Accounts from Hindostan contain the mention of another mutiny among the soldiers of the NIZAM. The announcement of this new embarrassment to that unfortunate Sovereign, while reminding us of his questionable position in reference to the supreme authori;ies at Calcutta, elucidates to our comprehen sion only the more clearly and the more explicitly the cause of his great financial involvement. His treasury has naturally, or we should rather say, ine vitably, suff-red from the preposterous system so long practised in the dominions of the Dekkan—the custom of supporting an enormous army for no earthly rea son whatever, an army, the maintenance of which has exceeded the capabilities of the resources of the country, and are consequently on that very account perpetually ripe for rebellion. The folly of this egregious act of military extravagance on the part of the NJZAM becomes only the more apparent when it is considered that while his superfluous troops are continually in arrears as to their pay, the large dis bursements requisite for the bolstering up of this profligate system of administration precludes the ruler of the Dekkan from transmitting to the Com pany the periodical instalments of the contingent. For the sake, therefore, of upholding a vast and unwieldy body of soldiers, this mistaken or ill-advised Monarch has been aimultaneou sly undermining his interests in two directions ; he has been giving a handle to the two-edged sword of intrigue and insurrection, while his annual defalcations have been leading more and more directly to his estrangement from the British-Indian Government. A merely superficial glance at the history of the Asiatic peninsula during the last half -century will be sufficient to demonstrate beyond all contradiction the justice of our claims upon the Nizalt of the Dekkan and the shamelessness of his repeated evasions of the contingent. About the close of the last . , or the com mencement of the present, century, the ruler of those immense and fruitful dominions col lectively designated the Dekkan recognised the absolute and imperative necessity of supporting his state (by some judicious alliance) against the incur sions of the more powerful and predatory hordes of Hindostan. Against the formidable strength of the Mabrattas e specially it was essential that some such bulwark should be erected. To that end a treaty was formally entered into with the Company's Go vernment, whereby the latter was pledged to defend the NIZAM from destruction, receiving as a just equivalent for so doing a certain stipulated contingent. In no respect has it ever been pretended that the amount of this contingent could be regarded as extortionate. But for the acquiescence of the councils of Calcutta in this arrangement the Dekkan must very speedily have been overrun and parcelled out amongst its conquerors. But for the sustaining friendship of England the NIZAM must speedily have been deprived alike of his revenues, his sceptre, and his dominions. Already the preliminary bitterness of this partition had been tasted by the Su bandar. For it cannot be forgotten by his successor that after his ignominious defeat at Kindlah a quarter of his territories was ceded to the Mahrattas as the only means of preserving the rest from absorption. Be sides these most dangerous antagonists, the NIZAM had to maintain a bold front against one yet more detested and formid Able, the great and redoubtable, the daring and at that time yet unconquered Tirroo. Surrounded by this accumulation of perils, he looked at length to the arms of the victorious Company for aid against an otherwise unavoidable annihilation. That aid was furnished. The tide of disasters was turned northwards. Tirroo himself was over thrown. The power of the terrible Mahrattas was broken. And year by year the enemies of the Dekkan were driven back until tran. quillity (comparatively speaking) has been car ried to the northernmost frontiers of the Punjeub, to the farthest boundaries of Sinde, and the feet of the Himalayas. During all this period the Company's Government has had to fight desperate bat tles, to pass through the fiery ordeal of many terrible campaigns, to lavish the gold of their coffers and the blood of their best and bravest soldiers on a cause which, while it was their own, was also incontestably the cause of the NIZAM. Yet throughout the whole of this momentous interval of fifty years, throughout the memorable half century which has elapsed since the treaty of 1800, the treaty pledg ing the Company to the defence -of the Milos, and requiring the NIZAM, in his turn, to furnish a moderate contingent to the Company, the last mentioned stipulation has been only sparingly and intermittently performed. During the first and second war against the Mahrattas, for example, the number of the troops furnished by the ruler of the Dekkan was miserably disproportioned to that which should have been actually forthcoming. Instead of 9,000 horse and 6,000 foot soldiers, as was originally arranged by the convention, a force of scarcely 4,000 was furnished as the NIZAM'S complement. Calculating the omitted eleven thousand at the rate of 40 rupees per man and horse per month, it may be recognised very readily how enormous has been the defalcation of the Dekkan when its evasion of the contingent has been at once so large and frequent. To pretend, as the defenders of the NIZAM do pretend, that he has been exempted from all necessity of following out the provisions of the treaty, in consequence of the fact that his do minions are no longer endangered by the contiguity of the Mahrattas, of TIPPOO SAID, or of any other vigorous and unfriendly neigh bours, is clearly absurd. So far from that cir cumstance furnishing the SOVEREIGN of the Dekkan with reasons for any such exemption, it does exactly otherwise. It only renders the fulfilment of the treaty of 1800 more binding than ever upon the NlZAM—seeing that while he himself has been such a shameless and perpetual defaulter, the Company's Government has been true to the very letter of their agreement; while the contingent has been withheld, the cause of such compensation has only been gra dually increasing, the power of England having driven far from the frontiers of the NIZAM', territory the hostile ranks at one period threatening its destruction. With all sym pa thy, therefore, for the embarrassing position of that Oriental Monarch, we can not but feel a deep and abiding indignation at his faith lessness to our friendly Government, at his dereliction of all honourable principles in evading the payment of the contingent, and at his insane defiance of all economy in finance, and of all policy in administration, by keeping up a military force, for ever draining his exchequer, and for ever acting as the hotbed for sedition. Carrying on his councils in this manner, he has brought his revenue to the very verge of bankruptcy, a revenue at one time yielding no less than three crorea or millions sterling. He has, in addition to all this, been, as it were, systematically estranging himself from the Company's Government. And to crown the enormous folly of his proceedingg, he ha: been now, for some time, reposing his confidence not in the advice of some sagacious Minister, but in the fa natical ravings of some holy dery isb, supposed to been. ligh'ened by the wisdom of celestial or diabolic visions, deriving his hopes of extrication out of existing diffi culties from the suggestions of the ghastly Dives, or the hint of the gigantic Afiites. Such being the disastrous fashion after which the affairs of the NIZAM are conducted, we can only look with increased and increasing solicitude to the chances of an ultimate reconciliation between himself and the Company's Government. The public attention has recently been strongly directed to the painful fact that crimes of the most atrocious character are decidedly on the increase, and that the time has arrived when some vigorous and energetic measures must be adopted for its repres sion. We have always been taught that " prevention is bettyr than punishment," that it is far better to in- sure obedience to the law than to inflict the most stringent penalties on thole by whom it may be violated. The murder at Frimley has afforded a melancholy proof that in various parts of the country there is no adequate protection for person or property ; and, also, that persons accustomed to the habitual commis sion of petty offences will readily involve themselves in any further atrocity if obstructed or impeded in their nefarious proceeding , . It has also brought to liAht numerous offvnces that had previously been passed sub silentio, or which bad at least been but little heard of beyond the limits of the various localities in which they had been perpetrated. We now receive with asto niahment the information that in a Lingle district (Godalming) there had been no less than eighteen cases of burglary, accompanied with violence, since March last, and from another locality it is stated that " last winter as many as 30 houses were entered and several others attempted within a circumference of 15 miles"—that " not merely plate, watches, but bulky clocks, carpeting, clothing, and any furniture of mode- rate portability" were carried off. The neighbourhocd was alarmed, individual precautions were taken in the way of procuring additional firearms, new bolts and fastenings to their doors, and alarm bells, &c., but no combined movement was either for the purpose of arresting the mischievous desperadoes, or preventing, or even impeding their future operations. A practical im punity was afforded to the offenders, who revelled on the gains of their infamous practices, and laughed at the consternation they excited. The ordinary pre cautions of their iniquitous trade were dispensed with ; they openly reconnoitered the scenes of their intended operations on the very days when they were to be visited, and made inquiries at the surrounding cottages. The apathy and su pineness of the authorities inspired them with the fullest confidence, and induced them to pro ceed openly, and almost without concealment. Nothing less than a sanguinary murder could awaken the dreamers from their tranquil slumbers, or induce them to take active measures to bring this untoward state of affairs to a termination. That has unfortu nately been committed, and now there is a wide spread panic, and a demand for the immediate adop tion of the most stringent remedies and the passing of new enactments suited to the extent of the emer gency. Various suggestion?, well worthy of serious con sideration, have already been put forward, and among others, by an esteemed correspondent (Mr. RIGBY WASON), two of whose admirable letters, to the Home Secretary, on this important subject have al ready appeared in our columns, to which we ear nestly invite the attt ntion they so eminently merit. But we would venture to remind the community that some time must elapse before a legislative re medy can be applied to the disease, end tht►t the long and dreary nights of winter —the season when such transactions are of most frequent occurrence—are rapidly approaching. They must, therefore, fur the time being rely upon their own exertions for safety, and make the beat use of the materials within their reach. It will not be sufficient to grumble or complain of the negligence of the au thorities, if they do not strive to excite the vigilance of the magistrates and constabulary of the vicinity and if that is not practicable, then to co-operate cor dially tcgether for mutual protection. "Union is strength ;" and wherever a local association is formed for the purpose of actively pursuing and bringing offenders to justice, we venture to assert that the distrust will be preserved from out rage, that the existing law of the land will be found sufficient if duly and strenuously brought into ope ration. And first, it is of the utmost importance that a warm reception should in every instance where it is practicable be given to the intended robbers. A burglar taken in the fact, or driven from the premises without accomplishing his purpose, will have a greater moral effect than if ten were arrested after the lapse of a few days, when they had es caped with their booty. The salutary example afforded by the faithful servants of Mr. lIOLFORD, at the Regent's-park, was of the most valuable cha racter. Oae was seized red-handed, and another seriously wounded. These premises will be safe from further attack even from the most desperate banditti. There will be no intrusion on the house in which the trustworthy JAMES PAUL, Or GEORGE BENNETT, Or Jonri HALL—men who showed themselves prepared to risk their own lives for the protection of their master's property—are resident. Burglars are essen tially cowardly. They are well aware that if a con flict should take place, they must fight with " ropes about their necks," and they will carefully eschew such dangerous pastime. They will only visit houses where they hope to instil terror into the inmates, and to enforce a speedy obedience to their demands. Whenever, therefore, the adult male inhabitants of a house are sufficiently numerous, they should be fully prepared with weapons offensive and defensive, and have their plans fully matured, in case of any attack, so as to repel the assailants, and at the same time give warning to the entire neighbourhood. Organized bodies should also be formed, who, on hearing the slightest alarm, would hasten to the scene of danger, and not only afford the required assistance to their neighbours, but be ready to assume the offensive in turn' and to fullow up the tracks of the offenders without a naornent'ehdelay. These are the first steps to be taken, and when they have been completed, it will be not only advisable, but absolutely necessary, to ex amine carefully the means by which every description of crime can be prevented, and the perpetrators brought to exemplary punishment. We believe that this may be done without infringing upon the liberty of the subject, or regarding mere suspicion as equiva lant to proof. Under excitement, such as now pre vails, persons are too apt to look only to the danger they desire to avoid, and are not cautious enough as to the nature of the precautions to be adopted; thus the remedy will frequently prove worse than the disease, and we may find that in " shunning Scylla, we may fall into Charybdis." This must be avoided, and the utmost care must be taken in our efforts to attain this great desideratum. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 19, 1850. Presidency of the Union for eventual assistance in the case of irolongation of anarchy. A body of executive troops marched from Gotha to Coburg on the 7th, and Union troops are also expected." A letter from Hanover of the 14th states that the Ministry Stiive had resigned in a body, and that their resignations had been accepted by the KING. M. LINDEMANN, the chief burgomaster of Luneburg, had been entrusted with the formation of a new Cabinet, which will be favourable to the line of policy followed by Austria. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The following is the short order cf the day issued by General KEOGH to his army, relative to the defence of Friedrichbtadt " Schleswig, Oct. 7. " The enemy made several desperate efforts, prepared and supported by a quantity of he avy artillery, to carry and possess himself of, and drive us from our works at, Friederichstad t. •' The garrison under the command of their brave commander, Lieutenant. Colonel liclgeson, honourably repulsed their attacks. The endurance, contempt of death, and the true soldier spirit which was rcanifea-d during the fiercest moments of the assault, deserve to be held up as a brilliant example. " The army and its General thank their brave com rades, the defenders of Friedrichstadt. (Signed) " KROGU." The town of Friedrichstadt is completely destroyed, there is not a single inhabitant in it. The Borsenhalle says that Prussia has addressed a note to Russia, England, and Austria, relative to the arrangement between those powers to interfere, by force if necessary, to put a stop to the hostilities of Denmark and the Duchies. In this note Prussia takes her stand on the protest she made against the protocol of London, and repudiates foreign interfer ence in a question purely German, as well as on the question of the succession of the Duchies, which, she states, would be contrary to the rights of Germany. MONEY and COMMERCJAL NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was steady, and closed with rather more animation. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales.—ln Railway Shares a fair amount of business was transacted at steady quotations. The amount of the Bank of England note circulation was increased last week, but this was not the result of any extension of loans on " other securities," but of the usual appropriation from the " rest" for the dividend due on Bank Stock. The public and private deposits pretty nearly balanced each other as respects Increase and decrease, but there was a repayment of loans made for the period of the shutting which caused a diminution under the head of " other securities." The reserve of notes was diminished to some extent, and also the bul lion. The return under notice is to the 12th instant, and therefore does not come down to the date of the dividend payments, which will cause the next weekly statement to show important changes. Compared with the previous week, the following alterations are exhi bited:— ... 29,698,405 ... 133,080 3,059,794 Decrease ... 506 342 Public Deposits ... ... 10,694,649 Increase 41,712 Other Deposits 8,850,077 Decrease ... 49,213 Seven Day and other Bills 1,31ii,576 Increase ... 9,015 Government Securities, ... no alteration Other Securities ... 13,194,789 De crease ... 194,789 Notes ... „. 10,231,025 Decrease ... 296,010 Bullion ... ... 16,305,050 Decrease .. 147.109 Active Circulation 19,467,380 Increase ... 162,930 The exchanges upon the principal continental cities were lower again yesterday afternoon, that is, against the merchants having bills to dispose of. This is a matter that has attracted some attention lately, the de cline having been continuous ; and although there is ab solutely nothing in it to excite uneasiness, it certainly betokens the action of some adverse cause which, whe ther temporary or likely t•-) be of duration, deserves re mark. It has been stated in explanation, that certain financial operations have been pending in aid of one or two leading Governments, and that this throws more paper upon the market, besides drawing away specie ; otherwise with the large arrivals we have had recently from South America and distant parts there would, doubtless, have been a fuller amount in the Bank of England, as we have not taken such heavy supplies lately of foreign grain as to render it out of our power to liquidate the same to the greater extent by barter. This may be the correct solution of an apparent pro blem, since it is notorious that Russia, Austria, and other states have been severely tried in their resources, and have little chance of obtaining loans at home. The quotations for ninety days' paper have been as fol lows :—Paris, 25 4211 to 47i ; Antwerp, 25 421 to 45 ; Hamburgh, 13 91 to 4 ; Frankfort, 119f i to a ; and Trieste, 12 4to 8. It may be observed, that so far as the mere partihg with two or three millions of bullion is concerned, the Bank would experience actual relief and increase of profit, though every one likes to see a high amount in its coffers, and looks about inquiringly when it dwindles. Notes Issued Decrease Rest The weekly i;ilway traffic returns show, in the ma jority of instances, a smaller amount of increase over the corresponding period of 1849 than upon some pre vious occasions recently ; but this important truth yet stands prominently forward—there is an increase, and no slight one either, while the additional mileage comes steadily into play as a productive power, instead of an absorbent of the profits of the existing trunk lines. There has been submitted to the attention of compe tent judges in the City certain elucidations of book keeping, in so far as the principles of " balancing" are concerned, that seem to afford a very useful guide to the younger officials in mercantile establishments. The writer (Mr. G. W. Boulter, who is a practical man) states, " that be has been frequently applied to for his assistance in balancing a set of books. The applicants, in such cases, have been mostly young clerks, who having managed to keep a set of books, with tolerable accuracy, have yet, when called upon to balance the ledger, found themselves incompetent. This incompe tency arises from various causes, but chiefly from their not baying thoroughly studied the principles of book keeping. An idea exists that a young man should not learn book-keeping until he enters a counting-house, and that when once he gets into an office he will soon • pick up' the necessary knowledge. There cannot be a more erroneous idea, as a clerk who trusts to this method of learning book-keeping soon discovers, for although the details may vary, yet the general prin ciples of book-keeping must be the same in every busi ness; and unless these general principles are well un derstood the young book-keeper cannot balance his books correctly. These general principles, therefor.,, should be thoroughly studied, either under a teacher or from some of the many works written on the subject. Having done so, the young clerk may then reasonably expect to be able to balance his ledge."_ The author then illustrates the Method of" getting the balance," always a tedious and dreaded operation in mer cantile houses, in the subjoined manner:— " In the ledger we find two distinct classes of account, the one showing the trader's assets and liabilities, as in single entry, and the other showing bie gains and losses, as peculiar to the a 3 stem of double entry. To the for mer class belong the accounts of ' cash,' bills receivable, bills payable, William Bone, and Charles Nixon; and 'to the latter class belong the accounts of cotton, merchan dise, adventure to New York, sugar per Vixen, wine in Co., charges, and commission. By these two classes of accounts wo are able to prove the correctness of the ledger. From the former class we find that T. Dent is worth 2,485 Z; now, this amount should be equal to the amount of his original capital and his gains. From the second class of accounts we find he has gained 48.5/., and this, added to his original capital, 2,0001, does equal our former result, thus proving the accuracy of cur ba lance. Hence the process of balancing this ledger con sists in collecting together the assets and liabilities, and the gains and losses. The former are collected into the balance account, and the gains and losses into an account termed profit and loss." An attempt is making in the City to supply a want much felt, viz., an " Universal Club of till Nations," several influential firms having promised their support. The accounts from Manchester report a little more doing for India in textile fabrics, but otherwise no acti- vity, — The Leeds market was rather dull, but an average business was doing for the season. At Bradford trade was tolerably active. The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 17th was firm. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 561. Spanish Bonds were without alteration, and Peruvian Deferred higher again. _ _ The exports of bullion, direct from London this week, and to Thursday last, comprised 132,472 ounces of silver, and 18 ounces and 1004 of gold, chiefly to Holland and B,lgium.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. Both Republican and Legitimatiat journals com ment in severe terms on what they term the cowardice of the Commission of Permanence in not taking notice of the publication in the official Moniteur,by order of the Government, of the article in the Constitutionnel, which reflected so severely on the Committee for the I esolution which they had come to on the subject of the review at Sstory, and which, in fact, dared them to the conflict. The National, in an article on this subject signed by M. LEOPOLD DURAS, makes some curious revelations regarding the manner in which the foreign correspondence and leaders of the English reactionary journals are concocted, and which will enable persons on this side the Chahnel to rate henceforth such cor respondence at its true value. " The Committee," says the National, "as if ashamed of its act of Friday last, bows the head and accepts the affront. Who knows ? Its members, perhaps, even feel grateful to the Constitutionnel for having defended them against the outrageous articles dispatched from Paris to the London journals, and complacently reproduced this morning by the organ of the Elysile: The Journal des Debats has the following:— " The Permanent Committee of the National As sembly bad another sitting 3 esterday. N. Mole was present, but the number of members was by no means ,!onsideruble. An opposition evening journal mentions rumour that great dissatisfaction was expressed at the republication in the Maniteur of an article of the Con ,trtutionnel reflecting strongly o❑ the Committee, but the Putiie states that nothing serious took place at the ,itting." The Assemblie National and the Ordre have been prohibited in the barracks and military establish ments. It is said that negotiations are on foot to endeavour to patch up a reconciliation between the Peachums and the Lockits of the reactionary party, on the basis of a renewal of the PRESIDENT'S power for four years. We do not attach much credit to this rumour, more particularly when we find in the Union such a para graph as the following : " We have never doubted for a moment the devoted ness of Louis Napoleon to the safety of France. We have ever believed that he would know how to forget nis own personality in presence of the great duty that he has sworn to accomplish. But the day when he would allow himself' to be so led away as toput his own personal interest in place of that of the public be would conspire against his proper glory without profiting his ambi t i on. We hope that he will persevere in the good line of con .luct which has hitherto so happily succeeded." _ The meaning of this is rendered still more clear by a declaration, signed by M. ALFRED DE NETTEMENT, declaring that the Legitimatiets are unanimous in Their determination not to consent to any extension of the PRESIDENT'S powers. We are much more inclined to credit the rumour that the differences between the Bonapartists and the Bourbonists are becoming more and more difficult of reconciliation, and that M. VERON is preparing fur the Conslilutionnel a furious attack on General CHANGARNIER. It was at one time pro posed in the Cabinet that the PRESIDENT should an ticipate any decision at which the Committee of Permanence might arrive by at once convoking the Assembly, but the idea has been abandoned. A detachment of the line took possession on 'Wed nesday of the military post at the Mairie of Munt matre, which had been previously occupied by the National Guard. A number of workmen are employed in fixing a wire from the Bastille to the Madeleine, as an expe riment for a new company that hat proposed to estab lish an electric telegraph throughout Paris for the transmission of messages.

The Elector of HEssE has dismissed 1 14188ENPFLU G and his colleagues, and has charged ETRERB with the constitution of a new Ministry. But whil e th e ELECTOR is rec over i n g his senses, it appears that poor old HAYNAU, his deputy in Cassel, has completely lost his. The Cologne Gazette of the 17th says that General HAYNAII pretends that on the night of the 14th an angel appeared to him, and commanded him to con tinue to act as he had previously done ! All Cassel was talking of the vision, which would be highly amusing if the aspect if affairs were not so serious. The Berlin papers state that both England and France have protected against any interference either by the Diet or by Austria in the affairs of Hesse Cassell. The Cologne Gazette of the 17th has the following: " The Austrian Government is once more disquieted on the question of the Hungarian refugees in Turkey. The Porte has resolved to shelter them no longer, but to give them their passports. The Austrian Ambas sador in Constantinople, therefore, renewed his repre sentations, and insists, as before, that Austria has a right to demand their being delivered up. According to the Pesth Morgenblatt, the former Hungarian Minister of War, Messaroa, is in Turkey, in very distressed circum stances." • The Berlin Constitutionelle of the 14th has the " The — Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha ha, applied to the TURKEY. _ - A letter from Smyrna, of the 30th ult., states that another revolt has broken out in the island of Samos. According to an official report to the Servian Government, the Bulgarian deputation sent to Con stantinople have obtained the following concessions: 1. All the Bulgarians who have been imprisoned but not fuund culpable shall be sat at liberty. 2. Most of the functionaries shall be dismissed, and replaced by others who shall be recommended by the inhabitants. 3. All soccage is abolished. No one can be com pelled to deliver wood, coals, or any other articles. 4. The Spahis (Turkish cavalry soldiers), when collecting the tithes, shall not accept from the people anything but water. They shall, like all travellers, take their meals at the hotel. 5. Mahometan priests are forbidden to receive any converts to the Mussulman faith, without the consent of their families. 6. Christians shall possess the same right as Mus sulmen to give evidence. RESCHID PACHA, who was the bearer of these laws, was received with enthusiasm by the Christian popu lation of Nissa. Since his arrival he has ordered these laws to be published and put into force. ITALY. Six persons were shot at Rome on the 9th, for crimes alleged to have been committed during the Republic. The executioners were the soldiers of the POPE. Not a single French soldier was permitted to leave his barracks until after the execution was over. M. PINELLI reached Florence, on his way back to Turin, on the 11th inst. The Risorgimento says his mission to Rome has been entirely fruitless. THE BANQUET AT YORK.—M. Soyer has arrived at York, and is busily engaged in carrying out his splendid decorations of the Guildhall and preparing the grand banquet to the Lord Mayor of London, which it is reported will be on a scale of great magnificence. His Grace the Duke of Bedford on Wednesday last visited the new structure at Sutton Marsh. The old bridge is now in process of demolition, and will soon be entirely removed; it is expected that the effect of the removal will be to deepen the channel of the river between Wisbech and the Cutfall below the Wash.—Lincolnshire Chronicle. PURE WATEE.-Mr. Lamplough, the chemist, of Snow-hill, has recently taken out a patent for the cheap supply of pure water to cities and towns. The object is to be accomplished -by means of syphons, which will convey the water from one point to another in pipes or tubes composed of glass, porcelain, gutta-percha, or any other material. He states that this system may be carried out to an unlimited extent, and a constant stream of pure water be delivered, with very little expense, at a considerable dis tance from the springs with which the pipes or tubes commu nicate. Mr. C. S. Grey, one of the private secretaries of Lord John Russell, who has served for a long period in the Treasury, has received the appointment of Paymaster of Civil Services in Ireland, lately held by Mr. Kennedy, one of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests. THE LATE QUEEN OF THE BELGIANS.—A. solemn religious service was offered up on Thursday lbr the late Queen of the Belgians, in the Roman Catholic church of St. George's. Southwark. The church was hung with black, and the dirge incidental to such obsequies was chanted by the full choir. CAUTION TO GAPERS.-011 Saturday an old woman named Henson, residing in Nottingham union workhouse, dislocated her jaw whilst in the act of yawning. Mr. Worth, the medical officer, was quickly in attendance, but all at tempts to replace the jaw were unavailing, until chloroform was administered, when it was placed in its proper position without pain or difficulty. On Sunday, John Bill of Forest Side, aged 21, had his jaw dislocated from the same cause. He, however, applied at the dispensary, and was soon re lieved from the inconvenience occasioned by the accident.— Notts Guardian. A POACHER SHOT BEAR MANSFIELD.—A notorious poacher named Carter, belonging to the Sutton gang, was found by two keepers in a field near Kirkby yesterday ( Wed nesday) afternoon, shot through the side, and with his clothes on fire. What makes the matter more strange, the stock of his gun was on one side of him and the barrel at some dis tance on the other. At present nothing has transpired to account for his death, but we shall give the particulars of the inquest next week.—Nottingh am Guardian. RATHER COOL.—Yesterday morning, a hardened criminal, named APlntosh, against whom a multiplicity of convictions are recorded in the police-books, was again sent to prison for sixty days, having been found walking off with another person's great coat, in the coolest manner imagin able. He had somehow procured access to the station of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, and probably seeing nothing of a more valuable and moveable nature lying about, quietly lifted the coat off one of the breaksmen, and endeavoured to make his escape with it unobserved, or at lea s t unquestioned. His audacity did not meet with the good luck on which he had calculated. The theft was discovered, and he was at once handed over to the police.—Glasgow Daily Mail of Thursday. NEW HOLLAND.—New Holland is likely to be come an important railway co l ony, ranking with Crewe, on the Grand Junction; Wolverton, on the North-Western; and some others. A row of houses was first erected for the accommodation of the railway officials, called the Yarbo rough-terrace ; but east and w est wings have been added, and now it is designated Pump- square. B esides the i com pany's houses, private individuals are building-terraces, which arc no sooner erected than tenants are immediately obtained, so that cottage-building here seems t o b e a profit able speculation. It is arranged, and plans are drawn, and about 500/. is promised to build a Sunday-sohool, which for some time is to be used also as a chapel-of-ease to Barrow, packet st a ti on, b ut w i thout suc by the mpetus of rail ways , i s lik e l y to for the accommodation of the n ew railway colonists.

BUCKERELL AGRICULTURAL MEETING.—An agri cultural meeting was held on Thursd a y at Buckerell, near Honiton, at which Mr. Justice Patteson was present.' His health having been proposed, the Learned Judge, in the course of his acknowledgments, said that th ere seem ed t o b e an outcry for a return to protection. Not being a politician, and not being conversaexntpenwietnlice in the tshuebjaeffa ct,irsheofwtahse world t rid a judge whether it was right to return to it, or w h e th er th ere was any great probability that there would be a return to it. t N h o in t g on e l l y se, ,heioxwteyvyere,ai?en, that particular thing, but on every had taught him this—that when a point was once acceded and given up, it was hardly likely they could return to it.— (A Voice, "It i s no t given up.' ) Of this, h owever, he as quite sure—it was not wisdom to speculate upon returning to things as they had been, but to make the best of things as they were, and endeavour to meet the difficulty.—(Partial cheers.) He was glad to hear Mr. Porter (th e c h a i rman) speak of throwin g sma ller fields into one, increasing drainage, and abolishing the rude banks for which the county was pe culiwarh.en heHe waswen went out a shooting, particularly interested of whline which lie w e la a sv ey fond, question, r for he found them very troublesome, as he had to crawl up and down, and once he had the misfortune to put his knee in a wasp's nest.—(Laughter and cheers.) CULTIVATE TASTE IN THE YOUNG.—It is of great importance that the young should be encouraged in the pur suit of objects, whether of instruction or amusement, whi c h are in accordance w ith goo d t a ste. If this feeling be encou raged, the best resu lt s may b e expected; it will deter them from following any coarse or ill-regulated inclination, and will give a n e l egant an d en lightened bias to their minds. The improvement of taste seems to be more or less connected with every good and virtuous disposition. By giving fre quent exercise to all the tender and humane passions, a cul tivated taste increases sensibility, yet, at the same time, it tends to soften the more violent and angry emotions.—Eliza Cook's Journal. PusEYITE DIVISION.—The split among the Puseyltes is confirmed. The Rev. Mr. Palmer proposed to the Bristol "Church Union" to adopt a declaration that would have excluded the Romanizing portion of its members; but the majority d ec id e d aga i nst hi m , and he and hi s f r i end have formed a rival Church Union for Somersetshire. The ultras held a meeting in London on Tuesday, Wh en Dr. Pusey took the principal part, and by Jesuitical speech of great persuasiveness induced the meeting to reject Mr. Palmer's declaration unanimously. The Doctor declared his intention to die in the Church of England: we believe the secret thought of many Churchmen (by no means of homicidal temper) will be —" the sooner the better." Dr. Hook (who would svmpathise with Mr. Palmer) now finds himself one of the 10 - wer section of High Churchmen.—. Leeds Mercury. The Rev. G. C. Gorham has ben ill, as reported in the local journals; but we are happy to say that the worthy gentleman is considerably better. It will be gratify ing to the friends of the Great Champion to know that he has received the kindest attentions from his parishioners, and that service has been performed for him by a neighbouring clergyman, who has not been deterred from exercising the duties of Christian charity, notwithstanding the ban which has been fulminated against all who hold communication with the ill-used vicar of Brampford Speke.— Western Times.
