MPERIAL PARLIAMEj\ HOUSE OF COMMONS -YESTERDAY EDUCATION BILL. Mr. WALPOLE gave notice on the part of :-;ir J. Pakington, that that right hon. gentleman wou.d to morrow move that the second reading of his bill :would be postponed till the sth of June. THE SUNDAY BEER BILL. 24 r. H. BERKELEY gave notice that he ini ended to move for a committee to inquire into the work tog of an ad passed last session for tha further regulat "on of the sale of beer on the Lord's-day. He propok ed to bring forward his motion on St. Boniface's day. (1 (ear.) CIVIL SERVICE. Mr. MACARTNEY gave notice that, on the sth of June, he should, in the absence of the bill, so lot L; pro mised by the Government, move for leave to intr Alice a bill to alter the law affecting the civil service. MARRIAGES (SCOTLAND) BILL. Mr. HEADLAM, on rising to move the second read ing of the above bill, presented several petition from Scotland and the North of England, in favour •xf the same. The hen, gentleman said, in proposing this mea sure, he was not seeking to make any trifling or mere theoretic improvement of the law, but was endeav( nring in the most earnest manner in his power to repre a au evil the magnitude of which he could scarcely de Icribe without what would seem to be exaggeration, whir. i was lowering the character, destroying the moralit3 . and depraving the manners of the people in the no -them --parts of this island. The hon. gentleman after q toting some statistics showing the great number of llega,l marriages now contracted in Scotland, and th•- e v i l effects they produced ou the moral character f the people, concluded by moving the second reading • 4 tha bill. The LORD-ADVOCATE, though he could no. pro mise to support the bill in all its details, yet consif eri ng it was a praiseworthy attempt to grapple with a subject the evils of which he fully admitted, should not o f rpose the second reading of the bill. Mr. ELLIOTT opposed the second reading, 1 , Ting that the Lord-Advocate would himself introduce mea sure that would really grapple with the evils f the question, which this bill would not do. He move, that the bill be read a second time that day 6 months. Lord LOVAINE considered the present bill wt s cal culated to mitigate at least a portion of the ex tsting evils, and therefore he thought it would be unf tir to wait till the Scotch members should agree among them selves to a revision of the whole of the marriage 1 me of Scotland. Mr. NAPIER considered the difficulty of d ealing with this question was, that the people of Scotia: al did not regard any religious ceremony requisite for mai riage: He also objected to the facility of minors to contract marriage in Scotland, the mere fact of people of t ender years declaring they took each other for man an. i wife being at present sufficient to bind them irrevocably for life. He thought this bill would not have the efl s3t of remedying the evils now complained of, and theref c re he should feel bound to support the amendment. Lord DUNCAN also supported the amendment.. He found that this bill, while intended to legislate chief/7 for the two border oounties of Northumberland and Itini berlatrd, would introduce the greatest possible cony usion uto the whole law of marriage in Scotland. He W. 19 far from saying that some measure was not requia.t.d to amend the existing law of Scotland, but it should be done in a comprehensive manner, and therao..e he trusted the English members would assist him in eject ing the bill now before the house. Mr. DUNLOP supported'the bill, on the ground ,that it would be at least a modification of the existing e Mr. WALPOLE considered the bill would f..il in remedying the evils of the present law. The pt nalty proposed by the bill for contracting an illegal marriage was 101. for the first offence, and 501. for a seccrid of fence ; he was sure that penalty would be willingl7 paid in most cases, and therefore, on the plea of putting down immorality, it would not at all grapple with it. Ife ad mitted that the anomalies of the marriage law in Scotland were very great, and he trusted that the Lord-Advocate and the Government would take upon themselves to in troduce a bill that would assimilate the laws of ma , -riage in Scotland with those of England. For those masons he should be obliged to support the amendment. Mr. HEADLAM replied, contending that no ade quate argument had been brought forward by hon. mem bers who opposed the bill to show that it would not have the effect of at least mitigating the evils of the present system, and he should press the question to a division. Sir G. GREY said that with respect to the appeal made to the Government to bring in a bill to grapple with the whole subject of the marriage law of Scotland, he feared, judging from past experience of similar attempts, it would not be prudent for the Government to make any such pledge. A bill for that purpose had been brought in by a former government ; but it was unanimously opposed by the whole of the Scotch mem bers and it was unsuccessful. But he regarded the present bill would affect merely the humble classes, and would not touch those in a hi; .her position who contracted the same sort of irregular mar nines. (Hear, hear.) He therefore put it to the hon. and learned member (Mr. Headlam) whether it was worth while to press the question to a division ? After a few remarks from Mr. INGRAM and Mr. J. G. PRILLIMOBE, The house divided, when the numbers were— For the second reading 4O For the amendment, 143 Majority —lO3 So the bill was lost. ECCLESIASTICAL PROPERTY (IRELAND) BILL. This bill went through committee, and was ordered to be reported to-morrow. MARRIAGE LAW AMENDMENT BILL. Sir W. HEATHCOTE resumed the acljourarn , nt of the debate on the second reading of this bill. He said that the law at present existing with respect to mar riage might be considerably improved, and that the course that had been pursued in Germany might perhaps be adopted ; but he was afraid that the present bill was, to say the least of it, a short-sighted legislation believed that the verses i n Leviticus might be cons . trued e both for and agai ns t t hi s b ill. If, however, there w any doubt upon th e su bj ect, he thought that d .b as t should be given in favo ur o f t h e law as it at present stood. Mr. PHINN objected to the proposition made by the right hon. baronet. He totally obj ecte d to the argu ment that those who supported the p resent bill were opposed to settled legislation. He believed that the law as it at present existed was totally against the edict, given by Holy Writ. Could it be doubted, looking at that holy work, that kings and princes who were living in polygamy bad been looked upon with spe cial favour. (Hear, bear.) He believed that, loo1;ing at scripture generally, no man could find tiny authority for disputing the provisions of the present bill. He thought the passages in Leviticus and Deuteronomy were rather in favour than against the present hill. Years ago the law upon the subject of marriage was looked to in a very different light to that in which it was viewed at present. Formerly the different pro visions of every church were looked to ; that was not ,The case at pres en t. Marriage was now not tecclesiastical law, but a c ommon question. (Hear.) had to been said that this bill bad been brought forwvrd lowaevrOur the upper classes. His opinion was that the th an tees suffered more by the present marriage law • e ar istocracy, and that the adoption of the rre the house W ould effect the best results. He hoped t:iat the bill by such give its assent to the second readine• of country that they l arge majority as would show to the Mr. R.

Before business was proceeded with, the right hon. gentleman expressed his grateful acknowledgments for the kind indulgence which the house had extended to him on Monday and Tuesday evenings, and expressed a hope that the impossibility of making a house on Tuosday evening, which he believed was entirely attributable to himself, had not been the cause of inconvenience to any hon. members. (Hear, hear.) The following bills were read a third time and passed : — Birmingham Canal Navigations, Glasgow W,lter, Kelso Bridge, Kingston-upon-Thames Improvement, and Plymouth Great Western Docks. The following bills were considered and ordered to be read a third time :—Abingdon Railway ; Banff, Mae dtiff,•and Turriff Railway ; Commercial-road ;- Cork and Youghal RailwxylSenminster and Ledbury-road; Lime rick and Castleconnell Railway ; Manchester Improve ment ; Renfrew Police and Improvement ; Swansea Docks ; Rhymney Railway. PETITIONS. Petitions were presented by Mr. H. Brown from Liverpool, against church rates ; by Mr. Hadfield with the same prayep ; by Mr. H. Berkeley, various petitions froiWßristol against church rates ; also from the com positors of the Morning Post, praying for the rep3al of the Sunday Beer Bill ; by Mr. Horsfall, from Liverpool, against the Marriage Bill now before the house ; by Mr.-G-. Berkeley, 5 petitions from Gloucester, against church rates ; by Sergeant Shee, a number of petitions from various parts of Ireland, praying the house to pass the Tenants Compensation Bill ; by Sir G. Grey, from the Wesleyans of South Shields, against the sale of in toxicating drinks on Sundays ; by Mr. H. W. Wick ham, 2 petitions from Yorkshire to the same offset ; by Mr. Pellatt, a number of petitions from various me tropolitan parishes, in favour of the bill for legalising marriage' with a deceased wife's sister ; by Mr. Bass, from Derby, complaining of the mismanagement of the War. THE SUIT, LONDON,. THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 10 1855 and common sense. (Hear.) This state of the law as it at present stood ought to be altere-1, and that was the object of the present bill. Mr. GLADSTONE opposed the bill, being convinced that the marriages professed to be sanctioned by it wEra totally at variance with the Word of God. Th e l aw a 8 it at present stood, represented the opinion of mankind, and to attempt to alter it would be absurd. They had heard that day that in every State of Europe except in a few cantons in Switzerland they were recognised and tolerated. Now what was the case ? Why, that all such marriages as were contemplated by the bill, if sanctioned, were done so under the most solemn of pro tests. (Hear, hear.) He considered the present bill as a measure which, under the disguise of religious liberty, sought to raise anarchy in the Church of England. This measure had been brought forward not in deference to the scruples of the whole community, but a few of its members. (Hear, hear.) Did hi s h on . f r i en d w h o pro posed the present bill propose to stop with it, or would he bring forward another measure next year. (Hear, hear.) The house ought to know something upon the subject, because the measure proposed sought to alter all the social arrangements of society, and to take away that equality which at present existed with man and woman, and to give to man all the benefits, taking away those which woman at present possessed. (Hear, hear.) To ask which was the object of the present bill. To go back for !Christianity to conscience was, in his opinion, absurd in the extreme. Mr. SPOONER claimed for himself and every Chris- tian freedom of conscience, in deciding this question without being bound by the canons of the church. He had read the 18th chapter of Leviticus, and consulted with men of high authority on the question, and he was of opinion that marriage with a deceased wife's sister was not only not prohibited, lout permitted by the law of God. The law, as it now stood, he considered produc tive of great moral evil, and he therefore felt bound to support the present bill. Mr. COBDEN referred to the manner in which pub lic opinion sanctioned the evasion of the law. Allusion had been made to the number of cases of bigamy I committed in a given district, but it did not follow that the inhabitants of the district generally ap proved of bigamy, and he asked why a bill was not brought in to make it felony in those persons who went to Germany to evade the English law with reference to marriage with a deceased wife's sister. He ridiculed the idea that the bill would produce anarchytin the church, as assumed by the hon. member for oxford, or that the women of England were against the measure. Before they referred to Jewish laws, it would have been better had they inquired what the Jewish practices were in this respect. It had been given in evidence before the committee, that so far from the Jews considering it wrong they considered it meritorious, and where the Jaw of the land did not interfere with the marriage of a de ceased wife's sister, the Jewish laws permitted it to take place at ab earlier period than that with another party. Mr. J. G. PIIILLIMORE addressed the house, and Mr. HEYWOOD replied, amidst cries of "Divide." The house then divided, when there appeared— For the second reading 165 Against it Majority 8 The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to bo committed. The other orders of the; day were then disposed of, and the house adourned at six o'clock. -ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL COll MITTEE. The committee reassembled yesterday morning at the usual hour. Mr. Sidney Herbert was examined by the Chairman. He stated that he the office of Secretary-at-War at the breaking out of the war, and his being a Cabinet Minister in no way interfered with the duties of his situ ation. The duty of the Secretary-at-War was that of a check on expenditure only. He had nothing to do with promotion or discipline otherwise than his consent being required in the event of such promotion involving in creased expense? The expenditure of the army was sr, complicated that it was necessary the office should be kept up. When it was decided on commencing hostili ties instructions were given to Lord Raglan for the de• _ _ _ fence of the Balkan, it being understood that Sebastopol would be attacked, that being the object for which the British army was despatched to the East. The prepa rations made for the army were not with a belief that the army would winter in the Crimea, but the place be taken by a coup de main. Admiral Boxer was sent out to superintend the harbour arrangements, and Dr. A ndrew Smith the medical department. He had no authority over the medical department, other than with reference to finance, and Dr. A. Smith acted direct from the Horse Guards. The first time he interfered with the medical department was in the difference that eiisted between Dr. Smith and Dr. Guthrie, respecting the ap pointment of regimental surgeons instead of staff sur geons. As circumstances turned out it would hav been better to have adopted the latter plan, as suggestitdr by Dr. A. Smith. After the statements which appeared in the public press with respect to the state of the hos pitals at Scutari, and letters sent home, part of which would bear contradiction, but aufficient remained uncon tradicted as would condemn the system, Dr. Hall was sent to inspect them after the battle of Alma, arid he gave the Government a very flourishing account of them. By Mr. Ellice—lnstead of there being one suprame head over the hospitals, and all orders and instructions coming from him, there was a large medical staff giving instructions to diffaent parties. Would it not have been better to have had one person to direct the whole ? —So there was after, and Lord Wm. Paulett was sent out. By Mr. Ellice—lt has been stated by Mr. Stafford, who visited the hospital at Scutari, that when he , saw the lamentable state of things there he spoke to Major Sillery, the commandant, aced his answer to him was that he was an officer without fortune, and having a large ;family he shrunk from a e responsibility of giving any orders that might subject him to pecuniary embar rassment. Was that such a state of things as ought to have existed ?—No, certainly mot. The hon. gentleman then read letters he forwarded to Major Sellery with reference to the state of things exist ing at Scutari, complaining of them, but at the same time making allowance for his being in a strange coun try, and referring him to Lord Stratford de Redcliffia for money and assistance under the circumstances, and he hoped his letters would have had the effect of benefitting the service. It might, he said, have been more correct for the Minister of War to have written to Major Sillery, but then the question of expenditure came under his depart. ment. With reference to the management of the hos pitals in the Peninsula under the late Duke of Wel llington, and that of the hopitals at Scutari, the case was very different. In the former case the hospitals were under the duke's hand, as it were, being iu the same country; le hereas Lord Raglan was in one country, and the hospitals in another, and he could only act in accordance w ith the reports made to him, notwithstanding the perie , d occupied in communi cating with the hospital in is ach instance must have been about the same. It wa s extremely difficult to come to a soundconclusionasto the truth or falsehood of the reports from the Crimea, al id instanced the case of a letter being inserted in the psi pers, purporting to come from Miss Nightingale, complaining of the want of lint at the time she wrote the Government requesting them not to forward more, having too at uch in store. When Lord Raglan was sent to the East, l ie had full powers con ferred on him in controlling tip e army and its depart ments. Immediately on Major :3 illery's inefficiency being discovered, the Government pr, )ceeded to find a sub stitute, and a gentleman was sot out. There was a larger number of medical men s /ith the army than had before been sent with a similar :number of troops. He did not think Lord Raglan ougt it to have been so well acquainted with the state of th a hospital at Scutari as he (Mr. S. Herbert) was, beta a Lse he got information from private as well as official soiurces By Mr. Ellice—Lord Willies a Panlett was sent to Scutari after the mischief had"b(s m done? After it had begun. The army being separats id in the field it was necessary to have many persons: communicating with one another. By Mr. Layard —Was any pe n on recalled or repri manded for anything that occurs red at Scutari ?—Dr. Menzies was withdrawn. That was from ill-health ? Do 3 - ou think it was right when a person was found incompir tent to allow him to be removed on the specious pleas of ill-health ?—That depends on circumstances. Dr. Me nzies is a very clever man in his profession, but he Las not the gift of organisation. Did the Government look out for proper qualified persons ?—Yes. D:d you find any person ?—Y,a 1. But he was not sent out, Lord Raglan having sent .a person there. The state of the hospitals were not r much better. The the consumption and supply of wi , e, &c , for the hos hon. gentleman was then exaniin a d with reference to done possible to insure a suppl_r, , and that the pi',4ll, in the course of which he said everything had been con sumption on one occasion was two , pipes and a half in three days. In selecting Smyrna rfri a place for a tem porary hospital, the Government man 1c inquiries of mer chants in the city, w h ose o pi n ions 1 vere certainly con tradictory. Th e r i g ht h on. gen tl es nan wa s then exa ""ned by variou s mem b ers o f t h e co rnmittee relative to e hospital chased in SWriet at Smyrna, and also with regard to the m clothing furnished to the area y.

By Lord Seymour--H e was any difficulty with regard to the transmission of the stores, but with that the Secretary at War had nothing ! te do. By the Chairman—ln the opinion of witness it would be advisable that the purveyor and medical officer should be made supreme over the whole department. At Scutari there is about an equal proportion of paid nurses and ladies. By the Chairman-e-He found that the purveyor had been making stoppages from the pay of the men mistak ing his instructions, and made those stoppages as if the army were in a state of peace instead of war, and as soon as witness heard of it, and shortly before he left office, he wrote out requesting th e paymaster to return the drawback. By the Chairman—He was in London during the whole of the recess, with the exception of two weeks in September, and sometimes on a Sunday. There was no communication but what was cemmuuicated to his col leaeues who were all within a few hours distance. General Peel—What authority had you over the mili tia ?—I had the same authority over the militia that I had over the army—namely, a financial authority. Had you any power to embody regiments or to select regiments for embodiment !--No ; that was a matter entirely in the hands of the Secretary of State. He merely recommended regiments fur embodiment to Lord Palmerston. Towards the beginning of November he got together a good deal of information as to the best mode of recruiting the army, and he cause to the conclu sion that he should act with greater probability of suc cess through the medium of the militia than by any other means. He circulated a memorandum among the mem bers of the Government more directly interested in the subject, and my views having been adopted by the Go vernment, when Lord Palmerston went to Paris for two days in November, he asked him to authorise the Home office to call out any regiments he might specify. He used that authority by calling nut and embodying certain reeiments. By Mr. Layerd—He had nothing to do with the raising of the foreign legion. He appointed Messrs. Heater and Howell, because they were packers for the colonels. The firm of Hayter and Howell had been army clothiers for nearly one hundred years. This firm transmitted the whole of the free gifts transmitted to the Crimea-809 to Scutari and 403 to the Crimea. By the Chairman—He anpointed these gentlemen on public grounds, and not because one of the gentlemen was brother to the secretary of the Treasury. At the time of the appointment he did not know of the rela tionship. The system in the War-office was extremely efficient and worked well. All promotions were made from merit. Mr. Layard—ln what relation did your department stand with respect to the Horse Guards ?---My depart ment was purely a financial one. Do you know that Lord Hardinge was consulted by the Cabinet as to what took place in the East ?—Cer tainly. Did the Cabinet act upon the report of Lord Har dinge f—Lord Hardinge drew up schemes for the orga nisation of the army, which were acted upon. Not for operations in the field ?—Not in any respect. The state of things with respect to the hospitals at Scutari being such as you have described, did it occur to you to inform Lord Hardinge that somebody had not done his duty ?—I think Lord Hardinge perfectly agreed with me that somebody was to blame, but the difficulty was to lay our hands on the right man. Did you ascertain, in communication with Lord Har dinge, who that somebody was ?—Even to this moment I hesitate to fix the blame upon any one individual. The Chairman--Do you think there are more than one f—The public have the impression that the system was very much to blame, and that the alteration of the system would remove the evil. Ido not believe, how ever, that the difference between one system and another is nearly so great as between one man and another. A bad system will work well with a good man, but a good system will not work well with an inferior man. In consequence of the long peace no one has seen any mili tary operations on a large scale, and the various officials were frightened at the responsibility and expense they might incur. It has been said by Dr. A. Smith, and the remark will apply to other persons, that he was months before he could bring himself to believe that he could spend as much money as lie pleased. During 40 years' peace has the system improved cr gone down ?—lt is better for some purposes and worse for others. Where did the Duke of Wellington acquire his expe rience ? Had he not many difficulties to contend with ? —Originally, I should think he bad. His experience was gained in India ?—Yes. Do you think that the battles in which he was engaged in India were greater than the battles that have taken place during the last 20 years ?—That is a matter of opinion. I should like to have your opinion. The object iof the committee is, if possible, to lay the blame upon one man or men.—l think a few months' experience would do more good than any mere change in the form of crepe meats. The Chairman—You say it is better to have ia bas system with a good man than to have a good system with a bad man. But what would you do supposing you had a beet syStem and bad men too ?—ln that cae y must try and reform your system, and experienel soon show you who are the good men. Lord Seymour—The Duke of Newcastle expres4e approval of the manner in which his subordinat s discharged their d u ti es . W ere you satisfied wish manner in which th e var i ous d u ti es connecte d wit y,.fle department were dis c h arge d l—l am b ound, in gra tude to the gentlem en e np l oye d i n t h e W ar-o e say that I beli e v e i t i s th e b est const i tuted office Under the Crown. My subordinates worked with great zeal. I made great demands upon their time ; their , office hours were lengthened, but I never heard a murmur. Never was a man better served by his subordinates than I was. The promotions in that office go by merit, and not by seniority, though occasionally that rule has been departed from. But the result of the system was not good. There was a constant strain upon every person employed, and whenever promotions were made I was met by reproaches and remonstrances from persona who considered themselves to have been passed over. . Lat terly clerks have been introduced at the bottom of the list by means of examination. Did you find, practically, that the separation cif the Secretaryship of the Colonies from the office of Secre tary for War was a great advantage ?—Very great, indeed. In fact, it would have been impossible to Carry on the war without separating the two offices. Did you make any proposal to Government fol. any further change F—ln the first place, I proposed to the Duke of Newcastle, with a view to correct certain evils, that there should be periodical meetings of the War De partment, the head of the military departments and my self, so that whatever orders were given should be given to each in the presence of all. The Chairman—Was that proposal adopted f—lt was ; but, subsequently, the Government came to the conclusion that it would be well to give these meetings a more formal character. An order in Council! was therefore obtained fixing the meetings, and putting cer tain necessary limitations upon the powers of a military board. Lord Seymour—Are the committee to understand that, in consequence of the organisation of the various departments not being satisfactory, you recommended these periodical meetings ?—I was desirous that the whole financial business of the Ordnance should be con sidered at a board such as I proposed, and that the powers of the Board of Ordnance should be confined td the materiel of the army. The plan was agreed to. I drew up a letter fir the Duke of Newcastle to the Pre sident of the Council, applying for an order in council, but in the meantime a motion was made in the Hence of Commons, which terminated in the disruption of the Government. It was not intended that the board should have any executive functions as a board, but the whole power and authority were to remain in the hands of the Secretary of State. The members of the board were to advise with him, and to receive his orders in his presence. Such a system as that might have been adopted in August or September last ?—No, I think not ; because it is very important in matters of this kind not to make too sudden a disturbance of the existing state of things. A very small disturbance deranges the method of de partments, and it would not have been prudent to re model the whole without some experience as to what ought to be done. The change I proposed was this : That the Board should con-ist of the Secretary of State, who should be assisted and advieed by the Commander iii-Ctuf, the "Master-General of the Ordnance, if there was one, a Commissary-General, and the Secretary at War. The Sem( tary at War would have exercised a wholesome check over the expenditure of the army, and would have moved the estimates, not only for the army, but fir the Ordnance and Commissariat, and the House of Commons would have been enabled to obtain at one view the gross expenses of the army, with the exception of the materiel, the Ordnance remaining purely a manu facturing establishment. Would that have brought the War Department into something resembling the organisation of the Ad m i ra lt y ? —Yes ; on l y I think the authority of the Secretary of State would h ave b een more defined than in the Admiralty. stt hi that oae l‘ ut l sl r wde . ch E arele l r: l ve i aa c rty e yh — seorb ß feesi t i ' tst: youaeter Board a . o would not n ecessar ily h ave ma d e memberarld wtho eu of l dn Presidenttol i t e Bhavoea of f l a ? dt — htel l l think eßb l 3 ua sr id. nese of the War Department conducted by a Board, but all I proposed was, that the Secretary of State should summon the heads of various departments to give him their advice and receive his orders. The board would have consisted of the Commander-in -Chi e f to govern the army, the Master-General of the Ordnance to arm and equip the army, the Secretary -at-W ar to control the finance of the army, and a C ommissary -General to feed the army. Mr. Ellice—Entertaining these opinions, do you think it was prudent just at the time the war broke out to render the machinery of the different departments less efficient than it had been during a time of peace—in point of fact, to attempt to carry on the administration of the army without the Master-General of the Ordnance er a Surveyor of the Board of Ordnance ?—The case of the Master-General was a peculiar one. It was thought that Lord Raglan was peculiarly qualified for the ser vice he had in hand, bug, if he had been retained here as Master-General the country would have been deprived of his services; and, on the other band, there was an officer of great experience who could be p'aced at the Ross. head of the personnel of the Ordnance — namely, Sir Hew Sir Hew Ross has stated that the authority of the Master-General is paramount, but that he (Sir H. Ross) could not supersede the authority of the Board ?—Sir Thomas Hastings states that according to his patent the Lieutenant-General of the Ordnance had all the autho rity of the Master-General. But Sir Hew Ross has stated grit he had not that authority ?—I should imagine that the Lieutenant-Ge neral, in the absence of the Master• General Lau supreme authority.

LATE FIRE AT MR. SCOTT _RUSSELL'S. -SERIOUS CIIARGE OF ARSON. Layton Edgard Hooper, 26, a respectable-looking young man, lately employed as a shipwright in the ser vice Of Mr. John Scott Russell, and residing at No. 1, George-street, Limehouse-fields, was brought to the Thames Police, court 'yesterday by Mr. Superintend e nt Howie, of the IC division, charged on suspicion of hav ing set fire to certain pieces of timber, with intent to destroy a floating battery on the premises of his late em ployer. The disastrous results of the fire and the amount of property lost having been previously made public, in tense interest was excited, and the court was densely crowded. Mr. Hobler appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantine, instructed by Mr. Pelham, for the defence. Mr. Thomas Frazer Campbell, storekeeper at Mr. Russell's works in the Isle of Dogs, stated that at nine o'clock on Thursday night last the timekeeper called his attention to a fire at the floating • battery, a vessel 'which had just been completed, and was about to have been launched on the ensuing Saturday. Witness gave the alarm to Mr. Dixon, the superintending engineer, and then rushing into the yard perceived a.stroegillumination. As he approached the battery, the fire, which seemed to come from each side of it, met him with a strong rushing glow, as if running over some rapidly ignitable substanc , z. The battery was 180 feet long, - and there at first ap peared about 10 feet of fire under the bow. The vessel was plated with iron, and it would be difficult to .set it on fire from the outside. The wood used in the prepara tion for the launch appeared to have been the first to take fire. Witness ran to see if their was any fire astern, and the flames pursued him rapidly, as if running along some bituminous and easily ignitable pathway. The prisoner had been in the employment of Mr. Russell, and left about three weeks since, in consequence of a strike. He was highly esteemed as a mechanic, and di.s charged himself, owing to the stoppage of some wages. He had worked about fourteen months ago at the Esk, a vessel built by Mr. Russell. No part of the arma meet was nn board the battery when it was destroyed. Mr. J. Dixon, superintending engineer, went through every corner of the floating battery at 8 o clock on the Thursday night, to see if any trifling jobs remained to be done previous to the launching. He left in 25 minutes, and there was then not the slightest appearance of fire. The men knocked off at a quarter to 8 o'clock. There were men employed to remove the chips and shavings every night, but some must necessarily remain, not, however, such a quantity as could cause the fire that had taken place. There was a solid mass of wood under the battery, which, though mingled with some damp wood, could easily be ignited. The fire was obviously from the outside. The launch-way was greased, but the fire did not appear to have commenced there. When witness came up there were about 50 square feet of flame, and it seemed to run up and down the battery, on the outside, as if it were making immense hops in intermediate suc cession. DREADFUL SHIPWRECK OF THE JOHN -FRIGHTFUL LOSS OF LIFE. The following is a more detailed account of this dread ful awl iatal wreck than Lae yet been published : One of the most distressing and melancholy cases of shipwreck ever remembered on the western shores took place on Thursday night last, on the Manacles Rock, off tit. Keverne, en the coast of Cornwall. The unfortunate barque, the John, of Piyieouth, Captain Rewle, left Plymouth Sound on the attern , on of Thursday, bound for Quebec, having on board 149 adult passengers. 98 children, and 16 infants, together with a crew, in ail, of 19 ; m +king the total number of souls on board 282. The paeseneere were principally from the north of Devon, the great source of American emigration in the west of England ; numbers from other parts of that county ; and the remainder from the counties of Cornwall, Dorset, and Somerset--in fact, she was considered what is termed a west-country ship, Numbers of the friends of the unfortueate passengers accompanied them to Plymouth to bid a farewell, and, as t h e melancholy sequel proved, a is t adieu to many of those whom they loved and respected. The departure of the ship was witnessed and cheered by numerous persons assembled on the line. She left the Sound at four p.m., on the top of ebb tide, with a favourable wind off the land ; and all bid fair for a rapid awl prosperous voyage down Channel. How these hopes were blighted it appears impossible to say, so varied are the accounts furnished by those who have been spared to tell of the catastrophe ; all seem, however, to unite in a complaint of mismanagement against the captain, and so embittered were the survivors towards him that it is stated the coastguard were obliged to afford him protection from their fury. But whether this anger arose from a belief that the accident was the result of inattention on his part —or that the captain and crew saved themselves, as stated, to the sacrifice of the pas sengers—or, in fact, what gave rise to this angry feeling in all, it would be wrong to say until evidence shall be taken, as it may be easily imagined that parents made childless, husbands widowers, and children parentless— men who had left home full of hopes for the future, and most of whom, even if free from the sad embitterment of loss of wife, husband, or child, had lost all the wealth probably they were possessed of in the world, would give vent to complainiegs against one to whose charge they had entrusted both life and property. The scene when the vessel struck, as may be antici pated, was most distressing ; the utmost confusion pre vailed, and most of those on board gave themselves up in despair. The account rendered by one of the pas sengers is most heart-rending, though of the chaiac ter of all similar disasters, except that human sympathy was in this case the more excited from the number of children on board, and from the extraor dinary efforts cf their parents to save them from the death impending. One of the passengers, William Walton, a man of apparently sickly and delicate con stitution, succeeded, as the vessel settled in the water, in taking his wife and six children into the rigging one by one—the youngest unfortunately fell from the mother's arms into the sea ; the father, though unable to swim, plunged after it, but failed in his noble effort to save his child, and with difficulty regained the ship. Another, William Clemence, who had a wife and ten children on board, attempted to raise the 6 youngest of them into the rigging by the aid of a "sheet," with which he had tied them together. Unfortunately he failed in his efforts, and the whole six were drowned. Samuel Rogers, a boy, aged 15, one of the other passengers saved, has lost his father, mother, two brothers, a sister, and a cousin. Henry North, saved, lost his wife and three children. As far as we can glean facts from parties on board, it appears that all went prosperously till about half-past nine, when they made the Falmouth light, the captain himself pointing it out to one of the passengers on deck. Just at this time the second mate was trying to sight the Lizard light, and ho asked seine of the passengers if they could not see the reflection of the light in the sky ; they replied they could not, when the captain said he could not either, but they would see it fast enough when they got there. It was the second mate's watch, and the captain shortly after went below. About ten o'clock the mate came on the poop and asked the passengers if they had seen the captain, and on being aseed what he wanted the captain for, he said lie (the mate) thoueht they were a deal too nigh land. Sh atly after ibis the captain came on deck, and what the mate had state I, "that they were getting too close on land," was re ported to him ; the captain pooh-poohed the report. Soon afterwards some one forward sung out "rocks," and almost immediately the vessel struck with vio lence, so much so that she humped over the rock, and then struck with still greater force upon rocks further in ,• the captain was then distirctly heard to call out "run her aground." The vessel then had all sail on her with great way, as she was when the accident happened going eight or nine knots, and though ran aground the sea washed her off again, and she ran down the coast for sonic distance. An attempt was ,rt- then made to bring her up by letting go her anchor, when she grounded heavily broadside on. Attention was then I directed to the boats—of which bad she four on board, three on deck, and one over the side—the captain, four seamen, a boy, and one passenger j um p e d i nto th e latter 'ou boat and called out to lower, but finding no one answered rill the call, the captain returned to the deck of the vessel, when the boat was lowered. On her touching the water his it was found there was no plug in her, and she was with tad out thowle pins. While they were waiting to supply the these deficiences her tackle became unhooked, and the mr boat drifted off from the vessel without the captain. The men put their knives in for thowle pins, and the passenger to his German pipe for a like purpose, and they pulled out ' to sea to get round a point of rocks over which the breakers - were rolling heavily. When they had wea thered this point they pulled for the land, on nearing which they saw a light. Not being able to find a landing place they called aloud for help, when they were heard by the son of Lieut. M'Leau, of the coast-guard, who pointed out a place of landing. Immediately the alarm was spread that a vessel had struck on the Manacles. An attempt was then made to pull out some of the coast guard boats without success, from the dangerous cha racter of the coast. The passenger who had got on shore was taken by the coast-guard people in their attempt to put out to assist the vessel, in order to direct them where she lay, those of the ship's crew who got ashore posi tively refusing to lend even this assistance. Unfortu nately the boats could not reach the vessel, and were compelled to return to the shore. They postponed all further efforts till the following morning, when, going further up the coast to a more favourable place of embarkation, they reached the vessel, which was then not above 200 yards from the shore. During the whole of this time, the crew being for the most part intoxicated, nut a single effort was made to save the passengers by either captain or crew. Some of the passengers attempted of themselves to get the cutter out ; in so doing they stove her bottom and lost the boat. The tide at the time the vessel struck was about two-thirds ebb, and when she sunk she filled with water, but the decks were dry, and if assistance had been rendered at this time all might have been safely landed. Unfortunately, for the want of some directing mind, this opportunity was lost, and on the returning tide some portion of those on board got into the rigging, the crew getting in the tops, while a large number of the passengers took shelter iu the long boat—the boat was floated out of the chocks and beaten across the deck against the bulwarks until she was knocked to pieces, and the whole of her living freight either crushed er drowned. The rising tide soon did its Kirk, %%ash ing the unfortunate people off the decks and out of the lower riggin g, roost of them having from cold and suffer ing lost even the little energy necessary to make a fur ther ascent up the rigging. In the morning the sur vivors were taken off the wreck by the coast guard and landed at Coverack, St. Keverne, when they met the most hospitable reception from the inhabitants. . One of the passengers, Mr. E. C. Ilele, of Dawlish, being provided vvL.h a swain ashore in the night, and lie declares, that had the boats been lowered when she struck all might have been saved. Another of the passenger, Mr. Knuckey, lately returned from Australia, lost 5001. of his earnings, but succeeded in taking ashore 700 soveieigns in a belt. Elizabeth Pearce and Mary Ann Penman, two of the parties saved, left the service of Mrs. Hector, 2, Albany-place. Another passenger among the fortunate survivors, who lett the doccyard to emigrate, as if foreseeing the chance of calamity, asked for a week's have only, instead of'his charge from the service. This would have expired to morrow ; hs now returns in time to retake his employ ment. Seventy-six of the bodies of the unfortunate people were buried in 36 coffins on Sunday, in St. Ile- Verne churchyard, relations being buried together. Immediately the melancholy intelligence reached this place it wan telegiapbed to the Adnsiralty and to the emigration commissioners, upon which the firmer di rected Sir William Parker, the commander-in-chief, to despatch the Avon, Second Master Veitch in commend, to the seen) of the disaster, and which returned to Fin mouth last evening, bringing a number of the passengers saved. Tie emigration commissioners also directed Lieutenant Carew, RN., agent at Falmouth, to proceed at once to the wreck, and that gentleman lett on Satur day evening. The Board of Trade also despatched an officer to institute an inquiry into the circumstances of the wreck, under the provisions of the new act, which carne into operation on the Ist instant, Commander Bald win Walter, of the Coast Guard, having made the pre liminary inquiry as the act directs. In the interim the coroner of the district has been per forming the melancholy duty of holding inquisitions on the bodies thrown up by the sea. The evidence at the inquest sowed that there was not a single palliating cir cumstance in favour of the captain. The vessel struck at ten p.m., and all were safe until daylight the next morning; the captain forbade the passengers from moving, and in the case of a poor old man who fell over board from the rigging he refused to allow a party who volunteered to go to his assistance. The great loss of Ho was occa3ioned by so many of the passengers getting into the rigging that it broke away, the parties falling into the sea, those not able to swim, or not strong enough es regain the vessel, perishing. The Jury having heard all the evidence, in recording their verdict, observed that they considered the conduct of the, whole of the crew, with the exception of a sea man named Elder, most blameable, and expressed their surprise that the ship was not supplied with a signal gun nor blue lights, and recommended that a light should be placed on the Manacles. Against the captain (Itawle) they returned a verdic:. of manslaughter, and the coro ner's warrant was at once issued for his apprehension, and en which he Las been lodged ;n the Cornwall county gaol at Bodinin. The passengers who have survived have received their passages back agc.in, but instances where survivors havo lost relatives, the passagemoney of the deceased has not been repaid. The following is the list of passengers deposited at the Custom-how , e prior to the sailing of the ship : Cabin Passengers.—Mr. C. Hole, 20; Mr. Hornbrook, 45; Mr. linuckey, 35; W. Morey, 3.3; Mrs. Morey, 35. Steerage Passengers.—Chart,tte Ash, 22; W.11..,itt0, 1; Henry Autridge, 51, labourer; Honor, ditto, wife, John Coullie, a shipwright in Mr. Russell's employ, who was working at the launches, left at a quarter to eight on Thursday evening. On going to his bed-room at nine he saw from the window sparks from the bow of the battery, such as might come from a blacksmith's forge when worked by the bellows. He then thought one of the moveable forges was at work and turned towards his bed, but on looking round the instant after he saw a blaze start up as from a powder magazine or some combustible substance easily ignited and then sub side again. He ran round to the yard to save his tools, an i in his hurry getting under the bow of the battery struck his head against an iron cramp winch, which checked his course. As soon as he recovered, he saw a man coming from the bow of the battery, about 10 yards from him. The man, on perceiving witness, ran to a kiln where planks are steamed, and mounted it by some iron bolts shaped like a ladder. When he got to the top he looked towards witness, who, having re covered from the shock, immediately recognised his face. The man then, who was , about 20 or 25 yards dis tant when witness raw him turn at the kiln, made over a slanting shed, and in turning to descend from it again exhibited his face t > witless. The light was so strong . that witness could not be mistaken in the features, which he recognised as those of a mar. who had worked with him when the Esk was being built. Mr. Ingham.—Do-you see that man in Vie court ? Witness (pointing to the dock).—Yts, air. There he is (sensation). Mr. cognise his featur es ? Ballatitine.—lt Was ni g h t. How could you re- Witness.—The light was so strong that any one could recognisuthem at a distance of from 30 to 40 yards. Mr. Ballantine (solernnly).—Remember, you are on your oath. Is that the man After a long pause, the witness, in a low tone, said, "Yes, I can swear it between God and man." As Mr. Bailantine continued to press his question to a more definitive answer the witness seemed to waver and hesitate more. First he said he would pledge- his oath, faith, and honour, and then his firm belief, that' the prisoner was the man. Next he said he would not prejudice his own soul in swearing to what was not the fact. In further cross-examination, and as Mr. Ballantine's questions assumed a tone of deeper solemnity, the wit ness became more and more confused, and slow in his answers. He said he first mentioned the fact of seeing the prisoner going from the battery to Mr. Hepworth, the iron ship-builder at Mr. Russell's, and described him as clad in a fustian or light-coloured dress. When asked if he should know him again he replied in the affirmative. It was on Saturd a y l as t he told a constable of his hav ing worked with the prisoner at the building of the Esk. He never had applied to the prisoner since his re turn in March last from Sydney and Callao to get him into a trades' union, nor had be quarrelled with him for refusing to do so. He could not have had any con versation with the prisoner on the subject three or four months ago, for it was only on the 23d of March last that be was discharged from his vessel. The witness here put in his discharge, which bore that date. In answer to Mr. Hobler witness said he saw the prisoner most distinctly, and had no doubt in his mind that he was the man who got away over the lime-kiln and across the shed. He did not follow him, as he knew there was no mode of egress but by dropping into an adjoining garden, which abutted on the Ferry-road. At this stage of the proceedings Mr. Hobler said that he trusted he had shown, on the part of the prosecution, that there were sufficient grounds for a remand. Mr. Ballantine would not deny that ; but the ques tion was one of vast unportlnce, for it could scarcely be supposed than at the present juncture any Englishman could be found who, fora trifling difference about wages, could do his country so serious a mischief: It was not for him (Mr. Ballantine) to say that the last witness was entirely mistaken as to the identity of the prisoner, or urged to accuse him from improper motives. He could not, as the evidence stood, aik his worship to discharge the prisoner, but he was prepared to produce evi eence, if its production would induce his worship to accept bail, which would clearly show that it was physically impossible his client could have committed the incendiary act attributed to him, inasmuch as his whereabouts on the Thursday night could be ac counted for, with the exception of brief lapses of from half an hour to 20 minutes. Mr. Ingham said that when reasonable cases of this nature were made out, though they were not exactly such as ought to besent to a jury, he did not think them susceptible of bail, and there would be, therefore, very little use in calling thb evidence which the learned gen tleman said he could adduce. _ _ Mr. Baliantine—l merely , throw out the suggestion, thinking it my duty to see that ray client was not borne down by the weight of public opinion, which must press upon him whilst he labours under this serious charge, and to show that he is capable and ready to answer it. At the instance of Mr. nobler, Mr. Ingham remanded the case for a week, at which time Mr. Superintendent Howie said he should most probably be prepared with further evidence. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.'

Solo mons, opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. 'Thserie opposite the York Hotel. By her Majesty's Hoyt 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 32 inches, with an extra eye piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the double stars ; with the same telescope can be seen a person's countenance three miles and a half distant, and an object from 16 to 20 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 as£ transparent power. The valuable advaptage 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 inc.. power—and they do no t requ i re the frequent changes te e 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 over can be, produCed. Being of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible ; it enables deaf persons to hear di s ti nctly at church and at public assemblies ; the unpleasant Sensation of singing noises in the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist. ance that possibly could he desired.
