L.

This! person, ho at once believes, to be his son-in-law, Mr. Madison, and thereupon he determines to act as a detective, and "nose out" the whole affair. He rummages his son's apartments about for proofs of his misconduct, and, finding a coat, he searches the pocket and there discovers a letter signed "Laura." This letter has been given to Madison by his wife who has just received it from a dear friend of hers, who is about to pay them a wedding visit. Warricow at once assumes it to be a love letter of a lady friend of Madison's, and acts on that supposition, the result being tat he involves the Warricow, whole of the parties in a jealous quarrel h , to mend which, - to remove the mistake, which he begins to perceive he had made, makes " hot love" to the wife of his son's visitor. He is discovered on his knees at the lady's feet by the husband, and things, instead of improving, becomes worse re d u ces the letter he had and worse.

Thereport is very long and woul fill s everal columns of our paper. General Pillow t o ok cdom mand at Fort Donnelson on the Bth of February, and he says that he immediately set to work to improve its de fences. This was done under the supervision of Major Gil mer, chief engineer of General A. S. Johnston's Staff. Be fore the works were completed Pillow states General Floyd, his senior in rank, arrived. He then says : " I had placed Brigadier General Buckner in command of the right v,-iu g and Brigadier-General Johnston in command of the left. By extraordinary efforts we had barely got the works in a defensible c ondition when the enemy made an advance in force arou nd and against the entire line of outer works." He then gives the details of the fighting on the 12th and 13th (the gunboat fight included), all of which our readers are familiar with. The General continues thus On the 14th inst. the enemy was busy throwing his forces of e very arm around us, extending his line of invest ment entirely around our position and completely envelop ing us. On the evening, of this day wo ascertained that the enemy had received additional reinforcements by steamboat. We were now surrounded by an immense force, said by priscners to amount to 52 regiments, and every road and possible avenue of departure was cut off, with the certainty that our sources of supply by the river would soon be cut off by the enemy's batteries placed on the river above us. At a council of the general officers, called by Gen. Floyd, it was unanimously determined to give the enemy battle next day at daylight, so as to cut open a route of exit for our troops to the interior of the country, and thus save our army. We had knowledge that the principal portion of the enemy's forces were massed in encampment in front of our extreme left, commanding the two roads leading into the interior, one of which we must take in leaving our position. We knew that he had massed in encampment another large force on the Union Ferry road, opposite the centre of our left wing, and another in front of the left of our right wing; his fresh arrival of troops being encamped on the bank of the river, two and a half miles below us, from which latter encampment a stream of fresh troops was continually pour ing around us on his line of investment, and thus strength At suing his general encampment on the extreme right. each of his encampments, and on each road, he had in posi tion a battery of field artillery, and 24-pounder iron guns on siege carriages. Between these encampments on the roads was a thick undergroveth of brush and black jacks, making it impossible to advance or manceuvre any large body of troops. The plan o f attack agreed upon, and directed by Gen. Floyd to be executed, was that with the main body of the forces of our left wing I should attack the right wing of the enemy, occupying and resting upon the heights reach ing to the bank of the river, accompanied by Col. Forrest's brigade of cavalry ; that Brigadier-General Buckner, with the forces under his command, and defending the right of our line, should strike the enemy's encampment and forces on the Winn's Ferry-road ; *that the forces under Colonel Heiman should hold his position, and that each command s hould leave in the trench es troops to hold them. In this attack was suc smeyssryoutotebde, seenth at i f h in is y retreat would be order e e es fuoLf battleand th i w et enemy along his line of investment to sards Winn's Ferry-road, and thence toward his reserve at the gunboats below. In other words, my success would roll the enemy's force in retreat over upon General Buckner, when, by his attack in front and rear, we could cut up the enemy and put him co mpletely to rout. Accordingly, dispositions were made to attack the enemy. At 5 o'clock a.m., of the 15th, I aoesant sa fielb in position d obrnly mo ved out of my positio n to engage him. In less than half an hour our forces were engaged. He was prepared to meet me in advance of h is encampment, and he did meet me before I had assu med line of battle, and while I was mo ving against him with out any formatieonngfaogretmheenetngiawgea; decided van fought him ad for ee u meat.

T hehea the enemy's particularly, as I discovered by riding over the field, after the battle, with General Floyd. The enemy having been forced to yield this portion of the field retired slowly towards the 'Winn's Ferry-road, Buckner's point of attack. He did not retreat, but fell back fighting us, contesting every inch of ground. The fight was hotly and stubbornly contested on both sides, and it consumed the day till 12 o'clock to drive him back as far as the centre, where Gen. Buckner's command was to flank him. While my command was advancing and slowly driving him, I was anxiously expecting to hear General Buckner's command open fire in his rear, which not taking place I feared some misapprehension of orders, and came from the field of battle within the works to learn what was the matter. I there found the command of Gen. Buckner massed behind the ridge within the works, taking shelter from the enemy's artillery on the Winn-road, it having been forced to retire before the battery, as I learnt from him. My forces were still slowly advancing, driv ing ßuck the ene my towards the battery. directed General ner immediately to move his command round to the rear of the battery, turning its left, keeping in the hollow, and attack and carry it. Before this move ment was executed, my force, forming the attacking party on the right, with F orrest's regiment (cavalry), gallantly charged the battery, supported by a body of infantry, driv ing it and forcing the battery to retire, taking six pieces of artillery four brass and two 24 •pounder iron guns. In pursuing the enemy falling back from this position Gen. Buckner's forces became united with mine, and engaged the enemy in hot contest of nearly an hour with large forts of fresh troops that had now met us. This position of the enemy being carried by our jsint forces, I called off further pursuit after seven and a half hours of continuous and bloody conflict. After the troops were called off orders were immediately given to the different commands to form and retire to their original position in the intrench ments. The operations of the day had forced the entire command of the enemy around to our right wing, and in front of General Buckner's posi tion in the intrenchments, and when s command idly reac hed his position he found the enemy ra hi a pdvancing to take possession of this portion of the work. He had a stubborn conflict, lasting one hour and a half, to regain it, and the enemy actually got possession of the extreme right of his position, and held it so firmly that he could not dis lodge him. The position thus gained by the enemy was a most commanding one, being immediately in the rear of our river battery and fieldwork for its protection. From it he could readily turn the intrenched work occupied by General Buckner, and attack him in reverse or advance under cover of an intervening ridge directly upon our battery and fieldwork. While he held this position it was manifest we could not hold the main work or battery. Such was the condition of the armies at nightfall after nine hours' conflict on the 15th inst., in which our loss was severe, and leaving not less than 5,000 of the enemy dead and wounded on the field. We left upon the field nearly all his wounded because we could not remove them. We left his dead unburied because we could not bury them. Such conflict and courage has, perhaps, never before oc - curred upon this continent. We took about 300 prisoners and a large number of arms. We had fought this battle to open the way for our army and relieve us from an invest ment which would necessarily reduce us and the position by famine. We had occupied the whole day to accomplish our object, and before we could prepare to leave, after taking in the wounded and the dead, the enemy had thrown around us again in the night an immense force of fresh troops, and reoccupied his original position in the line of investment, thus again cutting off our retreat. We had only about 12,C00 troops, all told. A large proportion of these we had lost in the three battles. The command had been in the trenches night and day for five days, exposed to the snow, sleet, mud, and ice water, 'without shelter and without adequate covering, and without sleep. In this condition the General officer held a consultation to determine what he should do. General Buckner gave it as his decided opinion that he could not hold his 'position ono half-hour against an assault of the enemy, and said the enemy would attack him next morning at daylight. The proposition was then made by several officers to again fight through the enemy's line and cut our way out. General Buckner sa id his command was so worn out and cut to pieces and demoralised that he could not make another fight ; that it would cost the command three-quarters of its numbers to cut its way through, and it was wrong to sacri fice three quarters of a command to save one quarter ; that no officer had a right to cause such a sacrifice, General Floyd and Major Gilmer I understood to concur in this opinion. I then expressed the opinion that we could hold out another day, and in that time we could get steam boats and set the cof mand over the river, and probably save a large portion of it. To this General Buckner rep that the enemy would certainly attack him at daylight, and that he could not hold his position half an hour. The a lternative of the propositions was a surre nder of their position and command. General Floyd said that he would neither surrender the command, nor would he surrender himself a prisoner. I had taken the same position. General Buckner said he was satisfied nothing else could be done, and that, th erefore, ho would surrender the place in com mand. General Floyd said that he would turn over the command to him if he could be allowed to withdraw his command. To this General Buckner assented. Thereupon General Floyd turned the command over to me, 1 passing it instantly to General Buckner, saying twould neither sur render the comm and nor myself a prisoner. I directed Colonel Forrest to cut his way out. Under these circum stances General Buckner accepted the command, and sent a flag of truce to the enemy for an armistice of six hours to negotiate for terms of capitulation. Before this flag and communication was delivered I retired from the garrison." SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT• HOUSE OF LORDS—TUTS EVENING.

THE MILITARY TRAIN CORPS. Colonel STUART asked the Secretary of State for War whether the Military Train was now a purchase or non purchase corps ; if the former, to state when and for what reasons the change was made ; if the latter, to explain on what principle officers were allowed to exchange from the line into the.

Mr. FREELAND asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any communications had been received from our military or naval officers in command on the China station with reference to the character and ope rations of the Taepings, or rebels; and whether the Go vernment would lay upon the table of the house copies of, or extracts from, any such communications ?

TREATY WITH BELGIUM. Mr. W. FORSTER asked the Under Secretery of State Ler Foreign Affairs, whether he could give the house any information relative to the commercial treaty now negotiat ing botween this country and Belgium ? Mr. LAYAR D said that the demands put forward by the Belgian Government led to the negotiations being sus pended for the present. THE REVISED CODE—MR. WALPOLE'S RESO LUTIONS. Mr. WALPOLE moved " That this house will imme diately resolve itself into a committee to consider the best mode of distributing the Parliamentary grants for educa tion now administered by the Privy Council." After some preliminary observations, the right hon. gentleman said that he did not propose to endeavour to have the Revised Code rejected, but he thought that it must undergo very extensive alteration before it could be palatable to the Parliament or the country. He said that the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Lowe) completely underestimated the feeling of the country when he con sidered there was any apathy on the part of the public in reference to the question, for the innovation in the existing system which it was proposed to introduce in this code excited the greatest interest amongst all classes. He argued that all education, to be truly valuable, mu was st the be based =re ligious training—(hear, hear)—and that general conviction of the community. They must remem ber that the system which it was now proposed to supersede had been in operation since 1853, and had given considerable satisfaction. They must combine eco nomy with efficiency to render any system perfect, and still the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Lowe) said he would secure one or the other, and not both. In fact, the Government could not state what would be the positive results which would flow from the proposition they presented to the house. (Hear, hear, fro m the Opposition benches.) He alluded to the report of the commission on this subject, for the constitution of whichhe expressed the greatest respect ; but he said that report sp oke in high terms of the fact that the voluntary principle had been enlisted in behalf of the existing system : yet, he contended, the effect of the alteration proposed would be, in its present form, to discourage the e fforts of the voluntary principle in reference to the Go vernment scheme of education. He referred also to the opinion expressed by the commission in regard to the merits of pupil teachers, the discipline, and the religious element in the existing system. The commissioners were all agreed thateducation had not sufficiently reached the lower classes, and that the removal of the children at too early an age, before they could acquire a sufficieiat amount of elementary education, was most disadvantageous. They were also agreed that not more than one-fourth of the clildren received mole than an imperfect knowledge of reading, writing, and arithmetic in the Government schools. But how was it proposed to remedy the evil ? In the first place the masters were to be increased, - but their standard'of qualification was to be lowered. He said that they ought to test in the most careful manner the results of a system that hitherto worked comparatively well. By that system he contended that according t , the showing of the commis sioners themselves in their report not only were secular results obtained, but also moral results by making the Go. vernment grants pass through the enthusiasm of religious bodies. They said in that report the effect of these schools was greater in a religious than even in an intellectual point of view. He denied that the mode proposed by Govern ment of teasing the results of a system merely by the an• ewers given in three elementary matters was fallacious, for frequently a number ot children might have left these schools before the day of examination arrived, or they might be subjected to depressing influences, which would prevent their answering satisfactorily. He cited the authority of Sir James Shuttleworth in support of his arguments on the point, and argued that it was quite impossible to arrive at a correct conclusion as to the state of elementary educa tion founded on an examination on a specific day of a limited number of pupils. He had received an inundation of letters from the clergy and laity, and persons of all shades of po litical opinion on the subject of his resolutions, and only one of these was in favour of the Revised Code. He read extracts fiom some of these letters. He said his right hon. friend Mr. Lowe rested his case on two passages in the report of the commission. (These were the passages in which the commissioners stated that in several cases chitildren d i d , and not o btain a knowledge of reading, writing, d arhmetic, that only one-fourth of the boys in the schools at tained to more than an imperfect education.) The teachers differed from the inspectors, and a more extensive inquiry, and he contended that Govern ment should have come forward with a system based on such inquiry, and he would then have discharged his duty nobly. (Hear, hear.) (LEFT SPEA.KINGI [The following are the resolutions which the hon. gen tleman will propose in committee this evening.] " 1. That, where it is proposed to give Government aid to elementary schools, it is inexpedient that the whole amount of such aid should depend on the individual exa mination of each child in reading, writing, and arithmetic. " 2. That the system of grouping by ago for the pur pose of examination would be unequal in its operation, and an adequate test of the work done in the school, and specially disadvantageous for those children whose early education has been neglected. " 3, That the provisions of the Revised Code, in the points referred to in the foregoinc, resolutions, would, if unamended, increase the difficulty a extending the benefits of the Government grants to poor and neglected districts. " 4. That the refusal of any portion of the Parliamentary grants, on account of a n y children who have once passel in the highest class of examination, is likely to have an in jurious effect, as t endin g to aggravate the acknowledged 1 evil of the withdrawal of children from elementary schools at an early age. "5. T oat it is inexpedient that the capitation grants on be acco unt of children under seven years of ice, should made to depend on the individual examination of those children. "6. That the provisions of the Revised Code with regard to evening schools are unsatisfactory, inasmuch as the master in many cases would be unable, after the labour un dergone in a day, adequately to attend to the management 1 and teaching of the evening- scholars. "7. That the regulations contained in the Revised Code with regard to pupil teachers ate unjust and impolitic. " S. That it would be unjust entirely to withold the other benefits of the Parliamentary grant from such managers of schools as decline to undertake to provide and pay the payable on of stipend and gratutie s, no several] contin y uance of their account current p u pil teachers, during the apprenticeship, "9. That it would be impolitic to run the risk of a return to the monitorial system by discouraging the em ployment of pupil teachers, and that such =plop: -rY to her Vero f9I, - . , - Colonel Coll Macleod, Madras Infantry.

Last afternoon a numerously attended public meeting of Mark was held at the Corn Exchange Coffee-house, -lane, for the purpose, as stated in the notice convening the meeting of " Consider ing the best means to be adopted for obtaining an alteration of the present unjust system of collecting the malt duty." Mr. J. 3. GRIPPER, the Mayor of Hertford, having been voted to the chair , stated th at for some years the maltsters had been labouring under consider able disadvantages arising out of the mode in which the malt duty was collected, and which they co nceived bore tinjustly upon them. He consi dered that the injustice of the present system must be apparent to all who considered it, for under it about eight weeks after the malting season, whic h as he had stated occupied about six or seven months, all the duty upon the malt made had to be paid, while the article could not go into consump till the end of 12 a monthbs.ndf So that the Governmentthe had their money in or goods on which it was re st hard chargshi ed wen on the maltstert into consump . Mr. GRAY then m oved a resolution to the effect, tion, which was a g that in the opinion of the meetin g the present mode _ P up of collecting the malt duty was unjust and inju rious to the trade, and that a -deput a ti o n be ap pointed to wait on the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the purpose of asking him for some extension of the credit of the malt duty.. The resolution was unanimously adopted. 23 12i 58 8 } 8 74 117 i 744 4 i i [OB/ I 91 i ioli f 43) 9 1281 P 91 8 4 8 8447 10t' 84 1 88} would be better promot ed -- b y y premium pecuniary penalties.
