IMPERIAL PAHLIAMENT. --• HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on tho woolsack Ave o'clock. Borne bills, including the Fisheries Bill, were advanced tage. THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS. Lord ABERDEEN, in moving the adjournment of the house, said—My lords, before the next ,meeting of the house, I trust that the embarrassment which at present exists will bo entirely removed. Their lordships then adjourned until Thursday. HOITSE OF COMMONS-YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a second time, and or dered to be committed : Alf or d an d B os t on R oa d ; Ches terfield Water and Gas ; Cork and Youghal Railway ; Cornwall Railway ; Dundee and Perth and Aberdeen Railway; Glasgow and South Western Railway Consoli dation ; Londonderry Improvement ' • Manchester, Shef field, and Lincolnshire Railway (Lincoln Branch, &c.); Newport Corporation ; Over Darwen Gas ; Sheffield Gas ; and Dundalk Harbour and Port. SOLDIERS' PAY, Colonel B. KNOX seeing the right hon. the Secretary at War in his place ho wished to put a ques ti on t o hi m o f which he had not given him notice. Complaints had been made by persons in this country who had had money sent to them from their relatives serving in the East that they were linable to obtain the money, and on application to the War-office they were given to under stand that they were unable to receive the money, from the circumstance that up to a late date in last year no ac count had been received from the Paymaster-General. Nov he wished to know if that was correct or not ? Mr. S. HER.BERT—Perhaps the gallant officer will re pent the question to-morrow; but I understand no accounts have been received from the paymasters of the regiments. Colonel B. KNOX—No, no accounts have been received from the Paymaster-General. HOSPITAL AT SCUTARI. Mr. BENTINCS wished to ask the Secretary at War, whether it is true that Dr. Lawson, who was recently severely censured iu General Orders by the Commander iu Chief for his " apathy and indifference towards the sick and wounded on board the Avon transport," has been ap pointed as principal medical officer to the hospital at Scu tari ; and if so, by whose authority that appointment was made ? Mr. S. HERBERT said, I have no official account of the appointment of Dr. Lawson, but I have reason to believe that private letters have been received stating that Dr. Lawson has been temporarily put in charge of the hospital at Scutari, and have inquired by what authority he could have been so appointed, and I am inf,rmed that the distribution of offices in the medical staff is left to the chief medical officer, but his appointments are subject to the sanction of the highest military authority. I may state that Dr. Cumming, who was at the head of the Scutari hospital, has been to Balaklava to inquire into the state of tho hos pital, but I have every reason to believe that he has re turned to Scutari, and at this moment, therefore, he is at the head of the hospital, and not Dr. Lawson. DUTY ON FOREIGN WINES. Mr. OLIVEIRA. gave notice that on Tuesday, the 20th inst., he should call the attention of the house to the pre sent rate of duty charged on foreign and colonial wines. PROMOTION IN THE ARMY. Lord GODERICH intimated that on this day fortnight he should move that i❑ the opinion of the house the present system of promotion in the army, by which non-commissioned officers seldom attained the rank of commissioned officers, and rarely of field officer, was-unjust to tho private soldier, and ought to be amended. (Hear.) BURIAL GROUNDS. Mr. A. PELLATT gave notice that he should postpone his motion on the books to-day on this subjezt until Tues day, the 20th inst. THE CAVALRY CHARGE AT BALAKLAVA. Mr. H. BERKELEY piitponed his motion for inquiry into the conduct of Lord Lucan, in ordering the charge of Light Cavalry at Balaklava, until this day week. THE CIVIL SERVICE OF INDIA. the house to address her Majesty upon the present position of affairs, it should yet be done in a solemn, constitutional manner after due notice, and not by a sort of side wind, as some hon, members seemed now to desire. (Hear.) He therefore implored the house net to be led into a dis cussion at this moment, which could accomplish no üblie object, while it might seriously obstruct the settlement of affairs. L - it. the house then wait until they had a responsible Government before them when explanations might be fairly and properly demanded, and not waste time in en tering upon a conversation of this kind. (Hoar, hear.) Mr. MUNTZ thought the house was in a very humilia ting situation already, and the country was in a hu miliating condition—(hear, hear)—for here they had been wasting eight or nine whole days to get a Government, and now it almost seemed that none could be formed. Why should the country have to wait until three or four aristocratic families had adjusted their disputes be fore it could obtain a Government ? (Hear.) The fact was the feeling was growing out of doors that there were men disconnected with those aristocratic families of sufficient energy and ability to carry on the Government, and to those they ought to address themselves. (Hear, hear.) It was the feeling of the people of England that the heads of the different parties were unnecessarily wasting time, and if something were not done to put an end to the present state of things the country would not only be disgraced in the eyes of Europe, but placed in a position of imminent danger. (Cheers.) Mr. MALINS could not look at the present state of things without serious alarm, and he agreed with the hon. gentleman who had just addressed them, that itwasa h n o y u t l h d in b g e but satisfactory to the country that 8 or 9 days s allowed to elapse without any Government being formed. The vete that was come to at the early part of last week was intended as a vote of censure upon the Government, and what had since occurred had proved that the censure was well merited. (Hear, hear.) It was, indeed, a dis astrous state of things that in a country like this a body of men could not be found capable of managing the Go vernment, but the time had arrived when it was absolutely necessary that the people should take the matter into their own hands and no longer allow the administration of their political affairs to depend upon the wills or the whims of a few aristocratic families. (Cheers.) If those aristo cratics could not find men competent enough for the task amongst themselves they should have the good sense to give way, and he demanded to know of the right honour able gentleman opposite whether they had any reason able prospect of forming a Government. (Loud cheers.) He blamed the Duke of Newcastle for having undertaken an office for which he was not fit, while he equally blamed the noble lord the member for London for acquiescing in the appointment. He hoped the house would not tolerate this state of things ; and if a Government was not formed before Thursday, he should expect to see an address moved to the Crown on the subject. He attributed tho present state of affairs to the unfortunate breaking up of the Con servativo party in 1845 ; but he believed the time had come when the country would no longer be governed by Sir E. PERRY asked the President of the Board of Con trol, let, Whether as the regulations for the examination of candidates for the civil service of India give a manifest advantage to candidates who have been educated in England under the English system of education, and arrangements are in contemplation by which Hindoos and Muesulmen, who may be equally well educated under a different aye tern, may be admitted to compete with reference totheirown branches of knowledge ; and, secondly, if no such arrange ments are in contemplation, whether Hindoos and Mussul men, and other natives of India, may be admitted to com pete, under the present rules, without being obliged to undertake the expensive journey to England, which in the case of Hindoos militates against their religious opinions and feelings ? In doing so the hon. gentleman was pro ceeding to enter into a few explanatory remarks, but was interrupted by cries of " order," and resumed his Beat after simply putting the question. Sir O. WOOD, after alluding to the extreme inconve nience, under present circumstances, of questions by hon. gentlemen being accompanied by any reference to facts and arguments, he (Sir C. Wood) did not, in replying, intend to make any observations with regard to the regulations now laid on the table ; but he might say that, to a certain extent, the regulations must be of an experi mental character, and there was no intention at present of making any alteration in them. (Hear, hear.) THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS. Sir GEO. GREY—Sir, I beg to inform the house that I have received a message from my noble friend th© Sesre- tary of State for tho Homo Department, stating th, he has received a commission from her Majesty to undertake the formation of a Government. Under these circumstances ho has requested that I would movo that the house at its rising should adjourn until Friday next ; but I have been informed since I came into the house, that it would be an inconvenience if the house adjourned over to-morrow, as there is some business which will not occupy much time to be disposed of to morrow. Therefore the house at its rising will adjourn as usual until to morrow, but it may be understood that the sitting will only be of short duration. On the motion that the house do now adjourn, Mr. BENTINCK rose for the purpose of calling the at tention of the house to the anomalous and disastrous state of public affairs at the present moment. It was impossible, he said, to imagine a state of things more disastrous than those which at present existed, as regarded both the cha racter and prospects of the country. (Hoar, hear.) It was now more thou a week since a vote of the house had compelled the resignation of the Government, and he wished to know:what had occurred during that time—time every hour of which was invaluable, aid en the proper dis tribution of which might, in all probability, depend the lives of thousands of our fellow-countrymen. (Cheers.) If he was rightly informed—and it should be understood he was speaking from public rumour in the absence of any better guide—the Earl of Derby had, in the first instance, been commissioned to form a Government, a nd th a t h e had made an attempt to do so, and appealed at the outset to the noble lord the late Secretary for the Home Depart- ment. The latter noble lord, it was said at first, consented the minority in Parliament. Mr. S. WORTLEY put it to the house whether this communication could be of any service to the country ? He apprehended not ; and since they had been informed that the one man to whom the country looked at this juncture was engaged in the formation of a Government, what other course could they take but at once assent to the adjournment. Mr. ROEBUCK remarked, in answer to Mr. Mains, that the minority were not to blame th_►t the Conservatives were not iu office, because the leader of that party had been called upon to form an Administration, and he had failed to do so. With regard to proceeding with the committee, he could not do so in the absence of a responsible Govern ment; while, as for what had boon stated about the noble lord the member for Tivorton, he hoped ho would set the obstructions aside, and form an Administration of men who, if they did not obtain the support of the house, would be likely to receive the confidence of the country. (Cheers.) After a few words of explanation from Mr. BENTINCK, The house adjourned at 10 minutes past five o'clock. We may montion that neither Lord Palmerston, Lord John Russell, nor the late Chancellor of the Exchequer were present during the sittings of the house. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER, TUESDAY. On Saturday the monotony which had previously ex isted as regards the betting upon the Liverpool Steeple chase was to a great extent broken by the rapid advance of both Miss Mowbray and The Trout, the former springing from 15 to 1 to 11 to 1, the latter from 25 to 1 to 14 to 1, the short odds being taken freely about each. Brown Brandy was in considerable demand for the Ches ter Cup, and would have been backed to money at 40 to 1 ; the highest offer, however, was 100 to 3. The first four favourites were altogether untouched, although 25 to 1 wee currently offered en the field. Yesterday (Monday) Miss Mowbray and The Trout were again in force for the Liverpool Steeplechase. The horse, had, however, just the call of the mare. Each were backed at 10 to 1, but at the close that price was unobtainable about the latter, but was offered against the former. St. Hubert for the Two Thousand Guinea Stake!, who has been very quiet in the market of late, found a friend, who quietly, and with his usual tact, succeeded in backing him to win near 3001. at 3 to 1, the movement scarcely being ob served. Bonnie Morn had n• friends at 4 to 1. An dover and Rotherham, both for the Chester Cup, were each backed at '2OO to 9, but at the close no advance upon 20 to 1 could be obtained against either of them. 25 to 1 was currently offered on the field, bar two. Today (Tuesday). although the acceptances for the Liverpool Steeplechase were published, the betting upon it we.. unimportant. 10 to 1 was offered on the field, and Miss Mowbray seemed rather "shanty, "having nelriceds at 14 to 1. St. Hubert, for the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes, was a worse favourite than yesterday ; 65 to 20 was offered without a response. We think Lord of the Isles in reality is as good a favourite as anything. We may here remark that the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes has this year been a better betting race than we have seen it for some time. Very few books are open upon the Metropolitan Handicap, and only the favourites are in quired after, the only horse that was backed for money for the Chester Cup was Bright Phcebus 1,000 to 30 was taken in one bet, as well as other sums at the same price, 900 to 20 was taken about Little Harry, and the old price of 40 to 1 was asked for in vain about Brown Brandy, 15 to 2 was offered agst St. Hu bert for the Derby, but we think 8 to 1 would have been laid ; 300 to 25 was taken once about Lord of the Isles. In other respects the following quotations will indicate the state of the odds : LIVERPOOL STEEPLECHASE. 10 to 1 agst Trout (taken and offend) 12 to 1 agst Easton (offered) 14 to 1 agst Miss Mowbray (offered) 20 to 1 agst Tom Thumb (take 25 to 1) THE TWO THOUSAND. 65 to 20 agst St. Hubert (offered) 70 to 20 agst Lord of the Liles (taken) 4to 1 agst Bonnie Morn (offered) 9to 1 agst Polydore (take 10 to 1) METROPOLITAN HANDICAP.

Now, he hoped the noble lord would take a proper time to explain to the house and the country that course of conduct which if correct, as he (Hr. Bentinck) had stated it, certainly looked very much like vacillation. It was further stated that the late President of the Council bad afterwards been called upon by her Majesty to form an Administration, but the attempt, as the noble lord had io formed them, had failed after a few hours' exertion, a re sult which after the proceedings of the last few days was not surprising. (Laughter, and hear, hoar.) Then it was said that the noble lord the late Secretary of the Home Department had been for some days attempting, and so far as he (Mr. Bentinck) at present knew, without success, to form an Administration ; and they wore further told, by rumour, that the difficulties which the noble lord had had to contend with arose from the determination of certain pu b lie men to insist upon a preponderance of their own party in constituting a Government. Now ho would ask the house, was this'a creditable state of things for the country to find itself in? (Hear, hear.) Was it right th ey s h ould be listening night after night to personal recriminations be tween noble members in the other house and noble lords in that house, whil:t other public men were engaged in en deavouring to obtain a preponderance of their own party . before another Government could be formed, although the affairs of the country wore in so disastrous a condition ? It was impossible to coneeivo anything morkdiscredita ble or disastrous than the delay which had taken place during the last few days in the constitution of a Ministry capable of carping en the affairs of the country. (Hear.) He had been indticed to make those remarks in the hope that having done so he might-induce others who had more • weight than he had in that house to take up the subject, end can upon the house for an expression of, its opinion, which might lead to a better • state of things, and to a termination of the delay which had hitherto interrupted the conduct of public businces. (Hear, hear.) He need not remind the house that the lives of thousands of their fellow -creatures might be depending upon every this-employed hour, and ho trustedgra the hou se wo uld express its opinion in th e way b e l on eggested, so that their present position might no botie ate?notinue to weaken tho character of the c oun t ry Sir C l4 . 4 , e ( eAnd abroad. (Hear, hear.) at this time le said it was excessively inconvenient that be asked for t x y P i l e natione of w h a t had taken place sho u ld stood in much neeed-olieembrs. Every ono knew that they sent state of Ministeria fresh Government, but in the pre sent person in that bons? affairs, when there was ne respon sible that such que4 l 2,P l y , tisilekould be put it was indeed most in cutp by the hon. member wh o as had been just sat down. No doubt a proper opportunity would taken by the new Government when it was formed to give the fullest expla nation in its power. (Cheers.) hontiil,rnronet must Mr. WHITESIDE said the right y ramleveanti.ire have misunderstood his bon. friend, N ee l , to ask for any explanations, but had airepl I and sensible ranarks with a view of inducing el a w ,, house to express its opi9ion on theresent del a y, and of hastening to a termination negotiations a which seemed • likely never to approximate to en end. (ear, hear.) Mr. SCOTT attributed the present state of public, affair s to the unwillin g uese of ' the house to debate prelimine i r l Y questions in Le •,e • e 3 3 ,4 1841; for if the questions put by the hon. member for Ayi°. _ir b y had been enforced and debated, he believed there no 3 have been no war. The leader of the into Government was a' Captlit 1110 ?' - Wm, and his Administration had been , feeble from i the begi nn i ng t o th e e nd, so fo ble, indeed, as ultimately to lead to a vote of censure that was carried by a inejoi ity of two tesione. (Hear.) Was the voice 61 the co un t r y to bo stifled by the h ouse a ll ow i ng th ese defeated 3linistors to return to their seats? W0u7.1 the house or the country pet niit the leader of an Administration that had so grossly udiconducted affairs to hold such a position in the new Cabinet as to still leave him in possession of all the pow3r, though not the honours, of his former office ? (flear.) Could they tolerate that when he was the very man whose' incapacity had drawn us into this war ? (Cries of hear, hear.) He protested, then, against their ad journing in this way from day to day without anything decisive being known. It Was trifling alike with the time of the hones and the interest of the country, and he hoped some understanding with regard to it would bo immedi ately tome to. (Hear, hear.) Mr- LABOUCHERE declared that the house would be ltrineritseif the eyes of the country if it permitt e d conversationto go on. It could lead to no result, and though the time 'might come When it would be the dug of LIVERPOOL SPI ACCEPTANCES for the GRAN] 54 subs., 14 of whom elect, Age et lb Bourton Peter Simple a 11 6 Miss Mowbray a 11 6 Peter Need wood The General Trout ' a 10 12 Itet3,ll A.hd-el-Kader. a 10 5 Half-and-Half a 10 4 Dalkeith 6 10 4 Bastion Escape The Poet Nugget Clarion g (h b) .

She comes home with two-thirds of her ship's company and minus a great many of her guns, landed at Balaklava. The Trafalgar, 120, Captain Greville, is expected at Sheerness to pay off, or rather pay down ; she has been four years in the Mediterranean and has a fine able crew. The Royal George, Captain Codrington, C. 8., is in the basin, Sheerness. Her alterations are fast progress ing. Most of her crew have returned from their leave, time having expired on Monday. The Cressy, 81, screw, Captain Warren, is moored in the stream at Sheerness. She has nearly completed taking in all stores, &c., and may be reported as fit for immediate service. The Majestic, 81, screw, Captain Hope, C. 8., is still in No. 3 dry dock, Sheerness, detained by her machinery being under repair. Tl►e Blenheim, 61, ■crew, Captain (Nemesia) Hall, will haul into the fit.ing basin at Portsmouth on Thurs day. _ _ The Russell, 61, screw, Captain Scott, heisted the pendant at Sheerness, on Thursday. She has got in her lower masts, which will be rigged forthwith. She is to go into No. 1 dry dock in a day or two, which is being got ready for her. ARRIVAL OF TIII SICK AND WOUNDED. The Pembroke, 61, screw, Captain Seymour, will haul into the steam basin at Portsmouth, to-day, to receive her boilers and machinery. The Nankin, 50, Captain Keith, is lying up at the Black Stakes, River Medway. On Monday she swung ship and adjusted her compasses, under the superintend ence of Mr. Barlow, master of the Formidable. She is taking in some trifling stores, when she will proceed to Plymouth. Her future destination will be either India or China. She has a fine crew, we hear. The Amphion, 34, screw, Captain Key, is in No. 2 dry dock, Sheerness. Her false keel is broken off in several places ; the keel will have to be wholly replaced by a new one. She was rubbed a little with the ice in the Baltic, where she was on shore more than once, as long as 20 hours at a time. Tile mechanics are busily employed bedding her new boilers below, &c. The Pylades, 21, screw, Captain D'Eyncourt, hauled out of No. 1 dry dock, Sheerness, yesterday afternoon, and has gone under the sheers to take a portion of her heavy machinery in ; her topmasts are on end, and every facility is given to get her forward as soon as possible. The Tartar, 21, screw, Captain Dunlop, is moored on the west shore, Sheerness ; preparations were made to swing her to adjust her compasses, but the thick hazy weather prevented it. She is an exceedingly smart looking vessel, and rumour sends her to the Black Sea. Thu Desperate, 8, screw, Captain White, is in the basin, Sheerness, refitting, &c. The Melarnpus, store frigate, Commander Borlase, has hauled out of the basin at Sheerness, at last, and h moored over on the other shore ; she progresses fast in all respects. The Geyser, 6, paddle, Commander Roderick Dew, received advanced wages, yesterday, at Spithead.

Captain Gordon, of the Duke of Wellington, will relieve Captain Hay in the Victory this morning at Portsmouth. The latter officer will be flag-captain to Rear-Admiral Houston Stewart, C. 8., second in com mand in the Black Sea fleet. We are ♦ery sorry to hear that Commander Booth, of her Majesty's steamer Nile, has applied to be super seded. The fatigue he has undergone in fitting out the Nile and the hard work of the Baltic campaign have wrought upon his health, and reluctantly forced upon him the step which sheer necessity alone induced him to take. The harbinger, screw steam transport, one of the squadron of the General Screw Steam Navigation Com pany, Commander Sharp, arrived at Portsmouth and went into harbour yesterday afternoon at 1 to laud wounded officers an men from the seat of war, but the latter were ordered by Government telegraph to be taken to Chatham k the ship. She sailed from Scutari on the 12th ult , at 5 p.m. ; arrived at Malta on the 13th, at 12 p.m. ; left on the 19th, at 8 p.m. ; arrived at Gibraltar on the 26th, at 5 p.m. ; left on the 28th, at 4.m. ; and arrived at Southampton on Monday, the sth inst., at 4 p.m., where she remained all night, and left yesterday, about 11 a.m., for Portsmouth Harbour. The Harbinger brought home the following officers and men :-Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Thomas Troubridge, of the 7th Fusiliers, with loss of both feet at Inkerman ; Major Gubbies, of the 85th, wounded in the elbow at Inkerman ; Captain Macdonald, of the 95th, wounded in 17 places by the bayonet and one gunshot wound, which brought him down ; Captain Marsh, of the 55th ; Captain Bush, elbow joint shot away at Inkerman ; Captain Fitzroy, wounded in the knee at Inkerman ; Lieutenant Arquimbau, R.N. ; Lieutenant P.

The invalids and wounded men were from the follow ing regiments :-Royal Artillery. 2 ; 2d Dragoon Guards, 2 ; Bth Hussars, 1 ; Enniskillen Dragoons, 2 ; 11th Hussars, 1 ; 13th Light Dragoons, 1 ; .17th Lancers, 3; Grenadier Guards, 7; Scots Fusilier Guards, 1 ; 7th Fusiliers, 1 ; 19th Foot, 3 ; 20th, 2 ; 21st, 1 ; 23d, 3 ; 30th, 5 ; 33d, 7 ; 41st, 1 ;44th, 1 ;47th, 6 ; 49tb, 2 ; 50th, 1 ; 55tb, 1 ; 57th, 6 ; 63d, 1 ; 68th, 4 ; 77th, 2 ; 79, 1 ; 88th, 2 ; 93d, 2 ; 95th, 1 ; Ist Battalion Rifle Brigade, 3; 2d ditto, 2. These cases were all doing well, under the care of Staff Assistant-Surgeon Bay field, in charge, and Lieutenant Cahill in command, and will leave for Chatham this morning without being disturbed. But why could not the ship have been despatched froze Malta to Chatham direct, instead of first going to Southampton on Monday, waiting there all night, then going to Portsmouth yesterday, and staying there all night, finally leaving for Chatham this the third day after their arrival in Eng.and ? Major-General Sir Frederick Smith, RE., and Staff, and the usual officials superin tended the disembarkation of those officers and others lauded at Portsmouth. Captain Fitzroy, Lieutenant Twysdun, Mr. Dundee, Dr. Menzies, A. S Flower, Mr. Koesil, Mr. Thomas, and Captain Curtis landed at Southampton, and the other wounded and invalid offi cers at Portsmouth dockyard. Major Gubbins, Captain Bush, and Captain Macdonald were carried to the George Hotel, and Sir Thomas Troubridge, who is the son of Nelson's Captain Troubridge, and nephew of Vice- Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8., Commander-in- Chief at Portsmouth, was carried in an invalid chair by a fatigue party to the Admiralty-house. As soon as the Harbinger was reported in sight Sir Thomas Cochrane went out to meet her in the Fire Queen steam tender. Rear Admiral Death and numerous other officers were quickly on board as soon as she came into harbour. She spoke the following ships on her passage home --Jan. 15, off Cape St. Angelo, the steam transport Imperatrice (No. 150), with troops for the Crimea, all well ; Jan. 21, exchanged numbers with the luverary Castle ; 25th, passed, off Cape de Gatte, the schooner Isabella and the brig Odessa, bound for the eastward ; 27th, passed the Sultana (No. 32 sailing transport), with invalids, home ward-bound ; the Clyde and the Lady Eglinton trans ports were at Malta, outward bound. Assistant Quar termaster-General Dalgetty personally attended Captain Macdonald to the George Hotel, by his litter. The sick and wounded landed from various ships lately at I''ortsmouth, and quartered in the new garrison hos pital, are all.noing well under the-skilful and unremitting attention of Dr. Lawson, Ordnance Medical Officer, and Assistant-Surgeon Henry Bishop, of the Royal 'Wilts Militia (a volunteer, who considers himself amply re warded by the thanks and smiles of the gallant patients for anything he does fur them). It will be pleasing to their friends and the service to know that the wounded are most assiduously and tenderly cared for. There are many badly wounded from Alma and Inkerman, as well as Balaklava, and these are going on very favourably towards convalescence. Thedysenterio and fever invalids are much the worst looking of the whole, but all are most grateful for their treatment at the hands of their medical attendants, and especially for the kindness of Lady Smith and Major-General Sir Frederick Smith, R.E., Acting Lieutenant-Governor of Portsmouth, who go repeatedly, and with their own hands dispense liberally such delicate luxuries as jellies, custards, blanc manges, rusks, biscuits, buns, sponge cakes, and such like relishing confectures. Lady Smith also gives those who can write memorandum-books, pencils, postage stamps, and paper to write to their friends. The transport-ship Talavera, Captain Scott, which left Constantinople on the Bth of December, and Malta the 4th of January, arrived in Plymouth Sound yester day afternoon, having on board 19S non-commissioned officers and men from various regiments, under the com mand of Captain O'Brien and Lieut. Harcourt, 39th Regiment, invalided, sick, and iu medical charge of As sistant-Surgeon A. T. Sylvester, of the 23d We:sh Fusi liers. Only two deaths have occurred on the passage viz., Private Carter and Private Ross, both of the Scots Fusilier Guards ; but the wounded have suffered much from the severe weather during the passage from Malta. A succession of heavy gales was experienced in the Mediterranean from the westward and atter leaving Gibraltar from the eastward. The Talavera landed at Malta Commander Lloyd, Midshipmen Bailie and Gooch, and 59 seamen, invalids, in charge of Dr. Evans, R.M.; and outside Malta spoke the transport Sultana, No. 32, going in with invalids-all well. LA IV INTELLIGE.NCE.—Feb. G. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. CURLING V. TOSIMON. Mr. Watson, Q.C., Mr. E. James, Q.C., and Mr. Lush wen: counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Sergeant Wit• kills and Mr. Petersdorff for the defendant. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover compensation in damages for a libel, contained in an anonymous letter, sent to the committee of the Junior United Service Club, alleged to be composed and pub lished by the defendant, imputing to the plaintiff that he had been forced to retire from the Corps of Gentle men-at-Arms fur peculation and conduct unworthy of an officer and a gentleman. The defendant pleaded not guilty. The plaintiff, Captain Curling, is a gentleman who formerly was the adjutant and clerk of the check of the Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms, and is now a captain of the Royal London Militia. The defendant, Captain Tompson, is also an officer in the same regiment of mi litia, and was also.fermerly in the Corps of Gentlemen at-strine. In the raoeth of August, 1853, Captain Cur ling was proposed as a member of the Junior United Service Mir, The ballot came off in July, 1854. Just after the ballot commenced, at about ten o clock in the morning, the secretary of tho club, Mr. Hatch, received Rn anonymous letter in the following terms . " Artillery House, Finsbury, City, July 5, 1854. "Several members of the Hon. Artillery Company pre sent their respects to the committee of the Junior United Service Club, thinking it is only right to inform the cons mittee that it is their intention to direct the attention of the Lieutenancy of the City of Lonclonito the fact of the Court of Lieutenancy having appointed a man to fill a responsi , blo situation who is not duly qualified or at all fit to hold such appointment. We are in a position to prove that Captain Bailee Curling, of the Royal Loudon Militia Regi ment was forced to retire from the Corps of Gentlemen-at , Arms for peculation and conduct unbecoming of an officer and a gentleman, to avoid public scandal and the confisca tion of the comini•sion to the Crown. Ma.* Cooke and other officers of the corps forbore to press the charge. During his (Curling's) clerkship to the corps he canvassed the lieutenancy personally, begging votes from men who only knew him as a man holding some appointment at St. James's. Had any member known he (Captain Curling) was a man who should hold up his hand at the Old Bailey, it is not probable ho would have stood in your lists a s " Capt. BUNCH CURLING, Royal London Militia Regiment, "P.S. Captain Curling has thought proper to villify and abuse the Honourable Artillery Company, having i n common with the officers of the regiment, received every attention from our corps, and used our house during the trainings. However, we hold ourselves to be his supe riors in courtesy, as we now mean to be in justice to so ciety at large. " To the Committee of the Junior United Service Club." On reading tine letter Mr. Hatch bander' it to the com mittee of the club, by whom it was handed round to the members present, and the result was that out of 150 votes Capt. Curling had 40 black bails. On Capt. Curling !emu ing the result, he applied tothe committee of the club, and obtained from them the letter in question. On seeing the letter Capt. Curling immediately thought that the letter was in the defendant's handwriting, although disguised ; he immediately put it into the hands of Mr. Nethereliff, the faesimilist, of the British Moseuin, a gentleman skilled in the comparison of handwriting, and gave him s Joie letters of the defendant which he had received from him some time before, and Mr. Netherciiff at once g ave it as his opinion that the letter was in the handwriting of the defendant. It was then put into the hands of other ger. tlemen .killed in handwriting, and they al camp to the same conclusion. The motive which, it was I imputed, must have induced the defendant to write the libel was but slight. It appeared that in the year 1850 Captain Tompson sold out of the Corps of Gentlemen-at- Arms, and Captain Curling acted as the friend of the defendant, as also of the purchaser, and 0119 condition of THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 7, 1855. 9 .,.- the agreement was that the accoutrements of the de- • reialant should be handsel over to the purchaser of his cortinissio». Sri:no disputa arose about this, and the plaintiff wrote to him on the 'subject. and also asking fur two guineas due to the mess fund. To this the defendant wrote a scurrilous letter, denying that he was indebted to "the mess, as he had never belonged to it, and saying that those who lived in glsss houses should not throw stones, and then went on to impute that the plaintiff had taken a fee of 51. ss. on the transfer of the commission, which he had no right to do, as his late Majesty William IV. had directed that it should not be taken, and that he would institute an inquiry into it. Subsequently to this there was such an inquiry at the Lord Chamber lain's-office, which terminated in plaintiff's entire exo neration from all blame in the transaction, and his cap tain, Lord Sandwich, gave him a testimonial to that effect. Subsequently to this the plaintiff became a cap tain in the Royal London Militia, in which the defendant was then a captain ; but it appeared that they always met as strangers, only speaking on matters of duty. In support of are plaintiff's case, the plaintiff, the ad jutant of the Royal London Militia, the pay-sergeant of the defendant's company, and others, were called, who spoke to the anonymous letter being in the hand writing of the defendant.. After which several skilled witnesses were called, who spoke to having compared the anonymous letter with several genuine letters of the defendant, and that they believed the anonymous letter was in his handwriting, although disguised. For the defence, the defendant was called, who swore that the letter in question was not written by him, or with his knowledge, and he further swore that he did not even know that the plaintiff was a candidate for admission as a member of the Junior United Service Club. Several witnesses were also called who, on being shows the anonymous letter, swore that the letter was not in the handwriting of the defendant, awl, in their opinion, did not resemble it. It was also most eloquently urged by the learned counsel for the defence that there was an entire absence of motive in the defendant to commit so serious an offence as_ that imputed to him, and that before they could find for the plaintiff, they must find the defendant guilty of perjury. Mr. James, in the absence of Mr. Watson,replied upon the evidence adduced on the part of the defendant, and contended that a person who was base and dastardly enough to write such a cruel slander as that contained in the anonymous letter in question would not hesitate to endeavour to relieve himself from the consequences of hie act by coining there to commit the crime of perjury by denying that he wrote the letter. Lord Campbell, in summing up, said that this was a most important ewe both to the parties and to the public. It was perfectly clear that the letter set out in the de claration was a libel. Indeed, the eloquent counsel ow both sides had Equally reprobated the conduct of any person who could write such a dastardly attack on ano ther behind his back, and thus do him a most irreparable injury. The falsity of that letter was admitted on all hands, and the only question in this case was, who wrote the letter. That was a question peculiarly for the jury. The present case was the first that had been tried in this court in which the provision contained in the 27th sec. of the new Common Law Procedure Act came into ope ration. That was a most salutary provision, and enabled a jury to institute a comparison as to the handwriting el a document alleged to be in the handwriting of the defendant with any other document proved to the satis faction of the judge to be a genuine document in the handwriting of the defendant. In the present case the plaintiff had made out a most serious case for the consi deration of the jury ; but it was for them to say whether that case had been answered by the defendant to their satisfaction. No doubt it was for the plaintiff to make out his case, and if the jury entertained any reasonable doubt on the case they were bount to find for the de fendant. His lordship then went most carefully through the evidence, after which The jury retired to consider their verdict. On their return they found for the plaintiff—damages, 2001. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Feb. 6. BOW-STREET.—Frederick .Drem, a solicitor's clerk, was brought before Mr. Henry under a warrant issued for his apprehension on a charge of having feloniously axed and used certain stamps upon a document, such stamps having beau previously used on, trod afterwards removed from, another document. Mr. Earwaker, of the solicitor's department of the Stamp-office, who appeared for the prosecution (which VMS at the instance of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue), stated the case, by which it appeared that, by an act passed in 1852, the lees payable on curtain pro ceedings in the Court of Chancery are directed to be col lected by means of adhesive stamps to be affixed to the various documents issued from that court, iu lieu of the former practice of receiving such fees by payments in money—the adhesive stamps so affixed being cancelled by the officer of the court on the document being passed by him. On the Ist instant the prisoner presented at Um office of the Record and Writ Clerks, in Chancery lane, a copy of an affidavit made by himself in a suit "Drew v. Drew," fur the purpose of having such copy marked as an office copy ; the document so presented had affixed thei eon the usual stamps intended to denote the amount of the fees payable in respect of it, but the attention of the officer being directed to the appearance of sonic of the stamps he detained the document, and the result of a further examination of the stamps led to the apprehension of the prisoner. Evidence having been adduced in support of the charge, the prisoner was remanded for a week to com plete the further evidence against him. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Return.) The mortality of London is still excessive, and the number of deaths, as now returned, exhibits but a small decrease on that of the previous week.
