ROYAL COMMISSION. The royal assent was given to the Fisheries (North America) Bill. The commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Argyle, sad the Earl of Hardwicke. Their lordships adjourned during pleasure. The LORD CHANCMLLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. The Earl of STR4DBROKE presented a petition numerously signed praying for the repeal of the act passed last session respecting the sale of beer. The noble earl suggested that he could not support the prayer of the petition. THE LAND TRANSPORTS—TREATY WITH TURKEY. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH moved for a copy of the despatch from the War Department to Lord Raglan,. dated Jan. 20, relative to the formation of land transport, The noble earl also inquired when the ratifi cation of the treaty that had lately been entered into with Turkey for the formation of a foreign legion would be laid on the table ? He was desirous of making a few observations en the treaty, but he thought he had better postpone doing so until to-morrow, when he understood the second reading of the New Enlistment Bill would be proceeded with. The Earl of CLARENDON said be could not inform the noble earl when the treaty alluded to would be laid on the table, as it was not expected it would be ratified before six weeks. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH—I am extremely sorry to hear that six weeks are likely to elapse before the treaty can be ratified. Why, my lords, six weeks is a campaign ! If you do not raise the 'men before that time, it is possible that they would not be able to take part in the war. Lord PANMURE was understood to say that there would be no objection to the production of the despatch asked for by the noble earl. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH—There are two points to which I wish to direct the noble lord's attention, in reference to the formation of the land transport. But these two points are points which ap- pear to me as being most essential--first, that the director-general of the land transport shall be made responsible for the finding of the necessary provi sions for the support of the animals to be employed in the service, and that they should not be at all dependent for such support upon the Commissariat. The other is, that he should have at his ent:ra disposal the sea trans ports by which these animals are to be conveyed. PURCHASERS PROTECTION AGAINST JUDGMENTS BILL. Their lordships then went into committee on this bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR said_ he had a few amendments to make to some of the clauses. Lord ST. LEONARDS having explained some of the clauses, The bill passed through committee, and having been reported, Their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair shortly before four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Sir G. C. Lxivis took the oaths and his seat on hie election for Radnor, in the room of his deceased father. ROYAL COMMISSION. Mr. Pullman, the Yeoman 'Usher of the Black Rod, appeared and summoned the house to attend at the bar of the House of Lords to hear the royal assent giren by commission to the Fisheries Bill. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a second time and or dered to be committed :—Banger Markets and Public Institutions ; Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire and Great Western Railways ; Bridport Railway ; Great Western mad Brentford Railway ; Hoarwithy Bridge ; Honiton Road ; Lancaster Water and Gas; London and Brassingtou Road ; St. Helen's Improvement ; Sligo Gas ; Somerset Central Railway ; Tormoham and St. Mary Church Gas ; Torquay Water ; Uphill and Blea don Road ; Weston-siper-Mare Gas ; Wolverhampton Corporation Water ; Dursland and Midland Railway. EAST AND WEST INDIA DOCK BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Sir J. DUKE said the object of this bill was to repeal a clause in the Dock Act of 1799, and if it was carried it would have the effect of seriously taxing the public. The clause proposed to be repealed made certain ex emptions in favour of goads trans-shipped by lighter- Men, and if the company succeeded in carrying this ' bill it would be a gross vi o l a ti on o f th e compact under which they obtained their original act. The company bad the advantage of being wharfingers and dock owners, besides the use of part of the Thames, to the great detriment of the trade and port of London, And they ought to be satisfied with that position without seeking to extend their monopoly. Mr. GREGSON supported the bill when the docks were originally under the consideration of Parliament. The wharfingers of London made a claim of 3,000,000/. for compensation, but on considering their case Parlia ment thought 600,0001. would be amply sufficient to meet their claims. The demand of these gentlemen now was equally as modest as it was then ; they wanted to perpetuate a state of things whieh enabled them to have the services of the company without paying for them. Mr. MITCHELL_ viewed this measure not as a pri vate, but as a public bill, and since he thought it would unjustly affect the trade and commerce of the country, be should oppose the second reading. It would inflict a monstrous injustice upon both private wharfingers and merchants by compelling the latter to have their goods landed in the docks, no matter whether it was for their convenience or not, and he hoped the house would not affirm the principle of this bill. Mr. BOUVERIE said if he bad to decide upon the merits of this bill, he should say the Dock Company had not' made out a case for it, but that was not the ques tion: which the house had to decide ,• they bad to deter . mine whether a sufficient ground had been made out for departing from the ordinary practice of referring a pri vate bill to the consideration of a select committee. He did not think any such ground had been made out, and he hoped, therefore, the house would pass the second reading. Mr. A. PELLATT opposed the second reading, be lieving that the bill was a violation of the compact en tered into with Parliament and the country when the original act was passed. Mr. CARDWELL stated the facts of the case in a few words. When the docks were originally made certain privileges were conferred upon the com pany ; first, they were allowed to obtain a frontage to the river ; secondly, they were empowered to build warehouses, and become wharfingers ; and thirdly, they were empowered to charge a toll upon all seagoing Yes els using their waters ; but they were expressly prohibited from levying any charge upon lighters entering the docks to transship goods. Now, the object of this bill was to repeal that prohibition ; I ?nt before Parliament could consent to such a repeal, a strong case must be made out in its favour. He for one thonght no such case had been made out, and bad ther e f in .. h e second Tes,dlus:me down prepared to vote against the Mr. 11ElsileE show Said, although he was a dock pro prietor, he d yet vote against the second retd ing of the bill, becaus e it would upset a bargain wh _le the company had long ago assented to and the public I had confirmed. - Mr. T. BARING thought the house was not a fit tri bunal to decide this q ues t ion. It should be referred to carefully g one in a Commiee up to stairs, where the wait case could be and stigm atised arum their WILLIAMS opposed the bill, it as s n unjust attempt to tax the public ag consent. Mr. LINDSAY suppo r te d the bill , as he saw no rea son why a barge should be allowed to use the docks free of charge any more than s hi p s. He h oped the boos : would not protect the interest of the wharfing er and t liglitermifn at the expense e of the docks. Mr. MUNTZ recommended th e proprietors to with draw the bill, as the dock char g es of London were al ready so excessive that they were fast drawing the trade sway from the port. The house then divided, when there appeared, For the second reading 249 Against it Majority The bill was aecordirgiy thrown out. The London Dock Bill and the St. Katherine's Thek Bill were withdrawn.

Napier. THE INDIAN BUDGET. Mr. DANDY SEYM OUR wished to ask the President of the Board of Control, whether Mr. Marshman, the editor of The Friend of Indict, now held the office of Bengalee Interpreter to Government, and whether be had a paper contract from the Government ? Also, why Mr.Marshman was allowed an access to public documents which was refused to other newspaper editors in Calcutta? And also, at what period of the session the President of the Beard of Control proposed to bring hi his Indian budget this year ? Sir C. WOOD could not answer the two first ques tions with reference to Calcutta, as he had no informa tion upon the matters alluded to. With regard to the last question, the financial papers upon which the state ment would be founded would be in the hands of mem bers early in May, and he should be prepared to make a statement as soon afterwards as the state of public busi ness would allow. R AJAH BROOKE. Mr. DRUMMOND wished to ask the First Lord o, the Treasury, whether he would lay on the table of the house the report of the commissioners appointed to try Sir James Brooke for acts for which Sir James had pre viGusly received the approbation of the Government, and had been rewarded with honours by the Crown ; and, at the same time, a copy of the secret instructions sent out by the Earl of Clarendon to tie commissioners who were selected by order of her Majesty's Ministers to act as the judges of Sir James Brooke ? Lord PALMERSTON said the report of the Com missioners had not yet been received, and therefore it could not be laid upon the table. No secret instructions had been sent out: THE WOUNDED IN THE CRIMEA. Mr. WATSON wished to ask the Prime Minister, or the Under Secretary of the War Department, what measures had been taken or were in progress for the removal of the convalescents, or the patients capable of removal, in the hospitals at Scutari or in the Crimea, to England or to some of our Mediterranean colonies, for the perfect restoration of their health ? Lord PALMERSTON raid a comm i ss i on was sent out by the Duke of Newcastle to inquire into the condi tion of the hospitals, and to recommend such changes as they might think right and proper, and to report them not merely to the Government at horn., but to Lord Raglan. Lord Raglan was requested to act upon those recommendations without delay. It wac, tts. 1.4.. tion of bin no to friond nF. the head of the War Department to make arrangements for a periodical ser vice between Constantinople and the Crimea can the one hand and England on the other. On the arrival home of such invalids as might be in a condition to be trans ported by sea, arrangements would be made for their re ception in proper and suitable hospitals. BONDS ON BRITISH TRADE IN CHINA. In answer to a question from Mr. HORSFALL, Lord PALMERSTON said that with regard to the question whether instructions had been sent out to her Majesty's Superintendent of Trade in China to cancel the bonds taken on British trade at Shanghae between the 9th February and 12th July, 1854, Sir John Bow ring had been instructed to inquire into the circumstances under which those bonds were given, and to make a full report upon the matter, and /also other matters in suspense, to her Majesty's Government for its consideration. Relative to the second point, as to whe ther instructions have been given, or intended to be given, to her Majesty's Superintendent of Trade in China to interdict the interference of the Consular Courts in China in reference to all the bands and securities taken on British trade since the expulsion of the Imperial Cus toms authorities from Shanghae by the insurgents in 1853. Sir John Bowring had been informed that no proceed ings could be taken in the common law courts with re gard to these bonds ; but he had been instructed to cancel them and return them to the parties by whom they were given. With regard to bonds subsequently given, the decision upon them must be suspended until the report he had men tioned should be received on the matter generally. As to the third point in the question, it must depend on the circumstances of the case, whether decision was given on the spot, or whether reference must be made to Government at home ; but in any question at issue involving interpretation of treaties, reference ought to be made to the Government at home. With reference to the last point raised, instructions had been forwarded to Sir John Bowring, to urge on the Chinese Govern ment the:?ropriety of levying duties with perfect impar tiality between nation and nation. SUPPLY OF CLOTHING TO THE ARMY. In reply to Mr. NaWDIGATE, Mr. F. PEEL stated that the War Department was in communication with the Horse Guards as to the best description of summer clothing to be sent out to the troops in the East. The War Department had given orders to supply 3,000 tents, which were nearly ready. RECALL OF LORD LUCA.N. In reply to Mr. C. BERKLEY, Lord PALMERSTON said it was true that Lerd Lucan had been recalled some time ago, in consequence of differences which hal arisen between him and the Commander-in-chief. THE VIENNA COMMISSIONER. Col. SIBTHORP inquired what pay Lord J. Russell was to receive for going to Vienna? ( Laughter.) Lord PALMERSTON said his noble friend would receive no salary whatever, but as was usual on such missions, his clear expenses would be paid and no more. Colonel SIBTHORP—I suppose these won't be small. (A. laugh.) NEWSPAPER STAMPS. In reply to Mr. GIBSON, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was afraid he should not be able to bring on his news paper stamp measure for discussion to-night, but it would be advantageous if he were allowed to take the pre liminary resolution to-night with the view of fcundinglthe bill upon which the discussion would properly take place. In reply to another question, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that the passing of the resolution would not immediately remove the stamp, that would have to abide the fate of the bill. THE WAR. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. LAYARD rose to call attention to the presen critical state of public affairs. He said he was afraid, from what he had heard whispered about, that an arrangement would be come to between the'hon. and learned member for Sheffield (Mr. Roebuck) and the Government, which would have the effect of stifling that enquiry into the state of the army which the country so ardently desired.

ROEBUCK'S RESOLUTION. (From the Times of !his day.) The last news from the Crimea will have very little the character of news to those who derive their informa tion from any other than official returns. " The re mainder of the British army, hardly 10,000 men, will be reorganized, and defend the upper valley of the Tcher naya and Balaklava." Now, it is true there is nothing inglorious in the position, nothing light in the duty l e ft to our countrymen. t is still the post of danger. When it is noticed that there are associated with us the French Imperial Chard and a large body of Turks, it may be surmised that the next great battle will be in the quar ter indicated by these new arrangements. In fact, we form the covering army, rendered necessary by the re cent augmentation of the Russian army in the field. But how much has the enemy increased, and how much are we diminished, when such an arrangement becomes ne cessary, when all that we can do is to contribute a con tingent to the covering army ! We are reduced, in fact, to that " thin red line," which, doubtless, will still form an effectual barrier to clouds of Cossacks And columns of infantry ; but the scientific honours of the siege and the glory of the assault are now resigned to the French. This new fact will hardly be considered to weaken the case for inquiry. The chief objection to that inquiry was, that it might interfere with the operations of the siege ; but our part in the siege itself seems now at an end, and no injury to the common cause can arise from the inquiry why the British army could no longer hold its own. Everybody admits that there must be inquiry some time or other, and one member of the Cabinet has expressed an opinion that it ought to be made without any delay. Mr. Sidney Herbert told his electors in Wiltshire the other day that the losses of our army "may, and must be, attributed to causes that require a searching investigation, in order that the proper remedy may be applied, and that the blame, if blame there be, should fall on the right shoulders. This in quiry it behoves the Government to lose no time in in stituting." Rather unhappily, Mr. Sidney Herbert, after claiming for Government the duty of conducting this inquiry, betrays the bias, and consequently the con clusion, any inquiry by Government is likely to have. He proceeds to ascribe the ruin of our army in the Crimea to a popular jealousy of the existence of a standing army in time of peace, in the face of the fact that we have had a standing army sufficient for any purpose of military erlucation during the whole of the peace, and that Parliament has ever been lavish of purpoon. When such is the result which a Cabinet Minister expects from inquiry, there can be little doubt that, in such hands, it will lead to no other reform than simply more of everything —more soldiers, more officers, more materiel ; more of all that Parlia ment has to vote, except only that one simple thing, without which an expenditure of 100,000,0001. will only bo so much money thrown away—promotion and em ployment by merit, and not merely by money, rank, and interest. Bat when a Cabinet Minister tells the House of Commons that it has ruined our army, and exposed it to certain destruction in the hour of trial by keeping it below the level of efficiency, that House of Commons certainly will show much more meekness and hu mility than are common in Englishmen, if it either gives up its demand for inquiry or leaves the inquiry in the hands of its accusers. Were the inquiry to be con ducted at head-quarters in the Crimea, no doubt the re port would be decidedly against the departments at home; and so, also, if any one department were made the judge of the rest. In this case we beg to submit that the House of Commons is the only fair umpire, in asmuch as it cannot exculpate itself, and will be driven by the mere instinct of self-preservation to find out fairly and fully where the fault really lies. We see no reason, then, to depart from our original opinion, that the House of Commons is the hest tribunal for the inquiry, even though there may be good reasons in favour of a mixed commission from the two Louses. It is impossible, however, to pronounce upon projects in the abstract, as they may immediately assume an ob jectionable form, and this we are very much concerned to say is the case in this instance, Mr. Roebuck has delivered his own cause over to the hands of his enemy by the very extraordinary selection he has made for his committee. Besides himself, he proposes Mr. Drum mond, Mr. Layard, Sir Joseph Paxton, Lord Stanley, Mr. Ellice, Mr. Whiteside, Mr. Disraeli, Mr. George Butt, Mr. Lowe, and Me. Miles. Such a tribunal may be an inquisition, but it will not be a jury in the English sense of that term. Eight of these gentlemen, consti tuting a most comfortable working majority, are noto riously of opinion that the late Government were chiefly to blame, and that the same organisation in the hands of a better Premier or Minister of War would have saved us these disasters. The sense of responsibility might, perhaps, lead Mr. Disraeli, Lord Stanl e y, M r . Drum mond, and Mr. Roebuck himself, and even Mr. Miles, to go deeper into the matter, but the ordinary partisan would be much more disposed to give a more personal turn to the verdict. Anyhow, every member and every friend of the late Government would be fully justified in challenging the constitution of such a committee from this to Easter—as long, indeed, as the war is likely to last. We shall not here criticise the names one by one, for the simple reason that their value and significance in such an inquiry are notorious to everybody who knows anything about the matter ; and we are quite sure that the worst enemies of the late Government will not damage their own reputation, or forego their own instincts of justice, by demanding to see it tried before such a panel. The only result of this singular selection to leave the game once more in the hands of her Majesty's Ministers, who have only to show a little more discretion than their antago nist, and they may make it a drawn battle. They may either propose a committee of their own, somewhat more fairly constituted, or the mixed commission we have al ready suggested. This is not the time for offering simple obstruction to the declared wishes of the House of Corn mons. We cannot believe that, after so overwhelming a majority in favour of an inquiry, it will suddenly be come indifferent to the object of its professed solicitude, and permit the very men whom it drove out of power to put off the inquiry, on which everything hinges, to the Greek calends. The position claimed by Government is, that they do not resist inquiry, but only desire to postpone it to a more convenient season—at all events, till the immediate pressure is gone. This goes on the supposition that the inquiry is not really required for the better administration of the war, and that it can only be conducted in a man ner injurious to our cause. We are prepared to con test both these suppositions. Up to this very day the mode in which the war is carried on—the- ap pointments made the recalls not made the half ! measures the unintelligible measures adopted with officers admitted fo have lost the confidence of Govern-, meet, all prove that inquiry is wanted, and now more than ever. It is equally unnecessary to assume that the inquiry by a committee of the House of Commons, or a mixed commission of both houses, armed with the pro per authority, must be conducted in a way to serve the cause of the enemy more than our own. The House of Commons might itself take care, by a proper instruction to the committee, that no question was asked of this dangerous character. Were the inquiry confined in the first instance to the "past physical condition of the army," as Mr. Roebuck expresses it, to the system cf the commissariat and the medical service, to the conduct of the officers in those two departments, to the condition and management of the shipping and stores at Balaklave, and to the land and naval transport services, we cannot see what secrets of importance need be disclosed to the enemy, or what officers of importance need be sum moned from the Crimea. Never was there a better time for entering on such an inquiry in a candid, and even a friendly spirit. The House of Commons, like the peo ple it faithfully represents, is deeply grieved at these disasters, and will not rest till it has done its utmost to obviate their recurrence, but it has no ill-feeling towards Government, no desire to incriminate one man rather than another, or any man at all, and only wishes to see the system reformed as quickly and as quietly as may be, and with the least possible inconvenience to the Govern. ment, charged with the responsibility of the great war. THE SADDLD ON THE RIGHT HORSE. (Prom the Examiner.) Mr. Sidney Herbert deals in riddles. He assures big Wiltshire constituents that our army in the Crimea is one of the finest and noblest that ever left the shores of England, yet, presently afterwards, we are informed that this same army had been so used and distributed that it was not likely at the commencement of the war that it would be perfect for all the purposes of warfare. So that the army, which is one of the finest and noblest that ever left our shores, has this one fault of lacking perfection for all the-purposes of war—that is to say, in one word, that, fine as it is, it is not fit for its business. But this is not all, nor the worst. The fine and noble army is in the next breath pronounced no army. "In time of peace," declares Mr. S. Herbert, " we have had no such thing as an English army." So the boast of the fiaest'and noblest army that ever left our shores was all fudge, and there was no army whatever in the proper sense of the word. "We have," explains Mr. Herbert, "no army but a collection of regiments." And, carry. ing on the same distinction, it may be ■aid that we have no regiments but collections of companies, and again, no companies but collections of men. The meaning, how ever, at which Mr. Herbert is driving through these paradoxical assertions is, that our forces have been dis tributed in small parts, and that there is no practice in acting in large masses or handling them. This is true undeniably, but it is not a troth which will account for the extent of the miscarriage which we have new to deplore. "In every other conntry in the world," said Mr. S. Herbert, "an army is a collection of regiments, and other countries know how to move, to feed, and to or ganise large masses of men. In England, on the other hand, this is never the case till the time of actual war fare arrives, and then you expect men to learn their duty and to execute it at one and the same time." And, notwithstanding all difficulties, we have seen how this task has been performed, where circumstances make it most arduous, in cur Indian wars, where the movement of a given number of men requires the very largest machinery and appliances for the conveyance of stores, baggage, &c. This was the first lesson of the Duke of Wellington, who referred much of his subse quent success to such salutary schooling, and he learnt and executed the duty at the same time. But we are not to expect / the genius of Wellington in every com mander. That our system is defective is admitted on all hands, and, indeed, if it were less radically faulty, it could not be passed from peace to the exigencies of war without considerable disadvantage and rnisworking ; but, granting all this to the fullest, it is yet certain that the very worst has been made of an imperfect piece of I mechanism. Indeed nothing that has been imagined in illustration of human folly by the wit of Rabelais or Swift approaches to the extremities of fatuity whi h constitute the history of the Crimean expedition and its disasters. We challenge a single example of common sense, of common resource, of contrivance, of the !post simple of means to an end. Moliere's ridicule of medicine in his day seems to us now an extravagance, but not a whit less preposterous, and ten thousandfold more destructive, is the military pedantry with which we have now to do, and we have our Thomas Diaforus, and M. Pourceaunac's apothe caries in red coats and cocked hats, instead of black coats and perukes. How often, inieed, have the examples in the Crimea reminded us of the argument of MoUre's physician, that it is better for ?eople to die according to rule than to survive by the reach of rule, as rules are incompa rably more precious than the lives of individuals. Here is an official who will not receive a cargo of sheepskin coats, while the army is perishing of cold, without the formality of a letter. Here is an other who will net furnish stoves to prevent the spread of cholera in an hospital ship insufficiently warmed, with out a requisition July signed and countersigned. In vain the surgeon pleads that death will have the start of the forms, and that, vhile a requisition is going through its course of routine, the cold will fasten on his patients with the torture: of cholera, and spread the disease through the hospital. I❑ vain he implores the supply cf stoves on his own responsibility, paying for them if dis allowed. No ; tbo man in office is inflexible. What were disease and ceath by the worst torments compared with the observance of rule ? A cargo of ortex- arrives in time of th e sores t nee d : it is every one's want, but it is no one's business to take charge of it ; it is sent back to England. A supply of potatoes arrives when the troops were suffering front the want of vegetables, and in danger of that most terrible foe, scurvy. There is some informality, the potatoes re main on beard till they sprout, and are then made a scramble of on the beach, or flung into the sea, the ship master having In vain implored to be relieved of them for their purpose, to supply the wants of the army. Sebastopol is not the enemy. The true Sebastopol is the pedantic system of routine, the breach and stormin g of which was the one thi ng desirab!e. Our army has indeed been between two enenne.. Sebastopol, en the one hand, and on the other Balakiava held sternly against them by the officials, with within it in abundance all that they have wanted, and have been perishing for lack of. Obedience to order has been carried to such a pitch of obedience t• disorder as the world has never be fore witnessed. In the charge of the Light Divi sion at Balaklava was seen the marvellous hero ism with which English soldiers would rush upon certain death at the word of command, but there is a counterpart to this magnificent devotion, and that is to be seen in the phlegmatic composure—nay, cexcombioal complacency with which your men of offi cial routine will devote hundreds and thousands to suffering and death rather than deviate a hair's breadth from prescribed forms. There can be no pardon for this when it is considered that common humanity would have broken through all trammels and succoured the griev ously distressed troops. We should begin to have hopes of the army if we could hear but of one man, in any station of authority, who had broken through rule to do a sensible and ser viceable thing. It ia proverbially said that hunger will break through stone walls, but we have seen that it cannot break through military formalities, and we have had an army perishing for want of all necessaries lying in abundance within reach of its hand. Oh, we shall be told, the land is not leagues long, and London itself would be starved if all its supplies were to be drawn from stores os Wimbledon-common; but, waiving the question why the first care and first business were not to secure the transit from the port to the camp, we have cited examples of misconduct admitting of ne plea of difficulty of conveyance, such as the refusal of the stoves to the eurgeea in charge of the hospital ship, and half-a-hundred similar instances we could quote. Another instance of cruel and obstinate indifference to the wants of the troops is the long -continued supply of green coffee—if furnishing a thing so useful can be termed a supply. As well, or, indeed, rather better, might corn have been served out instead of bread or biscuit, and the men left to th e i r contr i vance to grind the grain into men'., and convert the meal to dough, and bake it into something eatable. After a time Lord Raglan and the c'uief commissary complained of this cruel practice, this mockery of the men's wants, but their complaints did not avail to roast or grind the coffee ; and doubtless it is held nature's fault, and not the fault of any official man, that the berry is net borne by the plant ready roasted by the sun, and fit for imme diate use. This and 100 other instances of a like kind are not traceable to defects of system, but to sheer doltishness or worse, and the systera comes in only fairly for the blame, inasmuch as it allows of such doltishness or worse in its administrators. If an account could be given of the causes by which our brave fellows have perished in the Crimea, the number of victims to official neglect or mismanagement would probably be found fourfold those who have fallen by the sword or bullet of the enemy. The blame is, of course, thrown on the climate, but whether or not a man is able to resist the influence of climate will depend on a number of circumstances in bis diet, clothing, and lodging. He wants all available ap pliances to sustain him, and ff the help of them is re fused him through neglect or any other avoidable cause, his succumbing is not to be placed to the account of climate, but to omissions which are heinously criminal. - NATAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE, The Neptune, 120, ifeto take the Wiltshire Militia to Corfu. They will be 600 strong ; and it is probable the Neptune will take out another regiment with therm, to relieve the regiments of the liiae in the Mediterranean ordered to the Crimea. The Royal George, 102, screw, Captain Codrington, C. 13., hauled out of the No. 1 dry dock, Sheerness, on Saturday afternoon, into the basin, where her lower decks are ringed ready to be hoisted on board, She goes into the stream on Tuesday or Wednesday next, being now rigged and all ataunt. From a 120 gun-ship she has been reduced to 102 guns by the poop b e i ng ta k en off. Two Lancaster guns w ill be mounted fore and aft. No doubt she will be stiffer under canvas than she for merly was. In addition to this weight aloft being re duced, she has had a quantity of pig-iron ballast stored in every possible hole in her bottom, which will tend very materially to take off and compensate for the weight aloft. Next week all her lower deck guns and provisions will be on board. The Exmouth, 91, screw, to be flag-ship of Rear-Ad miral Seymour, has been paid wages, at Devonport. The Majestic, 81, screw, Captain Hope, C.D., is still in No. 3 dry dock, Sheerness ; her main shaft is got in in the hold, and the engineers are stowing and fixing same way, &c. She is out of thel hands of the ship wrights, and will soon he ready to haul out into the basin. The Cressy, 81, screw, Captain Warren, is moored in the stream at Sheerness, manned, provisioned, and ready, at a moment's notice, for sea. The Russell, 62, screw guard-ship, Captain Scott, is still under the sheers in the Sheerness basin. Her top masts are rigged, and she progresses fast in spite of the very inclement state of the weather. She is frigate masted, and is painted, and looks exceedingly well. The Edinburgh, 58, screw block-ship, Captain Hew lett, hauled into the fitting basin at Portsmouth on Sa turday, preparatory to docking, to be refitted. The Nankin, 50, Captain the Hon. Keith Stewart, she tak es a ma i l. T which arrived at D evonport on Thursday from the East, will be paid w ages i n advance this day, and, it is said, will sailpe_:iitairpehliyon34, re on screw, daymorning for the East calling at the Cape of Good Hope, for which oolong lndies, he C ap t a i n Key, is in No. 2 dry dock, Sheerness, where she will be detained some little time longer fixing the condensing apparatus for converting salt water into fresh, &c. Thirty more boiler makers and smiths have arrived from Woolwich to bring her forward with all possible despatch ; they are working at her we way say n i ght and day, to get her f i n i shed by the first week i n M arch, but considering she has no masts in, and machinery only partly commenced putting together, we fear she will be rather behind her time. The Falcon, 17, screw-corvette, Commander Pullen, got steam up in the basin at Portsmouth en Saturday, and went into the harbour to have her compasses ad justed. The screw steam-vessel Harrier, 17, Commander Storey, 60 days f rom St. Th omas ' s, rest Indies, arrived on Friday at Plymouth, and having discharged her am munition went into Hamoaae on Saturday to have de fects made good. The steam-vessel Archer, 14, Captain G. Heathcote, from Leith, arrived at Plymouth on Saturday. Ariel, 9, screw, Commander Luce, has gone ou t o f Portsmouth Harbour to Spithead, where she takes in her powder and shell, and awaits orders. The paddle steam-vessel Bulldog, 6, Captain W. K. Hall, frock Shields, arrived at Plymouth on Saturday. The Basilisk, 6, paddle steam-sloop, Commander Jenner, arrived at Spithead from the eastward yester day. The Cuckoo, 3, paddle, Lieut. Commander Murray, is in Sheerness Harbour, haying returned on F r id a y night last from towi ng th e Melampus to Woolwich. The Lizard, 3, paddle, Lieutenant Commander Chris topher, is in Sheerness Harbour, refitting after the bad weather she experienced on the Goodwin Sands, &c. ; her paddle-boxes are being repaired, which were broken coming into contact with a collier accidentally in the dark. The Pelter, 2, screw gun-boat, tender to Excellent, was docked at Portsmouth on Saturday morning, to have her copper cleaned. THE TRANSPORT SERVICE. The Himalaya, sorw troop steam-ship, Commander B. Priest, is fitting up mess-tables on the lower decks for troops, at Portsmouth. She has already accommoda tion for 400 horses, the stalls being well arranged on each side of the main deck, and others amidships, besides about 150 on the spar deck. She has orders for three months' provisions for 500 men. The steamer Hesperus, with a railway plant and a detachment of 50 navvies, arrived at Balaklava from London, all well, on the 30th of January. On Saturday the Commissioners for the Control of the Transport Service took up vessels for the conveyance of 1,000 tons of p rov i s i ons t o th e C rimea ; as a l so camp equipages weighing 250 tons, 88 tons of waggons and tools, and 250 tons of clothing for the troops in the Crimea. ARRIVAL OF THE BASILISK AT SHEERNESS. On Friday the screw-steamer Basilisk, Commander Robert Jenner, son of the late Right Hon. Sir H. Jen ner, left her moorings at Sheerness and proceeded direct for Portsmouth. This is the sixth ship to which Com mander Jenner has been appointed as commander, viz., Royal William, Vixen, COMMIr s And COllfild, in Whi he brought home from Buenos Ayres General Rosas and a large staff. We understand he has been two years in 'the Horatio, on very harassing and anxious service, re - - - peutediy applying for an active command or promotion. The former request has been granted by his appointment to the Basilisk, but at the same time the captain who takes the Horatio and the captain he relieves, both honourables, and both most deserving officers, were in fants when Commander Jenner went to sea. The tran sition from the charge of the steam reserve to the Ba silisk, however, reduces his pay some 50/. a year. Taking into consideration his having been 29 years afloat--viz., 14 years a lieutenant (always afl;?at), and eight years a commander, ono would imagine lie would have had better chances in the army of promotion, even " without purchase." The Basilisk is new anchored at Spithead. THE SCREW TRANSPORT PERSEVERANCE.—Thix ship, which from certain untoward,circumstances, fell on her broadside in the dock, at her Majesty's dockyard, Wool wich, some time since, was " righted" on Saturday, and will soon be made ready for service. She was de signed for the Peninsular and Oriental Company by the first of living naval architects, and was built by the firm that never made a mistake in turning out the finest ships' in the world. Before: bring purchased by the Admiralty she was surveyed by Mr. Chatfield, the accomplished master shipwright of Deptford Dockyard, who reportPd inoq favout ably of her fitness for the purposes for which the Government required her. -..~- ~ __ .r.~- . __ _`.~._ _ __. __~ NEW SELF-BREECH-LOADING CARBINE. A trial of a newly.inrented self-breech-loading and priming carbine has been made at the School of Musketry at Hythe. Sixty shots can be fired from this weapon in re en minutes • out of that number, at a range of 100 yards, 47 struck the bulls eye. Total immersion in water of the carbine, loaded, did not affect its explosive power, the fus6e, being readily discharged. The rapidity of the firing did not produce the slightest derangement, the piece neither requiring oiling nor cleaning. APPOINTMENTS.

GREAT LUXEMBOURG. A meeting of the shareholders of this company was held on Friday at the Leaden Tavern, preparatory to the general annual meeting at Brussels, on the 24th inst. —Mr. W. Reed in the chair. The meeting was held by adjournment front the 19th of December last, i❑ order to afford time for the inquiries of the committee of investigation then appointed. The Secretary proceeded to read the report of the new directors, which the chairman ►aid was the only one ema nating from the board.- It stated that in compliance with the recommendation they had made at the last meeting the accounts up to the end of the year 1854 were new submitted. The whole receipts fur the year 1854 were 332,0821. 25., and there had been expended in the same year 307,1471. Bs. 9d. Of that sum, however, only 223,103/. 133. 6d. had been appropriated to the acquisition of land, the construction of the railway and canal, and the purchase of rails and chairs, and its rolling stock. There had also been expended for caution money and other expenses paid on the Grand Junction line, 20,8341, 19s. sd. ; interest on shares, 35,5471. 6s. 7d. ; and upon obligations and debentures, 10,6701. As to the first of these items, the directors expressed their re gret that the shareholders of this company were ever involved in the matter of the Grand Junction Railway, being of the opinion before expressed by them, that "to construct and finish the main line was a task quite sufficient for the time being." They also pro tested against the second item of expenditure—viz., that for interest upon shares—being continued, the unexpended funds being barely sufficient to complete and stock the railway, and they therefore recom mended the board to take the necessary steps to dis continue the payment in question ; but with respect to the interest upon the bond debt, or obligations of the company, they were of opinion that it ought still to be paid, and hoped that the opening of the line to Namur might, by furnishing at no distant date the funds for this purpose, relieve the capital account. As to the actual financial position of the company at this date, the report stated that, with very trifling exceptions, the demands of the contractors, whether for works or rolling stock, to the end of October last, had all been paid. This was ne cessary in order to preserve good faith with the contrac tors, and as a means of restoring confidence, as well as of securing the completion of the works between Brus sels and Namur. It had not, however, been effected without borrowing money to the extent of 15,0001. on the personal credit of the directors, and under a promise of repayment from the proceeds of the next call. No suitable tender has been made as yet for the construction of the remaining works on the lines. The CHAIRMAN observed that the question whether Mr. Block was a director er not involved some legal difficulty, owing to the peculiarity of the statutes. After some discussion as to the best method to be adopted in disposing of Mr. Block's claim, It was resolved on the motion of Mr. Rown, Q.C., seconded Mr. SHYMOUR, " That it is the opinion of this meeting that Mr. Bluck is not a director of this com pany, and that the beard of directors be authorised to take such measures as may be requisite to give validity to this expression of opinion." gi Mr. ATTWOOD, one of the old directore, having an nounced his resignation, The CHAIRMAN proposed the adoption of the report. A discussion of considerable length again arose as to the effect which the resignation of the directors would have, in the course of which Mr. Rowe pointed out the peculiarity of the statutes of the company, by which, so long as one of the origi nal directors remained on the board, the constituency had no power of re-election. A variety of resolutions were proposed to meet the difficulty, and eventually the following was agreed to on the motion of Mr. Macdonald, seconded by Mr. Rowe :-- "That the report of the directors be adopted, except so much as would imply the acceptance of the resignation of Mears. Close, Hutchinson, Reed, Uzielli, and Drouet, who are requested by this meeting to remain directors of the company." The CHAIRMAN recommended the adoption of the following resolution :—" That it be recommended to the meeting at Brussels on the 24th inst. to approve the accounts now presented, except in so far as they relate to the Grand Junction line, the consideration of which should be deferred till the directors have been enabled to examine the merits of that undertaking in connexion with the letter of Sir W. Magnay, and that the Board of Directors be authorised to accept the offer ef Sir W. Magnay to take the concession off their hand's, or other wise, as they would think best, after due inquiry. The report, with the recommendation it contained, was unanimously adopted. The report of the auditors having been read, Mr. I'm then called attention to the item of 58,000/. on the loan account, expressing a strong opinion that that sum could be recovered by instituting a suit in equity against the old directors. Mr. MmirEmisr, jun., believed that if the arrange ment had not failed which was the occasion ef the loan in question much advantage would have accrued to them not only by getting their stock quoted at the Paris Bourse, but by putting the company in a position to ob tain large advances, if necessary. He endeavoured to justify the part he took in the transaction. After a lengthened discussion, in which Mr. Rowe, Mr. Harvey, the chairman, and other hon. proprietors took part, the resolution proposed by the chairman was carried unanimously. Resolutions were then passed to the effect that it was expedient that the payment of interest on shares should be discontinued ; that the meeting recorded its utter disbelief of the statements which had been circulated, that the funds of the company had been employed in securing the influence of public men in Belgium, and a third empowering the directors to deal with the shares now in their hands, or which might be hereafter for feited, to the best of their judgment for the interest of the company. The auditors were re-elected, and a sum of 1001. each I voted to them for their past services, and powers were given to the directors to use whatever proxies they might obtain in securing the election at the ensuing general meeting of suitable colleagues. A vote of thank. to the chairman concluded the pro 90edingg, LAW INTELLIGENCE.—Feb. 17. CHANCERY COURTS. Mr. - Bacon and Mr. Currie, for Mr. Stordy, the sur viving devisee in trust, submitted that the trust in favour of an alien was one which this cot.rt vould not exe cute, and that at all events the trust was so uncer tain as to be void, or that this court would not in a case of such uncertainty direct a conveyance to any party, but would leave the beneficial interest in the trustee. Mr. Wigram and Mr. C. Hall appeared for Mr. Thomas Harrison. of Philadelphia, the claimant, and submitted that it bad only been found by the Master in respect to him that he was born at Philadelphia, where he was a manufacturing chemist, and that he was a citizen of the United States. It was quite consistent with the finding of the Master, that he should also be a British subject. Tke declaration of independence was in 1776 ; the treaty acknowledging the independence was in 1783. This treaty was referred to, and it was said that, although the grandfather, the brother of the tes tator, continued to reside in America, there was no evi• derce that he had thrown off his allegiance.to the crown :of England ; and John Harrison, his son, being an in fant, was incompetent to do so, and his mere continu ance to reside in America was not throwing off his alle giance ; and if that were se, then the Thomas Harrison, the present plaintiff, being the . son of a person owing allegiance to the crown of England, was himself no alien, and, therefore, entitled to have the estate conveyed to him. But even if the court should hold that he were an alien, nevertheless the title of an alien is paramount to that of every other title, except that of the Crown ; he might have suffered a recovery, he piney convey or demise, and this title the court ought to recognise, leav ing it to the Crown, if it chose, to proceed against the alien, whose title would, however, not determine until office found. Mr. Wickens, for the Attorney-General, submitted that Thomas Harrison, the claitrant, was an alien ; that he could have no title which did not vest in the Crown, and that be was entitled at once to claim a conveyance from the trustee to the Crown. Mr. Sergeant, for the heir exparte maternft, admitted that his client had no interest, and submitted that her cost ought to be provided for. Mr. Malins was beard at some length in reply. The Vice-Chancellor said he did not intend to dispose of the case at present, but he entered into a long review of the facts proved anal cases cited, particularly referring to the case of "Doe dem. Thomas v. A.udlarn," and expressed the inclination of his present opinion to be, that the plaintiff was entitled to have the property con veyed to her by way of a resulting trust. As his Ho nour has reserved his judgment, the statement of his observations has been reserved till that time. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCE!". (Before Mr. Justice Erie and Common Juries.) WITTLESEA. V. HUTWELL—ASSATJLT AND FALSE IMPRISON MENT. Mr. Pearce and Mr. Brooke appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Herne and Mr. Pearson for the defendant. The plaintiff brought this action for an assault and false imprisonment. The pleas put upon the record were not guilty, and a justification of reasonable and probable cause. In this case both the parties were tailors, and it was agreed between them that the plain tiff, for a premium of two guineas, should come to the defendant's house and give him lessons in the art of "cutting." The defendant paid him 2s. After the third lesson, defendant gave the plaintiff into custody for having stolen a silver spoon—he was. taken before a magistrate at the Lambeth Police-coUrt, and, after five remands, the case was dismissed, and the plaintiff brought this action for the false imprisonment. For the defendant evidence was called to make out this case :—After the second lesson a silver spoon was missed. On the third lesson all the spoons but one were locked up, but within half-an-hour of the plaintiff leav ing, that spoon, which had been used in the presence of the plaintiff, was missed ; and as no one she had been in the room, the defendant b e li eve d t h e plaintiff must have taken the spoon, and therefore gave him into Cus tody. The learned judge said the question for the jury was, whether they believed the defendant acted upon a rea sonable ground that the plaintiff had committed the felony. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT. IN RE EDWARD CHABERT. This insolvent, one of the Italian Brothers, known as " Edward Bouteiller," described as a gymnastic artist, applied by rule to be discharged from prison. Mr. Dowse appeared for Mr. Noakes, hotel-keeper, at Southampton ; and Mr. Reed supported the application for discharge. The insolvent had petitioned the court under the Pro tection Act. His debts were inconsiderable, and the insolvency was attributed to the want of employment, to the accident he met with at Drury-lane Theatre, and " being prohibited by Lord Palmerston from ascending with balloons." It will be remembered that the in solvent was advertised to ascend with balloons in a perilous position. - Since he filed his .petition he had been committed to prison, and now applied to be dis charged. Mr. Dowse showed cause against the rule, and con tended that the court bad no power to grant the appli cation. The insolvent bad, whilst out of prison, ob tained his protection to the 22d of March next. He had been held to bail on a judge's order, and gave bail. While out on bail he petitioned under the Protection Act, and after he obtained his protection the action vf as tried and his bail bad surrendered him to prison, where he was now detained. Mr. Dowse declared that the court had no power to discharge the insolvent, as it was expressly provided for by the act that the protection was not to discharge him from a capias to hold bail where a party contemplated quitting the country. Mr. Commissioner Phillips thought he had no power to grant the application. Mr. Reed said he held his learned friend,'Mr. Griffit's brief. He had obtained the rule. Mr. Commissioner Phillips asked what he could do in the matter ; he bad no power. Mr. Reed confessed that he had looked over the act, and could not. find any authority for the application. Mr. Commissioner Phillips said there was not only nothing for the application, but everything against it. In fact, it was expressly provided against. The rule was discharged, and the insolvent remains in durance vile. IN RD H. D. KING-ANOTERR COMMITMENT BY A COUNTY COURT JUDOS. To-day (Saturday) the discharge of this insolvent took place from Whitecross-street prison, where he bad been committed by the Cie' kenwell County Court judge for 40 days. The frequency of these cases loudly calls for some legislative enactment. Persons who petition Ruder the Protection Act are protected, as they imagine, from im prisonment, but County Court judges, notwithstanding the order of the court, issue their commitments, and tke parties are put to great expense and trouble, being placed in the " remand ward" of th e pr i son. Mr. Dowse applied for the discharge, and the application of the in solvent showed that he fil e d hi s pet i tion for protection we the 24th December, which was issued two days after wards. Soon afterwards a County Court summons was issued, returnable on the "23d" January. An order was made for payment, and in a short time a judgment summons was obtained, returnable on the 13th Pbbruary inst. An order of commitment was, however, made, and the insolvent was taken to prison. The court held that the case came within the rule laid down by the commissioners, and ordered the discharge to issue. DEPARTURR OF TER 11.1fERICIN MAILS.—The British .and North American Royal Mail steam-ship Canada, Captain James Stone, sailed from the Mersey ea Satur day, at 11.20 a.m., for Boston and Halifax, with the usual mails for the United States and British possessions in North America, 96 passengers, and a full cargo of merchandise on freight. HALIFAX, Feb. 10.—The market here today ha s Nhpira eztremo dNlaeAp itz laud every (I'm:hunt. (0 , 1 {. L RITTSON V. STORDY. In this case very important questions affecting the rights of American citizens to succeed as devisees to land in England were raised. The questions arose out of the will of John Harrison, a Cumberland farmer, whose will bore date the 16th of November, 1826. By that will the teqatur devised his messuages and hereditaments to his friernis Thomas Stordy and John Stordy and their heirs as to a certain portion thereof upon trust for the testa tor's niece for her life; and after her death, upon the following trusts. In trust "to convey all the above mentioned real estate and every part thereof to the heir at-law now in America, his heirs, and assigns for ev er ." The niece having died, Elizabeth Ilittson filed this bill against Mr. John Sturdy, the surviving trustee ; Mrs. Hannah Rooke, the testator's heir-at-law expart e materna, and her Majesty's Attorney-General, claiming that she (the plaintiff), as the heiress at law of the test atn. not an alien, was entitled to have the devised property con veyed to her. The cause was heard on the 10th March, 1852, and a decree made, by which the Master was di -rested to ascertain who Nvas the person described in the will. The rest& of the Master's advertiernents for claimants was, that one Thomas Harrison claimed to be the person entitled. It appeared he was born in 1806. He was a manufacturing chemist at Philadelphia, and was the only son of John Harrison, of the same place, who VVIV:, born in 1773, and died in 1833. This John was the son of Thomas Harrison, the only brother of the te-tator, and he emigrated from England to the United States in 1763, and died in 1815. The ca,e now came on for further consideration upon these facts. Mr. Maims and Mr. Greena, for the plaintiff, submit ted that she was not only the testator's English heir-at law, but would also be the beir-at-'avv, according to the law of England, of the two deceased Harrisons in America, if they were capable of having an heir ac cording to the law of England, and: if Thomas, the American claimant were not such heir. They submit ted that Thomas, the claimant, was clearly incapable of taking, being an alien, and that the words were not sufficient to constitute a designatio personm " heir at-law" without more, must be taken to be an heir-at-law who can properly represent that character, which a person who is not an heir, but an alien, cannot represent. They also insisted that even if the words were a sufficient de signatio personao, still the fact that the individual was an alien was so clearly a disqualification to take, that the court would not do so idle a thing as to direct the'trustee to convey to a person over whem the crown would have a paramount title, and which therefore would be a nugatory act.
