THE SEBASTOPOL COMMITTEE. A message was brought up by Mr. ROEBUCK, and other members of the committee, asking permission for the attendance of the Rtil of Aberdeen. The LORD CHANCELLOR said their lordships would send an answer by a messenger of their own. The Earl of WICKLOW said he would not oppose the second reading of this bill, but he hoped that the progress of it would be so delayed in order that the fish• ermen and fishmongers of England might have an op portunity of presenting petitions against the bill. After a few worM from the Earl of 3LuzlEsßuivi and L rd CAMPBELL, The bill was read a second time. TRANSFER OF CHURCH PATRONAGE.

MOLES WORTH Faid the Gnvernment nsu- Lily, in cases Of public parks, purchased more land than vas required for the area of the park, and that had been lone in the case of Victoria as well as the other parks. THE ALDERSHOT ENCAMPMENT. In reply to Mr. B ELLEW , _ Mr. PEEL said it was not intended to keep the troops in huts at Aldershot during the winter, but pre- Aarations were being made to procure houses as barracks (or them. LORD DUNDONALD'S PLANS. In renly to Mr. FRENCH, Lord PALMERSTON said the subject of Lord Dun onald's plans was at present under the consideration if scientific men, but he thought it advisable not to enter alto the subject at present. In reply to Sir J. PAKINGTON, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said with respect to Church discipline, which at present was a subject of .rest reproach, a bill on that subject was prepared by or at least under his direction, at the same tone as the Testamentary Jurisdiction Bill. When the oil' was introduced it had not been submitted to the Go vernment. It had since been submitted to them, and ,hey thought it right that the opinion of the right rev. Telates should be had on it. It had been submitted to them accordingly, and they had not yet returned it; but 'le could state the bill was prepared on the principle of ',Feating the churches of England and Ireland as one Church, and be was not aware of any other legal prin ciple on which it could be framed. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the time for the introduction of the bill, the house would see it was impossible for him to say when it could be brought in. It could not be brought in be lore the second reading of the Testamentary Jurisdic tion Bill, seeing they were in the middle of an adjourned debate on that bill. But he hoped it would be brought in before the third reading of the latter bill. The Government had not the slightest intention of abandoning the Tes tamentary Jurisdiction Bill. It was impossible they could have the second reading of that bill to-morrow, but certainly they should have it on the first opportunity when the more pressing business of Government would allow. (Hear.) With regard to the Matrimonial Di vorce 8,11, it had been prepared in time for the second reading of the Testamentary Jurisdiction Bill, but the same causes that delayed the other bills operated also with regard to it. (Hear.) THE CANDIA TRANSPORT. Mr. MOODY asked the Under-Secretary for War the eause of the detention of the Candia, and whether demurrage was to be paid, and, if any, to what amount per day, and from what date for such detention ; also, whether any special report as to her sea-worthiness had been recently made, that the lives of those sent out in her might not he endangered. Mr. F. PEEL said that, according to the information he had received, the detention of the vessel was caused by an opinion expressed by the officers at Woolwich un favourable to the manner in which she had been fitted up. In consequence of that opinion, the members of ~he transport board inspected the vessel, and satisfit d themselves that there was no ground for apprehensien on that score, and accordingly the vessel had proceeded sea, after a detention of four or five days only. No lemurrage had been paid, as the vessel was a hired one. THE CANTERBURY DUEL. In reply to Mr. 0. STANLEY, Mr. F. PEEL said he believed an investigation was now being made into the circumstances attending the late transactions at Canterbury, and the hostile meeting, ~ r " m ck duel." as it bad been termed, between two Ifficers of the Enniskillen Dragoons. As he had, how ever, no intimation that the bon. member would put 'ouch a question to-day, and was consequently not pre pared to answer it satisfactorily, tie wuuld beg its post ponewent until to-morrow. Mr. STANLEY said he would renew the question to morrow. THE VIENNA NEGOTIATIONS. Mr. BRIGHT said he wished to a-( the noble lord at the head of the Government a question arising out of .:he protocols which had been laid upon the table of the nouse. He observed in the last protocol that there was a passage which gave the opinion of the Austrian Go vernment with regard to the Russian propositions for peace. The Austrian minister stated that the propositions seemed to him to admit of a practical application, that it admitted, at all events, of discussion, and contained all the elements out of which Austria would endeavour to offer something which might lead to a settlement of the question now at issue. He wished to ask the noble lord whether Austria had submitted any proposition since the 26th April, which was the date of the last pro tocol, and whether he would be able to lay that proposi tion before the house as distLctly as the other propositions before the house t He should like also to ask whether any other proposition— and there was a strong rumour of one having come from Paris—had been received ; and further, if they were to understand that the nego tiations were formally closed ? He did so, because be should not like to bring forward any motion relative to the negotiations if be thought they were not absolutely terminated. (Hear, hear.) Lord PALMERSTON said there had been no formal or written proposal from Austria of the nature alluded to by the hon. gentleman. Verbal communications bad passed between the representatives of the Austrian Go. vernment and those of the English and French Govern ments, and also between the representatives of the French and English Governments; but lie was sure the hon. gentleman would perceive that the relations subsisting between the two Governments it would not be at all a ivantageous to give a detailed explanation with regard to them. With respect to the question as to the nego tiations tieing entirely broken off, his answer would be similar to that he had given on a former occasion namely, that their were the elements of a C 4 nference still at Vienna, in the persons of the Minister s 04 Briton, France, Austria, and Turkey, and there fore, if at any time propositions should be mad by Russia directly, or by Austria on her behalf which appeared to alter the state of affairs, or to offer a fair prospect of bringing the negotiations to a successful termination—there were the means and elements for receiving them still at Vienna. BRIGEIT wished to know whether the house was to understand that the 'water WAR in suet, a condition • hat any motion with regard to those negotiations, and be fullest discussion of t hem would not be opposi d by he Government as prejedicial t, the public service. Lord PALMERSTON said the hon. gentleman must use his Own discretion with regard to that poiht. If his (LiTed Palmerston's) opiiiion was asked, he did not think my public advantage w. uld arise, but he could imagine thst cirtain inconvenience might result from the Government being compelled in the present .tate of things to 3vter into a detailed discussion upon • hat had pa,se.l. That was his own opinion, but he did not presume to dictate to the hen. gentleman. Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice on the part of her Majesty's Government that it was his intention to in troduce two bills with reLrence to the constitution, &c., of Australia. Mr. DISRAFLI asked the noble lord at the head of h-r Majesty's Government if he understood the noble lord to say that the business of the house would com mence to-morrow with the adjourned debate on the newspaper stamp, and the financial measures after ? Lord PAL ME RSTON—Yes. INDIAN ARMY. Lord PALMERSTON moved that the orders of the day be postponed till after the notice of motion on the Indian army. Sir E. PERRY then rose to move for a select com mittee to consider and inquire how the army of India may be made most available for the war in Europe, and to inquire into the steps necessary to be taken if it should be deemed expedient to constitute the army of the East India Company a Royal army. (LEFT SPEAKING.) TlnvfitilinN t PENTTING, MAY 10. 1051: 'arse never suppesed the fruop 4 would have wintered in the Crimea, because it was expect-el they wou d hive been in Seble-t in a week. He was once in Belaklava harbour, and thought it emal', and there were vessels enough in the harbour at the time of the loss of the Prince : the arrangements fur the harbour he left to Achnii al Boxer. He could not have trans ported the troops easier from Constantinople than front Varna. He did not consider himself answerable for the transport service, that befiz left to Lord Raglan, Admi ral Boxer, and Captsin Christie. He considered " Boxer a very useful fellow, but not very polished"— (laughter)—and he never had any occasion to represent his conduct to Lord Raglan. The first intimation be had to fit up hospital ships was from Sir James Graham, but they were not fitted up properly for the large num ber of sick and wounded brought on board, the number being larger than they had ever anticipated. If more had been fitted up there would have been a deficiency of ships for horses and baggage. His fleet was well-man ned, but he bad not s a sufficiency of assistant-surgeons. He was able to procure plenty of fresh meat, though not of the best quality. . The gallant Admiral's evidence was then closed, and probably much shortened from many of the questions put to him, but which were not answered, involving reference to the demands made on the French for assist ance. The room was uga'n cleared, and, after deliberating half-an-hour, the committee adjourned at half-past three. ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL COM- MITTEE. (Continuation of the Right Hon. Sidney Herbert's evidence.) General Peel—What authority had you over the mili tia ?—I had the same authority over the militia that I had over the army—namely, a financial authority. Had you any power to embody regiments or to select regiments for embodiment l—No ; that was a matter entirely in the hands of the Secretary of State. He merely recommended regiments for embodiment to Lord Palmerston. Towards the beginning of November be got together a good deal of information as to the best mode of recruiting the army, and he came to the conclu sion that he should act with greater probability of suc cess through the medium of the militia than by any other means. He circulated a memorandum among the mem bers of the Government more directly interested in the subject, and my views having been adopted by the Go vernment, when Lord Palmerston went to Paris for two days in November, he asked him to authorise the Home office to call out any regiments he might specify. He used that authority by calling out and embodying certain regiments. . . . . Mr. Layard—ln what relation did your department stand with respect to the Horse Guards ?—My depart ment was purely a financial one. Do you know that Lord Hardinge was consulted by the Cabinet as to what took place in the East ?—Cer- Did the Cabinet act upon the report of Lord Har dinge ?—Lt,rd Hardinge drew up schemes for the orga nisation of the army, which were acted upon. Not for operattnns in the field ? —Nut ill any respect. The state of things with respect to the hospitals at Scutari being such as you have described, did it occur to you to inform Lord Hardinge that somebody had not done his duty 7—l think Lord Hardinge perfectly agreed with me that somebody was to blame, but the difficulty was to lay our hands on the right man. Did you ascertain, in communication with Lord Har dinge, who that somebody was ?—Even to this moment I hesitate to fix the blame upon any one individual. The Chairman—Do you think there are more than one ?—The public have the impression that the system was very much to blame, and that the alteraton of the system would remove the evil. Ido not believe, how ever, that the difference between one sy-tem and another is nearly so great as between une man and another. A bad system will work well with s good man, but a good system will not work well with an inferior man. In consequence of the long peace no one has seen any mili tary operations on a large scale, and the various officials were frightened at the respon , ibility and expense they might incur. It has been said by Dr. A. Smith, and the remark will apply to other persons, that he was months before he could bring himself to believe that he coull spend as touch money as he pleased. During 40 years' peace has the >ystem improved or gone down ?—lt is better for some purposes and worse for others. Where did the Duke of Wellington acquire his expe. rience ? Had he not many difficulties to contend with —Originally, I should think he had. His experience was gained in India !—Yes. Do ymi think that tin) battles in which he was engaged in India were greater than the battles that have taken place during the last 20 years ?—That is a matter of opinion. The Chairman—You say it is better to have a bad system with a good man than to have a good system with a bad man. But what would you do supposing you had a bad system and bad men tool—ln that case you must try and reform your system, and experience will soon show you who are the good men. Lord Seymour—The Duke of Newcastle expressed his approval of the manner in which his subordinates had discharged their duties. Were you satisfied with the manner in which the various duties connected with your department were discharged ?—I am bound, in grati tude to the gentlemen employed in the War-office, to say that I believe it is the best con4tituted office under the Crown. My subordinate; worked with great zeal. I made great demands upon their time ; their office hours were lengthened, but I never heard a murmur. Never was a man better served by his subordinates than I was. The promotions in that office go by merit, and not by seniority, though occasionally that rue has been departed from. But the result of the system was not good. There was a constant strain upon every person employed, and whenever promotions were made I was met by reproaches and remonstrances from persons who considered themselies to have been passed over. Lat terly clerks have been introduced at the bottom of the list by means of examination. Did you find, practically, that the separation of the Secretaryship of the Colonies from the office of Secre tary for War was a great arivantage ? Very great, indeed. In fact, it would have been i•upossible to carry on the war without separating the two offices. Did you make any proposal to Government for any further change the first place, I proposed to the Dike of Newcastle, with a view to correct certain evils, that there should be periodical meetings of the War De partment, the head of the military departments and my self, so that whatever orders were given should be given to each in the presence of all. The Chairman—Was that proposal adopted ?—lt was ; but, subsequently, the Government catne to the conclusion that would be well to give these meetings a more formal character. An order in Council was therefore obtained fixi' g the meetings, and potting cer tain necessary limitations upon the powers of a military hoard. Lord Seymour—Are the committee to tmderstand that, in consequence of the organisation of the various departments not beieg satisfsctory, you recommended these periodical meetings ?—I was desirous that the whole financial bu-iness of the Ordnance should be con sidered at a board such as I proposed, and that the powers of the Board of Ordnance should be confiued to the materiel of the army. The plan was agreed to. I drew up a letter fr r the Duke' of Newcastle to the Pre sident of the Council, applying for an order in council, but in the meantime a motion was made in the House of Commons, which terminated in the disruption of the Government. It was not intended that the board should have any executive functions as a board,- but the whole power al:d authority were to remain in the hands of the Secretary of State. The members of the board were to advise with him, and to receive his orders in his presence. Such a system as that might have been adopted in August or September last ?—No, I think not ; because it is very important in matters of this kind not to make too sudden a disturbance of the existing state of things. A very small disturbance drranges the method of de partments, and it would not have been prudent to re model the whole without some experience as to what ought to be done. The change I proposed was this : That the Board should consist of the Secretary of State, who shout' be assisted and advised by th.e Commander in -Chief, the Master-General of the Ordnance, if there was one, a Commissary-General, and the Secretary at War. The Secretary at War would have exercised a wholesome check over the expenditure of the army, and would have moved the estimates, not only for the army, but for the Ordnance and Commissariat, and the House of Commons would have been enabled to obtain at one view the gross expenses of the army, with the exception of the materiel, the Ordnance remaining purely a manu facturing establishment. • Would - that have brought the War Department into something resembling the organisation of the Admiralty ? —Yes ; ouly I think the authority of the Secretary of State would have been more defined than in the Admiralty. Mr. Ellice— But you would not necessarily have made the Secretary of State a member of the Board I—l think that where there is a Board the President of the Board should always be there. I would not have had the busi ness of the War Department conducted by a Board, but all I propos ed was, that the Secretary of State should summon the heads of various departments to give him their advice and receive his orders. The board would have consisted of the Commander-in-Chief to govern the army, the 31:aster-General of the Ordnance to arm and equip the a rniy, the Secretary-at-War to control the finance of the army, and a Commissary-General to feed the army. Mr. Ellice— -Entertaining these opinions, do you think it was prudent just at the time the war broke out to render the mac iiinery of the different departments less efficient than ;,t bad been during a time If peace—in point of fact, to attempt to c;;rry on the admii:istration of the army mit hunt t Master-General of the Orlbance or a Surveyor it the Thant of Ordnance I—The ca, , e of 'the Master-G, metal was a peculiar one. It was thought that Lord Ra i ;fan was 'peculiarly qualified for the ser vice he had in Land, bu . :, if he had been retained here as Master-Genera the country would hare been deprived of his services ; and, on the other hand, there was an ofEct r of great experience who. could he placed at, the head of thept) tannel of - the Ordnance- , -namely, Sir Hew Ross. Sir Hew R ass has stated that the authority of the Mater-Genet al is paramount, but that he (Sir H. Ross) could not su pers.:de the authority of the Board ?—Sir Thomas H4s. ;in gs states that according to his patent the Lieutenant-Cler .eral ..f tht Ordnance had all the autho rity of the N o Aer•General. But Sir Her v Rua: has stated that he had not that authority neral, in the .bsence of the Master-General had supreme should imagine that the Lieutenant-Ge authority. • _ . - T heittee rose M 10 minutes to four o'clock. DIL!,r I ADPUL esIIIPIYizt.CK uP TIIM Joill%l —.FRIGUTFUL b' SS OF LIFE. The following is a more detailed account of this dread ful and fatal wi eck than has yet been published : One of the most distressing and me atcholy cases of shipwreck ever remembered on the west. rn shores took place on Thursday night last, on the Mena.&es Rock, off St. Kererne, on the coast of Carnwal. Tne unfortunate barque, the John, of Plymouth, Captain R twle, left Plymouth Sound on the afternoon of Thursday, bound for Quebec, having on board 149 adult passengers. 98 children, and 16 infants, together with a crew, in all, of 19 ; making the total number of souls on board 232. The passengers were principally from the north of Devon, the great source of American emigration in the west of England ; numbers from other parts of that county ; and the remainder from the counties of Cornwall, Dorset, and Somerset—in fact, she was considered what is termed a west-country ship, Numbers of the friends of the unfortunate passengers accompanied them to Plymouth to bid a farewell, and, as the melancholy sequel proved, a last adieu to many of those whom they loved and respected. The departure of the ship was witnessed and cheered by numerous persons assembled on the Hoe. She left the Sound at four p.m., on the top of ebb tide, with a favourable wind off the land ; and all bid fair for a rapid and prosperous voyage down Channel. How these hopes were blighted it appears impossible to say, so varied are the accounts furnished by those who have been spared to tell of the catastrophe ; all seem, however, to unite in a complaint of mismanagement against the captain, and so embittered were the survivors towards him that it is stated the coastguard were obliged to afford him protection from their fury. But whether this anger arose from a belief that 'the accident was the result of inattention on his part—or that: the captain and crew saved themselves, as stated, to the sacrifice of the pas sengers—or, in fact, what gave rise to this angry feeling in all, it would be wrong to say until evidence shall be taken, as it may be 'eas:ly imagined that parents made childless, husbands widowers, and children parentless— men who had left bowie full of hopes for the future, end most of whom, even if free from the sad embitterment of loss of wife, husband, or child, had lost all the wealth probably they were possessed of in the world, would give vent to complainitige against one to whose charge they had entrusted both life and property. The scene when the vessel struck, as may be antici pated, was most distressing ; the utmost confusion pre vailed, and most of those on board gave themselves up in despair. The account rendered by one of the pas sengers is most heart-rending, though of the chat so ter of all similar disasters, except that human sympathy was in this case the more excited from the number of children on board, and from the extraor dinary efforts of their parents to ere them from the death impending. One of the passengers, William Walton, a man of apparently sickly and delicate con stitution, succeeded, as the vessel settled in the water, in taking his wife and six children into the rigging one by one—the youngest unfortunately fell from the mother's arms into the sea ; the father, though unable to swim, plunged after it, but failed in his noble effort to save his child, and with difficulty regained the ship. Another, William Clemerce, who had a wife and ten chilerea on board, attempted to raise the 6 youngest of them into the rigging by the aid of a "sheet," with which he had tied them together. Unfortunately he failed in his efforts, and the whole six were drowned.. Samuel Rogers, a boy, aged 15, one of the other passengers saved, has lost his father, mother, two. brothers, a sister, and a cousin. Henry North, saved, lost his wife and three children. As far as we can glean facts from parties on board, it appears that all went prosperuusly tat about half-past nine, when they made the Falmouth light, the captain himself pointing it out to one of the passengers on deck. Just at this time the second mate was trying to sight the Lizard light, and he asked serne of the paesengere it they could not see the reffect:on of the light in the sky ; they replied they coull not, when the captain said he could not either, but they would see it fast enough when they got there. It was the second mate's watch, and the captain shortly after went below. About ten o'clock the mate came on the poop and asked the passengers if they had seen the captain, and on being asked what he wanted the captain for, he said he (the mate) thought they were a deal too nigh land. Shealy after i his the captain came on deck, and what the mate had stated, "that they were getting too close on land," was re ported to him ; the captain pooh-poohed the report. Soon afterwards some one forward sung out "rocks," and almost immediately the vessel struck with vio lence, so much so that she humped over the rock, and then struck with still greater force upon rocks further in • the captain Was then distinctly heard to call out "run her aground." The vessel then had all sail on her with great way, as she was when the accident happened going eight or nine knots, and though ran aground the sea washed her off again, and she ran down the coast for some distance. An attempt was then made to bring her up by letting go her anchor, when she grounded heavily broadside on. Attention was then directed to the boats—of which had she four on board, three on deck, and one over the side—the captain, four seamen, a boy, and one passenger jumped into the latter boat and called out to lower, but finding no one answered the call, the captain returned to the deck of the vessel, when the boat was lowered. On her touching the water it was found there was no plug in her, and she was with out thowle pins. While they were waiting to supply these deficiences her tackle became unhooked, and the boat drifted off from the vessel without the captain. The men put their knives in for thowle pins, and the passenger his German pipe for a like purpose, and they pulled out to sea to get round a point of rocks over which the breakers were rolling heavily. When they had wea thered this point they pulled for the land, on nearing which they saw a light. Not being able to find a landing place they called aloud for help, when they were heard by the son of Lieut. M`Lean, of the coast-guard, who pointed out a place of landing. Immediately the alarm was spread that a vessel had struck on the Manacles. An attempt was then made to pull out some of the coast guard boats without success, from the dangerous cha racter of the coast. The passenger who had got on shore was taken by the coast-guard people in their attempt to put out to assist the vessel, in order to direct them where s h e lay, those of the ship's crew who got ashore ped tively refusing to lend even this assistance. Unfortu nately the boats could not reach the vessel, and were compelled to return to the shore. They postponed all further efforts till the following morning, when, going further up the coast to a more favourable p l ace of embarkation, they reached the vesse', which was then not above 200 yards from the shore. During the whole of this time, the crew being fur the most part intoxicated, nut a single effort was made to cave the passengers by either captain or crew. Some of the passengers attempted of themselves to get the cutter out ; in so doing they stove her bottom and lost the boat. The tide at the time the vessel struck was about two-thirds ebb, and when she sunk she fitted with water, hut the decks were ery, and if assistance had been rendered at this time ad might have been safely landed. Unfortunately, fur the want of some directieg mind, this opportunity was lost, and on the returning tide some portion of those on board got into the rigging, the crew getting in the tops, while - a large number of the passengers took shelter in the long boas—the boat was floated out of the chocks and beaten across the deck against the bulwarks until she was knocked to pi e ce, and the whole of her living freight either crushed or drowned. The rising tide soon did its work, wash ing the unfortunate people off the decks and out of the lower rigging, most of them having from cold and suffer ing lost even the little energy necessary to make a fur ther ascent up the rigging. In the morning the sur vivors were taken off the wreck by the coast guard and landed at Coverack, St. Keverne, when they met the most hospitable reception from the inhabitants. One of the passengers, Mr. E. C. Hele, of Dawlish, being provided with a life-belt, swam ashore in the night, and he declares, that had the boats been lowered 'Assn she struck all might have been saved. Another of the passengers, Mr. Knuckey, lately returned from Anetralia, lost 5001. of his earnings, but succeeded in taking ashore 700 sovereigns in , a belt. Elizabeth Pearce and Mary Ann Penman, two of the parties save,'!, left the service of Mrs. Hector, 2, Albany-place. Anooer passenger among the fortunate survivors, who left the dockyard to emigrate, as if foreseeing the chance of calamity, asked for a week's leave only, instead of his discharge from the service. This would have expired to morrow ; he now returns in time to retake his employ ment. Seventy-six of the bodies of the unfortunate people were buried in 36 coffins on Sunday, in St. lie- Verne churchyard, relations being buried together. Immediately the melancholy intelligence reached this place it was telegraphed to the Admiralty and to the emigration commissioners, upon which the former di rected Sir William Parker, the commander-imchief, to despatch the Avon, Second Master Veitch in command, to the scene of the disaster, and which returned to Fal mouth last evening, bringing a number of the passengers saved. The emigration commissioners -also directed Lieutenant Carew, R.N., agent at Falmouth, to proceed at once to the wreck, and tnat gentleman left on Satur day evening. The Board of Trade also despatched an officer to institute an inquiry into the circumstances of the wreck, under the provisions of the new act, which earns into operation on the Ist instant, Commander Bald win Walker, of the Coast Guard, having made the pre liminary inquiry as the act directs. In the interim the coroner of the district has been per forming the melancholy duty of holding inquisitions on the bodies thrown up by the sea. The evidence at the inquest showed that there was not a single palliating cir cumstance n n oo o av r r n idr i , n gt r g ,oam ; t c arhi rigging i a a; ho f fe u arrhepar poor os e er dt oldel an p ri ti on s w s: ,a i g op e , f,rrestl party o f w, r . o eh in to. curnstance in favour of the captain. The vessel stru c k at ten p.m., and all were safe until daylight the n ex t nd t t h h l e n e volunteered to go to his its-tistance. The great toes of life was occasioned by so many of the passengers getting into the rigging that it broke away, the parties into the sea, those not able to swim, or not strueg enough to regain the vessel, perishing. The Jury having beard all the evidence, in recording their verdict, Weerved that they caitsi& red the conduct of tins whole Of the crew, with the exception of a sea man named Elder, most iilamEa'sle, and expressed their surprise that the ship was not supplied with a signal gun nor blue lights, and recommended that a light should be Placed on the Manacles. Agairst the captain (Rawls-) they returned a verdic:, of manslaughter, and the coro ner's waerant was at once issued fur his apprehension, and on which he has been lodged in. the Cornwall county gaol at Bud min. The passengers who have survived have received their ,passages back again, but instances where survivors have lost relatives, the passage money of the deceased has not b,:sen repaid.

SCOTT It77.3SELL'S, -SERIOUS CHARGE OF ARSON. Layton Edward Hooper, 26, a respectable-looking, youlig man, rately employed as a shipwright in the ser vice of Mr. John Scott Russell, and resi iing at No. 5, George-street, Limehouse-fields, was brought to the Thames Police court yesterday by Mr. Stipesiutendent Howie, of the K division, charged on suspicion of hav ing set fire to certain pieces of timber, with intent to destroy a floating battery on the premises of his late em ployer. The disastrous results of the fire and the amount of property lost having been previously made public, in tense interest was excited, and the court was densely crowded. Mr. Hobler appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Eallantine, instructed by Mr. Pelham, for the defence Mr. Thomas Frazer Campbell, storekeeper at Mr. Russell's works in the Isle of Dogs, stated that at nine o'clock on Thursday night last the timekeeper called his attention to a fire at the floating battery, a vessel which bad just been completed, and was about to have been launchad on the ensuing Saturday. Witness gave the alarm to Mr. Dixon, the superintending engineer, and then rushing into the yard Perceived a strong illumination. As he approached• the battery, the fire, which seemed to come from each side of it, met him with a strong rushing, glow, as if running over some rapidly ignitable substance. The battery was 180 feet long, and there at first ap peared about 10 feet of fire under the bow. The vessel was plated with iron, and it would be difficult to set it on fire from the outside. The wood used in the prepara tion for the launch appeared to have been the first to take fire. Witness ran to see if their was any fire astern, and the flames pursued him rapidly, as if running along some bituminous and easily ignitable pathway. The prisoner had been in the employment of Mr. Russell, and left about three weeks since, in consequencB of a strike. He was highly esteemed as a mechanic, and dis charged himself, owing to the stoppage of some wages. He had worked about fourteen months ago at the Esk, a vessel built by Mr. Russell. No part of the arma ment was on board the battery when it was destroyed. Mr. J. Dixon, superintending engineer, went through every corner of the floating battery at 8 oclock on the Thursday night, to see if any trifling jobs remained to be done previous to the launching. He i teft in 25 minutes, and there was then not the slightest appearance of fire. The men knocked off at a quarter to 8 o'clock. There were men employed to remove the chips and shavings every night, but some must necessarily remain, not. however, such a quantity as could cause the fire that had taken place. There was 'a solid mass of wood under the battery, which, though mingled with some damp'wood, could easily be ignited. The fire was obviously from the outside. The launch-way was greased, but the fire did not appear to have commenced there. When witness catne up there were about 50 square feet of flame, and it seemed to. run up and down the battery, on the outside, as if it were making immense hops In intermediate suc cession. • John Coullie, a shipwright in Mr. Russell's employ, !who was workin'g at the launches, left at 'a quarter to eight on Thursday evening. On going to his bed-room at nine he saw from the window sparks from the bow of tho,battery, such as might come from a blacksmith's forge when worked by the bellows. He then thought one of the moveable forges was at work and turned towards his bed, but on Linking round the instant after he saw a blaze start up a s from a powder magazive or some combustible substance easily ignited and then sub side again. He ran round to the yard to save his toals, an i iu his hurry getting under the bow of the battery struck his .head against an iron cramp %inch, which checked his course. As soon as he rec evereil, he ~ a w 'a roan coming from the bow of the battery, about 10 yards from him. The roan, on perceiving witness, san to a kiln where planks are stewned, and mounted it by some iron bolts shaped like a ladder. When he got to the top he looked towards witness, who, having covered from the shock, immediately recognised his face. The man then, who was about 20 or 25 yards dis tant when witness saw bun turn at the kiln, made ov, r a slanting shed, and in turning to descend from it again exhibited his face t r witness. The light was so strong that witness could not be mistaken in the features, which he recognimeed as those o f a man who had worked with him when the Esk was being built. Mr. In Oam.—Do you see that man in the court ? Witnes $ (pointing to the deck).—Yes, sir. There lie is (sensati en). Mr. Eallialtine.—lt was n'sht. How could you re cognise his features ? Witness.—The light was so strong that-any one could recognise' them at a diatanCe of from 30 to 40,1arge r , Mr. Ballantine are on your oath. Is that the man After it long rtve, the'wlttiesm, Ina low tone, said, "Yes, I can swear it between God and man." As Mr. Rtliam:timme continued t - m press his question. to amore definitive answer the witness seemed tt , water and hesitate more. First he said he would pledge his oath, faith, and honour, and then his firma belief. that the prisqncr was the man. Next he said he would not prejudice his own soul in swearing to what was nut the fact. In furthir cross•examination. and as Mr. Ballantine's questions assumed a tone of deeper solemnity, the wit ness became more and more' confused, and slow in his answers. • He said he first mentioned the fact of seeing the prisoner going from the battery to Mr. Hepworth, the iron ship-builder at Mr. Russell's, and described him as clad in a fustian or light-coloured dress. When asked if he should know him again he replied in the affirmative. It was on Saturday last he told a constable of his hav ing worked with the prisoner at the building of the Esk. He never bad applied to the prisoner since his re turn in March last from Syminey and Callao to get him into a trades' union, nor bad he quarrelled with biro for refusing to do so. He could not have bad any con versation with the prisoner on the subject three or four months ago, for it was only on the 23d of March last that he was discharged from his vessel. The witness here put in his discharge, which bore that date. In answer to Mr. Hobler witness said he saw the prisoner most distinctly, and had no doubt in his mind that he was the man who got away over the lime-kiln and across the shed. He did not follow him, as he knew there was no mode of egress but by dropping into an adjoining garden, which abutted on the Ferry.road. At this stage of the proceedings Mr. nobler said that he trusted he shown, on the part of the prosecution, that there were sufficient grounds for a remand. Mr. Ballantine would not deny that ; • but the ques tion was one of vast importance, for it could scarcely be supposed than at the present juncture any Englishman could be found who, for a trifling difference about wages, could do his country so serious a mischief. It was not for him (Mr. Ballantine) to say that the last witness was entirely mistaken as to the identity of the prisoner, or urged to accuse him from imroper motives. He could not, as the evidence stood, a,k his worship to discharge the prisoner, but he was prepared to produce evi dence, if its production would induce his worship to accept bail, which would clearly show that it was physically impossible his client could have committed the incendiary act attributed to him, inasmuch as his whereabouts on the Thursday night could be ac counted for, with the exception of brief lapses of from half an hour to 20 minutes. Mr. Ingham said that when reasonable cases of this nature were made out, though they were not exactly such as ought to besent to a jury, he did not think them susceptible of bail, and there would be, therefore, very little use in calling the evidence which the learned gen tleman said he could adduce. Mr. Baliantine— I merely throw out. the suggestion, thinking it my duty to see that ray client was not borne down by the weight of public opinion, which must press upon him whilst he labours under this serious charge, and to show that he is capable and ready to answer it. At the instance of Mr. Hobler, Mr. Ingham remanded the case for a week, at which time Mr. Superintendent Howie said he should most probably be prepared with further evidence. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Dr. Wordsworth, the Rev. Canon Selwyn, and Mr. H. Kingscote (Secretary). [ADVERTISEMENT.] —TH 8 WAR IN TUB EAST. —POWERFUL PATENT RECONNOITRING GLASSES.— Messrs. S. and B. Sole mons, opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. ibserve opposite the York Hotel. By her Majesty's Roya Letters Patent for valuable and extraordinary improvements in the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Race course, Opera, and Perspective Glasses, to know the distances of objects viewed through them—of great importance to the army, navy, and others. These telescopes possess such extra ordinary powers that some 3i inches, wit; an extra eye piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the double stars ; with the same' telescope can be seen a person's counterance three miles and a half distant, and an object from 16 to 20 miles. They are of larger and all sizes, with increasing p.,wers accordingly ; while their vary ing from 4 to 6 inches enab'e us to discover more than the above, and the Georgian, with his 6 satellites, &c.—The Royal Exhibition, 1881.—Valuable, newly-invented, very small, powerful waistcoat-pocket glass,the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen and known 1 miles distant; they answer every purpose on the race-course, and at the opera houses, country scenery, and ships are clearly seen at 8 to 10 miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera, race-course, camp, and perspective glasses, with ,wonderful power.—Newly-constructed Spectacle Lenses of the great at transparent power. The valuable advantage derived from this invention is, that vision becoming impaired is preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occu pation—can see with these lenses of a much less magnify ing power—and they do not requiie the frequent changes to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Deaf ness—New Discoveiy.—The Organic Vibrator, an extraordi nary powerful, small, newly-invented instrument for deafness, entirely different from all others, to surpass anything of the kind that has been, or probably ever can be, produced. Being of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible ; it enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public assemblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in the ears is entirely removed; and it affords all the Assist. ante that possibly could be desired. 39, klbetnarle-street observe --oppovito the York lintel. rAnvERTIBEmENT.I—Many thousand curds have been effected without medicine, by Du Barry's Delicious Reva lenta Arabica Food, of indigestion (. tyopepsia), constipation, nervous, biligus, and liver complaints, paralysis, &c.
