( Front the Gazette of this Eve)ting.) WAR DEPARTMENT, DEC. 20. Lord Panmure has received from the Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, the reports of which the follow ing are copies, addressed by Lieutenant-General Sir 11 arry D. Jones to General Sir James Simpson, K.C.B. Head-Quarters, Sebastopol, Sept. 9. Sir,—The long and eventful siege of Sebastopol hav ing been brouglitto a successful termination, I beg leave to draw pur Excellency's attention to the services of the officers of Royal Engineers who have been employed i❑ carrying on the i-iege works. Many of these officers have been continuously on duty since Bth October last, and have been in the trenches 76, 07, and 108 days and nights. I lieg leave to mention the name of Lieutenant-Colo• net Chapman, C. 8., who has been employed with the army since the arrival of the first detachment at Galli poli ; and since March last, when Colonel Gordon was wounded, and unable to perform the duties of the siege ai senior officer of Engineers, he has had to make all the necessary arrangements for the daily carrying on of the duties ; this has been performed by him in the most zealous and energetic manner, under great exposure to fire, to my entire satisfaction. ➢lajor Bent has been doing the duty of Director of the Left Attack since March last ; the duties of that officer was very onerous, and these he has performed in a most zealous and praise worthy manner. During the above period Major Brent must have been under fire twice, if not thrice, in every t renty-four hours. Captain Brown, who was recently severely wounded, performed for some time the office of Director of the Right Attack, and so has also Captain Cooke. Captain Ewart, the Adjutant to the Sappers and Miners, h as carr i e d on the duties of the parks, which are extremely troubl esome, an d requiring great attention, in the most zealous and satisfactory manner. I do not trouble your Excellency with the names of the Subalterns of Engineers, as they are not eligible for promotion under the existing regulations. Nothing could exceed the zealous and praiseworthy manner in which they have invariably performed their duties. Several have been more than once wounded, and many have died from wounds, or from si c kness caused by ex posure to the great heat in the trenches. I wish to bring prominently under your notice Majur Bourc , iier, my Brigade - Major, who has rendered me very great assistance throughout the whole siege, and Lieut. Cowell, my Aide-de-Camp, who has, during the siege, proved himself most useful by his professional knowledge as an officer of Royal Engineers, awl by his general mili tary acquirements. Of the Assistant Engineers, I can not speak too highly in rraie of the zeal and intelligence they have displayed, and I beg leave to enclose the names of those who, from their long service at this siege, I consider deserving of promotion.—l have, &C., (Signed) HARRY D. JONES, Lieutenant-General, Commanding Royal Engineers. His Excellency General Simpson, CJinmander-in•Chief. Head-Quarters, Sebastopol, Sept. 16.

Extract from Lieutenant-General Sir Harry Jones, report to General Simpson. Head -quart ers , S e b as t opo l, S e pt. 20, 1855 . Sir,—This long siege of 337 days having been brought to a successful termination, I am extremely desi rous to bring under your Excellency's notice the services of a most gallant rnd zealous body of Gui nan; I allude to the Subalterns of the Royal Engi neers, who, from the constitution of their corps, in h:ch promotion goes by seniority, are never promoted into other branches of tle service, which was the reason why I did not include i n my recommendato r y li s t th e names of tkoSe individuals who have particularly distin guish themselves, tri,sting to the opportunity which would he afforded me of bringing their names forward nodally. During the recent, siege the duties_ of the t renc h es fell Vary severely on the Subalterns of Engweers ; throughout the whole of the winter they were constantly on duty, and as their numbers were small, the tour of each indi vidual returned at short intervals ; nothing but great zeal and spirits carried them through the severe work they had to perform. The following short statement will enable your Excel lency to see bow a Subaltern of Engineers was called upon to do duty in the trenches, several more than once wounded and others contused ; the following figures refer to some of the survivors : 33 days or nights. 97 days or nights. 108 „ 62 „ 71 32 „ 65 „ 46 „ 78 „ It must be borne in mind that these tours of duty al ways brought the individual under fire, and in the winter months they were exposed to all the severities of the season. Several of the Subalterns distinguished themselves on several occasions in the attacks upon rifle pits, quarries, Ste. Such services, I trust, will not be allowed to pass without reward. (Signed) HARRY D. JONES, Lieutenant-General, Commanding Royal Engineers. The following are the names of the officers who parti cularly distinguished themselves : Royal Engineers.—Lieutenants H. De Vero, A. A. C. Fisher, H. C. Elphinston, G. Neville, W. 0. Lennox, W. C. Anderson, G. Graham, G. Philips, C. N. Martin, C. G. Gordon, and J. F. Donnelly. Minute of Inspector-General of Fortifications. I would strongly recommend Lieutenants Stopford, Cowell, Pratt, Drake, being added to this list. (Signed) J. F. BURGOYNE, Nov. 17. Lieutenant-General, General Simpson, &c., &c., Commander-in-Chief. I can most conscientiously corroborate every word expressed by Sir Harry Jones in this letter. The ar duous and always dangerous duties in which the En gineer Officers were continually employed have all along, during this siege, been deserving of my praise and ad miration. Their untiring perseverance and frequent acts of gallant conduct are beyond all praise ; and I here desire to record my high approbation of these officers named by Sir Harry D. Jones, and my strong recommendation of them to Viscount Hardinge's favour. (Signed) JAS. SIMPSON, General Commanding. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 21, 1855. LONDON Q. Evening.) ST.

Young, A LA F' INTELLIGENCE.—Dec. 20. ADMIRALTY COURT. (Before Dr. Lushington.) THB PEACE.- SALVAGB. This was a suit promoted by the brigantine Brunette to procure salvage remuneration for services rendered tc the bark Peace, on the 66th of May last. The learned Judge decreed 4001. for the entire service, of which the ship and freight were to pay their rateable proportion. TUE FENIX.-SALVAGE. This was a suit instituted by the steam-tug Charm and two luggers, the Fly and the Dart, to obtain salvage re ward for services rendered to the brig Fenix on the 19th of August last. The learned Judge was of opinion that there was no thing to detract from the value of the services rendered, and he allotted to the salvors 1501., with costs. THE CALEDONIA.— WAGES. This was a suit brought by Mr. J. M'Dowall, the late master of the ship Caledonia, against the mortgagees in possession to recover the amount of wages due to him, together with a commission of 2i per cent. o❑ the net profits of the voyage. It appeared that in April, 1854, the ship then lying in Glasgow, she was designed on a voyage to Melbourne, thence to some port in Peru, and back to a port of discharge in Great Britain or Ire land. She arrived in London on the 25th of July last, and the master remained with her until the 3d August, when she was taken possession of by the mortgagees. The claim of the master amounted to 316/. 13s. 4d. On the part of the mortgagees it was contended that they were entitled to deduct 51. paid to the master prior to the voyage, 841. advanced to his wife during his absence, and 501. paid to him on the 4th of August. The ques tion raised before the Court was whether it was compe tent for the mortgagees to snake those deductions with out going into the entire accounts between the master and the ship, and thus render themselves liable for any balance which might be due to him. Dr. Deane appeared for the master ; Dr. Twins for the mortgageeß. The learned Judge said he was of opinion that they were.not entitled to deduct either the 51. or the 841. The 501. advanced by them to the master on the 4th of August stood on a different footing, and he would allow that deduction. With respect to the commission, that item must be referred to the Registrar, to ascertain the sum due. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WESTERN CIRCUIT. —Wrxemisnint, Dig. 20. (Before Mr. Baron Parke.) WILFUL MURDER. Abraham Baker, 2ti, was indicted for the wilful mur der of Naomi Kingsivell, at Southampton, on 14th Oct. last. Mr. Cooke and Mr. Lomer conducted the prose cution. It appeared that the prisoner lived in the service of the Rev. Wm. Paynder, at Moira-place, Southampton, and the deceased girl was is fellow -servant. On the Sunday morning, on his supposed return from church, about a quarter past 12, the deceased opened the door for him. As he passed the kitchen door, another fellow-servant, Charlotte Lacey, asked hlm if he knew it was Sacrament Sunday, and he said " No." He then went into the pantry, to lay the luncheon tray ; in the meantime the deceased bad come downstairs in the kit chen, and as she and Laoey were talking together at the end of the screen by the fire, the prisoner came and stood at the other end, and rested his left elbow on it. His right hand was behind him, under his coat. He did not Fpeak at all. In about a minute Lacey saw him move his right arm from behind his back, and immedi ately saw and heard the report of a pistol. The deceased fell instantly to the ground, and blood flowed from under her left ear. He was about a yard from the deceased when he fired. Not a word hal passed between him and the deceased at that time. Lacey said to him, "Baker, Baker, what have you done '1" He made no reply, and she ran up to the front doer and called to a policeman named Tatchell, who came in and t okthe r prisoneront door hold of his ha n d an d said ; and as he was g o i ng ou t of the again, "Baker, Baker, what have you done I" He re plie 1, "She deserved it, you know." Oa the previous Saturday morning he had asked her why it was that the deceased would not speak to him. She could not tell him. She did not know that there was any attach. ment between him and the deceased. It appeared that the prisoner purchased a pistol at a gunm a k er ' s s h op on the Saturday. He also bought some balls, powder, and caps. He was asked if he was going to fight a duel, and he said be thought the pistol would do to kill a large dog. When the police went into the kitchen after the removal of the prisoner they found, after some search, a ball in the hairs of a long hair broom. The ball was much flattened, and an examination by the sur geon proved that the ball had passed quite through the head of the deceased, and had torn away a large portion of the skull with it, causing instant death. Lacey, when cross-examined by Mr. Cooke, said the prisoner always professed to be a religious person. He had religious books before Lim at every interval, and was always talking of religious subjects. She bad beard since that he belonged to the Wesleyan chapel. The deceased was also of a religious turn of mind. The prisoner took the sacrament at the church. It had been rumoured since the fatal aot that they were attached to each other. Inspector Enright, who produced the pistol, stated that when he received it from Tatchell it appeared to have been very recently discharged, and in consequence of certain information which he obtained he went to the post-office and procured a letter, which he showed to the prisoner, and he said it was a letter he had written to his father at Newport, Isle of Wight. It was read as follows : " Oct. 14, 1855. " Dear Father and Mother,—Thi s may bee for the last time shall have to write to you, and I will leave all my things for you and mother. One box is at Mr. Wood's rating-house. You must come up to see me to morrow morning, and fetch all my things home for your selves, There is three large boxes, two hand-box, a large bundle of clothes. My watch and clook, leather hat box, and all my money, you can have." By a statement made by the prisoner a few days after he was in gaol, it was asserted that there was an attach ment between the parties ; that be had been ANtay from the deceased for some ti me , with a porti on of the family who were residing at Anglesea, near Portsmouth ; that while there deceased wrote letters which upset his mind; that when he came back to Southampton she would not speak or be sociable with him, and that it was more than he could bear. He told her he should give warning to leave his place, and she appeared to be glad to hear of it ; and the whole of the morning and the previous even ing he scarcely knew what he was doing, she had upset his mind so much and so frequently. Mr. Cooke addressed the jury for the prisoner, and urged that the attachment of the prisoner to the de ceased was so deep that it bordered close upon insanity. The prisoner was maddened by feelings which deprived him of reason for the time. The learned Judge summed up and said no doubt the pride of the prisoner was hurt by the rejection of his addresses by the young woman, and he inflicted the fatal wound under the influence of passion ; but this was not in-anity. She had refused to speak or to shake hands with him, and that bad probably led him to avenge him self. The jury consulted for a few minutes, and having found the prisoner guilty, The learned Judge sentenced him to death, without holding out any hope of mercy in this world. official assignee, Leeds; Phillip, York; Bond and Bar wick, Leeds.

Yesterday afternoon a long inquiry was gone into he fore Mr. Baker, at the Panther Tavern, Hope Town, Bethnal-green, on view of the bodies respectively of Charles Hellier, aged seven years, Amelia Hellier, aged four years and seven months, and Frederick Hellier, aged nearly two years, who were alleged to have died from the want of the necessaries of life, at 20, George street, Bethnal-green-road, where they were living with their mother, a widow. Hannah Walker, No. 18, George-street, stated that she had known the family about ten years. Rather more than two years ago the father of the children, who was a cabman, died, and left his wife, who is a weader, with six children to support. Upon his death she received two quarterns and a half of bread and ls. 3d. in money a week. She had. behaved kindly to her children, had been industrious, and is of sober habits. In the early part of November one of the children had the measles, which was soon followed by the hooping-cough and inflamnea• tion of the lungs. Two others of the deceased were at tacked with inflammation, when Mr. G. West, the parish surgeon of the district, was called in, and he ordered some arrowroot, with beef tea, for the deceased. They died, successively, Charles on the 7th of December, Amelia oa the 9th, and Frederick a few days since. Mr. West stated that he was called to attend the de ceased Amelia ou the Ist November, who was suffering from inflammation of the chest and a low fever. Upon seeing the state the children were in he ordered, in ad dition to the relief the family received, half a gill of port wine, half a pound of beef for beef tea, and arrow root, which is not withheld. Inflammation of the chest produces an emaciated condition of the body, and in his opinion the three surviving cnildren will die of the same complaint. Their father died of the same disease in Bartholomew's Hospital. They died of inflammation of the chest. A neighbour, named Armeton, living at 18, George. street, stated that he had seen the children pick up her rings' heads and potato-peelings in the street and divide them among each other. When the neighbours have emptied the contents of their tablecloths on the pave ment they have eagerly eaten the crumbs. When the father died they were fine, plump, rosy-coloured chil dren. They have since gradually wasted away. A Juror observed that, probably, from not having had sufficient food the children sunk under the disease with which they were attacked. Another Juror said that the children bad often called on him in his shop, and asked for some bread. Some conversation havingitaken place among the jary in order to ascertain why the inquest was calied, Mr. Vaughan (summoning officer) said that about a week ago his attentio❑ was called to the deceased. He made inquiries, when he found that the family had re ceived the relief that had been referred to, and that they had been attended by Mr. West, who attributed their deaths respectively to the causes he had alluded to. It was only in consequence of the death of the third child, and of the rumours in the neighbourhood that they had all died of starvation, he felt it his duty to write to the coroner. He had seen the books of relief at the work house, and he found that the charge on account of the family latterly had been from 7s. to 9s. per week. The Coroner observed that the allowance had not only been prompt but liberal on the part of the parish. Mr. Armeton remarked that when the family was in such distress they ought to have gone into the work• house. The Coroner—lf the parish admitted every family that was in distress in the parish the housekeepers would soon complain of the rates. Mr. West said he knew that at the present time in the parish there were thousands of children who had not sufficient food for their support. He knew several families in that state. A Juror observed that it was not possible for a wo• man with six children, with an allowance of two loaves and a half and le. 3d. a week, with her own earnings, tgo support her family. The Coroner having remarked that it did not appear that any blame was attached to any one, The Jury returned a verdict of "Natural death by the visitation of God." Country Markets.
