Fleet-street, Institution to be sacrifi . oed to a technical infor mality. They had twice visited the Asylum and there had seen with their own eyes, and heard with their own ears, what they reported to the Execu tive Committee. They had found an absence of moral control, a religious instruction having no relation to practical duties, a system of revolting punishments, a discipline opposed to all notions of delicacy and propriety, and betraying a general incompetence in the Chaplain and the Lady Su perintendent for the responsible charge of female orphans. And what was the reply of the Execu tive Committee ? That they disapprove and regret the conduct of the Lady Superintendent and the Chaplain in some instawes. But, "considering the " peculiar circumstances under which the Schools , " had been carried on" ; that ia, the absence of all supervision on the part of the responsible Royal' Commissioners, and the want of previous experience on the part of the Lady Superintendent and the Chaplain, they were of opinion that a recur rence of those faults might be prevented, and that therefore It was not necessary to proceed to the extreme measure of calling upon the Lady Superintendent and the Chaplain to resign. Can we be surprised that seven of the Ladies should have entirely dissented from this decision, which is nothing more or less than an aggravation of the original fault of appointing to the care of three hundred poor orphans officials without previous experience, and destitute of the commonest qualifications ; a Chaplain who substi tutes for moral control hysterical religious excite ments ; a spinster Lady Superintendent without • grain of self-reliance or decision of character ; and an honorary naval Secretary whose notion of the fit and proper training for orphan girls is mes merism (without the medical officer's sanction) when they are faint, and corporal punishment when they are "rude "? Can we wonder if the seven Ladies were not satisfied with the assurance of the Executive Committee, that • new set of rules and regulations for the domestic management of the Asylum had been drawn up, and that in future the Asylum would be periodically inspected by two bishops f They fear a relapse into the former mismanage- , ment and indifference, and this fear will be under stood and shared by all who have not yet forgotten the war in which many of the fathers of these poor orphan girls were sacrificed to " the unpleasant " nese of the task of dismissing incompetent " officials" ; a task which the independent section of the Lathes' Committee of the Royal Victoria Patriotic Asylum deem quite a secondary conside ration to the claims of common sense and common feeling, to the benevolent intentions of the founders of the Asylum, and to the satisfaction of a noble national purpose. gbe Court. ght erpreors.

Ir to any of our readers the analogy drawn last week between War Office and Horse Guards administration during the Crimean war, and the ad ministration of the Royal Victoria Patriotic Asylum, may have seemed farfetched or fancifully malig nant, we can only recommend to them the careful perusal of the " Third Report of the Royal Com " missioners of the Patriotic Fund," just pre sented to Parliament. So far from being far fetched or fanciful, the analogy deserves rather to be called a likeness—as painful as the likeness of a sick child to a dead father. The Royal Victoria Patriotic Asylum, of which ber Marxery laid the first stone in July, 1857, was opened for the reception of orphan girls in July, 1859,wben 150 were admitted. This number gradually increased to 268. It was not until January, 1862, that the domestic management of the Asylum appears to have become the subject of inquiry, after one of the inmates, a poor orphan girl, a servant, but not receiving wages, had been burnt to death while under solitary confinement. This poor girl had evidently perished by an acci dent, but her solitary confinement for two days was • punishment inflicted by order of the Chap lain for the heinous offence of " rudeness to the " laundrem." The Lady Superintendent, it after wards appeared, was opposed in principle to the penalty of solitary confinement, but had not the courage to differ from the Chaplain. It was the scandal of an inquest that provoked the Executive Committee of the Royal Commission to appoint a Visiting Committee of Ladies. For two years and a half the poor orphan girls had been left to the discretion of the Chaplain, the Lady Superin tendent, and a distinguished naval captain, acting as " Honorary " Secretary of the Royal Commission. The Chaplain and the Captain together had (among other peculiarities) de vised a scheme of corporal punishments for the female orphans, the Lady Superintendent tacitly disapproving (as she afterwards avowed), but con senting. The Ladies' Committee, appointed at the end of January, 1862, met on the 11th of February, and again on the 11th of March, and adopted resolutions with which the Executive Committee only partially complied. On the 27th of March eight of the Ladies' Committee cf thirteen drew up a statement of the circumstances under which they could not consent to continue the exercise of their functions, unless the Execu tive Committee, at their meeting on the following day, should dismiss the persons to whom they had hitherto entrusted the local management of the Institution. These ladies had been made aware, by close personal inquiries, that the Institution bad been entirely mismanaged, and that the Executive Committee had been kept in igno rance of many important details of its inter nal administration. Thus they found that the Chaplain had assumed unauthorised powers, and administered punishments totally unsuit able and revolting—especially in a girls' school ; that the Lady Superintendent was unequal to the control of such an establishment, " as not possess " lug sufficient judgment of her own, and had " consented to follow out unauthorised orders, " which she knew to be objectionable." This state ment was politely set aside on a point of form by the Executive Committee, as it had not been drawn up at a meeting of the Ladies' Committee, regularly summoned; but the Executive Com mittee promised to inform the ladies of the result of their own deliberations on the whole question of the future government of the Asylum. And now mark the contrast between the Executive and the Ladies' Committee. The latter would not allow the vital interests of the THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 9. 1863. WINDSOR CASTLE, Jon 8.

The new member for Kinsale, Sir George Colt horst, has promised to give a general support to the present government, and the member for New Rose will be likely to do the same. These two elections, therefore, make no change in the relative forces of the respective parties ; but had the two ultramontane candidates succeeded, it would have been so much strength added to the opposition. The elections are, besides, important as indicating the decline of the rabid sectarian feeling which carried the Longford election. _ . _ --------- A despatch from the Duke of Newcastle is pub lished in the Tasmanian papers recently received, which state* that Lieutenant Brooker and his party, who were sent out from this country at a considerable expense, to survey the whole of the Tasmanian coast, have been withdrawn in consequence "of the refusal of local supplies towards de fraying the cost of the survey."

A greed banquet was given at the latter town by the captain of the Hessageries packet boat Camboge, at which divers loyal and patriotic toasts were drunk, and from which the Prince departed to the noise of a minte of artillery, after he had expressed his satisfaction with all that H. de Leseeps bed shown him.

At Berlin the people appear to expect from day to day the appearance of a decree promulgating a new electoral law. The dissolution of the Cham ber of Deputies will then, it is thought, take place and a new chamber be convened for the let of October. It has been remarked that the Prussian Moniteur has not reproduced the speech of the Crown Prince at Dantzic, although it has given an account of his stay in that city. On the 2nd inst. the Crown Prince of Prussia paid a visit of two hours' duration to M. von Winter, late acting Police-President in Berlin, now Overburgomaster of Dantzic, at his country house of Jelenic, near Culm. M. von Winter is of liberal politics, but for which be would probably have been confirmed in the office he temporarily held at Berlin. DENMARK AND GERMANY. The Prussian Minister of Foreign Affairs has sent & despatch, in reply to the last Danish note, in which be says : If the Danish government means to imply that it has been compelled to resort to the last measures it has thought fit to take in consequence of the resolutions of the German Diet and of the resistance of the Holstein Estates—a re sistance fomented by the sympathies of the German go vernmente—snch au assertion is not justified by anything, and 1 feel myself bound energetically to contradict the in direct reproach which it implies. Murree =mums.) RUSSIA. BERLIN, JCITZ 9. Private letters received here from St. Peters burg state that the Municipal Council of Moscow had resolved upon the formation of a civic militia, and that thousands of citizens enrolled themselves in the first two days. It was thought that the example would be followed in other towns. The chief magistrate of Moscow, Prince Schtehrbatow, is at present at St. Petersburg, it is said, for the pur k ose of obtaining permission for the formation of this militia, and the sanction of its regulations. ITALIAN UNITY. NAPLES, Jong 9. The inauguration of the railway from Naples to Eboli has been celebrated by a banquet. Signor Teochio, the representative of the railway company, drank the health of the King, and ex pressed his hope that Rome and Venice would soon be included within the Italian kingdom. The speech was received with enthusiastic ap plause, and cheers for the unity of Italy. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom on OWN onuaroppin.) PARIS, MOZMAT EVLNING. There are rumours of something disastrous hav ing occurred before Puebla, and these rumours are very insufficiently refuted by the large columns of addition published by the Moniteur, showing the fabulous number of cannons, cannon-balls, and bullets which have been, or will be, sent out to Mexico. This much is clear, that the Moniteur has a mass of despatches, from which it does not think it expedient to publish even an extract ; but there is in the front page of the Moniteur this morning some very significant evidence that the losses of the expeditionary army must have been something very far exceeding anything that the government has hitherto admitted. We find that in the single month of April General Forey conferral, on the field of battle, 10 crosses of officers in the Legion of Honour, 26 crosses of chevalier, and 79 military medals. The recipients of these honours were almost all severely wounded. Such a very large distribution of rewards infers very great slaughter, as a reference to the Moniteur in former years will show by the rule of proportion. The France states that four ships of the line, three transports, and two frigates are going to Vera Cruz immediately with reinforcements. A highly characteristic electoral anecdote is re ported from the department of the Corrbze. The prefect had his orders from M. de Persigny to com bat might and main M. de Jouvenel, the ez deputy, who was a government candidate six years ago, but has fallen into disgrace because he pre sented the famous report against the Palikao dots bon job. In a commune of that departwent,Saint Pardue: l'Ortigier, the mayor is a nobleman "of that ilk," the Count Maurice de Saint Pardon residing in his ancestral chateau of St. Pardon. He had been mayor of his native place for fifteen years, and in 1857 received orders to make his people vote for M. de Jouvenel. This year it seems to have been suspected that he was not ready to turn his coat with sufficient celerity. On the eve of the elections, at the undue hour of three in the morning, he was roused from his bed by a gendarme, who came to tell him on the part of the prefect that he was suspended and must leave his assistant to preside at the electoral bureau. " Very well," said the count. "But," added the gendarme, " I am ordered not to lose sight of you until the elections are over." There upon the suspended mayor resigned his office in the following letter : Monsieur le Sous-prefet,—l thank you for the honour able position you have carved out for me by suspending me during this election.

LAW INTELLIGENOII (THIS DAY.) COURT OF QUERN'S BENCH. Bitiino in Bum" —(Bafar• Lard Chief Justice Cockburn, and Jastkee Wig!Amin, Crouiptou, and Blackburn.) KARL CARDIGAN V. LIRIIT,COLONTL CALTHOILPI.-TIR LIGHT CAVALRY CRAWL AT BALAILAYA. This morning cause was shown against the role obtained in Easter Term on the application of the Earl of Cardigan, whist Lieutenant-Colonel Caltharpe, to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him for libel relative to the statements contained in the work entitled " Letters from Head-quarters," by a staff dam, reflecting on the Earl of Cardigan's military conduct in the renowned and memorable charge of the Light Cavalry Brigade under the command of the noble earl on the Russian battery. Great interest was evinced in the proceedings. The galleries ware filled long before the opening of the court with ladies. There was also, as is usual when interesting cases are before the court, a large attendance of the junior and brieflews members of the bar, and the remaining space available for the public was crowded with people, amongst whom were a large number of military men, and Mr. W. H. Russell. Earl Cardigan came into court about a quarter to ten with his junior counsel, and occupied a scat within the bar. Mr. Serjeant Sheri, Mr. Coleridge, sod Mr. Browne, appeared to show causewrainat the rule ; Mr. &mill, Q.C., and Mr. Garth, supported it. Mr. Serjeant Shea said he had to show cause against a rule obtained by Mr. /krill, calling upon the floe. Lieute nant-Colonel Calthorpe,of the sth Dragoon Guards, to show cause whyaninformation should not be exhibited against him for certain misdemeanours, in composing, writing, printing, and publishing certain scandalous libels of the conduct of the Earl of Cardigan. The rule was obtained on the affi davits of Major-General the Earl of Cardigan, Lieutenant- General Sir James 3carlett, and several officers and men who took part in the battle of Bakke's, on the 24th of October, 1856. The Earl of Cardigan, in his affidavit, set forth what he represented to be the truth respecting his military conduct on that day, and on other occasions during the Russian war, against what he repeatedly designated as calumnious and entirely groundless imputations of Lieut.-Colonel Calthorpe contained in certain passages of the work, entitled " Letters from Head-quarters." respect ing the realities of the war in the Crimea, by a staff officer, of which three editions had been published : the first, in December. 1856 ; the second, in June, 1857 ; and the third, in December, 1857. His lordship stated in his affidavit the praise which was bestowed upon him by Lieutenant-General Lucan, who was in command of the British cavalry in the Crimea, in his report to Lord Raglan, on the 27th October, three days after the charge, for the gallant and intrepid manner in which be led the attack on the Russian battery ; and also by Lord Raglan. in a general order, dated the 29th October, 1854, to the Commander-in. Chief, for the gallant 7, coolness, and perseverance with which Earl Cardigan, and the officers and men under his command, executed one of the most arduous tasks ever witnessed under the heaviest fire and in the face of powerful batteries of artillery supported by cavalry. and infantry. His lordship also pat forward the gracious acknowledgment aid approval by her Majesty of his services on that day, and also the thinks that were voted to him for those services by both houses of parlia -1 meet, and then a speech of his own. describing the charge sod retreat of the Russians at Balaklava, in the highest degree . eulogistic of his own conduct, pronounced by him at i banquet given to him at the Mansion-house on the Pith February, 1855. His lordship next set forth a letter written on the 26th December, 1856, to the military secretary of his Royal Highnessthe Commander -in. Chief, in which he asked to be allowed to prefer charges before a court martial against Lieutenant-Colonel Calthorpe for scandalous and dis graceful conduct unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman in publishing false and malicious statements against a general officer in the army, and the refusal of the Commander-is-Chief to order that own martial. And next, a letter from his lordship's solicitors to Lieutenant-Colonel Caltborpe, in which, after stating that the recent publication of the first portion of Mr. King. lake's book had revived the interest of the public and of mili tary men in the events of the Crimean war, they stated that the Earl of Cardigan felt it imperative on him that the matter should be set at rest in his lordship's lifetime, and whilst he could have the benefit of the testimony of the survivors of those who took part in the events referred to, and they called on Lieut• Colonel Calthorpe to retract the statement P ublished by him derogatory to the character and oondnct o f Earl Cardigan as an officer, sod make an ample apology for his having been the means of giving circula. tee to them, and to either stop the sale of any future copies of the work, or append in a conspicuous place an explana tion satisfactory to his lordship. The reply of Liout:CoL Calthorpe to that letter was also set forth, dated sth Feb ruary, 1863, in which be expressed his regret that he could not comply with that request, and that it was not his intention to withdraw any one of the assertions ob• jested to by the Earl of Cardigan as oontained in the' last edition of his work. With the exception of Earl Cardigan's affidavit, he did not intend to trouble their lord ships with more than a reference to two or three passages in the other affidavits, as he only intended to refer to them incidentally to their conteota. He asked their lordships on behalf of Lieutenant-Colonel Calthorpe to discharge the rule on three grounds ; first, that the only pas sages in Lieutenant-Colonel Calthorp'a book complained of by the Earl of Cardigan were the result honestly expressed of information fairly obtained at the time, and that the statements in them relating to the conduct of the Earl of Cardigan were in all substantial matters, as it appeared from Earl Cardigan's affidavits end upon affidavits in answer to it. the troth. Secondly, that the conduct of Earl Cardigan towards Lieutenant-Colonel Calthorpe, since the publication of the first edition of the book, and the conduct of Limit-Colonel Calthorpe towards the Earl of Cardigan, had been accord ' ing to the ordinary practise of the court, such as to disentitle Earl Cardigan to the special interfer ence which he asked. And, thirdly, that the war in the Crimes., and the conduct of the public men in the service of the crown in connexion with it had at the time the alleged libels were published become matters of history, and free comment and discussion, and that Lieutenant- Colonel Calthorpe had a right to form and i publish his opinions respecting them, and that he had done so with an earnest desire to be strictly accurate with respect to the Earl of Cardigan, and with no intention of calum niating him. It was upon those three grounds, and those only, he asked their lordships to discharge the rule, and be particularly directed their attention to the fact that there wee no reference in them to any technical objection, and he distinctly wished it to be known that on no ground such as dilatoriness or indifferenaeon the partof the Earl of Cardigan in the vindication of his honour until now, did Lieutenant- Colonel Calthorpo desire the rale to be disposed of. He had been brought here on affidavits, which appeared to have left their lordship. no alternative but to doubt at least that Lieutenant-Colonel Calthorpe had been guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. He was charged in Earl Cardigan's affidavit as a wilful calumniator of his lordship, and he hoped their lordships would allow him to eliminate himself from that charge, which would be dis graceful to him as a gentleman and a soldier if true, for he had no desire to ride off at this stage of the battle on a horse with a single drop in his veins of blood called the statute of limitations. (Laughter.) Lieutenant.. Colonel Calthorpe met the case fairly, and be now addressed himself to the first of the points, and he would endeavour, not in the spirit of attacking the Earl of Cardi gan, but that of defending Lieutenant-Colonel Calthorpe, to bring the matter as fairly as he could before the court, and do his best to satiety their lordship! that Lieutenant-Colonel Calthorpe had done nothing but what became a man of honour, of courage, and honesty. The learned serpent then re ad the description of the charge, and the following words referring to Earl Cardigan, in the first edition :—"Scarce a man escaped except those who crept under their gun-carriages. and thus pot themselves out of the reach of our men's swords. This was the moment when a general was most required, but unfortunately Lord Cardi gan was not then present. On coining up to the battery (as he afterwards himself described it), a gun was fired close to him, and fora moment he thought his leg was gone. Such WAS not the case, as he remained unhurt ; however, his horse took fright. swerved round, and gallopped off with him to the rear, passing on the way the 4th Light Dragoons and 11th Hummers before those regiments got up to the bat tery." The version of the words complained of which be (Ser jeant Shea) was instructed to give, and which was the plain meaning, was that Earl Cardigan was not when be ought to have been, and, it not by accident, because he chose to retie. (The learned serjeant was still addressing the court when our report left.] COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) OWEN O. WILLIANS.-JODOMENT.

IN an FINCBAN. —LONG DELA% IN RU.LINiNgh PROPNITT. Mr. Sargood said that he had to apply to the court in this matter, which was an old insolvency case, to enlarge the time for the sale of the reel estate until the let of September nest. The insolvency had taken place so long ago as April, 1866. The insolvent had to become the purchaser of certain property, but, s 4 unable to complete, be had allowed soother person to become the purchaser, he himself being a party to the deed, and a memorandum being made that the insolvent bad a right to redeem The actual purchaser. Mr. Foulkes by Dame, sub sequently transferred the property tease Muterroan, who set up the transfer es an actual booa.tide sale, and the insolvent's creditors were therefore *puree tly shut out from the chance of redeensiog the property. which turned out to be of con siderable value. A meeting of crediton bad bean called, and on application to the court a suit in Chancery bad been authorised for the purpose of obtaining a declaration of the iesoloest's rights. The court had aloe authorised the tender of 7001. to Mr. Masterman to abandon his claim ; akt. he had accepted, and the property was now vested in no &mignon. Of coarse, after all that delay, the mim e had been unable to sell within the time allowed by tk o , statute, six months from the date of the order. The sale of the property was now fixed for the 6th of July ; .4 to allow time for the preparation of the necessary deeds, he asked the court to extend the time allowed for tele to the let of September next. His Honour, being informed that no one objected to the application, made the order accordingly. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) 1121 Z CASZ OF MR.
