ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL COM MITTEE. [A portion of the following appeared in our first edi- tion of yesterday.] The inquiry was resumed this morning at the usual hour. There was, as usual, quite a crush for the occupation of the space assigned to the public. The first witness called was Colonel Kinlock. In reply to Mr. Drummond, he stated that he had suggested to Lord Cardigan and Lord Raglan that mules night be advantageously purchased in Spain for the use of the army. He `was told that the plan was very good, but very expensive. That was in March. Throe months afterwards, however, he was sent for by the Treasury, and was ordered to proceed to Spain for the purpose of collecting mules ; and he succeeded in purchasing 500 at 241. 10s. each. The estimate he had previously given to the Treasury was 301. each. The first 300 of them were embarked at Barcelona, 14 days after they were bought ; the others remained there from September until the middle of Be- ember. He could not state at what cost they were maintained during that period, as the commissariat kept the accounts. Mr. Ellice—How many mules could you have obtained ? Witness—As many as I chose. By Mr. Layard—He superintended the embarkation of the mules, and he believed the delay in the transport arose from defects in the service. They had a good supply of forage on the voyage. Major-General the Earl of Cardigan was next called upon for examination. In reply to the chairman, he stated that he com manded the Light Cavalry Brigade, and joined them at Scutari in May hat. He arrived after two portions of hie regiments had come, but they had not all arrived. They went from thence to Varna about the 3d June ; but there was no particular provision made there for the reception of the troops. He thought there were great defects in the system of disembarking cavalry—it ought to be improved. The weather was fine when they were there. Forage had arrived for the horses. They encamped outside the town, but removed from there i❑ a few days. We went to Devna. Whilst there sickness broke out amongst the troops, but the brigade he commanded was most fortunate in this respect, and did not suffer mate rially. Chairman—What was the encampment at Devna The Earl of Cardigan—lt was very good, and very near some water. There were then four regiments of cavalry and some of horse artillery—in all about 1,200 men. They had plenty of room for all purposes. Ile could not attribute the sickness of the men from crowding. Chairman—Was there any difference in the position of your men when sickness broke out from what it was before? The Earl of Cardigan—None whatever. He lost 50 or 60 men in a very short time. His men were well sup plied with fresh meat, and bread, and biscuits. The bread was at first very bad ; but he complained to head quarters, and it improved. The brigade afterwards re turned to Varna fur embarkation for the Crimea ; and for the time encamped on favourable ground. It was laid to be a healthy spot, but he feared not, as there were reports that the proximity of the lake was preju dicial. The embarkation was conducted with facility, and without accident, by means of rafts. On arriving in the Crimea the disembarkation was also well conducted, and in man-of-war boat , . Chairman—l believe the weather was very bad when you arrived Earl of Cardigan—Yes, it was. The directions given to the men, however, were to go on shore without their tents. He was sent by order of Lord Raglan to cut off an advance of Russian cavalry supposed to be proceeding from Odessa, but he heard nothing of them, and returned to the camp very late, and the men had to bivoiack in the open air. They arrived at Balaklava on tke 2dth September. After the battle of the Alma they remained on the ground two days, to bury the dead, and they then marched 'onwards. We lost no men at Alma ; they were exposed to fire, but were not called into action. All the forage"that could be pro cured was provided for his brigade in the Crivaea at first, but after the action at Balaklava the supply was by no means so good. Just previously to Inkerman great want of forage existed. He attributed this to the great difficulties which had to be encountered in bringing it up from Balaklava. 400 horses had to be shot after the charge at Balaklava„ and 360 were killed in that action. At first there was no great sickness amongst the men, but after November they suffered greatly. Chairman—How were they supplied with provisions r Earl of Cardigan—Up to the time he left the Crimea in December he had beard of no complaints in this re spect. They had hospital tents attached to the brigade, but they were not very well adapted to the purpose. The horses suffered, during November, very much from ex posure. As to medical attendance, so far as his brigade was concerned lie never heard of a deficiency. There were two coumissaried attached to- the brigade ; and they exerted themselves to the utmost, and discharged their duties very efficiently. When he left the clothing of the men was becoming very ragged and worn out. No winter clothing had arrived. Some persons bad been sent to Constantinople in November to obtain winter clothing for his men, but when he arrived there he found them still there ; not having suc ceeded in accomplishing the object of their mission. He believed it was at first supposed that the troops would not winter in the Crimea. The weather then had become ♦ery bad. The Chairman—At that time had the men a change of clothing The Earl of Cardigan—The men landed in patrol order ; that was with a blanket and a spare shirt, an; were ordered to leave their valises behind. Those who subsequently obtained the latter were better off than those who were not so fortunate. The valises were left behind to relieve the horses of the weight. The horses, however, were in excellent condition, and the weight of the valises had been diminished, many articles having been lef, out. MI:, Ellice—Do you think, then, it would have inter fereri with the efficiency of the horses if they had car ried the valises! Lord Cardigan—MY opinion is that it would not. The condition of the men as to boots and shoes when he left was very bad in-deed. By General Peel—lt was not until after the battle of Inkerman that it was generally understood that the army 'was. to winter in the Crimea. He should say it -would scarcely be possible for horses to exist throu,thout a Crimean winter without a proper supply of hay f.irage. In reply too Mr. Ellice, his lordship said he had no ticed the filf,hy condition of the town and harbour of Balak/ara ; -and stated that he understood the Turks were ealledL upon to clean the former, but that there was Rome obj ection to their having been so employed They we re .a,fterwarde offered pay for their labour, bu without producing any effect. No attempt whilst be was the re was made to clean out the harbour ; but he should tfr _link it might have been cleaned out in a couple of day a Capt. Christie, he believed, was considered as t h e (a lief authority in the harbour. The system which prevailed in the harbour, however, was in contra "' of all order or regularity. Whilst Capt. Chris ti and his staff were supposed to command the harbour d to have the management of all vessels in it, they aefnmed to be subject to the orders of any man-of-war - *leo might come into the port. Mr. Ellice—Are you aware that large amounts of sitores and forage came in transport vessels to Balaklava, 'inel went away again and made one or two trips back -wards and forwards before discharging their cargoes ? Lord Cardigan replied that he was aware of such hav ing been the case. A. vessel laden partially with boots came and went away in this manner ; but he could not say positively whether this was at the time when the men wasted boots most—but they were always needful. As far as his own opinion went he thought an officer with full powers of control and sole authority ought to be stationed at Balaklava to manage the harbour. Mr. Ellice --Then you are of opinion that the pesti ferous state of the port of Balaklava and the d ef i ciency in the stores was attributable to the absence of any „ c _ trol or individual authority ? Lord Cardigan-4 am clearly of that opinion. By Mr. Layard. — The h orses could have subsisted on Chopped straw and barley a s well as ha y . The Turkish cavalry subsisted upon hay and by green food. It might not be prudent to depend upon supplies of hay Irene home when a protracted campaign was anticipated. officers' horses were covered at night but it c; as with cloth ing purchased at their own expense—the others were of c.,urse exposed at their pickets. When he left he was not aware that any huts had been erecto,l for the shelter of the horses. He did not think any old sails procured from the ships would have made very useful covering for horses. He constantly saw Commissary-Generae.l Filder. He never came to the brigade to see what was wanted. He (Lord Cardigan) did not conceive it to be Lis duty. When he left the horses were not in a fit state for active service. A number of Russian horses were given to the light cavalry, but were not used long on account of their being not sufficiently active for cavalry purposes. They were, however, used for draught horses, for which they were more adapted. The original strength of the Wiffi. THE SUN. LONDON, THURSDAX EVENING, MARCH is, Light Cavalry Brigade when they first went to the Crunea was 1,250 men ; but when he left there were only 300 fit for service. He was not aware of the means by which the wounded were removed after the Bala -I:lava charge ; indeed, ho never heard where the missing men were until the surgeons reported that they were on board ship. He had no idea how the surgeons got them there. The sick, however, were always removed by the ambulance carts. ---- --- Mr. Layard—Hoc were the supplies of medical stores Lord Cardigan replied that he bad heard complaints in Bulgaria—but none in the Crimea in this particular. There was a veterinary surgeon to each regiment. He did not think the horses suffered from want of shoes, for they did not wear out so rapidly as on hard roads. In reply to Sir J. Pakington, his lordship said he had never visited Karniesh Bay. By Lord Seymour—The tents which were supplied to his brigade were not defective ones ; and he had never heard the men complain of them. The manner in which the horses were disembarked was by rafts, which were towed by the men-of-war boats. By Col. Lindsay—He did not think it was possible to construct a shelter for a brig ide of c weary buries by ex cavating the ground, and covering it with timber. The plan might answer very well for a few, but not for so large a number. He was not aware whether there were any horses attached to the siege train as distinct from the artillery. His lordship then retired. Mr. Macdonald, the correspondent of the Throes, ad ministering the sick and wounded fund raised by that journal, was next examined. In reply to Mr. Ellice, he stated that he first went to Scutari in November last. Before he went out he had an interview with the Duke of Newcastle, and Dr. An drew Smith on the subject of his mission ; and bath of them expressed a conviction that such a fund as that raised by means of the Times would be of very little ad vantage. They admitted hearing reports that had reached this country to the effect that there was great suffering from want amongst the sick and wounded at Scutari, but they doubted them, and stated that if wants ever existed they would have by that time ceased. Dr. Smith appeared to state this as a matter of conviction. Mr. Ellice—Having stated these opinions as conveyed to you by the Duke of Newcastle and Dr. Smith, have the goodness to state to the committee what you found on your arrival. Mr. Macdonald said he found two hospitals at Scu tari, one the General Hospital ; and the other a sup plementary or Barrack Hospital. The former was the medical head-quarters, but the latter was the larger of the two. There were also two convalescent hospitals— one a Turkish hulk and another an English vessel. He had no idea of the number of sick and wounded in these hospitals and aboard those vessels, as there were great confusion and irregularity in the manner in which the returns of deaths were made. Mr. Ellice —..Who was at the head of the medical de partment of those establishments Mr. Macdonald—Dr. Menzies, and all these hospitals were under his direction and superintendence. He had a very inadequate staff until the arrival of the Vectis, with nurses and a medical staff, in November. The general hospital, being originally built for an hospital, presented a better appearance than the other. It was much more quiet, and contained beds; and so far the men were well provided for. It was intended at first to reserve it at first for severe cases, but the more ex tended accommodation in the barrack hospital rendered it the place to which the worst cases were subsequently consigned. Mr. Ellice—Were there any bedsteads in that hos pital ? Mr. Macdonald.—One-third of the patients he should say were on bedsteads ; the other two-thirds being in beds upon the floor. In the general hospital there was a deficiency of beds, but otherwise the patient; were well provided for. He thought the " orderly" system as it was carried on in our service was most ob jectionable. The men were not fitted for their duty, and they lived in the wards amongst the patients, which frequently rendered them victims to the pestilential air. The floors of the barrack hospital were ba,l ; indeed, it, had undergone but little preparation as an hospital. It win., iu fact, in such a state that there was but little hope of a patient recovering within the usual period At the time of his arrival he should say there were from 1,500 to 1,800 patients in the barrack hospital. Not being head-quarters the medical staff was inadequate, until the arrival of the Vectis. The two supplemental ship hospitals lay in the Golden Horn. There were no beds for the men, except 25 in the Turkish hulk. Mr. Ellice —Holy were the patients as to the state of their clothing ? Mr. Macdonald—They were very poorly clad, and many of them had nothing but their coats. Those who were not provided with beds lay upon the floor in the clothes in which they arrived, or in their blankets. There were about 650 men in the two vessels. He should think when he arrived there wore 2,800 patients of all descriptions in the four hospitals. That was previous to the battle of Inkerman. After the arrival of the fresh patients the hospitals were greatly overcrowded, but they were much more comfortable. The ladies and nurses had arrived and supplied those wants in the way of attendance which were so inuch felt previously. Still there was little real improvement. The first visit he male to the hospital he found the men cheerful and apparently at ease, but on his second visit they were despondent and silent. The purveying department was not worthy the name. The first purveyor who was sent out was Mr. Ward, a per son upwards of 70 years of age, who was exhausted by a walk from the general to the barrack hospital, a distance of a quarter of a mile. He had two assist tilts and two boys—a most inefficient staff. Lord Stratford de Redcliffe only visited the hospitals once to his know ledge ; and he believed that the only consul who took any active interest in them was Mr. Calvert, of the erdanelles. Mr. Ellice—Well, then, you arrived at Constantinople with large supplies of money, to be applied to the pr,- motion of the comforts of the sick ? Mr. Macdonald—Yes. Most of the things he sup pliei were bought at Constantinople, with the exception of tea. The things of which there was a positive defi ciency in the hospitals were tea, arrow root, sago, sugar, port wine, Marsala, brandy, and a variety of other mat ters ; and those he supplied—as also clothing, of which there was likewise a great want. Mr. Ellice—What was the condition of the sick and wounded who arrived ? Mr. Macdonald—No language can describe their de plorable condition. They were almost destitute of cloth ing; and frequently without bed utensils and articles re quired for personal cleanliness ; and sometimes without medicines. Four hours was the average time occupied in disembarkation, and laying the men on their beds. No proper means of transporting the sick and wounded were provided by the authorities, and the stretcher 4 were of a very uncomfortable character, and not fitted for the purpose. Sometimes in bad weather they were taken to the hospitals without covering. Mr. Ellice—Can you tell us what was the condition generally of the sick and wounded on board ship when they arrived ? Mr. Macdonald—Some of them were without shoes, or with such as one observed upon mendicants. Their shirts had been thrown away from utter disgust at their filthiness. Their persons were covered with vermin. Their trowsers were torn into shreds—their coats were ragged, and only hung on their backs. Some were with out coats at all, and others wore the coats of comrades who had died on the passage. Fresh clothes could not be supplied to them at the hospitals, and he was obliged to step in and minister to their wants out of the fund at his disposal. At the same time, however, ample supplies of clothing could have been obtained at Constantinople, where he himself bought some. For five weeks alter his arrival there was no washing done. Dirty clothes were put under the patients' beds, covered not only with ver min but excrement. Miss Nightingale, on her arrival, took immediate steps to endeavour to remedy this state of things, and the floors were cleaned. Thera was a laundry attached to the hospital, but by some reason or other it had become filled with chopped straw, and was so up to the time ho left. It was under stood that the washing department was under the direc tion of the purveyor. [At this portion of the evidence Mr. Macdonald handed to the committee a list of the articles which he had been the 'means of distributing by means of the Times' fund.] He then went on to state that he paid a visit to the Crimea in September, but was only at Balaklava a few days. The object of his going was to see the manner in which a quantity of things he had forwarded there had been made use of. Whilst there he inspected the hos pitals. With them he had no cause of complaint, but wherever the medical and purveying depart ments were concerned difficulties were sure to arise ; and there were various deficiencies, such a 3 in port wine, arrow-root, sometimes of opium, although from Constantinople, which was the first mar ket in the world for that article, of course unlimited supplies might have been obtained. Mr. Ellice—Whose duty was it to make arrangements for the providing of those comforts Mr. Macdonald—lt was the duty of the purveyor, who bore the same relation to the hospital as the corn. missary did to the army generally. The supply of opium would depend on the apothecary, who was another very old officer. He did not think the medical inspector had any control over those two officers. Whilst at Ealaklavm he noticed the condition of the harbour, which was a perfect cesspool, and there was an intolerable effluvia from the burial ground. He attrributed the mismanagement of the hospital to the want of their organisation under a single head. He returned to Scutari in February last. Mr. Elli ce —Did you find any improvement on your return there! Mr. Macdonald—Yes, much improvement. Dr. Cumming established there as medical . inspec-tor, .

The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after 12 o'clock. MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER. Mr. HEYWOOD brought in his Marriage Law Amendment Bill, which was read a first time, a►nd or• dered to be read a record time on Wednesday, the 18th cf April. PRIVATE BILL. The Gateshead Qaays and Improvements Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. PETITIONS. Mr. MUNTZ and several other hon. members pre sented petitions in favour of the Friendly Societies Bill. Mr. A. PELLATT and Mr. WILLIAMS presented similar petitions from the trade societies of Southwark and Lambeth. PUBLIC RECORDS. Mr. MACARTNEY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether any and what arrangements were in con templation for the management and preservation of the pablic records in the Bermingha►n Tower, owing to the death of the Earl Stanhope, late keeper of said recorde? Mr. HORSMAN said no arrangement had yet been come to, but the sutiect was n3w under the considera tion of the Lord-Lientetiant. FRIENDLY SOCIETIES BILL. On the motion for eoine into committee on this hill, Mr. P, SC ROPE raidhe had no objection to that part of the hill which consolidated the la a 7 relating to fi iendly societies, but he could not assent to the appoint ment of a cominis, , ion, which the bill proposed, fur the regulation of these societies. Many of these societies, which entered into distinct engagements, ought not to have the prestige c inferred upon them of being sanc tioned by act of Parliament. His own opinion wtv, that they ought merely to sanction societies affording relief in case of sickness, and supported by monthly sub scriptions, but he strongly objected to lending the au thority of Parliament to societies which took money from their members upon the condition of pensioning them off at some very distant period. In the first case the loss would be lightly felt if the society miscarried either from defective calculations or mismanagement ; but in the second case the loss would fall heavily indeed upon the vast majority of the members. Sir G. GREY thought the object of the bill was most useful. It proposed to consolidate the law of friendly societies ; it was not a new bill, because a similar mea sure was before the house last session, when it was re ferred to a select committee ; and this bill was the re sult of that inquiry. Mr. BRIGHT said he had been too late to present some petitions in favour of this bill, but perhaps he might be allowed to state what was the purport of the petitions. One was signed by 1,700 heads of families connected with three friendly societies in Manchester, and they approved of the bill as a whole. Mr. A. PELLATT said the bill had been some time before the working-classes connected with these socie ties, who well knew how to take care of their own affairs, and they cordially approved of the measure. The house then went into committee on the bill. Clauses from 1 to 5 inclusive were agreed to. On clause six, Mr. MICHELL said the clause proposed to establish a Board of Commissioners for regulating friendly so cieties, but receiving no salaries the commissioners would not be responsible to any one for the due performance of their duties. It was quite sufficient that there should be a registrar, and therefore he moved the omission of this clause. Mr. SOTHERON said he proposed so to limit the functions of the commission, th:it its duties should be confined to simply giving inf ermation to friendly so cieties as to their powers and the construction of their rules. The commission knowing what had been done by existing societies, would be able to advise the founders of new societies as to the best mode of proceeding for the attainment of the object they might have in view. Mr. B NINES thought the bill would be just as good without this clan.,e as with it, because it was exceedingly doubtful whether an unpaid commissioner would effi ciently discharge its duties, even though they were con fined to simply giving advice and information. If, however, the committee determined to retain the spirit of the clause for the sake of establish ing a Board of Advice, the wording of the clause should be regulated as to stop the duty of the commis sion with the mere giving of advice to those who might choose to apply for it. Mr. BARRO\V objected to the commission altogether. He was opposed to flieudly societies, which undertook life assurance or annuity business ; they should be con fined to mere temporary purposes, such as providing for periods of sickness, and some table of rates should be issued by the Government applicable generally to the 1 whole country. Mr. HENLEY urged Mr. Sotheron, who had charge of the bill, to withdraw the clauses relating to this com mission, with a view to a reconsideration of the subject before bringing up the report. Mr. SOTHERON accepted this proposal, and asked leave to withdraw clauses 6,7, and S. . Mr. MICRELL ob.erved that, as the question was to be reconsidered, he would suggest that an actuary should be substituted for thelcorninissions, with power to give advice and regulate rates. Mr. ADD ERLY thought the appointment of a Go- Ternment actuary would be most objectionable. Clauses 6,7, and 8, - were then struck out. Clau=e3 10 018, inclusive, were agreed to, after a brief discuzsion. Came 19 was negatived. The remaining clauses of the bill were agreed to with out any important amendment. Thehoue then resumed. CATHEDRAL APPOINTMENTS ACT CON TINUANCE BILL. This bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. MEDICAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE SICK AND WOUNDED. On the order of the day for bringing up of the report of Supply. Mr. STAFFORD said it had been his intention to call the attention of the house at this stage to the present state of the medical arrangements for the sick and wounded iu the East, but under the circumstances, he would ask the house to postpone the report until Friday, in order to give him an opportunity of bringing the matter forward. On the suggestion of Mr. 'WILSON, and after a few words from Mr. F. PEEL, Mr. STAFFORD agreed to bring the subject forward on the motion for adjournment of the house on Friday night. SUPPLY. The report of the commissariat estimates was brought up and agreed to. DEAN FOREST BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. Some other business on the paper having been disposed of, the house adjourned at six o'clock. LA IV INTELLIGENCE.—March 14. ADMIRALTY COURT. THE MARE BREEDS.- COLLISION. This was a suit promoted by the schooner Kezia, of the burden of 127 tons, against the schooner Mark Breeds, of the burden of 124 tons, to obtain compensa tion for the loss su4ained by reason of a collision be tween them, 15 miles from Flamborough•head, at 5 a.m. on the 4th of December, 1853. The Kezia, coal laden, was proceeding from Sunderland to London ; the Mark Breeds, in ballast, was bound from Whitestable to Sun derland. The morning was so hazy that both vessels, as pleaded, sounded their fog horns continuously, and carried bright signal lights. The Kezia was on the star hoard tack when she descried, as she alleged, the Mark Breeds on the port tack, a point on her lee bow. She kept her course, but the Mark Breeds, instead of porting her helm, starboarded it, and ran into her. The Mark Breeds admitted that she had been in collision with a vesse l about the thee in question, but pleaded that it was a brig, and that the occurrence took place 16 miles from the place where the Kezia, met with the accident. Dr. Bayford and Dr. Deane were heard for the Kezia, Dr. Addams and Dr. Twiss for the Mark Breeds. The learned Judge, after consulting with the Elder Brethren, by whom he was assisted, said they were of opinion that the identity was cota6lielled and that Lbe Mark Breeds was to blame, and no fault was imputable to the Kezia. He must pronounce accordingly. THE CAMBRIDGE.-COLLISION. This was an action brought by the Greek bark Des pina, of the burden of 286 tons, against the Cambridge, a vessel of the burden of 1,225 tons, to recover the loss arising front a collision between them off Dun geness at half-past nine p.m. on the Ist of September, 1853. The bark was proceeding from Falmouth, where she had arrived a few days previously, to Antwerp with linseed. The Cambridge was bound from London to Calcutta with railway materials. According to the representation of the bark, she descried the Cambridge right ahead, distant a quarter of a mile, upon which she put her helm to port and hailed the Cambridge ' • but her course was not altered, and she ran into the bark with such force that she sank in a few minutes. The crew boarded the Cambridge, and were afterwards landed at Deal. The Cambridge, alleged that on first seeing the bark she ported h e r helm and afterwards hailed her, but the bark, without altering her course, ran into the Cambridge. She imputed the blame to the bark for not portinc , in time. The loss w a s es ti ma t e d at 8,5001. Dr.'Bayford and Dr. Dean were heard fo the Despina Dr. Robinson and Dr. Twiss for the Cambridge. The learned Judge, having conferred with the Elder Brethren, said they were of opinion that the Cambridge wwi alone to blame, and he therefore pronounced against her. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. SOUTH WA LES CIRCUIT. - CARMARTHEN, MARCIE 13. 311:RDEMNG A Win. Daniel .loaeB was indicted fa• the wilful murder of his wife, Hannah Jones, in the parish of Llanddarog, in this county, on the night of October 21. Mr. J. Evans, Q.C., Mr. Gowen, and Mr. Meriva,le, wer, counsel fur the prosecution ; Mr. Giffard defended the prisont.r. From the statement of the learned counsel for the prosecution, and the evidence (many of the witnesses being the prisoner's children) it appeared that the pri soner was a horse dealer in a small way of business, and he was occasi,nally'employed in haulling coals from the neighbouring pits to the town of Carmarthen. On the morning of the day named in the indictment, he left his home early in the morning with a load of coal for Laren. rthen. He did not reach his home until 12 z 'eloek at night. At that time the deceased was sit ing up f or him, with two children—wit girl of 11, and a boy of 8. The other children, boys of 13 and 12, I having retired to bed in an adjoining room. The pri soner had placed his cart in the carthouse, and his horse in the stable, before the children heard bins coming home. On his entering the house his wife asked him if he would have supper. The prisoner, whom some of the witnesses described as being under the influence of liquor, appeared very violent, and said to her, "No ; I have heard enough about you to-day. You have stripped for Bill Saunders." The wife denied the imputation, and, according to the evidence of the children, the only witnesses to this part of the transaction, their father commenced beating the deceased violently with the butt end of his whip, which was produced.. It was not a very formidable weapon. He then commenced shoving her towards the fire, when she fell. He then kicked her about . the lead and stomach. When she implored for mercy, he said, "I will not finish with you u.stil I kill you." The children, becoming alarmed, ran to the house of a neighbour named Rees, also of their uncle, David Jones. The prisoner shortly afterwards followed them, and begged Rees to come down to his house, "as he had given an unfortunate blow to his wife." Eventually Rees, his wife, and David Jones, prisoner's brother, went down to prisoner's house, and they found the de ceased Trite dead on a bed, her face, head, and other portions of the body presenting a frightful appearance. There were six or seven deep cuts and bruises on the head and floe, with marks of burning. One of the pri soner's children said that, on looking in :it the window after leaving the house, he saw his hsther take some fire out of the grate and throw it with a tin upon his mother, as she lay upon the floor. He also saw him beat her with a small stool. There was no witness to the main part of the violence, as the children had left the house betore the unfortunate woman was deal. Rees found in the house a piece of an iron ploughshare cevered wit's hair and blood. He picked up some hair from the floor. Prisoner, who had become very violent, called for a knife to cut his throat, but. Rees restrained him. He also asked that witness and his wife to assist in laying her out and that she must be buried on the following Tuesday ; that it was quite unnecessary to give any information to the coroner, as he (prisoner) had last seen her alive. He offered the wife a sovereign for washing the body, but she declined, and prisoner then did so himself. Some evidence was likewise given, with the view of showing express malice. This consisted of a threat against his wife used by the prisoner five weeks before ; also of an expression used by him to a female whom he met at a house at which he called on his road home, to the effect —" The old woman is almost breaking my heart. I will put an end either to her or myself this night." The me dical evidence was not very satisfactory with reference to the weapon by which the frightful wounds on the head were caused. It was suggested on the part of the prose cution that some of them might have been produced by kicks from the heavy plated shoes worn by the prisoner, and others by blows from the iron ploughshare produced. To some of the witnesses who visited the house imme diately after the occurrence, the pr4ener said that the injuries resulted from the kicks of his horse while the decased was assisting him to release the animal from the cart. At the conclusion of the case for the prosecution, the court adjourned, the jury being conducted to lodgings provided for them. Next morning(Tuesday) Mr. Giffard addressed the jury at great length, contending that the crime amounted not to murder, but to manslaughter. Mr. Justice Crompton having ininut dy summed up the evidence, the jury retired at half-past one o'clock. On their return to court, in the course of tin minutes, they pronounced a verdict of manslaughter. Sentenced to transportation for life. This concluded the business of the assizes. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.-YORK, MARCH 13. 100TH V. THE LANCASIIRE AND YORKSHIRE RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action brought to recover compensation in damages for an injury received by the plaintiff in a collision on the defendants' railway. The defendants paid 251. into court, and pleaded that this wai sufficient compensation. The plaintiff replied, taking this sum, that he had received greater damage, upon which issue was joined. Mr. Watson, Q.C., and Mr. Bagley appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Serjeant Wilkins and Mr. Tomlinson for the defend ,nts. The plaintiff, it appeared, was an attorney at Roch dale, but acting as the managing clerk to another attor ney in that town. On the 21st of October last he had occasion to travel by the defendants' railway by the half-past eight a.m. train, and when between Todmorden and Eastwood the train in which he was travelling at the rate of 25 miles an hour ran into another train on the same line, breaking the carriage in which the plain tiff was sitting, bruising the calf of his leg against the seat, and giving him a blow in the pit of his stomach, which caused him great pain. The blow on the stomach caused constipation in the bowels for several days, for which ho took caster oil. His kidneys were also af fected, for which his back was rubbed with turpentine, and he was confined from business about days. In con sequence of the concussion his nervous system had been much shaken, and he had become nervous. The me dical man who was called to prove the injuries the plain tiff had received, was cross-examined as to what " ner vousness" was, and, after various attempts at an expla nation, he gave it up, and said it v, /IA inexplicable. A cold would produce constipation in the bowels. His bill for attending the plaintiff was Si. 10s. For the defence it was contended by Mr. Serjeant Wilkins that the plaintiff had made the most of the lucky piece of bueiaess into which he had got on his own an count, and that if he were paid at the same rate every two or three months for such accidents he would find it a much more profitable occupation than quill driving. The surgeon's explanation of what " nervousness" was, said the learned serjeant, reminded, him of a question put at a railway station by an old lady to a very porn• pons-looking gentleman who was talking loudly about steam communisation. " Pray, Sir, what is steam ?" "Steam, Ma'm, is, ah !—steam is—eh !* all !—steam is steam !" " I knew that chap couldn't tell ye, said a rough-looking fellow, standing by, " but steam is a bucket of water in a tremendous perspiration." (Laugh ter.) The jury must not let themselves be decieved by the karst words of the surgeon, who could not ex plain what they meant, when in reality they meant the commonest ailments, which might have come upon the plaintiff from catching a cold ; and for such real injury as he had suffered he submitted the 251. paid into court was ample compensation. His Lordship, having summed up, left it to,the jury to say whether the amount paid into court was sufficient compensation for the injuries the plaintiff had received ; if they thought it was they would find for the defen dants ; if not, they would give the plaintiff such further sum as they thought the justice of the case demanded. The jury retired, and, after a short absence, found a ♦erdict for the defendants. iiololol PO LICE IN TELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. —6 Itarlest Christian, Mollar was brought before Sir R. W. Carden, for final examination, upon the charge of having robbed his employers, Messrs. Gibson Nicholls and Co. of 63, King William - street, notaries, of the am oun t o f sundry bills received by him for them. The extent of the robbery was to the amount of upwards of 3,0001. Much interest was excited, not only by the circumstances of the robbery, and the clever manner in which it was executed, but by the ra pidity with which the discovery was followed by the ap prehension of the delinquent and the recovery of the property, and the justice-room was filled with mercan tile men. Mr. Mullens, the solicitor to the Bankers' Association, attended for the prosecution. The following was the additional evidence : Mr. G. Gibson Nicholls -who, it will be recollected, upon the first examination stated that it was' the duty of the prisoner to receive the amount of the bills entrusted to him to present for payment, and that the bills pro duced formed part of those he was to take out upon the occasion- said : In audition to these bills there was another bill for 2001., also payable at the Union Bank ; and the prisoner had likewise entered in his walk-book as having taken out for collection bills to the amount of 623/. 14s. ld., payable at Smith, Payne, and Smith's, and bills amounting to 1,072/. 13s. 11d. payable at the London and Westminster Bank. If he had received the amount of all these bills it would have been his duty to bring it to me that afternoon. air. Thomas Sumner, clerk to the prosecutors, said— On the sth of March I delivered to the prisoner the bills payable at the London and Westminster Bank, amount ing to 1,0721. 13s. 11d., is order that he might go there and get the money for them. Mr. Augustus Pastoralli, cashier of the Union Bank of London, in Princes-street, said—On the sth of March the prisoner brought this bill of exchange for 2001. I paid him with a 2001. note, No. 05,795, dated 10th Jan., 1855. Mr. Thomas Metcalf, clerk to Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co., said—On the sth of March the prisoner brought to me five bills of exchange, amounting to 617/. 14s. ld. I paid him that amount in a 5001. note, a 100/. note, and a 201. (The particulars were given in by the witness.) Mr. David Nicholls, clerk in the London and West minster Bank, Lothbury, said— On the sth of March, ten bills of exchange, amounting to 1,072/. 13s. lid., were brought to me by somebody from Messrs. G. Nicholls and Co. I paid them with bank notes, the number and dates of which I give in, and 21. 13e. lid. in money. The notes are receipted on the back, "C. Mollar." Mr. Frederick Pearson, clerk in the issue department of the Bank of England, stated that on the sth of March he changed the two bank notes for 1,0001. each for the prisoner with six bank notes for 3001. each, and a 2001. bank note. Mr. Bailey, of the issue department of the Bank of Eneland, produced all the bank notes alluded to in the evidence. Mr. P. Gowse, cleik to Messrs. Bauer and Co., of 133, Ltadenhall-street, bullion merchants, said—On the sth of March the prisoner brought to me two Bai.k of England notes, of the value together of 5001., one of which was the 2001. bank note numbered 05796 pro duced. I gave Urn in exchange French notes value 12,500 frai:cs. Changed both notes at the Bank of Eng land on the satire day. I think he had been inquiring the week before at the office about exchanging for foreign money. Mr. Adolphus; Baum, of the firm of Baum, Sons, and Co., of Lombard-:street, bullion merchants, said—Oethe 2d of March the prisoner came to our shop, and asked what he could have a considerable amount of French money for. I told him the price, and on the sth he brought to me the bank notes now produced, the one for 3001. and the other for 100/., and I gave him in ex change French and Belgian notes for 1,900 francs, and French gold value B,IOQ francs. He expressed a wish to purchase a larger sum of foreign money, and placed , in my hand the 5001. note produced, numbered 31,800, 2. 1855 dated 13th of January, 1854. I did not ask him, but he.offeredt9 leave the note till next morning, when he would, he said, call for the French money in exchange. In consequence of something which occurred I made in quiries, and traced the note in question to Messrs. Nicholls and Co., to whom I communicated what had taken place. Mr. Mullens—We are greatly indebted to Mr. Baum for his extraordinary exertions on the occasion. His activity principally led to the detection of this extensive plunder. Mr. S. Montagu, partner in the firm of Samuels and Montagu,- of 21, Cornhill, bullicn merchants, said—On the Xth of March the prisoner brought to me three 3001. bank notes, and I gave him in exchange French and Belgian notes to the amount of 16,000 francs, and gold to the amount of 6,545 francs. I sent the notes by my clerk to the Bank in the presence of the prisoner, before we settled with him. The clerk to the last witness identified one of the 3001. notes which he had taken to the Balk. Mr. Adam Spellman, bullion merchant, of Lnmbard street, proved that on the sth of March he ga e to the prisone► 20,000 francs in French notes, and 40 francs in gold, in exchange for three bank noes for 2001. each. Henry Goddard said—l was formerly one of the prin cipal officers at Bow-street. In consequence of infor mation which I received I went to Dover, and on the morning of the 6th of March I saw the prisoner walk ino, about the streets there, and followed him to the Dover Castle Hotel. I afterwards saw him go out, and then come in again, and I then pr,Hented bun with a card of Messrs. Gibson Nicholls arid Co., and asked him whether he was attached to the firer. He appeared ti be very nervous, and said, "Yes." I asked him to step into a back room, and requested the waiter to bring him his baggage, and the waiter brought iu the carpet bag I pro duce. I asked the prisoner if thAt was Lis bag, and he raid yes. I then took from his side coat pocket a pocket book full of foreign notes, and a small purse, containing some silver. I asked him for the key of the carpet bag. and I unlocked it, and found in it two bags full of French gold. The pocket-book and purse I had taken from him I placed in the carpet lyig, which I then locked up, and I then brought him to London, and handed him over to Daniel Forrester, together with the carpet big and its contents. I had been previously in communication with Mr. Forrester on the subject, and hal gone to Dover according to an afrangement which I had made with him. Daniel Forrester, principal officer at the Mansion house, said—Oa the 6th of March, the prisoner was brought to me by Goddard, who gave to me a bag I pro duce, and a key. I examined the bag, and found it contained foreign notes and gold t ) the amount of 64,820 francs ;" also three and ' a quarter Napoleons, value 65 francs ; also a 501. note, numbered 19,154, dated Bth January, 1855 ; a 201. note, numbered 42,596, dated 6th January, 1855 ; and a 251. note, dated 6th January, 1855. Mr. Mullens said with the last witness he completed - the case for the prosecution, and the whole of the notes which had passed into the hands of the prisoner were effectually traced. Sir R. W. Carden then asked the prisoner in the usual terns whether he was desirous to make any observation. The prisoner —Nothing, sir. Sir R. W. Carden—You stand committed for feloni- ously embezzling and stealing from Messrs. Nicholls and Co., your masters, the several sums of 1,3021. 2s. 10d., 1,0721. 13s. 11d., 6231. 14s. id., and 2001. I think it necessary to state here that the public are deeply indebted to Messrs. Baum for the remarkable exertions made by the gentlemen who represented them, were it not for which it is probable that the prisoner would have escaped detection for some time. I also consider it incumbent upon me to speak in terms of strong approbation of the conduct of the Forresters, who have so often by their zeal and activity served the commercial public, and who by the talent quietly exhibited on the present occasion have increased their claim upon approbation. Committed for trial. GUILDHALL. —J oseph Cleasby, a lad about 15 years of age, was charged with the following robbery on his employer : Mr. Nosworthy, a lithographer, of 79 Coleman-strest, said the prisoner was in his employ, and about three months ago he sent him to get a cheque for Si. cashed. On that oceaAion the prisoner absconded with the money and shortly after wrote to his master stating that he had been robbed of part of the money, and, not liking to re turn, he had gone down to Greenwich with the view of getting a berth in a ship to go to sea, but nat succeed ing, and having spent the remainder of the money, he had returned home. Witness believed his story and took him again into his employ. On Feb. 24, however, the prisoner again absconded, having broken open the cash box in witness's absence and decamped with about 161., consisting of a 51. note, five sovereigns, and about 61. in silver. He had not seen the prisoner since that time un til he was taken into custody. Alderman Humphery (to prisoner)--What have you to say to this charge ? Prisoner—l have nothing to say against it. I took the money ; it was only 151. Alderman Humphery - -How did you spend it ? Prisoner—ln going to different places of amusement at the West end. Alderman Humphery—But you could not have spent the whole of 151. in that way. Prisoner—Yes, I did. I went to the Panopticon, the Great Globe, the Diorama, the Collosseam, and the Poly technic during the day, and at night I went to the theatre. Alderman Humphery—What part of the theatre did you go to ? Prisoner—l went to the boxes. I had no one with me at any time. When the theatres were over I slept at the nearest coffee-shop each night. Alderman Humphery—But you could not have spent 151. in that manner on yourself alone. Prisoner—There were plenty of ways of spending it, but I/could not say exactly how I spent it. The most I spent in one day was 10s. Alderman Humphrey—What did you do with the first Si. you went away with three months ago ? Prisoner—l had four sovereigns stolen from my waist coat pocket near the Royal Exchange, and the rest I spent. Alderman Humphery—l think you could not have spent all the money on yourself, and I shall therefore re mand you, in order that the officers may find out your companions. The prisoner was then remanded. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. THE BALTIC FLEET. Rear-Admiral Robert Lambert Baynes arrived at Portsmouth yesterday, and hoisted his flag (blue at the wizen) on board the Cantaur, 6, paddle frigate, Captain Clifford, in the fittieg basin, as third in command of the Baltic fleet. No salutes were exchanged. The fleet at Spithead was augmented yesterday by the arrival of the Majestic, 81, Captain J. Hope, C.B. The Archer, Captain Heathcote. The Dragon, 6, paddle-frigate, Captain Stewart. The Bulldog, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander A. G. Gordon. The former was from the Nore, and the latter from Plymouth. The Exmouth, 01, Captain the Hon F. T. Pelham, flag of Rear-Admiral of the Blue Michael Seymour (second in command of the Baltic fleet), was reported as off Portsmouth last night at dark, but the weather was very thick, and no reports were brought in after sunset. Unless some arrangement is come to prior to entering upon the scene of action as regards the distinguishing flags of the several admirals commanding this fleet much confusion must ensue, for as all their three flags arc blue at the mizen, and consequently all their ensigns and pennants alike, it will be impossible to signal safely or correctly in smoke or fog, so as to convey the quar ter from .which the signals are made. The Blenheim, 60, Captain Hall, was taken over to sailing moorings in Portsmouth harbour yesterday to have ber compasses adjusted prior to joining the fleet. The Lk, 21, Captain Birch, one of the contract-built steam-corvettes, has given much trouble to our dockyard authorities since she has been fitted out. During her late cruise in the channel she nearly proved a coffin for all on boar!, owing to the water she took in ; and on Monday last her leakage was so serious that all the caulkers in the fleet at Spithead were ordered by signal to go on board and caulk her. Rear-Admiral the Hon. R. S. Dundas, C. 8., Com mander-in-Chief, took up his berth on board the Duke of Wellington yesterday ; we believe he goes on short leave to-morrow. The Diligence, naval transport, laden with dockyard stores, left Portsmouth yesterday for the eastward. The Cressy, 80, Captain H. L. Warren is ordered into Portsmouth harbour as soon as her powder and shell are out ; she has some derangements below, it is supposed (most probably in her machinery), to repair. All the ships' crews of this fleet will be paid wages prior to sailing, up to the 31st day ef January last, which is the latest day allowed by law. Yesterday afternoon the Port Admiral's order was received and copied on board all the ships at Spithead, regulating the ceremony of dressing ship, saluting and manning yards for the Queen this morning, on her Ma jesty steaming through the anchorage to Osborne at about half-past 11 o'clock, which will be a remarkably picturesque spectacle, should the weather be fine. The Neptune, 120, Captain Hutton, seems destined to be the training school for the sea-going officers and men wanted for the effective ships ; she has now had all her lieutenants but one draughted into other ships, and 150 of her crew to fill petty officers' ratings. A. higher compliment could not be paid to the gallant and respected captain. The steam vessels Archer, 14, Bulldog, 6, and Dragon, 6, left Plymouth Sound on Monday evening for the eastward. The Admiralty intend to employ a number of North Sea captains, well acquainted with the navigation of the Baltic, to act as pilots to the fleet. They are to have one guinea per day. APPOINTMENTS.

The Government have entered into another extensive contract for the supply of ordinary straight-cut rifles, Minie rifles, rifled carbines for caw- lry, revolvers, sa!rres, naval cutlas , ses, and pistols. The manufacturers of Bir mingham, Sheffield, and London will supply the greater portion, and the gunmakeis and sword cutlers of Liege the remainder. It is expected that the supply will ap proach 1,000 stand weekly. A contract has also been entered into for the supply of saddles and other horse accoutrements. The saddles will be much lighter than those at present in use, and the cumbrous shabrack will be dispen,ed with. MILITARY. The four vacant colonelcies have been filled up by the tran , fer of Sir George Brown from the 7th Fusileers to his old corps, the Rifle Brigade ; of Lieutenant-General Auchinuty, from the 65th to the 7th Fusileers, with which he served in the Peninsula ; and of Lieutenant- General the Hon. H. E. Butler, from the 94th to the 55th—the regiment in which his galla,n, son, who was killed at Inkerman, commanded a company. The bat talion of V.,e 60th, vacant by the death of General W. Cornwallis Eustace, is given to Lieutenant General Bunbnry, formerly of the 67th Regiment, and some two or three ye,rs since commander of the troops in Jamaica, who had been for 51 yrars in the army, and actively en gaged in Hoiland and in the Americ an war . Tile colo _ ierey of the 44th, held by the late Sir Patrick Stuart, wilt be filled by the appointment of Sir Frederick Ash worth, an old Peninsular officer of 56 years' service. Lieutenant-General Henry Balneavis succeeds General Auclimuty as colonel of the 65th ; he had been in the service since 1797, and was throughout the whole of the war in Spain, from Corunna to Tonlunge, for which he holds the war medal with nine ett - ips. The new colonel of the 94th, in succession to Genera! Butler, Lieutenant- General Geo. Powell Higginson, entered the Grenadier Guards in 1805, and was likewise a sharer in many of the Peninsular victories. NAVAL MEDICAL OFFICERS.
