Thi s; fact, announced in our impression of yesterday, is peculiarly significant at the present crisis. He had but returned from Vienna, where - he had acted as representative of France during the discussion on the Third Point at the Conferences, which, accord ing to Lord PALMERSTON, have been "suspended, but not broken off." There lie exhibited the same truckling to "Germanism," the same deference to the tender susceptibilities of Russia as the British Plenipotentiary. He concurred in propositions which, if accepted, would have led to a disgraceful and hollow truce, and neutralised the many serious sacrifices already made by the Western Powers. But this was not all. Like Lord JOHN Russia', he resolutely closed his eyes to the insincerity and duplicity of Aus tria, and connived at her wriggling out of the performance of her solemn obligations. For this he has mcst properly received the displeasure of his Imperial Master ; for this he has relinquished his important position in the Cabinet of Paris, where he is replaced by Count WALEWSKI, who, as Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, has gained golden opinions among all classes and grades of society in England. This is, indeed, an event of vast importance. It proves that NAPOLEON is resolved that hence forward the War shall be carried on with vigour and energy, and that Austria must forthwith de cide on which side she will array herself, whethe:• she will faithfully and honourably fulfil her en gagements, or abide the inevitable consequences of their violation. It is a fitting conclusion to the Viennese farce, so far as France is concerned, and it remains to be seen whether England will, by a similar proceeding towards her late Plenipotentiary, evince her decided concurrence in the policy and 1 views of her august Ally ? We cannot see how the eitteinte cordiale can possibly be maintained if, after the resignation of M. DROUYN DE L'Hurs, Lord JOHN RUSSELL continues to hold a seat ii the Cabinet, and the British Premier avows that he would entirely violate his duty "if he stated that all hopes of accommodation were at an end." It is for the representatives of the several consti tuencies of England to say whether they will sacrifice the Alliance with France—whether they will disavow the manly and straightforward policy of our magnanimous Ally, for the sake of keeping Lord PALMERSTON in office, of retaining the valu able services of Sir G. C. LEwrs as Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Sir C. Woo D as First Lord of the Admiralty ? These are important interrogations; and much will depend on the answers that ma:: be returned thereto. It is impossible to suppose that we can go on much longer in the course which we have been for some time p ursuing. misters h ave h a d qu i te su ffi c i en t rope—if more be accorded, they will not merely end, in accord ancebut will involve wit h the proverb, by destroying themselves, willansTedunilY b e . the nation in the ruin.

( '.---4461:;5t v e Reform have received an ad very Powerful, because unwilling, N . supkortSo their views f ro in the head of her MAJESTY'S Governm en t. What can b e thought of the efficiency : of a department so importanG as that of the Foreign-office when the " temporary illness " of an individual could so far disappoint the wishes of the nation ? We really think that there ought to be a medical cer tificate to show that it was not a case of "malin gering," of shamming sickness to avoid a disaaree %ble duty. On Friday evening nothing was heard of this unfortunate temporary illness. Lord PALMERSTON made a long speech to show that there was no analogy between the case adduced by Mr. DISRAELI and that under discussion. He uttered many pompous platitudes about the propriety of " not shutting the door to the possibility of concluding a just and honourable peace." These rounded periods were all thrown away if the procrastination was not occasioned by high political considera tions, but by the " temporary illness of a person in the Foreign-office, in whose department it was to prepare translations of the protocols." There is in this what legal practitioners denominate a mani fest " departure" from the original argument. The Noble Lord has shifted his defence, which he can no longer believe to be tenable. We can not repose implicit faith in these convenient " temporary illnesses ;" at all events, the excuse no longer exists. Parliament will now have the requisite data for pronouncing an opinion, and it is alike due to our august Ally, and to our own honour and our own interests that they should, even at the eleventh hour, speak out distinctly and unequivocally on this all-important topic. Lord ELLENBOROUGH has boldly " taken the bull by the horns"—has undertaken " to bell the cat." The motion of which the Noble Lord has given notice for next Monday evening is not merely one of " want of confidence iu the Ministry." It conveys a direct censure on the Cabinet, and dis tinctly and unequivocally calls for the substitution of men better qualified for the discharge of the onerous and important duties that devolve on officials during the existing emergency. It is, in fact, a demand for " Administrative Reform" as peremptory as that which Mr. LAYARD is about to claim from the representative branch of the Legis lature, and as the great City meeting of Saturday last inducted. It developes the great principle that will henceforward be asserted by every true-hearted Englishman, we care not to what party he may hitherto have belonged, that "it is only through the selection of men for public em ployment, without regard to anything but the public service, that the country can hope to pro• secure the War successfully, and to attain its only object—a secure and honourable peace." This sentence deserves to be embroidered in letters of gold on the reform standard—to be adopted as the war-cry of the movement—to be repeated throughout the length and breadth of the land, until it finds an echo in every British heart, and penetrates even to the inmost recesses of Downing street. It will probably lead to a speedy change in the Government. The resignation of M. DROUYN DE L'IIUYS, in consequence of the disapproval by the EMPEROR of his subserviency to Austria, renders it almost impossible that the English adherents to " Germanism" can retain office. But a new "shuffling of the - cards" will not now suffice. The family party has been regarded in all its varied aspects, and been found wanting. The whole pack must be discarded. The infu sion of new blood, which might some time since have postponed the crisis, will now be too 'late. The country requires that the right men should be appointed to the right places ; and it will have them, or know the reason why. It is the mismanagement of the War that has so greatly excited the public indignation, that has filled the "cup of wrath" to over flowing ! But an improvement in that re spect is not all that is required. The en tire system is radically wrong, and there must be a very decided change in every department, before the people, now thoroughly aroused, will rest con tentednor abandon their exertions for a decided amelioration. It is not a party movement. It is not put forward by Whig or Tory, Conserva tive or Radical, Protectionist or Free Trader. It is a national demonstration—a demand for a peaceful revolution, that must and shall be car ried. We look to measures, not men. We care not who it is that presides over the National Councils, provided the duties of the office are properly discharged, and the efficiency of all the minor departments maintained. There must be responsibility somewhere, some one to answer for any deficiency or mistake, to punish the de faulters, or to bear the odium which their mis conduct may occasion. This result may not at once be attained. It will require much labour and incessant agitation— "Palma non sine pulvere." There is no royal road to such a goal ; we cannot gain the prize without toil. But the amelioration is "looming in the future," and will come, whoever may be the temporary occupants of office, the " warming pans" who may keep the places for better and more effi cient men. Be this as it may, the present duty of the nation is to give efficient support to the motions of the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH in the Lords, and of Mr. LAYARD in the Commons, and the labours of the Administrative Reform Asso ciation throughout the entire country. At pre sent let the first step be taken, and half the battle will already be conquered. ST. MARTIN'S BALL. Mr. Alfred Mellon gave his second grand concert last ni2lit, at this ball, to a large audie nce . The vocal formers were Mr. Sims Reeves and Mille. Loui se CeZ e i l ; - , a young singer of much promise. She sung two songs with much expression and ability. Mr. S ims R eeves was encored in both his performances, the " Adelaide " of Beethoven and an English ballad. One of the chief features of the entertainment was the re-appearance of Signor Bottesini, who has been absent from London for the last three years. He was loudly applauded on entrance, and was encored in a selection from Paganini, in which he displayed his usual skill. The instrumental portion of the concert is deserving of the highest praise. Mendelssohn's Symphony in A Minor was rendered with striking effect. Notwithstanding its length the attention of the audience was unremitting, and the warmest ap probation was expressed at its termination. We must riot omit to mention a brilliant performance on the piano forte by Mr. Edward Bache. The band was conducted by Mr. Alfred Mellon, who may be congratulated on the success of his entertainment.

Altli E T AND o LIME.ROTAL CITY, Two o'CLocx. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday closed very firmly, and the demand for cotton continues with unabated vigour. The sales were estimated at 18,000 bales, of which 4,000 were taken for export, and 3,000 on speculation, chiefly Surats. The Railway Share Market was steady. The question of this year's food supply becomes more interesting as the season advances, and with yesterday's accounts from the United States, where prices are unusually high, there is the greater rea son for endeavouring to ascertain what quantity we are likely to gee nearer home. Notwithstanding the prolonged winter and the absence of rain up to this date the young wheat plant is described as being healthy, and even where the autumn-sown grain has been destroyed by the winter's frost, the re-sowing this spring has perfectly succeeded. Upon all these matters Messrs. Joseph and Charles Sturge, of Birmingham, give the following interesting de tails :-- " During the whole of the past month we have had, with little exception, cold north-east winds and frosty nights; vegetation is consequently so extremely backward that unless the weather from the present time should be exceedingly fine and warm we cannot have an early har vest, but with an immediate change to rain and heat the crops may still be ready for the sickle sooner than the average of years. The season has, however, been very favourable fur sowing all kinds of spring corn : the ground is not so dry as to prevent vegetation, and the blade is generally coming up with a healthy appearance. This re mark applies also to wheat on land re-sown in spring, an operation rendered necessary to a consi derable extent where the plant was destroyed or much injured by severe frost in winter. The supply of English wheat, although still liberal, has been much less so than during the greater part of the season that has elapsed since last harvest ; but our prices were barely maintained so long as a confident ex pectation still prevailed that the Conferences at Vienna would end in peace. Since, however, it has been ascer tained that there is little probability of this most desir able result, we have had a sudden advance on wheat of abc ut Bs. per quarter, and rot much disposition on the part of the growers to sell even at this advance, as they look forward to still higher prices. There have been some arrivals of Baltic wheat in London and the Eastern ports, and a further quantity is on passage. A consider able number of grain laden-vessels, which have long since passed Gibraltar, are also kept out by the north-east winds. They are principally, we believe, from Alexandria, or laden with Egyptian wheat and other inferior qualities of grain, re-shipped from the Mediterranean ports. Prices have not yet materially advanced in France, the supplies in the south, added to a few imports from Bel gium, having so far nearly supplied the deficiency in the north. We hear complaints of the appearance of the French crops on the ground, and it is yet uncertain whe ther France will require an import of wheat. Should this prove to be the case, it is difficult to tell the point the price of wheat may reach. Although in the event of ours being the only European country requiring an import of breadstuffs, we may draw a supply, sufficient with that remaining in farmers' hands to carry us on even if the harvest be late, from the northern ports not yet closed by the war, Spain and the Mediterranean ; and the case would be alto gether altered if Franca should compete with us in foreign markets. It is now evident that we shall not receive any considerable supplies from the United States until they have s , cured another harvest, as by late ac counts the he-t Genessee white wheats Lad reached a price almost unprecedented for that country, of 95 to 100 shillings per quarter ; and Canadian, for forward delivery, was held at 88s. for 4Solbs., with the stocks on the seaboard so exhausted that it is probable ail that will be received from the west on the opening of the canals will be required to supply the wants of the Eastern States, which may also take what we should otherwise have received from Canada. We believe our millers generally hold light stocks, and if the consumption of bread had not been for some time past materially lessened by the distress of cur working population our prices might have been still higher than they now are. Our present quotations of wheat, are English red, 93. Bd. to 103. 2d ; white, 10s. to 10s. 6d. per 621bs. at Birmingham. The quantity of foreign on our markets is so trifling that the prices may be con sidered nominal. The stock at Gloucester is only 8,400 quarters. The scarcity of green food for cattle and sheep, caused by the long continuance of cold dry wea ther, has increased the demand for grinding barley, but it has not yet advanced in price more than about 2s. per quarter on the better descriptions, and there is no im provement in the value of inferior qualities." The accounts from the Baltic state that there was still a good deal of ice along the shores of Finland, but the English fleet was preparing for operations. The Stock market is necessarily heavy from the position which political affairs have assumed, both here and at Paris, the unpopularity of our Govern ment leading to the impression that there will be a Parliamentary struggle era long, and the retire ment of M. Drouyn de l'Huys inducing very con tradictory opinions, because the reason is not understood. If, however, it should be proved that the Emperor is resolute for a more vigorous policy, the resignation ,of even such an able Minister will excite the less regret. The failure of a large speculator for a rise in the price of the new loan has temporarily deranged the market, and it is found that there is much more of the Om- Mum delivered than was expected. The current value is but to premium, and it seems clear that not only private allottees, but many of the bankers and capitalists who largely participated, have re alised at the premium. Considering the total amount, however, there must be still a large amount held by the original subscribers. Consols have been 88a and are now 88Lto ft.

The Patrie publishts a "communicated" article, announcing that the 4overnmenit has not received the news from the Crimea publis:Sed by the Patric, Constitutionnel, and Pays of the 6th and 7th of May ; that the laEt despatches received by the Minister of War an dated midnig ht, 6th of May ; and that they simjly contain di itails of military service. The Constitutionnel of yesterday says :—" The last hopes of peace which attach, ed themselves to the Cohterences of Vienna are rapi Hy disappearing. The Eastern question is no longer in Vienna ; it is altogether at Sebastopol." The Moniteur atnounces that ti se reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha arrived at Paris on Satur day, and on the we day dined at the Tuileries. The Emperor pair; a visit to his .Royal Highness on Sunday, at the hotel of the PHI ice de Chimay. The Emperor has granted a peislsion of 4,000 fr. a year to Madame Bizot, the widow of the Gene ral of Engineers ' who received kis death-wound before Sebastopol. A letter of the 24th ult., from the Camp before Sebastopol, in the Journal de Constantinople, says— " The Flagstaff Battery is completely reduced to silence, and the South Redoubt is in the s ame situa tion. The Malakhoff Tower only fires' occasionally, to show that it is still in existence. e breach made by our shot, on the first day of the bombardment, in the wall which surrounds the towi i, has been re paired by the Russians, and they have even mounted a cannon on it, in eider to thunder down on such persons as might attempt to mount it. The same wall to the right of the first breach, and near ly opposite the is completely d smolished to a lengthol d Russian of fortybarracks, yards yards. Two nights ago the English troops took possession of the Russia, t rifle pits op posite the third bastion, and destroyed all the second company of the regiment of Chasseu rs of Vladimir who defended those pits. The batteries 4of the Careen ing Bay, called by the French the Vhite Batteries, have been abandoned by the Russians i and immediately occupied by the allied troops. Some d ismounted guns were found in them, which had been !Left there by the enemy. These batteries had been :strengthened by General Gortschakoff, and were the see ne of the sangui nary contests in which the 31 Regimes t of Zouaves so distinguished themselves. The capture of the White Batteries is of the greatest importa n ev 3, as their guns played on the rear of our works." The Independance Belgesays that, Abd-el-Kader has applied to the French Government for permis sion to visit Paris, to see the Greutt Exhibition, and that the request will doubtless be granted.

In other clauses the Emperor expresses his thanks to a number of other persons whom he names as being his devoted friends and servants ; among them he mentions Prince Paskewitch, Generals Orloff, Tchenicheff, and Menschikoff, M. de Nesselrode, and thanks them all in the warmest manner for the services they have rendered to him and to the State.

He must never suffer any family quarrels which may be prejudicial to the service or even to the State, aid should such circumstances unhappily arrive, he must remember that he is Emperor, and that all other mem bers of the family are his subjects." The will concludes by a clause, in which the Emperor begs all those whom he may have unintentionally offended to forgive him, as he forgives all who may have offended him. He expresses his regret that he has not been able to accom plish all the good that he could have wished, and begs all his friends to offer up their prayers for the repose of his soul.

A special commission has been instituted at St. Petersburg by the Emperor Alexander to consider all matters relating to the Eastern question. It is composed of the Grand Duke Constantine, M. Nesiselrode, Count Orloff, M. Kisselefl; Count Bludoff, and Prince Dolgorouki. The war party has a majority in the commission. A holograph will of the late Emperor Nicholas, written in 1844, has been published at St. Peters burg. Tho following are the principal points of the• document : The first clause is a kind of address to his family. After enumerati,g the various kinds of property belong ing to the Empress his wife, the Emperor expresses a wish that her Majesty shall retain for her life the use of het apartments in the different palaces, and the clause comcludes as follows •—" The legacy which I beqeath to my children is to love and honour their mother, to do everything t 3 promote her tranquillity, to anticipate all her wishes, and to endeavour to ren der her old age sappy by their devoted atten tions. Never must they undertake anything of im pomtance without first asking her advice and detnandinff lvtr maternal beneLlittion." In another clause, the teutator bequeaths persions of 15,000 silver roubles a vitt' (the silver rouble is something over 4 f ranc ) , i n d addition to the pensions they already enjoy, to Adjutant- Gvneral d'Adlerberg aad his daughter Julie Baranow, dm latter of whom has brought up three of his (the tea- THE BALTIC FLEET. KIEL, May s.—The splendid fleet left yesterday morning—in all twenty sail. The destina tion of the ships was kept a profound secret up to the last moment. Many officers left word at the post-office to have their letters sent on to " Cronstadt or elsewhere ;" but the general impression in the fleet was that they were going at once to Riga, if the state of the ice permitted it. From the course they steered on leaving Kiel har bour it is impossible t) guess their real destina tion. Proceeding as they did outside (or to the northward of) the island of Fehmarn, that track would lead them either to Copenhagen, Gothland, or the Gulf of Finland. Admiral Dundas is very popular in the fleet, and enjoys very much of the confidence of his officers and men. Admiral Seymour is also a general fa vourite. In coming down to Kiel the Lightning grounded between the islands of Langeland and Omoe, but G ot off again in a very short time without sustaining any damage. It must be added that a thick fog rendered it impossible to see the land on either side. Fortunately the vessel was going very cautiously, at less than half speed, and when the water shoaled suddenly from nine fathoms to three, her engines were immediately stopped, and she got on the mud bank without any concussion. A hawser was laid out astern, and by means of this and reversing the engines she soon managed to get afloat again. The Aftonbladet states that some of the ships of the flying squadron were seen off the island of Gothland on the 18th ult. SARDINIA. In the sitting of the 3d of the Piedmontese Se nate, Gen. Durand() announced the termination of the Ministerial crisis. He stated that, having ac cepted the duty of forming a new Cabinet, and of examining the opposition of Bishop Callabiana, with a view to ascertain whether it would be possi ble to resume negotiations with the Court of Rome on that basis, consistently with the dignity and rights of the Crown, it soon became apparent that the said proposition was so worded as to imply the re nunciation of a principle which the House of Savoy had al ways upheld, and which was recognised by the laws of the country. It was therefore not sur prising that none of those who might have com manded a majority in the Chambers thought ii expedient to form part of a Cabinet upon such con ditions. He (the General) had endeavoured to in duce the hon. mover of the proposition to modif ; it in its obnoxious parts, but in vain ; and he Lic. therefore considered it his duty to tender his resig nation to his Majesty. Count Cavour then an nounced to the Senate that the old Cabinet had resumed its functions, and requested the house t( appoint an early day for the resumption of the de bate on the Convents' Suppression Bill. Et was ac cordingly decided that the discussion should be resumed on the sth. SPAIN. The Madrid papers of the 2d have arrived. That day being the anniversary of the rising of the po pulation of Madrid against the French in 1808, a rising which was suppressed with much bloodshed, most of then►, as in previous years, appear with black borders. The Espana says that the Queen never positively refused to sanction the law relative to the sale of ecclesiastical property, but merely begged that her sanction might be postponed for a time, inasmuch as the Pope had declared that the law was a violation of the Concordate, and she wished negotiations to be entered into with his Holiness on the subject. The Pope's Nuncio had not yet presented his protest against the bill,• but it was not dc.,ut)t.a that he would do so. AMERICA. LI VERPOOL, TUESDAY. The Royal Mail steamer America, Captain Long, arrived at 5.40 a.m., but, owing to the heavy surf in the river, her mails were not landed until nine o'clock. She left Boston on the 25th and Halifax on the 27th ult., and brought 153 passengers and 875,256 dollars in specie. The Nashville steamer from hence arrived at New York on the 22d ult. The news is of little or no importance. The steamer Oregon exploded at Detroit on the 20th ult., killing 10 persons, and severely wounding several others. Advices from Havannah to the 15th ult. have been received, but contain no facts of importance. The money market at New York continued easy, and the rates for loans were on the decline. Stocks were depressed, and Lower Exchange on London 109-4 to 1104. The cotton market closed firmly, with a good inquiry—br e.adstuffs tending upwards ; provisions unaltered in value, with a moderate demand ; freights witbio ut improvement. The Amerio in theatre at New Orleans was de stroyed by Lire on the 19th, one man perishing in the flames. The Canadian Militia Bill had finally passed, by a vote of 58 to 32. Considerable modifications had been made,, making the bill more popular than when first i ntroduced. Havanna h ad vices of the 15th April state that the arming of t he inhabitants continued, and that 16 new compaz ties of Mulattoes were being organised. Letters f; rom Rio Janeiro, of the 23d March, confirm the ;statement, previously published, that the difficulties of the Brazilian Government were likely to be amicably settled. The steam -:frigate Mississippi, the flag-ship Japan squatir on, arrived at New York on the 20th April. The New - !(ork money market remained easy, with a tendm icy to decline on the rates on loans. The news frail i Europe being considered favourable, large purchaa es of stock securities had been mad_ in anticipatiot t of better prices ruling before the close of the 1 reek. Exchange on London was in moderate dc in land at 1092 to 110/ ; bills on France, str. 111 c. to s"fr. 131 c. Holders of cotton evinced more firmne hss, but prices were unchanged. The price for flour was still on the advance , and it was tho , eight the extreuie point had been reached, an .d some reaction seemed inevitable. Wheat was without change, extravagant prices being still the order of the day. In other articles there was no particular alteration.

Hopwood, clerk. Talc FORME( LEGION.—A party of Polish prisoners, who are abou t to serve against Russia, were on Satin day embarked on board the Dunbar by the Confiance steamer. Belia re embarking they were visited by several distinguished .1 polish residents. Sir Thomas Hastings explained a former statement made by him, to the effect that the Board of Ordnance received no order from the War office with reference to ,he cohtract fur huts for the Crimea. He had since ascertained a letter was received from Sir F. Smith on the 18th of November, 1854. Mr. Monsell's examination was then resumed.—He first explained that the work at the laboratory at Wool .vich was not executed until after a schedule of prices ')a , l been sent in, and the sanction of the board obtained. Since giving his evidence yesterday, he had ascertained !rom reference to the minutes that the expenditure of 7,0001. by Captain Boxer was not authorised on his own responsibility. Some of the minutes of the board were made on loose paper, a-nd others involving great prin ciple on the minute book. It was not to be understood , hat in placing 7,0001. at the disposal of Captain Boxer, it was not the issuing of money, but the authority of purchasing machinery to that extent, and the bills for the payment passed according to the exact forms of the office. Sir J. Pakington—Wero the accounts checked in the cash account office ?—They were certified certainly by Captain Boxer, but he could not say if Colonel Wilson's name was attached. Sir J. Pakington—l wish to know whether in any way whatever the public had any security for the ex penditure of this money ?—I imagine that in every in• stance there were tenders for the machinery Captain Boxer ordered, and before the money was paid he cer tified the machinery had been delivered and properly erected, but whether Colonel Wilson's name was at tached to the bills he could not say. By Mr. Layard—ls there an auditor connected with the Ordnance-effice ?—There is one in the Paymaster's office. Every account is minutely scrutinised in the cash account office before being paid. These bills were passed in the ordinary way of the office ?—No question. Can you detect in the office if there be any irregularity in the accounts ? —Yes, if any formal irregularity. In ordinary instances it would be necessary for Colonel Wilson to sign the bills, but in this case Captain Boxer was personally charged with the work. What. ever irregularities might have occurred with respect to the initiation of the work, it was sanctioned by the board almost immediately after the work was com menced. The honourable gentleman was examined at great length with reference to a difference of feeling existing luring the progress of the works between Captain Boxer and Col. Wilson, his superior officer, and the course he pursued with reference thereto, and the appeal wade to the Minister of War on the subject. By Colonel Peel—l imagine Captain Boxer has no .ndependent position in the laboratory. He was intro iuced there for a special purpose. By Lord Seymour—There were no cholera belts .rdered for the army in the Crimea before the 24th of November—he found it was the practice for one board .fficer only to sign the orders for most of the warm ci'othing and comforts for the troops. By Mr. Layard—Messrs. Hayter and Howell were ppointed packers of goods by the Board of Ordnance, trom the pressure of business, and he knew no reason or assigning why they were selected for the work. Mr. Jayter is a brother of Mr. Hayter, Secretary to the Creasury—formerly, all goods were packed at the Tower. Che barracks at Aldershott were being erected tfferently to what was intended when the House of commons granted him 250,0001. for that purpose. He vas at the Ordnance when the war broke out, and he at „i ibuted the difficulties that bad occurred, and which had been complained of, from their being an insufficiency of stores, the means of purchasing, and the manufacture of fusees, for which Parliament and the Government vere to blame. The Board of Ordnance worked bar noniously together until the beginning of November. It that time strong differences arose between Sir Tho alas Hastings on the one hand and himself and Sir H. Ross on the other, and in consequence of the unfortu oate difference between Col. Wilson and Capt. Boxer, he and Sir H. Ross did not work so harmoniously together As they had done before. He was the sole communica tion between the Ordnance and the War-office and Horse Guards. In the month of April he was the only officer attending the office. The public service had not suffered - from it, because ":we" executed all the orders forwarded to us. Mr. Layard—You do not mean " we," you mean "L" (Laughter.) [LEFT SITTING.] CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT (THIS DAY). OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) On the motion of Mr. Bodkin, the trial of Mr. Charles Wm. Winchilsea Bevan, charged with embezzling money belonging to the Deposit Life Insurance Company, was postponed until next sessions. George Ti•emen, 13, labourer, was charged with misde meanour, in having wi:fully and maliciously placed an obstruction upon the South. Western Railway, and thereby endangered the safety of the passengers tra velling upon the line. Mr. Ballantine conducted the prosecution. It appeared that on the evening of the 27th of April, shortly after the down Windsor train had passed the Letham station, the driver of the engine observed an iron chair upon the up-line in such a position that the corning up train must have passed over it, and would in all probability have been thrown off the line and serious mischief have resulted. The obstruction was removed, and subsequent inquiries that were made led to one of the officers of the railway going in search of the prisoner, who was in the service of a farmer in the neighbourhCod, And who was at the time employed in scaring birds. lie taxed him with having placed the chair upon the railway, and he at onct admitted he had done so, and said he was very sorry, and cried, and begged to be forgiven. The prisoner, it appeared, was a very ignorant lad, and could neither read nor write, but it was stated that he was al ways looked upon as a good-tempered, well-disposed lad, and there did not appear to be any assignable motive for the act he had committed. The Recorder, in summing up the case, called the attention of the jury to the Act of Parliament under .which the indictment was framed, and said it had been laid down that, before a conviction could take place, the lury must be satisfied that when the obstruction was placed upon the railway the person placing it must do so wilfully and with a knowledge of the probable con sequences ; and he left them to say whether the evi• lence made out these facts in the present case. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a ver dict of not guilty. The Recorder to'd the prisoner that he had been very lucky in escaping a conviction, and he hoped he would , ever do such an act again. He was then ordered to be discharged. ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL COM MITTEE.—(THIS DAY.) The committee reassembled this morning at the usual hour. NEW COURT.
