The extraordinary expenses of the war will not sound alarmingly to English ears. During 28 months 11,200,0001. have been expended. It must be remembered that the Ottoman armies have fought on their own ground, and according to a very simple system. Othman or Bajazet could not have provisioned their hordes in a more primitive and effective manner. There exists nothing which can be called a commissariat. Each commander of a regiment looks to the feeding of his men, and in Bulgaria or the Principalities the process is easy. enough. The required amount of provisions is set tled, and a requisition is then made on thevillagers. Of course in the Crimea a different procedure has been necessary, and the chief part of the expenses has no doubt arisen from the occupation of Eupa toria for so long a time by more than 50,000 men. It is, however, wonderful that so large a force has been under arms for so long a time at so little cost. It was in the beginning of 1853. that the Sultan's call to arms was responded to by the Muss sulman population. The troops enrolled amounted before the close of the year to a quarter of a million of tuen. The document points out with justice that, though Turkey, to resist Russia on the ono side and Greece on the other, was obliged to main tain this immense force, yet she has succ ess f u ll y maintained the war without the addition of any new taxes, and without any ex t erna l a id except the . 2,500,0001. of the old loan, and 600,0001. of the new. During a great part of this time the Porte had three armies in presence of the enemy —that of Omer Pasha on the Danube, the force operating in Thessaly, and the force opposed to the Russians in Armenia. The troops of Omer Pasha were well supplied, for the safety of the empire depended on their efforts. Thirteen years of tran quillity had enabled Turkey to discipline a large army, and to provide it with effective arms and suitable clothing. The best of these were with the Pashas who commanded the Danube, and they began the war in a fertile country after a most abundant harvest. The troops in Thessaly suffered much ; for weeks together they subsisted entirely on biscuit, and before the close of the campaign their clothes and shoes were unfit for wear. Yeb they were led with much ability, and bore their priva tions without a murmur. The army of Asia was sacrificed by the incapacity and venality of its chiefs. From the beginning the men were hungry, coatless, and shoeless • yet it is certai n th at t h e Porto attached no littl e importance to the opera tions on this frontier, and devoted a large part of its means to the Asiatic army. It does not appear from the budget how the sums spent were distri buted ; but, if we may judge from known facts, it is probable that much was wasted, and that with regularity and economy an effective Turkish force like that on the Danube may be supported at even a smaller cost than these figures represent. The necessity for keeping under arms such vast armies now exists no more. In 1855 th e Porte had to provide for 122,000 regular troops, exclu sive of the Redifs and Bashi-Bazouks. The pay of a soldier in the lino is only 20 piastres, or about 3,4., a-month, and, though the pay of the higher officers is excessive, the State cannot be said to obtain the services of its troops at too high a cost. As nearly the whole army is now on Turkish ground, and will probably be for the present en gaged only as a defensive force, the expenses will be mewl). lessened. Clothing and materials of war will form large items in the accounts, owing to the increased price of all goods throughout the East, and the rise of freights, caused by the number of transports necessary fur the operations of the Allies. The estimate of the total cost of the regu lar force for the past year is 2,320,0001. The Redifs actually under arms amount to about 30,000 cavalry and 72,000 i n f an t ry; i n exact numbers, 10J,827 men. These men have been placed as re gards pay and rations on an equality with the line, and the total cost of the force amounts to 4710,000/. fur the year 1855. The finances of Turkey have, however, been eased during the past year by the institution of the Turkish Contingent. Up to the close of September '2,259 of the regulars and 7,741 of the Redifs have been taken into the pay of the British Government. Since that time we believe more than 10,000 Turks have been added to the new force. The total Turkish army in the early part of l as t y ear ma y th ere f ore be estimated at about 220,900 men, of whom half are regulars, a third infantry Militia, and the rest Bashi-Bazouks. It is not probable that any augmentation will be necessary in the present year. On the con trary, if the COutingent succeed, nearly 30,000 men will be subtracted from the force which Turkey will have to support. The Egyptian Con tingent of over 20,000 men will continuo to be at the service of the Porte, at the cost of the mere maintenance of the troops, which is estimated at 118,9001. for the ;year 1855. Although the Tur kish army was sent to Eupatoria in British vessels, yet the expense of transport for 1855 is reckon e d at 515,000/. We ma y th ere f ore form some con clusion as to the future cost of the Ottoman army. At present the expenditure on the land forces seems to be about 5,000,0001. a-year. This is, indeed, a Great sum for so poor a country, and, if Turkey i 5.• to bear her part in a long war, the loan lately gua ranteed cannot be the last. UOIIIIITTAL OF TWO MILITARY OFFICERS FOR TRIAL AT MALTA. —Tho Malta Times contains an accolust of an examination and committal fee trial of two officers whose misconduct at the cathedral church of Malta on Christmas-day was described in a letter from Malta. Tiiey are Lieut. Robert Hodson, Royal Artillery, and Lieut. Alex. Nixon Montgomery, 7th Royal Fusiliers, and they are charged with resisting the police in the execution of their duty, and with having threatened the po:ico with loaded fire-arms. During the hearing oflthe case an act of violence took place which might have been attended with very serious consequences. Some 60 or 70 soldiers rushed into the corridor of the Palace of Justice, upsetting the constable on duty, it is sup. posed with a view of rescuing the prisoners at the bar. The iron gate leading to the courts was :nstautly closed before the soldiers could gain an entrance, and the people • rushing out of the crowded courts and joinine , them selves to the few policemen present, the soldiers became alarmed and retreated, striking as they retired right and left with their belts and sticks at the crowd in the street. A fight ensued between the populace and the soldiery, but fortueately no heads were broken. The town- major arrived on the spot, and having ordered the men to their barracks a stop was put to the disturbance. Nine sol dier 4 were, however, arrested, and a number of belts and sticks taken. The men have been. handed over to the military authorities fur trial by court-martial. Hodson and Muntgornrry, who were pi evious to their being com mitted for trial confined in the cells under the Palace of Justice, have been removed to the old prison, and by der of the governor a picquet has been placed over • filieca to insure the r safety. Robt. Stephenson, Esq., M.P., President, in the chair. The President, on taking the chair for the first time since his election, handed in an address, which was read by the secretary. After a complimentary allusion to the addresses of his predecessors, the President observed that he would apply himself to the great question of British railways, which were described as spreading, like a network, over Great Britain and Ireland, to the extent of 8,054 miles com pleted—thus, in length, they exceeded the ten chief rivers in Europe united, and more than enough of single rails were laid to make a belt of iron round the globe. The cost of these lines had been 286,000,0001.—equal to one-third of the amount of the national debt. Already, in two short years, there bad been spent more than one fourth of 286,000,0001. in the war in which England a ss engaged ; yet how small were the material advantages obtained by the war in comparison with the results se cured by railways. The extent of the railway works was remarkable. They had penetrated the earth with tunnels to the extent of more than 50 miles. There were 11 miles of viaduct in the vicinity of the metropolis alone—the earth-works measured 550,000,000 of cubic yards. St. Paul's, in comparison with the mountain this earth would rear, would be but as a pigmy beside a giant, for it would form a pyramid a mile and a half in height, with a base larger than St. James's-park. Eighty millions of train miles were run annually on the railways, 5,000 engines, and 150,000 vehicles composed the working stock ; the engines, in a line, would extend from London to Chatham ; the vehicles from London to Aberdeen ; and the companies employed 90,400 officers and servants ; whilst the engines consumed annually 2,000,000 tons of coals, so that in every minute of time 4 tons of coal flashed into steam 20 tons of water—an amount sufficient for the supply of the domestic and other wants of the town of Liverpool. The coal consumed was almost equal to the whole amount exported to foreign countries, and to one half of the annual consumption of London. In 1854, 111,000,000 of passengers were conveyed on railways ; each passenger travelled an average of 12 miles. The old coaches carried an average of 10 passen gers, and for the conveyance of 300,000 passengers a day 12 miles each, there would have been required at least 10,000 coaches and 120,000 horses. The receipts of the railways in 1854 amounted to 20,215,0001., and there was no instance on record in which the receipts of a railway had not been of conti nuous growth even where portions of its traffic had been abstracted by competition or new lines. The wear and tear was great ; 20,00 tons of iron re quired to be replaced annually ; and 26,000,000 sleepers annually perished ; 300,000 trees were annually felled to make good the leis of sleepers ; and 300,000 trees could be grown on little less than 5,000 acres of forest land. The president considered at some length how these an nual depreciations should be met. The principle of a re newal fund was questionable. After a certain period in the history of every railway deterioration reached an annual average ; and as that annual depreciation became a charge as fixed and certain as the cost of fuel or the salaries of officers, it should be admitted as an annual charge against receipts. As regarded fares, the interests of the companies and of the public were identical. Companies must regulate fares by consideration of the circumstances which pro duced the largest revenue; and the circumstances which produced the largest revenue were those which induced the greatest number of individuals to travel. Nothing was so profitable as passenger traffic, as it cost less, in every way, than goods, and an average train would carry 200 passengers. The cost of running a train was over stated at ls. 3d. per mile, and 100 passengers at d. per mile produce 6 58. 2Ail. But this argument did not imply that in all cases fares should be fixed at a minimum. Minimum fares were most profitable on short routes ; but the public were too much occupied to be tempted by minimum fares to undertake long journeys. High rates of speed and increased comforts were then required, and these might be charged for. Every case, therefore, should be treated in consideration of its local circum stances. The postal facilities afforded by railways were very great. But for their existence Mr. Rowland Hill's plan never could have been effectually carried out. Railways afforded the means of carrying bulk, which would have been fatal to the old mail coaches. Every Friday night at present, when the weekly papers were transmitted, eight or ten vans were now required for Post-office bags on the North-Western Railway; and this use of eight or ten railway vans implied, at the least, the employ ment of 14 or 15 mail coaches ; and the expenses of 14 or 15 mail coaches to 'Birmingham could never have been sustained by a penny postage. For this great blessing, therefore, the nation had to thank the railways. They were the great engines for the diffusion of know ledge. Government never could have carried the Times, of its present size, on the same terms, by the old mail coach. The Parliamentary blue books never would have been printed ; for except by canal, or by waggon, they could not have been distributed, and if they could not have been circulated they would have been useless. Nevertheless the Post-office did not appear to treat rail • ways with all the consideration they were entitled to ex pect. Great services were required, and in return it had been contended that no profit should be allowed to the railway companies, except as carriers and workers of the line. Railway companies were, therefore, indif ferent to postal traffic, which was shown to be a serious disadvantage to the public. At present the Post•office competed with railways as carriers of book parcels, a principle which might be extended still further, but not without injustice and hardahip to the railways. Parliamentary legislation for railways was full of in congruities and absurdities, which were graphically de scribed and illustrated. The acts of Parliament which railways bad been forced to obtain had cost the country 14,000,0001. sterling, but this was found to be the exclu sive fault of Parliament itself, and of the system it en forced. The legislation of Parliament had made railways pay 70 millions of money to landowners for land and property ; yet almost every estate traversed by a rail way had been greatly improved in value. Parliament had taxed the companies in favour of the landowners for what was called "severance." Claims for compensation " severance" were based on theories which were wholly ideal and imaginary. No one bad ever been able to show a practical loss by " severance," and the claim was often made as " customary," where it was even admitted that no around for it existed. The remedy which suggested itself for this state of things was one which Parliament was not likely to grant. A competent tribunal was wanted, and Parliament was incompetent. Neither its practical experience, its time, nor its system, were adapte for railway legislation. If a commission could be organised, to consist of practical men of acknowledged legal, commercial, and mechanical ability, there might be some chance of railway business being efficiently con ducted. But it was admitted that there was little hope of any such concession. Railway management was next considered, and shown to be completely anomalous, Parliament bad legislated for railways as toll-taking companies ; but every direc tion was obliged to embark in enterprises foreign to the Parliamentary objects of the railway itself. This pro duced serious dilemmas. As long as dividends were kept up, the directors were popular, however illegal their acts ; but the moment dividends fell, the directors, how ever energetic, wise, or prudent, were visited by the share holders and the public with all the penalties of having exceeded the letter of the law. Men whose reputa'ions were at stake were, consequently, unwilling to incur the risk of becoming railway directors ; and the most enlightened managers and shareholders were revolving in their own minds how the dilemma could be escaped. It was suggested that advantage might be taken of the Limited Liability Act, or of some analogous measure, to enable a limited number of men of business to take lines of railway from shareholders on leases, subject to cer tain conditions and terms. A few of the lessees would then constitute themselves managers ; and, being free from apprehensions on account of shareholders—of ex ternal interference, or of personal liabilities, they would be able fully to work the line and enter into those enter prises necessary for its development and essential to its prosperity. A large profit would accrue to those who took the line and managed it with vigour and economy ; whilst shareholders would derive great advantage from the certainty of receiving fixed dividends, and from the enhancement of the value of their property, and practi cal security would be afforded to the public, whilst their best interests would be consulted. The electric telegraph—that offspring and indispens able companion of railways —was next considered : 7,200 miles of telegraph, or 36,000 miles of wires, were laid down at least. Three thousand people were continually employed, and more than a million of public messages were annually flashed along this " silent highway." To the working of railways the telegraph had become essen tial. The needle was capable of indicating at every station whether the line was clear, or blocked, or if accident had anywhere occurred. The telegraph could, therefore, do the work of additional rails, by imparting instantaneous information to the officers, and enabling them to augment the traffic over those portions of the line to which their duty might apply. It also enabled large savings to he effected in rolling stock, by affording the means of supplying such stock at any station at which it was needed, from some other station where it had accumulated and was not wanted. The mode in which this system was worked was described, and its simplicity was commended. A s a perpetual current was passing through the wires, the guard or engine driver bad only to break the train-wire in case of accident, and the officers at the nearest station were instantaneously apprised that something was wrong and that assistance ass needed. Some statistics were given to show that the business of the Electric Telegraph Company bad in creased fifty-fold in seven years. Railway accidents occurred to passengers, in the first half of 1854, in the proportion of one accident to every 7,195,343 travellers. Ladies and gentlemen could Sir Charles does us the honour to compare our own personal aptitude for the service in which he has acquired glory and grown old, and he goes so far as to wish us a warm berth in the next action with gun-boats and batteries. If ho means that there is any real comparison between us, and that we should have both to deal with instruments that we had not proved—he a steam navy and we a fleet of any sort—we are bound to admit that there is some truth in the parallel, the difference being that we should be new to the work, and he not quite new enough. But he has probably forgotten that duty can be done and honour acquired in one way as well as in another. We are not at all afraid of com- paring our work with his own, •ven on the score of personal hardships. It is not everybody who, with the means of retirement and liberty in his reach, would spend all the best years of his life— near twenty long years—in a longer and more laborious night-watch than ever fell to the lot of either fortunate Admiral or disappointed Lieu tenant. It is not everybody who, for that very long period, would sit in this office till 4 in the morning for six days out of the seven, reading piles of MS. and columns of proofs, exercising at once the most anxious vigilance and the closest atten tion. We should be sorry to see Sir Charles, or any other defender of his country condemned to such a task, not only because he would not like it, but because ho would certainly fail. What he might have done if early broken in we cannot say, but he could not do it now. Nor do we pretend to be able to do in the Baltic even the very little Sir Charles has done there, though we should at least bring a cool head and nerves unshaken by indulgence to the work. TUE FRENCH EXHIBITORS AND BARON CHAS. DUN. —A number of the French exhibitors waited on Baron Chas. Dupin, president of the French Commission at the London Exhibition, and presented him with an exceed ingly handmorne bronze shield, due to the talents of MM. Lienard, Froment-Meurice, and H. Plon. M. Froment- Maurice, jun., in an appropriate speech, expressed in the name of the exhibitors the gratitude which they owed to the spirit of justice and impartiality of the president of the Commission. M. Dupin, after thanking the exhi bitors, pointed out the rapid progress which had been made b y . Fren c h manufactures since the commence ment of the pres ent century, and particularly within the last few years. The interview then terminated.—Galig 'aunt. The sarem steam-transport Clyde, No. 145, Captain Henderson, arrived at Spithead yesterday from the East. liar dates are Balaklava, December 8 ; Constantinople, 27th ult., t i a n , la 2 t 4 it t u h de n Gibraltar,. slnoro Jan ,l u on ar g y itu I. de s (_?a th e 27th Ie east, i spoke tAhlealbark Panama ; December 29, 50 miles east of Gibraltar, s p o k e the Bucephalus transport, bound to Spithead ; January 4, in latitude 40.49 north, longitude 11.58 west, the sbip Violet; Jan. 7, at 3 p.m., 35 miles west-scuth•west of the Lizard, spoke her Majesty's ship London, 90 guns, bound for Plymouth, to be converted to an ammunition and store-ship for the next Baltic fleet. The Clyde brought Deputy-Assistant -Commissary J. S. Greensill, of the Field Train Depai talent; Surgeon Humfrey, Deputy -Medical Inspector-General ; the Rev. J. Thomson, Chaplain, R.N.; Mr. Mackenzie, Coin inissariat clerk ; Mr. Bennett, Clerk of the War De partment ; Mrs. Bennett ; and Mr. F. Harman, As tostant-Sterekeeper • also Private Kanagan, of the 44th Regiment; Darby Doolan, Wm. M'Arthur, A. 8., R.N.; W. Manshar, stoker • John Loft, 'Win. Long, Win. B.Junds, Henry Hatfield, B. Geaves, and Robt. Freeman. The Cressy, SO guns, screw steam-ship, Capt. Richard L. Warren, is ordered to complete stores, ammunition, provisons, Ste., and to be made ready for leaving Sheer ness immediately. She is ordered to proceed to the Downs, there to await Admiralty orders for her future de , .tination. The greatest activity prevails on board to comply with the Admiralty orders; all leave to officers is *suspended. The second of six gun-boats, building at the yard of Wigram, shipbuilders, at North a m, n ear South ampton, was launch e d yesterday. The Royal George, 102 guns, screw steam-ship, Capt. Henry J. Codrington, C. 8., has had the datna4e to the after en:l of her main shaft repaired, and she is ordered to be put out of No. 1 dry dock, Sheerness, on the 10th instant. The Eurotas screw mortar-ship, now fitting in No. 2 dry dock, Sheerness, is ordered to be hastened in her fittings of machinery in her engine department. A letter has been received at Sheerness from Heligb land, dated January the 31. The writer says— "l was over to Cuxhaven yesterday and the day be fore. That harbour is full of laden vessels, many of them bearing the English flag. Most of them, it is well understood, are laden with munitions of war, such as brimstone, sulphur, saltpetre, gunpowder, and several are reported to have rifles and revolvers on board in barrels and cases, bearing marks of contents—' Various Goods,' others 'Sundry Specimens,' moat of them wait ing ,for canal passages, that being the especial route ordered for their being forwarded to their places of desti nation—which, there is little doubt, is to cross the Rus sian frontiers. Extraordinary freights are named, which these vessels are to receive provided their cargoes are all forwarded by the route prescribed. Surely,' the writer continues, ' this must be known to the English authorities, as we have English man-of-war steam-ves sels, commanded by lieutenants, daily running from Cuxhaven here, when the weather permits. If they have not communicated to the English Admiralty these facts, which must from necessity have come under knowledge, the thing not in any way being made a secret, but the common talk in all parts of Cuxhaven as well as here, I think there must be traitors in the camp, or rather under the British pendant." The Cambria arrived at Liverpool yesterday, from the East. The Cleopatra will sail to-day from Liverpool, with about 500 troops, 'composed of detachments from vari ous regiments of the line. REMAILKAULE METEou.--4 very brilliant and re markable meteor was witnessed at Southarut° ester day. At about fi ve m i nutes before five o'clock r is the afternoon a streak of light darted down from the heavens, and when apparently about a mile and a half above the earth the lower end of it expanded into a blue and red ball of fire, about six inches in diameter. This ball separated from the streak, and as it was fallin g to wards the earth it separated in five sina;ler balls, which vanished in the haze that obscured the horizo n in the south-west. But the most remarkable part of the pheno menon was the streak of light, which remained precisely in the same spot where it was first seen when the ball of tire left it. At first it appeared illuminated with phos phoric light, about three yards in length and a few inches in breadth. It continued stationary and in a per pendicular line for more than five minutes, when it as. sumed a smoke-like appearance and began to increase slightly in width, and to curl up from its lower end. The wind was blowing from the north-east at the top of the houses in Southampton, but nevertheless the phosphoric phenomena remained stationary for a quarter of an hour, when it floated slowly away towards the south. The remarkable appearance excited the utmost attention and some alarm amongst hundreds of peoplein Southampton. The sky was clear, and blue in colour, except near the boriz.m. The barometer had suddenly fallen about the I time of the appearance of the 'meteor. The - reeairs of the Be - lgain mail packet Belgique, Capt. Jack, will be completed at Plymouth to day, and she will probably sail this afternoon for New York. The Alban, 4 guns, paddle-wheel steam-vessel, Lieut. Commander Wm. E. Fisher, arrived at Sheerness late on Monday night from Heligoland. She left Cuxhaven in company with the Pigmy steam-vessel, on the sth inst., taking over to Heligoland (on board both vessels) aboul 60 volunteers for the Foreign Legion ; also Baron General Stutterheirn, Commanda n t of the legion being ' organised there. The vessels experienced very groat difficulty in getting from Cuxhaven, owing to the heavy and bard state of the floating ice, which was met in large m asses ; over many of the blocks the vessels ploughed their way with their paddles entirely over the ice. The thermometer ranged from 15 dog. down to 7 deg. Fahrenheit. The harbour is reported to he crowded with vessels, most of which are laden with va rious cargoes. Six vessels drove, with their anchors a-head, with the drift ice, on shore ; f our o f their' were assisted off p rev i o us to the sth instant. Two remained driven high upon the beach, and must be discharged be fore they can be got off. The floating batteries Trusty and Thunder are under goin, various improvements in Sheerness basin. Time Wasp, 144 guns, screw steam-sloop, Commander H. Lloyd, which vessel was paid off on Monday last, is ordered to be surveyed by the dockyard authorities at Sheerness, and her condition is to be reported on, for the purpose of deciding as to her future services. A detachment of the Foreign Legion from Shorncliff, principally Poles, have been ordered to Tilbury Fort for duty at that station ; their numbers are shortly to be augmented. All the Crimean men will leave Chatham this day. They have been liberally supplied with clothing from the Crimean Army Fund. Draughts from the Ist Royals (Ist Battalion) 30th, 33J, 49th, 50th, 68th, and 82d, arrived in Cork on Tuesday, from Penney, to await the arrival of trans ports, which are hourly expected in Queenstown, for conveyance to Balaklava.

Sargood urged that the insolvent had fully ex pected to pay his creditors, and but for the disappoint. ment experienced they would have been paid. The pub lic knew well cf the former insolvency, and it was noto rious to the creditors that Mr. Capel was dependent on his family for support. An allowance had been made, and creditors had been paid, and everything done for them. There was no pretence for saying the insolvent had no reasonable expectation of payment. The learned Judge expressed liiinse'f of opinion that the debts of the opposing creditors had been contracted without reasonable or probable expectation of payment. It was his duty equally to administer the law to a poor man as well as one who bad moved in a high position. After taking a review of the case, the learned Judge pronounced a judgment of 12 months' imprisonment at the suit of the detaining creditors, four in number, for having i ncurre d t h e i r debts without' having at the time any reasonable or probable expectation of payment. The judgment is computed from the vesting order at the end of October, and is considered by the insol vent's professisnal advisers to be a very severe one. There is no appeal iu matters of insolvency from the county court , , either on the part of creditors or in solvents. street ; how fearful the misadventures to th ose " who go down to the sea in ships." Yet Parliament had seen CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—Jan. 9. Edward Harvey, 31, and Harriet Ray, 33, were in dieted for the a Mel murder of Harriet Harvey, by starving her to death. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Poland conducted the prosecu tion ; the prisoners bad no counsel. The circumstances under which this' charge was pre ferred have appeared very recently in the police reports aml in the proceedings before the coroner. The male prisoner was a widower with four children, the deceased, who was about five years old, an older girl, one of two years and a half, and a hoy about three years old, andle and the woman, it appeared, had cohabited together for about eight months, and pa.sed as man and wife. In the month of December the whole family occupied one room in Brunswick -street, Hackney, and there appeared to be no doubt that they were in a most nlieerable and destitute condition. On the morning of the 23c1 of December the male prisoner went to the landlady of the house, and told her that two of his children were dying, and she gave Lim the addresss of Mr. Venal!, the medical officer of the district, and he proceeded there, and that gentleman accompanied hint back to his lodging, where he found the deceased girl lying dead upon a miserable mattress, and another child, William, in a dying state, and Le expired shortly afterwards. The children presented a most dreadfully emaciated appear ance, the only food that was seen was a small quantity of rice and oatmeal, but the female prisoner mail that the children had eaten a hearty supper on the previous night. Upon a post mortem examination of the deceased chil. diem, not a vestige of food of any kind was found in the stomach, and every portion of fat had been absorbed, and Dr. Letheby, the eminent professor of chemistry, who was called upon to examine and analyse the intes tines and stomach, expressed his opinion that the deaths were the result of a long-continued course of deprivation of nourishment. it should be stated that in the stomach of both the deceased there were found some small pieces of wood which they had no doubt devoured in the ex tremity of their hunger. In order to establish the charge against the prisoners evidence was adduced to show that, in July la s t, th e male prisoner was committed to prison from W ors h ip - street for ill-using and deserting the chil dren, and when they were afterwards delivered up to him they were healthy and in good condition, and it was proved that very soon afterwards they appeared very emaciated a n d i n a most miserab'e state, an d th a t th e deceased child Harriet, upon several occasions, had been seen to pick up offal in the etreet, and eat it ravenously. It was al so prove d that the pr i soners had received assist aneo from th e p ar i s h i n t h e s h ape o f fiod, and that an order was given him for work, at which he could have .earned 10e. or 12s. per week, but that ho would no t avail him s elf o f it . I t lik ew i s e appeared that the pris oner had bee n emp l oye d a t his trade of a bricklayer in Octo ber, and shortly before the deaths of the children, and that he received between .51. and 61. for wages, out of which sum, however, it appeared he had to pay a man who assisted 'lim n() prisoners when called upon for their defence de clared that they had done all in their power for the chil dren, and that they shared the whole of the food they were able to obtain. Baron Martin, - in summing up the case to the jury, expressed an opinion that there was not sufficient evi dence to support . a charge e ith er o f murder or of manslaughter aganht the female prisoner. With re gard to the man, he, as a parent, was b oun d to ma i nta i n his eff-pring, and if the jury should believe that he had wilfully withheld proper food and nourishment from these children, and death was the result, he would, in the eye of the law, be guilty of murder. If, however, they should be of opinion that this fact was not fully established, but that the evidence rather tended to show that he had neglected his duty, either by not going to work, or by refusing to go Into the workhouse with his family, an r AD VERTISESMNT.I—SIOIIr AND HEAR INC —DEAFNESS AND DEFECTIVE VISION RELIEVED.— Messrs.

This was unfair to railways, and ia-calculated to afford protection to the public where it was most needed. Lord Campbell's act, also, measured men's lives by a class standard. The family of a high public functionary would get large compensation, whilst the family of the poor working man would get nothing. The practical tendency of this law was to retard the adoption of low fares. Railway managers were com pelled to consider not only what they might gain, but what they might lose ; and the larger the number of rasaengers the greater the risk of accident to some one of them. The companies were, practically, obliged to insure the life of every person who travelled on their line, without being able to apportion the premiums to the risks incurred.
