There aas an unusual attendance in their lordships' house this evening ; the galleries on either side of the h )use were filled wits ladies. The neighbourhood of the throne was densely crowded, as also were the galleries devoted to the members of the House of Commons, among whom we observed Sir de Dacy Evans. The Earl St. Germans appeared in the house this evening for the first time since his return from Ireland. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the mayor and corporation of Kidderminster, in favour of summary jurisdiction being given to magiArates. The noble and learned 1(.1.1 said that, seeing his noble friend the late Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland in his place, he begged to give notice that tomorrow be should ask him a question relative to the liberation of Mr. Carden, who had been convicted of the abduction of Miss Arbuthnott. THE ACTION OF BALAKLAVA. The Earl of LUCAN then rose to move fora copy of the report of Lord Raglan of the action of Balaklava, and also for a copy of the report of Lieut.-Gen. the Earl of Lucan to Field-Marshal Lord Raglan of that action. The noble lord said he thought it due to their lordships as well as himself that the house should become acquainted with, his conduct at the action at Balaklava. He had applied for a cour:martial, but it had been refused, he being told that there was no precedent for such a pro ceeding, but he thought that there was no precedent of a nobleman having a charge of the most serious descrip tion preferred against him, he having held the command of the cavalry in the field of battle. He could not be lieve that in this house, great as might be the respect for precedent, that that respect would stand in the way of justice while he attempted to ac quit himself of one of the most serious charges that could be brought against any man. To do so he should have to take their lordships through the whole of the pro ceedings at Balaklava. On the morning of the 24th October, he received a message from Sir Colin Camp bell, and he felt it but due to that gallant general to say that a braver soldier did not exist, informing him that a spy had arrived with the news of the approach of the Russian army. Sir C. Campbell said he (Lord Lucan) thought the report of the spy so important and deserving of attention, that Sir C. Campbell wrote a letter to Lord Raglan, communicating the fact which he (Lord Lucan) sent by his aide-de-camp. The infor mation was, that an army of 24,000 Russians were rapidly approaching. His aide-de-camp informed him that he had delivered the letter to Brigadier-General Airey for the Field-Marshal. Lord Raglan sent no reply, bat if anything new occurred to report it to him (Lord Raglan) at break of day. [LEFT BITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS EVENING.) The SMILER took the chair shortly before 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BILLS. The following bills were considered, and ordered to be read• a third time:—Brighton Improvement Commis sioners and Municipal Corporation, Folkestone Water, Hoarwithy Bridge, Lands Improvement Company, Price's Patent Candle Company, Ratcliffe Gas, and Sur rey Gas, PETITIONS. Mr. THORN ELY presenter] a petition from the iron merchants and metal brokers of Liverpool in favour of a decimal system of coinage. Mr. BAXTER presented a petition f:om Forfar, praying for the repeal of the newspaper stamp. Sir G. PECHELL presented a petition from Brighton to the same effect. Mr. LAYAIID, Lori DUNGARVAN, and other hon. mem bers, presented petitions praying that the sale of intoxi cating liquors may be prohibited on the whole of Sunday. Mr. H. BERKELEY presented two petitions, one from Duckinfield, and the other from Ashton-under- Lyne, praying for the repeal of the beer act of last ses sion. Sir B. HALL presented three petitions from Mary lebone —one praying for the repeal of the newspaper stamp, another in favour of the Public Health Bill, and the third praying the National Gallery and British Museum may be opened on Sundays. Mr. CRAUFURD presented two petitions from places in Scotland praying for the repeal of the newspaper stamp. GOVERNMENT OF THE METROPOLIS. Sir B. HALL brought in his bill for the better Local Management of the Metropolis, which was read a first time, ana ordered to be read a second time on the 16th of April. Mr. KERSHAW presented a similar petition from Stockport. Sir J. V. SHELLEY presented a similar petition from 2,480 of the letter-press printers of the metropolis. Mr. HUDSON presented a similar petition from the Mayor and Corporation of Sunderland. Mr. M. GIBSON presented a petition from a person 111 bumble life, named Joseph Cooper, complaining that his vide bad absconded, and praying for a law of divorce tThe hat should be alike available by the poor as the rich. honourable member also presented a large number et p eti tions prayi ng f or the repeal of the newspaper stamp. im.... sayr,IIASSENGER TRAINS. steps had been asked 4 her Majesty's Government what steps it was propo se d t y o the ta i c Board of Trade, and what take, in order to oblige every ra il wa y company to establialieor.i ecommunication between ever passenger train? the guard and engine -driv er Was Sir G. GREY said g p h e t p i a n red last session on and owever, such would shortly this subject, but it was not brought; a bill was now ready for introduction . be brought in. ___ ~._ ....__ ORDER OF MERIT. Captain SCOBELL a,ked the First Lord o f the sury whether her Majesty's G overnment had decided to oa recommend the institution o f an order of merit ; if ste whether such order was intended to be a new and distinct one, restricted to the military and naval services, and applicable to everygrade therein ; and whether itwas de termined to bring such order of merit into prompt operation ? Lord PALMERSTON said it was the intention of the Government to establish an order of the description. Of course, it would apply to both services ; but the ar rangements for the institution of the order wore not yet settled. NEW WRIT FOR CAVAN. Mr. GROGAN asked if Sir J. Young had accepted the office of Lord Dish Commissioner of the lonian Islands ? Sir G. GREY replied in the affirmative. Mr. GROGAN begg€d leave, under those circum stances, to move that the Speaker do issue his warrant to the Clerk of the Crown to make out a new writ for the election of a knight of the shire for the county of Cavan, in the room of the rlglat hen, hart. The motion was agreed to. TRANSPORT SERVICE. /tr. 94YLEY alkod tho hon e member for Tynemoutb when he intended to bring on his motion relating to the transport service ? Mr. LINDSAY said, unless the Government would give him a day for the purpose he must bring it forward on going into supply. NEWSPAPER STAMP DUTY. The house then went into a committee of the whole house on the Newspaper Stamp Duty. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opened his statement to the committee by referring to the committee of 1851, and having read a passage from the report of that committee expressing an opinion that it was desirable to tax news, he observed that last session the house agreed unanimously to a resolution calling upon the Government to take the subject into their serious consideration. Lord Aberdeen's Government accordingly took the mat ter in hand, and the result of their deliberation was the measure introduced by his predecessor (Mr. Gladstone). The principle of stamping portions only of a publication was first introduced by the Athenceant, but afterwards the same concession was made to a large number of class pub lications circulating news relating to the particular subjects to which they addressed themselves. That was the state of things which the late Government had to deal with ; and, rather than make the law more stringent by en forcing it in the case of all publications containing any thing in the shape of news, the Government determined still further to relax the law. The measure which he now proposed to introduce was similar in principle to the one brought in by his predecessor. He proposed to male it optional with the publishers of periodicals appearing within intervals not exceeding 31 days to stamp their papers just as they thought fit. The penalties, therefore, for publishing a newspaper without a stamp would be repealed, but the existing law relating to dimensions, registration, and giving securities would be continued, while proprietors wishing to have their publications stamped would be required to conform to the existing rules regulating the issue of newspaper stamps. It had been the policy of this country to treat newspa pers as an exceptional clue of publications. They were allowed large postal privileges, and were easy of circula tion ; and hence the necessity for giving the State and individuals some security against the publication of sedi tion, blasphemy, and libels. This past, however, of the proposed measure had no relation to the question of stamps as affecting the exchequer ; it had reference more to the subject of the civil and criminal law of the !and, and Government, therefore, were quite ready to leave this branch of the bill to the decision of the house. The c'iange in the law which the Government now proposed was simply this : it would extend to all newspapers the cane privilege of being stamped or unstamped at the option of the proprietors that was now enjoyed by class publications. It was said that this change would give rise to great confusion in the business management o. a newspaper, but lie was assured by the manager of Pit 011, theA theneenns, and IllusteatedNews that no such inconveni ence would arise, as experience proved in the case of the two former periodicals. A second objection to the change was cf a much more serious character. It was said, in deed, that it would open the flood-gates of sedition, blasphemy, and private scandal, but he did not believe that, because the existing cheap publications were quite free of such a taint, thus showing that the taste of the multitude did not run in the direction which those who urged this second objection supposed. To go into details :—There were many publications un stamped which were sold at a low rate, and circulated among a poorer class of readers. One of these was a penny weekly periodical, called the London Journal, whose circulation amounts to more than half a mil lion per week. The circulation exceeds by ten millions that of the Times. It is one of the model of the old Penny Magazine, and may not be very instructive, but its contents are not of the low character so much dreaded by the objectors to this measure. Then there was another publication, the Fancily Herald, the circu lation of which amounts to 12 3 / 4 millions per annum. Now, these are indications of a taste in the lower class of readers for innocuous publi cations. But, as the reverse of this, there were a series of publications of a lo ,yer class, which were now foi tu nately extinct ; and others, such ae the Age, the Satirist, and others, have ceased to exist ; and it may be said that no offensive or injurious publication enjoys a very long existence. Now, to a certain ex tent, there were newspapers enjoying a large circulation, which we published at a cheaper rate than the ordinary daily and weekly publications, which enjoy a large cir culation amongst the lower class of readers. Two of these were the News of the World and Lloyd's 11 , eddy Newspaper, which enjoy the largest circulation of any weekly newspaper, and were published at 3d. Now, it might be questioned whether there was anything to regret in this. If the means of the people preclude them from obtainirg papers of higher price, and if they were moral in their tendency, there could be nothing to object to them. (Hear, hear.) The pre sent necessity of imposing a stamp on every copy of a local newspaper is very frequently attended by detri mental effects ; and he would take the opportunity of reading an extract from a letter from the pen of the hon. member for Lynn (Lord Stanley) in regard to this subject. Now, under the measure he proposed it would be op tional in a local newspaper proprietor to issue his paper stamped or unstamped, according as he found it desir able. No newspaper could attain any considerable suc cess without a good number of advertisements. Now, a small local newspaper would never become a favourable medium for advertisements, and consequently it never could become a very flourishing or extended newspaper, and would never be able to compete with larger newspapers with resources derived from nume rous advertisements. But if any demand for a new class of newspapers should exist, the facility for their establishment would be afforded by the pro posed abolition of the present restrictions. If at the present moment they had not a surplus fund in their Treasury, and the income of the country did not exceed its expenditure, the newspaper stamp would have a just claim to abolition. But, the case being different, he considered its claims were still more urgent in this par ticular, and were entitled to due consideration. At the present time the income derived from the newspaper stamp was 400,0001. per annum, and, considered as a question of revenue only, the loss to the country, by the abolition of the stamp, would occasion a loss of at least 200,0001. per annum to the revenue. The right hon. gentleman next adverting to the book post, he observed that the Government had determined to re duce the charges upon publications transmitted through the post ; but, for various reasons, deeming it proper that the two questions should be kept separate, ho should deal with that measure at another period. Having now explained his plan relative to the newspaper stamp, he begged leave to submit the following resolutions : " That it is expedient to amend the laws relating to the stamp duties on newspapers, and to provide for the trans mission by post of printed periodical publications. "That any periodical publication, to be entitled to the privilege of transmissive and retransmission by the post, shall be printed on paper stamped for denoting the stamp duty imposed by law on a newspaper, printed on the like number of sheets or pieces of paper, and of the like dimen sions with respect to the superficies, of the letterpress thereof. " That printed nowspapers(British, Colonial, or Foreign) shall be transmitted by the post between places in the United Kingdom and her Majesty Colonies or Foreign Countries, or between any ports or places beyond the sea (whether through the United Kingdom or not), either free of postage or subject to such rates of postage, not exceed ing two pence for each newspaper, irrespective of any charge for foreign postage, as the commissioners of the Treasury, or her Majesty's Postmaster-General with their consent, shall from time to time think fit." Mr. GLADSTONE quite agreed with his right hon. friend as to the propriety of hie bill being printed and submitted for the consideration of the house before insti tuting any comparison between it and the one he had had the honour to propose, or, indeed, of expressing any opinion upon the contemplated change. He was glad when his right hon. friend say that he was not indisposed to introduce into his bill a plan for the transmi , sion by post at a cheaper rate of printed matter in general. This he conceived would not imterfere at all with the principles of his measure, for he saw no rea son why the benefit should be confined to publica tions which were published at intervals of 31 days exclusively, and not extended to all publications in which the writers were desirous of giving the public the benefit of their thoughts. There was every necessity for alteration in this respect. Redid intend to enter at length into the question of periodicals, but lie would only say at present that ho did not altogether agree with his right at present a law i that: friend ' s definition of that term, and he thought gar p d oi t t r ‘v eg o i u s ld arteioqi?iet was quite t e c consideration. ertahteiroen is With rteising publeiexait'itirg requiring the registration of adver blasphe‘moZiss, and securities that it shall not con tainof the anornalie.smaotlier. But this he regarded as one , able friend proposing to heard of his right homoderu law ; and when he I embody the regnlia4oluiirerrecihuiring securities, he tr ansrnis u s l io sswna was disposed to of retaining a requiroment foun v ilec e l re such til ea polic ybasls o o f f newspapers , copyright or what bad it to do with the p a ri c se l d to by post. With regard to the proteetiownnas liteiary property in publications, h e find his right hon. friend bad not introduceudr upon that subject. He was aware that it wad rather a difficult matter to deal with, but, at the same timeer he thought that it was one which required especial attention. (Hear.) He had understood that the great anxiety of those who were interested in the question was not so much the right of what they called their views as protection to their literary compositions, such as leading articles, The quegtpn, tie would rewind the ~~ THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 19, 1855, house, was not whether they would have a cheap press or not. They had one already, as his right hon. friend had informed the house. They certainly had not got it in the country, but unquestionably in the metropolis ; but these wore prevented from dis cussing public matters and the insertion of news. The question, therefore, was whether they would give those cheap publications an opportunity of enlightening the public on subjects of general interest, or whether they would drive them to fill their columns with inferior and worthless matter, such as romances and novels. The ques tion was whether they would not throw open free com petition in news, and apply that great principle to the press which had been found to work so well in another and equally important point of view. At the same time he hoped that some protection would be extended to literary compositions. He cordially agreed with the spirit and object of the resolutions before the house, and he felt assured the bill, when introduced, would receive fair and impartial consideration. Sir F. BARING observed that his right hon. friend had referred to the question of revenue, and the loss which the abolition of the stamp would occasion. Whilst he was by no means opposed to the principle of the bill, at the same time be should recommend that it be postponed until his right bon. friend had made his financial statement, when the house would be in a position to take a fair and comprehensive view of the proposition and to judge how far they would be justified in dispens ing with so large an amount of income. There could be no objection to the introductfon of the bill, but he trusted that it would not be proceeded with until the budget bad been brought forward. (Hear, hear.) Mr. M. GIBBON thought his noble friend (Mr. F. Baring) had not placed th a t quest i on on i ts pro per basis. The abolition of the newspaper stamp was not a purely fiscal measure, and he there fore thought it was unfair to offer even a tem porary opposition to a proposal which incidentally pro duced a loss of a comparatifely small amount of revenue. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. This evening mails for the land and sea forces in Tur key, the Piraeus (Greece), the Crimea, and the Black Sea will be made up and despatched, via Marseilles, from which port they will be forwarded by French packet to their destination. As a distinct mail will be made up fir and landed at Scutari as the packet gasses by that place, letters intended for persons residing there should be specially addressed "Hospital, Scutari," which will obviate any delay that might otherwise be occasioned by the correspondence being conveyed to the army in the Crimea or the fleet in the Black Sea. Persons send ing letters to any of the above-mentioned places are cau tioned to have them pre-paid, otherwise they will be de tained at the General Post-office. The same regulation is applicable to letters addressed to persons in the tran sport service. The advanced or flying squadron about to sail for the Baltic will consist of the following ships :—lmperieuse, Euryalus, Arrogant, Esk, Archer, and Conflict ; the pre sent orders are to sail to-morrow morning for the Downs. To each of the screw line-of-battle ships about to proceed to the Baltic a steam gun-boat will be attached, and to assist in manning them five additional marines have been embarked in each of these ships. Ad vices received from Nyborg, under date of March 14, describe the ice in the Bolt as still fast, not a bit of open water to be seen, and from 3 to 4 degrees of frost ; at Frederickshavn the sea was covered with ice as far as the eye could reach ; the light vessels at the mouth of the Weser and Cuxhaven had returned to their stations. The opening of the Baltic navigation it was considered would be later than usual this season. Letters from the fleet off Sebastopol, dated the 27th and 26th ult., supply U 3 with the fact only surmised in Lord Raglan's last despatches relative to the sinking of more of their fleet by the Russians:— " During the night of the 25th the Russians sank three more of their line of-battle ships and a frigate inside the boom at the mouth of the harbour of Sebastopol, and, by what we can see through glas-us, they appear to be leaking with them another barrier across the harbour, an l, as it appears as yet only half-way across, I suppose, when ready, they will sink some more to complete it, which will leave but two or three of their boasted Black Sea Fleet. We aro erecting new batteries which would have commanded their ships ; so, sooner than see them destroyed by us, they are sinking them in the most advantageous posi tion ; that is the only conclusion we can come to." There were in harbour at Balaklava on the 26th ult. the Leander, 59 ; Diamond, 28 ; Weep, 14 ; Vesuvius, 6 ; Spiteful, 6 ; and Caradoc, 2. The Spiteful was to sail for the fleet directly the weather moderated. The Megwra troop-ship was employed in running between Sinop(' and Kaniiesh Bay with cattle for the supply of the fleet. The Cressy was ordered by signal yesterday morning to prepare to receive dockyard artificers te-day. On Friday she sent away her shells, powder, and some of her guns, preparatory to going into dock. On Ssturday the orders for her going into dock were countermanded, and the gulls, stores, &e., reshipped. The necessary repairs are now to be effected at Spithead. Great inconvenience is experienced and heavy expenses incurred by the officers and men of the fleet at Spithead having to provide conveyance for themselves in water men's boats to and from the shore. Thu officers of one ship are paying between 4/. and Si. per week for a wherry to attend on their mess. The Crcesus, steam transport, left Portsmouth on Sa turday with the troops before reported for Malta and Corfu. The fleet at Spithead yesterday was augmented by the arrival of the Tartar, 21, Capt.

K. Halt, on Friday end the Commander-in-Chief of the sta tion, Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C., re hoisted his on Saturday night. Yesterany, tst 1 p.m., all the ships mounting above 10 guns in the port fired a general Royal salute, in honour of the Bth anniversaryof the birthday of her Royal Highness the Princess Louisa Caroline Alberta. The Commander-in-Chief of the Fleet, Rear-Admiral the Hon. H. S. Dundas, C. 8., struck his flag on board the Duke of Wellington on Saturday night and went on 48 hours' leave to complete his personal preparations for sea. The Odin, 16, Captain Willcox, was reported off the port last night. The " flying squadron," signalled to prepare for sailing yesterday, bad not unmoored or made any appearance of starting when this left (by the last train), at 5 o'clock last even ing. Heavy gales had been blowing all day on Saturday and yesterday, which would render any getting away from the anchorage more than problematical. The following ships and vessels are in Portsmouth harbour, or in the basins and docks, fitting out or refit ting to join the above fleet : Ships.

On Friday the whole of the Royal Artillery in Wool wich garrison, with the exception of those on duty, as sembled in review order at 11 o'clock, sad were formed into hollow square on the cruardenounting parade under the command of Colonel Anderson, to witness the pre sentation of the good conduct medals to the 21 recipients at present at Woolwich, out of the 56 awarded. Many of the non-commissioned officers and men to whom medals and gratuities have been awarded are at present serving in the Crimea. Ono company of the 79th, consisting of 120 men, has been dranghted from Aberdeen for service in the Crimea, , viceruni in the first pierce to Malta. what is called "Lord Panmure's own regiment," the depot has thus become more than ever popular, and received about 400 recruit at Aberdeen—a number unprecedented au the annals of recruiting in the north of Scotland since the regiment was first raised. One company of the 93d have left Dundee, and one of the 42d Stirling Castle, for the same destination. The recruits in these companies, though for the most part under 20 years of age, are in general fine healthy young teen, those in the 79th parti cularly so, most of then being from service in the coun try, where they had wages ranging from 31. 103. to 51. in the half year, besides victuals. The Penelope, Sir W. Wiseman, commander, arrived in Queenstown on Thursday from Portsmouth, to take out a detachment of Artillery to the Cape of Good Hope. Government, it is stated, have decided upon increasing the garrison of Athlone, and accommodation is to be prepared forthwith for the reception of 1,000 troops. Mr. Samuel Butler, of the Royal Engineer depart ment, for some time past stationed in Athlone, proceeded on Friday evening to the Curragh of Kildare, to assist in the formation of an encampment for 10,000 troops. Colonel Elers Napier having sent out to the Crimea a number of camp kettles of a most superior description to any before invented, which he had made at Portsmouth upon his own model, has just received an acknowledg ment of their usefulness from an officer of high rank and command at the seat of war. Lord Cardigan, as Inspector-General of Cavalry, ar rived At iSli.)idstone on Friday morning, and was met at the station by Colonel Griffiths, commandant of the de pot. His lordship then proceeded thither and inspected a detachment of the 13th Light Dragoons, from Dorches ter, lately arrived to take charge of a number of horses recently trained for this regiment. Ile then inspected a number of other horses undergoing training, and also the recruits for the 13th. At the conclusion he asked if any man had a complaint to make, but no dissatisfac tion was expressed. VACATING OF SEATS IN PARLIAMENT.—A bill has been introduced by Messrs.

By her Majesty's Royal 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 31 inches, with au 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 countenance three miles and a half distant, and an object from 16 to 20 miles. They are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers accordingly ; while their vary ing from 4 to 6, inches enaMe us to discover more than the above, and the Georgian, with his 6 satellites, &c.—The Royal Exhibition, 1861.—Valuable, newly-invented, very small, powerful waistcoat-pocket glass,the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen and known 1i 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 est 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 require the frequent changes to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Deaf ness —New Discovery. —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 11.41 tli,Linetly at eira- at public assemblies; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in the ears is entirely removed; and it affords all the assist. aim that possibly could bo desired. 39, Albeznatie-fitrOet e rigo4l,ly, (Thileryo...oppwsiW a TO* HOW.

ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL COM- MITTEE.-(THIS DAY.) (Continued from our fi,•st edition.) Mr. Stafford.—Examination continued,—He was on board that transport during her passage, and the men were pretty much in the state he had described already ; but they were sustained by medical comforts, arrow root, and the like. By Sir J. Paking,ton—The wounded men who were brought to Scutari were frequently exposed to the in clemency of the weather, six or seven hours after being landed. Sometimes they were left in the open square before the hospital, and sometimes in the corri dor, but this was contrary to rule. A considerable number of the soldiers whom he saw at Scutari had never recovered their knapsacks after giving them up before their lauding in the Crimea. Some ratained them throughout the campaign, but being at last' unable to carry them, had left them at Balaklava. lie had never been able to ascertain what became of the quantities of stores which had been sent gut, but he had little doubt that they lad been greatly wasted. By Air. Ellice—When he first visited the Scutari hos pi al he found a want of every necessary, but things after wards improved. Many patients were on the ground, and many remained so up to the day he left. He was not aware how far the Ambassador's instructions ex tended, but he presumed he had authority to furnish whatever was deficient. By Mr. Layard—He was of opinion that a better com munication by steam between Constantinople and Scutari wa3 very desirable, and he represented the matter to Admiral Boxer, but he could not entertain the id e a. Admiral Boxer did not know his name at first, but when he ascErtained it he was very civil, but declined to have anything to do with the recommendation. Mr. Lajard—Will you be kind enough to tell us what took place at that interview ? Mr. Stafford (hesitatingly)—Well, Admiral Boxer is a sailor of the old school ; he was very civil to me, and— Mr. Layard--We can judge of the nature of his con duct towards you ; but do you not know that it is a notorious fact that Admiral Boxer insulted everybody who called upon him about matters of business ? Mr. Stafford—He did not insult me, but certainly his language wasinsulting rather than otherwise. (Laughter.) Mr. Laya,rd----Do you know the course which Miss Nightingale adopted at the hospital ? Mr. Statior.l—Shc made out requisitions to the diffe rent departments for things that were required. She put herself in communication with Mr. Osborne, who would come before the committee for examination, and could speak more positively as to that. Mr. Osborne was in communication with Mr. Macdonald of the Times, and accordingly quantities of stores were constantly flowing into the hospital. Examination continued—lt was medical comforts which were more required than probably anything else when he was there. Dietaries were sometimes impro perly administered, and ho knew of the case of one poor fellow who died, and to whom somebody else's low.dlet had been given, when be required the greatest nourish ment. The .cookiag was partly done in the open air. When he first went there hri did think there was any washing at all done. There was a great deficiency of officials at the Scutari hospitals, but they were invariably humane to the unfortunate sick and wounded, and seemed always exerting themselves to do their duty, but the arrivals came so numerously upon them that it was almost impossible to meet the emergency in an efficient manner. He and a number of kiadly disposed persons then rendered their ac tive personal assistance to the officials in lauding the sick and wounded, carrying them to the hospital, and attenling to their immediate necessities and com forts afterwards. Mr. Layard--Did you see the Ambassador at all ? Mr. Stafford— Yes, I saw him twice. Mr. Layard—Did you make any representation to him as to the state of the hospital ? Mr. Stafford—Yes ; I talked over the affairs of the hospital with him. Layard—Did he visit the hospital at all whils you were there - Mr. Stafford—Yes, once. Mr. Layard—Did matters improve afterwards ?, Mr. Stafford—Yes ; but the state of things at the hospital was continually improving whilst I was there. Examination continued—The convalescents discharged from Scutari were sometimes in a very unfit state for embarkation. By Mr. J. Ball—When he had the interview with Major Sillery he was aware that the ambassador had authority.to order whatever was required in the hospi tal ; but he did not know whether Major Sillery was acquainted with that circumstance, nor did he (Mr. Stafford) know whether Lord Stratford de Redcliffe had informed Major Sillery that such was the case. The Duke of Newcastle encouraged him to prosecute his observations on the spot, and the letter of his grata on the subject was highly creditable to him. He had no communication with Commissary- General Filder or any other official at the camp rela tive to the green coffee. Captain Jocelyn Percy was next called and was exa mined by Mr. Drummond. He stated that he went out with the professional nurses on the 2,1 December to Scutari, and had pail a great deal of attention to the hospitals and visited them at night to see that the nurses did their duty. 47 nurseaweat out with him. From what he had seen of the sol diers' wives there, he should say it was perfectly impos sible to organise them for any useful purposes connected with the hospitals. Captain Percy then went on to describe the condition in which he found the hospitals, which accorded with the accounts previously given by other witnesses. He said he was only there a fort night. Tue committee adjourned at about a quarter to four o'clock until to-morrow. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.---A fashionably-dressed foreigner, who gave the name of Franca 1301 Alatan, was charged be fore Mr. Henry with stealing wearing apparel, &c, o , from dwelling-houses. Dr. W. J. Collins, of 4(5, Gloucester-road, Regent's park, stated that on Friday week the prisoner called at his residence and inquired for him. He was shown into a waiting room to which witness at •nce repaired, asking him what he wanted. lie replied that he had brought something from Paris, which would be of interest to him in his profession. Witness replied, " I know nothing of you, snd must request that you will immediately leave my house." He (witness) suspected him from the first moment of seeing him, and believing that he was one of those persons who had been so repeatedly de scribed in the newspapers as visiting gentlemen's houses for the purpose of robbing them, he kept a sharp eye on the prisoner, and caw him safe out of the house to pre vent the possibility of his :picking up anything in the hall on Lis way to the door. Shortly after the fellow's departure, however, he missed his cloth cloak from the hall, and then he remembered that the prisoner had one across his arm, when witness found him waiting in the room, but which he, of course, concluded was his own ; he could not hare supposed it possible for a man to have the assurance to steal his coat, and then, without any attempt to conceal it, coolly wait for an interview with the owner of the property. This, however, was precisely what the prisoner did, for when he was taken into cus tody on another charge of felony, he was found wearing the cloak which he had jest previously stolen from witness. Tho prisoner sail, in broken English, that it was quite an accident. He had hung his own cloak on the same peg, in the hall, as the doctor's, and on taking it down again must have carried the doctor's with it—because, to his astonishment after he had left the house, he found himself in possession of two cloaks instead of one. He did not like to return it to the doctor's residence for fear ho should " misbelieve" that the accident was un intentional. Mr. Henry said the prisoner wal quite at liberty to tell that story to the jury, and if they believed it, they would, no doubt, acquit him. A second charge was preferred against the prisoner by the landlord of the Market Coffez-nouse, James-street, Covent-gar.len, where he took a bed for the night, but cod io t n o g d ir e g ea h :i) efi ll y , it t li o % - t th e e itr s i e n r g va .T t i s q . trel to value chMr* Henry committed the prisoner f or t r i a l on b ot h arge 3. limmougew 11Miim THE MILITIA.

The North Durham Regiment, under the command of Earl Vane, the colonel, is progressing rapidly at drill.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. SOUTH-EASTERN The adjourned meeting of this company was held on Saturday, at the Bridge-house Hotel, London Bridge, for the purpose of receiving the report of the scrutineers respecting the votes given in the election of seven direc tors, on the non demanded at the meeting on Thursday. The Hon. Mr. Byng was in the chair. The Scrutineers, in making their report, said they de sired to record their sense of the extreme efficiency of the staff by whom they had been assisted. On the poll taken on the fourteen candidates on a stock amounting to 7,500,0001. they had been enabled, in one day and one night, accurately to take the poll, which, but for the most perfect arrangement, inu,t have been spread over several days ; and in this expression of general satisfac tion, they desired specially to acknowledge the labours of the Secretary, Mr. Smiles, and Mr. Randall, transfer clerk. The CHAIRMAN then proceeded to declare that Mr. A. Beattie, who had been elected by the boar." on the resignation of Sir J. Campbell, was continued in office by 27,603 votes against 21,504. He had also to declare that Mr. Jonathan Mellor, Mr. Charles Gilpin, and Mr. W.G.Thompson were duly elected directors in the place of the three directors retiring, the numberof votes being for Mr. Mellor, 42,237 ; for Mr. Gilpin, 28,230 ; and for Mr. Thompson, 28,100. He had further to declare that the three candidates who had the greatest number of votes next to those given to three gentlemen whose names he had ju t mentioned, were Mr. Anderson, 26,560 ; Mr. Rich, 26,400 ; and Mr. Cross, 26,365 ; and he had to state that the board were prepared to act upon the recommendation of the sl:areholders to appoint the gentlemen whose namcs he had jug given to the three seats to be filled up, in pursuance of the vote for in creasing the number of directors to twelve. Votes of thanks were given to the scrutineers, and to Mr. Morgan, who retires from the office of auditor, and the meeting then broke up. IRISH RAILWAYS. LONGFORD AND CAVAN RAILWAY EXTENSION. As the weather becomes favourable these works have been resumed with increased vigour; additional hands have been employed, and numbers of the labouring classes thereby relieved from severe privation. Owing to the demand for labour tbns created it becomes a mat ter of anxiety with many agriculturists how labourers will be procured. The inclemency of the season has so retarded out-door operations that much will have to be accomplished in alshort time, spring being pretty well advanced before husbandry could be commenced.-- Wcstracath Independent.

HOME CIRCUIT.—MAinsToNE, 11.1ARcH 16. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Platt.) THE ROCHESTER MURDER. Elizabeth, Avis Laws, 13 years of age, and of a re markably girlish appearance, was indicted for the mur der of her mistress, Catharine Bacon. There was also a charge of stealing property belonging to the deceased. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Denman conducted the prosecu tion ; Mr. Ribton defended. • Mr. Bodkin having given an outline of the case for the prosecution, Hannah Daggett, a milk vendor, deposed that she took some milk to the house of deceased on the morr.ing of the 29th January last, the day of the murder. Pri soner received the milk from witness. It was then ten minutes past eight. Henry Palmer, a young lad, knocked and rang two or three minutes at deceased's door, on the morning refer red to, to ask if he should sweep away the snow. Pri soner, at last, unbolted and opened the door, and he saw that;she was bleeding from a wound in her throat. Ran away, and gave an alarm. Was on the terrace about a quarter:;ol an hour before he knocked, but saw no one about. Samuel Smith, summoned to the spot by the last wit ness, found prisoner standing with her throat cut. Went into the first-floor bed-room, nod saw the dody of deceased partly lying in the room and partly in the passage, so that the door could not be shut. Deceased was dressed ex cept her gown. Dr. Gammie, 94th Regiment, deposed that he went to the house, 11, Ordnance-terrace, about half-past nine. Saw the body of deceased, who had apparently been dead about an hour. Found serious wounds at the back of her head, either of which would have been fat'l. Qiestioned prisoner as to who had done it, and she answered, " Two men who came for dust did it with a clever." She stated also that one of the men had cut her throat in the kitchen, and that they then left the house, and slammed the door after them. Witness found an axe in the cellar with blood on it, and in the kitchen was a bloody knife ou the dresser. There was a pool of blood in the kitchen. From the appearance of prisoner's throat, thought the wound had been inflicted about half an hour before he saw it. It was such as [night have been in flicted by herself. When he first asked prisoner about the matter, she could not speak, but shook her head, and pointed up stairs. Prisoner subsequently told him that one of the men had carried the body of deceased up stairs. The wound on prisoner's throat was not of a serious character. The deceased was a small, short person, and very thin. Barnabas Howes, constable, examined the house. Found a pail of bloody water. On the following day, in company with Superintendent Everist, found some articles of clothing in the privy belonging to the house. Mr. Matthew Bacon, son of deceased, said deceased did not in his opinion weigh more than four stone. No one resided in the house but herself and the prisoner. Deceased frequently came down partially dressed, and finished dressing in the kitchen. Deceased always fed the cat herself. On the morning of the murder, about half-past nine, saw his mother's body, and observed that the face had been washed. Prisoner, after a question several times repeated, told him she had washed the face of deceased. Saw no appearance of any struggle having taken place in the kitchen. (The witness then de• sceibed the appearance of the cellar, kitchen, etc.) Witness, after examining the lower part of the house went up stairs and saw three of his mother's keys lying on a chair. Deceased usually carried these keys in her pocket, and they opened drawers where other keys were kept, one of .which opened a box where his mother kept her money. He opened that box during the morning, and found it contained 1001. in money and cheques. He had since been shown a variety of articles which he recognised as the property of his mother. Cross-examined—My mother was in the habit of keep ing about 1001. in the house. She has had about five different servants during the last two years. Mr. Robert Atkinson, surgeon, described the injuries sustained by deceased. Was certain the deceased could never have rallied after the infliction of the first blow it must have entirely stunned her. Was of opinion that the wound in the prisoner's neck was one she could have inflicted herself, and he saw no other mark of in jury about her, and she did not complain of any. While he was examining the prisoner, a bloody piece of paper fell from her breast, and, upon opening it, he found it contained a brooch and a ring. The paper was crumpled up in a careless manner. Cross-examinel.—The prisoner was for some time in imminent danger from the wound she had received. Some of the wounds on deceased might have been caused by a fall. Mr. Thomas Everest, superintendent of police, in searching the prisoner's room, at the house in Ordnance terrace, found a duplicate, and in the bed of the prisoner there were two books, one of which was " Othello," and the other the "Arabian Nights." He also found a dress, and in the pocket of that dress there was another duplicate, and also a florin and a sixpence. There was another dress in the room on which there were marks of blood, behind and at the pocket. The blood appeared to have soaked through from the outside of the dress. Witness then went down into the cellar and found the marks of blood from thence to the privy. The door of the kitchen presented the appearance of having been opened by a bloody hand. Upon the seat of the privy there were appearances as though something had been forced down, and upon examining it, he found a dress, a shawl, and a front of false hair belonging to the deceased: There was a great deal of blood inside the shawl and also upon the dress, and the latter was also very much torn. Witness afterwards examined the back kitchen, and found two saucers on the floor of the kitchen ; they had milk in them, and they were so near the pool of blood that it appeared to have splashed into them. There was also some cooked lights close to the saucers. Witness afterwards traced blood from the kitchen to the upper part of the house, and near the in- side of the front door some blood appeared to have been spurted. The door was fastened by a latch, a spring -lock, and a chain sliding into a groove. There were more than a dozen bloody finger marks upon the inside of the door, as though a person had staggered against it, and there was a pool of blood about eighteen inches, inside the passage. There was also some blood upon the door chain. The deceased lady was a very light person, and he lifted her easily with one hand. On the Wednesday after the murder, he made a further search in the front cellar, and found a purse concealed in a tub of sand. It contained forty-one shillings and a sixpence, and many of the coins, as well as the purse it self, were bloody. Cross-examined—lt was about four o'clock in the forenoon of the 29th January that he found the dress, and he did not discern the blood upon it until two or three hours afterwards. The purse was in a tub of sand that was close by this chopping-block in the cellar. The statement made by the prisoner on the day of the murder (after due caution) to Mr. Boys, a magi strate of Rochester, was here put in as follows :—" This morning, after getting my mistress's breakfast ready, I was doing my work and was in the cellar chopping of wood ; a knock came to the front door ; I went up and answered it, and there were two men, one of them asked if I wanted the ashes taken away ; whilst I was answering the other one came in the door ; my mistress, hearing me talking, came down stairs almost imme diately • she had got her gown an d h an dk erc hi e f on h er arm, and went down stairs into the kitchen, and I went down at the same time with the other man, and I was , so frightened I did not know what to say or what to do ; the man who came in first attacked my mistress, who ran into the cellar in front. I called out fur help two or three times, and my mistress called very loud for help also, and then the other man pulled me about for ever so long to try to take liberties with me, and after ill-using my mistress ever so long he dragged her up stairs. I don't know any more that followed, than I kept screaming, and the man that was down stairs in the kitchen, took a knife off the dresser and drew it across my throat and then left me. He then went up stairs ; he had not been up long before there came another knock at the front door, and after some time I managed to crawl up through the passage to the front door, and that is all I know. I know the dress of the men well, for one man had got corded trousers and a great coat with a red comforter round his neck, and the other one dressed in what I think they call fustian ; I have seen the men before, but do not know their names. I think it is snore than a week since they came to the front door in the same way as this morning ; there was a donkey and cart at the front gate when the men first knocked at the door • the man that was do wn s t a i rs with me I bit his band so severely as to make my teeth very nearly meet. One of the men looked about 20 or 21 years of age ; the other, I think, looked a little older ; the shortest and the oldest of the two it was whose hand I bit. I wish particularly to add that I took a ring and brooch off the mantel piece belonging to my mistress, she having left them on the mantelpiece last night, and I was afraid the men would take them, so I took them off the mantel piece, but in my fright I do not know what has become of them." Susan Clark, servant in one of the houses adjoining to deceased's, said, in their kitchen they could hear what took place in the kitchen at No. 1. Was in their kit chen during the morning of the 29th of January, but heard no noise that attracted her attention. Cross-examined--She had occasion to go up-stairs to her mistress, and also into the garden during the morn ing before the alarm was given. Re-examined—Witness was not out of the kitchen more than five minutes altogether. Mary Jane Croucher, the servant at the house on the other side of the one occupied by the deceased, gave evi dence of a similar character. Elizabeth Parratt, formerly servant to deceased, de posed that while she was in deceased's service she was intimate with a servant at No. 10, and they used to knock at the wall, and they could hear each other do so, and it was a sort of signal between them. While she was with the deceased it was her custom to keep cat's victuals in the wood cellar, and the deceased always fed the cat herself, and gave her milk after she had her own breakfast. Mr. Bacon was here recalled, and he explained that his mother never came down stairs without having a dress on, but she frequently had another dress on her arm. The former witness's cross examination was then con tinued, and she proceeded to identify all the articles pro duced by the officer Eversst, as belonging to the deceased lady. She also paid that after the door was once opened in the morning it was only secured by the latch, and the ehain was never put up in the day time. The boy Palmer was here re-called, and he said he was certain that be beard the sound of a bolt being run bank Lt- .L open thu duor. Mr. W. Weeks, a pawnbroker at Chatham, proved that both the tickets found in the dress of the prisoner referrecl to property pledged by the prisoner in the name of Pocock, which was identified by Mr. Bacon as belong' ing to the deceased lady. It consisted of a satin dregs' pillow cases, towels, and other articles of the mile se c : scription. The dress was pawned on the Saturday , days before the murder, and the amount obtained al° it was 7s. Evidence was then given that on the Saturday bef ( l le the murder the prisoner had given same numbers ‘a dictionary to a person rained Swinyard, residing at Do e. cheAer ; and it appeared that she had always reP r t. sented to this person th a t th e d ece ased was her e°ll ' The books were identified as the property of gr°' Bacon.
