The last dividend of the Ganges Steam Company was 48 per cent. per annum, and the latest returns of a Navigation Com pany on the Godavery was 55 per cent. The field, however, is far too large to be adequately filled by local effort, and an English Company is necessary, which, with adequate capital, will render available the resources of European science.

OF THE HOE. BERTRAM WODEHOUSE. EXETER, OCT. 13. An inquest was held at the Aclaud Arms, St. Sid well's, Exeter, on Saturday, b e f ore M r . W . H. Hooper, coroner, on the body of a gentleman, who, from certain documents found in his possession, and other circum stances, appears to be the Hon. Bertram Wodehouse, uncle of Lord Wodehouse, the English ambassador at the Court of Russia. The facts, as detailed in evidence, are clan exceedingly painful character. It appeared that the deceased, who was described as a tall gentleman, wearing a moustache, and having the appearance of a military man, arrived in Exeter on Tuursday evening, the 3d instant, by train, and went to the New London Inn. He was then under the influence of drink. He slept there for several nights, and during the whole time he was at the inn he was intoxicated. In cur, sequence of this the landlord, Mr. Pratt, sent biro his bill, and suggested the propriety of his taking private lodgings. On the Sunday evening pre vious to this he entered the Free Church in a state of intoxication, and was turned out by the sexton. On leaving the London Inn be hired John Richards, one of the porters, to convey his luggage to another hotel, but when he arrived at the door he refused to enter, and ultimately agreed with Richards to take lodgings at his house. He went there on Tuesday last. He was then drunk, and during the same night he consumed a quan tity of pale brandy. The following day he ordered a bottle of brandy, and drank about a pint of it. Richards, " fearing that he was killing himself," took away the brandy, and put it in a drawer, but he insisted on having it again, and asked Mrs. Richards "how she dared" to remove it. He drank some more that night, and the next day he ordered six bottles (quarts) of Allsopp's bit ter ale, the whole of which he drank, together with the brandy which was left on the previous night, and &small quantity more from another bottle, Zilch he ordered to be fetched on that day. On each evening he took "composing draughts" and effervescent powders, which were procured for him at a druggist's shop in the neigh bourhood. He kept his bed all the time, and only ate two basins of soup and some arrowroot. On Friday, at 1 o'clock in the morning, deceased called Richards, and on going into his bedroom he saw him stagger from the door and fall over a chair. He immediately got up again, and when Richards asked if he should assist him, the deceased said, "No, it's all right. I'm not hurt." Elam& then gave him some water, and about an hour and a half afterwards deceased called again and requested to be supplied with a basin of tea. It was procured for him, and he then commenced retching • Richards -Asked if he should call in a medical man, to Which deceased re plied, "No, I will not have a doctor ; I don't like doo tors—anything but that." At 7 o'clock the same morn ing he had some more tea, and at half-past 9 sent for another half-dozen bottles of bitter ale, and dra-ik a por tion of one bottle. About 10 minutes after this Mrs. Richards went to deceased again, when he appeared very faint. He asked for some carbonate of soda, and when she was getting it he fell back on the pillow, cast up his eyes, and opened his mouth. Mrs. Richards then sent for. Mr. Hunt, a surgeon. During the progress of the inquiry the Coroner read the following note, which was found in deceased's pockets : "T. H. Wodehouse presents his compliments to the Hon. Bertram Wodehouse, and begs to hand him 451. as requested. Messrs. C. and Co. hare received 881. 16s. Bd. only from Lord Wodehouse, so there will be a draught less than 151. due in the last month of the quar ter.-29, Cornhill, Sept. 4, 1856." In reply to a telegraphic communication which Richards sent to the Hon. Henry Wodehouse, Upper Brook-3treet, Grosvenor sqaare, London, apprising him of the death of the deceased, the following arrived dur ingthe Inquest : - - 7 ' Procure a shell ; some one will come down on Mon day. Write full particulPrs to R. C.--From Raikes Currie, Hythe, Kent." Mr. Hunt, surgeon, stated that he "was called to the deceased about 1 o'clock on Friday. He was then in bed, with a bottle of ale, partly drunk, in his hand, of which he occasionally partook. Deceased was not unconscious. Witness attempted to take the bottle from him, but he would not give it up. Deceased was pulseless ; his legs and arms were quite cold, and he was evidently in a dying state. When witness told him he would in all probability die he exclaimed, " Oh, no, not so bad as that !" He applied a mustard poultice over the heart, and tried other means, but deceased never rallied. He continually asked for bitter beer and brandy and soda. Witness succeeded in taking the bottle from deceased, and the last thing he did was to raise himself on his elbow and ask for cold water. Witness gave him a little,,and he then fell back and died. Witness con sidered that deceased died from exhaustion, consequent upon excessive drinking and his not taking any animal food." The Coroner, in summing up, said there could be no doubt that deceased was the Hon. Bertram Wodehouse, the uncle of the present Lord Wodehouse our ambassador at the Court of Russia. In tracing the peerage he found that the Hon. B. Wodehouse was described as a military. officer ; that he was born in April, 1813, and was conse quently 43 years old. Deceased would appear to be the fourth eon of John Wodehouse, the second baronet., and uncle of the present Lord Wodehouse. It would also ap pear from the letter before him that his Lordship had been in the habit of making deceased a half-yearly allow ance, which, however, seemed to have been paid him quarterly by Mr. Woodhouse, of London, who was, he understood, an army agent. The jury returned a verdict of " Died from exhaustion, consequent on excessive drinking." THE EARL OP CARDIGAN - MR. G. S. BUCK, M.P. TO THE EDITOii, OF THE SUN. Sir,—On my return to Deb!in, after an absence of • some days on date indifferent parts of Ireland, I find a letter from Mr. Buck, which has been copied into all the newspapers of the day, and which letter appears to me to be a tissue of ignorance, presumption, and slander. I consider that Mr. Buck's conduct in this matter has been disgraceful, and un worthy of his position as a gentle man and member of parliament. I consider also that he has offered a gross insult to me without the slightest provocation. ' It is, therefore, my intention to bold no further com munication with him. Some of Mr. Buck's ass er tions, however, requiring to be refuted, I must requ es t y ou to be so good as publish this letter. This individual has now identified himself with a low slanderer, whose statements—dictated no doubt by some Tuzzon much above his own position in society—were the origin of all those falsehoods which have been launched at ate, for it is well known that not one word was ever said on the subject in the Crimea for many months after the battle of Balaklava, or until those calumnies were invented in England and sent our, to the East. These calumnies met with no encouragement from the respectable portion of the press. It was therefore unneces sary for me to treat them otherwise than with silence and contempt. But it is different when a person in Mr. Buck's position, and which is usually occupied by a gentleman, thinks proper, at a public dinner, to make offensive allu sions highly derogatory to my reputation as a soldier. The direct and personal allusion to me, made by that individual at Torrington, hears no relation to ,tire obser vations of the Times newspaper, with which he so art fully tries to connect himself. That newspaper 'did not reflect, and never has re flected, upon my conduct in 'leading the charge of the Light Cavalry at Balaklava. What the Times newspaper alluded to as a "falsification of history" was, the praise of Lord Raglan as the commander in chief of the army. This is a matter of opinion ; but it would not prevent my again stating my respect for the memory of thattlis tinguished commander, and the high opinion I have ever entertained of his qualifications as a general. Mr. Buck then refers to the loss of horses on the heights of lukerman, but considering that the whole of this matter has recently been thoroughly investigated by order of the Government, and that I and my brother officers implicated have been relieved from all blame, I have only to observe that Mr. Buck's opinion on the subject is an infamous and disgusting slander. With regard to-being on board my yacht, the com mander in chief was well aware that I was too ill to live in camp, and he preferred my sleeping on board to my leaving the army. I consider, therefore, that I had sufficient authority for my conduct. It was from sleep ing on board this yacht that, on the 25th of October, 1854, by order Of my superior officer on the spot, I placed myself at the head of the Light Cavalry Brigade to attack the Russian batteries. Of my conduct on that occasion the following report was made by the General Commanding in Chief :—"The order was obeyed in the most spirited and gallant man ner. Lord Cardigan charged with the utmost vigour, and attacked a battery vetich was firing upon the ad vancing squadroas, and having assed beyond it engaged the Russian cavalry in the rear," &c. And by the lieu tenant general commanding the cavalry division : " This attack was of a very daring and difficult nature, and was led by Major General the Earl of Cardigan in a most gallant and intrepid manner." And now I have to state in the most positive terms that after entering the battery all rallying was utterly impracticable. Cavalry cannot rally with an immensely superior force of cavalry in their front, and two batteries playing upon their right and left rear, in addition to the fire of a large body of riflemen. In such a. position troops must either advance or re tire. In Advancing beyond a certain pointall would have been destroyed. In my last letter to Mr. Buck I de scribed what occurred to myself until the period of our entering the battery, I stated that, advancing at a charging pace through obstacles which one horse might pass, but a line of troops could not well follow, I came alone upon a large force of Russian cavalry ; that I was attacked by two Cossacks in front, slightly!wounded, and nearly unhorsed. I have now to add that an at tempt was made by several more Cossacks to surround me, but I defended myself and got clear of then. Mean time the line that had followed into the battery were gallantly doing their duty by cutting down and lancing the gunners, and in surmounting the many difficulties on account of the guns, ammunition waggons, and other obstacles of the advance. Many did advance imme diately afterwards in different directions, and gallantly did their utmost. For myself, having to retire from the position which I have described, I considered it my duty to retreat at a- slow pace, and I have fortunately twe witnesses to prove that this was the case —viz., Major- General Sir James Scarlett and his orderly, who, being in advance of the Heavy Brigade down the hill, would testify to the truth of my statement. It is fortunate that I should have two witnesses, if necessary, to pro tect me against the malignant" slanders of Messrs. Buck and Ryan. During the time I have alluded to numbers of the brigade were retreating, and many were shot down by the Russian riflemen in my immediate neighbourhood, and immediately afterwards all the brigade were retreat ing, after having rallied in the only way in which troops could rally under such circumstance viz., going about and retreating ; and in doing so they very properly retired at the same pace as they had ad vanced. The usual manner to rally is to reform. In this cane it would have been certain destruction to all. Mr. Buck then referred to the trial of Captain Wa th(n and its consequences, and whom, in order to enhance the general truth of his statements, he names a distinguished officer, although at that time never having left the barracks of the United Kingdom. Considering that the whole of the subject was brought before Parliament more than 20 years since, and that on the motion of the late Sir Wm. Molesworth, there was, in a full House of Commons, a majority of 8 to 1 in my favour that I then went to India, and bringing back the 11th Light Dragoons (afterwards Iltksars), commanded them for 18 years, such a reference can only be de3ignated as mean, paltry, and despicable. In the course of this and other letters I have given a full account of all that occurred in the Light Cavalry charge at Balaklava, the subject of which is clearly the main object of attack with such slanderers as Messrs. Buck and Ryan. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, Dublin, Oct. 11, 1856. CARDIGAN. P.S.—I wish , o correct an error in my detailed re port of the officers engaged in the charge of Light Ca valry at Balaklava, having inadvertently omitted the name 'of Lieut. Chadwick, the adjutant of the 17th Lancers. This officer went forward with some men after entering the batt er y, w h en hi s horse was killed, and he was himself w o u n d e d, t a k en p r isoner, and kept a year in captivity. I feel that it i 3 not fair to leave out the Hanle of any officer engaged in that desperate attack. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. A special meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held yesterday in the Council Chamber, Guildhall, further to consider the report of the committee of works and improvements, pursuant to the references by the board on the subject of street improvements in South wark, and a new street from King-street, Covent-garden, towards Coventry-street, recommending for the conside ration of the board a new line of street, commencing near the Town Hall, Southwark, and extending to the point of intersection of Vine-street with the York-road ; and also recommending for the consideration of the b mrd a new line of street extending from Cranbourne-street, Leicester-square, to King-street, Covent-garden ; and also to consider the following motion, notice of which has been given by Mr. Irvine, on the 22d September : To submit plans and suggestions for the formation and improvement of certain thoroughfares in the boroughs of Southwark and Lambeth, and to move that the conside ration thereof be referred to a select committee. The report of the committee was as follows : " Your committee have to report that, in pursuance of the resolution of the board of the 28th March last (No. 13), referring to them the memorial from South wark, respecting etreet improvements in that locality, together with the. report of the finance committee, pre , ented to the board on that day, explaining, fur the information of the board, what funds exist for effecting improvements in Southwark, and the trusts upon which such funds are held, they have directed their attention to the several matters referred to in the memorial and report, and have examined various schemes which have from time to time been proposed for the promotion of anew line of thorough fare, for facilitating the traffic between the High-street, Southwark, and the West-end of the metropolis, and on a full consideration of the subject, have arrived at the conclusion that the line of street which presents the greatest advantages is _that witith commences near the Town Hall. Southwark, and extends to the point of inter section of Vine-street with the York-road, and is shown upon the plan submitted with this report, and they ac cordingly beg to recommend the same for the considera tion of the board. "Your committee subjoin an estimate of the cost of such new street, prepared by the superintending archi tent. " Your committee have also to report that the resolu tion of the board of the 13th June, 1856, having directed that the subject of the formation of a new street between Cranbourne.street, Leicester-square, King-street, Co vent-garden, be referred to the superintending architect for a report to be made to this commission, the superin tending•architect has laid before your committee a plan, showing a new line of street between the points in ques tion, with the following estimate of the cost : "Estimate of the cost of forming a new street from the corner of St. Martin's-lane and Long-acre, to King street, Covent-garden, as proposed by Mr. Pennethorne, and referred to in the Seventh Report of the Metropolis Improvement Commissioners : " OUTLAY. Purchases of property, goodwills, &e £82,337 10 per cont. for contingencies ... 8,233 500 feet run of sewer, paving, &c. Total £91,820 " RETURN. By wile of ground rents, 760 feet .;. £45,600 By sale of old materials 1,200 £46,800 Net cost " And your committee beg to submit such plan for the consideration of the board. (Signed) " J. THWAITES. " CHARLES ATKINS. " FRANCIS CHALMERS." The estimate for making this new street in the Bo rough is given in detail in an appendix from which it makes a total of 895,1041., and the return (net cost) from property resold, &c., is set down at 263,3101., and Government grant, 90,000/. ; making a total of 173,3101. The Superintending Architect, Mr. MARRABLE, in reply to numerous questions, stated that he fully coin cided in the recommendations of the committee ; in fact, it was his own recommendation. It was true that the new street, 80 feet in width, would open in a street only 50 feetin width. He did not propose to alter the level Dl' a single crossing, and eventually the new street might be made to communicate with the West-end, by crossing over Hungerford-bridge (converted into a ‘road bridge), and terminating in Northumberland-street ; but this was only a suggestion. The proposed street would be a perfectly straight one, and this appeared to him very de sirable. He knew that the Hungerford-bridge Company had long had it in contemplation to convert the bridge into a road bridge. Mr. DREW was in favour of St. Thomas-street as a starting-point in place of the Town-hall. Mr. COLLINSON said that a new street had been looked upon with great interest by the inhabitants of the Bo rough, and called attention to the fact that the second act of Parliament bad appropriated 30,000/. to a new communication from Westminster to Southwark, not mentioning Stamford-street, as the first appropriation act did. If the new line of street were constructed very close to the Thames, it would be a viaduct blocking out light and air from the inhabitants of the low-lying dis trict. The speaker (hfr. Collinson) then - proceeded to st.•v the ino invenience of opening into York -street, as bad been proposed, and which seemed to meet with some degree of favour, and remarked that the board ought to take care that they would not leave a greater nuisance in Southwark than they had found in it. There would be this advantage in commencing attbe Town-hall, namely, that they could proceed as they wished westward at a level, but where should they terminate the street? Stamford-street was evidently not contemplated by the act of parliamw. But he did not think that it was necessary to go to the York-road, and was in favour of terminating the street in Waterloo•road at the corner of Stamford-street. Ano• Vier objection to the plan was that it crossed the Water loo-road near the railway station. The hon. member then specified some other slight objections to the recom mendation of the committee, but on the whole was in favour of the plan. He moved "That a new line of communication be opened from Southwark and West minster Bridges, and that the commencement be at the Town Hall, Southwark?' Mr. FEW seconded the motion, for the purpose of having the question discussed. Mr. DOULTON protested against the proposition of the committee. Their plan seemed to him a most prepos terous one. The public and the House of Commons, and he hoped the board likewise, would not give their sanction to any half measure, and it was precisely upon this ground that he opposed the plan. It would brine. the traffic of a street of 80 feet in width into a street of 60 feet for 700 feet. He would move as an amendment —" That the architect be directed to prepare a plan and estimates for a new line of street, commencing as nearly as possible at the South-Eastern Railway stations, and terminating opposite Stamford-street." Mr. SAVAGE seconded the amendment. They should not throw away so valuable a street as Stamford-street. Mr. BIDGOOD strenuously opposed the amendment. If they were anxious to start from the point nearest to London-bridge, he thought they would find that the nearest was the one indicated by the architect. In his opinion Westminster Bridge was doomed, and they would see a new bridge erected very much nearer Charing-cross than the present one. Mr. CRELLIN spoke in favour of having the com mencement of the new street as nigh as possible to the South-Eastern Railway termini. Mr. Deputy HARRISON said he would vote for the amendment, but would prefer baying the matter again referred to the committee, in order that they might state their opinion on the connection of the new street with Wellington-street, inasmuch as he thought the expres sion in the amendment, "as nearly as possible," was ambiguous. This, he fully admitted, would involve some delay, which, however, he thought would p rove salu tary. The line specified in the amendment would indi cate their future progress, and it was almost as much as the public could expect of the board during one EerSiOn of parliament. The CHAIRMAN observed that if the board made an order to-day for the superintending architect to survey the line, and directed the committee to assist in the pre paration, there would be still time enough to get the no tices out for next session. (Hear.) Mr. OFFER would vote for referring the matter back again to the committee, in order that they might exa mine all the plans which had only been before the archi tect ; but after such an examination he was convinced that the committee would express a preference for the plans of the superintending architect. Mr. FEW reminr:ed the hoard that the plan of the architect was the one which had the approval of the go vernment. Mr. TAYLOR read a quotation from the blue-book, which, he argued, showed that the government were in favour of making use of Stamford-street Several other hon. members having expressed their opinions in favour of the amendment in qualified terms, Mr. COLLINSON said, under the present circumstances, he would withdraw his motion. (Hear.) The amendment of Mr. Doulton having now buconie the original motion, Mr. WRIGHT, whilst acknowledging that there ex isted a necessity for a new street from Stamford-street to Londote ! britlge, would yet move the following amend ment which he apprehended was not opposed in principle to the motion :—" That the consideration of the report of the committee be adjourned, and that they be em powered to instruct the architect to prepare a plan and estimate of a street from Stamford-street to London bridge, and from the New cut to 114;h-street, and lay the opinion before the board," In his opinion Union-, street ought to be widened. Mr. WILKINSON seconded this amendment. Mr. DIFFANGER` suggested that Mr. Taylor's plan should be referred to the committee. Mr. TURNER opposed the amendment, which, if car ried, would encumber the proceedings of the committee. Mr. IRVINE made certain suggestions, and said that he had prepared plans by which all the Southwark itn proveinents could , he thought, :be carrie d ou t at the . cost of the' proposed plan. Mr. D. HARRISON hoped the board would refer the plans of Mr. Irvine, as well as the others, to the com mittee. For the amendthent, 11 ;. against it, 12. Mr. 11. L. TAYLOR said they must give the usual no tices BO as to enable them to proceed to Pailiament is [ PEIO3 4D. STAMPED bD. the present ses:don. If that could be done he should be happy to render them every assistance. The CHAIRMAN' Was; of opinion that they would not have time to survey e ma prepare plans for more than one street, to enable th era to go to Parliament in the present session. Mr. COLLINSON said if the plan of Mr. Doulton wa , adopted it would bo most disastrous to the borough of Southwark. It would be necessary to carry it by viaduct from London-bridge to the Borough Market, and would be most injurious to the inhabitants of that district. Several members said that there was no plan by Mr. Doulton before the board. Mr. SEELEY said he was most desirous that something should he done in the present session. He was most desirous that the point of discharge should be settled from Southwark bridge-road to London-bridge. Mr. DOULTON said he was as desirous as any one that Union-wreet should be widened ; but the question was, wheth( r the present was the proper time to do it. He did pot think that they could carry out both schemes in time, and therefore he was in favour of the original motion. Mr. LESLIE believed the whole of this rnanceuvring :VW; cnly with a desire to throw the matter over for the present session, as they would have Pott's vinegar -works to deal with in the first instance, Apsley P‘.llatt's works in the second, the Phoenix Gas -works in the third, and the Borough-market in the fourth. The time for giving notic,s was close at hand, and the whole desire was to throw the subject over for the present year. They proposed to erect a viaduct near London -bridg e , and thus put the whole thing upon stilts—(bear)— an d many of those present well knew that the thing could not be done. The amendment having been negatived, Mr. Doulton's motion was put, "That the committee he instructed to prepare a plan and estimates of a new Line of street, commencing at, or as near as practicable, opposite the entrance to the South-Eastern Railway, and terminate in Blackfriars-road, in the line of Stamford-street. The motion was then put by the CHAIRMAN, when there appeared— For the motion . Against it Maj0rity........... NEW STREET ERON CRANBOURNE-STREET TO COVENT- 16 GARIJEN. -10 Mr. FEW brought forward this subject, and quoted a letter received a short time since from the Chief Commis sioner of Works, in which Sir Benjamin Hall said that, as a considerable sum was in hand, and an the Duke of Bedford bad given his assent to the plan, he placed the matter in the hands of this board to carry it out. If they declined to do so he would give the necessary no tices, and bring a bill into Parliam , ant in the coming session. Mr. Few urged the importance of early con sidering this question to the district which he repre -Beuted, and said that the Duke of Bedford had offered to contribute 15,0001. to the expense, or about one-third of the total cost estimated by their superintending ar chitect. He concluded by moving "That the plan re ported by the committee of works and improvements for the formation of a new street between Cranbourne-street and Leicester-square and King-street, Covent-garden, be approved by this board." Mr. DALTON seconded the motion, and in support of it said that Parliameat had already endorsed the scheme, and had provided the funds to carry it out. Mr. CRELLIN said be should move an amendment that the question be deferred until. the board bad the whole plans for the improvement of London before it. Mr. R. TAYLOR said they could get at the improve. ment now proposed at a very small expense ; and al though the (Mr. Taylor) was a younger man than him, he thought if they waited for the plan for the improve ment of all London to be brought forward, he should never live to see the present proposed improvement car riedlout. Therefore, he did hope that the plan proposed by Mr. Few would be adopted. Mr. BIDGOOD was sorry to disturb his friend's mind as to the unanimity that would be borne to upon this question. The plan now proposed was quite unworthy of being called a metropolitan improvement, and led to nowhere but Covent-garden market. As it would bene fit no persons but those engaged in and living about that market, he considered that if this alteration was to be made the Duke of Bedford ought to pay the whole of the expense. He contended that they were not ju , tified in spending the ratepayers' money on any such object, for the Duke of Bedford took care to put bars across the public streets, so that there should not be a public thoroughfare ; and if this money was spent, it would be on a private and not a public property. OFFOR also oppesed the motion, and considered, if it was carried out, it ought to be entirely at the ex- pense of the Duke of Bedford, for it was a small and peddling improvement, and unworthy of being executed at the ratepayers' expense. Mr. D'IFPANGER was surprised at some of the objec tions now taken, and thought that if they had any value in them they ought to have been stated in the first in stance, and that the plan ought not to have been re ferred to the committee. It was said that this was a very small plan, but that appeared to him to be rather a reason why they should carry it out. He hoped there would not be that desire to throw cold water upon everything, for if that was to be the the case, instead of being a "Metropolitan Board of Works," they would b e called a board of do-nothings. He should be very sorry if that board did nothing, and hoped that the plan would be adopted. _ _ Mr. TURNER was in favour of the motion, as it would not be at the expense of the ratepayers, but of the Duke of Bedford and the Government. Mr. HAWKES opposed the motion as a useless espendi. ture of the public money. The CHAIRMAN then put the question, when there appeared— - For the motion Against it Majority —B Mr. lt. TAYLOR then moved "That the proper steps be forthwith taken for making application to Parlia ment in the ensuing session for the necessary powers to carry out the proposed improvements, and that the chairman be requested to employ such draughtsmen and others as may be needed by the architect to make the necessary preliplinaries." Mr. FEW seconded the motion, which was put and agreed to. The board adjourned at 10 minutes past five o'clock. COURT OP A LDERMEN. Yesterday a Court was held for the despatch of public business. The newly-elected Sheriffs for London and Middlesex, Messrs. Mechi and Keats, took their seats in the court for the first time since their accession to office. Mr. Alderman Hale, the newly-elected Alderman, was sworn into office, and after having received the con gratulations of the Lard Mayor and Aldermen present took his seat. FRENCH SYMPATHY WITH THE ITALIANS. The following placard has been secretly posted in various quarters of Paris : "To THE ITALIAN PEOPLE.—INSURRECTION IS THE hOLIEST OF DUTIES. "July 14, August 10, February 24, January 12, March 22, February 9. "Brothers and Friends,—Honour to you who have not been crushed by your many oppressors—who have not been discouraged by the most cruel deception ! It is now centuries since the spirit of evil fell upon Italy, as the noblest prey it could devour, clutching you in its two talons—Papacy and empire. For centuries this spirit hue sucked your blood, and striven to poison your soul with its pestiferous breath. But your soul is immortal ! That priest who returned to Rome through a smoking breach—that Bourbon in whose bosom beats the heart of Tiberius—those Austrian ravens that croak upon the harmonious banks of the Adige, all know and feel, and tremble at the knowledge that intelligence and life has not abandoned their vic tim. They all feel that the soil of Italy quivers under their accursed feet, and that there are there undaunted giants, such as were found formerly in the mountains of heroic Sicily. The blood of the martyrs has but ferti lised your soil. You possess courage, intelligence, and constancy, and you have that experience which is bought by long misfortune. You want but one thing—arms ! You shall have them. You must have them. Already you you have appealed to the true children of Italy. Every one of them has offered his mite, so that those who shall first have the honour to proclaim your eman cipation may find ready to their hands the instruments wherewith to carry on the holy war. Our hearts have leaped with joy at the news come to us across the Alps that you are secretly storing up your first muskets while waiting for the day of your deliverance. We also desire to come to your aid and take part in your fraternal union. Receive, brothers and friends, the produce of the French subscription ; receive it not only as a proof of sympathy, but also as an offering of gratitude ; for you are setting a great and useful example—that of ex treme constancy under the weight of extreme oppression ; and it is, perhaps, from you that the spark will proceed which is destined to reanimate the world. No nation has suffered more than Italy ; and none, if there be justice upon earth, will have a prouder place among re generate nations. For the people and students of Paris, "THE COMMITTEE." THE CHINESE IMRE thION". Since our last issue the news from the interior has be come more and more alarming to the Imperialists, whose armies are retiring before the rebels in the direction of Soo-chow. Last week the position of the Imperial forces was reported to be thattho General in Chief Heang-yang occupied Tan-yang, while his advanced guard under Chang-kwoh-leang was at Ken-yang. This week Heaug yang is reported to have fallen back ou Chang-chow, and Chattg-kwoh-leang to have retired to Tan-yang ; leaving the former position of the Imperialists at Kew hwa-sang, where Keih fell into the hands of the rebels, and the whole of the ground between Chin-koang and Nankin open to them. In the western part of Keang-soo the cities Of Keu-yung, Leih-paeg, and Leih-shwuy are certainly occupied by the rebz:s, while the mandarins in, these places are either decapitated or fled. To these may be added E-hing, which has been taken by the rebels, who are said to be spreading themselves over the Tae-hoo, and Tung-ting-ean, but lately the resort of European tourists. Since penning the above the news has just reached. us that the rebels took possession of Tan-yang on Sunday, the 6th July. This brings them into closer proximity to Soo-chow, and the chances are that in a short time the contending parties will be engaged in a deadlystruggle fer that capital of the province, and the outlet of commerce for Shangh a i. Heang-yung has already re tired to commerce? !y which is only about 30 miles from Soo-chow. The richer inhabitants of Soo•ehow had pre viously removed to Tungting-san where th e y are likely to fall directly into the h an d s of the insurgents. We .understand that the Canton people about Shanghai are enlisting volunteers to go to assist in the war, but which side they will take is uncertain. One thing is certain, that the movers in the business have no warrant from the Government, and from the character of the parties engaged the chances are that they will rather aid than repress insurrection. We lave also heard that the fleet of 40 saik of junks which some time ago went up the Yang-tse-kiang, under the Chinese Nelson, threatening to take everything, is now cooped up between Chin keang and.Nankin, unable to pass the batteries at either place, without powder and without provisions. ---North, Cliino Herold, July 12. - • A h 0 RRIB I E ASSASSINATION. One of those revoltin assaiSinations at which the heart sickens, and which have become so common in these days of enormity, was committed in this county on the night of the 26th ult. The victims were Mr. A. E. Moore, his wife, and a lovely orphan girl, 12 yea rs old, who was, by adoption, one of the family. They had just seated themselves at the supper table in the entry of their house, when the assassin, coolly fixing a rest for his gun by propping a board between the two sterns of althea 20 steps from the table, and in full view of his uraiuspestine: victims, discharged at them a double barrelled gun. At the first fire Moore fell. His wife, who sat on his left, exclaimed, "Lord, have mercy !" and at that instant received the contents of a second gun, fired in quick succession. She fell instantly, and the orphan girl, who was seated on Moore's right, and between Mr. Moore and the assassin, sprang into the house and called for camphor, but before the servant could get to her she was dead. Mr. Moore received three stints in the head and four in the right side of the chest. This arm above the elbow was much shattered arid the hand shot through. Ile lived a few minutes, but, nevi- spoke. Mrs. Moore received four shots in the fac', and never seemed to have breathed after she fell. A tingle shot struck the young girl a little to the left of the spine, p a ssed through tho heart, and, coming out at the left nipple, lodged in her clothes. I have this shot in my possession ; it is evidently a slug. Mr. Moore was an intelligent, amiable, worthy citizen. Among the most warm-hearted, womanly, and benevo lent of her sex, Mrs. Moore had no superior. Without children herself, she had shown the goodness of her nature in adopting from among the indigent three home less orphans, on whom she not only lavished all the care and kindness of a mother, but by will has left them (now but two—a young lady 16 and a boy 14 years) most of her large estate. —Marion (Texas) Correspondent of the New Orleans Delta. ATTEMPTED DOUBLE MURDER AT LIVERPOOL . —A a barber, formerly li v i ng i n the police-court this morning a mis era bl e• l ook i ng man Liverpool, but latterly iesiding ill Man c h es t er , was charged with attempting to murder his wif e an d a man named ,Thomas Willett?, named Fisher.

About 12 :north, ago ho left her, and he ivas subsequently re ported to be dead. In August, however, she had beard that he 'was at Manchester, and she went there anra found him living with another w oman. He did not come back with her. She had latterly been living in a collar in Tarleton-street, Everton. On Saturday night she was serving a customer with a bottle of ginger beer, when the prisoner entered. His.hat was slouched over his eyes, and she did not know him, He went round the counter, and she said, "Eh, Sir!" He repeated her words mock ingly, laid hold of tier, and commenced jobbing her throat with a pocket knife. The young man (Wm. Fisher) went to her assistance, and the prisoner also out him abort the throat and chest. Inspector Dougal, and offi cer 477, afterwards came and apprehended the prisoner, h e w as sorry he had not got th e j o b done, own throat too.

TAX ON THE FREEDOM OF THE CITY. The LORD MAYOR—Before the gentlemen of the ward of Coleman-street retire I may take this opportunity of stating that by recent regulations of the corporation all fees on admission for freedoms have been entirely abro gated, and they therefore hope to see all the citize❑ in habitants of this metropolis enrolling themselves at Guildhall, as entitled to the franchise, and taking part in all ward elections, so that every inhabitant of the City who is on the Parliamentary register will also be on the burgess roll of the corporation, and voting as free citizens at all elections in their respective wards. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WOODTIIORPE read a lengthy report detailing the proceedings of the corporation on the occasion of their septennial visit to the jurisdiction of the City in the Thames and Medway on the 6th of August last. Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY presented a petition to the Court complaining of fraud perpetrated by a broker upon a person with whose money he had been intrusted. The broker, who was not in attendance, was ordered to he summoned to appear at the next Court. The Court adjourned. We are informed that Colonel Gordon, R.E., C. 8., A.D.C. to the Queen, will appear in to-clay's or Friday's Gazette as being made Deputy Adjutant-General to•the Corps of Royal Engineers, in succession to Colonel Matson, who has retired with the honorary rank7,of major general. ROBBERY OF PICTURES FROM THE EARL OF SUFFOLK'S , GALLEBY.—lnformation has been received by the police authorities in Great Scotland-yard of an extensive rob bery of valuable paintings, which took place under cir cumstances of a mysterious and extraordinary nature at Charlton-park, near Wiltshire, the seat of the Earl of Suffolk, on the night of Friday last. The thieves con trived to obtain admission to the picture gallery, and adroitly took from their frames some valuable paintings, doubtless for the purpose of more convenient removal and to avoid recognition. The pictures stolen are a " Virgin and Child," by Leonardo da Vinci ; two Land. seeps, by Gaspar Poussin ; "A Virgin and Child," by Procaecini ; "Le Rabotteur," by Aniball CAracei ; "]lead of our Saviour," by Guido ; "The Nativity," by Guido ; a Sea-piece, by Vandervelde " Interior of a Dutch House," by Van der Izleydtti ; and " A View of Tivoli," by Poussin. The police lost no time in circu latiog amongst the picture dealers and pawnbrokers in formation of the robbery, with a description of the pic tures. A COUPARISON.--FRENCH AND ENGLISH.—In all that relates to social refinement the artists of Paris are im measurably our superior,. The exceeding gracefulness of French design, ac applied to costume, is especially re while the attempts at similar representations in this country amount to neither more nor less than an outrage on taste. Of this there is an obvious proof in the beautiful Parisian designs for mantles, we , executed for the Messrs. Jay, arid which serve as illustrations of their attractive annual display of costumes. These en gravings, it may be remarked, are distributed, gratis, on application at the LondonGeneralMourcing Warehor 0 247, 219, 251, Regent street. On inspecting them it will be found that a r t and f as hi on were never Wore inti mately combined. To ladies resident in the country these designs will be found of extreme value. In the baronial hall they will convey a much more accurate idea of the various articles of dress than any verbal description. 7'llL MILITARY .PE ACAS A 1 , 11 z: # - a• a , . .•A ------- . -: , ;5 , 5.VP,..., it might have been stii Vosett t - . :k:- Af • ... ...., 11 , 7 i ie. the Crime a would ha. - v. .. ~. •tt ~ oilicersof the Mimic ficilts a ftil .

L or d E'!•riest Vatic Tempest—for it is the incr.° of the Windsor Theatre who has recently been endeavour jug to cover himself with fresh glory at I:rig:11ton —has just been placed under arrest, and with. him a certain Cornet Birt and a Lient. Wiustsieley, Whose names are as yet unknown to fame. Tr: 'lore is :-:e little of imagination or invention in the tr. icks of the'n own-J.-own schoolboys ti.tat We can scare ely hope to gra•,ty- the curiosity of the public by a ro ci till of their enormities. It is just the old story ,of breaking into bedrooms at night, throwing the patient's clotlos into water, pouring water into his shaving th e hair, whisker, and moustache ott one side of his head, so as to convert him into an. emblem of peace and war—in fact, just what occurred a year or two ago at Windsor and Canter bury. This time, to be sure, there has been no mock duel ; but, as a set-off, there was a new teic Pan-trick, pl a y e d off the other rh day y y be called the at Brighton. The young officer who was marked out as the subject o f thi s, p l easantry ' was forced into a chair and firmly strapped dew:: in it, a napkin was tied under his chin, and when he was in that position pap was thrust into his mouth with a spoon. The young rioters, it seems, must have studied the manipulations of nurses with peculiar zeal. They had ob -served that when infants refused their food the ladies who are mos t d ee ply vers ed in the myst er i es of nursing are in the habit o f s lapping the back s o f their interesting charges, and of accompanying these slaps with cries which seem to stimulate the powers of deglutition. This system was imitated in the case of the Dragoon-babf•who had bee.o fas tened itt - the chair at Brighton the other day. We read " that he was fed with par, and, on resisting, was slapped behind, and treated in every respe et like an infant." It may, perhaps, also be est€•n ed something of a novelty in the annals of practical joking, as understood at military messes, that in the case of another young officer who had beou marked out by his associates . as a fit subject for forcible ridicule they stole some of his clothes, with them dressed up a mannikin in the resemblance of their companion in arms, and suspended it by the neck from a dome in the barracks. These are th e only two points of novelty in the recent transal:.- tions at Brighton which appear to deserve particu - lar notice. Nothing is alleged to the prejudice of the young gentlemen who have been the victims of these cruel absurdities but that they refused to join in the pranks and bear's-play of their comrades. The late Lord Hardinge in the last years of his life set his face very determinedly against the sys tem of practical joking: It is true that it was not until he bad been stimulated into forcible action by the indignation which had been so generally and vehemently .expressed on the subject of the Windsor Court-martial that he was roared to ex ertion. The point of honour with , tho military authorities seems to be to show that they are in dependent of public opinion. This is called pre serving the army from the " dictation " of civilia.'is, and redounds greatly to the honour and glory of the advocates of the theory, who, we may renaNrk, are chiefly composed of fussy old Generals, who, .maunder about " anonymous " writers, .and thi tik themselves at liberty, so far as the press is c(_ fa cerned, to violate all the decencies of society. \V° question, however, if the system would he mai :a taiued if its professors could at all appreciate ate amount of disgrace and ridicule they bring upo•,u that which should be a noble profession. Whoa. civilians stand by and see suck a mockery of j ustict , as that which took place in the case of Lieutenant Perry at Windsor, or the farce at Chelsea Hospital the other day, an amount of contempt for military men and military administration - is aroused which will one day most surely make itself felt. Mean while it operates to bring the military character into discredit and to lower .the prestige of every officer who wears the British uniform. With the ap pointment of the Duke of Cambridge as Coinmancler in• Chief, we hope, for the sake of the army, to see an end of these absurd and mischievous traditions of milirary rt ). He has entered upon his adminis tration . th clean hands ; let him ' avoid tlio coon f the - self-opinionated old gentlemen who w persuade him to disconnect the ideas of mi:iar and of ordinary justice. Whenever an .. e or a crime is brought under the notice of the Commander-in-Chief—whether it be committed 44y officer or by private let his simple rescript be "Fiatjastitia," arid let justice be rendered at once in the broad light of day, without mystery and without prejudice. If what the advo cates of our present military system tell us be true, they have everythiu,,, ,, to gain , nothing ti lose, by the utmost amo un t o f publicity. We are informed by them that the young officers who disgrace them selves and their profession by the perpetration of these practical jokes are infinitely few in number— that they constitute but a small percentage even of the younger officers. Why, then, allow wealthy and titled libertines to bully a young man of a different disposition out of a regiment, and thus ruin his military career for ever ? Above all things avoid secrecy in these inquiries. No ono supposes that the 28,000,000 of people who con stitute, the population of the British isles are habi tual pickpockets because a certain number of per sons are openly condemned for the commission of that offence every year. If they were tried in secret, and before judges whose first principle it was to set the opinion of the public at defiance, it may be that speculation would run in the other direc tion. . After all, the judges of the land contrive to get • through a good deal of business in the year in the broad light of day, and to give general satisfaction. Whenever cases are tried before them, the press— that nightmare of General officers—preserves a rerigious silence, because we are all aware that they will do their duty. It is because there is a feeling abroad of a diametrically opposite kind with regard to military tribunals that their proceedings ordi narily excite clamoUr and discontent. They are not trusted, and hence the pnblic attention is keenly alive to their proceedings. A change Of policy on their part would soon lull to rest all this jealousy and suspicion. At present the received opinion is that the morality of a military tribunal is lower than that of any other judicial board in the king dom. Let us hope that the Duke of Cambridge will introduce changes_ in the military administration in this particular, for it closely concerns the honour of the profession of which he is the recognised chief. To pass from this more general view of the case to tho particular instance now before us, can there be any- thing more lowering in the public estimation to the younger officers of the army than this system of practical joking The Duke of Cambridge, who has an extensive experience of the usagesof foreign services, must be well aware that, had such an affair as the one which has recently occurred at Brighton happened in any regiment in the employ ment of France, Austria, or Prusiia, the unfortu nate young man who had been the subject o f the practical joke could no t have remained in the ser vice unless he had successively met and slain every one of the officers who had so grievously insulted him. We doubt if any minor wound would have been held sufficient to atone for the offence ; but at least the offended officer must have challenged his assailants to mortal combat, and risked his own life to purge his honour. Now, we have no wish to z.ee the army turned into a school for duellists, but at least let it not be a cockpit for unmannerly schoolboys.
