" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power ilk the diagUosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the Mentific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuab_ contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

LAW IN7ELLIGENCE.-April 25, COURT OF COMMON PLE4:6 (Sittings in Banco.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Erie and Justices Willes, Byles, and Keating.) RUSSELL Y. THE GREAT SHIP COMPANY-THE GREAT SHIP IN THE HANDS OF THE SHERIFF. Sir F. Kelly applied to the court in this case for leave to appeal against the decision pronounced by this court a few days ago, refusing a new trial; and in support of his motion principally relied upon the circumstance that the judges of the Queen's Bench had on a former occasion in timated their opinion that the award was not a good one, whilst the judges of this court were of a contrary opinion. Under these circumstances he submitted that it would be more satisfactory it the opinion of a court of error were taken. He also offered to insure the. plaintiff from any loss in consequence of leave to appeal being given by the com pany entering into an agreement that the ship should not sail until the amount of the verdict, £lB,OOO, was paid into court, or security was given to the satisfaction of the master. Mr. W. Williams, the counsel for the company, however, said that he had just received a telegram to the effect that the ship and her stores had been seized in execution. The court, alter some discussion, took time to read the short -hitud writer's notes of what took place before the Queen's Bench. Judgment reserved. TILE NAVY. LAUNCH Or THE IRON-CASED FRIGATE DEFENCE. On Wednesday afternoon the iron-eased frigate Defence was launched at Jarrow, from the building-yard of Messrs. Palmer, on the Tyne, in the presence of many thousand persons. The weather being remarkably fine, the railway trains from Shields and Newcastle, and the steam packets on the river, were crammed with intending spectators of the launch. She came off the ways, we believe, all right, but took the ground at the north side of the river. Every pos sible precaution had been taken by the harbour master to prevent accidents, by suspending the navigation of vessels up and down the river during the time of the launch. The following are the dimensions of the Defence:—Extreme length over all, 291 feet ; breadth, 54 feet; depth from the upper deck, 39 feet; tonnage, 3,700 tons builders' measure ment. The engines will be 600 nominal horse power, and will be manufactured byMessrs. J. Penn and Sons, London. It is calculated that the Defence will steam at the rate of 12 knots an hour. She is pierced for 28 guns on the main deck all of which will be of the heaviest calibre. The upper or spar deck will be armed with four 40-pounders, and two pivot guns of TOO each, all Armetroags. Among other improve ments adopted on board the Defence is one which has been needed for years—an improvementon the present cumbrous and awkward ship's gun.carriage, Those which will be furnished to her have the stands fixed, the gun running backwards and forwards in a slide, with a pivot, for trail. ing the gun fore and aft, placed about the centre of the gun. The advantage of this is, that it will allow the port holes to be reduced to half their usual width without at all interfering with the range of gun fore and aft. Thus the portholes of the Defence will be three feet six inches high, and two feet instead of four feet wide—a reduction which, of course, diminishes by one-half the chance of a shot or shell entering the aperture. For the space of nearly two feet, also, all round the ports, the armour plates are seven inches thick. She is divided by bulkheads, and there are two doorways in those bulkheads, through which the seamen can trail cannon fore and aft. In addition, She has wing passages, by which they can go round and see if any injury has been done to the sides. The Defence is immensely strong at the stem, a perfect network of iron, making the fore part of the ship almost solid. Her machinery and magazine are shut off from the stem and stern by armour plated bulk heads. Her engines, made by Messrs. J. Penn and Sons, of London, will be of 600 nominal horse-power. When in sea going trim the maindeck portsills will be about eight feet from the water, and in this respect the Defence is said to possess gfeat advantage over the French ves sel La Gloire, whose ports are only five feet nine inches. The masts and spars of the Defence will be very light— merely those of an ordinary first-class frigate. Her bow sprit, which will be light, will be made t ) house on board, so that nothing whatever will intervene to mitigate the tre mendous force with which she could strike an enemy. The Defence is of a peculiar shape forward—the stem protrud ing under water, so as, if necessary, to assist in cutting a ship down. The strength of iron forward is very great. The bows and stern of the ship are divided into 20 water-tight compartments, and are shut off from the mgine-room and fighting part of the ship by wrought iron transverse bulk heads. These compartments will afford great security. They may be riddled by shot in every direction without affecting her safety; nay, even were the bows and stern shot clean away, the centre would, it is contended, still remain a floating battery. There is no ex:ernal keel to the ship, but an inner kind of girder, which acts as a keelson. This is formed of immense slabs of wrought scrap iron, 11 inch thick, and 3 feet 6 inches deep. To it are bolted the ribs—massive wrought iron T .shaped beams, three-quarters of an inch thick. These ribs, except where the portholes in tervene, are only 22 inches apart. Above the keelson, and inside the ribs, are five immensely strong box-girders,which go the whole length of the ship from stem to stern, and from which spring (diagonal bands, tying every rib together. The orlop deck is of wood. The main deck is of iron and cased with wood, and nine feet above theorlop. The upper deck is also of wrought iron cased with wood, and 7 feet 9 inches above the main. All these decks are carried on wrought iron beams of the most powerful description, to which both decks and ribs and all are bolted as in one piece. The " skin" of the ship, as it is termed, which covers all these ribs on the outside, is also of wrought iron, 1 inch thick under the bottom, to nearly one inch up to the spar deck. From five feet below the water line up to the upper deck comes, in addition to this, the great armour of teak and iron over all. This is brmed of a double casing of the hardest teak, 20 inches thick, with the beans laid at right angles to one another. Over these, again, comes the plates of iron, so as, in all, to case the broadside of the vessel with 20 inches of solid teak, and five inches of the finest wrought iron. Each plate is formed of rolled iron, about 16 feet long. All the plates are mortised into one another, and bolted through the teak into the inner ribs of the ship. These bolts are counter-sunk outside, so as to have their heads level with the surface. The total weight of the plates on both sides is 500 tons. ' The tests applied to the plates by the builders of the Defence were of the most trying character, and they stood well. All iron-clad vessels, it is said, must roll slowly and deeply, if in their cons:ruction especial pains are not taken to guard aga'nst such a defect. To counter act such motion the Defence has two ridges of iron on each side of her bottom, like leeboards, extending almost along her entire length. Each of these pates is about 15 inches deep, and the resistance which they will offer to her rolling will be very great. NORTH SHIELDS, THURSDAY NOON. The iron-plated frigate Defence Atts been floated off the ground without any damage. The Ganges, 84, sailing two-decler, Capt. John Fulford, flagship of Rear-Admiral Sir Robert L. Baynes, R.C.8., arrived at Spithead on Wednesday from the Pacific. She sailed from Vancouver's Island on the 10th of September, 1860, arrived at San Francisco on the 20th of September, and sailed again on the 4th of October, leaving the Term gant in the sectional dock at Mare Island. After eiighting the islands of Guadaloupe and Juan Fernandez the Ganges arrivsd at Valparaiso on Tuesday, December 11 ; sailed thence for England on the 18th of January, and kept company with the English bark Ccro Coro until the 28th of January, when she was lost sight of on the Ganges' lee quarter. On the 31st of January, in lat. 54 44 S , long. 81 2 W., while the ship was u n der treble-reefed topsails, blowing heavily, the Ame r i can l ar k revenue was seen to leeward with her ensign flyin g u pside down. One of the Ganges cutters, in charge of Lieut. Lamb, with an assis tant-surgeon, was sent to th e vesse l , an d ren d ere d medi ca l assistance. She proved to b e laden with coa l , 112 d a y s f rem Glasgow, bound to San Fr ancisco. The i s l an d s of Diego Ramirez were passed on Sunday, February 3, and the same day, at 1 30 p.m., the Gang es sighted Cape Horn, and anchored at Rio de Janeir o on February 2 1 . Found the Brazilian squadron lying in th e h ar bour. 4 Her Majesty's b r igantine Spy came in on th e 24 0. The Ganges sailed again on the 25 th, and met an English bark going in with loss of foremast, jibboom, Htad mizentopmast. On Saturday, April 13, exchanged e-lours with the English ship dal liance, 93 days from Melb4rae, for London, in lat 44 16 deg N., long 21 25 deg W. At the back of the Tsle of Wight the Ganges spoke the screw transport Magawra, with artillery on b oar d, f rom W oo lwich, bound to Gibral tar. Shortly before entering Spiiiead a painter engaged upon some work outside the ship f i ll overboard, and being unable to swim was unfortun a t e l y d r owned. The Ganges left Spithead, for the Pacifi c to relieve the Monarch, 84, 'on tie 17th of October, 1857, flagship of Vice-Admiral H. W. Bruce, the then Commander_i n _opef on that station. Since that time the Ganges has been over a distance exceeding 60,100 miles, and has been in commission altogether three years and ten months. She was lnilt in Bombay in 182 1 , , and presents a remarkable con trast in her appearance t o that A the Edgar, 91, screw, flagship of Rear-Admiral E rs ki ne, lying at anchor close by after the French Canopus at Portsmouth yesterday; hi s fl a g was struck at sunset, and the Ganges sailed from Spithead to-day for Sheerness, her.

B a rnes landed from the ship guns, lately launched from Chatham dockyard, was yester day taken from her moorings in oeerness harbour, for the trial of her machinery at the measured mile off Mapling Sands. Capt. Schomberg, of tbe seam reserve, commanded the vessel, and Messrs. W. Price, „ inspector of machinery, and G. Biaxial:o, chief engineer, bheerness dockyard, were in attendance on the part of the Government. The con tractors were represented by Mr. Talford Field and Mr. Herbert Maudslay. The machinery, which was built by Messrs.. Maudslay, Son, and Field, was in charge of Mr. Warrener, manager to the firm. The Atlas is fitted with double piston rod, directing acting horizont a l eng i nes o f giavinmgean speed of 13022 800 noreinal horse-power, and 4,20( i ndicated horse-power. entire satisfaction T to h knots per hour, 60 revolutions per minute, th e pressure o f t e h y e au worked thor t m i e o s s , t a s n u d c c o e b s st obtaining steam being 211 b., and the vacuum 2 . 4. The cylinders are fitted with steam jackets, and are the second set of en gines so fitted and supplied to the Government by the firm. Griffith's screw pitch, 27ft. 6in., diameter 19ft. The trial lasted six hours, and is considered to be the most satisfac tory which has been made for some time at Sheerness. The Sampson, 6, paddle, Capt. G. S. Hand, C. 8., was steaming into Spithead at 6.45 yesterday evening, from China. The Duncan, 101, screw, in No. 8 dock at Portsmouth, fitted the shifting blade to her propeller yesterday afternoon. It is intended to get her out of dock and the steam basin by to-morrow, and she will probably commence her series of experimental trials.on Monday. The Hougoumont, sailing transport, No. 36, Commander Flamark, was towed into Portsmouth h ar b our yesterday, and will disembark the 4th battery of the second brigade of Royal Artillery this morning, who will march to Hilsea, and receive over the Armstrong guns and horses of the 10th battery of the 4th brigade, the latter marching to Haslar Barracks, where they will be quartered until further orders. The Sir William Peel, No. 17 screw transport, Com mander Froud, steamed into Portsmouth harbour yester day from Spithead, and will land her troops (3d Buffs) at 9 a.m. to-day, when they will proceed by special train at 10 a.m. to join head-quarters at Dover. The Sir William Peel is a ship of 1,535 tons register, and fitted with auxi liary engines of 300 horse-power (nominal), by Miller and Ravenhill. As we stated yesterday, she was employed in the China expedition as an hospital ship, for which she is admirably adapted from her height of deck and uncom monly good ventilation. Her upper hospital had a free sweep of deck from the saloon doors to the forecastle bulk head. Her lower hospital was divided in two compartments' by the engine-room, and owing to her numerous sidelights, the size of her hatchways, and other means of ventilation" through her decks, the lower was as well ventilated and cool as the upper. The Sir William Peel, like the Mauri tius, would make a noble hospital transport for the Govern ment service. Yesterday, by direction of the Lords of the Admiralty, the last batch of hired workmen at Chatham dockyard re ceived notice to quit that establishment on the 25th of May, by which date the whole of the hired mechanics and labourers will have quitted the dockyard, with the excep tion of those whose services bave been ordered to be re tained. The derelict wreck, in tow of the Balklegend Lightning, Government steamers, was brought into Falmouth at 8 o'clock on Thursday evening, after considerable labour, and at that hour was within St. Anthony's Head. The name and cargo are yet unknown. Yesterday being the birthday of her Royal Highness the Princess Alice, a royal salute was fired from the King's Bastion on Portsmouth lines from her Majesty's ships Victory, flagship of the Commander-in-Chief at the port, Vice-Admiral IL W. Bruce, and St. Vincent, flagship of Rear •Admiral the Hon. George Grey, in Portsmouth har • hour ; and from her Majesty's ships Ganges, 84, Edgar, 91, screw, Trafalgar, 91, screw, Emerald, 51, screw, and Dia dem, 32, screw, lying at Spithead, the two first-named of these latter velsels bearing respectively the flags of Rear-, Admirals Sir Robert L. Baynes and J. E. Erskine. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—George H. Dominy, master, additional, to the_ Indus ; W. H. Couzens, W. J. Symons, F. Hire, W. H. Fox, and W. J. Gorman, masters' assistants, additional, to the Marlborough ; H. E. L. P. Bailey, paymaster, addi tional, to the Fisgard ; and W. K. Home, assistant pay master, supernumerary, to the Victory. Some experimental trials have been made at Chatham with a new description of breech-loading rifled cannon, the invention of Mr. Warry, armourer of the 3d Depot Bat talion. The superiority claimed for the invention by Mr. Warry is the simplicity of the breech-loading action, with great facility in loading, and the rapidity with which the new description of gun can be fired. The inventor of this new kind of ordnance has offered to take any gun now in use in the service, which he will rifle and convert into a breech-loader at comparatively trifling expense, his object being to satisfy the Government that the whole of the field pieces and ships' guns now in use can be made available for that purpose. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALLS'-YESTERDAY. The attendance this afternoon was !carcely up to the average, considering its close proximity to the "First Spring Meeting." From the extreme fineness of the weather the members were induced to patronise the "open air gathering" on the lawn, and business commenced with a vigour that gave hopes of some new feature being intro duced to vary the monotony that has characterised the transactions on the Guineas, but which, as will be gathered from our list of quotations, was not "made visible." THE Two THOUSAND GUlNEAS.—Kettledrum at the opening was extremely firm, 6 to 1 being quickly taken, the backers becoming more anxious than the layers, and after a heavy commission was "satisfied," 9 to 2 was the highest offer. Klarikoff came into notice with a rush, the effect of a report of a most satisfactory trial in the morning, and after some heavy wagering, he appeared to leave off a much better favourite (for money) than Colonel Towneley's colt, but as near as we could collect at the close 5 to 1 would have been taken by the partisans of each, to money. Preceptress was much fancied by many, and by one in par. ticular, who usually attends on a Mundy, who supported her with much vigour at the quoted odds, but at the close 9 to 1 was with difficulty to be obtained. Overton—the only animal in the race that has maintained his "pride of place" in the quotations—was again strongly fancied, by an influential party, 9 to 1 to upwards of £2OO being booked about him, and at the close a point more w s scarcely obtainable. Diophantus, as usual, at the commencement of business appeared under a cloud, but towards the close a spurt was given to the hopes of his backers by a noble patron of the turf, who accommodated the layers by betting 1,000 to 70 to upwards of £3OO, which fora time appeared to stem the torrent set in against him, but at the close 100 to 6 was easily to be had. Mr. Merry's two appeared out of favour, 100 to 6 being frequently offered agst each without a reply. and after a brief demonstration in favour of Sweet Haw thorn, she retrograded to 100 to 4 offered ; but still 300 to 36 was taken by a noble supporter of the stable about the two coupled. Neighbour was nominally at 100 to 6, and the Knight of St. Patrick was supported at 1000 to 30, Elborus at 1000 to 20, and Copernicus at similar odds. THE CHESTER CUP.—From the excitement attending the transactions on the Two Thousand little or no attention was bestowed upon this event. Chere Arnie was nominally at 7to 1; Wallace was inquired after, and a point more than the quoted odds would have met with ready takers ; Man at-Arms also came in for his share of patronage, 10 to 1 was taken to money; as also Ben Webster, from his recent success in Ireland, finding supporters at 12 to 1. W. Day's Schism was touched upon to a small sum at 1000 to 40. THE DgßßY.—Dundee appears to be left alone in his gloiy, 7 to 2 being the highest offer his opponents appear bold enough to advance. 14 to 1 was taken about Rouge Dragon to " half a century," 40 to 1 was offered agst Pre ce ptress, and 1000 to 15 taken about Imaus.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER. The court sat in banco and took cases in the special paper. The arguments were not of public interest. LAST V. DOIVLING-INTERPLEADER. This case, which has occupied the court for the two last days, and the facts of which have been reported in our columns, was resumed tD-day. At nearly eight o'clock the jury retired, and at half-past nine returned a verdict for the phintiff. POLICCF IIhTELLIGEIti CE.-April 25. well - dressed A T e ISLINGTON .— TWO T E O N N W. — E T Lw Tll E ATE y ATTEMPTEDoungmen, I\'‘,ltihßDEß de scribed themselves as butchers, and wh o gave the v names of George Quilter, residing at 6, Stephenson-terrac e , Cale donian-road, Islington, and William Liney, aged 21 ' of 3, Lloyd's-row, Clerkenwell, were placed at the bar before Mr. D'Eyncourt, charged with being concerned with Frederick Strugnell, now in custody, with stealing an iron chest, and £lO5 in gold and silver, and some rings, and further with committing a murderous assault on Mary Ann Redkison, at 47, Chapel-street, Islington. The apprehension of the prisoners is due to the energy displayed by Inspectors Judge, N division, and Bryant, G division, who from the inquiries they made ascertained that the prisoners were in company with Strugnell at a public house in New North-road on the evening in question. When they left there they proceeded in company to a beer shop nearly opposite the prosecutor's ; and on the next exa mination, the cabman who carried the box and the prisoners will be produced. On this occasion, although several wit nesses were in attendance, only sufficient evidence was taken to justify a remand. It may be stated that the un fortunate female is progressing satisfactorily. Mr. Edward Grainger said on Sunday mght last he was returning from church about twenty-five minutes past 8. As he was going along the Liverpool-road he saw two men come out of the shop of Mr. Higgins, leaving the door half open. He (witness) was about ten feet from the men. They were carrying a box, and he watched them as far as Warren-street. Thinking that all was not right, he watched them, and saw that from the weight of the box they were carrying they were in a state of great perspiration. The box was covered over with a butcher's apron. Mr. Higgins having stated that he was robbed of a cash box, an iron safe, &c., on Sunday night, Mr. Inspector Judge asked for a remand. Mr. D'Eyncourt remanded the prisoners until Tuesday neliC [ADVERTISEMENT].—The most interesting cures of a vast complication of diseases, without the aid of medicine, by Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica Food are re corded in the following letters :—Cure 52,422.—" Bridge house, Frimley, Surrey, April 3, 1854.—Thirty-three years' diseased lungs, spitting of blood, liver derangement, deaf ness, singing in the ears, constipation, debility, shortness of breath and cough, have been removed by your Revalenta Arabica.

The only step as yet taken by the members of the Mas ters' Association that can be considered hostile to the work men is that of keeping the number of men employed on their various works at the lowest possible number ; with the view of throwing as much labour into the market as possible, and thus induce the men to accept the new mode of payment. On inquiry at the Central Committee Room of the workmen, it appears that the feeling amongst them against the proposed system grows stronger daily. The Bricklayer s' Society, yesterday, issued a strong appeal to the men in their branch of the trade calling on them to re fuse the terms offered, and asserting that but few of the trade have as yet accepted them. The painters and plas terers have acted in a similar manner. The men deny the statement rumoured yesterday, that Messrs. Trollope's men have asked for payment by the hour, but state that only a few individuals have done so. The aggregate meeting to be held this evening is looked forward to with much interest. Last evening a meeting of the members of the Operative Bricklayers' Society, convened by circular, was held at Farringdon-hall, Snow-hill, for the purpose of considering the present position of affairs in the dispute with the mas ters. Mr. Winkworth in the chair. After addresses from several speakers, the following re solutions were unanimously carried : "That the minute passed at the meeting held at Hawk stone-hall, on the 10th of April last, be confirmed." " We, the members of the Operative Bricklayers' Society of London, seeing the blow that will be struck against the privileges we have so long enjoyed by the introduction of payment by the hour, do hereby pledge ourselves to resist the same until the obnoxious system is withdrawn. " We, the members who are working more than three days a week, hereby pledge ourselves to pay a levy of Is. per week for the support of the men locked out, and con tinue to pay the same until, the present dispute is satis factory settled. " That the operative bricklayers of London are willing to work at the rate of 6s. per day for five days, and 3s. for the half holiday on Saturdays, so making 335. per week."

By extraordinary express, in anticipation of the Overland Mail, we have received our usual letters and PA/Jen. The dates are—Calcutta, March 23 ; Hone-K ong , March 15 ; Madras, March 29. The following is from the Englishman's Weekly Mail, Calcutta :-- "-‘ One swallow does not make a summer,' nor will one glowing description of our prosperity in a State Secretary's speech, nor even a mildly expressed hope in a speech from the Throne, revive the com mercial prosperity of India. We have no confidence in the ricketty Government here, and still less in a Supreme Government which accepts the thimble rig expositions of Sir Charles Wood as their autho rity for supposing all to be serene ' as regards Indian public works and finances. Commerce still languishes,'and no speculation on an extensive scale or in any useful direction exists. " Colonel Baird Smith, the Special Famine Com missioner, has arrived at Agra, and the central com mittee assembled to meet him on Friday, the 17th inst., but no news has been yet received of his future movements. We cannot at present, from the ac counts that daily reach us, hold out any certain hopes of an improvement in the state of things in the North-West, where food is still being distri buted and works thrown open. The disorganised state of society up-country still continues, and rob beries and thuggees are of constant occurrence. The audacity of the dacoits has even reached such a pitch as to induce them to attack her Majesty's property. A few days ago the baggage of the 2d company of Sappers and Miners was attacked on the line of march and one of the commissariat carts thoroughly plundered. The rear guard came up and drove them off, but we have not heard whether any further punishment was inflicted.", COMMERCIAL. CALCUTTA, MARCH 22. PRODUCE MARKET.—The amount of business done in this market is almost wholly limited to orders which were given some time since; no new transactions of any moment are reported. JOINT STOCK SHARES.—The share market is firm, and a considerable advance has taken place in our quotations of Bengal Bank shares, under an impression that the capital is to be increased, and offered at par to existing share holders. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES.—There are no transactions of any importance to note in this market. Holders are quite ready to sell large amounts at present quotations or even at something less; but not‘t ithstanding Sir Charles Wood's account of the flourishing state of Indian finances, capitalists here are not disposed to purchase. MONEY MARKET.—Our money market continues easy, but there are indications of an increased demand and higher rates. CHINA- The following is from the Hong Kong Trade Report of March 15:— " The advices which the last mail hence took were , to the effect that political matters in the neighbour hood of Pekin wore a pacific aspect, and that every confidence was placed by the foreign community in the performan ce:of the treaties in their fall integrity; that the expedition up the Yang-tsze had taken its departure, the most sanguine expectations being en tertained as to its results; that the British authori ties, whilst they repudiated interference between the I•nperialists and Insurgents, were, in point of fact, pursuing a well defined and arranged course of action that rendered the rebel cause utterly hope less ; that the experimental diplomacy, conducted of course with the utmost secrecy, now habi tually practised by British functionaries in China and Japan, appeared an obstacle to the establishment of permanently satisfactory political relations • and that diplomatic rela tions between her Majesty's Minister at Yeddo and the Japanese Government had been broken off, arising out of circumstances connected with the assassination of the interpreter to the United States Legation, which eventuated in her Majesty's Minister leaving Yeddo for fear of a similar fate awaiting him, and taking refuge among the foreign community in Yokuama. " Since then, although the hopes and expecta tions entertained of a satisfactory and speedy development of the new order of things are even higher than ever, little has occurred of a tangible nature from which any deductions can be drawn. The British Minister is still at Tient-sin ; his secretary, who is the fountain head of the secret experimental diplomacy named in last report, being at Pekin making preparations for his Excellency's reception in the spring.' The Emperor is still at his palace of Zhehol, in Tartary, declining to return to the capital. The bearing and. the demeanour of the Chinese Govern. ment towards the British officials is as friendly and pacific as could be desired, and every confidence is felt by the foreign community in the bona fide in tentions of the Chinese. " Regarding affairs at. Japan, which at date of last report appeared so very critical, a most unex pected and favourable change has taken place, which, it is to be hoped, will lead to a more satis factory state of relations, and will avert the catas trophe which appeared almost inevitable. Her Majesty's Minister, after leaving Yeddo and taking up his residence with the mercantile community at Yokuama, published a remonstrance and a warn ing which he had administered to the Japanese Government, a copy whereof was given in last report. He then applied to the British community of Yokuama for a statement of their grievances. They simply repeated the complaints, the dis regard to which had caused the unfortunate feud between them and the Minister ever since his first assuming the reins of office. It would seem as if communications of an expostulatory nature had been going on between the Japanese and the British Minister from the time of the with drawal of the latter from Yeddo, and there can be no doubt that the mercantile grievances formed a portion of the grounds of these communications. At all events, it is certain that the knowledge of late events in China, adding as they must naturally do to the prestige and power of ,Great Britain, caused the Japanese to become alarmed, and to seek to induce the British Minister to return to Yeddo. This, it seems, his Excellency refused to do until certain promises had been made and a variety of concessions accorded. On the Ist of March he issued a notification, stating that everything had been satisfactorily arranged, and that he should retibrn to Yeddo the day following. He did so return, and re-hoisted his flag under a salute from the Japanese batteries. There are now good grounds for hoping that the irritating, vacillating policy exhibited towards the Japanese will be dis continued—that the plain meaning of the treaty may be the guide to all future communications, and that whilst the foreign community are restrained from inflicting the smallest infringement upon the customs or prejudices of the people, they may be treated with some show of reason and justice, and not with the hauteur and indignity under which which they have lately suffered. The expedition up the Yang-tsze has proceeded slowly, the vessels even of light draught continu ally grounding on the shifting sands of the river. The latest date from them to hand at this moment is to the 21st of February. They had then only proceeded as far as Nankin. A British ship of war will remain at anchor off Nanit%, as a means to make the Taeping in surgents amenable for any aggressive acts they may commit upon British trade. It need hardly be pointed out that such a step is most damaging to the prestige of any political cause, because the question as to whether an act is aggres sive or not, rests entirely in the hands of the mighty. " It will be remembered that it was left to the British plenipotentiary to name two ports on the Yangtze which should be opened to trade. After his arrival at Shanghai the Earl of Elgin named Kin keang and Hankow, which it seems from the rebels' own statement (as given in the above letter) are the two points they intend to attack. The Customs re venue of these places stands absolutely secured to the Imperial Government by the notification issued by the Earl of Elgin directing that all duties whether of imports or exports, shall be paid at Sh ang hai. It has been seen already that the allied troops did actually drive the rebels back when they attacked Shanghai, and there can be little doubt that an attack on Hankow and Kinkeang will be deemed an act of aggression, which the British men-of-war at anchor off Nankin will resent. " Besides, the fact has come out that at all the open ports at which the foreign inspectorate scheme has been applied, the British Consul is vested with surveillance over the Customs revenue, on the pretext of claiming the indemnity agreed upon in the Pekin Convention. And when the patronage conferred by the Chinese Commissioners upon the Earl of Elgin in the nomination of the Customs mercenaries be remembered—when the underhand determined support given to the Customs seheme by the British Minister is borne in mind, as well as the trick of making the payment of the indemnity con tingent upon the existence of the Customs esta blishment, it can hardly be doubted that the ulti mate object of the parties implicated was to drag 1 the British Government, against the wish and pro- ~zz _ mac. ~ ; fessions of her Majesty's Ministers, into an espousal of the Imperial cause. The effect produced is most complete and ruinous to the Taeping movement, for not only is Nankin placed under British guns, but every port op en t o trade i s t h rown un d er Britislipro tection, the very revenues being secured to thelmpe rial Government. Nor is the least suspicious circum stance in the matter, the fact of the secretary of the British Legation (who is well known to be the ori ginator of this secret diplomacy) visiting Pekin at this particular juncture 'to make preparations for the reception of the Ministers.' " The success of the scheme may be said to be achieved, but whether it will act for weal or for woe remains to be seen. That the Taeping rebellion is a bootless detestable movement, and possesses no element but ruthless brigandage in a most repulsive form, is almost universally admitted. But on the other hand, the apathy, venality, and impotence of the Imperial Government are at the root of the evil, and it is abundantly clear that until it be comes purged in some measures of these attributes, or at all events alive,',to the effects of them, any re sistance rendered the Chinese will do more harm than good, especially when as in this ease it is forced on them. But still another question eases, and that is whether British diplomacy, supported as it has been by such enormous expensive armaments, is to be thus prostituted to the underhand crotchets to whom the management of affairs is confided; and further, as to how far such functionaries may be justified in concealing their schemes from her Majesty's Minis ters, who in this instance, at all events, absolutely repudiated the results aimed at in Parliament. " Canton is not to be evacuated by the allied troops so soon as was expected. It is now known that the foreign garrison will remain for the re mainder of this year at shortest. The French troops are being withdrawn from China, and sent to rein force the army at Aranam." BLOOMSBURY COUNTY COURT. A MAN BURIED INSTEAD OF A WO MAN. - -.TFIE ST. PANCRAS BURIAL BOARD V. TITFORD. This was a case heard yesterday before Mr. D. D. Heath, the presiding judge at the Bloomsbury County Court, Portland-road, and the peculiar nature of the disclosures excited lively interest among the public, who crowded the court. The plaintiff, Mr. Chas. Greene, on behalf of the Burial Board of St. Pancras, summoned the defen dant, Mr. Wm. Titford, undertaker, of Judd-street, Euston-road, for the sum of lls. for the interment of Joseph Kemp, at Finchley Cemetery, The defen dant pleaded a set-off (but notice of which not having been given at the proper time, was not ad mitted), for fees paid for the burial of Mary Ann Brown, which burial he asserted took place at Ilford Cemetery instead of at Finchley. Mr. J. W. Herring, solicitor, appeared in sup port of the summons, and in an able exposition of the object of the Burial Board in taking out this summons, said it was not merely for the recovery of the lls., but rather for the more important rea son of giving an expose of the impositions practised by a certain class of undertakers upon the board, and which extended in a most cruel manner to poor people who unfortunately happened to place them selves within their clutches. On the 4th January last the defendant wentito the office of the Burial Board, and gave an order for the interment of Mary Ann Brown, aged 58, of 2, Marson-street, St. Pan cras, the body to be buried in the third class chapel ground, on the Sunday following, in accordance with the particular wishes of the relatives of deceased, who, being poor people, were anxious to have the body buried on a Sunday, so that it should not interfere with their labour en a working day. The grave was prepared and the gravedigger and officiating minister waited a long time over the ordinary period for the arri val of the body on the Sunday, but it did not come. On the following Tuesday Mr. Titford took down a body, which was understood to be that of Mary Ann Brown. He was then asked for the necessary certificate—for it was proper to remark that they did their business at St. Pancras very different to the city of London with the Ilford Cemetery, where any person could go and have a body interred without the necessary register signed by the clerk of the board, as in St. Pancras—and no register, until pressed for, was produced, and then it was the register of Mary Ann Brown—and it was not until the officiating minister asked the question whether it was a brother or a sister that it was discovered that, instead of the body of Mary Ann Brown, it was the body of a man named Joseph Kemp, aged 48, for whose interment no order had been given at the Burial Board, and no fees had been paid. His Honour would imagine the surprise of the gravedigger when, in answer to the minister's question, Mr. Titford said it was a brother. On visiting the daughter of the de ceased Mary Ann Brown, it was ascertained that she and the rest of her friends had been scanda lously imposed upon by the undertaker, us they had particularly desired, and were under the full im pression, that the body was to be buried in the cemetery of their own parish at Finchley, and it was not until at the moment the body was being removed from their house that they knew it was to be buried at Ilford. It was proper that such tricks of undertakers should be exposed, as it was a gross fraud on the burial board and the public at large, especially as, but for an accidental discovery, the register would be falsified, as some of the books of the board were already in consequence. The Clerk of the Burial Board, in a shrewd cross-examination by defendant, proved that he (defendant) had paid the fees only and read an order for the burial of Mary Ann Brown, and had made no mention of Joseph Kemp until the dis covery had been made, when he treated the matter with the greatest indifference. Defendant—Are you not a reporter? Witness—What has that to do with the case ? Defendant—Because you want to get up this case for the papers. (Laughter.) Witness—l am a reporter, but that has nothing whatever to do with the case, as I am obliged to be here on behalf of the burial board as its clerk. Mr. Herring said he apprehended Mr. Greene, being a reporter, would not deter him, as clerk to the burial board, from performing his duty, and to prove the unwarrantable presumption of the defend ant he should next call one of the members of the burial board present. Mr. Nodes, vestryman of St. Pancras and member of the burial board, deposed that Mr. Greene acted in accordance with a resolution of the board, passed on the 25tb. ult. One of the grave-diggers at Finchley Cemetery deposed at length to the facts of the case, in reference to what took place at the Cemetery as stated by Mr. Herring. On the Tuesday, after the time allotted for the burials, Titford brought up a body and told him that it was the body that ought to have been buried on the Sunday, and the reason he did not bring it on the Sunday was because he was disap pointed in getting horses and a carriage ; and when, in reply to defendant, witness said the superinten dent of the cemetery was not there, he said that was a good job. On the foreman of the grave-diggers asking him whether he had a register, he said he had not, but the mourners had. However, no cer tificate of Joseph Kemp could be produced, and he allowed the body to be buried, as they did not like to turn the mourners away. Isabella Bunce, daughter of the deceased Mary Ann Brown, corroborated that part relating to the burial of her mother at Ilford, contrary to the wish of herself and friends, and they would not have permitted • it, only that the intimation of the de , fendant's intention was not made known to them until the moment of removing the body from the house. Defendant denied that he had ever been applied to for the lls.; that abov e that sum was due t o him from the Burial Board , an d t ha t i t was common to bury one person in. lieu of another. Mr. Nodes and others warmly denied what they denominated an absurdity, that one person was ever allowed to be buried in lieu of another. His Honour said this was not the first time the defendant had been before him. There was a case very similar to this that he had been previously guilty of. He bad no hesitation in saying thatiat was very important for the public to know of such a case, and so far he did not regret the case being,. brought before him. But he did not se e his Way clear as to who was responsible for Mi ng the burial fee of Joseph Kemp. He (the judge) sh ou ld look into the law on the question, and reserve his judgment till next week. He was quite satisfied it was a proper case for the Board to take up ,but there was a -question whether the Bo a r d had been The case was then adjo urned accordingly. sufficiently active in the ma t ter, by not taking different steps for obtaining a Penalty. --___ ---........
