PARISIAN RUXURS. There are a variety of rumours afbat concerning Prince Napoleon, his report to the Emperor of the way in which the war is being conducts], and the probable consequences of his representations. Some people profess to know for certain that General Canrobert will be superseded by General Pelimier, who was to have left Algiers on the 18th to tiles the command of a division in the Crimea. General Canrobert is of all the soldiers who took a leading part in the ooup (Teta perhaps the rest popular in the army, his military genius and exalted personal character being admitted by o6cers whose political sympathies are altogether adverse to the present regime. It was known long age that the Emperor looked to him as the man likely to illustrate the French arms under his reign. The high command he now wields is a confir mation of all that has been said about the Emperor's con fidence in him, and I do not beliese that confidence is at this moment in any degree forfeLed. But this much is true :--There is at the Palaie Itoysl a species of tolerated opposition to the Tuileries. P r i nce Nap o leo n, as youhave seen by the article in the Presse, bo put himself upon the country as a censor of the actual c•mmander of the army before Sebastopol. That he mar have made a report against General Canrobert is very likely. It is possible that for reasons of stata an apparent importance may be allowed to be aqached to thi s !s p or t i n c e rtain court circles. But there is small liker.hood it will be acted upon. It is said M. Magne will shortly be appointed Minister of Finance in the glace of M. Bineau, whose health is in a desperate state. M. Rouher is spoken Of an likely to to the new Minister of Public Works. M. Magna wishes to keep the latter portfolio until the affair of the Grand Central Railway, in which he takes a great i n t eres t, i s se ttl e d. The general meeting, which it was thmght would have been postponed, was held yesterday. The management asked for full powers to continue their negotiations with Go vernment for the Nevers and several other branch lines. These powers were granted unanimously. No fresh call was spoken of, but it was agreed that special bonds should be created for the execution of the Nevers line. _-- - People pretend that the a.rticie — inWednesday's Moni teur on the success of the loan wag written by the Emperor. THE TRADE AND PORT OF LONDON VERSUS THE DOCK COMPANISS. Yesterday afternoon a most influential meeting of the principal wharfingers, granarymen, up-town warehouse men, watermen, and lighterraen interested in the port and trade of London, was held at the Ship Tavern, Water-lane, Lower Thames-street, for the purpose of considering and adopting measures to oppose the bills at present before Parliament to increase the powers of the East and West India Dock Companies, as also the Lon don and St. Katharine's Docks, to increase their powers to tax the merchants, traders, wharfingers, warehouse keepers, lightermen, and granarymen of London and the metropolitan districts. Mr. J. W. Hall, of the Custom -house and Wool Quays, was unanimously called to the chair. Mr. BERET, of the Legal and Sufferance Quays Asso ciation, having briefly adverted to the objects for which the meeting had been convened, Mr. SIDNEY SMITE, the Secretary to the promoters of the movement, read a very lengthened, ingenious, and elaborate statement of the evils of the proposed enact ments by the Dock Companies' Bills to all persons con nected with the navigation of the river Thames or the port of London. The statement was received and adopted by the meet ing with great applause. Mr. Pillow, Mr. Curling, and several other gentlemen, having addressed the meeting, resolutions were agreed te, and a committee formed for the purpose of organ ising a general opposition to the measure before Parlia ment, and to induce the Government from assenting to their support to the proposed measure ; and after some general observations, a subscription was entered into to a large amount to carry into effect - the objects of the meeting. A vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the meeting separated. G. JANUARY 26, 1 LA TV INTELLIGENCE-(T.HIS DAY). COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. THE QUEEN V. THE PHARMACEUTICAL SOCIETY. This matter came before the court in a special case. The luestion which it was to decide was whether the regis trar of the society had properly enrolled two gentlemen, named Murdock and Abrahams, who had been in busi ness as chemists before the society obtained their act of incorporation. The question was argued at great length last term, and the court this morning gave judgment, pronouncing in favour of the registrar, who they held had acted properly in the discharge of his duty. The judgment in this case determines the positions of several hundred gentlemen similarly circumstanced. EXCHEQUER. BOYLE V. IVISE3IAN. The facts of this case will be familiar to the reader. It was an action for libel arising out of a letter written by Cardinal Wiseman to L'Universo and EA rai de Reli gion, two Paris papers, and afterwards copied into the Catholic Standard. The letter, it was allege 1 , reflected most severely and unjustly upon the character of the plaintiff, who is a Roman C ttholie priest ; but at the trial, which took place at the last Croydon aksizes, it turned out that the Abbe Conyers, who had charge of the original letter, refused to produce it ; and the Abbe being beyond the jurisdiction of the court, there was no legal authority to compel bins to produce it. It was therefore proposed to put in secondary evidence of the contents and authorship of the letter, but the Lord Chief Baron, who tried the case, refused to receive it. This secondary evidence failing, it was next proposed to call the Cardinal himself ; but this also the Chief Baron refused, upon the recognised rule of law that a man cannot criminate himself. At the trial it was contended that it would be time enough to set up that objection after the Cardinal had been sworn, and an improper question put to him ; but the Chief Baron con tinued resolute in his determination not to let the Cardinal be sworn ; and there being, cense. tuently, no sufficient evidence of the authorship or contents of the letter, the plaintiff was non-suited. This being the state of matters last term, Mr. James, Q.C., moved for and obtained a rule, calling upon the defendant to show cause why a new trial should not be had, on the ground that the Lord Chief Baron was wrong in rejecting the secondary evidence, and not al lowing the Cardinal to be sworn. The rule came on for argument before the full Court on Tuesday, and Mr. Serjeant Shoe, Mr. Bramwell, Q.C., and Mr. Badderly were heard at some length against it, while Mr. James, Q.C., and Mr. Lush argued in support of the rule. The Court gave judgment this morning, making the rule absolute on both points. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. ;Sittings at Guildhall before Mr. Justice Crowder.) CORSELLAS V. TURNER.-A QUIET-TO•RIDE MARE. This was an action to recover the sum of 251., paid 1,37 the plaintiff as purchase money for a mare, with whom a warranty had been given. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Robinson were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Giffard for the defendant. The plaintiff in the case is a solicitor, living at Wandsworth, and the defendant an innkeeper and horse dealer at Kingston, and about the latter end of October last plaintiff bought of de fendant a mare, which was warranted a quiet-to ride mare, and fit for a lady. As soon as they got it home, plaintiff put it into the hands of his groom, who found that it was very tricky, and given to biting, cross ing the road, and finally, when checked, would come to a dead stand-still, but the moment she turned towards home would return at the speed of an express train. She had also a peculiar distaste to facing a rising ground, and it would appear that her character was well known to nearly all the people in the neighbourhood. As soon as Mrs. Corsellas tried to ride her she experienced the tricks complained of. Mr. Corsellas, who it appeared was not a very experienced horseman, tried the mare, and she bolted with him. He then returned the mare to de fendant, after keeping it three weeks, an de fendant was to get plaintiff another one, but it would seem did not do so for some time, and plaintiff bought another one. The defendant went upon two occasions to plaintiff's upon the mare, when she went through all the bad habits complained of. Ultimately the defendant offered to return 241., but plaintiff refus ing to accede to that, the mare was taken to plaintiff's and there tied up and left. Plaintiff upon that sent it to the pound, and from there it was sent to Smithfield and sold for 141. For the defence it was shown that the mare was all that was requisite, and that the conduct complained of was occasioned solely by the extreme incapability of the pla_ri tiff and his Wife to rid. v, ntanage a horse. The case was proceeding when we went to press, and will occupy the entire day. COURT' CIRCULAB. WINDSOR, JAN. 25. The dinner party yesterday included the Duchess of Kent, Lady Fanny Howard, the Hon.

Up to the tat of December the Admiralty had ex pended 6,7931. in the maintenance of Russian prisoners of war. We believe that Captain Sir Richard Grant will com plete his time of service as flag-captain of the Victory. The departure of the Iberia steamer for the Peninsular ports is delayed from the 27th to the 29th inst. The Moniteur of yesterday publishes the bill adopted by the Legislative Corps for calling out 140,000 men of the class of 1854.

Bryan. We have to report to-day the death of Sir John Boyd, which took place at Boulogne, on the 14th inst., after daughter of the Right Hon. Thomas Harley, a short illness. He was the son of the second baronet, daughter of the third Earl of Oxford. He was year 1786, and married in 1818, and is suc- Augustus, bora in 1818. The deceased baronet was in his 68th year. SHIPBROICERS' AND SHIP AND CUSTOM-HOUSE AGENTS' his heir John BENEVOLENT SOCIETY MEETING.—The second annual general meeting of this society was held yesterday at the Hamburg Coffee-house; W. Phillips, Esq., in the chair. Two more pensioners, J. Woolcombe, aged 67, nearly 30 years a shipbroker, and J. M. Parish, aged 63, a Custom-house agent from 1827 to 1846, at 201. per annum, were unanimously elected. The receipts during the pastyear lead exceeded the expenditure byll6/.185.5d., after payment of the pensions. The total amount of stock invested in the name of the society is 1,0001. A resolu tion to admit widows as recepients of the funds of the society was carried. More than 2001. was collected at the close of the proceedings. NOTTINGHAM TEADE.—Lace business exhibits this week a shade of improvement upon last week, but it must be observed that last week was perhaps the dullest of our whole season's dulness. For January, the hosiery trade is also comparatively dull, for business is still sus tained by one market alone—the home one—and our manu f ac t ur ers believe that they must await patiently the turn of two or three months' events before foreign transactions again become active. —N ett i ng i amh i re Guardian. STATE OE TRADE. —Business is evidently decreasing week by week, not only in London, but th roughout the United Kingdom, and with the failures of the last few days promises to become still worse.

CHINA. —According to the telegraphic accounts from China yesterday, which reach to the 12th of December, there has been a slight rise in the rat e of exchange, cal culated to increase the shipments of silver from this country. By the previous mail the quotation at Canton was 4s. Bd., and it is now 4s. Bid. ; while at Shanghai it has advanced from 6e- sd. to Os. 64d. Th e export of tea to date was 44,000,0001 b, and, as the total, which lately showed a deficiency, has thus reached an amoun t exactly equal to the e xport up to the corresponding period of last i'year, and no supplies are corning from Canton, the shipments from Foo-chow-foo and Shang hai must have been u nexpectedly act i ve. Of silk the export was 26,609 bales, against 28,000 last year, and the stock at Shanghai was only 1,500 bales of in ferior quality. Political affairs in the south were in a position more critical than ever, and the Canton autho rities bad applied officially for assistance to the English and American Consuls, with what result is not stated, although it is to be presumed all interference will be avoided. No produce had arrived from the interior, and the trade of the port was completely suspended. The long-vexed question as to the payment of the arrears of export duties on tea at Shanghai, claimed by the Impe rial Government, in the absence of all power on their part to collect them, is stated to have been settled, as far as the Ameriemes aro concerned, h pay up one-third . "y a n agreement to 71 ad STATE OF AFFAIRS IN CRACOW. A letter from Cracow, 20th, in the Constitution net, says : " On lately returning to this city I was surprised at the changes which had taken place in the course of the last year in the ancient capital of old Poland. Cra cow Las been transformed into a formidable fortress, which in the event of a war between Austria and. Rus sia would certainly become the principal centre of military operations. When I speak of military opera tions, I must tell you that I made the journey from War saw by the old road of Radom, the iron mines of Kielic, Michalowitz, and Barun, and that I everywhere met with nothing but indications of war. The aspect of Warsaw itself is little calculated to give hopes of peace, the Alex ander citadel, the cavalry barracks of Ujasdoff near La sienky, and Micowsky, being quite full of troops. The Sapeiha barracks have been demolished, as well as that of the Sappers. The former and some hundred■ of houses with it were sacrificed, in order to gain ground for the establishment of the hornwork of the citadel and of the two recently constructed towers. Dur ing the last few days there has been a ♦ery sharp frost at Warsaw, which has been a great blessing for the inhabitants ; for, since the demolition of the bridge across the Vistula, the price of provisions has consider ably increased, and it is to be presumed that a reduction will take place when the river can be crossed over the ice. The hereditary Grand Duke, in his quality of com mander-in-chief of the Guards and Grenadiers, will have under his orders General do Grabbe, who has just been appointed to succeed General de Berg, in the command of the troops of Revel and Esthonia. It is already known at St. Petersburg that Prussia will, boa gre mal fir, decide on joining Austria as soon as the latter power shall have assumed the offensive ; and it is on this account that, according to general opinion, the for mation of the corps of the Baltic under the orders of General Sievers was decided on." RESIGNATION OF THE " TIMES."-RUIN 01 THE NATION. Yesterday the Times formally placed in the hands of the public the resignation of its office of chief advisor. It will no longer he responsible for the national welfare. " We will take no further part in such an affair. We wipe our hands of the war." Its commands aro not obeyed, mid it retires. Like other prime ministers, on quitting office it gives a last advice to withdraw the troops from the Crimea, break off the alliance with France, let Turkey fight against Austria and Russia, hold out the hand to the Czar, and ask for his mercy and forgiveness. Does the Times, which assumes that its advice has guided the war, hope to escape impeachment by now running away when difficulties come ? Does it hope for honour and reward from the conquerors, by being foremost to counsel submission I? Poor public, what will become of you, now you are forsaken by your great leader ? What can you do but follow Ins advice ? Withdraw from the Crimea, allow the Turks and the Russians to settle their own quarrels in their own way, and carry on your trade under the protection of the mighty Czar as you best can. Perhaps you may suspect treachery in the advice previously given—treachery in first having belied our army and under stated our national resources —and then treachery in deserting to the enemy treachery all through. And if you harbour such a suspicion, you will not regret but rejoice at the resignation of the Times, and regard it as the surest means of preserving your power, saving your honour, and giving the law to the Czar. --Laxly Netts. NEW GENERAL MAP OF EUROPE. The Messrs. Blackwood have just issued a General Map of Europe-3.1 ft. by 4, , m ounted—in their usual superior style. The map has been constructed from the best authorities by A. Keith Johnston, F.R.G.S., &c., Geographer to the Queen, and comprises the latest additions and rec tifications, of the accuracy of which Mr. Johnston's same is a sufficient guarantee. Sea and railway routes, with the distances of the former, are dis tinctly laid down—heights and distances are given in English feet and miles fortified towns are boldly marked, and the dates of important battles, up to the latest period, are presented in immediate contact with the localities in which they were fought. The map is an exceedingly valuable one, and, in the present complex state of our foreign relations, may be consulted with advantage by all, and is therefore likely to meet, as it deserves, with a large romunozative oak', RUMOURS CONCERNING THE MINISTRY. Yesterday was the high festival of Rumour. In the afternoon—some time before Mr. Ilayter made an offi cial announcement of the factistha Ileum of Commons —it had become tolerably well known that Lord John Russell no longer held office in the Cabinet of Lord Aberdeen. The public expected to hear that Govern went had been defeated in an attempt to oppose Mr. Roebuck's motion for a committee of inquiryirttolhe Con duct of the wair and they were obliged to be content, at least fora few hours, with the sacrifice of one Minister. And after all it was neither the Duke of Newcastleesor Mr. Si dney Herbert, but Lord John Russell who had offered himself as the victim to public indignation. Were matters ; to remain thus the Peelites would be undisturbed in the honours and emoluments of office, and tile Whig' section of the Cabinet alone would be made to fe4l that " Eng land does not like a Coalition." But can the movement stop here ? Or are we to hear of fresh resignations ? Is one Minister after the other to flinch from inquiry until Lord Aberdeen is left, in solitary and unenviable grandeur, to look upon the desolation he has caused ? Or is 'Lord John Russell the only one who has the honesty to confess that, in almost every respect, the Crimean expedition I as been shamefully mismanaged : that the best thirr , is to make a clean breast of it, an d to give up the task ° into the hands of men better (pall lied to meet a great emergency ? To none of these que, tiOPS can any reliable answer be returned, beyond what Hill be build stated in the preceding article. While waiting till Lord John shall tell his own tale in Parliament, it may be interesting to give, in as few words as possible, the passing rumours of yesterday. In some quarters it was believed, early in the forenoon, that the whole Ministry had resolved upon resigning. The ordeal, it was said, was too severe. Da what they would, it was equally impossible to contradict the facts, and to withstand the sarcasm of Mr. Roebuck. The time had gone by for promises and equivocations. The British nation wanted to know what had become of the thousands of brave men who had lately left these shores in the pride of life and strength. From every lip, in every palace and every cottage, the stern inquiry had come. It was a terrible thing to face the organ of a nation, roused beyond endurance by the spectacle of calamities which might have been avoided. It might be that other men would have been quite as inexperienced, quite as unprepared for war, quite as unable to over come the enormous difficulties of the crisis. But be that as it might, Ministers could not but know that they at least had failed, and the only possible course was to resign. Another rumour soon succeeded—that two members only were to be sacrificed. The Duke of Newcastle and Mr. Sidney Herbert were responsible, in the eyes of the public, for the confessed mismanagement of the Crimean expedition. Why should the whole Cabinet suffer for the sins of two men ? Why not fling away the leaven which went far to corru p t the whole mass ? This was no time to think of private friendship and family connexions. Public men must rise above such petty considerations. How has that powerful Coalition Ministry earned nothing but con tempt, inspiring no confidence, declining in reputation, but because two out of the whole number had shown themselves unequal to their task 1 There could be no doubt about the matter. The sinning members must be cut off. In other words, the Duke of Newcastle and Mr. Sidney Herbert must resign. At last these rumours evaporated, and the real truth came out that Lord John Russell alone had resigned, and that political oracles had been consulted in vain. But the question remained, how the event came to pass ? According to some accounts, the whole proceeding is a con spiracy, got up by Lord J. Russell and Lord Palmerston, for the entire destruction of the Peelites. It was all very well, so long as the Whigs were weak, to coalesce with the followers of Sir Robert Peel, but what was the case now ? It was the Peelites who had drawn down upon the Cabinet the indignation of the public, and they must perish in the storm which their own conduct had raised. Besides, the whole force of public opinion pointed in that direction. It was Lord Grey who had pointed out the necessity for a War Minister, and no one was so well fitted as he was to undertake the arduous duties of that post. With Lord John Russell as Premier, Lord Palmerston as leader of the House of Commons, and Lord Grey as War Minister, the whole aspect of affairs would presently be changed. The wand of the magician would wave over the snow-clad steppes of the Crimea, Sebastopol would fall, and the memory of the dread and sorrowful past would quickly fade away. But this was not the only form that busy rumour took. Lord John Russell's esoteric reasons for assum ing the position he did were revealed by certain mes meric sages. Suppose, after all, that he saw reasons to doubt the sincerity of Austria, and, in opposition to the other members of the Cabinet, would gladly see an end to the conferences at Vienna. Suppose that the ex- Minister had resolved that he, at least, would be no party to an easy peace, and that his resignation was, in fact, a censure on colleagues too ready to sacrifice the honour of their country— - around the board Thus Lara's vassals prattled of their lord. But, as already said, all that is really known of Lord ohn Russell's resignation, and the reason ha has assigned for it, will be found stated in the preceding article. For what he himself may be disposed to tell we must wait till this evening, In the meantime, it seems not uninteresting to chronicle the various shapes that rumour successively assumed in the courso of yes terday—to stamp on the canvas these " Cynthias of the ininuto"--to encase in amber these flies of the order of the epheinerce.—Dc442/ News. TITHE COMMUTATION SEPTENNIAL AVERAGES. TOTIIN F.DITOIt OF TOE SUIT. Sir,—On the Sth inet. , I communicated to you the result of the septennial averages to Christmas, 1851, ac deduced from the return published in the London Ga:cttc of the sth inst. : s. d. Wheat Barley Oats 2 6 and that each 100/. of the tithe rent charge for the year 1855 would amount to 89/. 15s. 81d. Several communications baying been addressed to me expressing surprise that the value of the rent charge should have gradually decreased since the year 1849, while the price of wheat has gradually increased during the came period, in order to show that this may be ex plained, I must draw attention to the mode in which the question of tithes was settled in 1838. It was enacted, by the 57th clause of the Tithe Com mutation Act (6 and 7 Was. IV., c. 71), " that the amount of the rent charge, as awarded or agreed upon, should be divided into three portions, and that every tithe rent charge should be deemed to be of the value of such number of imperial bushels, aid decimal parts of an imperial bushel of wheat, barley, and oats, as the saint would have purchased at the average prices for seven years ending Thusday before Christmas-day, 1835, in cage one-third part of each rent charge had been invested in the purchase of wheat, one third part thereof in the purchase of barley, and the remaining one-third part in the purchase of oats." In conformity with the above, we find that 100/. ex pended in wheat, barley, and oats, would purchase the following quantities, at the average prices for seven years to Christmas, 1835, as fixed in the London Gazette of Dec. 9, 16:0 Per Imp. Bushel. e. d. One-third, or £33 6 8 in wheat, at 7 is equivalent to 94.955489 _ _ Imp. Bushels One-third: or 33 G Bin barley, at 3 I 1 i One third, or 33 68 in oats, at 2 9 168.421052 242.424242 £lOO 0 0 It is, therefore, clear that the rent charge was not a fixed money payment of 1001., but only such a sum as the above quantities of wheat, barley, and oats are equi valent to, according to the average prices for seven years to each preceding Christmas. The septennial averages, as published in the London Ga: tte, may be shown to be correct by the following statement of the annual averages : Wheat per Imp. Qr. Barley per Imp. Qr. Oats per Imp. Qr. g. d. s. d. s. d. 1848 5O 6 ... 31 a ... 20 6 1849 44 3 27 0 17 6 1850 4O 3 23 6 16 5 1851 3B 6 ... 24 9 ... 18 7 1852 4O 9 ... 28 6 19 1 1853 53 3 ... 33 2 ... 21 0 1854 72 5 ... 36 0 27 11 3)339 11 T)205 2 7)141 0 8)48 6 8)29 3 8)20 1 Average p. imp. bus. 6 01 The year 1847, which in the above account is re placed by the year 1854, was, in consequence of the scarcity which then existed, one of high prices, and par ticularly so as to barley and oats, viz.:— A. d. s. d. 5 8 . d. s On comparing these amounts, which ar e exc l u d e d with those of 1854, w hi c h are added, 1847....1Vbeat, 69 9 ...

We have seen that the 1001. re n t c h a rge was, from the passing of the act, to be represented by a certain number of bushels of wheat, barley, and oats ; there fore, if we value these numbers of bushel 3 by the septen nial average prices, as fixed in the London Gazette of the sth inst., we shall find the value of 100/. of tithe rent charge for the year 1855 as follows ?-- Per Imp.

I bane given will enable any one to satisfy himself, at any future time, as to the ac curacy of the valuation of the tithe rent charge, as well as of the septennial average prices of wheat, barley, and oats. It may be of some use to the owners of tithe rent charge to be aware that, by the 20th section of 3 Vic., c. 15, the half-yearly rent charge which becomes due on the Ist of January, is to be regulated by the averages publised in the month of January in the preceding year, not by the averages published a few days after the said Ist of January.—l remain, &c., CnApLES M.

At a meeting of the guardians of the poor of the Port. sea Island Union, held in the Poor-house, Kingston, Portsmouth, this evening, at which were present—Mr. Alderman Levy, vice-chairman, president, the following members of the town-council :—Messri. J. A. H. Howell, Hannam, Newlyn, R. F. Jolliffe, Palmer, Daw, Well, White, and Dore ; Messrs. King and T. Batche lor, guardians ; and Mr. Devereux, solicitor, clerk to the board, the case of John Williams, the distressed British seaman, landed from the Himalaya on the 3d, and who died in the Poor-house on the evening of the 4th, of alleged exhaustion and neglect both on board and after landing, was re-opened by the chairman, who read the following letters which had been received since the last meeting of the guardians, held this day fortnight : "13, Cannon-row, Westminster, Jan. 12. " Gentlemen,—l have road the report of your pro ceedings at your meeting on the 10th inst., as given in The Son of this date, and with ;reference to that part - of the certifi- ate and declaration of Mr. Bull, the stir ' v.: eon of the union, wherein he states that the seaman Williams died in consequence of neglect while on board the Himalaya,' I think it right to forward you a copy of a communication which I have sent to Lord Palmer ston, in the hope that his lordship will do me the justice to take measures to relieve me of the most unjust im putation cast on me.—T am, gentlemen, yours obediently, "JAMES M`CANN, M. D., " Late Surgeon in charge of Himalaya," "To the Guardians of the Poor of the Portsea Island Union." The following, is the statement alluded to in the above letter : "On the arrival of the Himalaya at Spithead, on the 2d inst., one of her Majesty's tenders, with a naval cap tain in charge, came alongside and received the naval invalids, 11 in number, put on board at Malta. By order of Captain Russell, of the Himalaya, I made over the invalids, with their papers, for the purpose, as I be hove, of being taken to the hospital. The complaint under which the seaman Williams laboured was chronic disease of the liver, accompanied by hemorrhoid. The man Williams, during the 14 days he was on board the Himalaya, received every attention, professional and otherwise. He was seen twice a day by me, and Dr. Manifold, medical officer in charge of military inTalids on board the ship, saw him with me. I declare that Williams received every kind of attention, with suitable diet, and six ounces of port wine daily, and that that part of the report of Mr. Bull, surgeon of the Portsea Island Union, 'that Williams died of neglect while en board of the Himalaya' is entirely incorrect." A letter was also read from Mr. W. J. Cooper, the coroner, in which he explained the motives which had induced him to decline to hold the inquest. Mr. Cooper stated that he thought it unnecessary to have an inquiry in the absence of evidence to sustain the shadow of a doubt that the death of Williams had arisen from disease engendered by exposure to the morbific influence of climate. " If," said Mr. Cooper, "I had held an in quest on the body of Williams, I must, in consistency, do so on the bodies of all the invalided soldiers of the Himalaya, who may die within my jurisdiction." Mr. Howell said, he was not satisfied with the answer of the coroner, and he had therefore a resolution on the subject to submit. No one could deny that all the officers of the union who had had to do with the case, including the relieving officer, the governor, and the medical officer, bad done their duty. He was per fectly sure of this ; the public, however, were not satis fied as to the way the case stood at present, and a very strong opinion bad been expressed in this borough. Re ferring to the way in which the man Williams had been carried from place to place, and the refusal of the Sailors' Home to receive him, Mr. Howell observed that he should naturally have expected that a committee of gentlemen who managed a sailors' home, would have been in waiting at the dockyard to receive and take care of invalids, in place of denying admittance to one who was taken to their very doors. Mr. Howell concluded by moving the following resolution : "That this board having maturely considered the reply of Mr. William Cooper, the coroner of this borough, in reference to his not holding an inquest on the body of John Williams, a seaman, who was landed from the Himalaya, and who, in the recorded opinion of the me dical officer of the board, died from exhaustion and ne glect on his passage in that vessel from the Black Sea ; resolve, that in the opinion of this board the said coro ner of this borough ought to have held an inquest on the body of the said John Williams, which they regret was not done, to satisfy the public mind." Mr. Dome seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Levy) considered the reso lution a very mild one, and one for which he was quite prepared to vote. He did not, however, agree in all that had been said by Mr. Howell. It was in the dockyard where the first lapse had taken place : the man had come home in one of her Ma jesty's ships ; the Government thought proper to take charge of the invalid sailors and soldiers, and yet the parties present in berilMajesty's dockyard had left this unfortunate creature without attending to his case ; it was the officials at the dockyard who were to blame more than any other party. Now, was it right, he asked, on the part of the Government officials to suffer John Williams, a shipwrecked sailor, who had come home and landed in her Majesty's dockyard, to lie in the docleyarl, so 10ne. 3 suffering under piles, because that was the complaint un der which he was suffering ? The poor fellow had first of all been taken to the Military Hospital, and there he was refused admission because he 'lid not belong to her Majesty's service ; he was then conveyed to the Sailors' Home —a home for sailors with money in their pockets—and bad he bad money in his pocket he would have been received ; then he was taken to the local hospital, and there he was refused admission because be had no order. (Cry of " Shame.") Sir R. F. JOLLIFFE regretted that any misunderstand ing should have occurred with the coroner, and was of opinion that it would be proved the' man bad not been neglected in the Himalaya.; the neglect had been in the dockyard and in the wan being hawked about. (Hear.) It was a great shanle that a hospital (the local) to which they ail subscribed should have acted as they had done in this case, It was most disgraceful that the man should have been brought to their gates and then turned adrift. (Fleas, hear.) Mr. PALMER defended the medical officer of the union house. He had no doubt that before their medical offi cer had made such a statement as to the man's treatment on board of the Hima l aya he had some foundation for it. (Hear.) Mr. ITAXNAM said he should vote for Mr. Howell's motion ; the man had been treated most cruelly by the Ho Governmen t m Home , at the authorit ies , Military ostatphiegl, antlaem lastly at Hospital (the local hospital, styled " The Roy al Ports mouth, Portsea, and Gosport Hospital"). The motion was then unanimously agreed to. h t e h e S ai lor ' s Royal Mr. HowELL then moved— " That a copy of the foregoing resolution be sent to the Secretary of State for the Nome Department, and also to the town-clerk of this borough, to be by him laid before the town-council." The resolution was rgreed to unanimously. The board then discussed what ought to be done in reference to the letter from the surgeon of the Himalaya. Mr. PALMER moved that a copy of that letter be for warded to Mr. Bull, the medical officer of the union house, and that he be requested to report to the guar dians thereon. He thought Mr. Bull must have had good grounds for what he had stated in his certificate, and that it was but right to givo him an opportunity of justifying himself. (Hear.) The motion was unanimously agreed to. THE GEE,IT NOI?THERN PIG AND POULTRY SHOW. The third annual exhibition of the Great Northern. Pig and Poultry Association, open to all England, took place at Doncaster on Wednesday and Thursday (yester day). The principal features of the poultry department were the game, the Spanish, and the coloured Dorking classes. The game birds were allowed to be the finest collection of that variety of fowls ever shown. The' strongest competition was in the classes of black-breasted and other reds, of which there were 90 pens against 61. last year. Mr. Mellowes, of Carbaston, near Worksop, obtained the first prize for the birds above one year old p Mr. Frith, of Tarne-wood, Anston, the second prize ; Mr. Mellowes the first prize for the chickens of the same variety ; and Mr. Chaloner, of Steetly, near Work sop, the second prize. It may be remarked that the game fowl is a farcurite breed in North Notts. The classes of Spanish were well filled, and comprised some remarkable e ftquohuure arlif owlscitfygict kaoandi.nacis specimens. n ceks e Tnnsths. producedhe we c T aeofir l l e smuto fi rbae r oti fta t Dn a wee n oothi c ir i ktc s behi e yns e tg o w,Ds n ae d rwss. p p ecer r ac i er z i are Pierson,oil selfydb fine for by Mr. James Brown, of Rossington-hall, near Don caster, and the second by Mr. Edward Akroyd, Den ton-park, Otley.

The Shanghai or Cochin -China classes showed a marked falling off in numb ers, ns compared with the exhibition of last year, an d no visible improvement in quality. The first prize for cinnamon and buff variety was won by Mr. Staley, North Collingham, near Newark. The first prize for chickens of the same breed was awarded to Mr. G. Hustler, Appleton, Tadcaster ; and the second to Mr. J. H. Smith, Skelton-grange, York shire. There was au excellent show of all the varieties of Hamburg fowls, which appear fully to maintain their ground in the public estimation. Poland fowls were brought forward in diminished numbers, and, as a fancy breed, evidently do not increase in popularity. 'There was a pretty good show of pigeons and rabbits. Turkeys, geese, and ducks were but scantily represented, owing, most likely, to the lateness of the season. The same remark also applies to the show of pigs, which, how ever, included some splendid specimens of the porcine species. The prize fat pig of a small breed, exhibited by Mr. Godfrey, of Thorne, excited unqualified admiration.
