James Knight, 23, described as a labourer, though looking little like one, and William Splevin, aged 23, a carpenter by trade, were placed at the bar on an indict ment charging them with feloniously uttering a forged request for the delivery of a gelding, with intent to de fraud Thomas Shirley. The prisoner Knight, in other words, was charged with stealing a horse from the prosecutor on the Bth of July last, and the prisoner Splevin with receiving the same, knowing it to be stolen. The charge was fully made out against both prisoners, and they were respectively sentenced to be transported for ten years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. Mrs. Elizabeth Telfer, the wife of Mr. Adam Telfer, who for many years carried on an extensive business as a smith, engineer, Sec., in Praed-street and Market-street, Paddington, came before Mr. Lang to respectfully solicit his interference and advice under very peculiar and dis tressing circumstances. From the statement of Mrs. Telfer, who seemed in a very ill state of health, it appeared that her husband abandoned her and his family two years ago, without any assignable cause, and that the business, since dis posed of, was left in the hands of his clerk. Atter she had been in the house in Praed-street six weeks from the period of her being deserted the mortgagees fore closed, and she was deprived of a home. She had maintained herself and family for some time by the sale of her jewellery, household furniture, and wearing ap parel, and when that resource failed she was under the necessity of applying to the parish for relief, and for about sixteen months she was allowed the scanty pit tance of 3s. 6d. and two loaves weekly. Two months ago this was taken off, and she had since been assisted by her relations and friends, whose bounty was now ex hau.ted, and she was without a home, and was at a loss to know what to do. Mr. LONG said,he had no control over the parish offi cers. The applicant had better apply to the board of guardians. Mrs. Telfer (sobbing) said she had already done so, and they refused to restore her weekly allowance, She had been nursed in the lap of plenty, and her husband was a rate-payer in the parish for thirty years. She was anxious to maintain herself, notwithstanding her health was impaired, but she was quite unable to support her two youngest children. Mr. LONG remarked that as an appeal had been made to the board of guardians he could not alter their de termination. The brother cf the applicant addressed the magistrate on behalf of his much-injured sister. She was the mother of seventeen children, eight of whom were now living. Her family were for the most part scattered abroad, and the worst fears were entertained with regard to one of her daughters, eighteen years of age, of whom no tidings could be gained. Since Mr. Telfer had aban doned his wife no efforts bad been made by the parish to arrest him, although a warrant had been granted for that purpose. Mrs. Telfer was in great distress, and ho (the brother) had maintained her and one of her children for the last fortnight. He had a large family of his own to maintain, and was struggling with impaired health, to keep a house over their heads by the produce of his literary labours. He was unable to render any further aid oNGsaid that to his sist er , an d h e su b m itt e d that the Poor-law guardians i n as wherees o a f emergency.peraan was Mr. Amendment Act gave th e mag i s t ra t e power to interfere with the L in actual want a magistrate could order sustenance to be given for a time. Mrs. Telfer's brother said that his sister was in actual want, and did not know where to procure another meal or a lodging.

Mr. .LONG did not consider that Mrs. Teller's ease came within the category of one who was actually starving, and for whom immediate relief was absolutely necesitiry. 'The brother said that a suggestipn ft-cm the magis trate would no doubt cause the guiridians to interfere on tehalf of his sister. g Mr. LONG said h e wou ld sen d an officer of the court to repretent the ca se t o t h e re l iev i ng officer and the board of guardians who might, it they pleased, mon sider their determination,but he to do so. Whipp, 86 D, said that he held a *arrant for the apprehension of Mr. Telfer, but had not been able to find him; he bad been advertised for_ by the guardians. The applicant'sabrother observed that Mr. Telfer was not far off, and that if he was sought after he might be found. Tao guardians of Paddington had evinced gnat lukewarmness in the matter. It was ultimately arranged that Whipp, one cf the . warrant officers, should wa i t u p on the relieving officer of Paddington, accompanied by Mrs. Telfer. A gentleman present gave Mrs. Telfer some silver to enable her to obtain a meal and a night's lodging, for which act of kindness she exp resse d h er t h an k s , and theta retired from the court. . • CLERKENWELL. IVIr. James Lansdon, a master boot-maker, residing next door to the P r i nce of Wales public-house, Vincent terrace, Islington, was brought before Mr.Combe, charged 'with ereatin€ , a disturbance and with assaulting police constable Clax, 324 N division. The officer said that, between twelve and one o'clock at night, - he saw the defendant hand-in-hand with another man, at which time four or five other persons were present, in front of the above-mentioned house. He asked what they were after ; when he was told that they were going to run a race. He told them that that was not a proper time, but they took no heed of him, and started off, and on returning the defendant struck him on the chest, and knocked him down. The accused fell immediately afterwards, and was picked up by his friends. Witness then went up to him, and claimed him as his prisoner, laying hold of him, when he instantly gave him a most severe blow on the mouth, which bled for half an hour. Cross examined by Mr. Robinson—Went off his beat to stop the running, and was opposed by the mub of five or six persons. Mr. Jefferies is the landlord of the Prince of %Vales, from which house the race commenced and terminated. It was from that house to the County Court and back, about 300 yards. Mr. COMBE here said he could not see what right the policeman had to interfere at all, for, according to his own showing, there was no disturbance—no crowd created; end he knew of no law to prevent a man running. Mr. Robinson said there was something else in the back-ground. To the policeman—Was net the defendant running at full force at the time you say he knocked you down? Witness—Yes; and he struck me at full force, and intentionally. Mr. COMBE—A man in running might do so by acci dent, in swinging his arms about, although a professed runner would keep them stiff. Mr. Robinson—Were you not trying to stop him when he hit you? Witness (after hesitating)—Yee. Mr. Robinson—And were you not endeavouring to seize him, and had even your hand on his shoulder when he was running and fell? Witness—Yes; but that did not make him fall. Mr. Robinson—What made you interfere at all off your beat? Witness—Because I heard a great noise. Mr. Rjbinson—When you took my client into cus tody did he not go to the station-house quietly? Wit ness—He did. Mr. Robinson—You have sworn that your mouth bled for half an hour. Now did not the defendant deny, in the presence of your inspector, that he struck you at all, and wish him to examine your mouth, or even offer to send for a doctor to do so? The witness admitted that such were the facts. Mr. Robinson—Pray was your mouth cut? Witness — slightly. Mr. Robinson suggested that his mouth should be examined. Mr. Bayliss, the chief usher, baying done so, said he could not perceive any injury. Hogard, 210 N, examined—Was on duty near the County Court, and heard the witness Clax spring his rattle. He went to his assistance, and found him struggling with defendant; he assisted them up, and took the latter into custody. Mr. Jefferies, Mr. Walker, and another person, denied most positively that any assault had been committed by the defendant. The officer pushed upon him without any just cause. Mr. CONDE dismissed the complaint. SAFFRON WALDEN PETTY SESSION, August 17. A young man named David, in the employ of Mr. Robert Tredgett, of Bourn Farm, Ashdon, was sum moned for trapping hares. Mr. Freeland, solicitor, attended to prosecute on behalf of Mr. Hewitson, lessee of the game from Lord Maynard. Richard Kingswood, keeper to Mr. Hewitson, stated that on the 10th inst. ho wa s in Mr. Treigett's barley field, when he saw the defendant and Thomas Rule set ting some traps, which they said were for rabbits. Wit ness told them not to do so, as he knew bares went there. Next morning witness found a hare in one of the traps, about half a rod in the field: about half-past four the defendant came along, and after looking round went down on his hands and knees and took hold of the hare and trap, which he covered up in the standing barley. Witness said, " Well, David, then you took that young hare this morning." He denied it; but witness went to the place and found it still alive. The defendant then said his master (Mr. Tredgett) had give❑ him leave to set traps for rabbits, and he found the hare there, but never touched it. Mr. Freeland said all the wild animals belonged to Lord Maynard, the landlord, and produced the lease, which granted the r i g h t o f s h oot i ng to Mr. Hewitson; but which it was ruled could not be received as evidence. The tenant, Mr. Robert Tredgett, stated that he was so angry with the rabbits that he had set traps and em ployed persons to kill them, because the understanding with his landlord was, that when he was overstocked with rabbits, he should be at liberty to destroy them. Mr. Chiffens, Lord Maynard's steward, told him there should be no rabbits to hurt him, and if a gentleman hired the manor they should be caught. He admitted that he had no authority to kill the game nor to carry a gun, but there was an understanding that he might de stroy the rabbits. Lord BRAYBROOKE—If he assumes the right to kill rabbits and he kills a hare, I apprehend that he is liable to a conviction. Mr. Tredgett--I told the defendant that if he caught a hare in a trap instead of a rabbit he was to put his foot upon the spring and let the hare go. Lord BRA.YDROOXE thought there ought to be a written agreement between the landlord and tenant defining the matter more clearly. Mr. Tredgett admitted that he had no right to destroy the hares or rabbits unless they were injurious to him; he had no recent authority to set traps since Mr. Hewit son had leased the shooting. Mr. Wolfe considered that if a farmer had once the privilege of killing rabbits, he might continue to kill them unless it were altered by a fresh agreement. Mr. Tredgett said Lord Maynard himself, in a conver sation this spring, gave him permission to kill the rab bits, but in no case to injure the game. In answer to a question from the Bench, he admitted he bad killed one young hare this year with a dog. Lord BRAYBROOOKE—Your dog does not know hares from rabbits, I dare say.—(Laughter.) Mr. Tredgett said he had caught GO rabbits this season and upwards of 200 young ones. The room having been cleared for the bench to consult, The CHAIRMAN said, after mature deliberation, the Bench considered it was not safe to convict, as it was not shown that although the hare had been caught that the defendant made any use of it; i the magi s t ra t es con sidered that the whole fault lay n the agreement, or rather want of a written agreement; an und e rst an di ng was a a verylnueh louse better way to have a p roper agreement, or else in a fortnight's ume they shoipd have anoth e r case brought forward, and if so the inf ormant should be enabled to show that the trap was set for hares, and th at way of doing thos e t hi ng, and it would be an unlawful use bad been made of th e game. Case dismissed.— Essex Standard. T G H R E AVE L SE A ND TE Au F a. I 2 R 2.— E T I h N is V qu E es S t E in N to D th( . 3 day tutnAin palbody, origin of the late fire in High-street, in this town, was Oakes, magistrate, and held before Mr. Hilder, coroner for the borough, and a sat with the respectable. jury. The Town-hall, where the inquest was held, was partially filled by the most respectable in coroner, and great interest in the proceedings, which several habitan memberstin habitants f themunicipal were prolonged from 10 o'clock A.M. to near 4 P.M., was betrayed by all present. Several witnesses were examined, whose evidence went to show that the first external appearance of the fire of t town. was in the premises of Mr. Adlington, 65, High -stre et, from whose kitchen it was first seen to issue. The chief point in respect to the origin of the fire was, whether it began in a stove and flue which were averred to be in Mr. Reed's cellar, on the same floor with Mr. Adlington's kitchen, or in the fire-place in that kitchen. The evidence in respect to the time of the first discovery of the fire, and of the alarm of the inmates of both the houses, in one or the other of which it must have originated, was ex tremely contradictory, as was that of the state in which the inmates of both houses were seen to make their es cape. Some witnesses, for instance, deposed that Mr. Reed was in full dress, and Miss Reed also; but it ap peared from the evidence of Mr. Reed, Miss Reed, and the servant, that they all, upon the alarm of firo being given, made their escape; Alr. Reed carry i ng h i s coat, tr ous ers, and waistcoa t, on his arm, and Miss Reed clad in flannel under and over her night dress, as was also the servant. Upon this point much stress was laid. But the whole of the conflicting evidence as to the first ap pearance of the fire, of the first appearance a the in mates of the houses of Adlington and Reed out of their respective houses, and of the subsequent actual outbreak of the fire, went to show that no suspicion could attach to either of the parties inhabiting those houses iu re spect to any guilty knowledge of the origin of the fire. The stove and flue from it in Reed's cellar on the same floor (the ground floor) with Adliegton's kitchen was proved by him and his servant never to have been used. The builder of it deposed to having never finished it. It was intended fur the purpose of drying tobacco (Reed being a tbacconist). On the other hand, the builder on being sent by the coroner to exa mine that particular place as it now lay bare by the fire, on his return stated that as it now stood it was quite dif ferent from what he had built. Mr. Reed deposed that it had never been altered, and had never be( n used since built by this man. Adlington persisted in his statement as given before the magistrates en the Wednesday fol lowing the day of the fire, that he saw the fire burst into his back parlour from a cupboard by the tide of the flue in the partition between his house and Reed's. The evi dence on this point was as prolix as it was inconclusive. On the whole, it may with truth be said that the mass of evidence gone into proved nothing further than that the fire originated in one or other of the two houses respec tively occupied by Messrs. Adlington and Reed. The jury apt:eared to have come to such a corclusion by giv ing the following verdict:— •' That the two houses lately known as No. 65 and 66, in High-street, were burned down and destroyed by fire on the 11th of August, 1850, but by what means such fire originated there was no evidence to show. EXECUTION AT MONMOUTH. MONMOUTH, FRIDAY EVENING —This morning Man. rice Murphy and Patrick Sullivan underwent the ex treme penalty of the law for the wilful murder of an aged Welch woman named Jane Lewis, near Newport. The wretched culprits, who were Roman Catholics, were attended in their last moments upon the drop by the Rev. Mr. Burgess, of that persuasion, to whom, on the previous day, they had admitted the justice of their punishment. Murphy said he . first struck the woman Lewis with a stone; that she then became stupified, and that they took her in that state into the wood, where Sullivan struck and kicked her, breaking in her jaws and cheeks. They left her there, they said, believing she was not quite dead. They had killed her, supposing her basket to contain pro►isions, for they were literally famishing for food. They also expressed their contrition for crimes committed by them previously to their arrival in England, and their satisfaction that the death of the excise officer at Sydney, cousin of the woman whom they bad murdered near Newport, did not stain their guilty hands. The execution took place upon the gallows erected in front of the county gaol. Calcrafc was the executioner. The tolling of the bell at the gaol denoted the com mencement of preparations within. Just after eight the procession ascended the platform, Sullivan and Murphy, looking haggard and ghastly, walked up to the drop with some difficulty. Having reached that spot they were directed by the hangman to their positions under the fatal beam. The Rev. Mr. Burgess addressed the culprits at this moment, and they made some reply expressive of their trust in the forgiveness of the Al mighty. The culprits were then directed by Calcraft to move a little further apart, and the caps being placed over their eyes, in a ley/ moments the bolt was withdrawn, and the miserable wretches were launched into eternity. The last execution at Monmouth was that of Michael Kelly, also na Irishman, who was hanged for the murder of his sweetheart at Ne'Nport Barracks about two years since. The inhabitants of Monmouth memorialised the Home Secretary against the infliction of capital punish ment upon Kelly, but upon the present occasion not a single voice was heard in favour of a reprieve for the two cowardly wretches who this day suffered the extreme penalty of the law for the brutal murder of an aged and unoffcnding woman. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—We propose to place before our readers an intelligible outline of some accounts with which they are not very familiar, although few subjects are more se riously referred to in Parliamentary discussions. When we explain that the balance-sheet before us is that of the East India Company, it will be readily conceived that our limits must be ill-proportioned to our materiels. The finances of a Government administering the affairs of ninety millions of subjects distributed over a country four times as large as France can hardly receive any adequate exposition in one of our columns, but the topic is unusually interesting, and our observations may so far facilitate private inquiries as to remove much of the mystery which the transactions of the Company are thought to involve. In pursuance of the Act renewing their charter, the East India Company are compelled to present to the Imperial Parliament a statement of their revenue and expenditure, and as the accounts thus rendered are published in the usual form of such returns, there is no difficulty in procuring the documents, though it might perplex the general reader to arrive at the information they contain. The computations are made in " Company's rupees"—a coin of the inconvenient value of about ls. 10id. The " sicca rupee," on the other hand, is rated at exactly 25., or the tenth part of a pound sterling, so that accounts kept in this coin are readily reducible to English comprehension. The easiest way, perhaps, to deal with the returns now before us is to consider the rupees quoted as sicca rupees, on which assumption they, of course, become pounds sterling by striking off the right hand figure from that sum, and it 6 per cent. is then deducted for the inferior value of the Company's rupee, the result will be accurate enough for all practical purposes. The revenues of the Indian Government are derived, in the old Oriental fashion, from the rents of the territory vesting wholly in the sovereign power, from monopolies of certain sales, and from sundry smaller duties. Tho two former items, however, constitute at least four-fifths of the imperial income, and the attention of the general inquirer need hardly be extended beyond them. Besides these there are subsidies or tributes receivable from certain native courts in consideration of past transactions or present countenance; while, on the other hand, there are certain assignments or allow ances charged on the revenues of the Company, and payable to families or individuals, in accordance with the treaty engagements of the Government. Such is the income by which the Indian Treasury is reple nished. Its charges are constituted by the interest on its debts; by its expenditure on civil, political, and judicial establishments; and by the cost of the military force maintained for the protection of the whole. The out goings, therefore, of this Government resemble those of European countries, while the sources of its revenue are for the most part different. India, for the purposes of administration, is divided, as the reader is aware, into three presidencies or governments—those of Bengal, Madras, and Bombay, which vary materially as well in other respects as in the extent of their territo ries and revenues. The Presidency of Bengal in cludes the whole of llindostan Proper—that is to say, of the country north of the Nerbudda, comprising also the eastern shores of the Bay of Bengal, and extending in the opposite direction beyond the banks of the Indus. We speak of this as practically one presidency, though the north-western provinces were detached from it by the Act of 1883, and the for mation of the new presidency of Agra was actually an nounced in Government proclamations. But the sug gestion of the Court of Directors on this occasion, that the nomination of a Lieutenant-Governor for these pro vinces would dispense with the expensive machinery of a new presidency, was tacitly allowed to prevail, and though the financial accounts of this portion of India are still rendered separately, the distinction is not re tained in the principal departments of administration. The presidency of Madras, the next in importance and magnitude, comprises almost the whole of Peninsular India, the presidency of Bombay being confined to a narrow strip on the Malabar coast between Cambay and Goa, with the additions of Guzorat and Catch, and the anomalous appendage of Scinde. The boundaries, how ever, of these presidencies are arbitrarily taken, and the resources of each arc, of course, interchangeable. In the chief or Bengal presidency the net revenues and charges for the latest year ascertained, that of 1847 8, amount respectively to about 74 mil lions and 104 millions, showing a deficiency, speak ing in round numbers of about 21 millions. The gross revenue reached the sum of nearly 10 millions, but the charges of collection—above millions—and the allow ances of which we have spokou above as payable from these funds—about 250,0001.—reduced it ultimately to the amount specified. The land rents contributed 3} millions to the total; the monopoly of salt 1 millions; that of opium nearly 2} millions; and the subsidies from indebted states rather less than a quarter of a million — making altogether some eight millions out of ten; stamp duties and customs yielding a large share of the remain der. Besides these regular items, there are also brought to account in the returns of this imperial presidency the receipts and charges respectively of the territories ceded by the Burmese at the close of the war, of the more recenily conquered province of Scinde, and of what are called " the Straits settlements"—that is to say, of Penang, Singapore, and Malacca. The Burmese forfeits, between the mouths of the Ganges, and those of the Irawaddi, return a net sur plus of about 80,000/. ; but the Straits settlements do net quite liquidate by their revenues the demands of their Governments; while Scinde shows an excess of charge amounting to more than 200,000/. This fact, however, as we have more than once heretofore explained, admits of considerable qualification, and it is noticeable that the returns of the province are on the increase, while its charges are s t ea dil y l essened year by year., The civil and politi ca l serv i ces of the Company in the presidency of Bengal absorb about one million sterling, and some 670,0001. is devoted to the administration of justice. The charges of the military establishment (in cluding that of the north-western provinces) are not less than 5 millions, and the interest on debt consumes nearly two more. Altogether, the balance of receipt and expenditure for this presidency represents, as we have said, a difference of some 2} millions against the treasury; but in considering these figures it must be re membered that the heaviest charge of a Government — that of the military force—has been brought to account in this total without any corresponding apportionment of income. It is from this circumstance that the north west( rn provinces, taken by themselves, exhibit a large surplus revenue. Relieved of all military obligations, they are burdened with no expenditure save the cost of their civil, political, and judicial establishments, and a nominal interest payable on 'their' peculiar debt— charges amounting in the total to no more than 870,0001. On the other hand, their land-rents exceed [PRICE SD. those of Bengal by nearly 11 millions sterling, thus con tributing little less than five millions to a gross revenue of six. From this revenue the represeutat:ve of the Great Mogul receives a considerable pension, other de pendents are similarly favoured, but the result, after deducting the costs of collection, is a net revenuo of some live millions against a total charge of less than one, leaving, of course, a surplus exceeding fin-. On the whole, therefore, if we consider Bengal as virtually still including the north-western provinces, we shall find that the net revenue of the presidency x3(eds its net charges by a respectable sum—though this surplus unhappily diminishing year by year. In 1845-46 it 3ielded 2,120,0001.; in 1846-47, 2,510,000/.; in 1847-48, 1.390,0001.; while for IS4S-49 its estimated produce fails to reach the round figures of a million. On the items and character of the expenditure inducing thi, result we shall take another opportunity to speak. What we have now said will servo to introduce the reader to some knowledge of a subject seldom popularly discussed, and to aid in the formation of independent opinions respecting it. The whole revenue collected from this mighty inheritance of the M0,..„,u!s by those who are lords of its soil from the Hooghly to the Indus does not amount, it will be seen, to the sum realised by our Excise duties at, home, its land-rents producing little mere than eight millions sterling, while the stamp duties of these islands yield nearly seven. The recent diminution in the revenue of Bengal has occurred in its most important branches—the land-rents, the salt and opium returns, and the Customs; the increase of expenditure being mainly traceable to the " war charges," which since 1845 have risen from about 100,0001. to more than 1,500,000/. Etch of these points will receive material elucidation from remarks to be offered hereafter, but enough has probably now been said to serve the present occasion. DAILY NEW S.—lf in a sharp frost a cup of water is exposed to the atmosphere where there is nothing to shake it, the water will remain fluid after its tempera• ture has fallen many degrees below the freezing point. If when it is in this condition the cup be smartly struck, a number of spiculm will be seen to shoot out on all sides, and in a short time the water will be converted into a solid mass. This is not an inapt type of the pro gress of political movements. It is frequently impos sible, long after public opinion has become as it were saturated with the conviction that some reform is neces sary, to get the worshipful public to pronounce that opinion with the degree of unanimity and emphasis which is required to carry the reform. When this is the case orators may cry their hearts out and writers wear their pens to the stumps without producing any apparent effect, so long as society remains unrefiled. Probably every reader and hearer they have assents to what they say, but it is the languid assent men give to au abstract proposition. But let society, when matters are in this condition, receive some concussion, however slight—h t a mercantile crisis pinch many and remove some topping men from the top of the ladder to a lower round—or let the example of some neigh bouring state rouse the imitative propensities of our nature—and the long-desired reform will be effected by a transition as sudden and irre sistible as that which made a lump of solid ice out of what was a thin fluid only a moment before. The seem ingly wasted efforts of the agitators have no more been resultless than tho silent working of the frost; they made society ready to rush into the new state of being as soon as the shake came. Now it occurs to us, that in respect to electoral reform, public opinion is at pre sent in such a condition that little more than a good rousing shake is required to bring about a repetition of the Reform Bill movement. No candid or dispassionate man will pretend that the Reform Act has been utterly fruitless. To any one who should maintain such an opinion, the repeal of the corn-laws, sad a few other vi tally important measures that have been carried sinc e i t passed, give a flat contradiction. But one thing the Reform Act has not done; it has not materially altered the distribution of political power, or the means by which the great mass of Members find their way into Parliament, the manner in which they there coalesce or split into sections, and the ways by which they creep into office. Such a change, however, was precisely the thing which the multitudes who sung in chorus " the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill," till before the clamour from their myriad throats the old close and no mination boroughs toppled down, like the walls of Je richo at the sounding of the trumpets, intended to effect. The ten-pound franchise in boroughs, the extinction of a certain number of boroughs, the creation of a certain number of new ones, and the limitation of others to one Member instead of two, was with them but the means to an end; and that end has been missed. Under the old electoral system which prevailed before the year of grace 1830, the aristocracy—titled and untitled —were the masters and makers of the House of Commons. They and their recruits and agents from the ranks of the learned professions and the great capitalists swarmed into the House through the close and nomination bo roughs, and made it their instrument. The wants and wishes of the people—including under that designation all classes as contradistinguished from the few who played at the game of politics—were unheard in Parliament. There were loud and long debates, but nothing came of them in the way of legisla.ion with a view to assimilate our institutions to the altered circumstances of society. A modification or a change ita the Cabinet, a redistribu tion of the honours and emoluments of office among the aristocratic scramblers for them, was all that was at any time accomplished or aimed at. For the first few years after the Reform Act became law there appeared to be a change for the better. But this change was only apparent. The aristocratic factions did not learn all at once how to manipulate the new constituencies. Many of them had long in their hearts been convinced of the necessity or harmlessness of some of the changes de manded by public opinion, and were not unwilling to concede them with a good grace, in order to earn a character that might be useful to them. But the short list of reforms which a section of the aristocracy was prepared to grant has long baen exhausted. A new generation has grown up to manhood, and advanced far into it since 1830. New wants have begun to be felt by society, and new wishes to be entertained. But these, however urgent, have not yet found their way to the aristocratic understanding. The select circle of the noble and wealthy, within which office and political power are contested, is once more in its views and sen timents isolated from the general public ; and it has dis covered that the new constituencies aro little, if at all, less manageable than the old, and has reconstructed its shattered electioneering agencies. The Reform Bill has been a failure, ina smuc h as un d er i t the real wants and wishes of the people find a voice in the House of Com mons as rarely and with as little effect as ever they did. Out of doors you scarcely meet with a man v. no, in the frank confidence of private conversation, does not admit as much. E ven i n pu b l i c discussion it is but faintly denied. A general ;spirit of dissatisfaction with the profitless wa s t e o f ti me b y Parliament per vades society. A root e d conv i ct i on that a further and searching change i n o ur e l ectora l system is indispensable andinevitable is daily ga i n i ng groun d . And yet it can not be said that the course o f P ar li amentary reform is making any visible progress. This is certainly not at tributable to any lack of zeal or ability in its advocates. The leaders cf the Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association are as indefatigably active as men can well be. To look no further back than their last reported meeting, more masterly and telling speeches than those of Mr. George Thompson and Sir Joshua Walmsley cannot well be imagined. Yet the visits of these gen tlemen and their colleagues to various localities are not followed by co-operative action on the part of those who receive their doctrines with assent and rapturous ap plause. All the work is left to them and the few who originated the agitation along with them. No new labourers flock iu to claim a share in the honour of promoting the good work. Satisfied withexpressing acquiescence and approbation, the ir auditors betake themselves again to their ordinary avocations. They wish for reform, doubtless, but expect, or, at least, wish it to drop like an over-ripe plum into their mouths. And thus it will be till the shake comes which is to awaken men to earnest and decided action. Meanwhile the labours of the Reform Association, though producing at present little visible fruits, are not lost. Th e y are maturing convictions, and making purposes more definite against the arrival of the hour of action. Nor can that hour be far distant. A few such resultless sessions as the last will work wonders. Nay, the present conti nuous rains, and sudden lo wer i ng of the temperature to an autumnal chill—the extension of the Belgian floods • to a few more countries—the short-corning in the Ame rican crop of cotton —or a final rapture between Prussia and the other great Powers, may acce l erate its advent. Meanwhile, if we mi g h t take the liberty, we would venture to hint t o t h e Reform Associative that their missionary operation s , w i t h a view to prepare men ' s i !:o nn3 in pr d eo s urenna a r g ri a lei l na n it s tig, tthe coming of that hour, w ou ld a d m it o f We thi n k th ey h ave j u d ge d w i se l y as they h ave d one o f l ate , t h e i r enun ciation of the objects they aim at. What is wanted is such a change in our electoral system as will ensure a large infusion of new blood into the House of Commons, and by that means compel the class who have hitherto monopolized administrative office to adopt a policy more in consonance with public opinion, and admit colleagues, from classes hitherto excluded, into offices of note and influence. To this end such a change must be effected in the constituencies as will ensure the admission of men to Parliament who are really animated by popular sympathies, and who participate in the convictions of the people. This is only to be accomplished by an ex tension of the suffrage, that will bring classes sow utterly excluded within the pale of the constitution, and by such a re-distribution of the electoral districts as will prevent the House of Commons from being packed with nominees of the aristocracy. To disseminate a convic tion of these truths is the especial task of the moment. To expend thought and breath in devising and recom mending special plans for realising them is sheer waste of time. Manhood suffrage, scot and lot suffrage, the ex tinction of small boroughs and the creation of new, or the introduction of entirely new electoral districts, a time will co me f or th e di scuss i on o f t h ese specialities. The business of the day is to convince men that the suf frage must be widely extended, and that the close con 'tituences, by means of which the aristocracy pack the 'louse of Commons, must be extinguished. Let this fact be firmly roote d i n pu bli c o pi n i on , and when the momen t for action comes, the statesman who propounds t h e p l a n best adapted to carry it into act will find himself borne Association o nward trium p hn h e sn or b e y tnhde more concentrated Of late th sßeafrogrna u- ti~ .~ meats and exhortation upon these two cardinal points;. and in doing so, we repeat, it has judged wisely. • _What more remains for it to do is to extend and varyjag e ld. - of action. Hitherto its oral addresses have be tined • to meetings called for that special purpose. Mit - such meetings are exclusively attended by two classes: those whale convictions and zeal are already all that the asso elation coold wish; and those who merely frequent such Meetings in search of a momentary excitement;'. ,The sionaries of Parliamentary reform would require to ad.. l - dress themselves to meetings of a more miscellaneous cha racter, to meetings where they are not expected to broach the subject, or where its introduction may be unwished for and even disliked. It would be well if at every public meeting convened for the discussion of any serious and widely-felt grievance, some advocates of. Pa rliamentary reform were present to urge its adoption as the indispensable pro-requisite to any other reform whatever. The topic would thus be forced upon the notice of the sceptical and the apathetic. Not all would go unconvinced away upon every occasion. And there is a mesmeric influence in a powerful volition that chugs other men after it. Were it once seen that there is a band of men in the country who look foe no political improvement except through the medium of Parlia mentary reform, and who are resolute to embrace and make occasions to debate thia point with the incredulous, their mere determination and perseverance would make at least as many converts as their arguments. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, Adusiral the lion. Sir Bladen Cape), K.C.8., went to Cowes )es terday afternoon, in the Sprightly steamer, Master Commander Allen, to meet the royal squadron on its return. The Elfin, royal steam dispatch vessel, Master Com mander &illEton, will go from Portsmouth to Cowes to day, t.) be in readiness tilers to meet the royal squadron, expected to arrive last night or this morning. Capt. Cockburn, said to be posted from the Hastings, 72, flag ship in the East Indies, to the death vacancy of the Rattlesnake, has arrived home by the overland mail from Singapore. Commodore Plumridge, in the Cambrian, 40, arrived at Trincomalee June 20, and W Lal about to leave for Chatham to be paid off. Commodore Arthur Fanshawe, C. 8., left Ascension July 2, in his flag-ship the Centaur steam-frigate, Capt. Buckle, for Princess Island, to meet the Bonetta, 3, bri gantine, Lieut. Forbes, to send her to England. Commander Wodehouse, of the Phcouix steam•slmop, was at Ascension, July 7, where, on survey, the boilers of the steamer had been condemned. Commander Wode bouse has resigned the command, and Commander Ly seght having been appointed, has proceeded in the Niger to relieve him. Lieut. H. M. Elliot is coming home in command of the Albatross, 12, from the East Indies. Lieut. Smith, of the Contest, 12, Commander the lion. J. S. Spencer, having been left in charge of a prieJ on the coast of Africa, has proceeded to the East Indies in the Lily, 12, Commander Baker. Mr. Benjamin Wilson Pidcock has been appointed so. cretary to the Commodore-Superintendent at Woolwich Dockyard, vice Penhorn, promoted. In order to secure competent officers for the lighters attached to the dock and victualling yards, their L)rd ships have ordered that not any person shall be appointed as " master" or " mate" of one, unless capable of working a day's work, taking a meridian altitude, and navigating a vessel to a port abroad. THE NEW Doox.—The new and very capacious dock No. 9, situated at the north-west coiner of Portsmouth Yard, was opened yesterday, for the purpose of taking in the Neptune, 120. The cassoon was floated out of the entrance, and the ship's bow brought to it, but the sea refused to accommodate old father Neptune, for it was a sluggish tide, and the water did not rise high enough by six inches, and the ship could not be docked. A sand was in attendance, and a good many ladies and gentle men were assembled to see the ceremony, in which, how ever, they were disappointed. It will take place to-day. In the meantime the blocks at the bottom of the dock on which the ship's keel will rest will be lowered an inch or two, so as to make sure of getting her in. EXCELLENT PRACTICE.—Another experiment will be tried next week, by Captain Chads, of the Excellent, on a butt-section of an iron steam-vessel's side, and it is now being prepared at the factory, in Ports mouth-yard, by some of the people belonging to the manufactory of " kamptulicon," in the Greenwich road, under the inspection of Mr. Walter, of the Royal Marines, the proposer of the plan. The kamp tulicon is, we belies°, a preparation from caoutchouc (india-rubber) and pulverised cork; it is made into plank-ghat ed pieces, of any desirable breadth, length, or thickness; it is perfectly elastic, and slightly com pressible. The planks are compressed into the inter stices between the ribs of the butt, till they present a surface on a level with the inner edge of the ribs; these are up and down—supposed to reach from one deck to the other; and are the same thickness as the ribs are broad. Over this is placed another planking of kamp tulicon, running horizontally, making the kamptulicon over the iron plates some eight or nine inches thick, and over the inside edge of the ribs about fcur inches thick. It is supposed that the shot striking the butt will go through, merely making around hole in the iron, but that the quick and elastic closing of the kamptuli con will entirely prevent all splinters from flying off. We can offer no opinion respecting the probable result of the experiment, but we imagine if it should succeed it will be rather an expensive process, the lining inside of a large steamer. The Adventure, store-ship, Master Commander Peter Willington, arrived at Spithead on Thursday morning, fi om Rio and Ascension, to which places she sailed in the spring with naval stores fur the use of the squadron at these places. She brings no news of later dates than has been received. From Rio she brings home a small freight of gold, valued at 30,0001, on account e f one of the mining companies, which was landed last night, and was conveyed to London to-day by Mr. Chambers, of Common used. She has brought home a few invalids, who were landed at Radar Hospital by the Sprightly, which vessel went out to her soon after her arrival. The Adventure suffered a little from the fever at Rio, Mr. Willington having had a slight attack himself. She has brought home condemned naval stores, with which sha will sail for Woolwich on Saturday. The Apollo troop-ship, Commander Rawatorne, is undergoing some extensive alterations, suggested by Captain Milne. The cabins are all to be removed from between decks, and the crew of the ship are to have it to mess in. The main or gun-deck is, in future, to be appropriated for the troops. Her copper is so thin, that about the bow it appears to have been actually washed off by the water. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—The Neptune, 120, advanced three-decker, was brought down to-day for the purpose of being used in opening the new dock at the north corner of this dockyard, but the tide not having risen high enough, the ceremony will not take place until to morrow. The Portsmouth Royal Naval Club held their quar- terly meeting at the India Arms Hotel, Gosport, ye►ter day. Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., pre sided, and Admiral Sir John Ommanney, filled the vice-chair. PEMBROKE.—On Saturday, August 3, the Royal Dockyard brigade were inspected by Colonel-Com mandant Sir T. S. Pasley, Bart. The brigade was drawn up in line, the artillery battalion on the right and the infantry on the left. After receiving the Commandant with a general salute, and being minutely inspected by him, the line broke into open column, and marched past in slow end quick time. The infantry battalion were then put through a variety of evolutions, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Abethell, firing on each fresh formation, and concluding by ad vancing in slow time and saluting, when they were marched off the ground, and the Artillery battalion, commanded by Major Weatherley, advanced with their brigade of field-guns, two batteries of 9-pounders, and one of 6-pounder brass guns. After saluting, the two flank batteries of 9-pounders retired, and the battery of 6-pounders, commanded by Captain Chevallier, per formed a number of manoeuvres, changing position and firing with great rapidity. The infantry were then inspected at the garrison gun exorcise. The Colonel-Commandant expressed himself highly satisfied at the rfficiency of the whole brigade, and with the excellent way in which all the evolutions and ex ercises had been performed after so short a period of drill practice. CHlTnsm, AuG. 23.—The Magicienne steam-sloop was on Wednesday, the 21st, navigated to Devonport by a party of seamen riggers from Chatham and Sheerness dockyards, in charge of the master of the flagship at the latter port. This ship is t) be placed in the ordinary at Devonport as an advanced ship. The Tiger steam-sloop was taken into the lower stone dock ou the 22d inst., to be fitted for service at sea; and when she is completed she is to be navigated to Ports mouth, to be placed in the ordinary there as an advanced ship. The ship Elizabeth, Tt. G. Scheeh master, from Dantzic,. has arrived with a cargo of timber for this dockyard. The Cumberland, 70 guns, is fast progressing in her rigging; she will be completed by the end of the month, as the ordinary guard-ship at this port. During the last two days her main-deck, quarter-deck, and fore castle guns have been received from the gun-wharf at Chatham, consisting of 44 guns. Those fur her main deck are two 8-inch 65 cwt. each, and nine feet long, and 26 32's (Monck's new gun), each nine feet in length, and 50 cwt.; and for her upper-deck are 16 32-pounders, each 42 cwt., and eight feet in length. Her low or-deck guns will not be put on board at present. The Poictiers, 72, at present the ordinary guard-ships will be put out of commission on the;3oth inst., and the Cumberland will be commissioned on the 31st inst.; the officers and men belonging to the Poictiers will then be turned over to the Cumberland. The following workmen for length of service have been superannuated, and pensions granted them:—James Thompson and Richard Moss, shipwrights, and William Venlander and Samuel Enwell, sailmakers, who are each to receive 24/. per year. JOIIN O'GAUNT'S PALACE AT LINCOLN. -The beautiful oriel window, so well known to antiquarians, and which excited the attention and admiration of the Archie:o. lbgical Society in 1848, was advertised for sale a short time since (preparatory, it is supposed, to some alterations), when Earl Brownlow became the purchaser. His Lordship has since presented the window to the county magistrates, with a view to its being preserved in the Castle, which will form an appropriate site, it having been one of the official resi dences of the Prince John. The south wall, which contains this window, is the only portion of the palace that has uqt, fallen a prey to the hand of time, or the taste of a late pro prietor. The front text the street, which was pretty entire when Buck published his view in 1726, with the arms of England and France quarterly on a large shield, has been en. tirely pulled down and rebuilt, and deprived of its ancient character and ornament. The window, which has survived the chances of 500 years, covered with sculpture, is still in good preservation.—Lincoln Mercury.
