(Before the Judge Ordinary and a Common Jury.) WHITMORE V. WHITMORE AND BRETTELL. This suit, which commenced yesterday, and had not concluded when the court rose, was resumed this morning by the examination of witnesses for the respondent. _ _ _ Sarah Valiance said she was a servant in Mr. Whitmore's service. The petitioner behaved very badly to his wife. She had seen him "lug" her out of bed, and he on ono oc casion gave her a black eye. She had heard him threaten to kick his wife. She never knew anything improper be tween Mrs. Whitmore and David Whittaker. She never knew Mrs. Whitmore sit in Whittaker's lap, or do any other act of impropriety. She would swear she never said any thing detrimental. It must have been a dream if she had told her anything of the sort. Sarah Wilks, another domestic servant, said she was in the service of Mrs. Whitmore in 1861. Petitioner used to swear at his wife. Respondent was not properly supplied with food, and the children, except the eldest, was with her. Mrs. Whitmore left her house whilst she was in her service. Petitioner had behaved very improperly to her, but he desisted in consequence of her screaming. It was in 1861, and no one else was in the house but her mistress. The girls who served in Mr. Whitmore's shop did not sleep in the house. She told her mistress the same day that Mr. Whitmore had behaved rudely to her. She could swear that she never wentto Saxah Harper, one of the shop assis tants, and ask her money out of the sill for Mrs. Whitmore. Sarah Fagg said she was nursemaid to petitioner. She had seen him act very cruelly towards his wife. In 1861 she met Mrs. Whitmore in the street ; she was crying. Mr. Whitmore came up and began to swear, and ordered his wife into his house. Mr. Whitmore always began the quarrelling ; his wife, on the contrary, always did what she could to please her husband. Her mistress was a good tempered woman, and never quarrelled as much as her master. She never knew her mistress to go to the Green Dragon publichouse, or to come home between 12 and one o'clock in the morning. David Whittaker, a gamekeeper, said he knew that Mrs. Whitmore resided at High House. He kept company with one of her servants. On one occasion he was at the house and he sat up watching the whole of the night, as some one came to frighten Mrs. Whitmore. He would swear solemnly that nothing of an improper nature ever occurred between him and the respondent. He never went into Mr. Whitmore's house above once in two months. He never mistook Mrs. Whitmore for his sweetheart Sarah Valiance (laughter), or kissed her by mistake (laughter). He had quarrelled with a man named Dobbin because he had called him a poacher. William Davis, a game watcher, said on the occasion of the quarrel ho happened to be in the company of Whittaker. They both went into Mr. Whitmore's house together. Whittaker left before he (witness) did. He was called out by Dobbin. There was a quarrel, and Mrs. Whitmore ordered both the men away. John Connor, a bricklayer's labourer, corroborated the evidence of the previous witness. The case will not conclude to-day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Winslow.) IN RE JOHN LEIGH-THE FAILURE OF A LATE POLICE MAGISTRATE. To-day was appointed for judgment in this case, and the sentence of the Court was that the order of discharge should be granted, subject to certain conditions, namely, that the bankrupt's property and person should be charged until he paid a dividend of ss. in the pound. POLICE INTELLIGENCE S —This Day. MARLBOROUGII-S TREET. A DRUNKEN CABM/L.N.—Albert Town, driver of a Hansom cab, No. 3,343, and badge number 13,786, was charged be fore Mr. Knox with being drunk, &c. Sergeant Edwards, 2-C, said—About a quarter past 11. last night I saw the prisoner, who was drunk, driving a Hansom cab at a furiolis rate down Regent-street, the reins being slack at the time. When the prisoner got near the corner of Maddox-street he came in collision with a four wheel cab, driven by a man named Henry Mills, and in which there was a lady and gentleman. The driver of the four-wheel cab was knocked off the box, as was also the prisoner from his, in consequence of the violence of the collision. The four-wheel cab was smashed, and the gen tleman received sore injuries about thoface from the broken glass, but the lady escaped uninjured. The driver of the four-wheel cab, being much injured, was immediately taken to the Middlesex Hospital, but being anxious to get home, he was not detained there. The gentleman who was in the four-wheel cab promised to attend, but he had not. Mr. Hazel], cab proprietor, of Queen-street, King's-road, Chelsea, said—My four-wheel cab is smashed to pieces, and my driver so much injured that ho is unable to attend the court. Prisoner—l had a faro in my cab, and he struck my horse. I lost all command over it, and was thrown from my box. I was not drunk. Sergeant Edwards—The prisoner was very drunk. Soper, 150 C—l saw the prisoner driving down Rbgent street at a full gallop, and called to him to stop, but he paid no attention. The prisoner was drunk.

Mr. Knox—l will not take bail until I know whether the injured man is out of danger. THAMES. JACK'S CRUISE AT AN END.—John. Howard, a weather beaten, sun-dried mariner, of diminutive stature, without hat, jacket, or shoes, and the garments he had on badly torn, was charged with assaulting John Fenge, 405 K, and Edward French, 259 K, police constables, in the execution of their duty. The prisoner is an homeward bounder lately paid off, and, with the usual improvidence of sailors, has got rid of all his wages, and the new "rig out" which he purchased of the Jews when he came ashore. Last night he was on a cruise in Ratcliff-highway. He was drinking at several grog shops, treating loose women, singing, capering, and indulging in all manner of practical jokes. When all his money was gone he began to be mischievous, and capsized every ono before him. The police interfered with him, and told him to go home, which he refused to do, and run a muck at the constables. Fenge attempted to seize him, and he struck him three times on the face and marked him, and also hit him a violent blow on tie chest and knocked him backwards. French then attempted to seize him, and he made a butt at him with his head, overturned him in an instant, and hurt him very much. The sailor then made a furious onslaught on other constables, who were too much for him, and he was quickly subdued and carried to the station-house. The worst part of his conduct was that he got the finger of one policeman in his mouth and tried to bite him, in which, fortunately, he was unsuccessful. The prisoner said he was three sheets in the wind last night, and recollected nothing at all. He was sentenced to be imprisoned for two months and kept to hard labour, on which he waved his hand to the girls at the back of the court, and exclaimed, " There's an end to my cruise." BURGLARY—ROBBERY—CAUTION TO HOUSEKEEPERS. — Benjamin Barrett, aged 20, and described as a labourer, of Thrawl-street, Spitalfields, in which locality there is a regular thieves' colony, was charged with burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Mr. Tyson, stockbroker, of No. 56, Lichfield-road, Bow, and stealing a hearthrug and tablecover therefrom. Last night, between the hours of 9 and 10 o'clock, Mrs. Tyson made the house " secure," as she termed it, in the . usual manner, and locked and barred the doors. Soon afterwards she fancied she heard the front parlour window raised, and heard a noise in the parlour. She went into tho room, and two fellows made their escape. Everything portable in the front parlour had been disturbed, and an antimacassar removed from the sofa; a hearthrug, tablecover, two jugs, and other articles were missing. Mrs. Tyson had no doubt other things would have been taken if she had not disturbed the burglars. The front window was opened. The upper sash had been made fast to the lower one in the usual manner by a " catch." It had been shoved back from without by a knife, the win dows unfastened and an entrance effected. The " catch" was described by the police as no protection to windows, and could be easily shoved back with a knife. John Shearman, a police-constable, No. 285 K, was on duty about half-past ten last night in the Mile-end-road, and saw the prisoner coming from the direction of Tredegar square, near Lichfield-street, with a hearthrug on his shoulder. He asked the prisoner twice where he ob tained the hearthrug, to which ho made no reply, but threw it off his shoulder and ran away. Shearman picked up the rug and pursued him. The prisoner was stopped by a police-constable named Tripp. He was searched, and a tablecover was found in his trousers. Two common table-knives, much worn, were found con cealed upon him. They did not belong to Mr. Tyson. The police were of opinion they had been used in forcing back the window " catch." Mrs. Tyson identified the hoarthrug and tablecover. They were stolen from her parlour last night. The prisoner was remanded for a week to make inquiries about him and his confederate in the robbery. WESTMINSTER. POLICE SAGACITY.—FINDING A " MARE'S NEsT.”—Thos. Vernon, a respectable looking middle-aged man, was charged with being drunk and assaulting the police. Police-constable 402 V said that last night at about 12 o'clock the defendant was walking through the King's road, Chelsea, and a conversation occurred between them, in the course of which the defendant detailed the annoy ance he had experienced from a dog having Hewn at him, and threatened what he would do if it occurred again. Complainant, observing that he had a basket in his hand, became suspicious that there was something dishonestly obtained in it, and asked defendant if it was heavy, and upon the latter saying it was not, and returning to the ad venture of the dog, complainant said he must see what was in it, and was proceeding to examine it, when defendant took out a bit of wood from it and struck him with it. lib took the defondant, who was drunk, into custody, and on examination of the basket it turned out to contain some tins to make pies in. Defendant said he obtained a living by selling pies, and was returning with the empty tins when he found himself stopped by the policeman, who insisted upon examining his basket. A slight scuffle might have occurred in taking the bit of wood out of the basket, but he denied striking him. Mr. Selfe (to the constable)--Did lie first speak to you or you to him ? Policeman—He first spoke to me. Mr. Selfe—What induced you to suspect he had any pro perty dishonestly come by in his basket ? Policeman—Because he began talking to me about tho dog, and I thought that that was to take my attention off the basket. Mr. Selfe—Was that all ? Policeman—Yes, sir. Mr. Selfe—l don't follow your process of reasoning, that because he talked of a dog ho had something in his basket he did not want you to see. Is there anything known against defendant ? Policeman—Nothing. Mr. Selfe—l can't see how this was in tho execution of your duty,unless there was some circumstance of suspicion, which I cannot find. If every one walking with a basket is to be stopped to have it searched, honest people as well as bad characters will be interfered with. Defendant was discharged. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE.

MADRID, March 5. The following is a summary of the new Press Law, introduced by the Cabinet and read yesterday evening in the Senate All printed publications are considered clandes tine which do not state the establishments whence they are issued, or that are published without the formalities required by law. " In Order to publish a periodical, notice must be given to the governor of the province and to the press judge of the title of the publication, the name of the director, and of the office where it is to be published. " Two hours before any publication is put into circulation two copies of the same must be delivered to the governor of the province or the mayoralty of the town if it be not a capital, and two others to the press judge. A sealed receipt will be given on pre sentation of the copies. " The author, the editor, and the printer are jointly responsible for the due fulfilment of the pro visions of the law with regard to printed matter ; and if this be a periodical, the director, instead of the editor, will be responsible. " The press and all its effects are specially and primarily amenable to all consequences resulting from judicial and gubernatorial decisions in abuses of the press. " If the proprietor of a 'printing establishment be incapacitated from fulfilling his duties, the publica tion must be suspended until the requirements of the law are fulfilled. " The author of any printed matter is held to be that person who can be legally proved to have pro duced the original manuscript which served as the printer's copy. " The director is considered to be that person legally proved to have arranged its publication in the printed periodical. " With regard to clandestine printing, all those are held amenable to the law who have in any way contributed to the publication and circulation of the matter. 41 An offence against the press laws is considered consummated when the printed matter is published. If, when it has not yet been published, and the copies have been delivered to the governor and the fiscal, any contraventions of the law are found to have been committed, the responsible persons will be considered guilty of a frustrated offence. " Publication is considered to have taken place when two or more copies of a periodical have been distributed, when it has been offered for sale in any place gr left in any public establishment, or when copies have been sent to the post. " Offences may be committed through the press : —l. Against the person and dignity of the So vereign. 2. Against the security of the State. 3. Against public order. 4. Against society. 5. Against public morals. 6. Against foreign So vereigns. 7. Against private individuals." Here follows ;serie;of articles stating the cases u which the offences just expressed are held to be committed : " No offence will be committed in writing, pub lishing, Or censuring official proceedings, or the acts of public functionaries in the exercise of their duties, always provided that no calumnious imputation be made. " Offences committed against the Sovereign and the security of the State will be punished by minor imprisonment and fines of from 12,000 to 36,000 reals. When the offence has been frustrated, the punishment will be correctional imprisonment of from seven to 36 months. " The offences perpetrated against public order incur the penalty of correctional imprisonment in terms of seven to 36 months, and fines of from 10,000 to 30,000 reals. If frustrated, imprisonment from one to six months. " Offences against public morals will be punished by imprisonment from one to six months, correc tional imprisonment of from seven to 36 months, and fines of 5,000 to 10,000 reals. If frustrated, two months' arrest. " The circumstance of clandestine publication is onsidered to aggravate the offence, and will incur the maximum penalty. " Offences against foreign Sovereigns will be punished by imprisonment of one to six months, and fines of 4,000 to 8,000 reals. If frustrated, impri sonment of one to 15 days, " Offences against private individuals, consisting of calumny or insult, incur the penalty of imprison ment of one to six months, correctional imprison ment of from six to 36 months, and fines of 2,000 to 20,000 reals. When the offence consists in pub lishing private family events, affairs, or documents, the penalty will be imprisonment of one to six months, and fines 1,000 to 10,000 reals. " The parties aggrieved in the cases just cited are entitled to claim damages. No indulgence can be ceded for these offences without a written pardon being obtained from the aggrieved party. Should the committal of the offence be frustrated a fine will be inflicted of 200 to 500 reals ; while in common law one judge takes cognisance of criminal cases in the Court of First Instance, there will be a special press judge in Madrid, Barcelona, and Seville. In the other cities the judges of first instance in com mon law will act—the senior judge taking prece dence when there are more than two in one locality. "In cases of press offences the judge of first in stance will proceed in the same manner and under the same responsibility as in all other common offences, and proceedings may commence as soon as the judge may determine after the receipt of the two copies of the publication. " Appeal may be made against the sentence of the judge to the audiencia of the territory, and all the resources may be used which are authorised by the common law in other criminal matters. " The period within which penal action may be taken against the offences specified in this law is 60 days when the offence has been committed by A periodical, 90 days if by a pamphlet, 120 for a book, three months when the offence is insult and calumny against persons residing in the Peninsula and the adjacent islands, six months when resident in the Antilles, and one year in the Philippines. "In the case of errors and the publication of false or distorted statements respecting persons, tribunals, corporations or associations authorised by the law, the periodical will be obliged to gra tuitously insert, within three days, a rectification of the statements in question. " If errors are also committed ) such as distributing copies without observing the necessary formalities, treating religious affairs - without the competent authority, not publishing within three days the rectifications addressed to the periodical, and endea vouring in any way to render illusory the responsi bility of the persons really amenable to the law, these errors will incur fines of 200 to 4,000 reals. " Appeal may be made from the fines imposed by the mayors to the governors, and from those im posed by the governor to the Minister of the Inte rior when these exceed 3,000 reals. No appeal can be made from the decision of the Minister. Should any person upon whom a fine is inflicted be insol vent, he will undergo the corresponding term of imprisonment according to the provisions of the penal code. " The previous censorship of dramatic works, novels, &c., continues in force, and the judge will obtain the sanction of the ecclesiastical authorities before giving his own, when such writings treat of dogma or morality." A PRUSSIAN SQUADRON FOR THE PIRIEUS.-It is asserted that an order has been issued for the despatch of a small Prussian " squadron," a corvette and a steam gun boat, to the Piraeus and Constantinople. The object is not only to exercise the crews at sea, but also to watch over Prussian interests in the East, as it is feared at BCrlin that conflicts may arise in Greece, and that Prussian subjects residing there may be imperilled in person and property. During the last few days there has been rather less animation exhibited in the Foreign and Colo nial Produce Markets. The public sales of tea have proceeded slowly without any material change in prices. Sugars have been in limited demand, but at about previous rates, while coffee, rice, fruit, and spices, have remained without variation in values. In the tallow market there has been a depression in prices for both present and future delivery. BOROUGH HOP. The supply of English hops on sale being small, all de scriptions continue to be held at full prices. The demand, however, is chiefly confined to good and fine samples, which command a steady sale at fully late rates. For in ferior produce, both English and foreign, the trade is slow at previous quotations. Mid and East Kent ..... llos to 200 e per ow`. Weald of Kent . ... loss to 153 s Sussex .

MPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS-THIS EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. BARRACKS IN IRELAND. _ _..._,.._ . The Marquis of CLATTRICARDE asked the Secretary of State for War if the rumour was true that several small barracks in Ireland were to be sold ? Earl DE GREY said it had for some years been under consideration whether certain small barracks should not be sold. The Duke of Wellington had had the subject of small barracks constantly under his consideration, but the matter had been now in some measure decided on, as it was proposed to dispose of 19 small barracks, but barracks in Galway were not amongst the number. Some of the other small barracks it was proposed to use as militia stores. In reply to Lord PANMITRE, Earl DE GREY said that the Government was well convinced of the inadvisability of splitting up the regi ments into small detachments. The Earl of MALMESBURY trusted a price commen surate with the value of the barracks would be insisted The subject then dropped. THE CASE OF MR. EDMUNDS The LORD CHANCELLOR laid on the table reports and documents relative to the case of Mr. Edmunds, and moved that they be printed for the use of the members of the select committee exclusively. The motion was agreed to. ATTORNEYS AND SOLICITORS BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the seco n d reading of this bill. Lord ST. LEONARDS, at some length, stated his ob jections to various portions of the bill. - . [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—THIS EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. On the motion of Mr. C. FORSTER, the order of the day for the second reading of the South Hams (Devon) Rail way Bill was discharged, and the bill was withdrawn. On the motion of Mr. C. FORSTER, the minutes of evi dence taken before the committee on the London, Tilbury, and Southend Railway Bill in session 1852 was referred to the committee on the London, Tilbury, and Southend Railway Bill for this session. PETITIONS. Petitions were presented in favour of a reduction or re peal of the malt tax ; the duty on fire assurance ; for a redress of the alleged grievances of Indian officers • for an improved system of railway communication in Ireland. LAW RELATING TO PATENTS FOR INVENTIONS. Mr. HIBBERT asked the Attorney-General whether her Majesty's Government intended to bring in a bill this ses sion to carry out the recommendations of the commission for inquiring into the working of the law relating to letters patent for inventions. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that tho Government would introduce a bill on the subject, in accordance with the recommendation of the commission. • REGISTRATION OF COUNTY VOTERS. Mr. WESTERN asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was his intention to bring in any measure founded on any of the recommendations contained in the report of the select committee on registra tion of county voters ; and, if not, whether he purposed to introduce any bill for the amelioration of the present sys tem of county registration. Mr. T. BARING, in the absence of Sir G. Grey, said that his hon. friend the member for West Sussex introduced a bill on this subject, but he was unable to prosecute it this session from his state of ill health, but the honourable member for Northampton intended bringing forward a bill on the subject, and under these circumstances Government did not intend to introduce any bill in reference to the sub ject. POLITICAL ASSOCIATION IN DUBLIN. Sir H. BRUCE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether his attention had been called to the fact of a sti pendiary magistrate having signed a requisition to the Lord Mayor of Dublin to convene a meeting to form an association for certain political objects ; and, if so, whether he considered it consistent with the duty of a stipendiary magistrate to sign such a requisition ? Sir R. PEEL said that the attention of the Government had been drawn to this subject, and it appeared that Mr. French, the magistrate in question, was a most respectable Roman Catholic gentleman, who had discharged his duties for 18 years in a most efficient manner. The Government had thought it right to direct his attention to the matter, and they had received a reply in which he regretted the course he had adopted, and which he has taken merely in his capacity of a chairman of the board of commissioners of Cashel. The Government considered that under the circumstances it was unnecessary to :institute any inquiry into the matter. Mr. SCULLY moved the adjournment of the house in order to enable him to make some observations on this subject, and deprecated the principle that a gentleman holding the position of Mr. French, who was the heir pre sumptive to Lord French, should be prohibited by his offi cial status from passing an opinion on any public subject. His resignation of the office in which he acted would be an injury to the district whore he resided. After a few words from Sir R. PEEL, The motion was withdrawn on the promise that the right hon. baronet would consent to postpone the second reading 1 of the Union Officers Superannuation (Ireland) Bill until after Easter. THE UNIVERSITY OF LONDON. Mr. G. DUFF asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he had under his consideration the letter from the senate of the University of London, dated Nov. 10, 1864, on the subject of a building for the university ; and whether he proposed to take any, and, if so, what stops, with a view to meet the wishes of that body, as explained in the specification which had been laid before him. Mr. COWPER said that he had received communications as to the amount of building accommodation which would be required by the University, tut it was an important question, and should be referred to a commission. PUMPING OF SEWAGE TO HAMPSTEAD, dtc. Mr. BLAKE asked the hon. member for Bath whether, adverting to Mr. Ellis's letter to the chairman of the Metro politan Board of Works (dated Feb. 18, 1862), a copy of which will be found at page 415 of the Report on Sewage (Metropolis), and the seventh clause of Mr. Ellis's tender for the sewage, which will be found at p. 423 of the same report, as well as Mr. Ellis's examination before the select committee of last session, and in particular his answer in question 2,100, which will be found at page 85 of the same report, it does not appear that Mr. Ellis's plan does not contem plate pumping the sewage to Hampstead, Highgate, Shooter's-h 4 or any:other point to which the Metropoli tan Board of Works objected. Mr. TITE, who was scarcely audible in the reporters' gallery, entered into some explanation on the subject, and was understood to say that the matter should be fully con sidered, and that the Metropolitan Board of Works ought not to be called in to decide the p artial point at issue. ANOMALY IN TARIFF. Mr. J. B. SMITH asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it was his intention to rectify the singular anomaly in our tariff—viz., that while wooden ships and all articles manufactured of wood, are allowed to enter British ports free, the raw material wood is subjected to a duty ? Th e CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that one of the ways of removing the anomaly was to impose a tax on shipping—(laughter)—but he could assure the hon. member that there was no such intention. He was not prepared to give an answer to the question at present. UNION CHARGEABILITY BILL. In reply to Mr. BENTINCK, Mr. VILLIERS said it was intended to proceed with the army estimates next Monday, and if the discussion respecting them was over at an early hour, it was intended to move the second reading of this bill. OUIE. In reply to Lord STANLEY, Sir C. WOOD said that several letters and dispatches on the subject had been received yesterday, and he would lay them before the house without delay. THE ARMY ESTIMATES. In reply to General PEEL, The Marquis of HARTINGTON said the most conve nient course to him woad be for the hon. and gallant member to defer his observations on these estimates until he (the Marquis of Hartington) had made his general state ment. - - - " AN IRISH GENTLEMAN." Mr. HENNESSY asked for information relative to the law in Ireland in consequence of a most extraordinary statement which appeared m the newspapers this morning. This statement was to the effect that on Monday . last a man named Patrick Doyle was convicted at the assizes at Kilkenny of vagrancy and sentenced, in the absence of bail, to some years penal servitude. That convictionstoo place on an act of Queen Anne, and ho thought t it a a t t ob solete. Before the same judge who preside f rsonating assizes at Kilkenny a man was convicted c h ed o office a postman and stealing a letter, a t nd e only to a month's imprisonment, authorities. s u l : sd en thatten He had not been employed by the Post day tary for Ireland on a future g l e a n . t t l y e m w a a n s whon would expect information on this subject from the Secre d. ROEBUCK th ß e U o C ff K en s co ai vic M te r NEW ZEALAND. dofhebernugudanthalrtitshhe On the motion of going into committee of supply, would not work. (Great laughter.) Mr. A. MILLS caned the attention of the house to the state of affairs in New Zealand, and moved an address to the Crown on the subject of the war in that colony, but said that in consequence of an alteration in the policy of Government towards the colony, he would not press his motion. However, he condemned in strong terms the con duct pursued towards New Zealand by this country. Mr. ROEBUCK denounced the cry that had been got up o n this subject as one of the shams which sh o uld be ex posed. He contended that in prosecuting conquest and colonization this country h a d extended c ivilization, and referred to th e aboriginal. state of America when it Wyss inhabited by a cruel savage and vindictive race, as a proof of his assertion, and the advantages effected by the dominion of a civilised nation. Mr. BAXTER, at some length, denounced the policy of this country towards New Zealand, and was LEPT SPEAKING. LONDON GAZE rTE---This Evening -- -4 - LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S OFFICE, MARCH 9.

The result was a number of small cemeteries and separate tombs, which surrounded Sebastopol. Upon leaving the Crimea the Allies entrusted to us the onerous and difficult task of guarding the inviolability of these tombs. The Russian authorities did what they could, but it was impossible to place a sentinel over each tomb. By degrees the former owners returned to their lands with their cattle. Some of the ceme tery walls were defaced, monuments broken, crosses overthrown. Complaints, correspondence, negotia tions between the Governments interested followed. The English proposed to send to the Crimea an entire company of soldiers to watch the tombs ; it would have amounted to the foundation of an English colony in the Crimea. Naturally enough our Go vernment could not accept such a proposal. The French acted much better ; they sent an engineer to Sebastopol, with orders to form one large cemetery, to which the mortal remains of their fellow-country men who died during the siege were afterwards to be transferred. M. Braker, a landowner in the neighbourhood, whose property is situated at about three miles from Sebastopol, gave a piece of ground for this purpose, which has been surrounded by a wall. In this enclosure eighteen large tombs are being built, one of which is in the middle. All these tombs are built upon arches, forming cata combs, in which the bones of the soldiers will be placed, arranged by regiments. Above each regi ment the officers of those regiments, up to the rank of colonels inclusive, will be placed in separate com partments. The generals, to the number of ten, will be placed in the tomb in the middle of the cemetery. All these tombs and the catacombs will be always open, and inscriptions cut in tablets of marble will designate by name each officer's place. A house has been built for the keeper, a French man, and for the attendants. The construction of this cemetery is nearly finished. There is nothing more to do than to transfer the bones from the old tombs, and this is now being done. It is said that the English are going to follow the example of the French. If such is the case we shall be relieved of a heavy duty, and the whole of that vast field of death which surrounds Sebastopol will be covered as of old with vineyards and gardens. THE QUEEN A FRANK COLLECTOR.—The Queen has, or had, a collection of franks of the Peers and M.P.'s who held seats in her first Parliament. In procuring those she is said to have employed the services of the Hon. Col. Murray, Sir Charles Phipps, and the ladies of her court; but I have never heard that her Majesty was able to suc ceed in making her collection quite complete.—Once a Week. GOLDSMITHS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, in becoming patron of the above charity, has forwarded his cheque for twenty-five pounds as a life subscriber. It is the intention of the subscribers at the next general meeting to alter their laws, to enable them to give pensions of twenty pounds a year to all elected in future. The funded capital of the Institution has within a few years increased to upwards of £ll,OOO. FIRE IN THE EDINBURGH MUSIC HALL.—At a quarter before three o'clock on Wednesday morning a fire broke out in the Music Hall during the ball of the United Service Club, which for a short time created consi derable alarm. The decorations, which were elaborate and of the mosttasteful description, were principally confined to the orchestra, which was entirely concealed by most artistic erections that elicited universal admiration. Along the top of the screens which stretched across the orchestra in front bl ra az p e i . di l ty n , an an u d p i pe n a r of the organ was a row of gas-jets, which, being unpro tected, appear to have caused flame to communicate with h orchestrafir es p e e a c d o nuwor appearedi th eesoi alarming iin a the muslin, calico, and other light materials used in the de stage below the organ the band of the 74th Highlanders was u ta s ti ra on an i u n e s r a i y u in w g h t i h e a h t, th b e u y t f c e o w ra rn tio in n fsotartitohneed,en anderenergetic t w i c e a h n a d v Thede corations. rushed at the burning materials and tore them down, irre spective of all danger, the consequences would have been much more serious than those we have to record. Several ladies and gentlemen were seated on the platform ; but, so far as we have ascertained, all have escaped without injury • The gallant bandsmen leaped from their elevated position, and wrought with astonishing energy in the midst of flame and smoke, and falling planks, till the whole temporary erections were torn down and the flames trampled out with out the aid of water. Valuable assistance was also lent by many of the gentlemen present. When the flames were subdued the company joined in hearty cheers in honor of the noble efforts of the 74th. The alarm, of course, spread to the peincipal ball-room, at one time a panic seemed imminent, but luckily nothing untoward happened beyond the fainting of several ladies through agitation. Dancing was resumedin the Assembly-rooms; and although many of the dancers left, it was continued till a late hour. We understand that none of the structure of the Music-hall has been materially injured, and that the concert of the Phil harmonic Society this evening will not be interfered with.
