The inquiry was resumed this morning at the usual hour. Dr. Andrew Smith was recalled, and his examination was resumed by Mr. Layard—He stated that as soon as ho heard that the army was in scant of medical stores he sent out a quantity, but not in his official capacity. He had seen E tit em en ts in the newspapers to the effect that lint was much required at Scutari hospital, and immediately he sent out to ascertain whether there was any truth in these reports ; and, in reply, received a communication from the chief apothe cary ther3 to the effect that there was no want of lint nor bandagea, even after the demands made upon those requisites by the necessities of the wounded men from the *battle of Alma. He bad also received another communication, stating that the re ports in the newspapers were without foundation. A large portion of the medical stores sent out were left at Varna, and it was no fault of th 3 medical department that they were not sent on to Scutari. Mr. Layard—Are you prepared to eay that no medi cal officer was in fault f)r the want of these stores ? Dr. Smith—l can decidedly assert that such was the ca3e. I only regret that the medical officers did not show more determination with the authorities in urging npcn them that if they did not afford the supplies with more expedition and regularity they should consider themselves relieved of all responsibility in the matter ; and he wrote out to that effect. Mr. Layard—What authorities do you refer to? Dr. Smith—The transport and the military depart- meats. Mr. Layord—Do you know whether any remon strances were, in consequence, addressed to those de partments by the medical officers ? Dr. Smith—Yes, over and over ngaln. Mr. Layard—Was any representatior, to your know ledge, made to the Commander-in-Chief ? Dr. Smith replied that he could not say. Examination continued—The appointment of medical officers to superintend Scutari Hosittal were made by Dr. Hall, subject to the approval of the_Commander-in- Chief._ This appointment was not a permanent one. Whilst the officer was there he was only head of the hospitals for the time being by virtue of his seniority. This is a general regulation in the service. On his suggestion a commission was sent out to Scutari to inquire into the alleged mismanagement in the medical departments of the hospital. He at first proposed it as a matter of personal justice to himself, but the idea was afterwards adopted and carried into effect by the War-office. That com mission bad not power either to censure or to dismiss individuals, but they could make representations. That commission had sent in a report to the Government, but he had not seen it. Mr. Layard—To whom do you attribute the failures that took place in connection with the hospital at Smyrna ? Dr. Smith—l cannot say. Mr. Layard—Do you think that you, being the head of the Medical Board, could throw off the responsibility upon any indefinite persons ? Dr. Smith—l did not throw off the responsibility. asked permission to do so. Mr. Layard—Whose permission ? Dr. Smith—Mr. Sidney Herbert's. Mr. Layard—•Did Mr. Sidney Herbert then assume :he responsibility I Dr. Smith—l do not know ; I was not again con sulted. Mr. Layarl—Do you not think the public look to you as no responsible person in such matters ? Dr. Smith—l think the public look to me as the re sponsible person fur a great deg too much. Mr. Ellice—Do you know who gave instructions for the establishment of that hospital ? Dr. Smith—l think it was the War-office ; but I do not know. I was not in any way consulted in reference to that hospital, nor how it was to be carried on. I was only desired to do one thing, that was to provide a suf ficient supply of medical stores and medical comforts ; and I accordingly ordered, and continued to order, what I considered sufficient to meet the wants of the patients it contained ? Mr. Roebuck—Then the answer you received from Mr. Sidney Herbert you considered relieved you from all responsibility ? Dr. Smith--I certainly did. By Mr. Eiliee—He bad no written instructions or directions with regard to the establishment of that hos pital, nor had be anything whatever to do with the ap pointment of the medical officers. He would add one thing, however. When he understood be bad to pro vide medical stores, he thought there ought to be a pur veyor appointed at the hospital to receive and take care of them ; and ho therefore represented to the War-office the propriety of appointing a purveyor, and one was sent out in consequence. Hs (Dr. Smith), however, did not appoint him. Mr. Layard—Are you aware of any order having been issued by Dr. Hall vi Rh regard to the use of chloroform in the case of wounded men on whom it was necessary to perform amputation ? . . Dr. Smith—lt was not an order; it was simply a sug- gestion. Mr. Layard—Do you know that it created a painful impression on the minds of the soldiers ? Dr. Smith—No. lam not aware. I may say, how ever, that I entirely agree with Dr. Hall in the grounds on which be recommended that chloroform should not be used in severe operations ; and I am of opinion that in cases of bad gunshot wounds, which render amputa: tion necessary, the sufferer is much more likely to sur vive the operation if it is pea , rated when he is in full possession of his senses than if he were subjected to the additional depression which would be occasioned by the administration of chloroform. Dr. Hall was acquainted with the results of all the official inquiries which had been trade on the subject of cholera, and would no doubt have taken every precaution against that diseas.e. In deed there was no medical man in the United Kingdom who was more capable of giving good advice on the sub ject, or grappling with the disease when it did break out. Mr. Layard—Were the ambulance waggons submitted ;o you before they went out ? Dr. Smith—They were designed by myself ; and not withstanding . the objections which have been urged against them, I maintain that they are well adapted to their purpose. The only objection I have to them is their weight. Mr. Layard—After what you have heard and read relative to these waggons, should you recommend n con. tinuance.of their use ? Dr. Smith—l should. Examination resumed.—lt was the duty of the pur veyor at Balaklava to supply medical comforts for the use of the sick and wounded sent to Scutari in the trans ports. He believed Mr. Fitzgerald was the purveyor there ; but he had received no repqrts to the effect that the purveyor, whoever he •" 0 8" 11. ' 2 hilfilled his duty is this respect.

( From; a Second Supplsinent to Tuesday's Cazette.) WAR DEPARTMENT, MARCH 22. Lord Panulure has this day received a despatch and its enclosures, of which the following arc copies, ad dressed to his lordship, by Field-Marshal the Lord Raglan, G.C.B. Befcre Sebastopol, March 8, 1855. MY LORD,—The enemy continue to manifest grent activity in preparing tha work which I mentioned to your lordship in my despatch (No. 187), and are now bringing up platform timber and guns for the equipment and armament of it. Vast convoys are daily observed arriving on the north side of the town ; and I learn, from information entitled to credit, that the road leading from Simpheropol is covered with waggons laden with provisions and muni tions of war. This morning three British guns, placed in a battery overhanging the Tebernaya, opened upon two small stsarners anchored at the head of the harbour, and, after a fire of about an hour, obliged them to take re fuge behind a point. One of theta appeared to have sustained considetable damage, and is supposed to have been deserted by her crew. The weather was fine yesterday, and is particularly so to-day, and the country is becoinin,g quits dry. I have reason to hope that the sick are deriving mate rial benefit from this change. I have eEtiblishe 1 a Convalescent hospital on the heights immediately above Balaklava, near a fine spring of water. The Inspector-General of Hospitals entertains great expectations of the advantages that will result from placing the huts in so heal k j a locality. Lieutenant General Pennefather has resumed the command of the 2d Division ; and is, I am happy to be able to report, looking remarkably well. I enclose the return of the casualties to the 4th inst.

EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT IN A CHURCH.—On Sunday last a most unseemly occurrence took place at St. Mat thew's Church, Liverpool. For some time, it appears, differences of opinion have existed between the incum bent, the Rev. Dr. Hilcoat, who of late had been absent from Liverpool, and the Rev. Henry Cooke, who had been doing duty in Dr. Hilcoat's absence. In the dis pute between the rev. gentlemen it would appear the ma jority of the congregation took part with Mr. Cooke, while some antlered to the side of the incumbent. Dr. Hilcoat had intended to conduct the services on Sunday, haying previously announced his intpntion to do so. Ile ascended the reading desk; but had proceeded no further than " Dearly beloved," when nearly the whole con grega ti on rose simultaneously, and with few exceptions walked out of the church in a body. RAILWAY IXTELLIGENCE. NORTH BRITISH rtAILWAY. The half-yearly rneetzng of the shareholders of ills Eno took Owe at Edinburgh on Tuesday ; Mr. Hodo-Fon of Carhani, in the chair. . . The directors' report has already appeared in The Sun. The CHAIRMAN congratulated the shareholders on the termination of the trial before the High Court of Jus ticiary, in which two of their superior officers, charged with culpable neglect of duty, were honourably ac quitted, and the presiding judge had decihred that the directors of the company had done everything in their power for the safety of those travelling on the line. Ile concluded by moving the adoption of the report. A discussion ensued, in which the " mismanagement" of the directors was freely animadverted on, and various proposals and suggestions were made for the improve ment of the company's aff,drs. Mr. CHATTOR, one of the directors, moved as an amendment that out of the surplus of 6,0001. a dividend of is. per share be made to the ordinary shareholders. A lenXiened 'discussion took place, and on a show of hands being taken, the large majority were held up for the motion of the Chairman. Mr. CHAYTOR demanded a poll, the - result being—Per the motion, 1,109 votes ; for the amendment, 26'5 ; ma jority for the motion, 844 votes. Mr. CHAYTOU demanded a scrutiny, and scrutineers were appointed. A motion was then made to adjourn for a week, to receive the report of the scrutineer:7. and to postpon e till then the consideration of the number of directors to constitute the Board. This motion vas opposed by Mr. CHATTOR, Mri:o moved that the business be proceeded with. The vote was again taken, and this amendment also lost by a large majority. Mr. CIEVYTOR, amidst great impatience, demanded a pul!, and afterwards a scrutiny, on the question of ad journment. Mr. lirGLAB, moved that the adjourned meeting take place at York, but the chairman refused to put the mo tion. The meeting, at 5 o'clock, adjourned till the following Tuesday. IRELAND.

Within the last few weeks Schamyl has been rejoiced by the return of his son, who, eleven years ago, when of tender age, had the misfortune to be tali en prisoner by the Russians. Since then Schamyl had not heard of the boy, and long ago gave him up for lost. It appears, however, that when he was captured the Russian gene ral, Prince Woronzoff, sent him to St. Petersburg, where the late Emperur took a liking to the lad and bad him educated in the Military Academy. It happened last year that Schamyl, in some sudden surprise, took several Russian ladies prisoners, amongst whom was the Princess Tscharwaddy. They were con ducted to one of Schamyl's mountain fastnesses and con fined there as prisoners of war, but treated with the respect and decorum due to their rank and sex. The Governor-General of Tiflis sect a flag of trucei:to Sam myl to demand the release of the captured ladis, offer ing a large sum of money and the liberty of 'sorrel Cir cassian ladies who had been made prisoner: by the Russians. But Schamyl replied that if -his ton were alive, and the Russians would restore him, he would re lease all the lady captives. The Emperor Nicholas sent for young Schamyl, gave him his liberty, and fitted him out with the needful equipment to undertake the long journey. The exchange took place in the end of January. Yawn Schamyl, who, when at St. Petersburg, was not required to abjure he Moslem creed, has profited by h no is w in r v et d u l r u i n l et,derytoshdiesuorveartjotyb e e d ß f u a s t si he a r n a c n ap a i e t c a, o l m a p n l d i s La d s cavalier, with a comparatively civilised education. .it is said that he entertains great gratitude to the Emperor for his personal treatment, and it is not impossible that his return to his native mountains may have an effect on the future mode of Circassian warfare, and the introduc tion of more civilised manners and customs generally amongst his countrymen. The following was related by one of the Prus sian officers of the 6th Cuirassiers (Emperor of Russia), who were sent in the year 1842 to St. Petersburg as a deputation from the regiment to congratulate the Czar on his having been five-and-twenty years colonel of that corps. Nicholas, who received the officers with marked distinction, took them in propria persona to inspect his different military establishments, and amongst others to the School for Cadets, where all the lads were drawn up in the long ball. The Emperor, closely followed by the Prussian officers, walked down the line when he sud denly stopped before one of the youngest cadets, patted his cheeks with both hands, and then lifting him up kissed him most affectionately. Then, turning to the Prussians, he said, "Gentlemen, you will never guess who this lad is. He is the son of my most bitter enemy, the Circassian chieftain Schamyl, who has placed him under my care for hi s e d ucat i on I" A. SLEET! COMMONER.—After the body cf the House was cleared on Tuesday evening, some amusement was caused to the tellers and doorkeepers by the discovery of a member asleep in the gallery. The Earl of Mul grave called from the floor of the house, "Hi! wake up!" but without e ff ec t, th e hon. member's s lumbers were too profound to belightly disturbed; and he was only brought to a sense of his undignified position by a gentle shake on the shoulder from ene of the doorkeepers.

We are unable to state how he voted, or whether he submitted himself to that ordeal. 64, 4 i 581 8 83 ad 72 124 92 1/ 651 5 763 i i 74 8 97 8 99 i B i i 5 i i 84 3i 241 i (10 3 1 70 691 42i 724 2 49i 9 134 12i 18 17i MISCEI.LANHOUF. 25 173 Australian Agricult. 301 3131 31 20 Australse.Pcilic.Mail 10 all Anehmln.

We have already adverted to his- wcruP; ,txl trThrxeeter day's publicati on , b u t they rnu-t als6lbe %lowed:it con nexion with his action s. We learn that Count Zamoishi is erganising, at Shumla, a second regiment of Ottoman Cossacks in which Poles will be incorporated. This is very grave intelligence. It appears to be a portion of one of those half-measures in which our Government so especially delights. It is seeking for the odium of rous ing the subject nationalities with scarcely any of the profit. Count Zamoiski is one of the most able, important, and energetic men in Poland. In right of his wife, one of the most remarkable ladies in Europe, he possesses extensive landed estates; and the large fortune thence derived, added to the prestige attached to one of the stateliest and most ancient names in Poland, is likely to have as much influence among his countrymen as it is still possible for any single individual to exercise. But it is to be feared that the iron knuckles of the Russian Government, energetically exercised as they have been so long upon unhappy Poland, have at last almost suc ceeded in kneading it into part and parcel of Russia. We must not judge of the Poland of to-day by the Poland of romance. It can no longer furnish forth the intrepid legions of free chivalry which John Sobieski led to the relief of Vienna ; and a quarter of a century has now passed away since the unfortunate and ill-organised struggle of 1830. Our Government have withheld their assistance and countenance from the Liberals of Poland till it is doubtful how far the present generation era prepared to receive or able to act upon it. The Polish Liberals who have been tempted by their ma terial interests to remain in their country ore dis heartened and dispirited to a degree. They will not venture to act with energy likely to compromise them with a Power which has hitherto shown such determined sternness in the punishment of the disaffected. They will not lay themselves open to be decimated by official murders and ruined in crowds ; they will not incur certain disgrace and misery for their children and themselves without some positive pledge that we will support them to the end, that we will ob tain political justice for them at the conclusion of peace, and absolutely engage to protect all individuals who may engage with us in the struggle from the awful vengeance of their present masters. We must re member, also, that most of the youth and valour of Poland are already enrolled in the ranks of foreign armies. Go and seek for them among the hosts of Russia which are opposed to us, and you will often find that the arm which strikes strongest in the battle, the eye of the engi neer who points the deadliest gun, belong both to a Pole. You will find them in the paralysed legions of distracted Austria. You will find them spurring to the front among the French in Algeria, wherever courage may he displayed and distinction won. And we .must remember that the spirit of Polish independence which Lord Palmerston appears dis posed to invoke in a half-hearted, nervous, underhand way, is an agency to be employed with the utmost deli cacy. We waive the question how his coquetting with the Poles may be relished at Vienna and Berlin ; but ought he net to rJlect that in giving exclusive coun tenance to the Poles he runs the risk of rousing the bit terest envy and heart-burning among the other nationa lities ? The principles of Count Zamoiski are well known. They are Duro and patriotic, but they are exclusively Polish. He has written, and wrought, and intrigued as perseveringly against Austria and Prussia as against the Czar. He has toiled all his life with indefatigable energy at the resurrection of Poland as a kingdom. He has sacrificed his peace, comfort, and fortune in her cause. One of the most polished and refined men in Europe, he is consenting even at this time to bury him self and his family in the wretched, town of Shumla, in a cause that presents the merest shadow of a chance of being useful in the furtherance of the great object on which he has set his heart. But Austria scarcely looks upon his presence there with more resentment and sus picion than the liberals of Hungary and Wallachia. In a very clever (too clever) pamphlet which has been attri buted to Count Zamoiski, he has openly advocated the permanent cession of the Principalities to Anstaia as the price of the liberation of Poland. Helms openly advo cated the continued subjection of Hungary rather than raise a question which might interfere with the settle ment of Poland. These are the political sentiments which Cenut Zamoiski represents ; and though we speak of him with all honour as a brave and patriotic soldier, who has poared out his blood like water, and given all his energies to a noble oause—though we respect him as a man of genius, and admire him as an accomplished gentleman—we must venture t 3 hazard an opinion that it is a moot point how far it is prudent for us to accept his exclusive services at the present crisis. And what is more to our purpose, is it worthy of a British Minister to awaken in the breasts of the weakest of European nationalities hopes which, it is evident from his language, he does not himself entertain or warmly sympathise with ? Is it wise in him, while doing this, to repudiate all sympathy with the aspirations of nearer and stronger nationalities ? ADDRESS OF THE POLSIH CENTRAL DEMO CRATIC COMMITTEE TO THE FRIENDS OF POLAND IN THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT. 36, REGENT-SQUARE, GRA.T'S-INN-ROAD, LONDON. GENTLEMEN,— Mr. Phinn's motion concerning the restoration of Poland is, on Thursday next, March 228, to be trought before Parliament. Whilst there is not the slightest doubt that the Go vernment, who have already furnished Lord John Rus sell, England's Envoy to the Vienna Conference, with instructions relative to that question, will answer it with an assertion of untimeliness, and require to be allowed to wait for the result of Lord John Russell's mission, we should net be excusable in the eyes of our country— whose virtual representatives among you during her enslavement we are—if we did not lay before you the necessary consequences of such postponement, amount ing to a complete defeat of the object in view. The object of the Vienna Conference is the conclusion, if possible, of a peace based on an interpretation of the four points, on Lord John Russell's statement that the integrity of the Russian empire will be respected ; and, therefore, of a peace without the restoration of Poland. The object of Mr. Phinn's motion—the object of so many petitions since the middle of 1854—your object, and the sense of the country is, that no peace shall be concluded without a material guarantee for the future against the encroachments of Russia—that is to say, -without the re-establishment of a strong and independent Poland. Your object, therefore, is in open contradictio smith that of the Conf erence ; an d the latter is allowed to pre vail yours falls to the ground, and the chains cf Poland are rive tted again for an unlimited time, with the sanc tion and help of Great Britain. This is the effect which any dilatory answer of the Government to Mr. Phinn's motion will produce; as it will give the Conference time to conclude a peace, mur derous to Poland, fatal to English power, suptiemacy, security, and best interests Against such an effect, which only the most strenu ous and united efforts of all the friends of Poland in Parliament on the present occasion can avert, we do not invoke the blood of our martyrs, the iuffering-s of our prisoners, the miseries of 25 years of exile, the trt an.s of 23 millions of inhabitants, the moral and ii teller;teal de. h:lstme; t of several generations to come, as ar . uments in our favour—they are merely incentives for us—our justification in appealing to year, who are too well ac quainted with them to require their long enum !ration ; but we appeal to your sense of just ce, to the i interest; of liberty on the continent, to tbe moral axiom t hat even an insular nation cannot prosper by favouring roppres sion, and suffering wrong inflicted on others. What we want is, not only to be suffered ti' exit t again as a nation, and to work at our own welfa re and prosperity—we want to be allowed to interfei e as a nation in the present struggle, to throw our own weight into the balance of your victory—to secure ye ur tri umph—to put a speedy and glorious end to the war ; and therefore it is we want to avert for the moment a shameful and iniquitous peace, concluded, not under the influence of the victories of Alma, Balakiava, r i .land In kerman, but under that of crow - swarms hover over the deserted camp before Sebastopol. In Poland only can the Crimean disasters - be re. venged ; and to revenge them Poland offers her scythes ; but, overwhelmed with Muscovite troops, she ii's spell bound, until she hears the wasscry of England and France, and sees her oppressors diverted from thteir task of gaolers and hangmen. Let Parliament speak out to the GOvernment the word of Poland's salvation; let the Government revert to a legitimate and salutary , war po licy, and Poland is up and joins your armies, with such weapons as she can muster, and both are tz:iun Thant, and free to work at their own and the world's progress. _ We recko n , gen tl emen , upon your energetic `support of Mr. Phinn's motion.—We have the honour to be, with high consideration, Gentlemen, your most , respect ful, &c., the Members of the Polish Central litmocratic Committee, ST. WORCELL, L. ZI ENKIOWICZ, L. BULEWSKI $ A. ZABICHT. March 19th, 1855. FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT. PLYMOUTH, WEDNEI MAY. This morning at 10 o'clock Mr. Field, tide surveyor of her Majesty's Customs, left Milbay Pier in his gig, manned by Thomas Brockington and William Coglan, commission boatmen. The wind was blowing hard from west - south-west, and the tide on the turn, it having ebbed an hour. They were in pursuit' of a French brig going up Hamoaze, and shortly after hoisting their sail a small storm lug, which was reefed, sudden squall, which appeared to alarm Coglan so much they were overtaken by a that he omitted to let go the halyards when ordered. The beat in consequence I,roached to, and, meeting the ebb, filled to leeward immediately. The men were washed over, but some regained the boat three ti mes , Mr. Field providentially secured a cushion stuffed awnitdhocork,,(Weblyn) and Bentley floated on his back on two oars. Phipps, the skipper of the Medina yacht, belonging to the Turkish consul, lying at Millbay, went boldly away single-handed in his boat, rescued Weblyn, and conveyed Coglan to the beach and L ongroom Barrac k s , w h ere some artillerymen received him on their shoulders, and took him to a neighbouring house, but he was so much exhausted that he expired. A boat from the revenue cutter Eagle saved Mr. Field and Bentley. The body of Broekington has not yet been found. INSTALLATION OF LORD RECTOR OF MARISCHAL COL.
