DES2'.RUCTION OF COLLIER VESSEL& The destruction of collier vessels trading with the north-east ports, during the hurricane on Mon day Morning, has been frightful ; and it is esti mated that at least 100 seamen belonging to those ports perished with their vessels on that fearful morning. A most serious loss will also fall upon the north country insurance clubs through vessels having been dismasted or having parted with their anchors and cables during the storm. Some idea may be formed of the fearful scene of destruction presented in the North Sea, south of Flamborough Head, from a fact mentioned by the master of the Cumberland, of South Shields, in a letter to his owner, that he and his crew saw fi ve vessels perish with all their crews within a quarter of an hoar in the neighbourhood of Winterton. On Thursday intelligence reached North Shields of th e total loss of the Edgar Atheling, which left the Tyne on Wednesday for Aden with coals. She had en countered the gale off Lowestoft, lost her masts, and a tremendous sea having broken on board of her, she wastlrownon T herhe master'sbea wifemends andan child were and foundered. Her officers and crew were f or t una t e l y rescued dby fishing i smacks. on board the vessel, and they were re scued also. The vessel was insured in the Shields clubs for £7,000, and was alO years' ship. From intelligence received in Shields on Thursday seve ral collier vessels have been caught by the gale on the coast of Holland and at the mouth of the Elbe, and are ashore. The Earl of Talbot, of North Shields, is a wreck. The Robert and Mary, a Sun derland steam tug, drove ashore during the gale, having left that port about two hours before the gale rose, and all her crew are lost. A Sunderland pilot coble has also been missing since Monday morning, and there is every reason to fear that her crew is lost. The storm broke with great sudden ness on Monday morning. Sailors who were out state that it came on like a clap of thunder, and as the collier vessels only had their summer sails up they were ill-able to struggle with it. The ono w lay three feet deep on the Cheviot hills on Monday, and it was so deep on the moorlands in the county of Durham that gangs of men had to bz employed to remove it before the trains on the Stockton and Darlington Railway, between Waskerby and Stan hope, could run. Since Monday, though the wea ther has been cold on the north-east coast, the sea has been calm, and the wind comparatively mo derate, so that many of the vessels on shore at Red car, Hartlepool, and other places along the coast, may be expected to be got off. Some dismasted vessels have been picked up at sea, and towed into the Tyne and other ports. GENERAL GREY'S COLONELCE (From the Times.) The Secretary for War declares that it would have been " a mean, shabby, cowardly thing," to refuse General Grey the Colonelcy to which he has been recently appointed. It seems that we have all been entirely mistaken about this gallant offi cer. So far from being an officer who had been conspicuous chiefly in Hyde Park, as some of the public have loosely believed, he is much more like the Achilles who looks down upon those perambu lating heroes. General Grey was not even a Guardsman—but we never, indeed, heard that he was. •He has been in the Line all his life. Twice he went on colonial service with his regiment, and for nine years he commanded the 71st Regiment, and be visited Canada with it. It so happened, in deed, that during the whole time that he was in the army there were only two occasions when there was a foreign expedition of any kind, and he hap pened to take part in both. One of these expedi tions was the military promenade to Portugal, and the other was to Canada. His services were, in fact, so great that the Duke of Cambridge said to Secretary for War, " I think General Grey's ser vices are such that he ought not to be passed over any longer." The mere military merits and great achievements of the General forced themselves so strongly upon the C omman d er -i n-Chief that he felt scandalised they should have remained so long unacknowledged. The Secretary for War warmly acquiesced. Poor General Grey had suf fered long enough for the position which he held at Court. If he had been plain John Smith with all these services at his back--that desperate voy age to Lisbon, and that possible encounter with the icebergs and fog banks that make a voyage to Canada so dangerous —he would have been made a colonel long ago. Was he to be kept back simply because he had a place at Court, and bemuse the public prints would carp at the appointment ? The Duke said it would be " monstrous," and the Sec retary said that it would be " a mean, shabby, cowardly thing, not to give him a post of this sort when it fell vacant." We wish we could go along with the Secretary for War in this triumphant defence. We wish we could accept it as an undoubted fact that an officer who has passed a large portion of his life in the exemplary fulfilment of garrison duty at home, who has been two short voyages across the seas, and who has alway s cre dit a bl y di scharged his military duties until within the last eighteen years, when he was promoted to an office about the person of the Prince Consort—we wish, we say, we could accept it as an undoubted fact that such an officer is entitled as a matter of course to a sine eure colonelcy, without reference to his service at Court. IN hat a happy race of old men we should then have in our army ! There would be no disappointed veterans, no complaints of' gal lant deeds unch ron i c l e d and great achievements un remembered. No man then could show his scars and make every wound a reproach to his country. If respectable mediocrity had a right to claim such a reward, how comfortable must our old fire-eating campaigners have been previously made ! Mr. Sidney Herbert does not for a moment suggest that General Grey ever saw a shot fired in anger, or that he ever " set a squadron in the field." No doubt, that is his misfortune. If he had had the oppor tunity he would have done like any other British officer. He would have gone to the Crimea, if they would have sent him there, and that he would have distinguished himself there we most sincerely be lieve. Unhappily, however, he had not the oppor tunity, and others had. Unfortunately, also, we must measure a soldier's services by what he has done, and not by what he might, would, could, or should have done if he had had the chance. If there be upon the roll of the British Army no officer who has done more than General Grey has done, we should say, and the whole country would say, give him the Colonelcy by all means. But how is this? If we may 'trust the uncontradicted testi• moray of General Evans, there are fourteen officers senior to General Grey, who have seen a great deal of service in the field and in the colonies, some of whom had actually been wounded in action, not once, but many times. It is diffi cult for us to divine how it would have been " a mean and a cowardly thing" to have refrained from passing over these worn and maimed soldiers, and to have given this Colonelcy to any of them in preference to General Grey. Again, if we put aside the point of seniority, it appears that there are generals who have com manded brigades, and even divisions, during the Indian mutiny, and in the Crimea, who have not yet received this pillow of repose for tired veterans. There are older men who have fought and bled in their country's service, and who have looked to this sinecure as the object and reward of their labours ; and there are men as old in years, but junior in rank, who have earned this reward by brilliant achievements. Eminent among the examples of this latter class is General George Bell, who was instanced in the debate. This old man has a mi litary career of half a century. Forty of these years were were passed in active serv ice . He has fought in the Peninsula, where he was pre sent in the great heroic battles ; he has endured the climates of the East and West Indies ; he went through the Canadian rebellion and the Bur mese war, and he wound up with that little affair in the Crimea—being wounded in the trenches be fore Sebastopol. Yet Mr. Sydney Herbert, stands up in the House of Commons and triumphantly declares that it would have been "mean and cow ardly" not to have given a military p ens ion--for that is what a sinecure colonelcy rea ll y i s —t o General Grey instead of to General Bell. Let us not be misunderstood in this matter. We have nothin g t o say aga i nst General Grey. His conduct as an officer has been uni m p eac h a bl e; his duties as Secretary to the Prince Consort have been, we doubt not, most meritoriously performed. After 18 years' service to the Prince, he is entitled to an increase of income, and he ought to have it— but not from this source. These sinecure colonelcies are the bounty of the nation for services rendered in the field. They are willingly and heartily given, but they are given for men who have sustained our national renown, and who have done great deeds!of arms. They are military prizes. When a man has won them let him have them. Be he courtier or be he rustic no one will inquire ; but let him show his achievements. There are apposite re wards for every service. Watt may have deserved better of his country than Lord Eldon, but no one would have insisted upon giving Watt the retiring pension of a Lord Chancellor. Sir John Lawrence has deserved well of his country, but no one would wish to see Sir John Lawrence made Archbishop of Canterbury. General Grey has passed his youth in the army, and he has got his rank; he has spent his manhood in a civil office, and he deserves pos sibly a civil reward ; but every one is scandalised when he is endowed with an income which ought to be the reward of a distinguished soldier. Such a job as this is bad policy, bad expediency. It does more harm than a hundred demagogues could do. They who do it cannot know how it flies about through the nation, and how it is remembered, and what fruit it bears. They who defend it are the worst enemies of those whom they encourage to such a course of action. It really is not worth the evil it costs. When Mr. Disraeli rushes to the rescue with an ostentatious obsequiousness, he is doing an ill office to those he would propitiate ; there would have been more real friendship in a little honest expostulation. As to Mr. Sydney Herbert, he is evidently only covering a hollow job with fierce words. If it would have been "a mean, shabby, and cowardly thing" to re fuse this military reward to General Grey, who has never been in front of a foe, in what terms will he characterise the refusal of this reward to General Bell, who has fought in every battle-field where a foe has shown himself? (From the Daily News.) It cannot be helped. Fifteen million pounds a-year for military purposes is inevitable,. So says General Peel, the late War Minister ; and so says Mr. Sidney Herbert, the present War Minister. Mr. Gladstone may talk of temporary expenses, and Mr. Bright may thunder about extravagance, but they are economical enthusiasts. So long as the present House of Commons controls our destiny, waste and apathy must be the order of the day. There is no man in Parliament who un d ers t an d s the temper of that assembly better than Mr, Sid ney Herbert, and the tone of his speech on Thurs. day night proved conclusively his boundless confi dence in their sympathy with corruption. It is unfortunate Vat Mr. Bright, who denounces with so much vehemence in the provinces the extra vagance. of Government, should systematically absent himself when the votes for the Army and Navy are being taken ; but perhaps, like many others, he looks at the audience and despairs of producing any effect. It would be disingenuous to suppose that Mr. Sidney Herbert really be lieved in the defence he set up for General Grey. That that gentleman is now, and has been for years, an officer in her Majesty's service requires no demonstration. But the sinecure appointment of a colonelcy has hitherto been considered, in theory at least, alspecial reward—a special distinc tion for military service. The fact is so staled under Mr. Sidney Herbert's own hand and seal. And unless every officer in the army is to be rewarded General Grey's appointment must be considered, as Sir J. Trelawny phrased it, " an iniquitous job." True enough, there is nothing very novel in the theory. Worse things have been done many a time. Look at the Army Estimates last year, and you may soe amongst the list of what the Horse Guards call non-effective or distinguished services a good service pension attached to the name of the Hon. T. Ashburnham, who never distinguished himself except by returning home in disobedience of orders and in getting a regiment for his spirit. True enough, Sir Richard Airey and his subordi nate, the Hon. Arthur Gordon, were installed in the very best appointments at the Horse Guards in defiance of public opinion and in spite of proved. incompetency ; and Sir Richard, to his other emo luments, has an extra £lOO as a reward for dis tinguished, or rather, non effective services. Nor have the people yet forgot how a most" clubbable" gentleman was transferred, after some thirty years' inaction, from the whist table to a great com mand, which has taxed the energies of such men as Sir Charles Napier and Lord Clyde. It is most true that the Grey job is by no means the worst job ever perpetrated by the Horse Guards. As there is a maximum and minimum of nudity, according to Lord Palmerston, so, according to Mr. Sidney Herbert, there is a maximum and a minimum of corruption. " You call thisappointment of General Grey a job," exclaims the War Minister, " I will show you fifty mere scandalous." "Surely," retorts Sir John Trelawny, " you ought to appoint the most distinguished officers; you have the power of selection; that power ought to be exer cised justly." " I have exercised it justly," says Mr. Sidney Herbert, " because many worse men than General Grey have been appointed to command regiments." Ask Mr. Disraeli and he will tell you how well General Grey does his duties about Court. Besides, the man has noble sentiments and a high character; even Royal minds have been elevated and refined by holding communion with so high souled a personage. Hundreds of officers in the army are unfit to be private secretaries, even to Princes of the Blood. Before now Princes of the Blood, themselves unfit to be private secretaries, have commanded armies and led them to disaster. But this gallant gentleman, so Mr. Disraeli says, " Has performed his duties at Court in a manner which entitles him to the confidence of the public." What then ? Why of course it is most unjust to object to a job which might easily have been exceeded in shamelessness. If all appointments in the Army are beyond criticism to which the annals of the Horse Guards can furnish no more scandalous parallel, it must be candidly admitted that neither the War Minister nor the Commander-in• Chief has yet laid himself open to censure. At the same time it is well that this startling theory has been avowed in the House of Commons. On Thursday night the War Minister declared that his views with respect to purchase had undergone no change, and that he was at pre sent maturing his plans for selecting the lieut.- colonels from the majors. There is undoubtedly considerable difficulty in this scheme, for unless the War Minister and the Commander-in-Chief are willing not only to profess some rational creed with respect to military merit, but to bind themselves by some definite rules which shall prevent any gross abuse of patronage, it will need more eloquence and courage than even Mr. Sidney Herbert possesses to persuade Parliament to confer either upon himself or the Duke of Cambridge any larger powers. It is hard enough for gallant old men who have bl2d and fought for their country before either I\fr. Sid ney Herbert or the Hon. C. Grey, or even H.R.H. the Duke of Cambridge, tortured their first fly, should be postponed to a courtier at St. James's. It will never do to increase their power when they , openly profess themselves emancipated from com mon sense. But perhaps the worst feature of Thursday's de bate was the seeming determination of the War Minister to do nothing—to make no improvement. He could see nothing in the army that needed re form, or that could be reformed. Officer after officer pointed out that since the Crimean war a nobleman had been appointed to inspect the Guards although the same duty had been performed for 40 years without any such extra expense. Still Mr. Sidney Herbert can do nothing. Again and again it has been pointed out that the Army Estimates are a mass of confusion—a curious labyrinth in which no man can find his way. It is utterly impossible for a plain reader to ascertain how much any single thing connected with the army costs. The Com mander-in-Chief seems to have only £3,300 a-year, whereas in point of fact he gets about double that sum. Officers on the Staff seem to get a miserably small pittance, but really draw many hundreds a year from the public treasury. General officers in India who get their £3,000 or £4,000 a-year seem, on the face of the public documents, to get nothing at all; and military governors are in the same po sition. For years the authorities at the Treasury have remonstrated against this elaborately con fused system. It was a theory of the Duke of Wellington that in case of a popular commotion the soldiers should never be visible. It is the opinion of the Horse Guards that the money spent upon the army should be kept out of sight. No body ought to be allowed to know how much money the army really costs the country. If Mr. Sidney Herbert were sternly bent upon intro ducing economy into our army affairs he would have no difficulty in reducing this chaos to order. The danger is that if the public really understood the enormous sums which are spent upon the Army, and especially upon the Staff, they would insist upon a reduction. Of what use are these 150 folio pages of the Army Estimates ? They are more fitted to darken than to illuminate the in quirer. But what is to be done? The House of Commons is above caring for these things. And Mr. Sidney Herbert is inclined to take advantage of the fatal apathy. He can save himself trouble, and please the higher powers. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—June 1. LAMBETH. SHAMEFUL CASE. -- ilarriet Robins, a genteel-looking young woman, 18 years of age, was charged with stealing a watch and chain, the property of John Butler, a married man, who is in the employment of his father, an iron bedstead maker, in Broad-street, Lambeth. The prosecutor said that on Wednesday last he met the prisoner at Wandsworth fair, and after spending some ti me w ith h er there, had passed the night with her at th e L on d on Coff ee-house, in the e London-road. On Th urs d a y morn i ng s h e left him in bed, and soon after she was gone he missed his watch and chain, and they were the same as now produced by the pawnbroker. In reply to the question of the magistrate, the witness admitted he was a married man and had known the prisoner and her parents for some years, and believed them to be decent, hardworking people, but understood that the prisoner had car ried on an improper intercourse with a young fel low who had kept her company. The prisoner, who wept bitterly, denied the truth of this assertion, and declared she was virtu ous up to the time she met the complainant. Sergeant Budd said he took the prisoner into custody, and believed her statement, that she had taken the property, from the prosecutor's conduct towards her. Her statement to him was that she had pledged it for a pound, tore up the duplicate, and dropped the sovereign into the watercloset. The mother of the prisoner, who appeared in the deepest affliction, here appealed to the magistrate as to what she should do to the complainant for his gross perfidy towards her daughter. En reply to a further question from the magis- trate, - - The prosecutor admitted he had not made a present of any sort to the unfortunate girl, and now said Ire had no wish to press the charge pro vided he got his property back. Mr. Norton left him to his own remedy, animad verted in severe but just terms on his conduct, and discharged the prisoner, to the great satisfaction of a crowded court. SOUTIIWARK.—GROSS CHARGE Op VIOLAT ING A YOUNG,IVOINIAN.—Owen Dale, a powerful, ruffianly-looking young fellow, de*cribed as a brick layer's labourer, was brought:bef ore Mr. Burcharn, charged with violating the person of Julia Sullivan, /f, ea r___ej - ---;ryoung woman, twel brutal and outrageous 'le complainant, a deco Ana —gave her evidence witlftve. demea nour, and with some hesitation, said that she worked for Messrs. Josephs, the extensive furriers, in the Borough, and lodged at 11, Falcon-court, High-street, near where the prisoner lodged. She knew him by their living near, but they were not intimate. On Tuesday night, after her day's labour, she went to see some friends in Lambeth, and was returning home, a little before twelve o'clock, when she met the prisoner at the bottom of Falcon-court, and he asked her how she had spent her holidays. She said "pretty well," and was about to pass on to her lodgings, when he asked her to go and have a glass of ale. She consented, and they went into a public house opposite, where they remained half an-hour, conversing with other young men lodging in the same court, and then they all left for their lodgings and separated. As soon as she got to her door, t 17e prisoner seized hold of her shawl and pulled tier back, and put his hands round her neck. She tried to prevent him, but he overpowered her and pulled her down on the pavement just out of the court at the rear. She screamed out for help as loud as she could, and got hold of his neckerchief, but all to no purpose, as he was too strong for such a weak person, and after struggling together for nearly a quarter of an hour, her ruin was com pleted. (The girl cried bitterly.) A young man named Murray then came up and lifted her from the ground. Mr. Burcham asked her whether no person came near them while she was screaming and struggling with the prisoner. She replied that three or four women stood there, and all she heard them say to the prisoner was, " Get up you nasty beast." They never at tempted to help her or went for assistance. In cross-examination by Mr. W. Edwin, for the prisoner, she said she never allowed any liberties with the prisoner, and it was by main force that he effected his purpose, which the injuries all over her person could show. Mr. Burcham asked whether any of those dis ' gusting and cowardly women were in court ? Witness replied that they were not, but the, young man who rescued her was. Thomas Murray, the person related to, stepped forward, and said he lodged in the same court. Between twelve and one on Tuesday morning, as he was about to go to bed he heard a female scream, but at first he could not tell whether it was in a house or in High-street, as such things are fre quent in that neighbourhood. The screaming, how ever, continued louder, and he immediately went out, and hearing a female again scream " Help, help," at the end of the court, he proceeded there, and saw the prisoner and the complainant, who was struggling hard, and almost exhausted, on the ground. (Witness described their position, which corroborated the girl's statement.) There were three or four females standing by at the time, but they took no notice. He pushed them on one side, and lifted the prosecutrix up, and the prisoner absconded. He conveyed her to her lodgings and left her there. Mr. Burcham observed that it was a very brutal • outrage, and he should feel it his duty to cause a thorough investigation to be made into all the cir cumstances. The officer who had charge of the case must use every exertion to find those unfeeling women who stood by while the outrage was being committed, and any other evidence that could be forthcoming. The officer who apprehended the prisoner said he would obey his worship's injunctions. He produced a medical certificate from Dr. Evans, who pro nounced that the capital offence had been com- mitted. Mr. Burcham said that under all the circum stances he should remand the prisoner until Thurs day, when Dr. Evans must be present, and the depositions of the witnesses would be taken. Mr. Edwin asked if his worship would accept bail for the prisoner. Mr. Burcham—Certainly not. He must be re manded to gaol. WORSHIP-STREET.—THE RECENT HORRIBLE CHARGE AGAINST A ROMAN CATHOLIC SCHOOL MASTER.—John Spencer, otherwise John Benedict Spencer, recently a schoolmaster in Goldsmith's row, Hackney-road, and stated by the police to be a Roman Catholic priest, was again brought before Mr. D'Eyncourt by Inspector Webster, of the N division of police, charged with the commission of an abominable offence upon several of his pupils. It will be recollected that at the conclusion of the former examination, which embraced only the evidence of one of the pupils, by name Leon Moresco, the prisoner was, at the request of his solicitor, admitted to bail, but the amount being two sureties of £5OO, he was unable to furnish it, and he was consequently conveyed to the House of I)etention in the prison van. - Three other charges were now proceeded with, each of which, as in the former one, were of so gross a character as to preclude a clear detail. Mr. I)'Eyncourt remanded the prisoner for the completion of the depositions in the four that had been heard, bail being now . of course out of the question. Inspector Webster said that he had ascertained the prisoner, about twelve months since, kept a largo school in Great Titchfield-street, under the name of John Benedict Spencer, where similar mal practices were carried on, to the truth of which three boys were ready to avouch. The prisoner was then removed. BAIL TP A Y INT_ELLIGENCE: TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE WEEK. Miles Opened Receipts.
