"THE S TAT ES M A N." pi• "The three great ends which a statesman ought to pro pose to himself in the government of a nation are—security to pos sessors; facility to a 'Quirers ; and hope to all."—Coleridge. On the 10th of October will be published, No. I. of " The States man," "a First-class Weekly Newspaper. Price sd. rnstamped, 6d. Stamped. paramcunt object or" The Statesman" will be to promote the interest of the entire nation, irrespective of party or personal consi derations. In Home Politics "The Statesman" will support those principles of our constitution which have been established by the will and reason of the English people, and will urge he extension of political rower in correspondence with the increasing tub lligence of the community. In accordance with these principle " The States man" will seek to correct the abuses and amend the defects of the representative system; it will support all measures for completin; the great work of commercial reform; it will aid in devel pi, g the municipal power of local bodies, with a view to a more faithful and vigilant administration of local affairs, and a more pro:opt execution of the measures required for promoting health and general well being. Vie subject of Education is one which now °couples the most anxious thoughts of all earnest thinkers. `• The Statesman" will endeavour to obtain the cordial co-operation of all those practical reformers to whom the public good is the supreme consideration. In pursuing this object, it will not confine itself merely to n discus sion of the various schemes which have been proposed for the educa tion of the labouring classes. The worst evils under which the nation is new suffering, spring mainly from the want of such a system of education among the middle and higher classes as would teach them to be more earnest In the tulfilmQnt of their duties. Without a reform in that direction we cannot expect much improve ment in the government of the nation from any system cf education for the poorer class. The principles of our own Constitution will be the guide in Foreign Policy, with a view to render it just, bold, at d uncotnpromisirg. " The Statesman" will act with those politicians who seek to aid and animate the Government in giving its corlial co-operation to foreign states struggling to develope a freedom cognate with oar own —a policy of alliance with constitutional governineu Is forming the only true and practical counter acting force to the dynastic combina tions now threatened In Europe As 7egards India, wide diversities of opinion prevail. " The Statesman" will endeavour to show that the time has come for organizing the Government of that vast empire in a manner alike consi4tent with the dictates of Christianity, the w lfare of India, and the true interests of Great Britain Party Politicians and Anti- National Journalists may try to show that, is India, these objects are irrcvmeheable. " The Statesman" will seek to unite those patriots who bellive that the national conacience,and an enlightened read for the national weal, equally demand that our Eastern Em: , re shall no longer be governed by the short sighted policy of Lendenhalt street. The s' art ing events of the la , t few years, no less than the pre.ent aspect of affairs, have taught politicians that the efficiency of the army is one of the first elements of national independence and na tional strength. "The statesman' will give its hearty support to the various measures required to make the army, in the largest muse of the word, efficient, and accessible to all ranks of her Ma jesty's subjects. Itt the Literary portion of the raper the main objnt will be to give the readers of " The Statesman" ful and accurate information as to what to going forward in the various departments of the Book world.

They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from he original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. T❑is method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful o oration, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication; and that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within the reach of the most econo mical, he has fixed the charges at the lowest scale possible.

AUDACI.)US ROBBERY BY A POLICEMAN AT SHIELDS. —Oa Saturday morning one of the recently appointed pelice officers of North Shields was apprehended by the euperintendent and lodged in one of the cells, on a charge of havier committed an audacious street robbery. His name is Robert Brown, and he came into the force about two weeks ago with a very excellent character. It seems that a seaman named William Hoskins had been locked out of the Sailors' Home, and had fallen in with the oCincer Brown. Brown had taken him to the Night and Day public-house, but the landlord could not give him quarters, and the sailor had subsequently turned on to the New Quay, where he fell asleep. He had been awoke during the night by feeling some one taking the hafidkerchief cif his neck, and then di-covered that the officer Brown was robbing him ; and some Iloilo time afterwards, upon coming to his senses, for he had been tipsy, he found that his pockets had been rifled by the policeman of his purse and money, a ring, and several other articles of property. As soon as the superinten• dent heard of the robbery, as we have said, he appre hended Brown, who has admitted his guilt to him. As Brown bus been very attentive to drunken men since he Came into the force, and had got the name of "an active officer" in that respect, it is not improbable that he may have eased some others of their superfluous cash who have been found in a similar predicament to the sailor. The magistrates have remanded him. GOVERNMENT PROTECTION TO EMIGRANTS FOR CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES.—As soon as an emigrant ship reaches the emigrant station in the St. Lawrence, at Grosse Isle, a few miles below Quebec, she is bearded by the Government Medical Officer. It there aro any sick on board they are landed and.remain at the hospital, at the expense of the Government, until they are cured. Immediately on the ship's arrival at Quebec, Mr. Buchanan, the Government Emigration Agent, goes on board. He inquires into all complaints, and sees that all the cenditnns of the Act of Parliament for protect ing emigrants have been strictly complied with. This he is able to do in a most effective manner, as, when ever an emigrant ship leaves the British port for Quebec, the Government Emigration Officer port at the forwards to him, by mail steamer, a list of every passenger, with their names, ages, sex, trade, &c. This list is always received by Mr. Buchanan a fortnight before the ship's arrival. He thus possesses every particular that may be useful to him in pretesting the emigrants, and direct ing them to where they can at once get suitable employ ment. II there be any just cause of complaint against the captain of a ship, justice is afforded by a summary law passed for the purpose, and Mr. Buchanan himself superintends the prosecution. The Government of Canada has issued a pamphlet upon the resources of the country and the prospects in store for the industrious of all classes who desire to make it the land of their adoption. This pamphlet, as well as full particulars of the through-booking system, by which emigrants are protected from the time of their landing until they reach their destination, together with maps of the Canadian Railways, showing their connection with these of the 'United States, continue to be issued g ra tuitously to all who a pply for th em , p ersona lly or 37 letter, at the offices of the Grand Trunk Railway at Canada, 21, Oid Broad-street, London, E.G. . DEATH OF EARL FITZWILLIAM, K.G. We briefly recorded in our columns yesterday the mournful intelligence of the death of the Earl Fitz william, at Wentworth-home ' near Rotherham, Yorkshire, bet ween 9 and 10 o'clock on Sunday morning, The sad event following so soon after the sudden•decease of the infant child of Viscount and Viscountess Milton, has plunged the family into deep affliction. The lamented earl, by the accounts received on Saturday, was reported to be going on favourably, and it was fully anticipated that he would ultimately recover, but a relapse took place at an early hour on Sunday morning, under which he rapidly sank. Vis:ount and Viscountess Milton, the Ladies Charlotte and Dorothy Wentworth-Fitz william, Hon. G. W. Fitzwilliam, M.P., and the Hon. Chas. W. W. Fitzwilliam, Mr. and Lady Mary ThompFon, Mr. and Lady A. Vernon, and other relatives were at Wentworth, and were pre sent at his dissolution. The deceased Chas. Wm. Wentworth-Fitzwilliam, Earl Fitzwilliam Norborough, county Northamp ton, Viscount Milton and Lord Fitzwilliam, Baron of Milton, county Northampton, in the peerage of Great Britain ; also Earl Fitzwilliam, county Ty rone, Baron Milton, county Westmeath, and Baron Fitzwilliam of Lifford, county Donegal, in the peerage of Ireland, was only issue of William, 4th Earl, by his marriage with Lady Charlotte Ponson by, second daughter of William, second Earl of Bessborough. He was born 4th May, 1786, and married Bth July, 1806, the Hon. Mary Dundas, fourth daughter of Thomas, first Lord Dundee. By his marriage with that amiable and charitable lady, who died in Nov. ' 1830, he leaves survivi ng i ssue three sons and sixdau;liters. The late earl, like his venerable father, was a stanch Whig in politics, and consistently supported all the measures of his party. Soon after he had at tained his majority, in 1807, he became a candi date for the representation of Yorkshire, in the House of Commons, the county only returning two members to that branch of the Legislature ; for it was not untill 1821, when the borough of Gram pound, in Cornwall, was disfranchised for "bribery and corruption" of the most flagrant nature, that -Yorkshi e had the privilege of sending four mem bers to Parliament. It was one of the most memo rable struggles on record, and certainly the most expensive contest that ever distinguished the annals of electioneering. Viscount Milton was supported by the Whigs ; Mr. Lascelles (afterwards Earl of Hare wood and grandfather of the present peer) by the Tories ; and Mr.' Wilberforce (father of the now Bishop of Oxford) by the Dissenters and inde pendent interest. The contest was carried on with doubtful success by the two party candidates for 15 days, but Mr. Wilberforce was at the head of the poll during the whole of the time. On the 16th day the election terminated in favour of Mr. Wil berforce and Viscount Milton, the numbers at the close of the poll being : Mr. Wilberforce Viscount Milton Hon. Henry Lascelles 10,990 The contest is said to have cost the three candidates near half a million of money, tee greater part being expended by the two aristocralic parties—Mr. Wil berforce's expenses being mainly defrayed by pub lic subscription. The vast sums expended by the Fitzwilliam and Lascelles families in that remark able contest were the means of cooling their party ardour for some years afterwards. As Viscount Milton he for many fur many years—from 1807 to 1830—represented that county in Parliament. In 1831 he was returned to the House of Commons for Northamptonshire, in conjunction with Viscount Alrhorp (the late Earl Spencer) ; and at the next general election in the following year was returned for the northern division of that county, with Lord Brudenell (now Earl of Cardigan), at the head of the poll, against Mr. Hanbury (late Lord Bate man) and Mr. Tryon ; but the following year he succeeded his father in the earldom, a n conse quently removed to the House of Peers. In the latter assembly he supported the free-trade mea sures of the late Sir R. Peel, and gave his indepen. dent support to the Earl of Aberdeen and Lord Palmerston's Ad nuini,tration. In 1851 he was made a Knight of the Order of the Garter. He was a Fellowof the Reyal Society(1811), aF.S. A. , and aF. G. S., and aD. C.L. He was in 1853 appointed a Deputy Lieutenant of North amptonshire, and was the patron of 26 livings. The deceased peer issticceeded in the hereditary honours and extensive patrimonial estates by his eldest son, William Thomas Spencer Viscount Mil ton (now Earl), horn 12th Oct., 1812, and married 10th Sept., 1838, to Lady Frances Harriet Douglas, oldest daughter of the Earl and Countess of Mor ton, by whom he has a youthful family. He was returned to the House of Commons in 1837 for Mal ton, and at the general election in 1841 he unsuc cessfully clutested the West Riding of Yorkshire. In April, 1846, he was again elected representative in Parliament fur Mahon, for which borough he sat to July, 1847. when he wa s elected for the county Wicklow, which county he has since represented in the House of Commons. His lordship is the Lieut.- Colonel of the West York Yeomanry Cavalry. The Fitzwilliam family is one of the most an cient of the aristocracy, the ancestor of that noble house having been ambassador of William I. when Duke of Normandy, and accompanied him to Eng land at the Conquest in 1066. It was once very numerous, 11 branches having subscribed their names to a pedigree made out in 1565. They were lords of Elmley and Sprotborough, in Yorkshire. Sir Win. Fitzwilliam,Lord of Elmley and Sprot bc,rough in 1117, was ancestor to S:r J. Fitzwilliam, 1353, who, by Elizabeth, daughter of Lord Clinton, had several sons. Edmund 3d son, was great grandfather of Sir T. F itz william, of Aldwark, who by Lucy, daughter and co heir of J. Nevile, Mar quis Montacute, had a third son, William, who was Vice-Admiral of the Fleet, and Treasurer of the Household, and created Earl of Southampton in 1537, dying without issue in 1543. Sir W. Fitz william, eldest brother of Edmund, was father of Sir John, who had six sons. J. Fitzwilliam, sixth son, was of Milton and Green's Norton, in North amptonshire, and was father of Sir W. Fitzwilliam of Milton, who was an alderman of London and sheriff in 1506, sheriff of Essex fn 1514, and North amptonshire in 1521. He had been educated under Cardinal Wolsey, amassed a large fortune, and died in 1534. His grandson, Sir W. Fitzwilliam of Milton, horn 1526, w as i n 1559 appointed Vice- Treasurer and Treasurer-at-War in Ireland, and finally, in 1588, Lord Deputy of Ireland. Sir J. Davies says, " Ho was very serviceable in the re duction of Ireland—first, in raising a composition in Munster ; afterwards, in settling the possessions of the lords and tenants in Monahan, one of the last acts of State, tending to the reformation of the civil Government, performed in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. His vigilance was very conspicuous iu the memorable year of the Spanish invasion, when the routed Armada, in its return, dared not to land in Ireland, except against their wills, driven by tempest, when they found the shore worse than the sea to them." He died in 1599. His son, Sir Wil liam of Milton, died in 1618, leaving William, who was, in 1620, created Lord Fitzwilliam of Lifford in Cie county Donegal, in Ireland. He died in 1644. His son William, the second lord, dying in 1658, his son Will i am , third lord, was further ad vanced,by being created Vi scoun t Milt on son earl, succeeded his f a th er i n 1719, Fitzwilliam of Tyrone, in I re l an d. Hi s John,aandcEe da: Earl second r and only enjoyed the family honours a few years, having died in 1728. William, his son, then became third earl, who, in 1742, was created an English peer by the title of Baron Fitzwilliam of Milton, in the county , Jf Northamptonshire, and in 1746 created Viscount Milton and Earl Fitzwilliam, of Nor borough in Northamptonshire. He died in 1756, and was succeeded by his son William, father of the late peer, the subject of this brief memoir. He was a man of considerable political influence, and in addition to the broad lands he possessed in this country and Ireland, succeeded to the extensive estates of his uncle, the last Marquis of Rocking ham. He held several high appointments in the State, and was in 1795 made Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. The earl made no pretensions to com manding talents or powerful eloquence, but he nevertheless had great political weight with his friends the Duke of Portland, Lord Spencer, Chas. Fox, and other political celebrities of the period. His lordship inherited the family honours and estates at the early age of nine years, possessed the earldom for 77 years, and ultimately became the father of the peerage, dying in February, 1833.

The following is written by an officer who wen . out in the ill-fated Transit : "Island of Bence, 220 miles from Singapore, Sunday, July 12. " Long before this reaches you the telegraph will have informed you of the total wreck of her Ma jesty's ship Transit, on whioh I was a passenger. " The casualty took place at half-past 9 a.m. on the 10th ; she struck on a sunken rock two miles from a reef, a portion of which is discernible at low water, and eight miles from the•mainland ; the sea was like a mirror at the time. The commander, Captain Chambers, and the master, were on the bridge ; the ship was steaming slowly, about four knots, and the leadsmen had just called out nine fathoms. We had not at first any just conception of the extent of the danger, but hoped that by throwing all the guns overboard we could possibly get her off. About 5 minutes elapsed, and I was proceeding along the troop deck to visit some sick men and officers, when I saw the water rushing with great violence along the floor of the engine-room, and in about another minute the fires were extin guished. I ran forward and ordered all the sick men out of the forecastle, that they might be at hand in case things turned out badly. On my reachin g the poop it was evident that she was settling down on her stern, leaning a little to the starboard ; and, though the sadiers worked like lions at the pumps, the water rose to the troll) deck and rushed into the saloon and cabins. Meanwhile - efforts were being made to secure some biscuits, pork, and rum, which were passed on to the forecastle, as it was evident the ship should be abai tdon ed. " While the soldiers were thus occupied under the direction of their officers the ship's crew were getting out their boats, and in about two hours they were all lowered. It took this length of time to effect this, as the heavy boats were midships and the Transit was fearfully undermanned. " The first boat lowered was despatched with the second lieutenant to Aminto, a Dutch settlement 16 miles off, to solicit assistance and a despatih boat to proceed to Singapore for a vessel to take us from this. " The remainder of the boats were now ready. The first embarked were the sick, a company of the 90th, and a company of the 59th, and they were landed on the reef. They had to be landed there, as if they proceeded to the island those on the ship would, in all likelihood, have sunk before the re turn of the boats. These were four times filled before all on the ship were in safety. The ship's crew, who were the last to leave, went at once to the island, and the boats then made three trips to the reef for those of us who were on it. It was dark before all were landed. This was not attained too soon, as the rock on which we stood gradually became covered by the rising tide, and was totally hid from sight before the last of us bad reached the land. "Except the clothes in which we sold, every thing was lost, except the firelocks of the so!diers, which they carried with them. It was impossible to save the knapsacks. " Thirty tons of powder, all the sh it and shells and small arm ammunition, all the stores, the medi cal comforts, commissariat tents and bagougo, in fact, everything has been lost. The vessel, how ever, has not yet sunk, though under water from the funnel sternmost, and split iu half bath on the port and starboard. The rock on which she split holds her securely until a gale of wind shall scatter her to pieces. " You will, as an old soldier, bs glad to hear that nothing could have been more truly heroic than the conduct of the men ; it was splendid, and worthy of antiquity, or shall I say of the British soldier ? When first the crash came all the men on the troop deck made a rush to the gangway, but Major Burn ston, 90th, ordered every man back to his mess. This command they instantly obeyed, though the ship was trembling like a frightened chill, and they could hear and seo the water gradually rising to their feet. Had this order not been given and obeyed, no biscuit or pork could have ben) saved ; and when at last the men were ordered on the quar terdeck to embark there was no rushing or confu sion, the first party moved off and the remainder stood at ease with the order and precision of a Sunday parade, though they could see and feel the ship gradually sinking. Some who could secure nothing else succeeded in securing their Bible's, and this morning, in the presence of wreck, we re turned thanks to that Almighty Saviour to whom we all feel indebted for our safety. "We have much to be thankful for. Hid there been a rough sea the ship must have gone to pieces, and it must have washed off the reef those who could have reached it. Thank God we are all alive, well, and on a very beautiful island, abounding in fresh water, pine apples, cocoanuts, and bananas. This day the pork and also some sails were secured, and we all under canvas. Colonel S--, Scots Fusileer Guards, is in command, and there is, in my opinion, no man better fitted for high command, as, with a temper most enviable, he has a calm ness, firmness, and self-possession which has proved of essential service to all of us. He was tho last of our party to leave the ship. " I trust that this disaster may lead the Ad• miralty to consider the propriety of sending out no more troops in transports not seaworthy, and the necessity of providing some means of lowering the boats speedily, and of having a sufficient number to rescue all on board, as, if we had not been so close to the shore, not a third of our number could have bee❑ saved. "From the hour we left Portsmouth we were in danger, as on leaving the deck the fau of the screw, which had not ben raised, came into collision with the dock. The fan was positively broken, and the concussion caused a leak aft which could nut be stopped. The Transit except the wind was on the quarter or beam, would not answer her helm ; the sails did not fit her, and were very old. On the 22d and 23d we lost the foresail, foretopsail, the mainsail, and maintopsail. The mainyald, made of indifferent timber, broke in half like a rotten stick, and one of the plates of iron of which the ship is built broke in two below water mark. I need not tell you that it was almost impossible to prevent the vessel from foundering ; indeed, had the gale not abated nothing could have saved us. You cannot conceive the extent of that danger. It may help you to do so when I tell you that on the 24th we pumped out of the wretched ship GOO tons of water. GOO tons ! At home you will esteem it a most unfortunate and disastrous occurrance that we should be lost. I believe there is not a soul among us who did not thank God; for our being wrecked where we were, as if we had proceeded to the Chinese Seas and met a typhoon, or even a heavy gala of wind, the Transit must have sunk, and all of us been lost. For my own part, I esteem it a most merci ful occurrence. " There is no doubt that we shall all have the sympathy of the people of England. I trust they will be not only merciful, but be as they ever are, just, and. not hastily blame the captain or the mas ter. It may not be right in a landsman to pro nounce an opinion, but, as I have now hal some experience, I can safely assert that no two men could have displayed more vigilance and anxiety — I might say painful anxiety—from the hour we left Portsmouth. They knew what we did not—our fearfl4l danger, but always displayed so much cheer fulness as really to lead us at times t o imagine that she was the finest vessel ever floated. "It will be remembered that the master navi gated the Himalaya in all the- rapid voyages she made in the last war, and is well known at the A- miralty as a most accomplished man. "Perhaps you will be so good as to have my letters forwarded, as I know not where I shall be, and have written to them to forward this to your office. " I have saved my writing-desk and Bible, and others a few trifles. I have lost to the value of al most 2001. ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.-LIVERPOOL, Monday.—A Liverpool gentl,.. man who was in the train telegraphs from London as follows :—An accident occurred on the London and North-Western Railway this morning. No lives have been lost, nor has any one been seriously injured. When the mail train, which left Lime-street, Liverpool, at 23 minutes past 10 on Sunday night, ha i reached within a few miles of Rugby, at two o'clock this morning, the passengers experienced a very severe shock. The car riage next to the guard's break-van had its windows broken, and was oth.irwit.e so much injured that it was taken off, and left at Rugby. The guird was very much bruised about the head and face. He was, however, well enough to come on by the train, but not in charge of it. Only one gentleman, who received a eeveie contusion on the forehead, remained at Rugby ; the other pas sengers were bruised and much shaken, but all went forward. No bones were broken. The engine-driver and stoker were injured. On investigation it was found that no less than three coupling-irons were broken— those which attachd the engine to the break vane. The engine, b-ing thus released, went forward with great speed, and it was 15 minutes before it returned. The cause of the accident is unknown, [PRICE 4D. STAMPED 51).] THS MUTINIES IN INDIA.

On the 17th of that month he issued the following proclamation to the troops in India:— "BY THE COINIMA.NDER IN CHIEF. " Her Majesty having been graciously pleased to appoint me commander in chief of the forces in In dia, in the room of the late lamented General the Hon. George Anson, and her Majesty having alto been graciously pleased to confer upon me the rank of General in the East Indies, I now assume the command of the army in India. "In doing so it affords me the highest satisfaction to find under my troops who have so fully proved them selves, in the recent arduous operations in the field, to be what I have ever known British soldiers in every quarter of the globe —courageous, faithful, obedient, and enduring. "In former years I have commanded native troops of India, and by their side I have been pre sent in many battles and victories in which they have nobly borne their part ; and it is to me a sub ject of deep concern to learn that soldiers of whom I have been accustomed to think so favourably should now be arrayed in open and defiant mutiny against a government proverbial for the liberality and paternal consideration with which it has ever treated its servants of every denomination. " When I join the force now in the field restor ing order to the district disturbed by the disaffection of the army of Bengal, I shall, at the head of the British troops, and of those native soldiers who, though few in number, have not feared to separate themselves from tneir faithless comrades, and to adhere to their duty, feel my old confidence that they will march to certain victory. " I shall not fail to notice, and the powerful Government which I have the honour to serve will not fail to reward, every instance of fidelity and valour shown by the troops under my command. " I call upon the officers and men of both Euro pean and native troops zealously to assist in the task before us ; and, by the blessing of God, - we shall nom again see India tranquil and prosperous.

MR. SPURGEON AND THE CRYSTAL PALACE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, —ln your paper of yesterday I find a para graph stating that Mr. Spurgeon has " nobly con sented" to peach at the Crystal Palace on Wednes day next. I regret that I fail to appreciate the matter in its " noble" light, and I think when it becomes to be considered by the public they will agree with me in the opinions I hold thereon. Sir, all places of amusement" are ordered to be closed by order of the Lord Chamberlain on the day in question, and consequently, as the Crystal Palace falls within that category, it cannot lay claim to any exemption. A scheme must therefore be de vised by which the motives of the directors may be applauded lather can condemned, while at the same time the end may be answered of exempting themselves from other "places of amusement." Mr. Spurgeon presents himself to their notice, is at once accepted, and bills issued announcing his "noble consent." The charge of one shilling is to be made for admission, and if that were all the directors might lay claim to some purity of intention, by devoting the pro ceeds to the Indian Relief Fund ; but when we find that, in addition to that charge, there is to be a collection made, and the collection only to be devoted Va the purposes of the charity, we cannot but feel that there is something more than meets the public eye, and some motives of a more interested character than that which devotes itself to the be nefit of the Indian sufferers. Moreover, sir, how grossly inconsistent is the announcement at the foot of the bills with which the city is at this moment placarded. After declaring the sacred character of the day—one for " solemn prayer and humiliation" —it states, "Trains will run at frequent i n t erva l s ." Sir, has Mr. Spurgeon any feeling—have the Crys tal Palace directors any concern for the souls of those unfortunate engine-drivev, ticket-collectors, S-c., who must necessarily be engaged on that day ? What prayer will they be allowed to offer ? What humiliation will they be permitted to evince ? The day will be to them one of hard and wearisome toil, and thus the generous spirit of the government in fixing one of the days of labour, so that man might have no excuse for not attending his church or chapel, will be in a great measure frustrated. What a spectacle must the interior of the Crystal Palace present on Wednesday next ! Gaiety and exciting pleasure will prevail (for the directors, if ever so disposed, cannot remove the ordinary attractions), and usurp the place of humiliation and prayer — thus will the day be made one of mirth and revelry rather than self-abasement and supplication. It is to be hoped that the intelligent portion of the public will not lend themselves to the move ment. There is plenty o f room in our several churches and chapels for all to offer up prayer,_ i and t Crystal further, there many true labourers in God's callingvitieo tns of their intheaii people. d T ofr.Spurgeonho aysasridst NV o l i t e h in OU e t ditaio Palace is the very last place for so solemn a service. A public exhibition is no suitable edifice for humi liation and prayer, to entreat the Almighty. to re move one of the most fearful national calamities ever inflicted. I trust, sir, you will find this a place in your valuable columns, in which event I doubt not that the remarks, feeble though they be, will reap, i❑ some degree at' least, that effect so earnestly in tended by, sir, your obedient servant, J. M. W. October 5. Last night at nine o'clock, after the evening service at New Park-street Chapel, a meeting of the deacons and committee of the Rev. Mr. Spur goon's congregation was held in the vestry of the chapel, for the purpose of making and finally adopt- !-~~. ~Cr~ L ~~~ 00 ,3 , P: . 1 . : R q\- ilg the 'various regulatiozA3o $l3 e ,tlll occasion of their Proceeding alao to-morrow, the great 'day,: r the present revolting rebelli•atr*i_a-4iiifirfa*l Ilia. The Rev. Mr. Spurgoja4i424:tot filtascift, bei engaged in preaching at Calb4ridiet ancEihe genera arrangement was left to Mr. Olney, sen., his prin cipal deacon, and his son, relative to the appoint ment of persons to act as collectors in obtaining contributions in aid of the fund. On Sunday last, at the Surrey-gardens, Mr ; Spur geon intimated he required the assistance of from 200 to 300 persons, but before the service of last evening upwards of 500 applicants presented them selves, although the office was honorary, with...the exception that each person was to receive a feturn ticket by the railway and a free ticket of admis sion to the Palace. A list was made out, and upwards of 200 were appointed last night, each person receiving his tickets, accompanied with a printed copy of the following rules and regulations, which are to be strictly cbserved : "The collectors to meet in the centre transept as root after eight o'clock in the morning as possible, awl in any case not later than nine o'olock. To take up their appointed positions immediately upon their being shown them, and continue there till after the collection is made; The collection will be made immediately after the sermon, during• the organ voluntary. Collecting boxes to be brought in to the cashier's office, in the corridor behind the Handel orchestra, after the service is over. Col lectors not to hurry in bringing their boxes down after the servics, but to wait till some of the crowd is dispersed over the building. A train kir 'the collectors to start from the London-bridge station at 7.50. Other trains to succeed at as frequent inter vals as necessary." In addition to the collectors, above 100 young men and youths were appointed to sell copies of the hymns to be sung, and with the same privilege of transit and entry. The programme being-:- Ist, the Old Hundredth ; 2d, Our God, our help in ages past ;" then Scripture Lesson, Prayer, Ser mon, Collection, Hallelujah Chorus, and Benedi•- tion. It is believed 50,000 persons will be present. Naval and Military Intelligence. On Saturday 50 non-commissioned officers and men, belonging chiefly to the let Royals, the 31st, and the 92d Highlanders, arrived at St. Mar) 's Barracks, Chatham, in charge of Lieutenant F. Y. Cassidy, the 31st Regiment having been sent home from Gibraltar on account of their unfitness for further service. As soon as the troops have been inspected by a Chelsea board of officers they will be discharged from the service. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steam vessel Avon, tender to the flag ship at Devonport, arrived at Woolwich on Sunday evening, bringing Captain Charles M'Arthur, First-Lieutenant John Cairn cross, First-Lieutenant Albert Higman, Second- Lieutenant C. H. Stanbridge, and 40 rank and file of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, paid off at Plymouth from the screw steamship Orion, 91, late from North America and the West Indies. The Avon is to return to-day to Devouport. The Diligence naval transport having discharged her cargo at Woolwich, from Gibraltar, was yester day docked f , :r repairs, and the harbour-service frigate Bacchante was yesterday despatched to Chatham in tow of the steamers Monkey and Widgeon. The Conqueror, 101, screw, Captain Yelverton, C. 8., arrived at Gibraltar, on the 25th ult., from Lisbon. The extra riggers lent to the Agamemnon, 91, screw, at Devonport, have been discharged to their respective yards, the seamen being sufficient to per form the duty required. With a view to extending the use of Clifford's boat lowering gear in the naval service generally, the Lords of the Admiralty have ordered models of the necessary fitting's to be received at Woolwich, so t at the system may be cariied out in her Ma jesty's ships. Two r e ma r k a bl e cases o f th e efficiency of the system occurred on b o a r d th e screw frigate Shannon, 51, Captain Peel. When under full sail, and with heavy press of canvas, the boats were lowered and lives were saved without staying to round the ship to, or in any way slacken her speed, as in the case of the Transat lattit-, narrated in The Sun of yesterday. Wh.t was looked on as foolhardiness in the in ventor nine months since by naval men of any ex perience, when in the gale of January lagt ho manned a boat with a full crew, and taking his plme with them lowered it from just behind the paddbiwhoel of the steamship Dee, the vessel being then at full speed, has now become a matter of re peated practical application and utility, shown to be the mere result of simple mechanical principles. Mr. Clifford has .exempiifip.4 rinaig. cme_ hundreds of times, by being lowered from vessels of all kinds at most of our seaport and dockyard towns from Aberdeen to Plymouth. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty : Lieutenants H. Hand and A. H. Webb (addi tional), to the Vesuvius, for disposal ; Charles G. Jone., mate, to the Excellent ; Edward Denny, mate, to the Cornwallis ; Henry R. J. Pearch, acting second-master, to the 'Urgent ; C. R. K. Smith, midshipman, to the Styx ; Walter Stewart, midshipman, to the Diadem ; S. S. Smith, mid shipman, to the Hastings; C. E. D. Willcox, mid shipman, to the Hawke. THE MILITIA. The Lancashire Militia Artillery assembled at the Islington Barracks, Liverpool, yesterday morn ing. The muster-roll was considered highly satis factory. _ _ The 7th Lancashire Rifles are becoming a 'most efficient regiment. On Friday the officers waited on Lieutenant-Colonel Madcoks, commanding, to state that they and their men were anxious to be embodied and willing to go wherever their services were required. Their gallant chief promised to re present their wishes to the proper authorities. The corps is armed with the new rifle. The Cardiganshire Militia has assembled for training. The regiment is in an efficient state. The Royal Carmarthen Rifles have just con cluded their period of training. The regiment numbers 200 men. THE "HIGHLAND BORDERERS."—The offer of service in India, made by the " Highland Bor derers," has been approved at the Horse Guards. It now remains with the War Minister, says the Edinburgh Courant, to carry out the wishes of this gallant regiment. The regiment would muster 1,000 men. The Royal North Glocester Militia is to be embo died. The present head-quarters are at Cirencester. PROMOTION IN THE ARMY. " It bas been said that " In the service of the Queen there never was a general officer rose from the ranks." We have no doubt there have been many. One at least might be mentioned—the late General Francis Craig. There were two other general officers of the name in the service at the same time with himself—General Peter Craig and his brother General Sir James Craig ; but Francis was a private in the Foot Guards, and thence pro moted to be sergeant for his good conduct. In this position he attracted the notice of the old Duke of Cumberland, brother of George 111., who was so pleased with his intelligence, at a time when the sergeants were really the officers of the Guards, that he gave him a commission in the regiment—his Royal Highness being colonel. After a very short time Mr. Craig begged the Duke to allow him to resign his commission, and to go back to his hal bert, on the ground that his brother-officers ell cut him, with one exception, that of a very young nobleman, afterwards a general officer, and at his father's death an earl. The Duke refused i to ac cept the resignation ; and at the next i nspec tion of parade was over, said, , 11 m e r. regiment, ira g, sashalsloboen as glad to see you at dinner to day if not already engaged." Craig went, and was a t , t and to ma they cavalryr . introduced to a party of . noblemen of the highest consideration. The invitation was repeated on two or three o ccasions,. the story spread among the offi e a c civil,fetr afterwards but rd t h s e exrn: cordial,atmngeenregiment, e T nheot latteroannlyd Craig.be saw a good deal of service in India, where he rea lised a large fortune. At last he rose to be a general officer, obtained a regiment of dragoons, and, whe n he died, left his property to the noble earl who, as a youngster, had been civil to him at the mess. A CClDENT.—Yeaterday morning a shocking accident occuired to 'Alias Hannah Leroy, a maiden lady of for. tune, residing in King-street Soho, which, it is feared, will oe attended with fatal results. She was sitting in the parlour, at breakfast, when it is supposed a spark of fire from the parlour grate ignited her clothing, and the unfortunate lady found herself suddenly enveloped in flames. Her screams brought the inmates to her assist. ance, one of whom bad the presence o f mind to roll her in the carpet, which put out the flames, but she is so fearfully burnt about the head and face, that no hopes are entertained that she can survive. She is over sixty years of age.
