There are a variety of rumours afloat concerning Prince Napoleon, his report to the Emperor of the way in which the war is being conducted, and the probable consequences of his representations. Some people profess to know for certain that General Canrobert will be superseded by General Pelissier, who was to have left Algiers on the 18th to take the command of a division in the Crimea. Genet:al Canrobert is of all the soldiers who took a leading part in the ooup d'etat perhaps the most popular in the army, his military genius and exalted personal character being admitted by officers whose political sympathies are altogether adverse to the present regime. It was known long ago that the Emperor looked to him as the man likely to illustrate the French arms under his reign. The high command he now wields is a confir mation of all that has been said about the Emperor's con fidence in him, and I do not believe that confidence is at this moment in any degree forfeited. But this much is true :—There is at the Palais Royal a species of tolerated opposition to the Tuileries. Prince Napo:awl, as you have seen by the article in the Presse, has put himself upon the country as a censor of the actual commander of the army before Sebastopol. That he may have made a report /Tablet Generel Canrobert is very likely. It is possible that for reasons of etete an apparent importance may be allowed to be attached to this report in certain court crolce. But there is small likelihood it will be acted , upon. It is said M. Magne will shortly be appointed Minister of Finance in the place, of M. Einean. whose health is in a desperate state. M. Rouher is spoken of as likely te be the new Minister of Public Werke. M. Magne wishes to keep the latter portfolio mad the affair of Grand Central Railway, in which he takes a great intereet, is settled. The general meeting, which it was thought would have been postponed, was held yesterday. The managetnent asked for full powers to continue their negotiations with Go vernment for the Nevers and several other branch lines. These powers were granted unanimously. No fresh call was spoken of, but it was agreed that special bonds should be created for the execution of the Nevers line. People pretend that the article in Wednesday's Moni teur on the success of the loan was written by the Emperor. THE TRADE AND PORT OF LONDON YIESUS THE DOCK COMPANIZS. Yesterday afternoon a most influential meeting of the principal wharfingers, granarymen, up-town warehouse men, watermen, and lightermen interested in the port and trade of London, was held at the Ship Tavern, Water-lane, Lower Thames-street, for the purpose of considering and Adopting measures to oppose the bills at present before Parliament to increase the powers of the East and West India Dock Companies, as also the Lon don and St. Katharine's Docks, t o i ncrease their powers to tax the merchant', traders, wharfi ngere , warehouse keepers, lightermen, anigranarymen of London and the metropolitan districts. Mr. J. W. Hall, of the Custom -house and Wool Quays, was unanimously called to the chair. Mr. BICILIT, of the Legal and Sufferance Quays Asso ciation, having briefly adverted to the objects for which the meeting had been convened, Mr. Simeni SMITI, the Secretary to the promoters of the movement, read a very lengthened, ingenious, and elaborate statement of the evils •f the proposed enact ments by the Dock Companies' Ella to all persons con nected with the navigation of the river Thames or the port of London. The statement was received and adopted by the meet ing with great applause. Mr. Pillow, Mr. Curling, and several other gentlemen, having addressed the meeting, resolutions were agreed te, and a committee formed for the purpose of organ ising a general opposition to the measure before Parlia ment, and to induce the Government from asnentiog to their support to the proposed measure ; and after some general observations, a subscription was entered into to a large amount to carry into effect the objects of the meeting. A vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the meeting separated. LAW INTELLIGENCE-(TiILS DAY). COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. THE QUEEN V. THE PHARMACEUTICAL lOCIETY. This matter came before the court in a special case. The luestien which it waste decide was whether the regis trar of the society had properly enrolled two gentlemen, named Murdock and Abrahams, who had been in busi ness as chemists before the society obtained their act of incorporation. The question was argued at great length last term, and the court this morning gave judgment, pronouncing in favour of the registrar, who they held had acted properly in the discharge of his duty. The judgment in this case determines the positions of several hundred gentlemen similarly circumstanced. EXCHEQUER. BOYLE V. WISEMAN. The facts of this case will be familiar to the realer. It was an action for libel arising out of a letter written by Cardinal Wiseman to L'Universe and L'Aeri de Reli gion, two Paris papers, and afterwards copied into the Catholic Standard. The letter, it was allegs , l, reflected most severely and unjustly upon the character of the plaintiff, who is a Roman Catholic priest ; but at the trial, which took place at the last Croydon afs:zes, it. turned out that the Abbe Conyers, who had charge of the original letter, refused to produce it ; and the Abbe being beyond the jurisdiction of the court, there was no legal authority to compel bins to produce it. It was therefore proposed to put in secondary evidence of the contents and authorship of the letter, but the Lord Chief Baron, who tried the case, refused to receive it. This secondary evidence failing, it was next proposed to call the Cardinal himself ; but this also the Chief Baron refused, upon the recognised rule of law that a man cannot criminate hi►aself. it the trial it was contended that it would be time enough to set up that objection after the Cardinal had been sworn, and an improper question put to him ; but the Chief Baron con tinued resolute in his determination not to let the Cardinal be sworn ; and there being, cense quently, no sufficient evidence of the authorship or contents of the letter, the plaintiff was non-suited. This being the state of matters last term, Mr. James, Q.C., moved for and obtained a rule, calling upoa the defendant to show cause why a new trial should not be bad, on the ground that the Lord Chief Baron was wrong in rejecting the secondary evidence, and not al lowing the Cardinal to be sworn. The rule came on for argument before the full Court on Tuesday, and Mr. Serjeant She*, Mr. Bramwell, Q.C., mei Mr. Badderly were heard at some length against it, while Mr. James, Q.C., and Mr. Lush argued in support of the rule. The Court gave judgment this morning, caking the rule absolute on both points. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings at Guildhall before Mr. Justice Crowder.) CORSILLAS V. TURIBR.-A QUIET-TO•RIDE MIRE. This was an action to recover the sum of 281., paid ley the plaintiff as purchase money for a mare, with whom a warranty had been given. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins And Mr. Robinson were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Gifford for the defendant. The plaintiff in the case is a solicitor, living at Wandsworth, and the defendant an innkeeper and horse dealer at Kingston, and &heat the latter end of October last plaintiff bought of de fendant a mare, which was warranted a quiet-to ride mare, and fit for a lady. As soon as they got it home, plaintiff put it into the hands of his groom, who found that it was very tricky, and given to biting, cross ing the road, and finally, when checked, would come to a dead stand-still, but the moment she turned towards home would return at the speed of an express train. She had also a peculiar distaste to facing a rising ground, and it would appear that her character was well known to nearly all the people in the neighbourhood. As soon as Mrs. Corsellas tried to ride her she experienced the tricks complained of. Mr. Corsellas, who it appeared 'wss not a very experienced horseman, tried the mare, and she bolted with him. He then returned the mare to de fendant, after keeping it three weeks, and de fendant was to get plaintiff another one, but it would seem did not do so for some time, and plaintiff bought another one. The defendant went upon two occasions to plaintiff's upon the mare, when she went through all the bad habits complained of. Ultimately the defendant offered to return 241., but plaintiff refus ing to accede to that, the mare was taken to plaintiff's and there tied up and left. Plaintiff upon that sent it to the pound, aid from there it was sent to Smithfield and sold for 141. For the defence it was shown that the mare was all that was requisite, and that the conduct complained of was occasioned solely by the extreme incapability of the plaintiff and his wife to ride or manage a horse. The case was proceeding when wo went to press, and will occupy the entire day. COURF CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, JAN. 25. The dinner party yesterday included the Duchess of Kent, Lady Fanny Howard, the Hon. Mary Seymou r , the Rev. Frederick Anson, and Captain Mercer ( o ffi cer commanding the V4th Regitnentl.

Arrnoaonibro Msnaiaaa 'Zr 7<3roit I_,PO.—A m a t r i_ nionial :alliance is arranged to take place bete -cell the Earl of Portsrnouth and the Lady Evelyn Herbert, sister to the Earl of Carnarvon. Up to the lit of December the Admiralty had ex pended 0,7:),3/. in the maiutenance of Russian priaoners of war. We believe that Captain Sir Richard Grant will com plete his time of service as flag-captain of the Victory. The departure of the Iberia steamer for the Peninsular ports is delayed from the 27th to the 29th inst. The Me/lite/1r of yesterday publishes the bill adopted by the Legislative Corps for calling out 140,000 men of the class of 1854. THE NEW SCOTTISH JUDGE.—Some rumours being in circulation to the effect that the vacant seat on the bench is likely to be taken by the Lord Advocate, we can state, on sufficient authority, that a e such arrangement is in the least probable.—Scotsman. The merchant ship Duke, belo ng i ng t o Li verpoo l Captain J. Atkinson, with 12,000 b ags of sugar, from Mauritius the 29 th of October, bound for L on d o , was off Plimouth oa Wednesday— a ll well. BURLINGTON-HOII S E.—The first house erected in Pic cadilly was the mansion built by Lord Burlington ' then in the midst of fields and lanes. It is said th a t when the King asked the owner why lie preferred living so far from London, he replied th a t h e w i shed for solitude an d repose, and felt certain that h e h a d f oun d a p l ace where no one could build near hi m. e: The Rev; Henry H.

He was the son of the second baronet, by the daughter of the Right H on , Thomas Harley, grand-daughter of th e third Earl of Oxford. He was born in the year 178 G, and m arr i e d i n 1818, and is sue ceeded by his heir John .August us , b ora i n 1818 . Th e deceased baronet was su his 68th y ear . SHIPBROXERfe AND SHIP AND CUSTOM-HOUSE IGINTS' BENEVOLENT SOCIETY MaFriera.—The second annual general meeting ~ o f this society was he ld yesterday at the Hamburg Coffee-house; W. Phillips, Esq., in the chair. Two more pensioners, J. Woolcombe, aged 67, 30 years ehipbroker, and J. nearlyParish,aged 68, a Custom-hous• agent front 1827 to 1846, at 201. per annum, were unanimously elected. The receipts during the pestyear exceeded the expenditure byll6/.185.5d., after payment of the pensions. .The tot a l amoun t o f s to c k invested in the na me of the so ciety is 1,000/. A resolu tion to admit widows as recepients of the funds of the society was carried. More than 2001. was collected at the close of the proceedings. NOTTINGHAM TISADE.--Lace business exhibits this week a shade of improvement upon last week, but it must be observed that last week was perhaps the dullest of our whole season's dulness. For January, the hosiery trade is also comparatively dull, for business is still sus tained by oce market alone—the home one—and our manufacturers kelieve that they nust await patie n tly the turn of two or three months' eveats before foreign t ransac tions again become active. —Neteinghainshire Guardian. STATE OH TRAM---Business is evidently decreasing week by week, not only in London, but thr oug h out the United Kingdom, and with the failures of th e l as t few days promises to become still worse. The advises from abroad are generally the reverse of favourable. The German posts are now closed by Ice , and the only operators at present in our markets i for m anu f acture d goods are the Greek houses n the Levant trade. Th e advice! from new Tork g i ve no tangible h o p e o f any great improveraent in the import trade. The numerous failures throughout the Union must unquestionably pro duce distrust sooner or lat er, and chec k business. The latest accounts give the names of no le es th an e i ght banking and commercial fi rms which had suspended in the course of three or four days. CHINA. --According to the telegraphic accounts from China yesterday, which . reeeh to the 12 t h of December, there has been a slight rise the rate of exehange, culated to increase the ehipii . sents of silver from this country. By the previous mail the quotation ;:t Canton was 4s. 86,, and it is now 4a. Bkd. ; while at Sh ang h a i it has advaced from 6s. sd. to 6s. qd. The export of tea to date was 44,000,0001 b , and, as the total, which lately showed a deficiency, has thus reached an amount exactly equal to the export up to the corresp on di ng period of last ryear, and no supplies are co m i ng f rom Canton, the shipments from I 00-ci ioNy-foo and Shang hai roust ' have been unexpectedly active. Of silk the export was 26,600 bales, against 28,000 last year, and the stock at Shanghai was in the 1,500 b a l es o f i n ferior quality. Political affairs the south were in a position more critical than ever, and the Canton autho rities had applied officially for assistance to the English and American Consuls, with what result is not stated, although it is to be presu med all Interf erence w ill b o avoided. No produce bad arrived from the interior, and she trade of the port was completely suspended. The long-vexed question as to the p a y ment of the arrears of export duties on tea at Shanghai, claimed by th e Impe rial Government, in the absence of all power on their part to collect them, is stated to nave been settled, as far as the Americans are concerned, by an agreement to . pay up one third. STATE OF AFFAIRS IN CRACOW: A letter from Cracow, 20th, in the Constitution ,cl, says : "On lately returnin g to this city I was surprised at the changes which had taken place in the course of the la,t year in the ancient capital of old Poland. Cra cow has been transformed into a formidable fortre, , s, which in the event of a war between Austria and Rus sia would certainly become the principal centre of military operations. When I speak of military opera tions, I must tell you that I made the journey from War saw by the old road of Radom, the iron mines of Kielic, Michalowitz, and Barun, and that I everywhere mat with nothing but indications of war. The aspect of Warsaw itself is little calculated to give hopes of peace, the Alex ander citadel, the cavalry barracks of Ujasdoff near La sienky, and Micowsky, being quite full of troops. The Sapeiha barracks hare beeu demolished, as well as that of the Sappers. The former and some hundreds of houses with it were sacrificed, in order to gain ground for the establishment of the hornwerk of the citadel and of the two recently constructed towers. Dur ing the last few days there has been a very sharp fret at Warsaw, which has been a great blessing for the inhabitants ; for, since the demolition of the bridge across the 'Vistula, the price of provisions has consider ably increased, and it is to be presumed that a reduction will take place when the river can be crossed over the ico. The hereditary Grand Duke, in his quality of com mander-in-chief of the Guards and Grenadiers, will have under his orders General de Grabbe, who has just been appointed to succeed General de Berg, in the commaxd of the troops of Revel and Esthonia. It is already known at St. Petersbur g that Prussia will, bon grt? realyea, decide en joining Austria as soon as the latter power shall have assumed the offensive ; and it is on this account that, according to general opinion, the for mation of the corps of the Baltic under the orders of General Sievers was decided on." RESIGNATION OF THE " TIMES."-RUIN OF THE NATION. Yesterday the Times formally placed in the hands of the public the resignation of its office of chief advisor. It will no longer be responsible for the national welfare. "We will take no further part in such an affair. We wipe our hands of the war." Its commands are not obeyed, and it retires. Like other prime ministers, on quitting office it gives a last advice to withdraw the troops from the Crimea, break off the alliance with France, let Turkey fight against Austria and Russia, hold out the hand to the Czar, and ask for his mercy and forgiveness. Does the Times, which assumes that its advice has guided the war, hope to escape impeachment by now running away when difficulties come ? Does it hope for honour and reward from the conquerors, by being foremost to counsel submission d Poor public, what will become of you, now you are forsaken by your great leader ? What can you do but follow has advice I Withdraw from the Crimea, allow the Turks and the Russians to settle their own quarrels in their own way, and carry on your trade under the protection of the mighty Czar as you best can. Perhaps you may suspect treachery in the advice previously given—treachery in first having belied our army and under stated our national resources —and then treachery in deserting to the enemy— treachery all through. And if you harbour such a suspicion, you will not regret but rejoice at the resignation of the Times, and regard it as the surest means of preserving your power, saving your honour, and giving the law to the Czar. —Daily News. NEW GENERAL MAP OF EUBOrI. - The Messrs. Blackwood have just issued a General Map of Europe-31 ft. by 41, mo unted—in their usual superior style. The male has been constructed from the best authorities by A. Keith Johnston, F.R.S.E., F.R.G.S., ttre., Geographer to the Queen, and comprises the latest additions and rec tifications, of the accuracy of which Mr. Johnston's same is a sufficient guarantee. Sea aid railway routes, with the distances of the former, are dis tinctly laid down—heights and distances are given in English feet and miles— fortified towns are boldly marked, and the dates of important battles, up to the latest period, are presented in immediate contact with the localities in which they were fought. The map is an exceedingly valuable one, and, in the present complex state of our foreign relations, may be consulted with advantage by all, and is therefore likely to meet, as it deserves, with a large remunerative sale. 5 5. BUMOURS CONCERNING THE .MINISTRY. Yeet:rday was the high festival of Rumour. In the afternoon—some time before Mr. Hayter made an offi • cial annoencement of the fact in the House of Commons - —it had become tolerably well known that Lord John Russell no longer held office in the Cabinet of Lord . Aberdeen. The public expected to hear that Govern • ment had been defeated in an attempt to oppose Mr. Roebuck's notion for a committee of inqniryinto the con duct of the war, and they were obliged to be content, at least for a few hours, with the sacrifice of one Minister. And after all it was neither the Duke of Neweastlenor Mr. Sidney Herbert, but Lord John Russell who had offered himself as the victim to public indignation. Were matters to remain thus the Peelites would be undisturbed in the honours and emoluments of office, and the Whig section of the Cabinet alone would bo made to feel that " Eng land does not like a Coalition." But can the movement stop here Or are we to hear cf fresh resignations ? Is one Minister after the other to flinch from inquiry until Lord Aberdeen is left, in solitary and unenviable grandeur, to look upon the desolation ho has caused ? Or is Lord John Russell the only one who has the honesty to confess that, in almost every respect, the Crimean expedition Las been shamefully mismanaged • that the best thing is to make a clean breast of it, and to give up the task into the hands of men better qua!i fied to meet a great emergency 1 To none of these ques tions can any reliable ansyscr be re'-urned, beyond what will be fund stated in the preceding re ti c le. While waiting till Lord John she tell his own tale in Parlianient, it may be interesting to give, in as few words 23 possible, the passing rumours of yesterday. In some quarters it was believed, early in the forenoon, 1 that the whole Ministry had resolved upon resigning. The ordeal, it was said, was too severe. Do what they would, it was equally impossible to contradict the facts, and to withstand the sarcasm of Mr. Roebuck. The time had gone by for promises and equivocations. The British nation wanted to know what had become of the thousands of brave men who had lately left these shores in the pride of life and strength. From every lip, in every palace and every cottage, the stern inquiry had come. It was a terrible thing to face the organ of a nation, roused beyond endurance by the spectacle of calamities which _might have been avoided. It might be that other men would have been quite -as inexperienced, quite as unprepared for war, quite as unable to over come the enormous difficulties of the crisis. But be that as it might, Ministers could not but know that they at least had failed, and the only possible course was 1 • to resign, _ _ Another rumour soon succeeded—th a t two members only were to be sacrificed. The Duke of Newcastle and Mr. Sidney Herbert were responsible, in the eyes of the public, for the confessed mismanagement of the Crimean expedition. Why should the whole Cabinet suffer for the sirs of two men / Why not fling away tie leaven which went far to corrupt the whole mama ! This was no time to think of private friendship and family coneexions. Public men must rise above such petty considerations. How has that' powerful Coalition Ministry earned nothing but con tempt, inspiring no confidence, declining in reputation, but because two out of the whole number had shown themselves unequal to their task I There could be no doubt about the matter. The sinning members must be cut off. Is other words, the Duke of Newcastle and Mr. Sidney Herbert must resign. At last these rumours evaporated, and the real truth came out that Lord John Russell alene had resigned, and that political oracles had been consulted in vain. But the question remained, how the event came to pass I According to some accounts, the whole proceeding is a con spiracy, got up by Lord J. Russell and Lord Palmerston, for the entire destruction of the Peelites. It was all very well, so long as the Whigs were weak, to coalesce with the followers of Sir Robert Peel, but what was the case now I It was the Peelites who had drawn down upon the Cabinet the indignation of the public, and they must perish in the storm which their own conduct had raised. Besides, the whole force of public opinion pointed in that direction. It was Lord Grey who had pointed out the necessity for a War Minister, and no one was so well fitted as he was to undertake the arduous duties of that post. With Lord John Russell as Premier, Lord Palmerston as leader of the House of Commons, and Lord Grey as War Minister, the whole aspect of affairs would presently be changed. The wand of the magician would wave over the snow-clad steppes of the Crimea, Sebastopol would fall, and the memory of the dread and sorrowful past would quickly fade away. But this was not the only for'n that busy rumour took, Lord John Russell's esoteric reasons for assum ing the position he did were revealed by certain mes meric sages. Suppose, after all, that he saw reasons to doubt the sincerity of Austria, and, in opposition to the other members of the Cabinet, would gladly see an end to the conferences at Vienna. Suppose that the ex- Minister had resolved that he, at least, would be no party to an easy peace, and that his resignation was, in fact, a censure on colleagues too ready to sacrifice the honour of their country— - around the board Thus Lara's Tassels prattled if their lord. But, as already said, all that is really known of Lord as ohn Russell's resignation, and the reason he has ssigned for it, will be found stated in the preceding article. For what he himself may be disposed to tell we must wait till this evening. In the meantime, it seems not uninteresting to chronicle the various shapes that rumour successively assumed in the course of yes ferday—te stamp on the canvas these " Cynthias of the minute"—to eneroe in amber these flies of the order of the ephemerce.—Daily News. TITHE COMMUTATION - SEPTENNIAL AVERAGES. TO THE EDITOR OF TLIR SUN. Sir, —On the 81.11 inst., I communicated to you the result of the septennial averages to Cl,ristwas, 1854, as deduced from the return published in the London Gazettc of the sth inst.:— s. d. Wheat Barley Oats 2 6 Mid that each 100 L of the tithe rent charge for the year 1855 would amount to 891. 15s. Sid. Several communications having Lem addressed to me expressing surprise that the value of the rent charge should have gradually decreased since the year 1849, while the price of wheat has gradually increased during the same period, in order to show that this may be ex plained, I must draw attention to the mode in which the question of tithes was settled in 1836. It was enacted, by the 57th clause of the Tithe Com mutation Act (6 and 7 Wm. IV., c. 71), " that the amount of the rent charge, as awarded or agreed upon, should be divided into three portions, and that every tithe rent charge should be deemed to be of the value of such number of imperial bushels, and decimal parts of an imperial bushel of wheat, barley, and oats, as the - same would have purchased at the average prices for seven years ending Thusday before Christmas-day, 1835, in case one-third part of each rent charge had been invested in the purchase of wheat, one-third part thereof in the purchase of barley, and the remaining one.third part i❑ the purchase of oats." In conformity with the above, we find that 1001. ex pended in wheat, barley, and oats, would purchase the following quantities, at the average prices for seven years to Christmas, 1835, as fixed in the London GaTctte of Dec. 9, 1836 : Per Imp. Bushel. Imp. Bus liels s. i. One-third, or £33 6 Bin wheat, at 7 0 1 4 is equivalent to 94.935489 One-third, or 33 6 Bln barley, at 3 Ili If 168.421052 One third, or 33 68 in oats, at 2 9 f, 242.424242 £lOO 0 0 It is, therefore, clear that the rent charge was not a fixed money payment of 1001., but only such a sum ns the above quantities of wheat, barley, and oath are equi valent to, according to the average priees for seven years to each preceding Christmas. The septennial averages, as published in the London Gazette, may be shown to be correct by the following statement of the annual averages : Wheat per Imp. Qr. Barley per Imp. Qr. Oats per Imp. Qr. a. d. F. d.

Wheat, 69 Q ... Barley, 44 2 Oats, 28 8 On comparing these amounts, which are excluded from the seven years, with those of 1854, which are added, it will be evident that the septennial average must necessarily be less than the preceding year, al though the price of wheat was a little more in 1854 than in 1847. We have seen that the 1001. rent charge was, from the passing of the act, to be represented by a certain number of bushels of wheat, barley, and oats ; there fore, if wo value these numbers of bushels by the septen nial average prices, as fixed in the London ela:ette of the sth inst., we shall find the value of 100/. of tithe rcpt charge for the year 1855 as follows ?-- Per Imp. Bushel. ■. d. 01.955589 bushels of wheat, at 6 Oi .. ... £2B 15 8 168.421052 at 3 7i . 30 14 0 212,424242 . at 2 6 ... 30 6 0 £B9 15 I hope the explanation I have given will enable any one to satisfy himself, at any future time, as to the ac curacy of the valuation of the tithe rent charge, as well as of the septennial average prices of wheat, barley, and oats. It may be of •some use to the owners of tithe rent charge to be aware that, by the 20th section of 3 Vic., c. 15, the half-yearly rent charge which becomes due on the Ist of January, is to be regulated by the averages publised in the month of January in the preceding yea r. not by the ave rages p u bli s h e d a f ew d a y s a ft er the sa i d Ist of January.--I remain, &c., . , CHARLES M, WILLICH, Actuary University Life Office. 25, Suffollostreet, Jan. 2 3 1 180. _ _ THE SICK OF THE HIMALAYA. PORTSMOUTH, WRDAEsDAr NIGHT. At a meeting of the guardians of the poor of the Port. sea Island Union, held in the Poor-house, Kingston, Portsmouth, this evening, at which were present—Mr. Alderman Levy, vice-chairman, president, the following members of the town-council :—Messri. J. A. H. Howell, Hannam, Newlyn, R. F. Jolliffe, Palmer, Daw, Well, White, and Dore ; Messrs. King and T. latched lor, guardians ; and Mr. Devereux, solicitor, clerk to the board, the case of John Williams, the distressed British seaman, landed from the Himalaya on the 3d, and who died in the Poor-house on the evening of the 4th, of alleged exhaustion and neglect both on board and after landing, was re-opened by the chairman, who road the follo w i ng l e tt ers w hi c h h a d b een reoeived since the last meeting of the guardians, held this day fortnight "13, Cannon-row, Westminster, Jan. 12. " Gentlem en ,—l h ave read the report of your pro. ceedings at your meeting on the 10th inst., as given in The Suis of this date, and with !reference to that part of the certificate and declaration of Mr. Bull, the sur• geon of the union, wheroin he states that the seaman Williams died in consequence of 'neglect while on board the Himalaya,' I think it right to forward you a copy of a communication which I have sent to Lord Palmer ston, in the hope that his lordship will do me the justice to take measures to relieve me of the most unjust im• putation ea:A on me.— I am, gentlemen, yours obediently, " JAMES M'CANN, DT. D., "Late Surgeon in charge of Himalaya." "To the Guardians of the Poor of the Portsea Ish4n.l Union." The following is the statement alluded to in the above letter:— "On the arrival of the Himalaya at Spithead, on the 2d inst., one of her 1 1 7njssty's tenders, with a naval cap tain in charge, came alongside- and received the naval invalids, 11 in number, put on board at Malta. By order of Captain Russell, of the Himalaya, I made over the invalids, with their papers, for the purpose, as I be lieve, of being taken to the hospital. The complaint under which the seaman Williams laboured was chronic disease of the liver, accompanied by hceraorrhoid. The man Williams, during the 14 days he was on board the Himalaya, received every attention, professional aid otherwise. He was seen twice a day by me, and Dr. Manifold, medical officer in oharge of military invalids on board the ship, saw him with me. I declare that Williams received every kind of attention, with suitable diet, and six ounces of port wine daily, and that that part of the report of Mr. Bull, surgeon of the Portset Island Union, that Williams died of neglect while en board of the Himalaya' is entirely incorrect." A letter was also read from Mr. W. J. Cooper, the coroner, in which he explained the motives which had induced him to decline to hold the inquest. Mr.Coepes stated that he thought it unnecessary to have an inquiry in the absence of evidence to sustain the shadow of a doubt that the death of Williams had twisen from disease engendered by exposure t o th e mor bifi c influence of climate. " If,, said Mr. Cooper, "I had hold en in. quest on the body of Williams, I must, in consistency. do so on the bodies of all the invalided soldiers of the Himalaya, who may die within my jurisdiction." Mr. Howell said, he was not satisfied with the answer of the coroner, and he had therefore a resolution on the subject to submit. No one could deny that all the officers of the union who had had to do with the case, including the relieving officer, the governor, and the medical officer, had done their duty. He was per fectly sure of this ; the public, however, were not satis fied as to tho way the case stood at present, and a very strong opinion bad been expressed in this borough. Re ferring to the way in which the man Williams had been carried from place to place, And the refusal of the Sailors' Home to receive him, Mr. Howell observed that he should naturally have expected that a committee of gentlemen who managed a sailors' home, would hay. been in waiting at the dockyard to receive and take care of invalids, in place of denying admittance to one who was taken to their very doors. Mr. Howell concluded by moving the following resolution : " That this board having maturely considered the reply of Mr. William Cooper, the coroner of this borough, in reference to his not holding an inquest on the body of John Williams, a seaman, who was landed from the Himalaya, and who, in the recorded opinion of the me dical officer of the board, died from exhaustion and ne glect on his passage in that vessel from the Black Sea ; resolve, that in the opinion of this board the said corn. nor of this borough ought to have held an inquest on the body of the said John Williams, which they regret was not done ' to satisfy the public mind." Mr. DonE seconded the motion. The CIIAIRMAN (Mr. Levy) considered the reso lution a very mild one, and one for which he was quite prepared to vote. He did not, however, agree in all that had been said by Mr. Howell. It was in the dockyard where the first lapse had taken place : the man had conga home in one of her Ma jesty's ships ; the Government thought proper to take charge of the invalid sailors and soldiers, and yet the parties present in heraMajesty's dockyard had left this unfortunate creature without attending to his case ; it was the officials at the dockyard who were to blame more than any other party. Now, was it right, he asked, on the part of the Government officials to suffer John Williams, a shipwrecked sailor, who had come home and landed in her Majesty's dockyard, to lie in the dockyard, so long suffering under piles, because that was the complaint under which he was suffering l The poor fellow had first of all been taken to the Military flospital, and there he was refused admission because he lid not belong to her Majesty's service ; he was then conveyed to the Sailors' Home —a home for sailors with money in their pockets—and bad he had money in his pocket he would have been received ; then he was taken to the local hospital, and there he was refused admission because he bad no order. (Cry of " Shame.") Sir R. F. JOLLIFFE 'regretted that any misunderstand ing should have occurred with the coroner, and was of opinion that it would be proved the man had not been neglected in the Himalaya ; the neglect had been in the dockyard and in the man being hawked about. (Hear.) It was a great shame that a hospital (the local) to which they ail subscribed should have acted as they had done in this case. It was most disgraceful that the man ,hould have been brought to their gates and then turned adrift. (Rear, hear.) _ _ Mr. PALMER defended the medical officer of the union house. He had no doubt that before their medical offi cer had made such a statement as to the man's treatment on board of the Hima'aya he had some foundation for it. (Hear.) Mr. HANNAM said he should vote for Mr. Howell's motion ; the man had been treated most cruelly by t he Government authorities, the gentlemen at the Sailor's Home, at the Military Hospital, and lastly at the Royal Hospital (the local hospital, styled "The Royal Ports reoeth, Portsea, end Gosport Hospital"). The motion was then unanimously agreei Mr. IlowEx.r. then moved— " That a copy of the foregoing resolution be sell to the Secretary of State for the rlome Department, an d also to the town-clerk of this borough, to be by him laid before the town-council." The resolution was egreed to unanimously. The board then discussed what ought to bo done in reference to the letter from the surgeon of the Himalaya. Mr. PALMER moved that a► copy of that letter be for warded to Mr. Bull, the medical officer of the union house, and that he be requested to report to the gua r diane thereon. Ile thought Mr. Bull must have had good grounds for what he had stated in his certificate and that it was but right to give him au opportunity o justifying himself. (Bear.) The motion was unanimously agreed to. THE ORBIT NORTHYRN Pit; 4.4.N0 POULT.RY SNOW. The third annual exhibition of the Great Northern Pig and Poultry Association, open to all England, took place at Doncaster on Wednesday and Thursday (yestd day). The principal features of the poultry department were the game, the Spanish, and the coloured Dorking classes. The game birds were allowed to be the fines t collection of that variety of fowls ever shown. The strongest competition was in the classes of black-breasted. and other reds, of which there were 90 pens against 61. last year. Mr. Mellowes, of Carbaston, near Worksop, obtained the first prize for the birds above oneyear old; Mr. Frith, of Tarne-wood, Anston, the second prize ; Mr. Mellowes the first prize for the chickens of the same er.riety ; and Mr. Chaloner, of Steetly, near 'Work sop, the second prize. It may be remarked that the game fowl is a favcurite breed in North Notts. The classes of Spanish were well filled, and comprised come remarkable specimens. The first and second prizes both for fowls and chickens were obtained by Dr. Pierson, of Burlington-quay. The coloured Dorkings were of fine quality, and produced a smart contest, especially for the chicken prizes, the first of which was carried off by Mr. James Brown, of Rossington-hall, near Don caster, and the second by Mr. Edward Akroyd, Den ton-park, Otley. The first prize for the fowls of the same breed was obtained by Mr. G. Hustler, Appleton, Tadcaster ; and the second by Mr. Joseph Braddock, York. The Shanghai or Cochin-China classes showed a marked falling off in numbers, as compared with the exhibition of last year, and no visible improvement its quality. The first prise for cinnamon and buff variety was won by Mr. Staley, North Colli ng h am , near Newa rk. The first prize for chickens of the tame breed was awarded to Mr. G, Hustler, Appleton, Tadcaster ; and the second to Mr. J. H. Smith, Skelton-grange, York shire. There was an excellent show of all the varieties of Hamburg fowls, which appear fully to maintain their ground in the public estimation. Poland fowls were brought forward in diminished numbers, and, as a fancy breed, evidently do not increase in popularity. There was a pretty good show of pigeons and rabbits. Turkeys, geese, and ducks( were bat scantily represented, owing, most likely, to the lateness of the season. The same remark also applies to the show of pigs, which, how ever, included some splendid specimens of the porcine species. The prize fat pig of a small breed, ex hibited by Mr. Godfrey, of Thor ne , e x c it e d un qualified admiration.
