This day, at half-past one o'clock, the Emperor and Empress of the French, accompanied by a numerotis retinue, arrived at Dover, and were re ceived by H.R.H. Prince Albert. They then proceeded to the Lord Warden Hotel, a midst great enthusiasm from the assemblage, where every attention was paid to the distinguished visitors by Mr. Hakes, the proprietor. An address from the corporation was presented by Mr. Bodkin, the recorder, to which the Em peror replied in suitable terms. After the Imperial party partook of luncheon they proceeded to the railway station, and arrived at the Bricklayers Arms in London at a quarter past five. A number of her Majesty's carriages having been in waiting the Royal patty immediately set off for Paddington, escorted by a guard of honour of the Ist Life Guards, where they arrived at six o'clock. They then proceeded by the Great Western Railway to Windsor Castle, where they arrited at a quarter to seven. They will dine with her Majesty this evening. The Royal party were loudly cheered darint , the whole route from the Bricklayers' Arms to Paddington. The day being fine, there was an immense concourse of people. TATTERSALL'S. (THIS E VENING.)

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—(THIS EVENING.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack M five o'clock. NEW PEER. Lord RAVENSWORTIL took the oaths and his seat. DEAN FORESTS, &c., BILL. Oa the motion of Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY, this bill passed through committee. CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL. On the motion that this bill be read a second time, The LORD CHANCELLOR said the first object of the . present bill would be to increase the powers of the Charitable Commissioners, so as to enable them to do more good than they have hitherto been able to do. It had been charged against the board that they bad done very little. The fact was that they had done a great deal, but they required further powers, which the present bill would confer. Within the last year about 1,100 applications bad been made to the board by parties connected with charities, and the im portant functions of the board were to advise the trus tees and others connected with charities ; and if such parties acted upon the advice given them they would be indemnified. The bill was also to authorise the commissioners to give powers to the trustees of charities to lease lands for building purposes. The measure further proposed that the appointment of the commissioners should be permanent instead of being temporary, as they had hitherto been. The Commissioners were also to have the. power of apportioning local charities, when such charities were to be divided, subject to the approval of the Court of Chancery Provision was further made for the appointment of an official assignee, who would be bound to see that the property in question was properly treated and not mismanaged. In respect to the.Romau Catholic charities, he (the Lord Chancellor) felt that it was necessary now to deal with that subject. There was a great deal of difficulty attending this part of the subject. He had, however, endeavoured to meet those difficulties, and he intended to have the bill printed, and. to allow time for its consideration before proceeding with the other stages. Lord ST. LEON&RDS said he did not object to the second reading of the bill, but he thought as it contained solmany important clauses, he thought it would be best to refer it to a select committee. Earl GRANVILLE said he had no objection to the course suggested by the noble and learned lord. The bill was then read a second time. Their lordships then adjourned. NEW MEMBERS. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS EVENING.) The house re-assembled to-day at 4 o'clock after the Easter recess. Mr. BOUVERIE was sworn, and took his seat for the Kihnarnock Burghs. Mr. PRIcF. was sworn, and took his seat for Glou cestershire. Mr. BRAND sworn, and took his seat for Lewes.

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE wished this house in its paint ing and the decorations were in a fit state to do honour to the visit of the illustrious personages whose visit was welcomed this day by the nation—(hear, *hear) — and that was an object which he believed such bills a. this was calculated to effect. (flew.) A you deal had been said in the discussion on the first read ing of this bill about reform ; belt he wished to know when they were to ha ve a re form in the city of London, or- whether thershould get through Tetople , ThE NEFF GOVERNMENT LOAN. (From the Times' City Article of this day.) The influence of the new loan on the prices of the funds, even after its conditiocs shall have been arranged at the Treasury with the Governors of the Bank and the London capitalists, will continue to be in some degree indefinite until the Chancellor of the Exchequer shall have stated on Friday next his general financial scheme for the current year. Its most important bearings, how ever, can readily be weighed. On the expediency of the loan itself there is nothing to be added to what has al- ready been urged. Most persons can see that if it would be madness for a farmer to depend on no pecuniary re- sources beyond those cf his daily incomings to meet a year of blight, or for a steam company to throw upon the six months in which it occurred the entire loss from a wreck of sonte of its principal vessels, there can be nothing to justify a Government in pursuing such a course on the occurrence of a war, when the great effort should be to limit the disturbance that must follow, and to avert for the time all sacri fices beyond the dreadful ones that are inevitable. It is true the allegation has been made, that the ex penses of hostilities cannot be compared to the useful outlay which a farmer is entitled to spread over a num ber of years by borrowing ; but as the difference between a man who cuts trenches and puts up fences to avert disastrous floods or the visits of wild beasts, or who has to meet the exceptional ravages of storms of murrain, and the nation that fur its permanent security feels called upon to resist analogous evils, was not shown, the objec tion may be dismissed. Assuming, therefore, that the policy of the measure is unquestionable, the only point for inquiry is what will be its immediate results on the general relations of business ? The loan may be considered already to have affected Consols to the extent of 4 or 5 per cent., and there has been an actual fall of nearly 3 per cent., when, instaZ i of a fall, a rise of 1 or 2 per cent. from the recent i-,a ux of money might otherwise have been expected. looki ng at the magnitude of this movement, the pul:; t i a may b e likely to assume it as a consequence 01 i.`„ B being the na• ture of a lean under all circumsta,n`:Jes to operate as a drain upoU the capital and resn'arces of the country, which must diminish the amo':ilit available for future in vestment. But this would be an error. The loan in the present case will not draw from the public a single far thing of capital, and is, in fact, to be regarded as nothing else than an immediate addition of 15,000,0001., or what ever may be its amount, to the property of the country. A. certain expenditure was to be met ; there was no question as to the pos,ibility of escaping it, and the only thing to be settled was, whether it should be drawn from the people by direct taxation, in which case their me ans wo , ild be instantly dimi n i s h e d to that extent, or whether in return for it an annuity charge should be given them on future generations, sal( able at all times in the public markets, equal in value to 1001. for every 1001. they have advanced, and, consequently, tantamountto an increase 9f wealth sufficient to compensate for that which is with drawn. This increase of available wealth is obtained only by undertaking new liabilities for the future, but that part of the subject is not now under consideration. It will be said, however, that the incre ase o f secu . rities is counterbalanced by the depreciqtion in price of the large amount of similar securities pre viously existing, and that therefore the apparent benefit is a delusion. Such is not the case. Un questionably an immense depreciation has already been witnessed, but it is merely temporary ; and, when the real causes of it have passed away, the effect of the new creation of stock now about to be proposed on the price of Consols and other securities will be scarcely appreciable. Indeed, if the fall which has just occurred were to be regarded as anything more than a momentary depreciation, the conclusion would be that the introduction of 15,000,0001. of new stock causes a diminution of 40,000,0001. in the value of the stock pre viously in existence, since a reduction of 5 per cent. in the market price of the entire national debt would be e9ual to that sum, to say nothing of the still larger mass of other securities that have been influenced in a greater degree. The fact is, that the depreciation is only mo mentary, and such as is always observable when any market receives a sudden additional supply requiring time for distribution. If on Monday next the quantity oi wheat usually brought to Mark-lane were increased threefold by an isolated arrival from a fresh field, a heavy drop would be witnessed, bat the price thus reached would not be the true one at which to estimate the value of all the wheat remaining in the country, which, as soon as the new quantity had been cleared off, would be nearly the same as before. It must also be remembered that an increase in the supply of Consols or other British stock is not like an increase of any article subject to a limited demand. The promise of an annuity of 31. per annum is a promise of gold, which commands all articles, and its value can be damaged only when ever doubts are raised as to the ability or intention of the nation to fulfil it. If an individual holding an an nuity from Rothschild's or Baring's for 5001. were to hear that they had subsequently granted an annuity to his neighbour for 1001., he would not consider his property depreciated, although, if he found . them_ reck lessly granting annuities for as many millions, he would , of course, consider it to . have . becom h e worthless. The The facts to be as b r o eg rn a e rd i s n t m be ind c , on t di e t Le n o of , e t a h t . the pre sent moment, will 2 disturbance t uli fa w v i o ll u b ra e b ( l t y f a s hortffee t d dura tion, beyond sincei money market,ion, t a t r e the h that loan h e dn it n d u ja w t il m l u i s io t t ha ca ve us b e ee a n s s h e il n li t n e g ve t t o i on and finally, that cora lfeoarve l e gn th e e x e c o h u a i n it g r e y s if it had not been . re.cve up prOperty distributed among the people p wa in which this mercial credit will be uphell to , e th o e leexitnenptlaocfethoef thatnew which is drawn from them.

(Laughter.) He gave this bill his hearty -uppert. Mr. BUTLER saidhe had received deputations from 21 parishes on this bill ; he agreed with the main provisions of the bill, but he thought some of the details were ob jectionable. Mr. BRADY expressed his approval of the general principles of the hill, as did also Sir DE LACY EVANS and Mr. LABOTICIIERE, the latter expressidg a hope that they should soon see the introduction of a bill for the reform of the London corporation. Sir G. GREY said it was the intention of her Ma jesty's Government to introduce, during the course of the present session, a hill for a reform of the Corporation of the City of London. (Hear, hear.) Sir B. HALL said some gentlemen had a horror of the word " vestries," and therefore he should call them local boards, and they would be elected in small parishes as a distinct board, which board would have the ma nagement of the paving, lighting, and cleansing of their particular districts. He believed it was impossible for a central board to manage the arterial diainage, and he thought it would be much better to have local and dis trict boards for that purpose, as was the case in all the large provincial towns of the kingdom. If this bill passed it was his intention to bring in a bill to amend Hobhouse's Act, especially that part of it which referred to polling places in the metropolitan districts. (Hear.) As to referring the bill to a select committee, he did not think it at all desirable to do so ; the principle of the bill was fully acknowledged by the house, and in the house its details could be much better discussed than in a select committee ; and it would be his duty, therefore, to resist any motion for sending the bill to a select committee. The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed. SUPPLY. The hluse then went into Committee of Supply, when Mr. FITZROY took the chair as chairman of ways and means amidst cheers. On the vote of 154,0001. for the Royal palaces and gardens. Mr, WILLIAMS objected to the Vote on the ground that there was not sufficient reason shown for voting so large a sum, particularly in so thin a house. He ob jected to the house voting nearly 12,000/. for maintain ing Hampton Court Palace solely for the accommodation of the paupers of the aristocracy. Since the accession of her present Majesty no less than 155,0001. had been voted to keep up Hampton Court Palace, one of the royal palaces which he believed her Majesty had never even seen. In addition to that, 45,0001. had been voted to keep in order Hampton Court Park and Bushy Park. He ob jected also to the large sum of 1,6651. being voted for keeping in repair the apartments of the Duke of Cambridge in St. James's Palace, his Royal Highness being already handsomely provided for. He st-lould like to see those estimate: referred to a committee, and he should move that at a future time. He moved that the Chairman report progress, and ask leave to sit Mr. WJLSON opposed the motion, as full i and due notice of those estimates had been given More the c and they had been printed and placed.in the haruls of members. With regard t 3 referring those esti mates to a select committee, that course had bf:eo taken so lately as 1345, and that committee ha,l made a very elaborate report thereon. Besides, if any such committee were nominated, it should be done at the commencement of the session; for if that was dome now, it must he the end of the session before the com mittee could report. Mr. SPOOSER concurred with the hon. member (Hr. WVillia►ns) that some further information ought to to given to the house on many of the details of those estimates. Mr. MACAIITNEY believed a standing committee for the estimates at the commencement of a session would be of great utility, and he should be prepared to support the motion of the hon. member (Mr. Williams), that the chairman should report progress. Sir W. MOLESWORrIi opposed the motion, and explained the necessity for the votes fur keeping the Royal Palaces and Parks in perfect repair. After a few remarks from Mr. WYSE, Sir F. BARING, and one or two other hon. members, the vut..3 was agreed to. (LEFT SITTING.) THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EV_ENI L 4 PAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

According to the latest accounts the following was the position of the detached fleet :—The Royal Albert, Hannibal, Rodney, St. Jean d'Acre, Princess Royal, Agamemnon, Algiers, Sidon, Leopard, Inflexible, Swal low, and Beagle, at Kandesh. The Tribm..e mid Spite ful, off Sebastopol. The Highflyer, off Kertsch. The Leander, Diamond, Wasp, and Vesuvius, at Balaklava. The Vulcan, Megnra, and Simoom are gone to Genoa for Sardinian troops. The hired screw-steam transport Victory, Capt. Vere Rnse, having been surveyed by Messrs. Coming and Mare for the Board of Trade, and inspected by Mr. Brown, Master Attendant, left Plymouth Sound yes terday morning for the Crimea with the staff of General Vivian. A detachment of the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards consisting of 1 cacer, 1 sergeant, 30 men, and 60 horses, marched from Dundalk on Thursday, and arrived in Dublin on Saturday, to await embarkation to join the regiment in the Crimea. A detachment of the 14th Regiment, consisting of 1 field-officer, 2 captains, 3 subalterns, 6 serjeants, 2 drum mers, and 154 men, arrived in Dublin on Friday from Mullingar, and proceeded by railway to Cork on Satur day to await embarkation, to form a portion of the depot battalion at Malta. Large draughts from the depots in Limerick garrison proceeded on Friday to the seat of war. A. large con course of persons witnessed their departure. The steam-transport Indiana, which arrived at Spithead at 6 o'clock on Friday morning with 263 military invalids from Scutari went into Portsmouth harbour about 12 o'clock on Saturday. The Acting-Assisting Quarter master-General Dalgetty then went on board, and arranged for the cases that required stretchers, to be removed at once into sick quarters at Portsmouth ; these were only 17 in number ; those :.no go to the Invalid Depot at Chatham remain on l ooard ship until this morning, when they will tnd and proceed by railway. The invalids have received unremitting attention from Mr. John Macdo nald, M.D., surgeon of the Indiana, and in charge of the invalid troops. The Indiana is a most admirably fitted-up ship, better than any we have seen yet, for the comfortable accommodation of sick and wounded, having been originally fitted up for German emigrants of a superior class. The Medway, which also arrived at Spithead at the same early hour on Friday morning as the Indiana, was not taken into harbour yesterday— upwards of 50 hours after reporting herself. The captains could get no one to authorise their coaling in on Saturday morning. the Port-Admiral had gone twodays previously to the Downs with a squadron of honour for the Empe ror of the French ; the Admiral Superintendent of the Dockyard, and pro. tern. acting Commander-in-Gaief, was sitting as president of the court-martial on the officers of the Tiger, and he does not appear to have de puted anybody to do the duties of the port during his engagement on board the Victory, for his flag-lieu tenant told the captain of the Indiana, that he could not see the Admiral, but if he (the captain) chose to take his (the flag-lieutenant's) leave to bring the ship in he might ; and this the captain accepted. These two enormous ships, the one of 2,367 toss, the other up wards of 1,800, each cost the country upwards of 50s. per ton per day. The ease of the latter ship is pecu liarly bad, as she only brought 25 invalids altogether; and they might have been sent into harbour in one of the ship's boats an hour after arrival, if the Crown could not spare one of the thousand in port for that duty. The fact is, some experienced, active officer who knows the work and how to do it, is, and bas long been, wanted at Portsmouth as an unfettered and responsible manager of transports. The Odin, 16, paddle-frigate, Captain Wilcox, went out of Portsmouth harbour, after fitting her new cylinder covers, &e., on Saturday, and anchored at Spit head while she took in powder, &c., after which she steamed away for the Downs, to join the guard of honour for the Emperor of the French under Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane. The Crane, 6, Commander Miller, sailed in company. The Rosamond, 6, paddle sloop, Commander S. L. Crofton, arrived at Spithead from Devonport yesterday morning, with 20 new bo-ts of various descriptions, and new stores, and was reported to leave in the evening for the Downs, taking despatches for Sir Thomas Cochrane, and parcels, &c., for the squadron, which were put on board her by the steam-tug Pigmy. The Great Britain steam transport left Portsmouth on Saturday morning with the troops we reported on Sa turday. The Leander freight ship sailed from Portsmouth har bour yesterday with supplies for the Black Sea fleet, shipped from the Royal Clarence Yard. - The machinery of the screw blockship Cornwallis, 60, Captain George G. Wellesley, baying been rectified, she made a second and mere successful experimental trip out of Plymouth Sound on Saturday, when her speed, under steam, averaged from five to six knots an hour. The screw steam-ship Sanspareil, Captain Woodford J. Williams, was moved into the steam-basin at Key ham, Plymouth, on Friday, preparatory to her being placed in dock to-day. Tho refitting of the frigate Meander, 44, Captain Thos. Baillie, at Plymouth, is proceeding with all despatch, and she will soon be ready to proceed to her destination, which is said to be the White Sea. A. large quantity of compressed bay was last week placed on board the sailing transport Wide-Awake, Captain Moon, at Plymouth, and to-day she is appointed to receive 2 officers, 51 men, and 56 horses of the 13th Light Dragoons, for the Crimea. The hired transport, No. 28, sailed from Plymouth on Wednesday, with provicione and stores for Balaklava. Mr. Grant, Centroller of Victualling, has, during the past week, made his usual annual inspection of the Royal William Victualling-yard, Plymouth.

PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 14. THE The Duke of Lancaster's Own Artillery (formerly the Royal Lancashire), a fortnight ago mustered about 1,000 strong ; but about one half that number had vo lunteered under the act of 1852, and when the regiment was embodied for permanent service they almost unani mously took advantage of the provision enjoining only 56 days' service in each year, and returned to their homes. The remaining portion of the regiment, having joined the service under the recent act, were embodied, and placed on garrison duty at the new battery, north of the Huskisson Dock, Liverpool. Oa Saturday, headed by the band, and accompanied by a piece of ar tillery, they marched through the town. Recruiting for the regiment is rapidly proceeding, and it is anticipated that it will speedily regain the full emnplement. Nearly 600 non-commissioned officers and privates of the 2d West York Light Infantry, now stationed at Sheffield, have been attested for foreign service by Colo nel Smyth, M.P., during the past week. Colonel Smyth, with the concurrence of his brother officers, has recommended Captain (Adjutant) Cobbe to the lieu tenant-colonelcy of the regiment, vacated by the re signation of Lieutenant-Colonel Brandling. The regi ment volunteered for foreign service in October last, and are daily expecting the route for Gibraltar or the lonian Islands. The service companies will proceed to Portsmouth in two divisions in the course of this week, and will remain there until shipping is provided for their accommodation. The following officers will pro ceed abroad—Lieut.-Col. Cobbe, Major Crompton, Cap tains Carroll, Thompson, Sutton, Price, and Stanhope ; Lieutenants Brown, Wilkinson, Duesbury, English, Cleg horn, Lett% and Baxendale ; Ensigns Lloyd, Wilson, Stoddart, and Ick ; Qeartermaeter Linford, Surgeon Paley, Captain and Adjutant Ewen. About 150 men will remain at home, and will be stationed at the regi mental depot at York, undei- the command of Major Van Straubenzie. The strength of the regiment on the 31st ult. was 940 men of all ranks. The 3d West York Regiment of Militia, now stationed at Richmond Barracks, Dublin, which but a few days ago was one of the most efficient and best disciplined regiments in the service, is now reduced almost to a skele ton, in consequence of the numberof men who have availed themselves of Lord Panmure's order to return to their homes. On the receipt of that order Colonel Loftus, alter having con-uited with the General of the Forces, Lord Seaton, who authorised him to give to each man who would consent to be attested for permanent duty a month's furlough, in addition to the supplementary bounty of 11., assembled the regiment in the Barrack square, and called upon them, as Englishmen, not to desert the old colours of the regiment at a time when their services were so much reqeired by the country, re minding them of the good opinioes they had won and the high state of discipline they had attained ; but, not withetanding this appeal., only 121 volunteered to re mein on duty, while 320 availed themselves of the oppor tunity of leaving the service. If Lord Penninve's order had been received two or three days laier nearly all the recusants would have been sworn in for foreign service. It is understood that the rejLeent will shortly be re moved to England to recruit. Tee regiment could not now go abroad unless it obtained a di might from some other corps, a , it is about 250 short ef its complement. From the three militia regiments stationed at Dublin be tween 700 and 800 men were dismissed to their homes last week. A detachment of the Northamptonshire con sistirg of 307 men and 8 o:Beers, arrived by steam at Liverpeol from Dublin on Saturday morning, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Lord Burghley ; and the re mainder arrived at the same port yesterday morning. They proceeded to Northampton. The Cunard steamer Cambria left Liverpool en Satur day for Dublin, having. on board 100 horses, intended for the cavalry remount at the seat of war. She had in tow the clipper ship Crest of the Wave, with a further complement of hor,e.i on board. The Anglesey regiment of Militia, which a fortnight ago numbered upwards of 300, has now dwindled down to about 20 or 30 men. The discharge of so many to whom an instilment of bounty money was due has pro duced great commotion in Beaumaris. The officers were in many instances set upon by the discharged men, and had to draw their swords to enforce obedience or to pre vent violence. Several drunken riots have occurred, one of which very nearly terminated fatally to a militia man, who received a severe wound in the head. The majority of the few retained cannot cl urn their discharge, but some of them have been re•attested and received additional bounty. Among these symptoms of insubor dination have been manifested, and no picket could be mustered to patrol the streets. A memorial has been presented to the authorities by the inhabitants of Beau maris, praying for the removal of the militia corps. The Roscommon and Longford Militia Regiment, it is said, will be quartered at Athlone fur drill, previous to bein g encamped on the Curragb. On Saturday Lieut.-General Thomas arrived in Ar magh from Belfast for the purpose of inspecting the Ar magh Regiment. When the inspection had concluded, the regiment proceeded to the Mall for the purpose of going on with their usual drill, and were followed by General Thomas, Col. the Earl of Gosford, Lieut.-Col. Caulfeild, and the other officers, where the General again expressed himself in complimentary terms. When they returned to barracks Colonel the Earl of Gosford formed them into a hollow square, and having stated that all the officers had expressed their readiness to volunteer for foreign service, he inquired if the men Were willing to follow them ; to which consent was immediately given in three hearty chefrs. The colonel then asked if there was any dissentient, and, if so, that he would step out ; but, to the honour of the corps, not one man left the ranks, and be was again responded to by three hearty cheers. LOSS OF HER MAJESTY'S SHIP TIGER. METROPOLITAN AN LEGISLATION. LOCAL NCI, APRIL 16, 1855 w The members of the court-martiai re-assembled this morning on board the flag-ship Victory, in Portsmouth harbour, pursuant to adjournment from the previous afternoon. Rear-Admiral Martin presided, the other members of the court consisting of Lord G. Paulet, of the Bellerophon ; Capt. E. Ayres, St. George ; Capt. Gordon, Victory ; Capt. Harris, Illustrious ; Capt. Wilcox, Odin • Capt. Caldwell, the Duke of Wellington ; Capt. Elliot, St. Vincent ; Capt Seymour, Pembroke ; Captain Farquhar, Malacca ; and Captain Crispin, Royal yacht. On the opening of the court, The President inquired of Lieutenant Royer if he was prepared with his defence ? Lieutenant Royer said that he 19113; but that many of the certificates that he bad received were burnt in the Tiger. He had, however, obtained a few from officers under whom he bad served, whilst others had been sent to him without application on his part, which he would lay before the court. Lieutenant Royer then said—After a continuous servi tude in the Royal Navy ottending over 25 years, I find myself placed in the painful position of a prisoner, in con sequence of being the surviving officer of her Majesty's late bilip Tiger. The charges for which lam now on my trial involve, first, the stranding of the ship whilst I was officer of the watch ; and second, my conduct after she got on shore, with regard to the manner in which I carried out my duty as first lieutenant in our endeavours to get her off as well as in her subsequent surrender. In answer to the first part of these charges, I have only to state that whilst officer of tite watch on the occasion of her stranding, I took every precaution in my power for her safe conduct by having the leads constently hove from the chains, easing and stopping her for the purpose of ascertaining thecorrectness of the soundings. I re ported to the captain when I thought it most necessary, and although the speed of the ship during my watch was not above 5 knots, I was most careful to, run no risk of shoaling the water too suddenly. The look-outs were frequently visited by myself, as I walked on the bridge and paddle-boxes, and, notwithstanding its being daylight during the watch, I purposely kept two men on the look-out, instead of following the usual order of placing a mastheadman at the masthead, it being so very foggy. and although I was usually relieved at five a.m., with the captain's knowledge, according to the custom of the ship, to enable- me to attend to my duties as first lieu tenant, yet as the captain had left orders that the ship was to be steered N. by W. (nothing to the north) until we struck 10 fathoms, I remained on the quarter-deck until they were obtained, when the officer who had re lieved me reported to the captain, and whilst he was' be low in the cabin the water shoaled to seven fathoms, when I at once ordered the engines to be eased, and I can show by the evidence of the cabin-door sentry (Alfred Parker) that I reported to the captain at this time. Mr. Wilkinson, on returning to the deck, found the master and myself standing near the ladder, when he repeated the orders he had just received from the captain, and then passed on to the bridge. It was then that I went down to report the soundings to the captain. On my return from the cabin, knowing the orders which the captain had given to t'ie officer of the watch, I was not alarmed at finding the water still shoaling, which it continued to do rapidly, from 5 to 21 fathoms, and be= fore any ord€ks could be given she had struck. I amid respectfully call the attention of this bon, court to the evidence of Baker and Gill, who state that they eaw the land but did not report it to me, neithe r did an y one else, therefore Blearing me of any imputation of carelessness or neglect on so important a point. On the second portion of the charges for which I stand before this hon. court, viz., that of my conduct subsequent to the stranding of the ship, as regards my exertions in our endeavour to get her off, I would respectfully remark that, on the morning in question, I acted strictly in accordance with the captain's orders, carrying out to the utmost the wishes he expressed. In toe evidence of Lieutenant Stone he has stated that the captain asked me whether the kedge-anchor was laid out in the best position, and that my answer was in a disrespectful manner ; but by the answer of the officers whom I shall call, I shall prove to have treated the captain at all times with the utmost respect. This hon. court will easily imagine the numerous duties to which I had to direct my attention on this unfortunate occasion, such as lightening the ship, attending at the fire in the store-room, seeing the anchor and cable ready for laying out, and many other occupations, at the same moment. I was superintending these duties as directed by my captain, who himself c;:rried on her defence, nt,d, therefore, reele :tfully put it to the Jo 121:it nt (.1' tnie hon. whether, tin ;or those circumstances, I could be considered the respon sible agent ? With regard to the latter part of the charge, as to my conduct during her subsequent sur render, I have briefly to state that as the captain retained the command of the ship until he had ordered the Rus sian ensign to he hoisted, and an officer to land with a flag of truce to announce our surrender, I consider thst any effort on my part to aid the escape of the ship's company, had it been practicable (our flag being struck), would have been a breach of honour, nor could it have been &me with due regard to the safety of the wounded, or ourselves, considering the enormous force of the enemy which by this time had collected. Had any loss of life arisen from my taking such a course, I should ever have considered myself most culpable. With your permission I will now put. in my certificates. The first certificate was from Captain Burnack Pop ham;of the Pelican, which stated that Lieut. Royer had served under him on the west coast of Africa, and during the whole period his conduct was that of a most able and highly-iutelligent officer. The next was from Captain Craigie, of the Scout, who spoke of Lieut. Royer 's services in the most flattering terms. Lieut. Royer, from the Scout, went to the Melville, from the captain of which vessel he received a certificate to the same effect. A certificate to the same effect was read from Captain Grey, of the Belvidere. He also read letters from the first lieutenant_ of the Favourite, and from officers in other ships, all stating. that Captain Giffard and Lieut. Royer were on the strict est terms of friendship. The President—Do you call any witnesses Lieut. Royer said he proposed to call a few for the purpose of contradicting the evidence given by Baker and Gi 1, who would state that they never beard land reported to him on the morning of the 12th of May; and from their position at the time, if auy such observations had been made to him, they must have heardthem. The following witnesses werethen called by Lieutenant Royer, in his defence : Alfred Parker, sentry at the cabin door on the I2th of May, sworn. Lieutenant Royer—Did I come down to the captain to make a report when the Tiger was lost ? Yes. Did you hear what passed Yes. The first lieutenant reported soundings. Have you any recollection of what they were ? I think they were seven. The President —How often did Lieutenant Royer come down ? Twice. Captain Crispin--Did you hear what the captain said to Lieutenant Royer ? No, I did not ; the captain spoke very slow. Captain Caldwell—At what time was that ? About two bells. About what time was the last time ? Directly the ship struck. What interval of time was there between the first and second time of Lieutenant Royer going to the captain ? About three-quarters of an hour, as near as I can re collect. J. H. Scudamora sworn: Lieut. Royer—Do you remember my coming on deck on the morning of the 12 th o f May I—Yes, about 5.40. What were you on board the Tiger at the time oc, the wreck ?—Acting second master., How long were you in the Dragon and Tiger, to the be-t of your recollection I.—About four years. What is your opinion of my general demeanour to- Wards my captain during that period ?—Respectful in every way. Dr. Doraville sworn. Lieut. Royer—How long were you with Capt. Giffard and myself in the Tiger? --Three yearn and eight months. What is your opinion of my genera' demeanour towards Capt. Giffard during that period ?—lnvariably respectful. Mr.. Wilkinson, mate, sworn. Lieut. Royer—How long were you with Capt. Giffard and myself in the Tiger and Dragon ?—I think four years. What is your opinion of my general demeanour to wer is Captain Giffard during that period?—lt was always most respectful. Lieutenant Royer said, he would call no further wit nesses, unless it was the desire of the court that he I should do so. The President—You must exercise your own discre tion as to that. Lieut. Royer—Then I . will call nofurther witnesses. The President — ls the master prepared with his de fence ? Mr. Eddington said he should be prepared with, it in a few minutes After a short pause, Mr. Eddington said he was prepared, but he wished to state that all the certificates he had obtained during his service had been destroyed by , the fire on board the Tiger, with the exception o f one )which had been left be hind in England. That was from Capt. Hastings, with whom he had sailed, and which he should hereafter lay before the court. Mr. Eddington then read the following document in answer to the charge of losing the ship :—" Mr. President and members of this honourable court, it is with deep regret that I new find myself arraigned before you on a charge of losing my ship, the circumstances attending which loss have been fully brought before you. In de fence of my conduct as master and pilot of the Tiger, I have briefly to state that on the 11th of May, 1854, we left the admiral at noon ' • we were in lat. 44.39 N., and long. 32 53, Cape Aix S.E. by E. 4 E. true, and distant 30 miles. At eight o'clock p.m. Captain Giffard sent for me, and, after looking at the chart, considered with myself that a north-west course (nothing to the north wart]) would take us to the edge of the Odessa bank, on which there is five fathoms ; his orders, however, being that when the ship got so near to it as to be In ten fathoms, he was to be called. I had p reviousl y to this voyage been twice into Odessa. We proceeded on the given course at the rate ranging from eight to nine knots, stopping occasionally to get soundings. I myself being on deck the whole of the middle watch, excepting a few minutes while I reported soundings, as well as during the morning watch, until the ship struck. At about twenty minutes past five, in the morning watch, Mr. Wilkinson, the officer of that watch, who had just before relieved Lieutenant Royer, reported to him 16 fathoms, and then went below, to acquaint the cap tain of the depth of water. I remained on the quarter deck, near the standard compass, to hear the captain's reply. Mr. Wilkinson returned with orders that she was to go on the same course at 44 knots, or less, until we got 5 fathoms, and then she. was to be steered west; my opinion that ,we were by the reckoning some 15 or 16 miles to the eastward of Odessa, and when the 5 fathoms was obtained, by steering west we should deepen our • water, and find ouralves in the bay of Odessa. ralt is too well known that from this time the water gdually shoaled to 7, and almost immediatel y to 5 fathoms, the ship taking the ground on the steep beach under the high land, about four miles to the southward of Odessa. I fear 'much that this honourable court may be under the impression that I showed a want of judgment in running the ship at such a spee ith the ob d through so dense a fog; but as I w as not acquainted w ject of our service on that occasion, further than the cap tain was anxiottis to be off Odessa s early in the morn ing as possible, I was induced to retard her course but little, consistent w ith the fety of of the the l ship, a alitny. d trusting much to my previous ksanowlege oc It be ben stated before ,this hon. court by the leads men and look-outnian of the morning watch that they re p o rted the land to me, which they did not,least so that I could hear them, and which statement has also been shown to be incorrect from the fact that no land could be seen in the, direction which they state, or at the distance which we were from it, when they say they win g contradicted each other in sa w it, as well as their the description o f the land. J. will now conclude this de fence by stating candidly to this b oo. court th that I beli westward was kn a four own to by the current wh ich, after her stranSlieg, h a ve let her paddle - bo x boat awa y fro,: tlse ship in r knots sout h- wes terly direction at a rate of nea rl y ticu'arl , and to which cau se, o p eratin g u p on her pas• y during the morning watch, whilst she was eases; and stopped for the purpose of attending soundings, I atti: - bute her running ashore. lam a master of fourteen, years' standing, and.during that time I have served and been in charge of her Majesty's ships Harlequin, Bril liant, Penelope, Devastation, Dragon, and Tiger, and have never before had the misfortune to cause the least injury to one of them. During the above period of 14 years I have at all times obtained the confidence of my captains, in the proof of which 1j now submit to this hon. court the only remaining certificate in my possession, which happened to be lodged in England, and thereby saved from being lost in the Tiger. I would add, that in proof of Captain Giffard's opinion of me, I have served with him in three different sihps. I new leave my case in the hands of this hon. court, who I am sure will bear in mind the anxiety Which I have suffered during the last eleven months, and I trust, from what the court have observed at this trial as to my conduct, that they will acquit me of blame in the loss of the Tiger.. Lieut. Royer was called as a witness by Mr. Edding ton, and he said—l have no hesitation in expressing the opinion that on all points connected with the navigation of the ship in which we served, Mr. Eddington was un remitting in his attention to his duties as master of the ship, and I think him quite equal to all the duties ; and I know that Captain Giffard was satisfied with the cor rectness of his observations and attention. Several other witnesses were then called, who spoke most highly of his skill as a master, and as to his integ rity as an officer. The court was then cleared, and remained closed for four hours, On its re-opening, • L. Greetham, Esq., the deputy judge advocate, read the finding of the court, which was to the following effeets—" That the said ship Tiger was run on shore in cotlsequence of having been rashly conducted as she approached the coast of Odessa, and that after the ship had been run on shore, the measures resorted to get her afloat were very injudicious ; but in respect to the surrender of the Tiger to the enemy, that : as the ship was aground, without any hope being enter tained of floating her off, and as she was exposed to the enemy's guns, which had set her on fire, and upon which the guns of the ship could not be brought to bear. no blame can be imputed in consequence of such surren der. The Court is further of opinion no blame is imput able to Lieut. Royer, since he acted under the imme diate direction of his captain, and the Court doth adjudi cate him to be acquitted. The Court is further of opinion that Mr. Francis Eddington is blameable for the want of caution which was exhibited by him in approaching , the shore near Odessa, but in consideration of his pre vious good character and long sery doth adjud ge hi m to be only severely reprimanded ; and the said Lieut, Royer is hereby acquitted, and the said Francis Edding ton be and is hereby severely reprimanded." The court then broke up, We Cannot close this subject without doing an act of hare justice to L. Greetham, El., the deputy ju t d e ad vocate for the uniform courtesy he show e d to the repre sentatives of the press, and for his earnest desire to give them every assistance and accommodation in his power. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Pending, the investigation of the merits of Sir B. Hall's bill, for the amendment of our Metropolit in and Local Legislation, permit me, through the medium of your valuable journal, to direct public attention to one important fact, which appears altogether to have escaped more general notice. The bill in question con veys the power, under certain limitations, to make and collect rates, for carrying into effect all measures pro posed by its enactments. But in no clause is it either stated or defined upon what basis this proposed rate should be assessed, nor what standard should be fol lowed in its collection. The power to make and collect any rate, either for the purposes of the Beard 'of Health or otherwise, is no trifling consideration or authority to be demanded, and of itself necessarily involves a large amount of responsibility, both -in its delegation and in its administration —since such a rate must be over and above all poor rates; paving rates, sewers, police, or any other now existing rate, at present chargeable upon all houses, lands, and properties throughout the king dom. It should, therefore, be borne in mind, and I sub mit it should now be first decided, what hereafter shall constitute the true and correct data of parochial assess ment. The present assessment of the whole metropolis to the poor's-rate, &c., is most notoriously dtf-sctive— ( Vide Magistrates' Returns)—for while such parishes as St. Martin's, St. Clement's, Covent Gardet', St James's, Bethnal:Green, Chelsea, &c., are, by that document, declared to be assessed upon comparatively a correct valuation, and to the utmost amount at which such parishes should be chargeable, such other parishes, as St. Mary-le-Strand, St. George, Hanover-square, St. Pancras, Marylebone, &c., ars also declared to be assessed upon arbi:rary and ideal amounts, and in sums varying from 52 per cent, downwards below their actual net annual value, upon which the first-named parishes are assessed. Therefore, in order to obtain something like uniformity in the county rate (but in the county rate alone) the magistrates in session have been compelled to add even in hundreds of thousands of pounds a proportionate sum to the assessment of those last-named parishes, and to almost every other parish in the county but those previously excepted, in order to equalise the assessment to the county itself. Nor does the house tax, fsunded upon income-tax returns (whereon the actual fact is too often sought to be evaded), supply a basis of assessment one jot more certain or even more approximately correct than the former. I therefore take the liberty of suggesting that the proper time has now arrived when the Legislature should be loudly called upon to declare, and correctly to define, that which hereafter shall 'constitute the true and cor rect data of parochial assessment, and determine that standard, after which all rates universally shall be made and collected. To accomplish this great desideratum nothing further is requisite than, through the bill which hereafter shall regulate all metropolitan legislation, to declare that the provisions of the fith and 7tti Wm. IV., commonly called "The Parochial Assessment Act," shall be made compulsory of adoption upon all parishes, and that the enactments as 'regards valuation, essess ment, &c., shalt be - administered upon both (like the Metropolitan Buildings Act), since the act alluded to, and now so almost univevally evaded, decleees "that no rate shall he valid or be of any force which is not made upon the net annual value of all the several hereditament; I rated" thereunto. Such a provision, simple as it would be) would, in fact, place the saddle upon tee resht horse and thus it would bring the wealthy parish of St. George, Hanover-square, and many other.; of the like kind, as far as their own quota is concerned, into contrileition of their fair share toward the relief of the poor, which in this one instance is about is. 6d. or 2s. in the pound per annum ; while some of the smaller parishes in the City pay as much as Bs. 6d. in the pound per annum to ac , eomplish the same object. Therefore, in one homogeneous scheme of parochial jurisprudence, let the Legislature be called upon now to interpose, and by statutory enactment to do away with all such existing anomalies as th, se—viz., that the house tax be collected upon one standard of assessment, the poor rate upon another, the police and county rates upon another, and so on through the catalogue. Let the Legislature now declare that which hereafter shall and ought to be, and all will be well ; and in the alteration which will be hereby accomplished, the additional im post of a rate for the Board of Health will scarcely be felt. Otherwise, let undue pressure remain, let the de finition of one correct standard assessment rest un touched, and evil upon evil will be perpetuated, the enactments and proceedings of the Board'of Health will become a mere mockery of and departure from all prin ciple, a public delusion as to its real purpose, and a snare to the pockets of all unsuspecting and by far too willing ratepayers ; and that though called a Bill of Health, it will in reality be found to have "no health in it."

Never, indeed, did the truly picturesque park of Lord Dacre present a more gay and animated appearance. The sport was interesting, and speculation on the va:ious events of the day tolerably brisk. THE HON. FRANCIS VILLIERS, M.P. In sporting circles the abrupt departure of ti2e above gentleman for the Continent is the sole topic of cOnver sation, as so many of its members are his victims. We would not willingly aggravate the feelings of the Jersey family by any allusion to the painful indiscretion of one of its memberS, but deeming, as we do, that high birth and liberal education are no excuse for crime, but, on the contrary, an aggravation of ir, we think it only right to lay before our readers such particulars as have reached us, guarant eiog, as we are enabled to do, their authen ticity. Mr. Villiers' expenditure Las lung been lulown to exceed the lucerne of the youngt.r son of a nobleman, and the rate. of interest at which he was accustomed to raise the funds for keeping up his position on the turf varied from sixty to eighty per cent. per annum. In the securities which he was accustomed to give the money-lender of the great metropolis he was joined by many friends, who, confident of his honour, did not hesitate to accommodate him with their names. But we regret to add, that we fear, in too many instances, those names were not genuine, ae,t par ties who oely ineetined they %v.-re 1 aide for certain sums, are now called, unen f r trehe the t. 'iotn• • them, we understand, ant ng whom are the Marciels Bath, Lord Glasgow, and L Ciilderi, have disavowed their signatures, and legal measures will be immediately adopted to try the question. Many of the leading book makers of the Ring, who employ their spare capital in the discount of bills of exchange, are heavy sufferers, as the position of Mr. Villiers was such as almost to guarantee them from any loss fur their advances. Such, however, is not the case, and for many a long year to come we fear the name of Francis Villiers will be re tained in their memory. Mr. Villiers has resigned his Si m warcishivand his seat, ,s hie!, !aor‘ . , will he far more vi,o-thily by Mr. . n Q C„ ahois a cam:lit:Au fur it.
