LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1852.

Mach hes recently been said and written on the
subject of railway accidents. The changes have
been rung on the subject usque ad nauseam. At
clash or coffee-room we hear of " railway mismanage-
ment," " rs;tlway, unpunctuality," " rail tray irregu-
larity," or of " railway grievances." If a casualty
°astir, whether it be the unavoidable delay of a few
minutes, exciting the indignation of some atrabilious
passenger, or of a more formidable character, such as
a break down, a running off the rails, or aeollisi
the Board of Management are formally impeached,
0,0 bills of Pains anti penalties threatened against
the Directors. Some of the more moderate would be
contented with the Companies being mulcted in heavy
pecuniary goes, while nothing would satisfy others but
making the Directors criminally responsible for
every untoward occurrence, although the greatest
possible precautions bad been taken, and nothing
want ling which human foresight could provide. If
the suggestions of these wiseacres were even partially
adopted, a railway directorship would be anything
bust a 'o4d of roses ; and it would speedily become
impossible to obtain the services of men of character
and respectability, under their new and almost un-
limited responsibilities; nor would the shareholders,
ob even the best circumstanced lines, have much pros-
pect of receiving a dividend.
From the assertions so freely and arrogantly put
forward, it would appear as if directors were men of
peculiar tastes and feelings, regarding with malignant
pieespre the misfortunes of their fellow-men, although
y pecuniary losses, and al-
accompanied by heav
me,es unlighted liabilities. Their carriages might
be crushed to atoms—their permanent way torn
up, or otherwise. damaged; and in case of loss
of life or bodily injury

they had received unexceptionable characters ; or for
the failure of machinEry that had previously been

stringent tests. This is
reay too absurd. It defeats its own objects.
The directors of the difTersnt companies, and every
person engsged in their service, are using every pos-
able exeetion to prevent these casualties —and they
reqntra no stimulus beyond that supplied by their
feelings as men of the world, whose pecuniary inte-

THE CONTINENT.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 15th have arrived. The
Military Gazette announces that General 011oaui has
received orders to proceed to the Island of Cuba to
fill the functions of Clmmandant-General of the de-
partment of the Centre, and of political and military
governor of Puerto Principe. In addition to the
troops who are now being embarked at Santander for
Cuba' others are preparing to follow them for the
same destination.

Letters from Cordova in the 'Jerald() of the 15th
state that hands of robbers are increasing in that pro.
vine-, and that the band of El Chato in particular,
far from being dispersed, as had been said, was daily
committing the most atrocious crimes in the district
of Benaindi. Regular troops have been eent against
him, but with little effect, as he retreats into impene-
trable Sierras with his band, whence he makes his
excursions in complete security, and kidnaps rich
persons, for whom he afterwards exacts exorbitant
ransoms. All the other bands seem to be in commu-
nication with or dependent from that of El Chato.

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi-
cacy of this medicine :
" 157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850.
" Sir,—ln acquainting yob with the great benefit which I have ex-
perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS,
I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public
who may be similarly affected.
" About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout
in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va-
riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and
in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro-
cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief,
and my sufferings can be appreciated only by those who know some-
thing of this disease.
" It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir-
teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I
lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity
the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect
health.
"From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis-
ease approaching, I hare instant recourse to this medicine, which to
me is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have
ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause.
Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf-
fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS
is towards its improvement.
"I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result
has always been of the most gratifying character.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" GARRET FOSTER GILL.

" To Mr. Front, 229, Strand."
For every description of Gout and Rheumatism, Sciatica, Tic-dolo-
rens, &c., &c., BLAIit'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS are a
sovereign remedy, contain neither mercury, opium, or any other
dangerous drug, require no care whatever in their use, and ter ra-

MANAGEMENT OF RAILWAYS.

Mr. H. BROWN wished to ask the President of the
Board of Trade, whether it was the intention of the Go-
vernment to propose any measure for more effectually
enforcing the due and punctual observance of efficient
regulations on railways to secure the public safety ?
Mr. HENLEY said the whole subject of railways had
been referred to a committee that was about to meet,
and until that committee should have reported, it was
not the intention of Government to make any interfer-
ence with the existing laws relating to the management
of railways.
Mr. H. BROWN begged leave, under those circum-
stances, to give notice, that he should on an early day
after Christmas, call the attention of the house to the
lamentable loss of life incidental to railway traffic, re-
sulting from the absence of better regulations in its
management, and the necessity for some more direct
interference on the part of Government, for the purpose
of correcting the irregularities incident to the manage.
ment of railways.
ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS.

In reply to a question, •
Mr. Secretary WALPOLE stated that he had no ob.
jection to lay the report of the Ecclesiastical Comniis-
sioners on the table. It was his ' own private opinion
that local courts ought to be established for granting
probates upon wills, &c.
SMITHFIELD MARKET.

Mr. FORSTER wished to inquire of the Secretary o
State for the Home Department, what was doing toward
the removal of Smithfield Market.
Mr. Secretary WALPOLE said, the City of London
had the power of constructing the new market, and they
gave notice to the Home-office last summer of their in-
tention to do so. They had selected Copenhagen-
fields as the site of the new market, but the
approbation of the Secretary of State had not yet been
given to the plans ; Government had no power to inter-
fere until the expiration of the year.
Sir J. DUKE did not know whether he should be in
order in endeavouring to give the house some informa-
tion on this subject. (Cries of " Order, order.")
Sir W. CLAY begged to ask the hon. baronet what
proceedings the corporation had taken with reference to
the removal of the market ?

Sir J. DUKE hoped he was in order now. (No, no.)
The SPEAKER said it was not competent for the
hon. baronet to put a question to a private member
unless it related to some bill in proceeding before the
house. (Hem. hear.)

Mr. T. DIINCOMBE did not wish to be so disorderly
as the hon. baronet—(a laugh)—but he begged to ask
the night hon. gentleman the Secretary for the Home
Department, where the rate was that he had given his
sanction to ?

Mr. WALPOLE had already stated that it was in
Copenhagen-fields, and he had every reason to believe
that the City of London were taking active steps to
carry out the sections and plans. (Hear, hear.)

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Srn,—Allow me, through the medium of your columns,
to ask why ground landlords are to be, and have been,
exempted from poor and other rates, where their houses
and property are void ? I could mention numerous
cases, but one will illustrate the whole. There is a
house here, in Bath, that was occupied by the late Queen
Charlotte, void seven years, rented at a considerable
sum per annum ; during such period the ground land-
lord paid nothing towards poor rates. Another case—
a party sold a house that was worth 2,5001., for the sum
only of 3001., being glad on any terms to get rid of the
ground rent and taxes.—l am, your obedient servant,

P.S.—lf the ground landlords all of them had to pay,
as they ought, poor rates for houses void or not, there
would be a vast diminution (in those respective parishes
where they hold property) in the amount of rates now
required.
Bath, Friday.

THE DUBLIN EXHIBITION.—The example set by Lord
Charlemont has been quickly followed by the Earl of
Yarborough. His Lordship, in an interview with Mr.
Roney, on the part of the Committee of the Exhibition,
on Thursday last, expressed his intention, in the most
cordial manner, to contribute a large number of
first-class pictures, from his well-known collection at
Brocklesby, and of statues from the gallery at Appul-
' durcombe, Isle of Wight.
The Universal German Gazette contains a letter from
Dresden, of December 1, which says :—" The Indepen-
dent Gazette of Saxony was mistaken when it announced
that Prince Albert had asked for the hand of the Prin-
cess Carole of Wasa. On the contrary, the prince in-
tends demanding the hand of the Dowager Archduchess
Elizabeth of Este (born on January 17, 1831), daughter
of the Palatine Joseph of Hungary, and relict of the
young Duke Ferdinand of Este, who died a victim of
the philanthropic visit which he paid to the hospitals of
Prague on Dec, 16, no."

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS .DAY.

The December Sessions of the Central Criminal Court
were opened this morning by the Right Hon. the Lord
Mayor, the Recorder, Alderman Sir J. Duke, Alderman
Moon, Alderman Sir R. Carden, the Sheriffs, and other
civic functionaries.

The first edition of the calendar contained the names
of seventy-five prisoners.

The Recorder, previous to delivering his charge, ob-
served that the foreman of the grand jury and himself
had received anonymous letters, which, though written
in different hands, referred to the same subject, and ap-
peared to come from the same individual. This was a
most improper proceeding, and, moreover, a high
offence, no person being justified in sending private com-
munications either to the jury or judge relative to cases
pending in the court ; and if he could discover the
writer, he would punish him most severely. The learned
Recorder then proceeded to charge the grand jury.
Though the calendar, he said, contained some very
serious cases, he was happy to find that it was
not, on the whole, unusually heavy, and pre-
sented nothing which called for any special obser-
vations. The only case to which it was necessary
to advert was that of a girl named Connell, who was
last session put on her trial for murder under peculiar
circumstances, she having been charged with pouring
some corrosive liquid down the throat of an infant then
under her care, and which died a considerable time
afterwards. Owing to the evidence, however, not being
satisfactory as to the injury she inflicted being the
cause of death, she was acquitted by the direction of the
judge, who ordered that she should be indicted under
the statute which made the offence of pouring corrosive
liquid on a person with intent to disable, disfigure, or
do her grievous bodily harm, a felony, and it was in
that form that she would be brought again before the
Court. If they were satisfied that the evidence was
sufficient to put the prisoner on her trial for that offence,
it would be their duty to send the case for investigation
before the petty jury. There was a charge of murder
and some other serious cases, but they were not of a
peculiar nature, and did not call for any particular
reference.
The grand jury then retired to their room.

LONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1852.

If the CHANCELLOR of the ETCHEQUER were cog-
nizant of the real state of public opinion with
respect to the contemplated increase in the House
Duties, he would readily yield to the popular
wishes, and withdraw, or materially modify, the
obnoxious proposition. He has already given
way on a more important subject : we may there-
fore hope that he will not cling to his error with
obstinate tenacity. It was not the habit of his
predecessor " to stand or fall" with his Budgets.
Although as little amenable to reason as any pre-
vious Minister of Finance, Sir CHARLES WOOD
was compelled to vary his plans at least three or
four times in every session. The House-tax itself
affords a memorable instance of his submission.
The system now in operation is totally different
from that which was first introduced, and which
elicited such general disapprobation throughout
the country. He was obliged reluctantly to suc-
cumb ; but although he did so, neither himself nor
his colleagues considered it a cause for resignation,
or deemed that the fate of the Ministry depended
on the acceptance or rejection ofhis proposition. Still
less should Mr. DISRAELI regard his project for
the inereaae of the House-tax as of such vital
consequence. The true " principle" of his Budget
is, we have recently proved, the distinction for
the first time established between permanent and
precarious income. That is indeed
which the existence f a question on
perly be staked, and° the Government may pro-
one in which he will be sup-
ported and sustained by
the voice of the people.
Let its for a moment
eider whether the addi-
tional revenue to be obtained fromindi this alteration
essrnsabl .
in the House-tax is indeed
e We
have already proved that the
imated increase
from the extended area of taxation under the Li-
the amount that
come-tax is considerably below
may be fairly calculated ; that 925,000/, will be
obtained more than the Right Hon.
Gentleman
took credit for, and that exclusive of 600,0001.
more that would follow from bringing Ireland
generally within the operation of the Act. Here
then will at once be a million and a half' to the
Exchequer in place of the million, which is all
that Mr. DISRAELI expects from the House-tax.
The arrangement for the renewal of the Income-
tax should therefore have precedence, for if the
result he in accordance with our anticipations,
the change- in the House-Duties would be

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT-(TBIS .DAY.)

The December Sessions of the Central Criminal Court
were opened this morning by the Right Hon. the Lord
Mayor, the Recorder, Alderman Sir J. Duke, Alderman
Moon, Alderman Sir R. Carden, the Sheriffs, and other
civic functionaries.

The first edition of the calendar contained the names
of seventy-five prisoners.
The Recorder, previous to delivering his charge, ob-
served that the foreman of the grand jury and himself
had received anonymous letters, which, though written
in different hands, referred to the same subject, and ap-
peared to come from the same individual. This was a
most improper proceeding, and, moreover, a high
offence, no person being justified in sending private com-
munications either to the jury or judge relative to cases
pending in the court ; and if he could discover the
writer, he would punish him most severely. The learned
Recorder then proceeded to charge the grand jury.
Though the calendar, he said, contained some very
serious cases, he was happy to find that it was
not, on the whole, unusually heavy, and pre-
sented nothing which called for any special obser-
vations. The• only case to which it was necessary
to advert was that of a girl named Connell, who was
last session put on her trial for murder under peculiar
circumstances, she having been charged with pouring
some corrosive liquid down the throat of an infant then
under her care, and which died a considerable time
afterwards. Owing to the evidence, however, not being
satisfactory as to the injury she inflicted being the
cause of death, she was acquitted by the direction of the
judge, who ordered that she should be indicted under
the statute which made the offence of pouring corrosive
liquid on a person with intent to disable, disfigure, or
do her grievous bodily harm, a felony, and it was in
that form that she would be brought again before the
Court. If they were satisfied that the evidence was
sufficient to put the prisoner on her trial for that offence,
it would be their duty to send the case for investigation
before the petty jury. There was a charge of murder
and some other serious cases, but they were not of a
peculiar nature, and did not call for any particular
reference.
The grand jury then retired to their room.

STATE OF THE TRADE.

Notwithstanding that the number of beasts Were not in
excess of the corresponding market hi 1851, and that the
attendance of both town and country butchers was exten-
sive, the beef trade, owing to the heavy rain which fell
throughout the day, and the unfavourable state of the

TO EMIGRANTS

All requisite Goods and Clothing called an OUTFIT, or the best
opportunity for selecting to the largest or smallest amount, is afforded
to all Emigrants, at the Outfitting Establishment of E. MOSES and
SON, where Outfits for Officers in the Army or Navy, for Profes-
sional Gentlemen, Mechanics, or Gold Diggers, may be obtained, not
only with greater convenience and dispatch, but better in quality,

mation and full Lists of Outfits may be had on application, or post
free. A separate department is appropriated to Outfitting.
CAUTION.—E. MOSES' and SON regret having to guard the
public against imposition, having learned that the untradesmanlike
falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's
the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for
obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have
