G SNTLEMEN t —Perm it me earnestly to draw your attention to the fund now raising by our body in aid of the destitute and starving population of Ireland and the Highlands of Scotland, and in doing so, permit me also to endeavour to hnpress upon you the urgency of the case, and its peculiar claims on our sympathy and commisseration as a body. Situated as most of us are, being the greater portion of the year from home, and constantly changing from place to place, there are few chances of our being called upon in our own localities, or indeed in any other locality, for these con tributions, now so generally and so generously accorded by all ranks and grades of society, from her most gracious Ma jesty down to the huinblest of her subjects. Feeling assured it is want of opportunity to join in the sympathy of their fellow-men that would leave the greater portion of our body as non-subscribers to such a cause, I hasten to apprise every member of the commercial community that now the time is come when he may, by an individual trifling contribution, aid in raising such a sum as will, in the aggregate, be an acceptable offering, and perhaps the means, under Providence, of saving from the horrors of famine many, many of his fallow-creatures. What is the limited amount of this contribution? a mere trifle—the usual cost of a dinner to one of us. But how many meals will it supply to a poor starving creature! Let 1 5 then unite, let us contribute, each and every one of us his luite. Let all those who wish to work in this good cause commence without delay; collectors are all that is wanting; contributions will soon pour in—those who have already entered the lists can speak to their unexampled success. If, then, but a small portion of those who are known on " the road" will only take the matter up, I will venture to predict that a sum exceeding in amount that of many important towns will be raised, and that the commercial travellers of the United Kingdom will prove to the world that in the laidit of their enjoyment of every comfort, and many of the luxuries of life, they are not forgetful of their starving fellow-creatures, nor unmindful 01 their duties to their fellow-men. Let us, then, once more, I say, unite in this truly great cause. We are, it is asserted, between twenty and thirty thousind in number. Five shillings, or even one shilling, each would make a handsome offering ; but if a fractional part of this great body will only come forward and, before the first of March, contribute a trifle, a great and good object will be attained, and thousands of their fellow-beings made b appy. In conclusion, I am enabled to state that it is the intention of the committee to transmit to the Relief Fund Committee in London the amount that may be collected, and leave its dis tribution entirely to their discretion. With heartfelt wishes for the success of so good a cause, I remain, gentlemen, your obedient servant, A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER. P.S.—Gentlemen anxious to become collectors may ob tain printed forms of the hon secretary, Mr. Allen, 57, Long row, Nottingham, or some of the principal hotels in the kingdom. White Hart Hotel, Leicester, Jan. 15, 1847. lIER MAJESTY'S STEAM SLOOP S P IIYN X. BROOK, 18L1E OT WIGHT, JAN. 25.—The Sphynx remains in the same position as when last mentioned, but it was much feared, when the foul winds set in yesterday, that she would not have withstood the force of both elements; how ever, she bas, being a new ship. Lieutenant Marryat succeeded yesterday morning, at low water, in floating ashore some few casks of provisions from the wreck; the wind blowing hard from the south and south- west, they could not communicate during the day, nor this morning. The 4-egsel has not altered her position, and is quite, upright, not making much water. Not having been pumped cut for some days, she has some feet of water in her held. All the dead lights abaft have been berthed in ; the hatchways have been covered in, and every other precaution taken to prevent her filling when the sea flows over her. Chain cables are about to be got out to keep her bow out to seaward, as at present. She is going to be lightened by " camels," upon a plan of Mr. Watts, the assistant master bhipwright of Portsmouth Dockyard. Captain Austen, R.N., of Woolwich, and Mr. Murray, chief engineer of Portsmouth, arrived yesterday, and the crew of the Sphynx are employed to-day constructing a raft to dis embark stores; should the weather (at present very violent) moderate, and the wind come to the northward, there is yet a hope of having her afloat next spring tides (about the 31st.; at least of saving the engine gear. Mrs. Craggs is improving in health daily, and Will soon be iironouncea out of danger. No other casualties have since occurred. The crew are well, comfortably lodged, and behave very orderly. The Scourge steam-sloop, Commander Caffin, has em barked some Portland surge-boats, for use at the wreck of the Sphvnx, with which she is hourly expected here. We believe that Commander Caffin, a most experienced and scientific officer, is of opinion that the Sphynx may yet be floated, and we are informed, will direct his energies, in conjunction with the other distinguished officers at the spot, towards so desirable an end immediately the tides and weather will permit. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Powramor:Trr, JAN. 26.—The Belleisle, troop-ship, Captain J. Kingcome, came into the harbour last night at sunset, and the troops she brought (the 71st Highlanders) were dis embarked to-day by the znen-of-war's boats at Clarence yard, whence they marched to the railway terminus, and departed by railway for Winchester. The Berate Junior transport, Lieut. Griffiths agent, sailed this morning for the River. The African steam-tug, Mr. John King, acting master commanding, sailed this morning for Sheerness. The Scourge steam sloop, Commander J. C. Caffin, which was supposed to have sailed for Bristol en Friday, returned this afternoon to Spithead. The Sphynx remains nearly in state quo, the late gales having failed to do her any injury. In fact the reef of rocks over which she ran when she got on Chore act as a sort of breakwater to the sea during the pre sent neap-tides. How far their preservative powers may ktretch, in case of a very high spring succeeding, with strong southerly or westerly winds, remains to be seen. At all events'she is but little injured at present. The system of arming the dockyard artizans to assist in the protection of the port, in case of necessity has been pro mulgated in port this week, an invitation to the men on the establishment to volunteer their services having been sent, and a return made on Monday. Those who are only hired, are ordered to attend drill, and any who hereafter enter the yard establishment will do so with that condition annexed. Drill is to commence in April, and be continued twice a week for one hour. Time to be paid for as extra time in the yard. Inspection twice a year. The Rattler steam (screw) sloop, Commander Moormin, came into harbour this afternoon to have her defects re paired. The Prince Regent, 120, is being rapidly completed as a two-decker of 90 guns. Men in large numbers are actively employed upon her. The Echo steam-tug broke down yesterday, and was obliged to return to harbour after starting for the Isle of Wight. She is being repaired and will be ready for service again to-morrow night. The Fanny tenter came up last night from the wreck of the Sphynx with a favourable report of her condition. Wootwicir, JAN. 26.—The Fairy steam-vessel, tender to the Royal Victoria and Albert steam yacht, 'under the charge of Second Master George H. Forater, had her steam up to thy, proceeded from Woolwich to Blackwell, and returned to her moorings opposite the Dockyard. The Odin steam-trigate, of similar dimensions as the Sidon steam-frigate, only immersed to a greater degree in t'.a water, went down the river this morning to try her en gines and speed. The Centaur is now loaded at Deptford with rice and meal, and will leave to-morrow to have her compasses adjusted at G ceenhithe, and then proceed to the west coast of Scotland v ith a supply of provision for the poorer inhabitants of the zbrides. THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT ON TIIE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. (FURTHER PARTICULARS.) The train which was the cause of the unfortunate occur mice was, it appears, the express up train , which left Exe t er at noon on Monday, and was running at its usual speed by the station at Southall, and the same moment the four o'clock down train was slacking its speed previously to its stopping at that place. The express t rain had p assed the station some fifty yards, and the four o'clock down train was about 200 or 250 yards also on the London side, when the tire of the driving-wheel next to the down rail broke into several pieces, 1 1 . 1 11 ch were projected in different directions with a terrible " I °c'tY- One portion of about four feet i n len g th was ... "•rown to a considerable height, and in its descent came to y on the front of the second-class carriage, next tle lu ggage van of the down train, forcing away a small portion of the fr ont end, as well as a longitudinal slip of the top, and nuking a clear breach into the carriage itself. So great was th e f orce compartments of the with which it fell, that the three first other.carriage were broken the one into the The second and third com partments were filled with pas seagers. Of those in the 5 rid compartment, two labour ing men, who were sittin g 0 , their heads, and their deaths The portion of the tire fell opposite each other, were killed. who was in the same com partment, instantaneous. A female , and is stated to be pertinent, was also struck on the injury, and from a in a dangerous condition. A sev e e a r d similar cause, happened to Mrs. Atonnt* a passenger by the express train. This l ady who was the a `Y d was Stting, wish her back to the engine, close to the down line, and is supposed to have beenv:tirr :zotlerllot blow on the hip, either by a small portion of the lire break ing through the hinder part of the carriage, or b of the latter. 41. medical gentleman, Mr. Daniel, O a splinterfSotl a, who was in the down train, rendered every possible assist anee to the female who was injured in the down train, who was instantly removed to a public-house adjacent. 111r.2. BL.rtin was brought to Paddington by the express train, and Dr. Locock immediately sent for. The engine (the Queen) attached to the express train, and which has a seven feet driving wheel, with frames inside the wheels, brought the train on to Paddington, where it arrived about a quarter of an hour after its time. Another portion of the tire fell on the down rail, and threw the engine attached to the down train off the line. She was, however, soon got on again, and the damaged second-class carriage having been re ntved to the goods shed adjoining, the train proceeded on, its jearney. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE —The only notice we think it necessary to take of the barefaced assertions of a morning contemporary, in which our authority is called into question, is, that what we stated in reference to the pro gramme of her Majesty's Theatre was founded upon docu ments of the most clear and undoubted nature. As regards the falsehoods publshed, they are part of the wretched system unblushingly adopted last year, and which was ul timately exposed, so as to deprive the concoctions of these parties of all character and credit. That it should have in creased tenfold in virulence at the present juncture does not surprise entertained, ; but what does astonish us is, that any hope it should this season m ee t w ith th e gu llibilit y nece s sar y to give it cur rency. is to excite an interest of 'rh aniusieg part of this affair is, that the these malevolent inventions and intrigues pos n t: and to do good to natural tendency attacked..—Morni ng Artillery, who has been station the ed very parties A VETERAN REEREITIE perhaps, the n.ost successful re of the Royal has s e er possessed.

Without a better administration of that law, the beneficence of Government, the munificence of Par liament, and the sagacity of our leading statesmen will be exerted to no purpose whatever. Without a juster distribution of the national alms, and a more rational arrangement on the part of the poor-law guardians in Ireland, it is folly to anticipate any effective diminution of the unparralleled miseries with which that country is afflicted. Lord Joins RUSSELL acknowledged as much on Monday evening, when he announced the intention of the Ministry to bring in a Bill conferring additional powers on the poor-law guardians, " to afford relief either in or out of the workhouse to ALL parties disabled by bodily ailment." The circumstances under which the Prime Minister made this announcement are most significant as to the necessity for some proceed• ing of the kind. Although Lord JOHN RUSSELL had just broached his scheme of district relief committees ; although he had just recommended to Parliamen t the granting of 50,0001. to the land proprietors of Ireland, for the purpose of enabling them to purchase seed for potatoes ; although he had just proposed a sys tem of loans advanced upon the terms of the Drainage Act, namely, at an interest of three and a half per cent., with the intention of affording assistance towards the improvement of estates, and the reclamation of waste lands ; although he had just submitted to the consi deration of the Legislature one of the most comprehensive propositions ever made by Prime Minister for the alleviation of the distress consequent upon the famine and destitution, he yet felt it to be his bounden duty, as one of her MAJESTY'S ad visers, and as a patriotic statesman, to demand of the Imperial Parliament extended powers for poor law guardians. It is this especially which as sures us that Lord JOHN RUSSELL has the Genius and the Courage which are most essential in the Premier at these epochs of peril and disaster. It is this which imparts such homogeniety to the speech delivered by the Noble Lord on Monday evening, which ren ders that speech admirable, not merely for its dissec tion, one by one, of the several exigencies of Ireland, but for its sagacious and systematic indication of the remedies which are alone calculated to re-organize the society of that kingdom, and which, above all, enumerates those remedies in a sequence so natural and judicious as to render them compact and effec tual, instead of casual and disjointed. The Noble Lord was conscious that millions might be lavished upon the completion of unremunerative public works, that thousands might be expended in the purchase of seed for potatoes, that bog-lands might be drained into cultivation, and tracks of dry soil irrigated into fertility, and that still the demon of starvation might continue triumphant, and men and women perish with hunger in the ditches. Lord JOHN RUSSELL saw that this would be inevitable unless some sub stantial provision were made for the famishing pea santry. He saw the calamitous consequences which would be inevitable unless Parliament were prepared, as he himself emphatically expressed it, "to enact that relief should be given by law to the destitute." Under the existing state of things the assistance afforded by the poor-law guardians is restricted within very narrow limits, while the destitution which requires assistance is altogether unrestricted — it is boundless. So many paupers can be accommo dated in a given workhouse, say 250, and there may be some 550 souls starving in the parish. What be comes of the 300 for whom there is no accommoda tion whatever ? The board says at once to the 300, "Be off! There's no room for you here. We are crowded as it is, and have no particular wish to breed a fever by close packing in the sleeping quarters." The natural and ostensible result of which is that the 300, finding themselves denied all aid by the paro chial authorities, and excluded from all opportunity of shelter in their sorest troubles, become reckless— try to get by foul means what they find it impossible to obtain by fair—turn rapparees and vagabonds, and are not unwilling to earn a guinea from the agents of "Molly Maguire " by driving a bullet through a " marked man," or bludgeoning a prosperous tenant upon his own threshold. Those are the evils arising from this systematic niggardliness. The workhouses being constructed only to contain a limited number of the poverty-stricken, there is always, from the per petual pauperism of Ireland, a surplus of the local pcor denied admittance within their walls. 1 In extraor dinary periods of privation like the present, that sur plus is naturally increased to a frightful extent. From this insufficiency of relief the peasantry are driven to the commission of offences against the law : they are transformed from the victims of famine into the perpetrators of crime : they are forced into a. lawless struggle for the preservation of their lives : they are incited to acts of insubordination and goaded to deeds of bloodshed. It is useless to mince the matter, and would be sinful to conceal the truth. When uneducated multitudes are refused all aid by the guardians placed over them by the Legislature, th e necessary consequence is, that they feel themselves impelled to appease the cravings of their own hunger by the help of brute force. All this might be readily obviated were the poor-law guardians, like those mentioned the other evening in the House of Com mons by Sir H. W. BARRON, to hire some additional premises whenever the dearth may make the applicants more numerous than the workhouses will contain. What can be more idiotic, in fact, than to build shel ter for so many and so many sufferers, and to remain inflexible to whatever contingent misery may he pro duced by an unforeseen emergency like that of the potato murrain ? As if poverty could be curbed with bricks and mortar; as if inanition were preventable by the restrictions of parochial parsimony; as if poor-law guardians could stand before the bil lows of famine, like CANUTE, and obstruct their advance by an idle mandate I Some thing must be done to compel the various boards of guardians throughout Ireland to apportion this distribution of assistance to the extent of the local destitution. These wholesale and retail rejections of the starving peasantry from the thresholds of work houses must, in some manner or other, be prevented. Either supernumerary lodgements must be provided for the latest applicants, when the workhouses them selves are thronged, or the granting of out-door relief must be rendered more frequent than heretofore. Otherwise the mortality of Ireland will still continue on its present frightful ratio of increase, and the duties of coroners will become more onerous than ever. That some arrangement of the kind just men tioned is necessitated by the present calamity—a calamity, says the Prime Minister, " such as has not been known in modern times "—is plainly shown by the statements and propositions of Lord JOHN RUSSELL. Impressed with a conviction of the perils resulting from the shortsighted distribution of the public moneys, hitherto sanctioned by the poor-law guardians, the Noble Lord has urged upon the Legislature the advisability of empowering those officials to relieve all the able-bodied applicants out of the workhouse whenever, by the influx of paupers, their admission within the workhouse has been rendered impossible. What we have here observed is of course applied simply to the extremest cases of destitution, to cases, for example, where the peasantry are denied all help from public or agricultural works by the peculiar position of their locality, or where physical infirmities, whether produced by the dearth or other- wise, preelude them from redeeming their fortunes by manual labour. Excepting in these instances, the multitude of sufferers in Ireland will be relievable by employment upon the completion of the unremune rative works already undertaken by Government, or upon those agricultural enterprizes and organised reclamations of waste land, which it is the intention of the Government to promote. Under all circum stances the workhouse is a dernier ressort, but, in GOD'S name, let there be that dernier ressort, Don't deny to the poor man the sorry consolation of having the workhouse, or a substitute for the workhouse, to fly to in the hour of his direst affliction. Don't de prive him of the last straw which he has to grasp at in his ocean of misery. Don't debar him from that scanty succour which is provided by every civilized state for the outcast and the pauper. Let the policy of such a denial be duly weighed, and let its respon sibilities be never forgotten. In addressing the House on Monday evening, Lord JOIN RUSSELL observed that it was needless for him to solicit their indulgence, he felt assured it would be voluntarily bestowed on him. The result fully justi fied his anticipations ; his discourse was listened to with indulgence, nay more, with approbation. That discourse is now before the country, where it will assuredly meet with as cordial a reception. On Monday evening party differences were forgotton ; the Parliamant met to deliberate on ,the necessities of the people. In the contemplation of their terrible sufferings, all minor considerations vanished, all fac tious quarrels were laid at rest—the Opposition could no longer oppose. And; in like manner, we doubt not, will all prejudices of creed and country be annihilated—nay, the very distinctions will not be thought of when the gloomy reality of Irish suffering becomes fully manifest to the English people. In the calamities of the present hour the recollection of former animosities will be effaced, the memory of former grievances will be appeased. " Disputes shall cease, and ancient feuds shall fail, Returning Justice lift aloft her scale." The very distinctions of English and Irish, of Pro testants and Catholics, will be obliterated in the com mon brotherhood of fellow- subjects and fellow-men. It is at a time like the present that such sympathetic senti ments are more especially required; and it is precisely at a time like the present that, happily, they arP most likely to prevail. It hai been said that - a common suffering-will make friends even of foes; how much more, then, should community of sorrows strengthen the bonds of those who should be as brothers ! That such will be the case we cannot doubt ; and we cannot doubt that the speech of the Prime Minister will meet with a hearty response throughout all Eng land. It can hardly fail to do so, indeed, for it has in a twofold degree claims on our approbation. In the first place, it excites sympathy for suffering, and points out and demands the means of alleviating it ; and, secondly, it elicits our approval for the ex ceeding justice and advisability of the great prin ciple which it enforces—namely, not that we should regenerate the Irish, not that we should do everything to help them, but that we should endea vour, to enable them to effect their own regeneration —that we should help them to help themselves. This is the great object to which all these new improve ments tend ; this is the great object to which both the Marquis of LANSDOWNE and Lord JOAN RUSSELL so eloquently and so strenuously alluded ; this is the great object which every lover of Ireland, which every well-wisher of ,the United Kingdom, must most ardently desire to see effected ; for by its achievement, and by its achievement only, can the well-being of millions be assured. In native strength, in native ranks, The only hope of freemen dwells." a n r -r d rit might might b p h t ich t i a E m n a g k l e a dead body to o arquis of LANSDOWNE'S We might as well singularlyattemw people b . y appropriate..dee_wi,hi benefit a speak or move as expect ex ternal influences. The only to the illustration the temporary w a s assistance T i . t he was ren derextended to Ireland, supporthe o b the s observed—" v t e r c was bending its head to a temporary blast, but vigour in the roots of the tree andto the vitality which it had in itself, that they must look for its permanent restoration." Let us trust this metaphor may be happily realised. England will be ready to do her possible —notwithstanding the privations to w hi c h the people o f this country must.... ,aubj .. ne ected, they will be ready to afford help in the hour of need. They will cheerfully contribute their aid to support the branches of the tree during the passing of the storm ; let us trust that in the meantime its roots will be imbibing a new life. That such a trust will not be vain we have every reason to believe. The speeches both of the Noble Marquis and the Prime Minister tend to encourage the most sanguine hopes ; indeed, much as we admire the various details of the Government plans, there is no part of the discourses of the noble speakers which elicits our hearty concurrence and cordial sympathy more fully than does the earnest and confident tone in which they declare their as surance that the exertions of the Irish will not be found wanting, and that the prosperity of Ireland is not to be despaire d of. " I do not despair," said Lord JouN ItussELL, " I see no reason why Ireland may not become a state enjoying the greatest pros perity." In order to effect this desideratum, how ever, he added that other than Government measures are required :—" I feel, with respect to these and other measures that there are things which the Crown cannot grant, which Parliament cannot grant, such as a spirit of self reliance and a spirit of co-operation. I must say plainly that I should indeed despair of this task, were it not that I think I see symptoms amongst the people of Ireland, both of a greater reliance upon their o wn energies and their own exertions, and a greater will ingness to co-operate with us." We would earnestly adjure all those who, alarmed at the proposal for the relief committees, imagine that the Irish are to be come a nation of paupers, and that the English are to toil for the maintenance of the idle —we would earnestly adjure all such dispassionately to peruse the foregoing observations of Lord Jowl RUSSELL. The whole speech of the Noble Lord, indeed, breathes the same inspiriting sentiments. We are not asked to work for the Irish, we are asked to enable them to work. Let us not regard that suffering people as some idle beggar who must be fed by our bounty, but rather as some unfortunate individual incapacitated by want and sickness. We will give him food to recruit his strength—we:will give him medicines to restore his health —we will set him in employment—we will make him • d in ependent—and then we have done with hi m. By the sweat of his own brow he will support himself —aye, and perhaps pay us back some day, with interest. On a dispassionate survey of all the Government measures they will b e f o und to have this one object in view, the affording of temporary assistance until permanent improvements are in progress. Many of the propositions can only be justified by the pressing exigencies which demand them; we must not confound them with the more salutary and durable reforms. The temporary and permanent im provements :may almost be regarded as the edifice and the scaffolding. What should we think of their common sense who should cry out against the latter, becaus3 it was not of elegant appear ance and of durable materials, because, in sooth, was not adapted for the purposes of habita- tion, forgetting all the while that the habitation was behind it In a little while the edifice itself would be raised, just in proportion, elegant in design, lasting in material, the theme of general admiration ; while the unsightly scaffolding—having served the purposes of its erection, having sustained the separate fragments till they formed the perfect whole —now, "its occupation gone," would be removed and seen no more. So will it be with Ireland. Pass but a few years, and our loans, and donations, 'and relief com mittees will disappear—they will only be ap parent in the benefits they have tended to procure. We are inclined to believe with Mr. FRENCH . , that " the fearful calamity with which it has pleased PROVIDENCE to afflict Ireland will do for that country, what neither king nor statesman could effect, by leading to the adoption of measures which will give her a fair field, and go far to promote her regeneration." For years Ireland has been the scene of distress, and the source of difficulty—let us trust, nay, let us believe, she will be so no longer. PANDORA'S box of evils has been poured out on that unhappy land, but now we have reached the bottom, now at last we have obtained Hope. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The unwarrantable attack made by Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN on her MAJEsr!'s Ministers, more particu larly on the Secretary for Ireland, during the pro- gress of the debate on the Address, called forth from that gentleman, and subsequently from the Premier, a vindication of the conduct and policy of the Government, as complete and satisfactory as could be desired. The blind and unreasoning fury of that attack defeated its own object, and rendered quite unnecessary the powerful reply, the perfect refuta tion, and the gentlemanly rebuke, that fell from the Irish Secretary. The well-known letter, an nouncing the intention of the Lord-Lieutenant to sanction presentments for reproductive works, and the non-assembling of Parliament in the month of November, particularly excited the bile, and raised the indignation of the Hon. Member for the county of Limerick, who declared that such acts merited an im peachment. Well might Mr. LABOUCHERE say that, " If the Member for Limerick county was prepared to propose that he should lie censured for having put his name to that letter, he did not believe that he would find another Irish Member to second his mo tion, nor could he find another Irish Member to concur with him in thinking that Parliament ought to have been assembled in November." This is, un doubtedly, the truth, for Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN fortu nately happens to be the only representative of Young Ireland in the Senate—the constituencies of the sister island not entertaining the same exalted opinion of the physical force party that the bellige rents do of themselves. The information conveyed by the authentic statis tics elicited, the explanation of the motives, on which the Government acted, and the general character of their intentions towards Ireland, were all of the highest importance. The startling fact that in ordinary times there were no less than 1,135,715 agricultural labourers, whose average earnings did not exceed from 2s. to 2s. 6d. per week, and that they, with their families, were out of em ployment and in distress during thirty weeks of the year, must prepare the mind for a knowledge of the awful state which any extraordinary calamity affect ing the means of livelihood of those - doilappy suf ferers must occasion. There was nothing to fall back upon,—no superfluity or comfort that could be cut off or given up. In the best times they obtained a scanty subsistence, barely sufficient to support human nature, and any deduction therefrom at once occasioned the most pitiable distress and destitution We have now a calculation that may be relied on as to the amount of loss estimated at a pecuniary value, and also at the quantity of produce that has been abstracted from the average supply. Mr. RICHARD GRIFFITH, the eminent civil engineer, and probably the most distinguished statistician in the United Kingdom, undertook, at the request of GovernMent, to make an estimate, and we regret to say that hia report not merely confirms the conjectures previously hazarded, but shows an amount of damage far greater than any yet imagined. The loss, then, in money oc casioned by the potato disease appears to be no less than 11,250,0001. sterling, and by the failure of the oat crop 4,666,0001. sterling, making together 15,916,0001. sterling, or about one-third more than the gross annual rental of Ireland; and by weight and measure a loss of 8,437,500 tons of potatoes, and 5,227,000 quarters of oats. These figures will show more powerfully than any language the extraordi nary extent of the national calamity, and the imperative necessity for Imperial •aid to the suf ferers, and a general participation in the amount of damage, so extensive, that if stiffered to fall ex elusively on a single class, and that already an em barrassed and impoverished one, it must wholly crush and destroy it. The policy of the Government respecting their non-interference with the import provision trade, and the necessity of a strict adherence to the pledge which the Premier was required to give in the course of last autumn was fully justified, and the fatal results that must have attended any other course clearly pointed out. Lamentable and heartrending as have been the sufferings and destitution of the people, they would have been fearfully increased if the Government had adopted any other line of on duct. A distinct and positive answer was re quired by the merchants engaged in the provision trade. The simple question was, will the Govern ment interfere with our operations, or come into the market in opposition to us ? We have a right to know before we embark our capital in the speculation. If you refuse an answer we will take it as an indication of the intention of the Government so to interfere, and withdraw in time from the contract. What, then, could the Government do ? They had only the option of giving the required pledge, or of undertaking the task of providing,_ at any cost or expenditure, under any difficulties, not only for the people of Ireland, but also the people of Great Britain, who, by such a course, would have been involved in misery nearly equal to that endured in Ireland. They selected the wise and statesmanlike principle—they gave a direct and straightforward answer. We will not interfere with the import trade or, under ordinary circum stances, with the retail trade; and fortunate it was that they did so; for, otherwise, the private speculators would have withheld their capital, and the destitution and mortality throughout the country would have been tenfold that which has unfortunately taken place. And a great distinction existed between the cir cumstances under which the late Premier caused the importation of Indian corn and those of the present exigencies—that was a great experiment which, though eminently success ful, could not safely have been repeated. The gigantic efforts of the Government by the legitimate means open to them may be judged of from the simple fact, that there are at present over 450,000 labourers employed on the public works, while the officers en gaged under the Board of Works are-74 inspecting officers, 3G engineers, 385 surveyors, and 1,840 over seers ; this is the inadequate staff, the paucity of whose numbers have been so loudly complained of. It also appears that the almost unanimously ex pressed opinion of the intelligent gentlemen, both in and out of Parliament, consulted, was that Parliament should not be called together in November, but that the Government should adopt such measures as they might think necessary, on their own responsibility, and trust to a Parliamentary indemnity. The St. Felersburgh Journal of the 15th publishes an account of the repulse of an attack upon the Russian fortress of the Golowin, in the Caucasus. The enemy is stated to have retired after sustaining a loss of 50 men. The Russians state their loss at four kille ti d and 12 wounded. The EMP EROR, as a proof of his sasfac tion at the brilliant defenc e of the garrison, has pro moted some of the officers, and granted decorations to some of the privates. The St. Petersburgh journals publish a royal re script, conferring on M. LEVERRIER, the astronomer, the order of St. Stanislaw; of the second class. Committees have been formed in Russia for inquiring into the condition of the peasants on the seigniorial ter ritories, in order that a statute may be prepare for their amelioration. In 29 g overnments there are 21 d ,148 landowners who have not more than 25 peasants, while others have only a single portion of land without pea cants. The Government has deeidA upon tram:Tim-A ing these reduced nobles to the lands belonging to .the Crown in the governments of Simbirslc and T0h01,1 , .

The Swiss Federal Gazette of the 21st January says— "We learn that the French Ambassador, M. de Bois-le- Comte, who had resided at Zurich since his arrival, but who left a few days ago to take his seat in the Chamber of Peers, will, on his return, fix his residence at Berne. On the other hand, the Ambassadors of Prussia and Bavaria will follow the example of those of Russia and Austria and leave Berne (or Zurich. The French Ambassador was not a party to the note addressed by the Ambassadors of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, to the Vorort of Berne; but it is supposed that the French Government approves of the views of the three Northern Courts relative to the federal duties of the Vorort Madrid papers of the 19th have arrived. The reports of an approaching change in the Ministry still con tinned rife in Madrid, and it was even said that the Ministry would be dissolved before the debate on the Address could come on in the Chamber of Deputies. The KING, it was said, had shown to Senor ORTEGA, a Deputy in his confidence, a letter written by the QUEEN, in which her MAJESTY expresses her wish for the forma tion of a more constitutional Cabinet. The debate in the Senate still continued, and on the 18th there was a " scene" between General SERRANO and Senor ISTURITZ, in which the personal recrimi nations which were exchanged were of so violent a cha racter that it was supposed a hostile encounter would have been the consequence. On the 19th several Sena- tors attacked the Ministry for their connivance at the ttng out of the Flores' expedition, when Senor ISTURITZ in the most emphatic manner denied, in the name of himself and his colleagues, all participation i❑ or connexion with that enterprize. A telegraphic dis patch announces the election of Senor CASTRO Y Oaozco as President of the Chamber of Deputies.

Maann) BoasA, JAN. 19.—The Three per Cents. were done at 31% for cash; the Five per Cents., at 20 . 3i 1 ; the Coupons, at 18%; the Vales, at 8%; and the Debt without Interest, at 64. We have received the Pal; papers of Monday. The Presse has the following announcement : " We must do Lord Palmerston the justice of acknowledg ing that he has perseverance in his designs, his cupidities, and his hatreds. He has not abandoned his projects of 1840 upon Egypt; he has only modified them. He has no longer the idea of taking forcible possession of Egypt, but of buy ing it I Offers have been secretly made at Alexandria and Constantinople for the inheritance by England, on the death of the Viceroy, of all his royal spoils, on terms discussed and settled. If these offers should be accepted, what will be done by France—isolated France?" The meaning of this we take to be, that Lord PAL ISIERSTON has discovered and circumvented the intrigues in which the French Government has for some years past been engaged, in order to get possession Tither by fraud or by force of Egypt. The French Government has " never abandoned its projects upon Egypt—it has not abandoned them to this hour, although there is more caution in the conducting them at the present moment than was necessary, during the hybernation of Lord & ABERDEEN at the Foreign-office. The Journal du Havre announces the arrival in that port of 35,000 barrels of flour by eight yessels , fr9m the United States. This, it says, forms part of -100,000 barrels that have been shipped in the United States for Th. Commeve has - the following on the subject of the prices of bread and bread-stuffs : "We said yesterday that, the price of bread in Parii , would probably be raised to fifty centimes ,the kilogramme from the Ist of next February. The medium price at the Halle yesterday has stilt further raised the price of flour, which regulates the price of bread, and brought it to 'sBf. the price rise sixty-five centimes more, the price of bread will be 51c. Fortunately, this does not appear to be probable. In the principal markets in the neighbourhood. of Paris there has been, it is true, a new augmentation of price, but to-day we receive more satisfactory accounts from Havre, where the arrivals of corn and flour from America are daily increasing. At Havre prices have fallen very considerably because arrivals are expected, which are estimated at 100,000 barrels of flour. On the other hand, the vessels loaded with grain for Marseilles, which were detained in the Bosphorus or Mediterranean by contrary winds,' begin to arrive at their deStination, and their number is said to be from 400 to 500. The news from the west is also better. There are no new outbreaks. With tranquillity the markets will be supplied with grain, and the prices will become moderate." According to Emancipation of Toulohae, the du . thori ties have received information that on the night of the 18th inst. CAnannA slept at a chateau near Faryeaux. For several days the gendarmerie have been scour ing the country in search of the redoubted Carlist chief, who, however, has hitherto managed to escape capture_ The Minister of Marine has ordered all money due by his department to be forth" ith paid both in Paris and the seaports. It is supposed that the money thus thrown into circulaion for contracts, arrears of pay, &c., will serve to alleviate the present pressure on trade and manufactures. General FLORES has arrived in Paris. The Corn Importation Bill was introduced into the Chamber of Peers on Monday. "The calculated expenses in the Budget of 1848, for the department of war, amount to 331,510,506 francs. The effective of the army amounts to 342,767 men, and 83,851 horses; 282,767 men, and 68,361 horses, being for home ser vice; and 60,000 men, and 15.490 horses for Algeria. In the budget of the marine, the sum demanded is 140,934,819 francs." It will be seen that the fall of prices in London occasioned a similar, though not So extensive, a movement in Paris on Monday, on which day the Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse at 77f. 50c. ; the Five per Cents., 117 f. 20c. ; the Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,212 f. 50c. ; Rouen, 872 f. 50c. ; Havre, 670 f. ; Great Northern, 607 f. 50c. ; Avignon, 827 f. 50c. ; Vierzon, 570 f. ; Bordeaux, 537 f. 50c. ;Basle 210 f.

Four serious fires have occurred in different parts of the metropolis since half-past eleven o'clock last night. The following are the particulars : In Connaught-terrace, Edgware-road, at fifteen minutes before twelve, upon the private premises in the occupation of Mrs. Sarah Silby. The fire, which was caused by the copper flue, obtained considerable hold of the board timber in the party walls. The firemen had much difficulty in staying the progress of the flames, and this was not done till much of the wood work and the walls were removed by cutting away. Supposed to be insured in the Alliance. AT LIMEHOUSE.—About half-past one this morning, a de structive fire was discovered upon the premises in the occu pation of Mr. Samuel Edwards, brewer, &c., Church passage and Frederick-street, Salmon's-lane, Liinehouse. The brewery was nearly destroyed, and the dwelling com municating therewith burned out, with the bxception of the front room on the first floor. Building and contents insured in the Phoenix. The adjoining house in Rhodeswell-road, in the occupation of Mr. Tedman, hairdresser, was damaged in a trifling manner—not insured. AT NEW Cucts.— Shortly before three, upon the pre mises, the property of J. Trimnell, Esq. (the occupier) situate in St. James's-place, New Cross. This fire was not extin guished until the basement floor, and flooring above, were severely damaged by fire, and the valuable furniture mate rially damaged by heat, smoke, and water. Building in sured in the Licensed Victuallers' Office, furniture in the Atlas. The adjoining house, ja the occupation of Mr. C. Bryan, was also damaged. IN TIDE OLD KENT-ROAD —Just before five o'clock the fourth fire broke out in the building occupied by Mr. J. Hoxton, baker, Mason-street, Old Kent-road. In conse quence, it appears, of a defect in the crown of the oven. Fortunately the fire was extinguished before any very ex tensive damage was done, except to the lofts immediately over the bakehouse. Contents not insured; building un known. MR. WILSON'S NIGHT FOR THE HIGHLANDERS.— The Princess's Concert Room was last night crowded to the ceiling, and many persons were reluctantly compelled to leave the doors without being able to procure admission. Mr. Wilson's generous act was therefore well seconded by the public, and he may well be proud of the crowd that his talent drew round him in so praiseworthy a cause. He was most enthusiastically cheered when he - made his appearance, as much as to say, "We honour you for the noble example you have set to all other performers." Mr. Wilson gave his en tertainment on the melodies of the Highlands, than which there could have been nothing more appropriate for the oc casion. He introduced a beautiful song, written by Mr. James Ballantine, of Edinburgh, entitled "The Highlanders' Farewell to Home," which seemed to touch the hearts of the audience. Ile was in capital voice, and gave all the songs with his accustomed excellence. Before Mr. Wilson com- Tepees his campaign for the season in London, he is to visit Edinburgh, Glasgow, and also Paris, where he is to sing in March. lie has our best wishes for his continued success. EXPERIENC.US OF A GAOL CHAPLAIN. ” -A great deal of interest has of late been, and continues to be taken in the very important subj ec t o f pr i son di sc i p li ne, an d t h e re clamation of criminals, and several works have been written, which, to say the truth, have communicated much general information touching this matter. But general treatises, however elaborate, have not half the effect, and consequently are not nearly so useful, as particular facts. It is for this reason that we hail " The Experiences of a Gaol Chap lain," just bublished by Mr. Bentley. It is indeed a dark page,from life's volume, but which, whilst it is one of the most valuable disclosures ever made as to the economy of our prisons and the moral condition of their inmates, is one of the most interesting collections of narratives ever published. ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL.—Yesterday a special ad journed meeting of the supporters of this institution was held at the School, situate near New-cross, Deptford, for the pur pose of electing a president in the room of Admiral Sir Charles Ogle. Lord Prudhoe had, it was understood, suf fered himself to be put in nomination, but when the time for the election came his Lordship communicated his inten tion of declining the honour and duties of the office. In consequence no election took place, and the meeting again adjourned. ()N,BY and COMMERCIAL NE:WS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a dull market for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday. Sales onlv 1,500 bales, of which speculators took 500 Arne 'lean. finial r , 3li , ed OM., and American 6Ac. to 7%d. per lb. Shares were firmer. 'There was a good attendance yesterday at the sale of Rail . way Shares by Messrs. Lamond and Co., and a fair businPfiv, was done. The. quotations arc slightly in advance of Friday' OS' last, and the market generally was more healthy, in absence of forced sales. The following are a few of the pen"- cipal sales : Great Western of Bengal £o 6 ° Newport and Abergavenny Boston,Stamford, andßirmingham 1 Eastern Counties, York Extension 4 1 1 9 2 . g Northern and Southern Connecting Northern Counties Union Reading, Guildford, and Reigate 3 15 0 Taw Vale Extension and Dock Great Northern ....

There are ample stores at o ti; command, even if we had to look to no other country the_ the United States, but the difficulty is that our leg islatio n does not encourage foreigners to receive paYme9 t ... f iv goods. Aa a writer on banking matters very .I"7Alf remarks :—" We have condemned ourselves, by an A c ' - Parliament, to pay foreigners in a currents which is sail and valuable, although we continue to buy of them in Y alu, ferent one, which is abundant, and not inteinaically able. In short, we have, by an Act of Parliament, ID gold the cheapest article in Great Britain, under all circur: stances, whether of abundance or scarcity, thereby brihn ourselves an increase in payments of gold, and au 'a attendant consequences, by increase of purchases inst ea i „ &- of an increase of sales ; for what foreigners wl‘l y be so foolish as to take dear goods, when " -- ;1 . had the option of taking cheap gold? Nothing is so clear, that it is (under the law of 1819) the interest of forel e g: . countries not to buy from us, except they can get our In chandise at rates of price so low as to make it more adlln r , tageous for them to take it than the proff e red gold 7 0 31. 17s. 10 1 / 2 d. per ounce. Driven by the bitter exnall e l i to of this fact, British manufacturers have striven with aL' i „ s , might of desperation to cheapen their produce l/v - 10 gold price; they have reduced many articles of staple manufacture 200 and 300 per cent. to induce purchapp And how have they done this? They have dons grinding the working man down to a condition of unparalleled in human experience; by suffering thein swf ro so intensely as to make their. own condition almost VI II than the poor victims at the loom and the forge; by (Ayr on, in short, a desperate struggle of years with an ear . population on the one hand, and the grasp of the Ol t power on the other; a struggle in self-defence, a n d 4, , existence." Possibly this statement is somewhat colour ed' but the groundwork is, we fear, too correctly desert Further, the same party elucidates the matter by ob sa i' v n to, that " Before the Bill of 1819 was passed and own! operation, gold rose and fell in price according as f' plentiful- or scarce, wanted or not wanted, just ii t . other commodity. If a foreign merchant, having tance to receive from this country, found a difficulty to ho posing of British goods at a remunerating price, he h e o r returns sent out to him in gold, provided that he P to , eeived that it would be more advantageo us , e s t,, him. But, if in consequence of a bad hi";,uf or from any other cause, our imports were none —its, large, without any corresponding increase in our, many persons found themselves in the same position this the merchant just supposed—anxious to obtain gold ill, iv country, in order to have it remitted abroad; and then tit; vious• to the Act of 1819) the result was, that the_ demand for gold thus produced raised its price, an d it hat ho t again matter of consideration with such parties,_ wi! cj e it would not be more profitable, . since the In l At o gold had risen, to export goods instead. And if the,Milal gold became high enough, as it was sure to do , " jos likely .to be exported in such quantities as to inconclallgie, us, goods were exported instead of gold. But sin ee . o t st because the price of gold is fixed by Act of Parlia,„l n ; this 17s. 10 1 4 d. per ounce, it has become impossible tn i " the should ever happen ; for, however hig h great •else. :nay ' . l?e, however ,4 -4411 be ; its ; . 6 T iur i ,ca d • a m . ve b;t! . . r t e r; a g n o d ld t , h •a e n re t i lZt , Le t V t e h r e sc c a on r c se e g i s y- r otir o o be yfiat_they .may, gold nitpt,akwa.yg in payment e l asi a'.o., iinports,..wheneer theseexceed.onnexpoits to any c test able amount."
