The last dividend of the Gauges St eam Company was 4S per cent. per annum, and the latest returns of a Navigation Com pany on the Godavery was 55 per cent.

The annual meeting of the Northamptonshire Agricul tural Society was held on Thursday last, in the county town. The morning was occupied with the inspection of the stock, the show of which surpassed the exhibitions of late years. The dinner afterwards took place at the George Hotel ; Lord HENLEY in the chair. After dinner, The CHAintrAit gave "The Queen," " Prinoe Albert and the rePA of the Royal Family," which were drunk with three times three. Tlie Right Hon. R. V. SMITH, M.P., rose, by per r.elesion of the chairman, to prop )se " The Army and Navy." (Cheers.) With what recollections it filled them when they remembered the endurance and achieve. ments of those devoted services. Though, at the outset of the war, we might, from unpreparedness, have exhi bited comparative failure—though we were not able to pour in our myriads of men like the Emperor of Russia and of France—still, with the pride of Englishmen, we could remember the high position in which we stood at the conclusion of the war. Our army at the close was better accoutred, better fed, better equipped, than the armies of either of the powers engaged in the war. Let England always remember this, and in talking of her' navy, let them remember that, though our seamen had had no opportunity of distinguishing themselves in ac tion, yet it had been the proud privilege of the navy to, chase from the seas every beadle flag, and thus to per.: form most useful and efficient service in the war.! (Cheers.) He looked with regret at the heroes we lost in that war ; but again he rejoiced at the return of others. The right hon. gentleman proceeded to' say that he was anxious to propose the toast, because it enabled him not - only to state his conviction of the! indomitable valour of the men composing our army, but! to express his - hope that the militia, which bad doner the country such good service, would now, upon their return, become ss useful labourers in peace as they had been beneficial soldiers in war. But in speaking of peace, if the subject had been mentioned in his presence ten years ago, he should have spoken of peace as likely to be permanent. He was afraid, how ever, that was not the case now. Events were occurring on all hands preventing any firm reliance in the prospect of peace. But by those events, we also, being fore warned, should be forearmed. (Hear, hear.) He did not tbiuk it necessary to keep together a large and use less military force, but a sufficient force ought to be maintained to uphold the dignity of the country in criti cal periods. Lit no one suppose that such periods were not likely to happen. And though it might be impolitic to maintain a very numerous standing army, it wouki yet be most unwise for the country to disarm to the ex tent that it had done in years recently passed. (Hear.) Every unjust and unlawful expenditure ought certainly to be cut down. It would be necessary to have a good Chancellor of the Exchequer, and a goad Secretary-at- War, but he did not hesitate to say it would be wise policy to be always prepared with such an army and navy as would do honour to England in time of need. Therefore, in time of peace, as in time of war, be was most happy to propose the toast " The Health of the Army and Navy of England." (Cheers.) Colonel CARTWRIGHT, as an old Peninsular officer, returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing " Prosperity to thel Northamptonshire Agricultural Society," said that he defied any man to find a place in which the agriculturist could beat the British farmer in the production of corn. But even if it were found that the English farmer were beaten in corn production, he had still another staff on which to lean. The British farmer could still breed and feed cattle better than any other nation in the world— proved by the falling off of the importation of foreign cattle, about which so- much apprehension was at one time entertained. And why, he would ask, should they not cease to import corn as they had ceased to import cattle, and become the monopolists of their own markets, by producing the best articles in the greatest quantity ? There was another matter. Five or six years ago, when it was questioned whether the English farmer would be able to continue to produce corn, landlords were called upon to erect buildings for the reception and feeding of cattle. His lordship reminded farmers that landlords thus called upon would naturally expect to be sharers in the profits, and that it would be to their mutual interest for occupiers who required buildings to tender to the land lords a proper percentage on the required outlay. His lordship remarked that there were other imperfections in the social system, and pointed at once to a vast burden raised upon the land alone, amounting to six or seven millions, paid by the holders of real property. Why the tax was so charged he had never been able to discover. He was always told that it was a most difficult thing to assess funded and personal property, hut allowing that, there could be no such difficulty in dividing the burden more equally amongst themselves. He hoped they might live to see a new system in assessing the poor rate —parishes in a larger area, or minimum rate fixed for parishes. There was also ar.other rate—the county rate. Those who paid it appeared to imagine that the magis trate had power to fix the tax and spend the money without reference to the rate-payers. Let him undeceive them. The ratepayers had already directed the sum to be spent through their representatives in Parliament. If, therefore, Parliament ordered the building of a gaol, a lunatic asylum., &c., the magistrates sere only the agents in carrying out the act, and those who asked for a voice in that agency were asking for more than the constitution intended to give them, for they would not only have a voice in ordering the expenditure, but in spending the money also. The noble speaker concluded by proposing " Prosperity to the Northamptonshire Ag ricultural Society." (Cheers.) Mr. AUGUSTUS STAFFORD, M.P., proposed the next toast, " The Agricultural Labourers," and in the course of his speech referred to the subject of agricultural sta tistics. Alluding to the remarks of Sir Edward B. Lytton at Hitchin, that the bill of last session was founded upon the recommendation of a committee of the House of Lords, the evidence of which was collected, not from the representatives of the feelings and habits of the tenant farmers, but from Government officials, and that the said committee were "green" enough to believe the re presentations of these men, he (Mr. Stailord) would venture to add that, in the opinion of the, majority of the tenant farmers, so odd a "green cre e p" was never pro. duced as the bill on agricur :::1 statistics in the last session of Parliament. (Lord laughter.) He (Mr. Stafford) had bad some experience of the collection of agricultural statistics in Ireland. It was not done there by the Governmel .i e ; the police were simply requested to ask the diff e r en t ne i g hb our s certain questions, which they ;nigh. answer or not, and on the answers to those questio e s were founded the stetistics which were sent to Parliament. The tenant farmers of Ireland did not o'oject to this system, beceuee there was nothing inquisi• tor ial and compulsory in it ; and he believed that if the Government would bring in a bill which• should not be inquisitorial and compulsory, the tenant farmers of Eng land would readily respond, and the agricultural statistics of the empire would be generally collected, perhaps not so minute.y as to catalogue every egg that was laid, but sufficiently accurate to afford to the country and to the world all necessary information as to the agricultural capabilities of the island. (H , ar, hear.) It was urged by the press that a return was made of every pound of cotton imported. But did the manufacturer give an account of every pound of cotton be bought, spun, or wove, or ' did every shopkeeper tell the extent of his sales ? Well, then, lumen would say that agricultural statistics might, or might not, be useful to the commu nity at large, but that they at all events were able to manage their business without them. (Hear, hear.) The statistics of Ireland were no more guide to the occupiers there as to the state of the market than the Georgics of Virgil. What really would influence farmers, as well as the community at large, would be a knowledge of the quantity of coin to be expected from foreign parts, but of this it was impossible to have anything more than vague rumonrs. The returns from Scotland, too, of agricultural statistics formed no guide for the market, as it was known that they referred only to the crop of 1855, and not that of 1856. Well, then, the farmers felt this, that as a class they were not more likely to benefit than any other class by the provision of agricul teral statistics, and that, if the process were to be com• pulsory and inquisitorial, if they were to be annoyed and harassed by its exactions, they would one and all protest against it, and direct their representatives to resist it in every possible way.

TO the SHAREHOLDERS of the 'UNITY GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE ASSOCIATION. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, Although deeply grateful . for the confidence which you have reposed in me by placing at my disposal more than half the shares of your company, thus making me the arbiter of your wishes, I have, by the advice of my friends, and after careful deliberation, determined not to take any share in the management of either the Life or Fire Assurance offices. My reason for this determination is that I feel that the affairs of a bank require the most tranquil and cordial co-ope ration, free from tho e disturbing influences which might pos sibly arise from several directorates. I shall, therefore, as long as the shareholders desire it, con fine my attention to the interests of the Unity Bank. I trust that my determination will not be injurious to your institutions, to which, for many reasons, and as a very large shareholder, I sincerely desire every success. Again thanking you for the great confidence reposed in me, I ant, Ladies and Gentlemen, Faithfully yours, J. J. ➢iECIII. P.S. I must beg to decline acting on any Committee of either the Fire or Life Office. THE SEA SERPENT AGAIN! The following is an extract from the log book of the ship Princess, Captain A. K. N. Tremearne, in the London Docks, on the 15th inst., from China, viz. : " Tuesday, July 8, 1856. Latitude accurate, 34 deg. 56 min. S. ; -longitude, accurate, 18 deg. 14 min. E. ; gentle breeze, fine weather. At 1 p.m. saw a very large fish, with a head like a walrus, and 12 fins similar to those in a blackfish, but turned the contrary way ; the back was from 20 to 30 feet long, also a great length of tail. It is not improbable that this monster has betn taken for the great sea serpent. Fired, and hit it near the head with rifle-ball. At 8 wind fresh and fine." We submit that the repeated accounts of seeing a marine monster, whatever be its correct name or kind, yet harmonising in some leading descriptions, forbad longer doubt of some such creature existing, and we en close you a rough sketch (as this ono appeared), signed by Captain Tremearne, who has been kix years in our employ and is otherwise well known. His own private fog contains a similar record, and we have interrogated others of the Princess's crew, who assert the fact of such appearance. Captain Tremearne states that Captain Morgan, a pas senger by the Princess, but who at St. Helena joined the -hip Senator, to command her to Liverpool (where she is daily expcctel), also saw this monster, and can corro borate the sta'etnents. Until the 13th of October the Princess will be at Loudon-dock jetty, loading for Me bourne, anti natural ists or. other scientific persons can there make further inguilits, provided they do not subject Captain Tre tnearue to correspondence or interrupt ship's duties, which are uxgeut for her speedy departure. The annual inspection of the troops and the garrison establishment of Wool with was yesterday morning com menced by the Commandant, Major-General Sir W. F. Williams. The usual parade at guard mounting having been dispensed with, the C and D troops of Royal Horse Artillery, and Captain and Adjutant Calvert's detach ment v, ere assembled in review order on the common, under the direction of Col. E. C. Warde, C. 8., in corn mind. Brevet Lieut.-Col. Strange, Capt. Hill, Lieut. Strang ways, and Lieut. Stirling were attached to the C troop, and Major Earle and Lieut. Tillard to the D troop. The Commandant, attended by hid aide-cle-camp, Lieut.-Col. Teesdale, Brigade-Major Shaw, and Deputy- Assh.tant Quarterma , t :r-General Captain Fraetb, arrived on the ground at 10 o'clock. The inspection commenced, and was proceeding in the ordinary routine of a field day, when, at the sudden clang produced by unsheath ing the swords from the steel scabbards, a young and untrained horse on which Major Earle was mounted made a plunge among the ammunition waggons, and jammed the rider with ro much force against the wheels as to render the task of maintaining his seat a most difficult one. In this dilemma the major attempted to throw himself off, and unfortunately came in collision with one of the waggons. Blood was observed gushing over his face, and, when raised from his position, it was found that he had sustained a severely lacerated wound over the temple, besides contusions of the legs and ride from the unrestramable violence of the horse. The major was removed to his own quarters, and immediately attended by Dr. Alexander Ogilvie, Dr. Staunton, and three other medical officers of the Royal Ordnance Hospital, who have expressed a favourable opinion of his ultimate recovery. The Foxhound, 4, screw steam gunvessel, arrived at Woolwich yesterday, anti , after coaling, proceeded to Sheerness. The experimental paddlewhiel despatch gunboat Brune was yesterday morning.ohlered down the river to Sea reach on a trial trip, of her machinery. Mr. Atherton, chief engineer of Woolwich Dockyard and inspector of machinery, accompanied the vessel on behalf of Govern ment. The Admiralty yacht Vivid, Master-Commander Allen, wauesterday morning ordered to get up steam, and sail immediately for Davonport to await orders for special service. The paddle-wheel steam-yacht Black Eagle arrived at Woolwich on Thursday night from Portsmouth. A Norwegian transport, the Jonas Gabrielson, with chains, anchors, and 7,500 shot, from Sebastopol, en tered the outer basin of Woolwich Dockyard yesterday morning. The neither, a Norwegian transport, laden with a cargo of corn from the East, arrived at Woolwich yester day morning, and was ordered to the Victoria Docks to discharge. The Isabella Bligh and the Ordnance transport Lord Londesborough have been discharged the Government service at Woolwich. A court-martial, comprising Capts. Sir Thomas Mait land, C. 8., President; G. A. Eliott, J. Robb, G. H. Seymour, C. 8., G. Giffard, C. 8., T. S. Thompson, W. Pet l, C. 8., C. F.. A. Shadwell, C.ll, W. H. Stewart, C. 8., and Mr. W. J. Hellyer, deputy judge-advocate of the fleet, assembled on board the Victory flag-ship, at Portsmouth harbour, yesterday morning, to try Mr. T. Reece, acting assistant-engineer of the 3d class, serving on board her Majesty's gun-boat Hawk. for having on the 4th of August last, in Queenstown Harbour, quitted his ship without permission, his leave at the same time being stopped for having committed a similar offence, and for remaining on shore until brought on board the next day by a serjeant of Royal Marines. Toe C )art found the charge fully proved, and sentenced the pri soner to be discharged her Majesty's service and be de prived of all pay and allowances due to him. Her Majesty's ship Malacca, 17, Capt. Farquhar, left Spithcad yesterday for the Mediterranean. Rear-Admiral W. F. Martin, Superintendent of Ports mouth Dockyard, left yesterday with his flag in her Majesty's ship Fire Q'ieen, Mr. Paul, Master R.N., commanding, for Plymouth, to sit as a member of the court of inquiry commissioned to investigate the conduct of Captain Nias, C. 8., superintendent of the Royal William Victualling•yard. The Powerful, 84, Captain T. L. Massie (1854) has been towed up to Chatham dockyard, from Folly-point, for the purpose of being paid off. The Resistance, Government troopship, has arrived at Chatham from Woolwich, to be paid off. The Dido, Captain Williams, H. A. Morshead, was paid off at Sheerness yesterday. The Eurotat, Captain William Moorsom, was taken into the fitting basin at Sheerness yesterday to be dis masted. She is to be paid off on Monday. The new screw steamcorvette, Cadmus, 21 guns, passed through Sheerness harbour from Chatham at 10 a.m. yesterday, on a trial trip of her machinery, and returned again to Chatham in the evening. The following appointments were. made yesterday At the Admiralty : Frederick Skead, master, to the Tartarus ; Edward A. Bindon, second master, to the Impregnable ; John W. Dobbin, acting assistant•surgeon, to the Weser; Thomas F. Edgeworth, acting assistant-surgeon, to the Royal Albert; Wm. Connolly, acting assistant-surgeon, to the Arrogant; Thomas Craig, acting assistant surgeon, to the Imperieuse. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. This board sat yesterday, after a short recess, in the Council Chamber, Guildhall, for the transaction of busi ness devolving upon it ; Mr. Thwaites, the chairman, presiding. There was a large attendance of members, and no fewer than 73 different subjects upon the paper for consideration ; but that to which the most public interest attached was a supplemental report read by Mr. Razalgette, the engineer of the board, on the northern and southern drainage of the metropolis, in obedience to a resolution of the board on the 12th of August last, which referred back to him his previ‘nie reports, in order that he might report to them anew on the whole question. Mr. Bazalgette states in the document read yesterday, of which we give the material portions, that the metropolitan drainage scheme, as originally pro • pounded by him, is capable, without any material alte ration of design, of being adapted to a variety of points of outfall into the Thames, at various distaneei below London, or to the deodorisation or utilisation of sewage. Although the sewage of London cannot at present be profitably applied to agriculture in a commercial point of view, it may be advantageously deodorised and rendered inoffensive at Barking Creek and Woolwich marshes, or even nearer to London, and the Thames thus purified at less cost than by constructing sewers to a great distance below the metropolis. He is still of opinion that, in the aboence of deodorising works, the sewage may be dis charged into the Thames without nuisance at Halfway Reach, beyond the limits of the metropolis, in the manner already proposed for the south side of the Thames. Va rious propositions have, however, been made with regard to the position of the outfall and mode of discharge into the river, and with respect to the application of the sewage to agriculture. There appear to him to be four different modes by which the metropolitan sewage may be disposed of :--1. By retaining 'the points of outfall originally proposed at Barking Creek and Woolwich marshes, but dispensing it ith the reservoirs at those places, and substituting for them deodorising works, and discharging the purified waters into the Thames at all times of the tide, after having abstracted from them the deodorised manure, which would be available for agri cultural purposes. 2. By discharging the sewage into the river at Halfway Reach, beyond the limits of the metropolis, at and near high water, so that it should not reflow up the river within the limit of the metro polis, excepting on occasions of heavy storms, which occur on from 20 to 30 days per annum, and last for short periods only on those exceptional days, on which occasions the sewage would be highly diluted. 3. By discharging the sewage into the river at Long Reach during the first half of the ebb tide, reducing the ca pacity of the reservoirs, and preventing the reflow of the sewage into the river within the limits of the metropolis. 4. By conveying the sewage on the south side of the Thames underneath that river to the north side, and dis charging it at Sea Reach at all times of tide, so that it would not return within the limits of the metropolis, and dispensing with reservoirs, or by occasionally distri buting such sewage, or any portion thereof, as liquid manure over the lands or marshes through which it would be conveyed on its route to this outfall. The extension to Halfway Reach would involve an increased expendi ture of 345,1301. ; to Long Reach, 918,0601. ; to Sea Reach, 1,763, 324/.; and the addition of deodorising works to the original scheme, 1,273,4801. Th e su b s tit u ti on o f deodorising works for reservoirs at Barking Creek and Plumstead-marshes would involve the smallest expendi ture of capital, but the largest annual outlay. A further saving of probably nearly 500,0001. might be effected by terminating the sewers and establishing deodorising works on the south side of the river, and the West Ham marshes on the north side, which would in his judgment acc,implish the object desired withoutcreating a nuisance. He was still, after mature consideration, of opinion that the second proposition, or the extension of the (installs to Halfway Reach, would fully satisfy the requirements of the Le g islature, and be effective in a sanitary point of view, as already explained in his former reports upon this subject. At the conclusion of the report Mr. Les lie asked whether, regardless of expense, Mr. Bazalgette considered the proposal he had made would be equal to carrying off the entire drainage and the rain-water of the metropolis ? Mr. Bazalgette replied in the affirma tive, adding that he gave the preference to his second proposition. On the motion of Mr. Howe, seconded by Mr. Doulton, the report was ordered into consideration at a special meeting of the board on Wednesday next. Mr. Leslie gave notice that he should then move that the report be entirely negatived. CABE OF CHILD MURDER,—_A ini:lworker, named Mary Wood, has been apprehended in a village near Edinburgh for the inarder of her infant child by drown ing it in the Union Canal. She had given birth to the child about a fortnight previous in the Rlin burgh Maternity Hospital, and had just left that insti tution the day before its body was found in the water. It is said that the unhappy woman has confessed the crime with which she is charged. TO THE EDITOR Or THE SUN. Six, —Mr. Wilson, of the Treasury, Mr, W. Stirling, and other sycophants of Germanism, and abettors of the friuclulent appointments at the National Gallery, have, on various occasions, endeavoured to excuse the foisting upon us of the German, Herr Mundler, as " travelling agent," at the cost of 1,0001. a-year ; and, at the same time, their own servility, by affirming that that indivi dual was "favourably known" in the principal capitals of the continent. Mr. Stirling, however, ventured upon particulars, and specified Paris in support of that state ment. My personal experience of Herr Mundler justi fied me in immediately denouncing that assertion as a mere fabrication, meant to serve a particular purpose, for I knew it to be impossib!e that a man of his capacity and conduct could have won favourable consideration anywhere. I can now deal directly with the assertion regarding Paris, in every respect by far the first capital of the Continent, and where Messrs. Wilson and Stir ling's German client has resided many years ; where he is best known, and where our patriotic ministers picked him up. I have been at no small pains, during my stay here, to master this knotty point. The result of my re searches is a complete confirmation of all that I have at various times advanced in the public papers, and I offer those whom it may concern the benefit of my experience. The reply to my questions respecting the opinion enter tained here of Herr Mundler is invariably as follows : " Mundler n'est connu h Paris que pour un bavard, un intrigant, un faiseur, enfin, qui a empoisonnd is ville avec ses croutes—(a babbler, a time-server, a humbug, in short, who has poisoned the town with his daubs) jamais comme connoisseur. C'est un individu qui s'ineinue par des bassesses. On sail parfaitement n'est'er la Galerie Nationale de Londres qua parceque le Prince Albert a intriguiS pour l'y placer, et parceque emit nn Affemand. Si Monsieur Mundler poss4dait le moindre sentiment d'honneari ii n'y resterait pas une heure," &e. I have conversed with many Frenchmen here, con nected with art and well acquainted with this Mundler. I solemnly declare that I have beard but one account of him, and I defy contradiction. The thousands squan dered on those daubs, the "Adoration of the Magi," the "Botticelli," the "Giovanni Bellini," itc.,* the pertinacity with which be clings to a place into -which he was surreptitiously inducted, and the effrontery with which he holds that place in defiance of the Press and the feeling of the nation—a clique of jobbers and para sites excepted—prove to what a nicety he is appreciated in Paris. With regard to " Gustav Waagen," the few here who are acquainted with his name hold the same opinion of him as of hii associate, Mundler. They meet my in quiries about him with " C'est un Dacteui•, n'est ce pas ? —c'est ga. C'e , t un intrigant, un faisear, un meueur aussi, et tres stupide. Il aurait bien voulu s'imposer ici, mais ca n'a pas pris du tout. On dit qua lui et Mundler partagent—est ce vrai ?" "They say that he and Mun dler divide—is it true ?" • . I will add, that the English residents in Paris are both indignant and ashamed that their country should be dragged in the niire at the heels of incoippetent, in triguing, and mean-spirited aliens and the French, with a just sense of national honour, entirely sympathise with them.—l am, sir, yours obediently, Paris, Sept. 20. MORRIS MOORE. I have heard Mr. Davenport Bromley, a friend of " Doctor" Waagen, and Mr. Alexander Barber, of Picca dilly, express opinions of all these pictures similar to those publicly recorded by Mr. Wm. Coninghatu and myself. The "Doctor" speaks of these gentlemen, in his book, as men of rare judgment and authority on art. LONDON MISSION OF THE AGAPEMONE. Yesterday evening two members of the "Agapemone," near Bridgewater, appeared at the Hanover-square Rooms, according to their advertisement, " for the pur pose of publicly making known the testimony of what the Lord Jesus has done to redeem the earth." The large room was densely crowded. Two respectably dressed men, having nothing peculiar in their attire or appearance, spoke to the meeting, one after another, and urged the claims of their leader, "Brother Prince," to be regarded as the inspired author of a new revelation. They observed that some persons had been so foolish as to way that his followers regarded Mr. Prince as God, or as the Messiah, or the Holy Ghost ; but God forbid that any one, either in foolishness or in wickedness, should ever say such a thing. Brother Prince was by nature a child of wrath, but he had been made by grace a vessel of mercy. Some eleven years ago the Holy Ghost lui filed in Brother Prince ail that he came to be and to do, as the spirit of the Gospel dispensation emptied Brother Prince entirely of self, destroyed in him all personal consciousness, all independence, all knowledge of him self ; and thus the Holy Ghost becaine the life of - his body, and was enabled through him to carry on the pur pose f,r which Christ came on earth. The audience at this statement evinced much disapprobation and disgust, and some persons cried out that it was gross Wasphemy, and worse than M irtnonism. The speaker, who sie•ned quits imperturbable, and who calmly surveyed the meet ing through a single glass stuck jauntily in one eye, pro ceeded to allude to a second spiritual manifestation, which, he said, occurred at the Agapemone about five years ago, in which case the phenomenon was exhibited in the person of a woman, a prophetess, "not privately, but in the presence of us all." Some of the expressions used by the speaker in describing this transaction were probably misunderstood by many of his hearers, for they interrupted him indignantly, and at last stopped him with a very general howl of execration. The two stran gers, who preserved their impassive demeanour, then re tired from the room ; upon which Mr. NEwsrsN, apparently a working man, rose and denounced the doctrines and practices of the Agapemone as impious. He moved as a resolution that the state ments which had been made by the two persons from the platform that evening were contrary to common sense, degrading to humanity, and blasphemous towards God. Toe iesolution was carried with aclamation, and amidst vociferous cheers. _ _ A sergeant of police then stepped forward, and good humourediy said, "Now, gentlemen, the meeting is over," and the proceedings terminated. THE LATE LORD HARDINGE. His lordship was a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath, a Knight Grand Cross of the Red Eagle of Prussia, of Wilhelm of the Netherlands, of the Tower and Sword of Portugal, and of St. Ferdinand of Spain. He had a gold cross and five silver &asps for Roleia, Coruona, Douro, Busaco, Torres Vedras, Albuera, Badaj •z, Ciudad R drigo, Salamacca„ Vittoria., Pampeluna, Pyrenees, Nivelle, Nive, and Orthes ; and also had a medal arid two clasps for Moodkee, Feroze shah, and Sobraon. The deceased viscount's commissions bore date as fol low :—Ensign, Oct. 8, 1798 ; lieutenant, March 25, 1302 ; captain, April 7, 1804 ; major, April 13, 1809 ; lieut.-lolonel ' May 30, 1811 ; colonel, July 19, 182 1 ; maj 'r-general, July 22, 1830 ; lieut.-general, Nov. 23, 1841 ; general, 1854 ; and field-marshal, 1855. His lordship was in the receipt of a pew-ion for the loss of his arm at L;gny, and enjoyed a pension of 5,0001. per annum for his services in India while he was a Gover nor-General. The noble and gallant viscount is succeeded in his hereditary honours by his eldest son, the Hen. Charles Stewart Hardinge, M.P. for Downpatrick, who was born in 1822, and was private secretary to his father when Governor-General in India. He married, last spring, Lady Lavinia Bingham, second daughter of Major-General the Earl of Lucan. A vacancy occurs in the representa tion of Downpatrick, which he has represented since August, 1852, by his elevation to the peerage. The deceased lord married Lady Emily, daughter of the first Marquis of Londonderry, and widow of Mr. John James, by whom he leaves issue, in addition to the successor to the title, Colonel the Hon. Arthur Hardinge (Coldstream Guards), the Hon. Frances Elizabeth, married to Major. General Cunynghame, and the Hon. Emily Caroline, unmarried. By the lamented demise of his lordship, the familielof the Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry, the Marchioness (Frances) of Londonderry, the Mar quis Cambden, Colonel and Lady Caroline Wood, the Earl and Countess Vane, and many others of rank are placed in mourning. TEE WOMAN ;FLOGGING IN MARYLE. BONE. At the usual weekly meeting a communication was real from the Poor-law Commissioners, requesting the guardians to reconsider their decision with reepect to the master of the workhouse. The letter concluded with the following passage : "Unless, however, the directors and guardians are pre pared to take the former course, I am directed to inform you that the board having decided that the master is unfit to fill his office will have no other alternative than to adopt the littler." The following resolution was passed by the board : " That the board of guardians of St. Marylebone, hav ing already decided upon the case, decline further to consider the same, espe - ciaßy as the Poor-law Board, iu their communication of the 11th hut., state 4 that no mere change of the officers et the house will enable the directors and guardians successfully to cope with the evi's which exist.' The report of a special committee appointed to inquire into an alleged flagrant outrage committed on a young lady by Green, the porter, who was cone( reed iu the late flogging business, and who had been retained in the ser. vice of directors, was next brought up and read. The committee stated that the charge had bee❑ clearly proved against Green and his wife, and recommended that they should be reprimanded. Dr. Bachhoffeer and others wiehed for Green's instant cfsmi33Bl. Atter some discussion the motion for the dismissal of the accused was carried, and the board, after a length ened discussion upon scme charges of irregularity against the medical officers of tie house, whose diSmissals were nearly carried, adjourned alter a lengthened meeting. (Front the Daily News.) BRUSSELS, SEPT. 25. The Congress met to-day at twelve o'clock, in the splendid gothic house opposite the old Town hall, in the splendid gothic room of the Literary and Artistic So ciety. The addition to the list of pamphlets for distri bution was on "The Past and Future of the old Flemish Ports, Bruges, Ostend, and Nieuport." In this pamph let a contrast is drawn between free and protected ports. To this protection, it is asserted, is due the de cline of Bruges, of Nieuport, of Ostend. "To compare our port of to-day," said some Marseilles writer, " with the port of former times, would be to compare death with life." This state of death, it is asserted, is the con dition of the F einish ports in question. The Congress was thinly attended. The secretary having read a report of yesterday's preceedinge, the Pre sident proceeded with the bu s i ne7s o f th e d a y. In the first place a letter from a M. P o li c a n t was rea d, asking to be heard on a general question. He was su pported by M. Pascal Duprat. It was arranged that the gen tleman should be heard at the conclusion of the business of the day. M. de Brouckere then read a copy of the address it was proposed to send to the King, thanking his Majesty for the opportunity the free institutions he had known how to preserve to the Belgians had affordel them of calmly discussing the great subject of customs reforms. The address concluded with ex press-eons of gratitude for the opportunity given them of carrying out their business in Brussels ; and of con gratu'ation on the brilliant fetes that had been offered to his Majesty on the twenty-fifth anniversary of his advent to the throne. This address was carried unani mously, with the exception of one voice —that, it was understood, of a Belgian communist. M. de Brouckbee then ietroduced two propositions to the Congress, which he proposed should be debated before the rest, viz., one to abolish octrois, and one to abolish the salt tax. He proposed to allow one hour for the discussion of the former, and half an hour for that of the latter. Each speaker was to be allowed ten minutes. After the reading of the sections' report on the octroi, Wolowski, of the French Institute, declared Vast he had been in favour of their abolition, but ha must con fess that be had been converted to the other side. In the first place, he would state that the question should not have been introduced at ail to the Congress. It was a fiscal, not a protective duty ; and the object of the. Congress was to substitute fiscal for protective duties. He referred the Congress to Mr. Cobden's letter. He f was persuaded that the wants of the towns ma de octrois the present inevitable. It had been pr o p osed often to abolish the octrois and tax houses ; but this would have an effect exactly like that of the octroi it would supplant, for the landlord would add the duty to the rent. It had been said that England was an apt example of the possibility of suppressing octrois ; but in England indirect taxes were more easily carried out than in other countries. Monsieur Faider succeeded M. Wolowski. He al luded to M. Wolowski's statement that it was unpopular to support octrois. He didn't care whether this imposi tion was popular or enpopalae—all he wanted to esta blish was that it was against reason. It was simply a question—the old question—as to the preference the world should give to direct or to indirect taxation. Thiers had maintained that indirect taxation was the sign of a barbarous nation—in this case Englishmen and Americans were savages. It had been said that the octroi was a fiscal and not a protective duty : he contended that it was a protective duty, and a most oppressive one, touching raw materials—materials of general consunp- Mon. Why, in Brussels there was an octroi duty on wood. E iere were protective duties in various towns on shoes, to protect shoemakers ; on clothes, to protect tailors. At Liege the octroi levied duties upon every thing, oven eau-de-Cologne and pomatum. The meat of the inhabitants of Brussels was taxed to the amount of 32,0001. They had a set of octroi servants, who lounged about the town gates, peeped into baskets, were particu lady severe with pretty women, and cost 6,0001. a-year. Did they propose to let meat free through the frontier to reserve all the pleasure of taxing it at the town gates ? It was this belief that a house tax was the proper substi tute for the octroi. As regards fiscal duties, if they must tax beer, for instance, the way was to tax it in the manufactory, and not in retail quantities at the town gates. M. de Brouckere now left the chair and ascended the tribune to give the reasons why he had c , ntinually op posed the system of octrois since 1848. To abolish the octroi, however, was not enonih. He thought that the proposition should be altered ; that the question, instead of beim , referred to the International Free trade Con gress, should be referred to the delegates of the various countries, and that they should be recommended to form local committees, having for object the abolition of this obnoxious task. It was not an international question. There were no octrois in England or S wig zerland, and in those countries where it existel they were distinct and different from those of their neighbours. After a few words from M. Pascal Duprat, the President's proposi- Von, "That the Congress declares a wish that some tax be substituted for the system of octrois, and that com mittees be formed in those countries where octrois existed to advocate their abolition," was carried. _ The next proposition ae regards the salt duty having been set aside, 33 beyond the pr ftvince of the Congrev, The next proposition was to the effect that all duties on alimentary substances should be at once and finally abolished. This proposition, the author of which was M. Berthoud, secretary of the Chmuber of CoalruercJ of iltarseill• , , was carried unanimously, after a few words from M. Pascal Duprat. The third proposition—that of M. D'Ai jou—ran as follows :—" That the Congress expresses a wish that the high duties on foreign wines levied in England should be rAuced." This proposition elicited some discussion, in the course of which a delegate raid be spoke from his own personal experience when he said that you never saw drunken people when wine was plentiful. It was carried unanimously, with one dissentient voice. An amendment of M. Pascal Duprat, to that calling for the abolition of all duties on raw materials, viz., that protective duties on iron and coal should be gradu ally but definitively abolished, was carried after a short discussion. _ _ _ Then M. Garnier's proposition—that, indeed, in cluded all the rest—was put forward. Briefly it meant this—that the Congress expreesod a hope that a general, gradual, and total reform of custom duties be carried out in all countries ; and that the Congress reproves all domiciliary vis►ts, prohibitions, reprisals, and premiums on exportation. This proposition, each cl Live of which was voted upon separately, was carried almost unani- mously. M. P,rennus, of Switzerland, then spoke on the finan cial advantages to governments of commercial freedom; and was followed by Mr. Richard Bird, of Manchester, on the high duties still imposed in England. He cited the tea duties, as equal to 150 per cent. ad valorem, and noticed that the Chinese received our manufactures at 5 per cent. The business of the Congress now being at an end, M. Corr Vandamaree read the statutes of his Interna tional Free Trade League. He announced that Mr. Cobden had been appointed its English representative. Among other foreign representatives was M. Mona, for Spain. There was to be an international fund, a cen tral office in Brussels, and a subscription of 12 franca from each meaiber, together with voluntary subgci fp tions. M. Brouckere then thanked the International Free Trade League far the promptitude with which they had organised themselves. After speeches from M. Policant and M. Kuranda, for Austria ' a proposition was put in from M. Cipri, re questing that the Congress would express a hope that the Governments of Italy would call together a congrees at Florence to harmonise their commercial laws in the interest of free trade. M. Cipri spoke in favour of his proposition, and assured the Congress aat it would have a great effect in Italy. A delegate having spoken against it, MM. Arrivabene and Cassati begged M. Cipri to withdraw his proposition. Withdrawn accorAngly. M. Cogels then put in a resolution advocating the simplification and codification of customs duties. The author of this proposition supported it in a speech show.- ing the complicated and.unintelligible state in which the Customs;laws of Belgium remained. Carried unanimously, with the exception of one voice. The President, in closing the Congress, hopsd that all to whom he had spoken . harshly in the course of the sit ting, would attribute it to the heat of debate. Ile be lieved the battle was won. Let the n thank once more, and in conclusion, the Belgian Association for the Reform of Customs Duties. (Immense applause.) M. Sciajoia proposed a vote of thanks to the chair man, which was carried with great applause, and so brought the meetings of the Congress to a close. FATAL COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—On Wednesday Mr . Badger, coroner, opened an inquest at the Red l n Inn, Thorpe Hexley, near Sheffield, on view of the bodies of Samuel Smith, aged 20 years, and Samuel Hodge .n, aged 14 years, who were killed on the pre v i ous d ay by au explosion of firedamp at the Grange-lane Colliery, belonging to Mr. Joseph Stenton, of Ecclesfield. The pit has been sunk but a short time, and the workings, which are not extensive, are as yet in a somewhat in complete state. The deceased went to work at 6 o'clock on Tuesday morning, and about 11 o'clock John Fox, the underground steward, entered a beading in their board3ate with a lighted candle. There being an accu mulation of inflammable gas, an explosion instantly succeeded, which was so powerful as to blow away the hoard and other parts of the gearing at the top of tho shaft. The only person engaged in the boarilgate at the time of the explosion besides the deceased were Fox and Willoughby Wood. Shortly after the explosion Fox and Wood arrived at the bottom of the shaft very seriously injured, and were at once drawn up and re moved to their homes. In the meantime two men, named Moxon and Rodgers, courageou'ly descended to s: , arch for the deceased. Hodgson they found lying under a waggon, which had been blown upon him by the force of the e xplosion, and severely injured about the head. He expired shortly afterwards. Smith was found at a little distance, severely burnt and quite dead. Fox and Wood were 30 ill as to be unfit for examination before the jury, and the inquiry was adjourned to Thursday next for their evidence and for the attendance • of Mr. C. Morton, the Government inspector, who will in the meantime make au examination of the pit. MEGA g . DUBLI. till THE GREAT BANK S', ,LADLES The Evening Post has some se.: reference to an analysis of the MI British Bank which appeared in , of The Sun, character.sing it as " an as . expo sure of iniquity on the one hand, and of utter credulity on the other." The Post thus touches upon the Scotch element in the composition of tl e management : "It would be very unjust, and, indeed, it would be very absurd, to draw from those facts any inference pre ju:iicial to Scotchmen, on the same ground that it would b 3 most monstrous to fix any stain noon Ireland in con sequence of the swindling of -Sadleir, or to stigmatise England in regard to the frauds of Straban, Paul, and Co. Nationality has nothing at -all to; do with theses tran=actionB, ' - 4er, afford- men's lamentable -- evidence of the Vat, - Win credulity, and of the manner in which advantage has been - taken of that cre dulity to bring ruin upon many a family." The Dublin journal, with pardonable vanity, then pints to au instance in which the genuine banking establishments in Ireland have manifested a discretion and knowledge which certainly offer a striking contrast to.the loose and immoral proceed ings just brought to light at the other side of the channel. Here is the case alluded to : " We happen to know that, about the time of the sus pension of Mr. Oliver, of Liverpool, bills of the Royal British Bsnk of London were sent for discount to this city ; but they were then refused. One of the banks in Dublin caused inquiries to be made in London as to the condition of the British Bank, and the result was that the bills were rejected here. That happened nearly two years ago ; and we are glad to have it in our power to mention this fact, so creditable to the Irish banks, whose thriving condition —the effect of really prudent manage ment—is so intimately connected with the prosperity of this part of the united kingdom. The moral to be de. rived from the disclosures about the British Bank is the imperative necessity, henceforward, of a bona fide audit, not alone of balances and ordinary accounts, but an exa mination of all over-drawn accounts and the securities standing against them." With respect to the two great bank swindles of the current year people here are beginning to think it would have been as well had the Master of the Rolls given full publicity to the names of the three establishments recorded in the celebrated letter of John Sadleir as the models for his conduct of the Tipperary Bank. Even now, perhaps, it would not be too late for the revelation. A preliminary meeting ef the creditors of Sad leir's Bank was held yesterday in the town of Tip perary, the Very Rev. Dr., gowley, PP., in the chair, when it was determined to ofiI; a gOnerat meeting of the depositors of that branch of the concern for Thursday next, in order to concert mea sures for some amicable adjustment of their claim, and to save all parties from the ruinous conse quences of protracted litigation. The bare prospect of the issuing of 2,000 writs has, after all, had a beneficial effect upon the drowsy creditors. THE DUBLIN CRIMEAN BANQUET. So far everything progresses satisfactorily, and neither politics nor polemics have disturbed the general harmony. Archbishop Cullen has sent in a donation of 51., and the Rev. Mr. Parseley, the Roman Catholic garrison chaplain, and in all re spects quite a model clergyman, has contributed an excellent letter upon a subject which cannot fail to excite attention at the present time, when the interests and comforts of the private soldiers are so justly the objects of public solicitude. The rev. gentleman, in forwarding his subscription, ex presses a regret that some less transitory token of public approbation has not been adopted than a mere banquet, and he adds : "There is an object much more dear to the soldier's heart than even the flattering approval of his country, and that is the welfare of his children. Let us consider what sympathy this interesting object ha 3 met with from the country. There are two well endowed institutions — the Duke of York's school in England, and the Hibernian School in the Plazenix-park, both of which are mere nur series for Cie army, as they afford refuge only to the sons of soldiers, who are trained in them for military life, while the daughters—`the most helpless of the soldier's family' —now deprived of the shelter which these institutions would afford—are left to the precarious charity of friends (if they have any) as destitute as themselves. You will accord me your sympathy in this matter when I inform you that during 23 years' attendance on the military hos pitals in Dublin, I have attended many and many a gallant fellow whose last moments were embittered by gloomy forebodings as to the future fate of his children, particularly of his daughters. Oh 1 Sir, how elevate a soul, so oppressed, to thoughts of another and brighter world—how calm the heart thus racked with the idea that his children had no prospect but the poorhouse, beggary, or worse I On this subject I was honoured with many interviews by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, when commanding the Leinster district, at the first of which I informed him of a regulation just then made by the Board of Governors of the Hibernian School, prohibiting for the future the admission of female children. His Grace turned to Major-General (then Colonel) Forster, and asked him—if not with an expres sion of indignation, at least with surprise—' flow they could think of shutting the door of that institution against t se most helpless of the soldier's family,' and added that ' be was going to London, and would try to have reversed a resolution of which he highly disapproved.' His Royal Highness then made me—,not for the first time—the me dium of his charitable donation to a widow with four daughters, left destitute by a soldier who had been 16 years a se'jeai.t. Freer' my experience of the deep in terest whim his Grace takes in the comfort and welsra of the soldier I take this opportunity sincerely to con gratulate the army on Isis Royal Highness's appoint ment to the command-in-chief of her Majesty's brces, land I 'nay venture to assure you , sir, of his Ro y al sym t achy if you sill lend your powerful aid in behalf of those whom he so feelingly designated the most help less of the soldier's family.' In conclusion; I would ask, could the residue of the patriotic' and ‘cenlral relief funds subscribed since the opening of the war be better applied than to found two orphan asylums—one for the Catholic, and the otin r for the Protestant daughters of soldiers who had been lawfully married ?" THE DUBLIN HOSPITALS. The following is the list of the new Board of Superintendence of the Hospitals of Durham, ap auscsattti satis faction f last 13, t ,o e ns d 3: Lo b n y the L. oTd h L rrea o sir Talbot - e L te t i d e i eoui Malahide,aasn o.t given e c r h itele general Justice Monahan, Sir Philip Crampton, Mr. G.

The secretat y, who is to receive a salary, is not yet appointed. MR. S2NIITII 0-BRIEN. One of the Limerick papers states that, whether his consent be given or withheld, no event is more probable than the election of Mr. Smith O'Brien by two, if not three, of the great constituencies of the province of Munster when the next dissolution of Parliament, occurs. Were the Liberator himself in the land of the living he could not expect greater honour than this. THE ART TREASURE'S The daily papers publish further lists of valuable pictures to k.e contributed to this grand exhibiticn of art. Lord Carlisle has placed at the disc oral of the committee a very fine selection of pictures flout his3allery at Castle Howard, of which the following is a Hit : Ludovico Carracci The Entombment 1 i itoretto Tintoretto AlabuEe Francisco Pi imaticcio Penelope and Ulisso3 Acuibale Carracci Three Marys Domenichino Paul Brill Adrian Brouwer Correggio The Mabuse, Annibale Carracci, and Correggio are pies tures of a very high class, and the whole collection will be a great acquisition. A letter was received from Lord. Spencer also, whose collection at Althorp is one of the richest in the kingdom, offering a very fine selection of pic tures from his gallery. A. list had been made out by Dr. Waagen for the committee of 23 pictures in Lord Spencer's possession, of the highest class, which he considered would add greatly to the attraction of the exhibition, and would help to carry out the chronological history, of art, which is one of the objects aimed at. This list was sent to his lord ship, and it was felt that such a list was a largo demand upon one individual's liberality, but the noble earl has re plied by not only placing these works at their disposal, but adding that he b e li eve s s ince Dr. Wartgen's visit additions have been made to his collection of very great value, a se - I.sction from which would add interest to tne exhibition, and he kindly invites the committee to send some person to examine and select from the se additional pictures. Among the pictures which Lord Spencer, with such remarkable liberality, has already promised are :—A small Raphael, a valuable ' specimen of Paris Borden°, a Van Cleve, a Van Orley, three magnificent Vandykes, a Rubens, two Rewbrandts, a Phillippe de Champagne, a Mignard, and a Baroccio. A letter from Mr. Walter, of the Times, kindly offers to contribute one of the finest specimens of the mas ter in England, a picture by Paul potter ; and if the com mittee should be desirous of receiving further conti ibu tions, he will gladly show his collection to any one they may send to l3earwood for that purpose. Mr. B. Dobree also places some very valuable pictures by the English masters at the service of the committee, including Wilkie a, Morland's, and Turner's. Lord De Tabley offers two of" Turner's grandest pictures, and any further selection they, may choose to make. Lord Sheffield promises two cele brated portraits by Sir Joshua Reynolds, one of them a. portrait of Gibbon, the historian ; and Lord Dartmouth, pictures by Claude, Snyders, Rubens, Wilson, and Law rence. Tho committee, it will be seen from a glance ate even this brief list, continue to receive offers of the most encouraging kind, and there can be no doubt that the ex hibition will be one of extraordinary attraction and value. THE CASE OF LIEUT. DE,ANE.—Major An lerson, of the 22d Regiment, in a letter to the Times, this morning, comp!ains of the remarks of the ed.tor, 'who, in an aricle, asserted "That Captain Barlow was placed undtr ar rest. That his books and chest were transferred to a committee of paymastership, of which I was president. That the chest was examined and font d empty." There circumstances never occurred. Captain Ballow's money chest was never examined, for I felt I could not order such a step without at the same time relieving him pub licly in regimental orders from his duties as Paymaster; and this was not done till Lieut. Deane arrived at Pew hawur: • • ,t 9l
