the captain, in such a passago as that of the Orion, ought
not to be in bed at all.

James Murray, a first-class pilot on the Clyde, said
if a vessel in the merchant service was going near a
coast at night, he was bound to keep on deck, what•
ever might be the weather. During what was called
the :econd mate's watcb, the captain ought not to leave
the dank. _ _ _

James Morrison, also a first-class pilot on the Clyde,
gave evidence to a similar effect.
Captain Park, R.N., commander of the steam-ship
Dasher. knew the Portpatrick coast well. If he was
sailing there at night he would think it right to keep not
further in shore than 200 yards. He certainly did not
think it right for the captain to leave the vessel in charge
of. any other person.
The trial, at seven o'clock, was then adjourned until
Friday.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1850.

The firm and decided, the bold and uncompro-
mising letter .of Lord Jon a. RUSSELL has already
produced the most wholesome and salutary effects
among all classes in the country, while it has elicited
an earnest response from every true Protestant. While
the faithful membcs of the Church of England, the
honest PreshyteriariNgd the sturdy and independent
Dissenter vie with each other in the expression of their
unflinching determination to defend the civil and
religious liberties for which their forefathers so
nobly and so vigorously contended, as well against
the invasion of a foreign potentate as against the aggres-
sion of a domestic enemy—the sincere, conscientious
Roman Catholic feels deep regret at the reckless move-
ment of the Papal Court, which is calculated to re-
vive at a most inopportune period the unfortunate
dissensions and religious animosities that formerly
prevailed, and which were so deeply injurious to the
best interests of his native land. Never was a time
in every respect more infelicitous selected for a
great politico-religious act than that chosen
by the PorE for the assertion of his long-
dormant claims to religious supremacy in
Great; Britain. The penal code, that foul blot on
the national escutcheon, had long been erased from
our statute-book. The utmost degree of civil and re-
ligious freedom was conceded to our Roman Catholic
brethren. Not only was the widest, the most liberal
toleration, extended to the professors of that creed, but
they were placed on a footing of perfect equality
with their Protestant fellow-subjects. This
was not only just and equitable in itself ;
fur we still maintain, as we have ever strenu-
ously asserted, the gross impropriety of every
religious disqualification, of every interference between
a man and his CREATOR, whom he should be at liberty
to worship in the mode which, in his soul and con-

INQUEST ON THE BODY OF LADY
CARDEN.

An inquest was held on the body of this ill-fated
and deeply-regretted lady, by the coroner for the
county of Tipperary.
Warner Carden, Esq. (brother to Sir John C.
Carden), sworn—Sir John and witness had been out
shooting. On their return to the Priory, at half-
past three o'clock, met Lady Carden and her two
children in front of the house. There was a round
seat, in the centre of which a tree was growing,
opposite the front of the house. Sir John and
witness sat on one side, taking a child each on their
knee. Lady Carden sat on the other side. After
having sat for ten minutes, heard the report of a
rifle gun, which was leaning against a tree. On
looking to the other side of the seat saw Lady Car-
den lying dead on the grass. The rifle gun was
the gun which Sir John had been shooting with
previously. Witness was shooting with a double-
barrelled gun. Was on a visit to the Priory.
Dr. Forsayeth, having been sworn, said the death
of Lady Carden was caused by a rifle ball entering
the head immediately under the left ear, and passing
through the brain. He extracted the ball, which lay
immediately under the skin on the right side of the
head.

The jury returned a verdict of" Accidental death."
It is believed that when the gun was resting against
the tree it was blown down by the wind, which
caused its discharge..
The above lady was sister to Mr. Milner, M.P. for
the city of York, and was closely related to the Duke
of Portland, the Earl of Leitrim, and other members
of the nobility. Her Ladyship was not more than
27 years of age, having been married to Sir John
Carden in 1844. Lady Carden was the daughter of
Sir William Mordaunt Sturt Milner, Bart., of Nun-
appleton, in the county of York.

ORDNANCE SURVEY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—The Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers
are about to confirm their order for very extensive
works. I beg therefore to suggest that the survey
and levels supplied by the Ordnance should at once be
tested before the survey be paid for by the commis-
sion.

We heard much of "infallible tests" to which the
survey was to be subjected, but I have already ob-
served inaccuracies, and I therefore suggest that a
practical test be applied forthwith.—l remain, Sir,
your obedient servant, LEWIS C. HERTSLET.

—The prisoner John Warren, who has several times been
under examination before the Leeds magistrates, was again
arraigned on Monday, charged with several serious post-
office robberies. The evidence against the prisoner was
considered so conclusive that the magistrates committed him
to York Castle for trial at the next assizes. The woman,
Hannah Leonard, who has also been in custody, was dis-
charged.

The crew of the Turkish frigate ifizaty Zafir were
exercised at great gun exercise and smallarm and cut-
lass practice. They went through all the rnanceuvres
of priming, loading, and firing three times within the
minute, and the captain stated they could fire their
great guns twice in that space of time. The Vic-
tory's apprentices fire three times in 40 seconds;
twice in a minute for the Turks is not bad work.
The Orientals are very hospitable and polite to all
visitors. They were entertained at a soirée daniante

It is said that Prussia has yielded to the Austrian
ultimatum, and consented to evacuate Hesse in eight
days, and Hamburgh and Baden in six weeks. It,
was reported at Hanau that both the Bavarian and
Austrian troops were to evacuate the Electorate.
The Duke of Coburg- Gotha has arrived at Berlin
with the news that 14,000 Austrians have occupied the
frontiers of his country.
From the statements contained in the German
priers it a2pears that the meeting of the Austrian
generals at Vienna is not only for the purpose of a
military consultrition, bat that this meeting has
been call€d on for the special purpose of obtaining
the assent of the generals to an intended suspension
of the Charter of the Constitution of the 4th of March,

rence dividend at 4 per cent., it is not expected that
there will be any opposition to this measure, especially
as it involves no addition to the already authorised

GLOUCESTER, ABERSYT WITH, AND CENTRAL WALE!.
—On Saturday, before his Honour the Master in
Chancery Tinney, Messrs. Hill and Everill intimated
their willingness to give the books and papers con-
nected with this company, to enable Mr. Wryghte,
the official manager, to wind it up, provided their re-
tainer as solicitors to the company was admitted, and
the amount due to them (5,0001.), when ascertained
by taxation, paid them out of the first funds under the
estate received by the official manager. It was con-
tended that the official manager ought to be in posses-
sion of all the papers, and that the schedule did not
contain correspondence between Messrs. Hill and
Everill and their agents, regarding sums the company
had ' paid or would have to pay, and which would be
necessary to a fair settlement of affairs. Mr. Wryghte
informed the Master that the object of winding up,
besides paying off outstanding debts, was to know bow
40,0001. received by way of deposit had been disposed
of by the directors. The petitioner was the Hon. F.

dered a call of W. 15s. per share on all the contri-

who did not pay the first deposit on their shares.
DIRECT WEST END AND CROYDON.—On Friday his
Honour the Master in Chancery Tinney gave his di-
rections to Mr. H. Harris, solicitor to the official
manager, relative to the final settlement of the list of
provisional committeemen in this company. After
reviewing all the previous decisions, his Honour
struck off the list upwards of twenty-two of those
provisional committeemen who had neither acted nor
taken shares, though they had paid money on account
of claims, in conformity with the decision of the
House of Lords, but retained on the list all those
who took shares, in accordance with the same decision.

LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1850.

The Parliamentary session of 1850, which is now
rapidly drawing to its conclusion, may be regarded as
a period of large promise and but scant performance.
Never, indeed, was the distinction between " sayings
and doings" more clearly illustrated. Sanguine ex-
peetwions were entertained as to the numerous and
much required ameliorations that would be intro-
duced and carried by her MkJISTY'S Ministers, and
never were anxious hopes more signally disappointed.
One by one have the most valuable measures been
postponed to some "future opportunity." One
day, the Lord Lieutenancy Abolition Bill was
thrown over, the next the Jewish Disabilities
was sacrificed without a murmur. In like manner,
we are left totally in the dark as to the Ministerial
intentions with respect to the contemplated separation
of the poli ical and judicial functions of the Lord
High Cnancellor of England. Subjects that had
been introduced with loud and continued flourishes of
trumpets, and much self-gratulation, were either
passed over sub silentio or relinquished with a brief
expression of regret, and a half promise that they
would be considered " next session." It would be im-
pcssible to notice within the space of a single article
the various matters, some of the deepest and most vital
importance, that were thus disposed of. The Irish
remedial measures shared the general fate. Our un-
fortunate brethren at the other side of St. George's

The Minister of the Interior of Florence has ad-
dressed a circular to all the prefects of the Grand
Duchy of Tuscany, enjoining them to be very
sparing in granting leave of absence to public

the case now stands, a contagion peculiar to that
class of persons would seem to have brnken out
among them."
