X N the discharge of a public duty , Mr. EDWA RD FARRELL has been induced briefly to notice the mali cious efforts that have incessantly been made to injure him, and the base and cowardly persecution to which for a considerable time he has been subjected; this, and innumerable other in stances that could be named, proves to demonstration that anti- Christian principles predominate, and that although many as sume the appellation of Christian, the number is comparatively few of those who have a just claim to it. We have Divine authority for saying that none are members of Christ's flack, who do not practise universal fraternal love ; it excites the as tonishment of those who maturely reflect on passing occur rences, to observe the desire that is manifested to cause dis content ; as we are all well aware that, in the order of nature, cause must produce effect, and, consequently, when wrong is committed complaint must necessarily follow, and when redress cannot be obtained in the ordinary way, means must be had recourse to which necessity renders expedient. It i 3 much to be derlored that the golden rule, of doing unto others as we would be done by, is so little regarded, as it would be produc tive of the most beneficial effects in society, if complied with. A most atrocious outrage was recently committed iq a lodging house here, which for malignity could not be exceeded, and the impression which it has made on the mind can never be effaced. As the report of spoliation of property still continues, it is proper to observe that all such acts are racrilegious robberies, as all that is belongs to the Divine Creator, we are only stewards over what has been committed to our care, and will have to render a strict account of the use which we make of it; and as the Lord has said that whatever is done to his creatures, whom he has designed for an eternal union with himself, is done to him, we must, it we wish to possess his friendship, act in the most kindly manner by all, and promote their happin, ss to the utmost extent of our power.

That impression is much stronger now, and more widely diffused, than it was at the commence ment of railway travelling upon a large scale. This is precisely the opposite of that which the railway projec tors anticipated. When accidents first occurred they I said, It is no wonder—this is a vast affair, full of mi nute particulars, which all require attention. You can not expect that all these tall go on smoothly and cor rectly until the persons who should attend to them have had experience. When this experience has been acquired, accidents will cease." Tiiis seemed at the time not only a plausible but a well-founded pro phecy : but it has turned out a false one. It does not appear that experience has done so much in preventing accidents as the habit of danger has done in making the attendants careless. Some omit to show the proper lights—others go to sleep upon the roaring engine which they should direct—others, again, forget to put the turnings where they ought to be put, or omit to take them away where they ought to be taken away. We have assumed that the general im pression of the risk and danger in railway travelling is greater than it was some time ago. In every examina tion of the kind one must start somewhere, with a fact as little disputable as possible. We think the increase of the general impression of danger is quite notorious. But has this impression been fairly produced ? Has it been produced by facts, or by untrue, or not wholly true, representations? We really think it has been produced by facts—by the records of accidents which have occur red, too frequently confirmed by the reports of coroners' inquests. We do not dispute that there has been some exaggeration, and some prejudice at work in the com ments( upon railway t..e.c:dents which havensppetrPfirtli some quarters, but we think ❑ot so much as would form a just balance against the suppression and extenuation which take place on the part of those who have a pecuniary interest in the good fame of the railways, and the prejudice in favour of them on the part of those who love novelty, and what they consider " great sci entific improvement." If, then, the increased public sense of the risk and danger of railway travelling be a just impression, derived from actual events, we are next to consider whether the fault be inevitably in the na ture of this mode of travelling or be not—whether the in creased sense of danger is the natural and necessary re sult of the increased use of this mode of travelling, or the result of some existing defects which are susceptible of cure. It certainly is sufficiently unsatisfactory, not to say alarming to the public, to learn that the old mode of travelling is day by day becoming practically more impossible, owing to the laying down of coaches, and other circumstances, while, at the same time, not only the apprehension but the evidence of the risk and danger attendant on the new mode is increasing. Under such circumstances, it seems to us that the proprietors and directors of railways should be much mere anxious to satisfy the public than to defend themselves or their servants. EVENING EDITION. - - practice was discontinued, and the establishment by Government of-the prison at Parkhurst, in the Isle of Wight, has almost entirely superseded the necessity of sending )oung boys to any private asylum. In the mean. time, a portion of the funds haves been expended under the sanction of the Committee in various other - ways, for the relief and benefit of prisoners upon their discharge from prison and otherwise, and the surplus dividends have been accumulated, and with further donations and legacies, now consist of the following sums of stock, viz.:— £5,500 31. per cent. Consols, producing per annum.£l6.s £2,200 New 31/. per cents do. 70 £l,OOO .3/. per cent. Reduced do. 30 £8,503 £265 Having thus glanced at the past history of the In stitution, the Committee now turn to their proceedings during the past year : At the meeting held en the 31st October last, a further alteration was made in the division of the two accounts, arid it was resolved— " That a.ll 'the future subscriptions, donations, and legacies, except!thi - Chancery Annuity of 1001., be ap plied to the permanent account, and that the same be laid out in the public funds, in the names of the Trustees, under the direction of the Committee." And the Committee were requested to look out . for premises for the purpose of carrying out the objects of the Institution, as regards the establishinent of an asylum. Before taking any steps for the purpose, it was thOught desirable by 'the Committee (from the esta blishment of the Boys' Prison at Parkhurst, and from other reasons), that for the present, their inquiries should be confined to the establishment' of an asylum for discharged females. A sub-Committee, accompanied by the late Sher riffs' Messrs. Evans and Wheelton, inspected the female asylum Of the Refuge for the Destitute, and entered into a negotiation with the Corporation of that Asylum, to ascertain whether an arrangement could be m ide fur jointly erectiug an asylum ; but the sub-Coruniittee were of opinion that no such arrangement could be made, and therefore recommended the Committee to endeavour to find a suitable spot for building an asylum ingly actively engaged for sometime in looking out for suitable premises for the purposes of an asylum, but without success ; and as it was found the expenses of purchasing land, conveniently situated, and of erect : g and maintaining the necessary establishment were greater than the present state of the permanent fund would justify, they felt compelled to abandon the idea for (he present ; and subsequently they entered into an arrangement with Miss Neave, by which that lady undertook to receive into the Royal Asylum for Des titute Females, twenty females, to be sent by the Sheriffs, for the sum of 300/. a-year, and the further sum of six shillings per week for each person sent beyond the number of twenty, in pursuance of which arrangement several persons have been sent accordingly. This arrangement has been made as experiment, and in order to make a beginning, as the funds arising from the Refuge Account have ❑ot for sonic years been applied in sending discharged prisoners to any asylum. The annual sum agreed to be paid is rather more than the dividends of the per manent account, and the Committee must therefore appeal to the liberal consideratioa of the public to enable them to continue the arrangement they have en tered into, or abandon it at Midsummer next. The subscriptions and dividends during the last year have amounted to the sum of 85/. 18s. 6d., by means of which, and with the annuity of 1001. received from the Court of Chancery, the late Sheriffs have been enabled to relieve the following cases :—Ten persons who were transported were relieved with 4/. 14s. Ninety-four per sons against whom bills were not found by the Grand Jurv, or who were acquitted, were relieved with 16/. ss. 6d., and fifty other persons and their families relieved with the sum of 25/. 18s. 6d. One hundred and forty-two debtors or their wives and families were relieved, and in some cases their discharge from prison obtained, at an expense of 61/. Is. ld., making a total, 296 prisoners relieved for the sum of 107/. I Is. Id. The Committee also beg to report that John Capel and Edward Foss, Esqrs., have, during the past year, retired from the offices of Trustees, and Mr. Alderman John Johnson, and Edward Archer Wilde, Esq., have been sleeted in their room ; and the Committee feel they would not be doing justice to Mr. Capel and Mr. Foss, if they passed over in silence the occasion of their resig nation. They were appointed Trustees at the forma tion of the Permanent Account, of which Mr. Foss was one of the most active promoters, and both to him and to Mr. Capel are the thanks of the Society clue for the kind interest they have ever taken in its welfare. The Committee have had a declaration of trust of the funds belonging to the Permanent Account prepared, and the same has been executed by two of the Trustega, and will be completed by the others on their return to town. The Report was unanimously received and ordered to be printed and circulated, on the tion of Mr. AN. DERTON.' Upon the motion of Mr. CHARLES PEARSON, Mr. Thisselton Dyer was re-elected Treasurer of the Fund. Thanks having been voted to the late Sheriffs, Messrs. Evans and Wheelton, Messrs. Fiss and Capel, and the Chairman, the meeting separated. THE SHERIFFS' FUND. Yesterday the Annual Meeting of the Sheriffs' Fund Institution took place at the London Coffee-house. Sir JAMES WILLIAMS in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN in addressing the meeting, adverted to the various topics treated of in the Report, which, as it fully explained the origin, nature, and extent of the;charity, would be read with much interest. He called the attention of the meeting most particularly to the objects which had latterly been attended to by the management, and expressed a fervent hope that the fund would, with the assistance of the public, be made permanently useful.—(Cheers.) Mr. COOPER, the Honorary Secretary, then read the Report, which was as follows : An interval of some years having elapsed since a Re port of the proceedings of this institution has been cir culated amongst its Subscribers, the Committee think it may be of service to recall to their attention the past history of the institution. The design of the Sheriffs' Fund is due to Sir Richard Phillips, who, in his shrievalty in the year 1608, finding in his visits to Newgate so many well-founded claims of a pecuniary nature on his charity that he was un able to meet, determined to call on the benevolent part of the public to contribute towards an object which ap peared to possess the highest claims to commisseration ; a Sheriffs' Fund was therefore publicly announced, having the following object 3 :- 1. The temporary relief of the distressed families and dependents of persons in confinement. •2. A temporary provision for persons who, on being discharge d _rotas .."21.7.acin0..1, la*vo r.B meani of present subsistence. 3. The purchase of such tools, implements, and materials as may be conducive to habits of industry in debtors and criminals. 4. The pecuniary aid of other objects of distress who come under the official cognizance of the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex. The design was favourably received by the public, and in the course of the year the sum of 4501. was collected for the purposes of the charity ; the same plan was con tinued with variable success, dependent on the exer tions and popularity of the Sheriffs for the time being (the Senior Undersheriff for the year being the Trea surer), until the Shrievalty of Messrs. Spottiswoode and Stable, and on the decease of the latter, the appointment of his successor, Mr. Wilde, in his stead in the years 1827 and 1828, when an annuity of 1001. a year and other bequests having been made to the Institution, it was resolved, at a public meeting of the friends and sup porters of the Fund, That by the appropriation of the annunity, and the transfer of a certain sum of stock for the purposes of a fund, an opportunity was afforded of establishing the charity on a more permanent basis, and of rendering it more operative and effective. That it was expedient that the Sheriffs' Fund should be esta blished as a regular institution, and that all the present and future funded stock should be placed in the names of four Trustees, for the purposes of the Institution. That a Treasurer should be annually elected at the ge neral meeting in October. That the subscriptions and donations to the Fund should be divided into two ac counts, one to be entitled " the Sheriffs' Account," and the other " the Refuge Account." That to the Sheriffs' Account should be carried all annual subscriptions and donations under ten guineas, and that the same should be applied under the sole control and direction of the Sheriffs for the be nefit of the criminals and debtors in their custody, and that any balance thereof that might remain at the end of their year of office, should be divided equally, and one moiety thereof be delivered over to the account of the new Sheriffs, for the like purpose, and the other moiety be carried to the Refuge Account, and laid out in the public funds, in the names of the Trustees. That to the Refuge Account should be carried all sub scriptions and donations of ten guineas and upwards, and that the same should be laid out in the public funds in the names of the Trustees, to form with the present, and all future stock, a permanent fund for the support of a Refuge for the reception of such prisoners as should be desirous of entering into it, or for otherwise provid ing for them on their discharge from the prisons of the City and County, and that the dividends only of the stocks, together with the annuity of 1001., from the Court of Chancery, and all future annuities, should bo appropriated to that object, and that the stocks themselves should remain untouched unless a favourable opportunity should occur to purchase premises for the purpose, when such part as might be necessary, should be sold out to pay for them, subject to the sanction of a General Meeting. That the management and details of the Refuge and the Refuge Account should be under the direction of a Committee, consisting of the Presidents (who were to be the Sheriffs for the year), Vice-Presidents, Trustees, Treasurer, Under-Sheriffs for the time being, and ten gentlemen, to be annually elected out of the members at the general meeting in October. At a subsequent General Meeting of the Subscribers to the Fund, heldjon Oct. 27, 1829, some alteration - was made in the appropriation of the funds, and it was resolved, That for the future there should be carried to the Sheriffs' Account one half of all such subscrip tions and donations and of all legacies not exceeding 501., and contents of poor-boxes, Mrs and also the an , nu a i n t d y of 1001. per annum, given by M. payable by the Court of Chancery ; and that in case the Sheriffs, at the close of their year of office, should not have expended the whole of the said sum, they should pay over the balance either to the account of the new Sheriffs for the like purpose, or to the Refuge Account, or between both the said accounts, in such proportions as should seem expedient to them. And in case they should make no such disposition of the said balance before the general meeting in October, then it should be apportioned by the said meeting. That to the R e f ug e Account should be carried the other half of ail s ubscriptions, donations, and of all legacies not exceeding 50/., and contents of poor-boxes, together with the whole amount of all legacies above sol.,and the same should be laid out i n th e pu bli c funs in the names of the Trustees. The new plan mot with the warm support of the pub lic, and subscriptions and donations, to the amount of upwards of 7501, were received, which were shortly after wards followed by a legacy of 2,000/. from Mr. Tillard, and a donation of 1,0001. Three per Cent. Consols from another friend, who refused to make his name known. For some time after the establishment of the Refuge Account, an arrangement was made with the Corpora tion of the R e f uge f or the Destitute, by whic h j uvenile t offenders w ere rece i ve d and maintained in thactes.a but in establish ment at an e x p ense o f a b out 181. a7Yenr h ' consequence of the rule s of that institution e not permit ting them t o rece i ve some o f t h e c lasses f causes, the a _ to them by th e C omm itt ee , a nd fromothero cas es sent LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, lB4O. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. (FRIDAY EVENING.) TIMES.—The intelligence of the settlement of the French Ministry had the 'effect of giving a firmer tone to the English Stock Market. Consols opened at 87i to for the Account, rose to 88 to k, at which they left off. Some sales, however, were effected in the laver part of the day, which rendered the aspect of Consols less firm after the close of busiress. This was settling-day in the Foreign house, but there was no particular feature, nor have the fluctua tions been important. There was no difficulty in ob taining money, although it has been rather in demand for the last few days. It could be had to-day for about five per cent. The foreign securities in gene ral have been firm, with the exception of the Penin sular Stocks, since M. Thiers having been considered favourable to the holders of these securities, the ap pointment of the new French Ministers, which has im parted a firmness to other markets, has here caused a slight depression. CHRONICLE.—The Bank broke: is said to have effected a sale of Exchequer Bills yesterday to some amount, at par, when the price was nominally ss. to 3s. discount. It is said also that the same party bought Consols at 87i for money, when the market price was 87; to i t . The object in view under this anomalous transaction was, in both cases, to support the market. The purchaser of Exchequer Bills gave more than the value for the article which he bought, and the seller of ConsolS received more than the market price for:what he parted with. But this repeated "selling of Ex- chequers,* on the part of the Bank, to work upon the currency, leads to the inquiry—where they obtain such an inexhaustible supply of these securities ? And, not withstanding the denial at the last half-yearly meet ing of the Directors that they had sold any part of the " dead weight," we have reason to believe that, although this may have been true in the abstract, it was not so in practice. On looking at the evidence of Mr. Norman, in the Report of the Committee on banks of issue, we find him saving, in explanation of the measures adopted by the Bank Parlour in the year 1839 for the reduction of the circulation, that in the month of August of that year they attempted to make a sale of a portion of the " dead weight," but as the offers did not reach the price which they expected, they then " pledged" a portion, and obtained credit on it in foreign countries, which they made use of to the extent of two millions and a half. He also adds that they borrowed 730,000/. in Exchequer Bills from the East India Company on the security of the Dead Weight, a portion of which they made use of." This evidence shows us one important source from which the Directors have been obtaining their supplies of Ex chequer Bills. This was settling-day in the Foreign House, but owing to the absence of speculation of late in the foreign securities, the differences to be paid were un usually small, and money was to be had on easy terms, the rate of continuation not being more than 5 to 6 per cent. The money to pay a promised half-year's dividend on the Chilian loan is really, we believe, in London. Senor Rosales has actually been employed on the sub ject in London, making the required arrangements, and at the meeting of the committee this was communi cated, we believe, by the Chairman. The payment is to be a half-year's dividend, out of twenty-eight such half-yearly payments past due ; and it is to be made at the rate of 6 per cent, upon the original bonds, in terms of the loan raised in 1822, at 76, by the house of Messrs. Hullett, Brothers, and Co. No arrangement, we believe, has been yet effected as to the payment of the arrears of interest ; but as regards the future dividends, Senor Rosales has stated that his Government is inspired with " ar dour" to remit them regularly as they fall due. The position of the bondholders is thus so far improved, and we trust they will act with firmness, so as to make it still better. The whole revenues of the State of Chili are pledged to them for payment of the loan, and they have it in their power, therefore, to exact full pay ment. Lord Palmerston has clearly laid down the principle that the revenues so pledged cannot be applied to other purposes than what the contract bears without defrauding the bondholders, and that it is only the sur plus revenues which may exist, after payment of the in terest on the foreign debt, that the Chilian Government can honestly or legally apply to their own purposes. If they want money for their own uses they must raise it by taxation. is would be weak ciiii - difetlittlicv-part uF the bondholders, therefore, if they did not adhere strictly to the terms of the contract, and take care that the revenues of Chili are appropriated accordingly. This arrangement, wo are sure, will afford general approbation to those interested, and we trust that no obstacle will be allowed to stand in the way of its suc cess. The state of Venezuela, it seems, has expressed surprise that its agents here had not concluded an ar rangement with the bondholders. We do not under stand, however, that they have accepted the last offers of compromise made by the Committee. If this assump tion be correct, it becomes a grave question fOr conside ration whether the bondholders ought not to avail them selves of the locus venilentite, and repudiate their offer. The revenues of Venezuela are increasing with great rapidity, and the resources of the country showing pro gressive capaLilities. The terms which the Committee signified their readiness to accept were by many looked upon at the -ime as being objectionable for their liberal ity ; and under the favourable change of circumstances which has taken place in the means of their debtor, it seems doubtful whether the Committee ought not to raise their demands. But the matter must soon be laid before the Committee officially, and will no doubt be followed up by a general meeting, who will dispose of it in the manner most conducive to the common interests of the bondholders. HERALD.—An improvement in the funds may be again noted to-day, the cause of which is referred to the accounts from Paris of the final formation of a Soult-Guizot Ministry, and its favourable acceptation so far as indicated by the advancing prices on the Paris Bourse. In effect it may be noted that some large and bold speculations for the rise have been latterly carry ing on by two leading capitalists, one of them a well known Jew broker there, but not, as might be imagined otherwise, one of the great concern so much better known both here and e:sewhere. By the more cau tious and better informed persons in Paris it is not helloed that the new Ministry has any character of permanence about it, but that it will serve to perplex and increase the difficulties of the moment rather than otherwise. Although at present, and until the meeting of the Chamber of Deputies, a certain outward calm may appear to prevail, there can be no question that this is fallacious and in appearance only, for the war and republican faction, it may be taken for granted, will use every effort to excite the public mind against any pacific tendencies of the King and Cabinet, and unfortunately the people are too much predisposed for any extremity or excess of violence. A private letter received in the City to-day from a party who all along has taken ex ceedingly correct views of the state of affairs, as so far borne out by results, reiterates a strong conviction that the present crisis will eventually terminate in the " ab oieation" of the King, if not in a general war. By her Majesty's brig Racehorse ad vices have reached from Rio Janeiro to the Ist of September. The Ex change ruled at 30d. to 300. The Legislature had authorised a loan to supply the deficit existing in the Treasury to the extent of 1,200,000/. In the meaa time to provide for more pressing exigencies Treasury bills were to be issued as before bearing interest. As no papers have yet been received in the usual paces in the City, nor the usual supply of letters and papers from Rio at this office, it is not possible with any thing like an approach to exactitude to form an estimate of the actual financial state of the country, which appa rently however is not in the best order. Considerable waste of resources must naturally be allowed for as oc casioned by the successive insurrections in Bahia, Rio Grande, and elsewhere, of which that of Rio Grande remains still unsuppressed. SU N.—The English Stocks were all buoyant to-day, in consequency of a temporary relaxation of the money scarcity, and the favourable intelligence from Paris re specting the formation of the Soult-Guizot Alinistry. Consols touched 87i- to 874 for money, and 88 to 88k for the 26th of next month, or a rise of 4 per cent. on yesterday's prices. The market closed with a good appearance. Exchequer Bills were done 33. to Is. dis count, and India Bonds at 14s. to 12s. discount, being also an improvement for each of about 2s. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. went up to 964 and 97 1 *, and the Reduced Three per Cents. to 86} to 86 1 . 'There has been a gre a t d ea l o f b us i ness d o i ng i n the Foreign Market to-day, and prices have generally ranged higher. The latest of the day were in most instances the best realised, excepting for Spanish Stock, which was rather heavy at the close of business. Co lombian Bonds brought 231 to 234 ; Mexican, 271 ; Brazilian, 734 ; Portuguese, New, 324 to 324 ; Spa nishlll increased Russian, l l2 to 111 . In buoyancy of our Actives, 21i to ; I)itch Two -and-a-Half per Cents., own funds, was also beneficially felt , the sales made in the different Railways,—not very numerous certai n ly,— 11 5 e oSth to s e o'i ; Market and 1 having established higher prices. The Great Western Railway Shares were at 13 to 14 ; the New at 44 to 34, the Fifth at Zit ; the London and Birmingham at 674 to 664 ; the Manchester and Leeds New at 51 and the South Western at 124 to 1] premium. Brigh ton Shares were 134. to 13 ; Blackwall ; and N ew North Midland 3 discount. British North American Bank Shares were at 5 discount, and London Joint Stock Bank at 2-4 premium. The Foreign Exchanges were heavy again this after noon as regards bills on the northern cities, the rate of Exchange from Hamburgh, not having come over higher than 13.11, and the price of gold being 426. Here the rate on Hamburgh was 13.61 to 7 ; on Frankfort 148 to I ; on Amsterdam 12.2 ;on Paris 25.421 to 47} ; and Trieste 10.1 to 'lv .2. It will be seen that with the exceptions above made, the alterations are not worth mentioning. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS, FIIO3I THE MORNING PAPERS •F THIS DAY. (From the Times.) We beg to direct the attention of those among our readers who take an interest in the affair of Captain R. A. Reynolds to four doelments relating to a some what similar case which occurred during the Peninsular war in the year 1811. These documents (which are subjoined to these remarks) are from the pen of that perfect master of military science, the Duke of Wel lington, and will be found in Colonel Gurwood's col lection of his despatches and general orders. The spirit of kindness and consideration for the offend ing party which they breathe, and the sound prin ciples which they lay down, r• of military discipline only, but of gentlemanly conduct, will be appreciated by our readers, and easily applied to the present case. The note to Major-General Campbell; of the 14th September, 1811, is especially: tl?brthy of obserVation. The officer there spoken of h 4 resented, in bffensive terms, language not pfivats.: l but tyficiagk toed, by his commanding officer, by which he thought himself injured. For those offensive expressions he was re luctantly, and not -till - he had rejected the Duke's parental interference, personally soliciting him to withdraw the objectionable letter, brought to a Court-Martial, and visited with a suitable punishment. Military discipline having thus been vindicated in the person of the subaltern, the Duke proceeds to take the necessary steps for reconciling the alienated affoctions even of the individual whom he has found it neces sary to publish, b) inviting him to send in his statement of grievances in the regular manner, requiring the com manding officer to write his observations, answer, and defence of himself, upon each injury stated, and re serving the consideration of any proceedings which it may afterwards become necessary to take. " We have no chance," he says emphatically to the commanding officer, " except we proceed regularly ; and you may depend upon it, that at last he" (the disaffected party) " will be brought to act as he ought." What was once said of a Learned Prelate may be repeated with not less truth of the Duke of Wellington—" the very dust of his writings is gold." Here is a lesson which all persons intrusted with military power, not excepting Commanders-in-Chief, may profitably learn ; the highest military authority has laid it down, that the only way to remedy disunion between a subaltern and his superior is by giving a regular and impartial hearing to each party in his turn. If Lord Hill has not done this in the recent instance of the complaints against Lord Cardigan, it can only be because the evident justice of those com plaints has enabled him to assume their truth even without the process of formal investigation, and virtually to act as he would have acted had they been investi gated and proved. —th Regiment. " Cosmiro, 18th Aug. 1811. " Major-General Campbell has informed me that he had placed you in arrest, on charges, copies of which will be transmitted to you in the usual course by the Adjutant-General, and he has communicated to me a correspondence which has passed, upon which he has founded these charges. lam very desirous, if possible, to prevent these charges coming under the consideration of a general Court-martial ; and as it appears to me that you have not considered the subject in its true light, I trouble you with this letter ; and I send it direct to yourself, because your commanding officer is the other party in the question, and I am desirous to avoid influ encing the final decision by a Court-martial by any opinion of mine, in case I should not succeed in convinc ing you that you have taken a mistaken view of your case. " It appears that you imagine that you have reason to complain of an order issued by your commanding officer, Major-Geaeral Campbell, and you have remon strated upon this order. I put out of the question for the present, the consideration of the justice or the in justice of this order ; or whether you had ground, or otherwise, to remonstrate, as bearing in no man rigr upon the case. It is obvious that if you address must make use of respectful terms, and must avoid the use of those which are offensive. Tnis necessity exists in the common intercourse of life, in which nothing offensive is tolerated, either by the rules of society or by the law ; much less is anything offensive allowed in tLe intercourse among military men, particularly in the communications of an officer, of whatever rank, to his commanding officer. I observe that in your letter of 1 the 9th August, addressed to the Assistant Adjutant- General, you state that from the papers you transmit ted, it must appear that the orders of that day, as ap plicable to the regiment and yourself, are totally desti tute of foundation ;' that it is proved that it is the re verse of what has been stated ; and that, if allowed to remain on record, it will be a gross injustice to yourself and the regiment. You sent the letter containing these expressions, notwithstanding that the Assistant Adju tant-General and Major-General Burne had refused to fs,rward it to the Major-General, because it contained offensive expressions. " I believe it will be admitted that the use of such expressions would not be tolerated in private life ; nay, the law would protect any individual from them, whatever h tpsahunreepmsesr iio;onrms.officer might wutieoa leilts wouldst be h issrucaepili yisethoru superior, unnecessary e g ,es ereuuorepsu:oesenna,(oirt of natfhot afforded s oretrmhtd heeeh for the rlulpo oeofissued by u purpose eei deoyst s esy e of from uoe such r remonstrance ; your legitimate object in that remonstrance was to show Major-General Campbell that he was mis taken, and that his order ought not to have referred to the —th regiment; you were to effect this object by the papers which you enclosed ; and to add your comments upon these papers was not necessary for your purpose: but when these comments were conveyed in offensive terms, it would appear that they were added only for the purpose of offending. On this ground lam (nest anxious that you should not appear before a general Court-martial on such a subject.

" But, unfortunately, there are some of us who can not avoid to feel warmly for the success of the operation of which we have the charge, and to express ourselves with vehemence, and in language not perfectly correct, on the mistakes and neglects which are likely to impede it ; and although I consider every officer responsible for language of this description, the complaint of the per son to whom it is addressed ought to be made imme diately, in order that all the circumstances under which it was used may come fairly before those whose duty it may be to inquire into the subject ; and that it may be seen whether there was any and what provocation in error or neglect for the language used." (From the Morning Chronicle.) We continue to be inundated with communications on the case of the Earl of Cardigan and Captain R. A. Reynolds. It is impossible to find room for more than a small portion of them. Many of our correspondents are somewhat too impatient in complaining as they do of the backwardness of the friends of Capt. R. A. Rey nolds in not turning the public sympathy to account. A meeting has been announced at the British Coffee-house for Tuesday next. An affair of such moment ought not to be too much precipitated. Those who disapprove of the sentence of the Court-martial, and yet out of a pre tended regard for the army would allow Capt. It. A. Reynolds to be sacrificed, must be prepared to maintain that the efficiency pf an army is better secured by in justice than by justice. The 1-;nri of Cardigan will never quit the army till he is forced to quit it. Who but the Earl of Cardigan, after the opinion pronounced of his conduct by a most respectable Court•martial, ap proved of by the Crown, would have again thrust him self before the public ? The reprimand to his Lordship, administered by Lord Hill, is not enough for the ends of justice. Military discipline must be upheld ; but where was the regard for military discipline, when an officer, driven from command for conduct ungentle manly in itself, and calculated to destroy discipline, was placed at the head of a regiment distinguished for its excellent conduct at home and abroad ? They are the enemies of discipline who, with broad facts of unfitness staring them in the face, make experiments on the pa tience of brave men beyond the ordinary measure of hu man endurance. The public have not interfered too soon ; and the sympathy with Captain R. A. Reynolds, by inspiring the Horse Guards with a little more consi deration for the army than has hitherto been displayed, must contribute materially to its efficiency. It is a libel on brave men, to say that greater regard to justice will make them less efficient. We will not publish all that is communicated to us, on tolerably good autho rity, respecting many of the officers who composed the Court-martial ; the disgrace of having published the dictum appended to the sentence requires no addition. Among our correspondents this day, is one gentleman who offers, in case a subscription be entered into, to be answerable for 50/., and he has supplied us with his ad dress. This is one of many decisive proofs of the feel ing excited by the sentence against Captain R. A. Reynolds. ( From the Morning Herald.) It would be a sad symptom of the decline of public spirit in this country—of that public spirit which is not a factious resistance to authority—if the case of Captain Reynolds, who has been driven from an honourable pro fession under circumstances but too well known, did not excite a feeling of general interest and sympathy. Public indifference on such a question would argue public servility, and an extinction of that generous sense of hatred of oppression, and love of equal justice and " fair play," hitherto so characteristic of Englishmen. Of Lord Cardigan's conduct, the accuser and prosecutor of Captain Reynolds, there may be said to be but one opinion, with a rare exception or two, everywhere be yond the magic circle of the Horse Guards ; and even there, if we are to judge from the gentle admonition which his Lordship recently received from head-quarters, touching his qualites of " temper" and " discretion," as evinced by him in the command of his regiment, his reputation does not stand very high. Still, his influ ence must continue to be considerable in the " high places" of the army, or that admonition, which the strong expression of public opinion evidently extorted, would not have been worded with the most tender solicitude to spare, as much as possible, the feelings of a man, who never seems to have any great consideration for the feelings of others—a man who can make a bottle of Moselle poison the harmony or u - wholc regiment, and who seems to think, according to his reported and un contradicted expressions, that an " Indian officer" should be cautious how he came " betwixt the wind and his nobility." If Lord Cardigan's conduct be treated by any journal as a party question, and the Noble and Gallant Commander of the 11th Hussars be " perre cuted," because he is a Tory Peer, the remark is cer tainly not applicable to the Mornilsk Herald ; for al though the Morning Herald is not a Tory paper any more than it is a Whig pap er , it canno t b e accuse d o f Conservativecommand e of Peers. a regimentprinciples, Had n c anyo becauselB having any particular predile c tio n f or at t ac ki ng men rilig because nobleman tti'heeyy p happenosi to ducted himself with the sort of bearing and temper to the officers under him which the Earl of Cardigan has on so many occasions displayed, we would have said of him, as wo say of the Lieutenant- Colonel of Prince Albert's regiment, " He ought to be relieved from duties, for which, by disposition, habit, and temper, he is obviously unqualified. The autho rities at the Horse Guards cannot too soon repair the mistake which they made when they restored him to the command of a regiment. It is time to write the epi taph of his military life." But we are told by a Morn ing Journal that Lord Hill's reproof, administered through the Adjutant-General, to Lord Cardigan, is cquivalent to a recommendation to retire from the service—to retire voluntarily, before he is compelled to do so. We cannot read it in that light. To a person of refined sensibilities it might possibly convey that meaning, but such a person could not have incurred the rebuke. On Lord Cardigan's mind it has made, judg ing from all appearances, no such impression. To the titled truant the military schoolmaster has applied the "rod" so gently, and has wrapped it so carefully in cotton, that its smart has been scarcely felt, and sure we are its " discipline" will not long be re membered. In the ridiculous and yet melancholy af fair of the " black bottle," we blamed Lord Hill for the part he took in encouraging Lord Cardigan, and resisting inquiry. Our opinion then was, and it is our opinion still, that Lord Hill would have acted the part of a more judicious friend to the officer whose offensive message originated that quarrel, if be had told him in private that he had committed himself in a very silly business, and ought to get out of it in the quietest manner possible, by some expression of regret to the young of ficer who had been so arbitrarily deprived of his liberty, because he did not bear the accusation of being ad dicted to tavern-practices with the callous indifference of one who deserved it. It is easy for Lord Hill to tell any or all sufferers by such arbitrary stretches of power that they ought to "bury the past in oblivion." if they do, the public certainly will not, for it much con cerns the public that examples of slavery and oppression should not be given to the country on the pretence of supporting military subordination Power intemperately exercised—authority indis• creetly asserted—does more to create insubordination and subvert military discipline than can be reme died by any means short of positively punishing such intemperance and such indiscretion. Is it not grievous and lamentable that an officer, to whose character such high testimony had been borne as was offered in behalf of Captain R. A. Reynolds in the Cou rt-martial at Brighten,;should be ruined in his professional prospects for ever, because he had the misfortune to be in a re giment whose commanding officer was deficient is " temper" and "discretion," as Lord Hill himself ad mits, while the " intemperate" and " indiscreet" com manding officer still waves his sword aloft in the ple nitude of military power, and enjoys his unlaurelled triumph. But Captain Reynold:, whose character as a gentleman remains untouched and spotless, has the public sympathy. We are not of those who depre cate the display of that sympathy in some unequi vocal and substantial manner—quite the con trary. If power, either in the army or elsewhere, is so exercised as to excite the public feeling in favour of those who arc the sufferers by such exercise of power, the per sons screen w who o t commit m mo st taabkues the s consequences , o f authority, oor t thoseis very w induced o easy to say that arbitrary power may be rit length to do justice to a bruised and trampled victim if it be not rudely obtruded upon by public opinion. But we never yet knew arbitrary. power condescend to retract an error or repair a wrong unless compelled to it by the strong expression of the public voice. In the case of Lieutenant-Colonel Bradley, one of the worst cases of the oppressive exercise of arbitrary p o wer in the army we have ever heard .of, there was of f ubl t ic he meeting r — or no topublic nd subs t c i r l ieptioiot:s subscription on behalfn Guards, and yet upwards of twenty years' deprivation Horse Guar h av e not sufficed to mitigate the vindictiveness of power o r redress the wrongs of the victim of injustice. We are glad that a public meeting has been announced on behalf of Captain Reynolds, and we are sure if any" thing can obtain him redress, it will be the expression of the generous sympathy of his countrymen. (From the Morning Post.) The question of the safety of railroad travelling i has of late been exciting more than usual attention. It s worthy of especial notice in regard to this matter, th a t the general impression regarding a peculiar risk and CORONER'S INQUEST. An inquest was held at Croydon a few days ago, before Mr. Carter, the Coroner for the eastern division of Surrey, on the body of Charles Wells, a labourer, employed on the London and Brighton Itiilwny, who . died in the Croydon Uni on wor kh ouse , i n consequence of injuries he received while working upon the line. Some other peculiar circumstances were connected with the inquiry. It appear s th a t t h e d ecease d was at work with a number of other labourers at a cutting, and it was usual with them to send the earth waggon s n a s nd fu t l i l lc o n f gravel for a certain distance, drawn by horses, they were placed upon an inclined rail, which conveyed them to the spot where they were to be emptied by their own impetus. The deceased was attending upon the waggons, and while they were upon the inclined plane and going with great velocity, his foot unfortu nately slipped, and before he could recover himself, the waggons ran over one of his legs, and crushed it in a most frightful manner. He was immediately taken to the Croydon workhouse, and Mr. Bottomley, the sur geon, attended upon him, and he discovered that the injuries the deceased had received were of so dreadful a character, that immediate amputation of the limb was absolutely necessary, and he accordingly performed that operation, and the patient was left in the charge of two of the paupers, with instructions to keep him quiet, and prevent him meddling with his ban dages. It would appear that during the night, the poor man, being in dreadful agony, was very restless, and would not be still, and persisted in sitting upright in the bed ; and one of the men, after repeatedly tell ing him to lie down, either pushed or struck him, and forced him back upon the pillow ; and the cir-umstances coming to the knowledge of the parish authorities, they had the men taken before a Magistrate at Croydon, when a man, who had also sat up with the patient, swore that Gant, the person referred to, struck him a violent blow on the breast, and knocked him back on his pillow. The man himself admitted that he had pushed the deceased, but said he only did so because the doctor told him that the man must be kept quiet, and not be suffered to sit up, after his leg was ampu tated, and the Magistrate ultimately dismissed the charge of assault. When the inquest took place, the facts relative . to the manner in which the accident occurred having been deposed to, the Coroner took occasion to inquire whe ther there was any truth in the rumour that the de ceased had been assaulted by some one previous to his death, and while he was lying in the workhouse. H e was informed that it was certainly true that alter the deceased's leg had been amputated, one of the persors who sat up with him had pushed him back on the pil low, but not with any unnecessary violence. The Co roner then inquired of Mr. Bottomley, the surgeon, whether he had any reason to b e li eve t h at th i s push in any way accelerated the death of the deceased. The surgeon replied certainly not ; he considered the Ca%) hopeless from the first, and immediate amputation was the only chance. The man's constitution ' however, ' could not beat the s h oc k ; h e san k rapidly, and never rallied.
