THE VIEWS TAKEN OF THE WAR IN THE UNITED STATES. We (Daily News) have been favoured with the fol lowing aztieet of a private letter from ose of the oldest and wealthiest firms in the United States. At this moment it possesses interest of deep impor tanos: Nsw YoaK, JAR. 2. In our °Erdal correspondence I recently had occasion to advert to the state of feeling in this country is regard to Ragland and France, as respects the war with Ramie.

We view the present coldest as having important hearings on civil and religious liberty, which we know the Czar bates. I have it from good authority, that well informed penons in Turkey think there is no doubt he was ladated to begin the present war from seeing the emelt of the efforts of British and Americas missionaries on the population of Turkey, chiefly that portion of the pope. Wien who profaned corrupt Chnstiaaity. Yea may rely upon it there is a deep sympathy with Ragland is this war among our people, and U the day should ever eons that the other powers are arrayed against her, this feeling would he manifested. I doubt, if she was likely to be endengered, if this country could be kept quiet' The Anglo•Bazon race are destined to control the wadi (sot by filiburtering aggression, which I abhor), and Ms Ball and his son Jonathan united may defy all the powers,on earth.

Within a few days precious to the sailing of the last steamer from Europe, hostile articles had appeared in the Paris Cometsesdionrwl, and in the London MUM, evidently penned by writers crammed full of senseless prejudice, and utterly destitute of any correct data upon which to found an opinion concerning the sentiments of our eitilens.

The concession of England and France was meant as prefatory to a still more definite recognition; but both of those powers had so long clung to the monopoly system of the old navigation laws that they were ashamed to abandon instantly what they had stickled and even fought for so long. Bog land, especially, would have esteemed it a sacrifice of dig nity to avow that halt the wars she bad waged within • century were in behalf of a false doctrine. Yet she is none the lase sore to perceive that two other great powers have outstripped her in the race of liberal principles.

Another of the wounded had received • bullet in his• toes, which had posit:Med his foot, and same out at the instep. Several Russian trophies are in the _possession of the Ines.

It was a the Greek l anguage, giving a military history of the Peninsular war. Whilst the Rev. Rector Campbell and the other members of the select vestry were inspecting the wards oa Tuesday, a velvets of the 4th regiment, wounded in the chest, and who wore a flohnon medal, advaaced towards them, and said," Gentlemen, we thask the citasesa of Liverpool for the landaus. we have received since our arrival here, with nil our hearts. It has quite sheered up our hearts to bad that we were received so well by our countrymen ; and it will be the means of exciting others that are now in the field, when they corns to hear of the kindness done to us, to exert themselves with all their might in the defence of their oountry." This manly and straightforward address woo applauded by the men, and wall expressed the gratified', they all seemed to feel. The men were also unanimous io their praise of the surgeon who attended them from Malts, Mr.' W. P. Pinkerton, 11. D , and his medical assistant. Athough the building in which the sick and wounoed men were accom modated is a workhouse, it is one of the most extensive and best arranged establishments in the kingdom, and they could not for a moment have supposed that they were at all de graded or neglected by being placed in such quarters. We stated in our Tuesday's publication that the contractors of the new words had fitted up the premises. This is an error. The poor inmates of the establishment volunteered their services for the purpcee, and prepared the rooms with the utmost alaeeity and promptitude. Amongst the horses brought by the Cambria were five which had seen active service in the Crimes, and belonged to Lord Cardigan. The animals are put up at the stabl. s ot Kenn. Laces. Ronald, a thorough-bred chesnot gelding, sad a powerful looking animal, is the horse which his ldrd ship rode at the three engagements of Alma, Balsklava, and lakertason. The other four bones consist of two bay geldings and two cheroots, and exhibit great muscular development. Since their arrival here • considerable num ber of gentlemen have Tufted the stables to gratify their curiosity an looking upon animals that have played so im. portent a part in mazy bloody eneounten. It is very re markable that not one of the horses has received a magic wound. The invalids speak in the most grateful terms of the ears and kindness shown towards them by the crew and officers of the stems ship Cambria. One of them said, " 1 have been on board many Mips, bat never in one where greater kindness was shown to the men." It appears that the Cambria was told off to tow the Sri ' tennis frigate into action. The crew were proud of the offer, but they made • demand to the effect that it they enraged in such service they ought to have the came pay and privileges es the men of the fleet. The request was considered a reasonable one, but from some cause or other the Cambria was not employed in that service. She was appointed, however, to pick ap any of the vessels which might be disabled. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES.—A general meeting of the magistracy of Middlesex was held day, at the Bessions-hosse, Clerkenwell-green, Mr. Pownall presiding. The report of the committee for ac. counts, &c., after alluding to one or two mitten cf little importance, treated upon the large excise (amounting to 14.686 L 16e. 11d.) of the county stxpeaditure for the year over that of the year preceding, an excess to be attributed to an increased number of prisoner*, and a great advance. in the contract prices of provisions and stores. A county rate of id. in the pound, and a lunatic asylum rate of id. in the pound for the nest quarter were agreed to. The report was adopted. A report was presented from the unwell Lunatic Asylum • 169 patients were admitted during the year; 30 were dis charged, cured ; 13 relieved, or improved ; deaths, 81. Mr Cottrell said that if the parishes sent incurable patients instead of those recently attacked, the county would ere long be called upon to erect a third asylum. The report from Colney Hatch stated that the conditior of that establishment was most satisfactory. The usual reports from the prisons were brought up. 1 ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONEL—At s meeting of the council on the 11th instant the following members of the college were admitted to the fellowship, vis. :—Messrs.

At the same meeting Mr. Jahn Kirkwood, of Hamilton-place, Ring's-cross, a licentiate of the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, was admitted an ad erserkes member of the college ; and Dr. Charles West, of St Bartholomew's Hospital, was elected a member of the miiwifery hoard in the vacancy occasioned by the deeease of Dr. James Reid. BRITISH AND IRISH STEAM PACKET COMPANY.— The half-yearly meeting of the above company we. held on Wednesday, at their office in Dublin ; Mr. John Ennis in the chair. It appeared from the report resat by the secre tary that the ordinary trading profits for the year, notwith standing the increased price of seals and of all the material. used in the minimiser of steam navigation, were of an encouraging nature, enabling the company to divide 5 per teat. as usual. Allusion was made in the report to the total less of the Nile, with all on board, towards the eine of the year. The Nile had been insured for four-fifths of her value as set down in the company's books—being an amount much beyond the proportion for which steam pro perty is usually insured. The sarplas profits of the year enabled the &tenon to meet the deticieinT occasioned by -.this catastrophe; they also admitted of a:considerable sum being applied towards the liquidation of a loss on capital account occasioned by the sale 'lithe Shannon steamer at figure below that at which du stood, after sundry 'odes- Mons, in the books. The residue of the deficiency under this head will he more than met by extraordinary profits seem icy to the company by the charter of two of their steamers to the government, leaving the income derivable from the ordinary trade of the current year untouched.—The report was ananisnosaly adopted. MAILS FOE AIISTIALIA.—GENERAL POST -OFFICE, Jixv*ny, 1865.—The General Screw Stesna Shippioe Company beats unable, in eourpllanos with the terms of their contract, to provide a steam vessel to °Davey the mails to Australia in Fibruary ant, the Postmaster General has consented to the transmission of those mails by the sailing vessel Boomerang from Liverpool. The Boomerang is sp• poiated to sail from Liverpool en the 6Sa of February, and &ll letter. and newspapers for New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, and Van Diemen's Land, posted in Lou don up to the 'conies of the 6th February, or posyd or received in Liverpool up to the morning of the Bch Feb ruary, and not addressed to be sent by say other vessel, will be forwarded by the Boomerang. The packet postage will be chargeable upon letters, but newspapers will not be liable to any postage. Those postmesters whose instructions direct them to forward letters to Liverpool by cross post will send in the tame manner, on the present occasion, letters posted at their cakes addressed to Australia.

The whole of the peer inmates busied themselves with the most praiseworthy alacrity, and clewed the greatest tautly to promote the pleasure and etatiert of the unfortunate men ; whilst the governor (where evmplete and, we had nearly said, spleadid, arrange:eats cannot be too highly estimated) was anremittieg is hi mintiest'. The seem which presented itself in the ward' set apart for the mommodation of the sick and wounded men was one of the most interesting sad startlieg that could be imagined. The rooms are speciosa, and thoroughly cleaned and whitewubed. The beds, impel on each aide of the room, had a comfortable and even gay appearance, and were here and there ornamented with large bright-red counterpanes, presents from the sultan. Oa several of these beds lay the pale-faced sick, prostrated by dysentery, diarrhea, or fever, consequent on over-exertion ; and round them sat their hardier comrades, who had escaped the diaesee of the campaign, but not the bullets and the bsyosets, converses jocularly, and with all a soldier's care lessness sad coolness. Although many a melancholy coun tenance peeped oat from thee sick beds, laughter nag through the rooms, and there we a pervading cheerfulness saes, the brave fellows that dispelled the gloom which oessaional eases might have created. The mind could scarcely be brought to conceive that thee were the same soldiers w Whin a brief but:rifilant sad every memorable cam paign, had fought so well is many a terrible eoefbct. Some were toll, ring about on crutches, but, heedless of their scars and nautilatioar, papsiog jokes with each other. Others --especially the nevi, es of the diaastrons cavalry charge at Balaklava—were talking to one seethe, with animation and great earaesteese. Some deprived of both arms, some without heads, others with leadaged heeds and disfigured (sees, and others again with their bodies permanently de. formed by gunshot wounds, were pacing about the rooms as if their wounds had long since healed and they were sow experienced cripples. A complete cloud of smoke filled every ward ; and long, shining, Isacifully-deeorsted Turk ish pipes ptojeeted from sassy a oozy blanket where the sick patients lay. Altogether the eons was s singular one, and gave a peculiar and quite foreign air to the apart. meats. . . The saes, though cordial, were scarcely so communica tive as might, and., the airiest:stances, have been expected. When questioned about their personal adventures, they invariably entered into detailed accounts of each engagement ; and they " spun yarns" as long as say tar ever did. In miogliog with them, however, we tub particular interest in eliciting the feelings and opinions of the men respecting their commander-in-chisf, Lord Raglan. Ilia character and abilities have been so freely canvassed of late, that the individual opinions of the soldiers will be looked upon with no little curiosity. The result of these inquiries have led us to believe that Lord Raglan, notwithstanding the theinuatiens so his traducer,, is actually idolised in the army. Going up to • private in cue of the regiments of the line, we began a conversation, and led him, by an easy transitiou, to pass an opinion upon the general. " Why, sir," he said, " I fought on the Sully) under Lord Gough and Lord Harding'. They were looked upon u splendid fellow., but there was• general better liked by his soldiers than Lord Raglan." Another private, who joined us, said that he was very at tentive to the men, and that he had frequently seen him riding about before the battle of hike/mann, A corporal of the Grenadier Guards. overhearing the remark, ex claimed, " Why, the men thought he was far too mach among the bullets." A member of the select vestry entered into familiar conversation with a wounded man of the 65th Regiment, and asked him what he thought of the commander. " A braver man never breathed," was the ready response. " I saw him at Balaklava, riding up and down, end looking after everything." There was about • dozen of the wounded men, consisting chiefly of the 20th, 27th, and 66th Regiments, clustered round • large fire in the middle ward, reading the newspapers which the governor had generously distributed smoopt them. It was only ne cessary to listen • moment to see that the greatest indig nation was felt by all of them at the attacks made upon Lord Raglan. "There claimed one of them, " and right well every man in the army knows it." A most hearty assent was given to this sentiment. It is hardly necessary to say that that there is the greatest esteem for 13 1 Sir de Lacy Evans, 0 1 Sir Georg. Brown, and General Cathcart. The French commander, Canrohert, comes in for • share of praise ; but the great favourite seems to be the Duke of Cambridge, who is never mentioned but you hear a desen exclaim all at once, " Plucky fellow, that !" " What do you think of Hiss Nightingale ?" " Oh, • noble lady," replied the poor fellow, who was suffering from wounds and dysentery. " She's worth all the nurses at Scutari. She's here, these, and everywhere Yon lose sight of her." A private of the 17th Light Dragoons enthusiastically added—" Why, she's worth mare than seventy doctors put together. The doctors are fearfully rough, but she's very gentle." There was &hued sacs of provisions for men, but not for horses, up to the tech of November. " Why, Bill," said one of them, "the Crimea was nothing eompered to the campaign in Bul garia." Se," added Bill, " fighting is better than sick nem, after all." • If any one were at all sceptical about the cordial i alliance of the English and French troops, a walk through / these wards would remove the doubt. A private of the Coldstream Guards described that they had been fighting four hours en the day of the battle of Icksrmano, and were , quite overpowered, when the Bootees rushed up to the ; enemy, raised • tremendous cheer, argued to the English to retire • few paces, and, stationing themselves within a few yards of the advanced line of the Rosana, poured in use deadly volley after another from their Marie rifle,. "The French are rare chaps," one of the Grenadier Guards Interposed; " after the Inkermann row they ran up to us and slapped us on the back, and kissed us, and shouted Hurrah!' The French nook better than us. They are allowed to plunder. They pulled down lots of old houses at Balsklava to get wood, but we were not allowed. Lots of ; goats and pigs were running about the streets of Balsklava when we went in. The French seised them There was a general order against us taking anything ; but the French gave us a capital share of their plunder." Nobody doubts the "pluck" of the British moldier, but it is a theme that never loess its charm, and • few jottings in illustration of it will be interesting. It is remarkable that the only time any of them recollected feeling nervous was at the very commencement of the serious work of the campaign, during the charge up the heights of the Alma.

Mr. Youpo—l wish to ask my friend, the chairman of the Markets Improvement C3iiinittie (Mr. H. L. Taylor), is our haportaat question to the graders sad farmers— musty whether any day bee yet been Ind for the °peeing of the New Cottle Market ? The publie are very much alive to the question ; and the truism farmers, and sales men in general are quite in the dark upon the subject. (Hear, hear.) Mr. H. L. Tr:mon—My Lord Mayor, I conceive this question to be one of importance not only to this court, but also to the public at large. No doubt informatioo has Imo abroad that we purposed opening the market on the Mb of this month. Now it should be understood that the we ponders have not tie power of fixing the day for opening the market. That matter rests exclusively with the noble lord the Secretary of State for the Home Department. (Hear, hear.) We did hope, and yet hope, to be ready for the opening on the 26th—sufficiently ready for the business to be carried 00. At the present moment we bare before the Hume Secretary our roles and regulations, which have to be perused and sanctioned by his lordship previous to his determination as to the new mar -1 ket ; and it would be well, perhaps, that I rhould read to the court the rule u in the act of parliament which gives hie lordship the power of Icing the day. It is the 10th clause of the act under which we are building the new market, and it says, " When the commissioners have provided the market p laces, slaughter Louses, and conve niences hereinbefore authorised to be provided, and fixer, such table of tolls and payments as aforesaid, and ap pointed the market days, and done all other acts which may appear to them necessary, previously to the opening of the said market places and slaughter houses, they shall re port to one of her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State what they have done concerniog the premises, and shall MINI' to such report &copy of tee table of tolls and pay ments fined as aforesaid ; and it shall be lawful for such Secretary of State to fix a time for the opening of the said markets and slaughter bowies ' and by a notice under hie head, to be published in the Loisdose Gurgle, to notify' that such market places and slaughter houses have been provided, and the time when the same will be opened, and that from the time so mentioned Smithfield-market is ill re eFe to be a market for the sale of cattle and horses, and frau and after he time mentioned in suck Rodeo Smithfield Market shell ream to be a market for the site cf cattle or horses, and markets for the male of cattle, horns, and meat shall be holden in t►e respective places provided under this act, and each markets shall he deemed to be public markets; and no new market for the male of cattle or h shall be opened in the City of London or Westminster, or the liber ties thereof, or the borough of Sou hwark, or at any place distant lees than seven miles In a straight line from St. Paul's Cathedral, in the City of London." I may take this opportunity of stating that, looking at the magnitude of OA task undertaken by the committee, with the assist ance of an able and efficient officer, the architect, no work of equal magnitude has been brought w near its completion, in the same space of time, se that in which we had em- barked. (Hear.) I think that the greatest possible credit is due to the architect for producing such a magnificent building as the new cattle market, and I hope that the members of the corporation will themselves take the oppor- Wilily of inspecting the works as they are progressing, when I am sum the? will be satisfied, not only thst the com mittee have done their duty, but they will be enabled to form an estimate of the merit belonging to the chief officer who has been carrying them out. (Hear.) Mr. YOUNO--Have you done all that is required by the set? Mr. U. L. TATz.ort—The rale. aux.l rci”datlosta rum before the Home Secretary, and he has to appoint the day. We have not been called to see his lordship upon the subject, and until we have been we shall not know the day. Deputy Lorr—Will the chairman of the committee in terim the court whet sum the market has cost, in round numbers, up to this time ? Mr. H. L. TAYLOR—AII I can say Is that at present we have not spent mon money than has been authorised by the court I have no doubt that the court will know quite *non enough when additional money will be required. (Laughter.) Mr. Mvannu.—About whet will have been the probable coat when it is finished ? Mr. H. L. TrirLoa—That will depend entirely, as my friend must well know, upon the works carried out. We may carry them out to any extent, but that will depend en• tirelyupon the orders of the court. (Hear, hear.) THE MIDDLESEX MILITIA. Yesterday, et the meeting_ of Middlesex magis trates, Mr. COTTRELL moved,; "' That a sum not exceeding 3004 be granted to each of the 4th and 6th regiments of Middlesex militia, towards the purchase of musical imam. talents and colours." lie said the colonels of the Middlesex Militia regiments were impressed with a full sense of the liberality of the court in purchasing land and providing stores for the militia service, but no provision bad been made to give the 4th and 605 colours and bands, it having been found necessary to raise those two extra regiments; and surely it could not be expected that the burden of pro- . riding those necessities should be thrown on the officers. His wished the court to place those two regiments on the same footing as the three old regiments ; and there was no power except that court to fall back upon. Ile would men tion the county of Waistline not only rovided the militia with band and colours, but also voted the plate for the regimental mess. He did not ask for the latter, bat he did hope the court would provide the former. Major KURT seconded the motion. Mr. KRIteHEAD would entirely agree in voting the mosey, if the court had the power, but be much doubted whether it bad. The CHAIRMAN said, when he found this noticean the paper, he looked into the Militia Acts, and he collo find nothing in them whieh would justify the court in acceding to this motion. It might be said that, irrespective of the Mili:ia Acts, the court had power to vote money for what was necessary, hut the purposes which the legislature in tended the county money to be applied to were defined in the Militia Acts; and as no mention was mode of bands or colours, he could not recommend the court to entertain the motion. He should be most glad to see the object accom plished, and would contribute privately or in any other way toward it, and be thought when this was brought before the public, they would cot permit two regiments of the metro- politan militia, to be deprived of music and colours—surely the metropolitan county had some pri• e in its militia. .11• should wish to see it the militia of the kingdom, and he was sure the county had more patriotism in it than to allow two of its regiments to be without such requisites as bands and colours. Why .hiuld not the ladies of the county them selves present them with what this motion eked for, but which the court could not give ; he should be most delighted to ate the militia eirryiog colours so acquired—(" hear, hear," and a laugh)—and he did not think the ladies of Middlesex would he bekindhand in such a matter. Mr. NORTRALL Laren wrested that the militia should appl to government fir their bands and colours. Lieut. Colonel /hoer said they bed applied, but could not get a single penny. A MAOISTRATE—Then the more's the stem, I say. Mr. N. Lactate thought the better course would be to leave it to the War-office. The object of the motion was contrary to the act of parliament giving them Dower over the county pun*, and be hoped hie friend would withdraw his motion and not leave to the court the disagreeable duty of negativing so laudable a proposition. Mr. Wiisote suggested that a representation should be made oe behalf of the court to the War. office on the eublee. BAooT—lt bas bees represented halts. doses times, and it is as mach nee as representing to a lamp post. (Laughter.) Mr.WiLeow could not think the War-office would pooh pooh," a representation from the body of the magistracy, and he should not envy any government who would decline doing anything so reasonable as providing the militia with bands and colours. At any rate they would have an answer one way or other. After some further discussion the matter dropped, and yr. Cottrell withdrew his motior. A geed deal of formal business was disposed of, and the court adjourned. THE CEINIADE AGAINST PIIMITICIL—The proceed ings which took place in the Consistory Court on Wednesday, and which were reported in the Daily News yesterday, are not to be regarded as simply affecting the notorious district of St. Paul and St. Banishes. Dories the last law winks several of the churehwardens of important metropolitan ' ;mashie, have farmed themselves into an association, which is strongly supported, and if the step which Mr. Westerton has taken with regard to the Ron. and Rev. Mr. Liddell prove successful, similar measures will be taken for the sop premien of tractarian observances in St. Anne's, Soho ; St. Andrew's, Wslis-street, and other churches where they are observed.

ADMINISTRATION OF PAROCHIAL RELIEF IN TEE PARISH OF CLERKENWELL. A numerously attended public meeting was held last night, as the Crews' Tavern, Clerktnwell.green, take into consideration the conduct of Mr. Bennett, the relieving officer of this palish, in reference to the melancholy death lately reported in the proceedings of the Clorkenwell Police Court; and also in relation to the late suicide of Mr. Wray, au inhabitant of Cleikenwell for the lest GO years, supposed to be induced by refusal of parochial relief." Mr. RowLzr, the chairman, opened the proceedings by reading sancta from the newspapers of the 9th inst., in which Mr. Bennett was stated to have reused relief to a poor man, named Gaylord, and his wife; in consequence of which refusal the latter died in great misery. It was also alleged against Mr. Bennett that he bad denied relief to Mr. Wray, a man in the great distress, very irfi•m, and upwards of seventy years of age, on the ground that be was still able to work, and that his conduct in that respect had led to the melancholy suicide of the unhappy man ; ether accusations of a similar character were also brought against Mr. Bennet. On the motion of Mr. Becby, seconded by Mr. Menu, it w■s resolved " That, in consrqueuce of the statements published in the newspapers, the meeting was desirous of hearing an explthetion from Mr. Bennett, or from some person on his behalf. Mr. M.Dortatn, a guardian, informed the meeting that the board of guardians bad already instituted an inquiry into all the circumstances of the case, and suggested the pro priety of postponing any discussion until the result of the inquiry was known. Mr. PowittL, the medical officer of the parish, read the statement made at the police•cfce by the man Orford, and denied every fact alleged by him. He had culpably neg lected hie wife, and he was responsible for her death if any one was. The man Garford vindicated himself from the charges made against him, and reiterated the statement he had made before the magistrate. It was ultimately resolved on the motion of Mr. Beeby, seconded b Mr. Carter, that the meeting should be ad journed to Thursday evening nest, to await the result of the inquiry instituted b) the board of guardians. Thanks were voted to the chairman, and the meeting separated. WATERPROOF CLOTHING FOR TEE ARMY IN I CRIMIA.—One of the most extensive contracts ever entered into by one Arm has just been completed by Mr. George' Spill, of the Old Farm-house, Stepney green, who engaged lilt the Lords of the Admiralty 42 days ago to manufacture 40,006 coat., 40,000 pairs of leggings, and 40,000 hoods for the army in the Crimes. Only 44 days were allowed Mr. Spill to comnlete the order, and he immediately trebled the number of his bands, with relays of workmen and females to assist, and for 40 days and nights. including Christmas day and Sundays, the works were in coctiousl operation. On an average there were 3,500 persons employed. Large bounties were offered by Mr. Spill to expedite the work, and double pay was gist° for over hours., The usual working hours are ten per day, and while the manufacture of the waterproof clothing for the army was going on, a great majority of the men and women employed made 15, and a larger portion, 16 working days per week. On the 40th day the order was completed, and the whole of the waterproof clothing deli vered to the Lords of the Admiralty. The howls will cover the ups of the men, and the coats are so made as to form a cover for the horses of the cavalry, and a bed for the in fantry, in which they can also place their kit and provisions. On Wednesday evening, just as the order was c mpleted, en alarming fire broke out in the buildicg, which, with the naptha, ind is-rubber, and every other article on the premises, was completely destroyed. i i el i 7 il Kitty intelltgence.

EBENEZER DAVIES v. DANIEL PRATT.—ARBITRATION. Yesterday,Mr 'Whiteley, Q.C., the arbitrator to whom this cause is referred, resumed the inquiry. Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Barnard were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Berjeant Wilkins and Mr. Evans represented the defendant. Mr. Thomas Oliver Beale was re-called and examined by Mr. Ballantine. He stated he could not say whether the aentleman supposed to be Mr. Davies sopped at his hones or not on the Saturday night in 1846. He recollected Mr. Resale, the minister, Wog there. Mr. Rends lived be tween witness's house and Mr. Keep's, so that on going to Mr. Keep's Mr. Davies must have pas sed Mr. Rime's house. Cross minuted by Serjeant Wilkins—l remember Mr. and Mrs. Davies being at my house in 1852; I found them there en my return between 7 and 8 o'clock in the evening. Mrs. Beele's cousin was staying in the house. I saw her before I went into the room to Mr. and Mn. Davies. I believe I did not take my tea before I went to them. They were in the drawing-room. Mn. Beale's cousin is Miss Bollard. Ido not remember having heard that she gave Mr. and Mrs. Davies tea before my return. I believe they did not, when I went Into the room, tell me they had had tea. Mr. Davies told me hie basineu that evening. IHe said something to the effect that he had been accused of writing an infamous letter when he was a deputation from the Missionary Society at Wellingborough in 1845. [ believe he said "Do you remember me." I replied to the effect, " Yes, I perfectly recollect your being at my house sad at my table." He then said, "Do you recollect any conversation we had together?" I believe I said, "Yea. relative to infant schools and to temperance societies." Mr. and Mrs Davies slept at my house that night. I believe that Mrs. Davies, when she came down the following morn ing, said, " Mr. Davies perfectly recogeises the room as the one be slept in in 1845." Is the course of the morning Mr. Davies asked me if I could assist him in reference to the h tter. He said that " the letter which he was accused of writing to his wife purported to be an answer to a packet of letters received from London at Wellingborough on the Monday morning." I said in reply, " Well, as tar as that goes, I think you might be assisted, fur every one knows we had no letters from London on Monday mornings." I think somata:4 was said about a delivery of country letters in the morning. I did not at the time know that there was a delivery of country letters on the Monday. I do not recollect treat I told Mr. Davies we Faye out post man rest on the Monday. I believed there was no delivery on the Monday. I have lived at Wellingborough fifty five ye..ea. I reeollert stating in my last examination that • we were talking spout country letters, and no others." That was in reference to the certificate which I wrote for the postmistress to sign. I believe I stated I had no objec tion to give him a certificate that he had been staying as a guest in my bouse. 1 gave him this :—" 1 perfectly recol lect your being at my house as a guest during your stay at Wellingborough in 1845 u a deputation from the Londontdis sionary Society Yon could not have written a letter in answer to a packet of lettere received that day (Monday)." Mr. Davies interlined it as far as the dates with pencil and asked me if 1 could put it into that form. I said upon your truth fulnesa and your perfect recollection of the sleeping-room I thought 1 might. What I stated before about this was not correctly reported in the papers. I felt no hesitation about his having slept there, bat Mrs. Beale did, and 1 do not wonder at it, for her attention was so much taken up by het dieter. I stated before that the words suggested by Mr. Davies were "stayins at my house from Sawed y night, Nov. the let, to Tu stay morning, Nov. the 4th." It is true, as I have written in a letter of Nov. 28ih, 1853, that Kra Beale and myself disputed with Mr. Davies about his having slept at our house, and that in consequence of hie being so positive about the place of his rest my wife and I gave it up. Serjeant Wilkins (handing the witness a letter)—Yon wrote this letter to Mr. Prout ? Witness—l did. 4 ►2 4 12 4 10 4 10 4 ID 4 10 4 10 4 7 4 7 4 7 4 7 4 7 " Spring Hill Cottage, Wellingborough, " December 2, 1853. " Sir—At your request I give you in writing the sub stitute of my commue.oetion with you when at my house on the 2Cth of November, relating to the document referred to by me, sad published by Mr. Ainslie. Having had a conversation with Mr. Keep, and haying recalled the cir cumstances of Mr. Davies' visit to Wellingborough, I became convinced my statement was incorrect, and wrote to that e ffeet to Mr. Ainslie. I also stated that in a conversa tion with Mn. Beale she says she told Mr. Davies at the time she could not think he slept at our house. When Mr. Davies wished me to sign • declaeatien, 1 drew up two, neither of which unified him; he wrote the one signed by me, which I copied." Berieant Wilkins—Now, did you draw up two declara tions ? Witness—l did. 8, rjeant Wilk int—Neither of which lath fled him ? Witness—Tr s. Serjeant Wilkine—And he drew up the one which y' it signed ? Witness—He did. A letter, dated the 17th December, 18.53, written by the witness to the editor of the British Bowser, in wh di he expressed " his surprise that Mr. Davies mould persist in stating that he had slept at his house, when it was so clearly proved to be a mistake," was then read. Serjeant Wilkial—ls that true ? Witness—l had given up my former sta'rments at the time, or I should not have written that letter. I should say there is not the acme extent of view from the bed-room of Mr. Keep's house as from mine. A letter, written by the mimes* to 4r. Davies, dated August 10th, 1833. was then read. It stated that he (Mr. Devise) had not slept at his house, but at Mr. Keep's, in 1815 ; and that as far as be was concerned, be could not assist him, but elt , .uld only do him harm. Cross-examination continued—l stated on my former ex amination that 1 (null not recollect whether Mr. Davies supped with me on the Saturday or the Sunday evening. 1 will swear on my oath Saturdcy was osmed . I did not name it, but I answered the question. lte.exam ned by Mr. Ballentine—l have very readily given Idr. Prout all the haforeaation 1 could on the subject. Having heard in the town that Mr. Davies had slept at Mr. Keep's, 1 took the pamplak:, to him, and he said he was sorry lhad stated Mr. Davies had slept at my house, as he was certain he had slept at his. lie then made such state ments u altered my opinion, and not wishing to appear as • plunger), I immediately wrote to correct the statement. Mr. Bellantine (reading from cur report)-1 find you are reported to have said is Mr. Davies on the last examination - I said on year statement end truthfulness and perfect recollection of the sleeping-room, I think I may do so." Witness—l did not state that I had said so to Mr. Davies, bat that that was the impression on my mind at the time. The Arbitrator, having referred to his note , said: The words which you have read, Mr. B dlantine, agree with what I bad taken down—my note exactly egrets with that. Serjeant Wilkins—And it exactly agrees with the note of the shorthand writer. The Arbitrator—l have not read the newspaper reports in this ease, but they ere generally remarkably accurate. This quite agrees with my nett, end I rather pride myself on taking a good note. Mr. Ballentine—This report is most wonderfully accurate —auurate word for word. _ _ _ Re-examination continued—When I made my statement to Mr. Davies I did not know it was to be generally pub lished.
