THE ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL. MR. ROEBUCK'S COMMITTEE. Yesterday the committee recently appointed by the Hose of Cemmess o Woes tate the modeles of the army before Sebastopol assembled is Committee-room No., 17, for the psrpeesof preending with the tawdry. Although so penile wilco wog gine of the naiades of the emesittee to eassaine witamme yesterday, • very large amebae of pew nose asessibled in the corridor long before the risen wee thrown open. Twelve o'clock was the hour sprinted, bat the committee emulated in oonsultatios seedy se bear. At a few misses before me ewes monseed that thole& lie would be admitted, sad immediately afterwards Mei nese cominesseed. TM committee esesisted of Mr. J. A. Roebuck, chairman; Led Seymour, Sir John Peklagtee, Sir Joh. lienser, General Peel, Mr. H. Deuemeed. Col Liadsay, Mr. Ensues, lb. Lerma, . of. Balloted Kr. 1 Ellice. A lugs Dundee ef members the Ibsen el ! Cowen' were also is attnidame daring the !equity. amongst whom were Sir De Lacy Beene, Mr. Arthur Gor don, Mr. IL Ball, Mr. A. Haede, Mr. Macgregor, Mr. Dun lop, Ur. 0. Daadas, Mr. Forster, de. Mr. George Dunces, M.P. for Linlithgowshite, was eta maimed by the Chairman —He said that in December last he mat to the Crimes, for the purpose of eakieg himself sequined with the state of affairs there. He went, in the Het instance, to Selektive, and mode a practice of tidies up to the camp every day the weather would permit. The cavalry camp was about • mile distant from Baletklava. He paid a visit to that camp on the day after his arrival there. The first thing that attracted his attention was the state of the cavalry horse. They were standing on their pickets, quite unprotected hoes the weather, and had • very little to eat. Many of the hones had died recently, and when he first vetted the place their bodies were lying on the ground. Every other horse be saw there was dying or dead. The tails and manes of • large number of them bed been eaten off by their aeighboun is the agonies of starvation. He had Men informed that there was • great deal of forage at that time in um Whom of Balaklave, but that the teoops meld aot pet possession of it. lie bad himself seen a large questity of hay flatten about in the horbour; and ma the chore there was • large geastity of bras—from 16 to 20 tons, he should suppose. The uniforms of the cavalry were in rags, and altogether they preened • very miserable ap pearance. The state of the intern,' wee even worse than that of the cavalry, principally, he thought, in consequence of the greater distance of the encampment from Hairlines. The seas trousers were in reps; and, to protect their legs from the severity of the weather, they were compelled to wrap them round with sand bags. The rations issued to the men were very short ; and he had been told that, on the day before his arrival, the Third Division had no rations at MI. It was a very common thing to supply them with half rations. The quantity supplied was not sufficient to keep the men in health, when it was considered what labour they had to undergo. They were very badly shod, in many eases the soles were parted from the upper loathers in conse quence of the continued wet to which theme* wen exposed. W hen be was there the men were is tents ; but those tents were a very poor protection, and some attempt was made at the construction of huts. There was no regular supply of feel to the troops, although there was an abundance of fuel within • short distance of the harbour of Hankie's. That fuel he believed might have been enured and taken up to the camp, where he believed it would have been of the moat essential envie.. In answer to a series of questions put by Mr. Layard, Mr. Dundee said no preparations seemed to be made in the amp f r any du deiencies that might arise. The hay which be saw floating in the harbour would not have been useless if it had been taken up to the camp at once, for the water might have been pressed out of it by means of an hydraulic machine. Ile was not acquainted with the reasons why the horses were left without coverings, and he had not heard that an offer had been made of an ample supply of tarpaulins for covering them la. With regard to the roads he found them in • very bad condition, and were up to the knees in mod. He remembered seeigg • sailor with long boots, who bed become so firmly embedded in the mud near Belaklave, that when be attempted to get away he drew his feet out of his boots. The water in the Mebane of Hinkley& was is a very filthy state, but he never saw, or heard that dead bodies were floating about there. He thought if such • eirdueMenee had occurred the bodies would very soon have been removed. He had sees our own burial ground as well as that of the Turk.. He did not know how many bodies were buried in one grave, nor what the depth of **graves might have been, inasmuch as when be saw the graves they were always filled with water. To the beet of his belief he never saw • medical man or an officer present at any of the burials he attended. He had heard the strongest poseible opinion expressed by medical men, as well as by officers and others, that the manner of burial employed woe likely to prove very deleterious, indeed that as soon es the warm weather set in it would lead to the most disastrous results. Halals's was in a miserable state when be visited it. There were U 0 regulations in re ference to the occupation of houses. There was one large well built brick house, called the healquatters, but he sever saw any one in it. He did not recollect that the name of Lord Wan was on the door, but be remembered that the words " Head-quarters" were scratched upea it. Then could be no doubt that some of the houses might with propriety have been formed into depots. If that course had been adopted to doubt a vast deal of misery would have been steed. At the time he was there there was no regular pier at Balaklsva, but he had beard that Ceptain Powell had one in contemplation, and he understood that it wp to be commenced forthwith. The great amount of misery which prevailed in the camp he attribute 1 mainly to a proper want of organisation. Os paying a visit to the hos pital at Balakleva he found it in • much better condition than he had bees led to expect from the various reports which bad reacted him. At the same time he was informed that there was a great want of medical stores in the hospital, and as a natural consequence, a great deficiency of mediul stores in the comp. The sick men in the camp had no beds or stretchers for their acoommodatioe, but were simply wrapped up in blankets. He had not heard that the tents were teed in the Peninsula, and that they were so rotten that the rain ran through them. He believed that the large majority of the hones were destroyed from want of proper food, care, sad protection. In reply to Sir John Pakingtoo, the bon. member said that he did not know how many effective hones then were in the cavalry division at the tune h' was then. He was aware that the hones died from starvation, 'revisit, un happily, had many opportunities of seeing theist& that state. The hair of their tails was *Men off by others. There was an abundance of fuel in the harbour, but there was no depot in which it could be stored in Selektive. He had been informed that the sufferings of the soldiers in conse quence of the want of fuel wen totems. There was a great amount of sickness during the time he was in the Crimea. At the time he spoke of he believed the deaths is the camp averaged seven hundred a week, the principal diseases which prevailed being derriere, dysentery, and gelatio. The weather was very uncertain. We heard frequent and strongly expressed complaints respecting the rations, whisk wen tot only de deject in quantity, but were not of a sufficiently nutritious character, considering the work the soldiers had to do. The ambulance waggets on which the sick and wounded were placed were very improper things to be used for such a pur pose. They had no springs, and, on a bad road, subjected the poor fellows to a great amount of suffering. Mr. Dundee, in answer to questions from Mr. Drum mond and General Peel, said he believed the Turkish army bad been supplied from our eonamiseariat, but be was ndt sure of the tact. The English trenches were about six miles from Selektive, and the French trenches were still further distant. He bad not heard that when the horses lay down at night they became frozen, and were dead be fore modem, ; but he could very easily believe such to have been the case. By Lord Seymour—When he (Mr. Dundee) was out there, be slept se board ship. Soon after his arrival the Jason came in with 250 horses. They slung the hovers into a long boat and rowed them to the shore. He sever heard of au accident from this mode of landing the boron, which was the general mode adopted. He (Mr. Dundee) was five years in the Rifle Brigade, and he naturally went to impect the Rifle cusp, which was in a better condition than any of the other divisions. They had been is campaign previously, and knew many means of making themselves tolerably ems. fortable. Another circumstance which was greatly la their favour was that they were nearer Balaklava, and pressed greater facilities thnn the others of procuries fuel.

Castlenaudary (Andel, Feb. 26. The market to-day was in complete calm, being without a single buyer of wheat or flour, nor so much as an order to execute. Holders would have made a compromise of If. !Ott. to 21., which would have brought the price down to 28f. ; but this was still considered too high. Lille (Nord), Feb. 28.—Market well supplied.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—OXFORD, Menn 5. The commission was opened on Saturday afternoon by Lord Chief Justice Campbell, who arrived in this city about four o'clock in the afternoon, the other judge, Mr. Baron Martin, being detained by assize business at Reading, and did not reach Oxford until Sunday evening. On Sunday morning Lord Campbell, accompanied by the Vice-Chancellor and the High Sheriff, attended divine. ser vice at the University church, when an appropriate and impressive sermon wu preached by the Hon. and Rev. H. Villiers, M.A., Rector of Bloomsbury, London, and brother to the Rail of Clarendon. The bovines' of the Haire commenced this morning at 11 o'clock, Lord Campbell presiding in the crown court. and Baron Martin in the nisi prime court. Lord Campbell ad drewed the grand jury, and congratulated them on their large attendance, the lightness of the calendar, and the euperio• accommodation provided for the judges in the new lodgings, which, he said, were a credit to the county. The grand jury have found a true bill against the Rev. Dr. Giles, charged with having solemnised ' ge at an uncanonical hour, before eight o'clock in the morning, and having falsified the register. The cue comes on to-morrow morning at nine o'clock. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.-LEICESTER, MARCH 5. Mr. Justice Coleridge opened the commission for the county and borough of Leicester, on Saturday morning, and then proceeded to try the borough prisoners. LAT* RAILWAY COLLISIONS AT TN' KNIGHTON JUNCTION. The grand jury ignored the bill against Joseph Pickering, the driver of the down train, charged with the manslaughter of Esther Cunningham Robinson (the widow of a clergyman of Edinburgh), who was killed in a collision which took place at the Knighton Junction of the Leicester and Burton with the Midland Railways, in Novi mbar last. Another collision, under precisely similar circumstances, was re ported in the Daily News of Wednesday last. The grand jury recommended that the land lying between the two les at the junction should be levelled. In the case of Cornelius Asher, • herb doctor, who was charged with the wilful murder of Elisabeth Fletcher, on the 13th of February, by causing her death in attempting to procure almartios, the grand jury ignored the bill for wilful murder, but brought in one for manslaughter. The defending counsel, Mr. O'Brien, applied for the cue to be traversed to next assizes, on the ground that the public ex citement in the matter was so great that the prisoner would not be able to obtain • fair trial. His lordship refused the application, but granted that the case should be tried by a county jury. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Francis Fowler was brought before the Lord Mayor, in the custody of Daniel Forrester. the officer, charged with having uttered a forged cheque for 1,6001. Mr. Weston appeared as solicitor for Messrs. Bodding ton and Co., in whose names the cheque purported to be drawn. Mr. William Norton, clerk in the banking house of Messrs. Marten and Stone, Lombard street, said-1 produce a cheque for 1,5001., purporting to be drawn by Meters. Boddiogton and Co., and payable to C. Walton, )ieq. The words, 0 Loss, per the Mercury" are on the cheque, which is dated 4th February, 1855, and endorsed F. P r owler. It was presented at our house on the sth February, by the London Joint Stock Bank, and the amount was paid by me through the clearing clerk. Mr. Alfred Scri , cashier at the London Joint-Stock Bank, said—l de not know the prisoner personally. We have no account in the name of Francis Fowler. This cheque was paid to me, to the credit of Francis Fowler, on Monday, the 6th of February, and was cleared in the usuall manner through the clearing-house. The amount was re ceived, and carried to the credit of Francis Fowler. I have not seen the prisoner on the subject. Mr. SansuelJelly, clerk to Messrs. Boddiogton and Co., of St. Helen's-place, West ladle merchants, said—l know the prisoner. He has been in the same service, and left the house in January 1 know his writing, and I believe the endorsement, and the whole of the writing in the body of , the cheque, and the signature, to be in his handwriting. In answer to a :question from the prisoner, the witness repeated that he believed the whole of the writing on the cheque to be the prisoner's. _ The Lord Mayor—Does it resemble the writing of any of the firm ? Witness—lt resembles that of Mr. Davis, who more gene rally signs the cheque. In the cheques are the letters U. A., signifying the " underwriting account." The prisoner from his employment in the house would be aware of their being two disticct accounts. He was in the underwriting depart ment. I know Mr. Davis's writing. We had no loss on the ship Mercury at that time. Mr. Richard Davis, partner in the firm of Boddington and Co., said—The prisoner had been is our house about eighteen years. The cheque produced is not in my writing, neither is it in that of my partner, nor has it been drawn by my authority. I think it necessary to state that I have several other cases against the prisoner. ' Mr. Weston, the solicitor to Messrs. Boddington and Co., said, that as the cases were extremely complicated, and in eluded matters of robbery as well as forgery, a reamed for some days would be necessary. The prisoner was then remanded for a week. WORSHIP-STREET. William Brown, a surly-looking youth, about 16 years of age, was charged by Mr. Thomas Pettifer, a City mission ary, with a serious offence. It appeared, from the evidence of Mr. Pettifer, whose left arm was suspended in a sling, and enveloped in bandages, that he was engaged in conducting the religions exercises of the pupils in the school-house, North-street, on the previous afternoon, when he was interrupted by a loud uproar and disturbance outside, accompanied by a continuous hammer ing at the door, w..lch was ultimately buret open, and at the same moment • pistol was protruded into the school-room, and Instantly discharged. On hearing the report, which oc. easioned the utmost consternation and confamon, witness immediately hastened out into the street, where he found the prisoner, who was pointed out to him by one of the female attendants at the school. as the person who had com mitted the outrage. Witness at once seized him by the collar, but had no sooner done so than the prisoner uttered a shrill whistle by way of signal, and he was shortly afterwards surrounded by a mob of at least 100 of the lowest characters in the dis trict, several of whom were armed with sticks, with which they commenced an unmerciful attack upon him, and struck him repeated blows about the head and other parts of the person, which compelled him to relinquish his hold of the prisoner, who effected his escape, but he was afterwards traced out, and given into custody. The complainant added that in the course of the attack upon him he was struck pound times by the prisoner, and that he had been ever since in • state of eatrems personal suffering from the effect. of the brutal treatment to which he had been subjected. Mr. D'Eyneourt severely animadverted upon the gross nature of the outrage, and ordered the prisoner to pay the penalty of 61., or to be committed in default for two months to the House of Correction. The magistrate requested our reporter to acknowledge the receipt of a cheque for 101. from the Goldsmiths' Com pany, and of a donation to the same amount from the Salters' Company, for the purposes of the poor box. CLERKENWELL. Humphry Lynch and John Shea, two Irish labourers, were charged before Mr. Corti* with riotous conduct is the burial-ground of the Trinity Church, in the Grayirkek reed.
