THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 23. 1861. The SPEAKER eras anderstood t asiv that the hoe. where beet plan mould be to almodeni the present bill and to twin.; in a new oue, frdned iu accordance with the amendment which bed heen carried INDIAN ARMY AMALGAMATION. Mr. BENTINCK asked the !kcretury of State for hullo whether he had may objection to lay bef:.re the bowie copies of the orders or communications Neut or mado by him to the I ..vernor.Grieeral for carrying out the amalgamation of the aoyal .ord local snub anti for giving effect to her Ma jolty s warrant for the formation of a Staff Corps for India, ilated .I.n. le., 1861, together with copior. of all ailments end aptaious reonded on that measure by member' of the Council of Italia in January, Sir C. WOOD said that In the imaructions which hod been sent out to the Governor-General of hails permission hal lava given to mike such :iterations as might be ilerrne , hle , ..imhle. As vet government had not received any iatinuU•rn respecting whatever alterations might have been made, When they bad there would be no objection to laying them on the tablet of Exchequer bonds ; but where was the money to do so Not one of those projects was carried out. Did he blame ministers for not adhering to those resolutions' No; be cause his impression was that the great thing was to keep faith with the public creditor with the least pressure on the resources of the country ; and se long as they did that, they might dispense with resolutions (Hear, heard With regard to this 'articular tax, Imause circumstances were changed their duty was not changed, which was to consider what was most for the wants of the _people. (Hear, beard Now, as to this particular tax be would not vote for its repeal • he did not consider the house was bound to vote for the rep eal of this tax. If it saw t h at it was advisable to dis pense with that income, or if it saw that it had • surplus, would it not be wiser to apply that surplus for the reduc tion of duties upon articles of consumption of the people He should like to have seen the remissions confined to only one-half what had been proposed ; but he had been told he was not in the position of the Chancellor of the Exche la:Lc:wort; that te e hasp not h r is t k o tir t i b ed e ge o t f r expeLilnee...Th . e with 2,000,00 W., but let them see ho rn s he could employ 'w those 2,001.4000 f. If that be so, let the Chancellor of the Exchequer apply that sum to reduce the taxation on articles of consumption used by the people. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the income tax, they underrate d the pressure upon those who were consumers ; and he thought that that was to be the only source or great source of patching eeo up the revenue in time of peace, it might a very dangerous expedient from the extent to which it might be used in time of war. He confessed that if he were to say how the surplus might he applied it would be by a reduction on the tea duty. (Hear.) He confessed that the course proposed by the government to take off at once the paper duty was neither wise nor safe, and he begged the ministers to re censider it. He be gged her Majesty's ministers to believe that he did BO not from any wish to disturb them from the position where they now sat, for he looked upon no calamity m great se • weak government, and no government could be strong in that house unless it possessed a strong financial position. (Hear.) He trusted they would value more their responsibility in being provided against every danger rather than be actuated by jealousy of what might take place elsewhere — that at least was not the feeling which should influence the House of Commons in its decision. (Cheers.) Mr. WHITE observed that, although there had been • reduction in the duty on tea within the last few years to the extent of 35 per cent. it only diminished the cost to the consumer 17 per cent But owing to the disturbed state of China it actually came to the, that after • diminution of duty in this country there had been an increased augmentation of duty in that country, consequently until there should be a more exten ded trade with China it would be hopeless to expect that any remission of duty by the Chancellor of the Exchequer would lead to cheapness, or to a lowering of the price of tea. He spoke from • practical and extended knowledge of the subject, and such were his °occlusions. (Hear, hear.) Lord R. MONTAGU, in the existing state of me finances, and of European and American polities, doubted the safety of abandoning the paper duty. Mr. BAXTER, in reply to Mr. Baring, defended the budget, which, he mainta , ned, warn lased upon moderate and reasonable calculations ; indeed, competent persons, he said, were of opinion that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had under-estimated the revenue for 1861-02. He thought, however, that the expenditure ought to be greatly, though gradually diminished. Mr. fit'A NHOPE said he opposed that part of the budget which remitted taxation, because he did not not see that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had any surplus at all, a real aurplue being the balance between the expenditure and the revenue derived from taxation already existing. Mr. DOLIBOSI said he saw no reason why he should dis trust the calsalatioas of the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the current year, those of last year having turned out remarkably correct. Mr. Baring had suggested that the receipt of the 750,0001. from China was uncertain, but he (Mr. Daiwa) thought it was as safe a portion of the revenue as any. With respect to the disposal of the sv-plus, he WWI not inclined to quarrel with the repeal of the paper duty, which would be a great benefit, but the question wee cue for consideration in the committee. Kr. BLACKBURN examhad some of the calculations von which the budget rested, end urged the expediency el having a surplus actually in existence before taxes were e e l supported the proposition for the repeal of the paper duty, which would, be said, be • great boon to Ireland. Mr. BAILLIE contended that dependence could not be placed upon the surplus of 1,900,00/. claimed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which was made out, he said, by • proem analogous to the raising of money to pay off debts. He objected to the repeal of the paper duty, which would not benefit the community. which the great body of manufacturers did not want, and which would be an advan tage only to one small but powerful clam—the proprietors of the penny newspapers. Mr. W. EWA RT approved the repeal of the paper duty, observ'm that when excise duties were taken off the aggre gate amount of that branch of the revenue increased. He insisted that it would be a commend:it benefit and • litenuy benefit, and that it would heal the dissensions between the two Houses of Parliament. The budget was, in b.' opinion, a wise and sensible one. _ _ that the available surplus of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was Imaginary ' • that there was in truth a deficiency of revenue. He bhunod the go- vernment for relinquishing the paper duty, and give an seaming history of the manufacture in Ireland. The my of "taxes upon knowledge" he denounced as cant, substituted for argument. The budget wee, in his view, objectionable in temper and in its details, and it was likely to prove de lire. r. NORRIS denied that the paper-makers were in different to the repeal of the excise duty on their manu facture, and he explained their feelings upon the subject. Ur. B. LONG said he was =prised, and regretted that the speech of Mr. Baring wee not followed by a more active coselnaioa, and that he had not moved an amendment in opposition to the resolution of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer. He condemned the nehmen of the government ; he considered the repud of the paper duty most undesira ble and most unwise. Mr. BLACK, in supporting the repeal of the paper duty; showed how the duty operated injuriously, and the great relief its remission would afford. The public paid probably 2,000,001.2. for the 1;200,1..)1. received by the exchequer. Mr. WARNER likewise supported the repeal of the duty. Mr. BENTINCK made a ramming commentary upon the ! financial speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whom he accused of carrying the principles of free trade to an extravagant length. He denied that there was any surplus, but if it was real it would not be possible for the Chas. I caller of the Exchequ er in another year to fall hack upon any resource but • large Increase of the income tax. Sir J. PAXTON insisted that the repeal of the paper duty would be • very great boon to the consumers of paper, though he admitted that he believed the paper-makers, as • whole, were against the repeal because it world interfere asith their monopoly. Sir & NORTIICOTE said that the budget of his right boo. friend might be viewed from many sides, It had • political and a finaaeial side, and with the last alone be should venture to deal. It was with great diffidence that he rose to impugn the maculation' of so high an authority as a cabinet minister ; but he was somewhat encouraged to do so by the fact that the calculationsof his right hon. friend last year had not been realised. His right boo. friend the member for Huntingdon (General Peel) called in question during the last session the sufficieney of the army estimates, but the noble lord the Secretary for War (L or d H ar b er t) expressed his conviction that the estimates of the govern ment would be sufficient, But it turned out that his right hon. frieod was right to the extent of 450,0001. and the Secretary of State was wrong. (Hear, hear.) No lees than 250,0001., which had been allotted to the navy, was inns tarred to the army ; and they heard, on Monday last, that another sum of M,OOOl. was to be taken for the army excels of the year. (Hear, hear.) Again, his right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in his supple mentary budget of last July, told them that he was going to take out a certain sum from the balances of the Ex chequer—he believed 1,286,0001. ; he told them that the balances were in a satisfactory state—that they amounted to a certain SUM in March—that they bad fallen in June—that they amounted to 6 , 5 00,003 1 . ; but that it was expected they would be In a more satisfactory state in September than they were in June. It turned out however that they were much less satisfactory, for they were lower in Sep timber than they were is June. (Hear.) He thought these facts justified him in challenging the athroletions now before them. He was astonished to hear it said that the Predictions or rather the calculations made on his side of the home had proved to be groundless, the fact being that those calculations were literally justified by the result. They stated last rear that the provision made for the year was not sufficient. It was not sufficient. (Hear, hear.) His right lion friend sail he had • surplus of 1,200,000/., but in truth if the houao declined to vote the taxes which his right boo. friend nakal them to vote there would be a defiriency of 8,500,000/. The CHANCELLOR of the EICHE. urxii-20,000.000/.) If they declined to renew the tea and sugar duties the deficiency would be 20,000,000 f. but he referred only to them extra taxes which his right honourable friend wad should be open for the consideration of the house this year. They had therefore a large deficit to deal with. He might be told that they had prealictel lard year that it would ba very much larger. Well, that was true—(bear)—they did predict that it would be larger. and they were quite justified in doing so ; for at that time the spirit duties stood at 14. Instead of at 10a. per gallon, to which they were ultimately raised, and the paper duties were not repealed as they were at lint to have been. The raising of the spirit duties made • difference of 1,500,0001., and the paper duties were soother 1,300.000/., making together • sum of 2,800,0001., which would have 'aimed the deficit to 11,000,0001. or 12,000,0001., which was what they (the onpositioe) said they would have to deal with this year. (Cheer.) He congratulated the right ham rear man in some respects upon his policy. No death there were portions of it which had proved very satis4 astory ; bat at the same time they must look at it as a whole, sad not let their gam rest upon • single bright feature, when there was so smith et gloom in the picture. (Hear , bear.) Last year the deficit bad been about 2,500,000 f. The right boo. gentleman said that there was • sum of 300,0001. which really belonged to the previous year; bet that, on reflection, was a mode of calculation on which he would hardly care to insist, because if he took credit for that 300.000/. he must be prepared to give credit for the MOW. which was outstanding on the vote of credit for the Llama 'vodka:la. (Hear, hear.) The deficit last year, then, was 2,568,000/. ; and how had that been met' The right hon. gentleman mid he had taken 1,450,000/. out of the balances in the Exchequer, and had added 460,0001. to the unfunded debt of the country. But the first observa tion that suggested itself on that statement was that 1,41'40001. and 460,0001. did not make 2,568,000 1 . (Cheers.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I never pro fessed to state how the deficit was met. (Hear, bear.) Sir S. NORTHCOTE—Then the right hon. gentleman ought to have done so. (Cheers.) But the only figures he bad given the house were the two sums which - he (Sir S. Nortlicote) had quoted, and like many other bon. gentlemen he had ever since been puuled to make out the difference. He would state to the house bow he supposed the matter stood. In the first place, it was absolutely necessary to take into consideration an item which the right lion. goals man designedly and deliberately told the house ee should omit—the vote for the fortifications. This year the loan on that account had amounted to very little. Only 200,0001. had been borrowed, of which only 50,0001. had been ex pended ; but though the item wee now a small one, it would probably be larger in subsequent years, and he must protest against its omission from the account. Besides the two sums he bad mentioned—the 454,000/. addition to the un funded debt and 1,300,000/., the diminution of the balances in the Exchequer reckoning the fortification vote—he found a third item, repayment of themes, 627,000/. Now, be wanted to know what these were, for he believed that a good deal would turn upon them. He supposed that they were repayments of the loans advanced for public works. If that were so, this was another addition to the debt of the country, foe though the money had been borrowed many years ago, it had originally been raised by loan, and what was now paid in ought to have been lent out again. IL however, it was now used for the services of the year it was virtually a new loan ; and he did not think it ought to have been so used without the sanction of perils meat, or without explanation to the house. (Cheers. It might be that he (Sir S. Northcote) was in error in tbe) conclusion at which he had arrived; but if so, be could only repeat that the right hon. gentleman ought to have informed the house how the deficit of last year had been made up, and then he (the hon. baronet) should have been in no dan ger of drawing a false deduction. At present it appeared to him that they had made an addition to the debt in the year of no less than 1, 25 7,0001., besides largely drawing upon the balances in the Exchequer ; besides which he ought to add another million for Exchequer bills not paid off ; and then the addition to the debt in the course of lath year would stand at two millions and a quarter. (Hear.) There was, moreover, an army excess of 200,0001.—h0w woe that to be paid? Was it also to be taken out of the Exche quer balances, or was it to be thrown upon the revenue of the coming year? in which, by the bye, there was no provi sion for it. He could imagine hon. gentlemen exclaiming, "What in the world are these balances?" No doubt they were partly made up of accumulations of surrendered services; but to a very large extent they consisted of sums already appropriated. It might be a very pleasant thing to have a large balance at one's banker's, but if against that balance there were large claims and cheques outstanding, it would be ica gratifying. It certainly seemed to him that if ever there was a time when it was desirable to have the Exchequer balances strong it was now ; whereas the right hon. gentle man admitted that they were 700,000 t. leas than they were this time last year. (Hear, bear.) They were told that there was a surplus of 1,900,0001. ; and he (Sir S. North cote) suppmed that bad been very fairly calculated. Of course there was always some risk of such failures is those which they had had last year, and which had undoubtedly resulted from the unfortnnete harvest, on which they could not calculate ; though it might, to be sure, have been cal culated upon at the time the right hon. gentleman produced his supplementary budget. The only point on which be felt doubt was the 750,0001. of China money. He really could not understand the explanation which bad been girth by the noble lord (Lord J. Mown) on that woes. At one time the noble lord seemed to think there would be 600,000/. ; while at another be spoke of only 200,000/. ; and there appeared to be some uncertainty in his mind as to whether the merchants were to reosive their compensation la the first year. It was most important that with so small • surplus the house should receive more explicit informa tion, for at present the explanations which had been given were anything but satisfactory. (Hear, hear.) Last year they were asked for 3,800,000/. for the extras.. dinary expenses of the army and navy. They granted that sum, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer told them he had no occasion to pay more than a little over 3,000,000/., and consequently there was a balance of 750,0001. still un 'pent. He asked the right hon. gentleman if that sum was cow available if called for, but the right hon. gentleman was obliged to tell him that it was not in his power to say, but that it still remained good for the service of the year therefore that 760,0001. war as good as gone. It was possible that this 1,00),000/. which they were about to take for the service of the year might not be required for this year, but there was the money in the Ex chequer, liable to be drawn out. Ile did feel that in all the provisions of the financial arrangements this was the one which required the most careful scrutiny, and was the least satisfactory. (Hear.) He thought, there fore, the house ought to have more full explanations of our financial position than they had yet had. (Hear.) With regard to a provisional budget, he thought if there was any proposition upon which financiers were fully agreed it was that it was very undwimbly to live upon • system of pro visional finance. It mart, for instance, be very diadem tsgeous to those who were dealing in tea and sugar not to know from year to year what the taxes on those articles were to be. (Hear.) The Chancellor of the Exchequer told them that with regard to two articles, tea and sager, the duties hid been stationary during the last two yews ; but did not the right bon gen tleman know the stationary character of these imports.? The merchants looked for the estimates of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and about the middle of July next they would look for a considerable reduction in the tea duty ; but when they had imported their teas, they would find the reduction had not been made, and they would be obliged to keep them in bond. (Hear, bear.) It was true there might be conditions in our trade under which we might be content to vote some of our taxes for one year. Last year oar exports were 136,000,0001. ; for the first two months of the present year they were only 3,570,000/., being a rubs:- Goa et 161 per cent., which was lower than any year since 1857. They were told that our import trade was going on satisfactorily, but they did not im port many of those articles because the taxes bad been taken off, but because there was a deficient har vest in this country, and they were obliged to buy food in other countries. lie connected that with the very remarkable decline in our trade with the United States, for he found that during those first two months there was a total decline on various articles amounting to 37 per cent. (Hear, hear.) He thought that was another of that there might be a neceseity for a provisional W. and to vote the taxes for a short time only. But if that was so, should they at the same time withdraw a large sum from the permanent sources of the taxation of the country? (Hear, hear.) They had, moreover, to me what would be the working of the treaty with France. He believed that working would be satisfac tory. (Hear, bear.) They had also got to see what would be the seeking el the alterations in the spirit duties. On the sugar and tea duties they might, if necewity re quired, re-impose a duty of a penny a lb., but if they re =the paper duty it was lost altogether. He therefore en the house to pause before theycommitted themselves irrevocably tothe repeal of this tax. He was satisfied with the proposal as to the income tax. He believed that 81. in the pound would be 'akin, to balance tho account, but as they did not know what mkt happen it was as well that the rate should be 9d. The Chancellor of the Exchequer might reply that he hoped to reduce the expenditure, but that was a hope they might indulge in too long. The right hon. gentleman had been in Wiles near two years, but he had not done much in the way of reduction. He did not blame him. The feeling of the house, the feeling of the country, and he dared say the feeling of his colleagues, had been too strong for him. He hoped that the home would not part with the substance for the shadow. Mr. S. FITZGERALD moved the adjournment of the debate. Lord PAL3fERSTON mid he could offer no objection at th►t time of the night to the adjournment. Of course the adjournment would be to Thursday, but he thought that the announcement c the boo. member (Mr. Bentinck) th►t the debate would last many nights was not intended to be a true mediction. lie hoped that in consenting to an adjournment to Thursday, seeing that there would be so man' opportunities in committee for members to state their opinions on the resolutions, the debate would end on that day. Mr. DISRAELI said they ought to remember that this was the only occasion on which strictly according to the rules of the house they could have a dis cussion on the whole project of the government. He assured the noble lord that lie had no wish to obstruct the of business, but he was quite convinced that if they first a full discussian on the budget, they would make much mom progress than if they were confined to separate discussions on the resolutions. For his own port, lie bad not mode up his mind as to what course he should take upon the resolutions. Very much would depend on the course of the debate and on the tore of the ministers. Tho CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was quite sure it was oot the intention of his noble friend to oomplain of the course which bad been pursued. The course taken by the lion. member for Huntingdon was one which he was quite entitled to take : and he, for one, was pleased that he did take it, bemuse it gave to every member an eqq.ortunity of asking for explanation. He agreed with the right hou. goutlenoin that they had every reason to anticipate that the result of a disc USIIOII of this kind would be raid...tory. 11., war anxious that the discussion should rat Ise abridrod ; hut it wait very desirable, owing to the complicated arnumemeuta of the revenue department, that the dr. iaimr of the house upon the subject of the income tag should be taken as aeon II possible, and he therefore trusted that tie debate would terminate on Thursday. If not be should ask fir leave that the discussion should go on from day to day till the matter was disposed of. The m o tion for the adjournment of the debate was then pat and agreed to.

It ap peared from the plaintiff's case that he carried on business at Farnham, as • draper, and in Iteio Mr. Beatty was anxious to proceed in the Courts of Insolvency and Bank ruptcy, when e►e plaintiff lent him 1501., for which Mr. Beatty gave • bill of sale on his furniture.

(Before the Judge Ordhlar7, Mr. Justice Wiegman, and Mr. Judo* Williams.) _ 110111 TON V, DOTNYON. _ _ In this cue lire IficeintOo had procured a dissolution of her marriage, on the ground of cruelty and adultery. In the month of Ju1y,1849, when a girl of 17, she had eloped with the respondent, and was married to him at fia.deregia, Hanover-square, by a license obtained by Captain Boynton upon a false affidavit. The fugitives were pursued by the young lady's mother and stepfather, and they were over taken a few bows after the marriage. Under threat of proceedings for making the false affidavit, Chpisin Boynton wee induced to sign a paper which was convected into a post nuptial settlement. By this instrument it was provided that Mrs. Boynton should receive two-thirds of the annual premeds of her fortune (which consisted of about 18,700(. in stock), and that the husband should receive the remdning third, with benefit of survivorship, and remainder to the hem of the marriage, by their joint appointment or by the appointment of the survivor. In the event of there being no issue the money was to revert to the wife's family. There had been one child born of the marr iage. • Mr. Macaulay, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Jones), now applied to the court to direct the custody of this child to be given up to Mrs. Boynton, and that the whole of the annual proceeds of the settled property should be paid to her. Dr. Spinks appeared for Captain Boynton. The court sad that if Captain Boynton lost the custody of his son it would be owing to his own misconduct, whereas it would be bard to deprive a mother of her child because she had had the misfortune to be united to such a man. With regard to the second application before the court, it would be indeed strange ui these days, and after the passing of the act constituting the court, if a divorced husband could be allowed to retain for his own benefit property which had originally belonged to the woman, and when be bad violated all the duties of the relation that he had contracted with her. Dude, the eimumsMacee a/ the cm* Yrs. Boynton must, till further orders, have the custody of the chili!, reasonable Gomm being reserved to the respondent ; and the whole of the proceeds of the settled property must be paid to her, or in the event of her death must be devoted to the benefit of her son. The child must not be removed from the jurisdiction of the court without permission, but no order would be made as to costs. MLAVE TRADE Mr. W. E.

Mr. BUXTON asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what the object was of the recent expedition front thimble against a neigbbouriog chief ; whether the expe dition ems antisaeleed by her Majesty's government, and if Not. whether it had their approval. Mr. FORTEICUE said that the chief referred to ruled OM ewe of the Mationtetan tribes of the Gambia, and his piratical course; bad indieted severe loss and injury on the traders frequenting the river. Rearm, having been de nianded and refused, the governor ref the Cambia had blockaded the river, and this measure being also without result. he had subaequently fitted out an expedition, invaded the chief's dominions, and after strong resistance tool ciatipelled him to sue for mercy and promise re. parat:ou. The conduct of the go: error had been deemed worthy of the approval of the government. _ LACE FACTORIES. Lonl H. LENNOX asked the Secretary of State for the Howe Depiittmeat whether it was the intention of the government to introduce during the present session any measure to ram out the recommendations of Mr. Tremen breve. contained in his report on "the expediency of sub jecting the lace manufacture to the regulations of the racts.ry Acts." Sir G. C. LEWIS said that government approved of the recommerdations of Mr. Tremenheere, and intended to bring in a bill founded on his recommendations. Viscount HA YNHAM asked the Chancellor of the Ex ch quer whether, in onler to extend the useful employ ment of womeo, it would in his opinion be advisable to levy a to upon all n•en employed in linendrapers' and other sl•otes of that descriptiou. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHFAXER said that the relative employment of men and women was one of the moot important social questions with which they had to deal. Flo di:approved of the hostility which our operatives exhibited to theemployment of women, but he did not think it would be advisable tolevy a tax in promotion of thitt, object. (A laugh.)

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQI' ER said it was not the custom of the house to ask the government for • probable estimate of the produce of a tax, and he did not think it expedient that such a practice should be intro duced. With regard to the hop duty, it had been estimated oe • moderate crop and not on a total lose. If the govern ment were to propose any such measure as the reduction of the tee and sugar duties it would not be arranged to take date from July, as such an arrangement would entail • lose of a million sad • quarter on the year's reveisue.

The batter, it should he remembered, were paid out of the Conso lidated Fund, and the former out of the county rate.

Our difficulties, which were now great, would Lave been otherwise increased by 1,400,0'10/. What dot the right hon. gentleman Pay now! He maid we were quite safe bek-ause we bad • large surplus in the Exchequer, and therefore he could repeal the paper duty. But, as he (Yr. Miring) said before, this duty could not be put nu immin— ence it was off it remained off. (Hear, bear.) Upon what grounds del the right hoe. gentlemen pmpeee to take off the paper duty _—was it upon the ground that it was oppres sive? He (sr. Buries) admitted the iIICOUIMOSOIDCOS that sight Wee on the collection of excise duties levied upon maims articles; but what were the teats which showed that this duty was oppressive? Either the revenue diminished, or did sot iecrease in pro. portion to the increseed consuraptioe. But in the case of the paper duties, no such thing occurred. A return which bed been presented in another place showed that the amount of the paper duty in 185'4 was 1.1at.0110t., in l'ts9 it was 1,25,4,000/.. and in 1860 it was 1,321,0te1/. This was aot • tax which premed upon the resources of the country. It bad been maid that the house was pledgoil to repeal this deity, and that they promised to do so. But had there been no other pledges given or promises made? (Hear, bear.)

He descended, and die. covered the skeleton of a human being. There were like• wise portions of a male person's dregs, a pair of boots, and other articles. He searched the pockets, and found 12a. in silver and three half-pence in copper. He gave information to other persons on beard, and the remains were collected and put into a shell, when they were conveyed to the Poplar dead-house. George Evans, boatswain on board the Result, add that the vessel loft Part Phillip, Melbourne, with a general map and panniers. There bad been no one missing during the voyage. He fully believed that the deceased must haw, secreted himself in the pump-well in order to obtain a free pamige to England. Believed that be had been devoured by the rats, as upwards of 1,000 large animals were in the well-hole, the wester number of them being dead. Dr. Bain, of Poplar, said that he was called on Friday morales last to see the remain., which were those of a male person, apparently between the age of 25 mad 30 years, and about 5 feet 9 inches in height. The deceased might have died from starvation, or probably he had been suffo cated, and then the flesh had been eaten and gnawed by the vermin iu the well-hole. The Coroner said that this case was a very shocking one, and the clothes of the deceased, which evidently belonged to a person of the middle class, had better be preserved at the workhouse, in ease any one might make Inquiry, and also to assist in the identity of the deceased. The jury concurred, and returned a verdict, "That the remains of a male person unknown were found in the pimp well of the ship Result, lying in Green's dry dock, but how or by what means the deceased came by his death they bad no legal evidence to prove."
