TDB BALLOT.

TO TEE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR, —ln your paper of to-day there is a leading
article upon the Ballot, and all parties on the Liberal
side will quite agree with you on the expediency of try-
ing the Ballot, after the experience of the last general
election. The objection raised by many to secret voting
is, that in the United States it does not in all cases pre-
vent corruption. These opponents to the Ballot, how-
thisv forget that in country citizens are not made
by a residence of two or three years ; but that voters
are only eligible by registration. In my experience in
America,
b the corruption at elections mainly practised
electors
was violent partisans
of the W. yto the polling-booths who we 13. school, takingre ot cizens ;in
some cases they had not been landed n
in the it
country
three months. It may be asked, What security had
either side that such votes would be given as directed ?
There would be no security if the voting tickets were
not given until applied for at the polling-places at the
time depositing the vote. And this is, I should
imagine, the course which in England would be marked
out.
Altogether I am convinced that in England a more
improved system than that which exists in the States
could be adopted. It strikes me that to meet the views
of the opponents to the Ballot, voters might be allowed
the
ot optiobut n of either giving in their votes viva voce, or by
Ball, no g committees should be allowed
in either case to exist any longer,
It is folly to regret a system proposed in accordance
with popular feeling, because it does not attain perfec-
tion. It is quite evident nothing can be worse than our
present system • and a trial of an improved system of
vote by Ballot should not be inconsiderately objected to.
I remain, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
A LANDHOLDER.

Liverpool, 13th Jan., 1853.
P.S. In making the foregoing suggestions, of course
I admit that it may be within the possibility of the Go-
vernment to offer a plan quite as effectual.

DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRATION AT
HORSELYDOWN.

Yesterday (Monday) morning, between the hours of
two and three, the inhabitants of Dockhead and Horse:
lydown were most painfully alarmed in consequence of
the sudden outbreak of a fire, which in a compare'
tively brief period reduced to ruins the furniture
and wearing apparel of nearly a dozen industrious
families, and greatly jeopardised the lives of aline
twenty individuals. The scene of the terrible nue'
fortune was Charles-street, Horselydown, in which th et:
roughfare stood one of the ancient structures, but Which
had been so modernised arid altered as to form three
houses. One part was occupied by Mr. J. Harris, bread
and biscuit baker, whilst the other portions were let out
in separate tenements. At the time of the outbreak, the
whole of the inmates, with the exception of Mr. Harris s
journeyman, were in their beds asleep. Amongst the
number made prisoners by the destructive element oer.•
several young children, whose screams on seeing the
and smoke issuing into their rooms became pitiable in '
extreme. The parents •of the children made to the frent
windows, and were on the point of throwing them out
t
into the street, when the bystanders entreated
to do so, but to wait until the fire-escapes arrived. The
poor creatures on finding that if they remained any 11041'
nothing could prevent their lives from being destroyed
tied a number of sheets together, and by that exPech.P.
they succeeded in lowering three children out of the win.
dow, and safely lodging them in the street. The father
of the children then lowered his wife down in the said
manner, and afterwards lowered himself down, en,
thereby they escaped a horrible death. An old geneci
man who also lived in the upper part of the house, ant
who had a female relative sleeping there, on finding ala
the fire was progressing so fiercely, laid hold of hr
friend and carried her through the flames, and fortuner„,,te
neither of them received the least personal injury. "1g
stairs, first, second, and third floors of the private lon:a
are nearly burned out; the roof is partially destroy
r!
and the baker's building and contents are very consider
ably damaged by fire, water, and smoke. The buifich,l
which belong to St Olave's grammar schools are under
stood to be insured in one of the London offices.

The Wellington Shield. Provart.

We almost despair of ever finishing with these
tributes to the late Duke of Wellington—now
engravings, now verses, now biographies. There
is "no end of them," to express the fact in the
vernacular. Here, as about the latest that has
fallen under our notice, is a series of engravings--
making quite a little portfolio of themselves—
representing the central figures, and the sur-
rounding ten compartments of the famous Wel-
lington Shield, designed by the late Thomas
Stothard, R. A., and presented to his departed grace
by the merchants and bankers of the metropolis.
Altogether, there are seven plates in the collection,
one of them portraying in a cluster round the Iron
Duke, some of his most distinguished General, such
as Hill, Piston, Lynedoch) and Anglesea. The sub-
jects of the ten groups surrounding this central one
are—" The Battle of Assaye—the Battle of Vimiero
—the Passage of the Douro—the Lines of Torres
Vedras--the Storming of Badajoz—the Battle of
Salamanca--the Battle of Vittoria—the Battle of
the Pyrenees—Entrance into Toulouse—the Con-
ferring of the Dukedom." The engravings which
have been made from these subjects are, it must be
confessed, somewhat rough, but it may be added
also that they are occasionally vigorous.

CONSTERNATION IN THE TIIILERIES.—We understand,
from good authority, that very great consternation
.has
been produced within the last fortnight in the Tuileries,
in consequence of a. large bundle of letters, of great
State importance, having been abstracted from one of
the private apartments of the EmpTror. Among these
letters are no fewer than eighty which, we are assured,
very seriously compromise the characters of some of the
most distinguished public men in France, and develope
political and private intrigues on the part of persona
h will astonish France and Europe, should
the letters so stolen ever see the light. In the mean-
nheovneoru srh, s
which
phecieted of anything at variance with the strictest
mean-
time, so great is the anxiety of the Emperor to recover
them that an-offer of a i;e7ard of 200,000 francs has
been made for their restoration.—Morning Advertiser.
FIRE AT WILTON A BBEY.—A fire broke out at the seat
of the Right Hon. Sidney Herbert, M.P., Secretary at
War, shortly after eight o'clock on Sun day morning.

sooner was the circumstance known in Salisbury than
many trades men took conveyances, and repaired thither
to offer their service—in fact, hundreds of others started
on foot. By half-past ten the fire was got under, and a
number of those who had assisted, or had attended for
that purpose, were regaling themselves in front of the
entrance to the abbey. It appears that the front library
chimney, which is partly composed of timber, ignited.
The loss of property will not be great.

The Pire Queen steam-vessel, tender to the Victory
flag-ship at Portsmouth, called at Woolwich to-day to
take some coals on board on her return from Deptford,
where she had been with the furniture of Captain George
Bohun Martin, C. 8., appointed to be Captain Superin-
tendendent of Deptford victualling and dockyards. The
Fire Queen left the same day for Sheerness on her return
to Portsmouth. The Cruiser steam-sloop, Commander
the Hon. George H. Douglass, was taken out of the
basin to-day, and remains at moorings in the stream.

TO M. H. OW HER BIRTI

(From Eliza Cook's Journal.)
Van, for by that quaint name I know thee best,
ting
Wilt thou accept these few poor words of
Like gree •
Poor, p oor indeed, and vet a bosom-guest
thee can need no formal speech at meeting.

I cannot mark this day with costly gift,
I do not offer what is rich or rare;
I've little wealth—and some may say
ev less thrift—
But I've a heart, and that thourt er share.
Our friendship did not rise in headlong speed,
But
We s grewd
to like
weavessunhiovene out of misty morn ;
eem'L's mantle without heed,
And yet how well the home-made garb has worn.
Year after year, dark nights and summer days`
In fireside chairs and grassy nooks we've spent;
I was a fitful dreamer, but my ways
Wore pleasant to thee, and thou wert content.

I knew not what a gem had strung itself
Upon my thread of life, till life seemed breaking,
I knew not that Truth's pearl had hung itself
Upon my breast, until that breast was aching.
And then thy deep and holy well of love
Opened before me with unceasing spring ;
Thou wert among the few who stand to prove
That Friendship is not all a shadowy thing.
What thou hast met and done, and borne for me,
None but myself and God will ever know ;
My rill of Song can never bring to thee.
The ocean-current of my bosom's flow.
Thou art to me as dew is to the flower,
That has been crushed by some untoward tread;
For like that dew thou hast a secret power
To help me raise again my stricken head.
Oh, thou bast been so quiet and so tender,
So calmly earnest, and so firmly kind,
That every tie which human heart can render,
Links mine with thine to sanctify and bind.
Thou art most dearly loved, and yet when nigh rue'
No watcher can detect upon my brow
A ray to tell my spirit-star is by me,
Nor hear my words pour forth with warmer Pr'
For those who cling 'mid lengthened pain and vreePil*
Seem to partake of nature half divine ;
And thou art held by me in sacred keeping,
As something fitting for an altar shrine.
",The world is yet before us ;" let it try e
By all its charms to blot thy cherished nam ;

ARRIVAL IN DUBLIN.

By electric telegraph we learn that at half-past 10,
yesterday morning, her Majesty, accompanied by Prince
Albert, the Prince of Wales, and Prince Alfred, landed
at Kingstown,
The Lord•Lieutenatt, the Primate, the Duke of
Leinster, and several other distinguished persons were
in attendance.

Her Majesty's reception by the immense multitude was
most enthusiastic, fully equalling, if it did not excel, the
warmth with which she was greeted on her first visit.
The Queen was visibly delighted ; and just before en-
tering the station she turned round, stood a few minutes,
and graciously acknowledged the acclamations of her
people. They then entered the Royal carriage, and
were rapidly driven to Dublin, where they arrived at a
quarter before 11.
Here the same enthusiastic welcome awaited the
Queen. The streets through which the procession
passed were densely crowded. Every window was filled
with elegantly-dressed ladies, and all were bent on mani-
festing in every conceivable manner their loyalty.
On arriving at Carlisle-bridge the procession quickened
its pace, and in a short time her Majesty alighted at the
Vice-regal Lodge in Phcenix-park.
Her Majesty and Prince Albert drove out on Monday
afternoon in the southern suburbs in the direction of
Mount Anvil, the beautiful residence of Mr. Dargan,
and it is stated that her Majesty honoured that gentle-
man with a visit.

The illuminations in the evening were general and
most brilliant.

ARRIVAL OF THE EARL OF ELLESMERE.—The Earl of
Ellesmere and suite landed from the Leander, under a
salute of 13 guns, at Plymouth yesterday evening, and
proceeded by train for London.
LORD PALMERsToN.—As Lord Palmerston is to ac-
company her Majesty this year on her visit to Balmoral,
it is in contemplation to present his lordship with the
freedom of Perth, on the return of the Royal party from
the north, provided his lordship expresses a willingness
to accept of the proffered honour.
Lord and Lady John Russell arrived on a visit to
the Earl of Minto, her ladyship's father, at Mao
House, near Hawick, from Roseneath, Dumbarton, on
Friday evening. The noble leader of the House of
Commons and lady return to Roseneath at the close o
the week.

THE UNITED ELEVEN OF ENGLAND v. THE

MANCHESTER CLUB.
This match was not played out, as the " United_
Eleven" had to appear at Brighton at the beginning of
this week. The weather was unfavourable during the
whole of the three days, and the Manchester men had
not finished their first innings when the stumps were
drawn on Saturday night. They were very much be-
hind-hand, and could not have won the game except by
some extraordinary accident.

SPAIN.

A royal decree in the Madrid Gazette of the 24th
enacts that in order to carry on actively the coining
of decimal money, the Mint of Jubia shall be re-
established, and all the copper coin belonging to
the government in Catalonia shall be conveyed to
it to be recoined. The decree further enacts that
coins of a half-real and a demi-decime shall cease
to be coined, and that instead of them coins of the
same weight of the value of cuartillo, or twenty-
five hundredths of a real shall be struck off. A
letter says that the Minister of the Interior is
drawing up a project for reducing the number of
provinces in the kingdom from 49 to 20, which will
be a great saving. The same letter says that the
attacks of a certain portion of the English press on
the institutions and leading personages of Spain
had begun to excite attention in the political cir-
cles : and that it was considered impossible to pass
them under silence. It characterises some of them
as " gross calumnies," and as " malevolent and
absurd." The heat had begun to diminish.
The Three per Cents. were done at 44g ; the
New Three per Cents, at 23t1 ; the Debt of the
First Class, at 10 ; and that of the Second, at 51.

SOUTH AMERICA.

The Daedalus, Captain Wellesley, arrived yes-
terday afternoon at Plymouth, from the Pacific ;
her dates are,—Valparaiso, June 3 ; Falkland Is-
lands, June 24 ; Rio, July 13. She brings home
$1,400,000.
While lying off the coast of Mexico her pay-
master, Feeley, -while on shore, was assassinated,
being found dead with a dirk or dagger wound in
his side.

The Daedalus is expected to leave for Portsmouth
to-day, to discharge freight, and will then return
to Plymouth to be paid off.

THE HERO OF SCINDE.

r Lieutenant-General Sir Charles James Napier
died on the 29th of August, at 5 o'clock a.m.
He expired under the old colours of the 22d
Regiment, for his son-in-law, Major M'Murdo,
seized those glorious relics from the corner of his
chamber, and fastened them to the head of his
open bedstead before breathing ceased. That
open bedstead is now his bier ; his head lies
immediately bemeath the fine picture of Meeanee,
by Jones ; and the glorious colours of the 22d
still wave over him.

On each side of the corpse is an Indian spear
hung with Belooch shields ; and near him are
sabres, matchlockn, and other trophies taken in
battle. At his :feet is the Chief Ameer's white
marble chair of state, over the back of which are
arranged the General's military orders, his grand
collar and cross or the Bath. On the seat lie his
own sword of secrvice and other accoutrements
worn in fight.

Facing the chair is the silver testimonial pre-
sented to him by the civil service of Scinde ; and
at its foot are two swords of honour—one pre-
sented by the Earl .of Ellenborough, the other by
the officers of the 1.02 d Regiment, which he com-
manded in a littoral expedition against the
Americans.

Last, and most esteemed of all, is placed, close
beside him, a swoJed of honour presented by the
Belooch Sirdars, his desperate enemies in war ;
but, after experiencing his government in peace,
his fervent admirers and firm friends ; for, when
his power was over, those generous men gave him
the sword as a testimony that they regarded him
as the pacificator and benefactor of their country.
Therefore it lies bes ide him in death.

Thus lie rests amidst honours, not accorded by
factious power, but won in war by a prompt
genius and strong arm; in peace, by a wise head
and gentle heart.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

By electric telegraph we learn that a British
steamer arrived at Marseilles on Sunday. She
carried dispatches containing further details of the
news of the acceptance by the Porte of the Vienna
note, with a few unimportnt modifications.
• The Journal de Franefort, under date of Vienna,
25th, says :—" The last courier from Bucharest
has confirmed the news that the differerence be-
tween Russia and Turkey had been smoothed
down in its most essential points. The Austrian
consul-general had received an account that the
Russians would evacuate Moldavia and Wallachia
by the 2d September. This result is mainly at-
tributed to the mediation of the Austrian cabinet."
The Porte has sent Chekeb Effendi into Servia
as commissioner extraordinary.
A Constantinople letter of the 15th states that
the Egyptian- fleet, which arrived there the pre-
ceding day, consists of eleven ships, having col-
lectively 610 guns. It is under the command of
Hassan Rachi. Before the fleet sailed all the
Coptic Christians who were in the troops to be em-
barked were dismissed.

The Journal de Constantinople, the semi-official
organ of the Turkish Government, says " that an
honourable peace is likely to be concluded."
The Cronstadt Satellite of the 20th states :
" To-day we have no news from Bucharest, but
our last letters leave no doubt whatever that the
Russian troops will take up their winter quarters
in the Danubian Principalities."
Notwithstanding the prospeots of peace, the ex-
pedition of troops to Vienna still continues. The
second division of the Egyptian fleet has also re-
ceived orders to come to Constantinople. The
Russian Consul-General, M. de Fock, has been
recalled from Egypt.

SPAIN.

A royal decree in the Madrid Gazetto of the 24th
enacts that in order to carry on actively the coining
of decimal money, the Mint of Jubia shall be re-
established, and all the copper coin belonging to
the government in Catalonia shall be conveyed to
it to be recoined. The decree further enacts that
coins of a half-real and a demi-decime shall cease
to be coined, and that instead of them coins of the
same weight of the value of cuartillo, or twenty-
five hundredths of a real shall be struck off. A
letter says that the Minister of the Interior is
thawing up a project for reducing the number of
provinces in the kingdom from 49 to 20, which will
be a great saving. The same letter says that the
attacks of a certain portion of the English press on
the institutions and leading personages of Spain
had begun to excite attention in the political cir-
cles : and that it was considered impossible to pass
them under silence. It characterises some of them
as " gross calumnies," and as " malevolent and
absurd." The heat had begun to diminish.
The Three per Cents. were done at 44 ; the
New Three per Cents. at 23 ; the Debt of the
First Class, at 101 l ; and that of the Second, at 51.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

By electric telegraph we learn that a British
steamer arrived at Marseilles on Sunday. She
carried dispatches containing further details of the
news of the acceptance by the Porte of the Vienna
note, with a few unimportnt modifications.
The Journal de Franefort, under date of Vienna,
25th, says :—" The last courier from Bucharest
has confirmed the news that the differerence be-
tween Russia and Turkey had been smoothed
down in its most essential noints. The Austrian
consul-general had received an account that the
Russians would evacuate Moldavia and Wallachia
by the 2d noptembor. This romilt is mainly at-
tributed to the mediation of the Austrian cabinet."
The Porte has sent Chekeb Effendi into Servia
as commissioner extraordinary.
A Constantinople letter of the 15th states that
the Egyptian fleet, which arrived there the pre-
ceding day, consists of eleven ships, having col-
lectively 610 guns. It is under Cie command of
Hassan Rachi. Be: bre the fleet sailed all the
Coptic Christians who were in the troops to be em-
barked were dismissed.

The Journal de Constantinople, the semi-official
organ of the Turkish Government, says " that an
honourable peace is likely to be concluded."
The Cronstadt Satellite of the 20th states :
" To-day we have no news from Bucharest, but
our last letters leave no doubt whatever that the
Russian troops will take up their winter quarters
in the Daitubian Principalities."
Notwithstanding the prospects of peace, the ex-
pedition of troops to Vienna still continues. The
second division of the Egyptian fleet has also re-
ceived orders to come to Constantinople. The
Russian Consul-General, M. de Fock, has been
recalled from Egypt.

ARRIVAL IN DUBLIN.

By electric telegraph we learn that at half-past 10,
yesterday morning, her Majesty, accompanied by Prince
Albert, the Prince of Wales, and Prince Alfred, landed
at Kingstown.
The Lord-Lieutenant, the Primate, the Duke of
Leinster, and several other distinguished persons were
in attendance.

Her Majesty's reception by the immense multitude was
most enthusiastic, fully equalling, if it did not excel, the
warmth with which she was greeted on her first visit.
The Queen was visibly delighted ; and just before en-
tering the station she turned round, stood a few minutes,
and graciously acknowledged the acclamations of her
people. They then entered the Royal carriage, and
were rapidly driven to Dublin, where they arrived at a
quarter before 11.
Here the same enthusiastic welcome awaited the
Queen. The streets through which the procession
passed were densely crowded. Every window was filled
with elegantly-dressed ladies, and all were bent on mani-
festing in every conceivable manner their loyalty.
On arriving at Carlisle-bridge the procession quickened
its pace, and in a short time her Majesty alighted at the
Vice-regal Lodge in Phcenix-park.
Her Majesty and Prince Albert drove out on Monday
afternoon in the Southern suburbs in the direction of
Mount Anvil, the beautiful residence of Mr. Dargan,
and it is stated that her Majesty honoured that gentle-
man with a visit.
