CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday closed firmly, and paces of all kinds were quite as dear as last week. The sales were estimated at 8 ,000 bales (500 of which were taken for export, and 1,500 on speculation), comprising 120 Pornam and Maranham at bad. to 7d. ; 50 Bahia at 6/d. ; 150 Egyptian, 6O. to 7d. ; and 1,590 Surat, at to 41d. per lb. The Railway Share Market was steady, and closed at an advance on Tuesday's rates. There are ci rcums t ances of a nol i t i ca l c h aracter that often affect the monetary position of different countries, and Austria seems about to suffer from her duplicity towards the Allies.

(From the Times of this clay. ) The general view of the war at home and abroad is not enceura s ing. What we are doing in the Baltic is so far a repetition of last year, with a few mistakes which suggest that even this is only a rehearsal, and that per haps next year we may venture on a public performance. By the simple expedient of slinging a 32-pounder at an angle of 45 degrees we seem to have discovered the long range, but whether the discovery will be followed up in air lifetime is another question. In the Crimea there is an ominous suspense, which, as it inspires no fresh hopes in that quarter, sends us elsewhere. The only bright spot in that horizon is the expected arrival of officers who have seen a real siege less than 40 years ago. On the side of France we see great zeal and vast prepa rations, but have little means of knowing what fresh enterprise and intelligence is brought to bear on the war. In this state of things we are compelled to look at home, and consider, as a wise man will often do in his private affairs, what he has in himself to vet against the adversity or the deadness of fortune. Looking, then, at home, the last effort of the nation, the last throbbing of the pulse, the last convulsive move ment, was the debate of Tuesday night on Mr. Roe buck's motion. If that gentleman did no more than the flappers who wake the rulers of Laputa from their reveries, or the mad prophets who stalk the streets in sieges and plagues— if his cries were ever so frantic, irra tional, and vindictive, still we should respect him as the man to rouse the nation from self confidence, and, pos sibly, some day wake it from despair. The debate of Tuesday, then, is the last sign of national life ; it is not yet overlaid with the contents of yesterday's tele graph ; it is nor eclipsed by the bright promises of Aldershott, successful experiments at Woolwich, or news from the dockyards. We have already given uur own opinion that, unless some member hits on a truer or happier amendment than has yet been moved, there is no choice but to pass " the previous question." In fact, we are now in the hands of the Executive. The sooner these poor creatures are released from the war of words to attend to the war of blows—the sooner they are allowed. to forget the dark front of the Opposition bench, and think of the granite walls of Cronstadt and the earthern ramparts of the' Malakhoff, the better, we are persuaded, for the prospects of the war and the honour of our common country. But while, in the present state of things, it seems little else than madness to press the report of the Sebastopol Committee, either fir any political or any judicial pur pose, that is all the more reason why all parties should vie to'use it for the improvement of our naval and mili tary administration. The year has brought us back to the time when we were daily expecting to hear of the landing in the Crimea, and when, so to speak, all the world was before us. All the errors of the ensuing au tumn, winter, and summer were then in being. Though they lid not bear their baleful fruit till long after, they were already rooted and germinating. Every oversight, every false and presumptious estimate, dates really fieni that period. The delays of that time were afterwards fatal. So we cannot help looking at our Treasury bench, and our public offices, and asking whether now, as twelve months ago, there may not be another crop of blunders, presumptions, neglects, indifferences, delays, stupidities, insolences, destined to yield another hideous crop of disaster, and, may be, foul disgrace. Is it all safe under the broad forehead of Panmuge, all real vigi lance in the sleepless eye of Palmerston, or all wisdom in Wood ? Is the immense laboratory of British science in free and full operation ? Are the great mecha nical intellects which have covered the earth and the sea with the glory and the wealth of England, and which for all the purposes of peace and under the impulse of private enterprise know no limit to their power, at this moment employed for an object in comparably more important than railways and Crystal Palaces I Are we enlarging our mortars, reducing the draught of our gun-boats, multiplying our small craft, in viting all the sources of chemistry, applying ever?-'inven tion for the better housing, feeding, and clothing soldiers during the possible summer marches and the now certain winter siege ? The stereotyped excuse for what we have already suffered is, that nobody expected a winter cam paign—that we were to take Sebastopol by a coup de main—that we underratted the power of Russia and the strength of her great stronghold. The excuse is a very bad one, for no statesman— nobody, indeed, has a right to assume facilities and chances out of his knowledge or calculation. It is the excuse of the man who speculates for a rise in the funds because he cannot think they will fall. 'lt is the invariable apology of fools, and very often the defence of rogues. But let it pass. We only wish we could be sure that at this moment our War Minister and his colleagues are not taking for granted what they have no right to do, and expecting from Heaven, from accident, from the obstinate courage of the British soldier, from the clemency of the elements, from the cowardice or stupidity of the Russians, w hat they ought to place be yond the reach of doubt by the use of our resources at home. We do not mean that we can secure success ; but we can secure that, when Heaven gives us immense successes, as Heaven did last year, we do not throw them away, as we did last year. We could wish, then, that some independent mem ber. of the house would endeavour to condense in a speech the experience of the war and the lessons of the Sebastopol report, and press them home to Government, with the question whether they are with all diligence using all the resources at their command, and preparing for all emergencies? Let this be done with the most spe cific recapitulation, so ac to obtain from Government a distinct assurance that it is doing its best on every possible bead. Of course, we are not pressing for dis closures which may be useful to the foe, but we have 'a right to know that every engine is at work, every proved invention honestly adopted, every man of mechanical or other scientific attainments invited and encouraged to assist, every art and skill employed that British gene rosity can reward, and official jealousy or stupidity can drive away. There are other questions, too, that it no longer avails to omit. Mr. Cobden has correctly and publicly assured Government that the Emperor of Rus sia knows as well the condition of our militia, the slow rate of the enlistment into the line, and the quality of our new recruits, as any man in this kingdom ; and Sir John Pakington on Tuesday , evening made no un necessary scruple at mention;ng these facts. They are patent and undeniable, as all other facts of public importance in this country will always be. Let Ministers, then, be asked whether they are taking steps satisfactory to themselves, for keeping up an army in the Crimea. There always has been, and always must be, a peculiar difficulty in keeping up armies in the field in proportion to our rank, our pretensions, our wealth, and even our numbers ; for no other coun try in the world has so many separate drains on its male population. The navy and the mercantile marine, the colonies, manufactures, mines, and India, together with the army on foreign stations, make a difference of three quarters of a million between the males and females in this island. We have before suggested the use of native troops from the northern parts of india to replace the 50,000 British troops drawn from the European wants of this country. If the objections to this expedient be insu perable, or at least be thought so for the present, what other source has Government ? The matter admits of no delay, for, as we lost the advantage of the Alma for want of 20,000 more men, we may lose the next winter for the want of 50,000, at the cost of more than 50,000 afterwards. We are not asking for disclosures that may be thought inexpedient, but for assurances to satisfy the nation that Ministers are fully alive to the greatness of the necessity, and, as we confidently believe, the not less colossal character of our many and multi farious opportunities. It is our fall belief that we can, if we please, take up Sebastopol by handfuls and throw it into the sea. It is also our belief that England and France will do this, rather than retire from the struggle and leave Russia to pursue her unhallowed schemes of conquest. But we desire to see the work done expedi tiously, and with all the aid that valour, skill, and wealth ought to give us ; and we wish to feel some confidence that this is being done. ( From the Daily News of this day. It is certain that the division on Mr. Roebuck's mo tion will take place to-night. The country will note, with a view to future action, how every member votes, and who absent themselves. The public are completely masters of the ca, , e. They are in possession of all the evidence submitted to the Sebastopol Committee, and a great deal more. The subject has been canvas sed in Parliament and out of doors for months. Men's minds are made up, and every member who votes against evi dence and reason, and every member who shrinks from recording his vote, will have to account at the hustings for his conduct. The House of Commons cannot get rid of the difficulty by voting the previous question without irrecoverably stultifying and degrading itself. Months ago it voted, by a large majority, that the accounts of the condition of our army in the Crimea were of such a nature as to render a solemn inquiry into their truth indispensable. A committee was appointed, composed of members friendly to the present Ministers, of members friendly to their late colleagues, and of members opposed to both. The committee was instructed to inquire whether our army had suffered as much as was represented?—what was the cause of its sufferings?—and who were responsi ble for them t It examined persons who had been in tne Crimea and witnessed with their own eyes the con dition of the army ; persons employed in the different offices of Government connected with the management of the war ; and the Ministers who had taken a respon sible part in that management. After a protracted in quiry, the committee reported that the sufferings of our army had far exceeded what is the necessary consequence of warlike operations in the field ; that its extra suffer ings had resulted from the shameful mal-organisation of our Government departments, and from want of due fore sight and energy to amend or compensate for those defi ciencies on the part of responsible ministers charged with the conduct of the war. This deliberate judgment of the committee has been submitted to the House of Com mons, along with the evidence, written and oral, upon which it rests. It is now the duty of the house, after comparing the conclusions of the report with the evidence, to declare whether they are well or ill-founded ; and if they are well-founded to visit with its condign censure the offending Ministers. To shrink from the discharge of this duty will be, on the part of the House of Commons, to trifle with the patience of the nation, to omit the performance of one of its most vital• obligations, to abdicate its functions. Such conduct would convict the house, as a body, of frivolity, incapa , city, utter deadness to a sense of its important duties. It must say " Aye" or " No" to the declaration sub rnitted for his adoption by Mr. Roebuck, that a brave tinny hag been wantonly consigned to unnecessary self ferin.,!, and that the Ministers who hare douo this I have incurred the grave censure of the nation's repre .ientatives. (Front the Morning Herald of this d a y.) O ur co ntemporaries are ringing the changes upon the phrufso that our reprenutAtive motttutions are on their trial." If this be the case, and we are to take the pro ceedings of Tuesday as a specimen of what those institu• tions really are, certainly a more contemptible-looking or more self-convicted prisoner never appeared in the dock. The welfare and honour of the nation—the future fate of Europe—the foregone destenetion of one army and the prospective loss of another, were all at stake or under discussion ; and yet we will venture to say the Marylebone vestry itself never equalled the mouse of Commons on that night in self-contradiction, vapid non sense, false reasoning, and insincere conclusions. Upon what point are our institutions upon trial ? we would ask. Simply and solely as to their power to bring to justice a guilty and imbecile Administration ; and certainly (again judging by the proceedings of Tues day) we should say that a more complete case of inca pacity for good never was brought home to any institu tutions whatever. Why, the utmost exertion of them could not even make the criminals plead. There they sat, with theirfaces framedas it were of brass, so insolent and so shameless were they, merely putting up a succes sion of men of straw to - bring forward excuses, each more stupid and more false than that which preceded it. But the great offenders hardened their foreheads and kept silence, well knowing that there was nothing they could say that would not snake their case, bad as it was, infi nitely worse. An amendment, however, it may be said has taken place in the condicion of the army before Sebastopol. We utterly deny that any beneficial change has taken place in that army, save such as is attributable to the changes of the season. The army is still land-bound to the spot where official neglect bas rendered it imperative that it should remain, either to be decicAted by cholera or sacrificed in a succession of useless but bloody assaults. We can assure our readers that the impression in the minds of many gallant officers in that army, is, that the season of 1855 has been lost, as was the season of 1854, and that the feeling of many a bold and good soldier is that we are rapidly approaching a winter in which their sufferings will be as great as they were in that which has past. Knowing this to be the case, we cannot avoid stating our conviction that every member of the House of Commons who votes against Mr. Roebuck's motion practically sanctions the destruction of our second army. As for "the previous question," the voting for it simply amounts to a declaration on the part of the house that the representatives of the people do not care about the fact of an army having been lost, and that the " popular" branch of the Legislature condones the mis management, not to say treachery, by which that army was destroyed. Are hon. members prepared to ask the approval by their constituents of such a declaration ? LORD ,TORN RUSSELL AND M. DROUYN DL L'HUYS. The relations between the French and English Courts in all matters affecting the alliance are of such delicacy, and the conduct of the Emperor has been so loyal and straightforward throughout, that we would gladly have avoided all mention of the subject while dealing with the dregs of- the Russell controversy. The resignation of M. Drouyn de l'Huys and the motives which led to it have, however, been so misrepresented, that a word or two upon that point may, perhaps, serve to throw light upon the position held by Lord John Russell during the period which elapsed between his return from Vienna and his enforced resignation, The course pursued by Lord John Russell as British Plenipotentiary is well known ; that of his French colleague was ere follows : M. Drouyn de l'Huys, before quitting Vienna, forwarded to his Court no less than two reports, and several tele grapic despatches, in which he earnestly recommended the acceptance of Count Biles propositions. He re presented in very forcible terms the dangers which might attend a refusal, and, in short, frankly and openly backed the imperfect proposals of Austria. He arrived in Paris and bad, on the let of May, an interview with the Emperor, in the course of which he sustained his views ,and produced, as he thought, a favourable im pression. Certain slight modifications were introduced, and the Austrian propositions were finally transmitted to London by the Emperor's orders. They reached Lon don on the 2d of May. Let us pass over the discus sions which occurred in the British Cabinet on the re ceipt of these propositions. Sir George Grey, in lan guage somewhat ambiguous, told us on Tuesday night what took place—his meaeing, however, is clear enough. The Home Secretary is reported to have said—" The propositions of Count Buol were discussed during the week beginning the 31st of April and ending the 7th of May, and during that discussion Lord J. Russell stated his views ; other members of the Cabinet entered into the discussion, with the view of coming to the conclu sion most coducive to the interests-of the country, and at the close of the week I should have been prepared to assert in unqualified terms that the unanimous opinion of the Cabinet was that the interests of the country re quired that the Austrian proposals should be rejected." Lord John, who had brought home and advocated these propositions, nevertheless stuck to office, and his col leagues threw their mantles around him. He was not, however, a man who relies entirely upon the exertions of others to get him out of a scrape, but acted at once upon the prudent maxim that Heaven helps the man who helps himself. Hence that warlike speech which astonished the British empire and roused us all to heroic exertions. _ - - Meanwhile M. Drouyn de l'Huys at Paris was pur suing a humbler but a less tortuous career. On the 4th of May—we suppose after the Emperor had received the answer of the Cabinet of St. James—he notified to M. Drouyn de l'Huys that he must inform Count Walewski that the Au Irian propositions were rejected. This was on the evening of the 4th. The next day, at 8 o'clock in the morning, the ex-plenipotentiary placed his resignation in the Emperor's hands. He urged at the same time more strongly than before his former views, and apprised his Sovereign, with all due respect l that, with his convictions, he could not venture to share the responsibility of the decision at which the Cabinets had arrived. Nothing could be more rational or straightforward than the conduct of the French Minister throughout, and with pain we write that it offers a most honourable contrast to that of his English colleague in negotiation. M. Drouyn de Minya did not arrive at the conclusion that the statesman who had declared peace to be the right policy was the proper person to carry on the war ; on the contrary, even before his departure from Vienna, he had resolved to stake his ministerial existence upon the success of the resolution which he had formed, and docu mentary proof of this is foithcoming, if required. Our French allies may look back with satisfaction to the conduct and result of the Viennese negotiations. Their plenipotentiary may have erred in judgment, but he acted as became a straightforward statesman and an honest man.—Times. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. STAMFORD RACES. WEDNESDAY.

The main test of ability and the best 1 sledge of success in the art of war might be defined to be the power of employing military resources to the best- aC.vantage. We read the memorable story of General Tt io naparte's first Italian campaigns, and of the still. more astonishing struggle of the Emperor Napoleon in 1 814 against the hosts of a European coalition, with a far deeper interest than we find in the movements of the ov er grown legions of the Grande Arrae in its march to Mos , to w. The Duke of Wellington in the Peninsula prolonging the resistance of Spanish patriots at the head-of . 40;00 British troops nainst the enormously superior armies of the French Marshals affords us one of the grandest in ilitary lessons in history, for it terichesus that victory s le.es not always follow the " big battalions," when genius. and resolution are on the other side. In other words, r:on army of com paratively small numbers, commanded b y a general who is thoroughly master of his Weapons, :in d prepared to obtain from that army the best services fit can perform, is far more formidable to an enem: r than a more numerous array of combatants labor ring with the difficulties of a divided command, and :not vigorously. directed to a common object. It is . a d Moult thing to - - command 30,000 men with real judgme int, but it is far inure difficult to command 109,000 meo, so as to bring every part of that vast and mirriplicat sel machine into uniform and simultaneous action,. to pla ce every branch of the service and every man of the for: in the most suitable position, and to be the central a id motive power of so great a tuultitude. Yet, without.: this power of command, which gives the strength of 1.60,000 arms to the will of a single man, it. is-impossible Ito carry on war with success, and the greatest sacrifices will be made in vain. These reflections are naturally suggest ed to us by the present position and past achievement s of the allied armies in the Crimea. In engaging in t hat great expe-• .dition the Governments of England and . France traced out the political plan of the campaign, fc r which they hold themselves, and. must ever rem: . responsible. They selected the officers whom they th ought best qua lified in their respective services to con duct the opera tions, and, although a very large proport ion of these gal lant veterans have broken down in heals ;h or froin other causes, it cannot be affirmed that any of her choice was possible at the outset of the war. The se commanders were furnished with what were supposed to be ample re sources, and, although the first estimate of the duty to be performed was far below the s mark, th e deficiencieiof the armies have since been supplied wit ;h unparalleled profusion. The immense numbers of efficient troops which have been conveyed to the Crimes i, and are still on their way thither—the enormous sieg: m trains of both armies, 'which have been three or four times renewed —the incalculable consumption and su ippiy of muni tions of war—the unceasing conveyancm 5 of all that is necessary for the sustenance of such vast armies— and, above all, the magnitude of the s team transport service by which these prodigies have linen effected, all concur to render the Crimean expe &Awn one of the greatest undertakings in history, and the two most powerful nations of the world have spa red nothing to insure its success. Having provided then s extraordinary resources, the allied Governments wisely I: ift them almost absolutely and entirely at the disposal of: the Generals on the Spot, and upon them the strategics I:responsibility of the campaign devolves ; but, with the utmost desire to put a favourable construction on the r otions and in tentions of men whose devotion to the i ;entice of their respective Countries is beyond all doubt, we confess our inability to discover indicationsof a well-c cnceived gene ral plan of operations on a scale commens az ate with the amount of the forces under their orders. General Pelissier has directed his whole energy since he assumed the chief command of the French army to the prosecution of the siege. He succeeded on the 7th of June in the occupation of the Mamelon ; he then con ceiltrated all his force on the Malakhoff w nese, leaving the Roden to the English, and desisting tuitirely from the left attack. We have no doubt that, tie far as the siege is concerned, this course of action is the most rational, and the last telegraphic despatch shows that the French have advanced their ambuscades to the glans of the Malakhoff Tower. But these are open atsions which' can be carried on by 50,000 or 60,000 men as rapidly and effectually as by a far greater number. In fact, the number of men who can be engaged in the siege of a single point is limited by the extent of the works, and, provided the reliefs are sufficiently frequent, -nothing is gained by any amount of troops beyond those ac tually engaged. The advantage to be de rived' from large additional forces or reserves consists in the pos sibility of extending the operations of the invading army, by selecting fresh points of attack , by making diversions, and by endeavouring to cut off the commu nications of the enemy. In the present case this power is vastly increased by the naval resources at the com mand of the Generals, for, as the expedition to Kertch proved, it is in their power at any moment to throw a corps of from 15,000 to 30,000 men on any point where the enemy may be least prepared to receive them, and this while the Russians are wholly destitute of similar facilities of locomtion. A very superficial acquaintance with the subject suffices to point out an infinite number of partial enterprises of this nature, but of these only one has been attempted, and, although the attack on Kertch and the Sea of Azoff was highly successful, we know that it was not undertaken without infinite hesi tation and delay, and it has not been repeated. All this time, it must be observed, that the Sardinian army, which landed in the Crimea about two months ago in the highest state of efficiency, has not once been seriously engaged with the enemy, athough it has suffered severely from cholera and inaction. The operationg of the Turks have also been confined to a reconnaissance ,by Omer Pasha in the mountains behind Balaklava and the' occupation of Yenikale, and the main body have now returned to their old quarters behind Balaklava. Eupa toria is admitted to be a strategical point of great impor tance ; it has defied the attempts of the Russians to re capture it, but it has not at present been used for any offensive purpose. It is probably true that the hilly region between Balaklavaand Baksbi-Serai presents con siderable obstacles to the passage of troops, and that the Russians have made the most of their superior know ledge of the country. Yet we must question whether some twenty miles of a district resembling Derby shire or the Welsh hills can present an impassable barrier to men who have ere this forced the Hindoo ghauts and the gorges of the Atlas. At any rate, the whole western coast of the Crimea is quite open to attack, and an army advancing be tween the Alma and the Katcha, or between the Katcha and the Belbek, would have a supply of water and a wooded country to cover each of its flanks. Or, if these enterprises appear too hazardous for the army, it would znot be impossible to find more active employment for the fleet. Nothing has been attempted against. Odessa, or the forts of Kimbourn and Oezalsow, which guard the entrance to the bay of Cherson, the estuary into which the Dnieper and the Bug discharge their waters. This spot is well known to be one of the principal depots of military and naval stores of the Rus sian empire, and of provisions for the army ; and, although we do not know how far it is possible to ap proach Cherson and Nicolaieff, we cannot but think that the seamen who found their way within gunshot of a a t r ie e m na p l t s e . d; g , s t •e h n ou t g h h e I r e u A th d o m f ir t a h l e s Danu behaven o v a has not been Taganrog would pilot a gunboat near enough fltootitilhaosoef passingf ubtthat gun vv b e oa h ts av ca e p n a o ble d o o valid objections h h e er b e ar a . re . against some of these operations, though we b.. - slieve that none is so desperate or hopeless that it might not be tried. But we throw out these suggestions from the conviction that the worst policy we ca n adopt is that of inaction. Already we fear - -that the most favour able season for a campaign in the Crimea, when the herbage still affords food to the animals of the army, has passed away. August is probably the least available month of the summer for such a purpose, and, although the sanitary condition of the army is wonderfully good, the fall of the year and the fruit season are always dangerous in these climates. MOreover, it is evident that the Russians, relieved in great measure from the necessity of maintaining a large force on the frontier of Germany, are collecting troops in the Governments of Podolia and Cherson for an autumnal campaign in the Crimea. The extraordinary qmeicence of their forces in the interior for many months past is an unexpected piece of good fortune, but it was the interest of the allied armies to avail themselves of it ; else why were the French reserves hurried off by orders from Paris nearly two months ago, and why were the Sardinians brought into the field ? We make these remarks in no spirit of censure or animadversion on any one. Indeed it is impossible to ascertain, if there be any blame, where it ought to rest. But, we repeat, success is not to be looked for without a plan of operations proportioned to the magnitude of our military and naval resources ; and such a plan must be executed by a mind capable of embracing and directing the whole. Nobody can make war piecemeal ; and, though we may have that amount of success which we shall always owe to the valour of English and French troops, yet higher military qualities than even valour are required before we can command victory or secure peace.—Times. The twelvemonth's notice requisite in such cases was issued yesterday from the India House, of a resolution of the Court of Directors to lower the rate of interest on India Bonds from 4 per cent., at which it has stood since the 24th of May, 1854, to 31 per cent. The reduction will consequently date from the 21st of July, 1556. The measure has been expected for some weeks, and is cal culated to act favourably upon the money market and the shares of the guaranteed Indian railway lines. Holders of the bonds agreeing to accept the reduction must signify the same by the 21st of January next, or they will be liable to be paid off. REMARKABLE CASE OV ROBBERY AND SUICIDE.— The Sun of yesterday contained a brief announcement to the effect that the postma ster of A msterdam, who had been apprehended on Tuesday after noon in that town, charged with absconding wi th 8001 . , had hanged him self in the Bridewell soon aft er bei ng taken into custody. Yesterday (Wednesday) en inquest was held b e f or e the borough coroner, at which the facts of the case trans pired. A day or two ago Jan Hanjik, postmaster at Amsterdam, absconded from that town with Dutch securities to the value of 8001. It seems that he pro ceeded direct to Liverpool, and on Monday succeeded in cashing the bills at the office of Mr.Caffre, moneybroker, in Waterloo-road, who, however, before giving him the money, had made some inquiries at the office of the Dutch Consul. On Monday evening the police authori ties at Liverpool received information of the robbery from Amsterdam, with a description cf the absconding paymaster, which led to his apprelleusion on Tuesdayiby Inspector Murphy. of the detective depaetinent. He was taken to Bridewell, and in the evening he was found slle pended by the neck from one of the bars of his cell,.and, eltgough immediately cut down, life was extinct. A ver dict of felo de se was returned. The whole of the money Wks been recovered. OFFICIAL DESPATCH FROM THE CR,I At EA. ( From a supplement to Tuesday's Gazette.) WAR DEPARTMENT, JULY 18. Lord Panmure has this day receired a despatch and its enclosures, of which the following are copies, ad dresse-d to his Lordship by Lieutenant-General Simpson, Commanding her Majesty's Forces in the East. Before Sebastopol, July 7, 180. My Lord,—l have the honour to acquaint your Lord ship that the retrains of our late lamented Commander in -Chief, Field-Marshal Lord Raglan, were removed from Head-quarters to Kazatch Bay, on Tuesday the 3d inst., and placed on board her Majesty's ship Caradoe, which departed for England that same evening. Nothing could he more imposing than the whole line of this melancholy prccession. The day was fine, and the appearance of the allied troops splendid ; as many as could be spared from duty in the trenches, and with safety to their camp; were collected, and the procession moved from 'the door of this house exactly at four .o'clock p.m., in the following order : In the court-yard of the house was stationed a guard of honour of one hundred men of the Grenadier Guards, with their drums and regimental colours ; fifty men, with one field officer, one captain, and one subaltern, from-the Royal Sappers and Miners and from each regi ment, lined the road from the British to the French bead-quarters, a distance of about a mile ; a squadron of cavalry was stationed on the right of the line, two batteries of artillery and a squadron of cavalry on the left of it ; the infantry were commanded by Major- General Eyre, C.B. The road from the French head-quarters to Kazatch Bay was lined throughout the whole way by the infan try of the French Imperial Guard, and of the Ist corps ; bands were stationed at intervals and played as the pro cession passed, and field batteries (French) at intervals, on the high grounds right and left of the road, fired mi nute guns. The procession to escort the body was as follows : Two squadrons British Cavalry (12th Lancers.) Two squadrons Piedmontese Light Cavalry. Four squadrons French Chasseurs d'Afrique (Ist and 4th Regiments). Four squadrons French Cuirassiers (2d and 9th Regi ments). Two troops French Horse Artillery. Major I;randling's troop Horse Artillery. • The coffin, covered with a black pall, fringed with white silk, and the Union Jack, and surmounted by the late Field-Marshal's cocked hat and sword, and a gar land of " Immortels," placed there by General Pelissier, was carried on a platform, fixed upon a 9-pounder gun, drawn by horses of Captain Thomas's troop Royal Horse Artillery. At the wheels of the gun-carriage rode Gen. Pelissier, Commander-in-Chief of the French Army, His Highness Omer Pacha, Commander-in-Chief of the Ottoman Army, Gen. de La Marmora, Commander-in-Chief of the Sar dinian Army, and Lieutenant-Gereral Simpson, Com mander-in-Chief of the English Army. Charger of the late Field-Marshal, led by two mounted orderlies. Relations and Personal Staff of the late Field-Mar shal. Generals and other officers of the French, Sardinian, and Turkish armies—a large number of whom attended. British Commissioners to Foreign armies. British General officers and their Staffs. Stiff of Head-quarters. One officer of each regiment of Cavalry and Infantry, Royal Sappers and Miners, and Land Transport Corps ; two from the Naval Brigade, Royal Marines, Medical and Commissariat Staff, and three from the Royal Artillery. Personal escorts of the Allied Commanders-in• Chief. The personal escort of the late Field-Marshal (Captain Chetwode's troop of the Bth Hussars). A field battery of the Royal Artillery. Two squadrons of British Cavalry (4th Dragoon Guards); Detachment of Mounted Staff Corps. The escort was under the command of Lieutenant- Colonel Dupuis, Royal Horse Artillery. Two field batteries of the Royal Artillery, stationed on the hill opposite the house, fired a salute of nineteen guns, when the procession moved off. The united bands of the 3d, 9th, and 62d Regiments, stationed in the vineyard that surrounds the house, played the Dead March. The band of the Sardinian Grenadiers was stationed half way to the French Head-quarters, and the band of the 10th Hussars on the left of the line. The approach to the wharf at Kazatch Bay was lined by detachments of the Royal Marines and sailors. The body was received on the wharf by Admiral Bruat and Rear-Admiral Stewart, C. 8., and a large number of officers of the combined fleets. The launch of the Bri tish flag-ship, towed by man-of-war boats, conveyed the coffin to the Caradoc, the boats of the combined fleets forming an escort ; and the troop and battery of the Royal Artillery included in the escort, formed upon the rising ground above the bay, and fired a salute of 19 guns as the coffin left the shore. Everything was well conducted, and no accident oc curred. Thus terminated the last honours that could be paid by his troops to their'beloved commander. His loss to us here is inexpressible ; and will, I am sure, be equally felt by his country at home. The sympathy of our Allies is universal and sincere. His name ,and memory are all that remain to animate us in the difficulties and dangers to which we may be called.

WORCESTER, WEDNESDAY, JULY 18. CRIMINAL COURT. (Before Chief Baron Pollock.) Phczbe Mason, aged 27, servant, was charged upon threeseveral, indietmente with administering poison to Wm. Hardy, John Hardy, .and George Hardy with in tent to murder them, at Halesowen, on the 11th of Air. W. H. Cooke appeared for the prosecution ; the prisoner was undefended. It appeared that in the month of November last the pri soner was sent for by the wife of Wm. Hardy, a brick layer at Oldbury, and asked to stay with her and nurse her during her illness. She consented, and, as the sick woman died in the course of the same month, the pri soner continued to live with the husband, and took care of his children. There was no doubt, upon the evi dence, that she had always treated the children with the greatest kindness up to Wednesday last, when she was seen to take upstairs a. cup, saying she . was going to give the children, who were in bed, some Benne, tea. She immediately afterwards put on her bon net-and went to the house of her - sister-in-law, and told her to fetch the doctor to the children. This was imme diately done, but before the doctor could arrive a young woman who was downstairs in the house heard the child ren cry, and going up to them, found that they were all sick and vomiting. They complained of great thirst, and in consequence a considerable quantity of milk and water was given them to drink. When the doctor arrived, two of the children appeared to have recovered, but one of them, the eldest, was suffering from depression, aris ing from vomiting. Search was made, and in an adjoin ing room a cup was found containing some senna leaves "and sugar of lead, and on further examination of what had come off the stomachs of the children there could be no doubt that they had taken sugar of lead. When taken into custody the prisoner admitted what she had done, and gave as a reason that the father had promised her marriage, but had slighted her, and that, s uc h was t h e love she bore the children, she could not bear the idea of being separated from them. On the part of the prisoner a long statement was read which she had made before the magistrates, the sub stance of which was that she bad yielded to the solicita tions of the father of the children on receiving a promise of marriage, and that he had since slighted her. She also repeated the statement which she had before made of the love she had for the children and the pain she felt at the prospeCt of being separated from them. A most excellent character was given to the prisoner: for humanity and kindness. Chief Baron Pollock having summed up tne evidence; The jury, without hesitation, found the prisoner Guilty, with a strong recommendation to mercy. Sentence deferred. MURDER. Joseph Meadows, aged iiir wilitesmith, was charged with the wilful murder of Mary Ann Mason, at Dudley, on the 12th of May, 1855. Mr. Huddleston and Mr. Cresswell appeared for the prosecution : Mr. Kettle defended the prisoner. Mr. Huddleston having opened the case to the jury, the following witnesses were examined : William Ingram said—l am a miner near Dudley. On the 12th of May last I was at the Sailor's Return public-house with William Robinson, between 8 and 9 in morning. The prisoner was there. The servant was mopping the house. I heard the report of a carbine, at a distance of 6 or 7 feet. The girl fell to the ground. I ran to the prisoner, and said, "You have murdered the girl. What aid you do it for ?" The girl was stand. ing about the middle of the kitchen. Cross-examined—l had not seen a carbine previous to the report. Mai.) , Hunt said—My husband keeps the Sailor's Return, at Kate's Hill, near Dudley. I saw the pri soner on the evening of Friday, the 11th of May. He passed as the brother of the servant, Mary Ann Mason. She did not speak to him. I saw him the next morning. He bad some ale. He remained in the kitchen. I had assisted the deceased to clean the kitchen. I left the room, and when I came back to the door I saw the pri soner with the carbine. The flash came in my face. The girl fell towards me. She breathed for about 15 minutes, and died. The shots struck her under the left ear. My husband came in and collared the prisoner. The only word I remember the prisoner saying was, "Now I'm satisfied." Gross-examined—This is the first time I have been examined. I had been in and out of the kitchen that morning. I had not seen a carbine before it was fired, On the Friday night he was talking about matters which` I thought he did not understand. He was talking about the war, the shells, and the guns. William Robinson said—l was at the Sailor's Return on the morning in question, and saw the prisoner there. I heard the report of a gun, and saw the girl fall. On turning round I found the carbine on the ground. The prisoner picked it up, and I took it from him. He then said, "She should have given me an answer." Cross-examined—The deceased was mopping the floor when the gun was fired. Jukes; said—l am a constable. I was sent for, and took the prisoner into custody. I charged him with shooting the deceased with the carbine. He said, "I've had my revenge ; I have heard them say revenge is sweet. I left home for that purpose. I've done it, and now I am satisfied." I found a powder-flask in his pocket, with a little powder and some caps. On the way to prison he said, " It's not my sister ; it's a young woman I've followed for about ten months. I was de termined if I could not have her nobody else should." He also said, " I pulled the carbine from behind my back, and fired it off in an instant. I threw it down to pick the girl up, but was prevented." Cross-examined—l have refreshed my memory by looking at a copy of the depositions. A copy of my de position was brought to me about a week ago by a young man named Robinson. I left the copy at home. William Hunt said—l keep the Sailor's Return. The prisoner came to my house about 10 minutes before 7 o'clock. I served him with some ale. I heard the re port and ran into the kitchen and collared the prisoner. I said, " Oh, you vagabond ; you've shot your own sister !" He said " I've done what I intended to do." The prisoner came to ,ny house the previous evening. The deceased screened herself behind me as if she didn't wish to see him. Cross-examined—Thomas Price came with the pri soner on the Friday night. I said that night the pri soner was the biggest sawney I ever saw in my life. I said that to the deceased. I saw nothing mad about the prisoner. Joseph Rann said—The prisoner was my apprentice. He came home at 2 o'clock on the Saturday morning in a state of intoxication. I left him on the sofa. I came down at 7 o'clock and found he was gone. I saw the prisoner at the gaol, and said " You've done for your• self now." The prisoner replied, " I intended to do it before I started." The carbine, &c., are my property. Cross-examined—The prisoner was quite intoxicated at 2 o'clock in the morning. I saw him again at 12 or 1. He did not appear to be sober then. W. E. Johnson said—l am a surgeon at Dudley. I saw the deceased, and examined the wound behind her ear. I believe that caused her death. Cross•examined—l examined the tongue of the de ceased. One or two shots entered the nerve which moves the tongue. The injury would prevent speech. Mr. Kettle addressed the jury for the prisoner, and ccntended that they ought ❑ot to convict him of the crime of murder upon statements alleged to have been made by him in a state of intoxication. Chief Baron Pollock having summed up the evidence with great minuteness, the jury, in about five minutes, found the prisoner guilty. The Chief Baron then said the case was one of the clearest which had ever come before a criminal court, and that it appeared from the ovidence that the prisoner had predetermined to commit the crime some time be fore he had actually committed it. His lordship then pro nounced the solemn sentence of death in the usual form. The prisoner was then removed. NORTHERN CIRCUIT. YORK, JULY 17. THE CHOWN COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Crowder.) Mary Walker was indicted for attempting to murder her infant child, at Roundhay, near Leeds. Mr. Hardy and Mr. Middleton prosecuted. The pri soner was undefended. It appeared that as two men, named lleptonstall and Halstead, were walking past an unoccupied house on the Roundhay-road, near Leeds, called the Rosebud, their attention was attracted by seeing prisoner, who is a servant girl, looking round the corner of the honse t an pushed open watched her, and saw her enter the privy und t o t u ll e. retiring. Knowing the house to be unoccupi e d, t hey specting something wrong, they went privy - door, and to tee back ,,ia 1 the i o o f a r, Receiving house , n opposite o the ans w e r, they ; As they the door, and saw the prisoner there, w ho appeared frightened and confused. They as o k!d . her what she a child scream, appa dcooimngin,g rently from the soil of the w wa er e e and h ear d and they immediately ey an h sw ear e7c l " n . thine both entered the privy, the scream repeated.

Th e child was out of reach, and the men tore up the sea t in order to get it out. It was alive and had a s li g ht cut on the head, w hi c h was hi ' wra pped up the child i n the ee d•n ig. The men woman's shawl, and con veyed it to the workhouse'o giving i the woman into the cus tody of the polic e . On the or of the privy was found a large sod, which app eared to have been intended to throw on and cove r the child, had the r' Boner not been dis turbed. F rom the evidence P e evidence of Mr. Price, the surgeon, it appeared th at the woman ha d been onfined only about t wo hours when . she was given into custody. The child was a full-grow n child, and was not hurt, and soon recovered at the workhouse. There was a slight contusion on the right side of the head. It was the opinion of the surgeon if a stone of the size described had been dropped on the child's head it would have made a much more serious wound. The prisoner, in defence, said she felt ill, and had gone to the privy, where she had been confined, and bad used the stones for the purpose of endeavouring to reach and get out the child, which had dropped on the soil. Other evidence in the case con tradicted this. _ His Lordship having summed up the evidence, The jury found the prisoner guilty of an attempt to murder the child. She was sentenced to be imprisoned 18 calendar months. The rest of the day was occupied in the trial of oases unfit for publication. In the Civil Court an action on a bill of exchange and an action for goods sold and delivered, each of the dulled pooible description, occupied the day, TH E 3CY N, N .13 t, THURSDAY 1V IN I (1, • JULY 19 ) 18 5
