LI'TE'RATURE Plan of the Future Government of India. By James Silk Buckingham. Second Edition. London : Patridge and Oakey,.. This is a pamphlet of rare merit ; and may well compete with any thing yet written on the govern miabrit of India. Of course the author has had great experience in Indian affairs ; having resided in:Calcutta for several years, and during that time freely associated with all ranks and conditions. He has, however, made signal use of his knowledge amid turned it to good account. We are confident that if the Plan here" proposed were even partially carried out, it would eminently redound to the honor and.pecuniary advantage. of, England, and materially enhance the prosperity and progress of India herself. There can be no doubt* but that such a work will be any thing' but agreeable to the little petty despots of the " India House,"—who have long fattened upon the spoils wrung from that country; and whose ignorance as regards India, her pdople, her resources, and her importance, has becothe proVerbial. Mr. Buckingham has been long and favourably known as au eminent travel ler; political economist, historian, and philanthro pist. He has suffered much and laboured long and arduously in the service of India; but like other great men who have preceded him, he has reaped but a mean. and paltry a.dv . antage from the British Government—ever slow to recognise genius —to honour .talent,—,and., to reward patriotism. However, - other,- and even. despotic Governments have done honor to Mr. Buckingham's ability and rewarded his services. Beside the wise policy ad vocated, we are charmed with the style and vigour of the language. Although advanced in years, the author still seems to possess all the fire, paSsion, amid eloquenee of youth. Respecting the manner in which England governs her distant possessions, he observes:— " Hitherto, we have ruled all our distant possessions with no higher object than to make them yield as much of profit as possible to the mother country; a barbarism as cruel as that of an American Slave-owner making his own offspring toil with the rest of his slaves for their master. Wo hold this to be a deadly sin, on the west of the Atlantic; and justly denounce it as a crime against human nature. But we have practised it ourselves without any expression of horror in our own possessions in the Eastern hemisphere ; as if difference of latitude or longitude could alter the nature and character of deeds, and make that which is criminal in one region of the earth innocent and honorable in another. "We can denounce the conquest of Spain, Portugal, Holland, and Italy, by Napoleon, and rejoice at his over throw, as a plunderer of other lands ; we can condemn the Bourbons for their conquest and occupation of Algiers ; we deprecate the French for their attempt to regain the ancient boundary of the Rhine, and to recover Belgium, Holland, and Italy, which they once held but have since lost ; we have no language too severe by which to denounce the ambition of Russia to possess itself of Turkey and supplant the Crescent by the Cross ; yet we have nothing but praise and self-gratulation to bestow on our own countrymen for the equally criminal conquest of India, and we glory in having achieved ourselves what we loudly condemn in others." . One other extract, which may be viewed as a speci men of fine, vigorous, and earnest writing. The subject of the author's observations has reference to the erection of a statue to commemorate the Great Exhibition of 1851; quite apropos at this time when the cry is renewed, and when ex-Lord Mayor Challis has been, like .lEsop's fly, raising such a dust, unfortunately, as it happened, just as he was going out of office. We heartily recommend the passage to the attention of Alderman Challis, and the lay and clerical " big wigs" who smiled, and talked " twaddle," and spoke bad English, over the proposed seller - me for burying Prince Albert alive! The " Oil-cum-Honey" Bishop of Oxford would greatly profit by attending to its benevolent and manly suggestions , • "At the same moment, too, that we are still boasting of our love of peace, and deservedly honoring our Queen and her Consort for the establishment of the Great Exhibition of 1851, as the " Temple of Peace," to teach all nations the practice as well as doctrine of universal brotherhood,—we are engaged in an attempt to make new conquests of Burmah, Ava, and Pegu, in the East; and summoning the elite of the /nation to raise a large subscription for the purpose of setting up, in the metropolis, as a Memorial of this Universal reaukilipciatrliim Exhibition of 1851," the equestrian vaders and marauders that Europe ever prdutd;Tiv life by rebelling against his father, while yet a mere boy— who carried on a horrible war against his elder brother, iu which neither party gave quarter—who renewed the war against his own parent and besieged him in his e t p.oln ‘ :s F Chalon, during- whi , A , .; uieu;—wao a ter his uuLe or Acre, in the Crusades, refused to receive a ransom for the prisoners he had taken, and murdered 5,000 of them in cold blood, while his soldiers were celebrating the religious fete of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin ;—who subse quently hung a whole garrison of Christians in France, even after they had offered to surrender, and soon after died of a wound in the castle of Chalon, after a nominal reign of ten years over England as its monarch, though he had never spent a single year of all these ten within his own dominions ; a man characterised by the three great vices of "pride, avarice, and voluptuousness," and whose whole life was a career of blood and murder ! Such are the men to whom our chief nobility have met and subscribed largely (to the extent of several thousand pounds) to honour-700 years after his ignominious death—by setting up his statue in the capital of their own country, where thousands are pining in want, ignorance, iutemierance, prostitution, and profligacy and crime, for which it is difficult to raise funds to carry forward the necessary agencies for their reformation ! "If we needed more statues for the adornment of the metropolis, in addition to those of the Kings, Princes, Dukes, Admirals, and Generals, which form the majority of the present number ; and especially if we wished such statues to commemorate an Exhibition intended to promote "Peace and good will among men ;" we might surely make a better choice than this of " Coeur de Lion," as we have yet no public statue in any of our squares or parks to our most successful navigator, Cooke—our most adventurous traveller, Bruce — our purest founders of Colonies, Oglethorpe and Penn—our greatest astronomer, Newton—our chief philanthropists, lioward, Clarkson, and AVilberforce—not one of our loftiest and most religious poets, Milton and Young—our most uncorrupted patriots, Marvell, Sidney, and Hampden—our most philosophic statesman ant orator, Burke—or our great social reformers, Lord Ashley nad Father Matthew—each of whom are worth a hundred " Coeur de Lions " for their own merits and deeds, and still more for the beneficial examples of their lives, patterns worthy of exciting the emulation and imitation of mankind, and having much more iu harmony with the "Great Exhibition of the Temple of Peace," than the ferocious blood-spiller, who had no greater virtue than that of the brute beast whose name is incorporated with his own, as if to be "lion-hearted," of which millions are to be found among the most ignorant and vicious of mankind, was to possess all the virtues that could elevate and adorn humanity, and like Charity, " cover a multitude of sins." Alas ! for the wisdom of the nineteenth century ! Mr. Buckingham has done signal service to huma nity. And after a life of unremitting labour he now enjoys a venerable age of honour. STEALING RAILWAY TICKETS.—A passenger by th e South Eastern Company's line at Rochester has iust been sentenced at quarter sessions, to one month's imprisonment, and two weeks' solitary confinement for " stealing a railway ticket." LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY.—This com pany, it is understood, have offered prizes to their workmen at Wolverton and Crewe for proficiency in mechanics' and other accomplishments, to be adjudged by the Inspectors of Schools. • It is said that the government of British Guiana has been offered to Sir Edmund Walker Head, Bart., the present Lieut.-Governor of New Brunswick, on a reduced salary of £4,000 per annum. His reply does not appear yet to have been received. GRAIN AND MEAL FROM RUSSIA. AND TURKEY.— From a late return it appears that in the nine months ended the 10th ult., the grain imported from the northern ports of Russia was 307,967 quarters, and from ports within the Black Sea, 1,029,168 quarters; and of meal only 65 cwt. From the Turkish dominions, in the same period, the grain numbered 689 quarters ; and the meal 7,370 cwt. TOBACCO IMPORTED AND EXPORTED.—It is shown that in the month ended the 10th ult, there were 5,213,854 lb. of unmanufactured tobacco imported, against 2,347,4951 b. of the same month in the preceding year. The exportations were respectively 773,6241 b. this year, and 1,130,5661 b. last year. ABOLITION OF BETTING -LIST HOUSES —The bill past last sessions to abolish those pests of society, the betting-list houses, takes place this day fortnight, being the Ist proximo. Al.eady a great many of the list-keepers have shut up their shops; and others who have taken deposits of money on horses to run in the Derby of 1854, apprehensive of the consequence of retaining, are returning it as fast as they Clan, and in a few days betting hou ses w ill have entirely disappeared not only from the metropolis, but also from all Farts of the kingdom. CAUSES OF INSANITY.—In a paper laid before the Society for linproving. the Condition of the Insane, a statistical account of 2,392 cases of recovery, under the care of Sir Alexander MorisOri, is given. In 1,428 of those cases the causes of the disorder are given, of which the following is a summary :—in 386, :hereditary disposition existed ; 181, intemperance; 172, pregnancy, childbearing, abortion, lac tation, &c. ; 116, disappointment, reverses, embarrassments, losses, privations; 76, religionS excitement; 62, grief; 50, disappointed affection ; 43b anxiety; vexation; 39, terror; 53, epilepsy; 23, falls, blows on the head; 8, paralysis; 219, causes of more rare occurrence. Of the remaining cases, for which no cause was assigned, the disorder had pre viously occurred in 270. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. SlR,—When I came. to Liverpool some years ago, I was both surprised and grieved to see how scanty were the law reports and police reports given by the local press. Of late years they are much better done, though not equally well by all the papers, and one result has *been most beneficial to the public. It is quite impos . sible even for a casual bystander not' to - perceive that more patience, more temper, and more discretion than formerly, mirk the admi nistration of our law in all.its` departments. In some instances, certainly, we have better men, who, under any circumstances, would have dis charged their duties to the satisfaction of the pub lic. But there is still room for improvement, and that improvement will always be in exact propor tion to publicity. .The whole profession is kept in awe by publicity : - the attorneys, the bar, and the bench, are equally checked and equally sustained by it; but there is another class on whom it ope rates yet more usefully; our witnesses both in the civil courts and the police courts, are too frequently under no other restraint ; and, even subject to this restraint, the - perjury daily witnessed is a scandal to the country. I trust, therefore, not only that .you will adhere to your practice, but whenever space permits, will extend it. • There are some men, high in station too, who writhe at it, and will even, as far as they can, visit vindictively all whom they suspect, often very erroneously, of aiding in . it. Such men little dream of the injury in social esteem which they inflict on themselves, but they must be taught that the press itself will resent in jury ot• insult that they seek to inflict on others for such a cause. • • - As one of the public, then, I entreat you to perse vere, and to make it intelligible to all classes, high or' low, that any assault on the privilege of report ing, whether openly or covertly made, will subject the assailant to penalties which no man in this free country dare disregard. —l am, &c. BRUTUS. TURKEY AND RUSSIA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES, SIR,—I think that every lover of constitutional freedom must rejoice at the success which has at tended the Turkish army in their 'first attempt to repel the encroachments of Nicholas, the Emperor of all the Russias. I also think. treat our govern ment ought to be stirred into a little more activity and energy in this matter. They appear to be asleep. Diplomacy, apparently, is a powerful nar• cotic. From the reports which appear in the NORTHERN DAILY TIMES, I presume that the French government are beginning to awake from their, slumbers; and it is high time that: ours were roused into something like life. I am no advocate for war, but a friend of peace ; but now that the great leader of 'despotism is again marching forward to destroy the constituted:liec dom of nations, it becomes the bounden duty of every lover of peace to stand forward and actively protest against such despotism. I think it high time that England, which professes to uphold the principle of the nationality of nations, should call upon her government actively to interfere to pre vent European despotism on the one hand, and to encourage or support constitutional freedom oo the other. This I take to be her especial mission. Seeing that several important meetings have been held in London and other towns, urging upon our government to take a more decided line of policy on this question, I think it is not too late (although at the eleventh hour) for LIVERPOOL, .the great emporium of commerce, to stand forward in public meeting, and add her voice to those already expressed, so that the ministers may see that in rendering assistance to Turkey, they have the cor dial approval of the mass of the people of this country country . I throw out this suggestion to the merchants and tradesmen of the town. It is no party question; but the right of every nation to be governed accord ing to its own will, and not the will of another; and it is the duty of a free people to support every other country which claims this right, and not to 'Pr c ncr -Pa l A t i.P.Wia ( y l U-PArNPAIRA -- 16ir, V - requMton or otherwise, to convene a town's meeting at an early period, I remain, respectfully, HENRY SMITH. 10, iooo. IRELAND. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY EVENING, THE CHOLERA--There has been no additional case reported in Dublin ; and, thanks to the precautions taken against the disease, there is every hope that it will not spread. In Cork there is still much danger, but the authorities are adopt ing every step in their power to hinder a recur rence of such events as were connected with the ship Kossuth. The magistrates have petitioned the Lord Lieutenant for the formation of a lazaretto. On board the Kossuth there were yesterday four cases of cholera, and seven of diarrhGe. Two deaths took place on Sunday. In Belfast the in mates of the workhouse have been attacked. There were up to the last accounts four cases, out of which two died, and two tire still under treatment. The town itself is as yet safe. There is no report of any case from the country parts, save a vague rumour now and then. CLONMEL ELECTION.-Mr. John O'Connell, and Mr. Bianconi are the candidates first in the field just now. The former is looked on by the league as friendly to the government, and consequently they are putting every possible obstacle in iris way, by endeavouring to extract pledges and the like. The deputation, consisting of Messrs. Lucas, Duffy-, and Gray, arrived in the borough on Monday, and had an audience with a committee of the electors yesterday, at which Dr. Gray declared his views as a candidate: Mr. John Reynolds has withdrawn. Mr. Barton, who entered the borough in 1852, will be put forward by the conservatives, but as there are only eighty tories out of a consti tuency of 300, he has not much chance of success. On the whole Mr. O'Connell is as yet, the favorite. A NICE LANDLORD : The Banner of Ulster states that the Marquis of Hertford has raised the rents, on his Antrim estates, of those tenants who favoured the liberal candidate at the last Lisburn election. INCUMBERED ESTATES COURT. —Yesterday, on the petition of Lord Wellesley, the extensive Mor nington estates, situate in the Queen's County, and Counties of Dublin, Meath, Cavan, Westmeath, and King's County, were put up for sale. The total amount realized was £204,835, being over 22 year's purchase on the rental. THE SHIP MooßEsFolicr.—The Cork Constitution says :—On the 23d October the ship Mooresfort left Liverpool with a large number of passengers and a general cargo for Melbourne. On last Sun day week a plank nine feet long, and nine inches broad, with the word " Mooresfort" in gilt letters cut in it, was washed on shore at Goleen, near Crookhaven. It is hoped that no serious accident has occurred to this find ship, but that the board found was washed from the quarter. The first officer in this ship is Mr. George Slorach, son of Mr. Alexander Slorach, of this city. A PARISIAN CELEnurry.---One of the celebrities of the public balls of Paris was buried on Tuesday, having been carried to the grave from h er h o t e l i n t h e ' R ue Caumartin. Mademoiselle Olympe, employed as a boot-binder, about two years a,,,, , r0; never missed a ball at A snie r e s , 'or and at the former place she so captivated a German baron that he married her. He died about eight months ago, leaving her from 30,000 f. to 40,000 f. a-year. After his death she became melancholy, and her health declined. She went out on Sunday to drive in the Bois de Boulogne, and, on the re turn of the carriage to the hotel, the footman, ? on letting down the steps, found that his mistress did not alight. She was lying dead on the seat. She had only reached her 22nd yew.—Galignani's Messenger. A PRECEDENT IN TILE LAW OF EVIDENCE.—The district court of Schaffhausen, in Switzerland, has lately furnished a useful precedent in the law of evidence. A citizen of Schaff hausen was accused of having boxed the ears of another citizen. There were no witnesses to the act, for at the time of the alleged offence, the parties were alone in the coffee-room of an hotel. But the landlord and the waiters who were in a room near to the scene of action, swore that they heard the blow. The defendant, of course, pleaded "not guilty," an d that even i f the offence had been corn mitted, the witnesses could not have heard the blow. In order to elucidate this very nice point, the court adjourned to the scene of the alleged offence. Several members took the places of the witnesses in the case; two of the judges were locked up in the coffee-room, and the ears .of one of them were duly boxed by the other. It was clearly esta blished that the blow could be heard in the adjoining room, and that the plaintiffs were correct in their statements. Sentence accordingly. TVEST DERBY BOARD OF GUARDIANS. YESTERDAY. The usual weekly meeting of the West Derby Board of Guardians took place yesterday. Mr. 11-knausoN was in the chair, and the following gentlemen were also present : Mr. Alpass, vice-chairman ; Mr. Reyes, deputy vice; Messrs. Roskell, Abrahams, Mountfield, Craig, Lunt, M' Gee, Carter, Horsfall, • Molyneux, Smith, G. Marrison, Wensley, Rev. W. Badnall,. Shaw, and Tattersall. The Clerk read the minutes of the last day's meeting. The following cheques were Passed : Mr. Olney, £25 ; Mr. Allen, £G7 ; Mr. Potts, £B4 ; Mr. Lythgoe, £lB. Mr. M'GEE moved, according to notice ' which he had given upon the last day of meeting, that the salaries of Isaac Mullock, master tailor and John Taylor, master shoemaker, be raised from £1 to £1 ss. per week. Mr. LUNT seconded the motion, which was unanimously adopted. It was agreed, upon the motion of Mr. Shaw, that two days' notice be given to Mr. Cooper, contractor for the works at the hospital, to proceed with the works according to contract. A resolution was also adopted, that the board make the usual application to the Health Committee to have the sewerage through Kelshaw-street continued for the conve nience of the neighbourhood. CHARGE AGAINST MR. STEPHENS, SURGEON. The following letter was read from Mr. Stephens, one of the district surgeons, in reference to the case of a woman named Mary Clare, r%,arding whom, Mr. Barnett, one of the relieving officers for the Toxteth Park district, had communicated with the board at their last day of meeting:— " Wednesday, Nov. 16, 1853, " 4, Upper Parliament-street, Liverpool. " Sin.,—Upon receiving a letter, yesterday, from Mr. Cleaver, respecting the pauper Mary Clare, 1 presumed she had not been removed, and therefore again visited her, and being of the same opinion as on a former occasion, I enclose my medical officer's certificate, recommending her removal to the hospital. The guardians will now be in a position to contradict any further false or erroneous assertions which may be made against me respecting neglect of parochial duty with regard to this pauper.—l am, Sir, yours, &e., "To tlie Chairman, "ALFRED STEPHENS. " West Derby Board of Guardians." The CLERK said the letter was accompanied by the certi ficate to which he referred. . Mr. BAnNErr : Mr. Stephens has driven me into exposing this matter of attending". this woman. I related last week the manner in which he refused to attend her, and I am driven to the necessity of. bringing it under official notice. lie states that he had seen the woman, but he did not at tend to her, she haVing - remained in the same state. In that letter you will see that he casts reflections upon me—reflec tions which are not by any means called for, inasmuch as the fact which I have stated can be readily proved, and I will feel obliged if you will canse Mr. Stephens to prove the truth of his expressions, or to withdraw them. - Mr. ALPASS : The allusion does not apply to you. Mr. BARNETT : It does, sir. Mr. ALPASS : It does not. Mr. BARNETT : It does, inasmuch as my name was used in a former letter. _ Mr. ALFASS : I talk of this letter. M. lIoasEALL : How long is it since ho was applied to to attend the pauper, Mary Clare ? Mr. BARNETT : I should think a fortnight. Mr. HousrALL : When did he see her Mr. BARNETT : He saw her three times. The first time she wanted her lei attended to. Mr. HonsrALL : And he would not look at it ? Mr. BARNETT : He would not look at it. Mr. ALPASS : I am informed that that is not true. He did not see her the first time. _ _ Mr. BARNETT: I saw him again, and he refused again. Mr. TionsrA.LL That is corroboration you see. Mr. ALPASS : -Three times she called at his surgery, and he was not in. Mr. HORSFALL : But it was his duty to see her. Mr. BARNETT : The woman told me she saw him each time. Mr. ALPASS : Well, Mr. Stephens told me he did not see her. Mr. BARNETT : Mr. Stephens admitted to me that he - had seen her. Mr. ALPASS: Not any of the first three times that she went to his surgery. lam speaking of the first three ap plications. Mr. BARNETT : I am not speaking of that, but I hardly think any assistant would take upon himself the responsi bility of refusing to attend to the woman. Mr. ALPASS : That is not the question. Mr. BOSICELL : The question, I take it, chiefly is whether Mr. Stephens did his duty or did not. As I understand the case, Mr. Barnett gave an order to the woman to wait upon Mr. Stephens for the purpose of getting medical relief. Mr. Stephens refuses Mr. ALPASS : No, M. liT— 4-^ give the order. Mr. ALPASS : Although Mr. Stephens did object, or refuse, if you like to act upon the order of Mr. Barnett, yet still he did go and see the person. Mr. ILOSKEL L : lam r!glit.ats fat ua I hGTG Sono. Mr. ALPASS : Except that he did go. Mr. ROSKELL : But the question arises what period had elapsed before he did go ? Mr. ALPASS : He went that very day. Mr. ROSKELL : If I understand the matter, the woman had a right to be relieved for six months, The six months had not expired, therefore there was no alteration in the circumstances. Now if I understand the thing rightly I do think from what I heard before and hear now that Mr. Stephens is blameable in the matter. The CLERK, at the request of some of the Guardians, read the whole correspondence which had taken place upon the subject. Mr. ROSKELL would ask any gentleman what under the circumstances was the duty of the medical officer ? To attend to the case, and if he found himself aggrieved to appeal to that board. But was the woman to be neglected all that time while he was quibbling about whether he had a right to attend to her or not ? He thought from what he had heard of the matter that Mr. Barnett had done his duty in a very straightforward and faithful manner. It did appear to him that now the salaries were fixed they thought the less they did the better. He had no doubt that the case was true, and he really thought that very great blame should attach to the medical officer, and that the woman was la bouring under a disease which ought to have been attended to. The medical officers were paid for attending, and ought to do their duty. Mr. HEYES suggested that Mr. Stephens be requested to attend before the board on next Wednesday and give an explanation. He did not think unless the board adopted that course they had any means of coming to a right con clusion under the circumstances. (Hear, hear.) Mr. SHAW thought it highly improper for Mr. Roskell to denounce Mr. Stephens in that manner upon an exparte statement. That course of conduct was, not in accordance with the principle which Mr. Roskell generally advocated at the board. For himself he should say that he knew nothing whatever about the matter until to-day. Mr. J. Barnett had told the board most positively that he gave an order to Mr. Stephens to attend Mary Clare on the 3rd of Novem ber. A medical - certificate was produced requirin g her re moval to the hospital, although Mr. Barnett told them in one breath that the medical officer never attended her. How could they understand that ? Mr. BARNETT : I can very well explain it. Mr. SHAW said Mr. Roskell had denounced Mr. Stephens for not doing his duty as a medical officer. Now it would appear by the letters which Mr. Cleaver had read that he had been attending the woman. There was a medical cer tificate with three names mentioned, and he would ask had any of them been removed to the hospital ? Mr. ALPASS replied in the affirmative. Mr. SHAW said that if Mr. Stephens thought it would be better to have that woman in the hospital, he could not see why she was not removed as well as the other per sons. He did not see where Mr. Stephens had failed to do his duty. He had no hesitation in saying that Mr. Stephens would be very glad to attend her, and he was sure that he had data and documents to prove everything for five or six years. He was sure that Mr. Stephens was so disgusted with the treatment he had received from the Board that he never would respect the office. He would appeal to the members around whether Mr. Stephens had not been treated for the last five or six years by that board in the manner he had stated—first by one officer and then by another; so that he could not well feel himself justified in making a charge against any officer. He would object to their calling upon Mr. Stephens to attend before the board in reference to that charge. Mr. ALPASS also expressed his astonishment that Mr. Roskell should have denounced Mr. Stephens, and he was glad that there was at least one member besides himself at the board willing to defend Mr. Stephens from the charge. He knew very well that upon the part of at least one reliev ing officer there was a very strong feeling against Mr. Stephens, and whenever there was an opportunity of picking a hole in his coat, that officer would take the opportunity of doing it. That they all knew. Now let them bear in mind, what the facts were. Mr. Stephens received an order signed by Mr.• Barnett to visit the woman Mary Clare. He had an impression that he had no right to attend to the order of any relieving -officer, except one attached to his own district. He objected to attend, but upon further consider ation he thought it better to go and see the woman, and he did go. On that very day, November 3rd, when she went first to his surgery, he went to the house and found her seated there with a very badly ulcerated leg indeed, but yet nursing a child and doing work about the house. Now he saw there was no chance of her being . cured unless by perfect rest, and so long as she remained in the house and did work, she could never by possibility get well. There fore he put her name, with the names of two other persons whom he found in his rounds that day requiring removal to the hospital for proper treatment, and he could give reasons for that—he put them in one paper and sent it to Mr. Latham's house. M. Latham obeyed the order, and re moved one person to the hospital, but the other was not removed. He now came to the point whether a person refusing to be removed to the hospital was entitled to have the relieving officer or medical officer continue their attend ance. His own impression was 'that if the medical officer certified that a person was fit to go to the hospital, and that that person would not go, if the law did not support it, at all events it was the wish of the guardians that the medical officer should cease to attend to that person, in order that the guardians might have the requisite power. Whenever it was necessary for the welfare of a patient to go to the hospital, and the patient would not go, that these should be no medical attendance given out Of the house. He did not know if that was the case, but it was his impression and the impression of other guardians; and Mr. Stephens, he knew, acted upon that impression. If that view was wrong, he was sure Mr. Stephens had only to be set right upon the subject, and if he had committed an error he would not do so again. He should be glad to know from Mr. Cleaver whether he was wrong in that in terpretaton of the law. The CLERK said the question was once referred to the Poor-law Board, and it appeared that if the hospital was out of the township where the party resided, a refusal to go there .would be no excuse for the guardians withdrawing Medical or other relief. Mr. ALPAss : But, mind you, we are now only removing them to what may be called an assistant-workhouse. That question referred to the southern hospital. The CLERK : No. It referred to our old union hospital. Mr. ALPASS contended that there was no use in bringing, Mr. Stephens to that board, and their time would be occu pied quite uselessly. He trusted that the explanations and reasons which he had given would be considered sufficient by the board. A poll was then taken, when there appeared eight votes for calling Mr. Stephens before the board, and six against. The motion was therefore declared carried. A letter was read from Mr. Henry Johnson, vaccinator, requesting that the board would raise the rate of payment to 2s. Cd.for home cases, and ss. for cases at Kirkby. On the motion of Mr. ALrAss, the letter was rarred to the hospital committee. A lengthened correspondence was read between the Poor law Board, Londoni; the. Board of Supervision, Edinburgh ; the Parochial Board, Glasgow ; the guardians of the Luss Union, Scotland; and Mr. Gray, of the parish office, Liverpool, regarding the case of an old woman named APKenzie, who had been sent from the We Derby Unio n to Scotland, and since returned to Everton. The CLERK was directed to enter in correspondence for the purpose of obtaining further information as to the place where the woman was entitled to be relieved. " The board then adjourned. DEDUCTIONS FROM.. THE LAST AMERICAN CENSUS. [From the New York Evening Post.] It appears from the " Abstract of the Seventh Census," Published this year, that the United States possessed, at the beginning of 1852, as much completed railroad, within 3,300 Miles, as all the rest of the world put together. In the United States there were in operation at that time, '10,843 miles; in the various countries of Europe, 14,143. By the beginning of 1853, the completed roads in this country had increased to 13,000 miles, while European roads had grown to 16,000, making the difference, at that time, only 3,000 hiiles. There were also, at the beginning of this year, 12,680 miles in process of construction in the United States ; in all; therefore, constructed and constructing, 25,000 miles. On the same authority, there is no exaggeration in saying that before 1860, there will be in our country 35,000 miles of completed railway. These facts indicate pretty . rapid pro gress. They look as if we were overdoing the business. There aie various considerations, however, that tend to diminish the fear of any excess. According to the commonly-received notions, the newness of our country would make railroads less necessary than in the thickly-settled districts of the old world. But there is a fallacy in this. Experience is daily showing, that in the deep soils of the West, where productiveness is extberant, and transportation, by the depth of the soil, is rendered very difficult, railroads become the best labor-saving machines of the farmer. In respect to one of their effects, namely, that of rendering accessible and settling new and interior districts, railroads can operate-in no f ore i gn coun t r y as i n ours.No one needs them for this purpose so much as ours, or can be benefited in a manner at all comparable. It is the good fortune of our republic to be, in the arts of practical"life, as well as in political wisdom and experience, " the heir of all ages." Our prairies and inland country are settling by the efficient operation of railroads ; for these are the latest discovered, and prove to be the best means of accomplishing this object. In the old world it has been already accomplished by the imperfect methods of former times—the caravan, the military road, the ordinary high way, along whose routes villages and settlements have here tofore sprung up, just as they now do along our railroads, only with a rapidity, as compared with the growth of our towns, like that of a camel to a steam-engine. The large proportion in miles that the roads of the United States bear to those other countries, will appear less striking when it is considered that the cost per mile of the former is but little more than one-fourth that of foreign roads. Our roads average about $34,000, others, $130,000 net mile. The census report states thg. including the roads now constructing, tne average cost ot our railways will be reduced to $27,000 per mile, making the difference still greater ; for there is no reason why foreign roads should be constructed now at a rate materially cheaper than formerly. o,‘ , new roads, en the contrary, pass mostly through level and unsettled, or thinly settled agnculturai I.llJ,Uieuti ' wnere laud is held at low rates ; where few, if any, cultivated grounds are cut through that are heavily expensive, and where cuttings and embankments are comparatively unfrequent. There is probably an exaggerated idea abroad as to the capital now expending in these projects. The pub lic, at any rate, seem to be mistaken as to the proportion this capital bears to the annual productions of the country and to that employed in other expenditures of aeku o wlodged econom y. The twelve thousand miles and over, now construe ting, will pass almost entirely through agricultural districts ; most of it is building in the western and northwestern states. We may reckon these roads, then, as so many agricultural tools. Now, the capital invested in them, estimating it at $20,000 a mile, is $20,000,000. That invested in agricultural is stated at $150,000,000. It would appear, then, • that the capital of all the roads now constructing is but little more than sixty per cent. increase on what is in vested in the ordinary implements of husbandry. The agricultural products of the country amount to about $1,500,000,000. Suppose the 12,000 miles in construction should, as improved agricultural tools, increase the value and amount of these products equal to one per cent. on the value above given, this would amount to $15,000,000 equal to more than 6 per cent. on $240,000,000, the capital in vested. Again, suppose these 12,000' miles to stimulate a country ten miles on each side, they would affect an area of over 153,600,000 acres. Supposing the road to increase the value of land equal to an average of one dollar an acre, we have an addition of over $153,000,000 to the wealth of the country from this cause—over 60 per cent on the capital in vested. The cash value of farms in the country is stated at a little over $3,200,000,000. Again, suppose over 12,000 miles of railroad to increase this value 8 per cent. ; they add to it $250,000,000, thus wiping away the whole of their cost and more. _ _ The whole annual import of wheat into Great Britain during the past year was about 6,000,000 quarters, or 48,000,000 bushels. If we suppose one acre in ninety of the 153,000,000 rendered accessible by those roads, to be rendered productive by them, with an average yield of 30 bushels of'wheat to the acre, they would produce an amount greater than the whole annual import of Great Britain. Or, to state it in another form, suppose .a yield to be induced equal to one-third of a bushel to each acre, the roads now constructing will add to our agricultural products enough to supply the entire import of Great Britain. There is a deficiency this year in the wheat crop of Great Britain, amounting to nearly 4,000,000 quarters. It is calculated that she will have to import during the coming year, 9,600,000 quarters, and of these she relies on Canada and the United States for 5,000,000 quarters, or 40,000,000 bushels. The surplus wheat of Upper Canada this year, is estimated in late papers at 4,000,000 bushels. Sup pose the Canadas to furnish 8,000,000 bushels there is left to the United States as their share, 34,000,000, Now, since the beginning of 1852, there have been comple ted at least three thousand miles of railway, which we may suppose to have stimulated a belt of land ten miles on each side, or an area of 38,400,000 acres. The cultivation of one acre in thirty of this, or an average production of one bushel to the acre, would supply all that the mother country asks of us, and a good deal more. It appears from data collected in England from the best sources, that Great Britain, during the years 1848, 1849, and 1850, imported cereals, live stock and meats to the value of 75,000,000/. ; au average of 25,000,0001., or $125,000,000 a year paid to foreign countries for food. Now if, over and above what was produced before, we suppose one acre of thirty of our 153,000,000 is stimulated to produce what is equivalent to thirty bushels of wheat, we have added to our store of pro duce enough to furnish the imported food of the entire United Kingdom. These effects, it is to be observed, will be brought about by railroads, even though the stockholders should not receive a cent from them. They are, moreover, exclusive of the immense impetus given to manufacturing, commercial, and other interests. LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY. —A special general meeting was held on Tuesday,' to consider whether it would not be premature at the present moment to submit a scheme for raising the capital necessary for the forma• tion of the Dorchester'and Exeter extension line of railway agreed to at the meeting in August. After a discussion of several hours, the motion on the part of the directors em powering them to continue the extension of the proposed line from Dorchester to Exeter, Ins met by an amendment. that such extension should not take place. The show of hands being in favour of the amendment, a poll was &- minded, which will not close before Saturday next, at three o'clock. THE LATE REPRESENTATIVES OP MULL.—On Monday evening a numerous and influential meeting of the electors of this borough was held in .he Music-hall, for the purpose of presenting a testimonial to Lord Goderieh and Mr. Clay, the late representatives of the town. The, testimonials, which originated amongst the working men, cunsisted of two splen did silver tankards, which had been subscribed for by more than 1,800 of that class, as a token of the esteem in which their late representatives were held, and a markg sympathy on their having been unseated. Mr. Alderman Blundell, ex-mayor, presided ; and the testimonials having been pre sented by a deputation, the late members severally expressed their acknowledgments. Corropontienct. .. ~... THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. "f-~ a i POLICE COURTS.-... V ESTERDAY, CELEBRATION OF THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER, —Three young boys named Thomas Wainright, Benjamin Garrick, and William Atkinson were fined for discharging pistols, squibs on the fifth of November. The fines imposed varied from ls. and costs, to ss. and costs. CHARGE OP FURIOUS DRIVING AGAINST A POLICE OFFICER.--Police-officer M'Grane appeared to answer a charge preferred against him by officer 329, of furiously driving in Great ipeorge-street, on the 6th of November. From the statement of the officer, it, appeared that M'Grane and a fellow officer, were in a Whitechupel, which M'Grane was driving at the rate of twelve to thirteen miles an hour. Officer 111'Grane then called two witnesses, the first was Inspector Campbell, who happened to be passing through Great George-street, ion the day in question, he considered they were not driving faster than six miles an hour, although he remarked they were cutting " rather fast." John Connoly, a cab driver, was next called, he stated that when they were passing St. James's stand, they were going very slowly—about five miles an hour. Mr. Mansfield said the officer must have committed a most gross mistake, and cautioned him to be more careful for the future. Capt Greig said it would be very bad to have dissension or bad feeling amongst the officers, and he would remove 329 to thelNorth Division.__ CLAIM FOR SEAMxN's WAGES.—Robert Hughes, chief mate of the ship ,Matoga summoned the owners for wages. He had shipped at St. John's, New Brunswick, at £lO a month (currency) the rest of the crew had shipped by the run. He now claimed one month's wages. Mr. Chilton appeared for the owners, and Mr. Campbell for the plaintiff. The defence was that the claimant had been on Thursday week convicted before the magistrates of making away with some of the ship's stores, for which offence he had been convicted and fined, and it was , con tended by Mr. Chilton that he had, by this offence, for feited his wages. Mr. Campbell said that no penalty was to be taken from wages except in the way of fine, and that thoso wages were due before the offence was committed. Mr. Mansfield said that if the conviction had taken place under the Mercantile Marine Act, the wages would have been ;forfeited ; but as the parties choose to have their con viction under the Local Act, they had cut themselves out from this remedy. An order for the amount claimed was given. SMUGGLING.—Tohn Norman was charged with smuggling 11 lb. of foreign manufactured tobacco, found concealed on Ins person. The prisoner in his defence said he did not know what would be the consequence. He was ordered to pay 17s. 6d., or go to gaol for 7 days. SUSPECTED ROBBERY OF WEARING APPAREL. —Mary Kelly, was charged by Mary Corton with stealing a jacket, a dress, an apron, and several other articles of wearing ap parel. The apron was found upon her when she was given in charge, and was identified by the prosecutrix, and she admitted she had pledged the jacket at a pawnbroker's in Park-lane, but that she had lost the ticket. Remanded. REmANns.—Sarah Johnson was remanded to this day, charged with stealing Is. 6d. from Joseph Ward, labourer, in a public-house in Dale-street, on Tuesday afternoon. Elizabeth Nolan was remanded to this day, charged with offering for sale to Richard Stake, on Tuesday last, a coat stolen from George Spill, St. George's-street, clothier, in whose employment she was. , Maria Trrienzan was remanded for seven days, charged with stealing a gown from 71, Warnett-street, where it was left to be washed. The woman of the house mentioned that she washed for servants in the Adelphi Hotel, and that know ing prisoner to have been housemaid at Mr. Cooper's, dentist, she had given her a lodging. ROBBERIES or EMPLOYERS.—John Goodwin, a young lad, was charged by Mrs. Calvert, toy-shop, Bold-street, in whose employment he was, with abstracting a quantity of silver and gold pencil cases, coral beads, bracelets, and other pro perty, to the value of £7, from her shop. The property was missed on the 21st of October. A boy, named James Kirk, proved to having often seen prisoner exhibiting articles in the street, such as case-boxes with knives, pencil cases, &c. Some pencil cases were produced, found on the prisoner, which Mrs. Calvert could not identify. He was generally remanded for further inquiry. Joseph Porter, carter in the employment of ' Mrs. Robin son, 5, Leathern-alley, was charged by his employer with ombezzling thirty-five shillings, due to her by various parties for cartage, by producing false receipts. He had suddenly left the employment when the money was about being called in. Remanded for seven days, in order that the receipts may be produced. • THE ROBBERY OF WEARING APPAREL AT THE' WEST DERBY WORKHOUSE.—John Jackson, John Harrison, and William Lithgoe, charged with stealing wearing apparel from the workhouse.of the West Derby Union, on the 21st of September, were again put forward. Jackson was sen tenced to two months' imprisonment. No additional evidence being adduced against the other two prisoners, they were discharged. Snor-LtPrnrci. —.Patrick Curley was charged with steal ing a bottle of wine from Mr. Bentley's store, in Lime -street. His shopman saw prisoner handing the bottle to a receiver, and three or four other boys were in his company at the r.t.3oner was also convicted or stealing a drum or currants from a grocer's in Berry-street. He was sentenced to one month's imprisonment. ROBBERY OF A TWENTY-FOUND NOTE BY A FEMALE SERVANT. —Joanna Russell was charged under the following circumstances. She was female servant in the employment of Mr. Terence M'Camley, of Hopwood-street. On Tuesday evening she went into the establishment of Mr. Congrieffe, publican, of Truenutu-street, and tendered a bunk note in paymeut of seven shillings and twopence, a liquor debt which she had contracted on Monday night, in the name of a Mr. Dwyer. Mr. Congrieffe finding that the note was of the Bank 'if England, for twenty pounds, entertained some suspicions that she had not come by it honestly. He therefore gave the woman two shillings and tenpence to make up ten shillings, telling her to call in the morning for £l9 10s. Next morning he saw Mr. Dwyer, who knew nothing whatsoever of the transaction. Prisoner was then arrested, and gave several contradictory accounts of the manner in which she had come into possession of the note. • Mr. M'Camley had missed a ten pound note out of a drawer which he always kept locked. Mr. Clough having sent a detective officer to the house, he examined the drawer which was one of a chest. He could not find any sign of the drawer or lock having been tampered with, but on examining, he found that, by taking out a top drawer, which was not locked, a hand might be inserted through a partition in the back, and anything taken out of the drawer where the money was kept. Mr. M'Camley could not identify the note, but said the person who paid it to him would be able to do so. The case was remanded to this day for Cite required link of evideUce. DEATH OF A LIVERPOOL PRIZE FIGHTER:- INQ REST, AND VERDICT OF MAN- SLAUGHTER.' Yesterday an inquest was held before the deputy borough coroner, touching the death of James Gill, mentioned in our issue of yesterday.. : David Gill, brother to the deceased, detailed some of the circumstances of the case. He went with deceased by railway, from the Titheborn-street station on Thursday last, with about fifty other persons ; and about eight or nine miles out in the country, a fight took place between the deceased and Frank Donnelly. Each had two seconds, and one of Donelly's seconds was called " Nobby Clarke," and another second was " New castle Ja ck," but he knew none of the other parties. He heard that a person named Brannon was a second of deceased. It was a fair fight, and lasted thirty five minutes. They both struck each other whenever they could get a chance. TT i believed it to have been a prize fight for £2O a side. Tae deceased was said to have won. John Augustus Somers, house surgeon at St. Ann's dis pensary, was called t see Gill on Saturday morning. He found him suffering fru;a severe inflammation of an erysipela tous character of the left side of the neck, extending over the jaws and face. His left eye was blackened. He did not see him on Sunday, as he expected he would have been removed to the infirmary, which he had advised, and when he called on Monday morning he was dead. He had since made a post mortem examination of the body, and found deep contusions over the side of the jaw and neck, and an abcess formed over the angle of the jaw. He considered the cause of death to have been the inflammation extending through the glottis to the windpipe. Mr. Richard Yates Ackerley, surgeon, who also attended him, gave evidence to a similar effect. Mary Pders deposed to the death of Gill, at five o'clock on Monday morning, at his lodgings, Barlow-street. A verdict of manslaughter was returned against_Frank Donnelly, as principal, and dive's other persons, to the jurors at present unknown, for aiding-and abbetting. The parties engaged in the prosecution, it was stated, (but not in evidence), went on Tuesday in a boat to the Great Ormes-head, as the fight should have come off on that day, but the weather was so rough they could not land. li MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.--An accident, which might have been attended with fatal consequences, occurred at the Tiverton-road station of the Bristol and Exeter railway last Tuesday. A gentleman's carriage was proceeding to the station for the purpose of fetching the owner, who was expected to arrive by the mail train. The carriage was but a short distance from the station, when the shrill whistle of the approaching . train was:heard. The horses, which were sptrited ones, took fright .at the sound, and broke away from the driver, who lost all control over them. In an instant they broke through the railing which protected the embankment of the railway, and horses, carriage, and driver were • precipitated over a height of 40 feet. The -guard of the train, which had arrived, witnessed the acci dent, and at once conclud , d that both man and horses were dashed to pieces ; but, strange to relate, it was found that they had fallen to the bottom without sustaining the least ,iujury—the only thing damaged being one of the traces. 'That makes the escape more marvellous is the fact that the piece of ground on which the carriage and horses alighted was but just wide enough for them to stand upon Witheutlalling into a ditch containing four feet of water, which adjoins the piece of ground. This also was fortunately escaped, and the carriage, horses, and driver were, after some labour, brought to the station in safety. COUNTY COURT.— YESTERDAY. (BEFORE JOSEPH POLLOCK, ESQ., JUDGE). RICHARD IVILLIAMS PRICHARD and WILLIAM RUSIITO:t COULBORN V. EDMUND PRESTON and CALEB DAVID IV-a s°. —The plaintiffs are merchants in this town, and the defen dants are shipbrokers carrying on business also in this town. The action was brought to recover compensation for darting: and injury, through careless and improper stowage, to cargo of iron, conveyed from Belfast to Liverpool on be the Panope, on the 28th November, 1862. Mr. Gamow appeared for the plaintiffs, and appliedjer an adjournment of the case to May, 1854. The applina4 was based on an affidavit by one of the defendants, ww_, set forth that the captain of the Panope was n ecessal l witness for their defence, and that the Panope would 2 0 ; return from Constantinople to Liverpool until the month Of May or June next. After some discussion between fi r ' Grocott and Mr. Hime, who appeared for the plaintiffs,,,,7 to the defendants' lodging in court the amount of t 'w compensation claimed, £5O, His Hoisrox said that he did not consider it a ease e l l which he should order the money to be lodged; and adjourn the further hearing of the matter to February, Mr. Grocnr° to have liberty to move then, if necessary, for a furth er adjournment. OMNIBUS COLLISION. —FORD v. WEST.—Mr. Gocoll appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. John Ford, late omnibus proprietor, now a licensed victualler in Old Hall-street; and Mr. C. HUGHES was for the defendant, Mr. J° ll4 West Carter, 19, Duke-street, Great Homer-street. The action was brought to recover £5 17s. for datuage done by the defendant's cart to the plaintiff's om nibus b/ corning in collision with it in Great Howard-strej! The plaintiff's omnibus was proceeding to Crosby, Ibot6 four o'clock, on the 20th of last August, and when n ear th e e a borough gaol, in Great Howard-street, the driver o bserc the cart of the defendant approaching. The road at 6 15 point being very narrow, and a portion of it, moreoTerl being torn up at the time for repairing ; the driver ar some gentlemen on the omnibus called out to the carter t° stop until the omnibus passed. This he neglected to d° , e but quickening his pace, came in collision with ti l ed omnibus, which was going very slow at the time, and cat the injury for which compensation was now sought. His HONOR gave £5 damages, to be paid in thre e monthly payments. From the number of summonses for small amoun ts ' ranging between two and four shillings, his li o ' g te observed, while condemning such actions, that 51 could not conceive how working men in Liverre ° could-dispute such claims, and in doing so, not only be 0° 1 : pelled to pay the debt and the costs attendant on the act in but also lose their day's work.

Dr. Landolfi had been s ,ty mooed to Munich about three months ago to attend a ';',f of rank, whose cure he has effected, as well as that of av others, during his visit to that city. It is expected t 1 0 , 0., will speedily publish a work on the subject of his dise o , 4 o which will be an inestimable boon to suffering huma ni ,, i `j o st one of the severest shapes of disease.
