" We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of stric ture during the last twenty years has equalli d, if, indeed, it has not surpassed, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no .matter of surprise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a most dexterous and skilful manipu ator with urethral instruments ; and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of gratification on Mr. Courtenay's part to have achieved the reputation he has in this res,: ect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture of the urethra."—Medical Circular.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have proanced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man tiood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Ito perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who arc conscious of baring hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is e.ititled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are rinciplen of personal management which cannot be violated without Lecturing grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed. Ind how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and above all, teat there In scarc.ely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. rheAuthor has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in 'he treatment of these delicate complaints, which have unfortunately teen too generally confided to Use care of ignorant empiria, who inflict great injury on those who arc induced to place faith in their pretensions.

M1 ~ w. a t L~~ ry ~ ~ Z THE TIENNA CONFERENCE. The following particulars of the course likely to be followed were circulated in Paris:on Thursday. Count de Buol will explain the state of the question, in a speech setting forth the history of the diplomacy of the last two years. He will then read the protocol of De cember 28, and the additional declarations exchanged since by the parties to the treaty of December 2, to de. termine the sense of the third guarantee required by them from Russia. The intent of this prefatory reading will be to lay down in an unmistakeable and irrevocable manner the basis of negotiations for peace. Prince Gortschakoff and M. de Titoff will be asked to give their formal ad hesion to the protocol and to affix their signatures to it. Should they refuse, the conferences will be immediately closed. I n case their objections should merely relate to secondary points, the representatives of the Allied Powers will, if they think fit, defer to the objections on their own responsibility, or will send them to their Governments ad referendum. It is to be supposed that, even in the case of the Conferences being declared closed in principle, the Russian Plenipotentiaries would be allowed a reasonable time to ask for fresh instructions, so that every door for negotiation may be left open up to Passion-week. If by that time no understanding is come to, the Conferences will be dissolved without loss of time, and arms alone will be depended upon to effect a solution. Austria, whose threats of declaring war upon Russia have so frequently come to nothing, is now said to be firmly resolved to throw away the scabbard should the Vienna Conferences come to no result by the beginning of April. • _.- . 4 .• . . • , . . --- -/-.'

For tie; prosecution it was relied upon, among other facts, that • a man who lived next door to the Blessings, and who, owing to th e thi nness o f th e par tition, could hear very slight noises upon the premises, heard blows on the morning in question, but no words, or sound of voices, or anything leading to the supposition that a quarrel or struggle was taking place. The evidence of Mary Blest: ing, a girl eleven years old, one of the prisoner's chil dren at home with her on the morning of the murder, though adduced for the prosecution, tended to confirm the statements made by the prisoner before the coroner's jury. Mr. Deltaic)+, also, commented upon the faot that the hammer bad not been concealed. It was laid upon the table when the parties entered the house, ti nge d with blood, and some of the grey hairs of the deceased were adhering to it, inviting attention and. forming an important piece of evidence against the prisoner. - If, he urged, she had been guilty of deliberate murder, the first thing she would have done would have been to make away with the deadly weapon—that was the line of conducted pursued by all murderers.

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 17, 1855. AT LIVERPOOL—By order of the Trustees. —On TUESi) the 27th instant, at One o'clock, at the Cotton ale Room, Exchange Buildings, unless previously disposed of by private treaty, the undermentioned Ships lying at the port of Liverpool : people free of ail charge, except that imposed by the rate in aid. The formation of an educational district is not com pulsory upon t! c ratepayers, but it rests in their discretion whether in each union the act shall be operative or a dead letter. Once adopted, however, the observance of all the subsequent and attached provisions becomes, of course, compulsory. The schools are to be subject to Government inspection, as at present, and the central educational govern ment is to be vested, as now, in the Committee of Privy Council, which, however, is to be subjected to a good deal of remodelling, and is to be represented in Parliament by a re sponsible Minister of the Crown. There is to be no inter ference exercised in respect of any existing agencies for education. Such, in the main, is the machinery which Sir J. Paking ton proposes, not to substitute for, but to superadd to, that which he finds at work. We should have strongly protested against any proposition which involved the abrogation of the numerous establishments which voluntary efforts and private benevolence have constituted, and are now maintain ing throughout the land, and which, although it may be con ceded that they fall short in extent, and in some degree in form, too, of the present and prospective requirements of the community, have clone a vast deal more, we are disposed to think, than Sir John Pakington gives them credit for, to in crease the knowledge and advance the social condition of the people ; but_ we see no objection to this scheme being imposed upon the existing system if the imposition can be effected without material disturbance. And we do not see why it should not. Coalition, we should think, may be compassed, even though amalgamation may not be possible. We are quite ready to admit that the machinery which we have in operation now is not adequate to the work which ft is called upon to perform. We are ready to admit, withoutdispnte or cavil, a great, the greatest part of the statements which Sir John put forth ; and of the opinions which he advanced with re gard to the prevalence and degree of- ignorance among the masses of our population. We feel strongly,--and we - have urged our conviction, over and over again;' - upon the public, that a very large proportion of the educational acquirements which our population is reputed to have attained—whatever chew and appearance they make upon paper, and in statistical returns —have no reality ; and thatthe system which makes such a display in report,produces comparatively trifling results, and excercises but ephemeral influences. This is but the natural consequence of educating men—whose destined occupation is that of teachers of peasants living by manual labour—as if their present object was to take high honours at the univer sities, and their contemplated career that of the statesman, the barrister, the physician, or the Churchman, an d o f th ese men attempting with similar mistaken views to pour--just as you would pour water into a pail—into the mind of a child who, at the utmost, is to be two years under their ma nipulation, as great an amount and as great a variety of ac quirements as is attainable, and attained by a clever and in dustrious sou of a man in easy circumstances, who is able to devote absolutely to mental cultivation at least twelve years of his life. This is one of the chiefest evils of our present sys tem as conducted by the Committee of Privy Council, and we have observed, with much regret and apprehension, that several of the cleverest and most zealous of the Government inspectors have given encouragement to its growth, and have forced the directors of some of our training establishments, from year to year, to a perpetual ascent in the scale of educa tion applied to candidates for the masterships of schools. It is a practice which is objectionable not only because it defeats the object for which the training schools are specially estab lished, but because it, moreover, has a tendency to create, and that at the public expense, a class of men in whom is generated, by the unwholesome and unfitting stimulus applied to their minds, an ambition without a distinct object or a tangible resting place, and a large proportion of whom, con sequently, will probably pass their lives in wandering to and fro through society restless and discontented, seekin g a posi tion and. linuilig none, and the ready ins , ruments o every political agitation that the turmoil of life in large towns may send forth. It is evidently impossible in the limits of a single artiole to give an opinion upon the variety of important questions to which a. itation is given by the great scope of Sir J. Faking t m's scheme, and we, therefore, prefer to reserve, till we see the bill in print, any positive expression of our views with regard to a large proportion of its contemplated provi sions. The policy or impolicy of free admission, for instance, will depend considerably, iu our opinion, upon the extent of the area to which it is proposed to apply the rating. If it be extended so as to embrace all families really capable of paying, and it is found 'capable of producing, with the aid of the Consolidated Fund, a revenue suffi cient for the maintenance of the school in each district, we see no reason for requiring the payment of pence from individual children; the education of those who have the ability having been, in fact, already paid for by the contribution of their families to the rate ; but we would beg Sir John Pakington and the house to bear in mind that the great danger to be guarded against, in all plans for giving good and cheap education to the poor, is the natural and almost inevitable tendency of the class above them to press into the establishments and elbow them out—a tendency which we doubt will always be found active at all times and in all places, so long as the private schools to which the middle classes resort are so miserably constituted and admi nistered. The last and greatest difficulty with which Sir John pro poses to grapple, namely, that of religious teaching to all classes and sects, presents such a large field of consideration and discussion, that it is impossible to enter fully upon it within the limits of this article ; and to touch upon it, with out going completely into it, would only, be to do injustice both to ourselves and the subject. We postpone, therefore, to a future occasion the expression of our views, and will only add, that whatever may be their individual opinions with regard to Sir John Pakington's proposition, there can be but one feeling of respect and admiration for the tolerant and Christian-like spirit which he evinced in treating that com plicated and momentous question. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Colossus, 80, screw, 750 men, Captain R. S. Robinson, is refitting at Devonport with the greatest dispatch. She is ordered to Spithead, and will be ready to sail on the 21st. Yesterday the Amphion, 34 guns, screw steam frigate' was put out of the fitting basin at Sheerness under her own steam power. Just as she got to her moorings her weigh shaft broke. This defect will re quire until Tuesday next to be repaired. The Cossack, 20 guns, screw steam-corvette, Captain Edward G. Fanshawe, arrived at Sheerness yesterday at 12.30 p.m. from Leith Roads. The Driver, 6 guns, steam-sloop, shortly after getting up steam to leave Sheerness, on Thursday, when off the garrison-point, broke her main shaft. She was obliged to make fast to the buoy off the point, where she re mains waiting for a new shaft. The Odin steam-frigate C aptain James Wilcox, left Woolwich yesterday for the rendezvous of the ships of the Baltic fleet at Spith.ead. The Lightning steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commander James C. Campbell, left Woolwich yesterday afternoon for Spithead, having been appointed as a tender to the Duke of Wellington, 131, flagshi p of Rear-Admiral the Hon. Richard S. Dundas, C. 8., Commander-in-Chief of the Baltic fleet. The Pelter, screw - gunboaf, w as d ocked again yester day to have another screw applied, and some further alterations made in her lee boards to keep her from rol ling ; this vessel has been on the doctor's list ever since she arrived at Portsmouth. The Ruby, steam-gunboat, is also to be brought into dock to have some alterations made. The Port-Admiral, Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C‘l3., struck his flag on board the Victory yesterday, and went on leave, owing to indisposition. Dear-Admiral Martin is senior officer pro tem. Notices have been posted at Woolwich Dockyard that letters for the Black Sea fleet will be despatched by her Majesty's steam-vessel Weasel, at Devonport, if posted on or lefore March 21, 1855. Letters for seamen, ma rines, and boys will be forward e d b y this opportunity if posted in time and marked on the outside "By her Majesty's steam-vessel Weasel."

We have within the last few days some important addenda to the confirmations of our statements given by the witnesses before the Crimean Star-chamber. There is some little diffi culty in dealing with these separate blocks of evidence. One witness testifies to the shortcomings of the commissariat, another denounces the mal-administration, a third inveighs against the transport service. The report is, as it were, a tesselated pavement, and can only be dealt with piecemeal. It may perhaps add something of clearness to our notice of the testimony given, if we confine ourselves to the statements of two leading witnesses, each deposing to matters strictly within his own knowledge, and of the utmost importance to the welfare of the expedition. We spell: of Lord Lucan, who commanded the cavalry division, and of Mr. Macdonald, the gentleman who acted for the subscribers to the fund for the Relief of the Sick and Wounded Soldiers, with which the name of our own office has been so largely involved. Lord Lucan shall have the precedence. The difficulties against which lie had to contend seem to have had their beginning almost simultaneously with the ar rival of the cavalry at Scutari. No sooner were they placed in barracks at Kululee, about four miles from that place, than Lord Lucan began his contest with the Commissariat officers—a contest which seems to have raged with greater or less intensity during the whole period of the general's stay with the British forces. The two commissaries at Kululee knew nothing about horses. They were two young gentlemen from the Treasury—one was Mr. Murray, a son of the Bishop of Rochester ; the other a Mr. Cookesley. Dur ing the encampment at Varna the heavy cavalry suffered fearfully from the cholera, but that is nothing to our imme diate purpose. When the embarkation for the Crimea took place numbers of horses were left behind for want of trans sports, but even for all of those taken riders could not be found. So great was the sickness among the men that when the army reaehed the Alma there were no less than 150 led horses on 1,100 taken. Each of thesis 150 horses required a mounted trooper to lead it ; so hero were 300 mon and horses hors de combat. We pass over the transactions at the Alma. When the army got to Balaklava at first there was forage enough for the horses, " great quantities of hay being found about the country." Not only was there plenty of hay, but there were cargoes of forage in the port. " There could have been no difficulty," said Lord Lucan, " in making stores to any extent, as the weather was line and there were plenty of ships in the harbour full of forage." Nothing was done, and soon the sharp pinch came. At first the commander of the cavalry sent his own troopers to the ships to procure forage for themselves, which they did out of the holds of the vessels, and this staved off the evil day for a while. Next came representations to Quartermaster-General Airey, and bickerings with Mr. Commissary-General Filder ; both were unproductive of result. " The Commissary-General continued to entrust the commissariat duties to youths utterly inexpe rienced, and who, moreover, showed no great zeal or desire to make up by their exertions for their personal deficiencies." Can we wonder that, as a natural consequence of such a state of facts, we find Lord Lucan, a lltle further on in his evidence, complaining that the supplies of fbrage for the cavalry were most irregular, and sometimes failed alto gether? The Light Brigade were in an analogous situa tion. The forage was never landed from the ships, unless immediately before it was wanted. Lord Lucan com plained of this in the proper quarter, but simply received no answer to his letter. At one time, driven to desperation, he was forced to apply to General Canrobert for assistance, and the French General lent them from his stores 30 days' fodder, which was chopped straw. This was as early as November. Then, again, Lord Lucan complains of the want of common necessaries for the use of the cavalry—such as cornsacks, nosebags, &c. This led to a great waste of grain, for when the nosebags were worn out the corn was cast clown upon the ground, and a great portion of it wasted, especially in wet weather. And all this time there wore ships innumerable in the harbour and offing, with sailmakers aboard, who would soon have made nosebags by the score, and Constantinople was distant but three days' sail 1 The whole history would appear to be related rather to play upon our credulity than to convince our judgment. We have not, unfortunately, space to follow Lord Lucan through the remainder of his valuable evidence, but in it may be seen how speedily, under " existing arrangements," the high-mettled racer is brought to the dung cart—in other words, how soon the few half-starved sur vivors of the British troop horses, which should have borne their brave riders to victory, had common precaution been taken for their preservation, were brought down to the duty of carrying up stores from the port to the camp, for the pur pose of keeping the infantry alive. It is the same through out, on Lord Lucan's showing. Planks for huts for the horses were be-ought from Sinope, " but they were not able to use the boards for some time from the want of nails. By some mistake or other, they had forgotten to soul nails with the planks," And so we pass on to the evidence of Mr. Macdonald. What can we do with this testimony ? Transcribe it ? Part has already appeared iu our impression of Thursday, and the rest we ieW lish to day. We take it up with the idea of briefly mentioning the principal points, and we fall straight upon the following statement, which, if false, cau easily be set aside by those whose credit is involved. For five weeks after the arrival of Mr. Macdonald no washing was done in any of the hospitals, save the Barrack Hospital. " I know," said this witness, " that the dirty clothing of the men was put under the beds as , it was, crawling with vermin, filthy with the discharge from wounds, and sometimes containing maggots." Medical stores and medical comforts of all kinds were wanting, notwithstanding the fiat denial with which this statement was made at home. Upon ono occasion, and one occasion only, the ambassador, Lord Stratford, sent down to the hospital to inform the medical authorities that he had the power of supplying them with anything that was wanted. Their answer was that they were not in want of anything ; they did not have recourse to him, and he never troubled his head any more about the matter. Everything, or most things wanted, might have been purchased at Constantinople, but nothing was done. Tho great failure was in the purveyor's department. One infirm old man and a couple of youthful and imbecile assistants seem to have been charged with the duty of catering for the wants of so many thousands of sick and wounded men. "If the medical officer saw a man in want of a shirt he would wri.e a requisition for one, and send it to the purveyor, and the purveyor would say there was no such article in store,' or Call again to `morrow,' or some such answer." Mr. Macionald's account of the condition in which the men were brought down from the Crimea, although it contains nothing with which we were not before acquainted, must affect the reader's imagination with fresh horror every time it is brought under his notice. Conceive a number of poor sick and wounded creatures, hun dreds at a time, chucked-pcll moll into a transport, writhing or groaning upon the bare boards—no bedding, no covering, no preparations for cleanliness, the stench abominable, and the sea running high—no friend, no nurse, no surgeon, no medicine, no comfort near at hand. Sometimes this torture was prolonged for day.. Even when they arrived at Scutari it might not be possible to land them ; and, when they were lauded and placed upon the beach, it might not be possible to carry them up to hospital until five hours of agony had passed away. When they arrived at hospital,—but hero we must let fall the curtain for to-day. We would simply, and in conclu sion, ask those gentlemen who have opposed inquiry, or who have denounced this journal for calling attention to such in famy, what is their idea now? Ought not things to be known ? Ought not the guilty persons to be brought to jus tice, whoever they may be? SIR, JOHN PAKINGTON'S EDUCATION BILL. (From the Morning Post of this day.) Sir John Pakington, in a speech remarkable alike for its comprehensiveness and its temperate and tolerant spirit, in troduced last night into the House of Commons a bill for the promotion of education, which, whether it meet with dissen sion or agreement, must be admitted, at all events in scope and completeness, far to surpass any schemes which have preceded it. As far as the framing goes it is unquestion ably superior to that which has been submitted to Parlia ment by Lerd John Russell. It embraces more objects, and faces and grapples with the larger difficulties, to winch Lord John appeared rather disposed to give the go by, in a bolder spirit and in a more comprehensive manner. The scheme which Sir John Pakington sketched out, and which ho proposes to embody in a bill, amounts shortly to this :—Ho proposes to take advantage of the division of the kingdom, which has already been effected for the pur poses of the admiu;stration of the Poor-law, for the objects of his bill, and to constitute each union an educational district, within which the provisions of the bill are to be administered by a board elected by the suffrages of the ratepayers, and strengthened by the addition of the magistrates within its area, whose office is to constitute them members of it. The moans for supplying education to the population are to be furnished by the imposition of a rate, aided by proportional graynts to be voted by Parliament, and charged upon the Con solidated Fund, and that education is to be tendered to the Enclosure 1.

(Continued from our first edition of yesterday.) Mr. Macdonald, in continuation, said—Supposing he had consideqd it his duty to make any representation as to the state of the hospital, he should have gone to the Ambassador, and not to the medical head. The two hospital hulks had a medical staff of their own, but were still under the authority of the hospitals on shore. The transport system for the Kick was not a special one. The operation of landing was under the disposal of Ad. miral Boxer ; but during the passage, and previous to landing, the sick were under the direction of the medical officer of the vessel. Mr. Ellice—Whose duty was it to supply food and comforts to the sick and wounded on board the tran sports, after their arrival in the Bosphorus, and before they were landed ? Mr. Macdonald—Food wa4s supplied by the captain ef the vessel under the authority of the Admiralty ' • and medical comforts and medi c i nes were di s t r ib u t e d b y the medical department ; so thr.t, in fact, it was necessary that the authorities of two departments should interfere in the matter. Mr. Layard—When the sick were paced in the hos pitals, to whom was application to be made for bedding and other necessaries? Mr. Macdonald—The purveyor was the person. Mr. Layard—Will 'you be kind enough to explain to the committee your own mode of proceeding whilst you were at Scutari ? Mr. Macdonald then entered into a detailed statement of the course he pursued with regard to the purchase and administration of necessaries and comforts to the sick and wounded, stating that in his exertions he was ma terially assisted by the co-operation and kind offices of Miss Nightingale. He added that he supplied one regi ment (the 39th) with warm clothing on the application of the surgeon of that regiment. He obtained that clothing at Constantinople. The surgeon stated that it would be a charity to the men it the clothing were given to them, as they had come from a warm climate without any provision in the way of clothing for a colder tem perature. He (Mr. Macdonald) obtained the supply at Constantinople, and got it on board the next day. He never supplied any other regiment or persons going to the Crimea. He did, however, contribute medical com forts, bedding, Turkish quilts, and other articles, to the convalescents proceeding home in Government trans ports, on the application of the Rev. Mr. Sabine. By Mr. LayP,rd—Can you state what was the style of cooking in the hospitals ? Mr. Macdonald—The provision for this was of the modest possible kind, and there was a great deal of delay and irregularity in getting meals prepared and served up. For instance, if a mutton chop were ordered for a patient at one o'clock, it would not, perhaps, be ready before eight o'clock at night. By Colonel Lindsay—He knew of several persons having been asked by the sentries what there business was at the hospitals. But he had never been interfered with in that manner ; yet lie could not say why. He believed that in some hospitals it was not the custom to admit strangers. By Lord Seymour —He thought it advisable that strangers should have had admission at any time with out any formalities. Before he went out lie had an inter view with the Duke of Newcastle and Dr. Andrew Smith ; from the latter of whom he got a letter of intro duction to Dr. Cumming, and was also informed tbat no strangers were admitted to the hospitals except at certain times to see a patient, or to inspect it ; but, in either case, they must be accompanied by some official of the establishment. He was further told the same facility, compatible with these regulations, would be extended to him as a matter of course. On his arrival he called upon Dr. Menzies, and informed laim that he had come out with mosey for the rebel of the sick and wounded ; at the xame time requesting facilities for the :MILITARY. g cavalry Guards, srt regiments PrincessiTlL7 o s 4th in c Lighthtahe Dragoons,. r Orders have been transmitted from rn the Horse Guards addressed to the commanding offic ers of the severa l cavalry depots at Manchester, Norwich, York, Piershill, Exeter, Sheffield, Maidstone, Cant er b ury, Dorchester, and Newbridge (Ireland), to hold i,nsreadiness ditto, cation as meny disciplined mounted m en as may be avail ii f t u li r e p in r b in a r, r- e a c b r l i e m t e ze v i i r z if . o ; r — ce 4 t ti l l ie D fo ra ll g o o w o i n n lotte of Wales's Dragoon Guards, let Royal Dragoons, North2d 6th Enniskillen Bi-itishiisile Dragoons,iln Dragoons, Bth (Seots Grey s ) Royal Iri s h Albert's Own ditto, 13th Light Dragoons, and 17th Hussars, 10th Prince of Wales Lancers, It is estimated that the depot of each regi ment will be ab!e to supply at least two troops of 80 men each, making a total of 1,760 sabres. Ia addition to the above, the 6th Dragoon Guards (Carabineers) quartered at Hounslow, and the 15th Hussars, stationed at Exeter, are held in readiness to proceed to the seat of war. Each of these regiments can now muster up wards of 600 sabres. The 12th Lancers, 700 strong, are also on the route for the seat of war-Irons India. The draughts from the depots, with these three regiments, will make the.cavairy reinforcements amout to 3,660 sabres. Above 500 horses, for the remounts of the cavalry at present in the Crimea, will proceed in charge of the draughts which will embark early in the ensuing month. The Crossus, steam-transport, embarked Yesterday at ortsmouth Dockyard the Royal Wilts Militia, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Lord Methuen, for Corfu. The Resistance, troopship, yesterday embarked the detachments of troops specified in The Sun of Wednes day for Malta. The following circular has been issued from the Horse Guards, dated March 14 : _ _ " In consequence of a communication from the Secretary far War, the General Commanding-in-Chief directs that for every volunteer received from the militia, by recruiting parties, the regulated sum of 7s. fid. be paid to the militia sergeant upon final approval." STORIIY MAINE LIQUOR LAW MEETING AT EXETER.— Dr. Le e s, a z e alous advocate of the Maine Liquor Law, visited Exeter. on Tuesday for tho purpose of holding a public meeting in connexion with the suppression of the liquor traffic. Placards were issued by the oppositionists, and a crowded meeting was the result. Dr. Lees spoke for some time without interruptnn, but having made some alinsion to the Secretary of the Local Licensed Victuallers' Association the meeting became most up roarious ; hisses, cockcrowing, and other discordant noises drowned the speaker's voice; seats were broken, gas-lamps smashed, and several pugnacious encounters seemed imminent, when the chairman dissolved the meeting, and Dr. Lees had to snake the best of his way home for fear of a mobbing, The affair has caused much excitement in the city.

Mr. Macdonald —ls it quite certain that they have all left this country ? (Laughter) If the committee asks me my own explanation of the confusion in the trans port service I can answer them. In Turkey there is a want of three great requisites, wharves, warehouses, and roads. The Government being unacquainted with the absence of these great facilities send out giant steamers across the ocean to Constantinople and Balaklava ; and the consequence is when they arrive they are converted into store-houses. What is absolutely required is taken out of them and the rest is left behind in them and for gotten. It is just as though one end of London-bridge bad given way and the traffic was allowed to pass over it all the same—there was a smash at the other end. Mr. Drummond—What do you think then became of such stores as were sent out ? Mr. Macdonald—A great deal of them was wasted, a little was stolen, and a quantity was misplaced and lost sight of. After replying to a few further questions Mr. Mac donald retired with the thanks of the committee. Deputy Commissary General Stickney was then called, but only answered a few inquiries, when it was announced that the Speak er was at prayers, and The Committee thereupon adjourned until 12 o'clock on Monday. fulfilment Of that object.

HOME CIRCUIT.—MAIDSTONB, MAIICII 15. Stephen Kelsey was indicted for feloniously forging and uttering a promissory note for 1501., with intent to defraud. The circumstances under which this charge was pre ferred were of a rather peculiar character. It appeared that a society had been established at Whitstable, under the title of the Co-operating Society, the object of which appeared to be to purchase provisions and other neces saries at wholesale prices, the members of the society being entitled to the :privilege of purchasing them at those prices, with an addition of 71 per cent, for rent and other expenses. The society was carried on under the stperintendence of three persons, named Waters, Wheeler, and West, and prisoner was the secretary ;1 and it appeared that the entire management of the con cern was left to him—the three persons mentioned, who were the committee, taking very little share in it. It seemed that the operations of the society were not satis factory, and in July last year one of their creditors, a Mr. Barnwell, applied to the prisoner upon the subject of a debt of 400/. that was due to him, and insisted upon having some security, and the prisoner after a little ne gociation gave him a promissory note for 1501., bearing the signatures of the three persons who formed the com mittee, and also his own as secretary. It appeared that the prisoner paid the amount of the note out of money that came into his hands ; but when he applied for the promissory note Mr. Barnwell, for some reason or other, could not give it up, and told him it was destroyed. The society after this got into still greater d;fficulties, and upon an examination of the accounts, it was found that they were 1,000/. in debt, and the prisoner failed to give any satisfactory account respecting the defi ciency, and subsequently absconded, and upon the society being made acquainted with the transaction relating to the promissory note in question, the pre sent charge was preferred against him and he was taken into custody. These facts were proved in evi dence, and the three persons whose names appeared to the bill were examined, and they swore that the signatures were forgeries, and that the prisoner had no authority whatever to sign such an insrument in their behalf. Mr. Parry made a very ingenious address to the jury for the defence, and he contended, en behalf of the pri soner, that although he might have acted improperly, and even dishonestly, as regarded the society in refer ence to the money intrusted to him, yet that there was nothing to show that he had any intention to defraud either the society or Mr. Barnwell when he passed away the promissory note in question, and that the fact of his having paid it afterwards negatived the suspicion that be ever entertained any idea of committing a fraud. He likewise urged that in point of fact the prisoner was the principal member of the society, and had complete con trol over all matters connected with it, and that he might have considered himself authorised to put the names of the committee to such an instrument ; and he said that, although he might be wrong in law in enter taining such an opinion, yet, if he conscientiously did so, the jury would not be justified in convicting him of forgery under such circumstances. Mr. Bramwell, in summing up, told the jury it was his duty to inform them that if a person put the name of another to a bill of exchange or promissory note and passed it away, even if it should appear ever so clearly that he intended to pay the bill when it arrived at maturity, he was still undoubtedly guilty of forgery. The instrument was calculated to deceive and defraud every person to whom it was passed as bearing the genuine signature of the person whose name appeared upon it, and it was the object of the law to prevent such proceedings as being calculated to cause great incon venience and mischief in a commercial community. The learned gentleman then called the attention of the jury to the facts of the case, and said that the only questions they had to decide were whether the signatures to the promissory note in question were forged, and if so, whether, when it was uttered, there was an intention to defraud any person. The jury, after deliberating for some time, addressed the court and said they were of opinion that the signa tures were forged, but they did not think that there was any intention to defraud the society. Mr. Parry said that this was a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Bramwell was about to give some explanation to the jury, when Mr. Parry interposed and said that the court had no right to discuss the matter with the jury, and he should object to anything more being done than to ask if they had agreed upon their verdict. Mr. Brana'Well said be should certainly inform the jury that it was not necessary for them to be satisfied that the prisoner intended to defraud the society. He had pieced the promissory note as a genuine document to Mr. Barnwell, and they would consider whether or not he intended to defraud that gentleman by giving him a forged instrument. Mr. Parry said he must protest against the course that was taken by the learned judge, as being alien to every principle of the English law. He had all through the case evidently been actuated by the desire to get a ver dict, and his summing up was a reply, and during the whole of it he bad not said t.n3 word in favour of the prisoner. Mr. Bramwell said the learned counsel must be aware that such an observation was most irregular and impro per, and it compelled him to make this remark, that if he l:ad said nothing in favour of the prisoner, it wat be cause it appeared to him that there was really nothing to say, The jury then again deliberated, and after some time they gave a special verdict to the effect, that the pri soner had knowingly uttered a forged instrument with intent to deceive Mr. Barnwell, but without any inten tion to defraud ultimately. Mr. Parry asked the court to reserve the question of the effect of this verdict for the consideration of the Court of Criminal Appeal; but Mr. Bramwell said he was of opinion that it amounted to a verdict of guilty. He would, however, take advice upon the subject ; and in the meantime, he should postpone passing sentence. The prisoner was subsequently brought up for judg ment, and Mr. Bramwell said that lie Lad consulted the judges with reference to the verdict that had been de livered, and after full consideration, the result arrived at was that the prisoner Lad been properly convicted. The offence of fOrgery is a very serious one under any circumstances, and in the present case there could be no doubt that the prisoner had committed the crime in order to conceal other peculations. Under these circum stances, Le felt it big duty to order him to be kept in penal servitude for four years. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.-YORK, MARDI 14. THE OTLEY MURDER. Mary Blessing, 45, was charged with the wilful mur der of 'Francis Blessing, her uncle, at Otley, on the Bth of January last. Mr. Hardy and Mr. Middleton were for the prosecution. Mr. Dearsley defended. The prisoner is tha wife of a man named Bryan Bles sing, living in Otley. The deceased, Francis Blessing, uncle to the prisoner's husband, was an infirm old man 84 years of 3, 4 e, who, for many years, had lived with the prisoner and her husband. Deceased obtained his living by begging, as his age and infirmities prevented him from doing any work.
