THE STATE OF TURKEY. CONsTANTUsoBLE, Feb. 18.—This afternoon the firman relating to the rights of the non-Mahome dan subjects of Turkey will be read at the Porte. Several hundred copies have been already printed of it in Turkish, which will be distributed. Trans lations into other languages of the empire are be ing prepared, which will likewise be printed, and sent off to all the provinces. As it is wished to give to the reading as much as possible the charac tei of a purely internal affair, emanating from the free will of the Sultan, none of the foreign repre sentatives will attend, but all the Ministers and high functionaries, civil and military, as well as the ulemas and hadjis, the patriarchs and higher clergy of the different religions, are invited to be present. According to the usages on such occa sions the firman will be read afterwards in the different mosques. The firman is addressed to the Grand Vizier, Mehmed Emin Aali Pasha, and, as usual in this kind of documents, begins by a long allocution to him. The Sultan speaks in the first person, and, after this introduction, says that since the begin . ning of his reign he has had only one idea—namely, to makoall classes of his subjects happy, and that, thank God, his endeavours in this respect were not without success, as the increasing prosperity of the country shows. But he wants to give new vigour and a greater extension to his reforms, so as to satisfy all wishes and to raise the dignity of his Government. He thus continues By the efforts of my subjects and those of my allies, the external relations of my Government have acquired a new force, and I wish now likewise to augment its strength in the interior and to make all my subjects h a ppy, for, united as they are by their common sacrifices and their patriotism, they are ad equal in my eyes ; my will is therefore that the following points be rigorously enforced : " I confirm all the assurances given by the Hatti Bcberiff of Galhane, as to the security of the lives, the property, and honour of all classes of my subjects, with out distinction of rank or religion, and I will that these eAsurances be minutely observed. " All the privileges and immunities which have been given to the Christian and other communities which are under my sceptre are again confirmed. A revision will be effected without delay of the privilege s and improve ments made according to the spirit of the age and the actual state of society, and with my sovereign sanction. The councils which will be expressly established at the Patriarch's under the-inspection of the Sublime Porte, will have to discuss these improvements and submit them' to my Government. The power given to the Patriarchs by Mohamed the Conqueror and ray other glorious an cestors will be combined with this new position created for them by me, and when the mode of election of the Patriarch will have been ameliorated the Patriarch will be named by diploma for life. " According to a method devised by the Sublime Porte, the Patriarch, and the chiefs of the Christian and other communities, the patriarchs, archbishops, vicaries, bishops, and rabbis, will have to take an oath of alle giance. "All contributions and casual profits levied by the clergy from the communities are forbidden. Fixed re venues will be assigned to the patriarchs, archbishops, vicaries, and bishops, and a sufficient salary apportioned to the lower clergy, according to their rank and func tions. The movable and immovable goads of the clergy will not be touched. "A council chosen by the clergy and laity of the Christian and other communities will be intrusted with the direction of the natisnal affairs of the community. " No objection will be made to repairing the churches, sehvols, hospitals, and cemeteries in the different towns, villages, and hamlets according to the primitive design which may still exist. If it becomes necessary to erect new ones,' and the Patriarch or th. Aiefs of the com munities approve it, the plan will be submitted to the Sublime Porte, in order that I may give my sovereign approbation for its erection, or else that the objections to which it is open might be made against it. " If in some places there is a community quite isolated, —that is to say without people belonging to another re ligion,—such a community may celebrate publicly its religious ceremonies. But in the places inhabited by people belonging to different religions each may in its own quarter, adapting itself to the above-named prin ciple, repair its proper churches, schools, hospitals, and cemeteries. "As to building a new edifice the Patriarch and Synod will demand the permission of the Sublime Porte, which will be accorded, if there are no internal poitical considerations which prevent it. But whatever is done in these matters should be always done in a spirit of charity and tolerance. "Energetic measures will be taken to insure the freest possible exercise of every religion. " All epithets and distinctions which could tend to show a difference between one class of my subjects as the lower, and another as the higher one, are for ever abo lished all the documents of my Imperial Chancel lery. It is likewise strictly forbidden to officials and private individuals te use offensive and dishonouring terms, and the offenders will be punished. " As all religions can be exercised freely, no one will be molested on account of his religion, and no one forced to change his religion. " As the choice of those employed depends on my Im perial will, all my subjects will be received for offices ac cording to the existing regulations and according to their capacities, and if they satisfy the conditions demanded by the regulations of the Imperial schools—namely, if they are of the proper age, and pass the prescribed ex aminations—they will be admitted likewise into the mi litary offices. "Besides, each community is free to erect schools for arts and sciences. Only the studies followed there and the choice of teachers will be subject to the inspection of a mixed commission named by the Sublime Porte. " All the commercial and criminal causes between the members of two diffaent religious communities will be ',abject to a mixed court, whose sittings will be public. The accuser and accused will be confronted there, and the witnesses will take the oath, according to their reli gion, to tell - the truth. "Civil causes in the provinces and sandjaka will be examined in the mixed courts in the presence of the Vali and the Cadi. The sittings will be likewise public. "Causes between two of the same community, or those relating to successions, will, according to the wish of the parties, be brought before the Patriarch or the Medjlis. " A commercial and criminal code, as well as regula tions respecting the proceedings of the mixed courts, will be as soon as possible •corapleted, and published after being .trasslated into all the languages which are need in my empire. "In order to combine humanity with justice, the state of the prisons and other places of detention will be ameliorated, and regulations made as to the detention of those condemned for smaller mimes. With the excep tion of the police regulations of the Sublime Porte in this respect, all ill-treatment and corporal punishment or torture are completely abolished, and whoever should dare to inflict them will be severely punished. "The police in Constantinople, as well as in the pro vinces, must be so established as to protect most effi ciently life and property. "As equality of taxation will be introduced, it will be justice that the Christian and other subjects should fur nish, as well as the Mussulrnans, their contingent of troops; they roust therefore submit to the decision which has been lately taken in this respect. But in these questions the system will be followed to give an equiva • lent in money—that ie, to give money, and be thereby exempt from active service. " Regulations will he made shortly for employing al the subjects in the ranks of the army, independently of the Mussulmans, and when made these regulations will be published. " The Medjlis will be reformed in the provinces, in order to place the election of Mussulmans and non-Mus sulmans on a good tooting, and to insure the free and true manifestation of opinion ; and energetic measures will be taken that the Sublime Porte may know the re sult of these opinions, and on which side the right is. " As in commercial affairs, and as regards the pos sessien of landed property, the laws are equal for all my subjects ; when the Sublime Porte shall have made an arrangement with the foreign Powers, to the effect that foreigners should submit this respect to the laws of the country, and pay imposts at the same rate as the na tives, the right to possess landed property will be con ceded to foreigners. " As the taxes are levied equally on all subjects, one must think of the means to prevent the abuses in the collection of these taxes, especially of the tithes, and to establish, as f ar as i t i s poss i b l e, a d irect system of col lection,instead of th e system o f f arm i ng the revenue ow pursued. In the meantime , any public functiona ry who should l e t such revenues at a public auction, or even take weber° in it, w ill be se vere l y u punished. s in " The local ta xes must, aas possible, be die tributed so as not to do harm to ch the production and to the development of commerc e . " Imposts will be levied in the provinces for generally useful purposes, which will b e applied for t e benefit of advantage those provinces, which will hav e the antage of the roads for their communication inl an d an d their connec tion with the sea. " As the Sublime Porte has lately made a badet o f its revenues and expenses, this budget mus t be followe d up and developed. " The pay of each public functionary ought to be fixed, "An employe will be appointed for every Christian and other connuunity,,ia-order to take care of the affairs which concern the generality of my subjects, and to as sist at the State Council. These employes are expressly taken from the Ministry of the Grand Vizier; they are named for a year, and have to take an oath before they eater on their functions. "The members of the State Council will be free to manifest their opinions in the ordinary and extraordinary sitting; and will not be molested for that. "The laws against corruption will be executed against all my subjects without distinction, and to whatever class or rank they may belong. "The Sublime Porte will do her best to establish a good system of credit, and favour all things tending to raise it, as, for instance, a bank, for which the necessary capital will be procured. "The Stiblinse Porte will construct roads and canals for the tiffisPort of produce, and will give facilities for the ex‘ension of agriculture by removing all impedi ments." After this follows the usual conclusion, ordering the Sadr Azine to see that the Imperial will be executed. Wesfron, the murderer of Mr. Waugh, is, by the de cision of the Home-ofEce, to he condemned to penal servitude for life. The jury, it will be remembered, found biro guilty of the murder, but also found that be wag iivredisposod to insanity;id Naval and Military Intelligence. The General Screw Company's steam-ship Golden Fleece, Captain Scales, transport No. 75, arrived at Southampton from the Black Sea yesterday morning. The Golden Fleece sailed from Eupatoria on the 4th ult., with 519 horses on board, all of which were disem barked at Sizepoli, and proceeded thence to Constanti nople, which port she left for Malta on the 10th, sailing again for Southampton on the 16th. The Golden Fleece did not touch at Gibraltar. During the voyage from Malta this transport has experienced a succession of heavy weather, and strong head winds. On the 20th of February she passed the bark Come On off the Seven C a pes ; on the 25th spoke the brig Scipio, in lat. 37, long. 9 W., bound to the southward. The Golden Fleece sailed from Southampton with horses and troops on the 20th of June last, since which she has been actively oc cupied in the transport service. During that period there have been conveyed by {this vessel, to and from various ports in the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, 249 officers, 5,104 troops, and 3,879 horses, besides pas sengers, the ship having travelled a distance of upwards of 19,000 miles. With the exception of the necessity of docking the Golden Fleece is quite ready for sea, the interior of the vessel being more like a ship recently fitted out than one just returned from active service. The Transit screw steam-transport, belonging to the fleet, Commander C. R. Johnson, R.N., went into Portsmouth harbour on Friday evening and hauled alongside the doeitysr3, to land her invalids and passen gers, which was effected on Saturday afternoon. They consiste I of 19 of the 54th Regiment ; 16 of the 66th ; 16 of the 94th ; 1 of the Royal Sappers and Miners ; 25 of the Royal Artillery ; 10 of the Northamptonshire and 54 of the Royal Lancashire Militia, in military charge of Lieut. H. N. Browne of the West York Militia. They proceeded to temporary quarters. The Comet steam-tug towed the new steam gun-boat Opossum from Northam to Portsmouth en Saturday to be fitted ; and the Chub steam gun-boat left Portsmouth for the rendezvous to the third and fourth divisions of the gun-boat flotilla in Portland Roads, where the fol lowing of their members amembled on Friday :—Her Majeity's ship Sanspareil, screw, 71, Capt. A. C. Key, C.B. ; the Lark, Magpie, Badger, Sheldrake, Skipjack, and Redwing. The Charon, Bouncer, Haughty, ,Her ring, Julia, and Peiter are expected te join this rendez vous from Woolwich in a day or two. The new and powerful cranes or shears have just been erected on the jetty of the gun-wharf at Portsmouth. They are required for shipping the mortars on board the vessels of the fleet. A number of these, 13-inch, of 5 tons weight each, are ready for shipment, and others are daily arriving and expected, to the number of 140. An enormous consignment of shell is also on its way, viz., 30,000 13-inch, 30,000 10-inch, and 0,000 8-inch. About 30 tons of other ammunition also were received oa Friday. Extraordinary stores of munitions of war are being accumulated at Portsmouth, where the powder magazinee are quite full, and additional depots are about being made by mooring old ships for that purpose in the upper part of the harbour beyond the great magazine at Priddy's-hard. The steam-transport Charity left Portsmouth yester day ter Liverpool, and the Alps will embark to-day a number of officers and men of the 99th Regiment for conveyance to Ireland. After a week's absence, on a trial cruise, the screw fteam-ship Orion, 91, Captain J. Erskine, returned to Plymouth Sound, on Friday. She has been as far west as long. 6 deg. 30 sec., in lat. 49 deg. 30 sec., and has had still weather all the time. Her engines are in ex cellent order, but the controller pipe, which was split and carried away last year in the Baltic, is to be re placed by a new one. The position of the leak has not been discovered, and she continues to make 2 feet 8 inches per day. The repairs if the Orion will be com pleted in the Sound. The paddle-wheel steam-vessel Prospero sailed from Plymouth for Pembroke, on Friday, and the paddle. wheel steam-vessel Avon for Portsmouth on Saturday. The gun-boat Soap, which sailed from Plymouth on Thursday with the screw steam-ship Sanspareil, burst her cylinder outside the harbour, returned to the Sound, and, her repairs Leing completed, sailed again for Spit head on Friday. The crew of the London, 90, Captain Jarvis, got up topmasts at Devonport on Saturday. An Admiralty order just promulgated promises to re move a great difficulty felt in the treatment of sick and wounded seamen at naval hospitals. In these establish ments there has always been a want of pi operly trained nurses of good character. The candidates admitted were generally without qualification for such very peculiar duties, and, after gaining experience in the , wards, the remuneration was eo small that efficient persons had no 'inducement to remain. From the let of April next a new scale of pay and allowances is to come into force. The pay of the male nurses is to be increased from Bid. a-day and provisions, to ls. 6d. a-day with provisions and a complete suit of uniform, besides a working dress annually ; that of female nurses to 201. per annum, provisions, two suits of clothes annually, and a cloak every three years. In the lunatic wards of Haslar Hos pital, where the duties are still more peculiar, and re quire a lecger training, the two chief attendants are ,to have their pay and allowances increased from 2s. 31. per day, a suit of clothing annually, and provisions, to 3s. per day, a suit of uniform and working dress annually, and provisions. Four of the senior male attendants are to have their pay increased from ls. 6d. to 24. per day, and the female attendants to receive the same pay and allowances as female nurses. In addition, a gratuity of 51. is to be given each year to that male or female at tendant who has most ably performed his or her duty, and as a relief from constant association with lunatics, each is to have a week's leave on full pay during the year. Another large detachment of troops left Chatham Barracks on Saturday fur the purpose of proceeding to the School of Musketry at Hythe, where they will un dergo a thorough course of instruction in the use and practice of the Enfield rifle under Cal. Hay and Lieut.- Colonel Wilford. The authorities at the Horse Guards have appointed three normal schoolmasters to be attached to the provi sional battalion at Chatham for the purpose of instruct ing the troops belonging to that garrison. Col. Eden has issued an order, directing that one-half the recruits of the provisional battalion are to attend school every day, and also the whole of the recruits belonging to the depot of the 91st Regiment. Perini sion is also accorded to those volunteers who raay feel so inclined to attend Fcheol every evening excepting Saturday, and a number of volunteers have already availed therr4elvei of this leave. The boys belonging to the garrison are instructed daily. The authorities at the War Department having de cided that all the recruits proce , Altag to India and to the colonies shall for the future be supplied with rifles, great exertions are being made by Capt. Wm. Nott, 83d Regiment, the instructor appointed at Chatham, that the whole of the troops shall he thoroughly acquainted with the use of that weapon, so as to be able to impart instruc tion to others in their respective regiments on joining the head-quarters. Col. Jervis is also carrying out the wishes of the War-office on this head, a certain number of the troops being instructed every day at the practising ground, St. Mary's.creek. The result of ;orne carefully conducted tria's and ex periments with various kinds of gun metal has convinced the authorities of Woolwich Arsenal that the Nova Scotia charcoal iron possesaes capabilities of greater re sistance as well as other desirable qualities in a s uperior degree. They have therefore recommended its adoption for the purposes of the new foundryand gun factory there. The War Department has just concluded a contract with the Acadian Iron Company for a large and regular supply of that material, which, it is considered, will also he brought extensively into use, as, with such ready means of procuring superior gun metal now at their dis posal, Government will be relieved of that dependence on foreign countries for an article of the greatest import ance, which England herself has not the means of pro ducing. The Government of Nova Scotia have shown a strong desire to encourage the manufacture of iron of these mines, and have agreed to appropriate extensive tracts of forest land in the immediate vicinity of their works for the purposes of the company. The Nova Scotia iron has been pronounced to be perfectly adapted for the higher qualities of steel, and all those other pur poses to which Swedish and Russian iron has in times past been exeusively applied. On Saturday morning Sir C. Wood, First Lord of the Admiralty, accompanied by Rear-Admiral Sir M. F. F. Berkeley, paid a visit to Woolwich Dockyard for the purpose of inspecting the despatch and gun-boats. They were joined by the Superintendent of the yard, Commodore Shepherd, and the officers commanding the various vessels under fitment there, over which they were successively conducted. They expressed them selves extremely satisfied with the rapid progress of that department. The following appointments were made on Saturday at the Admiralty : Captain the Hon. J. R. Drummond, to the Victory, vice Gordon ; C. H. Eden and W. R. Kennedy, mid shipmen, to the Calcutta ; A. Cavendish, naval cadet, to the Calcutta ; J. G. Risk, Surgeon to the Exmouth ; J. T. M. Brenner, Surgeon to the Rodney ; J. Christie, Surgeon to the Sanspareil • W. Livesay, Surgeon to the Fisgard ; M. Hamilton, Surgeon to the Wellesley ; C. A. Anderson, Surgeon to the Calcutta; W. C. Nutt, Surgeon and Agent at Sick Quarters, Poole ; G. B. Moore, Assistant-Surgeon, to the Calcutta ; C. E. Play fair, Assistant-Surgeon, to Greenwich Hospital; Win. Patrick, Assistant-Surgeon, to the Duke of Wellington ; J. Young, Assistant-Surgeon, to the Excellent ; S. A. Willis, Assistant-Surgeon, to the Exmouth ; J. B. Mur phy, Acting Assistant• Surgeon, to the Calcutta; C. It Godfrey, Acting Assistant-Surgeon, to the Tyne ; and F. Braddon, Clerk, to the Vulture. 1 LIVISRPOOL BURIAL-GROUNDS.—At the meeting of the Liverpool Health Committee yesterday attention was drawn to the dreadful condition, caused by over crowding it with bodies, of the St. John's churchyard, near St. George's-hall ; and also of the equally danger ous state of St. Paul's churchyard, both in the midst of dense populations. The subject was ordered to be brought before the Town Council. VALUE OF AGRICULTURAL STOCIZ.—At the annual fat stock sale on the farm premises of the Duke of Newcastle, at Hardwick, last week, 105 S:iuthtlown wethers realised from 465. to 68s. each ; 70 Southdown gimmers brought 399, to 50s. 6d. per bead ; 115 South down ewes realised 335. 6d. to 574. ed. per head ; 20 Southdown bogs sold at from 278. 6d. to 369. each ; 10 Southdown rams were knocked down at from 60s. to Gas. per head ; l5 short-horned heif ers , f e t c h ed from 18/. ss. to 271.

MARCH 3, t 56, TIIE TIPPERARY JOINT-STOCK BANK. Every day there are fresh indications of the ruin impending over the shareholders of the unfortunate Tipperary Bank. There is a wide-spread feeling of pity for the position of Mr. James Sadleir, the chief victim of his brother's frauds, and upon whose shoulders will fall the full weight of the suicide's transgressions. The member for Tipperary is, in fact, a ruined man, and it is said that he has al ready broken up his establishment, parted with servants, equipage, (t . c., and is prepared to meet with becoming fortitude the sad reverse which has cruelly crushed his wordly prospects. In a com munication to his own journal Mr. J. F. Maguire, M.P., writes as follows : "There is scarcely any topic now in the city save that of John Sadleir and his victims. The war itself is a subject of subordinate interest at this moment. Who is the new victim ? is now the question—one, toe, that fills many a breast with the most terrible apprehension ; for what are securities—what are deeds—what are mort gages—what are shares, if they be nothing better than counterfeits ? There is ne one who has bad dealings of this nature with him for a long time that has not reason for some doubt. In fact, no language can describe the consternation which the recent disclosures have caused, and which it will take a long time to dispel. The share holders of the Tipperary Bank are to be pitied, but more especially those who Mime anything to lose ; for it is said that not a few of them are persons of no means. If so, those who have means must meet every deficiency. There is no more fearful screw in the whole legal armoury than the process now being set in operation. It was under the Joint-Stock Winding-up Act that the victims of the St. George Company got the coup de grace, In that blessed concern, not only was the original property, the fully paid up capital lost, but everything of the debts was squeezed out of those who were able to pay. You lost your 1001. share, or your 20 shares, as the case might be ; and you had to pay up an equal amount of liabilities. Nor does the list which you published the other day, as that of the shareholders of the bank, at all represent the whole of those liable ; as, acco r di ng t o the law regulating banks, a shareholder who has retired six or 12 months before the smash is as liable as the man who had not transferred his shares up to the last mo mmt. I know that. there are some people in Ireland, of very prominent standing in the country, who a re i n this position, and who, th ough not in the present list, are still liable. I believe the liability continues for so long a period as three years after retirement. The lia bilities of the bank are said to be immense, inasmuch as it had great influence, and its high rate of interest on deposits offered inducements which it required astonish ing prudence to resist. It must have been the full view of the utter ruin which he had brought upon hundreds of families, then reposing in fancied security, that wrung from the wretched suicide those words which sound like groans, and look tears of blood." PROMOTION IN TEE ARMY. (Front the Times of this day.) Sir De Lacy Evans is to-morrow to bring before the House of Commons the system of promotion by pur chase, and to raise a question which has always been debated with very natural warmth on both sides. Yet the mere it is considered, the simpler, though not per haps, the easier, will it appear. The inquiry takes the following form, and we shall perhaps do good service by a simple and dispassionate statement of the case :—On what grounds or qualifications should a man receive an appointment as au officer in the army, or be advanced from the rank he fills to one of greater authority and re sponsibility ? Here is the whole question simply stated, and, since we see that the military profession does un doubtedly require peculiar aptitudes, resolute study, and, to some extent, scientific talent, there would seem to be no doubt as to the reply. Obviously, appointments and promotions should be regulated by competence and merit ; the men beet fitted for officers should become officers, and the best of these officers should be advanced to the highest ranks of the profession. To this plain con clusion, however, the objection is raised, that no such discrimination as would ascertain the relative merits of officers could possibly be exercised. The distinctions professedly so made would really be made by favour only. In time of peace, especially, the means of distin guishing the deserts of one officer from those of another would be so small and so difficult to establish that there would be unbounded scope for the operation of favour or interest ; whereas, if nothing but interest or favour could insure advancement, the state of things would be worse than it is at present. If military service so far resembled certain other professions that the infirmities of age brought with them comparatively few disadvantages; if generals, like judges, were little the worse for years, or even the loss of sight, there would be an escape from this perplexity in the rule of seniority. It might be very fairly argued that if the merits of officers were so simi lar and eo nearly on a level as was alleged, they might clearly as well be taken in simple rotation. Bnt, un fortunately, the profession of arms requires bodily vigour as well as military experience, and the acquisitions of a laborious career are liable to be nullified for the want of those active energies which rarely last beyond a cer tain t.rm of life. Promotion by seniority, therefore, which would make age the sole condition of advance ment, would expose the service to most serious disad vantages. Eo the result is, that what must not be left to favour and cannot be assigned to age is conceded to money ; not because the principle is either justifiable or satisfactory, but because the system is practically pre ferable to the abuse which would be made out of promo tion by merit, and the mischief which would flaw from promotion by seniority. if the purchase system, however, is the least in a cheice of evils, it is small only by such comparison, for it really operates in other ways seriously to the damage of the army, Under such a system military officers roust necessarily, as a general rule, be men of property. A Parliamentary paper lately published shows that the value of an ensign's commission in the infantry of the lige is 4501. ; of a lieutenant's, 7001. ; of a captain's, 1,8001. ; of a major's, 3,2001. ; and of a lieutenant colonel's, 4,5001. In the cavalry the prices are consi derably higher. Now, such conditions of service put it met of all question that men from the less opulent classes or from the Middle ranks of life should, generally speak ing, ante: the army as a profession, although they may be well qualified to excel in it. Moreover, another mil rtune is induced. Men who can afford to pay there sums can also, in all proLabilty, afford other ex penses, so that the Government pay of an officer, or that remuneration which is presumed to recompense his la bour by providing him with a subsistence, is kept so small as to answer no such purpose. That no officer be low the rank of captain can live on-his pay, or support his position in the army without some means inde pendent of his profession, is a fact perfectly notorious. Hence flow tvo evils. In the first place, it is quite im possible that men who thus, practically speaking, serve without any fair recompense f r their work should always render such good service as that which is secured by good pay. The spirit of honour inherent in English gentlemen does a great deal, and prevents, in fact, many of the results which might be otherwise anticipated ; but it nevertheless is evident that the military profes sion is placed altogether in a wrong position. It is made a matter of amusement rather than of business, and, as it can be quitted at any time, as it was entere i, by way of sale and without loss, it is not pursued with that con tinuous zeal which in other callings leads to excellence and success. In fact, where advancement can never be insured by merit, and may usually be commanded by money, it is out of all reason to expect, as a rule, any laborious or systematic exertion. This is one disadvan tage contingent on the purchase system ; a second is, that while the profession of arms is thus made accessory to the pastime of the opulent, it can offer few openings ; to those who would be ready to follow it in a different spirit. When it is said that meritorious serjeants ought to be made ensigns, the answer is promptly forthcoming that such promotion would only be their ruin, inasmuch As they would find themselves in a society where some thing beyond professional excellence was required to give position, and where the pay was quite inadequate for its assumed purpose. In other professions the career is open from the bottom to the top. Not only may an attorney's clerk become Lerd Chan cellor, or an apothecary's boy a leading surgeon, but every step in thelr respective advancements is attended with proportionate gain. In the army, though a deserving priva'.e may be promoted with benefit to himself up to the rank of sergeant-major, he cannot, except at great hazard, be transformed from a sera eant-major into an ensign. It is said that a serious obstacle to reform will arise from the necessity of buying up those interests which had been created under the existing usages ; and in the Parliamentary return above queted the total value of all the regimental commissions in the cavalry and infantry, Guards included, is estimated at 8,068,5351. The sum seems enormous, but there is still no reason for passive acquiescence in the evils which confessedly exist. At present we actually make the worst instead of the best of our present means, for, while we recognise the prin ciple of seniority on the one side, and the principle of purchase on the other, we perversely apply each of them just where it can do the least good and the greatest harm. If officers were promoted by seniority up to the rank of captain, the limits of age thus provided could hardly include much that was objectionable ; and, if pur chase were allowed only in those higher ranks where it was most desirable that seniors should make way f.r juniors, we should be gaining the advantage of that system also, with its least amount of harm. But, as it happens, we do just the reverse, for we push the pur chase system to its utniost in the subordinate ranks of the army, and revert to the system of seniority in the case of the higher ranks, where it tells most prejudicially. To get rid of such a system as this any pecuniary sacri fice would be trivial, and at the present rate of rapid promotion it would be very easy—by laying down the simple principle that no one shall sell a commission who has not bought it—to reduce the sum required to a very manageable amount. If we were to respect existing in terests, but suffer no new vested interest to be created, we might, especially in a time of war, soon be able to deal with the whole system, and t o ren d er th e British array, if riot theoretically, at any rate practically, the best service in the world. DUBLIN, Thursday.—An inquest was held on Monday, at Newry, on the body of Captain Kent, paymaster of the Lancashire Militia, who was accidently poisoned by a drug negligently supplied him as a medicine by the assistant of an unlicensed apothelary. The jury found the following verdict :—" That Aquilla Howe Kent came by his death on the 24th instant, by reason of his having drank a quantity of a poisonous drug, called aconite, negligently supplied to him by Samuel Townley Connor, assisted by James TILE GAOL OF _NEE AT:..

John Davis, the ordinary of Newgate,. and which was presented by him to the Court of Aldermen, and ordered by them to be printed, upon the subject of the interior arrangements of that prison, was published on Saturday. The report extends to some length, but the following extracts contain the more important portions of it. The rev. gentleman, in the commencement of the report, says :—" I have long been anxious to bring under no tice the consideration of the subject of the defective state of the interior of Newgate as one of the most prominent, if not the most prominent, and important gaol in the empire, but have been induced to defer it by many con siderations." With regard to the security of the gaol, Mr. Davis says :—"As regards the safe custody of pi i soners,Newgnee has for ages been proverbial, but the escape of three convicts of inveterate habit and great crime dur ing the past ycar, and the full conviction of those who were acquainted with all the circumstances that the three might just as well have been thirty, has banished such illusions, and shows how vigilant the superintendence of convicts must be, i i nd how dangerous it is to place the smallest confidence in their docility and apparent usefulness in prison." He proceeds :—" The great and crying evil in the gaol of Newgate is the want of sufficient means to separate prisoners who may not be addicted to crime from those inveterate offenders whose delight is to lead others deeper and deeper into guilt, and particularly those who may not be so deeply contamivated as them selves. The following classes of persons are frequently confined in one ward :-1. A burglar, whose habits of entering houses in the night-time, and his frequent hair breadth escapes, render him a diverting companion, where he ono, in security to himself, describe his pro ceedings, as he can in Newgate, and where he becomes a most dangerous and pernicious associate of others not so deeply inured in crime. 2. A swell mob's-man, dressed up as smart as fashionable clothes can make him, generally with little or no education, but whose dexterity is chiefly in his fingers and his cool impudence. 3. A. bank clerk accused of forgery, but steeped to his chin in licentiousness, profligacy, and vice, and ready to receive any further instructions in iniquity. 4. A man of bru tal and dissolute habits, charged with the manslaughter of his wife. 5. A receiver of stolen goods, the par chaser of the produce of burglaries and crimes of all kinds, who has for years known all the most successful thieves of every description, and is well recognised in the ward where he is placed. 6. An utterer of forged bank notes. 7. One of a gang of forgers, who for years have lived and grown rich on the plunder of bankers, while the dupes they hare employed have been convicted and transported. 8. A young man charged with em bezzling a few shillings, and who is petrified and as t evaded with his companions around him. Let us just imagine what eight such offenders, shut up for 20 hums out of 24 together, have to talk about. From toe con struction of the wards of Newgate it is impossible to overhear the conversation that takes place, but from other sources I have been many times informed what it is, and this ; cleplerable as it is, cannot be altered, unless the prison be differently constructed, or the number of officers so increased as to render it possible to keep up vigilant personal superintendence both by day and night. The burglar will suggest bow they might escape out of prison, and several of the same class of offenders are always dangerous i❑ the same ward. More than once hes a burglar gone to tke chimney at night, and mounted as fiTr as — the iron bars would let him; their removal he has attempted in vain, and has been compelled to return. The dirt he has wade, and the soot he• leaves on himself betray him, and he gets punished for his temerity. But a prop zly•cotistructed prison gives him no oppottnaity for waking such an ex perimeet, the wards or cells are warned by other appa ratus, and the fire-place and chimney are dispensed with. The swell mob'••suaa relates his peculiar adventures; he travels a good deal ; in fashionable ball rooms, is bank ing houses, in churches, and at races, or wherever mem bers of the upper classes meet, he is in attendance. lie tells his companions how he has succeeded, he shows them the wsy to acc napliih his purpose, and, if they doubt him, he picks their own pockets to prove it to them. He ii hem how to fit the attention of the patty he wants to operate upon, and when that is rivetted he i pints out the method that succeeds. The reedier, r of st )1 n goods tells them that if they get off wi bout punshment he mall be glad t) give them as much as anybody f r what they gt. He has a crucible al,veys hot, that it is foolish to run risks for a little more, and be can do' the r bank notes for them. Iq fact, he is carrying on his offences within the walls' of the prison just as effect :ally as if he were at liberty, and the amount of mischief that he does to incipient offen ders does not always end when the seducer is convicted —it merely c)eninenc ■ should he be acquitted. Thu utterer of forged notes goes through his adventures. lle describes the disguises Le assumes—the dupes he has empli yed, snd, what is worse, the great success he has met with ; fur it seems fabulous to repeat what such men say they have acquired. The effects produced by these end vi or e communications—for it would be silly to suppose that we can ever get at the worst—are la mentable and most disastrous. Humanity, justice, and judgment alike cry aloud for the extermination of such evils. They oely exist at florsemonger-laue and New gate, bet toe Surrey magistracy is. taking measures to remedy them ; and, when this is done, Newgat. will stand alone in the metropolis as a gaol of association, subjected to the corruptions and contami nations of past ages, and unreformed among all the new and valuable improvements carried out in the other metropolitan prisons, " After some further re marks, the Ordinary makes the following observations with reference to the ticket-of-leave system. He says : " We have had, during the last year, a number of these cases brought into Newgate for trial, and the reason of their relapse into crime is easily trac!ahle to the ;vent of • close observation as to those that, when released from prison regain their poeition, and those who are no sooner at liberty than they fail back to ways of dishonesty. Cii minals who reform, or, at least, do not return again to prison, are those who deeply feel the degradation of crime, and leave prison with good purposes of amend, meat. They are received and encouraged in these hopes by their friends—they are upheld in times of drifioulty and distrust, and by a petiei.t coetinuance in well-doing succeed. These remarks apply to a large number libe rated from Newgate. But, on the other wind, when, after ever so long an imprisonment, an offender returns to cor rupt and depraved friends, whatever impression, how,..ver sincere, may have been made in prison is soon obliterated and destroyed, and they relapse into cruse. This has been the explanaion of every case that I have examined where the giving of tickets-of-leave has failed. With regard to the first-class of offenders, they way be set free after un d rrgoiag 3 or 4 years' imprisonment, without any injury to the publie rid with greet benefit to themselves and their families, and with much relief to the prisons, which require some deliverance. Much more inquiry is required a-i to the antscedents'ef offenders before they are set at liberty, and an investigation whether their friends aro fit to receive tk.em, ready to help, a rat able to protect them until they legato their posite n or esta;.,liela a new one for themselves. There are not v anting many instances where what are termed reformatories ~ al-:e this part in th! restoration of an offender wthers toe personal friends of others are able to effec'ee If the mired and intention of a liberated prisoner he right, and he find eerie such shelter as an a-ylurn affords, he is net unlikely to do well, par ticularly if he be willing, and an opportunity he afforded him to emigrate. But a prisoner liberated e lib a sincere intention to do right, yet without friends to help bins, is exactly described in thegospel, when thereformed person is said to return to his house, and finds it empty, swept, and garnished ; but having no companions suited to his altered circumstances, and feeling twee y in his new po sition he taketh unto him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and the latter end of that Irian is worse than the beginning. Habitual offenders cars be trusted with their liberty only at great rick. We have no dif ficulty, from long experience at Newgate, in finding out this class of offenders ; a few minutes conversation dis covers them, and once known there should be set before them one of these two alternatives, personal reformation or perpetual imprisonment. Sympathy and pity shown to hypocritical penitents leads to indignation on the par t of the public at the misplaced and injudicious kindness ; hit the liberation of others who can rightly use that blessing ought not to be impeded by the ingratitude arid depravity of others. Bet the Ellen and ten year men will now soon be exhausted, and tickets-of-leave will be sparingly used among those sentenced to penal servi tude. The conduct of a prisoner in gaol should never, by itself, be taken as sufficient ground for the extension of pardon. It may form one element in the cJnsidera- Lion of this favour—by itself it is very deceptive. Under the restraint of a prison a small part only of the real e'aaracter is developed, aad the part there disclosed may be nothing but hypocrisy. To act upon such evidence must lead to disappointment, and extensively damage what I cannot but think a wise and discreet principle. It is singular that as yet no female convict to whom a ticket-of-leave Las been given has abused this privilege so as to excite public indignation." The public is aware ttpt since this report has been made by Mr. Davis ex trUsive alterations have been projected in the formation of the gaol, which are being proceeded with, in order to remedy the great evils referred to by the reverend Ordinary. His Eminence Cardinal Wiseman has acceded to a solicitation made by the commitee of the Marylabone Literary and Scientific, Institution, to deliver a lecture for its benefit, on Wednesday, April 23. The subject is to be—The Influence of Words on Thought and on Civili• 8 Ition. THE DISSENTERS' MARRIAGES BILL—The new bill brought in by Mr. Pellatt, Mr. Cheetham, and Mr. Had field, enacts that no notice of marriage under the pro• visions of the existing acts shall be read or published before the Poor-Law guardians, or be transmitted to their clerks by the registrar. Every notice of marriage must be accompanied by a solemn 'declaration by one of the parties that there is no lawful hindrance thereto. Notice of marriage without licence must be affixed in the office of the superintendent. , TAB AUSTRIAN ORDER OF THE STAR.—The Austrian order of the Star, the insignia of which have just been presented to the Empress of the French by Count dr, Buol, was founded in 1668 by the wife of Leopold I. of Austria, in honour of the Holy Cross, on the occa sion of a fire that took place ie the Imp.-rial castle, and in which a crucifix remained completely intact. The insignia are composed of a double eagle surmounted by the Imperial Crown, and having in the centre a blue enamelled cross, coming out of a golden heart, round which is the name of the Saviour. The upper part of the escutcheon is attached to a white enamelled ribbon with the inscription "Sallie et Gloria." This order is not generally conferred, except at the fetes of the Discovery or of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, and exclusively on ladies of the highest rank. The superior patroness of the order is now the Empress Dowager Maria Caroline, widow of Francis 1., who, having been raised to that dignity on her Becebeion ti the Tluone, preuerveo the title for life. -- , q-PaRTIT'TC4 IT°TE3* NOTIONS ABOUT NOTTINGHA The complete success of the recent meeting at Liver pool was marred by the incompe.tenc3, of the " officiAls." A snore inefficient " staff" was never employed at a gathering of second-class pretensions, and the public were consequently dissatisfied and distrustful. The large terms demanded by the Newmarket cfficials were, J suppose, the cause of Mr. Topham's discontinuing their services, but in retrenching his expenses in this particu lar he committed a sad err,r of judgment. So far as the sport was concerned the meeting was most interesting and satisfactory. The result of the steeplechase was fortunate for a largo majority of the fielders. The fa vourites were beaten by outsiders, but from the charac ter of the animals which composed the front rank no very high opinion can be formed of the competitors. Sir Peter Laurie and Harry Lorrequer figured most in gloriously, and their performances fully bore out the estimate which I made of their respective pretensions. The Cheltenham division were widely censured for the " game," which many persons unhesitatingly assert was played with Sir Peter Laurie and Free Trader. After the race, the owner of those horses was addressed in anything but complimentary terms by Mr. o.—and the opinion obtains that the tactics of the Chelten ham people were most unfair and discreditable. Harry Lorrequer made a most disgraceful exhibition. Fowler attributed his defeat to his being shut out by the crowd at Bsecher's Brook. Jean du Quesne ran well, but seemed incapable of staying. The other "foreigner," Franc Picard, displayed much jumping ability, and Han dicappers "willing," he may yet de a "good thing" be fore his return to France. My cockboat, Minerva, was nearly landing me in triumph. Had she not cut her foot at the last hurdles, I fancy she would have frustrated the tricks of the Free Traders. The new rule relative to P.P. betting has already worked in a most salutary and effective manner. The disgraceful proceedings connected with .Flageolet at Derby have, in consequence of this rule, been made to tell only against the persons concerned with them. Flageolet, it will be remembered, was scratched for the Harrington Plate at the last moment, and the money which was "got out of her" in London was put on Romeo. The unexpected success of an outsider, how ever, upset the cunniegly•devised scheme of the party who have the annoyance of not being able to receive about Flageolet and being compelled to pay on Romeo. The scratching of Berezina for the Spring Cup too at Liverpool, thanks to the new rule, answered no money getting purpose. Speculation on "coming events" was never so inac tive as at present. For roany elAys the Chester Cup has been scarcely mentioned in the market, and not the slightest disposition has been evinced to resume oPera ratinr.s. At the City rendezvous, the Victoria Club, a few bets are occasionally made of an evening, hut they are only to trifling amounts. The only movement of importance relative to the Derby has been with reference to Ellington, who at Liverpool received strong support The Nottingham Meeting will take place to-inurr-lw and terminate on Wednesday. The clever C. C., Mr. Bradfield, ha., as usual, prepared a most attractive pro gramme, and his laborers to obtain a large gathering aro likely to be attended with success. Fisherman will perhaps win the Trial Stakes. In his default Alfred may pull through. Mary, with her 71bs. penalty, will have a difficult task to win the Nottingham Handicap. Her owner may allow his interest to be represented by Sir Rowland Trenchard. My fancy, however, is for Fulbeck and De Ginkel. The Cutty Quean may com pensate her party for the disappointment which she oc casioned them at Lincoln and Derby by winning the Little John Stakes. For the Forest Handicap I shall select Flageolet. I shall not venture a guess about the result of the Hurdle Race. March 3. A FRESH MAN. HUNTING APPOINT NIENTS. (Weather permitting.) STAGIIOI7NDB. her Majesty's Tees. Richiugs 11 39 Fri.
