LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1863. " In the multitude of councillors there is wisdom," is a common saying, but, like many other sayings not always correct. Take the worthy governors of St. Thomas's Hospital, for example. Of their num ber there is no end, nor of their decisions is there any conclusive settlement. These consist of a gene ral body, divided into a grand committee, a sub committee, aud a treasurer's committee, which last seems to rule the roast. Now, in all this there must be a great variety of opinion, and not a little jea lousy. The hospital is richly endowed, and is per haps the wealthiest in the metropolis. Its princely income increases with the progress of time, and the march of improvement serves still more to contri bute to its fortune. Its situation near London-bridge, on the Surrey side, is contiguous to the terminus of both the Brighton and South-Eastern Railways. Some time ago the directors of the South-Eastern having occa sion to extend their line further westward, required a corner of the ground on which the hospital stands. This corner seemed of little value, nor would the intended railway alteration intrude but slightly on any portion of the buildings. But no. The hos pital would surrender no particle of the ground. The railway must take all or none. The ground was about four acres—but the railway did not know what to do with so much. They offered a fair price for the small corner required, but it was declined by the Governors of the hospital, who demanded the modest sum of seven hundred and fifty thousand pounds, or three. -quarters of a million sterling, for their valu able trust. Here was a demand large enough to s t agg er the consci e nce of even a ra il w ay company. Recourse to law became the order of the day, and eventually St. Thomas's Hospital was awarded to the Railway Company for £296,000. Thus what was deemed public utility triump hed over private cupidity under the mask of a public charity—so the wisdom of councillors did not ,benefit much by the motion. The Governors seem now to be as much at sea in the choice of a new habitation as they were per plexed in disposing of the old one. If there was a great deal of " bad blood" exhibited in the one case, there seems no better understanding in the other, if we may judge by the acrimony of repeated " con sultations," and yet there is no decision, save that the disease is " local"—but where ? " Who can decido when doctors disagree?" At one time there was an idea of going into the country for a cbange of air . , the patient being dis satisfied with a residence in town—but this was to their objected to by th e faculty as prejudicial fees. Then, to compound the difference, why not have a town and count r y house also, for expense was no object. True, money might be no object to the Governors, but time was a great objection to the doctors. In this dilemma more consultations were held, for the " irritation" was becom ing more alarming than ever, and each proposed prescription more objectionable, than the other, for none suggested any remedy of a " seda tive" tendency—and the question became, " Who can administer to a mind diseased! " " Send him to the Bethlehem," said one; " Why, the Treasurer has been in' Bedlam' already !" exclaimed another ; while a third hinted that Doctor's Commons might suit him better. Thus every wiseacre's remedy was better than his rival's, but the disease still lingers on without a " local habitation and a n ame." Various " eligible" eites for the new building were proposed and discussed ; each individual sug gester declaring with becoming diffidence his na tural disinterestedness in the scheme for " choice," the object being to obtain a site as central and con venient as possible in the south of London." New it has occurred to us that the piece of ground lately used as the Queen's Bench or prison is very central, and would be found convenient to the neighbour hood, being accessible on every side. The only disadvantage appears to be insufficiency of extent, but that could be easily remedied by taking in adjacent ground and premises of no great v . Surely if th© " Old Hospital." was carried ou bi.neficLilly on four acres, and that not wholly occupied, there is room i,nd verge enough for the new one to dispense relief and comfort on a scale commensurate with the requirements of that noble Charity. The news from Poland is anything but reassur ing. However the present crisis may terminate, we fear that it will inevitably result in fresh op- pressions, fresh exactions to that unhappy people. We learn from Berlin that owing to the interruption of the telegraphic communication no reliable infor mation had been received, but the latest intelli gence reports that the insurrection in Warsaw had been completely subdued ; and a traveller who left that ill-fated city on Sunday mom -lug reported it to be tranquil. In official quarters, the speedy sup pression of the outbreak is confidently looked for. The Russian authorities have too often seen the indignant uprising of the trampled nation subdued by the strong hand of military despotism, and the scaffold, the knout, and Siberia pay the debt due from the CZAR to inconvenient patriotism and obsti nate independence. There is, no doubt, grounds for their expectation, although the simultane ous outbreak in all parts of the kingdom show an extended and systematic design rather than the irrepressible movement of sudden indignation. We can scarcely anticipate such an immediate subjection of the Poles. The action of a secret central committee, whose words are law throughout the whole country, is difficult to deal with, and though it is improbable that the present outbreak will succeed in accomplishing! the far-off hope of Polish independence, it is probable that it will give the oppressors some trouble before they tread out these revolutionary fires, and leave the land to the gloom and national dark ness in which their tyranny has too long plunged it. What, then, do the Russians propose es the end of their noble and Christian efforts ? What is to be the fate of those two thousand conscripts, the flower of Polish youth, who have just deserted from their enforced service. The eyes of civilised Europe are upon them and will watch their actions narrowly. The speech of the CZAR to his army shows no relenting, although we are told that he manifested emotion while address ing them. Well may he be troubled, for the blood shed, the suffering, the fierce and cruel passions aroused on both sides, are doubtless his own work. He has kindled the flame, and who can tell where its ravages will stop, or what it will destroy ? The Imperial speaker sees in the events before him only " the work of the revolutionary party desirous of overturning legal order everywhere." This party reckons, he affirms, on finding traitors in the Russian ranks, but he expresses his confidence in the devotion of the army, and his conviction that if circumstances should require, he may depend on their faithful assistance, and affecting magnani mity be declares that " even in presence of these atrocities he will not accuse the whole Polish nation." Yet, that the Whole Polish nation is dis affected to the Russian Government, there is not the shadow of a doubt, and if the EMPEROR can find no better way of reconciling it than by invoking the assistance of his army, his reign is likely to be fruitful of internal com motions. It is indeed high time, for its own in terests, that Russia tried some other system of government. The experiment could scarcely re sult in more disaster and disgrace. We, who ob tain only the bare outlines of these conflicts, can hardly realise the injury inflicted on the country, not by them only, but by the state of affairs that produce them. The insecurity of life and pro perty—the risk of the terrible conscription—the violent repression of all thought, and speech, and action throughout the length and breadth of a land whose people have always been remarkable for their proud and patriotic spirit, could not be expected to produce other than violent results. The question for the CZAR and his Ministers to consider is how long the state of Poland is to be a scandal to Europe, and a reproach to themselves—how long enforced submission is to alternate with these die. estrous outbreaks, which renewing and keeping alive the angry feeling on both sides go far to pre vent all chance of union between the peoples of Russia and Poland. With all our boasted humanity there are occa sionally transactions brought to light in this modern Babylon which startle the most unthinking and shake us a little in our self-satisfaction. It cer tainly seems somewhat extraordinary that with all our expensive appliances for the relief of destitution and punishment of vagrancy, in the midst of our hospitals, our workhouses, our police-stations, with porters, and constables, and relieving-officers sup posed to be always on the watch, a woman should be found in the streets of this great metropolis dying of absolute hunger and cold. Yet such was the case a day or two ago. A woman was seen crouching on a door step in the dreary dawn of a winter's morning by a gay party returning from a festive meeting. What was the ragged, dejected creature to them ? Doubtless she seemed to be scarcely the same flesh and blood as the fair maidens fresh from the scene of social en joyment. They passed in ; and, perhaps, it is hard to blame them, for it was certainly probable enough that she was merely one of the victims of intoxica tion, too frequently found in our streets. As one of the party was a surgeon, however, who after wards rendered every assistance to the unfortunate woman, it is a matter of still greater regret that he did not take the trouble to ascertain her real condition. Time went on, a policeman on his beat went by the lonely figure and, thinking the same thing, passed on, probably deeming it little kindness to rouse her from her torpor. Policemen are always too ready to jump at this con clusion and melancholy deaths have often resulted from it. The constable in question, however, see ing the woman later, an d st i l l i n t h e same position, tried to arouse her. Her real s t a te once known, every t was stimulants He a awere given, willingly ren dered, but relief came too late.rangtehr the surger y bell, and hot coffee and s given, but her case was seen to be so desp era t e that her immediate removal to the infirmary fo was thought necessary.

There is certaialy room for reform in the matter of our public relief. The casual wards of work- houses are no real assistance to the friendless pauper, houseless and benighted_ 'What would bee , )me of the thousands whom our night refuges shelter did not voluntary charity come to the rescue ? Surely ' our authorities should look into this matter, that our wealthy Christian nation may no longer bear the shame of deaths from actual starvation in the midst of our London thoroughfares. THE ACCIDENT AT THE PRINCESS'S THEATRE.-- We were informed last night that Miss Smith was likely to survive, and that Miss aunt, tl:•ough more seriously injured than was at first supposed, will also recover. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESI)AY EVENING, JANUARY 27, 1863. -• "4", Y ,4.! '.\\ \ it rt CauTat Clill lIER. MAJESTY. OSBORNE, Jan. 26. The Queen and Princess Louis of Hesse walked out this morning. The Prince of Wales. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, attended by Lieut. •General Knollys and Captain Grey, arrived at Buckingham Palace yesterday afternoon from Sandringham Hall, Norfolk. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales again honoured the Haymarket Theatre last night with his pre sence. His Royal Highness was accompanied by Captain Grey and the Hon. Mr. Meade. SANDRINGHAM, Jan. 26. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, accom panied by Prince Louis of Hesse, Lieut.-General Knollys, Captain Grey, Captain von Westerweller, and Mr. Knollys, were out shooting in the Woolverton Woods on Thursday and Friday last. The Royal party were particularly suc cessful in woodcock shooting. Friday brought his Royal Highness's present shooting season to a close, and it is most satisfactory to know that his Royal Highness has met with such excellent and abundant sport on his first shooting at the Sandringham preserves. On Saturday an arrangement bad been made for another day with the West Norfolk Hunt, the meet being fixed for Sandringham. Mr. Villebois, master of the hunt, arrived at Sandringham on Friday, and had the honour of break fasting with his Royal Highness before the " meet," which took place at the park gates, within a stone's throw of the hall, at half-past eleven. His Royal Highness was attended by Lieutenant-General Knollys, Captain Grey, and Mr. Knollys. The order was first given for the "Avenue covers," which were drawn, but found to be blank. Woolverton Wood was next tried, where his Royal Highness had on the previous day seen three or four foxes, but without better success. The covers at Babing ley, Castle Rising, and West Newton were most assidu ously drawn, but though during the day two or three old foxes were sighted, it was found impossible to get away ; and after about four hours' working, much to the disap pointment of the whole field, it was found necessary to write it down as a blank day. On Sunday morning his Royal Highness attended Divine service at Sandringham Church. This morning (Monday) his Royal Highness, accom panied by Lieutenant-General Knollys, Captain Grey, and suite, left Sandringham Hall for Buckingham Palace His Royal Highness left Sandringham at 10.30, proceeding from Woolverton by the eleven o'clock ordinary train. The Duke of Devonshire arrived at Holkar Hali on Saturday from visiting the Duke of Rutland at Belvoir Castle. The Earl and Countess Russell have postponed leaving Pembroke Lodge, Richmond Park, for Chesham plaoe, from Tuesday the 27th to Thursday the 29th inst. Viscount Palmerston comes to town to-day from Broadlands. Her ladyship is expected in town early next week. Lord and Lady Harry Vane have been entertain ing the following party at Battle Abbey during the past week :—The Earl of Albemarle, Lord and Lady William Powlett, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Baring, Mr. and Mrs. John Leslie, Hon. Julian Fane, Sir Edwin Landseer, Captain Purey Cust, &c. _ - - Lord Stanley of Alderley arrived at his resEenee in Dover-street yesterday from Alderley Park, Cheshire. Her ladyship and family are expected on Saturday next. The Right Hon. T. Milner Gibson arrived in town yesterday. Colonel the Hon. H. Annesley, M.P., Scots Fusilier Guards, has arrived in Norfolk. street, Park-lane, from Canada, for the session of Parliament. Sir Francis H. Goldsmid, M.P., and Lady Gold smid have arrived at St. John's Lodge, Regentts-park, from their continental tour. A deputation of the City of London Police Com mittee, re City Traffic Bill, consisting of Mr. Deputy Lott (sub-chairman), Mr. Alderman Finnis, Mr. Alderman Bosley, Mr. Deputy Elliott, with the Town Clerk, had an interview yesterday with Secretary Sir George Grey at the Home-office. --- A deputation respecting the new rules for convict prisons had yesterday an interview with Sir G. Grey, and presented a memorial from the Protestant Alliance, re questing that the new rules may be withdrawn, and the rules which have been in force for so many years may be reverted to. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colo nial-office from the Governors of the Cape of Good Hope, Natal, St. Helena, the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, and from the Governor of Canada. Despatches were sent to the Governors of Malta, the Mau ritius, Ceylon, Hong Kong, Labuan, the Australian Colo nies, and Gibraltar. On Sunday morning last the Rev. Henry Drury, M.A., Archdeacon of Wilts and Chaplain to the House of Commons,died suddenly at his residence atßrem- Lill, near Chippenham. The rev, gentleman had bees in his usual health on the previous evening, and was only at tacked by the fatal disease a short time before his death. The melancholy event was announced to the rev. gentle man's congregation during the service on Sunday morning and produced a profound impression. The rev. gentleman, it will be remembered, had only been appointed to the arch deaconry in July last, on the death of the Rev. W. Mac donald, but his ability as a theologian and his amiable con duct as a gentleman had won for him the most profound respect of the clergy and laity in the whole diocess, and his death will be the source of the deepest regret. The Archdeacon belonged to the moderately High Church party. He was appointed Chaplain to the House of Com mons by Mr. Evelyn Denison when the right hon. gentle man was elected Speaker. INNER TEMPLE.—The undermentioned gentlemen were yesterday called to the bar by the Honour • able Society of the Inner Temple :—Mr. Wm, Grantham, holder of the studentship awarded this present Hilary Term ; Mr. W.

JOHN OILBERT—THE KING OF ILLUSTRATIVE ART—is thus remarked upon in the Spectator. It would be a curious and interesting thing to have a return made of the actual number of illustrations he gives to the world in the course of a single year —not one of which un known number is not, in its particular line, as perfect as possible. The best example of his surprising talents in this respect that occur to us at this moment are his designs to Ainsworth's " cantingLanca shirein leavesofwhichother Witches," and t o a little book by the late Captain Marry a t, ca ll e d "Th e Child ren o f th e N ew Forest," thelatter and reckless the wild Cavaliers outlaws utl a w ands and eGilbert far positively behindi hi surpasses reeapier him self,represen- tations and of Roundheads, o of the ndaersactrop-eared the New Forest, with which I:t " atirTing - ;e, - tirra de light of our schoolboy day s , a b oun d s . No part of his d es igns exhibits the slightest mark s o f carelessness or over hurried work, and his figures aro always full of life and spirit, which is the more remarkable, as we believe he sel dom if ever makes use of a model for any drawing he may make for Wood-engraving. His composition, too, even in the smallest of his designs, is faultless, and full of charm ing harmony of line-almost as important an element of a work of art, by the way, as harmony of colour. As long as Mr. Gilbert can be prevailed upon to lend his pencil to illustrate the conceptions of his author's mind, so long, at least, will illustrative art hold the proud position it now oc cupies in England. A dreadful murder has been committed at the village of Ashby-Folville, near Melton. Two farm servants were left alone in a farmhouse, on Sunday after noon, while the family were at church, and it appears that one of them, a l a d o f s i x teen, shot the other — a y oun g man, named Harvey—dead. The murderer at once absconded, but he Was apprehended on the following morning at Leicester. He had in his possession the deceased's Prayer 4 Book and a pawn-tick e t f or H arvey ' s wa t c h.

General Prim proposes to place himself at the head of the Progressist party, which he intends to reor- ganise. It is doubtful whether Senor Olozaga will allow General Prim to carry out his intention. The Ministry have resolved to provoke a discus sion, which may result in a vote of confidence from the Congress. _ . The Ministry will contend against the difficulties which they encounter, provided the Crown and the country afford them their support. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, JAN, 26. Yesterday, during parade, the Emperor addressed he officers present in a speech manifesting some emotion. After mentioning the recent events in Poland, his Imperial Majesty said—" Even in presence of these atrocities I will not accuse the whole Polish nation. I see in these events only the work of the revolutionary party, desirous of overturning legal order everywhere. I know that this party reckons upon finding traitors in our ranks. It will, how ever, not shake my belief in the faith and devoted ness of the army, which will now more than ever fulfil its duties. Should circumstances require, you will prove that I can depend upon you." The speech produced some effect among the offi cers, and was followed by cheers for the Emperor. THE PRINCIPALITIES. BUCHAREST, JAN. 26. Several alarming rumours in reference to Prince Couza have been recently current, but are all un founded, except that transient discord between the Government and the members of the National Assembly has taken place. The deputies have only returned within the last two days from their Christmas vacation, and have not yet held a public sitting on account of a quorum being incomplete. FRANCE. PARIS, JAN. 27. The Paris papers of to-day publish the follow ing telegram, stated to proceed from a Russian source : it WARSAW, JAN. 25. "The insurrectionar3 movement now displa3 s its real character. " The great landed pr o p r i e t ors a nd the peasants abstain from participating in it, as they understand that it can onl y draw misfortune upon th e coun t r y and arrest its develop- ment. " The lower middle class, working men, and a few pro , prietors of small estates, are in the movement." PARIS, JAN. 26. In the Senate to-day M. Troplong read a draught of the address. After approving the speech of the Emperor upon home policy the address applauds the friendly tendencies of the foreign policy of the Emperor, who, in his relations with Cabinets, does not separate the legitimate aspirations of peoples from the law of treaties. It then proceeds— "In Mexico nothing remains but to advance. We rely entirely upon our heroic army. " The attitude of Italy tends to allay apprehen sions after having brought them into being. The period of conflicts is recediug ; that of arrangements appear to be drawing near. Rome is no longer spoken of at Turin, and at Rome herself the Go vernment is occupied with reforms. Supported by the presence of our army, the Pope has loudly expressed his gratitude to the Emperor. His Holi hess is aware that the independence of Italy is not based upon a pact of France with the revolution — (applause)—and that your Majesty's assistance may be reckoned on when the claims of honour and past engagements have been fulfilled." The address concludes with an expression of re gret that the proposal of France for mediation in America has appeared premature to the other Powers. La Trance of this evening asserts that Prince Nicolas of Nassau is a candidate for the throne of Greece. The . Siecle considers the two speeches of the Emperor and the Prir.ce, and says that they have been received with the greatest acclamation. In French society there are instincts of liberty and fraternity which gain approval from their immor tal base of institutions founded by the French re volution. The Pays refers to the Emperor's speech to the French Exhibitors of London, and states that on both sides of the Channel it will have an immense effect ; and that the profound impression it pro duced on its hearers will be shared by its readers. Therefore in both countries there must be the firm conviction that it will produce the most happy and powerful influence upon public opinion. Th e Constitutionnel, in referring to the same topic, speaks in the highest terms of eulogy, and de clares that no one has been met with who was not struck with admiration at the combined effect of so much wisdom, and so much elevation of thought and of language.

Experienced politicians opine that we need not expect a crisis, unless the Rigs-raad, the assembly for the Danish Realm, should carry still further the opposition it exhibited in its last session. Still, the vote of the Lands-thing has made the situation some what precarious, and it will become still more so shortly for the Holstein chambers, which meet on Saturday, will certainly do all in their power to break up the whole Dauish state. DENMARK. After the meeting of the Council on Monday the 20th, when the dr Its for the documents to be laid before the Holstein Chamber was approved by the King, the Ministers had the honour of dining with his Majesty. The Premier, Mr. HAD, proposed a toast for the King, reminding the party that it was the loth anniversary of his Majesty's ascending the throne, and calling attention to the important place whic h h is Majesty' s reign would fill in the annals of the country, His Nl,lj,sty replied—" You have announced that it is 15 years since I assumed the reins of govern ment. Yes; 15 years have passed since I promised solemnly my late father and king, on his dying bed, that I would make his beloved Denmark happy. lam conscious of having always endea voured so to do, the same path." and I will continue to toy lest The proposed address to the King was read a first time on Th ursday by a major i ty o f 40 t o 2 in the Upper H ouse (the Lands-thing for Den mark proper), and on T uesday evening was fi na lly adopted by 30 ayes to 2 nays. It will b e presen ted by the Speaker, and two members c h ose n i n the chamber. On both occasions the Ministerial bench was empty. SWEDEN. The long-expected Swedish Reform Bill has at last been laid before the Swedish Parliament. It is worthy of the King, Carl XV. from Ns hom it has sprung, of the Cabinet which has anxiously weighed every paragraph, and of the free and gallant nation to which it is addressed. The old forms were not only cumbersome and absurd, but the four chambers sometimes came to a dead lock on the most important questions. There will now be two chambers only, each of them with equal pawers. The Upper House will be chosen direct by the pro vincial assemblies and town representatives, with the census for the deputies of an income rather high in Sweden, about £2OO, and the Lower House indirectly, by electors, but with a very low census for the voters. Count De Geer's introduction or explanatory remarks were most masterly, and the whole plan has been received with acclamation. The two lower Chambers, the House of Yeomen and the House of Burghers, have already agreed to thank his Majesty in corpore. THE INSURRECTION IN POLAND. BRESLAU, Jan. 26 (Evening), The BreBlauer Zeitung of to•day states that the largest body of insurgents is in the districts of Gas tonin, and asserts that Kielce and Pietrokow have fallen into the possession of the rebels. A revolutionary proclamation has been issued promising all landed property to the peasants, and announcing to them that General Mieroslawki is in Poland. Many landed proprietors have fled to Warsaw. LEMBERG, Jan. 26. Intelligence has been received here that it was by desire of the Secret Central Committee the per sonsdestined Lr military service dispersed through otit the country. The report that Kielce had been taken by the in surgents is incorrect. _ DRESDEN, Jan. 26. The official Dresdener Journal of to-day publishes a telegram direct from Warsaw, dated Sunday evening, which, however, contains nothing new. It states that perfect tranquillity prevails at Warsaw, and that the insurgents are being pursued in all portions of the provinces. BERLIN, Jan. 26. Some Berlin bankers have received letters from Warsaw to-day,with the postmark of Saturday last, stating that telegraphic communication from War saw has been interrupted in all directions. For this reason no reliable intelligence has yet been received here from Poland. A telegram, however, from Myslowitz, sent by a traveller who left War saw on Sunday morning,states that tranquillity pre vailed in that capital at the time of his departure. BERLIN, Jan. 26 (Evening). The latest reliable intelligence received from Po land states that the insurrection at Warsaw has been completely subdued. In official quarters here it is confidently expected that. the rising which has taken place in other parts of the country will like wise soon be suppressed. Intelligence from the Grand Duchy of Posen states that there is no trace of any connection between that Prussian province and the insurgents, tranquil lity prevailing even upon the frontier between Po land and Prussia. No news of Polish insurgents hav ing entered Prussian territory has been received. BRESLAU, San. 26. The Sehlesische Zeitung of to-day announces that the goods traffic upon the Upper Silesian Railway from the Prussian side to Poland has been stopped, and that no goods whatever are despatched hence to Poland. It was mentioned yesterday that the official jour nal at Warsaw had published an article announcing that the levy of troops had taken place in the most satisfactory manner; but as the present insurrection is considered to have broken out in consequence of this measure having been adopted by the Russian Government, and as the outbreak gives the most de cided denial to the official statement, the article in the official journal is now given entire : " On the 15th inst., in the early hours from one to eight in the morning, the levy of military took pl ice at Warsaw in the most complete peace and order. No single instance of opposition had to be contended against, and for the last 30 years there has not been such an example of willingness and pleasure on the part of the conscripts. In the coun cil hall and in the citadel, where they were placed in the meantime, and where they were tended with every care, they showed the best and indeed joyful feeling. Many of them complained of the revolu tionary attempts on the part of the anarchists and the pretended authorities of this party, who led them from the paths of honourable labour to idle ness and senselessdreams, and thereby had sacrificed their previous earnings. TEds agrees entirely with the depositions which were made by the people ac cused of having belonged to the so-called national organisation when under examination at the court martial. Many of the conscripts expressed the joy they felt that by entering the school of order, which military service would be to them, they would be withdrawn from irksome inactivity and idleness, the more so as there is now a diminution of the time of service, and as the treatment of the soldiers in the ranks is changed for the better. Many persons who were indicated as belonging to the Warsaw conscrip tion, but on account of absence on the day of the levy, or from other unavoidable causes, could not take their places, have now come voluntarily to the authorities. The number of these is 49, and others have announced themselves as volun teers. The repressive measures taken by the civil and military authorities in case of disorder were not at all necessary. The military and the police conducted themselves in a most exemplary manner, and the fortunate result of this important mea sure in the capital gives rise to the hope of a similar termination in the provinces, and that there also the agitations of the anarchists will be equally fruitless." DEATH OF MR. W. BECKETT.—lnformation reached Leeds yesterday by telegraph of the death of Mr. Wm. Beckett, formerly the Parliamentary represen tative for Leeds, and ono of the principal members of the oldest banking establishment in Leeds. Mr, Beckett, who has been ill but for .a short time, died at Brighton yester• day afternoon, at half-past 12 o'clock, He was brother of Sir Thomas Beckett, and of Mr. Edmund Denison, the chairman of the Great Northern Railway Company. He represented Leeds in Parliament from 1841 to 1852, when he retired from the representation of that borough, and was in the same year elected for Ripon, which city he re presented for a few years. He was a Conservative, but supported free trade, and in general the measures of the late Sir R. Peel. He was born in 1784, and married a sis ter of Mr. H. C. Ingram, of Templenewsam, near Leeds. He has left no children, but his wife survives him. ALPINE SNOWS.—A letter from Coire, in Swit zerland, dated Thursday last, states that the com munication with Italy through the passages of the Alps, which had been interrupted, is again free, thanks to the exertions of the post •office authorities and the nlighbour • ing peasants. The mail from Milan was stopped for five days at Campodolcino, on the south side of the Splugen-road. There were ten feet of snow on the ground, and it became necessary to postpone the burial of the per sons who died in the village. The passage of the St, Gothard was likewise completely closed, and even the tele graphic communication was interrupted. The excellent dogs maintained in the hospices of the Alps had rendered great service. The snow was 14 feet deep at the Bernardin. The village of Bedretto di Mezzo was ov.rwhelmed by an avalanche on the 7th, at noon, Only two houses escaped ; thirty-two persons perished. At Crodo, near Domodossola, eighty persons were buried under the 'snow. News from Lunigiana and the province of Lucca gives sad particulars of the ravages calved by the torrents swollen by the rain and melting snow, LITERATURE Aurora Floyd. By M. E. Brathlon, Author of " Lady Audley's Secret." 3 Vols. Tinsley. This is a singular story that is replete with in terest of an exciting kind, and full of incidents of so startling a nature that they are sure to arrest at tention. There is considerable talent displayed in its reoital from beginning to end, and from many causes it is sure to rank high among the sensation novels now so much in vogue. The plot of the story is original in many points, and towards the conclusion, so skilfully is it carried on, that the reader is left for some time in uncertainty as to whether Aurora actually committed the murder or not. Knowing her violent temper, and the mad dening nature of the circumstances in which she was placed, one is tempted to fancy that, in the ex citement of the moment, she might have lifted tier hand against one who had destroyed the peace of her whole life, who had blighted the hopes end withered the freshness of her young days, and seemed destined to hover round her and blast the meridian and close of her existence. From this idea, however, the image of "Steenie" soon releases us; for, however unworthy had been Aurora's actions, there had as yet been no evidence to show that she harboured any malicious intentions, or was capable of cruelty, much less of crime. The details given concerning this passage are of the most dramatic kind, and redound to the credit of the authoress, who has effected a masterpiece of composition. From the first arrival of John Con yers at Mellish-park, until his ghastly departure therefrom to render an account of his awful life, we are carried on by an irresistible fascination. Nearly all the characters who figure in this event ful epoch are admirably drawn ; the only one to which exception might be taken is Mrs. Powell ; her malignity to Aurora is rather overdrawn, as the latter had done her no actual harm and never came into collision with her. At the same time the cunning of this lady is very aptly portrayed; the various devices and several schemes are amusing to follow, except that the treachery of her conduct makes it loathsome to witness. "Steenie" is very naturally drawn, and it was a warning to Aurora for her violence and vehemence, that one she trampled under foot should have been the clause of such heavy troubles to her, and, indeed, nearly have brought down upon her a death of disgrace. It is a positive relief to turn from such wild and stormy natures to dwell upon the doings of honest John Mellish. We feel the triumph of rectitude in the career of this worthy man. He had no gifts of intellect and no graces of demeanour, but he was true, stedfast, and sterling. When he first staggered under the blow of the sudden calamity that had overtaken him, he was conscien tious enough to feel his deficiencies. Sins of com mission poor John Mellish could not lay to his charge, but sins of omission he must plead guilty to. The worst of his faults, however, sprung from want of thought, and not from want of heart. The sim plicity of his heart has something touching in it. Instead of railing at his wife, and cursing all around him, as too many men would have done in his cruel situation, he only looked to his own conduct as the cause why the wrath of heaven and the scorn of men had descended upon him. He confessed, in his searching self-examination during the night that succeeded the murder, that he had not deserved his happiness. In pursuance of this idea we meet with an earnest exhortation to those whose lives have been prosperous, whose portion has fallen in plea sant places, as to whether they duly consider and rightly estimate the nature of their services to their Maker, in proportion to the benefits and blessings He has showered down upon them :—" It will be a very small per centage which you will yield your Master for the ten talents entrusted to your care. Remember John Howard, fever-stricken and dying; Mrs. Fry, labouring in criminal prisons; Florence Nightingale in the bare hospital chambers, in the close and noxious atmosphere amongst the dead and the dying. These are the people who return cent. per cent, for the gifts intrusted to them. These are the saints whose good deeds shine amongst the stars for ever and ever; these are the indefatigable workers who when the toil and turmoil of the day is done, hear the Master's voice in the still even time, welcoming them to His rest." Some may consider John's devotion to his wife is overdrawn, bat then he had known all along that there was a secret hanging over her, she had con fessed that to him before their marriage, but was unable, she said, to fathom the mystery or divulge the dark details of it. John Mellish had trusted her, and with him trust was once and for ever. For a moment in the face of distinct and decisive proof against her, he wavered for an instant as to whether or not she had committed the awful act imputed to her by rumour, but then he thought that she had been led on by excitement and irritated by provocation on the part of the deceived, he never for a moment sus pected Aurora of deliberate guilt or of a stain on her reputation. Talbot Bulstrode was of a very supe rior cast of mind to his friend ; he was an accom plished gentleman, while John Mellish was quite rustic in his style, but at the same time the simple Yorkshireman had the advantage in disposition, for he had more trust, more faith, and more charity. Talbot, however, made atonement fo. the past by his zeal and alacrity at last, and there was something chivalrous in his devotion to the cause of the woman whom he thought had injured him. Aurora her self is a most able portraiture. Coarse as were her tastes at first, impetuous as her temper was, and most blameable her conduct in many respects, we yet feel a sort of regard for her, and take a deep interest in her fate when she is verging on such awful prospects. She tones down also in her ways as time goes on ; and though there still remain many drawbacks to betray the want of early culture and careful training in disci plining and counteracting the evil influences around her, still she was not the same as Mrs. Mellish that she was as Miss Floyd. When she is attacked by savage hate and surrounded by vile espionage, when she is enclossd in the toils of a designing villain, and made the dupe of selfish cunning, then we forget her faults in indignation at her wrongs. Still there is an awful warning contained in the striking passage of this denoue ment. We are not allowed to compromise with crime; the statutes of human laws, the decrees of divine justice, are alike arrayed against it. No one can bury his sin in the earth or hide it from the face of heaven. Years may roll on, friends may surround, enemies disappear, but the day of reckoning w:11 surely come. The dark secret was buried, but the earth has given up her dead, and the wrath of an offended God is too surely and searchingly made manifest to crush the guilty. Aurora thought that she had expiated her fault ; but who is allowed to mete out the measure of the sum of his iniquity P However, she suffered con siderably altogether ; therefore, we may take leave of her with the charitable supposition, that her after-years would roll on freed from the heavy bur den of a secret crime. There is an impressive pas sage relative to the spread of evil in its countless ramifications, and the burdens that others have to bear in consequence of the effects of the crime being shifted en to their shoulders instead of the original sinner bearing the weight for him self. "The influence of the strong man's evil deed slowly percolates through insioious channels, of which he never knows or dreams. The deed of folly or of guilt does its fatal work when the sinner who committed it has forgotten his wickedness, who shall say where and when the results of one man's evildoing shall cease? The seed of sin en genders no common root, shooting straight upwards through the earth, and bearing a given crop. It is the germ of a foul running weed, whose straggling suckers trail underground beyond the ken of mortal eye, beyond the power of mortal calculation. On the whole, then, there is ample evidence in this work of considerable powers of construction, of great facility in description of character, and an uncommon talent for sketching forcible Beeriest From the commencement of the story the reader would not have supposed it pro bable that so much could have been made of it. We watch the untutored girl becoming gradually a woman, capable of deep feeling, and influenced by levated affection, until at last she seems worthy of being the heroine of an exciting story Various minor adjuncts continue to add attractions to the narrative, and the book is certain to create a great sensation among all classes of novel readers, alike from its merit of desig a and skill of execution. There are also here and there met with some fine passages of a reflective character, and some impres sive warnings regarding the thoughtless and incon siderate actions so easily committed, but whose consequences are often so difficult to obviate and so dangerous to encounter. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. LATEST-THIS DAY. Major-General the Hon. James Lindsay has been appointed to the command of the Brigade of Guards in Canada, vice Major-General Lord Frederick Paulet, who is about to return home for the purpose of assuming command of the Brigade of Guards in England, rendered vacant by the expiration of Major-General Crawford's five years' term of staff service. It is said that there is no unwillingness in certain quarters to get rid of General Lindsay's presence in the House of Commons, where his un failing advocacy of the claims of the army is some times exceedingly unpleasant to the official mind. It is believed that Colonel Pipon is to succeed Major-General Lord Frederick Paulet as Inspector- General of the Militia, for whom, though lately com manding the Guards in Canada, the appointment has hitherto been kept open. Colonel Pipon has up to this time only held the acting appointment during Lord Frederick's absence. A new annual is about to swell the ranks of periodical literature. It is to be called The Journal of the Brigade of Guards, and will be composed of contributions from the officers of the Household Troops, including accounts of travels, adventures, sporting excursions, &c. To these will also be added a chronicle of the doings of the Brigade during the past year. The editor is J. Dilby, Esq., of Messrs. Cox and Co., and it is understood hat the work will receive distinguished patronage. We regret to state that Field Marshal Lord Seaton is still in such a state of health as to cause serious uneasiness to his friends. The notice taken by the Commander-in-Chief of the recent practical joking in the 18th Hussars has not been confined, as stated in some newspapers, to mere reprimand and stoppage of promotion of those concerned. Several officers, it is understood, will be obliged to retire; and it is said that, as a further punishment, the regiment will shortly be despatched to India, instead of the sth Lancers, as originally intended. This proceeding seems a great hardship on the men of the regiment. There is a pretty general belief that Major- General Sir Sidney Cotton will obtain the colonelcy of the 10th Rtgiment, rendered vacant by the death of General Burke. This opinion is founded on the fact of Sir Sidney having for many years com manded the 10th Regiment, as well on the impor tant services he rendered during the Indian mutiny, and the circumstance that he has just completed his period of staff employment. • Major-General Fludyer, we are sorry to be in formed, is in a very critical state of health, so much so indeed that but small hopes are entertained as to his recovery. Arrangements were yesterday commenced in the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich for the erection of a new chemical department. The site selected is the spacious shot and shell ground fronting the paper factory, and adjoining the mounting ground. The latter, provided with hydraulic cranes for mounting guns, is ordered to be roofed in with galvanised and corrugated iron sheds. It is stated that the 4th Depot Battalion will arrive at the camp at Colchester in March. It is at present stationed at Canterbury. The new cavalry barracks at Colchester comprise a two-story building, 135 ft. long by 27ft. wide, to be employed as a place of amusement and recreation for the troops. The ground-floor comprises a day room, 60ft. by 23ft., and 14ft. high; a sergeants' messroom, 35ft. by 23ft., with kitchen, &c. The second floor has a fine reading-room, 75ft. by 23ft., and 20ft. high, warmed by two fireplaces, and ven tilated with fresh and foul-air flues. At one end is a coffee-room, fitted with stove-boiler, &c., with a counter in communication with the reading-room by a sliding sash window. At the other end is a library to be fitted with shelves and closets, and adjoining are apartments for the librarian. The barrack stores adjoin the officers' entrance, and comprise a one-story building 129 ft. long by 26-14 t. wide and 20ft. high. One end is devoted to the barrack master's and barrack sergeants' offices, and the re mainder is occupied by utensil, bedding, and straw stores, 17ft. wide, and utensil and bedding stores 30ft. wide. A coal store, 841 t. long and 34ft. wide, is provided. The cookhouse is situated between the troop stables and the soldiers' quarters. It is 25ft. by 23ft. and 16ft. high, and is fitted with six boilers, for 50 men each, and an oven for 250 men. The guardhouse is 112 ft. long by 23ft. wide and 1811. high. It comprises a guardroom, three cells, an orderly-clerk's room, an orderly-room, and pay master's office, engine -house, latrines, &c. The shops, quartermaster's stores, &c., are 155 ft. long by 24ft. wide, and a shoeing shed, 50ft. by 16ft., has also been provided. An infant school is in tended to be erected upon a piece of land near Monckwick farm, adjoining Berechurch-road, also to be the site of the married men's quarters. The buildings executed are of red brick, with white brick dressings and string courses; the external walls of living and bed rooms, offices, &c., have been built hollow with vitrified boundary bricks, and a damp proof course has been laid below the ground floor line. A notification has been received at Chatham gar rison that the Secretary of State for War, on the recommendation of the Ordnance Select Committee, has approved the 110-pounder Armstrong gun, weighing 75cwt., hitherto known by the name of Armstrong's " unstrengthened 110 pounder," being in future designated the " light 110 pounder Arm strong gun." On the recommendation of Field- Marshal the Duke of Cambridge, each artillery sta tion, at home arid abroad, to which Petman's con cussion fuzes have been issued, will be furnished, for purposes of instruction, with the following stores, viz.:—One specimen fuze, one ditto in parts, one section of fuze before firing, one ditto after firing, and one drawing and description of fuze. By direction of the Duke of Cambridge, officers commanding districts and stations hav,e received orders to forward to the Deputy-Adjt.-Geta., Royal Artillery, demands for the new kind of duck cloth ing for use by the Royal Artillery when employed in cleaning the Armstrong guns supp ied for gar rison service, as well as the 40 pounder Armstrong batteries of position, in the proportion of two suits per gun. The arrangements for the removal of the invalid establishment at Chatham, together with the medi cal staff, professors, and other officers connected with the Army Medical School at Fort ritt, to the new hospital at Netley, near Southampton, are expected to be completed in the course or a few weeks. The entire medical staff at the General Hospital, Fort Pitt, as well as the staff of the invalid establishment and pay-offices, will quit Chatham for the new esta blishment at Netley. The responsible appointment ot Governor of Netley Hospital has been conferred on Col. R. Wilbraham, C. 13., the present Governor of the General Hospital at Woolwich. On the removal of the General Hospital from Chatham it is at present intended to transfer the 3d depot bat talion to Fort Pitt, when the hut barracks, now occupied by the 3d battalion, will be available for the reception of one of the regiments of the line arriving from India. CHARGE OF GAROTTE ROBBERY IN EITERY STREET.—A burly-looking Irishman, named Patrick Finn, was charged at the City Police-court yesterday with stealing a hat, the property of Overton Only, a factory operative, living in Gledhill-street. The prosecutor said that about half-past eleven o'clock on Sunday night he was proceeding along Every-street, when the ?risoner met him, seized him by the tl.roat, and asked him for some money. Prosecutor told him that he had not got any, whereupon the prisoner said he would have his hat, and before the pro secutor could prevent him the prisoner took it, and ran away. The prosecutor cried " Stop thief," and some meX who heard him prevented the prisoner making his escape. Finn, who offered no defence, was remanded.--.llfanchester Guardian. _. r ~ ~'`_ ~~1 I't.~ ~d.-.. I
