AFFAIRS OF POLAND. . .. tawsl STRATFORD D 6 REDCLIFFE (who was lade fleetly beard in the gallery) called the attention of their lorsLiops to the cirenaseteaces which were taking place in And the cruelties that were beiogperpetristed in that conotr). It would, he said, be recollected that the noble reel the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs had *Med that he would make fresh communicatioas to parliament reapeetiug Poland at the earliest opportunity. He would ,00tent to wait patiently until his noble friend should Mims the proper tune had arrived for making those comma amatioui, but seeing tLat the public papers were filled with reports of atrocities that were being committed, he thought he et, perfectly justified in putting a question on the sub ject. There was at pressatino official proof of those atnici. ties, but perhaps bia sable friend would be able to throw some light on that ppaasrt of the matter, for there was every probability of such atrocities haring occurred. It was said that priests were executed without the forms of law sad under circumstances of superfluous cruelty , that women and children were put to death whole hale in their places of shelter; that unprovoked attacks were made on private houses by undisciplined soldiers ; that venous were slaughtered in cold blood ; that authorities who bad assembled to address the Emperor in terms of to alty were ruthlessly hues ; and, worst of all, it was said that ladies were to be subjected to the knout for simply wear ing mourning attire. B. hoped their lordships would agree with him that if one-tenth part of these allegations was true. it was a cue which required the deep consideration of Europe, and one which might well call forth an a:premien re detestation. It was said that the three leading European goveruments had addressed the court of St. Petersburg on the subject, but be confessed he was far from sanguine as to that leading to say mansfactory result. He could not avert bin eyes front the probable consequences of the percent slate of things, sad therefore it was that he was anxious that something more positive and satisfactory should be Mated by the noble earl, for there could be no doubt that the existing state of things was dangerous to Europe, and therefore it was in the interest of this country and of Europe that he was undoes that the government should ,view this question not only in reference to the present moment, but the future. He had a strung conviction that uuless something was done of a very positive kind to produce a separation between the two parties so long engaged in hostilities with each other, and which hostilities were sot of a nature to be set aside, there would be no cure for an evil which had so frequently proved itself dangerous to the pleas of Europe, and would b some more and more so. The questions which he had to put were, first, at what period in the present session did her Majesty's government hope to be able to make further com musications to parliament as to the affairs of Poland ; sad secondly, whether he had received any information respect- Mg the rigour and cruelty of the Russian authorities, par ticularly with regard to the flogging of women! Earl RUSSELL—With respect to the first question of my whin friend, I have to may that no very long time will elapse before I 'hall be able to lay additional papers on the table of the house. With regard to what has taken place en the part of her Majesty's government—on Wednesday bat a despatch left London, Paris, and Vienna for St. Petersburg, containing the views of those three govern. meets respecting the present state of affairs in Poland. The views expressed by the three governments, I believe, will be found very nearly identical. I should say not only that when an answer has been received, I will lay all the papers on the table of this house, but also that if there is any more delay than a few days in receiving an answer from St. Petersburg, I will lay on the table the communication which her Ma jesty's government has addressed to St. Petersburg. We are now waiting for the reply. With respect to the second question, my noble friend alluded to certain accounts which have appeared in the riewseepers. With regard to those accounts, the only intelligence that we have received which at all corroborates theses in a passage of a deepetch from the consul at Warsaw, in which he says that persons who have been taken prisoners by the Russians have been put to death without any judicial process, and I suppose by some form of courtmaxtial. As to those atrocious orders with regard to women, I cannot believe in the existence of them. We have had no authentic accounts of them, and I weld not address a remonstrance to the Russian govern- tent with respect to accounts to which we could sot attach • full credit. There have been some atrocious acts of pillage on the !art of the peasants which have been inquired into by Prince Gortchakoff with a view to convictthe guilty persons. Some persons who are suspected of committing the offence have been imprisoned and are awaiting their trial. The Russian government utterly deny having had anything to do with these proceedings. Lord BROUGHAM said that these atrocities were incl. dent to all civil wars, and they took place not only on this side of the Atlantic but on the other. He had no doubt that some of the reports were exaggerated, but that there was much foundation for than be could answer from his infor mation. He did not mean to say that the same atrocities lad been perpetrated in the contest going on io the United States which had occurred in Poland, but much had been lose there which was deeply to be lamented and strongly to be reprobated. There was, he was certain, but one feeling throughout Europe, that that civil war in America should le brought to a close as soon as possible. The subject then dropped. THE BRAZILIAN DIFFICULTY. The Earl Of ifeLiiisTCriiiV caged attention to the state at our relations with Brazil, arising nut of the demands made be this country an that power. He stated that the goveromeot of Brazil was ardently supported by the people in their resistance to the demands which bad been made. If this was the feeling of the people of Brazil, it was probable that the difference between the two countries was more serious than it seemed to be generally thought. He was of opinion that the Foreign Secretary had not made sufficient allowance for the condition of Brasil, and had suffered himself to be unduly influenced by his subordinates, while the noble lord had adopted a tone is his communications with the government of Brazil which was unbecoming, and had resorted to re prisals which wars impolitic if not illegal. Having stated the circumstances seeing out of the case of the Prime of Wales, he criticised severely the cooduct of Mr. Christie and Mr. Coasal Vereker, for having hastily adopted the most illiberal view of the facts, and having gone fez towards insulting the government of an iadepeu. goat rower. He contended that there was no proof of the murder of the crew of the British vessel in question, and that the government of Breed had done everything that was possible for them to institute inquiry and to punish such persons as had been guilty of any offence. He thought it at least doubtful whether her Majesty's government was warranted in demanding compensation, much less in pro ceeding to make reptilian oa Brazilian property. As to the ease of the °Moen of the Forte, he was of opinion that too much 'tress had been laid upon it, and it had been treated more gravely than it deserved. Earl RUSSELL said that the principle on which the government had acted was, that it was the duty of foreign governments to protect the subjects of another state within their jurisdiction. He was ready to admit the commercial importance of Brazil, but not to admit that it was sufficient to debar bar Majesty's government from eating as it had always done, rod asking for a reparation for a wrong that bad been committed. Since 1831 there had been 21 rases in which France. 22 in which Great Britain, and 23 in which the United States bad resorted to force to obtain reparation. Stating the hen relating to the ship Prince of Wales, and praising the conduct of Mr. Vereker in repairing to the spot where it was suspected the crew was murdered, he contended that the necessary inquiries were obstructed by the Brazilian authorities refusing to see justice done on officials in whom. pianissimi some of the plunder of the veiled was found. Under all the circumstances, if her Majesty's go vernment had done otherwise than they had, they would have neglected an imperative duty. He denied that the language of his despatches was overbearing. His represen tations were trifled with fee more than twelve mouth*, and therefore Mr. Christie had acted is strict conformity with his instructions, for he was not empowered to propose but only to accept an arbitration if it well offered by the Bra zilian government, which was sot done. Having used* representations ineffectually, be contended that he could not be chamed with having acted arbitrarily or precipitately. He declined to enter into the case of the Forte, which was under tlr bit= tioa BRITISH COLUMBIA. The Doke of NEWCASTLE introduced • bill with re prd to British Columbia and Vaocouver's Island. and said he would enter into ea explanation of its object on the seeped reeding on Friday next. The bill was then read a first time. The Loudon Coal and Wine Duties Bill arid the Local flovernment Supplemental Bill passed through committee. Their lordships adjourned at nine o'clock.

Viscount ENFIELD asked the Chascellor of the Ex ehtquer whether it wee tree that is • report soot in Lately ",`" E EXPV SS, SATUR A EVENING, JUNE 20, lab) *Marna. s to the Treasury, the value of the materials composing the Exhibition Buildings is there estimated at but J 0,0001., leis the cost of their pulling down cad removal, and of making good the site ; rod whether there would be any ob jeetice: to laying such report upon the table of the hones, previous to a vote being asked of 80,0001. for the purchiss of such buildings. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said his answer might be a dry negative, but as that would not be very satisfactory to the noble lord he would state what refilly had occurred. The report to which the noble lord referred was not sent to the Tressury ; nor was it an official one ; nor was it the report of any person that oould possibly have been employed by the go %raiment to make an estimate of the mov able value of the buildings. At the close of the Exhibi tion it became the duty of Mr. Bowing, the able secretary of the commissioners of 1851, to draw up • statement. which was intended to place before the government as many of the facts as were material with r , ference to the letter which the commiseioners had addressed to the government, inquiring whether they meant to renew their proposal for the purchase of the land? Mr. Bowriug sketched out roughly, and is well as be could, what he conceived they would have to pay if they carried out their object of getting possession 1 of the buildings. He stated the minimum value of the materials at 30,0001. (Loud cheers.) Hon. members bad better wait a little, be bad not dooeyet. The maximum value stated by Mr. &wring was 200,0001.—(laughter)—and so it was it some point between 30,0001. and 200,0001. that he thought the contractors would be entitled to fix their price. He cautiously added, " It is only fair to the contrac tors to say that they estimate the net value of the old mate rials at a considerably larger sum than 30,00 W. The bricks in the annexes have been sold by them et prior which if realised for the bricks in the main building, would produce a net sum of about 18,0001." He (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) must remind the house that besides the timber and glass there was the iron, a great portion of which could be used for other purposes, and would be very vain. able. The examination into the movable value of the materials made for her Majesty's government bad been carefully instituted by a professional person. The value of old materials depended in great measure upon the market that could be found for them ; and that depended in its turn upon the time at which they must be sold If the buildings had been to be pulled down as rapidly as was possible, and the old materials disposed of at once, be could not tell how low their value might sink. But the con tractors were under no obligation to remove the buildings in such haste ; and be should not think there was the slightest probability, or even possibility, that the ground could be got into a condition fit for the erection of any other structure upon it before the summer of 1/465. (" Oh, ob," and cheers.) readership had not been tilled up, so that at preset the number of officers was reduced to 17. (Hear, bear.) He further found that in the year 1775 it was directed that , all the officers should be seeferiug meu. By the fo un d a tion act it was provided that all officers should be, ea fares might i be. selected front men who had served in her Majesty's navy. But the strongest evidence was afforded by statutes . passed io the reign of George 111. Au act had bar pulsed enabling governors of Greenwich Hospital to pay out-pea rocs to seamen when they could not or did not receive them within their walls ; sod then, in 1806, another act was introduoed, to enable the governors of Greenwich Hospital I to extend some system of outdoor relief to officers as well as to seamen. The phraseology of the statute extended its provisions to "old, i n fi r m, ' wounded, and disabled " men, who could not be provided for within the walls of the hospital. Thus their claims were established by parliamentary recognition ; and they were not to be set ride or lightly dealt with. (Hear, hear.) They also had claims on the ground of their contributions to the hospital funds. They had been paying a monthly 6d. from ' their pay, like the seamen ; they had oontributed indirectly j : by the deduction of 5 per cent, from prize money ; and a • quarter of certain freightage@ was given to the hospital. The question of how far the government of the hospital should be left to the management of officers taken from the , class of wounded and infirm officers above described he would not discus. He would now allude to the improve manta which had recently been made, chiefly by the exer- i Hoes of hie boo. friend the member for Bedford (Mr. Whitbread). There had been removed from the staff of the establishment one inspector of works, one dispenser, • two commanders, and two matrons, at a saving of 1,8441. a , year, besides the apartments occupied by them. Thee there ' was a system of money allowances, in lieu of coals and candles, which had been abolished. At the same time . additional gratuities had been given to the men, at an annual cost of 10,0001., and complaints having bees made about the men taking these allowances when upon leave of absence, it wu now provided that pensioners should have four days of absence allowed them, besides six weeks' leave, once in the year, during which time they received their provision money weekly. Then the hoc member had re ferred to the seamen's widows. The maximum of their superannuation allowance was now fixed at 251. a year. A new lavatory and baths had been erected, and additional spot had been given in the dormitories. Besides this, as his noble friend (Lord C. Paget) reminded bim, they had completely relinquished the patronage they enjoyed of no mintingboys to the school Theme boys were sow admitted axording to fixed regulations. With respect to the whole 1 1 expenditure of Greenwich Hospital, he was not prepared to say that it might not be reduced. (Hear.) He thought it could. (Hear, hear.) He would compare the amount of solarise and allowances in the years 1806 and 1859. In the former year it was 14,0001. ; in the latter, 23,0001. The difference of 9,0001. between these sums was the real measure of the increase or encroachment of the establishment upon the revenues of the institution. (Hese) At the same time, he must acknowledge that some advan tages were gained. Tide expenditure was not upon the mili tary part of the establishment. (Hear, hear.) The increased expenditure was in the civil branches—upon the clerks, and so forth. There was at least this advantage, that more was got for the money ; and the irregularities which were said to have prevailed under the Remy system were now no longer possible. There was an increase of 1,0001. in rates, and au increase of between 10,0001. and 11,0001. in wages. Some persons might suppose that this increase of wages was the weak point in the mansgement of the hospital, and when he first got the returns he confessed that nothing surprised him more than to find that in an establishment containing 1,600 pensioners the number of persons receiving wages was 500. (Hear, hear.) But on inquiry he found that the explana tion was simple and satisfactory, for these wager were simply pensions ; 292 were pensioners themselves, and almost the whole of the remainder were composed of the wives and widows of seamen, who, it was felt, were entitled to share in the benefited the institution. (Hear, hear.) He was not there on behalf of the noble duke at the head of the Board of Admiralty to withdraw one word or opinion which he gave expression to when he introduced his measure ; but that measure, he was sorry to say, did not meet with such approbation as was likely to ensure its success in that ho r s, and therefore it was not brought under its consideration. The hon. gentleman said the appoirroent of Sir R. Bromley was in the teeth of the report of the commissioners. On the other baud, he maintained it wee made in the very spirit of their A:commendation. The commissioners recom mended the appointment of a financial commissioner ; and who was more fit to be placed in that position than a gentleman who had been for many years Accoun tant-General to the Navy, and whose energy, ability, and financial experience were well known to the hones and to the public? (Hear, hear.) Si, R. Bromley accepted the office on the condition that he would cony out financial reforms as far as possible, and he had every hope that the hospital would derive advantage from his experience and ability. He thought that, next to the seamen who suf fered, there was no class who had greater claims upon the country than the widows of those who 'net their lives in its "weir, and next week it would be his duty to bring in a bill in regard to that class. It was proposed by way of relief to bring the out-pensioners within the hospital. He, for one, could not court to any such arrangement, for he was of opinion that it was better that men, who whe ther by their own labour or that of their wives, or by the assistance of friends, were enabled in addition to their outdoor pensions to earn sufficient for a emu foeiable maintenance, should remain outside, than that they should be tempted within the walls of the institution. (Hear.) Greenwich should be an hospital for the infirm sad the really disabled, wbo required special care and atten dance. He could not, therefore, accept the more ambitious eohenies proposed, which he believed to be financially unsound. He was of opinion that the resources of the hospital should not he taxed to the utmost in a time of peace, and that pro vision should be reedy to meet the exigencies of a time of war. (Hear, hear.) Bearing this consideration in mind they should endeavour cautiously, but without undue delay, to give practical effect to the reforms suggested by the hon. gentleman. (Cheers.) After soineVekete, in which Sir J. Pakington, Mr. Anger stain, Sir J. Hay, Lord C. Paget, Mr. Lindsay, and other members took part, the subject dropped. The Harwich Harbour Bill, the .ioval of Irish Poor Bill, the Mutiny (East India) Act Repeal Bill, and the Local Government Supplemental Bill were passed through com mittee. The Militia Pry Bill and the Charitable Uees Bill were read a third time and passed. The luelomire Bill wi - s read a second time. The Watchmen in Towne (Ireland) Bill was withdrawn. LIBBITRN ELECTION. Mr. BAINES moved the scljournment of the house, with the view of preventing Mr. Collins from bringing forward his motion for the prosecution of John Doherty Barbour, Robert Barbour, and Morose Barbour, for bribery, treat ing, and undue influence at the late election for Lisburn. Upon a division the motion wee negatived by 142 votes to 19. COLLINS then moved that the Attorney-Generel for Ireland should be instructed to prosecute the three persons named in his notice. Mr. EVANS (the chairman of the committee) moved the omission of the name of Thomas Barbour, in whose case there was not sufficient evidence to procure a conviction. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL 000 curred in the amend ment • and The motion so amended was Kneed to. The house adjourned at a quarter to 3 o'clock. THE YELTI&TON CABS. The cause of Yelyeatou against Forbes, which is ea action of damages at the instance of Mrs. Theresa Leagworth or Yelvertoo, ageless Mrs. Forbes, widow of the late Professor E. Forbes, naturalist, also claiming to be the wife of the Hon. Major Yelvertoo, came on for hearing in the Court of Session, Edinburgh, on Thursday. The action is for libel arising out of • letter which the defender ad. droned to the Daify News, and in which she spoke of the planner in libellous terms. Mrs. Longworth or Yelverton moved the Lord Ordinary for as order oa the defender to slat • mandatory, u being furth of Scotland, The defender, on the other hand, averred that Mrs. Longworth or Yelver• ton was birth of Scotland, and moved frogs similarorder on her. Mrs. Forbes also objected to the jurisdiction of the court, in respect that at the date of the action jurisdiction had not been laid against her by arrestmenta in common form. It appeared from this diem:salon that Mrs. Long worth or Yelverton had reseed letters of eireatment prior to the institution of the summons, and had laid arrestniente in the hands of Messrs. 3lsclachlan and Stewart, booksellers, Edinburgh. Mrs. Forbes maintained that no effects were attached by that arrestment, and in consequence of that defence the pursuer, after the institution of the action, and after defences had been lodged, executed • second arrestment in the hands of the trustees of the Ministers' Widows' Fund, whereby the pursuer maintained that five years' annuities are due to Mrs. Forbes as the widow of the late professor. Mrs. Forbes to-day objected to any proof being allowed of the second arrestment, on the ground that supposing funds were arrested, which she denied, it could not affect the question, the action having been already in. stituted. She also maintained that there were no funds be longing to her in the hands of Meters. Maclachlan and Stewart. Lord Jerviawoode, at the end of the discussion, stated that the second arrestment, even assuming that it had attached funds to the defender, could not avail the ' pursuer in the present action, which was instituted long brtore such letters were used. He intimated his intension to allow • proof, both hem and is London, ea to whether I any funds were attached by the first arreetmeet in the hand of ifaclachlan and Stewart.—North British Mail. COLLINION AND WRECK IN THE RIVER.—About two o'ckek yesterday morning a serious collision took place in the river immediately opposite Blackwell pier. It appears that a powerful screw steamer belonging I. the Carron Company was proceeding down the river, when by some means, at present unexplained, she came into collision with a brig heavily laden with corn, which was being towed upwards. The bow of the steamer ran into the port main of the brig, cutting her down to the water's edge, a nd the crew with some difficulty made their escape to the opposite shore. The brig is now lying a complete wreck on the Kentish side of the river. OTBRA GLASSE% —T.

This wan a bill filed by Mr. Feebler, the lessee of the Lyceum Theatre, for an injunction to restrain thedefendant, Mr. Walter Montgomery, brim appearing (as hen impound to do) at the Frusossi's Theatre, and to restrain the de fendant, Mr. George Vining, the lessee of that theatre, from allowing him to do so. The bill stated that Mr. Mont gomery was under an engagement to the plaintiff for two years from January 1, 1863, during the lint at • salary of 7/., during the second of 101. • week. Then was no formal written contract between the patties, the engagement ap pearing only upon a letter written to Mr. Montgomery by the plaintiff's agent, Mr. Barnett, on the 28th of July, 1862, in which the terms mentioned were offend, " it being thoroughly understood that no advantage will be taken of the confidence you have reposed in Mr. Pechter." To this note Mr. Montgomery replied on the 30th of July, 1862, that he was "delighted to become the slave of Charles Fodder," for two yearn upon those terms. Early in Ja nuary last Mr. Pechter opened the Lyceum Theatre with • play called The Duke's Motto, in which Mr. Mont gomery had no part, but which had been so successful that it was understood there would be nothing brought forward foe some time in which Mr. Montgomery could appear._ Mr. Montgomery became anxious to upset before • London audience, and on the 15th inst. was an nounced in the bills of the Princess's to appear to-morrow (Baturday) night as Othello. Hence this motion for the injunction asked by the bill. Mr. Selwyn and Mr. Tyrrell were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Bsggallay , Mr. G. Hastings, and Mr. Brookshank for the defeodsnta. _ . ilia Honour entered into the circumetences of the case, and observed upon the hardship which would be imposed upon Mr. Montgomery if the Date's Motto continued to be played for many months longer, during which, upon the plaintiff's contention, he would be kept in enforced idleness. There was no bed faith on Mr. Fechtees wt., but as Mr. Montgomery had waited a reasonable time, and his object in engaging himself was not likely to be effected for some months longer, his Honour thought he was at liberty to put an end to his engagement. There would be no injunction, and the cats would be costs in the cause. (Before Stuart.) PIIMLIPIS V. Mr. Malin', Kekewich moved in this case for an order to commit the defendant to prison for contempt of court, on account of his having disobeyed an order for an injunction which bad been tamed against him. It appeared that the plaintiff was the owner of some cham bers at No. 7, New-square Lincoln's-inn, having a window looking out upon a yard belonging to the chambers, end at the back of what wall formerly a house standing at the corner of Carey street and Berle-street. That house had been pulled down and a new one reconstructed on the site; but the defendant, who bad built the new house. bad made the wall and roof of it higher than those of the former building, thereby impeding the access of light and air which the plaintiff's chambers had previously enjoyed. A n injunction in the usual form had been granted against the defendant in respect of his new house ; but as he did not obey the order, a motion was made to commit him for such contempt. Be fore that motion came on, however, he com menced pulling down the obstruction, when the motion was abandoned upon his paying the costa of it. He bad, how ever, since continued to raise the wall and roof of the house, and this second motion was therefore made to commit him acoordiogly. Affidavits in support of the motion and against it were read to the court. .

Attar Term Aitkiap at Nisi Prins.--Before Lord Chid ;kinks Cockburn and a Special Jury.) DICKSON 9. LORD COMBERNERE AND After our report left yesterday, Lieut.-Colonel Dickman deposed—l am the see and grand von of general officers, and first joined the army in 1835 in the 2nd Queen's Royals. In Seale I obtained the Crow of St. Ferdinand. lam now a magistrate for Middlesex and deputy-lieutenant of the Tower Hamlets. I joined the 2nd Tower Hamlets Militia, of which Lord Wilton is the colonel. Colonel North had been the lieutenant-colonel before I joined it. Captain O'Shaunessy was the adjutant. In 1854 the regiment was called out for training, which was the first active service alter my appointment, after it was embodied at headquarters on the 2nd March. It is under the control of the Horse Guards and the Secretary for War, and subject to the rule. and regulations of the line. Militia regiment& have honorary colonels, and then the command devolves on the lieutenant-colonel. There is a mess committee, and the colonel or lieutenant-colonel is ex officio president of that committee. Their duties are laid down in the mulation orders. The senior officer present is in command of the regiment. (The book of regulations, including that relating to the mesa, was put in, and those relating to the command of a regiment and the regulation of the MGM were read.) ' The books are required to be kept with accuracy. I maw that the wine bills were paid monthly, according to the practice of the regiments of the line, and the measman was paid with the same regularity. Them is always a mess committee, consisting of a captain and two subalterns. The captain is the president, and he generally holds it for three month., after the ex piration of which time he hands over all Waimea sod the accounts to his successor. The mess meetings vary; sometime they are held every three months, six month'', and twelve months, but the settlements of the accounts were generally done by the committee. There is no regula tion for holding mese meetings, that being a matter in the discretion of the commanding officer. Often it occurs in the line regiments that mesa accounts are not audited with regularity. The first president named for the 2nd Tower Hamlets Militia mess (though it was not established) was aiptain Cooper. Previous to our going to Woolwich there were frequent meetings of officers relative to the ordering of mess utensils. Mr. Scott, from Messrs Sharpie's, called • day or two after the embodiment of the regiment and asked for orders. Him patterns were displayed in the officers' mumbling room at Bethnal-green. Lord Wilton, Colonel North, and the other officers, were present, and looked as the patterns. Lord Wilton selected one, and it was adopted by the regiment. Mr. Scott came • second time with some samples of glass, and a discussion took place whether there should be silver or plated articles. Colonel North took part in the discussion. 1 thought it was desirable to have plated articles, and not silver, as the latter would have cost 1,2001. The glass was selected that day. Colonel North had the moat to do with that. Captains Dixon, Cooper, and Brash were present. At Woolwich we were made members of the artillery mesa. No mess was established for the 2nd Tower Hamlets till October, sad in consequence of the hospitality of the artillery it was arranged to invite a few of the officers to luncheon on the inspection day. At breakfast the matter was spoken of and decided on. The understanding was in regiments of the line to pay for the inspection luncheon out of the mess fund. The luncheon cost about 301. odd. The inspection took piece in June, and the money of the regi ment was in Captain O'Shaunessy's hands, there being no regular regimental accounts. The contributions of the offi cers were paid the same as if there had been a mess formed, sod the 251. for each company was received, and the two formed the MOH fund. In July, 1855, Lord Wilton's daughter presented the colours to the regiment, and I sug gested • luncheon, and afterwards consulted Earl Wilton and Colonel North about it. AU the officers assented to it. We calculated we should have to invite 100 of the artillery officers as a return for their hospitality, and I told Lord Wilton that as the officers did not respond to • subscription the expense would have to come out of the mem fund. Lord Wilton agreed to it and left the matter to me. I was the major at this time, and was generally in command of the agreement. Colonel North came down ocaudowally, and had a parade, and then returned to London, and was wetted lieutenant-colonel on the 4th August. 1856; end it wee then proposed to give an entertainment at the Trafal gar Hotel to Colonel North on his retirement, the expense of which was to be paid out of the mess funds. The meats for the entertainment were made by Captain Judd. The luncheon on the presentation of the colours cost 691., and the one to Calmed North 361. The total of the three was 139/. 4s. fid., being a portion of the 152/. I am charged with having mieapplied. In 1855 there was a flte at Cre mona. in aid of the funds of the Wellington College Testi monial,and 200 men of my regiment were authorised to take part in it with 200,0 f the Guards. An accident happened there which injured some of my men, and also some of their arms and clothing, and I applied to Mr. Chaim, the secretary, for compensation. The governors awarded 40/. 12a. for loss and injury to the clothes and accoutrements, and 791. for compensation to the men, to be distributed according to my discretion. I immediately called the men into square, and informed them of it. I paid the money at various times and amounts, according to my discretion, and I am prepared , to produce receipts for the disbursements of the two sums. It was deemed advisable not to pay the money at once to the men. Some were awarded 101., 51., and others 3/. each, for compensation for the personal injuries they sustained. The 401. for arms and accoutrements was not paid over, because afterwards it was ascertained that many of the ar ! tides that were supposed to be missing were in the poses.- Sion of the Guards, and were sent back to us. Little of that was expended for the purpose for which it was pail, but was given to the men who were seriously injured, for extra compensation, and a small balance remained in my bands. At Woolwich, in June, we were under canvas, and the soldiers' wives, who were living with them, were in great distress. A maternity fund was started. There was ' also a proposal in October, when we bad the huts, to form • sergeants' mess fund. I started it, sad told the men that I had asked Lori Wilton and Colonel North to subscribe to it. I received 261. each from them, to be divided between the maternity fund and the sergeants' mesa. Before I re ceived the money I gave Sergeant-Major Hallom on ac count 51. to entertain the other sergeants who had come down to the presentation of the colours. 201. I gave to Captain Cooper, who had charge of the maternity (nod, sad who busied himself about the sergeants' mess. I produce Captain Cooper's receipt for the M/., dated Bth November. The remaining 251. I gave to Captain Cooper the following day. Both sums were paid by cheque upon hoarse. Ransom and Co. On the 15th November I wrote Lord Wilton stating his subscription had been paid over to Captain Cooper. There was • report about this time that our regiment would be disembodied, and I wrote to Lord Wilton about it, observing that it would be • slur on the regiment and ea injustice to the .officers. Such, however, was not the caw, :863. and the mess was established in October, and the articles ordered of Menu. Sharpua were forwarded to Woolwich. The plated goods were brought down and chosen by the officers ; table linen was ordered by the men commit tee of Messrs. Hedge and Lowman. Major Walker was appointed after the pramintation of the colours, and just about the formation of the meas. Captain Dixon suc ceeded Captain Cooper es president of the meet, and, con tinued till the end of the year, when he wee succeeded by Captain Brash, who continued president till the regiment was disembodied in May. Captain Dixon did not hand his account over to Captain Brash, and at the mess meet ing, the paymaster not being there, and there being no accounts to audit, nothing was done. Soon after Captain Brash was president there were claims made for wine and some other article., and in consequence I had • oommuoi cation with him relative to it, and I explained my cur prise that the wine merchant had not been paid any of the money received under Captain Dixon's presidency. Captain Brash offered to sign a cheque on the agents for pay ment, if I wouldgo up to town and countersign it (sett was previously imaged that I was to countersign cheques), and I did so ; and 1501. was drawn from the agents. Fifty pounds of it was paid for wise and fifty pounds to Hodge and Low. man, and the remaining 501. I kept, at Captain Brash's request. After that 1 gave him thirty pounds odd' at Woolwich, to pay Gaisebrook, and there was • balance remaining, which was afterwards paid over to Cap tain Brash. I produce an account of all the monies I re ceived, and I pledge myself that I have disbursed more money than I received. Lieutenant Peeks, on leaving the regiment for • commission in the line, presented the regi ment with 201. One dram companies was in debt 91., and no one would take charge of it except Major Walker's see, and at his suggestion I paid the debt, and the balance was paid over after the regiment was disembodied. I was to apply the money according to my discretion. When Messrs. Sharon; cent in their bill for 56W., Lord Wilton said it was not convenient for him then to pay it, end that it must stand over. The paymaster, who was an old man, was too ill to attend to his duties. After the regiment was diem bodied, on the 27th May, I put myself in communication with Captain Brash for the purpose of winding up the accounts. (The witness was minutely examined with reference to the application, for the payment of the outstanding debts, and his connaing Lord Wilton thereon.) I told lord Wilton that the trodden disembodiment of the regiment had caused all the difficulties, and that the monthly subscription for wines had not been paid over as they ought to have been by the presidents of the mesa. I always instructed them to keep the wine account paid up. Lord Wilton said I was to keep the tradesmen quiet, end do the beet I could. His lord ship objected to the messthinp being sold, as he looked for ward to the regiment being again soon called out. He never expressed any disapproval of what I had done. I bad to pay the first merman's account under an attachment summons, he having got into difficulties. The officers de chord to give anything towards paying the expense of the mesa, but after they were disembodied Lord Wilton bad given 1001. towards it. (The witness was examined at length on • voluminous correspondence that had passed between him and his lordship on the state of the debts, and also with respect to the board of inquiry formed of junior officers belonging to the regiment appointed by Earl Wilton to investigate the circumstances of the regi ment, involving matters of minute detail.) Major Walker never asked me to bold mess meetings to inquire into the finaocial state of the regiment. Lord Wilton sent me • copy of the report, asking for explanation, and com laining there bad been but outman meeting, of the irregularity of the amounts, and the uno ex se that had been incurred. That was the first time Wilton complained. He had frequently lunched with the officers, and knew what had been had. On 27th July I replied to the report, explaining every point, and vouching for them, and at the same time I complained that the charges were made in en ungenerous and vindictive spirit, with a view to shelter the mismanagement of two presidents of the mesa committee, feeling satisfied the,. on further investigation I should re ceive commendation for what I had done for the regiment. Mmments were forwarded to Lord Wilton.lU further Maria' of the mu was adjourned. COURT OF FACREQUER.—Jmis 19. Ilittings at Nisi Print it Wortiniuster.—(Before Mr. Baron ![actin and a Special Jury.) THE RAVI. OP SHREWSBURY V. WILRENC. Mr. if;;u7ty, for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Serjeant She. and Mr. Baddeley for the defendant. This was en action of ejectment brought by the Earl of Shrewsbury against the Rev. William Wareing, • Roman cetholie clergyman, to recover possession of 170 acres of land in the county of Stafford. The defendant admitted that the plaintiff had proved hie title to the earldom of Shrewsbury and the estate' belonging to it, but disputed his right to deprive him of the property in question, which he claimed under • lease granted by the late Earl John, on god August, 1843. Mr. Mantety, in opening the case, said that by a private act, 0 George L, c. 29, the owner of the Shrewsbury estates, being in actual poesesaion, was entitled to grant leases, at the usual and accustomed rent, of lands for term, of ;ewe determinable on three lives. In 1840 the lands in question were leased by Earl John to John Fallow., at a rent of 4001. • year. In 1843 the earl obtained another act, 6 and 7 Viet., c. 78, by which be wu entitled to accept the our , render of leases granted in pursuance of the first act, and in lieu thereof to grant leases for sixty years at the same rent. A few days before this act passed, vie., on End August, 1843, Earl John granted a lease of the property held by Fallow, at 40W. a year, to the Rev. William Wareing, and three other persons, priests of the Banc* catholic church, of which the earl was himself a member, for 110 years, at an annual rent of 501. The ques tion was, whether the earl was in actual possession of the lends, so sate be entitled to grant • lupe at all ; and secondly, if so, whether it was granted for the "usual and accustomed recite," in accordance with the terms of the act of 6 Geo. 1., and the subsequent act. In November, 1852, Earl John died, and was succeeded by Earl Bertram, who wu an infant The estates then pawed into the hands of the Court of Chancery, who appointed a receiver, who con tinued to receive the 40W. a year. In 1854 Fellows got into difficulties, and a lease of the greater part of the land was granted for a certain term to his son and nephew, at an annual rent of 3601. In August, 1856, Earl Bertram died, and the present plaintiff, who was a protestant, claimed the earldom and the estates, which he ultimately MC oeeded in obtaining. The defendant then set up the lease of the 2nd of August, 1843, but the earl contended that it was void, because it was not granted in accordance with the terms of the two private acts of parliament. The evidence adduced on the pert of the plaintiff was for the most part of a documentary character, and the case resolved itself chiefly into one of law. Mr. Serjeent She., in his address to the jury, said there was no reason whatever for the suggestion that the defendant had obtained the lands improperly, because he enjoyed the rents of them during the life of the last two Earls of Shrewsbury with their full knowledge, and with their best wishes. Mr. Baron Martin, in summing up, said there was not the attest imputation on soy of the puttee. he jury then, uhder the direction of the learned judge, found that the land in question formed part of the settled estates comprised in the 6th Geo. 1., and that it was not leased by Earl John to the defendant at the usual and accustomed rent. This was substantially a verdict for the plaintiff. It is however probable that points of law upon these facts will be reared in the court above. THE ARMY IN INDIA. Colonel BYRESmice/a; Secretary of State for India bather or not it was the fact that'instructions bad been asued by the home authorities to those in India with the view of preventing officers of the Indian (now Royal) Artil lery from being withdrawn from their regiments for staff. civil, or other detached employment under the several lock governments, for which, before teing transferred under the authority of the Horse Guard', they were, by the regula tions of the Indian service, equally eligible with officers of cavalry and infantry. Sir C. WOOD mad that no instructions bad been sent out; but no doubt the tendency would be to employ fewer artil lery officers in the manner indicated by the gallant member, because there were now numerous o ffi cers of cavalry aod infantry who were unattached, whereas the services of the artillery officers were wanted with their corps. Colonel SYKES—But there is no prohibition ! Sir C. WOOD—No. THE KNOUT. Yr. SCULLY sakeiTl it . r - raa true that the Russian General Youravirff had loaned so ordinance proclaiming that the penalty of the knout would be inflicted on all Polish ladies dressed in mourning' Mr. LAYARD wished be could deny that any such order bad been Wooed, but her Majesty's goyernment bad no in formation on the subject beyond that which the hon. mem ber himself powered, namely, the telegrams which had appeared in the public printa. V:IOODiATION OF SHEEP. Sir J. C. JERVOISE asked the Secretary of ate for the Home Department whether any information could be given of the runit of experimenta as to the effect of vancinatiudon sheep, or any particulars of the professional services in exa mining sheep arriving in Irish porta, with a view of prevent ing the spread of small-pox among them, for which objects a vote of 4341. 10s. is proposed in Clue VII., Vote 14, Kneel. laneons Estimation Sir G. GREY wild that part of the money had been ex pended upon experiments, and part in the inspection of sheep arriving at the porta of Ireland.

Colossi FRENCH asked the Secretary to the Treasury if Mr. Bateman's report oa the river Shanson was to he in the heads of members this erasion? Mr. PEEL—Early Dart week. THE REVISED CODE. Mr. DUNLOP asked the Vice-President of the Com mittee of Council on Education whether, with • view to the revised code coming into operation in Scotland, the recent addition to the 52nd article, as to the deduction of salaries arising from endowment, the legal salaries of paro chial schoolmasters in Scotland were meant to be included under the provision in that addition. Mr. LO WE answered in the negative. The legal salaries of the parochial schoolmasters stood in the same position as the contribution of charitable persons, but in the heriton bad this advantage—the salaries were imposed by • respon sible public body which kept accounta for the inspection of those who were interested in them, and the burden was equally spread over the whole pariah, instead of falling, as is England, upon those only who were generously inclined, and who had to make up for the panimooy of the rest. POOR LAW RATLYG. Upon the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. HUBBARD called attention to the state of the law for rating to the relief of the poor, and moved for returns is connexion with the lJnios Assessment Committee Act. His object was to obtain returns from the various poor law unions, explaining the principle upon which deduc tions were now made, in order that some general laws might be framed on this subject. . . . Mr. HENLEY remarked that the circumstances under which deductions were mule varied in different localities, and he thought it would be extremely difficult to come to any general arrangement respecting it. Mr. VILLIERS admitted that there were many anoma lies in the present system of rating, bat concurred with Mr. Henley as to the di ffi culty of settling the principle upon which deductions were to be made. It was desirable to have the fullest information on the subject, but he doubled if, when it was obtained, any satisfactory conclusion could be arrived at. If possible. however, he would furnish the returns moved for before the end of the session. The motion was then withdrawn. GREENWICH HOSPITAL. Mr. LIDDELL rose to call attention to the report of the Royal Commission upon Greenwich Hospital, presented to parliament in May, 1860 ; and to inquire what were the intentions of the government in respect to carrying out further the recommendations of that commission, either by a bill to amend the law relatiug to Greenwich Hospital, cc by regulations of the Board of Admiralty. Mr. STANSFELD rejoiced that the boo. member bad at leogth found an opportunity of bringing this important sub fact before the house. He agreed that the report of the commission of 1860 war a most valuable and suggestive document. The government had already acted upon many of its suggertioca, but he was not prepared to say on their behalf that they could accept those suggestions in their entirety or in their details ; for , referring to the questions raised by the hoe. gentleman, there were two prelimmary points on which be must say a few words. The first of these had reference to the original intention of this great national in stitutiou, and how far tact intention bad been departed from. The wooed preliminary question was as to the military establishment of the hospital, as to which he would con sider how far it was true, as some bad supposed and said, that the encroachment of this military establiehment, more especially of late rears, bad diverted or perverted the funds of the institution from their original objects. (Hear, hear.) He had uo desire whatever to make out a case against the case and the arguments of the hon, gentle man ; he even thought the facts he was about to allege would somewhat strengthen his case. The first document with which they had to deal was the charter of King William 111. in 1694. Then came the statute of the 7 an d 8 William 111. c. 21, for the increase and encouragement of seamen. Under this act he did not dispute that all seamen, including merchant seamen, were within the benefits of the institution. Lastly came thestatute of Anne, placing the fund I %Leder the control of the Lord High Admiral. And here for the first and only time was mention made not only of the wives and children of seamen, but of the widows of sea wen slain or drowned in the service of the crown, as par ticipators in the clarity. Thisl act was passed in 1703: the hospital was not opened till 1705. New be would venture to call this Act of Queen Aone the foundation deed of this . . great naval charity 3' and the true construction to be; pat upon it be thought was this—that upon the eve of the opening of this hospital it appeared to be desirable to extend the scope of the institution, and leave it to the discretion of the Lord High Admiral to decide how far, with reference to the claims upon the institution and its funds, within these extreme limits, its benefits might be practically carried out. He now came to the second preliminary ques tion, that of the military character of the institution. This was a question of facts and dates. The hospital was opened in 1705. One yeer previously the office of governor was CIPILied ; and the °thaw lieutenant govemoc, one captain, and two lieutenant. were also filled up. In 1705 another lieutenant was added, who had 100 pensioners ; and thus six 081:4111 were upon the establishment. In 1728 there were added or captain and one lieutenant, and thus they bad 8 oaken and 450 men. In 1748, two lieutenants were added ; and the number of offieers was 10, and of pensioners 1.000. Is 1733 a captain was added, making 11 officers with 1,300 pensions,,. l• 1760 there were added two lien tare* making 1,783 Pensioners and 13 omen ; and in 17117 on. captain more was added. The number of pen down was 1,783, and of officers 14. From this date, 1787, till 1840, no change en the establishment took place. Is the latter year a commission at upon our naval and mili tary ho•pitala, of which the Duke of Wellington was a member. That oninliliallloo reported that in their opinion the commanders bad some just ground of complaint, that they . were excluded from the benefits of the institution and in 1840, the .stsbliahment was inareased to its maxi mum of 20 officers upon the military list. la the , moat year, 1883, two lieutenaacies and one tom- THE POLICE COURTS. WESTMINSTER. A shabby-looking woman, who gave the name of Anne Mitchel, was placed at the bar before Mr. Sane, charged with the following robberies : kn. Jane Ruslitirook, of 37, Marsbam.street, beerhouee. keeper, said—Prisoner came ioto our house on Thursday afternooo and misted for half • pint of beer. The very moment 1 west to the bar where the prisoner was standing missed a pint pot I had seen there just before, and asked her for it, and she directly produced it from under her shawl, and 1 mentioned my former biases. Mr. Selfe—What were they! Prosecutrix—l bad two poi,' taken on Thursday, and this woman bad been into my house, another was stolen from my house on Tuesday. and I loot one last week. Whea this woman produced the pot from under her shawl, I gave her into custody. There was • quantity of metal such as these pots are made of found in her room, and all them cans. Promcutrix pointed to a long string of publicans' ono which the police had placed upon the court table. A policeman said he was called and took the prisoner fee stealing the pot, and then went to her address, where he found the cans produced. It was clear that one had had pewter melted in it. Prisoner—l did it through distress. Mr. SeUe—What was found upon her? Policeman— Seveopence halfpenny. Mr. Sella to priaouer—llistress did not make you have all these publicats' cans in your possession, or steal that pot, with sevenpence in your pocket Prisoner— I took the cans to get water in. Mr. Selfe—l fear you had them for another object. Yoe are committed to hard labour for three months. CLERKENWELL. - - - The driver of an omnibus, fa the employ of Mr. Piggott, who is running some omnibuses on the Holloway-read, was charged with wilful misbehaviour, and assaulting= Perfect, a conductor in the employ of the Lond on Omnibus Company. Mr. Thomas Beard attended for the prosecution ; and Mr. Lewis for the defence. From the evidence of the complainant, which was ma- I firmed by seven.' respectable witnesses, it appeared that on I Saturday, the 13th lost., about 25minutes pest three, he was riding on the step of his omnibus, • three-horse one, coming from the Nag's Head along the Holloway-road. The defen- I dant's omnibus was following till they reached the cab rank opposite the King's Head. When the defendant got to the other eod of the mulch° pulled across the road and trie' d to get ahead of the company's heroes, and in doing so his mar fore wheel ran over the company's off-horse's fest. The defend. ' ant pulled up and would, not go on, sad on the complainant asking him to move he only received • volley of abuse, sad was told to mind his own business . Being fearful that an accident would occur, the complainant took hold of the de fendant's homes, on which the defendant severely lashed him with his whip and broke his hat. There was plenty of room for the defendant to pea without creasing the cow- plaiaant's omnibus, and he cried out sot to impede the pro- greys of the company's omnibus. Witnesses were then called for the defence, but they only proved the are tee the complainant. ' Mr. D'Eynceurt said it was • clear case of wilful mist• haviour, and hoed the defendant 40.. Had he been mum. mooed in another way he certainly should bays heed the defendant . . —. Z. Beard said it was a pm case, and asked for own. Mr. D'Eyneourt, in 'alum to the 40s. penalty, ordered the defendant to pay 11. 3a. costs, or in default to go t p prison for a month. The boa and costa were at once paid. Henry Wright, aged 25, who described kinaelf se 4 4 engineer, residing at :t, Market-place, 3t. Patireroad, Cy. t . den-town, wee charged before Mr. d'hyncourt with attempt. ing to commit suicide by throwing himself into the Begat., Canal at York-road. St. PiTsrl6. Policelc;;;Lle Gotts, I'M 8, said that on the proviso morning, between the boors of 1 and 2 o'clock, his attention was called to the prisoner loitering near the Canal-bridge in the York-road. lie saw him mount the parapet, and as in the act of tbrowiog himself off, he caught him and pulled him down. The prisoner appeared very excited, and a Irak the worse for hquor, but as he promised to go Lome, L e allowed him to do so, and followed him for some distance. A short time afterwards, on passing near the tame spot, he again maw the prisoner clambering up the wall on to th e parapet, and although he hastened to the spot, he was on!, putt in time to prevent him from throwing himself into the water. The pneooer said on the way to the police swim that be did not care what became of him, as he was tired of [ his life. _ The prisoner said it was all folly to suppose for see Manual that he should attempt to commit suicide by Um., lag himself into the water, for he was a very expert slim. mer. He did not know what made him mount the parap e t. without it was that when a boy he used to amuse himself by jumping from the bridge into the water. He might be lima of his life, but he should never make away with his his by drowning. The constable stated that on the way to the police court the prisoner said that he intended to destroy himself, and if he was discharged by the magistrate he would kill himself. j Hr. lYEynoourt said, as the prisoner when sober had threatened to murder himself, he should remand him until Thursday next, end in the meantime the police had tette make inquiries ►bout him. The prisoner, who looked very wild, and in an excited . state, was then removed.

COTTON GOODEL—Mnsicamitim, Jons 19.—The yam market to•day has continued to exhibit the same quietness of toile which wee experienced on Tuesday. There is no particular demand for any quarter, and what business has been effected to-day has consisted of very limited sales for various markets, including the home trade. The small wale on which business is doing has a tendency to deprese pekoes. Many spinners, being well engaged, continue to exhibit a good deal of indifference about orders at anythiup ander full prices, but others being in a less fortunate posi tion, are lees firm, and consequently there is some irrespo• larity in the rates at which some descriptions of yarn may be purchased. In cloths also there is so change worthy of notice since Tuesday. There is se absence of demand which causes the market to be very fiat, but it is not worse they at the commencement of the week. There is no general tiling way in price.. On the contrary, most manufacturers, well under order, are indisposed to give way, but iliu m u there are some of them who exhibit more anxiety to sell than others, the tendency is to lower rates. In other wards, sellers in same cases will take lower rates rather than act sell, though they are unwilling to acknowledge the fact.
