Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of its salutary effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength ; a healthy action of the liver, bowels, and kidneys will rapidly take place; and renewed health will be the quick result of taking this medicine, according to the directions accompanying each box. For FEMALES these Pills are truly excellent, removing all ob structions, the distressing Headache so very prevalent with the sex, Depression of Spirits, Dulness of Sight, Nervous Affections, Blotches, Dim, les, and Sallowness of the :Ain, and give a healthy, juvenile Lloom to the complexion. Persons of a nil I I abit, who are subject to Headache, Giddiness, I) rowsiness, and Singing in the Ears, arising from too great a flow o' blood to the head, should never be without them, as many danger "' symptoms will be entirely carried off by their immediate use.

PliussrANcißcULAß. I• The following is the text of the circular despatch upon the affairs of Neuchatal addressed, towards the end of Sept. last, by the Prussian Government to its accredited agents at the German Courts You are alreaCly aware that, in the early part of this month, a movement took place in Neuchatel, under, the direction of the royalist chiefs, for the re-establishment of the rightful government. The success of this movement was of Short duration.' The republienn authorities Iwo• vered possession of their ascendancy, and a great num ber of royalists and their leaders were taken prisoners. Although the Government of the King must decline tho responsibility of these events, the heart of his Ma... jesty has not been the less sensibly affe&ed thereby.. The more his Majesty is enabled to appreciate the sentiments of devoted duty (mistaken though it be in the choice of means) which has incited the late movement of the roy wists at Neuchatel, the more imperative is the obliga tion owned by our gracious sovereign to protect before all things the victims of their fidelity from the conse quences of these events. - His Majesty the King cannot at all, in this view, re gard as sufficient the promise made by the Swiss authori ties, that the prisoners should be treated with humanity. Apart from the consideration that (looking at the latest intelligence which has reached us) the accomplishment of the promise is more than doubtful, his Majesty considered the setting at cemplete liberty of the prisoners as the only condition whose preliminary accomplishment will regulate the position of his Majesty with respect to the negotiations for the definitive settlement of the Neu chatel question. Per it is in this, preliminary that his Majesty will find a guarantee for the expectation held out to him that,from the negotiations upon the future situation of the principality of Neuchatel, will spring a more satisfactory result than has arisen therefrom up to this date. To prepare in this course for the discussion of the whole mattPr, his Majesty intends to make the recent events at Neuchatel the subject of a communication to the Germanic Confederation, attaching thereto the pro position that the Confederation shall not only adhere to the Prot tcol of London, of May 24, 1852, but shall fur ther insist, on its side, that the Helvetian Confederation shall set at liberty the royalist prisoners of Neuchatel, reserving itself for more serious measures against the Swiss Government according to the result of the latter's compliance with the requisitions addressed to it. His Majesty has a firm conviction that such a propo sition will probably receive the unanimous adoption o the Germanic Diet. It is a question of reclaiming an incontestable right, and placing the weight of Germany in the scale in favour of the authority of a German prince. None of the German Powers can wish to shrink from this undertaking. But we consider it important to obtain an assurance on this point, before appealing to the Diet, by a confidential understanding with the different German governments. This is the aim of the present circular, and in commu nicating it in a confidential manner you will express our desire to secure the adhesion of the Government of to toe proposition which, as I have already indicated, it is the intention of Prussia shortly to submit to the Ger manic Confederation. &c., MANrEUFFEL. 111URDER OF A BY ITS MOTHER e DOVER. On Sunday morning about seven o'clock information was given to the police that a dreadful murder had been committed by a young woman named Frances Wallace, the victim being her own illegitimate child, a little girl five y e ars o f age . The a:ceased - is described as an honest and industrious woman, who obtained her living as a laundress, aral the father of the child was the husband of the accused's sis ter. It is believed that the latter was not aware of the intimacy which had subsisted between her husband and her sister, and that the fear of the fact being divulged to her has operated in no small degree upon the mind of the unfortunate creature. It is rumoured that she has within the last few months formed an acquaint. ance with a young man named Bligh, a carpenter, with whom she was on very intimate terms. So fully did she confide in him, that she entrusted to him the secret of her dishonour, and at the same time disclosed to 'him the name of her child's father—a revelation which she declared had never before passed her lips. From some cause or other it appears that she has recently keen im pressed with the idea that B:igh intended to reveal the secret to her sister, who, with her husband, resides in London, and the dread of this exposure, it is supposed, has so weighed upon her spirits as to induce her to com mit the appalling crime of which she stands accused. She had had some conversation with Nigh on the Saturday night, as they were seen together ; the nature of it, however, is not known, although from her excla mations immediately after she had committed the mur. der it would seem that something in connection with the dreaded disclosure must have passed, and she was labouricg under the impression that Bligh bad gone to London yesterday by the Sunday excursion train for the purpose of telling the sister. Nothing, further is known as to the motive and very little as to the dread ful fact, beyond the discovery of the child's body, upon the mother herself raising an alarm, with the head nearly severed from the trunk. The woman was seen the same morning at five o'clock by a lodger, into whose room she entered for the purpose of making some friendly inquiry ; and nothing of an extraordinary nature was then noticed in her manner or appearance. From that time until shortly after seven she was not sqen by any one ; but at the l a tt er h our th e neighbourhood was alarmed by her screams. She had ran out of the house, and upon some of the neighbours coming towards her they dis covered that her hands were covered with blood. Upon being asked what was the matter she .cried out that she had murdered her child, and that it was lying in the house upon the fhor. The neighbours, on entering the front room of the house occupied by Wallace, found the child in a pool of blood with its throat so dreadfully cut as literally to leave its head only just hanging to the body. A case-knife covered with blood was lying close by, and the body was still warm. The nearest surgeon, Mr. J. G. Ottaway, was quickly in attendance, but of course he was unable to render any assistance, as a wound not a quarter so extensive would have been suffi cient to deprive the poor little thing of life. The child was in her night clothes only, and appeared as though she had le!t her bed hilt a short time. The unhappy woman, as soon as she was in the hands of the police, admitted her guilt, but assigned no reason for the crime. From the first moment of her being taken into custody, however, she has appeared to be in the greatest mental distress, and her ejaculations have been expressive of affection for the murdered child and abhor rence of her own guilt. But she has made no statement as to her intimacy with Bligh, or to what has ever passed between them with reference to the child. It is said that, previous to this dreadful occurrence, she always manifested the liveliest regard fur her little one. It has been assumed that she contemplated committing suicide after destroying the child, and that when- she bad executed the first portion of her plan her nerve failed her ; but nothing has transpired to justify such a supposition. The prisoner belongs to Dover, where she is well known. Yesterday she was examined before the magis trates, and fully committed for trial. RARRISON, THE LEEDS WIZARD. Yesterday Henry Harrison was again brought up at the Leeds Court-house, charged with committing a rape upon Eliza Croft, and with obtaining honey from her under false pretences. "The idea of removing one of its 'commissioners on the_ground that his services are required in the C our t of EXchequer is the merest moonshine ; but even if there were a pressure of business in that court much bet ter woti'd it be to 'appoint another Boron and to leave. the liiiiannbered Ohurt inttiet.

DUBLIN CUSTOMS' DUTIES. An abstract of duties received at the port of Dublin for the year ending the 30th of September shows that not only has an increase taken place in every item of the Customs' revenue as compared with the preceding year, but that a falling off which took place in wine and miscellaneous articles in 1855 has been more than recovered. The total increase on the year is 80,3841., and on the two years 117,1551. Between the years 1853 and 1854 a decrease of 73,000/. occurred, principally owing to the reduction in the itea duties, the amount r. , ,- ceived from th a t art i c l e having sunk from 373,0001. to 320,0001. It has now, in consequence of the imposition of the war duty, reverted to as nearly as pc.ssible the original amount. In the sum re ceived on sugar there has been a large increase. We suljoin the total amounts received for the years ending the 10th of October, 1853, and the 30th of September, 1856: 1853. 1856.

From 1844 to 1846 the duties exceeded 1,000,0001. annually. To utmost excite►nent prevailed in the precincts of the poliCe-office, and the court was densely crowded from 10 o'clock until half--past 4. • On Croft being recalled she stated that the cffence was. committed between 6 and 7 on Friday night, the 17th inst., and repeated the statement st.7eral times, saying twit she was never at Harrisou's Louse i n the Claytaute, and that at the time the 'offence Was committed it was dark, and that a candle was burning in the room. Evidence was , called which proved that Harrison was from home from 1 o'clock till 11 at night ou that day, and that the girl was in Harrison's room between,ll and 12 in the morning, after which• Croft said the offence was committed in the morning. A niece of Harrison's proved that Croft called bet Ween 11 and 12 in the morning, and that she and Harrison e upstairs for about 10 minutes, that white they were up stairs no anise or alarm was made, but that after Croft had gone she isms something which excited her Suspicion. She then drew the attention of Harrison's housekeeper to it, who, it appeared, upbraided Harrison about it. At the Bo se o f the examination Mr. Ferns, on beha l f of the p r i soner, asked the bench if, after what tkey had t heard, they thought there was any case ?

For some weeks previous to the setting in the monsoon by means of the railway 60,000 gallons of water a day were introduced into the town of Bombay and its immediate neighbourhood, to the great relief of 200,000 of the poorer claases of the population. The railway carried the water at a very low rate of they received during those eight weeks 10,000 rupees. P n the r working expenses was very satisfactory, a year and a half having reduced them from 8G to 41 per cent. From a statement which they had already received, they were enabled to calculate to a certain degree what would be the return for the next half-year, and he was justified in stating that, although no additional line had been opened beyond the 88 miles, the profits would exceed those of p a n y neD'ti th rywe n aa ßaph st e ßs k l a e ai i ad d e esa l i l d de kl o r d, wen r ta dh in eai the present halt-year as much as the latter exceeded those of the preceding one.

It appeared that the deceased had been employed with another plumber in repairs upon the ropf, and as he was about to get from the parapet to the ladder a clerk cried ont from one of the windows, "Hallos, about that bottle !" alluding to a hial of toothache mixture which had been placed outsiae the.windovv on account of its smell, and which dedd-ed had been seen-to put in his pocket, thinking at the time, no doubt, that it had been thrown aside there as useless.

He was picked up insensible, but out dead, aid was taken to King's Cotlege Hospital, where Le was attended to by Mr. Goodall, the house surgeon, but the injuries he received were of so frightful a character that ho died a few minutes after he was ad mitted.

WARREN, M.P., RECORDER. Gentlemen of the Grand Jury—The Summary Jurisdic tion Act continues to keep down our calendar, and, at the present sessions, it numbers only 25 or 26 ; but that is, not withstanding the Stipendiary Magistrate has, since the last sessions, disposed of 40. But for the Act to which I have alluded, however, we might had now to deal with a calendar of at least 60 cases. Twenty-eight, however, is a larger number than I had hoped, at the last sessions, to have to deal with ; but on looking over the depositions I find that our labours are likely to be light enough, from the nature of the cases, to admit of my addressing some ob servation to you, which I hope may be found practically useful, especially at this time of the year, which is a period of leisure to thoughtful men ; for I intend to point out, briefly, such of the more important changes in thelaw, effected during the last Session of Parliament, as boar di rectly on an important maritime and mercantile commu- L nity like that of Hnll. I commend with confidence to the attention of yourselves who may hear me, and all who may read what I am about to say, for it comes home directly to your own businesses and beet:ug. Ig norance, or defiance of the law, it is that gives oc cupation to courts of criminal justice. Gentlemen, you are familiar with the saying that every one is presumed to know the law ; but let no one run away with the notion that this is literally so. All that is meant by this great ' and often-repeated fundamental maxim of jurisprudence is, that no man's ignorance of the law under which he lives shall excuse or exonerate him from criminal or civil liabi lities. Were it otherwise, no one could tell how far such an excuse might be carried, and it would paralyse the whole administration of the laws. Gentlemen, energetic attempts. are being at this moment made to reduce the bulk, and simplify the structure, of our statute lavr. In this direction I devoutly hope iat not more haste than ' good speed will be seen ; otherwise we shall rue the result for many a long day. Something has been actually effected during the last session, by statute 19 and 20 Vie., c. 64, passed solely to expunge from the statute book 118 sleep ing statutes, that is, within two of the entire number of public - statutes' passed during the last session. The law of Joint Stock Companies it has been endeavoured to con solidate and amend, by an act which I hope will be found to stand wear and tear—stat. 19 and 20 Vic., c. 47—the Police of Counties and Boroughs has bean the subject of an act of extensive and important operation, the 19 and 20 Vic., c. 69; the jurisdiction of the county courts has been extended, and in some respects remodelled, by the 19 and 20 Vic., c. 108; the powers of the Church Building Com missioners have beeiet transferred to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners ; the law of advowsons amended, by en abling parishioners and others, forming a numerous class, to sell advowsons held in trust, and applying the proceeds in providing parsonag e houses, augmenting small liv jugs, and for other bneficial purposes; and better pro visions have been made for the spiritual care of populous parishes, and forming separate parishes, by three acts— chapters 50, 55, 104 ; the laws of Marriage, in England and Scotland, have been amended by the acts 19 and 20 Viet., c. 96 and 118; the Administration of Intestates' Estates has been rendered uniform by Stat. 19 and 20 Vict., c. 94; the good government and extension of the University of Cambridge, sought by Stat. 19 and 20 Vict., c 88; the Coast Guard Service and the Manning of the Navy stand on a more secure footing by Stat. 19 and 20 Viet., c. 88 ; the Customs' laws are amended by c. 75 ; a Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education is appointed by chapter 116; the Electoral Law of Scotland, elaborately amended by c. 58, and several other highly important and valuable statutes have been passed with reference to Scot land and Ireland ; the Factories Acts have been amended by chap. 38, and those relating to the duty on Fire Insur ance by ch. 22 ; that relating to Pawnbrokers, by chap. 270. By chapter 113 valuable facilities are afforded for taking evidence in relation to civil and commercial mat ters, pending befcre foreig n tribunals, to come into opera tion as soon as the judges have framed rules and orders for carrying it into effect ; while chapter 54, as I pointed out last session, effects a great improvement in the method of discharging your office as Grand Jurymen, at once imposing on you a responsible duty, and relieving us from needless interruption in the discharge of ours. By Stat. 19 and 20 Vict., c. 120, an admirable alteration has been effected in the law relating to Settled Estates—one equally bold and beneficial ; giving the Courts of Equity ample power to deal with a difficulty which has hitherto required the circuitous; clumsy, and costly interference of the Legis lature, in private family settlements. This statute comes into operation on the let November—and I confidently an ticipate that it will effect great good, by relaxing the stringency of settlements of property made with the best intention, and on the best advice, but which subsequent events, impossible to have been foreseen, have rendered worse than useless—mischievous and oppressive to those intended to have been benefited by them. It appears to me to overstate the benefits conferred by this act, if it be carried out by the Courts of Equity carefullyand discreetly. Let me now glance at three short statutes, effecting salu tary and extensive changes in that department of the law more directly concerning such a community as Hull. First of all, I warmly congratulate the sailors, and all interested in the welfare or theta or their families on the passing of stat.l9 and 20 Vic., c. 41, which affords great inducements to economy, and facilities for securing to sailors their hard earnings, by establishing a central savings bank for seamen in London, and branch banks at all our principal seaports, at any of which sailors may instantly deposit their wages with complete safety, withdraw the whole or any portion at any port they please, receive interest on their deposits, and in the event of death both principal and interest will be handed over at once to their families. The wives, widows, and children of seamen are also liberally allowed to open accounts on the same terms; and sailors may deposit money for their children, which those children, if above 14 years old, may draw out as and when they require it. Is not this better than spending the money hardly earned in a voyage round the globe, in a first day or night's profli gacy ashore ? Is there a sessions here at which we have not the sad duty of dealing with such cases, and seeing the poor foolish sailor driven back, ashamed of himself, and a beggar again to the wide ocean, leaving often his wife and family beggared and broken-hearted? Let him now, how ever, only make the Board of Trade his bankers, instead of scattering his earnings among crimps and thieves, and in brothels, and beer and gin shops, and he may take ship again, lig ht-hearted, and with a smile, reflecting God's approval, while he dashes a tear from his eye at parting with a happy and affectionate family. The Legislature has done its duty, and let our gallant seaman do his, and let you and me, gentlemen, be spared the pain of seeing him stand either here, or there—beside me here, or before me there—in the witness box, or at the bar—as prosecutor or as prisoner, publicly telling, when sobered and ashamed, the wretched story of hie folly and guilt ! Gentlemen, by another act, chapter 26, a banker's chock, bearing across its face, in written or stamped letters, the name of a banker, or the words "and Company," either in full, or abbreviated, i s now payable only to, or through, some banker; which the Statute truly recites will conduce to the ease of commerce, the security of property, and the prevention of crime. Another act is chapter 97 • and I recom mend the careful study of it , not only to the pro fessional lawyers of Hull, but to all engaged in trade and commerce, for it effects groat changes in mer cantile law. First of all, it makes it no longer necessary that a written guarantee should state the consideration on which it was given, and which may now be proved by word of mouth. Again, a guarantee given to, or for, a firm, ceases to be binding after a change in any ono or more of its members, unless the contrary be the expressed or necessarily implied intentions of the parties ; and every surety paying his principal debt is entitled to the immedi ate and fullest advantages of all securities then held by the creditor, in whose place the surety is thenceforth to stand. Again- a i o s r n F o o w re n ig e n ce ; ss a a n ry d writtenin all bills o f a Exchange,ccepta whether n bills and notes drawn in any p art of the United Kingdom, or the Channel Islands , an d islands adjacent within the ce on the Inland Bil l Queen's dominions, and paya ble there, arehenceforth to be deemed inland bills, but without affectin g the Stamp duties. And as to the rights a nd remedies of those who have done repairs to ships, or furnished supplies for them, every port in the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, or other adjacent islands within the Queen's domns, is to be deemed a Home Port. Important improve ments, also, are effected in the St atutes of Limitations, and Others relate to the law of debtor and creditor, principal and agent, and co-contractors, and co-debtors, whether liable jointly only, or jointly and severally. Another valuable section protects persons bona fide, and for a valuable consideration acqui rin g a title to goods, against writs of execution against the seller, provided the buyer had no notice that any writ was in the hands of the Sheriff, unexecuted. Finally, singularly stringent provi sions are made by this act, to enforce the specific delivery of geode contracted to have been delivered, for a price in money. A jury will have henceforth to say, (under the di rection of a judge) what are the goods remaining unde livered, and what the plaintiff would have had to pay if they had been delivered according to contract ; as well as what damages he would have been entitled to receive, if the goods should, or should not, be afterwards delivered in conformity with the act : which provides that the judge risay order mention to issue for the goods, on payment of the sum due, without giving the defendant the option of retaining them, as p a y me nt of: the damages ; and, if the goods cannot be found, then all the lands and chattels of the defendant within the jurisdiction of the sheriff are to be distrained till the delivery of the goods ; or, if the plaintiff prefer it, the sheriff must realise the assessed value or damages, out of the defendant's goods. Gentle men, even as far as I have gone, and assuring you that I have necessarily omitted from my view, perhaps 80 or 90 out of 120 acts of the last session,—l think, we shall be entitled to say, looking solely at the record of the statute book, to which I strictly confine myself here,—that Par liamentt excessive,bee ufairdle more anxiously during nx i t o h u e sl l y a se s sion;stthaii deficient, legislative speaking t e h assol'eloY l l eg n i a s v la e t j i n ve st a n c e ti o o o n la i y n iomg as an administrator of the law, I whseetrh.veerstohnelyywtiouplunatblteeftrreo:sl:heoeyfpou,7lc.hln.emoangsniditulii:adteeasthose legisla tion my catalogue of the labours of Pail:a c e ' e 'u n d t session.

Gentlemen, I wish to la y before you and the public, practicably, the exact position of the new system ; and entreat your particular attention to it. For this purpose I have taken pains t o i v very few words, th e substantial result of the g e you, in throe statutes to which I have referred—the 17th and 18th Vic. c the 18 and 19 Vi c . c. 109, and the 19 and 20 Vic.a'll On application by the managers of any reformato r y insti tution, the Home S ecre t a ry may direct one o f the pri s on i tzepectoTv to exami ne a nd report on its constitutionand regulations; and, if satisfied on this subject, may certify its usefulness and efficiency—and niay afterwards, also, if Deed be at any time, 'withdraw such certificate. Any ju venile under 16 years of age, and sentenced to at least 14 days' imprisonment, may, in addition to that sentence, - be directed by the Court, to be sent, at the expiration of it, o any such certified'RefortnatOry School as may be wil ling to receive him, and as the court may, before the ex piration of that sentence, direct, and by supplement or der, the Churn may sithstitute any other such school. If, however,.the parent, guardian, or nearest ,relation of the youthful offender, within 14 days, duly object to that particular school, and name a nether, the directors ofeivhich aro willing to receive him, and pay or give security for the additional expedse of removal, then he may be sent to sneh other: school. The governor of the gaol must forward with the prismeer a duplleate or copy of the CJlLlMitweut, with a memorandum ddentifying him. The Home Secretary may remove him from one school to angther, and at any time order him to be discharged. The Treasury, on the Home Secretary's representation, may defray, out of the funds provided by Parliaanent for that purpose, the whole cost of the care and maintenance of the cainder, or such portion as shall not have been recovered from the parents ; who (including step-parents), are liable, if of oufficient ability, to contribute such sane, not exceeding ss. a-week, as any, two justioes, on complaint of the Home Secretary, may older, enforced by distress, or imprisonment not ex ceeding 10 days. The Home Secretary, however, may from time to time remit all or any portion of such weakly con tributions. Here I may say that the Government has re cently and liberally raised its allowance from ss. to 7s. a week, for every such juvenile offender. Finally, if he ab scond from school, or disobey its rules, he may be commit ted by a justice to prison, for not longer than 3 months ; and any person withdrawing or persuading him to abscond is liable to a penalty of 51. Such, gentlemen, is the system which benevolent and, jUdicious men have devised and at length brought into action in many parts Of the kingdom,. and I hope that every, portion of it wilt shortly be studded with them. Foe my pad, I would sooner see and reforma tory, making its sternly simple appearanceothan the most gorgeous and magnificent edifice - that oottld.b, ponstructed by the skill- of man e -for the purpose of misn'ilglorification -of material display, or commemorating the proudest achievements of even genius or valour, Let us take heart of grace, gentlemen; depend upon it, w9are on the right tack at last ; our principle is sound, and its results are as certain as blessed. I cannot better indicate that principle and those results than in well-considered language used at a Reformatory meeting in a southern county. The Refor matory system aims at saving the outcast, whose ignorance and necessities have led him into crime, by making his maintenance and education go hand in hand. It makes the parent pay the penalty of his negligence or profligacy, by compelling him to contribute to the cot of his child's re formation. It unites Government inspection and national aid, with private offort and individual philanthropy ' • and appeals to humanity, as well as to Christian bene volence and sympathy. Ido not here advert to the grave question whether the establishment of these institutions be not of imperative obligation on the State ; as to which I own I entertain a very strong opinion. I am thankful that the State has stepped so far as it has in the right direction, and feel it a duty to meet and accompany her. Gentlemen, I ap peal to the noblest syinpathies,of your nature, and conjure aeslytohue rays of perceive heavenly approbation which they reflect upon y ou . Gi ve you to give your personal assistance to this ever memor able movement. Lose not a day in linking yoursel w ith it ; nor be uneasy if at first these links be few and s li g ht . Th ey strength,inn b u e m in t g rer eff anj te,i,aidfeel the wil l results increase which arc your social influence, give the eloquence of your voice; give of the substance with which a gracious, but watchful and j ust God has ,given you. Providence has not enabled me individually to give such pecuniary assistance as I would, but what I could do I did, readily, with delight, and a hope that God's blessing might go with it, as with the mite which the widow east into the treasucy. I implore you, from this seat of solemn judicial authority. I implore the inhabi tentsof this powerful section of the community, who are rising more and more into the notice of the country, casting aside all misgivings, and shaking off vacillation, to come forward with wise and timely liberality. From the highest to the lowest among you, add to whatever else you do in the way of charity, the support of these incalculably important and richly repaying institutions. I leave to others to deal with the startling statistics of crime ; it is enough for me to say, that I see the mass of preventible crime, hanging like a mill-stone round the neck of the nation. Oh that one could loosen it, that oar eyes could . be gladdened by see ing it at length being detached! It is a work which ought to commend itself to your religions convictions, and to re ceive the warm support of our religious teachers, of every denomination—Protestant and Roman Catholic, Church men and Dissenters—all of whom acknowledge and publicly profess themselves the servants and ministers of Mm, th e Saviour of mankind, who declared himself the Son of Man, come to seek and to save that which was lost. That is their sublime mission, and let them take heed that they fulfil it. Genllemen, am I not as one of the dispensers of criminal justice entitled thus to speak to you? Nay, I feel myself constrained to do so, for you all know that I speak with the weight of sorrowful experience in this seat; and in doing so I but echo the sentiments of the wisest and best men of ago, of all ranks, calliugs, and parties, ut tered ou every available occasion, with increasing energy, and with justly increasing hopefulness. I rejoice to find that your reformatory is now in action, and that the great desideratum, is good master has been obtained, whose heart is in his work. Ho is a clergyman, and what did he say the other day atYork, in giving his interesting account of their doings ? After alluding to the differancedu character among the boys, requiring a judicious variation of treatment, he observed, " but there is one feature common to them all— they aro all estranged from God." Ah, there we sec the root of the whole matter—the source- of the evil; and what is clearer than the remedy—early religious education ? On this subject my convictions are so profound that it requires a strong effort to restrain my expressions of them—my reite rated, my solemn, my affectionate expression of them. B u t I do restrain myself,and conclude by rissur ing you that when far away from you, since the last sessions, my heart exulted at seeing the noble effort made by the working classes of one important district here to contribute to the establish. went of schools. God send them—God send all such efforts —prosperity. Every boy, every girl, guided in that direc tion, is one diverted from the dreary path which leads to yonder Bar—to the prison, to the hulks, to the gallows, to Hell. Gentlemen, since my arrival here last night, I have road with deep interest the annual report of the worthy chaplain of the gaol, to my brother magistrates and myself, which I hope they will lose no time in directing to be laid before you, and which I entreat all of you, and of your fel low townsmen, to read with attention. There you will see Protestant and Roman Catholic in harmoeious action, en deevouring to reclaim the wandering sheep of their respec tive folds ; and I envy not the feelings of him who can read, unmoved, what is said upon the subject by our Pro testant chaplain. With one small passage of his Report, I close this charge to you, for I agree with every word of it, and believe it springs from an equally discreet and devoted religious heart. "The more these Reformatory institutions become known throughout the country, the more eagerly they will be supported by all who desire to see our idle and criminal youthful population changed into honest and industrious young men and women.. And it is a greater act of hu manity, it shows more Christian feeling, it is wiser and more economical to do that which, by God's blessing, will prevent the viciously inclined boy or girl from becoming a hardened criminal, than to punish them when they have become such." That, gentlemen, is the plain utterance of a minister of Christ's Holy Gospel, in the discharge of his most solemn duty; I humbly, affectionately, reverently echo it, in my capacity of a minister of justice ; and leave it to sink deep into your hearts, and bear fruit a hundred fold. THE FATAL ACCIDENT AT BI YN MALLY MI NE. WREXIIAM, OCT. 25. The bodies of three men and a boy have at length been recovered, The water, speaking generally, was got out on Thursday, and on the afternoon of that day a descent was made into the pit, under the superinteddence of fialdcroft, the intelligent overseer of the workings. The same difficulty had to be encountered which at an earlier period rendered an attempt to search impossible, but unremitting efforts to disperse the choke damp so far succeeded that the party were able to get to the middle levels, in which it was known these four persons were working at the time of the accidcat. Tue body of Ishmael Griffiths was brought to the surface at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, and the bodies of Edward Cumah, Stephen Davie, and the boy, Samuel Parry, were brought up this morning. These individuals posi tively threw away their lives. They were warned of the ' water having burst into the mine, but, perhaps believing that it was only a repetition of one of those many in stances in which, the water having risen from natural causes to an unusual height, the men were called up. They continued their occupation s ome few minutes, and safetythr was comparati ve ly three and five feet of when they reached the place of outlet foun d themselves cut off from those means of esca p e which numbers of their comrades happily obtai ned. The b arrier which interposedw trifling—somewheret er; a n d b , e n t between e Griffiths' en t h e i ,m e t v ;a body between n had ben i n water, i t may be reasonably inferred that he attempted to pass through it. The other three bodies w. r. 3. found at the edge of the mark where the water bad a tamed its high est level, - but, being dry, it is assumed that they were quickly overpowered by the fatal "damp." All of them were recognisable at first ; but so ra p id i s the decompo sition consequent on expos ure to the at mosphere that they can hardly be said to be so at the present moment. The inundation washed into the deep level a mass of rubbish, either from the old mine or from unused work ings of the Bryn-Malty Mine, which must be cleared out before the other 9 bodies c an be recovered, and this ope ration, which has bees proceed in g si nce Thursday, may the bereaved of the survivors rvsiivmoprs cherish the thought that they will rec over their relatives alive, al le people that even occupy three or four days lo n g er. So strong is the in flu:neruio‘ovf hope in o f the th though all the others had far less chanoe of life than these four whose bodies have been brought up, because of the 4reatt'r amount of choke damp known to prevail in the jeealltiee Where they were working. Some idea of the magnitude of the damage caused by the accident may be gash red from the fact that the deep levels will not be in a state to allow of coal being raised from them until long aft, r Christmas. An influential meeting of the clergy and principal in habitants was held at the Town-hall yesterday, tile vicar (Rev. G. Cunlifle) in the chair, when a hooks-to-house collection on behalf of the sufferers was resolved upon. It was stated that the amount already contributed ex ceeded 8001. Mr. AndreW, the chairman of the European and In dian Junction Telegraph Company, with Mr. Brett, Mr. O'Shaughnessy, and Mr. Pinceger, had an interview on Saturday with Mr. Wilson, at the T.eAsury, regarding the establishment ofttelegraphic communication between Europe and India, via Setenni% the Euphrates, and the Persian Gulf. The valuable co t.peraton of Mr. O'Shaughnessy with Mr. Andrew augurs well for the einem of this important undertaking. COMMUNICATION WITH AUSTRALIA. TilE AUSTRALIAN AUXILIARY STEAM CLIPPER COMPANY. , Ths directors of this company, incorporated under the Joint Stock Companies Act (1856), for the purpose of facilitating communication between this country and Australia, by mean 3 of clipper ships furnished with the screw -propeller, to be. used when necessary, invited yes terday a party of the shareholders and a number of gen tlemen conuc:•ed with the colonial trade, to inspect their splendid vessel, the Istanboul, now lying in the Victoria Dock. The Istanbotil is a clipper ship of 1,470 tons register, and upwards of 2,000 tons burden. She was built by Pyle, of Sunderiand, and is considered to be a master piece' of naval architecture. The engines, constructed on the best principles, are of 100 horse poser, and her propelling agent is the screw. She is 230 feet long by 36 feet 6 inehrs beans, with 23 feet depth of hold. The Istamboul is the first ship purchased by the company, but she is to be followed by two other vessels of 1,100 andel,4oo tons, and.is under orders to Fail from London on the 10th of November, and from Paymouth on the 15th. , She has cabin accommodation for a large num ber of passengers, and, including her ship's company, will carry about 400 persons. It' is confi antici pated that sbe will make the outwardiourney in 60 days, and accomplish the return voyage in about 60 or 70. She Is in all respects a noble vessel, and the' company look'forward to her realising the most sanguine expec tations that have been formed of her sailing capabilities. She has already taken in nearly the whole 'of her freight, and almost taller cabins are engaged by passen gers proceeding to the colony. The vessel was gaily decorated yesterday, and pre sents' a very pretty appearance: , The ships ,in the Victoria Decks displayed all their bunting to-do honour to tOe occasion, arda, military band was stationed on the quarter deck. Shortly before three o'clock the. Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of London, accompanied by the Lord Mayor Elect, the sheriffs, and a number of gentlemen connected with some of the leading firms in the Australian trade, were shown over the vessel by the directors and Mr. J. E. Cole, the commandant. His lordship expressed him self much pleased with the appearance of the vessel, and the arrangements made for the safety and comfort of the passengers._ • A very elegant dejeuner was afterwards served in the steerage, where covets were laid for 300 pfrons. The saloon, if such it could be called, was ornamented with flags, coloured lamps; and flowers, and presented a pic turesque and novel appearance. The chair was taken by the Lord Mayor, who was supported by Sir S. M. Peto, Bart., Mr. Gooch, Mr. Sheriff Mechi, !Ir. Sheriff Keats, Mr. ex-She'riff Rose, Mr. W. Lindsay, M.P., Sir Joseph Paxton, and other gentlemen largely connected with the shipping in terest. After the cloth was removed, The LORD MAYOR, iu proposing "The health of her Majesty," observed that he felt grateful to the directors of the company for having afforded hirn an opportunity of inspecting the magnificent vessel in which they were now assembled. She was indeed a noble ship, in a noble dock, and was a proud tribute to the enterprise and in domitable perseverance of the Anglo-Saxon race. (Ap plause.) In giving the health of the Queen, he might say that so long as such vessels were seen in the merchant service, so long would the royal navy be the most powerful in the world, arid so long might it he said of the Sovereign of Great Britain that she was the Sove reign of the Seas. " Tao health of Prince Albert and the rest of the Royal Family" having been given and responded to, The CHAIRUAN, in proposing "The Army and Navy," observed that we had been lately engaged in au obsti nate and sanguinary - war, and that the result was suffi cient to justify us in congratulating ourselves upon the prowess of our army and navy. The mercantiee navy was the nursery from which our men-of-war's-men were drawn, and it was, therefore, of the last importance that the mercantile service should not degenerate. He was glad to see such vessels as the Istauboul fitted out by private enterprise, for he was assured that whether in peace or i❑ war they were most important agents in the progress of national greatness. Captain LANE, R.N., returned thanks on behalf of the navy, and said that having had an opportunity of ex amining the ship on which they were then assembled, he could vouch for her construction, and could affirm that she was one of the finest vessels iu which he had ever set his foot. (Hear, hear.) He believed she would perform swift and certain voyages, and give satisfaction to all who were connected with her. The LORD MAYOR next gave "Prosperity to the Ails tralian Auxiliary Steam Clipper Company," and observed that the cccasion on which they were met was tine of more than ordinary interest. Nothing could be more astonishing than the sudden rise of the Australian trade, in •which the Istanboul was to be engaged. Australia was only known efew-years ago as a place to which Wiese who bad forfeited their liberty to the laws of their country were transported- The persons chiefly selected to colonise the country were men of great enterprise, talents and energies had been exerted in a wrong direc tion, but in course of time they formed the nucleus of a great colony which was destined to exercise an extra• ordinary influence upon the trade and commerce of the mother country. Tne recent discoveries of gold in the colony had given a wonderful impetus to trade, and bad caused a cry for quick communication. Several corn panics had been established to accomplish that desidera tum, and during his year of office he had been called upon to preside over the most important meeting that had ever been held in the City of London on the subject. of transatlantic communication. It was strange to reflect that gold, which could supply so many wants, and administer to so many of man's luxuries, had hitherto been impotent to promotes rapid postal commu nication with Australia. Great steam ships were built for the purpo se , b u t w h en th e war b ro k e out the Govern ment claimed them all, and they were employed in the transport of men and stores to the Crimea. The result was that the postal service was neglected, and the traders of London, Liverpool, and the other large towns of the empire ivere suffering the utmost inconvenience from the want of remittances from Australia. It seemed. to him that the project about to be carried out by the Australian Auxiliary Steam Clipper Company would do much to facilitate communication between the two coun tries, as the vessels proposed to be employed would lie enabled to avail themselves of the two great motive powers, wind and steam, as occasion offered, without incurring the enormous expenditure of fuel necessary for vessels which depended upon steam alone. In his opi nion the man who entered into such a speculation de served the. thanks of the public. It might be said that they were influenced by a desire to promote their own ulterior objects; but the same might be said of every noble action ; and he, for one, considered it was a duty to stimulate such persons by kind words aad public countenance, and therefore it was that be was present that day. (Hear, hear.) He was sure that it was the wish of all present that the company should succeed in the great work it had undertaken ; and as he believed su c h men r o ust be good subject s an good citizens, he had great pleasure in proposing prosperity to the company. (Applause.) Mr. Gooey returned thanks on behalf of the company, and observed that the great public importance, of estab lishing quick communication between Australia and the mother country, and the stress that had been laid upon the subject by the press, had induced the company to in quire what exertions had already been made to supply the deficiency. They then found that clipper sailing-seips were the best nude of communication, and that some ex traordinary pas ages had been made by that description of vessel. They w Re, however, subject to some difficulties which they could not overcome—such as calms in certain latitudes, and the prevalence of head winds in others. This led to the ice of full steam vessels, but these required that a large portion of their space should be devoted to the engines and fuel. The consequence was a very small space for profitable cargo. The expense also was so great that the disbursements exceeded the receipts for passen gers and freight.. The undertaking, in fact, failed, and there were now two other projects before the public— the monster vessel of Mr. Brunel, which had yet to be tried, and the introduction of a small auxiliary steam power into the original sailing clipper. (Hear.) The company held that economy in the first cost, and subse quently in fuel and management, were all-important. He had made a comparison of the cost of a full power steamer, and be found that two clipper screw ships of the size in which they were then assembled could be con structed for something less than the cost of one large steamer on the former plan., The result of the compari son was immensely in favour of the two ships, as would be seen from the following statement :—The cost of one. large ship was 65,0001.—0 f tstfo ships (such as the Istan boul) 62,0001; the horse 7 power of the large ship was 450—0 f the two ships 160; the registered tonnage of the large ship was 1,900 tons—of the two ships 2.861 ; the cargo carried by the large ship was 450 tuns—that by the tsio ships 2,800; the coal carried by the large ship was 1,950 tons—that by the two .ships 300 ; the cost of the coal in the large ship was, at 2/. per ton, 3,9ool.—that of the two ships, 6001. ; the cargo of the large ship, at 31. per ton, would produce 1,3501. ; that of the two ships, 8,400/. The sailing expensee, he cal culated, would be about the same, and also the income derivable from passengers. The comparison, however, would show a saving in favour of the two ships of 7,0501. on freight, and of 3,3001. on coals, making a total in one passage of 10,3501., or 41,4001. upon two passages. (Hear.) These were the figures upon which the company had formed their estimates, and they believed that they had hit upon the right principle on which to vim-4. They expected to mako the passage from shore to slime with ex pedition and reasonable certainty, and these o essidera tions, they believed, would insure full cargoes and full passengers. (Ilear.) The Istanboul had only been in the Victoria Deck a fortnight, and she was full to within a few tons of her cargo. Applidations were also daily made for passages, and he had no doubt that by the 10th of November she would be a full ship. (Bear.) Mr. peewee ; in a highly complimentary speech, pro posed " The health of the Lord Mayor," and stated his belief that the right hon. 'gentleman had connected him self with a company which had started on a right prin ciple, and which would, in cour e of time, prove one of the greate-t navigation companies in the empire. (Hear.) The company 'was, metaphorically speaking, stansing on the shoulders of those which had ' , receded them. They
