Ira- Office, Pall-mall, 23d April, 1857, EXPULSION OP THE POOR-LAW IN SPE ToR FROM THE 111..RYLEBONE BOARD OF GUARDIANS. Yesterday, in consequence of it having been an nounced by Mr. Faroell, poor-law inspector, that it was his intention to attend and take his seat at the Maryle bone Board of Guardians, there was not only a full at tendance of members, but the space appropriated to ratepayers behind the bar was completely filled. Mr. BEEVOIt occupied the chair, and shortly after 12 o'clock Mr. Farneil, the poor-law inspector, entered the room, on which several guardians rose and called atten ti'n to the circumstance that a stranger was present. Mr. Farne:l was then asked who he was, and having ex p!ained, he was asked if he was a ratepayer, to which he ref lied in tA , e negative. Mr. SALMON then moved that all ratepayers be re quysted to retire behind the bar, and those who were not ratopaver< and strangers be required to withdraw. Mr. VALENTINE KNIGHT, amidst much dissent, main tained that ?4r. Farm-11 was noi a stranger, and that, as the ifficer of the Poor-law Board, he had as much right to take his seat there as any of them. He called on the clerk to read the clause of the act of parliament which gave him that right. (Loud cries of " No, no.") After cansiderable discussion, The CHAIRMAN read the 20th section of the 10 and 1 Viet., cap 109, which gave poor-kw inspectors the power of attendirg every board of guardians or other local meeting held for the relief of the poor, and to take part in the proceedings, but not to vote. Mr. FARNELL did not consider himself a stranger, and was about to address the board, but several members protested azaiiist his being hea r d, an d ca ll e d f or a vote . The motion was put and carried on a division by 21 to 4. Sir .TAMES HAMILTON wished to move that Mr. Far nell withdraw his attendance till that day fortnight, and flat in the meantime the board take the vinion of the most eminent counsel as to his right to be there. This was met with the most determined opposition and calls noon the chairman to enforce the resolution alrea•ly caried. The CHAIRMAN bad no doubt if some gentleman would move that Mr. Farnell be requested to withdraw, he would do so. (Hear.) Any future step of the board could then be arranged. Sir JAMES - HAMILTON said, as the readiest way of carrying out what he bad previously proposed, he would move "that the gentleman attending as the representa tive of the Poor-law Beard be requested to withdraw." (Hear, hear.) The HOD. and Rev. J. T. PELHAM seconded this re• nlnti n, and it was carried with one dissentient (Mr. M:rrison). Mr. FARNELL said he should of course comply with the resolution, but the question would now have to be tested betw.en the Guardians and the Poor-law Board in a ccurt of law. He then retired. A. resolution was read from the Political and Parochial Asscciati,in of the b rough of Marylebone, denouncing the interference, and offering their co-operation in resist anc-. It was ordered to be entered on the minutes. The board, after other business, separated. SPORTING NOTES. THE TWO THOUSAND. F The great coming event at Epsom wilt cast its Filia -1 claws somewhat plainly before at Newmarket next week, when much that is looming dimly in the future will be rendered distinct and clear. The racing at Newmarket Will be most important, for it will bring out the princi , pal Derby horses, whose merits or demerits will be soon a , certained and determined. At York on Tuesday and Wednesday last the ranks of the favourites were won derfully thinned. The running of Skirmisher almost turned the current of speculation, and showed that the tide of fortune sets in steadily towards Lord Zetland. At present my fancy for the Two Thousand points towards the leading favourites—Vedette and Kent. I do not profess to understand the suspicious movements with reference to Loyola and Sydney. Anton must have greatly improved on his last year's form if he be the "flyer" that the partisans of the Danebury stable uphold him to be. In accordance with my usual custom I shall despatch my Notes on the Two Thousand from Newmarket in time for publication in Monday's Sun. I will, however, now briefly refer to the events set for decision on the opening day, as they will be run off bel.re I again address the reader. The eta'alisbrnent of the Spring Oatlands will be an additional inducement to turfites to assist at the inaugu ration of the meeting. The race is likely to bring out a large field, and aff.rd some brisk "post betting." Kestrel, Bubble, and Admiral Lyons seem to me the most attractive names, and I do not fancy the Admiral will find an opponent formidable enough to make him . strike his colours. The Match and the Sweepstakes I shall pass over without comment. More scandal iq likely to be brought on the turf, for glinfon, the jockey, has commenced an action against Bell's Life for libel. "Bell" will plead a justification, awl the public may, after all, be let into the mysteries of pulling and roping. I really hope Quinton may clear his character, for be is a clever jockey, and so far as I am able to judge, he always appeared to me a civil and well-conducted young man. A FRESH MAN. April 26. BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-FRIDAY. Owing to many of the leading members of the rooms being at Melton, the betting here is of less importance than it otherwise would be. For the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes the odds, at the rate of 100 to 30, was taken freely about Vedetce. Kent was i❑ demand at 4to 1. 6 to 1 was offered against Loyola, and 7 to 1 was taken and offered against Anton. For the Derby, Skir misher was backed at a shade over 14 to 1 to win up wards of 1,000/. For the Chester Cup Commotion was supported at 20 to 1 rather freely, and Turbit had friends at 40 to 1.

AFR EN CH OPINION OF THE RUSSIAN RAILWAYS; The Siecle has a long article upon the subject, summing up in this way : "The whole matter is stamped with Russian despo- 4 tiem : thus, of the 18 members of the Council of Admi nistration, 10 are Russians, and are attached more or less j. to the suite of the Emperor ; 2 are natives of Holland, 5 are Frenchmen, and England is only represented by 1 member. In every d e lib erat i on t h e R uss i an opinion will I 2: always p reva il, an d the foreign admiuistrators will more 21 over rarely be present at the sittings of the council ;it 4 may be affirmed, without fear of falling into error, that their names only figure as a matter of form; The admi li - nistration of these railways will be entrusted in the most • absolute manner to Russian functionaries. Now, with out wishing to recall all the accusations of corruption and ° venality long since brought against all Russian officiak, we will cay that a man must be a decided optimist to 2 find in this orgauisatinu all the guarantees that are gene rally expected in great enterprises. Moreover, does the financial and industrial position of France favour the proj-ct ? Have we completed our branch lines. or even 5( 1 all our principal li nes ? D ' es not Algeria reit for theit commencement of ber net wor k? Sh a ll we not b e called 5: upon shortly to estal li.h the transatlantie line of steamers, V no long adjourned? Does not the actual rate of chscsunt still weigh heavily on trade, and wool lit be wise, or even 4 patriotic, to incur the risk of creating another monetary f , crisis by burying hundreds of millions in the steppes of Russia ? It is said that only a hundred millions will be ; asked from the Bourse of Paris; but is it not to be fea,reit that the shares, once created, will be sent to our market for negotiation and exchanged against our capital ? We distrust great enterprises that commence in a petty nian lc - ner ; they are like those black spots, almost impercep tible, that are observed at sea in tropical regions, and which infallibly extend into the most, terrible hurricanes. We repeat that these Russian lines are simply strategi cal, that the most important commercial points are ut 61 - terly neglected ; that the civil and commercial state of the nation does not yet authorise the e4ablishment of . railways, for nations do not at once attain the lev,l of it modern ,progress, and Russia has much to effect be- 3. fore her population can travel, me nufacture, exchange, or even consume with freedom. Not only the line obtain little traffic, but they run the risk of being very badly directed, and we do not see what remedy would exist for shareholders in Western Europe. Finally, our monetary position is not sufficiently well established, our wants are too considerate to periiiit us to lend to onr neighbours, without danger, a portion of the wealth without which we can create nothing at home." FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—A man was killed on Saturday on the line of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, at Woodside; mar Dudley, a train passing over him. The deceased was crossirg the line at a point where a public road crosses it on s level, when a train came along the lino from Dudley , and at the sam e moment another train proceeding in a contrary direction approached. The deceased saw Only one of these trai ns , an d was l oo ki ng at i t w ith his back turned towards the other when ho was observed by the driver of the train, who blew his whistle. The man, a miner, named Millington, did not hear the alarm, and was consequently knocked down and cut to pieces. At the inquest, s i nce h e ld , t h e j ury re t u rned as their ver dict—" Tbatthe deceased came by his death accidental y ; at the same time they must reprobate in the strongest terms the conduct of the directors of the Oxford, Wor cester, and Wolverhampton Reway Company in not properly protecting the public. The Jury also expressed a hope that the company would compensate the widow, and we understand they have forwarded a sum o f 151. to the widow. [PRIOR 4D. STAMPED 5 RAILWAY INT;ZI,IGENCZ EAST INDIAN. The twenty-first report of the directors, to be submitted to the annual general meeting on Tues day next, cintains the following passage. : " The East India Company having agreed to raise the rate of guaranteed interest from 4i to 5 per cent.. on a uyther sum of 1;500,0001 of the capital, the board have rieen enabled to offer an allotment of new shares to the pro orietore, in the proportion of one share fer every 100/. con olid.r ea s'ock, or one share for every five shares of their -vsting investments.

The line con iruetA by the company's engineers through the South eeerhhooin district, about 45 miles, from the junction [leer Burd wan "to the river More, was at the last date in very forward state.] Mr. Evans, acting chief engineer in the tipper Jrovincee during the temporary absence of Mr. Purser, ,aving recently inspected the works on the line roan. the river Kurumnassa to • Delhi, furnishes. he board with the particulars of the progress ~ade to the 13th Feb. The works from the Kurum eassa to IVlogulserai, near Benares, about 50 miles, re proceeding with the expedition necessary, to insure heir being ready by the time the permanent way mate jai. can tie delivered to the contractors. From Beneres Allahahad, ab 'tit 95 miles, the contractors have not advanced the works so steadily as was expected. From Allahabal Cawnpore, 126 miles, the woos genera ly ire progressing satisfacterily, and the rails are leid-for A distance of 28 miles. The Cawnpore district line, 26 miles, has been taken out of 'the contractor's heeds, and together with the Etawab, Agra, and Delhi district liner, .a now being carried on by the company's engineers. the directors say, with reference to the works of the doe from Allahabal to Delhi, in their present state, here seems to be nn reason why, if it be found practic able to get the permanent way materials up, the whole distance should be opened by the end of 1858—and the eoard will give directions that every exertion be used to accomplish this object. During the year ending the 31st of December last 65,000 tons of there materials were shipped at favourable rates of freight, notwith standing the fact that, from one cause or other, there was a general scarcity of shipping. The steadily increasing traffic on the line from Calcutta to Ranegunge, as sxhi uited by the fulbwing facts, cannot fail to be highly gra tifying to the proprietors. The number of passengers carried between the Ist July and 31st December, 1856, was 465,121, showing an increase in this branch of the traffic over the half-year ending June, 1856, of 32,800 passengers, or as compared with the corresponding half year in 1855 of 107,486 passengers. The tonnage in goods and minerals, exclusive of parcels, carriages, and live stock, from Ist July, 1856, to 31st December, 1856, was 44,695 tons, giving an increase of 11,685 tons over the half-year ending 30th June, 1856, or 24,675 tons over the corresponding half-year of 1855. The traffic receipts for the year ending 31t Dec. ' 1856, amounted to 95,1831. 16s. 43., 'agai ns t 58,5871. 16s. 10d. for the year ending December, 1855 ; and in March last they had reached 3,5001. per week. The payments made to the East India Company, being the balances of receipts over expenditure on account of revenue, and in dimi nution of their advances for interest, sill further illustra'e the satisfactory progress of the working of the opened line. They have been as follows : For the half y year ending June 30, 1855, 10,6311.

The board are mush disappointed at not being able to publish the revenue accounts to the 31st December. They are informed that the accounts will arrive by the text mail, and, in that ease, may be in the bands of the board in time to be communicated to the shareholderg at the meeting. If not, they will be open to their inspection at anitinie afteiwards. board have givi-n such directions as they trust will pre. vent a recarrenca of any delay in transmitting the ac• counts neceFsary to submit to the shareholders. working expenses for the half-year ending June 30, 1856, have been brought down to 40.56 ptr cent, of the re• - ceipts ; and the manner in which the locomotive and traffic departments have been conducted reflects the highest credit on the officers of those establishments. The details of the proposed contract with the East India I Company for the Mirzapore and Jubbulpure hue are not yet completed. At the suggestion of the Government of India the company's engineers are taking borings of the River Stitlej, with a view to determine the most eligible point for .crossing that river; this will be the most irn purtant work on the line from Delhi to Lahore. As an agent to succeed Sir M. Stephenson at Calcutta, the board have appointed Mr. Edward Palmer, late of the Great Western and Great Northern Rail way Companies, who leaves this country for India by the mail of the 4th May. The agency in the meantime hes been conducted by Messr s . Stokes and Boyle ; the former the locomotive superintendent in Bengal ; the latter the accountant of the company in India. The consolidation of the shares into stock under the resolution of the general meeting of 30th Oct last was carried out under the immediate and personal direction of the board, and the examination into the share and transfer department has only tended to as sure the board of the accuracy with which the business has been conducted. The following directors retire :—Mr. James Beaumont, Mr. J, D. De Vitre, Mr. Alexander Nairne, and offer themselves for re-election. Mr. C. Far- quharson, auditor, retires, and offers himself for re•elec Lion. Mr. F. W. Simms, who has been acting as auditor fur the hat ten months, offers himself for election.

We can e:s; certainly natsit g v hani:, that we had completely gone astray upon the mat ter. Four or five nionths r back we had not the in telligence to discern that this was a mere question of £. s. d. ; that the Prussian Sovereign was not in reality solicitous about-the honour of his double eagle and his ancestral blazsnry, but that his real object was to drive a sharp bargain, in the most pecuniary sense which can be attached to that phrase, with the Swiss Confederation. How often do similar cues occur in real life ! We suppose that our friend Captain O'RatTerty is standing upon the point of honour, when in reality the divine wrath of that gallant individual is only to be assuaged by balm of a far more prosaic description than any which is usually applied to sentimental sores ! The Conferences which have been recently, held at Paris on the Swiss affair have been .for all the world like a mask auction, in which the Envoy of the K;ng of Prussia acted the part of auctioneer. " What shall we say for Neuchatel ? Beautiful Swiss Canton, near the lake of that name ; pictur esque castle ; healthy situation ; swarming vrith tourists in the summer season. Shall we say 100,0001. No bid ? Gentlemen, consider the clocks. Let me say 70,000/.-50,000/. - The feel ings of the vendor and the honour of the House of Brandenburg ought not to be lost sight of alte ge . ther. I am not only disposing of a floufishing Can ton, but of the credit of a most respectable Moiler; chy. Say 45,0001. Why, gentlemen, really this is a mere trifle-40,0001. No bid ? Lower than that figure I cannot go ; at that price I am instructed to buy the lot in. The chivalrous feelings of the vender will not allow him to accept a lower price." This is really .no exaggeration of the course of the negotiations which have 'been going on in Paris for the last few Ateeks. Dr. Kern bas been sent back to Switzerland with an ultima tum for 40,000/. Below that point the Royal Chap man positively-refuses to deal. Some trilling ad ditions are attached, such as that the King of Prussia is to retain the name of "Prince of Neu chatel"—he might as well bargain for the title of "Prince of Ahyssinia"--and a guarantee for the proper administration of the chart - tibia institutions of .Neuchatsl. This last condition is a matter of course—the former one too ridiculous to deserve even passing discussion. The real point is as to ll ' the 40,000/. It was for this that at the conclusion of she last; and at the beginning of the present year, all Europe was set in commotion, and the world, scarcely recovered from the throes of the Russian war, wasstartled with the announcement of another and, it might be, a more terrible struggle. The dead were removed, the sand was scattered on the arena, thelrumpets sounded a fresh alarm, and a fresh pair of gladiators stepped into the arena. Prussia and Switzerland had taken no share in the battle of the nations, but now. they were to exhibit their untried prowess on a field apart. The greatest apprehensions, however, were entertained that this contest could not go on far without attracting into its area other champions and more powerful in terests—so strong are the sympathies of policy and war. Alas ! we were all mistaken—Sovereigns, Cabinets, statesmen, writers, and politicians-- here was no question of a European war, but of 40,0001. We are sometimes inclined to think that; after all, the King of Vrussia is one of the cleverest men in . Europe. From his retirement at Potsdam he contemplates with a genial smile the jar of human passions and the play of human interests. The European drama is to him not a performance in which he himself is called upon to take a share, but an exciting exhibition, of which he is to be a mere spectator, with the privilege of turning an honest penny as he best can. When the worlyl, is in King Cambyses' vein he will applaud the ex pression of chivalrous emotion ; he will lead a stately measure round his Ritter-Saal with an enormous wax candle in his hand, and then go, not to war, but to bed. He will rev i ew hi s troops, and almost weep over them, and then dismiss them to their barracks. He will listen with the most profound emotion to choral strains of so extremely exciting a character that they. would almost inspire • an oyster with the emotions of a dragoon; but nothing comes of it. When all is said and dole, you will find the Prussian Bayard at a later perl.od of the evening disputing with his own particular set over some theological or metaphysical inanity ; or, as we now find, working out in his head tome little sum in which his own private interests are more immediately concerned. This was just the result, we will not say that it was altogether the rio tive of the Prussian policy throughout the Russian war. While England and France were pouring out the blood of their bravest children and expend mg the resources of their treasuries—while Aus ria had assumed an attitude which has drawn upon her the permanent hostility of her power ful neighbour, and even the little kingdom of Eear dime sent forth a gallant band to do battle in the cause of European freedom—it would be hard to say what the Prussians were about, save making their profits, out of the general calami ties of mankind. While other nations were fighting and suffering they were buying and selling ; while French and English, and Sardinians and Turks, on the one side, and Russians on the other, were sole diers, the Prussians were but carriers and ramps men. They refused to take any share in the com mon exertions and common glory. These things passed away, and a time of profound peace silo. ceeded. It has just been broben by a fixed resolu tion on the part of tie Prussian Sovereign to put the armed forces of the monarchy in motion to ob tain payment of 40,0001. for the goodwill and fix tures of the canton of Neuchatel. It would be idle to recur to the old protestations about the dignity of the Prussian Crown, and the implied promises that, if i hnce the point of honour were saved by the unconditional release of the prisoners, ! the King o f Prussia would pass lightly o v er a ll other conside rations. The prisoners were released, and we see the result. The question, after all, was merely one of thalers and ready money. There is no plaiater for outraged honour like a bank-note. The condition, as far as the Swiss are concerned, is undoubtedly a hard one ; still, we trust that, as a shrewd and discreet people, they will have the sense to smile at the extortion, and to submit to it, for the sake of peace. There is scarcely a pri vate individual, in this country at least, who is not obliged twice or thrice in his passage through life to submit to some extravagant charge, or to pay some bill twice over, rather than incur th e diScom fort and perils of litigation. A claim of this de sciptiou may, no douot, be occasionally resisted with success, but the cost of the successful resist ance will far outweigh the evils of resignation. A sum of 40,0001. is, after all, no great amount of black-mail when the charge is distributed over a numerous and thriving population. We doubt not that the charge incurred since this outbreak began, or even the cost of calling the forces of the Con federation together in the course of the last few months, has far exceeded the price named by the Prussian agent for the stock, fixtures, and good will of the Canton of Neuchatel on the past of his principal. Better pay the sum once for all, and have done with a litigious, troublesome claimant, from whom nothing is to be expected but annoyance and strife. TEC transaction is one which will reflect no great glory on the Prussian Crown in the pages of history. Had the Prussian King chosen to act in his bapacity of a privat e per son, and dispose of a property in a foreign country. to which he might have a title more or less satis factory, there would not have been a word to say. T he King of Prussia has as good a right as Paul or Peter to receive the value of any farm: or farming stock he may be inclined to sell. In the pre sent case, however, he has called into action,the forces of the Prussian Monarchy in a caste with which the PrUssian people were not at all concerned. He Las called upon the Cabinets of Europe to arbi trate upon his private rights. The best thing under the circumstances is to pay him the 40,0001. which he does not disdain to claim, and to leave the Royal Trapbois of Potsdam to the judgment of Europe.— Times. PULPIT PBONUNCIATION.—Why is it that so many of our curates in the reading desks of our various churches so far depart from good pronunciation as to continually o-press us with the o-pression of the o-pressor, and alnost upon every o-casion that may o-cur, seem to be po-sessei with a spirit of incorrectness, that certainly produces an eject, but unquestionably a very bad one f Several other words could be mentioned as being often made subject to this mutilation, but these are perhaps the most frequently presented to the attention of the hearers. Now, most assuredly, if we are to continually look up to the senate, the pulpit, and the bar," as our standard of right and wrong in the matteer of pronuncia tion, it behoves those who take up a position in either of these guiding influences to keep that standard pure, and not, at least, to misguide the many who have to follow the lead of the few. Let aught of' wron g i n th e system,of however long tenure, give place to the pro gression of intellect and knowledge, but let no partial btreteh of over-refinement lead them into what must be considered as at once an a ff ec t a tion and an error ; for the evil will not be co n fi n ed to them selves, but will gradually, but surely, pass into common use, and thus, not only the standard of our own day beceme vitiated, but an unnecessary difficulty created for the next generation to overcome. The evil, such as it is, is decidedly a growing one ; and therefore it is essential that attention should be directed to it without delay, for, to all who love the fulness and free. dow of our beautiful and expressive language, it cannot be a matter of indifference that its force and vigour ehoukt be thus idly frittered away.—Atitenceunt.
