the paupers shall be employed in digging holes and fill-
ing no agnin, and their maintenance be paid for by the
rate-payers. The money of the rate-payers goes. to buy
potatoes for the paupers, instead of being laid out on
some branch of industry or other for their own behoof; so
that to industry in the aggregate, exclusive of the rate-
payers, there is no difference. Bat there is this most
substantial difference, that the rate-payer gets nothing,
instead of something, for his money. The rate-payer,
therefore, as it needed no conjuror to tell, loses the dif-
ference. And this is the way in which the maintenance
of paupers is a loss to the country, viz. by the
taking of the amount from the rate-payers, through the
intervention ot' their getting nothing for their money,
tnough to industry in the aggregate, exclusive of them,
there is a balance.
If this is true, the dread of allowing paupers to do
anything that may produce an income, is a superstition.
And it is a superstition which is only another form of
the superstition of Protection, consisting in regarding
the outcry of the parries who feel their profits in-
terfered with, without regarding the facts, that there arc
other and equal parties whose profits are raised in the
same degree, and that the further result of the scheme
is to be that a third set are to give their money for
nothing. If this is so, it is a point that must be stuck
to, and carried inch by inch; for the expense of all the
paupers in England and Ireland is not to be gratuitously
thrown upon the rate-payers for a blunder or a whim.
In these days of Free Trade, this is a question which
ought to be worked out to the utmost, and will be.

year pension, in addition to their admiral's half-Pay' re-
duced the active list of full admirals from 30 to 23, and
the removal to the old retired list of admirals of Ad-
mirals Joseph Bullen and George Barker, have brought
the list of admirals within the newly-established number,
27; so that by the new arrangement, not a single pro-
motion has been made to the rank of full admiral.

Curry, C. 8., and Lord Aylmer, C. 8., have accepted the
retiring pensions, and the following have been placed on
the retired list:—Vice-Admirals Buckle, Allen, Noble,
Nesham, White, Praed, Tremlett, Temple, Gordon,
Carden, Impey, H. M. Ommanney, Duff, Sir W.
Proctor, Betsey, Bateman, Lysaght, and Hon. G. L.
Proby. This brought the number down to 25; so that
Rear-Admirals Lord Radstock, C. 8., and the Earl of
Cadogan, C.B.,',have been promoted to the rank of vice-
admiral, to make up the newly-established number, 27.
Of the 75 rear-admirals, Robert Elliot, Esq., and Sir
Thomas Fellowes, C. 8., have been superannuated on the
1501. a year pension; and the following have been placed
on the retired list:— Rear-Admirals Croft, Philips, C.

A. P. Green, G. Ferguson, G. E. Watts, R. R. Worme-
Icy, O'Grady, Lord Byron, J. E. Wemyso, the Duke of

,t we
promotions and 22 retirements reduce the number on the
active list to 51, the established number.

TO MR. G. H. HARIII6, EXHIBITOR'S COM-
MITTEE-ROONI, HOLBORN.
Sir,—l request you to understand that nothing but
the sincere respect which I entertain for the body of ex-
hibitors would have induced me to take the slightest
notice of your letter of yesterday; because having attri-
buted to me language which I never used, and imputed
to me opinions which I never entertained, you have dis-
qualified yourself from being considered as an opponent
who keeps in view the only just end cf all discussion—
truth.
You have assorted " that I have no right to say that
the humble artisan was not 'actuated by as pure a motive
in lodging his handicraft in the Crystal Palace as the
Duke of Devonshire, or any other exalted personage, in
contributing his costly treasures."
Assuredly I have no right to say this, because I never
felt it, never did say it, and never penned a sentence
which could ever bear such a construction. Motives
may be equally pure although widely different, and I
pity that man who does not believe that the artisan,
sending to the Exhibition an article on which he has
employed his time and talent, in the hope of bringing it
under public attention, that he may be better able to
contribute to, the comfort of those he loves, is not ac-
tuated by as pure a motive as can fill the human breast.
Yuu then say, " assume, if you please, that we are all
actuated by the low and grovelling motives you have
attributed to us"—yet this, Sir, is your own assumption
and not mine, for certainly I never attributed either
directly or indirectly " low or grovelling motives" to
any one.
In what school, Sir, you have learnt to apply such
epithets to the British merchant, manufacturer, trades-
man, or artisan, who has sent to the Crystal Palice
" articles in which they deal, and from which they ex-
pect to derive a profit," I neither know ormare, but this
I do know, that you have committed a gross injustice in
imputing to me such a monstrous absurdity.
And you then have the hardihood to say—" reiterate,
if you please, this libel upon your countrymen"—
reiterate indeed! ! Do you know the meaning of the
words you use? Such a libel was never thought of, cer-
tainly never written or spoken, by me; how therefore
can I reiterate it?
As might be expected from a writer who could, either
through sheer ignorance, or a worse motive, resort to
such unworthy means, the rest of your letter hardly re-
quires a reply. You ask, "ifl am really serious in be-
lieving that such men as the Duke of Devonshire and
Mr. Hope deem themselves under an obligation by being
enabled to confer a benefit upon their fellow-creatures
by giving them an opportunity of seeing objects which
will arrest attention, stimulate exertion, and advance the
cause of civiliaetion?"
To which I reply that I am really serious in such
belief, and would be very sorry to entertain any other,
but I am not so unreasonable as to be angry with you
because such obligation is beyond your comprehension.
I decline to accept your assurance " that you must
presume I was actuated by a love of country ' in exhi-
biting Corwar as it:was when purchased, and Corwar as
it is now; for although I am a firm believer in the truth
of the sentiment " that self-love and social is the same,"
yet the man who supposes that he is actuated solely by
the latter motive may possibly be honest, but assuredly
is not wise.
That the reclamation of waste land must sooner or
later become a national question, with the view to the
employment of the people in Scotland and in Ireland, I
sincerely believe, and therefore feel under an obligation
to the Royal Commissioners for the opportunity of show-
ing a mode in which it has been successfully carried into
practical operation.
I am, Sir, your obedient ervant,
RIGBY WASON.
London, July 8, 1851.

SONNET
ON SEEING WYLD'S GREAT GLOBE.
And I have dared to dream of far•off stars,
While questioning Eternity and Space;
Yet here in deep devotion, face to face
With my own strong and mortal prison bars,
I stand, a mighty yet a shrinking thing,
Finding the distance strangely less, yet greater,
Than it e'er seemed between the One Creator
And the untold created. My soul's wing
Seemeth to bear a plume of purer birth
That wafts me nigh to the Immortal Power ;
Yet my own sphere, studded with shell and flower,
Blinds with the dazzling mystery of " Earth."
What art thou? Nature tells, with voice sublime,
One of God's pyramids upon the sands of Time.

DUELLING EXTRAORDINARY.—TWO
foolish clerks,
named Tilt and Romford, quarrelled respecting a young
lady, to whom they were both attached, and a challenge was
the result. A meeting was arranged to take place at nine
o'clock on Saturday evening, in a field near Highgate Ceme-
tery. At the hour appointed, one of the parties did not ap-
pear, and after waiting some time, his second became so an-
noyed at his cowardice, and at the sneers of the other parties,
that he declared himself insulted, and demanded satisfaction.
Of course, a man bearing so chivalrous a name as Tilt could
not refuse a challenge. The paces were duly measured, and
shots interchanged. Tilt's bullet grazed the cheek of the
valorous second, while Tilt's "four-and-nine" was turned
into a " ventilator," by the bullet of his antagonist popping
in just below the crown, and popping out on the other
side. The duellists then shook hands, vowed eternal friend-
ship for each other, with a determination to kick Romford,
from Highgate-hill to Herne-bay,
DESTRUCTION OF A COTTON MILL BY FIRE.—On

the cellar was occupied by Mr. liegginbottom, bobbin turner.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
(Before the RECORDER.)
Robert Young, who was convicted on Monday of
embezzlement, was brought up for judgment, and sen-
tenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for one
year.
Jeremiah William Callan, 22, described as an engineer,
was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury.
Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Chqrnock conducted the pro-
secution; Mr. Ribton appeared for the defendant.
The prosecutor of this indictment was Mr. Joseph
Softlavr, formerly the proprietor of the Bridge House
Hotel, and who at the time of the occurrence was ma-
nager of the London Coffee-house, Ludgata-bill. It will
be remembered from the report of the proceedings at
Guildhall, that the present prosecutor was charged by
the defendant with an odious offence, but upon the
second examination, in consequence of the contradic-
tory statements that were made by the defendant and
a man who came forward es his witness, the falsehood of
the charge became apparent, and it was consequently dis-
missed, and Mr. Sottlaw immediately preferred the pre-
sent indictment. The nature of the case renders it im-
possible to give a detail of the evidence that was ad-
duced, and it will be sufficient to state that it established
in the clearest possible manner the entire groundlessness
of the charge that had originally been made by the de-
fendant.
The jury, without a moment's hesitation, found the
defendant Guilty.
The RECORDER, in passing sentence, said that the
prisoner had been convicted upon the clearest and most
satisfactory evidence—upon evidence which completely
satisfied his mind and also that of the jury—of one of
the worst offences that could possibly be committed. It
was not only an offence against the administration of
justice and truth, but was of the most cruel and reckless
character, for he net only swore falsely, but he did so
to fix a charge upon a man of so heinous and hateful a
character that if he had succeedwd he would have con-
signed him to disgrace and ruin for the rest of his life.
The manner, however, in which the prosecutor had
given his evidence was most satisfactory, and the other
evidence was quite conducive of his innocence, and he
would leave the court without the slightest stain on his
character. After some further remarks upon the atro-
cious nature of the offence, the Learned Judge sentenced
the prisoner to be confined in Newgate for one day, and
then to be transported for seven years, this being, ho
said, the extent of punishment which the law allowed
him to inflict.

NE W COURT.
(Before the Commox SERGEANT.)
Jag Schultz, 23, waiter, was indicted for stealing a
gold watch and chain from the person of Mr. Henry
Howe.
Mr. Ryland prosecuted, and Mr. Ballantine and Mr.
Metcalf defended.
The prosecutor in this case, Mr. Howe, the comedian
of the Ils,yinarket Theatre, said that on the evening of
the 233 of Juno he was at Vauxhall Gardens, and as he
was passing into the Rotunda he felt a pressure against
his breast, and a man like the prisoner, but wearing
moustachios, made away from him. Having a child
with him whom he wished to protect from the crowd,
he did not feel for his watch, which he expected was
gone, until ho got inside, and he there found that his
suspicion was correct. He saw his watch shortly after-
wards in the hands of the police-constable.
Sergeant Goff said that he heard a disturbance near
the barrier where the horses enter the ring; he went
there, and found prisoner in the custody of Hayes. Pri-
soner took a watch from his pocket, and laid it on a
table close by. Witness shortly afterwards discovered
that the watch was the property of Mr. Howe.
Mr. METCALF said the question was, whether pri-
soner's was the hand that took the watch.
The jury, after some deliberation, acquitted the
prisoner.
He was again indicted for stealing a watch and chain
from the person of John Jackson Crossley.
In this case the prosecutor, a country gentleman,
was near the barrier, when he felt a twitch at his
pocket, and instantly saw his watch in the hand of
the prisoner, hanging by the chain. Witness collared
him, when he let it drop, and at the same time had
his (prisoner's) own watch lying on his. He told pro-
secutor ho was a gentleman, and dared him to give him
in custody.
The jury found him Guilty.
There were two other indictments for stealing watches
from other persons in the gardens. He had only that
day come out of prison for attempting to pick pockets at
the Exhibition, and had been committed for a month.
He had also been convicted in this court in 1849.
Sentence, seven years' transportation.

POLICE IN TELLIGENC
WORSHIP-STREET.
Cornelius Upton and Joseph Gutteridge, two decently
dressed youths, were placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold,
charged with having wantonly and maliciously placed a
stone upon the line of the Eastern Counties Railway,
whereby the lives of the passengers travelling thereon
had been seriously endangered.
This was the first case of the kind since the passing of
Lord Campbell's Act, which has just received the Royal
assent, and by which any person convicted of laying
anything upon the rails, or doing anything calculated to
endanger the safety of persons travelling upon any rail-
way, shall be deemed guilty of felony, and liable to a sen-
tenc3 of transportation for life; but in this instance the
company determined to proceed under a milder statute,
the 3d and 4th of Victoria, chap. 97, by the 11th section
of which any personl:guilty of a like offence is deemed
guilty of a misdemeanour, and liable to any term of im-
prisonment not exceeding two years.
Walter Capes, one of the railway guards, stated, that
while proceeding in charge of his engine down the line
of the Blackwell and Woolwich Railway at twelve
o'clock on the preceding day for the purpose of taking a
train of coke to Stratford from one of the sidings on to the
main line, he saw the prisoners stooping down over the
points immediately in front of him, one of which was
drawn oat up Upton, while the other prisoner delibe-
rately dropped some large substance between the tongue
of the point and the rail. The engine was at that mo-
ment in the act of running from the main line on to the
siding the points were attached to, but he fortunately no-
ticed the obstruction in sufficient time to enable him to
warn the driver to stop the engine, which was immedi-
ately done, and on proceeding to the spot and examining
the points he found the large stone now produced firmly
jammed between the tongue of the point and the rail;
and the point was so driven out that, but for
the timely discovery of the wanton act, the
engine must have been inevitably thrown off the
line, and the lives of himself and the driver probably
sacrificed. The instant the prisoners found they
were detected they started off across the adjoining fields,
but were pursued by witness, who speedily overtook
Gutteridge, who, upon being charged with the act.
denied that he had doge it, and said that the offence had
been committed by the'l6.ther prisoner, which the latter
admitted upon being taken into custody some time after-
wards, but alleged that he had placed the stone there at
the instigation of Gutteridge. The witness produced the
stone in question, which was a large piece of flint, of such
dimensions as must have produced the most serious re-
sults, but for its fortunate discovery and removal.
The prisoners declined offering any answer to the
charge, and the depositions having been partially taken
by Mr. Vine, the chief clerk, they were ordered to be
brought up again for their formal completion.
RAMMERSMITH.

TV. Hayes, a watchman in the service of Mr. Alexis
Soya., proprietor of the Universal Symposium, Gore
House, Kensington, was placed at the bar, for examina-

T. Symonds, who provides the establishment with similar
articles.
The prisoner was remanded to Monday next, in order
to have the depositions taken against him.
