In General Michel'a-: despatch from Allahabad, dated Oct. 22, 1858, we find specially mentioned "the gallantry of Lieut. Wood, of the 17th Lancers, who (having from paucity of officers in the 3d Cavalry, volunteered. , s during the campaign to command a troop of the 3d Light Cavalry) on this occasion (a severe engage ment with a large force of mutineers) almost single. handed came up to and attacked a body of the enemy." Going back to the eventful days of the Crimean campaign, we read, in the annals of the heroic Naval Brigade more than one tale of bravery in which this young officer's name is conspicuous. ( On the 17th of Oct.,lBs4—just four years previous to his display of valour in India—he'velunteeredp:''' with Mr. Daniels to bring powder from the rear, under heavy fire. On the 18th, a shell having burst in the covering of a parapet magazine, he in- stantly jumped upon it, and alone busied himself in_ clearing and repairing it under a heavy fire, till joined by Captain Peel, for which he received the thanks of that officer. On the 19th of April, hi the following year, he was noticed by Admiral Lushington, standing on a parapet, repairing a ~, deep gap made by the enemy's fire, which was'` so heavy that it daunted the Sappers whose pro per work it should have been. Again, on the 18th of June, rising from a sick bed, he volunteered to •- 1 join the ladder party ; and, though wounded in the _.; hand, he assisted to carry the ladders up to the Redan, and was the only naval officer who advanced as far as the abattis. These noble acts arc well cer tified in letters from Lord Raglan, Sir Stephen Lushington, and Captain Peel. The first of these distinguished men writes a few words of admiring smypathy on the occasion of Lieut. Wood's receiv ing a severe wound. The second writes to Captain Michell, R.N.:--" I saw him (Wood) in the trenches, and he bore it like a hero. He was Peel's and Peel tried to keep the bey from the murde rous fire into which they plunged with the scaling ladders, but he would take no Nefusal, and went out with the rest." And in writing to Mr. Wood him self, Sir Stephen says :—" You have none to thank for the Legion of Honour but your own gallant conduct from the first to the last crowning act, when you walked up from the Redan, with a huge grape shot sticking in your arm, which I took at first for the bone protruding." Captain Peel praises the young man's " beautiful courage in battery," and adds that "conduct and manners are as exem plary as his courage." In his memorable speech at the Mansion-house, Lord Lyons dcclare'l that no brighter instance of devotion was contained in the pages of chivalry than the conduct of Captain Peel and his aides-de-camp, among whom Mr. Wood came in for special notice. We have been somewhat circumstantial in recalling the services oflllr. Henry E. Wood, because we learn that, on the most incon ceivably absurd ground, he has been refused the dis tinction of the Victoria Cross or Order of Valour. It appears that his name had been down for some months ; but because he left the navy and sought other ways of winning renown in the cause of his in g country that th th e e genius y oun g o f routine hero sh has shall in terposed, unrewarded de ela and unhonoured. Lieutenant Wood, who is a son of John Page Wood, Bart.,has memorialised the First Lord of the Admiralty, respectfully appealing for justice. The fresh publicity we have given to his case may, and we sincerely hope will, be of help in procuring him what he has so good a title to de mand.—. Daily News. THE -LATE MAJOR HODSON.

ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir X. Romilly.) IN RE NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY COMI`.ANY EX EARTII PEABSON. The further hearing of this part-heard adjourned• sum 7 mons and petition was resumed by Mr. Roundel Palmer, Q.C.,_ for the company, this morning . The contention, is an objection taken to the title, ofMr. Pearson to a small piece of land required by the company for railway purposes, under the 48th and 49th sections of the act. Mr. Palmer contended that the vendor had only been about 20 years in possession, having a beneficial . interest without a legal title. Mr. Speed followed' on the same side. He asked for a title of 30 years' possession to bar disabilities, 40 years to bar objection., and 50 years' possession to give a good title (Douglas the Northern Railway Company, 1; Keay v, Johnstone, page 153,; and 108th section of the Railway Act) ; and therefore that the Court caald not decree specific performance of the contract of sale. At the conclusion of the arguments of counsel his Honour delivered judgment. His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, considered that as It appeared from the evidence of an old man named Tomlinson, that in 1813 Thomas Pearson •the elder pur chased the property in question—Pentrich Mains—and let it to a person of the name'of Taylor. Thomas Pearson the elder, by a general devise, devised all his lands to his son,, John Pearson, so that he has had possession of the land from 1813 down to the date of the purchase by the com pany. His Honour thought that forty-six years undis turbed possession of the lands by the vendor was sufficient to, enable him to give a good conveyance to the company, His Honour made a declaration to the effect that the title given to the company was a, good title to the lands, and directed Mr. Pearson's sister, the co-heiress; to concur in the' conveyance, and in the event of her - refusal to appoint a person to concur for her in terms of the Act, and order the dividends and purchase money to be p ai d over, on completing the title; to Mr. Pearson. Mr. Ernslie, Q.C., for Mr. Pearson, asked costs under the 50th and 215th sections of the Act. His Honour had difficulty in giving costs in rectifying a, title which appeared tO be bad. - He knew that in some of the superior courts law costs were given in an unsucce.ss-r ful defence, but he could not give full costs in this ease. Mr. Ehnslie—With respect to Storey POre the /opinion of the counsel 'of the company was obtained in 1837, and it appeared that •only two-thirds of that .property was con veyed to John Pearson. His Honour remitted the bill of costs to the taxing master to consider what was necessary and proper 'to be . allowed is costs. COURT OF .BANItIiTiPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner cans.). IMPORTANT APPLICATION•-PROTECTION AFTER REFUSAL OP CERTIFICATE.-IN RE JAMES FOLDEN. Mr. Bagley applied on behalf of this bankrupt, under the following circumstances :—The bankrupt had carried on business with his son, as fishing-tackle makers, but the transactions. became irregular, and bankruptcy was the result. Upon the application for certificate, his Honour granted an immediate certificate of the second class to the san, but wholly refused that of the ap plicant on the ground that he had given a bond on behalf of a friend to Hanaway's Charity, by which the Charity were considerable losers. The bankrupt had the usual protection to give him an opportunity of appeal ing against his Honour's decision, but had endeavoured to effect an arrangement with the trustees and the other cre ditors, and on a ffi davits his Honour granted protection for one month, Mr. Warrand, the solicitor for the assignees not objecting. IN RE WHEELER. • This bankrupt was described as of Bryanstone-square, ot : merchant, and this was a meeting for the choice of as sinme„,s..

GERMANS seeing the nobloearl in his place, he begged to put: a question to him. When - himoble friend (Earl Grey) withdrew his motion for the production of the correspondence on the subject of the lonian Islands, he did so in consequence of the noble earl stating as a reason for not producing tho papers that the effect would be to cast censure on some persons who would not be in a position to giie asatisfactory answer. , An impression had arisen amongst the friends of Sir John Young, in which he (Earl S 4. Gerntans) did not participate, that he was in some way alluded to. It would however be satisfactory to Sir John Young if the noble earl would give a denial to the state ment in his place in Parliament. The Earl of DERBY said he trusted he should be able to give the noble earl a satisfactory answer. He did not use the word censure. Earl ST. GERMANS that is not important. - The Earl of DERBY—In what I did. say I had not the slightest idea of castinganyreflection upon Sir John Young who had acted during the time ho held office with great ability and discretion in a case of great difficulty. THE GREAT CLOCK. Lord CAMPBELL said he had expected, when he re turned to town from circuit, to find the great clock of the Houses of Parliament going. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) Although he knew the noble earl was occupied at the pre • sent moment with matters of much greater moment— (laughter)—hT must again ask him what steps had been taken in the matter, and when there would be a likelihood of the clock being in going order. The Earl of DERBY said, after the noble lord had asked him the question on a former occasion, he had conferred with the Board of Works, Who in their turn had conferred with Sir C. Barry, and he informed them that the bell was entirely in the hands of Mr. Denison. Ho had, however, reasonto suppose that in it very short time the clock would be in working order. He could at any rate inform the noble and learned lord that since he had spoken the. clock had passed on at least half-an-hour. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) POOR LAW (IRLAND). The Marquis of CLANRICARDE presented a petition from the guardians of the Tsam Poor-law Union, relating to the baptism and religious education of deserted children in Ireland, and moved for a copy of a letter aAdressed by the Poor-law Commissioners of Ireland to the ITuam Union upon the subject. The noble marquis entered at some length on the present' system, which he said engen dered great irritation and acrimony. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE thought that legisla tion was much wanted on the subject alluded to by the noble marquis opposite, but he must say he thought the disadvantages of the present system had been very Much exaggerated.. After a few words from the Marquis of CLANRICARDB the motion was withdrawn. • ' THE INDIAN MONEY MARKET. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH rose, and was 'CLEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—(Tins EVENING); The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.

The 'report on the Atlantic Telegraph Company Was brought up and agreed to. ROYAL COMMISSION. The members of the house were summoned to the bar of the House of Lords, to hear the Royal assent given by commission to several r bill T s. E ITIONS. Several petitions were presented against the Government it et ;,.*ni Bill ; for the abolition of church rates ; for the repeal of the fluty on paper; against the Local Rates Exemption Bill ; t:." our of a comprehensive and satisfactory Reform Bill being int:nduced with as little delay as possible ; for the exemption of charitable institutions from local taxation; against the Highle,7 Bill, &c., &e. THE GOVEKNMENT REFORM BILL. Mr. D. GRIFFITH gave notice that on Monday he would ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether uni formity of franchise was a principle or merely a detail. (Hear, hear.) Mr. IV. 0. STANLEY gave notice that, in the event of the Government Bill not being read a second time, he would ;neve that this measure, not being satisfactory to the country, the Government were not entitled to the confidence of the house. (Cheers.) SALUTING THE HOST AT MALTA. Majqr S. KNOX askedthe Secretary of State for the Co lonies whether he had .any objection to lay on the table of the house a copy of any orders that had been sent to the authorities at Malta relative to the garrison orders in force in that fortress ; also, what instructions the Government proposCd to issue in regard to soldiers being called upon to salute the Host, or any religious personage or procession, either in that island or any other part of her Majesty's Co lonial Possessions? Sir E. B. LYTTON said that there was au old garrison order directing the Host to be saluted, but subsequently another order had been issued byLord Hill, and he (Sir E. B. Lytton) had given instructions to the Governor to obey that order, and in future the salutation alluded to would be discontinued. The Bishop of Malta received the same honours as a brigadier-general, and it would not be politic to diseontinue such honours. THANKSGIVING FOR THE INDIA. TRANQUILLITY OF Sir H. VERNEY asked the Chancellor of the Exche quer whether he: Majesty had been advised to appoint a day of general thail:sgiving to the Almighty for the resto ration of tranquillity IL: India ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the Government were of opinion that there should be some re cognition of the Divine favour, but her Majesty's instruc tions on the particular form had nut yet been received. FEES IN I'HE TRANSFER OF LAND COURT (IRELAND). Mr. GRIFFITH asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether it was the intention of the Goventment to equalise the per-tentage fees upon the sale of pi opefty in the Trans fer of Land Courts in Ireland, to the amount payable on value under £10,000? Lord NAAS—The subject is now under cOnsideration, with a view to equalise the fees in question. NAVIGATION OF THE DANUBE. Mr. DODSON asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the European Commission, ap pointed under the 16th article of the Treaty of Paris, 1856, to designate and cause to be executed the work:, necessary below Isatcha to clear the mouths of the Danube as well as the neighbouring parts of the sea, from the sands and other impediments which obstruct them, in order to put that part of the river and the said parts of the sea in the best possible state for navigation,' had designated the works which in its opinion were necessary ; whether those works, or any others for effecting the same purposes, were being carried out ; and, if so, who were the persons charged with the direction of such works, and when it was probable they would be completed ? Mr. S. FI'I ZGERALD explained that by arrangement between the five powers concerned, the matter had been re ferred to a commission of inquiry sitting in Paris, at which this country was represented, and it was the opinion of that commission that the St. George's mouth should be improved. When all the works necessary for improving the navigation of the Danube were carried out they would cost about £500,000, which would be repaid by a tax on ships using the river. THE SOLICITOR-GENERAL. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL corrected some errors in a statement made in the course of the debate on the Government bill last night by the hon. member for Dover with reference to a hustings speech delivered by him (the Solicitor-General) at Belfast. THE PICTURE OF "THE APOLLO AND MARSYAS." Mr. CONINGHAM asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, whether, as the authorities at the National Gallery were reported to have expressed their willingness to give a large sum for a picture by Raffaelle, it was not desirable that the Government should secure for the nation the famous picture of "The Apollo and Marsyas," now in the possession of Morris Moore, Esq., the original drawing of which is in the academy at Venice. The hon. member referred to the services rendered by Mr. Moore, who, ho contended, had been very badly treated, and from his attacks on high parties, he was reduced to a state that left him no alternative but suicide or starva tion. The hox. member then proceeded to address the how r ie in a strain of vehement indignation, but was com pelled to conclude abruptly his remarks ftom the impo tence evinced by the house. THE ANNUITY TAX BILL. In reply to Mr. BLACK,' The LORD ADVOCATE said that he would not be prepared to bring forward the Government measure on Wednesday next. THE COUNCIL OF INDIA. Mr. V. SMITH asked the Secretary of State for India to lay on the table any minutes or regulations he had made for the transaction of business in the Council of , India, under the 20th section of ths act 21 and 22 Vic., c. 106. After some discussion on a point of order, Mr. V. SMITH contended that the regulations adopted with refzrence to the transactions of the Council, instead, of light being admitted everything was rendered even moro obscure than previously, to the public at large. Lord STANLEY said he had no objection to lay the minutes in questions, which were very brief, on the table. The Council were, divided , into committees for the transaction of business. He agreed in the sugges tion of the honourable member that there should be a special announcement made with respect to ' these secret despatches and that course would be adopted in future. It was not the regular course to lay such docu ments as the despatch of the 3 d of August, on the table, but in the present instance he would have no objection ti do so. He had ordered the second despatch to be re ferret to the secret committee, and had been sent out from the secret department by those recommendations. It was not, theretore, brought before the council. THE MURDER NEAR BOSTON. The following confession has been made by Pickett, one of the men charged with the murder of William Stevenson : " Myself and Carey left the public-house on the evening in question, between ten and eleven o'clock, and went towards the house of my father, who had gone to bed. We then crossed the drain in a boat of my father's, at the request of Carey, to go to Sands's for two rabbits he had shot. As we went Carey drew a large stake up, and told me to do the same, as he said we might be attacked by dogs, but I would not. When we had got a little distance, we overtook Mr. Stevenson. Carey said Let's kill the old b- - • he's got some money.' I advised him not, but 'he went up to him and hit him on the right side of the head, wen think knocked him down, and sat on his head, and put his ham. in his pocket and took the money out, and then got up and hit him three or four times with the stick. He then said Take hold of his head,' but I would not, and he said, ' If you don't I'll serve you the same.' I then helped him to throw the deceased into the sewer ; he picked up his stick •, the old man stood up in the dyke, and he went and struck him two or three times more ; the old man climbed up the bank on the other side, and I went round to help him up ; but Carey came round the other way, and with a stick knocked him down again, and struck him seven or eight times, breaking the stick which he used to atoms. The old man tried to get up, but Carey struck him with a hedge-stake until he was dead, and then trailed him to the hedge next th esewer dyke, and said to me 'take hold of his - legs and we'll throw him into the sewer.' I said what for, let him be.' He then reared him up on his head on the hedge layers and tumbled him into the sewer; ho went on towards Mr. Stevenson's house, and I went to Joseph Coates' house ; when I got on the bank Carey overtook me, and said the old man is dead, he does not stir in the water at all.' I've got £1 2s. 6d., and a handful of papers and two bags. We went to my ather's seven-acre gate, and he hid them there under some grass, on the bank side against the tunnel. We then went on to my father's boat, and crossed the river in it. I said I would go home, and as Carey waited to go with me, I wouldn't take him, and so we went to Sands's house across the fields, as he was afraid the policeman would see us if we went round by the road. I slept in Sands's outhouse, and Carey in the beast-hovel. I awoke early in the morning, and went to him about half past five. Mr. Sands came into the hovel and tumbled over my foot. We then went to Richardson's (the Ship public house), and there Carey pulled out two bags he had taken from Stevenson, and the stolen money, and put it in the bags, and also a stone, and threw them all into Richard son's pit. I afterwards left him and went home." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BIRMINGHAM ANNUAL AND MILITARY STERPLECHASES.—THURSDAY. Selling Steeplechase of 5 sous each, with 20 added. Four year-olds and upwards.

[ADVERTISEMENT.) —Holloway's Ointment and Pills. — Diphtheria—Ulcerous Sore Throat.—This disease has lately become so rapid and fatal in its attacks, that it behoves every one living at a distance from medical aid to be provided with some antidote immediately applicable on the appearance of the disorder. For such purpose Hol loway's preparations can be confidently recommended, as they never can be productive of harm, but must always soothe the system, repress inflammation, check ulceration, and allay the irritative fever always accompanying this complaint. The ointment is applied externally to the throat, chest, and back, where it exercises a wonderfully preservative influence over nerves, lymphatics, and glands, while the pills exeft an equally beneficial power internally over the throat and air passages. POLICE IN2'ELLIGENC.E.-(THIS MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY BY A 44 GENTLEMAN" AT THE PRINCESS'S TnEaTnE.Alfred Wiggins, described on the charge-sheet as a "gentleman," of 21, Walcot-square, Kennington, and" who was attired in a fashionable cloak or coat, was charged with stealing from the person of Mr. James Marks, of 5, Edward-terrace, Caledonian-road, cheesemonger, at the hall of the Princess's Theatre, a silver watch, of the value of Sh. The prosecutor said that on the previous night about twelve he was in the hall of the Princess's Theatre, Oxford street, about leaving, when his attention was attracted to the prisoner, by noticing him eyeing his gold Albert chain in a very peculiar manner. The prisoner then walked up to him, looked him hard in the face, then thrust his fingers into his, waistcoat pocket, and took his watch off at the swivel, leaving the guard hanging down his waistcoat; but the whole transaction was done with such rapidity that he was unable to prevent him carrying out his object. As soon as he had got his watch his hand went under his cloak, and he then_ charged him with stealing his watch ; a little altercation took place, and he heard the watch fall, and his (witness's) brother picked it up. In answer to the magistrate (Mr. Bingham), the prose secutor said that he hadnot the slightest doubt about it, and that on his taxing him with the robbery he muttered some thing which he could not understand, and then offered him his " card." The prisoner, in answer to the magistrate, said he would rather have it settled at once, and would plead guilty. A constable having stated that he had been seen about the theatre before, he was committed for six months with hard labour. MEMOIR OF DR. 3IUSPRATT. --- - The following sketch of the distinguished Liverpool chemist appears in the new edition of Men of the Time' : " Muspratt, James Sheridan, Professor of Chemistry, was born in Dublin, March Bth, 1821. His father's subsequent removal to Liverpool, where he surprised the busy inhabi tants by the magnitude of his chemical works, placed the early education of Sheridan Mu.a_pratt in the hands first of the Rev. Mr. Hind of Winwick, Lancashire, and afterwards of Dr. Cowan. At this early period he evinced a taste for chemistry; and having at thirteen travelled through France and part of Germany, he on returning took the first step to wards future achievements by repairing to the Andersonian University of Glasgow, where for nine months he studied in the laboratory of Professor Graham, whom he afterwards followed to London, when that gentleman took the chair of the late Dr. Turner. in the University College, in Gower street About this period, and before the age of 17, Sheri dan Muspratt had made sufficient progress to be entrusted with the chemical department at the works of Peel Thomp son, in Manchester, and also published a paper upon chlo ride of lime, which attracted considerable attention. Proceeding to America, he there entered into a trading partnership, but soon discovered, by the loss of some thousands, that he was better fitted for the laboratory than the Exchange. The result was that he retired from a field for which nature had evidently not intended him ; and having terminated his American experience by visiting the various States, he in the year 1843 , repaired to Giessen, and placed himself under the great Liebig, who speedily recognised in his new pupil that love for chemistry which afterwards created betwixt them a close friendship. By his industry and talent the young student soon gained the admiration of all his fellow-pupils, for whose emulation he supplied an example of indefatigable application. Having remained two years in Giessen, gain ing golden opinions, Sheridan Muspratt resolved to test his strength, and soon published a paper upon the sulphites. This appeared in Liebig and Wohler's Annalen, was copied into all the scientific annals, and won.him his degree of Doctor of Philosophy, a title never before graiated to a man so young. Until the appearance of this treatise little had been known about its subject, though it had been discussed by many chemists of eminence. After this followed a paper on the Pretended Formation of Valerianic Acid from Indigo,' which was read before the British Association at York. At this period he, in conjuction with Professor Hofmann, discovered toluidine and nitraniline, two organic bases of the utmost importance. In 1854 Dr. Muspratt left Giessen, having while there edited Plattner's Treatise on the Blowpipe; and in the two years following visited various parts of Germany, in order to become personally acquainted with her distinguished men. In 1847 he again visited Giessen, and spent four months in its laboratory, discovering several remarkable bodies produced from the sulphocyanide of othyle and meth*. A paper en this subject was printed in Liebig's Annalen, as well as in the Chemical Society's Transactions. In 1848 he gave a paper on the selenites. In 1849 he proved the existence of car bonate of alumina; and also published some very inte resting remarks in Liebig's Annalen on the blowpipe, re actions of strontia and baryta. In 1851 one of his greatest efforts appeared—his paper on carmufellic acid, a new acid from cloves. This treatise has been published in the new Proceedings of the Royal Society, and in the Philosophical Magazine. But the most important act hitherto in his life has been the foundation of a College of Chemistry in Liver pool. In 1854, a Glasgow publisher engaged Dr. Muspratt to write a Dictionary of Chemistry, which is now publish ing.; the sale of it in England and America exceeds 60,000 copies monthly, and in Germany and France it has met with a like success. . On his return from Giessen, in 1848, Dr. Muspratt married Miss Susan Cushman, who is also well known to fame by her admirable delineation of " Juliet." Since the above appeared more honours have been awarded to him ; th 6 oldest university in America con • ferring on him the title of Docter in Medicine, in proof of their admiration of his high professional attainments.— Mining Journal.

He defended not only the principle of the bill, but also the course pursued by the Government. They could not accede THIS DAYS . MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Coastwise, during the present week; a fair average sup ply of. English wheat-3,470 quarters—has been reported. Fresh-up, to <lay, by land-carriage the receipts were small, and the show of samples was rather limited. Good and tine qualities were in fair request at Monday's currency ; but other kinds moved off slowly, at late rates. The show of foreign wheat was seasonably large. All descriptions were rather inactive, but no change took place in value. Fine barley realised very full prices, but grinding and dis tilling sorts were heavy, and the turn cheaper. There was a slow sale for malt at barely late rates. Oats sold on former terms. Both beans and peas com manded extreme rates, but the transactions in flour were very moderate. • ARRIVALS THIS REEK.
