According to the latest accounts the following was the position of the detached fleet :—The Royal Albert, Hannibal, Rodney, St. Jean d'Acre, Princess Royai, Agamemnon, Algiers, Sidon, Leopard, Inflexible , Swa . - low, and Beagle, at amiesh, The Tribute and Spite ful% off Sebastopol. The Highflyer, off Bertsch. The Leander, Diamond, Wasp, and Vesuvius, at Balaklava. The Vulcan, Megmra, and Simoom are gone to Genoa for Sardinian troops. The hired screw-steam transport Victory, Capt. Vere Item, having been surveyed by Messrs. Coming and Mare for the Board of Trade, and inspected by Mr. Brown, Master Attendant, left Plymouth Sound yes terday morning for the Crimea with the staff of General Vivian. A detachment of the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards, consisting of 1 officer, 1 sergeant, 30 men, and 60 horses, marched from Dundalk on Thursday, and arrived in Dublin on Saturday, to await embarkation to join the reglresent in the Crimea. . . A. detachment of the 14th Regiment, consisting of 1 field-officer, 2 captains, 3 subalterns, 6 serjeants, 2 drum men, and 154 men, arrived in Dublin on Friday from Mußinger; and proceeded by railway to Cork on Satur day to await embarkation, to form a portion of the depot battalion at Malta. Large draughts from the depots in Limerick garrison proceeded on Friday to the seat of war. A large con course of persons witnessed their departure. The steam-transport Indiana, which arrived at Spithead at 6 o'clock on Friday morning with 263 military invalids from Scutari went into Portsmouth harbour about 12 o'clock on Saturday. The Acting-Assisting Quarter master-General Dalgettythen went on board, andarraoged for the cases that required stretchers, to be removed at once into sick quarters at Portsmouth ; these were only 17 iu number ; those who go to the Invalid Depot at Chatham remain on board ship until this morning, when they will land and proceed by railway. The invalids have received unremitting attention from Mr. John Macdo nald, M.D., surgeon of the Indiana, and in charge of the invalid troops. The Indiana is a most admirably fitted-up ship, better than any we have seen yet, for the. comfortable - accommodation of sick and wounded, having been- originally fitted up for German emigrant, of a superior class. The Medway, whi c h a l so arr i ve d at Spithead at the same early hour on Friday morning as the Indiana, was not taken into harbour yesterday— upwards of 50 hours after reporting herself. The captains could get no one to authorise their coming in on Saturday morning. Fhe Port-Admiral had gone two days previously to the Downs with a squadron of honour for the Empe ror of the French ; the Admiral Superintendent of the Dockyard, and pro. tern. acting Commander-in-ekief, was sitting as president of the court-martial on the officers of the Tiger, and he does not appear to have de. puted anybody to do the duties of the port during his engagement on board the Victory, for his flag-lieu tenant told the capta n of the Indiana, that he could not see the Admiral, but if he (the captain) chose to take his (the flag-lieutenant's) leave to bring the ship in he might; and this the captain accepted. These two enormous ships, the one of 2,367 tons, the other up wards of 1,800, each cost the country upwards of 50s. per ton per day. The case of the latter ship is peen. liar!y bad, as she only brought 25 invalids altogether; and they might have been sent into harbour in one of the ship's boats an hour after arrive!, if the Crown could not spare one of the thousand in port for that duty. The fact is, some experienced, active officer who knows the work and how to do it, is, and has ,ong been, wanted at Portsmouth as an unfettered and responsible manager of transports. The Odin, 16, paddle-frigate, Captain Wilcox, went out of Portsmouth harbour, after fitting her new cylinder covers, &c., on Saturday, and anchored at Spit head while she took in powder, &c., after which she steamed away for the Downs, to join the guard of honour for the Emperor of the French under Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane. The Crane, 6, Commander Miller, sailed in company. The Rosamond, 6, paddle sloop, Commander S. L. Crofton, arrived at Spithead from Devonport yesterday morning, with 20 new boats of various descriptions, and new stores, and was reported to leave in the evening for the Downs, taking despatches for Sir Thomas Cochrane, and parcels, &c., for the sq uadron, w hich were put on board her by the steanetug Pigmy. The Great Britain steam transport left Portsmouth on Saturday morning with the troops we reported on Sa turday.

THE MILITIA. The Duke of Lancaster's Own Artillery (formerly the Royal Lancashire), a fortnight ago mustered about 1,000 strong ; but about one half that number had vo lunteered under the act of 1852, and when the regiment was embolied for permanent service they almost unani mously took advantage of the provision enjoining only 56 days' service in each year, and returned to their homes. the remainin g p or ti on o f t h e reg i ment, h av i ng joined the service under the recent act, were embodied, and placed on garrison duty at the new battery, north of the Huskisson Dock, Liverpool. On Saturday, headed by the band, and accompanied by a piece of ar tillery, they marched through the town. Recruiting for the regiment is rapidly proceeding, and it is anticipated that it will speedily regain the full complement. Nearly 600 non-commissioned officers and privates of the 2d West York Light Infantry, now stationed at Sheffield, have been attested for foreign service by Colo nel Smyth, M.P., during the past week. Colonel Smyth, with the concurrence of his brother officers, has recommended Captain (Adjutant) Cobbe to the lieu tenant-coloneloy of the regiment, vacated by the re signation of Lieutenant-Colonel Brandling. The regi ment volunteered for foreign service in October last, and are daily expecting the route for Gibraltar or the lonian Islands. The service companies will proceed to Portsmouth in two divilicas in the course of this week, and will remain there until shipping is provided for their accommodation. The following officers will pro ceed abroad—Lieut.-Col. Cobbe, Major Crompton, Cap tains Carroll, Thompson, Sutton, Price, and Stanhope ; Lieutenants Brown, Wilkinson, Duesbury, English, Cleg horn, Lette, and Baxendale ; Ensigns Lloyd, Wilson, Stoddaxt, and Ick ; Quartermaster Linford, Surgeon Paley, Captain and Adjutant Ewen. About 150 men will remain at home, and will be stationed at the regi mental depot at York, under the command of Major Van Straubenzie. The strength of the regiment on the 31st ult. was 940 men of all ranks. The 3d West York Regiment of Militia, now stationed at Richmond Barracks, Dublin, which but a few days ago was one of the most efficient and best disciplined regiments in the service, is now reduced almost to a skele ton, in consequence of the number of men who have availed themselves of Lord Panmure's order to return to their homes. On the receipt of that order Colonel Loftin, after having consulted with the General of the Forces, Lord Seaton, who authorised him to give to each men who would consent to be attested for permanent duty a month's furlough, in addition to the supplementary bounty of 11., assembled the regiment in the Barrack square, and called upon them, as Englishmen, not to desert the old colours of the regiment at a time when their services were so much required by the country, re minding them of the good opinions they had won and the high state of discipline they had attained ; but, not withstanding this appeal, only 121 volunteered to re main on duty, while 329 availed themselves of the oppor tunity of leaving the service. If Lord Panmure's order had been received two or three days later nearly all the recusants would have been sworn in for foreign service. It is understood that the regiment will shortly be re moved to England to recruit. Tile regiment could not now go abroad unless it obtained a draught from some other corps, ae it is about 250 short t f its complement. From the three militia regiments stationed at Dublin be tween 700 and 800 men were dismissed to their homes last week. A detachment of the Nokbamptonshire Militia, con sisting of 307 men and 8 officers, arrived lr . ) steam at ' Liverpool from Dublin on Saturday morning, under the command of Lieut.-C ilonel Lord Burghley ; and the re mainder arrived at the same port yesterday morning. They proceeded to Northampton. The Cunard steamer Cambria left Liverpool on Satur day for Dublin, having on board 100 horses, intended for the cavalry remount at the seat ~f war. She had in tow the clipper ship Crest of tho Wave, with a further complement hor-e4 on board. The Anglesey regiment of Militia, which a fortnight ago numbered upwards of 300, has now dwindled down to about 20 or 30 men. The discharge of so many to whom an instalment of bounty money was due has pro duced great commotion, in Beaumaris. The officers were in many instances set upon by the discharged men, and had to draw their swords to enforce obedience or to pre vent violence. Several drunken riots have occurred, one of which very nearly terminated fatally to a militia man, who received a severe wound in the bead. The majority of the few retained cannot claim their &Behar ze, but some of them have been re-attested and received additional bounty. Among these symptoms of insubor dination have been manifested, and no picket could be mustered to patrol the streets. A memorial has been presented to the authorities by the inhabitants of Beau maris, praying for the removal of the militia corps. The Roscommon and Longford Militia Regiment, it, is said, will be quartered at Athlone for drill, previous to being encamped on the Curragh. - On Saturday Lieut.-General Thomas arrived in Ar magh from Belfast for the purpose of inspecting the Ar magh Regiment. When the inspection had concluded, the regiment proceeded to the Mall for the purpose of going on with their usual drill, and were followed by General Thomas, Col. the Earl of Gosford, Liout.-Col. Caulfeild, and the other officers, where the General again expressed himself in complimentary terms. When they returned to barracks Colonel the Earl of Gosford formed them into a hollow square, and having stated that all the officers had expressed their readiness to volunteer for foreign service, he inquired if the men were willing to f)llow them ; to which consent was immediately given in three hearty cheers. The colonel then asked if there was any dissentient, and, if so, that he would step out ; hut, to the honour of the corps, not one man left the ranks, and he was again responded to by three hearty cheers. LOSS OF HER MAJESTY'S SHIP TIGER. COURT-MARTIAL ON THE FIRST LIEU TENANT AND MASTER. PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 14. The members of the court-martial re-assembled this morning on board the flag-ship Victory, in Portsmouth harbour, pursuant to adjournment from the previous afternoon. Rear-Admiral Martin presided, the other members of the court consisting of Lord G. Paulet, of the Bellerophon ; Capt. E. Ayres, St. George ; Capt. Gordon, Victory ; Capt. Harris, Illustrious ; Capt. Wilcox, Odin ; Capt. Caldwell, the Duke of Wellington ; Capt. Elliot, St. Vincent ; Capt Seymour, Pembroke ; Captain Farquhar, Malacca ; and Capt a i n rispin, Royal yacht. On the opening of the cone Tne President inquired of Lieutenant Royer if he was prepared with his defence ? L eotenent Royer said that he was; but that many of the certificates that he bad received were burnt in the Tiger. He had, however, obtained a few from officers under whom he had served, whilst others had been sent to him without application on his part, which he would lay before the court. Lieutenant Royer then said—After a continuous servi tule in the Royal Navy extending over 25 years, I find myself placed in the painful position of a prisoner, in con sequence of being the surviving officer of her Majesty's late ship Tiger. The charges for which lam now on my trial involve, first, the stranding of the ship whilst I was officer of the watch ; and second, my conduct after she got on shore, with regard to the manner in which I carried out my duty as first lieutenant in our endeavours to get her off as well as in her subsequent surrender. In answer to the first part of these charges, I have only to state that whilst officer of the watch on the occasion of her strandin g , I took every p recaut i on i n my power for her safe conduct by having the leads constantly hove from the chains, eaQing and stopping her for the purpose of ascertaining the correctness of the soundings. I re , ported to the captain when I thought it naost one pessary, and although the speed of the ship during my watch was not above 5 knots, I was most careful to run no risk of shoaling the water too suddenly. The look-outs wera frequently visited by myself, as I walked on the bridge and paddle-boxes, and, notwithstanding its being daylight during the watch, I purposely kept two men on Fthe look-out, instead of following the usual order of placing a mastheadman at the masthead, it being so very foggy. and although I was usually relieved at five a.m., with the captain's knowledge, according to the custom of the ship, to enable me to attend to my duties as first lieu tenant, yet as the captain had left orders that the ship was to Le steered N. by W. (nothing to the north) until we struck 10 fathoms, I remained on the quarter-deck until they were obtained, when the officer who had re lieved me reported to the captain, and whilst he was be- low in the cabin the water shoaled to seven fathoms, when I at once ordered the engines to be eased, and I can show by the evidence of the cabin-door sentry (Alfred Parker) that I reported to the captain at this time. Mr. Wilkinson, on returning to the deck, found the master and myself standing near the ladder, when he repeated the orders he had just received from the captain, and then passed on to the bridge. Jt was then that I went down to report the soundings to the captain. h O inh n i t % return from the cabin, knowing the order captain had given to Vie officer of . the watch,. W I was nut alarmed at finding the water still shoaling, w uch it continued to do rapidly, from 5 to 21- fathoms, and be fore any orders could be given she had struck. I weuld respectfully tLe attention of this hon. court, to the evi:ience of Baker and Gill, who state that they saw the land but did not report it to ni e, peitherdtidion an o y one else, therefore clearing me of any imputa carelessness or neglect on so i mportant a point. On the ac coed porti.;n of the charges for which I stand le:fore this hon. court, viz., that of - my conduct subsequent to the stranding of the ship, as regards my exertioiss in our end eavour toget her off, I would reepecjul i .Y i that, on the morning in question, I acted strictly in c rdance with the captain's orders, carrying out to the 1 utmost the wishes he expressed. In the evidence of tewttitttiStone he has stated that the captain asked positiOu, a u( l' h , e , l <elge-ancleor was laid out in the best manner ; h ut b `u.a,t /%13 , answer was in a disrespectful • ca ll , I shall p y ro z v ue answe r of the officers whom 5 l shall ' times with the utmost "'Poet 'This hon, court will direct my att ent i on tu aerons duties to which I had to such as lightening the thi 4 - unfortunate occasion, fire in the store-room, • 814 1 1 , attendi ng a t th e I ready for l ay i ng out, aria the anchor and cable at the same moment.' I wnlat,3, other occupations, f duties xi directed by my . eirpaiPnrei.l7.4teilding these Ii carried on her defence, and, All considered the it to the judgment of this hon. court those circumstances, I could be cons sible agent ? With regard to the latter Pa l 7t res P" . charge, as to my conduct duri ng h er subsequel l i a t f r t 4t. render, I have briefly to state that as the captain retained THE SUN ) LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 16, 1855. the command of the ship until be had ordered the Rus- j sian engi ; :rn to he hoisted, and an officer to with a flag of truce to announce our surrender, I consider that any effort on my part to aid the escape of the ship's conipan3t, had it been practicable (our flag being struck), would have been a breach of honour, nor could it have been dine with due regard to the safety of the wounded, or ourselves, considering the enormous force of the enemy which by this time had collected. Had any loss of life arisen from my taking such a course, I should ever have considered myself most culpable. With your permission I will now put in my certificates. The first certificate was from Captain Burnack Pop ham, of the Pelican, which stated that Lieut. Royer had erved under him on the west coast of Africa, and during the whole period his conduct was that of a most able and highly-intelligent officer. The next was from Captain Craigie, of the Scout, who spoke of Lieut. Royer's services in the most flattering terms. Lieut. Royer, from the Scout, went to the Melville, from the captain of which vessel he received a certificate to the same effect. A certificate to the same effect was read from Captain Grey, of the Belvidere. He also read letters from the first lieutenant of the Favourite, and from officers in other ships, all stating that Captain Giffard and Lieut. Royer were on the strict est terms of friendship. The President—Do you call any witnesses ? Lieut. Royer raid he proposed to call a few for the purpose of contradicting the evidence given by Baker and Gi I, who would state that they never heard land reported to him on the morning of the 12th of May ; and from their position at the time, if any such observations had been made to him, they must have heard them. The following witnesses were then called by Lieutenant Royer, in his defence : Alfr©d Parker, sentry at the cabin door on the I2th of May, sworn. Lieutenant Royer—Did I come down to the captain to make a report when the Tiger was lost ? Yes. Did you hear what passed ? Yes. The first lieutenant reported soundings. Have you any recollection of what they were ? I think they were seven. The President—How often did Lieutenant Royer come down ? Twice. Captain Crispin---Did you hear what the captain said to Lieutenant Royer I No, I did not ; the captain spoke very slow. Captain Caldwell—At what time was that ? About two bells. About what time was the last time ? Directly the ship struck. What interval of time was there between the first and second time of Lieutenant Royer going to the captain '1 About three-quarters of an hour, as near as I can re collect. J. H. Scudamora sworn. Lieut. Royer—Do you remember my coming on deck on the morning of the 12th of May ?—Yes, about 5.40. What were you on board the Tiger at the time of the wreck ?—Acting second master. Hove long were you in the Dragon and Tiger, to the be , t of your recollectionl—About four years. What is your opinion of my general demeanour to wards my captain during that period ?—Respectful in every way. Dr. Doraville sworn. Lieut. Royer—flow long were you with Cant. Giffard and myself in the Tiger ?- -Three year+ and eight months. What is youropinlon of my genera' demeanour towards Capt. Giffard during that period ?—lnvariably respectful. Mr. Wilkinson, mate, sworn. Lieut. Royer—How long were you with Cap'. Gifford and my , elf in the Tiger and Dragon ?—I think four years. What is your opinion of my general demeanour to war's Captain Gifford during that period ?—lt was always roost respectful. Li-utena,nt Royer said, he would call no further wit nesses, unless it was the desire of the court that he should do so. The Pre4(lent—You must exercise your own discre tion as to that. Lient. Rover—Then I will call nofurther witnesses. The President—ls the master prepared with his de fence ? Mr. Eddington said he should be prepared with it iu a few minutes After a short pause, Mr. Eddington said he was prepared, but he wished to state that all the certificates be had obtained during hid service had been destroyed by the fire on board the Tiger, with the exception of one . iwhich had been left be hind in England. That was from Capt. Hastings, with whom he had sailed, and which he should hereafter lay before the court. Mr. Eddington then read the following document in answer to the charge of losing the ship :—" Mr. President and members of this honourable court, it is with deep regret that I new find myself arraigned before you on a charge of losing my ship, the circumstances attending which loss have been fully brought before you. In de fence of my conduct as master and pilot of the Tiger, I have briefly to state that on the 11th of May, 1854, we left the admiral at noon ; we were in lat. 44 39 N., and long. 32 53, Cape Aix S.E. by E. E. true, and distant 30 miles. At eight o'clock p.m. Captain Giffard sent for me, and, after looking at the chart, considered with myself that a north-west course (nothing to the north. war.i) would take us to the edge of the Odessa bank, on which there is five fathoms; his orders, however, being that when the ship got so near to it as to be in ten fathoms, he was to be called. I had previously to this voyage been twice into Odessa. We proceeded on the given course at the rate ranging from eight to nine knots, stopping occasionally to get soundings. I myself being on deck the whole of the middle watch, excepting a few minutes while I reported soundings, as well as during the morning watch, until the ship struck. At about twenty minutes past five, in the morning watch, Mr. Wilkinson, the officer of that watch, who had just before relieved Lieutenant Royer, reported to him 16 fathoms, and then went below, to acquaint the cap tain of the depth of water. I remained on the quarter deck, near the standard compass, to hear the captain's reply. Mr. Wilkinson returned with orders that she was to go on the same course at 4i knots, or less, until we got 5 fathoms, and then she was to be steered west; my opinion that we were by the reckoning some 15 or 16 miles to the eastward of Odessa, and when the 5 fathoms was obtained, by steering west we should deepen our wster, and find ourslves in the bay of Odessa. It is too well known that from this time the water gradually shoal e d to 7, and almost immedia , ely to 5 fathoms, the ship taking the ground on the steep beach under the high land, about four miles to the southward of Odessa. I fear much that this honourable court may he under the impression that I showed a want j.idgment in running the ship at such a speed through so dense a fog; but as I was not acquainted with the ob jsct of our service on that occasion, further than the cap tain was anxious to he off Odessa as early in the morn ing as possible, I was induced to retard her curse but little, consistent with the safety of the ship, and trusting much to my previous knowlege of the locality. It has b -en stated before this hon. court by the leads man and look-outman of the morning watch that they reporte 1 the land to me, which they did not, at least so that I could hear them, and which statement has also been shown to be incorrect from the fact that no land could be seen in the direction which they state, or at the distance which we were from it, when they say they saw it, as well as their having contradicted each other in the description of the land. I will now conclude this de fence by stating candidly to this hon. court thatl believe this ship to have been set off her course to the westward by the current which, after her stranding, was known to have let her paddle-box boat away from the ship in a southwesterly direction at a rate of nearly four knots, and to which cause, operating upon her particu'arly during the morning watch, whilst she was eased and stopped for the purpose of attending soundings, I attri bute her running ashore. lam a master of fourteen years' standinz, and during that time I have served and been in charge of her Majesty's ships Harlequin, Bril liant, Penelope, Devastation, Dragon, and Tiger, and have never before had the misfortune to cause the least injury to one of them. During the above period of 14 years I have at all times obtained the confidence of my captains, in the proof of which I now submit to this hon. court the only remaining certificate in my possession, which happened to be lo'.ged in England, and thereby saved from being lost in the Tiger. I would add, that in proof of Captain Gifftrd's opinion of me, I have served with him in three different sihps. I now leave my case in the hands of this hon. court, who I am sure will bear in mind the anxiety which I have suffered during the last eleven months, and I trust, from what the court have observed at this trial as to my conduct, that they will acquit me of blame in the loss of the Tiger. Lieut. Royer was called as a witness by Mr. Edding ton, and he said—l have no hesitation in expressing the opinion that on all points connected with the navigation of the ship in which we served, Mr. Eddington was un remitting in his attention to his duties as ma=ter of the ship, and I think him quite equal to all the duties ; an l I know that Captain Giffard was satisfied with the cor rectness of his observations and attention. Several other witnesses were then called, who spoke most highly of his skill as a master, and as to his integ rity as an officer. The ccairt was then cleared, and remained closed for four hours. On its re-opening, L. Greetham, Esq., the shore deputy judge ad voca t e , rea d the &elit , of the court, which was to the following t ed a s effect :—"7fhat the said ship Tiger was run on in consequence of having been rashly she approached the coast of Odessa, xnd conducted after the ship had been run on share, the measures resorted to get her aff at were very injudicious ; but iii respect to the surrender of the Tiger to the enemy, shat as t'ie ship was around, without any hope b e i ng enter tained of floating her off; and as she was exposed to the enemy's guns, which had set her on fire, and up on which the guns of the shi p could not be brought to bear. no blame can be imputed in consequence of such surren der. Tae Court is further of opinion no blame is imput able to Lieut. Royer, since he acted under the imme diate direction of his captain, and the Court cloth adiudi. cate him to be acquitted. The Court is further of opinion that Mr. Francis Eldington is blameable for the want of caution which was exhibited by him in approaching the shore near Odessa, but in consideration of his pre vious good character and long service doth a'ljudge him t) be only severely reprimanded ; and the said Lieut. Royer is hereby acquitted, and the said Francis Eddina ton be and is hereby severely reprimanded. The court then briike up. • , ... We. cannot Cl o S e thili'miject without doing an act of barejustice to L. Greetham, El ' the deputy judge ad vocate for the u n if orm courtesy he showed to the repre sentatives of the press, and for his earnest desire to give them every assi s t ance an d accommodation in his power. TRE NEW GOVERNMENT LOAN. (From the Times' City Article of this clay.) The influence of the new loan on the prices of the funds, even after it.; conditioes shall have been arranged at the Trea - mry with the Governor.; of the Bank and the London capiteliste, will continue to be in some degree indefinite until the Chancellor of the Exchequer shall have stated on Friday next his general financial scheme for the current year. Its most important bearings', how ever, can readily be weighed. On the expediency of the loan itself there is nothing to be added to what has al ready been urged. Most persons can see that if it would be madness for a farmer to depend on no pecuniary re sources beyond those of his daily incomings to meet a year of bl.ght, or for a steam company to throw upon the six months in which it occurred the entire loss from ' a wreck of some of its principal vessels, thtra can be nothing to justify a Government in puiesuing such a course on the occurrence of a war, when the great effort should be to limit the disturbance that must follow, and to avert for the time all sacri fices beyond the dreadful ones that are inevitable. It is true the allegation has been made, that the ex penses of hostilities cannot be compared to the useful outlay which a farmer is entitled to spread over a num ber of years by borrowing ; but as the difference between a man who cuts trenches and puts up fences to avert disastrous floods or the visits of wild beasts, or who has to meet the exceptional ravages of storms of murrain, and the nation that for its permanentsecurity feelscalled upon to resist analogous evils, was not shown, the objec tion may be dismissed. Assuming, therefore, that the policy of the measure is unquestionable, the only point for inquiry is what will be its immediate results on the general relations of business ? The loan may be considered already to have affected Consols to the extent of 4 or 5 per cent., and there has been an actual fall of nearly 3 per cent., . when, instead of a fall, a rise of 1 or 2 per cent, from the recent influx of money might otherwise have been expected. Looking at the magnitude of this movement, the public may be likely to assume it as a consequence of its being the na ture of a loan under all circumstances to operate as a drain upon the capital and resources of the country, which must diminish the amount available for future in vestment. But this would be an error. The loan in the present case will not draw from the public a single far thing of capital, and is, in fact, to be regarded as nothing else than an immediate addition of 15,000,0001., or what ever may be its amount, to the property of the country. A certain expenditure was to be met ; there was no question as to the possibility of escaping it, and the only thing to be settled was, whether it should be drawn from the people by direct taxation, in which case their mettles would be instantly diminished to that extent, or whether in return for it an annuity charge should he given them on future generations, saleable at all times in the public markets, equal in value to 1001. for every 1001. they have advanced, and, consequent'y, tantainountto an increase of wealth sufficient to compensate for that which is with drawn. This increase of available wealth is obtained only by undertaking new liabilities for the future, but that part of the subject is not now under consideration. It will be said, however, that the increase of secu rities is counterbalanced by the depreciation in price of the large amount of similar securities pre viously existing, and that therefore the apparent benefit is a delusion. Such is n.,t the case. Un questionably an immense depreciation has already been witnessed, but it is merely temporary ; and, . when the real causes of it have passed away, the effect of the new creation of stock now about to be proposed on the price of Consols and other securities will be scarcely appreciable. Indeed, if the fall which has just occurred were to be regarded as anything more than a momentary depreciation, the conclusion would be that the introduction of 15,000,0001. of new stock causes a diminution of 40,000,000/. in the value of the stock pre viously in existence, since a reduction of 5 per cent. in the market price of the entire national debt would be equal to that sum, to say nothing of the still larger mass of other securities that have been influenced in a greater degree. The fact is, that the depreciation is only mo mentary, and such as is always observable when any market receives a sudden a'ldmtional supply requiring time fur distribution. If on Monday next the quantity of wheat u , ually brought to Mark-lane were increased threefold by an isolated arrival from a fresh field, a heavy drop would be witnessed, but the price thus reached would not be the true one at which to estimate the value of all the wheat remaining in the country, which, as soon as the new quantity had been cleared off, would be nearly the same as before. It must also be remembered that an increase in the supply of Consols or other British stock is not like an increase of any article subject to a limited demand. The promise of an annuity of 31. per annum is a promise of gold, which commands all articles, and its value can be damaged only when ever doubts are raised as to the ability or intention of the nation to fulfil it. If an individual holding an an nuity from Rothschild's or Baring's for 5001. were to hear that they had subsequently, granted an annuity to his neighbour for 1001., he would not consider his property depreciated, although, if he found them reck lessly granting annuities for as many millions, he would, of course, consider it to have become worthless. The facts to be borne in mind, therefore, at the pre sent moment, as regards the condition of the money market, are that the disturbance will be of short dura tion, that the loan will not unfavourably affect the foreign exchanges, since it will not OnUSG a Shilling to leave the country beyond what must have been sent even if it had not been resolved upon, and finally, that com mercial credit will be upheld to the extent of the new property distributed among the people in place of that which is drawn from them. The way in which this 15,000,000/. of new stock property will become distri buted so as ultimately to restore the money.market to its ordinary state may easily be understood. If 15,001,000/. had been drawn from the people without their receiving anything in exchange for it, their means and credit would have been lessened to that extent. When, on the contrary, they have absorbed in return for their money 15,000,000/. of Consols, their mutual credit is proportionably strengthened, and they can do without capital with which they have been required to part. METROPOLITAN A ND LOCAL LEGISLATION. TO THE EDITOR OF TIIR SUN. SIR, —Pending the investigation of the merits of Sir B. Hall's bill, for the amendment of our Metropolitan and Local Legislation, permit me, through the medium of your valuable journal, to direct public attention to ono important fact, which appears altogether to have escaped mere general notice. The bill in question con veys the power, under certain limitations, to make and collect rates, for carrying into effect all measures pro posed by its enactments. But in no clause is it eithar stated or defined upon what basis this proposed rate should be assessed, nor what standard should be fol lowed in its collection. The power to make and collect any rate, either for the purposes of the Beard of Health or otherwise, is no trifling consideration or authority to be demanded, and of itself necessarily involves a large amount of responsibility, both in its delegation and in its administration—since such a rate must be over and above all poor rates, paving rates, sewers, police, or any other now existing rate, at present chargeable upon all houses, lands, and properties throughout the king dom. It should, therefore, be borne in mind, and I sub mit it should now be first decided, what hereafter shall constitute the true and correct data of parochial as-,ess ment. The present assessment of the whole metropolis to the poor's-rate, &c., is most notoriously defective — ( Vide Magistrates' Returns)---for while such parishes as St. Martin's, St. Clement's, Gwent Garden, St James's, Bethnal Green, Chelsea, &c., are, by that document, declared to be assessed upon comparatively a correct valuation, and to the utmost amount at which such parishes should be chargeable, such other parishes, as St. Mary-le-Strand, St. George, Hanover -square, St. Pancras, Marylebone, &c., are also declared to be assessed upon arbi . rery and ideal amounts, and in suirr, varying from 52 per cent. downwards below their actual net annual value, upon which the first-named parishes are assessed. Th ere f ore , in order to obtain something like uniformity in the coanty rate (but in the county rate alone) the magistrates in session have been compelled to add even in hundreds of thousands of pounds a proportionate sum to the assessment of those last-named parishes, and to almost every other perish in the county but those previously excepted, in order to equalise the assessment to the county Nor does the house tax, fnueled upon income-tax ' returns (whereon the actual fact is too often sought to be evaded), supply a basis of assessment one jot more certain or even more approximately correct than the former. I therefore take the liberty of suggesting that the proper tune has now arrived when the Legislature should be loudly called upon to declare, and correctly to define, that which hereafter shall constitute the true and cor rect data of parochial assessment, and determine that standard, after which all rates uuiversally shall be made regulate a ll metropolitan legislation , to and collect e d. T o accomp li s h thi s g reat desideratum nothing furth er i s requisite than, th rou gh the bill which hereafter sh a ll declare th a t th e provisions of t h e 6th an d 7th Win. IV., cemmonly call e d "T he P aroc hi a l Assessment Act," shall be made compulsory of adoption upon all parishes, and that the enactments as regards valuation, assess ment, &c., shall be administered upon both (like the Metropolitan Buildings Act), since the act alluded to. and now so almost universally evaded, declares " that no rate shall be valid or be of any force which is not made upon the net annual value of all the several hereditaments rated" thereunto. Such a provision, simple as it would be would, in fact, place the saddle upon the right horse and thus it would bring the wealthy parish of St. George, Hanover,ep far as th e i r own quota i s concerne I, into contrihution of Jere, and many others of the like kind, as their fair share toward the relief of the poor, which in this one instance is about is. 6rl. or 2s. in the pound per annum ; while some of the smaller parishes in the City pay as much as Bs. 6d. in the pound per annum to ac complish the same object. 'Filerefore, in, one homogeneous scheme of parochial Jurisprudence, let the Legislature be called upon now to interpose, and by statutory enactment to do away with all such existing anomalies as these—viz., that the house tax be collected upon one standard of assessment, the pour rate upon another, the police and county rates upon another, and so on through the catalogue. Let the Legislature now declare that which hereafter shall and ought to be, and all will be well ; and in the alteration which will be hereby accomplished, the a , lilitionel im post of a 'rate for the - Board of Health will scarcely be felt. Otherwise,let uudue pressure remain, let the de firation .bf one Correct standard aseessnient 'rest. utee touched, and evil upon evil will be perpetrated, th e enactments and proceedings of the Board of Health will become a mere mockery of and departure from all prin ciple, a public delusion as to its real purpose, and a snare to the pockets of all unsuspecting and by far too willing ratepayers ; and that though called a Bill of Health, it i will in reality be fou-!fl a, s- Remaining, Sir, your most obethent " PRO RATA." I Bedford-row, April 10, 1855. VOICES FROM THE BATTLE-FIELD. CORPORAL DONALD MACDONALD. IST COMPANY IST BATTALION SCOTS FUSILIER GUARDS. " BALAKLAVA, March 19.—Our health and appearance is much improved since we have been here. We begin to look like guardsmen again. Indeed, our brigadier general gave us praise yesterday for our appearance on parade. We have the wooden houses to live in now, but we ought to have had them four months ago, and then many of our poor fellows might have been saved. The condition of the army is improving a little. The wea ther is very fine, and has been for the last ten days. It is not so bad in the trenches now as it was two months ago. We have got our last year's clothing, and we look quite smart again. We are expecting an attack upon this place from General Liprandi's army, but I think he had better leave it alone." JAMES COOPER, IST ROYAL DRAGOONS. " NEAR BALAKLAVA, March 14.—1 never enjoyed better health at home than I do in this country, which is one of the greatest blessings we have here. I must acknowledge we have had fighting here most fearful to relate. I can clearly say we have been for a fortnight together and never had a dry thread to our Lacks, with scarcely a bit of shoe to our feet, and the mud half way up to our knees ; but, thank God, the worst of the time is now over. We have good boots awl good clothes, which will keep out a good storm. We were all turned out this morning (14th March), expecting an attack to be made on us by the Russians. They showed a very good front, supposed to be about 30,000 of them, to attack Balak lava, but they were not game to try their luck ; if they had, they would have met with a very warm reception from our batteries, which we have erected. We have got wooden houses to live in now during the fine weather. We ought to have bad these good things a long time ago, and that would have been the means of saving the lives of many thousands of our poor comrades : they have lessened our army greatly. But with all our losses we can still r wallop' the Russians, for all their superior numbers." SERGEANT ROBERT BENTLEY, ROYAL ARTILLERY. " BEFORE SEBASTOPOL.—I don't care what I suffer and go through while I am here, so that I am able to bear it all, also that we beat the Russians, and I live to come to old England again all safe and wound ; and I live in hopes of so doing ; in fact, I feel sure of doing so, but we have a great deal to do yet to beat the Rus sians. If I had to live on my bare rations only every day, I shouldlnot have been so well as I am at present. Our rations are daily 11b. of salt beef or pork, 11b. of biscuit, coffee night and morning, and now we have got some potatoes, perhaps three times a week, and we find them to do us a great deal of good ; but I have lived on salt meat and biscuit for so long that I cannot take it now, so I buy bread, butter, &c., with my pay, and I think it is that that has brought me round so well, but we have to pay very dear for everything we have to buy. The French bake their own bread, and we buy a loaf of them when we can, but we have to give 3s. 6d. for a loaf not more than 3 lbs. weight, and if we send to Balaklava, and that is about seven miles from our camp, we give 2s. for a loaf not more than 11 lb. weight, and glad to get them at that price ; butter (salt of course) is 3s. per In. ; English cheese, 3s. per lb. ; sugar, Is. per lb. ; flour, ls. per lb. ; porter, 2s. Gd. a bottle, about a pint and a half in the bottle ; ale, ls. Gd., it they call it ale—l call it emall beer. I heard the other day that there was some red herrings to be got, and I thought I should like one, so I sent for one, and they only charged 4d. for it, and it was av. ry small one ! Oranges are also 4d. each, so what money we do get it does not eo far for a few coniffe-te, but I fii d they do me good, and as long as I have money and there is such things to be got I will get them." FROM SERGEANT SELI3Y. OF THE 50TH. "CRIMEA, March 17.—Dear Mother.—We now want for nothing that old England can send out, and we are as well off as any one can wish to be. We all thank the ladies of England for their comforts, for if we had not had them all the soldiers in this euuntry would have died before this. Wo have everything ready for a good fight, which is sure to take place one of these days ; but I think we shall be victorious, for they (the Russi•sns) are afraid to come out and. fight us manfully, for they know that we can beat them. Dear mother, be not faint-hearted about me, for I will do all I can for my country, and the ladies that are in it, for their kindness towards us. But my time is short ; it is now twelve o ' c i o ,k at night, and the post leaves in the morning at five o'clock, so I must conclude." A VOICE FROM THE RANKS.—An old soldier writes from before Sebastopol on the 17th ultimo :—" Sickness and the enemy have not carried sufficient mortality into our ranks, but now that we are close upon the town we must pipe-clay our belts, to render us a pezlect target for the enemy, who are within one hundred yards of us. All are of the same opi*n. Aro I:VP Ufa though we were pipe-clayed for general inspection at home ? Cannot we fight as wag as though we were polished up for a guard of honour ? For proof, look at Alma and Inkermalin ; we were then both dirty an d wet. Yet because we have got a few fine days, we are harassed with pipe clay and blacking. lam not a grumbler or disconteted soldier, yet I should like to see the people of England take this in hand, for it would greatly ameliorate our condition. Another thing which is greatly disliked is, that Sir G. Brown has ordered us to wear stocks on parade, an article which we now hate to see, and especially when the summer is coming on." THE VIPER AT KERTCH. The following is an extract of a letter from Mr. T. Flintham, serving as a warrant officer on board the gun boat Viper. It is addressed to his father, Garrison Ser geant-Major Ftirithain, of Guernsey :---- " March 14, 1855.—Fur our gallant conduct at Eupa toria the admiral has detached us to the flying squad ron at Kertch, at the entrance to the Sea at Aztiff. There are about two hundred sail of merchant vessels lying here, and five Russian men of war—two corvettes, one brig, and two large steamers—lying under the Rus sian forts ; but the brutes will not come out and face 16, we could get them from tinder their forts, we would give Swallow,u althoug hl2, o .v u f pe o r r , e 2 e only and consists e o t 2 h e Leopa r d ,fauns. uns. them British play for it, as I am longing once more to bring myself under the notice of my new commanding officer distinguished conduct ; and then, no doubt, you will see your Tom come Lowe with a lieutenant' s Ih t a o v e distinguish d en e mily duty. ni y - commission. However, it shal not be my f au lt if Id o I am sorry to inform you that we hav e l os t M r. Brock, he having left us on the 2d of March. He re ceived his promotion as lieutenant, and wa4 a pp o i nte d country see t that wishing to do duty on board the Firebra , d, 6-gun paddle steamer. Mr. Bruck was respected by all on board the Viper. He was a good commanding officer, and a strict one ; but he was rather too young to have the command of a vessel. There is no doubt he will make a smart officer, for he gallantly worked our little vessel at Eupatoria under the fire of the Russian artil lerymen ; and for his gallant conduct Omer commander-in-chief of the Turkish army, sent a letter of thanks to the officers and crew of the Viper. I under stand that we are to have the Turkish order of Medjidee given us by the Turkish Government. Sir Edmund Lyons also sent us a letter of thanks, and Mr. Brock told me that the admiral was very much pleased with him and with the whole of the ship's crew. Before he left the Viper he gave me an excellent certificate, and told me should I ever want any assistance to write to him, and he would be moat happy to do anything in hi 4 power for me. On 1, aving the ship Mr. Brock was seen to shed tear , . Lieut. Lodder was invalided at Malta on the 26.. h of February last, and Sir E. Lyons appointed Lieet. Armytage, late frst lieutenant of the Higliflyer, steam corvette, to the com mand of the Viper. He is a lieutenant of very long stand mg—in fact, he is the oldest lieutenant on the station ; and therefore he demanded the little Viper as his right, and Lieut. Brock had to leave and take up his appointment as third lieutenant of the Flrebratid. Our new commander 'teems a very pod officer, but, as I have been t Id by his old shipmates, a very strict one ; but the strict officer is the man for me. In fact, Ido not care a straw who conies or goes, as long as I do my duty ship-shape and Bristol fashion. I shall be able to let you know more about him by-and-bye, but at present I am all the go with him, through Lieutenant Broek recommending me so highly. My kind respects to Mr. Broun and all inquiring friends. I mist now inform you that at the end of March, while lying at Kertch, a young man named Henry Nicholls fell overboard, and perceiving he could not swim, I jumped overboard after him. He had then disappeared twice under water, and just as he was going down a third time, I muzzled him like a tiger, and swain with him to our vessel. Our commander and all the officers stood and i-aw me fulfil my duty towards a fellow-creature, and I was cheered by officers and men on my arrival with my prize. 'We both found ourselves very cold, being almost frozen to death, but soon came round, and now we are all right. Our commander called me aft, and shook hands with me, and he has sent a letter—and also copies of the letters that I received from Captain Brisbane, of the Larne, after having saved the lives of two boys that were upset in a boat belonging to the above-named ship, during the tune we were yn e s n : at yo i o ct i ih - l e e ito d yk, o tfi n ot t to l o i b e tga c i te a . s f t ry of on A ul e t w r a i yourill see the r Royal whatever medal son before long with four meda!e on his jacket.

We would not willingly aggravate the feelings of the Jersey family by any allusion to the painful indiscretion of o ne of its Members, but deeming, as we do, that high birth and liberal education are no excuse for crime, but, on the contrary, an aggravation of it, we think it only right to lay before our readers such particulars as have reached us, guaranteeing. as we are enabled to do, tbeir authen ticity. Mr. Villiers' expenditure has lung been known to exceed the income of the younger son of a noblemao, and the rate of interest at which he was accustomed to raise the funds for keeping up his position on the turf varied from sixty to eighty per cent. per annum. In the securities which he was accustomed to give the money-lender of the great metropolis he was joined by many frien is, who, confident of his honour, did not hesitate to accommodate him with their names. But we regret to add, that we fear, in too many instances, those names were not genuine, and par ties who only imagined they wire labia for certain sums, are now called upon f treble the amour t. some •' sue marquis or Bath, Lord Glasgow, and L id Ciifden, have disavowed their signatures, and legal measures will be immediately adopted to try the question. Many of the leading book makers of the Ring, who employ their spare capital in the discount of bills of exchange, are heavy sufferers, as the position of Mr. Villiers was such as almost to guarantee them from any loss fur their advances. Such, however, is not the case, and for many a long year to come we fear the name of Francis Villiers will be re tained in their memory. Mr. Villiers has resigned his Stewardship, and his seat, which we fancy will be far More worthily occupied by Mr. Edwin James, Q C., who is a candidate for it. The hon. member is at pre sent supposed to be in Sweden, where the extraditional treaty for giving up of delinquents does not exist. The amount of his_ liabilities exceeds 120,0001.—Era.
