Ballo, i gentleman residing at Wortham, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842. on returning from liarlestone Market to Weybred, where he then re sided, sustained so seve r u r a lall from his horse. as to bring on an M aus of several months' ion, during whieh period his hair con einued to come off, till he became, to use his own terms, " as perfectly bald as if his head had been shaved ;" and the Rev. J. E. Daniel* then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for MS lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the street of tin `D' MAC:ASSAM OIL, and it is highly gratifYing to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was __Used the growth recommenced, and he has now to boast of a err thick and luxuriant head of hair, which resents this rity. tat, th ough prior to l os i ng his hair it evi n ced no tende n cy to c eculia url, Ll:ita new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly :11**self to require obserration.—Bell's Messenger.

SECOND DAY OF SALE, THE SEPARATE SYSTEM. 1 At the Dorset Quarter Sessions, on Tuesday, the Marquis of Westminster again introduced to the Court his opinions upon the subject of prison dis .ipline and separate confinement. The topic had •ccupied the attention of the Court upon three former occasions, and has as many times been noticed in our columns. On this occasion the Noble Marqdis ob- Served, that the subject still weighed upon his mind, and the more strongly, because he felt, when com mitting a prisoner to the gaol of Dorchester he was committing an irreparable injury. He had a perfect recollectio n o f one case of this kind, where the man left the gaol much worse than when he was sent there, and his re -commitment became necessary. The question was whether or no the separate system was the only means that had been found effectual in reforming offenders, and he submitted that it was. In proof of this, the Noble Marquis adduced the re port of the chaplain of the Preston House of Correc tion, the opinion of the Governor of the Glasgow House of Correction, the experience of the Model Prison at Pent,onville, attested, as it was, by Lord Chichester, the Speaker of the House of Commons, Sir B. Brodie, Major Jebb, and others ; the sentiments expressed at a meeting at Frankfort last year of benevolent and distinguished men from England, France, Russia, Germany, Swit zerland, Italy, Sp a i n , Belgium, Sweden, Holland, America, and other nations; and at which meeting reportsate and solitary unanimous resol u ti on in 4:fiwort-1 the of d f sep arate solitary confineme n t _was-free° O the inspectors of the Western Penitentiary, at Penn - iylvania, the testimony of Judge Parsons when charging a grand jury in Philadelphia, and the .pinions of Lord john John Russell in 1837, and of Sir G. Grey during his present term of office;—all which were expressive of the good effect, under pro per management, of the system for which he con rended. This system had already been carried out in wenty-eight prisons, with three of which he was connected, and he wished to add Dorset to the num ber. He knew that in rural districts there was a great objection to laying out money, but he wished them to look at this question more as tradesmen than farmers, calculating upon the ultimate return rather than upon the present advantage. He concluded a long address by leaving the subje c t in the hands of the Court, expressing himself, however, un willing to relinquish a question which he considered of vast consequence to the moral state not only of thot county, but of the nation at large. Mr. G. BANKES, M.P., the chairman, after thank ing the Noble Lord for the able and comprehensive manner in which he had stated his case, observed that it was very true that the court was cautions in laying out large sums of money ; the magistrates felt that the money which they expended was not their own, but was contributed by parties who were less able to contribute it than they themselves were. It was evident the Government had some comprehensive scheme in contemplation, and, although he would not then venture to pass any decidedly strong opinion upon it, still he must say that he concurred in the observations of Lord Denman, that the proposition for abolishing transportation was an " appalling" one. At present it would be most imprudent to lay out their money in altering our ]gaols, still he hoped the Noble Marquis would not relinquish the subject, but bring it forward, if necessary, upon some future and more convenient occasion.

The Deed of Settlement of this Company having been approved by the Registrar, and t h e number of Shares prescribed by the Act having bee., subscribed for, the Directors will proceed upon the Ist of May next, ensuing, to issue Sea Policies under their Common Seal. For the effectual protection of both shareholders and the assured, the constitution of this Com any is based on the principle of limit ing the amount entertained in and upon individual vessels, or their cargoes, in rateable proportion to the capital subscribed, and remain ing clear in hand according to a graduated scale, constructed with the greatest care, thereby securing a wide and equalised distribution of outstatiaing risks, to the enti ,- e exclusion of gambling p_ fits, and ruinous losses, from both sides of the account. Under special clauses inserted in the Deed, no single Insurance. for the space of twelve months, from the date of issuing the first Policy, will exceed 5001. For the space of three years from the same date the limit has been fixed at 1,0001.; and for the space of seven years at 1,5001.,—a method of proceeding obviously calculated to ensure a steady and remunerative business, and avoid the disastrous results incidental to an opposite system.

MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY.—MANCHESTER, MoriDAv.—This morning a special meeting of the shareholders of this company was held in the Corn Exchange of this town, for the purpose of obtaining the sanction of the proprietors to the several Bills now before Parliament for the construction of short branches, and also for their amalgamation with the Canal Company, &c. Thomas Gisborne, Esq., M.P., presided. After the advertisement calling the meeting had been read by Mr. Stevenson, the law clerk, the chairman stated that the whole of the bills which were that day to be submitted to them had already undergone considera ble discussion, and that the directors were unanimous as to the importance of each of the separate schemes. The object of the meeting was, therefore, merely to legalise the contracts and the applications to Parliament. The whole of the Bills were then read over, and in each case a resolution, authorising the directors to prosecute them with vigour, was unanimously adopted; after which a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the meeting separated.

MYSTERIOUS CARHOP DROWNING.—OR Monday an inquest was held, by adjournment, at the Queen's Head, High-street, Poplar, before Mr. W. Baker, respecting the death of Deedrich Kendrap, who was found floating in the Blackwall Basin of the West India Docks. It aprared that the deceased was a native of Bremen, in Germany, and had lately arrived in London, on a plea sure excursion. He took lodgings at the Castle public house, in Whitechapel, where he remained until Tues thy morning last, when he left the house, and at twelve o'clock the same morning his body was discovered float ing in the Blackwall Basin, quite dead. He was searched by one of the dock constables, who found on him a small book, in which was written his name and address, and a watch guard, but the watch was missing. The constable said it was very unusual for bodies to float when they had only been in the water such a short time. The deceased soon after his arrival in London was knocked down in the streets, and robbed of 131. Since that period he had been principally supported by the landlord of the Castle, and the master of the brig Dorothea. In the absence of any conclusive evidence, the jury returned a verdict of "Found drowned." CIVILISATION IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY.— seems strange that in the middle of the nineteenth century—in the capital of the civilised world—in a country distinguished for its respect for public decency slot' of Christian principles, an y necess ity should ex i st —for high moral feeling, an d, a b ove a ll, f or it s profes sion an appeal on the question which we are about to dis cuss. Yet such is the fact. Scarcely a day passes with out our witnessing the most revolting violations of the sanctuaries of the dead, whilst the hundreds of burying places of this huge metropolis, permitted to exist in the midst of its living population, are so many centres of infection, laboratories of malaria., whence issue most offensive and deadly compounds, the gaseous products of human putrefaction, the food, if not the principles, of malignant disease and premature death. If I establish, as I believe I shall, these propositions, we are bound by a double motive to use every exertion for the removal of this dark stain—this foul blot, from our national cha racter. As Christians, we aro called upon to crush, and that for ever, a system that necessarily entails end im poses the daily execution of deeds, from the perpetration of which barbarians would recoil with abhorrence. As men, as members of a civilised community, it is our duty to remove constantly increa s i ng causes of dis burying- pl aces, comfort, disease, and frequently incon ce i vable suffering, e n g po in ve o r r t e y, es a p nd whoseecially among our poorer brethren, whose avocations t oo f requently x compel their residence in localities wh ere the evil is h r e e r e, mostin a numerous n'rd,theand most danger ously overcharged.—From Mr. G.

THE LATE FIRE AT GUILDHALL. ---- On Saturday an inquiry was instituted by Mr. Burn, th e chairman of the city lands committee ; Mr. Saunders, the city comptroller ; and Mr. Bunning, th : --e city surveyor ; a , sisted by Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent of the Loedon fire brigade, as to the origin of the fire at Guild hall. Mr. Wood, the superintendent of the Guildhall watch, Stewart, the chief officer, and several other wit nesses were examined, and from their evidence it ap peared that the fire was discovered by Wood and Stewart on going their rounds, and the latter, who had been in the fire brigate, speedily got the hall engines into play. The fire existed in the coal vault , under the lobby lead ing from the courts of law to the hall, and under the library. From some cause the brigade engines did not arrive for nearly half an hour, when one only was brought into use, as the watchmen and others, under time direction of Stewart, had brought the hall engine to play upon the fire through a trap-doer in the lobby, being unable to go down from the density of the smoke. It is a matter of doubt whether the fire originated from spontaneous combos,' • on or the coals and faggot wood, or from the overheating of hot air i P-Pos, but no person was known to have gone below after seven o'clock on the previous morning, and great precaution is taken to pre vent all persons from passing, that way after the watch is set. lied is not been for the timely discovery, im mense loss would in all probability have resulted, as the wooden flooring of the lobby forms the ceiling, of the vault, and the library, courts of law, and probably the comptroller's department would have fallen a sacrifice to the flames, and invaluable books and documents been destie,yecl. The conclusion which the committee of in quiry came to was not made known, but will be re ported 0, the city lands committee at a special meeting. ELECTION MOVEMENTS.—Viscount Cantalupe has issued an address to the electors of the Eastern division of Sussex, off.- ring himself as a candidate at the ensuing election. lie holds himself unpledged ; is an advocate for religious toleration ; and is prepared to advocate the repeal of the malt-tax. MISS BURDETT COUTTS'S NEW CHURCH.--The ar rangements for proceeding with the erection of Miss Burdett Coutts's new church, in Rochester row, West minster, to which an ecclesiastical district has already been assigned, having now been completed, the founda tion stone will be laid in the course of a few days with the customary solemnities. It is expected that the cere mony will be performed by Miss Coutts in person, assisted by the Bishop of London and the Dean and Chapter of Westminster. The site has been gratuitously made over by the Dean and Chapter. Until the com pletion of the church divine service is to be performed in the temporary building which has been for some time opened,, under the ministry of the Rev. W. Tennant, M.A., incumbent of the new district. THE ARRANGEMENTS FOR COMFORT, SAFETY, HEARING, &C. IN THE NEW OPERA HOUSE..—Thu means of properly heating and ventilating the house appear to have received due attention. Ilot-air stoves arc fitted up under the pit stalls, with flues to conduct the warmed air over the house ; and every gas lamp in the corridors has a ventilating. pipe above it. On them, and some other points, however, we reserve our opinion, not venturing to form one hastily. For the extin guishing of fire, should it occur, mains, supplied from cisterns in the upper part of the house, are provided, with cocks and hose on each tier. As to the general safety of the building, notwithstanding the rapidity with which the works have been carried on, they have been done in the soundest and most substantial manner, and so as to entitle Mr. Albano, the architect, and all con cerned in them, to great praise. As regards the con veyance of sound, we are disposed to consider the new opera- house singularly successful. During the perform ance we visited every part of the house, and found in every place that the lowest sound from the stage was distinctly audible.—The Builder.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT IN THE BELVEDERE-ROAD. —On Monday afternoon, between four and live, an acci dent of a most deplorable character, and which it is ex pt'cted will be attended with fatal consequences, occurred in the Belvedere-road to a young man, about twenty, named Joseph Cox, who was engaged for the Wood C ,rving Company, in the above road, where some work shops are being constructed. The unfortunate man had ascended a ladder to a height of upwards of forty feet, when suddenly losing his hold he fell to the bottom, and was nicked up and conveyed to the Charing -cross Hos pital in a frightfully mutilated state. Mr. Steghall, the house• surgeon, said that he had received, besides a broken kg, a severe fracture of the skull and other injaries, that rendered his recovery almost hopeless. He remains in a dreadful state of suffering at the above institution. The Right Hon. T. Milner Gibson has returned to town. • kc,k • • Gur • at 4 1 11111 ‘ -- 1 .

A young man of very respectable appearance, named Horatio Nelson West, was brought before the Lord Mayor, in the custody of Daniel Forrester, the officer, charged with having been concerned in forging a great number of documents, purporting to be shares in the London and South-Western Railway Company. Another person, whose name, as the evidence did not involve him criminally in the transaction, we shall not publish, was put to the bar at the same time, upon sus picion of having been concerned in the offence. Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, appeared for the prose cution, and Mr. Humphreys attended for the prisoner West. The second prisoner, who seemed to be quite astonished at his situation, was undefended. The Learned Counsel for the prosecution briefly stated the case, which, he said, was brought forward at the instance of the directors of the company. Applica tions had been made to the proprietors of the new Money market, by letter addressed from Portland place, to sell a number of shares, and it was strange enough that these shares were found to be forged upon the detection of another offence committed by the per petrator, who received in payment of a cheque 401. more than he was entitled to, and appropriated that sum to his own purposes. Mr. James W. Stephens, partner with Mr. Luke James Hansard, said, on the Bth of March, about three or four &deck in the afternoon, I received a letter by the hands of a messenger, a person of shabby appear ance, enclosing fifty shares in the London and South- Western Railway Company, and purporting to come from a gentleman. named Craven, of Portland-place. In consequence of the directions contained in that letter, I got the shares verified the following morning at the office of the company, and they were disposed of to Dr. Henry Clark, of Southampton. Observing there was no number mentioned in the letter, I asked the mana ger what number it was in Portland-place, and he, with out any hesitation, said No. 11. On the 9th of March the same messenger brought the letter I produce, pur porting to be from the same gentleman, and requesting to know whether the fifty shares had been sold, and I sent him back an answer, stating that the sale had taken place according to the instructions. Just as I was going to post the letter advising him of the sale, the same messenger came and handed me another letter, request ing the amount of the proceeds. I wrote an answer to him, stating to him that we had not as yet received the proceeds of the sale, but that as soon as we received the money, we would forward it to him. On the following morning we received another letter, stating that Mr. Craven expected, when he sent to us, that wo were agents in cash transactions alone, and requesting that a cheque for the amount should be at once transmitted to him. As I received intimation that I might have the amount that day, I determined to call myself at Portland place, and leave the cheque for Mr. Craven ; and just as I was going out of my office for that purpose, I met the messenger at the door, put a cheque for 2591. 7s. 6d. into an envelope, sealed it, directed it, and gave it to the man to convey to his master. On the following day the clerk of the banking-house at which the cheque was paid called and said he had overpaid the cheque 401. In consequence of this communication I was induced to send for the prisoner West, who called twice at my office, but I happened to be out. In about a week, how ever, I saw him, and I asked him from whom he had btsitli-d four 101. Bank of England notes which I named to him, and I to!d him our bank,rs had paid that amount :oo much, and that the notes had been traced to his pos session. He said that the second prisoner who stands next to him at the bar, and one Mr. Wilson, whom he did not know, came to his office to transact railway business, and that one or other of them gave him the notes, as the second prisoner owed him some money in another transaction. I pressed him to say which of them had given him the notes, and ho said the second prisoner. West gave back the 401. I said to him, " Why do you trouble yourself about it, and why don't you make the second prisoner pay you what you have given up?" Ile said that Mr. Wilson is one of the Hall of Commerce chaps, and I know nothing about him, and I don't like his appearance, or something of that kind. I asked him if he had any objection to walk with me. He said he was perfectly willing. I wished West to identify Wil son, and he walked with me to the Royal Exchange. I told him we had sent the shares to the company, and found they were genuine, and, therefore, we had nothing more to do with it. Daniel Forrester, the officer, stated that in conse quence of the information which he bad received about the overpaid 401., he took some steps in the case, and he received information from Birmingham which in duced him to look after West. He found that there had been an exchange of money at the Bank, part of which was of the sum drawn from the banking-house of the last witness, for gold. West said he had received the forty pounds of the second prisoner and a man named Wilson and the second prisoner, came into West's office at the time, and said he did hand some money to West, and that he and Wilson had had some money transac tions, and he -had received change from Wilson, and gave to West, to whom he owed it. In the course of conver cation with West, witness was told by him that he had been at Ely, but that he had not been at Birmingham for two years and a half. Witness said to him, " Mr. West, you have been at the post-office in Moorgate street for letters in the name of Perry," and he denied it. He said he had been there, but he had bought a, knife and a ring there. The man from the post-office al Birmingham identified him as the person who had called for letters in the name of Perry. Mr. Clarkson said to the second prisoner, who seemed disposed to speak, "As you have no legal ad viser, I would advise you not to speculate upon ques tioning this witness." The second prisoner—l don't want to speculate upon anything. lam innocent of any offence. Mary Ann Dingley, of 124, Moor-street, Birmingham, said—l know West by the name of Perry, and be came and lodged in my house frora the 18th of March, with the exception of one tingle night, the 26th, to the 2d of April. Mr. Clarkson then said he should call a gentleman to give direct evidence as to the forged shares. Mr. John Brown, in partnership with Mr. Thomas Price, sharebrokers, said—l received a letter from a person of the name of Perry requesting us to sell some shores, and we sold them, and on the 22d of March we remitted to J. Perry, 124, Moor-street, Birmingham, bank notes to the amount of 1401„ one No. 94,538, of 1001. is one of the notes. The shares produced, Nos. 1,411 to 1,415, are parts of those which we sold for Mr. Perry. M. Alfred Morgan, treasurer to :the London and South-Western Railway Company, looked at the shares prcduced by the last witness, and stated that they were forgeries. The five shares puiport to be SOL shares. A great number of forgeries had been detected, to the amount (as we understood the witness) of 2,5001. Mr. Charles Morgan, solicitor to the company, said he had reason to believe that he should soon have very im portant witnesses to produce to show the ramifications of the system of fraud. The second prisoner said, whatever fraud might be proved, he had nothing to do with it. He begged to be allowed to put in bail. He did not care about the amount. He had certainly been unfortunate enough to engage in shares, to have many dealings in them, but of dishonest dealing ho solemnly protested he knew no thing. If he had been imposed upon he could not help it. He had a houseful of children, and ho begged he should not be kept from them. He did not want to skulk. Mr. Humphreys did not object to a remand in the case of his client West. The LORD MAYOR said that he should remand West 111 next week, but that probably he should take bail in case of the second pri. - ionor at a very short notice. COW .ONER'S .NQUEST.—On Monday Mr. Jose') feyne, deputy coroner, held an inquest at the Blue Last, Broadway, Ludgate hill, on the body of Elizabeth Max well, aged 44, who was burned to death at her residence, No 5, Broadway. Barbara hill, of 6, SAtr-street, Edge ware-road, said that the deceased was her sister. About half -past six o'clock on Saturday night she sent witness to Coger's Hall, Bride-lane, to see if her husband was there. She returned in about a qulrter of an hour, and on entering the room found the deceased lying in front of the grate, and on going to feel for her head, the flesh came off in her hand. She was most dreadfully burned over the head, face, and neck. When she went out deceased appeared very weak and odd in her manner, as if she had been drinking. In answer to the Coroner, witness stated that deceased was in the habit of eating very little, but drinking a great deal. She could not tell how the oc currence too k p l ace .

The process is, to grind the cake into flour, then to put water on it, and to stir it about vio lently. The water, which is charged with the bitter parts of the substance, is thrown away after the flour has subsided, and the flour is then kneaded and baked like ordinary bread. The new bread has been employed in the houses of rich and poor at Vienna, and the Arch duke Stephen has ordered a large qu entity to be sent to the mountaineers of Bohemia.—Galignani. A fire broke out on the 4th instant in the railway terminus at Munich, and in a short time consumed the wooden sheds erected round the carriage yard.

AN Additional and Important Evidence of the Salutary Effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, from Mr. Samuel Dixon, of King sc liff e , Nort h amptonshire. " Klngsel ffe, Northamptonshire, March 14, 1846. " To Mr. Thomas Front, 229, Strand, London. "Sir,—l feel it a duty which I owe to yourself and the public to dorm you of the great benefit which I have derived by taking Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. During several years I was fre quently laid up by attacks of gout, being usable to attend to business for months at a time. I had often been advised to try Wales Pills, but it was not until a friend pressed them upon me that I was in duced to take them. and from which I found speedy relief. This .a several years ago, but I continue to take them whenever an attack comes on, and am thereby enabled quickly to resume my business. • I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " SAMUEL DIXON." The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheu matism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and certain relief. Among the many discoveries that characterise the present age, none have en itributed so much to the comfort and ease of the com munity, nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the important discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC I'ILLS, the efficacy of which has been tested by the approval and recommen dation of many of the greatest men of our day. They are effective for gout and rheumatism in all its various forms, including sciatica, lumbago, pains in the head and face, frequently treated as tooth ache, Sec. They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other vital part.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Raving read in your journal of the 10th inst. a reprint of a letter addressed to the Editor of the Times journal, signed " Audi Alteram Panetta" in relation to the recall of Sir Eerdley Wilmot from the government of Van Diemen's Land, accompanied by your own edito rial observations upon the measures adopted towards that gentleman (as worthy of admiration as they were cha racteristic of that independent spirit which has ever distinguished your valuable print), I am induced to bring under your notice another case connected with the same colony, involving, I will venture to say, circumstances no h as grievous in their features, and no less calculated to produce ruinous consequences to the individual prin cipally concerned than those which have already evoked the well-earned mead of your condemnation. I al!ude to the case of Mr. Sydne g y Steph en , l ate a practising barrister in 'Van Dieme n s Land, where he itad, fcr many years prior to 1842, enjoyed an unsullied reputation, and an almost unexampled professional succesF. In the above-mendefted year, Mr. Stephen was called upon by the Judges of the Supreme Court of that colony to answer to a charge of having acte d i n some specified case at Nisi Prins in the twofold capacity of coun'el and attorney. There was something in this accusation calculated to produce ill-natured ex. citement, the facility of stimulating which is pro verbial in all small communities, and criminatory affidavits were readily supplied, for the purpose of heaping condemnation upo n this gentleman. A judicial that investigationeph nfound h succeeded,imself deprived o the result w t leges, and emolum en t s o f th e co l on i a l b ar , f or w hi c h h e had many years b e f ore res i gne d t h ose o f a p rac ti s i ng barrister in England ; d e p r i ve d b y a sen t ence o f di sm i ssa l itich was, honours, th privi leges, )firs Stephen pronounced by the two judges who composed the Su preme Court, and pronounced, so far as relates to Mr. Justice Montagu, in language so redundant of invective, as to call for the severe reprehension of my Lord Brougham in pronouncin g the judgm en t o f th e J u di c i a l Committee of th e Privy Council in reversal of the sen tence, declaring that there was no colour whatsoever for the charges so preferred against Mr. Stephen, and stating that that gentl eman ' s character,. professional or otherwise, stood unimpeachcd by that unjust decision. By the Act of the Imperial Legislature„ 9th of-000. -- IV., cap. 83,:the lawa - 0£ this colony 'were declared and regulated, the 24th section thereof enacting, " That all laws and statutes in force within the realm of England It the time of the passing of that Act not being incon sistent therewith, or with any charter or letters patent, or Order of Council, which might be issued in pursu ance thereof, should be applied in the administration of justice in the courts of New South Wales and Van Die men's Land respectively, so far as the same could be applied within the said colonies. Pity it were that the Imperial Legislature did not at the same time declare and enact that all the rules and regulations which moral obligation and common decency suggests and enforces in this country should be maintained and observed at its antipodes. Had such been the case, the colonists of Van Diemen's Land would still have reaped the benefit of Mr. Stephens's unexcelled judgment, ability, and great practical experience, that gentleman and his family would still be in the enjoyment of that ample and honourable independence which was the just reward of his merits and high legal attainments. and of which, by the recent decision of her Majesty in Privy Council, it now lies beyond the reach of controversy to deny that he has been illegally an d unj u stly dep r i ve d. I n thi s country the duties as we ll as th e p r ivil eges o f th ose t o w h om the public c on fid e t h e con d uc t an d management o f t h e i r legal affairs are s e p ara t e d an d di s ti nc tly d e fi ne d. Not so in the colony of whi c h l am now s p ea ki ng. There the practiti oner i s p erm itt e d t o exerc i se con j o i ntly the accumulated functions of barrister, solicitor, proctor, attorney, &c., &c. Here no solicitor or attorney ever thinks of usurping the peculiar province of the advocate, there the profes sions are, as it were, thrown into what the lawyers term " hotchpot." Is it not, therefore, an irresistible con elusion that Mr. Stephen has become a victim to "the , :elusion, the mockery, and the snare" of this disgraceful system? And will it not be readily conceded that, esen supposing he had been guilty, though pronounced to oave been innocent by the unanimous judgment of the Privy Council, that the system and not the man would have been chiefly answerable for the consequence, nay, rather I would as k, wou ld i t not be matter of surprise that any class of men surrounded by the seductions of so vile a sy s t em s h ou ld have maintained the fortitude to tto resist conta m i nat i on ? So n off fn rforth s t as e pen has the been professional assailedcl b r a ct; the andrjudgment r e puta - so pro nounce d against it.lie has at length, by in .tomitable spirit, energy, and perseverance, rescued it from the daunting influence of this colonial adjudication, bat whence is he to seek a sufficient reparation for all his mental sufferings and anxiety—for that enormous sacrifice endured (at least to a certain extent) for a period of nearly five years of that untainted reputation which is the one thing needful in the estimation of every hunourably-minded man? Where is he to seek repara tion for that pecuniary sacrifice which compelled him and his family to abandon the home of their adoption, with all its surrounding comforts and affluence, in pursuit of the restoration of that peace of mind, that spotless reputa tion, and that well-earned wealth, through the dangerous and troubled ocean of expensive and protracted liti gation? The relative positions of Mr. Stephen and Sir Eardley Wilmot are strictly parallel. The former con fidently submitted all his hopes as to the restoration of his character to the judgment of the only tribunal com petent to pronounce its re-establishment ; so likewise did the latter, so far as lay within his own power, and in each case the parallel has still been maintained, and the principal objects of each have already been triumphantly achieved. bir Eardley Wilmot had no means of sub mitting the accusations preferred against him in his official capacity through the medium of the Colonial Se cretary's public dispatch, to the consideration of an appel late jurisdiction ; to this extent the breath of the Colonial Minister was omnipotent, but so far as his moral cha racter was assailed by the private letter of the same functionary, he promptly and voluntarily submitted it to the protection of the most competent authority, viz. , to that of a trib una l c h osen and selected by the Executive Council of the colony as well as to the scrutinising ordeal of public opini on , an d f rom each has he received as confirmation of his most sanguine wishes and expecta tions, testified as it has been, by the voluntary signature of all the good and the virtuous of that community to an address which expresses the high sense which they have at all times felt, and still continued to feel, for his moral character, but still more powerfully testified by the continuance of that friendly intercourse which had never for one moment been suspended or disturbed. Sir Eardley Wilmot, in his private capacity, still continues to reside amongst that community whose esteem and friendship he has so justly earned, awaiting the an nouncement of that retribution which he appears so amply entitled to expect will be accorded to him by the present successor of that moral mirror in which the Co lonial Secretaries for ages yet unborn must henceforth , lelight to view themselves. He awaits the result in con fident reliance on the irresistible strength of a just cause <lnd the healing influence of that glorious maxim - Audi alteram partem."—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, A Colonist and an Impartial OBSERVER. -- EDUCATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. In the United States an expenditure is incurred to educate such portions of the people as stand in need of it, which by far exceeds anything of the kind in Europe. The amount of the " school" fund in Connecticut (as we find it stated in the American Almanack, for 1847), is 2,070,055 dollars, or about 500,0004 a year. In Ke o n , t o u o c o lci a th y e ea school-fund The is 1,221,819 dollars, or 'h about 25e State of New York devotes to the school-fund th e enormous sum of 6,374,144 dollars, or a b ou t n m illi on and a half pounds sterling. Similar funds are raised in nearly all the States, but in none so liberally as in New York. The new States, such as Texas, Illinois, &c., and some of the slave States, are most behind. In the new States the populletion is probably too scattered for public schools ; in the slave States, the whit es are e d ucated in schools which they support independently of the State itmds. Besides the State schools, there arc in different places of the Union 108 colleges, the students being of various ligions. Others are supported entirely 133 CaWiolics, Baptists, Presbyterians, &c. The expense of a student at Bowdom is,—for i'aistrue tion, 24 dollars; room, rent, and other expen f ales, 22 dollars; board for thirty-nine weeks, 58 dollars.; wood, lights, and washing, 35 dollars; total, 139 dollars, or about 354 a-year.

The number of churches belonging to the Methodists is not given; bat of the various kinds of Methodists there are upwards of 13,000 ministers, and about 1,200,000 communicants; and as all the sects pay State taxes, they each of them contribute to what has been called supporting a " lie;" but, in America, they have not yet arrived at that point of perfection when any man may set himself up as infallible, and they are willing, in Christian love, to lend e helping hand each to its neigh hour, or to his neighbour's children, and to esublish a sceu!ar, and moral system of education, without f,l.ence to creeds.
