MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-YESTERDAY.

The sittings of the court for the January Adjourned
Quarter Session were resumed yesterday morning, at the
Guildhall, Westminster, before Mr. Ser3eant Adams, as-
sistant-judge; Mr. Witham. Mr. Baylis, Mr. Buchanan,
and Mr. Dodd. There are 69 prisoners for trial for felony,
and three for misdemeanour.
Edward Bragg, 27, was indicted for having stolen a book
value 65., the property of the Great Western Railway
Company.
Mr. W. Digby Seymour for the prosecution, stated that
the Groat Western Railway Company had some time ago
established a library at Paddington, for the exclusive use of
their officers and clerks who subscribed to it. The company
supplied the reading room, furniture, arc., and the books
were stamped with the arms of the company, and in the
rules there was • condition, that in case the society, as it
was termed, should be dissolved or broken up, the books
were to be deemed the property of the company, and not
to be shared amongst the subscribers. The prisoner had
been • clerk in the company's service, and was a subscriber
to the library, and it would be shown that he pawned one
of the books, ‘' Scott's Life of Napoleon Bonaparte," hav-
ing previously effaced the company's arms, and torn out the
rules of the society.
A witness was called, who proved that the prisoner was a
subscriber to the library, and that he had no authority to
sell or dispose of any of the books. Ile produced and handed
in a copy of the rules.
The Assistant Judge having perused this, decided that
the property could not be laid as that of the Railway Com-
pany. The society could not be dissolved except by the
directors, and it was not until dissolution had taken place
that the books were to become the property of the company.
The ownership, as he thought, was in the subscribers until
the company was broken up.
Mr. Seymour thought that under the company's set of ,
parliameat the books could be designated their property as
they were on their premises, and under the charge of one
of their officers.
The Assistant Judge thought the clause referred to did
not apply to this particular case, and directed an acquittal.
The prisoner w .s then tried and convicted on • charge of
having stolen • coat the property of a fellow clerk.
The Assistant Judge sentenced him to nine months' hard
labour.

MINES.

MONDAY BYININO.
A very large and steady business continues to be
done in English mining stocks. Shares in good
mines are in brisk demand, with few sellers offering.
The great rise in the price of copper today is further
calculated to strengthen the market for these secu-

The prices ruling to-day are as follows : Wheal

SPAIN.

We have received the Madrid journals of the 26th.
Several of them contain long articles on the subject
of the imperial marriage, which they speak of in
terms of the highest satisfaction, and give long de-
tails of the family of the Empress, which do not in
any way differ from those which we have already pub-
lished. These journals speak in the highest terms of
the personal qualities of the new Empress. At the last
soiree given by the Erench ambassador, the marriage
of the Emperor was the general subject of conversa-
tion, and numberless congratulations were offered to
General Anpick on the occasion. Public attention at
Madrid is much occupied with the approaching elec-
tions, and in some of the electoral colleges the contest
will he severe, the number of candidates coming for-
ward being more numerous than usual. It is con-
sidered that the ministerial candidates will have
the best chance in the provinces. The government
is actively engaged with the question of
the finances of the country. Several capitalists
have expressed their readiness to renew their engage-
ments w►th the Treasury at the end of the month.
The Bank of St. Ferdinand will make its usual ad-
vances of 24 millions, and is negotiating other im-
portant transactions with the government.

TURKEY.

The Journal de Constantinople has published a cir-
cular by the Bank directors, stating that as the impe-
rial government has resolved upon the liquidation of
that establishment, the directors hold office only to
regulate the accounts. The value of the bills in
circulation, which six months ago amounted to
500,0001., is now 400,0001., and the necessary funds
for their payment in Europe have been secured by a
contract which the Sublime Porte has concluded with
five merchants of Constantinople.
The Montenegrino intelligence by this mail is to
the 6th ult., and has been anticipated by news re-
ceived ria Trieste.
The reception of Abd-el-Kader by the Sultan seems
to have been gracious and courteous, but nothing
more. The presence of the ex-Emir at Constanti-
nople does not appear to have caused any sensation
among the Turkish population.

FAILATE

The bankrupt, Jules Artnes, was described as a general
merchant, of Mark-lane. This was the aecond meeting
under the bankruptcy, the choice of assignees having been
adjourned at the first, in consequence of • number of the
cmditors residing &breed. Prods were now placed on the
file to the amount of about 8,0001. The whole of the bank-
rupt's liabilities are estimated at between 14,0001. and
18,0001.; the assetsj it is thought, will realise between
ZAK est 3,000 J. The following gentlemen were chosen
trails misenese :—George Anton, merchant, of Mark-lane;
Thames lesiniald Kemp, banker, of Nicholas-lane; and
Anthony Dewey, merchant, of Mark-lane. Mr. Pennell is
the official asolinee; Remora Linklater are the solicitors
under the bankruptcy; and the preparation of the accounts
has been confided to Messrs. Hart, Brothers, of George-
yard.

This was the last examination meeting in the ease of
Frederick Win. Thomas, auctioneer, of Leadenhall-street.
His balance-sheet, extending over about two years prior to
the failure in December last, contained the following items :
To creditors, 2,8701. ; ditto holding security, 1,0884 ; liabi-
lities, 871. ; capital, 3,7831. ; profits on business as auctioneer
and on discount of bills, 6,58.51. By good debtors, 971. ;

ditto held by creditors, 1,2001. ; trade expenses, 1,6881. ;
losses on depreciation of property, 1,2371.; house and per-
sonal expenses, 2,1491.
Mr. Linklater, for the assignees, asked for an adjourn-
ment to allow of the accounts being looked into.
Mr. Lucas appeared in support of a petition presented by
Mr. Tingay, a mortgagee, asking for an order for the sae
of some property.
Mr. Lia Water objected, on the ground that the tram.>
tissue connected with the mortgage were tainted with usury,
and proposed to examine the bankrupt.
After • conversation, it was agreed that the inquiry
should stand over, and the last examination was adjourned
for • month.

MUSIC.

EXETER-HALL

Handers oratorio " Solomon" wan given here last
iii,ast by the London Here." Harmonic Society, the per-
&manse being preceded by the dead march in " Saul" and'
pr. Cellcutt's mouudy " Forgive, blest shade," as a tribute
of r sped to the memory of Mr. T. Harper, sen., whose
sudden death was recorded in this journal some days since.
Mod. rs 501..m0n," although nut one of the greatest, is
far from being the weakest nt his oratorios, as it contains
111X0e choral writing which, in grandeur of conception and
sustalued power, is fully worthy of the composer of the
" Messiah" sod " Israel in Egypt ;" while many of the
sir, and solo pieces are characterised by such grace and
&honey as to contrast agreeably with the massive @gbh-
miiy of the choruses. The solo singers last night were
al, Birch, Mrs. Temple, Miss C. Felton, Mr. Locke'', and
Mr. Lacier. The first-named lady was especially success-
ful in the recitative and air, " Can I see my infant gored 1"
which she sang with great pathos and expression. Her air,
1.140, Beneath the sine," was given with that graceful
simplicity which its character demands. In the trio,
" Words are weak," (in the judgmeut scene) it were to
hoes been waned that Miss Hutch had been better sup-
ported ; the effect of this movement was some-
what marred. Mr. LocLey, who ranks as one
of our best tenor linKen, sang hie music with
care sad intelligence. The songs, " Sacred raptures "
sod " See the tall palm." so florid as to belong almost to
the bravura style, were given by him with more flexibility
than is usually possessed by so sonorous a voice. Mr. Law-
ler, too, who is well known as a careful and painstaking
sin;er, was an effestive solo bass; his piwerful voice filliug
the hall, and his declamation in the recitatives being spe-
cially worthy of notice. The chorusses wore occasionally
indhlinet, from a tendency to hurry, and a timidity in
attacking the " points,"--defects which will probably dis-
'pi ear on a repetition of the oratorio. In any future vr-
ferment*, some previous care should be bestowed on the
chorus, " With pious heart," the extraordinary and beau-
tiful chromatic progressions iu which were s.dly spoiled
by the uncertainty of the inner voices. The hall was quite
filled, and the oratorio listened to with that reverent at-
tention, which is one of the signs of the improved stanuard
of the popular musical taste of the day.

QUEEN'S CONCERT ROOMS.

MADAME PLEYEL'S SOIREE 3iit:slCA LE.— Not-
withstanding that '• the season" may be said to be as yet hl
itsculirst inning. the fashionable w 1.141 thronged the COW
cerr•ruim in Harmer square yesterday es ening to hear per.
formed the attratuve bill of fare which Madame Pleyel hai
prepared for their entertainment. They were doomed Se
meet with a slight disappointment, in the first instance, is
consequence of Madame Florentines sudden indisposition
sod the necessary ezclusisu of the music set down for that
lady in the programme ; but were, however, soon restored
to good humour by the announcement that Madame Doria,
a Hungarian lady, who happened accidentally to be
in the room, had •olunteered to sing a piece
or two in order to fill up the blank. Madame
Darla's debut, although made under such unfa-
vourable circumstances, was entirely successful. She was

loudly cheered by the audience, and 'rapturously encorea ice
her tint oing (wee of Grist's airs from "
creole Borgia.") She possesses a voice of great vo-
lume and poser, and will, no doubt, prove an acqui
&Rion to ;he concern of the coming season. Madmen
Pleyel played Liszt's" Illustrations du Prophets" with mag-
nificent effect, and, with M. &Linton, one of Beethoven's
Grind Sonatas, yielding in the latter piece the laurels cheer-
fully to the male performer. Nothing, indeed, could be more
chaste, tinge'', and, at the same time, brilliant, than M.
Sainton's elecution of this difficult violin music. The audi-
ence cheered tumultuously, and demanded a repetition of
one or two of the choicest morreauz. Miss Alleyne sang
as aria of Rouini's with good voice and method, but rather
too mechanically even fur the concert room ; while, on the
other hand, the advantage of a little dramatic experience
was strongly perceptible in the singing of Miss Fitswilliam
and of Mr. Writes, especially of the former—her little ballad,
'• 'Twos one Sunday morning," obtaining a hearty encore.
The piece de resistance of the evening was Mendelsaohn's
quartet, for pianoforte, violin, viola, and violoncello, to
name the performers of which is quite sufficient deseriptica
of the manner in which it was performed. They were
Madame Pleyel, and Messrs. Balaton, Clementi, and Piatti,
but, notwithstanding their efforts, it fell set, from its ea-
treats length, and attracted but a partial notice from the
audience. The concert terminated with a serenade and
tarantella by Madame Pleyel, in which the styles of the two
grs►t pianists, Thalberg and Liszt, were made more po-
pular than ever with their admirers, by the manner in
which their music was executed by this aconmpliahed artist.

THE CALE OF FRIDAY.

Poursmoorn, Auo. 29.—The results of the vio-
lent gale on Friday night last are beginning to disclose
themselves. A fine brig, the Emma, Captain Turner, from
Shields to Constantinople, laden with coal, put into this
I port this morning having encountered the violence of the
weather in the fullest degree. On Saturday morning at'
12.30 a.m. when lying-to under close reefed main-tot:dans,
between the Start and Portland a heavy sea struck the
vessel and washed overboard four of the crew, all of whom
were drowned. Their names are John Gibbs, chief mate;
John Ritserns, carpenter; Henry Hills, seaman, and
James Brun;.ish, boy. From the violence of the weather it
was utterly impossible for the captain to make any endea-
vour togas' the drown;ng men ; the casualty only leaving
him four hinds on board to navigate the vessel. The same
sea which carried overboard the above also swept away the
companion, skylight, wheel, stanchion., bulwark., &e. of
the Emma, besides every article lying on deck. It is
feared that the next few (la's will bring to light many
other casualties of a similarly fatal character.

The Journal de Constantinople contains the follow-
iag news from the Danube :—" All the supplies offi-
cially demanded for the Russian troops in Wallachia
are paid according to the tariff of May ; for
example, the kile of wheat is now 50 piastres,
whereas it was only 43 in that month, but the latter
price is all that is given for it. Wood and straw are
required, but not paid for. Waggons for transport
are taken without formal requisition ; no receipt and
no payment is given for them."
'1 he same journal contains an account of a sham
debarkation and attack on troops stationed where
the Bosphorus opens into the Black Sea by the
boats of the Turkish navy. The manoeuvres are said
to have been admirably executed.
In the number of the journal for the 14th inst.,
the following paragraph occurs :—" The police of
Pera seized yesterday several copies of an incendiary
pamphlet, in the Greek tongue, appealing to the
passions of the Greeks. This pamphlet, although
beating the imprint of London and purporting to be
a translation from the English, has been printed
here, and the source of those publications, intended
to sap the loyalty of the Christian population, is per-
fectly well known."

AMERICAN OPINIONS ON ADVERTISING.

110 W TO OET CUSTOMERS.

In the progressive stages of civilisation, men have
held many erroneous ideas, and have been chargeable
with much folly, but I am not aware that at any time, or in
any age, they considered it sufficient to place themselves
in one of the " main grooves of human affairs," and wait
for fortune. Mercantile men have certainly never enter-
tained the idea that all that is necessary, in order to do
business, is to open a shop or stare and stock it with mer-
chandise. To take some means to inform the public of the
nature of their business, and solicit their patronage, has
ever been a matter of primary importance. In the mid-
dle of the seventeenth century, the shopkeepers of London
made known their business eivi rose. The masters or pro-
primers would take a turn before their doors, crying out,
" What d'ye lack, sir ? what d'ye lack, madam ?" and then
run over a list of the commodities they dealt in, and when
tirtd, the task wu assumed by the apprentice, thus mak-
ing the city a Babel of strange sounds.
This democratic era was succeeded by the age of signs,
which genius soon improved and ornamented by all imagi-
nable devices. Painting, gilding, boars' heads, flying dra-
and flying swans, were conspicuous emblems. As
the capabilities of the printing press were developed, shrewd
men saw in it a chance to "universalise their sign-board ;"
they saw they could plain upon it not only their name and
number, but a lull account of their stock, and their range
of prices; they saw that they could challenge the attention
not only of those who passed by their shop, but of men in
all places, and at all times. The present is the era of ad-
vertising. Advertising is the best mode of drawing buyers
that I can suggest. By means of it, men can sell articles
that are valueless, end make fortunes by it ; why should not
those who have valuable articles to dispose of ? An exten-
sive system of advertising is invariably resorted to by those
who have trash to dispose of, and it succeeds; how much
wader, then, to sell a useful and valuable article ? Adver-
tising and politeness are the main levers to get customers.
Advertising will draw them,
ability to fill their orders will
satisfy them, and politeness will induce them to buy.—

THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 23, 1853.

It will, in fact, be more acceptable there than the
tOnehing of English writers, from the errors suitable
to Continental prejudices with which it is mingled.
We deem it therefore of more than ordinary import-
ance. It will everywhere hasten and assure the pro-
gress of Free Trade, and wherever that prevails no
other freedom can long be withheld from any people.
That the article gives a terrible blow to despotism,
and to the whole system of interference by Govern-
ment with private business--that it acknowledges, as
_ .

the Presa; nye, the imbecility of the Imperial
power in the most important affairs of society—only
' makes it, remembering where it is published, the
more remarkable. As if to gain for its doctrines
the approbation of all Frenchmen, and claim for them
the honour of being at an early period good theoretical
Free Traders, it is accompanied by • republication of
the celebrated letter of TURGOT to the authorities of
Limoges, in which, during • famine crisis, he en-
joined them to secure a Free Trade for grain as the
best means of lessening the evil. Loris NAPOLEON,
supporting his policy by the authority of that great
and good philosopher and statesman, may inspire us
with unbounded confidence in the complete success
of doctrines which extort the homage of his despotic
governmeat, and by it are, recommended to the ad-
miration of all Europe.

AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM-SHIP ARCTIC.
(By ELECTRIC TELECIRAPH.)
(FROM OUR LAVE CORKEEPtiNDINT.)

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAT.
About half-past eleven o'clock this forenoon the
United States mail steam-ship Arctic, Captain Luce,
arrived in the Mersev with the usual mails from the
United States and Bi.tisliNorth America. Tae Arctio
sailed from New York on the 12th inst., and has
brought, besides the mails, 82 passengers and
400,000 dole. in specie on freight.
At the departure of the Arctic business had as-
sumed a more healthy aspect, and the tightness in
the money market was less severe than reported in
previous advices. Stocks were higher and firm, their
former unsteadiness having disappeared.
The cotton market was quiet, but firm. The re-
ceipts at the various ports were very moderate, and
far below the average of last season.
The advices from this country and the Continent,
taken out by the America, had a marked cih.ct on
the market for breadstuff's, and caused a decided rise
to take place in the value of the different articlesem-
brac.d under this head.

The provision market continued to exhibit the
same quiet character it has maintained of late, with
pi lees unchanged front list quotations.
Freights were inactive at the following quota-
tioiis :—To London : Tsbacco per hbd., Gus. ; Hour,

THE DEWIER LL O&4ND.

Five new petitions were presented—complaining of the
conduct of the broker Le Grand. The EMU mentioned in
the petitions presented up to this time as fraudulently ob-
tained by him amount to no less than 25,0001. Only 2501.
hu been recovered from one of his sureties, who was bonds-
man for this amount ; the other surety, it was stated, would
be declared a bankrupt if legal measures were proceeded
with to enforce payment of the boxd into which he h►d
entered to a like amount.

Sit R. W. CARDEN presented • petition, signed "E.
'Lines," csinplaining of the conduct of Daniel Elle', a
broker.

The court ordered Mr. H. W. Sewell, the summoning
officer, forthwith to serve copies of the petition upon the
broker and his tie) sureties

THE CORYORATION INQUIRY.

Alderman Winn moved-" That this court are desirous
to assist the inquiry now proceeding before the commis•
sioners appointed by the crown, and for that purpose they
wish to render to the commissioners all the documents and

information in their power, in os der that the commiuioners
may have every information which can be supplied to them
by the court or any of its officers, and that it be referred to
the privileges committee to act secordi•gly."
The mutton was seconded by Alderman Iquitos, and
carried unanimously.
Alderman WIME presented a petition, signed by Mr. W.
Ford, of the Blue Anchor, Wormwood-street, complaining
that his measures had been duly tested by the ale conners
several times during the last ten months, the latest occasion
being on the 7th alt. ; and that he had :paid • fee of le.
(which he had since been informed was illegal) on each
examination. Four days afterwards, however, two other
persons, called i•specturs of weights and measures, tested
one of the same measures and pronounced it deficient; and
he had in consequence been fined ss. and branded as a neer
of false measures. Re theLefore prayed that the sub-
ject of the inspection of measures should be taken into
consideration with a view to its being placed on a in :re
satisfactory footing; and he submitted that if measures
were required to be made of glass, accidental injuries re-
ducing them below the standard capacity would be im-
possible.
Alderman Wtaz hoped that the office of ale conner was
one of those which were doomed to destruction. It was of
very ancient date, and the persons appointed to it were
selected by the livery in common hall. The only duty they
performed was that of receiving a shilling and drinking a
glass of ale.
The petition was referred to the General Purposes Com-
mittee.

COLLISION ON THE LANCASHIRE AND

YORKSHIRE RAILWAY.

Yesterday (Tuesday) morning, an accident of an
extraordinary
.and moat alarming character happened at
Knottingley junction, on the Lucashire and Yorkshire
Railway. The parliamentary train from Leeds, consisting
of engine and tender, three passenger carriages, and break
van, which is due at Knottingley at 8.20 a.m., arrived there
affabout the pr 'per time, and the passenger carriages having
been attached to others from York, the united train wu
proceeding on its way to Doncaster, when, on crossing the
junction with the up-train to Goole, about 200 or 300 yards
from the station, a goods train from that town, which ar-
rived at the point of intersection at the same moment,
dished through the passenger train, cutting it in two about
the middle, and knocking off the body of a third-class
carriage, containing about twenty passengers. The vehicle
rolled over on its side, amidst a terrible screaming from
the persons in it, whilst the wheels and under part of the
vehicle remained standing on the line. The accident hap.
pening so near the station, effective assistance was promptly
rendered, and the pas/Angers, who were tumbling over one
another in • state of great consternation, were speedily
extricated without any more serious wounds than superficial
bruises, with the exception of one man, who complained of
internal injuries from having been severely crushed under
the great bulk of the other passengers.passengers. The goods engine
sustained scarcely any damage, owing, no doubt, to the body
of the carriage with which it came in contact separating so
easily from Its supporters. The driver and stoker of the goods
engine received no injury, although they. remained on the
engine ; indeed, they bad no alternative in the matter, for
the dense fog prevailing at the time prevented them from
seeing the passenger train until they had run into it, a, d
the signals were softly invisible. The broken passenger
carriage was repassed as soon es possible, and the travellers
were forwarded,* ink respective destinations with less
delay than amid bow best expected under the circum-
stances.

Thus ingileent was oppoaed by Mr. Cooke, on the part of
$ Mr. Cobb.

The case afforded a remarkable instance of the rapidity of
law and Chaueerl...prroceedingv. The insolvent, who had
been a retailer of , was tenant of Mr. Cobb, in respect
of some premises in Turnmill-street, Clerkenwell, which he
mutilate at a considerable profit. Ile was required to quit
and deliver them up, both on account of the difficulty of
getting the rent, as it was neeesaary to detrain on several
occasions, and they were required for the Clerkenwell im-
provement.. In November an action in ejectment was
brought aolust him, to which he pleaded, and in February
last, on the eve 14 trial, he tiled a hill in the Court of
Chancery for the alleged performance of a verbal specific
agreement to continue him in the tenancy, and for an in-
junction to restrain Mr. Cobb in the proceedings of eject-
ment. Vice-Chancellor Wood ordered him to give judg.
new in the action, and in a week Mr. Cobh was called
upon to answer the suit in Chancery, the result of which
was, that his proceedings were dismissed with costs, and he
was now a deb•or to that gentleman in a large amount In
the ejectment the damages were 7.11 , and the cos,i
281. 4s. 64., and in the Chancery suit the costs were

QUARANTINE AT GENOA.

A correspondent writes from Genoa :—" Among
the passengers that arrived at Genoa, on the 18th in-
stant, by the English steamer, was the Marchese
D'Aseglio, late Prime Minister of Sardinia, who
was allowed to land at once, and before the
ship obtained pratique, while all the other passengers
were compelled to wait not only for pratique, but for the
police authority to be allowed to land. There is an old
adage that says, 'What is good for the goose is good for the
gander,' and this is a ease that proves it. For why in the
name of common sense, I ask, done man is allowed to land
without pratique, should the rest be refused the same
liberty. In brines, forward the name of an individual in
the present case, I do not wish to make the slightest reflec-
tion on the Marquis, who must be honoured by everyone
that knows his ability and worth, and the noble stand he
made in defence of his country's liberty. But I cannot
forego the opportunity to show the folly of the present qua-
rantine regulations in Italy. They manage these things
better in Malta since Sir W. Reid has been governor there.'

COURT OF ALDERMEN.

Yesterday the first curt under the present
mayoralty was held, and
The LOIID NI/LT./A is taking the chair, ezpreraed the
mime ha telt of the tumour which had been done him ty
his election to the civic chair.

-----
S.r Pens LAURIE moved a Tote of thanks t, the late
Lord Mayor, this was seeon led by Alderman Faebrother,
and carried unanimously.
Alderman Cot ELAND, with • view to demonstrate that
this court was not so nukes a body as had been represented,
moved for a return of the number of courts and committees
held during the year; the like of Emmanuel Hospital, the at-
tendance of aldermen at the Central Criminal Court, at
quarter seuions, at the justice nom at Guildhall, at meetings
to license persona to sell game, and to hear summons for
non-payment of rates ; also a separate return of the number
and result of the committals from the city to the Central
Criminal Court. Ordered unanimously.
Alderman LAVIIitNCE, alluding to a statemect made by a
witness heron the commissioners, to the effect that nine-

teen members of the court had met at the Mansion House,
and subscribed 1,9001. towards the election of a brother
aldermen, asked if his lordship was aware of any such
thing ?
The LORD MAYOR categorically denied all knowledge of
such a transaction. He bad, however, known aldermen
subscribe to assist late aldermen who had been in unfortu-
nate circumstances. (Hear, hear.)

Alderman COPELAN D looked upon the statement of the
witness who charged them with sub<cribing 1,9001 towards
the election of Sir John Key as a vile aspersion. He be-
Hewed that the person who had given the iuformation kad
told a gratuitous falsehood for purposes of detraction.
Other members of the court protested their entire igno-
rance of the affair. .

Sir PEERS LAURIE—Wait till all the evidence is pub-
Belied, and then we shill be able to give a satisfactory an-
swer to all charges, as we did in the cue of Bethlehem
Hospital. (Hoar, hear.)
Alderman WILSON had been an alderman 23 years, and
had never known money subscribed by members of the
court towards any election whatever. (Hear, hear.)
Alderman LIVISPHERY —I was present when it WWI
moved (as it was by one of the aldermen) that a subterip-
tion be sited for the purpose of Sir J. Key's election. I
opposed the proposition, and it was immediately repudiated.
I sin sure that no money was subscribed. (Hear.)

AN AFFAIR WITH BRIGANDS.

A correspondent Writes from the Mediterrnnettl
—"Early on Thursday morning, the 17th inst., the Diligenoe
from Rase to Civita Vecchia was attacked by banditti,
about ten miles from the latter place. Two young English-
men, Yams. Ferrell and Eccles, who were dosing in the
coup 6, were most disagreeably awoke by finding two gum,
pointed in at them, and roughly ordered to descend and
lie down la a ditch alongside the road, which they did atter
being first stripped of all their cash. One of the young
men slipped his watch under the seat, before descending ;
but it was found immediately afterwards, when the robbers
threw out the seats to break open the secret box, made
under the mute of the coupd,where they found what they,
no doubt, knew was there,' a bag containing 1,000 dole. This
secret bee, under the seats, by-the-bye, is as well known to
every robber on the road, as the church of St. Peter itself.
We have heard of ' tricks upon travellers' before, but this
one of the Popish Government, first neglecting to protect
the roads properly, and then preventing travellers carrying
arras to protect theamelves, is one beyond a joke.

TO THE ZDITOH OF TEI DAILY NEWEL

Eta,—Allow me, after reading an article on na-
tional education in your widely circulated journal this
morning, to say just a word on the subject. It is clear that
the only way in which the difficulty arising from the varia-
tion of religious opinion can be got rid of is by government
providing a purely secular education, and by allowing reli-
gious instruction to be imparted to the children oa Sundays,
or on an evening in the chapels or Bunda7•sehools of the
particular sect to which the parents may happen to belong.
