NOTES AND NOTIONS ON THE GREAT an LEGER. (Continued from No. CXX.) TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE SUN. • SlR,—Since marking down the list of horses from which the field would be selected for the St. Leger, I have received information (tom Ireland to the effect that another horse would in all probability be added to those I gave yesterday as the representatives of the Irish. in terest, in Sir Thomas Burke's chesnut son of Birdcateter and Whim, generally known to the world as the Brother to Ohanticleerrdtiring the past week at the Curragh,'he swept a couple of stakes, Waterford Post, or about a mile and a quarter, with the greatest ease; winning the first, a fast and true run race, by a clever length ;• and the second easily from end to end, beating Blucher, among others, cud clearing the chair in a canter by two lengths. His chance, however, on this side of the Chan nel, I take it, is somewhat. obscure. The following may be set down as the probable andslubious starters, viz.:— Probable—Hear: Breaker, Lough Bawn, Clasher, Hip polytus, Cr.seus, The Prime • Mini4ter, Aphrodite, The Ban, Hothorpe, Lemartine, llernandeZ, Newminster, serrima, Knonk - Knoll, Azetb, The Calculator, and EpheSus. Dubious—Brother to Chanticleer, Midas, Bun me Dundee, Grosvenor, Exeter, The Confessor, Grecian, First Fruits, Constellation, Sir Rowland Treuchard, Mountain Deer, Storm, and. Gholab Singh. Of the latter lot those in italics are the most likely to: figure at the post. Of late years, whenever a good field has gone to the post for this great northern race, the lIIISii'LOT _ . has' generally s9nt forth a rattling favourite, and in two instances the winner, so I will lead off my comments with the trio *ern the Sister Isle, - beginning with Mr. Disney's b c CLASHER, by Launcelot, out of Clincher's dam. Ho comes of a good stock, is a tidy looking animal, and, in all probability, will run torward'in the race ; the only drawback to his chance that I am` aware of 'being, that at the pace the Leger will probably be run, he will not be able 40 stay the distance. I have already given my opinion of the BROTHER 'lO CHANTICLEER'S chance,. I may add, however, that he can Hie a tidy pace, and get the distance, but. I'm very much afraid 'he'd find the company too good for him. Mr. Hesieitino's eh c LOUGH BAWN, brother to Strychnine, by Magpie, out of Surprise, has been backed very considerably of late at the list-houses, and is a great pet with a large portion of the small dabblers in the odds; ho is reported a certain starter, is possessed of groat staying powers, is somewhat stilty in his stride, not. particularly fast,-ia doing good work, is by no manner of means a showy animal, and, although very likely to do a " good thing" .some of these days in a two-mite handicap, yet, in my opinion. stands but little Chance of distinguishing himself on Wednesday week, although for friend Bob's saki I hope he may, for I'm sure it must be his turn to have a trump card in the Leger lottery. There is another ani mal that perhaps ought to be classed under - the Irish lot; -his parentage, however, is bat balf-and-half, being by an Irish sire out of on English dam. I allude to Mr. Mee- son's br a FIRST FRUITS, .by Faugh-a-ballagh, dam by Pantaloon, out of Basilisk, said to be uncommonly like his sire. About this animal I know but little, therefore cannot say much either pro or con; his starting, how ever, I believe is somewhat uncertain, consequently bis chitnce of winning cannot be very 'great. Any gletip ingx_that may come to hand respecling him I will make linosvn at 6, tutureperiod. Having disposed of the Irish lot, I will turn to the English division, and commence with'the Danebury batch, - JOHN DAY'S LOT, _ _ which consists of the following notables,—Hothorpe, Greoian and Lamartine. Mr. b o HOTHOEPE, by Cothcrstone out of. Liberty, I will dizpose of in a few words. He is overrated in the market, and, instead of being at 10 or 12 to 1, dught to be about 1,000 to 30; be is, at least such is my opinion, what is termed a " book horse," and stands about as much chance 'Of beating his • stable companion, Lamartine, its any of those members of the feline species who rejoice in the cog. of Tom would. He is doing good work. Mr. Howard's GRECIAN, by Epirus, out of Jenny Jumps, one of the great guns of last winter for this year's Derby, after having 1:e en backed t' win an immense stake for that event - , was found, one fine morning in April, to be dead lame, and all his backers' hopes scattered to the, winds. He has ever since been quietly boxed up for the St.' Leger, end within tue last few !weeks been backed to win a goodly staket his understandings, however, one of the hind ones in particular, are uncommonly dicky, and the consequence is that he is doing but so-so work. I cannot tee how a cripple is to beat such cattle as . will be brought against him at Doncaster. Had Grecian been what he %MS as .a two years old, he would have won in a canter. Mr. Powney's ch C LAHARTINE, by Epirus, - out of Grace Darling, with a good jock up—Alfred Day, for instance —will show the field .the way to the Red House in style; and if he can but stay the distance,lis pace being unde niable, he will show the cracks the pull of his HEROIC relationship, .by giving them their work to do. He is doing strong work. I think it will be found on the day that Lamartine is"the best ofJohn Day's lot. I am, Sir, : yours, . THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. Sept. 6, 1851. (To be concluded on Monday.)

FIFTEEN OF SHEFFIELD. —This • match -was brought to its- conclusion on Wednesday night, at the Hyde-park Ground, Shef field. As is usual upon there occasions at Sheffield, the town turned out nearly the whole of its inhabitants, all of whom wended their way up the heights to Hyde-park, which, as we have in former years stated, is the most singularly-beautiful situated .ground in the kingdom. The Sheffielders were unsuccessful this time, or rather they were well beaten, for the Eleven won in one innings by 24 runs. THE INCOME-TAX. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUM Sur,—The commercial community are indebted to you for your opposition to the continuance of that part of the income-tax which is levied on industry. Government no doubt are alarmed at the idea of losing such a source of revenue; but a substitute for this loss seems to me so easily suggested that lam much surprised to observe that no one has pointed out a less objectionable tax. You know that per tonal property, when descending to heirs, is liable to the legacy and probate duty, and that freehold pro perty, similarly situated, is not liable to legacy and probate duty unless the property is ordered to be sold. Now, can you assign any just reason why freehold property should be exempt from a tax which is levied upon personal property ? I trow not ; therefore I would propose that this probate and legacy duty should be levied on freehold property, to compensate for the repeal of the income-tax on industry. Liverpool. I am, Sir: tte. EQUIS. LONDON MECHANICS' , INSTITUTION. Mr. E. Wheeler yesterday delivered electure at this institution on " The His'ory, Principles, and Construction of the Conway and Britannia Tubular Iron Bridges." After some prelimi nary remarks on bridges, Mr. Wheeler addressed himself to an elucidation of the texture and properties of iron, as wit nessed in its resistance to tensile strain and compression. He as first showed the superior strength of cast-iron against a compressing force; of wrought-iron against a tensile strain; and then entered into an account of the experiments tried by Mr. Stephenson at the request of the directors of the Chester and Holyhead Railway, in order to ascertain whether such a bridge required might be successfully . constructed. By the aid of sketches and plans he exhi bited the mode of testing ,resorted to, and the various dif culties which - had)been encountered and overcome. On his models he pointed out the deflections in the tubes, which in various places, and at different times during the expe riments, overweighting had occasioned, reminding his hear ers that the result which they saw in the mass had been ar rived at bit by bit ; and that three years ago truths which they now recognised as simple and almost self-evident were utterly. unknown. After a careful and intelligible illustra tion of the respective strengths of iron bars, rods, and wires, and much enforcement of the importance, in this respect, of a proper disposition of the metal, he described most parti cularly the Conway-bridge, remarking' on the apparent thinness of its sides, made of cast iron only half an inch thick, and then pOinting out the rigidity 'given to them by the iron ribs which , are attached. He next told how the principles elicited from the success of experiments had been applied in the construction of the Conway-bridge, and con cluded by promising to add some details of interest in his next lecture on the same subject. CHARGE AGAINST THE TURNKEYS OP THE KNUTs- FORD House OF -ConnEurtore.—Joseph Leigh, Edward Shore, John Burgess, . and three other turnkeys, were en Saturday last brought up before Trafford Trafford, Esq., and a bench of fourteen magistrates, on a charge of,having acted in concert to employ a prisoner in the gaol to make shoes, &c., on their private account, under a promise to give him 10s. each on his discharge. This promise,- it was alleged, they failed to keep, and the prisoner immediately wrote to Sir George Grey, the Home Secretary, informing him. that during his incarceration he bad been employed by the turnkeys to make shoes for their private use, and that the leather had been supplied from the prison stores., Upon receipt of this letter, Sir George caused an inquiry to be in stituted, and' the result of an examination by Irwin and Douglass, of the constabulary, was the finding of fourteen pairs of new shoes in Shore's house. These shoes bore a private mark of the informer, who had previously made the constables acquainted with it. Several other pairs of shoes were found in the pos,session of the others. The testimony of the informer, and other witnesses, decided the bench to commit all the accused for trial, at the next assizes at Chester. Leigh has been a turnkey for near twenty years, and has a wife and six children. Shore has also a wife 'und four children. One of the prisoners, we are informed, is a nephew of the Governor. Other charges, we understand, were also preferred against the officers of the prison, the nature of which we _are unable to give, owing to the exa minations being conducted with closed doors.—Manchester Guardian.' , • , MUTE OF TED REV. MR. WILKIE.—We have to record the painful intelligence of the death of the Reverend David Wilkie, the respected minister of the East Free con gregation, Forfar, which took place at Liverpool, on Friday evening last. Mr. Wilkie had gone to Liverpool forthe pur pose of soliciting subscriptions to aid in the erection of the new East Free Church. On the Thursday preceeding the day of his .death, he had been on a visit to St. George's Hall. On passing along the interior of the building, he acciden tally • fell down one cf the many openings which are in the corridor and passages, and in the fall be broke his leg. He was immediately conveyed to the infirmary, where he was promptly attended to, and during the whole of that evening seemed to be progressing satisfactorily towards recovery. On Friday, bewever, fever ensued. followed by alarming symp toms, which . terminated fatally that evening. This event has cast a great glooM over the whole town. but especially over the little Bock of Which he had been the pastor only for a short time..—Dundee Warder. _ _ ACCIDENT TO J. R. MULLINGB, EsQ., Tuesday morning, as the Hon. Memi-er for Cirencester was p r oceeding in his gig to attend the Sheriff's Court for the election of coroner, at Cheltenham, he met with an accident which totally prevented his being present. Ho had gone but a short distance up the street, when his horse suddenly took fright and ran off at a furious pace, and shortly after passing the Ram, Mr. Mullicgs, seeing the animal was determined to turn the next corner,' pushed him at all hazards against the shop window in front. • The horse thus controlled jumped right through the window and doorway into the shop, over a child sitting on the steps, who escaped unhurt, dragging the gig with him. Mr. Mullings was thrown by the concus sion with considerable force on the pavement and against the wall; fortunately sustaining but a few severe bruises, which, however, are not of a serious character.—Cheltenham Chronicle. • • • BLOWING UP A CASH SAFE WITH GUNPOWDER.— Between twelve and two o'clock on Monday morning week, the counting house, and vaults of Alderman R. Wilson and Co., spirit merchants, Brumley, were broken open and plun dered. After forcing admittance into the premises, the robbers secured about lU. in cash belonging to a local insti tution, together with several bottles of spirits and porter. They then proceeded to blow open the cash safe with gun powder, anti succeeded in their object, but the explosion ap pears to have been greater than they had calculated upon. It was so terrific that 'not cnly was the safe blown up, but the neighbourhood alarmed, and one of the robbers, it is sup posed, was injured. However that may be, the noise of the explosion, or the personal injury they had themselves sus tained, so scar e d t h e t hi eves t h at t h ey d eca mped without plundering or even exam i n i ng th e sa f e .

The number of household voters has about doubled itself in twenty years, but there has been a considirable decrease in the number of freemen. The decrease in the number of freemen would have been still greater, if the 'regulations of several trades,_ as carpenters, sailmakers,-and'shipWrights, did not require a seven years' apprenticeship previous to working as a johrneyman. In p; into lights there is no difference between the C , iced, 4en pound fiensehtildei i‘nd the freeman; and the exemption from town dues has no,iniltience except with the higher class of freemen. Liverpool Times. SATURDAY EVENING, SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE :MORNING D. ,1 21,1tS Gl' THIS DAY. TiLES be annoyances insepatenle, from any , system of Customs regulations are bed enough with out nay unneceseery agaravation. It is sufficisntly tiresome for a traveller wise has been tossed about ' through a long autumn's night at the mercy of winds unit waves to bo detained for hours at the portals of a kingdom, even if the amount of his luggage should in a manner justify the detention. Bus to those who travel in light marching order—to the man of busi ness with his carpet bag—to the tourist with his campstool and sketching-book, the annoyance is in tolerable. Every minute of delay is stretched out into an hour from a sense of absurdity and injustice of the situation. Now, however; much we may be in the habit tilt uttering complaints lainst the petty ;?wanton and anton procrastination of foreign douaniers, is it quite so clear that we are not throwing stones out 'of glass-houses ? Are our ar rangements, either in .London or at the various outports, so well condtieted e rthat- we are jus tified in holding ourselves ' the eyes of Europe as models of fiscal arrangement and dis patch ? We doubt it'much. Leta traveller from the Continent land where he Will on the British shore from Harwich to Southampton, and he will find an unhappy uniformity of delay and mismanagement. Arrangements which should be of the simplest nature are unnecessarily complicated, without any obvious advantage either to the great bulk of the passengers or to the interests of the Exchequer. Sometimes, as at Dover and Folkestone, there is a shallow pretence of examiniDg a single article belonging to each pas senger ; but we put it to the experience of all per sons who may have availed themselves of this privi lege, if petty delays have not been so idly interposed that in nineteen cases out of twenty they have been compelled to take refuge for the night at some one or other of the extortionate caravanserais with which these parts are thickly studded ? Twenty minutes or half an hour being allowed between the arrival of the boat and the departure of the train, how often does it happen that the most moderate per-centage of the passengers have succeeded in reaching the rail way terminus with the simplest articles of baggage? The Custom-house at London has its own peculiar annoyances. , 'These are, indeed, of a different cha -1 ratter, but yet they are sufficiently distressing to the patient. It does not, indeed, so frequently happen that the scheme of his journey is so violently inter rupted, inasmuch as London in ordinary cases, is the journey's end. .To make up for this comparative benefit, the period of the detention is aggravated in a fourfold degree. The nuisance must be endured by persons who, in all probability, are jaded and worn to an'extreme point of fatigue by the accomplishment of a protracted journey. Their home and their friends may be at hand, but the one they cannot reach and the others they may not behold until they have passed through two hours of dirty purgatory near London-bridge. All this is aggravated by the consciousness that their sufferings are inflicted with no better object than to satisfy , the demands of an extortion so petty that it con tents itself with the amount of a beggar's aims. The trumpery fine is nothing, but the delay is every thing to the over-spent traveller. Far less burden some would it be if a capitation tax were imposed on all passengers who may land at the port of London than this paltry levy of sixpence upon every article of heggege they may clear through the Custom-house. The head-money might be dropped in the hand of the man who takes the tickets, and no delay ensue. The sixpenny impost on the carpet bags and portmanteaus leads to indefinite vexation and delay. We published yesterday a letter from a correspondent, who calls at tention to this contemptible extortion in question and to its coesequences. He, it appears, had started from Boulogne by steamer in company with some 300 passengers. Many of these had no more than a single article of baggage, containing the usual tourist's equipment. Nothing could have been more simple than that the Custom-house officer who boarded the vessel should have examined these trumpery packsges before the vessel arrived at the wharf. A few strips of lead and a pair of pinchers, with the Customs' stamp, would effectually have dis armed all tampering with such baggage after exami naafi:). Tnere is plenty of time between Graysend and London for the performance of all needful solem nities. This may be thought too awful a violation of the traditionary humdrum of the Custom-house. But half a dozen smart searchers could certainly have turned 150 or 200 carpet bags inside out in half an hour after the vessel had been moored to the quay. What was the actual course of the affair ? Every package was twisted from the grip of its astonished owner. U.le'passengers were driven like a flock of sheep into one of the dirty close waiting-rooms of the Custom-house to wait the pleasure of the officials. This pleasure manifested itself, after a long delay, by a summons to ten of the expectant wretches to fight their way through the crowd and struggle up a narrow flight of stairs into a room where the searchers were ready to perform their work. "A few minutes elapsed," writes our correspondent, " ten more are emancipated, and at each fresh departure a scene ensues which reminds one of what we used to call a scrunainage ' in our public schooldays, except that the presence of ladies adds to the excitement and increases the confusion on this occasion." The mind can with diffitulty be brought to admit the necessity of this hubbub and turmoil. The slightest degree of foresight or arrangement would be sufficient to obviate it all: It is not until we are told that the Custom-house officials exact a fine of sixpence for every parcel they search that we begin to understand the object of turning the Custom-hhuse of England's capital city into a Black Mile or Bartholomew Fair such as this. Even so, and admitting the propriety of filching sixpence on every article of baggage a tra veller may bring into the port of London, why cannot the ceremony of extortion be performed a little more expeditiously and with less annoyance to the patient ? It it very hard if a man be throttled against a door post for two hours to pick his pocket of sixpence. DAILY NEWS.—A tone of greater moderation and forbearance on the affairs of the Deccan now prevails in the journal connected with the East India House. The 'Court of Directors and the Govern ment of India are no longer' urged to depose the Nizam, and to annex his dominions; but hopes are expressed that his new Mini s t er , Suraj-eol-Moolk, will be able to satisfy Lord Dalhousie 's pecuniary demands. An expectation is indulged in that the Deccan may be allowed to remain under his High. ness's'rule and• dynasty; end even excuses are made for the precipitation with which the Governor-Gene ral his acted in this affair. An apology might, with still more propriety, have been added, for the most improper, uncourteous, insolent, and impolitic letter addressed by Lord Dalhousie to the Nizam---a com munication which must have made that accomplished gentleman, General Fraser, the greater part of whose life has been passed at oriental courts, blush for his superior, white presenting it to that Severeign Prince. And here we ,must, before going: further, again ob ject `to the continued absenCe o f Lord Dalhousie from 'the seat of the supreme government of Indie s from the Council intended by the Imperial Legisla ture to inform the Governor-General, to share in his deliberations, 'to partake—if they agreed with his policy, and to record their reason if they opposed his acts—responsibilities, and from all those archives and records without access to and use of which, it is impossible for an unexperienced viceroy like Lord Dal housie to put 'himself into a position to decide pro perly on sucls'iuomentous questions as peace or war, as the extinction or preservation of subordinate states, as to the continuance or overthrow of rights of native succession to vacant principalities, as to the construction of treaties, and as to the effects of nego tiations spreading over a series of years. Within the last seven or eight years the cost of these absences of Governors. General from Ca'cutta has not been less than half a million sterling, over and above their ordinary and most liberal salaries of 25,0001. a year. But in the cases of Lords Ellenborough and Har dingo, they had the very sufficient excuses of war to carry them away. 'Whereas now, Lord Dalhousie has no such apology for his continued desertion of the Council Chamber at Calcutta ; it is in peace that he continues away, retarding useful legislation, lowering the character of his Council by su perseding its most important functions and substituting and surrounding himself by an 'agree able family party, facile to his will, and distin guishe et for anything but statesmanship. Nor, since Lord Dalhousie will take such important steps as ordering the seizure of the Nizem's choicest terri tories, whilst ' cooling himself in the mountains of Thibet, must his friends be offended by being re minded that these absences are largely profitable to him ; that they enable him to save nearly the whole of his ordinary salary; and that his Lordship's ex penditure on his travels has been so profuse as to have attracted very general attention and nearly as much animadversion. The finances of India can ill bear the charges of new silver howdahs. When the wives of high functionaries in other parts of the empire join their husbands, it is not their practice to ask for payment of the ladies' travelling expenses from the and people will no t l oo k Treasury at Whitehall; favourably on noblemen who, going out poor, come back wealthy from the government of India. On every ground, then, public and private, per sonal and national, Lord Dalhousie ought to return where he can have the advert tsge of the advice of his council, or Lord Broughton de Gyfford ought to ask Parliament for power to enable the council to accompany the Governor-General on such prolonged travels as these; for the freseni system of giving him a council to con and then enabling him to evade the advice by getting out of its way whenever be please s , is too flagrant an absurdity RS displayed under th e Dal housie, regime to lest, even though thereis at home A kindred anomaly its the' relations between the Court of Directors end the Board of Control. Returning, however, to the Deccan, it is, we are told, a m i s t a ke to suppose that the British army, maintained at the SEPTEMBER, 6, 1851. Niz un's cost, does not put down insubordination and essiA in the collection of the revenue. Now, in the Deccan tne Eest India CJmpany has 20,000 troops, all on a war tooting; 9,000 of them are the subsi force intendsd to protect the Nizern cgainst fereigu sggres:,ar, that is, against Ma r. incursions, and for their payment the Company hes for nearly self a century had the ceded districts of Mysore in hand. These 9,000 men surround Hyderabad, but to the Nizam are now a perfectly useless force. The Men rattas, as a power capable of disturbing him, were destroyed in 1819. Yet without rhyme or reason the Company continues to swell ies army of Southern 'lndia by this force, and to keep those districts where with to pay it on a war footing, when during the last thirty years it has never smelt any powder but its own. If it be of any value, it is to the Company ; and they ought to pay for it themselves; for any thing more unjust than to maintain such au army at the Nizana's cost by keeping the ceded districts, when its very purpose no longer exists, can hardly be irnsgined or stated. This division of the 20,000 men imposed on the Nizam is never employed to coerce insubordinate chiefs or to enforce the collection of op pressive taxation. The other division, or the contin gent, may. occasionally have been so occupied ; its as sistance could hardly be denied the Nizam who paid for it, in the face of a formidable rebellion ; and, when money to pay the Indian Government for it was not forthcoming, nothing is more likely than that it has been allowed to join in a razzia on a defaulting district or village. To this extent the contingent may have been used in the ad• ministration of the Deccan ; but to describe it as a force which the Nivam, its paymaster, has any power over—as of any real, everyday use to him—as doing the work of the military police of his country— as an army on which he can depend, or which is cal culated to assist in well governicg the Deccan, is to exhibit either ludicrous ignorance or wilful perver sity. The contingent is a monstrous burthen on his finances ; it has involved him in debt to the Parsecs ; it has brought him to the brink of pecuniary ruin, and placed his territories at Lord Dalhousie's mercy, without performing the object and purpose for which it was established. If this be doubted, let inquiry be made of Sir Henry Russell. And its shortcomings and omissions the unfortunate Prince has endeavoured to supply by a third army of his own, consisting of the worst of all troops—mere mercenaries—to whom as old Donne says— The boat of causes is the best of pay. Thus the Nizam of the Deccan has three armies ; two imposed on him, the third his own. Over the two he has no power, and being in debt because of their imposition and burthen on his finances, he cannot pay the third regularly ; and it is occasionaly insubordi nate. But his difficulties arise - from the British armies, not from the Arab troops. Withdraw the contingent, and so give him the means of paying the now ill-paid levies regularly, and the Niaam's finances will soon right themselves and be in a better state than our own ; his Parsee creditors will leave London for India by the next mail content and secure; and Lord Dalhousie would cease to be a bum-bailiff levying executions on the Deccan. With draw the contingent, and the Nizam and his Ministers will quickly reduce the Arab troops to perfect subor dination, and carry on effectively the administration of the country by their means. But the withdrawal of the contingent would involve a loss of patronage ; and directors of the East India Company with only 3001. a year each deem patronage the first of necessi ties. So that will not be done. This question, as now raised, of the Deccan, we entreat our readers to bear in mind, i 3 primarily a financial one. The Nizam has not the means of plying for cur contin gent and carrying on his government at the same time. But, though his finances are consequently disordered to the extent of some two millions sterling, his people generally are prosperous, his taxation light. He is the reverse of an oppressive, tyrannical, or unjust Prince; and in every re spect the Deccan will bear a favourable compari son with the best of our own provinces. All that is necessary for its further improvement is that he be freed from his present bondage and burthen ; that he have the use of his own arms; the right to rule his own subjects; and be, in his own circum scribed and subordinate sphere, a sovereign ; but that Lord Dalhousie seems determined he shall not be. Left to himself, it is quite possible he might at first oppress his subjects a little, just as we oppress ours a great deal. But, unlike ours, his people would dare to show their teeth to insist on better treatment, to protect themselves, to brand him in Hyderabad itself, and, like other native sovereigns in India, the Nizam would give way, yield, and amend his ways. And by such means you would have a despotic prince kept in check and under control by a brave, independent, and energetic people; and so preserve, perpetuate, and reward the elements of human progress and hap piness. But absorb or annex the Deccan, and you would unjustly extinguish a royal house with a better title to its possession than we to most of ours—would destroy a court, an aristocracy, manufactures, and literature—would overrun the immense country with European l'unctionaries, and, by closing all avenues to power and wealth to the natives, would deaden and destroy their energies, throw back their civilization, and reduce them to something like the state the Je suits established in Paraguay. And, talk as self complacently as we please, that is very much what we are doing in our own provinces in India. A FEW HINTS ON BLOOMERISM. (FRox A CORRESPONDENT.) We would beg with all duo deference, to suggest a few hints en pas s ant, to the votaries of the new parure. Would they preserve • to themselves the stamp of gen tility (unlike some fair flowers of divers hues that have recently appeared in the north) wo should recommend a judicious assortment of colour; for we should cer tainly be sorry to see the trousers of a yellow material, the dress of rod; the jacket blue, and the hat or bonnet of another tint. This very disagreeable mixture of co lour would quite shock the eye of taste and refinement. In lieu of this incongruous mélange, we should suggest that the jacket be always and uniformly of black or grey, the bonnet, and especially the trousers, of a decidedly taciturn description, while, perhaps, the remaining por tion of the dress be of any colour, according to the taste or fancy of the wearer. We trust these hints will not bo unacceptable to our rational thinking countrywomen, should they feel in clined to adopt this certainly useful, and not altogether unbecoming style of dress.

NAVAL INTELL IGEN CE. 13,..ctired Rear-Admiral taanoe-itdied a few days since, aged 77. George Gustavus Lennock entered the navy iu April, 1789, as csptaia's seretat, on board I the Biaeche frigate, Captain Hebert .I\turray, wi•h whom he was for three years employed in the West Indies, latterly in the cepacity of midshipman. Re turning to the came station (aLar he lant been for a shun ticae attached on home service to the Juno, 32, Captain Samuel Hood) in the Veteran, 64, Captain Charles Edmond Nugent, he th ere co - operated i n t h e . reduction of the French islands, and afterwards joined the Boyne, 98, flog-ship of Sir John Jervis. He was made Lieutenant May 8, 1795, into the Shark sloop, Captain John O'Brien, at Newfoundland ; and was subsequently appointed, .TsTov.ll, 1795, to the Assist ance, 50, Captain H. Mowat, under whom he wit nessed the capture, August 28, 1796, of the French 36-gun frigate Elizabeth, off Cape Henry; April 21, 1791, to the Resolution, 74, bearing the flag at Ha lifax of Vice-Admiral Vandeput ; August 11 fol lowing to the Asia, 64, Captains Robert Murray and John Dawson, employed until the peace on the same station and in the Baltic and North Seas; Sept. 28, 1802, to the Ambuscade alias Seine, 36, Captains lion. J. Colville and David Atkins, in one of whose boats, on his return to the West Indies, he was se verely wounded in an attempt to cut a privateer out from St. Jago ; and in 1805 6 to the acting com mand of the Shark, Drake, and Mignonne sloops on the Jamaica station. While in the latter vessel, Mr. Lennock was confirmed a commander by commission dated August 6, 1806. He returned to England, after having further had command of the Musette and Moselle sloops, in February, 1809 ; and was next, in October of that year, appointed to the Raven, 16, attached to the force in the North Sea. On July 5, 1812, in face of the enemy's fleet at Flushing, and under the very guns of that enemy's forts, Captain Lennock made a dashing attack on fourteen brigs (each armed with three or four long 24-pounders), and drove three of them on shore. His quickness, indeed, in deciding upon this exploit, and his skill and s2irit in executing it, obtained him very nigh appro bation. His last appointment was Jan. 21, 1814, to the Esk, corvette, of 20 guns, in which vessel we find him continuously employed off the Canary Islands, and in the Channel and South America, until paid off in December, 1818. During the earlier part of that period Captain Lennock (whose post-commission bears date June 4, 1814) effected the capture of the Sine-qua-non, American privateer, of 7 guns and 81 men, and fought a smart action, off Teneriffe, with two other American vessels, the Grampus and Terpsichore. He accepted the retire ment, Oct. 1, 1846. Admiral Lennock married in 1829, Anna, eldest daughter of J. Walker, Esq., of Crawford Town, by whom he has issue. Lieut. R. 11. Wharton (1841) died at Torpoint, Cornwall, on the 26th ult., aged 37. Surgeon Dr. John Coulter (1834) died August 28, at the Naval Hospital, Stonehouse, of paralysis ; he was late surgeon of the Bellerophon. There was no addition to the royal dinner party yesterday. . Di3patches were sent off yesterday from the Colonial Office to the Governors of the North American Colo nies. DEATE OF DR. PATRICK NEILL. It is our painful duty to iscordili;icatlioitai; dis tinguiihed naturalist, at six o'clock yesterday morning, at his villa of Cannonmills. Dr. Neill, we belive, was in the 75th year of his up ; end although of a somewhat delicate constitution, was üble, until the last year, to attend to bu,iness and enjoy his favourite pursuits. To a highly-cultivated and well regulated mind ho added a kindly disposition and a genuine modesty, which greatly enhanced the value of his general deportment. In his moral character he was tesaperate, friendly, consistent, and truthful. Religion had early taken a strong hold of his mind, and while, strictly Calvsnistic in principle, and regular in the ob servance of Christian ordinances, he was no formalist. At an early period of iife he was a member of the Anti burgher Communion, but for many years he was a steady supporter of the Established Church—an elder in St. Mary's; under Dr. Grant, and a lay member of the Ge neral Assembly, representing the Presbytery cf North Lies in Orkney. He enjoyed, however, the friendship of not a few who differed from him in ecclesiastical politics; and we have seen at his table three professors of the Ft ea Church College, includ ing the late Dr. Chalmers—the guests enj eying the society of 'their host, and the host delighted with the comPany of early and esteemed friends. As a man of business, Dr. Neill was uaiiormly open, honourable, and accommodating, willing to yield a great deal foe the sake of peace, but possessed of a sufficient share of firmness when an attempt was made to overreach him, or to act in a stealthy manner towards him. As a friend he was candid, judicious, and conciliatory, and in this re spect very many will deeply lament his loss. As a citizen the to of Edinburgh has lust a clear-sighted and determined supporter. Whether to establish an ex perimental or zoological garden, to decorate the North Loch, or to protect the Flodden Tower, Dr. Neill was ever ready and willing, with his pen and his purse, to promote every useful improvement, or gave from ruin time-hallowed relics. The merits of Dr. Neill as u rasp of science were very generally acknowledged. His pub lished labours as a horticulturist, botanist, zoologist, and geologist, bear bat a small proportion to his: private efforts to advance the interest of natural science—as secretary to the Wernerian Society, as the patron arising merit, and as ever ready to offer the warmest sympathy to congenial spirits. The blank occasioned by his death will bo severely felt by those who enjoyed his friend ship, and by a far wider circle who had satisfactory proof of his great worth and public spirit,—Edinburgh Courant.

Jones, of the Royal Artillery, insTyFctor of the Royal Military Academy on Wooli%ich-commo n since March, 1840, has resigned that important trust, which he diseoarged with great zeal for the benefit of the institution tor eleven sears and a half, and is succeeded by Licutenant-Col',:nel Portlock, Royal Engineers. ELOPEMENT or SAEAH BA.B.DER'S ing the past week considerable excitement has been occa sioned In Eastwood and the neighbouring district, in conse quence of another extraordinfiry occurrence in the family of the convict Sarah Barlw. Au idler sister of Mrs. Barber's, Mary by name, was some years ago married to a collier named Emenuel Wylde, nho then resided at Basford, where he kept a beer-house. This mac, about two or three years since, however, removed to Eastwood, where he erected a house in Langley Mill-lane, at a short distance from the re sidence of the unfortunate Joseph Barber, and for this place he also obtained a licence for the sale of beer. Wylde and his wife have there resided until the present time, but, according to general report, anything but comfortably. On Tuesday morning, at about two o'clock. the husband proceeded to his regular work in ono of the Brinsley pits, leaving his wife in charge of the house. He returned at his usual time, but to his astonishment discovered that she had eloped with a journey man tailor, taking with her her three children, all the best furniture, and a sum of 145/. which Wylde had received a few days before as -the purchase-money for his house. So eager did it appear his wife had been to take everything she could that his clothes had all been raesacked, and from a pocket in one pair of les trousers 9s. had been abstracted. A box containing wme, glasses, &c., was found in the house rea dy packed up for removal, but this probably the woman had found herself unable to convey with her. In one of her drawers, also, her husband found a sovereign, which she had evidently missed in her search for valuables. It appeared that the woman and her paramour had taken their departure in a cab, which had ten seen to run through the Langley Mill-gate, in the direction of Derby, during the day. No information has, however, heart obtained as to the whereabouts of the runaways. The tailor, who was working with Mr. Henry Goodall before the occurrence, was, it seems, ()ril , k , own in the neighbourhood by the name of " Charley."-- Nottingham Jou, mai. - PENSION TO PROFESSOR WILSON.—We understand that Lord John Russell has intimated, by command of her Majesty the bestowal of a pension of 3uo/. a Year on our distinguished townsman, Professor Wilson. The letter inti mating this mark of the Royal favour is dated " liolyrood," and sets forth, we believe, that it is i n cons i deration of the professors " literary merits." The transaction is exceed ; ' •creditable to the Minister at whose suggestion the gitt .n0;13• ,is t bestowed. The active movers have been the Whigs, who hase often felt the weight of the crutch of Christopher _North ; and doubt not that the compliment will be duly appreciated by him of the reoubtable maga. "lad his own litical friends been the medi um th rough which the Royal Bounty po ,llact flawed, it would have been imputed to party feeling and patical predilection. No such imputation can rest on his political opponents. We could have wished that the health and spirits of our distinguished townsman bad been sueh i t if via better to have l:teal:dm to enjoy hi s fresh honour'•• —`0 tislt rre:•s. METUOPOLITAN COMMISSION OF SE‘VERS. A moLthiy Court of Sewers was held yesterday at th e office, Grer SA° (pare ;Ea ward Laws; in the chuir. A report on the state of the collictions for the past montia wesprelented. On tae regist<•r of appiicatiora and memorials Lting presented, _ Tne CUAILMAN said that one of the complaints that had been made contained allegations of a very im portant nature, as affecting the health of the inhabi tants of Greenwich. The memorialists stated that they were occupiers of property of the rateable value of 10,0001., at Hyde-vale, Greenwich, which was totally without drainage, causing great injury to the health of the inhabitants, and rendering the place al- most untenantable. Now this memorial was signed by a large number of people of a highly-respectable character, and from his own knowledge he could state that this was a case of a very pressing nature. The funds of the Greenwich district, notwithstand ing the works that were ordered last week, were still sufficient to enable them to do the works re quired for the remedy of this nuisance. He, there fore, suggested that the surveyor should make a de tailed report, with plan and estimates, for leying down a line of sewer in Hyde-val e , which would form the principal line between Blackheath and the foot of the hill near to the Greenwich Railway. Captain DAWSON said that last week he observed that a large cesspool was being constructed about half way up the bill at Hyde-vale, for the purpose of ar resting the sewage at that point —a course that was extremely objectionable—instead of a proper drain being formed by which it might be carried entirely away. The surveyor was then ordered to prepare plans and estimates for the execution of the necessary works as soon us possible. A memorial was presented from the inhabitants of Qaalit3 -court, Chancery-lane, requesting certain sewerage works ; but it was considered that, as there was no public thoroughfare, the question arose whe ther the inhabitants should not bear the entire expense. It had, however, been considered that as it might be made useful for the drainage near the courts of law, if the inhabitants would raise half the amount, the Commissioners would then consider whether they would advance the other half out of the rates of the district. A communication from the parish of Richmond was received, inquiring the exact amount required for the further works to complete the drainage of that district•; and if the parish should immediately raise the lunch - , and lend the same to the Commis sioners, whether the Commissioners would exercise their powers for the repayment of the amount. The CHAIRMAN said he saw no objection to the adoption of such a course, and it would form a useful precedent for other places where works were ur gently required. As to the amount of the cost of the remainder of the works, inquiry had been made, and the engineer would soon have his report ready, and a communication would be made to the parish that the necessary steps would be taken. A question was submitted to the Court from the board of guararirtns of the Wandsworth union, to as certain how far they w ere exc l uded from interfer i ng with certain nuisances in that parish, from "the opera tion of the sth clause of the Nuisances Removal Act, and the clerk to the board was instructed to ask the Comnthsioners to advise them upon this subject. The Commissioners had returned an answer that the proper course would he to proceed before the Court of Sewers, who had full power to deal with the matter under the 49th section of the Metropolitan Sewers Act, but were of opinion that they were not barred from proceeding under the s:h section of the Nui sances Removal Act. With respect to certain premises nt Islington, al luded to in the Itegistrar-Greneral's return of last week, in which it was stated that the smells from the drains were almost overpowering, and pernicious to the inmates, The CHAIRMAN said that the locality had since been inspected by their officers, and that the owner of two of the houses in the street in question had since then consented to have a proper drainage of them into the public sewer. He might also observe that ail the reports of the Registrar-General would be brought under the notice of the Court, and reports on tbcm received from their offices every week. On the construction of 1,150 feet of sewer, 3 feet 9 by 2 feet 8, iu Tabernacle-walk, being proposed, A memorial from the ratepayers of that locality was read, stating that the health of the inhabitants, and particularly of children, was much injured from the existence of nuisances, and that the place was en tirely without drainage. 'Plans and specifications were ordered to be pre pared, and advertisements for tender for the execution of the work to be issued. On the construction of 1,000 feet of sewer, 3 feet 9 by 2 feet 3; 1,600 feet of sewer, 3 feet by 2 feet ; 700 feet of 2 feet barrel ; 700 feet of 18-inch; 500 feet of 15-inch, and 500 feet of 12-inch cir cular sewer in Rotherhithe-street end Lower Queen street, at en expense of 1,4501., being proposed, it was stated that this work was one of a verypressing nature, and was in the most necessitous part of the Surrey and Kent district. It was near to some offen sive ditches. In Silver-street adjacent, in one small row of houses, during the time of the cholera in 1849, no fewer than 50 deaths occurred in that very spot. The proposed works would relieve the whole of Rotherhithe, where in many cases the sewage was now on a level, thick and stagnant, reaching to the flag -pavement, by which only it was covered. By the works proposed they should secure an inclination of 11 feet 6 inches in a mile. The whole district had paid sewer rates for many years. The plans were referred to Sir John Burgoyne, R.E., and Captain Dawson, R.E., to report upon them to the next court, as was also the following proposi tion for the drainage of a portion of Highgate and Kentish-town:-700 feet of sewer, 4 feet by 2 feet 6, and 1,430 feet of sewer, 3 feet 9 by 2 feet 3, in Kentish Town-road, between the Junction-road and Gordon House-lane, at an estimated cost of 1,591/. 6s. 2d. The following new works were then ordered at the amounts respectively stated :- 920 feet of sewer in Cross-street, Islington, at an estimated cost of 5521.; 1,060 feet of sewer in Hal ton-street, Islington, 6301. lls. ; 275 feet of sewer in Little Cross-street, Islington, 1791. 10s. ; 620 feet of sewers in King-street, Soho, 1981.; 225 feet of 12- inch pipe sewer in Wyld i e-passage, Drury-lane, 62/. ; 190 feet of pipe sewer in Eliza-place, Clerkenwell, 361. 125.; 275 feet o f pip e sewer i n Crown -court, and Lichfield-street, Soho, 751. 155.; 344 feet of sewer in Park-place, South Hackney, 147/. ; 240 feet of sewer in William-street, Caledonian-road, 119/. 24. 250 feet of pipe sewer in ilighgate-rise, 411.35. ; 30 feet of sewer in Seymout•street, Easton-square, 351. After some prcsuatments of nuisances had been re ceived, and orders made upon them, the Court ad journed. THE FAMILY OPPOSED TONE fI'SPAPERS.
