TEE PEPRPSENTATION OF SOUTHA M PT ON. SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY EVENING. A second address to the electors has to-day been issued by Mr. Edwin James, in which the hon. gentleman says "The meeting of Wednesday last having been ad journed, in order that Mr. Weguelin might have the same opportunity of expressing his political sentiments which yon kindly afforded me, I thought it fair, pond that adjournment, to suspend my canvass. " I trust that the electors will appreniate my motives and approve of the course I have adopted. " After Tuesday evening I shall have the honour of paying my personal respects to every elector." Placards have been issued convening a meeting of the -lectors of St. Mary's this evening at the American EL.tel, to consider the respective claims of the three can ti lates—Mr. James, Mr. Weguelin, and Sir Edward Butler. The parish of St. Mary occupies more than alt of the town, and comprises within its boundaries -.in immense number of the working men employed in the docks, the various steam companies, and other large is centredmanufacturing and commercial establishments. But the m'imdiate interest of the whole constitue nc y is ßidi both M r. in the adjourned meeting to be held at the ng.,ch 01 to-morrow evening at 7 o'clock , at which I. pr ra i ses to be the greatest and most exc i t i ng assem . Weguelin and Mr. James are to be present. i 'laqe ever held in this most excitable borough. S ir Edward Butler has again been canvassing all day, tom rvn boenlisevaetutrty the,v)teg h ni te . other candidates returned tae "Anti-Poor Law Board League," 0 London, have addressed the elector:7, calling their attention to " the importance of requiring from all candidates an explicit declaration of opinion as to the unconstitutional authority of the Poor Law Board in affairs relating to the poor, and of supporting those only who pledge themselves to oppose in Parliament the continuance of its despotic power." At no election in this borough for the past 2 years have ouch strong arid powerful feelings been evoked as on this occasion. Liberal sentiments are so over powering in Southampton that but for the unfortunate split which at present divides the Liberal party into sec tions a Conservative candidate would not have the smallest possible chance of success. The further examination of the prisoners, William Pierce and Jams Purgess, charged with the gold bul lion robbery on the South-Eastern Railway Company, in Mey, 1855, was resumed yesterday morning before the Lerd Mayor. The publication of the evidence of Agar, detailing the adroit and daring manner in which this robbery was effected, has much increased the curiosity of the public in respect to him and the parties implicated, and a more numerous crowd of persons than on either of the former examinations assembled in Mansion-houee• street several hours previous to the commencement of the business, eager to gain admission to the court. A Tumour was in circulation early in the morning that Seward, alias the "barrister," was in custody, and would he placed at the bar with Burgess and Pierce, which probably tended to increase the number of persons assembled in front of the Mansion-house. The same admirable arrangements for the accommo dation of the representatives of the press were made by the Lord Mayor, assisted by Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, and Mr. Sewell, as on the two former examina tions, Precautions were taken to prevent the court from being overcrowded. Twenty-five witnesses were summoned to give evi dence to-day ; and in order to prevent confusion or de lay in their attendance, they were provided with printed cards, stsvir3g they were witnesses in the case, signed by Mr. Rees, solicitor to the company. Mr. Bodkin, instructed by Mr. J. C. Rees i solicitor to the South-Eastern Railway Company, again appeared to prosecute. Mr. Wontner defended Pierce, and Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, defended Burgess. Alderman Sir R. W. Carden, Alderman Salomon% and Alderman Carter were on the bench during the exarainatioreof the prisoners. Mr. Tuolon, Mr, Coles Child, and other directors of the line, with Mr. Abel, to whom some of the stolen gold belonged, were also pre sent, and accemrnodated with seats on the bench. At half-past 10 o'clock the prisoners Burgess and Pierce were placed at the bar. They were both as cool and collected in their demeanour as on the previous ocea,ions, though they looked somewhat paler. Bur gess still retains his dress as a guard of the South- Eastern Rail way. Pierce anxiously looked round the court, and both prisoners evidently appeared surprised after what was said at the last examination that Seward and Tester were not placed in the dock beside them. Mr. Bodkin said he intended, to-day, first, to com plete the case as regarded Pierce's house, and if there was time then to go to another branch of the case. It would be necessary for him to ask by and bye for a further remand of the prisoners. Charlotte Painter was the first called—She deposed that she was 15 years of age, and resided at 15, South ampton-street, Vauxhall. She lived with two persons named Adams, in Horleyford-street, and bad to nurse a child. She was there by day and went home to sleep at night. She had seen the prisoner Pierce, at Adams's house iu Harleyford-street, and he went by the name of Peckham. Mr. and Mrs. Adams removed from Harleyford-road to Cambridge Villa, Shepherd's-bush, but at what time she could not say. Pierce assisted Adams to move his furniture. Soon after that she left Agar's serviee ; it was jest before Christmas, 1854. She spent her Christmas with her parents, and after that Agar called on her parents, and she was taken by him by cab and 'buss to Cambridge-villa. She slept there then, and took care of the child. She was mostly out by day with the child. She recognised Fanny Kay as Mrs. Adams. Pierce continued to visit Agar at Cam bridge Villa whilst she remained in Agar's service the second time, about the 18th May, 1855. He then came more frequently than at the Harleyford-road. His visits were sometimes at meal times, and others not. She bad known him to be there the best part of the day. Agar was sometimes at home when be came and sometimes not. When Agar was at home Pierce and he used to go to the wash-house, but she did not know what they did there. On one or two occasions she heard hammerin and knoekines ss— occa‘ion she went to the wash-h ouse to fetch an article, hut Agar refused her admission, saying she could not come in. She saw two boxes in the wash-house about that time. One was a green coloured one, which she thought she would know again if she saw it. She went into the wash-house for anything she wanted when the men were there. She had moved the boxes to sweep tinder them, and from that she found the white one was heavy. Whop Pierce and Agar were at work in the wash-house a vice was fixed on a piece of board against the window. She found it fixed when she went there, and it remained when she left. Once she saw a leather courier bag in the house. It was brought into the back parlour by Agar. She never saw any other bag then but that. Agar and Pierce went out together with the bag on one occasion towards evening, but she could not say when it was. She used to sleep in the first floor back room, which had a common small stove in it No fire was lit there to her knowledge. She used to retire at vari ous hour'', sometimes as early as eight o'clock. Pierce had always left before she went to bed. Examin. d by Mr. Woirtner—She could not re member the date when she left Agar's. The child had gone to nurse before she left. She was cer tain Mrs. Bessill, who resided next door, died before she left Agar's. She left a few days after that. The can vas bag was drab colour. Agar and Pierce brought the bag into the back parlour whilst she was having her tea She had great difficulty in moving the boxes in the wa-hhouse. She had to push them along. Both boxes had been there as long as she lived at Shepherd's-bush. The sashhouse was kept un locked, and she could go there when she liked. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—Her mistress was at home when Agar brought home the bag. He put it on a chair behind the door. She believed Agar carried the bag out openly later in the evening. She did not see him go out of the street door. She did not recollect if he wore a great coat or cloak. She believed Agar re turned after she was in bed. She had never since seen the bag. She was first asked about her evidence about a month since. She first male a statement to g ave Me .R h e er esi s p . t o h n e e p ae re h se e n e c ea e s o ie f h h . er H fa e th s e a r w an h d er ru ,s eoht a once at her t father's a i r l e e s d i . d e n s c , e and had onnocte spoken at lV lr s t .o PAoirrtse. Agar o l n t n t e h s e s Porter's, snhject. She had read in the newspapers the accounts w of the robbery. If she had not read them she should not have recollected it. Mary Ann Wilde deposed that she resided with Mrs. Bessill at the time of her death at Cambridge-villas. She left a few weeks after. Whilst she lived there she knew Mr. awl Mrs. Adams. Witness used to sleep in the back bedroom, and could see from it into Mrs. Adams' wash house. She bad seen Agar go into the wash house on several occasions. She once saw him go in in company with another man whom she could not now identify. She saw nothing carried into the wasbhouse. There was a garden behind her master's house, and from that she could see the balck bedroom-window of Agar's house. There was a white blind to the window, which was there when she first went to Cambridge-villas. Her master on one occasion borrowed a hammer of Agar. Witness fetched it. It was a heavy hammer, and was afterwards returned by Mr. Bessill. Her attention was attracted by hammering in the wash-house when Agar was there, but she could not recollect if Pierce was there then. Cross examined by Mr. Wontner —The last witness left Agar's service before Mrs. Bessill died. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—Her master was in the habit of hammering once or twice a week, and made a great noise. Be-examined by Mr. Badkin—She did not see Pain ter leave. Sh e teought it was before her mistress died. aftte r i I.ee Mrs.yo Mary f Tf ° dy Adams, f ro A a d n . n P s e h r e t e knewr de po s Agar,ed— S h e w resided i d w e e d at nt No . byt l h 4 e her house, and resid e d t h ere with Fanny Kay as his in O' c t o b er, 1854. He took lodg i ngs i n remainedwi in the lodgings about 7 weeks. Pierce visited them in the name of Peckham. He came there very frequently. Pierce assisted in packing ham pers when Agar left. Pierce stayed there sometimes half a day, and sometimes not so long. She did not see Pierce or Agar ever use tools. Cross-examined by Mr. Wontner—Agar came to her lodgings a week before Christmas, 1854. Wm. Ellis Wood d eposed he was a cabman, residing s .t, 7, Hawley-mews, Hawley.road, Caden-towe, No 01G. In the spring o f 1 855 be was m Out with one of hie cabs, near Chalk-farm, about 7 o'clock in the evenine% As be was driving along, lookin 4 for a fare, he was bailed by a man, and drove to the corner of Prince of Wales'-read, Haverstock-hill. He could not say if the man walked or rode there. Crown -terrace is about 200 yards from the corner. When be got to the corner he waited there a quarter of au hour. The man went to wards Crown-terrace, and returned with another roan. They had two or three carpet bags. One was a little square leather bag, with something like a dressing case in it. They got in and ordered me to drive to London bridge Station. He did so, and drew up at the Bridge Hotel. The shortest man of the two got out and went towards the station. The other man remained in the cab, and ordered him to drive to St. Thomas's-streets Re did so, and was ordered to pu up near Guy's Hospital. The one that got out had on o cloak er a mantle. He heard them shuffitng about iu to cab before he pulled up, as if they were about to get or. The short man did net take a bag out with him, but)e had no cloak on when he took him up first. After retaining in Thoinas'--stri.iet about half-an-hour the man reurned from Tooley-street through thearches. Hegotin spoke to the other man, and then got out again, and 9.s absent a quarter of an hour. He did not hear what the said. On his return he was ordered to drive them back, ad to go down the Prince of Wales-road, round by Metier Shipton. He did so, and got within 200 yards of ;rows-terrace. They got out with their luggage, paid lyn, a n d left. He did not notice their luggage then. Che same men hired him again. It was two or three dye after, and they then took him from the rank at Calhfarm. He was hired by the Caine sh or t man, and abut the same hour (seven o'clock) in the eveeit:g. He drcre to the corner of Prince of Wales-roadas before,whe u tL man who hired him lefr, and returned with another ma; and luegaro comprising two carpet bags and a leather bag. One had a brown frock coat on, and the other IA dark clothes on. They each had cloaks on their arms, le drove to S. Thomas's Hospital. The short man got tot, and was absent about half-an-hour, the other rernainiig in the cab. He went towards the station. On his rourn he got into the cab. One got out and went away, aid he drove the other to Prince of Wales-road, Haversock-hill. He was hired once or twice after in the saint way and by the same men. He took them to St. Thames -street, and the same ceremony was performed, and hi drove them back again as before. On one occasion he lifted one of the carpet bags, which appeared heavy. It took place either in April or May, but he would no; swear which. ft was always dusky when he returned. The short man was ef light complexion and light whilters, and looked like a servant out of place. He was admit 5 feet 5 inches or 5 feet 6 inches in height, and aeout 28 or 30 years of age. He thought he should know him again if he saw him. He wore a brown frock cow, heahought, on every occasion. He coald not identifiSr the-tall man. He Was a tall, spare man. As soon as he came to the cab he got in, and he had no opp or t un i ty o f see i n g much of him. He was generally dressed in a black coat, with a- cloak on - his arra. He would not swear to either of them. He 6ought the tall man was the master, and the short one his servant, as he always hired the cab. Joseph Carter deposed—He was a cabman, residing at 22, Baker-street, Camden-town, No. 4,477. He recollected being on the rank with his cab about 16 or 17 months ago, when be was hired by two men ; the prisoner Pierce is one of them, and Agar, who was here last Monday, was the other. They had two carpet bags—if not three, with them—each man carrying one. Re did not notice their dress. They put the bags into the cab and got in. The bags were heavy. He drove them by their direction to St. Thomas-street, in the Borough, and pulled up at the bottom of the bill past the two hospitals. On the cab stopping Agar got out, and turned round at the left towards the railway arch, leaving the other man and the bags in the cab. Aear returned in about half-an hour, and said to Pierce, "It wasn't going down to-night," He then got into the cab, and witness drove them to Mother Shipton, on Haverstock-hill. They got out and discharged him. They took the bags into the public-house, and witness pulled over the other side of the road, and on looking round he saw one of them carrying both bags. He did not notice how the men were dressed that night. Cross-examined by Mr. Wontner—He had no t read any account of this robbery in the newspapers. He did not hear Agar give his e'idence, or any part of it. He ,aw Agsr in the Court for a few minutes on the Jut examiLation. He was hired about 5 A'clock, but he would not be positive as to the time. He could not re• collect a fare he had before this on that night or the one after, nor any that he drove for the week. This was the only one be could recollect for the week. He cud tell by a man's actions if a bag he was carrying was heavy or not. He would not swear if the bags were made of carpet or leather. He knew Pierce's face well, because he hal seen him several times in Camden-town. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—He had never had any of the circumstances of the robbery read to him. The first application he had was from the waterman on Friday week. He had never been in this court before. Mr. Lewis—Were you ever in any court before ? Witness— Yes, once at Marylebone for being " intes ticated"—(laughter)—and he got off. Witness was cross•exaroined by Mr. Lewis as to his noticing the men when they hired him, and the dress they wore, and he excused himself for not being able to answer hisbquestions by saying that when a man was called off the ranks and had t ) twist about with a " spirited horse," he had to be on the look out and take care of " hisself." (Laughter) Mr. James Clements deposed that he resided at No. 3, Stanmore place, Gr.,ve-otreet, Camden-town. Last year he kept a coffee-house adjoining the Southampton Arms. He left in July, 1855. Ho recollected that threeahn it i mcicla hanr a he loft tcr,, -- -- to hishouse with carpet bags. It was about seven o'clock in the evening, and to the best of his recollection he had never seen them before. They remained about an hour or an hour and a half. Tan minutes or a quar ter of an hour after they came in one left, and the other remained an hour or so. They had some refreshment 4 then. Witness put a question to the man that remained about his friend being so long absent, and received an answer. On the return of the other man they took the bags and left. Ile could not recollect if they came to his house after. One was a fair complexioned man, the other had dark hair. [Agar is a fair complexioned man, with light hair and little whiskers.] They had a cab and left with the bags. John Honour deposed he was a hairdresser, residing in Lambeth-walk, near the Walnut tree-walk. He had known Pierce for four or five years, and when he lived at Walnut-tree walk he ofte❑ came to his chop. Wit ness dressed a dark, very near a black, wig for him. He said he wanted it for a friend Of his, an elderly gen tleman. Pierce left Walnut-tree-walk about two years since, and the wig was dressed for him shortly before that. This witness was not cross-examined. • John Alday, a lad, deposed that he resided at No. 2, Newbury.mews, in the neighbourhood of Haverstock hill, and near Crown-terrace. He remembered Wing a double handful of shot in Princess-place, by the side cf the kerb of the pavement; there were some other boys with me and they had some also; the shot was strewed all along Princess-place. A person walking from Crown terrace to Kentish -town would walk along Princess. place. He left school about three years since, and he found the shot a good while after tha'. Mr. John Matthews deposed he resided at 116, Lead. enhall street, and was the manager of Messrs. Massey's business, goldsmiths. On the 16th May, 1355, he pur chased 210 American gold eagles, and gave 2131. 10s. for them, and sold them immediately afterwards. He had a slight recollection of the purchase, and he believed it took place about 9 o'clock ; the shop opened about 8 o'clock, and this was the first transaction that roornins, in buying. He paid in gold procured fr •rn the Bank of England. H e so ld th e eaolee in the trade before paying for them at a p ro fit o f 11. ls. 10d.

Their shop is almost opposite the East I idia. House. Mr. W. S. Sterne, of the White Hart, Thomas-street, deposed that he ki ew Pierce perfectly ; he ales knew Burgess, and a man who calls himself Agar. He never knew him by name. He had known Burgess nine years, Pierce seven or eight, and he had seen Agar three or four times within a very short period, in his house, with the other two, previous and up to the time of the bullion robbery. Pierce and Burgess frequented his house. He could not say if he saw Agar there previous to the robbery. He had seen Burgess and Pierce at his house at all hours of the day. Agar came there generally about 7 o'clock in the evening. On 17th February last he received a parcel from Sarah Thompson, who was then his barmaid. In consequence of what she said to him he put the parcel in his cash box and there kept On the following night, or the night after, Burgess asked him it he had a parcel for him. Witness renlied he had, and handed to him in bis bar parlour the parcel he had received from the barmaid. He opened it in witness's presence, and it was found to contain bank notes, There were several, and they appeared to be valuable ones. His impression at the time was that they were more valuable than 51. notes, and he asked bins why he had not previously made him accpiainted with the value of the parcel. He replied he did not because he felt per. fectly satisfied it was safe in his hands. He then asked witness to take care of it ; it was the s av i ngs of years, and he wished witness to invest it for him. Witness said he should be glad to serve him, because ho had always had a good opi n i on of him. Witness suggested his opening a banking ac• count, and depositing it there ; and as a friend of his had a banking account he would introduce him. Burgess declined, saying he knew nothing mo ney matters, and would be satisfied by his (witness ' f o- s) taking charge of it. It occurred to witness to take the money to M essrs . Reid and Co., his brewers, who would allow 5 per cent. on all moneys deposited with them, and ho mentioned it to Burgess. He appeared satisfied, and on the following morning witness deposited the money, 500/. He told Messrs. Reid that the money belonged t o a friend of his. It was al! in Bank of England note s . H e gave Burgess the book he had received at Me ssrs. Reid ' s.

By Mr. Lewis—And prior to that there was not the slightest concealment. Sarah Thompson depo-ed she was barmaid to the last witness in February last. . She handed to Mr. Sterne a parcel she received from Richard Lee ; was a-ldressed, as near as she could recollect, to Mr. Burgess. She give it to Mr. Sterne in the same state as she received it. She was not present when the parcel was given to Burgess. She [minded on one occa-iion to Burgess St. Os. id. inte rest. Mr. Sterne had received from Messrs. Reid and Co. Mr. Bodkin said his next course would be to trace these notes, bat at that late hour he thought it was not advisable to enter on that part of the case, and therefore he proposed an adjournment, and a further remand of the prisoners. A circumstance, however, occurred at the last examination which might lead to defeating the ends of justice, and he therefore thought it right to mention it. During the interval of Evijournment on the last occa sion an opportunity was watched by a man in court to communicate with the prisoner Pierce. What that man said to Pierco he coulct not prove ; but he should call a man who hoard Pierce's answer, and that ho proposed to make evide, ce in the case. The Lord Mayor asked who had the prisoners in charge at the time. Partridge, one of the gaolers, said they were in the custody of Mundy, the other gaoler. Mr. Bodkin then called James Porter, who deposed that ho was the husband of sirs. P,.rter, already examined. H e was in court on the last examination of the prisoner. During the ad journment, on the former occasion he saw a man now in court speak to Pierce. What he said he did not hear, but he dis' inctly heard Pierce say in reply " Make away with them—destroy them." The man shortly after left the court. A stout, big man, with a ruddy complexion, was then ordered to stand forward, and he was identified by Porter as the man. In repty to questions from the Lord Mayor and Mr. Bodkin, he said that his name was Robert Dackombe, and that he was a stable-keeper, residing at Lower Mitcham. He denied that he had any communication with Pierce, as alleged. He said that he knew Pierce, having on one occasion bought a horse of him. He' also denied leaving the Court till 5 o'clock, at the end of the day's proceedings. From inquiries made by the Lord Mayor, it appeared that the detectives who had charge of the prisoners were unavoidably absent from the court at the time that they were left in the charge of the two gaolers, whose. duties were divided —on that occ,;.;ion in con sequence of Alderman Wire sitting in another part o the Mansion }louse fur the disposal of the ordinary night charges. Inspector Mitchell, who at this period came into court, said he had distinct recollection of seeing Dackombe lean over the board at the back of the prisoner, and communicate with Pierce. He leant forward, but coul not hear what he said. It was just, before five o'clock. After some remarks from the Lord Mayor, who said that police officers in charge of prisoners ought not to leave them during the time they were under examination, and that he would take mea sures to prevent the public from communicating in future with prisoners in the dock, Mr. Bodkin said be had thought it right to mention the matter, leaving it to the Lord Mayor to deal with Dackornbe as he thought best. Dackornbe denied that he came to the Court other than from curiosity, like many others. The subj- ct then dropped. Mr. Bodkin then applied for a formal remand of the prisoners to Monday next, and that then they should be further remanded for a week. Such a course, he thought, would save time, for by that time no doubt Teeter would be in custody. That course was resisted by Mr. Wontner and Mr. Lewis, and ultimately the prisoners were remanded till Tuesday next, when evidence will be proceeded with, and the bank notes traced. liaval and Military intelligence. The Clarendon screw steam-transport, No. 5, Captain Mitchell, arrived at Spitbead on Sunday evening from Cadiz, where she put in on the let of August on her way from Balaklava for Portsmouth, with 200 non• commissioned officers and men of various regiments in charge of horses, and 120 officers' chargers, &c. The troops came home in her Majesty's ship Centaur, and tee horses in the Albatross screw steam-transport. The Clarendon, on the occasion of putting into Cadiz Bay, had started some of her iron plates and had nine feet of water in her hold, and was compelled to be run ashore in Cadiz Bay (as we reported at the time on the arrival of her Majesty's ship Banshee). She has been detained since that time in repairing, &c. She now brings 27 of the lower deck guns of her Majesty's ship Queen, fit tines for troops, horses, &c. .i,eaan-sloop .bumleo• 6 Commander Gordon, returned from Plymouth to SpAhead on bun day, having severely tested at sea, as ordered, and at all rates of speed, Clifford's new method of lowering ships' boats ; on one occasion 15 persons (officers and men) were in the boat, besides all the gear. The results were all satisfactory. The Royal Artillery and Marines, according to a gar neon order recently issued at Woolwich, constituting each Monday a " marching day," were yesterday morn ing turned out with full equipments, and, accompanied by three full bands of music, proceeded, in divisional battalions, brigades, and batteries, through Nightingale place and over Plurestead-common, the column extend fig upwards of two miles. Major-Gen. Sir W. F. Wil liams, attended by his aide-de-camp, Lieut. 'Teesdale, and staff; ; Col. Bloomfield, A.D.C. to her Majesty, and superintendent of drills; and Col.-Commandant Brown, accompanied the troops. After an hour's march thence through Old Charlton, she cloudy state of the atmo sphere rendered it advisable to return to quarters. The squadron ofjunior recruits not joining in the march were put through a course of carbine drills and blank cart ridge firing on Woolwich-common. On Saturday the freight ship Akbar was towed down from Woolwich to Gravesend, and Col. Maclean and a detachment cmsisting of 18 gunners of the Royal Artil lery Regiment, and three women for Bermuda. Tue Ak bar sailed from Gravesend yesterday for her destination. H.M. paddlewheel steam troopship Dee, Master Commander T. C. Pullen, arrived at Woolwich yesterday morning from Poi tsmoutia and Plymouth, and has entered the basin to reload with steam machinery for the western yards. The speed of the Dee, it is under stood, has been considerably increased since the applica tion of the superheating steam apparatus ; notwithstand ing which", still greater advantages are contemplated by the substitution of a differently shaped boiler. The screw steam despatch vessel Roebuck, in tempo rary charge of Master Commander Allen, of the Admi ralty yacht Vivid, was yesterday morning hauled into basin at Woolwich Dockyard, in order to receive her guns and stores prior to her departure for Portsmouth on Thursday. The ceremony of warping the huge floating battery Thunderbolt, built by Messrs. Satnuda, out of the fitting basin at Woolwich took place yesterday morning. This was effected in the ordinary manner employed for the removal of ships to the river, and, from her singularly bulky and novel construction, it excited considerable in• terest. She then steered off under her own steam, and was taken in tow by the steam-tenders ItonkeY and Widgeon. Master-Commander Mugford, from is!ie Com modore's flagship Fisgard, and a party of riggers utjer" took the charge of the Thunderbolt to Chatham, where she is to be placed in reserve near Rochester-bridge. All her internal arrangements, together,witti the application of her ma c hi ner y, & c. , h ave b een carr i e d out i n Wool wich basin. She is now eomple'ed in elaborate style. The transports Olinda and Clarissa, having be-n ordered down from the Victoria Docks to Woolwich pier, commenced disch a r ging th e i r cargoes yester d ay morning, which consist of charcoal, tent flooring, mus kets, pickaxes, saddlery, stoves, cases of fur caps, and bales, returned from the East. Captain W. Mosse, 26th Cameronians, has been ordered to embark at Gravesend on Saturday next on board the Apollo, for Bermuda, to join the service com panies of his corps, for the purpose of instructing the officers and men of that regiment in the use of the En field rifle. Second-Class Instructor Griffiths, now sta tioned at Chatham garrison, will also embark with Cap tarn Mosse. The non-commissioned officers and men of the 40th depot were reassembled on the general parade ground of Chatham barracks on Sunday, for the purpose of giving an opportunity to those troops to volunteer who were desirous of joining any other corp, an order to that effect having been sent down to the commandant of the garrison from °the Horse Guards, the 40th Regiment being considerably above its war establishment. The order having been read to the troops, 54 men, who from various causes were not present on the former occ ksion of volunteering, immediately stepped to the front and offered themselves for various corps, the majority volun teering for the 11th or 99th Regiments. The 40th depot . has thus given considerably more than 200 men to van ous regiments which were below their prescribed esta blishment. As the 40th will shortly be removed from Chatham the volunteers will be at once forwarded to their regiments, on joining which each man will receive the promised bounty of one guinea. Eleven non-commissioned officers belonging to the 10th Hussars, selected by the authorities, and ordered to be transferred to the Cape Mounted Rifle Regiment, have b. en directed to proceed to the Provisional Batta lion, Chatham, where they will remain until tonnage has been taken up for their passage to the Cape of Good Hope, to join their new cerise, The following memorandum from Lient-General Sir Colin Campbell, to the officers commanding depot batta lions, has been issued " London, Nov. 21, 1856. " With respect to paragraph No. 27 in the circular memorandum, dated " Horse Guards, Oct. 13, 1856,' in which it is laid down that the commanders of depot bat talions, or their majors, shall examine the officers at least once a week in the subjects enumerated in paragraphs 1 to 9 inclusive of the circular memorandum, dated July 4, 1851,' the Inspector-General of Infantry desires that the commanders of depot battalions shall name one day in the week for this examination, and, moreo ver, that they shall name another day on w hi c h day the senior cs 4 ptain of each depot shall, after the orderly room business i• over, proc to examine his young or ueinstructed officers in :di detail of their duty, not merely as to drill, but in everything connected with the men's pay, powers of courts-martial and generally in the interior economy of a cere:pany, a/ 3 ,i the provisions of the good conduct warrant.' This prat• tice will be sure to make the senior captain himself bee- ,me well versed in all such details, and will also prepare the younger officers for the examination of the commander of the depot battalion. " With respect to paragraph No. 34, Sir Colin Campbell has ordered the following explanatory directions to be issued on the subject, of the manner in which guard-room and other prisoners are to be disposed of by the officers commanding depot battalions. While giving these ex planatory directions it is necessary to point out to commanders of depot battalions, as well as to the senior captains of depots, and to all the young officers be longing to depots, that the object of instituting these depot battalions is to instruct officers in the details of their profession—a sort of knowledge which is es -sentially necessary to be possessed by all officers ; and Sir Colin Campbell trusts to their good feeling and good sense in the hogs that , they will, for their part, endeavour to facilitate the 'moving of the machinery which has been thought requisite for this purpose. " The matter now in piestion is the manner of dealing with guard-room and other prisoners, which the Inspector- General of Infantry desires may be conducted thus : When a soldier is confined, a copy of his crime will be sent by the orderly serjeant of his company to the serjeant of the guard, for insertion in the guard report.' This , will be done within three hours after he has been made a prisoner, should that take place before tattoo ; if after tattoo, the crime will be sent to the serjeant of the guard by the men's breakfast hour next morning. , This- crime must, in either case, be signed by an officer. After the serjeant of the guard has copied it into the guard report, the crime will then be sent to the orderly room of the pri soner's own depot, where it is to arrive not later than 8.30 am. " After each crime has been inquired into by the senior officer of each depot respectively, the crime will be sent to the battalion officer to be compared with the guard report, and,as soon as all the prisoners are finally di -ooeafl of !I , the conrmander of the depot battaliot, e,mTthat 'the punish ments awarded by the senior captain of each depot have been confirmed or otherwise by the commander of tie bat talion, the original crimes are to be returned to the senior captain of each depot, with the punishment marked on the back, for entry in the defaulter book.' " Officers corn manding companiee are not to dispose of men after they have been confined in the guard-room. Their powers are to be limited to suchlight offences as can reason ably be disposed of at the moment, without confining the individuals—such as little breaches of company discipline, late at parade, careless at drill, talking in the ranks, and various complaints made by the non-commissioned officers. After a man is made a prisoner he must only be disposed of by the officer in charge of his depot, at the depot orderly room, or if necessary by the officer commanding the 13.3,t -taboo, in the following manner : " The prisoners will be brought to their depot orderly , rooms each moruiug at the hour prescribed by the com mander of the battalion, and then- cases will be fully and carefully gone into by the senior officers of their depots, and in the presence of their company officers. " The depot commanders may dispose of the light offences by awarding punishment to the extent of what a captain is competent to inflict, and he will write his award on the back of the crime. Any man whose crimes appear to deserve heavier punishment than the above, will be taken before the commander of the b dtalion to be dis posed of as soon as he is p re p are d t o rece i ve them, by suc cessive depots. The depot commander and company offi cer will, of course, attend. As soon as the battalion com mander has disposed of these prisoners, and has satisfied himself about the correctness of the punishments that have be, n awarded by his depot commanders, the defaul ters will be marched away and disposed of as may have been decided upon. " With respect to paragraph No. 31, it will suffice that au officer shall be present at the daily payment of his men, and that he shall put his name at the foot of each daily column of payments as a voucher that he saw the money paid. The men for guard will be paid before they go on guard in the presence of au officer, and when no money is paid to any individual then a figure 'o' or' zero' will be put into the square opposite his name.—By order.

On Thursday last the following letter to the Pre sident of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce was read at the meeting of the directors, from Mr. Cobden, M.P. : "Glyn Garth, near Bangor, Nov. S. "My dear Sir, —Will you allow me to call your at • tention to. a pending diplomatic negotiation in which our commercial and manufacturing interests are deeply involved ? You will have observed a declaration made by the late Paris Congress against privateering. That resolution was afterwards submitted for the approval of the American Government, whose answer has not, I think, attracted all tie attenion it deserves from our mercantile community. "In substance, Mr. Marcy, the United States' Foreign Secretary, says We do not maintain, like the great European Powers, arge warlike e 4 b, ahlishm.r, in tl,”w of peace, and therefore we should, in case of hostilitie, rely on the public spirit and patriotism of our private citizens, who would, with the sanction of Government, convert our merchant ships into vessels of war. To deny to this improvised navy the right of making prizes of your mercantile shipping, while to the thousands of vessels constituting your Royal and Imperial navies this privilege is to be reserved, would be voluntarily to sur render our commerce to annihilation. On no conditions whatever will the American Government renounce the use of its mercantile marine in case of war ; and the same power to burn, capture, or sink enemy's property which you give to your Imperial or Royal navies we shall give to our naval volunteers, whether they be called privateers or by any other name. But being anxious to promote the object - , aimed at by the Congress we invite you to carry out your pr.nciple by going one step further —exempt private property on the ocean from seizure by Government-armed cruisers, as well as by privateers, and the United States will readily meet you on that broad ground.' " Now, really, there is no logical way of meeting this proposition but by an instant acquiescence ; and, had it not been misrepresented, and dealt with iu a flippa:lt spirit by some of our journals, it must have receives as unanimous an assent in this country as it has from all parties in the United States. " But, with this declaration against privateering at the Paris Congress, two other resolutions were coupled, and had their full scope been understood by our pimp teetiaeies, it would have led . them propo , e to add to M. Walewski's protocol the very clause which has now been' sugge'ted by Mr. Marcy. " The Congress declared : " That the neutral lag covers an enemy's goods, with the exception of contraband of war. " That neutral goods, with the exception of contra band of war, are not liable to capture under an enemy's flag.' "These resolutions reverse the most venerated judg• inents of our Admiralty Courts, and, for the Srst time, impart the force of maritime law to principles which were resisted by England against the world in arms down to the close of the war in 1815. Withous d welling on the imperious necessity which led us during the late R,u3sian war to abandon our ancient belligerent rights, let us L,ok at the altered position in which we should be placed in case of a future rupture with a maritime power. " We will suppose—and it is no great stretch of the imagination, after all that diplomacy has achieved during the last three years—that we are at war with France. I remember hearing the late Mr. Samuel Gurney' state, in the presence of the Prime Minister of the time, as the result of careful inquiry, that the atuouot of British pi.- pb isty in ships and cargoes afloat averaged from 80,000,00 01 . to 10‘.,1, 000,0001. sterling, It would be a liberal estitusee t o p u t e Liwn the amount owned by France at from 20,000,0001; to 30,000,000/, We should thus have nearly four times as much private property exposed to the de predations of Gove;oment cruisers as our enemy. But under the new maritinee code, which admits the competi tion of neutrals, it may Leidy be questioned w hethera merchant ship under either a the belligerent flags would l. long continue to find it p rofitable to keep the sea. 11+t roads, which transmit the heaviest commodities 500 miles with little detriment to their exchangeable value, have vir tually put an end to blockades. France, in case of war, could use the ports of Belgium , H olland, or Germany, through which channels hercommerce, even with England, I might be carried on in neutrals, for, once on board an American or llutoh ship, French exports or im ports would be safe from molestation. The same applies toßritish °ow modities, whether imported raw materials or exported manufactures ; they would be liable to seizure only when on board a British vessel. Now, I ask, would it be possible for French and English ships and cargoes, which would be subject to a charge of 10 or 20 per cent. for assurance against risk of capture, to compete with the neutral flags which would be free from any such burden ? And bear in mind that our loss would be fourfold that of our enemy, owing to the larger amount of our tonnage exposed to this unequal competition. "Or, let us suppose ourselves at war with the United States. It may be estimated that the value of American property afloat on salt water (a large part of their navi gation is upon the interior lakes and rivers) does not exceed the half of ours. Unless their late proposal were previously adopted, the old system of privateering would be in force en both sides, to which we should offer two• thirds of the prey to one-third. But the rights of neutrals which were proclaimed at the Paris Congress would admit all the European flags to bring and carry to and from England and America the produce of both countries without tisk of capture during the war. Again, I would ask—could a vessel bearing the British ag keep the sea under these circumstances, with 500 or 1,000 armed American vessels cruising against our commerce Z It is clear that nobody would charter an English vessel, and pay a heavy insurance against capture, when a neutral ship could he bad free from any such charge. The practical effect, then, of the alterations made in our maritime law at the Paris Conferences, if we do not go further, would be, in case of war with a naval Power, to transfer the cerrying trade even of our own ports to neutral bottoms. It is then our interest especially, and beyond all other countries, to go forward in the path to which the Americans have invited us. "I cannot help r-gretting, as an Eugliihman, t hat the proposal did no t or i g inate with us. But the next best thing will be to give it a prompt and hearty accept auce, arilaid in securing for it , if pos sible, a world-wide accluiehi:.ence. It is impossible to foresee all the conse- quenecs of gileli a revolution i n the rules of war.

These are some of the obvious consequence* of this proposed innovation upon the traditions and pre cedents Of the last eetr ury. The eiereantile world wil', I trust, allow its voice to be hard upon the question by Government and Parliament ; and it is in the hope that the chamber will throw the weight of its great influence into the scale of humanity and progressive civilisation that I have ventured to trouble you with this letter. " I remain, very truly yours, " RICHARD COBDEN. " Thomas Dazley, Esq., President of the Manchester Chamber of Counnerce." (From the Times. ) Nobody can bo surprised to learn that Mr. Cob den has accepted without reserve the proposition of Mr. Secretary Marcy with regard to the rights of belligerents, for it is well known that if that gentleman were our War Miuister he would proceed at once to disband our army, to discharge our navy, to dismantle our fortifications, and to dispose of our stores at Woolwich to the dealers in old iron. We, too, have all along confessed to a strong lean ing in favour of Mr. Marcy's proposal, and we should be glad if we could see our way to an un qualified approval of what, ou the surface at least, appears to be so fair. " There is no such gai n o f time," says Lord Bacon, "as to iterate often th e state of the question ; and it may therefore be well to remind our readers that at the Congress of Paris the Plenipotentiaries assembled declared on behalf of their respective countries that privateering is abolished, an d th a t ( a lways excepting contraband of war) enemy's goods in neutral vessels,' and neutral goods in enemy's vessels, are exempt free - .. - ton. It was supposed that when the grt .1)_941a Rowers wexe-willing to mitigate the horrtgeof war by voluntarily waiving their undoubted rights, the whole civilised world would be ready to give iu their adhesion to an agreement so honourable. It was found, however, that the United States hesi tated as to the first clause of the declaration,=-- namely, that which 'elated to the abolition of privateering. Only on one condition was Mr. Marcy willing to accede to this abolition.— " that the private property of the subjects or citizens of belligerents on the high seas shall be exempted from seizure by public armed vessels of the other belligerent, except it be contraband." The proposal, therefore, is that maritime warfare shall become a mere duel between the hostile Governments and their forces, no private parties being attacked or allowed to attack. We ham several times expressed some surprise that our American friends have been unable to see the dif- fereuce between the depredations of privateers and of a regular navy. War becomes necessarily inhu man when every person is permitted to take part in the strife ; not subject to command, unaccus tomed to discipline, under no restraint, having no hope of superior reward, and looking only to the present, it is fearful to contemplate the excesses to which privateers, far more than regular combat ants, are tempted. All this, however, Mr. Marcy has overlooked ; he insists upon the right as a most important one, but he is willing to sign it away on the above condition,—that private property on the high seas, whether an enemy's, or in neutral ves sels, be respected. Hereupon Mr. Cobden takes up the tale, and draws a pleasant picture of the world at peace and leaving Kings and Govern ments to settle their quarrels as best they can, — something like the prize-fighters, who, with some score of two of their friends, hire a special train, go twenty miles out of town, select some quiet field, and there, "The world forgetting, by the world forgot," fly at each other without fear of the police anal without thought of life. For the first time in the history of the human race the rights of individuals are to be respected. There shall be no mote plun der and prize-money to stimulate cupidity and to give a zest to cruelty ; there shall be no fewer taxes to sustain great armies and to increase great navies ; and, in short, trade will flourish more and more, war will gradually cease from the earth, and the Peace Society, having done its work, will be dispersed, even as the Anti-Corn Law League. All this is very fine, and as a mere matter of theory we are willing to go pretty far with Mr. Cobden. We do not; wick hi - in believe it to be possible to abolish war ; but it is possible to reduce war to the condition of a duel between respective Governments.; and who would not welco - me any expedient that is likely to save the unoffending people from the crimes and miseries of such a " fierce arbitrament ?" But evidently, if war is to be reduced to the limits of a duel, the duel must be on fair terms. It is not fair for a man who has all his life been accustomed to snuff out candles with his pistol to summon a poor fellow who knows not where the trigger is to an exchange of shots ; it is not fair for a man who is a perfect fencer to cross swords with another who pretends to be no thing better than a good boxer ; and, if close at tention be given to the tendency of this discussion, it will be found that, while the proposal of Mr. Marcy is most specious in theory, its practical re sult must be to make us fight a duel on unequal terms. For let us carry out the theory to its logi cal consequences. If we are to respect private property on the high seas, why not the coast?— why not on land his impossible to draw a line of distinction that shall have any ground in reason. The rule must be made universal, and, if so, it is quite apparent to what object we are tending. We are tending to the disarmament of our principal force in the interest of our continental Poirers and of America. We rely upon our navy, and we are told to abolish it, and to fight our battles with our weakest arm against the strongest arm of our neighbours. It may suit America, with her vast seaboard entirely Unprotected, it may suit the continental States with their immense armies and feeble navies, to adopt Mr. Marcy's proposition, and among themselves it may be quite fair that they should fight in this fashion. The question is, are we willing to fight a duel on thee terms ? Let no one be surprised if the whole civilised world be against us, and in favour of Mr. Cobden's policy of peace. All the civilised world will be gainers, and we the only losers, as we alone have a formidable navy ; and if we accept the terms we shall be able only to dash our ships against stone walls. Of this kind of warfare we have had experience enough in the late conflict, and it is not likely that we shall, for the benefit of our enemies, consent to fight at such a disadvantage. The truth is, indeed, i that ca rr yi ng this principle of Mr. Marcy s to its legitimate conclu sions, we should have n the end to abolish ene f il o a r in the Y rp o o o r blockades, and there would be absolutely no rea son for the pcouastO save erectionfor the f se of preventing an army fr om l an di ng. As protection f arsenals an it would be useless to attack such fortresses as Cronstadt, our fleets therefore would become null, save for cruising on the high seas, where there is no other navy to oppose, all being snugly laid up behind impregnable walls. It appears io us, after reconsidering the subject, that, in consenting to respect the private property of neutrals in an enemy's vessels, and the private property of an enemy in neutral vessels, we have granted all that we can afford. Mr. Cobden argues that the result of such a regulation will be simply that enemies goods will be transferred to neutral vessels, and that we shall be so far losers in trade. In so arguing, how ever he goes entirely ou the asoumption that there is no blockade of the enemy's 0 ,, a 0 , and that we have not a navy adequate .to the protection of our mercantile fleets. The wi . sh , is fathOr to the thought. He shows, for ei_a..m,P a l ye e that if N ,ve were at war with France we should have 11 that four tune's the amount of property on the Frene,h merchants have ; depredations be four tar, es as much exposed to the ..o P ng r i vision of Govern ; eat cruisers.
