Gurney, Esq.) ntiPORTANT TO RAILWAY TRAVELLERS.—THR SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY V. GUDE. His Honour gave judgment inlthis case, which is of considerable importance to Railway Companies and to Railway Travellers. The case was argued at length a few days since, and the following are the facts :—lt ap pears that in consequence of the competition with the South Eastern Railway Company the plaintiffs had re duced the fare to Guildford and back, but not to any of the intermediate stations, consequently the fare to Wok ing and back, although not so far on the line was ls. mare than to Guildford. The defendant, Mr. Gude (who is a solicitor), contested the right of the company to restrict him from getting out at any portion of the line where the train stopped short of the extreme distance to which he was entitled to go by virtue of his ticket ; and that, although it might bear on it a notice that it would be available to Guildford and back, it could not be deemed a contract, or, if se, it ought to be stamped. lie also contended that, under an Act of Parliament passed last session fur the regulation of the traffic on railways and canals, the company were pre vented from giving an unfair or undua advantage over any portion of the line, &c., and urged that a preference had been given in this instance by allowing one class of trains to go a longer distance than another for less charge, although the first passed over the same ground as the other up to a certain point, Woking station, where the Guildford line branched off. His Honour now gave judinent, and held that even without the ticket there was an implied contract to pay a reasonable charge, and that there had not been an undue preference in favour rof any person within the meaning of the act referred to, for if the company were net at liberty to charge a larger amount for a longer distance, they would be compelled to have an equal mileage to every station. As they had not charged beyond that amount allowed under their act, they were entitled to recover the sum claimed, namely, 3s. MINING INTEL LIGENCE. ( From the Mining Journal of this day.)

GENERAL CANROBERT'S GENERAL ORDER. "ARMY OF THE EAST,—The enemy have sustained another check. On the morning of the 17th they at tacked Eupatoria with 25,000 infantry, 80 pieces of cannon, and 4,000 cavalry. This corps, composed of all the reinforcements that could possibly be brought toge ther at Perekop or from within the Crimea, was vigour ously repulsed by the Ottoman troops of the army o the the Danube, under the orders of Omer Pacha, General in-Chief. "On the second attempt at an assault, a column of Turkish troops, rushing out from the place, resolutely charged the assaulting party with the bayonet and drove them back for a considerable distance. At last the ene my, after a fruitless struggle of two hours' duration, was forced to retreat with considerable loss This brilliant affair reflects the highest honour on our Allies, and wor thily continues the series of their successes against the common enemy during the preceding years. " I have the satisfaction to add that the small French g arrison, under the orders of Chef d'Escadron d'Etat .lajor Osmont, composed of a detachment of the 3d Marines, and a detachment of naval gunners, under naval Lieutenant de la Caze, have vigorously sustained the honour of our aims, as well as greatly contributed to the defence of Eupatoria, by the works which they had prepared for that purposa. " This first exploit of the army of his Majesty the sultan felicitously inaugurates a campaign, the opening of which can no longer be retarded. "Companions in arms ! With unconquerable energy, and a patriotism that has spread your renown through Esrope, insuring you a place in history, you have during one year mastered the very hardest trials to which the organisation and lizorale of an army cast be exposed. These trials are close upon an end. Those which now await you are such as your courage will look upon with out alarm. Yon will soon join battle with an enemy whom you already know how to conquer. The ardent sympathies with which France accompanies her armies will be with you when you meet them, as they have be fore followed your previous vict , ries and glorious suffer ings during this war. The heart and the prayers of our Emperor are with you ; his solicitude trebles your effi ciency and powers. " Soldiers ! Be sure the English, Ottoman, and French armies, firmly united, will triumph with the aid of God, who protects the just cause. " GLNROBERT, General-in-Chief. " Head-quarters, Feb. 22, 1855." General Canroberf, on receiving information of the gallant conduct of the Turks, recorded it in an order of the day to the al my, and addressed to Riza Pacha, the Turkish Minister of War, the following letter : " Head-quarters before Sebastopol, Feb. 20. " Excellency,—On the 17th the enemy attacked Eupatoria with 25,000 infantry, 4,000 cavalry, and 80 pieces of cannon. The defence made was brilliant, and reflects the highest honour on the Ottoman troops of the Danube, commanded by the generalissimo, Omer Paella. This debut of the army of his highness in the Crimea is a most favourable *men of the future, and fully responds to the confidence which it had inspired, by the numerous advantages it gained over the enemy on the Danube. I have just made known to my troops the gallant defence of Eupatoria in an order of the day, a copy of which I shall have the honour of sending to you. In the meantime I address to your excellency congratulations which I beg you to communicate to the Government of the Sultan, and I must aid to them the regret which I and all the army under my orders feel for the loss sustained by the Ottoman army in the person of General of Division Selim Paths, who was killed so gloriously in the defence of the post confided to him—Accept, &c., CANROBERT." The General also addressed the following order of the day to Commandant Osmont, the French go vernor of Eupatoria - - - " My dear Commandant, —During the attack made by the Russians on Eupatoria with a considerable body of troops, the detachment of French soldiers and sailors under your command contributed with energy to the defeat of the enemy. I beg you, Monsieur le Command ant, to express to the French troops my sentiments of esteem and gratitude. If, as there is every reason to presume, similar circumstances should again occur, I feel convinced that then, as now, I shall only have congra tulations to offer to you. " CANROBERT." THE "SHORTEST CUT" TO BALAKLAVA. An order wal some time since issued relative to taking the shortest cut from the divisions to Balaklava through the French Hues. The following has, however, now been issued " GENERAL ORDER. "Head-quarters before Sebastopol, Feb. 18, 1855. " No, 1. The Commander of the Forces published on • the 13th and 14th December the most positive orders that no person connected with this army should make use of Woronzoff-raa l', to or from Balaklava, or pass through the French bees at any other point than throngh the barrier at the Col di Ba'aislava. On the re presentatio❑ of the general commanding the Second Di vision of the French army, that the troops under his command are agai❑ put to inconvenience, and that injury is done to the field works by the passage of soldn.rs and others at different points, these orders are repeated they are to be read to each company, and at the com missariat and ammunition depots. "The general officers commanding First, Second, and Light Divisions will be so good as report daily that these orders have been strictly obeyed. (Signed by order) " J. B. B. ESTCOURT, Adjutant General." COUNT BUOL'S DESPATCH TO THE _ GERMAN COURTS. We yesterday published a summary of this de spatch. The following is a verbatim, copy of the document : " Our previous communications do not permit your excellency to doubt that the resolution of the Diet of the Eth, by which all the principal contingents of the Federal army are to be ready on the first appeal to enter into a campaign within a delay of 15 days, has been re ceived with satisfaction by the Z4-overnment of the Em peror. In fact, we see in the resolution of the Diet an event of great importance, if only for the reason that the schism which the question of military prepara tions threatened to cause in Germany, has been for tunately avoided for the moment. Considered in itself, however, this resolution does not appear to us to arise logically from the reflections caused by the present situation of things, or to respond to the indispensable necessity of keeping the federal army completely pre pared to take up a strategetic position without loss of time. It is true that we have not been able to admit the motives on which the united oommittees based the proposition which has been convected into a resolution. It will be understood that on our part we could not pre sent our accord with the Western Powers in the light of a demonstration directed at the same time against the two belligerent parties; but the Confederation itself, which in this question is no longer placed exclusively on the ground of the federal act, but is also placed on that of the offensive and defensive alliance of the 20th April, and of the resolutions subsequently attached thereto—has in our opinion assumed an attitude much too decided to be accepted as the motive of the measure at phsent re solved on, as far as regards the generally menacing situ ation of European affairs. In the meantime we believe that we may expect that these motives, insufficient in our eyes, will be corrected by the situation de facto and jde ure of the question, and especially by the' nature of the relations with the Powers with which we are allied by a solemn treaty. Your Excellency. will express yourself in a general way as far as regards the resolu tion of the Diet, on the indications which we have just given. The immediate and as energetic as possible execution of that resolution is now a question of honour for Germany, and we have no doubt that all the G overn ments of the Confederation will endeavour, with the same zeal, to carry into execution the measure resolved on, and that they will do all in their power that the military constitution of Germany shall, under those cir cumstances, respond to its object and to the mission of a great federal power. As far as concerns Austria, the Emperor, our august sovereign, has deigned to order that in the delay of 16 days, given to the different Go vernments to notify the measures which they shall have taken, the statement of all the troops placed on a war footing, and under the superior command of Field- Marshal Baron de Hess, shall be communicated to the Diet, and that a proof will be furnished that the pre parations for war made by Austria will far exceed what has been demanded by the Diet. It is scarcely necessary for us to formally express on this sub ject our conviction that the complete inadmissibi lity of the proposition made during the vote by the representative of Prussia, not supported by any other Government, to the effeot that the placing of troops on a war footing must take place within the limits of the Federal territory, has not escaped the appreciation of the German Governments, the said proposition com pletely losing eight of the fact that the measure now adopted by the Diet is only a consequence of previous resolutions, according to which the common defence with which the Confederstion has charged itself, in con sideration of the dangers which threaten German inte rests, is not only to protect the German Federal terri tory, but also all the territory of Austria and of , Prussia, and even our position in the Principalities. There be no impropriety in your Excellency rommtuncating this despatch confidentially to the Government. ~ "BUM,. "Accept, &c., FATAL ACCIDENT ON A RAILWAY.—An inquest was held nt the Manchester Infirmary, on Thursday, by Mr. lierford, the coroner for that c:ty, on the body of Thos. Smethurst, a stoker in the service of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company. Oa Saturiay afternoon last deceased came on the engine of a goods train from Burnley to Manchester, as far no the Miles Platting sta tion, about a mile from the terminus, where it stopped, and the waggons were detached. Five coal waggons had then to be attached to the engine in their stead, and they came up to it with a slight concuFsion, which caused the deceased to fall off the tender, where he was at the time. It is not known why ho went on the tender, as he knew the waggons were to be attached ; and he ought to have been on his guard. Although the shock was by no means violent, he was found to have sustain e d a compound fracture of the left leg, which caused his death at the Manchester Infirmary, on Thursday morning. He was 21 years of age, and a single man. The jury found verdict of " Accidental death," 631 f lil pm 171 # i 101 2 93 4 2i 40 30i NEWPORT.

Parker, chaplain of the let Division of the Army, was next called. He stated that he arrived in the Crimea at the beginning of December. A great deal of sickness prevailed when he got there. The medical attendance was good, as far as the professional gentlemen were concerned ; but there was a great defi ciency of medicines. In the hospitals the men had fresh meat every day. He often heard the medical men say they wished to administer opium and other medicines, but that they could not obtain them, The medical men attended assiduously to their duties until they became invalided themselves. If he had not been for some time in South America, where he had been a great deal amongst yellow fever, he questioned whether he should have been able to withstand the effluvia in the hospi tal tents. He often had to retire from them, and one of his brother clergymen had to be carried out. When a man died he was wrapped up in his blanket and carried to the grave, and sometimes the body was buried • but this was net always observed, as a practice prevailed of digging up the bodies to steal the blankets. There were many wild dogs about the camp, but it was more pro bable that they fed upon the dead horses, and did not scratch up the bodies of the dead. The exertions made by the officers of the Guards were such as to make these regiments More comf ,rtable than other portions of the army. There were 8 other chaplains besides himself, but he was the only one who could bear the duty they had to perform. He had only done so with much difficulty, and was at length obliged himself to yield. He had a horse for his use and an allowance for forage, but he could scarcely get any hay. They had a tent to them selves. He thought the hospital tents were not at all adapted for the purpose. He went into the Turkish tents and found them very much better than the Eng lish. Scurvy, dysentery, and diarrhoea were the diseases of the camp—brought about by cold, salt meat, and exposure to the weather. The men complained that the unroasted coffee aggravated their maladies, and some of the officers b oug ht c h ests o f tea f or th e i r use . Li me juice was also supplied to them to prevent scurvy. When he was in the Crimea a medical commission had arrived there, and were taking evidence. The hospital at Bala klava was very much crowded. There was a depot of medicines at Balaklava when he arrived. What it contained he could not tell. H e th ought he was there during the very worst part of the bad weather. The troops were, generally speaking, very badly off for fuel, but were never entirely without it. The snow on the ground of course increased the difficulty of finding roots and brushwood for fuel. He thought the sickness and mortality which prevailed was in a great degree attributable to the want of a good supply of fuel. The warm clothing was not supplied to the Ist Division until within a day or two of the time he left, and then it was not complete. The commissariat department of the Ist Division was very fairly administered. There was never a deficiency of rations. The hospital marquees were lined, but the tents were not. He was well attended himself by the medical staff, and was treated with the greatest kindness by them and the offi cers generally. Never saw Lord Raglan or any member of his staff in the hospital tents. He had made repre sentations as to the crowded state of the hospitals to the Adjutant-General and Quartermaster-General, but they were not attended to. Some huts were being raised when he left. It was his opinion that when the hot weather came on Balaklava would be a most unhealthy place, and a plague would be very likely to break out. The only remedy ho could for the present suggest was the burning with lime all those bodies which were un buried. He should think Balaklava, at the best of times, was not a very healthy place in summer. Nothing in the shape of waterproof was used in the hospital tents. The men lay in their blankets in the tents, and the water might have penetrated to them had he not taken precautions to see that the ditches round the mar quees were cleared nut by the orderlies. He came away on the 16th January. The officers of battalions and particular regiments were very attentive in visiting the hospitals, and paid for comforts for the invalids at their own expense. Captain Bellacott, of the Harbinger, was next called. He stated that he arrived at the harbour of Balaklava on the Bth November in the Harbinger. He at first lay outside the harbour, and on going in there were about GO vessels lying in the harbour. The harbour could have contained many more. They had a cargo of vegetables. Two days after they got an order to move, in consequence of an advance of the Russians on the town. The Earl of Shaftesbury, laden with gunpowder, was lying within the harbour ; but, another filled with the same combustible was outside. Saw the captain of the Resolute the day before the hurricane. His vessel had then been ordered outside the harbour. The captain (Capt. Lewis) said if the gale increased, he should either put out to sea or go into the harbour, for it was dangerous where he was an chored. Knew nothing of where Captain Christie was at that time. The barometer was low, but gave no apparent indications of the approach of a storm. After the gale the harbour was encumbered with the wrecks and portions of the cargoes of ♦essels that had suffered. The Harbinger remained about six weeks in the harbour after the storm. Capt. Christie and the transport staff came on board the Harbinger after the storm, in consequence of his own vessel haring been damaged. When discharged, the cargo, especially the potatles, was quite rotten. Some of the bags of potatoes when taken in at Constantinople were going bad. He did not think there wai room in the harbour fur the whole of the vessels off Balaklava during the storm. At the same time the anchorage he knew was vary dangerous. The committee adjourned at a quarter to four until twelve o'clock on Monday. SPORTING IN T ELAIGENCE. NOTTINGHAM SPRING MEETING.—FRIDAY.

Michell, of her Majesty's ship Queen, stationed in the Black Sea, of a most impu dent and extensive robbery. It appears that when Cap tain Michell left England he took with him, out of com passion, a poor lad named Smith. Shortly after Smith was appointed steward of the vessel. During the latter part of January Captain Michell had occasion to go i o r n shore, a n d on hi s return he discovered that hi s secrtetatrti, oe had bee n a tt empte d .

(Fioni the Tholes of this day.) • The investigation of the Crimean expedition having been transferred by the House of Commons to a select committee, the discussion of the proceedings of the Baltic fleet offered a ready way of getting over an evening which might otherwise have hung heavy on the hands of a Legislature no longer, as hitherto, bewildered by a mul titude of measures, and overwhelmed under the weight of its avocations. Of the exact merits of the con troversy we are not permitted to judge, for the public service does not permit the whole of the facts to be laid before us, but some things appear to us to be established without the least probability of being rendered dubious by any future disclosure, and these we propose to state with as much fairness and as inuch brevity as we can command. The first, and by far the most important conclusion, is, that it would be neither just nor generous in this country to feel or to express dissatisfaction with the perform ances'of the Baltic fleet. Theugh it has not been tirought advisable to bestow on the officers and sailors of this gallat,t armament the thanks which have been lavished on the Admiral and fleet of the Black Sea, there are many respects in which its naval campaign may bear comparison with that of its more highly -appreciated The officers of the Baltic fleet had, undoubtedly, to train and discipline the crews of their ships, and have by coin mon consent worked up thiS excellent raw material into most efficient and admirable seamen.. They have main tained a strict-and complete blociade in conformity with the law of nations, instead of imagining that by stopping the passage into the Black Sea they did all that could be required of them. Their campaign is marked by no episode like the loss of the Tiger, they succeeded in corn plete:y demolishing Boma raund, the projected Sebastopol of the North, they effectually kept the enemy within his ports, and, while the flu,sia n s t eamers for months passed in and out of Sebastopol at pleasure, Cronstadt and Helsingfors were hermetically sealed. Provided only with large ships, and without the assistance of gun boats and floating batteries, they were unable to ap proach the shores of that shallow sea and destroy the enemy's town, but our fleet has preserved to us, to our coasts, and to our trade, all the impunity of peace in the midst of war, and has shown to Europe how little the vaunted naval resources of Russia can avail when the real masters of the ocean enter the lists. The chief has quarrelled with the Admiralty, but we must separate him from those he commands, and only regret that the differences that have arisen should seem for a moment to obscure the services of so many gallant seamen, or have interposed between them and that grateful acknowledg ment which they deserve at the bands of their country. As to the case of Sir Charles Napier, it is by no means so easy to express an opinion, for the simple reason that we are not possessed of the data upon which that opi nion must be formed. Regarding Sir Charles Napier'e services as a whole, and without reference to any corre spondence between him and the Admiralty, we have said that we see no reason to be dissatisfied with them ; but the case is by no means so clear when that element is taken into consideration. The Government seem to have been of opinion that after the fall of Bomarsund, Sweaborg should have been attacked, and there were not wanting high authorities to support that view. If we understand the case rightly, Sir Charles Napier's objection turned much more on the lateness of the season and the uncertainty of the weather than on any engi neering difficulties. This objection the result does not appear to have supported, for the Baltic remained open for three months after the capture of Bomarsund, and the weather, however inclement and disagreeable, was not such as to prevent the prosecution in those waters of ordinary commercial enterprise. It was not by nicely weighing difficulties and forestalling every possible con tingency that might occur to baffle and defeat their ope rations that our great admirals have raised the navy of this country to its present height of excellence and renown. The possibilities they have been in the habit of calculating were those of success, not of failure, and they have striven to make an opportunity rather than sought to avoid one already made for them. Had Nelson reasoned thus, where would have been the glories of the Nile or Copenagen Had Lord Exmouth reasoned thus, where would have been the capture of Algiers ? Had Sir Charles Napier reasoned thus at the siege of Acre, a most glorious day would have been lost to our annals. We do not presume to prejudge the case, but, as far as we can understand it from the lips of Sir Charles Napier's own advocates, supposing the enter prise to be otherwise feasible, the mere lateness of the season does not appear a sufficient objection. But, while speaking with diffidence as to the merits of the matter in controversy, we can feel no difficulty whatever as to the course Sir Charles Napier has taken with the view of vindicating his character and redressing his real or supposed ill-treatment. 'Whatever were the differences between the Admiral and the Admiralty, :t is clear that he was neither recalled nor dismissed, that no public charge was made against him, nor anything said or done to injure his reputation. His command had expired, and it was not thought proper to renew it. This is a discretion necessarily vested in the Beard of Admi ralty, and one which Parliament, if it have the public service at heart, will never venture to interfere with. The widest distinction ought to be taken between re calling an officer from a command, or refusing to re new that trust, and preferring charges against him affecting his personal honour or professional reputa tion. The latter is public property ; the former is, and must be, in the discretion of the Executive. In order to form a judgment on the propriety of a re c 111, Parliament must have access to numerous con fidential documents which the necessiti e s of war withhold from the knowledge of a popular assembly. It must place itself in the position of the Executive, and call for all the information that Executive possessed. The result of such inquiries can only be that cfficers found incapasle will be continued in employment to the detriment of the public service, unless some specific act sufficient . to justify their recall in the public eye can he proved against them. The tendency in this direction is already a good deal too strong. The dread of the re sponsibility of recalling Generals and Admirals is al ready far too great for the public good, and the House of Commons will act wisely in doing nothing to aug ment it. We therefore think that Sir Charles Napier had no case to bring before the House of Commons. But, if we disapprove of bringingt shallslleh w q e ue s s a t y io o n f s tbhee fore the Legislature at all, what manner in which the defence or accusation—we know not which to call it—was conducted I An Admiral, just returned from a service which is to be renewed in two or three moths, by the same men, in the same waters, against the same enemy, with the same objects as before, does not hesitate, in order to revenge himself on a Ministry from which he thinks he has received un- I handsome treatment, to throw himself into the arms of f the party to which he is politically opposed, and to place at ,the disposal of the Opposition a confidential cor respondence, the possession of which he owes to the favour of those who are now the objects of his attack. But this is merely a party consideration. The doeu ! ments with which Sir Charles Napier furnished Mr. Malins—and printed extracts which be distributed with his own hand from beneath the Speaker's gallery to members of the House of Commons —were nut his own property, were not his to give or withhold, but were the property of the nation. It is not because Sir Charles Napier feels himself aggrieved by the conduct of the Ministry that he has a right to pub lish papers of the most secret and confidential nature, which may cost us, for aught we know, thousands of Eves and millions of treasure. Mr. Malins said he would select his extracts so as to do as little injury as possible to the public service, but what right has lie or his client to do to the public service any injury at all The quarrel is between the admiral and the Government ; the nation is no party to the dispute. ¶he interests of the nation must not be compromised for the sake of private or personal considerations. The case has not been provided for in our statute-book—it has not been foreseen by our legislators. But, had it been so, we cannot doubt that the law would have treated the wilful and advised publishing, by a public servant of con fidential communications received by him in tnat capa city, without the assent of the Government by which he is employed, as a heavy offence against public morals and the public safety. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL. The death of Lord Ravensworth having elevated the Hon. 11. T. Liddell, M.P. for the borough, to the peer age, a vacancy is created in the representation, and much speculation is nil at as to the successor of Mr. Liddell. It is reported that the probable Conservative candidate will be Lord Stanley, the present member for King's Lynn, or Mr. Philip W. S. Miles, ex-M.P. for Bristol. Both parties have been evidently taken by surprise, as no candidate on either the Conservative or Liberal interest has yet been announced definitely. As usual, rumour is busy with her thousand tongues, and several names mentioned without any authority. DUDLEY. The nomination of candidates toek place on Thurs. d a y. It had been generally believed since Saturday last that Sir Stafford Northcote, a " Liberal Conservative," would be returned without opposition ; but at the hust- ings, Mr. Alderman Baldwin, an advanced Liberal, was nominated, without hisl consent, and obtained a majority on a show of hands. Yesterday morning the poll opened, when, as was anticipated, th e Lib erals did not attempt any seriou opposition t o th e return of S i r S. Northcote. At the cl ose o f th e po ll , at four o'clock, the numbers were— Sir S. Northcote (Conservative) 360 Mr. Baldwin (Liberal) 3 357 Majority PORTSMOUTH.
