The inquiry into the charges made against Mr. R.

Mr. H. T. Cole, barrister, instructed by Mr. Humphreys, of Newgate-street, prosecuted ; and Mr. G. H. Lewis, of Ely-place, Holborn, defended. Mr. Targett was first called, and deposed that his father was a tenant of Lord Shaftesbmy's, and suffered a consi derable loss in sheep in the year Int Application was made to his lordship for a remission of rent then over o,w to assist them in their tribulation, which, accordini, an entry in the books, and from Lord Shaftesbury's own evi dence, his lordship had ordered. The witness swore that the defendant said that his lordship would not grant the remission, because the farm was held at so cheap a rate as not to justify it. Mvcrrvtoßearpov.

The witness was hardly clear in his replies to Mr. Lewis, in cross-examination, as to his recollection of the exact time when the application was made, although he was certain as to the loss of the sheep, which was in the year 1854. He did, however, distinctly aver that his father several times spoko to the defendant about the re mission, and that his father had expressed himself as con sidering it very cruel of his lordship not to assist them in the way they petitioned, considering the grievous calamity that had befallen them in the loss of their flock, the value of which was £7OO ; and he also bore it vividly in his mind from the fact that he constantly talked about the conduct of his landlord at market and elsewhere.

This C, iompany has been formed for LightingtheCity o mn Moscow with G as, under the powers of Concession,.iity,on granted, with exc l us i ve privileges by tho ucl pa 26th October, 1864, and rat ifi ed in the month of December last, by the Imperial Government. Moscow contains a population of about 500,000 persons. It is situated at the centre of the commerce of the country, with six railways converging within itswalls.lt aristo cracy, the winter residence of a la rge p or ti on of the Russia and the nature of its climate is such as to render the introduction of gas, both for lighting and warming pur- Poses, an object of primary importance to the inhabitants. The K rem li n ( which covers 250 acres, andincludes the Emperor's Palace, the Senate, the Arsenal, and Government t)f fices), the grcat ' Universities, and the Public Schools, will all have to be lighted by gas. Prom official statistics it appears that there are at present A14,.,11105e0w about 200 hotel.—mosa of them very spacious— `-',041 inn; restaurants, cafjs, cabarets, and wine -house; w here people pass the greater part of the night in winter ; upwards of 100 po li ce posts and stations ; 102 pr i nt i ng - - offices, exclusive of those belonging to the Government and the Municipality, 27 public baths, 15 civil and military hos pitals, and 27 Government asylums. The German, Eng ish, and Merchants' Clubs, and the Club do la Noblesse, each spend about £250 per month for lighting, and the Government pays annually £13,000 for the lighting of the Opera, Rouse and the Russian Theatre, and £12,000 for the barracks. In addition to the above-mentioned buildings, and alto gether irrespective of private hous es , th ere are 17,032 shops, 700 factori es and workshops of various descriptions, many of them. of groat magnitude, and one alone requiring 800 lights. Moscow has hitherto been dependent for artificial light upon portable gas, stearine candle; and petroleum oil. The costliness of these articles and other disadvantages con nected with the imperfect lighting thus obtained aro such as to render any competition with ordinary as . The Concessi on which has been securedtogthi imp s Co ossible mpany confers an exclusive privilege for 30 years • at the end of that period the works will either remain the ' property of the Company in perpetuity without special monopoly, or the Municipality may elect to purchase them at a sum lto the entire net profits of the previous ton years ; or equiva lentxted the Concession, with exclusive privileges for a further period of ten years. In this latter case, the works would revert to the City at the end of 40 years, unless fresh arrangements shall h ave b een made for continuing the business in the hands of the Company. A sinking fund will be provided to meet these contingencies. The Calaier des Cha rges a ll ows the Company to charge five ratersilve roubles (e quivalent at th e p resent exceptionally low if exchange to thi r t een shilling's, and to fift een shil lings and tenpence at the p ar o f exchange) per 1,000 cubic Paid bet of gas for all pr i vate lights. The street lights will be for at the price of 14.50 silver roubles per light, burn ing 10,000 cubic feet during the year, and at the same rate for any further quantity which may be required, with an I,ll,llMinating power which need not exceed 12 candles. All ,Lue lamps of the Government and Municipal buildings are ''') Pay the same price as the private lights, viz., five silver roubles per 1,000 cubic feet of gas. ~ A Provisional con t rac t has been entered int o w i th Smith, -"'ilight and Co.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, the Marquis of Tweeddale in the chair. The report, an abstract of which has appeared in 7lie Sun, was taken as read. The C lIAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re port, said it was unnecessary for him to remind them of the position of their lines in Oude and Rohilcund, the beautiful climate, the productive soil, and the dense population of 33,000,000. The proportion was 450 to the square mile, against 300 in England to the square mile No doubt, when the country was opened by railway communication, it would be followed by an increasing demand for conveyance to the markets and the seaports. The East Indian line would be the trunk line for conveying the pro duce of their district to Calcutta. The falling off in the Nulhatee line had arisen from the want of suffi cient rolling stock on the East Indian Railway to forward the goods to their destination. The stations of that great company were choked with traffic, so that the merchants of Moorshedabad preferred send ing goods by water instead of by railway, in consequence of the delay that often occurred in conveying it to its destination. He trusted that additional rolling stock would soon be provided, so as to enable the East India Com pany to carry the traffic in a satisfactory man ner. There were certain modifications required in the terms offered them by the Government for the construction of about 800 miles of railway in Oude and Rohilcund, and considerable delay had arisen, but they had every reason to expect that those neces sary modifications would be conceded. The directors had in the meantime confined their operations to the construction of the line from Cawnpore to Lucknow, 45 miles in length. The works were in a forward state, and it was expected by their chief engineer that it would be completed for traffic before the end of March, 1860. It was to that line he (the chairman) looked for a specimen of what their lines would be when constructed in that very populous and produe k. tive country. The officers of the company had re ported that the traffic on the common roads was very large, and did not cease night or day. The Capital received amounted to £215,000, and they had in hand £70,000 in cash raised on debentures, and £50,000 in the hands of the secretary and agents of the company, so that there would be no occa sion to make a call of £1 a share, as contemplated before the issue of the company's debentures. He believed that everything was going on well with re gard to their affairs in India. Mr. DENT, deputy-chairman, seconded the motion for the adoption of the report. He explained that the Nulhatec line was an experimental one, had been constructed upon a new road, and required a bridge across the river, to carry the line to Moorshedabad, and thus be in a position to divert the traffic from the river to the railway. Their lines were intended to accommodate the local traffic of productive dis tricts, and to form feeders to the main guaranteed lines of railway in India. The requisite land was to be given them free of cost, the company were to have a subsidy of £lOO per mile for twenty years, in lieu of roads for earthwork s an d b r id ges ; the companytations, was to m a k e t h e perma nent way, stations, and sidings, a n d pro vide adequate working stock. This they could do at a cost of about £4,000 a mile, but if the cost should even amount to £5,000 a mile, the traffic in those populous districts would amply repay them for the outlay. The permanent way and rolling stock would be sufficient to earn £3O or £4O p er m il e per k which, allowing 50 pe r cen t . f or wor ki ng w ex e p e eilses, would yield from 10 to 15 per cent. on the outlay. The Government wanted the company to deposit a large amount of caution money and the privilege of purchasing the railways at any time, which would be very unfair. The. directors considered that the railway and materials on the land would be sufficient security in lieu of caution money ; and that if the Government would be satis fied to purchase the lines at the end of 25 or 50 years, as in the case of the guaranteed railways, the company would agree to it. They would also, in consideration of the subsidy for the earthworks and bridges, give them up without charge, but would require to be paid for the construction of the permanent way, the stations, sidings, and workshops, and also for the rolling stock. Those were the chief points of difference between them and Captain C. C. Chesney, R.E., Professor of Military His tory, Royal Military College, Sandhurst, delivered a lecture yesterday at this institution. His Royal Highness the Duko of Cambridge was in the chair, and among those present were Sir E. Cust, Lord Hotham, Lord F. Powlett, Sir F. Nicolson, and Gen. Hamilton. The subject of the lecture was " Lessons to be derived from Gen. Sherman's campaigns." Capt. CHESNEY commenced by referring to a former lec ture delivered by him in which he had pointed out that the recognised principle of war must be applied to campaigns in America, as well as those in other countries, with due allowances for the differences of the country, soldiery, and means of communication. At that time, now two years since, the rush of curiosity at the breaking out of the civil war had died off, and the study of the campaigns of Fede rals and Confederates was unpopular, it being generally supposed that their proceedings were a mere chaos of san guinary and indecisive engagements. No one of judgment asserted this now, and the lecturer observed that it was a lesson of caution to the public generally, who it could not be denied, had been misled by a brilliant narrative of the defeat of Bull's Run into supposing that Federal soldiers could never be got to fight, forgetting that the early revo lutionary armies of France in 1792 and the Prussian sol diers in 1806 had been subject to the same kind of panics which Mr. Russell's pen so keenly described. Such panics only showed ill discipline and want of confidence in their officers on the part of the men so behaving, and proved nothing against the valour of a nation. The military les sons insisted on by the lecturer were two—first, the im portance of guarding your own communications ; and, se condly, the possibility of throwing this rule and others aside on the part of a man of genius (for such Capt. Ches ney declared General Sherman to be) under peculiar and favourable conditions. Little men, observed the lecturer, could not in these matters distinguish the difficult from the impossible ; it required a genius for war to do so. Capt. Chesney then described in detail the advance of General Sherman from Chattanooga to Atlanta from May 6 to July 18, 1865, and observed that the delay of Sherman's advance by the Confederate General (Johnston) was highly to the credit of that officer, when it was borne in mind that ho had been thwarted by two of his own lieutenants ; that his army was in number barely half of that of his adversary's, and that he had been ill-supported by President Davis. Capt. Chesney said that the actual rate of Sherman's ad vance was only one mile and a-half a-day, and which was gained by his continually using his superiority of numbers by stretching out one flank, and working it in intrench meats to threaten the rear of the Confederate General John ston. The lecturer spoke of the retreat of Johnston being in some parts of it a perfect masterpiece of successful cau tion, and he observed that President Davis probably yielded to a fatal impulse of private dislike in superseding Johnston in July by appointing General Hood to the command. The disastrous offensive movements before Atlanta by Hood were then briefly referred to by Capt. Chesney, who showed that Hood succeeded in maintaining the place a month after he had lost not less than 15,000 mon, simply by re turning to Johnston's defensive policy. The lecturer also gave a rapid sketch of the arrangements by which Sherman secured every mile of the railroad from Chattanooga south ward, and, guarding it with 30,000 men, marched round with a temporary supply of provisions to the south of Atlanta, and forced the Confederate General Hood, who was then too weak to take the field with any hope of suc cess, to quit the sought-for prize. Capt. Chesney then proceeded to speak of General Sherman's subsequent move ments, and said that, in carrying out his second design, Sherman found all the conditions for marching without any communications--namely, a fertile country teeming with provisions, tolerable roads, and a total absence of defenders. It was told how Hood was decoyed away by the hope of drawing Sherman back into Tennessee, and how Sherman manceuvred to encourage that hope, and waited till ho saw Hood well on the way to Nashville before making his plunge into Georgia. His march on Savannah was briefly noticed, and the ingenious manner in which he solved the problem of taking these coast cities was clearly pointed out. The lecturer commented freely on Hood's errors, and men tioned his disaster before Nashville as ono of many in stances in which in this war troops had been successfully attacked in their intren elle(' lines. Special explanations were given of the means used in these Georgian campaigns for roughly intrenching, and of the means employed for de stroying permanently the railroads. He said the Federals accomplished this last feat to perfection. Captain Chesney concluded a most interesting lecture by some striking re marks on the demoralising effect of the system of obtaining supplies for his army which was adopted by Gen. Sherman. He believed it too probable that the atrocities lately reported from the Carolinas wore not much, if in any degree, exag gerated; and he was afraid that great evils would ensue from the savage spirit excited in many of those who had suffered so terribly on both sides. He instanced the case of an officer of rank who was serving solely for the sake of re venge for the death of his only son. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE expressed the gratification ho felt at the interesting details which Captain Chesney had given of the campaigns of General Sherman ; at the same time he confessed his inability to follow with ease the course of these American campaigns ; they were so extended in their operations and so much disconnected with each other. One thing had struck him very forcibly while listening to the statements of Captain Chesney, and that was that the spade would form a great element in all future campaigns. It was quite clear that no movements could hereafter be made either in the way of attack or defence without in trenchments. This new element in warfare would, no doubt, be greatly increased by improvements in artillery and musketry. It had been said that cavalry had be come obsolete. He believed that to be a complete fallacy. He never could understand what was meant by saying that war could be carried on without cavalry. Nothing struck him more forcibly of the absolute necessity of cavalry than what had resulted from their use in the American campaigns. It might probably be justly said that the system of heavy cavalry was exploded, but with regard to light cavalry ho thought it must be apparent to every ono who had devoted his mind to the subject that it was an arm of the service which could never by any pos sibility be dispensed with. The late Shocking Murder at Hatcham. Yesterday, as the business of the Lambeth Police-court was about to close, a man, giving the name of Richard Havlin, was placed in the dock before the Hon. G. C. Norton, charged with the murder of John Davies. Inspector Frost, of the P division, said the prisoner had only been taken that afternoon, and therefore he had not a complete case to lay before the Court. Richard Newmanwas then examined, and said ho lived at No. 5, Britannia-terrace, Hatcham New Town. On Satur day, the 29th of last October, the deceased, a man named Bailey, the prisoner, his wife, and himself, were sitting down in the room having some beer, when a dispute arose about a glass of beer, Bailey protesting against the prisoner having any as he had not paid for it. The prisoner then struck Bailey, upon which the latter returned the blow and knocked the prisoner down. The prisoner then seized the poker and attempted to strike Bailey, but it was taken from him. Davies had not said one word or interfered, and he and Bailey shortly afterwards fell asleep. Tho prisoner then got hold of the poker again, and going to the two sleeping men, before it could be prevented, struck Davies and Bailey several times with it in a most violent manner. The poker was again taken from him, when it was found that Davies was most dreadfully injured about the head, from which the blood poured, while Bailey was also in jured. The prisoner then left the house, and Davies was obliged to be carried to bed and a surgeon sent for. He became somewhat better, and managed to go to work on the following Wednesday, but on the next day became quite insensible and was conveyed to Guy's Hospital, where ho expired. Previous to his removal the prisoner saw him, and said he would get some money to obtain him some com forts, and went out, but never returned. Thomas Reason, a private in the Ist battalion of the Grenadier Guards, said he was on duty that day at the magazine in Hyde Park, when he saw the prisoner. He called him by name and then told the sergeant that he was the man charged with the murder of Davies. The prisoner was then placed in the guard-room, and afterwards removed to Marlborough-street police-station. Tho witness stated that he knew the prisoner from his having been in the regiment some nine years before, and knowing the crime he had committed, he at once stepped him. Sergeant Fookes, of the same regiment, stated that when he took the prisoner he said he was not the man, and at the station ho remarked, "You will not got a medal for this, for you are too fast." The prisoner was removed to Peckham station, and from thence to this court, by Inspector Frost. The magistrate having duly cautioned the prisoner, asked him what he had to say to the very serious charge against him. The prisoner said—All I wish to say is, that I am very sorry Davies happened to be the man I hit, because we were like two brothers together. The man I meant to hit was the ether, why ptruck wrivife, and gave be a slight black Mr. Westcott, who had been the clerk assisting Mr. Waters with the accounts, gave evidence with regard to them. The books were again produced in court, and the different items referred to, and exhibited a most complex state of affairs—the defendant having, as alleged on his part, re ceived moneys, which he had paid to different accounts im properly, viz., the estate account, drainage account, domestic account, private account, &c. The cross-examination tended to show that the money, although received, had been carried to Lord Shaftesbury's credit at some time or other, and that the remission of the rent having been in 1854, and the payments by the last witness's father extending up to 1857, the amount so excused had been received in error and carried to Lord Shaftesbury's credit. The witness admitted that he never had any instructions from Waters with regard to any falsification of the accounts, although ho did state that on ono occasion, under directions from Waters, ho arranged with the manager of the County of Gloucester Bank to advance him some money on his private account condi tionally on his paying in the Parton tithes, which were then collecting, and which ought to have been paid into Lord Shaftesbury's private account under the arrangement that existed with regard to the collection. Mr. Targett being recalled did not remember that any transactions took place between Waters and his (witnesl's) father in the sale of agricultural produce; such as seeds, corn, and other matters. Westcott was also recalled, and stated that Waters had a dog cart, two 4-wheel vehicles, and that ho kept from three to five horses, of which two were hunters. At the conclusion of this evidence Mr. 11. T. Cole said that it was not the intention of the prosecution to proceed any further at present with the two charges against the de fendant. Mr. Bidwell, the accountant, who it had been in tended should be called, would have to give evidence on the accounts generally in support of the other charges that would be brought forward at a future day ; and he (Mr. Cole) had therefore thought it best that the entire of that gentleman's examination should be postponed till the evidence of the other witnesses had been taken on all the charges. Tho inquiry was then adjourned till Thursday, May 4, and on application of Mr. J. H. Lewis the recognisances of the defendant were enlarged. OFFICIAL REPORT. . THE LOSS OF THE LUZON STEAMER. We, the undersigned, having inquired into the loss of the late British steamer Luzon, Captain John M'Gowan, master, who holds a certificate of service, No, 40,371, as master, from the Board of Trade, Glasgow, and after a careful examination, find : That the said vessel left Amoy on the 20th Dec., 1864, bound to Manila, with a general Chinese cargo, 74 Chinese passengers, and one European ; and at about 1.30 on the morning of the 23d Dec., 1864, ran ashore, and was wrecked on a reef called Palaing on the Spanish chart of the Island of Luzon (on a large scale), which was produced in court. This reef is not so clearly defined on the chart with which the Luzon was navigated, viz., Chart Sea, sheet 4, dated 1859, as on the chart above mentioned ; and to this we attribute the loss of the vessel. Every precaution appears to have been taken by the captain in navigating the vessel, but we are of opinion that he was very imprudent in hugging a shore so closely on a dark night, of which he had not a chart on a large scale, and of which he had no previous experience ; and we are also of opinion, that it was great neglect on his part leaving the ship's log-books in Manila ; but as there is great credit due to him for his subsequent efforts to save the vessel, and as he produces such highly satisfac tory testimonials, we only admonish him to be more careful for the future. With reference to the conduct of Mr. A. Reid, the second mate, the Court are of opinion that, directly on hearing the noise on the port beam, supposed to be that of breakers, he should have at once put the helm hard a-port, without waiting to call the captain, he then being the officer in charge of the deck, one on whom much responsibility must always devolve. For this want of promp titude the Court are of opinion that Mr. Reid, the second mate, holding a certificate of competency from the Board of Trade, No. 28,038, is deserving of reprimand, and do reprimand him accordingly. With reference to the conduct of Mr. James M'ltaith, chief engineer, No. 3,184, viz., his refusal to attend the court as witness, when ordered, and on being brought up by a warrant, his contemptuous and in toxicated manner towards the Court—we are of opinion that it was highly reprehensible and should be severely punished; but, taking into considera tion his former good character, shown by various discharges, and his regret expressed in Court for such conduct, we do simply severely censure him, and refrain from recommending the Board of Trade to punisk him further. We regret not having been able to obtain the evidence of the chief mate and the remainder of the crew, who were left in Manila. It appears from the evidence given that this vessel, which was of the new composite class-- viz., of iron frame and wooden planking_had com partments, but which were not water-tight ; had they been so, which we belieye. is required by the Board of Trade, we are of opinion conclusion, w pro bably met with greater success. kindness showi ; e made to get the ship off the reef would have that the efforts i beg to put on record the great the Spanish authorities on the coast of L uzon to the shipwrecked crew.

The invigorating and purifying properties of these admirable pills soon produce a sanative revolution in the system. They are composed of rare balsams, and are so mild and innoxious that they May be taken by females of all ages. As a medicine for family use Holloway's pills are unequalled, because, power fully efficacious as they are in the banishment of disease, they act so gently on the stomach that they may be given with the utmost confidence and perfect safety to young Children. . sitting of the members of this institute took place yesterday morning in the rooms of the Society of arts, John-street, Adelphi ; Rear -Admi ral Belcher, C. 8., in the chair. Mr. Charles Lam port read a paper on the problem of a ship's form as presented to the practical builder. In treating in detail the features of his theory he particularly recommended to the builder the desirability of ren dering every motion subordinate to progress. He observed that many of the difficulties presented to vessels in sailing might, under truer principles of design, be made to conduce to their forward motion, and the force represented by the violent motion of pitching might be utilised or abused—might propel or retard the ship at the designer's will. This he took to be the test of a successfully designed ship for mercantile employment, that the model if dropped into water with a properly adjusted centre of gravity should shoot ahead. A discussion, in which Professor Rankine and Mr. Scott Russell took part, resulted from the introduction of the subject, and it was agreed that for the adaptability of ships as regards strength and speed in rough sea, it was ne cessary that the full body should be aloft, inasmuch as g rea t stability would ensue, that the centre of buoy ancy should be aft, and that the lon gitudinal and vertical systems of iron ship-building was brought under the notice of the meeting in a paper read by Mr. Scott Russell. Mr. Grandthem advocated the vertical system, which met with a strenuous opposition from Mr. Reed, who expressed it as his opinion that no act of Mr. Scott Russell de served more appreciation than his adoption of the longitudinal system in the building of the Great Eastern and other celebrated vessels which came from his yards. Mr. Scott Russell, in support of the longitudinal system, instanced a case in which two sets built on the different systems were ripped up by a rock, and in which the hole of the ship built on the ordinary system, with transverse frames, was much less in extent Oran the one made in the other ship, clearly showing that one was more liable to be sunk than the other. Mr. T. B. Daft read a paper on the construction and sheathing of iron ships, and amongst other advantages he promised a more rapid construction, a more uniform and secure mode of caulking, a hull perfectly free from fouling, and a stronger and a safer vessel. Papers were read on the composite system of shipbuilding, by Mr. A. M‘Laine ; on a proposed method of com bining wood and iron in composite ships by • Mr. M. Scott, C.E., and on Jordan's sys tem of combination by Mr. W. Walker. The members of the institution met in the evening at the Royal School of Naval Architecture, South Kensington Museum, when Sir John Pakington occupied the chair. A most important discussion took place on the reading of a paper on some recent experience in engineering by Mr. R. Murray, C.E. In the course of the arguments an unanimous opi nion was expressed in favour of the recognition of surface condensation, and of the introduction of fresh water instead of salt. Mr. Scott Russell strongly urged the necessity of the employment of qualified engineers to meet the difficulties which would arise by the change, of which the corrosion of the boilers would be the most formidable. After the reading of a paper on a method of ascertaining the diameter of a circle on which a ship turns, the members proceeded to view the collection of naval models recently moved to the museum. STATE OF TRADE, MANCHESTER, April 7.—The market for shipping yarns has been very depressed, with next to nothing doing and lower prices. For home trade yarns th© market has been very stagnant, with a decline of Id. per lb. in prices as compared with Tuesday. Scarcely any business has been done. The advices from India continue to be discouraging, and those from Bombay are considered to be particularly so, tend ing to prevent operations both in yarn aid cloth. In cloth a continuation of the depressed feeling ex isting on Tuesday has stood very much in the way of business, and prices are slowly but steadily droop ing. Failures and anticipated failures in London, Liverpool, and here have a bad effect on business. A desire to honour the memory of Mr. Cobden on this, the day of his funeral, has no doubt helped to lessen the desire to do business, which may be said almost to have totally closed for the clay from the hour of high 'Change, which is 2 o'clock. NorrINGII.I3I, 7th.—There was a better attend ance of merchants and manufacturers at the Ex change-hall to-day, but the demand for lace yarns was slow, and rates remained without material change. The demand for hosiery yarns was limited, and previous rates may for the most part be quoted. There was very little doing in brown nets, and the sales made were at about previous rates. Silks a ready sale, and prices have a tendency to improve. WILLS AND BEQUESTS.
