PENALTIES. The Commissioners of Inland Revenue llereby Give Notice, That every person taking, killing, or pursuing game, without first obtain ing a certificate, incurs a penalty of 201., and is also liable to be sur charged in double the amount of the certificate duty. Any person in pursuit of game refusing, on being duly required, to Produce his certificate, or to permit the same to be read, or a copy thereof to be taken, or refusing to declare his true name and place of residence, also incurs a penalty of 201. Gamekeepers are desired to take notice that a certificate at the rate of 1/. 7s. 6d. will not authorise any person to kill game beyond the limits of the manor for which he is deputed ; and, in order that a certificate at such a rate of duty may protect a gamekeeper, it is requisite, not only that he should be deputed by some lord or lady of a manor or reputed manor, but also that such deputation should be registered with the Clerk of the Peace, or the gamekeeper will be liable to be surcharged in doable the duty of 41. Os. 10d , and also to be prosecuted by any common informer for the penalty of 201. N.B.—lt is the intention of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue to publish in a separate list the names and residences of all persons surcharged in double duty for sporting without certificates. " Of 'A Life's Lessons,' the new tv.vel by Mrs. Gore, we can report most favourably, and without drawback on our praise."—Examiner " This is the very book for a country house when May-fair and Belgravia are out of town. The interest never flags."—Literary Gazette. " PALERMO, Nov. 23. " Disturbances have taken place in SiCily. 0 wing to the diffieulty of communication, the exact extent of the movement which has taken place cannot yet be ascertained, but it seems that in the province of Palermo the speedy arrival of the troops on every point where tranquillity was threatened has led to the triumph of the Government. I have gathered the following details respecting the move ment on the 22d of November : The number of troops discharged for St. Mary's Bar racks, Chatham, during the month of November, was nearly 1,000 men of all ranks, selected from various cavalry and infantry regiments on the British establish• meat as well as the East India and colonial corps. The number of Inert still awaiting their discharge at Chatham is . about 1,400. The Kaenny Moderator says :—" On Tuesday an order was received permitting volunteerinn. from the 16th Lancers here for the 2d and 3d Dragoon Guards, which are to be made light cavalry regiments and to proceed to India. Some of the 16th gave in their names to volun teer accordingly." Nottingham has been again made a military station. On Friday la't a battery of the Horse Artillery arrived there from Woolwich and took up their quarters at the barracks. The depot of the 79th Highlanders was to leave Aber deen on Saturday for Stirling Castle, where, with the 42d, they will form a depot Highland battalion, under Lieut.-Colonel Muller. A reserve detachment of the 79th, consisting of 5 officers and 120 men, will shortly leave Aberdeen for Canterbury, under Lieut.-Colonel Clepbane, to join the service - compailies of the regi ment. " '1 11 is most interesting novel is well calculated to add to the repu• t Mien of Mrs Gore."—Observer. Hurst and Blackett, Publishers, successors to Henry Celburn. AN ILLUSTRATED EDITION OF THE COURSE OF TIME. A POEM By ROBERT FOLLOK, " On Saturday evening, the 22d of November, the com mander of the escort which usually accompanies the dili gence from Palermo to Messina was having the toll-bar lowered between Bellefrate and Mezzojuso, about 20 miles from Palermo, when several shot 3 were fired at him. Thinking they wero brigands, he took to flight, ordering back the diligence. The Syndic, of Bellefrate, informed of the occurrence, sent immediately a detachment of 'militia to clear the road, bet it was attacked by about 60 insur gents, of whom about 20 were mounted, and the militia men were obliged to retreat before superior numbers. " The Sicilian Government at once took steps to stifle in its birth an attempt at insurrection which might compro mise public tranquillity, and perhaps interrupt the com munication between•Messina and Palermo. Troops were sent against the insurgents, and the latter, surrounded in a wood, were compelled to leave 16 prisoners in the hands of the troops.

It appears this has brought down so much virulence against me personally, that to show the cause I had to explain myself. I shall just quote from the minute book, to which, I !presume, you can refer. The first entry refers to the patentee, and runs thus :—" That the patentee receive 3,000 paid-up shares, 2001. in cash, and 51. ss. per annum for each omnibus running ; that the Company run no omnibus but the ' Saloon ; and that in case of amalgamation, sale, or other disposal of the Company, the patentee's interest is increased to 7,0001., 5,0001. of which is to be in cash, and 2,0001. in paid-up shares." - This - ends the first minute, and with it, as I and others presumed, the Patentee's bargain with the Company, and for which he was to bear all expenses to the 28th October. A subsequent minute, read about twelve days after, runs thus—" That 2,700 paid-up shares be placed, 1,000 each to Mr. Shilliber (a Director) and Mr. Jones (the Solicitor of the Company), the other 700 to be placed as the Patentee and Mr. Jones should think most advisable "—at the same time the names of four Directors were mentioned who were to have 100 each, and it was given to be understood that the remaining 300 were to be divided between the Contractor and the "irresponsible individual" I alluded to in my letter of the 26th ult. • Now, gentlemen, I leave the result to your own judgment ; and recollect that, Mr. Jones, the Solicit or, had settled upon the amount of his annual salary. That your funds have gone to pay for attacks on public and priwat 3 character, the various squibs, cautions, posters, &e., which have been managed by the " irresponsible individual," fully bear oat. Now, as to the motion proposed by. Mr. Parker on the 19th November, and which I seconded, " That no person was to sit as director on the 26th who had not qualified," he pre mised that on looking over the share-roll he found only three directors' names who had signed for their shares, only one of whom (in fact himself) had paid. I made known my inten tion of opposing any person endeavouring to qualify on paid up shares, and knowing on the 26th that no further payment had been made by a director, I tested it by sending in my re signation. On Thursday, the 27th, I was told that the minutes had been waived fur a fortnight to meet the conve nience of certain directors. On Friday, the 28th, at oue o'clock, I looked at the share roll book, in presence of the patentee, and drew his attention to it, that not one director's name had been added to the list on or singe the 26th, and then and there I sat down and wren the letter I published that evening. Now, gentlemen, was I or not justified in acting as I did ? Put it to each of yourselves; and am I for this to be abused and placarded out of your and my own funds ? However, this part is iu the hands of my solicitor.—l remain' your obedient servant, A. H. ST. JOHN O'NEILL. 37, Moore-street, Chelsea, Dec. 5, 1856.

A CURIOUS CEREMONY.—During the past week hand. bills have been posted in and about Braintree announc ing the presentation of a " moke" (donkey) to Henry Ogan by the landlord of the Bird-in-Hand Inv, as a r ward for the faithf u l p er formance of a promise not to swear or use profa ne l anguag e for si x mon th s. The novel gift was accordingiy, ora the 24th inst., plac e d i n a cart drawn by six other "noddies," and a procession was formed, headed by a pair of horses and a vehicle deco rated with evergreens and colours, and containing a brass band, and the hero Ogan, and after parading the principal streets of the town, returned to the Bird-in-Hand, where, before separating, they were entertained with an abun dant buppb , of good cheer,--Chelmsford Chronicle. " A portion of the insurgents succeeded, however, in escaping in the direction of Cefalu, on the coast between Messina and Palermo, at 40 miles distance from the latter. A. detachment of 800 men was embarked on toard a war steamer to follow the insurgents to their retreat... After remaining three hours before the town the troops entered" without opposition. To-day the road between Palermo and Messina is again open, and the diligence runs as usual." " MESSINA, Nov. 29. "Despite the excitement caused by the news from Pa• lerrno, this city is tranquil. The police have, however, thought it advisable to take meaeures of precaution ; the -posts are doubled, but no one has as yet been arrested. "At Catania placards are said to have been posted on the walls with the words 'Long live the hereditary Prince!' Long live the Constitution of 1812 !' But the police tore them down without opposition from the people. "The Neapolitan steam corvette lirena, stationed at Alessina, left on the 28th for Naples, where she is to take in 1,000 men and artillery." The Italian papers give very little information on the subject. The Opinions of Turin, of the 2J, says : " It appears certain that the movement is confined to the neighbourhood of Palermo, and has not spread to the city, where great excitement prevailed, and where the police had hastily arrested some hundred persons. As is gene rally the case under such circumstances reports are cur rent of outbreaks elsewhere, as at Messina, Catania, Gir genti, and other places. The letters we have before us mention as leaders M. Marco, a lawyer and ex• Deputy of the Sicilian Parliament, and his brother-in-law, Benti venga, formerly in the army. A steamer is expected at Genoa to-morrow from Naples, when we shall probably have fuller details." The Italia e Popolo, the organ of Mazzini, says :-- "We bur from Palermo that the events we have so ar duously wished for have commenced. The first step has been most favourable, as 600 armed men were enabled to assemble at a moment's notice, led by men of talent and energy. " The movement commenced at Mezzojucto, about two voiles from Palermo. Although at so short a distance from that city, the police were a whole day inactive. All the neighbouring districts—Tillafrate, Bonnira, Vicari, Ci mino., have fieen, . " Fetes, concerts, and illuminations have been held. The conduct of our brothers has been most sensible. There has been no pillage, no effusion of blood, no act of violence, but brotherly love throughout. At the moment lam writ ing I learn that the insurrection is spreading, and we hope for success. The rallying cry is Vivo 1' Italia !' The flag is a tricolour, without arms or municipal device." A letter, dated Nov. 25, addressed to a merchant at Genoa, says : " The country around Palermo is in insurrection, and a movement in the town is expected every moment." THE BESSEMER PROCESS. (Prom the Birming?eam Journal:) When, on the first publication of Mr. Bessemer's inven tion, we subjected the process to such an examination as the data then furnished to the public permitted, we ex pressed the belief that many particulars were wanting which appeared to us essential to a correct estimate of its value. The high pretensions with which Mr. Bessemer's process was ushered into the world and the importance of the manufacture to which it refers alike required that no particulars should be withheld essential to the justification of those pretensions, and to the solution of a question which agitated the most important manufacture of the empire. The misgivings we had at that time were expressed in these words :—" Especially important, too, is it that accu rate chemical analysis should be resorted toto showthe com position of this iron, and to prove that the new process will truly purge it of sulphur and phosphorus, as we understand Mr. Bessemer to say it will—elements the presence of 1 per cent, of which is fatal to the quality of the iron." So far as we are aware, this important information has not been (communicated to the public, and so long a time has now elapsed that we despair of receiving it from the quarter it was most naturally expected from. In the hope of contributing to the settlement of a question which has already too long disturbed the public mind, we have im posed upon ourselves a task which we think should have been spared us, and present to our readers such an analysis of Mr. Bessemer's iron as we have been daily hoping to see published by that gentleman himself. The specimen we have experimented upon possesses those physical properties which, from repeated descriptions, the public are suffi ciently familiar with. The iron consists of an agglutinated mass of large brilliant crystallin e gra i ns , possessed of a very imperfct malleability, flatteni ng under the blow of a hammer, but almost invariably cracking at the edges. It is wholly destitute of a fibrous structure, and only after having been repeatedly heated and drawn out in a smith's f or ge exhibits the properties of an inferior wrought iron. On analysis it was found to have the following composi tion Iron Phosphorus Sulphur Carbon Silicon 98.9 1.08 0.16 0.05 trace 100.19 This composition is so accordant with the physical pro perties of the iron that, the composition being given, the chemist would have had no difficulty in predicating its more marked characteristics. Its crystalline structure and fusibility are very satisfactorily accounted for. In order more exactly to illustrate the nature of the changeeffected by Mr. Bessemer's treatment, we append an analysis of refined iron produced at a large establishment in the neigh. bourhood of Birmingham. We are indebted to the cour. test' of Percy for this analysis. It was made in his labo ratory by one of his assistants, Mr. Dick ; the iron was obtained only 7, few months ago, and may be regarded as representing the average composition of refined iron as made at the present moment in this neighbourhood. Iron Carbon (combined) Phosphorus ... 0.734 Silicon Sulphur 0.157 Manganese Residue, insoluble in hydrocloric acid The residue, insoluble in hydrochloric acid, yielded— Silica 0.3 Alumina, with a little peroxide of iron 0.14 0.44 In contrasting the change effected by Mr. Bessemer's treatment with that of the refinery, the following particu lars force themselves strongly upon our notice. Mr. Bee semer's method removes most effectually the carbon and the silicon, while in the refinery these aro but little dimi nished. The carbon is eliminated with a perfection which we should scarcely have thought possible, but we are with out information as to the sacrifice at which this has been effected ; the amount of iron oxidised by the vivid combus tion which Mr. Bessemer induces we are unable to ascer tain. The point which most prominently strikes the che mist in Mr. Bessemer's iron is the large amount of phos phorus which it contains—an amount utterly fatal, we fear, to the value of Mr. Bessemer's method. His treat ment, we suspect, does not sensibly diminish the amount of this element; but this, too, is a point on which we must be dependent on Mr. Bessemer. We have had no opportu nity of examining the slag produced in the treatment, but we learn from an eminent chemical authority that at least one sample of it contains no sensible amount of phosphoric acid. We have previously explained that it is by the puddling process that the phosphorus and sulphur are mainly removed, the chemical examination of the tap-cinder of the puddling furnace disclosing an abun dance of phosphoric acid. As yet, so far as we can learn, Mr. Bessemer has done nothing towards the removal of this pernicious element phosphorus, and in this i m p or tant respect his process must be regarded as a failure. From the number of patents Mr. Bessemer bas commenced (one so late as the 18th ult.) he appears virtually to con fess the transition state of hie improvements. In taking leave of this subject we think we may safely predicate that the iron manufacture will remain unaffected in any essential respect by anything which Mr. Bessemer has done. No one will more sincerely rejoice at any real improvement in the iron manufacture than we shall, al though we admit a preference for such improvements as are not heralded by announcements of "revolution," but are modestly propounded, and left to demonstrate their importance by that quiet and cautions introduction into practioe which generally characterises meritorious inven rteioanwsa.keWned We , fear, however, that M r. Besse mer has lost his opportunity ; the interest he h as wasted cannot be readily and less readily by him than b y a nother. Like the shepherd in the fable, who cried "Wolf, wolf !" when there was no wolf, and whose cries for help were unheeded when the marauder indeed came, Mr. Bessemer will find that any rerl improvement ho may hereafter make will suffer a n:eglect for which his own hastiness and want of 9 411tic ' r - , will be alone to blame. By the death of Lieutenant William Rivers, R.N., a vacancy occurs among the lieutenants of the Itoyal Hospital at Greenwich. The gallant officer died on Fri day morning at his residence in that Asylum, to which he was appointed in April, 1826. Lieutenant Rivers had seen considerable service prior to the peace in 1815. lie entered the navy as first-class volunteer on board the Victory in 1795, and was in consequence present, under the flitgof Rear-Admiral Robert Minn; vAid ceived two splinter wounds in the right arm in Hotham's second partial action, July 13, 1795 ; and under Sir J. Jervis in the battle off Cape St. Vincent, Feb. 14, 1797. In April, 1803, he again joined the Victory, then the flagship of Lord Nelson, under whom, after pursuing the combined squadrons of France and Spain to the West Indies and back, he shared as one of Nelson's aides de camp the glories of Trafalgar. On that occasion he re ceived a revere contusion by a splinter, whick knocked out three of his teeth, and had the misfortune to have his left leg carried away by a shot. He was in consideration of his valour and sufferings made Lieutenant of the Princess of Orange, 74, Captain T. Rogers, received a gratuity from the Patriotic Fund, and was allotted a pension. Subsequently he removed to the Cossack, 24, Captain George Digby, part of the force employed in Admiral Gambier's expedition to Copenhagen, and on leaving that ship he was appointed First Lieutenant to the Cretan. While in the Cossack he was frequently employed in intercepting such vessels as might be passing with troops through the Little Belt. He was four months engaged in her as First Lieutenant in watch ing the enemy's movements at Brest, and he co-operated with the British army on the coast of Spain, whence the Cossack brought home the late Field-Marshal the Mar quis of Anglesey and the despatches announcing the re treat and death of General Sir John Moore at Corunna. Lieut. Rivers afterwards was Flag Lieutenant to Admi ral Sir Thomas Williams in the Namur, and removed afterwards to the Bulwark, in which he remained until paid off in 1818. In 1824 he was appointed Warden of Woolwich dockyard, where he continued until his ap pointment at Greenwich Hospital. He was father of Commander W. T. Rivers (1849), who distinguished him self during the naval operations in the war in China. His Prussian Majesty's sailing frigate Thetis, 40 (once British), Capt. Sundewald, arrived at Spithead on Satur day with a number of young officers far instruction. She saluted the naval and military authorities, and the ceremony was returned by the flag-ship and the garrison battery. The Frauenlob war schooner, Capt. Kinder ling, arrived in company with the Thetis from Rio, and will probably remain at Spithead for some time, as they cannot proceed up the Baltic at present owing to the ice. The Thetis, it is understood, will come into harbour for repairs forthwith. 'The freight ship Centurion, laden with ordnance and other Government stores, for Sierra Leone, went down to Woolwich on Saturday from the London Docks, to fill in her magazines with powder and ammunition, and will be ready for departure to-day. Two gun-boats of the heavy squadron, the Parthian and Wolf, having► been masted, were on Saturday hauled out of Woolwich basin and moored in ordinary. The mortar floats, Nos. 118, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 131, 132, and 134, were on Saturday removed from Woolwich basin, and towed down the river to Chatham by the steam tenders Monkey and Widgeon, to be placed in reserve. The steam troopship Dee having embarked boilers and steam machinery for the screw steamship Diadem, in construction at Pembroke, is to sail to-day, and will convoy the gunboats Fenella, Garnet, Hunter, and Handy to Portsmouth. The cluster of buildings, 24 in number, a contract for the erection of which was entered into two months ago by Mr. Smith, builder, of Pimlico, is now completed, upon the marshes immediately below the Royal Arsenal, at Woolwich. They are intended to constitute the new rocket factory, and, by way of precaution, are isolated from each other. The following appointments were made on Saturday at the Admiralty :—Commander Wm. Hoseason to the rank of Captain on the Reserved List; Lieut. A. F. Hart, to the Pembroke • Lieut. C. G. M`Gregor, to the Mean der • Lieut. A. Kingston, to the Indus ; Lieut. J. C. Clark, to the Coast Guard • Lieut. T. H. M. Martin, to the Cornwallis; Dr. A. Anderson, surgeon, to the Pem. broke; C. E. H. Farrant, Second Master, to the Pluto ; R. Mumford, second master, to the James Watt ; Sam. Cleft (b), assistant-surgeon, to the Pembroke ; R. J. Squire, ditto, to the Pluto ; and F. A. Wetherall, mid shipman, to the Indus. THE ENGLISH ALLIANCE. (From, the Journal des Debuts.) The English alliance has been adopted in France during the last thirty years by three governments of different character and origin the Restoration, the monarchy of July, and the Empire. An alliance that has been adopted by three governments of opposite views and principles is evidently a necessary alliance. It may not always respond to the taste or to the preferences of the country ; it may at certain periods be difficult and disagreeable ; this has occurred and will occur again. But the interests and social condition of the country renders the rlliance a necessary and fundamental fact which dominates all pre judices and all fits of bad humour. Were not this the case, why should these three governments have adopted it? Its necessity explains its duration. We are indebted to the Restoration for the English alliance. The service thus rendered to the country has nut always been well underhtood, and perhaps the fault lies with those who have explained it. Louis XVIII, said one day that, after Providence, it was to the Prince Regent that he owed his crown. This may have been true, but it was unfortunate. A king should never owe personal gratitude ; his interests should be co-mingled with those of his subjects ; and France could not then forget the obstinate and sanguinary struggle she had sustained against England, and in which she had been defeated. The resemblance in political insti tutions may have rendered the English alliance agreeable to the constitutional party; the recollections of the emi gration may have recommended it to the elder branch, and this explains the saying of Louis XVIII. This alli ance, nevertheless, was not popular in France duri n g the Restoration, for we were too fresh from the long wars of the Empire. Butlet us render homage to the Restoration ; it favoured the English alliance, but was not disposed to sacrifice to it the interests and honour of the country. It displayed this fooling in the Spanish war. The aversion with which England regarded the French intervention in Spain is known. It is an old maxim in English policy that the interests of the latter demand that the influence of France be combated in Spain. This is a souvenir of the war of succession in that peninsula. In order to oppose the pro. jetted intervention England employed her greatest efforts; but the energy of Wellington and t.l.e eloquence of Can• niug did not disconcert the Restoration, atldthe intervention in Spain was accomplished with success. Yes—say the English journals—the intervention in Spain was effected against the remonstrances of England,and also the; Restora tion fell. This is true, but it fell, we bog to add, 1 years afterwards! This circumstance must be understood. The intervention in Spain was not the only independent ae,t of the Restoration. The war in Algeria was the second. When the latter was decided on, explanations were de manded by England of the French Government. The reply was—The expedition is undertaken in order to avenge the honour of the French flag, and then to act accordlog to cir cumstances. Is it for this that the Restoration fell'? No. Tho ordonnances of July slightly influence that eveilt, and assuredly it was not the English Government that in spired those ordonnauces. What is the lesson to be drawn from the manner in which the Restoration carried out the English alliance? That this alliance must be accepted with loyalty, but not with meekness with; faith, but not with superstition. In household matters a petty quarrel often breaks out, and must be borne with patience. This rule applies to the English alliance, principally on account of the English journals, and sometimes in conse quence of the English tribuno. But, sooner or later, this patience is rewarded by the re-establishment of good intelligence. It was under the monarchy of July that we actively advocated the English alliance, and this was strict j ustice. That revolution is the sole French re volution which had the honour of proving contagious in England, and of producing a political result. England did not confine herself to a display of her sympathies, but she associated herself with good grace in the policy of the new gOvernment ; she renounced her opposition to the conquest of Algiers ; she supported with us the revolution of Bel gium ; finally, thanks to the alliance of France and Eng land, the old anti-French league of the Holy Alliance was destroyed or became impotent. Two events disturbed and damped the English alliance under the monarchy of July, without however breaking it up; the first was the treaty of July 15, 1840; the second the Spanish marriages. On both these occasions France opposed England. Was she in the right or in the wrong ? We will not discuss this question. It is sufficient to remark that ou both these questions the French Government thought proper to vindicate the independence of our policy. This cost it dear, say the English journals; but this is another subject of grave dis cussion which we will not enter into. The question, moreover, is not to know whether the July governn a it did or did not owe its fall to its resistance to England—the importat t point is to know whether the government acted wisely in its resistance. That it fell for having defended the honour and interests of the country against England may be a misfortune, but it is not a fault, The citizens of the metropolis have taken the lead in an agitation which we trust will spread throughout every corner of the kingdom, having for its object to compel the government to be honest—that is, to ke-p faith with the people in respect to the reduction and final extinction of the property and income tax. A meeting, under the auspices of an asse.iation recently formed for that purpose, was held in London last week, under the presidency of one of the metropolitan Parliamentary representatives, Sir James Duke. The meetinT, which was very large, included men of the highest influence in the great commercial world of Loudon ; and the lan;:uage held by the speakers indicated a tho rough sense of the importance of the object in view, and of the necessity of powerful and united effort throughout the country to achieve it. In truth, the agitation comes not a bit too soon. The obnoxious tax in question, originally imposed by the g overnmen t o f t h t day for a temporary object, has nevertheless, had an ex istence of 14 years ; and now, grown to formidable pre portions, it threatens to become a chronic disease in the vitals of the community. The 7d. in the pound, originally proposed with hesitation by Sir R. Peel, has swelled to 161. ; and the only hope that the official promises of its speedy reduction and ultimate abolition will be kept towards the public lies in a determined and unanimon., manifestatio n of the popular will on the subject.—Berk shire Warder. We are gratified to learn that a requisition to th e mayor is now in course of signature, asking him to call a general meeting of the inhabitantsof Wolverhampton to petition against the income tax. We understand that upwards of 200 signatures, including some of the must influential firms and manufacturers in the town and neighbourhood, have been already appended to the docu ment.— Wolverhampton News. Toe Mayor of Reading having had a requisition pre sented to him signed-by nearly 200 of the most respect able inhabitants, praying him to call a public meeting to consider the desirability of petitioning Parliament for the reduction or abolition of the property and income tax, has complied with the request, and issued bills con vening the same for Tuesday next, at noon.—Berkshire Chronicle. We understand a great many surcharges have been served upon the inhabitants of this town, which have caused much dissatisfaction ; and we advise all wh o intend to appeal to give notice without delay, as many persons who intended to appeal last year were prevented from so doing by not giving the necessary notice in time. We ghope a public meeting will be called to petition against the continuance of this most oppressive tax. — Cambridge Chronicle. A correspondent suggests that Dundee should send up half a dozen petitions to the House of Commons. He thinks that the Chamber of Commerce, the various in. corporated trades, and the members of the several pro• fessions would all do well to place petitions in the hands of Mr. Duncan before the meeting of Parliament. — Montrose Sta n dard. MR. COBDEN AND THE INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMS REFORM . ASSOCIATION. The late congress is beginning to bear its expected fruit in this country. An organisation is being rapidly matured for sustaining M. Corr Vandermaeren and his free-trade associates iu their struggle with the Belgian restrictionists, who, from their energy, activity, and comparative intelligence, are properly considered as . . _ the flower of the whole continental protectionist army. Mr. T. Wiukworth, whose paper on the silk trade at. tracted so much interest at the Brussels Congress, has lately been on a visit to Mr. Cobden at Glyn Gartb, Bangor, and it was arranged that an account, Cobden and Winkworth, should be opened as the Commercial Bank, London, for subscriptions. Of these a consider able number,- it will be seen, have already been re ceived, though only a few circulars have yet been issued from the London offices, New Palace-yard. The fact of comparatively so many contributions being for warded from Newcsstle-on-Tyne is chiefly due to Mr. Christian Allhusen, who, with three other gentlemen, has been appointed a special committee of the Chamber of Commerce of that town for the promotion of the present object. This body (represented very ably at the Brussels Congress by Mr. Allhusen, who furnished one of the most valuable papers read during the sittings) is exerting itself greatly in aid of the Belgian movement. If other similar associations would do the same, as some indeed are doing, the pecuniary result would speedily be very large ; and, what is of more importance, the British commercial public would soon begin to understand how much their interest is involved in this matter. Mr. Cobden, who is one of the six members appointed to represent the same number of countries, has taken up the question with his customary earnest ness, and his example and influence cannot fail to be effecti►'e. That he means the agitation now commenced to be something more than evanescent is indicated by his becoming an annual subscriber of 10s. (the sum spe cified at the Congress), as well as a donor of five guineas. Those to whose names in the annexed list the a is affixed are also annual subscribers.

After being on the road a few min nutes I turned about and asked him where he W2B going. He replied he was going down a few miles to live with Master —, who kept the stage-house at the west stand ; that he had lived with him the last summer, and that his master had sent him down to live with him the coming season. Turn ing from the b o y, th e d r i ver remar ked to me in an under tone, " The boy is deceived ; I am taking him down to the slave-pen a few miles on, where slaves are kept preparatory to being sent to Loui siani ; this deception is practised to get him from his home and mother without creating a disturb ance on the place." Shortly after we drew near to the place where the boy supposed he was to stop ; he began to gather up, preparatory to leav ing the stage, the few articles he bad brought away from his home. The driver said to him in a de cided tone of voice, " You are not to get off the stage here." The boy, in astonishment, replied, " Yes, lis ; I'se got a letter for Master —. I'se going to live there this summer." By this time we had reached the house, and Master —, making his appearance, John (for that was the name of the boy) delivered his letter and appealed to Master to be delivered from the command of the driver. The master made no reply, as this kind of decep tion was no new thing to him. After reading the letter, and folding it up, he was about putting it in his pocket, when it flashed on the mind of the boy that he was sold, and was bound for the slave pen. He exclaimed in agony, " Tell me, master, if I'se sold ?" No reply was made. He exclaimed again, " Tell me if I'se sold ?" This last appeal brought the response, " Yes, John, you are sold." The boy threw himself back on the top of the stage, and, rolling in agony, sent up such a wail of woe as no one i n th stage could endure; even theho tel keeper walked away in shame and the driver hur ried into his box and drove off to drown the noise of his cry. "'L i assengers were all deeply moved by the distress of the boy, and tried in various ways to soothe his wounded and crushed spirit, but his agony was beyond the reach of their sympathy. When his agony was somewhat abated he exclaimed, • " Oh, if they had only let me bid my mother good bye. They have lied to me ! They have lied to me ! If they had a' told me I was sold and I could a' bid: my mother good-bye, I'd a'gone without making them trouble—hard as it is." By this time we had passed on some two or three miles since leaving the last stand, when, drawing near to a pretty thick wood, the boy became tranquil. Waiting till we had entered the wood a few rods, he darted from the top of the stage and rau into the woods as agile as a deer, no doubt with the feeling that it was for his life. The driver instantly dropped his reins and pursued the boy. Proving himself no match, returned, exclaiming, "You see I have done what I could to catch him." He mounted his box and drove on a mile or so, when he reined up his horses to a house, and calling to the keeper, asked, " Where are your sons ?" He replied, they left home this morning with the dogs to hunt a negro, and would not be home before night. The driver said to him that Mr— had sent his boy John on the stage that morning to be delivered at the pen, and that he had jumped from the top of the stage and taken to the woods. His reply was, "We will' hunt him for you to-morrow." The driver said he wished only to notify him of his being in the woods. As we drove on I made the inquiry, " Hsw long have you driven a stage on this road?" He replied, " About 15 years." "Do you fre quently take negroes down to the slave-pen ?" " Yes, frequently.' " "What will become of this boy John ?" He replied, "He will skulk about the woods until he is nearly starved, and will some night make his way up to his master's house, and in about two weeks I shall bring him down again to the slave-pen in hand-cuffs." After a pause, even his driver feeling his degradation in being the instrument of such misery, broke out in the ex clamation, " This is a cursed business ; but in this case this is not the worst feature in it. The man who sold him is his own father !"—New York Paper. TESTIMONIAL TO MR. R. W. KENNARD. On Wednesday evening, at the London Tavern, a sumptuous banquet was given to this gentleman, under circumstatces that deserve to be widely known in the iron trade, of which he is so influential a member. For a series of years Mr. Kennard's name has been familiar to the readers of this journal as President of the Hard• ware and Metal Trades' Pension Society, to whose funds he has been a most munificent contributor, as well as taking an active part in the ministration of its affairs. In commercial circles he is known as Chairman of the Tour ney and Jurbise, Deputy Chairman of the Northern and Eastern, and Director of the Pernambuco Railways; also as Chairman of the Blaenavon Iron Company, head of the extensive Falkirk Iron Works, and prominent in many similar undertakings of great magnitude in this country and abroad, his enterprises in France having led to his being appointed Chevalier of the Legion of Honour. The object of Wednesday's gathering was to convey the sense entertained of his character as an employer of those in his immediate service. For this pur pose there had been purchased from Messrs. Barnard and Sons, Angel-street, a magnificent 20-light silver candela • bruin, 41 feet in height, weighing 1,200 ounces, origi nally made for the Great Exhibition, at a cost of about 2,000 guineas, and probably one of the most superb pro. ductions of the kind ever seen, from its combination of elegance of design, massiveness of material, and elaboration of detail. In presenting it, Mr. Joseph Crowther, foreman of the London branch of the house, in Upper Thames-street, and upwards of a quar ter of a century in Mr. Kennard's employ, said it was the result of the spontaneous contributions of every class of labour in the establishment, from the shoeless black-faced boys at the Scotch works, earning five or six shillings a week, and who had to be restrained in their offerings, to the various heads of departments, in the receipt of large salaries, forming, in the aggregate, with their families, several thousand persons dependent on the firm. Mr. Crowther, in a speech characterised by equal good taste and feeling, signifioantly dwelt upon the length of time Mr. Ken. nerd retained around him those who once entered the service, saying that that one fact alone would interest demon strate why it was all in his employ madeh his im as their their interest, and looked to and reverenced between capital benefactor, themad adviser, and reception the ordinary y of all Mr. Crowther's allusions illustrative of these pointfriend, and relantoitens h as merely capital and labour. The s h i s sen timents were appreciated. showed how entirely Mr. Kennard made a g raceful and suitable acknow • ledgment, in very effective terms, saying that th ere was no p ecun iary legacy, no possible honour, he should be so to i bequeath thhlssons fehree of whom w ere present] symbolised in the beautiful ob ject b efore him, i:hoather having been covsidered to ha ve d one h i s alto the of their duty to the best of his ability by those who had the means of testing the sincerity of his intentions by constant asso ciation with him in the every-day occupations of life. He then proposed the health of all employed by the first of Kennard and Co., Mr. Nottage responding amidst great applause. Mr. Rose (Alderman of Thames -street Ward) Mr. J. M. Morris, solicitor, and other visitors, having spoken to various toasts, the business of the evening termi nated, it being remarked by some of the guests who had had much experience in matters of this sort that they never remembered the presentation and reception of a testi monial to have been distinguished by more genuine cog diality and beconaingness, or more free from those traits of fulsomeness on the one hand, and affected modesty on the other, which such occurrencesabound so frequently in.—Birmingham Journal. 54 following t w ot i a n i g visitor s , 1,897.
