FRANCE. OF Tat DLILT Imre.) PARIS, TUMIDLY Evantiro. The Moses'sr to-day confirms the news which I have spoken of as in circulation for three or tour days past—the resignation of M. Dronyn de Lbuys. As to the real ceases which have led to the retiremeat of a minister who, whether as regards independence of character, wealth, personal leaner*, and reputa tion for ability, stands conspicuously at the head of all the statesmen of the revived empire, I strongly incline to think that they will not now be made known. Bat I can state without any hesitation what is believed in official circles, and what I have no doubt 010111 TVII it is intended that the European public shall believe. The received reason is shortly this : It having been 'greed between the two governments that Lord John Russell and M. Drouyn de Lhuys should concur in every proposition entertained at the Vienna Confer ence, M. Drooyn de Lhuys, mistaking his authority and the sentiments of the Emperor, took upon himself, immediately after Lord John Russell's departure, to, open the Conferences afresh, and to promise to obtain the Emperor's acceptance of a proposition, supported' by Austria, which, the Emperor is of opinion, M wholly inadmissible. Thus, to all appearance, the disgrace of M. Drouyn de Lhuys is at once an acknow ledgment to England of the indiscreet slight pet upon her by that diplomatist, and a pledge that the war shall be carried on till the legitimate objects of the war are achieved, without any more dallying with the Cabinet of Vienna. In confirmation of this view, I am able to state, on good authority, that positire orders have been sent to Baron de Boturqueney to listen to no proposition for peace other than one of the alternatives pro pounded in the Conferences—the absolute neutrality of the Black Sea, or the limitation of the Russian naval forces therein. M. Dronyn de Lhuys left Paris for the country last night. He was accompanied to the railway sta tion by M. Thouvenel. The new loan of 700 millions, which I have already alluded to as being imminent, is at this moment under the consideration of the Council of State. It is thought that it will come out on the system of obli gations and primes. '1 he Bourse was, at the opening, in a state of con siderable perturbation, in consequence of the change in the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, but the Recite did not fall considerably, and soon recovered to pester• day's price. The decline of j per cent. in Consols wan attributed more to the administrative reform meetings than to foreign politics. The Rents closed at OSir. 40c., with a rise of 50. Most of the railways rase from lfr. to 2fr. 300. Austrian rose 2fr. 60c. An article in the Conatitutioanel, allowing by com parative figures the frightful and rapid advance in the price of every necessary of life in Paris, has pro- duced an extraordinary sensation. It tells us bet that u Bich (unfortunately) " we ourselves de know," but tae recapitulation " stirs men's blood" pro foundly. We quote the first few sentences : The approach of the outlive of the Universal Exposi tion hes soddenly caused in this capital a considerable advance is the rates of all things indispensable for life. Alimentary products, with firing and lodging, are be coming °Nuts of luxury. Can this advance, which has the spin rues of being made on a day and boor deter mined, be JR. tilled ? Is it that Pans, usually so well permit% d, should all at vice have found her stooks de create; are the markets of &Mil and Poney, folly peopled with cattle and sheep last month, only now become deserts!

On the eve of the 'Rosanna sub of these different classes of people have promised thiamine a rapid sad fantastic for lane, and, without plausible "um, without demand being is extras of the moldy. for there are very few stranger yet in Pens, the most absurd pretensions have all at ones bees manifested. The following interesting soldier's letter, which I translate from the original, I can certify to be genuine. It was received this morning by the ser vant of a friend of mine, from his eon, a corporal in the French army before Sebastopol : Inkermann Camp, before Sebastopol. Deer Pareats,-1 have just neeived your letter, which gave me great pleasure, for it has been rumoured in the camp that Paris is besieged by the workmen, sad I was afraid that something might lupus to you, but sew I am re sound. Now as to Sebastopol, things are ping cm toler ably well. Every day the Russians attack se on some point or other, but they are always the dupes, for since the 23rd of last month we are constantly on the lookout, sad they invariably get the worst of it. In the night of the 23rd of March they surprised no. We were not in force, but a - theism nobody hung back. The Russians came right into our trenches, and a frightful mugs followed. It was not a battle—lt was butchery. The men fought with pick erel', se if the bayonet did not wound enough. My bat talion cams up, but rather late. The Russians fled whets they heard our drums; but never mind, I had the pleasure of sending a few ballets after them. When I arrived they were already twenty pares off, SO that we could not charge them at the paha of the bayonet. The next day there was an armistice to bury the dead. We had 400 killed sad 212 woaoded,* and the Russians 900 dead. We deal know the number of their wounded. We took a Basks officer prisoner. He tells us that they bad 18,000 ma em ployed in this attack, and we answered him that we were bat three thousand. Then he was astadshed to find that three thousand Frenchmen had driven away 18,000 gaesians. It was a glorious Ode( for us, for it wee indeed a splendid coup. Bat the alit day, when we saw the field of battle, it was frightful. We could net stir a step is the Maass without treading upon dead bulks. Blood, blood, all about.

PROPOSED ENLARGEMENT. --•-- A public mating was held on Monday afternoon at Willis's Rooms, St. James's, Rear• Admiral Earl Spencer, K.G., is the chair, in furtherance of • scheme for the en lagensent of the above institution. The CADMIUM, in opening, the proceedings, said the advantages of sailors' homes bad already become notorious throughout the laud. La nearly all the great ports such institutions had been established, and the benefits re stating from them were seen is the morel and physical ad- vantages which they; secured to the seafaring population., TM were assembled in conaexion with a special hume—the . , Royal Sailors' Home at Portsmouth. That home began heft very smelt things in 1851 ; it had, however, rapidly hienese.,, and it was manifest that seamen appreciated the benefits which it was now proposed to extend. He held in! his hand a document headi d, " Returns of boarders. casual inmates, and others sleeping at the institution from the opening in April, 1831." It appeared that in May, June, and July, 1851, the number of inmates was as follows : Bowlers with beds, 456; e Lima inmates with beds, 547 ; ship. wrecked mariners, 27. From the let of August, 1851, to I the 31st of July, 1852, there were of boarders with beds, 2,487; casual inmates, 10,769; shipwrecked mariners, 44; casual inmates sleeping on mats in day-ball 2.749. From the Ist of Angust,lBs2, to the 31st of July, 1863, the inmates wan—Boarders with beds, 2,220 ; casual inmates with bwis, 11,846; ehiowrecked mariners, 61; casual inmates sleeping I ea mats, 2 6.53. From the Ist of August, 1853, to the 31st N July, 1864, the number of boarders with beds was 2,061 ; of creel inmates with beds, 8,316 ; t f shipwrecked niannen, 65 ; and of cased inmates 'leering 0.. mats, 1,442. From the Ist of August, 1851, to the 30. h of April, 1866, the re turn gave the following melt :—lssarders with beds, 4,123; sang inmates with beds, 16,125 ; shipwrecked mariners, 79; weal inmates sleeping on mate, 1,628 Toe total from the eseamesonnent was—Boarders with beds, 11,346; casual image with bed , 47.602; shipwrecked mariners, 266; casual inmates sleeping on mats in day hall, 8,363. Re thought the last item, the number of those who had slept on the floor rather than resort to places of doubtful character, afforded a striking proof that the home wee appreciated by seamen, and ought to be extended. Es would now speak of the patronage and an eouragement besmwed upon the institution by her most gracious Majesty. His Royal Highness Prince Albert visited the home during the spring, and was pleased on that amnion to 'epees his approbation; bat the best proof of royal approval was to be found in the following letter, ad-' dressed to Captain Gambier, the Ashman of the committee, and dated the very day of Prince Albert's visit: " Osborne, March 19, 1865. Sir,—l have received the commands of her Majesty the QOM'S, and his Royal Highness the Prince, to inform you, that holing deeply the importance at the present time, when so many seamen are employed in her Majesty's melee, of providing a mach larger extent of accommodation to the Portsmouth Sailors' Home, than at present exists, it is the intention of her Majesty and his Royal Highness to contri bute a joint donation of 30u1. towards the expense of the present proposed Mermen of available room. lam further directed to inform you, that in the event of so considerable a slam being collected, as to give al early prospect of your being able to make use of the next boons belonging to the establishment, for the purpose of affording a still larger number of seamen a clean, safe, sod respectable lodging, when on shore—her Majesty would be willing la addition to give 2001. more, to ensure so desirable • resuit.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, " Captain Gambier, R.N." " C. B. Poiret. It was to forward an object in which her Majesty had expressed so crest an interest that that meeting had been convened. Her Majesty wished that in the absence of the Baltic and Blaca Sea fleets great exertions should be made to enlarge the sooommodatioa in the Portsmouth Sailors' Home, in order that when the fleets returned, the seamen who manned them might find that those who had been living in England bad not been uamindful of their welfare. (Cheers.) Capt. OAMBIZII, R.N., they made a statement on behalf of the committee with regard to the preemie position of the home and the necessity for *alleging it. He contended that the institution ought not to be regarded as a mere local one, as it was eatablishea for the benefit of seamen who came erally from parishes scattered all over the country, end its scuts were not confined to seamen belonging to the royal navy, but wore extended to the sailors of the whole of this country end its dependencies. He then gave a minute description of the Sailors' Home as it at present exists. The institution comprised, he said, • lugs hall In front, where the men assembled for smoking, reading, and other pur poses, and a very fair library, which was presented to it by the Admiralty. Th.:* wee also • diniag-room where 140 poisons could dine at the same time. Above, there were three stories of dormitories, principally in wings, and these wings, in accordance with a plea approved by his Royal Hiatuses. Prince Albert, they wished to carry on so as to joie the old baildiug with the new one, there being at pre sent an open space between the two. Mat of the bed-rooms were small cabins—en arrangement which afforded security for the clothes and other property of the inmates; but, there being a number of rooms in the house which were too small to be turned into cabins, these were fitted up with open beds for the use of men belonging to vessels lying at Spithead, who, owing to stress of weather, or any caner cause, might happen se be detained on shore. There was also provided for the amuse ment of the inmate, a skittle-ground, where each man who entered was allowed to have while he remained a single pint of beer, so that it was impossible for the players to got intoxicated. The entrance of the building was very near the dockyard gates. With • view to enlargement, the committee had minhased • small house abutting oa the dining-roem, and three or four adjoining houses might be obtained for the same purpose for about 4001. emelt. The seenring of these woe all that we required to make the hese essplete, and to provide the requisite aememsmededes even for the large number of seamen that frognosted Petlesesth. The sum for which he now asked on behalf of theeommittee wee 3,0001.; and it was in order to bring into operation the pre miss. in Hanover-street that her Majesty's additional NU had been graciously promised. The pliant captain then showed the need of a sailors' home by rm (erring to scenes of drunkenness and debauchery which, he said, were frequently . witnessed among sailors at Portsmouth ; and to the drugging of liquor, the extort:ices and the robbery which they habitually suffered at the hands of wimps. To illustrate the beneicial working of I the institution, be observed, that • boat which had been employed by the semantics of the Home is visiting Healer Hospital, had completely driven away the crimps who need to waylay the invalids that went there on their arrival from abroad. At Spithead, too, he remarked, when nasals arrived at the anchorage they were visited by the best of the institution, and if pomible induced to pat their ellelles on board and to avail themselves of the shelter and pester.

Yesterday the annual general meeting of the governors of this institution was held in Hanover-square Rooms- In the absence of the president, Earl Manton, Lord Viscount SIIIIIMOTON, M.P., was called to the chair. Dr. Btrtvimma, Monetary Becretary, read the report of the council, which stated that the general result. of their labours daring the past year were of a most gratifying cha racter. In the first place, they had obtained for the insti tution the patronage of her Majesty the Queen, who had been graciously pleued to allow of its being ;ailed the Royal Medical Benevolent College. At the anniversary dinner, held en the 28th of February last, under the proof- Mosey of his Itheelleng the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, the eabicriptione amounted to 2,3031.—a tangible proof that the institution was assuelleg a permanent character. Its funds had also been Increased by legacies to the extent of 7001 and by a donation of 6001. There was at present before par liament a bill for the incorporation of the college, which the council were confident of having passed into a law. The buildings at Epsom were fast appoeshlog completioa ' and it was proposed to open a portion of them on the Ist or Octo ber neat for the reception of pensioners and foundation scholars. Mr. °LITITZ/. M.P., moved the adoption of the report. The Tassel:inns (Mr. Propert) then stated that since the founding of the College the council had received 21,6081. 71. sd. and had the promise of subscriptions which would bring le amount up to 30,809!. The expenditure up to the present time had been 16,4651. 7e. 4d. 83 that there was in hand a balance of above 8,0001. The liabilities of the institution amounted to 24,000!. The proems which the council had made dating the last three years was perfectly astonishing, and showed that the dears was favoured by the Almighty. lilted been mermaid from the pulpit that medical men had opened the way for the clergyman to many a sick room, from which be would without their aid have been excluded. finch conduct brought with it the blewing of H , and he felt sure that the Almighty would in His in fi nite goodness continue to foster the insti tution—of the permanent success of which he had sot the slightest d übt. When he considered that there were in England and Wales 16,000 medical prtctitioners, • subscription ot 10e. 6d. from each of whom would give to the College a revenue of 8,000 guineas a year, and he did not think it would ever require more than 2,0001. per arena. Mr. Paoesav received the dusks of the meeting for his indefatigable exertion' ; and some routine titulary, having been disposed ot, the proceedings terminated with the usual compliment to the chairman. BRITISH AND FORRI9N SCHOOL SOCIETY. The annual general meeting of the members and friends of this society was held yesterday at the lestitution in the Bovesgh-road. The pomading* began With IC examination of the children, sad at 12 o'clock the busi- nese of the meeting commenced, the Doke of ARGYLL, one of the Vice-Presidents, in the chair. His Onsca, in opening the proceedings, referred to the great progress the schools had made during the lest few ye►rs, and then dwelt upon the value of the society as the mouthpiece and the standard of important edu cational principles. It mast be gratifying to the friends of education, that five, if not sin, measures of education were at present before parliament, competing fur the favour of the representatives of the people. Re thought, if these schemes were well disatmed, it wool.' be Sohn] that t►e differences were small, and that all _ Effie Lies would vanish. The first treat party of educa tionists to which he would allude was the sectarian party, sgainst whose views great clamour bad been raised. He thought it was a mistake to accuse that party with being adverse to religion. He knew several persons who sup. ported the menhir plan of education, who set a high value upon the inculcation of religious prii.olpies. They said that, considering the division of religions opinions, all they could down to unite in giving secular education to the children, leaving religious instruction to the parents and gaudisarof the children themselves. Bat he thought that in the secular plan the advocates forgot that they had to deal with a large number of children whou parents and guardians bad no means of education to give them. Of course secular education might be conducted religiously or irreligiously ; but if there were no strong party bias on the part of the teacher, he believed his mode of instruction oould not have an injurious effect upon religion. The neat great scheme was that under which, while religious educa tion might be strictly attended to, secular education might be entirely neglected. A third party was that to which the British and Foreign School Sung, belonged, conveying re ligious teaching on the basis of Scripture alone. That eye tem he believed to be the beat. He was quite sure that re ligion weld be thoroughly taught by Scripture alone, and without reference to catechisms and creeds; and he trusted that some measure would pus through parliament this session which would overtake the " waste places" that existed, and whioh would be the means of educating the poor in a scriptural and yet liberal manner. (Hear, hear.) The reportestated that the total ren eipts of the year have been 17,369/. 16,. 6 , 1 , and the expenditure, Including a re payment of loan, 16,69 U. 19s. Id. Several resolutions in support of the society were unani mously adopted. rents and privileges_ of the clergy, the Military Orders of Santiago, Calatraix, Aloantara, Montag, and San Juan de 'maiden, religions communities and associations, chapels, the sequestration of Don Carlos, communes, charitable institutions, and gene rally all possessions whatever held in mortmain. The Archbishop of Toledo had presented a protest against the bill, bat it was couched in moderate and dignified terms; that of the Pope's Nuncio had not been presented. One of the journals says that the Nuncio was preparing to leave, but the government had not been informed that such was his intention. In the Cortes, on the god, M. Avecilla look eon sion to declare, in the name of the democratic party, that it had never entered into any negotiation with Mr. Soule for the solo of the islands of Cuba. A committee had resolved to propose to the Cortes to adjourn from the Ist July to the let September. A letter mays : The bankers of London and Paris have formally declared that they will not moke any less to Spade, unless sime eresagemset be made with respect to the rejected coupons. Aecordieg to letters from Cabs, the penons engaged in the recent conspiracy bad such a large o'mmeod of money, that after purchasing arms, hiring vessels, and paying filibusters., they had 3 00,000 piastres (1.600,0001 r.) in hand, which sum Ind been seised. The correspondence between the con spirators and their agents in the United States had also, it is stated, fallen into the hands of the authorities. ERUPTION OF VESUVIUS. NAPLES, KAT 2. Everything in Naples is for the present extin guished by one great fact—the eruption of Vesuvius. King, Ministers, and policemen, in their leveret spheres, are all scorched and shrivelled up into no thingness. lam disposed to think that a Neapolitan might now wear • girdle round his waist, or a beard, or a wide-awake, so all-ab , orbing is the eruption of Vesuvius. We have been expecting and longing for it for some time. The well' at Resins had been dried up. More than once since 1830, the moun tain has thnodered and smoked, and in the begin ning of the year • portion of the crater fell in. Great numbers of strangers have, therefore, waited till very late in the season, in the hope of seeing this extraordinary spectacle, and have just taken their leave, when the mountain. as in " dis petto," breaks out. The principal guide, who is called Conalino, reported on the morning of the Ist May that he had just ascended the mountain, and that on arriving at the summit there were a thousand reports as of cannon, and then was thrown up a discharge of red-hot stones. The rain and mist, and smoke, however, all mingled together, prevented a near approach or nearer ob lion, and we are, therefore, for the present left to our unaided obser vations. During the whole of yesterday nothing was to be seen but smoke and cloud, which enveloped not only the mountain but the whole coast, and then swept away in immense volumes towards Capri. In the very centre of the cloud, however, might be seen an ashy sulphsrous coloured plain, which, by a shade dif ference in the colour, and by the well marked outline, indicated that it was not all smoke, but that lava was coming down. As evening came on the heavens were in a bright glow, and the whole population flocked down to the mole of Santa Lucia, to see the magnificent spectacle. It was one of those on ' defined scenes which give the imagination full play. The form of the mountain was indistinguish able, nothing was to be seen but clouds, Make, and fire. Up to the very zenith the Mask was covered with large bulbous clouds, Mask u ink, and fringed with white; under- Math, and half-way down the mountain, everything mason fire, whilst right in the centre of it shot up a efts of black smoke. Still lower again, dark clouds weed the base of the mountain, having, too, as their entre-piece and contrast the river of lava which is running down towards Resins. A few days since I was exploring with the miners, among the ruins which still lie buried under the modern city. The neighbouring mountain was rumbling and snaking, and referring the inhabitants, as it were, to the history of the past, but they took no notice of it, ad I doubt whether they now do so, except to ce llulite the amount of pt it may bring in to them ; liar an eruption of Vesseins is to them as good as a use to the London thieves. During the whole of the bet night there was a perfect procession of carriages Sowards Resins. I contented myself with re maining here for the first view, but probably *all go over to-night, and will send you farther details by Saturday's boat. The scene was rendered still grander by an eclipse of the moon, which took place about two hours and a half after midnight. A report is circulated that his Majesty wes shot at on the lag day of the late review at Capita. It is said that the ball passed near enough to be heard. I doubt the fact. I believe it more probable that it was an accident on the part of a soldier in loading with& blank cartridge. What is certain, I think, is, that the King immediately after broke up the camp. For a punishment, the whole regiment was sent back to Naples on foot, instead of returning, as usual, by railway. The sol dier was put under arrest, and the colonel of the arent wasprimanded for the bad discipline of n re . Another fact is that on Monday last a large Plsdmootese steam-frigate, laden with troops, came nearly into port, and after making the round of the shore went off again. The Sardinian colours were lying, and the band was playing the national air. General Marmara was, it is added, on board. There was no communication with the shore as far as I can bear. This demonstration is the more remarkable at the present moment when the Consul-General of Naples at Genoa has just been deprived of his exequattar, and the Corriere Mercantile speaks of the conduct of the Consul as declaring the two countries , I to be in a state of war.

We give now some details of the Amnion news (from Balton, 25th April), which were not included in our despatch yesterday : Another steamer, the William Knox. from Cin cinnati roe St. Louie, was destroyed by fire on the 23rd ult., below Louisville.

The .proposi don to fund the fl oating debt of San Franc isco met with much opposition. The weather has been fine, and the crops promise an abundant harvest. The miners are generally reported to be doing well. The excitement regarding the new Kern river mines had subsided. The amount of gold shipped from San Francisco for the first quarter of 1866 was 8,910,313 dole., less than in 1854 by 1,768,867. The legisla ture was expected to adjourn about the middle of April.

As the ire of those officers who have been conspi cuous in the late disgraceful proceedings increases in vehe mence, and displays itself in the pensoution of the an offending Sergeant Brclie, of the let Royals, so does the sympathy of the public evince itself in the condemnation of men who belie the Mk of "gentlemen," to which they lay claim. Hitherto the public have treated their "jukes" with contempt, but a sterner coarse of procedure will follow, we have no doubt, the following narration of "incidents" that have marked these almost unprecedented occurrence. As our materials are derived from the best possible sources, it will be as will to take up the case at the .appearance of the Acting-Adjutant-General Foster, at the Barracks oa Saturday week, of whose inquiry a brief outline was given in our last. Sergeant Brodie havieg beet brought into the orderly-room, the Acting-Adjutant-General questioned him as to the occurrences on the morning of the duel, and took down the answers, with the exception of the statement of the sergeant, that Adjutant Webster ordered the guard to " knock him (Brodie) down with the butt-end of their car bines, if he resisted them." The general said he cid not want to hear that. Adjutant Webster was present during the inquiry, and repeateily laughing, and tellies the general that "half of Sergeant Brodie's statements were lies." Sergeant Brodie was then sent back to his room a prisoner, and in about half-an-hour again taken to the orderly-room, when Lieut.-Colonel McQueen, Adjutant Wehstcr, Lieut. Hartapp, and other officers were present, bat the general had left. The colonel addressed the ser geant, saying, "I have taken upon myself to have you brought Welk, to inform you that I release you, on my own responsibility; you don't know your duty. There's not another man in the service that would have done as you have don*. I can tell you that there i s a sergeant -saddler made in your place, out with the regiment, and you can't hold your situation as sergeant-sadaer much longer, for you will have to go to your duty." Sergeant Brodie expreised his regret, but said, " That (pointing to Webster) was the man he went out to save. The sergeant was then released. Last Wednesday, however, at alsJut ten o'clock at night, the regimental sergeant went to Brodie's room, and informed him that it was his (the sergeant's) duty to place bits (Brodie) under arrest, " for making false statements affecting the character of an officer." He was accordingly arrested. On the neat morning (Thursday), the sergeant was ushered into the orderly-room, and the charge read over to him, when he declined making any statement in answer to it. He still remains under arrest, but up to yestereay evening no legal charge or order of court-martial had been served on him. Sergeant Steidle has been in the regiment 18 years, and never before been under punishment, or charg.d with any dereliction of his duty. With respect to the chugs tow brought against tke sergeant, his friends repreeeat the following a. the real farts. About flee weeks sines, Baumgarten represented th .t be wee in want of money, aced Brodie offered to gut him some, and subsequently the watch belonging to tee former was transferred to the poresetoo of the latter, who advanced 20/. on it, as Brodie viewed the matter; bat it appears, from Baunigarten's statement, that he looker' upon the transaction as a bona fide purchase, ant. not as a loan. Shortly after, Brodie inadvertently told a Mr. Holism (tbe veterinary surgeon) of the affair, in eonfidenee, and hence it became known to the Utters. As a proof of the extent of persecution and annoy ance now exercised towards the sergeant, it is stated that Captain Fitswygram, Lieutenant Rartopp, and Lieutenant Webster have given strict orders that no work whatever is to be taken to him. So much for the cue of the sergeant ; let us now turn to Cornet Baumgerter. Here is a brief glance at his experi ence, si'ice entering the Royal Enniskillen Dragoons, also drawn from authentic sources. About a week or ten days after joining the regiment, while reading in his room with a college friend, the door was burst open suddenly, the lights i extinguished, and three or four cfficers entered, one of them with a shovelful of hot coals, over which was sprinkled some Cayenne pi pper. A most Buff .eating vapour was thus pro duced, and upon the window being opened by Cornet Baum garten, "quantity of water was thrown in. A few days alter that the room door was again burst open, the drawers con taming his linen and regimeetals completely filled with water, and filthy water poured into the ewer. This treatment led Baumgarten to complain to his own captain, Fitzwygrase, who assured him that it should not occur again, as he (Captain Fitzwygram) would use his influence to prevent it. A very short time after that, however, Baumgarten's room door was again broken open, and three or four officers entered in. Baumgarten was then in bed, and the place in darkness. Ilia drawers were all turned over and their contents spread about the room, while a quantity of broken glare was thrown upon the bed, as well as water. Baumgarten jumped out of bed and struck sue of ti e in truders in the face, and a fight ensued, eventually the officer succeeding in driving his tormentors away. Upon looking at the room afterwards it presented a perfect wreck, everything being destroyed that could be broken. The plume of his helmet was out to pieces, while the stable was visited, and the forelock of the charger cut off close to the skin, the latter bleeding from the operation, and the animal being deprived of its tail, thus rendered it value. less for a time as a charger. Baumgarten could put up, with inch treatment no longer; he accordingly, on the next morning, complained to the acting ooloael H'Queen. That officer began to inquire into the matter seriously, when Webster, the acting adjutant, made an apology to the insulted cornet, and promised that if he would withdraw the charge, he (Webster) would guarantee that no further annoyances should take place. Baumgarten, acting upon that profane withdrew the complaint. But a few days, how ever, had elapsed, before the annoyancei were repeated with greater violence than ever, seven windows of his room being broken at once, 'swell as the looking-glass ; a brash cut to pieces and placed in the bed ; a private drawer broken open, and the manuscripts and papers cast on to the floor ; and on another occasion an improper ci amenr was pushed into his room, and the door fastened, so that Baumgarten was obliged to let himself out of the window to the ground, and go round, titer the officer, had left, unfasten the door, and send the intruder adrift. lie then complained to Cap tain litzwygram, who promised to inquire into the matter ; but no apology was made to the outraged cornet, and the arrangements respecting the duel subsequently took place. Since that affair occarred, Captain Fitawygram visited Cornet Baumgarten, and told him certain conditions that were required to be complied with by him, by the officers of the mess, end subsequently committed such conditions to writing, and handed the paper to the cornet, requesting him to sign them, and retire from the service, or he would be forced to quit the army in disgrace. These conditions were to the following effect:-Ist. To state that sufficient =tihad been discovered respecting his early career to the officers to treat him with contumely. 2nd. That Lord Shaftesbury should, in the House of Lords, through an explanation and statement furnished by him (Cornet Baumgarten) make a retractation of the statement his lord ship had made to the House of Lords, to the effect that " the acts of the officers towards Baumgarten were filthy I and , and could not be tolerated among Christian gentian's, the commanding officer was a Christian and a entinnes." The last condition was, that ! he (Beensanets) should immediately retire from the regi. Od sewn Cornet Baumgarten refused to comply with enett eandltions, and there the matter stands now. It ls undeenieed that a full detail of the whole particulars has been finished to Lerd Shaftesbury and the Hon. Mr. Stanley, and the public may therefore rest assured that if the Have Hurd' fails to punish such flagrant acts of in justice and disgusting toga-foolery that have been displayed towards both the cornet and the sergeant in a manner cora -1 mensuate with their character, the British legislature will take the matter in its bends, and, we hope, mete out fair and impartial justice to all pasties. It should be stated Out Lieut. Webster has been re/loved of his adjutancy, and the colonel has been surammed to town. It is understood that the services of Mr. T. T. Delmont, solicitor of Canterbury, and Mr. Huddlestone, banister, of London, have been roomed for Sergeant Brodie, should he be brought to trial. A public meeting is also to be held in the city in a few days, in kis behalf. RELEASE OF SERGEANT BRODIE. CUM/DUEY, TUSgDAT. Sergeant Brodie remained wafted to his room until tea o'clock this morning, when the orderly-room clerk wee sent to inform him that his pralines was required in the orderly room. When the sergeant rushed the room, he found the Aeting•Colonel McQueen, Captain Fitswygram, and Cornet Baumgarten, already there. The colonel then read a paper, the usual preliminary form for a court-martial, and at its conclusion informed Brodie that he was discharged from arrest by order of the Adjutant-General, who expressed his opinion that Baumgarten ought not to have been an such terms with a now oommissioned °Meer. 3 TING. • re, 84t 71b demended., Liana) 1 knob) 3 vista. • est 416. let 71b) ▪ ) mew) 1 I earn let 41b (man) 4 Intot) 5 ally by two • Ida sad up.

The first annual meeting of this new association was held yesterday, at Willis's Rooms, and wu very numerously and fashionably attended. The Earl of Cardigan had been announced to take the chair, but was (as stated by Major Powys) unable to attend, in consequence of having received • command from the lions Guards Logo down to Edinburgh dee the purpose of reviewing a regiment of cavalry, and in Ids absence the Duke of Wellington presided. The CMAIRMAN said it was not necessary to seek to increase the sympathy which they felt for the soldier, but their duty was to provide for thou children who were too young 'to estimate the glory which bad fallen to them from their fathers, and yet bad nothing to shield them from poverty or the temptation to crime. They ought to do all they could to raise the position of the soldier in the country. The exertions of Major Powys in connection with thiCentral Association must he well known to the country ! ; but something was yet left to be done, u notbisg could be more deplorable than the state of the unprotected female elephant of soldiers. It was to meet this want that the new association bad been formed. Details of its objects would he more fully gone into by others ; and all he could say was, that he hoped the time would soon come when to have bees brought up by the association would be a passport for • girl bkprosperity and happiness. (Hear, hear.) The Rev. W. H. FOT (honorary secretary) said that the provisional committee had only been called together for the first time on the Bth March, and Maas that time the public had amply fulfilled the anti ' eipations of its support of the Soldier's Infant Rome. The committee had felt it their duty to attend to a hist given by the noble chairman to make the institution exclu sively a home for soldiers' daughters, although it had been at first intended to include boys as well. Government was by no means behind in providing for the boys left orpliaas by soldiers in the two schools which they maintained. The foliation of the institution was not only to train girls ro m to hissome good domestic servants, but also to do sometbieg Sonia up the children of einem who had fallen in the pre sent war, by sending some of them to training schools, that pay m*ht be educated as mistresses and governesses. The Rev. R. °tato (chaplain-general) observed that Men were some things in ocianexios with soldiers' daughters whisk ought to he well known. The ondition of thou con geal* with the Guards was sad, bat nothing when coca pared to the condition of those of the line.
