OCIETY for the RELIEF of DISTRESS.--This Society derives its origin from the following cause : That, notwithstanding the operation of the poor law and the numerous existing charitable associations, human beings, although within a stone's throw of the plenty, luxury, and refinement of this wealthy metropolis, die miserably of hunger and the want of the common neces saries of life. To prevent as far as possible the recurrence of an evil so disgraceful to our social system, it is proposed in the fist instance to establish a co-operative system of visiting the poor, by aiding and increasing the power of existing local Institutions which have this object in view. To bring to the notice of parochial authorities such cases as legitimately lelong to them alone, to aid the police and the Mendicity Society, to detect imposture, and to bring to the care of hospitals, refuges, penitentiaries, and existing charitable associations those cases for which their several institutions were established. Special and urgent cases of distress indicated by the clergy —ministers of all denominations, medical profession, or agents of any existing Society, will be relieved as far as possible by the judicious application of funds entrusted to district committees and local responsible persons appointed by them for the purpose. No cases will be relieved by money or otherwise at the central office. The promoters of this movement now come forward, not in any spirit of opposition to existing societies, but, on the contrary, with the strong desire to co-operate with and assist them in the arduous task in which they, with such praise worthy zeal and perseverance, have been so many years laboriously engaged. They now claim to be met in the spirit in which they advance, with the sole purpose of furthering, by friendly intercourse, the great Christian object which all charitable associations have in view. The following noblemen and gentlemen having combined to form a Guarantee Committee, by whom the entire ex penses of management are to be defrayed, the Society now call upon the public to entrust it with the requisite funds, which shall be applied, without the smallest deduction, to the relief of genuine distress.

THE GREAT SOCIAL MYSTERY.—The recent change in the law of Separation and Divorce has raised up a new problem which taxes the ingenuity of social philosophers to solve. In a nation so renowned as this for the sanctity of its domestic ties, it appears unaccountable that AO many marriages, contracted under circumstances apparently auspicious, should result In sorrow, disgust, and degradation, and that this should occur even to those who before wedlock had passionately loved each other. If the inquirers into the cause of this mystery had consulted the great book of nature, instead of dwelling on conventional theories, they might probably have had less difficulty in arriving at the truth. Have they ever sufficiently considered how much these constant revelations of unhappy marriages maybe connected with a peculiar INFLUENCE , frequently originating in corrupt associations at college, or at school, and the pernicious effects of which, too often unsuspected by medical men. poison the very well-springs of life, and produce many of the disappointments witnessed in the connubial state. It is a matter that deeply concerns the well-being of thou sands who have no idea cf the danger that threatens them. Every person of intelligence should ask himself whether there be not something in his past life which admits of the possi bility that he himself may be concerned, either at present or prospectively, in the subject. Science and experience, founded on professional study, have happily discovered effectual means of relief ; but it is important that care be taken in selecting tt i ... t uarStiqrm whence assistance's sought.

The suggestion met with great favour, and a resolution was unani mously adopted in furtherance of the project. On Friday the 7th company of Isle of Wight Volunteers, consisting of detachments from Cowes and Osborne, assembled at the Prince of Wales Inn East Cowes Park, and marched from thence (headed by their band) to Newport, where they were enter. tained by their commanding officer, Capt. Graham. It was the fist time the whole company mustered in their fatigue dress, dark green (serge) blouse, and cap of the same, no peak. Notwithstanding the bad weather not 20 out of nearly 100 effectives were absent. " The Danish Government is convinced that it would be a useless attempt, under existing circum stances, and with the irritation now prevalent in Holstein, to aim at establishing, once for all and definitively, the constitutional position that Duchy is to assume in the Monarchy ; and that, conse quently, it is necessary to prepare the way by a temporary arrangement for a definitive one, which will gain time to allow of reflection and of over tures to the two Powers directly interested—the Provincial States of Holstein and the Danish Go vernment. _ "Forthis purpose the Danish Government is ready to adopt the following modifications in the actually existing state of things : " The consultative vote conferred on the States of Holstein by paragraph 2 of the Royal Patent of the 23d of September, 1859, shall be changed into a deliberative vote, so that no law, whether corn cerning individuals or property, shall be put into force in%Holstein without the assent of the States of that Duchy. It is to be hoped that the common interests of the Supreme Council and of the States of Holstein will lead to an understanding between them on the subject of matters submitted to their discussion. But if, in spite of reiterated efforts from the Government, misunderstanding should continue to prevail between the two Assemblies in reference to business too important to be remitted to a more distant epoch, the Danish Government binds itself on the part of the Monarchy, on the Assembly of which it has imposed a precise rule, not to carry out that rule, and to limit its action to that part of the Monarchy whose Assembly has approved it. "In order to bring about an-undtrstandin be tween the different parties in the two , it' might perhaps be necessary to adopt special measures —as, for instance, the appointment of a committee of an equal number of members for• both Assemblies. However, without going into details on that point at present, it must be observed that the Danish Government will abstain from all intermixture in the decision come to by either of the Assemblies. "As regards financial arrangements, the amount that the finances special to Holstein shall have to pay towards the common expenses of the Monarchy shall be fixed once for all at 850,000 thalers—the sum that has been paid by the Duchy on an average of the last six years. So long as no augmentation of that sum shall be necessary, the States of Hol stein shall exercise no control over its employ ; but if the necessities of the State should require an increase in the financial resources, the augmenta tion of the sum fixed may be imposed on the finances only by a Royal ordinance, after the pre vious free approval of the States. "The Prussian Government will doubtless recog nize in the preceding propositions the spirit of conciliation by which the Danish Government is animated, should these measures be carried into execution, the States of Holstein will de facto exer cise on measures concerning the Duchy the same control as that which the Supreme Council possesses over measures interesting other portions of the Monarchy ; and it is therefore to be hoped that this plan, when presented at Frankfort by the Danish Ministry, will meet with the support of Prussia. " But the Danish Government is ready to go still further on the path of conciliation. Undoubtedly it cannot and will not allow of any right in Ger many to intermeddle in the affairs of Holstein. All the concessions that may be made to that Duchy must proceed exclusively from the free pleasure of the Danish Government, and cannot be considered as giving to the Diet any authority in Schleswig. " As a proof of the kindly sentiment with which the Danish Government is animated, and of its desire to do away with some of the inconveniences that, have excited complaint, it is ready, on the condi tion that the Diet gives its approbation to the above stated temporary arrangement for Holstein, to introduce the following modifications into the laws at present in ,force in Schleswig :- 6' 1. The religious act of confirmation may be per formed in the language preferred by those in terested. We are requested to state, in reference to the shooting at the Victoria Rifle Ground on Saturday last, that Mr. Arthur Fellowes has never shot at Wimbledon, having been prevented by illness from attending the meeting of the National Rifle Asso ciation in July last, neither has he the title of " Honourable." Miss Coutts's prizes were shot at Kilburn, subsequently to the Wimbledon meeting, Herr Thomann taking the first, Mr. Fellowes the second prize. ZOBD BROUGHAM'S ACCOUNT OF THE 11Ye0k.E-TAX BATTLE OF 1816. The Corporation of London took the lead in the national expression of opinion against the Property Tax. Their petition complained of the violation of the solemn faith of Parliament—of the injustice, vexation, and oppression of this tax—of the per tiality of taxing, in the same proportion, incomes of a short duration, and those arising from fixed and permanent property ; they acknowledged the de pressed state of the agricultural interests, but they contended that the manufacturing and trading inte rests were equally depressed, and equally borne down with the weight of taxation ; they finally called for reduction in the public expenditure, and the abolition of all unnecessary places, pensions, and sinecures. It was not alone the anti-ministerial party of the city that joined in the petition ; the judgments of mercantile men against the continu ance of the tax were almost universal. The dislike of the rural population was as fixed as that of the inhabitants of towns. The battle against this te x was one of the most remarkable examples of Par liamentary strategy that was ever displayed ; and the history of the struggle has been most pithily told by the leading tactician :—" On the termina tion of the war the Government were determined, instead of repealing the whole income tax, which the Act enforcing it declared it to be for and dur ing the continuance of the war and no longer,' to retain one half of it, that is, to reduce it from ten to five per cent., and thus keep a revenue raised from this source of between seven and eight mil lions, instead of fifteen. As soon as this intention was announced several meetings were held, and two or three petitions were presented. The Ministers perceived the risk they ran if the policy should be and d eysaw of continued the discussion vast impl e f .t o a r n a e l e en e g f th di o s f p t a i t m eh. time, Accordingly, the Chancellor of the Exchequer gave notice on the Tuesday for his motion on the Thurs day immediately following. The Opposition took the alarm, and Mr. Brougham declared, on present ing a petition numerously signed from one of the London parishes, that if 'the hurry now indicated should be persevered in he should avail himself of all the means of delay afforded by the forms of the House. Lord Folkestone, one of the most strenuous, and in those days one of the most active and power ful supporters of the popular cause, vigorously seconded this menace, in which he entirely joined. On the next day more petitions were flung in, more discussions took place, and the Govern ment postponed for a week the introduction of the bill. That week proved quite deci sive; for so many meetings were held, and so many petitions sent up, that the bill was put off from time to time, and did not finally make its appearance till the 17th of March. Above six weeks were almost entirely spent by the House of Commons in receiving the numberless petitions pouring in from all quarters against the tax, For it was speedily seen that the campaign of 1802* was renewed, and that the same leaders, Messrs. Brougham and Baring, had the management of the operations. " At first the Ministers pursued the course of obstinate silence. The Opposition debated each petition in vain ; every Minister and every Ministe rial member held his peace. No arguments, no facts, no sarcasms, no taunts, could rouse them ; no expression of the feelings of the country, no refer ence to the anxiety of particular constituencies, could draw a word from the Ministers and their supporters. At length it was perceived that their antagonists did not the less debate, and that con sequently the scheme had failed in its purpose of stifling discussion. The only effect of it then was, that ail the debating was on one side, and this both became hurtful to the Government in the house, and more hurtful st;11 in the country. They were forced into discussion, therefore; and then began a scene of unexampled interest, which lasted until the second reading of the bill. Each night, at a little after four, commenced the series of debates, which lasted until past midnight. These were of infinite variety. Arguments urged by different speakers : instances of oppression and hardship recounted. ; anecdotes of local suffering and personal inconvenience ; accounts of the remarkable passages at different meetings ; personal altercations inter spersed with more general matter—all filled up the measure of the night's bill of fare ; and all were so blended and so variegated, that no one ever per ceived any hour thus spent to pass tediously away. Those not immediately concerned, Peers, or persons belonging to neither house, flocked to the spectacle which each day presented. The interest excited out of doors kept pace with that of the spectators; and those who carried on those active operations, showed a vigour and constancy of purpose, an un• wearied readiness for the combat, which astonished while it animated all beholders. It is recounted of this remarkable struggle, that one night towards the latter end of the period in question, when, at a late hour, the House having been in debate from four o'clock, one speaker had resumed his seat, the whole members sitting upon one entire bench rose at once and addressed the chair—a testimony of unabated spirit and unquenchable animation, which drew forth the loudest cheers from all sides of the House. " 2. Private education is permitted, on condition that the usual public examinations shall be sub mitted to. " 3. A complete amnesty shall be granted for all political offences, and individuals under sentence shall be reinstated in their political rights. " 4. Assemblages and meetings of the inhabitants of Schleswig and Holstein, provided they have no political object, shall be allowed, with the condition that they shall not take the title of a Schleswig- Holstein meeting. " Such are some of the measures that the Danish Government will be ready to introduce forthwith, and it will hereafter consent, perhaps, to several others in addition. " It is now for the Prussian Government to judge if there be not here matter sufficient to smooth the road toward an understanding between Germany and Denmark, and if it would npt be prudent on the part of the former, in the critical position in which Europe now is, to profit by the conciliatory sentiments that influence Denmark, to put an end. to a question that has been so long pending." "At length, came the 17th of March, the day appointed for the division ; but it was soon found that this had been, with the debate, wholly'antici pated. The usual number of petitions, and even more, were poured thickly in during some hours ; little or no debating took place upon them ; un usual anxiety for the result of such long continued labour, and such lengthened excitement, kept all silent and in suspense ; when about eleven o'clock, Sir William Curtis, representing the City of Lon don, proceeded up the House, bearing in his arms the petition, which he presented without any re mark, of the great meeting of the bankers and merchants, holden in the Egyptian Hall, and signed by 12,000 persons.t The division took place, after a debate that did not last half an hour; no one could indeed be heard in an assembly so impatient for the decision; and by a majority of 37 voices the tax was defeated for ear, and the wholesome prin ciple, as Mr. Wilberforce well observed, was laid down . e w r n . 0 u war gt a , a n n , s d income peech e t s ax , are in t w r o e d d , cl w. e nt d io t n o , s gc t tso.

MANCHESTER, Jan. 29.—A rather better feeling exists in the yarn market, and a little more busi ness has been done in water twist for China. Offers are making for other markets, bat they are mostly at too low a rate to find acceptance with sellers. In cloth the downward tendency so evident last week has been more marked to-day. The prices of all descriptions of India skirtings are fully 3d. per. piece lower than on last Tuesday, and all other descriptions of goods suitable to the India market are down in the same proportion. The feeling in the cloth-market is one of great depression. Cloths suited to all markets feel more or less this depression, and may be had on easier terms, while the demand is almost suspended for the present. This state of the market arises a good deal from the belief that the difficulties in the United States will be arranged more amicably than was at first imagined. Two small Greek failures are men tioned here. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report:—" The falling off in the demand sported last week has since been more marked, and as there has been at the same time more anxiety to sell, we have to report a considerable decline from the extreme prices of Tuesday last. India and China shirtings have given way 3d. to 41d. per piece; T-cloths and longcloths, lid. to 3d. ; printing cloths the same, and at this decline there is but little doing." LEEDS, Jan. 29.—There is no new feature of importance in the woollen cloth trade to-day. The tone of the markets was rather quiet, but business transactions were greatly impeded—indeed almost stopped—in the cloth-halls by the occurrence of a dense fog during market hours. The home ware house trade is moderately steady, and there has been within the last few days a fair amount of transactions in the Canadian trade. The news from America does not yet tend to give much con fidence, and the export of woollen goods for the, States has been greatly checked of late. ROCHDALE, Jan. 28t h.—The market for both woe ►l and flannel has been a little better to-day than it was last week. Some kinds of wool are a little easier to purchase, but, upon the whole late prices are firmly maintained. There is a little more ; doing for spring goods, and if merchants woule concede a little on last month's prices orders would 'I be more plentiful. There is a good deal of circum spection used on all sides, and the bulk of the business done is of a hand-to-mouth character, the aspect of American affairs and other circumstances inducing great caution. Heavy goods, Yorkshire .1 and others, are in the most request. Production is as yet undiminished, so that, with the present slackness of the demand in the trade generally, stocks are slightly increasing. Intelligence from Rome states that Queen Christina was so painfully affected by the news of the deaths of the Count and Countess do Montemolin, that he' r Majesty became quite ill, and was confined to her room to peveral days, THE ARMY. '.]'he appointment of Major-Gen. G. H. Lockwood 0.F;., to the eolonelcy of the 4th (Queen's Own)' L 4 ;ht Dragoons, places a good service pension of Ll.lOO per annum at the disposal of his Royal High nes s the Doke of Cambridge. I ;y direction of Col. F. E. Chapman, C. 8., De put y Adjutant-General of the Royal Engineers, a cir( ,ular memorandum has been forwarded to all con amanding officers of Engineers, notifying that no a-commissioned officers belonging to that depart me :nt of the service who may be candidates for the Tointment of foreman of works at the various (4 1 -overnment establishments will not be required to idergo the examination previously laid down in tt Le circular of the 12th of July, 1860. Commanding o: facers are requested to forward, from time to time, the names of such non-commissioned officers as, fi nom their own knowledge, they consider competent t o undertake such duties, stating, at the same time, tthe trades in which they may be most proficient. About 20 of the most experienced of the non-cora- Anissioned officers of Royal Engineers at headquar it If ers have been appointed foremen of public works, 12.nder the provisions of the first circular issued on 1 the subject, which, up to the present time, has been lieund to work very satisfactory. In consequence of the excessive amount of war m; Iterial at the present moment in store at Gibral tar r, the War Department has ordered the removal of a number of 8-inch diaphragm shells, and other sb 3res to Malta and Corfu. THE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT. Earl de Grey and Ripon has intimated to com -manders of Volunteer Corps that, with a view of promoting as much as possible a knowledge of the r ifle among all classes of Volunteers, he will be pro ] ?ared, after the Ist of April, 1861, to sanction the gratuitous issue of rifle ammunition to Volunteer corps. His lordship does not intend that this grant hould be in addition to the quantity already al l( )wed to be purchased by corps, but that the diffe • ence between the proportion issued gratis and the quantity which has hitherto been allowed to rifle q corps may be continued to be issued to them at cost price. Last evening a crowded public meeting was held in Hawkstone-hall, Waterloo-road, to promote the _interests of the South London Temperance Rifle I corps—Mr. George Cruikshank in the chair. The c hairman said the meeting had been called for the iurpose of considering the advisability of forming • Temperance Rifle Corps. There were already a number of gentlemen enrolled, and one of the objects of the meeting was to increase that number. Capt. Shean moved, "That this meeting, believing that the formation and permanent embo diment of volunteer rifle corps in general is calcu lated to preserve lasting peace and security in our island home, pledges itself by all, established means to promote the interest of the South London Tem_ perance Rifles." Sergt. Todd seconded and Corporal Malthouse supported the motion, which was carried with cheers. Several names having been enrolled, the meeting separated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. On Saturday evening the anniversary of the en rolment of the 4th Kent Artillery Volunteers was celebrated at Sheerness, on which occasion the T vhole of the members of the corps (between 70 and 30) assembled in uniform at the Co-operative Hall, where some hundreds of ladies and gentlemen had also congregated for the purpose of witnessing the presentation of a testimonial to S er g eant-Major Sainsbury and a testimonial to Sergt. Oates (artil lery and drill instructors to as well as members of the 4th Kent). Mr. G. Hogben presided, and the com manding. The testimonial to presentations were. ma de in appropriate terms by Capt. Magnus, FATAL ACCIDENT ON TRE LONDON AND SOUTH WESTERN RAIL WAY, On the evening of Monday, the 28th, a distress ing accident occurred on this railway to the Ports mouth express train, which leaves the Waterloo station at 510 p.m. The train in question was preceded by the 5 p.m. express to Southampton, which proceeded safely to its destination. Unfor tunately, however, the 5 10 train ran off the line at the Epsom Junction about 9 miles from the Water loo station. The engine passed safely along the line, and was not at all concerned, apparently, in the accident. The tender appears to have mounted the rails close to a bridge about 20 yards from the Epsom Junction, and sweeping completely the para pet T o h f e th u e pp b e ri r d p g a e rt it e f f e t l h l e o t v e e n r de in r t e o en th ta e in ro ing road be neath.the e water was completely severed from the under side, to which the wheels were attached, and turned up side down into the road. The framework of the tender also fell over, and rested in the road by the side of the tank with the wheels uppermost. A few yards further on several first and second class carriages left the line and turned over, the bodies being severed from the framework and wheels, the latter being driven much further than the carriages themselves. The ends of the carriages were driven in, and nothing remained at all sound save the middle compartments, which had the cushions and rugs driven about in utter confusion. A tip of one of the buffers had rested in the middle of a first class carriage. The bank over which the carriages ran was about twenty h feet high. Several carriages remained upon thet e line, two were off the line on to the ballasnt, the foremost one being partly down the bank carriages the trainfortunatelyturningbutwoodworkManinjured,the was so travelling removed to a house close much hurt that she was _ 'n a fit state to be removed to Lon don.

The train in question carriage,literall y andcrus a h crushed to t death aveiii n u g u h d v era was followed by another train, express to Kingston, five minutes only after it. This, fortunately, was brought to a stand before arriving at the spot, or it must have dashed into the sound portion of the unfortunate train, and the consequences would have: been still moro awful.

There is great credit due to those in. charge of the trains. The engine -driver ran on for medical assistance, the guard left his train and ran back with the red or danger light, and the driver of the following train, seeing the signal, pulled xrp about 300 yards from the spot where the accident occurred. The pointsman at the junction has two distant signals about 400 end 800 yards towards London respectively, and it is a very strange and culpable thing that the most usr, , ful one, which can be seen nearly a mile from the junction by down trains, was out and utterly useless. 4s ' 6s
