THE SUN. LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 23, 1861. The Conservative Opposition appears to have hardly yet made up its mind as to the course it may eventually pursue in regard to the Budget which has now been submitted to the House of Com mons by Mr. GLADSTONE, as the responsible Financier in Lord PALMERSTON'S Government. Yesterday the intimation put forward in the chief daily organ of conservatism, was to the effect that an amendment would probably be moved, in the interests of his party, by the hon. gentleman the member for Huntingdon. The evening comes on, however, and, with it, the motion that the House go into Committee of Ways and Means. Mr. THOMAS BALING duly rises, as had been anticipated, to open the dis cussion upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer's Financial Statement, but after addressing the House for some considerable time, adversely to the Budget, resumes his seat without any hint at all of a forthcoming amendment ! Several hours are afterwards consumed by other' representatives—speaking for the most part alter nately for and against the fiscal and financial scheme of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. How far party feeling inspires the debaters may be recognised, as the phrase is, with half an eye. No sooner has the Tory member for Huntingdon re sumed his seat after going dead against the Budget —it must be confessed, by the way, as dead against it, as even that great Liberal Free-Trade organ of finance The Economist—when the ultra• Radical member for the fashionable town of Brighton springs to his feet, eagerly, for the purpose of giving not simply a partial or moderate support, but an unqualified approval to the Budget. Altogether, eight spoke " against" and seven " for" the Finan cial Propositions of Mr. GLADSTONE. The two inaugurators of the discussion we have already particularised. The seven supporters of Mr. BAR INC;'S argument—the six participators in Mr. WneTE's admiration yet remain to be briefly enumerated. Following the line of argu ment already pursued by the Honourable Gentleman the Member for Huntingdon, the noble lord the member fur Huntingdonshire took exception to the Budget as a whole, principally because—as the liberal free trade financial Economist had already done in the course of its terrible analysis of Mr. GLADSTONE'S calculations on Satur day—he deemed the surplus of nearly two millions, the surplus of £1,923,000, an illusory surplus, a wholely imaginary surplus, a sort of charming mirage conjured up in the perspective by the com bined agency of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's vivid imagination and his sanguine temperament. Pressing forward steadily in the same direc tion, as earnestly each of them in search of an amendment as CULEBS could ever have been in search of a wife, or as Dr. SYNTAX in search of the Picturesque, came later on in the evening, at intervals the Conservative members for North Warwickshire, for Stirlingshire, for Inver ness-shire, for Chippenham, for Mallow, for West Norfolk, and to crown the list with the ablest speaker upon finance among them all, the hon. baronet the member for the borough of Stamford, SirSTAFFonD NOP.THCOTE. As strenuously in favour of the Budget thus opposed by eight members upon the side of the Opposition, were the seven Liberals, above and below the gangway on the Mini sterial side of the House, these seven wise men who were last night bent upon supporting through thick and thin the financial policy of Lord PAL MERSTON'S Government. Treading thus rapidly upon the heels of one another after the lead made in yesterday's discussion by the Radical member for Brighton, came in due sequence the Liberal members for Montrose, for East Sussex, for Dumfries, for Edin burgh, and for Norwich. The ex-Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs in Lord DERBY'S Govern ment, the hon. gentleman, or as political grati tude (if there be such a thing !) ought certainly to have rendered him, before the late Cabinet r esigned office, the Right Hon. Gentleman the l''eeeber for Horsham, moving what was reluc tantly consented to, at last, by the leader of the Hous e and the Chancellor of the Ex chequer th e adjournment of the de bate until Thursday evening ! And so the matter rests for the time being, vaguely, dubiouslY enough under the circumstances. Not a glimmering yet of any specific Amendment having been determined 11,p„ by the Opposition. Is it, can it be ? that the Or positi on stands in that hesitat ing position Sketched out in singl e line by the master satirist— "Willing to wound and yet afraid t o 0 , 642 , Whatever the reason may be — there i s the fact, at any rate, quite visibly before the country and beore Parliament. It is a circumstance full of encourage_ meat to Her MAJESTY'S Ministers. s o far, at least, as matters have yet gone, Mr. GLADSTON E has cause only to hope for the acceptance of his Financial Propositions one after another in due succession. His speech is still remembered, as it was recognised at the time, as a masterpiece. It was a speech full of ingenuity—and superficially also possessing throughout an air of ingenuousness. I The one weak point now, upon careful considera tion, we take to be the Surplus which he is ant ici paling. A surplus of nearly two millions sterling —in spite of the bad harvest, the after effects of which the country has not yet quite realised—in spite of the disastrous state of things in Hindostan, threatening our commercial relations Nv ith the far East—in spite of the imminent possibility, if it be not, alas ! at this moment the actual certainty of civil war between the Northern and Southern States of the American Confederation, threatening our commercial arrangements in the far East—in spite of our declining industry, the Board of Trade returns showing a falling off of fully seventeen per cent. on the two opening months of the present year ! Counting upon a clear surplus of £1,923,000 in spite of all these lugubrious indications of the future is certainly so far, we cannot but think, like calculating the number of chickens we expect to chip the shell after the ordinary period required for incubation—counting the full complement of chickens from a nest-full of eggs, several of which eggs are already known to be addled. Taking one single item in that hoped-for and indeed confidently promised Surplus of £1,923,000, taking the best part of one moiety of the surplus, the sum of £750,000 counted upon by Mr. GLADSTONE in the shape of the Chinese indemnity to be received within this financial twelvemonth —it has been felt from the first to have been somewhat of a delusion on the part of our Chan cellor of the Exchequer calculating upon handling these three-quarters of a million before the year shall be out, in the form of good sycee silver to be brought from the opposite ends of the earth and poured in a glittering shower, an all but Dan man shower, into the lap of the Old Lady of Threadneedle street. Don't we wish we may get it ? That is the one ejaculation provoked by Mr. GLADSTONE'S delight ful calculation. What probability we have of realising this dim ghostly phantom of a hope may be estimated by any one who will turn to a dreadful little damper of a letter sent us by a correspondent (formerly of China), whose remarks it will be there seen have been elicited:by the argument we took oc casion to put forward upon the subject of the Chinese war, together with its past, present, and future ex penses in our impression of Saturday evening. Our correspondent, it will be observed, writes thus in the course of his communication:—" Mr. GLADSTONE in his budget takes credit for £750,000 for China indemnity money to be received up to March, 1862." Remarking thereupon—" Lord JOHN RUS SELL has stated that the claims of the British merchants in Canton amount to £450,000, or rather more; Lord ELGIN'S claim for their indemnity amounted to £666,000 (or two millions of taels), and that amount probably includes interest. Surely Mr. GLADSTONE does not intend to appropriate this money of the Canton merchants in order to make up a balance in his favour for this year; without calculating upon it his budget would show a defi ciency instead of a surplus ; and the question is, will Mr. Bruce have arranged to pay the indem nity for Canton losses this year? If he has so arranged—and Lord JOHN RUSSELL has declared that the matter rests with Mr. BRUCE—then Mr. GLADSTONE has no surplus." These and other scarcely less startling reflections would certainly appear to render it very incumbent upon the House of Commons to look well into the reality of the surplus anticipated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, before daring rashly and precipitately to avail themselves of it. The more that sur plus is looked into, the more it appears to dwindle away. Besides which, Mr. GLADSTONE acknowledges himself to have been so indifferent a prophet last year (vide the preamble of his Budget Speech on Monday evening), that the Country, the House can hardly be expected to accept upon his simple dictum his predictions for the next financial Twelvemonth. Let us make quite certain, to begin with, that lie is not again miscalculating when he talks of a surplus—•a surplus that if this next year but turns out to resemble in any way its immediate predecessor, will assuredly prove on the contrary to be a consider able deficit. Satisfied in the first place that the anticipated surplus now tallied of is really and truly a probable surplus, a bona fide anticipation—we may then conscientiously and prudently, with a good heart, and with an earnest determination, take into consideration Mr. GLAD STONE'S propositions for the diminution of one grinding and oppressive tax, and for the total abolition, if need be, of an old fashioned impost:. hitherto interfering with the due development of our commerce and manufactures, while, at the same time, seriously militating against the higher and loftier interests of literature. The cloud which has been long threatening in Ame rica has not yet broken, and, alarming as were the last telegraphic accounts, it does not seem likely to burst yet. We, afar from the scene of action, and looking coolly on what excites those confronted with each other, strongly recognise what they, after all, instinctively feel—that fratricidal bloodshed would be an evil for which nothing can compensate. There are movements, indeed, by the administration —naval movements especially —now reported, which might be warlike, but there is every reason to hope they are purely defensive. The Adminis tration keeps its secrets as well as Mr. GLADSTONE did before the 15th, and its views can hardly be judged but by its acts, and these, of course, for a long time are of uncertain interpretation. Sew ral United States' ships of war are in course of equip ment, and many steamers have been engager] of which the destination was quite uncertain. We only know that from Charleston information comes that seven vessels were lying off the port with the intention of relieving Major ANDERSON in Fort Sumpter, and that he had recognised their approach by rockets. The Carolinians have always doclared that they should look on an attempt to relieve the fort as an act of war, but they h ave themselves commenced bloodless acts of war by re fusing any longer to supply provisions to the fort, and thus rendering its surrender or its relief by the Government at Washington, necessary. It seems also quite certain now that the Government will reinforce and supply the forts of Key West and Tortugas at the entrance of the Gulf of Me a:ico ; these forts are on islands out at sea, and therefore can hardly be regarded like forts Sumpter and Pickens as military stations directly hostile ti the, seceded States. They would, however, as the Southern States have no navy, be excellent p Dints of action for the Federal Government, which will always be able to support them, and can make 4 ; hem if requisite the basis of operations against the oGulf Statca from Texas to Florida. Some of the ace° , unts say that the stores and equipments sent out an ) of a kind which show that it is intended to operat eon the coast of Texas. It may be so, but othen tell us, apparently with better reason, that the forts 41) "e mentioned are the immediate object of the expedition. At Charleston, though all is excitement, 1 •roops marchi ng hither an d t hi ther, the batteries e very now and then manned, as if they meant to do s ome thing, and a floating battery, described as NWT awkward construction, dragged into the harbour, yet nothing decisive is done. Bloodshed the Charlestonians declare to be " inevitable." It has however happily been avoidable yet; and what reason is there why both parties should not for an indefinite period continue to face each other as they do, only threatening like angry schoolboys, but acting more wisely than coming to actual conflict. The assailants of Fort Pickens appear to be in much the same temper. Though so numerous, and ever ready with threats, they do not fire a shot, and the little garrison will certainly not attack them. The new PRESIDENT'S policy appears, however, to be too pacific to rally his followers to his sup port. It is now certain that the Republicans have been beaten by the l)emoerats at many States elec tions, and at some for Congress itself. Five of the twenty-nine Republican representatives in New England have failed to secure their re-election to Congress. The loss has been in the States of Mas sachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. In the local elections they have also met with numerous severe defeats ; and these e:ections are said to be as much clue to hostility against the LINCOLN Cabinet as to a wish to reorganise the plan and basis of the Union. The Republicans complain that in Illinois, while the South is openly defying the laws, the obnoxious Fugitive Slave Law is executed in favour of the rebellious States, that a man and his wife and child were quite recently sent back again to slavery, and that the fugitives in Illinois are emi grating by hundreds to Canada. Mr. LINCOLN'S reply is obvious ; but we can hardly wonder that popular feeling revolts at such things under a pro fessed anti-slavery PRESIDENT. The South will not be brought back by such apparent trimming; which, however, is but the logical result of Mr. LINCOLN'S principle of treating the rebellion as a nullity. He is, from his'position, obliged to deal with them as if they were obedient, orderly States, and that while he is sending ships of war with diffi culty to relieve the forts beleagured by them. The border free State of Pennsylvania and the border slave State of Virginia have each taken a step, important because of their population and influence. In Pennsylvania the Governor has sent a message to the house recommending the organiza tion of the Militia, and other measures of defence, as he had received a communication from the President that an attack was meditated on Wash ington. He professed, however, entirely peaceful views. Virginia has passed a resolution to the effect, that, regarding the injury to commerce by the present unsettled state of things, it appoints a committee of three delegates to ask the PRESIDENT what course he intends to take ; and that " the people of Virginia consent to the separate indepen dence of the seceded States ; that they shall be treated as independent powers, and that proper laws be passed to effect their separation." It is surprising how soon the late war-like rumours have ended in things remaining as they were before. There has been a storm, indeed, in the Chambers at Turin with GARIBALDI for its dEolus and CATOUR for its Neptune. In England we read with little surprise of the warmth of the great General and his hot attack on the Minister. We have had such things in our own House of Com mons frequently enough, and if it is but a soldier or sailor's attack—we pronounce it quite natural. The Minister looks round on the' House with a glance, as much as to say, this you know is all quite natural, and proceeds to make such quiet business remarks as the case may require, in a tone and style which treat the man of the camp or ship of war as not exactly amenable to ordinary rules. It is, however, really surprising to see how , Count CAYOUR has acted the same part, as nearly as possible, under circumstances more trying than ever fell to the lot of an English Minister, and yet the Count's training in constitutional practice has been but a brief oue, indeed, compared with that of our veteran statesmen, who never had a GARIBALDI, the saviour of his country, and the idol of all free nations of the day, to contend with. Hot as the General became, yet neither he nor CAyoun have lowered themselves in the eyes of . Europe. In the end, indeed, both showed how much they could put up with for their country's sake. All the world looking on sees in both of them men almost miraculously fitted for their parts, by what Lord ELLENBOROUGH designated the other day as a special providence. Neither of them could have done what the other has ; each has done, what perhaps no other living man could have accomplished, to perfection. CATOUR has steered the vessel of the State through almost unparalleled political difficulties ; GARIBALDI has pioneered the conquest of Italian liberty with means which would have possibly failed in the hands of the greatest commanders. To them both, but certainly most to GARIBALDI, the Italian Par liament which they addressed owes its existence. It could but deplore their quarrel, yet it could not in heart blame either. It must have sympathised, as we all do, with GARIBALDI'S indifference to rewards for himself and his uncontrollable ardour on behalf of the volunteers, " the Southern army," with which he had conquered from Marsala to Naples, and shown CIALDINI the road to Gaeta. Yet it felt equally sure of CAYOUR'S devotion to his country, and far more confidence in his knowledge of what was now the wisest political course. The enemies of Italy will, however, have no cause for exultation over a feud between the military and the political saviour of Italy. They were both of then men too great to make a football of their country, or to allow their quarrels to injure her interests. CANOUR candidly sympathised with GARIBALDI'S feeling respecting Nice—" making him a foreigner in his own country," he proved his high apprecia tion of volunteers by facts, and General GARIBALDI softimed down into the acknowledgment that the Count was faithful to his country, though he should personally have preferred a bolder man. He would seize Rome and Venetia ; CATOUR waits for them,—certain that he shall have them. TILE EXHIBITION or 1862.—We are requested to remind intending exhibitors in the industrial department of the Exhibition of 1862, that Her Majesty's Commis sioners have named the Ist of May next as the date before which all applications for space must be sent in. 13y far the larger portion of the space which can be allotted to British exhibitors has already been applied for. DEATH OF MR. DAVID PUGH, M.P.—Mr. David Pugh, M.P. for the Montgomery district of boroughs, died on Saturday at his seat, Llanerchydol, near Welshpool. The hon. gentleman was born in 1789, and was the only son of Mr. Charles Pugh, of Parry-hill, Kent, by the third daughter, of Mr. William Lloyd, of Montgomery. SOUTHWARK ELECTION.—The writ for this election having been received by the High Baiiitf,Wednes dav (to-mcrrow) is appointed for the election of a member to 1111 the seat vacated by Mr. Locke on his acceptance of the Rccordership of Bri&iton. The nomination will tike place at the South London Depository, London-road, at 11 o'clock a.m. Up to the present time no candidate is before the electors to oppose Mr. Locke's re-election, nor is any opposition expected to this gentleman's return, as he is highly popular amongst all parties and classes in the borough. TYNEROUTII ELECTION.-TYNEMOUTIT, M ON - D.lY.—This morning the nomination of candidates for the vacant seat in the representation of Tynemouth took place. John Dryden, Esq., nominated Richard Hodgson, Esq. ; Mr. Aldermazt Popplewell, Lloyds' surveyor, seconded the nomination. .John Fawcus, Esq., iron -merchant, nomi nated.

TO TFIEEDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,---When the total cost of the China war is known it will astonish some of the members who take little notice of Chinese affairs. The votes already granted to defray the expenses may help to cover the cost of coals, transports, and extra expenditure; but the pay of the army, navy, and diplomatic staff will also form a serious addition ; so that, when the whole truth is known, some 10 or 12 millions will have been expended. There is still a large naval force in China, and about 10,000 British troops remain there " to secure the stipula tions of the treaty," at an expense far exceeding the indemnity to be received. In the House of Commons a mist appears to arise whenever any matter relating to China is dis cussed : the most opposite statements are made, and no one discovers the contradictions. Take, for in stance, the following :—Mr. Gladstone in his budget takes credit for £750,000 for China indemnity money to be received up to March, 1862. Lord John Russell has stated that the claims of the Bri tish merchants in Canton amount to £450,000, or rather more ; Lord Elgin's claim for their indem nity amounted to £666,000 (or two millions of taels), and that amount probably includes interest. Surely Mr. Gladstone does not intend to appropriate this money of the Canton merchants in order to make up a balance in his favour for this year ; without calculating upon it his budget would show a de ficiency instead of a surplus ; and the question is, will Mr. Bruce have arranged to pay the in demnity for Canton losses this year ? If he has so arranged—and Lord John Russell has declared that the matter rests with Mr. Bruce—then Mr. Gladstone has no surplus. The Chinese had to pay 500,000 taels at Tien-tsin, and about 200,000 at Canton, in fact a little over £200,000, and that covered the whole actual cash payment towards the indemnity, and it has all been paid. The rest is to be deducted quarterly from the revenue de rived by the Chinese from foreign duties to the extent of one-fifth of the gross amount. This fifth may be estimated at something over £450,000 per annum, so that Mr. Gladstone takes a very full estimate when he counts upon £750,000 It must be borne in mind that even taking into account this amount of credit, there is all the cost of the force in China, which properly should be charged against it, for it is kept there partly to secure the indemnity, but its expense is lost sight of in the general total of navy and army estimates. There will, in reality, be no indemnity derived from China for the benefit of the British Govern ment and relief of the British taxpayer ; and the amount which Mr. Gladstone takes credit for this year is, in reality, nearly all due to the British mer chants who were burnt out of Canton. The article in Vie Sun of Saturday has drawn attention to this subject, and must serve as my ex cuse for offering this statement to clear away the mist.—Your obedient servant, April 22,1861. J. S., late of China. FATAL CARRIAGE ACCIDENT.—A melancholy and fatal event occurred at Tadcaster, between York and Leeds, on Friday last. On that day Mr. and Mrs. John Wormald were returning in their own carriage, drawn by a pair of spirited horses, from Skelton Hall, near York, the residence of Mr. W. W. Battye ; and the coachman drove on all right for a distance of nine miles, until he got to the bottom of the hill leading into Tadcaster, where he overbalance] himself trying to ease the break. He fell off, and was pitched on to the ground with great violence, and the horses taking fright galloped madly through the town, Onward the furious animals dashed, spreading surprise and alarm on every side ; but on reaching the first tollgate in the direction of Leeds, it .eeras that they bated a little, and Wormald determined to sie e the opportunity of leaping out, fearing that to remain would.be inevitable death. He did so, and received a few bruises about the face. Unfortu nately, Mrs. Wormald tried to follow her husband's ex ample, but in endeavouring . to do so, she fell heavily upon the ground, fractured her skull, and expired almost imme diately. The coachman was a gocd deal injured by his fall, but not seriously. The death of Mrs. Wormald, under the painful eireunastatees just narrated, has excited great sympathy, the more so as she and her husband were returning from the celebration of the marriage of her brother (Mr. Thomas Hague Cock) to Miss Mary Elizabeth Bettye, which► 11 acl taken place at Skelton ou the previous day. LAW -INTELLIGENCE (nds Day). EXCHEQUER COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Channell.) LAST V. DOWLING' This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant for illegal distraint. The defendant, it appeared, had a claim of £2,000 against Mr. E. T. Smith, and the contents of the premises occupied by the Savoy Printing Company, in Savoy. street, being alleged to be his property, an execution was levied by the sheriff on thaw for the amount. The plaintiff denied that the property in question belonged to Mr. Smith, and brought tho present action against Mr. Dowling to eject the sheriff. Mr. Montague Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Joyce appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Serjeant Ballan tine, Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Salter appeared for the defendant. Mr. M. Chambers, having opened the case, proceeded to examine his witnesses. James Last, examined by Mr. Joyce—l am the plaintiff in this action. I know Mr. E T. Smith, and have done so for the last 20 years. 1 was formerly in the employ of the late Mr. Francis, printer. Mr. Smith always professed the greatest friendship for me, and promised to start me in business. I had some conversation with him about opening a printing •office in the Savoy. I was to manage the business. I was to take £3 a week during the time Smith was making advances until business got on. I made return statements to Smith in writing. There was nothing mentioned about my becoming a partner except that after the thing was paid for Smith was to have half of the business, and I the other. Mier the business had gone on some time I asked Smith to carry out his agreement. He told me he had an agreement drawn up, but that his solicitors, Messrs. Lewis, would not allow him to sign it. He gave as a reason that he should be glad to do it if the thing was paid for. I men tioned the agreement to him repeatedly, but he always re fused to carry it out. I recollect meeting Mr. Smith with Mr. Wyld. Mr. Smith commenced talking about the printing office to Mr. Wyld, and said Mr. Last is a very old friend of mine, and I believe a sincere one. What I have done at the printing office I have done to serve him. In June last I was introduced to Mr. Phillips about some goods. It was before the goods were delivered. Smith told him he was desirous of serving me, and he was to give me as long a time to pay as possible. The business was carried on under thA style of Last and Co. In about eight weeks after I altered the imprints to the Royal Printing Company. Smith had work done to the amount of £1,187 Os. Od. without ere lit. The printing for Smith was from the commencement, and lasted until four days beforPthe seizure. I wrote t) Mr. Smith about the amount. I did not keep a copy of it. Mr. Smith was next called upon to produce the letter, but he said he had not such a one. Witness continued—About four days before the seizure I took him a list of the debts and asked him for some money. He said he had not got any, but I had better see Mr. Bran don, his attorney. I did not get any money. I had never heard of Mr. Smith being indebted to Mr. Dowling before. The execution came in on the Wednesday before Good Friday. At that time the Sheriff had seized the presses. I had a considerable quantity of work to do. Sloman had the warrant. I saw him and had a conversation with him. Mr. Hawkins objected to evidence of that descripfon. By the Judge—Smith was a guarantee for me. Nothing was said about interest. In fact he was always largely in my debt. Examination continued—l had a debtor named Dethier ; his name was on the likt. I proved my debt through Messrs. Brandon. The affidavit was read, which stated that the bankrupt was indebted to Joseph Last, printer, of Savoy-street, in the amount of £6l for work done and performed. Cross-examined by Mr. Hawkins—l opposed the seizing of the whole of the property, which is worth about £1,600. I have also a debt against Smith for £6OO. Smith is not liable for my debts for types and presses. Smith never told me so. I have paid nothing out of the money I took into the business. I was in Francis's employ about three years. He tiled some time ago. I then received £3 a week as manager. I had been in business for myself previous to that. I have been once bankrupt and twice insolvent. I have printed several newspapers. The Town was one of them. I was not indicted for that publication that I know oi. My acquaintance with Smith commenced before I went to Francis's. I had done some printing for him. We were good friends, but we had not then had any money transac tions. I did not suggest to Mr. Smith to have a printing office of his own to print the Sunday Times. He suggested that to me. I did not while I was at Francis's urge upon Smith to start a printing-office, as a large profit might be made. I made an estimate of the cost of the printing of the Sunday Times, in order to let Mr. Smith know whether he was paying a proper price for it. I did not express a wish that Mr. Smith should employ me instead of Francis, as he was on the' verge of insolvency. I fancied Francis was in difficulty. I will not swear I did not say so. Francis com mitted suicide. I thought he laboured under mania. It is possible I might have said to Smith that I was very un comfortable in Francis's employ. I have no recollection of mentioning that I was so. I never asked Mr. Smith to employ me. I think it would be about the early part of last year that I told Smith I was uncomfortable in Francis's employ. Smith knew I received £3 a week, and knew I was dependent on that, but I did net then ask Smith to get me something to do. After Francis'edeath, in Sept., 1860, I carried on the business. Before I took possession of the premises in the Savoy I did not go to Smith and tell him that he could get the printing of Her Majesty's Theatre, Drury-lane, and the Alhambra for nothing. By the Judge 7 l mean by that that the cost might be defrayed out of the profits, Cross-examined—T never told Smith ho could get his printing done for nothing. I always meant the profit would always more than cover the expenses. I never told Smith anything definite about the printing being done much cheaper. When I had conversations with Smith it was always about his promise to set me up in business. He was to get half of the profits when the thing was paid for. The thing never was paid for. I claim the property and also a debt of £6OO, as I consider myself responsible for the debts. I knew the premises in the Savoy were to let for some time before it was taken for the company. I saw the party having the right to let several times. Smith was not with me. I paid £4O for the fixtures, but I got the money from Smith. I paid a month's rent in advance. Smith paid for that and the expenses of drawing up the agreement. He gave me a cheque for the whole amount upon his private bankers. The cheque did not cover the three charges, and I paid the difference out of my pocket. I will positively swear I did not get the £3 Bs. Od. from Smith. All I got from Smith was the cheque for £5l 13s. By the Judge—The cheque was for the rent and fixtures I did not then know of the charge for the agreement. I paid the £3 3s. out of my own pocket. I never got the amount back. It was put down amongst debts. The sig nature put int) my hand is in my handwriting ; but the writing in blue ink was that of Mr. Smith. It was not on the receipt which I agreed to sign. It was not written on it either with my knowledge or concurrence. Baron Chanuell—lt is no uncommon thing for a trades man to make out a receipt for a certain amount (say the amount of this cheque) to a creltir signed, and then a cer tain item having been thought of, a deduction had to be made. Can you undertake to say such was not the case here ? Witness—l now recollect there was some talk about the amount of £2, and it might have been written while the con versation was going on. Cross-examination continued—Smith used tl pay bills. I used t') send to him for the amount. I put "Last and Co." to the imprint naturally. Smith never told me he would not allow it. Smith, about six weeks after we started, suggested that it should be called the " Savoy Printing Company," as he thought a good thing might be made of it. Owing to the number of witnesses to examine the tria cannot conclude to-day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A SON CHARGED WITH ROBBING HIS FATHER. — STEALING AND RECEIVING.—WiIIiam Jackson, 13, a re spectable-looking boy, son of a bootmaker, at 57, Frith-• street, Soho, was charged with stealing three pairs of boots and shoes of the value of £3 Os., the property of his father, and Michael and Edwin Crawley, father and son, of 44, Dudley-street, were charged with receivir,g the same. Mr. Jackson said that on Sunday he missed the boots and shoes, and from inquiries found that his son had stolen them from him and sold them at the shop of the Crawley's. John Fincher, a boy, saisi he went with young Jackson at half•past eleven on the morning of Saturday last to the Crawley's shop in Dud ey-street, and Edwin Crawley took a pair of side spring-boots from young Jackson and looked at them under the shelf of the window, and told Jackson to call again at one. Ile d:d so, and then Edwin Crawley called Jackson into the passage and paid him 75., keeping back one shilling for a pair of boots for him (Fincher). lie did not see Michael Crawley. In answer t) the magistrate (Mr. Tyrwhitt), the witness said he was not with Jackson when he stole the boas from his father. The magistrate said there seemed 5 be no evidence against the elder Crawley. Mr. Jackson said his son sold a pair of boots to him on Friday last. The prisoners denied purchasing any boots of the boy. Edwin Crawley and Jackson were remanded, Michael Crawley's bail being taken for his reappearance. Bail was refused for Edwin Crawley. THE SOMERSETSHIRE CONSTABULARY.—SeveraI murderous assaults having been recently committed on members of the Somerset County Constabulary, Mr. Valen tine Gould, the chief constable, has obtained the sanction of the magistrates to arming the officers with cutlasses when on duty by night in the m.ighbourhood of large towns or cities. The cons; ables are instructed that these weapons are only to be used in defence of their lives, and that any breach of this rile will render them liable to dismissal and P1U114743011ts , TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, APRIL 23. The Moniteur of to-day contains the following article : " The late events at Warsaw have been unani mously commented upon by the French press with the traditional sympathy which the cause of Poland has always excited in the West of Europe. But these expressions of interest would ill serve the Polish cause if they had the effect of mis leading public opinion by allowing it to be sup posed that the Emperor of the French encourages hopes which he could not satisfy. The generous ideas displayed by the Emperor Alexander since his accession to the throne, especially in the great measure of the emancipatiou of the serfs, are a certain token of his desire to realise like wise the ameliorations admitted by the state of things in Poland. It is only to be wished that he may not be prevented from so doing by manifestations of such a nature as to place the dignity of the politi cal interests of the Russian Empire in antagonism with the tendencies of its Sovereign." The Moniteur also says : "The Emperor will hold a review of a division of the cavalry reserve at Longchamps on Thursday next." It is said in official circles that a now Belgian Treaty of Commerce with France was signed yes. terday at Paris. TURIN, APRIL 23. The Turin Gazette of to-day publishes a letter from Gen. Cialdini to Garibaldi, recalling the friendship and admiration he had always possessed for him but declaring that his last acts painfully affected him. General Cialdini continues thus : " All my affection for you has disappeared, and I have become your political adversary. We are not disposed to bear your tyranny. You are re proached with having given orders to Colonel Tripoti to receive as with musket shots in the Abruzzi. I have heard your words and those of General Sirtori in the Italian Parliament, and, fol lowing them up to their conclusion, I arrive at the secret idea of your party, which aims at rendering itself master of the army and the country, threaten ing us, if unsuccessful, with civil war. I do not know what the country thinks of this ; but I can assure you that the army fears not your threats ; it is only afraid of your Government. You have reason to boast of your great and marvellous enter prise, but you exaggerate its results. When we arrived you were at the Volturno, in a very bad condition. The fall of Capua, Gaeta, Messina, and Civitella del Tronto was not brought about by your operations. 56,000 Bourbon soldiers were beaten and dispersed by us. It is therefore incor rect to say that you have delivered the kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Our army and fleet took some part in the work of destroying more than half the Neapolitan army, and also took four fortresses. I believe I know the army sufficiently well to be sure that it shares the feelings of disgust and grief which the intemperance displayed by you and your party has raised in my mind." The Chamber of Deputies, in its sitting of yester day, agreed by a large majority to take into consi deration the project of Garibaldi in reference to the arming of the country. The Ministry voted in favour of the resolution. Garibaldi was not present in the Chamber. It is asserted that he left Turin yesterday evening. TURIN, APRIL 22. The Zo)nbardo says :—" Yesterday Garibaldi had a conference with his former lieutenants and supe rior cfficers, the majority of whom were in favour of accepting the policy of Count Cavour. The friends of Garibaldi hope that he also will now adhere to that policy. VIENNA, Arral. 22.

A representation having been made to Count Cavour, by her Majesty's Minister at Turin, on behalf of the relatives of the three gentlemen who perished last year on the Col du Geant, complaining that their bodies had been buried in the portion of the cemetery at Cormayeur assigned for the inter ment of the unbaptised, the following circular has been addressed by the Minister of the Interior to the Governors and Intendents-General, with the view of preventing the recurrence of similar occa sions of complaint. Translation. (From the Gazetla Ufficiale del .Regno d Turin, April 11, 1861.) " CIRCULAR TO THE GOVERNORS, INTENDENTS GENERAL, AND DISTRICT INTENDENTS. " Department of the Interior. " The laws and usages regulating the establish ment, purpose, and removal of cemeteries, and the burial of the dead, also out of the locality where the death has taken place, having been based on the general principle of abolishing, for the benefit of the public health, all privileges, with few and well defined exceptions, they could not consistently ad mit, in the differences of the various religions per suasions held by the inhabitants of the kingdom, any sufficient ground or motive for modifying the general principle sanctioned by these regulations— that is to say, that all interments without distinc tion shall take place in the common cemeteries. But considerations of a nature entirely foreign to the principles of public health, and directly connected with the rites and religious beliefs pro fessed by the populations, suggest the expediency of admitting within the limits of one and the same enclosure (where such does not exist already) a separation of locality for the use of non-Catholics, with a view to obviating, as far as it is possible, the opposition and the remonstrances which promiscu ous interments, though in very rare and exceptional cases, have not failed to give rise to, and which have their principal origin and most natural explanation in long-existing usages. "The undersigned therefore consider it expedient to call the attention of the Governors, Intendents- Genera!, and District Intendents to this subject, in crdcr that they may, in accordance with certain principles and uniform rules, issue, when the case occurs, such directions as may be most in harmony with the principles enunciated. " In conformity therefore with the general maxim that all burials shall take place in general ceme teries', a portion of each of these, when no distinct locality for this object exists already, shall be marked off so 4s to distinguish one part of the area from the remainder by a ditch, or wall, or hedge, according to each case and to the nature of the buildings of the place, for the burial of non•Cathc lies, reserving to the ecclesiastical authorities the previous performance of the rites and forms usually observed by them in such cases. " A separate part of the common cemetery shall also be assigned for the interment of infants born of Catholic parents and buried before performance of the baptismal rite. ," But no classification of the dead belonging to the same religion—such as, for example, suicides, capital criminals, and the like•—can be admitted, as the separation of burial-places within the general enclosure is made solely with a view to the differ ences of worship professed by the populations. "And here it is proper to observe that, although the different principles of worship professed by various peoples have taught all civilised nations, ancient and modern, respect and reverence for the dead, yet cemeteries mu 3t not be considered from the religious point of view solely, but also as insti tutions eminently civil, and it will therefore always be just and expedient that they be properly regu lated and governed by the civil authorities.

The number of patients relieved at this hospitAl during the week ending April 20 was 2,804 ; of which 811 were new cases. CHARGE OF ITURDpB AT ROCHDALE. jobn Warburton, who is in custody on suspicion of having murdered a married woman named _Ellen Garside, was, yesterday, for the fourth time, placed , in the dock at the Rochdale Police Court. The court was crowded in every part, and great crowds of people were assembled in the street adjoining. Mr. Hartley, solicitor, appeared for the prisoner. The first witness called was John Garside, book keeper, husband of the deceased, who deposed :---0 11 the 12th September last, my wife, to whom I 'was married in 1850, and who had borne me two chil dren, left home without my knowledge, taking with her a daughter aged eight years. Next day, I re ceived a letter in her hand writing, bearing the Manchester postmark. In that letter she expressed her sorrow for the manner in which she had left me, saying that, in consequence of the contents of two anonymous letters I had received, she could not stay any longer in Rochdale. The writer of these anonymous letters informed me that while 0.1 wife had been at Blackpool she had been seen to company with a tall dark-complexioned gentle manly-looking man. Those letters were both in one handwriting and bore only the Rochdale post mark. After reading them I told her I did not believe them, and they led to no difference between us. On the 14th I received another letter, which stated that my wife had made an arrangement with a Mr. and Mrs. Roberts to go abroad with them. They were to start that day on their journey. All these letters my wife got on her return, and I have never since seen them. Six weeks afterwards I broke up my house and went to reside with my mother' taking my little boy with me. On the 4th a , February, 1861, a Mrs. Frances Kaberry sent me word that a letter for me from my wife was lying at her house. The contents stated that she was sorry for her conduct and intended to return next day. She did return. On arriving in Rochdale she sent for me at her sister's house in Milnrow road. She then stated that she was in bad health and had been unwell. For many years previously I had been on terms of intimacy with Warburton, who had been in the habit of calling upon us generally on the Sunday. I left home on Sunday afternoon, the day before my wife was missed. That Sunday I returned home about eleven o'clock in the evening, and found the prisoner in conversation with my wife, and a lodger named Wm. Whitelock. Warburton stopped till a quarter after 12 o'clock. The prisoner resides about a quar ter of a mile from where I lived. About a week after my wife had been missed I met the prisoner at the canal gates, in Drake-street. He asked me ; " Have you heard anything of your wife lately ?' I replied, " I have not ; I should be very glad to hear something." He then said " It's a great pity; I feel very sorry for you. I never thought she would have done such a thing, for I'm sure she had no cause to do it. You have always seemed very comfortable.' I then showed him the letters I had received from Manchester from my wife, and asked what was the best way to go about it to get to hear something. He said that if I had gone to Manchester the day following and asked at the cab stand, perhaps I might have got to know. When she had been away about five or six weeks, I went to the prisoner's house, taking with me the letters. This visit was in accordance with the prisoner's request. I allowed him to read the letters. The conversation was mostly respecting my wife leaving home. He again expressed his regret at it. In about a fortnight after this I agate met him at the Canal Yard. He asked if I had yet heard from my wife, and I said " No." On one °cgs' sion I informed him that I had heard from my wife; that she had been in Shudehill Market, shabbill dressed, in company with another person. I said thought this could not be true. Prisoner said also he did not believe it. After that I believe I saw him once before the Ist of April. On the 28th of March I received a letter, addressed to nil wife, which I opened, read, and then gave it to MT wife. She read it, and then burst into tears. believe the writing was Warburton's. It was signed J. W. The latter part of that letter had something like these words :—" Dear love, I feel annoyed that you did not meet me at the time appointed. Your. respectfully, J. W." My wife looked downcast after reading that letter. On the Ist of April I found my wife was not at home. She was there at tea time. As she did not come home at 11 o'clock I went to Warburton's, but could get no answer: After 12 o'clock I went to bed. On the Sunday I and my brother went to Manchester to seek her. 00 Monday I went to Warburton's house—he sat . the kitchen—and I said, "How do you do, sir? He turned very pale. He asked me to sit down' I did so ; we drank ale together, and I then asked him to go and have a glass with me, as I wanted $ word with him. He made no objection. I saieto o the road "You might have told me lost Sunday' when you were at our house, that my wife had told you she was going away again." He said " She never did." I observed "I hope you will excuse me, I am only just trying to see if you knew anr thing about it." We agreed then to go and, se! Mr. Superintendent Callender. Next day I heard that my wife had been pulled out of the canal' Warburton never came near. Cross-examined by Mr. Hartley—Verbal comma' nications have come to me that my wife bad not been faithful. Warburton has always appeared to be on friendly terms with deceased, and I hat e never seen any ill feeling between them. Mrs. Elizabeth Whitcombe, of Collyhurst•stree i tt Rochdale-road, Manchester, deposed that deceased" under the name of Ellen Roberts, came to her boll on the Monday before the 12th September, 186 0, and engaged lodgings for herself, child, and bus" band (a bookkeeper), who would come occasionally once or twice a-week. They came. Deceased; daughter was thea in court, and witness identifieu her as Eliza Ann Roberts. On the Saturday a fter the 12th, the prisoner came as Mr. Roberto' and passed as deceased's husband. He came twic e a week for the first three weeks, and for seven week s occasionally. On the Saturday before they left' prisoner came and said he had left his work, and svß,! going to the Miles Pl a tti ng St a ti on f or hi s b ox . 13 : did not return on the Monday, and dec eas ed vit' t much troubled. On the Tuesday, she got a lett e l from Mr. Roberts, and left on Wednesday. I i not see her again until exhumed. I saw prison e d after deceased left, and he was much excited an surprised when I told him she had gone away. Cross-examined—ln my presence prisoner 1 0 " always treated deceased kindly. Mrs. Hannah Parkinson, of Harpurhey, depose d that prisoner accosted her husband on the Saturdl before they left Mr. Whitcombe's and asked for inn, as his wife was tired and wanted a cup of tea' We invited them in, and they had a cup of te together. Afterwards they came several times, an d then became lodgers until the 4th of Februad; They said they intended to go to America. On o° Monday Mrs. Roberts came to th e i r h ouse in grea t trouble saying her husband had left. Prisoners however, came again. • The daughter of deceased was next exatotac al and gave corroborative evidence. The case was then adjourned until to-day (NI; day), there being 17 additional witnesses examine for the prosecution. A MAN DAVOURBD BY BATS. Last evening Mr. John Humphreys, the coroner' held an inquest at the Black Horse public-hour;High-street, Poplar, on view of the remains , male person unknown, found in the well of t.,P, British ship Result, at present lying in the "cc dock of Green's ship-building yard, BlackW A under most painful circumstances. Frederick George Good, a seaman, said that 11 ! was employed on board the vessel on Thursday last, and had to take down the board over the pl- 0 ,1 well. He descended and discovered the skelet ° ; s of a human person. There were likewise .portie fi r of a male person's dress, a pair of boots and othoe, articles. He searched the pockets and found 1 " in silver and three halfpence in copper. It, George Evans, boatman on board the Res ° e , said that the vessel left Port Philip, Melbourl34 with a general cargo and passengers. There been no one missing during the voyage. He 0 0 , 1 . believed that the deceased must have stowed b l e if self away for five mouths, and had secreted hir" s da in the pump-well to obtain a free passage to -' land. By the Coroner—Believed the deceased had b e 0 devoured by the rats; as upwards of 1,000 largo( animals were in the well-hole.

The deceased might have died starvation, or probably he had been suffocated , 10 then the flesh had been eaten and gnawed II vermin in the well-hole. The jury returned an open verdict.
