It is, therefore, no matter of s prise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a tn most dexterous and skilful manipulator with urethral instruments ; and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert that the introduction of instrum ents through a stricture which had previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult i n t he whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of gratification on Mr. Courtenay's part, to have achieved the reputation he has in this respect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture of the urethra."—Medical Circular.

The strongest, best, and cheapest safeguards in the world against Fire, Robbery, or violence. The late fearful explosion and wide-sprea 1 devastating Fire at Gateshead and Newcastle destroyed property of the value of one million, converting a large area of warehouses (tilled with sulphur, nitrate of soda, pest charcoal, and other highly combustible stores), whole stacks of offices, houses, &c., into a perfect volcano of fierce, concentrated, incinerating, and long-enduring furnace heat, in which not only combustible things, but even bricks, stones, and iron we burnt up and fused. Safes of the ordinary kind, iron-doored strong rooms, were alike melted, torn asunder, their contents charred and destroed. But amongst the many instances of preservation, Thomas Milner y and Son have pleasure in giving publicity to the following gratifying testimonial:— " Newcastle-up m-Tyne, Oct. 19, 1854. " Gentlemen,—We have great pleasure in stating that, whilst our offices were completely destroyed and burnt down in the great fire which, on the 6threduced a great many buildings in Newcastle upon-Tyne and Gateshead to ashes, two of your large Holdfase Safes, in our offices, have been the means of preserving our books, bills, and other valuable documents, although these safes were ex posed for about nine to ten hours to an immense heat, and dug out of the ruins in a red-hot state. On opening them we found our princi pal books and bills in a good state of preservation. Some of the papers were singed and discoloured, but we are happy to say they can be used for the main purpose they were intended for. We feel it our duty to state these facts, and will thank you to make us new safes to specification.—We are, gentlemen, yours truly, "A. LEiDDAtANN AND Co. " Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son."

The Moniteur publishes the following despatch from Vice-Admiral Bruat, the Commander-in-Chief of the French squadron in the Black Sea, to the Minister of Marine and the Colonies : " ON BOARD THE MONTEBELLO, BEFORE KERTCH, MAY 26. "Monsieur le Mimstre,—As I had the honour to inform you by my telegraphic despatches of the 22d and 25th of May, a new expedition to Kertch was resolved upon on the 20th. " The embarkation commenced on the evening of the 21st, the expedition sailed on the 23d, it lauded on the 24th at Kamiesh-Bournou, and on the 25th occupied Yenikale, havinc , passed Kertch, and taken possession of the batteries il situated in the vicinity of Ak-Bournou. " On the 25th Admiral Lyons and myself entered the Sea of Azoff, whence we sent a squadron to Berdiansk and Arabat. It left during the night, and consisted of four French steamers, and 10 English steamers, some of which are gun-boats. " The complete success of this expedition, where our troops, led with great decision by General Autemarre, displayed their usual ardour, is also due to the rapidity of its execution. In this re spect I must acquaint your Excellency how com plete and cordial, under all circumstances, the co operation of Admiral Lyons has been. " On the very day we cast anchor the landing of the French troops commenced in order under the direction of Captain Jurien de la Graviere, of the navy. the chief of my staff. "Having assured myself of the promptitude with which the landing of the troops was being effected, I hoisted my flag on board the Laplace and pro ceeded to reconnoitre the batteries of Cape Ak- Bournou the powder magazine of which the Rus sians had already blown up. Perceiving they would be turned, the enemy lost no time in blowing up the others and evacuating their positions. " Shortly afterwards an English gun-boat, of a light draught of water, made for Yenikale, to cut out a Russian steamer which had left Kertch, and was trying to gain the Sea of Azoff. A sharp en counter soon commenced between the two vessels, in which the batteries of Yenikale took part. I ordered the Fulton to hasten to the aid of the gun-boat, which arrived with all speed at the scene of com bat, and had to withstand a very heavy fire. I or dered the Megere to support her, and Admiral Lyons on his part also ordered succour to be given to the gun-boat. Nevertheless, the enemy's steamer, which we knew had the treasury of Kertch on board, escaped, leaving in our hands two barges containing precious objects and a por tion of the military and civil archives. But the confusion of the Russians, a ttacked unexpectedly by land and sea, became so great that they soon relinquished all thoughts of further resistance, and did not even take care to remove the wounded from Sebastopol who were in the hospital of the citadel. In the course of the day they had set fire to considerable storehouses theypossessed at Kertch. Finally, before evacuating Yenikale, they blew up a powder magazine, containing about 30,000 kilo grammes of powder ; the shock was so great that many houses were destroyed, and vessels anchored ten miles out at sea felt it severely. . " To sum up, the enemy has lost up to the pre- " 160,000 sacks of oats. " 360,000 sacks of corn. " 100,000 sacks of flour. " A carriage factory and a foundry were burnt down ; three steamers, one of which was a war steamer, was sunk by the Russians themselves. Some 30 transport ships were destroyed, and at least as many taken. In the different explosions about 100,000 kilogrammes of powder were de stroyed. A great store of shells and cannon-balls no longer exists. "I shall send your Excellency later a statement of the condition of the guns which have fallen into our hands. They are 60 or 80 in number. These guns are highly finished, and of large calibre.— I am, &c., " BRITAT, Vice• Admiral, Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean Squadron." THE ACTIONS OF THE 22D AND 23D MAY. The Moniteur also publishes the following de spatch from General Pelissier to the Minister of War. It is an account of the actions on the nights of the 22d and 23d of May : " HEAD-QITARTERS, BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, May 26. "Monsieur le Marechal,—Since the storming of the Russian counter-approaches in front of the Central Bastion, on the night of the 2d of May, and the occupation of that important work by our troops, the enemy, to impede our progress and take our attacks in flank, turned their attention to the Quarantine side, and erected there new lines of counter-approach. They formed the plan of con necting by a gabionnade the ambuscades at the ex tremity of the bay, those of the cemetery, and to connect the work by a continuous covered way with the right lunette of the Central Bastion. In the night between the 21st and 22d, by an enormous effort of labour, skilfully concealed, they commenced laying out that vast place d'armes, so threatening for our left attack, and so contenient for enabling the enemy to assemble large bodies of men and make considerable sorties. " The danger of this Russian work was evident. I saw at once its extent, and ordered General De Salies, commander of the First Corps, to carry that position, and turn the enemy's new works against themselves—a delicate and difficult operation, as a strong resistance and obstinate struggle might be counted, upon under the fire of formidable batteries. " The General of Division Pate was charged with the operation. Two attacks were organised,—one on the ambuscades at the bottom of the bay ; the other on the ambUscades of the cemetery by the south-east angle of that enclosure ; they w ere to be simultaneous. "After having carried tho new gabionnades of the enemy, the object was to maintain ourselves in advance with sufficient solidity to protect the work and to transform the Russian work to our own use. But the development of the lines was immense ; two successive phases were to be expected in the action, —one of battle and one of labour. The combat took place on the night between the 22d and 23d of May ; it commenced at 9 o'clock in the evening. "Our left attack was led by General of Brigade Beuret, and consisted of three companies of the 10th battalion of Chasseurs-a-pied, three battalions of the 2d Regiment of the Foreign Legion, and one battalion of the 98th of the Line. "The right attack, intrusted to General de la Motterouge, consisted of picked companies of the Ist Regiment of the Forego Legion, supported by 2 battalions of the 28th of the Line, with a battalion of the 18th and two battalions of Voltigeurs of the Garde as reserve. Other battalions were ready to march, in case General Pate should need reinforce ments. " The enemy, whether they had determined on a great attack, or with the intention of completing their lines in one night by a great effort, and co vering their work by a vigorous demonstration and an effectual protection against our attacks, were there in great force to receive us. We estimated at more than 20 battalions the force of the enemy our brave soldiers had to attack and to defeat. According to prisoners there were 26 battalions. " The action commenced, on a signal given by General Pate, with inexpressible impetuosity. In a few minutes all the ambuscades on our right were in our hands. The veterans of the Foreign Legion had carried everything before them, and, supported by the 28th of the Line, they established them selves in front of the Russian works, covering our workmen. But formidable masses of Russians soon issued from the Quarantine ravine, joined in the combat, and disputed the ground with an extraor dinary obstinacy. The two battalions of the 28th, the battalion of the 18th, and the Voltigeurs of the Garde, were successively engaged, and this heroic struggle lasted till daybreak. Five times the most distant ambuscades were taken and retaken by the Russians and our troops. These bayonet melees were terrible. Two other battalions of Voltigeurs of the Garde, the 9th Chasseurs - b.-pied, and the Bth of the Line were called to the battle-ground —some to fight, some to carry off the killed and wounded ; all did their duty. "In the midst of this sanguinary and glorious struggle it was impossible for the engineers to work. We were obliged to destroy the enemy's works, so as to prevent them holding them themselves, and we were compelled to adjourn the second act of our enterprise to the following night. As th e dawn broke the Russians had ceased fighting, and our battalions [returned to the trenches, leaving the ground covered with the enemy's slain. " On the left attack the ambuscades were carried with the same impetuosity. There, also, the Rus sians returned to the charge with extraordinary tenacity. Numerous assaults were made at the point of the bayonet; but after two hours the one- my, discouraged, beat a retreat, and our engineers installed themselves solidly in the Russian gabion nade, which became definitively our conquest. " On the following night it was necessary to com plete what we had so vigorously commenced ; I ordered a second attack,, expecting full success from this new effort of our brave infantry. " General of Division Levaillant was intrusted with the accomplishment of this task, with 10 bat talions, of which two of the Voltigeurs of the Garde acted as a reserve. "Four of these battalions, under the orders of General Couston, were charged to cover our con quest of the preceding night on the extreme left. The six others, commanded by General Duval, were to retake on the right the gabionnade running parallel with the great wall of the cemetery, to heat the enemy, and allow our engineers to make the works definitively our own. " The action commenced at the same hour as on the previous evening. The impetuosity of these brave battalions, belonging to the 46th, 98th, 14th, and 80th, was irresistible. The ambuscades were turned and carried ; the enemy, driven back on all sides, retreated, keeping up a skirmi thing fire, which gradually ceased. The engineers immediately set to work, despite a fire of grape and every sort of missile from the place. Colonel Guerin and Com mandant Durand de Villers conducted the works with as much intelligence as vigour. " Our success has therefore been complete. The considerable work upon which the enemy counted to arrest our attacks is in our hands; their gabions cover us ; their own ambuscades are turned against themselves. Those which we could not combine in our system have been destroyed. " These vigorous actions were not accomplished without considerable loss, and we have paid for our victory with generous blood. I await on this head the report of General De Salles. " Yesterday, upon the reiterated demand of General Osten , Sacken, a flag of truce was hoisted, and' an armistice concluded for carrying off the dead. We handed over more than 1,200 corpses to the enemy. This field 'of slaughter reminded as of our old struggles with the Russians, and, as in those memorable times, the honour of arms in these bayonet fights always remained entirely with our infantry. "According to the number of dead given up to the enemy and the results ascertained from recent affairs, we are assured that the losses of the Rus sians are at least four times our own ; they give to the engagements the proportions of a battle. These calculations are, however, under those made by prisoners and deserters. " Our artillery, under the direction of General Le Bo3uf, gave proof of extraordinary vigour and skill. It constantly swept with its fire the ravine i where the enemy assembled their reserves. Our ' projectiles did not cease to make sanguinary gaps in the Russian masses each time they mustered for a fresh attack. I cannot praise too highly the coup d'ceil and coolness of General Le Boauf. , " The service of the ambulances was admirably performed, and great praise is due to all who took part in this rough affair. I shall afterwards have the honour of making known to you the names of the brave men who distinguished themselves among the brave. The country may be justly proud of possessing such troops, and I intend shortly to re ward the most deserving. " The Commander-in-Chief, " PELISSLER." ATAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Retribution, 28, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, ing the flag of Rear-Admiral of the Blue Robert Lam bert Baynes, with his entire squadron, left the Nore yesterday, at 6.30 a.m., for the Baltic, the gun-boats and mortar vessels preceding the squadron the day previous as reported. Lieutenant Charles E. Sidebottom, second of the Retribution, and Mr. Peter Kerr M‘Bride second class assistant engineer of the Hastin g s, being left be hind, will take passage out in the transport Jupiter, to join their ships. The Rosamond, 6, paddle-wheel steam sloop, Comman der S. S. L. Crofton, left Sheerness yesterday at 7 45 a.m., on particular service. The Black Eagle paddle-wheel steam-yacht, Master- Commander John E. Petley, arrived at Sheerness yester day at 11 45 a.m., from Woolwich. with Rear-Admiral the Hon. M. F. F. Berkeley, M.P., &c., who imme diately landed at the Admiral's Stairs, and was received by the Hon. W. Gordon, Vice-Admiral of the Blue and Commander-in-chief at the Nore. The screw steam-ship Tumbes, 4, Commander De la Haza, belonging to the Peruvian Government, arrived from London on Tuesday at Plymouth, preparatory to sailing for Callao, via Teneriffe and Rio Janeiro. She is fitted with a pair of 50-horse oscillating engines and multiplying gear, by Messrs. James Watt and Co., who also fitted the frigate Apurimac, 50, and her tender, the sloop Loa, which left Plymouth on the 21st of May for the same destination. The engines of the three ships are worked by Englishmen, and the stokers are chiefly Eng lish. It is probable that the steamers will be employed in the protection of the guano islands. The boilers of the Conqueror, 100, and Sanspareil, 71, have been placed on board those ships at Keyham, Ply mouth ; and the hired transport Shooting Star, No. 48, has been placed alongside the jetty at the Devonport dockyard, to be fitted for the conveyance of troops to the Mediterranean. Yesterday the presentation of new colours to the 51st (or King's Own Light Infantry) Regiment, now under orders for the Crimea, took place in the Regent-road Barracks, at Manchester. There was a large number of snectators—Lieut.-General Sir Harry G. W. Smith, Bart., G.C.B. (in command of the northern and midland district), General Sir Thomas Wilshire, K.C.8., the Colonel-in-Chief of the 51st Regiment ; Col. Taylor, Capt. Holdicb, and Col. Scott (officers of the staff of the northern division), and Col. Errington, the Colonel in command of the 51st, were among those present. The prayers of consecration having been read by the Rev. Mr. Nicholson (chaplain to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ire. , land), the new colours were received from Lady Willshire by Lieut. Read and Ensign Burnaby. In presenting the colours, Lady Willshire said : " Officers and soldiers of the 51st King's Own Light Infantry, as the wife of an old soldier, I feel proud of and grateful for the distinction you have this day conferred upon me by requesting that I should pre sent these new colours to this gallant regiment, of which my husband has the honour to be the colonel. May these bright banners, like those venerable ensigns they are destined to replace, ever be found foremost in the path which leads the British soldier on to glory and to victory ; and, in addition to the many records of your triumphs and successes which those ensigns dis play, may you before long, if called to join those of your comrades now fighting in the Crimea, there be enabled to reap fresh laurels in addition to those which the Slit so gloriously acquired at Minden, at many battles in theTeninsula, on the Pyrenees, and at Water loo I Gentlemen, I present to you these colours ; may God's blessing go with them and protect them ! And rest assured that, wherever they are carried, your colonel's and my prayers and best wishes will ever attend you. 51st Light Infantry." On behalf of the regiment, Colonel Errington thanked Lady Willshire for the honour she had conferred upon them ; and the soldiers were then briefly addressed by Sir T. Willshire, who expressed his gratification at making acquaintance with them on this occasion, and his confi dence that they would sustain hereafter the present well-earned reputation of the regiment. The regiment is at present about 1,300 strong, including recruits, and is expected to embark at Liverpool for Malta and the Crimea about the 20th inst. It bears upon its co lours the names of "Minden, Corunna, Salamanca, Vittoria, Pyrenees, Nivelle, Orthes, Peninsula, Water loo, and Pegu." The regiment has only been 9 months in this country, after 17 years' foreign service, in Van Diemen's Land, India, and Burmah ; and on Monday the officers and men received from Sir Harry Smith the medals to which they were entitled, commemorative of the Burmese campaign. It is believed that 500 men of the regiment will remain to form the dopot in England, while 8 companies of 100 men each wilt proceed to the seat of war. General Sir Thos. Willshire, the colonel in-chief, has seen 60 years' service, having been engaged in the West Indies in the last century, in the Peninsula, in the Walcheren expedition, and afterwards in India, where he captured the fortress of Khelat in 1839 ; and in the Kafir war in 1849. An officer and 50 men of the draught of the 72d, under orders for the Crimea, marched from Kilkenny on Wed nesday for Cork, whence they are to saiL The remainder of the draught expect to proceed by Dublin, leaving Kilkenny about the 17th inst. The Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, with the sanction of the First Lord of the Admiralty, has been pleased to appoint Commander Charles Vesey, of the Royal Navy, to be one of his extra aides-de-camp. STATE OF THE ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL. The committee reassembled yesterday in room No. 17, "to consider resolutions," and, in consequence, the public were not admitted. All the members were pre sent, and the sitting lasted from 12 till 4 o'clock. We understand that draught reports were submitted for consideration by Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Drummond, Sir John Pakington, and Lord Seymour. Upon discussion, that presented by Lor.l Seymour appoared most in har mony with the views of the majority, and the others in consequence were laid aside. The committee have not come to any final decision when they adjourned over till Friday, but it is expected that Lord Seymour's report, after it has undergone some further modifica tions, will be agreed to.

MURDER BY A SOLDIER OF THE' SLIGO RlFLES.—Satur day considerable excitement prevAiled in Sligo in conse quence of the discovery that a private of the Sligo Rifles, named William Ferns, had inflicte.l frightful injuries on the head and person of an unfortun ate girl named Anne Commons, which resulted in her death iu the County In firmary on the following Tuesday. The murder was com mitted between the hours of two or three o'clock in the afternoon, in a plantation on a. spot of rising ground which overlooks.the road at Ballytirnau, near this town. An inquest was held before A. Barrows, Es q., cforo ound ne a and W. R. Moron e y , Es q ., R.M., ,when the jury verdict amounting to wilful murder against Ferns, who has been committed for trial at the assizes. It appears than the deceased and th e prisoner, who is a native of Ballyinote, in this county, were walking in the planta tion, and a quarrel having taken place between them, the prisoner attacked the wretched girl in a savage net, and and inflicted frightful wounds upon her face and head +Frith large stones, which wore afterwards found on the spot by the po lice, covered with blood. The ap pearance of the deceased, when brought to the infirmary, was shocking in tle extreme. She was then in a dying state, perfectly unconscious, and never rallied. Ferns was, we learn, formerly an inmate of the Ballinasloe Lunatic Asylum, and it is. stated that insanity will form the ground of his defence at the assizes. It will be seen by his statement before the m ngistrates that he has him self already taken this line ao, c defence. The prisoner made a statement to the followi.v effect :—"I was irri tated because she took a stone is her band, with which s h e struck me on the finger , and a Person being out of th e ir mind when they are irritated, 0„•ey ar e worse than a t other times.

Ditto exceeding 4oz and not exceeding 8 0z....2d. Ditto ditto Boz ditto , 16 0z....4d. Ditto ditto lib. ditto 1 1b....6d. and so on, 2d. being charged for every additional half pound or any less weight. 2, The postage must be pre-paid in full by means of postage stamps affixed outside the packet or its cover. 3. Every packet must be sent either without a cover, or in a cover open at the ends or sides. 4. If the postage paid on the packet amount to as much as 4d., it may contain any number of separate books or other publications, prints, or maps, and any quantity of paper, parchment, or vellum (to the exclu sion, however, of letters, whether sealed or open) ; and the books or other publications, prints, maps, &c., may be either printed, written, or plain, or any mixture of the three. Further, all legitimate binding, mounting, or covering of a book, publication, &c. , or of a portion thereof, will be allowed, whether such binding, &c., be loose or attached, as also rollers in the case of prints or maps, markers (whether of paper or otherwise) in the case of books, and, in short, whatever is necessary for the safe transmission of literary or artistic matter, or usually appertains thereto. 5. But, if the postage paid be less than 4d., the packet must consist exclusively of printed matter, without re • striction, however, either as to number of publications or separate sheets, or as to whether they are bound or unbound. 6. A book packet, whatever may be the postage paid thereon, must not contain any letter, enclosed or open, or any enclosure sealed or otherwise closed against in spection, nor must there be any letter, or any commu nication of the nature of a letter, written or printed in any such packet or on its cover. 7.

ROWLAND HILL, Secretary, THE NEWSVENDERS AND THE REPEAL OF THE NEWS- PAPER STAMP AOT.—On Monday evening a meeting of the Booksellers' and 1\ ewsvenders' Association, of this town, was held at the Roebuck Inn, for the purpose of taking into consideration the position in which they will be placed as regards the London weekly newspapers, by the repeal of the Newspaper St am p A f t . Th e chair was occupied by Mr. Pepper, of Pitt. s t reet, t h e pres i dent of the association. Considerable disc uss i on t oo k p l ace u p on the sub ject of carriage for ne ws p a p ers , t o w hi c h th e y will be subject on the repeal of the stamp. It appears that at present the carriage they pay to the railway com pany is at the rate of fro m ld. t o 1 1d . per poun d, an d they wish to enter into an arrangement w ith th e com pany to bring down the London papers to Liverpool on the same terms as they carry luggage, so as to enable the trade to bring the papers into the market at a price by which they can realise a profit. A deputation from the trade have had an interview with the London and North-Western authorities, and the subject is to be brought before the board to-morrow evening (Thursday). At the meeting on Monday evening the trade came to the determination that, in the event of the railway com pany not complying with their terms, they will have nothing to do with the London journals, but confine their business to the sale of Liverpool newspapers. The other business of the meeting had refer en ce to pews papers and other similar publications being sold in the streets by hawkers, and the practice, as pursued by the proprietor of the Events, was warmly condemned, the meeting coming to the conclusion that it was imprope r. They were, however, of opinion that the practice wou ld find its own level, and it was left in the hands of the trade to supply the Events or not as they plea sed. Some stated that, for the present, they would continue to take it, while others declared that they would not take another copy.—Liverpool Courier. -Ge2 lei - \-z-------- .

Last night a public meeting was held at the Rose Tavern, Fulham-road, for the purpose of aiding and giving effect to the views enunciated by the Administrative Reform Associa tion recently embodied in the City, and to take into consi deration the present condition of the country; Mr. F. Lloyd, a magistrate, was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN opened the business by saying —We are met to-day to discuss no party politics or particular measures, but as an inquest upon tho departed char ac t er o f the Govern ment,' to know how, with such ample means of vitality, it has departed this life. To know how the resources for main taining strength and vigour have been misused, the money so lavishly squandered, and the disgraceful sequel arrived at. . Every Englishman of honour, and of sense of right and wrong must discuss this and will. The people were told there was no necessity for inquiry or interference into the causes of the failures of the army we sent out so completely equipped ; but, on gaining our point, every one admits misconduct of the gravest nature. Did any inquiry ever take place with so much lamentable amount cf disgrace at tached to the executive? There was abundant evidence produced that there was something grievously wrong; and it was the duty of Englishmen to see that wrong put to right without loss of time. It has been the habit of people to con sider our institutions perfect, and beyond all praise; but, when we put the great machine in motion, it falls to pieces like a rope of sand. The army was full of inefficient men, and our civil department filled with incompetent people. The spirit of England is like Gulliver pegged to the earth by the Liliputiaus. How is it that this country, with wonderful talent and marvellous extent of administrative capacity in all private affairs, is so inefficient in its public undertakings ? It is the patent power of rank irrespective of ability that be numbs society. Until we break through the spell, until we say there shall be no more shams of God's good law in the country, and his glorious purpose in bestowing talents, we shall be as we are. Mr. Carlyle lays this down clearly. He says Governments have really, to a fatal and extraordi nary extent, neglected, in late ages, to supply themselves with what intellect was going ; having, as was natural too in tho den time, taken up a notion that intellect was not necessary to them at all, but that a little of the vulpine sort, if attain able, supported by routine, red tape, traditions, and tolerable Parliamentary eloquence on occasion, would very well suffice. A most false and impious notion, leading to fatal lethargy ou the part of Government. Intellect has to govern the world, and will do it in the end, as sure as laws of nature are tougher than red tape." Now, this is the doctrine upon which we must proceed to organise a system to carry it practi cally out. The remedy lies with ourselves. When the people speak out, and with an emphasis worthy a great occasion, they will always be heard. The vain discussions in Parliament on Monday, the various conflicting amendments moved, all tending to mystify the real position of affairs, suggest the exclamation of Puff, in the play of The Critic, " There's a situation for you!" when he has his characters in a dead lock. Don Whiskerandos, in love with Tilburina, is attacked by the nieces of Sir Walter Raleigh and Sir Christopher Hatton, all inflamed by jealousy ; and while he with two daggers keeps them at bay, Sir Walter and Sir Christopher rush into the fray. The stage directions are analogous to the notice-book of orders of the day in the House of Commons on Monday. They are—" The two nieces draw their daggers to strike Whiskerandos ; and the two uncles at the instant, with their two swords drawn, catch their two nieces' arms, and turn the points of their swords to Whiskerandos, who immediately draws two daggers, and holds them at the two nieces' bosoms." Now Lord Palmerston appears to me to have, like Mr. Puff, his characters at a dead lock, and can exclaim with him, " What a situation l" " You see the ladies cannot stab Whiskerandos; he must not strike them for fear of their uncle ; their uncle must not kill him beeause of their nieces. I have them all in a dead lock, every one is afraid to let go first." When Mr. Sneer very properly observes, " then they must remain at a standstill for ever," the author says, " Aye, but mark, I send to their relief a tall Beef-Eater, who, entering halberd in hand, charges them all in the Queen's name to drop their weapons." Where's the Beef Eater-who will come on the stage now and charge our mummers and mountebanks, in the name.of the Queen, or in that of her people, to leave off fooling and humbug, and address themselves to the real busi ness of thrusting at the enemy, instead of splitting straws amonst each other as to how they should carry on the con test in the way most agreeable to his feelings, Where is the beef-eater who will knock such nonsense on the head, and com pel those who talk in the people's name to act in the people's name, and as the people wish ? We are all at a standstill ; every one is waiting until somebody else does something. In Parliament, in the Cabinet and out of it,- all the same. Does not this wretched state of legislation call our attention to the way in which the legislators themselves are appointed I They themselves hoist the banner of Electoral Reform. That is a question that must soon be reopened. Not a year since wo we expressed our opinion in our vestry hall in favour of the Ministerial proposal to alter and amend the repres citation of the country; and we unanimously pronounced a condemna tion of the system that prevents a district like this from being directly represented in Parliament, whilst Tamworth, Totnes, Barnstaple, and a score inconsiderable places, with not a tenth of its population, return each two members I Henceforth this is deprived of its party character. Every man in the country is conscious of its necessity, whether ho admit it or not. Where there is abuse, says Burke, there ought b 3 clamour, because it is better that our slumbers should be broken by the fire-bell than we should perish iu the flames. The Adminis trative Reform Association calls for our opinion. See what public opinion effects. If it does not bring conviction, it in• timidates and reforms. Lord Goderich goes to his Hudders field constituents us an administrative reformer l The electors of Bath returned Mr. Tite on Monday last, simply because they believed him earnest in effecting as far as in him lay ad ministrative reform. Men of talk will become men of action ; those who speak for the people must act for the people. I hail Mr. Tito's election as an earnest for the success of the Administrative Reform Society. He is a good practical man of business, has made his fortune by sheer hard work and distinguished talent in the most useful of all professions in re lation to the development of the resources of awcal thy cultivated people—architecture. It would be the object of the society to encourage the pretensions of candidates such as he, Sir Joseph Paxton, Robert Stephenson, Sir Morton Pete, Mr. Bell, Mr. Jackson, Alexander Cubitt, Mr. Masterman, Mr. Gui;ney, and Mr. Lindsay. AsMr. Muntz, the strong-headed, plain-spoken member for Birmingham, said the other day, the men who enter Parliament with university reputations as double first-class-men turn out to be, in many cases, double first ass-men. Tho awful calamities of the Crimea have served as a touchstone by which the value of regulation statesmanship has been tested. The official hierarchy has been convicted of ignorance and mismanagement on points which fall within the ordinary business of most private men. The magistrates of every town are able to detect the blun ders of the Home-office; city men see through the flimsiness of finance, and shopkeepers have plenty to amuse themselves at the expense of " my lords" of the Board of Trade. The pa tentees of great offices may rest assured that. a few conces sions will not satisfy. Their patent has run out, expired. It shall not be renewed if we are true to the cause in which we have met. We must discard all mere word-catching as to the origin of the war or the late negotiations at Vienna. Wes tern and Eastern Europe have placed themselves in a hostile attitude towards each other, and the arbitrement of war is now to decide the question that has been foreseen by every states man from the beginning of this century. We do not meet to day to analyse the morality of the war ; but being in it, so bear ourselves that we may end it with credit. We determine that the operative administration responsible for its conduct shall be done by operatives, and that we shall be as careful to let none but " skilled labour" undertake labour of skill. The virtual repudiation by Russia of the third point in the negotiations, and the gross and deliberate act of bad faith, of which by that repudiation she stands convicted, seems fairly to re-open the question, not only of its construction, but of the expediency and obligation of all the four points. Under these circumstances it becomes us to consider whether we ought not to declare at once that we feel ourselves no longer bound by these stipulations to an adversary so reckless and grasping; and whether Parliament should not do wisely to declare that, for the future, we will abstain from laying down, during the war, the terms upon which we shall be willing to conclude peace—terms which can only bind our selves, but which will be set at naught by our enemies when ever it shall suit their purpose. Thus, by the failure of the Vienna Conference, the whole question of our war policy is re-opened. The precipitate retreat of the Russians, both at Kertch and on the Tchernaya, indicates that the soldiery aro disheartened, and the resources of the Czar nearly exhausted, and it would be false generosity to spare a government which has for more than five hundred years been plundering all its neighbours. The object of the war was to give security to Turkey, and through Turkey to Europe. If its progress opens up means more efficacious than were at first contem plated, it is the duty of the allies to adopt them. The Crimea ought not to be restored to h er . It i s f or the Poles and tho inhabi▪ tants of Southern Russia to determine in what relation they are henceforth to stand to the Muscovite Government. 1 Vhen any private individual disturb s hi s ne i g hb our, b y bring ing an action against him that has no foundation in justice, the courts of law decree that ho shall pay the costs of both parties. Wars are the litigation of nations. Russia has been carrying on a scandalously unjust suit, and ought in every princi▪ ple of justice to be amerced in costs. Russia ought to pay every expense she has obliged the allies to bear, at the least. For the loss of life, misery, anxiety, and financial difficulty she has plunged millions of peaceable people into, Russia ought to pay heavy damages ; the heaviest man can calculate would be far short of the penalty that country ought to be made to pay. We ought to depose the Czar of Russia from the provinces his father, and grandfather, and great grandfather fraudulently and by force obtained . from other people ; we want a strong administration to do this. I believe Lord Palmerston is the man to do it, properly supported by worthy and determined colleagues, resolved not to make peace until it can be secured upon a basis likely to last. A vulgar clamour is raised against Lord Palmerston, but no one can deny that since he has been Prem ier great impulse has been given to every branch of the service. Ho will be glad to be supported by public opinion, whic hl is,ll b° happy to hear as Lord Lansdowne th e subject. the views of every gentleman on says, omnipotent in this country. Dr. TRUMAN moved a resolution pledging the meeting to support the resolutions carried at the meeting of merchants, bankers, &c., in the City. The resolution was seconded by Mr. HOGG. Mr. LENO, a Chartist, moved an amendment, which was seconded by Mr. FiNi t e.N. The original resolution was carried by a large majority. Mr. DIGBY SEYMOUR, the Recorder of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, next moved a resolution to the effect that the executive was merely the delegated instrument of the people's will to origi nate and carry out such measures as would prove advantageous to the country, and that the invariable selection from the aristocracy, including both Whigs and Tories, i tended to de prive the nation of the assistance of able men n the manage ment of its affairs. The resolution was carried. The Rev. Dr. Wilson, Dean of the College of Preceptors, and other gentlemen, addressed tho meeting, which did not conclude until a late hour. ing. The Earl of Clarendon, Lord Panmure, Viscount Palmerston, and Ei.rl Granville had audience of the Queen.

THE NATIONAL SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING THE EEITCA TION OF THE POOR.—The annual general meet ing o f this society was held yesterday in the Central School rooms, Westminster. The Archbishop of Canterbury presided. The general attendance was small. From the report it appeared that the number of schools united to the society during the past year has been 234, making the total number 10,436. 900 competent masters have been sent out during the year from the Westminster Training School, to take charge of sch oo l s. T he receipts in the depositary during the year 1854 amounted to 11,9701., being an incre ase o f 34 01, over those of the preceding year. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, June 6.—ln a Congregation held this day at two o'clock the statute requiring all elections, except those for members of Parliament, to take place in full term was submitted and approved. At the same time the statute allowing graduates of the University holding employments in the colonies to take higher degrees without returning to England, in which a slight alteration has been made by the Council, was promulgated afresh. On this no discussion took place. The Fee Statute was then promulgated for the second time. The Warden of Merton (Dr. Marsham) rose and proposed an amendment to the effect, " That the annual payment made by all members of the University to the Bodleian Library should be discontinued." He thought a substitute might be found by taking in lieu of this pay ment a portion of the annual profits of the press. Mr. Rogers, of Magdalen Hall, regretted that - no attention . . had been paid - to the amendments which he had sug gested for the purpose of lightening the burdens of non residents. As a statute for the benefit of persons re siding abroad bad just been received with favour, he would propose that members of congregation resident abroad should be excused the annual payment. The prin cipal of Brasenose (Dr. Cradock) remarked on the non adoption of the amendment which he had proposed at the former promulgation. He should not again propose it, but he should feel it his duty to offer all legitimate opposition to the passing of the statute in its present shape. Mr. Gurdon, of Christ Church, agreed with some of the suggestions which had been made with regard to lightening the burdens of non-residents : ___ He thought that they could not fairly be callei upon for contributions towards the paving and lighting of the town. Dr. Pusey expressed his re gret that some additional relief had not been granted to poor members of the University. As a scale of fees ac cording to rank bad been maintained for matriculation, he thought some similar difference in the fees upon de grees might have been kept. He thought it would be very unwise to stint the Bodleian Library. Mr. Mar riott, of Oriel, agreed in the spirit of many of the pro positions made, especially with regard to the relief of poor students ; hut thought the present statute should be accepted as a fair instalment of reform in the matter. He did not look upon it as final, or deny that, when the University could see its way clear, another revision might be desirable. The Master of Pem broke defended the Council from the charge of neg lecting the amendments laid before it, and spoke gene rally in favour of the statute on the points which had been attacked. Ho thought non-residents were not un fairly taxed ; they were interested in the general welfare of the University, and so even in what had been called "local" objects. The residents were now taxed heavily, to the amount of V. a-year, for poor-rates, a burden from which non-residents were exempt. He thought it might be desirable for the University, when rich enough, to endow the Bodleian Library ; and he believed this object would one day be attained by means of the press profits; but until this could be done he thought it would be un wise to make a remission of the present payment. The Warden of Wadham, who acted as Vice-Chancellor, ob served that the press profits depended mainly on the privilege with regard to Bibles and Prayer-books possessed by the University, the tenure of which was very uncertain. The Warden of Merton and Mr. Rogers ex plained. No other member rising, the Congregation was dissolved. The Chancellor's prizes have been awarded as follows : English Essay—George Charles Brodrick, Fellow of Merton. Latin Essay—John E. White, Fellow of New College. Latin Poem—Robinson Ellis, Scholar of Balliol. The Newdigate has been gained by Mr. Edward Hay don Osborn, Bible Clerk of St. John's. Two prizes were this year assigned by the Chancellor for the most meritorious among the unsuccessful candi dates. They have been conferred on Mr. Thomas Clayton, 8.A., late scholar of Trinity, for his English essay, and on Mr. Robert Henderson, exhibitioner of University College. The Professor of Political Economy (Mr. Rickards) will deliver his second lecture on the funding system and the financial policy applicable to a state of war, on Saturday, the 9th of June, at one o'clock, at the Cla rendon. Mr. Thomas Edward Brown, 8.A., Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford, has been elected Vice-Principal of King William's College, Isle of Man. LATER DEPARTURE OF MAILS FOB INDIA, VIA MAR- SEILLES.—GENERAL POST -OFFICE, June.—The Overland Mail for the Mediterranean, India, &c., via Marseilles, will in future be made up and despatched from London on the mornings of the 10th and 26th of each month, instead of on the evenings of the 9th and 25th, as here tofore ; except when the 10th and 26th of the month fall on a Sunday, on which occasions the mails will be despatched from London on the morning of the follow ing day. SUICIDE OF A LIFE GI7AIIDSI&AN.—OR Tuesday last Henry Amory Pratt, the celebrated rough-rider in the 2d Regiment of Life Guards quartered at Windsor, blew his brains out with his carbine, half the head and the whole of the face, except the upper lip being literally blown to pieces and the skull emptied of the brain. The following are briefly the particulars of this melancholy affair, as gleaned from a coroner's inquest held at the hospital yesterday morning, before Mr. Thomas Martin, coroner for the borough of Windsor :—Joseph Symes, a private in the regiment, was going to attend a s t a bl e h parade hg he a t wanaosnoise si little en dl iu b kc e ee f d o g r e rtooa s on i x pi ne o gn ' ,c the l a 0 n C k d 8: t o o n or ne T h u loo e uo s s d ke_ a i n y dg o m oi o rn r: f i re n oa g mw , WitnessH is carbin callede, to e * ap inalliadm Gam ble, an officer's servant, w h o was . the deceased lying on the floor covered with blood, and s r the ha n d osp i :tal seagea n t.

Mr -F.

Had the piece been loaded with ball, there would have been traces of its having passed out at tie back of the head. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of "Temporary insanity." The unfortunate man was 44 years of age, and had been in Om reg.-cant about 23 years. 1
