He was, theref,s= to say what arreageseent wee come to between Mr. Scott Hassell sad Mr. Campbell. He understood, however, that Mr. Scott Ramell maid appoint men to the engines. By Caritas Roberessa—He certainly uodentood that the Mr.lt of the mere for the Inp was in the bands of luseell. sod Meson.

Mr. John Arnett was thee called, and boring been motioned by the coroner against oommitting himself, was examined by Captain It - Amnon. He paid he was chief engineer on board the Great Eastern under Mr. M'Lennan, la charge of the paddle engines.

Os going down the river he wee sever on deck to as. it the steam was escaping above, and he did tot notice whether it was escaping into the stoke hole. The ctcb were too sod to he turned by hand, and could only be turned by • epanner. Believed that after the explosion both cooks were found closed. Was aware of no advantage which would re sult from the clewing of the cotes, but to the contrary. By Mr. Lanka —Dre't know that it wee the duty of say peewit M particular to go round and manias the cocks. They ought *lmp to be left open after haring been once set right.

Borealis*& he asked se to pass the word slung, and sometimes he did so himself threagh Mr. Resell, on the 'ridge. One of the reasons which induced a to consider Mr. Rumen in charge of the engleseens the fvot of hie giving the orders from thebridge. Of course Ka i Rowell wpilid naturally be anxious for the proper working j hr. By Mr. teverson—l don't know whether the last trial of the engines Lifers leaving was under the directions of Mr. Brunel. The other trials were certainly not under the company s directions. I complained of the first being dome, as it dragged my moorings. All the trials were made by Mr. Russell's engineers. I had only one engineer on board the ship, and he was not in charge. The eoginee have bean started four times. After the trial on the Wednenley pre vious to starting the engine were not delivered up to the company, but Mr. Russell's engiceers continued in charge. Bias the 6th of August to the starting of the ship Mr. Rus sell haa had a great many men at work on the ship. The Curette thought these were matters with which the I jury had nothing to do. Mr. lemma contended that it was most important to ' eseertaie whether the contract hid been completed, and he proposed to put in the contract itself to show that it was not. Captain Robertson—The only difficulty in my mind—and we have been endeavouring to settle it all this morning—is as to who was really in charge and responsible fur the machinery. The jury entirely concurred with Captain Robertiou. Examination resumed—Durlog the pimp the pilot wished to go astern with the peddles and ahead with the mew. Mr. Remelt demurred, salts, he would rather go ahead with the paddles and astern with the screw. Mr. Sera was applied to becalm he was en the t ridge. If Mr. Sewell had not bean en the bridge I should Item given I the order myself. Mr. Itessell was es the bridge working the telegraph to both engines. If Mr. Buseell bed not been there I should have had two of say OEMS to work the N Mr. Russell eal the engines were both stopped at the time be demurred, and were set in a certain order which would have occupied time to have changed. Captain Robertson said he did not know how ell this could prove whether or not Mr. Reason was le chirp of the an glers. Examination oontieued—lf the steam from the stand pips had overflowed it might have found its way through the nee ruing, bat could not have got into the lisping cabins. Even if it went through all the casings it could not here gone lam the sleeping eabins. Mr. lamest told me he should nut re commend the directors to tads the scenes rlf Mr. Russell's beads until he could get a greeter speed out of them this bad been attained in the Themes. The chairman told me the same thing. By Mr. Newman—Mr. Russell wee not present. By Ur. Leverson—l eteolltet the pilot ordering the peddles to he driven faster, as the screw was overrunning the peddles. In all the trial trips I have seen the engines hare been tested at full speed before they were &septet. It never occurred to me to apply to any one except Mr. Russell to drive the engines foster. Mr. Remit referred me to no one else. I 4, not know that any arrangement was come to between Mr. Martell and Mr. Blake as to the relative speed of the different engines. Mr. Lawson—The engines were never drives at fall speed. They were not sufficeently immersed to have res • it safe. If the ship had been under my cheep I should certainty not have allowed Mr. Blake and Mr. Rumen to have come to an arngement in retertees bathe working ale rate of speed. I= re did not coosider Mr. Rummell responsible to me for the proper execution of the orders. If I had been in formed that Mr. Russell was merely a voinntert, lending h's assistance for the benefit of the company, I would act have allowed him or any other person, excepting my own cfliro, to occupy the putties he did. I ant acquainted with the terms el part of the contract between Mr. Russell and the company. In my judgment, the ship is not yet completed sesedieg to the cootrect. Mr. Neermsa—The onlystimilation in it le that the engines should be worked four times before the start. By Mr. Newmte•—The steering •pparTtns was worked by Captain Comstock, en Autorican captalo, in the absecce of my encore et ley request. By Cssehn ]> —The contracts for the screw an glers and for the paddle 'newts are different. Mr. Newman—A trial et rea le required In Moulton end Watt:a oceetrsot and not in the other. At thi. Nap of the inquiry an adjournment took place for s boor, and the jury had not rereentrobled when our parcel was despatched. THE VERDICT.

Of course the gentlemen are heavy losers, the winntr being scarcely thought tit by the majority of speculators, end it is even averted that Sir Charles Mork astir once supported him le the market for • shilling. Taking into account that something must have berm taken out of Defender by his race ea Wednesday, and hie being so tar diasppoirood dendining the etruggle that he lied to go from the right to the let of the two frvuttritee when getting to the front, my "outsider" did nut disgrace me, and had he been kept quiet ha might hare broken the c hains winch appears to hang over the Whitewall stable whenever the St. Leger favourite, are beaten.

Still there was a total absence of complaint, and the gamine opinion appears to be that the St. Lager settling will beam parstively harmless.

Towards the close of the afternoon speculation was resumed en the Newmarket events and the Derby. Per the Cesareetch Stakes Royal Sovereign—who bad been backed la the City during the morning at 100 to 6—advanced to 16 to 1, wh il e Pole Star, who shuns forth last week at Doncaster se first favourite, re ceded to 20 to 1. Then was very little betting on the Cam bridgeehire, bat Volta was in some demand. limy inquiries were made reoymting Umpire foe the Derby, and some conversation took place es to his quaker tion for this ram, for a rumour has been lately afloat that he was entered without being properly described. In order to set the matter at mat we deem it expedient to entreat the following official summoning from one Racing CA:O4W : Doubts baring Lieu sapwood se to the qualification of Umpire for the Derby 1000, Y armequenco of his being en tered for that rime by his same we beg to see that such nomination is quite anardent, the bone been" been en tered at the mute time for the Newmarket Biennial Stake, 1660-61, with a fall pedigree,—Pee Rule 13 commits' horsmodag la general.

"My attention Levin been called to the fr. qu enc y of the punishment of the lash at Woolwich, I deem it my duty at cam to inform yon, that immediately atter the meeting of perlienseat I shall being the matter before the home." The following letter, which elicited much applause, was read from Mr. Bright, M.P.: I SIG opposed to the system of ft >gging in the army and navy.

Why, it he were to be found on Woolerich•oonnoon, in the set of inflicting punishment upon a horse with that instrument (holding up tin lash), he should be very properly apprehended, taken before a magistrate, and fined or itupthoned, under the Cruelty to Aaiun& Act, and yet this was the degrading puetatunent mid to be mammy to pinned disciplioe in It. army. The speaker than combatted numerous arguments urged In favour of corporal punishment, and resumed hie seat amidst cheers.

Not oily was the system barbarous, but totally inetlicient, and the re.introduction of the lash on en extensive =ale would, he sincerely hoped, bong about its entire abolition. The Rey. Dr. Hzuterr (coagragational minister of Islington) observed be had recently conversed with an t fllcer of the Royal Navy, who condemned the system of flogging, and cormidered that its enters abolition would bean advantage to the service. Not only was the *James cruel sod uncecessery, but in the highest degree impolitic. He would ask. was this the time, when we required sa accession to our land end marine fame., to hold out to the recruit the prospect of being lacerated with each an instnunent of torturre se that which be hell in his head. Why, how Wetly these instruments would look in the cape cf the recruiting sergeants. (Cheers.) Such punish ment was degrading to humanity—tended to loser the moral lane of the army—end the increased intelligence of the age loudly nailed fur its abolition. What was required was to M ame, the comforts of the soldier, to provide toe his intellec tual and morel culture, and to prove to him that when he entered the army he wee not required to give up the attri butes of humanity, and to sink to • condition below the brute creation. He earnestly desired to see the entire abolition of the degrading lags, and resent events had so aroused the people of this country, that the subject would certainty be considered by the House of Commons early during the next 08 0 0 n. . _ _ Th.:resolution was then unanimously adopted, and the Rev. Cies notate obegeyed that, so he raw a large number of the Royal Artillery prefect, he would take that opportunity of ming that, in him opinion, they had f merited a wime dis cretion In obtaining from any applause or otherwise during the proceedings. Tb. Rev. J. M'Cue, incumbent of St. Jernee's Church, Plurngtead, moved the next mutation :—" That this meeting driers to express thanks to the editors of the boil, New. and other daily journals fur so nobly defending the principle, of humanity by their talented denunciatitm of the system of dogging re now practised in the rimy rad navy of thin country." In his opinion the great Hung of the military and naval service was the red-taps worm, which introduced Peel( into the very intestines of the state, and prevailed these reforms which were needed. It we. a well-known fact that this averagernam which .11 e®, lent soldhr cost nal Item wan lOU , and when the enormous number of desertions was con sidered it wig obvious the something was MKS" to the peusgat system. The use of the lash had a demoraliaing tendency, which had ben productive of the worst result,. Formerly, the regiment. of Life Guards and Royal Artillery were recruited by men who brought with them certideates of good character, end at that time it was considered an honour to belong to those corp.. Stuely It would be better in all regrets that a rural who meted the lull should be kicked out of the service rather than be allowed to remain to con taminate those w►o would otherwise remain good soldiers. The rev. gentleman concluded an excellent address by al luding to the inceselty for . varions refuting in the army. Mr. FORDISAII seconded the motion, which war adopted. It was then resolved that a j etition tn raltawent In favour of the objects of the meeting, and aigord by the chairman, be forwarded to Alderman Seleuenna, td.P., and alter a vote of thanks to the clubman, the meeting separated.
