70 THE RIGHT H. LORD JOHN RUS SELL, FIRST LORD OF THE TREA- 1 SURY, &c. &c. Lord,—Permit me, with the greatest deference, t o , suggest a mode of dealing simultaneously with the 'proverty and income .tax—and with the franchise ; w hico,on examination, will be found, I believe, prac tical, s:mple, and effective. It has now come to be admitte d by, I believe, a l m oat all classes of politicians , that the payment of rates and taxes should confer the right of seeing to its disbursement. Then let the income-tax and franchise go together; let the income-tax be extended to all sons having an income of say 6U—or, if you will, 4 per 0/. or 30/. a year ; and let the payment of the tax confer the pri th vileg of a vote for u Member of the Legislature — e tat o or per cen tage of the tax to be by a gra duated scale. The same machinery which collects the tax now would do it then ; the revenue would be increased, enabling the Minister to remit such imposts as pressed most heavily upon industry, and all classes would bo benefited. Thera might, also, be added to the qualification, the obligation that each voter (with certain exceptions) shou;(1 be a householder of a certain duration, and rated to the poor; also that he should have belonged fur a given number of months to some institute, or have a certain sum standing in his name fur a specific period in a savings'-bank.' But these individual conditions I do not press, as, it will occur to your Lordship, there are grave con siderations pro and con., which may be urged on both sides. The mode proposed would give a substantial class of electors, an d would, in respect of the franchise, sotisfy, in all probability, the most liberal advocates of political extension. 1: will not h er e refer to other points of political reform w hich agitate the public mind at the present time, mn y simple object being to lay before your Lord ship a p l a n for the extension of the franchise, which, , I belie. wo uld be found effective and satisfactory. ve Trusting it may be deemed worthy of your Lord xhip's co nsideration, I have the honour to remain, uk y, Lord. Your Lordship's most obedient servant, E. WARD JACKSON. N 0110137 Stockton-on-Tees, Oct. 13, 1851. A FAIR DAY'S WAGES FOR A FAIR DAY'S WORK. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—As you kindly indulged me with space for a letter upon the subject of " the cheap loat" I hope to be similarly indulged up on the sub j ect of " a fair day's wages for a fair day's work." To labour, as I stated in my letter upon the cheap loaf, we should look for a measu re of value ; thisis, I believe, admitted by our best authorities upon the science of political economy. Ad am Smith does, if ,I remember rightly, complain of a uthorities who admit such truth, but who lose si g ht of it as they pro ceod with their subject, regarding, at last, the precious metals only as measures of value and a s wealth. I have not yet lost my wits, . n or am I likely so to do, in the glitter of gold and silver. To labour, then, I bold for a measure of value, and wealth I recognise in very many other products of industry besides gold and silver ; am even so vulgar as to prefor b u tter or cheese to tinsel. Labour being assumed as the measure of value, and f oo d a function of labour, being essential to its sup port ; for if the animal man be not fed he cannot work. Now, to express labour in terms of food is what I propose to do. Toillustrate the proposition I will take the case of a husbandman, one of the "unskilled," but, neverthe less, a most useful member of the community, as by his labour we are provided with the first necessary of life—food. The wages of a husbandman, of ordi nary strength, should, to maintain him in good work iug condition, be four-thirds peck (that is a peck and a third of a peck) of wheat, of medium quality, for a day's work of ten hours' duration. Tnis ex nreesed in terms of the expanded currenc y of the - State, which land very many others confidently hope to .see, would. ba thirty puce, the average price of wheat being sixty shillings per quarter. If wheat should: rise to sixty-two shillings per quarter the day's tsesges in money would be thirty-one pence; if wheat Mould decline to fifty-eight shillings per quarter the.' day's wages would be twenty-nine pence ; two shillings variation in the price of the quarter of wheat making - exactly one penny difference in the d,sy's wages—the wages in each case being the worth of four-thirds peck of wheat. Piece-work to be paid for 1a proportion, ntf2cted, as it should be, by the ability of the workman ; work over time to be paid for at the rate of threepence per hour : these are matters of detail. It should be understood, that as the labourer would be paid in money he would be quite at liberty to purchase with it any sort of food, or any other necessary of life ; it is not insisted upon that he should be fed upon bread only, a portion of animal food is requieed by most labourers to support their strength, so that they may do justice to their employer by giving in return for a fair day's wages a fair day's work.—l am. Sir, yours, &c. Oat. IS, 1851. J. H. EXHIBITION ON TILE SERPENTINE. Since Wednesday the departure of articles of vertu and of ingenuity from the Crystal Palace, have been varied and multifarious ; locomotives have been tugged away by teams of horses, because there were no rails upon which they could leave ; merial machines have been quietly packed up and carted away because the breezes were not propitious for wafting them and their Ingenious projectors to their havens ; and the ma jority of inventions exhibited have returned to the possession of their owners untested, though perhaps stamped with the imprimatur of jurors, and their ac credited excellences acknowledged by honorary medals. All, however, is not gold that glitters, and inventions which mty appear very feasible in models, or on paper, often prove inefficient when put really to the test. The recent loss of multitudes of valuable lives in the Orion and other vessels having invested the subject of escape from shipwreck and drowning with intense interest, every appliance for preventing, in future, such sacrifices of life, requires that its effi ciency should be tested before it is entitled to the contNence of the public. The most recent patent in connexion with this important subject is that of W. R. Lawrie, Esq., of Glasgow, whose licensees are the Messrs. W. S. Silver and CO, of Cornhill, who exhibited a variety of ingenious appliances for this purpose in the British naval department, in the south-east transept gallery of the Exhibition. The in - veotiotas referred to, consisting of articles of deck and chin furniture, such as mattresses, pillows, °awl:Lens, boat and deck cushions, life belts, buoys, heat floats, &c., were removed on Saturday afternoon from the building to the Serpentine. A model of a life-boat, designed and executed by W. R. Lawrie, and T. and W. Forrest, of Limehouee, was first exhibited ; an d, although it had become somewhat leaky by several months' exposure to the sun, on being filled and turned bottom uppermost, it righted itself in less than a minute. Several boatmen dressed in Guru seys, duck trousers, &c., and wearing the patentees' life belts, then proceeded to capsize a boat, rigged with duck floats, which prevented its sinking, althou g h one o f the men, after righting, got into her to bail her out. The . I'mattrasses, &c., havin g been been thrown overboard, Pl t e men, who found they could not sink with the life-belts on, got astride of the float ing • artielee or reposed themselves at full length, c.rackingjokes with the lookers-on wh o were on th e banks of the Serpentine One m of the ent e in r a e( t i t , r w as h s o e s w fo a r s m n e o d t beeit, into which one o . f ~ on ly quite at ease i n his buoyant barque, but who Serpentine cros sed and re-crossed the with great ra pidity.

The Cape Town Mail of the 12th September gives the following summary of news : "During the six weeks which have elapsed since the departure of the Hellespont, few events of a cheering character have occurred, and the aspect of affairs in the colony and beyond the frontier is as gloomy as it has been at any time since the com mencement of the war. Our last summary left the Commander-in-Chief, on July 20, at King William's Town, engaged in sending out detachments of troops to traverse British Kafraria in various directions; while within the colony every frontier district was overrun by the enemy, who had swept off many thousands of cattle and sheep, had burnt numerous farm-houses and had completely devastated some ex tensive tracts of country. Since that time the same system of operations has been continued with little variation. Patrols have been passing to and fro in Kafraria, occasionally crossing the boundary into the colony ; while the depredations of the enemy have been carried on with as much activity and success as ever, in spite of the efforts of the colonists and some detachments of the troops to check them. " On the 21st of July two patrols were sent from head-quarters, under Lieutenant-Colonels Michel and Eyre, the first for the purpose of surprising the chief Seyolo, in the Keiskamma Kloofs, and the second to clear the poorts of the Buffalo. The first-named at tempt was not successful ; but the latter resulted in the surprise and dispersion of a party of the enemy, some of whom were killed, and in the capture of nearly 200 cattle, taken out of the kraals of the Kafirs. " On the 29th, the same officers again left King William's Town, and after conveying supplies to Forts White and Cox, s w ept round the Amatola, and aptured altogether about 250 head of cattle, killing sn one occasion seven Kafirs, who were drawn into an tmbush. " On the 7th of August, Lieutenant-Colonel Michel ;vas sent with a force of about 900 men to clear the 'xtensive Fish River Bush, between Trompetter's and Committee's Drift, where a number of marauders had established themselves. Colonel Michel traversed these fastnesses for five days, and destroyed several of the locations of the enemy. On one occasion, during a night mo vement, the enemy fired from an ambush upon his column, and killed two men of the Cl anw illi a m Levy; but the assailants were beaten off, with (as was believed), considerable loss. " On the 15th of August Sir Harry Smith, after repeatedly declining to accede to the urgent solicita tions of the Graham's Town Board of Defence, en treating that a portion of his force might be sent into the colony for the protection of the inhabitants, at length consented to dispatch Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre, with half of the 73d Regiment, and more than 100 horse, into Lower Albany. This movement has been productive of some advantage to that part of the colony ; but in spite of the activity displayed by the troops, the maurauders have continued their ravages in the close vicinity of the patrols and within a few miles of Graham's Town. " About the same time a detachment of 152 men of the 45th Regiment, under Major Kyle, while patrolling near the Seven Kloof Mountains, had a sharp conflict with a body of Kafirs and Hottentots, losing one man killed and three wounded, but in flicting, as was believed, a considerable loss in both killed and wounded on the enemy. Another skirmish took place near the Debe Neck on August 19, be tween Captain Vialls of the 45th Regiment, with about seventy men, and a number of Kafirs, of whom several were shot, with no loss to Captain Vialls' de tachment. "On the 21st ult. Colonel Mackinnon, with a force of 850 men, was dispatched to convey supplies to Fort Hare, and bring back the fifty Hottentot rebels, convicted and sentenced to transportation by ,he court-martial. This service was duly accom- pushed, and.on the 27th the column returned to head quarters without having encountered an enemy, either in going or in returning. "On the Ist instant Lieutenant-Colonel Burne, of the 2d Regiment, who was engaged in patrolling the Fish River Bush, near Committee's Drift, had a severe action with a body of Kafirs and Hottentots. The particulars are not fully known. The fight is described as a sharp affair,' and the casualties were rather heavy, three soldiers being killed and twelve wounded. " Some other operations within the colony require to be noticed. The Tambookie marauders having been very troublesome on the north-eastern frontier, a party of 200 Albert and Colesberg burghers, under Commandants Olivier and Joubert, assembled to chastise them. The party made a patrol into Tam bookieland, and captured about 200 head of cattle. On their return, they were surrounded by a very large force of Tambookies, estimated at about 2,000 strong, and were for a time in a critical situation. They were rescued by the advance of Commandant Joseph Read, with his mounted troop, to their as sistance. The milted colonial force then attacked and routed the Tambookies, killing 129 of them. " Major-General Somerset, with the first divison of the army, has been moving between the Somerset and Albany districts, but has been able to accomplish little for the protection of the inhabitants. In the latter part of July he made an etTurt to expel Macomo from the Waterkloof, which that chief, with several hundred of his people, has made his strong hold. General Somerset was unsuccessful in this attempt, and he soon afterwards withdrew from that neighbourhood, leaving the inhabitants to defend themselves. This they have done as well as their numbers and resources enabled them, but with only partial success. " Oa the 4th ult. a party of 12 mounted men, headed by Messrs Ainslie and McGregor, with about 30 Fingoes, encountered a large body of Macomo's Kafirs, estimated at not less than 600, whom they defeated and drove before them, killing no less than 20 of them. This easy victory of so small a body of colonists renders General Somerset's failure the more unaccountable. That officer has recently been en gaged in patrolling in Albany, and has succeeded in re-capturing some cattle taken by the enemy. " Numerous other skirmishes of military and colo• nial patrols with the enemy have taken place, but it does not appear that any material effect has yet been produced in restraining the activity or diminishing the boldness of the enemy. Every post brings ac counts of fresh depredations and ravages committed at various points within the line of the frontier. At the latest accounts from the Somerset district, many coloured servants (Tambookies and others), who had hitherto remained faithful, had joined the enemy, and aided in driving off their masters' cattle. The burghers of Graaff-Reinet, Cradock, and Zwagers' Hek, were to assemble on the 4th instant at Somerset, to endeavour to expel the enemy from the Kaga Mountains. " In the Orange River Sovereignty, the British Resident has made no movement since h:s repulse by Molitsane, on the 30th of June. He has, however, published a Government Notice Extraordinary,' in which the people of Moshesh and Molitsane (the Basutos and Bataungs) are denounced as enemies, and the settlers in the Sovereignty are summoned to enrol themselves for military service. The inha bitants have generally refused to obey the order, alleging that they have no desire or motive for quarrelling with those chiefs. A public meeting of landowners and merchants has been held at Bloem Fontein, at which resolutions were passed, severely censuring the conduct of the Resident towards those chiefs, as impolitic and unjust. A force, consisting of two companies of the 45th Regiment, with some native auxiliaries, has been dispatched from Natal by Lieutenant-Governor Pine to the assistance of Major Warden, and it is said to be the intention of the Commander-in-Chief to send the 12th Lancers to the same province. The latest rumours from the Sove reignty, received through Kafirland, are of a startling nature. It is reported that the two denounced chiefs, Moshesh and Molitsane, were about to join the hostile Kafirs with all their forces, numbering 8,000 or 10,000 fighting men, but the report needs confirmation. " During the last month the 2d Regiment of Foot (Queen's Royals) has arrived from England, and the 12th Regiment from Mauritius. About 450 men have also arrived from England in the troop ship Sumner and s. Cyclops, to reinforce the various corps already in the colony, and nearly as many volun teers have been sent to head-quarters from the western districts. The freight ships Berkshire and Charlotte, and_ the steamers Retributi on a n d Odin, with the 12th Lancers (for whom a full complement of . horses has be en mfie„.pivarrcehans:V, daily dthe expected.

A ion at Subjoined is a—me--morial presented . to Sir Harry returned short answer was opinion, to which an exceedingly 1 in `Chief remained unaltered : rc!ived from the , statin g that the views of the Commander .1. That the alarming nature of the intelligence their opinion, that ;the force now acting w ithi n the 1 upper frontier districts shows, in i colony is• cp alto inadequate to the protection of the lives and pr operty of her Majesty's subjects. " 2. Ths t within the last six weeks the enemy has swept off t:om the district of Somerset alone upwards of 20,000 sheep, 3,000 head of cattle, and 300 horses ; that oince the commencement of the war 200 farm house s on the north-eastern border have been re duced to ashes, and that a large amount of bread, corn, and other property has been wantonly de stroye d. "3. That while the frontier colonists have become prostrr ted, by the harassing events of seven months' hostilitdm, the enemy has received within the present week large accession to his numbers by the deser tions of Hottentot servants, who up to this time had remained faithful to their employers, and being at the prey ent moment in possession of more cattle than before tine war, is not likely to be subdued by famine. "4. 'That it is obvious that the enemy is rapidly ex tending his operations, while the frontier is receding westwards, so that burgher camps and leagers, which but a :!ew weeks ago were regarded as occupying se cure positions, are now mere outposts : and these too are, one by one, being abandoned, as too weak to re sist t'ae tide of invasion. "5. That the heretofore settled districts are over run by hordes of savage despoilers, before whom the farmers are retreating; and thus an immense tract of territory, the but recent abode of industry, is relin qu6hed to the undisputed possession of Kafir and rebel Hottentots. " 6. That while these extensive forays have sup plied the Kafirs with abundance of food, the re sources of the colony are rapidly becoming crippled and reduced; and that unless this be at once stayed, the quantity of stock will shortly be unable to supply the immediate wants of the inhabitants, who will consequently become subjected to the severest privations, while agricultural operations being altogether sus pended, distress must be increased, rather than dimi nished, as the season advances. "7. It is the conviction of this board that the burghers of the frontier have been quite unable to protect their own property, which has been already carried off to the extent of several thousand pounds, and, therefore, could not afford your Excellency that personal co•operation in the field which seemed so desirable, and which was so urgently prayed for. Even the population of Graham's Town, so reduced by contingents supplied for the field, for Govern ment escorts of stores to outposts, and by the patrol duties of the Albany Rangers, the Farmers' Club, and Fingoes is, in the abssnce of any garrison force, regarded by all as unequal to its own defence. The spontaneous and universal desertion of the Kafir servants was a serious misfortune to the border farmers, and being followed by the defection of the Hottentots, the property of their employers could not with safety be left to their sole care; it hence became impossible for men so circumstanced to leave their homes, which at the moment of their departure might have been assailed by, or surrendered to the foe, as in too many instances was actually the case. " 8. That this board is not unmindful of your Ex cellency's expressed intention of maintaining the Ka frarian forts as a basis of military operations ; but they earnestly intreat your Excellency to take the present helpless condition of the colony into your im mediate consideration. "9. That the establishment of certain burgher posts by your Excellency's orders, in June last, Was hailed with gratitude, as a temporary relief; but since that period those posts, so far as established, are found in sufficient to protect their immediate localities, while the country at large is without any adequate force to resist the hostile inroad. " 10. That recent occurrences in the Orange River sovereignty seem to give indication of the spreai there of that combination among the coloured races from which this province is now suffering. The board, therefore, deem it of vital moment that the most energetic measures for. the protection of the colony should be taken, and that without a moment's delay. They are of opinion that the time has arrived when every ablebodied man throughout the colony should be required, in the terms prescribed by law, to enrol himself for the common defence; and that her Majesty's Government should be informed of the urgent and absolute necessity of additional troops being sent hitherto avert the calamities which now threaten to engulf the whole of the eastern province. The danger which threatens the country is, in the opinion of the board, imminent; but they confidently trust, by the measures adopted by your Excellency, and by God's help, that the present wicked rebellion may be put down, and firm enduring peace be re stored to this distracted land. " Graham's Town, July 19." ItErLY. "King William's Town, July 22. " Gentlemen,—Your 'memoir' of the 19th inst. reached me yesterday. " 2. I have always thought that any regular force at my disposal, which could be given for the interior defence of the frontier, would be inadequate for the purpose, although I ordered there every available reinforcement. My proclamations of the 25th of De cember and 3d of February last, the general disre gard of which has led to the misfortunes therein predicted, were issued such being my impression. Had the levy en masse which I called forth been readily afforded affairs at this moment within the colony would not wear their present disastrous aspect from marauders. lam aware that there is now much difficulty in the farmers on the immediate frontier turning out, owing to the desertion of their servants; but this is not the case on what may be termed the second line,; and I'expect much from a commando now in the field under Mr. Cole, the Civil Commis sioner of Albert. ' 3. It is indeed melancholy to observe the awful state of the country, on which you so truly comment. Major- General Somerset is now detached into the colony from the immediate frontier, and his 'Frontier Orders' of the 13th inst. show that he is ably exert ing himself to meet the evil. "4. However much I admire the conduct of the Albany Rangers—and I have every reason to do so— I cannot admit that the inhabitants of Graham's Town have done as much as might have been ex pected to contribute towards the general defence, and I ground such an assertion upon their noble conduct in 1835. " 5. Your comments upon the defection of the Hot tentots are most just. Lamentable is that defection, and equally unexpected by me as by yourselves. It has cramped my movements and protracted the dura tion of the war, which would otherwise have ere this bee❑ brought to a conclusion. "6. I am but too well aware, gentlemen, of the helpless condition of many of the inhabitants of the colony. No one can more regret it than myself; and I feel additional pain because I know that the greater part of the evils which have assailed them might have been averted. Had the burghers at once turned out at the commencement of hostilities, we should not have now to depore all that you so truly and lamentably describe. In 1849 I proposed to the colony an im provement and modification of the system called the commando system,' which it most unthinkingly op posed. Had the force contemplated by that improved system been at my disposal, the state of affairs would have been indeed far different from what it now is within the colonial border. "7. The course I have pursued in British Kafraria is the correct one. Had I swerved from a persever ance in it, however awfully the marauding parties have recently carried on their depredations, there would then have been a general rush into the colony of the whole of the Kafir tribes. In war that must be attempted whiCh carries with it a pro spect of the greatest general benefit to the whole. "8. I posted the division of the troops under Major-General Somerset at Fort Hare, as a second line for interior defence, and for the burghers to rally round. Major-General Somerset bas moved this division, with my sanction, into the most disturbed districts, and this most active and enterprising officer has my authority to establish posts of burghers at every prominent point best calculated to repel banditti. "9. You are of opinion that the time has now arrived when every ablebodied man should be requird to turn out. I think this time arrived seven months ago, and I accordingly then called upon them by my proclamation to do so. But what was the result ? Whenever the burghers will turn out for the occupa tion of posts, you are aware that I ration them and feed their horses, and their services are important. " 10. Two thousand of the Hottentot levies, as you know, returned to their homes. lam in daily expec tation of further reinforcements from England, and on their arrival, if Major-General Somerset's opera tions should not have had the desired effect, and if the present demeanour of the Kafirs, which from the recent and combined successes against them in British Kafraria is decidedly that of despondency, continues, I may be enabled to make a more extended disposi tion of the force under my command. " 11. I have thus entered into this subject with you, gentlemen, with a desire to show that, while as a citizen I sympathise in the present calamity, as Com mander•in-Chief I am exerting myself to the utmost to restore tranquillity.—l have the honour to be, &c., " H.

The .National Gazette of Berlin says :—" Our Go vernment having learned that the Cabinet of Vienna wishes to establish a general customs union for Ger many, has desired M. Delbruck not to engage in any negotiation which could lead to future difficulties, and to declare that the Zoliverein will not form an Austro- Germanic union until Austria shall have fixed and communicated her tariff." A letter from Munich states that the Bavarian Government having requested the Chambers of Com merce to express their opinion as to the mainte nance of the Zoliverein, has received answers fa vourable to it, but that, nevertheless, it will probably oppose on the lst January next a renewal of the treaties constituting it. PERSIA. Letters from Teheran of a recent date have been received. It appears that Russian influence was triumphant in the Persian Court, and that Prince Dolgourouky, the Russian Minister, had obtained satisfaction for the insult offered to the Russian flag at Asterabad. He had also obtained that an extraordinary mission should be sent to St. Peters burgh for the purpose of dissipating all existing misunderstanding between the two courts. The mission has been confided to Mirza Hassan, an in fluential member of the Divan, but who is well known for his partiality to Russian interests. The British Minister, on the other hand, notwithstanding his protestations, could not prevent the military preparations made by the Court of Teheran against Herat from being brought about. Twelve thousand men under the command of the General-in-Chief, were on the eve of marching on Herat. Colonel Shiel, on account of his ill success, was on the point of quitting the capital for Tabreez ; Colonel Farrant will replace him during his absence. The amicable relations between the Court of Persia and the British mission will not therefore be interrupted, although there existed a great want of confidence between the two parties. KOSSUTH. It has been said that no man seems a hero to his valet; and truly the Times and some other English journals play the part of the valet in directing exclu sive attention to the minute foibles, errors, and de fects of whomsoever they please to dishonour, and in overlooking all the nobler qualities and the prudent and bold actions which denote a great man. Louis Kossuth is about to arrive on our shores—perhaps at this moment has arrived—and the Times, faithful to its Austrian predilections, has done its best to asperse his name and conduct with a plenteous covering of calumny and misrepresentation. The writer in the Times would have the English public to believe that Kossuth, in whom a whole people rested their hopes of national freedom—who was sustained in authority by all classes of his fellow-countrymen—who has played the same part in Hungary as Hampden played in England—is not to be distinguished from men of narrow views and insensate doctrines like Ledru Rollin or Louis Blanc. Now it is well known that Kossuth had ever uppermost in his mind the idea of constitutional liberty which England has realized. In all he did he worked after our English pattern; nor did he seek to remove any fault from the institu tions of his country which we have not removed, or of which the most Conservative of our statesmen would not pour forth his blood to resist the return. There is nothing, therefore, in the design of Kossuth which hinder the most Conservative of Englishmen from rendering him such respect and honour as his genius, his patriotism, and his virtues may be worthy of. And there is so much of joy in the perception of heroic qualities in men, that the Times will not easily persuade us to forego the gratification of rendering homage to Louis Kossuth. There is not a true Englishman who can withhold a sigh as he thinks how the efforts to attain liberty, in 1848, were ren dered vain by the factious dissensions and follies, the lack of generous sentiments and practical wisdom, among the democratical enthusiasts. The conduct of the Austrian, Russian, Roman, and French Govern ments which have used the faults of the democrats as an excuse for the stupidest tyranny, is not less an object of contempt and scorn among us. So that in expressing our admiration of Kossuth, we are at once doing honour to the man who was found capable of guiding a revolution to a good issue, and marking our disgust at the ignoble and ugly tyranny which now reigns throughout Europe. But even a portion of the Liberal press of England has displayed some signs of dissatisfaction with the address of Kossuth to the Democracy of Marseilles. It had been better, say some of his admirers, that he had avoided any act that could be construed into identifying himself with the Republicans of France. But what fastidious nicety is this ! France is surely Republican, as much as America is. The nation has willed a Republic ; and it is notorious that the Go vernment installed by the nation is plotting to upset the present order of things, and to alienate the minds of the people from Republican institutions. The Go vernment which notoriously has betrayed the cause of the French people used Kossuth unscrupulously. And why should he be denied the privilege of appeal ing from the falsehood at its head, to the truth, man liness, and generosity of the body of the nation ? He is about to claim the nobly offered hospitality of Ame rica, and he calls on our shores to pay his tribute of gra titude for our sympathy. If he honors the Republican form of government in America, he no less admires the Monarchical here; for he knows that the genius and habits of a people determine in what way the common principle of self-government can best be attained. Why, then, should he not pay honour to the Repub• lic of France ? Among us we may be sure that he will not offend the fastidious taste by an allusion to the defects of our institutions. He will not even hint his approval of that extension of the people's rights which Lord John Russell has promised, and which Sir Robert Peel said all Conservative statesmen must wish accomplished without the strife and turmoil of accomplishing it. Kossuth is in exile more honoured by the Hunga rian nation than when it seemed probable that under his prudent guidance it would win independence and liberty. He must be a great man who could arouse a whole nation, inspire it with one spirit, and animate it to such brave and gallant efforts as were made by the Hungarians. All was done which could be done by prudent counsel and courageous action. The event has proved that it would have been impossible by any exercise of saga city to have given Hungary a chance of obtaining free institutions without a contest with Austria. Kossuth, therefore, committed no fault in attempting such a contest. And if the war was unsuccessful, its untoward issue was certainly not owing to the fault of Kossuth—unless it be imputed to him as a fault, that he was misled by a too noble confidence in the patriotism of the man to whom he gave the command of the national armies. Had he possessed, along with his mastery over the generous passions of men, the subtle insight into the sinister designs of selfish men, and the iron will of a Cromwell, he might possibly have changed the immediate destinies of his country. But had his magnanimity not equalled his capacity, he would not have re ' tained bis empire over the hearts of his countrymen in defeat; nor would they perhaps have retained their ardent hope of a good future, if his humanity had not preserved his country's cause from those doubtful acts of severity which a less righteous man might have resorted to. It is well for Hungary if she pre serve the spirit he has awakened ; and that spirit will be quickened when his countrymen learn with what fervent sympathy Kossuth is received by the two great nations, England and America, which best know how to appreciate what is dignified in the character of public men and wisely beneficient in policy. PUBLIC MEETING IN DERBY TO ADDRESS Kos- SIIIII.—In compliance with a numerously and re spectably signed requisition, to which the signatures of men of all parties are affixed, the Mayor of Derby has convened a public meeting of the inhabitants for the purpose of adopting a congratulatory address to Louis Kossuth, on his arrival in England. The meeting is convened for Tuesday evening, and will be held in the Guildhall.—Derby Reporter. SEABORNE MAILS.

Catherine Abbott, alias Yates, was brought up on the charge of being drunk and disturbing the con gregation of St. Bartholomew's Church, Moor-lane, Cripplegate, during the performance of divine service. The Rev Wm. Denton, clergyman of that church, said—On Saturday morning the prisoner called on me to upbraid me for appearing against her at the sessions, where she was indicted for keeping an im proper house, and in which she imagined I was pro secuting. In the evening she came into the church during the performance of public worship, and seated herself directly in front of the pulpit. She beckoned to her husband, who was standing at the door, but finding he refused to come, sh 6 rose from her seat and walked all down the church, bawling out as loud as she could, " You're a pretty clergyman to preach to the poor," and other offensive expressions, to the great annoyance of the congregation and interruption to the service. I was reading at the time, and raised my voice to try and drown her noise, but all to no purpose. I gave her into custody after the service was over, not so much with the view of punishing the prisoner as preventing the recurrence of this nuisance, as several improper houses have recently been routed out of my district, and my congregation may be sub jected to further annoyance unless some example is made. The Verger stated he heard the prisoner as she was leaving the church call out, "Bad luck to you, Mr. Clergyman," but could not make out anything else distinctly, because she made such a noise. Prisoner said, I was drunk, Sir, when I went into the church, or I should never have conducted myself in the manner described. When I was in I felt aggravated, and said to Mr. Denton, " How can you preach to poor people when you took a false oath against me this morning." That was all I said in the church. Alderman Sel.omons said—The law is very strin gent with regard to persons disturbing public wor ship. Mr. Denton is not desirous to press the case against you for severe punishment, but is only anxious to secure himself and his congregation from further annoyance. I shall not, therefore, treat your case under the stringent provisions of the Act of Parlia ment, but will merely fine you ss. for being drunk, and bind you over in your own recognizances to keep the peace, and be of good behaviour for six months. WORSHIP-STREET. Mr. William Scadden, a master bricklayer in Charlotte-street, Curtain-road, was charged with having violently assaulted, and thereby caused the death of Thomas John Taylor, a labourer in his service. A young man, named Robert Creese, stated that shortly after one o'clock on Saturdry afternoon he was passing through Chiswell-street, Finsbury, when his attention was attracted to an angry altercation be tween the deceased and the prisoner, and he heard the latter exclaim, "If you repeat that expression, I'll knock you down." The deceased thereupon re peated the observation, and the prisoner instantly struck him a violent blow under the ear, which caused him to stagger back and fall heavily upon the pavement. He was immediately raised by some of the bystanders, who conveyed him to the surgery of a medical gentleman in the neighbourhood, on reaching which he was ascertained to be quite dead. On seeing the man fall, the prisoner walked off, with the observation "that he had only given him what he deserved," but he was subsequently traced by Hay ward, one of the warrant officers of this court, who took him into custody. The prisoner, who made no observation in reply to the charge, was ordered to be remanded to await the result of the post modem examination. WESTMINSTER. A miserable•looking barefooted woman was brought before Mr. Arnold under the following circum stances : A police-constable proved that his attention was called to the defendant by a gentleman who found her sitting on the previous evening on the step of a door in Belgrave-square. Finding, upon inquiries, that she was in a state of destitution without any place of abode, the constable took her to St. George's work house, in Mountestreet, Grosvenor-square, when the porter said she had been there before, and refused to admit her. Under those circumstances, the constable took her to the station for shelter. Mr. ARNOLD directed the constable to request the attendance of one of the parish officers of St. George's to give some explanation why a woman found in this destitute condition wax refused relief. In the course of the day, Lacey, one of the officers, attended, when Mr. Arnold represented to him the circumstances of the case. Lacey said he was not in attendance when she was brought to the workhouse, as stated by the constable, but begged to put the magistrate in possession of some circumstances connected with her history. She was a short time ago charged at the Marlborough street Police-court with attempting to commit suicide by drowning herself in the Serpentine, but she had merely walked up to her middle in water, and then screamed to attract attention until she was got out. As she was then in a state of destitution she was taken to the workhouse and clothed, but subsequently demanded her discharge, and left the place. In about a fortnight afterwards she was again taken before Mr. Hard wick for an act of mendicancy, and com mitted for seven days. She had, besides the occasion on which she had discharged herself from the work house, been clothed from bead to foot by the authori ties. Something, he thought, ought to be done with her, as she was addicted to very indecent and filthy practices. Mr. ARNOLD observed that the point was, the woman was found on the present occasion really in a state of destitution, and taken by the constable to the workhouse, where nothing was done for her. Lacey said he had before stated when she had the opportunity of being maintained in the workhouse she insisted upon being discharged. Mr. ARNOLD thought that, being evidently in a state of utter destitution, it was the duty of the porter at the workhouse to have relieved her, irrespective of character, and his refusal had compelled the police to lock her up, because they did not know what else to do with her. It was the porter's duty to have taken her in, to be dealt with as the board of guardians might think fit. The circumstance was one bring ing great odium upon the administration of the poor law. He thought it was harsh treatment to have refused her relief. Lacey said he would take the woman to the work house, and see that she was properly attended to. Mr. ARNOLD observed that it would be as well, in so obvious a case of destitution as the present, that the porter did not act so authoritatively, and refuse admission. John Groves, a chimney sweeper, was charged with disturbing one of the ministers of St. Luke, Chelsea, while performing .a funeral service. Upon the case being called on, Johnson, the parish sexton, said that the Rev. W. A. Snake, the minister, who bad been interrupted by defendant, had desired him to state that he wished to withdraw the charge. Mr. ARNOLD observed that he had no doubt the Rev. Gentleman was actuated by the kindest motives, but as it was a matter of public misconduct, and as the Rev. Gentleman was not the person who had charged the defendant upon the police-sheet, but Johnson, the sexton, he must hear the case. Johnson then stated that while the clergyman was reading the burial service at a funeral in the church yard, on Saturday afternoon, the defendant called out through the rails, " Why don't you pull off your smock ?" and added something about no fees for bu rials, baptisms, and churchings. The clergyman, at the conclusion of the service, directed witness to find a police-constable, and give the defendant in charge ; which he did. Defendant had since waited upon the Rev. Gentleman, and having expressed the greatest contrition for his misconduct, he (the sexton) had been requested, as he had before stated, to solicit his discharge. Mr. ARNOLD asked the defendant what he had to say to the charge ? Defendant replied that he was extremely sorry, but he was under the influence of liquor at the time he committed the offence, and did aot know what he was about. Mr. ARNOLD inquired whether be was a dissent er ? Defendant, in a faltering tone, evidently a s h ame d of the avowal after such gross misconduct, repli e d that he was a member of the Established Chur c h. Mr. ARNOLD said he had been guilty of the most disgraceful and indecent conduct, calculated t o out rage the feelings of the minister in the highest de gree; but as that gentleman had expressed his desire to withdraw the charge he would pay attention t o th e request, which he was sure was dictated by the kindest motive. H e hoped the defend ant ' s express i on of contrition was sincere , and he sho u ld di sc h arge h i m upon his entering into his own recognizances to keep the peace and be of good behaviour for the next six months. THAMES. Thomas Drew, 22, a labourer, residing at Sophia street, Poplar, and Charles Palmer, 19, also a la bourer, of Balaam-street, Plaistow, were charged with robbing Joseph Frederic, a P or t uguese o f co l our , o f twenty shillings in silver. It appeared that about wrne o'clock on Saturdev night the prosecutor changed a sovereign at the Harrow public-house, Poplar. Shortly alter r2eeiving the silver it appeared, from the evidence of the prosecutor cc well as from that of T. Chattell, the potman, that Palmer seized the black man by the throat, holding his head backwards, whilst Drew rifled his pockets. Chattell swore distinctly that he saw the silver between Drew's fingers as he took his hand from the pocket of the prosecutor. The two prisoners then made off; but being known to the potman they were subsequently taken into custody. There were about thirty persons in the room at the time, and a third party, not as yet arrested, blocked up the door while the prisoners made their escape : Palmer denied that he was in the house at the time of the alleged robbery. Drew said he just came i s and called far a pint of beer, but seeing a disturbance he immediately left, and both vehemently insisted that the potman was swearing falsely—a practice by which, they said, he obtained his living. Committed for trial. In connexion with the above case, John Satcher, an athletic young fellow, forming one of the gang of desperadoes 'frequenting the Harrow, was charged with assaulting Chattel, the potman. It appeared that, on Sunday night, the prisoner asked the prosecutor whether it was true that he had booked the charge of robbery against Drew and Palmer, and on Chattell answering in the affirma tive, he exclaimed, " You -, take that," at the same time giving him a tremendous blow, which smashed his jawbone. Mr. INGHAM sentenced him to pay a fine of 3/. or be imprisoned for six weeks, on which he was locked up in default. The prosecutor here observed that he went in danger of his life, as the ," pals" of the prisoners threatened to take vengeance on him with a knife. Mr.INGHAm directed Casey, the constable in the case, to look to the protection of the prosecutor, and told the latter, if the threats were renewed, to apply to the Court for warrants against the parties using them. METROPOLITAN INTERMENT ACT. On Saturday the award of the referee or umpire, Mr. Barnes Peacock, Queen's Counsel, proposed as umpire on behalf of the directors of two of the metro politan trading cemeteries, and accepted by the Ge• neral Board of Health, was officially announced by his determining the compensation to be paid on be half of the public for taking possession of two of the largest metropolitan trading cemeteries for use or closing, namely, the cemetery at Brompten, Middle sex, and the cemetery which was established at Nun head, about a mile from the Bricklayers' Arms, in Surrey, by the same company, which opened another trading cemetery at Highgate. The awards were the first of a proceeding under the Metropolitan Interment Act, which authorised the General Board of Health to take compulsory pos session of the whole of the trading cemeteries, even tually closing them until other, and, as the Board of Health deem it, more suitable places of extramural sepulture can be provided, on the plan set forth in their report on a scheme of interment submitted to Parliament in pursuance of a provision to that effect in the Diseases Prevention Act. The proceedings for the determination of the com pensations in these cases have been pending for some weeks past, and have been pursued chiefly in sittings before the arbitrators, Mr. Rawlinson, the engineer in behalf of the General Board of Health ; and Mr. Alderman Farebrother, on behalf of the Nunhead Cemetery Company; and Mr. Hardwick, the archi tect, in behalf of the company owning the Brompton Cemetery. B. Peacock, Esq., Q C., acting as umpire. The case in behalf of the General Board of Health was conducted by Sir F. Thesiger; that in behalf of the Nunhead Cemetery Company by Mr. Crowder; and that in behalf of the Brompton Company by Sir Fitzroy Kelly. The evidence heard before the arbitrators was almost exclusively professional, of architects and others, as to the value of the sites, and the expense and construction of buildings. For the Brompton Cemetery, the sum claimed as compensation by the company was 168,762/, Its. Bd.; the sum offered in behalf of the public by the General Board of Health was 43,836/. For the Nunhead Cemetery the sum claimed was 99,349/. the sum offered wits 39,8711. On the part of the Brompton Cemetery Company evidence was given to prove the actual expenditure of 107,0001. for works, and proof was given that 63,0001. had been actually expended on the Nunhead Ceme tery. Both companies claimed compensation for pro spective profits on the discontinuance of the practice of intramural interment, and also compensation for com pulsory purchase. In respect to the prospective profits, it was ad vanced on behalf of the companies that they relied, as sources of profit, upon the continuance of " pit burial" for the poorer persons—that is, of piling cof fins upon one another in common graves twenty feet deep ; end as to the middle and higher classes, the rates of vaults and tombs. On the part of the Gene ral Board of Health, professional witnesses were in attendance to prove that the outlays for works had been m ismanaged. Among the witnesses were Si r Joseph Paxton, who, it appeared, had been consulted in relation to the preparation of a national cemetery, and was ready to give evidence that superior cemete ries, of the same size, might at any time have been constructed and laid out at far less than the companies stated that they bad expended upon them. Various medical witnesses were in attendance, prepared, it was stated, to substantiate the Board's condemnation on the sanitary grounds set forth in their report of the practice of burial in pits or in vaults. But Sir Frederick Thesiger declined caning any witnesses, and rested his case on the evidence elicited in the course of the cross-examination, that the companies, though established many years, paid only small divi dends ; and that the real test of the value of the works proposed to be taken, and the compensation to be given, was not what they cost, but what they would sell for in the market ; in short, the sale price of the shares up to the time when it was proposed to discontinue the practice of intramural interment, and before the Act was passed. The award of the umpire, Mr. Barnes Peacock, now officially notified, was, for the two : As compensation for the Brompton Ceme- X. try, for which 168,7621. 12s. Bd. was claimed by the company, and 43,8361. offered on behalf of the public 74,921 14 For the Nunhead Cemetry, for which 99,3491. was claimed by the company, and 39,871/. offered by the Board of Health on behalf of the public ...... 42,153 13 Total .......... 117,075 7 being 151,0361. ss. Bd. less than was claimed, and coming within the rate of the estimate presented by the General Board of Health to Parliament. So far as these two cases go they are in accordance with the view that the trading companies have no claims to prospective profits, founded on the assump tion that intramural interments would be discontinued without making any provision for the public, and that it is not the amount which may have been expended, whether wastefully or otherwise, which is to form a basis for compensation , but the actual worth o f th e property, as shown by the dividend and the pri ces o f shares at the time the change was proposed. — Sunday Pa-_ per.
