TA the INDEPENDENT FREEMEN and ELECTORS of the BOROUG-11 of BOSTON. GENT atirs, The elevation of Sir Gilbert Heathcote to the Peerage being likely to cause a vacancy in the representation of your ancient borough, I beg to announce myself as a Candidate for the high honour of your suffrages at the next election. I need not on this occasion enter at any length into the exposition of my political sentiments. I may state generally that I am a supporter of the principles of Civil and Religious Liberty to their fullest extent ; and that, on every occasion 'when my vote in Parliament may be required, it will be given on the side of rational progress, and of the social, moral, and political advancement of the people. I am a firm friend to Popular Education, and think it not only cheaper, but more just and more merciful, to spend the publie money upon schools, that may prevent the growth of criminality, than upon prisons and penitentiaries, to punish it. lam an advocate for a further reform in our Parliamen tary system, and for promotion by merit in all classes and vaults of the public service, not only in the army and navy, but in the civil and diplomatic professions. in order that dis grace may not befall the country in the eyes of the world, or that the disaster which springs from incompetency rather than dishonesty may not endanger our position as a leading power in Europe. I am a friend of economy in all depart ment' of the State ; but would not carry economy in any one of them to such a point as to impa'r efficiency. lam also in favour of an equitable reconsideration of our whole system of taxation, in order that the revenue necessary to the support of the State and of the public credit may not be drawn from those unable to bear the burthen; and that in their collection they may not prevent the proper growth and expansion of our trade and manufactures at home, and of our commerce with all parts of the world. lam in favour of justice to our Colonies, and of such a system of administration as shall make them a source of strength and not of weakness to the parent country. While ready to support the Government in any well-con sidered and well-advised projects having for their object the public advantage in our great towns and cities, I shall decidedly oppose any attempt to interfere with the inherent Privilege of Englishmen—the right of local self-government a right which is at the very foundation of our liberties. On the great question of peace or war it may be expected that I should express my sentiments. I am, as all Christian Men must be, an enemy to war in the abstract, and especially to the wars waged by despots against the rights, the liberty, and the independence of other nations. For this reason, I approve of the means taken by Great Britain and France—in their glorious, and, as I hope, their perpetual, alliance—to limit the aggressions of Russia, and to secure the indepen dence of Turkey. While hoping that peace may result from the Conferences now sitting at Paris, I should consider a dis ' honourable peace as the greatest calamity that could happen to this country and to Europe. In my estimation, the only Peace that is worth obtaining is a peace which will effectually restrain the power whose guilty ambition led to the war ; and which will enable the several nations•. of Europe—and Russia among the number--to Prosper in security, developing their resources, extending their systel of railroads, and be - mein: the customers and friends of this country. Although I have non of late years been a resident in Boston, I have not been a stranger to the place of my birth. Asinany of you know, I have ever been ready to aid ii" any enterprise likely to be of benefit to a town endeared to me by so many associations ; and I need scarcely remind you that, if you do tie the high honour of returning mo as your representative to Parliament, I shall be hi a better position than any 'stranger could be of looking after and advaseiog to the utmost extent of my power your local interests and wants. In a few days I hope to be able to make a personal canvass, and shall be ready to give a frank and candid expression on all political matters required of me. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient, huml - de servant, HERBERT INGRAM. Illustrated London News Office, Milford House, Strand, London, Feb. 25. THEATRE ROYAL, COVENT GARDEN.

STAMPED SD• , rEIR, • - sss,„: Death is the last punish men t w hi c h the ju*tica of man can award to the greatest criminal. When' the moment of enforced agony is over, and the guilty spirit is dismissed to the judgment seat above, there is an mid of all vindictiveness and all animosity. There must, however, be no confusion of the eternal difference between right and wrong —no maudlin palliation of great. crimes, because the best among us have often tripped and some times sinned. Let us at least ablier vice if we do not always avoid it. Let us, indeed, be sterner critics upon ourselves than upon our fellow-crea tures ; but no false commisseration or complaisance should bind us to silence when a country is star tled with the rumour of a great crime because the criminal has expatiated his guilt by a violent death. Our readers must have already perceived that we are speaking of the suicide of John Sadleir. It is not for the purpose of denouncieg the individual, nor of giving additional publicity to his disgrace, that these observations are intended. The tact of his violent and horrible death, and the history of his crimes are already so notorious that nothing we can say could add to his dishonour. If we re mark upon the tragical end of his career at all, it is as a protest against that fearful spirit of specn!ation which is the vice of our times ; it is that others may see in his fate something akin to that which awaits themselves when they are driven to the end of their shifts and contrivances—when they h sve exhausted the suggestions of cunning and the re sources of crime. The bankrupt's despair, the felon's cell, the cold bed of the suicide on the damp most, must be reached at last, the fitting termination to a life only supported by the plunder and drink of others. John Sadleir does not stand alone in his guilt and in his shame. The criminal records of the last year can show the names of men who stood as high or higher in the world's eye, but of whom we now forbear to speak, from very pity for their fallen estate. Hundreds, we fear, of persons in this metropolis, and in the larger mercantile towns of the kingdom, are now engaged in the same perilous traffic. It needs but a reverse and an opportunity, and why should they hesitate to follow in the foot steps of the most keen-witted and unscrupulous of their predecessors ? The proceedings of the adjourned coroner's in quest, which we publish this day, do not throw much additional light upon the nature of the em barassments which drove John Sadleir to despair. Letters of his, written a few hours before he sallied out on his fatal expedition, were produced, but they inform us of little beyond what was already known. This is their general tenour :—" I cannot live. I have ruined too many . I could not live and see their agony. I have committed diabolical crimes unknown to any human being. They will now ap pear, and bring my family and others to distress, shame, and grief that they should ever have known me. I b'ame no one, but attribute all to my own infamous villany." Such, •as will he seen by our report this day, is the general tenour of these letters, which are written in a spirit bordering on distraction. It is, how ever, sad to know that the self-accusations are not the mere suggestions cf a diseased brain. It is true that the writer was guilty of diabolical crimes; it is true that Ire has swindled and forged to a fearful event ; it is to be feats I—as he himself says—that he has been the cause of permanent misery to thousands of unoffendine peoi le. Let us not deceive ourselves, nor, out of false pity for the wretched author of all this sorrow, endeavour to palliate the atrocity of his =l e. If the heinous ness of crimes be measured by their consequences, the man who carries disaster, if not absolute ruin, into a hundred amilies is stained with deeper guilt than the mere ruffian who attacks life. The report is that, when the full extent of his villanies is known, it will be found that, in one form or another, he has swindled the public to an amount little short of half a million. It would seem mar vellous to those who have not been under the un fortunate necessity of watching the course of mo dern speculation how a man who, probably, started, in the world without any fortune at all could in volve himself and others to such an extent. In Sadleir's case, however, it must be considered that, independently of the ordinary resources of the spe culator, he was enabled, from his official position, to commit many crimes without fear of imme diate discovery, which another man could not have attempted without instant detec tion. It would be as yet premature to suggest any precise estimate as the limit of his de falcations. When a man is in a position to forge title-deeds, railway shares, and mortgages to an indefinite amount, there need be little limit to his operations. He is also charged with having frau dulently assigned away deo& held in trust by hind to an enormous amount. As a forger he seems to have been remarkably successful, and it is said that the signatures of the Irish Encumbered Estates' Commissioners have been so skilfully executed that • no one, however familiar with their handwriting, could distinguish between the forgeries and the genuine signatures. At the close of last week it was added that many forgeries on private indivi duals had been already male out, and that the dis covery of many more was anticipated. On the whole, this seems the greatest 'crash made by any single individual in recent times. We purposely avoid dealing with what may be called the " picturesque" features of this remark able case. Wo have no wish to dwell upon the despair of the detected forger, and his last ghastly walk to the heath where lie was about to lay down his life. Burglary and murder have been made " interesting" ere this, but let nothing of this kind be attempted now. We would wish to hear the crimes of John Sadleir spoken of wish whole s .ime and universal abhors, ace, hut let even indig s nation spare his unlionourest grave ; let there he no morbid dwelling upon the last scenes of his life n upon his closing agony. He has already ap peared at the bar of that Almighty Judge before whom we must all of us one day stand ; to that tribunal let him be left. If word of ours would avail, we would deprecate all further anti unneces sary prying into the secrets of the family even by the Coroner and his jury. It is surely proved that John Sadleir died by his own hand, being unable to bear the shame of exposure and the consequence of his crimes. What has the public to do with the distracted letters addressed by the suicide to his relatives in the last moments of his career? Ono sentence from these contains the whole moral of his guilty life and tragical death :—" Oh ! that I had resisted the first attempts to launch me into speculation !" There are many of the English public who woad do well to lay seriously to heart the dying words of John Sadleir.—Times. waTsll,,EmNiVßEeNaSiLnETtDbAeLdßilPiEsiEoßnAGliEst.—olf'htehefooHllorring useof"Lpaori'dr: on Friday last :—Earl of Jersey in favour of Lord Lyndhurst's motion, with Lord Dunfermline against it.

Fifty thousand well-known and recorded cases establish this ; and the number of wit , nesses to its effects is daily increasing. Amongst the female sex its salutary effects are as marked as amongst males. Kies Elizabeth Jacobs writes, from Nazing Vicarage, near Wal thaw Cross, Hefts :—" I have been suffering at least 7 years, in the prime of life, from indigestion, nervousness, headaches, inflammation, and gatherings, low spirits, general debility, sleeplessness, and. delusions; and, during all that time, 1 have required, every year, so much medical attendance that I have been almost ruined by doctors' bills." She then presents her heartfelt gratitude to Messrs. du Barry for the complete cure effected by Du Barry's Food. Mrs. Mary Godeatark, of Bunton, writes :—" Your excellent Food has released me from an incredible accnraulation of snliering, for which, during the last 8 years, all kinds of medicines bad been tried .in va;n. My feelings and sufferings previouit to taking your Food were the following :—indigestion, nervousness, biliousness, affec tion of the liver and kidneys, costiveness, palpitation of the heart, noises in the car, pains in almost all the body, low spirits, general debility, loss of memory, wretchedness, thoughts of self-destruction."

THE FOUNDER OF THE ROUSE OF .ROMANOFF. There is an air of romance in the elevation to the throne of Muscovy of the first of the reigning dynasty of Russia, well calculated to favour, in the minds of a semi barbarous people, the notion of an extraordinary destiny. During the reign of Godunoff, the boyar Fedor Romanoff had been compelled by that Czar to become a monk, from which position he was raised by Demetrius to be Archbishop of Kieff. In that capacity he was sent to the King of Poland to invite the King's son—who, after the battle of Klushino (1610), and the occupation of Moscow by the Polish General, bad been elected Czar—to the capital. Sigismund, the King, retained him as a State prisoner ; and while he remained in durance he learned that the Russians, disappointed at Sigismund not sending his son to take possession of the throne, had announced their allegiance to Prince Vladislaw, and were ptoceeding to the election of a new Czar. Immediately upon bearing this, the boyar Feder Romanoff wrote secretly to his brother-in-law, advising that in their choice of a new monarch the Muscovites should be cautious not to choose him from a powerful family, and also to circumscribe his authority by several restrictions, borrowed from the Polish Constitution, and which they had imposed upon Sigismund's son, at the recommendation of the Polish General. This advice, however, was disregarded. The Russians proceeded to the election of a Czar untrammelled by an) conditions whatever, and their choice fell upon Michael Romanoff, the boyar's own son. The sew Czar was then only sixteen years of age, and his only claim to the throne was the fact that his father was cousin to the Czar Fedor Ivanovitob, whose mother was Michael's grand-aunt. It was with great reluctance that he accepted the proffered dignity, and his reluc tance was supported by that of his mother, who knew too well the perils of Czarship to desire such an elevation for her son. The entreaties, and remonstrances of the clergy, however, overcame the scruples of both, and the house of Romauoff was founded. Oddly enough the reign of the new dynasty was inaugurated by a charac teristic which Michael's successors have never lost. One of his first acts was to make a treaty, and almost imme d diately afterwards to break it —fifortung Advertiser. PUBLICATIONS.

J. Browne." We have been requei..ted to notice the following order:-- " Admiralty Feb. 8. " I run commanded . . . that it is their Lordchip,' desire that officer+ of the navy should not wear beards or moustaches on board her Majesty's ships. " By the regulations of the service men are expected to be properly shaved, and it is essential that a good ex ample on this point should he set by their officers."

Brevet-Major \Vemys, of the artil lery companies of the Royal Marines, is ordered to kohl himself in readiness fur general service, and two detachments, each consisting of one captain, one ser geant, two corporals or bombardiers, and 10 gunners, are to be held in readiness,—one to proceed to Ply mouth for embarkation, the other to join her Majesty's ship Rodney, in lieu of an equal number of the light in fantry companies of the corps. Her Majesty's ship Nile, 91, Captain Mundy, arrived at Portsmouth !yesterday from Plymouth, and joined the fleet at Spithead. The Calcutta, 84, has been commissioned at Ply mouth by Captain Hall, C. 8., late of the Exmouth, for the flag of Sii Michael Seymour, the newly-appointed commander-in•chief on the East India station. Com mander Rolland, also late of the Exmouth, will follow his admiral to his present ship. Lieutenant Fowler, an old and very excellent officer, is to serve in the Cal cutta as first lieutenant. The Harier, 17, Commander Derriman, kit Spithead yesterday to join Captain Watson's advance squadron in the Downs. _ The Arrogant, 47, Captain Lyster, completed the re adjustment of her compasses in Portsmouth harbour yesterday, and will most likely join the fleet at Spithead to-day. The Alipore, sailing transport No. 8, arrived at Spit head on Sunday evening. The Jackdaw and Grasshopper gun-boats were put out of dock yesterday at Portsmouth, and the Cock chafer taken in. The gun-boat Hasty went down to the Arsenal-wharf at Woolwich yesterday morning from the dockyard, to receive her ammunition ; and will proceed to Greenhithe preparatory to joining the squadron at Portsmouth. The gus-boats Griper, Lieutenant Singer ; the Julia, Lieutenant Clutterbuck ; and the Herring, Lieutenant Louis Gencete, commanding, were yesterday morning taken out of Woolwich basin, and steamed down to the Arsenal, to be provided with their ammunition, stores, eto. These boats are fully equipped with their comple ment of good and efficient seamen. The paddle-wheel steamer Dee, Master-Commander Pullen, arrived at Woolwich yesterday morning, and is lying alongside the A igle coaling, in preparation for her return voyage to Portsmouth with boilers and steasa to a.ehin ary. The Admiralty yacht Black Eagle returned to Wool wich yesterday morning from her experimental cruise, and has likewise commenced coaling at the hulk. On Saturday afternoon Messrs. John Scott and Sons, of Greenock, launched the first of six mortar vessels which they are constructing for Government service. Her materials are the very best which can be procured, and she measures as follows :—Length, 76 feast : breadth, 23 feet 6 inches ; depth, 10 feet ; tonnage, ai7 register. That she may safely withstand the concussion of the mor tars with which she will be armed, this boat. is built of a strength equal to that of a ship Of nearly 1,000 tone burden, and in her magazine she has space for 1,000 shells, in addition to the requisite quantity of powder and stnall-arms. The other mortar-boats are rapidly ap proaching completion, the M essrs . Scott having been working at them night and day since they received the order. The Leviathan gun boat, which is being con structed by Mr. Robert Napier, of Govan, on the Clyde, is also making rapid progress, and will ;he launched in the course of the spring. . The 17th and 24th companies of the Royal Sappers and Miners, under orders to leave Brompton Barracks to embark for foreign service, are expected to Jeave Chat ham shortly, for the purpose of proceeding to the Baltic.

About 200 men are re quired to fill up the vacaneiee in this carps. Another large nu:nber of Crimean invalids arrived at Chatham yesterday ' having come up by special train from the hospital at Chichester. On their . arrival at the Strood station a fatigue party from the previsional bat talion was in attendance to assist the sick and wounded to the vans and ambulance waggon in waiting to convey . them to Brompton.

The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—The. Rev. J. A. Barrough, Chaplain, and Naval Instructor, to the London ; C.

Neshatn, Naval Cadet, to the Conqueror. Captain Sir Robert M'Clure (the discoverer of the North-West passage), has superseded Captain Birch in command of her Majesty's steam corvette Esk, 21, and will, we have not the slighest doubt, soon get this most useful ship well manned and is excellent order. We have already heard that numerous blue jackets, attracted by the appointment of the new captain, have volunteered for the Esk. There is a well-founded rumour that, in order to re lieve the commanders' list of many old officers, and thus enable Sir Charles Wood to bring forward for employ ment a number of the rising young men, a circular has been issued from the Admiralty to a certain number of commanders, offering to plebe them, after the Ist of July, on the retired list of captains, with a half-pay of 10s. 6d. per diem. THE NEW UNIFORM FOR THE NAVY. The committee for arranging the new uniform for the officers of the Royal navy is still sitting at the Admiralty, with, we believe, Rear-Admiral the lion. H. J. Rous as chairman. We suspect from the protracted sittings of this important committee that some difficulty has been found in pleasing all grades of the service. If any fur ther advice be required we would recommend that some experienced naval and military tailors should be called in to assist at the future conferences. Mr. Buckmaster would doubtless be found useful ; and to assist him we could name no better firm than 011ivier and Brown, of Sackville-street, a firm not only already popular both in the army and navy for their liberality and other recom mendations, but who are known to possess much refine ment in taste and execution. Whatever may be the result of the labours of the officers now engaged in fixing upon a new "rig" for the service, we trust that no fur ther change will be permitted to take place for years to come, as few matters annoy naval men more than the constant interference of the Board of Admiralty with their articles of dress.-71ferning Herald. MILITIA. On Friday the Ist Regiment of Lanarkshire Militia, stationed at Hamilton, was offered the opportunity of volunteering, when 150 men stepped out of the ranks and declared their readiness to join the Line. Of these, 104 men were accepted, passed, and enrolled into the Royal Artillery, and the 34th, the 43d, and the 72d Regiments. The volunteers were conducted to the rail way station on their way to their respective corias, being - escortabi thii - iih - Ole regiment with the band playing, and accompanied by a large concourse of the inhabitants, who cheered the men as they went along. Volunteering front the Royal Longford Rifles took place on Wednesday last at Clare Castle, the head-quar ters of the regiment. Forty-eight men were enlisted for different regiments—namely, Royal Artillery, 17th, 31st, 41st, and 56th Regiments. Although the quota of the Longford Rifle Regiment is not allowed to exceed 385 privates, still this small corps has given upwards of 220 men to the Line in the short space of nine months. THE FIFTH POINT, AND ITS TRUE SIGNIFICANCE. It is obvious that the main controversy in the Paris Conference will be the terms involved in the Fifth Point. The First Point is already settled, so is the Second ; the Fourth is not likely to create much disunion, and the Third, at worded by the Allies in opposition to M. Nes selrode's propesed emendation, leaves them at full liberty to demand all they can wish to make out of it. There can be no verbal objection to making the Black Sea everywhere wholly inaccessible to a single Russian ship of war of any sort. But no one seems yet to have full y considered the di ffi culties and the significance of th e Fifth Point. Interpreted in its simplest and most na tural sense, it would seem to he a mere expletive, or next to one—to leave no room for anything not already in cluded in the Four Poiuts....,lnshort, it seems, techni cally viewed, to have reference to nothing but the Black Sea and Turkey. This consideration appears to me of great importance; I because it either allows of no margin for the protection of Sweden and the coasts of Europe, by the restriction of the Russian navy and fortifications in the Baltic, or it allows of much more. It seems to be universally ad mitted that Bomarsund and the A land Islands must not be allowed to be fortified, as that would be as standing a menace to Sweden and Denmark as Sebastopol to Turkey ; yet that lies quite as much out of the literal domain of the Fifth Point as the re-construction of Poland. The inference from this is obvious, - and admits of no question, as far as I can see. It may have been a blunder of our Govertunent to have ever allow, d themselves to be entrapped into reviving the defuuct Four Points ; but there is no question that the inter pretation of the Fifth Point must be decided by the golden maxim, " Salus popoli sztprenta lex esto." This is especially the case when we are dealint , with a notoriously unscrupulous and perfidious, as well as bar barous enemy. The late Sir R. reel said, in speak ing of our dealing s with the natives of India, that we cannot act towards them as we would towards civilised and conscientious Governments, by whom chivalry and courtesy would be worthily received and reciprocated. It is needless to remark that the observation is at least equally applicable to the Russian Court and Ministry. The fact is, that this Fifth Point is either virtually a mere expletive, or leaves an indefinite margin for di manding any security that may be considered necessary for restrioting the power and aggression of Russia. It, therefore, leaves open the question of indemnity . . . for the expenses of the war (besides the extinction of that nefarious job, the Russc-Dutch Loan), curtailment of Russian territory, the prohibition of Russian railroads without the permission of the Allies (especially after the daring announcement of the Russian journal, the Northern Bee, that railroads would be still mere impor tant to the Russian Government in a military than a commercial point of view), and the restriction of Rue sian fortresses and ships of war in the North, East, and Caspian, as well as in the Black and Baltic Seas. There is another point closely connected with, or rather included in, these—the prohibition of Russia hav ing the possession and control of those corn-growing countries on which Europe is partly dependent for its supplies. whether it ma not be well to take another le af out of Russia's book, It may also be well worth consid er n g y and bind her over to pay a larger nominal sum than the real one, as she did in the case f o Persia, so as to hold her in check for her good behaviour. All these demands, it is to be remembered, lie no mom e beyond the range of the Fifth Point than the prohibi tion to refortity Bornarsund, which is admitted en all hands to be an imperative requisite. One thing that Lord Clarendon would do well to remember is, that it will be far better for him that the negotiations should be broken off as they were last year, from his maintaining the honour of England too h i g hly to satisfy the opposite parties, than that he s hould lower the dignity of England, and injure the interests of Europe, by a hollow and unsatisfactory peace. He will be far better received on his return in the former case than in the latter. If we could trust to his always maintaining the principles he has frequently professed, especially in the beginning of the war—that it was undertaken is the interests of civilisation and hu manity —We should be without fear for the result ; but we cannot forget that he has not always remained con sistent to these. We do not wish, however, to recall anything in the past to his disadvantage ; and if be will, in the approaching Conference, maintain the high posi tion he may, in accordance with the national wishes, he will be welcomed home from his mission, whether end ing in peace or war, with the heartfelt congratulations and good wishes of the British p7eple. Lastly, should even Lord Clarendon disappoint car hopes, let us trust that Lord Palmerston wil l have the 1 firmness and principle to use his own judgment, and de- terminately refuse his assent to any insidious and raja chiffons seniNcrinco of poce,-11 orntiv Achtraicr• -_---- Age ~~~~~ ~~~ ~,-S 474. a ~'~: L the and Esq.,
