OMNIBUS CORRESPONDENCE TICKETS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Your correspondent "C" is unwise to condemn
a system so useful and advantageous to the public as is
the Omnibus Correspondence system, because in the case
he alludes to it was abused by an omnibus conductor.
The London General Omnibus Company have in-
formed the public that they willfully satisfy all;who:have
to complain of the misconduct or insolence of any of
their servants, without loss of time, and free of expense
to the parties complaining.
I may add that great credit is due to the management
of the Omnibus Company for the many improvement 3
they have introduced, and if they go on in the same way
I am sure we shall be well pleased with the success of
the concern.

I am, air,
Your very obedient servant,
AN OMNIBUS TRAVELLER.

London, sth January, 1857.
Sin,—My attention has only just been directed to a
letter appearing in your impression of Saturday, headed
" The New Omnibus Tickets—Caution," in which your
correspondent cited the case of a lady, who, in some irre•
gular manner, was compelled to pay her omnibus fare
twice, on the occasion of a recent journey from Hackney
to the Borough. If your correspondent will furnish mo
with some further particulars of the occurrence in ques-
tion, I shall be happy to investigate it, and afford his
friend redress and satisfaction.

I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

IMPORTATION or GLOVES.—As many as 3,665,733
pairs of gloves were imported into this country from Jae*
to Nov. last.
The Oude Railway Company has issued some expla-
natory statements with reference to a company which
has advertised itself at the Oude Central Railway, in ii
manner to lead the public to infer that it is an original
pr< ject, of which the Oude Company has unfairly con
trived to get the start. It appears that, while the Oude
Company made application to the India-house as early afg
May last, and obtained registration on the 4th of July
,last, the Oude Central merely followed it in both in-
stances. The Oude Company also point out that the
assumption by its imitator of the title of the Oude Cen-
tral is a contravention of the important clause of the
Joint-Stock Companies Act which prohibits any company
from registering " ueder a name identical with that by
which a subsisting company is already registered, or so , i
nearly resembling the same as to be calculated to de-
ceive."—Tintes

THE LATE DR. ÜBE.

Dr. Andrew Ure was borne in Glasgow on the 18th of
May, 1778. He studied at the University of Glasgow, and
subsequently at that of Edinburgh. In the year 1806 he
Was appointed, on the resignation of Dr. Birkbeck, Ander-
sonimi Professor of Chemistry , and Natural Philosophy.
He was at this time engaged in the establishment of the
Glasgow Observatory, where he resided for some time.
and was honoured with a visit from the celebrated Sir W.
Herschel. He was eloquent as a lecturer, and most suc-
cessful in his class experiments. In thi, year 1818 he
brought forward his "New Experimental Researches on
some of the leading doctrines of Caloric, partioularlymn
the'relation between the elasticity, temperature, and latent
heat of different vapours, and on thermometric admeasure-
went and capacity," which was read before the Royal
Society, and published in their " Transactions" for that
year. Mr. Ivory, Mr. Daniell, and other philosophers have
adopted the conclusions offered in this paper as the bases
of their meteorological theories. In 1821 appeared the first
edition of his well-known " Dictionary of Chemistry,"
which procured him the friendship of Sir H. Davy, Dr. Wol-
laston, and Dr. E. D. Clarke. In 1822, appeared his paper
"On the Ultimate Analysis of Vegetable Sabstances" in the
"Philosophical Transactions." In the year 1829 his " Sys.
tem of Geology" was published. In 1835 his Philosophy
of Manufactures" followed, and in the following year his
work on the " Cotton Manufactures of Great Britain," in
two volumes. It was the remark of an eminent machine.
maker and engineer that from. the minute accuracy of
the descriptions and engravings in this work the actual
machines might b 3 manufactured without difficulty. His
next great work was the "Dictionary of Arts, Manufac-
tures, and Mines, "—a work of immense labour and re-
search, the last edition of which appeared in the year '
1852. This work has been ti,:nsiated into the leading con-
tinental languages. Distinguishd as a sound chemical
philosopher, he was no less remarkable for accuracy in che-
mical analysis. It has been asserted, indeed, by competent
authority, that none of his result] have ever been upset.
He became a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1822. He was
one of the original Fellows cf the Geological Society. He
bad also belonged to the Astronomic,' Society, and was a
member of several scientific and continental societies. He
resided in Lend= since the year 1830.

THE IMPERIAL NIIRSE.—" M. tonture has now,"
says a Paris letter in the Emancipation of Brussels ,
" terminated all the preliminary sketches required for
hie picture of the Imperial baptism. In addition to the
four historical portraits at first intended, a fifth has been
added by the command of Louis Napoleon—namely, that
of the nurse of the young Prince. ' This woman is, to
certaina extent, his mother,' said he, `as the people is the
support of our dynasty. It is good that in seeing the
picture of his baptism he should remember that the wife
I of a peasant nourished him with her milk."

SlR,—Your correspondent " C" is unwise to condemn
a system so useful and advantageous to the public as is
the Omnibus Correspondence system, because in the case
he alludes to it was abused by an omnibus conductor.
The London General Omnibus Company have in-
formed the public that they willfully satisfy all;wholhave
to complain of the misconduct or insolence of any of
their servants, without loss of time, and free of expense
to the parties complaining.
I may add that great credit is due to the management
of the Omnibus Company for the many improvements
they have introduced, and if they go on in the same way
I am sure we shall be well pleased with the success of
the concern.

I am, sir,
Your very obedient servant,
AN OMNIBUS TRAVELLER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BUN.

London, sth January, 1857.
SIR,—My attention has only just been directed to a
letter appearing in your impression of Saturday, headed
" The New Omnibus Tickets—Caution," in which your
correspondent cited the case of a lady, who, in some irre-
gular manner, was compelled to pay her omnibus fare
twice, on the occasion of a recent journey from Hackney
to the Borough. If your correspondent will furnish me
with some further particulars of the occurrence in ques-
tion, I shall be happy to, investigate it, and afford his
friend redress and satisfaction.

I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

COLONIAL.

TEA. —The market has ruled very firm, and full prices
have been demanded by holders. The current price for
common congou is 11.(1. per lb. There has also been a
good demand for the finer qualities, at full prices.
SUGAR.—The demand for both colonial and foreign de-
scriptions has been brisk, with every prospect of a continu-
ance. Stocks generally being light, full rates have been
realised for all qualities. In the refined market business
has been active, and the supplies being limited full rates
has e been current for all qualities.
COFFEE.—A further improvement in the demand for
this article has taken place, and native as well as plantation
Ceylon is much wanted, at a slight advance upon previous
quotations. There are large quantities advertised for public
sale during the week.
rIRIGE.—The demand for the lower qualities continues
unabated, and fully former rates are readily obtained.
For the finer descriptions there is a moderate inquiry, at
fair prices,
RUM.—Very little business doing in this article, but
prices are sustained.
TALLOW.—There has been a very firm market, a.n,l
large speculative business has been transacted. P.Y.C.
on the spot, and for spring delivery is quoted 58s 3d to
58a 6d; Australian mutton, 56s to 583 6{l ; beef, 55s to 565;
1 and South American, 55s to 59s per cwt.

SUICIDE AT WOOLWICH.—A frightful occurrence took
place yesterday morning at Woolwich Dockyard. One
of the labourers employed in the chain testing depart-
ment arrived at his place of labour at 7 o'clock a.m.,
and was the first man to whom a ticket was delivered.
He proceeded towards t,he chain wharf, where, standing
between the posts of th ,e marine sentry and the police-
constable on duty, he vtas seen to draw a clasp-knife
deliberately from his pocket, with which he inflicted a
deep wound in the regi,)n of the heart. Immediately
withdrawing the weapon and casting it on the ground,
he plunged head forems it into the Thames. It being
high water at the time th e body was not discovered until
the tide had receded, wh E.:nit was found embedded in the
soil of the river, six houzs and a-half after its immer-
sion. Circumstances wl Lich have been elicited relative
to deceased's state of mind leave no doubt that he was
purely irresponsible for l•lie act. His wife had observed
for some days past that b:s manner was more than ordi-
narily remarkable, and h ad questioned him in the morn-
ing on the subject. The fact of a brother-in-law having
committed self-destruction last week is supposed to have
preyed severely on his in:ind, and probably produced a
relapse of insanity, for which disease be had some time
back suffered confinement; in a lunatic asylum. He has
left a widowandfamily who were solely dependent on him
for support, and who Piro consequently thus rend-red
destitute. The body has been removed to the Royal
Marine Infirmary to aw ait, the coroner
sinquest.

We have received the following most interesting
letter, written by a native functionary, and des-
cribing the state of Indore after the massacre or
flight of the European residents. It would seem
from this statement that Holkar was really loyal in

DISREGARD OF HUMAN LIFE AMONG
THE CHINESE.

John Chinaman places little or no value on
human life—he sacrifices his follow man by whole-
sale, and apparently with the supremest contempt
fir all the arguments urged against capital punish-
ment. Men, women, and children suffer without
distinction, awl on occasions by the score. The
civilisation of the Chinese in this respect is fearfully
uncivilised—far more hideous than cannibalism.
At Hong Kong it is a common spectacle to see the
headless bodies of men who had been decapitated-
either by the mandarins or rebels tied together by
the feet, and cast into the river to save the expense
or trouble of burial. For days they might
be seen drifting to and fro with the tide like
any useless barrel or waterlogged piece of
driftwood—indeed such is the value of life in
Chiea that Mr. Habersham, of the American
navy, who accompanied the North Pacific and Sur-
veying awl Exploring Expedition lately sent out
by the Yankees, informs us, in a work in which he
pleasingly describes what he observed during the
cruise, that it is no uncommon thing for a person
to take tl e place. of the condemned, provided the
latter pays a stipulated sum to the relatives of the
self- offered victim. At Canton our author was in-
duced to accompany several other officers to the
execution-yard, in which it is no exaggeration, he
says, to assert, that heads may he seen weekly—
nay, sometimes daily—to fall by the hundred ; and
he gives us a painfully reveling description of the
horrors ho there witnessed, while the callous exe-
cutioner strides over and among the bleeding
trunks, kicks a human 11.---ad out of his way here,
steps into a pool of blood there, and sweeps his
dripping sword over the head of the next victim.
If so many heads have been ordered to fall, the
heads must be found, and they are accordingly
selected indiscriminat tly, on the principle, we sup-
pos of the first come first served. If the number of
prisoners is not sufficient to satisfy the sanguinary
la ws ofthe Flowery Land—no matter. The deficiency
is soon made up. With the utmost sing froi,l
a company of troops is despatched to seize the first
dozen or 20 countrymen whom fate throws in their
way, and the next morning the ill-st irred lot are
kneeling in the slaughter-yard awaiting the execu-
tioner's attendance. The sooner, perhaps, we could
bring the Chinese—even at the risk of convincing
them against their wills—to see the iniquity of this
bloodthirsty system, the better.
