Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE said t4s-wts; local question which the Government h taken under their entire management, and it was certainly as badly managed as it could possibly be.. i He thought the remedy would be found by placing the cabmen of this metropolis in as fair a position as drivers of public conveyances in other large towns, . by taking from them the burden of taxation which. 1 / 4 now pressed upon them. Sir CUSACK RONEY argued strongly in favour of the belief that the majority of the London cabmen were honest; indeed, he contended that crimes were very often traced by their honesty; and as to the cabmen of Paris, it was well known that they were just as ready to fleece strangers as any cabmen in this country might be supposed to do. Ile believed that the only place in which they could find a really honest cabman was in the city in which he was born —Dublin. (Loud laughter.)

The Tichborne Baronetcy. THE JAPANESE TROUPE HAVE ARRIVED. (Front the Correspondent of the Morning Post.) WINCHESTER, Tuesday. Pending the legal decision as to the rightful heir to the Tichborne estates, about which so much r nlstery has unnecessarily been made, aryl which is still continued, the public may rest assured that Sir Roger Charles Tichborne has veritably returned to the home of his fathers in this country. Letters were received last week by several per sons from Sir Roger, announcing his immediate re turn to Alresford, and on Saturday last he arrived in IVinchester, and subsequently left for Alres ford. Amongst the gentlemen to whom he communicated this intention was Mr. Edward Hopkins, solicitor, of that town. This is the family lawyer referred to in the correspondence with the Liverpool firm respecting the wreck of the Bella, and who requested particulars to lay befoie Lady Doughty Tichborne as to the fate of her son. Mr. Hopkins was requested to call upon Sir Roger at Alresford, and to dine with him on Sunday, together with several other friends who were most intimate with the "long-lost heir" before he left England. Sir Roger was Positively identified both by Mr. Hopkins and other gentlemen (some of the►n residents of this city), who spent the day in his company.

Full programme on Thursday next. Gaensee—Gaensee— Gaensee—Monday, February 11, 1867.—Great St. Martin's Hall. The CHAIRMAN, in answer to a question, said that the number of cab licenses was not limited. As far as the operation of the present law was concerned, he believed it had not been so successful as was ex pected ; but one thing was perfectly clear—viz., that although it was very easy to complain, the means of finding a remedy was not so clear. (Hear.) The only place in which free trade in public con veyances had been established was Manchester, and here the principle had not been so successful as could have been wished. In that town part of the system was to adopt two classes of carriages, and he thought it might be advisable to carry out the same system in London, and thus provide a superior class of cab for a higher.rate of fare. In justice to cabdrivers as' a body, he was bound to say that he thought they were often very hardly dealt with. The law had been pressed very rigorously against them ; but with regard to their honesty, be could assure the meeting that the "lost property" office in Scotland-yard con tained hundreds of pounds worth of deposits ; and not a day passed on which missing property was not restored to its owners. As regards the remedy for the evils complained of, an opportunity would soor i be offered, in connection with a bill about to 'be brought into Parliament for the regulation of s'exeet traffic, &c., to introduce the question of cab fares and other points of details in which the benefit of the public was concerned. The proceedings then terminated. After this, and the equally positive declaration of his mother that he is really her " dear son" once more restored, it is reasonable to assume that he is the right man, whatever Mr. Gosford or others might have said. There is not the least question that Mr. Hopkins and the Winchester gentleman referred to were particularly intimate with the whole family, and therefore capable and, I may say, trustworthy witnesses as to his identification. The great difficulty in the case is with respect to the escape of Sir Roger Tichborne from the Bella. I regret that I am unable to furnish any further account than that given on a former occasion, as detailed by Bogle. There is undoubtedly some substantial reason for the closeness observed with regard to this interesting point. Not a word can be got from any one. It appears probable that it will eventually prove that Sir Roger did not ship aboard that vessel at all. The Distress in the East of London. MANSION-HOUSE RELIEF FUND. Up to yesterday the total amount of the subscrip tions to the Mansion-house Relief Fundwas£ll,26o, leaving an available balance of £6,205. This was lessened in the course of the day by additional grants to the amount of £1,600. A meeting of the chief committee was held at 2 o'clock. There were pre sent the Lord Mayor, Mr. Sheriff Lycett, the Rev. William Rogers, Mr. John Holms, the Rev. F. U. Blom&ld, Mr. R. B. Wade, Mr. Robert Wigra:in, the Rev. T. J. Rowsell, Mr. J. P. Gassiot, Mr. Frederick Thompson, Mr. Samul Morley, Mr. R. N. Fowler, Mr. James Duke Hill, Mr. Philip Cazenove, Mr. Alfred Rothschild, Mr. Gilliat, and Mr. Gibbs. From reliable information furnished to the com mittee by local bodies it appears that in Poplar, Limehouse, and Bromley there are 32,000 people living on charity and parochial relief at this time, the whole population being about 140,000. This statement was made on authority of a deputation from those localities, of which Mr. Spence, ship builder in Limehouse, accompanied by Mr.Scrutton, another of the principal inhabitants, was spokesman. The local committee, of which they are members, are spending over£l,ooo a week, and could only relieve at the rate of 6d, a head per week. At this time 1,900 are working in the stone-yard, and that gave 'a very imperfect idea of the number actually in distress. In Poplar also 3,597 abled - bodied persons were rceiving out-door relief, as compared with 884 at this time last year. The parish was relieving at the rate of ls. and a loaf per head per week. Firms were in many places entirely extin guished. " To let," stared people in the face over works which used to give employment to consider able numbers of people, and one of the deputation said he could take the committee for three miles along ..„ But the resolving of this great difficulty, together with many others of less moment, will (as I intimated on a previous occasion) probably be discussed by the legal profession. It is quite certain that, from present appearances, possession of the estates will not be acquired without a passage through our law courts. The arrangements for the defence are already partly made. In case of a suit in Chan cery being commenced, Sir Roundell Palmer and Mr. Chapman-Barber have been retained to defend the interests of the present ward and Lady Alfred Tichborne ; whilst Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., has also been retained in the same interests for any suit that may be brought on the Western Circuit. The trial of this most extraordinary case will be looked for ward to with the most intense interest by the whole of the country. _ . Next Friday is the Tichborne audit day at Aires ford, when Sir Roger Charles Tichborne, it is con dently expected, will be present, and put in a formal claim to the estates. Rumour states that he has returned the whole of the money forwarded to him by his mother, having been very successful in Aus tralia as an agriculturist and speculator. the river side where scarcely anything was being done in shipbuilding or in any of the dependent trades. The Rev. Mr. ROWSELL, a member of the Mansion house Committee, said he had seen people sinking in their rooms in visits hehad made to those districts, and yet would not go out to seek relief from the parish. Often they had only one garment left. On these visits he never saw so many naked children, and poor women pointed to the duplicates for articles of clothing and furniture which they had been com pelled to pledge, and to the one garment in which they stood. Ho attributed the reluctance among many working men to receive parish relief to the con sideration that it would not only tend to break down their self-respect, but to disqualify them from taking advantage of benefits connected with their trade and friendly societies. Mr. SAMUEL MORLEY remarked that from the Local Relief Committee and the parish together a man with his wife and five children, living in Poplar and Limehouse, would receive 10s. 6d. a week. It was not, he said, a question with the Mansion-house Committee to ease the poor-rates, but to save life. He contended that the Poor Law ought to give enough to save life, and that if it did not it was infamous. In the Tower-hill district about £650 had been expended by a local committee in relieving 12,645 individuals from grants made chiefly by the Man sion-house Committee, and the relief now entirel y in kind, and given at the houses of the poor people. The distress was reported by Mr. John Young, jun., the chairman of the local committee, to be lessening. A few days ago a very pressing application was made to the committee for a grant by a deputa tion from St. George's-in-the-East, headed by the Rev. Mr. M‘Gill, a clergyman there. They repre sented a population of 44,000 in that parish, nearly all of whom, except a few shopkeepers, are of the labouring classes, and about half of them are out of work or in a state of destitution. The distress is attributed to a general slackness of trade; to the results of the late visitation of cholera; and the recent severe weather. The people out of work are mostly sugar refiners and labourers. The poor -rates last year were 4s. 5d., and were now equal to ss. 4d. in the pound. The total local rates this quarter were 2s. in the pound. The number of persons receiving outdoor relief • for the week ending the 19th of January was 8,576, as compared with 2,215 in the corresponding week of last year ; and the total sum paid to them in relief was £282 7s. 3d., or about Bd. a head, as compared with £lO9 7s. 4d. in the corresponding week of the previous year. The local committee, of which Mr. M'Gill is chairman, had set on foot seven soup kitchens during the present distress for the relief of the famishing people, and were supplying 768 quarts of soup daily, 768 loaves of bread, and 900 relief tickets for grocery, bread, and coals, at a daily cost of £5O. The committee made the deputation a grant of £3OO. Yesterday the committee made the following grants :—To Poplar, Limehouse, and Bromley, £l,OOO ; to the Ratcliffe Soup Kitchen, £5O ; St. Philip's, Stepney, £5O ; to the district of Tower bill, £300; Mile-end New-town, £100 ; and St Thomas, Stepney, £loo—making n all £1,600. The Rev. Mr. Rowsell stated incidentally that the Bishop of London's Committee, of which he is a member, bad up to that time distributed between £5,000 and £6,000 in relief through the parochial organisation, and the relief was given at the people's houses. The committee at their rising adjourned to Friday. PREPARED FOR A STOR3I.—A few nights ago Mr. Bodkins, who had been out taking his glass and pip e, on going home late borrowed an umbrella, and when his ife's tongue was loosened he sat up in bed and suddenly spread out the parachute.

Racing in France has of late years become quite a fashion able pursuit among tho rising generation, whose great ambition is to see their names on a race card as owners of a horse. In the case of M. A. Lupin, whose haras is now described, it is vastly different, as he takes a real interest in his haras and stud, and has spared no expense to obtain the best breeding stock in the roarket. For many years he has been the owner of a large stud of racehorses, and has always proved himself a valuable ally in the cause of good government on the Turf. M. Lupin has occupied the haras de Vaucresson, near Versailles, for the last 21 years, and has been very successful, as will be seen from the returns of the horses bred there and trained by him, and is the only French man who can boast of having two Goodwood Cups on his side board, viz., those respectively won by Jouvence and Dollar. In 1853, the first was won by Jouvence carrying sst 91b (at that time French-bred horses wore allowed 141 b and 81b for not having won in England). This was the first French-bred horse that had won a large race iu England, and the owner netted about £4,000 on it, Jouvence starting at 10 to 1 agst her. The following are some of the princi pal horses bred at this haras and trained by M. Lupin. The first horse of any note was Fiametta, who won the Poule d'Essai in 1841, and from that time to 1818 nothing re markable came out, although 4. L . urin won his first Prix de Diane (or Oaks) with S 117416, itr 1815. In 1818 he won the Poule d'Essai and Derby with Gambetti ; this horse also won several other races. In 1830 he won the Foulo d'Essai and Derby with St. Germain, by Atilla. • In the suc:eeding year he also won the Derby with Amalfi. In 1853 he won the Prix de Diane and Derby with Jouvence, who also won besides the Goodwood Cup the same year, the Surrey and Middlesex Handicap and Queen's Plate at Egham ; at five years old this mare ran nine times in France and won eight, being in foal the last year when she won. In 1857 he won the Derby with Potocki, and the same year carried off the Poule d'Essai with Florin. His horse was then a great favourite for the Derby, but unfortunately fell soon after starting, and gave Kitchener, his jockey, a bad fall, but, notwithstanding this contretemps, the stable had the good luck to win the race with Potocki. In 1858 the first meeting was held at Baden-Baden, where La Maladetta carried off the 'Grand Prix for M. Lupin, the start for which forms the subject of the oil-painting so well known to Continental sportsmen. In 1863 Dollar, then three years old, won the Prix de l'Empereur of 1,042 soya (one mile and a quarter) at Paris Spring; was second in the French Derby to La Toucques (16 horses ran); won the Prix Principal of 417 sovs at Versailles ; was second to La Toacquos in the Grand Prix at Baden, beating Stra della (two miles and a quarter); at Paris Autumn won a Prix Principal of 160 sovs ; in 1864 he won the Northamp tonshire Stakes of 1,205 sovs, with 7st 91b, beating 17 horses ; won the Grand Prix de l'lmperatrice of 600 soya at Paris April ; won the Prix de l'Empereur of 160 sovs at Paris June ; won the Goodwood Cup with 9st (two miles ' and a half); won the Brighton Cup (two miles), giving Little Stag 291 b ; ran second to Vermont in the Grand ' Prix at Baden, giving him 201 b for the year, and Fille de l'Air was third, receiving 171 b for the year from Dollar. The haras de Vaucresson is situated about three miles and a half from the historical town of Versailles, the road from thence being partly through the forest, and hilly. The extent of the ground occupied by this establishment is about 80 acres of good grass land, which is subdivided into several paddocks, and is surrounded by a high stone wall on one side, and a plantation on the other. Imme diately on entering the gates on the right-band side is a small cottage occupied by Fanor, the stud groom ; he is a Frenchman, and has lived seven years withM. Lupin ; the stock under his charge are all looking healthy and well, and their appearance, particularly that of the stallions, reflects great credit on him. 0 wing to the small space at Vaucresson many of the brood mares and the stallions are at present lo cated at Viroflay, where M. Lupin has hired the stalks and about 15 acres of ground for their accommodation. This ground was formerly occupied as a tiaras by the late Duke of Morny, and the duchess still retains the pleasure-ground and a portion of the paddocks, in one of which I saw a favourite old mare, called Quiz (27 years old), the dam of Quaker. At a short distance from this ground is a small chateau which is used as a summer residence occasionally by the Duchess of Morny and her family. Virofk.y is a station on the Paris and Versailles line of railway, and is barely three miles from Vaucresson, and about three quarters of an hour by rail from Paris, and the haras is situated close to the station. THE STALLIONS. Stentor, by De Clare—Songstress, by Irish Birdcatcher, her dam, Cyprian, by Partisan (bred by M. Lupin, at the haras de Vaucresson, in 1860), is a bright bay, standing over 16h. 2in., with a good head and neck, capital shoulders, good back and loins. His arms are long and muscular, also good quarters and thighs, and hocks free from blemish. He is, in fact, a very powerful thorough bred horse, with much quality. Steutor only ran once, and won the Poule d'Essai in 1863 in a canter. Ho then be came a great favourite for the Derby, and his owner had a very high opinion of his chance for that race, even with Dollar, but ho unfortunately net with an accident iu train ing before the Derby, which prevented his ever starting again. His breeding is unexceptionable, being descended from Touchstone through his sire, and from Irish Bill catcher and Partisan on the dam's side ; and Do Clare is by Touchstone—Miss Bowe by Catton. He had 11 mares 1 last year, all of which are in foal, and will be located the ensuing season at the haras de Viroflay at 4 soya each mare. Dollar, by the Flying Dutchman, out of Payment by Slane, her dam Receipt by Rowton (bred by M. Lupin, in 1860, at Vaucresson), is a dark bay, without white, stand ing about lbh. 3in. ; he has a particularly good head and neck well set on ; well placed shoulders, rare back and loins, and powerful quarters ; and may 133 termed a very true shaped short-legged horse. Dollar was let last season to the Rawcliffe Stud Company for 600 sovs, and M. Lupin could send three mares gratis, and Limosina, Officious, and Queen of the May were his selected, and all three are in foal. Mr. Bowes also sent throe, viz.—Forget-me-Not, Go-ahead, and Old Orange Girl ; and Charity, Silver Hair, Queen Bee, Black-eyed Susan, and Buckingham's dam were among the lot which visited him. He will be located at this haras for the ensuing season, and his services will be for the advantage of breeders at 24 sovs each mare and 20fr. to the groom ; also good accommodation for mares and foals. Fifteen or 16 mares, the property of his owner , 1 will be sent to him the ensuing season. The following table will show the age and pedigree of the brood mares at this hares ; _. . . Foaled in Queen of the May, by Sir Hercules—Myrrha ; in foal to Dollar 1845 Honeymoon, by Conium ; in foal to Tournament ... 1845 Officious, by Pantaloon—Baleino by Whalebone ; bought from the late Duke of Richmond ; in foal to Dollar 1847 Payment (Dollar's d.), by Slane—Receipt ; bred in England ; bought from Mr. Ford; in foal to Nabob 1843 Songstress, by Irish Birdcatcher—Cyprian, winner of Oaks in 1836, (bred by Mr. J. Scott, who sold her to M. Lupin); in foal to Monarque ... 1849 Lysisca, by Sting—Cossioa, by Touchstone ; in foal to Stentor *lB5l Chatelaine, by the Baron —Deception, whiner of Oaks in 1839; in foal to Stentor *1854 La Maladetta, by the Baron—Refraction, winner of Oaks in 1845 ; in foal to Nabob ▪ 1855 Impericuse, by Orlando—Eulogie ; bred in England, slipped one foal to the Flying Dutchman *1 854 Calpurnia, by lon—Lysisca; in foal to Stentor ... 1856 Noreido, by Ion —Jelly Fish; in foal to Stentor ... *1856 Rosiere, by lon —Queen of the May; in foal to Stentor *lB5B Sauvagine, by lon—Cuckoo ; barren ▪ 1859 Limosina, by Newminster —Charity, by Melbourne (bred in England, imported to France in 1864) ; in foal to Dollar ••• ••• ••• ••• .. 1859 Pergola, by the Baron—Officious ; in foal to Stentor *lB6O Arrogante, by Cossack—lmperieuse; in foal to Stentor *lB6l Birette, by the Flying Duchman—Amulette ; in foal to Stentor ••• ••• •" ••• Senorita, by the • Flying Dutchman—Lola Montes ; in foal to Stentor .. ••• ••• ••• 1862 Bartavello, by Florin —Cuckoo ; in foal to Ranger... *1862 Deliane, by the Flying Dutchman—lmperiouse ; in in foal to Stentor ••• ••• ••• .. 1862 Those marked thus'' are at the haras do Viroflay. After perusing the pedigrees of the above 20 mares, it will be seen that M. Lupin possesses some of the best brood mares in England or France, many of them well known celebrities of their day, and whose names are in separably associated with that of the veteran trainer, Mr. John Scott, of Malton. Among these are Songstress, winner of the Oaks in 1852 (her dam, Cyprian, won the Oaks in 1836), and Imperieuse, winner of the One Thou sand Guineas at Newmarket, and Doncaster St. Leger in 1857. Songstress was both bred and trained at White wall, and has grown into a remarkably fine lengthy mare, but her stock have not been fortunate, for, with the excep tion of Stentor, who won the Poule d'Essai in 1863, she has not produced such animals as might have been expected from her good breeding and her form as a race horse. Imperious° was also trained by John Scott, and was bought by M. Lupin at the same time as Songstress; the former is a lengthy, well-shaped mare, but on a smaller scale, and her best produce has been Vaucresson and Deliane ; the former (by Warlock, winner of the Doncaster St. Leger in 1856) has won several races and steeplechases; snd Deliane won the Prix' de Diane at Chantilly in a canter in 1865, beating Lana itookh and ... 18G1 La Fortune, second and third, and cigJit others, but (lid nothing afterwards but disappoint her owner, and the following year was put to the stud ; she i. .now in foal. to Stentor, and has very much improved in appearance. Songstress and Lnperiense, these two former Malton cele brities, are still remembered with interest by their late owner, John Scott, who invariably inquires after them each yearly visit I pay to his stable, Songstress havii/gbeen espe cially one of his greatest favourities. Another mare de serving special notice is Limosina, who was bought by M. Lupin in 1861, and imported to France the same year. She is one of the finest mares in this establishment, stand ing about 16 handsligh, and although so large and pl.'wer f tiny made she is the picture of a thoroughbred racehoise. Her career on the turf was not fortunate, as, strange to say, I she ran second for the Cambridge in 1862, and second for , the Cesarewitch in 1863, and her sister (Gratitude) hold the same position in the Cesarewitch in 1864 and 1865. La Maladetta can boast of a rare pedigree, being by the Baron, winner of the Doncaster St. Leger, out of Refraction, win ner of the Oaks. She is a fine lengthy mare, with plenty substance. Payment, the dam of Florin, Dollar, and Maravedis, is a remarkable fine-shaped, short-legged mare, and the performances of her stock have brought her owner in many a round sum, Dollar's career as a racehorse hav ing alone placed her among the first brood mares in France Queen of the May is a great favourite of M. Lupin's, and is an extraordinarily clever-shaped, lengthy, short-legged mare, combining power and quality. Chatelaine is well deserving of notice ; also Honeymoon and Officious. Boxes are situated nearly in the centre of the haras, in which were six yearling colts, and of these I preferred a boy colt by Nabob—lmperieuse, and a bay colt by Stouter —Honeymoon ; the latter is a fine lengthy colt, with good arms and good back, and although foaled on the 30th April is now a good size ; this is the first of Stentor's stock, and certainly augurs well for the future. Also deserving of notice was a strong, powerful brown colt by The Flying Dutchman—Calpurnia. The colt by Nabob—Payment (Dollar's dam) was rather small, although lengthy. The most noticeable of the fillies was a bay by Newminster— La Maladetta. The filly by Mouarque—Songstress, was small but very neat. M. Lupin has generally about 25 horses in training, and has stabling and a house at Chantilly, but at the end of last year the horses were removed to La Croix, near Compiegne, where M. Lupin has taken M. Mosselman's stables, which were formerly occupied by the late Duke de Morny. His horses are under the care of his private' trainer, C. Hayhoe, who trained Dollar for all his engagements, and brought hire to the post in first-rate condition. The stable is also fortunate in having so good a jockey as Kitchener, his light weight being of such,use in handicaps. The hay used at the haras, and in the training stables at La Croix, is all grown on the establishment at Vaucreison, where it is got up after the English custom, and stacked in large sheds, covered at the top, and open on each side, a plan very rarely adopted in France, and it is not used in the training stable till the second year. Naval and Military Intelligence. Mr. Richardson is now engaged in the Factory department of Woolwich dockyard, with the Admi ralty petroleum boiler, which he has been permitted to use until 'Tuesday next, in order to exhibit his process of employing shale oil, creasote, &c., as fuel, by carbonising and burning water gas, so as to eva porate with 11b. of oil from 161 b. to 201 b. of water, The boiler is in full operation ten hours each day. and many scientific persons are in daily attendance. Her Majesty's screw gunvessel Speedwell, Com mander James E. Erskine (August 4, 1862), from the West Coast of Africa, having been inspected at the powder buoy off Woolwich Arsenal, by Com modore Superintendent Edmonstone and Mr. Lory, Naval Secretary, yesterday went into the outer basin at the dockyard, and commenced dismantling, in preparation for being paid out of commission, as ordered, on Saturday, the 16th inst. She was fitted for service at Woolwich, and commissioned in Sept., 1863, the whole of the officers having been since re moved with the exception of the Assist.-Paymaster in charge, Edward S. M. Power, who has returned with the ship to Woolwich. The paddlewheel steam storevessel Dee, on par ticular service, Master-Commander George Ray mond, with stores from the Western yards, entered the outer basin yesterday in Woolwich dockyard to discharge her cargo and reload with steam gear ; and the Megcera, Capt. Simpson, went down to "Woolwich, laden with naval provisions, &c., from Deptford, to complete her cargo for Gibraltar and Malta. The Lord Clyde, 23, armoured screw frigate, 4,0G7 tons, 1,000 horse power, Capt. Roderick Dew, C. 8., arrived at Spithead yesterday morning, from Plymouth Sound, and on entering the anchorage exchanged salutes with the Victory, the flagship of the Port Admiral, Sir Thomas S. Pasley, K.C.B. The Lord Clyde has arrived at Spithead, by Admi ralty order, to test her speed over the measured mile in Stokes Bay, under similar conditions to those observed with the Warrior, Minotaur, Belle rophon, and other ironclads previously tried there. She will make her trial to-day if the weather permit. The Cossack, 20, unarmoured screw corvette, 1,296 tons, 250 home power, Capt. R. D. White, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning on her return to England from her term of foreign - service in the Mediterranean, and on anchoring exchanged salutes with the flagship of the Port Admiral. She has brought home a few naval and military invalids and supernumeraries. It is expected that she will pro ceed from Spithead to Sheerness to be dismantled and paid out of commission. The Pandora, 5, screw, gunvessel, 426 tons, 80 horse power, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from the West Coast of Africa, on the completion of her term of foreign service. She is expected to go into Portsmouth harbour to be dismantled and paid out of commission. The Charybdis, 17, unarmoured screw corvette, 1,506 tons, 400 horse power, Capt. A.M. L. Lyons, left Spithead yesterday afternoon, under steam, on the commencement of her voyage to her destined station, the coast of Australia, but anchored for the night in St. Helen's roads, owing to the stormy weather. The Terrible, 19, paddle frigate, Capt. John E. Commerell, V.C., C. 8., under orders to sail from Spithead for the Mediterranean, had steam up at sunset last evening, and fired a gun, with theblue peter hoisted, as a signal for sailing. Most probable, however, she would not leave Spithead until daylight this morning, a strong N.W. gale pre- The Vulcan, screw, iron troopship, in No. 4,Dock at Portsmouth, has been sold out of the Royal Navy for the sum of £5,000. The purchaser has made a good bargain with the Admiralty, the machinery, new boilers, and spare gear being alone worth the money. The Admiralty, however, are pursuing a policy of true economy in getting rid of useless vessels at any price, the cost of keeping them on the lists of the steam reserves and preserving their hulls and machinerybeing at a rate that soon equals their real value. The colonelcy of the 17th Regiment of Lancers has become vacant by the death of General Sir James Maxwell Wallace, K.H., at Northallerton, on Sunday last, aged 82. He entered the army in 1805 as cornet. While serving at the Cape of Good Hope, as captain of the 21st Light Dragoons, he was sent in command of a squadron of that regi ment into Caffraria with Brigadier-Gen. Graham's expedition, which in seven months of severe work drove the Caffres across the Great Fish River. Ile also served in the campaign of 1815, and was pre sent in action at Quatre Bras, the retreat on the 17th of June, and the ba ttle of Waterloo. The late General's commissions bore date as follows : Cornet, Aug. 14, 1805 ; Lieut., June 5, 1806 ; Captain, Oct. 22, 1807 ; Major, Jan. 1, 1817 ; Lieut.-Col., Sept., 25, 1823 ; Col., June 28, 1838 ; Major-General, Nov. 11, 1851 ; Lieut.-General, Feb. 6, 1855 ; General, June 8, 1863 ; and Colonel, 17th Lancers, Jan. 28, 1854. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty :—Lieut. F. Edwards, to the Heli con ; Lieut. G. R. Bell, to the Lion, additional, for service in tender ; Sub-Lieut. Sidney G. Smith, to the Rodney ; Sub-Lieut. Marcus L. Bridges, to the Racoon ; Francis H. Logan, midshipman, to the Royal Alfred ; C. B. Neate, E. B. Brietzcke, G. M. Manse], and Frank R. Robinson, midshipmen, to the Racoon ; J. L. Crawley, midshipman, to the Cab Fares in the Metropolis. Last evening a meeting of the Society of Arts took place at the rooms, John-street, Adelphi—Sir Richard Mayne, chief commissioner of the metro- - - politan police, in the chair. The subject brought under discussion was introduced by Mr. Henry Cole, C. 8., " On the existing legislation in reference to the cab fares in the metropolis, and their effect in rendering the vehicles inferior to those provided in other European capitals and the large municipal towns of this country." _ _ Mr. COLE commenced by observing that his ob ject on the present occasion was not to interfere with the law in regard to cabs and their manage- ment, but to bring forward the question as to the fares. He considered that the law which stated that a cab must go a certain distance for 6d. was a very great mistake, and against the experience and prac tice of almost every other town in Europe. He ad mitted that it was necessary there should be some system of supervision, but he had arrived at this conviction, that on the whole we have in London the meanest cabs in the world. He did not intend to say they were the worst, or that they were very bad indeed, bat that they were an extremely low average. If they could by any magic wand summon up au exhibition of cabs from the principal cities of Europe and marshal them in Trafalgar-square, he believed they would be found (with the exception of the hansom cabs) to be very low indeed in the scale of quality. He rested the case he was endeavouring to establish upon evidence such as the following : In the 10th report of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue, published only three days ago, it was stated that it must be admitted that our four-wheeled cabs are a disgrace to the metropolis of a great empire— that the custom of needy men setting up cabs for themselves was increasing, while the number of pro prietors was diminishing. This must be regarded as a very significant fact, showing that there was something rotten in the present state of affairs. The next witness to whose evidence he would allude was their excellent chairman, Sir It. Mayne. That gen tleman had stated as his opin ion in good Saxon lan guage that our cabs were bad, that the fares were too low, and that he did not think there ought to be any sixpenny fare at all. Now, he (Mr. Cole) was not prepared to go so far as that, for he thought that there was no objection to a sixpenny fare (pro vided the public determined upon that amount) but he could not conceive why that sum more than any other should be fixed as the maximum charge for a mile. The control and supervislhiodnthteoeewnheieclhecenabees were subjected were inefficient, was that the cabs were drawn m was stated by the greatest oblerhno.rnsoesvewlishti,cwil'easre otenlzhkieehptthoeny wtehreeiratletageshebx (Laughter.)

The springs were weak, and passengers were in danger of having their noses allayed off when the windows were let down in wet weather. (Laughter.) The cabs were a great deal better in Birmingham, Liverpool, Edin burgh, Paris, Vienna, Lyons, Munich, Brussels, &c. Mr. Cole then proceeded to advance a variety of de tails to show that the system adopted in the places he had mentioned was far preferable to that pur , sued in London, and might be carried out with con siderable advantage in this metropolis. Amongst other authorities who had expressed an opinion on the subject, Mr. John Bright had stated that the defective cab system had arisen from the want of a proper municipal government in London ; and his (Mr. Cole's) own conviction was that it was highly desirable that the Legislature should cease to meddle in such petty matters as this, and resolve to leave the trade as free as possible. He agreed in the ad visability of a cabdriver being compelled to take out a license, and being subjected to a certain kind of supervision ; but he himself was the best judge as to what he might sell his article for. He thought the council of this society might reasonably urge upon theCroyernment the desirability of looking into NOTICE OF RE SIOV AL. - - - - - • -- JDEFRIES - and SONS' .
