L. Greetham, Deputy Judge-Advocate of the Fleet, assembled yesterday morning on board her Maje:ty's ship Victory, Cap tain G. T Gordon-, flag-ship in Portsmouth harbour, to try Mr. William Kerr, the senior naval instructor in the fleet, and serving in the Victory, on a charge of being drunk and incapable of performing his duty on board the said ship on the afternoon of the 29th of March last. The charge was . . " The Gen ral Commanding•in-Ch'ef thanks Major:General Mansel for the very proper n ensure taken by him to bring the above circumstances to the knowle 'ge of head-quar.itrs. " The conduct of Ensign' Falkner' is highly commendable for having reported, as he did, the unmerited insuts offered to, him by Ensigns Sanders and Neville ; and lad in not done so, iu accordance with the orders "of . the_Viscount Hardinge would have deemed it imperat ve upon him to sub mit his name to her Majesty for removal.

WrnonALL, A:G." established by Captain Gordon, Commander Strode, and Dr. Muirhead, of the Victory, who, on being called upon by the prisoner, also testified to his general good conduct and char, acter: The latter officerS. having known him longest, spoke in very high terms of Mr. Kerr's gene' al deportment, &c. The enurt, after duo deliberation, declared the charge provel, and adjudge:l the priSOner, in consideration of his long ser vices (upwards of 31 years, we believe), to be dismissed' from the said ship Victory, and to lose four years' rank as a naval instructor in her Majesty's naval service: A letter from her Majesty's ship Himalaya, dated Alexan dria, April 9, states :—" We embarked 192 of the 10th Hus sars in the Etna yesterday, and she sailed for Constantinople early this morning. The Himalaya is embarking 3SO more, and Will sail at daylight to-morrow. Ths Ti'ent is to take the remainder (200), but has not yet arrived ; she is hourly expected. The Himalaya ran down here in 64 hours from Kululee, The Austrian frigate Venus is the only ship of war in port." The Hawke-, 60, new screw block-ship, Capt. Ommanney, arrived at Spithead yesterday afternoon, from Sheerness, to get men and await further orders. In the afternoon the Pem broke; 60, sister ship, Captain G. H. Seymour, went out of Portsmouth harbour to the same anchorage, also to aw it the completion of her crew and sailing orders. The Hastings, 60, similar ship, Captain Caffin, from Portsmouth Harbour, and the Russell, 60, ditto, Captain Scott, from SLiperness, are appointed to be at Spithead to-day. This will make the sea service fleet at that anchorage and in harbour the following : Horse power MORE PRAeTICAL JOKING IN THE ARMY PREVENTED. ,-A DUAL CANTERBURY, MONDAY EVENING. This morning our Guildhall was the seene of great excite ment, owing to its becoming known that two uffic rs of the 6th Inniskilling Dragoons (now lying in our barracks), were to '..pe had before the mayor awl magistr rtes, on the c a rcre of having met for the purpose o f fi g hti ng a d ue l early on Satur dayc morning last. The two combatants are Cornet Edward Pick ton Baumgarton and Cornet John Evans, both 'of the same regiment. It appears from inquiries made, that for some little time past Cornet Baumgarton (who has only been in the corps some three months, and who is considered a quiet, inoffen sive young man) has met with anything but gentlemanly treatment from his brother officers, and their practical jokes partaking more of personal insult rather than anything else, and in some instances, according to the reports current in the regiment, they have proceeded beyond the bounds of com mon decency, and partaken of a character that prohibits fur ther "allusion. Among some of the tricks to which this young officer has been subject may be mentioned the following :--- His sword was broken to piews, and the plume of his hel met destroyed —two buckets of water thrown into his bed, and his clothes placed in the bath; while the chest ermtaiu ing his clean linen was filled with water—six panes of glass in his window and his looking-glass smashed—the chamber utensils broken and placed in the bed—the door fastened, as well as the window, while he was in his room—his horse (which cost him 80 guineas) has been deprived of its tail and topped. In consequence of this treatment, Cornet Baumgar ten sent Cornet Evans a challenge , as he imagined that he was the ringlei , der in the aff a i r , an d Saturday last was fixed for carrying it into execution. Accordingly the parties metat the place appointed, but the duel was prevented, as explained in the evidence. It should be stated that Baumgarton appeared at the magistrates' meeting on Saturday evening, and was bound over to appear to-day, and that subsequently Evans was taken on a warraut, and also admitted to bail.

Joseph Quantrill deposed to detaining Cornet Baumgarton, at the request of Sergeant Brodie, shortly after six o'clock on slaturday morning, as he was proceeding through the Old Park at the rear of the barracks with two ethers. He took the cornet to the farmhouse. There were five or six persons about at the time. Witness told Mr. Baumgartou what ho h heard about the treatment he had received from the offi cers, Trphen he said they had served him so many games and tricks that he had had them before the colonel ; but that he should take some sharper steps for the future than he had done. He said he would as leave go out to face the man and fire at him, as he would go out of witness's house. In answer to witness, as to whether he had any pistols, he said, " The others will bring them; duelling pistols are as long as my arm." The adjutant (Webster) then came up with a file of men, and ordered the sergeant who had prevented the duel into cult: dy, and if he refused to go to knock him down with the butt-end of their carbines. The Imperial French naval corvette D'Assas, 21, Captain Jules d'Aries, flag of Rear-Admiral de Chabannes, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning, and saluted the national flag and the port admiral, which salutes were duly acknowledged by the garrison battery at Portsmouth and by her Majesty's ship Victory. After this Admiral Chabannes landed at the dockyard and visit d Vice-Admiral Sir Th mas Cochrane, K.C.8., the Commander-in-Chief, with whom be breakfasted. The officers of the corvette also landed and visited the town under the guidance of the Chevalier Vandenberg, the French Vice-Consul at Portsmouth. About five o'clock in the even ing the corvette bore the admiral away for Cherbourg. The Arthur the Great, transport, Captain Davis, is hourly expected at Portsmouth from the Thames to embark the fol lowing troops for the Cape of Good Hope, viz. :-48 men and 2 officers of the 2d Foot; 215 men and 7 officers of the 6th Foot ; 245 men and 3 officers of the 73d Foot; and 7 men of the Cape Mounted Rifles. The American packet Southamp ton, Captain Pratt, arrived at Portsmouth from London yes terday, a-d sailed for New York, after embarking passengers. The Hecate, 6, paddle sloop, Commander Glynn, left Ports mouth yesterday afternoon for Plymouth, carrying supernu meraries for the ships at that port. The Rosamond, 6, paddle sloop, Commander Crofton, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from the Downs. The Superintendent of Police merely deposed to the offi cer's coming to thc station-house, and to his admission that Evans was the other party in the duel. f! . .ergeant Alexander Brodie, of the let Royal Dragoons, deposed that he -was in the Old Park, at the rear of the Canterbury Barracks, between five and six o'clock on Sun day morning last. Adjutant Webster, of the depot and Cornet Baumgarton, were there, and also a little gentleman who I was told was Doctor Cooper, of the town. Mr, Hartopp was also present. The first three were walking together in the direction of the sand-pit, the doctor and Mr. Baumgarton being a little in advance. Adjutant Webster said, "Sergeant Brodie, what do you want hei aI" Witness made uo reply, when the adjutant said, "Go away home, sir," Witness re plied, " No, sir, I shall put a stop to this that is to take place." The adjutant then said, "Go to your room, sir, and consider yourself a prisoner." With that, the adjutant after saying, " I will go and get a file of the guard and bring you," went in the direction of the barracks. Witness then jumped over the stile . and ran up to Mr. Baumgarton and the doctor, and placing his hands out in front of them said, " You shall not fight :duel, Mr. B tumgarton,ln my presence ; you shall shoot me first before you shall do it; sir. "Mr. Baumgarton, however, got away, and wit , Jess ran .after him. He said, " Leave me alone ; I have been au injured man, Sergeant Brodie, which you know, and I will have it out now." He *as maid g his escape from witness, and as he (witness) saw ho could not stop him, as he was in such a raging state, he ran forward to some men working in the field, and asked them, for God's sake, to assist, as there were two gentlemen going to kill one another. They hesitated at first, but subsequently went and caught hold of Mr. Baumgarton, who kicked, and tore, and tried to get away front them. Witness then went to the farm-house to obtain further aid, and Mr. L'aumgarton was taken into the house. Witness then re turned towards the barrack, when he met Adjutant Web ster and Mr. Hartopp wAli a file of men. He said to the adjutant " Good morning, gentlemen ; I give myself up as a prisoner." Adjutant Webster told his men "to knock witness down with the butt-end of their carbines if he resisted them." Witness replied, "No adjutant, lam an old soldier, and know my duty—don't hurt me." He . was then arrested and taken to the barracks. On the previous Friday evening Adjutant Webster's servant came to witness's house for a pair of pistols. He told him he had not had any since the regiment went out, and then inquired what they were wanted for. The servant said, "I don't know, but I have to call my master at five o'clock in the morning." Being asked if he had anything further to add, witness replied, " I should not like to say anything about 'regimental affairs, as it may injure me afterwards." The magistrate's clerk explained that witness was sum moned to give evidence in behalf of the Crown, and therefore it was his duty to tell everything that lie knew about the offence. Witness—He knew nothing else about the duel. Did not see any pi ols on the ground at the time. Cross-examined by Cornet Baumgarton—One of the farmer's men were present when you said " Let me alone, Sergeant Brodie, I'm an injured man." You said, "If it does not come off to-day, it will another day. I swear solemnly that you did say that.. I can swear that I was t 0.4 by two persons that there were pistols there. At the reque tof the bench, Mr. S. S.. Cooper, surgeon, then entered the witness-box ; but Mr. Austin (solicitor) addressed the magistrates, and ob served that the whole affair was a mere joke fro m be g innin g to end. Should the bench 'think it might have ended se riously the defendants were quite willing to sinter into sureties to prevent any breach of the peace taking place, which, he ap prehended, would put an end to it. The mayor and magistrates then consulted for a few mo ments, and then ordered the two defendants to enter into their own bonds of 1001. each, and two sureties in 501., to keep the peace towards each other. The regular bail was quickly procured, 'and the officers left with their friends. The friends of the soldiers who aro sick in hospital at Portsmouth will be glad to hear that all aro doing very well, and receiving the kindest attention from the medical staff, as well as extra comforts from Major-General Sir Frederick and L tdy Smith, and other thoughtful benb factors. Dr. Burgess has now the sole charge of that district in the general hospital lately confided to Dr. Lawson, who has gone on other ditty. Several amputations have lately taken place under the hands of Dr. Odell, the principal staff surgeon of Portsmouth garrison. Further arrivals of sick are expected at Portsmouth daily, and accommodation is made for them. . OFFICIAL DESPATCH PROM FIELD MARSHAL LORD RAGLAN. (From a Second Supplement to Friday's Gazette.)

The statement that sC difference of opinion arose between these three Powers as to the extent of the conditions to be demanded of Russia for the limitation of her power in the„ Black Sea is without foun dation, and it is consequentlY equally incorrect tbat the Western Powers were called to make, or, did Make ' any further concessions to meet the vi ews o f Austria. Infact, the reftlsal of Russia to treat on this basis was so absolute that it admitted of no such distinctions of mode or degree. Neither has Austria given the slightest cause for the imputation of entering into a separate arrangement with Russia, from which she is expressly precluded by the firkt article of the treaty of the 2d of December. We shall as sume, then, until the contrail be proved, that Austria agrees with France and England on the principal conditions and securities for the restoration of peace, as she agreed with those Powers in the Notes of the Bth of August, as she agreed in the treaty of the 2 , 1 - of December and the correspondence of that period, and as she agreed in the Pint interpretation affixed to those propositions at the outset of these Confer ences. Indeed as long as words retain their meaning, there arc so many documents in existence recording this assent of Austria in so many forms that there can be no - dispute about the matter ; nor has the Cabinet of Vienna shown any dis position, so far as we yet know, to repudiate or recede from these declarations. Indeed Lord Palmerston expressly stated last night that the principle laid down by France and England was agreed to by Austria, and unanimously pressed on Russia by the four other Powers. If those conditions were'essentisl to the restoration and maintenance of peace eight months ago, they unquestionably are so still, and Austria has not expressed an opinion that peace can safely be obtained on any less broad and solid basis. Thus far, then, and on the ground of policy and principle, Austria has not deviatedfrom the views which have led the Western -Powers to take' up arms. Is she then prepared, on the failure of these negotiations, to act up to the engagements "of the treaty of the 2d of December, and, peace not being made, to enter at once upon the "effectual means for accomplishing the ob ject of that alliance I" That is the next vital question which can engross the attention of Europe, and at the present mo ment it is by no means decided. As Austria has adhered throughout to the views and propositions of the Western Powers, and she has already made herself a party to formal treaties with the belligerent States, announcing an irrevocable determination completely to unite her own efforts with theirs until their common object is entirely attained (these are the words of the treaty with France and England), it is impos sible that she should ignore or repudiate these engagements without renouncing her own position in Europe, and acting in direct opposition to all the arguments sbe has herself ad dressed to Prussia and the other German States. To subside into the Prussian system of neutrality, after having followed the opposite line of policy to the very verge of hostilities, would be an act of such supreme inconsistency and absurdity that it must instantly expose the Court of Vienna to all the consequences of amoral defeat both in Germany and in Europe. But, on the other hand, it is clear that the Ministers of Austria regard with extreme apprehension the dangers and chances of war. They are aware that they can by no means rely on sup port from any part of Germany, and that it is not impossible that Prussia should take a selfish advantage of the embarrass ments in which Austria might be placed. They cannot hope for the direct military assistance of France or England against Russia, because the whole available force of those States must be directed for the present to the Crimea. Austria has in front of her the four finest corps of the Russian army, amount ing probably to 250,000 men, operating upon a basis of im pregnable fortresses against a frontier which is almost unpro tected from Czernowitz to Olmutz, and, unless Austria is sup ported by her Germanic confect Tates, whose strategical posi tion completes her own, the result of such a contest might depend on the fate of a battle. These are the considerations which doubtless check the resolution of the Cabinet of Vienna; and they are materially aggravated by the want of decisive success on the part of the allied armies. But, although the decision of Austria is not yet taken for active war, she must perceive that there is more danger to herself as well as to Europe from a protracted war than from one vigorous and united effort, in which she would have for her allies the most powerful and civilised nations in the world ; and, as it is now certain that the Emperor of the French is resolved to proceed to the Crimea for the purpose of giving the full weight of his authority to the conduct of the war, the fame, and possibly the existence, of her Government is staked oa the success of this contest. Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch and its enclosures, of which the following are copies, ad dressed to his Lordship by Field-Marshal the Lord Raglap, G.C.B. Before Sebastopol, April 10, 1855. My Lord—ln accordance with the arrangement made between General Canrobert and myself, the batteries of the French and English armies opened upon Sebastopol soon after daylight yesterday morning. The weather was extremely unpropitious. Much rain had fallen in the course of the night, and it continued during the day, accompanied _by a tempestuous wind, and a heavy mist which obscured everything, and ren dered it impossible to ascertain with any degree of accu- . rany the effect of the fire, which has continued with little or no interruption from the commencement, and has been superior ti that of the enemy, who were evidently taken -by surprise, and, except upon the. extreme 'did not respond to the attack for nearly half an hour. This morning has been hazy, and fur some time there was a drizzling rain ; but it is clearing this afternoon, and there is•again a pro,pect of fine weather. The country ycstlrday was covered with water, al d the ground was again very deep. The trenches were likewise extremely muddy, and their condition added greatly to the labours of the men employed in the bat teries, who consisted chiefly of sailors, artillerymen, and sappers. They conducted their duties admirably, and I am sorry to say that the two former, particularly the navy, sus tamed considerable loss. I have not yet received the returns of the casualties beyond the 9th instant, which are herewith enclosed but the death of Lieutenant Tw3 ford, of the Royal Navy, a most promising officer, and greatly respected by all, has been notified to me ; and 'Captain Lord John Hay, who has taken a most active pact in the gallant and dis tinguished services of the naval brigade, was wounded almost at the very moment, I believe by the same shot. I hope the injury he has received is not very serious, but the loss of his assistance, even for a time, is much to be regretted. The Russians have nit shown themselves in any force in front of Balaklava.

Mure, of Caldwell, MP. for the county of Renfrew, has ad- ' dressed a letter to his constituents, from Nice, where he !, is at present residing, intimating his retirement from the representation of the shire. This is understood to have been caused by the ill-health of the colonel and of some of the members of his family. In his letter to his constituents Colonel Mare says—" As the reasons that have induced me to take this step are altogether of a private or domestic nature, I abstain from entering into any detailed explanation of them. It will suffice to re mark that those by which I have mainly been influenced are serious obstacles lately interposed by various causes to my regular attendance in my place in Par l iament —a duty, at the present crisis, more than usually im perative on every member, of the Legislature." Colonel Mure contested Renfrewshire unsuccessfully in 1841, but was returned in 1846 (on the death of Mr. Patrick Maxwell Stewart), and again at the last general election without opposition. He was elected Lord Rector of Glasgow University in 1847, which office he held for two years, and he is well and favourably known in the lite r rary world. As the intimation of his resignation bas taken the constituency by surprise, no candidate tor the vacant seat is yet in the field, but public attention is generally directed to Sir Michael Sbaw Stewart, of Ard gowan, as Colonel Mare's successor. Sir Michael is a young man much esteemed in the county, in which he has a large estate. He was recently married to a daugh ter of the Marquis of Westminster. INSPECTION QF THE GUARDS' PlONEEES.—Yesterday the whole of the pioneers attached to the brigade of Guards were mustered in full marching order at the Horse Guards for the inspection of the Commander-in-Chief and the adjut int-general, to ascertain to what extent the burden of the men can be lightened when on the march. At present the men, in addition to their pioneer tools, have to carry the implements of their trade, which, with their kits, firelock, bayonet, cartouche-box, &c., weigh, without canteen or haversack, nearly 112ib.—a fearful weight on a heavy march, and one that most men would sink under. By command of Lord Hardinge a number of army accoutrement-makers were present ; the different articles the men carried were all subjected to the test of weight ; the men were invited by the Com mander-in-Chief to suggest any improvements that bad occurred to them. It is understood that the cumbrous e leathern apron is to be entirely dispensed with, and the weight hitherto carried reduced to about one-half, the reduction to be extended to the regiments of the ANOTHER GERMAN CONSTITUTION DOOMED.. lia° so apparent as efforts of national life was probably never yet this is the utter impotence of the Germanic Diet for all the highest at the present crisis of German affars ; reminding of mischief are entire a . uphold ingthat its powers decision moment selected by that body for .

On Saturday week 3(' men of this corps v gluuteered into the line, by joining the 54th Regiment, which has a depot at Newcastle ; since then above. 30 more have joined the 54th ; and the 7th Hussars, 6th and 48th Foot, the Royal Marines, and the 56th and 82d Foot, who have recruiting parties in Aluwick, have each en listed men froth the same source. The militia regiment is re cruiting in Newcastle and Berwick. FROLICKING ENSIGNS. The Commander-in-Chief, we are glad to see, has issued a memorandum severely censuring two ensigns of the 30th Regiment for insulting, in' a very infamous manner, Ensign Falkuer, of the 50th Regiment. We hope that this whole some and very necessary punishment and disgrace will effec tually put an end to a system which, although tolerated amongst school-boys, is :dtogether unworthy of men who hold her Majesty's commission, and who have voluntarily taken upon themselves responsibilities and duties both honourable and important. It is very evident that these dis gusting and ungentleman-like practices are more general in the army than is supposed ; and that they are not confined ' o the infantry regiments may be seen from the report of an analogous case which has, within the last dap or two, occurred iu a cavalry regiment now in Canterbury Barracks. A duel was threatened, and, but for the timely interference of a ser jeant of the regiment, it might have ended in loss of life to one or both of the officers concerned. The report of this last named case will be found reported below. The following is the document issued by the Commander-in-Chief : " Horse Guards, March 23, 1855. " It appears that on the let of March, Ensigns Sanders and Neville, of the 30th Regiment, broke in the door of Ensign Falkner, 50th Regiment, pulled him out of bed, compelled him to go into the room of Ensign Neville, and there grossly insulted him by.threatening and attempting to throw him out of the window, threatening to make him eat a candle, and actually smearing his mouth with tallow, kicking him out of the room, and, after following him into his own apartment, throwing several things at him, and having with a suck broken part of his furniture, forced him on MR Irnpoa, and kicked in the panel of his door. " Ensign Falkner reported these circumstances to Captain Tillbrook, commanding the depot companies of the 50th Re giment, on the following morning Captain Tillbrook, 50th, In conjunction with Brevet-Major Campbell, of the 3iith Re giment, agreed to accept an apology from the two officers, and a full and ample one was made by Ensign Neville on the morning of the 3d, Ensign Sanders having gone to Cork on duty on the day preceding ; on his return he also made a full and ample apology for what had occurred, and Ensign Falk ner was satisfied. , " It must here be remarked that this disgraceful conduct of Ensigns Sanders and Neville was unjustifiably compromised by the injudicious and irregular decision of Brevet-Major Campbell and Captain Tillbrook, who, as commanding com panies only, and having in no respect any jurisdiction in the discipline of the battalion of which their companies form a part, were iu duty bound to make known the complaint of Ensign Falkner to Colonel Passy, their commanding officer. " The General Commanding-in-Chief cautions Brevet-Major Campbell and Captain Tillbrook against the a , sumption of an authority with which they are not invested, and de sires that, on all occasions involving the character of offi cers, and the discipline of the service generally, they will communicate with their commanding officer, who in this case was Colonel Passy. " Ensigns Sanders and Neville may think themselves thus far fortunate that by the error—the General Commanding-in- Chief is willing to say the mistaken leniency of Brevet-Major' Campbell and Captain Tillbrook they have escaped the inevitable consequence of conduct o ungentleman-like as that of which, by their own acknowledgment, they were guilty towards Ensign Falkner. " But what opinion can be formed of an officer who, after apologising for an outrage committed, and narrowly escaping its merited punishment, again commits himself by insulting the same individual. " It is shown that Colonel Passy was obliged very severely to reprimand Ensign Neville on the 13th instant, for having used very insulting language to Ensign Falkner on the pre vious Saturday, and i was then for the first time that Colonel Passy heard of the outrage previously committed—the repe tition of which would have been prevented if the previous case had been reported. " The General Commanding-in-Chief, although disposed to accept the atonement of Ensign Sanders for his participa tion in the insult offered in the first instance, cannot avoid marking with his severest displeasure the repeated miscon duct of Ensign Neville, and his total disregard of the printed instructions given him on joining the 30th Regiment. The apology of a gentleman is accepted as a promise and a gua rantee against the repetition of an offence ; but no rePance can be placed upon an officer who so far forgets what is due to the character of a man of honour as to repeat the offence which be had expiated by an avowal of regret. This opinion of the General Commandi g-ici-Chief on the conduct of Ensign Neville will be read in presence of al the algal a the clept.b4tflin at Amoy, waled Or that _ THE VIENNA CONFERENCE: (From. the Tidies of this day.) the outset the uncertainty and destroys the hopes raised at t TvhieenparaocheaevedinagLofrtehaeehPeleanaippoeteierittiawrihieseohf at e a G a r a e e at Powers at and in the progress of these negotiations.

This course was followed tha whenLord Malmesbury broke off the negotiation at Lill e i n 1797, and when Lord Lauderdale returned from Paris in 1806.

Thi s answer b rought the negotiation to a close. The position of Russia iu this negotiation may therefore no w ussi a in th at proposal ack be clearly defined. She professed to give her assent to a document based upon the notes of the Bth of August, and the Four Points as the basis of a definitive arrangement, well knowing that the diminution or abatement of her own power in the • Black Sea formed an essential part of those terms. The mode in which this abatement of her power in the Black Sea was to be effected depended chiefly era the results of our military and naval operations while the negotiation was going on ; but, as Sebastopol was still un taken, and a part of the Russian fleet undestroyed, the pro position itself assumed the mildest form ; nothing was said of the destruction of Sebastopol, and tho Allies professed their willingness to make peace on condition that Russia should no longer maintain in the Black Sea a naval power fatal this Ru Conference to s point,a n the existenceaarfrtiev iMinisterse. o d aia. refused u f e ass he T d u i. et .

The effect produced upon the enemy by these discussions is therefore null and void, and we must even doubt whether Russia had acceded with sincerity to any part of the proposed • compromise. It remains for us to consider what will be the effect of these Conferences and their termination on our relations with the other Powers of Europe, and especially with Austria. rib Rinualint; tam itionsias nolvaa Doak Witte .

THE EMPEROR AND EMPRESS AT BOULOGNE. -- A letter from Boulogne, this morning,.gives the following account of the proceedings of the Impe 'rial party there during Sunday : " I mentioned to you yesterday the arrival ,of their Majesties after a good passage, both the Emperor and the Empress havieg escaped all annoyance from the state of the sea. This morning, at a quarter to, eleven, their Majesties, attended by a brilliant escort, walked from the Hotel to the parish church of St. Peter's, the fishermen's church, on the heights, overlooking the har bour, where they heard a low mass. A dense crowd was assembled to receive them, although it was thought that but few knew of their Majestic,' intention. After mass a brilliant review of the four camps took place in the sands opposite the Hotel. 40,000 men, under the orders of General Mac Mah on , Bourgon, l'Admi rault,n the left,andß o o i r .ell t i h w e esrheodrrtaeswtnsuiL in along par a llel o g ram .

DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT AT THE BLAL4 IRONWORKS, SOUTH WALES.

Luckily the man, who is an unusually careful engineer-, started it at a very l ow speed. Had he not done - so, it is fearful to contemplate the extent of injury that might have ensued both to life and property ; for almost as soon as it started, he found that there was a some thing amiss with the great fly-wheel, the reversion of which caused a sudden jcrk Aind a 10 **1 erewhisi s He immediately shut off his steam to stop the machinery, and having called the carpenter, they made a proper examination of the. engine, and soon found that some miscreant had inserted a bolt of iron between the cogs of the great driving wheel. The iron was forced out, and fell into a pond of water under neath the wheel, from which it was afterwards fished out, and was found to bear marks corresponding with injuries of the cogs themselves. An inquiry was immediately instituted, with a view to ascertain who, as the iron must have been introduced into the wheel purposely, could have been guilty of so diabolical an act, and at length suspicion fell on a man named James Norman. He had been seen during the time that the engine was stopped standing close to the wheel, and suspicion falling on no other person, Norman was ar rested and taken before the magistrates, charged with the crime. Two of the shearers engaged at the works, named John Whitley and William Vaughan, swore dis tinctly to having seen him standing close: by the great driving wheel, and one of them added that he saw him throw something towards the wheel. _ _ Mr. Richard Arnold, the engineer of the Cwmcelyn mill, was present at the examination, and stated that had full power been put upon the engine after the iron was in the wheel, the damage might haVe amounted to 10,0001. or even to 15,0001., besides which there would have probably been a sacrifice of human life, which he shuddered to estimate. The prisoner simply denied the offence, or that he bad been near to the driving-wheel, as was alleged by the witnesses, but both Whitley and Vaughan were positive as to his identity ; and the magistrate, after commenting on the diabolical nature of the attempt, fully committed . Norman to take his trial for the offence. The occurrence, as may be supposed, bad produced quite a sensation in the neighbourhood. TEE TVEATHEIt IN THE BALTIC.

The girder, which was of great weight, immediately 'fell , outward ; and being fastened by means of chains to the other three, they were also drawn out with it, and the whole fell with a tremendous crash, carrying with it a mass of platform work, and snapping immense bulks as easily as it they werereeds. The foreman Ives, and George Bannister, who were standing on the girder at the time, were carried with the f tiling mass, and were both killed ; and two other men, who were beAriding the girder, were also carried down with it, but, marvellous to relate, escaped with comparatively slight injuries. The weight of the mass which fell could not have been less than 200 , tons, but luckily the girders are not hurt. Ives, the foreman, was a workman of great experience, and had. before bad some very narrow escapes with his life. In December last, when some of the saxie work fell, he had his leg broken. DESPATCII or BUSINESS IN THE COURT OF CHAN CRRY.—A bill brought from the House of Lords on the 30th ult. proposes to make further provision for the more speedy and efficient despatch of business in the High Court .of Chancery, by appointing an additional. junior clerk to each of the Chief Clerks, and by the aryointment of additional junior clerks hereafter, if necessary. In the Report-office of the Court of Chancery, the office of Master of Reports and Entries is to be abolished from the first occurrence of a vacancy, and the hu4ness of the seid office will.thenee forth be conducted under the superintendence and con trol of the Clerks of Records and Writs, and Epteripg Clerks under the Registrars. A. provision!is made for the continuance of the allary of the present Master of Reports and Entries, Mr. James Thomas Fry. The salaries of the present Clerks of Records and Writs may be increased by the Lord Chancellor if he shall deem the duties devolving upon them too extensive in pro- portion to their present salaries, such additional salaries not to exceed 2001. a year each. The Lord Chancel lor is also empowered to grant a retiring allowance of 1001. a-year to Mr. Alexander M'Kean, employed in the Report-office for 25 years, and now superannuated. Solicitors appointed to administer oaths under the 16th and 17th of Victoria, chap. 78, are to exercise their powers only at their place of business, except'when at. tending sick persons. The bill also proposes to vest in the Lord Chancellor the ground and buildings of the said court, situate in Southampton-buildings, Chancery' lane, with powers of leasing and sale thereof.
