The appointment of a Minister of War has already altered, though not to the full extent that it will alter, the relation of the Crown towards the army. In matters of this kind the Queen must be content to act, as on all others, by the advice of her responsible Minister. W e have little fear that Lord Panmure, or any Minister holding an office responsible to Parliament, will ad v i se h er M a j esty to annul those recommendations of the Cotnmis sion of 1854 which did a tardy justi,e to the great body of the army, and in some degree remedied the inequalities established by an ill-judging par tiality in favour of the Household Troops. these matters now, as in all others, her Majesty i s provided with that constitutional shield which should protect her against criticism or censure. But what avails this protection if her Consort b's so ill-advised as to enter into that arena of open dis cussion from which his exalted position should ex clude him, and throw the influence of the Court and the Crown into a scale which the groat mass of her Majesty's subjects assuredly do not wish to preponderate ? The glory of the present reign has been to have broken down monopolies and scattered to the winds one-sided laws and invidious privi leges. We breathe a freer air, we enjoy more un restrained liberty of action, wo are less galled with a sense of inequality and partiality, than any race of Englishmen that has gone before us. Legisla tion, opinion, practice, have all gone in one direc tion. It were not well that the nearest and most trusted of the counsellors of the Queen should he the first to set the example of a return to what the judgment of the nation has so emphatically re jected. (Prom ti Daily News of this clad.) Our anticipation, regarding o the imperfect and ill fashioned measure last session relating to the question of Limited Liability th© been fulfilled. Government were warned m e time that their pi e cemeal legislation would prove abortive, and their random attempts at the reform of of ofthe last practical re an old and tough system of injustice, barre n waits. But in the heat and hur r y weeks of a wasted Parliamentary year, it deemed of Ministerial moment to have semeth*ir to make a show of business capacity in the statute making making line • and so, hit or miss, it was resolved that some bill about Partnership should be forced through both Houses.

To all who are ac quainted with the real working of humble enter prise in this country, and with tha difficulties it has to encounter, it is clear enough which of the stopped to change horsey atVelletri. It was a fine brigh, morning, and being Sunday, the men were idling about in groups, in their brown cloaks and conical bats ; and the female coutadini were finking into the town in holi day costume—searlet boddices, blue petticoats, and the white messare on their heads. " I walked on, in advance, and had proceeded about half a mile beyond the town, when the diligence over took me, and I resumed my seat. About ten minutes afterwards we c.iine to a sudden halt, and upon looking through the glasses to ascertain the cause of our stop psge, found we were surrounded by brigands, masked, and six cr seven long rides presented horizontally at the c irriage windows. They approached, opened the doors, and mentioned to us to alight, and made us I • down on our faces by the roadside. We had five passengers, and had a fellow to each, who made us, more by signs than words, deliver up the contents of our pockets. I handed out all the louse silver I had about ins, which was very little ; but I had also a few Napoleons, which, in order that I might not during the darkness disburse them by mistake far two-Paul pieces, I had wrapped in a morsel of paper—this I did not give up, and as the fellow did not himself put his halal into my pockets, I luckily saved my coins. To my surpri,e he did not take my watch, although he saw, and his band even came in contact with, the chain. He took my cigar case, and returned to me my handkerchief. He then ordered me not to move, arid left me ; when we heard an altercation with the conductor, who was pleading roost earnestly to the 'Caro fratello,' as he called him. Then we heard them cutting through the thick leather tarpaulin that covered the luggage on the roof. In about a good quarter of an hour they jumped into the bosquetto, or thick planta tion of tall reeds, by the roadside, and disappeared. Finding they had cleared out, we picked ourselves up, and in a few minutes were again on our road towards Albano. The other four passengers had been completely despoiled of every cent they possessed ; but although we all had watches and chains conspicuously worn, one only had been taken. We could only account for this by supposing that they feared that the possession of, or at tempt to dispose of, such articles might lead to detection.

(Before Mr. Baron Martin.) MURDER OF A POLICEMAN AT SHEFFIELD. James Burke, 22, and Cormaele Dunlevy, 32, were in dicted fur the murder of Wm. Beardshaw, at Sheffield, on the 22) of July last. Mr. Hardy and Mr. Johnstone conducted the prose nation. The prisoners were defended by Mr. Dearaley. Mr. Hardy briefly stated the case. The rerson who came by his death on the 22d of July, by the hand of sane one, was a man -named Beardshaiv, who was acting on that day for the first time as a watchman in the town of Sheffield. It appeared that a man named Nl'Corinack was supposed to have been com mitting a robbery in the shop of John Shanuan, who charged him with the offence. M'Cormack escaped, but he was shortly afterwards apprehended in the neighbourhood by a policeman, and irons were put on h.s hands and legs in consequence of his violent conduct. About a thousand of M'Cormack's fellow countrymen (Irishmen) were assembled near the place where he was apprehended, and on the policeman at tempting to put him in a cab, for the purpose of having him conveyed to the police station, he, called out to th e Irishmen, " Will y ou see me takeu,' or words to that effect. Immediately upon this an attack was made upon tie police, stones and brickbats were thrown by the mob, and M'Cormack was rescued, but apprehended at a later period in th e even i ng , when it was discovered th at h e had employed the time which had intervened from his rescue in removing the irons which the police had put upon him. In the course of the melee Beardshaw re ceived the injuries which c aused his death, and another policeman, named Dickinson, was also severely injured, The deceased was at the time in the execution of his duty, t eking into custody a man charged with a serious offence, and if the prisoners were two of the p sifes who attempted to rescue this man by violence, they must be considered responsible for the effects produced b / such means as they employed. It would be proved that the prisoners were extremely violent ; that they were seen by many witnesses to throw stones and use other vio lence to the police. This was not the case of a disturb. ance between private individuals ; here were police offi• cel; in the execution of their duty, and he (the learned counsel) should submit, under the correction of his lord. ship, that anything which was done to them resulting in death would bring the offence within th e male of murder. Mr. Baron Martin dissented from this view of the law; to convict of murder, tho intention must be brought home to the person committing the crime. Mr. Hardy said that, after this intimation from the learned judge, he should abandon the capital offence, and charge the prisoners• with the manslaughter of Beardshaw merely. The witnesses for the prosecution were then called. Amongst these —Jane Jubb deposed that on the night in question she saw Burke throw a stone during the melee, and on a companion saying to him, " Get out of the way, you have hurt a watchman," he exclaimed with an oath that ho would kill the watchmen.— George Rushton, a police constable, proved that he saw Dunitry throw stones twice at the police; be was twice ht.—John Hill also saw Burke throw stones, and heard him say that be " would kill the watchman." He was as sisting in conveying Dickinson, who had been injured, to the infirmary, when Burke struck him (witness) over the back with a stone in a at nking, and he alio stab- bed him in the right arm with a knife.—Thomas Chapsey proved that Burke kicked two policemen who bad been knocked down in a gutter.—Samson Barker, polies constable, deposed that when M'Cormaek was being put into the cab, he and Beardshaw were knocked down. Beardshaw put his hand to his head, and said "Oh, my head !"—Samuel Linley, inspector of police, saw the riot. Both the prisoners were present, and they appeared to take a very active part in the disturbance. —Mr. Wright, surgeon, proved that the deceased's skull was fractured, and that consequent extravasation of blood on the brain was the cause of death. The wound was such a one as was likely to have been produced by a stone. On Tuesday night the following soldiers arrived from Fort Pitt at the Crimean Hotel, Dublin, where they re mained at Lord Carlisle's expense, after having been discharged from the service:--Corporal Skally, 9th Foot, shot through both hips and stomach ; Michael Monag han, 9th, right hand shattered; John Madden, 4th Dra unon Guards ; Patriek Corner, 49th, left hand shattered; Owen M'Donnell, 88th, wounded in left cheek ; James M'Reilly, 34th, left arm shattered ; P. Young, 34th, do. ; John Hurley, 17th Foot ; Thomas Bailey, 18th, left foot fractured ; John Brady, 95th, lose of left leg by a shell; Martin Garner', Wm. Decamp, 33d, lose of left leg by grapeshot ; John Cook, 23th, lose of right leg— underwent amputation twice. Corporal Skally exhibited a pair of handsome crutches prevented to him by the Queen last month ; they cost three guineas, and were mounted with c!itmion velvet, springs, and rich brass mountings. Ms wound was of a very severetiatur , - , , as was the wound of Private Owen M`Donne:l, 88th ; a Minie ball struck him on the left side of the head under the eye, whence it traversel beneath the flesh past the car, round the neck, and came out over the right shoulder, shortly after which another ball went through the shoulder blade. This man, as well as his comrades, was in the highest spirits ; they only regretted that the nature of their wounds prevented them serving her Majesty again. James Ascroft, S 3, collier, was charged with the man slaughter of his wife, Bridget Ascroft, at Wigan, on Sa turday, 22d September. The deceased and another woman, a neighbour, went to a funeral on the afternoon of the day named, and on their return called at a public house, and had "a little sup of drink." The prisoner also came into the house, and drank with them for some time. He left about eleven, but the woman remained "supping" until nearly twelve o'clock at night, when, in going home, they met the prisoner, and the deceasei and he (both of them drunk) went towards home together. Soon after several persons saw the prisoner beating the deceased in Wellington-street (Wigan), and heard her crying out for mercy, and her husband applying vile epi th, is to her. He kicked and beat her most cevertly, and between one and two o'clock on the Sunday morning, she was found lying insensible and in a atape of collapse in an adjoining entry, attention having been drawn to her by some females • The ,prisoner, it appea'e I, al so went to one or two parties' who knew bite, and aikel them to " come and look at Bridget, lying nearly kilt." Eventually, the woman was taken home, and attended by a surgeon, but she died on the Thursday following, from inflmumation of the brain, caused by the injuries she had received. The jury at once returned a verdict of guilty. His lordship in passing sentence again al luded to the painful number of cases arising from habits of intemperance, and sentenced the prisoner to 15 years' transportation.—The prisoner appeared agreeably cur. priced at the result of the trial, and with appa ren t since rity he ejaculated, " Thank you, sir, " as he left the dock. Mr. J. R. Newcombe, lessee of the Theatre Royal, attended to solicit the intervention of the magistrates under the following extraordinary circumstances. Ho stated that the late Madlle. Julie, who died, on Sunday, of the injuries which she received from the accidental ignition of her dress, whilst performing at the theatre on the 20th ult., had previously to the accident, and throughout her illness, been lodging with a Mr. Morris, the occupier of a small lodging-house, between George place and A.thenteurn-terrace. The lodging money was regularly paid, but when he (Mr. Newcombe) had ar ranged for the removal of the remains of the deceased lady to London, for burid, he was informed by Mr. Morris that he claimed 11 guineas as compensation for the damage which he said had been done to the bed and other articles of furniture, consequent upon the illness of Mademoiselle Julie, and that until that sum was paid, he sheuld not allow the corpse to be re moved from the house. On looking at the items in the bill, applicant considered the charges were enreasonable, but he offered to place 121. in the hands of any respectable person, unconnected with either party, with a view to the payment of the demand, should it, upon examination, prove to be reasonable and just. Mr. Morris, however, positively refused to agree to any terms short of the immediate payment of the amount which he demanded, and as he persisted in re taining possession of the dead body, he (Mr. Newcombe) was reluctantly compelled to seek the advice and assist ance of the Bench in the matter. The Mayor expressed his surprise at the necessity of such an application, and asked Mr. Morris, who was in court, what explanation belied to offer. Mr. Morris replied that he had not refused to allow the remains of Madlle. Julie to be taken out of his hou-e, but be nevertheless expected that his claim for compen sation should be first satisfied. So far from his bill being exorbitant, he bad omitted to make some charges which he might have included, and which he nhonld seek to include if the bill were disputed. He believed he had power to detain the corpse, and he did not want any thicg which was not legal-and right. Mr. Phillips, magistrates' clerk—But you do want what is neither legal nor right. The proposal of Mr. Newcombe seems a very fair one, and such as no honest man could object to. He isready to pay whatevershall be proved, on inquiry, to be equitable, and what more canyon require? As to your retaining possession of the corpse beyond the time necessary to arrange for its decent sepul ture, that, you will find, you cannot do. It will be the duty of the magistrates to see that the public health is in no danger of being injured. Mr. Morris said he believed that he was legally justi fied in the course which he had taken, and he should not consent to abandon his claim. The Mayor—lt seems that you are in ignorance as to your true position. I may then tell you that you have no remedy whatever as against Mr. Newcombe. You could not recover a penny from him, whatever might be the extent of the damage which you allege you have sus tained. Mr. Newcombe has, it appears, kindly under taken to superintend the removal of the remains of the deceased lady from Plymouth, but that gives you no claim upon him. Mr. Phillips—Have you any objection to Mr. New combe leaving 121. in the hands of Mr. Codd, the Super intendent of Police, and to refer the matter to the arbitra tion of Mr. Skardon, it being understood that Mr. Codd shall then pay whatever sum Mr. Skardon shall deem to be just? Mr. Morris—l shan't agree to anything of the kind. I have no objection to Mr. Skardon personally, but I shall not abandon any part of my claim, and shall take legal advice upon the subject. Mr. Phillips—You may take whatever advice you please, but if I were Mr. Newcombe I wouldn't pay you a penny after this ; and as to 3 our supposed right to de tain the corpse, the magistrates will, no doubt, quickly put that matter straight by sending for the inspector (;) nuisances.

The Mayor directed that Mr. Symons, the inspector of nuisances under the Board of Health, should be de- sired to give his immediate attendance. Whilst the Court was waiting the arrival of that officer, it was remarked by Mr. Elliott, an undertaker, that he had seen all the articles said to have been damaged, awl he would guarantee to replace them for the sum of 5/. The cold has suddenly and very severely set in at Nancy. In the early part of last week the thermometer stood at 9 degrees below zero centigrade (161 F.) The canal is completely frozen over, and the river Ifeurthe is so at the sides. Mr. Morris—That's quite ridiculous. " Mr. Efliot, however, r, Hewed his offer ; and Mr, Phillips observed that it sufficiently proved that the bill of Mr. Morris required to be examined. The Mayor said it appeared to him to be an extraor dinary thing that after the offer made by Mr. Newcombe there should have beeu any attempt upon the part of Mr. Morris to retain possession of the corpse. Mr. Morris—lf you were to place yourself in my po sition, sir, you would feel differently. The Mayor—l should be very sorry, indeed, to find myself in such a position. lam quite sure that under n eircurn , tances could I bare acted as you have done in this instance. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.—MEMORIAL TO T/11l BOARD OF TRADE.—At a meeting of the Norwich town council on Wednesday, a memorial to the Board of Trade wa. , ; unanimously adopted with respect to the condition of the Norfolk and Eastern Counties Railway between the city of Norwich and London. The memorialists 'date thet they have found from inquiry and evidence, that the permanent way of the lines is in a very bad condition ; that the timbers and sleepers on the road are greatly decayed ; that many of the bridges are defective and in want of repair ; that travelling upon the line is die• agreeable and hazardous ; that from fear of personal danger, parties avoid travelling on the lines, while per sows not in robust health cannot bear the shaking and jostling which the state of the rails occasions, and are thereby greatly inconvenienced ; and that Mr. Simpson, one of the directors of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, to whom, with others, it was referred to exa mine into and report on the state of the permanent way, at a meeting of the shareholders, held on Friday last, deelared that " things are in such a state that not an hour must be lost for the sake of the public safety in supplying defects the nature of which it would be incon venient at a public meeting like this to explain." The memoria.li-tp, fearing that some accident may ocour, pray the interference of the board for the protection of the BIRTHS. OP A NON. Mr. Symons, the inspector of nuisances, here made his appearance, and stated that, having desired the de mp u o t y r I: i i s t p h e a c tt oorffi o c f e r n w u a i s s a p n c r e e p s a r t e o d v to t d e t p h o e s e h t o b u a s t e it o w f I r d . be injurious lady were rioustothe not forthwith riefmtohvd foreerema the insof par the deceased . pose of sepulture. The Bench remarked 'that they could no longer hesi. tate as to the course to be adopted. Unless Mr. Morris at once agreed to the quiet removal of the body, they should issue a formal order to the inspector to take the necessary measures for that purpose. Mr. Morris, finding that he had no choice in the matter, then agreed to what be could not prevent, and it was arranged that Mr. Skardon and Mr. Clement should be requested to inquire into the particulars of Mr. Morris's demand, with a view to the payment of such sum as should appear to be justly duv. The remains of the ill-fated lady were removed to London the same afternoon. On the 13th inst., at Christ's Hospital, Londoa, the wife of the Rev. J3mes Thomson. On the 9th inst., at West Brompton, the wife of J. IT. 13ayford, Esq., of Doctors'-commons, and West Bromp ton. Mr. Dearaley, on rising to address the jury for the defence, remarked that he would yield to no man in struggling to the last for a client when there was any thing like a fair chance of success ; but when there was not be would not do it to please any client. The ques tion was, were the jury satisfied that the witnesses who had spoken to the privoners throwing stones and strik ing persons were to be believed / He had no instruc tions that he could shake their credibility, and without such instructions it would be improper for him to attempt to do so. Therefore all be could say was this the night was dark, there was no light, and it was within the range of possibility, and that was all, that some of the witnesses might have been mistaken. Mr. Baron Martin told the jury that there was no evidence of murder at all, and the jury found the pri soners guilty of manslaughter. RIOT AT SHEFFIELD. N‘Cormick, 32, Patrick Charleston, 19, Michael Finxerty, 46, and Robert Smith, 38, were in dicted for a riot at Sbefaeld, on the 22d of July last. Mr. Hardy and Mr.Jebustone were for the prosecution; Mr. Deareley and Mr. Shepherd defended the prisoners.' The circumstances were very similar to those stated in the preceding case ; in fact, it was in the course of this .disturbance that the poor fellow whose death had just been inquired into was killed. Several witnesses were called to prove the particular part which the prisoners severally took in the transan. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF PPORIS.

THE MILITIA. The two regiments of militia which have been quar tered in Newry barracks—namely, the Fermanagh and hart of the Warwickshire Militia, will be removed at the end of this week. The destination of the Fermanagh Re giment is Dublin, as at present determined, and that of the Warwickshire Militia Monaghan. These regiments will be replaced in Newry by the 2d Lanca.hire Militia. The statement that the Royal Glamor;an Militia Re giment bad volunteered for service in the West Indies was a mistake. The regiment has stated its readiness to serve wherever its services may be required, but not vepecially in the \Vest Indies.

DISAPPEARANCS OF AN EDINBUBGII CLERGYMAN. k Considerable anxiety has, we believe, been occasioned in . certain circles in Edinburgh, by the unaccountable dis ; appearance of the incumbent of an Episcopalian chapel in this city. The rev, gentleman, who became settled here at a comparatively recent period, left hie residence AsTsinzeTofFolt the 82.0 e. about th e m idd le of last month and has never since been bea r d of.—Scettish Pres s . MURDERet• r D e it t h ° le 3 e li p E Ra t s — ag T o h t e ried Co a u m rt an e , f named Jandot, for murder and robbery. r The circein stances of the c ase , wh i ch have already been briefly touched on in the M essev , ger, were peculiar :—At a late hour in the evening of the 6th Oct. last, an inhabitant of Saint Gemain-du-Plain s h appened to 'be walking near a bridge over the Nasey, w h en b e perceived a ma in a light cart drive on to the b r id ge, remove something heavy from the vehicle, throw it into the river, and then drive off rapidly. His suspici ons being excited, he got a neighbour to examine the river with him, and they found that what the man bad thrown into the water was the dead body of a boy, about 12 years of age ; they found also, from a cord tied .tightly round hi s neck, that he had been strangled. Inquiries having been made, it turned oat that the boy was the son of an innkeeper, named Vannier, of Chalons, and that he had been sent with the cart to convey a traveller from th a t c i ty to Dole. It was also ascertained that, on the fol lowing day, a man had been arrested at sance, klanziat, a e n_ lage at some • • dit on suspicion of being a thief, he having endeavoured to sell a horse and light cart for whatever they would fetch. Vannier went to see the horse and cart, and recognised them as his ; and on the man in custody being searched, a knife and pockethand kerchief, which bad belonged to the murdered boy, were found. It then appeared certain that it was he who had murdered the boy, and the matter was subsequently . placed beyond all doubt by the discovery, that, at Na• villy, h e h a d agree d w ith t h e b o y, w h o was returning home with the cart, to give him lfr. 25c. to convey him to Chalons, and that they had been seen together in the vehicle only a veryshort time before the body was thrown into th e r i ver . T he pr i soner, who was unable to deny his guilt, was convicted by the jury, and condemned to death. On hearing the verdict, he uttered loud cries, and, when the sentence was pronrunced, he exclaimed, " Oh, my children ! lam condemned to death !" MANSLAUGHTER BY MISTAKE. Joshua Tunstall, 38, labourer, was charged upon a coroner's warrant with the wilful murder of Hannah Bailey, at Ilaydeck, near St. lielen's.—On the night of the 19th September, the prisoner, who is a member of a enefit society, went into the club-room in a state of liquor, and this being against the rules of the society, he was remonstrated with, and became exceedingly angry, challenging all the members to fight. On getting near home he met Thomas Tunstall, a young man also a member of the society, who lived a few doors from him. He and Tunstall had a quarrel through his accusing Tunstall of disgraceful conduct. Tunstall struck him a blow with a piece of wood, and then ran away, and took refuge in a yard. He was chased by the prisoner, who, finding himself foiled, went back to his own house and got a poker. He then challenged Tunstall to come out, and the latter did, but again escaped him. At this time the deceased, an old woman, 72, years of age, who lived next door to Tunstall, was standing outside her own door, having been attracted by the row. The prisoner attacked her, as it would appear, by mistake, for shortly afterwards he went into the house and solicited her par d.m. In the attack, however, he broke the old woman's head, and fractured several of her ribs, and she died in two hours and a-half.--Mr. Atkinson made an able speech on behalf of the prisoner, urging that Thomas Tunstall was the person really responsible for the death of the deceased ; and that, suppo,ing the prisoner believed he was striking Thomas Tunstall, when attacking the old woman, the provocation he had received from him would constitute the ease one of manslaughter only. Verdict, guilty of manslaughter; sentence, 5 years' penal servi- ; curnsa AND WOUNDING AT LIVERPOOL. Samuel Farrell, 26, bhoemaker, was indicted for having, at Liverpool, on the 22J August, feloniously stabbed and wounded Elizabeth Eades, with intent to kill and murder her. The proseutrix was not forthcoming when called upon, and her recogoisances were ordered to be forfeited. The offence, however, was fully proved by a female witness who was with Elen Eades, in Glouces ter•street, when the offence was ootarnitted--Verdict, guilty ; sentence, 9 months' imprisonment. WOUNDING I FOLIoII OFFICES: George Tighe, 19, described as a dock labourer, was charged with having, at Liverpool, on the Bth Novem ber, feloniously cut and stabbed Win. Lakeman, with in tent to do hi m gr i evous b o dil y harm. The prosecutor, a policeman, saw the prisoner on the night in question hanging about the premises of a Mr. Annan, an outfitter in Oldhall-street, and trying to force an entrance. He endeavoured to apprehend the prisoner, when the latter stabbed him in the back and right hand, disabling him so much that he fainted. The officer cried "Stop thief," and tho prisoner was apprehended by another officer while running away. Verdict, Guilty. The prisoner had, since 1851, been twice convicted and sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment at the Liverpool sessions, and 19 times summarily convi c t e d a t the police courts. His Lordship said it was high time to put a stop to such a career, and sentenced the prisoner to 15 years' transpor tation. Prisoner : "Thank you, sir ; that's just what I wanted." He was then removed. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. The December general sessions for the trial of priso ners commenced yesterday at the GullThall, Westmin ster, before Mr. Sergeant Adams, the Assistant Judge, and a bench of mAgistrates. There are 27 prisoners for trial-26 are charged with felony, and the remainder with misdemeanour. The education of the prisoners is thus defined in the calendar-14 can neither read nor write, 14 can read, and 9 can read and write well. Richard Anthony, 16, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with stealing E eve ra I pieces of timber, of the value of 2i., the property of Mr. Thomas Cubitt. Mr. Sergeant Adams said he should sentence the pri soner to imprisonment for two years, in the hope that he might be sent to the Reformatory School at Red-hill. The prisoner had been in prison before. Charles Blake, 21, a machine ruler, was sentenced to
