MILITARY.

REPORTED DEATH OP SIR C. J. NAPIER..—The

statement that the coloneley of the 22nd Regiment had on
Saturdey last beeoase vacant by the decease of the above-
named gallant soldier, we an happy to announce, is pre-
mature. The gallant retina has been exceedingly unwell
for the last two or three monde, and daring nearly the
whole of that period wee confined to his bed in Hobart-
llace, Raton-square ; whence, however, he was conveyed,
ast &tardily week, is an easy eaniage, to his country
=noise at Oaklands, Rants, near Portsmouth. Although
the report of hia &seam is without foundation, we under-
stand that his ultimate recovery is despaired of by his
friends, and medical attendants, who indeed almost hourly
expect his dissolution.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANK-THIS DAY.

The receipts of Wheat and Flour since Monday have
been to a fair extent. The Continental demand wee again
renewed this morning, and several transactions took place
in both Wheat and Flour, at • slight improvement upon
the rates of Monday last.
Oats, in consequence of small receipts, were held fm.
higher rates, which checked business; needy buyers had
to pay 6d. more money.
Barley, Beans, and Peas were unchanged in value.

Directors&dj do as pir,chompor decide as yon think
4t; buitron't blame ns hereattet, ityour dividends

of reasoning that shareholders yield; and ethan.thsy-

_
assent how can Parliament refuse its sanction to an
increase of capital?
Another excuse ls that of a margin for increasing
rolling stock to carry on increasing traffic, for new
warehouses to hold it, for new sidings, for better

accommodation, for more bricks and mortar. "We
must have more money for these things; our traffic
estimates have been largely exceeded ; enable as
to meet what we never expected." This may be
called the theory of railway development ; and it
will be found to have this especial peculiarity
that the credit is generally sought long before the
money is wanted, and that sometimes the money is
spent for very different purposes than those it was
asked for. But this theory raises another question ;
is increase of traffic to be for ever a charge on ca-
pital ? If so, capital can never in all probability be
closed. Or, if it has some time or other to fall on
revenue, at what per center of dividend has it to
descend thereon ? These are points which neither
boards nor shareholders ever think of ; yet their set-
tlement is a matter all essential to railway prosperity
and to the public interests also, for the less capital
the public has to find profit for, of course the lower
will tolls and charges be.
We cannot, then, accept the directorial dictum that
capital accounts cannot be closed. On the con-
trary, we say that both the prosperity of railways
and the interests of the country require that they
should be closed, even if it be but temporarily. For
what the groat Railway Companies need now is, a
pause, a rest in their expenditure. And though oases
might rise for hereafter adding to capital, to draw a
line now in the books of any one great company
would do more to inspire public confidence in its
soundness than increased traffic, when, with in-
creased outlay, it does not produce increase of
dividends.

IMPROVEMENT OF POSTAGE STAMPS.

TO TILE EDITOR OF TEE EXPRESS.

Sla,—Why, in the name of common sense, is not
the very ceavenient plan of perforation adopted as well for

government had purchased the patent.

DEFACED COIN.
TO TILT IDITOR OF TUT =PIM.

Sta,—When a persona oo unfortunate as to
receive coin with holes in it, litters cut upon it, or other-
wise defaced, be finds some difficulty in getting rid of it.
I have therefore avoided it as much as possible ; my servant
has had orders to do so too, and upon a coin being tendered
I with a large hole in it, she requested another might be given
in lieu of- it, but the next offered her having several letters
and marks cat upon it, she declined receiving that also, and
was they told she might "go without it," which she did.
The same parties having before tried to thrust defaced
coin upon me, I requited the Master of the Mint to repri-
mand them, at the same time remarking that I did not
wish to do the people in question any harm. The following
letter tells me the coin was not uneurrent ! Are we to
understand the recent act relating to defaced coin is a dead
letter? 1 enclose my card, and remain you., Re.,
B. T. W.
Sir,—l am directed by the Muter of the Mint to inform
you that it does not certainly appear that the coin you re-
ceived was unman, and that at all events the Master of
the Mint has no authority to reprimand, as suggested.

FOREIGN CORN.

Most of the accounts from the Baltic agree in stating
that the quantity of old wheat remaining in store was
quite inconsiderable, and that but small supplies of new

LORI) FITZWILLTAM'S COAL PITS.—The following
alarming paragraph lately appeared in the Yorkshire Go:,lie:
"The Great Northern Company have, it is said, offered
Lord Fitzwilliam 60,0001. a year for his coal mines, en a
lease for 50 years. A considerable portion of the coals sup-
plied to the Great Northern comes from the pits of his lord-
ship." We understand there is not even a grain of fact in
it. Nothing of the kind is contemplated. We trust our
Yorkshire friend will be glad to hear that his information
is utterly worthless; we mean his information in this 1
instanre, for, generally speaking, the Yorkshire Gazette is a
good informant.—llerapaih's Journal.

FLOODS.—For more than a fortnight past the
rivers and rivulets in this county have been overflowing
their banks, and the low lands have been and are becoming
more deeply covered with water up to the present time In
the vicinity of Lewes, particularly about Denney and OM
ham, the water spread over the land to a great extent,
giving it the appearance of lakes and islands. In the nor-
thern part of the county the case is similar, and the area
between Lancing and Worthing has had, during the past
week, very much the appearance of an archipelago. The
land to the west of Angmering is in the same state. On
Sunday morning last the rain fell in torrents.and continued
to do so for hours, rendering the roads at Fishbourae and
Donnington quite impassable fur foot passengers ; at the
former place the water reached to the axletrces of carriages
passing that way. The farmers have been put to much in-
convenience, but we have nut heard of any casualty.—

A telegraphic despatch, dated Berlin, February 12,
brings word that M. Waldbott's motion in favour of
giving larger liberty to the Jesuits, was rejected in
the Second Chamber by a majority of 173 against
123 rotes. The purport of the motion was, that cer-
tain decrees issued by the Committee of Public In-
struction and Worship last spring, concerning the
restriction of the catholic missions, as well as the
education and establishment of catholic ecclesiastics.
were unconstitutionaL At present, the catholic. of
Prussia complain that they cannot, without a special
authorisation from the government, visit the Ger-
manic College at Rome, placed under the surveillance
of the Pope, as well as the establishments directed
by the Jesuits, while subjects belonging to other
Christian creeds may visit any schools they please
both at home and abroad. The minister assured the
boues last week that it was never intended to abridge
any rights that catholics had ever enjoyed in Prussia,
hence, probably, the rejection of :4. Waldbott's
motion.
The Vsenna Gazette of the 10th contains the names

a youth aged 19, abridges the term of his imprison-

land have addressed notes of similar tenor to Austria, de•
mending explanations respecting her marching of troops
upon the Turkish frontier, to which the Vienna cabinet
has given a reply which ham proscd satistactory to both
governments." This announcement coin idea with an

Turkey which iii termed in several Vienna letters.

This was an action for money had and received, money

not indebted, upon which isms was joined.
The case having been gene into at some length, and a
question of law having arisen,
Lord Campbell suggested that a special verdict had better
be taken. _ _ .

A great deal of discussion then took place between the

that a verdict should be taken for 2,6331. 6s. (the amount

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
CONSTANTINOPLS, Om 25.

A 'Fetid steamer, with despatehts from Selim
Paths for the Seraskier, arrived on the evening of
the 23rd from Bate um.

The contents of these despatches are known by
vague rumors only.
It is said that on the 20th of October, Musa Bey
sent a reconnoitring party in the direction of Cirock-
dere. The Russians surprised and attacked this
detachment on its march. Selim Puha, attracted
by the noise of the skirmish, advanced with rein-
forcements, and encountered a corps of 15,000 Rus-
sians from Redoubt Kale and other points. An
engagement took place ; the Russian forces were
rooted, and Selim Pasha established his head-quarters
at Orelly, at the distance of Mx leagues from Cirock-
, dere.

AUSTRIA.

A Vienna letter of the lst inst. in the Nurnberg
Corresponden:, states that Baron Meyendorff has
formally declared that the Czar will not accept any
arrangement, no matter by whom it may be pro-
posed, and that the proposals which his Majesty
lately submitted to the European Powers are the
only words of peace which will ever issue from his
lips. This peremptory declaration is, of course,
fatal to Lord Redcliffe's proposals.

Your obedient servant,
Reform Club, Nov. 7. JOHN THELAWNY.

A correspondent u :—Sine my last communi-
cation, four offi apt. Wodehouse, R.A., Lieut.
Hon. E. Ellis, R.A., Lunt. Sykes, 56th, and Lieut.
Cireatorex, R.E.—have been added to the list of
deaths. I send you a file of papers, in which you
will see how hard the natives are trying to prove the
disease to be imported.
On the 28th, the town of St. Georges was evacu-
ated by the troops; 40 sick sent to Port Island, and
33 to us. Of the latter, seven have died ; they pre-
sented characteristics of the worst form of the disease
--hemorrhages and hemorrhagic ulcers, (co. The
company at Fort George which sent guards into St.
Georges has also been withdrawn, as seven cases had
occarusd among men thus exposed.
I saw Dr. Deeble, who told me that of the whole
military hue at St. George's upwards of one-third
had ded, and more than • half of those attacked ;1
and that the avenge duration of the fatal cases was
about 70 to 80 hours. I heard yesterday from a
friend in the neighbourhood that cases are still (m-
-eaning in the town of St. George's, particularly
among children; so that we cannot consider it a safe
locality will we get some cold weather. A few cases
have marred in Hamilton, in spite of their sanitary
precautions; but the type of those, like the cases on
this island, have generally been mild, though deaths
have occurred in both instances.

The coaviets here are now suffering, and the dis-
ease appears to be epidemic on board the Tenedos
hospital ship, where it is attacking those who were
mftiog with other complaints, and a number of
invalids, debilitated men, who were waiting an op-
portunity of being sent home.

STRAND.

This theatre opened for the season last night.
under the auspices of Mr. Allcroft, its approaches and in-
terior having received darieg the vacation an entirely new
appearance, at the hands of the painter and decorator. The

programme announced the introduction of four new pieces
from whict, however, the usual discount on bills must be
deducted, seeing that two of the " new " pieces are
adaptations from the French, aid a third a bur-
lesque on Hamlet. The remaining piece—A Cheap Ex-
01181.01$ 10 Brig/41011; or, Motels terms Lodging Muses—
is, as its name indicates, founded on one of the episodical
controversies of the (ley in which the cause of hotels, as
contrasted with the petty pilfering' and annoyances of
lodging-houses, is advocated. There is no attempt at a
plot, and anything but dramatic justice is done to a theme
which in competent bands might be made amusing. The
Maid of Normandy and the IV of the Public, the two
foreign importations, told better with the audi-
ence—the latter especially—in which Miss Rebecca
Isaacs played a variety of characters, and sang some
lively songs with great spirit and effe.t. Like most of the
French pieces of the same class. the Pet of the Public is full
of quaint situation and sparkling dialogue, and only re-
quired to be properly cast, as it was last night, to make it
tell with an audience. The Hamlet is au operatic bur-
-1 league, in which Mr. W. J. Ilurlstane (a first appearance
here) performs the part of Hamlet. In spite of some
wretched rhymes and worse puns, there was enough of
piquant oddity in the parody to carry it through
(though the lest piece player.) with unflagging buoy-
ancy. The acting of Mr. Rurlstone, who has
evidently considerable and various dramatic ability,
. .

contributed not a little to its success. Indeed, we have little
doubt that this and the Pel of the Public will be rayourites
fur some time et the Strand. Mr. Angel sad Mr. R. F.
Smith, as well as Mr. Hurls:one, are new additions to the
corps of the Strand staff, and are lik:ly to become favourites
with the public—the former sea quiet and unexaggerated
but clear and efficient performer, and the latter as a rattling
conllent actor, of the "Young Rapid " school. The house
was very well filled.

FISHING STEAMER.—An iron steamer, intended
for the "Deep Sea Fishing Association of Scotland," has
been launched on the Clyde. Sho is about 100 feet in length,
and 16 feet beam ; her measurement about 100 tons, and
her engines are 30-horse power. The propelling power on
a totally new principle, by the patentees, our talented
townsmen, Messrs. Ruthven, requires neither paddles nor
screw. One important feature of the invention is, that by
a simple movement the vessel can be either stopped, turned,
or backed almost instantaneously, without requiring the
steam to be let off or the machinery stopped, which, with
its other advantages, will certainly tend to create a complete
revolution in steam navigation. Ihe vessel was built by the
Messrs. nuthven, and se named the Enterprise. She is
likely to prove valuable to her ingenious builders, and also
to her highly•spirited owners, who are doing so much to
secure a constant and increased supply of fresh white fish
for Edinburgh and neighbourhood, u well as to provide for
the comfort and safety of the fishermen in their perilous
duties. The vessel is intended to carry four boats, with
their crews, nets, and lines, to the fishing ground ; and,
from her construction, can lower or take on board the boats
with their cargoes at pleasure, while she admits of fishing
from her desk, and of trawling on the new system, and is,
besides, ever ready to afford shelter to the tiabermen should
a Bays spring up.—Gisegoto Ile-ald.

Mr. R. C. HALL moved a vote of thanks to the Lord
,yor with a warm eulogiurn on the manner in which hie
lordship had Willed the duties of his high office. With
respect to the project itself, he thought it deserving of the
most complete moues; but hoped it would not be at-
tempted until ample funds had been collected. lie saw no
force in the objection to erecting a statue to Prince Albert
during his lifetime, any more than if it had been proposed
to take his Royal Highness's portrait. (lieu, hear.) For
the statue also they had a precedent in the ease of the Duke
of Wellington. There was an absurd notion in this coon-
try that sculpture should only be used for monumental
purposes, but he trusted that the present meeting would
lead to its more general adoption as a means of commemo-
rating great events.
Mr. J. Wont) seconded the resolution.
Mr. Seim. Russet'. supported the resolution, claiming
for Prince Albert the title of (sander of the Eahibitien, as
a collection of the products of the susited industry of the
world.
The LORD MAYOR returned thanks. lie hoped that all

of Sishopsgute-street, and supported by Mr. Cooke.
The insolvent, a parliamentary agent, had bean managing
director of this Depodt and General Life Assurance Com-

various other companies, and a point wu raised whether
he was not a trader. The companies were not incorporated

LYCEUM.

The piice sr occasion produced here a few nights
since (for the introduction of Mr. Wright), as the Commenct-
meat of a Bad Farce, has received ► new sequel under the
title of how to Make home happy, which was played for
the first time last night; the original termination (Wr ig At I
oh Last) being new detached and played separately. The
novelty of night is of the slightest passible materiels,
being a mere peg on which to hang the broad farcical acting
of Mr. Wright and Mrs. F. Matthews. A jealous wife tor-
menting her husband by her groundless suspicions, and
brought to her senses by having the tables turned and be-
, coming herself the suspected one. There is nothing sew
; in;thi►, nor is there in the piece of hilt night any involve-
;meet of plot or neatness of construction, which aloes could
give value to so common place a subject. The acting of
Mr. Wright and Mrs. F. Matthews, however, secured a suc-
cess which was certainly nut deserved by the piece itself.
