character ;" but it would not be one that it is at all desirable to have in such a representative as sembly. History abounds with examples—many of them very dismal ones indeed—of the mischiefs which even one sort of such " variety of charac ter " may do among the commons of England. The democratic element, we humbly conceive, already prevails with quite sufficient influence in the House of Commons. The interests of the country,—if those interests are inseparably con nected with the stability of our monarchial insti tutions, which we contend they are,—can never be benefitted by any greater predominance of such an influence in that House. Of course, we are waiving altogether any con troversy on the subject of representation as a natural right. We repudiate altogether any such right as respects the representation of the people in Parliament. Were it natural, it must needs be equal; and the right, moreover, of one sex as Well as of the other. And yet, who ever heard projected any plan of representation that did not begin by excluding all women, and thus at once Prohibiting at least a full moiety from a right which is pretended to be inherent in all, and one which our democrats do not hesitate to represent as not only universal, but inalienable and inde feasible ? No,—if it be a right at all, it is only to be considered so in so far as it may conduce to Public utility—in so far as it may contribute to the establishment of good laws, and secure to the People the just administration of those laws. These, however, are results which must ever de- Pend upon the ability, and the disposition, of the r epresentatives themselves. And the argument is, therefore, incontrovertible, that the men most lik ely, by their qualifications, thus to know and promote the public interest, must be men selected, hot by ignorance and disaffection, or even by th e POpUlur plausibilities of the times, but by the intelligence, the loyalty, the virtue, and the e stYectability of the country. Where is another consideration that deserves the most serious attention in proposing to lower the elective franchise in the way which Lord J ° ll ls7 RUSSELL'S bill provides for. That provision, we have shown, will not include any of those hundreds of thousands of respectable and educated Persons who do not happen to be householders; but it will introduce, in their stead, a class of persons necessarily inferior in every social and intellectual P oi nt of view to the present £lO householders. N ew, among whom has it been found that bribery at elections most commonly prevails ? In almost `emery ease that has lately come before Committees 'of the House of Commons, has it not been clearly shown, that bribery and corruption are almost entirely confined to the lowest class of voters? And if that lowest class, under a £lO rental fran chise, are found to be so open to corrupt infiu etre, may it not most reasonably be apprehended, an evil will be extended and aggravated ' ri der the operation of a lower franchise still ? 'Wen a -..., n ot mean to say that the people who will thus be enfranchised are all of necessity, morally inferior to those immediately se above them. But the very circumstance of their occupying houses at a lower rental tin -Plies that they must be, generally speaking, the more necessitous classes. And, with such, it is altogether a question of tempta tion. The poor elector is selected to be tampered with, just because, unfortunately, he happens to be poor. It may be no fault of his, but rather his Misfortune, that he is so ; and when he is t hus tempted, and yields, he can only say with SUARESPERE'S poor apothecary— " My poverty, and not my - will consents." We are not of those who have much hope of ex terminating altogether the vice of bribery. So long as there are persons ready to be bribed, will there be found, it is to be feared, those who will not scruple to tempt them ; and we may depend upon it, as a rule, that the greater the poverty the greater the chance of such temptation pre vailing. Let Parliament pass what enactment it may, for the suppression of such an evil, so long as human nature remains what it is, we fear that bribery and corruption among the lower classes of electors will still continue the curse of such a system. Under all the circumstances, therefore, we think it must be evident to every impartial mind, that the Reform Bill of Lord JOHN RUSSELL is manifestly inferior to that of Mr. DISRAELI. It 18 so, most assuredly, in the respect we have here Pointed. out ; and should it unhappily pass with (nit a n y modification of that, its only provision 'which recommends it to those who have ulterior 13 biects in view—we mean the democrats of the country.—it may justly be feared that it will have the effect of deteriorating the character of the Rouse of Commons in no slight degree—of subverting long-established and settled rules of P arliamentary representation—and thereby, in- Stead of promoting, rather impairing the great interests of the country. THE LATEST NEWS. LET BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.I FRANCE. PARIS, March 3. The Moniteur contains a message from M. T houvenel, the French Ambassador at . Turin. • Thouvenel proposes complete annexation of -Parma and Modena to Sardinia, vicarial govern ment of Romagna by Sardinia in the name of the 11 ° 1 3r See, and re-establishment of Tuscany in her Political and territorial automony. France would ne t only support this combination in a con fel'eilee or congress, but would also proclaim that la° foreign intervention would be allowed to atta ck it. France would at no price assume the res ponsibility of any other policy. The annexa tion of Savoy and Nice to France becomes a geographical necessity, and would also protect Switzerland. France, however, does not wish to force the will of the inhabitants, and would con sult the Great Powers. France desires universal suffrage in Italy, but this England abstains from advising, and the existing governments of Central Italy think it useless to appeal again to a vote of inhabitants. M. Thouvenel makes the above proposals to Sardinia, and forwards a copy of the despatch to Lord John Russell. •PARIS, March 4th. The Moniteur of to-day contains the nomination of M. Gretarin as Senator. The Paris p a pers pub lish the following, dated Antibes,,March 3rd. The part of the Imperial speech containing the annex ation of Savoy and Nice has been received ill Nice With enthusiasm. The Italian party is greatly agitated. A bill of great importance was presented to the Preach Corps Legislatif on Friday. In conse quence of the utter stagnation of business, which i 8 attributed in a great measure to suspense, the Government propo . ses that the import duties on all those articles which, by the Treaty of Cora- Ine rce, were not to be reduced till July Ist, shal be lowered immediately. The Chamber is called upon to vote the measure as one of urgency, there will, therefore, be a debate almost directly, in which the Protec tionist deputies will have an opportunity of stating their case. The grand and decisive step of Count Cavour, in making a direct and prompt appeal to the Tuscan, people has greatly disconcerted the French Government. The Paris correspondent of the Daily News s ays nothing but force can now prevent the annexation of Tuscany to Piedmont, and the moral difficulties in the way of the assumption by Prance of an attitude openly hostile to Italy are so great that in all probability the recoro.- mendations of the imperial speech will be set at nought within a fortnight from the day on which it was, pronounced. THE FRENCH FUNDS. PARTS, March 3. 3.22 P.M.—The Bourse has been inactive, and prices show no material variation. Rentes closed at 67.90, or about the same as yesterday. THE WAR IN MOROCCO. TEMAN, March Ist. The siege train was embarked to-day, and mules were disembarked. MADRID, Martb, era. The Epoca and the Occidente, ministerial papers, assert that to preserve the territory conquered in Africa \V wild entail sacrifices on Spain greater than the advantages she would obtain ; the other papers maintain reserve on the question. The manu facture of rifled guns has been declared free in Spain. ITALY. fitittN, March 2. A circular of Count Cavour to the diplomatic agents abroad calls attention to an Austrian cir cular, which orders forced enlistment for peniten tiary discipline of all Venetians whose antecedents appear hostile to Austria. This expression allows the whole male population to be so classed: Coun t Cavour draws the attention of the AUstriaii Foreign Minister to the matter. The Opinione asserts that Count Cavour has given his reply on the subject of the settlement of the affairs of Central Italy, by bringing forward the motives which prevent the Sardinian Government accept ing the counsels given, and requests France to agree to the annexation, should the inhabitants affirin it by their wishes. AUSTRIA. TRIESTE, March 3. A committee has been formed here to collect subscriptions on behalf of the Pope. VIENNA, March 4, On inquiries made here by the representatives of some foreign Powers, the Austrian Government has replied that its interests not being directly affected by the annexation of Savoy to France, it would observe on this question the same passive conduct which the Great Powers had exhibited at the time of the last year in Lombardy; and that Austria will not protest against the annexa tion of Savoy. SARDINIA. TURIN, March 4. The definitNe result of the vote of Central Italy on the question of annexation to Piedmont will be known on the 20th inst. CENTRAL ITALY. MODENA, March 3, The Papal Government has prohibited com merce by transit between Ancona and the Romagna. The merchants have lodged a protest against this measure. Agitation prevails in the Marches. The landed proprietors refuse to pay taxes. Thousands of citizens are signing addresses to the Great Powers in favour of the annexation. Soldiers enlisted in Austria continue to arrive in the States of the Church, and in Naples. VENETIA. BASSANO, March 2. The Duke of Modena has arrived here to inspect the troops. PAPAL STATE 3. ROME, Feb. 28. A popular manifestation of no importance, in favour of the annexation to Piedmont, took place at Gubbio. The Pope is said to be ready to grant concessions if the Legations submit. The students of the University have demanded the re-admission of the eight students who had been expelled. General Guyon has sent a detachment of troops to the University, thereby preventing any disturb- BRAZIL. The Oneida, which arrived at Lisbon on Thurs days, brings advices from Rio Janeiro to the 7th of February. Exchange on London, 24f, to 241. She brings drafts to the amount of £550,000.

The Paris correspondent of the Herald states that negotiations are now pending, the object of which is to bring about a meeting at Olneitz of the Emperors of Russia and Austria and the Prince Regent of Prussia. The Patrie says that the paragraph in the Emperor's speech alluding to the views of France with regard to the frontier of the Alps, excited enthusiastic applause. One of the Turin journals announces that a French camp is to be formed in the vicinity of Pavia. The Electoral Committee of Florence has requested the electors not to require of candidates any other pledge but that of supporting the annexation. AUSTRALIA, MAURITIUS, AND BOMBAY MAILS. The " Valetta," with the above mails arrived at Marseilles at six o'clock this day ; the mails leave for London at ten, p.m. THE COLLIERY EXPLOSION AT BURRADON. NEWCASTLE, March 4. Up to five o'clock this morning only sixteen of the bodies had been recovered. The total number of lives supposed to be lost is seventy-three. Thirty-one escaped. LONDON, March 3. The Prince of Wales has been appointed honorary colonel of the Oxford University Rifle Volunteer Corps. The following appeared in a portion of our impression of Saturday : _ _ PENINSULAR MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, March 3. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Sultan has arrived with the Peninsular mails, 14 pas sengers? 8 packages of specie, value £3,450, and a cargo comprising 102 cases of eggs, and 332 chests of oranges. The Sultan left Lisbon on the 27th ult. She experi enced, along the coast, strong north-east winds, and fogs across the Bay of Biscay. ' Exchange on London : 30 days, 63! ; 60 days, 53.3- • 90 days, 53i ; 3 per cent. Reutes, 474, 471 ; C oupons, 461 , , 46i. The Minister of. Finance has presented his budget, proposing an increase of taxes, which has given general dissatisfaction. The opposition journals ask, how can a ministry propose an increase of taxes when the actual President of the Council, Duke I)ereina, has not paid a fraction since 1833 ? The amount due in taxes on the hildalgos, counts, and nobles is calculated at 3,800 contos, 0r,L84,000. Of this amount 1,800 are perfectly lost ; the remaining 2,000 contos are not received, through consideration, and it is this that the press loudly protests against. DIFFICULTIES OF ITALY. The _Daily News contains despatches showing that the Government of the free states of the peninsula are meeting their difficulties with spirit and patriotism. Cavour, Farini, and Ricasoli refuse to permit the most sacred rights of their country to be the plaything of counts, and throw themselves resolutely on the people. Italy cannot live suspended between life and death ; nor can Europe endure to have questions of the first magni tude kept open for the convenience of speculative poten tates. THE QUESTION OF SAVOY. The Times remarks that the debate of last night only brings us to the threshold of this too serious question. The Star suggests that the openness of the Emperor's language in reference to Savoy may be to ascertain how far he steers Clear or disiordtatioii of the part of the tiVilikd World generally ; and when he claims what he believes his due, not from Sardinia alone, but from Europe in general, this course seems destined to provide an excuse in the eye of the French people, should the project prove impracticable. _ The Daily Hews gives a careful analysis of the papers just laid before Parlianicrit The latest despatch is one from Lord John Rtissell, dated Feb. 18th. It embodied the objections of England to the annexation, of Savoy. The publication of the papers *as delayed ten days to give the French Orovernufent the Opportunity Thi'S reply did not arrive, and a way sfifileierit kir the requirernents of corittesy having taken place, the paperl were isstred. The Daily News says they supply abun dant food for thought, but it trusts the Emperor will give one more proof of his sagacity, and renounce a pro ject which, Whatever its immediate result, would exercise a prejudiCial influence over the remainder Of reign. • The Herald says that, Within a t'eW weeks, *e shall probably be tailed upon to choose between sanctioning the secession of Sav o y an d re p u diating our engagements b with Europe. A clear 'Canis faderis will then arise on which Prussia, Austria, and Russia s will have the right jointly or separately to claim our action. Willthe Government disclaim this ieponsibility or announce their sympathy With Louis Napoleon, or will they pro test against a project *high nrrist if persisted in, lead to distrust difficulty, and ward 'the time for a protest has now come. The, Emperor's address is a deliberate defiance. It is perfectly idle to talk of consulting the decision of Europe. The Em peror knows well that Europe will never sanction the fatal ascendancy over Italy which he new alms , at Everything depends oil the decision England grim'. the witgate kailWay Wale receipts for the United kingdom, for the week ending February 25, shows an increase of £17,115 over last year. The produce markets during the week have continued without animation, the supplies being very limited, and imports moderate. Many vessels will, however, shortly arrive, from the change of wind. AME RICA. Aithrvikb Ot - I'O.tATAI3A: the i.oyai itiail steahl-ship Canada, Capt. tang, arrived in the Mersey last night, having left Boston on the 22nd, and Halifax on the 24th ult., having been detained twelve hours by fog.

Mr. Lezelle is an officer of the House. Lord Lyons had a long interview with the Secretary of State in reference to the proposition of the English Government for the settlement of the San Juan affair. A requisition has been made by this Govern ment upon that of Canada, under the Ashburton treaty, for the rendition of a fugitive from justice by the name of Ritchie, who escaped recently from,St. Lawrence county ) Neil Y i 1 On the tUnd February there NA as an effort made throughout the United States to raise suffi cient funds to carry on the work upon the Wash ington National Monument during the coming year. The United States Court at Charlestown, S.C., has assessed the damage upon Captain Church, master of the ship William Patton, to the amount of four hundred dollars, with the cost of the suit. This was an action to recover the penalty ori a bond under the act a lAN, requiring masters of vessels ) beibre their clearance, to deliver to the Collector a certified copy of their crew list, and blitz back or account for all persons composing the crew. The Presidential campaign continues, and in creases in interest. A third party has taken the field for the succession to the Presitlolo, and calls itself a " Constittitinnal Union Party." An address has been issued from the federal capital by the Central Committee, and. bears the date of Washington's birthday. It announces the inten tion of the Executive Committee to organise a campaign in oppoSition alike to Republican and Democratic parties. Yet its platform, as far as it is announced, is precisely the same as the Dtinoeraq. Its "cardinal principle" Is declared to be : To remove the subject of slavery from the arena of party politics, and leave it to the independent control of th e tates in which it exists, and to the unbiassed action of the judiciary; to remove all obstacles from the due and faithful execution of the provisions for the rendition of fugitive slaves; to guard and enforce the supremacy of the laws by an impartial and strict administration of the powers granted by the constitution ; to respect the rights and reverence the Union of the States as the vital source of present peace and prosperity, and the surest guarantee of future power and happiness. COMMERCIAL NEW YORK, Feb. 20-6 p.m.—The bank statement of to-day compared with that of last week shows an in crease of specie, which was not expected, and an increase in loans, 4 which was anticipated. But the expansion should go no further. At the present season of the year, and with the present prospects of trade, the bank loans are too much. Inevitable trouble will gm* oilt of the over importations of dry goods last tall and this spring ; and that trouble will be greatly increased if the banks, in order to protect themselves, are compelled to contract faster than merchants can make ready for the change of policy. Every additional million that is loaned out now will involve an increased pressure this fall, at the very time that merchants are most in need of hank facilities. Money is, if anything, rather easier to day, especially on call loans, which are in excess of the demand at six per cent. Some paper has also been done below six , and a half. The foreign exchange market opens with more steadi ness. The principal bankers are asking 109 to 1091 for sixty days sterling bills, and 1091 to I for short sight; francs are offered at 6.15 to 5.13 for sixty days, and 5.121 to 13 for short sight. The prospect is fair for a permanent advance in bills ; but thus far the demand continues moderate, and the supply of cotton bills larger than usual at this season. The Stock Market opened with great firmness this morning, but the demand for stock was not equal to the supply at the highest prices of the day, and the market gave way for a time ; it subsequently recovered its tone, and closed with firmness. Pacific Mail continues to attract especial attention, and the merits of the settle ment are eagerly discussed on the street. The stock opened at 94 eash,; was freely offered at that price, declined to 93 at the close of the morning session, and closed in the afternoon at that price, against 914 bid on Saturday evening. New York Central opened at 72, declined to 714. rallied and closed at 721, against 714 at the close on Saturday. The Western stocks were generally a shade higher, bat inactive. The business of the board was moderate ; the orders for State stocks and good bonds were, as usual on Monday, few in number.

PROBABLE LOSS OP ALL ON BOARD, , . The telegraph this morning, says the _Poston Adver tiser. of the 22nd ult., furnishes the news of another fearful ,marine casualty on the coast of Nova Scotia. The fine steam-ship Hungarian —belonging to the Canadian Steam-ship Company—which sailed from Liverpool on the Bth instant via Queenstown on the 9th, has been totally wrecked on a ledge near Cape Sable. The particulars which have been received are somewhat vague and imperfet, but from what is known of the cii edmstanceg attending the *IA, there is great reaseil to fear that all on board perished. The Hungarian, it will be recollected, is the steamship which had the melancholy duty of bearing to England the news of the total wreck of her consort, the Indian. In less than three months the same fate has overtaken her, probably under more distressing circumstances The Hungarian was a first class beat, nearly new, and her loss must prove a severe blow to the company, who have now lost five beats in sbrlibe. The Hungarian left Liverpool, it will lie i6rfieni bered, with about 200 souls ou .beard and a valuable cargo, chiefly bale goods. We learn. that six mail bags have been washed ashore on Sable Reef, which is about 200 miles to the southward of where the Indian was lest. The following more detailed statements are from the journal flamed. Feb. 20, Etetting.-=-A large stOanier went ashore last night on Cape Ledge, west side of Cape Sable. No communication has been had between her and the shore. BA.R.RINGTO:V, N.S., Feb. 20, P.M.-The steamer's lights were seen at four o'clock this morning, and at daylight she was found to be ashore half a mile from the island. The sea was so rough that the boats could not reach her. A vessel is preparing to go to her assistance. The American Consul proceeded at once to the steamer, but has not, yet returned, N.S., Feb. 21.-----The brig Cygnet, which has arrived at this port in twelve days frow New York, while lying to in thick weather on Sunday evening, at six o'clock, off Liverpool, N.S., saw a large screw steamer steaming W.

The agent of the associated press has sent a special messenger Co the scene of the disaster. Re has also jitst received the following " limuuNGTos, N. S., Feb. 21.—The Consul re turned from the Island last night, but nothing is yet known as to the wrecked steam-ship. It is supposed that all on board are lost. A vessel has' gone round this morning." LATEST INTELLIGENCE. lliartAlt, Feb. 21.---The messenger despatched to the scene of the disaster has not yet returned. The following has been sent from Cape Sable to Messrs. Cunard & Co.:— " A steamer's lights were seen on Monday morning at three o'clock on Cape Ledge. At daylight spars and smoke-pipe were standing ; at ten all were gone by the board, and then the ship settled fast. A heavy sea was running, breaking mast high over the ship. Communication with the ship was impossible. All on board were lost, unless boats left the ship before daylight, which is not likely. At low water part of the ship still visible." The following is the only news yet obtained from the scene of the wreck. The steamship is the Hungarian, from Queenstown 9th nit. She is a total wreck ; crew and passengers all supposed to be lost. Small portions of the hull are now visible at low water. There is nothing like news for the Associated Press unless in the mail, a small portion of which has been saved in a damaged state. One passenger ticket has been found, named Ellen Sheehan. Further intelligence will be forwarded as obtained. Nothing more to-night. THE CONSTITUTIONAL PRESS MAGAZLNE for Match, This number of a periodical publication which is getting a great hold on the Conservatives of the country —devoting itself, as it does, so much to the advocacy of their political interests,—opens with another chapter of part 2 of the interesting tale of " Hopes and Fears," by the author of the Heir of Redclyffe ; a tale, which of itself were quite sufficient to give a value to this magazine which could not fail to procure for it an entrance into the best literary circles of the country. There is also the continuation of another admirable tale, entitled " War," by the author of Paul Ferrol. And there is commenced " A Hunting Trip in the Great Annamullay Forest," of which the first chapter is given. Then follows part lof an interesting paper on "The Gothic Renaissance." A criticism on the works of Mr. Disraeli ; an essay entitled " The Many headed Beast ;" "The Two Triumvirates," a political paper ; "An Address to the Proprietors of Progress;" " More Suppers of the Tories ;" and some minor mat ters, combined with what we have before enumerated, constitute this an excellent number of this popular magazine. A " TIFF."—We went into the town, and soon Mary espied a gown in 4 shop window, which she liked so well she wanted me to give it her. We asked the price ; it was so dear I could not afford it, we had spent so much. She coaxed me, and called me dear John • but I had made up my mind, and would not chang e , though it vexed me mightily to deny her anything ; she grew angry, and that vexed me more. She wondered I could deny her anything, and we went our way much disquieted, and she would not hold my arm nor turn her face to me. I felt a churl not to give her. this little thing, when we had been so short a time wed. I wished I had had the money. It was a very fair evening, and from the Haigh top we saw the sun nearing its setting, shining crimson on the sea, and beard the larks singing in the air ; but we neither sang nor talked, and I felt downcast in my heart, thinking I should never make her happy. We got home, and I put the horse up, Mary sitting on a little chair by the door, but never speaking ; so I stood apart, and by and-bye she gets up and goes about the flower beds, gathering one here and 'there, and then comes nearer and nearer ; and then I see a little band putting flowers in my coat, and a little golden head is laid on my shoulder—and, " Oh, I am so sorry, so sorry." She tells me that she does not want the gown, only for me to love her and be happy. She is only a baby, she says, and I must treat her as such, and scold her. And then we love one another mightily again, and were very happy. —the Vicar of Lusset ; A Clergyman's Diary of 1729-82, LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. , t• SUDDEN DEATH AT JiIIII-alVEtrikfli--77011,,f3aturday morning, at half-past four o'clock, Catherine Purns, aged six weeks, residing with her parents in Wood street, died very suddenly.

ArriusTioN CASE.—Mr. Cobb appeared on behalf Of Alice Harris ' a young woman of respectable appear ance, dud rid dllOgetlier destitute of personal attrac tions, to apply for an ORIN. Of affiliation against John Brooker, a middle-aged Mail, yid represented himself as an owner of house property, and reaidetit Itrith his sister, who keeps a public-house in Soho-street. Bremner appeared for the defendant. The young woman belongs to Blackburn, in this county, where her parents now reside, and in August, 1858, she' entered . the employ of the defendant's sister as a barmaid and general servant. The defendant was at that time art invalid and it became part of the com plainant's dutir, td attend to him. in July he wished her to. leave, and agreed to allow liei gS. a if eek towards her support. The complainant was under the impression that he would marry her, as he had said seielai times that he would like to have her for a wife. On the strength of his promise to make her a weekly allowance, she went to engage a room; but it was necessary that he should go with her, and one morning she asked him to do so. He promised to do so, but did not ; and the same day the defendant's sister told her she' Wottld have to go. Before she went away the defendant gate her a sovereign, and also 2s. 6d. towards her support. After she left she went to the house again, but the defendant thfeateuted to put her out. The complainant was called, and, having detailed these facts, she stated that she was last month delivered of a child, of which the defendant was the father. In cross-examination by Mr. Bremner, she said she was not aware that the defendant was of weak intellect. Mr. Cobb haling called the defendant, Mr. Bremner objected to his being sworn, cm the ground that he was a man of weak intellect; and supposing the magistrates thought the facts sufficient to justify them in making an order they could not enforce it, as the disobedience of the order was only punishable by committal, as contempt of court, and as the defendant being of weak intellect was not capable of disobeying an order he did not under stand. Al r. Wvbergh said the defendant's property could be seized if he disobeyed the order ; and as to the other part of Mr. Bremner's argument, he thought he was bound to shew that his client was of weak intellect before they could admit his objection. The defendant was then sworn, and was examined by Mr. Cobb. He denied the statement of the girl, but he admitted having given her money. The magistrates with little hesitation ordered the defendant to pay 10s. expenses, ss. for the first six weeks, and 2s. 6d. afterwards. They also allowed a guinea for the advocate's fee, to which Mr. Bremner objected; and on its being allowed, gave notice of appeal. THE GREAT EAsTERN STEAM-SHIP. Since the accession of the new board of directors, as for some time previously, no works beyond those abso lutely necessary for the preservation of the great ship, and keeping her in good condition, have been carried on. The engines are kept thoroughly clean, and oiled ; the furniture and decorations of the state saloon are carefully preserved from injury, the whole of the hull, newly painted, looks clean and smart, and the ship, to all external appearance, bears out the repeated state ments of the late directors, and of the members of the 'present board, that a very small amount of expendi tnre is necessary to complete the ship for sea. The attention of the new board has been almost exclusively given to the consideration of the numerous schemes which have been submitted to them for enabling the company to get over its present financial difficulties. The general principle of the plan decided upon is the issue of preference shares to the amount of £lOO,OOO. Of this sum £40,000 will be required to pay off the exist ing mortgage on the ship, and the remainder to com plete the fittings, make the ship ready for sea, and supply a working capital. The terms upon which the preference shares are to be issued have not yet trans pired, but they will be explained to the meeting of share s convened for Tuesday next. Mr. Magnus, one of the old directors, who is now giving every support to the present management, has issued a circular to his friends and supporters, in which he intimates that the preference shares will be issued in the proportion of one to every three original shares, and he states that the rate of preference will require to be probably 20 per cent., in order to ensure their being taken up. He recommends his friends to give all the support in,tbeir power to such a proposition. The new board, it is stated, work in the most harmonious manlier, and the experienced services of Mr. Yates as secretary are still .ratained to the company. —Obcerrcr. DREADFUL COLLIERY EXPLOSION• A letter from Not th Shields, dated Friday night, says A fearful colliery explosion has taken place at Bur" radon, some six or eight miles from this place. There were from eighty to one hundred men in the pit at the time, and it is feared that most of them have perished, as flames were observed twice at the top of the shaft. Hundreds of colliers are flocking to the colliery, and heroic efforts are being made to get down the pit. Ft" r bodies have been got out. Hopes are entertained that the ventilation will be so far restored as to enable men to get iitto the pit during the night.

Admiralty, that "as membeis of the 4 Royal Commission on I..itlithorises, Buoys, and Beacons, they have, within this year, visited together nearly all the principal ports of the United tiler:dor; and they hate frequently made school ships, and their' important bea ring on the welfare of the Royal Navy and the eom itieftitil Marine,- the subject of conversation ;” moreover, ,that " iibilf of the' v/titers, one from his position in the Royal Navy and his idle employment unde r th e Com .

These' were eer tainly good add' satfibient reasons for th e i r mode of proceeding, and more Indti,Alarly since they found "that their opinions agreed and coincOed with ticat universally held of the necessity t hat exists for spet-..4.i1y establiihing the twelve school sh i p s that were proposedby the Manning Commission to be placed at the 'i—nc.

The existence .of this dete riorated; itritf tfi'at a a' Most alarming uyr then extent, is uni versally adraittedf and threatens to imperil our maritime supremacy, for t he niefeaßthe Marine will! be n l a nd most importan t VOW rese rve in time of ' The proceed with their inquiry respecting 36 gad, as dete, iota_ tion, as it is but too evident has ariseff ainVOlig our seamen. • Th e proposed School Shi p s, they shoe., are absolutely necessary as a n auxiliary means o f c h eck i ng such deterioration, and restoring a better state of things • for without them, a modified apprenticeship law, whic h they dtt convinced is indispensable to its prosperity, can no ,ff be established and maintained. With scareely respect to such a lfiti they admit that it s a d opt i on " would en t a il on all shipowners a heavy p ecun i ary burden; atid . it must be evident that no such measure could be introdneed with any yobability o f success, unless the consent Cl lik'e shipoTMs was first seer ire d. ,, But they are of opinion thett it would. be in the Dower of Government to secure this coileent, provided a fair equivalent was offered for the l oss int/yowl. n Taiing into consideration," they continue, " that t h, ship _ owners will ultimately benefit by any decided improve ii ent of our seamen as a class, the writers are convinced 'a they will readily recognise the great national import ance of silt nitting to a modified apprentice law, and that they will be kind willing to discuss such a measure with the Government on a fair and reasonable basis." The whole force of their argutnetif in favour of a mo difi ed but such an obligato r y a pp rentiteShi p fa, they as ular suggest, as the mos t certain and the most pop method of regaining for the mercantile mar i ne thme It irraluable properties which it now fails to possess, and Whi;li if mast have if it is to be that efficient institution which not ohty the shipping interest, but great national interests require that it should be,—its whole force, we say, they do not hesitate to declare, must turn upon the truth of the statements which are here so clearly expressed •. " Ist. That our ma - in reserve, the commercial marine, should be so composed as to be able to supply, *hen r e quired, a very large num ber of able seamen ; seeing it that although it is essential that able seamen ur e o nshould, possible, farm the majority of the crews reserves will utterly e men-of war, yet the existing and proposed fail; iri the Case of' a co ntinuous naval war, to supply a faitelY developed navy with the requisite number of able gentler& " 2ndly. That the drain. of seamen in our mercantile marine (which, it mast aIWaS - s be remembered, is our last and main reserve), largely owe& the number of entries of useful recruits, in the proportion of art least two to one, and probably of more nearly three to one and that it is absolutely necessary, therefore, to ensure in some way or other the constant annual entry of a much larger number of youthful recruits than is at Present received, so as to arrest. as soon as possible the steady. progress of that deterioration which inevitably results from the above tti6ritioned disproportion between the drain and the useful entries. " 3rdly.. That it is impossible that the boys from the twelve proposed sChoot ships may, in the absence of an apprentice law, fail to be reteived in sufficient numbers. And that even if they are all apprenticed, the effect on the mercantile marine will be quite insiifficient to leaven I the mass, unleSs an obligatory apprentice lair, or some equally efficient measure, is enacted : for otherwise the lads from the school ships will, in all probability to a gteitt Mott, be merely substitutes for the same number of apprentices now entered annually, instead of an addition to therre' l Having recapitulated the arguments in favour of the re-enactment of the apprentice Imo,. the writers then proceed to some general remarks upon what appear to them to be principles that may generally be adapted, and which are to the following effect : " 1. To ensure.success, the co-operation of the shipping' - ' interest should be enlistedin the management of the school ships; and the writers are of opinion that the Marine Boards of the United Kingdom should be entrusted with a local control over them, and that it is worthy of con sideration hove far it might be desirable to associate with these boards, fer this special object, two gentlemen at each port, who have tak en a leadin g part in the local educational efforts. "2. The internal arrangement of The schcrbl ships should resemble as much as possible the discipline, order, and system adopted on board her Majesty's ships. a. The United Kingdom should be divided into as many districts as there are school ships, and the boys should be selected, to a large extent, at th e schools ' throughout the kingdom, by the Inspectors of the Corn inittee of Council on Education. In the heart of the ports owning the largest amount of tonnage, the school ships should at first be placed, for although there may be drawbacks attending their being moored in crowded tide' ways or frequented docks, it is, in the writers' opinion, essential to the scheme that at the outset these ships should be brought before the public as much a s ,possible. The tenders, which should in all cases be attached, might be worked to greater advantage in quiet .roomy harbours of the district, easy of access. " 4. In order to prevent the school ships from beim. , considered a charitable institution. and to e n h ance t he value of a nomination, the parent or „guardian, schools, or parishes, on consenting to a nomination, s h ou ld be called upOn in every instance to contribut e a small which might be all owe d to fixed periodical payment, accumulate till the boy was leaving the school ship, when the amount might be put in a savings' bank, to be repaid to him on completion of his apprenticeship. The suggestions of the Manning Report, to have half the boys free and half paying a large portion of the expenses incurred for them,t and also to admit day boys and apprentices on their return from sea, appear to the writers to be open to grave objections "5. If the modified but obli ga t ory apprentice law, which the writers h ave su gg e sted, be passed, it may be worthy of consideration whether an additional induce ment might not be h eld out to t he shipowners to take the apprentices from the school shi ps, b y offering nominations (under proper restriction s as to the class to be selected from), in proportion to the number they take, as for instance, one for every one, two, or three boys. thus indentured by them annually from the school ships, and whether facilities should not be afforded for cancelling the indentures of lads who can be sati s f actor il y proved to be from any cause unfit for the sea. 6. Th e number of eligib le boys in the schools throughout the United K in g dom will, it is p robable, be us, that a selection will have to be made by t shoeniunentsperc°tors. To be the sons of respectably conducted parents, to he of good moral character, to read, write, and cypher well, should be qualifications necessary in every case; but among the competitors so qualified, the nomina tions should be given, not to the most highly educated or to the cleverest, but in to the most active and r obust. Skill , d arin g , and agility gymnastic exercises and athletic games should count highly, therefore, among the qualifications for a nomination. o 7. Each boy, on entering a school ship, should come under an obligation to join her Majesty's navy for a specified period, or the merchant service, and the naval reserve, as required, during or on expiration of appren ticeship. Joiniug the naval reserve should not be optional. "8. It may also be worthy of consideration whether certain privileges, such as the following, sho u ld no t be crranted to apprentices from the school ships, who have faithfully ser ved their time To b e a ll owe d , w h en they apply for second mates certificates, to count as sea service their last six months passed on board the school ship. 2. The remission of fees when being examined f or o fficers certificates. 3. Permissio n to wear a 'distin guishing badge. «9. The writers entirely concur in the suggestion in paragraph sixty of the Manning Report, that great benefit would result from uniting the training Ships for the nav y, and for the volunteer force, and raising, boys for both services on board the same ship.' Unless this be acted on, there will be two competing system s at work, varying in their inducements ; they would therefore recommend that, in the first instance, all boys for the Royal Navy should be se l ec t e d f r om the school s hip s; hut to carry out this necessary point, a very considerable extension of the scheme will be required." Such are, in substance, the suggestions which Captain suggest Ryder and Mr. G raves ha ve ta k en u p on them to to the First Lord of the Admiralty, and, through his grace, to the government of the country, on this important subject, —a subject which, in a great maritiro,, town like Liverpool, we need scarcely say is of such importance, as not only to be a sufficient reason for gentlemen or the ability and experience of the writers of this letter addressin ,, one in the high position of the First Lord of the Admiralty upon it, but who by doing so h ave , we are sure, entitled themselves to the gratitude not only of the shipping interest, but of the country at large, for the pains they h a v e taken in doing so. The pamphlet is well worthy of an attentive perusal by all who feel interested not only in our mercantile marine, but in the national navy, to which that marine must always be regarded as an indispensable reserve in every case of need.

DIRECTIONS TO BE OBSERVED AT THE VOLUNTEER COURT. Regulations to be observed at the Volunteer Court, which will be held by her Majesty, at St. James's Palace, on Wednesday, the 7th of March, MO. " The officers of volunteer corps who are desirous of attending the Queen's court at St. James's Palace, on Wednesday, the 7th of March next, should forthwith communicate their intention to the Lord , Lieutenants. of the several counties in which their corps have been estahrtshed, " A list of the officers who have thus signified their wish to be present will be transmitted by the Lord Lieutenant of each county to the Secretary of State for the War Dhpartment. " These lists, which will distinguish the rank of each 3. officer, and the corps or company to which he belongs,. will be forwarded to the Lord Chamberlain from the- War Department, at latest, upon Monday, the sth of M Welt. " The Lord Lieutenants and the military authorities summoned to attend,the court will enter the palace at the entrée entrance in Ambassadors'-court, and will pass at once to the entree room. "The officers of volunteers will enter the palace at the usual corridor entrance, opposite Marlborough-house, and will be shown at once to the room appointed for the assembling of their corps, where they will form into companies in the order in which they are to pass the Queen. In order to facilitate this arrangement, each officer should furnish himself with a card on which is distinctly written his county, the number of his county in the Army Liat, and the name and number of his. corps. company, or cub-division. ' Artillery' shonid be• specially marked on the cards of officers of artillery volunteet corps. "The doors of St. James's Palace will be opened at half-past twelve o'clock, and no officer can-be admitted after a quarter before two o'clock. " Officers will ' appear in the uniforms approved for their corps by the Lord Lieutenants. " They will pass before the Queen by regiments, com panies, or sub-divisions, headed by the senior officer present. "The officers of each corps will be introduced by the Lord Lieutenants of their counties, who will join them before entering the throne-room. In the absence of the Lord Lieutenants they will he introduced by the Under- Secretary of State for the War Department. The officers will draw up in a line before the Queen, and the senior officer of each corps or company present will hand a card! containing the names of those about to pass before her Majesty to the Lord Lieutenant. This card will be passed to the Lord Chamberlain, who will read the names to the Queen. The officers will then pass on. " Cards proper for this purpose may be obtained at the Lord Chamberlain's office, either upon personal or written application, and the names of the officers of t corps or company will be filled up by the senior officer, who will take the card to the reception." The word " Artillery " should be specially marked on the cards of officers of Artillery Volunteer Corps. In. order to remier the matter perfectly intelli g ible, we subjoin specimens of the cards to be used on. the occasion : Lancashire /Co. 3. 14 Company (Liverpool). The card which it will be the duty of the officer of each corps or company to hand to the Chamberlain will be in the following form : Number of County County . .
