THE WAR, THE CABINET, AND THE COUNTRY. (From the Dispatch.) At Exeter-hall (region of congenial cant !) a fierce lec ture of recommendation of peace has been delivered. Mr. George Thompson, as "judicious bottle-holder," sat be hind, to pull the wires, the pacific pugnacity of Quaker. ism being rather at a discount. A resolution was moved condemnatory of the war ; an amendment was hoisted on its baek, advocating a vigorous prosecution of the cam paign —the amendment was hitched off and the peace motion carried. The audience was large. The chairman of Mr, Laing's election committee procured from his con stituents a declaration that they condemned his cowardly counsels—on the member presenting himself to his con - stituents, they passed a resolution approving of his Par liamentary conduct, " while reserving their own views on the subject of the war." Now, it is high time electors and audiences of paid peace prosers should be Assured this sneaking and grotesque stultification will not do. The war is the one object o f rea l i mpor t t o th e condition and destinies of the nation. I n one y ear we have spent about a hundred millio n s on it s p rosecu ti on . Our honour, t e lives of hundreds of thousands of our citizens, an e nor mous amount of treasure, and a fearful load of moralore sponsibility,bserved are involved in the issue. Mr. Laing hi m s e lf, "was an enormous evil, and itli.Te hoved every man to know whether the objects to gained were sufficient to justify the enormous outlay and • effusion of blood. When we are making those sacrifices we ought to have a clear idea of what we are really fighting fur, - and see how far these objects have been attained." The speech of the member was a truculent_ diatribe against the war policy—it was applauded by the constituents to the echo ; and the ceremony (peculiarly Caledonian), of "claw me, claw thee," was wou n d up with a bold and manful resolution that the community of Kirkwall had their own opinions of the war—that they de clined to say whether they approved of ."Sr. Laing's or not —but that, excepting on the only topic of any itorentaece or significancy whatever; about which they held no opi nions, they approved entirely of thei r mem b er. W hy thi like Milner Gibson 'e joke about the Aberdeen Cabinet, when he observedethat except on the subject of • they were a united Ministry. • We do not want "Exeter Haliery "to agree with us— we d o not even particularly desire that we should agree with the hyperborean sagacity of the Bolan geese of Laing-don—albeit Wick appears to be burning down to the socket, and going out with a strong stink of Russian tallow ; but what the country, the press, the Ministry, have a right to demand of ad constituencies is, that they shall make up their minds on the one engrossing, exclusive question of the day—, that they shall. leave their members in no doubt as to their convictions—that they shall not, deliberately • and with .their eyes !open, send a man to Parliament, to vote against, intrigue against, turn out a War Ministry, if they themselves are in favour of the war— that it they are in favour of peace, they will riot mislead Ministers into the idea that their member does not represent their opinions —and that, above all, they will not commit the execrable folly of thinking it a matter of perfect indifference that, on a point involv ing the very life of the nation, it is of no consequence whether their representative agrees with or differs from them. Nay, we go further, and add, that it is unjust to Austria and cruel to Russia to do so. While they are led to hope that public opinion in England wavers on the subject of the war—that our representative institutions may enable corrupt members to cheat the nation out of its character and opinions —that faction may - overrule public opinion to the effect of swindling us into a Peace Ministry, Hapsburgh will continue to bamboozle our treacherous plenipotentiaries, and Romanoff to assail our armies and our fleets. If, on the other hand, the people hold no strong conviction on the subject—if this be not a people's and a nation's quarrel—if in short, they would sooner submit to a paltry truce than part with a jobbing Member who Prefers railway contracts and Austrian con• cessions to the honour and interests of the country, then let them honestly say so, and make Gladstone Prime Minister. But let no favour of personal friendship, and no consideration of general services, stand betwixt their members and their duty to truth and to the country. Be just, and fear not. We nought can toe, If England to herself be true. On vital questions members are but delegates —on those of war, foreign nations only know the convictions of the country through the votes of its members. If these are opposed to those,'at whatever sacrifice of feelin' or respect, the course of the electors is clear : Cassio, I love thee, Bat never more be officer of mine. It is no excuse fora representative differing from hie con stituents, that the difference is conscientious and earnest. • The deeper the source.of antipathy the moreenergetic will be the cou rse o f practical antagonism. It is surely not for I Mr. Laing, who has wheeled right round after a vieir, to . Vienna and the acceptance of an Austrian concession, to depreciate Lord Palmerston's consistency, or to declare his confidence in Lord John Russell just for his posses " sion of those qualities which he has notoriously set at hought; having, indeed, changed oftener, more &lame trically, more unaccountably, and more recently then any public roan except Mr. Laing himself. It is. per hap, a work of supererogation to examine the elements of the Kirkwall speeches. When Mr. `dearth assures us that he and those precious transatlantic'Republicans who talk so loudly Of being the eirancipritoreof king oppreie ed, peoples, -while they are at this moment the close itonf, , dc.. rates of-Russia, are of opinion-that we would "have got • asnateolt-ley negotiation as in the end-we might get by war, it is enocgh to auswer that no mere negotiation cellad se cure the circumscription of Russian Power, theinunillati , rr of-the aggressive arrogance of the Czar—the demonstra tion, essential to the peace of Europe, that England ate' France are his masters—the proof to the Russians that tire constables, the police, the bearers of the sword of the mice i strati) in. Europe, are . too strong forswindlers, pickpock* Austrian receivers, and I?,uesien burglars. When Mr. ' Laing, with easy and impudent effrontery, asserts that, after a single year of warfare, Rassia, did accept the Four Points in principle, and that the five Pleniperen tariee agreed t o a resolution for the limitation of the Russian power in tha Black Sea, he at once furnishes a , triumphant justification of the war which he condem es, and advances a proposition which is notoriously la lee. ! The German Powers, ,from the beginning, negot , ated only on this principle—•" Heads, Russia wine ; tails, I Le • Allies lose." Russia, from the beginning until hoe, re , fused either to reduce her army, dismantle Sebastoeel, or diminish its navy, by a single ton or gun. Germeny • declined to make that •refusal a resits belli, while she caliet on us to make peace with Russia, notevithstaed iug her rejection of the conditions presented to her by the plenipotentiaries. Because we will not degrade our quarrel to the pettifogging quirks of a special pleader-- because we disdain to recognise the paltriness of a sell! which labels and numbers the cause of Europe, of the human race, divides it into eighths like the stock id' a • share-broker, and talks of " three and a half points" being satisfactorily settled"—because, having been forced into war after measureless provocation and scarcely dignified forbearance, we will not, after an enormous expense in men and money, give up the contest, without any redress cr. equivalent; whenever a faithless and arrogant enemy, findieg we are too many for him, chooses to mock us with the form of redresS, without any substance of retribution or security —a scandalous traitor to his trust, to the people and to his country, presumes, with nia?cli lees effrontery, to arraign this Christian nation with the indulgence of the worst passions, and of incurring the awful responsibility of war for the gratification of tte combativeness of our animal nature. So may the t'ilief say when the the hangman peele his back to thrash id:e flees and petty larceny out of him ; or the bloo-Faiiit eyed parricide when, from the awful bench of public safety, the judge orders him off to the dungeon to be transferred to the gallows. In sorrow, far more than in anger, do we pursue the huge State criminal of Russia to the righteous doom of offenders against the human race—in sorrow that wretched worm of the dust, " drest in a little brief authority," shou'al, i)y the weakness, ignorance and barbarity of subject:, have the power to " play such fantastic tricks bebire high. Heaven" as to put back the progress of Europe, and make countless thousands mourn. But—it is written —his doomed is sealed—the finger of Providence may be manifestly seen pointing at the crouching victim of its awful but infallible sentence. Let our countrymen mark the relative condition of the belligerents. The people of France offer to lend to their Emperor far more than he needs or will accept to carry on the war. Their h:rr veet is of unexampled abundance. We want five millions for the Turks—thirty millions are offered, arid COTIFOIA are about 91. Our own crops are of more than average excellence, and the prices of food fall. The United States have already gathered in a larger harvest than they ever before secured. The cereal - .produce of Russia has miserably failed. Her commerce is annihilated. Levy after levy of her choicest population has drained her serf-estates, and her troops have miserably perNfred of disease, defeat, disaster, forced marches, and pes tilential encampments. - She has been ignominoredy thrashed in every encounter—nothing has occurred chir ing the whole war but failure, havoc and rout, until her soldiers and even her officers have to be made mad with fiery rye whisky before they can "screw their courage to the sticking place " of a fresh encounter. Yet renewed attacks are an obvious necessity of her desperate comii tion, because she daily makes her assaults at a greater disadvantage and very plainly, solely because, unless she achieves immediate relief, she sees nothing before her but submission, It i s b ut yesterday that 3,000 attacked a small force in our trenches and ran away in ten mi nutes without disabling so much as a sergeant's guard. The garrison of Sebastopol is already reduced to lia:f • rations, and it is whispered to us by' persons who should know, that it is notat all unlikely the enemy will actually .be starved out within a fortnight, The French are already within 200 hundred feet of the Malakhoff Tower, the key of the enemy's position. An enornione destruction of warlike stores, essential to the conduct of the war in the Crimea, has been effected in the Sea of Azofrand along the coast of the Euxine. The exper:merr tal bombardment of Sebastopol has r ecommenced under very encouraging circumstances, the vertical firing effect ing very serious destruction. Although the bombardment Gf Sweab org has done little injury yto th t foorttihfiecaitni injury its effect upon th e enemy i s r eally sim ilar which would have been inflicted on us had the whole of the contents of the dockyards at Plymouth ann the mu- , tarnents in the Tower been consigned to the flames. The victory of the Sardinians arid French on the Tchernaya is described by General Simpson to be equal to an Alma and Inkerman combined. The odds against the allies were three to one ; not feWer than 10,000 Russian; under Liprandi and their commander-in-chief have been placed hors de combat in one way or another; 60, 000 seasoned troops e have retreated, after three hours' figl'r. ing with less "than` 20,00(7, rmne of the latterßritish ; and above all, Italians have borne the brunt of the fight„ proved themselves equal to the best troops in the world, proclaimed to Italy its strength, the o ld R oman: spirit that still lurk beneath the euperincumbent mass of lazy and cowed love of creature comfort and fat ease, and demonstrated to Austria that the day on which she shall provoke France and England to send the fiery cross among distressed nationalities, the Italians will cope on equal terms with the most disciplined coherts of legitimacy. Alarmed at the success of La Marmora, it is rumoured that Austria is about to leave the Principali ties, and that Omar Pacha, with the flower of the Turk ish army, and flanked by a French and English contin gent, will be made room for, there to carry t h e i nvas i on into the Russian frontier by the significant permission of Germany, so as to force the war to a conclusion. Here is our present stand—these are our future prospects— who that has the spirit of a free man would talk of patching up a peace ? Who that has the soul of an Eng lishman would condescend t o negot i at i on, or degrade the exalted attitude of his country to the sordid chicane of paper protocolling and logomachy of obfuscated plenipo tentiaries ? AUSTRIA AND NAPLES. ( From the Daily News of this day.) An Austrian fleet has cast anchor in the Bay of Naples. Two Austrian ships of war—one a steamer— are riding off Castellamare : and four—two of them steamers —are in the harbour of Naples. This is the sequel of the remonstrance addressed by the Austrian Government to the King of Naples, on the error of his ways, to which we called attention on the lth instant. The present . state of Italy has rendered Austria fidgetty and apprehensive. Hence it comes that she is increas ing her military force in Lombardy and the Venetian, territories, to prevent any rising there, and to he in readiness to- suppress risings in any other Italian State. And hence it comes that a fleet is sent to tie up the hands of her crazy protege, the King of Naples, who seems beent upon provoking insurrections in his terri tories. The friendly controllers of the madman who is now giving free scope W his fantastic humours in the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, have not arrived a mo ment too soon. From insulting and maltreating private individuals—natives and foreigners—his creatures have proceeded to provoke collisions with Governments ; and their first insult of this kind has been directed against the senior attaché of the British embassy at Naples, It will require all the "soft sawder" of Lord John Russell's friends at Vienna to prevail upon King Bornba to make such an amende honorable as it will be consistent with the dignity of the British Government to accept. It is not without cause that the Austrian Government views with anxiety the present aspect of affairs in Italy. Such politicians as are not in the habit of allowing the newest novelty to efface all remembrance of preceding events will recollect what was the state of public opinion in Italy when Pio Nono ascended the Papal throne. The practical reformers who, at the instigation of Balbo, Gioberti, and D'Azeglio, had emancipated them selves from the secret associations were busily at work, seeking to effect such ameliorations, social and political, as were attainable under the existing Governments, The simultaneous adoption of a more liberal policy by the Governments of Piedmont, Rome, and Tuscany, imparted a national character to the isolated efforts of the practical reformers in these states, and indeed throughout Italy. The instinct of the people taught them truly that so long as foreign influence predomi nated in Italy nothing could be accompli s h e d, an d hence the idea of an Italian Leag ue, or Confederation. Insurrections in Lomb a rdy and the Neapolitan domi nions accelerated the march of events. Italy found itself involved in a war w ith th e f ore i gner before any confederation of its principal states could be formed, and whilst hostilities were actually in progress be tween Sicily and Naples. The only Italian Govern inent that stood true to the cause of Italy was that of Piedmont, which was betrayed and deserted by the other Princes of the Peninsula, and thwarted and hampered by the bulk of the extreme lib erals. Austria triumphed, and the cause of Italian unity and independence was for the time stricken down, But this reverse has had, at least, the good effect of materially simplifying the politics of the Peninsula. They who dreamed of a Federal Italy were divided be tween the claims of the Pope and of the King of Sar dinia to be President of tho Cmfederation. The course pursued by Pio Nono—in accordance with the views of the Sacred College of Cardinals—has put the former out of the question. The Roman Government, when it placed itself under the protection of the ultramontane powers, and declared that the independence and good government of Italy was as dust in the balance when weighed against the perpetuation of priestly misrule, taught every Italian that the continuance of the secular power of the Popes was incompatible with the liberty and good government of his country. Again, the false hood and chicanery by which the Governments of Rome Tuscany, Naples, and the minor principalities sacrificed the cause of Italy rather than run the risk of seeing Piedmont aggrandised, showedwhat had already been proved by the history of the Germanic Confederation—that 1 free institutions and national independence are anatt lin able under a confederation of princes. A federal republic under certain social conditions is possible, as we see in Am e rica, because all officials, state and federal, are elected by and responsible to, the people. But in it confederation of monarchies, either the central Government must be nominated by the princes, and become their mere instru ment, or it must be nominated by the people, and be continually thwarted and paralysed by the powers re served to themselves by the sovereigns. Lastly, the miserable failure of the extreme Liberals in Italy, after Piedmont had been driven front the field, has proved to sill the rea , mnable and honest adherents of republican opinions, that mere abstiact principles, however plan. t.ible, arid popular enthusiasm, however pure and . de voted, are unavailing against the standing armies of the foreigner,.unless there be sotnevvhere the framework of a disciplined Italian army, into which the now levies of volunteers and extempore soldiers may be incorporated. These important lessons have been taken to heart by the heeler of the Italian people-Lthe educated middle and upper cle , se.s—and will not be forgotten when the time comes again for asserting Italian unity and independeoce. And that time will assuredly come. With the single exception of Piedmont, the most intolerable nii,rule pervades every Italian state; and the Italians know that but for Austria this misrule would be impossible. In Lombardy and the Venetian territories Austria tyrinnises directly ; in the Two Sicilies she upholds tattering throne of the Bourbon's ; in the States of the .Church the near proximity of her armies and her insidious counsels encourage the combined arrogance and effeminacy of the dominant priesthood ; and in Tuscany and the minor dukedoms the nominal sovereigns are the mere prefects of Atrria. It is im possible to foresee what form the first renewal of the struggle for liberty and good government in Italy will assume, .when it will c one, or whether it will extend over the whole of the Peninsula or be confined to a part of it. But 'oppressors and oppressed, and foreigners looking on at a distance, are all equally impressed with the conviction that come it must, and that ere long. Hence the sleepless jealousies of Austria. She feels that 'he blow is impending, but kno ws not when or whence it may reach her. Like other malefactors she startles at the rustling of every leaf. Now, it is the nomination of Garibaldi to the command of a Sardinian vessel ; now it is the raising of an Italian Legion for the service . of England in Sardinia; now it is some word dropped in the English Parliament by a minister or by a private member. Her prying curiosity is unable to detect the immediate sources of danger; but her incessant suspi- CiOnt, goad her to acts of oppression, which will of them selves bring about that armed insurrection against her alien authority in Italy, of which she stands in constant dread. , gABORG AND CBARLES NAPIER. (From the Examiner.) It. is perfectly clear that the destruction of Sweaborg ,was effeeted by means of mortars. The range of these powerful instruments of destruction being upwards of 3,C00 yards— considerably greater than that of the guns in the Sweaborg 'batteries —the assailants carried on their principal operations in as complete safety as if they had been practising against the butts at Woolwich. The crews of the boats had in'leed their ears deafened, and in some instances their voices and chests injured, by the tremendous concussion to which they were exposed from the constant discharges of their mortars in such close proxiMity ; but tha Russians hail as good a chance 4if ' bringing down a sea-gull as one of their enemies by a 32-pounder, and the probability of hitting by a shell so small an object as a mortar-boat, at the range of nearly two miles, is almost too remote for calculation. Tt is clear, then, that without mortars it 'was not po sible for Sir Charles Napier to effect what by their aid alone Admiral Dundas has been able to accomplish. Arid it is a significant fact, to which we have more than once directed attention, that there was not a single mortar on beard the Baltic fleet last year. The charge against Sir Charles Napier is therefore re duced.tu this, that he ought to have taken care not to be unprovided with a proper supply of this kind of artil lery. But, or. the otherhan may it not be assuming a litile too much to take fordgrantedpertfheacttlySirweClihawrilleast, when he took the command knew , sort of a sea,'aNd what sort of a coast, and what sort of harbours and forts those of the Baltic were ?

Did Lord Aberdeen's Government call upon th e E ng li s h consu ls and vice-co suls scattered along the coa s t s of th e B a lti c f o r reports touching the state of the Rus s i an f or t resses an d defences? Did the; communicate these reports to Sir Chas. Napier? Was the Admiralty aware that Sweden always keeps on foot a large fleet of gun-boats, and looks upon them as the only vessels available for the defence of her northern coasts ? The Government, it is certain, possessed facili• ties for obtaining every necessary information of this kicd, and it was plainly their duty to put such into re cf,isition. We are no champions of Admiral Napier. W e can perfectly conceive his removal to have been jus tified by o th er causes t h an those he is most eager himself to put forward ; we hold his style of letter- writing for be neither dignified nor manly; but the country ought not to permit the heavy blame of having despatched into the Baltic a force insufficient for the Service it was sent to Co discharge to be shifted from Sir James Graham's to Sii- Charles Napier's shoulders.

The true state of the case will probably turn out to be that the fleet under Sir Charles was originally despatched to the Baltic less with any really formidable purpose than merely by way of demonstration. It does not seem likely that any serious intention was then entertained of attacking either Cronstadt or Sweaborg. It was in deed Lord Aberdeen's avowed policy to avoid striking any blow that might diminish or humble the pride of Russia.' A sort of defensive warfare—not simply defen sive in the ordinary acceptation of the word, but defen sive in the sense of the measures advocated by Mr. Milner Gibson—was to be waged in the Baltic and the Black Sea. A fleet was equipped for the Baltic sufficient to prevent the Russians from doing any mischief, but not possess ing the power to inflict serious injury on their principal fortresses ;,and an army was landed at Gallipoli for the protection of Constantinople from'a coup de main, but in that position running the least possible risk of ever coming into collision with the enemy. Naturally enough, therefore, when forced by circumstances to as sume the offensive, the fleet under Sir Charles Napier, like the army under Lord Raglan, found itself unpro vided with the means indispensably necessary for prose cuting a vigorous campaign. NOTIFICATION AS TO THE NUISANCES RE MOVAL ACT, 1855. (1849, Victoria, c. 121.) The General Board of Health, being required to fur nish information for the removal of nuisances and pre ventible causes of disease, desires to call attention ti) the provisions of the Nuisances Removal Act, 1855, which has superseded the previous acts on the same subject in England:- 1. Any premises in such a state as to be a nuisance or injurious to health may be ordered by two justices in petty sessions, or by a stipendiary magistrate, to be made safe and habitable, to be paved, cleansed, whitewashed, disinfected, or purified, and sufficient privy accommoda tion, means of drainage, and ventilation to be provided ; and while any house or building is rendered by a nuisance enfit.for human habitation, in the opinion of the justices, the using of it for that purpose may be prohibited. 2. Any pool, ditch, gutter; watercourse, privy, urinal, cesspool, drain, or ashpit, so foul as to be a nui sance or injurious to health, may be ordered to be drained, emptied, cleansed, filled up, amended, or re moved, and a substitute provided. 3. Any animal so kept as to be a nuisance or injurious to health may be ordered to be kept in a cleanly and wholesome state, and, if that be impossible, the animal may be removed. 4. Any accumulation or deposit which is a nuisance or injurious to health may be ordered to be carried away. Notice of a nuisance may be given by any person ag grieved thereby, or by any of the following persons : The sanitary inspector or any paid officer under the local authority, two or more inhabitant householders of the parish or place to which the notice relates, the re lieving officer of the union or parish, any constable or any officer of the constabulary or police force of the dis trict or place, and, in case the premises be a common lodging-house, any person appointed for the inspection of common lodging-houses. The notice is to be given to one of the local authorities in the following list, and, if more than one of them have jurisdiction in the place where the nuisance arises, the authority first mentioned is the one to which the notice must be addressed 1. Where the Public Health Act is in force, the local Board of Health. 2. In corporate towns (except the city of London, Oxford, and Cambridge), the Town Council. 3. In the city of London, the Commissioners of Sewers ; and in Oxford and Cambridge, the Improvement Commissioners. 4. Where local improvement acts are in force, the commissioners or trustees for the execution of such acts. 5. The Highway Board, if there be one. 6. The Nuisance Removal Committee, which ought to be chosen by the vestry under the act of 1855, where wine of the abovementioned authorities exist. 7. The Board of Inspectors for Lighting and Watch ing, under 3 and 4 Wm. IV., c. 90, acting with the stir vevere of highways. 8. Where none cf the above-mentioned are to be found the guardians and overseers of the poor and the surveyors of the highways in and for the place. In the metropolis the vestries and district boards to be elected under the Metropolis Local Management Act will, on and after January 1, 1856, be the authority to whom notice and complaints must be addressed. The local authorities are bound to appoint or join with other local authorities in appointing a sanitary inspector, and they have power of entry into the premises on which the alleged nuisance is situated for them selves or their officers, and, on being satisfied that the complaint is well founded, are bound to bring it before a justice, on whose summons the person causing the nuisance, or, if ho cannot be found or as certained, the owner or occupier of the premises where it exists, will be summoned before two justices, by whom the complaint will be inquired into, and an order made. Even if the particular nuisance complained of have been removed before proceedings are taken the local autho rities, if they have reasons for believing that it is likely to recur, may summon the offender, and the justices may in such a case make an order not for abatement but for prohibition, or they may combine an order for abatement with an order for prohibition, and direc'; the works necessary to prevent a recurrenc., of the cause of complaint. The order of the justice may extend to structural works, but in that case the act gives an ap peal, as it does against any order of prohibition. The duty and cost of removing thenuisancearethrown in the first place on the person causing it, and, if heca.n not be found, on the owner or occupier in the next place, according as the nuisance is one caused by act or default of one or the other. It is obvious that there are nuisances which no atten tion on an occupier's part can prevent, if an owner have not provided certain appliances ; and, on the other band, nuisances for the prevention of which the utmost care or forethought of an owner is unavailing, if the occupier be careless or perverse.

Lawrence, dangerously, Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch and its Enclosures, of which the following are copies, ad dressed to his Lordship by General Simpson. • Before Sebastopol, Aug. 14. My Lord,—During the last few days considerable activity has been exhibited in the movements of the enemy, both in the town and on the north side ; and, from the information we have received from the coun try, as well as the examination of deserters, I have rea son to believe that the Russians may attempt to force in to raise the siege by a vigorous attack from without. Every precaution is taken on the part of the Allies, and the ground occupied by the Sardinians above the village of Tchorgouua, and in its front, has been made very strong through the energy and skill of General La Marmora, who is unceasing in his precau tion, and shows the utmost disposition to co-operate in the most agreeable manner with the Allies. The fire has, if anything, been rather less during the day, since my last despatch. At times, however, the enemy open heavily for a short period, causing many casualties ; and amongst them I regret to have to an nounce that of Brevet-Major Hugh Drummond, Scots Fusilier Guards, who was killed yesterday afternoon by a fragment of a shell. His loss is deeply felt by all who knew him, and her Majesty has lost the services of a most promising officer. The firing on our side has been directed in a great measure against the large barracks, dockyard buildings, and the town, all of which show visible signs of the ad mirable practice of the Royal Artillery. I further beg to enclose the returns of casualties to the 12th inst. I have to apologise to your Lordship for having omitted to inform you before that I had despatched the steamer Indiana, on the Bth instant, to Cerra, for the purpose of conveying the 82d Regiment from that island to the Crimea. Drafts for the Light Division and 71st Regiment, to the number of 800 men, the remainder of the Carabineers, and one squadron of the Ist Dragoon Guards have ar rived. I have, &e., JAMES SIMPSON, Geaeral Commanding. The Lord Panmure, &e. Enclosure 1.

LAMBETII.—Joke Knight, driver of the hackney cab, No. 783, appeared before Mr. Elliott, to answer to a summons taken out against him by Carteret John William Ellis, Esq , of 4, Thurlow-place, Norwood, for using abusive and insulting language to him against the statute. Mr. Ellis, who described himself as a magistrate, de posed that on the 21st inst. the defendant drove him from Catherine-street, Strand, to Stockwell, and de manded 2s. as his fare. Witness told him he was a ma gistrate, and knew what the fare was, and he should not give him more. He then gave him ls. 6d., but the de fendant still insisted on the 25., and showed his book of fares, and certainly offered to go to the station house. He again told him he was a magistrate, upon which he said tbat all magistrates were against cabmen, and that he did not believe him to be a magistrate. These observations he considered not only exceed ingly impertinent to himself, but a calumny on jus tioe, and he told the defendant at the time that he should punish bim for his abuse and insult. In cross-examination by Mr. Russell, for the defendant, it was elicited that the defendant had on the preceding Saturday summoned the complainant to this court for the fare claimed and withheld, and obtained a decision in his favour. The complainant also admitted that be called the defendant a liar. The foreman of defendant's employfr gave him a most excellent character. Mr. Elliott said that the complainant had himself made use of expressions such as be should not expect from bim, and of so provoking a character as to take the case out of the statute, and it was therefore dismissed. George Warren, a potman at th e G rosvenor Arms publichonse, on Peckham Rye, was charged with inde cently assaulting and attempting to rob Miss M ar i a Mur rell, a young lady on a v i s it with her friends in Peckham. Tho prosecutrix, a well-dressed and good-looking young woman, deposed that about 11 o'clock on the pre ceding night she got out of an omnibus, as she thought, near to the residence of her sister, with whom she was stopping; but not knowing the neighbourhood she lost her way, and got into a gentleman's garden, where she sat for some time on a seat. On leaving she met two men, the prisoner and another, and asked them the way to Well Cottages. The prisoner said they were not far off, and offered to show her the a,ay. He then gave a can which he carried to his friend, and walked with her un til they reached a piece of waste ground, ana then she felt his hand in her pocket. She instantly caught hold of the bottom part of her pocket, but in the struggle he tore away several of the gathers of her frock and petti coat, but she still retained possession of her purse. The prisoner at this place became very rude to her, pulled her about a good deal, and committed an indecent assault on her, though she endeavoured to prevent him as much as possible. She endeavoured to get away, and asked the prisoner to allow her to go, but he kept hold of her, and she was so frightened that she could not call out. Mr. Elliott—You say he indecently assaulted you. What did he do ? Miss Murrell—He put his hands up my petticoats. I ran away from him once, but be followed me, and pulled my cape off. I kept his hands away as well as I could, and he tore my petticoat. I here missed my pa rasol, and went back to the gentleman's garden where I had- left it. The prisoner followed me, but stopped at the gate, and soon after I saw a policeman, to whcm spoke, It mioht at that time be one o'clock. Police Constable George Walton, ISI P, said that about a quarter to one on that morning he saw the ro secutrix and prisoner together, and the former, address. ing him, asked if he knew where she could get a bed. She was crying at the time, and (he witness) told ber she had better go home, as it would not be easy to get a bed at that late hour. She said she wanted to get away from the prisoner, who, she.was a f ra id, wou ld go home with her if she went there, and therefore she did not like to go. Witness then told the pri soner to go about his business, and he did so, and when he was gone the prosecutrix told him (witness) that the man had very much ill-treated her, and at ternptel to rob her of her purse. He in consequence fol lowed the prisoner, and took him into custody. The prisoner denied attempting to rob the lady, but if he bad done anything else he hoped the lady would for give him, as he was a married man with a wife and two children. Mr. Elliott expressed much surprise that the prosecu trix had not called out or appealed to some person or persons for assistance before, and given the prisoner into custody, and ultimately remanded the accused. SOUTHWARK.—John Dudley and Ann Dudley, his wife, were charged with unlawfully selling gin to Mary Ann cJooper, at No. 10, Flint-street, Southwark. Mary Ann Cooper said that she and her husband lived at 5, Union-street, Borough. The previous night, about a quarter to 12 she went out with a decanter to purchase some gin, but she found the public houses closed. She consequently asked a person where she could purchase some gin, when that party told her she would b e sure to get some in Friar-street or Flint -street. She then went up the latter street, and saw the female prisoner standing at the door of No. 10. The prisoner immedi atel/' asked her to walk in, and then took a bottle from a cupboard, and emptied a quantity of gin into witness's decanter. She wanted some more, but the prisoner had no more in . the bottle, and w it ness th en h an d e d seven pence-halfpenny for it, and went away. She had not gone many yards berore she met a constable, who stop ped her, and they both returned to the house, when both prisoners were given into custody. The witness here said she did not pay for the gin, neither did the female ask for any money, but she put the sevenpence-half penny in the hand of a child she had in her arms. She had 'mown the prisoners some time as neighbours, and she considered that the gin was only given to her as an accommodation. Mr. Seeker said he had no doubt that the case was fully proved against the female ; therefore he should fine her 20/. or three months, and the man must be dis charged. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
