One of the liveliest and most amusing farces we have seen for this many a long day, was produced at this theatre last evening, under the title of A Trip to Kissengen. The scene is laid at that fashionable watering-place, where we find Le Comte de Caram bole (Mr. A. Wigan), a French Chevalier d'lndustrie, and his wife Fifine (Mrs. A. Wigan). The Comte has just performed a grand coup. By uttering forged circular letters at Frankfort, he has made 10,0001. The forgery, however, has been discovered, and he has escaped to Kissengen, on his way to America, " de country where la justice is unknown, and de rogues is in safety." At Kissengen is -located Mr. Hercules Crisis (Mr. Keeley), " our own correspon • dent" to the Scourge newspaper, who had previously at Frankfort formed some slight acquaintance with Fifine. Crisis had at Frankfort spoken a leader of the Scourge, in which his Majesty the King of Bavaria was severely handled, and Fifine takes advantage of this circumstance to enable Carambole to effect his escape. She meets Crisis, tells him that the police have orders to arrest him on account of the language he had used regarding the King of Bavaria, but that such is the interest she takes in his fate that she has procured for him her own husband's passport, and that during his stay at Kissengen he had better pass as her husband, Le Comte de Carambole. The de light of the verdant Cockney at being the beloved of a real Countess, and passing as a real Count, can easily be imagined ; besides, the thing' is so ad vantageous in the way of business—his position will enable him to procure such valuable, such early, and such exclusive intelligence for the Scourge. Just as he is quietly domiciled with the Countess, who should arrive at Kissengen but his lawful spouse, Mrs. Crisis (Mrs. Keely), who, tired ofthe solitude of Herne Bay, has persuaded her uncle Lonely (Mt. Turner), to accompany her to Kissengen to surprise her deaf Hercules. She meets with the Comte, who, pour passer le temps, makes love to her, and tells her that Crisis has another wife, and, taking her to the Ragozi Pavilion, shows her the faithless Hercules drinking hock and 'flirting with Fifine. He is about to salute Fifine, when Mrs. Crisis pops her head over Fifine's shoulder and confronts him. The acting of Keeley and his wife in this scene was admirable—the fussy and furious jealousy of the one contrasted admirably with the stolid look of surprise of the other. Crisis, however, recovers his assurance, denies his wife and his name, and proclaims himself Le Comte de Caram bole, on which he is instantly arrested, and hurried off to prison with every chance of being hanged for forgery. It is in vain that when before the Commis saire de Police he app ea l s t o hi s w if e . Sh e di sowns him, and says the Comte, who talks excellent morality to him, is her husband. Uncle Lonely, too, is deter. mined to remain lonely—he will acknowledge no nephew ; while, to crown the whole, Fifine enters, and throws herself into his arms, declaring, that although he is guilty, she will never desert her husband. He is, however, rescued by the entrance of two Bow-street officers from London, who recog nise the real Comte, with whose person they are ac quainted, and demand his extratradition, while they recognise in Crisis an old Bow-street reporter, and vouch for his identity. His wife, finding lie has been made a dupe of, receives him back into her favour, and Uncle Lonely advises him for the future, if he must go to a watering-place in the summer, not to ven ture further than Herne Bay. The acting of the Wigans and the Keeleys in their parts was beyond all praise. The author has taken their measure exactly, and fitted them to a nicety. Mrs. Wigans's broken French was ex quisite—quite equal to her husband's. We have long wanted a good French lady, but we want one rio longer, Mrs. IVigan in that line of character being everything that, can he desired. The piece is ex cellently got up; some of the scenes in the garden of the Pavilion is really beautiful. The dialogue is very smartly written, and the fun never flags. From the rising to the falling of the curtain the audience were on the broad grin ;—of course it was completely successful. Better than all, the farce is original. We know not who the author is, but be he who he may, we beseech him to give us many more such original farces as a Trip to Kissengen. The house was crowded. rarxecsaysx..Earainfa• lt ,is stat e d t h at t h ere w ill b e a new Philharmonic So ciety next season, and that it will embody among its rnembera men of rank, position, and talent, who have „hithefto kept aloof from joining similar institutions. The new society, it is said, is to hold its concerts at the Italian Opera House, and the following names are al realy spoken of as a portion of the new society : Cramer, Mendelsshon, Benedict, Costa, Sivori, Thal berg, Leopold de Meyer, Berlioz, Auber, Balfe, Stern dale Beaaett, Macfarren, Smart, and C. Horsley. Araovernment agent has recently been at Yarmouth inspecting various localities for a lunatic asylum for both officers and privates in the army. It is said that the Royal Naval Hospital has been selected for that pur- Pose, and that ere long sixty or seventy will be inmates of that fine building. 4t a committee of the Dreadnought Seaman's Hospi tal Society, held on Friday last, a vote of thanks was unanimously passed to Monsieur Augu, editor of the Cherbourg Journal, for his zealous advocacy of the prin ciples of this universal charity. The inhabitants of Cherbourg extol in high terms the British philanthropic i nstitution, founded and directed by naval officers and merchants of the City of London, and would cordially hail the establishment of similar asylums for " the sick w ounded seamen of all nations," at the great mercantile Port a l of Havre, Bordeaux, and Marseilles. iThe Manchester Guardian cautions the public against e de sgns of a wo man w h o c alls herself Mrs. Burn, or —lsu rne i , and who h as b een l ev yi n g contributions in va rious palls of th e ne i g hb our h oo d, u nder the pretext of 6 p lle cting subscriptions for a f o rthcoming work of a re 11)2ms char acter, w hi c h s h e a ll eges to h ave b een wr i tten Y her daughter, and from which she professes to show extracts She had been very successful in her enter prises in th e neighbourhood of Bury.

Yesterday the Half-yearly General Meeting of the Directors and Proprietors of this Company was held at the London Tavern, for the purpose of receiving the report of the Directors and declaring a dividend. Thomas Gibson, Esq., in the Chair. The Secretary read the thirty-seventh half-yearly report, which stated that no new veins of gold had been discovered since the last report, but large quantities of lacotinqa for the stamps had been raised, as had been also a quantity of palladium, of which there were on hand 3,900 ounces. The value of this ore was considerably increased latterly, owing to the scarcity of platina. At the Cata Preta mine about 711bs. of gold had been raised. The produce of gold for the half-year ending June 30, 1844, was upwards of 4111bs. from Youga, being an increase of 1201bs. over the produce of the preceding half-year. The expenses of the establish ment had been considerably increased by sending out additional miners from Cornwall, and also in conse quence of the late excessive drought. After deduct ing all incidental expenses, a sum of 6,0541.25. 9d. was the available profit, which afforded a dividend of 10s. upon each share. In reply to Mr. Gray, a proprietor, the Chairman stated the number of persons located upon the Company's property was 636, and the cost of the passage of each person who was sent out there was 2.5/. They were bound to serve there for five years, and a small sum was deducted from their wages for the purpose of creating a fund to carry them back to England if they chose at the expiration of the contract. After a vote of thanks being passed to the Chairman, the meeting separated. THE LATE MAJOR-GENERAL SIR LEONARD GREEN. WELL, K.C.B. and K.C.H.—The deceased General, who was third son of the late Mr. Joshua Greenwell, of Kebblesworth, was born in 1781, and entered the 41st Regiment an Ensign, in August, 1801. He accompanied the expedition to South America, and was present at the attack on Buenos Ayres, where he was severely wounded. In August, 1808, he proceeded with his regi ment to Portugal, and served with the highest distinc tion throughout the Peninsular war, except on two occa sions, when he was absent solely in consequence of the wounds he had received in the field. He was present at the battle of Fuentes d'Onor, and at the storm and cap ture of Bsdajos. At Salamanca he was distinguished for his bravery, also at Orthes, when in command of the light troops of the 3d division under Sir Thomas Picton. He was severely wounded in one leg in that sanguinary engagement. Sir Leonard had been shot through the neck, the body, and both arms, as well as in the leg, at Ortkes above alluded to. He was nominated a Knight Commander of the Royal Hanoverian Guelphic Order in 1832, and 1838 was created a Knight Commander of the Military Order of the Bath. For his services in Spain he received the distinction of a medal and two clasps. His commission was dated as follows :—Ensign, 7th of August, 1801 ; Lieutenant, 10th of September, 1802 ; Captain, 31st of July, 1804 ; Major, 25th of October, 1810 ; Lieutenant-Colonel, 17th of August, 1812 ; Colonel, 27th of May, 1826 ; Major-General, 10th of Ja - a )1 . . 1837. THE ROYAL STAOHOUNDS.—MONDAY AND WED NESDAY'S RUNS.—An untried hind was turned out on Monday, at the Stag and Hounds, Binfield. The field was small, not more than between-forty and fifty beink present. The hind went away in beautiful style to the Shoulder of Mutton, on Bracknall-common, and thence to the Warren-house, leaving it to the left, whence it doubled to the left for Oakingham Church, leaving it to the right, and thence crossing the turnpike road for Mr. Barrett's, and away for the plantations, doubling to the left in the direction of Hanican's-lodge. It then made for the village of Finchampstead, on to Long water-brook (which separates Hants and Berks), where it was taken, after a run, at a tremendous pace throughout, of an hour and a quarter. About twenty were up at the finish. The meet on Wednesday, in the midst of a drench ing rain, which continued to descend in torrents through out the run, took place at Mr. Mill's, at Hillingdon, near Uxbridge. Between 40 and 50 determined sportsmen were present. It was intended to have hunted the cele brated Hampton deer, but the state of the weather not being such as to render a lengthened run politic or con venient, an untried hind was selected instead for 'the the day's sport. The hind, upon being uncarted at tho back of Mr. Mills's, made across the grounds ell Long and then away for Ickenbam-marsh r l / 4 a great Por tion of which was flooded by the lat.', heavy rains), by the White Bear to Ruslip, and th'.fn into Ruislip woods, where it was taker. The run up the woods(where the hind remained for nearly an hour and a half) occupied about 30 minutes.

Mr. Douglas regretted that the Testry b ad no power to appropriate the parochial funds t%) such Parnese. The only way in which they could aid so ex eetlent and benevolent an object would be, to fozni them selves into a Committee, subscribe themselves, and en deisvour to raise subscriptions throughout the parish to hitt‘ry the plan into effect.. Mr. M'Gill said, the plan ad, it appeared, worked- admirably in Liverpool and other great provinci a l t owns , an d i n a poor and pop dous Parish like that, no doubt but great benefit would result in such an establishment to the labouring classes. He Should b e most happy to join the gentlemen of the ves y in the formation of a Committee, arid also to sub iscribe towards so excellent an object.—(Hear, hear.) A very man said, that one such establishment would be of no service in so extensive a parish as St. Pancras. Mr. Douglas said, that one would test the principle; and if it answered, a number of establishments adequate to the wants of the locality would speedily follow. A Com mittee was ultimately formed to co-operate with the ge neral Committee. FIRE AT EXETER. —On Wednesday, about six o'clock, a fire broke out in the wareroom of Mr. Whit marsh, bookseller, of this city, which consumed nearly 2,000 volumes of old books, some of them being rare and -valuable. The. West of England fire engine was promptly in attondance, quickly followed by those of the San and Norwich offices. Owing to the efficient exer tions of the firemen, the destruction was confined to the room in. Which the fire originated, but a great number of Works'were destroyed. The goods were insured in the l`Krwich Union Fire-office. The origin of the fire is supposed to be accidental. On Thursday night a bed room in the Three Tuns Inn, adjoining Mr. Whitrnarsh's house, was on fire, but was speedily extinguished, after the destruction of the bed, &c.— Western Luminary. NOBLE AMUSEMENT.—The Duke of Rutland last week had a shooting party at Cheveley Park, near New market. On-Tuesday the four guns out were the Duke of Rutland, the Hon. Col. Anson, Mr. S.

Extracts from a pamphlet communicated to us by order of the Committee appointed by the Town Council of Leicester, t o cons id er an d re p or t u p o n Sir James Graham's " Parochial Settlement Bill :" CONSEQUENCES OF THE PROPOSED ALTERATION OF THE LAW OF SETTLEMENT. " The consequence will b - e — , - iliaCPersOns who have gained settlements in this or any other place by ap prenticeship, occupation, ownership of property, or any other means than those mentioned, and who may from their youth have been living here as acknow ledged parishioners, will, by this ex post facto law, be deprived of their present settlements, and be liable to be removed to the place of their birth, or, if that cannot be ascertained, to the parental settlement as explained by the new law. This sudden and violent disturbance and destruction of existing laws, will ne cessarily occasion an examination into the settlement of all the chargeable poor throughout England, amounting to 1,363,314 during the past year ; and it will be impossible to discover the birth .or parental settlements of many thousand families without sub jecting parishes to great expense, not only in ascer taining the facts, but in contesting them in courts of justice." CASE OF THE BOROUGH OF LEICESTER UNDER THE PROPOSED ♦LTERATION. " It appears, by the accounts kept of the distribu tion of the subscription fund raised in this borough in the year 1840, that in the fourth week of the dis tribution of it, there were 1,313 families and 4,442 individuals recipients, of whom 439 families are re turned as belonging to parishes in Leicester, and 874 families to out-parishes. The effect of the proposed law will be to relieve the Leicester parishes from the settlement of all those now belonging to parishes in Leicester, who were not born in the town ; but when it is considered that there were 874 families who be longed to out-parishes, and that a large number of the adults, and nearly the whole of their childrQn, have been born within the town ; and, further, that hundreds of persons who are now residing and settled elsewhere by apprenticeship, &c., will become re movable to Leicester as the place of their birth-settle ment—an alarming increase will be given to the locally-settled pauper population. It is probable that, by the operation of this laW, four-fifths or five sixths of the poor now belonging to out-parishes will become settled parishioners of this borough. " This is not, however, the only part of the bill calculated to prove severely prejudicial to this bo rough, and all other towns extensively engaged in manufactures." EFFECT OF THE FIVE YEARS RESIDENCE IRREMOV- ABILITY CLAUSE. " The clause which has been termed the ' quin quennial- ind us trial-resident-maintenance-irremovabi lity-clause,' will, in the course of a few years, render a large number of those who are settled elsewhere by birth, irremovable to their place of settlement, and therefore entitle them to relief, and practically give them settlement in Leicester and other 'large towns. The clause referred to is to this effect That no person who has resided the five years' last preceding in any parish, and has ordinarily maintained himself in or near thereto as a labourer, artificer, mechanic, servant, 'or tradesman, and has not been convicted of felony or misdemeanour, and has not during such five years been removed under any order of justices, shall be liable to be removed; but that no residence in any prison, barrack, lunatic asylum, or public hospi tal, or while receiving relief, shall be considered either as an interruption or as a portion of such five years.' This provision is full of obscurities, and is alone suffi cient to create more controversy and litigation than any passage containing the same number of words has ever yet occasioned. It is not stated what time the five years are to precede ; the words ' ordinarily maintained himself' are equally indefinite ; nor is there any explanation of the distance which is to be considered as coming within' the meaning of the words ' near' the parish ; nor is it very easy to com prehend what is intended by saying that no residence in a prison, &c., or while receiving relief, ' shall be considered either as an interruption, or as a portion of such five years.' The obvious tendency and neces sary effect of this clause will be, to transfer the burden of maintaining nearly all the poor who are not em ployed as labourers in husbandry, or in some degree connected with the culture of the soil, to the great marts for labour—the commercial and manufacturing towns of Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds , Bradford, Bolton, Nottin g h a m, Leicester, &c., and also to bring a proportionat e i ncreas e i n th e num ber of irremovable poor to the large manufacturing villages,. as Oadby, Wigston, Thurmaston, Sileby, Sheepshead, &c. ; whilst it cannot be doubted that in the smaller parishes, particularly where the property is in the hands of a few individuals, every practicable means will be resorted to by pulling down cottages, &c., for the purpose of preventing the poor becoming irre movable by the operation of this clause ; and it may not unreasonably be supposed, that private assistance will be rendered to their out-poor, so as to enable them to maintain themselves in the large towns for the period prescribed by this Act for rendering them irre movable." THE BISHOP OF LONDON A. SIR, R. PEEL. The Globe of last evening has discovered that s•me difference exists between the Premier and the Bishop of London, on the subject of the division of St. George's, Hanover-square, into distinct and separate parishes, and has seized the opportunity fo r reflec t in g on the character of the Bishop of the diocese. The Globe alleges that the Right Rev. Prelate is anxious to appoint his son-in-law, the Rev. Henry Brown, to the rectory of St. George's, vacant by the death of the Very Rev. Dr. Hodgson, the Dean of Carlisle, and that the Bishop was indignant that Sir Robert Peel insisted on the creation of some smaller parishes, whereby the ecclesiastical offices of the parish might be more efficiently administered. To this, the ex- Ministerial paper alleges the Bishop objected, as he was anxious that his son-in-law should not be de prived of any of the emoluments. , The statement thus put forth is a gross falsehood. So far from any ob.. jection on the part of the Bishop existing to the formation of smaller parishes, he was the first to suggest the improvement ; and declared long since that if the rectory should become vacant during the time of his episcopacy he would carry out the ar rangement For this purpose his Lordship proposed the erection of St. Paul's Church, Knightsbridge, and recommended to the Metropolitan Fund Commit tee the propriety of making a grant for that object. A liberal vote of money was made, and the Bishop himself contributed to the fund from his own private purse. But the best proof of the Globe's menda city will be seen from the fact, that within the last few days a new parish has been created, embracing Pimlico, Knightsbridge, and all the outwards of St. George's. Of this parish the Rev. J. Fuller, and the Rev. W. J. E. Bennett will be the joint rectors. The Bishop has expressed his anxious desire to erect an other parish , and it will doubtless be effe c t e d b e f ore any appointment to the rectory is nr.de. That Mr. Brown will have the appointment is tolerably certain and that will be the case whatever may be th e op i : nions either of the Globe or Sir Robert Peel.—Post, -*.O RIGHTFUL CAD ACCIDENT AND NARROW ESCAPE.— On Wednesday a horse which was attached to the cab 1,471, whilst proceeding down Fleet-street, suddenly took fright, and proceeded at a railro%a pace until he arrived at the avenue leading to St.: "Bride's Church, when the cab came in violent collisin with the lamp-post, and was instantly upset, togeth e r with the horse. The cabman was hurled several yards from his seat into the Mad, and the horse commenced plunging and kicking in st fright ful manner.

WESTMINSTER IMPROVEMENTS. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The utmost alarm and excitement has prevailed since Sunday last among the surviving relatives of the deceased individuals whose remains lie interred in the burial-ground of Christ Church, Westminster, in consequence of notices having been placed at the church-doors announcing that a proportion of the proposed new line of road from the Abbey to the Vauxhall-bridge-road would pass through the burial ground of the above churchyard, which, if carried into effect, will be the means of disturbing the re mains of hundreds far advanced in a state of decom position. In consequence of this, together with the fact that the proposed line will not be a direct but a circuitous one, a powerful opposition has sprung up, and preliminary meetings, supported by some of the most influential individuals in Westminster, have been held fur the purpoSe of proposing another line of street, which will not only be a short and direct com munication between the Palace and Pimlico and the Houses of Parliament, and open the west front of the Abbey, too long obscured and disfigured by buildings which really are a disgrace to that splendid and vene rable edifice, but avoid outraging the feelings of the surviving relatives of those who have, many of them, long since been consigned to their last resting-place. The originally proposed line, known as " Rigby M'ason's," according to the plan, will have its termi nation in the Vauxhall-bridge-road, whilst the re cently proposed line runs through Tothill-street, York-street, to Arabella-row, Pimlico, thus forming a straight and direct communication between Pimlico and the Broad Sanctuary. Notices for both lines were posted on the church doors of all the parishes on Sunday last, as also in the London Gazette. IMPROVEMENTS hi the QUEEN'S PARK. -We are glad to notice that the cutting of the great drain through the bog under Salisbury Crags is making rapid progress. For some time past the work has been attended with serious difficulties, from the constant falling in of the sides and the continued pour ing in of water from the surrounding springs. The drain has now crossed the road in front of the spot formerly known as " Maggy's Hole," and has entered the meadow, so long and justly complained of as one of the most offensive nuisances in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh—a nuisance which in a very short period will happily no longer exist. Probably none of the numerous improvements un dertaken in the vicinity of Edinburgh for a number of years back, have excited the same degree of in terest with those now going forward in the Queen's Park. Every fine day multitudes of well-dressed persons may be seen promenading the footpath at the finished part of the road to the south part of the bog—all anxiously looking forward to its junction with the portion already formed to the east of the Palace, leading towards Jock's Lodge. This junction will probably be effected in the course of the ensuing spring, and will open up a part of what, when finished, will be one of the most magnificent carriage drives in Europe.—Edinburgh Paper. ALL HALLOW FAIR. The supply of cattle was far below last year, espe cially in black cattle • whilst it was universally ob served that the number of country or spotted beasts was greater than on any former occasion remembered, and the demand for this sort was good. The total number of beasts in market on Tuesday was 5,429, while tale supply last year was 7,Bos—showing a de crease this year of 2,376. Sales commenced early in the day, especially for fat cattle, several of the best lots having found pur chasers before ten o'clock. The best lot of fat 'was sold by Mr. George Millemas, Causewayside ; they were fed by John Inglis, Esq., of Redhall, arid pur chased by the Messrs. Young, Stockbridge Market, at from 7s. 6d. to 7s. 9d. per Dutch stone (6s. to 6s. 2d. imperial), which was the top of the market. Other lots of fat beasts sold at 7s. 6d., 7s. 4d., 7s. 3d., 75., 6s. 9d., and 6s. Bd. for good fat, being a considerable rise from the Edinburgh weekly fat market. Sales for lean stock commenced, is many instances, early in the day; but from the very high prices in sisted on, comparatively few sales were effected be fore eleven o'clock; shortly after this hour, however, all good-conditioned polled stock were quickly bought up, as were also .the best sorts of north country and west highland ; and altogether the ground was well cleared of beasts generally by three o'clock in the afternoon. Various opinions were hazarded as to the compa rative prices of stock as compared with the last Doune market, Falkirk October Tryste, and the last year's Hallow Fair. After consulting with the most ex perienced and best-informed parties, we venture to say that prices for lean stock were about five per cent. above Doune - market, from ten to twenty per cent. above last Falkirk Tryst, and fully twenty per cent. above last year's Hallow Fair. In particular we should state, that two-year-old West Highland stots and queys fetched (Tuesday) from 7s. 6d. to 10s., and 12s. 6d. a-head above last Falkirk Tryst, and fully more per head above Hallow Fair last twelvemonth. Altogether this was an excellent market for holders of stock, and profitable sales were effected on stock from all the late markets. From our notes taken upon the ground, we select fle following as being some of the principal sales which may be considered to show the state of the market. A lot of 28 head from Fintry, two-years old, at from 6 . 1.-fis. to 6/. 10s. a-head, purchased for the Hon. Mrs. Doi2 r crlas, Strathenry, Fifeshire ; they were considered fully 12s. a-head up from last Fal kirk Tryst. A lot of 30 head of country cattle, three •years-old, at 101. 10s. for Mid-Lothian. A lot of 60 head of short-horned stornea stots from the county of Durham, six-quarters-old, fetciizad about 71. a-head ; they were driven from near Ne' - wcastle for this market, and were purchased by a fanner from Forfarshire. A lot of 30 head (shots of the above) fetched 51. 10s. a-head, they were purchased for Mr. Rennie, Inchyrie House, Perth shire. A lot of 20 head of six-quarter old Angus brought 61. for East-Lothian. A lot of 13 head of six quarters-old short-horns fetched 6/. Mr. Henderson, Liberton Dams, sold fat country cattle for 131. ss. a head, at from 6s. 9d. to 7s. per Dutch stone. Mr. John Hamilton, flesher, Leith, purchased a lot of fine Highland stots at 7s. per Dutch stone. A lot of 63 head of Irish cattle was brought to market by Mr. John M'Elroy, county Fermanagh ; twenty-two head of this lot were bought for 121.55. each for Mr. Rodger, Mains Kilconquhar, Colinsburgh, Fife, by Mr. Henry, cattle salesman, Edinburgh; they were the largest-boned cattle in the market. Mr. Davidson bought eleven high-condi tioned Angus queys and stots for the Marquis of Tweeddale at 11/. ss. 6d. a-head. Mr. D. Robertson, Methvin, Perthshire, sold twenty head of two years old Argyleshire stots at 51. a-head nett; part of the same stock was sold at last Falkirk Tryst for 4/. 10s. a-head. Really good beasts were few in number, and, generally speaking, the supply this year were the shorts loft over at previous markets ; in fact, there were no large lots appeared such as at Falkirk. There was a considerable show of good draught horses, which were in demand, the best of which fetched from 401. to 47/. 103. But yesterday (Tues day) may be considered as merely the commencement of the horse market, Wednesday I , eing the day on which the principal sales are effected, especially for superior sorts.—Scotsrnan of Wednesday. We regret to announce the death of Lord Saye old I Selc, which took place on Wednotelay. His Lordship was in his 76th year, and is succeeded in his title and estates by his only son, the Hon. William Twisleton Fiennes, who was born in April, 1798. WINDSOR JUNCTION RAILWAY.—WINDSOR, Nov. 13.—1 n consequence of the preliminary arrangements of this undertaking having been commenced at so late a period, yesterday being the last day for giving the usual notices in the London Gazette, and so many questions and interests of a delicate nature being involved, the provisional committee came to the following resolution : —" That inasmuch as the committee, after the greatest diligence and aaxiety, have not hitherto obtained the definite consent of the Crown to their undertaking, so as to enable them to proceed to Parliament in the en suing session, they have found it necessary to adjourn their further proceedings until the subsequent session, when they trust they shall be enabled more completely to carry into effect the intentions of the promoters of the project ; and that the secretary be requested to send a copy of this resolution to the subscribers, who will receive intimation of future proceedings at the earliest moment." VISIT OF MR. SHARMAN CRAWFORD, M.P.,'AND MR.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 11.—The Royal steam-yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain Lord A. Fitaclarence, has been taken into dock for further alterations. All her magnificent furniture has been landed, and her Senior Lieutenant, Tringham, is promoted to be Commander, and succeeded by Lieut. Robson, who will have charge of the brig Nautilus, 10, fitting for Channel service. The Eagle, 50, at Chatham, is commissioned by Capt. G. B. Martin ; and the Vindictive, 50, at this port, has been masted, &c., preparatory to hoisting the pendant. The Endymion, 44, at Plymouth, is also getting ready for active service. The steamer Volcano has been paid off here and re commissioned by her former Commander, Lieut. Miller. She is entering men very fast, and as soon as ready is to proceed to the Mediterranean station, to join Sir Edward Owen's squadron. The ram frigate Amazon, 26, at Sheerness, with the first-class steamer Vulture, is expected to be commis sioned in a few days, and both will carry heavy metal. The transport Princess Royal, Lieut. Harris, agent, recently returned from Rio Janeiro and Coast of Africa, is again ordered for service,. to convey to Jamaica de tachments of the 23d and 71st Regiments, from the Isle of Wight. The troop frigate Apollo, •42, Commander Maclean, sailed from Cork on the 3d instant, with the Royal Artillery, for service at Gibraltar, Malta, and the lonian Islands. The schooner Fair Rosamond, Lieut. Bulman, recently arrived from Halifax, is paid off in this harbour, and is to be forthwith surveyed, it is reported to proceed to the Coast of Africa. The Cornwallis, 72, Captain Richards, having struck the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, G.C.8., is gond to Plymouth, there to be dismantled and paid off. The Fox, 42, Captain Sir Henry Blackwood, Bart., had not arrived at the Cape of Good Hope at the departure of the Cornwallis, 31st August, though she was daily looked for, on her way to the East Indies, to relieve the Cambrian, 36. The Resistance, 42, troop-ship, Commander Patey, still remains in Plymouth Sound, awaiting orders. The Eurydice, 26, Captain Elliot (projected by Rear- Admiral Elliot), was, according to a letter of the 26th October, at Halifax, crew all well, and under refit to pro ceed to Barbadoes. The sailing and other qualities of the ship are spoken of very highly, as also her efficient condition. The Hornet brigantine, Lieut. Seaver, may to ex pected to arrive from the West Indies about the 20th instant, and will go to Chatham to be paid off. The Larne, 20, Commander Brisbane, and Hyacinth, 18, Commander Scott, are ordered to be detached from `the African squadron, and to join that in the West Indies. The Iris, 26, Captain Mundy, arrived at Hong-Kong from England, via Brazil and Cape of Good Hope, on the 26th of July last, from Singapore. At Spithead—No vessel of war. In Ifarbour—Excellent flag-ship, Victory, Nautilus, Echo, Comet, Dwarf, Volcano, Fearless, and Victoria and Albert steamers.—Brighton Gazette. STEAM BOILER EXPLOSIONS. It is highly creditable to our London engineers that few material accidents have happened to the steam boilers and machinery on the Thames, since the intro duction of steam navigation ; and with the exception of the loss of life on hoard the Hull steam-ship Victoria, about five years ago, the bursting of a defective boiler on board the Archimedes, fitted up with Smith's screw pro peller, but which had no relation to that admirable in vention, and the recent deplorable calamity on board the Gypsy. Queen, at Blaekwall, there have been no other occurrences on board steamers calling for particular re mark. Indeed, the safety of marine engine boilers manu factured in London is proverbial, which is to be attributed to the great care taken in their construction, and the low pressure at which they are worked, combined with the greatest strength. In the case of the Victoria there were two explosions. The first occurred at Erith, while the vessel was making a pleasure excursion down the river with the shareholders and their friends on board, and five men were killed in the engine-room. The acci dent was attributable to the neglect of the engineers in not keeping a proper supply of water in the boiler ; but Mr. John Penn, the eminent engineer, of Greenwich, who was examined on the inquest, gave his opinion that the water spaces were too small, and that a similar accident must inevitably occur if the same boilers were again used. Well would it have been if Mr. Penn's warning -hail been regarded, but un fortunately it was not heeded; and on the very next voyage from Hull, on the arrival of the vessel off Shad well, another of her boilers collapsed, and nice men were scalded to death. The second jury returned a verdict of accidental death, with a deodand of 45001. on the boilers and machinery. The ill-fated ship was taken off the station, and the boilers were not used again. They were made at Hull, from designs by Mr. Napier, a Scotch engineer (not of Glasgow). The boiler which exploded on board the Archimedes was a 'very defective one, made by a person in Blackfriars, who had never manufactured a marine boiler before. Mr. Baker, the coroner who presided at the inquest held in Shadweil on the bodies of the nine men killed by the second accident on board the Victoria, summoned before the jury Mr. PCDII, Mr. Sea ward, Mr. Maudslay, Mr. Field, his partner, and other eminent engineers, besides various scientific men, and it is to be hoped the same course will be adopted on the in quest to be holden on the body of the men who perished by the explosion in the engine-room of the Gypsy Queen; for the public and the relatives of the deceased parties will not be satisfied without a full investigation, and a careful and scientific examination of the boilers and machinery, and the amount of pressure the former were able to sustain with safety. CIVIL and RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta,—On reading the proceedings lately relative to Mr. Salomons, I could not but observe how much less the English people understand religious liberty than those of other countries ; as a proof of it, I will give you an extract from a work by the late Charles Butler, E.g., in a conversation which the Emperor held at Elba with a friend of his. Your insertion of it in your valuable paper will greatly oblige, A CONSTANT READER. Poole, Nov. 13, 1844. " He (Napoleon) became very animated, and, with evident pride to himself, contrasted his mode of govern ing to that pursued in Great Britain ; laughed at men being frightened in this enlightened age at popes or priests ; and observed with great emphasis, that his rule of conduct had been to extinguish all religious animosi ties, by giving to all an identity of interests, and thus consolidate public opinion to his government. He added, I gave to the Protestants and to the Catholics pecuniary establishments, and equal civil rights ; and I found to the last hour of my reign, the Protestants warmly attached to me. The Jews also participated in all civil rights, and I found them, not only in France, but in the many difficulties in which I was engaged in my campaigns in Poland, warmly attached to me." TIM, Nov. 4.—A case whicl excited some interest was decided in the Small Debt Court here last week. The pursuers, Mr. Henry, farmer, Pitcalnie, Nigg, had a bull which some time ago killed his herd-boy, and the action was raised against eleven young men, farm servants at Arabella, who had gone, shortly after the accident, and shot the furious animal. It was urged on the part of the pursuer, that he intended to kill the bull, and had agreed with the agent for the freight of it by steam to Edinburgh, for which he is now liable, and the defenders having killed it without his permission, he was entitled the full value. Many able arguments were adduced by Mr. Grigor in favour of the defender. The bull was valut: 4 at 9/. when alive, and 71. 16s. when left dead ; and the ,: , beriff decided that the defenders were liable in the differ nice, together with the charge of freight.—Ross-shire A t :lA:eraser. THE QUEEN'S-ROAD, N,XSWATER.—The new road through Kr nsing-gardens froikayswater to Kensington, is now completed. Two haniliome gates have been erected at Bayswater, bearing the royal arms, and the road is to be called the "Queen's-road." There are several magnificent mansions erected on the lino, which are ready for habitation. A CORONER'S JURY FINING ITSELF.—At an inquest held not long ago, at Letty Green, near Hertford, on the body of a woman who had accidentally shot herself w ith a gun, carelessly left on the table loaded by her husband, a poacher, the jury, to mark their displeasure of the man's neglect, levied upon the gun a deodand of 10s. The husband was in a state of great poverty, and utterly unable to raise half that sum, and the Coroner, in default of payment or obtaining the gun, was about to commit him to gaol, when the jury, pitying his distress, raised the sum from their own pockets, and thus paid a fine they themselves had inflicted. EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT BY A SERVANT. — Wednesday information was received at Bow-street, as the chief office, and forwarded to the different metropo litan Police-offices, that on the 10th instant a young man named John James Snare, assistant to Mr. Cotterell, pawnbroker, Shoe-lane, Fleet-street, absconded from his master's employ, taking with him 2001. in money— namely, 1001. in gold, 801. in Bank of England notes, and 20/. in silver. It is supposed he has gone to France by Boulogne or Calais ; but all pursuit in that direction had, up to Wednesday night, been ineffectual. THE LATE FORGERY OF BANK OF ENGLAND NoTEs.—We understand that several more of these have „made their appearance since we last alluded to the sub jeet and been paid by the Bank. Although a number of firm-street officers have been on the alert, no clue seems yet to have been obtained with regard to the cul prits. Ii is probable that the forgers themselves may have taken their departure for America or some other protecting country, ere She. issue of the notes occurred and the negotiators were mere tools in their hands, whom it may be almost an impossibility to trace. — Brussels British Gazette. Sir William Follett and family left Milan on the 29th ult., for Leghorn, on his way to Genoa. The learned Attorney-General continued to improve in health. We learn by the same source that Prince Michael Obreno• witch had left Milan also for Leghorn and Genoa. INVENTION or STEAM NAVIGATION.—It appears, from a printed circular which has just been published, that the merit of this discovery is due to a man named Taylor, a native of Cumnock, who first succeeded in pro pelling a boat by steam, in the year 1788. In acknow ledgment of his claim, a pension of 50L per annum was settled upon his widow, by Government, and a donation of 50/, was subsequently made to each of his four sur viving sisters; but, as this is justly deemed a poor re muneration for such important services, it is suggested that a national testimonial shOuld be made to the family of Mr. Taylor.—Northern Wiiiy.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Considerable dissatisfaction has been caused by the course adopted by Mr. Broughton, one o f th e ma gistrates of Worship-street Police-office, in a case of assault which a few days since came before him. The circumstances were . peculiar ; and the magistrate's de cision was, in our view, a practical denial of justice to the complainant. The assault was committed by the school, mistress of Bethnal-green workhouse on a female child of tender years, whom she had severely beaten for going into the scullery for water to drink with her supper water not being allowed in the meal-room, as it had been occasionally spilt by the children on the table and on the floor ; and the door leading to the place whence the children were permitted to obtain it being locked. The question fur the magistrate's decision did not hinges upon the authority of the schoolmistress to inflict mode rate punishment, in proper • cases, upon the childra n placed under her charge by the parish authorities ; nor whether, fur the breach of the regulations of the house, in the present instance, a trifling punishment might not have been inflicted by the woman upon the child. The real question was, whether such a punish ment, inflicted on a mere child; as blows of the fist upon its face and back, causing bruises and discoloura- Lion for scveral days, was justifiable under any circum stances ? The parents of the child were also inmates of the workhouse. The mother appeared as complainant. Tho violent treatment which her child had received at the hands of the woman was proved beyond centre versy. Mr. Broughton hilisself considered the case as proved. He stated that, in his opinion, the punish merit was inordinately severe, and could not be justified. This was, then, just such a case as called for the exer cise of the magistrate's power of summary jurisdiction. The complainant was too poor to incur expense in pro secuting the defendant at the sessions, and therefore had a strong claim on the magistrate for an imma ;Hate adjudication. The position of the defendant ago required that a check should be at once put upon the Indulgence of those feelings which had occasioned her attack upon the child. Yet in this case, which de manded immediate decision, the magistrate determined on delay. Ile cal:ei upon the defendant to enter into• recognisarces to meet the charge at the sessions, should the complainant prefer a bill, and the grand jury return it found. The master of the workhouse, who attended to assist the defendant in meeting the charge before the magistrate, exulted at this decision; while the poor woman who complained of the ill-treatment of her child saw in it a practical denial of justice. The formeri emarked, "That is just what we wanted, Sir 1" To be sure it was. It was tantamount to a dismissal of-the charge. It was like sending the poor complainant to a tavern, telling her that she might there obtain a delicious dinner, well know ing that she had not a penny in her pocket, and would therefore-be sent empty away. The poor woman ven tured to expostulate. She had no money ; how then could she go to the sessions, and take the necessary steps to indict the schoolmistress for the vio lent treatment of her child ? This reasonable and rorcible appeal was thus answered :—" Surely you have friends who will assist you in the matter." A pauper's friends ! The pauper-inmates of a workhouse are not precisely the kind of people who have friends ca pable of furnishing them with money to pay the fees of justice. The possession of such friends would preserve them from seeking refuge in a workhouse—that last re fuge of the miserable. The poor woman retired from the Court, with her child, sighing, "We have no friends ;" and feeling that " the world was not their friend, nor the world's law." On re turning to the workhouse, she was made to feel that to appeal to the law's protection against the violence of the authorities of the place, is not only useless, but dangerous. Her children and herself were removed from the wards they had previously occupied in the house, and were placed in the " approbation ward;'; to which the applicants for reception to the house are first introduced, previously to their regular admission. The state of personal filthiness, and frequently of disease, in which such persons generally are when they first en ter a workhouse, need not be described. The mother and her child who had been punished with extreme severity by the workhouse schoolmistress, were doubtless trans ferred to this ward to admonish others of the consequences of preferring complaints. Whatever provocation to com plain may be supplied by those who have in their own bands the means of retaliating, the sufferers had better patiently endure wrong, than risk the consequences of seeking redress. These poor people, unable to endure the annoyance of being placed in such a ward, discharged themselves from the house. The woman again attended the police-office, and again complained of the treatment she bad received, as a punishment for having com plained of the tyrannous and cruel treatment - of her child. The magistrate had no power to interfere. The poor creatures had no means of supporting themselves outside the workhouse s and said they must return thither, and henceforth submit - in silence to whatever treatment they might there receive. Surely there is some mode of redress, even for paupers, for wrongs such as we have described. If the Board of Guardians of the parish be supine or indifferent, the inabitants should meet and require of the parish officers an investigation into the general government of their workhouse, and into the circumstances of the case we have eescribed. If the facts really be as they were sworn to, and uncontradicted, before the magis trate, the schoolmistress should be placed on her trial for the assault, before the tiibunal to which the magistrate I needlessly, and as we think improperly, referred it. STAN LARD.—There is a growing disposition on the part of certain pseudo-philanthropists to represent the higher classes of society as more insensible to the condition of the poor than they were wont to - be in, what young Englanders are pleased to entitle, the "good old times." Every casualty to the poor that may happen to be recorded in the newspapers, is seized upon by these modern philosophers, as a fresh illustration of the correctness of their theory. One or more suicides have recently occurred in the humblest walks of life, arising, it is said, from extreme destitution, and these catastrophes are referred to, ad nauseant, asinstructive evidence of the insensibility of the rich to the condition of the poor. No inference can be less _warranted. The columns of the daily press must have convinced all readers of newspapers of the fact, that no genuine case of distress is ever recorded in their columns which does not command instant and liberal relief. In the vast aggregate of human misery which is to be found in large towns, the most distressing cases of poverty and destitution are often those which are most carefully concealed from public observation ; and men of wealth, how ever benevolent, most of whom are liberal con tributors to public charitable institutions, have often neither the leisure nor means of hunting out such cases. We can affirm, however. with the utmost confidence, that there is no. nation on the face of the earth in which more of active charity is to be found than in England, nor any city whatever which exhibits so large an amount of sympathy for the suf ferings of our fellow-creatures, whether they have arisen from penury or disease, than this same much-reviled City of London. Persons whose knowledge of the extent of public sympathy is derived from the columns of some of our Contemporaries, must have long ago inferred, that there is in England, and in London in particular, a most unchristian disregard of the feelings and comforts of the humbler classes. Yet is there hardly a day in which meetings of its busiest inhabisants, of the higher and middle orders, are not convened for the purpose of forming permanent institutions for the r!- lief of sufferers of all denominations. There is ins London alone, and we challenge contradiction to the fact, more money collected for the relief of the distressed in one year, than is contributed for any similar objects in any other city in the world. There is har dl y a disease which has not given rise to some valuable public insti tution, where the poor, could they divest themselves of the prejudice which, unhappily, influences them -'a many subjects, may have the benefit of greater skull and more unceasing attention than ca n readily be obtained by the wealthiest member of the Community at home ; the combination of skill usually atforded gra tuitously in a public institution, and the Ligid sys tem of attendance which is provided, beings greatly beyong the advantages which any private esia.b ll s ll- ment of moderate extent could by any possibility supply. Yet one of the most prevalent " . rose " of the day is the prejudice arising fissna i g norance, which exists amongst the destitute Poor;, ins this such establishments. • More tha n one suicide v s, er • ulgar this class of society have recently been recorded by , the daily newspapers, which profess to have been oc casioned by destitution ; the parties preferring ra ther to My in the face of their Maker, ralser than avail themselves of the relief which Might have been afforded them in an union workhouse. Nor ought it to surprise any one, that the exacta" rated accounts of such places of refuge, which havtP been repeatedly supplied by an influential portion of the: daily press, should have so- wrought on minds de pressed and weakened by painful personal privation.. We are no admirers of union workhouses, and are little disposed to eulogise the New Poor-law Bill, even-. in its present improved and modified form; but we- are quite satisfied that but for the factiously exaggerated accounts of the treatment of the pee! under that law, which have appeared in a contemporary ,iournal, in w hick the union workhouse has b een typified by Dante's Hell, and its executive represented as so many it incarnate fiends, no such prejudic es against as the distressing casualties to which our attention has. been directed would seem to indicate, could have existed. The conduct of a few persons cams( cted with the administration of the New Poo r-law,—conduct which, in the particular instances, it is •impossible to reprobate too severely, has furnished an excuse for stig matizing the whole of its executive in terms calculated to excite the deepest and most painful prejud ice a g ainst. it; and thus the poor are contest to suffer• the most heart-rending privations rather than avail themselves of relief from such a source; nay, in in stances, . some they have, we are told, committed suicide rather than accept of the relief it would afford them._ These distressing cases have been reported in so a daily print Int the most prominent. manner, as .. r. many , fresh proofs of . the . frightful unpopularity , o . t - the , New Poor-law Bill ; whereas they are more likely tap have resulted from the exaggerated accounts which have appeared from time to time in its columns of the alleged, sufferings of the poor in union workouses, and its re-i peated and unfounded assertion that a few examples oe the misconduct of the authorities in such receptacles are but the types of the entire system.
