AT 19, BERNERS-STREET, OXFORD-STREET, LONDON, ON THE SECRET CAUSES OF SELF-ACQUIRED MISERIES Lord Seaton marched his division yesterday to Runny meade, threw a pontoon bridge over the bend of th e Thames there, fought a sham battle in Magna Charta Island, and, the troops having rested for dinner on the field of action, returned by Staines to the Camp. This was the hardest day's work that has yet been gone through by the men, and was certainly one of the most entertaining and gratifying to the spectators who witnessed it. The site selected, apart altogether from its historical attractions, was admirably adapted for setting off the chief operations to advantage. On either side of the river extend spacious parks, well wooded, but still abounding in open spaces affording the requisite facility for the movement of troops. On the north bank the land is flat, but the south rises to a considerable height, and is laid out in fine green slopes, whence a splendid view could be obtained of all that took place yesterday. Lord Seaton certainly has an eye for the picturesque as as well as the practical in his profession, to have hit upon such a spot for a field day. The valley of the Thames throughout its course scarcely offers a richer or more striking perspective than at Runnymeade. Wood and river, swelling upland and fat meadow—all that - constitute the charm of quiet English scenery—are there combined, and " the blast of war blown in the ear" in such a retreat produces upon one an effect almost melodramatic. Things have changed about Staines and Egham since the Earl of Winchilsea's "proud Barons" met in that neighbourhood. In spite of the cab strike several thousands of Londoners got down there to wit ness the pontooning yesterday ; and (the military opera tions over) many went quietly to fish in punts for roach before returning to town. Such economy of time would Dave rather astonished people in the days of King John. The example set by Colonel Challoner in letting Lord Seaton have access to his park, notwithstanding the considerable sacrifice which it entails, was followed yesterday by Mr. Prior, the present occupant of Anker wycke-house. A similar privilege must have also been conceded by Sir John Cathcart on the south sides of the river. AND DISAPPOINTED HOPES. THE SILENT FRIEND. In Six Languages—Fiftieth Edition. CONTAINING THE REMEDY FOR PREVENTION OF DISEASE. Illustrated by Ono Hundred Anatomical Coloured Engravings and Cases. New Edition, enlarged to 200 pages, price 2s. 6d., by post, from the The operations of yesterday bore some resemblance to those at Virginia-water, in the Queen's presence, with the former division. The troops had a considerably longer march, however, and the pontooning though less extensive, had to be carried out under the more natural circumstances of a strong current. The sham fight was also much better worth seeing and better seen than that on the occasion referred to, and if the brilliancy of the final review at the close was wanting the sight of 8,000 men dining in one field may be regarded as a fair sub stitute. With such despatch did Lord Seaton move from the camp that the Sappers reached the point selected for crossing the river at a quarter to 11 o'clock. They set to work with great alacrity, and in less than three quarters of an hour the pontoon bridge was quite com plete. The first regiment that passed over it was the 79th Highlanders, the light company of which had been ferried over previously in skiffs, and was already busily engaged in skirmishing. While the bridge was in course of formation the attention of the enemy was drawn off considerably to the left by Sir Richard England's bri gade, which formed in imposing force on a fine grassy slope, and, with one of the batteries thundering over head, made a demonstration as it was intended to attack higher up the river. The effectiveness of this display was a sufficient excuse for the enemy being misled by it. Nothing could be finer—the cannonade, the mass of armed men, and the rattling fire of the sharpshooters along the river bank, all investing the sylvan beauties of Cooper's-hill with a new and almost terrible attrac tiveness. When the pontoons had nearly reached the the north side of the river, and the skirmishers of the 79th emerged from the shelter which concealed the bridge, the enemy at once became aware how they had been outwitted ; but it was too late. The guns of the Horse Artillery covered the passage. One of the bat talions of Guards speedily followed the 79th, and the 4th Light Dragoons came after them, then the other battalions of Guards and as fast as it could be brought up, the rest of the division. The advance through the rich meadows which lie on the north side of the Thames at this point was one of the prettiest spectacles that have been witnessed since the formation of the en campment. It had all the precision of a review, and the discipline of the Highlanders and the Guards, who bore the chief burden of it, excited general admiration. The enemy, exposed to a heavy fusillade in front and a flank fire from the south side of the river, retired across a small bridge into Magna Charts. Island, whi ther they were impetuously followed by the leading bat talions of the division. The insulation of the spot in which the Great Charter was signed is not of a very for midable character, but it afforded a good opportunity for practising the regiments as they came up, in those nice manoeuvres by which narrow bridges are crossed in the face of an enemy. The meadow has probably not till yesterday been put to any public use since a few strokes of the pen made it famous some hundred years ago. Like King John, Colonel Vicars. who is to the Chobham army what Hannibal was to Rome, found himself very hard pressed in Magna Charter Island. The right of his little force, resting upon the river, was turned, and lie was compelled to retreat northwards. Crossing by a little bridge the brook or ditch which here forms the boundary of the island, he converted that obstacle into a line of defence, and, making a sadden stand, arrested the progress of his pursuers. The Guards deployed into line, with the 4th Light Dragoons on their left, and opened a heavy fire. The horse Artillery and one of the foot batteries were also brought to bear, and the 79th, by a skilfully masked movement, suddenly poured over the bridge a large party of skirmishers. But the enemy were determined not to yield. To obtain shelter from their imaginary cannonade the entire force in action laid down till the rest of the division came up. The Horse Guards appeared on the right. The other battalions of the Guards came forward, that hitherto in advance re tiring. Another great effort was made, but the High landers were obliged to recal their skirmishers within the shelter of the island, and, when everybody was be ginning to wonder what would happen next, the whole division was resting and dining. Their long march had well disposed them for both. In returning to camp they did not recross the pontoons, but went round by the bridge at Staines, the band of each regiment, as it marched, playing to shorten the road. Music is said to exercise a remarkable influence in this way. But the troops now at Chobham are very active, and stand a heavy field day quite as well as their pre decessors.

SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medica Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. An accident took place at the pontoon bridge just as the last field battery was crossing it, by which two horses were drowned. Such casualties are to be ex pected in operations of the kind, and we are only glad that in the present instance matters were not worse. The bend of the river at this point has a depth of 9 or 10 feet, and the team drawing one of the guns over be coming unmanageable, the six horses, gun and all, tum bled in, sweeping along with them several of the sap pers. The men escaped with a ducking, and four of the horses were cleverly rescued, but the two wheelers, weighed down by the carriage, could not be saved. The poor animals made strenuous efforts to get away, and carried the gun a surprising distance from the point at which it was first submerged.

Miss Burdett Coutts stated, in answer to the insolvent, that she stated she was alarmed by being addressed by a stranger. She did not recollect what he (the insolvent) had said to her. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT-JULY 27. IN THE MATTER OF RICHARD DUNN. cose st ad t is h eiie saying e r knewbea the The insolvent w i s h e d t o k now w h at h e h a d d one t o frighten her or p u t h er i n fear. lie declared that he had never done anythi ng o f th e ki n d . H e met h er i n t h e fielnd h took off t e h h v e e g r y e n s t o l r e r m y a i r : he had done anything to h ur t her feelings. Miss Burdett Coutts was then examined by Mr. till he came to Harrogate. She never told any of her servants to give him any encouragement to come down She received two letters signed by this person. She went down to Harrogate for her health. She went to a hotel there. She heard that Mr. Dunn had taken apartments there, and from what she had heard, she was apprehensive of danger, which made her apply to a magistrate. She had before visited Harrogate, without being annoyed. The circumstance she had mentioned occurred about Aug. 1838. She applied to Mr. Mar joribanks, and he came down. Mr. Dunn was com mitted to custody to the Petty Sessions. She left Harrogate and took no further notice of the matter. After Mr. Dunn's release he came to London and con tinued his annoyance. She was obliged to have a police. man in her house. She could not visit a place of divine worship. She went to a chapel near her house, because she thought it would be more safe. She understood this person was there, but she did not see him, and the clergyman took some steps to prevent this annoyance. She had applied to a magistrate in London to protect her. Mr. Cooke asked the lady hether she had ever written to the insekrent ? Miss Burdett Coutts declared that she never had written to him, or authorised any letter to be written. The letters she had received from him she handed to her attorney, Mr. Humphries. Further, Miss Coutts, in her examination, said she sent the letters to her attorney with the view of being protected from the insolvent's annoyance. She never authorised this person to draw on the bank in the Strand. She had been examined before Lord Denman, when he was indicted for perjury. The authority, as it was called, to draw the bill for 100,0001., beginning " Send to Coutts your bill, there's lots in the till," was handed to the lady, and she stated that she did not authorise him to write it, or anything like it. She had exhibited articles of the peace against him in London. The re-examination of the lady then commenced, and continued for some time. The insolvent read some doggerel verses, and made observations. He called for some letters which he said he had received from Strat ton-street, and Miss Coutts was all the time seated on the bench. Mr. Commissioner Law interposed several times ' re questing the insolvent to fi n i s h k exam i na ti on o f the lady. Mr. Cooke several times asked whether she might retire. The insolvent further read some correspondence, which he said he had received, and which he answered. Mr. Commissioner Law at length said, only one more letter should be read. After some further examination, the lady was al lowedto retire, having been in court for nearly three hours. ln answer to the Court, the insolvent admitted that the letter containing the authority was a " gull" one, but Rot such a one that a lady would not write. Mr. Maijoribanks was examined—He told the insol vent the authority was not in the handwriting of Miss Contts, and Mr. Robinson, a clerk, also said the same. The insolvent then gave his evidence, and made obser vations. He had acted bona fide in the matter, as he believed the letters were written by Miss Coutts. He also complained of the manner in which judgment had been obtained against him. Mr. Cooke addressed the court, and, at six o'clock, the insolvent begged an adjournment, as he was unable to reply at that late hour. _ The case again came before the learned Commissioner, and attracted a crowded court. The former proceedings were reported on Saturday. It was understood that Miss Burdett Coutts would be called as a witness, and public curiosity, from the details already given, was excited. Mr. Cooke appeared, as on the previous occasion, for Miss Burdett Coutts, and the insolvent was himself his own attorney and advocate. The case was specially fixed for 12 o'clock, and at that hour Mr. Commissioner Law proceeded from his own court to the court of the Chief Commissioner, to whom the case had been allotted. Every part of the court was soon filled, and Lord Harrowby and Lord Charles Wel lesley had seats on the bench. The insolvent announced that, although he had issued subpoenas for Miss Burdett Coutts andM • • Mr. b a nks, he had not served them, on which Mr. Cooke observed that they were in attendance. Miss Burdett Coutts entered the court, accompanied by a lady and the nobleman mentioned, and being ac commodated with a seat on the bench, the case pro ceeded. Miss Burdett Coutts was examined by the insolvent. She stated that she was at Harrogate in 1838. She re ceived two letters signed Richard Dunn, and she applied to a magistrate of the place for protection. She saw the Rev. Mr. Rhodes, who was a magistrate there. Mr. Marjoribanks did not show her any of his (insolvent's) letters, or she should have declined to have read them. If he had said he had a communication from Miss Coutts, it would have been a falsehood. The insolvent referred to some letters which he said he had received from Mr. Marjoribanks, requesting an in terview with him. The letters were read, and continual remarks were made as the case proceeded. Miss Coutts had to hear a number of letters read, and observations made by the insolvent, the learned Commissioner re peatedly interfering, in order that the examination might proceed in a proper manner. Mies Burdett Coutts, in reply to other questions of the insolvent, said Mr. Maijoribanks had told her generally what had passed. That gentleman was now in court. The insolvent asked Miss Coutts what was her opinion as to a lady receiving letters from a gentleman ? Mr. Cooke objected to the question. Mr. Commissioner Law said it was a mere waste of time. The insolvent insisted that he had a right to put the question. He would have the question answered. _ Mr. Commissioner Law decided that the lad y had liberty to answer or not the question. Mr. Cooke recommended Miss Coutts not to answer. Miss Coutts said she did not think a lady was called upon to answer the question. Some more interlarded remarks were made by the in solvent, who referred to some papers, and was requested over and over again by the court to proceed with the examination of the lady before the court, e The insolvent wished to refer to a letter from Sir . _ The ease was adjourned to Saturday, and as the reply is not given, the complaint of the learned counsel is reserved. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.—Mr. Acton, of Queen Anne-street, waited upon Mr. Jardine, to ascertain if the New Hackney Carriage Act enabled a cab-driver, who was hired by time, to charge 2s. for the fraction of an hour. The applicant stated that having hired a cabman for one hour, he had occasion to detain him a few minutes over the time. He consequently gave him 2s. Gd.— that is, 2s. for the hour, and Gd. for the overtime, which, being within fifteen minutes, was all, he con , ceived, that the driver was entitled to charge for. The man, however, demanded 45., on the ground that, when engaged by the hour, drivers can claim 2s. for every fraction of time exceeding the hour. He (Mr. Acton) was rather startled at the interpretation of the act, but, being in ignorance on this point, thought it best to pay the demand, and apply to his worship for information upon the subject. Mr. Jardine was of opinion that the cabman was right. On looking at the schedule of the act it was clear that a sabman, hired by time, could claim an additional two shillings, if detained even for a minute only beyond the hour. The only doubt that could arise might have been suggested by the terms of the 4th section, which admits of a division of the time, and directs a payment of six pence for every stoppage of fifteen minutes ; but this section only referred to fares by distance, and was in tended for the protection of cabmen, who, being engaged by the mile, might be detained at intervals during the hiring. There could be no splitting of the hour under the new act wet e the hiring was by time. Mr. Acton—The fact is, then, I am bound to pay 45. under the new act, instead of Is. Bd. (or at the most 35.) under the old act. (A laugh.) Mr. Jardine—l am afraid that is so. Mr. Acton said his only object in making this appli cation was to put the public on their guard. H e i n common with so many others, had derived a great deal of useful information upon the subject from reading the police reports, but this was a point he has not yet seen mooted. He hoped the press would take notice of it for the benefit of the public. WORSHIP-STREET.—Carelinc Barris, a neatly dressed child, who was stated to be only eight years of age, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hammill, charged with having uttered•two counterfeit shillings. The child offered the base coin to a tradesman in pay ment for brandy. When the fraud was discovered the prosecutor hastened after the prisoner and found her at the corner of the street in conversation with a well ' dressed woman, who started off as soon as he made kis appearance. The prisoner also darted away with the rapidity of a deer in an opposite direction, but after a sharp chase extending over at le ast half a mile, he at length overtook her and gave her into custody. On being questioned by the magistrate, the prisoner, with an appearance of truthful simplicity, repeated her former statement that she had received both the shillings from her mother, who was the wife of a hair dresser in comfortable circumstances, residing in Caroline-street, Hackney-road. The constable who took the girl into custody was di rected by the magistrate to proceed with her to the above address to request the immediate attendance of her pa twr o e e n r t e s , obtaink b n u o t wa 1 e yi n r i e nt p rho o er m r t s e t d artei o eo n tn, his wa nhd r a e tt : h u va r et n r ithat had n ec o t beensl n u g c h tpheer s unableons pri soner. Mr. Hammill sa id it was perfectly obvious that the prisoner had fallen into the hands of designing persons, who had employed her as a tool for their criminal pur poses, notwithstanding his reluctance to commit a child of such tender years to prison, he felt it his duty to re mand her to afford an opportunity for the detection and apprehension of her more wily confederates. SOUTHWARK.—CharIes Thomson, a respectable looking young man, was charged with intermarrying with Constance Mary Nolin, his first wife being then and now alive. The second wife, a young woman with an infant in her arms, stated that in the early part of 1849 she became acquainted with the prisoner in the city of Norwich, and they kept up a continual correspondence until October, when they were married at the Superin tendent Registrar'-office in Norwich. She afterwards came up to London with the prisoner, and they lived very comfortable together until lately, when he took it into his head to beat her and treat her in a cruel man ner. She could not live with him any longer, and . she was induced to give him into custody on the prev ious day, being aware that his first wife was living.. When she married him he told her that he was married, and that he was not comfortable. our Mr. A'Beckett—Then you maffied him with y eyes open, well knowing that your marriage could not be legal ? Prosecutor—He told me his first wife was nothing to him, and he wanted me to elope with him. I thought it was all right, therefore I consented to be his wife, and we were married in a room at Norwich shortly afterwards. Prisoner—l acknowledged having a wife when I mar ried the prosecutrix. She and my first wife were in the room at the time with some friends, and a mutual agree ment took place Letween us, and we were married by the Superintendent Registrar. The prisoner was remanded. PRINTING PRESSES, PULPITS, AND WOMEN.—These are the three great levers that govern the world. With out them the bottom would fall out, and society would become chaos again. The press made people patriotic, the pulpit religious, but women answer all things. There would be no going to church if there were no girls there, neither would there be any going to war were the sol diers to meet with no applause but from the masculines. Without the sunshine shed 'by women, the rose-bud of affection would never grow, nor the flowers of eloquence germinate. In short, she is the steam-engine of life, the great motive power of love, valour, and civilisation. In proof of this truth all history speaks trumpet-tongued• —Aturicon Paper.

PORTSMOUTH, JULY 27. The French Ambassador, Count Walewski, with the countess, and Lady Jocelyn, the Hon. H. T. L. Corry, late Secretary to the Admiralty, and suite, arrived at the Royal Clarence-yard at ten minutes after two this afternoon, and were received at the gates by Captain Courtenay, the superintendent of Haslar ; Mr. Davies, master attendant of the yard ; Mr. Pinhorn, storekeeper ; and Flag Lieutenant Yonge. The distinguished visitors walked into Mr. Davies's house, where his excellency partook of a trifling lunch, quickly walked through the establishment, and was taken on board the Fire Queen, tender to Victory, Master Commander F. W. Paul, where his excellency was received by Rear-Admiral Superin tendent Fanshawe, C. 8., and the admiral of the fleet, Sir Thomas Byam Martin. The rear-admiral superin tendent having paid his respects to the ambassador took his leave. The Fire Queen then hoisted the French na tional flag at the fore, and proceeded out of harbour, receiving a salute of 21 guns from the Platform Battery, at 2.50. On reaching Spithead the ambassador went on board the Prince Regent, 90, Captain Hutton, the flag ship of Rear-Admiral Corry, when the ship instantly manned yards, and fired a salute of 19 guns. Having partaken of refreshment, his excellency, at 5.20, went on board the Duke of Wellington, screw, 131, Captain Henry Byam Martin, and was received in the same complimentary manner as on board the Prince Regent, with manned yards and a salute of 19 guns. His ex cellency returned to the Royal Clarence Yard at 5.50, to take coffee, at the house of Mr. Davies, the master attendant, and will leave for London by the six o'clock train of the South-Western Railway. The Prince of Leiningen, nephew to her Majesty, has been appointed to her Majesty's ship Britannia, flag-ship in the Mediterranean. His Highness took up his appointment, yesterday morning, on board her Ma jesty's ship Victory, and returned, per South 'Western Railway, to Clarence House, the residence of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. Mr. Galt, of Ports mouth, his Highness's outfitter, has the honour of sup plying the necessary equipment. The Vulcan steam troop-ship arrived at Spithead to day- from Halifax, and proceeded to Cowes to disembark the 23d Regiment, from North America. The Desperate, 8, steam-sloop, Captain Chambers, came out of the factory basin to-day after refit, and hauled alongside of the coal depot to complete for sea. The Sphynx steam-sloop has been placed in the fac tory basin to-day. The Owen Glendower, East Indiaman, sailed from Spithead this morning for Madras and Calcutta. PLYMOUTH, JULY 27. Upwards of 100 casks are ordered to be sent from the Royal William Victualling-yard to Pembroke, to assist in floating the Caesar. The crew of the St. Jean d'Acre screw steam block ship, 101, Captain the Hon. Henry Keppell, who are now victualled on board the Bellona hulk, will remove on Monday next with their stores to their own ship. The Sybille frigate, 40, Captain the Hon. C. G. Elliott, has been ordered to the East Indies, to relieve the Fox, 42, Commodore G. R. Lambert. .The Sybille goes out of harbour on the 11th of August.

FORTIFICATION OF HA.VRE.—The Constitutionnel says : —" We think it right to state the motives which led to the late visit of the Minister of War to Havre. By a law passed on July 14, 1852, the communes of Ingou vine and Grasville were annexed in great part to that of Havre. That enlargement rendered the old fortifica tions on the land side insufficient, and it was decided to build new forts. But there still remained the question of forts on the sea-side. It was this important question of the defence of Havre which Marshal de St. Arnaud went to examine on the spot. Thi s h e did w i th the ut most care, first making himself master of the plans to be acted on, and afterwards comparing them with the ground las he went over it. He p rom i se d , on terininat 'lig his i nspection, that in less than t wo years and a hal f the two forte should be entirely terminated." THE CAB STRIKE. (Prom the Times.) There are certain questions which the gravest people will sometimes put in their most childish moods, for the mere pleasure of imagining London for a moment something that it is not. What if the Thames were to leave its bed dry ? What if the waterworks or the gasworks were to strike? What if the morning papers should not make their appear ance, or the letter-carriers not go their rounds ? There have been changes quite as great, but they have been gradual. It does not take a very old man to remember when there was neither a gas-lamp, nor a cab, nor an omnibus, nor a steam-vessel, nor a plate-glass window, in a city of which these things are now essential ingredients. One of the above questions need no more be asked. Yesterday there was not a cab in London. The long stands in the great thoroughfares and near the railway stations had disappeared. The sharp, fussy, impertinent rattle of cab wheels were nowhere heard. You were not coaxed with "Keb ! Keb !" as you passed St. Clement Danes, nor bored with a cab walking by your side down Fleet-street. The vast space of Trafalgar-square was cabless. The thousands who were engaged to be off ly the early trains waited and waited for the return of the messengers they had dispatched for cabs, and only learnt the fact too late, or just in time to save their trains by run ning a mile or two, with a carpet-bag perhaps, at the rate of six miles an hour. We leave others to describe the destitute condition of men of business arriving by the trainsof lawyers and doctors keep ing an appointment or responding to a summons. Every form of substitute was resorted. to, not with out success. Porters, omnibuses, and hack carriages got a harvest. Meanwhile the cabmen rejoiced ; the gin-shops were crowded and jubilant ; every body who seemed to be walking as if he did not often walk was chaffed on his sufferings. Many, without perceiving the cause, thought the streets quiet, or dull, or more respectable than usual ; some noticed the crowded busses ; others the full pavements ; a few were forcibly reminded of their early days ; when the cause was known, the cabmen were ' discussed ; some liked their spirit, and thought them ill-used ; all saw that it would never do for London to be at the mercy of so capricious a class. We shall be told that it is only a bit of free trade, and that we are bound to approve it. But the cabman, once a cabman, is no more a free trader, but a public servant. His stand in the street is given him by the public, and is a privilege not accorded to the cabman of Paris, who pays largely for his private standing-ground, including a sufficiency of street frontage. All the regulations of the act form the terms of a contract which the cabman is bound to obey when he takes out his license—his power of temporary withdrawal being only a permission which he is not expected to abuse. Persons are only permitted to ply for fares in the metropolis on certain conditions, which may be partly restrictive, but are also partly pro tective. For example, nobody is permitted to take a common hackney carriage and invite the foot passengers to enter, up to the capacity of the vehicle, at Gd. a-head, from the Strand to a review in Hyde-park, or whichever way the current of population may be going. Thus both the omni bus and the cab are protected from unfair competition. The present is the case of a gentleman's household, who, in the height of the season, when halfla-dozen entertainments are in prospect, suddenly leave ; and, if no notice is. required from cabmen, it is because no such freak was anticipated. No class whose occupation is a necessity to the metropolis has a right to desist without due notice. Railway employes have struck before this, and inflicted immense inconvenience and loss, but the law requires them to give at least a fortnight's notice, and, if they struck vei y often, they would soon find that Parliament would reach them at one point or another. If cabmen laboured under a sense of injustice, why did they not adopt some rational way of pleading their cause ? They can talk when they please ; they are never at a loss for words with a fare ; they can always keep up conversation at the stand, and ex change a few remarks with a brother whip ; they can meet and discuss their grievances : then, why have they not remonstrated in some regular con stitutional fashion ? No.. Cabby is true to his old character. He treats the public as he does the " unprotected female." This is simply an attempt to bully the Legislature. It will not affect the final settlement of the cab question, because it must ever be the interest of the public that the cabman should be considered as well as his fare, and nobody would desire future cabmen to be punished for the vagaries of the existing generation. But it will certainly be found that the present step was superfluous as well as vexatious. As it is, the cab interest has already thrown away more than 2,0001. by its one day's strike. The grievance, as appears from Mr. Fitzroy's re ply to a question in the House, is not the reduction to Gd. a mile, but the absence of any remedy, under the new act, against a long fare to some country spot, whence no back fare can be expected. A cab man whose stables are at Knightsbridge may be required to take a fare to the Bank, and be imme diately summoned to take a second fare seven miles into Essex or Kent. Towards the close of the day the cabman, it is said, may find himself ten miles from his own stables, and obliged to retrace the distance without fare . In s tead o f hi s getting 10s. for his twenty miles he may get only five, and his horse be incapable of hard work the next day. Except for this contingency, the cab proprietors, the real malcontents, say they are quite content with sixpence a mile for short distances, backwards and forwards, in the busy part of the metropolis, wheil a single yard over a mile raises the charge by another sixpence. It is the long journey, right on end, with half-a-dozen whole miles and only one fraction, with no chance of a back fare, that does up horse and man, say th e p ro prietors. Then, why has not this been stated and urged reasonably and in good humour ? The only answer that can be given is, that the proprietors think themselves masters of the field. Whatever the merits of their quarrel, their tactics are bad. They invite inquiry into their trade, and, when the Public learn the fabulous sums which th e ca b men are o bli g ed to give for the daily use of their cab and horse, the proprietors will soon find th e com p e tition of their trade grow considerably sharp er . Already we hear of various associations starting up for providing a better description of cab and accepting of less rent from the drivers. So far as the public is concerned, that is the most effectual way to fight the battle. In the case, however, of a new act—and the cab pro prietors ask for it--we shall cer t a i n l y expec t t o fi n d some security provided against a sudden interrup tion of the traffic—either by a fine on every day a licensed cab does not ply f or hi re, or b y t h e require ment of a fortnight s notice before the withdrawal of a cab. Laws are made b y o ff ences, an d yester day's offence—which is to be repeated, so it is said, to-day and to-morrow — will result in a law which will certainly tie up the liberty either of the cab man or of his troublesome employer. (From the Mop yang Chronicl e .) And so our ancient . friend, the cab man , h as with drawn from public Ho reti res f rom th e ran k s —he resigns his commission. Y es t er d ay morn i ng London found, on awaking ,- that th e f a ithf u l j arv i e had thrown up the reins and descended from the box, leaving an ungrateful town to deplore a loss which it can ill afford to bear. It will be seen elsewhere that the much-persecuted " interest" have found a sort of sacred mount in High Hol born, whence they launch forth invectives on the heads of the devoted Lords and Commons ; and it will also be seen, from our Parliamentary report, that the Menenius Agrippa of the H ome -office, justly appreciating the gravity of the crisis, has frankly renewed the offer ho had already made to redress the one real grievance which is to be found amongst their idle and angry complaints. Mr. Fitz roy has undertaken, in conformity with the pro mise which, it seems, he gave to the cabowners on Monday last, to amend his act forthwith, as regards the vexed question of back fares, by allowing an increase of fare on all hirings beyond a certain radius, and also by limiting to five miles, instead of six, the distance which drivers shall be compellable to go. For ourselves—our obnoxious selves—we suppose we ought to tender the tribute of a contrite peccavi to the powers we have offended ; and at all events we are glad that Parliament shows itself so prompt in repairing an injury which it has un wittingly inflicted. How far this modicum of redress will satisfy the malecontent proprietors is a question on which we dare not pronounce. They are certainly an awfully ill-used class. It is true, sixpence is not bad pay for a six minutes' drive, and the loss of the addi tional twopence is more than compensated by cheap oats and the abolition of half-mile fares. It is true also that the sixpence per 15 minutes for stoppages, and the further sixpence for condescending to carry more ' than two persons, are not very grievous wrongs on the cab community ; nor can they com plain very bitterly of the regulation which entitles them, in cases of exoessive luggage, to twopence per parcel. It is true, further, that the Parlia mentary speed of four or six miles an hour, accord ing to circumstances, is not very violent for these high-pressure days, or very likely to damage what ever little wind the cab horse may happen to pos sess. Nevertheless, the cabman —or, rather, the cabmaster, who is die real complainant in this mat ter—has been cruelly treated. Parliament has dried up the chief source of his gains. His occu pation is gone, or, at least, is not worth following ; and he may therefore justly ask himself what he should do in London. The cabman, in truth, made more by the suavity of his manner and the persuasiveness of his elo quence than lie could ever hope to ears by the mere plying of his legitimate trade. He relied as much on his tongue as on his horse for his daily bread ; and if a deaf ear was turned to his argu ment, an appeal to the God of battles quickly brought conviction to the mind of the reluctant " fare." This line of business, of course, succeeded better with some people than with others—with foreigners, for instance, and the fair sex, rather than with your City merchants and sharp lawyers. Hence the hospitality and gallantry which distin guished cabmen over all othr men. They looked to long beards and long petticoats to compensate them for the losses which they suffered from the denizens of the Exchange and the Tem ple. In a word, the cab-drivers and cab-owners [ had two distinct trades—the humble industry of p l ace top and the carrying persons from somewhat more irregular, but much more profitable one of obtaining double and treble the amount le gally due for their services, by all the various arti fices which extortion could call to her aid. To terrify women, to insult strangers, and to cringe to those who could not be terrified and would not be insulted, was, until the 11th inst., the well-known business of the London cabman ; and it is hard that the recent Act, in affording facility and in susing rapidity for the punishment of incivility and overcharge, should have dealt a sudden deathblow to such a regular, extensive, and successful pursuit. What, indeed—the poor fellow may now well ask —can he do in London, since he can no longer out rage his customers with impunity ? How is he to live, if a magistrate punishes a jesting reflection on the traveller's generosity, or an attitude of playful pugnacity, with a couple of months' imprisonment and hard labour ? How shall the poor man earn an honest penny, if a "beak," or a " Peeler," is to interfere at every moment between him and his prey ? Such is the real grievance which has led to the present strike. Drivers can no longer cheat and insult their customers with impunity, and, conse quently, they can no longer pay the owners rents calculated with reference to irregular and illegiti mate sources of profit. The aggrieved proprietors resent their diminished returns by stopping work altogether ; and if the worthies think that they can " better themselves" by this course, they are welcome to adopt it. To us it seems that they are engaged in the agreeable and lucrative process of cutting off their noses to spite their faces. The London public have made up their minds that they will no longer submit to the alternative of plunder or insult, which used to be presented to every per son who stepped out of a cab. As well might the " fast" young men of the present day hope to agitate with success for the restoration of the ancient watchmen, in order that the knockers, bells, and door-knobs of our citizens might again be at their mercy, as the hackney fraternity expect that the law against insolence and rapacity will be reduced to a dead letter by the re-adoption of the old dila tory and troublesome mode of seeking redress. Let them strike then, if they will, but let them also hear a quiet hint or two which we would give them. First, we beg to assure them that there is a good deal of capital in England, and that a lucrative trade is not likely to be long left de serted. " There are as good fish in the sea as ever were caught," and there will soon be better cabs in London, and more respectable drivers, than ever rolled over its pavement. If the existing brother hood cannot reconcile themselves to the trade of cab-driving now that the law has perforce made it an honest one, the public gains by their abandoning it. They will make way for better men ; and the public carriages of the metropolis will no longer be a disgrace and a reproach to the country. In the next place, we are obliged to the cab owners for this timely strike, since it calls attention to a defect in the existing Hackneyc-afriage Law which it would be wise to supply. The right of these people to suspend their business is undoubted —for it is the inalienable and prescriptive right of every true Briton to quarrel with his bread and butter ; but care should be taken that timely notice is given, on future occasions, of their inten tion to withdraw from the public service. The passenger traffic of two millions of men must not be again exposed to the risk of a total stoppage, upon every capricious impulse of a few ill-condi tioned ruffians or ill-advised fools. For once in a way, we may submit to the joke of trudging to a dinner party through the mud, or of wheeling our trunks and children to railway stations in donkey carts and wheelbarrows. But novelty is the only point in this piece of practical wit ; and to prevent its recurrence, it might be well to grant no cab licences without a stipulation, under a heavy penalty, against a strike, unless after at least two or three months' notice. Perhaps the Commis missioners of Police, also, will consider whether the men who have annoyed their fellow-citizens by this mischievous prank are fit persons to be again entrusted with the privilege of carrying on this im portant public trade. Mr. Fitzroy's express pro mise on Monday last to redress the only real griev ance inflicted on them by the new Act, renders their present silly and discreditable proceeding ut terly inexcusable ; and nothing can entitle them to hope for condonation except a prompt and com plete repentance. Let us add that, if they do make their appearance again in the streets, we hope it will be found that they have "improved the occa sion " of their temporary retirement from business by fattening up their lean and skeleton steeds and cleansing and repairing their foul and shaky vehicles. THE SPIRAL PROPELLER.—A. few days ago, the new screw, called the spiral propeller, invented by Mr. Max well Scott, of Tranmere Foundry, was tried in the screw steamer Weaver, which had been lent by the trustees of the Duke of Bridgewater for the purpose. She was tried against the Countess of Ellesmere, on Saturday week, during the two trips between Liverpool and Run corn, and the difference was only twelve minutes in fa vour of the Countess. The saving of fuel by the spiral was shown to be upwards of sixteen per cent. The spiral propeller is formed on the principle of obtaining as much propelling surface on the outer edge of the blade as possible, at the same time allowing the greatest liberty near the centre, so as to offer the least resistance in the passage of the screw through the water. The propeller has two blades, something resembling the blades of the old-fashioned screw, with a piece cut out of each, thus giving them the shape of an elbow, being diametrically opposed to Griffith's, where the outer edge has the least surface.—Manchester Examiner. HOLYROOD PALACE.—We understand that Sir W. Molesworth, her Majesty's Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests, has at length agreed to an arrange ment of a character very favourable for the public, with reference to the opening up of Holyrood Palace. The Government will now take the management of it more immediately into its own hands, and instead of the pre sent most unsatisfactory mode of handing parties about from one exhibitor to another, and of leaving the amount of the gratuities to be given to the discretion of the visitors, a small fixed fee—sixpence, we believe — will be substituted ; this will be paid to one receiver, and no other gratuity or payment will be re quisite. One most important part of the arrange ment, moreover, is that the Palace will be open every Saturday without any charge whatever. Improvements will also be made on the grounds ; and, altogether, the alterations on the present system, which, we ought to add, have been mainly obtained b y the exertions of our Lord Provost when in London, will be hailed as a great boon by the inhabitants of Edinburgh, as well as by strangers visiting the city.—Scotsman. L ANCASHI RE REGISTRATION. The Freetraders of Lancashire have this year been exceedingly active i n their revision of the registers of electors, under the man at7ement of Messrs. James Moorhouse and Son, an d have succeeded in making not less than 2,000 new claims for the southern division of the county, and 1,000 f or the northern division. In addition to this, a careful examination has been made of the descriptions of the q ualifications of the freeholders alread y on the register, with a view to the corr ection of e rrors, so as to defeat any objections which 'nay p be made by th e other party on the ground of misdescription. The n um b er of re-claims sent in by the Liberals on this account will be some where about 5,000. A PARADISE OF A PRINTING OFFICE.—The Boston Olive Brunch, on which females are employed as com positors, says—" Our rooms a re we ll carpeted, and the girls do not come till nine or ten o'clock in the morn ing, retiring in good season, seldom making even seven or eight hours a day. Smart compositors can in that time earn from six dollars to eight dollars a week. We have also one female clerk out of the three we employ. Added to this, one desk has been occupied by a female editor as our assistant at a salary of 900 dollars. She has spent seven hours a day in the office for five days in the week.
