FUNERAL (IF THE 14AYOR OF SOUTHAMPTON. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY. The mortal remains of Sampson Payne, Esq. (late Mayor of Southampton) were this day conveyed to their last resting-place, and deposited in the cemetery. The mourning procession left Clayfield House a few minutes past 12 o'clock in the following order :—Foresters aid Odd Fellows, guardians of the poor, officials of the town and corporation, town sergeants, magistrates, town coun. cillors, aldermen, coach with minister, hearse, coaches with mourners, ministers, tradesmen, and friends. A great assemblage of persons had congregated on either side of the beautiful avenue which leads to the cemetery ; and a body of pensioners connected with the district, numbering about 120, were drawn up in a pro minent position. There could not have been less than 500 persons present. The members of the friendly societies were attired in plain clothes, without any insignia of office or order; and the whole procession was of the most unassuming charac ter, it being the expressed wish of the friends of the de ceased that anything like parade or ostentation should be avoided. On arriving at the cemetery the Foresters and Odd Fellows formed an outer circle round the grave, the cor poration and other persons preceding the corpse arrang ing themselves within. The coffin was borne from the hearse to the grave without passing through the chapel. The Rev. Mr. Adkins, minister of the Independent Chapel, performed the burial service (which was of a very impressive character), the deceased having been a member of the Independent Church connexion. There were several of the clergy of the Church of Eng. l OW Feint. • [PRICE 4D. STAMPED SD• IRELAND. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING, THE TIPPERARY BANK. The Master in Chancery gave judgment yester day in the case of Mr. James Birch Kennedy, and another batch of shareholders who had disposed of their shares in the Tipperary Bank within the last three years. The Master, "After reviewing the authorities advanced and I noticing the arguments raised upon them in de tail, concluded by decreeing that the names of the parties then before the Court, as well as all others who might have disposed of their shares within the last three years, should be retained on the official manager's list of contributories to the gene ral liabilities of the bank. He believed there would be serious difficulties in the way of creditors recovering at law against particular contributories. The Master then said he proposed to make a call of 401. a share, believing it necessary for many reasons to do so: One was, that it would prevent the creditors who had come into the office to abide the result of the proceedings there from being in jured by other creditors, who had not thougtit it right to adopt the same course, endeavouring to recover the amount of their c!aim4 by means of judgments. For this large call judgments, if ne cessary, could be obtained for the benefit of the shareholders generally, but every care, he was de termined, should be taken to prevent the slightest oppression or hardship upon the parties liable. There was a power enabling them to enter into fresh arrangements or entertain fair propositions for receiving that call in parts, and in that office they were disposed, while seeing justice done to the creditors, to guard against undue pressure, and to pursue a moderate course. This call would be made. on -Monday -weel4 because it was conceived better for all the parties concerned to do so." SIEGE OPERATIONS BY NIGHT AT CHATHAM. CHATHAM, May 28.—A novel and - interesting descrip tion of siege operations took place on Tuesday night on the great lines at Chatham, commencing about nine, o'clock. About 1,400 men of the Royal Sappers and Miners and those t elonging to the East India Company, with the whole of the Royal and Hon. East India Coin pany's engineer officers, under the command of Captain Fitzroy Somerset, R.E., assembled on the parade in marching order, with all their working toolz, for the ope rations of the siege, to be conducted under the command -f Col. Saudhanr, the director of field work instruction. The place of attack held by the garrison was the Spur Battery. On the troops arriving in the lines they commenced tracing the ground, forming parallels, and sunken and elevated batteries. As soon as the tracing was com pleted, the signal was given for the troops to advance. A party provided with arms was sent out as pickets, and sentries in front of the right, left, and centre of the parallel to give an alarm, in case of their meeting patrols of the garrison Toe party advanced to such a distance as they could jnstdiscgrn each other. On head vance party meeting with a patrol from the garris.in, they challenged and fired ; an l as they were satifivd it was the enemy they fell back upon their supiorte, and wiihout firing again returned to the working party, who on being in formed of the approach of the enemy from the garrison stood to their arms, and poured fourth a raking fire of musketry, which was ably kept up fr )m one end of the line of fortificatiims to the other. Those troops from the garrison sent a party, under command of Lieutenant Lockhart, R.E , as a patrol from the works, coming out from the Brwnpton Sally port, in the curtain between Prince Edward's and the King's Bastion ; a party was then sent forward to take from the parallel, and advanced about 300 yards from the counterscarp, when they haled, and as they were provided with fire-balls they as certained they were advancing too near the enemy's works. Directly the patrols from the garrison fell in with the sentries from Ithe parallels and were fired upon they lighted their light balk., placing them at equal diX tances from each other ; they then retired to about 150 yards in advance of the counterscarp. When the light halls were burnt out they were replaced by others. The firing was kept up by the troops protecting the parallels and batteries with considerable spirit, and, as the night WAS very dark, the reflections from the firing of the musketry had a very impesing effect. During the in tense firing which was kept up for some time from one extremity of the line of the fortifications to the other, the Spur Battery, in charge of Quartermaster Bradford, R.E., lighted several fireballs in the salient of the King's Bastion and Spur Battery, the object being to ascertain the position of the enemy against him. Owing to the distance, the reflection caused by the extreme lights produced a most magnificent sight, and for miles round it had all the appearance of a large town being on fire. The whole of the proceedings were considered perfectly satisfactory to all the officers of the garrison, and par ticularly to Col. Sandham, under whose directions these military and engineer movements were carried out. The sight was uitnessed by about 3,000 spectators. The troops were marched to their barracks at half-past 11 o'clock ; they left the lines in columns. A night siege has not been seen in Chatham for many years. DECLINE OF PAUPERISM.—There is a reduction of nearly 50 per cent. in thp number of paupers this year in the Galway workhouse, as compared with the corres ponding period in 1855. In the latter year the num bers were 862 to 487 in 1856. A letter from St. Petersburg, of May 19th, says : " Vice-Admiral Wassilieff has been appointed military governor of Astracan, and commander-in-chief of the Russian fleet in the Caspian Sea. This fleet is to be greatly increased. Two new divisions, composed en tirely of gun-boats, will be created, and a part of the old Sebastopol ships-of-line have been placed at the dieposs.l of Admiral Wassilieff, to be incorporated in the fleet." SINGULAR CASE OF SOMNAMBULISII.—About 2 o'clock on Sunday morning, the 18th instant, the servant girl at the Duke of Wellington, St. Mary•streef, Swansea, was aroused from her sleep by a continuous screaming, which seemed to be that of a woman. The noise also awoke the host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Mai Jelly. The servant, having got up, opened a window which looked upon the back premises, whence the screams appeared to proceed, and irtirnated that if the noise did not cease, as it was disturbing the whole neighbourhood, she would fetch policeman. It was at this time raining and blowing very vehemently. A man's voice, which appeared to come from the roof, instantly re plied, " For God's sake, do fetch a-policeman." The servant-girl then, by the direction of her master and mistress who had by this time got up, went to the police station and returned with some officers. A ladder was procured from tile late premises of Messrs. Matthews, and mounted first by Mr. Marvelly, who laid hold of a man who was htan-ling on a roof near the chimney. He had on his night dress only, a nightcap, nightgown, and drawers, and was drenched to the skin. In agitated tones he entreated Mr. Marvelly to hold him fa-t. Having reaehed the ground he said that he had been robbed, and hi s m i n d appeared evidently wandering. He was taken to the Castle Hotel where it was ascertained that he had been staying. His chamberdoor, which was locked, was burst open, and the window found thrown up. His money was, of course, found to be all right. The somnambulist is, we hear, a Mr. Griffiths, a commercial traveller from Trede gar. When first spoken to after being rescued from his fearful position, he stated that he had been drinking a little too much over night. He must have gone to bed, and have risen up in a state of somnambulism, opened the window, whence he descended a depth of about seven feet on the roof of some stabling belonging to the Castle, thence he succeeded in getting on to the roof of the Duke of Wellington. It is supposed that upon awaking fnm his sleep and feeling his great danger, he commenced the screaming which aroused the servant girl. Mr. Qriffiths left Swansea the same - morning,—Swansea .11 FARMERS' PROSPECTS. A western paper (the Mayo Constitution) says : —" When war's alarum ceased to be sounded, and for the clash of arms were exchanged the cooings of peace, ending in a national thanksgiving, far mers were frightened from their propriety, and a rejgn of croaking' commenced which has not had a long existence. The general cry was cattle will sell for nothing, farmers are ruined, there will be no demand,' and the usual amount of ill-forebod ing prognostications which are consequent on any great political or social revulsion. But, extraor dinary to relate, the prices of May, 1856, are just as brisk, and the demand much greater than in May, 1855, and this notwithstanding the depres sion of the corn markets—with potatoes and all other agricultural products a drug ; still, prices are steadily advancing, and each succeeding' fair indicates further advances. We have been informed by extensive farmers that not only cattle in condition are in demand at full prices, but also young stock, while sheep are unexpectedly much looked after, which may be accounted for by the present prices of wool, which range from 20s. to 225. per stone. As for pigs, they have not been so dear for many years past, which is chiefly owing to the transit of stores by deamer from Westport and Sligo, and the abundance of potatoes in the country." • THE WEATHER. Should there be any further continuance of the present unsettled weather, the cry will soon be general against the superabundance of rain. A fortnight azo extreme drought formed the subject of agricultural complaint, but it is now in the op posite extreme, and certainly since Sunday last t►iere seems to be some foundation for the fears of the croakers. TIPPERARY IN 1850. A local journal states that there is not, up to the present a single prisoner, in Clonmel gaol for trial at the coming summer assizes. In fact Tipperary, north and south, is becoming quite a model county. LEGITIMACY OF TIIB OFFSPRING OF A DACEASED WIFE'S SISTER. On Tuesday the Court of Secision in Scotland gave judgment in the case of "Fenton v. Living stone," which has been the subject of so much legal controversy both in England and in Sootlaud, with regard to the legitimacy of the offspring of mar riao with a deceased wife's sister, according to English and Scotch law respectively. On the 15tu of January last the Lord Ordinary, in the Outer House, passed an interlocutor sustaining the claim of Alexander LiviugAtone, who is alleged to have been born in the connexion referred to, as the legitimate and nearest heir to the late Admi ral Sir Thomas Liviugstoue, of Bedlormie, and hig lordship stated in his note various grounds for holding that, according to the true interpre ation of the law of Scotland, marriage with a deceased wife's sister was not unlawful to the effect of ren dering the offspring of the connexion necessary il legitimate. Lord Ardmillan's findings were as fol lows :--- " Finds that the defender was born in England, the offspring•of a marriage celebrated in England, between parties domiciled in England at the date and during the subsistence of the marriage. Finds, as matter of fact, that the defender is legiti mate according to the law of England. Finds that his legitimacy ought to be recoguised by the Scot tish Court. Therefore assoilzies the defender from the conclusions of this action of declarator of bas tardy and decerns." . The decision was reclaimed to the First Division of the Inner House, before which the case was heard before the rising for the spring vacation. The LORD PRESIDENT, in pronouncing the deci sion of the Court affirming the interlocutor of Lord Ardmillan, said that though it had formed the subject of discussion in the Outer House the question whether the marriage of a man with the sister of his deceased wife was or was not, by the law of Scotland, illegal or incestuous, had not been then made the subject of argument before their Lordships. He (the Lord President) was of opi nion that there were now before them materials sufficient for the decision of the question raised as to the ;. legitimacy of Al exan d er Li v i ngstone , th e defender in the action of declarator of bastardy, without entering into the question he held that in every point of view Alexander Livingstone was an Englishman. He wall borne in England, and had lived nowhere else, as far as the evidence went. He was born of parties who were married in Eng land and had their domicile in England at the time of their marriage as well as at the time of his birth. The next point for consideration was, therefore, whether Alexander Livingstone was or was not legitimate in his own country. That question was raised en the assumption or allegation that the first and second wives of Thurstanus were sisters. The contention was that by the law of England Alexander Livingstone was not lawfully procreated of the marriage between his parents, and that therefore he was not legitimate ; but that in England by the rule of procedure, inquiry into the question was excluded, which rule of procedure did not apply to the Court in Scotland. By that rule of procedure such questions could only be in quired into in the Ecclesiastical Court, and that inquiry could only take place during the subsis tence of the marriage. The Ecclesiastical Courts were restrained or precluded from inquiring after the dissolution of the marriage by the death of either of the parties. However arrived at, the legal result was that in the case which here oc curred—viz., the case of no challenge anterior to the dissolution of the marriage in 1832—the mar riage was unchallengeable on the ground alleged, and the offspring were legitimate. Whatever might be the theory in regard to the law, that was the legal result as to th e s t a tus of this party. The law held children of such a marriage to be legiti mate—as much so as any other children. Here, then, was an Englishman born in wedlock, legiti mate in his own country; he had no connexion with Scotland or its law, except that he claimed to be heir to a Scotch estate, for he (the Lord President) held the original domicile of his father to have been lost, and to be of no more consequence in the case than tnat of his grandfather. They ware asked to pronounce, in regard to that Eng lishman, a declarator of bastardy, and by reason of that bastardy he would be incapable of succeeding to the Scotch estate. That was an appeal to the law of Scotland, and the Court must now give the answer. In his opinion, the answer of the law of Scotland to this appeal was that it recognised the status of legitimacy which belonged to Alexander Livingstone. Whatever might be said of the voidability of these marriages, they had at least this important legal quality and effect, that if al lowed to run their course without challenge they gave to the children a status of legitimacy of which they could never afterwards be deprived. It was also argued with great force that such marriages were by the law of Scotland illegal, and even inces tuous, and that they should not abstain from inquiry into the fact.that if the parents had resorted to this country the laws of this country would not have tolerated;their cohabitation, but would have sub jected them to a criminal prosecution, and th - at to reoogtisev legitimate the offopriug of a ofounozioa ich could be proved to have been of that cha teriould be in effect to recognise such marriages and such criminality. That part of the argument, though forcibly put, was not to his mind conclu sive. The question which they were really trying was the question of the status of the defender, Alex. Livingstone, who had not violated the laws of Scotland. It did not follow because the fruits of such a connexion, if in Scotland, would not have been legitimate that they were to deny the status of legitimacy which the defender possessed in his own country. The recognition of that status did not necessarily, or in any degree, import an approval of the connexion of which he was the offspring. To pronounce a declarator of bastardy in regard to him who in England, his own country, was not a bastard, but, on the contraq, was in the full possession of the entire status of lawful children, would be to introduce a new doctrine not forced upon them by any principle of the law of Scotland that he knew of. He gave this opinion irrespective of the Act of 1835. It was not necessary to call it into action in this case, for the marriage was dis solved before that date. At the same time the act had its application, and gave power and strength to the defendant in this action, because it declared such marriages not to be questionable by a proceed ing by which they were formerly questionable. Such being his views on this case, he thought the Court should adhere to the interlocutor of the Lord Ordinary. The other Judges (Lords Ivory, Curriehill, and Deas) concurred, and the Court decerned accord ingly. MORTALITY IN WAR. The following statisticsof the losses of the Bri 'sh army during the Crimean and Peninsular wars will be perused with considerable interest. The improvements in firearms do not appear to have occasioned the destruction that was anticipated, the casualties being nearly balanced. There is, how. ever, a marked increase in the average number of officers killed in the Crimean war, though not in that of the men. Inquiry should be instituted as to the causes, and remedies applied if possible. The numbers of non-commissioned and commissioned officers to each 1,000 rank and file in the British army may be estimated at 72 and 40 respectively. The‘ proportion_ of the -wounded. officers who -die - from the injuries they have received is considerably less than. that which obtains among the private men ; for out of 1,973 officers (more than two fifths of the total number wounded from 1793 to 1815) only 164 died, being very nearly 1 in 12. Th e difference in favour o f the officers is no doubt due to the greater amount of comfort and attention which they are generally able to secure. At the siege of Gibraltar only 1 officer died out of 35 wounded, and out of 117 wounded at the battle of Toulouse only 3 died. In both these bases the wounded were able to find better accommodation than can be the case after a battle fought in an ordinary campaign. At Gibraltar the proportion of deaths among the private men was reduced from one in eight to one in 10, 101 having died out of 1,083 wounded. It may be estimated that from. 1793 to 1815 the number of recruits raised for Bri tish regiments was 519,040, for foreign and colo nial regiments 198, 630, making a total of 717,670, besides 30,000 foreign troops temporarily employed -to these being added the effective force on the let of January, 1793, 46,440 men, the total number employed during these - wars will be 793,110. Of these 219,420 died, 229,141 were discharged, 20,000 taken prisoners, and 113,273 deserted--leaving an effective force of 211,276 on the 31st of Dec., 1815. From a comparigen of the mortality of the Army and Navy during war it appears that the man who entered the army from 1793 to 1815, ran be tween two and three times, if a private, between three and four tines, if an officer, the risk of injury in battle that was encountered by one who entered the navy, and that the general chance of death in action to the one was double that of the other. When the soldier was ordered on service abroad, the risk became as great to the private, and nearly four times as great to the officer-while, to those engaged in actual hostilities, it was respectively 17 and 22 times that of the sailor, the whole navy being considered on active service in time of war. These ratios , however, would be greatly lessened if we were t o include in our estimate the danger from shipwreck, which made the seaman's risk of death from the casualties of the service three times that of death in battle. A fleet of 30 sail of the line may he onnsid-red as equivalent to an army of 12,00') men ; and a s i ng l e b a ttl e on l an d has been more destructive to life than 20 years of combat at a During the Peninsular war, from 1808 to 1813, th . average number of sick in each 1,000 was 209 in the British army ; in the French army of Spain, 130 ; and in the French army of Portugal, 149. It appears that on the 22d of October there were 6,777 sick and wounded out of 34,642, which is at the rate of 195 in 1,000. Of these 328 were with the army,and deducting these and the 1,539 who were-wounded at the Alma, we have, 4.910 sick at Varna ; and as the total strength at embarkation was about 35,000, we have 140 out of 1,000 in hos pital before active hostilities took place. During the time from the landing in Turkey to the Gth of September, 1854, ti,e mortality, which arose from disease alone. was at the annual rate of 87 per 1,000 ; during the five months f rom th e G t h of Sept., 1854, to the 15th of Feb., 1855, it was equi valent to an annual mortality of 108 per 1,000 from °await es in action, and 391 per 1,000 from disease -making a total mortality of 499 per 1,000 per annum. Of 1,000 deaths in the hospital at Scutari, 575 were caused by diarrh oe a and dysentery, 173 by fever, and 55 by wounds ; in the Peninsula the respective proportions were 291, 398, and 201. Of 19 great battles of which details have been procured, only 4 were fought by British armies unassisted by allies of other nations, so that it is necessary to state separately losses sustained by the British only and by the British and Allies to gether. It appears that in these 19 battles an ag grogate British force of 438,205 officers and men. were engaged ; that of these 49,281 were either killed or wounded, and that of these again 14,517 (nearly 30 per cent.) died from the injuries they received-so that the casualties averaged 114 and the mortality 33 for every 1,000 men engaged. The lowest ratio of casualties in these 19 battles is that of the battle of Busaco, 22 per 1,000 ; the highest loss for the whole force is at New Orleans, where the loss in killed and wounded on the side of the British was 317 in 1,000. At Albuera, though the casualties of the British and their al lies wero only 176 per 1,000, those of the British alone amounted to 395 per 1,000. A subject to which hardly sufficient attention appears to have been paid is the relative efficiency of different wea pons. It appears from a return furnished by the surgeon of the Scots Fusilier Guards, that of 120 men of that regiment wounded at the battle of Inkermae, 7 were wounded by the bayonet and 79 by gunshot. Now it has been ,confidently and repeatedly asserted that this battle was won by the bayonet ; and in the Russian official ac count of the battle it is called an embittered bay onet contest, and it is stated that their troops had challenged and routed the well-fed and powerful British troops with what the latter considered their own particular weapon. Yet the Brigade of Guards was more constantly and closely engaged in this action than any other portion of the army ; for, out of 2,382 casualties suffered by 26 batta lions, 594 were borne by the three battalions of the Guards, so that it is not probable that the pro portion of bayonet wounds was greater in any other regiment than that mentioned above-viz., 7in 120, or about 51 in 1,000. Again at the bat tle of Balaklava the heavy brigade were opposed by cavalry, and, therefore, most of the wounds which they received were made by lances and sabres. Of 106 casualties among them 9 were fatal; whereas of the 281 among the light brigade, who suffered from artillery as well as from hand-to-hand fighting, 169 were fatal, or more than half, the ordinary proportion being 1 death in 5 casualties. The total amount of killed and wounded of the British forces in the Crimea, from the 19th Sept., 1854, to the Bth Sept., 1855, was 13,880, of which 4,565 arose from siege duties, 4,396 from assaults, and 4,919 from battles. The ratios of deaths among the wounded officers appears to have been nearly the same in 1793-1815 and in the Crimean campaign ; but the proportions re turned as killed vary considerably, being 164 offi cers killed to 836 wounded in the former period, and 233 to 767 in the latter. The proportion of killed among the private men was nearly the same in both wars, being 193 to 1,000 in the former and 190. to 1,000 in the latter. The loss sustained by the Russians during the siege is not known to us ; but it appears that on the 17th and 18th June, and from the 17th Aug. to the Bth Sept., 1855, inclusively, their loss was 27,852. As the total loss of the English, in killed and wounded, ,in the siege and assaults was 8,961, we shall have, taking the loss of the allies at double that of the English, a total loss of about 27,000 ; so that the besieged lost as many in the 25 most sanguinary days of the siege as the besiegers did during all the 33 8 days during which it lasted. The French garrison of Badajoz in 1812, consisting of 4,870 men, inflicted 4,824 casualties on their assailantsin 21 days, with a loss of 1,600 only of their own men, including deaths from sickness. In the same year the garri son of Burgos, 2,000 -strong, repulsed their oppo- - nents with a loss of 2,064, killed and wounded, in 32 days-their own loss being 639.-United Service Gazette.
