Gordon, flag-ship in Portsmouth harbour, to try Mr. William Kerr, the senior naval instructor in the fleet, and serving in the Victory, on a charge of being drunk and incapable of performing his duty on board the -said ship on the - afternoon of the 29th of March last. The charge was established by Captain Gordon, Commander Strode, and Dr. Muirhead, of the Victory, who, on being called upon by the prisoner, also testified to his general good coaduct and char acter. The latter officers. having known him longest, spoke in very high terms of Mr. Kerr's gene al deportment, drc. The court, after due deliberation, declared the charge pro vel, and adjudged the prisoner, in consideration of his long ser vices (upwards of 31 years', we believe), to be dismissed from th 9 said ship Victory, and to lose four years' rank as a naval instructor in her Majesty's naval service. A letter from her Majesty's ship Himalaya, dated Alexan dria, April 9, states :—" We embarked 192 of the 10th Hus sars in the Etna yesterday, and she sailed for Constantinople early this morning.

THE MILITIA. The Northumberland Light Infantry Militia, which was a good deal reduced by Lord Panmure's act of grace, has since been augmented by a considerable number of men, who have been reottested under the act of 1854. On Saturday week 3P men of this corps volunteered into the line, by joining the 541 h Regiment, which has a depot at Newcastle ; since then above 30 more have joined the 54th ; and the 7th Hussars, 6th and 48th Foot, the Royal Marines, and the 56th and 82d Foot, who have recruiting parties in Alnwick, have each en listed men from the same source. The militia regiment is re cruiting in Newcastle and Berwick. FROLICKING ENSIGNS• • The Commander-in-Chief, we are glad to see, has issued a memorandum severely censuring two ensigns of the 30th Regiment for insulting, in a very infamous man ner, Ensign Falkuer, of the 50th Regiment. We hope that this whole some and very necessary punishment and disgrace will effec tually put an end to a system which, although tolerated amongst school-boys, is altogether unworthy of men who hold her Majesty's commission, and who have voluntarily taken upon themselves responsibilities and duties both honourable and important. It is very evident that these dis gusting and ungentleman-like practices are more general in the army than is supposed ; and that they die not confined 4 .0 the infantry regiments may be seen from the report of an analogous case which has, within the last day or two, occurred in a cavalry regiment now in Canterbury Barracks. A duel was threatened, and, but for the timely interference of a ser jeaut of the regiment, it might have ended in loss of life to one or both of the officers concerned. The report of this last named case will be found reported below. The following is the document issued by the Commander-in-Chief : " Horse Guards, March 23, 1855. " It appears that on the I st . of March, Ensigns Sanders and Neville, of the 30th Regiment, broke in the door of Ensign Falkner, 50th Regiment, pulled him out of bed, compelled him to go into the room of Ensign Neville, and there grossly insulted him by threatening and attempting to throw him out of the window, threatening to make him eat a candle, and actually smearing his mouth with tallow, kicking him out of the room, and, after following him into his own apartment, throwing several things at him, and having with a stick broken part of his furniture, forced him on his knees, and kicked in the panel of his door. " Ensign Falkner reported these circumstances to Ca p tain Tillbrook, commanding the depot companies of the 50th Re giment, on the following morning. Captain Tillbrook, 59th, in conjunction with Brevet-Major Campbell, of the 34th Re giment, agreed to accept an apology from the two officers, and a full and ample one was made by Ensign Neville on the morning of the 3d, Ensign Sanders having gone to Cork on duty on the day preceding ; on his return he also made a full and ample apology for what had occurred, and Ensign Falk ner was satisfied. " It must here be remarked that this disgraceful conduct of Ensigns Sanders and Neville was unjustifiably compromised by the injudicious and irregular decision of Brevet-Major Campbell and Captain Tillbrook, who, as commanding com panies only, and having in no respect any jurisdiction in the discipline of the battalion of which their companies form a part, were in duty bound to make known the complaint of Ensign Falkner to Colonel Passy, their commanding officer. " The General Commanding-in-Chief cautions Brevet-Major Campbell and Captain Tillbrook against the assumption of an authority with which they are not invested, and de sires that, on all occasions involving the character of offi cers, and the discipline of the service generally, they will communicate with their commanding officer, who in this case was Colonel Passy. " Ensigns Sanders and Neville may think themselves thus far fortunate that by the error—the General Commanding-in- Chief is willing to say the mistaken leniency of Brevet-Major Campbell and Captain Tillbrook they have escaped the inevitable consequence of conduct o ungentleman-like as that of which, by their own acknowledgment, they were guilty towards Ensign Falkner. " But what opinion can be formed of an officer who, after apologising for an outrage committed, and narrowly escaping its merited punishment, again commits himself by insulting the same individual. " It is shown that Colonel Passy was obliged very severely to reprimand Ensign Neville on the 13th instant, for having used very insulting language to Ensign Falkner on the pre vious Saturday, and it was then for the first time that Colonel Passy beard of the outrage previously committed—the repe tition of which would have been prevented if the previous case had been reported. " The General Commanding-in-Chief, although disposed to accept the atonement of Ensign Sanders for his participa tion in the insult offered in the first instance, cannot avoid marking with his severest displeasure 'the repeated miscon duct o f Ensign Neville, and his total disregard of the printed instructions given him on joining the 30th Regiment. The apology of a gentleman is accepted as a promise and a gua• rantee against the repetition of au offence; but no reliance can be placed upon an officer who so far forgets what is due to the character of a man of honour as to repeat the offence which he bad expiated by an avowal of regret. " This opinion of the General Commandi, g-in-Chief on the con lust of Ensign Neville will be read in presence of • a'l the dams of the depot kfatta4ion at Fermoy, assembled for that purpose, and a copy communicated to Vie officer command ing the 30th Regiment, with an assurance that on the re currence of similar misconduct on t' e part f Ensign Neville, Viscount Hardinge w 1 , c nsider is his duty to recommend to the Queen that that officer's name should be e•a , ed from the list of the army. "The Gen ral Commanding•in-Ch'ef thanks Major-General Mansel for the very proper u easure taken by him to bring the above circumstances to the knowlo !go of Bead-quar:Ass. " The conduct of Ensign Falkner is highly commendable for having reported, as be did, the unmerited insuts offered to him I:y Ensigns Sanders and Neville ; and Lad h. not done so, in accordance with the orders of the army, Viscount, Hardinge would have deemed it impel-at ve upon him to sub mit his name to her Majesty for removal. " T e conduct of .Ensign Neville wll be reported every three mopths by his commanding officer for theduformation of the General Commanding-in-Chief. _ (Signed) " . WETHERALL,A.G." MORE PRACTICAL JOKING IN THE ARMY.-A DUEL • ' -PREVENTED. CANTERBURY, MONDAY; EVENING. This morning our Guildhall was the sccue . of great ex,ite meut, owing,to its becoming known that tw.. ,ffic rs of the 6th Inniskilling.Dragoons (now lying in our barracks), were to be had before the mayor and magistr des, on the c arge of having met for the purpose of fighting a duel early on Satur day moruing4ast. The two combatants are Cornet Edward Pick ton Baumgarten and Cornet John Evans, both of •the Same regiment. It appears_ from inquiries made, that for some : little time past Cornet Baumgartou (who has only been in the corps some three months, and who is considered a quiet, inoffen sive young man) has met with anything but gentlemanly treatment from his'brother officers, and their'practical jokes partaking more of personal insult rather than anything else, and in some instances, acoordiug to the reports current in the regiment, they have proceeded beyond the bounds of coin mou decency, and partaken of a character that prohibits fur ther allusion. Among some of the tricks to which this young officer has been subject may be mentioned the following : His sword was broken to pieces, and the plume of his hel met des‘royed —two buckets of Water thrown - into his bed, and his clothes placed In the bath, white the chest c,,ntain in his' clean linen was filled with water—six panes of glass in his window and his looking-glass smashed—the chamber utensils broken and placed in the bed—the door fastened, as well as the window, while he was in his room—his horse (which cost him 80 guineas) has been deprived of its tail and topped. In consequence of this treatment, Cornet Eaumgar ton sent Cornet Evans a challenge, as he imagined that he was the ringle,Aer in the affair, and Saturday last was fixed for carrying it into execution. Accordingly the parties met at the place appointed,/but the duel was prevented, as explained in the evidence. It should be stated that Baumgarten appeared at the magistrates' meeting on Saturday evening, and was bound over to appear to-day, and that subsequently Evans was taken on a warrant, and also admitted to bail. Joseph Quautrill deposed to detaining Cornet Baumgarten, at the request of Sergeant Brodie, shortly after six o'clock on Saturday morning, as- he was proceeding through the Old Park at the rear of the barracks with two others. He took the cornet to the farmhouse. There were five or six persons about at the time. Witness told Mr. Baumgarton what he had heard about the treatment he had received from the offi cers, when he said they had served him so many games and tricks that he had had them before the colonel ; but that he should take some sharper steps for the future than he had done. He said he would as leave go out to face the man and fire at him, as he would go out of witness's house. In answer to witness, as to whether he had any pistols, he said, " The others will bring them; duelling pistols are as long as my arm." The adjutant (Webster) then came up with a file of men, and ordered the sergeant who had prevented the duel into custody, and if he refused to go to knock him down with the butt-end of their carbines. The Superintendent of Police merely deposed to the offi cer's coming to the station-house, and to his admission that Evans was the other party iu the duel. sergeant Alexander Brodie, of the let Royal Dragoons, deposed that he was in the Old Park, at the rear of the Canterbury Barracks, between five and six o'clock on Sun day morning last. Adjutant Webster, of the depot and Cornet Baumgarten, were there, and also a little gentleman who I was told was Doctor Cooper, of the town. Mr. Hartopp was also present. The first three were walking together in the direction of the sand-pit, the doctor and Mr. Baumgarten being a little in advance. Adjutant Webster said, "Sergeant Brodie, what do you want here I" Witness made no reply, when the adjutant said, "Go away homo, sir." Witness re " No, sir, I shall put a stop to this that is to take place." The adjutant then said, "Go to your room, sir, and consider yourself a prisoner." With that, the adjutant after saying, " I will go and get a file of the guard and bring you," went in the direction of the barracks. Witness then jumped over the stile and ran up to Mr. Baumgarten and the doctor, and placing his hands out in. front of them said, " You shall not fight a duel, Mr. Baumgarton, in my presence; you shall shoot me first before you shall do it, sir." Mr. Baumgarten, however, got away, and witless ran after him, He said, " Leave me alone; I have been an injured man, Sergeant Brodie, which you know, and I will have it out now." He Was making his escape from witness, and as he (witness) saw he could not stop him, as he was in such a raging state, he ran forward to some men working in the field, and asked them, f , , r God's sake, to assist, as there were two gentlemen going to kill one another. They hesitated at first, but subsequently went and caught hold of Mr. Baumgarton, who kicked, and tore, and tried to get away front them. Witness then went to the farm-house to obtain further aid, and Mr. llaumgarton was taken into the house. Witness then re turned towards the barrack, when ho met Adjutant Web ster and Mr. Hartopp w.th a file of men. He said to the adjutant " Good morning, gentlemen; I give ,myself up as a prisoner." Adjutant Webster told his men " to knock witness down with the butt-end of their carbines if lie resisted them." Witness replied, "No adjutant, lam an old soldier, and know my duty--don't hurt me." He was b t F l i i . e k i i i a a y ri e •e v s e ti ng an A d d t j a u k ta e n n t t N o ve t b h s e teih:s tri.a servant s. came etle to i witness's house for a pair of pistols. He told him he had not had any since the regiment went out, and then inquired what they were wanted for. The servant said, "I don't know, but I have to call my master at five o'olock in the morning." Being asked if he had anything further to add, witness replied, " I should not like to say anything, about regimental affairs, as it may injure me afterwards." The magistrate's clerk explained that witness was sum moned to give evidence in behalf of the Crown, and therefore it was his duty to tell everything that he knew about the offence. Wit n ess—He knew nothing else about the duel. Did not see any pistols on the ground at the time. Cross-examined by Cornet Baumgarton--One of the farmer's men were present when you said " Let me Rion; Sergeant Brodie, I'm au injured man." You said, "If it does not come off to-day, it will another day." I swear solemnly that you did say that. I can swear that I was to.d by two persons that tiler° were pistols there. At the reque-t of the Whet, Mr. c o oper, :surgeon, then entered the witness-box ; but Mr. Austin (soliCitor) addressed the magist rates, and ob served that the whole affair was a mere joke fro m beginning to end. Should the bench think it might have ended se riously the defendants were quite willing to enter into sureties to prevent any breach of the peace taking place, which, he ap prehended, would put an end to it. The mayor and magistrates then consulted for a few mo ments, and then ordered the two defendants to enter into their own bonds of 1001. each, and two sureties in 50/., to keep the peace towards each other. The regular bail was quickly procured, and the officers left with their friends. - TBE VIENNA CONFERENCE. (Prom the Times of this day.) Th e proceedings of the Plenipotentiaries of the G reat• Powers at Vienna have now reach e d a p oint which at once removes the uncertainty and destroys the hopes raised at the outset and in the progress of these negotiations. We have not, in deed, ourselves at any time used language in speaking of these transactions which implied the slightest confidence in their successful result ; but as long as the negotiation itself lasted there was a possibility that the Russian Plenipoten tiaries might have in reserve some concession to satisfy the just demands of the A llied Powers, or that some decisive oc currence at Sebastopol might alter the present aspect of affairs. These faint chances of success have both failed. The C on f er ence has now termi nated its sittin g s b y an adjournment sine die • the Plenipotentiari es have se p arated with assurances of mutual l regret ; Lord J. R ussell and M . Drou y n de l'Huys are way to London and Paris ; and it is nego t i a ti o n for peace with Russia will not be resumed until event s of a far more decisive character thany an which have yet occurred determine the issue of this great proba le contest. It will, of courso, be the duty of Lord John Russell already that o a their and of the British Government to make known to Parliament and to the nation at the earliest period the precise nature of the terms of peace proposed to the enemy, and the cause of the failure of this negotiation. This course was followed when Lord Malmcsbury broke off the negotiation at Lille in 1797, and when Lord Lauderdale returned from Paris in 1806. Lord Palmerston has, however, already informed the House of Commons that in the final interview of the Pleni potentiaries on Saturday last, Prince Gortschakoff and M. de Til,,ff wholly rejected the proposal for a limitation of the naval forces of Russia • in the Black Sea, and likewise the al ternative of the neutralisation of those waters, nor . did they offer any counter-propositio n to the Conference , ' although they were expressly invited to do so. This answer brought the negotiation to a close. The position of Russia in this negotiation may therefore now be clearly defined. She professed to give her sssent to a document based upon the notes of the Bth of August, and the Four Points as the basis of a definitive arrangement, well knowing that the diminution or abatement of her own power in the Black Sea formed an essential part of those terms. The mode in which this abatement of her power in the Black Sea was to be effected depended chiefly ci the results of our military and naval operations while the negotiation was going on; but, as Sebastopol was still nu t-aka'', and a parts of the Russian fleet undestroyed, the pro position itself assumed the mildest form ; nothing w as sa i d of the destruction of Sebastopol, and the Allies professed their willingness to make peace on' condition that Russia should no longer maintain in the Black Sea a naval power fatal to the existence of Turkey. Nevertheless, when the Conference arrived at a positive and distinct discussion of this point, after a fresh reference to St. Petersburg, the Russian Ministers refused to accept any terms i nvo l v i ng either a surrender of territory or a diminution of their own naval power, and they offered no other expedient for attain ing the proposed end, which is to secure the independ ence Turkey. These fact, , having been stated in Parli ament by the of First Minister of the Crown, the conduct of Russia in the stage of this negotiation affords us demonstrati ve evidence last that she never intended to submit to the diminuti on of her preponderance in the Black Sea, unless the military events occurring in the interval should leave her no option ; but, as the progress of the siege of S ebastopol has been, and still is, undecisive, she would not lend herself to any arrangement which give might effect to that essential condition. Had the time which has been spent in these negotiations been employed with vigour by the allied commanders, it is quite possible that the language the Russian Ministers would have undergone a considerable of ble change ; but during the inaction of the allied forces in the Crimea the Russians appear to have thought that our demands were not yet justified by our success. The effect produced upon the enemy by these discussions is therefore null and void, and we must even doubt whether Russia had acceded with sincerity to any part of the proposed compromise. It remains for us to consider what will be' the eff ec t of these Conferences and their termination on our relations with the other Powers of Europe, and especially with Austria. Throughout those discusidowi. at Max& both withia tad / without the official Conferences, the Austrian Government has not ceased to act in close union, and apparently entire sfireement, with the Western Powers. The statement that :difference of opinion arose between these three Powers as to the extent of the conditions to l?e demanded of Russia for the limitation of her power in the Black Sea is without foun dation, and it is consequently equally incorrect that the Western Powers were called to make, or (lid make, any further concessions to meet the views of Austria. Iu fact, the refusal of Russia to treat on this basis was so absolute that it admitted of no such distinctions of mode or degree. Neither has Anstritygiven 'the slightest cause for the imputation of entering into a separate arrangement with Russia, from, which she is expressly precluded by the first article, of the treaty of the 2d of December. We shall as sume,-then, until the contrary-be proVed, that Atistria agrees with France and- England on the principal conditions and securities for the restoration of peace, as !he . agreed with those Powers in the Notes of the Bth of August, as she agreed in the treaty of 'the 21 of December and the correspoudence of that period, and as she agreed in the joint interpretation affixed to those propositions at the outset of these' Confer ences. Indeed as long - as words retain their moaning, there are so many documents in existence recording 7 this assent of Austria in $o many forms that there can b 3 no .clispute•about the mo.tter;• nor has the Cabinet of Vienna shown any dis position, so far as we yet know, to repudiate' nr fecede from' these declarations. Indeed Lord Palmerston expressly stated last night that the principle laid down by France and England •was agreed to by Anstria, and unanimously pressed on Russia by thh four other Powers. If those conditions were essential to the . restoration and maintenance of peace eight months agortl ey unquestionably are so still, and Austria has not expressed an opinion that peace can safely be obtained on any less broad and solid basis. ' Thus far, then, and on the ground of policy and principle, Austria has not deviated from the views which have led the Western Powers to take up arms. Is she then prepared, on the failure of these negotiations, to act up to the engagements of the treaty of the 2d of December, and, peace not being made, to enter at once upon the "effectual means for aecomplis4ing the ob ject of that alliance ?" That is the next vital question which can engross the attention of Europe, and at the present mo ment it is by no means decided. As Austria has adhered throughout to the views' And propositions of the West ern Powers, and she has already made herself a party to formal treaties with the belligerent States, announcing an irrevocable determination completely to unite her own efforts with theirs until their common object is entirely attained (these are the words of the treaty with France and England), it is impos sible that she should ignore or repudiate these engagements without renouncing her own position in Europe, and acting in direct opposition to all the arguments she has herself ad dressed to Prussia and the other German States. To subside into the Prussian system of neutrality, after having followed the opposite line of policy to the very verge of hostilities, would be an act of such supreme inconsistency and absurdity that it must instantly expose the Court of Vienna to all the consequences of amoral defeat both in Germany and in Europe. But, on the other hand, it is clear that the Ministers of Austria regard with extreme apprehension the dangers and chances of • war. They are aware that they can by no means rely on sup port from any part of Germany, and that it is not impossible that Prussia should take a selfish advantage of the embarrass ments in which Austria might be placed. They cannot hope for the direct military assistance of Franco or England against Russia, because the whole available force of those States must be directed for the present to the Crimea. Austria has in front of her the four finest corps of the Russian army, amount ing probably to 250,000 men, operating upon a basis of im pregnable fortresses against a frontier which is almost unpro tected.from Czernowitz to Olmutz, and, unless Austria is sup ported by her Germanic confed.!rates, whose strategical posi tion completes her own, the result of such a contest might depend on the fate of a batee. These are the considerations which doubtless cheek the resolution of the Cabinet of Vienna; and they are materially aggravated by the want of decisive success on the part of the allied armies. But, although the decision of Austria is not yet taken for active war, she must perceive that there is more danger to herself as well as to Europe from a protracted war than from one vigorous and united effort, in which she would have for her allies the most powerful and civilised nations in the world ; and, as it is now certain that the Emperor of the French is resolved to proceed to the Crimea for the purpose of giving the full weight of his authority to the conduct of the war, the fame, and possibly the existence, of her Government is staked on the success of this contest. OFFICIAL DESPATCH PROM FIELD MARSHAL LORD RAGLAN. ( From a Second Supplement to Friday's Gazette.) War Department, April 24, 1855. Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch and its enclosures, of which the following are copies, ad dressed to his Lordship by Field-Marshal the Lord Raglan, G.C.B. Before Sebastopol, April 10, 1855. . . My Lord—ln accordance with the arrangement made between General Canrobert and myself, the batteries of the French and English armies opened upon Sebastopol soon after daylight yesterday morning. The weather was extremely unpropitious. Much rain had fallen in the course of the night, and it continued during the day, accompanied by a tempestuous wind, and a heavy mist which obscured everything, and nu dered it impossible to ascertain with any degree of accu racy the effect of the fire, which has continued with little or no interruption from the commencement, and has been superior t) that of the enemy, who were evidently taken by surprise, and, except upon the extreme left, did not respond to the attack for nearly half an hour. This morning has been hazy, and for some time there was a drizzling rain ; but it is clearing this afternoon, and there is again a prospect of fine weather. The country yesterday was covered with water, ard .the ground was again very deep. The trenches %.‘ ere likeNise extremely muddy, and their condition addeo greatly to the labours of the men employed in the bat teries, who consisted chiefly of tailors, artillerymen, and sappers. They conducted their duties admirably, and I am sorry to say that the two former, particularly the navy, sus tained considerable loss. I have not yet received the returns of the casualties beyond the 9th instant, which are herewith enclosed ; but the death of Lieutenant Twy ford, of the Royal Navy, a most promising officer, and greatly respected by all, has been notified to me ; and Captain Lord John flay, who has taken a most active pat t in the gallant and dis• tinguished services of the naval brigade, was wounded almost at the very moment, I believe by the same shot. I hope the injury he has received is not very serious, but 041 cm of Icis4utsietanceeeven.for4l timec ttruchAto be" regretted. The Russians have not shown themselves in any force in front of Balaklava. I have, Ste., The Lord Panmure, &c., &o. RAGLAN.

Mure, of Caldwell, M.P. for the county of Renfrew, has ad dressed a letter to his constituents, from Nice, where he is at present residing, intimating his retirement from the representation of the shire. This is understood to have been caused by the ill-health of the colonel and of some of the members of his family. In his letter to his constituents Colonel Mure says—" As the reasons that have induced me to take this step are altogether of a private or domestic nature, I abstain from entering into any detailed explanation of them. It will suffice to re mark that those by which I have mainly been influenced are serious obstacles lately interposed by various causes to my regular attendance in my place in Parliament —a duty, at the present crisis, more than usually im perative on every member of the Legislature." Colonel Mure contested Renfrewshire unsuccessfully in 1841, but was returned in 1846 (on the death of Mr. Patrick Maxwell Stewart), and again at the last general election without opposition. He was elected Lord Rector of Glasgow University in 1847, which office he held for two years, and he is well and favourably known in the lite rary world. As the intimation of his resignation has taken the constituency by surprise, no candidate tor the vacant seat is yet in the field, but public attention is generally directed to Sir Michael Shaw Stewart, of Ard gowan, as Colonel Mure's successor. Sir Michael is a young man much esteemed in the county, in which he has a large estate. He was recently married to a daugh ter of the Marquis of Westminster. INSPECTION OF THE GUARDS' PlONEERS.—Yesterday the whole of the pioneers attached to the brigade of Guards were mustered in full marching order at the Horse Guards for the inspection of the Commander-in-Chief and the adjutant -general, to ascertain to what extent the burden of the men can be lightened wh en on th e marc h. At present th e men , in addition to their pioneer tools, have to carry the implements of their trade, which, with their kits, firelock, bayonet, cartouche-box, weigh, without canteen or haversack, nearly 1121 b.—a fearful weight on a heavy march, and one that most men would sink under. By command of Lord Hardinge a number of army accoutrement-makers were present ; the different articles the men carried were all subjected to the test of weight ; the men were invited by the Com mander-in-Chief to suggest any improvements that had occurred to them. It is understood that the cumbrous leathern apron is to be entirely dispensbd witb, and the weight hitherto carried reduced to about one-half, the reduction to be extended to the regimentl o of o th E e m l_in e i he ANOTHER GERMAN CONSTITIITIO:forD a ll the highest utter impotence of the Germanic D efforts of national lite was probably aff are ; yet this is the at the present crisis of Germ never so apparant as moment selected by that body a inding c ed a decision uphold that its powers of mischief are n f entire °r a Germany unimpaired.

This morning, at ' a quarter to eleven, their Majesties, attended by a brilliant escort, • walked from the Hotel to the parish church of St. Peter's, the fishermen's church, on the heights, overlooking the her -bout, where they heard a low mass. A dense crowd was assembled to receive them, although it was -thought that but few knew of their Majesties' intention. .After mass a brilliant review of the.four camps took:place in the sands opposite the . Hotel. 40,000 men, under the orders of General Mac Mahon, Bourgon, l'Admi rault, and Borelli were drawn up in a long parallelogram.

DIABOLICAL -A-T-TEMP-T AT THE SLAM! IRONWORKS, SOUTH WALES. On Friday morning a most diabolical attempt to de stroy lives or property, or both, was made at the Blama Ironworks, South Wales. At about half- past 12 o'clock that morning, the engineer w h o has the charg e of the great engine stopped it for the p urpose of oiling it, and having accomplished that object, a n d put it, as he be lieved, in the best working order, he again started it for work. Luckily the man, who is an unusually careful engineer, started it at a very low speed. Had he not done so, it is fearful to contemplate the extent of injury that might have ensued'hoth to life and property ; for almost as soon as it started, he found that there was a seine thing amiss with the great fly-wheel, the reversion of which caused a sudden jerk and a loud crashing noise. He immediately shut off his steam to stop the machinery, and having called the carpenter, they made a proper examination of the engine, and soon found that some miscreant had inserted a bolt of iron between the cogs of the great driving wheel. The iron was forced out, and fell into a pond of water under neath the wheel, from which it was afterwards fished out, and was f )tind •to bear marks corresponding with injuries of the cogs themselves. An inquiry was immediately instituted, with a view. to ascertain who, as the iron must have been introduced into the wheel purposely, could have been guilty of so diabolical an act, and at length suspicion fell on a man named James Norman. He had been seen during the time that the engine was stopped standing close to the wheel, and suspicion falling on no other person, Norman was ar rested and taken before the magistrates, charged with the crime. Two of the shearers engaged at the works, named John Whitley and William Vaughan, swore dis tinctly to having seen him standing close by the great driving wheel, and one of them added that he saw him throw something towards the wheel. - Mr. Richard Arnold, the engineer of the Cwmcelyn mill, was present at the examination, and stated that had full power been put upon the engine after the' iron Was in the wheel, the damage might have amounted to 10,0001. or even to 15,0001.,- besides which there 'wculd have probably been a sacrifice of human life, which be shuddered to estimate. The prisoner simply denled the offence, or that he had been near to the driving-wheel, as was alleged by the witnesses, but both Whitley and Vaughan were positive as to his identity ; and the magistrate, after commenting on the diabolical nature of the attempt, fully committed Norman to take his trial for the offence. _ _ The occurrence, as may be supposed, has produced quite a sensation in the neighbourhood.

( TERRI= AND FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE CDT:3JUN OnEAr ViAtwor.—A terrible accillnt has occurred, through a simple tni,talto on the plrt of one of the work men, at Crtimlio Great Viaduct, South Wales". Three of the colossal. iron giracr , , which stretch from the st4a pint. to the firit pier on the oppositeside of the valley, I+l been properly fixed in their plaCes;•hi,d a fourth ha I hen raised, and was in progress of being secured like the other, when a workirani named George 13:tuniA , F, misapprehending, it is suppose:), the orders of the fore man of the works, George Ives, knocked away th e wooden supporters before the girder had been fastened. The girder, which was of great weight, immediately fell outward, and being fastened by means of chains to the other three, they were also drawn out with it, and the whole fell with a tremendous crash, carrying with it a mas 3 of platform work, and snapping immense bulks as easily as if they werereede. The foreman Ives,and George Bannister, who were standing on the girder at the time, were carried with the falling mass, and were both killed ; and two other men, who were beitriding the girder, were also' carried down with it, but, marvellous to relate, escaped with comparatively slight injuries.* The weight of the mass which fell could not have been less than 209 tons, but luckily the girders are not hurt. Ives', the foreman, was a workman of great expe r i en c e , an d hid before had some very narrow escapes with his life. In December last , when some of the same work f e ll, h e h a d his leg broken. DESPATCH OF BUSINESS IN THE COURT OF CHAN CERY.—A bill brought from the House of Lords on the 30th ult. proposes to make further provision for the more speedy and efficient despatch of business in the High Court of Chancery, by appointing an additional junior clerk to each of the Chief Clerks, and by the apiJointment of additional junior clerks hereafter, if necessary. In the Report-office of the Court of Chancery, the office of Master of Reports and Entries is to be abolished from the • first' occurrence 'of a vacancy, and the business of the said office will thence. forth be conducted under the superintendence and con trol of the Clerks of Records and Writs, and Entering Clerks under the Registrars. ' A provision! is made for the continuance of the salary of the present Master of Reports and Entries, Mr. James Thomas Fry. The salaries of the present Clerks of Records and Writs may be increased by the Lord Chancellor if he: shall deem the duties devolving upon them too extensive in pro portion to their present salaries, such additional salaries not to exceed 2001. a year each.
