THE PERILS OF THE NATION . Last -whiter a British army was sacrificed . Public resentment ran high , and a few Minist ers were driven from place and power . But the aristocracy retained the helm , though ConstitutionalRcformers , Administrative Beformers , aud State Reformers imposed on themselves the task of propelling the Executive in the right direction . AVe are by no means sure that punishment fell , in the spring , upon the heads of the really guilty persons . Still less can we deny that Lords Pilmehstox and Panmure , stimulated by
the energy of public opinion , set matters on a better ' footing , and brought the general body of officials to a more appropriate senae of dutv . But they have hitherto had the season * in their favour . No second hurricane has yet invaded the Black Sea ; the rains and snows of another winter have not tested the improved arrangements of the camps in the Crimea . The time of renewed trial , however , is approaching , and the nation must look to its army .
The disasters of last winter have not yet been appreciated . Lord Palmeuston tells us that an unprecedented increase of our military forces has taken place , the number of moil enlisted in the present year being double the amount ever before enlisted in a single year . These troops , he adds , are magnificently equipped , and animated by ttio highest spirit . Their equipments may bo mSro " magnificent" than sorvicoaWe , and ot
their manly spirit there is not a ^"^" ' j "" lmvo we , or shall we ever have ngni , such a body of ' soldiers as were ^ ^ "g ^ S pestilence , or rotted by loci , 01 , SI ZvtuorU'X ^ nc c s 8 eB as

Leader Office , Saturday-, September 1 . It is said" that the interview which recently took place at Vienna between the Duke de Montpensier and his cousin , the Count de Chambord , was against the express advice of the Spanish Minister at that Court . He urged that it was inopportune , and likely to be misconstrued ; but the Duke replied that his object was in fact political , and in the interest of the Spanish dynasty , more especially of his wife . The interview , therefore , took place , and has given" rise to much talking . *

told her to gather up the medicine bottles , and she believed her master did also . Miss Lanchester , Miss Brecknell , and her roaster , were present . —At the close of the proceedings , the usual address to the prisoner having been made , Mr . Wooler replied : — "I thank God Almig hty-that I can say from the bottom of my heart that I am as innocent as any of you three gentlemen sitting there ; and I trust that Almighty God , before -whom I stand , will bring to light the atrocious criminal ffliO has perpetrated this foul deed . " Foisonrwo- bv Mistake . —A woman has been accidentally poisoned at Battle , in Sussex , owing to taking arsenic in mistake for carbonate of soda . Even when die became aware of the error , she foolishly kept the matter secret until it was too late .

Siosoit Gavazzi has left England for New York . The West Coast of Afkica . —Intelligence has arrived of a sanguinary affair which took place on the 17 th of July at Gambia .

The Marabous then burnt three English villages , and defeated Governor O'Connor , with a loss of thirty killed and forty-three wounded . Subsequently , with the assistance of the crew of a French man-of-war and one hundred and fifty wbite troops , the town of St .

P . — A meeting has been held at Bristol , to take the initialive in presenting a testimonial to Mr . F . 11 . Berkeley , in consideration of bis parliamentary services , and more especially his efforts in obtaining the repeal of the late obnoxious Beer Bill . State of Tuade . —The favourable prospects of the harvest have acted as a stimulus upon business in all our large manufacturing towns ; and the hopeful appearance of matters in the East has added to the general feeling of confidence . ^ At Manchester and Birmingham , a great increase of activity is observable ; at Nottingham , in spite . of this being the dull season , a very fair demand is nfade for woollen goods ; and the Irish linen markets are recovering from their recent depression . From all the other seats of industry , equally cheerful accounts have been received . The Board of Trade Kkturns for the month ending the 31 st of July were issued on Tuesday . Compared with the corresponding month of last year , they show a falling off in the declared value of our exportations of 1 , 239 , 260 / . At that period , however , the shipments to Australia and New York were at their height , and the total was consequently unusually large , exhibiting an increase of 377 , 105 / . even over the prosperous month of Jnly , 1853 . With regard to imported commodities , an increase is again shown in the arrivals of wheat and flour . Other articles of food and luxury have also been taken largely into consumption . Tea , coflee , cocoa , sugar , wiues , apices , and tobacco , all figure for a decided increase . —Times . Murder near Croyoon . —A very horrible murder has been committed at a village called Cudham , a few milcd from Croydon . A labouring man named Beagley returned from his work about half-pa . st seven on the evening of lust Saturday , and found tho cottage in which" lie lived fast closed and locked . He broke a window , and , together with his son , went in his wife ' s bedroom . Not receiving any answer to his questions , he felt about the bed , and put his hand into a pool of something wet . A light was procured , nnd blood was seen all about the bed . On turning down the hedclbtheft , the poor woman was found dead , and with her face frightfully disfigured by blows . In an atljoimng rooin was discovered llcugluy's mother , an old woman upwards of eighty ; her skull was broken in , and her person otherwise injured . She was insensible , but not dencL A pnir of tongn , covered with blood nnd hair , was found in tho first room ; and the ltouxe had been ransacked of a few pound * and some clothes . . Suspicion attaches to two men . This Birmingham 1 ' kkl Status , originating in a fund subscribed by tho people of Birmingham , and executed by Birmingham workers from tho design of a Birmingham artist , him been inaugurated in tho presence of the Mayor and an immense and enChusiorttio crowd . So great was tho pressure that a lady received injuries from which she died . Tub Cuaiton Poibonino Cask . —Tho inquest in thirt case hoe terminated in the following verdict : — " Wo find that tho dec « asod , Emma Candy , died from ttwallowing a quantity of arsenic , by whom given we have not sufficient evidence to prove . " Tho only additional witness on Monday was a formor servant of Mr . Candy , who fluid » ho had seen her master kiss Mi « s lluntloy in the milkhouao ; that tho latter wan mora mistress than Mrs . Candy ; and that Mrs . Cundy had told her ( tho witness )
that she had more than once seen her husband on the bed with Miss Huntley , in consequeuce of which she was very much troubled , and threatened to hang herself . The Christians of all Nations . —During the week which may be called " the Queen ' s week" in Paris—in the midst of the dazzling magnificence and loud enthusiasm of that series of fetes—a meeting of the amicable emissaries of several nations , strikingly distinct from the greetings of tile two" crowned heads , took place in the same city . A set of conferences of the Christians of all nations was held at the instance of the Evangelical Alliance of London ; at which , notes were compared as to the state of religion in the various countries represented , and with respect to the best methods of extending its influences . Drunkenness ts Scotland . —Mr . D . M'Laren , of Edinburgh , has been examining various Parliamentary returns relative to the sale of spirits ; and from these he deduces the fact that , in the year from May , 1854 , to May , 1855 , during which time the act relative to the closing of public-houses on Sunday was in force in Scotland , there was " a decrease of no less than 957 , 830 gallons of spirits as compared with the average consumption of the preceding four years . This , " he adds , " is at the rate of two-and-a-half pints of decrease for every man , woman , and child in Scotland , or , if one half of the population be assumed fairly to represent the young persons -and others who do not consume spir its , " the decrease will be at the rate of five pints per annum for each of the spirit-drinkers in Scotland ! " ' The consumption of ale and beer also decreased during the same period . This decrease Mr . M'Laren attributes mainly to the operation of the act , though he admits that the augmented duty on spirits may have contributed to the result . Endowed Schools of Ireland . — The Commissioners appointed to inquire into the management of the endowed schools of Ireland are at present making a tour of the provinces , and have already elicited several facts showing that many of the schools are very badly managed , the funds , which are generally amply sufficient for a liberal education , being perverted from their original design and ¦ wasted . There are , however , some honourable exceptions to this rule .
