Before Mr. LowE's plan in regard to the new Law Courts shall have been formally brought under the consideration of the House of Commons in the form of a Bill, as promised to be done, if possible prior to Whitsuntide, by the Chief Commissioner of Public Works, it will be worth while considering, again, poi n t bl nk what are especially referred to as its distinctive attractions by the projector of it himself, namely, th e right hon, gentleman the Chancellor of the Exche quer. First and foretnost, this third plan is particu larly commended to the national regard because of its being, of all three plan, themost economical. Secondly --and this is the main merit claimed for it, and the peculiar reason for its being so economical as com pared with the Carey -street Site, and the grand Site on the Thames Embankment so enthusiastically eulogised by Sir CHARLES TREVELYAN—it is to have no frontage in the Strand ! It is to have simply one front, and not two fronts, North and South, as with each of the other two schemes for a Palace of Jus tice ! Hence the economy. Hence the simplicity of the projected new arrangement. Hid away behind Howard-street, at the back of the Strand, there will be no necessity whatever, according to Mr. Lo E's ar- gument, for anything like architectural oroamentation or artistic display. Both the other plans front openly to the Strand. In the instance of the Carey -street plan, the southern facide of the vast structure will be on the north side of the eastern extremity of thc StiaLd, between St. Clement Danes and Temple bar, or rather betweea . S.. Clement Danes and Chancery-lane—seeing that Temple-bar will, in all likelihood, be removed from its present position to be re-erected opposite the southern extremity of Chancery-lane, as one oC the entrances to the TIM SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING-, .APRIL 29, 1869. Temple. --Again, in reu.ect t..) the—grand original suggestion of a Palace of Justice on the vast open space now cleared to view, for the most part, to the north of the Thames Embankment, between Somerset House and the Temple—the Strand Frontage along the whole of its northern façade was, and indeed still is, loudly in sisted upon as one of its conspicuous advantages. There cannot be two opinions, in fact, as to this—that the third plan, Mr. LowE's plan, the plan without any Strand fron tage at all, is a shirking of an expense and a shirking of a difficulty. It is hiding away the New Law Courts on one side, at least, in a back neigh bourhood. It is sacrificing beauty, convenience, air, li ht, architectural effect, everything, to economical considerations. Now, that, we take it, is hardly be fitting the dignity of the country, the majesty of the laws, the power of England, the wealth of Lon Jon. Economy is all very well, bat —meanness ? And meanness in a matter of such importance as this of a new resting place for the administration of the Laws of England ? Whatever edifice shall be raised to this end, will be, not for to-morrow, not for next year, not for the residue of the nineteenth century, it will be for uncounted years, it will be for posterity. And, knowing this, to go and hide the new building away in a little back street running parallel with the Strand—a street so obscure that on mention ing it the Chancellor of the Exchequer had to explain to an audience of Londoners, meaning, to the mem bers of the House of Commons, only the other even ing, that " there is a Street called Howard-street," and that there it is, in "a Street called Howard street," he proposed that the New Law Courts should be erected—does appear to us nothing less than paltry, does appear to us a mere grasping at economy, and a mere snatching at a manifest evasion of a difficulty, quite unworthy of the grandeur, power, pride, pomp, and wealth of the Britkh Government. We are told now that not only must the Law Courts be hid away iu a back street, but that it is idle to talk of them any longer as a Palace of Justice. A Palace ! We want no more Palaces, is Mr. LowE's argument. We want simply a decent building in which to find a home for some—not for all—of the Courts of Law. A Concentration of the Law Courts, at one time talked of, we are assured is quite as much of an extravagance to dream of, as it is an extravagance to dream of their ever being built up into a Palace of Justice. It yet remains to be seen whether the House of Commons is so infatuated by this hungering and thirsting after economy that they will be contented to lop down the programme so very deplorably. We are in hopes that the Commons of Ettg'and will decide against a b tck street as the fit ing locality for the New Law Courts. We are in hopes that, after all, the New Law Courts, wherever they may be eventually erected, will be not unworthy of being designated a Palace of Justice. We are in Lopes that, notwithstanding all Mr. LOWE'S rough and ready arguments in the way of economy, that the Palace of Justice (that is to be) will look northwards on the Strand and south wards on the river—will be worthy of its juxta position to Sumersct House—will be worthy of rising to view within sight of St. Paul's Cathedral in the East and of the houses of Parliament in the West —will be worthy at once of the Thames itself and of the Thames Embankment. THERE have been bigger failures than that of BARNED'S Banking Company, but none more dis graceful. This company closed its doors on April 18, 1866, just nine months after they were first opened. Considering that the bank had a nominal capital of two millions, this was rather rapid work, even in.that famous year of failures and frauds. But Liverpool men are wiser now than they were then, and the wonder is not that the bank lasted only nine months, but that it Listed nine weeks. The directors were nine in number : tLrec of them were Mon.Eys, and they are the chief heroes in that most scandalous story which has just been published by the gentlemen who were appointed to watch over the interests of the unfortunate creditors. This report is certainly one of the most extraordinary documents ever published, and by the side of it certain other notable cases now before the law courts appear dull and uninteresting. The original bank of I. RUINED and. Co. became converted into a limited liability company just about the time that OVERF.ND, GURNEY, and Co. underwent the same transformation. The transfer was effected chiefly by Mr. L. B. MOZLEY and his uncle, who were, so to speak, the bank itself, and were considered of sufficient commercial standing to guarantee to the shareholders of the company the issets of the old business, which were stated to be about two millions stealing. The capital of the reconstituted bank was divided into 40,000 shares of £5O each. The whole of them were, in a fashion, allotted, and, with one or two trifling exceptions, the amount of £lO per share was registered as paid. Of these shares, however, only about 14,000 were held by bond fide shareholders. The remaining 20,000 stood in the names of adventurers, speculators, and clerks without means or resources. The latter had lent themselves to the Messrs. MOZLEY to assist in floating the bank, and the Messrs. MozLEY in return paid up the £lO call on these nominee shares with money drawn from the banking company. Of these shares there are 16,500, which should have produced on calls £600,000, which have produced £4,000 ; and 12,800 shares which should have pro duced £492,000, but which have produced nothing. Under these circumstances, it is not surprising that " about a year after the stoppage the money of the creditors seemed gradually vanishing," and that they determined to form an association to watch over their interests. The truth is that Liverpool morality is of a very peculiar character. It thrives best under the most unfavourable circumstances ; it thrives worst under the most favourable. Those of the unlucky shareholders who have made the greatest efforts to meet the calls are small tradesmen and other persons, who have been sorely pinched in making up their contribution of £19,500. " The higher we have gone," say the three gentlemen appointed by the Shareholders' Association, " the less inclination we have found to prove that honour and high position are inseparable qualities." It is when the highest point of all is reached that this separableness is most apparent. It is when we come to the directors that, with two exceptions, we find the greatest reluctance to meet their obliga tions. Two of them have discharged their liability to the estate; the others have not done so; and of the MOZLEY family the three examiners say, " They are, to all appearance, the only persons who have not suffered in their style of living, or in their peace of mind by the disastrous result to the affairs of the company." Why should they have suffered ? For them. the nine _months' swi n dl e h as b een a mos t pro fitable transaction. Let us see what they put into the bank and what they have drawn out of it. Mr. CHARLES MOZL EY i s t h e millionaire of the lot, he was act ua ll y worth £23,000, which is the amount that is forthcoming to meet liabilities of £230 804. Clearly Mr Cu.kriLEs Mozi.liv will h ence f or th be able to sly with the Pharisee that he gives tithe of all that he posesses. This is more than his nephews can say. Mr. C. F. MOZLE Y owes the bank for calls and other liabilities £19,040. To meet this liability he holds shares in four companies, worth together £OB, and furniture worth £44 17s. There is also " an unsound horse," sold at TATTER s.tr.r.'s for £9 es. ; but as the bill for the keep of this noble charger amounts to £2O, the steed can hardly be set down as an asset. Mr. C. F. Moz.u - rx's deficiency is, therefore, £19,507. Mr. L. B. MOZLEY has outshone his relatives. He owes on calls £214,200, lie has overdrawn his account „ - . 1 .5,2-15, and he has other liabilities amounting to £118,282 altogether his liabilities are 140,725.- His assets are sh - ate:s in the Liverpool Atheneum, worth £lO ; twenty shares in a theatre company, Worth nothing ; 150 Empire Marine Insurance shares, worth an equal amount; and a share in a music saloon, worth £00; together £7O, leaving a deficiency of £340,658. These gentle men, having done so well for themselves, deserved the confidence of the public. But public confidence in these commercial days means money, and so on the afternoon of the day on which the bank stopped with liabilities £2,000,000, these three directors paid themselves £l,OOO for a quarter's service in the management of the bank. They had, in fact, managed it so well, that the assets, which it was calculated would produce £850,000, have after just three years yielded £lOO,OOO. Next to the astounding impudence of the MozLEYs, that which astonishes us most is the credulity of the Liverpudlians. here were a gentleman worth £132 17s. and an unsound horse, and another gentleman, worth £7O in theatre and music hall shares, entrusted with two millions of money. Nor does our surprise end here. Having thus deceived and plundered their fellow townsmen, we might have expected that these persons would have been prosecuted with the utmost rigour of the law. On the contrary, everything has been made pleasant for them. Instead of winding up the company in the Bankruptcy Court, where unpleasant disclosures would have been made, the bank has been wound up in Chancery, to the great advantage of the directors, and to the great loss of the creditors and the share holders. The three inspectors point out that Messrs. MOZLEY declared that the bank had earned a profit of £35,880 exclusive of interest and commission on current accounts, and sixteen days afterwards the bank closed. What has become of this amount ? The inspectors seem to think that if the question is put in another place than that of the Court of Chancery, an answer satisfactory to the creditors and the shareholders may be obtained. It may not be quite so satisfactory to Messrs. MOZLEY. THE remarkably unanimous character of the de bate on Sir H. SELWIN-IBBETSON'S Beerhouses Bill is only one of amongst many signs of the change which has come over the spirit of the House of Commons. The progress of the last three years has at least had the effect of convert ing many standard points of doctrine into obsolete prejudices. Some clauses of what was once the Liberal creed have fallen far behind the regene rated Tory programme. Amongst these may be reckoned the old antipathy to discussion, not to speak of legislation, on Tory licenses, landlords, and liquor. On no subject, if we except the game laws, did the old school wax so furious. All attempts to interfere legislatively with the greatest evil of the age was met with the stereotyped assertion that Englishmen were getting more and more sober, but that if they were not, it was impossible to make them sober by Act of Parliament. For years the opponents of national encouragement to drunkenness were met by these respectably ancient pleas, and by the " brute force " of a majority which, having learned the virtue of beer on polling-day, did not like the flow of the barrel to be restricted. But all this is changed. We hear less of the impossibility of making men sober by Act of Paliament. It is admitted that British drunkenness is not quite satisfactory. Mr. HENLEY cannot doubt that beerhouse legislation has failed, and if he is not hopeful of improving the existing state of things, he is not disposed to inter fere with those who wish to try. Mr. BRUCE finds it impossible to deny that there are special evils attendant upon beerhouses, and promises that the whole subject of licensing shall be taken into consideration. 11Ieanwhile Sir H. SELWYN IBBETSON'S bill is allowed to pass without opposi tion. The measure is by no means such as to finally satisfy the advocates of temperance, but it is a decided step in the right direction ; and its acceptance by an assembly which has hitherto resisted every reform of the kind is not without significance. The object of the bill is to transfer the power of granting beerhouse licenses front the excise officers to the magistrates. Formerly, the latter, who were in a position to make all inquiries both as to the requirements of the locality and the character of the would-be li quor ven d or, had complete jurisdiction in the matter of licensing. But since 1830 beerhouse licenses have been granted by the revenue officers, who are not only unable to institute any inquiry, but have some sort of interest in granting as many licenses as possible. All that is required of the applicant is a residential qualification, and a certificate of character from six householders. This sage measure really esta blished the principle that anybody might sell beer with out restriction. The residence proviso is palpably worthless, and the testimony of six householders is so slight a check that a thief has been known to com mence dispensinghis adulterated abominations imme prison. S uc h a w h o l esa l e diately after leaving letting loose of unprincipled liquor vendors has been attended with the worst results. The beer sold is bad ; though it is evident that if people will drink, they ought, at least, not to be poisoned. Drunkenness has increased since the passing of the Act. In this respect we must judge, not by later statistics, but by the years immediately preceding and following the passing of the Act. And so great was the increase of drunkenness after 1830, that even the House of Commons of that period thought the sub ject worth inquiry. That the beerhouses are nests of immorality is a fact which cannot be set aside by the assertion that public-houses are as bad, or worse. The bill which passed the second reading on Tuesday deals very tenderly indeed with the question. It provides ample facility for the granting of licenses for the sale of beer not to be drunk on the premises, but licenses for drinking houses will be placed on the same footing as public-houses. In order to secure this distinction increased powers of conviction are provided. As a whole, the measure is only a partial attack upon the present licensing system, but it is a beginning. And so difficult is reform in this direc tion that thirty years of effort have been necessary to secure even this slight and obvious change. In 1839 Lord BROUGHAM brought in a bill to stop this broadcast distribution of bad liquor. In 1869 these endeavours have been successful. 4 f- - ra Dirt HER MAJESTY. OSBORNE, April 28.

At a late hour last night Colonel Warren and Captain Costelloe, the released Fenians, were met at a public supper by their political friends. The mayor was loud in his denunciation of England, declaring his readiness, if he were able, to drive every Englishman out of Ireland. The streets were paraded during the night by large mobs with blazing tar barrels and bands of music. The mayor, in the course of one of Ma speeches at the Fenian banquet, said there was at this moment in the country a young prince of the English nation. [A voice: "He be —" (applause.] The Mayor continued—When that noble Irisliman O'Farrell, fired at the Prince in Australia (Kheen) he was imbued with as noble and patriotic feelings as Larkin, Allen, and O'Brien were (Vociferous cheffng, and cries of "He was.") He believed that O'Farrell would be as highly thought of as any of the men who had sacrificed their lives for Ireland. (Deafening shouts of "Pravo.") They all saw how a noble Pole had fired at the Emperor of Russia because he thought that the Emperor was trampling upon the liberties of the people. (Cheers.) Well, O'Farrell probably was actuated by the same noble impulses when he fired at the Prince. (Cheers.) O'Farrell was as as noble an Irishman as the Pole, and as true to his country, for each was impelled by the same sentiments to do what they did. Warren and Costello sail to-dav for New York." OLY 1111 3 1 C THEA 7 RE. The entertainments at this theatre have been made particularly attractive by the introduction of the charming little drama, " One Touch of Nature," into the bill. The character of Triplet in " Masks and Faces" is perhaps one of the finest of all Mr. Webster's characters, and after it comes Mr. William Penn Holder in the petite drama first-mentioned. The representation of this character last evening by Mr. Webster was touchingly pathetic, and, as of oil, he held the feelings of the entire audience at his command during the performance. As a speci men of dramatic art the part ranks in the very highest order, and Mr. Webster is the only actor on the stage who can truly pourtray the grief at the supposed !,oss, and the excessive joy at the discovery that the succes4.ful actress, who holds managers at her command, is the daughter of the humble prompterand copyist, William Penn Holder. Iheperform,nce elicited the most enthusiastic ap plause, and gave the greatest satisfaction to a very large and brilliant audience. TRADE ACCOUNT& The trade accounts of Belgium, Hollanii, and the • United States have just been laid before Parliament. The Belgian accounts skew increase on the total value of the enumerated imports and exports in the month of January 1869 of 11 and 16 per cent, respec tively as compared with, those of January 1868. Those connected with this country exhibit some fluctuations. In many instances, such as coal, raw cotton, and sonic kinds of metal, the value of the imports from the 'United Kingdom into Belgium increased largely from 1867 to 1863 and fell again in the present year. Fish shews us some curious changes. Her rings, which were largely imported in 1;;6 ;, only amounted to 439 kilogs. in - this year. Flax in 1867 was imported to the value of 73,661 kilogs., in 1868 it fell to 201, and in 1869 it rose again to 1,057.. Iron of most kinds largely increased in. value, as have also machines and machinery. Hops, w hi c h i n 1867 were 29,265 kilogs., were in 1868 only 532, and in 1869 absolutely nothing. Turning to the exports, we find the export of bark to this country is much larger than last year, though less than the year before. Corn again is more largely exported, and flourshews a remarkable increase from 57,468 to 656,603. Window glass has greatly increased. The export of .wrought-iron to Great Britain has risen from 858 to 84,660 kilogs.—a significant fact for our workmen. In Holland the import of our coals has more than doubled, while undressed hides have also added to the increase. In metals and machinery there are likewise a perceptible advance, and the English cotton imports once more assume a prominent place. It is gratifying to find the value of these steadily rising during the last three years. The value of the metals exported to the United Kingdom from Holland has largely increased, especially in raw tin, unwrought lead, &c. 'f he exports of butter and cheese have risen ma terially in valise. The account for the 'United States compare the seven months ending 31st July in 1868 and 1867, but do not divide the exports and imports tinder different national beads. Most if the items exhihit a marked decrease in value on the value of last year, oils, coal, and petroleum forming a notable exception. The total value of imports, including bullion and specie, were, in 1367, $237,524,089, and in 180, $229,-149,253. The exports in the same periods were respectively $307,668„503 and $280,497,767.

EARLY CLOSING ASSOCIATION. —On Wednesday night the general annual meeting was 'held at Radley's Hotel, New Bridge-street, Thad:friars, under the chair manship of Mr. William Itivington. Mr. Henry Walker, the secretary, gave an outline of the contents of the report, which shewed that, with one exception, the two o'clock closing on Saturday had been maintained, and was extending in the West-end of London, while other shops had adopted foui• o'clock instead of six, and five o'clock instead of eight. The guide brought out to assist this part of the operations had proved a great success, and the ladies' committee were still indefatigable in their labours. In the provinces the half. holiday was given on Wednesday or Thursday, as Saturday war usually the market day. General early closing has obtained numerous additional adherents both in Londor and the country, especially' amongst diapers, hatters and wholesale warehousemen. In Bristol, Ri c k. mond, Colchester, Leicester, and fifteen other places the canvass had been highly successful ; and from communications to hand it appeared that effort, in the same direction were being made in the colonies notably Australia, whence several applications had beer received for the illuminated placards and publications o' the association. More recently an Affiliated Society hac been formed in Paris, and its promoters were in corre spondtnce with the secretaries, their letters describing th, enthusiasm with which the Parisian shopmen had enterec into the spirit of the movement. Financially the associa tion continued to progress, and the receipts, amountinc , tr £1,098 13s. 11d., enabled the treasurer to announce a smal balance in favour of the general account, and a some larger one as standing to the credit of the Saturday half-holiday fund. The report was unanimously adopter on the motion of Mr. T. Burt, th e c h a i rman of th board, who made a warm appeal for more pecuniary assistance. TYPHUS IN BRAMHAM COLLEGE. Bramlian College for Dissenters, near, Tadcaster, not far from Leeds is suffering seriously from the ravages of fever. Number of the pupils are " down" from the disease. The cause a this sickness in so healthily situated and well-conducted ai establishment is said to be " the accidental percolation o deleterious matter" through the earth into the well fron whence water was drawn for drinking purposes in th allege. There are about 100 pupils belonging to th college, of whom no fewer than forty have suffered from fever. ty4clfour have died, The college is at present closed, - - ---- • Dl. RUSaLL IN THE CRIMEA. Dr. Russell, whose celebrated letters to the Times on he Crimean war gave Lim a name and established his ame, writes home an interesting account of his second sisit to the scene of his former privations, trials, and riumphs. His description is of the visit of the Prince .nd Princess of Wales to the place, but the portions which are most remarkable are those in which the doctor ecalls the memories of the spots now so famous. Speaking sf his sighting of Sebastopol from the ship Euxine, in which he royal party sailed np the Black Sea, the writer says:— 'To some of us the exclamation, There-is Sebastopol !' aused a strange emotion. There it was, indeed—the dim ontour of Fort Constantine, dancing in the mirage far way, the well-known outlines of the landscape of the gateau seamed with the French trenches near at hand, and rowned by the ridges of the Flagstaff Bastion, the Redan, he Malakhof, the Mamelon, Cathcart's-hill, Kantiesh, ,nd Kazatch, once black with masts and hulls, now eft to the wild duck and the seagull —not a trace of the may town to which war gave a vigorous commerce which swished like the pall of white smoke that once hung ver the city beyond. As we opened the entrance to the oadstead, and well-remembered apots came to view, here came a feeling too deep for m orls. The officers n the bridge had still the same old chart to guide hem'which served our fleet in 1854. There is a coarse, sut very accurate, engraving of the appearance of the ntrance, as seen from the sea, to direct the course of easels ; but on the bluffs or projecting points where were Fort Nicholas, Fort Alexander, and Fort Paul presenting heir casemated fronts, there is now nothing but some scat ered blocks of stone. The eye eagerly sought out through he glass the familiar landmarks, and-found them ; but there vere some objects which came in sight that were new to us. )n the north side there is the Memorial Chapel which the . Acing care of the Emperor has erected, and there is also the North Cemetery on the bill side, behind Fort Cathe ine, with its array of charnel -houses in white stone and ,he monument to Prince Gortschakoff. On the south ;idis there is a conspicuous monument on the Malakhof, aid in front of the ruined pile of barrack and hospital, Lehind the Reelan, towers a colossal statue. l'he first effect of Set astopol in its present state (the lector goes on to say) to new comers is one of surprise. L'hey say the place is much smaller than they expected. :ndeed, it is difficult to understand, as it now op sears, how the genius of the engineer and the :watery of an arn,y could have cast a wall so strung around those ruined heaps that the legions and fleets of two great .Powers and two potent auxi larks were held at hay for eleven long months and nore. The forts on the north side are jest as they were when the Allies evacuated the Crimea. As we ran past Fort Constantine there were just three men on the sarapet, and about eight or ten on the rock below. There was no flagstaff, and, as far as I could make out, no gun as any casemate. Nowhere, indeed, could we see the sign sf a Russian flag. The character of a military port or station has been quite abandoned." The Ti»zes correspondent goes on to give his impressions sf the Memorial Chapel, the great cemetery, and the places around them. He recalls deeds of valour, as he goes from aoint to point; and asks how this or that was done. Then .se reminds us of the Alma. " The Prince, disaiousiting, 3xamined the position with interest, and inspected ;he names on the memorial stone, and Captain Shariatine pointed out to his Royal Bigh. ;less the position of the Russian corps, and related how he and his army on the heights saw the Allies advancing in megniiicent array, but very slowly as it seemed, from their bivouac on the A lion, and how his Marines, who did out fire a shut, and were in the rear of the .:2,aulcinent, nevertheless h..st nearly fifty men from . the long ranging rifle bullets of the British regiments. The field is unchanged : every eiarasure cut in the 4)ms/one/a can be traced, and the traverses can be counted. he bridge over the river is very much as it was, and in September next it is probahle there will be vineyards full uf grapes, - as before - but of those who clambered up that Len tiy toureeruus slope, and who joined in the wild ery of ictos y and in the cheers which rose from the bridge Li yond as the Gmads threw up their bearskins around Lord Pagla.n, Low many have gone to join their comrades who thou were 'stretched lifeless below them?

We saw where Gortschakoti's tent stood—where Menschikotr's headquarters were—and - then, mounting once more, left the Princess and Mrs. Grey, %% ho had come up in a pony carriage, and, crossing over the bridge and by the ford, rode rapidly through Bouiborik, saw where the Seccnd Division was divided by the flames, where thi g lan crnssed with llimitt r e l'r:ix,e 2capo eon's division folded ti,e str :on :old was held in cheek I y ,lie :Wove lii. iii, and looked away to the tow:ink the f,r‘t tee n;untli of the river, Len e all the crag-like and preeP, piton.; i•a•;I:s I% here Ilos iuct., covcruil n; fix tire of the heat, pa scd his corps across, :Ind, like ants, and sp.kirg 1111 guns, tol•ne,l the The visit , to the lied of Seln:slopol is also full of interett the Crow's Nest l' , att,•ry, the Flag..t:i.:l Bostien, the Acul: Itatteiy. and the lltdan e ca, li notlet d. pi, e slate of tie c lottery on Cathcart-Lill is the siil juct of a C% - i i."

"that if st, nor taken to pre:.erve this cenietery from decay and from wanton dilapidation, it, in common with every ni0n , ..1- went and memorial in th e Crimea, will become a national disgrace--a sort of moral IZedan. The fine slab and over poor Newman, who fell at In k-ern - lam has just been chipped and broken at the base. The star on the Coldsti Cam Moroun:nt has been smashed into fragments, other stones are chipped and split, weeds and rank grass are growing up all over the stones. What a s;:andal this is we could appreciate to some dtvee after our visit to the IZussian Cemetery ; but it was not until we bad seen the French . that we quite understood its eoormity. The Ensigns are as anxious as we ought to be on the subject. 'I hey Lave done all they could, and inure than could have been expected.

The 3ensible and practicable, as well as economical plan would be to carefully collect all the remains which now lie broad. cast over the land, preserving the identity as far as possible, convey away all memorial stones with them, and then place them all in some eligible spot, none as it appears So me, being more suitable than Cathcart's bill itself, or the Traktir Farm, in which the English headquarters' House stands. Pray turn public attention to this. Surely no British Parliament would grudge the money needed to save the national reputation." The field of Balaklava much interested all the party who visited it. "It is still easy to mark the site of the Light Division and of the Second Division Camps, but it is not possible to indicate very particularly, or specially, the position of individual huts. We passed through the lines of the old camp or cantonment from the Fourth Division to the extreme right, but there was no time to visit the Third Division or the Naval Brigade; and, indeed, but for lines of stones here and there and the old lines between tents and huts, still marked out by rude pavement, there was little to distinguish the several localities of the ground once so full of We and teeming with men.

Inkerman, the Alalakoff, and the Manselon, are also enthusiastically described. A slightly favourable "hange has taken place in the health of the Bishop of Salisbury. TRIAL OF 13 LC lAN RIOT EI:S. —Twenty-two prisoners have just been tried at Mons for the share whkh they had taken in the disturbances in the Borinake.

The new Bishop of London, Dr. Jackson, has issued an appeal to the clergy and laity of the diocese, urging upon them the Importance of continued effot ts to sustain the operations of the Bishop of London's Fund, instituted by his prede cessor. lie observes: " There Is no failure in the resources to which we may look. The wealth of our country multi plies yet faster than its people. Christian benevolence chews, thank God, no signs of flagging, The Bishoi of London's Fund has as yet been supported by few only out of the many who certainly have the means, and pro bably have the will, to help. Its objects and effects have to be pressed on the notice and conscience of each family of every parish and district, and every class of society should have the opportunity of contributing its proporti( n to the work." _ SUPPRESSION ;V OF - 7 - iIE ' T , DE Pl POD SPEC." ~ _ .~ BOW-STREET.—THIS DAY. To-day the managers of the "Deptford Spec," Alexander Leishman, the proprietor, 10, Florence cottages, Deptford ; Alex. Walker, 12, Florence cottages; Charles Clayton, stationer, Clarence place, Deptford; William Daniels, Pluaistead road ; Thomas Stephen Morris, dairyman, 25, Central-street, St. Luke's, surrendered t o their bail. Mr. Poland appeared on the part of the Tregurl to prosecute, and M r . S ergeant Sl e i g h d e f cn ded the defendants. The charge against them, it will be recollected, was illegally keeping and carrying on a lottery on horse racing. The evidence to-day was principally confirn3ate r f of that given by Insi ector Clark, which was pub lished in extenso in The ..Sais when the ddcndano were first examined at Bow-street last Friday week. Sergeant Sunerway to-day gave his evidence. whi ch fully corroborated in every particular that given by inspector Clark and Sergeant Palmer, the three officers, being those to whose care the carrying out of the warrant of th e c hi e f mag i strate was confide' by the authorities at Scotland-yard. Inspector Clarke produced a list of the tickets, &c., seized at the houses of three of the defendantit which were as follows : At Leishman's, Florence Cottages—Nation al Steeplechase, 700 tickets ; Lincolnshire Handicap/ 200 ; Northamptonshire Stakes, 300 ; City and Su' burban, 700 ; Cesarewitch, 500 ; Newmarket Han' dicap, 4,100; Tvw Thousand Guineas, 7,800 Goodwood Stakes, 1,700 ; var;ous, 2,000 ; New Year's distribution of money prizes, 1,500 ; Pri ze tickets, 1,000; result sheets, GOO ; small drag tickets, 2,000; four 'copies of "Ruff's Guide to th e Turf," &c. At Clayton's, 6, Clarence-place —Chester Curs 60,000 tickets ; Derby, 76,000 ; Two Thousand Guineas, 16,500; and small draw tickets, 185,000.

Two Thousand Guineas, 200 ; City and Suburban' 200 ; Chester Cup, 580. " Carshalton Spec."—Tw o Thousand Guineas, 300. Mr. Poland said that would be the case agains t the defendants, and he had therefore to apply for the committal of the whole of them for trial. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh said he should reserve for the trial all observations on the law and the facts connected with the case, but he was anxious to vindicate the defendants from any imputation that they had acted otherwise than with scrupulous fairness and honesty towards the subscribers• With reference to the ticket the payment of which had been refused, the reason was that the ink wain had obliterated the private mark, known only to the defendants, by whiAl they PO: tected themselves against the substitution of forged or fraudulent tickets. The defendants, h e bad to inforra the magistrates, were most respectable per' eons—they had carried on these lotteries with Per" feet honesty for seven years without the least inter ference on the part of the Government, and had every reason to believe that they were being tacitly sanctioned by the authorities, and now they were selected fro:n hundreds of others for the pur pose of testing the law. Whether they bad in" fringed the law of the land would be argued before a higher court ; and if it was decided against them they would at once desist and not attempt to carry on the so-called lotteries if they were illegal. They had already shown this disposition by advertising a notice to their agents to re turn all the money received for tickets. Wi th regard to the power of the supreme court to impos e a punishment of two years' imprisonment, he sup posed Mr. Poland only mentioned it to show what the law was, and not possibly have drean.ed of ar plying these observations to the present case. Sir T. Henry said he should accept a renewal of the same bail for the appearance of the defeudaetS at the Old Bailey. The renewal of the bail was then fortnaly corn" pleted, arid the defendants left the court, which+ during the proceedings, was crowded to excess. POLICE .INTELLIGENCE.—Mis Day. MARLBOROUGH-ST RE ET. ORGANIZED STREET FIGHTS.—Two lads, named Joh ° Stapleton and John Murphy were charged before gr. Ki:ox with throwing missiles in Berwick-street. Alfred Runt, 166 CI, said that between 7 and S o 'c'o!k yesterday evening he was in Berwick-street, when be 59 ' W five or six lads—the prisoners being amongst them -- at the corner of Berwick-street. One of the ladg got a largo piece of clay and divided it arnong °t the others. The lads all went up Berwick street and set to throwing pieces of clay at th e passers along the street. Ho went after the lads and suc ceeded in taking the two prisoners into custody. Ther e had been grea t comp l a i nts of street fights between la de going on in the neighbourhood, the lads assembling every night in Golden-square at the sound of a bugle. Inspector Morgan said that several of the inhabitant° had made complaints to him of the annoyance they re ceived from 'what he (the i nspec t or ) b el i eved to be sc io° fights, and on Monday last a lad was fined by Mr. Tyr - Whitt fur nearly knocking a little girl's eye out. Hunt said the lads were in the p rac ti ce o f carry i ng cane ° , with them, and sticking pieces of cl a y on th e en ds el them, and then flinging the clay through people's window s ' Mrs. Young, of Berwick street, said the lads were in tile habit of sitting on the railings of her house, and when spoken to they made use of very bad language, and if t he nuisance continued she will be obliged to leave her house. Mr. Knox said th e nu i sance must b e put a stop to, 3T3,_„ that the district cou ld no t b e ren d ered uninhabita bl e by such conduct as that of the prisoners. The prisone rs would have to pay 405., or a month each. THAMES.

Mr. Smith was passing along the Commercial-road last night at 8 o'clock and the prisoner made a snatch at his watch. Mr. Smith struck at the fellow with his stick and he fled. Joseph Marriott, 174 H, saw the prisoner with fiv e others of questionable character, and observed him 1113° the attempt to rob Mr Smith and then ran away.
