At a Meeting convened at the house of Mr. Thos. Faulkner,

EARL OF CARDIGAN against Captain RICHARD
ANTHONY REYNOLDS, then Senior Captain of the
11th (Prince Albert's Own) Hussars.

of the sentence adjudging Captain Reynolds to be cashiered,

liament.
2. That rank and wealth are entitled to consideration so
long only as the possessor of them is deserving of respect.
3. That this meeting sincerely sympathise with Captain
Reynolds upon his being deprived of his military rank, and
trust that her Majesty the Queen, as the fountain of honour,
will be advised to exercise her Royal Prerogative, and restore

from aspersion the military character of the Army of India.
4. That this meeting adopt and recommend a National Sub-

be applied towards reimbursing Captain Reynolds the cost of
his defence, and the surplus appropriated in purchasing an an-

VOICE CONDUCTORS invented by
Mr. E. SOLOMONS are the most powerful instru-
ments for the relief of deafness. From their minute construc-
tion, and convenient form, deaf persons are enabled to wear
them entirely unseen, and they may be inserted and removed
with the greatest facility. By their use the lowest whisper
breathed at a public assembly vibrates on the organs of hear-
ing in such a pleasant manner, as to afford the greatest relief
to these labouring under the distressing ailment of deafness.
Mr. E. SOL( 'MONS' PATENT SPECTACLES possess
the advantage of modifying bright and strong light transmitted
through the various humours of the eye, so as to render vision
most perfectly distinct by day, or lamps or candles at night,
conveying also a sense of coolness and pleasure to the organ,
with the additional recommendation of being free from the per-
nicious attributes of common glasses. Their superlative ex-
cell ncu is attested by the following and many otter eminent
practitioners, who have examined, used, and recommended

with the most unblushing effrontery, issuing from the daily

detrimental to the sight. The names of some obscure apothe-

the public into a belief that these pernicious glasses possess
some very susernatural powers. These common Lenses may

I have also another claim upon you. You desire to
be regarded as the organ of the Liberal party. It is
to them that I wish to address myself, through you. If
you wish to have their confidence, you must declare
that there can ha nothing in common between the
enlightened Liberals of Great Britain, and the despotic
and aggressive Cabinet of St. Petersburgh. Prove at
once that Russia's craft in holding out the bait of false
civilization has not succeeded with the one party, even
it her putting herself forward as the enemy of popular
Government, has won for her the secret suffrage of the
other. In times not long passed, England was the
mistress of the ocean, the protectress of the weak, the
loe of the aggressor. Does she still wield the trident ?
Consider what might ensue from an unforeseen con-
flict between the French fleet and that of the Allies in
the Mediterranean. Be the result as it might, after
such mutual destruction, have you the hardiness to deny
that Russia, to whose fleet it is said, our Minister has
for the second time unlocked the Sound—to whom our

her forty-five sail of the line, would not possess that
empire ? On what would England's existence then de-
pend ? On the justice and moderation of Russia ?
These arc idle words. How vast the temptation, how
trifling the loss incurred by failure, compared with the
glorious prize gained by success. The empire and
wealth of Great Britain staked on a single throw against
a Russian expedition ! Our energies meanwhile paralysed
by a revolution in Ireland, by faction and treason at

Does England still protect the weak ? Bear witness
Sweden, Persia, Turkey, Poland ! Are not the Cireas-

Was it not her interest as well as her duty to prevent

LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1-40.

The following petition was presented to the Common
Council on Thursday :
" To the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, Alder-
men, and Commons, of the City of London, in
Common Council assembled,—
" The Petition of Thomas Bradfield, of No.B,
Ranelagh-grove, Pimlico, Coal Merchant—.
" Suowfini,--That you petitioner has presented
various petitions to your Honourable Court upon the
Coal-trade of London.
" That, on the 30th of July last, your petitioner
also presented another petition to your HonourableCourt.
" That your petitioner has reason to complain, and
does complain, that no attention has been paid to either
of these petitions.
" 1. That the said petitions relate to the gross and
manifold abuses in the Coal-trade, and more especially
to the mismanagement in respect to the collier ships
and the Coal Market.
" 2. That, by Act of Parliament, your Honourable
Court are directed to make rules and regulations for
the good government of the Coal Market, and of all
persons therein transacting business.
" 3. That no such rules have been made.

"4. That, in consequence of what your petitioner
cannot but consider neglect on the part of your Honour-
able Court to make such regulations, regulations have
been made by other persons ; which regulations have
wholly perverted the just intentions of the Legislature
coming into effect.
" 5. That the consequence thereof has been, and is
great detriment to the public, whom the Act of Parlia-
ment wag-intended to serve, and whom it did serve,
these regulations were made ; and, as it will again
serve the public, it' these regulations be set aside by
your Honourable Conm_and_the Act of Parliament be
fully complied with in all respects.
6. That one of these grievances which is increasing,
and with it a further increase in the price of coals, is,
that there arc not weighers enough to permit the coals
to be delivered from the ships, after their cargoes have
beet, sold, as the following statement will show :--
Viz. ships waiting for weighers—

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

(FRIDAY EVENING.)
TIMES.—It has become a subject of great interest
with all persons holding a stake in Spanish credit to
determine in what degree it is likely to be affected by
the abdication of the Queen-Regent and the ascendancy
of a military chieftain, General E•partero, in the
affairs of that country. On the whole, the impression
seems to be not against the Duke of Victory, though at
the same time apprehension is felt at the probable dis-
turbances to which this new contest in Spain may give

rise, and which would necessarily remove to a more dis-
tant period all hopes of establishing public credit on
surer basis. A vigorous Government, though its vigour
might be exercised as much against as in favour of the
creditor, seems, nevertheless, to be anticipated wi h
some satisfaction, provided such a power could be
at once attained without passing through a series
of years of anarchy and confusion. Above all,
a hope is expressed that some good might be
done by Espartero, provided other persons were
joined with him in the Government, a Regency of
three, in which a majority of two should have the
executive power, being talked of as a state of things
likely to prove satisfactory. However, any antici-
pations of advantage from a settled Government are
much counteracted by the natural dislike to change,
which is shared in by all those who are holders of
public securities ; and while there does not seem to be
so much apprehension with regard to the probable acts
of Espartero himself, the position assumed by the
Juntas is regarded with a suspicious eye, as likely to
lead to the most anarchical results. A reference to the
quotations for the London and French markets will
show that the speculators are still uncertain in their
operations, that the fluctuations have been inconsider.
able, and that there has been but a partial recovery
from the fall consequent on the first intelligence of the
Regent's abdication.

Were unable to deliver their coals in consequence of
being compelled to wait for weighers.
" Your petitioner wishes also to call the attention
of your Honourable Court to a fact which proves to
demonstration that if the Coal-trade in the port of
London were put upon a proper footing, the price per
ton to the consumers would be greatly reduced, viz. :
" That coals (from Derbyshire), of quite equal qua-
lity to the best Newcastle, have lately been brought
by canal to Paddington, and are delivered to the pur-
chasers at their houses at the price of 28s. per ton, at
which price they will remain, while those of similar
quality, brought into the port of London by the river
Thames, which ought to be much cheaper, are now
selling at from 328. upwards.
" That the expense of bringing coals by canal, in-
cluding the amount of duty levied thereon by the Cor-
poration of London, namely, is. Id. per ton is about
double the cost of bringing coals in ships to London,
whence it must be apparent to your Honourable Court,
and every one who learns the fact, that the charge to
the consumer of coals brought into the river is enormous,
unjust to them, and, in several respects, injurious
to the trade, manufacturers, and consumers of the
whole kingdom.
" Your petitioner therefore prays that your Honour-
able Court will take this and his two former petitions
into your immediate and most serious consideration, and
will take the easy means necessary to remove the griev-
ances he complains of, and thug permit the inhabitants
of this great metropolis to receive ono of the first neces-
saries of life at. the rate they ought to receive them.
And, inasmuch as coals during the winter months, when
they are dearest, are only purchased by the poor, and
by such persons as are unable to lay in a stock,
that your Honourable Court will as well from a
sense of humanity as of justice, at once put a stop to
these enormous evils which fall most heavily on those
who arc unable to bear them.
" THOMAS BRADFIELD.
"8, Ranelagh-grove, Pimlico, Oct. 2.2."

With respect to the late failure of a speculator in
public securities, groat complaint is made as to the
unequal manner in which the claims of creditors have
been provided for. While some are paid in full, and
some have recci" 15s. in the pound. it seems that
others have been offered no more than 2s. 6d. Although
there seems no doubt that the affair will be fully ar-
ranged, this partiality has caused the greatest dissatis-
faction.

The Consol-market opened buoyantly this morning,
and continued firm till the after part of the day, when
the news was received of the resignation of the French
Ministers, which from the fear that it iiiight produce
an unsettled state of things, by bringing contending
parties into collision, caused a decline, and some sales,
probably grounded on this intelligence, were effected.
At the close of business, however, the market assumed
a firmer aspect, though there is still a considerable de-
pression compared with the prices of the morning.
There was no great amount of business transacted
to-day in the foreign exchanges, and the rates may be
considered the same as last post.
A remarkable circumstance has occurred in the de.
livery of the letters brought by the last arrival from the
Cape--the Mary Ann. The mail bag is said to have
been landed at Scilly on Thursday. the 15th inst., but
the letters were not received in the city till this morn-
ing. The ship was in dock on Tuesday last.
The practice at the Post-office of paying money or-
ders to none but the payees themselves, on their per-
sonal application, to which reference was made the
other day, has drawn forth another complaint from a
correspondent, which shows the inconvenience to which
tradesmen are subjected by having to leave their busi-
ness to receive trifling amounts. He believes that in
many instances the parties would rather leave the
sums altogether than undergo the inconvenience of re-
ceiving them under the present system, which would
cause an increase to the coffers of the Post-office, and
be a premium to defective management. The orders
that he sent to the Post-office were crossed with his
name, and, as the person there cannot be supposed to
imposture
could the applicants, it is hard to see what
could be prevented by this singular species of caution.
At all events, it seems strange that while the mere pre-
sentation of a check at a banker's entitles the bearer to
receive an amount, however large, such difficulty
should be thrown in the way of receiving a few shillings
at the Post-office.

POST.—The fluctuations in the English Funds
were of some importance to-day. Purchases were made
in the course of the morning by some of the leading
brokers, and these, it is understood, were carried to
a very large extent, Consols being quoted, shortly af-
ter the opening, as high u 871. Reports of various

I'4l • .. :" •
j,.
: t mar -e , e effect of which was to bring down the
quotation to 87i. It was stated, among other things,
that news of the British fords in the Levant haw-
! ing suffered in some enterprise or another against
the Riche had been received, and the operations
of a party who are known to be usually in posses-
sion of the pigeon intelligence, " the Boulogne
party," as they arc called, seemed to give counte-
nance to the rumour. A reaction of per cent. oc-
curred before the termination of the business. It was
the last transfer day of the week, and the bulls began
eventually to suspect, as they were, perhaps, quite jus-
tified in doing, that there was in reality nothing what-
ever to justify the show of confidence made by their
opponents. It was pretended that the news, said to
have been received of the failure of the English squa-
dron, in a recent operation, would be confirmed by late
editions of the journals ; but, up to the hour of our
writing, no authentic communication upon the subject
had appeartd. A change is the French Ministry, the
effect of which was to exclude M. Thiers, was likewise
reported to live taken place, hut no credence was given
to the statement.
We mentioned a few weeks since the failure, for a
large amount, of a speculator of the Hebrew connec-
tion, and we did so with great reluctance on account
of the high character of the individual referred to.
Since then a considerable advance has, we are happy to
hear, been made towards a liquidation of his liabilities.
Several of the creditors have, it appears, been paid as
much as fifteen shillings in the pound of the respective
claims for differences arising upon some of the late
I heavy accounts. Others there are, however, who com-
plain that they have, thus far, been overlooked, and
they are naturally apprehensive lest the intention
should be to place them on a less favourable footing.
This we cannot for a moment believe. The defaulter
is a man in whom we have every faith. He is a per-
son of the highest honour, and we are very sure that he
will meet all his engagements with unflinching integrity.

CHRONICLE.—In consequence of the favourable
intelligence said to have been received by the French
Government in its despatches from Alexandria of the
3d instant, the English Funds opened with firmness
this morning at 87f to f, and some large purchases
having been made by leading capitalists, besides 50,0001.
by the Bank broker, prices rapidly advanced to 871
buyers, from which they receded to 87f, at which quo-
tation they stood for some time ; but large sales having
been effected at this quotation, the markets suddenly
gave way to S7i to at whiob they closed. Exche-
quer Bills continue at par to 2s. prem. Bank Stock
has improved 1f per cent., being quoted 160} to 1611.
Various rumours have been circulated to account
for this sudden depression in Consols. One thing
seems certain, that an express had been received
bringing a fall in the French Rentes, and an impor-
tant event is understood to have takes place in
Paris. It was also stated in well-informed quar-
ters, that the reply of the English Cabinet to the
note of M. There expressed a determination to
adhere strictly to the execution of the treaty. Al-
though we have hitherto paid no attention to the ru-
moured movements of the Russian fleet in the Baltic,
further than to express our utter unbelief of the re-
ports in question, we have received the subjoined in-
telligence from so respectable a channel connected
with the Russian trade, that we feel called upon to
give it insertion :
'" The Russian fleet, consisting of twenty-throe sail,
nine of the line, and the rest frigates, sails to-morrow,
part for Copenhagen, and part for Plymouth, to wait
events.

" St. Pctersburgh, Oct. 13."
We understand that the Directors of the Eastern
Counties Railway, at their meeting on Tuesday last,
unanimously resolved to give up the sum of 2,4001.,
voted them tbr their services, and to effect other savings
in the management, so as, without burdening the
Company, to defray the expenaes of some extra im-
provettients in the line.

SUN.—These was a large amount of business to-day in
all thd Funded Securities, but scarcely anything was
dune in the Unfunded Debt. For immediate transfer
Consols realised 871 to 871, and for the Account 87
to 87k. The latest prices were nearly the lowest of
the day. Bank Stock got up to 1601 and 1611, and
India Stock to 243 and 244. The New Three-and-a-
Half per Cents. went as high as 97k, the Reduced
Three-and•a• Half per Cents. to 95,i, and the Three
per Cent. Reduced to 861. Exchequer Bills remained
at par to 2s. premium, and India Bonds at 10s. to 133.
discount. The Hebrews appear to be speculating for a
rise at present.
The Foreign Market was exceedingly dull. Spanish
Active Bonds were a shade better, viz. 211* for Mo-
ney, and 211 to 21* for Time. Portuguese New Five
Five per Cents. were at an advance to 32f, Mexican
Five per Cents. from 261 to 261, Colombian Six per
Cents. at 22 to 221, and Brazilian at 73i. French
Five per Cent. Retntes fluctuated from 106 t. to 108 f.,

Syria. The " non-intervention war" was so called, we
suppose, because it was a war of the most mischievous
intermeddling in the domestic disputes of an independent
nation. As a specimen of analagous abuse of language,
the "insurrection-war" is so called, because it has failed
to produce an insurrection. This, however, was not
Lord Palmerston's fault. He did what he could to create
one. When he sent Napier to Beyrout he thought he
ad only to shower down incendiary proclamations, inte>ti
mingled with bursting shells and congreve rockets, oa the
coast of Palestine, to kindle through Syria the conflagration
of civil war. The "demonstration" has failed, and the Sy-
rians continue provokingly pacific. The result of the
non-intervention war in Spain is the subverted authority
of the Regent Christina, whose power, as well as the
throne of the " innocent Isabel," it was intended to
consolidate. The Regent has fled from her "protec-
tors "--she has left her infant daughter a hostage
among rebels—the greatest rebel of all being that
treacherous General of her forces, whom Queen Vic-
toria, under the advice of Lords Palmerston and Mel-
bourne, lately decorated with the Order of the Bath.
Oh, prostitution of the honours of British knighthood!
Espartero's treason was working towards its consum-
mation when the Ministers of our Queen invested him
with the insignia of a Whig ribandman, and the Dake
of Sussex bedaubed him with fulsome compliments.
To push Christina from her stool of royalty, and
raise an old gasconading but fortunate traitor-General
to the vacant seat, is the splendid and. happy result
which has followed the wicked and wasteful expenditure
of British blood and treasure by our Whig rulers in
Spain. It was for the professed purpose of inducing
British subjects to take up arms fir Christina that our
" peace-loving" Ministers made a one-sided suspension
of the Foreign Enlistment Act, It was to swell the
Christino ranks, and ensure the triumph of the
Cliristinos, that the thousands of unfortunate men, the
victims of Whig deception and Spanish -perfidy, who
constituted what was called the " British Auxiliary
Legion," were transported from the Isle of Dogs to the
Cantabrian coast, under the command of Palmerston's
picked General—the redoubtable Evans, to perish in-
gloriously, or return to their native shores, maimed,
destitute, and in rags, to complain of ihe dishonesty of our
fraudulent ally, and to beg or roil ou the li;ghway tor a
livelihood. What tnisery—whaterime—what disgrace to this
British arms—what dishonour to their country hare
the Whig authors of the Spanish buccaneerng war to
answer for But a Court frit.hle, or a dandy diplo-
matist, like Gailio, " careth for none of these thiogs."
Let Melbourne only be able to keep the place of chid'
dame;, r about the palace, and chief „ester at the. Cloven'e
table, and let Pairnerstou continue to dazzle the world
with his diplomacy, and singe his " H erieu earls" with
the flames of "little wars," and neithepr the one or the
other will feel remorse or shame for any evil or disgrace
which their folly or incapacity may inflict upon the
country. We who from the beginning opposed and
denounced the " non-ieterventiou war" in Spain --we
who contended daily, but contended in ain as
to any practical effect, that the disputed tide to
the throne of Spain was a question totirely for
the Spanish people themselves to deternunc--may
now claim sonic credit for having foreseen, what
the result has proved, that nothing but mischief could
flow from the intermeddling policy of our Government.
And so will it be with the Eastern question. We have
no right whatever to interfere between the Sultan and
Mehemet Ali. Their quarrel is no business of ours,
nor have we any right to coerce either party. The
" propagandism of loyalty," as it has been called, is as
bad as the propagandism of revolution.

(P Two-and-a-Half per Cents, rose from 49 to 49.,
owing to an expected amelioration in the existing sys-
tem of the finances of Holland, under the auspices of
the new Sovereign.
The Railway Shares were not at all brisk, nor were
the quotations firm. Great Western touched 11 to 12i,
and the New 4 premium. London and Birmingham
shares were at 66, Manchester and Leeds at 7, end
South Western at 11j premium. Brighton obtained
13,+ to 12i discount, Blackwall 4i to .5 discount, and
South Eastern 191 to 18-i discount. Naticnal Pro‘in-
cial Bank of England were at 14 discount, and Un;•an
Bank of London at discount.
The Foreign Exchanges were again rather firm. Bills
on Paris were taken at 25f. 424 c. to 473-e., on HamburEh
at 13. 7i to 4, and on Amsterdam at 12. 2.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS

EVENING EDITIONT.

FROM TII MOAMAR PAPERS OF THIS DAT.
(From the Morning Chronicle.)
We have just learned that Sir John Macdonald has
repaired to Brighton Barracks (whither the officers in
Chichester had been summoned to meet him), in order
to read a letter from Lord Hill to the officers of the
I Ith Hussars, recommending, that now that justice has
had its course, they should forget and forgive the past,
and act hereafter as if nothing had happened. This is
really a greater insult than any that has }et been
offered. To all the complaints of the officers against
their Colonel the Horse Guards have hitherto turned a
deaf ear. We stop not to inquire into Lord 11111's
mu Ives for throwing his shield over the Earl of Cardigan.
It may be that Lord Hill felt that he himself was more
in fault than Lord Cardigan in intrust.ing a riginat rat to
a man whom he had shortly before stigmatised and re-
moved from a command, and that a prudent regard for
his own peace led him to the determination of investing
Lord Cardigan with an impunity in which he himseil
lied the deepest interest. In this way, Lord Hill,
[laving done wrong to the service by subjecting gen-
tlemen to the command of one who had already
proved himself unfit for it, may have made up his
mind to a disregard of all the consequences which the
experiment might entail on the unfortunate victims of
it. Bat be this as it may, the fact is that the officers
of the I 1 th were taught by the Horse Guards to
abandon all hope of pi oteetion from that quarter—and
now, when a gentleman, beloved by all who had the
happLess of enjoying his friendship or intimacy, has been
goaded into an act of insubordination, and punished by
a forfeiture of his commission—when to the harsh sen-
tence is added a dictum amounting to this (to borrow
the expressive language of the Standard)—that
" Though an officer be called liar or scoundrel (Lord
Cardigan has called his officers liars)—though he be
cuffed, kicked, or spit upon—though his wife, sister,
or daughter be insulted, he must submit with patience
and humility—must gracefully and respectrully salute
the aggressor, for all this belongs to the established
order of military discipline.' " When insult has been
heaped on insult, Lord Hill, deeming the officers
sufficiently humbled, comes forward, requesting
them to forgive and forget. No, Lord Hill I—the
slave blindly obeys—the gentleman alone can forgive
and forget. You had your option to treat the officers
of the 11th as gentlemen ought to be treated, or to
trample on them ; and you have chosen the latter alter-
native. When the master tells the slave whom he has
lashed that he must forget and forgive, the latter feels
the injunction as a piece of cruel irony. You have de-
graded the English officer by the promulgation of a doc-
trine from which even Mehemet Ali would shrink.
Every gentleman in the English army must feel him-
self lowered in his own estimation by the dictum of
the Court-martial. The men whe promulgated a
doctrine so unworthy of Englishmen, were strangers
" to that subordination of the heart which keeps alive,
even in servitude itself, the spirit of an exalted free-
dom." Lord Hill will learn from the result of this
experiment that the business of time-serving has been
overdone. Had the members of the Court-
martial contented themselves with cashiering
Captain R. A. Reynolds, the public, however harsh
they might have deemed the sentence, might
have acquiesced in it. They might even have given
the members of the Court-martial credit for reluctantly
discharging a duty which they felt to be necessary,
however painful—they might have supposed them to
sympathise with a brave man, who, after having spent
flacon of his best years in the service of his country,
beloved by all who approached him, was strips by
them of his rank and position, for yielding, in a mo-
ment of irritation, to a natural feeling of resentment.
But when the public saw theca—npt.6.esee3,—etsptye
stri4ter - ' •-- ,
lug tto satisfaction with which they had executed
their task, and seizerg with avidity the occasion
to proclaim the excess of their servility—then every
manly bosom swelled with indignation at the un-
worthy spectacle. What was meant for intimidation
produced unconquerable disgust. There is as little
tact as rood feeling in the conduct of the Court-mar-
tial. The obsequiousness of their doctrine, so tar from
benefiting Lord Hill, has brought him in for a share a!
the aversion in which the authors of the doctrine must
be held. No, Lord Hill ; your compassion is now too
late. It will be deemed either a cruel insult to the
brave men to whom eou denied redress, air an attempt
to avert the indignation which cannot fail to be dirceted
against you. The public know nothing of your instru-
ments. They will hold you responsible for all that lies
taken place. The position of Captain R. A. Reynolds
is this day enviable compared with yours. The weight
of the sentence will fall on you. To a man of any feel-
ing, your situation is by no means an enviable one. You
will assuredly neither be forgotten nor forgiven.

We should ill discharge our duty as independent
guardians of the public interest, if we were to pass over
without notice either the fatal accident which occurred
on Saturday last at the terminus of the South-Western
Railway, or the proceedings reported in Wednesday's
Times as having taken place at the Coroner's inquest
held in consequence of that lamentable event. We
have no hesitation in saying, that of the numerous
cases which have fallen under our notice, in which the
lives of our fellow-subjects have been sacrificed or pe-
rilled through the cupidity and carelessness of Railway
Directors and their officials, this is pre-eminently dis-
tinguished by the most flagrant, the most scandalous,
and the most complicated neglect. Without having
recourse to any other source of information
than the proceedings before the Coroner, we
find that, to produce the collision which ter-
minated in the death of Catherine Andrews, there
must have been a concurrence of wilful miscon-
duct, or gross negligence, in almost every de-
' pertinent of the Company's service, through the whole
length of the line between Southampton and London.
In the first place, the half-past one o'clock train left
Southampton for London with a power known to be
insufficient at the time of starting. Markland, the
driver, when asked to account for his delay in arriving
at Vauxhall, answered distinctly, " The cause of our
delay was, first, the want of a pilot engine from South-
ampton. We had fourteen carriages attached." Here,
then, we have an admitted instance of the fraudu-
lent practice exposed in the Time: of Thursday the
15th instant—the Directors entering into an engage-
ment with the public to perform the journey within
a given time, and deliberately and systematically
violating that engagement by despatching with a
single engine trains which they are perfectly well
aware a single engine cannot :punctually convey,
The practice is not fraudulent only, it is also most
dangerous ; for the subsequent trains have their

Winchfield, more than three-quarters of an hour behind
time, it was reinforced by an additional engine, which
proved barely sufficient to prevent a further arrear.
From this point it must have been perfectly certain that
they could not arrive in London more thanes few minutes
before the next succeeding train would become due.
And iet the engineer and guard, who must have known
that, under- these circumstances, a collision, if not
guarded against, was a probable event, continued to
loiter at every station, and suffered night to close in
without taking even the simple precaution of placing a
warning light at the back of their last carriage. The
negligence of the Compeny's officers at the several sta-
tions, between Winchfield anti London especially, was
no less extraordinary and inexcusable. Not only did
they universally neglect to remind the guard of the
earlier train of the duty of placing a light at the back
of his last carriage, but they do not appear anywhere to
have given notice to Welford, the conductor of the
later train, of his dangerous proximity to that which
preceded him.

(From the Morning Post.)
An Evening Newpaper, of which one may fairly say
that on not a few subjects it " draws an its imagination
for its facts and on its memory for its jokes," assures its
readers that the country is on the cr.,: of a great crisis.
Here are the ipsissiiiia vcrba in which the astounding in-
telligence is contained :

" The Horse Guards, though fortified by the Mutiny
Bill, and all the articles of war, will find these of little
avail against the voice of a whole nation. Subseririons
will be raised on behalf of the sufferer ; meetings will be
held, and the subject will ultimately be forced on the at.
tcntion of the Legislature, in a way that will redound little
to the credit of Lord Hill, or his protege, Lord Cardigan.
Out of evil cometh good. The whole system at the Horse

Guards must undergo a scrutiny to which it has not been

subjected since the days of the Duke cf York, and means
be provided for protecting brave and high-spirited men
from treatment that the lowest menial would resent."
So, we are to have a sort of mettle because Captain
Richard Anthony Reynolds was not asked to an even-
ing party at Lord Cardigan's. At this rate we promise
to distance the French. They, do continue to find
out something that looks like a political cause fo: their
escapades ; but in the present case no such cause exists.
We know this beyond all possibility of doubt, because
we have it on the authority of the Globe, which co.nveys
the information railer circuitously, and of the Morning
Chronicle, where it is given in more express terms. " In

eve!), society," says the latter, " no mattur what the
political opinions of the parties are, the seukoce of the
Court-tnartial is spoken of with absoeute execr..tion." But
there is ample proof of this unanitni!y in another form.

induced to think that tlicTe was good foundation for
the ground we took, because of the efforts that

have been daily, and, we venture to think, trisue-
ee,sfully, made to di,lrylp us from cur p, sltion.

We referred to dates which have not been ia!slied. and

we cited events of which the occurrence hAs not been

disproved. la the attacks that lave been miide. on the
view we took there has been a great deal of noise, but

nothing else—in accordance with the prnciplc in pin-
losophy, that violence of sound is in an exact radii with

the body that produces it. To what we have already
urged we have noshing to add. No new bets have

taken place ; our position has been assail d, incited,
but we still hold it though we stand alone—amidst the

daily press at all events, though we have still a valuable
ally in our old friend with the ri,ine cf good omen, .lolin
Bull. We have no choice, therefore, but to leave the

matter where it is, and trust to the returning good sense
of the public for the ultimate triumph of justice. It is
true that for the present the force of numbers is against
us ; but, as the Morning Chronicle has lately disco-
vered, mere numbers arc no criterion of the meritstor
demerits of questions or individuals.

THE BAYEUX TAPESTRY.—This magnificent
piece of work is 227 feet in length by 20 inches in width,
is usually kept at the town-hall in Rouen, and is treasured
as the must precious relic. It was formerly the theme of
some long ana learned dissertations of antiquarian histo-
rians, amongst whom Montfaucon, perhaps. ranks most
conspicuous. During the French Revolution its surren-
der was demanded for the purpose of covering the guns;;
fortunately, however, a priest succeeded in concealing it
until that storm was overpast. Bonaparte better knew Its
value. IC was displayed for some time in Paris, and after-
wards at some seaport towns. M. Dcnon had the charge
of it committed to him by Bonaparte, but it was afterwards
restored to Bayeux. It was at the time of the usurper's
threatened invasion of our country that so much value was
attacac d 0, and so much pains taken to exhibit this roll.
