14",VEN1NG EMT;ON sent system, English or Irish, Parliamentary or munici- I pal, there are great and grievous blemishes ; and the mis chief is, that the Whigs will not consent to the removal of these blemishes because their existence is favourable to their party interests. As it was in the case of Lord Stanfey's Dill, so is it to the very end of the story. Ministers know what ought to be done, and even some times talk of doing it ; but in comes some intriguer like O'Connell, whose power and influence depend upon fraud, and insists upon every facility for false swearing or eersonation lilting left untouched! We rejoice, how ever, to see that in one department of the registration — that cennected with the municipal elections—matters have come to such - a pass as to render it clearly impos sible to eo en any longer. Same change in the law must be made, and that in the very nsxt Session ; and we look to the Conservatives in both Houses to see that jus tice is done in the measure which must scon be in troduced. In the two largest boroughs in England, the city of London perhaps excepted—Leeds and Li verpeo), the municipal resistration of the present year has utterly failed. After sitting for the whole 15 de ye allowed by law, :he Court in each borough was obliged to break up, leaving its task unfinished ; and consequently the ensuing electiens must take place upon the burgess-roils of 1839. Nor is this sad. V/c . sac no reason to conclude that the task will be easier next year. Bat, should the same difficulty then recur, the same lists (of 1839) must again be resorted to, and the elections carried on with burgess-rolls of' two years' standing, one-third of the people con'ained in which would be dead or gene away ; while their succes s"rs, morally entitled,would be ex&uded from their votes. Obviously, this is a state of things which cannot be per mitted to continue. At Liverpool the burgess-roll of this velr contained 14 417 names. Of these no fewer than 7,303 were ohjected to. After 15 days' sitting, mere than five thousand of these objections remained unheard. Even if the Court had continued its sittings up to the very day of the election—Nov. I—it is clear that the whole 7,303 could not have been disposed of. At Leeds the total number of objections and of new claims wes no fewer than 10,099 P. Of these nearly 4,000 t. atAittetl unheard esellea the Court terminated iis sit tin:•s. Nor may either party reproach the other with hating created this monstrous state of thivzs. At L'e: rpool the Conservative objections we , e 3,290 ; the Radical, 3,804. At Leeds the Conservative claims and objections were 5.070 ; the Radical, 5,0'29. The bolt, then, b , 2ing in the system, it is Blear that we must rrqure an amendment of that system. But let that awoedreent be an•honest one. Let us have no keeping open the loopholes for deceit and fraud. Let us not be treated with a repetition of the dishonest conduct of Ministers in the matter of the English Parliamentary reeistratton—conduct scarcely a whit p-eferable to their trutiklieg to O'Connell in the discussions on Lord btan!ey's Bill. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, OCT. 20. (B,:fore Mr. Sergeant ADAMS and a Bench of Magistrates.) The trial of prisoners for the October Sessions com menced this morning. The calendar centained the names of sixty persons, twenty-four of t-rhom were in dicted for felony. SulklllAßY CONVICTION.—George Clayton, a child of eleven years of age, was' placed at the bar, and in dicted for stealing seventy-six walnuts, the property of Henry Perkins. The prosecutor was a green-grocer in Church-way. During his absence the boy got into the shop, and was in the act of making off with the walnuts when prosecu tor returned. The child was given in charge to a policeman, and taken to the station-house. The Jury found him guilty. The CHAIRMAN said that this was one of those sad and short cases that so frequently came before the Court, and must continue to do so while the laws re mained unchanged. It was lamentable that there was no other way of disposing of infants, suo.l as the child et the bar, than by convicting them as crimina!s. The system of summary conviction of such offenders at pr. - sent pursued by the police Magistrates was bad. Sum mary convictions in such cases did more rdschief then anything that had come within the sphere of his obser vation, and the greater his experience was, the more lie was confirmed in that opinion. During his recent visit to Parkhurst prison, in the Isle of Wight, lie ascer tained, and was particularly struck with the fact, that the greater nuir!i-er of the juvenile prisoners there had gone the round of summary conviction at different police ccurts before they were sent to the sess'ons, where alone any step could be taken for their permanent re formation. In many instances before they came to that court they bad already become hardened, and almost incorrigible. The evils of such a system must be obvious at once. In making these remarks he wiAled it clearly to be understood that the blame did not rest with the committing Magistrates. An idea bad got abroad that such was not his opinion, but nothing could be more erroneous. Tile fault was in the system, which gax c to Magistrates no other powers to dispose of child ren than by sending them to prison. He felt almost certain that the boy now before them would not hale been there, and that the excellent Magistrate (Mr. Raw linson), from nhose office be came, would not have i committed him fer trial had it been his first offence. In answer to inquiries on the subject, one of the con stables said, that to his knowledge the boy bad already been before Mr. Rawliason, for stealing five shillings from his father. Tile CHAIRMAN inquired if the boy's parents were in court ? The policeman replied they were not. Ho had sent to his mother, who said she would have nothing more to do with him ; her child must take the consequences. The Cnatituatki inquired whether the boy could read —lt appeared he could not. The CHAIRMAN—Here is a boy at the tender age of ercven years, who cannot read, whose parents not even come down to the Court to learn his fate. After some further remarks by the Bench, The CHAIRMAN said that this recalled very forcibly to his mind another defect in the present praiseworthy experiments of Government at Parkhurst. He (the Chairman) did not see why the State should be at the whole expense of supporting that establishment, and he hoped to sec a Bill introduced to Raliainent next Ses sion, to compel parents, who were able, to contribute towards• the maintenance of their offspring while confined there. The parents of many of the children now at Parkhurst were well able to do so. The sen tence of the Court upon tie prisoner was, that he be transported for seven years; and a recommendation would be forwarded to the Secretary of State teat he be r.-moved to that prison. The CHAIRMAN inquired what the boy's father was ? The policeman replied that he was a drayman at Menx's Brewery The CHAIRMAN said that the cost of each prisoner at Parkhurst, including the officers and everything, was only about 151. a year. There was no reason, for in , stance, why such a man as that, who was receiving good weekly wages, should not he made to bear the half, or at least a part, of that expense. The other eases - were of little interest. Tne Court adjourned at five o'clock. (From the Morning Post.) There begins to be now souse hope that a certain description of good, which scarcely could have been calculated upon, may arise out of the alarm and lis t urbance which the proceedings of the French war pasty have lately excited throughout Europe. We allude to the widely and rapidly spreading conviction that the gre:a evil of the present time is the presumptuous re ‘olutionlry spirit which wars with the peace and good order of national communities, and falsely calls itself a spirit oi liberty. ".Liecage they mean when they cry li'serty, F,r who loves that must first be wise and good," Toe war party in France have already shown that xi:de they aff 'et a greater regard fur liberty and po• pular rights than others do who demand that respect sliould he ,paid to established institutions, they are possessed with a most. savage, crud, and blood-thirsty raga for dominotion which would not scruple to gratify itself at the expense of a renew 'l of all the horrors which disgraced France fifty years ago. Experience has done nothing to reclaim the diseip'es of revolution. The history of half a century has wade evid(nt the miserable folly of the revolutionary principle, and its utter inapplicability to the affairs of mankind, so, long as these affairs are superior to the instincts and habits of wild beasts. But the grossly de praved discip!es of the revolutionary school have learned nothing from history. They have not learned even so much as a particle of diffi ience or modesty. Their im pudence is as monstrous as if the world had not seen in the events of the last half century that the greatest scourges of the human race, the most pitiless, tyrannical, remorseless murderers that ever made themselves con spicuous by their crimes, have been persons who commenced their career as revolutionists. At this very d iy the political successors of these dead monsters st ii cry out " liberty," and at the same time raise the yell of war. They pretend to be friends of civi lization, and yet they are swift to shed blood. They affect an especial regard for the happiness of the human race, and yet they encourage war, which ever falls most cruelly and severely upon the poor and helpless ; that is to say, the most numerous portion of the human race. Nothing can go beycnd the effrontery of the pretences of revolutionists except the atrocity of their practises. These miser giants have been eztrried away by the prospects which lately opened upon them of running riot in blood. They lizve revealed them selves with a happily indiscreet haste, and the well clisposed throughout Europa hove taken the alarm, In France itself, especially, even those who were at first led astray by the cunning lies of the revolutionists about the national honour of France having been insulted, now begin to see how grossly they were imposed upon, had to contemplate with wholesome dread, and justifi able indignation, the wicked devices of the promoters of revolution and of war. They complain with just alarm that all reverence awl all respect seem to be trampled under foot by these revolutionists, who regard no esta- Wished authority of God or of man, who scoff a!ike at ulliglt:n . and the laws. Their own wild project s are tht der.:ta. These they ignorantly worship—before blase, they appear to bow down with the most besotted and desperate idolatry. COLLET OF BANKRUPTCY. 0CT.20 EXTRAORDINARY CASE THE IMPERIAL BANKING COMPANY-IN THE MATTER OF RICHARD LAW. This was the day appointed for the choice of assig- 1 nces in the matt( r of this bankrupt, who was brought up in custody from the Fleet Prison. He was secrc tary to, and one of the partners of, the Imperial Bank ing Company, of which a branch had been established at 'Manchester between two and three years ago. The petitioning creditors were Messrs. Wright, the bankers, of Henrietta-street, Covent-garden. The bankrupt stated, that, except as a partner or shareholder in the Imperial Bank, he did not owe 20/. in the world, and that he was now in execution for debts of the Company. He had no available as sets, as his furn•ture was sold, and the messenger of the fiat had taken every thing except his watch. He had, however, a hundred shares in the Company, but as matters now stood they were worth nothing, and there were no means of paying the expenses of the fiat. The official assignee said the petitioning creditor must see to that, but it was extraordinary that a fiat should have been issued at all under such circumstances. The Learned COMMISSIONER asked who was wind- inl up the affairs of the banking company. The bankrupt replied that their affairs were in the Court of Chancery, but still his bankruptcy did not vitiate his character of Secretary and Director of the Company. Mr. Jerningham, of the firm of Wright and Co., bankers, claimed to prove for 1,4471. 17s. upon bills ac cepted by the bankrupt for the Imperial B ink. The official assignee (Mr. Johnson) said he could not tell what consideration had been given by the bankers for thew bills, es, from the very peculiar situation of the bankrupt, he had no books or vouchers of any de scription to produce. The Learned COMMISSIONER asked Mr. Jerningham what consideration he had given for these bits ? Mr. Jerningham said cash, by way of discount. Did the bankrupt keep an account with you ? He did. _ TETE QUEEN'S PLATE.—This . plate, which was recently presented to her Majesty by Mr. Apsley Pe'lett, is one of the finest specimens of engraving upon pure crystal in Europe. In the centre is an exquisite likeness of her Majesty, finished with a degree of feeling and care rot often to be met with in works of art, even ~ en steel or copper. Around the brim of the plate is a * • • , •sl frirze, copied from a work of the sculptor Thor. waidsen ; the smallness of the figures in which, and the elaborate minutem of the accessories, must have been the result of great labour, directed by the highest talent. A similar plate is exhibited by the courtesy of Mr. Apsley Pc:lett, to the curious and scientific, at his manufactory in Ilollend-street, Blackfriars, in the galleries attached to which establishment many other interestine specimens of works la glass • are deposited. The valuabl e ari d singu - lady beautiful irvention of crcrustiug medallions and other bodies in masses of glass has been patented ; and it is gratirsiog to find, that all the models and" forms to whirl' it is applied exhibit a perceptible advance in good taste. Perhaps one of the most novel Adaptations of the silent is that of encrusting in the very centre of a square ' b. ick" of glass the name of thlCbuilder of a house or p esic building., or the title of the person who laid the fi:st stone. It is certain that glass is less perishable than stems or brick. and thus a better means of carrying down to posterity the fact is more closely arrived at. THE ASSESSED TAXES.—Aftter extensive in ' cptilics and mature consideration, we have come to the con• cluoon, that the more immediate causes of the prevalent - di.scon:et as to the assessed taxes, are the statutory re gulations respecting surcharges. If a party, in furnishing a Csoen officer with a list of the persons or articles on arc ,unt of which he is liable to be assessed, omit s a ny o f (FURTHER PARTICULARS). them, the officer is empowered, in terms of the statute, to The cause of the fire in St. Ann e ' s - s quare is, it ap rectify the assessment, by assessing him anew "in double peares, still involved in mystery.

Through the kindness of one of our friends at Scar borough we are enabled to communicate to our readers a singular and affecting incident at sea t—On Sunday afternoon, the 4th instant, three little boys, of the names of Davis, 15, Carlisle, 14, and Fostil, 13, the two former fishermen's sons, were amusing themselves with an excursion on the sea, at Scarborough, in a small boat about 13 feet long, having with them only one oar and a small sail. The little fellows sculled themselves out to a distance of a few miles from land, when, think has succeeded in suppressing an unanimous manifesta tion of our sympathy fur the French Alliance and cur hatred for Russia. But these late revelations have not been sufficiently published. It requires time to con vince a confiding and uneespicions nation of the reality of a crime without e xample in modern angels. " But if this Minister is betraying his country, you, by directing your resentment against the English people, are combating p h a nt oms. You will tell me, perhaps, that this qeest ion of treason is an English Ipestion. But reflect, and you will find that it is a question which concerns France, Europe, and the world essentially. C al i it be indifferent for you to know whether a grea t Power, whose influence has induced the principal nations of Europ e to f orm an alliance against you, is herself, without her knowledge, the in strument This question ought in forFrance u the }'ourhepreseennt em to y ? absorb all other questions. Its solution includes our only means of safety. Happily in France, in examining this essential point, you are neither impeded by personal dislike nor by party preju• dices, which in E n gland retard in so injurious a manner the discovery of truth and have prevented all inquiry. And then w hat good results " Disabuse the Eng lish nati on by making this treason manifest, saved, and E ng l an d herself will w may not be expected from an al liance between two great Sates which had bee n for a m oment destroyed by the o e hrr safety and Feat to c y e e is . u crime of a Minister, but Was re-established by the ac• cordance of the two Pc°l , k! What Government in Englend can hereafter dare to say to the nation, that it ought to separate from you when this treason .shall have been brought to light and denounced by ,you ? It will then be your turn to impose the reign of justice on the world. " It is the treaty of the 15th of July which has crewed all the danger. Unveil in this treaty the. in trigues of a Cabinet ae.ainst its people, the treason of a single man against his colleagues, and all the ddli culties will disappear. " Be persuaded that England will never suffer, that war should be declared against you for the purpose of supporting this treason exposed by you. On the con trary, if you neglect this duty towards your nation and the world, war will ensuteee " During such a war, which has beta carefully .pro vided for. beforehand, while you and England were re posing in indifference and apathy, be cautious in aban doning yourself to the' , 4alse confidence that the glory of the empire will again be restored to you . . Military triumphs are produced by plans studied before. hand, but those advantages are 41 on the side of Russia " Frenchmen, your Misters ought by this time to be aware that it is the treaty of July itself, and not its con sequences, that they aught to resist. Tne possess the means of destroying this treaty by exposing the treason on which it rests. They - hive a powerful voice, let them declare the truth and England will rouse itself. " It e vvid then be far the Muscovite to tremble. Tide Power, whose strength consists in fraud, seduction, and intrigue, will disappear before the light of truth. Tnen your country and mine will have discharged a debt'of equity towards Poland, a debt which unites cur two people by an indissoluble bond ; then alone the inde pendence of Turkey will be secured against its protec tor e then Sweden may rest in security, then will cease the heroic agony of Circassia. " Frenchmen, I ought to warn you against another danger to which your country and mine are equally exposed. This danger is that our intestine discord leads us from the path of security. " However just and noble the object may be which parties pursue, if they do not conclude a truce between them the day that• the safety of the - country requires every arm and every heart, they will fail in the first duty of a citieen and a patriot. When parties do not rally to oppese the enemy, cavil war is inevitable, the nation is sacrificed to passions, and not only is the national energy ‘l:aninished by as much as is lost in intestine commotion, but those internal discords arc an enormous wOght thrown into the balance in favour of the enemy. " Twice your dissensions decided the fate of your great Napoleon. Twice foreigners prevailed through, these means alone over the genius and courage of your soldiers. You have cause to dread a new triumph . of Cossacks and Huns ; and let not the history of France terminate like that of Poland. For a people like you there is no medium between greatness and destruction. " Frenchmen, the same fate awaits England. We • have a common danger and common enemies. gated to you to warn you against those dangers, and convinced th a t y our nat i ona l position is identified with ours, permit me to addreSs the same advice to you which I gave - my countrymen. Let 'there be none, but Frenchmen,amongst }ou,, and Englishmen amongst. .us. It is thus alnmi that •• can 0 - esenemy• e ,.the , otherwise our deeiiirs Of liberty, constitution, and glory, avail vanish. A foreign yoke, shame and' desolation, await, us. A nation. 'divided against herself .must fall under the. attacks of an enemy, who will not fail to interfere in the diSpute, set one party against the other, and betray both. It is thus that Russia is ul cerating Europe and Asia, and that. she will subdue. the world. Is it in burning her own arsenals that England will diminish the dangers which threaten her ? At the moment when lam writing - this address a deplorable crime ,has been committed in your Ca pital. These maybe the acts of unworthy Englishmen or unworthy Frenchmen, but could the enemy do worse ? It is not by these base means that nations arc saved. No, my friends, it is the foreigner that must be attacked, and, that united, we will attack. " CHARLES ATTWOOD." lag they perceived some other boys corning out in a boat to fetch them back again, they hoist2d their small sail, and the wind blowing out from the shore, the boat was unfortunattly carrkd out to a further distance to sea. To their inexpressible grief the land at length Entirely disappeared, and, after mak;rig several fruitless attempts to regain the shore, darkness put a stop to all further endeavours, and a strong gale of wind forced them to a still greater distance into the eccan. When the morn ing returned not a speck of land could be discerned, and no sail hove in sight ; the situation of the three boys now became dreadfully distressing, not one of theta knowing how to make land, and not a single mouthful of provisions, or draught of water, b_log on board the it frail bark ; to add to their distress the oldest boy. Davis, fell sick, and continued in that state the whole of the day. The sun again act, kavieg them no pros pect of a rescue front a watery grave. The feelings of • their poor parents and friends on shore all this time were heart-rendiny, while all endeavours to discover them proved futile. Tuesday morning dawned, and after straining their eyes the whole of the day in search of a sail or land, and wearying b t ....emselves with fruit less toil, night rgain came on, and the three poor little fellows, overcome with fatigue, hungry, and be numbed with cold, laid themselves down at the bottom of the boat, and left themselves to the mercy of the wind and waves. On awaking in the morning. they were honor-struck to find their companion, Davis, dead. The little distressed mariners eescribed this as the worst of all. Fortunately, the sea all this time was tolerably calm, but the this d day passed over with still less hopis of deliverance. Wednesday night approach. d, but no friendly hand was stretched out to save the two youth ful mariners, who, with the lifeless corpse of their companion, continued to float upon the bosom of the waters during the fourth Light. In the afternoon of Thur*day they descried a sail in the distance, and wi:h eyes filed with tears they beheld a ship bearing towards them. Size proved to be a Dutch vessel, bound for Amsterdam. The captain immediately took the two boys on board his own vessel ; they were in a dread:ll state of suffering, having never tasted fool from Sunday afternoon. While the poor little fellows were being received in the Dutch vessel they perceived some of the sailors about to throw the body of their companion overboard. With affecting accents they be sought their deliverers to let them have the dead body of Davis to take back with them to Scarborough to his friends, but their entreaties were followed by a heavy splash in the water, and the body of the poor unfortu• nate fisherm in's boy was lost from their sight.

If this control had been wanted, it would require no great stretch of the imagination to conceive that inevitable ruin would have fallen upon the adventurers, in conse quence of there being no uniform system, and no re cognised body with whom individuals could treat, and that the hopes of the adventurers would have been soon blighted. It was, I think, partly to prevent such a state of things that the Corporation was created, and I am, moreover, of opinion that the Corporation, with re gard to the property of which the adventurers were in dividually seised, partook more of the character of a committee of management than of a corporation, for, by the charter which crested the Corporation, the mem bers of it were only to receive the rents and profits of pro pertyalreadynequired ; but the possession and inheritance were left undisturbed in the individual adventurers, ac cording to their respective shares and interest , . In this opinion I am eupportcd by the judgment f of Lord Hardwicke, reported in Atkyns's Cases, vol. p. 403. The name of the case is " The Cherit rble Corporation v. Sir Robert Sutton," where Lord Hard wicke is reported to have stated, " that committee men are most properly agents of those who employ them in this trust, and who empower them to direct and superintend the affairs of the corporation." There is one more point to which I wish to call attention, before I finally decide on this - claim. It is no; perhaps alto gether necessary, inasmuch as the facts already stated are sufficient of themselves to overrule the objections •which have been taken. The point, however, is with regard to the necessity under the charter of the adven turer being individually seised of 1.36 th share More he can be admitted a director, that is, into the body of 29 this being so, it is a clear answer to one of the objections taken when this case was a- geed, viz. that the claimant was disqualified, inasmuch as the disqualification st ited in the list was acquiesced in by him in his corporate charac ter ; that, howe‘er, is not the case ; for, as we have seen by the ch trier under which the appointment is made, h 9 is required to be in possession of the property, pre viously to his being admitted into the body of 29 With regard to this particular case of Mr. Astell's, the objection would be invalid on account of the c'aim beige for a Kin-;'s, and not an Adventurer's share, and of which latter share he is only a trustee. 1 hare now, I -think, disposed of the three objections taken by the agent for the objectors ; first, that the quAlification in respect of which the claimant required to be upon the ugister was only an easement. Secondly, that the pro perty was vested in the Corporation ; and lastly, that the property in respect of which the claim was made w:s vested in the claimant in his corporate character. I wi;l now conclude these observations by again referring to Lord Hard wicke, who stated "that the individual corpora tors have the property—the Corporation the manage mant, and that as to the King's share the Corpora tion has the 1411 estate, and the individual pro prietors the equitable estate. Has ing, therefore, after a careful investigation, arrived at this conclusion, I can decide in no other way than that the individuals claim ing as shareholders ot the New River Company have made out a sold lent qualification, and that they are entitled to have their names retained upon the register for the time being, with full right to exercise the elective franchise. I have now only to turn my attention to the amending the deseription in the list, and I think a proper description will be given of the nature of the qualdication by erasing the present desc:iption, and in serting " share of freehold tenement" in the third Co. lumn, and " the New River Company" in the last coitr - rin. The final result of the numbers gained by the Re formers is not yet male up, in cons' quence of two re turns not being sent in by the agents. We hope to give them on Friday. CHURCHES .AIND HAND-LOOMS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sett —I have just come from Devonshire, and have taken up my residence in Bethnal-green. In the nil-aer place, labourers are working twelve hours per diy for 7s. a week, and in the latter a hand-loom weaver* says, " If this, system continues we shall be in a worse condition than the Hebrews of old, wLo had to make hreks witholt straw, for we shall have to manufacture ilk without bread." Such is the state of things at present ; there is, however, one mitigating circumstance in connection with the suff_•rings of the millions of the sons of in dustry, viz., the brevity of their lives; for, true it is, although most distressing to rcfl2ct upon, the mechanics and artizans of this country only live out half their days ! Nature kindly interposes to relieve men from thcirsuff,..rings when they become unbearable. The poverty, distress, and crime of the neighbourhood in which I am writing, has f)r some time past been a crying evil. The local authorities have seen and de plored the evil. " Something must be done," say they ; and higher authorities have been consulted, who pro posed, and have determined, that ten new churches shall be built in the parish, which churches are offered to the hand-loom weavers and the inhabitants in general as the grand panacea for the evils under which they ;labour. It is true that nn new rate is to be levied on the parishioners for the erection of the churches in question, as they are to be raised by voluntary contributions, the church wilding fund giving towards the erection of each 1,0001. I have attended all the plices of worship in the parish, both Episcopalian and Dissenting, and have ob s-rved, with only one or two exceptions, that they are but thinly attended ; with this fact before my eyes I am not the least surprised to hear, when I converse with the weavers on the ...,übj ct of the tcn new churches, that their reply is " We asked them for bread and they have given us a stone." A tradesman would not think of enlarging his shop unless his business was on the increase, or he WAS cramped up for want of room. The mangers of a dis senting phce of worship would not think of building a new chapel, or of enlarging their old one, unless it were too small for the congregation therein assembling. Then, why are ten new churches to be built in Bethnal green, when the old ones are but badly attended? It may be said that the population is on the increase— what of thAt? Toe old churches do not fill. Or, it may be thought the present churches are too far apart ; and, therefore, it would be advisable to erect a church rear the threshbold of each man's dwelling,. If this be the idea entertained by the Church party, it proves that they arc not ignorant of the apathy and lukewarm vese , of the people as 04 these matters. '1 he Church, I verily believe, is unpopular, and cliurch-golug not at all in accordance with the taste of the people ; nevertheless, many douhtless would attend church who now stay at home, had they decent apparel 616t11e themselves with. If we enter our Roman Catholic places di veofship, we shall see men in rags, with beards of a week's growth at their devotions, anti c.17 - 1: - .nen on their knees whose garments seem to groan for tedsh;tub and :he needle.

A numerous meeting of the English and American residents in Paris was held on Sunday afternoon at Law son's (Hotel Bedford, Rue Sr. Honore), for the pur pose of drawing up a congratulatory address to the King on his late providential escape from assassination. The hour originally fixed was 12 o'clock, but in conse quence of its being Sunday a notice was posted up de terring the meeting till 2. Shortly after that hour seve ral gentlemen were in attendance. Mejor- General Sir John Doveton, having been unanimously called to the chair, explained in a few words the object of the meeting. Baron Merle, in propos;ng the first resolution, de scribed the deep feeling of indignation experienced by the British and American residents at the atrocious at tempt upon the King's life. The following resolutions were then proposed and adopted : •4 1. Resolved, that the British t.na American resi dents in Paris, enjoying the protection of the French Government, under the ,auspiees of hi s Melesty Louis Philippe, profoundly, indignant. at the ettempt upon the life of his Most Gracious 'MnIeStY: reeithat it is their duty, not only to a Sovereign whose virtues inspire re spect in all well-constituted minds, but also to the cha racter of their own nations, to express to his Nlajesty their heartfelt joy at this new interposition of Divine , Providence in his favour. " 2. Resolved, that the following address be adopted by this meeting. " 3. Resolved, that a deputation be appointed to wait upon the King with the addreEs. " 4. Resolved, that one of the committee be requested to ascertain through the regular channel when his Ma• i_ssty will be pleased to receive the deputation." The following address was then read : " TO THE KING'S MOST LXCELLENT MAJESTY. " We, the undersigned British and American resi d,2nts in Paris, beg leave to approach ycur Majesty to express our horror and indignation at the late attempt on your Majesty's most precious life, and to offer our let vent and sincere congratulations that Divine Provi dence has again shielded your Majesty, and rendered the attack abortive.

He also quoted a passage from the reply of the King to that address, in order to show the kind feelings of Louis Philippe towards the English and Americans-. The above suggestion was adopted and it #.7aS ar ranged that a meeting thonld be tailed by th e Ch a i rman to report his Maje6t) - s pleasure as to the time and manner of presenting the address. A vote of thanks was then moved to the Mailman, and similar votes to the gentlemen who had callod the meeting, and especially to the ptoptietti• tif the bedibrd Hotel, for the handsome Mauler in which he had lent the meeting the Use of his room, refusing, as on a former occasion, to accept any rcmuncraticn.

Oac testimonial, how ever, whi , :h Dr. Turnbull got by accident, a species of ' it will b e may yo 0 11 lapses lingua', was from the Director himself, who stated that he would not have allowed the experiment to be tried until he had well assured himself that the matter which the Doctor used could by no possibility be injurious. I trust that I shall have opportunities of watching the progress of this discovery, and I sh all not fail to keep you in formed upon it. It has one melancholy feature—it proves that the cupidity of some men is so great as to destroy all benevolent feeling ; that there are amongst us some who, in order to retain the emoluments of an office, would allow their fellow-creatures to continue to suffer. Hal the Abbe de l'Epee been still living, he would have hailed any one who could advance his bene volent work with jey ; his successors evidently aro not so. French, English, Americans, and Germans who vere present to- day, agreed in two things—the one, that Doctor Turnbull hal not been fairly treated, the other that he had completely succeeded. Oa the same subject Galignani's Messenger contains on Saturday the following remarks : " Dr. Turnbull, the inventor of a new method of operation on the Deaf and Dumb, yesterday made the experiments at the Institution, in the Rue St. Jacques, of which we gave notice on Wednesday, in the presence of several medical men, both French and English. S.)me &faculty was at first experienced, _in conse quence of the responsibility which would attach to the medical superintendent of the estiblishment in the event of the application being prejudicial to the health of the parties operated on, and also , from the unwillingness cl the boys themselves to submit to it. These difficulties were however, at length got over, and two boys, selected by the Director, were placed under Dr. Turnbull's hands, The application of his invaluable remedy was perfectly successful. In less than a quarter of an hour alter the application the boys were both able to hear distinctly the ticking of a watch at some distance from their ear, and also end ta voured to imitate different sounds made by Dr. Turn bull close to their ear, such as the words papa, mamma, &c., clearly showing that they • could distinguish a difference in sounds. Neither of the boys opera ted on were horn deaf and dumb, but had become so from disease. This told still stronger in favour of the plan of treatment, since Dr. Turnbull has, in the course of his practice, always found that in cases where the patient was deaf and dumb from birth the cure was more easy. Further experiments are to take place, and it is to be hoped that, for the interests of suffering hnmanity, no impediments will be thrown in the way of the full development of Dr. TurnbUl:e great dis covery." I have just learned that the French physicians have at last given way, and that after a strong remonstrance addressed to them, they have consented to give Dr. Tut nbull a full and fair chance. This, I believe, is al ha wanted. THE LUDLOW CASE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
