CIL Douglas, of the 11th Hussars, was then called by Col. Tulloch—He stated that his horses were in a very bad condition indeed, after their return in Decem ber from the vicinity of Inkerman, requiring shelter at that time from their being in such a reduced state. They were entirely exposed to the frost and the severe wea ther whilst standing at their picquets. Temporary shel ter, although there might have been no means of cover ing it in, would have bees of advantage to the horses. That might have been done by digging trenches, the earth forming a breast-work of great protection from the weather. The French managed this much better than we did. His men arrived at Kadikoi on 2d De cember from Inkerman, but he was unable to say when the duties of collecting stores commenced. It would have been of advantage if men could have been got from the shipping to have assisted the cavalry in providing shelter. In December the available number of men under his command was 103, and every man was set to work to make the best provision he could for him self and horse, when it was known where they were to winter. That was known about the middle of December, but he could not recollect if it was on 4h 16th. From the 3d to the middle of December the officers and men dug trenches, and did all they could to make their horses comfortable ; but the ground was not bad at that time. Thera was nothing done for the troop horses. There was a limited supply of trenching tools, not nearly sufficient for the wants of the regiment. He could not say whether there was sufficient trenching tools for a half or a third, or what proportion of the regiment.

The farce is one of the O'Keefe school, and consists alter nately of singing and dialogue. A young lady, to avoid a hateful match, resolves to e!ope with a military officer, and her maid designs to run off with the postman ; but, as officers and postmen both wear red coats, the maid is associated with the man of war and the lady with the " man of letters"—till the double mistake is discovered, and consequently rectified. Thanks to the neatness with which Mr. W. Ferran sang the lay of the " kn ,ck," and the quaint manner in which the soubrette was played by Miss Divine, and a waiter by Mr. Clarke, the trifle went off merrily, and was given out for repe tition every evening. The Bishop of BANGOR then rose to ask the inten pon of the Government respecting the Church Discipline Bill, which he described as mischievous, uncalled for, and visionary. The LORD CHANCELLOR expressed his regret at being obliged to differ in toto ccelo upon this subject horn the right rev, prelate. It was his intention to move the second reading of the bill on an early day, believing that it was a most useful measure, and was imperatively called for. 64a i I W. J. CODRINGTON, General Commanding. The Lord Panmure, &c. &c. - 6 - 7p 6 - 7 88 Enclosure. Head-quarters, Camp, Crimea, March 24. Sir,—l have the honour to enclose the weekly return of sick to the 22d instant, and it is gratifying to state that, notwithstanding the recent arrival of several drafts of re cruits, and the cold winds which have prevailed from the N. au 1 N.E. during the whole of the past week, the in crease of admissions into hospital has only been a small fraction higher than it was last week, and the mortality has fallen near:y one-third. Even in the Land Transport Corps the health of the men has been more satisfactory ; end although there has been no decrease in the number of admissions during the week, the mortality has fallen more than one-half. Taking the whole force in the Crimea, including Land Transport Corps, Army Works Corps, and Medical Staff Corps, the admissions to strength have only been in the ratio of 2.41 per cent. ; deaths to strength, 0 . 2 per cent. ; and sick to well, 4.41 per cent. Last week they were re spectively, 2 . 15, 0 . 04, 4-29. Of the 16 deaths which occurred in the whole force serving in the Crimea, seven took place in the Land Trans port alone ; and out of the 16, throe, I am sorry to ob serve, were from the direct effects of drunkenness ; and in how many other cases that vice may have been the exciting cause of disease, it is impossible to say. But with all these defects and drawbacks, the health of the at my, according to the ratios given above, may be fairly said to be in a very satisfactory state. The troops stationed at Kertch are equally healthy, and no casualty had occurred there during th• week ending 14th March, which is the latest date up to which I have received returns from the senior method officer there. The Bishop of BANGOR again urged his objections 74 7. 103 104 1914 —101 k par A p par -I P a 941 956 ...d, The ARCHBISHOP of CANTERBURY also ad dressed their lordship; but in a tone that was quite in auditJle in the gallery. The Spanish dancers retain all their pristine power of attraction. Indeed it seems as though the brilliant achievements of Senora Perea Nena, far from creating a merely temporary furore, are recognised as constituting one of the permanent recreations of the metropolis. A short conversation took place between the Bishop of Exeter, the Lord Chancellcr, and Lord Redesdale, which was also quite unintelligible, and at its termina tioe their lordships adjourned. r-:;! ...d ••• .... .1 - -- 28,i - 29 HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This Evening.)

JAMES'S PARK. Mr. L. DA.VIES asked the Chief Commissioner of Public Works, whether he intended to carry out the plan suggested by the committee for opening the coin znunication from St. Tames's Park to Waterloo Place ; and whether the recommendation of the committee, that the Duke of York's monument should be removed, had been fully considered by the Government. Sir B. HALL said he should be prepared next week to state how much of the report the Government in tended t) adopt. As gnat objection existed to the removal of the York column, he had measured the ground on either side of the column, and he found that the carriage-road into the park at that point might be effected without disturbing the column. The house should be fully- informed upon this subject before anything definite was done. Col. Tulioch asked the Commissioners to read to the witness a portion of his evidence given before the Cam• missiouers in the Crimea, and signed by him. Lord Lucan objected to this as the events spoken to occurred in December. Whereas the inquiry before the Crimean Commissioners did not take place until April. Tho cavalry division in the B mphorus is also very healthy, and only two deaths had occurred in it during the week ending 11th March. Taking the sick of the whole British force in Turkey, both in general and regimental hospitals, the ratio of death to strength has only been o'o3 per cent., and the ratio of sick to well 6.09 per cent.—l have, &c., J. HALL, Inspector-General of Hospitals. General Sir William 3. Codrington, K.C.B , Commanding-in-Chief. 78 -79 6 - 5i :3i - :3 15f -16 f 5f - 574 88 - 92 Col. Tulloch said it was a mistake. The witness was examined on the 25th of March, and not in April. Ultimately a portion of the witness's evidence was read relative to the trenching tools, in reply to which the witness said it was true there was a limited supply of tools, and that some were left behind, but that was when on the march, and on the heights before Joker man, and no reissue was made, until after then. As far as he recollected only a few sets of tools were issued. The want of intrenching tools did not retard the progress of providing shelter for the horses on the heights, be cause the masons, carpenters, and such men were at headquarters assisting in erecting depot stabling there. He did not think the men so engaged exceeded the num ber of men of that description usually found in a regi ment, viz., half-a-dozen. The other men of the regi ment, about 100, were mostly engaged in duties that prevented their providing shelter ; the days were very short, and the weather so bad that sometimes the men could not work. Before the Crimean Commissioners he st tted that the butting commenced on the Ist of Feb., which he believed was correct, and by it he meant that o❑ that day they commenced putting on the wood covering of the excavations that had previously been made. It was so long since he could scarcely recollect exactly when they commenced excavati-ns. The ground was not available for the horses till the wooden coverings were ready and put on. He thought they commenced ' preparing ground about tho beginning of Jan. It to from the let Jan. to let Feb. to prepare the ground. There werenot more than 30 men available during that time for this work. Temporary shelter might have been erected in a few days by his own men with canvas, &c., if he ha I had it ; but he made no suggestion of that kind ; shelter like that pro. vide i by the artillery of canvas, etc., if properly selected and erected, would have lasted throughout the winter. Tile ground was selected by an engineer officer after con sulting with witness. He would rather not give an an swer to a question put to him in the words of the Com missioners' report that their was any " want of promp titude or ingenuity displayed" with reference to the sheltering of the horses,•or give any opinion ou that sub ject. Colonel Tulloch—Why do you object to answer the question ? Colonel Douglas—l should be giving an opinion as to the co,iduct of my superior officers. I do not know what reasons might have influenced them. I only speak of *hat I saw myself. I cannot give you an answer to the question. Colonel Tulloch said he wished to call attention to the short supply of barley to the horses at Inkerman, a-id aeked the Board whether he should enter on it now or wait until Lord Cardigan was called. Lord Lucan said he understood that this was an in quiry into those parts of the report to which he ob jected. He confined his objections to two paragraphs in the rep - irt, and to which he called the attention of the board at the commencement of the proceedings.

Tulloch said that as Lord Lucan did not consider that part of the report objectionable, he (Col. Tu'loch) had no wish to enter on it. He had no further questions to pat to the witness. The Judge-Advocate General asked Lord Lucan if he wished to examine the witness ? Lord Lucan said he should refrain from doing so then, but ask to recall him at a subsequent period. The Judge-Advocate-General said Col. Douglas the Board wishes me to put this question to you. Did Lard Lucan frequently visit the camp of your regiment, and did he appear to be anxious for the comfort of the men and horses ? Cul. Douglas—l can answer that question if I am allowed to express an opinion on my superiors. Lord Lucan said he had not the slightest objection to the witness answering the question. The Jndge•Advocate—Will you answer this question, whicia is a, matter of fact ? Did Lord Lucan frequently visit the camp of your regiment ! Col. Douglas—Yes, he did. The Judge•Advacate—Are you prepared to state what passed at those visits ? Col. Douglas—Lord Lucan used to look round and see what was going on. Alt I can say is, that he fre qoently visited the camp. After an unimportant question from Col. Tullooh the witness withdrew. C )1. Doherty, of sth Dragoons, examined by Lord Levan on a previous day was examined by Colonel Tulloch The horses after their return from In kernen were in a bad state and required shelter in consequence. The witness was examined as to the mode of giving temporary shelter to horses by digging pits and throwing up earthworks around them, but he was unable to state how long it would take one man to so shelter two horses. He accounted for that not being done, from the 31 Dec., when they arrived at Kadekoi, to the 13th, from his men being engaged in "trip piquet and other duties. There was an insufficiency of trenching tools, but be could not recollect the date. \viten they had marched down the country to Ba'aklava D gGth Sept.) t h ey had no trenc hi ng t oo l s .

He did if he could have got the assistance of sailoprasytmoeenerttekot:t:htwe necessary shelter if they had been offered lie lost 33 horses out of 111 io December, and he shou l ld . imagine that their cot was greater than the labour alluded to. He should have made an application for canvas and assistance, if he had thought it obtainable. He might have made a casual observation upon this sub ject, but he certainly made no official communication. It did not rest altogether with other persons to make such a suggestion to the proper authorities. The firet shelter was erected about the 10th February, and that being insufficient, another was erected by the 220. If there had been canvas and scantling, the horses might have been sheltered six weeks earlier. He was unable to state at the date of hi examination in March last how many horses had died at that time. He had 41 horses left, nine only of which wet e fit for duty. In Nov. he had 144 horses, 20 of whie'l died ; in Dec. 111 horses, 33 of which died ; and in all 14i 8 100 OXFORD UNIVERSITY CONIMISSION. In reply to the question of an HoN. MEMBER, Mr. WALPOLE stated that the papers appended to the report had been printed by mistake. They ought not to have been attached to the report. PUBLIC BUSINESS. Viscount PALMERSTON moved that upon Thum. day the 29th day of May next, and on every succeeding Thursday during the present session, Government orders of the day shall have precedence. The noble lord hoped the precedents of former years would be followed, as great convenience have resulted therefrom. • The m ition was azreed to. WORKING ON SUNDAYS. Captain STUART asked the Clerk of the Ordnance Whether it was the fact that the operatives in the Royal dockyards an.' arsenal at Woolwich still continued to be employed on Sunday ; and whether the responsibility of c waman ling such employment rest 3 with the heads of departments at Woolwich, or with the authorities of the War-office ? Mr. MONSELL said, with respect to the dockyard be could give him no information, but with respect to the arsenal, it was not the practice habitually to employ labourers on Sunday. On one or two occasions, owing to accidental circumstances, some persons had been em ployed in the carriage department, but that was all. Sir C. WOOD 3aiii it was not true that work was perrnitte I to be done in Woolwich Dockyard on Sundays. Mr. IiaItSFALL asked the First Lord of the Ad miralty, what were the circumstances which led to the einployinent of a large number of workmen in the Dock yard at Portsmouth on Sunday last, and whether he would give directions for the discontinuance of such a proceittre for the future? Sir C. WOOD said that in order to enable certain work to ho complete I, which was of great importance, the workmen ha I been allowed to assist the contractors, but such a proceeding would not again be allowed. BRIBERY: Mr. OLIVEIRA. asked the Secretary of State for the home Department whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to renew the act 17 and 18 Vic., o. 101, relating t) bribery, which would expire at the End of the present Session ? Sir G. GREY said it was the intention of Govern ment to renew the act. METROPOLITAN LOCAL MANAGENIENT ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked at what hour it was in tended to bring on this bill ? Sir B. HALL said the Attorney-General meant to move for leave to withdraw the bill. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said that was not an answer to Ids question. He wanted to know at what hour the bill would be brought in, as he inten.led to show up the infamous conduct of the Board with respect to this matter. (Laughter ) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he merely meant to move to discharge the order. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE—At what hour? Not after 12? (Laughter.) Tho ATTORNEY-GENERAL—No. Not if it is inconvenient to the hon. member. ROYAL ASSENT. Sir A. CLIFFORD, :the Usher of the Black Rod, ap peared at the bar of the !ionic and summoned the Speaker and the house to the House of Lords to hear the Royal assent given by commission to several bills, for which see Lords report. PENTONVILLE PRISON. Mr. BOWYER asked the Secretary of State for the Horne Department a question Pentsnville Prison, relativ e t o th e re gulations touchingthe access of ministers of religion to prisoners net members Esta blished Church. The stibject as of the one that not only affected Roman Catholic priests,h the ministers of all religions, and what he compl a i ne d of State t a h s e i n -; s mosta Roman of was the refusal of the Secretary Catholic priest to the above prison, it would be contrary to the 4th George IV , ch ap that to admit such ministers of religion withonatp. 6 t1 4 1 , request of a prisoner to have a minister of hi s ow : religion to adminater religious consolation to him, but h e contended there were no such restrictions in the act, and such a regulation was contrary to the religious rights and liberties of the people. If ho found the law really was as had been stated, be should bring in a bill to remedy that grievance. These ministers ought to have the power o f visiting these prisons at all times, and without the restrictions complained of. Mr. A. PELLATT said that these regulations were considered a grievance by Dissenters generally. Sir G. GItE Y . said he was desirous of giving every liberty to Dissenting ministers to visit Government prisons that he could, but that, under the present law, it was necessary a person should express a wish to see a Dissenting minister before ha . could be admitted. In the case referred to he bad gone as far as the law wfm4l allow biro, but he c )uld not go to the entire length the hon. and learned member wished him. ARMY CIIA.PLAINS. Sir Da L. EVANS drew attention to the service of the chaplains of the army in this war, and asked the First L .rd of the Treasury what recognition, if any, might be hoped for in respect of these services? Lord PALMERSTON, after paying a high eu!ogiarn on the manner in which the ministers of the Protestant, Presbyterian, and Roman Catholic religions had discharged their duties in the East whe ther in the discharge of their ordinary duties, or in ministering to the sick in the hospitals and the wounded on the battlefield, said the Government hoped to have an opportunity of rewarding these meritorious men hereafter. Mr. S. HE bore testimony to the zealous and efficient services the Army Chaplains in the East bad rendered, and mentioned that four young men of the Established Church and four of the Rornish Church bad perished there from disease and over exertion, and suggested that the chaplains COMMISSION SIGNED BY THE QUEEN. sth or Royal Elthorno Light Infantry Regiment of Mid dlesex Militia—William Bell, Gent., late Lieutenant and A.djutant Glth Regiment, to be Adjutant, from the 27th F...bruary, 185 G, vice Port, resigned.

SIR,—In this evening's impression of The Sun there is a letter from J. M. on the subject of Billetting. As he seems to imagine that soldiers and militiamen are bil letted upon private families throughout the kingdom, perhaps you will allow me to inform him that such is the case only in Scotland. Your obedient servant, Z. Y. x. April 10, 1856. A letter from St. Petersburg says :—" The Emperor and the Grand Dukes Constantine, Nicholas, and Michael returned suddenly to the capital after an absence of ten days, although their intention has been to pass a month in visiting the different corps d'armee and the principal towns of Finland. His Majesty returned to St. Petersburg after receiving a telegraphic despatch at Abo. The persons attached to the suite of the Emperor agree in stating that the inhabitants of Finland had never ceased to testify to their Sovereign their fidelity and devotion, and that Alexander 11., in return, had promised to the nobility of the country that he would seriously occupy himself with the con dition of the population. The article in the Abeile die Nord against England terminates thus : Albion has lost her prestige. The West has shown to us what we were to expect from it. Let us profit by the lesson we have received ; for, in the end, Russia, by her armies, her population, and her geographical position, is the most vigorous of all empires. Only her productive forces are not sufficiently developed, and from that cause she is poorer than other countries.' " A letter from Vienna of the 6th, in the German Journal of Frankfort, says :—" The Emperor of Austria has this day ratified the treaty of peace." Another letter from Vienna, in the Hamburg News, says :—" A considerable sum will be put aside again this year for the continuation of the fortifications of Cracow. It is intended to make of this place a second Comorn. The works are to be completed in three years." The Ost Deutsche Post of Vienna publishes an article in which it allows that the occupation of the Principalities by the troops of Austria has ceased to have any legitimate object, but contends that Austria cannot withdraw them until Russia has fulfilled all her engagements and had her new frontiers marked out, or the Principalities have been re-organised and their repose secured ; in a word, until peace shall have been not only signed, but executed. The Ost Deutsche Post founds its arguments upon a distinction which it establishes between a treaty of April 10, 1854, signed between Turkey and the Western Powers, and the conven tion specially signed with Austria, the latter espe cially providing that the period of th e ev a cua ti on of the Principalities is to be determined by a fresh convention between Austria and the Porte. A letter from Berlin of the 7th, in the Cologne Gazette, says :—" His Majesty has ordered that the prayers hitherto said in the churches for peace shall he changed into thanksgivings, which are to be continued until after the ratification of the treaty." A letter from Berlin states that the Court-mar tial which had been appointed to take c"gnisance of the affair of M. de Rochow and his second, M. de Murtwitz, for the duel in which M. de Hinck eldy was killed, has heard the defence, and will very shortly deliver its judgment. MADRID, April 9.—The Gazette states that the question of military substitutes was the pretext of the late disturbances at Valencia. Order has now been completely re-established. The towns of the provinces had been placed under martial law. The Cortes had approved the financial plans of the Pro gressistas. The law of Desamortization was about to be carried into operation in the Basque Pro vinces. No fear existed for the disturbance of order. The Boomerang, from Mobile for Liverpool, was aban doned on the 27th of March. Five seamen lost, the re mainder, including Clpt.Crowe, his wife, and 17 seamen, saved by the R. H. Cooper, arrived at Fabnouth. THE FORGERY CASE IN DUBLIN.—Mr. Knighting, late clerk in the transfer-office of the Great Siuthera arid Western Railway, has been fully committed for trial. The emigrants to Paraguay having been sadly ne glected and ill-used on their arrival at that pity, the Fr:nch Government will not grant any further pass ports until better regulations shall be adopted. MAILS FOR NORWAY.—GENERAL POST-OFFICE. 7th April.—The steam-packet communication between Den mark and Norway having been re-established, the mails from the United Kingdom for Norway will be conveyed direct by sea from Denmark to Norway, instead of via Sweden, until further notice. The rate of postage to be taken on letters addressed to Norway will be ls. 4d. the half mince, and so on, according to the scale in ope ration in the United Kiog loin for charging inland let ters. This rate comprises both the British and foreign postage on the letters to the place of their destination ; and it may be either paid in advance, or the letters may be forwarded unpaid, at the option of the sender, ex• cept, however, as regards registered letters, the postage upon which, as well as the registration fee, must be paid in advance. The RIIHR MAN BN THE RIGHT PLACE.—Notwith standing the late announcement of peace we understand that several very hasty engagements have lately taken place in the Haymarket. General Baife, however, it is generally expected, will resume the command f her Majesty's forces (operatic), when, through the zeal and experience of this distinguished officer, we have no doubt that harmony, so long a stranger to her Majesty's Theatre, will at l e ngth be permanently established. A SSEMBLY Rooms, HORNS, KENNINGTON.—SeveraI eminent artistes sung at a concert given last night at the above-named rooms, when a very choice selection of music was admirably perform ed, and several novelties were introduced, comp iced by professors and amateurs, which were v er y successful, particularly Balfe's " There ' is a name," sung by Miss Dolby; Leslie's " Shall I be remembered," and St. Leger's " Gipsy coquette," in terpreted by Madame Weiss. THE CORPORATION REFORM BlLL.—Yesterday, at a ' meeting of the masters and wardens of the livery compa nies of the City of London, held at the Mansion-house, Sir Peter Laurie presiding, resolutions in opposition to the Corporation Reform Bill were unanimously agreed to. It was further resolved that the livery companies should usa their influence with members of Parliament to induce them to oppose the second reading of the bill. FlREEL—Yesterday morning a fire broke out on th premises of Mr. W. H. Black more, cotton and waste manufacturer, Harris's-yard, near Whitechapel Church. There was a good supply of water from the mains of the East London Company, but the flames could not be sn'idued until the warehouse was burnt out and the roof destroyed. The engine-house was also much injured, with the kilns and stabling adjacent. The buildings were insured in the Sun office, but the contents were not insured. A fire also occurred on the premises of Mr. John Wilson, oil, colour, and Italian warehouseman, 43, Strutton-ground, Westminster. The front and back shops, the fixtures, and the back rooms on the first and second floors, were seriously burned, and the rest of the ' premises and their contents much damaged by water and smoke. The loss is covered by insurances in the Royal Exchange and Westminster offices. MINES. 1 all twat, ii via ••• - ••• 1 all Anglo Austria.

(Before the Recorder.) Stephen Stout, 26, agent, was indicted for uttering a forged acceptance for 25 guineas, with intent to defraud. It appeared that the prisoner had been agent to Messrs. Judkins, the inventor of the sewing machine, and had been sent by them to Plymouth, where he had sold one of the machines for 25 guineas to a gentleman named Cross, and was paid in money. He however paid his era ployers with the bill in question, alleging that he had received it from Mr. Cross, whose name he had forge' to it. He was found guilty and transported for 14 years. This, with some other unimportant cases, closed the business of the session. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) BOW-STREET. DEFRAUDING A TOLL COLLECTOR.—A man named Dennis, a builder's labourer, was placed at the bar ble morning, on rema n d, ch a r ge d with attempting to defraud the toll collector at Waterloo-bridge. It appeared that the prisoner adopted the following plan of carrying out his object. One evening in the pre' ceding week he, accompanied by four other persons in similar employment as himself, arrived at the wicket of Waterloo-bridge, when the prisoner threw down half-e; crown to pay for the passage of five persons. The toll collector took up the coin and placed the change on the table of the wicket which the prisoner took up. After looking at it some time he said there was a sixpenni short, and demanded his full change. The toll collector feeling nearly sati , fied that he had at first given the full amount hesitated to comply with the demands of the prisoner, but eventually he gave the man another Pit' pence, and the whole party went on. On the following day the same " dodge' was tried again, but feeling poi' tive that it was the same person that he gave the six. pence to the day before he called a policeman and pre the prisoner into custody. The magistrate, after cautioning the prisoner, said the solicitors to the bridge company thought that the punieb: ment he had already undergone (a week's imprisonment/ was sufficient ; but if he came there again under the Lune circumstances he would not get off so lightly. PICKING POCKETS IN THE PARK.—A boy about 10 years of age was placed at the bar, charged with picking pockets in St. James's-park. Police-constable 126 A statedlhe saw the prisoner Pot his hand into the gentleman's pocket ; in fact, he caught the hand of the boy in the pocket, and called the ger tleman's attention to the fact. The gentleman was not in attendance. The magistrate told the boy for six weeks he should have a little harder work than picking pockets to per form ; in addition to which h e s h ou ld have "012°f' commons." He was committed to prison for six weskit, with bid labour. Country Markets. DERBY SMITHFIELD.—Aram 8.
