The friendsand political connections of this well-know n Parliamentary and electioneering solicitor will regret to learn that, his death occurred, after an illness of four days, at his house in Cleveland-row,. on Saturday even ing. Only a fortnight since he was engaged some days in the country on Ibis circuit duty as Treasurer of the Kent County Courts ; and so lately as Monday last he was transacting business apparently in his usual health at his offices in Parliament-street, Westminster. On that evening he went home tb his private residence complain ing of a sudden inflammatory attack in his chest. His respiratory organs were severely and spasmodically affected, and his danger was aggravated by a chronic derangement of the heart, of long standing. On Friday his medical attendant, Dr. Neil, called into consultation Sir H. Holland, more alarming symptoms and delirium intervening. He continued gradually sinking during the last '24 . hours of his lir; and expired without a struggle on the following evening at G o'clock. Mr. Coppock was born on the 2d of Sept., 1798, and was a native of Stockport, in Cheshire. He was the eldest son of a respectable mercer in that borough, and, after a good middle-class education, he served his ap prenticeship in his father's business. In 1820 be was placed as a clerk in the establishment of a large whole sale haberdasher in ,London. He early commenced busi ness on his own account, employing a small capital in a silk firm in the city. In that connection, partly in consequence of the commercial disasters which followed on the French Revolution of 1830, he was unsuccessful. He bad married in 1829, but upon bis failure as a mercer he boldly abandoned trade, and resolved to adopt the profession of the law ; and in 1832 he,articled himself to a respectable solicitor in Furnival's-inn. During his five years' clerkship he earned his livelihood, and indus triously pursued his new avocation. Although not admitted on the roll of attorneys till the year 1836, he acted as an earnest voluntary partisan in the, first Finsbury election contest following the Reform Act of 1832. At that period he first published the " Ziemer? Manual." , titer the second gene-1 ral election under the reformed representative system, the Liberal leaders in London, profiting by the late Sir Robert Peel's counsel to " Register I Register I" founded a counter Registration Society, with branches throughout England and Wales. Mr. Coppock was by the late Mr. Sutton Sharpe recommended as the most fitting secretary to the new association, and especially as the author of the Electors' Manual. Continuing his articles of clerkship he received, we believe, a salary of 3001. a-year as such secretary, with a residence in the society's rooms in Cleveland-row. .This new occupation naturally brought him into communication with all the principal Liberal agents and solicitors of the provincial counties and boroughs, personally or by cerrespondence. Three or four years afterwards, on the close of the society's operations, he became lessee of its house in Cleveland-row, where he first established himself as a solicitor and Parliamentary agent. His original wide spread connection with the constituencies of the Untied Kingd sin immediately constituted Mr. Coppock's office the centre of many election arrangements and contests, and led to his professional employment in the conduct of contested returns in the House of Commons. His zeal and daring in fighting political opponents with their own weapons are too well remembered to need detail. Fortu nately corrupt practices and illegal acts at elections have been of late years largely diminished, partly by legisla tion and punishment, and partly by the improved moral conduct of she borough constituencies, though " Othello's occupation" may not yet have entirely vanished. None can question the fidelity of Mr. Coppock's service to his political clients, and his word was invariably relied upon by opponents in all arrangements and "compromises." We desire in this brief obituary notice not to reopen past electioneering feuds and public inquiri es i n P ar li ament AdministrationsconnectedwithManr.dCfoorpmpoecr Whig Coppock and Radical s personal services to past candi dates for seats in our Legislature. Such bygone transactions are • rather matters for future history than for present renewed commentary, and the public press of the day has sufficiently criticised the two great political parties and their individual election doings. It is enough to state that Mr. Coppock entered the electioneering arena as an avowed partisan of the Libe ral party. His best friends could not approve all his acts, but he had a universal credit for ability an d integ rity in his representation of partisans. His self-reliance and indomitable courage constantly involved him in diffi culties, and he often taxed too severely his physical and mental powers. Indeed, his professional over-exertion is the numerous election committees of the last session probably shortened his life. He acted as manager of sometimes four committees sitting on the same day ; sometimes singly concerned for sitting members and pe titioners, or acting as agent for country parties. It was also in the spring and summer of this year that, unfortu nately involved as a shareholder and leading director in the Surrey Gardens, he had the additional anxiety on his mind of that unfortunate speculation, and with an abridged leisure for attention to the interests of himselt and co-proprietors. Receiving last August his appoint ment as County Courts' Treasurer, and being therefore in a public official capacity, he in moat acutely felt the p a blic reflections he incurred common with his brother directors, and the more so because, as he ex pressed-himself in a letter in our columns, he adniitted only his lack of judgment, denyiag all imputation on his character as an honest man. Certainly he was the largest creditor and loser by th e f a il ure o f the company. Thus oppressedin body and mind nature gave way under severe pressure. An hydraulic machine cannotbe worked t beyond m i t o s r y p r o o f p t e h r i s p o p w e c e u r l . a r Perhaps pu b lio man the best(and we e tribute do to not record . his unexpected d ea th as that o f a p r ivate indi vidual) is the fact that in privat e f or t un e he made no gain by his singular and bu s y political career. He had arranged to retire from bu s i ness. H i s es t a t e w ill pro bably realise a small independence, and one really earned by his more natural busin ess as solicitor. His death will be regrett l d by many personal friends, and his loss to the ‘ 4 party may never b e f u ll y supp li e d. He was a man sni generic, and politics was his calling and his pleasure. Probably our future electoral system will never create need of a second James Coppock.—Times. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. We regret to announce the death of Mr. James Cop pock, of Cleveland-row, St. James's. Mr. Coppock was a week ago in the apparent e n j oymen t o f his usual strong and vigorous health. Oa T ues d ay he re t urn ed home to his residence slightly indi sposed. Thi s i n disposition rapidly increased, and, baffling all the skill of Sir Her ry Holland and his ordinary medical attendant, carried Mr. Coppock off on Saturday evening, in the 59th year of his age. Death clears all scores. Our nominal relation to Mr: Coppock, while in life, was that of antagonism to his in speaking of the dead a llowance must be mad e f or the iefluence of circum stances. He was a remarkable man . Self-taught and e l e ctioneering devices. T 1 reliant, energetic, intelligent and fearless, he cary d out for himself his own position in life. To his political friends and party he w as a must devoted and faithful adherent and agent ; he was free from the slightest taint of vindictiveness or ill-will to his opponents ; perfectly reliable in all his professional engagements and under takings ; frank, hearty, and kind in his habits ; and, in spite of an off-hand and unrefined manner, in all personal were of an advanced kind, an d no man mo re ear n e s tly m de a s t i t r e e r d s removal(theceedinglY sensitive. Hi s political opinions of all detects, as well as the exten sion of our electoral system, the bad features of which he understood BO thoroughly. Mr. Coppock had achieved a considerable position and practice in his profession of solicitor, when his services were sought for the liberal party, and it was probably at no little sacrifice of fortune, as well as comfort, that he devoted himself more particularly to electioneering business ; for in its conduct no one, however wealthy, had ever to complain of his charges, and many a candi date and member not blessed with riches had to repay him more in thanks than in money for a zeal which the prospect of want of remuneration never diminished, and for laborious exertions which rose with the necessities of the case. Great men and small placed unreserved confidence in Mr. Coppock ; and not only was their confidence never representati on eon st was exact and n u abused, it was never p araded or exhibited. His fami liarityituencies was universal and a nicety their purity and impurity ; h e knew their lib era li ty and illiberality, saw at a g m iptree w c; i i t sh h e i s t ; he ei hd Englishd° is estimated the to lance the candidates who w ou ld and who would h g a n not suit them, could tell the she they ought to cost, and the sum they ought not to c ost, pointed out the local agents to be employed and those to be avoided. And on all those and a hundred other points, his infor mation, advice, and counsel were at the perfectly gratuitous service and disposition of his party. And then when the election bad been lost or won when a petition was presented, the Committee struck, and the last strife and struggle came On, calm, cool, good tempered and self-possessed, unencumbered himself with piles of paper, and reducing his briefs to the very smallest size, Mr. Coppock was a very model of a par liamentary agent in electioneering difficulties and Par liamentary danger. The greater the stress of weather the more colected be became ; when the storm :aged loudest it never disturbed Mr. Coppock. Not overloading his counsel with materials, he was always ready himself at their elbow W i th the information that was wanted, and in the agonies of a case he never worried bis advocate by his anxieties. In these struggles his clients placed the most unreserved reliance en his fidelity. When, in mortification of defeat, they occa sionally felt disappointment, they could always recog nise the party fidelity which animated all Mr. Coppock's proceedings. Yet he was not an unscrupulous agent ; and the opposition knew that his word once given was always redeemed. Mr. Coppock, it must be confessed, had faults and defects ; he loved a contest, and was too pugnacious ; when once in a struggle he loved to win it. This fault, no doubt, gained many a seat for his party. Occa sionally, however, it won them by means the party wa s ashamed of, the country justly condemned. It must, however, be recollected that when Mr. Coppock was first called into political practice, and for the suceeding ten years, the passions of parties were exasperated, their struggles vehement, and every election was desperately fought ; and few men rise out of the habits they acquire in the more active and stirring scenes of life. Of late years Mr. Coppock would have Nerved bis friends better, rand have avoided much personal reproach, could he have escaped from the influences and the atmo , pbere of ' the earlier part of his career. As it is we have now, i is to be hoped, nearly out-lived the violencee of party and the electoral corruption they engender ; aud, although at general elections a certain amount of ma nagement and organisation will always be resorted to on either side, the necessity and the prudence of appointing a successor to Mr. Coppock may be doubted. In private life, Mr. Coppock, if not highly culti vated, was a kind and generous man, full of quick observation and genial humour. His unfortunate con nection with the Surrey Gardens arose from the large and liberal assistance he gave to their former proprietor. For his advances to that individual he had ample security. This security, however, he abandoned when the company was formed ; and the result of his association with it was the loss of a large, let us trust not the greater part, of his savings. Mr. Coppock was originally forced into an active share in the management of the gardens. Unsuit. able as it was to all his habits of life, so long as he could take a prominent part in their conduct, the entertain ments were profitable. The general election withdrew in the second season his attention from them. After a long, laborious, and harassing parliamentary session, Mr. Coppock had, instead of repose and relaxation, to meet and encounter all the trouble and annoyance arising from their unexpected embarrassments. The vexation and mortification of this affair, joined to the want of relief from business during the long vacation, and to the duties of his new office, did their work on Mr. Coppock's robust and sturdy frame, and assisted in bringing him to a pre mature grave, with the regrets of all his personal acquaintances.—Daily News.

Leahy, Esq., between Lieut.-Colonel Astley, Scots Fusilier Guards. and T. Taylor, Esq., of Passage, in the vicinity of Cork, came off as intended, this day, in the Cork Barracks. Nothing could exceed the excite ment on the occasion, 1,0001. having exchanged hands ; and although the weather was far from favourable, there could not have been less than 2,000 people pre sent. The hour appointed was two, and after a party of the Elthorne Militia, 200 strong, had been told off for keeping the course and the preliminary ar rangements made, the ground was measured by Sir John Benson and Captain Brine, R.E. Owing to the heavy morning rains the ground was slippery, which made the betting slightly in favour of Colonel Astley. The following is the account of the day's amusement : FIRST RACE.-100 yards flat, sweepstakes of 20 sovs each, between Mr. Johnson, late of the Rifle Brigade, Captain Shaw, 36th Regiment, and Captain Brine, R.E. The former giving the two latter 4 yards start. At starting the betting was 3 to 1 against Captain Brine, even on Mr. Johnson, and 5 to 4 against Capt. Shaw. Captain Brine, R. E. Captain Shaw, 36 th 2 Mr. W. Johnson 3 Run in 11 seconds. Won easily. SECOND RACH.-11 yards flat, )00 sovs aside. 25 for feit, between Lieutenant-Colonel Astley, Scots Fusilier Guards, and T. P. Taylor, Esq. Betting previous to starting-5 to 4 against Mr. Taylor. Eventually Col, Astley backed himself at 2 to 1, which was taken to a very lsrte amount. Li e utenant-Colonel Astley 1 Mr. Taylor Won cleverly. Run in 11 seconds. THIRD Ras:L-100 yards, over 4 hurdles, 3 feet high, between Colonel Astley and Captain Shaw, the former giving the latter 6 yards start. Betting even First Heat—Dead Heat. Second Heat. Captain Shaw Colonel Astley The second heat won easily. For the information of our readers it may not be nnin ,eresting to state that Colonel .A stley is supposed to be the best amateur runner in Great Britain and Ireland ; but Mr. Johnson once beat Colonel Astley, even in 100 yards, by a foot, a few weeks back. Mr. Taylor beat Mr. Johnson twice, in 100 yards, by two yards ; and Mr. Taylor lately beat Mr. Mitchell, 14th Regiment. The various weights of the winners are— at. lb.

Albs. marle-street, riceaclillye-Opposito tliq Ircqk 119to1 s W, THE CONDITION OF THE COUNTRY. (From the Derbyshire Courier,) The condition of the country is becoming such that it appears uncertain whether some step will not have to be taken by Government to relieve it, even before Parlia ment re-assembleie The Times report from Manchester states Manufacturers say they de not recollect a more through stagnation of trade, for, though on an average the entire production of the district does not exceed one half the quantity usually produced, stooks are rapidly accumulating. No amount of concession in price—and in some cases offers are made at extraordinarily low rates—seems to produce purchases. There is no doubt that the difficulty in discounting the paper drawn against shipinents is the main cause of the small business done for India." In South Staffordshire, "the iron trade is greatly depressed, and the suspension, failure, or reduction of time of many of the large works of the district creates considerable distress. Seven failures are announced. The thin-coal colliers have generally received notice for a reduction of wages." In Birmingham " the various manufacturers are gene rally inactive." In Nottingham, " short time, and in many cases per fect cessaVoe from employment, is still acted upon in many of the factories and workshops, and great numbers of males and females are eut of eteployment." In Leicester, " great numbers of operatives are either partially or wholly unemployed." In Kidderminster, "the manufacturers are all work ing short time, and with some it is understood that when the present orders are completed they will stop altoge ther, so that the weavers have a dark prospect before them for Christmas." In Leeds, "there has been no advance on the slight improvement last reported in the woollen trade of this town and district." Short-time working prevails. In Halifax, " a good deal of short-time working." In Bradford "there has certainly been no improve ment in business, but rather an increase of gloom." The depression in the manufacturing districts is rapidly making itself felt in the decline of agricultural produce. The farmers will find the gains of their industry, obtained during the few prosperous years now passed awry, rapidly escaping from their grasp into that of the usurers and panic -mongers. Another symptom of ex tending distress is the unusually amount of money with drawn from the Bank by the Savings' Banks from all parts of the country. The depreciation of all kinds of commodities, with few exceptions, may be taken at 30 per cent. Mr. Disraeli estimates the failures of 1857 as involving liabilities of 45,000,0001. sterling, those in the panic of 1847 being 17,000,0001. Under such circumstances Parliament breaks up with out doing anything whatever to provide remedy for this accumulation of evil. Even the proposition to allow the Bank to reduce the rate of discount, without depriv ing itself of the advantages of the suspension, was rejected. Having passed their paltry Indemnity Bill, Parliament and the Ministers of the day leave the country to sink or swim as it may. But the Parliament and Ministers are not left without warning. Even the Currency Frankenstein, Lord Overstone, tellb the Lords that " there are serious and formidable difficulties hanging over this country, and in warning the house he desired tc call their earnest attention to them." The blow bag indeed already fallen. Already has ruin overtaken many of the oldest and most honourable of our merchant princes. The country may be told that many of those who have failed were speculators. But when the list of failures is collected it will appear to the most unprejudiced that by far the greater part of the failures have been men of honour, respectability, and abundant resources, the victims of Peel's monetary op __ - - tem, not of their own improvidence. The depreciation of all commodities, which Peel's Bills were especially con structed to bring about, whenever bullion left the coun try, is closing our manufactories, and reduoing hundreds of thousands of the working classes to a state of pri vation and distress, which, as their resources are ex haueted will advance to positive destitution, and if star vation be prevented, it will be only by the process of pauperising the smaller description of rate-payers. Hew great is the importance at any time of national calamity of having competent men at the head of affairs. In 1793, when great commercial distress existed, Mr. Pitt laid before the house in the clearest and most states manlike manner the causes of the distress. He sbewed how a deficiency of the circulating medium had caused a depreciation of commodities, and how merchants and tnanufacturers, with large stocks of goods, were failing or reduced to great difficulties by the impossibility of obtaining currency on their trade. But be d►d more than state the evil, he proposed a practical and immediate remedy. We refer our readers to the Annual Register, for 1793 (page 133), which gives a brief account ef the circumstances under which Mr. Pitt directed the issue of 5,000,0001. of Exchequer Bills, " to aid the commercial credit of the country." Toe drain of bullion afterwards led Mr. Pitt, in 1797, to suspend cash payments by the Beek (a measure more decided, though similar in prin ciple, than the one to which we now refer), which saved the national honour and the national credit. But the country in 1857 has no Mr. P►tt. We have a Chancellor of the Exchequer, now totally inadequate to meet the exigencies of the times. One who talks about " the derangement of capital and credit" having pro duced the monetary crisis, without being capable of dis cerning, as Mr. Pitt did in 1793, that "this " derange ment of capital and credit" is produced by the derange ment of currency; and who cannot be made to comprehend what is at parent to any person of ordinary understand ing, that if you contract the circulating medium with the declared intention (as Peel's Bills of 1819 and 1844 do declare it) of lowering the prices of all commodities, you inevitably produce a "derangement of capital and credit." And if, as in the present case, the contraction of the currency be great, rapid, and continued, you pro• duce a fearful and ruinous monetary crisis, which shakes ' the very foundation of society. All theee things are hidden from the view of Sir G. C. Lewis, and therefore he consumed the last night of the session in unimportant and trivial matters of detail re specting the Bank of England management. He did indeed attempt to enliven the dullness of his shallow and feeble exposition by inviting the ridicule of the house towards the evidence of a witness before the select com mittee (Mr. Twells), who has learned wisdom by experi ence, and who has both a sound, practical, and theoreti cal knowledge of monetary science. Every one knows that the first hundred men you meet with in Fleet-street are not more ignorant on the subject of currency than the majority of the members of the House of Commons. Sir G. C. Lewis certainly played a paltry part as a Cabinet Minister in garbling the evidence, given in all good faith and with no political object, by a gentleman of character and experience, before a committee of the house: Does Sir G. C. Lewis expect witnesses to state their opinions on an important question, without reserve, if they are to be perverted and misrepresented in the house afterwards by the chairman of the committee I But we do not, as currency reformers, value Sir G. C. Lewis' opinion sufficiently to esteem it of any conse quence what he might think or say about the currency. The evidence referred to is before the country ; and as long as the question of currency is agitated,—and that will be as long as the absurd and unjust system estab lished by Peel remains in force—so long will the princi ples which Mr. Twells advocates of a sound system of legal tender paper money obtain the attention of think ing men. We have no doubt of the ultimate triumph of currency reform. The exhibition made by the Chancellor of the Exche quer in the house was indeed a most painful one. The country is now passing through a monetary crisis of un exampled severity ; the law which regulates currency of this nation has, for the second time, been ignominiously suspended in its time of trial ; the ruin and distress caused' by even the attempt to preserve the great prin ciple of the system are appalling. There stood on Friday week last, Sir G. C. Lewis, the impersonation of re spectable incapacity. The finance minister had not a word to say as to what ought to be done in this crisis. Evidently quite ignorant on the subject, quite unable to propose any remedy for existing evils ; afraid to move lest he should make a wrong move, he is content to leave the country to the chapter of accidents rather than take the responsibility of proposing or doing any. thing ! But we warn this feeble and incapable Minister, who is unhappily for his country in a position which he is quite unequal to fill, that the fate of the nation is hang ing in suspense. Let a few millions of gold now go out, let the rate of discount keep up, and the currency be further tampered with, and the monetary crisis will be come a political and social crisis.

It is possible that we may --for this time--surmount these difficulties. But it not impossible that we may not "get over it." A very little more pressure on the social system, a little more ruin to commerce, a few more hundreds of thousands reduced to destitution, and our institutions will break down. The expulsion from office of Sir G. C. Lewis would be one of the first, and mo-t trivial occurrences. But the country may yet escape. Its rulers are evi dently incompetent. The nation must manage its monetary affairs for itself. We toll them that Currency Reform is the question of the millions. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Bth company of Royal Engineers, under the com mand of Capt. W. F. Lambert, left Brompton Barracks, Chatham, before daylight on Saturday morning for Southampton, to embark for China. A large quantity of sappers and miners' tools, for siege operations in China, have been forwarded from head-quarters, Chatham, with portable indiarubber boats, photograph apparatus, and every requisite used by the corps of Royal Engineers in mining operations. The European and American Steam Navigation Com pany's ship Argo, Captain Benson, left Spithead on Sa turday for India with detachments of troops to the number of nearly 900. All on board went away in the best spirits and very comfortable, having got well into berth during the unexpected detention of the ship in port by the Government or India Board authorities. Fine weather prevailed on their departure. Messrs. Rennie and Sone have completed three of a number of small high-pressure iron gunboats, ordered by the East India Company for river service in India. The principle on which these boats is constructed having been proved to answer the expectations anticipated with regard to speed; draught of water, Sze.; 10 others are ordered to be built forthwith. They are fitted with two screw propellers, having one under each quarter, each engine being distinct and capable of being worked alone, which will enable the vessel to turn and slew round speedily in a very narrow compass. One boiler works the pair of engines. They were last week despatched on a trial trip down the river, having an engineer officer from Woolwich Dockyard to verify the proceedings. Their rate of speed amounted to 9 knots per hoar, and draught of water only 24 inches. For the purpose of transporting these vessels to their destination they are prepared so as to disconnect the entire hull, and enable their being stowed in a ship's hold. One 12-pounder Run is mounted amidships. The total length from stem to stern is about 75 feet, and width 12 feet. The West India mail steam-ship Australasian, having been chartered by tee East India Board, has been un docked at Southampton, and was to leave that port yes terday for Plymouth to embark troops for India. Her Majesty's yacht Fairy, Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman, embarked the Qoeeu and Court at Cowes on Saturday afternoon at about a quarter pant 2 o'clock, and landed them attire Clarence-yard, Gosport, at 10 minutes pa , ,t 3, where a special train, in charge of the Hon. Ralph Dutton, deputy-chairman ; Mr. Crombie, secretary; Mr. Beattie, superintendent of locomotion ; Mr. Godson, chief superintendent, and other officers of the South Western Railway Company, were in waiting to carry the Royal party to Windsor. The following vessels, now being built at Chatham Dockyard, are in a forward state, and will be ready for launching during the ensuing year, viz :—Hero, 91 ; Hood, 90; Irresistible, 80; Mersey, 40; and Charybdis, 21; giving an aggregate of about 15,000 tons. Each vessel is to be fitted as a screw steamer. The Mersey and Charybdis will be launched in March next. The following Royal Marine Cadets passed for com missions in the corps at the examination which con cluded at the Royal Naval College, Portsmouth, on Friday evening :—Messrs. A. French, R. A. Georges, H. E. Russell, R. G. Sharpe, T. M. Whale, E. 0. B. Gray, W. N. F. Hopkins, and A. E. Otter. Lieutenant J. J. S. O'Neill, 20th Regiment, has been appointed Instructor of Musketry to the 23 Battalion at Chatham. Her Majesty's screw two-decker Victor Emmanuel, 31, got up her steam in the basin at Portsmouth, on Satur day, to try the working of her machinery antecedent to trial outside the harbour. The undermentioned mates have been promoted to be lieutenants : C. B. Dobbin (acting), J. Rozie, H. Kerr, M. E. Porter, H. F. Nicholson, F. W. laglefield, A. 0. Mac farlane (acting), E. Denny, W. N. Wise, F. De V. San ders, C. P. Roger, C. J. Brownrigg, Jas. Darling, Jas. Murdock Stdwart, T. H. Rose, C. R. Gayer, R. H. Napier (acting), R. P. Fitzgerald, P. W. Pellew, and S. G. Price. The following assistant-paymasters have been pro moted to paymasters : J. Hearnden, T. R. annis, W. H. Rills, J. J. Hay ward, H. Sewell, J. Shepherd, J. Burke, W. Rogers, and G. Barnes. Mr. Benjamin J. Hooper has been appointed Master to the Cornwallis. TEM RZTIRND ADMIRALS.—By the death of Sir Fran cis Beaufort, Rear-Admiral Hercules Robinson becomes entitled to be placed amongst the senior 25 of the retired admirals, and to reoeive the pay of his flag rank. The present senior of the retired list is John Thompson, who (as Sir F. Beaufort was) is styled a rear-admiral only, although by his seniority in the service be is en title !to the grade of vice-admiral of the red. There is something very unfair in thus depriving retired flag offi cers of their legitimate rank. It is contrary to the prac- tice in the sister service, and is extremely galling to many old officers who, like Sir Francis Beaufort, con sider themselves deprived of the position which is their due, and which their contemporaries on the active and reserved half-pay lists are enjoying. PAYMASTERS IN CHIEF,—Five more of the senior pay masters have, we observe, been retired as paymasters in chief. It is a fitting, and no doubt gratifying acknow ledgment to the officers thus promoted, and for that reason we are happy to notice the fact ; but. we should he very much better pleaa,ed to see the rank made bona fide, and an active efficient paymaster in chief attached to every flag ship to superintend the paymasters' accounts of the fleet or squadrou.—/mited Service Gazette. The naval cadets belonging to the Illustrious, at Ports mouth, have been granted five weeks' holidays. Sln H. LAIVRENCE ON TEE STATE OF OUDE. The f.)llowing is an extract from Sir Henry Lawrence's article on Army Reform in the Sept. (1856) number of the Calcutta Review (only seven months before the commencement of the mutiny), which throws considerable light upon the powerful and obstinate character of the opposition there, and is interesting as a late expresiion of the opinion of this distinguished man on a subject which he so well understood " Oade has long been the Alsatia of India. In that province were to be met, even more than at Hyderabad or at Lahore, the Afreedee and Darukzye of the Khyber the Belooch of Khelat, and the Wazeree of the Sulunani range. There also congregated the idle, the dissipated, and the disaffected of every native state in India. Added to these were many deserters from the British ranks, yet the Contingent of 12,000 men has been almost wholly filled from the old Oude army. The reason assigned for the different lime of conduct is, that the Punjab was conquered, but that Oude fell in peace. Ia this there is a tallacy, little understood, but not the less a fallacy. Proportionally few of the instigators of opposition at Lahore, and in the Sikh army, were Sikhs. They were British subjects, many of the British deserters. The general feeling of the Sikhs was hardly hostile. Many of the Sikhs were friendly, decidedly so, as compared with the Hindostaneea in the Punjab service. "The King of Oude employed 59,000 soldiers; his chiefs and officials at least as many more. Of these vast numbers, one-fifth at the utmost have found employment in the police and irregular corps. Yet these levies, with half-a-dozen regular corps, form the whole army of occupation. This seems a grave mistake. Why not, at least, make a change Why not move some of the Punjab regiments that have been keeping constant watch and ward on the Indus for seven years to Oude, and send some of the King's people to the North-west ? The King had some 8,000 artillery ; of these about 500 may have obtained employment, the rest, old and young, are on the world. Surely, if there was danger in employing Sikhs in 1849, it would be well to remove some portion of th e Oaths levies from Oude, where such materials for misc hief still remain. In the province are 246 forts, besides innumerable .smaller 1 strongholds, many of them s heltered within thick jangles. In these forts are 476 guns. Forts and guns should all be in the hands of Government, or the forts should be razed. Many a foolis h fellow has been urged on to.his own ruin by the possession of a paltry fort ; and many a paltry mud fort has r epulsed British troops. . "The 80,00 0 or 90,000 disbanded Oude soldiers are the brethren of the British eepoys .. . ... "A paragraph in the Delhi. Gazette, announcing that the Oude a uthorities are disposed to dispense with the service of the regular regiments for Lucknow, tempts a few further words of caution, though we do not alto gether credit the newspaper report. The earliest days annexation are not tee safest. Be liberal, considerate, and merciful, but be prompt, watchful, and even quietly suspicious. Let not the loose characters, floating on the surface of society, especially such a society as Lucknow, be too far tempted or trusted. Wellington's maxim of ' keeping the troops out of sight' answered for England ; it will not answer for India. There must be trusty bayonets within sight of the under. standings, if. not of the eyes, of Indian subjects before they will pay willing obedience or a t n hh y ea r va e be v o e bi n ie u te( e )nl . l Of late years the wheels of Government have been shucked.

On the 11th she left Sedgeliell to go to Elwick for the purpose of seeing her brother who was in service there. She llid to go across a num bertis),noaoe ttdthrough which there is a public foot e path, She efi site otierteit,l l o ) e a al d d npdr g hih o is mo t e n a ,ae b sark o n i eo i dd t sbl two; he() miles from pro ceeded on in opposite direotion.s. A r i e l ;t , o ' h ti e iht S e h an e distance pm d ri i o -l a e further on she met the other prisoner, Jameson, who asked her if she had met a man dressed in white clothes on tho road. She told him she had, and he then passed on. On arriving at El wick the prosecutrix went to see her brother, who nave her hleco,edfnaagofineewiedi ddlehdlisvdsil through a halfcrown piece and a sixpence. She afterwards went to the house of a person named Fur by, where she had dinner, and left there between 5 and 6 o'clock in the evening. In the meantime the pri soners at the bar had been at Furby's house, and . made inquiries about a young woman in black clothes. The prosecutrix was dressed in black on that day. A young man at Furby's house told the prisoner Osborn that her name was Gibson, and that she had gone to Elwick to see her brother. Osborn said he had a slight acquaintance with the young woman. The prosecutrix proceeded a little distance on the road home, when she Met both the risoners at the bar. Osborn said, "Well, Miss Gibson, you have not been long seeing your brother." Having no acquaintance with themen pro se.cutrix said nothing in reply, but walked on. She Iproeeede on about the distance of two fields, when on turnip, round she saw the - two men coming after her. Sh set off and ran away, pursued by the prisoners, who overtook her at a stile about 140 yards from the nearest house. Osborn then seized her and threw her down. The other prisoner also got hold of her, and held her until Osborn took the half-crown and sixpence from het' pocket. Osborn, • ._ on obtaining the money, said, " She's only got 382' After that Osborn proceeded to violate her person, the other prisoner holding her down, and placing his hand over her mouth while his companion effected his purpose. Osborn afterwards struck the prosecutrix a severe blow on the mouth for shouting out " Murder," from the effects of which the blood flowed freely. Osborn then said, " I shell see you again, and I'll give you back your balfcrown." The prisoners then left her. The prosecutrix then re turned to Furby's, but finding a strange woman in the house, she made no complaint of the outrage which had been committed upon her pe.s..n,b , it she stated to them that she had b..ve assaulted ;ind robbed. She then went to Se_ig: filil, w: ere she saw a woman named Jane Rosa, ta wlFini she made a complaint of what had ',al:et' place. In cnse- • quence of that complaint, information was g'ven to the police, who took the prosecutrix to Mr. Rod dock's surgery. Mr. Ruddock was trot at home at the time. The girl, however, was examined by Jane Ross, who found marks of vi- deuce upon her person, and observed that her bonnet was almost torn to pieces. At 11 o'clock the semi night prosecutrix was seen by Mr. Ruddock, and she then exhibited traces of recent violation, but no . other marks of violence on her pet son. On the evening of the 231 of August the prosecutrix was in the streets at Middlesbro' when some person tapped her on the shoulder, and, showing her a halfcrown, said, "Do you remember that ?'' Prosecutrix observed that it was the , prisoner Osborn, and she replied, " Yes, and I'll make you remember it too." She then went into the house of her uncle, who lived near, and gave informa tion which led to the prisoner being taken into cus tody. On the way to Durham gaol they passed a - man who was working at a building, when the pri soner said, "Do you remember that Wednesday ? I'm taken up on account of that job." This obser vation led to the apprehension of the prisoner Jameson. - The prosecutrix, Mr. Furby, Mr. Ross, and Mr. Ruddock, the surgeon, were next examined, and deposed to the facts as narrated in the counsel's opening, but the girl, on cross-examination, gave a rather confused statement of the locality in which the offence was committed, and admitted that she did not struggle very violently. When appre hended Osborn said he did not know the girl, and denied his name, but on his road from the Stockton police-station to the railway station be observed to Jameson, who was working in a cellar at the end of John-street, " This is for that job ; you'd re collect I" He then asked the policeman, "If you knew the other man, would you take him ?" and the officer said he would, and Osborn said,- " Yon's the man I spoke to." The policeman baring de posited his charge at the railway station, returned to the cellar and apprehended Jameson, who said, without being charged with the crime, " I did not do the offence ;" and subsequently, "I was half a field off when the offence was committed. I told him the consequenceS. I said, Tom, you know the consequences, and must be a scoundrel ;' but when he rau I ran." The jury, after a short consideration, kund both prisoners guilty. Osborn (tapping Jameson on the shoulder) said —lf my Lord Judge convicts this man ho convicts an innocent man. His Lordship sentenced the prisoners each to 20 years' penal servitn.e. This case occupied nearly all day. FREIGHT OF STU - M.—lt appears free a Parliamentary return issued on Saturday that 5,174/. was txpended by the Treasury on the freight of speiie sent abroad in 1850-7. A letter from Marseilles of the 17th iast. states that a new steam boat, called the Pausilippe, has just been launched at the Cietat, for the company of the Messageries Imperia'es. This vessel is to sail between Marseilles, tha coast of Italy, Naples, and Malta. She is built on a new p'an, so as to afford the greatest possible accolemoiation to travellers. There are 80 beds so placed that passengers suffering from sea sickness may repose themselves without difficulty. Her engines are of 300-horse power, and she has made 14 knots an hour. ROYAL BRITISH BANK.—PROCICEDINGS Or THE ASSIdNEES.—The task of the assignees of the late Royal Briti-h Bank to carry out the canipromim3 proposed some months since, and for which the act of Parliament of the last session was intended to give increased facilities, is by no means an easy or a pleasant one. Two or three of the trade assignees meet almost daily for the purpose of examining and cross-examining those of the share holders who are willing td contribute towards the fund required to carry out the arrangement. The pr , mess of examination is a searching one. All the secrets of trades and professions are disclosed, the nature of marriage settlements is inquired into, the present position, future prospects, and the existing liabilities are explained ; and Ithese terrible judges, from whom there is no appeal, decide whether the sum offered to be paid in each case is such as the means of the party would warrant them in accepting. One or two instances have occurred in which the shareholders who have offered to pay four or five hundred pounds have been found to be clearly cap able of paying as many thousands—in some cases legal proceedings have been commenced, and in others a corn- . promise has been entertained. Negotiations for the sale of the Welch mining property have been going on for some time. The works have been carried on by the assignee, and a slight profit has resulted from the work. ing. Some offers for the purchase of the property have been made through Mr. Wyld, whose knowledge of mining affairs his been of great service to the creditors of the company in connection with the valuation and manag ement of the mines and work s. The p rices offered, and the terms of p a y ment, have varied considerably. The property will, there is no doubt, reartse between scanty and thirty thousand pounds. tAevzwrisamsxr.)—We etre happy to quote the following Interes ti ng information from Du Ba rr y' s Re p ort on cures o f Indigestion (Dyspepsia) , Flatulenc y , Consti p ation, Ner voile, Bilious, and Liver Complaints, Cough, Asthma§ Consumption, and Debility, without medicine by Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food : Eight years' dyspep. sia, nervousness, debility, with cramps, spasms, and nausea, C re a lan sti : o o u f nt Down, s o f Ireland, 9th s for which my servant had co nsulted the advice of many, have been effectually removed by Du Barry's Revaleata A ra bica Food in a very short time.
