BATe!, DEc. 8 —Th, ra-eyranimition of the priso ners, Eliza Flower, Jacob Windmill, Harriet Wind mill, ilud Stephen Box, charged on suspicion of I,eing implicated in the horrible murder of George Preston, near this city, as already reported in The Sun, was proceeded with this afternoon, at the office of the magistrates for the Bath division of the county of Somerset, before W. Long, Esq., Mayor of Bath, W. V. Jenkins, Esq., and Captain Duff. ' Harriet Windmill this morning told the gaoler that she should speak the truth before the magistrates; but upon being brought up she refused to make any statement, The first witness called to-day was George Wind mill, brother of the prisoner, Jacob Windmill, who stated that he lived next door to his brother. It was the same cottage in which they lived, but the two residences are divided by a thin partition, which en ables persons to hear others talking on the other side. Between seven and eight o'clock on Monday, the night of the murder, he heard Mr. Thomas apply to his brother for rent, and saw him go away again. About half-past eight he heard two persons leave his brother's house and close the front door. He heard his brother's voice as one of them, and thought the other person was his wife. He heard no more till a quarter past ten o'clock, when he heard his brother and his wife talking. Witness (lid not hear them come in. He was sure it was a quarter past ten, because he looked at his timepiece. The prisoner, Harriet Windmill, cross-examined the witness at great length, as to whether he did not hear her and her husband laughing between the time be had spoken of, and whether he did not also bear his sister's voice ? But to all of her questions the witness replied in the negative. Nehemiah Rogers was the next witness examined —He stated that he was a coal-miner, living at High Lyttleton. On Wednesday, the 3d December, he was at Priston whilst the inquest was going on, and had some beer at the Ring of Bells, and gave Eliza Flower some of it. As he was leaving she called him aside and told him he would meet her husband on his way, adding, "Tell my husband to keep in the same story as I." lie did not know what story she meant. He met her husband and told him to make haste down to his "missis." Eliza Flower—Did I not tell you to tell my hus band to make haste down with the children ? Wit ness—Yes. Prisoner—Did I not tell you to tell my huSband to tell the children to speak the truth ? Witness— There was nothing said about the truth. You told me to tell your husband to keep in the same story as you was in. Thos. Drake, inspector of police, then produced the statements made by the prisoners to him before their apprehension. Upon asking Jacob Windmill to ac count for his time on Monday, Dec. 1, he made the following statement :—" On Monday last, the day of the murder, about four in the afternoon, I came up from the pit where I work. I went home, and stayed at home until I went to bed about half-past eight. 1 did not go out that night at all. At four o'clock on Tuesday morning I got up and went to work again, and at one in the afternoon I came up again, and went to George Flower's to dinner. Whilst I was at din ner I first heard of the murder from my wife. I had not heard of it before from any one. My wife told tne I was to wash my skin, and go ' down to the ground where the body was found. I did so ; but the body was gone out of the field. I went to church and there I saw the body on a hurdle. I afterwards went down to the Ring of Bells, to George Flower's wife, and waited there till she came home. I cam home with her, and had supper there, and re mained there all night. I got up at four this morning (Wednesday), and went to work until four this afternoon, when I came up, and went to George Flower's, where I remained until Inspector Drake came to me." The prisoner declined asking the witness any ques tions upon his statement. The statement of Stephen Box was as follows : From five o'clock on Monday night—the night of the murder—until nine I was at George Flower's house. Mr. Flower and the two boys were there. Harriet Windmill came in about seven o'clock for some beer for her husband. Mrs. Flower kept saying she could not think how it was that George did not come home. I cannot tell whether Jacob Windmill was there or not. I left Eliza Flower's about nine o'clock, and went home to bed. I got up at four next morning (Tuesday) and went to work. I left work about three in the afternoon. I beard of the murder at the pit. I came home and washed and went down to Eliza Flower's. George Bush's sister was there and several others. Harriet Windmill and George Flower asked me to go down to Priston and tell Eliza to come home. I went down and met Eliza in the field where the murder was committed, with Herskiab and Jacob Windmill. I came home with them. Harriet Windmill's statement was almost repeti tion of her husband's. Eliza Flower's statement gave an account of the deceased leaving her house to go to the sale on Mon day, and to the children returning on Tuesday morn ing, and acquainting her that they had found the deceased murdered. She mentioned Box being at her house on Monday night, but said nothing of Windmill. In other respects her statements were of little interest. Sarah Dagger, wife of Samuel Dagger, coal mer chant of Farmborough, and sister of the deceased, deposed to receiving her brother's box from Eliza Flower on Wednesday. She broke it open, but found only six farthings and a few trifling articles in it. Witness had heard the deceased complain at different times that he had lost money out of his box at Flower's; but that he always found the box locked after. Ile also said there were several persons who visited the house whom he did not like, and that he thought he should leave before next summer. The whole of the prisoners were then again re manded till Friday. A reward of 1001., 501. being by the Secretary of State and 501. by the churchwardens of Timsbury, has been offered for such information as will lead to the conviction of the perpetrators of the horrible deed. A free pardon is also offered to any accomplice, not the actual murderer, who shall turn Queen's evidence. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

B.—This morning a mounted messenger galloped into this town with the an nouncement that at Fiskaton, near Southwell, a few miles from Newark, a flour-mill had become ignited by friction. Whilst carrying bags of grain and flour from the store-room four of the men engaged in this arduous duty were unhappily buried in the ruins of a large portion of the building, which fell whilst they were en gaged within its precincts. At noon two of the bodies had been found, and now (three r.m.) search is being made for the others. CLEANSING TUE CITY STREETS. —MY.

L ,, TiERIV. TO THE RIGHT lION. SIR GEORGE GRP.Ir, BART., M P., So. &e. &c. Sir,—Since I had the honour of addressing you upon this important subject, a friend has brought under my attention two most important facts, of which I had not been aware, and so confirmatory of the opinions which I have expressed, that I am induced to trouble you with this letter. One is contained in a letter written by the Bishop of Melbourne, wherein he declares, " That after the most anxious desire to elicit the truth, and with a strong prepossession in favour of the plan which has been adopted, of sending out convicts, after a certain period of probation in England, with a ticket of leave, he is compelled to say, and the opinion of all is the same, that they are the worst class, as a class, of the whole community. That the evils resulting from the immigration of the expirers appear to have been tar less than those caused by the introduction of the exiles ; that by far the greater number of the notori ous thieves and bad characters about the towns con sist of the latter—the gaol is full of them, that his Lordship's feelings are SO completely changed, that he should regard the arrival of a ship with convicts as even less mischievous than that of one with pardoned exiles." Surely these statements of facts emanating from so high a character as the Bishop of Melbourne must establish the truth of the proposition I advanced, that it would be far better to adopt the reformatory dis cipline in the colonies than in this country. The second important fact, of which I was not aware, is, the following passage in the petition to the Queen, from the committee of the New South Wales Association : "Humbly but confidently submitting, that if the state of society in the mother country, and a due re gard to her own safety, forbid that she should retain within her own bosom the criminals whom the law now subject to transportation, it is her bounden duty as a Christian nation to find for them some place of refuge—non this continent so remote from the several colonies of the Australian group, and under such strin gent and salutary regulations as to preclude their in gress into any of these colonies ' ...without the express concurrence and consent of the several' colonial Legislatures." Do, Sir George Grey, look fat the sentence in italics, and say if it is not the identical plan which I submitted to you last year ?—and on this basis it is not yet too late to enter into a compromise with these important colonies, alike honourable to them and to the mother country. By the existing law the immense country north of thirty degrees of latitude may be separated from New South Wales ; let this be immediately done, and then say to the association—That if they will withdraw all opposition to the introduction of convicts to remote parts of the new district, and of Western Australia, under similar stringent and salutary regulations to those which you have so wisely and so effectually in troduced into Portland Island, that on your part you will agree that no more convicts shall be sent to any place south of the thirtieth degree of latitude. Then give the plan which I proposed a fair trial. If it succeeds you will have conferred on our native land and upon Australia an inestimable benefit; and you will receive the blessing of thousands whom you will have converted from criminals to useful members of society. If it shall fail—and success cannot be se cured for the best of plans—you will have performed your duty, and no man can honestly charge you with rashness in attempting to carry out the views of a Stanley and a Graham on this difficult subject. The idle activity of the Colonial-office will eagerly grasp at the offer of some colonists in Western Aus tralia to receive convicts on the old terms—viz , by assignments and tickets of leave—a continuance of the old abominations. Yet it will save the office trouble, and is not that something, although productive of the continuance of discontent. Will you give your sup port to the continuance of a system which has been denounced by sagacious men as bad in theory, and which has produced in practice such lamentable results ?—I have the honour to remain, Your very obedient and faithful servant, RIGBY WASON.

THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT AT KENSINGTON.— Last night Mr. Wakley, ALP., coroner for Middlesex, resumed and concluded an investigation into the cause of the death of Robert Wodlen, aged 28, a plasterer, who was killed on the 29th ult. by the falling of a large portion of a pile of buildings in the course of erection, in the Gloucester-road, Kensington. Evidence was gone into as to the,sufficiency of the control of the architect over the ma terials used in the building, and upon the question of their strength and quality; after which the jury returned the fol lowing verdict :—" We find that Robert Wodlen was acci dentally killed by the falling of the cornice of the parapet of certain houses, the property of Mr. John Inderwick, situated in Gloucester-road, Kensington, upon the 29th No vember, 1851 ; and we further find, that the cause of the ac cident was by reason of the bad materials furnished by Mr. Inderwick ; we also find that Mr. Bean, the stuveyor, was to blame for having permitted the work to proceed under such circumstances." GALLANT ACTION.—On October 7, at 8 P.M., just as her Majesty's ship Waterwitch was anchoring at Mon-, rovia, a boy named Clarke fell overboard out of the fore rig ging. Captain Gardner, though dressed in heavy blanket clothes and thick boots, instantly jumped overboard from aft and saved the boy. His good example was followed by Mr. Legge (mate), Mr. ArCallum (carpenter), and J. Palmer. (the G. R. cook). At the time all the sailors in the ship were aloft furling sails. There was a strong tide running, and it was perfectly dark. Luckily they were all picked up, and the next day were again fit for duty. The Duke of Newcastle, who has been indisposed, is, we are happy to say, now considerably improved in health. We regret to learn that the venerable Lord Skel mersdale is lying seriously ill with amattack of -erysipelas at Rode Hall. The Countess of Derby and other members of his Lordship's family have been summoned to attend his Lordship. DEATH Or LADY CAROLINE KING.—We regret to state that this lady died on Saturday last, in Chesham place, having given birth to a son on the previous day. Her Ladyship was sister to the Earl of Portarlington, and was in her 33d year. In 1847 the deceased was married to Captain George St. Vincent King, R.N., the brother of Sir Richard Duckworth King, Bart. FEMALE OUPHAN ASYLUM.—A special general meeting of this charity was held yesterday, in the board room, Westminster-bridge-road ; Mr. Evans in the chair ; when ten females were selected for admission from a long list of .candidates. _ _ ADULT ORPHAN INSTITUTION.--Yesterdays special general meeting of the friends and subscribers to this charity was held in the offices of the institution, Regent's-park, at which four contributory wards were cbosen from a list of six candidates. The charity, it appeared from the report, is now in a very satisfactory condition, and the educational progress of the inmates is most gratifying. VOLUNTARY SUBMISSION TO DECAPITATION.-- EXTRAORDINA ItY FATALlTY. —Yesterday (Monday) morn ing, at an early hour, the body of a young man, named John Charlton, was found dead on the line of railway which runs from Nottingham to Mansfield. lie is the nephew of Richard Charlton, a gamekeeper and publican, who was accidentally shot and killed by the explosion of a gun-barrel in his pocket at Radford, last Friday. This seems to have affected the young man's mind so much as to induce him to commit sui cide, by laying on the rails, near 13arford workhouse, just as the last train was approaching from Mansfield on Sunday night. The engine and carriages had completely smashed his head and one shoulder to pieces, severing ttieni from the body. At a coroner's inquest, before Mr. Swann, yesterday (Monday) afternoon, a verdict to the effect that the deceased committed suicide whilst in an unsound state of mind was returned.

AR I.IIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA. [A rAlrramiry of ill., subjoined intelligence appeared is The Sun of yesterday.] LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. The British ALil steam-snip Cambria, Captain Leitch, entered the Mersey this morning, shortly before nine o'clock, with the mails, and 25 passengers, from the United States and Canada. The Cambria left Boston at one o'clock at noon on the 25th ult., and Halifax at three P.M. on the 28th. The Cambria, after leaving Halifax, experienced throughout her entire homeward voyage very severe gales from the north-east, with heavy seas. The Cambria brings 607,800 dollars in specie. By this arrival we' have three days' later intelli gence from the United States and Canada than that brought by the BAltie. The Royal mail steam-ship Asia arrived at Halifax on the morning of the 24th, and at Boston cn the afternoon of the 25th, after a run hence of 10 days 8 hour: and 20 minutes mean time. At three P M. , on the 301u1t., the Cambria passed a stunner, supposed to be the United States mull steam-ship Humboldt ; and on the 21 inst., at one P.m., exchanged signals with a Urge steam ship, sup posed to be the United States mail steamer Pacific. - The steam-ship EmplieTity, from Havannah, arrived at New Orleans on the 20th ult., with 800,000 dollars in specie in the hands of passengers, and 441,000 dollars on freight. The United States mail steam-ship Atlantic arrived at New York on Sunday morning, the 23d ult. The steam-ship Glasgow, from Glasgow, arrived on the same day. - The cause of the detention of a part of the New York mail was, no doubt, a severe snow storm with very tempestuous weather which prevailed on the night of the 25th, during which we regret to record that a boat belonging to the Royal mail steamer Asia, which had arrived that afternoon, was capsized on her return from a visit to the Cambria, and four of her hands—two of them married men belonging to Liver pool—were unfortunately drowned. The intelligence brought by the Cambria is meagre and not of much importance. The inquest onlhe bodies of the children killed by the sad catastro phe in Greenwich-avenue was pro ceeding, and great interest felt as .to the probable ver dict of the jury. The following are extracts from the New York papers : Scarcely was the ink dry which recorded the late fearful tragedy in Greenwich-avenue, where nearly 50 innocent children lost their lives, and 50 more were laid upon beds of suffering and anguish, when our ears were assailed with the sickening intelligence of another catastrophe, which, though not so grandly horrible in its results, is, nevertheless, mournfully sad. The facts of this new case of death and destruction are as follow :—At a few minutes past twelve o'clock yesterday, just as the men employed in the printing press factory of Messrs. Hoe, at the corner of Broome and Sheriff-streets, had stopped work to eat their dinners, a tremendous crash was heard, and at the next moment it was discovered that the top part of the side wall or gable end of the building which stood next to the blacksmith shop, had fallen. The black smith shop was a one story building, and the wall, a part of which fell, was four stories high, being part of a building used by Messrs. Harmon and Co., brewers, of No. 12, Sheriff-street, as a malt-house. The upper loft was used as a store-room for grain, and there were 9,000 or 10,000 bushels of barley in it at the time. There are usually from 18,000 to 20,000 bushels of grain in this same loft, and Mr. Harmon was about to have several thousand bushels stored there to-morrow. The wall was evidently weak, and was not securely anchored to the timbers near the roof. At the time the wall fell there were but few men in the blacksmith shop, as most of them had gone to dinner. Had the accident hap pened half an hour later the loss of life must have been fearfully great. The distance of the top of the wall above the shop was so great that the falling mass gathered great impetus before it reached it; and when at length it did strike the roof, it hardly met with a perceptible resistance. A great quantity of grain followed the bricks and mortar, and all lay together a shapeless mass of ruins. The men of the establish merit went to work clearing away the rubbish, and soon came to one of their companions, Robert Sears, who was severely hurt, but not mortally. It was said at one time that his sight was destroyed ; but this it is hoped will prove not to be the case. Going on with their 'labour, the workmen came to and released the body of another of their companions, named Wm. Conquest, who was alive, but who was also badly in, jured. They worked on, and soon found the lifeless body of Enoch S. Brown, a blacksmith ; and after re moving still more of the timber and grain, they disco vered the body of Walter Mathews, who was also dead. This completed the list of the missing. Several of the workmen had narrow escapes, and one of theta was actually hit by one of they timbers, while another stood in the midst of rubbish which had fallen all round him—yet, wonderful to say, he was un touched, or at least entirely unhurt. Mr. Conquest is the foreman of one department of Messrs. Hoe's es tablishment, and had just returned from Philadelphia. He entered the shop for the purpose of shaking hands with some of his fellows, when he was assailed by the falling mass. He was removed to his residence in Delancy-street, in a state of mental derangement, but is not so seriously injured as Mr. Sears. The latter was taken to his house in Williamsburgh, where were also taken the remains of the deceased _ Mr. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, Nov. 25.—The Bieck market opened rather feverish this forenoon. Erie Shares fell off one half; while other stocks did not materially vary from yesterday's quotations.

B.—The Royal Mail Com pany's steam-ship Dee, Captain W. Allan, with th e usual mails, arrived this morning at half-past ten o'clock, in charge of Lieutenant Denehy, R.N., Admiralty agent. On the homeward voyage of the Dee she experi enced unfavourable weather throughout, and was de tained two days at St. Thomas's for the Gulf mails. The latest dates brought by the Dee are as follow : Vera Cruz, Nov. 8 ; Tampico, 7 ; Chagres, 10 ; Carthagena, 12 ; Jamaica, 13 ; Demerara, 12 ; Tri nidad, 12 ; Barbadoes, 14 ; Grenada, 13 ; Porto Rico, 18 ; Antigua, 16 ; Santa Martha, Oct. 29 ; Grey Town, Nov. 4 ; Panama, 7; San Francisco, Oct. 15 ; St. Thomas's, Nov. 19.

Amongst the specie _are 38 packages •'narked " M.D.," of the value of 112,468 dolls., supposed for the Mexican dividends. GREY Tows, Nov. 5.—A number of Americans (about GOO) are at this port from San Francisco, with no conveyance to take them to the States. Thu small steamer that runs on the lake Nicaragua, on coming down the river to the rapids, approached too near before turning, and came down stern first over the rapids ; ten or twelve persons are reported to have been drcwned, having in their fright jumped over board. Nicaragua and all posts of the interior are tranquil. The route from California by the Lake Nica ragua has been adopted by most of the Americana returning. The report of their privations and diffi• culties, however, is sufficient to deter others from following the route. There is little doubt, when the railway from Navy Bay is completed, that the Nicaraguan route will be abandoned. 150 Ameri cans embarked on board the Dee for Chagres, hoping to find some conveyance thence to the States. Provisions are scarcely to be had, these sudden in fluxes of adventurers making great havoc on the small supplies sent to Grey Town. CLIAGRES, Nov. 10.—The late disturbance at this place between the boatmen of the old town or In dian side of the river, and the American boatmen, the latter wishing to monopolise the whole traffic, has caused great excitement, and though hostilities have ceased on either side, it is feared this is but a temporary lull. The Governor of Panama has been down, and purposes garrisoning Fort Lorenzo, so that, should a disturbance again break out, there is but little doubt, from the superior and formidable position of this port, that the newly-erected town of the Americans will be completely destroyed, and every inhabitant killed or banished. The natives, it is said, will atop at nothing when once blood is shed. The difficulty in quelling the disturbance was great. The natives will listen to none but the British, and it is here stated that, but for the timely interposition of the commander of one of the Royal Mail steamers, the matter would have ended only in the extermina tion of one side of the belligerents, or, at least, in con siderable bloodshed. The Panama Railroad is now rapidly progressing; it is now half a mile beyond Z stoon, nine miles from the terminus in the Bay of Simon : seven miles are made, but not continuously, leaving thirteen miles to be finished to Barbacases, where the Chagres River is to be bridged ; but until that can be accomplished the river will be ferried by boats from the point of Corsito to Barbacases, and on to Gorgona to Panama is twenty miles. The most difficult and expensive part of the line is done. It will be completed to Barbacases about next August, and to Gorgona by about the following May, and Panama by about July, in two dry seasons from the time they break the ground. The line will be sound and sub stantial, according to the system of railway structure, in the opinion of several eminent engineers who have visited it. The fillings are of red clay, it is well drained, and the heavy rains of the present season have not in the least damaged it. ----. Brown, he having been, when alive, a resident of that city. Mr. Matthews belonged to East Brooklyn. He was a native of England, 30 years of age, and has left a wife to mourn his loss. M. Brown was also a native of England, 43 years of age, and has left a wife and five children. His brother was buried in the ruins at the Hague-street explosion, but released himself and went to the aid of his companions, where a piece of wall fell and buried him for the second time; but he was after all saved. He was at the scene of this disaster, and took charge of the remains of his brother.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. JAMAICA. (From De Cordova's Mercantile Intelligencer, Nov. 12.) GENERAL REMARKS. The market has been uousually quiet daring the past fortnight; but owing to the moderate receipts, prices have been generally w e ll sustained. Business with the provinces is likely to be clucked to some extent by the re-appearance of cholera in an epidemic form in the parish of St. James, and its prevalence on the south side districts. The weather has been unusunlly severe throughout the island. REVIEW OF MARKETS.

It will, we doubt not, be in the recollection of our readers, that about six or seven weeks ago we stated that we had the best reason to believe that, notwith standing all Lord John Russell's previous hostility to the ballot, he had then begun to waver on the subject, and even to feel inclined to make secret voting a part of the new Ministerial measure of Reform. IVe are now enabled to state, in positive terms, that the Pre mier is prepared to acquiesce in the vote by ballot, provided he can get his colleagues in the Cabinet to concur with him. The ground on which the Noble Lord reconciles his present readiness to agree to the ballot with his previous decided opposition to it, is this—that while he still thinks it is unnecessary, in asmuch as a fair expression of the opinion of the electoral body can be obtained without it, he does not, on the other hand, see that it can do any harm, and as the great bulk of the people are clamorous for it, and deem it indispensable to the election of proper persons to represent them in Parliament, he does not think the Legislature can do wrong in ac ceding to their wishes. But it is right we should add, that though the Premier be favourable to the ballot, to this extent, there is a strong party in his Ministry who are thoroughly opposed to it. It is clear, therefore, that the question, whether the Whig Cabinet are to concede the ballot or not, depends entirely on the people themselves. If it is to be wrung from the hostile members of Lord John Russell's Ministry, it can only be so by bringing popular opinion and feeling to bear upon them. Let the necessary pres sure be applied witnout delay, and the thing will be done at once. The concession will be extorted from the adverse members of the Whig Adminis tration.—Advertiser.

Our correspondence from this island extends to the 15 h November. There has been a severe gale, which did injury to the shipping iu different parts of the country. " CuonErta.—There have occurred two cases in the parish of Trelawny this week, one at Westonfabel estate, when the head man, named Fowler, died; and the other on York estate, also fatal. The disease has broken out with great violence in the Maroon Town district, in the parish of St. James. A person of the name of Waite returned to his home within a mile and a half of Maroon Town, from Montego Bay, on Friday ; he was attacked, and died with the disease the same night. The next morning, Saturday, his i wife, son, and daughter were all found dead in the house. Thus, in the short space of a few hours, a whole family was swept off by this insidious disease. " SMALL-Pox.—This disease has now become epidemic. It is extending itself throughout the pa rish, and the poor people are dying daily from the want of proper attendance. You may better judge my surprise than it is possible for me to depict it, when I tell you that those persons who are afflicted 'with this loathsome disease have been seen walking about the highway adjacent to their residences. This fact itself is sufficient to render the disease fatal. It is a serious matter for consideration, the !) and resent state of Hanover. durin g this and - our sister pari s h es , S t.

Still, it is welt to remember that it i s aga i ns t a syatcm, rather than against individuals, that we are fighting. And this consideration at once disposes of the ad cap tandem argument—which it surprised us to see urged by a sensible correspondent—that the good use which certain brewers are said to make of their money ie some justification fur their exorbitant gains. OUT ' complaint is, that the trade is in an unhealthy, unjust state—that the public pay more for thir beer than they ought to pay—and that they cannot, as matt( ra stand, help themselves, because, by a combination of ' ' it:fiances, partly caused by legislation, end partly by an accidental peculiarity of this particular bihireets, consumers cannot avail themselves of that legitimate corrective of competition which the natural remedial energies of commerce would otherwise supply. This is the fact; hence arise the brewers' extortionate Iprofits ; and it is a lamentably weak answer to say— " Yes, but how charitable they are ; lock at the scho o l s t h ey sup p o rt, and the churches a n d c h ape l s which t h ey b u i l d"-- as the ugh it were not a prin ciple both of religion and of common honesty to prefer mercy to sacrifice, and ordinary justice to extraordinary almsdecds. Almsgiving, a s a priv a t e virtue is no set•eff againtat the absence of sotneeo2fnts the, thatbee because present fair deali ng and honesty in a whole trade. And this leads us to the plea which is urged by other cum sptadrm'e tr ad e c a a nn system s tproperly c al l t. extortion,. he it is an u n i mpeachable tnexim of political economy that a tradesman i s ' Justified in charging whatever price he can get. But so fa r from robatitre this r . ep b doctrine, we have expressl.ydnaitted it—only we say that it has ' a correlative. but t o doubt a tradesman may charge what he can gee ; what he can to reduce the sloe consumer may also do presupposes the other. Under ordinary The one liberty 2nary circumstances these things regulate themselves brings the matter to a natural level, ; of which competition which neither buyer nor seller can complain. But o if in any given case, th a t competition ' it so h a pp ens , possible—which is our argument in 's I) h tletiCally inn beer trade—it is of n o use to " reiterate a case of the viz., that tradesmen may ask for their go P u r iy i i "iple; ever they please. The m ax i m may be ver s t wh uat but it dues not apply. It i s t rue when itrec r cl.e— its natural complement, v i z ., th e poas ibilityvofs competition ; that is, it i s t rue su b modo_i, , true when the tradesman acts upon it at his peril. But there is no peril to the brewe r ; for his charges are not in the face of competition, and hi s business is virtually, though not formally, a protected one. The cases of merchants, artists, labourers, literary per s ons, are not parallel—simply because, in all these instances, either competition is possible, or there is the presence of those imponderable elements, genius and the like, to which, as competition is iM poi,ible, the ordinary measure of value does not apply. Admitting, then, that the privilege to make what " what one can of one's own" is both morally and economically defensible, we reply that it is so only as regards ordinary productions where the trade is open, and extraordinary ones where, as in the case of a poem or a picture, rivalry is out of the question. Barclay and Perkins or their advocates must be prepared to show, either that, as a fact, anybody with capital, can, under the licensing system, safely compete with them ; or else that their beer, like the " Paradise Lost," has qualities which are not to be represented by the usual standard of value. Again, it is said that the brewers are the beat judges whether they ought to sell at fixed, or at fluctuating prices. Possibly ; we say nothing about the brewers' powers of judgment but we take leave to observe that the public is the beat judge whether it will buy at fixed or fluctuating prices. Beer and bread are the two chief commodities in universal use of which it can be said that the amount, and therefore the value, of their raw material is contingent on the accidents of the seasons ; and when it is asked why the principles which regulate the trade in the one should be totally and diametrically opposite to those which are applied to the other—why the selling price of manufactured wheat should follow one rule, and the price of manufactured barley obey a flatly con trary one—it is uo answer to say that the brewers are the best judges. Fur their own interest they no doubt are ; but w hat we want is, to get the consumer to look to his interest; and we may safely assure ourselves that—his attention once fairly roused—he will require good evidence before believing that he is benefited by an abnormal, exceptional, anomalous, and utterly unbusiuesslike mode of trading. having said thus much in answer to one of our (Titles, "A Constant Subscriber"—who at least writes like a gentleman and a politician —we turn to "A Brewer," whose letter will no found in another column. We could not desire to have our view of brewery econo mics better illustrated than by what "A Brewer" himself suggests—the analogy of our own business. It is quite true, as he states, that paper is cheaper than it was, owing partly to improvements in the manufacture, and partly to the fiscal reductions of 1836 ; but it is also true that we give the public twice as much paper, and twice as much news, for their money, as we did in those days when the daily journal was only a single sheet. That is to say— in language which may perhaps be more in telligible to our correspondent—we have doubled the dimensions of our barrel ; and when the public is very thirsty, or our wort doubly attractive, we broach gratis a supplementary cask. But perhaps some inquisitive reader may rejoin, " How about the stamp ? The duty on newspapers has been reduced from 4.1. to ld. ; but you have only reduced your price from 7d. to 5d." We only wish the brewers could answer our queries half as wen as we can meet this. In the first place, the fact is that, of this 3d. difference, a considerable portion was only nominal; for, under the old system, the Stamp-office always allowed a discount of 20 per cent.—thus re ducing the actual duty to "rather under e:;-d." (see M'Culluch). Such was the price whieh, prior to 1836, we paid for one part of our raw material, viz., the licence to publish. In that year, this tax of " rather under 21d." was reduced to Id.—thereby relieving the newspaper business to the extent of "rather under" 91d.; and forthwith all the daily papers came down from 7d. to sd.—that is to say, we gave the public 2d., and kept to ourselves the indi visible bonus of " rather under" one farthing. But let the reader consider what we have to do with this accidental extra profit of" rather under" one farthing. Think of the enormous additional expenses in our manufacture since 1836. We need but name the gradual, and now definitive and absolute, adoption of the double sheet—the increased outlay on foreign correspondence in the different capitals of Europe— the necessity of meeting the public demand for a vastly larger amount and a better quality of original writing—and the increased and increasing cost of news itself; occasioned by railway expenses and tele graphic dispatches. What, then, is the result ? Will the emphatic "Brewer" stand to his challenge ? Ilere are our books—here is our proof of larger measures and better beer. We have shown both how the price of our chief raw material, viz., news, and our other expenses, have of late years advanced. Everybody present can compare the daily ne ws p aper o f the - day and its predecessor in 1636 ? Can the porter of 1536 and the porter of 1851 hear a similar investigation ? Will " A Brewer" show in his trade, item by 't as we have shown in ours, how he hastreatedlcrhe public when his raw material has been cheapened' The very thing which we want the brewers tod wt' have ourselves done. We have the public,o either in reduced price or in increased givel more than the fullest benefitof ._ measure, has every reduction that been made in the cost price of our commodity. One of the brewe ' rs advocates told us something about his clients losing ls. on every barrel of beer they sell. In exchange for this impudent fable, we will give them the demonstrable fact, that, so very narrow i s a news p a per's marg in of profit—so very close•hauled is our sailing—that a supplement would involve a positive loss on every copy sold, were not its cost defrayed by of advertisements. The our ordinary paper, cost price of every copy _ t and this, too, indepen i. e. without a supp lemen . . expense of printing—is indepen dently of the Paper ••• ..• .. Stamp . • .• .. Agency of newsman ... .. lid. .. 1; Total ... •.• •.. —leaving us just one penny three f ar thi ngs ou t o f our fivepence, wherewith to pay all the expenses of management, .reporting, expressing, tel egrap h s, lite rary composition, domestic and foreign correspond ence, rates, and taxes—not forgetting the tax levied by the Twelve Tyrants on our beer. It is only necessary to add that the experiment of lowering the price of a daily newspaper has been tried by others as well as our se l ves — and that, in every instance, experience proved it to be utterly impracticable. We suspect that " A Brewer " will get small thanks from his friends for his unlucky reference to the trade of Rewspaper producing. At any rate, the public may judge whether our preaching an d practice are so very discord an t ; an d we may sa f e ly challenge the brewers of Lond on t o ma k e out such a me tropolis financial statement as that which the daily press ofthe e is able to produce. THE NEW PAUSSIAN LOAN.—Advices from Berlin mention that the new Prussian loan for a sum equal to about 2,250,0001., was expected to be brought out forthwith. It is undeislood that the stock will bear 4i per cent. in terest, and be issued at 991, with the certainty of not being paid off for five years. The Sechandlung Commercial So ciety will take halfthe amount, and the other half will be for the public,
