ever the masks allows. A few telegraphic deepatches
(iaslading the sae from General Simpson relative to the
death of Lord Reales) :follow, and Ls Nord proceeds to
nodes the various criticisms pealed by Barns» *rads
apes its specimen sheet. In the coarse of these eamments
the preseediage lately taken by the Belgian govelameat
aids» Le Ncrd are thus notiesd :

THE GREAT RAILWAY ROBBERIES.

Further disclosures have taken place relative to the
extensive railway robberies noticed in the &wen of
Thursday last, and three more men have been apprehended.
Their names are, Joseph Burred, sea, a platelayer on the
Caledonian Railway ; Joseph Burrell, jun., a breakoman eta
the same line; and William Barra, a breeksman on the
Lancaster and Carlisle Railway. These, together with
John Butler, who had been previously apprehended, were
yesterday brought up fur examination at the Preston petty
sessions, when a number of silk handkerchiefs toned in toe
house of Joseph Burrell, sen., at Glasgow, and some em-
broidered wais.cost pieces found in the poeeetsiun of Joseph
Burred, jun., were respectively identified as part of a large
quantity of similar grinds stolen in transit between Glasgow
and Liverpool, and Paisley and &Hoed, in March last.
Butler has confeesed that he has been engaged in these rob-
beries tar years. All the poisoners wire remanded. the
Yoe ice, on visiting the house of a breaksmao named Caton, who
bee been very intintive with Butler, found a box containing
• Woe quantity of silks, satins, and miscellaneous property.
Caton has absconded. In a house at &aerie, where Wm.
Burrell occupied two rooms, the officers found a quantity of
shawls, book+, combs, &c., nut yet identified. The Glasgow
police have also fount a variety of valuable property pledged
AT the Burrell/1 in that eds.. Some time ago, in consequence
of the frequent robberies uf goods in transit front Scotland to
the south, several detective officers were concealed amongst
the luggage. This *as discovered, and a dist:niece' attempt
woo made to stifle the officer'', by putting sand and gravel
into the grease b.a over the wheel of the waggon in which
the detectives were concealed. Fortunately this was dieco-
cored before the train left Carlisle. One of the prisoners
with the train at the time was suspected, but there war no-
thing condones. These depredations have not been con-
fined to goods mine, the Inggege of passengers by express
trains having also been repeatedly pillaged.

SPAIN.

The subjoined telegraphic despatches relating to
the military revolt, are of older date ithan that we
published yesterday. This movement may lead to
very important results, the more so u the Carlist
party will have the zealous and interested support of
'Le entire Spanish clergy, whom the government has
alienated by the bill authorising the sale of church
property. The telegraph announces:
" Madrid 27th.—Tue insurgeut soldiers and some
peasants of Aragon who had joined them have been
Idemoralised by the march of Queen's troops on
Daroca. The Cortes will to-morrow discuss the bill
relative to the extended powers demanded by the
government. The cholera has sensibly decreased in
this capital."
" Madrid, 27th, Evening.— A part of the insur-
gents of Saragossa have been put to the rout by the
inhabitants of Semper. The other insurgents, to the
number of 130 infantry and 40 cavalry, who had
marched on Calatayud, are pursued by eleven columns
of the Queen's troops. Maestrazzo has been de-
clared in a state of siege." .

The Espana of the 23rd states, on the authority of
letters from Rome, that the Papal Court considers
the carrying into effect of the bill for the sale of
ecclesiastical property a violation of the concordate,
and that it consequently contemplated breaking off
relations with Spain and publishing protests against
'the measure. A letter of the 24th, which has been
received in advance of the regular mail, states that
the Captain-General of Saragossa, having gone in
pursuit of the cavalry soldiers of the garrison of Sara-
gossa who revolted, tell in with them at Almacen,
but that they took to Sight as fast as they could.
He was, however, in hopes of overtaking them.
Some of the insurgent soldiers of Catalonia had gone
in the direction of Moncayo, and the others in that
of Carinena. The government was sending off troops
to Aragon, and amongst them were some battalions
of infantry and a regiment of cavalry from the gar-
rison at Madrid. In Navarre there was nothing
new ; the Captain-General of that province had
formed the troops at his disposal into three columns
—one to defend his own territory, and the other two
to proceed to Aragon.
The cry of the Carlist bands is " Vive la Religion :
death to heretics."

show flatness. _ .

A preliminary meetior of a number of the princi-
pal sharebrokers and dealers was held to-day, with I
view to concerting measures for establishing a Mining
Exchange, on a plan similar to that of the Stock
Exchange. It is proposed that rules and regulations
shall be drawn up, and submitted for discussion at $
future meeting. We have unfortunately witnessed
of late years several abortive attempts of this nature,
and can only express a hope that no long time may
be suffered to elapse before the establishment of such
an institution, conducted on enlightened principles.

THIS DAY.—Two o'CLoca.
The gold mining shares to-day are steady. Agra

THE ANGLO-SWISS LEGION.

A letter from Berne of the 24th, in the Post Ampt
Gazette, says: "The recruiting for the Anglo-Swiss
legion is going on with great activity. A number of
recruits are found, particularly in this city and
neighbourhood, where there are many young men
out of employment, and who desire nothing better
than to enter a foreign service. Seven workmen
from one establishment have left together for See-
' stadt, the place of rendezvous. 1,100 recruits have
already left for that place, and it is probable that the
3,000 Swiss calculated on will soon be enrolled."

ROYAL INSTITUTION.

The electric telegraph formed a prominent feature
in Dr. Tyndall's lecture on voltaic el ectricity yesterday, at
the Royal Institution. After explaining the principle sod '
the elementary construction of professor Wheatstooa's
original needle and alphabetic di'r I telegraphs, Dr. Tyndall
proceeded to describe ono of the most recent applications of
voltaic electricity to telegraphic purpcsos in the indication
of the progress of railway trek a. One of the instruments,
and a large model of a railway, to illustrate its action, was in
(root of the lecture table. The instrument consists of a
dial, with a hand that nem Around with atep-by-step action,
each movement being under the control of an electro-
magnet, that holds a d uteot When the electro-msgtict
I awes to set the detect. is released, and the hand moves
forward a step, and thew steps are indicated by marks on
the dial like the di•eisions on a clock hoe. To apply
the instrument to indicate the position of a railway
mein, an insulated wire must be laid down along
the rails threar,h which a voltaic current must be
MielllathtlY utast, sined daring the running of the trains-
At pertain filed Intervals, at equal distances, whether of
Minn Or hal"w des, the wire is brought within the rar.ge of
sation of a re sling train, and by a projecting arm, ur otter
emengemen,., a spring is pressed down which breaks the
elestrie cart nit. The instant the voltaic current is thus in-
terrupted the electro-magnet of the instrument ceases to
Mt, the detest is withdrawn, and the band on the dial
Makes one step in advance. If instruments HI arranged
Were placed at each station, they would thin indicate exactly
Ike reopen of ► train, or whether any accident had oc-
I 'erred to detain it, and the spot whine inch accident had oc.
meted. The utility of an apparatus of this kind, especially
on all single lines of rail, would be very great, and Dr.
Tyndall expressed the opinion that it is quite practicable to
apply it. Its action, however, mast apparently he limited
to short distances, for when I trains are following each
other on the same line it would require some further special
arrangement to make separate isuications by mama Of the
tame wire.

THE CRIMEA.

Yesterday a telegraphic despatch from Lord Raglan,
dated Sunday, was received by the Government. It
000 firms the news that the bombardment of Sebastopol
is discontinued. Sir Charles Wood, in stating the
fact last night in the House of Commons, intimated
the expectation that the fire would be resumed.

Non-official advices from before Sebastopol, dated
Thursday last, report that the bombardment was
drawing to a close from the exhaustion of men and
material, that it bad not attained its object, and
that consequently the assault could not be attempted.
—Daily News.

The nmes, in a second edition, gives the following
from this day's Moniteur

"Telegraphic despatches from the Crimea, dated April
28, announce that the besiegers have momentarily suspended
their fire, so as not to exhaust their ammunition, awaiting
reinforcements, which were hourly expected."

The Cairo, which left Constantinople on the 19th,

the country, a ksowledge of the leading European
languages is indispensable. Yet French is the only
,foreign language that is even professed to be taught ;
.and that does not form part of the regular course of in-
. truetioo,but is taught out of the ordinary school hours,
and only for a part of the year. Besides, for upwards
of 800 boys there is only one French master, and
AS assistant, and the master has many other en-
gagements. It is of no less importance to young
men starting in life ia England to be tolerable
draughtsmen than to be tolerable linguists; yet
drawing is taught in the same slip-shod, inadequate
manner as French. Our space forbids us to enter
more at large into the deficiencies of Christ's Hos-
pital as au educational establishment, but one fact
may be mentioned. At Merchant Tailors' School
there are nine masters for 250 boys, or one master
for every 28 boys ; in Christ's Hospital there are
10 masters for 875 boys, or one master for
every 44 boys. Of the 20 masters in Christ's
Hospital, 11 are classical and mathematical;
to teach the boys reading, English grammar,
writing and arithmetic, only seven muter, are
allowed. We do not think the classical and mathe-
matical departments over-stocked, bat, assuredly,
the " teaching of common things" is lamentably un-
provided for. Yet the presumption is that boys
educated at a Charity will have to fight their way in
life, and how are they to do so unless trained to the
real business of life P
We have redeemed our promise of Saturday last
to show that great reforms are needed in the admin-
istration of Christ's Hospital. And here, as in the
administration of the State, routine has been found
to be the great and insuperable obstacle to efficiency
and reform. Therefore it was that on Saturday we
called upon the Go►ernors to adopt the proposal of
the Select Committee for a reconstruction of the
managing body of the Hospital, with a view to an,
infusion of new blood. We now repeat the call: a
few hours will show with what suoome.—Dally Nan.

JERUSALEM.

A letter from Jerusalem, of the 18th ult., in the
Moniteur, says:
The civil discords which for several years have constantly
desolated Palestine, lately assumed such a serious cha-
racter aa to call for the employment of force. Certain pow-
erful sheiks of the cantons of Hap.lrse and Hebron broke
out in open revolt, and committed deplorable tams's.
Fortunately, however, there wee no ensemble in their
movements. The mountain of Na,olose was promptly
pacified, and Kauai! Pacha was able to concentrate
all his efforts against the Sheik Abdurrahmen-Amer, who
kept Hebron, es it were, besieged. The governor took the
field with 300 nigglers, some hundreds t f horsemen, 1,000
Arab contingents, and four pieces of artillery. The insur-
gent Sheiks retired before him, and fortified themselves in
Idhns, one of their principal villages, where they threw op
spinneret/um. After a week's %melees negotiations, during
I which time numerous reinforeemenu were preparing to come
and take part in the revolt, Kismil Priebe was obliged to
use his artillery against the entrenchments, and, in spite of
aa obstioste resistance, eo carry the village by assault.
Seventy of the rebels were takes prisoners, 22 were killed,
and a great number wounded. The village ',itself
was destroyed. The effect produced by this vigorous
act hes been very great on tie halt-savage inhabi-
tants of the country. The great mei oity of the issurgent
Sheiks came immediately and made their submission, and
paid the arrest of the tribute which they h►d refuted to
Pay for the lest three years. On leaving Hekron, Kiamit
Pasha was to pass along the plains between Obsess and
Kentish, where considerable outrages have been committed
sad some blood shed. He will, it is said, reach Jerusalem
in aboat a fortaight.

It will have been noticed that Prince Ciortchakoff,
while admitting in his report that the loss upon his
side on the 16th was severs, omits to return the
numbers. The Military Gazette of Nritnna, a journal
not likely to overstate the Rennin) reverse, says that
besides the three generals killed, the Russian army
lost 1,451 killed, including 45 officers, and 4,876
wwanded.

THE BALTIC.

(11011 OVZ OWN 001,

REVEL ROADS, AUOUST 27.

Previous accounts of the movements of the Baltic
fleet will have acquainted you with the arrival of the
squadron under the immediate command of Admiral
Dundee at this aashorsge, leaving a couple of steamers
to watch the enemy's movemente, and to cruise off
Bweaborg. _ _ _

Respecting the bombardment of thit fortress, a
detailed account of which was transmitted by the
Vinare, via Dantzio, we have learnt through the
islanders that in Revel telegraphic despatches had
been received from the capital, giving the govern-
ment version of the affair. In this report
they admit a loss of as many as 400 men
killed, and about 1,200 wounded, which, judging
from the vast quantity of shell projected into so
email a spike, crowded, as it appears to have been,
with 12,000 troops, rhea not appear at all exaggerated;
but rather the reverse.• Of the destruction of the
160 gun-boat sheds there is no doubt, and the demo-
lition of vast quantities of stores, materiel, and bar-
racks, with the addition of five hulks, which were used
as receiving ships and barracks for troops as well as
blue jacket's, is confirmed.
Although everything of an inflammable matter was
burnt, and two batteries were destroyed by the explo-
sion of the magazines, still the actual fortifications are
standing, and probably on a nearer acquaintance may
prove as effective as ever; the result of the bombard-
ment 'helms realised the most sanguine expecta-
tions, and persons acquainted with the subject are
convinced that a continuation or following up of the
attack would have been productive of no further re-
sults; but the probability is that we might have had
two or three of our fine line-of-battle ships disabled
if not totally destroyed, especially labouring under
the disadvantages of a want of knowledge as to the
navigation of the intricate waters beyond the position
of oar lines.

The Euphrates, which left Constantinople on the

She brings intelligence from the Crimea that the
flee of the English batteries had been redoubled, sup-
ported in the centre of the attack by the French.
The enemy had erected two new lines in semi-circle
Low behind the Malakboff Tower, and a great move-
meat was going forward in the Russian army in the
Beck plateau, as if they were preparing for a new
attack upon our Hutson the Tchernaya. The Allies,
however, had rected new works to cover thtir fronton
the Tcheroaya aide, while the Russians were hastening
to complete a bridge to connect the north with the
south of Sebastopol.
All the allied steam frigates were returning to
France, to embark troops, at the same time bringing
home sick and wounded.

Some gun-boats belonging to the Allies having
appeared at the mouth of the Danube, the Russians

It is stated that he will not go to Km, but,

straight to Tiflis, with the twofold object of me-
satin the

of the Russians with
()corgis, and cutting off their retreat, and also of
presenting an opportunity to the Cireassisas and
other mountain tribes to aid him if they are so
disposed.

The St. Petersburg correspondent of La Presse,
writing under date of the 27th of August, says:
" The Emperor was seriously affected at the disastrous
result of the affair on the Tchernaya, and has ordered
• searching inquiry into the facts connected with the
battle. All the accounts which arrive from the
Crimea are unanimous on the point of the want of
provisions. At Simpheropol, in which the Russian
resources are collected, provisions have been mea-
sured out to the inhabitants fur a long time past, as
if the place was besieged.

pionship upon such terms. Them are: no doubt re-
publican traditions in Rome, Venice, and a fey other
Italian cities; but the great bulk of* Italiso,nnple
have been accustomed to the rule of Princes as=
E. deference for a hereditary nob' • , 'ln the
state of public opinion in It ,as Italianifipittalo
appears to us to be an impost • The aftmik to '
establish one would either superinduce anarchy that
would expose Italy to be reconquered by the foreigner,
or would oblige her to purchase national independ-
ence by submission to a military despot. Tte condi-
tion of England proves that the existence of a con-
stitutional monarchy is compatible with as ample
liberties for the citizen as can exist in a republic.
And the dynasty of Piedmont has proved that it can
respect and conform to the restrictions imposed upon
a constitutional Monarch. On these grounds we
hold that it would be the wisest policy of
the Ital Lin patriots to aim at the incorpora-
tion of the whole of the Peuiosula—or, at

least, of the whole of the Peninsula north of
the Neapolitan frontier—with the territories of the
Subalpine King. By this means Italy might bid
defiance to Austria, which is involved in financial
difficulties, and threatened by troublts in other
quarters; and without the support of Austria, the
minor MOM, of Italy are powerless. Wero the
Italians to sue to the French or English Go-
vernment to emancipate them, they would
at best be deluded by inch hollow pro-
, religions as they have had experience of on former
occasions; but self-emancipated Italy would be wel-
comed by any governments that can exist in France
and England as a valuable ally in maintaining the
balance of power in Europe against the northern
despotisms.
We have not been deterred from canvassing these
possibilities by any fear that Austria or its vassal
Princes in Italy may be fore-warned, and thus fore-
armed ; because we hold, with a distinguished living
French writer and statesman, that no political plots
ever succeed that cannot afford to be carried on with
entire publicity.
