The racing this afternoon, if not so prolific of Pro-
duce and other valuable Stakes as on Tuesday, lacked
neither quantity nor attraction, and in one event—the
Goodwood Stakes— gave full scope for the talents and
industry of the book-makers, less so perhaps than usual,.
but enough, to create excitement, and make it, as a bet--
ting race, -the principal feature of the meeting. The
Stewards' cup, a rich and beautifully executed record
of an affecting incident in the life of Prince-Llewellyn,
was also the source of a good deal of speculation ; but
from the superior importance of "the Stakes," and the
non-publication 'of the weights until late on Tuesday
evening, was not touched upon until the numbers of the
respective starters were telegraphed. It brought out a
field worthy of the subject, and of the popular steward-
ship from whence it was derived. The Queen's Plate,
the Cowdray Stakes, the Matches, and an abundance of
heats, served to make another long day of it, and to in-
crease-the general regret that such varied and excellent
'sport should have been witnessed- by a company that,
however fashionable, was deficient in numbers. The
weather, although boisterOus, was fivourable ; the

Yekerday, at Trentham, Staffordshire, the Marquis of
Lorn, son of the Duke and Duchess of Argyll, led to the altar
the j youthful and lovely Lady Elizabeth Gower, eldest
daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland. The in-
teresting- ceremony was performed by the venerable Arch-
bishop of York. There were present besides the Archbishop
the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, and the bride's brothers
and 'sisters—namely, Lady Caroline and Lady Constance
Gower, the Marquis of Stafford and Lord Francis Gower;
Lord and Lady Blantvre, Viscount Morpeth, Lady Mary
Howard, Lady Dover, Visconnt Clifden, the Hon. Miss Agar

from attending by the illness of their daughter.
The happy event called forth much joy and strong public
demonstrations in the neighbourhood, among all classes.
There was a large dinner to the tenants and friends at the
Trentham lim, and another at Newcastle-under-Lyme, con-
sisting of the gentlemen and tradesmen of the town and
vicinity. Nor were the scholars of the public schools or the

This Office is provided with very accurately constructed tables,
by which it can assure unsound lives on equitable terms.
Similar tables enable the Society to grant increased annuities on
unsound lives, the amount varying with the particular disease.
Members of consumptive families assured at equitable rates.
Healthy lives are assured on lower terns than at most ether
offices.

The first Life Assurance Society eommenced business in 1705,
and the principles of life contingencies, understood at that time to
a very limited extent only, have repeatedly undergone important
changes and improvements; but till the establishment of this So-
ciety in 1841 no attempt had ever been made to assure the lives of
persona who suffer from disease.
The science of statistics has only within a recent period been
successfully applied to the duration and mortality of disease, and
hence tables on the probability of these results could not have been
formed ; and it would evidently have been unsafe and hazardous
for any society to have undertaken the risk of assuring the lives of
persons afflicted with any particular malady. The statistical in-
formation, however, now collected, .and in possession of this office,
is of so great an extent as fully to warrant the extension of life
assurance to such cases, and, in fact, to place the application of life
assurance on diseased lives on a more secure basis than even that
on healthy lives.
It is hoped that while kept clearly in view that this Society, in
common with other offices, will assure the lives of healthy persons,
it is as yet the only one established to assure the lives of persons
labouring under disease; and to this latter feature particular atten-
tion is directed.

In the first place, because it opens a larger field for business than
all other offices can have unitedly ; and in the
Second place, because that branch of assurance must, from its
own nature, be less hazardous, and its principles rest on a more
permanent foundation.
These are two highly important facts, and we shall enter into an
explanation of each ; and first, as to the prevalence of disease.
The period of life most important to an assurance office is that be.
tween 15-60 years of age, and in the following remarks we refer
exclusively to this period of life.
It will be found that the deaths in the metropolis for the two
years preceding 1842 were, from all causes, 30,518 ; and from
consumption alone, 10,688 ; showing that mere than one.third of
the total deaths in that period of life takes place from the preva.
lence of a single disease ; and if the same inquiry were instituted
with respect to other diseases, such as asthma, dropsy, diseases of
the head, heart, tec., it would be found that more than one-half
of the whole population would, on medical examination, be refused
admission into an assurance office. If the inquiry be carried to
the principal towns in England, like facts are elicited—ln Bir-
mingham, Liverpool and Manchester, the deaths from all causes,
per annum, are about 5,023, while those from consumption are
1,988, forming considerably more than one-third of the whole. The
Caine thing will be found to hokl , good in the large towns in Scot-
land, in six of which the deaths in a given period, from all causes,
amounted to 23,078, those from consumption alone to 6,359, and
from six important diseases, 9,754 ; in the latter case forming more
than 42 per cent. of the deaths from all causes. On reference to
the returns from the city of Glasgow for 1836-1840 It will be
found that the deaths in that period, from all causes, were 14,107,
from consumption 4,087, and a list of five diseases, 6,423, being
more than 45 per cent. of the deaths from all causes.

The diseases here alluded to are such as exist in general in a
chronic form, frequently for many years prior to death, but which,
en a strict medical examination, would effectually exclude the
persons so affected from the benefits of life assurance ; and since
it thus appears that a majority of the population is included in this
class, the value and importance of the new feature of this society
cannot fail to be justly appreciated.
The second po:nt to be explained is the fact that there is
much less risk in assuring diseased lives. This is a feature of
paramount and vital importance to the interests of this society, and
deserves to Ise carefully considered.
The real risk incurred in all assurance transactions consists in
the chance to which an office is liable of experiencing a different
degree of mortality from that expected by the tabjes on which its
caculations are founded. This difference is termed the fluctuation
of mortality, and will be found to be much less among diseased
lives than over the general population, and among selected lives.
The deaths from consumption in the metropolis per annum are
sufficiently near the annual number which takes place in Glasgow,
from all causes, to admit of a comparison, and by reducing the
matter to figures it is found that while the fluctuation per annum
in the latter case is as high as 45 per cent., in the former it is only
9 per cent., or, in other words, the fluctuation of mortality in
consumption was only one-fifth of the other; and in Manchester,
Liverpool, and Birmingham, even with the disadvantage of
smaller numbers, the fluctuation does not exceed 3 per cent.,
showing a remarkable uniformity in the law which determines the
mortality of this disease, and that it is more positive and absolute
in its results than that which regulates the general population.
Consumption has here been selected, not because it was consi.
dered more favourable in its results, but simply on account of the
larger numbers affording a more satisfactory proof of the question
under consideration; but the same test has been app.ied to a great
number of other diseases, and like results obtained. Among nine
diseases in the metropolis, including asthma, dropsy, rheumatism,
disease of the liver, of the heart, of the nervous system, &c., the
fluctuation was only 74 per cet,t., and in live diseases in a different
district the fluctuation was about 7 per cent., while among eleven
in another locality, and even with small numbers, the fluctuation
did not exceed 6.2 per cent. ; and taking the principal towns in
England, including Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds,
Sheffield, &c., the fluctuation over eleven of tie more important
diseases was 6,1 per cent.

RIDING HABlTS.—Ladies are invited to in-
spect those made by Messrs. NICOLL, Habit-makers to the
Queen and most of the Ladies of the Court.
Cards may be had at 114, Regent-street, London.
Messrs. Nicoll offer moderate prices, as a further inducement to a
orrect fitting habit,

The remarkable uniformity in these results cannot fail to pro.
duce a conviction of the positive character of the law of mortality
in disease; indeed, there seems to be nothing within the whole
range of the doctrine of probabilities so well defined as the mor.
tality of diseased lives. The mortality of the general population
has frequently been referred to by writers as an example of the cer-
tainty of common events, but the preceding remarks must show with
how much greater certainty the mortality of diseased lives can be
depended on.

It is perhaps right to state, that, in applying the test of
fluctuation to disease, it has not been confined to one place or
class of lives, but has been extended to the principal towns in
England and Scotland, as well as t. many rural districts in Eng-
land, and included the experience e one or two large societies of
select lives. This has afforded an opportunity of judging of the
effects of locality and its sanatory condition en the duration of

life, and a remarkable fact has thus been developed, viz.,
that the value of life generally is much greater in the coun.
try districts than in large cities; but that of those persons
who suffer from disease the value of life is nearly the same. As
an example of this--the expectation at the age of 30 in the country
districts is 36.7 years; in cities (viz., Glasgow) 27.6 years—diffe-
rence 33 per cont. nearly; but take the case of persons of that
age in whom the consumptive tendency is developed, and who will
ultimately die of consumption, and their expectation of life in the
counties of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, will be found to be 14'5,
in cities (Glasgow) 14'4, and in the metropolis, Manchester, Bir-
mingham, 13'9 ; difference 'Ol7 per cent. (or 1.57 per cent.) It
therefore appears that while the difference between country and
town life in the former case is about 33 per cent., that in the latter
instance (consumption) the difference is almost nothing, and the
results nearly uniform. The same thing holds good with some
other diseases, which have been investigated in this manner. This
fact, although not generally understood, is only what might have
been expected by a careful consideration of the conclusion formerly
arrived at—that the fluctuation of the law of mortality in disease
is confined within a very narrow limit, and consequently little in-
fluenced by external circumstances.
It hence appears that the fluctuation in the mortality of diseased
lives is much less than among select lives and the population gene.
rally, and therefore the risk of assuring diseased lives must also be
less.

To apply this conclusion to the affairs of an assurance cffice, it
i
may be stated, that supposing the number of lives n a society,
taking only select lives, was such that the table of mortality would
indicate 100 deaths per annum, it would be necessary to have
always sufficient funds at immediate command to meet 145 deaths;
on the other hand, an office assuring only diseased lives need not
provide for more than 109 deaths per annum; that is to say, the
risk of aasuring diseased lives is to that of average lives as 9 to 45,
or only one.fifth. This fact is highly important to the interests of
this Society, and establishes beyond doubt the safety and correctiees
of the principles on which it is founded.
For further information, reference is made to the prospectuses
and other published documents of the Society, which may be ob-
tained on application at the Society's offices.

NEW SOUTH WALES.
(From the Sydney Morning Herald.)
The fifty-sixth anniversary of the foundation of the
colony of New South Wales, was, according to custom,
held on the 26th of January last, with a splendid re-
gatta. A grand entertainment was given on board the
General Hewett, of 1,000 tons, the flag-ship on the
occasion. The ladies and gentlemen invited on board
were about three hundred, comprising the elite of our
colonial society. His Excellency the Governor, and
Lady Gipps. with their suite, and the Bishops of Aus-
tralia and Tasmania, were amongst the company present.
We read with great pleasure in the speeches of his
Excellency, and of Mr. Benjamin Boyd, the chairman,
much to give confidence as to the favourable turn which
the affairs of the colony have taken.

The horses were started by Lord George Bentinck,
and got off in the most perfect style imaginable, nothing
that we could see having the slightest advantage. The
running was made by Physalis, followed by Hashed
Venison, Sir Abstrupus, African, Poison, and several
others, all keeping in perfect order, and without any
change of position for the first half mile;; Sir Abstrupus
then took up the lead, and, with African' laid up at his
quarters, carried on the running until within half a dis-
tance of home, when his follower closed with him, and,
going right away from their horses, they ran a slashing
race to the chair, Sir Abstrupus winning in the last stride
by a head. Hashed Venison, Pompey, and Poison were
beaten three or four lengths.

The vessel's gun-deck formed a splendid saloon. There
were three rows of tables, at which there was accom-
modation for 200 persons. The chair was taken by Ben-
jamin Boyd, Esq., supported by the Governor and Lady
Gipps. After the usual loyal toasts,
Mr. Born said the next ho had to propose was the
hea'th of Sir George Gipps. At an early age his Ex-
cellency was a brilliant ornament of the profession to
which he belonged ; and when peace threw her mantle
over the world, he soon obtained employment in that de-
partment which, more than any other, is connected with
the commerce of the country. lie soon, however, left the
Admiralty, and was employed on one of the most delicate
missions ever sent out by Great Britain. After such an
education, was it surprising that his Excellency was
selected for the government of this colony when a
vacancy occurred? Sir George Gipps might well be
proud of his position; he owed it not to the adventitious
circumstances of high birth, but had won it by his own
talents, his own assiduity. They must all be aware
how his Excellency's measures were connected with,
prosperity of the colony. When the convict
system sass done away with, he saw that the broad
acres of the colony must remain in their original
state if there were not a copious stream of immigra-
tion, and in consequence of his Excellency's arrange-
ments we have seen argosies loaded with thews and
sinews from the mother country, coming to develope th.
colony's resources. Are we to give way because there
has been depression deep and bitter enough to many
—because a cloud has passed over us ? Under such
circumstances we are too apt to throw upon others that
blame which belongs to ourselves. He believed, how-
ever, that the cloud was passing away. We were now
developing the resources of the country, and if these
resources be properly managed, we shall soon be inde-
pendent of the mother country. Give us immigration,
give us population for the interior—that is what is
wanted. As had been well observed by a reverend
writer, " Let us pledge what we may, we cannot pledge
our climate ;" and a climate such as this which we enjoy
actually alters the face of penury itself. Compare the
state of a pauper in a London December and one in thi,
colony. We have here plenty of food, and even in the
worst of times no man need starve who chooses to be in-
dustrious. But we must look to the future-7-he believed
they would unanimously say the bright future ; acd as
he had said before, he anticipated that before his Excel-
lency left, the colony would be in a flourishing state. He
would not talk politics, but he could not help remarking
that Sir G. Gipps was elected to his present office by
the Whigs ; and there was no doubt that the Tories,
when they came into power, would have been glad to
have filled up the office ; but they did not do so, be-
cause they could not find a man better adapted. With-
out any reference to Whig or Tory, he believed the
Governor was a man determined to do his duty, and
when he retired, however persons might be opposed to
particular acts, he was sure that all would agree that he
left office clean-handed and perfectly free from corrup-
tion. Ile proposed the health of his Excellency the
Governor.

Drunk with three times three, and one cheer more.
The GOVERNOR thanked the meeting for the manner
in which they had drank his health, and Mr. Boyd for
the way in which he had proposed it. He could assure
them that no one had a greater desire to see the colony
prosperous than he had—no one could more devote
himself to the promotion of the interests of the colony
than he had done. He had a peculiar pleasure in
meeting those he saw assembled around him ; some-
thing was wanted to cheer us, to dispel the gloom which
had so long hung over us, to infuse into us mirth and
merriment, which Mr. Boyd and his colleagues had sue-
ceeded in doing. It was a satisfaction to him to see
that the foundation of the colony is considered an event
worthy of commemoration ; that we are not ashamed
of our origin ; that we, the colonists, do not consider
that the colony has been a failure ; that those as-
sembled before him, persons from all classes, who
might fairly be considered the representatives of the
colony, did not think that the care bestowed on the co-
lony in its infancy had been thrown away. We have
undergone some hard knocks of late, but he saw before
him the strength and vigour, and, he would add, the
youth and beauty before him, that would carry the co-
lony on. As a colony, we are yet in our infancy; we
are like a young giant, anxious and ready to run our
course, and to struggle vigorously in pursuit of success.
The health of Lady Gipps was given and duly ho-
noured.

The GOVERNOR acknowledged the toast, and proposed
the health of Mr. Boyd and the other stewards.
Mr. Born expressed the gratification he and his bro-
ther stewards felt at seeing so many happy faces around
them. He had no fears ,for the prosperity of the colony.
Necessity has compelled us to discover an export which,
before 1860, he fully expected would equal the present
amount of our exports altogether.
A number of toasts were given, and after dinner qua-
drilles were danced on the quarter-deck until dark.
The Governor left the ship about a quarter-past six,
and was saluted with three cheers.
A more pleasant and comfortable day was never spent
than by those on board this noble ship.

WEST INDIA PlNES.—Another ship arrived at the
St. Katharine's Dock yesterday, from the West Indies, with
a cargo of pine apples, and at the request of the importers,
the Customs authorities permitted the discharge of the ship
after the legal hour, until dark last night (Wellnesday), to
prevent the cargo from becoming damaged, and in order that
the fruit might be got into the market with all possbile dis-
patch. There no §eyeu hundred dozen plans in this MO,

of steam-boat passengers according
to the tonnage of the
different vessels, have excited considerable alarm among
the rival steam-boat companies at Gravesend, who will be
compelled to increase their prices, in order, if possible, to
make up for the losses that must ensue upon the intended
limitations in the number of passengers. It was the over-
crowding of the boats on Sundays that made up for the every-
day losses.
HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT'S APIARY.
—Five tastefully-constructed bee-hives (in addition to two
others which al-rived at Windsor last week) of American
manufacture, in the for of castles, were brought to Windsor
Castle, yesterday morning:', by the patentee, by order of
Prince Albert, and placed in his Royal Highness's Apiary, at
the Royal Dairy, in the Home-park; the Prince having ex-
pressed his desire of devoting his attention to the rearing and
culture of this useful and profitable little insect. By an uni-
form temperature which is kept up in these hives, the bees
are preserved throughout the winter, providing at the same
time effectually for the health of the colony, and allowing the
surplus honey to be taken in the purest state.

nated, and the result goes to show that Ireland never was so
free from crime, and criminals, as at the preiett moment. In
every instance the judges have testified to the geacasWe state
of, tha country, and in very many of the most populous Coun-
ties their Lordsliiiis had literally nothing to yen_ Tip-
perary—once so horribly pre-eminent in crime=l7ll—ve from
criminals; and Clare, once the head-quarters of the Terry
Alts, has only one case of manslaughter on the calendar. In
the West, the " Going Judges" have gone " a pleasuring" on
Circuit. The assizes of Mayo have terminated three full
days sooner than was anticipated.
REPEAL ASSOCIATION.

The usual weekly meeting of the Repeal Association was
held this day at the Conciliation-hall.
The Rev. J. Tierney, P.P. of Clontibret, late traverser, in
the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, on taking the chair, said he believed
there was no necessity for him to make a profession of politi-
cal faith. Ile was one of those who had the honour of being
found guilty on the 12th of February of keeping the peace,
and it was for the Government to say why he had not the
honour of being a martyr also.—(Cheers.)
Mr. J. KELLY, the new Member for the city of Limerick,
handed in a sum of money from that locality, and in doing
so, said he would not have the honour of being among them
that day, but for the fact of his having understood that
Lord Heytesbury intended to put down the Association.—
(Hear, hear.) When that report reached him, he considered
it to be his duty to attend in that room, and share any re-
sponsibility that might attach to the proceedings of the As-
sociation.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN then referred to Lord Wicklow's letter
to the Association ; and, after a rapid review of the Ministe-
rial polig, read the reply of the Committee of the Association
to the oble Lord.
Mr. GORDON then rose to bring forward his motion relative
to the agitation of the repeal question in Parliament, when he
was interrupted by
Dr. NAGLE, who said Mr. Gordon had given no notice of
his motion.
Mr. GonHoN said he had.
Dr. NAGLE—Your notice was forfeited, as you did not
bring forward the motion on the day fixed.
Mr. GORDON said he had saved his notice by writing to
Mr. S. O'Brien.
Mr. D. O'CONNELL, jun.—ln that letter you did not require
your notice to be saved.

Mr. S. O'BRIEN believed Mr. Gordon had saved his notice,
and that he had a right to be heard; but he would put it to
Mr. Gordon whether he would not abandon his motion, when
he knew it was wholly against the wishes of the Committee.
Mr. Gordon could promulgate his opinion through some other
channel.

Mr. GORDON would be happy to adopt that course, espe-
cially as it was recommended by Mr. O'Brien. He then
went on to observe on the necessity of adopting a line of
conduct similar to that recommended in his notice of motion,
for it was idle to think they could bully or cajole the people
of England.—(Tremendous confusion ensued, in the midst of
which one of Mr. Gordon's neighbours offered him ss. to sit
down; the money was immediately handed in to the Secre-
tary, and Mr. Gordon having found it somewhat difficult to
obtain a hearing, resumed his seat.)

Several large sums of money were handed in, and after the
transaction of some other routine business,
Mr. S. O'BRIEN moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Wyse for
the manner in which he brought forward their petition in re-
ference to the State prosecutions.
The rent amounted to 1,0001.
SIR COLMAN O'LOGIILEN.
The following favOurable report appears in the Clare
Journal of yesterday :—" It will be gratifying to the friends
and admirers of Sir Colman O'Loghlen, Bart., to learn that
he is now fast recovering to convalescence. He laboured
under a severe attack of bilious fever, brought on by his
assiduous attention to the case of Mr. O'Connell and the
other traversers, during its progress in the House of Lords."
MURDER IN ROSCOMMON—RESPITE.

Yesterday, Mr. Malone, the under-sheriff of Roscommon,
received a respite for Catherine Bryan and Bridget Langan,
who were to be executed to-morrow, in pursuance of sentence
passed upon them at the late assizes, by Baron Lefroy, for
murder. The respite extends only to the 7th of August,
on which day the sentence must be carried into execution,
should no further respite be granted. It may be well to
remind our readers that the charge against these wretched
women was, that Bryen poisoned her husband, and when lie
was dead, procured the aid of her sister (Langan) to bring the
body outside the house, where they cut the throat with a
razor, which they placed in the hand of the dead man, to lead
to the inference which was drawn by the coroner's jury, that
he committed suicide. However, in nearly a year after, a
party implicated mentioned the facts, and the body having
been disinterred, some portion of the poison was found in it.
The jury who tried the case recommended the prisoners to
mercy, but Baron Lefroy refused to transmit the recommenda-
tion to the Irish Executive.
SHOCKING CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA.
The Cork Examiner of yesterday contains the following:—
"Painful indeed is our duty to announce the death .of Dirs.
Delacour, the second victim to this fearful malady in one
family, within the short space of five months. The sad death
of the young and graceful girl, the first victim, excited ge-
neral horror and consternation ; but who can describe the
feeling with which the announcement of the second death
will be received by the public ! For more than five months
the terrible poison lurked in the veins of this amiable lady,
until it at last manifested its presence in that horrible agony
which heralds the dissolution of the sufferer."

A cosrespondent of the same journal, writing from Mallow
on Sunday, says :—" An account of Mrs. Delacour's death
has reached town. She fell a victim to that dreadful malady
against whose ravages science has, as yet, discovered no
antidote—hydrophobia. It appears that the little dog which
caused Miss Delacour's death, about five months since, licked
Mrs. Delacour's face at that time ; and she since had a horror
of the fatal disease."

Mr. Edmond Murphy, of Mount, in the parish of Clon-
digad, has been fully committed to the county gaol, charged
with conspiring to attack the habitations of Major Ball and
F. B. Rosslewin, Esq. The alleged offence occurred some
months ago. This committal has occasioned much surprise
in the country.—Clare Journal.

THE LATE THOMAS HUDSON'S

FAMILY. _
The concert announced to be given for the benefit of the
widow and family of the late Thomas Hudson, the well-
known author and singer of comic songs, took place last night
in the Princess's Concert-room. It was under the patronage
of the Duke of Cambridge and nearly all the Civic authori-
ties. Flattery cannot soothe the dull cold ear of death ; such
an offering to Thomas Hudson would be as ill-timed as it is
useless. It may with truth be said that the sallies of his ini-
mitable wit and fancy never provoked an angry feeling, even
for an instant ! Like Yorick's, Thomas Hudson's songs and
flashes of merriment have set the table in a roar a thousand
times. With many other children of genius, however, his was
a wayward fortune. At that period of life when successful,
though less gifted men, think of retiring from the stir-
ring scenes and strife of a money-getting world, poor
Hudson found himself beginning anew. Buoyed', up by
the promises of friends, and backed by his own well-known
excellent character and popularity, he embarked in a busi-
ness of all others one Which demands unwinkiug energy, a
robust constitution, and experience ;—he became " mine
host " of the Kean's Head, in Ruisell-court. Here he lost
nearly all he had; a van load of his best furniture and a
five-pound note, to use his own expression, being the whole
that was left to him. Other distresses might also be men-
tioned. The concert last night was a proud testimony to his
worth, and it no doubt will gratify the feelings of the near
and dear relatives he has left behind him ,hs much as it will
be beneficial to them in a pecuniary sense. Nearly all the
available talent at present in the metropolis came forward
on the occasion ; among the vocalists were many of ,Mr.
Hudson's old friends ; the list comprised the natesAf Miss
Lucombe, Miss Dolby, Miss Lanza, Miss Willi s,' lets. W.
H. Segi4in Miss Thalia Andrea, Miss Cubit, Mi. Robinson,
Mr. Bliegvetve (violin), Mr. W. H. Seguin, M. Leopold de
Meyer, M. Aloscheles, and Mr. Holmes (pianoforte), to-
gether. with Mr. C. Horn, Mr. Fitzwilliam, Mr. Chatterton
(harp), Mr. Richardson (flute), Mr. Sedgwick, and Mr. Re-
gondi (concertina), Mr. Ransford, Mr. Sporle, Mr. Edney,
Mr. Louis A. Emanuel, &c. The.pieces were well selected
with a pleasing alternation of grave and gay, vocal and in-
strumental. Mr. John Parry in the course of the evening
was also at his post with a new song, " The Polka explained"
written by Albert Smith. Such a laudable entertainment is
beyond the pale of criticism, suffice it, therefore, to say, that
the Committee of Management—all of them friends of the
deceased—had every reason to be satisfied with the result of
their exertions.

FARM LABOURERS IN NORFOLK
AND SUFFOLK.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sim,—For years past I have given you facts relative to the
progressing condition of the farm labourers, farmers, land-
lords, and parsons of this district. I know you have some-
times thought the picture a little overwrought, and you have
occasionally remarked, with great propriety, that if such
scenes of oppression were of common occurrence, the working
people would have assuredly broken out into some open acts
of hostility, as the result of such suffering.
The forbearance of the farm labourers has been most exem-
plary, for if you were correctly informed of but a hundreth
part of the ills inflicted upon them, through the game-laws,
the poor-law, both the old one and the new, the stringent
covenants laid upon the farmers, the increased tithe under
the commutation system, all finding their way to the poor
in the shape of increased privation—instead of wondering at
the present state of the Suffolk calendar, on which you have
remarked in an excellent leader of Saturday, you would be
surprised that it had not long since been double what it now is.
But my purpose to-day is only to notice, with one or two,
practical expressions, the following sentence of the article in
question.
.You remark that "out of thirty prisoners charged with arson
at Ipswich, fifteen cannot read or write, and, with great pro-
priety,‘ ask what the parochial and district clergy have been
about ?" and "where in this statement there is any evi-
dence of those incessant, all-important, and spontaneously-
administered efforts, enlightening and instructing, informing
and guiding, the minds of their flocks ?"
You may well ask these questions ; but the present state
of the district may be as clearly traced to the times which
have begotten such events, as the fact that night succeeds
to day.
In the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk there are 1,370
parishes, to each of which there is apportioned a
voting parson, and yet the Education Commis-
sioner, Mr. Freemenhan, reported Norfolk to be the
most ignorant of English counties ; while you
may rely upon! it Suffolk is not a whit behind her neigh-
bour in similar ignorance ; but how should it be otherwise ?
The clergy of these counties have their time occupied as
country gentlemen, in attending to the business of magis-
trates, poor-law guardians, game-breeders, and sportsmen,
and particularly to keeping the registration lists in good con-
dition. There must of necessity be a few honourable excep-
tions to this kind of State-paid priesthood, but as a rule, they
are the class under whose discipline the present race of rick-
burners have been bred. Couple this with the conduct pur-
sued against Dissenters by the clergy, within the Arch-
deaconries of the Venerables, Bathurst, Glover, Oldenshaw,
and others, and you will not be surprised, that with the
greatest number of such teachers, there happens to be, in
these counties, the greatest amount of this most awful kind of
crime—the result of gross ignorance, accompanied by savage
disappointment, degradation, and hunger.
A system of covenants, game-laws, and tithe 3, which drives
the farmer to pay, and the single man to accept for the same
labour half the sum which his married younger brother, with
a family, receives, kindles in the breast of every member of
that family, a flame, which on the first opportunity comma
nicates with the farmer's stack-yard; and under the super-
vision of a priesthood that leaves one half of the population
in total ignorance, and the remainder with the least possible
instruction, what result ought you to look for, other than
that you have ? Such people do not fear punishment ; and
in proof of this, I am credibly informed, by an eye-witness,
that there were two fires within sight of Ipswich, while the
judges were there trying the unhappy people who had been
charged with the crime. You have by this time seen the
result of the Ipswich Assizes, and the opinion offered, in the
presentment of the grand jury, that low wages have had
nothing to do with the crime of arson,—while the opinion of
the great mass of the people is, that until equal wages are
paid for the same work, there will be no hope, or reason to
expect the fires will cease. I am, &c.,
July 29, 1844. A FRIEND OF EDUCATION.

TEE IDENTIFICATION OF BODIES FOUND IN THE
RrvEs.—At an inquest, held before Mr. Carter, the Coroner
for Surrey on the body of a young man, who bad not been
owned, but was supposed to be one of the unfortunate persons
drowned at the recent accident on'the river, the jury wished
to know if the coroner had not the power of ordering a descrip-
tion of the person, the clothes, and such things as he might
hpre in his possession, and likely to lead to the discovery of
'Ms friends, to be advertised in the morning papers. Mr.
Carter said he had no funds for such a purpose, and it was
seldom the parish would go to the expense ; but he was
strongly of opinion that there ought to be some general re-
gistering office for the description of the persons and clothes
-of all persons missing or found ; and he thought no better
place could be had than the police-station in Scotland-yard,
where one officer would be sufficient for the duty. The ex-
pense would be but trifling, and, in most cases, the relations
would pay any moderate charge. In Paris there was an
establishment to which all persons found dead were taken
(La Morgue) ; but he thought a registry, giving the descrip-
tion of the bodies and clothes, would effect all that was
desired, and every one could go and ascertain if a lost friend
had been discovered ; or, if not, state the description, when
information could be sent to them of the finding of the body.
The jury fully concurred in the suggestion thrown out by the
Coroner, and observed, that as the police were paid by the
public, the trifling expense of one man for such a purpose
ought not to weigh for a moment when such a vast good
would be effected. _

BRIGHTON, JULY pl.—The vessel destroyed by
Capt. Warner, off the coast, was washed ashore last night
during a stiff south-w( stgale in the presence of several hun-
dred spectators. She was Observed to float about three
o'clock in the afternoon, and as soon as all her ballast was
washed out of her, she separated into several pieces, and
fragments of the wreck drifted down channel past the chain-
pier. The wreck was an object of great curiosity to thou-
sands; and numbers of persons, who had witnessed the de-
struction of the vessel, collected small fragments to preserve
as relics. The sea beach was strewed with her timbers, and
a hundred persons at least were in the water at one time en-
deavouring to secure portions of the vessel which they fan-
cied they might take away at pleasure. Since the vessel
was sunk, a small boat had been placed over the wreck, with
a flag flying, to warn vessels of the danger of approach; and
we believe, notwithstanding the apprehensions of Captain
Pechell, that not the slightest accident has happened by any
contact with the hull of the John o'Gaunt. The fishermen
were informed that they might possess themselves of any
portions of the wreck they could procure, but whilst they
were in the act of carrying away a portion of the timbers, the
Coast Guard stopped them. Two of them, bolder than the
rest, refused to comply with the orders of the Preventive
men, and suffered themselves to be taken before the magis-
trates, who, on their promising not to repeat the offence,
discharged them. The wreck of the John o'Gaunt was com-
plete, and must have convinced the most sceptical, had they
seen the shattered vessel scattered about in all directions on
the ocean, of the extraordinary power of Capt. Warner's in-
vention. Even Sinbad's ship, of which we read that every
staple and nail was drawn by the magnetic power of the rock,
could not have' fallen to pieces more easily than theoh
o'Gaunt under the operation of Captain Warner's explosive
power. •
