LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 5, 1862. Notwithstanding the boldness of the King of ITALY'S proclamation—the all but unanimity of the Chambers in supporting the Italian Premier and his colleagues—the pride and the power of the French EMPEROR, with his well-disciplined divi sion already at Rome, and his grand army of 500,000 or 600,000 men at home, ready to aid that garrison when - necessary—we may rest perfectly convinced of this, that VICTOR EMMANUEL, that RATAZZI, that NAPOLEON himself, will think twice before laying a hand upon GARIBALDI. It is idle to argue, as our chief morning contem porary has argued but very recently, that the great Italian Patriot and Hero would find it difficult to induce even a hundred adventurers to march under his banner in the event of his unfurling it for an advance upon Rome. Wherever GARIBALDI might choose to direct his steps, , in defiance of no matter what antagonist—there, against the foe pointed out to his compatriots, the latter would follow him for a certainty. The intelligence now being brought to us, mail after mail, from the Roman peninsula, proves this incontestably to be the fact. And it is not intelligence coming to us from the South alone. Tidings of the nature here hinted at arrive in larger and larger abundance from Genoa, as well as from Sicily. GARIBALDI may call for his Garibaldians, said the Times very recently, but it will be in vain! All this being but an echo, the latest and the loudest, of the old familiar derision and incredulity. "You may call spirits from the vasty deep : but—will they come ?" Italy is answering this half-articu lated unbelief—and her answer is tolerably plain already in its precision. The youth of• Italy, to whom GARIBALDI more especially appealed, are not remaining, either in the North, or in the South, in any way apathetic. It matters nothing to the would-be recruits at Genoa that GARIBALDI has sent two of his personal suite thither to reason with them, to assure them in the name of the General, that their hastening at this juncture to Sicily is altogether superfluous. The assurance comes too late, even though it comes to them earnestly and urgently from the Sicilian head-quarters of GARIBALDI'S new expeditionary force. They have already heard the General's summons—these young Italian patriots— and are thronging by twos and threes, in clusters, in crowds, hundreds upon hundreds, from the different northern provinces of the Italian Kingdom, hastening down to Genoa for the merest chance of embarka tion for Sicily—for GARIBALDI ! Striplings many of them, bat still strong enough and old enough, in ambition and in patriotism, to covet the privilege of weilding a sword in the ranks marshalled, it matters but little to them against what fearful odds, by GARIBALDI. Nay, to reach Genoa, they have pawned what little they possess in the world in the vague hope of getting off somehow, from that sea port. to swell the numbers of the little nucleus of a patriot army now being gathered together by their idolized chief in Sicily. It is not, then, because we regard the motive of the present enterprise of GARIBALDI as an insane and idle daydream, that we grieve to have observed the rupture that has now taken place between the General on one hand, and the Parliament, the Ministry, and the KING upon the other. Whatever else may come of it, we may be tolerably sure of this that GARIBALDI Will not find himself as isolated as some of the friends of Italy(?) have imagined. It is because we anticipate —rather than this—the wider and yet wider separa tion not of One Man, together with a mere handful of followers from all the rest of the section sud denly estranged from him—for what reason ? lite rally because he, and he alone, is really consistent to the last !—it is because we anticipate a far wider division among the Italians now—if there is to be a ny division among them at all (a matter still to this very moment problematical)—it is simply and solely because of this momentous hazard that we find ourselves, in a manner, standing aghast before the very audacity of GARIBALDI'S new enterprise. When it is maintained, however, that the destina tion of GARIBALDI is (beyond any serious doubt of it) the Eternal City —we cannot for our own part but remember what, without question, GARIBALDI himself has unquestionably taken into account in the matter : namely, that—there are more ways to Rome than one. 11 , hen he quitted Genoa a couple of years since to achieve the almost bloodless conquest of the King dim of the Two Sicilies, he did not lead his 800 men point blank to Naples—but he went to Naples by way of Sicily, he landed at Marsala, and thence, after crossing swords with the Bourbon soldiers, advanced upon Palermo. There is, we should presume, but small probability that while certainly in any case staking everything upon the hazard of a die by entering resolutely upon his now rapidly advancing expedition, GARIBALDI should, upon any conceivable pretext whatever, lead his band of patriot followers to all but certain de struction ! Namely, by conducting them in the first instance,•at the very outset of his enterprise against !till , the soldiers of the Emperor NAPOLEON and the army of Ring VICTOR EMMANUEL ranged against Coming in battle array !

THE SUN. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 5, 1862. that potentate whom all Italy has so much rea son (instance Nice ! instance Savoy !) to regard with such an overwhelming sense of gratitude ! —the civil and military authorities of the Italian Government thus pushed southwards, are closing, to all appearance, rapidly and surely round GARIBALDI — as though it were a contracting circle of fire about a scorpion ! It is a desperate game alto gether. And one, the signal for which—it certainly must be admitted—GARIBALDI was the first to sound. True, that he did so. But—admitting that—must we not also add, under how much provo cation. Whatever that provocation, nevertheless, it is lamentable that the signal should have been given as GARIBALDI has now given it. For the , immediate result of a collision between the con fronting forces threatens to be in every way most perillons. Here—NAPOLEON, with a firm foothold in the very centre of Italy, and with all the armed prideand glory of France at his back to support him if needful! Here—GARIBALDI, the most daring and heroic Patriot living strong in his individual honesty, and in the love, almost the idolatry, of 25,000,000 Italians. The letters and papers which have been received bythe if they do not add any ma t er i a l factsforwarded by telegr a ph, g i ve us some interesting information on the state of public feel to Europa, those feel ing in the North. They show that while the PRE swENT is determined to carry on the war with vigour the people by no means evince the spirit which they did a year ago. The PRESIDENT tries a little shifting of the principal actors in the scene, bringing to Virginia the principal Federal general from the West. HALLECK is commander-in-chief, and he, with POPE and BURNSIDE from North Carolina, were holding a council of war at Wash ington, though in war one competent head is better than those of fifty in council. POPE is beginning in his command in Western Virginia with vigorous words and deeds too, and means to show poor, dull M'CLELLAN what a little youthful dash can do. Whether he can show him how to take Richmond is yet to be seen. But though the PRESIDENT shows no symptom of flinching, the people do. When the Europa lett, the anniversary Bull's Run, the 21st of July, had just passed, and the feeling produced by the reverse at Richmond is quite a contrast to that of last year. Then the youth and middle age too of the North were ready to enlist every where. No doubt was entertained after the first great disaster, that it was but for the mighty North to arise in its majesty, and the South would quail, and if not, be crushed at once. Very different is the feeling generated by the second disaster. Distrust of Northern generalship —fear that that of the South is really superior —a compulsory perception of the fact that the Southerns can fight not only with dashing, but with persistent bravery for seven days together— the hesitation of the Border States, and. their de termination to maintain that real link of Union with the South, slavery—the vastness of the road less territory on which they can make no impres sion—and the demonstrated unanimity and revived courage of the South—all this is telling on a com munity which sees daily waggon loads of sick and wounded brought home to tell sad stories or to die, which sees its gold purchased at 20 per cent. pre mium for foreigners, and which knows that the tax-gatherer is now about to make his unaccus tomed calls. Above all, is the different spirit of the PRESIDENT and his people seen in the slow progress of the en listment. We gather from the correspondence that special reasons are telling against it with all the classes which furnished previously the greater number of recruits. The native Americans find all their patriot aspirations disappointed. The corrup tion of public men at home, and the obstinacy of the South, are what they had not looked for. Tbey believe in the integrity of the PRESIDENT, though many doubt his capacity, but they think little of either the integrity or the capacity of those under him. Hence they hold back. The Irish have furnished a very large portion of the recruits. They have been a very different set from Major O'REILLvs' heroes of Spoleto, for they have been amongst the bravest of the brave in the Northern armies. But the Irishman hates and is jealous of the negro as a competitor in the labour market: he likes slavery because it keeps the slaves in the South, and the employment of the negroes in the camps, actually offends him. However, the most telling fact with him is, that he may get half a dollar a day in the camp, but can earn a dollar and a half in the safer employment of reaping corn. So, though from no love of peace, he beats his bayonet into a reaping hook. The Germans also, who have hitherto enlisted in considerable numbers, furnished nume rous soldiers to the army—a great part of them having been already drilled before their emigration to the States, they were ready made soldiers, Their grievance seems to be that of gaining no pro motion. Though conscious of military superiority, they see alt the posts in the army bestowed on the "native American." Thus, in addition to the gene ral causes of backwardness to enlisting, there are many special causes to hinder its success. We should not therefore be surprised if, unexpectedly almost to themselves, the Northerns begin to flag in this now obviously useless war. Nothing but an immense levy can give any chance of success; this they must know, but at present there is no appearance of such a levy being raised. " Look at France" is the common taunt with which the enemies of free voting and extended suf frages greet the advocacy of these popular rights. Well, look at France, we also rejoin, if you wish, for a specimen of the blessings of—" Influence." In France, we are told, that the ballot and universal suffrage work in favour of a despotism the most absolute France has ever seen, In France, we re ply, they do not work, but are worked, by a power which seized on the 2d of Decem ber, through that aristocratic institution, a standing army, on all the physical force and machinery of the State The master of sixty legions is, not merely in the general sense, but in the sense of individually managing and controlling, master, not only of every prefect, but of every mayor in France; and the master openly uses his servants in the management of his nominal elec tions—Penalty of not submitting to be used, in stant dismisisal! Here is an instance of this a day or two more than a week old. The Mayor of Merville, in the department of Nord, received from the prefect of the department instructions to " direct universal suffrage" against M. PLICHON, the present deputy poli tical .c . )! the department. M. VERHAEGHE had been MaYor uninterruptedly of the place for thirty-two Y e a'rs; and was an and with that Of e intimate friend of M. PLICHON, and p tobabi recentlir and Y agreed with the deputy in his opinions, For so long, he tells us, he was honoured Witt the • confidence of his fellow citizens, Govern ments since 1830 he various successive Govern bi--a:ll:lle:rated by the hand of the EMPEROR for faithful services—re elected only very thei r of the Council o f the Arrondisenient b y t and supported to the last inc Z e ln t unous suffrages, by the unvary majority of the Municipal Council, Yet, with all these claims to the respect and consideration of any to comply with the man date t ouse Government, h i f s o re exertions refusing ertio ns to unseat his friend, he was first called upon for his resignation ; and having refused to resign, with e it w h was srodpisemr dismissed. .es He felt, therefore, called upon to state to his fellow-citizens the facts of his abrupt dismissal, in order to prevent malevolent suppositions and inju rious suspicions. This he did in a letter, in which he gives the following account of the transaction : " Called upon a year ago to direct, in future elec tions, universal suffrage against M. PLICHON, our present Deputy to the Legislative Corps, I informed the authorities that I never would be false to the dictates of my heart ; but that I should remain neutral in the contest, and confine myself to the pure and simple distribution of the voting tickets in favour of the Government candidate, who, by the way, is to the present moment completely unknown to us; but that I could not belie my intimate con victions, and act and speak publicly against the man who for thirty years past has been my per sonal friend." One would have thought that neutrality would have been all that even the Government of the Second Empire would have asked of any returning officer, but it seems that the temptations of power are as irresistible in political slave owners as in those of the Southern States of America. Happily in this case the slave can refuse to remain in the master's service; that liberty is worth something; it is at least open to him to quit his position, and to tell every one why he does so. M. VERHAEGHE, with prudence, or with truth, it is impossible in England to say which, throws the blame of the whole affair on the subordinates, and professes his fidelity to the supreme authority. Adverting to the conso lation afforded him by the flattering conduct of the whole population since his dismissal, he adds— " And I have, too, the right to proclaim my devoted ness to the Empire, and to deplore the blindness of those who, thinking that they serve it, raise up against it a crowd of enemies in the very places where the public mind was contented, and when all hearts blessed the august hand which has given to France order, glory, and peace." Possibly the dismissed Mayor is a sincere Bonapartist, if not, we must regret that he could condescend to such adulation. We mention it to show how determined the Toryism of France must be to have its way at:elections ; since the Mayor of thirty-two years standing, whom neutrality would not excuse, was either a sincere friend of the Empire, or what the Empire perhaps values quite as mach, one quite ready to black the Imperial shoes. It hardly needs be added that to compare really free voting, under a largely extended suffrage, with what is called free voting in France, is a simple ab surdity. The only wonder is that the ballot effects there what it does. That it should be unavailing against the influence which the innumerable Government servants in every petty town of France are compelled to use against popu lar candidates is not surprising. Every offi• cial's retention of his post, and his hope of keeping his friends and family in other posts, or of procuring them, depends on his unscrupulous zeal for the Government candidate. In the country the electors are grossly ignorant and superstitious, and the working classes view Louis NAPOLEON rather as an arch-socialist than anything else, and are favour. able to a ruler who undertakes to employ and feed them. And yet, with all these influences to work with, the ballot-box cannot be made to lie, or the people compelled to vote against their convictions. They do get in a minority of very able men, whose ability alone compels the attention, and often mo difies the conduct, of the Government_ We believe it to be a fact which no sophistry can evade, that notwithstanding every prefect and every mayor who does not endeavour to thrust the Government candidate down the throats of the people will be unceremoniously dismissed, yet to the ballot-box is due the whole of the talent or genius to be found in the Corps legislatif of France. Higher praise it could hardly earn. LATEST NEWS. COUNT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL, AUG. 3. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Helena, and at tended by Viscountess Jocelyn, drove out yesterday.

NEW YORK, JULY 25, EVENING. Several Committees, composed of the mayor and ' all the leading men of wealth and influence in the commercial and legal community of New York, have passed numerous strong resolutions declaring the present time to be the crisis of the rebellion— that no qualified Unionisms should longer be per mitted, and that it is far better that every rebel should perish than that one more loyal man should die. The Committee, therefore, earnestly call upon Prtsident Lincoln immediately to issue an Eman cipation proclamation. " This," they say, " will diminish the rebel army by calling many rebel officers and men to the defence of their homes. The Free States and the whole civilised world will applaud the Emancipation proclamation." It has been ascertained, with very little doubt that the Confederates, under Generals (Stonewall) Jackson and Ewell, are in the vicinity of Gordons ville with about 30,000 troops, intending to attack General Pope. Affairs are unchanged at Vicksburg. • General Halleck has gone to Fort Monroe, to consult with General M'Clellan. The New York World and Evening Post allege that General Lane has authority to raise reinforce ments in Kansas, without regard to colour. The Richmond Enquirer thinks that one more Confederate victory will end the war. The same paper says that the agreement for the exchange of prisoners is made upon the basis of a similar agreement between the United States and England in 1812. The Philadelphia Municipality has appropriated 500,000 dols. for volunteer bounty. The Danish Government has agreed to take as apprentices all negroes captured on board slave vessels by the Federal cruisers. The British schooner Star of the East has been seized by the Customhouse officials in New York, and the case referred to the Secretary of the Trea sury. She took out a clearance for Long Cay, in the Bahamas, and it was asserted her cargo con sisted of goods well adapted to the use of the Con federates ; hence her seizure. Mr; Kennedy Johnson is employed at New Or leans taking testimony for the Federal Government in the case of seizure by Gen. Butler of the money deposited at the Dutch Consulate. Mr. Johnson is said to have effected several modifications in Gen. Butler's policy. It is reported from Panama that Mosquera was everywhere triumphant.

Considerable excitement has prevailed in the British Consul's office at Saint Louis through a num ber of persons claiming the protection of the Bri tish flag to exempt them from military enrolment. Many persons who were attempting to get protec tion papers were severely handled by the mob. A detachment of the provost guard was ordered out, who, by timely exertion, suppressed the outbreak. It is reported from Chattanoga that the Confede rates have crossed the Tennessee River in force, under the command of three generals. The Confederate cavalry in East Tennessee are reported to be 5,000 strong. President Lincoln has issued a Proclamation directing all persons now in rebellion to cease participating further, under penalty of forfeiture and seizure under the Confications Act passed by Congress.

This result is the more important for iron-cased frigates, as they have no room fur increasing the number of their boilers, but can by this new; system add nearly one third to the force of their machines.

The following is "an extract from a report of the Commissioners appointed by the Municipal Council of Warsaw to examine the actual state of the prisons, dated July, 1862 "On arriving at the office of the prison, M. Mazurowski, the Superintendent of the Police Prisons, showed his books, from which it appears:— " That the total number of men and women arrested from the beginning of the present year to the 19th of July last was 14,833. " That between the 13th and 19th of July the maximum number of prisoners was 185 men and 46 women, and the minimum number 157 men and 53 women. In the former case 70 men and women arrived, 52 left, and 249 remained ; in the latter, 48 arrived, 44 left, and 214 remained. "The various rooms were then inspected in order. " Room No. 1 is 113 ells long, 9,1 wide, and 5 ells 10 in. high. It contained 12 persons, among whom was one who had last both his hands and one foot, and J. Kurlender, arrested because he had no pass port ; he is lame, and suffering under a nervous disease. " Room No. 2, same size as No. 1, contains 11 women, one of whom has been 40 weeks under arrest. The ceiling of this room is falling to pieces. "Room No. 18, the same size as the other two, except that it is but half their width, contains 30 men, arrested for not carrying lanterns at night. This room has no furniture and only one small barred window. There is so little space that the men in it can neither lie down nor move about with freedom. There is scarcely a breath of air, and the close packing of these 30 persons is an unprecc dented instance of disregard of human life. " No. 3 room, the same size as the others, except that it is nearly six times the width of the last, contained 35 women, one of whom, M. Keller, has been shut up for seven weeks in this unhealthy room, with a sick child four years old, because she had no passport. " The above rooms are in general dirty, too much crowded, and not provided with the neces sary conveniences. " No. 11 room, 11 ells 2 inches long, 231 ells wide, contains 56 persons. The crowded state of this room, the want of fresh air and of all conveniences, is striking, the more so as some of the prisoners have been deprived of their liberty for some time. " In general the prisoners, as regards food, lodg ing, and other wants of life, are in a worse position than in all the prisons of the kingdom. Though detained for a very long time, they are not furnished with new clothing or linen, and not being in a con dition to provide themselves therewith, are in a frightful state of destitution. Some are without a shirt, some in rags, some covered with vermin, and all evidently suffering in health. " Considering, first, that the number of people arrested during the past half-year amounts to nearly one-tenth of the whole population of the. town, and to one-fifth of such population, excluding children second, that among those arrested are persons de tained for the most trifling inattention to the decrees of the police, and mothers with little children, even children of four years old and children at the breast ; thirdly, that in these times the most respec table persons, even women, are often arrested—the Deputy President and the delegates of the Munici pal Council consider it most expedient to take im mediate steps to put a stop to this evil. " Warsaw, July 20." THE LOSS OP THE STEAMSHIP QUEEN VICTORIA. The following is a report of the investigation as to the loss of the steamship Queen Victoria " Police -court, Hull, Aug. 1, 1862. is My Lords,—Pursuant to the instructions of the Board of Trade, and with the assistance of Cap tains Harris and Scott, as nautical assessors, I have held an official investigation, so far as the evidence produced would permit me, into the circumstances that led to the loss of the screw steamship Queen Queen Victoria on the coast of Egypt on the morn ing of March 7, 1862. " The Queen Victoria was an iron screw steam ship, built at Newcastle in the year 1855, and was of the gross registered tonnage of 1431 tons. She was owned by Messrs. Bailey and Letham, of Hull, and left Liverpool on the 15th of February last, coal laden, bound to Alexandria, in Egypt. The Queen Victoria was commanded by Mr. W. Stubbs, who holds a certificate of competency dated June 19, 1851. She appears to have been properly equip ped, and manned with a crew of 36 persons. " On the 3d of March the Queen Victoria passed the Valetta lighthouse. A course was thence shaped for Alexandria ; and at 3.45 a.m. of the 7th she struck upon the coast of Egypt, about 73 miles to the westward of her port, and became a total wreck. Some portion only of her stores was saved, and no lives were lost. Owing to the length of time that has elapsed since the wreck, and the omission on the part of the owners to report the loss in accordance with the statute, the greater part of the crew have dispersed, and the chief mate, a principal witness, has sailed for Sydney. Three only of the former have been produced before me. It is impossible, from their scanty evidence, to form any safe conclusion as to the loss of this ship, while the absence of the offi cers and others of the crew prevented me from ob taining full information upon all the courses steered prior to the loss, and made it impossible for me to verify the authenticity of the leg-book. " It would seem, from an inspection of the latter document that observations were taken each day at noon, and that the reckoning agreed with these observations. " The master asserts that the course steered, as entered in the logbook, is correct, and was a per fectly safe course from noon of the 6th, when he had obtained an observation ; and he attributes the loss of his ship to a northerly current setting him down on the coast, and states that this current was subsequently experienced by the officers of her Ma jesty's ship Pelican when proceeding to the wreck. "In the absence, therefore, of both the mates, and others, who might have given evidence to account for the loss of the Queen Victoria, I feel that all hope of coming to a satisfactory conclusion on this point has been frustrated. I have therefore deemed it expedient, rather than keep the inquiry open for an indefinite time, to return Captain Stubbs his certificate, persuaded that from the evidence now before me my report to their Lordships could not be such as to enable the Board of Trade to deal with such certificate under the powers vested in them by the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854. " The evidence is forwarded herewith. " I have the honour to be, my Lords, " Your Lordships' obedient servant, " T. H. TRAVIS." LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—The directors of this company have resolved to recommend to the proprietors, at the general meeting on the 14th instant, that the dividend for the half-year ending June, 30, 1862, be at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum on the capital of the company. H. M. Victor Emmanuel, the King of Italy, has been graciously pleased to confer upon Mr. Charles Manby, honorary secretary of the Institution of Civil Engineers, the title of Knight of the Order of SS. Maurizzio et Lai zaro, in recognition of his scientific acquirements, and of the valuable services rendered by him to foreign scientific men, and to Government officers visiting England. For similar reasons, Mr. Manby was, many years since, honoured by the present Emperor of the French with the decoration of the Legion of Honour, and it is gratifying to find that services such as he is constantly rendering, and which are of inestimable value in cementing a good feel ing between England and foreign nations, are properly ap preciated abroad, however they may have been hitherto un noticed by the Government at home. It is not generally known that it was to Mr. Manby alone that was due the merit of the remarkable reception g iven to Marshal Soult, at the period of the coronation of her Majesty. He planned all the visits to the public establishments in London and in the country; carried out, through his private friends, the journey to Manchester, Liverpool, North Wales, and Staf fordshire, the cost of which was liberally defrayed by the then Board of Directors of the London and North Western Railway, and the then_ A . layor of Liv erpoo l . 'I h e re c e pti on of Marshal Soult in this country had a marked and m ost beneficial political effect, and it was duly recognised by th e the British G overnment. Th e serv i ces of by you is Phillippe, but as usual not any notice wa s ttakenhe xi Bing, f it Mr. Manby appear to be still commanded, not only by foreign scientific men, but by all his countrymen vc/ao need advice or guidance, and during the period of the Interns- 1 tional Exhibition they have been in constant requisition. THE DU2TDONALD PEERAGE CASE. HOUSE OF LORDS. Yesterday the House of Lords sat in Committee of Privileges, for the purpose of proceeding with the hearing of this case, which has been reported on previous occasions. The Solicitor-General having spoken at some length in opposition to the claim, proceeded to call evidence. He said that at their last meeting their lordships granted a commission to examine Mr. William Jackson, the husband of Lady Dundonald's aunt, inasmuch as being bedridden he could not attend. That gentleman had stated that he never heard of the Scotch marriage alleged by Lady Dan donald to have taken place at Annan, in Scotland, on the Bth of August,lBl2. It would be also proved to their lordships' satisfaction that Lord Cochrane was in London, at his solicitors', on the 10th of August in that year, the day but one after the al leged marriage at Annan. It would also be shown that Lady Dundonald made her son write his name " Cochrane" immediately after his father succeeded to the earldom, and that, by her ladyship's direc tion, he constantly practised it with his governess. Lord Chelmsford said that Lady Dundonald ought to have been asked about the point when she was under examination. It was a very important point, and her ladyship ought to have had an opportunity of explaining it. The Rev. Henry Maxwell Egan, curate of St. George's, Hanover•square, produced the register proving the baptism of the present claimant. Major William Cochrane was called, and said he was the brother of the tenth Earl of Dundonald, with whom he was very intimate until two years before his death. Down to about 1860 he was very intimate with him. He (the witness) was in the Peninsula during the early part of the year 1814. He recollected Lord Dundonald going out to Chili in that year. He wrote to witness on his return, and while he was stationed at Birming ham, informing him of his marriage. He had not preserved the letter. He understood that Lord Dun donald was publicly married, as his previous mar riage had been of a secret character, and because he was going to a Roman Catholic country, where it was necessary that his marriage should be more dis tinctly recognised. He had never heard anything positive about the previous marriage, and he did not know when or by whom he was told of it. There was nothing about the previous marriage in the letter. Lord Wensleydale—Are you sure there was no thing in the letter about the previous marriage ? Witness replied that he was not aware of any thing being said about it. His brother spoke of his marriage just as though he had never been mar ried before. He was pretty certain he did not men tion the clandestine marriage. He was not aware that his brother and the lady were living together before that time. Afterwards he knew they were living together, but he did not know upon wt. at terms, or whether they were man and wife. He did not know what the lady was called. He called her Kate, as her name was Catherine, and she was his sister-in-law. He wrote to his brother expressing his regret tnat he was married, but immediately after sending the letter he relented, and on the next day he wrote him another letter stating that he re gretted his hasty expression of opinion, and that he would be in town on the following day, when he should be happy to receive the lady as his sister-in law, a course which he had most conscientiously adopted. After some further evidence their lordships ad journed. THE MAILS, &C.—SOUTHAMPTON, Monday.— The Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steamship Ceylon, Captain R. W. Evans, sailed hence to-day with the Mediterranean, Calcutta, and China mails.

Leeming, for Madras ; Captain and Mrs. Gordon, Lieutenants W. Broadfoot, H. St. G. Barton, and IL Thompson, for Calcutta, &c. FRIGHTFUL DEATH OF A YOUTH THROUGH BEING IMPALED.—Yesterday morning information was for warded to Mr, Bedford, the coroner for Westminster, of the death of a youth named Thomas Robson, aged 15 years, which was caused under the following frightful circum stances. It would seem that late the previous night the deceased had come from the North of England to visit some friends in London, and amongst them was a gentleman named Perry, residing in Cartwright-street, Westminster. In the absence of Mr. Perry, the deceased amused himself with an Exhibition ball, which, slipping from his fingers, lodged upon a ledge over the parlour window. In his en deavour to regain it the poor boy fell out of the parlour win dow on to the railings enclosing the area, upon which he was literally impaled, two spikes penetrating the left armpit a considerable depth, indeed, it is supposed entered the heart and lungs, as well as fractured the upper ribs. He was con veyed to Westminster Hospital, where he was at once re ceived and attended by Mr. Arthur Beadles, the house sur geon, but notwithstanding every attention was paid, the unfortunate boy expired shortly afterwards. REPORT OF THE VOLUNTEER COMMISSION.' The repert of the Volunteer Commission, which is looked forward to with so much interest by every Volun teer, is in the printer's hands, and will be distributed to members in the course of the week. The Commissioners have gone thoroughly into the whole question, and they have, it is understood, agreed to the following recommenda tions :—They propose that the staff of drill sergeants shall be continued as at present, and paid out of the national funds. Next, that every effective be entitled to receive $ 1 per annum; that is to say, that the commanding officer is to be allowed that amount to be applied as he shall think best, but for the advantage of the corps. If it is applied for clothing, then the officer commanding is restricted in the choice of four colours—viz., blue for Artillery and Engi neers, and green, gray, or scarlet for the Rifles. The gray to be in accordance with the colour selected by th e War office, the Lords-Lieutenant of counties having a veto oil the colour, so that they make the Volunteers in counties as nearly similar as possible. 'I he Commissioners further re commend that a sum of 10s. per man be allowed to all those who have passed through certain stages in musket'," practice, and have obtained certificates of efficiency. The recommendation is one which we regard as of great importance, as upon the skill in the use of the rifle the real efficiency of the volunteer force mainly depends. This premium on excellence of shooting will have a most beneficial effect. Officers of regiments and companies will urge their men on to practice with the view of obtaining the extra 10s. per man. In many small corps, s h o uld the whole of the men be made effective—which is not only possible, but easy of accomplishment—the 30s. per mot will suffice to keep the corps in good working order. with• out this aid the number of men would gradually fall og• The Commissioners, in addition to these gratuities, p ro pose to give a further sum of 4s. per head for all Volunteers living beyond five miles from head-quarters, or the usual place of drill. This sum is given with the view of assist ing Volunteers engaged in agricultural pursuits, who coo' not afford the expense of riding to the place of rendezvous , and is proposed for the purpose of induc ng.countryme:a to don the Volunteer u niform and to carry the rifle. These are the principal recommendations of the Commissioners , and we believe they will meet with gen era l approva l . At present the sum voted in aid of the Volunteers does 3 1 ° V exceed £40,000 per annum. Should the proposed change s be carried into effect, the charge upon the country will be increased to about £170,000 pr £lBO,OOO.
