A comparison of the sums known to be in arrear for rent and annually lost in the Sister Kingdom, with the amounts wiped out by the operation of the Bankrupt or Insolvent Courts, will show that the latter does not amount to one pound for every one thousand pounds of the for mer. How ridiculous, then, is it to rely upon such a provision as an adequate remedy for the evil. The relief allowed in case of an absconding tenant is equally illusory. In Ireland one of the greatest landlord grievances is, as Lord CAMPBELL justly remarked, that bad tenants "will not abscond." When they set the proprietor of the soil and all his myrmidons at defiance, and hold possession, despite of every effort to dislodge them until they are bought out, getting not only a receipt in full (a document on which it is but an act of simple justice to say they place but little value, being perfectly indifferent as to the measures which the defrauded landlord may take to enforce payment), but also a sum in hand, to start them on their new career. If that payment and an amicable arrangement (in which case they cannot be con sidered as " absconding" tenants) be refused, they retain possession until ejected by legal process, for which case no provision is made by the Bill— the repayment cannot be made where tenants are evicted for non-payment of rent? But supposing that the exceptional case should arise, that the landlord should, under the statute, be entitled to claim a return of the money which he had paid for duty in respect of the rent due by a party who had become a bankrupt or insolvent, or who had absconded from the premises, let us for a moment consider what steps should be taken by the claimant before he could hope to obtain restitution. We need scarcely refer to the proverbial dif ficulty of getting back money which has once found its way into the Exchequer. Any person who has endeavoured to establish his claim will not require to be reminded of the vexatious delays, the petty evasions, and paltry quibbles resorted to ; proceedings that would reflect the utmost discredit on any private person who re sorted thereto. The most stringent proof is re quired on every point, until at last the disgusted applicant finds that it would have been a saving of time, of trouble, • and of expense to have abandoned the demand (unless of considerable amount) than to have subjected hithself to such annoyance in its recovery. He must, in the present instance, prove to the satisfaction of the Commissioners, that the tax has been paid—that the rent, in respect of which it was unpaid, and that he had failed to receive it owing to the bankruptcy, the insolvency, or the absconding of the tenant, and legal evidence must be brought , forward to establish the points relied on (we say nothing of the difficulty of deciding what will amount to an absconding within the meaning, of the statute). For all these matters a professional man must be employed at the expense Of the applicant. Each separate case will require dis tinct proof, and consequently a separate bill of costs. In how many instances will it be worth the landlord's while to comply with these pre liminary demands in order to obtain relief ? There cannot he much doubt as to the answer. Are we not justified, then, in denouncing the pre tended relief as being neither more nor less than a mockery and a delusion 1" But were it otherwise, and that the money could be obtained without difficulty, delay, or ex pense, can we conceive a more unwise or impolitic provision than that which would give the landlord a direct pecuniary interest in driving the default ing tenant to extremities, in compelling him either to abandon the country, or to cast himself upon the tender mercies of the Insolvent Court, or the Bankrupt Court, after submitting in the first in stance to incarceration for several weeks. If the provision should not be altogether inoperative, it will create the most serious disturbances, and kindle a flame which it will be difficult indeed to allay. Those who prepared and who sanctioned the iniquitous measure are placed in this dilemma —either the provision is a gross deception, or it ig one of the most miseltiettitip and impolitic enact ments that can be conceivba. We leave the Irish members who supported the Budget, and thus carried the bill, to determine on which of these horns they will be impaled. Not fewer than seven Membershave fallen before the Election Committees since our last advertence to their proceedings. Sligo has lost Mr. TOWNELEY ; Clare County, Messrs. FITZGERALD and 013srmv ; Peterborough, Mr. WHALLEY; Durham, Lord ADOL PHUS VANE ; and Liverpool, Mr. FORBES MACKEN ZIE and Mr. TURNER. On this side the water the de linquencies were quite of a normal character; Mr, WHALLEY was found guilty of treating, though we certainly think that law was strained to the uttermost against him ; his offence was paying for the wine at a dinner after the election, and he deems it so venial, that he solicits the electors to vindicate their liberty by re-electing him. Lord A. VANE had, no doubt, been guilty, by his agents, of bribing one if not two voters. J. N. ATKINSON, a wag or a rogue, he did not tell the Committee which, first bagged 51. from one agent, whom he saw in a bed-room ; the agent threw the money on the bed, telling him " he neither lent nor gave him it." Going out he meets another agent, from whom he tries to get 151. He is content, however, with a second Si. ; two agents then escort him to the poll, whom, however, he gives the slip, votes ' for FENWICK, and tells the whole tale to FEN WICK'S Committee. Our readers will remember a similar trick at Clitheroe. Such are the risks of bribery. The . Liverpool bribery was of a peculiar character, consisting in very numerous payments to workmen of 4s. or ss. each, ostensibly as com pensation for losing their day's work, which, how ever, they had no occasion to lose. There was treating also. The bane of this large constituency, amounting in 1852 to 17,433, is, that 2,225 of the voters are old freemen. We are inclined, however, to think that the unseated candidates found the "no Popery" feeling, which is very strong in Liverpool, a more effectual aid than bribery and treating. At Taunton, Sir JOHN RAMSDEN was lucky, since bribery, though proved, was " not proved to have been committed with his knowledge or that of his agents." We cordially wish the young Member success in his political course, the more so as he has declined to use his immense influence in Huddersfield, which is nearly all his own property, and throws himself on a borough where his political principles are his only recommendation. On the other side the Irish Channel the Com mittees have at last got fairly into the midst of priests, shillelaghs, and stones--of spiritual curses and material violence. Both in the Clare and Sligo elections they have reporte(l the corrupt and unbecoming influences exercised by the priests ; in the latter case, in general terms, against "the Roman Catholic priests ;" but in the former, speci fying by name Fathers CLUNE and BURKE, and exempting the rest ; pronouncing against these two, however, the heavy charge—a charge pain fully sustained by the evidence—that "they excited the people to take part in the Six-mile-bridge riot ;" and that Father BURKE " himself took part in the riot." There has been, of cour3e, violence enough alleged, and proved too, both at these and other Irish elections. It was thoroughly established that Colonel VANDELEUR'S supporters voted at the peril of their lives—a peril sufficient in several cases to deter them from voting at all ; that they were seized, locked up, liberated and escorted by the military, and even then were not safe ; and that all this was due to priestly zeal and fury. The mob were merely the ignorant tools of the priests. Ono of these tools, named MACNAMARA, who every night reported his proceedings to "the Father," de scribes his canvassing practice literally th us—" You should first get hold of your man (it really re minds us of Mrs. GLASSE'S cele)rated recipe), and ask him for his vote. In case of refusal, you must ply him with drink, and then ask Um, again. Should he still remain contumacious, it only remained for you, with the assistance of your mob, to lock him up, and so prevent him voting at all. He conducted his canvass on these approved principles, and was sorry to have been Oliged more than once to have j recourse to the last alternative." We may be allowed to doubt whether the sorrow was due to any remonstrances, or penances enjoined by " the Father," to whom he nightly reported progress, when we are compelled to read indubitable proof of " the Fathers" resorting to grosser violence, if possible, themselves. Father BURKE literally whooped on the mob at Six-mile-bridge, led them into conflict with the soldiers, joined himself in pulling voters out of the cars which the soldiers escorted, and endeavoured to wrest the musket of the soldier who struggled to prevent his doing so, from him, telling him "he neither cared for him nor his steel, though he did wear the QUEEN'S cloth." We are by no means sure that the for bearing soldier was not guilty of culpable derelic tion of duty in not making effective, if not mortal, use of the weapons confided to him. When this soldier, JoHN CROUCH, had just seen a comrade, MARSHALL, knocked down with a stone, and a Catholic priest was endeavouring to disarm him, one should think no further orders were necessary to men who had loaded muskets placed in their hands to protect unarmed yoters. Unhappily the deluded mob were the victims, and the guilty au thors of the riot escape both the bullet and the gallows. Not less virulent were the holy Fathers at Sligo, although the violence happily was not so fatal. A leash of Priests, Priest PHILLIPS, Priest Quirt, and Priest WHITE hunted Mr. SOMERS out of a borough, in which he evidently enjoyed no small degree of the sincere attachment of the people. Father PHILLIPS made ample use of the locking-up process, which MACNAMARA, at Clare, described as the dernier ressort of the canvasser. He had a treating-house in Mass-lane, where he cooped im practicable voters till after the election. The fare was not so bad. " They had breakfasts, dinners, and drink ad libitum. As many as thirty sat down at a time. The beef, ham, and other edibles were very good, and the excellence . of the liquor evidenced by the tendency of the 'free and independent' to getting under the table." So testified MICHAEL SOMERS. Mr. Swims, the candidate, however, backed by other witnesses, deposed to the most disgraceful spiritual terrorism, and to that chiefly he attributed the loss of his election. Mr. SOMERS himself attended the parish chapel du the Sunday. Priest PHILLIPS preached. After depicting the horrors of the Stockport riots in the strongest language, he explicitly attributed them to the Parliamentary conduct of such men as Mr. SOMERS, and went on to denounce him (with every eye fixed on Mr. S.) "as a traitor to his religion and his country ; any man who sup ported him voted for Hell and the Devil ; every one who supported Mr. TOWNELEY voted for GOD and Heaven." Mr. SOMERS' friends actually thought it hazardous for him to leave the chapel unattended ! Of course the excitement. became both great and dangerous ; Mr. SOMERS' voters could not poll with safety to their persons ; and the same Priest, PHILLIPS, who had threatened such spiritual terrors, was amongst the foremost in collaring and otherwise maltreating those who were going up to vote for Mr. SOMERS ! 11101101 a comparatively trivial circumstance, at first mention, yet to us it reveals a world of priestly impudence and tyranny, that Priest O'GARRA had to be removed by the Chairman of the Com mittee " for standing right in the eye of the wit nesses, and by frowns and gesticulations prevent ing them giving evidence." What would a man be capable of in an Irish cabin who could thus exhibit his vulgar tyranny before a Committee of the British House of Commons? We can assure our respectable Catholic friends that unless they can thoroughly put down all such utterly unbecoming conduct as this, Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S views of the relation of the Papal Hierar chy to constitutional freedom and liberty of discus sion, will spread very extensively before another election, and very seriously affect the character of another Parliament. It will not do to retort on him the hostility of all hierarchies, Protestant or Catholic, to liberal measures and to free inquiry. All Liberals are constrained to acknowledge that. One thing, however, they also know—that if the past tells of some notoriously political Protestant clergymen, the present is not disgraced by them. Protestant ministers of every denomination have yielded to the civilisation and better feeling of the times. A violent hustings-parson is now as rare as a fox-hunting parson. Of course, the clergy have, as educated Englishmen, their strong po litical preferences, but they know how to hold them as becomes gentlemen and Minis ters ; the Catholic clergy alone appear inca pable of civilisation. We are not even sure whether we have not been rather hard on poor Mr. SPOONER ; for if the five priests who figured before the Clare and Sligo Committees are at all a sample of the results of Maynooth training, it really would behove the Legislature to inquire whether it ought to pay 30,0001. a year to train up intimidators of voters, pulpit denouncers of re spectable candidates, leaders of election riots, and men, who can not only confront her MAJESTY'S muskets and bayonets, but endeavour to wrest them from her soldiers. The alumni Of our Protestant Universities, whether lay or clerical, do not thus repay the favours they receive from the State. THE CRYSTAL PALACE. Crystal Palace, Sydenham, June 29. DEAR SIR,--The severe winds of last night and this morning have caused an accident to the scaffold for the large roof over the central transept, a portion of which was fixed in place, and fell down between twelve and one o'clock. We are glad to tell you that no injury has occurred to life or limb, that no damage has been sustained by the frame-work of the building except of the most trifling kind, and that the damaged staging will be imme diately reinstated.—Yours faithfully, FOX, HENDERSON, & CO., PRO JOHN HENDERSON.

JAMES'S.—Mr. Maurice Levy gave his annual evening concert last eveni ng at the above rooms, upon which occasion he was assisted by Me following eminent artistes :—Miss Stabbach and Madame Tasca, Messrs. Gardoni and Pischek as vocal ists ; Alexander Billet and Levy, pianoforte ; Messrs. .Holmes, Wuille, Payne, and Vogel, as instru mentalists. The concert, a very delightful one, opened with one of Beethoven's quartetts, faultlessly exe cuted by Messrs. Levy, Holmes, Vogel, and Payne. Madame MISCII, sang Rode's air to perfection ; Sig nor Gardoni sang Beethoven's "Adelaide" with immense success ; Mr. Wuille's solo clarionet was a masterly piece of execution, and was well and deservedly applauded. Miss Stabbach, who was in fine voice, sang one of Mendelssohn's beds charmingly, and in an aria by Pucitta, " which was once a great song with Catalina,." She brought forth the powers of her highly-cultivated organ to great advantage, and was honoured with an encore. Herr Pischek sang two German songs in his usual artistic manner. The brothers Holmes performed a duet, "violin," which was well received. Mr. Levy's pianoforte solo was in itself a perfect gem, and was received with much applause. The concert was fully and fashionably attended. LIVERPOOL, Tuesday.—The screw steamer, City of Manchester, Leitch commander , arrived in the river yesterday evening from Philadelphia, with 400 passen gers and $20,000 in specie on freight. MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 5,000 bales, all to the trade. The market was firm though tame. The sales comprised 4,000; American, 150 Pernam and Maran ham, at 6d. to 6/d.; 400 Egyptian, at 6d. to 11d.; and 500 Surat, at 31d. to sd. per lb. Railway Shares were dull. A few letters and papers have come to hand by the sailing ships that have dropped in from Australia. The latest we have seen are to the middle of March—two ships announced this morn ing, namely, the Abel Gower and the Himalaya, having left last February. The general production at the digging seems to be as large as formerly, and the new districts have in some instances pro duced such an ample return as to cause an attraction from the older places. Ballarat maintains its reputation, however, although monster nuggets were less frequently met with. Canadian Gully was giving a good return, as well as other localities, the names of which are not familiar to English readers. Business had been rather dull in gold, which was up to 768. 6d. and 765. 9d. per ounce. This, with 44d. per ounce for freight to London and the insurance charges, must destroy all margin of profit, and there are parties who draw the conclusion that the gold must be falling off. Certainly, the supply may have diminished for a time, but one cause of the gold rising in value would be the influx of sovereigns from England, and it will be interesting to learn how the banks can expect to make their former profits if they no longer can purchase gold to advantage. Some of the new establishments will find out that they have come into the field too late in the day, and that they must no longer expect to accumulate enor mous dividends at the expense of the Colonies. At the meeting of the South Australian Land Proprietors now being held, the directors have made a, highly satisfactory report, and declared a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. premium. The following are extracts " The directors have the satisfaction to state, that notwithstanding the excitement produced in the colony during the past year by the gold discoveries in the pro vince of - Victoria, and the consequent unsettled' state of the population, the interests of the company have not been injuriously affected. " The gold field discovered within the colony of Echunga, though it has yielded a fair return to many of the persevering diggers, has not proved so productive as was at first anticipated. The actual quantity obtained had not been ascertained ; but it was the 'opinion of many, that the diggers generally had been more success ful than they chose to admit, and that gold had been found to some extent in other districts. " With respect to the company's land, an examina tion has been made of the sections on the western branch of the Onkaparinga river, and particles of gold had been found in every hole dug ; it was not however considered sufficient to justify a continuance of the search in that locality. The party were engaged in ex ploring other districts of your property, and a report of a late date may be shortly expected. "The Inventories of the whole of the Company's property have been carefully revised by the colonial manager and the local Board of Advice up to the 30th October last, and, with a few trifling exceptions, the lands have been retained, at the same valuation as that of the preceding year. According to these documents, the total value of the property at the above date amounted to 327,2251. ss. 11d., a sum which the Direc tors believe is much under its actual value. " The sales of land have been limited almost entirely to tenants exercising their right of pre emption. They consist of 246 acres of the coun try lands, two small portions of acres of the town lands, and two allotment at the port, realizing toge ther the sum of 2,363/. 108. 6d. This amount, after deducting 4201., the advance obtained on th e valua tion of 1851, has been re-invested, with some addition, in the purchase of 3,003 acres of good agricultural land at a trifle above the upset price of 20s. per. acre. These lands are situated oa the rivers Torrens and Onkapa ringa, in the districts of Port Elliot and the Goolwa, and on the overland route established to Mount Alex ander gold diggings. The directors consider these pur chases have been made on most favorable terms ; the average price given at the la'nd sales in January last having been 365. 3d. per acre for country sections of second-rate quality. "Of the country lands, comprising 47,385/ acres,' nearly all of first-rate agricultural quality, there are 39,645 acres leased for terms of 7, 14, and 21 years, at rents varying from ss. to 10s. per acre ; 33,841 acres sulistantiailf fenced'; 14,891 acres are under crop; and 1,124 acres fallow. On seventy of the farms there are good stone and brick dwelling houses, with wooden farm buildings. " The Port property consists of five sections, contain ing 501 acres of land adjoining the water. About 22 acres of this property are leased and occupied. On a part of section A are erected the company s wharves, having a water frontage of upwards of 1,000 feet, with 14 feet depth of water alongside ; also two substantial brick warehouses used for bonded and other goods, be sides various other buildings let for offices, stores, and dwelling-houses. On another part of this p ro p er t y your patent slip is erected, on which vessels of upwards of 1,000 tons burthen have been repaired. " The ore and copper received from Adelaide and sold in this country during the past year, leaves a balance of 7651. 10s. 4(1. in favour of the mine. " The directors Nava the pleasure to announce that her Majesty's Government have acceded to the petition of the company for a charter of incorporation, as no ticed in the supplementary report presented to you in December last. A draft of the charter is now before the law officers of the Crown, and there is no d ou bt will shortly be completed. T o be in a position to obtain the charter, it was necessary to call up the instalments remaining unpaid on a portion of the new shares issued in 1851 ; and the directors are enabled to state that the holders of those shares have most promptly responded to the call. "A portion only of the capital authorized to be raised at that time having been called for, the directors pro pose to avail themselves of the authority then granted, to make a further issue of a limited number of shares, in order to pay off the debenture debt falling due in the present year ; this will now be effected on most ad vantageous terms to the company. Due notice will be given to the proprietors of the terms on which these shares will be issued. "To supply the vacancies created in the direction since the last annual general meeting, by the death of J. Ruddell Todd, Esq., and the retirement of Richard Foster, Esq., the board appointed, ad interim, Robert Chalmers, of Thurloe-square, Brompton, and George Gay, Esq., of Bedwell-park, Herts, both of whom now offer themselves for election to the proprietors." The rates for Bills of Exchange upon the prin cipal continental cities were rather lower yesterday afternoon, except Trieste, which were 11 3 to 6 for 90 days' paper. Paris was 25 22i to 25 ; Amster dam, 11 18f to ; and Hamburgh, 13 7-i to I. There has not been much d o i ng in English Stocks this morning, and prices continue very dull ; the amount of dealing recently has been so limited that the jobbers and brokers have good cause of corn ' plaint. The intelligence just received that the entry of the Russians into the Danubian pro vinces would not be considered a casus belli has been favourably construed in some respects, though Stock Exchange appreciation is not always a fair test.

Railway Shares have not been in much request, and the settlement of the account is occupying chief attention. Prices are without material varia tion. Gold Mine Shares are dull and rather lower. In the Land Companies' Shares there is scarcely anything doing. Agricultural are 1/. higher, and Netherlands are firmer. In Joint Stock Banks business has been quite suspended.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29, 1853. The Income Tax Bill has passed through its last stave in the House of Lords, and now only aivaits the Royal assent to become a portion of the law of the land, although prevented by the etiquette and privileges of Parliament from alter ing a money bill sanctioned by the House of Com mons. Several of their Lordships recorded their dissent from several details of the measure in the most earnest and emphatic terms. A division was even taken on one of the clauses, the rejec tion of which had been proposed by the Earl of WICKLOW, an d supported, among others, by the Lord Chief-Justice, whose personal experience taught him the grievous injury that must necessarily be sustained by many Irish landlords in being com pelled to pay the tax—not on the amount which they actually receive, but on that which they ought to receive ; so that in the case of a defaulting tenant they will have not only to submit to the loss of their rent, but will have to liquidate claims that could only be justified on the suppo sition that they were in actual receipt of their rents for which they were rendered liable. This is a grievous hardship—and, what renders it the more intolerable, it is one which applies almost exclusively to Ireland and to Irish land lords, and from which their English brethren are at least comparatively free. It cer tainly appears quite sufficient to impose the burden on Ireland, for the first . time, without rendering its operation even more inequitable and oppressive than in this country, where, in truth, it is quite bad enough as it is ; but it is a serious grievance to make an exceptional law far more stringent than that in force on this side of St. George's Channel, which, through the unjustifiable demands of the tax-gatherer, will complete the ruin of landlords already subjected to deep dis tress, and brought to the verge of poverty through the insolvency or dishonesty of de faulting tenants. There is no reason why the Income Tax should not be extended to Ireland why those who receive money from any source, applicable to their own purposes, should not contribute to the liquidation of the national liabilities and the maintenance of the national establishments, as well as their Eng lish brethren. But it should really be an income tax—not, as we have already stated, a charge on that which a man ought to receive, but had not received. But it may be said that there is a clause in the Bill which affords an adequate remedy for the grievance —that there is a provision to the effect that when a landlord (~an prove to the Commis sioners that he has ptlid income tax on rent which ho had failed to receive, in conse quence of the bankruptcy, insolvency, or absconding of, or the removal of goods by, auy tenant he should roc eive back so much of the duty as he paid in. respect of such rent lost to him, and this is; relied on by those who framed the enactment as a satisfactory answer to the objection ! Stronger evidence could not be afforded of their gross &Ind unpardonable ignorance on Irish affairs. The provision is little better than a mockery and a delusion, one that could rarely, if ever, be made available by the aggrieved And plundered landlord ; but which is even more impolitic than it is deceptive, inasmuch as its tendency, if it could be made available, would be to act as a direct incentive to the greatest cruelty and oppression, and a s the natural result to agrarian outrages and bloodshed, producing eventually a state of affs irs more deplorable than anything that has yet b.3en witnessed in that un happy land. The accuracy of tiles?. assertions can be easily tested. Indeed, any pErrson at all acquainted with Ireland, or the Ins' 13, will be enabled to substantiate them. It is: notorious that in Ire land the Bankrupt or Ins Olvent Courts are seldom if ever re3orted to, on account of arrears of rent. The arrest of the person of the defaulting tenant is the last remedy sougitt by the landlord, f or should he do so, he loses the chance of distrait,: ing ; and he' is also but too - well aware of the inu tility of the process, even if it a flame, and it could be ex ecu t ed without setting the country 2 occa sioning the most serious evils. Were it othe r - Wise the staff of des() tribunals would be materially enlarged, as ample occupation would be provided iu adjudica,thig on the cases of , THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 29, 18 3. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) A BIRD-FANCIER. -Wirt. Smith was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham charged with steali ng a bird cage containing a blackbird, the property of Mr. Isaac Brock, 53, Piccadilly. Police-constable 192 C stated that this morning, about 3 o'clock, he was on duty in Piccadilly, when he met the prisoner with the bird and cage produced. He stopped him and asked him what he was going to do with the bird, and where he got it from. Tile prisoner replied that the cage had fallen down from some house, and he was looking for an owner for them. Not be lieving his statement, witness took him to the station. Mr. Brock identified the bird and cage as his pro perty. Piisoner was fully committed. IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—Thomas Cullum was charged with stealing a pair of plated snuffers and tray, the pro perty of Police-constable Coffee, 31 E. Coffee stated that he and his wife were taking care of a gentleman's house, 24, Fitzroy -square, and that this morning, about eight o'clock, as he was about leaving the house. he saw the prisoner go down the area and put his arm through the window, and take the snuffers and tray produced from the window sill. He put them under his coat, and ran off, followed by witness, who took him into custody in Howland street. Directly the prisoner saw witness, he exclaimed, " Oh, Mr. Coffee, if I'd known you lived there, I should not have collared your snuffers." The prisoner was an old offender. Committed for trial. MARGARET PROFESSORSHIP OF DIVINITY AT OXFORD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The election of a succcessor to the lamented Dr. Faussett must, by statute, take place the day after to-morrow. Let every Protestant Graduate in Divinity be at his post : let him not promise his vote till he reaches Oxford. The Tractarian conspiracy is at work to grasp this important chair. The election lies with less than 200 voters.—l remain, Sir, yours, A GRADUATE IN DIVINITY. • Pall Mall, Thursday. 1 LINGUISTS IN THE ARMY.—On more than one occa sion we have endeavoured to impress upon the respected head of the British army the great importance of extend ing the range of acquirements, so as to include in each regiment officers possessing every variety of knowledge calculated to come to good account in foreign opera tions. We have not asked-that any officer should know more living languages than one in addition to a smat tering of the classics, but we have thought that that lan guage might occasionally be some other than French or German. We are 1)0W, perhaps upon the eve of oc currences which may practically exemplify the neces sity of the extension recommended. There is a chance —we hope a very remote one—of a collision with a Eu ropean power whose military resources have never yet been fully developed. An English force may be required to co-operate with the troops of France or Austria in the countries bordering upon the Mediterranean. If so, some knowledge of the. Italian, Russian, and Turk ish languages may be essential to our generals, if not to the inferior officers, in their intercourse with the people, or the prisoners of war, or in translating in tercepted dispatches. An acquaintance with the mo dern Greek might also be requisite, and a familiarity with the military topograghy of all the countries would prove of undoubted value to the army. Now where is there—in the present synopsis of military educa tion—any encouragement to the acquisition of such knowledge ? The degree of required attainment is stereotyped —every ensign who dates from 1849 has precisely the same stamp upon him, or nearly so. If a general suddenly wanted a quotation from Livy, he would find 50 officers in his camp ready to supply it ; if he needed a translation of a French dispatch, or a letter to be written in German, he would find a dozen ready candidates for the duty—et voila tout/ All other languages are tabooed, and but for the chance of a youth's having travelled in Italy, and mastered Lavallee's excellent treatise, not a man in the field would be able to ask a guide the way from Civita Vecchia to Ancona, or describe the peculiar fea tures of the country lying in the line of march. We again submit to the General Commanding-in-Chief that this is a defect—and a very serious one. The remedy is most simple, and we are satisfied that great a d van t age mus t accrue from its adoption. Instead of two living languages, give every candidate the choice of eight—French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Dutch, and Turkish or Arabic. Twenty cases can be ima gined in which they would be serviceable. Had Sir Alexander Burnes or Major Pottinger been en abled to translate Russian, they need not have sent intercepted dispatches all the way to Calcutta for interpretation. Lord Moira and his staff would have found their account in an acquaintance with the Dutch language in 1794 ; and Sir Thomas Graham and his officers in 1814 would have lost nothing by a mastery of the means of communicating with the friends of the Orange dynasty. What would not our officers have given in 1809 to have been able to speak Portuguese and Spanish ? How pleasant it would have been for Stuart's people in Calabria had they found themselves independent of Italian interpreters, and how useful Abercrombie's officers would have found Arabic in Egypt ! Taught by experience, no opportunity should be lost of enlarging the latitude of study. Indeed, the failure to encourage it will amount to a dereliction of duty in those who have in charge the direction of mili tary education.—United Service Gazette. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AND MURDER.—A woman named Revill attempted to destroy herself and infant child, on Monday last, in Plymstock, near Radford House, where there i s a p on d o f water ca l led the Middle or Fish Pond, which is in one part bounded by the coach road, near the lawn. The misguided person ran into the pond with her infant in her arms, and both would most likely have been drowned, but for the prompt and humane assistance of Dr. James Bulteel, who hap pened providentially to be driving hi his gig at the time. The worthy doctor immediately conveyed them to Rad ford House' where the woman, apparently dead, was wrapped in a blanket, and placed on the hall table, and friction having been properly applied, she was at length restored. In the meantime her husband, who works at Grant's Quarry, Prince Rock, was sent for; he could give no reason for the attempted suicide, but said that for some time she had been in a very low state of mind. It is stated that she was married at sixteen, and is now only twenty years of age. The infant is about ten months old. She had left at home a written paper, in which directions were given for the disposal of all her little worldly possessions.- -Plymouth Journal. THE SUGAR DUTIES.—The new and reduced duties on sugar on importation into this country come into operation on Wednesday next, the 6th proximo, by virtue of the act of 1848 (11 an d 12 Vi c., cap. 97). A reduction takes place on that day on sugar or molasses, the growth and produce of any other 13ritish possession than those into which the importation of foreign sugar is prohibited, being imported from any such possession ; and also on sugar or molasses the growth and produce of any foreign country, and on all sugars or moire !es not otherwise charged with duty. The new duties which come into operation on the 6th proximo, will con thine in force until the sth July, 1854. This is the last reduction of duties on foreign sugar by virtue of the act above nuoted, and at the termination of the period stated the duties on all kinds of sugar and molasses, whether imported from British possessions in America or elsewhere, or from foreign countries, will be entirely equalised, SHARE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)
