IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS--(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack five o'clock. Some bills, including the Fisheries Bill, were advanced tage. the house to address her Majesty upon the present position of affairs, it should yet be done in a solemn, constitutional manner after due notice, and not by a sort of side wind, as some hon. members seemed now to desire. (Hear.) He therefore implored the house not to be led into a dis cussion at this moment, which could accomplish no public object, while it might seriously obstruct the settlement of affairs. Let the house then wait until they had a responsible Government before them when explanations might be fairly and properly demanded, and not waste time in en tering upon a conversation of this kind. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MUNTZ thought the house was in a very humilia ting situation already, and the country was in a hu miliating coudition—(hear, hear)—for here they had been wasting eight or nine whole days to get a Government, and now it almost seemed that none could be formed. Why should the country have to wait until three or four aristocratic families had adjusted their disputes be fore it could obtain a Government ? (Hear.) The fact was the feeling was growing out of doors that there were men disconnected with these aristocratic families of sufficient energy and ability to carry on the Government, and to those they ought to address themselves. (Hear, hear.) It was the feeling of the people of England that the heads of the different parties were unnecessarily wasting time, and if something were not done to put an end to the present state of things the country would not only be disgraced in the eyes of Europe, but placed in a position of imminent danger. (Cheers.) Mr. MALINS could not look at the present state of things without serious alarm, and he agreed with the hon. gentleman who had just addressed them, that it was anything but satisfactory to the country that 8 or 9 days should be Th allowed evot eto that ela Government being formed. p\Sveaswciotmhoeutoaantythe early part of last week was intended as a vote of censure upon the Government, and what had since occurred had proved that the censure was well merited. (Hear, hear.) It was, indeed, a dis astrous state of things that in a country like this a body of men could not be found capable of managing the Go vernment, but the time had arrived when it was absolutely necessary that the people should take the matter into their own hands and no longer allow the administration of their political affairs to depend upon the wills or the whims of a few aristocratic families. (Cheers.) If those aristo erotica could not find men competent enough for the task amongst themselves they should have the good sense to give wa y, and he demanded to know of the right honour able gentleman opposite whether they had any reason able prospect of forming a Government. (Loud cheers.) He blamed the Duke of -Newcastle for having undertaken an office for which he was not fit, while ho equally blamed the noble lord the member for London for acquiescing in the appointment. He hoped the house would not tolerate this state of things ; and if a Government was not formed before Thursday, he should expect to see an address moved to the Crown on the subject. He attributed the present state of affairs to the unfortunate breaking up of the Con servative party in 1845 ; but he believed the time had come when the country would no longer be governed by the minority in Parliament. Mr. S. WORTLEY put it to the house whether this communication could be of any service to the country ? He apprehended not ; and since they had been informed that the one man to whom the country looked at this juncture was engaged in the formation of a Government, what other course could they take but at once assent to the adjournment. Mr. ROEBUCK remarked, in answer to Mr. Malins, that the minority were not to blame that the Conservatives were not in office, because the leader of that party had been called upon to form an Administration, and he had failed to do so. With regard to proceeding with the committee, he could not do so in the absence of a responsible Govern. meet ; while, as for what had been stated about the noble lord the member for Tiverton, he hoped he would sot the obstructions aside, and form an Administration of men who, if they did not obtain the support of the house, would be likely to receive the confidence of the country. (Cheers.) After a few words of explanation from Mr. L'aevriNcis, The house adjourned at 10 minutes past five o'clock. THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS. - _ Lord ABERDEEN, in moving the adjournment of the house, said--My lords, before the nest meeting of the house, I trust that the embarrassment which at present •aiets will be entirely removed. - Their lordships thou adjourned until Thursday. ROUSE OF COMMONS—TESTERDAT. The BPEAKIER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a second time, and or dered to be committed : Alford and Boston Road ; Ches terfield Water and Gas ; Cork and Youghal Railway ; Cornwall Railway; Dandee and Perth and Aberdeen Railway ; Glasgow and South Western Railway Consoli dation ; Londonderry Improvement • Manchester Shef- P dell, and Lincolnshire Railway (Lincoln Branch,' &c.); Newport Corporation ; Over Darwen Gas ; Sheffield Gas ; and Dundalk Harbour and Port. SOLDIERS' PA Y. Colonel B. 'KNOX seeing the right hon. the Secretary at War in his place he wished to put a question to him of which ho had not given him notice. Complaints had been made by persons in this country who hail had money sent to them from their relatives serving in the East that they were unable to obtain the money, and on application to the War-office they were given to under stand that they were unable to receive the money, from the circumstance that up to a late date in last year no ac count had been received from the P a ymaster-General. Now he wished to know if that was correct or not ? Mr. S. HERBERT—Perhaps the gallant officer will re peat the question to-morrow; but I understand no accounts have been received from the paymasters of the regiments. Colonel B. KNOX—No, no accounts have been received from the Paymaster-General. HOSPITAL AT SCUTARI. Mr. BENTINCK wished to ask the Secretary at War, 'whether it is true that Dr. Lawson, who was recently severely censured in General Orders by the Commander in Chief for his " apathy and indifference towards the sick and wounded on board the Avon transport," has been ap pointed as principal medical officer to the hospital at Scu tari ; and if so, by whose authority that appointment was made ? Mr. S. HERBERT said, I have no official account of the appointment of Dr. Lawson, but I have reason to believe that private letters have been received stating that Dr. Lawson has been temporarily put in charge of the hospital at Scutari, and have inquired by what authority he could have been so appointed, an d I am informed that the distribution of offices in the medical staff is left to the chief medical officer, but his appointments are subject to the sanction of the highest military authority. I may state that Dr. Cumming, who was at the head of the Scutari hospital, has been to Balaklava to inquire into the state of the hos pital, but I have every reason to believe that he has re turned to Scutari, and at this moment, therefore, he is at the head of the hospital, and not Dr. Lawson. DUTY ON FOREIGN WINES. Mr. OLIVEIRA gave notice that on Tuesday, the 20th inst., he should call the attention of the house to the pre sent rate of duty charged on foreign and colonial wines. PROMOTION IN THE AItMY. Lord GODERICH intimated that on this day fortnight he should move that in the opinion of the house the present system of promotion in the army, by which non-commissioned officers seldom attained the rank of commissioned officers, and rarely of field officer, was..unjust to the private soldier, and ought to be amended. (Hear.) BURIAL GROUNDS. Mr. A. PELLATT gave notice that he should postpone his motion on the books to-day on this subject until Tues day, the 20th inst. THE CAVALRY CHARGE AT BALAKLAVA. Mr. 11. BERKELEY postponed his motion for inquiry into the conduct of Lord Lucan, in ordering the charge of Light Cavalry at Balakla.va, until this day week. THE CIVIL SERVICE OF INDIA. Sir E. PERRY asked the President of the Board of Con trol, Ist, Whether as the regulation for the examination of candidates for the civil service of India give a manifest advantage to candidates who have been educated in England under the English system of education, and arrangements are in contemplation by which Hindoos and Mussulinen, who may be equally well educated under a different sys tem, may be admitted to compete with reference to their own branches of knowledge ; and, secondly, if no such arrange ments are in contemplation whether Hindoos and Muasul men, and other natives of India, may be admitted to com pete, under the present rules, without being obliged to undertake the expensive journey to England, which in the case of Elindoos militates against their religious opinions and feelings ? In doing so the hon. gentleman was pro eeecling to enter into a few explanatory remarks, but was interrupted by cries of "order," and resumed his seat after simply putting the question. Sir C. WOOD, after alluding to the extreme inconve nience, under present circumstances, of questions by hon. gentlemen being accompanied by any reference to facts and arguments, he (Sir C. Wood) did not, in replying., intend to make any observations with regard to the regulations now laid on the table ; but he might say that, to a certain extent, the regulations must be of an experi mental character, and there was no intention at present of making any alteration in them. (Hear, hear.) THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS. Sir GEO. GREY—Sir, I beg to inform the house that I have received a message from my noble friend the Secre tary of State for the Home Department, stating that ho has received a conithission from her Majesty to undertake the formation of a Government. Under these circumstances he has requested that I would move that the house at its rising should adjourn until Friday next ; but I have been informed since I came into the house, that it would be an inconvenience if the house adjourned over to-morrow, as there is some builnese which will not occupy much time to be disposed of to morrow. Therefore the houseat its rising will adjourn as usual until to morrow, but it may be understood that the sitting will only be of short duration. On the motion that the house do now adjourn, Mr. BENTINCK rose for the purpose of calling the at tengon of the house to the anomalous and disastrous state of public affairs at the present moment. It was impossible, he said, to imagine a state of things more disastrous than those which at present existed, as regarded both the cha racter and prospects of the country. (Hear, hear.) It was now more than a week since a vote of the house had compelled the resignation of the Government, and he wished to know;wha7t had occurred during that time—time *w e:cry hour of which was invaluable, and on the proper dis tribution of which might, in all probability, depend the lives of thousands of our fellow-countrymen. (Cheers.) If he was rightly informed—and it should be understood he was speaking from publicrumour in the absence of any better guide—the Earl of Derby had, in the first instance, been commissioned to form a Government, and that he had made an attempt to do so, and appealed at the outset to the noble lord the late Secretary for the Home Depart ment. The latter noble lord, it was said at first, consented to fall in with the arrangements proposed, but be was stated subsequently to have declined to accept them. Now, he hoped the noble lord would take a proper time to explain to the house and the country that course of conduct which if correct, as he (Mr. Bentinck) had stated it, certainly looked very mach like vacillation. It was further stated that the late President of the Council had afterwards been called upon by her Majesty to form an Administration, but the attempt, as the noble lord had in formed them, had failed after a few hours' exertion, a re sult which after the proceedings of the last few days was not surprising. (Laughter, and hear, hear.) Then it was said that the noble lord the late Secretary of the Home Department had been for some days attempting, and so far as he (Mr. Bentinck) at present knew, without success to form an Administration ; and they were farther t~~i, ed , by rumour, that the difficulties which the noble lord had had to contend with arose from the determination of certain pub lie men to insist upon a preponderance of their own pm ty in constituting a Government. Now he would este the house, was this a creditable state of things for the country to find itself in? (Hear, hear.) Was it right they should be listening night after night to peesonel recriminations be tween noble members in the other house end noble lords in that house, whilst other public men were engaged in en deavouring to obtain a preponderance of their own party )3efore another Government could be formed, although the affairs of the country were in so disastrous a condition ? It was impossible to conceive anything more discredita ble or disastrous than the delay which had taken place during the last few days in the constitution of a Ministry capable of carrying on the affairs of the country. (Hear.) He had been induced to make these remarks in the hope that having done so he might induce others who had more weight than he had in that house to take up the subject, and call upon the house for an eepreseion of its opinion, which might lead to a better state of things, and to a termination of the delay which had hitherto interrupted the conduct of public business. (Hear, hear.) He need not remind the house that the lives of thousands of their fellow-creatures might be depending upon every mis-employed hour, and he trusted the house would express its opinion in the way be had suggested, so that their present position might no longer continue to weaken the character of the country both at home and abroad.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER, TUESDAY. On Saturday the monotony which had previously ex isted as regards the betting upon the Liverpool Steeple chase was to a great extent broken by the rapid advance of both Miss Mowbray and The Trout, the former springing front 15 to 1 to 11 to 1, the latter from 25 to 1 to 14 to 1, the short odds being taken freely about each. Brown Brandy was in considerable demand for the Ches ter Cup, and would have been backed to money at 40 to 1 ; the highest offer, however, was 100 to 3. The first four favourites were altogether untouched, although 25 to 1 was currently offered en the field. Yesterday (Monday) Miss Mowbray and The Trout were again in force for the Liverpool Steeplechase. The horse, had, however, just the call of the mare. Each were backed at 10 to 1, but at the close that price was unobtainable about the latter, but was offered against the former. St. Hubert for the Two Thousand Guinea Stakes, who has been very quiet in the market of late, found a friend, who quietly, and with his usual tact, succeeded in backing him to win near 3001. at 3 to 1, the movement scarcely being ob served. Bonnie Morn bad ne friends at 4 to 1. An dover and Rotherham, both for the Chester Cup, were each backed at 200 to 9, but at the close no advance upon 20 to 1 could be obtained against either of them. 25 to 1 was currently offered on the field, bar two. To-day (Tuesday), although the acceptances for the Liverpool Steeplechase were published. the betting upon it woe' unimportant. 1.0 to 1 was offered on the field, and Miss Mowbray scented rather "shakey," having n o friends at' 14 to 1. St. Hubert, for the Two Thousand Guineas Stake, was a worse forourite than yesterday; 65 to 20 was offered without a response. We think Lord of the Isles in reality is as good a favourite as anything. We may here remark that the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes has this year been a better betting race than we have seen it for some time. Very few books are open upon the Metropolitan Handicap, and only the favour:tes are in quired after, the only horse that was Lacked for money fur the Chester Cup was Bright Phcebus 1,00 t) to 30 was taken in one bet, as well as other sums at the same price, 900 to 20 was taken, about Little Harry, and the old price of 40 to 1 was asked for in vain about Brown Brandy, 15 to 2 was offered agst St. Hu bert for the Derby, but we think 8 to 1 would have been laid ; 300 to 25 was taken once about Lord of the Isles.

BOW-STREET.—Frede , :ick Dress, a solicitor's clerk, Wha brought before Mr. Henry under a warrant issued for his apprehension on a charge of having feloniously fixed and used certain stamps upon a document, such stamps having been previously used on, and afterwards removed from, another document. Mr, Earwaker, of the solicitor's department of the Stamp-office, who appeared for the prosecution (which was at the instance of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue), stated the case, by which it appeared that, by an act passed in 182, the tees payable on certain pre ceedinge in the Court of Chancery are directed to be col lected by means of adhesive stamps to be affixed to the various documents issued from that court, in lieu of the former practice of receiving such fees by payments in money—the adhesive stamps so affixed being cancelled by the officer of the court on the document being passed by him. On the Ist instant the prisoner presented at the office of the Record and Writ Clerks, in Chancery lane, a copy of an affidavit made by himself in a suit " Drew v. Drew," for the purpose of having such copy marked as an office copy ; the document so presented had affixed them eon the usual stamps intended to denote the amount of the fees payable in respect of it, but the. attention of the officer being directed to the appearance of some of the stamps he detained the document, and the result of a further examination of the stamps led to the apprehension of the prisoner. Evidence having -been adduced in support of the charge, the prisoner was remanded for a week to com plete the further evidence against irk:. HEALTH OF LONDON DURTNG THE WEEK. (Pr•orrm the RegiBtrur-Ge.nerars Return.) The mortality of London is still excessive, and the number of deaths, as now returned, exhibits but a small decrease on that of the previous week. In the last five weeks the deaths were-1,404, 1,466, 1,54.9, 1,630, and 1,604. The mean t:miperattire in each of the same weeks was 45.5 deg., 39'3 deg., 28 . 9 deg., 29.3 deg., and 29 . 3 deg. Throughout December the temperature was about 41 deg. ; and the deaths in a week were about 1,300. The weather became colder by 12 deg., and produced an increase of 300 in the deaths. _ In the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1845-54 the average number of deaths was 1,103, which may be compared with the last week's return, after raising the former by a tenth part for increase of population. Last week the birth of 845 boys and 803 girls, i■ all, 1,643 children were registered in London. In the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1845.54 the average number was 1,489. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer i❑ the week was 29 . 619 in. The highest reading was 29 . 92 in. on the morning of Friday. The mean temperature of the week was 29'3 deg., which 'is the same as in the previous week, and less by 8.3 deg. than the average of the same week in 38 years. The mean daily temperature was below the average by about 7 deg. on the first three days, about 10 deg. below it on Wednesiay and Thursday, 111 deg. below it on Fri day, and 5 deg. below it on Saturday, and was 39.6 deg. ; the lowest was 22.2 deg., and occurred on Friday. The mean dew-point temperature was 26 . 6 deg., an the dif ference between this and the moan air temperature was 21 der. The temperature of the water of the Thames was 36 . 4 deg. The wind blew generally from the north east till Saturday, when it changed to east and south east. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.

The Pembroke, 61, screw, Captain Seymour, will haul into the steam basin at Portsmouth, to-day, to receive her boilers and machinery. The Nankin, 50, Captain Keith, is lying up at the Black Stakes, River Medway. On Monday she swung ship and adjusted her compasses, under the superintend ence of Mr. Barlow, master of the Formidable. She is taking in some trifling store', when she will proceed to Plymouth. Her future destination will be either India or China. She has a fine crew, we hear. The Amphion, 34, screw, Captain Key, is'in No. 2 dry dock, Sheerness. Her false keel is broken off in several places ; the keel will have to be wholly replaced by a now one. She was rubbed a little with the ice in the Baltic, where she was on shore more than once, as long as 20 hours at a time. The mechanics are busily employed bedding her new boilers below, &c. The Pylades, 21, screw, Captain D'Eynconrt, hauled out of No. 1 dry dock, Sheerness, yesterday afternoon, and has gone under the sheers to take a portion of her heavy machinery in ; her topmasts are on end, and every facility is given to get her forward as soon as possible. The Tartar, 21, screw, Captain Dunlop, is moored on the west shore, Sheerness ; preparations were made to swing her to adjust her compasses, but the thick hazy weather prevented it. She is an exceedingly smart looking vessel, and rumour sends her to the Black Sea. The Desperate, 8, screw, Captain White, is in the basin, Sheerness, refitting, &c. The Melampus, store frigate, Commander Borlase, has hauled out of the basin at Sheerness, at last, and is moored over on the other shore ; she progresses fast in all respects. The Geyser, 6, paddle, Commander Roderick Dew, received advanced wages, yesterday, at Spithead. The Cuckoo, 3, paddle, Lieut.-Commander Augustus Murray, has steamed out of the camber at Sheerness, and is lying up the harbour. The Lizard, 3, paddle, Lieut.-Commander Christopher, arrived in the harbour, Sheerness, yesterday afternoon, from picking up the wreck of the Fanny, on the coast. The Avon, tender, Master Commander Veitcb, sailed from Portsmouth, for Plymouth, yesterday, with super numeraries and men returning from leave of absence. Captain Gordon, of the Duke of Wellington, will relieve Captain Hay in the Victory this morning at Portsmouth. The latter officer will be flag-captain to Rear-Admiral Houston Stewart, C. 8., second in com mand in the Black Sea fleet. We are very sorry to hear that Commander Booth, of her Majesty's steamer Nile, has applied to be super seded. The fatigue he has undergone in fitting out the Nile and the hard work of the Baltic campaign have wrought upon his health, and reluctantly forced upon him the step which sheer necessity alone induced him to take. The Harbinger, screw steam transport, one of the squadron of the. General Screw Steam Navigation Com pany, Commander Sharp, arrived at Portsmouth and went into harbour yesterday afternoon at 1 to land wounded officers and men from the seat of war, but the latter were (Tiered by _Government telegraph to be taken to Chatham in the Flip. She sailed from Seatari on the 12th ult , at 5 p.m. ; arrived at Malta on the 18th, at 12 p.m. ; left on the 19th, at 8 p.m. ; arrived at Gibta!tar on the 26th, nt 5 p.m. ; left on the 28th, at 4.m. ; and arrived at Soutbampton on Monday, the sth inst., at 4 p.m., where she remained all night, and left yesterday, about 11 a.m., for Portsmouth Harbour. The Harbinger brought home the following officers and men :—Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Thomas Troubridge, of the 7th Fusiliers, with loss of both feet at Inkerman ; Major Gobbles, of the 85th, wounded in the elbow at Inkerman ; Captain Macdonald, of the 95th, wounded in 17 places by the bayonet and one gunshot wound, which brought him down ; Captain Marsh, of the 550 ; Captain Bush, elbow joint shot away at Inkerman ; Captain Fitzroy, wounded in the knee at Inkerman ; Lieutenant Arquimbau, R.N. ; Lieutenant P. Cahill, of the 49th, wounded in the foot at Inkerman ; Lieutenant Twysden, of the 55th ; Mr. George Dundee, M.P. ; Deputy-Assistant-Commissary-General Thornhill ; Dr. Menzies, Deputy-Inspector of Hospitals at Scutari ; Staff-Assistant-Surgeon Bayfield ; Assistant-Surgeon Flower, of the 63d ; Bandmaster Koesil, of the 4th ; Bandmaster Thomas, of the 77th ; Captain Curtis, R.A. from Gibraltar ; Quartermaster M`Queen, of the 92d Highlanders ; and 81 military invalids, 4 soldier ser vants, 4 civilians, and 5 distressed British subjects. The invalids and wounded men were from the follow ing regiments :—Royal Artillery. 2 ; 2d Dragoon Guards, 2 ; Bth Hussars, 1 • Enniskillen Drag oons , 2 ; 11th ussars, 1 ; 13th Light Dragoons, 1 ; 17th Lancers, 3; Grenadier Guards, 7; Scots Fusilier Guards, 1 ; 7th Fusiliers, 1 ; 19th Foot, 3 ; 20th, 2 ; 21st, 1 ; 23d, 3 ; 30th, 5 ; 33d, 7 ; 41st, 1 ;44th, 1 ;47th, 6 ; 490,2 ; 50th, 1 ; 55th, 1 ; 57th, 6 ; 63d, 1 ; 68th, 4 ; 77th, 2 ; 79, 1 ; 88th, 2 ; 93d, 2 ; 95th, 1 ; Ist Battalion Rifle Brigade, 3 ; 2cl ditto, 2. These cases were all doing well, under the care of Staff Assistant-Surgeon Bayfield, in charge, and Lieutenant Cahill in command, and will leave for Chatham this morning without being disturbed. But why could not the ship have been despatched from Malta to Chatham direct, instead of first going to Southampton on Monday, waiting there all night, then going to Portsmouth yesterday, and staying there all night, finally leaving for Chatham this the third day after their arrival in Engesnd ! Major-General Sir Frederick Smith, R.E., and Staff, and the usual officials superin tended the disembareation of those officers and others lauded at Portsmouth. Captain Fitzroy, Lieutenant Twysden, Mr. Dundas, Dr. Menzies, A. S Flower, Mr, Koesll, Mr. Thomas, and Captain Curtis landed at Southampton, and the other wounded and invalid offi cers at Portsmouth dockyard. Major Gubbins, Captain Bush, and Captain Macdonald were earned to the George Hotel, sod Sir Thomas Troubridge, who is the son of Nelson's Captain Troubridge, and nephew of Vice- Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8., Commander-in- Chief at Portsmouth, was carried in an invalid chair by a fatigue party to the Admiralty-house. As soon as the Harbinger was rsportect in sight Sir Thomas Cochrane went out to meet her in the Fire Queen steam tender. Rear Admiral Chad 4 and numerous other officers were quickly on board as soon as she came into harbour. She spoke the following ships on her passage home --Jan. 15, off Cape St. Angelo, the steara transport Imperatrice (Nu. 150), with troops for the Crimea, all well ; Jan. 21, exchanged numbers with the Inverary Castle ; 25th, passed, off Cape de Gatte, the schooner Isabella and the brig Odessa, bound for the eastward ; 27th, passed the Sultana (No. 32 sailing transport), with invalids, home ward-bound ; the Clyde and the Lady Egliut MI trans ports were at Malta, outward bound. Assistant Quar termaster-General Delgetty personalty attended Captain -Macdonald to the Gscrge Hotel, by his litter. The sick and wounded landed from various ships lately at Portsmouth, and quartered in the. new garrison hos pital, are all doing well under the skilful and unremitting attention of Dr. Lawson, Ordnance Medical Officer, and Assistant-Surgeon Henry Bishop, of the Royal Wilts Militia (a voluntter, who considers himself amply re warded by the thanks and smiles of the gallant patients for anything he does for them). It will be pleasing to their friends and the service to know that the wounded Ara most assiduously and tenderly cared for. There are many badly wounded from Alma and Inkerman, as well as Balaklava, and these are going on very favourably towards convalescence. Thu dysenteric and fever in valida are much the worst looking of the whole, but all are moat grateful for their treatment at. the hands of their medical attendants, and especially for the kindness of Lady Smith and Major-General Sir Frederick Smith, R.E., Acting Lieutenant-Governor of Portsmouth, who go repeatedly, and with their own hands dispense liberally such delicate luxuries as jellies, custards, blanc manges, rusks, biscaits, buns, sponge cakes, and such like relishing confecturee. Lady Smith also gives those who can write memorandum-books, pencils, postage stamps, and paper to write to their friends. The transport-ship Talavera, Captain Scott, which left'Constantinople on the Bth of December, and Malta the 4th of January, arrived in Plymouth Sound yester day afternoon, having on board 19S non-commissioned officers and men from various regiments, under the com mand of Captain O'Brien and Lieut. Harcourt, 300 Regiment, invalided, sick, and in medical charge of As sistant-Surgeon A. T. Sylvester, of the 23d Welsh Fusi liers. Only two deaths have occurred on the passage— viz., Private Carter and Private Ross, both of the Scots Fusilier Guards ; but the wounded have suffered much from the severe weather during the passage from Malta. A succession of heavy gales was experienced in the • Mediterranean from the westward and after leaving Gibraltar from the eastward. The Talavera landed at Malta Commander leloyei, Midshipmen Bailie and Gooch, and 59 seamen, invalids, in charge of Dr. Evans, R.M.; and outside Malta spoke the transport Sultana, No. 32, going in with invalids—all well.

Mr. Watson, Q.C., 'Mr. E. James, Q.C., and Mr. Lush were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Sergeant Wil kills and Mr. Petersdorff for the defendant. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover compensation in damnes for a libel, contained in an anonymous letter, sent .to the committee of the Junior United Service Club, alleged to be composed and pub lished by the drfendaet, 'imputing to the plaintiff that he had been forced to retire from the Corps of Gentle men-at-Areas for peculation and conduct unworthy of an officer and a gall:leo:Lan. The defendant Headed not guilty. The plaintiff, Cep ain Cureng, is a gentleman wbo formerly was the adjutant and clerk of the check of the Corps of Gealemen-at- Arms, mins now a captain of the Royal London NT.ilitia. The defendant, Captain Tompson, is also an officer in the same regiment of mi litia, and was also fora) erly in the Corps of Gentlemen at-Arms. In the mo:it h of August, 1853, Captain Cur , ling was proposed as a member of the Junior United Service Club. The ballot came off in July, 1854. Just after the ballot commenced, at about ten o clock in the morning, the secretary of the club, Mr. Hatch, received an anonymous letter in the following terms .-- " Artillery House, Finsbury, City, July 5, 1854. "Several member' of the Hon. Artillery Company pre sent their respects to the committee of the Junior United Service Club, thinking it is only right to inform the coin mitteo that it is their intention to direct the attention of the Liositenancy of the City of London!to the fact of the Court of Lieutenancy having appointed a man to fill a responsi ble situation who is not; duly qualified or at all fit to hold such appointment. We are in a position to prove that Captain Bunco Curling, of the Royal London Militia Regi ment was forced to retire from the Corps of Gentlemen-at- Arms for peculation and conduct unbecoming of an officer and a gentleman, I. avoid public scandal and the confisca tion of the commission to the Crown. Major Cooke and other officers of the corps forbore to press the charge. Daring his (Curling's) clerkship .to the corps he canvassed the lieutenancy personally, begging votes from men who only knew him as a man holding some appointment at St. J amen's. Had any member known lie (Captain Curling) was-a. man who should hold up his hand at the Old Bailey, it ire not probable he would have stood in your lists as " C ap t. BUNCH CURLING, Royal London Militia Regiment. " Captain Curling has thought proper to villify and al -use the Honourable Artillery Company, having i n coin, nc -n with the officers of the regiment, received every attoi it.:ion from our corps, and used our house during the train:it Ir. However, we hold ourselves to be his supe riors courtesy, as we now mean to be in justice to so ciety a. t large. "To the Committee of the Junior United Service Club." On red .cling this letter Mr. Hatch handed, it to the coin mit tee of the club, by whom it was banded round to -the mei .a'e era present, and the result was that out of 150 votes C.ar t. Curling had 40 black balls. On Capt. Curling lc,ain lag the result, he applied to the committee of the club, and at; &red from them the letter in question. 011 seeing the letter Capt. Cor:ing immediately thought that the letter was in the defendant's bandwreting, although disguised ; he i nimediately put it into the hands of Mr . Netnerelift, the facsimilist, of the Brit ish Mueeuin, agentlemanskill led in the comparison of handwriting, and gave him sem e letters of the defendant which ho had received from him some time before, and Mr. Nethereliff at once gave it as his opinion that the letter was in the handwr:ding of the defendant. It was then put into the hands of other gentlemen ekilled in handwriting, and they al camee to the same conclusion. The motive which, it was irn.puti el, must haul induced the defendant to write the lib el le as but slight. It appeared that in the year 1850 Captait Tompson sold out of the Corps of Gentlemeneit- Alreas t and Captain Curling acted as the friend of the deiteacti nt, as also of the purchaser, aid One COllditi•A Of the agreement was that the accoutrements of the de fendant should be handed over to the purchaser of his commission. Some dispute arose about this, and the plaintiff wrote to him on the subject. and also asking for two guiueas due to the mess fund. To this the defendent wrote a scurrilous letter s denying that he was indebted to the inees, as he had never belonged to it, and saying that those who lived in glees houses should not throw stones, and then went on to impute that the plaintiff had taken a fee of 51. ss. on the transfer of the commission, which he had no right to do, as his late Majesty 'William IV. had directed that it should not be taken, and that be would institute an inquiry into it. Subsequently to this there was such an inquiry at the Lord Chamber lain's-office, which terminated in plaintiff's entire exo neration from all blame in the transaction, and his cap tain, Lord Sandwich, gave him a testimonial to that effect. Subsequently to this the plaintiff became a cap tain in the Royal London Militia,in which the defendant was then a captain ; hut it appeared that they always met as strangers, osily speaking on matters of duty. In support of the plaintiff's case, the plaintiff, the ad jutant of the Ros al London Militia, the pay-sergeant of the defendant's company, and others, were called, who speke to the anonymous letter being in the hand writing of the defendant. After which seieral skilled witnesses were called, who spoke to having compared the anonymonsi letter with several genuine letters of the defendant, and that they believed the anonymous letter was in hie handwriting, alt:iough disguised. For the defence, the defendant was called, who swore that the letter in question was not written by him, or with his knowledge, and he further swore that he did not even know that the plaintiff was a caneidate for admission as a member of the Junior United Service Club. Several witnesses were also called who, on being shown the anonymous letter, swore that the letter was not in the handwriting of the defendant, and, in their opinion, did not resemble it. It was also most eloquently urged by the learned counsel for the defence that there was an entire absence of motive in the defendant to commit so serious an offence as that imputed to him, and that before they could find for the plaintiff, they must find the defendant guilty of perjury. Mr. James, in the absence of Mr. Watson, replied upon the evidence adduced on the part of the defendant, and contended that a person who was base and dastardly enough to write such a cruel slander as that contained in the anonymous letter in question would not hesitate to endeavour to relieve himself from the consequences of his act by coming there to commit the crime of perjury by denying that he wrote the letter. Lord Campbell, in summing up, said that this was a most important case both to the parties and to the public. It was perfectly clear that the letter set out in the de claration was a libel. Indeed, the eloquent counsel nu both sides had equally reprobated the conduct of any person who could write such a dastardly attack on ano ther behind his back, and thus do him a most irreparable injury. The falsity of that letter was admitted on all hands, and the only_question in this case was, who wrote the letter. That was a question peculiarly for the jury. The present case was the first that had been tried in this court in which the provision contained in the 27th sec. of the new Common Law Procedure Act came into ope ration. That was a most salutary provision, and enabled a jury to institute a comparison as to the handwriting of a document alleged to be in the handwriting of the defendant with any other document proved to the satis faction of the judge to be a genuine document in the handwriting of the defendant. In the present case the plaintiff had made out a most serious case for the consi deration of the jury ; but it was for them to say whether that case had been answered by the defendant to their satisfaction. No doubt it was for the plaintiff to make out his case, and if the jury entertained any reasonable doubt on the case they were bount to find for the de fendant. His lordship then went most carefully through the evidence, after which The jury retired to consider their verdict. On their return they found for the plaintiff—damages, 2001.
