The necessity of passing every question through several hands before it is put, and of waiting until an officer has written down both the question and the answer, is tedious and trying. After all, however, this is a mere waste of time. But the manner of conducting the trial is a more serious affair. Public justice demands that the trial should be conducted according to law. But the decisions of the Court upon some of the points submitted to them have been so singular, that it may be interesting and curious to point them out. Let it not be supposed that in doing so we desire to prejudge the case of Colonel Caavristr, or even to throw any reflections upon Sir G. Wentz's/ay and his colleagues. Military officers, like the majority of mankind, are impatient of technical rules of law, and ignorant of them even if they desire to follow them. Theoretically, no doubt, the mem bers of a court-martial seem to be bound to follow these rules, end the presence of the Deputy Judge-Advocate to advise the official prosecutor, and of counsel to advise the prisoner, is almost an admission of the theory that ought to be ad hered to iu practice. But it is evident that the Court have considerable doubts upon the point, if indeed they do not claim a right to override the ordinary rules which prevail in courts of law. On one occasion at least the President has declared, " We are here bound " to decide according to understanding, and so " cording to the customs of war. We cannot be " bound by the nice technicalities of the civil " law." If this theory be correct, it is difficult to understand the reason which has induced the Court to tolerate so many legal objections, or to waste so much time in hearing them debated. If this theory is not correct, it is obvious that the President of the Court• Martial practically admits his ignorance of legal principles, and this admis sion proves the necessity of providing a court martial with an assessor whose opinion should be binding in legal questions. If the Court-Martial has a code of law of its own, let the President dispense with legal discussion ; if it has no such code, let him be allowed to ascer tain the rules of evidence from some educated lawyer, and be compelled to follow them. But, unfortunately, during the present trial the Presi dent has followed neither course. A mass of evi dence his been admitted which is obviously irrele vant, and at last the Court have adopted a course in one particular instance which is strangely in consistent with either theory. It may be remembered that some days ago Assis tant-Surgeon BanNerr was called to give evidence as to the cause of LILLEY'S death. He produced a report in the addendum to which it was stated that be had ascertained from inquiries that LILLEY had taken a certain quantity of brandy. It is well understood to be against the rules of evidence to ask Dr. Banearr from whcm he obtained this in formation. But unfortunately the surgeon was permitted to answer the question, and his reply was that ho obtained the information from Mrs. LILLEY. What was the consequence I By a ruse of the prisoner's counsel, Mrs. LILLE; the deed wife, was as it were summoned from the grave to destroy the character of her dead husband, through the mouth of the assistant-surgeon. Of course, the prosecutor objected to this sharp practice. He protested against it at the time, and a day or two after he desired to recall the as sistant-surgeon in order to ascertain the exact words which Mrs. Litiry used wheu she told the , His Excellency Count Apponyi returned to the Austrian Embassy cm Thorsdiy evening, from visiting the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury, at Hatfield Rouse, Berta.

Emile de Girardin to Lord Rus sell. I have run through it hurriedly, and, but for the signature, should have dismissed it as a col lection of words utterly unworthy of notice. But M. de Girardin is a journalist of very great talent, and although I think that, at the present moment, lie is playing the part of a charlatan, I cannot for ' get that on many occasions he has done yeoman service to the cause of liberty, by exposing abuses with a courage and an ability which dis tanced all his contemporaries. He has chosen to take up breast high the Emperor's pro ject of a congress, and he says that the English journals which write against it must be defi cient either in " ideas or independence." He con cludes his letter with poor humour, by assuring Lord Russell of the "indignation" with which he has the honour to be his obedient servant. I will not positively undertake to say that in all the long lucubration there may not be something worth quoting ; and very possibly some of your contemporaries may make extracts from a letter written by a man of M. de Girardin's ability to a man of Lord Russell's rank and consideration. I will, however, not be the first to give importance to what I regard as a shallow mystification. M. de Girardin, disgracing better antecedents, writes now in the style of the worst Greek sophists. He is the type of an idle rhetorician described by an English satirist.— A rumour is current that Charleston was shelled on the 22nd inst., and is now on fire. Grant reports as follows from Chattanooga on the evening of the 24th inst. : "Sherman carried the end of Missionary Ridge to-day. His right is now at the tunnel, and his left at Chickamauga Creek. Troops from Look out Valley carried the point of the mountain and hold the eastern slope and the point high up. " Hooker reports 2,000 prisoners taken, besides a small number fallen into our hands from Mis. sionary Ridge." General Thomas confirms this report.

Yesterday (reports Mr. W. Cubitt, the hon. secre- tary of the National Lifeboat Institution) we were visited with a terrific gale of wind from the N.W., accompanied by • very heavy serf on shore. A meal was observed par. log the oout with lose of now sod unmanageable, and about 1 p.m. she went oa shore about a mile to the math. ward of Haaboraigh Lower Lighthouse. The Barton life boat of the National Lifeboat Institution was launched to the assistance of the shipwrecked crew, and bore away under mail for the wreck, which was five miles distant. On nearing the vessel they foiled that the Palling and Hat boro' coastguardsman were firing rockets over her to effect a communication, but owing to the fury of the storm they could sot succeed in their endeavours. In the acanthus the lifeboat rapidly approached the reseal, and anchored within 50 fathoms of her. She then dropped down under the vessel's stern, and after moth difficulty got alongside to leeward, and succeeded in rescuing the master, the pilot. and twelve of the crew. The mate, who was under the in. doemse of liquor, seemed bent upon his own destruction, and could not be induced to leave the ship, although the boat was kept alongside until the mainmast threat mad to fall on it. The wretched man was repeatedly urged to ease into the boat, but without avail. The men were then forced to slip the cable of the lifeboat, and after wards reached the shore, all safe, but thoroughly drenched. The vessel proved to be the barque Ins, of North Shields, bound to Carthage's', with coals and coke. This is the first heavy gale in whirls the lifeboat haa been out noder caw, amidst the surf, and she behaved so well, that the crew are delighted with her. At 9 pm. Users was still a fearful sea on, and not a vestige of the vessel was to be seen, ea she had gone to pieces. Had the lifeboat bees one hoar later in reachiog the wreck, the probability is that every soul on board must have perished. SOUTHPORT, FarDAT NIGHT. At daylight this morning (writes Captain Babe, R.N.), during • strong westerly wind, • large vessel was seen aground on the Mud Wharf Sandbank, near Formby. The coxswain and crew of the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution at this place at coos proceeded to Ainadale, where the boat had been left so the previous evening. The lifeboat was then transported three mile* further aloeg the coast, and launched to the assistance of the distressed sailors. Oa arriving alongside the vessel it was found that the captain had cut away the foremast, ad was in the act of cutting the mainmast away. Eight of the vessel's crew immediately jumped into the lifeboat; but the remainder were prevented from doing so by their captain. As there was great danger of the mainmast being cot away and falling on the lifeboat, she was compelled to cat off and make for the shore, where she safely landed the eight men. The Formby lifeboat was after. wards seen making for the wreck, which had again hoisted signals of distrait She succeeded ia taking off the remainder of the shipwrecked crew. The vessel oared to be the American ship David White Clinton, of New York, bound to Liverpool. The coxswain of the lifeboat stated that the captain of the ship was very drunk 011 the occasion. The Southport lifeboat was also Lunched yesterday to the assistance of the schemer Virago. of Glasgow, w hi ch had grounded on the Trunk Hill Sandhauk, about a mile from this place. It MS blowing a perfect hurricane at the time. The lifeboat wee ooaveyed along the shore abreast of the vessel, and launched through a tremendous surf. Whoa within a hundred yards of the distressed vessel, several of the oan were broken like so many matches, and the lifeboat was therefore com Tiled to return to the shore without accomplishiog her WOMB mission. The vessel afterwards drove over the asisdisiak and grounded on the mainlaad, sod the crew were fortunately enabled to reach the shore. The Formby lifeboat had also attempted to pat off pater. day to the assistance of • barque, but had failed tone& bor. The vessel's crew, however, landed at low water in safety. SWANSEA, FRIDAY num. The gale continued here with unabated fovea, sad the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat lostittaion has bees of rod service in rescuing the crew of eight men of the barque T>uke of Northumberland, laden with copper ore, which was on shore at the entrance of our harbour, and which the lifeboat had remained aloupide of for emu time, with the view of saving the crew, if required.

In the fury of the gale a lugger's crew were ob served to be flying signals of distress. The lifeboat was instantly launched, and notwithstanditg the utmost efforts of the chief officer of coastguard and the crew, it took them nearly an hoar, in face of the heavy sale and high sea, to fetch the vesseL She was the lugger Vigilant, of the Isle of Man, and was rapidly becoming unmanageable. The lifeboat put four hands on board to assist the crew, who were quite exhausted. The logger war afterwards got under weigh, and subsequently brought safely into port. In the absence of the lifeboat the poor men must have perished. CARNARVON, FainAT NIGHT. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution at Llaodirgo, near this place, rescued yesterday during a hurricane four men from the schooner Maria, of Ambercb, from London to that port. The wreck had got on a sand bank in Carnarvoo Bay. This moroing the gale continued, and the schooner Henry Russell, from Glasgow to Marseilles, was seen io Carnarvort Bay with a signal of distress flying.

On nearing the sandbank a vessel was observed thereat. She proved to be the schooner Margaret and Jane, of Dublin, to ballast. The crew of five men were immediately taken on board the lifeboat and afterwards safely landed. The boat behaved admirably on the occasion. PENARTFI, FRIDAY NICHT. During a heavy gale of wind yesterday the ship Jupiter and barque Elliege came in collision in Penarth Roads, with signals of distress flying. The lifeboat of the National Life. boat Institution put off immediately, and remained along. side until the vessels cleared.

N.,repoits :—" Yesterday afternoon. durum • heavy gale of wind, signals of distress were heard from the Gull Stream Light vessel, indicating a vessel in distress. At the same time a vessel was observed dragging her anchors, and driving towards the Goodwin Sands. The coxswain of the lifeboat of the National Institution at this place immediately mustered has crew, and launched the boat. When near the vessel the crew were observed in their long boat making for a Kinpdown which was near the vessel, but unable to go alongside. The coxswain of the lifeboat thought be heard cries proceeding from the vessel, and managed to book on her, but found some on board but a poor dog, from which the cries had proceeded. The lifeboat then made sail, and after having been afloat eleven hours arrived here. The crew wets quite exhausted and almost perished with cold. The vessel proved to be the galliot Cornelia, of Hanover. Her crew of four men were safely landed at Kingsdown by the lugger Dauntless, of that place." LYTHAM, LANCASHIRE, FRIDAY Nicer. A message arrived here soon after daylight this vial* from Southahore, a distance of mix miles along the coast. with intelligence that a vessel was sunk off that place, arid that the gale was so violent and the sea so heavy that none of their boats, being only ordinary open boats, could with safety approach to her. and requesting that the Lytham life boat of the National Lifeboat Institution might be sent. The request was promptly attended to, and the lifeboat proceeded at once to the scene of the wreck. On arriving, however, at the sunken vessel, none of her crew could b e found, a nd they had doubtless all been washed overboard and had perished during the frightful storm of the previous night. The vessel is supposed to be the John, of Liverpool. as a small board with that inscription upon it has c ollie ashore in the vicinity of the wrack.
