(Front the Norfolk News.) • SlR, —Permit one of the most distant—but, neverthe less, one of the most constant—of your readers to ad- dress, through your journal, a few words to his fellow countrymen about what is going on in this place.- If any apology be needed for occupying their attention with the affairs of a town not bigger than Yarmouth, and a thousand miles off, I would allege the social, literary, political, and religious importance of Geneva. Morally, as well as physically, it is a city set upon a hill. It stands, indeed, much higher in the former than in the latter sense ; for its site is but a hillock, especially in the presence of the Jura and Mont Blanc ; whilst its influence, as one of the chief centres of European civil isation, is, perhaps, greater than that of any other city of its size. Early, vigilant, and successful in its efforts to ignite the lamp of liberty during the dark ages of feu dalism, eager to welcome and hold forth the glorious Word of Life at the era of the Reformation, bearing for n, long period with dignity the well-earned title of " The Protestant Rome," it still maintains, though somewhat fallen, a position not altogether unworthy of its ancient fame. Be not, however, alarmed. lam not going to write a treatise upon Geneva, either madimval or modern. My intention is only to say something about the election which has just taken place here, and an account of which I think will be interesting to your readers, for two reasons ; first, because but little is known in England about Swiss institutions, notwithstanding the swarms of English tourists who visit Swiss scenery, for they see and _describe only the mountains, not the men nor the manners of the country ; and, secondly, because Geneva has for some years enjoyed, what we Britons are seeking to obtain, a perfect representation of the people in the Legislature. A brief preface will explain the situation of affairs. Everybody knows that Geneva is one of the chief can tons of the Swiss Confederation. But although each state of the little republic is itself Republican in theory, only a small number of the cantons are actually such in practice. Geneva, up to the year 1846, was as aristo cratic a city as could well be found. In that year an absolute democracy was established, the result not of a reform bill, but of a revolution. A quarrel had arisen between the oligarchy who occupied the top, and the populace who dwelt in the bottom of the town : words led to blows : a battle ensued, which left the people mas ters of the field. Mr. James Fazy, the leader of the Re volutionist or " Radical" party—a man of great ambi tion, as his opponents assert ; of great talent, as all parties admit—became the presiding genius of the new institutions, which he first moulded, and then adminis tered until November last—a period of seven years — notwithstanding the reiterated attempts of the Conserva tives to drive him from power. Under the new consti tution they have had frequent opportunities of trying their strength ; for as the two component parts of the Government—the "Great Council," or House of Com mons ; and the " State Council," or Cabinet of Seven— are each chosen biennially, and on alternate years, there is an annual appeal to the constituency, on the result of which the fate of the Government depends. This con stituenoy is as wide and as free as possible, for the suffrage is universal, and the voter is protected by the ballot. Under these circumstances, as might have been expected, the many remained for some time faithful to the chief, whom they regarded as the author of their enfranchisement, and who, doubtless, calculated on a lengthened, if not a permanent ascendancy. But lately the political sky of Geneva has undergone a change. An important section of the " Radicals ' became dis satisfied with their leader. Some were disappointed with the man, some with his measures. It was dis covered that the idol of 1846 was, after all, but human. He was denounced as an autocrat, as a bad financier, as a peculator, as, in short, everything which a Republican ruler ought not to be. Whether these accusations were true or false, I do not pretend to decide, being, at least for the present, an historian only, not a critic. But it is certain that they were made not merely by the Conser vatives, who might be supposed to have invented them, but by many of their opponents, who can hardly have been otherwise than sincere. Thus the two parties be came three by the splitting of the Radicals into the friends and enemies of the Fazy Government ; and the Conservatives, seeing their antagonists divided, con ceived new hopes of dethroning at all events the revolu tionist dictator, if not of seating themselves in his place. Such was the situation—a situation not unknown in England, nor even in a certain good old city which shall be nameless—when I arrived in Geneva. I found a state of things wonderfully like that which I had seen at home on the approach of an election—party spirit very strong ; Conservatives, who were called Aristocrats ; Radicals, who were called Revolutionists ; and Demo crats, who were called Socialists and Red Republicans— three journals, each ascribing every possible excellence to its own section, and every possible demerit to the others ; citizens influenced some by hope, more by fear, more still by indifference, attacks, defences, accusations, recriminations, insinuations, rumours, intrigues, hand bills, squibs in poetry and prose—in short, all the powder and shot to which we are accustomed in political warfare. It was to be sure rather alarming to hear all this going on in French ; but, after awhile, I got accustomed to H— and the more readily as I was able to detect, amidst the hubbub, a great deal of that same good sense and pa triotic feeling which form the ballast of English society, and which have so often saved us in stormy periods, when strangers, who could only perceive the swelling waves and the roaring wind, have been amazed that we escaped shipwreck. But if the situation was substan tially familiar to me, in one respect it was new. The coming contest was to be decided by universal suffrage and vote by ballot. This circumstance led me to watch the proceedings with curiosity, and to suppose that your readers might feel an interest in reading an account of them. The 14th of November last was the decisive day. On that day the Canton of Geneva was to choose the " State Council" of seven, to whom the Executive Go vernment of the Republic is confided for two years. The constituency is about equally divided into the inha tants of the town and the population of the adjoining country. The former of course, tradesmen, are for the most part Protestants ; the latter, tillers of the soil, are for the most part Roman Catholics ; and at this moment religious rivalry enters largely into the questions which disturb the State.. As with us, the canton is subdivided into districts, in each of which lists of the voters were made out, printed, and publicly exhibited, for a few days prior to the election. As with us, two meetings were held of the different parties ; but, until the eve of the great day, no certain information of the opposition tac tics was allowed to transpire. The Fazy, or " Radical" party, offered as their candidates, with one exception, the members of the existing Government ; on the other side, at the last moment, appeared a list of names which it was understood would receive the united support of the Democratic seceders and of the Aristocratic Con servatives. In other words, a " coalition," a word well known amongst us in England was declared. The Ra dicals cried " treason ! treason !" The coalition, how ever, stood compact and resolute. The town, usually so sedate, became greatly agitated. But even the uproar of Geneva was sober when com pared to the turmoil of a Norwich election. I was, therefore, able to anticipate the 14th without much alarm, although some good Conservative croakers of my acquaintance foretold riot at least, and bloodshed, if not civil war. For a moment, indeed, I was startled, when, on the morning of the eventful day, I heard the loud rattle of a drum beneath my window. I was reassured, however, when, on looking out, I saw but half a dozen children listening very quietly to the town crier, who was proclaiming the coming election, and who, as is usual here, preludes all his announcements with a rat tat-too. Taking courage, I entered the city (my resi dence is in the suburbs), and saw at once that my friends aforesaid were indeed but croakers, and that there was nothing to fear. Though a public holiday had been de clared, Geneva wore very much its accustomed appear ance. Ladies were shopping, coaches and cabs were plying for hire, hucksters were selling their small wares, and little boys were going to school or playing in the streets. The only peculiarity was a greater number of pedestrians than usual, the majority of whom were mov ing towards the top of the town, which is at once the Capitol and the Vatican of Protestant Rome, for here stand the Hotel de Ville, or Government palace, and the cathedral of St. Peter, in which the elections are held. I approached the scene of action with a caution, which was due solely to the solemn warnings I had received, but which was finally dismissed, as I entered the little square in front of the cathedral. On this spot, the Forum of Geneva, a place not bigger than our Orford Hill, stood about three hundred persons of all classes, not so crowded but that one might circu late freely among them, and a large number of whom had their hands in their pockets, that sure sign of pacific intentions. They were discussing earnestly, but with perfect courtesy and good temper, the pros pects of the election, which I learned were exceed ingly doubtful, for the parties were supposed to be very nearly balanced. Under the guidance of two friendly citizens, I entered the cathedral, a Gothic building with an Italian portico—like an ancient lady wearing a flaxen wig.

All the church furniture had been re moved, the nave boarded in, and the aisles reserved as passages, the one of entrance, and the other of exit. On the raised floor, at the east end, sat the Electoral Com mittee appointed by the Government to superintend the proceedings. Around the upper part of the nave were arranged a sort of hustings, where were a number of pigeon-holes, like the delivering boxes of our P ost-offices, each marked with a different letter of the alphabet. In each box sat an official, whose business it w as to deliver tickets or " bulletins" to the voters, the initial letter ter of de whose names corresponded to that marked. oli.; partment.

HYAM, Tailor, Clothier, and General Outfitter, 36, Gracechurch street, City. OUR' NAVY. We cannot better employ the brief interval which may only too probably elapse before we find our selves confronted with the dangers and emergencies of war than in considering the means which we pos sess for carrying it on, and forestalling resolutions and deliberations which can ill be dealt with in the hurry and excitement of action. We believe we are possessed of a fleet sufficiently numerous for any service that can be required of it, and provided with all the aids and appliances which the existing state of mechanical science can devise. We doubt not that we have able and experienced commanders capable of maintaining the ancient naval renown of the country, and that, if the Admiralty are careful to avoid the selection of men enfeebled by age or disqualified by infirmities of temper, we possess officers capable of carrying out the orders of a bold and enterprising chief. The only point on whieh anxiety need be felt is, unfortunately, the most ma terial of all—the manning of the fleet—the obtain ing in a short time those strong hands and gallant hearts without which commanding officers are but useless pensioners, and ships mere costly encum brances. The present enormous increase of our trade and shipping, the high rate of wages which the mer cantile marine is willing and able to pay, the immense demand existing all over the world for the services of British seamen, clearly show that the Goverment has no little difficulty to encounter if itmeanstocommence the impending war with a spirit and energy worthy of the pretensions of our enemy and our own repu tation. This is no new difficulty. At the com mencement of the last great European war Lord Howe found himself so indifferently supplied with seamen that he did not venture to engage till a year's practice had trained his crews to discipline and order, and Lord Hood was so ill satisfied with the crews with which he put to sea that he left behind him a written protest, on his embarcation, against being held responsible for the success of a force so imperfectly organised. Yet the English Government had then a resource which it does not possess now. Instead of competing in the open market with the merchant service, Government could then recruit the crews of its ships through the barbarous instrumentality of the pressgang. To the disgrace of our age and our civilisation, the right of impressment still exists, but woe to the Government that shall rely on such an aid, and to the country, if it trusts to such means for defending its shores. The law of impressment is as com pletely obsolete as if it had been expunged from our code, and we are anxious this matter should be clearly and distinctly understood, in order that an emergency, which can b e me t b y no o th e r means, may not arise and te m pt us t o an ou t ra ge in the perpetration of which we should most assuredly and deservedly fail. But, even if impressment were open to us, the conditions of modern naval warfare no longer admit of such a method of re cruiting. We. cannot go into war as of old ;to train and discipline our crews we must have them ready formed to our hand in full efficiency. The General who is intrusted with an army incompetent for field operations may scatter it in fortresses, may protect its weakness and inexpe rience by fortified camp 4; and t rain it by skirmishes and out-post duty to await the attack and endure the presence of an enemy. B a d roa d s an d indiffe rent communications may excuse his tardiness in coming into action, and th e a b sence o f any fi xe d cr it er ion of speed will account for the most dilatory movements. In a fleet propelled by sails, adverse winds and currents, the caprice of the elements, and a thousand other contingencies, may give time for the exercise of inexperienced seamen an d th e establishment of a discipline essential to conquest. But with a fleet propelled by steam such excuses are inadmissible. It will be the duty of the Ad miral to seek at once the enemy wherever he can find him, and to put all t o th e i ssue o f s kill an d valour. There is no room for delay or drilling. The winds and waves are subjected to a more powerful agent, and delay m ust b e attr ib u t e d t o weakness or inexper ience. These considerations show that it is more than ever necessary for our fleets to put to sea, at the commencement of a war, in a condition fully prepared for battle. We can not afford, as of yore, to spend precious time in training raw recruits ; we Ought, before war breaks out, to have in the fleet we intend to employ an instrument ready and perfected to our hand. With the first spring our flag Should appear in the Baltic ready to encounter and crush all that the rage and despair of a great empire can bring against us. Those whom we i n t en d t o em pl o y for offensive operations in . the sp r i ng oug ht t o be already afloat, and familiarised with their officers, their ships and their duty. With men accustomed to act together, thoroughly practised at their guns, and feeling that confiden ce w hich experience only can give in their officers and the ir comman d er, we have no fear in attemp tin g any enterprise that human skill and valour can overcome ; but there is no time to be lost. During the last y ear we have i found some difficulty n enlisting five thousand seamen ; for the present req u irements of the coun try eight thousand more are wanted. We trust that not a moment will be wasted in raising this necessary force, by whatever means may be re quired for the purpose. itf the p resen t ra t e o f wages be not found sufficient, by all means let a bounty be given to induce .enlistment. The Go vernment comes into the field as a competitor with the merchant service, and must, if it means to succeed in the competition, offer more favourable terms. A seaman e mbarked no w , an d ma d e thoroughly effective before the commencement of hostilities, is infinitely more valuable than a sea man enlisted a few months hence, .and requiring to be taught at the moment when he is wanted to act. We ought, by all means, to guard against a con juncture of circumstances Which may force us either to have recourse to the dangerous and despe rate expedient of impressment, or to engaging the enemy with ships undermaamed, and crews not sufficiently exercised. That the war may be short we must be strong, and that we may b e s t rong we must be fully and amply prepared. There can be no worse economy than to husband our strength in such a confli c t, and dole it out by driblets. If we must strik e , le i it be as those whose first blow leaves little room fo.r two, and whos vappearance is a terror to the enen2Y, not merely fro m anc i en t renown or modern seal.ilan .but from the con viction that in that blow is concentrated the might of a natio n consc i ou s of he !axe, and determined to put it forth te the utmoD, [PRiaz SD• which the clerk inscribed for him, if he wished i t ' the names of his favourite candidate, or he was free to write them on it himself, if he preferred to vote in secret. He had, then, nothing to do but to walk up to the urn and quietly drup in his " bulletin," just as we put letters into the Post-office. This operation went on steadily, and in tolerably equal time. No crowding, no shouting, no passion, nor confusion disturbed the scene. The heart of the Republic beat strongly, indeed, like that of a man excited, yet in health ; but not with the dangerous rapidity of fever or of frenzy. Not one drunken man was to be seen, and this, be it remembered, in a country where every man drinks wine, and where almost every man has, every day, wine to drink. Thus quietly, in a few hours' time, in less than a short winter's day, were given nearly ten thousand votes, and many more could have been given if required. But all was over before the proceedings officially closed, and the in flux of "bulletins," which had gradually grown less and less, had ceased when the President of the Superintend. ing Committee declared the election to be at an end. And what was the result, you ask. Wait a bit. The election is over, but the result lies hid in those two urns, which have not been touched as yet, and will not give up their contents until to-morrow, for the investigation is too long and too serious a work to be done to-night. I Until to-morrow, then, we must wait, and, in the mean while, what is to be done with the urns t Turn out the people, and lock up the church, you reply. They man age things very differently in Geneva. The urns are deemed too sacred a deposit to be left under the ordinary custody of bolts and bars. After dismissing the people, therefore, the doors were locked from within ; lamps were lighted ; and the electoral committee, in company, I presume, with the scarlet mutes aforesaid, remained to keep watch over the ark of the Constitution all night long. What took place during the solemn hours, history does not tell; but on the morrow, in all honour, in the presence of the citizens, and in the light of day, the scrutiny was made. It was late in this afternoon before it was completed, about as much time having been occu pied in examining as in giving the votes. At length, the President, who seemed as fresh as if he hid slept the previous night in his bed, declared that * * * the opposition had won by a narrow majority. Up to the last moment the crowd had remained in suspense ; breathless silence prevailed while the speaker declared the number of votes for each candidate, but he was obliged to stop fora brief interval between the announce ment of each name, to allow time for a cheer short and sharp, which suddenly arose and as quickly died away. These were the first cheers which I had heard. They were not, however, the lasts; for the crowd adjourned to the Hotel de Ville, where soon after a proclamation of the new government was made, with an accompaniment of drums and trumpets. This ceremony was repeated in various parts of the town, amidst the loud acclama tions of the people. The multitude then dispersed, but not all. A considerable minority, the friends of Mr. James Fazy, the defeated leader, mustered in procession and paid that gentleman a visit of condolence by torch light. He replied to their address in a speech remark. able, it is said, for talent and moderation, which I re gret that I did not hear. This was the last incident of the crisis. The election was over ; the old government, after a reign of seven years, was dethroned ; and the new government reigned in its place. The good city re sumed its usual quiet, which has not been since inter rupted for a single moment. Such were the facts of the election, as they presented themselves to the eye of a stranger. Even on the most superficial view they warrant, as I think, some infer ences not unworthy the attention of the British public now engaged in the perplexing task of contriving a fran chise so limited as to include all who are supposed to be fit, and to exclude all who are deemed, unfit, to be electors. In the first place, they warrant the inference, that, even amongst a population recently enfranchised, uni versal suffrage, and vote by ballot lead to a more or derly and peaceable conduct of elections than is common in England under the system of restricted voting. Secondly. They lead to the inference, that universal suffrage and vote by ballot tend to give a true expres sion of public opinion, by protecting the voter from in timidation and bribery. The testimony of the Genevese, of all classes and parties, is in favour of this inference. I do not say that there is no bribery and no intimida tion, because eager partisans are frequently found who accuse their opponents of both practices in certain cases. while they strenuously deny that their own party is guilty of them ; but all agree, that the elections in general, and the lasti n particular, cannot have been appreciably influenced by such means. This inference is also established, in the opinion of an impartial obser ver, by the simple fact that the Conservatives, who pos sess, by very far, the largest portion of the wealth and influence in the canton, have never been able, since the revolution, to carry an election in favour of their own party. Thirdly. They lead irresistibly to the inference that universal suffrage and vote by ballot do not favour the choice of ignorant, incompetent, or rapacious legislators. The candidates chosen, on this occasion, are every one of them men belonging to the democratic party, and yet they receive the hearty and unanimous support of the Conservatives, who express themselves perfectly content with the choice they have made. Whatever may be the merits or the morality of the coalition which has taken place, it is, at least, plain as the sun at noonday, that nothing bearing the remotest resemblance to spoliation would be tolerated for a moment by the broad constitu ency of Geneva. A decided Conservative assured me that the canton had never been so excited, and, at the same time, never so orderly, as on this occasion, and that the result was one likely to be both honourable and useful to the Republic. He added, that he now had hopes which he had not before ventured to entertain of the working of the new institutions. I will only add, that it was my good fortune to witness the election in company with an intelligent young Ame rican, who asserted that these inferences were quite as fairly deducible from the experience of our transatlantic cousins. You have thus evidence of the practical results of universal suffrage and the ballot, when tried both in the largest and the least Republic in the world.—l am, Sir, yours, &c., A NORWICH-MAN IN GENEVA. Geneva, 26th Dec., 1853. THE CRYSTAL PALACE. The great snow storm which has prevailed with more or less intensity during the last fortnight has tested to an unusual degree the capabilities and strength of the Crystal Palace. No less than 15 acres of glass roofing were subjected to the enormous weight of the snow which has recently fallen, and it has stood the strain without the slightest injury. A considerable quantity of snow and rain found its way into the interior, and portions of the flooring and plaster casts ranged near the garden front have been covered with a thick coating of snow. The principal sufferers by the inclemency of the weather are the plants and the exotics which have been arranged in large beds at the southern end of the build ing, and the bitter frost, on one occasion some five or six degrees below zero, and the cutting east wind, have seriously affected the health and appearance of many of the more delicate plants. The influence of the inclement weather tells at Syden ham upon more than the plants. The works are neces sarily suspended, and over palace and park a dreary silence reigns, which is augmented by the snow wrapping every external object. A huge mass of scaffolding still fills up the entire area of the centre transept, and although a large proportion of the ribs are now up, and the glazing at the west end commenced, soma time will yet elapse before this, the most striking architectural feature of the building, can be completed. The internal decorations, less affected in their progress by the weather proceed apace. Egypt, Greece, and Rome are now so far advanced as to speak for themselves, and the deco rator is concentrating his chief energies upon the resto ration of the Alhambra. Upon the opposite side of the nave Mr. Wyatt is also vigorously at work. The decoration of the Pompeian House is nearly com pleted, and Dr. Ferguson is making rapid progress with his Assyrian Court, which promises to be not the least successful or splendid part of the palace. Both he and Mr. Jones may congratulate themselves upon a new ar rangement, the result of a compromise on a disputed point, which may be worth mentioning. It was origi nally proposed by the latter, as one of.the earliest idea a s t for securing great effects within the building, figure place the north end of the nave th e colossal seat.eadtorof the of the god Rh, with the head o f which every v wi h i ich is 70 British Museum is fam iliar. This figure, feet high, and painted in the strikingcoauarisdwhhaivcahcgoinive. e so peculiar character to Egyptian art, pletely extinguished t he fine winged rid vio human-headed bulls with which Dr. Ferguson guards the main entrance • of his Assyrian hall. What, however, was . to be done ? A solid pile of masonry more than 30 feet high had been constructed as the seat of the deity ; and Mr. Jones, having made up his mind to have him there, was not to be driven from his purpose. The west end of the north transept was, however, offered, and the privilege of erecting there two gods instead of one, with a double row of sphinxes leading up to them, provided the site at the end of the nave was given up. This was too great a temptation to refuse, and, accordingly, when in June or July (for it is now ascertained that it cannot be earlier) the doors of the Crystal Palace are thrown open to the public, next to the building, and the fountains, and s urpassing in size even Mr. Waterhouse Hawkins's primaeval monsters, the largest objects, and those most likely to fill the minds and eyes of the Londoners with astonishment, will be these two wonderful representa tions of the scale upon which the the sculptors of ancient Egypt wrought out of the rock the objects of their Pagan idolatry. BRICKMAKING AT LIVERPOOL. —The fortnightly meet ing of the Liverpool Architectural and Archaeological Sooiety was held on Wednesday. The first matter of discussion was a letter on brickmaking, received by Mr. Verelst, the chairman of the society, from Mr. C. B. Yarrow, a gentleman of London. Mr. Yarrow draws a very unfavourable comparison between brickmaking in Liverpool and London, the bricks made in the former place being, he says, the worst he ever saw, while those of London are of a superior character, owing to the better class of workmen emp l oyed , and the mode of management generally. —Liverpool paper. _73p --ft, 0 . 11 all DZAZ. GENERAL BCOUIVT BERESFORD, 1 G. 0.8., G.O.H. This most gallant veteran officer died on Sunday, at his seat, Bedgebury Park, Goudhuret, Kent, in his 86th year. The deceased was created Duke of Elves, Marquis of Campo-Major, Count of Trancoso, and a Field Marshal of Portugal, and Captain General of Spain ; Baron Beres ford (United Kingdom), 1814 • Viscount Beresford, 1823 ; was Govern or o f the Royal Military Academy, a Commissioner of the Military College and Asylum, a General in the Army, Colonel of the 60th Foot, and Governor of Jersey ; was Master General of the Ord nance under the Duke of Wellington's administration from 1828 to 1830. Viscount Beresford eminently dis tinguished himself in the Peninsular war, and com manded at the sanguinary battle of Albuera ; he was also highly successful in improving the discipline of the Portuguese army. William Carr Beresfoad, who was a natural son of the first Marquis of Waterford, commenced his distinguished military career in 1785, when he was appointed an En sign of the 6th Foot. His first active service was i n 1793, when, as captain of the 69th, he disembarked with the troops that took possession of Toulon, and was generally engaged in the attacks which took place until the final evacuation of that place, when he went to Corsica, and was present at the attack and siege of St. Fiorenza, Bastia, and Calvi. In 1799, when lieutenant colonel of the 88th, he sailed for the East Indies, and from thence by the Red Sea to Egypt, across the Desert, in command of a brigade of Sir David Baird's army. He remained in Egypt till its evacuation, as com mandant of Alexandria. After some energetic services againat the Irish rebels, Colonel Beresford, in 1805, proceeded to the Cape, and shared in the conquest of that colony. From thence he was sent in cor n . mand of a small force to seize Buenos Ayres. Thi s was accomplished ; but after success in the open field against the enemy, he was eventually obliged to surrender, after three days' desperate and destructive resistance in the towns. The force under Colonel Beres foad amounted to 1,200, that of the enemy to between 10,000 and 12,000. After being prisoner for six months he escaped to England, where he had but a short time arrived (this was in 1807), when he was appointed colonel of the 88th or Connaught Rangers, and was shortly afterwards sent in command of an expedition against Madeira. From Madeira he went to the Peniasula, where he arrived a few days after the battle of Vimiera, and returned after that of Corunna. In 1809 he again proceeded to Portugal, to take the chief command of the Portuguese troops with the rank of marshal. From that time Marshal Beresford's achievements are part of the history of the period, thd greatest of them being his vic tory over Soult at Albuera—one of the most bloody and most glorious of the names inscribed on the list of Penin sular successes, For these services Marshal Beresford subsequently received the dignities of the Duke of Elvas, Marquis of Campo Major, and Count Trancoso, in Por tugal, that of Viscount Beresford in his own country, and several decorations. By the demise of this vener able and gallant soldier the colonelcy of the 16th Regi ment and the colonelcy in chief of the 60th Rifles are rendered vacant. 1 THE MURDER AT ACTON. ADJOURNED INQUEST. Mr. Wakley, the coroner for the western division of Middlesex, resumed yesterday, at the Goldsmiths' Arms, East Acton, touching the death of Richard Medhurst, a lad, aged 14 years, whose body was found lying naked at the bottom of a deep ditch on the 24th of December, in a lane leading from East Acton to Friar's-place, under circumstances which leave little doubt that a murder of the foulest character has been committed. The interest attached to the case seems to increase, and since the last sitting of the jury Government has offered a reward of 1001. to any person giving such in formation as shall lead to the conviction of the perpe trators of the murder, and Mr. Inspector Thornton, with Sergeant Williams, of the detective police, Scotland yard, in conjunction with Sergeant Earthy, of the T division, have been assiduously prosecuting the inquiry in their own peculiar way. Since the last day Dr. Glover, 21, Great Coram4treet, had made an analysis of the stomach and intestines, and that examination having been completed, the evidence pertaining to it was the principal feature in the day's proceedings. Dr. Robert Mortimer Glover, lecturer on chemistry at the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's-inn-road, said that he examined the stomach first, and found it very much congested ; it was empty, with the exception of a little bloody mucus. He also found abundant proof of the the undoubted presence of inflammation, but could not find the slightest trace of either arsenic or any other poisonous substance. There were found some spots of effusion between the cuticle or skin and the membrane below. Coroner—From the external and internal appearance of the body, are you of opiniiin that he died of cold and starvation or poison ? Dr. Glover—The same appearances might have been produced by poison. I examined the stomach, the in testines, and indeed all the organs, most particularly for poison, but I was unable to find any ; looking at the body internally and externally, I am more inclined to think that the boy died of disease produced by cold and starvation, which death was greatly accelerated by the external violence which was visible. Mr. Francis, the surgeon, then corrected a point in his evidence upon the last occasion, which was purely of a medical nature, when The Coroner asked if that was all the evidenoe, and having received an answer in the affirmative, the room was cleared of strangers, is order to give the jury an opportunity to consider their verdict. After some time spent in consultation, the door was opened. The Coroner said that the jury had come to the deter mination to postpone the proceedings for some time, for the purpose of seeing whether the accused party should not be brought before them, and he would at once him self see Lord Palmerston upon that subject. The jury and witnesses were then formally bound over for further appearance, and the proceedings terminated. THE PRESTON STRIKE. PRESTON, MONDAY.—It being understood that Mr. Hollins was to open his mill this morning at the prices paid on the Ist of March last (before any advance took place), the weavers' committee issued a placard, headed "Caution," and containing the following : " It is the intention of Mr. Hollins, of the Royal Sove• reign Mill to open his establishment this morning, Jan. 9, we therefore beg to caution all parties to be aware that a deputation has visited Mr. Hollins on two occa sions last week, when two propositions were laid before- him. The first was, would he pay the same prices as Messrs. Napier and Goodair, when he (Mr. Hollins) said he could not afford to pay them. The second was would he pay the prices that lie paid when his mill was "losed. He again replied that the trade would not allow him to do so. Von, the weaver of Preston, will there fore see that if you apply for work at the Royal Sove reign Mills, it will be at the sacrifice of the very object you are struggling for—the 10 per cent. and the union.' The bell was rung, and the factory opened this morn ing ; but, so far as I have been able to ascertain, not a single hand applied for work. This fact may be taken as evidence of the firmness and determination still exist ing amongst the unemployed. • There was a large meeting in the Orchard at noon to day. The chairman was Mr. Chadwick, of Stockport. In his opening remarks he appealed to the multitude whether they were tired of their present position. The response was a loud cry of "No ;" some one in the crowd exclaiming, " We should be more tired if we had to get up at six o'clock." (Laughter and cheers.) . Mr. Grimshaw read from the Boston Daily Common wealth, an article entitled " The " White Slaves of Eng- land ; a sympathetic appeal to the friends of liberty and human rights ;" in which the Preston struggle was dis cussed, and a suggestion thrown out that the people of Boston should raise a subscription to send a cargo of provisions to the famishing operatives of this town. The meeting having pledged itself to persevere in the struggle, the proceedings closed with cheers for success. SUSPECTED HOCUSSING AND MURDER.—For some days t un h sn e ed As c a e p n i ap e r ne a o : f wa n u h c n o e u ho s a u f d a a I nt e ar x g past the neighbourhood of Brookes'-market, Leather lane,mor owing ss i ei n g dr ntoaintheedh e m a m s y a s b : ry e e r n i A o someeeidteffemale me t i n ' a m lt e d in the locality, where she was well known by her eccentric habits and manner. The alarm w as in no act that small degree in crease d b y t h e f at atel y several persons, both old and young, have suddenly and myste riously disappeared from their houses, being in many in stances forcibly abducted. The fate of the unfortunate woman remained a mystery until last Friday evening, when, as a party who knew her by sight was passing through Greville-street, Hatton-garden, his attention was attracted by a crowd, and upon going to the spot he recognised the missing woman leaning against the area railings, partlyunconscious, with a dreadful wound across her forehead, and the blood being dry around the wound, showed that it was inflicted several days previously. With the least possible delay the poor creature was as sisted home and taken to her room, where she was left by herself, the parties in the house not apprehending danger, and as the deceased had an objection to any one entering her apartment. As she did not make her ap pearance during Saturday the landlord became alarmed, and yesterday morning sent for the police, who, on enter ing her room, found her lying dressed and quite insensible upon the floor. Medical assistance was called in, but she gradually sank, and died shortly after the surgeon's arri val. On examining the wound across the frontal bone, it appeared to have been produced by a blunt instrument.
