CHARGE OF MR. 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 oalendar 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, sainted during the last Session of Parliament, as bear di rectly on an important maritime and mercantile commu 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 bosoms. 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 jurianrua e n ee 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 law. In this direction I devoutly hope that not more haste than good speed will be seen • otherwise we shall ru e th e resu lt for many a long day. Something has been actually effected during the last session, by statute 19 and 20 Vic., 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 mint 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 Vie., 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 been 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 parsonage houses, augmenting small liv ings, and for other beneficial 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 Vict., 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 Vict., 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, elaborate". 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 oh. 22 ; that relating to Pawnbrokers, by chap. 2;0. By chapter 113 valuable facilities are afforded for taking evidence in relation to civil and commercial mat ters, pending before foreign 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 lass 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 Tict. c. 120, an admirable alteration has Ifeen effected in the few 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 he circuitous, clumsy, and costly interference of the Legis lature, in private family settlements. This statute comes into operation on the Ist 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 carefully and 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 of them or their families on the passing of stat.l9 and 20 Vic., c. 41, which affords great inducen to economy, and facilities for securing to sailors their . A 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 banded 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 89 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 I 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 fa,nily 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, light-hearted, and with a smile, reflecting God's pproval, 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 ;tend either here, er there—beside me here, or before me there—in the witness box, or at the bar—as prosecutor or a 3 prisoner, publicly telling, when sobered and ashamed, the wretched story of his folly and guilt ! Gentlemen, by another act, chapter 26, a banker's cheek, bearing across its face, in written or stamped letters, the name of a banker, e • the words "and Co m p any, " e ith er i n f u ll , or a bb rev i ated, is 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 clime. Another act is chapter 97 • and I recom wend 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 great 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 one 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 imusedi ctehfeonahheltdo b s t y a the nd c on the Bill is now necessary Again—a written acceptance r t e e d a i I odr u i n l e w s t h a o sdev place an tag e t s h e o f s u a I re l e ; i u s r ti e ° n s in all bills of Exchange, whether I nland or Foreign; and bills and notes drawn in any part of th e United Kingdom, er the Channel Islands, and islands adjacenth wceitfhoirtnht be deemed inland bills, but without affecting e Queen's dominions, and payable there , those who p duties. And as to the rights and remedies of have done repairs to ships, or furnished suppliesthem, every port in the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, for a e r c e tin e g n the Stem or other adjacent islands within the Queen's dominions, is to be deemed a Home Port. Important improve ments, also, are effected in the Statutes of Limitations, and thers relate to the law of debtor an d creditor, principal and agent, and co-contractors, and co-debtors, whether liable jointly only, or jointly and severallys goods , Another valuable section protects persons bona fide, and for a valuable c ons id era ti o n acquiring a title to 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 goods 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 undo livered, and w h a t th e pl a i n tiff would have had to r if they had been delivered according to contract ' • as well rs what da mages h e wou ld h ave b een en titled to receive, if the goods should, or should not, be afterwards delivered in conformity with the act : which provides that the j ridge may order execution to issue for the goods, on payment of the sum due, without giving the defendant the option of retaining them, as payment of the damages ; and, if the goods cannot be found, then all the lauds 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 valae or damages, out of the defendant's goods. Gentle men, even as far as I have gone, and assuring you that 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 liament has not been idle during the last session; and, speaking solely as an administrator of the law, I deprecate excessive, far more anxiously than deficient, legislative action in matters of such magnitude as those I have just been laying before you. Inconsiderate legisla tion serves only to plunder the public, and enrich lawyers —whether they will or not ! I have not yet, ho waver, closed my catalogue of th e l a b ours o f P ar li ament during the last session. There remains one more yet—the 19th and 20th see., chap.loo—to bring before you, and I have reserved it for the last, because of its supreme interest and importance both in itself, and as forming one of three statutes, passed respectively in the ye ars 1854 , 1 855, and 1856—a1l of which it declares are to be read as one act, which together con stitute what, I think, may be regarded as the glorious code have these word s ! i n di ca ti ng, as they do, the grand corn of reformatory proc e d ure . Wh at a fresh and blessed sound mencetnent of a moral and social revolution, and the working of which will go on producing its glorious results, year after year more and more glorious ; and when you and 1 have laid our heads iu kindred dust, those who supply our places will bless the m emory o f all who were in any way connected with this movement, for this regeneration of vast sections of our species. Gentlemen, I wish to lay 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 to give you, in very few words, the substantial result of the three statutes to which I have referred—the 17th and 18th Vic. c. 86, the 18 and 19 Vic. c. 109, and the 19 and 20 Vic. c. 109. On application by the managers of any reformatory insti tution, the Home Secretary may direct one of the prison inspectors to examine and report oA . ita constitution and regulations; and, if satisfied on this subject, may certify its usefulness and efficiency—and may afterwards, also, if need be at any time, 'withdraw such ceitificate. 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 Reformatory School as may be wil ling to receive him, and as the court may, before the ex piration of that sentence, direct, and by supplemental or der, the Court may substitute any other such school. If, however, the parent, guardian, or nearest relation of the youthful offender, shad withi n 14 d a ys, duly object to that particular school, an d name anot h er, th e directors of which are willing to rec e i ve hi m, an d pay or give security for the ad litional exp ense o f removal, then h e ma y be sent to such other school. Th e governor o f the gao l mus t forward with the prisoner a duplicate or copy of the commitment, with a memorandum identifying him, The Home Secretary may remove him from one school to another, 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 Parliament for that purpose, the whole cost of the care and maintenance of the offender, or such portion as shall not have been recovered from the parents ; who (including step-parents), are liable, if of sufficient ability, to contribute such sum, not exceeding ss. a-week, as any two justices, on complaint of the Home Secretary, may order ' enforced by di s t ress, or i m p r isonment not ex ceeding 10 days. The Home Secretary, however, may from time to time remit all or any portion of such weekly con tributions. Here I may say that the Government has re cently and liberally raised its allowance from ss. to 7e. 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 5/. 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 will shortly be studded with them.. For my part, I wouid sooner see one reforma tory, making its sternly simple appearance, than 'the most gorgeous and magnificent edifice that could be constracted by the skill of man, for the purpose of van's glorification —of material display, or eortimemorating the proudest . achievements of even genius or valour. Let us take heart of grice, gentlemen; depend upon it, we are 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 meetin g in a southern county. The Refor matory system aim s a t 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 contributo to the cost of his child's re- foraiation'.. It unites Goyernment inspection and national aid, with private effort 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 synapathies;of your nature, and conjure you to give your personal assistance to this ever memor able movement. Lose not a day in linking yoursel with it ; nor be uneasy if at first these links be few and slight. They will soon increase in number and strength, as you perceive the results which are being effected, and feel the rays of heavenly approbation which they reflect upon you. Give your social influence, give the eloquence of your voice; give of the substance with which a graci ous, b ut watchful and just 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 treasury. I implore you, from this seat of solemn judicial authority. I implore the inhabi t sn tsof 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, han g i ng like a mill-stone round the neck of the nation. Oh that one could loosen it, that our eyes could be gladden:l by see* ing it at length being detached! It is a work which ought to commend itself to your religious 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 acknowled ge and publicly profess themselves the servants and ministers of gim, the 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 tliern take heed that tkey fulfil it. Gentlemen, 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 th a t 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 the age, of all ranks, callings, and parties, ut tered on 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, a good master has been obtained, whose heart is in his work. He is a clergyman, and what did he say the other day at York, in giving his interesting account of their doings ? After alluding to the difference in character among the boys, requiring a judicious variation of treatment, he observed, `f but there is one feature common to them all— they are all estranged from God." Ah, there we see the root of the whole matter—the source of the evil ; and what is clearer than the remedy—earlyreligious education ? On this subject my convictions are so profound that it requires a strong effort to restrain my expressions of them—my rokte ratel, my solemn, my affectionate expression of them. But I do restrain myself,and conclude by assuring you that when far away from you, since the last sessions, my heart exulted at seeing the noble effor ;; made by the working classes of one important district here to contribute to the establish. meat 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 youder Bar—to the prison, to the hulks, to the gallows, to Hell. Gentlemen, since my a rr i va l h ere l as t night, I have read 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 harmaaious action, en deavouring 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. dThe 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 kayo 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. TBE FATAL ACCIDENT AT BbYN- !RALLY MINE. r e3 T o h y e e r bo ed d , i e s The of f t r wa e t e e r m , e s n p e a a n: W d i n a boy g a g E e X :h r a a v l i length w ° a c s T g been 02t5 .out on Thursday, and on the afternoon of that day a descent was made into the pit, under the superintendence of galdcroft, 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 chake 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 accident.. The body of Ishmael Grif f iths was brought to the surface at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, and the bodies of Edward Curnah, Stephen' Davies, and the boy, Samuel Parry, were brought up this morning. 1 hese 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 o me few minutes, and when they reached the place of outlet found themselves cut off from those means of es ca p e which numbers of their comrades happily obtai ned. Th e barrier which interposed water : fl t e i fling—somewhere g ; a n s o d b r a e t may. be reasonably inferred t hat he attempted to pass through ,t. The other three bodies wt ri found a t th e s w cv e h G e e nrr ffi them ths' betw een a nd body three s a f ety was comparatively and five feet o f had een in wat er , i t edge of the mark wt ere the water had wtained 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 rapid is the decompo sition consequent on exposure to the atmosphere that they can hardly be said to be so at the present moment. The inundation washed into the deep level a maes of rubbish, either from the old mine or from unused work in 4s of the Bryn-Maily Mine, which must be cleared out before the other 9 bodies can be recovered, and this ope ra:ion, which has been proceeding since Thursday, may occupy three or krir days longer. So strong is the flue,nee of hope in the minds of these simple people that even now some of the bereaved survivors cherish the thought that they will recover their relatives alive, al. though all the others had far less chance of life than these four whose bodies have been brought up, because of the greater amount of choke damp known to prevail in the localities where they were working. Some idea of the magnitude of the damage caused by the accident may he gathEred from the fact that the deep levels will not be in a state to allow of coal being raised from them until long after. .Christmas. An influential meeting of the clergy and principal in habitants was held at the Town-hall yesterday, the vicar (Rev'. G. Cunliffe) in the chair, when a Louse-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. Pinneger, had an interview on Saturday with Mr. Wilson, at the Treasury, regarding the estaulishmen.t of telegraphic communication between Europe and India, via Seleucia, the Euphrates, and the Persian Gulf. The valuable co-operation of Mr. O'Shaughnes.sy with Mr. Andrew augurs well for the success of this important undertaking. COMMUNICATION WITH AUSTR A LIA THE AUSTRALIAN AUXILIARY STEAM CLIPPER COMPANY. The directors of this company, incorporated tender the Joint Stock Companies Act (1856), for the purpose of facilitating communication between this country and Australia, by means 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 connected with the colonial trade, to inspect their splendid vessel, the Istanboul, now lying in the Victoria Dock. The Istanboul is a clipper ship of 1,470 tons register, and upwards of 2,000 tons burden. She was built by Pyle, of Sunderland, and is considered to be a master piece of naval architecture. The engines, constructed on the best principles, are of 100 horse power, and her propelling a gen t i s the screw. She is 230 feet long by 36 feet 6 inches beam, 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 and , 1,400 tons, and is under orders to sail from London on the 10th of November, and from Plymouth 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 confidently antici pated that she will make the outward jeurney in 60 days. and accomplish the return voyage in about 60 or 70. She is in al). 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 all her cabins are engaged by passen gers proceeding to the colony, The vessel was gaily decorated yesterday, and pre sented a very pretty appearance. The ships in the Victoria Docks displayed all their bunting to do honour to the occasion, and a 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, wera 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 covers were laid for 300 persons. 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, Kr. Sheriff Keats, Mr. ex-Sheriff Rose, Mr. W. Lindsay, M.P., Sir Joseph Paxton, M.P., and other gentlemen largely connected with the shipping in terest. _ After the cloth was removed, The-Loan MAYOR, in proposing "The health of her Majesty," observed that he felt grateful to the directors of the company for having afforded him 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, and so long might it be said of the Sovereign of Great Britain that she was the Sove reign of the Seas. " The health of Prince Albert and the rest of the Royal Family" having been given and responded to, The CHAIRMAN , in proposing " The Army and Navy," observed that - wehad been lately engaged in an 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 mercantite 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 Istanboul fitted out by private enterprise, for he was assured that whether in peace or in 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 in 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 Loup MAYOR next gave "Prosperity to the Aus tralian Auxiliary Steam Clipper Company," and observed that the cecasion on which they were met was one 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 a few yeara ago as a place to which those who had 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 bad 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. The recent discoveries of gold in the colony had given a wonderful impetus to trade, and bad caused a cry for quick communication. Several com panies 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 promote a rapid postal commu nication with Australia. Great steam ships were built for the purpose, but when the war broke 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 were 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 t eeo coun tries, as the vessels proposed to be employed would be 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 ene,.considered it was a duty to stimulate such persons by kind words and public countenance, and therefore it was that he 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 such men must be good subj e ct s and good citizens, he had great pleasure in proposing prosperity to the company. (Applause.) Mr. Gooca 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-ships were the best mode of communication, and that some ex traordinary passages had been made by that description of vessel. They were, 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 use of full steam vessels, but these required that a large portion of their apace 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 he 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 two ships (such as the Istan boul) 62,0001; the horse-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 t4O 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 21. per ton, 3,900/.—that of the two ships, 6001. ; the cargo of the large ship, at 31. per ton, would produce 1,3501. ; that of tho two ships, 8,400/. The sailing expenses, 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 hdd bit.upon the right principle on which to work. They expected to make the passage from shore to shore with ex pedition and reasonable certainty, arid these considers done, they believed, would insure full cargoes and full passengers. (Hear.) The Istanboul had only beep in the Victoria Dock a fortnight, and she was lull to within a few tons of her cargo. Applications were also daily made for passages, and he had no doubt that by the 10th of November she would be a full ship. (Hear.) Mr. BROWN, in a highly complimentary speech, pro posed " The health of the Lard Mayor," and stated his belief that the right hon. gentleman had connected him self with a company which had started on a right prin ciplo, and which would, in cour e of time, prove one of the greatest navigation companies in the empire. (Hear.) The company was, metaphorically speaking, standing on the ahotildere of those which had preceded them. They saw -hat steam alone would not do, and that bails alon e would not do, and therefore they took steam and sail s together. (Hear, hear.) The LORE MAYOR acknowledged the compliment, end reminded the company that although be.appeared at that moment in full vigour the mantle was rapidly falling from his shoulders, and that on the very day when the Istanboul would spread her sails and turn her head to the New World, he would be no more. (Laughter.) He would then have to look back upon his career of office with gratitude to Almighty God, and to his fellow-citizens, for during that period he had not a single melancholy recollection to associate with the discharge of his im portant duties as first magistrate of the first city in the world. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MECHI then proposed "The Merchants of the City of London, and especially those connected with the Colonies." Mr. BROOKS returned thanks. The following toasts were afterwards given and duly honoured :—" The Corporation of the City of London and the Lord Mayor Elect." Mr. Alderman Finnis (Lord Mayor Elect) returned thanks. " The Shipping Interests of the Port of London," " The Government Departments connected with the Navy," the Directors and Lessees of the Victoria. Dock," to which Sir S. M. Peto responded. PRUSSIAN CIRCULAR. 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 already 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 abort duration. The republican authorities rePo vered possession of their ac , cendancy, and s l / 4 great nine; ber of royalists and their leaders were taken prisoners. Although the Government of the King must decline the responsibility of these events, the heart of his Mat jesty has not been the less sensibly affected 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 ropi alists at Neuchatel, the more imperative is the oblige; tion owned by our gracious sovereign to protect beforii 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 tie, that the prisoners should be treated with humanity Apart from the consideration that (looking at the latest intelligence which has reach e d us ) th e accom pli s h men t of the promise is more than doubtful, his Majesty , considered the setting at complete liberty of the prisoners as the only condition whose preliminary accomplisi wont will regulate the positla of his Majesty with respect to the negotiations for th'; definitive settlement of the Nett chat - el question. For it is in this preliminary that his Majesty will find a guarantee for the expectation hel out to him that, from the negotiations upon the futur situation of the principality of Neuchatel, will spring more satisfactory result than lias arisen therefrom up tb this date. I To prepare in this course for the discussion of ths whole matt , u-, his Majesty intends to make. the recelat events at Neuchatel the subject of a communication tb the Germanic Confederation, attaching thereto the pro position that the Confederation shall not only adhere to the Prot - icol of London, of May 24, 1852, but shall fu - ther insist, on its side, that the Helvetian Confederatio shall - set atliberty the royalist prisoners of Neuchate reserving itself for nacre serious measures against the Swiss Government according to the result of the latterly compliance with the requisitions addressed to it. Hie Majesty has a firm conviction that such a proFd sition will probably receive the unanimous adoption the Germanic Diet. It is a question of reclaiming an incontestable right, and placing the weight of Gertnani in the scale in favour of the authority of a German princS. None of the German Powers can wish to shrink fro& this undertaking, • But we consider it important to obtain an assurance On this point, before appealing to the Diet, by a confid - ntial understanding with the different German governments i 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 the proposition which, as I have already indicated, it is the intention of Prussi a s h or tly to submit to the Gek manic Confederation. R ceive, &c., MAiTEIIFFEL. MURDER OF A CHILD BY ITS MOTHER AT 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 years of age. The accused is described as an honest and industrious woman, who obtained her living as a laundress, and the father of the child was the husband of the accused's sister. It is believed that the latter was not aware of the intimacy which had subsisted between filer husband and her sister, and that the fear of the fact beihg 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 Nigh, 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 &Aid's father—a revelation which she declared bad never before passed her lips. From some cause or other it appears that she has recently Leen itn• pressed with the idea that Thigh 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 Bligh 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 labouring under the impression that Bligh had gone to London yesterday by the Sunday excursion train for the purpose of telling the sister. Nothing further i 4 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 l o d ger, i nto whose room she entered for the purpose of making some friend,y inquiry ; and nothing of an extraordinary nature was then noticed in her manner or app. , arance. From that time until shortly after seven she WFS not seen by any oite ; but at the latter hour the neighbourhood was alarmed by her screams. She had ran out of the house, and upon some of the neighbours coming towards her they aim ' 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 )or. The neighbours, on tthtering 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 boiy. A case-'tnife 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. Tne child was in her night clothes only, and appeared as though she had le t her bed but a short time. The unhappy woman, as soon as she was in the bands of the police, admitted htrguilt; but assigned no reason for the crime. From the first moment of her being taken into custody, however, she bas 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 Thigh, 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 for her ittle one. It has been assumed that she contemplated committing suicide after destroying the child, and that when she had executed the first portion of her plan ber 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. HARRISON, THE LEEDS WIZARD. Yesterday Henry Harrison was again brought up a t th e Leeds Court-house, charged with committing a rape up on Eliza Croft, and with obtaining money from her under false pretences. The inmost excitement 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 offence was committed between 6 and 7 on Friday night, the 17th just., and repeated the statement several times, saying that she was never at Harrison's house in the daytime, and that at the time the offence was cointnitz,ed 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 on 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 between 11 and 12 in the morni , tg, and that she and Harrison were upstairs for about 10 minutes, that white they were up stairs no noise or alarm was made, but that after Croft had gone she BaW 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 close c f the examination Mr. Ferns, on behalf of the prisoner, asked the bench if, after what they had heard, they thought there was any case ? The Bench replied that they thought there was, and should remand the prisoner until Thursday. On being remov ed f r om the dock the prisoner was hissed by b y remained a outside - some greatnumber outsid of women tam eto obtain in the gallery, a ufl gt an p l e the crowd of him, in which, however, they were disappointed. DUBLIN, 'MONDAY MOR'I, ENCUMBERED ESTATES COURT. A moderate Conservative journal .(the Star) has some sensible remarks upon the r , social improvement effected through the agency the new land tribunal, and, adopting the maxim of "let well alone," cautions the Government not to sanction any meddling with the Encumbered Es tates Court, except in so far as to place it upon a firm basis as o!:e of the institutions of the coun try " The idea of removing one of its commissioners on the ground that his services are required in the Court of Exch-Auer is the merest moonshine ; but even if there were a pressure of business in that court much bet ter would it be to appoint another Baron and to leave the Encumbered Court intact. Fortunate wculd it be for both England and Scotl an d if th e i r enc u mb ere d land owners had similar courts to appeal to, instead of haviiig to„ineet the heavy costs and the ' law's delay' under the present system. But wl.atever opinion may be enter tained upon the , übjtct across the Channel or north of the Tweed, the Encumbered Estates Court was the true panacea for this country ; and however Government or the Legislature may act in the premises it will ever be proudly associated with that period of Ireland's history when she emerged from a state of misery and discontent to one which only required a few years longer continu ance to render her 'the envy of surrounding nations,'. -L. aye, and the ' admiration of the world' to boot. Once again we say no experiment with this court." Among the petitions presented to the Court last week was one for the sale of another property of the late John Sadleir, the yearly value of which was of the unpretending amount of 2091. 15s. 9d., charged with encumbrances to the extentof3ls,oool. The total amount of net rentals posted for sales before the commissioners up to the 7th of February next reaches 69,000/. per annum, probably repre senting a capital of about 1,200,0001. A CONTUMACIOUS CORPORATION. Sir John Young, notwithstanding the ministers' money brawl, has not yet been silenced. The town, conned of Cork, which was the first to kick against the new act, bas succeeded in attracting the atten tion of the Government, and that not in a way the - fforst- to - tro coveted. A letter fromithe Orcrwa4oll- -. .citor to tlielown-elerk mentions the fact thit the corporation have omitted to levy three half-yearly instalments of ministers' money for the Ecclesiasti cal Commissioner (the new paymasters of the clergy), and intimates that an information will be - exhibited - in the Court of Exchequer against the corporation on the first day of next term (the 3d of November) at the suit of the Crown, unless the demand be forthwith paid. • DUBLIN CUSTOMS' DITTIES. 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 80,381/., and on the two years 117,155/. Between the years 1853 and 1854 a decrease of 73,000/. occurred, principally owing is-the reduction in the itea duties, the amount re ceived from that article having sunk from 373,000/. to 320,0001. It has now., in consequence of the imposition of the war duty, reverted to as nearly as possible the original amount. In the sum re ceived on sugar there has been a large increase. We subjoin the total amount's received for the years ending the 10th of October, 1853, and the 30th of September, 1856 : • 1853. 1856. Tea Mu , covado sugar Refined sugar 36,605 ... 46,653 ' Coffee Wine Spirits 32,232 ... 35,558 Tobacco - Colier articles 42,138 ... 32,362 £950.278 ... £094,53G l?;,The amount re ce i ve d i n t h e year j ust en d e d i s arger than at any period since Sir Robert Peel revised the tariff in 1847. From 1844 to 1846 the duties exceeded 1,000,0u0/. annually. THe GREAT INDIAN PENINSULA RAILWAY. Tho fourteenth half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in this company was held at the Lond.,n Tavern yester day ; Mr. W. J. Hamilton, chairniau of the board of tii reetmrF, in the chair. Mr. NICHOLSON, the superintending director, read the report, which has already appeared in The Sun. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said hs to-k was an agreeable one. They would recollect on a former occ.t , ion I ha . their then chairman spoke of the immense advantages of rail Nays to the Indian govern ment in the facilities they affirded fur the transport of troops, and stated that a detachment which formerly took 7 or 8 days to relieve, had by the instrumentality of the railway been relieved in one day. On the present oc• casion he was enabled to give another illustration of the great benefits which the railway conferred. For some weeks previous to the setting in of the monsoon there was a great Fcarcity of water in Bombay, and by 177:3U8 of the railway 60,000 gallons of water a clay were introduced into the town of Bombay and its iannediate neighbouraood, to the great relief of 200,000 i f the poorer classes of the population. Toe railway carried the water at a very low rate of charge, but at the same time incurred no loss, for they received during those eight weeks 1.0,000 rupees. Tire progre•sive diminution of the per ceutage on the working expenses was very satisfactory, a year and a half having reduced theta trona 86 to 41 per cent. From a statement which they had already received, they were nuatile.d 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 profit, would exceed those of the present half-year as much as the latter exeeeded those of the preceding one. The surveys were also pro ceeding very satisfactorily, and it was impossible to s:eak too highly of the great exertions of the contractors. On the line from Campole, including the Ghauts, to Poonah, they had upwards of 30,000 natives at work, and beyond Poonah they had nearly completed an addi tiotial 60 miles, bat te-me time would elapse before the geutral line up the G,auts would ho in a state to carry the traffic up to Poonah. Arrangements, however, had been wade for carrying the rails up the G-oauts instead of waiting till the first portion was completed, and there was r,asan to believe that within a short period a por tion (.f the line would be open f, r traffic above the moun tathien hisses.

In the other direction, fe-am Nagpore to Wassind, they would Open a coal and iron district. At present they were paying no less than 40 . a ton for coals. The East _..... la;ha;"; Railway, whicit opened a coal field in their the tiict, gut coal for 8-. a too, and he sa N no reason why this company ehouid not get it equally cheap. There WW I another subject which he wished to refer to. In the Railway Record some alarm was expressed in con sequence ut an intimation that it was the intention of Government to suspend pubic works, and an idea had gone abroad that under public works was included great railway undertakings. Ile was happy to take the op portunity of stating that under the head of public works railways carried un by private companies were not in cluded.. • A SHAREHOLDER asked, in reference to a letter which bad appeareil in that morning's papers, whether a line which had been conceded partly to this and partly to another c , :rapany, was a new line, or was it a line for Which this company had rai , ed an additional million ? The CHAIRMAN said it had nothing to do with the mil lion, but it. referred to a line to Jubbulpore, where their and the East . ralian Rail ..ay would have to meet. Tney would want ad itional capital L.r it. the SHAREHOLDER asked what amount of additional shares wi , ulo he issued ? 'Eno CHAIRMAN repli d that he could not state, but the directors would take care to have the guarantee of the East India Company, ar d the present shareholders would Lave the Option of taking ice new shares. Mr. NicHoLsorr said an individual might answer a question with , ,ut the board being committed. The 1, 103 miles which they had the sanction of the East India Company to make would he constructed complete, in cluding station and rolling stock, and every i te m of perse, f or. t en millions, and that they bad now four mil lions of capital. Therefore, it was easy to come to a con elusion as to bow much more they would want. votea The resolution thanks twas thed then r u t, t ( u ais the intere s t s the company having been pa ssed, meeting separated. aiin f () o u ; l t Y h their r a e t e t d en t t o io n tale t j do in A th n eNov., ecxbterdreindatryangkenoefrAaltinae;3sticanglleodf ftuhretshhear3eihoNldoevra when the directors will submit a resolution recommend . e o ß r e ge ing that the company he wound up.
