In reference to the continued highly unsatisfac tory state of the Buenos Ayres foreign debt, the committee of Spanish American bondholders ad dressed, by the last packet, a representation to the head of the Executive Government of that State, of which the following is a copy : " Committee of Spanish American Bondholders, 1, St. Swithin s-lane, London, Feb. 8, 1855. " Excellent Sir,—The committee of Spanish Ameri can bondholders are under the necessity of addressing themselves to your Excellency as the head of the Exe cutive Government of the State of Buenos Ayres, in reference to the foreign debt of the republic. "Your Excellency must be aware that the position of that debt cannot but be one of great and increasing dis appointment to the parties interested therein in this country. "The committee request permission to recall your Excellency's attention to the circumstances attending this debt. "This loan was created in the year 1824. At that time the Republic of Buenos Ayres had just succeeded in establishing its political independence, and was natu rally in want of that pecuniary assistance which a young State, just about to take its position in the community of nations, might be expected to require. "This assistance was afforded by the British public, who, confiding no less in the honour and godd faith than in the well-knewn resources of the republic, did not hesi tate to become subscribers to the loan for its use, which was introduced to them under the sanction of the emi nent house of Baring Brothers and Co. "The confidence with which the British public em barked in this transaction was, in faot, sufficiently mani fested by the very high price at which the loan was issued. " Such was the commencement of the transaction. What has been its results ? " At this moment C.ere remain no less than 25 years of interest on +h i° JeDt unph " Is this, excellent sir, a state of things that ought to be suffered to remain ? "The bondholders having, at various timer, made re presentations to the Government of 'Buenos Ayres on this matter, have been compelled to postpone pressing the same in consequence of the political disquiet which has so often agitated the.country—having, under several Administrations, received the assurance that, whenever a return of tranquillity should enable the Government of Buenos Ayres to discharge its public obligations, it would not fail to do so. "The committee of bondholders, watching anxiously the course of political events at Buenos Ayres, perceived at length, with great satisfaction, in the year 1854, that the tranquillity so much desired by all the friends of that State had been restored, and political order re-established. "They thereupon despatched a special commissioner to represent their claims—Mr. James Giro—who left this country in December of that year. " This gentleman arrived in Buenos Ayres in the month of January, 1454. From that time to the present he has been incessantly engaged in pressing on the at tention of the Government of Buenos Ayres the adjust ment of this debt. Ha has emphatically urged the claims of the suffering bondholders. He has proposed terms of adjustment calculated to meet the convenience of the Government of Buenos Ayres, and such as were adopted in the adjustment of the debt of Chili, but hitherto without any result. " In the meanwhile the finances of Buenos Ayres have so improved that the Congress has considered its self justified, on the recommendation of his excellency the Finance Minister, in passing votes during its last session for the appropriation of very large sums for the erection of a new customhouse and other public works, while, for meeting the interest on the foreign debt, no provision whatever has been made. "On the contrary, these arrears are continually in creasing, inasmuch as the insignificant sum which is periodically appropriated by the Treasury of Buenos Ayres to the payment of a portion of the interest of that debt amounts only to one-fifth part of the said interest, leaving four-fifths thereof to be Continually augmenting, the amount of the previous arrears. " Can it be a matter of surprise to your excellency that the committee are compelled to announce to you, that this treatment of the British creditors produces the deepest disappointment here—a disappointment in no small degree aggravated by the fact that, while the foreign debt of the republic is thus dealt with, the inte rest on the domestic debt of the State is punctually dis charged ? " Can your excellency wonder that the bondholders appeal from this indifference of the Legislative body to you, as the political head of the State, and through you to the nation at large. - " By the tenour of the bonds issued for this debt, under the authority of the Congress of Buenos Ayres, all the revenues, lands, goods, and territories, of the State' were solemnly hypothecated for the payment of this debt and the interest 4 - hereon. The committee would respectfully ask, by what rule of justice and good faith it is that these revenues are applied to other pur poses, and that this special obligation is neglected ? " The republics immediately adjoining Buenos Ayres —Chili and Peru—have both, some years since, made a satisfactory adjustment of their respective foreign debts. The consequence is, their enjoyment of high credit in Europe, whereby they are enabled to command re sources for the internal improvement of their countries to any reasonable extent. Already a railway has been in operation in Chili for two years, of upwards of 50 miles in length, and another, of greater extent, is in course of construction. " Capital in Europe is always ready to employ itself in developing the resources of countries where the obli gations of good faith are respected. Buenos Ayres affords large opportunities of the same class, but capital and credit go togeth er . Wh ere public credit is not up held, capital will not follow. " The committee desire respectfully but earnestly to press the foregoing statement of facts upon the attention of your excellency. They trust that your excellency will take such measures in this matter that it shall Yo longer be a reproach to the State of Buenos Ayres, that she is the only one of the American States, fornaerly un der Spanish dominion, that has not made an adjustment of its foreign debt. Her trade is increasing —her revenue is increasing--he is in the enjoyment of political tran quillity. Can it be, then, that, when she is called upon to discharge those obligations which are recognised by every State admitted into the family of nations, she will be found wanting " The committee trust that the answer to this appeal will be an immediate adjustment of this long-pending matter with the authorised representative of the bond holder, now resident in Buenos Ayres, in a manner creditable to the honour and the dignity of the State of Buenos Ayres, in conformity with the just claims of the bondholders. _. "W© have the honour to be, excellent sir, your ex cellency's obedient servants, Cha (Signed) "J. D. POWLES, Co Span Bo: iirman of the immittee of ish American Indholders. " JOSEPH TASKER, " SAM. HELBEET ELLIS, " ROBERT FRED. GOWER, " SIMON SAMUEL, " RICHARD DAVIS HEATLEY, " EDWARD HASLEWOOD, " JOHN FIELD, " WILLIAM HARRISON, _ Members of the Committee. " To his Excellency the Governor of the State of )3uenos Ayres," The Telegraph, iron paddle-wheel steam-vessel, Com mander Jackson, the property of the Belfast Steam Shipping Company, taken up by the Government as a despatch transport (No. 184) to run between Balaklava and Constantinople, is especially adapted for the service for which she has been engaged. She is now coaling, while her cargo is alongside, and will leave P or t smout h harbour in a day or two fir the Crimea. She takes cut Mr. Stewart, fireman of fitters, to Malta dockyard, six fitters, two turners, and four boiler -makers for Con stantinople dockyard, and four petty officers, portions of the retinue of Rear-Admiral Stewart and Captain Hay. This vessel is splendidly fitted up. She was the one chosen by the home authorities to transport front Liverpool to Portsmouth a wretched staff of 50 car drivers, who are to be put under the com missariat authorities at the seat of war. What with dragging down the Channel in gales of wind and biting cold, and then dragging up the Channel, the poor fel lows at length got knocked up, and are now sick-12 being officially reported as unfit to proceed ; the rest are expected to be unfit for work too. On this state of h her car g o ; ipping things being made known, the command er very pro perly applied for a hulk in which the poor starvelings of drivers might be be r thed to recruit thems e l ves a l i ttle while the Telegraph is coaling and s but, although Portsmouth harbour is swarming with them, he was told by the naval officer to wh om h e made that requisition th a t it was not in the naval department, but in the general's. There were four alterations of mind as to her port of loading. Can anything better exhibit the want of efficient management or " head'. i n the transport service!

TO THE EDITOR OF VIE DAILY NEWS. FIR,—We beg to call your dttentio.,, and that of the public, to another lamentable case of poisoning, Which has just occurred in Bath, and which is reported in the " Times" of this day. When will the world open its eyes to the monstrous absurdity of giving deadly poisons for the cure of disease? And what is to be expected so long as such deadly agents are used, and marks and dog-Latin given as a guide to the compounder !! If life and death depend upon fractions of grains —or " sol" for " sal ' who Flu". be safe? The British College of Mealth and he Society of flygeists, acting upon the ilygeian system of James Morison, the Hygeist, have, dur ing* the last 30 years, protested against the infamous practice of holding out deadly poisons as medicines, or I' medicinally," as it is termed ; and they again take this opportunity of recording such pro test. The public happen to'hear of thi3 case, because it is a medical nien who suffers ; but suppose it had been a patient, would it not have been hushed up in oblivion? The British College of Health presented to Parliament, on the 15th of June, 1847, a petition against poisons used as medicines, signed by 19,950 persons; and, on the 7th of July, 1851, they presented another petition, signed by 3,331 per sons, against writing prescriptions in Latin, and signs or marks.— Yours, &e., TIIE MEMBERS OF THE BRITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH, New-road, London, for the Society of Hygeists..

Twenty of the Coldstream Guards, invalids from the Talavera, in the Sound, left Plymouth by the eznrees train on luonuay tor Lonaon ; And on ruesday DO sick and wounded artillerymen and two women from the same transport left Plymouth for Woolwich. They were escorted to the station by Adjutant Millman and Sergeant-Major Higgins, Royal Artillery, and were placed in charge of Sergeant Farrell, who went down from , bead-quarters to escort them back. Mr. Cock sholl, the railway superintendent, attended their depar ture, and provided them amply with cushions, boards, straw, and other comforts f or th e journey. Before de parture they expressed themselves in most grateful terms for the warm clothing, fruit, &c., sent off to the ship by the Mayor and otl:er inhabitants of Plymouth, and which had been carefully distribeted on board by Mr. G. W. Soltan. At Paddington omnibuses were in attendance to convey these brave fellows to their barracks. Orders have been issued for detachments of the Grena dier, Colibtr'eam, Scots,,,and Fusilier Guards to hold themselves in readiness to embark for Malta and the Crimea, at the latter end of this month. It is expected that they will take passage in the screw t teamer Great Britain, now fitting at Liverpool, to take out 1,600 troops. The Board of Ordnance are about to construct bar racks for 1,000 additional men at the western heights of Dover.

Between Bombay and Aden they lost seven hones ; five died from to produce its natural effect in a high rate of mortality, though the number of deaths registered last week in London is rather less than those of two previous weeks. The deaths, which in the third week of January were 1,549, and in the two subsequent weeks rose to 1,630 and 1,604, fell last week t• 1,546. According to the Greenwich Table of Meteorology, the mean temperature, which was about 42 deg. in the first fortnight of the year, was in the last four weeks only 28 . 9 deg., 29 . 3 deg., 29 . 8 deg., and 30 . 9 deg. The present return is for the sixth week of the year. Taking the deaths of the same week in each of the years 1845-54, it is found that they averaged 1,104, with which, after a correction for increase of population, the 1,546 deaths of fast week may be compared. The result is that the weather has been fatal in a week to 332 lives more than would have been extinguished in an ordinary season. The average temperature of the ten correspond ing weeks was 41.2 deg., which exceeds the temperature of last week by 10 . 3 deg. A comparison of the numbers who died at different ages in the lalt two weeks shows that the decrease noticed above is confined entirely to the young ; for in the period extending from 20 to 60 years of age the number suffered no change, while of persons in still more advanced life the deaths increased from 374 to 417. In this last number are 95 deaths of men and women on whose heads bad gathered fourscore win ters or more. Diseases of the organs of respiration were fatal in 424 cases, whilst the corrected average for corresponding weeks is only 245. Bronchitis is specified as the mortal disease in 235 out of the 424 cases, and is at present fatal to considerably more than twice its usual amount ; pneumonia numbers 12G, the average being 97. 153 persons ,died of consumption, a malady which is not caused, and shows less liability to be accelerated, by ex treme cold. • 90 children died of hooping-cough ; 13 persons of influenza.

The child is supposed to have caught the disease from two men suffering from small-pox in the same house.

"An English guard is about to be.formed at Pera, at the Galata Serai, to take the duties now intrusted to the Ottoman troops. "Yesterday her Majesty's ship Vengeance, 80, was reported from the signal station. She had been passed in the Dardanelles by the Gorgon (which vessel arrived at and left this port on Sunday last.) As, however, she did not come into the 'harbour, but continued her route with a fine breeze, it is propable that the vessel tele grapher] was not the one reported. "We have hal no arrivals lately of troops. Trans ports reach port daily." THE MILITIA. It has been decided to disperse the several companies of the Royal Sussex Artillery Militia along the coast at the following places :—Littleharapton, Eastbourne, the redoubt. tower (situated a short distance from the latter place), the Martello towers, and the sth company to re main at the Lewes depot. Major Chester wflf have command at Littlehampion, and Lieutenant-Colonel Dick, R.A.., will superintend their movements at East bourne. Efficient officers will also be put in command at the other posts. The volunteers from the Worcestershire Militia amount to 400 men, but it has been ordered that six fall companies of 90 each, or 540 men, must volunteer, or the regiment cannot be acceptesl. About 140 men are, therefore, still waited, and it is expected that this number will be obtained. Up to the present the Carlow Rifles number 270, lesE by a few of the men who ♦oltateered to the 72d Regi. men t. The enrolment of volunteers for the Leuth Rifle Militia progresses steaciily. There are now more than 150 in barracks. All the officers of the Royal Essex Rifles, with the majority of the non-commissioned officers and about 300 privates, have volunteered for garrison duty abroad. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

RUSSIAN TRAM — The Correspondence has the following from Tilsit :—" According to a lett er f rom Russia, material interests are beginning to feel the effect of war more and more. Raw produce must be got rid of, at first hand, at the lowest prices, on account of the cost of transport from the interior, in order to enable it to meet with purchasers abroad. Many Russian factories are also at a standstill, in conse quence of a want of raw material and fuel (coal), because the supplies conveyed to them by wheel are insufficient, and the prime cost is enormously increased by those of transport. For instance, as regards exports of tallow from southern Russia to Konigsberg (now the principal point of concentration and export, via Pillau), 30 days are required. The convoys generally consist of 50 waggons (or sledges), under the charge of 12 men, who receive 1,400 roubles for carriage and delivery at Konigsberg." In the life of every man there are certain periods when, overcome by soma bodily weakness, led aside by some strong passion, or engrossed by some favourite pursuit, he seems to lose his grasp over his destiny, to relax his efforts after the end at which ho is straining, and to sink back into ease, indolence, arid self-eomplaceney. Much such a period has this country passed threugh since the establishment of Free Trade in 1816. Immersed in the pursuit of material wealth, proud of the extension which our noble principle gave to our commerce, and happy i n the relief from pauperism and the increased facility of finding employment, we have been only too well content with things as they were, and too little disposed to in quire what they should be. The revolutions of IS4B, and the crimes, iniscrie, and absurdities to which they gave rise, had produced a reaction agaiuut liberal sym pathies and opinions, and a tendency to submit without inquiry to whatever authorities might be placed over us. The election of ISS was a struggle for a principle vir tually condemned already, and practically obsolete, and the nation only sought to strengthen the hands of those in whose adhesion to Free Trade they felt entire confi dence. From different circumstances it came to pass that at no period since the Reform Bill had the aristo cratic families obtained so firm a hold on office, place, and patronage as in the commencement of the year 1854. They had conducted our business for many years with out any extraordinary miscarriage or misfortune, and we were content to leave them the field of politics as their peculiar vocation and monopoly. But war has al ways been noted as an unsparing innovator, the de stroyer of conventional respectabilities, and the over thrower of all manner of snug and comfortable cliques and coteries. The experience of the last few months has awekeued the people of England from their dreams of wealth and prosperity, from their traditional self-gra tulations over the naval and military exploits of the late war, and from the supposition that mea invested with high rank and clothed with great office are possessed of faculties equal to the direction of our affairs whenever there is more than an ordinary strain on the vessel of the State. Our eyes are open, and we behold that we are naked. We ask for talent sufficient to conduct great affairs to succeesful conclusions, and instead of talent we are offered titles and pedigrees. We ask for merit, and we are offered in exchange high connexions, or, at best, seniority. The cold shade of aristocracy is over us all, and nothing can grow beneath it except the offshoots of the tree itself. Up to the middle of November this country believed itself to have armies, generals, states men, departments, all equal to their several duties, all of the very best the world could afford, and now, in the middle of February, in three short months, all is changed, or rather all is reversed. 'We have awoke from our dream of hope, prosperity, and success, to disaster and dismay. Our generals have turned out worse than use less our Ministers something more than incapable, every public department has been crushed into hopeless im becility by the weight of unbending routine and worth less formalities, and on no one occasion that we are aware of has the right man been selected to fill the right place. Everything has been mismanaged to a degree which, if predicted, would have been deemed incredible ; yet, so fUr as the public are aware, no single official has yet been recalled, and, after a week's interregnum, Govern ment has been reconstituted and strengthened only by the omission of three of its leading members, and the promotion of one who is at least as guilty as any of those omitted. The people of England have remained quiet under all these things. They have felt—as how should they not feel ?--the mortality which has brought mourning to every hearth. They have noted—as how should they not note l—the incredible and inexplicable confusion and stupidity which have presided over every department, giring reality to absurdities such as the most extrava gant imagination could never have painted, and occa sioning miseries such as the gloomiest prophet could never have foreboded. Why the people have been so long silent has been to most reflecting men a matter of wonder and astonishment. They feel most acutely, but they have remained hitherto passive spectators of the method in which their best hopes and dearest interests have been squandered and betrayed. Perhaps they have cherished a hope that at the meeting of Parliament all things would be well. Perhaps they have been content to read their sentiments faithfully reflected in the co lumns of the press. Whatever be the cause of the silence, that cause exists no longer, and ve have to look for an expression of public opinion from one end of this , country to the other which will convey to our governinm. classes a most clear and i n t e lli g ibl e warn i ng th a t th e patience of the nation is exhausted, and that the neces sity for widening the area from which our Executive is es i, te.t.oe. ;e 5 t -cab and rare.mouni.. The enthuciaatic meeting at the town of Derby has led the way, and the remaining towns of England wilt not be slow to follow. The cry is for practical statesmanship, for opening a tree career to talent, for pl icing our resources in hands equal to the emergency. The Derby petitioners hold no ex travagaat or exaggerated language ; they declare their confidence hi the justice of the war, they txpiess their humiliation and regret at the disasters which have oc curred, they pray f o r a searching in qn;ry into their causes, and suggest remedies adequate to the eintr . 4eney we have to meet. While MinisttrA are debating how to fill up the most important offices with Vie Iraq competent , persons, and consult ring the claims of rank, of family, and if connexion—of everything except merit and capa city—while the friends of "rising young statesmen" of the true breed are indefatigably so:iciting their ad vancement from office to office, the people of England, who care for none of these things, are gravely taking the matter into their serious consideration, and coming to conclusions but little favourable to the stability of the present governing classes. We have been ready to allow place and patronage to be monopolised by a few great families. We have been content to live in our own country, strangers to our own Government, ex cluded from the working of our own institutions, but it was only on condition that our national pride should be respected, and our interests and position in the great family of nations remain inviolate. This our aristocracy have failed to secure to us, and therefore the people of England will, we hope, demand, in no spirit of wild and theoretical levelling, in no spirit of hatred Cr animosity to any portion of the community, but in the spirit of practical reform of an urgent and intolerable grievance, that the system which excludes plebeian talent from high office shall henceforth be discontinued, and that in the army, at the desk, and in the council, those men clod! be called to the public service who are best able to serve the public. \Vc wish all success to this movement. It has been our painful lot to witness more nearly than others and to obtain more ample information as to the manner in which this war has been conducted, and wed;, not hesitate to express the opinion that without an entire change of system, a substitution of youth and energy for age and decrepitude—unless some plan can be hit upon by which merit shall be the only criterion in the filling up of civil and military offices—without, in fact, a complete abandonment of the claims of wealth, of family, and of interest, in favour of that higher nobi lity which the hand of God has impressed on the fore head of every man of talent, it is vain for us to continue the present contest, and better to accept any conditions, however degrading and however humiliating, since n• degradation and no humiliation suffered at the Laude the enemy can exceed those which our own servility and meanness have inflicted, aad are about to inflict, upon ourselves. SPIRIT OF TILE PUBLIC JOURNALS. (Prom the Times of this day.) (From the Daily News of this day.) A brisk canvass is in progress, among the members of the House of Commons, with a view to induce then to allow the inquiry into the conduct of the war to drop. The agents of the Treasury are indefatigable. If their fingers are not "in every man's palm," their "noses are in every man's oar." And their solicitations are not without effect. Many flexible virtues begin to bend. For this the confession of Lord Derby—that some of his followers voted in the majority to damage Ministers, though they disapproved of inquiry—will have prepared the public. But the public will not be satisfied with that pettifogging practice which votes one thing and means another. The public heard with joy that Mr. Roebuck's motion for a committee of inquiry was car ried, from a conviction that nothing short of an exposure of past mismanagement, and its causes, cam insure better management of the war for the future. The public will be indignant if the only result of a solemn vote of in quiry, by an overwhelming majority, shall lead to no other results than a game of " change seats, the King's coming"—the two parties to the game who fail to get the necessary conolu seats being obliged to stan d out. If the Hou se of Com muneitnqe wholeuiry affa i r to drop, a air has been a mere party si on wi allow be h thath move—a gains at political rouge et neir—by which the best interests of the country have been perilled merely to subserve personal ambitions. The inquiry must go o n . Th e pretexts un d er which it is sought to be evaded may serve to recon cile shuffling and tergiversating politicians to their own want of firmness and honesty, but will not satisfy the country. We are told that Ministers cannot work with such an inquiry hanging over their heads. The inquiry is not intended to criminate the Government as at present constituted, but to reveal the efficiency or in efficiency of the system by which they are expected to carry into effect the national will. We are told that to render the inquiry effective officers must be withdmawn from the Crimea to give evidence. Not at all. The main object is to unveil the defective organisation that has paralysed the hands of the 'mine Government, and all the information requi,ite for that purpose can be ob tained in this country. We are told that the inquiry will give umbrage to the French Government, as throw ing blame on military operations to which it is a party By no means. It is the defective organisation of our own army—aud especially of the civil branches—that is to be inquired into, and that affects not France or Frenchmen. The transparent nature of the fallacies by which men are sought to be prevailed upon to desist from inquiry proves at once the conscious guilt of those who are moving heaven and earth to evade it, and their utter inability to get up a case. If the House of Com mons stultify itself by rescinding its vote Mr. Roe buck's motion, nobody will believe that it has been con winced, by such flimsy shadows of arguments. Government from its The present is no time to trifle with the nation by adopting resolution) which shake a Go_ seat on one evening, and rescinding them before a couple of weeks have passed. There is a dangerous spirit abroad. Mingle with what class of society you may, you find it pervaded by a vague and aimless sense of die. satisfaction. All men feel bitterly thatlhe war has been mismanaged ; and that, in consequence, many ♦aluable lives have been wantonly and unnecessarily thrown away, and disgrace brought on the national arms. But they know not exactly who ought to be blamed, or how the evil can be amended. They are in a mood to be angry with everything and everybody. They rail at the Peelites as the main inane of the mischief ; they rail at the Liberals who have stuck by them, for lendiag them countenance ; they rail at Lord. John Rassell, both for adhering so long to his ex•colleagues and for leaving them. It is easy to say that all this is very unreason able ; it is not the less dangerous oa that account. But it is not altogether unreasonable. It is the natural temper of a nation suddenly awakened to the conscious ness that those whom it trusted with the conduct of its affairs have led it into a position of extreme peril, and unable, at the moment, to discover any means of extri cating itself from the danger. It is exactly the mood in which a peopkt is in danger of being betr eyed into rash and destructive anuses, unless it ca❑ find clear-sighted and fearles lcadcrs. And the aristocratic graspers at a monopoly of poli tical power, who are the principal cause of the danger, are awakening to a sense of the peril to which they have cxpored themselves and the country. You may read it in their tremulous tones and pallid faces. They see that a great crisil is impending : they cannot divine its nature —they cannot conjecture its results—and the darkness and mystery that obscure their own and the nation's future appals their souls. The only persons among them who remain imperturbable are the Peelites ; and their self-possession is simply the result of that intense self conceit which blinds them to the feeling the country en tertains towards them. The crisis is indeed full of danger ; but the country has passed through many that have been more dan gerous. Some such rude shock as they have received was necessary to awaken Englishmen to a knowledge of the precipice upon which they have been slumbering. The unmanly mood of aimless, universal grumbling will not long possess them. Their confidence in their own good sense and in the country's resources will soon restore them to a more worthy temper. In the alliance of Lord Palmerston and Lord Join Russell they will see a ray of hope. They know that the most prominent feature in the Premier's character is a san guine defiance of dangers, owing to which he is never more thoroughly self-possessed than in extreme emer gencies. In his eagerness to obtain the services of Lord John Russell at Vienna, they will see the high estimation in which the Court and his late colleagues hold that statesman. They will feel confident that Lord John proceeds to Vienna with the view, if possible, of makino• an honourable peace (and no peace that does not give Europe entire security against the inveterately aggressive propensities of Russia can be honourable) ; or, if that be impossible, of carrying on a more exten sive war. So long as Lord Palmerston and Lord John Russell remain united, they are mutual guarantees for each other's good faith. Every possible obstacle will, no doubt, be thrown in their way by the friends of the Czar—by the Pee lite% the mammon-worshippers, and the puny eclectic politi cians of tie Cornewall Lewis sohool. But the people will support them. And to be able effectively to sup- port them, the people must be girding up their loans for an approaching general election. It is true that the threat of an election was only uttered at first with a view to scare mutinous members of the House of Com mons into good behaviour. But every day adds to the evidence that it is the only means by which a Ministry that has at heart the interests and honour of Britain can obtain the requisite power to carry its policy into effect. Let all who sincerely wish for a thorough reform of oar military and naval establishments—all who wish to see the people take their legitimate share in the administra tive as well as the legislative branches of government— all who do not wish to hear the Reform Act of 1831 read backward, like a witch's prayers—be on the alert. THE WEATHER, THE PARKS, cc. The various Royal parks during yesterday presented more the appearance of as many fairs in honour of some great national event than the usually quiet promenades set apart for the enjoyment of her Majesty's subjects. The ice was literally covered with human beings, who were amusing themselves by either sliding or skating, and, as will be seen from the subjoined, a number of seri ous casualties occurred, which in all probability will compel the sufferers to keep their beds, either in the hospitals or at their respective homes, for the remainder of the skating season. The thermometer at the Royal Humane Society's re ceiving-house in Hyde Park, during the night of Mon day, fell as low again as 23, being 9 degrees below the freezing point. Yesterday morning the quicksilver rose to 25, and even at noon it rose no higher than 27, being then 5 degrees below the freezing point. Towards seven o'clock in the evening the mercury commenced to fall rapidly, indicating a continuance of the present severe weather. The barometer stood at 29.42. The wind, which was north-east, was piercingly cold, and was ac companied by slight snow-storms, and in many places the congealed substance was sent over the country dis tricts in such bodies as to cause great inconvenience to pedestrians or persons passing along on horseback or in vehicles. The Thames about Richmond is completely frozen over, and no craft, even of the smallest description, can either pass up or down the river. As low down as Illackfriars-brid g e a large surface of the water was yes terday covered with ice (on the upper side) to the width of two of the centre arches, which extended many yards Irons the piers of the bridge. This provcnted any de seiiption of ves,els from passing under that part of the brid;..re. Nearly :111 the steam-vessels plying above Lon don Ridge have been compelled to be laid up for the pr , :ent, :tied strong fears 41/ e entertained, that, if the pre se nt sever e weather should last another week, a fair will be able to be held on the Thanes, as was the case in the year ISI4. 1.1 St. James's Park about 15,000 persons amused themselves on the ice, which is now six inches thick. A very novel scene took place in the enclosure, which drew many thousands to the spot. Between 2 and 3 o'clock a performance, termed the " Express Train," came off. This consisted of 300 or 400 men, who extended back to front nearly 100 yards. Having seized each other's coats they started at a given signal, some whistling the " Rail way Overture," and others making a noise resembling the blowing off the steam of a locomotive. This large body of men who were at certain distances joined by some of the Foot Guards, glided over the i ce a t th e ra t e of three-quarters of a mile per minute. Owing to the exertions of Deputy Superintendent Parsons and the icemen under him, the performance went off without any of those engaged in the affair meeting with any serious accident ; but owing to the continued crowding of the spectators, about thirty persons were either knocked down or fell upon the ice, by which they sus tamed serious cuts on the head and other injuries. They were taken to the society's marquee, where their wounds were dressed, and th e y were enabled to be sent Lome ; but several others, by falling upon the ice, sus tained broken arms and legs, and these were forced to be removed to the hospitals. The Serpentine River in Hyde-park bad upon the ice about 8,000 sliders and skaters ; amongst the number were several members of the nobility, gentry, and clergy. Five persons were run down, and had their heads cut open by falling on the points of the gentlemen's or ladies skates ; of the latter sex there were some bun. dreds disporting themselves. It is here necessary to state that the Serpentine River in Hyde-park, as far as the bridge which divides Kensington -gardens, is under the direction of H.R.H. the Duke of Cambridge, the ranger ; whilst the other Dart of thA ri.---, : 41., gardens, is mule,. 4i.e ,ontroi of her Majesty's Commis sioners of Woods and Works. To prevent persons pass ing from the Park to Kensington gardens iron chains have been affixed to the middle of the arches, and car ried right across. In each link of the chains are heavy spikes as sharp at the point as a bayonet. Owing to the intensity of the frost these have become frozen, and in some parts only the points of the spikes can be seen, and when any one is passing over them with great ra pidity along the ice, it is almost impossible to see the .T r i a l b is le w m as em t b h e e r casa yesterday for until in 3 c i o r n . ta L c e t sl w ie i , th the the h m o honourable County, when the peak of hi s s k ates caught spikes the projection, and he fell upon the spikes with such force that one of them entered the fleshy part of his thigh, causing the blood to flow most copiously. Great as the pain must have been, the honourable gentleman had the presence of mind to take a silk handkerchief from his pocket, and, after placing it round the wound, with the aid of his walking cane he wound it up so tight as to stop in a great measure the hemorrhage. Some of the icemen, under the direction of Mr. Williams and his deputy, Mr. Alurphy, took the sledge to his assist move bun to the receiving-house ance, and placed th e su ff e rer thereontil cameinhtisencadirnrgiatgoerteo -haocsasbe,and he was forthwith • n drlve home, and w as i mme di ate l y t a a l o k n e g him be f ore home he c c o o u u ld ld a r r r e i a ir c e h . t F h e o r r t u e e n e a i t v e i l n y g , attended by Dr. Guthrie. The spike, being in such a rusty state, it is feared that the hon. gentleman nay he laid up for sonic time. A female, with a child in her arms, narrowly escaped a similar fate, as she fell w ithin half an inch of one o f th e sp ik es, ould if she had d r opped upon it she would have been injured for life. It is the opinion of Mr. Williams that the chains and spikes ought to be removed forthwith, for if they are allowed to remain until Sunday, presuming that the frost should last so long, it will be next to an impossi bility to prevent several serious, and, perhaps, fatal ac cidents. The Long Water, in Kensington Gardens, had about 1,000 sliders and skaters, including several members of the Skating Club, but no accident deserving a detailed notice occurred during the day. The Round Pond was patronised by not more than 500 persons, and no accidents occurred. The Regent's Park lyid about 12,000 persons up on the ice, and several ladies and gentlemen were severely injured by fatting or being run down by the skaters. The Crystal Palace C om p an y of S y den hatu have also afforded a beautiful sheet of water for s ome of the mem bt rs of the Skating Club and others to enjoy the exhila rating exeicise without any risk of b e i ng drowned; and, moreover , the ice of this place is in a fa r b e tt er codition th an in any of the Royal parks. Th e Victoria Park in the eas t was a l so craw d s d w ith sliders and skaters, but no accident of a serious cha racter, beyond a few cut heads, took 1 p ace.
