No sooner has a stronghold been captured, and its garrison dispersed, than they assemble in another direction, and are prepared to plunder and devastate any past of the country where there is not an adequate force to resist them. They will not, however, face European troops, unless the odds in their favour are absolutely overwhelming. Although quadruple the English force, they shrink away like Leaten curs. They will not risk the chances of a stricken fight ; their chief efforts aro directed to harass and annoy our troops, and allow the climate to do the work which they feel themselves incompetent to accom plish. They have not, however, the same salutary tearor regarding our allies. They will still fight men of their own race, more especially if there is any reason to suppose that they are at all disaffected or that they may be induced to become traitors towards their legitimate chiefs. Our faithful ally SCINDIA has thus been " Deserted at Lis utmost need, By those his former bounty fad," and compelled to become a fugitive in conse quence of the treachery of a portion of his troops. It is, however, but simple justice to say that his body-guard behaved with un blemished fidelity and unflinching courage, notwithstanding the numerical majority of the rebels, and the shameful desertion of their col leagues. They fought bravely to the last ; and although nearly half the number remained on the bloody field, they saved their leader—who, although closely pursued by the rebels for more than 15 miles, succeeded in crossing the Chumbnl, and, after a brief rest at Dholpore, arrived in safety at Agra. • The assailants were a party of fugitives from 04pee, swelled by auxiliaries from other districts, and amounting in the whole to some 8,000 or 10,000 men. Against these the Maharajah un hesitatingly marched out, relying on his body guard, 600 strong, and some 6,000 infantry, with 8 guns. The battle would have been fairly contested, but unfortunately treason had been at work. A large proportion of the troops had yielded to temptation, to the artful suggestions of their betrayers. It is said that a certain well known rebel named TANTIA TOPAY, was the chief agent in. producing this untoward result, And that he had been actively engaged in tamper ing with the fidelity of_the troops fur same days previously. After the narrow escapa of SCINDIA, his friends and relatives fled in every direction, and Gwalior fell as unresisting. prey to the enemy—by whom it Was speedily occupied, and of course plundered. Reo a nephew of the notori ous miscreant NANA SAIIIB—now designated as " The Peishwa"---was elevated, fur the time being, to the Muanud, and is, or was, strutting his brief hour as the nominal Maharajah. NANA SAHIB himself had latterly deemed " discretion the better part of valour," and carefully avoided risking his precious life in any encounter. It is, however, more than hinted that the taller have already been turned, and the brief triump'l abundantly avenged. • Before the intelligence of these proceedings had been received, it had bean the intention of Sir HUGH Rose to give some rest during the in tensely hot season to his gallant and herd worked troops. Ho had announced that the Central Indian .ield force might tike the rest so urgently required. He clearly pointed out the labours they had un dergone, the difficulties they had overcome, and the exploits they had achieved during the course 'of their brilliant march over 1,000 miles-- • from the western shores of India to the wata . s of the Jumna i The men rejoiced at their comparative holiday, Lut the moment they heard of the proceeding at Gwalior, they were 1411ZiPt.0 THE .LONDON, ` MONDAY EVENING, JULY 19, 1858: to be once more led against the enemy, " deem ing nothing accomplished, while anything re mained to be done." It was said that the force under Sir Iluag ROSE, together with the division under Brigadier HICKS, from Jhansi, and the column under Colonel SMITH, from Chunbraco, were already before Gwalior, and there was a by no means improbable rumour, that the town had bzen recaptured, with terrible loss to the enemy. Sir EDWARD LUGARD had gained another vic tory on the 27th of May, having defeated the insurgents at Jugdespore, and captured all the guns taken at Arrah. A great act of justice had been execated. The Chief of Nurgoond, who had brutally murdered Mr. MANWY, the political agent, was tried on the 11th, and hanged at Belgaum on the 12th June. The atrocity required exemplary punishment, and the prompt and unhesitating manner in which it was inflicted will strike terror into many chiefs who would act in a similar manner if they dared. Rohilcund is tolerably quiet, and the people of Oude are gradually making submission, while the disarming process goes quietly and regularly for ward. We must expect these chequered accounts for some time, and be contented so long as no formidable reverse has been sustained. We earnestly invite public attention to a letter headed " An Officer's Complaint," which we have extracted from the columns of a respected con temporary, the Northern Ensign , . It exposes a case of gross hards'aip. The writer may be re garded as a representative man—one that fairly shows the class of those who, by steady and meri torious conduct, have worked their way upward from the very beginning, and who have at length been seriously injured by what was factitiously termed a reward for valuable services. The writer states his case simply and clearly. He gives a plain statement of facts. But what facts ? After being engaged as sergeant at the Alma and Inkerrnan, and during the whole siege of Sebastopol, never absent from duty during that arduous campaign, performing an officer's duties before he received its was at length rewarded with an Ensigncy. What "competitive examination" could be equal to this stringent test of competency—one spread over years and sealed with the blood of England's enemies, if not his own ? But he had soon cause to regret the delusive kindness. Scarcely was he a commissioned officer than he was put on half-pay, and consigned to wearisome inaction for the reusainder of his life. Could he have foreseen the future he would never have relinquished the halberd. He might naturally have conceived that the services of a tried and Experienced man, "free, able, willing to serve, and not yet tweety eight years of age," would have been anxiously _ sought after, whenever the time of " playing at soldiers" should again be brought to a conclusion. But, alas ! he has no wealth to purchase an appointment ; he cannot "coin his blood_into shekels;" nor has he an aris tocratic relative or patron to transmit such a valuable hint as "Take care of Dewß.," along the magical wires. He has nothing but proved merit and faithful and unflinching devotion and bravery. These, alas !do not suffice, and notwithstanding the numerous commissions that have been. bestowed "without purchase" within the last two years, no crumb has fallen from the overladen table at the Horse Guards to the share of a true-hearted "„Sutherland Highlander." We believe that it only requires to bring such a case to the notice of General PEEL to insure prompt inquiry and speedy redress. We should not have much hope from Lord PANMUIIE. But the present Secretary at War has done more in weeks than his predecessor did in almost as many years, and he has displayed an anxiety to do his duty fairly and honestly. With bin; we believe, the Sutherland Highlander would have as good a chance as even the mighty " Dow.D." himself. ( Everybody who glanced through the melan choly records of the Committee of Inquiry into the wrongs endured by Mr. BARRER must have been startled by those cruelly accumulated upon his ill starred but innocent head in Norfolk Island, chiefly, as it appeared, through the gratuitous brutality of the Commandant. It would be well, for the sake of humanity, that Major CHILD should clear his name from the odium, the ignominy, the abhorrence attached to it by this part of the evidence, by his own revolt ing and odious revelations. We are loth to credit the accuracy of the statements to which he him self appears to have acknowledged. We would fain believe that his memory is Jewett in the matter by some singular hallucination. Can it be really possible, according to Major CHrees's own statements, that upon the arrival in Norfolk Island of the two wretched convicts— Mr. BARBER even then presumed by many to have been wrongfully convicted, and FLBTOUER clearly and glaringly proved to have been guilty of Forgery—the villain was employed at once and permanently as a medical dispenser, with superior rations and a private apartment, while the presumed victim of his crime, poor Mr. BAR RER, whose innocence was happily in the fullness of time clearly demonstrated, was infamously put to the loathsome office of a wardsman, relieved once by stonebreaking on the roadside and later by working in the open fields chained, heavily laden with irons, among the dregs of that hell upon-earth—murderers, and the friends of mur derers. As to the filthy duties of ththeewmarin onedsman Major CHILD has himself described [Mr. BARBER, this sickening sentence — " He — gentleman of education, this and shattered map, attered in health by his cruel persecutions]—he was put to the offensive employment of cleansing and scour ing out the urinals used by 200 prisoners." He had no extra rations, like the For g er FLETCHER. Ile h a d no pr i va te apartment of his own, but had to sleep amongst the miserable gang 1 of these wre t c h ed creatures. No marvel hi s weak ened a s v u ew ei a l y nd u in n g d e e . r th H e e filthy occupation and thehealth nave foul hos pital. lie is sent by th e me di cal superintendent to break stones on th e roa d , instead ogfoec sleatonstihnea and scouring those detest a bl e ur i nals. While cleansing and is one day breaking the stone s by the high way , r id es up to him Major CHILD, -the Commandant. " What do you hero ?" ho asks. " Sir," say s Mr. BARBER, " I am ordered to break atones by the medical superintendent." " I will not have ehat," is the curt rejoinder. The Commandant rides up to the statiou and issues his instructions that the poor gentleman shall forthwith return to his abominable office as wardsman. Mr. BARBER is engaged shortly afterwards at his loathsome task over the urinals --- with his health again sadly drto t i . g —when Major CHILD ap proached him with the query, " What is your objection to cleaning your ward ?" Mr. BAItBER'S reply is merely this—" I have made no objection : it i 3 destroying my health, but I have made no objection." "How does it injure your health I" asks Major CHILD. Mr. BARBER explains that the work is most disgusting, that the office is fraught with humiliation. Major CHILD again asks (as though he bad be deaf), "IL•ir 4 ..0cl it injure your hea‘lth ?" Mr. BADDICIL then becomes 1 explicit, enters lilt° particulars. " Independently j of exhalations.," he says, " I have bad wet feet every morning from going out in a heavy dew," —he had to empty the urine tubs for 200 pri soners before the work of cleansing and scouring. "Then put your shoes on," says the Commandant. But, observes Mr. BArtnEtt, in answer to the objec tion, " That is of no use ; they will soon get filled. with, "Then take them off," is the rejoirlder. Facetious Major CHILD ! Gay, lighthearted humorist ! Mr. Major account of the interview adds that the Major strode away after having said this, laughing at his own pleasantry. M ijor CHILD'S account differs from it only so far that he says to the Committee of the House of Commons, " I do not think I laughed at his misery." Ultimately comes the unfortunate gentleman's work in the fields among the chained gang of homicides. Among his asso ciates poor Mr. IiARDER recognises the friends of two murderers, against whom he himself had formerly given evidence. He is in momentary fear for his life. He implores to be removed elsewhere. Major CRIED rejects the request pitilessly. The moral of the whole story is this, that Major CHILD is eventually dismissed from his post for general misconduct—Mr. BARBER being at length set free as a man most cruelly wronged, because from first to last perfectly innocent. Aud what is the testi mony given by On chaplain of Norfolk island, as io his behaviour throughout the whole of those inhuman persecutions ? Read it—" I have never known a prisoner of the Crown who has been subjected to greater wretchedness. I re joice to be able to add that I have never seen an instance of more dignified suffering accompanied by invariably consistent canduct." Honour and sympathy to him—that true•hearted Christian gentleman. And as to Major CHILD, cannot he, for the sake of humanity, disprove some of his own lamentable statements ? LEE STEVIiNS' REGULATING AIR D001:S. We publish an official Copy of the report made to the lion. the Corporation of the Trinity-house by the chief engineer of the Trinity steamship Argus, r,lative to the ascertained results from the use of the patent regulating air doors flited t her steamboiler furnaces by Mr. John Lee Stevens. The report testifies to the success of the patent : " in compli ance w ith th e order o f th e C om mittee for Lights I beg to state, in my previous report on Mr. Lee Stevens' patent regulating air doors fitted to the boilers of the Argue, I stated that the invention prevented the emissi ,n of flame from the tops of the funnels, and thereby nuaterial'y diminished Lie heat therein, and that the engine room was better ventilated. I have now to report that, after re peated trials and weighing of differen . L sorts of coals for many hours at each time, a saving of fully 10 per cent. is the result for Welsh coal, and for Hartley coal a saving of fully 20 per cent., at the same time keeping good steam and the smoke cut off very quick. I would also state that, from the first fitting of the patent doors eight months ago to the present time no injury whatever has been done by the action of the fires to the apparatus." The report is dated July, 1858 ; and essentially agrees with reports relative to this invention made during the past and present years, by the engi neering departments of the General Screw, Euro pean and Amer ican, Newcastle and London, Beigian Continental Screw, and other steam shipping com panies. A.s regards its utility for land furnaces, by Sir Anthony Rothschild, the Victoria (London) Docks Company, Messrs. Keens and Watch and Day and Martin, J. T. Norris, Elq., M.P., and various other private firms, the most conclusive evidence has been given in its favour. Our own opinion of Mr. Lee Stevens' ability in furnace work has long since been recorded, and remains unchanged, so that it is a matter of surprise to us that a gentleman so practically successful should not be encouraged by Government patronage. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.-0a Saturday a marriage was solemnised between Miss Leclant,re, daughter of the 1 tte Sir Edmund Lechmere, Bart., of the Rhydd Court, Worcestershire, and M. d'Arrae. The ceremony took place in Warwick-street Chapel. After the ratification of the civil contract, high mass was celebrated by Car dinal Wiseman, assisted by Monsignore Searle and the lion. and Rev.-Dr. Talbot Much gossip (says the Court .Toecrna/) has been currant in diplomatic circles cmcernicg the reception awarded by the Emperor of Austria to the Princess do Gorziga, wife of Pimlico Gonziga, who ha - ; . to long been a wandcrer and disowned on the fans of the ea-th, deprived of his inheritance and repulse] by his fellows, to whom, so it is said, the Emperor generously sent a contribution of 10,000 francs to assist in the prosecution of his claims to the title and estates of Gonnga. All believe the c'airos to be just, but means are wanting to prove them. The Emperor of Austria has pronounced himself entirely in favour of the Prince, The Princess Gonzaga is an English lady." THE REPRESENTATION OP COLCHESTER.—Mr. Philip Oxendon Papillon has been accepted by the heads of the Conservative party at Colchester as a suitable candidate to be proposed in the event of a general eltec.ion with Mr. T. J. Miller, one of the present sitting members. Mr. Papillon has attended and addressed, in conjunction with Mr. Miller, a meeting of the Conservative Asso ciation established in the borough, and a resolution pledging the members of the association to use their utmost exertions to secure the return of both gentleman, when the country is appealed to, was carried unani mously. The other seat for the borough is at present occupied by Mr. J. Garden Reew, a moderate liberal. THE CHARGE OF MURDER AGAINST TWO CAPTAINS._ On Friday, George Menham, captain of the Reliance of Sunderland, and Edwin F,x, captain of the Schiedam, of London, were re-examined before the Sunderland ma gistrates on the charge of murdering William Barron, a seaman. The principal evidence given at the first examination has already appeared in our paper. It will be remembered that the two vessels were lying at Ham burg, and that the deceased, who belonged to the Re liance, came on board the other ye sel in a state of in toxication, and began larking with the men ; whereupon a scuffle took place between him and Fox, and that F o x and Menham, who was al s o on beard theßeliance,_then deliberately heaved th e man overboard. William Ram say, a seaman on board the Reliance, who deposed to these facts on Wedneeday, was now cross-examined, and some other evidence was taken, when the bench unanimously committed the prisoners for trial on the charge of" Wi ful murder."—Sunderland Times.

SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 18, The Teviot arrived here this day with the heavy portion of the Australian mail. The Teviot left Alexandria on the 2d, and Malta on the Gth instant. She brought home about 70 passengers from New Zealand, Sydney, Melbourne, Ceylon, Aden, and Malta. Her mail consisted of about 120 sacks and boxes of letters and papers. Amongst her cargo was Australian gold to the value of 140,2861., plate and jewellery worth 4651. a quantity of opium, flax, elephants' tusk., and a' mummy. The Teviot was due on the Gth, but she has been delayed, partly owing to the late arrival of the Australian mail steamer European at Suez, and partly to her own machinery giving way on the outward voyage. The European, it appears, left Australia after time, but she made this up by the time she reached Point de Galle. She was then, however, - obliged to go GOO miles out of her course to avoid the monsoon, and this made her late at Suez. The Teviot has come all the way home from Alexandria with one engine. She experienced fine weather and easterly winds through the Straits, then thick weather for a day or two, and after that isle weather and seuth•weeterly winds. She spoke the Norwegian barque Emanuel on the Bth inst., aud-the paddlewheel steamer Rainbow, of Liver pool, steering to the south-west, on the 14th. The Australasian will bring the next Australian mail and news of which will be due in England on the 29.ih.inst. The Teviot will in August bring home Tamonget her passengers the Mayor of Melbourne, with an address from the colonists of Victoria, con gratulating- her Majesty on the marriage of her eldest daughter, the Princess Royal. This mission of the mayor to England is looked upon in Victoria as an interesting event. The chief magistrate of the richest colony in the worli ie about to tre.vel a distance of 13,000 miles—that is, more than over kalf the globe—to pay homage, in the name of the colony, to the Queen of England, on such an occa sion connected with her domestic happiness. THE THEATRES. DRURY-LANE. On Saturday Mr. E. T. Smith, the le3sea of this theatre, took his benefit at the close of the Italian operatic season. The opera given wai Don Giovanni, with the following cast :—Donna Anna, Madame Viar-: dot Garcia; Elvira, Madame Sedlaz , 3k ; Zirlina, Madame Persiani ; Don Giovanni, Signor Eadiali ; Dun Ottavia, Signor Naudin ; Leporello, Signor Rovere ; Cowmen date, Signor Manfredi ; Masseto, Signor liinni. At the close of the opera, and after the principal performers had been called before the curtain, Mr. Smith, obeyinr, .Lc :Lc:ll.l,ii!, wade his appe;;railee, and said : "Ladies and Gentlemen,—Permit me thank you for I your kind reception and for the bumper of this evening. Having been latterly so much engaged iu foreign affairs, I .thought at first of addressing you in Italian ; lint, my friends, I . am satisied, above—(a laugh)—and other friends beside me would, I think, toe fer to have it in plain English. In engaging the artists for this theatre for Italian opera I sincerely trust that I have carried out the idea which I had promised, and kept in a satisfactory manner the promise which I had made. My object was during the ten weeks in which the Italian operas have been performed to engage such artists as would not only give eatisfact:oa to all, bat amusement to the working classes of this metropolis, who, I sincerely trust, appreciate the exereion of one who does all in his power to carry out the principles of free trade in every department, and who has been en abled to provide for them for sixpence, one shillieg, and eighteenpunce such artists as they could not obtain at any of the "singing-houses" full of smoke, or else where. (Laughter.) Ladies and gentlemen, I have pro duced thirteen operas in ten weeks, and although I have not been able to produce a chorus such as I could have wished, because although some have kindly come for ward to assist me, ethers have been prevented doing so by their being engaged at the other two houses, I sin• cerely trust, however, that you will appreciate the ser vices of those who have dune all in their power to con.. tribute to your amusement night and day, and to assist in producing operas in such a manner as to give the greatest satiJaction in their power. To every artist in the establishment I am sincerely indebted ; to Mr. Stirling, the stage manager, to carpenters, scene painters, and every one, in short, who has been engaged on the premises. My friend Booby' in the Haymarket—(a laugh)—kindly alluded to the solvency of three of the London managers--himself, the manager of the Olympic, and of the late Adtiplii. He also expressed himself as astonished to think that we should produce three operas iu this met ' , pens. New, Ido nut know why you should not enjoy Italian operas at a low figure, if it will answer my pm poss to give them to you ; so that you can. came into the pit at eighteenperice and see the same artists for whom you would pity a guinea over the way. (A. laugh.) . I feel deeply indebted to the press of 1,1 is country for the position iu which they have placed me by their remarks. But there are certainly one or two gentlemen connected with the press at whose remarks lam surprised, Filet, they have said of Naudin that he was tr.e4 up, that he was very well in his way, but his voice was ropy'—(a laugh)—the same of Bacliali and Famagalli, who was only twenty-four years of age. (Cheers.) There are some of those connected with the press who do not receive the same favours from your hurni.de servant that others can give thematother theatrv. Tile humble individual who now addresses you has not subscription lists of my Lerd Tura Noddy and others. You have subscribed to the list of a man who has worked hard for what ho now produces, and the sub scription list has been, and I hope will long be, your approbation and appreciation of my humble ser vices. (Loud cheers.) I will only inform you that I shall always make it my endeavour to induce the working classes to come to this theatre, and I have reduczci the prices so that they can come here and enjoy music, which will not only instruct them, but at the same time inspire their souls with the noblest feeling.% (Cheers and laughter.) On S: p+. 13, having had sufficient of Italian, you will have your own company of English ringers here—the Pyne and Harrison company. I have engaged them all to appear here with the pantomimes, so that you will have a double treat, a pantomime and a new English Opera. After that you may have Italian opera again, for I have been promised by numerous gen.lemeu from the clubs that if they can come here and scat them selves in the boxes to witness such operas as have bsen now produced for one guinea, instead of le or 12 guineas, which they would have to pay elsewhere, they will come here. (Cheers.) I elan be most happy to re ceive any suggestion which may be made to me, and it will al ways be my study to endeavour to the utmost of my power to amuse you whenever you come to Old Drury. (Loud and continued cheering followed the delivery of this address, and calls fer Signor Noudin, who appeared and bowed his acknowledments.) LYCEUM. "The Lady of the Carnelias" was produced at this theatre, which on Saturday was opened for a short summer season under the maragetuent of Mr. George Webster. In this adaptation the entire interest and pa thos of M. Dumas' play is summarily got rid of, the whole of the denzi-monde life, so accurate'y i lustratcd, is ignored, and the great p osit upon which the misery of the unfortunate Marguerite Gaultbier was made to hinge, is the low birth of the heroine, instead of her vicious life, being protested against by the respectable father of her intended husband. It must be admitted that tho attempt to chaiten the tone of the original story has destroyed the dramatic charm, and com pletely falsified the meaning of the author. In the interest of virtue, it of course, highly de sirable to make an honest woman of the heroine ; but the effect upon the story is about as disastrous as to submit an ice to the process of boilinz. The adaptation has' been effected in a very careless manner, the en durance and patience of the audience was solely due to the admirable acting of Mrs. Charles Young, who, sur rounded as she was by a set of inceinpetents, played with sufficient force, sweetness, and pathos to enlst the sympathies of an audience, and to win from them con stant demonstrations of approbation and respect. After "The Lady of the Camelias" came a legendary extrava gat,zo entitled "The Lancashire Witches," which ap, peared tote a compound of various nursery tales. The elegance of the raise en-scene and the maodieus sin 2 leg of Rl;s. flowttr 1 Paul insu: ei a sefe passage for it. Tne entertainments concluded with the musical afterpiece of the "Chalet ; or, Why don'. she marry r' STRAND. Mr. Swanborough, the menaler of this now elegant place of amusement, takes his hentfit this evening, and, for the occasion, has provided a bill of fare well calcu- I.ted to please the mo: t fastidious. The great novelties of the evening will be the appear:rocs of Mr. and Mrs. flowar I Paul, and the debut of the Bono children from America, in False of whose performances the whole press of America has been teeming. Miss Marie Wilton, one of our most rising artistes, a!so appears as Nan in Buckstone'e a..lmiralfe conic drama, Good for Nuthieg," and the evening's entertainment concludes with one of Morton's capital farces, in which Mr. S.van borough sustains the leading ;ye. We think Nr.r. §arar boreue;h has claims on the public fir substantial reward fur the manner in which he has raised this theatre to the postion it now occupies in the list of entertainments with which the metropolis abounds. The Princess's still holds out rcY,ainst the summer heats, "Tim Merchant of Vei:ice " a'l the farce cf " Dyin; for Love" being► the entertainments for the weck. At the Olympic, the comedietta A handsome Iltn,band," with the comedy of "Going to the Bad," and the farce of "The Wandtring MiLstrel," form the eighly bill of faro. _ Jlll. and Mr.?.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—As the son of Lady Bulwer Lytton, with the best right to speak on her behalf, and so ob viously with the best means of information as to warrant the hope that my simple assertion will be at once believed in the matter to which I am com pelled to refer, I beg to say that the statements which have appeared in some of the public journals aro exaggerated and distorted, and that they are calculated to convey to the public mind impressions the most erroneous and unjust. As was natural, I put myself in constant communication with my mother, and with the gentleman with whose family, in his private house, she was placed (for I beg dis tinctly to. state that she was never for a moment taken to a lunatic asylum), and I carried out the injunctions of my father, who confided to me im plicitly every arrangement which my affection could suggest, and enjoined me to avail myself of the advice of Lord Shaftesbury in whatever was judged best and kindest to Lady Lytton. My mother is now with me, free from all re straint, and about, at her own wish, to travel for a short time, in company with myself and a female friend and relation of her own selection. From the moment my father felt compelled to authorise those steps which have been made the subject of so much mistepreseutation, his anxiety was to obtain the opinion of the most experienced and able physicians, in order that my mother should not be subject to restraint for one moment longer than was strictly justifiable. Such was his charge to me. The certificates given by Dr. Forbes Winslow and Dr. Conolly are subjoined ; and I ought to add that Dr. Conolly was the physician whom my father had requested to see Lady Lytton ; that Dr. Forbes Winslow was consulted by my mother's legal advisers ; and I felt anxious to obtain the additional authority of the opinion of the latter gentleman, and requested my friend Mr. Edwin James to place himself in communication with him. I trust that such journals as have given publicity to partial and inaccurate statements will do me the justice 0 publish this communication, to which I need add no more than to say, that this painful matter has been arranged, as it ought to be, by the members of the family, whom it exclusively regard: , . —I have the honour to lo - 3, sir, your moat obedient servant, ROBERT B. LYTTON. 1, Park-lane, July 17, 1858. (Copy. No. 1.) To Edwin James, Eiq., Q.C. Having, at your request, examined Lady B. Lytton this day as to her state of mind, I beg to re port to you that, in my opinion, it is such as to 11 , r f.ola 1. think it but au act of justice to Sir Edward B. Lytton to state that, upon the facts which I have ascertaine I were submitted to him, and upon the certificates of the medical men whom he was advised to consult, the course which he has pur sued throughout these painful proceedings cannot be considered as harsh or unjustifiable.—l remain, sir, your obedient servant, FORBES WINSLOW, M. D., D. C.L. 23, Cavendish-square, July 16, 1858. (Copy. No. 2). London, July 17, 1858. Sir,—Notwithstanding the decided opinion which I felt it my duty to express with reference to Lady Lytton, after my visit to her at the priv a t e resi dence of Mr. and Mrs. Hill, and which, I need not repeat, justified the course you adopted, I have much satisfaction in hearing of the arrangements which havo been made for her leaving their family in the society of her son, and of her female friend. —I have the honour to be, sir, very faithfully, your obedient servant, J. CONOLLY, M.D. To tho Right Honourable Sir Edward Bu'war Lytton, Bart., M.P., &e. AN OFFICER'S COMPLAINT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN ENSIGN. Sir,—Will you kindly grant ma a small space in your widely circulated journal ? I belong to a class of people whose grievances are well known, hub apparently little regarded. I am an unfor tunate half-pay officer, who has been promoted for merit from the ranks during the late war in the Crimea, and subsequently placed on the half-pan list. I have been engaged with one of the regi ments of the Light Division of the army as ser geant at the battles of the Alma and Inkerman, and during the whole of the siege of Sebast )pol I never was absent from duty during that arduous campaign, and for months I performed the dutieS of an officer when I was but a sergeant. Previous to the close of the campaign Lavas re commended for and afterwards obtained a commis sion, for which I am very grateful, but after the army arrived in England, I was, as I said befere, placed on the half-pay list. I have tried all in my power to obtain re-employment in the army; but all in vain, although I am free, able, and willing to serve, and not yet twen'y-eight years of age. There are numbers of officers now sent out to India, to fill up vacancies in the army, where I would willingly serve if I only was permitted, but these a7c3 men who purchase their appoititmmts, and because I am not able to imitate them, I sup pose I must remain as I am till doom's day. It is true that I am a poor MAD, with no infiu eutial relations. I have no great friends in high quarters, but still I cannot see why I am not al lowed to serve my Queen and country after having obtained a commission, as well as before. This, sir, is the grievance th it I have referred to. My case is not an exception, but I lay it bef'ire you as an illustration of many more that I know of. Surely if we were considered worthy of her Ma jesty's commission in the army for our services during the late war, we ought to be still permitted to serve. Can you, sir, tell me the reason that we are not ? A SUTHERLAND HIGHLANDER. Kirkwall, July 9, 1858. LAW INTELLIGENGE—(TIiis Day.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. IN RE CALVERT AND CO.-TRADE 'DEBTOR SIMMONS. A. trade debtor summons was appointed to be heard this day, against Messrs. Calvert anti Co., for a sent o f ab3ut 2,000/., but the case was not argued as the debt was admitted and a private arrangement made which did not putliely transpire. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day. MARLBOROUGH STREET. r BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A CONSTABLE.—JAmes a stonemason, was charged before Mr. Beadon wick the following brutal assault on M . Bean, 130 C, an officer of 18 years standing. 111‘Bean said that on the previous day in Moor-street, Soho, he saw the prisoner driving a cab, and a cabman came running up saying that the man had got his ceb. The prisoner then stopped, and on his atteuaptin4 to take him into custody he gave him two severe blows, and when he was on the ground gave him two violent kicks, one in the stomach and the other on the chest, from which he suffsrad great pain, tho kick on the chest causing him to spit blood all the morning. The prisoner, on being charged by the cabman, said he hal only taken it for a "lark." The caly.nau did not stop to see what might happen, but as soon as he got his cab drove off. Toe prisoner, be believed, was a stonemason, worki ng f or the parish of S. James ' s. The conduct of the plisouer was very violent, and it took four c.)ustables to take him into custody. In answer to Mr. Leadley, the chief clerk, M'Beau said he had been to a surgeon, who had ordazed him to remain very quiet for a few days, as he was suffering from internal injuries. The prisoner said he had been a teetotaller for two years and a-half, aid had a little to drink. The cabman wished him to have a ride and he drove. Mr. Beadon said he was receiving parochial relief, was found driving in a cab without a liceEn , , and when the constable came up he struck him, and afterwards kicked him in a very serious manner. He should remand him Lir a week to see what might be the result of the irjuries. TILIMES. AN OLD-ESTABUSHED NUISANCE.—MrR. Collyer, a woman about 35 years of age, who has been charged at this office with being drunk and disorderly upwards of 250 times, and has been committed to prison on 30 or 40 diffirent occasions, was again brought up before Mr. Selfe. Pellow, a police-constable, No. 274 K, said the pri soner was drunk and disorderly yesterday, and sur rounded by a turbulent crowd. The prisoner, who is the wife of a gentleman holding a iucrative situation in one of tli , a docks, and who al. lows her a very handsome stipend, said she would not get drunk any more, a❑d if the magistrate overlooked thia effenca, ehe would never appear before his worship Mr. Selfe—So you said last week. You are a married woman, and have a family, and yin have for many years been a nuhance to the district.

Tha leading country markets, held on Saturday, were but moderately supplied with wheat, which sold lowly, at a slight reduction in prices. For barley and spring corn there was a fair demand, at fall quotations; but flour met a slow sale. Most of the country markets were very inactive for wheat. Other produce, however, has sold at previous rates. The shipments to England continue on a full ave• rage scale. Up to our market [last week, the arrivals of English grain were on a very limited scale. From abroad we re coiv.d 23,987 qrs. of wheat, 10,704 barley, 60,621 oats, 730 been, 1,886 peas, 720 linseed, 1,421 rapeseed, 10 mustard, 718 sundry, 285 sacks and 11,154 brls. of flour. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up this morning, coastwise and by land carriage, were on a very moderate scale. Notwithstanding that the show of samples of both red and white was rather limited, the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, and in most transactions prices were 2s per quarter lower than on this day se'nnight. There was no new wheat in the market, but harvest work will be com menced, both in Kent and Essex, on Thursday next. We were extensively supplied with all kinds of foreign wheat. The demand ruled heavy, and prices were fully is per quarter lower than on Monday last. In floating cargoes of grain very little business was transacted. A sample of new English barley—small, but in nice con. dition—was on offer at 40s per quarter. The show of foreign was good, and most kinds sold on former terms. There was only a limited inquiry for malt, at last week's There was a large show of foreiga oats, yet the oat trade ruled firm, at very full prices. Beans were in short supply and good request, on rather higher terins. The sa!e for peas was steady, at extreme rates. A sample of new white peas was on sale in fair condition. They were worth about 45s per qr. The flour trade was heavy, and prices were the turn lower. New rapeseed was on offer, and for wbich 341. per last was bid. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL afEASURZ.

We may, therefore, an' ticipete the arrival of a much smaller number of half-fat stock than during the greater portion of last month. There was rather a large show of foreign stack in to-daY' l market, but its general quality was inferior, consequentlf the prices realised were very low. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of WOO fresh up this morning, were seasonably good, both as to number and quality. For all breeds we hal a dull inquirfo and, in some instances, prices were 2d par 8 lbs. lower than on Monday last. The fall, however, was almost whollf confined to the inferior kinds.

Compared with Monday last, the show of sheep was °nit moderate, though seasonably good. However, the bulk 40 the supply was inferior. On the whole the mutton trade ruled steady, and prices generally were well supported. Lambs, the supply of which was somewhat extensile , were in fair request, at full quotations.
