The Sun. — London, England, 1855-01-25 00:00:00

THE SUN S LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 25, 1855. French and English had made a second reconnaissance of the enemy's position at Balaklava. I now hasten to give you the details c f that movement, which was emi nently successful. The reconnaissance, or rather the kind of attack, was made on the 30th of December. Two days previous our out pickets had observed an unusual bustle aad confusion in the enemy's quarters, which ap peared to be occupied by a much smaller body of men. On the 28th a division of infantry, with a small body of cavalry and artillery, is all about 10,000 strong, left the Russian camp, and commenced their march for the sum mit of the chain of hills near Mackenzie's Farm, where they remained. Information of the fact was forwarded to the allied general., who I believe wee@ already aware of the intention of Liprandi to abandon his position on the Tchernaya, and valley of the Inkerman. On the 29th two more bodies of the enemy's force retired i❑ the same direction as the former. Each corps d'arrizee remained upon the heights, one division near the_ruins of Inkeralan, the second about two miles apart, near the centre of the side, and the third two miles further east, close to Mackeezie's Farm. A reccommissance of their po sition with that of the strength of the force remaining upon the Tchernaya was immediately determined on, and the French cavalry at Xersonese, with 12 guns, and the Rifles, Nth Highlanders, and a regiment of Zouaves, at Balaklava, received orders to hold themselves in readi ness to march at daybreak on the following day. The Rifles, Zouaves, and Nighlanders turned out at six on the :Oth. The Zouaves advanced in the direction of the ♦illage of Damara. The Rifles and Highlanders crossed the ravine in front of the position held by the Marines on our extreme right, and occupied the steep headland■ beyond, which overlook the sea on one side, and the rear and right of the Russian camp upon the other. The post was purely a defensive one, and only intended to counteract the enemy in case of their threatening our right. As it was quite four miles from the enemies' camp, neither the Rifles nor Highlanders took any part in the actual attempt upon the Russian position. In their posts the infantry waited until the arrival of the French cavalry and artillery. The cold upon the heights was extreme, and the poor Highlanders, who had re ceived strict order■ to turn out in kilts, suffered severely during* the three hours which they were kept waiting exposed upon the cliffs to the rigour of a keen December wind. About nine o'clock the cavalry made their appear ance. Part moved to the left across the plain in the direction of the Turkish redoubts, captured on the 25th of October, while two squadrons with the Zouaves ad vanced to the right upon Kamara. The artillery re mained with the cavalry on the left, which halted under cover of the dismantled redoubts, aid remained until the Zouaves in the rear and right had scoured Kamara and the billy country beyond, so u to secure them from any enemy in that direction. At Kamara was stationed an advanced Cossack pic ,euet of about 30 or 40 men, who leaving one of their number on a dietantenainence, retired as the French ad vanced. The Zouaves occupied the village, which had been almost entirely destroyed, and carried away by the enema for building huts. The church was the only building untouched extereally. Inside the place was despoiled and stripped of everything. When we fiat came to this place, I once rode out to Kamara, in coin ' parry with Mr. Murray, of the Commissariat, and we were both struck at the extreme magnificence and beauty with which the church was then adorned inside. In that condition I know the Allies left it ; and since that time it has been in the possession of the Russians themselves, who appear to have wantonly desecrated it in every pos sible manner. The place inside is now a mass of filth— the paintings torn to shreds, and their rich frames broke* and hacked to pieces. All this has been done since the Russians " protected" the place. The Zouaves searched the village, and captured three horses, some forage, several lances and muskets, and ono Russian infantry soldier, who was cooking in the re mains of a cottage. While this was going forward, the cavalry advanced about a mile towards the Tchernaya, where some 300 or 400 Cossacks had built stables and huts for their winter quarters. The Cossacks exchanged a few shots and then retired in the same manner as from Kamara, but keeping to the south along the right bank of the Tc.hernaya, which, swollen by the heavy rains, is a wide, deep, and rapid river, not fordable in any part. The French set fire to all the huts and stables of the picquet, send continuing their career after the Cossacks, advanced to a considerable, and what certainly might have been a most imprudent, distance. They kept along the right of the Tchernaya for about three miles. The new position which the enemy took up, when Liprandi first retired from Belaklava at the beginning of Decem ber, is on the left bank of the river, and nearly in a line with the old Turkish redoubte, close to which the main body of the French cavalry remained to watch the enemy. The Zonavee having searched the country round Ka ma,ra, and convinced themselves that they had nothing to fear from that quarter, advanced towards the Tcher mart, above the place held by their cavalry, so as to check any attempt which the enemy might make to cress the river and oat off the force which had gone off apparently in pursuit of the Cossacks. Directly the Russians perceived the effects of these manoeuvres, they despatched a squadron of Hussars and Cossacks, with three guns, along the left bank, to watch the movements of the French force who were scouring on the right. Before the advance of the latter, the Cossack picquet force rapidly retreated for about three miles, when they reached the , village of Tchourgoum, a large and hand some place, formerly containing about 3,000 inhabitants. On the right of this the Cossacks halted and drew up, as if to await the attack of the French, but the object of the latter Yea. 1.0)W to eestroy the village not the Cos sacks. The enemy seemed quite awa re olthis, and were evidently determined to harass our allies if they once en tered Tchourgoum, and to secure themselves against such attempts the French formed in line and charged. They were, if anything, rather superior to the Cossacks in numbers, but the latter, on the other hand, bad the advantage of the ground. The contest was hardly of a moment's duration. The enemy wavered before our allies, charged, and after a slight show of resistance, broke and scattered in all directions. The French were close amongst them, and pursued hotly, putting all to the sword who attempted to resist. Five or six were taken prisoners, with several horses, and about fifty or sixty wee killed and wounded. The rest escaped across the stone bridge which spans the ' Tchernaya a little distance above Tchourgoum. To this, the left bank of the river, the French made no attempt to follow, but hastened to secure and destroy the village before reinforcements coild return. Tchour goum was entirely deserted by its peasant inhabitants. Only a few "Arobajees" and some 10 or 12 Russian soldiers remained there. The instant the Cossacks perceived the intentions of the French, they returned, as with the view of saving the village, but too late. The French again prepared to attack them, and after a few shots the enemy re tired. The success of this day was beyond a doubt, and great praise is due to the French for the admirable manner in which the whole thing was planned and executed. The whole loss to the French, 1 am informed, was only 4 men killed and 16 wounded, with 2 officers ; and at this slight cost they almost entirely destroyed the enemies' cantonments, burnt Tchourgoum and its stores, and de stroyed all the out picquets' quarters and stables, as well as capturing some 30 or 40 horses and 20 prisoners. The Zouaves carried in an immense quantity of planks and timber for hut-building. The Russians must in the cannonade have loss between 30 and 40 men and horses killed, and about twice as many more wounded. Ja'c, 4.—Everything still goes on slowly. All day yesterday and to-day the snow and hail has fallen inces santly. The whole surface of the ground, so far as lam able to judge by a 10 miles' ride, is a complete half frozen quagmire. Our trenches and covered ways are mere ditches, filled with ice and water to the depth of three and four feet. Last night it rained until about four in the morning, when a heavy snow sterrn succeeded, which thawed in about half-an-hour, and flooded the camp.— Menschikoff seems to have had good reason when he re lied upon his three generals, January, February, and March. Our mon would laugh at the weather if they were only hutted; but under tents and only clad in their great coats, they suffer severely. The 30th, which arrived in the Jason three days since, have not yet landed. P.S. Four o'clock.—lt is still snowing. The ground is covered to the depth of half a foot. News has reached here that the vessel containing 10,000 fur coats for the troops has been burnt at Con stantinople. Only nine bales of coats were saved. Plea sant news ! Yesterday evening a strong force of Cossacks returned to their old stations outside Balaklava. Some picquets approached within 1,200 yards of the Rifle camp, so that our riflemen were taking " pot " shots at them all day. Last night also the Russians made a sortie from the Garden Battery upon the French lines. It was an ordinary affair and repulsed, but I have not yet been able to ascertain the particulars. One thing, however, is evident to all, that as the severity of the weather in creases the enemy becomes bolder in proportion each day. The men, lam sorry to say, just now appear to be mush disheartened, not at the enemy, for they are more determined in their hostility towards them, but at the prospect of enduring such a winter with so little to protect them against its inclemency. JAR. 5.—A1l last night the cold was intense, the thermometer standing at 14 below freezing point. Two officers in the 97th (I believe) were unfortunately ■nffocated by using charcoal stoves in tents which were tightly closed. An officer in another regiment most narrowly escaped the same fate. Upwards of 100 horses, I am informed, also perished, and many of the sentries and out picquets were discovered during the night per fectly numbed. Major-Geaeral Pennofather leaves here to-day in the Harpy. The Leonard screw steam-frigate has arrived from England. She goes to Varna in a day or two, with the Inflexible, for Turkish troops. All kinds of fresh provisions still continue to sell at the most exorbitant prices. Iron saucepans, stoves, and general canteen utensils, are in great request, and fetch any sums when they are to be had, which is seldom. Warm clothing or fresh provisions of any kind sell for about their weight in silver. JAN. 6.—The cold is still most severe, and if wo may judge from the northerly wind and clear bright atmos phere, there is every prospect of its being permanent for some days at least. Yesterday I was at Balaklava ' • all the ships ara covered with snow an d l ong i c i cles, and the hills which enclose the bay look like gigantic ice bergs. Altogether, it gives Of tolerable idea of the Arctic regions. I have no news of interest to add to my letter of yes terday. Everything remains as if frozen into a stern tranquillity. Nearly 1000 men have beau sent in for invaliding during the last two or three days. Captain Swinton, of the Royal Artillery, was one of the officers suffocated by the fames of charcoal ; only one office r o f the 97th died from the same cause, and not two, as I w as at fi rst l ed to believe, LAW INTELLIGENCE—Jan. 24. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings in Banco) MARTIN V. MESON-COCK-TIGHTING. In this case the action was for money had and re ceived. The defendant pleaded that the money was de posited in his hands by the plaintiff, 8.9 his stake on a wager upon a cock-fight. The plaintiff demurred to this plea, and replied that he had demanded his stake back again before the event contemplated had come off. To this replication the defendant demurred. Mr. Milward now appeared on behalf of the plaintiff, and argued that the plea was bad, inasmuch as it- did not show that the event had been decided, and that the replication was a good answer to the plea, even though that plea were bad. He was further prepared to con tend, should it become necessary, that cock-fighting was not illegal. Mr. Baron Alderson—l suppose you would say that cock-fighting was not illegal where the cocks " volun teered," which probably you would say they did, seeing that they wore only put down, and then left to do as they please. (Laughter.) Mr. Gray, on behalf of the defendant, contended that no doubt could exist as to cock-fighting being illegal. He submitted, too, that the plea in its present form was a good plea. Mr. Milward replied, and . . . The court, in giving judgment, said that the plea was mouifestly bad, inasmuch as it had not shown that which was afterwards cleared up by tie replication— samely, that the event contemplated had not come off. Until the time when the event did come off it was per fectly clear that the wagerer had a right to recall his stakes, and it was no answer for the stakeholder to say that cock-fighting was an illegal act. The plaintiff had a right to relent, and at the same time to re cover back his stakes. Judgment must therefore be for the plaintiff. the breast part of his coat with both his hands, shook him so violently as to tear a button off. Skinner then offered to go quietly to the station-house, but notwith standing they were arm-in-arm and going on before him, he kept shoving them along with violence, and at the station-house he gave a charge against them of being drunk and creating a disturbance. That charge was at once taken and they were locked up. Amongst the witnesses called were two most respect able persons, who were strangers to all the parties, and who happened to be accidentally present, and both represented the conduct of the constable Peg,ram es most uncalled for, violent, and highly improper. Mr. Elliot having heard the various witnesses, as well as Mr. Solomon, for the defence, remarked that the de fendant had received a twelve years' excellent character, and it was painful to him to be obliged to punish one who had borne a good character so long. He, however, felt bound to do so. Tbere was no valid excuse for lock ing up Skinner, the postman, aid he (Mr. Elliott) doubted very much indeed whether there was any for locking up his wife, and the manner in which the act had been endeavoured to be justified by that which must appear to all who had heard it to be scandalous perjury, wag the very worst part of the case. Looking at the whole of the policeman's conduct, and which was much aggravated by the manner in which it was endeavoured to be justified, ho must convict him in a i p m e p n r a i l s t o y nm of en 2 t. /., or in default of payment to 20 days' Schallehn, it is among the principle attractions of the place, especially to the season-ticket holders, any dimi nution of its force is likely to be accompanied by a more than proportionate falling off in the permanent receipts. As respects the funds yet to be raised for the entire completion of the undertaking, it is announced that the 300,0001. mentioned at the meeting in July as the re quisite sum, in addition to the 1,000,0001. of share capital, will not be exceeded. Of this 61,5501. has already been obtained by the issue of debentures, and 60,0001.. more is expected from the same source. To supply such of the remainder as is absolutely necessary, a preference stock of 150,0001., at 7 per cent., in 51. shares, is proposed to be offered pro rats among the existing proprietors.

In yesterday's paper it was stated that the Times is now at length making' the discovery that there are other ways besides the isthmus of Perekop for getting fro m Southern Russia into the Crimea, and that, conse quently, no very great advantage would have accrued to the allies by the possession of Perekop. This discovery furnishes a proof that not only have those who made it studied the existing maps of this part of Russia with but little attention, but also that they must have been utterly ignorant of former military events in the Crimea. As perhaps some readers of the New Prussian Gazette may he in the same state as the Times, it will not be out of placetto give here a short account of Russian operations against the Crimea in the course of the last century. In the year 1736 Field Marshal Meunaich, after encountering the severest privations, crossed the Taurian steppe at the head of 70,000 men, and came as far as the lines of Perekop, behind which the Khan of Tartary awaited him. The Russians, by means of a false attack, gained the position, forced their way into the Crimea as far as the Taurian chain of hills, and then returned through Perekop, fearing lest the Tartars, according to their system of tactics, should cut off their retreat. In 1737, after General Lacy had superseded Field-Marshal Meunnich in the command, the Khan again waited fir the Russians near Perekop. The Russian general, however, had a bridge thrown across the narrow strait of Genitschi to the east of Perekop, and which sepa rates the Sea of Azoff from the Sivash. He then crossed with his army over to the narrow strip of land called Zieniska, and thus turned the positi on near P ere k op . On marching further along this tongue of land General Lacy learned that a part of the Tartar force had hastened to Arabat, in order to oppose the further progress of the Russians at that point where the neck of land branches off. On account of the confined nature of the ground nearArabat, the Russian general could not expect to over come the difficulties he had to contend with ; he accord ingly caused the Sivash to be explored, and found in this bay a piece of water so shallow, that by means of casks and stakes he was able to make a sort of floating bridge to the opposite Crimean coast. While the cavalry were wading or swimming through the Sivash, General Lacy advanced in this manner from the isthmus of Zieniska into the Crimea, ravaged the whole coun try, and then returned to the main land, near the end of Tchongar, a tongue of land on the north coast towards the Crimea, between Perekop and Genitschi. In 1738 the Khan did not occupy merely the lines of Perekop, but also the point opposite Tchongar, and another point over against Genitschi. Then it was that Gene ral Lacy heard of a ford between Perekop aid the tongue of Tchongar, and which was almost dry dur ing the prevalence of a westerly wind. As soon as it began to blow from that quarter, the Russian army com menced instantly its march, and reached the Crimea with nearly dry feet. From that moment the peninsula was exposed to constant inroads from the Russians, until at the peace of 1785 it remained in their possession. From those facts it will be evident that blocking up the Isthmus of Perekop would not prevent the entrance of the Russians by some other route ; the less so indeed, since the latter possess the fortified town of Arabat, which closes the Isthmus of Zieniska, and consequently prevents their opponents from stationing themselves op posite Genitschi. We also see that the occupation of Perekop would in no wise cut of the retreat of the Rus sians from the Crimea, so long as Arabat remains in their possession. TEE LATE FATAL CALAMITY IN ST. JAMES'S PARK.— Yeeterday afternoon ➢ir. Bedford, coroner for West minster, held an inquest of nearly four hours' duration I at Westminster Hospital on the bodies of John Hutton, aged 15, John Linton, 15, George Edwards, 15, and James Brophey, 16, the four unfortunate persons who were drowned by the breaking of the ice on the orna mental water in St. James's Park on Saturday last, some particulars of which appeared in our impression of Monday. From the evidence of a great number of witnesses it appeared that four boys were sliding, when the ice broke, and all were immersed. One, how ever, got out of the water, and several persons rushed to the rescue of the others, but in the noble attempt Brophey lost his life. All the witnesses agreed that if there had been any of the Royal Hu mane Society's men or machinery on the spot at the time the boys' lives might have been saved. It further appeared, that only one man was on duty in St. James's Park, by order of the society, when the occurrence took place, and that there were no means of saving life at hand; also that, if the boys when got on: bad been taken to the tent, there way no fire or warm bath to use for their recovery. No orders had been issued for any of the Society's men to go on duty in the park that day. The jury found a verdict that the deceased per sons died from "accidental drowning ;" but the foreman added, that the jury could not separate without ex pressing in the strongest language an opinion that if there bad been more men or proper machinery at hand the lives of the youths would have been saved, and also, that if the public could not demand proper attention from the Royal Humane Society the jury would memo rialise the Woods and Forests to dose the parks. [AnvuenerntENT.]—Hollo , ,vay's Pills for the Cure of Female Complaints. —Mr. P. E. Taylor informs Profes sor Holloway in a letter dated Sept. 16, 1854, that Mrs. Sarah Carr, of Ellakes, was afflicted for a long time with swellings in the stomach (which occurred at the turn of life), giving strong indications of dropsy ; in fact, she had been frequently told that dropsy was her complaint. She was ultimately thrown on a bed of sickness, when she commenced taking Holloway's pills. After taking a few dozes she was completely cured, and now enjoys most excellent health—bettor than ever she felt before. Sold by all vendors of medicines, and at Prcfe:sor Hol loway's establishments, 244, Strand, London, and 80, Maiden-lane, New York, my giving way now, afford me facilities for bringing it forward on an early day. (Hear, hear.) Lord PALMERSTON said it was the wish and in tention of the Government that the motions should stand to-morrow night in the same order that they stood to-night. Mr. ROEBUCK said unless the house should other wise determine his motion could not take precedence of the order of the day to-morrow, and he trusted her Ma jesty's Government would consent to his motion being taken first to-morrow night. Lord PALMERSTON said the Government could have no possible objection to that, because there were no orders of the day for to-morrow. (Hear, hear.)

Oa December 20th orders were sent from Sir Colin Campbell to the 79th Regiment, aid to the four com panies of the 2d Battalion of the Rifle Brigade, com manded by Major Bradford, to be ready and under inns at half-past six o'clock next morning. It was a cold but fine day, and at dawn all the troops were drawn out, and remained on the heights above Balaklava for some timo, very curious to know what they were going to do. The demi-battalion of Zouaves encamped near the Marines were also out, and soon after 7 o'clock the advanced guard of a strong division of French troops appeared in the valley on the left, and- proceeded towards the hills lately occupied by the Russian redoubts. The French force consisted of about 8,000 men, and it was accom panied by two squadrons of cavalry. As soon as they had occupied the plain of Balaklava the Rifles and fouaves were pushed on in front, preceded by cavalry skirmishers and vedettes. Sir Colin Campbell was on the ground, with several of his staff, and, with Gen. Bosquet, whose division seemed to furnish the bulk of the troops on the field, bad the direction of the movements of the day. Several English officers accompanied the expedi tion, but it was remarked with some surprise that none of the Quartermaster-General's department were there to avail themselves of such an excellent opportunity of ex ploring the country, and of making themselves acquaintal with the roads and the position of wells, streams, and ravines. The force was all in motion before eight o'clock, the Rifles and Highlanders turning to the right, and covering the flank of the little expedition as it marched on, or beating through the - woods and ravines which abound along themountain chain on the left of the valley. As the force approached Kamera. the Cossack vedettes came in sight, retiring slowly, but the French pushed on rapidly, and the Cossacks retreated from the village, which has been in a ruinous state since the storm of the 14th of November and the first French reconnoissance. The vedettes fell back on a strong body of Lancers and light cavalry, which seemed disposed to await the shock of the French Chasseurs. The retiring and advancing cavalry, skirmishers, exchanged a few carbine shots be fore they fell in with their respective squadrons, acid when the French had arrived within about 800 yards they broke from a trot into a gallop, and dashed right at the Russian cavalry. The latter met the shock, bet made no attempt to charge upon the French, who broke them in an instant, and chased them right back to the infantry, who were assembled in three small bodies on the hills, close to the village of Tchourgenm. The Rue- Kiang cut very feebly, and fought without spirit, so that the French had only a few men wounded. One officer, however, received a severe wound from a sword-thrust through the abdomen. As the French approached Tchourgoum they were received with a brisk fire of shot anti shell frora some heavy field-pieces, to which their guns were unable to reply at so great a distance ; but they soon pushed within range of the enesnvt and the Russians again retired, and abandoned the village of Tcheurgouna to our allies, as well as the line of cantoninents and huts which they had constructed since Liprandi's advance in Octo ber. The abject of this expedition was merely to beat up the Russian position and to ascertain the strength of the enemy--it was, in fact, a reconnoissance in force, and there was no intention of bringing the Russians to an engagement. Had any such intention existed, it would have been unsuccessful, for the enemy retired with great speed, and fell back on the heights over the Tchernaya and the road to Mackenzie's farm, covered by their artillery, which was heavy as usual, and quite sufficient to crush the fire of the light French field-guns. Our Allies at once burst into the village, but the Cos sacks had hem there too long to leave anything to I plunder, and so the French set it on fire. At the same time they applied combustibles to the huts of the Rus sians, and soon the whole cantonment was in a blaze, while groat volumes of white smoke curling up into the air, and spreading in sheets along the crest of the hills, indicated the destruction of the village, and informed the Russians that they could no longer hope for snug quarters there. The huts built by the Russians were very commodious and comfortable. Each was capable of con taining 20 or 30 men, and held an oven for baking at the end, which also warmed the room. The camp, though rather dirty, was well built, and in excellent order. The object of the reconnoissance having been accomplished, the expedition was halted, and the men set to work at once to avail themselves of the abundance of wood along the hill sides, and to make enormous fires, which almost obscured the retreat of the Russians. It was ascertained that they were very weak, and that they did not number mere than i,OOO or 6,000 men. Through my glass I could see them from the hills in front of the Marine Battery, and they appeared to march in broken masses up the steep and difficult roads leading to the heights over the Tchernaya. Two strong bodies of the enemy were, however, visible on these hills, nearly oppo site to our right flank, towards Inkerman. They had a tall white flag-staff erected in front of their position, from which they hoisted one large red and one white flag, when the French were enter'ng Tchourgoutu. Towards evening they lighted their camp fires, and it was evi dent that a considerable force still remained on the hills between the Tchernaya and the Belbek. The French remained on the ground till it was almost dark, and then returssed to their camp. Tho Highlanders and Rifled, who had made a very romantic march through some beautiful valleys on the right, returned without seeing anything of the enemy, and did not fire a shot. The French lost two officers wounded (one since dead) and about 20 men put 110r3 de combat. They took 17 of the Russian cavalry and a few infantry prisoners. There is on dit that they found and released an officer of the 89th in Tchourgouni who had strayed from our lines and hal been captured by the Cossacks a day before, but I can not say if it is true. Sir (4. GREY said they were addresses to her Ma jesty, and he had received her Majesty's command to acknowledge them. The papers were ordered to lie on the table.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Taunus Driscoll was charged with hating applied for relief at the City of London Union, having at the same time in his possession sufi cleat funds to supply himself with. necescaries. The de fendant was rather wild Irish in his appearance. The policeman who took the defendant into custody said—l was on duty yesterday at the City of London Union in Northumberland-alley, when the prisoner came up to apply for relief. He wished to be assisted to go to Woolwich, and said he had walked from Newport, and being quits destitute he had been obliged to walk all night. I searched him, and found wrapped up is differ ent pieces of paper in his waistcoat pocket money to the amount of es. id., eight potatoes, and two rashers of bacon. The Lord Mayor asked whether paupers who were pro vided with the present means of support were in the habit of making applications of the kind to the retiev ing officers! The Officer—l assure your lordship that we never search one Irish applicant for relief without finding upon him from 3d. to Is., but we send them away with their money and a caution, without thinking of complaining here. This ease, however, was too glaring an instance of deception. The Lord Mayor—Well, prisoner, what have you to say in answer to this charge, that you were w e ll a bl e t o pay your expenses to Woolwich ! What right had you to apply to the relieving officer for assistance ! The defendant- —Well, your lordship, upon my sowl I don't know how in the world the money got into my pocket. (Laughter.) I know I didn't put it there my self. May be some good-hearted gentleman slipped it in without my knowledge, but God knows I am not at all obliged to him if ho did. The Lord Mayor—Then you shall go to prison for 14 days, in order that you may, in future, have it fresh in your recollection that you are not to seek relief when you have no claim whatever. The defendant—Please your honour, I know ne more about that money they found in my pocket than the babe that never will be born. Committed for 14 days. WORSHIP-STREET.— William , Sinith. was charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt with having fraudulently ob tained 101. from Ms. Edward Graham Austin. The prosecutor said—l am an undergraduate of Trinity College, Cambridge, arid came thence to London per train, about one o'clock this d a y. Th e pr i soner go t into the Fame carriage with Ile ho had with him a tra velling case. After a shoat time he opened his case and offered several of the passengers some penknives for sale. Not finding any purchasers he produced from his pocket a pack of cards, and selecting some and spread. ing tkem on the box or case, offered to lay an even wager that I could not name the position of a particular card. I thought it appeared very eas y t o d o so, an d was induced to join in the bet, which at first was for a few shillings only, but afterwards increased to a sove reign, and finally I lost 101. On our arriving at the Skoreslitch terminus I at once gave him in charge to the police for having fraudulently obtained that amount. Other persons laid similar wagers, one of whom I know lost 5/., and another, I believe, 31. I was a winner only once ; the others occasionally won, but the prisoner generally bad the best of it. My only motive in bring ing the case forward is, that it may serve as an example to others. I have read in the public papers accounts of similar practices. Mr. VEyncourt—When you made the wager were you aware that it was against a sleight-of-hand trick Prosecutor—Certainly I was. Mr. D'Eyncourt—_-ind you considered it fair Prosecutor—Well, if gambling is fair, certainly this act was fair. Ile called the trick by a French name, but I forget what. 117. D'Eyncourt (to prisoner)—Where do you live, and what are you ! Prisoner—When at home I live at 25, High-cross street, Leicester ; but when in London I put up at dif ferent coffee-house~. I was in the service of Lord Gard ner for four years as groom ; and have been groom to other noblemen. This Jast year I have been oat of em ployment. Mr. D'Eynceurt (to prosecutor)—lt is quite clear that you can recover your money again ; but there is some nicety required in dealing with such cases as these. The property found on the prizoner (121.10 z.) will be detained by tiro officer, and I shall accept his own recognisance in 201. to appear again this day week. WESTMINSTER—John flood, who was examined at this court a few days ago on a charge of parading in front of the recruiting-office, in Charles-street, with a placard stating that he had been 21 years in the military service and was discharged without a pension, was again placed in the dock. - Mr. Arnold said he found upon inquiry that the pri soner was a very bad character, and he should commit him for a month to the House of Correction for wander ing about with a view- to collect alms. By exhibiting himself in front of the recruiting depot he was deterring other; from joining the aervice, and endeavouring to bring the army into disrepute. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—dir. George Gittini, ironmonger, No. 6, Hart-street, Grosvenor-aquare, was charged with having committed a capital assault ou Ann arton, his servant, about 17 years of age. The prisoner said he was net sober at tho tune, and recollected nothing of what had occurred. Mr. Bingham said the fact of the defendant not being sober, coupled with the surgeon's evidenco, induced him to ales' with the charge as ono of common assault, and he should therefore inflict a fine of 51., or two months' imprisonment. ASSAULT BY A POLICEMAN. Yesterday week, at the Lambeth Police-court, a ietter-carrier named Skinner and his wife were charged with being drunk and dliderly, and creating a dis turbance. On the investigation of the charge the testimony of the constable did not support it, and it appeared to have originated in a snore squab ble with a cabman. The postman complained that his wife had been insulted and assaulted in the most vio lent manner by Pegram, the constable 161 L, and that they were both looked up in a cold cell, on an inclement night, and without the, slightest prospect of getting bail. His wife was kept away from her baby, who was suck ling, and he himself from his duties at the Post-office, so that his situation, which was the only thing himself and his family had to depend on, was seriously impe riled. Mr. Filiott feeling at the time that he could not allow so gross a ease to pass unpunished, directed the matter to stand over, and that each party was to come prepared with witnesses. Pegram 161 L appeared yesterday as the defendant, and bad Mr. Solomon as his legal adviser. Skinner and his wife were each examined separately, and at length, but the substance of their testimony was briefly this. On the evening of Tuesday week they, accompanied by three friends, went to the Victoria Theatre, and when the performances were over at a quarter to one o'clock, they went to a public-house to have some refreshments, and ultimately at a quar ter to three they agreed to engage a cab to take them to their residence at Chelsea. Skinner left his wife and friends at a pie shop in the Westminster-road, while he went to the cab stand in the Palace New-road to hire a cab. He made terms with one of the drivers to take his party for half-a-crown, and all having consented to it they went round to get into the vehicle. Another cabman told them that the man that had been engaged had left the stand, but that he would undertake the job for 3s. 6d. This latter sum their friends refused to pay, and said they should walk home, and bade them good , night. They, the Ski nner s, having determined on having a cab to themsel ves and having bargained for one for two shillings th e y were about to get into the vehicle when the d e f en d an t ca lli ng out to tbe cabman" If I was you I wou ld h ave m y money first," and the cab man said he should. Skinner then took two shillings from his pocket and tendered them to the driver, when the defendant again said, " I should not take them at all," and the cabman refused to do so. Mrs. Skinner, addressing the defendant, asked him if 2s. was not the cabman's proper fare, and the reply was, "You go on, ma'am," and gave her a violent push, which sent her from the footway to the carriage-way. She remon strated with him upon his conduct, upon which he pushed her a second and a third time, until at length he drove her quite across the road to the end of York read. On giving her the second push, Mrs. Skinner said Pegram accompanied that violence with a kick of so severe a character that she still had the mark and felt its effects. The injuries and the indignant treatment she had received caused her to cry, and her husband came to her an d en d eavoured to soothe her as m uc h as he coul d . Th e h us b and said he should go to th e stat i on -h ouse to see k f or redress, when Pegram told him he must go there, and catching RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST. The directors of this company have just issued their half-yearly report. :R states that the capital raised to the 31st of December last was 7,690,3651., consisting of 1,837,0351. mortgage debt, 1,237,6431. preference capi tal, and 4,615,6341. consolidated stock. The total amount expended during the haltyear has been 90,503/., of which 33,834/. has been expended on the fourth line, the Crystal Palace branch, and the London-bridge ter minas ; 33,1241. on additional plant, and the remainder on works necessary for the safety and convenience of the general traffic. The large increase of traffic has shown the absolute xeceseity of the additional works and plant which have been provided ; and a simple statement of the fact, that the gross income of the company has in creased from 453,4081. in 1843, to 715,1361. in 1854, affords the best explanation of the increase of capital. Of the 252,000/. new 5 per cent. stock, 200,05 W. has been raised, leaving 51,9501. still to be appropriated ; and 49,3351. by mortgage, out of 107,070/. The balance of unexpended capital, applicable to further works, is therefore 109,635/. The gross revenue for the half year has been 396,4421., showing an increase of 31,7201. over the corresponding half-year of 185:. Of this increase 3,0051. arises from goods traffic, and 27,7911. from passenger traffic, of which 24,9161. arises from the Crystal Palace traffic. The re ceipts for the half-year ending the 31st Decem ber last amounted to 334,3191., and for the correspond ing period of 1553 to f 53,927/., showing an increase of 30,3921. The total expenses amounted to 177,3361. against 148,3411. in 1853, showing an increase of 23,995/. With respect to the large increase of expendi ture, it is stated that the working of the Crystal Palace traffic has of course bean attended with new and distinct expenses, which, since its opening on the 10th of June, have amounted to 15,0001. The remaining excess of ex penditure is accounted for mainly by two causes— namely, firstly, that the repairs and renewals of rolling stack have been very extensire, in order to keep pace with the demands of the increasing traffic—no less than five new engines have been built, at the cost of revenue, during the past year ; secondly, in a still greater degree that the effect of the high prices of coal, coke, iron, tim ber, and all other articles required for railway purposes, and of the general rise iu the wages of labour, have now been fully experienced for the first time. In the article of (-eke alone the increased expenditure, as compared with the corresponding period of 1853, has been not less than 5,5371. A comparative statement of the traffic on the line shows that in the year 1848 the traffic amounted to 453,408/., including 349,977/. for the conveyance of 2,485,773 passengers, 10,427/. for season tickets, and 61,4931. for goods traffic, andin 1854 thereceipts amount ed to 715,1361. including 492,4341. for the conveyance of 6,339,533 passengers, 32,664/. for season tickets, and 131,800/. for goods, showing an increase of 261,728/. in the course of six years. During this period the mileage of the passenger trains increased from 904,625 in 184 S, to 1,323,074 miles in 1854, and the mileage of the goods trains from 214,683 to 611,890 miles. The total ex penditure increased from 187,0871. in 1848 to 324,670/. in 1854, rhowing an increase of 137,5831. in the expen diture during the six years, including an increase in the taxation from 39,9551. to 44,247/. The total charge for mortgage debt and guaranteed capital amounted to 104,0411. in 1848, and to 136,2131. in 1854, and the dividend from 3/. 12s. per cent, in 1343 to 51. 123. per cent. ix 1854. The total direct receipts from the Crys tal Palace traffic since its opening on the 10th of June to the end of the year have been 37,2381. and the total expense of conducting the traffic 15,0101., leaving the net profit 22,9381. The total expenditure of capital on Crystal Palace branch, and for purposes applicable to the Crystal Palace traffic, including the rolling stock, may be estimated as not exceeding 200,0001.

NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE. The report of the directors of this company reminds the shareholders that the traffic has been worked under the arrangement with the London and North-Western Company, and in accordance with the terms laid down ley Messrs. Stephenson arid Hope Scott. The accounts present a dividend of 31 per cent. on the paid-up capital of the company. The directors have reason to hope that the delay interposed by the committee of the House of Commons in the passing of the Amalgamation Bill, for the purpeso of enabling he adverse interests to consider such proposals as the united railway companies had made, and might hereafter make, will not be extended beyond the present session. As being particularly con nected with the North Staffordshire district, the directors are most anxious for the adoption of the Amalgamation Bill, inasmuch as, irrespective of the increased economy which would result in the working arrangements, and the advantages which would accrue to the public gene rally, it would insure the completion of projects which they have for some time had in view for the accommoda tion of the district, and plaee permanently the populous towns of the Potteries and Newcastle on the high road between London and Manchester. The capital account shows that the company are authorised to raise 5,820,0001., of which the sum of 5,102,2481. has been raised, includ ing 1,170,0001. in respect of the canal, and leaving a balance of 717,7521. ❑ncalled. Ths capital account of the railway shows that 3,937,7331. has been received, including 1,105,8761. on loan, and 3,934,481/. expended, leaving a balance of 2,855/. The traffic receipts for the half year ending the 31st of December amounted to 122,427/., and the expenses to 56,627/., leaviug a balance of 65,8001, The receipts on the canal amounted to 65,639/., and the expenses to 28,3371., leaving a balance of 27,252/. The net receipts of the canal and railway amounted to 103,052/. for the half year, out of which 24,341/. is deducted for interest on locus, 29,2501. for dividend on the canal capital, leaving- 49,461/., which is equal to a dividend (less income tax) at the rate of 35 per cent. per annum, on the share capital of 2,126,372/, METROPOLITAN. It appears that arrangements are now being made by influential parties for carrying out this undertaking with activity and vigour. The line is to commence at the General Post-office, to cross Clerkenwell, and pass under the New-road to the new station of the Great Western Railway at Paddington, a distance of about 41 miles. In its route it will communicate with the Great Western, the London and North-Western, the Great Northern, and also, by means of the North London line, with the Eastern Counties and South-Western Railways. It is intended to connect these lines with the General Post dice. The line is estimated to cost 1,200,0001., and the gross traffic, at 3d. per passenger, to produce 230,2581. per annum. The working expenses are esti mated to amount to 35 per cent., or 80,5901., leaving a profit of 149,6681., or nearly 121 per cent, on the esti mated outlay, EAST LANCASHIRE, • It appears that the directors of this company intend to recommend the shareholders at the half -yearly meet ing, on the 23d of February next, to declare a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum for the half-year ending the 31st of December last, on the ordinary stock of the company, and to plane to the credit of the reserve fund a surplus of upwards of 1,0001. CRYSTAL PALACE. The Crystal Palace Company have issued a report pre • paratory to their meeting on the Bth of Feb. , in which they recommend a dividend o f 4 s. per share, or at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, for the half-year ending the 31st of December. The amount expended up to the present time is stated at 1,132,3381., consisting of the share capital of 1,000,0001. (less 14,225/. remaining unissued), 61,550/. borrowed on debentures, and certain sums from loans and current receipts. The revenue of the 29 weeks from the opening, on the 10th if June, to the 31st of December, has been 113,686/., and the expendi ture 38,798/., including about 10,0001. incidental to the opening ceremony. The balance nominally available is therefore 7 4 ,780/. ; and, as the proposed dividend will absorb only 39,4811., a surplus will remain of 35,3571. to the credit of revenue account for 'the present year. The general receipts have comprised—payments at the doors by 956,232 visitors, 55,7951. ; season tickets, 36,7241. ; rental of space, 18,8201. ; and miscellaneous items, 2,2451., including the refreshment department, the profits of which have exceeded its cost of 50,0351. only by 834/., and which is henceforth to be let to Messrs. Staples, of the Albion, Aldersgate-street, who are to pay a penny per head on the number of daily visitors. On the whole the results thus far attained must be regarded as satisfactory, since severe drawbacks have been en countered, from the war and other causes, which could not originally be calculated upon, With regard to future prospects, the directors look to the comple tion of the waterworks, which will be effected early in the summer, as an extraordinary soirco of attraction, as well as to thei opening of the West-end Railway, and they consider that from past experience they may fully rely that the estimate of 1,000/. per week furnished by Sir Joseph Paxton, will prove ample to cover every ex pense except that for the band. This, they remark can be retained or discontinued, as found advisable ; but, inasnmeh as in its present state of efficiency, under Mr. rbtrb V.Slovitig:in+ SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—(THIS EVENING.) The Loan Castiscnnon took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. In consequence of the resignation of Lord John Rus sell there was a very large attendance of the members of the House of Commons in their lordships' house. The Duke of Newcastle was the only member of the Government present. MISMANAGEMENT OF THE WAR. Lord LYNDHURST gave notice that to-morrow he would move a resolutionto the effectthat the expedition to the Crimea was undertaken by her Majesty's Ministers with very inadequate means, without due precaution or support, or inquiry into the nature and extent of the re sistance to be expected, and that the neglect and mis management in the conduct of the war had led to the Most disastrous results. LORD RAGLAN'S LETTER. The LORD CHANCELLOR acquainted their lord ships that ke bad received a letter from Lord Raglan, acknowledging the vote of thanks their lordships had passed to the army under his command. Tho letter was read by his lordship, and was similar to the one read in the House of Commons yesterday. The letter was ordered to be entered on the journals of the house. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said that, as a noble lord had given notice of his intention of bringing the conduct of the war under the attention of their lord ships prior to the day on which it had been his intention to do so, he should, under these circumstances, with draw the notice he had given for Monday next. RESIGNATION OF LORD JOHN RUSSELL. The Duke of NEWCASTLE—My Lords, it has already been announced in the other House of Parlia ment that the noble lord who is the leader of the Go vernment in that house has tendered to her Majesty his resignation of the office which'he held as President of the Council, and her Majesty has been graciously pleased to accept that resignation. Under these circumstances, on the motion of the Government, the House of Commons consented to adjourn until to-morrow. My noble friend, the First Loisl of the Treasury, in consequence of that resignation has gone down to Windsor, and I think your lordships will agree with me that it will be in accordance with precedent, :as well as for the convenience of the house, if your lordships would follow the example of the House of Commons in this instance, although it may not, be essentially neces sary, and consent to adjourn until to-morrow. I hope, therefore, those noble lords who have notices on the paper will consent to postpone them accordingly. I move that the house do now adjourn. The Earl of WINCFIELSE..A. was understood to de cline postponing his motion. The Earl of DERBY said it would be to his personal convenience, as well as for the convenience of the peers generally, if the noble earl would postpone his motion until another opportunity. The Earl of WINCHELSEA. reluctantly gave way to this appeal. Earl FITZWILLIAM wished to remind their lord ships that they had been informed of the resignation of one of the most important members of the Government, one who held as prominent a position out of doors as in Parliament, and he thought it was at variance with cus tom, if not with the principles of the constitution, that their lordships should proceed to act upon the fact without first receiving some explanation of the causes which had led to the resignation. The Duke of NEWCASTLE—The noble earl will permit me to interrupt hire. The noble lord to whom he is about to refer has not yet made any statement in his Place in the House of Commons ; but I have every reason to believe he will make a statement to-morrow night of the causes which have led to his resignation. It would not, therefore, be fair to the noble lord if the noble earl were to continue his observations now, and I hope he will see the inexpediency of pursuing the subject at present. (sear, hear.) Earl FITZWILLIAM would of course give way, but at the same time he felt that an event of this description ought not to be communicated to either House of Par- Lament without any explanation as to what were the grounds of the resignation. It did appear to him that the course they were taking was at variance with the constitution, as the explanation ought to be made at the samn,time the fact was communicated. (Hear.) The Marquis of LA.NSDO WNE (who was scarcely audible in the gallery) appealed to the noble earl to withhold his coramnienti for the present. The noble lord who had resigned his office was the best person to give any explanation of causes which bad led to his resignation, and he would not have an opportunity of making any statement until to-morrow. Their lordships thou adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. —{THIS EVENING.) The SzJAI took the chair shortly before 4 o'clock. NEW MEMBER.

Mr. ROEBUCK postponed until to-morrow his nio• tion for a select committee to inquire into the condition of the army before Sebastopol, and into the conduct of those departments of the Government whose duty it has been to minister to the wants of the army. THE VAR AND THE COLONIES. Sir G. GREY brought up some papers, by command of her Majesty, and took the opportunity of stating what the contents of them were. They consisted of addresses and resolutions passed by several colonial legis latures and public bodies in several of her Majes ty's colonies with reference to the subject of the war in which we are engaged. The house would be gratified to find that all of them expressed feelin: ; s of the most devoted loyalty and attachment to bar Majesty, and breathe also an earnest sympathy for the country with regard to the war. Some of them contained substantial proefe of their s i ncer it y i n t h e s h ape o f o ff ers to contri bute to the fund for the relief of these whose husbands or parents had fallen on the field of battle. The address from Caaada, which was brought over by Lord Elgin, Was the joint address of the Council and National Assembly of Canada, and mentioned that the Legisla ture of that colony had voted 20,0001. towards the Patriotic Fund. Within the last few days he had re ceived from Sir F. Head, the new Governor of the colony, two drafts for 10,0001. each, being the amount which the Legislature bad so voted. (Cheers.) Mr. ADDERLY wished to know if Government in tended to send out any formal acknowledgment of these addresses ?
