This Company 's formed for the purchase and working of the Carl.igeas Tin Mines, situated in the Paris, of St. sterhens, St. A ustel, in the County of Cornwall, a district well known am. ng mineralogists as bring r ch in Tin Mi. eral deposits. The sett is very extensive ' and held under leas e from Lady Grenville, for a t erm of twenty-one years, at a ro, alty of one-fifteenth. The promising character of the Mines to be worked by the present Company fully ‘rairants the expe •tation that large returns will be realised ; five Tin odes are known to pass through the sett, and on one of which operations have been carried on to some considerable extent by the former workers. The Mine is situated on the junction of Granite and Knit's, so favourable for the production of metallic minerAls, parti cularly The ancient excavations on the backs of the lodes give evi. d. n.ce that vast quantities of Tin been raised on the propsrty, and recent exploratt sus demonstrate this sett to be of no ordinary kind, it being merely a question of capital for a fuller development to tning it into a dividend state. The reports annexed are from m.-.n of long practical ex per ence in the nistrict • their testimony as to tie highly promising eharac er o f the property, and the great local ad vantages by which it is surrounded, wi 1 be r 'ad with inte rest and leaving no . hirtg to be urged by,the Dirssators, ex ce,,t an assurance of their strong o nfidence as to its value, and that ere long it will bear comparison with aiiy of the rich Mines opened in the district. A contract has been entered into for the purchase of the property on most favoura le terms -viz., for £6,000 (.£2,500 in cash, and £3,500 in paid-un Shares). The cap t,l of the Company is fixed at .V 5,000, in 3;00 Shares of £5 each ; it 1., however, estimated hat .£ per share will be ample fI. all purp sea, to place the Mut , in a profit able state, as imme , late returns of Tin can be m de. The Company having teen registered with limited liability, no Shareholder can, under any circumstan , es whatever, be made responsible for a greater amount than that of the shares to which he sub tribes. A considerable portion of the capital has already been sub scribed. The Directors propose to commence operations vvhi n they consider a sufficient number of shares have been subscribed fer. Applications for Shares to be made in the subjoined form. The deposit money of 'Os. per share to be paid to the Company's Bankers, for which receipts will be g yen. If no allotment be made, the deposit money Iv 11 be returned in full, and f a less number be al otted than is applied for the serplus will be used towards the payment on all tment.

PtcOSPEC More than thirty years have elapsed since any leading Bank has been established in Scoilai d; and when the following circumstamrs are considered, viz., the extraordinary develop • ment during this interval of the resourc. s of the country; th" extension of steam and railway communication ; the improved cultivation and value of the land ; the almost wonderful growth of some of the chief cities and towns, in population, wea'th, and enterprise ; and the tact that millions pass an nually between Scotland and the commercial Metropolis of the World; coupled with the universally admitted deficiency of direct banking accommodation between both countries ; it will be seen that the present is a peculiarly favourable op portunity for successfully introdu ing the London Bank of Scotland (L , mited), and securing it an extensive and profit able bu-iness. All financial operations between Scotland and London are transacted through Agencies at considerable expense, time, and trouble, by far the largest proportion both of the Inland Bills in c rculation in the country, and alto the Foreign Bills drawn upon Great Britain being made payable in London, the grand focus to whi . h the pecuniary ransactions of the Empire are ultimately brought to be adjusted. This Company will be enabled to offr very considerable advantages to the public, in the uniform and more economical charge for the collection, transmission, and liquidation of bids, money, exchanges, and other business transactions betty. en Scotland and London. The remarkable success attendant upon banking institutions connected with this country. whether for Ireland the Continent, o , the Colonies, proves that an establishment in London facilitates business, whilst lar,le profits are secured. N, ne of the existing Scotch Bar ks possess this advantage; and the Londcn Bank of Snottind is established to meet so great a monetary desi deratum. As corroborative of the necessity which exists for extended banking facilities, it may b e a l so stated, that during the above. mentioned period the external trade of the country has more than trebled itself. The returns published by the Board of Trade thow that the exports in the year 183! amounted to £32,000,000, while in 186 0 they reach. d £1'5,842,8.7; and th .t the aggregate value of the impo. to in the par 1854 (when first ascertained) was £152,389,0 3, which in 1859 amounted to £179, 1 82 35% the home trade during the corresponding period developed itself to xtent which it'is almost impossible to comp ate Regarding t , e cosider tient.. and the still rapidly expanding commercials elations between Edinburgh, Glas gow, Aberdeen, Dundee, Perth, Inverness, Paisley, stirling, and other important pla'es in Scotland, with London, it has been decided in constituting this Bank to take powers to o , en Branches, as cir nimstances may warrant, in the above cities end to [howns. c ommen?lng first in Edinburgh and Gl asgow, with ad Office in London. The qdministrat on of the London Bank of Scotland and its Branches will he superintended by men of sound practi cal. commercial, and financial knowledge, whose position and antecedents will be a sure guarantee of the careful and wise management adopted throughout all the details of this Bank.

The object'af this Company is to c,entralie the large busi ness corded on in negotiating debentures and bonds, making advances on railway and other securities, on mortgage or title-nee Is, and on works 3n progress, and to afford readily accesoble channels to parties having the charge of parlia mentary bills, to contractors of undoubted position concerned in railways or other extensive public works, and to owners of valuable property of varied character. It will tacilitate, in connexion with such securities, the business of Bankers. Capitalists, bolicitors, Agents, and Brokers, by relieving them of detail, and in th cases of Pro vincial Rankers, Brokers, and others of the risk incurred by the transmissi to as at present of bulky and valuable docu ments ; the formation of this company having in fact been suggested by extensive and influential Provincial B nkers. It w.ll undertake Money Agenci s, will receive deposit loans to periods and at rates specially agreed upon, will assist to mature important financial schemes, and also tran sact all such business on commission. On the C ntinsnt similar Into itu ions have been established with great suxess, and have become the recognised medium for the agency of such transactions, while in Great Britain no such universally recognised a envy exists, and it is to sup ply this want on a scale commensunte with the financial operations of the country that the London Financial AssoJa tion has been organised. N- promotion money will be paid, and the preliminary ex penses will be strictly confin d to such as are iedispensable. No remuneration will be received by the directors until after payment of a minimum dividena of 5 per cent, to the shareholders; and a sum equal to one-filth only of the sur plus snail be set aside as remuneration to the Board. Applications for shares may be addressed, in m annexed, either to the Directors at the Temporary Off of the Association, or through the Brokers. Every such application must be accompanied bye payment to the Bankers of the Co m p an y o f L I per share on the num ber applied for. A voucher will be given by them for the amoui.t, which will be returned free of charge to the appli cant should no allotment be made to him. Upon allotment a further sum of £4 per share will be pay able. A further sum of £5 after an interval of two months.

NO. 22,102. .-,,-; ...4d. STAMPED EIVSP ISt can be no doubt but that George-street 010 !film. Tne \ diate vicinity would be benefited. The question ireTnowever, whether, in obedience to the Jews of supply and demand, the particular establi si msnts a boil. heel in on , ter, et ne-iy Lot spring en in treeehi r. and that, too, under ts e ore ration of a conce ntiet.ve force tending to ex,gg,rar e pri , viou•ly txirtirg evils. Ail the res Its of simiiar pi,ochiel tazzies which we can call to mind testify to the utter inefficiency, in a comprehensive sense, of this wey of dealing with houses known to the law as " disor derly establishments."

The becetne all the mote desirable as a place of reeirl, nee if " dis orderly" houses in the sense of the law he therein abolished, and conceeitrated, let us teseurne, in St. George's, Bloomsbury ; but whether the moral con dition of London gt nerally would he benefited by any such change of . venue is the qecrtion, or rather iit is hardly a Question, inasmuch as the negative L response is so demonstrable. We are of opinion that the time has almost, if not quite, arrived for speak . ing out r-ore plainly than has been the custom in respect of what convention insists on calling the "social evil"—viewing it comprehensively, as states men should view an evil, and adopting general mea sures for its control and m i i gi t i i ce g nh a ei t rm i n o ll n )lay . s uas N eu i od p ne r d i a n tce(iliviiline social vic e s an d n be well th a t individuals should not scrutini se smitojohfleeecyi civi lised abstract bi slexecutivepro')c'lt wrongs.tY that, a l t n h t ebl he ore e l 3mn s me recognitionwa circles of privat e lif e i t of toon y social acrirrcolwesl haevacehat other's dsposi t v i i o c n es a ; and m summaryo r m e o e v a e n r s , of redress. Ejectment is the normal consequence of violating the precepts of social morality to any abnormal extent. Society, in its largest sense of a whole nation, has no such expedient at command; hence it becomes a bounden duty of every civilised executive to recognise social maladies of whatever Kind, just as a surgeon recognises —with treatment and cure in view—a malignant ulcer or cancerous sore. In viewing under many of its aspects the subject of debate, we are by no means unconscious of numerous and grave difficulties that will bristle up in the path of any social legislator bold enough to grapple with the enormous evils to which we refer. The continental system of police is so oiffe rent in its funetions from our system ; an English man's house is so practically his castle ; and the license of free comieunication and free discussion is so great, that any literal assumption of foreign precedent and experience in the matter under band would be purely impossible. D ffieutti(s in the way of accomplishing a result should, however, furnish no plea for not aiming at it. Mucn might be effected without a further exercise of supervision and scru tiny tnan is compatible with the degree of personal liberty to which Englishmen have tecome accus tomed. Even were it certain that nothing in the way of amelioration collid be immediately brought about by any measure of State interference, still, practical affirmation of the principle that no existing social vice or social malady should be studiously ' igeored and kept out of sight to the inteet of making society appear better than it is, would be a measure consonant with the soundest principles of social government. To foster hypocrisy can never be desirable, no matter what the subject or the oc casion. Now, it is gross hypocrisy —no better—to affect that in respect of that particular class of sins to which our observations point, the English public is sO much purer than the continental public, as the advocates tor non-intervention in this matter would wish inferentially to make one believe. Such affec tation of purity deceives nobody. The utmost to be expected of it is the fostering of a sentiment so near akin to selfishness that it approaches the character of sin; the sentiment of complacency, namely, and false tranquillity, that weak natures sometimes realise to themselves; by keeping displeasing ob jects out of sight, though the reality of them is no more questionable than the sun's presence at noon day.

Letters received from her Majesty's screw troop ship Vulcan, Commander Strode, dated at Singa pore, Feb. 14, state that she left Calcutta on the 16th of January and was detained in the Malacca Straits in consequence of having been engaged in rescuing the crew of a vessel with 600 native passengers on board. Commander Strode declined to put in any claim, or accept any salvage for rescuing the pas sengers and their personal property. The passengers were on their way in the ship to Jeddah, and would have proceeded thence on a pilgrimage to Mecca. Respecting this refusal of Commander Strode's to accept any recompense from the people rescued, the Straits Times of Feb. 14 has the following para graph :—" We have been requested by Seyd S.ffie, the charterer of the wrecked ship India, to express through our columns his best thanks to Captain C. Strode and all the officers and men of her Majesty's ship Vulcan for the extreme kindness with which himself, captain, and crew, as well as all the pil grims, were treated from the time they were first taken from the wreck until landed at Singapore The great liberality of the captain and crew of the Vulcan in refusing all recompense or salvage for their arduous services in saving the lives of these people deserve the warmest praise, particularly as there was a sufficient quantity of treasure saved to have afforded a handsome sum to every officer and man in the ship." A postscript in the same letter, dated on the fol lowing day, states that the ship was then unmoor ing - to proceed to Hongkong with naval supernu meraries and stores. A letter received at Plymouth from the screw steam gun-vessel Penguiu,s, Lieut. J. G. M'Hardy, states that she left Port Royal on February 3 for a cruise. On the 27th of March, when off St. Lucia wharf Lighthouse, she fell in with the screw steam frigate Ariadne. 26. Edward W. Vansittart, which brought the ship's company a mail bag, and supplied the ship with provisions and coal. Both ships then put on full steam after a slave vessel. During the former cruise the Penguin had two North American paddlewheel steamships of war in chase, and, es Lieut. M'Hardy did not like to heave to, one of the ships fired a shot across the Penguin's bows ; she then sent a boat to the stranger, the officers of which stated that they thought the gunvessel was the Con federate war steamer Alabama. The whole of the dockyard hands were yesterday removed from the Royal Oak, 35, 800 horse power, Capt. F. A.

Yesterday the mechanics commenced bolting the last tier of armour-plates on the port and starboard midship sides of the Achilles, at Chatham dock yard ; the seven tiers of armour plating which en case her sides are now carried from about 5 feet below her load water-line to her bulwarks. Dur ing the last few days about 500 hands have been released from the Royal Oak, on which they have been working for several months past, and the greater part of these have been placed on the Achilles, swelling the number of a orkmen, of all trades, employed on that vessel to upwards of 1,300. The hands engaged on the iron frigate now enter the yard at six o'clock, and continue working with only a few minutes' intervals for meals, until dark not leavin g t h e establishment till just eight o'clock . Under the extraordinary exertions which are thus being made to complete this vessel astonishing progress is being made upon every portion of the ship, and there appears to be no reasons for doubting that she will be ready to be floated out of dock by the close of the present year. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty—Lieut. Chas. Hill and Lieut. D. D. Yonge to the Caracaa ; Thomas Pounds, master, to the Orestes; W. H.

The customary review and manoeuvres of the battalion did not take place, and the day was devoted by the Inspector-General to an examination of the kits, arms, accoutrements, dze., of the non-commissioned officers and men of the several depots. The inspection, which will extend over several days, will be resumed this morning. The 96th Regiment, which left Portsmouth on Feb. 15, on board the Himalaya, arrived at Simon's Bay, Cape of Good Hope, on March 12, after a splendid passage of 25 days. There were five births on board and one death. A detachment of Royal Marine Light Infantry, consistin Lieut. g of C a p t .

(From Correspondent of the 2i2nes.) NEW YORK, April 17. The spring campaign, which has opened so un favourably for the; ederal cause at Charleston, does not proir ise much success in any other portion of the vast circumferencnover which its operations are ex but :o keep " pegging tended. M r . Li ncoln, more suo, sees nothing for it away" at the enemy, but, under such f ee bl e management as his, " pegging " degenerates into " peeking." Admiral Dupont has gained no laurels by pegging" at Charleston. Admiral Farragut and Gen. Grant have " pegged away" in vain at the front and lalck doors of Vicks burg. Gen. Banks, instead of " pegging" at Port Hudson, has as much on his hands as he can well manage to defend New Orleans. Gen. Rosecrans is checkmated in Tennessee by Gen. Braxton Bragg, end w.ll have to "peg sway" not only with rare vigour, but rarer good fortune, to save Nashville. General Foster is cooped up in Washington, North Carolina, surrounded by a vastly superior force under General H. D. Hill; w hil e General Hooker, who boasts that t he army of the Potomac is " the finest army on the planet," is confronted by the same defiant and triumphant foe who at Fredericksburg scattered the ranks and almost broke the spirit of Gen. Burnside, and can not advance by that route to Richmond if he would, and would not if he could. Everywhere the Confe derates are in the highest health and confidence; and again the capital is in such danger as to threaten the North with a graver humiliation than the ill-fortune of war has yet inflicted. Even Baltimore is not conainered safe, and new raids of the Confederates into Maryland and Pennsylvania are openly predicted, as soon as the spongy roads shall have hardened sufficiently under the rays of the spring and early summer sun to permit the passage of horse and artillery. The Northern people begin to be puzzled to ac count for this uniform failure of all the greatest schemes of their Government. They know, and have long deplored, that there are little brains at Washington. They admit that attorneys do not always make go: c 1 Generals; that Gen. Halleck and Mr. Stanton are the two greatest failures of the North—far greater than Mr. Lincoln himself—and that a miserable peculation and corruption every. where prevail ; but they have never doubted, amid all their discouragements, that they have a large army, only requiring to be well led to be moderately successful. But even this foundation of hope for the future has failed them in their present need. They were assured three months ago that they had armies in the field amounting to 1 ,010,000 men. They were told only last week that their legions were at least 700,000 strong, and they know that pay is due and rations art, drawn for that number. With the spirit of a people who can calculate, if they can do any thing, they have taken to adding up numbers, and are asking one another " Where are our legions?" It is a simple sum in elementary arithmetic, and the results show roguery or robbery somewhere, or, if not these, the concealment of truths that ought to be known to every citizens if the Government fairly did its duty. General Hunter, charged with the land attack upon Charleston, was unable to co .ope rate with. Admiral Dupont, because he had less than 14,000 —some accounts say less than 12,000. —men, negroes included, under his command, and because the Government at Washington, though urgently appealed to for reinforcements, was unable to spare him a single battalion to aid in a victory on which, above all others, it had set its heart. Gen. Banks is in an equally deplorable condition. He has not above 18,000 men to depend upon for the safety of Louisiana, and appeal s in vain for help to General Halleck and Mr. Stanton. They have no men to spare, and he must do the best he can with the de moralised and insufficient force at his disposal. Gen. Foster in North Carolina—whose surrender, accord ing to the latest accounts, is a question of a few hours—has been sacrificed either by the neglect or inability of the War Department to send him the men he needed. Generalßosecrans requires double his actual force to maintain himself successfully in Tennessee, but cannot persuade the Government to . send him so much as a b r i ga d e , becau se i t h as no bri gltionne, of or the for Rap_ thegade to spare. Wh ere then are the arm i es of the Re public ? Are th e great m ajority of the 700 ,000 re tained for the d e f ence o f Washington, the m useless invasion o f Vi rg i n i a b p hosta ha r oTchkePr There or r e e e t e h m e s p e e 7 t o e d on o,ooo g a e merelyed authority e no more than 60,000 men in and about Washing ton, charged with the defence of the capital and the person of the President, and from 80,000 to 100,000 under H oo k er , s eeking in vain for an opportunity to march through the tenacious mud of the Old Dominion, toward that much coveted city of Richmond, which neither he nor his army will ever reach by the road which Burnside failed to travel, and which M'Clellan was disinclined to at tempt. If these figures be correct the Federal army must either amount to a force far inferior to its roll upon the books of the War-office, the Treasury, and the Commissariat, or it must be scattered in small dribblets over the Border States, or be retained for garrison duty in the Northern and Western cities to overawe and keep down the discontented " Copper heads." Which of the two solutions is correct? The most probable is that the Gov ernment has no such army as it pretends to have, an d t h at the rank and file do not exceed 300,000 or at most 400,000 men ; that desertions have been more frequent, mote sys tematic, and more numerous than is publicly known ; and that sickness prevails to a far greater extent m ay be an te d , does not the Govern thanme the Government has cared t o di vulge. B e ti t, t it circumstance s such as these, take why, under im mediate measures to fill up the ranks P Why, when the term of the nine months' volunteers is within a few days of expiry, does it not offer them a renewal of bounty for a renewal of service P And why, above all, does it not organise measures for calling out the first instalment of a q uarter of a million of men under the Conscription A ct P I t seems myste riouonithaty does M r. L incoln take no steps of the sth kind, at not buthe j ournals of Washington and New York, which speak at the prompting of the Administration, have announced within the last few days that there is, in the opinion of the War Department, no present necessity for a con scription ; and that all the m en really required can b b e eo t b ie ta s. inedby voluntary en li stment and high enThere is more i n these announcements than plain men, especially the European public, would readily suspect. Taken in connection with the anti British outcry which has been so suddenly e ncouraged by the inferencesGo leyralofaybe draw the public mind an. One is that ee Go vernment, in e a nt n ht d e, te s wx o s s t n r e g n t u e o m e p s con scription cannot be safely resorted to; that not only can the Government obtain no additional men for the further prosecution of hostilities against the South, but that a conscription is in itself so alien to the habits, the education, the p re j udices, and the free spirit f the e em biepeopleati and so lik e l y to b e resiste d b y organisedons of wor ki ng men, Irish and o German as well as native, and by the " Copper heads," more especially in the North- Western States as to be in a high degree dangerous and impolitic. The second is, that as the Government must largely increase its armies or be utterly beaten by the South, it is essential to get up some great popular excite ment that may serve to reanimate the flagging en thusiasm of the people. As nothing within the reach of the Administration is so likely to accom plish the end as a threatened war with Great Bri tain, that ancient and never-failing " dodge " is un scrupulously employed. Not, perhaps, that the Go vernment desires such a war, but that it desires to render war so imminent,—to come, as it were, so nearly within an i nc h, or a ha i r ' s b readth of it,—as to excite the warlike ardour and the undying hate of the Irish Roman Clholic population, and of all the yet unsacrified ro w d y i sm of the great cities, which would not lift a finger against the South, but which would readily lift both hands against Eng land. The British people may therefore be prepared for sharp words, for angry controversies, perhaps even for the rupture of diplomatic relations beta een the two countries. To this extent animosities may be carried ; but in the opinion of those who have longest studied the character of the people, and who beat know the men in power, there will be no war unless Great Britain shall herself declare it, The case of the Peterhoff was not deemed of im portance in this city until the facts were set forth in the English newspapers. She was represented here as an ordinary blockade runner, legally cap tured in an attempt to force her way into Charleston. Not a word was said of her being bound to the neu tral port of Matamoras. Now, that the real facts have come to light, there is a general impression that Mr. Seward will not risk a diplomatic or any other rupture with Great Britain on account of that vessel, but that she will be given up, together with the mails, unopened, that were found on board. The real grievance on which Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Seward rely for exciting the necessary amount of hostile feeling against England is the construction in British ports of such vessels as the Alabama and the Florida, and the probability that, unless te,ey assume a sufficiently threatening attitude, the Con federate Loan of three millions sterling will be ex pended in the same way, in the same places, and for the same purpose. The idea of issuing letters of marque to adventurers of New York and other cities for the purpose of capturing these daring cruisers seems to have been abandoned, not only on account of the danger of provoking the principal maritime nations of Europe into war against the United States, but, perhaps, because they have discovered that letters of marque are only issued against foreign enemies, and that in taking this step the Federal Government would virtually recognise the independence of the Southern Confederacy, and could not afterwards make it a grievance against other nations if they imitated the example. Mr. Horace Greeley's fall from grace in the matter of the perpetuity and efficacy of the President's pro clamation of emancipation has brought upon him the distrust and the reproaches, if not the enmity, of some of his fellow-labourers in the cause. A meeting to condemn and disavow his interpretation of the document, and especially his assertion that if the Union were restored the Southern Slave-hold ing States could legally re-enslave the negroes whom Mr. Lincoln's proclamation set free, was held the night before last at Mr. Henry Ward Beecher's churcb,under the presidency of the Rev. Dr. Uheever. The speakers were not very successful in their de molition of Mr. Greeley's logic and law, both of which have found an unexpected supporter in the Hon. R. H. Dana, Attorney-General of the State of Massachusetts, and, as the Tribune truly says, " one of the earliest, ablest, and first anti-slavery men " of that State. That gentleman, doubtless in order to help the Government out of the t Demme, into which it thrusts itself by the proclamation, and lo gain back for it some portion of the Democratic I and Conse r vative s u pp or t w hi c h it h as l os t, d ec l are d in a speech at Providence, Rhode Island, " that if any man feared or hoped that the proclamation did, as a matter of law, by its own force, alter the legal status of one slave in America on the lbt of January last, he built his fears or hopes on the sand, It was a military act, and not the decree of a legislator. It has no legal force on the status of the slave. 'What is done by the strong arm is done ; what the arm of force does not do is not done." This was Mr. Greeley's assertion in terser and more authoritative language than he employed ; but no reply was made at the meeting, which was otherwise only re markable for the singularly awkward admission of one of the speakers. A Mr. Gilbert, who is de scribed as a leading member of the Church of the Puritans, declare 1 that "the captive bird should be liberated, in order that it might fly off to its native air," or, in other words, that the slave, when emancipated, should be sent back to Africa, which is Mr. Lincoln's favourite scheme for settling the difficulty. The other admission was still more significant of the designs of the party in power— the real enemies of the freedom of the American people. It was to the effect "that the national debt incurred by the war would create a con solidated Government and sweep away the old doctrine of State rights." This gentleman went a little too fast. The debt threatens to be the instru ment of disintegration rather than of consolidation. Already the subject of repudiation is openly dis cussed. It is declared by leading lawyers of the Democratic party that the debt was illegally con tracted,and that the West and North-West are begin ning to murmer that, whoever may be found to pay it, they will not. But the speaker was too much in love with despotism to look the facts of liberty fairly in the face. He was too warmly attached to the idea of a centralised Government, powerful enough to dominate the world, to tolerate the exist ing constitution of the States. He concluded his speech by declaring, " that he would rejoice to see the day of consolidation. When that period arrived the Government would be able to maintain a million of armed men, and might then say, 'Come on, France! Come on, England! Come on, Copper heads!'" Such is American Puritanism and Aboli- tionism, and such are its ideas of Republican liberty ! A huge debt ! An immense standing army ! De fiance to the word! Denial of the right of freedis cussion to its own citizens, and deportation of the negro race ! And yet these people pretend that in combating the South they are fighting in behalf of the great cause of human liberty and progress, and feel aggrieved when the English people with hold their sympathy ! The Federal army has lost one officer and ought to lose another by a recent unhappy occurrence in the camp near Suffolk. General Michael Corcoran, once keeper of a " groggery" in this city, and who first made for himself a military reputation when a lieutenant of militia by an act of disobedience to the commands of his superior officer, for which he was tried before a Court-martial, has proved that he is as unfit to be a general as he was a lieutenant. He has cruelly murdered a subordinate officer for the performance of his duty, and, if he be not tried for the capital offence and dismissed from the army, whether he be found guilty of murder, or of the minor crime of manslaughter, a bad example will be set to the whole army, and the Federal Go vernment will deserve to lose any b attle in which such a man as he is shall lead either an army or a division. General Corcoran, who, perhaps, itnagins that he must be a very great man as well as a very great warrior, inasmuch as New York recently gave him a public reception as brilliant as it gave to th , Prince of Wales, was walking near the lines of the army when he was challenged for the password by Col. Kimball, of the Hawkins Zouaves, the officer o n duty, and who had newly arriv e d w i th his :com pany, and did not know the person of the general. He answered abruptly, " I am Genera! L‘orcoran," as if that were sufficient. C o l , Kimball replied that anybody might call himself General Corcoran, and again demanded the countersign Corcoran at tempted, in cont ravention of all military duty b and Col. propriety, to p ass on ; and when up his hand or d rew his sword to prevent Klm heimll held general discharged a revolver and shot the unfor tunate officer dead upon the spot. How can the l'emEs.—We are sorry to be obliged to recur to the subject of Greenwich Hospital. If you inform a private gentleman that a great abuse is being car ried on in a matter under his control, he generally looks into it at once, remedies it, and is thankful for the information. But it is quite a different thing with public bodies. They are aptly so called,for they generally have no soul, and therefore no conscience. The utmost that ever can be said in their excu-e is that, like unreasoning brings,they act unconsciously and without reflection. Complaints which have no thing but right to recommend them never disturb their repose. It requires reiterated cracks of the whip of public opinion to make them understand that they must change their course. As our re marks, therefore, the other day do not seem to have had their due effect, we must beg the attention of our readers to a few details on the subject. The Ad miralty may be assured that the public will not allow this matter to drop. It is of vast importance to the well-being of the Navy, and, therefore, of the country, and the abuses are too gross and ob vious to be overlooked. We have already given our readers a general idea of the waste and misappro priation of the funds of the Hospital, and we shooed that no less than two-thirds of the money of the in stitution had been diverted from its proper purpose. But it will put the matter in a still stronger sight if we enter a little into the details of this misappro priation. The Hospital is administered by a large Staff of Military, Civil, and Medical Officers. The military Government is at present in the hands of a Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, four Captains, three Commanders, six Lieutenants, and three Mas ters. The number o , men who absorb all this ad ministrative agency is at present 1,500. We say " at present," for there ought to be 2,642 men in the Hospital. That, however, does not effect the argu ment, for, as our correspondent showed the other day, the number of governors has increased as the number of men to be governed has diminished. Let our readers compare this proportion of officers to men with that which exists in a men-of-war. Let them remember, besides, that in the latter case Lac men are in constant activity and require con tinued supervision, while in the Hospital they have nothing to do, and the officers have only to exercise the most general superintendence. Add to this that all the minor work of supervision is done in the Hospital, as on shipboard, by petty officers, and then let them draw their own conclusions as to the use or excuse for so large a staff. All these officers cannot be wanted; and it is evident they are not, for many of them would be quite unable to do their work if they were. The posts are mere excuses for giving them salaries. Now we beg our readers' attention to what these salaries are. The Governor receives £1.500 a year as his nomi nal salary. In addition to this he receives £766 10s. a year as half-pay, pensions for wounds—of which, as fairly and honourably earned, we will not say a word—and, besides this, all man ner of allowances for oil, coal, wood, candles, 87c. And, lastly, he has apartments which amount to a handsome house. All the other salaries are in pro portion. Each of the three commanders receives £3OO a year salary, £155 2s. 6d. a year half pay, and, as one of them, who is non-resident, receives I £2 12s. 6d. a week for lodgings, we may assume that their apartments represent £125 a year, and they enjoy the same sort or allowances as the Governor. These are only two instances; we can not go through them all. But after this our readers will not be surprised to hear that the cost of the military and medical officers of the hospital in 1859 was £14,664, and this to look after the good order and the health of no more than 1,500 men ! We are sure that in order to convince our readers of the abuse we charge upon the Admiralty it is only necessary to state these facts. There is no need of argument to prove that this is not the way in which it was intended that:the funds of the Hospital should be applied. We are perfectly aware of the excuse which will be set up. It will be maintained that it was within the intention of the founders of the' Hospital that a certain number of meritorious and disabled officers should derive some support from its funds. Now, we draw our readers' particular at tention to a short extract, contained in a letter which we publish in another column, from the Act of Parliament, passed in 1696, by which the "sea men's sixpences" were given to the Hospital. It provides that " the widows of seamen slain, killed, or drowned in the sea service, and the children of such seamen so slain, killed, or drowned, and not of ability to maintain or provide comfortably for themselves, shall be received into the said Hospitai, and there be provided for." Wil, any one main tain that an Admiral in the receipt of halt-pay to the amount of £766 10s. and pensions besides, or a captain in the receipt of £l9l 12s 6d. as half-pay and £9l ss. as pensions, is not able to provide com fortably for himself P But if the Admiralty are not prepared to defend this absurd proposition, they must admit that all the appointments we have men tioned are coirrary to the purposes of the Hospital. It is obvious, however, that they have totally dis regarded this consideration, and indeed all the con siderations set forth in our correspondent's letter. One of their last acts was to appoint to the office of Commissioner on ke Civil Staff of the Hospital, with a salary of £6OO year and an allowance of four guineas a week for lodgings, and with no duties but to attend the Board et Greenwich an hour a week, the late Accountant-General of the Navy, who has retired from that post with a pension of £l,OOO a year. Our correspondent forcibly points out that they are running in the teeth of the Acts of Parlia ment relating to the Hospital by refusing to pro vide proper support for the wives and widows and families of the seamen, and every possible excuse for this gross and cruel neglect is taken away by the fact that, after paying all these extravagant ex penses, they had a surplus in 1859 of £28,387, and in 1860 of more than £40,000. This is going be yond all reasonable abuse. A little mismanagement, a little misappropriation, is to be expected in all such concerns. To err is human, and to job is official, and moderate jobbing, as moderate error, is easily pardoned. But there is a limit to forgiveness in both cases, and this jobbing passes every limit. We cannot but add that if the Admiralty persist in this course it will no longer be possible to put a favourable construction on their conduct. We give them every credit for having been led into these abuses unconsciously, but now that they are pointed out to them they cannot with honour delay imme diate redress. If they refuse to listen to the plain justice of this matter, it will be only possible to draw one or two conclusions—either that they know they are acting unjustly, and persist in so acting from motives of interest, or that they are insensible to the commonest considerations of reason and justice. It is easy for them to affect to disregard articles and letters in newspapers, and we acknow ledge ledge the wisdom of the course, and an h w ou e ld think of the steward in the parable. but w the Admiralty woull. hardly be however, praise at the expense of his ep ithet,dare determined to they will take this course, COnteensltfto earn his ent who will there no member of Parham mheission for the motions employ prefer prudence to honour and interest to justice, is the time which is wasted in . frivolous every compelling the refor mation in 12,000 h I ' Tuesday and Friday aanbaribuse a ? l o f tn t hardships of is ut abuse of a mation of and excite : re ra lt v e e a2Blkcinoglo,naenlsocean obtain a .

Similar manifestations of parochial vigour we happen to remember, and the results have not been such as to warrant much confidence in any general and comprehensive benefit to accrue from the present ejectment. A local benefit there may indeed be, if, for example, the special lodging houses in George-street were abolished, through the places operation of parochial or any other law, and tei filled by establishments for home mission aries, Scripture readers, or any other class of per sons os tensibly engaged in promotin g the interests t case there of religion and morality; then in t a HERALD.—We would not give much foe the sum which the Chancellor of the Exchequer will realise during his next financial year out of his extension of the income tax to public charities. There is a feel ing growing up in the country which will not per.. mit him to confiscate the property of orphans and widows, the sick, the needy, and the destitute, to secure that augmented surplus which is to establish his reputation with your profounder class of finan ciers as a safe Chancellor of the Exchequer. Did we, through the pressure of some considerable deficit, or the expectation of a year of difficulty, need so unusual an augmentation, nobody would be con tent to look for it from such a sourca. To propose to tax the aged and helpless dependents on an elee mosynary aid by no means too bountiful at the very moment that ho relieves from taxation incomes varying from one to two hundred pounds a year, is too culminating a point of absurdity to stand much discussion. Neither Pitt nor Sir Robert Peel, though both of them in times of much pressure have had the credit of exhausting every resource of taxation, seem to have thought of raising an income out of the unassisted misery of the unfortunate classes. The exemption of the poor from bearing any share in the burden has been the fundamental principle on which every income tax we have yet had has been founded, and there is really no excuse for the exception that is now proposed, except that the impost, if based in fact on the wretched them selves. in appearance falls only on accumulated capi tal. With regard to the hospitals, for example, even Mr. Gladstone's infinite power of sophistical ampli fication would be bard put to it to explain how any thing he extraets for the Government is not so much extracted from each unhappy Lazarus praying aid at their doors. We have not yet learn the art by which we can withdraw so much from the BUM that can be spent in supporting beds or furnishing medi cines without our having so many less admissions of in-patients and so much less attendance for out ! patients. Take away three or four thousands a year from St. Bartholomew's or St. Thomas's Hospital, and there can be but the result of tens of thousands of poor and destitute sick connected with them hay ing so many less beds and so much less medicine under distribution among them. It is possible enough that in some cases the fiscal encroachment on the charitable fund will be compensated by Inc stricter economy and more effective management which would be enforced by it. The notion is cap tivating, and there is this to be said in its favour, that there are few of those bodies to whom it would not be easy to suggest steps by which an improved administration might not turn their funds to more useful account. But Chancellors of the Exchequer are not expected to frame their budgets with a view to a reform of eleemosynary institutions, and the its inertia of a charitable corporation, if affected for a moment by an influence of this kind, is too natural a characteristic of such bodies to be so affected long.
