We are quite aware that there is ample pre cedent for the grant. But we live in a reforming age, and. we are not contented_ servilely to follow " vicious precedents " - merely bicause it is the , ordinary routine. We wish to act in accordance with justice rather than feeling. We deeply sym pathise with the bereaved family, but there are others of less exalted rank, whose sufferings have been as acute, and grievous losses comparatively as serious as that of the noble mourners. Their ittle worlds are also rendered desolate, but the pangs are not less intense because not endured beneath a coronet. As we have already stated, we cordially concur in the pension to Lady RAGLAN, and should no t have objected had it been even more liberal. Any comment that we may make di rected against her Ladyship, butintendedthisereo thereon i is n r o a t t rather to show that others should be as fai rl y dealt with. In her case there is no deg radin g sti p ulation against subsequent nuptials—no clause that if she should contract a second marriage she shall forfeit the provision made by a grateful country ! whose fortunes have been ab- But young widows, sorbed in pwrchasing promotion for their dearly loved husbands, are not thus treated; and should they again form matrimonial alliances their names are erased from the pension list. They must thus live on, in compulsory celibacy, a species of " /ay nuns," such as might gladden the hearts of the Bishop of EXETER or the Puseyite members of the Anglican Church, but not con sidered quite so laudable by those who deem mar riage an honourable institution, from which none should permanently he excluded. If, however, Lord PANMURE should be allowed to carry out his crotchet, and to convert the army into a species of military priesthood, there will not be much use for controversy respecting the mode of granting widow's pensions —for of course the rule rigidly applied to private soldiers must speedily be extended to officers—and red coats will no longer have charms in the eyes of the fair sex, when it is well known that the wearers must necessarily continue bachelors. In like manner we do not object to the grant to RICHARD HENRY Lord RAGLAN, although it may demand greater consideration. The Noble Lord is now in the prime of life. He is engaged in the diplomatic service of his country—and there he may receive lucrative appointments that would enable him to support the rank to which he is entitled in right of his deceased father. But the sons of all other officers lose their claim as soon as they attain the age of 21 years. It is considered that they should not traffic on the fame of their progenitors, but should seek fortune by their own exertions. But everything is different to the fortunate inheritor of a Peerage. He can_ not be bound by such vulgar rules, but must have a special arrangement on his own account. We can, however, see no justification for the grant to the heir male of the present Lord RAG LAN. The time has gone by when aristocratic paupers could be permanently saddled on the country. We have now no perpetual pen sions, and we think that it is time to abolish the bad practice of 'grants for two or three generations. If a person holding a lucrative public situation died without making provi sion for his family we should hear enough of his imprudence, dr,c.; but in the case of a noble man who has from the very beginning to the end tf his career hold lucrative appointments, we are told that it wzs "the disinterestedness of his char acter that occasioned the failure ;" and the public are, in consequence of what may be termed by persons fond of calling things by their right names, " the lack of prudence of Lord RAGLAN," to make a handsome provision for a child unborn. We do not think this course by any means calculated to make the gulf between the patricians and ple beians less impassable than heretofore. But we need not compare the grants now about to be conferred with that of inferior officers, how- We may ask, What was uho cionquerur 01 1 el.dc-1 Vrnizt, recognition was there of the inestimable services of the Hero of Meeanee and Hyderabad ? The widow of Sir CHARLES NArreit received nothing. His heirs male were unthought of by the liberal Parliament of Great Britain ! And yet we fancy that the most ardent admirer of the late Lord RAGLAN will not venture to compare the military services of that Gallant Commander to those of him second only to the iron Duke—the man unani mously called from his retirement by the popular voice in what was supposed to be the hour of trial and peril. We do not, as we have stated, object to some portions of the present grant, although we must say that it contrasts strangely with the indifference and neglect exhibited to wards the family of the late General Sir CHARLES JAMES NAPIRR, the consolidater and defender of 'he Anglo-Indian Empire. ever meritorious. It is rather a curious coincidence that the Legislature has just been strangely at cross pur poses in its Sunday law-making. The Upper House, instigated by the Bishops, has, in all pro bability, succeeded in keeping down free preaching on the Sunday. The Freedom of Worship Bill is interred in the grave of a select committee. For one year fines and imprisonments await the Churchman who ventures to expound the Word of Gon to more than twenty persons beyond his Own family in his own house. The people must not be attracted by any zealous, hearty, plain 'speaking neighbour, who can tell them, not in the dialect of Cam or Isis, but in their own tongue, the :wonderful works of GOD.. But though not lawful to -attract, it was to be lawful to coerce. The people's rouse, obedient to aLord, have been on the verge shutting them out of every ; place. but the thinking ro - inking they must then attend public : 11 b To do th e H ouse o f CO mmons j ust i ce, i they thoUght th e repeal of the disgraceful statute referred to se notoriously demanded by the comuloa !one of the times that they consented without a single objection ; a degree of to it iberality 80. that_ . .theY he.Yona... conception of the.

' Coercion, veiled as a holiday-maker,. was too easily detected. Lord GROSVENOR fled into the country, and returned to withdraw his Bill. There are, we fear, scores of honourable and noble legislators who have not yet learned the alphabet of religious liberty, or rather we might say the alphabet of religion itself. What can b e more rudimental or more plain to all unperverted !binds than that human laws might only to deal Ili% sins against man ? Of course a sin against °ll t.fellow_ ma n is also a sin against his MAKER ; but `ti • is not f o r that reason that we are autho rised td,visit, the offence with our p h y sical punish manta, Nv e til Piluish theft, not because it is for bidden by society but because .tetx or the two command ments, coexist. wo a and. tolerated theft coul d not Atheis m or s not, °' l the other hand, punish cepti t i s oongidered, they wrong a') because, in themselves in s they may be t o nc : .

Suppose it were a sin for poor people to buy and sell their Sunday necessaries on Sunday morning, the sin is exclusively against GOD, not against man. Sup pose it to be a very wicked thing to preach or pray with more than twenty of your neighbours, it is surely no one against man. It is a purely ecclesiastical sin, and hurts no man as a member of society. Let the religious bodies to which the supposed delinquents belong punish them if they like with all the excommunications and anathemas which the sins of Sunday selling, and Sunday preaching to more than twenty deserve ; but, in the name of all common sense, let civil penalties have nothing to do with the matter. The time is gone by for delivering over heretics to the " secular arm " for the good of their souls. And really, the Act which Bishops seek to preserve, and the bill which Lord GROSVENOR tried to pass are but remnants of the old style of conversion and persecution. Impatient Churchmen cannot abide the results of teaching an d persuasion; and proud Church men cannot bear their spiritual rule to be invaded by the " unauthorised." Free Trade is, however, bezoming the universal principle in every depart ment. It is seen that protection, and bounties, and penalties to defend the favoured, are as adverse to religious as to commercial success. Lord STANLEY is surely rather a statesman with his eyes open to the signs of the times than a mere political prophet, when he affirms that all things are tending to Voluntaryism ; that is, to complete Free Trade in Religion. Nothing will help forward that consummation more rapidly thanfresh legislative coercion in religious matters. A new French Loan of 750,000,000 francs, or 30,000,0001. sterling, is about to be contracted. That it will be readily obtained is beyond the possibility of doubt. The brave and high-minded people of France, who but a few months since freely tendered their chosen ruler 1,700,000,000 francs, or 08,000,000/. sterling more than he then required, will not now hang back or betray the confidence reposed in their patriotism and libe rality. The EMPEROR has happily shaken off the intolerable incubus of " red-tapist financialism." He requires no middlemen to interfere between him and his people, and extract enormous profits out of the pockets of both parties. He has estab lished a precedent for himself which has met with unexampled success, and, of course, he will not now abandon it, to return into the beaten course. Nor is this the only pecuniary sacrifice which France is required to make, and which she will doubtless freely and willingly offer at the shrines of her military honour and her rights as a great nation, and as the champicn of right against might, the chivalric defender of the injured party against a powerful and unscrupulous aggressor. She will also increase the tax on railways ; which, in place of 10 per cent. on their gross receipts, will henceforward be called on to contribute 20 per cent. The additional impost will not, how ever, fall on the Companies. The amount will be added to the fares, so that every traveller will directly contribute to the expenses of the War and the maintenance of the glory of France. All the indirect imposts, with the exception of those on tobacco and salt, are also to be increased 10 per cent., and it is said that there will be some thing very analogous to a property tax. In these extraordinary efforts the EMPEROR affords new proofs of the sincerity of his deter mination to bring the War to a speedy conclusion, by conquering an honourable and enduring peace. His eagle glance clearly perceives the futility of petty efforts, the folly of the "penny-wise-and-pound-foolish po licy." Every shilling now saved on the GLAD STONE principle of " starving the War" and send ' ing out forces sufficient barely to maintain, but ..,,t to improve, our position, would render indis pensable the future expenditure of not one but of many pounds, and by far the most economical course for posterity, putting the interests of the existing generation out of the question, would be at once to raise fifty or even a hundred millions sterling, and thus, by unanswerable evidence, prove that we were bent on making sacrifices worthy of the noble cause in which we are en gaged with our august coadjutor, and certain to produce immediate success. Such a course would strike terror into the heart of the Northern Auto crat, and teach the despot of Vienna the propriety and prudence of remaining faithful to his promises, according to their spirit, as well as to the letter. It would foster and sustain our own resources for greater exertions, should they become essential, and it would restore England to the pinnacle on which she had once established herself. But the finances of France are directed by the master mind of NAPOLEON ; those of England, by the pettifogging intellect of Sir CORNEWALL LEWIS. The former bursts through all red-tapist fetters, while the latter suffers himself to be inextricably involved in their meshes, and by making unrea sonable demands at too early a stage of the pro ceedings strives to damp the spirit of the people and to reduce their power. This is a painful contrast, and it is our own fault if we permit matters to remain in their pre sent state. If Ministers will turn over a new leaf—if they will fairly second the efforts of our Ally, and speak out as boldly respecting the better and more determined conduct of the War, well ! Under such circumstances, and with adequate gua rantees for the lue redemption of their pledges, we should willingly allow byegones to be byegones, and accord a complete amnesty for the past, in the hope of a sounder and more honourable policy for the future. But if not—if Coburgism and Germanism are still to be in the ascendant, more decided measures will be required, and there must be a sweeping change in the representation —a, change that will not merely be the infusion of new blood into the House of Commons and the Ministry, but the exclusion of all who have not justified the confidence heretofore reposed in them, and acted in accordance with the dignity and true interests of the country.

The Minister of Marine has received the follOw iug report from Vice-Admiral Bruat. It explains very clearly one of the principal causes of the failure of the allied attack on the 18th ult. on the Mala khoff Tower and the Redan, as it appears that the Russians had at the time largo masses of troops ready drawn up, and on the point of making a sor tie, in order to recover, if possible, the works which the French and English had taken from them on the 7th. In place, therefore, of the allied troops taking the Russians unawares, they were themselves to a certain extent surprised by the fact of the Russians being drawn in in such force to receive them : "MONTERELLO, June 19. " Monsieur le Ministre ' —At the moment wh en th e allied squadrons returned from Kertch, the generals-in chief were preparing to follow up the successes already obtained, and were contemplating a serious attack against the Malakhoff and the battery of the Redan. Although the co-operation cf the Navy had not been demanded for this attack, Admiral Lyons and I thought that we might be able to aid in it. Admiral Lyons could employ in his various night attacks many more steam vessels than I, in consequence of my having been com pelled to send frigates to Constantinople. For want of frigates, I was obliged to devote to this service corvettes, and small steamers ; and I was able, when the English sent I mi. vessels and three gtnboats to add to them three vessels of my squadron, each vessel presenting herself singly before the forts at inte-vals of about half-an-hour. We were very fortunate in these nocturnal expeditions. Since the Mogador, which, before our departure for Kertch, had had teed men killed, no French vessel had h a d a man put hors de combat. The English had been as favoured as ourselves, until tvo nights ago, but on that occasion they met with a Bevel , loss. A shell, which fell on hoard the Terrible, killed two men and wounded eleven. Other ships were alsostruck, and the total loss of the English on that °cep:4)n was seven men killed and thirty wounded. Last light, only two vessels threw projectiles into the pace, end although their fire was returned with vigour, they met with no damage. The vivacity of the fire of the Russian batteries clearly indicates the irritation of the enemy at those incessant attacks. From the great want of artillerymen to which, according to the account of deserters, the place has been reduced, owing to the lorg siege, it is not a trifling matter for them to be compel ed to keep their sea-ward batteries constantly manned aid ready for action, and to have the garrison fatigued, and particularly those gunners whose energy alone explains the long resistance which has been made at Sebastopol. It positively stated that the moment when the Mainelon - Vert and the white works were about to be attacked by our troops, the Russians were obliged to send for gu k eeee from the Quarantine forts in order that they night be able to return the fire, directed on the redoubts which were to be attacked. It was principally to prevent their adopting the same course, that Admiral Lyons and I, when in formed of the intentions of the Generals-in-Chief, de cided on getting the steamers ithe two squadrons under weigh, and keeping them moving about before the forts within cannon-shot ready to lay hold of any opportunity that might present itself for making a more serious attack against the seaward forts. At three o'clock in the morning the two squalrons were under steam, and at half past three signal rockets, thrown up from one of our works, informed us that the allied troops were in march on the Redan and on the Malakhoff Tower. Notwithstanding the vigour with which this double stack was conducted, the courage of the allied troops faired of success • they could not effect a lodgment in the works which they were to carry ; but although compelled to retire they have not lost an inch of ground, and they fell back in good order on their parallels, which they still occupy. From the very first streak of daylight every eye was directed to wards the Malakhoff Tower. The failure of our attack was not confirmed officially until late in the day, but various circumstances had already made it known. Admiral Lyons and I had agreed beforehand that we would not commence any attack until it was evident that such a diversion would be useful. If any re liance may be placed on the accounts given by prison ers, the failure of the attack on the Malakhoff Tower must not be solely attributed to the strength of that work. Our troops found before them considerable masses of the enemy, who were themselves preparing to make an attack on the Matnelon Vert and the white works. If one object, therefore, has not been obtained, that of the enemy has been also defeated, and although repulsed we have not renounced the offensive. No one feels any doubt of our being able soon to take our re venge. Never did troops display more ardour. After having passed the whole day under steam, the squadrons again came to anchor just out of cannon shot before I Sebastopol.--I am, t!sc., " MUTAT."

VIENNA,'J une 29.—The Fremdenblatt states from the Crimea that Prince Gortschakoff has sent for 24,000 men more, and that he has reinforced Gene ral Liprandi's corps with another division. The Presse of yesterday contains an interesting article severely criticising the policy of the allies in obstinately continuing the war, and states that their cause can nojonger be expected to excite any sym pathy in AuAria. Austria was willing to go hand in hand with them, and it was her earnest desire so to do, but now that they have passed the line which she deemed right, and have rejected the propositions which she made, she can no longer consent to give her support to their cause, which seems to savour of ambitious designs. The French ambassador, M. de Thouvenel, has arrived here ; after a stay of a few days he will continue his journey to Constantinople. M.

An extraordinary supplement of the Tn,valide Russe of the 21th ult. contains 'the following under the head "News from the Baltic " "General de Berg transmits the following telegraphic despatch from Helsingfors, dated the 22d At 10 o'clock this morning an enemy's frigate approached the batteries of the isle of Sandham, and opened fire. Our batteries replied with success, destroyed a sloop which preceded the frigate, making soundings, and lodged a shell and several balls in the frigate herself. In this affair, we had a soldier of the 25th crew of marines killed, and four men slightly wounded,' " The same jottriiai publishes an extract of a report from Prince Gortschakoff to the 16th containing supplementary details of the affair of the 7th before Sebastopol, but they are not of much importance. The report admits that the Russians, after a severe conflict, were obliged to abandOß what they call the Kamtchatka Lunette, but asserts that 43 guns in it were previously spiked. It gives the num bers of the Russian killed and wounded, which have already been stated, and declares that those of the French were "incomparably greater." Of the English it makes no mention. From the Bth to the 11th, it says that the besiegers kept up a sharp cannonade on the Russian works, and bom barded the town ; and that on the 14th they had made preparations to attack the Malakhoff tower, but did not execute the design. The report adds that in the other parts of the Crimea everything was tranquil. We have received the St. Petersburg journals o the Nth of June. The Invalicle Russe publishes the following, under the head of " News from the Baltic" : " On the 6th (18th) June, two of the eilienay's vessels and some gun-boats, mounting altogether more than 180 guns, showed themselves at the mouth of the Narva, opposite the village of Gun gersbourg. On the following day the flotilla opened fire against the batteries on the Narva side and against the village, but on receiving our fire with drew towards Seskar Island after eight hours' can nonade. Our loss consists in one man killed and another wounded, who has died since. "Lieut.-General of the Engineers, De Jammer stedt, Acting Commander of Narva, in his report of this unsuccessful attempt of the Allies, says that we owe the success of this artillery engagement to the prudent arrangements of Major-General Daller, of the Artillery, and to the intrepidity of Captain Ragozine, of the Baltic Pilot Corps, who had command of the batteries on the coast, and of Ensigns of Artillery Rousteiko and Bouroundou koff ; he mentions as having 'distinguished them selves—Lieut.-Colonel Yertchensky, of the 4th Carabineers, commanding the troops at the mouth of the Narva ; Lieutenant of Engineers Sieger- Kork ; and Hans Kork, a Narva merchant, chief of the pilots of that port. The house of the latter was destroyed by the enemy's fire. " On the Bth (20th) June, at 9.30 in the evening, the enemy made a descent on Kotka Island, de stroyed the telegraph there, and burnt some houses belonging to' the Crown. "On the following day the enemy's steamers took soundings in Nystadt Roads. " On the same day, 9th (21st) June, the enemy's gunboats fired on the port of Revel, and then re turned to Nargen Island without having done any damage. " On the 10th (22d), at 3 p.m., a gunboat again approached Revel, and withdrew after exchanging four shots with our fortifications." TheiMilitary Governor-General of St. Peters burg announces that on the 10th (22d June) there was no movement visible in the Allied fleet. The gun-boats practised firing in the morning. On the 11th (23d) the position of the fleet re mained the same. Two steamers entered the north channel, and were fired upon by the Russian gun boats. The Invalide Russe announce 4 the destruction of the corn stores at Marioupol and Taganiog. SWEDEN. It is stated in a letter from Stockholm of the 25th ult. that the camp, which has been esta blished at Ladergardsgardet, province of Stock holm, and which is commanded by the Prince Royal, consists of 11,767 men-1,517 of them being cavalry, and 940 artillery. The King (who has caused a tent to be set up for himself in the camp), the Queen, the Queen Dowager, the Prince Royal, and the Princess Eugenia, were present on the 25th at a series of manoeuvres of the troops, combined with the evolutions of a flotilla which is stationed in the straits of Ladeigardsgardet. The Prince Royal is to proceed to Christiania, towards the middle of the present month, to take the com mand of the camp of Norwegian troops, which is to be established near that city. It is expected that the King will accompany him. A FAMILIAR EPISTLE TO LORD ROBERT &ROSVENOR. And so, Lord Robert, you possess Such Christian faith and tenderness, That you would shed your wormwood drop Upon the poor man's Sunday chop, And in your saintly ardour stop His wicked draught of malt and hop ; Nay, even close the barber's shop, Exclude the "broad sheet" from our sight, And leave us in a cheerless plight. I wonder that the hour of nine, Which you have set up as divine, Has spared the housemaid's pail and mop, Or left the child his lollipop. Perhaps, most wise and perfect Lord, You'll fast upon the Sabbath-day, And, leaving larder shelves unstored, Go quietly to kneel and pray ; Let cook and scullion have no fear Lest duck or grouse be overdone, And never let your coachman hear "John, bring the carriage round at one ;" See that no pine comes, fresh and nice, No mullet, cool from Groves's ice ; Above all, mind your cellar lock Is not touched after nine o'clock, And, if your friends should gather round, Let no champagne nor port be found ; Ask for no sherry at your lunch, And have no burgundy nor punch, But hang your " Bill" upon your walls, And, when some noble Countess calls, Point to its text, and sternly say "Go to your church—you know the way." When God and Nature filled Life's measure, The cup held goodly share of pleasure ; Though now, by hard and worldly plan, Some take it only when they can. Some sweating frames and dusty lips Can take but short and hasty sips— In truth they've but one day in seven Which Labour has not snatched from Heaven ; And, in that Heaven's holy name, Let them preserve their human claim, And though, perchance, S3lllO thoughtless wrong May mark the Sabbath of " the people," 'Tie not your harih, imperious gong Will call them to the sacred steeple. You see your narrow, bigot-zeal, Which bars and bins the poor man's meal, Has left you sadly in the lurch, And filled Hyde-park before the church. You see your wisdom is not wise, You see Religion's press-gtng cries, Aided by all your rigid laws, Fail to enlist in holy cause. Fools and fanatics strive and wish To make all men sit round one dish ; But various diets save the soul, At least, in mercy, so we hope. Leave something to our own control : Give me my much-loved c mntry And ['ll leave you " the Devil" and " Pope." Really, my Lord, we cannot see What the almighty use may be Of this church-going law you'd give, Save to bid fierce Rebellion live, And still more cruelly destroy The poor man's freedom, poor man's joy. You will but bring an angry curse Upon your head—or something worse. One foot too many on the neck May spring the plank of Tumult's wreck, And spirits that have toiled and strivsn To keep our Commerce wheels in play Must not be goaded, pressed, and driven Like beasts upon a market-day. Remember, man in senate place, That our low " Sunday-trading" crew Forms the stout band that keep - 4 our land Secure and rich for " lurdd" like you. Go and preside at princely board, And ask your guests to come, we'll let them ; But leave us bread and beer, my lord, Bought how and when we best can get them, Be wise in time, for English blood, Made bitter, will refuse to be The serflike horde you ask, my lord, So leave our Sabbath fairly free. ONE OF "THE PEOPLE." A letter from Warsaw of the 27th ult., Rays :—" The Grand Doke Michael will shortly Prje,e(l from 13131 Y sock, .;. to j i.r the iiead-oarters of toe central army at \Vilna. His elder brother, the Grand Duke Nicholas, is at present m aking a tour of inspection in Finland, and will only come here towards the middle of next month to assume definitively the post of Chief of the Engineers of the wes MEETING OF TR'S SOUTH-EAS TERN RAILWAY COMPANY-(THIS DAY). A special general meeting of the proprietors of this railway was held this afternoon, at the Bridge-house Hotel, London-bridge, for the purpose of considering and approving the draft of a bill now before Parliament for making a railway from the Manor-street Terminus of the authorised Western Termnus Railway, connect ing the latter with the West-end of London and Crystal Palace Railway, and to empower the South- Eastern Company to enter into contracts for using the same, and to become shareholders in the un dertaking. Mr. H. Rich, chairman of the board, pre sided. The SECRETARY having read the notice convening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said the project was one of great im portance, which it was thought ought not to be allowed to pass without consulting the proprietors. Last year the West End Crystal Palace Company obtained an act for the construction of that railway from the Crystal Palace to London, passing over Gipsey-hill, through Norwood,Streatbarn,Balhatn, and Clapham. During the past year that company had been in negotiation wilh the South-Western Railway, for access to the Waterloo road Station, but being unable to agree on terms, the negotiation had ceased. In the same year the West end Terminus Company obtained an act for the con struction of a line from Rochester-street, Westminster, across the Thames, over a bridge, therce to Manor street, Clapham, pledging themselves that they would in the following session petition Parliament for powers to make a line in continuation to the Crystal Palace. The company having fulfilled that pledge, the proprietors of the South Eastern Company were called together to consider certain powers which were given to them by that bill on certain conditions. The length of this line was six miles and five furlongs, running over some of the other lines, leaving two miles and a half to be constructed, which, in consequence of the expensive nature of the country through which it would pass, the cost of construction would be 78,000/4 per mile. This company had nothing to do with the traffic or the cost of construction, but to decide whether their name should appear in the bill, because, if so, by the 25th section they might make arrangements for the working of the line for ten years under the sanction of the Board of Trade, otherwise they would be excluded. By clause 30 they might subscribe to the undertaking ; but at present the directors did not feel disposed to spend the company's money in that way. Mr. HERAPA.TH—That must be for future considera tion. The CimumAN--Yes, and it could only be done with the consent of three-fifths of the proprietors. No doubt this line would materially benefit the South Eastern Company by bringing extra traffic over their line. He moved a resolution in conformity with the notice con vening the meeting which was carried unanimously. Thanks were voted to the Chairman and the meeting separated. CENTRAL 01?IMINAL COURT. (TILTS DAY.) (Before Mr. Baron Parke.) Rebecca Turton, 33, was placed at the bar to take her trial for the wilful murder of her husband, Thomas Turton. It will be recollected that the offence imputed to the prisoner was committed nearly two years ago, but when she was arraigned it appeared that she was insane, and consequently not in a condition to plead, or take her trial, and she was therefore removed to a private lunatic asylum, where it appears that her mind has become completely restored, and, under the order of the Secre tary of State, she has been committed to take her trial for the offence with which she was originally charged. Mr. Ballantine, who appeared for the prisoner, now applied to his lordship to po,tpone the trial to the next session, on the ground that he was not at present pre pared with the medical testimony, which would be o; great importance to the prisoner in her defence. Mr. Bodkin, who was instructed for the prosecution, said he had no objection to offer to the postponement, and the trial was consequently ordered to stand over. Jeremiah, Foley, 24, a ruffianly-looking fellow, way charged with the wilful murder of Hannah Bell. Mr. Ryland prosecuted. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Sleigh. It appeared that the deceased was what is termed an unfortunate girl, and she lived in a low brothel in a place called Five Bell Alley, Litieeliouse. On the evening of the 11th of June, a girl named Mary MgAuley, who lived in the same house, took home with her the prisoner and another man, and the prisoner, who appeared to have been previously ac quainted with the deceased, went into the room, and the other man and Mg.:inlay proceeded up-stairs. Very shortly afterwards, and, as it appeared, without any provocation, the prisoner assaulted McAuley and her companion in a brutal manner, and he then made a most savage attack upon the unfortunate deceased, knocked her down, and kicked her in the face ane: neck, and inflicted such serious injuries upon het that she died the same night, the death being clearly occasioned by the violence she had received from the prisoner. It was proved in addition to these facts, that the prisoner bad previously conducted himself in a most brutal manner, and that he was a complete terror to the whole neighbourhood; and it also appeared that on the evening of the occurrence the prisoner told one of the witnesses that he was determined to be revenged upon the deceased, and that he had a hammer in his pocket with which he intended to knock out the brains of the deceased, and at the same time said that he in tended to warm the hammer first upon the head of the girl McAuley. It appeared, however, that he was in a drunken condition at the time he made these threats. The jury found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter, and he was sentenced to fourteen years' transportation. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Cresswell.) William Stafford, 27, dairyman, and Charles Stafford, 21, cab proprietor, were indicted for breaking and enter ing a warehouse belonging to Messrs. Brandon and Lock, and stealing therefrom twenty pockets of hops, valued at 4001. Mr. Clarkson prosecuted, and Mr. Parry and Mr. Cooper defended. It appeared that the prosecutors, who are hop mer chants, living at Bermondsey, had their warehouses broken into upon the night of the 26th of April, and the hops stolen. A van was observed to enter prosecu tor's premises about 10 that night, and shortly after- wards leave loaded, and the prisoner William Stafford was sworn to as the party driving the van. The hops were then moved to some stables at Islington occupied by the prisoner Charles, where a portion of tie hops were put into five fresh pockets, and but for info,- illation given to the police by the horeekeeper of witht was going on at the stables, the whole of the propert3 would have been transferred to other pockets and got rid of. The police, however, secured the two prisonerF and the whole of the property. The evidence, whicl. was very lngthy, had not concluded when we went t( press. The case created a deal of interest, in cones quence of the respectability of the accused parties, against whom the evidence seems to be most conclusive, MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

THE CASH OF STRAHAN, PAUL, AND CO. This morning William, Strahan, Sir John Dean Paul, Bart., and W. ill. Bates, were again placed at the bar, in accordance with the remand of Mr. Jardine. The excitement, though not so great as at the previous examination, was still very great ; the lobbies leading to the court, notwithstanding, were densely crowded. At a quarter past twelve the doors of the court were opened, and, after a terrific rush for a few moments, the court was filled to suffocation. The prisoners seemed to have suffered very little dur ng their imprisonment. Mr. Bodkin said it would be remembered when this case was last before the magistrate Dr. Griffith had charged the prisoners with making away with securi ties of a large amount. The evidence of Dr. Griffith was quite sufficient with respect to Strahan. He had hoped to be able to have adduced evidence to bring the case home technically to the prisoners. But he bad to state that difficulties had arisen in a quarter which was least expected. He should, therefore, be under the necessity of again asking for a further remand, and in order to obtain the evidence required, and that the apparent opposition might be explained. The learned counsel then said, all the evidence he should offer to-day was to the effect that, in April last, the bank was in difficulties, and that securities to the amount of many thousand pounds which had been lodged with the firm had been disposed of. The case, so far as regarded Strahan, he thought was complete, after the admissions he himsalf had made. With respect to Mr. Bates, al though it was asserted that he was in France at the time of the transaction, he should produce evidence of a nature to prove that he was cognisant of all the proceed ings of the bank. The learned counsel then called Ramand Pelly, clerk in Messrs. 0 verend and Gurney's, 65, Lombard street, money dealers, produced a letter signed by J. D. Paul, and addressed to Young, Esq. The letter was to the effect that the Messrs. Overe,ad would lend as much money as the securities sent would recover. He was not acquainted with the handwriting of Sir J. D. Paul. John Young said he resided at 6, Size-lane, Bucklers bury. He was a solicitor. In April last he negotiated a loan for Messrs. Strahan with Overend and Gurney. He communicated with Sir J. D. Paul, who wished him to raise 30,0001. Sir John brought him, to the best of his recollection, securities consisting of Dutch and Danish Bonds. Mr. Pelly was the person he saw at Overend's. Sir John Paul remained at his office while he went to Overend's. On his return he communicated to him what had taken place be tween himself and Mr. Pelly. Mr. Pelly at .first objected to lend 30,000/., but they were willing to advance 27,0001. Sir John agreed to that propc,- iition. The first application for the money took plac e no Saturday, the 27th. He went over to Messrs. Over end's, hut, Mr. Chapman being absent, nothing cculd b done. On the Monday following Sir John returne d with the securities. He did not know whether he had them with him on the Saturday. On the Monday he saw, at Messrs. Overend and Gurney's, Mr. Pelly and Mr. Chapman, and on that day the 27,0001. was ad vanced to Sir John. He (witness) signed the document, which has the amount of the securities endorsed upon it, now produced. The securities were in the possession of Messrs. Overend, who in formed Sir John that only 27,0001. could be Adva,nced. Sir John expressed his wish to take the smaller sum. Mr. Chapman wanted to know the name ,f the borrower, but he (the witness) told Mr. Chapman .hat he could not give him the name of the borrower. Ele said Mr. Chapman's request was reasonable, and be feturnod to Sir John, who wrote the note which be (witness) took to Messrs. Overend, and showed it to Mr. Pully ; and thus the 27,0001. was advanced. The arl vance was by an open note, or cheque, not crossed, to liessrs. B %relay. The note was ca,-hid, and he (witness) sanded Sir John 27 one thousand pound notes. Mr. Bois, a clerk to Messrs. Overend, remembered. the advance of 27,0001. to Sir John Paul. The securi- ties were brought in a box. On the back of the " bor. .-owed note " he wrote the description of the securities,. "Thiel) at present was there. He produced one of each. )ond—they consisted of Dutch, Danish, Upper Canada, 5 per Cents., and Brazilian. He produced one Dutch Lod one Daniel]. John Hills, 3, Bartholomew-lane, stockbroker, said :he handwriting of the " bought note " was that. of Mr. Fitzgerald. He effected a purchase of 30,006 Dutch florins for Dr. Griffith on order of Messrs. Strahan, ,n the 27th June, 1849. Mr. Fitzgerald is not a clerk, ,ut he assisted him in his business. He had no entries or orders in his book, only the name of the purchaser appeared there. It was not the custom to enter the lame of the parties commissioning them to purchase took. On the 15th of April, 1851, he purchased MO. Danish Five per Cents. for Messrs. Strahan. The home . Jobs was signed by Mr. Cresswaller. The different plir , :hases made for Messrs. Strahan amounted t 02,000/. stock. rne name of the purchaser given us by Messrs. Straban vas Dr. Griffith. Another purchase was made on the ith of June of 5,000 Dutch bonds. This also was for Dr. Griffith. _ _ Mr. Bodkin, to the magistrate—To this last, sir, is thached the note in the handwriting of Mr. Bates. Examination continued—The clerk of Messrs. Strahan brought the order for the purchase. As a rule a clerk called daily at Messrs. Strahan's. Sometimes the in structions were in writing, sometimes verbally. He could only find the two written notes he produced. Ha believed the notes to be in the handwriting of Mr. Bates. The notes were here read ; they were for the purchase stock. One of them directed 30,000 Dutch florins fot Dr. Griffith. By Mr. Parry—He knew Mr. Bates was a partner in the bank. They purchased stock to the amount of uundreds of thousands daily. John Fitzgerald had been in the habit of assisting Mr. Hills in his business. The handwriting on the bought notes, viz., Ist, dated 10th April, 61 ; the 2d, 7th of June, 1849 ; and the 3d, the 4th of June, 1848, was his. He (lid not remember any conversation with Messrs. Straha n. He called at the bank in the morning `or instructions, which were filed. At the cone] usion of this witness's evidence the 'earned counsel said he did not intend carrying the case further to•clay. He therefore had to apply for another remand. Mr. Ballanti ae, for Sir John Dean Paul, Bart., and Yin Strahan, said he did not intend to offer any opposi ; ion to the course proposed to be pursued by the counsel `or the prosecution. Mr. Parry said, with respect to the evidence )rodueed to-day there was nothing at all to criminate Vlr. Bates. The only connection he had with the trap.- action was that o.n one occasion be inclosed a " bough,* Iota" to Dr. Griffith. Mr. Pates stood in a very different weition when compared with the ce'eer two gentlemen, end they wished the circumstance to be fully known. Crum it was that Mr. Bates participated in the partner , . hip, and therefore was in a measure responsible for it 4 lebts and liabilities, but the participation in the partnershiP vas in this light, that he drew 1,0001. a year in the shape ,f salary from the bank; but this was all he did. He dil let receive any further sum, neither did he receive auf , f the profits of the bank. He should be able to prove , n evidence that _Mr. Bates, in regard to this matter, tood merely as a manager or head clerk would to in any other banking house. He should also show that at the time the transaction took place hat Mr. Bates was in France, and, therefore, he ould not in any way be acquainted with the proceed nos going on in Loudon. If it was required, he would . )ut in the passpo.rt and some other documents to prove he truth of what he aserted, and under these circum stances he hoped the worthy magistrate would admit its client to bail. Mr. Bodkin said he did not like to contradict the statements of his learned friend. Ho had been instructed, end no doubt he believed in the truth of those instruc tions. But he (Mr. Bodkin) must oppose th e applica• ,ion, as he had oth er cases to bring forward which would ,nvolve Mr. Bates in prior transactions. He also thought that the application of Mr. Parry was at variance with the usual mode of proceeding in cases such as the present. Mr. Parry differed from his learned friend ; it hal been done in hundreds of cases. Mr. Jardine said that on general principles he did not think he ought to make any distinction by admitting Bates to bail. Ha was sure Mr. Bodkin had the best grounds for what he stated, and therefore he m ust refuse the application. Mr. Bodkin then made an application that the wit nesses who h a d givecl their evidence to-day, and also the rev. gentleman who was examined on a previous o'r casion, should be read over to them and signed, in order that their attendance might be di spense d w ith until they were required to give evidence in another place. J a rdine said he had no objecti o n to that course being Jase being adopted. The whole of the evidence taken in this case having been read over, and several important omissions having been supplied, the further hearing of this case was then erdered to stand over until this day week at 12 o'el''H" [We caanot close our report this day's proceeding ° without publicly thanki ng Mr. Jardine for his kindflo S towards the gentleman who attended from this office to report the proceedings in this case.] 'i 310 CO, The ( Closed TA w ere Witt tirnated a s Peculatio Pernam a tian at 6 and 40 g, Th e Rail Clos e was In desc ket, Mess fro m Man tp - ~1TL , 3 11 j t ko .
