LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 7,185 T ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHING BY STEAM. It might puzzle the most speculative philosopher or the most profound mechanist to say from which power, steam or electricity, the greatest amount of benefit is likely to result to mankind. Steam has already done wonders, though, in spite of the oft repeated saying that "it is still in its infancy," there seems reason to believe that already have we nearly approached the wide limits of what can be effected by that power. With electricity, on the contrary, the field that is gradually expanding before the inquiries of men devoted to that branch of science seems almost as boundless and as uni versal as the electric fluid itself. That electricity has done something of late may be admitted now, even though according to all appearances the results of a few more years of progress on the electric science and the discovery of its applicability to a number of uses now only dimly foreshadowed, will soon make our present attainments appear as nothing. But though the merits of each agency are sought on all sides to be carefully developed, and a rivalry of progress is perpetually being insti tuted, yet the greatest achievement of all, a simple plan to combine both powers, has never been suc cessfully attempted until now. With the telegraph electricity has surpassed steam, and there are wise and able men in this metropolis now labouring hard to perfect a grand conception, and by the es tablishment of one strong elcctro-motive power su persede the use of steam machinery for evermore. This is a great idea, but perhaps a perfect and har monious union between electricity and steam is a greater still. The first step in that union, which must yield to mankind and civilisatiox the most important and valuable results, has been made by Mr. Beggs, a gentleman whose name has long held honourable place among our electricians, and who has now divined a plan by which even the electric current may be quickened and the speed of the electrie telegraph stimulated _a-thousandfold. In inventions of this kind there is nothing more difficult than to convey to the general reader a clear and distinct impression of the value of an improvement, to understand every step in the detail of which requires knowledge more or less intimate of the science of electricity as applied to telegraphic purposes. We shall therefore merely state, in the most general manner, the nature of the plan proposed by Mr. Baggs, withou' at all stop ping to inquire into the reason for the effects pro duced. Iu order, however, that our readers may appreciate.the value and nature of the improve ment, it is necessary briefly to state, first, the rou tine by which telegraphic messages are at present conveyed, and the difficulties which hourly occur in their transmission. Electric telegraphs of all kinds are either worked by voltaic or magnetic electricity, the current of which along the wire is alternately transmitted and broken acc )rding as the circuit is completed or interrupted by means of a handle, which is worked by a clerk. This alter nate transmission and release of the voltaic or magnetic current deflects the needle at the other end of the wire either to the right or left or regis ters the message by electro-magnetism according to the nature of the instrument employed. As a matter of course, while a message is being thus slowly transmitted as it were by hand the whole length of the wire is entirely occupied, while, what ever the emergency, nothing can be done towards forwarding the messages which are to follow until the wire is entirely unoccupied and reported free. Where noodle instruments are used messages can ho transmitted with comparative rapidity ; but this advantage is more than counterbalanced by the danger of inaccuracy, and which can only be guarded against by a repetition of all important messages. Such a repeating process naturally causes a certain loss of time, though even with this drawback it is equal in rapidity to the recording telegraph, but never so certain in its operation. Experience of these matters enables the telegraph companies to ascertain to a single word the number of mes sages that can bo transmitted daily with wire in full operation ; and their charges, therefore, are regulated not according to the cost at which each message can be sent, but according to a scale which net onlyrepays the working expenses of each day, but each day's interest on the whole amount of capital embarked by the undertaking. So, then, if any process be discovered by which a message that now occupies an hour in its transmis sion can be sent in five minutes or less, the sender would gain the difference and only pay for the oc cupation of the wire for one-twelfth of the time, and therefore one-twelfth of the amount at present charged. To charge by words is only a more certain method of charging by time, and ofcouree, if any com pany suddenly found itself in a condition to transact one hundred times the amount of business in the same period and at the same cost that it at present incurs, the gain to the public would be an imme diate reduction to nearly one-hundredth of the rate now charged for telegraphi c messages. It is this groat change which Mr. B iggs' invention proposes to w or k th e e l ectr i c telegraph by steam, and so get over th e grea t o b stacle which now exists ' against its more general use —namely, its slowness. It may seem paradoxical to speak of the slowness of the electric telegraph as being the only bar to its more general adoption, but in truth such is the li teral fact, for the time occupied, and therefore ex pense incurred in using the telegraph wire makes a message rather the resort of commercial domestic emergency than a thing of daily use, almost rival ling the post as a means of daily communication. The invention, then, which is to supersede these tedious processes and work the telegraph by steam instead of by hand is generally asfollows :—" A se- ries of gutta percha bands, about six inches wide and a quarter of an inch thick, are coiled on wheels and drums arranged for tlao purpose. These bands are studded down both sides with a single row of holes at short intervals apart. When a message is to be sent, the clerks wind off these band 4, insert ing;in the holes small brass pins, whieb, according to the;r combinations in twos or threes (with blank holes between), represent certain words or letters. In this manner the message is, as it were, " set up" in the bands with great rapidity, and if the number of bands employed is sufficiently large —say as numerous as the compositors em ployed in a large printing office—messages equal in length to five or six columns of this journal could be set up and ready for trans• mission in the course of a single hour. Of course this operation in no respect interferes with the tele graph wire itself, which continues free for use until the bands of messages are actually being dispatched. The gutta percha bands when full are removed to the instrument-room, a most simple appliance pre venting any derangement or falling ant of the pins while being moved about. In the instrument-room the bands are connected with ordinary steam ma chinery, by which they are drawn in regular order with the utmost rapidity between the charged poles of an electrical machine in such a manner that, during the moment of each pin's passing, it forms electrical communication between the instrument and the telegraph, and a signal is transmitted to the other end of the wire, where the spark perfo rates a paper and records the message. The only limit to the rapidity of the operation is the rate at which the bands can be drawn, since the electrical contact of each pin, even for the 20th part of a second, is more than sufficient to transmit a word or signal from London and register it in America. Of course, as the message is recorded, we will say in Ameri ca , w ith th e same rapidity as that in which London, c it le i r s ks tr w a i n l s l m b i e tt r e e d qu in isitein a order number translate nsloaf reading clerks il3g by dividing it into small portions, with almost as much facility as it has been sent. The value and importance of this invention, not only to the public but to telegraph companies them selves, must be evident to the least experienced in such matters ; in fact, without it, long submarine lines would be all but impracticable from the slow ness of the process, and consequently from the ex pense attendant upon transmitting the briefest mes sage. It is now tolerably well known that, bad the attempt to submerge the Atlantic cable been suc cessful last summer, one submarine wire would not at the most have• sufficed for the transmission of more than a small number of messages per diem each way, and that in fact all that it could have trans mitted would not have met 1-20th of the demand from country.either i S w So clearllardywasit thaiss contemplated forese enbafore that even one cable to submergeitra'id atl:Tcootnhdercafobrlem, o es n s e ag fo e r s in to es A sa m ge e s ric t a o . Elfy the new patent for steam telegraphing which we have mentioned, worked with an efficient staff, it would be perfectly easy for one wire to transact all the business between England and America. With proper arrangements an hour would suffice to trans mit intelligence equal in number of words to the contents o 12 columns of the Times. It is no exaggeration, therefore, to say that the most im portant news in each country, with a price-list ex tensive enough to include every staple of trade, might be exchanged in time for the commencement of business in the capitals of the Old and New World. A nother of the great advantages which the invention p ossesses i s the application of static electricity to telegraphic purposes. To obtain in tensity of th e e l ectric fluid without quantity has always be en regarded among electricians as 11 ' great desideratum for the telegraph. In this both voltaic and magnetic currents are wanting, quan tity with them being inseparable from intensity. In long—and, of course, therefore, in submarine— wires quantity in the voltaic current becomes a dangerous obstacle, always creating an induced cur rent in an opposite direction to that in which the message is sent, chargi ogthe wire and generally exer cising that dreaded retarding influence about the real cause for which so many different opinions exist. To overcome these impediments many efforts have been made to apply static electricity to the telegraph, but till now the attempt has always been unsuccessful. Mr. Beggs produces his power with ordinary plate machines, which aro turned of course by the s ame mac hi nery as t h a t w hi c h w i n d s off his gutta percha message bands. The most simple and ordinary plan provides for the poles of the machine being at all times kept equally and properly charged, no matter at what speed the pin bands may be passing between them, and the force of the discharge being sufficient to pierce the paper and re gister the signal at the end of the wire, no electro magnetic cod is necessary at the end of the circuit. It is needless to point out the advantages which this plan possesses on th e score o f econom ic a l pr o d uc ti on of the currenkor its greater certainty ofpassage along a wire whe n (especi a lly i n l o ng submarine cables) it would en counter many sl i g h t d e f ec t s an d attenua tions almost fatal to the progress of a magnetic or voltaic current. In these remarks we have merely pointed out the most prominent features of the new plan, enough to enable those interested in the sub ject to recognise the ease and certainty with which the improvements may he carried out, and the vast importance which must result to the community from their general adoption. In the value of the invention and the results which it promises it is second only to the great discovery of the electric telegraph itself, which can be fully utilised only by this process. The disco - very has only been a short time patented, since which Mr. Beggs has been em , ployed in perfecting by practice the minor details of his plan. A company is about to be formed to ap ply and carry out the invention in a more extensive manner than can be achieved by the efforts of a pri vate individual, however energetic. There is ap parently little doubt, from the value of the plan and the necessity which exists for its adoption, that the company will be as successful as the improve ment it recommends. AMERICAN CA PTAINS AND BRITISH SEAMEN. Another case has occurred at Sunderland of a murderous attack upon British seamen by Ame rican captains and their chief officers, and as they sailed away ere they could be overtaken by British justice, the facts have been sent to Lord Clarendon for submission to the American Minister. The following is a copy of the depositions made by the men and forwarded to Lord Clarendon : "George Telford, of 13, Meling's-rig, Sunder land, North Sea pilot.—On Friday, at 11 a.m., I was engaged by Charles Brookman, the mas ter of the John U. Brookman. barque, of the port of New York, and then lying in the roads, laden with a cargo of coals for New York, to pilot the vessel to the Downs or the Orkney Islands. About 3 p.m. I went on board the vessel :n company with the master. We took a coble and two coblemen. There were also three British seamen, who had I believe agreed to join the vessel, as the crew was short of hands. Captain Brookman told me he was two hands short, even with the three men. The vessel is about 500 tons. There was also a Jew on board, who .had got the three seamen. When we got alongside, the Jew and the three seamen, the captain, and myself, all got on board, leaving the two coblemen in the cable. I put my things into the cabin. The Jew came into the cabin and received, as I thought, 9/. 10s., his charge for getting the men. The Jew went into the coble. One of the three men said that the ship was short-handed, and they did not wish to proceed. This was said to the captain. The captain, without saying a word, knocked the man who had spoken down. He used his fist. He said to the man, D- your eyes, go to your work.' The captain then seized a small axe, when I got hold of the axe and got myself cut slightly. I got i: out of his hand. He then seized a hammer and felled another of the three men down. I went aft and called the coble to the side, as I was determined no;., to go in the ship. When I looked round I saw one of the three men in the water. I called the coblemen to take him in ; they did so. The captain said to me that he would not allow the coble to come alongside to take me in. I nailed them to oome under the stern ; they clirl no, then slid down a rope and got into the ooble. When I last saw the deck of the vessel the other two sea men were lying on the deck wounded and bleeding. I was afraid of my life, and would not go in the ship. e s hip. Tho captain was assisted by three mates in the ill-usage to the two sailors. Two of the mates had each a belaying pin in their hands. I don't know the names of the two seamen ; I never saw any of the three before I saw them in the boat. 44 peter Mitchell—l am 19 years of age. I came up from Aberdeen to this port on the 29th instant. I was on Friday forenoon shipped by a Jew for the John Brookman, at 3/. a month wages. I got 30s. in advance. Another seaman, named Alex. Irving, was shipped at the same time. I did not see the third man shipped. The captain was in the Jew's shop at the time I was shipped. I went on board, as the pilot has already stated. Before we started from the dock the captain told us he would get two other hands in addition to us three. Wh en we got on board Irv i ng went i nto t h e cabin and I at first followed, and then went forward to the house on deck. In a short time I came out, and then I saw the captain knock Irving down. 1 saw the captai n w ith a weapon i n hi s h an d, an d 1 saw him strik e I rv i ng w i t h i t.

Saw the mates knock that man down, and saw one of the mates strike him when down on the face with a ballast shovel. I went round to the other side, and the captain came up to me and was a b ou t t o strike me wi t h a belaying pin. I then j um p e d overboard. lam no swimmer, but I w as a f ra id o f m y l i fe b e i ng t a k en if I remained on board. I was picked up by the men in thimoble. I left all my clothes on board, and the ship sailed with them." THE PURCHASE SYSTEM. (From the Daily News.) "I am not wedded to the purchase system," says the Duke of Cambridge to the Commissioners, "and I am not prepared to say that if I started a system I would start that ; but I have never yet seen any thing proposed which in my opinion would make up for the advantages of that system ; and until I see some plan propounded that will do so, I think it would be a great pity to deviate from the purchase system." "It is not for me," continues the Com mander-in-Chief, "to give an opinion as to what the Commissioners should report, but I am quite prepared to say this, that any change which must be propounded must be a complete one, and not a par tial one." Such is the view taken of the purchase system by the chief of the British Army : Show me a better system, and I will not refuse to adopt it ; but in any case, make no partial changes—don't attempt to mix up the utterly incompatible prin ciples of promotion by purchase and promotion for professional merit, but either keep the system intact or abolish it altogether. Sir Charles Trevelyan, whose plan we now proceed to examine, appears to meet both requirements of the Royal Duke : he sketches a plan which at once provides for the total abolition of the purchase sys tem, and without any increase of expense to the country, secures that rapid current of promotion which constitutes the main advantage that even its most zealous advocates can profess to claim for the purchase system. Let us briefly state the outlines of this elaborate system. Sir Charles proposes that first appointments to the Army shall be conferred partly on the principle of nomination, partly on that of competition. It is contemplated that the Commander-in-Chief shall keep a list of candidates as he does now, and that on the occurrence of a vacancy he shall nominate three from his list, selecting the best of the three for the, commission by.a competitive examination, and- permitting- the rejected mizdidtitei 130 - 46 up :a second but not a third time. This principle of no mination and limited competition has been found to work admirably well in the Civil Service. Sir Charles Trevelyan, than whom no man is better qualified by extensive experience to speak on the subject, thus explains its practical operation : " The efficacy of the plan is much greater than appears at first sight : on the first appearance of it, it looks as if the only sifting was that produced by the examination, but it is not so ; there is also a preliminary self-acting operation, which is even more valuable. When the principle of examination is a fixed one, there is hardly any young man so inferior who does not think he cau cram up to it ; but when you introduce the competitive principle it becomes a race, and as in a race you endeavour to enter a winning horse, so in a competitive ex amination you only put forward young men who are likely to succeed. We find by practical experi ence that the standard of the candidates is elevated by this natural preliminary self-acting process." The first entry into the army having been thus effected, the next stop consists in a course of pro fessional military training. It is proposed that all the young men thus selected for commissions shall be sent, without exception, to a military college for two years in time of peace, for one year in time of war. It is further proposed that they shall be posted in the army according to the way in which they acquit themselves at the college examinations. Having thus fairly entered on their regimental duties as subaltern officers, the plan contemplates hat their promotion while in the junior ranks shat' be regulated two-thirds by Seniority, and one-third by Selection. Before attaining the rank of Captain, an exclusively professional examination (theoretical as well as practical) is to be gone through. It is proposed that this should not be a competitive but a fixed-standard examination, the young men being at the same time encouraged to take up as many extra subjects as possible, or, in Oxford phraseology, " to go up for honours." Up to the rank of Captain the promotion, it is rec , mmended, should be strictly regimental ; above that rank it should, as in the Indian ser vice, go through the entire branch of the army. All promotions above the rank of Captain are to proceed strictly ou the principle of selection, the basis of selection being the recorded results of pe riodical inspections carefully registered at head quarters. Sir Charles Trevelyan recommends that the system of regimental inspection by general offi cers shall, for this purpose, be extended through out the Empire, and he conclusively shows that in order to make such a system of reports a perfectly safe and satisfactory ground of army promotion, nothing more is required than a conscientious and painstaking registration at head-quarters of the re sults arrived at from time to time by the Inspecting Generals. Having thus provided a method (very similar to that so successfully practised in the French service) of selecting the officers most deserving of promo tion, Sir Charles goes on to recommend that the Line should be assimilated to the Guards, Artil lery, Engineers, and Marines, by the abolition of the rank of Major ; that the honorary rank of Colonel of Regiments shoull be discontinued ; and there should in future be only two grades of field officers—full Colonels and Lieutenant-Colonels. If we add to this that all Staff appointments are to be regulated by examinations strictly competitive, and that Exchanges are to be entirely abolished, so as to prevent officers from evading Indian or Colonial servics, we shall have a tolerably clear outline no tion of the Assistant-Secretary's scheme, as far as regards first commissions and subsequent promo tion. A very important part of the plan remains be hind. How it it intended to keep up that rapid current of promotion, the maintenance of which is the great alleged advantage of the Purchase Sys tem ? The answer is, by a scheme of retirement on full pay—Voluntary at certain fixed periods in certain ranks—compulsory at certain other periods more advanced. Field-Marshals, Gene rals, and Lieutenant-Generals are to be exempted from the operation of this rule ; on all lower ranks it is proposed that the respective periods of compulsory and voluntary retirements on full pay should be, for a Major-Geueral, 65 and 60 ; for a Colonel commanding (now Lieutenant- Colonel), 60 and 55 ; for a Lieutenant. Colonel (now Major) 55 and 50 ; for a Captain or Sub altern, 50 and 45. It is calculated, upon data selected with great care and accuracy, that the combined operation of these compulsory and voluntary full-pay retirements, of voluntary retirements before the age entitling to full pay, of selections for Staff and other permanent appoint ments, mid of death vacancies, would keep up the current of promotion in time of peace at quite the same rate as the Purchase system. We have not space to go at any length into the financial details of the plan, and can only state the net results. Sir Charles proposes an augmentation of pay in the junior ranks, and in the rank of Colonels commanding regiments, which involves ' for Regimental officers an annual increase of up wards of 62,0001., and for Staff officers an increase of upwards of 37,000/. Oa the other hand, the establishment of General officers is reduced by more than 66,0001. a-year, and their command pay and allowances about 1,5001. Of the other financial charges, the moat considerable are in the relative proportions of full-pay retirements and half-pay: the former is increased in round numbers by 150,0001., the latter diminished by 167,0001. The net result of the whole calculation is that the new system would cost the country 113,4781. less per annum than the existing system. There remains the question as to compensating officers who may elect to retire, receiving tho price of their commissions. Of course if we are to sup- pose that the whole body of existing o ffi cers, on the abolition of the Purchase System, would give up the service in disgust, and simultaneously demand from the Treasury the price of their commissions, the amount which the country would thus be called on to disburse would be a somewhat formidable one—ordinarily, we believe, computed at about 7,000,090/. sterling. But no one really entertains the absurd belief that anything of this sort is likely to take place. Sir Charles Trevelyan is probably pretty near the mark when he takes the annual number of those officers who retired on sale in the two years preceding the last war, as affording a very approximate measure of the annual number likely to demand compensation in case of the abolition of the Purchase System. That annual number was 322, and the regulation value of their commissions was about 521,0001., the customary value about 733,0001. These are surely not formidable sums to be paid by the richest country in the world for the sake of getting rid of such a preyed abuse as the Purchase System. One thing is quite certain, and that is, that no time could be more favourable than the present for making the change, for "in the majority of the Crimean regiments the larger number of officers have obtained some, if not all their commissions without purchase, whereas every month is now adding to the number of the commis sions sold, and to the amount which officers who have not purchased their commissions are entitled to realise according to their length of service." We have gone through the outlines of Sir Charles Tre velyau'o scheme. Without committing ourselves STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Nov. 6. There is no abatement of the commercial depres sion, and we have still to repoit a flat and exceed ingly inactive market. The prices of cotton g to id. per lb. below the terms of Monday, and cotton yarns and cloth have given way fully as much, without in ducing a renewal of business. From the highest point yarns are reported in some quarters to have receded 14d. to 2d. per lb., but any general state ment of this kind fails to convey a true idea of the position of the seller and the descriptionof payment offered. It is obvious that in such a market irregu larities prevail which render quotations next to im possible.

The ordinary commercial letter, dated Belfast, Wednesday evening, and published in the Derry Standard, supplies the annexed information : " The disposition to exaggerate danger, real or imaginary, has been at work, and iri our neighbour-. hood sar-nueskter - stts tinalsr4seople who fiads aesposits is one - of 'the '',oval banis ' hastened to draw out 'their money. The folly of this ill-judged proceeding has at length been seen and alt is now quiet here. No large amount, however, was called for ; the total paid to depositors did not exceed a few thousands. It should be a source of satisfaction to every Irishman that, amid all the disasters and difficulties of other coun tries, our banks have maintained the highest character, and that very few failures have taken place. 'With two exceptions the trading world of Belfast has escaped the contagion, and it may further be stated that the business of the town and that of the surrounding c )untry has seldom been so sound or so healthy as during the present year. Trade is dull in most of its branches, and small transactions rule commerce. At the Corn-exchange few merchants and still fewer millers can be found to pur chase beyond mere retail quantities of bread-stuffs. Wheat pelts at 10a. to lls. fur red, and lls. to 12s. for white ; Indian corn, 101. 15e, per ton for prime white. Had Cobbett I , ved to see the daywhen the once-despised product of the western prairies would sell in this country at the price of wheat, he would have been exulting over the fulfilment of lea early predictions. So fond are the people of the north of Ireland of this class of grain food that at present retail dealers sell three tons of Indian for one of oatmeal. The linen trade has not improved for the past ton days." Later accounts, contained in the Belfast Mercury of yesterday, thus refer to the effects of the mone tary pressure in the North : "As far as Belfast is concerned our merchants and manufacturers appear up to the present to have been only slightly involved in the effects of the crisis, which is producing such widespread dismay in other localities. Yesterday was settling-day, and we have full assurance for the statement that for the past six mouths there has not been a ' 4th' which passed off more satisfactorily, The 'run' on the banks has ceased in Belfast, and con fidence appears to have been completely restored, even among the the farming classes, who were the principal parties to entertain apprehension. We regret to say, how ever, that a County Down firm connected with our staple trade is announced to have suspended payment. The lia bilities are to the amount of 22,0001., and the assets are said to be likely to turn out amply sufficient, if they could be obtained, for their re ilisation. A small house in Belfast is also reported as having succumbed to the pressure, but it is so trifling, only to the amount of 1,3001,, that it has received very little attention." THE BROADSTONE MURDER. Bernard Gunning, storekeeper at the Midland Great Western Railway, and against whom the most unfounded suspicions were long entertained as being implicated in the hideous tragedy, has had his un merited sufferings compensated by a donation of 100/. from the company. In addition he has been leased at a nominal rent the hotel at the Athenry station. Gunning, his wife, and their servant, the notorious Catherine Campbell, resided, it will be recollected, in the under portion of the building where the cashier's office is situated, and where poor Mr. Little was murdered on the 13th Nov. last.

Wallace Carpenter, Ist battalion. The whole of the volunteers from the Royal Ma rine Light Infantry companies to the Royal Marine Artillery will leave head-quarters, Chatham, this morning for Portsmouth, together with the volun teers from the Woolwich division. The Heron, 12, Commander W. H. Truscott, fitting at Chatham for the coast of Africa, is still in the hands of the shipwrights. The following officers have taken up their commissions :—Lieur. T. P. Colliegwood ; G. W. Heather, Master ; Charles H. Carpenter, Mate ; H. Ussher, Acting Assi s t an t- Surgeon ; and Sir Lambton Loraine, Midshipman. Xeiterday an order was received at Chatham garrison from the War-office directing Colonel H. Jervis, in command of the Ist bat., and Col. R. N. Phillips, commanding the 2d bat., to hold in readi ness the following detachments for India:-23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers, 20 non-commissioned offi c.'rs and men ; 35th Royal Sussex, 18 ; 53d Regt., 19 men ; 61st, 15 men ; 84th, 12 men ; and 90th Light Infantry, 25 men of all ranks. The whole of these reinforcements have been instructed in the use of the Minie rifle, and will embark at Gravesend on board the Geo. Marshall, 1,000 tons, for Calcutta. Recruiting for her Majesty's service and for the East India Company is going on in the Liverpool district in the most prosperous manner. Col. Bell the inspecting field officer, sent to their respective corps last month 1,550 recruits—all fine young men fit fur the service—and a like number may be ex- Noted for-Noiembettr. - Elinnheio:nfyOurt men are being thrown out of enaployneent, - and they are all flocking to the standard. C. O'Brien, private in the 18th Royal Irish Re giment, who escaped on Tuesday morning from the guard-room in Chatham garrison, where he was confined previous to receiving , 50 lashes for various acts of theft, was recaptured before he had Wen many hours at liberty. The sent?nce of the court martial was carried out on Thursday, and O'Brien is now in the hospital, still a prisoner. His escape will form the subject of a second trial. • No orders have been received at Chatham for the removal of the 3d bat., which, in the absence of Lieut.-Col. Sanders, is commanded by Major Darroch. The head-quarters of the Bth (King's Own) Light Dragoons arrived in Dublin. on Thursday from Dundalk. Dublin garrison is at present composed of the Royal Dragoons, the Crop, and the 3d Light Dragoons ; the 2d bat. of Coldstream Guard , , the nth, 30th, and 55th Regiments ; the South down and City of Dublin Ililitia ; one troop of horse artillery, and a field battery. THE PATRIOTIC FUND. In a letter dated Nor. 2 addressed to a Worces tershire newspaper, Sir John Paking-ton vindicates the administration of the Patriotic fund from the attacks of Mr. Acton, a Roman Catholic gentleman, at the recent county meeting. " The acousation is, that the noblemen and gentlemen whom it pleased the Queen to associate with the Prince Consort for the administration of a noble public charity have abused their trust, violated their duty, and disre garded the most obvious dictates of honour ; and that their motive for so acting has been the hope of con verting to Protestantism some few dozen poor Roman Catholic children of soldiers and sailors, who died in the service of their country during the late war with Russia. As this charge has been seriously made, I suppose I must seriously notice it, though I confess it seems to be so extravagant that I find it difficult to treat it with gravity. But the facts are more important than the imputed motive. Mr. Acton refers to the commissioners having paid certain sums to th e W e lli ngton Col lege School, to the Royal Naval School, and to several other similar institutions connected with the army and navy, to enable us to send to them a given number of orphans ; and he then adds, How much has been given to any one Catholic institu tion l Not one shilling.' The answer is that there are no Roman Catholic institutions of this descrip tion. Mr. Acton complains that ' The Sisters of Mercy of St. Clare and other religious commuutes iu Dublin offered their services, at small expense, for the education of female orphans, and yet their services were refused.' Their services were not re fused ; Mr. Acton has baten altogether misinformed upon this point. Mr. Acton states that 700 chil dren are under instruction, supported by the fund, and then asks, If those children are Protestants, where are the Catholics 1' These words suggest an inference, and are therefore not so easy to deal with distinctly as specific allegations. I suppose Mr. Acton to allude to the fact that there aro about 700 children in Protestant asylums, and only 25 Roman CAtholic asylums. The answer is, that the number of children in asylums depends very much upon the mothers, with whom has been left the right to choose ; indeed, there is no power vested in the Commissioners to deprive them of that right. There are few children from Ireland in asylums, for two reasons ; first, food is cheap, and the mothers prefer keeping their children at home and receiving the allowance. This operates equally in Scotland, where there are only 20 in asylums ; and we find the same inclination in England when the mothers have the means of supporting their children ; second, there are very few children above the age of seven in Ireland or in Scotland, or in deed among the line regiments generally. There only remains Mr. Acton's complaint that the ad mission of three boys to one of the Roman Catholic establishments was delayed by twelve months' cor respondence, and all sorts of frivolous objections.' The explanation is that we have always thought it our duty to reserve the right of inspecting schools to which we send children. This was acceded to by the principal of that establishment, but he hsttateesde that the school was about to p ass i n t o other hands ) c a i n r d cu l m ie st c a o n u c l e d s n w ot e answerfo r e U n t t l i i l , wo obtain e d an e in. U nder agreement to these conditions from_ the . lay b ro th ers who have sinc e t a k en charge of the school. It rests with the mothers to direct what the religious teaching of their children shall be. I trust I have said enough to show that the suspicions entertained by the Roman Catholic body do not rest upon any reasonable foundation. In dealing with so large a number of applicants accidental errors may have occurred ; if so, let them be corrected, but of in tentional unfairness there has bean none, and I übmit that it is now incumbent upon Archbishop Cullen and others who have brought forward these opprobrious charges either to substantiate them or to retract them." presentswa h e held some on the liabilities MESSRS.

The following is the best account which has yet baen published of the important battle of Nujuff ghur _ _ " One of the most brilliant actions in the present campaign took place, on the 25th inst. (September) at Nujuffghur, about 20 miles from the Camp at Delhi, of which I propose to give you a brief ac count. Information was received in camp that a force of the enemy, to the number of 7,000 of all arms, with 18 guns, had marched from Delhi, with a view of crossing the Nujuffghur Jheel Drain, in order to operate on ourrear and cut off our supplies. A moveable column, under the command of Briga dier-General Nicholson, was ordered to march on the 25th inst., at 4 a.m., to Nujuffghur, to check such a movement. This column consisted of asqual ron of Lancers, under Capt. Sarel ; the Guide Ca 'fairy, under Capt. Sandford ; her Majesty's 61st, under Col. Ronny ; Ist European Fusilieers, under Major Jacob ; Coke's Rifles, Green's 2d Punjab In fantry ; Major Tomb's troop of Horse Artillery, and that commanded by Major Olpherts ; the Mool tan Horse, and a party of Sappers and Miners un der an Engineer officer, for the purpose of blowing up the bridge at Nujuffghur, making a total of about 1,000 Europeans and 2,000 native troops. Oa arriving at a village some nice or tea miles from camp a halt was made for the purpose of recon noitring the road and gaining information of the enemy's movements and position. A cavalry picket was discovered some distance ahead which tried to intercept our reconnoitring party, but did not succeed. From the reports of the villages we heard that the enemy had crossed the bridge and were encamped or were preparing to encamp at Nujuffghur. The march was imme diately resumed, and after a further ten-mile march (in the course of which we had to cross an exten sive sheet of water about three feet deep) arrived at Nujuffghur at half-past 5 p.m. Here we found a sharp fire of musketry and light guns directed on the advanced column which was halted there, Bri gadier-General Nicholson then gave the order to the Ist Europeans and 61st Foot to form line, and addressed a short speech to them, pointing out how in the Crimea the gallant 93d and other regiments achieved such brilliant successes by the careful re serve of their fire until close to the enemy, and exhorting the men in the present inst Ince to emu late that example. A troop of Horse Artillery formed on either flank of this line and galloped forward and opened fire on a serai which the enemy had occupied in force, with fou r guns i n p os iti on . At the same time the word was given lino will ad vance,' and with fixed bayonets the whole steppnl off as steadily as if on parade, straight on the serai. When within a short distance the charge was made, and with a British cheer they rushed forward and captured the building with its four guns, doing great execution among the defenders. The enemy beaten from hero retreated towards the bridge, several other guns being taken en route. They again attempted to make a stand at the bridge, but were speedily broken by a well-directed fire of artillery, and four more guns were taken hen!. A company of the Ist European Fusiliers were now sent to hold the bridge as a covering party, while preparat'ons were being made for blowing it up. The enemy had managed to carry off two or three mine from which they opened a well directed fire on the bridge of round shot and grape, one of the former blowing up an ammunition waggon which had been abandoned by the enemy, severely in juring several men of the Ist ; two were also killed by round shot. They, however, managed to hold the bridge in spite of this very heavy fire, nor did it deter the engineer officer, Capt. Geneste, from laying his charges for destroying the bridge. Several times the enemy tried to recapture the bridge, but the Europeans, now increased to three companies, managed Uniformly to repulse them. Unfortunately (through somemistake, I suppose), the grog for the menhad not arrived, nor commis sariat rations, and it was wonderful how they bore up against the privations of a long march, some hard fighting, and no food. A little grumbling was occasionally heard, but good humour and cheerful ness was the order of the day. About 2 o'clock at night the charges were laid and everything ready; accordingly the covering party was withdrawn to camp, and some minutes afterwards the explosion took place. On visiting the bridge next morning it had completely disappeared, leaving, literally, 'not a wreck behind.' This will, I believe, effectually prevent Pandy again attempting to harass us in the rear. All the baggage being behind, the men had to sleep on the damp ground during the night, at least such as could sleep at all, many being em ployed in dragging in the captured guns; very large stores of ammunition, (4.74., were destroyed, 10 or 12 waggons being blown up, no carriage being avail able. Some of the regiments were fortunate enough to find som e b ags o f rupees, one man I heard of having managed to get 900 rupees. Coke's Rifles and the 61st Foot suffered much, I am sorry to say, in an attack on a village, the commanding officer of the former, Capt. Lumsden, being killed, and two officers, Lieuts. Gabbett and Elkington, of toe lat ter. We marched homewards next morning at 4.30, reaching the half-way house at about 12, where we waited for two hours, and then to camp, where we arrived very tired, but in high spirits at our suc cess, at 6 o'clock. Our loss was estimated altoge ther at about 120 killed and wounded. Thirteen guns were captured, and great loss inflicted on the enemy."
