Mr. NAPIER considered the difficulty of dealing with this question was, that the people of Scotland did not regard any religious ceremony requisite for marriage. He also objected to the facility of minors to cobtract marriage in Scotland, the mere fact of people of tender years declaring they took each other for man and wife being at present sufficient to bind them irrevocably for life. He thought this biil would not have the effeA of remedying the evils now complained of, awl therefore he should feel bound to support the amendment. Lord DUNCAN also supported the amendment. He found that this bill, while intended to legislate chiefly for the two border counties of Northumberland and Cum berland, would introduce the greatest possible confugion nto the whole law of marriage in Scotland. He was far from saying that some measure was not required to amend the existing law of Scotland, but it should be done in a comprehensive manner, and therefor he trusted the English members would assist him in eject ing the bill now before the house. Mr. DUNLOP supported the bill, on the ground that it would be at least a modification of the existing evils. Mr. WALPOLE considered the bill would fail in remedying the evils of the present law. The penalty proposed by the bill for contracting an illegal marriage was 101. for the first offence, and 501. for a second of fence ; he was sure that penalty would be willingly paid in most cases, and therefore, on the plea of putting down immorality, it would not at all grapple with it. He ad• mitted that the anomalies of the marriage law in Scotland were very great, and he trusted that the Lord-Advocate and the Government would take upon themselves to in troduce a bill that would assimilate the laws of marriage in Scotland with those of England. For those reasons he should be obliged to support the amendment. Mr. HEADLAM replied, contending that no ade quate argument had been brought forward by hon. mem bers who opposed the bill to show that it would not have the effect of at least mitigating the evils of the present system, and he should press the question to a division. Sir G. GREY said that with respect to the appeal made to the Government to bring in a bill to grapple with the whole subject of the marriage law of Scot land, he feared, judging from past experience of similar attempts, it would not be prudent for the Government to make any such pledge. A bill for that purpose had been brought in by a former government; but it was unanimously opposed by the whole of the Scotch mem bers and it was unsuccessful. But he regarded the present bill would affect merely the bumble classes, and would not touch those in a 11 izb er position who contracted the same sort of irregular mar riages. (Hear, hear.) He therefore put it to the hon. and learned member (Mr. Headlam) whether it was worth while to press the question to a division ? After a few remarks from Mr. INGRA.3I and Mr. J. G. PniLLIMORE, The house divided, when the numbers were— For the second reading 4O Fur the amendment, 143 Majority —lo So the bill was lost. ECCLESIASTICAL PROPERTY (IRELAND) as ay difficulty with regard to the transrniesion of the 1 tores, but with that the Secretary at War had nothing ' to do. By the Chairman—ln the opinion of witness it -would be advisable that the purveyor and medical officer should be made supreme over the whole departmeet. At Scutari there is about an equal proportion of paid nurses and ladies. By the Chairmen- -He found that the purveyor had been making stoppages from the pay of the men mistak ing his instructions, and made those stoppages as if the armor were in a state of peace instead of war, and as soota as witness heard of it, and shortly before he left offi.ce, he wrote out requesting the paytnaeter to return th e drawback. By the Chairman—He was in London during the 'whole of the recess, with the exception of two weeks in September, aid sometimes on a Sunday. There was no :communication but what was cemmueicated to his col leaaues who were all within a few hours distance. General Peel—What authority had you over the mili tie 1-1 had the same authority over the militia that I bad over the army—namely, a financial authority. Had you aey power to embody regiments or to select .regiments for embodiment?—No ; that was a matter •entioely in the hands of the Secretary of State. He mere ly recommended regirneete for embodiment to Lord Palr ierston. Towards the heginiang of November he got together a good deal of Information as to the best mode of recruiting the army, and he Caine to the conclu situ i that he should act with greater probability cf suc cess through the medium ot the militia than by any other means. He circulated a memorandum among the mem bers of the Government more directly interested in the subject, and my views having been adopted by the Go vornueent, when Lord Palmerston went to Paris for two days in November, he asked him to authorise the Home of rice to call out any regiments he might specify. He u. red that authority by calling out and embodying certain r egionents. By Mr. Layard—He had nothing to do with the raising of the foreign legion. He appointed Messrs. Hayter and Howell, because they were packers for the colonels. The firm of Hayter and Howell had been army clothiers for nearly one hundred years. This firm transmitted the whole of the free gifts transmitted to the Crimea-809 to Scutari and 403 to the Crimea. By the Chairman—He appointed these gentlemen on public grounds, and not because one of the gentlemen was brother to the secretary of the Treasury. At the time of the appointment he did not know of the rela ti( msfelp. The system in the 'War-office was extremely of ficie nt and worked well. All promotions were made fr. orr. merit'. i'lr. Lsyard—ln what relation did your department etand with respect to the Horse Guards ?—My depart ' went was purely a financial one. Do you know that Lord Hardinge was consulted by the Cabinet an to what took place i n th e E ast I—Cer r tainly. Did the Cabinet act upon the report of Lord Har dingy I—Lord Hardinge drew up schemes for the orga nisation of the army, which were acted upon. Not for operations in the field ? —Not Li any respect. The, state of things with respect to the hospitals at Scutari being such as you have described, did it timer to per, to inform Lord Hardinge that somebody had not t'oerie his duty I—l think Lord Hardinge perfectly agreed with me that somebody was to blame, but the difficulty was to lay our hands on the right men. Did you ascertain, In communication with Lard Her dinge, who that somebody was ?—Even to this moment I hesitate to fix the blame upon any ono individual. The Chairman—Do you think there are more than one 3—The public have the inn r-seion ter it the system was very much to blame, and that the alteratun of the system would remove the evil. Ido not believe, hoe - ever, that the difference) between one sy-tein and another is nearly so great a , between ono man and another. A bad system will wink well with a weed man, hut a good system will not work well with al inferior man. Tni consequence of the long peace no one has seen any mili tary operations on a large scale, and the various. officials ,were frightened at the responsithlity and expense they might incur.

' D , you think that the battles in which he was engaged in India were greater than the battles that have taken place during the last 20 years I—That is a matter of opinion. I should like to have your opinion. The object of the committee is, if possible, to lay the blame upon one man or men.—l think a few months' experience would do more good teas any mere change in the form of depart ments. The Chairman—You say it is better to have a bad system with a good roan than to have a good system with a bad man. But what would you do supposing you had a bad system and bad men too I—ln that case you must try and reform your system, and experience will soon show you who are the good men. Lord Seymour—The Duke of Newcastle expressed his approval of the manner in which his subordinates had discharged their duties. Were you satisfied with the - manner in which the various duties connected with your ' department were discharged 1-1 am bound, in grati • tude to the gentlemen employed in the War.office, to , say that I believ e it i s th e b es t const i tuted office under , the Crown. My subordinates worked with great zeal. I made great demands upon their time; their office hours were lengthened, but I never heard a murtnur. Never was a man better served by his subordinates than I was. The promotions in, that office go by merit, and not by seniority, though occasionally that rule has been departed from. But the result of the system' was not good. There was a constant strain upon every person employed, and whenever promotions were made I was met by reproaches and remonstrances from persons who considered themselves to have been passed over. Lat terly clerks have been iptroduced at the bottom of the list by means of examination. • Did you find, practically, that the separation of the Secretaryship of the Colonies from the office of Secre tary for War was a great advantage ?—Very great, indeed. In fact, it would have been impossible to carry on the war without separating the two offices. Did you make any proposal to Government for any further change f —ln the first place, I proposed to the Duke of Newcastle, with a view to correct cer tai n ev i ls, that there should be periodical meetings of the War De partment, the head of the military departments and my self, so that whatever orders were given should ,be given to each in the presence of all. The Chairman—Was that proposal adopted I—lt was ; but, subsequently, the Government cane to the conclusion that is would be well to give.these ineetings a more formal character. An order in Council was therefore obtained fixing the meetings, and puttting cer tain necessary limitations upon the powers of a military board. Lord Seymour—Are the committee to understand that, in consequence of the organisation of the various departments hit being satisfactory, you recommended these periodical meetings I—l was desirous that the whole financial bu , iness of the Ordnance should be con sidered at a hoard such as I proposed, and that the powers of the Board of Ordnance should be confined to the mate , - - :e 1 , of the army. The plan was agreed to. I drew up a letter fr r the Duke of Newcastle to the Pre sideet of the Council, applying for an order in, council, but in the meantime a motion was male in the House of Commons, which terminated in the disruption of the Goyertiment. It was not intended that the board should have any executive functions as a hoard, but the whole power ated authority were to remain in the hag i ds of the Secretary ot State. The eierebers of the board were to advise with him, and to receive his orders in his presence. Such a system as that might have been adopted in August or September last ?—No, I think not ; because it is very important in matters of this kind not 'to make too sudden a disturbance of the existing state of things. A very small disturbance deranges the mettle(' of de partmeets, and it would not have been prudent to re model the whole without some experience as to what ought to be done. The change I proposed was this : That the Board should con -ist of the Secretary of State, who should be assisted and advised by the Commander in -Chief, the Master-General of the Ordnance, if there was one, a Commissary-General, and the Secretary at War. The Secretary at War would have exercised a wholesome check over the expenditure of the army, and would have moved the estimates, not only for the army, but for the Ordnance and Commissariat, and the House of Commons would have been enabled to obtain at one view the gross expenses of the army, with the exception of the materiel, the Ordnance remaining purely a manu facturing establishment. Would that have brought the War Department into something resembling the organisation of the Admiralty ? —Yea ; only I think the authority of the Secretary of State would have been more defined than in the Admiralty. Mr. Ellice— But you would not necessarily have made the Secretary of State a member of the Board ?—I think that where there is a Board the President of the Beard should always be there. I would not have had the busi nese of the War Department conducted by a Board, but all I proposed was, that the Secretary of State should summon the heads of various departments to give him their advice and receive his orders. The board would have consisted of the Commander-in-Chief to govern the army, the Master-General of the Ordnance to arm and equip the army, the Secretary-at-War to control the finance of the army, and a Commissary-General to feed the army. • Mr. Ellice—Entertaining these opinions, do yOuthink it was prudent just at the time the war broke out to render the machinery of the different departments less efficient than it had been during a time of peace —in point of fact, to attempt to carry on the administ ra ti on of the army without the Master-General of the Ordnance or a Surveyor of the Board of Ordnance I—The case of the Maeter•General was a peculiar one. It was thought that Lord Raglan was peculiarly qualified for the ser vicehe bad in hand, buyif he had been retained hero as Master-General the country would have been deprived of his services ; and, on the other hand, i there was r e officer of great experience who could be paced Sir at Hewt, head of the personnel/ of the Ordnance—namely, Ross. of the Sir Hew Ross has stated that the authority. H but that he (Sir Ross) Master-General is paramount, 1 . could not supersede the authority of the Board t Thomas Hastings states that according patent the Sir 0 his Lieutenant-General of the Ordnance had all the autho rity of the illaeter-General. But Sir Hew Roe. his statorth :t be bad not t h at authority ?—I should imagine that the Lieutenant-Ge neral, in' the absence of the had supreme authority. no committee rose M 1Q minute, to four o'clock, Mr. Sidney Herbert was examined by the Chairman. He stated that he I- 1 d the office of Secretary-at-War at, the breaking out of the war, and his being a Cabin et Minister in no way interfered with the duties of hi situ ation. The duty of the Secretary-at-War was that of a check on expenditure only. Ile had nothing to do with promotion or discipline otherwise than his consent being required in the event of such promotion involving in creased expense. The expenditure of the army was so complicated that it was necessary the office should be kept up. When it was decided on commencing hostili ties instructions were given to Lord Raglan for the de, fence of the Balkan, it being understood that Seba , to'dol would be attacked, that being the object for which the British army was despatched to the East. The p cep a . rations made for the army were not with a belief that the army would winter in the Crimea, but the place be taken by a coup de maim. Admiral Boxer was sent out to superintend the harbour arrangements, and Dr. Andrew- Smith the medical department. He had no authority over the medical department, other than with reference to finance, and Dr. A. Smith acted direct from the Horse Guards. The first time he interfered with the medical department was in the difference that existed between Dr. Smith and Dr. Guthrie, respecting th , ', ap pointment of regimental surgeons instead of staff sur geons. As circumstances turned out it would have been better to have adopted the latter plan, as suggested by Dr. A. Smith. After the statements which appeared in the public press with respect to the state of the hos pitals at Scutari, and letters sent home, part of w'aich would bear contradiction, but sufficient remained u ncan tradicted as would condemn the system, Dr. Hall was sent to inspect them after the battle of Alma, and he gave the Government a very flourishing account of them. By Mr. Ellice—lnstead of there being one supreme head over the hospitals, and all orders and instructions coming from him, there was a large medical staff giving instructions to different parties. Would it not liave been better to have had one person to direct the whole ? —So there was after, and Lord Wm. Paulett was sent out. By Mr. Ellice—lt has been stated by Mr. Stafford, who visited the hospital at Scutari, that when he saw the lamentable state of things there he spoke to Major Sillery, the commandant, and his answer to him was that he was an officer without fortune, and having a large ;family he shrunk from the responsibility of giving any orders that might subject him to pecuniary embar rassment. Was that such a state of things as ought to have existed ?—No, certainly not. The hon. gentleman then read letters he forwarded to Major Sellery with reference to the state of things exist ing at Scutari, complaining of them, but at the same time making allowance for his being in a strange coun try, and referring him to Lord Stratford de Redcliffe for money and assistance under the circumstances, and he hoped his letters would have bad the effect of benefitting the service. It might, he said, have been more correct for the Minister of War to have written to Major Sillery, but then the question of expenditure came under his depart ment. With reference to the management of the hos pitals in the Peninsula under the late Duke of Wel llington, and that of the hopitals at Scutari, the case was very different. In the former case the hospitals were under the duke's hand, as it were, being in the same country ; whereas Lord Raglan was in one country, and the hospitals in another, anal he could only act in accordance with the reports made to him, notwithstanding the period occupied in communi cating with the hospital in each instance must have been about the same. It was extremely difficult to come to a soundconclusionastothe truth or falsehood of the reports from the Crimea, and instanced the case of a letter being inserted in the papers, purporting to come from Miss Nightingale, complaining of the want of lint at the time she wrote the Government requesting them not to forward more, having too much in store. When Lord Raglan was sent to the East, he had full powers con ferred on him in controlling the army and it& depart ments. Immediately on Major Sillery's inefficiency being discovered, the Government proceeded to find a sub stitute, and a gentleman was sent out. There was a larger number of medical men with the army than had before been sent with a similar number of troops. He did not think Lord Raglan ought to have been so well acquainted with the state of the hospital at Sctitari as he (Mr. S. Herbert) was, becaase he got information from private as well as official sources. By Mr. Ellice—Lord William Paulett was! sent to Scutari after the mischief had been done? After it had begun. The army being separated in the field it was necessary to have many persons communicating with one another. By Mr. Layard —Was any person recalled or repri manded for anything that occurred at Scutari I—Dr. Menzies was withdrawn. That was from ill-health t Do you think it was right when a person was found incompetent to allow him to be removed on the specious plea of ill-health I—Tbat depends on circumstances. Dr. Menzies is a veil , clever man in his profession, but he has not the gift of organisation. D►d the Government look out for proper The following is a more detailed account of this dread ful and fatal w:eck than has yet been published : One of the must distressing and rue'ancholy cases of shipwreck ever remembered on the west, rn shores took place on Thursday night last, on the Manac'es Rock, off Keverne, on the coast of Corn wad. Tne unfortunate barque, the John, ot Plymouth, Captain R iavle, left Plymouth Sound on the attein ion 01 Thursday, bound for Quebec, having on board 149 adult passengers. 98 children, and 16 'ultras, together with a crew, in al, of 19 ; making the total number of s ells on board 232. The passengers were principally from the north of Devon, the great source of American emigration in the west of England; nu fibers from other parts of that county ; and the remainder from the counties of Cornwall, Dorset, and Somerset—in fact, she was considered what is termed a west-country ship, Numbers of the friends of the unfortunate passengers accompanied them to Plymouth to bid a farewell, and, as the melancholy sequel proved, a la-t adieu to many of those whom they loved and respected. The departure of the ship was witnessed and cheered by numerous persons assembled on the Hoc. She left the Sound at four p.m., on the top of ebb tide, with a favourable wind off the land ; and all bid fair for a rapid m a d prosperous voyage down Channel. How these hopes were blighted it appears impossible to say, so varied are the accounts furnished by those who have been spared to tell of the catastrophe ; all seem, however, to unite in a complaint of mismanagement against the captain, and so embittered were the survivors to‘fards him that it is stated the coastguard were obliged to afford him protection from their fury. But whether this anger arose from a belief that the accident was the result of inattention on his part —or that the captain and crew saved themselves, as stated, to the sacrifice of the pas sengers —or, in fact, what gave rise to this angry feeling in all, it would be wrong to say until evidence shall be taken, as it may be easily imagined that parents made childless, husbands widowers, and children parentless— men who had left home full of hopes for the future, and most of whom, even if free from the sad embitterment of loss of wife, husband, or child, had lost all the wealth probably they were possessed of in the world, would give vent to complainitigs against one to whose charge they had entrusted both life and property. The scene when the vessel struck, as may be antici pated, was most distressing ; the utmost cai fusion pre vailed, and most of those on board gave themselves up in despair. The account rendered by one of the pas sengers is most heart-rending, though of the chsi ac ter of all similar disasters, except that flu inai, sympathy was in this case the more excited from the number of children on board, and from the extraor dinary efforts cf their parents to save them from the death impending. One of the passengers, William Walter], a man of apparently sickly and delicate con stitetion, succeeded, as the vessel settled the water, in taking his wife and six children into the rigging one by eue—tae youngest iinfortueately fell from the mothee's arms into the sea ; t± - v father, though unabh to nwiin, pluuget after it, hut failed in his noble effort to save his child, and with difficelty regained the ship. Another, William Clermo ee, aho had a wife and ten children on b 'art, aiterepteri to raise he 6 youio-. , t of them into the rigging by the aid of a "sheet," with which he bad tied them tegether. liatertunately he :,;lied in hi, efl,•rt-, , , arid the whole six were damned. Sernuel Rogers, a bey, aged 15, (me of the etaier pessengers has lust his father, mother, two broth, rs, a sister, and a cousin. Henry North, saved, lost his wife arid three children. As far as we can glean facts from parties on bolted, it appears that ail went prospereusly t 11 ale Jut half-past nine, when they nettle the Faineoutli fight, t'ozi captain hm el pointing it out to one of the passengers on deck. Ju4 at this time the second mate aas tryieg to sight ti's Lizard light, amid he asked seine of the passengers it they could not see the reflect on of the light in the sky ; they replied they could not, when the captein said he could not either, but they would see it fast enough when they got there. It was the second mate's watch, and the captain shorty afier went below. Ate ut tee o'eleck the mate came on the poop and asked the passengers if they had seen the captain, and tie being asked what he wanted the captain for, lie said lie (the mate) thought they were a deal too nigh land. Sh rtly after this the captain came on deck, and what the mate bad stated, "that they were getting too elese on land," was re ported to him ; the captain pooh-poohed the report. Soon afterwards some one forward sung out "rocks," and almost immediately the vessel struck with vio lence, so much so that she bumped over the rock, and then struck with still greater force upon rocks further in ; the captain 'was then distinctly h ear d t o cal out "run her aground." The vessel then had all sail on her with great way, as she was when the accident happened going eight or nine knots, and though ran aground the sea washed her off again, and she ran down the coast fur some distance. An attempt was then made to bring her up by letting go her anchor, when she grounded heavily broadside on. Attention was then directed to the boats—of which had she four on board, three on deck, and one over the side—the captain, four seamen, a boy, and one passenger jumped into the tatter boat and called out to lower, but boding no one answered the call, the captain returned to the deck of the vessel, when the boat was lowered. On her touching the water it was found there was no plug in her, and she was with out thowle pins. While they were waiting to supply these deficiences her tackle became unhooked, and the boat drifted off from the vessel without the captain. The men put their knives in for thowle pins. and the passenger his German pipe for a like purpose, and they pulled out to sea to get round a point of rocks over which the breakers were rolling heavily. When they had wea thered this point they pulled for the land, on nearing which they saw a light. Not being able to find a landing place they called aloud for help, when they were heard by the son of Lieut. M`Lean, of the coast-guard, who pointed out a place of landing. Immediately the alarm was spread that a vessel had struck on the Manacles. An attempt was then made to pull out some of the coast guard boats without success, from the dangerous cha racter of the coast. The passenge r w h o h a d got on s h ore was taken by the coast-guard people in their attempt to put out to assist the vessel, in order to direct them where she lay, those of , the ship's crew who got ashore posi tively refusing to lend even this assistance. -Unfortu nately the boats could not reach the vessel, and were compelled to return to the shore. They postponed all further efforts till the following morning, when, going further up the coast to a more favourable place of embarkation, they reached the vessel, which was then not above 200 yards from the shore. During the whole of this time, the crew being for the most part intoxicated, nut a single effort was made to save the pas-angers by either captain or crew. Some of the passengers attempted of themselves to get the oetter out ; in so doing toey stove her bottom and lust the boat. The tide at the time the vessel struck was about two-thirds ebb, and when she sunk she filled with water, but the decks were ery, and if assistance had been rendered at this time ail might have been safely landed. Unfortunately, for the want of some directing mind, this opportunity was lost, and on the returning tide some portion of those on board got into the rigaing, the crew getting in the tops, while a large number ot the passengers took shelter in the long boas—the boat was floated out of the chocks and beaten across the deck against the bulwarks until she was knocked to pieces, and the whole of her living freight either crushed or drowned. The rising tide soon did its work, %Nash ing the unfortunate people off the decks and out of the lower rigging, most of them having from cold and suffer ing lost even the little energy necessary to make a fur ther ascent up the rigging. In the morning the sur vivors were taken off the wreck by the coast guard and landed at Coverack, St. Keverne, when they met the most hospitable reception from the inhabitants. One of the passengers, Mr. E. C. Hele, of Dawlish, being provided with a life-belt, swam ashore in the night, and he declares, that had the boats been lowered when she struck all might have been saved. Another of the passengers, Mr. Knuckey, lately returned from Australia, lost 5001. of his earnings, but succeeded in taking ashore 700 sovereigns in a belt. Elizabeth Pearce and Mary Ann Penman, two of the parties saved, left the service of Mrs. Hector, 2, Albany-place. Another passenger among the fortunate survivors, who left the dockyard to emigrate, as if foreseeing the chance of calamity, asked for a week's leave only, instead of his discharge from the service. This would have expired to morrow ; he now returns in time to retake his employ ment. Seventy-six of the bodies of the unfortunate people were buried in 36 coffins on Sunday, in St. Ke- Verne churchyard, relations being buried together. Immediately the melancholy intelligence reached this place it was telegraphed to the Admiralty and to the r e e mg et i ed ra s ti i o r n vv c i o l m lia m m iss p io a n rk er e s ; upon w , the hich the fomrer d commander-in-chief, to i despatch the Avon, Second Master Veitch in command, to the scene of the disaster, and which returned to Fal mouth last evening, bringing a number of the passengers saved. The emigration commissioners also directed Lieutenant Carew, R.N., agent at Falmouth, to proceed at once to the wreck, and tnat gentleman left on Satur day evening. The Board of Trade also despatched an officer to institute an inquiry into the circumstances of the wreck, under the provisions of the new act, which came into operation on the let instant, Commander Bald win Walker, of the Coast Guard, having made the pre liminary inquiry as the act directs. In the interim the coroner of the district has been per forming the melancholy duty of holding inquisitions on the bodies thrown up by the sea. The evidence at the inquest showed that there was not a single palliating cir cumstance in favour of the captain. The vessel struck at ten p.m., and all were safe until daylight the next morning ; the captain forbade the passengers from moving, and in the case of a poor old man who fell over board from the rigging he refused to allow a party who volunteered to go to his assistance. The great loss of life was occasioned by so teeny of the passengers getting into the rigging that it broke away, the parties falling into the sea, those not able to swim, or not strong enough to regain the vessel, perishing. The Jury having heard all the evidence, in recording their verdict, observed that they considered the conduct of the whole of the crew, with the exception of a sea man named Elder, most blameable, arid expressed their n e antn e p h u ueloae(r r riyc p , soei r ) rdnilwseueaotwe which t inh i el t htert ship s t h:a h il e alava:eladairasdt rei boeci , eecn y ;,: a c::(e s i frliiosordistg, mendedguaaeneeui dds ,ri p : 8 :ti l l i hgtrt e alhh : tetiei with n: apdti signal shoulde t g ieße a r wico g ori u bnoe Cornwall county who pas have ge P survivedmoneyassenofg e h rt a : v fe e l e prdeleces deceased a v e sd e e d adt theirhtha the i a , i , n t , be bt: i t ,t in o s f tances where survivors have passages s The la re a ege t eflpa, s) B ; bsijo:vadewectnskni again, rgh . not been repaid.

LATE FIRE AT MR. SCOTT RUSSELL'S, -SERIOUS CHARGE OF ARSON.- Layton Edward Hooper, 26, a respectable-looking young man, lately employed as a shipwright in the ser vice of Mr. John Scott Russell, and residing at No. 5, George-street, Limelsouse-fields, was brought to the Thames Police court yesterday- by Mr. Superintendent Howie, of the K division, charged on suspicion of hav ing set fire to certain pieces of timber, with intent to destroy a floating battery on the premises of his late em ployer.

Mr. Thomas Frazer Campbell, storekeeper at Mr. Russell's works in the Isle of Dogs, stated that at nine o'clock on Thursday night last the timekeeper called his attention to a fire at the floating battery, a vessel which had just been completed, and was about to have been launched on the ensuing Saturday. Witness gave the alarm to Mr, Dixon, the superintending engineer, and then rushing into the yard perceived a strung illumination. ' As he approached the battery, the fire, which seemed to come from each side of it, met him with a strong rushing glow, as if running over some rapidly ignitable substance. The battery was 180 feet long, and there at first ap peared about 10 feet of fire under the bow. The vessel was plated with iron, and it would be difficult to set it on fire from the outside. The wood used in the prepara tion for the launch appeared to have been the first to take fire. Witness ran to see if their was any fire astern, and the flames pursued him rapidly, as if running along sdlne bituminous and easily ignitable pathway. The prisoner had been in the employment of Mr. Russell, and left about three weeks since, in consequence of a strike. He was highly esteemed as a mechanic, and dis charged himself, owing to the stoppage of some wages. He had worked about fourteen months ago at the Esk, a vessel built by Mr. Russell. No part of the alma merit was on board the battery when it was destroyed. Mr. J. Dixon, superintending engineer, went through every corner of the floating battery at 8 o'clock on the Thursday night, to see if any trifling jobs remained to be done previous to the launching. He left in 25 minutes, and there was then not the slightest appearance of fire. The men knocked off at a quarter to 8 o'clock. There were men employed to remove the chips and shavings every night, but some must necessarily remain, not, however, such a quantity as could cause the fire that had taken place. There was a solid mass o f woo d under the battery, which, though mingled with some damp wood, could easily be ignited. Th e fi re was o b viously from the outside. The launch-way was greased, but the fire did not appear to have commenced there. When witness came up there were about 50 square feet of flame, and it seemed to run up and down the battery, on the outside, as if it were maki ng i mmense h ops in intermediate suc cession. In the course - of the dab, in 'the town and on the Heath, the odds agst Habena ranged from 25 to 1 to 50 to 1. The origin of this movement, which was com menced on Friday last, has been canvassed with much severity ; for, notwithstanding the most determined op position which has been arrayed against her, she is re ported " well, and doing good work ;" but, be this as it may, the finishing blow was dealt this afternoon, for she was scratched at 3.40. _ _ ACCIDENT TO MR.

This bill went through committee, and was ordered to be reported to-morrow. MARRIAGE LAW AMENDMENT BILL. Sir W. HEATHCOTE resumed the adjouromtnt of the debate on the second reading of this bill. He "aid that the law at present existing with respect to mar riage might be considerably Unproved, and that the course that had been pursued in Germany might perhaps be adopted ; but he was afraid that the present bill was, t o say the least of it, a short-sighted legislation. He believed that the verses in Leviticus might be construed both for and against this bill. If, however, there was any doubt upon the subject, he thought that doubt should be given in favour of the law as it at present stood. Mr. PHINN objected to the proposition made by the right hon. baronet. He totally objected to the argu ment that those who supported the present bill were opposed to settled legislation. He believed that the law as it at present existed was totally against the edicts given by Holy Writ. Could it be doubted, looking at that holy work, that kings and princes who were living in polygamy had been looked upon with spe cial favour. (Hear, hear.) He believed that, looking at scripture generally, no man could find any authority for disputing the provisions of the present bill. He thought the passages in Leviticus and Deuteronomy were rather in favour than against the present bill. Years ago the law upon the subject of marriage was looked to in a very different light to that in which it was viewed at present. Formerly the different pro !sionis of every church were looked to ; tha t was not :l o n case at present. Marriage was now not It ."?leaiastical law, but a common question. (He nn ) to had been said that this bill bad been brought forw . rd lowero o tthe upper classes. His opinion was that t he tha n th ese s s suffered more by the present marriage law sent bill house and that the adoption of the pre the h ouse wool !ffect the best results.
