SLAVERY----JVHAT IS SLAVERY TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sir,—There is hardly a single handicraft, exclusive of those exercised in the production of the most indispensable necessaries of life, which has not its periodical undulations of high and low demand ; now, a season when work is abundant, and wages consequenCy high ; on the other hand, a season when employment is scarce, and the gains of the workman necessarily small. The great sea of British industry has, in fact, Ps ebbs and flows, with this unfortunate peculiarity, however, that many departments of labour are doomed to be continually depressed, both at one and the same time—whether in ;cod times or bad times it is all alike to them. on • does not need to look far, though he needs to look coolly, in order to see and convince himself that a large proportion of the troubles of society arise from this depression of the hard working lower classes, and hence this thorny question—what is slavery ? There is, I am happy to say, a growing interest going on at the present period regarding the condition of that portion of our population inhabiting as it were the debatable land lying between the dominions of poverty and crime—the access from the former to the latter being so easy and rapid, and so frequent, that the attent. ; ,on of philanthropists and influential men has been aroused to endeavour to withdraw them, if possible, from ground so dangerous and slip pery. And, certainly, there should be an experiment made to furnish remunerative employment to such a class of individuals, and, at the same time, to arouse them from their state of apathy and ignorance ; to carry on their education begun, perhaps, in the Ragged School, or elsewhere ; to awaken within them good dispositions; to form them to good man ners; and to engage their hearty co-operation in plans devised for their benefit, which must eventually aim, however slow, at their gradual emancipation from abject poverty and misery. We frequently hear all this declaimed against as resting on an absurdity. What, we are frequently asked, is there degrading in work ? There is nothing, I say, degrading in work ; but, nevertheless, people continue to estimate each other by the nature and circumstances of their respective employments, preach to the contrary as long as you like. The fact is, it is not in the work itself, but in the conditions of the work that we see such grounds for complaint, where men, women, and children are compelled to toil and work incessantly, without the least com miseration or compassion shown towards them. To those whose minds take pleasure in successful results, any attempt, however small, being made towards the amelioration of the condition of the millions, must, and will, be received with a cheering welcome —in other words, any eagerness directed towards those who are thrown on the world to battle with its temptations and endure its worst privations, in homes where dirt and filth reigns predominant, and whose human forms have lost all trace of that come liness and beauty which the great modeller of the universe has stamped, more or less, on us all—and , again, to press them on by every entreaty towards that great calling of improvement, and to see that they do not sink back again into that physical and moral degradation out of which such an earnest attempt is being made to rescue them This, if fully carried out, wou'd indeed, be something like striking at the root of the evil, instead of lopping off a few of its topmost branches— " To wake the soul by tender strokes of art, To raise the genius, or to mend the heart," And this rule applies more espec:ally to the children of the poor, to see that they are well cared about and seen after, for certainly, looking at the swarm of them we meet in our every-day walks we cannot help speculating within ourselves the d• - scription of homes t-- hP :y spring up in, and the dangers they hourly encounter; and how it often strikes us with wonder th a t they contrive to struggle up, even to that early phase of infantile life when they first appear on the surface of society—society which, from their very birth, seems entirely set against them. Poor little wretches ! It is enough to puzzle one how they grow up to be men and women. Very likely not one fourth of them do. But replenish the earth we are told. With what ? With lives so f. ail, that their necessary and swift decay is to death. Must the many, then, be sacrificed for the few ? We boast of the progress of our arts and sciences, but we too often forget the cost of such progress. Surely God, who ordained man to eat bread in the sweat of his brow did not ordain that he should eat it in suffering, in the rotting of his vitals, the perilling of his soul, and the welcoming of a premature end —such an agonising end, as might be fancied, is the death struggle of the shipwrecked mariner who perishes in sight of shore and home. Unquestionably not, and, therefore, it should be one of the most hope ful signs of the day to see another system estabted, —a system that will show us that masters take a lively interest in their servants, by endeavouring to assuage their grievances, by endeavouring to afford them comforts in prescribing their hours of labour, healing them when sickness overtakes them, provid ine them with recreation, establishing reading rooms for their use, delivering lectures to them on all sub jects of interest and information, cheapening their necessaries, recommending their food and drink. assisting them in arranging their houses, and keeping them in hot water occasionally to wash both their skin and their clothes If all such matters were brought to p tss they, as employers, would, at least, carry out schemes of this hind for their own good, and the working man would, doubtless, highly appreciate them, and feel more grateful to his earthly providers, by so far lessening his dangers, than men in general feel towards Divine Providence for all his good and excellent gifts to them. It may be argued by some, on the other hand, that they would receive and treat all these things as a something that they shou'd have, as a matter of course—that - they would only look at the gratuitous, or half-gratuitous aid they received as nothing more than belonging to their rights. Very well, let them think so. It is quite correct and feasible that they should foster such ideas so long as they labour and toil hard for their living, and such inspiring thoughts would unquestionably tend, in a very great degree, to raise them from the common order and refuse of society— that degraded, depraved, and lost portion of man kind, with whom they are doomed too often to inter mix. When this is looked to and accomplished, we shall see, as we desire to see, work really set upon golden feet, and to see, moreover, the artisan and handicrafts raised out of ignorance to intelligence, and out of their fallen state to cherish a becoming pride and self respect. One word more. All pro 4ects for the benefit of the class that are literally in the hands of usurpers of authority, should be looked at and entered into with a certai❑ amount of discre tion and cautiousness ; their advice when given should be given kindly and considerately, and then it would be listened to with attention a!ld accepted with all due regard; and those wishes made known, which practically can be carried out, should be so far warmly responded to, so as to make them agents, if I rnLiy so speak, of their own ideas, in order that they may urge others on to seek, and work out, their own salvation " Will is might," and when was that motto ever known to fail, when accompanied by a spirit undiscouraged by obstacles ? Then let it not be said of them, that they turned a deaf ear to their entreaties, and " crossed over on the other side." Yours, ecc., VERITAS. Dec., 1856. THE POLICE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sir ) —ln the Daily Post of this day is reported, a case headed " Extraordinary Conduct of a Police Constable," and which, the upright judge, Mr. Mansfield, dismissed in these words, which I quote from the Post:—" Sir," (to the constable 218) "your conduct is abominable. Here is a respect able young man, who was standing waiting for his friends, and you lock him up for forty-eight hours, without any real offence. The young man is dis charged." Mr. Editor, I was looking at the occurrence, along with, perhaps, forty others; and I have been seldom more disgusted in my life, than with the savage assault and conduct of 218 ; so much so, indeed, that I went to the station house, with several others, to bear witness to the inoffensiveness of the accused, and the barbarity of 218 towards him. Three or four times he pounced upon the young man in the street, collaring, throttling, and shaking him about, as I thought, with the object of provoking the other to physical resistance. I now charge, not only 218 with this "abominable conduct," (in the words of the worthy magistrate), but, I must also charge the inspector of that locality —Scotland Road—with abetting such conduct on the occasion in question, by the way he received the charge of 218. It appears now, the inspector never had that young man before him previously, and yet he decided as if he had had—by giving the latter a bad character—which induced me and two others to go away without giving evidence in his favour. And now, let the whole truth go forth ; the accompanying letter, which I wrote a month ago, but which has never been published, brings the same charge of abetting, home to the very head of the force.—l am, Tuesday, Dec. 23, 1856. JOHN H. GREENE TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sir,—My knowledge of men has taught me this lesson—to look on every action which is the result of deliberation as the expression of some feature, constitutional or acquired, in the actor's general body of habit. According to this principle, every action is not only a fact in itself, but it is also generally 'the index of a series of similar facts which have preceded it, and the promise of another series of like facts which are to come. Acting on this principle, I reported to Major Greig, on Monday last, two of his men, police officers 151 and 163, for deliberately kicking about the dirty street of Scotland road, the perishable commodities of cabbage and onions, by which two poor widows strove to floater out a miserable existence for their little ones. And, acting on this same principle, I now think it my positive duty to let the public know how those charges were investigated by Major Grieg on Wednesday last, It was after nightfall on Tuesday when a gentleman, apparently an Inspecting officer, called to my address, with my letter to Major Grieg in his hand, to let me know that, on the morrow, at three o'clock, the matter of my letter would be investigated, and asking me more than once if I would attend. The investigation came on accord- ingly, before the Major and two gentlemen, members, I suppose, of the watch committee. Beingcalled, I was asked by Major Grieg what I had to say against 151, who was then present. I reiterated the particulars stated in the letter which the major had before him, namely, that, as I was going up Scotland-road on Saturday night last, about eight o'clock, my attention was attracted to a crowd upon the flag way, which was sympathising with a poor woman, whose basket of onions I myself saw scattered in the miry channel, but that I did not see the constable commit the act for which I reported him upon the evidence of several persons in the crowd. Being asked what he had to say to my charge, the constable denied it. Major Greig then turning to me reminded me how careful I ought to be in making such a charge upon the information of others, and without seeing the offence committed, of which that charge was the subject. I assure you, sir, I stood half astonished when I found that I had come in for reprimand instead of 151, and that the case was thus to terminate in the very teeth of the facts mentioned in the letter before the council. These being some of those facts, so mentioned, which are hero expressed in the words of the letter—" The poor hucks ter's name whose little property was so treated is Mary Roach, and she lives at No. 24-court, Paul-street baths, in that neighbourhood. Mrs. Crowley, of 47, Raymond street, is an eye witness ; and Mr. John Boyle, engineer, of No 4, 45-Thomas-court, Hornby-street, is another eye witness. Several others offered their evidence but I did not deem it necessary ; and on my going away the last named witness can testify that I was followed by two Women, one of whom affirmed she saw the policeman 151 coming out of a public house immediately before the act, and several affirmed he was drunk." But if I was surprised at what;:the Major said to me in the face of those facts, he seemed to be quite taken by assault when I assured him that those very witnesses were present outside waiting to be called ! Mr. Boyle stated that he was going down the street at the time in question, walking immediately behind the defendant, whom he saw, without any provocation, deliberately raising his foot and kicking a poor woman's basket of onions about. Witness further stated that the woman and the basket were not on the flags but in the street. Mary Roach stated that she is a poor widow with five in family, and that the officer on duty, 151, spoiled two shillings worth of onions on her and left them on her hands. That he kicked her basket without saying a word, and with cut it being on the flags. In reply to the major's question, how that could injure them, Elbe said that wet causes onions to heat. After all this, the major turns round to me and said, can you believe it—that that big man is capable of doing such an act, he denies it, don't you believe him ? My reply was, that I had no control over my crednlity, that belief is not optional, but the result of conviction, that con viction is the result of evidence, and that the evidence is before us ; concluding by sayine. respectfully, that I did not believe him. Upon this reply, which is here given in almost the identical words used on the occasion, the major intimated that I could leave the room. I instantly complied, requesting that the other witness might be called in, and giving as a further and most conclusive reason for holding the accused capable of committing the act with which he stood charged, that the remaining witness if called in would testify that she saw him not only kick the basket, but about the same time (a little previous) she saw • him knocking down a little girl who stood in his way, throwing her in the sloppy street. Hear ing this, one of the two other presiding gentlemen observed, that that made a second charge against the accused. Again I requested to have this important witness examined. but the Mejor refused, saying they had enough ! The witness had to go without being called, and I had to go without being asked one word in reference to the second charge which I had made in the same letter to Major Greig against another of his men, 163 ! Seeing, at the outset, how little of the judge and how much of the advocate the head constable was betraying, I thought to give the public a verbum vsrbo report of the whole investigation, and was proceeding to take notes, when the gallant gentleman informed me that it was not allowed in his room. Ido not object to this, nor complain of it; and I mention it merely as an incident which has some significance. Nor do I complain now of the unfortu nate officer who so defied the very principle of civil order, which he is paid to maintain. I complain at present of nothing but the M ijor's part in this inquiry, fearing very much lest it may be an index to a series of similar parts which mighthave preceded it, and the promise of another series of like parts which may be yet to come.—l remain, Sir, very humble servant, J. 11. GRICENE. Soho street, Nov. 20, 1856. _ _ P.S.—This immediate good may result fr - m this totter, that if the complaints against certain members of the force should continue to increase, as they do notoriously at present, the public may alter the venue and regard them as civil offenders amenable to the civil magistrate. J. H. G. We read in the South Eastern Gazette that since the Lord Chancellor, having purchased the estate of Holwell, has become, during the vacations, a resident in Kent, it has been suggested that the Kentish barristers and solicitors should express their satisfaction at this event by inviting his lord ship to a public dinner. We understand that the subject was mentioned a few days ago to Lord Cranworth, whose answer was such that steps will shortly be taken to give effect to this suggession. The projected dinner will taka place in Canterbury. RECIPROCATION OF ROYAL COMPLIPIENT3 AND FAV)URS. —lt was not the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, but the Broad Riband of this Order, which the Marquis de Moustier lately delivered to the King of Prussia in the name of the Emperor Louis Napoleon. The Grand Cross was lately conferred on Prince Freidrich Wilhelm in the early days of his present stay in Paris ; the Broad Riband is the first class of the Order, generally conferred on reigning monarchs, while the Grand Cross is only the third. The equerry, or head groom, who took over to Paris the four horses the King lately sent as a present to the Empress, has received from the Emperor a golden snuff box, with the Imperial cipher on it set in diamonds, and inside the box were 2,000 francs for the two attendant grooms. From another side— namely, from Said Pacha, the Viceroy of Egypt, the King has been presented, in return for some beautiful vases from the Royal Porcelain works here, with four splendid Arabian stallicls, the beauty of which, if the private reports that have reached this place from Cairo are to be trusted, exceeds any thing that the Desert has for many years contributed towards the ennobling of the equine race. THE NORTHERN TIMES.- - LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY. TO the CONTRACTORS of the LIVERPOOL, CROSBY, and SOUTHPORT RAILWAY. Gentlemen,—l think, added to the insult alluded to in the letter in the NORTHERN TIMES of this morn. ing, we have reason to feel much more offended at the idea of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company rating our ability of swindling at the low rate of ten shillings—the sum required by them as a deposit for our honesty. I see no exause for levying this toll; unless it be, that some persons have lost their tickets. and the company suspect that some one is making an improper use of them; in which case, let the company insist upon their collectors examining all the contracts, and take no one's word for his being a contractor, until the culprit be found out---charging the loser ten shil lings for his negligeuee when the ticket is returned to him; and if the present increase is to prevent any one travelling after the expiration of the contract, let the colour be changed, or surely some means can be discovered of preventing an occurrence which can possibly happen but very rarely. If the company want to raise a few hundred pounds in a quiet way, I think they have chosen the noisiest way of doing so ; and all those with whom I have conversed can see no other object than obtaining a small loan by paltry deposits from the contractors of ten shillings each, to guarantee the return of a piece of pasteboard value one farthing. The company must know that a number of deaths and lepartures will t Ike place during the time of the contrast being in force, and as few, if any, will be at the bother of re-collecting the money deposited with them, those additions will naturally fall into the profit and loss account. I think we ought to require some guarantee that the company will be able to fulfil their portion of their contract, and ought to be compelled to make a deposit in some bank equal to the expense that each contractor would incur, in .case of the com pany not fulfilling their engagements. " Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander."—Your's truly, DAILY TRAVELLER. A CALENDAR OF FIRESIDE SAINTS. (From Punch's Almanac.) ST. BETSY.—St. Betsy was wedded to a knight who sailed with Raleigh and brought home tobacco, and the knight smoked. But he thought that St. Betsy, like other fine ladies of the Court, would fain that he should smoke out of doors, nor taint with 'bacco smoke the tapestry. Whereupon the Knight would seek his garden, his orchard, and in any weather smoke sub Jove. Now, it chanced as the knight smoked, St. Betsy came to him and said, " My Lord, pray ye, come into the house ;" and the knight went with St. Betsy, who took him into a newly-cedared room and said, " I pray, my Lord, henceforth smoke here, for, is it not a shame that you, who are the foundation and prop of yonr house, should have no place to put your head into and smoke ?" And St. Betsy led him to a chair, and, with her own fingers, filled him a pipe ; and from that time the knight sat in the cedar-chamber and smoked his weed. ST. PIIILLIS.—St. Phillis was a virgin of noble parent age, but withal as simple as any shepherdess of curds and cream. She married a wealthy lord and had much pin money, but when other ladies wore diamonds and pearls, St. Phillis only wore a red and white rose in her hair. Yet her pin money bought the best of jewellery in the happy eyes of the poor about her. St. Phillis was rewarded. She lived until four score, and still carried the red and white rose in her face, and left their fragrance in her memory. kl ST. NOR AM.—St. Norah was a poor girl, and came to England to service. Sweet tempered and gentle, she seemed to love everything she spoke to ; and she prayed to St. Patrick that he would give her a good gift that would make her not proud but useful; and St. Patrick out of his own head taught St. Norah how to boil a potato. A sad thing. and to be lamented :that the secret has come down to so few. ST. PHCEBE. St. Phos , )e was married early to a wilful but withal a good hearted husband, He was a merchant, and would come home sour and sullen from 'Change. Whereupen, after much pondering, St. Phrebe in her patience set. to work, and praying the while made of dyed lamb's wool a door mat. And it chanced from that time, that never did the husband touch that mat, that it did'nt clean his temper with his shoes, and he sat down by his Phcebe as mild as the lamb whose wool he had trod upon. Thus gentleness may make miraculous door mats ! ST SALLY.—St. Sally, from her childhood, was known for her innermost love of truth. It was said of her that her heart was in a crystal shrine, and all the world might see it. Now once when other women denied, or strove to hide, their age, St. Sally said, " I am fine-and thirty !" Whereupon, next birthday, St. Sally s husband, at a feast of all their frienrlQ, gave her a necklace of six-anal-thirty opal beads ; and on every birthday added a bead until the beads mounted fourscore-and-one. And the beads seemed to act as a charm ; for St. Sally, wearing the sum of her age about her neck, age never appeared in her face. Such, in the olden time, was the reward of simplicity and truth. ST. LILY.—St. Lily was the wife of a poor man, who tried to support his family, and the children were many, by writing books. But in those days it was not as easy for a man to find a publisher as to say his Paternoster. Many were the books that were written by the husband of St. Lily, but to every book St. Lily gave at least two babes. However, blithe as the cricket was the spirit that ruled about the hearth of St. Lily. And how she helped her helpmate ! She smiled sunbeams into his inkbottle, and turned his goose pen to the quill of a dove! She made the paper he wrote on as white as h9r name and as fragrant as her soul. And when folks wondered how St. Lily managed so lightly with fortune's troubles, she always answered that she never heeded them, for—That troubles were like babies, and only grew the bigger by nursing. rt 4 ST. BECKY.—A very good man was St. Becky's husband, but with his heart a little too much in his bottle. Port wine—red port wine—was his delight, and his constant cry was " bee's wing." Now, as he sat tipsy in his arbour a wasp dropped into his glass, and the wasp was swallowed, stinging the man inwardly. Doctors crowded, and with much ado the man was saved. Now, St. Becky nursed her husband tenderly to health, and upbraided him not, but she said these words, and they reformed him : " My dear, take wine, and bless your heart with it, but wine in moderation; else never forget that the bee's wing of to-day becomes the wasp's sting of to-morrow." Sir Edward Dering, one of the members for East Kent, has issued an address to his constituents, in which he says, " It is with feelings of sincere regret that I have to inform you that the state of my health will prevent me from attending to my parliamentary ditties during the early part of the approaching session. My medical advisers have recommended me to seek a warmer climate until the cold winds of spring have passed away, and I am. therefore, on the print of embarking for Egypt." The Kentish Gazette, adverting to this address, observes that " all those who have lately seen Sir Edward , have been struck by his altered appearance. He is suffering from an attack in the windpipe and throat, and his medical men recommend his visiting a warmer climate until the spring. One of Sir Edward's friends will accompany him, and we are quite sure the electors of East Kent will readily accept the apology he offers for his temporary absence from his parliamentary duties, and will rejoice to see him return with renewed health and strength." THE FAIR Sax AND THEIR DIET.—We are not of the number of those who think that the fair sex ought to subsist, like Paris, upon odours and dew. We like to see the blushing maiden beside us exhibit a certain degree of friandise, and show a healthful appetite, corresponding to the brilliant colour of her cheeks. It is a mere delusion to suppose that a ball or soiree affords the best opportunity of making love. An adroit cavalier will make more impression upon the virgin heart, between soup and dessert than he can hope to effect in fifty plunging polkas. We are a dining nation; and, at a dinner, the finest qualities of the heart and intellecttere instinctively exhibled. We do not like to see a young lady ignore her food, or turn from the proffered wing of chicken, albeit with an air of the prettiest disgust. That always, to us at least, engenders sus picion of previous banquets—of surreptitious luncheons—of forenoon indulgencies in cakes and hot jelly, it may be with a flavour of maraschino. We see at once that there is a falsity in our sweet neighbour's performance—that she is acting a part deliberately studied and cofined, and we remember with a shudder, the story in the " Arabian Nights," of the lady who restricted herself to a few grains of rice at regulated mealtime, , , in order that she might be properly appetised for her hideous supper with the Ghouls. This is bad enough but what shall we say of the undisguised voracious woman ? It is frightful that such a thing should be ; yet, nevertheless, we lie not when we assert its existence. Gluttony is not altogether a male sin ;it can be found in the female. How often have we beheld in the Park carriages rolling by, containing enormous women, bursting with plethora, in whose rubicund countenances the awful signs of habitual hot luncheons appeared ! Aro they to be pitied ? Yes ; but their husbands are more pitiable still. For we cannot conceive anything more wretched and deplorable than the case of a man who, after his day's work in the city or at chambers, returns home with a freshened appetite, and seats himself at table with a few friends whom he proposes hos pitably to entertain—when, opposite him, the partner of his couch, the once slim and elegant Laura Matilda, sits in mute obesity, her perceptions dulled by satiety, and a sullen scorn upon her heavy lip—when Brown, and Jones, and Smith, the dearest friends of his soul, vainly assail her with Threadneedle jokes, and the last pungencies of the Ex change—when even Bosh, the wit of the club, who has been known to extort a grin from a red-tapist, attempts his fascinations in vain I .—Blackwood's Magazine.

The problem propounded, viz.':—" From an object A, in lat. 60 N., and in lon. 100 E, let the first great circle course to another object M, distant 716.35 miles be S., 39.10.9 E., required the course and distance from A to M, by Mercator's sailing," falling within the sphere of my own calling, I have naturally felt more deeply interested in it than probably I might have done in other communications addressed to the public, and having hitherto looked in vain for a solution from gentlemen of longer standing than myself in the profession, I venture to forward to you to you the following, trusting it will be found to coincide with that of the propounder. Course S., 34.21.45 E ; distance, 726,84 miles. _ _ I hare de industria abstained from troubling you with a diagram and an extended solution, lest by craving undue indulgence, I might, perchance, be unwillingly the means of causing you to exclude for the future from your columns communications similar to that submitted by your corres pondent " 0," believing that a corner, when convenient, set apart for either amusing or instructive problems, whether arithmetical or mathematical, will not, at least ought not, to diminish the popularity of any journal, as they are calculated to lead to investigation and mental improvement. And, should you consent to this, I would humbly suggest that your correspondent " 0 " should cater also for the entertainment of the parlour evening table circle of your juvenile readers as well as for your nautical friends.—l am, &c., A. 111`D. 24, Great George-square, Dec. 20, 1856. INEFFICIENCY OF IRON SHIPBUILDING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sir,—This day the " Vigo' (s.s.), built by Mr. John Laird, put into this port, leaky, &c. In the Shipping Gazette, of yesterday, under the head of Milford, it stated that she " left Havre on the 10th inst., bound for New York. On the 13th the water still increas ing in engine room. At 4 p.m., found 2 feet 2 inches in the forehold, and 3 feet 1 inch in the main bunker, and still rising. On the 14th the water again increasing, and lifting the plates in stoke hole. IN GOING BEFORE THE WIND FOUND THEY REDUCED THE WATER GREATLY. The log of this frail craft develops the principal upon which she is constructed is anything but mechanical, the fact of her making less water "going before the wind" proves her to be wanting in strength. I am at a loss to comprehend how it is that vessels are allowed to go to sea either with or without passengers that are not seaworthy, from either mechanical construction or naval marine architectural skill. Surely the marine depart ment of the Board of Trade cannot be aware of the responsibility they incur by granting certificates to vessels totally unseaworthy. Their connivance at such irregula rities is nothing less than aiding murder, when foundering terminates the existence of such craft as the " Roslin, ' with all hands. At the present time there are iron S.S. undergoing some cobbling, so as to make them pass muster, in accordance with the Board of Trade regulations. The means applied are neither mechanical nor useful. The iron they are torturing may add to the vessel's weight but unquestionably cannot increase their strength. The public look up to the Board of Trade for protec tion, and the underwriters and insurance companies regard Lloyd's register as an authority. It security to life and property be the objects of these bodies, they ought, from the broad facts recently developed by the inefficiency of iron built sips, to do their duty. A reluctance to comply with these remarks must only prove to the world that the marine department of the Board of Trade is a mere mockery upon safety, and the committee of Lloyds' register and its rules are only adjuncts to deceive the public. The fallacy of such spurious protection is only on a par with the ignorance exhibited when the power of two such official bodies are brought to bear upon the unmechanical structures re sembling externally iron ships, but when they are brought to do the duty of ships, an exhibition of their infirmities Is displayed in corroborating the soundness of my views. The principle propounded and patentented by me, as being efficient in the art of iron ship building, I challenge the iron ship constructors of the world to prove to the con trary. JOHN CLARE, JUN. 21, Exchange-buildings, Liverpool, Dec. 20, 1856- GREAT DEMAND FOR FARM.—The Arbroath News says : So great is the demand for farms in Forfarshire at present, that rents which would have been deemed fabulous a short time ago have been freely promised. For sundry farms on the Panmure property nearly £4 per acre has been offered and ac'ept.ed. SEIZURE OF THE WORKS ne THE BOARD OF EIEALTH AT ROTHERANI.—TiIe public offices and works hare been seized by the sheriffs officers, under a warrant issued at the suit of the Earl of Effingham and Mr. Simpson. It is currently stated that the actions are of a friendly character. Indeed, it is publicly imputed that the proceedings have been taken on the invite , ion of certain members of the new board. LONGEVITY.—Mrs. Curgenven, of Truro, was born many years before the end of the reign of King George 11. Her husband, Capt. Richard Curgenven, R.N., obtained his rank of post captain for his servic ‘s in Lord Rodney's celebrated action with Admiral Le Grasse in 1782; him his relict has survived considerably more than half a cen tury. The companions of her youth have of course, all long since departed, and with them many of her junior:relatires. Among the latter was her nephew-in-law, the Rev. William Curgenven, who for forty six years was rector of Lamorran, and who reached the age of 78 ; him also she has several years outlived. But although this venerable per sonage had seen generations enter upon the stage of existence and then disappear, while she seemed to be exempt from death, she has, nevertheless, at length shared the common lot, for on the 7th inst., at her residence in Lemon-street, when in her 106th year, she peacefully fell asleep,—Royal Cornwall Gazette. MURDERS IN FRANCE. The Court of Assizes of the Haute, Pyrenees three days ago tried a man named Pujo fur murder. An old shepherd named Couradette, of Astuge, near Bagneres, left home on the Ist of August to attend his sheep, and, contrary to his custom, he did not return at night. As nothing was seen or heard of him the next day his neighbours became alarmed, and instituted a search for him in the mountains. At a spot called Garrot they saw a human hand sticking out of a heap of stones, and on removing the stones they found the corpse of the old shepherd, with a deep gunshot wound in the breast, They then remembered that on the previous even ing they had heard the report of a firearm, and it was no doubt that of the gun which bad been fired at him. As the old man had no enemies, and was universally respected, it was not doubted that he had been murdered in order to be robbed of a sum of 500 f., which was all his little fortune, and which from vanity he used to carry with him and show to different persons. It turned out that that sum had disappeared. Suspicion fell on Pujo, who was known to be in very embarrassed circumstances, and who on that very day had a heavy debt to pay. The gendarmes and some of the villagers went to his house, and he and all his family were greatly embarrassed. He was called on to produce his gun, but could not do so, and whilst it was being sought for, he was caught in the act of secreting a pair of trousers ; these trousers were stained with blood, and the bloid, it was suspected, must have been occasioned by his having killed his victim at one spot and carried him on his shoulders to that at which he was found. The charge of the gun which had killed the deceased was composed of shot and pieces of lead, and similar shot and lead was found in his possession, It was also ascertained that he had left his house just before the crime was com mitted, and had returned to it just after. The jury de clared him guilty with extenuating circumstances, and the court sentenced him to hard labour for life. The Court of Assizes on Saturday tried a workman named Longatte for an attempt at murder. Full particulars o! this crime were given at the time it was perpetrated : The man had lived for some time at Belleville with a married woman named Bouley, separated from her hus band, and being a lazy fellow, he made her support him. After a while she got tired of such a life, and deter mined to leave him, bat he declared he would murder her if she attempted it. On 7ch October he over heard err say to the concierge that she would cer tainly get rid of him, and the next morning, as she was asleep in bed, he struck her several h'ows on the head with a hammer, after which he went away thinking she was dead ; but the woman, though dreadfully injured recovered. The jury declared the man guilty with extenuating circumstances, and the court sentenced him to hard labour for life. BETRITOUSE _KEEPERS' MOVEHEYT. An influential association has been established at Leeds, for the purpose of promoting the amendment and modification of the laws relating to beerhouses and houses of publicentertainment. The licensed victuallers of Leeds also support the movement, for at the last meeting of the Leeds Licensed Victuallers' Protection Society, the following resolution was agreed to : " That the licensed victuallers of the borough of Leeds most heartily agree with the movement now going on in the town with reference to the beerhouses ; and this`meeting begs to express its opinion that it would be very desirable to place the beerhauses entirely under the control of the justices, requiring the keepers of such houses tolapply to the magistrates annually for a renewal of their licenses in the same way and manner as the licensed victuallers are now required to do." At a meeting of the former association, held at the Leeds Court House, Mr. D. Lupton, one of the magistrates, in the chair, the subjoined resolutions were adopted . " That this association fully accords with the opinion of the select committee of the House of Commons (see p. 9, sec. 5, Report from the Select Committee on Publichouses.' ordered to be printed on the 13th of July, 18.54. that the beershop system has proved a failure;' and also with the opinion of the select com mittee of the House of Lords on the 30th of May, 1850, in which it is stated that the multiplication of houses for the consumption of intoxicating liquors, which, under the Beer Act, has risen from 83,930 to 123.396, has thus been of itself an evil of the first magnitude, not only by increasing the temptations to excess, which are thus presented ar, every step, but by driving houses, even those under the direct control of the magistrates, as well as others originally respectable, to practices for the purpose of attraeting custom. which are degrading to their own character and most injurious to morality and order.' "That public experience daily shows not only that both these conclusions are in agreement with the actual facts, but that since these reports were printed the crime and immorality generated in some beerhouses has become so great as to call for immediate measures for their suppression. " That with this view, the following propositions be strongly urged upon the immediate attention of the Government and the Legislature : " 1. That a law should be enacted luring the ensuing session of Parliament to the effect that frog and after the Ist of August next, or such other day as may be deemed more convenient, no further licenses for the sale of beer shall be granted by the Excise. "2. That while all licensed beersellers. excepting such as shall have obtained their licenses within six months prior to the time of the passing of the proposed amended act, shall- have their licenses continued, on application to the Excise as at present. All fresh licenses and the transfer of all existing licenses, for the sale of beer, shall, after the passing of the proposed act be granted by themegistrates only, and at their discretion. "3. That all licenses for the sale of beer which shalt have been issued by the Excise within the six months immediately previous to the passing of the proposed act shall continue in force only at the discretion of the magistrates. " 4. That the magistrates, in granting licenses for the sale of beer, shall be ruled as to the number of such licenses by the population of the town or district, and also by the rateable value of the houses for which such licenses are sought, according to a table or schedule to be appended to the proposed act. "5. That from and after the passing of the proposed amendment act, the houses in which beer is sold shall be subject to the same regulations as are directed by law to be enforced in the case of licensed victualling houses. "6. That in case of any third conviction hereafter of any such licensed beerseller for any breach of the law the licence heretofore granted to such beerhouse.keeper shall be withdrawn. " 8. That all coffeeshops, temperance hotels, shellfish_ shops, and similar places of public resort, shall also be licensed by the magistrates, for their respective purposes, and be subject to the same supervision and control as beerhouses. " That these resolutions be printed, and that a copy be sent to every'member of both Houses of Parliament, to the mayor of every borough, and to each of the magistrates of the county of York, and that their co-operation and sup part be respeetfully ancrearnestly solicited." The beersellers are2bestirring themselves ; and on F'rlday the Leeds association of that body held a meeting, at which a series of resolutions were agreed to, courting an impartial enquiry into the way in which beerhouses are conducted, and advocating the same freedom of trade to licensed beersellers as to licensed innkeepers. THE BITER BIT.—A few days ago, a seaman boarding at the Sailors' Home was crossing Tower Hill, when two men, apparently quarrelling about the value of a watch guard, came in his path. One offered £2, but the other indignantly refused his offer, saying that it was worth £B. The parties then departed, apparently in anger, when one of them came alongside the sailor, expatiating on the roguery of Jews, but offering the chain as a great bargain to Jack for e 3. So saying, he put the chain in his hand, desiring him to inspect it, but appeared sadly disconcerted when the sailor coolly informed him that he should retain possession of it until he met a policeman. A. struggle then commenced, and a third ruffian appeared ; but Jack was a determined fellow, and dragged his assailants a considerable distance, till a policeman hove in sight, when they nrecipitately retreated, leaving him in possession of the chain, which proved to be worth only a few shillings. MURDER BY AN IRISHMAN IN LEEDS.—A few days ago an ir quest (which has been adjourned from time to time) was brought to a conclusion, at the office of the Leeds Borough Coroner, upon the body of John Burns, aged 30, labourer, from the county Mayo, Ireland. The deceased came to Leeds with his brother, in the hay harvest of the present year, and was in Leeds for some weeks, lodging with Bridget' Allan, 1: Riley's-court, York-street. 4On the 20th of July last, the deceased and his brother had been spending the afternoon together; and in returning to their lodgings, found that they had to pass through a crowd of Irishmen, who were quarrelling and fighting. This they succeeded in doing without molests-. tation ; but they had nut been in their own house many minutes, when an Irishman named James Riley rushed into the room where they were seated, and, without a ay apparent provocation, struck the deceased a frightful blow upon the head with a heavy woolen stool he carried with him. So tremendous was the blow that the stool was broken in two, and the deceased's skull was smashed. Riley instantly left the house, leavieg the deceased senseless on the floor, weltering in blood. tie was conveyed to the Mendicity office, where Mr. Red cliffe, surgeon attended him. He lay in a state of unconscious ness for five weeks, and then expired. The jury returned a verdict of "iWilfull.Murder” against Riley, who [has absconded:l A CLEVER HORSE STEALER IN ALGERIA.
