in which the vessel in id been worked, and the constant
danger to which pass engers wore exposed. The mode
adopted by the engine( ,r for act I.elerating the speed of the
vessel was to overload . the safe ty valves by attaching two
cords which he fastened und, tr the deck, thereby pre-
venting the steam to escape, • and on one occasion there
being no less than 400 pers( )ns on board. Applicant
observed to him that the : stays of the boiler were
strained by such means, it be ing then in a very defective
state, but he was not. only disregarded, but also dis-
missed from his situfAtion. He had known when there
were 90lb. of steam upon eves 7/ square inch of the boiler,
and even 1201 b., when ' Tom ' was lying in a state of in-
toxication with the doors fastened, and no means of getting
to the cords to let the steam es cape, as he could prove on the
I inquest."

powerful than Pius IX., and M. Metternich, who is well
aware of the fact, ought to reflect before he causes a
general conflagration throughout Italy. Behold the peace
of the world compromised by the irritability of an old
man, exasperated
,by the progress of liberal ideas in
Italy. During the last year the kindness, moderation,
and patience of the Pope have been abused, and Austria
did not allow a day to pass over without wounding his
feelings; but the cup of bitterness is now exhausted,
and I do not think he will consent to swallow it to the
very dregs. Since the last events of Rome the Sacred
College is animated with better sentiments, and is de-
termined to support the Pope. This change will disap-
point Austria, as did the discovery of the horrid machina-
tion on the point of exploding, and at the very moment
she was about to reap its sanguinary fruit. But Pro-
vidence, who watched over Rome during the last year, will
again cover it with her aegis. We have been assured that
English ships will shortly appear in the Adriatic, and
that an order to that effect has been forwarded to the
British Admiral from Ancona. We trust that the
French flag will not suffer itself to be anticipated
in the defence of the Sovereign Pontiff. M. Guizot
openly proclaimed it in his last speech, and we rely on his
word. If the English join us, so much the better; a
cordial understanding in the Adriatic, at least, will suffice
to drive back the Austrians without endangering the
existence of peace. Reprisals and occupations are un-
available; they would, besides, afford the Austrians a
pretext for retaining what they now hold, and which it
i* of importance to recover from them as soon as possible.
It is by a vigorous European protest that this unpleasant
matter should be settled, and that the independence and
integrity of the Pope's States, guaranteed by treaties,
should be secured to him."

your Monarch, and the fruit of your demoralising
principles.' The Revolutionists, the natural enemies of
royal authority, see with pleasure the degradation of the
throne. They collect all the scandalous tales related of
the palace, of which they express doubts skilfully
arranged. They flatter all the caprices of the Queen,
and humble themselves before the overbearing vanity
of General Serrano, hoping thus to destroy in public the
prestige of the throne, against which their most desperate
attempts and their most vigorous arguments had
hitherto failed."

After stating that General NARVAEZ has set out
for Madrid the Presse continues :
" General NARVAEZ has been called on to resolve in
a clear, decided, and definitive manner, the Palace
question, which is par excellence the Spanish ques-
tion, and the complication of which may perhaps
break the vacillating equilibrium of the European
states. It remains to be known to what a point the
Moderado party and General NaavAEz may resolve
this question, what is the influence of foreign diplo-
macy, and what are the principal eventual ties that
may arise. General NARVAEZ, unless the Court of
Spain be not irremediably struck with folly, will
probably be listened to, because he unites the moral
strength of a party to the physical strength of the
army. He is going to express the painful impression
produced in the country by the scandals of the palace.
If General NARVAEZ conducts himself with firmness,
all will yield, for the moment at least, to his desires.
General SERRANO will withdraw from Madrid—the
KING will return to the Palace—the Progressists will
find themselves reduced to their old expedient of con-
spiracies—a new Moderado Cabinet will be formed—
time will be gained, but the question will not be re-
solved. Spain will be placed in a grave incertitude to
know what use will be made of the royal prerogatives ;
that incertitude will maintain a state of agitation, which
foreign intrigues will not fail to turn to account.
We must consequently expect to behold the conspira-
cies of parties recommenced. The Government of
General NARVAEZ will therefore be forcedly a Go-
vernment of struggle in the Palace, in the Cortes, and
perhaps in the streets. It will be a Government of
force. England will not fail to profit by that situa-
tion. In accord with the revolutionists it will excite
antipathies, will turn to account the rancour of the
royal house, until the Palace question again presents
itself more difficult, more dangerous, and more in-
solvable than ever. England is going on with her
endeavours to dissolve the QUEEN'S marriage, to bring
about the divorce, and the annulling of the rights of
the Duchess DE MOISPENSIEE, with that persevering
and headstrong obstinacy which she brings to
every one of her undertakings. Mistress of Por-
tugal, having in her hand Count DE MONTEMOLIN,
having at her disposal the Carlist and revolu-
tionary guerillas, and above all the elements of
disunion which reign in the Royal Family, it is
not difficult to comprehend that it will be easy
for her to raise up on any given day embarrassments,
which the ascendancy of Gen. NARVAEZ may remove
for the moment. England has proposed to herself to
destroy at any price the work of France. To arrive
at that end, she wants discord in the Palace, revolu-
tion in the streets, civil war, and anarchy. There,
and not elsewhere, is to be found the secret of the
revolution of Portugal, and of that intervention in
which we have so unwisely aided. If, in order to
arrive at her end, the last extremities were required,
Europe knows that the English Cabinet would not
hesitate to support the pretensions of Count DE MON-
TEMOLIN, SO that to a certain point the cause of Eng-
land is the same as that of the Absolutist powers. To
recapitulate—it is probable that the influence of Gen.
NARVAEZ will produce a moment of pause in the
question of Spain ; we do not, however, deem this
influence by itself sufficient to resolve it definitively.
The Palace question, such as it is, such in particular
as England will make it before long, is a European
question, of which the consequences are immense, and
which, abandoned to the hazards of a civil war, or to
the Machiavelism of a diplomatic intrigue, may again
place Europe in the position in which it was thrown
by the succession of CHARLES II."

Without further.evidence • than that of a discharged
servant, who might, from a feeling of jealousy or
exasperation enter similar c ;harges against his former
employer, we are not prepared to accept these
assertions of EDWARDS as 'conclusive. They are, how-
ever, of so serious a char acter that they imperatively
demand investigation. Li proved to be correct, we
trust that the guilty pa;,•ties will meet `with the pu-
nishment to which they will be eminently entitled.
As it is, the proprietors of locomotive engines are
liable to enormous penalties in the event of fatal
accidents from explosions or otherwise. Now
that the custom of inflicting a deodand upon
the instrument of destruction has fallen into
desuetude, and that the survivors of the per-
sons destroyed can recover damages for their de-
struction, the people pos:sess a better guarantee for
the safety of their lives ; and whenever accidents
occur of this appalling kind it becomes doubly neces-
sary to discover the innocence or the culpability of all
the parties concerned.
Whatever may be the ultimate result of the in-
quiries into the explosion on board the Cricket, it is
certain that a new and most favourable argument is
afforded to the advocates for a speedy adjustment of
the Thames Conservancy question. The commerce of
the island requires that its principal inlet should
be relieved from all impediments ; the health of those
residing along the banks of the river demands the
purification of its waters and its purlieus ; the im-
provement of the metropolis renders the removal of
many unsightly structures necessary ; and the pre-
servation of the many thousands who daily pass to
and fro upon " the silent highway" can only be
ensured by a duly organized body of inspectors and
guardians.

The question of repudiation is now openly agitated
in many parts of Ireland, and society appears to be
divided into sections, consisting of those who acknow-
ledge their liability and the justice of the claim made
on them to refund the sums advanced from the na-
tional Exchequer in the dark hour of danger and dis -
tress, but who urge the impossibility of their present
compliance, and desire that time should be afforded
for the gradual liquidation of the demand by easy in-
stalments; and also of others, who desire that all ap-
plications for repayment should be met by a peremp-
tory refusal, and, that every attempt to enforce the de-
mand should be followed by an organized and general
resistance, such as that which was, some thirteen or
ourteen years ago, opposed to the collection of tithe
composition, and which occasioned such fearful dis-
turbances throughout the entire country at that period.
The circumstances of the cases are, however, widely
lifferent, and it is impossible to conceive that
a similar line of conduct should be pursued in the
present instance, or, even if attempted, that it could
possibly prove successful against the power of the
Government. Any person in at all a solvent posi-
tion, whose property is not overwhelmed with the
amount of the debts and incumbrances affecting it,
would hesitate to involve himself in a contest the
issue of which must inevitably be ruinous to his for-
tunes ; for he might be well assured that although
some of the minor fry might possibly be suffered
to escape, his property would be sold for the liquda-
dion of the debt, under the extensive powers granted
by the statute authorising the advances. The oppo-
nents of tithes bad only isolated individuals to deal
with, who were unable, in many instances, to obtain
their legal rights from want of funds to carry on
the necessary proceedings, or from want of power
co enforce the judgment of the court, after they had
.thtained a decree in their favour. Neither
these impediments would, however, stand in the
way of the Executive ; every case would he vigorously
and efficiently followed up, and should there by a
possibility be a successful defence, the parties would
not reap the fruit thereof, for no coals could be reco-
vered from the Crown. Again, when a decree was
obtained, all the military and police force in the dis-
trict would be available to prevent any breach of the
peace, or intimidation, obstructing the sale under the
fieri facial, or extent, whether the stock on the lands,
or the lands themselves, were offered for the satisfac-
tion thereof.

The Prince DE JoINvILLE, who continues very ill,
has gone to St. Cloud, for the benefit of his health.
He will be joined their by the Royal Family on
Saturday or Sunday.
We read in the Moniteur Parisien:—

" Several journals, in announcing that an investiga-
tion, commenced with respect to a person employed in
the war department, bad been followed by his arrest,
relate different reports as to the nature and circum-
stances of the affair. What is true is that an investiga-
tion commenced at Amiens, in consequence of reports
sent in to the Minister of War and the Minister of Jus-
tice, brought to light such probabilities of proof against
a clerk named Lasalle, that a warrant was issued to
arrest him, and that it has been executed. The affair
being in a course of investigation not only in France but
in Algiers, where it was necessary to obtain information
relative to mutations of ministerial offices which took

moreinquiraymshall become public, it will be seen, that in this
circumstance also the Government has not waited to be
applied to, to direct the attention of the law authorities
to the affair, and to seek out the truth."

Having thus shown the hopelessness of any such
contest, we would anxiously desire that any possi-
bility of such a result should be set aside. The total
amount of the claims on every district are now well
known, and the means of repayment can be calculated
with sufficient accuracy to enable the authorities to
form a correct judgment as to what would be a rea-
sonable time to allow for the payment of the whole,
and when the first instalment should be called for.
New claims are now for the first time authorised.
The gigantic assistance afforded by the Government
has just been withdrawn in almost every part of the
country, while within a few weeks, we might almost
say days, it must cease in even the most impoverished
districts. An onerous duty is necessarily imposed
upon a class who, not being fully aware of the real
weight of the burden, and not yet having brought
into operation the means by which that burden may
be reduced, or even practically annihilated, will have
a serious struggle to provide for the mass of misery
and destitution, the myriads of houseless and starving
wretches, for whose maintenance and support they,
for the first time, are made responsible. We doubt
not their ability to do so. The favourable pros-
pects of the harvest, the cheering reports of the
cereal products in every quarter of the country,
justify the announcement that there is no longer any
danger of a deficient crop, or that scenes of distress,
similar to those which took place during the past
year, may be re-enacted. An arduous struggle may,
however, be necessary to enable the proprietors of the
soil to keep their heads above water, which will be the
more formidable, because its full extent cannot be at
present known or appreciated. It would be unwise
on the part of Government, although in strict justice
they might be warranted in so doing, to enforce their
demands to the utmost farthing, and thus to deprive
many of the power of performing all that is required
from them. It might occasion the necessity of
further assistance from the National Exchequer
to localities where the landowners would be over-
whelmed with the weight of their responsibilities,
and in the long run might prove to be bad
economy, entailing losses and expenses that would
he avoided by a more indulgent and moderate course.
ft is, however, exceedingly desirable that all agita-
tion on the subject should be terminated as speedily
as possible. It should be announced on un-
doubted authority that in every instance the payment
of the full moiety of the expenditure would be
strictly and rigidly enforced, even if the sale of the
property and a change of owners was thereby ren-
dered necessary. The number of the instalments
and the time when the first payment will be de-
manded should also be announced ; these may vary
according to circumstances, the period for the liqui-
dation of the entire demand being in no case ex-
ended beyond ten years, and the terms thus an-
nounced should be strictly adhered to and enforced
by all the power of the law. By these means the
agitation may be got rid of; but if it is suffered to go
en, and a regular organization should take place,
although there can be no doubt as to the ultimate
result, or as to which side will be victorious, much
suffering and demoralization will take place which
would be avoided by prompt and decided measures.

Another reform banquet took place at Pontoise on
the 22d, on the occasion of an assembly of the electors
to entertain their Deputy, M. BERVILLE. The KING'S

on and after the 21st of September next.
" The amount of iron ore and other merchandise car-
ried during the last six months has equalled your di-
rectors' anticipations, as have also the receipts from the
passenger traffic, under the circumstances which have
attended it ; and its recommencement on the 24th of
May. Your directors have anticipated the opening of
Piel Pier at that time, and the working of it in con-
nexion with the Rampside Branch of the Railway,
which, in all probability, have increased the receipts, in
respect of the passenger traffic.
" Your directors have to report the completion of the
second train of rails between Dalton and Rampside
Junction, mentioned in their report submitted to the
meeting on the 27th of February last, and this addition
has materially contributed to the efficient and satisfac-
tory working of the line.
" Mr. M`Lean reports the general state of the works
is in every respect satisfactory ; the progress made by
the contractors on the extension line to Broughton is
also satisfactory. The works are in a very forward
state, and it is expected that the railway will be ready
for opening before Christmas, the time fixed by the con-
tract for the completion of this line.

The total receipts of the company since its forma-
tion had been 177,2211. 03. id., the expenditure,
171,9451. Bs. 4d., leaving a balance in hand, available
for the payment of dividends, of the sum of

A resolution for the adoption of the report was
then unanimously agreed to, as was a resolution de-
claring the dividend, and another authorizing the
raising a loan of 33,600/.
A vote of thanks was then given to the chairman,
and the meeting broke up.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool, yesterd*y, was with-
out change, the sales being 3,500 to 4,000 bales. The
market was steady. The trade were the chief buyers.
shares were improving, and a fair business was done at
rather higher prices.
The features in the Bank of England statement of
liabilities and assets for the week to the 21st instant, are
these

We see restriction pourtrayed to a fuller extent in
this weekly statement than in the last. There is the
evidence, on the one hand, of the " pinch" for money
among the public generally, and hence the diminution
of the balances represented by other deposits. Then
we have the curtailment of discounts and loans by the
Bank, as shown by the lessened amount of other secu-
rities; and if further or more general proof were want.
ing, we see it in the declining amount of the note cir-
culation. To meet this, the Bank has taken a larger
amount of notes for its reserve, being unable yet to check
the demand upon it for bullion, though probably this
will gradually be accomplished; and presuming that the
brunt of the corn pressure is considered to have been
borne, perhaps the Bank will afford some relief.
There are several ship arrivals, but the dates are but
a few days later generally. The accounts of June 16th
from the Cape of Good Hope intimate that the Kafirs
were still troublesome ; and from Sydney, under date of
the 31st March, we learn that the proposed land regula-
tions were considered satisfactory in most respects,
though erroneous in fixing the minimum price of wild
land at 1/. per acre. No purchases of land in the
interior can be expected at such a rate.
The intelligence of July 15 from Monte Video seems
to decide the fate of that place, and its early surrender,
now we appear to have abandoned it to its fate, is con-
fidently predicted. The Rattler brings scarcely a letter
to our merchants from Rio do Janeiro.
