ATE bZ The following letter has been addressed to the Editor of the Tiines : Sir,—l commit into your hands the following letter and memorandum for publication. It is fit that the people of this country should know that at the commencement of the diplomatic dispute with Russia Ministers were Wade aware of the state of mind and prospect of life of its mighty ruler. The discussions carried on with him were shaped on the usual metaphysical grounds. They should have been guided instead by a knowledge of the physical condition of the disputant. At every confidential interview with the British re presentative up started the monomaniacal idea of 4 ‘ l'homme malade—yrarement malade," which was often repeated, " not without excitement," added Sir George. If this fact did not of itself open the eyes of Ministers in January and February of 1853, the timely professional warning conveyed to them in the annexed letter not long after might, one would think, put Ministers on their guard, albeit the warning came from an humble indivi dual. Who knows how many thousand lives since sacri ficed and millions of money squandered might have been saved if', on the conviction of the truth of the warning received, instead of continuing for months together all sorts of unprofitable arguments, peremptory language and peremptory action had been employed, leaving no time to the imperial and real " sick man" for the inflic tion on his own devoted people and those of the three nations allied against him of that irreparable mischief which he has been suffered to perpetrate ! It was thus Clot Pitt dealt with Paul. But, alas, there is no Pitt Dow. For regularity's sake, - I mention that three pas sages in the following letter, which was strictly confi dential, are omitted. The first was the expression of a purely religious opinion, which, though awfully appro priate at this moment, might be considered presumptu ous. The second detailed the grounds on which during my residence of several weeks in St. Petersburg, in 1849, in attendance on a high personage at the Imperial Court, I formed the medical opinion which I deemed it my duty to convey to the Government at home ; their publication at this moment would be injudicious. The third passage was an illusion to nay ill-requitted service in the navy, which cannot interest your readers.—l have the honour to be your obedient servant, A. B. GRANVILLE, M.D. 1, Curzon•street, Mayfair, March 3. CONTIDINTIAL LETTER TO VISCOUNT PALMERSTON, DATED KISSINGEN, BAVARIA, JULY 6, 1853. cr la y Lord,—Failing in my endeavours to meet with lour lordship at the appointed interview at thee House of Commons on the 22d ult., at which I proposed to snake a viva voce communication ofsorne importance to the Government, as I thought, concerning the present politi cal discussions with Russia, I stated, in a second note writ ten at the moment of my departure from England for this place, that I regretted the disappointment, inasmuch as the subject of the intended communication, from its delioate nature, did not admit of being committed to paper. " I think so still. But, on the other hand, the ne cessity of the Government being put in possession of the communication appears to me to become every day so much more urgent, that if it is to be of any use it must be made at once, or it will fail to direct Ministers in time, as I think the communication is capable of doing, in their negotiations with Russia, and in their estimation of the one particular element which, I apprehend, has first provoked, and is since pushing on the Emperor in his present reckless course. " Mine is not a political, but a professional communi cation, therefore strictly confidential. It is not conjec tural, but positive, largely based on personal knowledge, and partly on imparted information accidentally obtained —it is not essential that I should say from whom, for I take the responsibility of the whole on myself, inas much as the whole but confirms what' I have myself ob served, studied, or heard on the spot. " The Western Cabinets find the conduct of the Em peror Nicholas strange, preposterous, inconsistent, un expected. They wonder at his demands ; they are startled at his state papers ; they cannot comprehend their context ; they recognise not in them the clear and close reasoning of the Nestor of Russian diplomacy, but rather the dictates of an iron will to which he has been made to affix his name ; they view the Emperor's new international principles as extravagant ; the doubt if he be under the guidance of wise counsels. Yet they proceed to treat, negotiate, and speak, as if none of these perplexing novelties in diplomacy existed on the part of a Power hitherto considered as the model of political loyalty. The Western Cabinets are in error. "The health of the Czar is shaken, It has become so gradually for the last five years, He has been irritable, passionate, fanciful, more than usually superstitious, capricious, hasty, precipitate, and obstinate withal—all from ill-health, unskilfully treated ; and of late deterio rating into a degree of cerebral excitement, which, while it takes from him the power of steady reasoning, impels him to every extravagance, in the same manner as with his father in 1800 ; as with Alexander, in Poland, in 1820 ; as with Constantine, at Warsaw, in 1830 ; as with Michael, at St. Petersbur g , i n 1848-9. Lik e them, his nature feels the fatal transmission of hereditary in sanity, the natural consequence of an overlooked and progressive congestion of the brain. Like t'sem, he is hurrying to his fate, sudden death, from congestive disease. The same period of life, between 45 and 60 years of age, sees the career of his fated family cut short. " Paul, at first violent and fanatical, a perfect lunatic at 45 years of age, is despatched at 47, in ISOI. " Alexander dies at Taganrog in Decein'ier, 1525, aged 48. For five years previously his temper and his mind had at times exhibited the parental malady by his capricious and wayward manner of treating the Polish provinces. He died of congestive fever of the brain, during which ie knocked down his favourite physician, Sir James Wylie, who assured me of the fact at St. Petersburg in 1828, because he wished to apply leeches to his temples. " Constantine, eccentric always, tyrannical, cruel, dies at Warsaw suddenly in July, 1831, aged 62 years, after having caused rebellion in the country by his harsh treatment of the cadet officers. I saw and conversed with him on the parade and in his palace at Warsaw in 1821. His looks and demeanour sufficiently denoted to a medical man what he was, and what his fate would be. It has been said that he died of cholera ; again, that lie had been despatched like his father. The physician in chief of the Polish Militaryliespitals assured me some years after that he had died apoplectic and in a rage. " Michael, atter many years of suffering from the same complaints which afflict his only surviving brother —en- larged liver, deranged digestion, and fulness of blood in the head—became in 1848-9 intolerably irritable, violent, and tyrannical to his own officers of the artillery and en gineers service, of which he was the supreme chief. In July, 1849, he consulted me at St. Petersburg. It was after he had passed in review the whole train of artillery which was leaving the capital for Hungary, at which re view I was present and near him, and witnessed scenes of violent temper towards generals and aides-de-camp hardly equalled in a lunatic asylum. I found him as de scribed above. I advised cupping, diet, non-exposure to the sun and fatigue, the administration of suitable medi cines, and the cessation from drinking steel mineral waters, of which he was fond ever since he had been at Kissingen. His physician, the younger Sir Jas. Wylie (himself since suddenly dead), assented reluctantly, but did not carry ray advice into execution. The Grand Duke, in the state he was, unrelieved by any medical measure or proper treatment, joined the army, rode out in the sun, and fell from his horse apoplectic in Septene b.ir, 1849, aged 48. "To complete this disastrous picture of the grand children of Catherine, their mother, Maria of Wurtem berg, a most exemplary princess, died apoplectic in November, 1829, scarcely more than 65 years of age. The attack, mistaken for weakness, was treated with stimulants and bark by her physician, Ruhl, and bleed ing was only had recourse to when the mistake was dis covered—but too late to save. The meek and mild Elizabeth had but a short time before followed her im perial partner, Alexander, to the grave, in the still fresh years of womanhood, 50 years of age. "During my second sojourn in St. Petersburg, in 1849, for a period of tea weeks . . . What the opinion was of the Emperor's health—what acts of his came to my knowledge, which bespoke ecc en t r i c ity— w h a t were the senti men t s of his physician, Dr. Mandt, who, hoincepathist as he is, and exorcising a most peremptory influence over his master, leaves him, nevertheless, lin _ relieved, except by mystical drops and globules—what transpired of political doctrines and opinions, or, in fine, what I gathered afterwards at Moscow on all co-equal points, must be left to your lordship's conjecture—not difficult after all I have divulged. To go further would be like a breach of trust, and of that I shall never be guilty. co" In a ll I h ave re l ated there is nothing that had been q_a t _lnitted to m e as a pr i v il ege d communication ; while it u: i i n t e theearative requirem en t s o f th e moment calling for under izte divulgement I hesitate not to make it, Cons will berrreteonviction that m y f ears an d ant i cipa• "If so, the n ur t e h l y realised. ful Severeien 50 v li.nethod of dealing with an all-power lar mode of transalcitV mast differ from the m ore regu and Government, v j t h h ilsine ss b etween G overnment put her Majesty' s Minister': purpose it is—namely, t o that I have determined t on their g uard ac cordingly, hands the present prof e ssionatinformtion, whi c h must your Lordship's .-.. ei be considered as so strictly J na ana iti a .l that I shall not sign it with my name.

N.B. An acknowledgment of the receipt of this letter Caine by return of post Lord Palmerston's handwriting. M, t an interview with Lord Palmer ston, February 23, 1854, on matters of a private nature, hie Lordship was pleased to ask me before we separated whether I still adhered to my opinion and prediction. I replied that before July, 1855 (the Emperor would then be 59 years old), what I had anticipated would happen. " L e t b u t a f ew reverses overtake the Em peror," I added, " and his death, like that of all his brothers, will be sudden," It has proved so. Alma, Inkerman, Balaklava, shook the mighty brain. Eupatoria completed the stroke, which has anticipated .112 Y prognosis only by a few weeks, A. 13, G. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. HALIFAX. The vacancy created in the representation of the bo rough of Halifax, in consequence of Sir Charles Wood's acceptance of the post of First Lord of the Admiralty in the reconstructed Government, Wa3 duly filled up on Saturday by the re-election of the right hon. baronet without opposition. Thera had indeed been some talk, when the intelligence first arrived that the vacancy had arisen, of Major Edwards, who figured as a candidate at previous elections for the borough, being again started to contest the scat with Sir Charles, but subsequently the friends of the gallant major met and resolved that it was inexpedient for him, in the present critical aspect of affairs, to press his claims on the suffrages of the consti tuency ; and all idea of offering any opposition to the right hon. baronet's return was therefore abandoned. , The nomination took place in the Manufacturers Piece-hall—a large quadrangular building situated in the centre of the town, and enclosing a spacious open square. At 11 o'clock Sir Charles Wood, accompanied by Mr. Joshua Appleyard (the mayor and returning officer), the town clerk, and several of his principal supporters, ar rived on the scene, and took up their position on a kind of balcony, which served as hustings—the spectators, who did not exceed 1,000, being congregated in the open space below. The wealier had been showery all the morning, and the rain fell at intervals during the speak ing, lending to the proceedings—never very lively or exciting at an uncontested election—an unwonted degree oft imeness and insipidity. The writ having been read and the other usual for malities completed, The MAYOR explained the object of the assemblage, and bespoke an impartial hearing for every elector who might wish to address them. That was, he said, the earliest oppor tunity at which the election could be held, and, although it was their market-day, yet, in the present state of public affairs, he did not think he would have been justified in deferring the nomination any longer. They were all aware of the startlingnews that had reached them within the last few hours of the death of the Czar ; and doubt less there were gentlemen present who would express their opinions on the probable bearing of that event upon the prosecution of the war. (Hear, hear.) Mr. J. CROSSLEY then stood forward to nominate the Right Hon. Sir Charles Wood as a fit and proper person to represent Halifax in Parliament. The right hon. gen tleman had represented that borongh for the last 22 years, during which he had repeatedly held high office under the Crown. He had lately been entrusted with the administration of our vast Indian empire, and now he had been called by his Sovereign to a post scarcely second in importance to any other in the State, but to the efficient discharge of the duties of which he believed the right hon. baronet was fully equal. The long expe rience they had had of the services of Sir Charles Wood rendered any eulogy of his character or conduct quite unnecessary, and he therefore merely begged to propose that they should give him a renewal cf their confidence as their representative. (Cheers.) Mr. J. BALDWIN seconded the nomination, observing that the absence of a contest on the right lion. baronet's acceding to so important an office as that of the head of the Admiralty in a time of war was ample evidence that the electors of Halifax were satisfied with his conduct, both as their representative and as a Minister. The right hon. gentleman's object had always been to serve his country, in doing which he had best served his con stituency ; and no doubt he would still continue to fol low the same meritorious course. (Hear.) No elector presenting himself to propose another can didate, the Mayor declared Sir Charles Wood to have been duly elected. Sir C. WOOD then stepped forward to address the elec tors, and was received with faint marks of applause. He said—Gentlemen, it is now my pleasing duty to return you my warmest thanks for the honour which you have done me, and I assure you, from the bottom of my heart, that in my opinion a higher distinction cannot be con ferred on a British subject. I well remember the pride with which 22 years ago, as Mr. Crossley has told you, I was first returned one of the members for an important town in my native county ; but you will readily believe how much that pride has increased when, during the whole course of those years, I have received such re peated proofs of your continued canfidence, and when now, for the ninth time, I am returned a member for Halifax. (Hoar.) Gentlemen, lam the more gratified ou the present occasion because I was more than usually anxious for this last testimony of your approbatern. need but shortly advert to the circumstances which have led to my now appearing before you.. You are aware that Lord Aberdeen's Government resigned in conse quence of a vote of the House of Commons. You are also aware that Lord Derby, to whom her Majesty ap plied to form a Government, failed in the task. Lord Derby addressed himself to Lord Palmerston, the head of the present Government, to Mr. Gladstone, and to Mr. Sidney Herbert, to ascertain whether they would join a Ministry which he might form ; and, upon their refusal to do so, he did not feel sufficient confidence in the mem bers of his own party alone to warrant him in proposing them as an efficient Government to the country. Lord John Russell was likewise commissioned to construct a Government ; but he too failed ; and her Majesty then empowered Lord Palmerston to form a Government, as almost the last resource, lest we should be left without a Government at all. (Laughter.) Lord Palmerston's Government was constituted ; but, alas within some 10 days of its formation, three of its most important mem bers retired. (A. laugh.) I cannot but acknowledge that Mr. Gladstone, in the office of Chancellor of th e Exche quer, and Sir . Graham, in the post to which I have been since called, discharged the functions of their respective departments most efficiently, and I regard it as a great misfortune that they should have considered it to be their duty to leave those posts, (Hear.l But, under these circumstances, hoWever arduous the task assigned him, Lord Palmerston did not shrink from the perform ance of what he believed to he his duty to the Queen and to the country, namely, to form a Government— the best that he could constitute—in order to carry on the business of the country in the present difficult state of public affairs and to promote and guard its best hate rests. In that Government the noble lord called upon me to undertake the post which had been vacated by Sir James Graham. Gentlemen, if I had only con sulted my own wishes and inclinations I should have declined that offer. I bad filled for the last two years no unimportant office in the Government, and had been charged with the administration of an immense empire, comprising nearly 150,000,000 of people. I had car ried through a great measure for the reform of the go vernment of that empire. I had advanced many pro jects for the improvement of its internal administration, for the education of its people, for the development of its trade, for the extension of its public works, and the construction of its railroads ; and you may easily sup pose that I was naturally anxious to watch over the operation ef those measures which, though framed at horse, must, nevertheless, depend in a great degree for their success upon the mode in which they are exc.- cuted in the coutry to which they are applied. I had a natural desire, therefore, to protect, as I may say, the welfare of my own children. At the same time, however, I felt bound to sacrifice my own personal pre dilections if they stood is the way of the discharge of a public duty. Lord Palmerston and my colleagues thought it was desirable that I should take charge of another department—one most important at all times, but, above all, in time of war, more important than any other—namely, that which is intrusted with the admi nistration of the naval affairs and the direction of the naval resources of this country. With the business and duties of that department I was not wholly unacquainted for I had for some four or five years occupied the post of Secretary to the Admiralty ; and I felt, under such cir cumstances, that I should not be justified in consulting my own wishes, my own ease, or my own inclinations, by remaining in the office which I held, and refusing to accept one in which my colleagues thought my services might be more useful. I never from any personal con sideration have declined to do that which I believed to be my duty. I felt that I was a public servant. As such you have trusted me—as such you have sent me to Parliament, and I am convinced you would consider that I had done wrong if I had declined that which I was called upon by my Sovereign to undertake. Gen tleman, I fairly say that I was unwilling to put you to the trouble of another election, but I felt confident that if you believed I was doing my duty you would approve and sanction my course by your suffrages. (hear.) I confess that I was anxious about the result of this elec tion, and I am more than usually proud of the honour of being returned by you to Parliament from the gratify ing circumstances which have attended that return. I am most grateful to you for this renewed proof of your confidence. I thank those of my friends upon whose support I felt I might reasonably rely ; and I also owe my best acknowledgments to those who have on former occasions been my opponents, but who in the present juncture of affairs resolved to waive their party differences, and for the sake of the public interests to acquiesce in my return. (Hear, hear.) I have there fore to promise to the entire body of electors of Halifax, and not to the electors alone, but to its inhabitants ge nerally, that I will not swerve from that course of con duct which has hitherto procured for me your con fidence ; and that while I devote my best efforts to promote the interests of the country at large, I will net neglect those of this borough and its neigh bourhood. (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I have so often on former occasions stated to you my opinions upon almost every subject of public importance that I will net de tain you, upon what I am reminded is your market-day, by adverting to those topics at present, and I need the less do so considering the length at which I had to tres pass on your attention at the meeting on Thursday even ing. I will oily say that lam glad to believe, from all the most recent accounts that have reached us, that the state of our gallant army in the Crimea is rapidly im proving. The army have received that assistance and those comforts and means of protecting themselves from the inclemency of the weather, and against disease, which, through the bounty of this country and the sym pathies of their fellow-citizens at home, have been sent out to them ; and I repeat that all the latest reports agree i.7.aossuring us that the worst is now over, and that the that, sad a a i r i , d d tin gapia4il:Tteryitathp4olviairvige n in ev t e h r e f lc ie o d n_di ( t e io h n e . er_ ri a sp ri i d ri l t and sly and a lier,iisrn (I;trwili7:4 grievous as their sufferings have Leen, the heroism they have displayed—a prowess mile , been equallai byp unier those calamities the have never doubted—have e patient endurance with which they have berate which are harder to Lear than the dange • - actual conflict, be (ifilineder the same excite- MS@ they are not eneountered( Your worthy u d tell i ige; l ice meat or the same enthusiasm.

TX cribed to the over weeping ambition of the Emperor of Russia. It was necessary to resist his aggressive pro jects of aggrandisement, which threatened the liberties and the independence of his neighbour the Sultan, and which, if successful, would have placed the Czar in a position to exercise a predominant influence over the affairs of Europe. It was necessary, I say, to resist, and until our resistance is made effectual, it was impe rative upon us, at whatever hazard, to prosecute the war. But at the same time we should be wanting in our duty to the country if we neglected to avail ourselves of the first opportunity of securing an honourable and a safe peace. (Hear.) I cannot but hope that the important event which has just occurred may tend to facilitate this desirable consummation ; and if that should be the re sult, grieved as we must be at any fellow-creature being suddenly summoned to his last account, yet the death of one man may prove productive of inestimable blessing to Europe and to the rest of the world. (Hear, hear.) That such may be the issue may God, in his mercy, grant ; and with the expression of this hope, and thank ing you again, gentlemen, for your great kindness, I now take my leave of you all. (Hear, hear.) Thanks were then voted to the mayor, and the con course immediately dispersed. DUDLEY. A meeting of about 500 inhabitants, on Thur3day night, determined upon a requisition to Mr. Baldwin, the late Mayor of Birmingham, from whom, on his in tention to offer himself as a candidate, a favourable reply has been received. On Saturday it was stated that Mr. Reuben Plant is about to come forward on the Liberal interest, ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.-HERTFORD, MARCH 3. GOLDHAM (CLERK) V. EDWARDS ((MEMO. This action was brought by the Rev. Mr. Goldham, the rector of Caldecote, and vicar of Newnhatn, in this county, against the Rev. Mr. Edwards, the chaplain of the Central London District School, Norwood, to re cover a sum of 3001. for repairs required in the rectory house at Newnham. Mr. Chambers, in opening the case to the jury, ex plained the nature of the action, and it appeared that in August, 1853, the plaintiff, who then filled the office of chaplain to the above school at Norwood, was desirous to exchange for some other benefice, and with that view he inserted an advertisement in the Ecclesiastical Gazette, which was responded to by the defendant, who then held the livings at Caldecote and Newn ham, and an interview subsequently took place at Norwood, which resulted in an arrangement for the ex change of the livings and the chaplaincy. Shortly after wards, Mr. Goldham and his wife went down to Newn ham and were introduced to the family of the defendant, land eventually the exchange was completed. In such a case, by the common law of the land, the outgoing in cumbent of a benefice was bound to make good all dilapidations, and he said there could be no doubt that, in the present instance, the defendant would have been clearly liable to do so, but it appeared that he refused, on the ground that an agreement had been entered into verbally between him and the plaintiff that he should not pay for the dilapidation ; and that was the defence that would be set up to the present action. He should, however, be believed,' satisfy the jury that no such agreement had been entered into by the plaintiff, and that he had never waived his legal rights with regard to the repairs. The Rev. Mr. Edwards, the defendant, was then ex amined, and he stated most positively that upon the first interview with the plaintiff, he made the non liability for dilapidations the basis of the whole arrange ment, and his reason for doing so was that he had ex pended 1,2001. upon the house, and the former incum bent having been insolvent, and the living sequestrated, he had himself received nothing for dilapidations when he came to the preferment. Mr. Justice Maule summed up the case, and The Jury, after deliberating about half an hour, re turned a verdict for the defendant. CROWN COURT. William Balcombe Simpson, 40, solicitor ; Caroline llawtree, 46 ; John gopkins, 23 ; Richard llawtree, 17 ; Caroline Wood,9atc ; Dinah Drayton, 35 ; and Francis Johnson, 50, baker, were indicted for conspiracy. This case occupied the court for a great many hours, and was not brought to a conclusion until nine o'clock at night. The charge arose out of the indictments that, WCI 3 disposed of on the first day of the assizes, im puting a series of extensive corn robberies to different parties, Mr. Clements, a baker and flour factor at St. Albans, being the prosecutor. The offence imputed to the present defendants was, that they had con s pi re d to gether to defeat the ends of justice, by getting a mate rial witness in support of the original charge out of the way. The jury, without any hesitation, returned a verdict of not guilty, and at the same time expressed their opinion that there was not the slightest foundation for the charge made against Mr. Simpson. The learned judge said that now the case was con cluded, he had no hesitation in saying that he entirely concurred in the opinion expressed by the jury, and that gentleman would leave the court without the slightest imputation upon his character. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—READING, MAnca 3. EMBEZZLEMENT BY A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER. John Wood, about 40 years of age, described as clerk and traveller, surrendere,l to his bail for trial on the charge of having embezzled certain sums of money, be longing to his employer, Mr. Langton, brewer and wine merchant, living at Maidenhead. The prosecutor, Mr. John Edward Langton, carries on an extensive brewery business, and the prisoner Wood, in July, 1352, became the London consignee of ale, fair which he had a considerable demand. The busi ness did not proceed to the satisfaction of Mr. Langton, and during the year 1853 a balance was struck, when it appeared that there was the sum of 7881. due from Wood. A new arrangement was made, by whiab Wood was to become traveller and collector, at a salary of 400/. per annum, to include travelling expenses; but it was proposed that from this sum 2001. was every year to be set aside towards liquidating the debt of 7881. iiseurred-. whilst he was Mr. Langton's consignee. This was never carried into effect ; but on the Ist of January in tdie pre sent year it was agreed that he should be paid 4/. weekly and the expenses incurred by him in travelling. Accord ing to the evidence of Mr. Langton, jan. (who managed the business in consequence of his father being an invalid), it was the duty of Wood on returning from a journey to make an entry in a book of all money re ceived from customers and to pay the same to the cashier, or whoever might be in the office. A short time since a list was made of the balances due ft-cm the customers up to Christmas last, and amongst th. ese ap. peared the name of Mr. Tindall, the landlord of the Waterloo Tavern, Haymarket, London, for the- -suns of 32/. Mr. Tindall being known to be in good circum stances his arrear 3 excited surprise, and Mr. Langton, jun., spoke to Wood on the subject, on the 12th. of last month, when he represented that Mr. Tindall complained of the times being bad, and would pay as soon as pos• Bible ; but as he was that day going to town, he 'would call and see Mr. Tindall, and arrange for payment. Mr. Langton, not satisfied with Wood's explanation , left for town by a subsequent train, and ascertained from Mr. Tindall that a balance of 32/. was paid on the 12th of January, but no entry was made in the cash-bot tk as required by the arrangement made at the begin ning of the year. According to appointment,iWood met Mr. Langton on the railway platform at Paddington, on that afternoon, and when asked what Mr. Tindall had é lone with respect to the balance, he said Mr. Tindall was sorry he was behindhand, lut would pay in a mtx nth. Mr. Tindall produced his receipt, signed by Wood, for the balance which was still represented in Wood's I; , 00k to be due to Mr. Langton. The next case was Oa .t of Mrs. Light, of the ,Feathers inn, Taplow, who )aid Wood 331. Bs. on the 19th of February, but he had. only accounted for 25/. in the cash book ; and the t hird case was that of Mr. Ames, of the Wellington rms, Reading, who was represented to have paid only '. on the 30th of Deceaeber last, whilst his receipt sha iwed that he had given Wood the sum of 151., the total amount if his account. On cross-examination, Mr. Langton admitted that Wood had paid him a cheque for 3401. for sund. f,y ac counts ; and also that although he had paid a s' am of 3SI. and 20/. it was discovered three months after wards that credit had been omitted to be given him, by • the clerk neglecting to carry those sums from the sash book into the ledger. Mr. Huddlestone •made an able address for W •od, and contended that there was no wilful intentio n to keep the money, bu t that what was paid was only ' on account. A sum from 5,0001. to 6,000/. passing thr, 'sigh his hands annually (which the prosecutor admitte , 4) it was not unlikely art error might occur ; but he de wed any criminal intent ion. Several respectable persons were called, who ga .ve Wood a good charm :ter for honesty and uprightness. His lordship sum reed up, and the jury returned l a verdict of guilty, with a strong recommendation to mercy. The learnted Baron said he would give fi ull effect to it, and apar t from it he should have passed is ut a slight sentence, as he believed. the conviction its , elf would be a severer punishment on a person in the : re spectable position o f the prisoner than any lengthem ed imprisonment. IL • then sentenced him to a fortuigh . hard labour. WESTERN Cir:CIIIT.—WINCEIESTER, MARCK :t. ATTEMPT TO MURDER. James Ha;Tis, a labourer, g, ige d 27, was indicted maliciouslylcutting and wound ing Caroline Wilkins, wi th intent to kill and mnursh 1 Ler, at 'Winchester, on tbe 13th of September last. It appeared that the prissm er was a man of low graoe, and obtained a living by ha,vi king fish, watercress, &c.., having also a wooden leg.

No medical officer or other official was sent off to the Arabia while she lay at Spithead to see what was the nature of the cases and which the most urgent to be got to hospital. Two of the sick have lost their legs, several are wounded in the arms and shoulders, and many wounded in the legs, mostly by gunshots.

Sir, I have been informed that the Royal Staffordshire Militia, under your command, have received orders for service abroad, and I, as chief magistrate of Dover, cannot allow the troops to leave this town without expressing to you the great satisfaction I have experienced at the general good conduct of the men while under my jurisdiction ; and I trust that when abroad they will equally maintain their uniform good conduct as men, while they distinguish themselves as British soldiers. With best wishes for both officers and men, I have, &c., Wm. H. PAYNg." The colonel of the regiment replied on the following day in suitable terms. Colonel Kemeys Tynte has resumed the command of the Royal Glamorgan Light Infantry, which has been commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Wheatley during his temporary absence in Parliament. The Sussex Artillery Militia has received orders to hold itself in readiness to proceed to Portsmouth garri son, to relieve the Royal Artillery stationed there.

The 4th Middlesex Militia, now at Haslar, cross over to Portsmouth, to take up quarters in Clarence Barracks. STATE OF TRADE. (Front the Manchester Guardian of Saturday.) MANCHESTER, March 2.—ln some departments of our market there appears to be rather more inquiry than there was last week. But there has been an uneasy feeling in the market throughout the week, arising very much from recent and contemporaneous failures, al though these have been of comparatively small magnitude. This feeling has contributed to increase, in some degree, the general depression ; and the sales effected have been, as a rule, fully si low in their terms in the present as they were in the previous week. NOTTINGHAM, March I.—Lace business slightly more buoyant, by means of small purchases, The hosiery trade is somewhat better off, and still not above half the business of an ordinary season is doing ; here also the operations are confined to small purcha,ers, who are en tering the market in considerable numbers, animated by the reviving spring. LEICESTER, Ma-eh I.—Business is equally fiat in every department of our manufacture, as noticed last week. Yarns and wools remain without animation. WOOLLEN TRADE. (From the Leeds Mercury of ,('aturclay.) LEEDS, March 2.—ln our last week's report of the woollen market, we noticed that there had been a better feeling prevalent in the Cloth-halls, and a de cided improvement in the business done. On Saturday, again, there was a good attendance of merchants in the cloth halls, and considerable animation. The previous week's improvement was fully maintained, both in the tone of the market and in the quantity of cloth that changed owner'. But on Tuesday the market was gene rally dull and inanimate. It was thought by many the business had been of an exceedingly light character, but after the market was over, the cloth cleared out was larger in bulk than, judging from appearances in the cloth-halls, might have been expected, although it was not near an average. The trade in the warehouses con tinues very dull. Few buyers have been in the town this week, until yesterday, when several made their ap pearance, and things look a little better in consequence. ROCHDALE, Feb. 26.—The market has been more gloomy to-day, and the merchants who have shown any disposition to purchase pieces have offered lower prices. The wool market has been extremely inactive and the business done is on a very limited scale, with little or no change in prices. BRADFFORD, March 2.—The inquiries for long wool have been very limited, and the sale unusually small. Under a continuance of such circumstances, prices can not be maintained. Yarns—The change in the weather has created a more hopeful feeling, and, ere long, with the present diminished production, we may hope to see a decided improvement in this branch of trade. Pieces —There is more inquiry for goods today, and as the whole trade is universally low of stock, and, consider ing that the severe weather has broken, and the season is approabhing when great activity usually manifests it self, we may now expect better doings. HALIFAX, Feh. 24.—Business in every department has been extremely inactive to-day, and prices both of goods and the raw material continue to show a bias in favour of purchasers. The arrivals of fleece wool, how ever, have been considerably fewer the last week or two, but skin combing is very plentiful. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills hays effectually cured a liver complaint of a•mo4t hopeless nature.—Mr. Thomas Clarke, of Lake George, New South Wales, was seriously afflicted for years with a liver complaint. His medical attendant 3, after trying all their skill, can didly gave their opinion that his case was hopeless. In this situation, and when expecting that every day would terminate his earthly career, a friend recommended him to try Holloway's pills, assuring him that he knew a person who was cured by them of that complaint. He adopted the advice, and found speedy relief from taking them, and was in a short time perfectly restored to health. Sold by all vendors of medicine, and at Pr )- lessor Holloway's Establishments, 244, Strand, London, and 80, Maiden-lane, New York.

Major Nasmyth, who is the son of a respected citizen of Edinburgh, and was a pupil of the Scottish Naval and Military Academy there, was accom panied by his father. He wore the uniform of the Bom bay Horse Arti and was decorated with the Turkish order of the Medjilie. The council chamber was crowded to excess, and the gallant officer was loudly cheered. The Lord Provost, having pres , nted the burgess ticket to Ma jor Nasmyth, with s o m e a pp ro p r i a t e rem : r k 4, th e ga ll an t major, in returning thanks, expressed his deep regr, t that his distinguished friend G.ptain JAnes Butler had not been spared to reap similar rewards. In him the State lost a faithful servant, a gallant soldier, and an ac plished gentleman. It was a duty he owed to a: other brother soldier, an old pupil of the Military Academy, who was now serving in the East, to mention the gal-' kilt services of his friend, Lieutenant Ballard, of the Bombay Engineers. That officer, when affairs in Silk tria looked desperate and the prospect of r, lief all but hopeless, volunteered his valuable assi,tance, and essen tially contributed to the suci?es-ful defence of the for tress. ("Hear," and chews.) It was he who performed the last kind services on earth to poor Butler. (Sensa tion.) He hoped he might be pardoned for taking that opportunity to correct what he conceived to be an err( - neous impression prevalent in this country as to the qualities of the Turkish soldiers, and of bearing his tes timony, after ample opportunities of judgin,g of them, to their patient endurance and unsurpassed courage under circumstances of difficulty and of danger.
