THE SUN. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 1860. " Poor little Bills" seem to be the order of the day. If the Bill for the Reform of Parliament be of rather puny dimensions, that for the Reform of the Corporation of London is its twin. It alters almost without mending. We say almost, because doubtless a better division of the wards is someth;ng, and some other points also are well enough in their way. But it leaves un touched the financial wrongs done by the City to the public, in which most of all reform was needed, and the general expensiveness of the management. It leaves untouched, also, the great absurdity of permitting the small section of the city of London, called the City, to isolate itself from the rest by corporate privileges, to be, in fact, a city within a city, to have power to make regulations affecting the comfort and the pockets of the vast majority who are not squeezed within its walls—and then to strut before Europe and the world as the Cor poration of the first of commercial cities. Whether Mr. AYRTON'S proposal be precisely the one by which the right idea of the thing should be practically carried out, we will not now pretend to say —this point we regard, however, as beyond all reasonable dispute, that when two millions and a half of persons dwell in houses which all join each other ; when one part of the space occupied by them is that in which their great business trans actions are carried on ; when all the vehicles nearly start from or pass through this central part ; when the chief passages over a large river are also to be found there ; when the docks and warehouses must of necessity be there; when the central spot is that which all the dwellers in the vast circumference are interested in having under the beat manage ment ; when these and many other facts com bi ne to make what is technically called the City th e common concern of all that is properly called Lon don, then it is a glaring absurdity that this little spot should be under a separate municipal management from the rest. The little part, indeed, called the City, is ludi crously insignificant in point of both area and population compared with the real London. It . is 1 34 700 acres anfl 113,000 inhabitants, and those lantannilliNlMl NOM IMNINMINIMMMI continually decreasing, compared with seventy eight thousand acres and 2,600,000 inhabitants, and the latter continually increasing ! Two things combine to preserve the present monopoly—one that the worthy old gentlemen who form the City Parliament hold up their hands if a word is said about extending the sacred boundaries, and exclaim Privilege ! privilege ! And all good Conservatives and Conservative Liberals look grave at that cry. Another that the suburban people see nothing in the Corporation to make them wish to participate in civic honours. From time to time the reports of debates and proceedings in the mimic Parlia ment of the City appear in the papers. Who reads them ? Hardly an individual in the rest of London, and few, indeed, in the City itself, unless their pecuniary concerns are likely to be touched. If it be justly a reproach to America, as Lord GREY Bap it i_ s, that the most educated, wealthy, and intern. gent classes hold aloof from public affairs, noto riously is this the case in London. Not one of th• first-rate men who transact their business in the City ever dream of accepting even its highest honours. They would rather pay any fine than do it. Worthy citizens, no doubt, shrewd men of business—those members of the old Corporation, and we should not wish them to be altogether super- seded ; we only want the City Corporation to be a body which men who combine taste and cultivation with business habits should not feel it beneath them to belong to. It may be replied, the present Cor poration would rather be without them.- Just so. And, jut because it would, we should say it wants them. London, however, is a problem which all Govern , ments seem to shrink from handling with a view to solve its difficulties. They increase, and will in crease with its extension. A small, but half para lysed attempt has been made by the creation of the Metropolitan Board of Works, but its ob jects and powers are so limited that nothing can be deduced in the shape of argument from its work ing. What it does, however, it will do with a view to the benefit of the whole metropolid, and why should not all questions be dis cussed with a view to their bearing on the inte rests of all parts of London ? If the representatives of Whitechapel met those of Belgravia, and the representatives of North London those of the Borough in common council, is it conceivable that a more general and kindly feeling of interest in the state and concerns of all would not be dif fused throughout the whole of London? The debates of such a council would have real interest, and men of the highest standing would not shrink from taking part in them and presiding over them. With these general views we can feel but little interest in this little bill—it can't do much harm—the adroit old gentlemen who manage city matters have taken care that it shall not do much good. If the bill should pass, and anything termed a reformed council be elected, we should perhaps, test them first in a small matter between us and the City—we should ask them whether they were reformed enough to reform out of our way the unsightly old obstruction to vehicles and foot passengers so justly named Temple-bar. A spirited meeting was held yesterday, at the Guildhall Coffee-house, of Reformers from all parts of the country, to confer on what should be the course of earnest Reformers. It was well attended, perhaps the best meeting which has yet been held under the auspices of the Parliamentary Reform Committee. Many of the really Liberal members of Parliament were present, also gentlemen who had come from almost every district for the purpose of attending the meeting. A unanimous and hearty spirit pervaded the conference, and we especially noticed one thing—that the firm tone held by Lord JOHN RUSSELL in his treatment of Mr. MASSEY, and the determination he expressed on the part of the Go'rernment, obtained for him a measure of approbation which we have not known him recei're from a public meeting for some time. There appeared to be more disposition than of late ,o believe him to be a sincere Reformer himse though hampered by less advanced colleagues. Even those who held that he ought to have given us an out-and-out Reform Bill, and on its rejection to have thrown himself on the country, yet thought he had done all he could with the present Cabinet and the present House, and did not deny that the best course now was to insist on having what he had offered ; and on the new basis, when acquired, to make further efforts. Mr. MAssEY came in for unmeasured censure. Indeed, from the tone of the remarks, we gathered that his treacherous notice of motion was the first thing which suggested calling the meeting, and that one of its principal objects was to warn re creant Whigs that their slippery ways will not be tolerated by the constituencies. Mr. MASSEY will yet in all probability hear from his constituents in a style which will convince him that asking for another member for Salford could not atone in their eyes for endeavouring to stop a measure of fran- chise extension. It appears that a memorial is preparing at Salford requesting the hon. member to vacate his seat for that borough, as his views on the great question of Reform are no longer in har mony with those of the majority of his constituents ! It was strongly suggested, also, that Mr. JAMES ought to receive a memorial from the Reformers of Marylebone. Discontented Whigs had better take care ; their supporters will not allow them with impunity to refuse as their representatives what, however short of their wishes, they have made up their minds, is too good to be lost. The meeting was decidedly in favour of an ap peal to the country should the present bill be refused ; and several speakers commented severely on the disparaging tone in which members of both houses, and some of the press, too, had spoken of the working man. Two persons, evidently of that class, and who would obtain a vote under the now bill, spoke exceedingly well and shrewdly, and interested the meeting quite as much as any of the more educated speakers present. One could but think that perhaps half the members in the house could not have spoken with more moderation, sense, and point, and most of us would often prefer a little of such natural mother wit to the prosy nothingness we are compelled to listen to. The final resolve of the meeting was, that if dis contented Whigs and Tories should, by any artifice, combine to get rid of the bill for the season, Mr• BRIGHT should be requested to bring forward his measure. This would not be a bad move. If a dis solution then took place, or if Reform became, as it then would, the subject of warm discussion in the country, then, with the two bills before it, the ob structors would receive, we imagine, from the country a lesson they now little dream of. Upon the motion of the hon. member for the county Galway, the House of Commons agreed last evening to the appointment of a select com mittee to inquire how far and in what way the British Museum might be reorganised. Upon that select committee a large amount of responsibility will be m b a ed o e n v g olved. Its members will have to con other important matters whether the various collections which have been gradually ac cumulating in Bloomsbury shall at length be scat tered. Whether the space, on the contrary, imme- diately contiguous shall be increased. Whether duplicate books and specimens shall be eliminated from the aggregate of the different departments, with a view to the formation of a separate Museum elsewhere—say in the east of the metropolis. Whether the institution shall after extension and reorganisation be maintained as it is, namely, one and entire—or whether, on the contrary, LATEST NEW S. 635 f. to 627 f. 50c.; Nort] The following are the las The following telegrams were received at Mr. Reuter's office : PARIS, APRIL 25. The Paris papers publish the following telegram, dated Chambery, yesterday evening, containing further information, according to which the num ber of votes recorded is as follows : For the annexation about .... 45,340 Against ... , . ........ 210 Abstained from voting .... 750 its various sections shall be divided for removal. Whether, in point of fact, the British Museum shall lose its right to that title by being subjected to an arbitrary disintegration. _ . There is unquestionably, as was intimated last evening in the House of Commons, a decided ten dency to the filtration of our various public collec tions down to that hideous, temporary, mongrel edifice, or agglomeration of edifices down at South Kensington. It is--what shall we call it ? ALBERT'S Folly ! It has an immense prestige in high quarters—one that threatened at the outset that each of our public museums and galleries (no matter where situated) must have its " slope" thither as inexorably as Russia has hers to the East according to the phrase of M. DE LAMARTINE. Inso much thatwe looked with unutterable qualms of terror towards it as to an insatiable maw ever crying aloud for more ! like ,the brazen head of Friar BACON'S contrivance in the popular legend. It promised ix fact, at one time to swallow up in a single gulp the whole treasures of our National Gallery—leaving the unsightly edifice, so called, entirely to the tena cious squatters hitherto in one half of it, i.e. to the members -of the Royal Academy. Happily that design, at any rate, was frustrated—though not without an effort. The finest site in Europe was still retained as the site (nominally at least) of the National Gallery. We say with deliberate inten tion " nominally"—because in spite of the ulterior decision of the House of Commons, the decision that Trafalgar-square should yet retain tae National Gallery and that the National Gallery should.not be bodily removed to South Kensington, thither to South Kensington have been removed the TURNER collection, the VERNON collection, the SHEEP SHANKS collection, together with other works of native artists, hitherto appertaining to the larger and more miscellaneous national collection ! There —in the South Kensington Museum—are en shrined old familiar favourites, specimens of Sir JOSHUA and of HoGARTIT—the " Banished Noble man," for example, and the series of " Marriage a la Mode. Precisely, in fact, those very portions of the national treasures of art, which justified in a peculiar manner the distinctive title of the aggregate collection, the title of the National Gallery National in the strictest sense of the word now no longer, if all the works of our native artists without excel). tion are to be forcibly abstracted from the edifice to the north of Trafalgar-square, and carried off to the PRINCE CONSORT'S Folly yonder down at South Kensington ! What is being accomplished, or has already been accomplished, in regard to the National Gallery by the promoters of that grotesque jumble of iron and wooden outhouses down in the neighbourhood of Brompton, there is now some danger may be at tempted to the same end by the same courtly agents in respect to the British Museum, with a view at once to its detriment and disintegration. At this rate—unless we look about us betimes and guard against these preposterous proceedings — the British Museum will no longer be the Britiih Museum, any more than the National Gallery will be any longer the National Gallery ! The latter will be restricted to a collection of specimens of the various Foreign Schools of Painting. The former will become possibly no Museum at %xll—but solely and exclusively a Great Library. Before any such comprehensive changes be decided upon, it is cer tainly advisable that the whole question should be submitted to the scrutiny of a select committee of inquiry. For a variety of reasons, therefore, we are rejoiced that Mr. GREGORY'S motion was agreed to yesterday by the House of Commons, and that the future of the British Museum shall be confided, in the first instance, to the care of that select com mittee. We are sanguine that through its inter position much evil may be guarded against and that many advantages may be also thereby realised. There is, at any rate, an obvious necessity that something should at length be done, first of all, with a view to the extension of the British Museum, and, secondly, with a view to its better arrangement. At Tarentaise and Chablais the same unanimity prevails. The numbers are not yet known. CHUMBERY, APRIL 24. The result of the voting in all parts of Savoy exceeds all expectations. The majority for the annexation is immense. M. Laity will return to Paris at the end of the week. The Patrie announces that Baron Gros will leave Paris to-morrow for China. GENEVA, APRIL 24. The reply of Austria, dated the 18th instant, to the note of the Federal Council of the sth instant, refers the Council to the Austrian Government's note of the Bth inst., and adds that, should the pre- lithinary points of the Conference be determined upon, Austria on her side will fully recognise the right of Switzerland to take part in its delibera tions as a claiming party, and as being principally interested in the question. VIENNA, APRIL 25. The great Powers having nearly agreed upon the assembling of a Conference, there only remains to fix its programme. The Court of the Tuileries has framed one, which is now submitted for the ac ceptance of the other interested parties. France thinks the object of the Conference should be limited to a simple examination of Art. 92 of the final. Act of Vienna, which contains the stipu lations relative to the neutralised districts of Chablais and Faucigny. To render the task of the Conference still easier, France adds that for her part she is quite ready to assume the same obliga tions which Art. 92 imposed on Piedmont in favour of the neutrality of Switzerland. Should the con tracting Powers of the final Act of Vienna be of opinion that those obligations require modification, as, in consequence of the incorporation of Savoy with the French empire, the strategic conditions of Switzerland undergo a change, France will accept every new combination which would not in any way involve either an alteration of the right ac quired by the treaty of the 24th March, or any dis memberment whatever of Savoy. VIENNA, APRIL 24 Austria and Russia having proposed Paris as the place for the assembling of the European Confer ance for the regulation of the question relative to the neutralised districts of Chablais and Faucigny, and Prussia having agreed to this proposal, it appears certain that the Conference will assemble at Paris. As regards the Powers who will be re presented, France raises no objection to the admis sion of Switzerland with the eight Powers who signed the final Act of Vienna, on condition that Piedmont should be admitted upon an equal footing. The Conference would, therefore, be com posed of the ten following Powers :—Austria, Spain, France, Great Britain, Portugal, Prussia, Russia, Sardinia, Sweden, and Switzerland, who will be represented by their Ambassadors and ordi nary Ministers Plenipotentiary accredited to the Court of the Tuileries. TURIN, APRIL 24. Count Cavour returned yesterday. The King of Sardinia, following the friendly advice of France, has for the moment abandoned the idea of taking the title of King of Italy. The Court of the Tuileries represented that such a change of title would only complicate the existing difficulties, without , 'without giving any prac itnintaelrnaadtvinaontaalge ROME, APRIL 23, . The Marquis de M6rode has issued an order of the day, in which he announces his appointment as Minister of War, and says :-- " I have received the mission of attending to the interests and necessities of the army at the moment when Christian h is aware of the perils which patrimony of th e Ch urc h. I w ill fulfil my mission with a lively solicitude for the soldiers surround t e ltal Y whose past fidelity is a sure guarantee of their future conduct." Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent arrived at Buckingham Palace yesterday, from Frogmoro House, on a visit to her Majesty. The Earl of Radnor is expected at his house in Grosvenor-street next week, from Berkshire. This venera ble peer, although in his 81st year, is in the enjoyment of sound health, and still takes an active part in the local business of his county. The Earl and Countess of Erne have arrived at their mansion in Eaton-square for the season. ROME (via MARSEILLES), APRIL 21. General Lamoriciere bas gone to Ancona, where he will reside for some time. NAPLES (via MARSEILLES), APRIL 21. Viscount and Viscountess Combermere will come to town early next week for the season, from Combermere Abbey. Lord and Lady Vivian have arrived in town from Cornwall. His lordship has taken a house in Chesham place for the season. DOVER, Tuesday.—His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales landed here this afternoon from her Ma jesty's steamer Vivid, Captain Allen. His royal highness, who was accompanied by General Bruce and Captain Grey, was received on landing by General Craufurd, Col. Cup page, and Major Barnard, and a guard of honour of the 32d Regiment, under the command of Capt. Harman His Royal Highness dined at Birmingham's Royal Lord Warden Hotel, and left by express train in the evening for Windsor Castle. His Excellency Lord Cowley arrived at the Royal Ship Hotel last night, and this morning sailed in the John Penn for Boulogne. The Admirely Pier is now so far ad vanced as to afford a most convenient mode of embarking or landing at any period of the tide, while as a marine walk it is unequalled, extending more than 1,000 feet into deep water, and offering most delightful marine views from the Foreland to Dungeness. _ _ The reported insurrection at Trapani, and in the towns of Littoral districts, has been denied. The pursuit of the insurgent bands still continues in the nterior. MADRID, APRIL 23. Nothing . has been decided in reference to Count Montemolin. The Correspontlencia A utografit says that Marshal O'Donnell having ordered the embarkation of a portion of the army in Africa proves that peace is firmly established. CANTON, MARCH 14. The rebel disturbances are increasing throughout China. The state of affairs in Japan has become worse. The foreign community are living in great apprehension, two Dutch captains having been murdered in the street of Jokuhama without giving any offence to the Japanese. We have authority for stating that the announce ment made by some of our contemporaries, that the Prince of Wales will sail for Canada in the course of the next week, is incorrect. his Royal Highness will complete his term at Oxford, and, as at present arranged, the Prince will not make his Transatlantic trip before the first week in July. SHANGHAI, MARCH 8. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, it is now authoritatively stated, will return to Frewen Hall, Ox ford, to-morrow (Thursday) ; and, according to present ar rangements, will remain at the University until after the commemoration, when his Royal Highness will leave, and Frewen Hall will then become the residence of the Prince Consort during the meeting of the British Association for the Encouragement of Science, of which his Royal High ness is the retiring president. It is rumoured that the four vessels which pro ceeded to Pechelee River carried an ultimatum to the Chinese Government. CALCUTTA, MARCH 23. Disturbances are reported to have broken out in Cabal. st.

Meßti e C.E., late of the Lu cknow Garrison, with the eldest daugh ter - of Dr. Culverwell, of Great Marlborough-street. After a dejeuner, given by the bride's father, at his residence, to a numerous party, the happy couple left for Folkestone en route for Paris. Several of the bridegroom's brother officers were present at the ceremony, amongst whom we observed Colonel Knatchbull, Major Anderson, and Mr. Kavanagh, the gentleman who, it will be remembered, gallantly passed through the enemy's camp in disguise, and led Sir Colin Campbell and his Mops safely into the city. Mr. Mcßae himself was severely wounded cluing 1 the defence, but is now happily recovered. HOMEWARDICALCUTTA AND CHINA MAILS. MALTA, APRIL 21.

At present 18,000 soldiers are con centrated in Palermo. General Cataldi left the city with 6,000 men on Saturday, but the insur gents, of course, retired. It is not their plan to risk any, general engagement. Cataldi returned without results. The artillery have destroyed the villas under Monte Pellegrino, especially near the barracks Borgognone. Near this spot the cavalry were much cut up by the insurgents. We have no steamer in from Palermo to-day, but one from Messina gives the following intelli gence :—The troops seem to have acted with the greatest caprice, andto have themselves done every thing to promote a revolution. On the night of the 10th and morning of the 12th they began firing without any apparent necessity with both musketry and cannon. Many people were killed in their houses. The soldiers fired right and left as if for amusement, or as if under a panic. The British and French Consuls in the first place remonstrated against a bombardment of the town, but were reas sured. However, as a cannonade took place they went to the commandant with a strong protest, couched in very severe terms. They were informed that if they chose they might enter the arsenal, but that the commandant had no alternative than to fire if the necessity occurred. A Swiss gentle man had ' been arrested as he was leaving a monastery, where he lad been visiting one of the fathers, and who had been imprisoned three days without any cause. An officer had been shot by one of his own soldiers, t.nd another soldier had shot himself in his sleep whilst acting as sentinel. Such was the disorder which existed. With all this the town seemed to be somewhat reassured, and people were returning. General Viglia, it was said in the morning, had been shot with a ramrod, and now again I hear that it was a shot fired accidentally ; but it is ob served that several rounds had been already fired. The ball entered the right shoulder. He suffers much, but I am not aware that the wound is dan gerous. General Viglia served as major in the 10th, in Lombardy, in 1848, was decorated by Victor Emmanuel, and is much esteemed. The Ladies Cornwallis have arrived in Charles• street for the season. _ _ .

NERBUDDA COAL AND IRON COMPANY.—It ap pears that the directors of this company have received in timation from the Secretary of State for India that instruc tions have been given to the Government of India to grant them their lease. . BETTING HOUSES IN MANCIIESTER.—Yesterday 51 men, the keepers of betting-houses and persons found in them, who had been captured on the previous evening by the police, were brought before the magistrates of Man chester, under the Act of Parliament lately passed for sup pressing such places. John Turton and 15 others wore *barged with being found in the house of Aaron Woreley, licensed victualler, Thomas-street. The police proved that Turton was employed entering bets and taking money, but he said the landlord had nothing to do with them—he was engaged in the transactions for his own benefit. Mr. Maude fined him £lOO, but he gave notice of appeal, and entered into the required securities. The other cases were adjourned till Friday. HER 'MAJESTY'S TIIEATRE.—The Queen's box last evening was occupied by Sir Charles Phipps and party. Amongst the many distinguished personages who visited this fashionable Opera-house we observed :—His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Duchess of Welling.. ton, the Duke of Hamilton, the Duke of Rutland, the Duke of Cleveland, Earl Dudley, Earl of Malniesbury, Marquis of Clanricarde, Marchioness of Ailesbury, Baron and Baroness Brunnow, Lord Mountcharles, Lord Bath, Lord De Tabley, Lord Sydney, Loid Sefton, Lady Beaumont, Lady Monson, Lady Jane Repton and party, Lady Bradford, Lady Emily Peel, Lady Clillord, Lady Mary Craven, Lord and Lady Trimlestown, Sir John Lowther, Sir George Bowles, Sir Ralph Howard, Sir Alexander Frazer, Sir George Womb well, the Countess of Waldegrave ' Count Batthyany, the Hon.

LIVERPOOL TESTIMONIALS TO SAYERS AND HEENAN.—A rumour is current in Liverpool that Tern Sayers will in a few days pay a visit there to receive the testimonial now being raised in acknowledgment of his cou rage and endurance in the late contest with Heenan. The amount subscribed has reached nearly £2OO, and there is little doubt it will be auamented should the champion ap pear in propria persona to receive the gift. We understand the subject of a presentation to Heenan has also been taken up by some of his admirers in Liverpool, and that the Ame rican captains at this port have intimated their inten tion of making him a handsome and substantial acknow ledgment. It is said that the amount already collected reaches about £l5O. Some of the admirers of the pugilistic art have gone so far as to get up a requisition inviting Sayers and Heenan to come down to Liverpool together and receive their respective testimonials personally.—Liverpool Mercury. S ABBA TH EVENING READINGS. —Since the dis* continuance of the Sabbath evening sermons for the sea son , the directors of the Glasgow Abstainers' Union have been trying a series of Sabbath evening readings in the Lesser City Hall. Readings for the working classes were com menced in Glasgow two years ago by Mr. Wm. Logan, and since then several country districts have adopted the same plan, which tends to elevate those upon whom it is brought to bear, imparting both moral and spiritual instruction. After devotional exercises on Sabbath evening, the second reading of the series was given by Mr. Wm. Logan, who read selections of deep interest from the Rev Dr. Guthrie's new work, "Pleas for Ragged Schools." The work em braces three pleas—and eloquent and noble pleas they are. —for the furtherance of that cause projected by the noble cobbler, John Pounds. The work should be scattered over the country in thousands. It places the Doctor in the front rank of social reformers,—Glasgow Daily Mail, April 24.- 211 E NAVY. The screw steamship Hero, 91, Captain George H. Seymour, was taken into the lock at Keyham steamyard on Monday, and was appointed to be placed in No. 1 dock yesterday to be cleaned and overhauled. The screw steamship Conqueror, 101, Captain Sotheby, C. 8., was appointed to leave Hamoaze yesterday to make a trial of her machinery outside the Breakwater, and return to the Sound. The screw steamer Rodney, 91, which was towed from Chatham on Monday by the African and Adder steamers, brought up at Folly Point, where she now lies at anchor. The paddlewheel steam sloop Virago, 6, Com mander M. B. Dunn, having coaled in Hamoaze, got up steam on Monday, and proceeded into Plymouth Sound. The screw steam-vessel Arrow, 4, was transported on Monday from Keyham to her moorings off Devenport dockyard. The paddlewheel steam-frigate Terrible, 21, Cap. tain Glasse, C. 8., received coal on Monday in Ply mouth Sound. The crews of the Surprise and the Atalanta at Plymouth were appointed to be paid off yesterday. The Torch, 5, screw steamer, having completed fitting at Chatham, was yesterday put out of No. 1 dock. Several important alterations have been ordered by the Lords of the Admiralty to be effected at No. 1 dock at Chatham dockyard, in order to provide accommodation for the largest line•of-battlo ships required to be docked at that establishment. Among the other improvements ordered to be effected, a new entrance is to be built to the dock from the river, and some important alterations carried out in he interior, the whole of which will occupy several months. A serious accident, and one which might have boen of a very fatal character, occurred last Satur day evening on board the screw steamship Royal Albert, 121, Capt. H. I. Lacon, now in the basin at Keyham steamyard, Plymouth. It having become necessary to remove her four old boilers, great exer tions were used to attain that object, so as to get the ship ready again for sea speedily. The Royal Albert entered the lock on Tuesday, the 17th instant, and, after discharging coal, was placed alongside the crane in the basin. On Saturday morning the men commenced getting out the boilers; three, weighing each 28 tons, were removed before 5 o'clock in the after noon, and the remaining one, equally ponderous, was hoisted out of the hold the required height, but just as preparations were being made to raise the shears for the purpose of conveying the boiler over the side, the fall of the chain broke, and the cumbrous machine fell on the deck in the waist, smashing to pieces the plank, one of the beams, and several of the " carlings," but fortunately without dropping further. Having been canted, as is the custom when clear of the hatchway, it jammed it self against the fragments of the carlings and beams in such a manner as to be completely suspended over the hatchway through which it had been just raised. At the moment 20 or more shipwrights were employed directly below " spotting " over the bed on which the boiler had rested, and had it gone down the probability is that the greater number, if not the whole of them, besides the enginemen and a portion of the crew, would have been crushed to death, the height being more than 50ft. Some double balks of timber were promptly placed under the boiler, to prevent the possibility of its falling further, and, as the smiths were fortunately in the yard, two of them, with Littleton, the man in charge of the shop, went down at once, and repaired the chain. The small purchase and the repaired pur chase were then applied together, and the boiler was removed from its dangerous position. By this time the decks were fully shored up under the balks, and the boiler was then lowered on them, and left there until Monday, when, a new eight-inch hemp hawser having been substituted for the treacherous chain, the fourth boiler was ultimately taken out of the ship, Some five or six beams, besides car lings, will have to be replaced, and it will be nece sary to repair 20 feet of the deck. The defective chain is about five-eighths of an inch thick ; the broken link appears imperfect in the welding, it is now in the possession of Mr. Trickett, chief engineer of the yard. The link broke on the drum of the steam-engine machinery, which is in a shed 50 feet from the ship, communi cation being obtained through a trunk way under the surface of the yard. The engine was promptly stopped or thrown out of gear by one of the men in charge. The new boilers are manu factured by Mr. Yale, foreman of the boiler depart ment at Keyham. It was expected that they would be put in yesterday, and that the engines would be ready to get up steam in about eight days. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Commander F. N. K. Wasey, and Commander J. B. Ballard, to be Inspecting Commanders of the Coastguard ; Lieut. Charles R. Scott, to the Wellington ; Richard Munday, to be Secretary to Rear-Admiral Sir William Codring ton ; George P. Martin, to be Secretary to Vice- Admiral William F. Martin; Frederick Cleeve, C 8., to be Secretary to Rear-Admiral Talbot ; John Moysey, Second-class Assistant Engineer to the Asia, for charge of the Rainbow ; Richard Oliver, Third-class Assistant-Engineer, to the Cum berland, for service in the Cochin; John Watson, Leopold N. Green, and Peter Murray, Acting Third-class Assistant-Engineers, to the Arrogant, as supernumeraries for disposal. THE ARMY. His Royal Highness the General Commanding in-Chief will hold a levee at one o'clock on Monday next, the 30th inst. The Duke of Cambridge has issued a general order, directing that any soldier who, on the com pletion of his limited term of service, is desirous of re-enlisting, is to be granted three months' leave 01 absence, for the purpose of visiting his friends be. fore he re-engages himself. INSUBORDINATION ON BOARD TILE EDGAR. A court martial, composed of the same members who sat on the previous day, assembled on board her Majesty's ship Victory yesterday, in Portsmouth harbour, for the trial of William Mathews, Thomas Doidge, Alfred Gunston, William Parker, Francis Trickey, Daniel Mooney, Alfred Fry, Charles Cannon, William Harvey, and Charles Lucas, privates, Royal Marines ; and Henry Dawson, gunner, Royal Marine Artillery, belonging to her Majesty's ship Edgar, at Spithead, on two charges of not coming on deck when the starboard watch was piped to fall in, and disobedience of orders, &c. A number of formal documents having been read over, the court was sworn, and proceeded to examine witnesses, the first called being the prosecutor, Capt. Katon. Capt. J. E. Katon, commanding her Majesty's ship Edgar, being sworn, deposed to the same facts which he had already done at the trial of Clarke on the previous day—the granting of leave to 50 of the ship's seamen and marines on the sth inst. ; the extending of the leave to 12 per cent, of seamen, but not marines, as there were 12 per cent. of the latter on shore, and several of them at that time breaking their leave ; the insubordination subsequently dis played by the marines on the afternoon of the 10th inst., on which day, at 4 p.m., the starboard watch was ordered to fall in, and almost all the marines of the watch disobeyed the order. Soon afterwards the men were piped to supper, and after supper " quarters " were piped, when every one obeyed in an orderly manner, and were mustered at their guns. After " quarters" I again ordered the star board watch to fall in. The seamen obeyed. The marines did not obey the order. I then ordered Captain Louis, commanding the marines, to have them mustered singly and brought on deck. On his reporting that they w ere p resent, the y Were marched aft, and each ma n separately asked hi s reason for not coming on deck in answer to the pipe to do so. Those who gave sufficient reason fo not being up were dismissed. The others (the f Admiritl prisoners) were afterwards, by order 0 Erskine, sent as prisoners on board the Algiers and Queen. By the Court—The prisoners gave only trivial reasons for not coming on deck in answer to the pipe when the watch was called. Knew their excuses were frivolous, but they were perfectly respectful in their manner when replying to me. They did not come up from below until called by a non-commis sioned officer and a commissioned officer also. All the marines of the starboard watch ultimately came up together, but it was nearly a quarter of an hour after the pipe went for them to do so. All the non- commissioned officers fell in when the watch was piped at o'clock, and exerted themselves to get .he men on deck. Commander Waddilove, being sworn and exa mined, corroborated Capt, Katon on the chief points of his evidence. In answer to questions by the Court, the witness stated that the reasonable ex cuses accepted from those of the marines who were dismissed to their duties were, in one instance, the man stated he had been late in leaving his quarters, which had prevented his answering the pipe, and as there was a doubt on the matter, he was allowed he benefit of it. In other cases some of the men stated they went to their quarters on the gangway or forecastle, but finding no one else there, wont away again. These men were allowed to return to their duty, as were any others whose answers gave any reason to believe they had not wilfully absented themselves when piped on deck. James Jago, boatswain's mate, proved piping the starboard watch to fall in on the afternoon of the oth inst., but could not say it was hoard in tho marines' messes, as there was great confusion at the time, the " retreat" having been beat from quarters. Thomas Ayling, boatswain's mate, proved piping the same call as the last witness on the upper and main decks. The drummer had just beat the " retreat" from quarters, and the pipe might not have beon heard all over the lower deck, there being much noise from some coming up the hatchway, and others going down. William Atkinson, boatswain's mate, piped the same call as the last witness at the fore hatchway of the lower deck. Brigadier Innes, Royal Marine Artillery, deposed to having :mustered the starboard watch of ma rines before quarters on the afternoon of the 10th inst. None of the watch then answered. Mustered them again after quarters. On reaching the port gangway, the usual place for the watch to muster, found three men there, and took their names by order of Lieut. Story. Afterwards went on the lower deck - to call the other men. Called the re mainder of the watch by name, but there was no answer, nor did he see any of the men on the lower deck. Went on the upper deck, and found a part of the watch had fallen in. The remainder were coming from the fore part of the ship. By the Court—The prisoners gave no reason for not answering the pipe to come on deck, nor did witness ask them any. They were about four or five minutes longer than usual in coming up. None of the prisoners answered to their muster. Heard no grumbling among the men on the subject of leave during the supper hour. Heard the pipe for the starboard watch to muster after the retreat was beat as witness came on deck by the after ladder. The Court at this stage adjourned for a time, and, on reopening, proceeded with the examination of witnesses. Captain Louis, Royal Marine Light Infantry, was the next witness examined. His evidence in chief wa.4 merely. corroborative of that already given. In answer to questions by Rear-Admiral Erskine, the witness said—The men of my detach ment requested to speak with me on the morning of the 9th inst. I saw them under the aft deck. They wished to know when they were likely to get their leave, as their money was being either spent or stolen from them. I told them I had not the slightest doubt but that their long leave would be very shortly granted to them, but it was impossible to say more, yet I believed I could pledge myself for it. They expressed theniselves perfectly satis fied, and, I think, made a remark that " If we could only get leave we would work like slaves." At this time there were 20 marines on shore, whose leave had expired at eight o'clock that morning. The longest time any of these men overstayed their leave was about 50 hours. 18 marines would have been 12 per cent. of the Edgar's detachment. By Captain Vansittart—The conduct of the pri soners prior to the 10th inst. has been " good," and " very good." Six of them wear good conduct badges. When the per-centage of men on leave has been regulated by order, it has been the custom on board the Edgar to allow no man leave ashore until his comrade had returned from his leave. This closed the case for the prosecution, and the Court, after closing for a short time, called upon the prisoners for their defence. Short statements were made by Mathews, Doidge, Gunston, Parker, Frickey, and Mooney, and witnesses were called for the defence. The Court then again closed to con sider their finding, which, on the Court being re opened, was read by the Deputy judge-Advocate, and was to the effect that having deliberately and maturely considered the evidence for the' prosecu tion, and also what had been adduced in the pri soners' defence, they found that a spirit of insubor dination had existed on board her Majesty's ship Edgar on the 10th inst. among a portion of the ship's company, and further found the whole of the prisoners, with the exception of Alfred Gunston, guilty on both charges, and Alfred Gunston guilty on the second charge ; they therefore sentenced the prisoners found guilty on both charges to 12 months' imprisonment in Winchester gaol, and Alfred Gunston to nine months' imprisonment ill the same gaol. The Court will resume its sittings this morning , four courts-martial yet remaining to be held on portions of the Edgar crew. THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY ACCIDENT. STATE OF. THE SUFFERERS, &C. The fearful accident which took place on the line of the Great Northern Railway, at Hatfield, 011 Monday morning, has resulted in much more seri ous consequences than were at first anticipated, se, in addition to Mr. Pym and the unfortunate plate' layer, who were killed on the spot, it appears that several of the passengers are suffering from COl" cussion of the brain,. caused by the injuries they sustained, and it is not improbable that in some cases fatal results may ensue. The injuries sue" tamed by the deceased Mr. Pym were of such $1 frightful character as to be almost beyond descrir sion, and it is believed that they were caused by the splinters of the smashed carriage, in which hewel riding. He was literally cut in twain upward, en although alive when picked up from the debris ° the shattered carriages, death in two or three minutes afterwards took place. Mr. Osbaldiston, surgeon, of Hatfield, was ,0 4 e first medical gentleman on the spot ; and NV half-an-hour from the time of the accident, the te l graph having done its work, Mr. Kirkwood, 01 Euston-road, the surgeon of the Great Norther: Railway Company, and other medical gentletee,n from the vicinity of the London terminus at King a cross, arrived at Hatfield by special train, 013 ,. f minutely examined and attended to the injuries ° f the sufferers. The Rev. W. T. Tweddle, who is a Weslele o minister, residing at Wandsworth , being , next -1,1 those killed, the most seriously injured, was plec e ot under the especial c are of Mr. Kirkwood, who! , the rev. gentleman's earnest entreaty, after dressl his wounds, had him b rou g h t to town , and eost veyed him in his own carriage to his residene e .ps Wandsworth. The Rev. Mr. Tweddle's inj u r e were a frightful cut behind the left ear, and ver i° ,,rd, wo unds and contusions about the head, face , % a body, with concussion of the brain. Mr. Kirkw;, visited the rev. gentleman a t W a ndsworth ts v ,,, i r . yesterday, and reports hi m t o b e go i n g on f 9 ; c°- r e ably, but by no mea ns ou t o f d ange r. There a ro some other cases of a similar nature under the S a to of Mr. Osbaldiston, and several who proceede d their own homes, but were not much injured. tit , With respect to the actual cause of the accidete, it is believed, from examination, that the P IE/ o f layers, in re p a i r i ng th e li n e, must have left eri e u p the keys of the sockets, into which the rails t' vel i above the level of the line, and not properly home, as it appears the engine took a perfect in which could only have been caused by comie,g_vei contact with some fixed substance above the of the rails themselves, which the tremendous enLer at once displaced.
