COURT OF ADMIRALTY. (Before Dr. Lushington). BANDA AND KIRWEE BOOTY.--JUDGMEN . Dr. Lushington delivered judgment in this im portant case, which has reference to the claims made by several distinguished officers who had served in India during the mutiny for a share in the booty captured at Banda and d Kirwee. The heirs of the late Lord Clyde also claimed a share on the ground that as com mander-in-chief of the Indian army at the time he was entitled to the same. The learned Judge said that he was quite sensible of the great responsibility imposed on the court in having to adjudicate on the many conflicting claims preferred by officers and the troops to share in which her Majesty had been graciously pleased to grant, and he would only say that he had given the subject his best consideration. The Court of Admiralty had no original jurisdiction on prize matters, the jurisdiction which it exercised being derived from the authority of Parliament`and the Royal prerogative. The learned judge then pro ceeded to point out the difference between the law and practice in regard to naval and military prizes, and said that, with certain distinctions, both were based upon association and co-ope ration in capture. In regard to the navy vessels, assisting others in " intimidating the foe and encouraging the friends," were entitled to participate in the booty results from capture, although they might not originally have bemi assigned to that duty. It was, however, necessary that they should have the captured vessel in sight. Owing to the different notion of military service, to terms co-operation and association had a more stringent signification, and incidental or casual assistance rendered would not come within their legal meaning. He then proceeded to review the claims of Sir Hugh Rose, Colonel Keatinge, General Roberts, and the other claimants, and concluded as follows :—" The rem* of this judgment then is that I declare Lord Clyde and his staff, personal as well as general, en titled to share in this booty captured at Banda and Kirwee; and, subject to this right, I award the whole of the booty to General Whitlock and his forces, including amongst the latter the troops under Colonel Keating, and any other troops left by General Whitlock on his march, but who at the time of the capture formed a portion of his division, and were still under his command. I disallow all other claims. The scale upon which the distribution shall be made to the several ranks is a matter which by the terms of the order of reference I am precluded from entering upon. It is hardly requisite for me to add that the view which I have taken of the whole matter renders it unnecessary for me to consider any booty captured by the forces of Sir H. Rose or the late Sir H. Roberts or any other of the claim ants. As to the taxation of costs, lam strongly of opinion that it will be a saving of much unneces sary expense and trouble if each solicitor, instead of submitting his bill of costs to be taxed in the ordi nary manner, item by item, presents his account of disbursements, counsels' fees, printing, &c., leaving it to the registrar of the court to award a quantum meruit, sufficient to cover exrenses out of pocket, and to afford besides a reasonable remuneration for professional services. Ido not make a compul sory order on this head, but I shall be glad to see this arrangement accepted; and I direct that the registrar shall have power, upon appli cation by any solicitory, to settle the taxation of his bill of costs in this general manner. I know not whether the whole of the booty has yet been realised, but with a view to prevent any fur ther delay in the distribution, I shall recommend to the Treasury to distribute such portion thereof as it may be in their power to do, reserving, however, an adequate sum to meet all possible costs that may have been incurred, the amount of which I shall be prepared to advise them if necessary. There remains the question of costs. If this were an ordinary case I should hold that those who have preferred claims, which they have failed to establish, ought to bear the cost of their experiment. But, considering that this is the first occasion on which this jurisdiction has been exercised, considering also the conflict of opinion amongst the several authorities before whom the vestion was successively_ brought, and which led to the reference to this' court, I am not pre pared to say that any of the claimants were not entitled to prefer their claim. I shall, therefore, in pursuance of the power given me by the Order in council, direct that the costs of the various parties who appeared before me shall be paid out of the fund. I cannot bring this judgment to a close without observing that I view with regret the die appointMenkit must occasion to many gallant claim ants who have performed so many noble services during this mutiny. But, after mostdeliberate con sideration, I am well satisfied that my decision is accordant with the principles observed in cases o naval capture, and also with the usages which, in the main, has hitherto obtained in the distribution of booty. To have carried the doctrine of con - structive capture to the extent prayed for, would, I am convinced, have thrown the law and practice into confusion, have sown the seeds for frequent litigation, and been detrimental to the interests of her Majesty's land forces.

The Execution of Anton Probst. It is generally accepted that in America events assume a magnitude that seem to be borrowed from the gigantic features of the country ; nothing small is done there, whether it be the accumulation of a National debt or a murder. One of the most horrible cases ever recorded in the annals of crime was the murder of the Dearing family, near Old Point House, Philadelphia, by the German, Anton Probst. In default of battles and sensational telegrams a murder in this country is generally made the most of. If all that was written in relation to Muller were piled together it would form a very big affair. Indeed a great campaign might be conducted with less eXpenditure of paper. If Muller could only have got one-tenth of the sum expended by the Government, by newspaper proprietors, and in a variety of other ways, conse quent on the act ho had committed, before that act was committed, he probably would now be a respectable member of society. At any rate the murder for which he would eventually have been hung would have assumed another type, the thought being generated by other circumstances and ne cessities. _ _ Anton Probst was a German of another genus than Franz Muller. The former was au unmiti gated, undisguised ruffian, and as such broadly stamped by nature. He was born at Baden in 1842, and was therefore only 24 years of age. Although his father was a carpenter he never learned any trade. He was of that class, lazy, improvident, and grossly sensual, that nothing can keep from poverty and degradation. Instantly on landing in New York he accepts the bounty and enlists in the 12th cavalry, but only to desert to re-enlist for another bounty. Eventually he was received into Mr. I)earing's house, where he remains for three weeks, just long enough to discover that money is kept on the premises. lie then deserts his employer, and returns with the fixed idea of perpetrating a rob bery. The manner in which he accomplished this is almost unequalled in atrocity in the records of guilt. In the words of his own confession, " I made up my mind to get some of the money, and that is what I went back for." First the scheme is turned in his mind, and then comes the appalling history of its accomplishment. Day by day he lies in wait, axe in hand, to carry out his purpose. But even in such a mind conscience is heard, and a struggle takes place between the monitor for good and the spirit of evil. But the training of a life of debauchery gives too strong a hold to the evil principle, and the opportunity for the premeditated crime comes surely, if slowly. Saturday, the 7th April, dark, rainy, and cold, Mr. Dearing leaves the house for the city—this is his opportunity. Ile first murders the boy who sleeps with him, and then, one by one, assassinates the whole family. Having turned the peaceful farm into an Aceldama, he leisurely commences to riflo the house, bolts the doors and windows, feeds the chickens and cattle, and then hurries away under cover of the black night to drown these scenes of horror in drunken debaucheries. But the career of the murderer is short. Four days pass away and the bodies are discovered. On the next day Probst is arrested, a fortnight more his trial commences, on the 28th the verdict of guilty is brought in, and the criminal is sentenced to be hanged on June Bth. Thus in nine weeks the tragedy is complete : the crime, the conviction, and punishment. The Anglo-Saxon race is fond of striking con trasts. First we have the hideous, naked, deformed crime, and the fit instrument doomed to death, and hid in his condemned cell. Then emerges the re pentant criminal, crucifix in hand, andeyes raised to Heaven. What a change is here ! The man who perpetrated these diabolical murders comes forth to die, declaring that lie ought to die eight deaths, and recording in a letter to his parents the sure and firm hope he holds of meeting them in eternity in a holier and better place, and rejoicing with his whole heart in this conviction. Ile sleeps placidly, eats his eggs, bread, and butter, and coffee with a hearty appetite, and then walks forth to his doom without betraying a sign of fear, or flinching even on the gallows. In the account of his death given by the America" papers, this man who but a few hours before bad eaten heartily and conversed freely is placed as a corpse in a chair, and galvanic currents applied to the lips and temple, when the body passed through a spasm of gasping, breathing, and trembling. Thus in death this man without nerves was made to exhibit those signs of fear which in life no para phernalia of gallows or doom could force him to betray,—Anglo-American Times, POULTRY.

Everything was in readiness to proceed with the ceremony—the clergyman was at the tiller, one of the churchwardens and the parish clerk close by. Before, however, going on with the marriage service, the churchwarden interrogated the bridegroom as to whether he was a married man already,:and read a letter which stated that ho was married. This the bridegroom indignantly denied, and as there was no proof of a previous marriage, the service was proceeded with, and went on uninterruptedly until the placing of the ring. Clergyman—" With this ring I thee wed." Bride groom—" With this ring I thee wed." Clergyman— " With my body I thee worship." Bridegroom —" No, indeed, I can't say that; I will worship no one but God." Upon this the clergyman elosed the book and walked off towards the door, but on the entreaties of the bride and bridegroom, and on his promise that ho would repeat the words, tho reverend gentleman kindly returned to the altar and proceeded with the lesson ; but to the surprise of all present, when he read, IVith my body I thee wor ship," the bridegroom said as botme, " I prutust against it." The bride—"Oh,'ao say the words." Bridegroom— "No, I cannot say such words. I protest against it." The clergyman for the decond time closed the book and left the church, and the couple were obliged to return home fn exactly the same relationship as they loft it. The follow ing day, however, another effort was made to effect a union at the same altar, and with bettor success, the bridegroom repeating every word after the clergyman, without any objection. THE AGRICULTURAL IM PLEMENT TRADE IN CANADA.—Tho very high duties levied upon English agicultural machinery by the Canadian Governmentilias almost - entirely prevented its export to this important colony. The duties under the commercial treaty with the United States were so much lower that the Americans had, a monopoly of the market. Tho leading makers of English agricultural machinery have recently memorialised the Colonial Office upon the subject of lower duties, setting forth the hardship of being practically shut out from ono of our largest colonies, and the loss sustained by tho colonists in being debarred the use of our improved imple ments. Tho Hon. Mr. Cardwell has transmitted the me morial to the Governor of Canada for the consideration of the provincial Government. English agricultural machinery is also by the high scale of duties imposed shut out of the United States, whilst England receives American reaping and other agricultural machinery duty free. We learn that a leading manufacturer is about to proceed to America with a view to obtain some concession. [tIFLE MATCH.—The eighth monthly competition - - for the gold badge and silver medal of the West Middlesex Rifles was shot off on Thursday last, ton shots each at 300 and 600'yards, the winner of the badge being marks. The final competition for two members to shoot Lieut. Marriucr, 50 ; and the cup, on behalf of the regiment for tho Middlesex bronze medal Private Edmonds, 48 also took place on Thursday, ton shots each at 200, 500, and GOO yards, the five highest scores in the three days' competitions being Major Bridgman, 231; Ensign Garner, 228 ; Ensign Little, 227; Lieut. Marriner, 224 ; and Capt. Dear, 217. The two first will therefore shoot in the bronze medal competition.

Wo think it only fair and just alike to the Sporting Life and to Mr. Wright, to the sporting world and ourselves, that we should publish the fol lowing letter of Mr. Wright's, ' and the subjoined article from the Sporting Life, in reference to the late unfortunate and bewildering account of Wind ham as third for the Northumberland Plate, instead of the Red Earl having been named as third, as it ought to have been: Vexatious as the error was, and it was to none more so than to ourselves, for it we cannot, however (and that is some slight con solation), hold ourselves as in any way responsible. WRIGHT'S TELEGRAMS. TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN. Snt,—Windham hiving b een sent out by me as b e i ng third for the Northumberland Plate, I have referred to the message sent by my clerk from tho Grand Stand, and find he sent Red Earl. The mistake, therefore, rests with the United Kingdom Telegraph Company. 1 have written to the secretary for an explanation, and on receipt of his reply the same shall bo immediately made known.— Yours, /cc., W. WRIGHT. 16, York-street, Covent-garden, W.C., June 29. (From the Sporting Life) The " doings?' in'connection with the Northumberland Plate have boon further aggravated by a little, episode, showing that so rotten is the whole affair that tho very placing of the first throe horses gives occasion for mystifi cation and "nobbling." Tho " tissue" of the result sent out by Mr. Wright placed Windham third, while the private telegram of the Sporting Life gave Red Earl, Those two telegrams we posted outside our office in jux taposition, and, as may be supposed, the contradictory ' reports gave rise to no end of confusion and surmise. Meanwhile, at certain places where " nobblers" most do • congregate, this little discrepancy was taken the utmost advantage of, and " dog oat dog" became the order of the day. Tho final tissue sent out by Mr. Wright still repre sented Windham as third, and appended, " Won in a can ter, head between second and third." This was, of course, copied into all the evening papers, and thus the blundering news was circulated from one end of the kingdom to the other. It is difficult for us to understand by what process of misconception the name of Windham could have been substituted for that of Rod Earl. The names are certainly not alike, their colours are widely dissimilar, and their numbers on the card (1 and 2) could not favour optical illusion. Allowing, however, a mistake to have been made, how was it that Mr. Wright persisted in placing the name of Windham as third horse on the final tissue ? Between the first and second telegrams there was an interval at least of two hours. Meanwhile Mr. Wright must have been perfectly aware of the con tradictory reports, and, in tho interests of the public, we bog to ask him why he did not think it worth while to inquire into the matter, and place it beyond dispute ? If ho had taken the trouble to telegraph to Newcastle he would speedily have received the correct information . but if he considered this stop too inconvenient and ox 2 pensive, holmight,:by sending on to our .office, have been put in possession of the facts of the case beyond the shadow of a doubt, for we could have told the positions of every horse, and even the way in which the race was run. We beg to apprise Mr. Wright, for his own especial behoof, that all sorts of ill-natured things have been said about this most inexplicable transaction. Nor can ho wonder at it, for it must be borne in mind that the placing of the horses in the Northumberland Plato was an important matter, and Windham and Red Earl wore probably backed more largely for places than any other horses in the race. Some explanation, prompt and clear, is certainly due to the publio—firstly, as to how the error arose ; and, secondly, why the false report was blindly and obstinately persisted in after there had elapsed ample timo for investigation and correction. [Our impression of to-day contains a letter of explanation from Mr. Wright, but wo still think that our comments are justifiable.—En. S. L.J A dispensary for women and children, underf the superintendence of Miss Garrett, L.S.A., was opened yesterday atl69, Seymour-place, Bryanstone-square. After prayer by the Rev. W. U. Fremantle, Mr. Russell Gurney, M..F. Recorder_of London. and Dr. Billings explained the_ objects of the now institution. Dr. Priestley, Dr. Critchett► Dr. Jackson and others are on the consulting staff of the dispensary. DROWNED WIII LE Lin' I NG. —Li ell tenan t - Colonel Zachary Malloch, formerly in the Indian army, met with a melancholy death yesterday. Ho had for some time past boon residing at Torbay-house, Paignton. Early yes terday morning ho went out to bathe on the beach, near tho Rod Cliff Castle. He had not boon long in the water before ho was observed by some women to turn over on his back apparently exhausted. They instantly called to him, and receiving no reply raised an alarm. A minute or two after a packer on the railway came up. When the colonel was first observed ho was only in about four feet of water, and, if ho had power, might easily have obtained a footing; but by the time the packer arrived he was washed within a few foot of the shore and appeared quite dead. Dr. Prid ham was immediately on the spot, but his services wore unavailing. As he was a very good swimmer it is pre sumed that deceased was seized with cramp. OUR FOREST WANTS.—The resolution proposed in the House of Representatives some time since by Mr. Donnelly, of Minnesota, in relation to the cultivation of trees on the prairies, bas brought forth an admirable report from Judge Edmunds, of the Land Office, who refers to certain facts and probabilities which are of the utmost im portance. Wo aro running out our timber supplies in this country with unexampled rapidity. We cut down and use, and frequently we -destroy forests without necessity, merely to got rid of the trees, and yet our population is increasing so rapidly that lumber is becoming more valu able every day. But wo go on without care, diminishing our stock and making no effort to replace it. Judge Ed munds very judiciously says that if wo continue in the practice of this extravagance we will bo out of wood in the course of a century, and be compelled to make our beams and scantlings, like the Chinese, out of three-inch wood bound together with hoops and other contrivances. In addition to the pecuniary evils of wastefulness aro others, among which may be mentioned the injury to the health of the people, by diminishing the supply of water by rains, which become less frequent as the forests disappear. Upon trees we not only depend for crops, but to keep our rivers full, whereby wo have means of access to large districts of the country, and also have unfailing and cheap means of using mechanical power. But there is another reason why we should endeavour to preserve our timber, and that is that in immense regions of this country there aro no trees. The wild prairies of the West, those magnificent plains stretching away thousands of miles, are, by some provi sien of nature, which we may suppose to hair() been for the benefit of the country in the times before the Euro pean settlements, treeless and desolate. Man has settled upon them, and population is advancing. Trees will grow there if they are planted and attended to, but among the majority of settlers upon the plains this subject is never thought of. Means aro requisite to stimulate the attention of thd inhabitants of the great West to the neces sity of co-operation in this matter. How best to encourage the planting of trees is the question which was referred to Judge Edmunds. The propriety of granting alternate tracts of lands, as premiums for the cultivation of trees, was suggested, but Judge Edmunds does not advise that course. He thinks that there ought to be a provision in the warrant of every settler upon the public lands, bind ing.him to plant a certain number of trees within a speci fied time. He would also make it the duty of public sur veyors to plant the seeds of trees at each ascertained corner in the tracts which they may lay out. This would dot the country with little groups of trees, which would give relief to the dreary landscape of the plains, and en courage the inhabitants to add to the number of such ornaments. To devise a general system in regard to this matter is not easy. Everything will have to depend upon individual effort, and there can be no better method of calling the attention of parties interested to the importance of this matter than by free and earnest discussion.

POSTPONEMENT OF PUBLIC BUSINESS. Earl RUSSELL said her Majesty had sent for *Earl Derby to form a Ministry, and under the circumstancos he had therefore to propose that the house should, t t s f ar , aii public business was concerned, adjourn until Thursday. Lord BROUGHAM said that the cause of the resigna tion of the Government was a matter in which the country were universally ignorant, and which they deeply re-. b gr u e t t h te e d c . ou l l n d bonotthotffheer anyll oran op ce po a si nd tt regret to egretthhe proposed efullyshare a l .;. journment, and therefore would second the motion of hiii hon. friend (Earl Russell). Tho motion was then agreed to. GAS LIGHT AND COKE COMPANY BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Earl NELSON moved, as an amendment, that it should bo road a second time that day three months. The noble earl entered into details with a view of proving that great injury would be inflicted on the inhabitants izr the neigh,. bourhood of Victoria Park if the works witlck would b a established under the provisions of the bill were 003 1 - structed. The LORD CHANCELLOR supported the am en d_ ment, and suggested that it would be desirable if a corn mittee of the house were appointed to inquire fully into the subject. Lord RAVENSWORTH differed from the noble and learned lord, and felt bound to support the second reading of the bill. Lord CHELMSFORD supported the bill, and said there was no evidence to show that it would be injurious in an way. Lord TEYNHAM was in favour of the amendment Earl CAITHNESS supported the bill, the affe c t o f which he said would be to do away with three other gas works, which were admitted to be a great nuisance. Earl BEAITCHAMP opposed the bill. The Bishop of LONDON said that the population who were concerned in the injury that it was expected would, be inflicted were of the very poorest class, and totally un able to oppose a wealthy company. Ib was therefore de sirable that their interests should be protected by Parlia ment. It had been said that the works would be 673 yards from any habitations, but having the misfortune to live in the neighbourhood of a gas manufactory, and he could speak from experience, that distance was not suf.. ficient to prevent a nuisance. He trusted, therefore, that the honks, in the cause of humanity, would interfere to prevent the passing of the bill without the fullest conside ration it could possibly receive from Parliament. After a few observations by Lord OvintsTosz and the Marquis of TowNsEursi) in favour of the amendment, Lord REDSDALE said that it was necessary that gag works should be constructed somewhere, and if opposition to every attempt to construct were sustained it would lead to serious inconvenience to the public generally. In th e present instance he considered that the interests of the parties concerned were fully provided for, when the Cor poration of the City of London, the Metropolitan Board of Works, and the Hackney Board of Works were petitioners against the bill. (Laughter.) After a short discussion, the house adjourned for the second reading of the bill. Contents ... Non-contents ... 27 Majority The bill was accordingly rejected.

' In Asia, and in all countries most desolated by this scourge, the natives sleep on tho ground:— a_ OUR BED-ROOMS. Dr. T. S. Bell, an old and eminent physician of Louis.. ville, a man of 'vast acquirements and wide observation and experience, said the other day, at a meeting of the Louis ville Cellos of Physicians and Surgeons:—" The cause of cholera has never risen to any groat height perpendicu larly, except where it has been forced up. Naturally it cannot seriously affect the second story of any good res t_ dance. Heights have always been, when properly guarded, secure refuges from cholera. Elevated buildings or high walls have been perfectly exempt, while conterminous places were ravaged. Moscow has been repeatedly invaded in the quarters along the low banks of the Moskwa, but there has never been a case of the disease in the elevated Kremlin. The monasteries with high walls in Italy, Franco, and Spain, have, with great uniformity, escaped lie disease "The cause of cholera acts alone at night and upon sleeping persons. No amount of exposure in the worst localities of the disease imperils the wakeful, m oving in dividual. I have seen hundreds of instances of this fact, sition. I have myself spent many without ono aberration from the statement of the prc felt e that locali ties during the ravages of the epidemic, and the e best giecu- I was in any.peril while•l kept awake, and rity for that is to keep in motion." So this distinguished atten tion to our sleeping other precautionary steps w ill the newspapers.

Sometimes more than 1,000 bags are received at that office or closed and forwarded in a single day. 100 100 100 all 100 100 ME NI 190 100 100 ICO 100 100 100} i 104 i 974 64 96j 86 7 1 ~... 4,
