THE RECENT STATISTICAL CONGRESS AT BRUSSELS Sundry important observations have just been addressed to the Government of this country, in reference to the infor mation communicated to the congress relative to the manage ment of statistical matters in different countries, and various important suggestions with a - view to increase the practical value of our own statics, home and foreign. It is very instructive to observe the methods in which officials returns of all kinds are treated in the various Govern ments; and there is every reason to hope, considering the influence of the several delegates, that the reports they make will not fail to teach the several foreign Governments how they may best improve their own statistical organization, by adopting the best methods employed by their neighbours. In this country, the Government officers prepare returns and reports, which, in the aggregate, are not inferior in extent and excellence to those of other countries. In France, the Ministers of Justice, of Commerce, and of Finance, have statistical sections in their respective offices, carrying on their departments independently of each other. In both countries there is a want of co-ordination in the official publications, and an absence of unity of plan and compendious digests for the use of the Governments and the public, by which much inconvenience is often produced, and the utility of the whole greatly curtailed. To this want of a comprehensive plan, embracing the official returns of both countries, attention is now being called. Austria, Prussia, Bavaria, and Denmark, resemble each other in having i the whole official statistics of each Govern ment prepared n one office, under a director, who consults and is consulted by the Ministers in the several depart ments. _ _ Belgium follows the example of Sardinia a llowing the several offices to work out the statistics of their own depart ments, on plans laid down by the central commission. It was the unanimous opinion of the members of the Congress, that the statistics of a country can be most effi ciently and beneficially conducted by bringing into close relation the several departments in which statistical enqui ries are carried on, or by classifying all the enquiries under one general direction. In the discussion of the advantages of the methods adopted in the three groups of countries above noticed, there was a very strong opinion in favour of a central statistical commission ; others were equally strong in favour of a statistical department which should have all the statistical operations of the country under its control, as is the case in Prussia. The Brussels d e l ega t es seemed to recollect where they came from, and very wisely, instead of pronouncing too clearly for or against new acts of centralization, seemed to think the various methods might depend on the character of each Government, and contented themselves with the maxim in favour of " that which is best administered." It may be expected, however, that the re ports returned to the several Governments represented in the Statistical Congress will prove that great advantages would accrue to the public service by adopting many of the modi fications recommended, and assimilating the statistical schemes of the different countries, so as to facilitate compa rison with each other. To our own Government it is recommended that a com mission should be appointed : —l. To classify the statistical reports and returns which are now periodically published in Great Britain, Ireland, the Colonies, and the East Indies ; 2. To report those particulars which should enter into the returns for all the parts of the empire, as well as those which should be restricted to the United Kingilom ; and 3. To pre pare examples of the condensed digests of the whole on a systematic plan, for publication decennially, annually, quar terly, or weekly. The Imperial statistics would naturally divide themselves into those of Great Britain, of Ireland, of the Colonies, of the East Indies, and of foreign States with which we hava internal relations. The following are the subjects which, with any additions that experience may suggest, it is recommended should be embraced in the statistics of the Empire :- 1. The revenue and expenditure well classified. 2. The civil and military establishments, and the officers and expenses of local governments. 3. The census of the population, at equal or corresponding intervaWof time. 4. The registration of marriages, births, deaths (and the causes of death). 5. Emigration and immigration. 6. The churches, scientiffc societies, schools, public insti tutions of various kinds connected with the moral and intel lectual progress of the empire. 7. Friendly societies, savings banks, institutions for the relief of the poor, charities, and social institutions. 8. Crimes and punishments. _ _ _ 9. Surveys, maps, descriptions, admeasurements of terri tory, indications of superficial and subterranean contents of the land, observations on temperature, rain, and other ele ments of climate. 10. Statistics of agriculture. 11. Statistics of industry, including manufactures 12. Statistics of commerce, variously subdivided, It is not recommended that a new statistical department should be created, as the important object proposed, viz., the establishment of a uniform plan for all those returns, could be secured by constituting a board composed of the heads of the several departments in which the statistical operations of the country are now conducted. All the greac catutuata..o aur2 vc,lai iv vab ry laic. aucL a 'maid might deem necessary, might be performed at some one of the existing offices, as is the case in Belgium, where the labours which the " Commission Centrale" directs are performed in a statistical department under the Minister of the Interior. It appears, from the comparison we have just had an op. portunity of making between our statistical operations and those of other countries, that in 50131 G Ifrtuiclies we are con siderably iu advance of them, while in others we are singu larly and discreditably in arrear. To three points in parti cular, the attention of the English Government has been called, and we invite that of the public :- 1. The marriages births, and deaths are left unreg i s t ere d in Scotland and Ireland. The Registrar-General for Ireland requires only the regis tration of Protestants. It has been sometimes alleged that the Roman Catholic priesthood of Ireland would oppose a complete system of registration in Ireland. It may be hoped, however, that this impression is unjust, especially as civil registration is encouraged in many Catholic countries quite as much as in those that are Protestant. It is quite time that Scotland and Ireland were at least on a level with Russia, throughout which a complete system of reg i s t ra ti on extends. 2. A second great defect in our statistics is the absence of agricultural and industrial returns._ _ _ — We have agricultural returns for Ireland, which require but very little improvement. Agriculture in England is so important a branch of national industry, the source of so much wealth, and on the whole so skilfully conducted, that there seems no reason why agricultural returns, as extensive and at least as correct as our commercial returns, should not be procured and published. The two series of returns would be equally useful, and would throw light on each other. An extensive series of returns of the culture and produce of the different soils in the various climates of the world, tend greatly to the advance of agriculture; and connected as agri culture is with questions of the subsistence of the population from year to year, would possess at all times extraordinary importance. S. Another great desideratum for this kingdom is a large and accurate map, on wid.ll all the varieties of the surface and every separate portion of immovable property can be dis tinctly traced, and which would form the real basis of all the statistics of the country. The Bavarian map and cadastre, which was shown at the Congress, is said to have cost £2,000,000. The Belgian maps are on the same scale, but in a better condition than those of France. It is suggested that we should have maps on the scale of 2.5 4 inches to a mile, the scale expressed on the Continent by the fraction 1-2,600, or, in decimals, .0004. Our English Ordnance map, 1 inch to the mile, would then occupy the place of the reduced map; the Irish map, produced by the triangulation of that country, is for several reasons inadequate. The Belgian com mission recommends that future cadastral maps should be con itructed more accurately than the existing Continental maps, and that they should be undertaken with more extended views to the promotion of public, scientific, and industrial purposes, not only supplying present demands, but anticipating the requirements of the future. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY.—The Plata, Captain Weller, belonging to the Royal Mail Company, left South hampton on Wednesday afternoon, with the usual West India and Mexican mails. She had on board a small amount of specie, 145 passengers, and a very full cargo. MADEIRA PINEAPPLES AND ORANGES.—.A parcel has been received by Messrs. Keeling and Hunt, being the first attempt at growth in any large quantity for this country. The failure of the vintage has turned the atten tion of the planters of the vine to the cultivation of oranges, 3,000 packages of which have already been sent to England during the past month. WATER BALLAST.—The novel mode of ballasting with water is n ow b e i ng t r i e d on b oa rd the Snipe, Captain Girdham. The water is secured in gutta peroha vessels, and the filling and emptying processes are simple and ex peditious. It is believed that much time and labour will be saved by this new method, and that in the end it will prove much cheaper than the old lab.rious plan.—Globe. COURT MARTIAL ON A NAVAL OFFICER. On Tuesday last, a court martial assembled at Portsmouth, on board the flag ship Victory, under the presidency of Rear Admiral Corry, to try Mr. Alexander Tate, Second Lieut• stunt of the Royal Marine corps,serving in the detatcbment on board the St. Jean d'Acre, on a charge of drunkenness. Com mander Peter Cracroft, of the St. Jean d'Acre, was the Admiralty prosecutor. First Lieutenant Tumour, R. N. , of the St.: Jean d'Acre, deposed that on the 19th u lt. h e saw the prisoner in rhelpless,state of drunkenness, so much so that he fell down ty). 4fter ladder; that he afterwards got on board a boat, but was drought back and placed under arrest. This evidence 4ini been corroborated, the prisoner said, in defence, tt i he had obtained two days' leave of absence, and that the 61,ifement occasioned by the prospect of speedily 'visiting r rids, coupled with that produced by the wine he had take 'itiatincheon, had overcome him. In consequence of the pri .es previous high character and conduct, which was spoken'to by several officers, he was adjudged only to be dismissed from Her Majesty's ship St. Jean d'Acre, and to be placed at the bottom of the list of lieutenants of the Royal Marine corps for one year. CENTRALIZATION IN MONEY. (From the London Constitutional.) We are indebted to a valued correspondent for the fol lowing communication upon a subject of pressing importance at the present moment. Colonel Thompson has admirably hit off some of the most striking absurdities of our money laws. That the present system is submitted to for a moment is a fact which testifies to the utter ignorance prevailing upon the most important and at the same time one of the simplest questions in the whole range of economical science. For what have we a board of money-lenders in London, elected by the private proprietors of a joint-stock bank; endued with the powers of legislation and government ; using those powers from time to time in such a way as powerfully to affect every trade and calling, and so every man, woman, and child in the British Dominions ; and yet guided in the employment of the most influential and for midable agencies thus mischievously placed at their command, solely by a regard to the private and selfish interests of themselves and their fellow proprietors ! Can centralisation be worse ? What were our Chambers of Commerce and Commercial Association doing, to permit such a power to be entrusted to a board of interested and irresponsible indivi duals ? Why do they not at once bestir themselves to free trade and production from a grasp so fatal ? Laissez faire, cry . the political economists whenever it has been suggested to interpose central or local authority between the strong and the weak, between the infant operative and the dynasty of cotton, between the cheated work-people and their truck paying employer. " Let us alone," said the French mer chants to the meddling monarch who offered to protect their trade and regulate it for their benefit. But what, in the whole range of legislative interference between capital and labour, ancient and modern, is to be compared for unsoundness in principle and evil in result, with a contrivance by which twelve (or twenty-four) irresponsible "Directors" can at pleasure check, regulate, and mischievously interfere with the concerns of every trade, and every description of indus try, in every counting-house and work-room of Manchester, Leeds, or Glasgow ? We are gladto see our friends in the north awakening to a sense of their miserable servitude. The following passa ges are extracted from the first number of a daily newspaper, the Northern Times, lately originated by gentlemen connec ted with the two great foci of commerce—Manchester and Liverpool, and which, if it continues as it has begun, is likely to prove a formidable rival to its southern contempor aries. " If," says the writer, " money be the moving ele ment of production, the] producer should never lose sight of its perfect control. If it has a function to perform in the distribution of production, the bona fide producers should never allow the power of using it and directing its use to pass from their hands. If its accumulation, as the result of honest industry and legitimate enterprise, bestows moral power or political distinction, who will venture to question the right of the producers to manage the reward of their labour ? That the North of England does produce more than seven-eights of the whole manutactures of the three kingdoms, and that Liverpool is the great centre of distri bution for three-fourths of the world's production, no one denies. Why. then, does the north, why does Liverpool hold a second-class position in monetary circles at home and abroad ? If bullion is to remain the basis of our currency ; if gold can be sustained as our standard of value with safety to the creditor-interest, surely the traders of the North, as the largest realizers and holders of bullion, may be entrusted with the management of their own gold, without endangering any one of the fundamental principles of our existing monetary institutions. Of the thirty-five-and-a-half millions of gold imported into Eng land within the last two years, at least three-fifths of the whole amount is the property of the Northern manufactur ers, shipowners. and merchants ; and it is a matter of uni versal amazement that these men, who have but one legiti mate pursuit--one idea—one hope—production ! produc tion ! should passively surrender the great moving power of their commercial existence to a conclave of gentlemen sitting in Threadneedle-street, whose collective wisdom certainly has not done so much for their country or civilization as the humble and industrious sons of the North." This argument seems to us incapable - of being answered, either logically or by an appeal to facts. The single ques tion is, Has this conclave of private bankers in London any power whatever to alter at discretion the relations of capital and labour—buyer and seller—debtor and creditor ? Can they, by a stroke of the pen, without notice, without appeal, and without compensation—by altering however slightly, the interest of money, alter the value of loanable capital, and so, of every description of investment and pro perty in the country ? It would be a waste of argument to show that no such power ought to be deposited in the hands of any man or body of men, either in London or elsewhere. It is equally clear that with our present system of credit, "an enormous superstructure," as Sir R. Peel termed it, " built upon the very smallest basis" of actual cash — credit depending upon " confidence, " and confidence liable to be destroyed for months or years by emer gencies or rumours that may arise at any moment—in such a system, we say, the minutest exercise of such a power over the whole circulating medium of the country, is fraught with extensive mischief and danger to society. If, then, such a power exists--experience has shown it largely ex erted, and no one surely will assert that it does not exist at all—it ought at once to cease, and by its cessation relieve our commercial system from much of the present alterna .a.— nnd .woos 4.11er whioh caSIC v 6 IG. Thu tiuua,luo. of abolishing the mischievous powers of the Bank of England necessarily involves a consideration of its present sources of profit, and its remuneration for services to the Executive Government. This consideration is effectually disposed of by our correspondent. The Bank has received by the na tional grace a charter conferring considerable privileges ir respective of this mischievous one of increasing its divi dends by tampering with the currency. It has abundant other sources of profit, without being permitted to betake it self to this. A charter let it still have, but let that charter be granted solely upon. terms of unmixed advantage to the community. Let it no longer be permitted to exploiter (or job) the circulation in the smallest degree. Let its rate of discounts for good paper be fixed within certain limits. Let advantage be reaped by its shareholders rather from the steadiness than (as at present) from the fluctuations of the money market. If it be a hardship to prohibit the Bank from making money too cheap when its store of bullion happens to be plentiful, or to compel the Bank to issue notes at reasonable rates of interest when coin, though adundant, in fact may, through fear of ocarcity, be hoarded and unobtainable,—let this hardship be fairly met and com pensated. If the Bank Directors are still dissatisfied, they eau but resign their charter. If they will not continue to discharge the functions of note-printers or paper-money issuers to the community, that function can be readily dis charged by a special department like the Mint or the Post office, merely acting ministerially —devoid of any mischievous discretion, and endowed with no power over the rate of interest, i. e. over the capital which_ forms the only source of ,industrial operations. We may hereafter return to this important subject; meanwhile we direct attention to the remarks with which we have been favoured by one whose life-long services to the cause of free-trade, though it has been the fashion to forget them fora time, will probably fill a larger page in history than some great platform celebrities, and whose thorough mastery of every topic of economical science exceeds beyond all question that possessedby any other living writer. MUSIC, MALT, AND HOPS.—Messrs. Bass and Co. the teetotallers will be glad to hear, have published a circu lar in the name of the Burton Pale Ale Brewers, announcing the intention of raising the price of their beer by 6s. per cask. This concert amon&• the brewers, with a Bass for leader, exhibits some novelties in harmony. The Bass rises instead of descending into the scale of price, and by thus in creasing in height, will, strange to say, reach up to double bass. One step more will raise it to treble bass ; but that will be a contradiction in terms, and absolutely ridicu lous.—Punch. THE CONVICT AND HIS FAMILY.—SOIDO six Or seven and twenty years ago, there was a notorious gang of desperate offenders in Felmersham, whose frequent depreda tions spread terror throughout the place and neighbourhood. At length sure footed justice overtook the desperadoes in their career, and most, if not all, of them were transported, some of them for their natural lives. Amongst these was one man of the name of Corstin. About the time he went to gaol at Bedford, his wife gave birth to a son. That son, we under stand, he never saw. The lad grew up an idle, ragged, wretched being, who led a ;loose, dissolute life, always sus pected, and frequently in the hands of the police. Twenty years after his father's trial and conviction, this son was con • victed of petty larceny, at Bedford. On his release from prison he hung about Felmersham a little longer, then plucking up a spirit, he enlisted in a foot regiment, and subsequently visited his native place once, if not twice, on furlough, previous to the embarkation of the regiment for India ; and certainly it was most gratifying to his friends to witness the metamorphosis he had undergone. In addition to the great improvement in his appearance —once a mean, dirty, slovenly-looking lad, now a smart, active, brisk young soldier, he had undergone a moral change as well. It was, certainly, somewhat amusing to hear the once young profligate chiding his quondam companions for their profane vulgarity, and giving them a few words of whole some advice. To return to his parents. Many years after his father's banishment, his mother, considering herself in the con dition of a widow, especially as the sentence was "death recorded" against her husband, married again to a person named Neal, by whom she has a family. Some few weeks ago a stranger, well furnished with the golden fruits of Aus tralia, s isited Felmersham. He was soon recognized to be the veritable transport himself, who by his reformed conduct had at length obtained his free pardon, and by his industry and hard labour had become the possessor of both land and money, and had undertaken a voyage from Australia, where he had been lately residing, on purpose to take back his son to that now " land of promise." On arriving in England, he was greatly disappointed to find his son had sailed, but we believe it is his intention to purchase his discharge. The most touching circumstance, however, connected with his visit was that of his wife's being married again, and residing in the village. The poor woman was much confused when she heard of his return, but her mind was somewhat set at rest when she found he had no intention of reclaiming her, chiefly on account of the family she had by her present husband. After an interview with her, which was rather of an exciting character, he bade farewell to England, and is now on his passage, accompanied by a nephew, back to that land which is absorbing so much of the youth, the manhood, the energy, and the enterprise of this great centre of civilisation,—Bedford Mercury. IRELAXD (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) DUBLIN, THURSDAY, THE EXHIBITION BANQUET One of the most magnificent entertainments that ever took place in Dublin, was given last night, in the King's Room of the Mansion House, to Wil liam Dargan, and the Executive Committee of the Exhibition. There were over 600 persons present, The Chair was taken by William Fry, Esq., T.C., on whose right sat the guest of the evening. Amongst the distinguished individuals present, were :—The Lord Mayor, the Lord Chancellor, Lord Clancarty, Lord Massareene, Lord Talbot de Malahide, Lord Ward, Lord Gougli, Lord Ross more, Lord Bective, Lord Bessborough, Sir Her vey Brno°, Sir A. Brooke, Sir P. Nugent, Sir. J. Benson, Sir W. M. Somerville, Sir C. Roney, &c. Grace having been said, ____ ..._ The Chairman iose and said it was customary on such occasions as this to propose certain toasts, which the press disposed of by saying, " the usual toasts having been drunk." But he was sure the company would remember that the Queen herself had been an exhibitdr, that she and her royal con sort had sent several valuable and interesting articles to the exposition, and afterwards done that which had given them still greater delight. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) They all remembered the cir cumstance which had caused a postponement of the royal visit for some time—namely, illness in the royal family. However, they were all acquainted with the circumstances of the royal visit, and of the visit to Mr. Dargan, which he believed every Irishman considered to be a compliment paid to himself individually. (Great cheering.) He had no hesitation in saying that that was one of the most popular acts of her Majesty's popular reign. (Cheers.) This was the Sovereign whose health he proposed ; and with those observations he gave them, " The Queen." (Drunk with nine times nine.) Air —" God save the Queen"—the entire company join ing in.the chorus to the National Anthem, with an exceed ingly fine effect. The next toast was that of Prince Albert, after Which the Chairman proposed " The Lord-Lieute nant. and Prosperity to Ireland." The Lord Chancellor responded to the toast of " The Lord Chancellor and the Irish Bench." Lord Gough acknowledged " The Army and Navy and Lord Gough." Letters of apology were then read from the Lord Lieutenant, the Sheriff of London, the Mayor of Liverpool, the Mayor of Manchester, the Marquis Of Kildare, and others. The Chairman stated that Mr. Acheson, who was the mover of the address to the Executive Commit tee, would proceed to read it. Mr. Acheson accordingly came forward and read the following address : TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE GREAT INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION 3lst October, 1853 MY LORDS AND GENTLRMEN,—We, the committee of the exhibitors at the Great Industrial Exhibition of 1853 tako this opportunity of expressing our sentiments respecting the memorable events of the past year. Scarcely twelve months ago our country had barely re covered from the effects of poverty and distress, struggling for self-dependence with unwonted energy, to attain to a prosperous condition, and receiving her reward when the usual exhibition of manufactures under the auspices of the Royal Dublin Society was announced. It is known to all the world how our generous and dis tinguished countryman, William Dargan, came forward to render the exhibition not only worthy of Ireland, but a suitable sequent to that of 1851. We are fully aware of the great difficulties connected with the formation and arrangement of so large and splendid an undertaking, and how much depended on the exertions of those appointed to carry them out ; in a wore', upon the exertions of the committee depended success or failure. My Lords and Gentlemen, we are proud of the opportu nity of congratulating you upon the entire success of this undertaking, that your labours have had their reward, not only in the general approbation of your countrymen, but also of our Sovereign and the numerous visitors from Great Britain, the Continent, and America. But, whilst bestowing upon you onr warmest approbation for your untiring zeal, we are not forgetful of the man who has done so much good for Ireland, whose disinterested generosity has won for him the name of national benefactor. To William Dargan we owe the great benefits arising from the Exhibition—to him we owe the breaking down the barrier which seemed to exist between England and Ireland, in one short season pouring a flood of wealth, not only into this city, but into the entire country, the effects of which will, we trust, be felt in succeeding years. _ _ _ Beyond this we hail the great advantage of having given an impetus to industrial pursuits and self -dependence. We must repeat that, notwithstanding the great co-operation he has received from you, we cannot find words sufficiently strong to express our admiration of William Dargan, who has refused title, for it could not dignify him,—who has decline' rank, for it could not ennoble him,—and who, we rejoice fo say, has received from our most gracious Sovereign the highest honour it was in her power to pay a subject. With lasting sentiments of esteem, and best wishes for the futiire happiness of you all, we have the honour to remain, my lords and gentlemen, your's, &c. . . Signed on behalf of the committee, W. FRY, Chairman. JOHN CLASSON, Hon. Sera. W. H. KERR, Alderman Roe returned the following reply : MEI. FRY, MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN.--Permit me to express, on behalf of the Committee of the Great Iniustrial Exhibition, our warmest obligations for the valuable testimony you have just borne to onr exertions in promoting the suness of that great enterprise. Selected by Mr. Dargan and by the Royal Dublin Society to assist him in carrying his unexampled and munificent project into execution, we rejoice to find that the manner in which we have discharged the trust reposed in us has mei with your approval. While we cordially unite with you in ascribirg to our dis tinguished fellow-countryman all honour for his patriotic con duct, we cannot forget that his liberality would have been fruitless, had he not received such generous suiport from those whose contributions in arts and manufactures graced the noble pile he erected for their reception. To the exhibitors from foreign countries, as well as those from the sister kingdom and our own island. we would there fore desire to express our best thanks for that noble collection, the examination of which has gratified mad instructed our people. If it shall be found, as we confidently believe it will, that the interests of trade and commerce hare been benefited by this Exhibition, the best wishes of William Dargan will have been realized, and our labours amply rewarded. In the high honour which has been sc gracefully accorded to him by our beloved Sovereign, the dignity of human labour has been recognised in a manner which has made a deep impression on her subjects, and will form one of the most interesting and instructive events in the history of this country. Reciprocating with sincerity the kind sentiments with which your address concludes, we have the honour to be, Mr. Fry, my lords and gentlemen, your faithful servants, GEORGIC RoE, Chairman , The Chairman then proposed the Health of ' The Executive Committee, and Mr. Alderman Roe." Mr. Alderman Roe, on returning thanks, stated, amid loud cheers, that Mr. Dargan had requested him to announce that he was quite satisfied with the pecuniary results of the Exhibition. The Chairman then proposed " The Health of William Dargan," which was received with loud aad continued cheering. _ Mr. Dargan, on rising to respond, was received with enthusiastic cheers. He said—Mr. Chairnan, my lords, and 'gentlemen, I thank you most deeply and most sincerely for the honour you have done me by the cordiality, the good feeling, and the ap preciation which I discovered in that hearty cheer with which I was received and delighted. (Cheers.) There are many classes of men in the community performing their own duties with every attention, every care, and every justice ; but the man who, upon his own intelligence, in the application of his own energies, —who, in the applicaticn of that gifted mind which so peculiarly belongs, to the manufacturer, the artist, and the genius, —who, whilst he is prosecuting his own legitimate ob ject for his own advantage, by its advancement spreads the blessings and benefits which the em ployment of labour gives, to sustain the rich and support the poor,—it is from this class of men, whom I believe. to be the great stay in human so ciety for its advancement, that I have now received this distinguished honour. (Hear, hear.) And I can truly say that there is no compliment that could have Come upon me with equal force, with equal value to my own feelings, as that conferred upon Me by men of my own station, arid prosecuting my own duties. (Cheers.) I may now tell you, who have contributed so largely to what we all, thank goodness, are able to feel—though at one time we have thought there was a great doubt of our suc cess; but I can now point to what we did under the management of a number of gentlemen who have taken up the duties here without any pros pect of reward, except the approbation of their cbuntrymen. These gentlemen displayed an amount of skill, of judgment, and of untiring per severance, that I never before saw equalled by any gentlemen who gave up their time for the THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. furtherance of any prospect. (Loud cheers.) It is a very high gratification,for, as I said before, there was a time when even the most sanguine amongst us was doubtful,—to come to this period, and to feel, as I think the proceedings of this meeting give evidence of, that in our experiment we have been most successful. (Cheers). If no other result had occurred from our exhibition than the visit of our gracious Queen, who came to stamp with notice and with dignity her appreciation of labour and its results which were set before her—labour and art, and genius, as displayed in this Exhibition—l think it would amply repay us for all the trouble we have had. (Cheers). But Ido hope that other and more lasting results will come from it (hear, hear). I hope that, now we know the way and know what can be done by labour, and by intelligence, and by genius, having had not only our own but the kind and co-operative assistance of exhibitors from all other countries, that we will from this time go for ward and progress in our manufactures. And Ido hope that the result of this Exhibition, which has been so kindly and so efficiently managed by those gentlemen whom I have mentioned, who gave up their time so kindly in superintending its arrange ments, will prove beneficial to the country. (Hear, hear). In regard to that Exhibition I may justly say that I never felt greater pleasure in any under taking in which I was engaged. (Cheers). In its results I am still better pleased, and if anything were wanted to gratify and satisfy me as to the value and the advantages which the country has derived from it, I would find it in the cordial, co operative, and generous tribute which has been paid to the committee and to myself, by the exhibi tion this evening. (Cheers). I will not trespass further on you, and I again beg to thank you most humbly and sincerely for the honour you have done me. (Loud cheers). Some other toasts having been proposed, the company separated. TRIAL OF MISS CANTWELL, Yesterday, the prosecutors went into a rebutting case, to which Mr. M`Donogh, Q.C., spoke on the part of the defence. Mr. Robertson, Q.C., then re plied for the prosecution, and the Chief Baron having summed up, At five minutes past five o'clock the jury retired, and in less than three minutes returned into court with a verdict Of ACQUITTAL. On the announcement of the verdict, the court presented a scene of extraordinary excitement. The people who thronged the galleries rose simul taneously, and, breaking through all the restraint imposed by the regulations of a judicial assembly, cheered vociferously. The ladies who lined the front benches waved their handkerchiefs, and with' emphatic and animated gesticulations expressed their exultation at the acquittal of their friend, whom they pressed forward from all sides to em brace and congratulate. The whole building was fuil of tumult and confusion ; repeated and vigorous cheers were given for the jury, while groans as hearty and prolonged were bestowed on those en gaged in the prosecution. The Chief Baron, having meanwhile left the bench, gave directions to the. sheriff to have any one apprehended who should be detected giving such expression to their feelings, and directed that the police should immediately clear the court. The multitude outside were . equally enthusiastic in their joyous manifestations. An action for false imprisonment will be com menced forthwith against Messrs. Cannock and White. THE LATE RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—An application was made yesterday in the Court of Queen's Bench to admit to bail Goss and O'Hara, the engine-drivers and Stoker, committed by the coroner for manslaughter. Its hearing was postponed till Saturday. ACCIDENT TO THE CAMBRIA, HOLYHEAD STEAMER.— Saunders of to-day, says : —We regret to learn that some casualties arose from an accident on Monday evening to this vessel. Several people were injured by the catastrophe ; one lady, a Mrs. Nugent from Leamington, received a simple fracture of the right leg. Two servants of Major Heart, 49th Regiment, were also badly injured, one receiving a spinal injury and fractures of both bones of the left forearm ; the second, a nurse, received a compound fracture of the right leg, attended by severe laceration, probably dangerous to life, and likely to terminate in amputation. Mr. D. J. Dinjam and Mr. J. W. Wilson, assistant-surgeon Royal Navy, who were fortunately both passengers at the time, relinquished their journey to London until night in order to afford medical aid to the sufferers. BISHOP CANTWELL AND THE INCOME TAX.—A supple mental correspondence has been published under the above hond, in which tile Income-tax Commissioners apologise for havinc , addressed Dr. C an t we ll as th e R ev. J o h n C antwe ll . A fresh paper is to be furnished giving the bishop his "episcopal designation," after which the commissioners hope he will have no difficulty in filling up the form. "The bishop" however, still declares. that not a particle of his doubts have been removed. FATAL ACCIDENT TO A COACH.—The Kilkenny Moderator states :—We deeply regret to announce the occurrence of a most melancholy and fatal calamity which took place on Monday night at Grazirli-bridge, at the junction of the counties of Kilkenny and Waterford, and which was caused by the flooding of the marshy ground there owing to the in cessant rain for the past few days. It appears that some of the passengers by the train of the Waterford and Kilkenny railway, which arrives at Dunkitt from this city at eight o'clock p.m, set out from thence for Waterford by .a two horse coach. The inside passengers were a Mr. Norwood, jeweller of Dublin, who had £lOOO worth of jewelry with him, a Mrs. Barron of Waterford, and Mr. Thomas Naylor, commercial traveller to the firm of Binks and Co. Liverpool. The night was extremely dark and wet, and the road being covered with water to the depth of from four to five feet, it was extremely difficult to guide the horses, and whilst in the deepest portion one of the wheels got off the road, and upset the vehicle into the ditch. The driver contrived to cut the traces and free the horses, which were kicking furiously. Mr. Norwood forced his way through the window, and gained the inside of the coach, which was uppermost. Mr. Naylor, before thinking of providing for his own safety, assisted Mrs. Barron to follow Mr. Norwood through the window, but lost his life through his generous solicitude for the lady's extrication, as whilst he was attempting to follow her, the vehicle lu rc h e d t o one s id e, sunk deeper, became filled with water, and the generous fellow was haplessly drowned, his companions having been unable to render. him any assistance. The other passengers scrambled back to the Kilkenny side of the marsh, and remained there in the most pitiable condition during the night, and finding shelter in some miserable cabins. The last that was seen of the driver, named Cummins, was his mounting one o f th e h orses an d attempting to ride through the flood towards Waterford. We understand he' has not since been heard of, and it is feared that he perished. We are indebted for these par ticulars to the kindness of Mr. James Wright, of 45, Dame street, Dublin, who passed the scene of the catastrophe yesterday, and states that poor Naylor's body was still within the coach, the latter being completely submerged. Mr. Norwood attempted at eight o'clock the same night to pass from the Waterford side of the marsh, with the object of coming on to Kilkenny, but the driver of his ve hi c l e , finding the water so deep on the road, providentially advised him to return, which he did. We understand the unfortunate Mr. Naylor has left a widow and nine young children to deplore his untimely fate. THE VACANT SEE.--The Dean of Elphin, the Dean of Raphoe, and Di. 3PNeece, Regius Professor of. Divinity in Trinity College, are mentioned as aspirants to this office. AWFUL CALAMITY IN BASS'S BREWERY.--LELSt week ten thousand barrels of ale—(just advanced 6s. per barrel) in Bass's brewery were turned sour by the thunder of— the Times.—Punch. The Cologne Gazette, of Tuesday, publishes a despatch from Vienna, to the effect that, in consequence of impediments which have arisen, the directors of the Danube Steam Navigation Company have issued a notification that the steamers on the Lower Danube have stopped running. RATHER TOO NICE.---A strict busines man of our acquaintance is so extremely particular in all his transac tions, that since the new Act came in force, he never has been known to pay a compliment, without insisting upon taking a stamped receipt.—Punch. The North British Daily Mail says :—" We be lieve that some of the shippers at Leith have received infor mation that their vessels lying at Cronstadt have teceived notice from the British Consul to be in readiness to put to sea at four or five hours' notice, with or without cargo. REVIEWING.—The review of a young girl's life is frequently like any other review—a quantity of smoke, and noise, with here and there a red coat seen through it.— Punch. CENTRALIZATION. The commissioners of Sewers are decidedly in favour of this plan, for their drains are so admirably managed that every man's nose, merely by passing one, is immediately made the (s) centre of it. -- Piszch. THE MILKY. WAY IN LANCASHIRE.—MarIy• of the farmers about Preston are giving their cows apples, in consequence of that fruit being more plentiful, and so much cheaper, than potatoes. We wonder whether this difference of diet produces any difference in the milking; and whether a cow, so fed, instead of yielding so Many pints of milk, gives now so many bottles of cider ; or whether it was a combination of both—a sort of milk-cider ? In the cause of temperance, We pause for a reply .--Punch. THE WAY OF TEMPERANCE. " Education", (says the Times) "is the half-way house to Temperance." But judging from the ignorant way in which many of our rabid advocates of Teetotalism act and talk, we should say it was a house that, very few. of them ever stopped. at.— .Punch. POLICE OOUR T.----YESTERDAY CAUTION TO UNLICENSED LUGGAGE PORTERS.—James Derby, appeared in answer to a charge laid against him by officer 301, whom he found on board the Mona's Queen applying for luggage, he not having obtained a license. The MAYOR : We are continually receiving complaints of those luggage porters, without licenses, who rush on board the steamboat on her immediate arrival at the pier head—carpet bags flew in one direction, trunks and port maneaus in another. It is a very unjust thing for those who do apply and get their licenses regularly, it is requisite that the men should be men of known character and repu tation, and who are responsible to the authorities for the exercises of their trusts.—He was fined 10s. and costs. William Squire, an apprentice on board the vessel ITud scott, was charged by Owen Reardon, captain of the Hud scott, with' deserting the vessel on Wednesday night last, between eight and nine o'clock. The captain not wishing to press the case against the prisoner, and he promising the mayor that he would go back to his vessel, and behave better for the future, he was accordingly discharged and conveyed to the vessel by an officer. STABBING.—Mary lOGlashin was charged by James Riley, a labourer, with stabbing him twice in the face, in Scotland-road. —lt appeared that prosecutor had been drinking in Mr. Bourne's public-house, Scotland-road, and had paid for some drink there, shortly after he went out, s and leaned up against a druggist's door, when the prisoner came out of the public-house, and went to him and deli berately stabbed him in the face twice, the wounds were not severe. Two more witnesses were called, and corro borated the evidence of the former witness. The knife was seen in her hand. After prisoner had stabbed piosecu tor, she ran into the public-house, where she was appre hended. The prisoner was committed to take her trial at the sessions. ASSAULT.—Two men named Maddox and Roberts ware charged with assaulting Mr. - Box at his residence, in Juvenile Place. Maddox was ordered to pay 10s. and costs, or ix imprisoned for 21 days ; Roberts was di sc h arge d. COMMITTALS.—Thomas Nichols was sentenced to 21 days' imprisonment on Wednesday, for stealing a blue pilot coat from the Isle of Man steamer, lying at the pier head. The coat was the property of James Lavry, a sailor, belonging to the boat. Bridget Cain was arrested on Wednesday, with a quantity of cotton in her apron, belonging to Mr. Brancker, Dixon street. Committed for three months. Thomas Jones, a well-known pick-pocket, was imprisoned for three months, for attempting to pick a gen tl eman ' s pocket, at the fire in the London-road, on Wednesday night. _ - Anthony Session was convicted of stealing on yesterday morning, a piece of copper from the Sandon Graving dock, belonging to the ship Ann Rose. He had been six times before committed, and was now ordered to be imprisoned ,for three months. John Williams, a notorious pick-pocket, who had been five times before committed, was now imprisoned for three months, he being, on Thursday, arrested by one of the detective force, attempting to rifle pockets in the ladies' (cabin of the Marco Polo. I Patrick Calve!, found on Wednesday night in the act of stealing a can, containing about a quart of rum, from th e !Acanthus, West Indian ship, lying in the Victoria Dock, was treated as a drunken case, and fined 55. ; or three days' imprisonment. _ ; the her a l t . h p t t e a ' 7 .iaravlpyjsilisi::::eaeptstsohoafhBosesehfemehol officer r v fe arppsu ricnealso c s ehilt picking John Roberts, and Frank Fortcroft, the 'two latter well-known young thieves, whose smooth well ;clad aspect betokened that their trade had latterly been a good one, were charged with being on Wednesday afternoon IN it i l r il .

THE CHARGE OP RAPE AGAINST A POLICEMAN.— .Thomas was again put forward, and Mr. Clough stated that in this case there was no other evidence. - The Bench said that this was a most • atrocious and vile assault, and it was after some deliberation that de cided on not sending it for trial ; there they had doubt as to the graver offence, and tey were willing ,a prisoner the benefit of it. But there were very bandgfteoatglves n the case. - The prisoner had abused the confidence placedure a g kr w gn J a speoadowmc nke James with t t os . taken.initt the eOet hnArpeawnoploa s l ei lady, , who had been n him as an inmate of the house, and had forgotten his posi tion as a public officer. They should inflict th e hi g h est penalty hat the law allowed them, which was two months' impri tonment or £5 fine; but in doing so they felt that it was a unishment quite inadequate for the irreparable injury done this young girl. The prisoner would, of course,. be dismissed ihe force. GAROTTE ROBBERY.—COMMITTAL TO ASSIZES.—Jane ickson, Tohn Clark, William Wilks, and Michael Flynn, f e o r i e ly, ch o a f r r ge r d es , t wi on t , h at stealing from the on W pe e r d so n n es o d f ay Michael night, ye shillings and a hat. The prosecutor, who appeared a kespectable man, said that he Ns as coming down Howard street, when he was accosted by the female prisoner, who ;ook hold of him by the arm, and succeeded in pulling him a little up Vulcaa-sheet, (a cross street, very dark and composed alone of warehouses). Here he was immediately set upon by the three male prisoners, who half-choked him by seizing him by the throat, and having knocked him down, brutally kicked and assaulted him. They then rob bed him of two half-crowns, cutting and tearing off his pocket. The prosecutor fully identified all the prisoners, v - ho were well known to the police. All four were sent for trial at the next assizes. THE KNIFE—STABBING CASE.—Fanny Ferns, a young ;woman of the town, was charged with stabbing a boy, about sixteen years of age, named John Bennett, yesterday *ruing, about two o'clock, in Ford-street. The prosecutor said that at the hour named, he was returning with three other youths, from supping in a cook shop, after the play, when their attention was attracted by moans in Ford.-street, and imagining they proceeded from some woman in distress, they went up the street and Saw a female stooping over a cellar st e p s , an d groan i ng !very much. Imagining that the woman was hurt, pro secutor stooped over her and laid his hand on her shoulder, at the same time asking her." what was the matter?" The prisoner immediately jumped up and struck the prosecutor with a knife on the side of the face, inflicting a severe wound. She then shouted out " Grimes " and " Knoaks," and two men rushed down an entry armed with pokers. The police came up soon afterwards, and arrested the girl, who dropped the knife from her hand, and prosecutor charged her as the per son who had wounded him. (The knife was produced, and was one precisely similar to that by which the policeman met his death on Tuesday.) The officers took the lad to the dispensary, where the medical attendants found a wound of two inches, such as a knife would produce. The magistrates said that cases of this kind were now un fortunately becoming so common, that they had determined to endeavour to put an end to them. They, should therefore send the prisoner for trial at the assizes. OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRETENCES.—A man named Goldin, of respectable appearance, was charged with obtaining money under false pretences. From the evidence it appears that the prisoner went to Mr. Garity, and desired him to send a box of cigars to Mr. Jones, Everton. The prosecutor said he had no objection, as he . was a customer, and he sent his shop bay with the 'agars, giving him at the time a receipted bill. The boy returned, bringing back the bill, but left the cigars, and said Mr. Jones was out. The prisoner went next day to Mrs. Jones and received a guinea for the cigars, and gave her a receipt. In the mean time Mr. Garity, the prosecutor, sent his boy for payment of the cigars; Mrs. Jones told the lad that she had paid it, and showed him the receipt, she afterwards called down to Mr. Garity and informed him of all that had passed, on which Mr., Garity had the prisoner apprehended. He was re manded for seven days. A fruit vender.was brought up, charged with stealing a quantity of grain, . weighing 281b5., found concealed in her basket with the apples over it. She was committed for 14 days. WOMEN'S RIGHTS—MEN'S NOSES.—The female members, advocating Women's Rights in New York, have had a terrific engagement with Lloyd Garrison and others on the subject of Christianity. Peace, love, and humility dissolved in a general row.' The ladies could not con. vince Lloyd Garrison; and so one of their female champion s pulled his nose ! This is truly the arqumentum ad hominem. A man's skull may be so dense that not even female argu ments piercingly delivered may penetrate to his brain ; but if argument be too subtle, there is still the convincing thumb and finger. Missing a man's conviction, the noblest appeal to his reason is unquestionably, to pull his nose ! We hear that a pair of silver gauntlets have been presented by the Christian ladies to their champion who pulled the nose of the stout Garrison. Indeed, he pulled it so vigorously, it was at first thought he had quite carried it.—.Punch._. WREXHAM AND RTITHIN RAILWAY.—A new line of railway from Wrexham to Ruthin is projected. It is to be 1.91 miles in length, and is to be formed at a cost of 6,0001. per mile, a remarkably low estimate, but one which, it is said, is fully borne out by the nature of the ground over which it is to pass, no tunnelling, heavy bridge-work, or deep cutting, being required. Wrexham is the centre of a populous mineral and manufacturing district, and Ruthin is the assize town of the county. The Shrewsbury and Chester Railway Company, with the . principal landowners, have ap proved of the scheme, and it is said the former company will, when constructed, take powers for its working. The traffic on the line in coals from the collieries of Brymbo, Ruabon, Coedporth, &e., is expected to be considerable. AN ARMY OF RESERVE.—The foreign correspon dent of the Times announces that the Porte has issued an address, " calling on those troops whose courage may fail them to avow the fact without hesitation, so that they may be employed at a distance from the scene of combat." For our own parts, having more of the civil than the military in our composition, we sould expect the invitation to be rather generally responded to, as the scenery of a combat is of that kind with reference to which " distance lends enchantment to the view." If the majority of the troops of the Porte should make a "candid avowal" of their desire to remain at a respectful distance from the scene of action, the whole affair might become " void for remoteness"—as the lawyers expressly have it.—Punch.
