(Letter addressed. . to Mr. Gladstone, and published by Nickisson, Regent-street.) - - We have now arrived at a point where the Govetrn ment is supposed to be_ prepared, to offer its assistance to any lipes, on condition that they carry third-class pas sengers by every train at /d. per mile. There are cer 'tainly many lines which would accept this ; but the data on which we proceed are too slight to make it a safe bargain. I propose, therefore, that it , shall be open to revision every five years ; at the end of which time, if the - dividend has averaged more than 7 per cent., the Go vernment shall be entitled to require such a diminution of fares• as shall reduce the dividend back to 7 per cent.; —that for all new lines, receiving Government assist ance, 7 per cent. shall be considered the maximum •divi dend :—that for all lines paying 5 per cent. or less; 2 per cent. more than the actual dividend at the time of the agreement shall be the maximum dividend:--that Govern ment may at any periodical revision. take into its own hands sny line which has accepted their offer, by securing to the proprietors their maximum dividend:— ..._that,O.4YeAUWIPAU ,f4ll - -9Asikti.,Aorit.,§.Pwn han, (1 494 - six months notice, afiffrafe' refusing to accept the vo vernment maximum, by securing to the proprietors one per cent. more than their actual dividend :—that a valuation of the stock or plant shall be taken at the commencement and expiration of such notice ; and the difference paid or allowed as the case Might be :—that when any line accepted the Government maximum, or received notice that the Government intended to take it - into-its own hands, the Board of Trade should have power to appoint a commissioner, who should be ex officio a director of that railway, and member of every committee, to be paid in the same manner as his col leagues when attending ; it being understood that the Government Commissioner should not take an active part in the management of the railway, but be the organ through whom the Board of Trade might obtain minute information' and be also a check upon any unfair dealing that might take place. The whole management, patronage, power, and re sponsibility of directors of companies I would leave precisely as they are at present. • I think the operation of these measures would be as -follows :—When once it was felt that Government in tended to act fairly, and pay full value for what the nation got, the scheme. would be examined as a matter of _busi ness by those persons who, knowing best the capabilities of their lines, would be the best judges. Some would try it ;, if the trial proved successful, others would try it ; if unsuccessful, it would show that Government must' pay more, .or 'fix a higher fare. In some in stances, it might not be a company's interest to accept the Government maximum at once; but the natural course of competition- would make it so in a few years; and in the' other instances, where neither from com petition, nor any other cause, could it become the in terest of the railway company to give such cheap tra velling as the nation desires, I see no alternative but to pay them the difference, to buy the concern at its full price, to reduce the fares, and let the, loss fall upon the nation generally. Eventually, however, capitalists would be secured 7 per cent., and 'very cheap com munication obtained. The revision being only once in five years would leave a stimulus to exertion on the part of directors in the interim. Under the management of local boards, the business of the railway companies and of the country would be attended to; and among so many . persons, a greater progress . would probably be made in the art of conducting railways, than if it became a department of Government, where regularity is often attained at a sacrifice of that individual energy, from which so much improvement springs. The nation will never consent that, to protect existing interests, a permanent dead weight shall, by mere in efficient "legislation, be fastened upon every new line. Such fetters should be struck off. If railways, by the mere course of events, the improvement of legislation and the progress of science, can be produced more cheaply than they once could, the value of the old ones must be reduced in proportion, wherever they come into com petition. Wherever a dear line can exist, a cheap , line - will flourish, and ruin its neighbour. Nothing can pre vent the old lines from sinking under this pressure, un less, with a wise foresight, they anticipate the evil day, and take shelter under the shield of Government; unless they consent to pay the .price of being constituted real monopolies, even if that price should be " cheap travel ling for the working classes." A DIFFICULT CASE. A case of. considerable interest' to mercantile men came before the Cour Royale of Paris 'on Wednesday. The questions involved are—lst. Whether the impru dence of the captain of a vessel constitu te s baratry on the part of the owner, and deprives him of the benefit of his insurance ? 2d, Does a captain, who continues to navigate when a fire has broken out in the vessel and a port is near which he could reach, commit a fault which releases the insurance-Office from' all responsibility ? The facts of the case, as stated by M. Billault, the Deputy, counsel for the plaintiff, Mr. Kent, an English merchant, residing at Boulogne , • sur-Mer, are as follow: —The brig Sylvain, of 124 tons, the property of Mr. Kent, commanded by Captain J. Baclin, and with a crew of seven men, after having taken on board at" Boulogne a cargo of coals, left the port for Cotte. the 26th of Augu st, 1842. On the 3 d of September' the captain .had t he pumps examined, and, having dis-; covered that the vessel was making more water than: usual, placed a man in charge of the iumps, with in structions to report any increase in the. leak. On the 10th the vessel passed the Straits of dibraltar, and on the 12th the man in charge of the pumps reported that the water had increased.' On the 18th, at twelve miles distance from the Point of Eoquette, , he stated that the water had become warm, and upon this report the captain ordered a, general examination to be made as to the cause. One of the crew having gone down into the hold was nearly overpowered by the heat, and then, for the first time, it was suspected , that the water from the ‘leak had caused fermentation _and produced. Are in the cargo. This suspicion was confirmed on the 19th, and two of the crew, whilst endeavouring to trace the precise locality of the fire, were suffocated by the smoke. On the 21st th e smoke poured forth in volumes; and the crew, got ready their clothes and a quantity of provisions, preparatory . to their escape. On the 22d, the captain steered for the Bay of Roses, about eighteen. miles distant _ ; but he was unable 'to reach it., and on the same day the fire made a vent, and burst , forth in flames. The captain and crew, finding all the , efforts to check the fire useless, resolved to abandon the vessel, as the only means sf saving their lives. and launched their boat in a heavy sea. The crew g ot it, but the cap: tab], unwilling to desert his vessel whilst even the most slender hope existed of saving it, remained on board until the fire had gained' such a height, that to have stayed an instant longer would have been death. He then got into the boat, and, having reached the shore, reported the casualty to the adjutant of marine of the village of Lastardit, by whom, as well as by the captain, the facts were laid before the Vice-Consul of France at Rosas. On the 2 istof. November. Mr. Kent, who had insured the vessel for 40,000 f. with the Companies of the Assur ances Generales, Orleanaises, Lloyd Fraficaises; the Union des Ports, and the Avenir, reported the loss and demanded payment. . This was resisted on the ground that the captain had not exercised 'due judg ment, and that his conduct: constituted an act of bare,- try, which deprived the owner of all right to compensa tion. Mr. Kent, under the advice of counsel, com menced a suit against the insurers before the Tribunal of Commerce of Paris, who, giving to 'the articles 353 and 216 , of the Code of .Commerce an interpretation unfavourable to the plaintiff, delivered judgment for the defendants. Against this , judgment Mr. Kent, has ap pealed, and the Cour Royale has to decide on the ques tions stated above, and which are of great importance. for, if the decision of the Tribunal de Commerce should be confirmed, the owner of a vessel will not only be held responsible for his servants, as,far as regards the neces sity of their using every, effort to- prevent the loss of his vessel, but also for their judgment as to the means to be employed, a doctrine which has never before been set up. Billault, having stated the case , was pr o c eedin g to show that" the decision of h the Tribunal de Commerce was contrary to law and equity, wen the President ob served that there was another cause on ,the list which had priority, and postponed the further hearing until ----- Wednesday next. ' • ,-. • . ' DEATH OF MR. RIITHTENi THE OLD BOW-STREET OFFlCER.—Yesterday, at a quarter to eleven o'clock, Mr. George Ruthven, one of the old Bow-street officers, expired at 'his residence, the — One Tun Tavern, Chandcis-street; Covent-garden, aged fifty-two years. He was the oldest, and most notorious of the few remaining Bow street runners, among whom denth has latterly made such ravages, and was considered as the most efficient police officer that existed during his longcareer'of usefulness. He was for thirty years attached to the police force, having entered it at the age of seventeen, but in 1839 he retired with a pension of 2201. per annum from the British Government, and pensions likewise , from the Russian andPiussian Groyernments, for his serviees• in discovering forgeries to an immense extent, connected with those countries. Since 1839, he has been laridlord,hl the One. Tut). Tavern, Chandos-street, Covent -garden, and has visited most frequently the' spot of his former active associations. He was taken ill on Thursday morning, and did not rally from a paralytic fit except a little on Saturday evening. ' Among his . many notorious captures may be. 'reckoned those of Thistlewood,:* for the Cato-street cOn-- piracy, in which daring enterprise Smithern was killed, ' the 'taking of Thurtell,'the murderer of Mr.Weare, . and the discovery of bank robberies and forgeries on Government to a,tre,norous iinount: He was a most eccentric character, Rad written a history of 4i.4 life, but would on no account it to meet the public eye.

Sir C._NartEn introduced the object the deputation had in vie* to Sir James Graham, and said, that the parishes re presented by the delegates present, considered that the Amended .Poor-law Bill would setiously interfere with their local interests upon ' several points ; viz., in the mode of appointing auditors, and in the creation of asylums and dis trict schools. Sir J. Gits.u.ssi said he thought that he had better state the alterations Which he was willing to make in the amended Bill. In doing so he was of opinion that it would reduce the matter in dispute to a very small compass. With regard to the 17th clause, in reference to the division of parishes into wards for the election of guardians, and which was worded in such a manner as to be considered ambiguous, as to whe ther it applied to parishes having local Acts or not, he would 'remove that ambiguity by stating that that mode of election would be confined to parishes under the Poor-law Act, and - not to extend to those having local ones. The 56th clause which bears more with parishes having local Acts, the proviso tn , which is a restraint on 'the existing law and not an extension ofthe law, he thought there could be no objection to.. To the earlier part of the clause an ohjection had been stated by the Hon. Gentleman (Sir C. Napier) very correctly of what he (Sir J. Graham) had said on a former occasion as to its object, which was to ensure at tendarree of guardians under local Acts at least once a forts night, as under the Poor-law Act. Indeed, they meet less frequently than once a fortnight under some local Acts, and in some cases only the Chairman had been found in at tendance. With respect to those two clauses all difficulty would be removed, and then the only question remaining would be those of the auditors, the asylums and the district schools. Sir C. NAPIER said that the parishioners of St. Marylebone felt that the interference of the Poor-law Commissioners was not required with reference to the proposed asylums, as their workhouse was open day and night for the reception of the destitute poor.' He (Sir C. Napier) had gone through the workhouse, and as well as he was able -to judge, it was well conducted, so far as health and cleanliness, together with the education of the children, were concerned Mr. G. DANIELL, of Marylebone, stated the different grounds of apprehension entertained by the deputation that the Bill would affect parishes having local Acts. Sir J. GRAHAM said he had endeavoured to remove every difficulty, except as to the district schools, the audit, and the asylums; and he was disposed to take the opinion of the House on the extension, so limited, as to parishes under local Acts. He was there to receive the observations they might make. Why (as to that limited extent), parishes having local Acts should not be brought under the same general foot ing as other parishes. Air. DANIELL said, if the 28th clause, which appointed audi tors under the control of the Poor-law Commissioners, passed in its present shape, in connection with the latter part of the 66th clause, the entire independence of boards of guardians would be annihilated, and the wholesome control of parishes under local Acts over their own expenditure be entirely abo lished. With respect to the proposed district schools, they considered that not only a vast and unnecessary increase of expense would be incurred, but that the removal of children fifteen or twenty miles from their own parish, would rather increase than diminish the evils of pauperism ; and as re garded the proposed establishment of district asylums for the destitute, they objected to such a principle, on the ground that they would tend to increase pauperism and incur expense. DUNCOMBE. M.P., said the real fact was, that the metropolitan parishes were perfectly satisfied with the pre sent state of things, and desired that the Poor-law Commis sioners should not have the power to interfere with them in any way. They felt that they were quite competent to ma nage their own affairs, and that if the amended Bill were car ried in its present shape, the effect would be to place them at the feet of the Poor-law Commissioners. Sir J. GRAHAM said his principal object in the proviso of the 56th clause was merely to compel boards of guardians in parishes having local Acts, to meet as often as parishes under the New Poor-law--at least once a fortnight. Mr. PUNCOMBE could not see, the necessity of such a pro viso, for the guardians of the metropolitan parishes under local Acts met oftener than under the Poor-law—always once and sometimes twice a week. It was absurd, therefore, to give the Poor-law Commissioners power to issue regulations compelling them to do so. Sir J. GRAHAM—There were some parishes under local Acts, in which boards of guardians did not meet oftener than once in six weeks, and a uniformity in such cases both for the benefit of the ratepayers and the poor was necessary. Members of the deputation from other parishes having urged upon Sir J. Graham various grounds of objection, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked, would Sir J. Graham undertake to pledge himself to insert a general clause exempting all parishes having local Acts from the operations of the Bill , Sir J. GRAHAM said he was not prepared at once that day to give such a pledge. He should, however, certainly deli berate upon the representations made by so numerous and respectable a deputation, and he should feel it his duty to represent to the Government the arguments which had been adduced by the delegates from the metropolitan parishes. - Mr. DUNCOMBE said, under such circumstances he would suggest to the deputation that they should leave the matter for the present entirely in the hands of Sir J. Graham. Sir J. GRAHAM said that the deputation might depend upon it that their representation should receive his best at tention. The delegates then withdrew, and adjourned again to the Marylebone Court-house, where a general meeting of a larger number of deputies from the various metropolitan parishes had, pursuant to notice, assembled to receive their report. Mr. DANIELL having been re-appointed to the chair, a statement was made as to what had transpired at the Home office ; and, after a long discussion, it was agreed to appoint a joint committee of all the parishes to watch the Bill, and to ascertain from Sir J. Graham his final decision on the point Submitted to him. A vote of thankshaving been given to the Chairman iind the deputation, the meeting- separated. ~~ t-J ~ ~ ~ THE .LATE • MR. WAREING, BIRMINGHAM.—An inquest was held on Monday evening, at the house of Mr. JoshuaStinton, Grand Turk, Landgate-hill, Birmingham, on the .body of the late Mr. George `Wareing, whose death oc curred in the Catholic Cathedral of that town. The first witness called was Mr. George Payne, who deposed that he was an assistant to deceased, and had been in the habit of seeing him daily. He seemed in pretty good health gene -rally, and was a man of very active and temperate habits. He saw him about eight' o'clock on Sunday morning in his own l'-urd, and -afterwards in the cathedral. Witness *ent into the church first, and deceased came in at about twenty Minutes to eleven o'clock. Deceased went to the upper end of the pew (or seat) and knelt down beside witness on his left hand. Deceased joined in the service the same as others. and read from his book, and .he (witness) perceived nothing the matter with him until a few minutes before twelve o'clock he saw : deeeased kneel down with others, and put his hand to his face, and presently he fell back and then on his side on to the ground. Deceased put his hands to his face suddenly, as if from pain, and then fell - back. There was a rush of per sons to assist him, and his body was taken to the Palace, and attended by Mr. Bentiow, surgeon, who bled deceased at the back, but he expired. Mr. James Wareing, son of deceased, stated that he complained.of being a little deaf during the previous fortnight, and sometimes of a tightness over his nose. The jury immediately returned a verdict of "Died by the visitation of God by apoplexy.7' MERCHANT SEAMEN'S SOClETY.—Yesterday, a meeting of the governors of this Charity, which is estab lished for the relief and support of sick, maimed, and: dis abled seamen, their widows and orphans, was held at the Society's rooms, Birchin-lane. From the report read by Mr. Watson, it appeared that the receipts amounted to 21,7311. 3s. 9d. ; and the disbursements, including 17,6381. paid to pensioners, tigdred 20,3301. 17s. 2d. The following are the pensioners on the Society's funds, viz., 1,646 men, 2,519 women, and 2,785 children. AN EARLY BROOD.—The following fact goes to show the extreme mildneskof the past winter :--For several months past a Mr. Curtis has been confined by Hitless, at the Albionon Horsemonger-lane, and occupies an ,upper room with a southern aspect. During the winter he was visited by a brrice of sparrows, who perched on.t4ie sill of the window near his bed, and in the severe weather they were supplied , with food. About the middle of February they began to build their nest on a ledge unde r the chamber window; and such has been their industry . and care that they have four young ones, able to leave their nest and nearly fledged and as - the parent birds are well supplied with food, their chirping offspring thrive fast. The circumstance is remarkable, as this doinestic bird seldom prepares for the work of incubation till the end of March. These appear to have fOrstalled St. Va lentine's day. - r METROPOLITAN DRAPERS' ASSOCIATION. A meeting of the Islington District Branch of the above Asso ciation was held at the Parochial School-room, the Rev. D. Wilson, Vicar, in the chair. The meeting was addressed by the, Rev. Mr. Arnie!, Rev. Mr Hughes, and the Rev. Mr. 'Venn, MeSsrs. Owen, Foskey, and other gentlemen, and re saitions were unanimously agreed - to condemnatory of the present late-hour system, and calling on the public to assist in removing the evil by abstaining from making purchases at late hours of an evening. The several speakers pointed out in forcible terms the evils arising from the present system, and, gave a very satisfactory account of the progress of the iAsoociation. 1 hanks were given to the Chairman, and the meeting dispersed soon after ten o'clock. „ A TTEMPT AT SUICIDE BY A OUNG FEMALE. — This Morning, between twelve and one o'clock, a fashion ably-dressed young woman, between .18 and 19 years of age, - whose name it appears is Mary Hodson, residing at 23, Fitz toy-row, Fitzroy-square, was brought into University Col lege Hospital, Upper Gower-street, Bedford-square, suffering from the effects of having, with the intention of committing suicide, swallowed poison, viz., a quantity of sugar of lead. The usual remedies were applied, and by the aid of the sto mach-pump a considerable portion of the poison 'icrk's ex tracted, but from the length of time she bad taken it, the extensive injury to the coats of the stomach it had effected renders her recovery doubtful. It appears she formerly held a respectable situation in a tradesman s establishment 4m the neiglabonthood, but having been lately seduced andAban 'aired by her betrayer, she was induced to adopt a vicious and profligate life. Last night she returned home in an ex- Lcited state from liquor, and having quarrelled with her land lord respecting some rent she was in arrear, she went out in a passion and procured the poison in question.
