The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woo : sack at fire o'clock. CHURCH RATES, Petitions against the abolition of Church rates were presented by the Bishop of Llandaff. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Sussex praying for their total abolition. THE FALL OF KARS. Lord MALMESBURY said that as it was understood the armistice which had been agreed to would expire on the 31st of March, unless a peace was agreed to before- hand, and as it was most probable that the noble lord the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs would be soon afterwards in his place, he gave notice that soon after the Easter holidays he should call the attention of their lordships to the facts referred to in the correspondence that had taken place on the subject of the liege and fall of Kars. The Earl of ELLENBOROJGH wished also to call the attention of the Lord President of the Council to the necessity of furnishing the house with further information. He observed at the 13th page of the cor respondence a statement was made of the claim of Gen. Williams to have had a decisive voice in the pur• chase of provisions for the Turkish army then at Kars. The precise letter was, however, omitted. There was also in many parts of the correspon dence a fact stated as to the guarantee for prompt payment for the required supplies having been tendered by General Williams. The letters authorising such guarantee were also omitted. At the end of the report there was also several allusions made to the expedition to Kertch, but the correspon dence upon that point did not appear. He submitted that it was necessary to have all these omissions supplied before they could properly discuss the subject. Lord GRANVILLE said he would make inquiry on the subject. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE expressed a hope that the noble earl who had given notice on the subject of Kars would inform the house more distinctly as to the nature of the motion he intended to bring forward, ina4much as the notice he had given was very indefinite. The Earl of MALMESBURY said his intention was to call attention to the subject, and to express his own opinions as to the cause of the disastrous fall of Kars. LEASES BY SALES OF SETTLED ESTATES. On the motion for the recommitment of this bill, Lord ST. LEONARDS rose to call the attention of the house to the steps taken by her Majesty's Govern. ment for improving the law and the administration of it. The noble and learned lord after briefly describing the constitution of the Equity Courts in this country and Ireland, and the alterations which bad from time to time been made in it, together with the operation of such changes, proceeded to explain the rights conferred by the law in the disposal of:property, and he proceeded to show in what manner it was affected by the bill before their lordships. It bad been proposed to extend tbii bill to Ireland, but he strongly pressed it upon their lordships not to carry such a bill until a separate mea sure had been prepared for Ireland, and then introduced into this and the other house of Parliament. The cir cninstances of the two countries were very different as regarded this question, and it was impossible in the ex isting state of the law in both countries to render one measure on the subject properly effective. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS —(This Evening.) The SPZAKSR tack the chair at the usual hour. NEW MEMBER. Mr. H. INGRAM took the oaths and his seat for B iston. Sir J. TROLLOPE presented a petition from Spald ing against the recommendations of the Charity Com• missionera Sir J. GRAHAM presented a petition from Carlisle in favour of medical reform. Mr. SCHOLEFIEI.O presented a petition from Bir mingham against the Police Bill. Several petitions were presented against the abolition of Church rates until an equivalent had been provided, and also against the opening of the British Museum and National Gallery on Sundays. Mr. WILSON brought up the Navy Estimates. MORTALITY IN THE CRIMEA. Viscount E BRINGTON gave notice that on au early day he should move a resolution to the effect that the excessive mortality in the Cimea had ,been occasioned through bad sanitary regulations. OUR RELATIONS WITH AMERICA. Sir E. B. LYTTON gave notice that immediately after the Easter recess he should call the attention of the hoes ] to the state of our relations with America. LORD PANMURE'S DESPATCH. Sir DE L. EVANS said, in consequence of a state ment that had appeared that the Government would have no objection to lay on the table of the house a copy of the despatch to which he bad referred, and also that the despatch would be found highly creditable to Lord Panmure, he begged to ask her Majesty's Government whether there wonldibe any objection to its production. Lord PALMERSTON said he held in bis hand a copy of the telegraphi c despatch to whi c h th e ga ll an t mem b er had referred. The despatch was a long one, and con tained matters that it woul I not be prudent t ) make public. The hon. and gallant member could, however, himself see it. The words of Lord Panmure relating to Captain Dowbiggin were "I recommend young Dow- I3iggin to your attention, if fit, and you have a vacancy. CHURCH RATES. Sir J. PAKINGTON asked whether, as they had read the bill for the a b o li tion of Church , rates a second time, there would be any objection to order returns to be made of how much h i been received from Church rates from certain parishes for the last ten years. formation was greatly wanted on the subject. Sir GEORGE GREY said a return similar to that now asked for by the honourable baronet bad been made some time ago. The return in question took a considerable time in preparing in consequence of the Government possessing no power to compel the pa r i s h es to make the returns wanted. If the returns would not meet the view of the bon. member, he would have no objection to an appendix to it being made, and at the same time an endeavour would be made to obtain the information asked for. ST. PANCRAS WORKHOUSE. Sir J. PAKINGTON asked the President of the Poor Law Board what steps had been taken to carry out the report of D. Jones with respect to the state of St. Pancras Arcikhouse. Mr. BOUVERIE said he had directed the report in question to be transmitted to the managers of the poor a.. St. Pancras. That body had since been changed by their local acts, but active steps were now being taken to ameliorate the condition of the inmates and improve the workhouse of the parish of St. Pancras. POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS WITH SPAIN. In reply to a question from Mr. OLIVEIRA, Mr. WILSON said that negotiations were in pro. gress with reference to postal arrangements with Spain, but they were not in a sufficiently advanced stage to be presented to the house. JUVENILE CRIMES. In reply to a question, Mr. SCOTT said that on Thursday he in tended to have brought a motion on with reference to juvenile crime ca. Thursday next ; but as it was doubtful whether he cou:d bring it on on that day, he sho old do so as soon as possible after Easter. He in- Vaded then to move for a select committee to inquire into the increase of crime amongst juveniles aad females. SALARIES OF CUSTOMS OFFICERS. Sir S. NORTHCOTE asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether any petition had been received by the Treasury 'on ,the Board of Customs from the officer in the depot of the Receiver-General of Customs for an increase of their salaries in consequence of their official labours, whether any answer had been re turned to that petition, and whether there would be any objection to lay the papers on the table of the house ? Mr. WILSON considered, under all the circumstances, it would not be desirable to lay the correspondence on the table of the house. BAY ISLANDS. In answer to a que;tionTromMr.M. GIBSON, Mr. LABOUCHERE said that the warrant constitut ing the islands in Honduras Bay into a colohy under the name of Bay Islands, was dated March, 1852, and the first appointment of a presiding magistrate was datesi Aug. 5,1852. LOCAL DUES ON SHIPPING. In answer to a question from Sir F. THESIGEB, Lord PALMERSTON said that he proposed to move the appointment of the committee on the Local Dues on Shipping Bill on Thursday next, and as the motion of the learned gentleman ap peared to meet the views of the Government with refer ence to the duties of that committee, he intended to adopt it. POLICE COUNTIES AND BOROUGH BILL. Sir G. GREY moved the second reading of this bill, and, in doing so, said that although he most fully stated the principle and objects of this bill when he introduced it, much misconception prevailed in the country with regard to its principle and its objects. A de termined opposition having been organised by a large and influential class of the community, not against any particular clause, but against the bill itself, he repeated the grounds on which he introduced the bill, and which had induced the Government to deal with this question, in order, if possible, to remove that misconception. Several alterations, which would not, however, affect the principle or the efficiency of the b►ll had been made with the view, if possible, of making it more palatable to the commu nity at large, and secure to the country a more efficient body of police than at present existed. The right hon. baronet then read at great length extracts from the re ports of the committees appointed in 1852 to inquire into the state of the police force throughout the country, and the evidence taken by them, in support of the present measure, which had been founded thereon. He considered the house was disposed to sanction a bill for the improvement of the police force as laiddown by that committee, which did not infringe on the local control and management of that force, and with which it was not his intention to interfere. (Hear.) The right hon. gentleman next adverted to the present unsatisfactory state of the police force, and in stanced the alarm that pervaded the county of Surrey, in consequence of the existence of the " Frimley gang," who committed depredations with impunity from there being no police force in that county at the time of its existence, and be asked the house if it were not better to establish a force at once throughout the country than wait until some dreadful act was committed in each of the counties now without a force (as was the case in the county of Surrey by the gang to which he had alluded) before they esta blished it ? Nothi❑g could be more unsatisfactory than the present system—that of a force being established in one county and not in another, whereby the worst descriptions of characters were able to locate them saves in one county, and commit depredations with impunity. He proceeded next to combat the opinion that the Government wished to interfere with local self-government in boroughs, and that in so doing they were invading the principle of the Municipal Re form Act, and said that by that act the boroughs were bound to return quarterly the state of their police forces to the Secretary of State. Only a few extra powers had been sought for by this bill, and he was at a loss to understand why such an outcry had been raised on this interference, whilst no objection was made to the ;prisons of Boroughs and Counties being under the 'control of the Secretary of State. As the prosecution of felons and their mainten ance after conviction were paid by the country gene rally, be thought it only reasonable that the secretary of State should have some control over the police force, with a view to effecting suchimprovements as would lead to the diminution of crime.

THE WRECK SUPPOSED TO HAVE BELONGED TO THE PACIFIC.—The following notice was posted in the un derwriters' rooms this forenoon :—Glasgow, 7th March. The pieces of wreck, seen by the Edinburgh (S.S.) on the ice, were in lat. 46 N., long. 46 W., and not in lat. 41 N., long. 46 W., as reported on the 29th of February. The new entrance to Sunderland Docks was opened for the movements of ships on Wednesday. The open ing of the ponderous iron bridge which extends across the entrance near the gate, and in 60 feet wide, was a great attraction. It is moved by hydraulic power, and travels on a railway to the north side on opening. SISTERS OF CHARITY IN WORKHOUSES.—On Friday, at a meeting of the Marylebone board of guardians, the Rev. Mr. Moody. chaplain to the workhouse, was summoned before the hoard to answer inquiries respect ing permission conceded by him to two Sistars of Charity belonging to the Roman Catholic persuasion to ♦isit the inmates of that persuasion, without an express order from the board. Mr. Moody stated that the ladies in question attended at the wish of their clergy to give the inmates spiritual consolation, and they did not in terfere with any save those of their own persuasion. He hoped the board would be liberal in such matters. The ladies had effected much good in instructing the poor creatures, and in teaching them to be better behaved. Dr. Russell, Mr. Stapleton, the Rev. Mr. Scobell, and other guardians objected to the admission of the Sisters of Charity ; and after a long discussion, Dr. Russell moved "That ladies being members of the Roman Ca tholic Church be admitted into the workhouse, subject to the same terms and conditions as other ladies of various religions denominations." In doing so he ex plained that by that rule the right of admission would be vested in the members of the board alone. Mr. Sta pleton seconded the resolution, which was carried. The board then adjourned. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills an Extraordi nary Remedy for the Cure of Bile and Liver Complaints. —Copy of a letter from Mr. W.

ADvERTISEMENT.J—UitiI the introduction, by Mr. Du Barry, of the Revalenta Xrabica Food, both as a regimen fey invalids and infants, and a remedy for all disorders connected with the stomach, nerves, kidneys, liver, and intestines gene rally, it might have been asserted, with truth, that the treat ment of patients, in some of the most obstinate, harassing, and painful coinplaints, to which the human frame is liable, wan one desperate game of hap-hazard—different practition ers playing off different systems, involving indescribable suffer ing and expense, and ending in failure. All this is now hap pily changed. Without laying out money in doctor's bills, without enduring the horrors of "doctor's stuff," but sim ply by the adoption of a pleasant and palatable restora tive food, disease is banished, and h ea lth an d ac ti v it y take its place. It is on no mere theory that these things are asserted. When fifty thousand persons are referred to, each of whomhas separately described the wondrous healing effect of the preparation in an infinite variety of maladies, the theory re selves itself into ascertained and demonstrated fact—a fact neither to be hushed up, nor explained away on any ether ground than that of the unparalleled efficacy of the Revalenta Arabica Food, in extirpating almost every description of mor bid action or condition from the system. The public are na turally "slow" in awakenin g t o an appreciation of a new and of things; has much eXCUS3 there is f or thi s slownes s,anlex p ec tation been baulk e d by th e pro tensions of contending theorists. Here, however we have before us proof of the most p os i tive and complete kind which can be conceived by human reason, and coming from such a multiplicity of sources as show the te s ti monials received to be each the genuine outpouring of joyful gratitude. An advertise ment, which appears in our paper of to-day, contains a short resume of a few of the letters of thanks, which constitute altogether inch a body of undeniable evidence as was never before brought together upon any subject what ever, and form a noble national monument in illustration of the maxim—" Honour to him to whom honour is due," In canisters, 51bs. lls.; 121b5., 225.

THE SABBATH, THE CHURCH, AND THE PEOPLE. I then complain that the Church is what we ourselves I have made it. They are r i g ht i n b e i ng t enac i ous about the Sabbath-day. It is their only present available instrument for making religion a habit of the mind, and for training the young to that cus tom of thinking of death, the great hereafter and the Creator, which becomes a second nature in after years ; and which, altheu,gli in childhood it seems to make little impression, affixes an indelible stamp of graver thought in all their elder life. Rather than break in upon this day we would make use of Sabbatarians to secure more holidays for the labouring people, more rest and leisure for all, without which, we are persuaded, little can be done to advance the moral and spiritual culture of the nation. That this is our chief want we have laboured to show ; that it cannot be supplied by mere intellectual education we trust we have de monstrated. Religion and morals must evidently be brought home to all in a less merely theological and devotional form. There should be lecture and reading rooms in every parish, andour most eloquent thinkers, our most subtle, varied, and persuasive speakers ought to be sent abroad among our people to popularise ethics, to give "beauty to holiness," so to charm and interest all in the good, true, and beautiful, that " they that come to scoff may re main to pray." Perhaps it would be well so to secularise the pulpit—so to separate the sacerdotal from the prophetic function—that our best and wisest laymen should be freely admitted to our ecclesiastical rostra, to talk face to face with their countrymen on the subject of deepest significance to all. Jk more paternal character should be given to the relation of the State to the young. Every child should be cared for and trained in the way he should go. The country should see that this is done, and do it where it is neglected. Every Offence committed by boyhood and girlhood—by the simple and inexperienced—should be corrected as a parent would, and not exaggerated into a police offence until hope of reformation is lost by the utter destruction of self-respect which follows the degradation and exposure which are inse parable from contact with the constable. The chief want of our time and country—espe cially of our Protestantism—is the low state of our moral attainment and ethical tastes. Phy sical appliances can do little for these. We have them now; they are misapplied, wasted, and abused, just because there are not virtue and piety enough among us to " use as not abusing" them. The vir tuous, moral, and provident now surround them selves with all these agencies ; they are the effects and results rather than the causes of virtue. The inequalities of condition and wealth have the same origin ; were we more moral we would be more equal. The startling contrasts of splendour and squalid wretchedness are not found among a right eous people " zealous of good works." We call, then, for education of the heart and soul of the masses by the example, the neighbourliness, the kindly intercourse of their betters ; we would pare chialise the labours of philanthropy by each one of us charging ourselves with the improvement of our district; we would make the moral progress of our parish the clearest duty and first concern of its parish ioners, entitling each to demand as a social obligation the co-operation of all; we would give our clergy powers of self-government, and demand of thorn much higher rhetorical qualifications ; we would have more time set apart to recreation and reflec tion, and we would press into the service of moral instruction, all who were capable by their talents and character of aiding in the good work, whatever be their creed or their secular calling. The state of our times and the condition of society call aloud for instant remedy ; let every man toil in the field as if the harvest were his own. (From the Times of this day.) _ . The tale of Kars is soon told. The papers now published cannot be said to add much to what was known or might have been divined before. The history of the British officers seems merely one long struggle against an inevitable destiny. The year 1855 commenced gloomily for them. In the depth of winter, amid the snows of a mountainous region, General Williams continues his recommendations and reforms at Erzeroum. Here he receives from Lord Clarendon the despatch in which the Am bassador had defended his conduct. General Wil liams hastens to justify himself. " I was," he says, " within eleven hours' march of an intelli gent and disciplined enemy, he being flushed by , victory, and the Turks dispirited by defeat, de jected by starvation and the infamous conduct of their Mushir and officers." Lord Stratford had urged as an excuse for silence that he knew " that during the winter season little comparatively could be done." General Williams points out that " the weather, instead of not admitting of military move ments, was open to such operations for many weeks after my arrival at Kars." Speaking after four months' experience, he declares that " such un accountable silence was highly dangerous to the public cause." " What," ho exclaims, "could I not have done in the shape of reform had even a note and an order from the Seraskier reached me by the return of the first Turkish post, which was then as regular in its arrival as that between Lon don and Constantinople !" " With regard to M. Pisani's answers on the success of his efforts, my reports show that the army of Kars remains without a single reform but that which has been worked by a Commissioner unacknowledged, though feared, by the base man who commanded it." Thus Gene ral Williams concludes his controversy with the Ambassador, nordoes he ever seek to recommence it. It is for the nation now to judge between them, General Williams after this time devotes his atten tion to two points--the provisioning of Kars and the removal of incompetent and delinquent officers. On February 10 he is able to announce to Lord Clarendon, " We have now in store at Kars bread for 50 days, barley for 90 days, rice for 10 days ; so that I have breathing -time to look round for contractors, and hope to avoid disgrace in the spring." The supply of p rov i s i ons i s of the most irregular kind, and both the commissariat and clothing departments furnished nefarious gains to the drunken and debauched chiefs of the army. General Williams endeavoured, though with very incomplete success, to obtain the authority neces sary for a reform. Spring advances, the Russians are on the alert, and the outposts of their nume rous army are appearing in the neighbourhood of Kars. The Commissioner is almost hopeless, and thus unfolds his griefs to Lord Clarendon. The date is April 24 :—" Neither the land carriage for the army of Kars nor the provisions for that force are to be had in sufficient quantities ; and I have this day received intelligence from Colonel Lake drawing my attention to these points, and, indeed, echoing the prayers which I have in vain addressed throughout the winter at Constantinople." The cavalry were without boots, horse appointments, or efficient sabres ; the infantry without knap sacks ; all were supplied with ammunition " far short of the exigencies of a campaign." " Surely," exclaims the Commissioner, " this army has keen I doomed to destruction at the Seraskierate !" Still he perseveres, and implores that the Governors of Diarbekir, Kharpoot, and other provinces should be ordered to forward corn to Erzeroum. Scurvy had appeared in Kars, and the Commissioner caused to be despatched without delay vegetables, vinegar, and wine. Thus was the health of the army strengthed for the terrible struggle which was shortly to begin. The General had just finished the fortification of Erzeroum. He had explained the necessity of the works to the Council, and induced both the Arme nian Bishop and his Mussulman colleagues to offer their assistance. In the mean time Colonel Lake was at work on the forts of Kars. On the let of May ) a month before the siege of Kars commenees, General Williams writes to the Ambassador : " Several weeks ago I addressed your lordship on the necessity of my having authority direct from Constantinople to take any active part and have a decisive voice in the purchase of provisions for the army ; and although Lord Panmure has expressed his decided sentiments on this vital point, I have not received a line in allusion to it from your Ex cellency ; and I have to state that this army can not be supplied with provisions without I can con trol those who have this matter in their hands." We search the blue-book, and are obliged to believe that this despatch meets the fate of its predeces sors. There is no answer from Lord Stratford do Redcliffe. Soon after Mouravieff is in the field General Williams hastens up to Kars, the enemy closes round, an d th e fi ve months of famine begin. As an episode we may lay before our readers a sketch of two Pashas with whom General Williams had to deal. It will be remembered that Lord Stratford, at his final rupture with the •Commis aioner, made a formal complaint of his behaviour towards his colleagues of the Ottoman force. Two of these gentlemen with whom the Ambassador thought that General Williams ought to have con tinued to " cultivate the most friendly relations" were named Shukri Pasha and Hussein Pasha. Ge neral Williams brought them to trial for treating him in an insulting manner in presence of the Coun cil and answering his questions with contempt. The military Court at Erzeroum arrives at the follow ing facts :—" It was notorious that the Pashas in question had given themselves up to such habitual drunkenness and dissipation that, besides having become a bad example to the Sultan's troops, they were never by day, in consequence of their noc turnal debauchery, in a fit state of mind to transact business." A low character was " constantly being called into council, and for hours ho and Shukri Pasha used to be whispering to each other the pro jects and arrangements of the ensuing night's en tertainment." As for Hussein Pasha, "he mad e no secret of his dissip a t e d con d uct, and on one oc casion the people of his quarter of the town were exasperated to such a degree that they would actu ally have made an attack on his house ;" but the Mushir was about to arrive, and they determined to wait and complain to him. Such were the wretches whom Lord Stratford, who knows them as well as any man, pretends to believe it a crime of General Williams to treat with firmness ! Why should we carry any further the degrading history ? But a few days before General Williams quitted Erzeroum to take his stand at Kars lie writes to his earnest and unfailing supporter, Lord Clarendon. The story is the old one. His first sentence begins, " I regret to inform your Lord ship of the continued neglect at Constantinople." The cavalry are now destitute even of slippers, the greater portion of the men riding in stockings. The infantry are in the same plight. On the 7th of June General Williams enters Kars. The siege has begun. Food is wanting, of ammunition there is hardly any, of men there are few ; all that can be done is to endure with firmness, and how that garrison endured is now part of the world's history. As soon as Kars was invested, then the services of General Williams, the importance of the place he held, the value of his advice and remonstrances, were apparent to all. Europe, and more especially England, became interested. The British officers shut up in Kars required the utmost efforts of their country to save them. Then commenced the hurry and confusion of last autumn. Who did their duty, who was most active in that Babel of military advisers, we shall not discuss, since we believe that already the cause was lost. The differences between Omar Pacha and his colleagues in the Crimea, beween Lord Clarendon and Count Walewski, between Lord Stratford and the Seraskier, are of little mo ment. A few weeks before General Williams was writing in vain for the power of buying provisions and ordering boots. New, when London is begin ning to talk about Kars, the most magnificent military plans emanate from Therapia. An army of 40,000 men will at once march to the rescue. It is to be composed of Vivian's Contingent, Beatson's Bashi-Bazouks, garrisons from Batoum and Bulgaria, Albanians, Egyptian Regular Ca valry, and Tunis Horse. We next have a some what incomprehensible plan for landing 13,000 Kurds on the coast. In August it is debated whe ther the army shall go. Some are for a direct march to Kars—others for a diversion in Russian territory. The latter plan, as we know, was thought preferable, and the campaign of Omar Pacha took place. The valour, and still more heroic endurance of the garrison, need no recapitu lation hero. Kars fell, and the fall will not soon be forgotten. We have now described the transactions which have been for so long the subject of somewhat cautious comment. It is some time, we believe, since the public has listened to any history more startling than the one which now stands revealed. We have but done our duty by presenting it in all its scandalous details. In the cause of justice, of national good faith, and of the public good, every right-thinking man must feel that inquiry and ex planation are necessary. General Williams, shat tered in health, is a prisoner in a distend land— his companions in suffering are also far away. In justice to these men, to the nation, and its allies, we have a right to demand that Parliament will (Prom tl. Dispatch.) Good. men and loyal patriots have been startled by the statement that crime has increased in this country sevenfold since the beginning of the cen tury. Within the year the philanthropist and the social philosopher have observed with dismay that selfishness and the greatest vices have crept up and up, to the very Corinthian capitals of civilised life, and that the higher, the highest classes, furnish an increased average of lawless outcasts. The pro gress of pauperism, which means the increase of venial vices, has not been so marked ; yet if greater intervals of our history be taken the resultS are not less calculated to suggest anxiety for the future. The average amount of poor and county rates in England in 1748-9.50 was 730,00e1. ; in 1848-9-50 it was upwards of 7,300,0001. In 1833-4 it reached 8,289,3481. In short, within the century the cost of the relief of the poor has been enlarged quite tenfold ! In all this time our national wealth has more than kept pace with these frightful phenomena. Indeed it has doubled within. thirty years ; and within 30 years before that it had quite trebled itself. Has our education, or what may be called mere logical intelligence, lagged behind ?History goes back to the time when barons signed Magna Charta with their mark ; when at the time of the Reformation people crowded to the churches to hear the Bible read by clerks, they themselves being totally unable to do so ; when so near us as the reign of Queen Anne our squires were far more ignorant than our me chanics are now. Our National, and British and Foreign, our Sunday and our Union Schools, at this time turn out more readers in a year than three centuries ago there were in the whole kingdom. Indeed our newspaper, magazine, review, and gene ral press prints off in one day as much food for the mind as 50 years ago it did in a year, or as 100 years ago it did in 20. This supply is an index to the demand. There is more 'print, simply because there are more readers. Besides, it is not found that it is to the ignorant classes that the advance in mendicancy and crime is confined. On the con trary, the more recent history of society points to increased depravityamong those further removed from the urgency of temptation into the higher influences of intelligence. The leader of the rebel angels was the highest in mental attainment ; his troops were dexterous theologians, and discussed foreknowledge, free-will, necessity, the origin of evil, but " found no end, in wandering mazes lost." It has been well observed that to teach men mere reading and writing is only to supply them with instruments whereby knowledge may be obtained ; but it has further to be noted that the mere educa tion of the intellect is also but the training of a tool which may be as efficient for mischief as for beneficence. It is but a rudder, which is nothing without the pilot's hand, and which may guide to peace and safety or to breakers and rocks, just as skill or folly takes the helm. Carlyle (on the whole the most profound and wisest man of our time and country) has laboured to show us all that logic is not wisdom ; that to know is merely one, and a very inferior element, of reason ; that the greatest truths are rather instincts of the heart than conclusions of the understanding ; and that the culture of the intellect can do no more than to enable the will to accomplish what it desires, but will do little towards directing it to desire what is best. It is in vain that science and art exist for brutes without discourse of reason. What is Mozart or Handel to men without an ear for music ? What is the finest painting to the many afflicted with Daltonism, the incapacity to distin guish colours ; what is poetry to the prosaic ? Sweet is the song of birds, the voice of girls, The lisp of children, and their earliest words. 'Tie sweet To hear at eve the honest house-dog's bark, And know there is an eye will mark Our coming, and look brighter when we come. But all these sweets are spread in vain to the wo man-hater, to those who are feebly endowed with philoprogenitiveness, to the fierce wandering Arabs insensible to the ties of home ; for, " behold," says the wisest, the kingdom of heaven is within you ;" and, adds the true poet, it is our own heart that— From all things that we hear and see, Extracts emotions beautiful and new. Alas, 'tie not in them, but in thy power To double e'en the sweetness of a flower. And thus, after having educated people to " read and write, and cast accounts ;" nay, after having built up a literature for them ; having infused a higher tone into •ur authors, and suffused through our broadsheets and our books a nobler and purer spirit of moral endeavour and attainment, we will find yet that we cast pearls before swine that turn again and rend us, because they are swine and not capable of preferring pearls to acorns. A poet or a moralist does not create poetry or virtue in us ; they merely, after all, give utterance, expression, and form to what must be in us already, else we will not understand them. Why do we admire them ? It is because there are in us emotions and sentiments which best respond to theirs ; because they but say what we feel, what we felt before they said it ; what, indeed, they but recal and revive with fresh vividness, and, perhaps, with more in tense development and better articulated splen dour. Unless, in like manner, intellect be informed, not only by the memory, by the ob sery ing faculties, by " casualty and compa rison," but by the passions, sentiments, and affec tions the product will be, not wisdom, b ecause it will not be the result of all the powers which nature implanted in us to inform and make up the judgment. Much more—if those passions and sentiments be unequally balanced,—if they be depraved, perverted, in desuetude, or in a state of abuse—the intellect will be wrongly informed and viciously directed by them. There can he no doubt about the " progress of the intellect" among us ; about the growth of education about the in crease of knowledge, the expansion of lit era t ure , the great gr ow th o f reading and readers. But there stands the fact plaid before us that, in con currence with these " wau'st improvements, Mawm !" as Cobbett sneered, crime has increased sevenfold and pauperism tenfold ; and behind all, the homely truth that " righteousness exalteth a nation," and that we, in the right sense, are not exalted. John Bull has, in that confused head of his, dimly perceived all this. He has not been able very intelligently to expound his convictions. There they are deep down in the very bottom of the lumber room of his mind. He bas taken hold of them—he will not let them go—he pays more for religion than all Europe besides—he stands by the Sabbath-dayas if it were in very deed the palladiu m of the constitution ; religionists trace our backslidings to the want of faith, and cry out "More Ceurch!" the doctrinaires and sceptics pronounce religion to be a failure, and ask for more reading and writing, cheaper literature, less beer, more recreation, im proved social economics, reform in the physical condition of the masses. Now, we confess our deep sympathy with the overwhelming testimony borne by the nation to their reverence for the Sunday. A national recognition of the fact that men are spiritual beings with a soul as well as sense that a time should be set apart by social convention for rest, sober recreation, moral and religious reflection, for the service of the in ward spirit, for moral culture and spiritual intro spection—that these privileges are a right, in the exercise of which every family should be pro tected by the law, we cannot doubt to be both an exalted sentiment in a nation and a wise arrange ment of civil society. That grievous injury has been been done to this good cause by the utterly false assertion that the Sabbath is a divinely en joined ordinance we cannot doubt ; and we have but to lament that the spirit of ritualism, the tendency to a formal and Judaising spirit, which the whole scope of the New Testament explodes, should still be so inveterate in the human heart that our Chris tian liberty, our free grace of piety, should be over laid by elevating a civil convention into the char acter of a miraculous ordinance and a Divine injunc tion ; and that we should be commanded to do that as a penal law which we should regard as a spiritual privilege, and be led to prize as a high franchise of the soul. The arguments which en foree the opening of places of rational recreation on Sunday will resolve themselves really into a de mand for more leisure for toil. The masses work too much and too long. Were wealth properly dis tributed, were the moral and spiritual culture of the people higher, were there less waste in vice and sensuality, in improvidence, it is certain that while industry would be more productive, and indi vidual and aggregate wealth would be much greater, there would be much more spare time left to all for the pursuit of health and recreation, and for the culture of the mind and heart. We should have fewer working hours—fewer slaves of endless toil. Women, wives, and mothers, at least, should not be drawn from their rdomestic duties to the field and the faotory. Proper provision for the com fortable, healthy, and decent housing of the poor should be enforced by the State. There should be many more holidays ; the combination of rational recreation with wise instruction should be greatly multiplied. Vire abuse the Church and the hierarchy. Who is to blame for the state of both ? They are what we make them. We refuse to the priesthood all power of self-government ; we make clergymen practically irresponsible. The highest rewards of the Establishment are made subservient to faction and civil polity ; our curates are starved ; our most earnest and devoted pastors are left without any power to work out the sugges tions of their philanthropy and zealous piety ; the drones get not only the honey, but the autho rity due only to the industrious and to those who have a solemn sense of their duty and its responsibilities. We suffer all this.ewe do it, and POISONING BY STRYCHNINE. An inquest was held on Friday at Fleischman's Hotel, Leeds, before Mr. Blackburn, on the body of Harriet Dove, aged 23, the wife of Mr. Wm. Dove, a gentleman of independent fortune, residing in Cardigan place, Burley, near Leeds, whose death had been caused by poisoning by strychnine. Mr. Barrett, solicitor, attended to watch the proceed ings, and Mr. Nunneley and Mr. Morley, surgeons, were also present during the whole of the day. From the evidence adduced it appeared that early in December last Mr. Morley was called to attend the deceased, and found her suffering from functional disorder of the sto mach and of the nervous system, bat there was no or ganic or serious disease. He prescribes for her and continued his visits occasionally, and in a short time she was so far recovered that she could move about freely, and take open air exercise up to the 28d. of Feb. when she became somewhat worse. On that day Mrs. Dove partook of some jelly, which ' had been taken to the house, and she complained that it was very bitter, and, on seeing her husband, she said, " William, did you put anything in that jelly ?" and he answered " Yes," I have put some of the medicine in it." She remarked fillet it was very unkind of him, and he subssquently stated to a neighbour named Mrs. Witham that he had not more than a teaspoonful in it. On Sueday, the 24th, she went to church, and was very well. On the following morning she breakfasted with her husband, and shortly afterwards she was seized with a very severe spasmodic attack, her b idy quivering as though under the influence of a galvanic shock, and ac companied with difficulty of breathing. She complained of pain in her legs, and grasped the bands of her at tendants very tightly. She refused to drink anything cold, and when she was touched, and when cold water was applied to her lips the " twitchings" returned. In the meantime Mr. Dave went for Mr. Morley, and re turned with that gentleman's assistant. At a later period of the day Mr. Morley called, and then found Mrs. Dove much better, but he observed slight spasmodic twitching. Tne symptoms were unusual, but he attributed them to nervous affection, and prescribed accordingly. These attacks recurred during the week, each succeeding at tack being accompanied by more violent symptoms, and generally occurr;ng after taking her medicine, which was usually given to ter by Mr. Dove. After Monday Mr. Morkly attended Mrs. Dove daily, and becoming perplexed with the symptoms, which he thought to have given way to the medicines he had or dered if they arose from hysteria, and Mr. Dove expres sing some fear as to the recovery of Mrs. Dove he sug gested a consultation with some other medical max. Mrs. Dove having on that day suffered a violent at tack, Mr. Dove said he would consider, and on the Thursday morning he wrote to Mr. Morley expressing confidence in hits, and declining the consultation. In the meantime, in consequence of the perplexing charac ter i)f the symptoms, the thought of strychnine suggested itself tis Mr. Morley, hut was dismissed as impossible. On the evening of Friday, the 29th, while Mr. Dove was present with the deceased, she was again seized with a still more violent attack ; her breathing was very bad, the whole body became very rigid, and was frequently observed to " twitch" involuntarily. Mrs. Witham was again called in, but in the course of a few hours Mrs. Dove improved, and continued better during the re mainder of the night, and also during the greater part of Saturday, March 1. Mrs. Witham and a Mrs. Wood walled during Saturday, and they were present in Mrs. Dove's bedroom, in company with Mr. Dove, about 8 o'clock. When Mrs. Dove asked her husband to give her her medicine, he went to a washstand, poured some thing into a wineglass, and gave it to his wife, and then washed the glass out. After drinking it she said, "Oh dear ! it's very disagreeable and hot." In the course of a minute or two, addressing Mrs. Witham, she said, "It's very bitter, have you anything in your pocket, Mrs. Witham, that you can give me I" Mrs. Witham gave her a lozenge. A few minutes afterwards Mrs. Dove was again seized with violent spasms, during which she shrieked out, her eyes became fixed, she clenched the hands of her attend ; nts, and her whole body became perfectly rigid and arched, resting upon the extremities, in which state she remained until her death, an hour or two afterwards. A messenger was despatched for Mr. Morley, and as Mrs. Dove did not recover Mr. Dove followed and re quested Mr. Morley to take Mr. Hobson with him. Mr. Morley called on Dr. Hobson, and while that gentleman was getting ready it is somewhat remarkable that Mr. Dove very urgently .reque ited Mr. Morley that, in the event of his wife dying, her body should not be dissected as she bad a strong objection to it. This request he re peated in different forms, aad Mr. Morley told him he hoped there would he no necessity for such a thing. As soon as Dr. Hobson was ready they proceeded to Cardigan-place, but on their arrival they were informed that Mrs. Dove was dead. Her death having ensued during the recurrence of the paroxysms, there was au anxious expression about the countenance, and the face was somewhat livid, especially about the lips. On Mr. tLorley's return to his residence he learnt that some time before Mr. Dove had obtained strych nine from his surgery through one of his pupils, and this circumstance, combined with the symptoms, led the coroner to open an inquiry on Monday last, when Mr. Morley and Mr. Nunneley were ordered to make a poet more= examination. These gentlemen are well known as eminent analytica surgeons, and they commenced their labours imrnecli. at9ly, 42 hours after death, and continued them on the fourth, fifth, and eixth days, when they were able to come to a decisive conclusion am to the cause of death. Yesterday they presented their report, which stated that on an analysis of the stomach and its contents, they discovered distinctly the presence .of strychnine ; they also found faint and doubtful traces of it in the intestines. In reply to the coroner, both gentlemen distinctly stated that the only cause of death was strychnine. Mr. Dove was then taken into custody, and tl ae i n• quest was further adjourned to Monday next, at ten o'clock. It was also stated during the inquiry, by a Mrs. Fishey, that, after Mrs. Dove's death, Mr. Dove took the medicine bottle, which contained one or two doses, downstairs, and a day or two afterwards, emptied the contents of a bottle into the kitchen sink. LEEDS, Saturday. This Mr. Tr'limy Dove was b roug ht b e f ore Mr. John Hope day Shaw and Mr. Ralph Marklaud, two of the inagistiates of this borough, sitting at the Court•house, for tie purpose of being roinanded, in custody, uttil the conclusion of the coroner's inquisition on the body of the wife of the prisoner. require a stria account from those by whom such a general, such officers, and such an army were left to maintain a hopeless struggle, and the enemy was permitted to gain the single success which has at tmUd his arms. Mr. Ottiwell 1E914 tho corohor'o Aur a mile Aida• THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING., MARCH 10, 1856. vit that the prisoner was duly in custody on suspicion of being concerned in the unlawful death of his wife. Mr. Shaw asked the prisoner if he wished to say any thing why be should n*t be remanded' The prisoner replied that he had nothing to Fay at present. He was then remanded until Tuesday next. We believe that it is not likely that the case will be investigated by the magistrates, but that, at present, it will be left in the hands of the coroner. The prisoner, who is 28 years of age, is the only son of the late Mr. Christopher Dove, of Park-square, Leeds, formerly an eminent currier and leather merchant in that town. For some time the prisoner has been living in independent circumstances, but early in life he was instructed al a farmer and agriculturist, and it is said that he once occupied a small farm in the neigh bourhood of Leeds, but that he gave it up some few years ago. He is well connected, and the case in which h• is sow implicated has caused great excitement. It appeard, from one of the Leeds papers of this day, that he was apprehended and lodged in priso❑ on the 11th of August, 1654, on a charge of attempting his own life with a pistol, but was liberated after being suitably re primanded by the Leeds bench of magistrates. His un fortunate wife was a Miss Jenkins, a Plymouth lady, who has a brother a clergyman and professor of mathe matics at Madras. The prisoner was married to her three years and a half ago. She has left no children. Her mother and sitter came to Leeds last Monday to visit her, the letter announcing her death not having rearsh.3d Plymouth at the time of their departure. It is said that the prisoner, who appears intelligent, and is a good-looking man, has led a somewhat irregular life, and that the chief property left him by his father is in the form of an annuity. IRELAND. DUBLIN, MARCH 7. The writ for the election of a member for New Ross was sent down from the Hanaper-office last evening, and at the same time appeared in the Dublin papers the address of Mr. J. C. Fitzpatrick to the electors. Mr. Fitzpatrick's intention to stand was well known for some months past, and his precedents, as well as the principles announced in his address, are sure to obtain for him a large. share of the popular favour. He undertakes to' " labour strenuously and sincerely for the advance ment of the rights and political power of the people, for complete religious equality, and for the protection of the occupiers of the soil by a tenant right law founded on the principles of Mr. Sharman Crawford's bill." The other candidates in the field are Sir T. N. Redington, whose principles are already well known ; Mr. Tottenham, who starts on the Derbyite interest, in the hope of getting in through the division among the liberals ; and, finally, a Mr. Welch, who generally starts for vacant seats in half a dozen constituencies, but never goes to the poll. The polling at the Sligo election takes place to- , day. The contest is entirely between Mr. Somers and Mr. Wynne. A Waterford paper states that Mr. Keating is expected to resign his seat immediately, and that Captain Napoleon Wyse is feeling his way with the electors. SUICIDE OF AN OFFICER. An act of determined self-destruction was committed at an early hour yesterday morning by Mr. HoWard' Douglas Aytoun, ensign in the 15th Regiment, and god son of Sir Howard Douglas, colonel of the regiment. The fatal act was accomplished with a razor, in bis bed room, in the Royal Barracks. It would appear that he bad been a man of inexpensive and abstemious habits, aad of a retiring disposition. He was 26 years of age, though he looked at ieast 33, and had formerly belonged to the Fifeshire Militia, from which, about two montbs since, he was appointed to the 15tb. Pecuniary em barrassment seems to have weighed on his mind, and it is said that the prospect of peace, which would lessen his hope of advancement in a profession which he joined rather later in life than usual, had also a depressing in• fluence en him. Previous to joining the FifeslAire Militia he bad been to the Australian gold diggings, and was heard to say that he returned home a poorer man than he went. That the dreadful act by which be terminated his existence was premeditated there can be little doubt from the following memorandum, which was found in his bed ; it was evidently written hastily, in large, un connected, and straggling letters, on the back of a card on which was printed an almanac for the present year and an interest and discount table. The memorandum was as follows :—" I gave my watch to Gaskin, to dis pose of for 101. There are 71. in my desk." The desk alluded to was found to contain 61. 2s. 6J., and a num ber of letters. J. E. Hyndman, Esq , one of the city coroners, held an inquest on the body at 2 o'clock. The following evi denee was given : Major Cole, 15th Regiment, said—The deceased joined the regiment about two months ago, from the Fifeshire Militia. He kept very much aloof from his lorotherofficers. It seemed from his demeanour as if something weighed on his mind. I never saw him i,'rink wine or spirits of any description at tile mess. He did not even take beer. When I saw him last, about two days ago,'there was nothing striking or particular in his manner. In consequence of seeing the card found on his bed (above copied), I sent to Messrs. Cane, Dawson-street, to inquire how his account stood. I received from them the letter now produced, dated March 4, written by de ceased. The letter asks for an advance of 91. till the end of the month, to be remitted to a writer in Cupar Fife, Scotland. A postscript of the letter asks whether an order could be cashed in Scotland without heavy clediv:!. tions, but directs that no movement should be made in the matter till he w•a•+ heard from again. I understand that Mr. Cane being out, he did not get the cash. "lig regimental debts only amount to 4/. 19s. 6d., which should have been paid by the 10th of this month. I saw a letter this morning from the paymaster of the Fifeshire regiment, requiring payment of a small balance. The answer of the decealed, which is not sent, demurs to the debt. From the first day I saw him I formed the idea that he had something heavily weighing on his mind. It was generally remarked by the other officers. He seems to have been quartered at Cnpar, which may ac count for his having some small debts there. Thos. byce, Esq., surgeon, 15th Regiment, said—De ceased bad been on the sick list since the 4th inst. His complaint was very trifling, and he was not confined to bed. I saw him yesterday, and prescribed for, him. I observed nothing unusual in his manner. He generally seemed in very low spirits, as if something disturbed his mind. At half-past 9 o'clock this morning a private of the regiment reported that deceased had cut his throat. I immediately went to his quarters, and found him lying on the,floor in a corner of the room, quite dead. I hare no reason to Fay that he was labouring under temporary derangement. He bad evidently died from loss of blood. I cameo"; say whether the wound ens inflicted by d eceased. Richard B Ile deposed as follows—l was servant to deceased for a month and four days past. I saw deceased alive last at a quarter to ten o'clock last night. He called me to bring him some barley-water. I brought it to him, and he said " That will do for to-night." He was dressed then. I saw him in the lobby, but was not in the room. Ho went in and shut the door. I had seen him several times durin, the day. H e was wr iti ng let ters a great p ar t of the day. He gave me two to post at half-past one o'clock. Ido not recollect who they were addressed to. I left a letter, from him, at Messrs. Cane's, in Dawson-street, on Tuesday, and brought back an answer, which I delivered to him. I did not observe anything peculiar in his manner yesterday or last night, when I last saw him. I went to his room at half-past seven o'clock this morning, as usual. I found the door locked. I knocked, but got no answer ; being on the sick list, I thought he was asleep. I reported the fact to a servant-man named Harris, at nine o'clock; he cam, down with me, and we forced open the door, having knocked again and got no answer. We found deceased lying on the floor, in his night-dress, dead. I never had heard him speak of money matters. I knew of his owing some small debts. I have no reason to think he was deranged. Surgeon George Porter described the wounds. Either would cause his death, though, if promptly assisted, they might not have been fatal. The jury found that "The deceased died from loss of blood, which flowed from two wounds inflicted on his throat by himself, last night or this morning, while l a . bJuring under temporary derangement of mind." DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENING. MINISTERIAL DEFEAT AT SLIGO. • Lord Palmerston and his prefegef John Patrick Somers, have been defeated at Sligo by a Conservative, the Bight Hon. Jno. Wynne, sustained as he was by a strong party of Liberals, who felt that if the Premier had his own way on this occasion, their town would have con ti❑ued to bear the foul stains cast upon it by the re presentatives they have sent to Parliament of late years. All honour to these electors. The cha racter of Sligo may be considered as retrieved. But only thi❑k of 107 persons possessing sufficient qualifications for the purpose of recording their votes for John Patrick Seniors ! In Mr. Wynne the people of all shades of political and religious opinion may feel assured they have an honourable representative. He did not purchase the support of his liberal friends by vague inti• mations of what he might do or try to do to please them, nor with solemn protestations that he did net mean to fulfil—like some o: the other worthies who appeared be fore the electors prior to the day of polling. Although unfledged, there is full confidence that he will exert himself for the general benefit of the town—the property of the noble Prime Minister, who did all in his power to prevent his election. The following were the numbers at the close of the poll yesterday :—Wynne, 143 Somers, 107. Majority, 41. NSW CROSS ELECTION. Sir Thomas Redington has gone off to New Ross, where he will be encountered by Mr. James Fitzpa trick, ex-colonial judge. Neither candidate stands high in the estimation of the Nation, which denounces Sir Tho mas as the impersonation of the Crarendon policy in Ireland, than which nothing could be more obnoxious to the character of the country. The second-natned ob tained his situation by abusing Young Ireland, and " is now speculating on getting office again by selling his constituents." A pretty pair this, according to the Nation. If Mr. Tottenham goes to the poll, we think ho will succeed. The electors of Ross, like those of Sligo, ought to be anxious to rid themselves of intruding "patriots" and place-hunters. Mr. Tottenham is con nected with the town by family and nrapert . y, and if the electors have proper regard to their own interests and the good name of Ross, they will choose him as their representative in preference to any other spoken of.
