After the Prase comes the Coturier Francais, a more moderate, hut a not less decided organ of the Court, though by no means so bitter an assailant in ordinary of the TnIERS' Cabinet. Hear •:hat it says on the sub- jcct : The note of M. Thiors, in answer to Lord Palmers ton the 8:b of October, may be considered as being the counterpart of the treaty of the 15th of July. The Four Powers have guaranteed the existence of the Sul tan ; France guarantees that of Mehemet Ali. She declares that the power of the vassal is not less neces sary to the balance of power in Europe than that of the Sultan, and that she can admit the destruction neither of one nor the other. This declaration, immediately following the act of deposition, would have given France a noble and resolute attitude. Unfortunately six days elapsed between drawing up the note and sending it ; and while the Ministry were deliberating, Lord Gran ville as well as M. d'Appony intimated to the French Cabinet that their Governments did not approve of this measure, which could only be executed in certain cases. The note, modified alter this step of the Ambassa dors, appears somewhat merely to ask what was known to be, granted. We appe.lr to be attempting to break down an open door, and to combat an obstacle which has disappearet'a Yet it is something so extraordinary to see France declare a cases belli in the face of Eu rope, that the Government ought to have credit for this proof of energy, insufficient as it is. Several parts of the note are worthy of remark as so many protests against the policy of the Four PoNers ; but this document, though allowing the point of the sword to be seen, indicates also how negotiations may be resumed it the Powers should feel inclined to treat. Thus, if Syria for life were granted to the Pacha, France would guarantee the arrangement, and give its sanction to the intervention of the European Powers in the affairs of the Ottoman Empire. The de claration which terminates the nose bespeaks that calm pride which becomes a strong Government. M. Thiers hopes the Four Powers will take the same view of the question of the East as France does. Should they do otherwise, this will not turn France from its path. How much better would have been our position had this lan guage been held from the commencement We quote this article to show our readers the way in Nvhich the Court organs regard the Minis terial concess'ons ; and to enter our protest against the sarcastic and provoking spirit in which it is conceived. This is not a time to taunt M. TM ERS with his return to a pacific policy. He has com mitted blunders, but for the sake of peace we are willing to forget them. How much more so ought the organs of a Court which as yet can but surmise the extent to which he has the power of compro mising its dignity and its repose ? No concession made by the French Government, however late, or however mata-propos, will be attributed in Eng land to a dread of the Allies. England knows France to be what she is herself—incapah:e of fear- No oversight or delay on the part of a French Mi nister can compromise the greatness or the heroism of France in the eyes of the world. Contradictory accounts of the growing disposi tion of the English for peace were current in Paris on Monday. The Dcbats has it that the peace party had prevailed, while the Constitution nel is persuaded that the war party were upper most. Our Contemporary, the Chronicle, will have it that, like the contest of the knights about the metal of the shield, both were wrong, as the Cabinet remains exactly where it was a month ago. The Chronicle is a small authority on matters connected with Downing -street, whatever it may be +•ith respect to transactions on the Stock Exchange. Now we only state what is well known to all in communication with Ministers, when we assert that the disposition to maintain peace at any price has greatly increased in the Cabinet even within the last ten days. The Tou/onncis of the 14th list., published the following important news from Alexandria, con veyed to Toulon by the Etna steamer. When the Etna left Alexandria, which she did on the even ing of the 3d inst., the two French steamers, Ful ton and Castor, and the brig Diligente, was in that port : On the 26th ult. a portion of the Anglo-Turko-Au!- trian squadron appeared under the walls of Said, which it bombarded from eleven o'clock A.M. until four in the afternoon. The town was then carried by the troops landed from the ships, and the British flag hoisted on its ramparts. The steamer Castor received on board the French, the Maronites, monks, and other persons resident in the town, who were placed under the protec• tion of France. Every point of the Syrian cont, with the exception of Beyrout and St. Jean d'Acre, was in the possession of the All:es, who had likewise taken a strong position Within two miles of Beyrout, where they bad entrerched themselves. Ibrabim and Soliman Paella where waiting until the bad weather compelled the blockading forces to quit the coast, in order to attack the Allied troops in their positions. The Viceroy appealed satisfied. Towards the close of Sep tember he published a firmin exempting the Syrian mountaineers from the conscription, and promising to free from the payment of taxes during their life al those who should enter the army of Ibrabim. Me hi-met Ali had ordered several ships of the line to sail out and give battle to the two English ships Asia and Revenge cruising off Alexandria, but was advised to the contrary by M. Cochelet, the French Consul, and countermanded that order. Some differences had arisen between the Egyptian and Turkish seamen at Alexandria ; blood had flowed, and several arrests had taken place. On the evening of the 13th instant the steamer Meteore sailed from Toulon to Alexandria, with despatches from the Government to the French C o nsul-General M. COCHELET. Of their import nothing was known, but it was supposed that they recommended the greatest moderation on the part of the PACII A . _ _ _ The only other article worthy of remark in these Journals is one in the Courrier Francais, on the vial of the assassin DA RM ES by the Court of Peers. It certainly argues a most defective state of the criminal law in France, when a wretch like this cannot be hied by the ordinary tribunals of the country : (From the Courricr Francais.) The Court of Peers is convoked. A Royal ord' 'lance charges it with the cognisance of the criminal at tempt made on the Isth October. We regret to see so high a tribunal, forming a portion of the Legislative power, employed about an assassination, and about to judge a vulgar criminal like Darmes, after having judged Louis Napoleon. Here the solemnity of the trial has no excuse. In the present case there is no grandeur in the conspiracy, no difficulty in the law pro ceedings, no partiality to he dreaded from ordinary Judges, nor any mistrust to be conceived respecting their firmness. If, as it has been affirmed, the Keeper of the Seals proposed that the culprit should be given up to the justice of the Jury, we congratulate him on remembering as Minister the doctrines he professed on the Opposition benches. Is it not a pity to see it hundred or a 1 undred and twenty Peers, whose hair has whitened in the highest functions of the State, assembled to ascertain the more or less perverse intentions of a wretch «ho has fired on the King? The crime ispositive—the assassin is a low born conspirator. Unless it be intended to display his horrible monomania to every eye, as if publicity could increase the disgust it inspires, we do not understand why he should be tried at the Luxembourg. The rssassins of Kings are not to be treated, it ap. pears, as common assassins. This is a tradition the Ministers found established, and which they follow, as if they were not come for the purpose of changing tradi tions. It is there that the evil lies, While madmen imagine that crime ceases to be crime when committed against a King, the Government, instead of villifying such a horrid act, involuntarily teed to remove it from degradation by taking it out of the class of common crimes. Parricide is tried by the Jury—why then should regicide be tried by another tribunal ? This manner of classing crimes according to the rank of the guilty or the dignity of the victims, is a remnant of the prejudices of the middle ages ; nobility long possessed the privilege of being tried but by its Peers'. But such anomalies should not take place under a Government possessing the principle of equality. The intervention of the Court of Peers should be limited to cases where Ministers are impeached. To call the Peers to judge frequently, and all kinds of criminals, is not only weakening their authority, but it is also altering the justice of the country. Ordinary justice is annulled by a too frequent use of ex traordinary justice. The jury, thus deprived of a part o f its attributes, in fa vour of the Court of Peers, lose s a part of its charac ter of universality,: which formed th e chief feature of this grand institution. When there is a tribunal for one kind of offences, and another trib una l for others, repress ion becomes a specialty, and equ a lity before the law ceas es to exist. We are drawing the logical consequences of : the measure that the Govern ment bas just taken, but we do not pretend to say th a t it intended acy such c ensequecce:s. The . Gus eminent did nut dare he - itself, and that is its real fault. FURTHER DETAILS Of THE ASSASSIN DARMES. Dorms, in 1830, was a frO teur i n the service of the THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21 1840. Prince de Conde, whence he was dismissed on suspicion of theft. Having got another situation in a house, he became aequvinted with the cook and married her. This weman had a daughter who is now about 17 years of age. She and her mother came to lire with Darmes, in the rue flauteville, but they could not live long under the same roof. Dames, a man violent, quarrelsome, and addicted to drinking, acted frequently in such an outragecus manner that the Lao pour creatures were obliged to leave the house to avoid the ill-treatment to which they were subjected. Their d,pe.;.ture irritated Darmes, who at length succeeded in ascertaining their residence. Seeing that they would be unable to escape his persecution it they remained in Paris, his wife and daughter reselved on seeking refuge at a distance, and are now living in the department of the Nord. After his wife had left him, Dames made his mother, the widow of a man called Lenoir, and who went out as a nurse, come to live with him, but she was soon obliged to leave him. To the othe r t ra d es o f D a rmes we must add that of cobler. He has oft en wo rk e d as a journeyman cobler in a small shed. Gene rally speaking, he worked but little, of course was seldom in cash, and was obliged to pawn his effects and to contract debts which he never paid. In the places where he used to take meals, Dames was a downright demagogue, preached the propaganda, and emitted principles which were as absurd as they were depraved and cynical. Of late his habits had ill lergone a complete change, and, instead of being turbulent and noisy, he had be come silent and sad. _ _ rectors must again pl ea d gu ilt y t o gross negligence and most faulty regulatio ns . We regret to see that the Coroner was disposed to check the investigation, instead of promoting it. He ought to have encourage d th e investigation into all the circumstances, and into all the regulations as to lights, not have confined himself to the mere person and engi ne , by whose agency not by whose fault the death w as cause d. We hope that Mr. CA RTTA it will hereafter revise his law on this point, or that j urors on i nquests ov er which he presides will refuse to give any verdict till they are allowed thoroughly to investigate every case which comes before th en) . Th e d eo d an d, we believe, would have been, and certainly it ought to have been, greater, h a d t h e con d uct o f t h e Directors been investigated. Railways arc essential improvements. We are deeply interated in their success, and their benefits ought not to be weakened or destroyed, if inquiry can prevent it, by t h e cup idi ty an d a mbition of selfish and ignorant men . H uman :ife ought not to be spotted with ; and the Directors of all railroads cannot, therefore, be held too strictly and severely responsible for every species of neglect. The Coroner o not, our judgment, do his duty by in i n t o a ll the regulations t promoting did an employed to avoid such a collision, which occurred, we affirm, from the gross neglect of the Directors. It was not on the left of the guard-house, called Port (10 Lion, that' Darmes was standing when he made his horrible attempt, but on the right. The amputation of three !lagers, which Darmes un derwent yesterday, presents no serious aspect. Yesterday morning early, as a sergeant of the 57th Regiment of the line was going his round, within the garden of the Tuileries, he found on the terrace facing the water, at about forty paces from where the murder ous attempt was made, and quite close to the sentinel's box, the breech of the carbine of Darmes, with a por tion of the barrel still adhering to it. An idea of the violence of the explosion may be formed, when we state that the wall in that part of the garden is more than twenty feet high, and that the place where this portion of the carbine was found was nearly fifty paces distant from the spot where the at tempt was made. Among the things found on Darmes, when arrested, was a pamplllet on Mallet's Conspiracy, published ~bout two months ago, by a man of the neme of Duu tette. The Newcastle and Birmingham Urquhartite performing a d ro ll an d no vel part in Delegates are the drama of politics in Paris. Mr. CHARLES ATTWOOD is so burlesquing the Eastern Question that the vexation on all sides must yield to an im sistible inclination to laugh at the whole affair. This gentlema;:s amusing impeachment of Lord PALMERSTON b , . fore the bar of French pubic opinion will be found in another column. We were und.:r a necessity a few days ago to point out, in opposition to a writer in the Herald, that civilization was not dependent upon Christi anity, but grew up 'naturally as men multiplied, and was different in different countries, existing to a certain degree before Christianity existed, and ex isting in countries, like China and Mexico, where Christianity was unknown. Since then we have noticed a book advertised with the title " The Natural History of Society in the Barbarous and Civilized State, an essay towards discovering the origin and course of human improvement." The work is written by an LL.D. of Trinity College, Dublin, and was suggested to the author by the Archbishop of DUBLIN. This title, though the book be got up by members of the priesthood, im plies that the cause of human improvement is yet to be ascertained, and is nut therefore Christianity. Since then, too, we have read an article in the Times, in which " social order " is declared to be one of the genuine fruits "of Christianity.' I'he immense worldly honour now showered on Christianity was never looked forward to by its author, who repeatedly and emphatically declared that his kingdom was not of this world. If Christianity be, as these w r it ers sa y, the source of civilization and social order, they must be reminded that Roman Catholi c Christianity alone existed for upwards of fifteen centuries, and that it still prevails in by far the larger proportion of the Christian world. Protestant Christianity is both of very modern origin, and is yet of very limited ex tent ; but the very party which ascribes these poli tical and social virtues to Christianity, continually speaks of Roman Catholicism as full of errors, as dangerous to society, as an impediment to civi rization, and as corrupting mankind. Now, one or other of these propositions cannot be true. Either Christianity is not the source of civilization and social order, or the Papal superstition, as the ultra-Protestants call Catholic Christianity, is not chat dangerous, ruinous, unsocial teligion they de scribe it. The Protestant bigots, in their anxiety to annihilate two antagonists, are shockingly in consistent. To the Catholics, professing the Chris tianity of two-thirds of Europe, and the Christianity BOURSE.-PARIS, MONDAY, OCT. 19. t 115 L ' Pligtiest Lowcia Last Price Price.

Reviewer no injustice in as cribing to him a proposal to raze half our towns, and in declaring that such a proposition is agree able to the dispositions, projects, and practises of the inconsistent ultra-Protestant pri es t s of t h e Church of England. It is mere child's play in the Times to defend the Quarterly Review, by any presumed deficiencies of Mr. CARLYLE. The writer in the Review either ought not to take up a pen on political sub jects, or he ought to know that there arc a score of other remedies for the evils of the community be sides those suggested by Mr. CARLYLE. Befoic the Reviewer suggested, therefore, that half our cities may be razed, he should have discussed every other suggestion, and especially he should have in stituted a searching inquiry into the utility of a s e lf_ ordained, all-usurping priesthood. But the one idea which fills the mind of the Reviewer, is the all-sufficiency of that priesthood ; and to give them power in conjunction with the landlords he suggested, not only that half our towns might be razed, but that the people should be drilled in sub serviency to the priest and the receiver of rent, as if all civilization consisted in the rest of mankind being their slaves. He knows nothing, or he cares nothing, of the skill, ingenuity, and virtues which grow up in cities, the true centres and sources of all civilization ; he hears nothing, sees nothing but the priestdom, and to the preservation of its power would he impiously roll back society a few centuries. To raz' half our cities is only a consequence of the general system the Review and the Times have embraced ; and not from au iso lated phrase, not from any single propoSition, not from any part;cular doctrine, but from their lan guage and conduct—from their general doctrines and practises, we denounce the priest party zs being, at present, the great enemies of human im provement, and of all social progress. We must really endeavour to pay a little more attention to the progress of affairs in Ireland. Things are in such a bad way there, that . the omission of a particular notice of them would seri ously reflect on our credit, as one of the oracles at whose shrine all that is passing should be to be learned. We repeat that things are in a very had way—or rather in a most dangerously interesting con dition in Ireland. In the first place, the Conser vatives arc fighting like cat and dog, biting and scratching each other most unmercifully, and now and then indulging in language which the Times, the Post, the Herald, and the Dublin Evening Mail, have told us a thousand times over, was confined to the squabbles of low Radicals ; and, in the next, the Repealers are all to a man ready to join the French, and, of course, to ex change as sovereign Queen VICTORIA for King DANIEL the FIRST, and as Supreme Pontiff the same illustrious and Royal personage for GRE GORY the SIXTEENTH. These highly important facts rest upon no obscure authority. They are stated in a letter addressed to the Evening Mail, by a personage no less distinguished than the Hon. RANDAL PLUNKET, who, as a Tory leader, iv conclusive authority on all that relates to Con servative bickerings. • As we are discussing Irish politics, a regard to national propriety demands that we begin with an account of a Conservative " scrimmage." On the 3d inst., the Hon. RANDAL PLUNKET attended a meeting of the Irish Metropolitan Conservative Society, to move a string of resolutions on the Re peal Question. They were not much in harmony with the vow which the Hibernian HA M ILCAR had solemnly promised his children should take upon the altar of their country, but we pass that over, that we may the sooner arrive at the Hon. Gentleman's own description of his reception : " Oa the day appointed for my motion (the 31 of (.),- tober) I attended at the Conservative Society, prepared to move my resolutions, when a scene occurred which • almost defies description. Suffice it to say, that, not withstanding Major Crawfurd, a Vice-President or the Society, was in the Society's house, having attended by particular desire to take the chair that evening, a party in the Sccicty, whom I believe to be the same who have long kept up the great excitement in the Corporation, Moved, and insisted upon retaining Alderman Archer in the chair, with a view, as I was informed, of preventinj my resolutions from passing—perhaps of allowing me a heating, as they do to Mr. Shaw. This scene of riot, uproar, and of the most disgraceful confusion, continued until past ten o'clock, and there was not then the smallest chalice of our getting to the business of the evening. Major Crawford insisted, most properly, on his right, as a V tee-President, to take the chair, in the absence of any senior officer ; I, of course, supported him, aio when we hat; stayed longer than could have been ex pected, 1 made a short address to the gentlemen assent bled in the Committee-room, stating that as it appeared to me that the Committee, as then constituted, either did not or would not govern the order of the proceed. inns of the Society, so as to give me a chance of the fair dealing which was usual in a deliberative assembly, 1 would withdraw my resolutions and myself from the Society." _ . - Such inconsistencies make us regard most of the assertions of the ultra-Protestant priesthood, and their ignorant cr stupid supporters who have an ob vious personal purpose to serve, with much suspi cion.- They are in the enjoyment of wealth and power, and to preserve them their intellect is always ready to suggest arguments conformable to their interests.

Their boasted loyalty was the coin in which they paid for wealth and influence. But now that loyalty is not a gainful commodity, they will have nothing at all to do with it. They cast it and decency from them as they would dirt that incommoded their walking. The virtues of Toryism are all purchas able and valuable in the market for so many places and pensions as their possession is likely to bring. Every Tory, and more especially every Irish Tory, fancies himself of that importance to the community that lie has a claim to be supported out of its re venues without himself contributing to them in any France has said that she would (in the event of war) carry Catholicism and Liberty on her banners, that is to say, Popery and Revolution. " Whut are, at the same time, the opinions of some of the Irish Roman Catholic; on this matter ? I have learned a great deal, and from good sources lately. A respectable person of the lower orders, on being asked by a Protestant gentleman the other day whether ho real!) , thought they would get repeal, said Le did not, unless there was a war, and that then he was sure they would. " Two Roman Catholic gentlemen of rank, one an Hon., and the other a Rght Hon., at different times, and to different pecple, stated to some Protestant gen . timer' of very strong Radical sentiments, who were fa!king with apparent indifference, perhaps disparagingly of the repeal of the Union, the one, that his friend had better not talk so of the repeal, for that if they (the Roman Catholics got it, they would not leave him even as steward on his own estate ; the other told his hearer, with a sgniticant look—' I might say so, because I am a Roman Catholic ; but you --!" From the extent of the weight attached by the public to the opinions of two gentlemen, the one an Honourable and the other a Right Honour able, on the repeal question, we refer Mr. PLUNKET to what the Corporation of Dublin have decided to be due to the convictions of him self and his Right Hon. Friend Mr. Su A w on a matter of far more importance to the members of that body. We are not to be frightened out of our wits by what two anonymous Honourables or Right Honourables may say about repeal. Our only source of alarm is to know that a "respectable person of the lower orders" has arrived at the con clusion that war would bring repeal. To which of the lower orders, since there appears to be a plurality of them in Ireland, does this brogued political seer belong ? Did the inquisitive " Pro testant Gentleman". take the trouble of inquiring if he could read, and in what way he had con trived to jump at a conclusion so startling ? Is it, moreover, the custom with Irish Protestant gen tlemen to consult the lower orders of Papists as to I the result of great political questions ? We greatly desire answers to - these queries, which we doubt not a gentleman so communicative as Mr. RANDAL PLUNKET will have pleasure in sup plying to our entire satisfaction. In the mean time, we must look a little closer after the vagaries of the Irish Conservatives and Repealers. With the grave prospect of a war with France, we are sadly in want of something to provoke merriment at home. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice BesANQuET and Mr. Justice EitSKINE.) THE EARL OF CARDIGAN AND CAPTAIN TUCK ETT. The Grand Jury having found true bills against the Earl of Cardigan, and his second, Capt. Douglas, their names were pla2ed on this day's list. The bills pre ferred against Captain Tuckett, and his second, C;p tain Wainwright, Lave bean thrown out. On the arrival of Mr. Justice Bosanquet and Mr. Justice F.rskine, at ten o'clock, Mr. ADOLPHUS (with whom was Mr. Bodkin), said that in looking into the list of cases he observed, that No. 7, was that of the Earl of Cardigan. The Court would be aware that the Earl of Cardigan being a Peer of the realm, could not be tried here ; therefore he sub. mated that his name should be taken from the list. His Lordship would of course be tried be!ore the proper tribunal when the proper time arrived. Mr. Justice BOSANQUET said that the proper course would be to remove the case from this Court to the House of Lords, where the Earl of Cardigan would take his trial. Mr. ADOLPHUS—That would he the proper course. Mr. Justice BOSANQUET did not think any order o! this Court necessary. Mr. A DOLPHOS—I should think not, my Lord; but the Noble Lord is under recognizancos to appear here, and I think they may be discharged, or they may be cstreated. Mr. Justice BOSANQUET asked if it was usual to estrcat the recogninnees before the end of the session ? A. writ of certiorari might in the meantime be issued for removing the case from this Court to the House of Lords. Mr. ADOLPHUS—As the House of Lords is not sit ting at present, we are in doubt what to do exactly. Mr. Justice ERSKINE—You may move a certiorari out of the Court of the Lord High Steward. Mr. ADOLPHUS said there was another case, No. 8 in the list, similar to that of the Earl of Cardigan. The indictment was against John Douglas, the second of the Noble Earl ; and the charge was the same as in the other case. It would be desirable if he could bu placed in a situation to be tried after the Earl of Cardigan, for the one case was subsidiary to the other. Capt. Doug wasmerely an accessory, and it would be most con venient to dispose of the case of the Eat] of Cardigan in the first place. Mr. Justice flosiQuET—lt would be inconven'ent to try the else of John Douglas before the one is disposed of. The Conn. inquired if the party was out on bail? Mr. ADOLPHUS said he was, and the witnesses were also undrr rccognizinces to appear and prosecute. The COURT ordered the recognizances to be respite(' until next session. Mr. BODKIN—I du not perfectly understand your Lordship's order respecting the case of the Earl of Cardigan. Is it to be postponed whether the certiorari shall arrive this session or not ? Mr. Justice BOSANQUET said it was understood that the recognizant:es of all parties should be rcspited until the next session. Mr. Fox Manic came into the Court immediately after the application was disposed of, and took his seat on the bench. MANSLAUGHTER.—John Davis, aged 21, a respe:c-i -ablc.:ooking young man, who was stated in the calendar to be a perfumer, was charged with fcloaiously killiag and slaying Richard Bone. He was committed on the Coroner's inquisition. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner at the bar, and two others, were, on the 2d of this month, at two o'clock in the morning, making a great noise in the streets in the neighbourhood of Christchurch in Surrey, and amusing themselves with striking and push ing about the passers by. The policeinterfered ; and one of the prisoner's companions knocked down one of the policemen, and was illusing him on the ground, when the deceased, who was an old man, came up to the assist ance of the policeman, and taking his rattle sprung it, on which the prisoner, making use of a disgusting ex• pression, said that he would stop him from springing the rattle, and he went up and struck him and kicked him on the leg slightly. The deceased fell, and the prisoner kicked him in the side, and on the leg. When he was taken up it was found that his leg was broken, and that he also was suffering from violent pain in the side. lie was ultimately taken to Guy's Hospital, where he died. The medical man who attended the deceased was not called. The prisoner, in his defence, said that he did not strike Bone until after the latter had struck him with the rattle, when he returned the blow. He denied that he kicked or struck him after be was down. He then called witnesses to character. Mr. Justice ERSKINE summed up, and animadverted severely upon the absence of medical testimony as to the cause of death. The Jury found the prisoner guilty of Manslaughter. Mr. Justice ERZKINE sentenced him to twelve months imprisonment with hard labour. RAILWAY SHARES, it. Germain el - salt:Es, It B 3lO ... 310 34 L.P.. ...........247 50 ... '451 ... 217 50 Orleans ..

Itappears that poor old General LATRE died in consequence of the brutal treatment he received at the hands of two Valencian soldiers-, It appears by the Coroner's Inquest on the body of the young woman killed by the collision o! the two trains on the South Western Railway, that the driver of the fast train, JOHN WELFORD, to wherr, however, let us carefully observe, no blame whatever attaches, is 22 years of age, receives 7s. a-day, and was educated as a fireman and a stoker. He drove a tender and seven carriages. How many passen gers were in them, does not appear, but if we sup pose ten each carriage, the number will be seventy. A lad, therefore, of 22 years of age, whose education and wages show that he belongs to the class of skilled workmen, without any regular ap- prenticeship et instruction, is entrusted with all this great responsibility. We infer, too, from the evidence, that there was no assistant driver with this youth to keep a look out, to warn, or to aid him, cr to supply his place in case of accident, With all deference to the Directors of the South Western Railway, we assert that this is notWhal-4 ought to be. In the police reports there is a case of an engine driver on the Birmingham Railway, sentenced by the Magistrate of Marylehonc for gross misconduct to hard labour in the House of Correction for two calendar months. He is to go to the tread-mill, and when he is thus degraded, and probably made thoroughly reckless, he will become a driver on some other railway. This exhibits the sort of legislatiot. and sort of law to which the youths 0f22 years of age, who receive 7s. a dav, and are intrusted with the lives of hundreds of persons, are subjected. This degrading species of punishment may be proper for certain felonies, but it is an improper punishment f o r want of skill or for neglect. Such, however, is the wisdom of Lord SEYmou It's Railway Act, but it is not the wisdom of every-day life. What man in his sqnses would trust a lawyet earning 7s. a day, and acting from no higher motive than the fear of the tread-mill —terribly inoperative as that is in most cases, as the lamentable preva lence of crimes proves—with a suit which in volved a sum of 20/. ? Or what reasonable being, would intrust the care of a dog or a horse (our YOUATTS and AINSLIES who look after horses and dogs are well educated, scientific, and practical men) to a physician earning 21. 2s. per week, and liable to the degrading punishment of the treadmill if he should unfortunately mistake his patient's case? It is bad enough for the community to be obliged to trust their lives to youths, paid at the rate of seven shillings per day ; but it is still worse that these persons are degraded in their own estima tion, and deprived of high and honourable mo tives for good conduct by a stupid law, which renders them liable to an infamous punishment. We say so much of the general misconduct of the Directors of Railways, for they all employ similar persons for drivers, and pay them at a similar rate, and so much for the still grosser misconduct of the u nthinking stupid Legislature. We must now say a word on the particular case. The mischief was caused by a person who should have shown a red light not having done so. The whole system of lights on this road seems defective. JOHN TURNER, it appears, neglected his duty. But why should JOHN TURNER, or any other person, have such a duty imposed on him ? As long as the place of arrival and de parture is not clear a light should be continually exhibited as a warning. Now, what is more easy than to make the exhibition of such a light fiery and flaring, so that no man could doubt or be de ceived, dependent on machinery, to be shown on the arrival of any carriage or train, which light should by: made to disappear as the last carriage of the train moved off the railway, and left the place clear? We have always understood that the exhibition of such a light was essential. JOHN TURNER did not turn on the red light ; the Directors did not cause a red and glaring light to be put up announcing that a train occupied the place where they knew be half asleep another train j wa s coming. JOHN TURNER may s lte ch fa a nl w ty a — rn l in ti: udgment may have erred ; ht; might but the Directors, by not having u light exhibited as long as a train occupies the place of arrival, are, in our ithigment, very guilty. Surely, too, every train in motion should have a stron , y, and distinctly coloured light at both ends, one to dis:invol , A its fore;cost and the other its hindmost end. Why had not both trains su c h lights? Neither appears to have had.

At night the prisoner took the bag up to the bed-room, and in the morning no notice was taken of his going out with it in his hand, although he had not paid his bill. Some days afterwards Mrs. Al dztrson found that a trunk in her bed-room had been opened, and a quantity of wearing apparel stolen there from. Subsequently one of her gowns was found to have been p:edged with a pawnbroker, Mr. Upsall, of Barbican, through whose means the prisoner was taken. O e • gowns and articles of dress belonging to Mrs. Al derson, were also fully time 1 to the prisoner, who had sold some and pawned others.
