It is, thereore, no mater of sin prse that he should enjoy the reputation of being a most etexterous and skilful manipu'ator with urethral instruments ; and Mien it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the whole ranee of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of gratification on Mr. 'ourtenay's part to have achieved the reputation he has in this res ;ect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with greater c.,nfidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture of the urethra."—Melical Chen ar.

The impunity and audacity with which the dog stealers have of late incrcased their avocations, to the great annoyance of the owners, and tit , . want of proper constables to ebeck so great an evil, has induced Mr. Bishop to make it known that, as soon as funds can be rained, it is intended by the committee to appoint active officers to carry out the objects of this most useful society.

GENTLEMEN,—It appear] that a few days ago several noblemen and gentlemen hail an interview with Lord Panmure on the subject of having a loomceopathic hospital at Smyrna, which interview has been the cause of creating war to the knife between the gentlemen of the guinea trade. In the " Lancet" of last Saturday, the whole band of homceopatba are denounced as quacks of the vilest die, &c, This is a pleasant prospect certainly for John Bull. Which is he to believe? the horaceopath'c or allopathic doctors ? Lord Grosvenor is to be ousted - from Middlesex, and I don't know what else—so says the " Laneet." Now, I appeal to the country whether it is not most disgusting to see these doctors continually at war with one another ; and all for what? Whc, the guinea trade. These scientific gentle men, as they style theMselves, are all fighting about who shall get the guineas from the pocket of John Bull; but as to caring a rush abut the real truth in medicine, such a thing does not enter their heads ; for surely, otherwise, we should not seethe unseemly articles which they level at one another. lam no friend to homoeopathy, but I hope Lord Grosvenor and the others wiil assert their right on this question, and thus vindicate the medical liberty of the subject, which is a right inherent in every free-born Englishman, and which was SO firmly maintained by the immortal James Morison, the Ilygelit, whose system will yet triumph over all others; for it is emphatically an universal syotem. and one which for ever abolishes all poisons in medicine, and ,therefore the guinea trade. The public must benefit from this spit: amongst doctors. Yours, &c., London, April 9, 1855. A HYGEIST.

(From the Times City Article of this day.) FRIDAY EVENING.—The expected notice from the Chancellor of the Exchequer that for the pur pose of, arranging the preliminaries and fixing the amount of the intended loan, the Premier and he will be ready to see the Governors of the Bank on Monday next at the Treasury, together With any gentlemen who may be desirous of contracting for it, was communicated to the Stock-Exchange this morning, almost immediately after the commence ment of business. Subsequently there were various reports as to the sum contemplated to be raised, ranging from 10,000,0001. to 20,000,0001. The general impres sion was that it will be for about 15,000,0001., and that a very large portion of it. will be in Consols, as the most marketable security. The effect of this announcement upon prices has been a further considerable decline, and Consols are now 2 pet cent. lower than at the beginning of the month. Th." closing ..quotation .last evening was 914, and the first transactions to-day were at 91i to /, whence, upon the receipt of the Govern.- m eet intimation, they dropped to 91±. A slight reaction then took place, and the last official prices were 91i for money, and 911 for the 10th of May. At a later hour there was renewed depression, a large sale for the account having been effected, and the market being extremely sensitive, not only in consequence of the loan, but also from a general feeling that momentous news may now be looked for from the Crimea at any moment. The latest operations were at 90/ to 91 for money, and 91 to for time. Bank Stock left off at 210 to 2114 ; Reduced, 90 ; New Three per Cents., 901 to ; Long Annuities, 3 15-16 ; India Stock, 227 to 230; India Bonds, 11s. to 145.; and Exchequer-bills (June), ss. to Bs.; (March), Is. to 10s. premium. By the public at large the confirmation of the opinion that a loan would be adopted in prefer ence to an increase of taxation has been received with great satisfaction. The principles which ren dered this course desirable were fully stated in the Times of the Ist of January, and nothing has since occurred to weaken the arguments then em ployed. The rule that is indispensable in the con duct of every permanent commercial undertaking, of avoiding all violent perturbations by a system of averages which spreads the cost of bad years over a lengthened term, is alike essential in the ma nagement of the financial affairs of a nation. Inas. much as the existing generation have brought the pressure of the old national debt upon each individual to be less than three-fourths of what it was when it first fell upon them, while in the course of five years from this date further reductions will be in pro • gress, which will operate as if a fresh total of 110,000,0001. had been paid off, it can not be alleged that the title to relief at present has been forfeited by a neglect of duty during the past. Under these circumstances, if the energies of the people had been damped by a determination to heap taxes upon them for every farthing which the exigencies of the time demand, there would have been room to suppose that the Government, while professing that the war must be carried on with vigour until the objects for which it was deli berately undertaken are fulfilled, were really de sirous of preparing for a hollow peace, and the notification of to-day has therefore been received with additional favour from the assurance it con veys that iu that respect there is nothing to be apprehended. (Prows the Daily News of this day.) Government have taken the plunge. The Chan cellor of the Exchequer has intimated to the mem bers of the Stock Exchange, through the medium of the Ruik of England, that the Premier and him self will be ready oii'Monday next to see anygentle men who are desirous of contracting for a loan for the service of the present year ; and that they will then inform them what amount will be required, and will settle the preliminary arrangements. There can be no doubt that in adopting this reso lution Government love met the wishes of the great body of the public. Much, no doubt, will depend upon the terms on which the loan is to be raised ; but . the public feel that industrial enter prise, and commercial operations in general, will be less disturbed by raising a loan than by increasing taxation to such an amount as would render it pos sible to defray the expenditure of the year by the revenue collected within the year. There will be less danger of labourers being thrown out i of em ployment. But th e an nouncement of the intended loan is welcomed for other and higher reasons. It is understood to be t a ntamount to a declaration on the part of Government that they have abandoned —if ever they entertained—all idea of patching up a premature and precarious peace ; .and that they are alive to the importance of carrying on the war with vigour, and on a scale commensurate to the magnitude of the intersts at stake. POLICY OF NAPOLEON 111. (Prom the Daily News of this day.) In the name of the free men of England let it be distinctly understood that the brilliant and cor dial reception, which is preparing for the Emperor and Empress of the French, is meant as an expres sion of the good-will and esteem which the people of England bear to the nation which has accepted these illustrious guests of our Queen as their Sove reigns. We honour the sagacity, firmness, and loyalty which—so far as the public has the means of ascertaining—have characterised the part taken by Napoleon 111. in the Oriental struggle. W e admit the humanity with which he has exercised the absolute power which he has acquired in France. But we should be false to our principles—and to the g reat interests of humanity which we advocate and defend—did we not, on this, as on all suiting occasions, express our deep and enduring regret at his havingsubstituted Autocratic for Parliamentary government in France and at the means he em ployed to do so. Material welfare, the successful cultivation of art, science, and literature, and the ascendancy of the law, are great blessings for a ' nation. But of infinitely more importance than all of them is civil liberty, the only stock upon which they can be permanently engrafted. For the sake of the Emperor himself—endowed as he. is with many admirable qualities —we regret the relation of antagonism in which he has placed him self to the supporters of Parliamentary government. The French nation has attained to that grade of moral and intellectual developement in which a f re e press and popular representative institutions same time the monarchical * become a necessity of existence for a people. No the political circles of Paris—un absolute government Can be permanent in France. the most powerful of France. And party is— if we ewstetliroena, excepty the only family which has a sufficient hold on that public of th r e ir i N n d a establishptooleons. This its elfas a Conviction dynasty i strikes s even the casual visitor, who, standing:, ~ on the Pont regarding -de Jena, turns from regarding- the co l umn o f the Place Vendome and Stat ue which the sur mounts it, to the dome of the Inva il'desch may now be regarded as the sepulch ra l monume nt of Napoleon I. It is confirmed by that as the basis of French ' • Jurisprudence the Code Napoleon has inextricably entwined its ramifica tions with the pursuits of all classe s in France, dranee, an that admission into the Legion of Honour, founded by Napoleon, is the one' great ambition of every Frenchman. The claims of all earlier dynastic families in France have become obselete. When Louis Philippe, in his desire to court popularity, brought back the remains of Napoleon I. from St. Helena, he confessed by th e act that represen tatives of that monarch could alone be the entitled to the character of legitimate Sovereigns in. France. Matters standing thus, there can be no doubt that a patient and loyal adherence on the . part of L Napoleon to the principles of Parliamentary "ls go vernment, after his election to be President of the French Republic, would have enabled him to ob tain for his family an authority analogous to that with which the office of Stadholder invested for centuries the family of Orange i n the United Pro vinces. A constitutional monarchy, in accordance with the social relations and public opinion of France, might thus have been founded esdeve lopedtablish his for and perpetuity , In his over-haste to his family permanently, Napoleon 111. has a s snatched at unconstitutional power and constructed his Go vernment on a less secure —on a tottering and ephemeral basis. It is not easy—especially for foreigners--mto see how he is to extricate himself from the false position he has taken up. But no one who knows France and Frenchmen can doubt that the permanent occupation of the French throne can only be secured to his family by laro con.coes-s sons to the spirit of the age. That these co g lleess'n will require to be made cautiously and gradually may be admitted, but made they must be if the authority of his family is to be rendered secure, and France spared the misery and horror of new revo lutions. It is only by identifying himself with the French people that he can obtain protection for the House of Napoleon from the ill-concealed hosti lity of the old absolute dynasties ; and to identify himself with the French people he must concede to them a real share in the management of their pub lic affairs. Such truths will probably be unpalatable to the Emperor, but they are pressed upon his attention in no unfriendly spirit. The best service that Eng lishmen can render him is frankly, though respect- fully, to express their real sentiments on the sub jeots now adverted to. He will meet with many during his visit who will address him in more honied accents ; but, if success has not blinded him, his own innate sagacity and dear-bought experi ence must have taught him how little courtly flat terers are to be trusted. Many will bow low to him, and affect to be gratified by his notice who hold very different language in their private eon ciliabules. It would edify him could he learn how the prospect of his visit has been canvassed in cer tain exclusive circles—what devices have been re sorted to for the purpose of deterring him from paying it. When he elevated the Empress to a share of his throne—the wisest and most genial step he has taken since he assumed the ptupla—he boldly declared himself a parvenu. The word sticks in the throats of our exclusives, and they are scan dalised at the idea of the parvenu's being invested with the Garter—an act hailed as a proper tribute to the French nation by all free-minded English politicians. On the probable consequences of personal friend ship, as the result of personal intercourse between the sovereigns of France and England, it is not worth while wasting a thought. We all remember the affecting domesticity of the intercourse between Louis Philippe and our Queen, and his paternal effusion towards his young royal friend of Eng land. And we remember that while that grimace was being played off by the late Ulysses of Euro pean Kings, he was stealing a march upon Eng land by the atrocious Spanish marriages, his son was pursuing a policy which had nearly led to a war between France and England. The only entente cordiale that it is worth a farthing is the entente cordiale of the nations. That has increased since the dethronement of the Bourbons, and is likely to go on increasing. It can only be con firmed and augmented by the increased communi cation and extended commercial relations of the two countries. It is independent of the personal feelings of rulers of either from the time being. Muttered apprehensions of danger to our impe rial visitor are heard from some quarters. These exaggerated or affected alarms are utterly un worthy of notice. England is the only asylum in Europe where political exiles of all opinions can find safety. For any one sect or party to attempt to gratify its animosity by offering insult or vio lence to an opponent on this soil would be a crime as atrocious as for him who has taken sanctuary to stab his enemy in the church. The asylum would be desecrated by such a deed anal its privileges destroyed. This is well known to all political re fugees amongst us ; and self-regard, in the absence of higher motives, will suffice to tie up their hands. THE BURIAL OF THE DEAD BEFORE SEBASTOPOL. [ANOTHER ACCOUNT.] MARCH 26.—Early on Saturday morning a flag of truce was sent in by the allies with a proposition to the Russians for an armistice to bury the dead, which were lying in numbers—five or six Russians to every Frenchman and Englishman—in front of the Round Tower and Mamelon, and, after some delay, an answer in the affirmative was returned, and it was arranged that two hours should be granted for collecting and carrying away the dead on both sides. The news spread through the camps, and the races which the Chasseurs d'Afrique had got up in excellent style were much shorn of their attractions by the opportunity afforded to us of meeting our enemies on neutral ground. All the ravines leading to the front trenches were crowded with officers hastening on horse and foot down to the scene of so much hard fighting. The crests of the hills and the slopes in front of the batteries were covered with men, and they dotted the deadly interval between the bat teries, which had been before occupied alone by thousands of tons of shot and fragments of shell discharged by French and English and Russians during this protracted siege. The day was beau tifully bright and warm. White flags waved gently in the faint spring breeze above the embrasures of our batteries, and from the Round Tower and Mamelon. Not a soul had been visible in front of the lines an instant before the emblems of peace were run up to the flagstaffs, and a sullen gun from the Mamelon and a burst of smoke from Gordon's batteries had but a short time previously heralded the armistice. The instant the flags were hoisted friend and foe swarmed out of the embrasures. The Riflemen of the allies and of the enemy rose from their lairs in the rifle pits, and sauntered towards each other to behold their grim handiwork, The whole of the space between the Russian lines and our own was filled with groups of unarmed soldiery. Passing down by th Middle Picket Ravine, which is now occupied by .the French, and which runs down in front of the Light Division camp, I came out upon the advanced French trench, within a few hundred yards of the Mamelon. The sight was strange be yond description. French, English, and Russian officers were walking about saluting each other courteously as they passed, and occasionally enter ing into conversation, and a constant interchange of little civilities, such as offering and receiving cigar lights, were going on in each little group. Some of the Russian officers were evidently men of high rank and breeding. Their polished manners con trasted remarkably with their plain, and rather coarse clothing. They wore, with few exceptions, the invariable long gray coat over their uniforms. The French officers were all cn grande tenue, and offered a striking contrast to many of our own offi cers, who were dressed d la Balaklava, and wore uncouth peaddresses, catskin coats, and nonde script paletots. Many of the Russians looked remarkably like English gentlemen in " style" of face and bearing. One tall, fine-looking old man, with a long gray beard and strangely shaped cap, was pointed out to us as Hetman of the Cos sacks in the Crimea, hut it did not appear as if there were many men of very high military rank present. The Russians were rather grave and re served, but they seemed to fraternise with the French better than with ourselves, .and the men certainly got . on better with our allies than,with the few privates of our own regiments who were down towards the front. But while all this civility was going on we were walking among the dead, over blood-stained ground, covered with evidences of recent fight. Broken muskets, bayonets, cartouch boxes, caps, fragments of clothing, straps and belts, pieces of shell, little pools of clotted blood, shot— round and grape—shattered gabions and sandbags, were visible around us on every side, and through the midst of the crowd stalked a solemn procession of soldiers bearing their departed comrades to their long home. I counted 77 litters borne past me in 15 minutes—each filled with a dead enemy. The contortions of the slain were horrible, and recalled the memories of the fields of Alma and Inkermau. Some few French were lying far in advance towards the Mamelon and Rouid Tower among the gabions belonging to the French advanced trenches, which the Russians had broken down. They had evidently been slain in pursuit of the enemy. The Russians appeared to treat their dead with great respect. The soldiers I saw were white-faced and seamed ill-fed, though many of them had powerful frames, square shoulders, and broad chests. All their dead who fell within and near our lines were stripped of boots and stockings. The cleanliness of their feet, and, in most cases, of their coarse linen shirts was , remarkable. Several sailors of the " equipages' of the fleet of Sebastopol were killed in the attack. They were generally muscular, fine, stout fellows aea , ‘ with rough, soldierly faces. 11'3 Russianscr to off all the dead which lay outside our lines the town, passing down betweenthe Mamelon of all this and the Round Tower. In the mids t an mo n whicht ot stern ,evidence of war a certain conversation began to sprin . g up, tl badinage. Some o f fhelißvuelsy sian officers indulged in a lit he % we wer e coining in them asked our officers w ,, w h en we thought of o th e rs to take the place , " a aood look at going away•" . of ? S o me congratulated gettingus upon the exc had of view, except lent opportunity Sebastopol, as the One was not in their opinion wechance of a nearer on officer similar occasi _ asked a private very probable.. lish how man Engy i n to the trenches ? men we sent eonfidentiallY in " Begorra, only 7,0Q0 a night d a wake covering party of 10,000" was the ready a r , 3 ll ;iy. The officer laughed and turned away. At one time a Russian with a litter stopped by a dead body, and put it into the litter. He looked round for a comrade to help him. A Zouave at once ad vanced with much grace and lifted it, to the infinite 1 amusement of the bystanders, but the joke was not long-lived, as a Russian brusquely came up and helped to carry off his dead comrade. In the town we could see large bodies of soldiery in the streets, assembled at the corners and in the public places. Probably they were ordered out to make a show of their strength. The Russians denied that Prince Menschikoff was dead, but they admitted that Ad miral Isturmin was killed. He was one of the principal officers engaged in the destruction of the Turkish fleet at Sinope, and the Czar had rewarded him by giving him an order of St. George of higher distinction than that worn by Prince Menschikoff, and of a class which is generally accorded only to successful generals who have conducted an at my and closed a triumphant campaign. A distin guished-looking man, who complained that he was likely to b e d e p r i ve d o f hi s cru i se i n hi s y ac ht this year by the war, was pointed out to us as Pr nce Banatinski. - Owing to some misunderstand ng, a little fusillade 'began among the riflemen on the left during the armistice, and distured our atten 'on for a moment, but it was soon terminated. Gen ral Bosquet and several officers of rank of the allied a iy visited the trenches during the armistice, and aff officers were present on both sides to see that men did not go out of bounds. The armistice over about 3 o'clock. Scarcely had the white j disappeared behind the parapet of the Mame before a round shot from the sailors battery wi slap through ore of the embrasures of the Rua work, and dashea up a great pillar of earth insi The Russians at once replied, and the noise of can! soon re-echoed through the ravines. It was cun to observe the masses of shot and shell in Le. ,on >us ravines which had been fired by the enemy at our men on their way to and from the trenches. It was impossible for them to see us, but they poured their shot and shell right . into the path from the Round Tower, the Mamelon, and the ships. Five dead Russians and two dead Zouaves were lying far in rear of our lines, in the middle picket ravine. Every look at the rifle pits satisfies me that the Russians mean them as rudiments of advanced works against us, and that they are likely to prove very troublesome. The Mamelon is a serious ingre dient in calculating the chances of an assault. The work on the east of it is also very dangerous. The Russians have already begtin to arm them with heavy guns, and their fire will prove, I fear, extremely harassing. If these points' could have been occu pied our engineers, no doubt, would have seen the importance of their possession to us ; but the fact is I believe, that the engineers complain they cannot get enough of hands for the essential work of the attacks we actually possess. In addition to the trench which the Russians have made to connect their pits with each other, they have thrown up three trenches at right angles, which would enable them to enfilade any party attacking the Mamelon, but those trenches are of course enfiladed by the French approach at right angles to it. They will very speedily be able to disturb our works from the redoubt over Careening Bay. It is thought that the silence of their guns may be accounted for with great probability, without supposing they are short of ammunition. It is very likely they are engagel in making a line of defences in rear of their present works. Our new batteries are completed. The armament will be hi them in a short time from the date of this letter. OSS OF HER MAJESTY'S SHIP TIGER. COURT-MARTIAL. Several witnesses were examined before the court martial after our report was despatched from Portsmouth on Thursday, but their evidence did not disclose any ma terial fact. At half-past six o'clock the Court adjourned until Friday. SECOND DAY. Mr. Wilkinson, recalled.—To the bast of my belief the master was within hearing when I reported eight fathoms. lam not aware that the master remonstrated with the captain respecting the way in which the ship was conducted during the 24 hours previous to the wreck, nor am I aware that he did so with the first lieutenant. I did not hear Baker report the land, nor yet the look-out. I am not aware that land was reported before I took the watch. The captain did not tell me to acquaint the master that the ship was to go on when in eight fathoms, and that the course was to be altered when at 51 fathoms. After the ship was on shore the sails were not used to get her off, as there was no wind. President—Could the ship have been abandoned, and the people rescued in the boats, instead of being given up to the enemy, with due regard to the men wounded ? Witness—Not after the enemy opened fire. President—Why was the pinnace not hoisted out ? Witness—l don't know. There was nothing to m y knowledge to prevent her being hoisted out ; she wits perfectly ready to be hoisted out at any time. By the Court—How long time elapsed between the time Captain Giffard was wounded and the surrender of the ship ? Witness—When he was carried down below he ordered the flag to be struck. I heard it myself. The flag was to he struck, and the Russian colours hoisted. Captain Giffard was carried down immediately after he was wounded. He did not consult with the first lieutenant as to the surrender of the ship that I am aware of. None of the officers or men objected to the surrender of the ship, to my knowledge. By the Court—What measures were taken to let the other ships in company know after the ship was on shore ? Witness—By firing 24 , ponnders at intervals, and musketry occasionally. I heard the gun-signal answered. Just as I had reached the top of the bill to the left of the Russian battery I saw for the first time the Vesu vius. The infantry and cavalry of the Russians were about 150 yards in the rear. I think any attempt to get the ship off would have been useless. The cliff completely commanded our deck. Ido not think the ship was on fire when we struck. §he was, burnt and blown up atter we left her, either by our own ships or the enemy. There were no men wounded by musketry. By Lieutenant Royer —What were :Ala usual arrange. ments respecting the boats of the Tiger ? Witness-Ihey were always ready to be got out at any . time. Lieutenant Royer—On the morning of the 12th was there any obstacle to get the pinnace out ? Witness.—The second gig was in the pinnace, and the ship's campany were employed other ways. By Mr. Edingtos—Do you recollect any conversa tion to have taken place with Lieutenant Royer or your self with regard to the captain having ordered mo to go into five fathoms' water ? Witness—l had no conversation with you on the sub ject, and Lieutenant Royer was on the quarterdeck white I was on the bridge. Lieutenant Hamilton was recalled, and his evidence of yesterday partially read over. President—Describe what was done to get the ship off. Witness—When I went on deck I went forward to the forecastle,' and thcrla id was riot seen for feu - r or five Minutes. When the fog cleared away sufficiently we oould see a high cliff flow 100 to 150 yards off. The captain then ordered the musketry to fire, and a howitzer signal to be fired. I heard a -report on the quarter and on the how, from a ship apparently close to us, and reported it to the captain: The hands were then turned up, and ordered to get out the paddle-box boats. The port paddle-box beat was got under the port bow, to take the small bower anchor out, and the sheet cable was put into the other. When the anchor was laid out, I afterwards came on deck and atten,led to the capstan. We hove, and reversed the engines at the same time. The engines had been reversed when we were getting the boats out. The ship slowed about two points, and I thought she was coming off, and encouraged the men, when Captain Giffard whispered to me that the anchor was coming home, and to tell the men to heave steadily. A Cossack passing fired his musket at 113, and the captain ordered the hammocks to be got up, and put at the forecastle. Parties ware sent to different parts of the ship to get coals and bal last out, and heave the main deck guns overboard. The starboard bow anchor was placed in the paddle-box boat, the sheet anchor was thrown tc,., n iif overboard. fr,N;o: rajd,tre: ipnreaini ui td,:e l , Nrheivie was ilsee sent e t n Inl t s ( oew l (). went n to the main deck to get the starboari gun overt e _ e d While getting it overboard the enemy bulled u re s e ; time the came on the main deck, and at nearly the 1_ fire-bellstarboard asked sf okarefd(ttel r 3.Captain to the port side to see where t t h h e e f 'shot bad a_pparently light through the ship, and e ioyrer or R Royer s rpe e d n ,e t vea m ,c. : s IdidwF lib Neatyb e. gone in the lining without cot he 's s tore-room, .nt a l. f t t: e l r f e o w un as d s g t a , ,c 1 whichs'n some rel clear ha n m , lg . n t s a h m se e in llreported t paddle-box of tfi b o ro etunderCaptain boats. . ballast T to atwndo fore most ‘vas the led being carried aft, throwi ngt o oa u i tth. captain . ew .

Giffard gave Lieut. Royer orders to strike the colours, and he did not make any objec tion to my knowledge. When the ship surrendered we could see only about throe or four cables' length off. It was about 20 minutes after the enemy commenced firing that the ship struck. By Lieutenant Royer—When you received orders from Captain Giffard to clear the boat, how long was it before he was struck down ? i `'Fitness—N ot Leutenantitoy a e b r_ ll ovet o w w o l o o r ng th w re o e u r d it i l t utes. clear the boats ? have taken to Witness—We could not have got the bower anchor out of the boat at that time without purchase. Mr. Delany, boatswain, sworn—l think every effort was made to get the ship off. Everything was done that could be done. I consider the best defence was made to • prevent her falling into the hands of the enemy. Lieutenant Royer—Were you employed in shackling the hemp cable to the port bow anchor, under the port bow, and did the boat get adrift ? Witness—Yes. Lieutenant Royer—What caused the difficulty of your getting back ? t• and the Lieutenant Royer—What caused the boat to go adrift? an W cho it r n h es a s n — gi N ti V iz e ou h t ad ma fe d w e it ha h n e d ay s y i . n the bdo, Witness—Slewing her ; and the current took her away from the ship. I have been at sea 25 years. In my opinion the force of the current was 34 to 4. The inner jib was not loosened ant hoisted on the morning of the 12th of May when we were employed getting the anchor out. I got a coil of new rope up, to get a pur chase to hoist the guns out ; I also got two blocks. The tackle was got up to get the pinnace out. I believe the ship was set on fire. My station was where the fire rose, in the carpenter's storeroom, on the starboard side. I did my best to put the fire out, but it was not put out. It was, however, kept down. The fire was about two feet from the magazine bulk-head. I did not hear or know of any one reporting the land during my watch. gad it been re p or t e d I think ' I should have heard it. During the wh o l e ti me I was on deck the weather was very foggy, John Quin, sworn—l was gunner of the Tiger the time s a h f t e e 17sahse w;aseckwtekeldc.am l e co o n n si d d e e c r k ev about in g 1 O w as mines d u o t that ought to have been done to get her on. I also con sider a proper resistanc e was made to prevent her falling into the hands of the enemy, after the guns being dis placed as they were. The fore pivot nun could have been brought to bear on the enemy, but it had to be run aft to lighten the ship forward. John Smith, recalled—l was on deck at the time the wreck took place. I have been 25 years at sea. As far as I know, everything was done that could be done to get the ship off after she struck. The best was done to prevent her falling into the hands of the enemy. I did not hear the land reported, but heard the leadsman re port 10 fathoms when the ship was stopped. If the land had been reported I would have heard it. The weather was very thick and foggy. Richard Mallet, recalled—l was captain of the main. top watch on the morning of the wreck. The best was done to get the ship off and to prevent her falling into the hands of the enemy. Mr. Doraville, surgeon, sworn—Captain Gifford was not on the sick list at the time of the wreck. He had an attack of ague two days before the ship went on shore, but on the day previous he was in his usual health. His usual health was indifferent. Mr. W. J. Olive, sworn—l have served about two years in the Black Sea as master of her Majesty's ship Bellerophon. I left the Black Sea last December. My expe7ience between Odessa and Sebastopol is only one short voyage, and the currents I observed were from the north-north-east. They were about a knot in strength off 0 le:sa. In making a pas age from Sebastopol it would depend on the wind what currents I would allow for. I should not expect a current until near Odessa, and then I should not expect one of about three quarters of a knot an hour. Ey Mr. Edington—Was it at the full of the moon when you inaeo your obsE-rvation respecting the strength of the current, or the middle quarter ? Witness- I cannot say. Thy President--The evidence for the prosecution is no v closed. LiLuten - .nt Boyer—l do not think I can have my defence prepared before to-morrow, and should like if the court wou!d grant me till then to prepare it. The court was then cleared, and on its being rc op 'ned, Tde President, addressing Lieut. Royer and Mr. Edington, said, the court has taken into consideration your request, and agreed to grant it. Lieut. Royer and Mr. Edington requested leave to go on shore, which was granted. The court then adjourned till to-morrow (this) morn ing. PEACE AND WAR MEETING AT NEW CASTLE-ON-TYNE. On Thursday evening a densely crowded meeting was held in the Lecture-room, Newcastle, it having been an nounced that Mr. George Thompson would give a lecture on the causes and objects of the war. Several " friends" of both sexes, and other members of the Peace Society were present. The chair was taken by Alderman Dodds. Mr. Thompson addressed the meeting at great length. He viewed the history of the Mahomedan rule in Turkey, as well as the occurrences of the last few years, and challenged any one to show from the blue books a single line either in the secret or other cor respondence, in support of the assumption that Russia required from Turkey anything beyond what was ac knowledged as due by existing treaties. Russia,- he said, had shown a spirit of great moderation, and was at the present time disposed to treat on terms which the Allies would do well to accept. Mr. Jos. COWAN, jun., in reply to Mr. Thompeon, said, that while admitting that the blue books did not contain a single line inconsistent with the strongest pro fessions of moderation, the words of Russia must be in terpreted by her acts, and these had been of the most ag gressive character. (Hear, hear.) He concluded" by moving, " That this meeting, having listened to Mr. George Thompson's lecture on the right and wrong of the war, cannot adopt his conclusions ; that, while re probating the 'mismanagement which hm disgraced the war, from its commencement to the present time, this meeting considers it right to resist wrong, regards the war as just and necessary, repudiates the negotiations of Vienna, and demands that the integrity of the Turkish empire be left untrammelled by any protectorate ; and that measures .be insisted upan for restoring the inde pendence of Poland." Mr. JULIAN HARNEY seconded the motion. Mr. GEORGE CHARLTON moved, as an amendment, "That this meeting, deprecating the evils of war, and deploring the dreadful sacrifice of human life attending the prosecution of the present war, would express its earnest hope that the negotiations of Vienna would load to the conclusion of an honourable,and permanent peace." _ - _ - The amendment basing been seconded was put to the vote, and negatived by a considerable majority. The original motion was then adopted, after which thanks wera voted to Mr. Thompson for bis lecture, and a simi lar compliment having been paid to the chairman, the meeting separated. THE NEW GOVEUNMENT LOAN. (From the Times of this day.). The notification of the Chancellor of the Exche quer, which was conveyedyesterday morning by the Governor of the Bank of England to the knowledge of the public, can hardly be said to have taken any one by surprise. The necessity of a loan to meet the large and increasing demands of the war has for some time past been all but universally admitted. We have no longer to deal with the arguments of those short-sighted financiers who flattered them selves that a contest of this magnitude could be supported by a temporary addition to the taxation of the country ; awl it only remained to be seen at what moment the operation would be com menced, and in what form it will be concluded. Sir Cornewall Lewis appears to have decided that it is desirable the announcement of the terms and amount of the loan should precede the Budget, which stands for the ensuing week ; and accord ingly Monday next, being the first day of the resumption of business after the Parliamentary recess, has been fixed by the First Lord of the Treasury and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for the preliminary communications to those persons who may be desirous of contracting for a loan for the service of the present year. The very large amount of bids on the Treasury, drawn from abroad by the Commissariat and other departments engaged in the conduct of the war, require daily awl imme diate payment, and it is absolutely necessary to provide without any delay funds to meet these ex traordinary demands. We cannot at present pre tend to form any correct estimate of the extent of the liabilities already incurred by the Government in the course of these operations, nor is it easy for the Treasury itself to ascertain the amount of an expenditure which arises, as it were, pro re nata, and admits of no control but that of the necessities of war. But the lowest computation we should be disposed to adopt of the extraordinary expenses of the year, in addition to the increased revenue raised by the existing taxes, is 20 millions, and we are by no means satisfied that the real amount of the defi ciency will not be found to be even greater. This sum must therefore be raised, partly by a loan and partly by increased taxation. Modern science has lent great additional facilities to the prosecution of war ; our fleets are propelled by machinery and coal furnaces ; our projectiles are elaborate pieces of mechanism worth 51. or 6/. a-piece ; we have a railway within our lines, and a transport service of vessels costing millions per annum lying off the coast ; for, although the object we desired to ob tain has frequently escaped us, our expenditure has been profuse, unbounded, and indiscriminate. But war, carried on with these means, becomes in finitely more costly than it ever was before, and our only hope is that the increase of the outlay while it lasts will be compensated by such success as to abridge its duration. The country will form its estimate of these sacrifices, not by their nregni tude, but by their results. Heavy taxation may be cheerfully borne, permanent financial burdens may be accepted, and even voluntary contributions will still attest the patriotic spirit of the nation ; but while the people of England have not been slow to perform their part in this enterprise, and to give without a murmur their treasure and their blood for the cause they have espoused, they undoubtedly have a right to demand of the Ministers of the Crown that this expenditure should be wisely made, and that the operations of the war should be conducted with that union of vigour and prudence, of intelligence and of strength, which can alone crown our efforts with success. We await with some anxiety the announcement of the conditions on which the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposes to offer this loan to public competition. The notification already published calls upon " the gentlemen who may be desirous of contracting for a loan" to attend at the Treasury on Monday next ; whence it may be clearly infer red that the proposals are to be made in the usual form of contracts for loans established by usage in this country. This point would scarcely be worth notice if it were not for the signal success which has attended the experiment of loans opened by national subscription both in France i and in Aus tria. The inducement to speculate n a loan con sists, of course, in the hope that a portion of the public securities of the nation may be purchased rather below their marketable value. But i f this be the case, the gain of the individual is the loss of the State, and it would seem more j ust that th i s difference, whatever it may be, should not contri bute solely to increase the millions of some bloated capitalist. Nothing would be easier in this coun try than to raise any sum by subscriptions limited to a comparatively small amount at a price not perceptibly differing from the 'market value of the public funds. To give a loan the preference over the existing stocks it must either confer upon the holders some slight advantage which they do not possess, or it must be sold at a rather lower price. Mr. Gladstone showed in one of his late financial speeches that the mere condition of rendering a particular stock irredeemable for a certain number of years gave it a preference in the market which may be estimated at from 1 to 2 percent., and this at no expense whatever to the country. As, however, the Chancellor of the Exchequer is about to make his' first step in what may un happily prove to be a long series of financial operations of this nature, the principle we should be glad to ste him adopt is of a different character. It is just that we should seek to throw off, in part, the burden of a year of war upon future years, and even on the next generation ; but forty years of peace have demonstrated how little can be done, even under the most prosperous circumstances, for the actual reduction of the national debt. The country may be enriched, the revenue thrives, the nation claims to share in the blessings of pro sperity; and the surplus revenue, which might have been devoted to the reduction of our perma nent burdens, is appropriated to the diminu tion of those annual taxes which press most heavily upon. us. England has done little to lessen the mountain of her debt thrown up by the last war ; but she has succeeded in ridding herself of a large mass of taxation, far more oppressive to the industry of the country. But, if we cannot hope to shake off the load of debt we already carry, it is by no means clear that we are justified in adding to it upon the same con ditions. It is a familiar proposition to actuaries that a very small difference can be established in the marketable value of a security for a long term or for ever. In other words, the Chancellor of the Exchequer may sell the credit of the State for a period of 100, or 80, or 60 years at a price not materially lower than that which can be obtained for an indefinite liability ; and in dealing with the affairs of a nation, the interests of which are not to be measured by the span of human life, there is an obvious advantage, and we think a political duty, in making arrange ments of this nature with a view to the future, by borrowing money under the form of terminable annuities, rather than by increasing the consoli dated debt. Had. Mr. Pitt and his successors contracted their loans from 1794 to 1814 in part, at least, in the form of terminable annuities we should now be able to look forward to the extinc tion of some considerable part of the debt ; whereas the Long Annuities which expire in 1860 are the only portion of the public stocks from which we the ea capi t al canpiatda v l h contract, a b nv t r e shall be relieved by this just and natural process. ar andgfoowe rl e vt d hibti b ec becomes affords e o md m ou e re s e- Under the system 'of terminable annuities the gradual felgyor r ima e e Ipodaereylaebml element ee n ne r epayment ohfi security t ys h ti wh e s wa act upontrust that th i s the principle Chance l lor a fa c; f a t s h e t h; Exchequer present a t t l i n i o e n in o o n t s than compensates the.slight augmentation of price • aw s n t i a dll te o the market will enable him to do so.
