Now if it were to be left t'., ;*.oi.ooer himself, he entertained not the slightest idea h .has ss reashts take pension fur two lives tu. • ,; .•i. 1. ws but rtglit tear rt. , who had seen the iungee. see ~ee so ; nave the greatest advantage. Sir Henry Hardinge, than whom there was no greater friend to the sol dier, had expressed his desire that there should be no change from ten years to twenty years. The rule which had been es tablished in the army was, that in the event of a man being bought off after his enlistment, 301. was to be paid for a man in the cavalry, and 201. in the infantry. After seven years service the rate was reduced to 251. for the one service, and 151. for the other; and after ten years' service it was still fur ther reduced to 201. for a man in the cavalry, and 101. for one in the infantry ; and so went on to be re duced according as the term of service increased. Those officers examined before the Committee a great part of the army was mad e up of very bad materia s l ai s— d in fact, the dregs of society, who could find no other employment. Enlistment for &limited period, and the abolition of flogging, would, it was th ught, induce a better class of men to enlist. Unlimited enlistment, or f•r life was, as Mr. Fox and Mr. Wilberforce remarked, unsuitable to the genius of the British Constitution. When Sir R. Peel brought forward his Budget, and spoke of the forty-five colonies to which they had to be sent, and mentioned the increase of duty upon the soldiery, he should likewise have expressed the resolution of the Government to improve the state of the army. Such a reform would serve the country as much as any thing that could be undertaken. Then, with regard to the expense, let them consider the enormous expense which was incurred in arresting deserters. That would make an immense difference in the army estimates. He had consulted many officers on the subject, and they all said that he was perfectly right, but that they did not think he would get it. Hs, however, was certain that, eventually, that which he asked for must be granted. In support of his argu ment, he would quote the authority of Dr. Jack-on, and a medi cal authority on such a subject was entitled tuns the highest consideration—(Hear, hear) —for it was ver sally admitted that the medical officers of the army had paid more attention to the moral and physical oundition of the men than any other officers. The Hon. an 1 Gallant Offi cer here read an extract from the work of Dr. Jackson, in which that gentleman gave it as his opinion that limited service in the army tended to promote habits of mora lity and good citizenship among the men, whilst unlimited ser vice produced habits of immorality, and tended to separate the men from their fellow-subjects. He entreated Hon. Gentle men to consider how they voted on this subject. They could not shield,themselves behind the argument that they knew no thing of military matters. No knowledge of military matters was necessary for the decision of this question—all that was re • quired was a knowledge of what was right and what was just. Let them constder well before they destroyed the hopes of men who had maintained the honour of the British flag in every quarter of the globe. Let them consider the enor mous amount of desertions, 7,337 ; the enormous number of cor poreal punishments, 3,3.55. The enormous number of army criminals, in three years, 28,190. These things ought to be considered. He would wish to refer the House to the opinion of a gentleman, who was once in that House, but who was re moved to a higher situation, which he thought no gentleman in the House would be bold enough to gainsay. He meant Sir Henry Hardinge, who stated that he must confess that a shorter period of service might be advantageously introduced. He (Captain Layard) did not know who would support him, but he thought that the whole House should support him. He was of opinion that the Government could net refuse to take this matter under their consideration, as Sir Henry Hardinge stated that it was well worthy of their attention. The Hon. and Gallant Gentleman concluded by moving the Address. Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT said that he would not occupy the House at any very great length while he stated his reasons why he could not accede to the motion of the Gallant Officer. He would endeavour to state very shortly and simply the grounds on which the opinions both for and against this motion were founded, and he would leave the House to judge for them selves whether or not sufficient grounds had been shown for taking any steps in the alteration of a system which had been established for several years with success. It was an argument very frequently used, that the system of enlistment for very short periods obtained in foreign countries with great advan tage. The Gallant Officer stated that enlistment for life was contrary to the genius of the Constitution. In foreign coun tries, Where there was a very short period of service required, enlistment was compulsory, not voluntary, as hi this country. When Lord Castlereagh introduced his measure for the regu lation of the period of military service, it was provided that every man entering the army should enlist for a period not less than five years, and not exceeding seven years, and the bounties which were paid to every individual so enlisting amounted to from 21. to 21. 121., thus making a difference of 12s. in the bounty money. Up to the year 1829 that system had been continued, tint it had subsequently been modified in va rious ways, as it was found to interfere very materially with the efficient working of the service. The modifications, however, which had been made were not found sufficient, and still further alterations had taken place. At present men were enlisted for not less than fifteen years, after which period they might be discharged gratuitously, but they had it also in their option to serve for a further period of seven years, and of thirteen years, thereby securing a pension varying according to the length of service, for the remainder of their lives. The Right Hon. Gentleman then adverted, but it was in so low a tone of voice that it was next to an impossibility to catch a word in the gal lery, to the military statistics of her Majesty's colonies in the years 1825 to 1828, and contrasted them with the last five years, for the purpose of showing that desertion had decreased one-half, and that otherwise the moral standing of the British army was greatly elevated. He concluded by eulogising the present condition of the troops, and assured the House that nothing would be wanting on the part of the Government to maintain the ser vice in that efficient condition. Mr. HUME said that the motion of his Hon. and Gallant Friend was of a more important character than a great part of the House seemed to be aware of, and he was of opinion that the speech of the Right Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down proved that the British army was in a most unsatisfac tory state; and if the returns which he (Mr. Hume) had ordered many weeks ago, and which had been in the possession of the Government for the last nine months, had been laid before the House, he could have clearly shown to the House that things were not in the very good condition described by the Right Hon. Gentleman. If he would look back to the past terms of service, he was confi dent that the Hon. Gentleman would blame himself for not having answered this return. A great portion of the punish ments, as was evident from the returns, had been occasioned by foreign service. He only regretted that those re turns were not made more perfect. The Hon. Gentleman opposite had fixed 15 years, but he thought that if 10 years were allowed for the period of service, and not fifteen years, as was devised by Sir IL Hardinge, the man who was discharged from the army would be fit for social service. When he looked at the returns in his hand, he was convinced that there was no army in the world which suffered such severe punishments. In several instances he saw very long im prisonments, and he was anxious to point out the serious loss which the public service endured in consequence of this se verity. This practice had evidently an injurious effect, and he thought, therefore, if the period of service was shortened, it would be of essential service. He was quite sure that if the farmer's sons were sure of obtaining their discharge after a service of seven years, it would tend to increase the numbers of those who came into the service of the army from the middle ranks. Look at the case of habitual drunkards, and all those offences which tended to lower the character of the soldier. He was quite ready to admit that their clothing was properly taken care of, but still he thought that this was a system which ought to be improved. It was no party question, but one in which they were all concerned, and he trusted that there would be no demur, but that the Government would at once grant the in quiry. Certainly no evil could possibly arise from it, and there must be an advantage if it were only to settle the feel ings of those whom it concerned. Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS said, that it clearly appeared that the man who wanted to enlist, was just as likely to enlist for the long period as the short one. He found by the returns that when the service was limited the desertions were as nu merous as when the reverse prevailed. But there was a bonus given previously for them to leave the service. By the war rant of 029, the payments for service had been stated, and he did not think that the measure was at all likely to en sure the efficiency of the army, and no good whatever could possibly arise from the passing of this motion. On the whole, he thought, that no case whatever had been made out, and he trusted that the Government would not be led into a train of conduct which, at the best, could only be mischievous. Mr. WILLIAMS said, that the return of desertions and punishments was a sufficient answer to all the argu ments. He thought that ten years' service was a long period, and he thought that the better plan would be to give seven years' service, and three years further for permission to enter the army. He should certainly give his support to the motion, and only trusted that it might he instrumental in ob taining all the benefit which he desired to effect. Captain LAYARD said, that he thought that the Right Hon. Gentleman, the Secretary at War, had made no reply to his observations. The desertions in Canada had been ex cessive. But what had been done for the army ? He cer tainly had done a great deal for the army, but be did nct un derstand how it was, because so much had been done, that nothing further was to be effected. The great evil was the deprivation of hope. and it was because there was no opportu nity whatever after leaving the army for do'ng anything. The term of fifteen years was therefore manifestly too long. The Hon. Gentleman stated, that he (Captain Layard) had as serted that the suicides in the army hadbeen greatly increased. Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT explained that he did not mean to assert to the extent just stated. Captain LAYARD asserted, on the contrary, that the sui cides had very largely increased, yet he believed that great goad had been done, and would be done. Sir Henry Hardinge gave his sanction to his plans. During several months he had anxiously . considered all the points, and the result had been a conviction that the unlimited term of service was, of all things. most injurious both to the soldier and the service.— (Cries of "Divide, divide.") Strangers were then ordered to Withdraw, when Captain LAYARD said he should relinquish his intention to press the motion to a division, as he saw that the sense of the House was against such a proceeding, and he was always anxious to avoid anything which might tend to occa sion an unnecessary division of feeling. PUBLIC EXECUTIONS. Mr. M. MII.NES begged to call the attention of the House to the evils attendant upon the present mode of conducting public executions in this country. The question he would ask was simply this—was the present procedure one which could be justified on the score of necessity? He denied that it was, and he referred the House to the mode in which executioue were conducted in Pennsylvania, New York, Mary land, Jersey, Ohio, and other states in North America. In all these places the criminal was executed inside the walls of the prison. He was in hopes that this practice would soon be come the law of the land in this country, and he augured favourably that this would soon be the case, when he consi dered the order which hail lately been issued by the Right Hon. the Home Secretary in reference to that subject. The proper authorities, and those only whose presence was absolutely necessary, were now permitted to attend at the solemn scenes preparatory to this awful spectacle, To such an extent was this refined cruelty (if he might call it so) carried, that even so late ae 1766, a poor boy—a mere child was, on some charge of sacrilege, first tortured by four or five executioners, and afterwarde burnt on a slow fire. This occurred in France, and a few years before that, a high family in Portugal for a charge of attempted assassination, were subjected to the severest tor tures. Moreover, if these gladiatorial spectacles were productive of any public benefit it might, to a certain extent, palliate their barbarity. But so far from that being the case, he could prove that they had the very contrary effect. The sheriffs, in times ago. were known to eat, drink, and enjoy themselves or, the scaffold, and the executioners not unfrequently quarrelled among themselves about the rope, and the one who did not get it cried for disappointment. The effect on those who witnessed these exhibitions was equally injurious in a moral point of view. Who, he would ask, were those who were generally present on these occasions ? They were the dissolute and the desperate ; and not unfrequently women—even young women—made up a part of the crowd. In fact, it was regarded as a mere amuse ment, a subject of barbarous diversion. In Catholic countries, public executions assumed more the appearance of a religious ceremony. The prisoner was attended by priests, and all the ripliances of religion , an d he went to death in the s p irit of A ' Woos, j.n r ioule of the German Protestant States, also, t accoinpithei:die criminal to the scaffold, singing hymns.

WHAT IS TO BE THE FUTURE MODE OF GOVERNING NEW ZEALAND. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In the year 1813 two ships were despatched from Greenwich Dockyards to Quebec, loaded with staves to supply water-casks to the British flotilla on the lakes. On the arrival of the vessels in Canada the staves were pronounced to be useless, because the navy floated on water of the purest quality. To an eye-witness and attentive observer of pass ing occurrences in New Zealand, during the last three years, the intelligence of Downing-street and the knowledge of Parliament (as displayed in the late debate) appears little better, if any, than the wisdom which prompted Lord Liverpool's Adminis tration to send out water-casks across the Atlantic for the use of our tars on Lake Superior. The knowledge of a disease is said to be half its remedy. But no hope is there of this country's ar riving at a knowledge of the disease of New Zealand, because nineteen out of twenty of all those who have hitherto spoken out on the subject have either sup pressed the truth or perverted the facts. He that has had moral courage to expose the truth has not been believed, and, therefore, has been silenced, because there has been full nineteen voices to one against him. In• deceiving the public the New Zealand Com pany took the lead, and has kept a-head ;of all com• petitors. Through the means of an all-powerful press the praises of New Zealand were sounded throughout the length and breadth of the land, induc ing a belief, amongst all classes, that the soil and climate of that territory were such as to render it every thing that could be desired by an English emigrant. The climate, I grant, is most favourable to vegeta tion, in sheltered spots, rain falling on at least half the number of days in the year. But the soil is in ge neral much—very much—inferior to the soil of Eng• land. I have seen potatoes planted in fresh broken up soil, which, when ripe, produced a crop no larger than marbles. This was on land situated two miles above Auckland, on the Waitemala, and there are some three hundred acres between the same spot and Auckland, of the like quality of land. In the narrow gullies intersecting this land, every quarter to half a mile, the soil is in the opposite extreme of richness and fertility ; and when cleared and cleaned of fern and other roots, its produce is very large for the first crop, half as large for the second, a quarter for the third, and for the fourth the occupier will be lucky if he get the quantity of his seed again. What, so soon exhausted! Soil whose wild state of natural vegetation astonished the eyes of the be holder ? Even so. No sooner are the fern and other roots (which intersect and bind the soil together, like a rope mat), removed, than the rains and the winds begin and persevere in washing and blowing its fer tility away, and then it becomes poor and " hungry," and crying aloud for manure. The settlers in New Zealand, who one and all wish to sell their lands, and can only hope to do so by " picking up" newly-arrived immigrants, and the New Zealand Company having land orders for sale, will say the facts are not so. But I maintain they are, and my knowledge is derived from close personal observation at and around Auck land. Moreover, a grub is at times most destructive ; for, to my knowledge, the grubs cleared away 13 out of 14 acres of Mr. Joseph Hargreave's wheat, on the Tamaki, in December last, just as the plant was bursting into ear; and had the same crop been but a month later, the locusts, which always devour a second crop, would have assuredly cleared it away in the like manner. I have no interest to bias my judgment ; but being one of the many hundreds misled and deceived by the New Zealand Company's publications, it is a duty I owe to my " neighbours," in the Scriptural sense of the word, to warn them against the mass of error and false prejudice which pervades even Parliament itself, on the subject of New Zealand. I defy any one to understand New Zealand without going and living there for some time himself. The Company should, one and all, be compelled to immigrate and remain there during the rest of their lives, and then would their worst enemies be satisfied with their heavy but righteous punishment. The treaty of Waitangi is most unaccountably as sumed to be still binding on the New Zealand Chiefs on the one side, and on the British Government on the other. As well might it be assumed, that be cause a parish "A" consent to a proposed railroad, all other parishes represented by the rest of the let ters of the alphabet, although they never before heard of such contemplated railroad, are yet bound by the consent of " A." The native chiefs, who entered into the treaty of Waitangi, were a few only of the chiefs whose respective territorial sway extend over less than a half of the northern island, that is, over not one-sixth part of the New Zealand territory. The rest of the chiefs were never asked, and never heard of such treaty being in negociation ! They probably would have heard of the treaty, had it not been suddenly put an end to, cut to shreds, and cast to the wind, by the prompt and decisive proclamation of British sovereignty at Akaroa, on the middle island, six hours before the French (who were crossed and jostled) were about to land, and do the same in favour of their own flag. To assume the validity of the treaty of Waitangi, entered into by a few, as binding on the many, and that, moreover, after the proclama tion of sovereignty at Akaroa, is a puerility unworthy the wisdom of any junior clerk in the Colonial-office. The treaty of Waitangi, resting at best on a basis of sand, was kicked down, before half erected, by the British Government itself. Another fallacy is, the assuming it to be a fact that there are waste, or uncultivated, lands to a large extent in New Zealand, the ownership of which is unknown. The fact is just the reverse. There is not a yard of land, no, nor even a blade of grass, that a native will not come forward to claim, with the sanction and approval of his neighbouring tribes, on its being appropriated by a European. The land may be the subject of dispute between two or more of the natives, but that only makes the case worse for the intruder, since each claimant will demand and enforce payment. A further fallacy is in assuming it pos sible to induce the settlers to organise themselves into a body of militia. The settlers are too good judges of their precarious position ! They have gone out to till the land, not to fight ; and living on their lands, dispersedly throughout a wild country, they could not leave their homes without inviting the plunder of their property by the jealous natives, and probably their own destruction in detail. None but madmen amongst the agricultural settlers would en tertain, for a moment, the idea of organising them- Qelves into a militia. The thing is impracticable, and if practicable, it would be the height of folly. A further fallacy is the belief in a productive customs duty. The settlers are now too poor to pay for custoinable commodities ; and were it otherwise there are abundant able and willing people in New South Wales, who could and would employ the natives to land goods in their large war canoes, and then who durst meddle with the warriors ? I am no admirer of Captain Fitzroy's administra tion, but, considering that he came out chock-full of the wisdom of the Colonial-office, which he stuck to longer and more tenaciously than any other man, probably, would have done in his senses; he has, considering his means, done much more good than harm in New Zealand, and so far from his recal being likely t. be disagreeable, there is reason to be lieve that his recal; within one month after his ar rival in New Zealand, would have been more grate ful to his feelings than a Parliamentary grant of 10,0001., so much had he been deceived on accepting his appointment as to the actual state of the colony. From Lord Stanley's remarkable dispatch to Captain Fitzroy, on the subject of the Wairoa mas sacre, it is clear that Captain Fitzroy's view of that affair agreed in anticipation with his Lordship's opi nions ; and Captain Fitzroy's listening to the bishop, clergy, and missionaries' intercession, when they pro mised to be answerable for Johnny Heki, at the Bay of Islands, was in the same key-note of prescribed con duct to be observed towards the " darling" natives. And yet Captain Fitzroy is now made the " scape goat" of the Colonial-office. Let Captain Gray, or any other Governor, do what he can, New Zealand is lost as a colonial field of emi gration. Its position is its best recommendation, for its other advantages have been far, very far over rated. hitherto the British Government in New Zealand has been entirely based on opinion, and that opinion being now lost, will never be regained, unless a pestilence sweep off nine-tenths of the natives, and so render the remainder controllable. In the mean time, half a million of money, and twice that sum, can be easily spent, without making the colony a desirable field for emigration! A second Algiers it will prove, and the French (who would have carried mat ters in another fa-hion) will point at our government of New Zealand with derision. And now, Sir, for my remedy for the evils of New Zealand. Compensate the settlers for removing to Van Dieman's Land, and withdraw the Govern ment, leaving the British flag as an emblem of ex clusive protection, and noli me tangere, to fly under under the sanction of some chief, who might be in duced, by a fixed gratuity, to protect the resident in charge of the flag. Let no one suppose that I entr tain for a moment an idea of the natives standing against a body of British troops. They will not do so. They will fly, their disposition and feroci▪ t y being no more changed by their flight, than would be the disposition of wolves chaced by bulldog s, wh i▪ ch could never overtake them. Except along the sea shore, and a few inland paths, Now Zealand is all but impracticable to Europeans. The natives would travel four miles through the tea-scrub whilst our soldiers would scramble one. The French were taught that secret when they landed a party of marines on the Chatham Islands, some five years ago to punish the New Zealanders resident there, for massacreing the crew of a French vessel. The New Zealanders walked away and laughed at the French, If troops are to be sent from this country, they should be Rifles ; and On e. be it always remembered, t h e r us t na ti ve blood that 410 will ()win war of colour, in all probability, which will occasion a call for military aid in every direction; a call for aid which, from the nature of the country, cannot be effectively complied with, were even the whole mili tary force in the South Seas placed at the disposal of the Governor of New Zealand.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, and a late resident in New Zealand, ROBERT D'OYLY. London, June 28, 1845. COURT CIRCULAR.

There are hundreds of people who go regularly to the exhibitions once every year, and to the British Museum once in their lives, perhaps even twice, if a bevy of cousins ~hould be imported in a state of verdant rusticity ; but how many myriads are there who have never yet paid a visit to Mr. Browne's magnificent collection of works of art and articles of vertu, in University-street ? It seems as if every palace, every church, and every museum in Christendom, had poured forth its choicest treasures to swell this superb repository. Versailles has been ransacked by the hand of some rude spoiler, and here we find the buhl and the marqueterie, which that magnificent three-tailed bashaw, Louis Quatorae, had piled up in his gorgeous palace ; and Venice, the sea Cybele, would seem to have given up housekeeping after her divorce from the now spouseless Adriatic, for her i goods, and chattels, and penates, are stored up in Mr. ' Browne's inexhaustible granary. In short, there are so many Venetian relics, that we unconsciously looked for the lion which Napoleon took to the Invalides, and the bronze horses which are hidden under the porch window of St. Mark. We must defer to some future period the task of enumerating these treasures. We could not lightly pass by original statues from the chisel of Canova, Nollekens, Roubillac, Tadolini, and Bermini, the exqui site carvings of Framingo and Cellini, or take a mere cursory glance at Claude's glowing canvass, as if it were but the drivelling of Turner's dotage. Here we see Theseus carrying off Ariadne, whom he afterwards aban doned so scurvily at Naxos ; there, a Venus which would shake the saintship of an anchorite ; and also the reel ing goddess with the zoneless waist, flirting with Baccha nalian groups of the most exquisite workmanship ; and a glorious bust of Achilles. We shall take another op portunity of inspecting these treasure* . , and en attendant, recommend our readers to follow our example. We were just speaking of Achilles. Voltaire says that he was a great fool not to wear a horse-shoe to protect his heel. Had the Hector-slaying Greek been so fortunate as to have scraped acquaintance with Medwin, the bootmaker, he might have been invul nerably chause, and have escaped the shaft of Paris. It is stated that the most " successful" of all the bottes ecuyere at the Court ball were fashioned by this cele brated dealer in leather and prunella; and many a dame of high renown, who revived the ancient glories of the minuet on that occasion, encased her light fantastic toes in red-heeled souliers furnished by Medwin. And Doudney, also, must not pass unnoticed whilst the Queen's ball is spoken of. He displayed the science of the schneider's art in adorning the persons of the courtiers whose grandsires were " out in the '45." The historically hunch-backed Richard, whom Mr. Sharon Turner protests was an Adonis, is said to have declared that he would " Entertain a score of tailors, To study fashions and adorn his body." _ _ Mr. Doudney, although by nature only the ninth por tion of a human being, would have done as much for the usurping monarch as a " score or two " of any other tailors in London. However, the Queen's ball, and the costumes which were worn there, have passed away among the things that were, and Doudney now fills his spacious show-room in the Burlington-arcade with light waterproof summer coats of Irish poplin, which have already been patronised by some of the most ex alted personages. Gentleman in Paris, both French and English, repair to the famous tailor Becker, in the Rue des Petits Champs, and place themselves unreservedly in his hands. His skill and bon gout have become pro verbial among the Paris lions and gants jaunes. The richness of the materials, the elegance and good taste which he has displayed during the present year, in the novelties introduced by him, have secured for him the loudest approbation and lasting patronage of his nume rous clients.— Post.

If any further evidence was required of the virtues of bear's grease for renovating and preserving the hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of the North Arne. rican Indians, would be a sufficient teeswer. Ross and Sons, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street, who first intro duced the use of bear's grease in this country, and who fat and kill the animals, recommend the public to pur chase none other but with their names and address printed on the pot, or the chances are their obtaining a spurious article.

BRITISH AND FOREIGN INSTITUTE .—The closing soirfe of the season was given last evening at the rooms of the Society in George.street, and was attended by about 400 of the members and their friends, the majority of whom were ladies. The music of the evening was of a high character, and remarkable for the good taste with which It was selected, and the skill with which it was executed. The first concerto of Mendelssohn's, played by Mr. Salsman, accompanied by Messrs. Loder, Guynemer, Cooke, Hill, Ella, Goodhan, and Rousselot, was performed with a spirit, unity, and precision rarely surpassed. And the Quartette of Beethoven, led by M. Sainton, was as perfect as the composer hircself could desire. Among the musical visitors of the evening were Madame Caradori Allan, Madame Dulcken, MissLucombe, Miss Steele, Miss Messfint, Madame Garcia, Mdlie. Rupplin, Miss Weller, and the Misses Williams, with Mr. Kialimark, Mr. Muhlenfeldt, Mr. C. Horn, Mr. Grattan Cooke, M. and Madame Mayer, Mr. Ellis Roberts, the Welsh harper, Miss Richards, Mr. Kreutzer, Mr. Erhmann, and others, most of whom contributed to the in. strumental and vocal performanCes of theevening. Between the musi cal pieces refreshments were served in the saloon adjoining the in institution. And among the novelties of the evening great interest was excited among the artists, especially by the original sketch of Wilkie's celebrated picture of Pitlassie Fair, the first effort of his pencil that brought him into notice as an artist, and one of the few of his pictures that has never been engraved. The evening was concluded by an address from Mr. Duckingham on the objects of the Institute, and its rapidly improving prospects, which ap. Plied to give nation to one of the mos t b r illiant sante; of the seas on. general satisfaction, and ma de an appropriate termi.

The ceremony of laying the foundation-stone of this intended edifice took place on Saturday, with the usual forms, on the site, near Cambridge-terrace, Paddington road. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, by whom the principal part was performed, arrived on the ground pre cisely at three o'clock. He was received by a deputation of the parochial authorities, the Bishop of London, Lords Beverly and Manvers, Mr. B. Bond Cabbell, the Dean of Chichester, and a great number of the clergy. His Royal Highness, having inspected the plans for the building, which were explained to him by Mr. Hopper, the archi tect, proceeded to the spot where the arrangements had been made in the usual manner for laying the stone. The whole of a very large space, in which several thousands of persons were accommodated, was covered by an enor mous marquee from the manufactory of Mr. B. Edging ton, of the borough, and effectually protected the com pany from the showers and the continual gusts of wind, and without which the ceremony could hardly have been performed. Here the Bisnop of London commenced the proceedings by a short but suitable address. A prayer was then read, and the stone laid. The children of Pad dington parish then chaunted a hymn, and the Bishop pronounced his blessing. This terminated the ceremony. His Royal Highness has consented to allow one of the wards to be called the " Albert ward." The following is the inscription on the stone : " This stone was laid by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the consort of her Majesty Queen Victoria, on the 28th day of June, 1845." The band of the Grenadier Guards was in attendance; and at the conclusion of the prayers played the national anthem of " God save the Queen." In the evening a very large party of the subscribers and patrons of the hospital sat down to an excellent dinner provided by Mr. Bacon, at the Freemason's Tavern, at which Prince George of Cambridge presided, and at which a large amount of subscriptions was announced. SURREY QUARTER SESSIONS. Guildford, July 1. The General Quarter Session for the county of Surrey was held to-day at the Court-house, Guildford. The following magistrates were present—G. T. Nicholson, Esq., chairman ; the Earl of Lovelace, Lord Grantley, H. Kemble, Esq., M.P. ; E. R. Adams, Esq. ; T. Puckle, Esq. ; T. Cohen, Esq. • J. T. Briscoe, Esq. ; C. Batvley, Esq. ; J. W. Freshfield, Esq. ; Colonel Challenor, C. Francis, Esq. ; T. E. Johnson, Esq. ; H. C. Austen, Esq. ; Colonel Sumner, Captain Parrott, W. Strahan, Esq., &c. The governors and surgeons of the different gaols in the county reported that their several establishments were in a healthy condition. The number of prisoners at present confined in Horsemonger-lane is 146 men and 30 women ; in Guildford, 107 men and 18 women ; in Brixton, 200 men and 59 women ; and in Kingston, 28 men and 13 women. THE COUNTY FINANCES. Mr. SMALLPIECE, the county treasurer, made a report of the state of the finances of the county, from which it appeared that the last two-penny county rate had re alized the sum of 18,3364 12s. 6d., which sum had been increased by other items to 19,7721. 14s. i 1 d . He had expended on behalf of the county 11,6641. I ls. Bd., which left a balance of 8,1081. 3s. 3d. ; but there were outstanding amounts now due, amounting to 10,708/. 35., so that he would be deficient the sum of 2,5901., and he therefore requested the court would grant a fresh rate of twopence in the pound. A remark having been made upon the bench, to the effect that the expenditure of the county appeared to be very much on the increase, The TREASURER said it certainly had. The addi tional charge on account of the new lunatic asylum was one reason for it, and the recent Act of Parliament, giving coroners the power to pay the expenses of wit nesses, &c., had also entailed a very considerable addi tional expense on the county. The report was then received, and a fresh rate at two- pence in the pound ordered to be put in collection. Directions were also given to Mr. Onslow, the deputy clerk of the peace, in conformity with the resolution Passed at the last session, to give notice to the different parishes that the amounts due from them, respectively, must be paid within six weeks from the time of the order being made upon them, or the fine of ten per cent., which, by the last Act of Parliament for the purpose of giving facility to the collection of county rates, was directed to be inflicted upon all defaulters, would be enforced. DEFECTIVE STATE OF GUILFORD GAOL. The Visiting Justices of this gaol made a report, in which they stated, that owing to its defective construc tion, it was quite impossible to carry out some of the most material provisions of the New Gaol Act. There were no proper reception cells, where the surgeon could have an opportunity of examining the priso ners brought in, before they were put with the others ; they likewise could Not adopt a prison dress, because they had no store-rooms for the prisoner's clothes ; and there was also no space to enable them to carry out a system of classification among the prisoners. They were, therefore, still compelled to employ prisoners as nurses in the infirmary, and prisoners for trial at the assizes and sessions were also confined there. The regu lations for giving instruction to the prisoners were also virtually abandoned, as all that was done was for one of the turnkeys to act as a sort of schoolmaster for an honr every other day, when he endeavoured to teach them to read ; but instruction in writing, which was also en joined by the Gaol Act, was altogether omitted. Mr. AUSTEN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that the Visiting Justices felt so deeply the import ance of the subject, that they thought it their duty to bring it before the Court. It was not sufficient for a gaol to be clean, and that the prisoners should be silent and orderly, but they should take care that its discipline and regulations were such as would tend to improve the criminal and to repress crime. He approved very much of the regulations of the new Gaol Act, because he con sidered they tended to those objects, but it was impossi ble to carry them out at Guildford, and he had no hesita tion in saying that the system of correction at Guildford gaol was altogether bad as a corrective of crime. Mr: BRISCOE said he fully concurred in the report that had been presented to the Court, and, although at the present moment they might not be able to remedy the greater part of the evils occasioned by the defective con struction of the gaol, he suggested that the Court ought to take steps to appoint a schoolmaster, and thus, at all events, to take care that so important a matter as the education of the prisoners was not neglected altogether. The COURT concurred in the suggestion of the Hon. Magistrate, and the report was then received, it being referred to the Visiting Committee to take the neces sary steps to appoint a schoolmaster immediately. The Committee appointed some time back to take into consideration the subject of the separate confinement of prisoners before and after trial, and the applicability of the county gaol at Horsemonger-lane to that object, made a further report, in which they recommended the plan of separate confinement should be adopted, and that the Court should allow a sum, not exceeding 10,0001., for the purpose of at once carrying it out. This report gave rise to a desultory conversation, in which Mr. Kensall, Mr. Browne, Mr. Adams, Colonel Challenor, Mr. Austen, and Mr. Barclay, took part ; and eventually the Court referred the matter back to the Committee for further consideration. The next question that came before the Court was one of some importance to the administration of justice. A Committee had been appointed for the purpose of con sidering the propriety of giving the Chairmen of the different Quarter Sessions in the county the power to give fees to counsel to prosecute in certain cases. That Committee now reported that the system had been adopted in a great many counties in all cases where coun sel were engaged for a prisoner ; and as they were of opinion it would be found to work well also in Surrey, they recommended that the Court should give the Chair men of the different Quarter Sessions, in all cases where a prisoner was defended by counsel, the power to hand the depositions to a counsel to prosecute, and allow him a fee of one guinea, and the usual fee to his clerk, and allow the amount in the expenses of the prosecution. Mr. FaESUFIELD moved the adoption of the report, and said that the Chairman at quarter sessions was fre quently placed in a very painful position, when the pri soner had counsel and there was none for the prosecu tion, as he must either appear to place himself in the po sition of a partizan or an advocate, or else run the risk of a failure of justice. In some cases, a stranger who entered the Court might really imagine that the witness under cross-examination was the person who had com mitted the offence, and yet frequently the Court could not interfere without seeming to adopt the position of an advocate. This would be avoided by having counsel ap pointed for the prosecution, and he must say he consi dered it would be a very great improvement in the admi nistration of justice. Some further conversation took place, during which it was stated that the cost to the county could not be esti mated at more than 130t~ a year, and, as this would come under the head of costs of annual prosecutions, a portion of which was defrayed from the consolidated fund, the actual additional cost would not be more than 801. a year. The motion was then put and carried unanimously. The rule recommended by the Secretary of State for the exclusion of all strangers from the interior of the gaols on the occasion of the execution of a culprit, was then brought forward, and adopted, after which the Court adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. Thomas Capham, a cab-driver, and John Harris, his companion, were charged, bofore the Lord Mayor, under the following circumstances. Henry Ferguson, time-keeper on the Blackwall Rail way, stated that on Saturday night, at half-past ten o'clock, he was in the Minories, giving a direction to a person, when Capham, who was driving a cab, .struck him on the head with a whip, and knocked off his hat ; after which the cabman got off the box, grappled with him, and tore his stock off, on which was fistened a dia mond breast-pin, which cost 2L Harris drove off the cab, leavin g C ap h am e ngaged with witness, who be lieved that Caph a m, in the row, took the diamond pin as well as the s t oc k. Witness also believed that his hat was taken away in the cab ; and the whole transacti on took place without any provocation upon the part of the witness, who merely struggled to defend himself. Cap ham, after the outrage, made bis escape. In his cross-examination by Mr. Robinsfm, for Harris, the witness said he both felt and saw Capham drag at his stock and diamond pin. He grasped the w hip w ith w hi c h he had been assailed, and wrested it from his assailant. George J. Ferguson, brother to th e p rosecu t or , s t ate d that he was in the company of the last witness when Capham struck the hat off. Witness went to take the number of the cab, and Harris struck him, and they had a struggle together, and Harris made his nose bleed. H aris then drove off the oab, and Capham disappeared, and afterwards witness's brother complained of having WO 411 *4 and clitunond PROTEST AGAINST THE LANDLORDS AND TENANTS' BILL. DISSENTIENT 1. Because whilst we are most solicitous to support any measure which produces, or which has any tendency to produce, an improvement in the condition of the oc cupying tenantry of Ireland, we are unable to discover in the provisions of the present Bill any enactment which will have that beneficial effect. 2. Because we consider the improvement of agricul ture and the extension of a demand for labour in Ire land, to depend very mainly upon the mutual good understanding and co-operation between landlord and tenant, and the contribution of the capital of the one class in aid of the industry of the other, which the pro visions of this Bill seem calculated to check and limit, rather than to increase and to encourage. 3. Because of the intervention of a government officer, called in, not as a guide and adviser, by two parties anxious to combine in the execution of a definite system of well-considered improvement, but interposing at the request of one party only, and possibly against the con. sent of the other, appears to us manifestly unjust in prin ciple, and likely to lead to dissensions and jealousies, where it is most important that goodwill and cordiality should permanently exist. 4. Because we consider the compulsory introduction of new and varied obligations between parties who have already entered into contracts, and this without a saving of those existing contracts, gives to this Bill an ex post facto operation, contrary to justice and to the first prin ciples on which sound legislation should proceed ; prin ciples which have hitherto been regarded by Parliament as sacred and inviolable. 5. Because the introduction of a measure like the present seems peculiarly rash, dangerous, and inoppor tune, at a time when it appears from the report of the commissioners that "in spite of many embarrassing and counteracting circumstances, in almost every part of Ireland, unequivocal symptoms of improvement con tinually present themselves to the view, and when there exists a very general and increasing spirit and desire for the prosecution of improvements from which the most beneficial results may fairly be expected." 6. Because a facility of erecting new buildings on small farms, without taking any adequate security for the future and permanent appropriation of those buildings to those uses only which may be conducive to the real in terests of the tenant as well as of the landlord, and to the improvement and good cultivation of the land, can hardly fail to promote the increase of a pauper popu lation, lowering the rate of wages, augmenting the price of food, adding ultimately to the competition for leases, and thus aggravating incalculably many of the most serious evils incident to the condition of the Irish peasantry. 7. Because a provision to encourage the levelling of existing fences is not only inapplicable to the greater part o(lreland, but, as being unaccompanied by clauses to provide for the erection of new fences of a permanent or improved character, or indeed of any fences at all, seems to us most irrational and absurd. 8. Because even if it is assumed that the principle of the Bill is as wise and just as, for the reasons stated, it appears to us indefasible and impolitic, it is manifest that the machinery provided in this Bill by the estab lishment of a single officer of the Government in Dublin, acting through Assistant Commissioners, nomi nated l‘y himself, is wholly inadequate to the per formance of duties extending over the whole surface of a great country. 9. Because the enactment of an ill-considered measure, like the present, may raise serious obstacles in the way of a wiser system of legislative interference, to which we should feel disposed to give our most favourable consideration ; a system which, by affording guidance and instruction, where skill and science are required ; by facilitating the application of capital where capital is needed and is likely to be profitably applied ; by en couraging co-operation not only between landlord and tenant, but between parties interested in adjacent estates; by securing to the tenant the strict and accurate performance of all covenants entered into with him, and a full return for all improvements which he has effected with the landlord's approval ; by securing to the landlord the maintenance of all improvements to which he may be called on to contribute, shall increase the amount of agricultural produce, shall augment the national wealth, shall stimulate and render more per manent the demand for labour, and thus, without the violation of any principle, shall facilitate the discharge of the duties, whilst maintaining the rights of property, and shall thus improve the condition of all classes of her Majesty's Irish subjects.

FIER IN A RAILWAY TRAIN.—On Saturday after noon, according to the information of a gentleman who was pre sent, a fire broke out in the Glasgow and Greenock Railway train, which might have been attended with serious results. It appears that shortly after the half-past five o'clock train left Greenock for Glasgow a smell of burning was felt in one of the third-class car riages —In which many respectable persons were accommodated— and immediately thereafter the flames burst out on the dress of one of the ladies present. As the train was going at considerable speed and the wind was high, the utmost consternation prevailed at the time; but, by the exertions of the passengers—the most active of whom was a young seaman—the flames were extinguished, though not until the lady's gown had been burnt away almost to the body and sleeves. Fortunately the carriage was not crowded, which enabled the passengers to escape to the empty end of it, and save themselves from the flames. Indeed, according to our informa tion, the female portion of the passengers, some of whom had young children with them, had no small difficulty in keeping clear of the burning fragments of the lady's dress, which were whirled round by the action of the wind. The fire, no doubt, took place by means of a red-hot cinder ejected from the funnel of the engine.— Glasgow Herald. On Monday se'nnight, a pony driven by Mr. Henry Steed, of Sudbury, who was accompanied by one of his sons and his eldest daughter, took fright in Melford.road, kicked through the dashing board, and broke the shafts; the travellers were consequently thrown out, and Miss Steed's foot unhappily becoming entangled in the broken dashboard, she was dragged along at a furious rate, and her death seemed inevitable. A la. bourer, however, stopped the animal, and she miraculously escaped with a dislocation of the shoulder and severe contusions.

P. Miles, Esq., of Cambridge, to be held as challenge sculls, took place on Friday evening last. The distance was from Windsor Eyatt round the rushes and back to Windsor-bridge, about four miles. Seventeen boats started, being handicapped in four divisions— Sutherland, Ethelstone, Winter, Adlington, and Sadler being placed in the last. At starting all went awa y we ll together, and at Brocas clump fouling commenced with E t h e l ston e, Close, and Winter, M`Niven order Sutherland.

Greenwood b e i ng secon d, took up the lead, closely fol. lowed and pressed Foster hard to the rushes, where he succee d e d in passing him. Greenwood still five maintained the lead, whi c h h e k e pt to the bridge, winning by about boats' lengths, and was c l ose ly followed by the rest, who came up in the following order :—Ethelstone 2, Foster 3, Talfourd 4, fligshot 5, Luxmore 6, Bunny 7, Sutherland 8, Mr. Hanbury 9, Richards 10; Evelyn, Winter, Ford, Sadler, Close, and Kaye, were not placed. - " This has been the most spirited contest of the season, and much interest was excited as to who should obtain the first possession of the silver sculls. Mr. Miles, the gentleman who presented the sculls to the col lege, was the winner of the Cambridge silver sculls last year. The Duchess Dowager of Clevehu4o:l left town yester , fof tie corium*, James Martin stated that he saw the prosecutor and Capham struggling together, and the former said, " P°, you see what he is at?" and called out f o r the police, and said he had lost his stock and pin directly afterwards. Mr. Robinson—Did you hear nothing about the horses heads being struck by Mr. Ferguson ? Witness—No' thing at all. Harris—l was in bed at the time the man speaks of. Mr. Ferguson, in answer to several questions put to him by the Imrd Mayor, as well as by Mr. Robinson , denied in the most positive manner that he had cow menced or done anything to excite the disturbance ; and swore, in as positive a manner, to the identity of the prisoners. The LORD MAYOR—I have looked most scrupulousli into this case, and I am come to this decision :—I sen' tence Capham, for his flagrant conduct as tt cab driver , to imprisonment in Bridewell for two months, and hie licence shall be cancelled ; and I adjudge Harris to be his own surety inlthe sum of 801., and to find two sure' ties to the amount of 401. each, to appear at the next quarter sessions, to answer any charge which Mr. Fee' guson may bring against him. A very small boy, named George Clarke, was charged with having aided and assisted another boy, not in custody, in committing a robbery. Heir y Monachen, a boy, also of tender years, said that on Tuesday he went to bathe at Billingsgate, and he gave his shoes into the care of another little fellow while he proceeded to strip. Up came a third boy, and slipped the shoes out of the hands of the child, who Wee thus kindly employed for his companion, and the prisoner, who witnessed the robbery, prevented pursuit, by placing his person in the way. The policeman, who upon hearing of the robbery took the prisoner into custody, stated, that he asked the prisoner why he threw himself in the way of the bog who wanted to recover the shoes, " What the hell is that to you?" replied the prisoner ; " I suppose it was because I didn't want 'tother to be grabbed." In fact the prisoner seemed to exult in the success of his feat. The LORD MAIOR—WeII, prisoner, where is the' fellow who stole the shoes ? Prisoner—l can't tell where he is. I had nothing to do with the boy's shoes. The boy, in whose care the shoes had been left, said the prisoner offered to make known the thief's lodging' for the reward of twopence, but refused to accompauf, anybody thither at any price, and no doubt he woule, have pocketed the pence, and sent people on a wilt' goose chase. The LORD MAYOR—Come, prisoner, you must let 11 know where the thief is to be found. The prisoner-- 4 don't know where he lives. People lives here one day and there another. How am Ito know ? The LORD MAYOR—What did you say to the police' man ? The prisoner—l asked him what the h-11 it was to him why I stood in the way—but I did'nt steal the shoes. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, you shall go to the Compter and be comfortable there by yourself until you let 0 know something about this friend of yours. I dare ssi you will by-and- bye be glad to let us know something. The prisoner was then remanded. King, Lowden, and Cow tney, the boys who have been charged, the first with robbery and forgery, and the tied others with forgery, by Wm. Simmonds, the newspaper agent, were brought up, and the depositions having bee n read over, formally committed for trial at the Control Criminal Court. MARYLEBOIVE. FORGERY ON Tim PADDINGTON SAVINGS Barlg.', Yesterday a respectably dressed woman, named I lizabeg" Mitchell, was charged with having been concerned, with a not in custody, in the forgery of the name of her busboy' Henry Mitchell, and thereby obtaining from the Paddingte ri savings Bank the sum of 441. 19s. 2d. John White, a messenger to the Savings Bank, der 0 4 that on the previous evening the prisoner, accompanie young man, apparently not more than twenty-one years of a entered the premises together, when the latter, on being ask ed his business, said that he wished to take out some money, an witness subsequently saw money paid to the man by the cashier' On their quitting the bank, witness observed that the prisoner was much agitated, and he then imagined that there was soma thing wrong in the transaction. Henry Mitchell, the husband, stated that he resided at Wellings-place, Paddington-green, and was about to set for, all he knew in regard to the a ff air, but was stopped by t" - Magistrate, who decided that his wife being the o nly perW yet in custody, his evidence could not be admissible. Mr. Rawcitisort asked him what he knew of the mad suspected of the forgery, to which he replied. that he he. known him about three months. His name was Bass, and h" and witness had been employed by the same master. 0 Young, 115 D, said that, on the same morning, betel . eleven and twelve o'clock, the prisoner was given into his Or, tody by her husband, and on her being told what she w a r charged with, she stated that she knew nothing whatever sbe u the money. 'cli Inspector Wiggins stated, that in addition to the sum sal Bass had obtained from the bank, he had got possession of 4 great deal of the prisoner's wearing apparel, and a portion which had been traced to a house in Drummond-street. a , The prisoner said that the man Bass had lodged at her lieg_a and that on Saturday fortnight he left. She missed the b the next day, and knew not who had got it until Mondei; when he (Bass) saw her, and told her that he had given S t b e i proper notice for withdrawing the money. She adinit,j "" having gone to the bank with him to rec e i ve it, b u t asse that no part had been given to her. The prisoner was remanded for further examination 1311 next Tuesday. ROYAL POLY TECHNIC INSTITUTION. A lecture was delived here yesterday by Dr. Ryan 0 " Steam-boiler explosions, especially those arising tinj lincrustations." The Doctor gave it as his opinion, P i [ e s be fortified that opinion by experiments, facts, and ~ t a r citations of high authority, that by far the gre a t e r bar of steam-boiler explosions arise from i n crustatio to of the boiler, which incrustations prevent the boiler fr° o acting efficiently as a conductor of the heat of the fir e . the water. Almost all water, whether it be sprit]; water or sea water, holds a quantity of bicarba n o of lime in solution. The heat necessary to protinl steam drives off one portion of the carbonic acid gal d this bicarbonate and reduces it to the state of carbon s i of lime, an insoluble compound which is precipita t ; against the sides of the boiler forming an incrustatl e b which incrustation becomes a n uc l eus , arou nd wh'„l, other salts crystallise, which oth er sa lt s wou ld ti v e , however, become crystallised were it not for the prese li i. of this nucleus. It follows, therefore, that if the depli tion of carbonate of lime could be prevented there wo ll o t be no incrustration, and by preventing incrustation no only are the chances of explosion greatly diminished, b o o there is a great saving in fuel, as no heat is wit s .,„o in passing through the crust, and a great saving of OP', as the process of blowing off is rendered unnecesso l l; Dr. Ritterbrandt, a German physician, residing in Solid square, has discovered a cheap, easy, and safe method o entirely preventing the incrustation of steam-1)0 0 5 and he has recently patented his discovery, whioP es , certainly one of the most important of modern 014 It consists in impregnating thewater used in steam-boliD with Chloride Ammonium (the common rock od Ammonium) of commerce, which prevents the format i d o of the insoluble carbonate of lime. It is impossible to r o into the minutim of the decompositions which tn place, but we may state that chloride of ammonium r composed of chlorine ammonia and hydrogen and lie bonate of lime, of carbonic acid gas, calcium (the roetalo,, basis of lime), and oxygen. The hydrogen of the Cl ride unites with the oxygen of the carbonate and for 4 ,8 water. The chlorine of the chloride unites with ' to calcium of the carbonate, and forms chloride of c a0 1 :0 (the muriate of lime of the old chemists), a salt wbt is, perhaps, one of the most soluble compounds kon", t , and the carbon of the carbonate unit e s w ith the nris monia of chloride, forming carbonate of ansion"o (common smelling salts), a compound so volatile thak ty is driven off in the shape of vapour, and thus the l e e, crustation of the steam-boiler is entirely preveni Great credit is due to Dr. Ryan for the plain and unti os l standable manner in which he demonstrates this 113 4 important discovery to a mixed audience ; so adfrarliw o f lucid were his explanations, that a person ignoralltj even the first elements of chemical science could not ' l ' to understand him. . be The session of Parliament may now, we take Os t y looked upon as rapidly drawing to a close.
