''''' , Passing on to the subject of administrative acknowledged that it led to several important. imp mei t 3, but confessed that he regarded it altrost'aS a hopeless matter unless the Parliamentary coustituenc'es would bestir themselves and give a strong and unmis takeable expressio❑ of the popular opinion on the sub ject. Mr. Layard, in conclusion, expressed a hope that his votes in Parliament had given satisfaction to h • constituents, and was much cheered at the conclusion c f his speech. Mr. J. GIBBS, an elector, expressed in flattering terms his approbation of the Parliamentary conduct of Mr. Layard, which, he said, had tended to advance civil, commercial, and religious freedom, while he had never given one vote adverse to the liberties of the people. (Cheers.) Mr. R. DICKENS, though deprecating the strong han kering which Mr. Layard had for the war principle, nevertheless heartily approved his conduct generally, and moved, amid much cheering, a resolution expressing the entire confidence of the meeting in him as their repre sentative. [PRICE 4D. STAMPED S D• MB. LAYARD AND HIS CONSTITUENTS. AYLESBURY, JULY 24. Last night Mr. Layard, one of the representatives in Parliament of this the county town of Buckinghamshire, presented himself before his constituents, at a public meeting held in the county ball, to render an account of hie public conduct as their representative during the ses sion about to terminate, in pursuance of a rule he pre scribed for himself when they returned him to Parlia ment. The meeting was but thinly attended. Mr. Acton Tindal wee called to preside, and that gentleman having assumed the chair, and in a few brief observations introduced Mr. Layard to the audience, Mr. LAYABD, who on presenting himself was loudly cheered, after a few preliminary remarks, said this year had passed, like many others, without any great service having been rendered to the country as far as home poli tics were concerned, but it was not so as regarded ques tions of foreign policy. Events had occurred within the last few months which would tell on this country as long as they lived, and of which the effect would probably be felt for generations afterwards. He alluded, of course, to the conclusion of the war with Russia, and to the peace recently signed in Paris. His opinions on the war had been to a certain extent justified, and the prognos tications he ventured to put forth about three years ago had been realised. England, and not only England, but the greater part of Europe, felt that Russia was assum ing a position in the balance of power in Europe which was tending rapidly to destroy that balance of power, and with it the liberties, not only of Europe, but even of the world at large. (Hear, hear.) It was for that reason that . the war was undertaken ; after the termina tion of that ever-memor a bl e siege efforts were made to bring about a peace.He „h4pper.ed,to be in Paris on the day the peace was m , g:34d e They *ere aware thet the French Government iVere exceedingly anxious that the peace should be signed, and that they scarcely con cealed their readiness to make every sacrifice to accorn- OA that object. That feeling of the Government was encouraged, if not brought about, by a general expres sion of sentiment in France, which manifested itself in rejoicings on the occasion of its signature which he could scarcely characterise as other than indecent and totally unworthy a great nation. He did not mean to say that peace was not desirable. No man could hesitate be tween peace and war in the abstract ; but, unfortu nately, in France, the abstract question was only con sidered, and the real interests involved in it were put aside altogether. No one could contend that the peace which had been conc'ude I had given entire satisfaction to the country. (Rear, hear.) It was received without enthusiasm, and was accepted only because we felt that we were not in a position to carry on the contest single handed. He knew it did not give satisfaction to him ; bur, probably for the same reasons which influenced public opinion, he did not oppose it ; and he would tell them why. When the war was commenced he thought we should have taken something more than the mere cause of Turkey into consideration, and that we should have done something more for the great European principles at stake in the contest. (Hear, hear.) He had hoped our action would have extended much fur ther than Turkey, and that many questions affecting the happiness and liberties of millions of the human race would have been solved by this war. That was a reasonable hope, but it had been utterly disappointed. We bad gained something, no doubt, but he maintained that what we had gained was unequal to the sacrifices we had made. (Hear, hear.) As respected the ques tion of the Danubian Principalities—Moldavia and Wallachia—those two provinces were occupied by ' between 4,000,000 and 5,000,000 inhabitants speak ing a similar language, but differing altogether from that spoken in Russia, and professing the Greek faith,. Tcose two provinces were or rather had been—as the reign of their princes bad now ended— governed by two semi-in dependent princes, under the suzerainty of the Porte. Russia by certain treaties had a right, not of direct in terference, but of protecting or rather guaranteeing a certain form of government in the principalities ; and she used those treaties and those privileges to establish a direct right to interfere in their internal affairs, which led to very serious and fatal results. Whenever it suited Russia to pick a quarrel with the Porte the first step she took was to enter the principalities, which she did on the plea of enforcing the privileges of the people, and so to excite some popular commotion. One of the great objects of the war was to prevent Russia having this pretence of interference, and to abrogate the treaties which furnished it. This first point, he thought, had not been attained ; nothing definite had really been done ; the question had been left altogether unsettled ; aed that must also be attributed to the indecent haste on the part of the French Government to conclude a peace as quickly as possible. It was proposed at the conference that the principalities should be united into one inde pendent province. That question was also deferred ; so that, in fact, this question of the principalities had been left entirely undecided--in Paris. Within the last two months he had been in Turkey, and had conversed with persons of influence connected with or well ac quainted with the paincipalities, and he was convinced that the opinions he bad formed were correct, and that what he bad stated to them would come to pass. They were aware that a new frontier was to be given to Mol davia on the Russian side. The frontier line was settled by Austria, and included above a third of the province of Bessarabia. We could, and ought he believed, to have demanded more ; we ought to have retained the old Beesarabian frontier to the Dnie-ter, which furnished a good military and weltelefin.-d line. The Russians ac• cepted the frontieras proposed by Austria, which included much valuable land, several places of importance, and would have been an important acquisition to Moldavia. But what happened ? At the conferences in Paris the Russians pretended that the proposed frontier could not be carried out, and they produced a map, which there was every reason to believe contained a wrong delineation of the o )untry. They proposed that we should give up nearly two-thirds of that which we had already agreed to cede, and adopt a frontier line suggested by themselves. We had actually accepted those terms. The new frontier line included no valuable territory, and it was so drawn across the marshes formed at the mouth of the Danube, that access could not be had from one point to the other of the ceded territory, which would be almost u , eleßs to Moldavia. The only acquisition was, that the mouths of the Danube were freed altogether from Russian control ; but she retained still a good military aggressive frontier, and could always intimidate the adjoining principality. (Hear.) With regard to the second point—the navigation of the Danube—that had been undoubtedly secured te Europe, and he was happy to find that English enter prise was already taking advantage of that great opening. That was one of the good results of the war. Again, surely we ought to have done something for the Circas sians. It was a most ungenerous policy, and utterly un worthy of this country, to leave a gallant people, who had for 40 years fought with very powerful enemie4, to their fate. (Cheers.) There was no country in which British enterprise and capital would find a greater outlet than in Turkey, and which would make greater returns to us, and therefore it was essential that we should maintain the very best relations with the Turks. But he regret ted to find that our policy towards them was only calcu- The motion was seconded by Mr. Gibbs, and after a few words from Mr. IL Watson, was carried by accla mation, and Mr. Layard, ace unpaniecl by some of his political supporters, retired from the hall. lated to separate us from - Turkey and to throw her into the arms of France. One of the first results had been the introduction of the French system of government and centralisation into Turkey, which was utterly op posed to the liberty of a people. After explaining in some detail the reasons that led to his recent financial mission to Constantinople, Mr. Layard proceeded to state that already Russia had commenced violating the treaty signed in Paris by destroying the forts of Kars, Ismail, and Reni, which she was bound to give up to the Turks. He also commented upon their cruel treatment of the Tartars in revenge for the assistance they gave us during the war, and ridiculed, as a thing for which there was no precedent in history, the belief now so generally entertained, even by such statesmen as Lord J. Rir osll and others, that Russia would now suddenly abandon her whole traditional policy and apply herself to the con struction of railroads and the like. Passing on to the con sideration of the Anglo-French alliance, he said our pre sent position as regarded France was utterly unworthy of this country. No man was more anxious tban he for a French alliance formed on an equal basis, but he would never consent to that alliance if the condition was a sa crifice of the interest or the honour of England. (Cheers.) Our position at this moment with regard to France was exceedingly dangerous, and unless we took care it would lea tus into great difficulty. (Hear.) He admired the Emperor of the French as much as any man, but he could not sympathise with the form of government he had in troduced. Adverting to the unhappy social and politi cal condition of Italy, he (Mr. Layard) said no man in his senses would deny the existing state of things there, ex cept a few who were under the lamentable domination of priestcraft, which appeared to destroy the mora l sense I that enabled men to distinguish between right and wrong. Mr. Layard then pointed out in some detail the reforms required in our military and administrative sys tems, to which, now the war was over, he hoped the country would apply itself ; and criticised, by anticipa tion, the forthcoming report of the Crimean Board of In quiry, which, he said, would w hit ewas h every b o d y w h o had been accused, and leave them in the enjoyment of their rank and promotion, while the only persons that would suffer would be Col. Tulloch and Sir J. M`Neil, the commissioners sent to the Crimea, who had been left unsupported by those whose interests they had made every sacrifice to defend. He looked upon the Government of this country as a pure monopoly in the hands of a family party ; but for that the people themselves were alone to blame, in not taking the bull by the horns and insist ing upon a change. In the military service men had been taught that, unless they bad connexions and means by which they could bring their merits before head-quar ters, they could alone seek for justice through the pub lic press. Hence men of every grade in the army wrote to the Times and other newspapers, instead of applying •to those who should be their protectors ; and it would be found that in almost every case where promotion had been given to such as gained it by merit alone it had been obtained through the aid of the public press. He would say all honour to the Times for having come forward and supported those who deserved well of their country. The people could never be too grateful to that journal for all that it did for them duringa great na tional crisis. (Cheers.) The hon. gentleman briefly reviewed the appointment of the Duke of Cambridge to the chief command of the army—on whom he passed a • high eulogium, from which appointment he looked earnestly for an entire reform of our military 03rstem.

The commission for holding the assizes for the county of Devon was opened in this city yesterday afternoon. NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron MARTIN and a Special fury.) COOPER V. TRADER. Mr. Collier and Mr. Coleridge were counsel for the plain tiff, and Mr. Sergeant Kinglake and Mr. Karslake for the defendant. This was an action brought to recover damages for a breach of promise of marriage. The defendant paid 60/. into court. The plaintiff was the daughter of a tradesman at Ply mouth, and the defendant was the master of a trading vessel. Several letters were put in on behalf of the plain tiff, not only to prove the promise —which was virtually admitted—but to show the terms upon which the parties corresponded. We give some of them for the amusement of parsons who are fond of this species of literature. "Friday morning. On board. "Mv dearest Mary, —Astley is on board ; no treat for him, poor fellow, for the ship is in a horrid state. I received this morning your dear note, and I sent him on deck. While I write this, am truly concerned about your being so miserable ; how I wish we were married now, but cheer up, my dearest girl; go home, or rather anything than be miserable ; what you cannot cure I am sure you will en dure for my sake ; but I care not for Plymouth, or for Plymouth folks, or Marian's married friends, or any one else when the happiness of my dear Mary is concerned. Are we going to be miserable for the sake of what they think? Will they always think for us; or, if they did, what would that profit us ? Write me your inmost thoughts in return of post, my darling, and let me con sider. Does our love grow, Polly, aye ? I wish we were married ; but cheer, girl, cheer. I have managed to do away with kissing Miss Walton, at night , now, and have told the younger brother, Mr. William,: of our engage• ment. He is extremely pleased ; and I cannot writ, more, my darling, for want of time. If quits possible, we might be married in eight months and a half from this date. Cheer, girl, cheer; and write, girl, write, and maintain your womanly rights. Loving your parents —we all have weakness. Concluding " Believe me, darling, your own affectionate, loving, " GEORGE. "Constitution, Dec. 20, 1555." " I shall be nothing out of pocket by this affair. My 251. per month is going on since the day before the co a ch accident. Still I want to get back to you, and for you I took a look at your dear portrait this morning, and I do assure you, Polly dear, you look as jolly as ever; but still not so good in the pictu re a s you rea ll y are. Yon must please write very often. Please let your worthy self ba well taken care of this changeable weather, to oblige, dearest Mary, your affectionate George, who, in baying you to write to, with your affectionate heart, finds half his troubles removed. I now conclule, with kindest lo ve, believe, "Dearest, as ever, your own, " GEORGE." "My dear Girl,—lt's an age since I wrote to you, but I know you don't blame me, but rather pity me, knowing what pleasure it is to do so. You naughty kitten, to say you won't take up my valuable time reading yours. Hoping you are well, believe me, with kindest love, your ever affectionate " GEORGE." " Dearest Mary,—My darling, how much my love has increased for you since your first note you can't imagine. There is now at times such a thrill passes through me at times when thinking of you that I am sure can only be caused by pure love, and I have never felt it before , although you become, as I have done befo r e, wh a t th e world calls courting; but that, dear, is too cold a name wherewith to express the growth of my love towards you. I very much wish you wilt take to liking Dissenters. And now, may that God above protect you, guide you, and spiritually instruct you, is the sincere prayer of, dearest Mary, with kindest love, your ever-affectionate " GEORGE." "Dearest Mary,—The only real pleasure I - 11a;;IS in reading your dear notes after all the world's asleep. My dearest girl, I am every evening in gay circles midst beauty and accomplishment of varied s h a p es and forms, but your dear image dwells with me, and to think of you and that you love me is my greatest treat." After very many letters the defendant wrote to the plain tiff to say he was sure they should not be happy. Mr. Sergeant Kinglake addressed the jury in mitigation of damages. The jury retired for some time, and then returned a ver dict for the plaintiff—damages 200/., including the 601. paid into court. had even kissed her and put their arms round her waist ; but she said that was several years ago.

Hulme, house surgeon of the Leeds House of Recostry, took a warm bath, and as he remained in the bath longer than usual the attendant went to him, and was shocked to find him a corpse. He lay in the bath with his arms across his breast, perfectly composed ; and it is supposed that he had been seized with a & to which he was subject, we understand—and thus lost his life. Mr. Hulme was a young man of much profes• bional ability.—Leeds Mercury, DOLLING V. BAKER. Mr. Smith and Mr. Cox were counsel for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Collier and Mr. H. T. Cole for the defendant. This was an action for breach of promise of marriage. The defendant denied making the promise. The plaintiff was a young girl of 17, the daughter of a day labourer at Exeter, and the defendant. was a small farmer in the neighbourhood. The mother was called to prove the promise. The plain tiff had been a servant to the defendant's mother, and upon her leaving all the parties met at the Ship and at the White Hart public-houses. They frequently went there. There were a great many people there—sometimes soldiers and some girls. Her other daughter was there. She was sorry to say that other daughter was gay. Upon one occasion her daughter (the plaintiff) received a letter, and she be came very ill. The mother then went to the defendant at the White Hart, and spoke to him. He said it was not broken off, but only postponed, and they would be married next week. m a kg . am pan ed the mother to the plaintiff, who was in bed,' and they made it up. He was going to give her a bonnet; she wished to have a white one, but he preferred a pink one, because he was in ;noun:ling. The defendant gave her 101. to 1 ig herself out for the marriage. Tho father of the plaintiff was called, and he stated that his daughter was very miserable after receiving a note, and he went to the defendant, who said it should be all right. He went to the Ship public-house. There was dancing going on, and fiddling ; his daughter " Nell" (the gay one) danced, but not Ann, the plaintiff. Other persons were called, who swore they heard the defendant say ho intended to make the plaintiff his wife. It was when they were at these public-houses. Upon one occasion the defendant said to the plaintiff, " I have de ceived Mary Ann, but if I deceive you may my right hand chop from my body. I will have the wedding dinner at the Ship." He said he should be married by licence at St. Mary Major's Church, as money did not matter. Some times " Nell" was at the ship every night in the week, but Anu did not go there without her parents, who came there two or three nights a-week to have some beer. , The defendant's chattel property had been valued at about 1.500/.; he was about 36 years of age. Mr. Collier, in addressing the jury for the defendant, observed that they had heard from his friend two long speeches, the one being a reiteration of the first. A smaller case of breach of promise he had never hoard. He could nut call the uefend mt, who would have altered the features of the case. A match more unsuitable could not be ima gined. Let them consider the family of the girl—the pa rents, the gay girl, and the plaintiff spending almost every evening at the ship public-house, sitting in the same room with persons who were admitted to be prostitutes. What a marriage of misery this would have been. The defendant seemed to have sat between Ann and Nell, and in his cups, no doubt, thought—" How happy could I be with either." Every one must be glad this young foolish man hed es caped. This was one of the scrapes into which a man got by frequenting such places and indulging in drink ; but he submitted to them it was not a case f or damages. Mr. Baron Martin summed up. Even if a man chose to promise a prostitute to marry her, knowing what she was, he was bound to pay damages if he broke that promise. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, 501. NORTHERN CHICIIIT.—DuRnam, JULY 23. The commission was opened yesterday by Mr. Justine Willes, who afterwards attended Divine service in the Cathedral. (Civil Court.—Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.) SIIITH V. MOODY AND THREE OTHERS. The Hon. A. Liddell appeared for the plaintiff; the de fendant conducted his own case. The action was for the seduction of the plaintiff's daughter. The plaintiff is a mariner and also keeps an inn at Sun derland. When at sea his wife and three daughters at tend to the inn. Emma, the daughter seduced, was at the time not more than 15 years old. The defendant is a shipwright, and, having contracted a friendship with a son of the plaintiff, used to frequent the house, and would occasionally exhibit his drawings, having some taste in that way. About May, 1855, he induced the girl to ac company him in his walks on the sea banks, in the course of one of which he offeoted her ruin, having induced her to consent by a promise of marriage. In September he deserted her, being attracted, it was supposed, by another young woman, In January the girl was delivered of a child. Her mother charged the defendant, who did not deny it, with being the father. A sovereign, supposed to be from the defendant, was sent anonymously to the mother. The girl became very ill, and unable to suckle the child, which died on the 4th of March. She still is in bad health. The defendant refused to make any compen sation, saying he had done enough. Emma Wilkinson, the daughter, was called by the learned 'counsel, and gave evidence of the facts stated. She appeared two or three years younger than her real age, which she said was 16 last March. Other members of her family were called to speak to the conduct of the defendant. He made no defence, and, after a short summing up by the learned Judge, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 251. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.-DERBY, JULY 24. The commission for this county was opened yesterday afternoon, and business ccmtuenced in both courts this morning at 10. Tho cause list contains an entry of five causes only, and the calendar contains ate names of 23 prisoners, but the offences charged are not of a serious kind. (Civil Side.—Before the Chief Justice Jervis and a COUI• mon Jury. TEMPEST V. AULT. This was an action of seduction. Mr. Sergeant Hayes and Mr. Boden appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Mellor, Q.C., and Mr. Brewer for the de fendant. The plaintiff and the defendant are both farmers, living in tht neighbourhood of Derby; and for several years a courtship had been carried on between the plaintiff's daughter and the defendant, both of whom are about 23 years of age. According to the statement of the young woman, the defendant had repeatedly promised to marry her, and when she was visiting at his house h a d s h own h er articles of furniture which he said he had bought for her. The intimacy between them had, however, become too familiar, and the consequence was that Phe had been de livered of a child, the paternity of which she imputed to the defendant. She stated that when he first made im proper overtures to her she said to him that she should be a foolish girl to let him to do as he pleased with her, and that be replied that both his sisters had allowed it before they were married, and that they were all right now. Yielding to these persuasions sho v consented; and after wards the defendant had refused to marry her, and had even expressed some doubt whether the child was his. Upon cross-examination, the young lady admitted that leyeral other young tun had paid attentions to her, and THE CRIMEAN COMMISSION. (From the Times of this day.) We publish to-day the report of the Board of Inquiry which sat at Chelsea Hospital. This extraordinary docu ment fully realises the worst anticipations of those who saw in the whole proceeding merely a plan for screening men whose conduct had been animadverted on by the army, the public, and. finally, by Government Commis sioners despatched for the purpose to the seat of war. The Chelsea generals acquit everybody, fully and unreservedly — l -nay, they not only acquit, but applaud. There is no half-work, no admission that the novelty of the situation or the difficulties of the campaign may have induced in some cases errors of judgment that ought to be excused. Each of the implicated officers is declared perfectly blame less, the judgment of the Commissioners is reversed on every point, and it is only grudgingly allowed that they were not actuated by malici@us feelings. Now, if it were likely that the nation would attach the least importance to the verdict here given', it might be contested by argument, -by the recital of facts which every one knows, and conclu sions from which fevr:would be likely to dissent. But the matter is not worth reopening. The result of the inquiry. is precisely what we anticipated and stated openly from the first. Consider the history of these events, extending over a period of more than two years. England resolves on send ing an army to the East it has a force which, in propor tion to its numbers,. is by far the most expensive in Europe, officered chiefly by men of means and family, and under the exclusive control of a small professional clique. What did the public—what did even Parliament know about its organisation ? What interference was there in the distribution, the patronage. the discipline, the equipment? The Court and the authorities of the Horse Guards were entrusted with the absolute management of every de tail. The nation bestowed entire confidence on them dur ing 40 years of peace. When war came, the question was asked, "Is our army ready for it ?" " Yes," was the unhesitating answer of the aristrocratic military clique. The army was pronounced by Peninsular veterans to be capable of any services that might be demanded of it, its organisation was that by which it had won great victories in a former war, it had during more than a generation been governed by men who had received peerages, orders, and pensions on the ground of their achievements, who knew what actual war was ;—how, then, should it not be able, as the phrase went, to "go anywhere and do any thing ?" Of the talk which we have heard since about parsimony having destroyed its efficacy, about " the system" containing the certain seeds of failure, there was then not a word. Parliament was sitting, and sat till long after the armies were on the Bosphormi and in Bul garia, —until the transports were actually assembling for an invasion of the Crimea. Why, then, were these mili tary critics silent ? The conclusion is evident,—that the authorities to whom the British nation had trustingly committed the management of its army, both in principle and detail, were ignorant of the exigencies of modern war fare—that a generation of officers had come into existence who were unable to foresee the necessary result of their own organisation, and knew not that the British army must, from the first day of a campaign, move steadily and swiftly to destruction. The appointments to the chief commands were never questioned, simply because the country knew nothing of the subject. Who chose the generals, why they were chosen, on what conditions they were appointed, and with what instructions they were sent to their posts, we are not likely to learn. Their names show how far they were or were not connected with the ruling clique,—the men who had created the very " system" which is now the universal scapegoat. Lord Raglan, Lord Do Ros, Lord Lucan, Lord Cardigan, Sir Richard Airey, Colonel the Honourable Alexander Gordon were among the chief persons to whom were committed the destinies of England in a perilous enterprise. At least it might be thought that these officers knew the British army and each other. The want of a common understanding, and of fellow feeling could hardly he predicated of men in the same rank of life, brought up in the traditions of the same military school, and the same belief in its perfection and their own. At any rate, it might be thought they would work together, help each other, forget when the time came any private jealousies, any routine pedantry about the separation of their " departments ;" further it might be expected that the last defence that each would make for any shortcomings would be one that necessarily throws the blame on those with whom he served. The hour of active service comes, and with it the cala mities of the British army. Now, were those calamities real or fictitious? Did the men die from want of fresh food, for want of proper tents, hutting, blankets, and cloth ing ? Were the horses starved with hunger and cold ? In other words, were the facts dwelt upon in the communi cations of newspaper correspondents, in the thousands of letters from officers and soldiers to their friends at home, and after wards officially confirmed by the report of Sir John M'Neil and Colonel Tulloch, true or fabulous? If they were true—if men and horses perished miserably—if the British army would have been ruined but for the reve lations of the press—if, as it is, the British name has suffered much throughout the world, then there must bo somebody to blame. These are the facts. Disasters took place, for which the superior officers of the army must be held responsiole. The Crimean Commissioners implicated certain of those officers. The Chelsea Commissioners ac quit them fully and triumphantly. But the disasters re main unaccounted for. Did they produce themselves ? Did the men die of mere perversity ? If not, then there must be blame somewhere. The Chelsea Commissioners prudently refrain from solving the question. The fact is that the whole inquiry was a farce, — a scandalous one indeed, and likely to have serious conse quences-hereafter, but, as far as regarded Lord Lucan and Cardigan, Sir R. Airey and Col. Gordon, a mere mockery. No one ever heard of au analogous proceeding in civil practice. Here were sufferings " horrible and heartrend ing," which could not be denied. Government had sent Commissioners to inquire into them. The Commissioners made their report, which might be considered to represent the verdict of a Grand Jury or of a Coroner's Inquest. The implicated officers were in the position of men charged with an offence, and Government was bound either to pro secute or to declare that there was no reason for prosecut ing. Instead of this a Board is appointed, before which the officers are allowed "to make a statement." That is, the defendant is to be tried without any evidence for the prosecution being brought forward. In the case of Sir R. Airey, Col. Gordon, and Mr. Filder, Colonel Tulloch was not even present to watch the case on behalf of Sir J. M'Neil and himself, who were virtually put on their trial. Every one knew what must be the result. The court scarcely concealed its partiality. The implicated officers and their friends were allowed to use a tone and manner towards Col. Tulloch which would have called down the severest reprobation of aiy judge in a court of common law. Every witness knew that if he served those whom the military authorities were determined to uphold he might expect no small reward ; on the other hand, that it would be a black day for him if he proved unfaithful to the common cause. Even a man who has served his course try and gained its esteem felt it not inconsistent with his dignity to come forward and in a pompous harangue be spatter with ridiculous praise the authors of a miserable calamity. Now we have the result. After two mon,ths the report appears. The Board is satisfied that Lot d Lucan " exercised every exertion to meet the peculiar difficulties which he had to contend with, and that he is therefore not chargeable with neglect in the performance of the important duties attached to his com mand." Lord Cardigan is similarly acquitted. Sir R. Airey, and, as the greater includes the less, Colonel Gor don also, are fully exonerated. Although the latter has told us that he fully agreed with the statements in this journal about the mismanagement that prevailed, the Board acquits the department in spite of itself. If warm clothing was not issued, Sir R. Airey and his subordinate are blameless, because the " responsibility of that officer must be understood to be limited to the duty of making requisitions for certain stores, and not to their safe cus tody, stowage, or even issue." If rugs were not issued, though in store, it was because they were useless for the keeping out of wet and cold, though it does not appear why rugs of this quality should be found in the stores of the richest army in the world. If the greatcoats were not issued, it was because they were too small for the men who wore under-clothing ; if the shoes were not issued, it was because they were totally unfit for the purposes of a cam paign. If there were no tents, yet Sir R. Airey had, two months after landing in the Crimea, written home a re quisition for them. Tho paillasses were not issued, be cause there was no hay or straw to stuff them with. With regard to huts, "the Quartermaster-General's Department completely fulfilled its duty by ordering huts at an early period from Constantinople—namely, Bth November, 1854 ;" that is, sending down to some overworked com missaries directions to procure wood, nails, hinges, tools, and carpenters, in quantities that the Mediterranean would not have supplied in less than three or four months. It is of no use to go on. One phrase is continually re peated—" the responsibility of the Quartermaster-Gene ral's Department was confined to making a requisition" for such and such a thing. The upshot is, that the department is " completely relieved " from all blame. Such is the result of the Chelsea Commission. The shameful history of these transactions is fitly concluded by a document which pronounces that each offi cer is justified in confining himself to the most bare per formance of his ordinary duties. How far the duty of originating measures rests on the Commander-in-Chief must be decided by coianion sense. The general idea of such a person is as riding the whirlwind and directing the storm ; we must confess, however, that we see no traces of such en activity in the British Crimean army. It is sin gular enough that in the whole of these investigations the name of Lord Raglan hardly once appears. The heads of departments are "making requisitions" on each other, the Generale are quarrelling, while cold and starvation are doing their work on the unhappy army, and we now have it, ou the authority of a Board of Generals, that these officers are completely exonerated. They will receive the congratulations of their own set, they will keep their rank, and orders, and pay, and whatever else they may value. On the esteem or confidence of the public we know they set little store, and it is fortunate for them, for they will never receive it. The conclusions to which men of under standing have come are not to be altered by the partisan verdict of such a tribunal as sat at Chelsea. The lesson remains. We see what notion officers of the dominant school take of their awn duties, and what confidence may be placed on their predictions before war and their subse quent judgment on its events. If the Chelseainquiry convinces the nation that there is no hope of improvement but in thorough reform, it will not have been held in vain.

I V BITT WESTMINSTER BRIDGE. The following is'a copy of the report which was presented to the House on Wednesday last, the 23d inst. : "That in 1853 an act was passed, entitled, An Act to transfer Westminster-bridge ' and the estates of the Commissioners of her Majesty's Works and Public Buildings, and to enable such last-mentioned commis sioners to remove the present bridge and to build a new bridge on or near the site thereof. Under the provisions of that act the corporation of the Commissioners of Westminster-bridge' was dissolved. "The Commissioners of Works were incorporated for the purposes of that act. " The property of the old corporation was vested in the Commissioners of Works, with power to apply the same under the provisions of the act. "That no funds beyond those so transferred have been provided by the said act or otherwise. The said commissioners were also authorised to build a bridge and make approaches thereto according to a plan re ferred to as the amended plan. "That a plan is deposited in the library of the House of Commons, signed by Sir William Molesworth, Sir Charles Barry, and Mr. Page, but it is not accompanied with any detailed plans c,r drawings, showing the man ner of constructing the piers or the work generally. "The bill was referred to a select committee, and evidence was taken thereon. " The mode of constructing the piere of the bridge was not brought fully to the notice of the committee ; indeed, it would seem not to have been at that time de cided on "After hearing evidence the committee decided, by the casting vote of the chairman, that headway under the new br.dge should not exceed 20 feet ; 26 feet being Vie I e'ght under tie lowest of the other metropolitan bridges. decision was affirmed by a small majority upon a division in a thin house. "Teat, by the direction of the Commissioners of Works, a plan (deviating in some points not material from the amended plan) and specifications were prepared by Mr. Page. "It does not appear that the plan so prepared, and proposed mode of construction, although novel, was sub mitted to any other professional opinion. "Several of the principal firms in the building and iron trades were invited to tender for the execution of the work, according to the said plan and specification. Only three of these firms sent in tenders. "That a contract was entered into with Messrs. Mare and Co. to execute the works at the end of April, 1854, and they were commenced shortly after. " That in September, 1855, the contractors, Messrs. Mare. became bankrupt. " That the work was carried on by the assignees until the end of March, 185 G, when it was entirely suspended. "A'l the witnesses state the works appears to be very well done. "The present First Commissioner of Works, in conse quence of representation made to him, instructed Messrs. Rendel and Simpson, on the 31st of March last, to inquire and replrt professionally, among other points,— "1. Their opinion of the original scheme, and the exact nature of the scheme. " 2. The desirability of proceeding with it. "The report of those gentlemen is before Parliament. Your committee have examined Messrs. Rendel and Simpson, and also Mr. Stephenson, Mr. Ilawkshay, and Mr. Fowler, all civil engineers. The two gentlemen last named were selected by Mr. Page; who was also examined. _ _ "A written statement has also been put in by Mr. Page, who alio had every opportunity of suggestins such questions as he deemed fit to the wituesies. " Application was made by letteron the part of the city of London to be heard on the subjeet`of the head way under the bridge. The late period of the session determined your committee to confine their inquiry to the pi opos !ti mode of construction of the piers, their sufficiency to bear the weight to be put upon them, and how far such a construction can be considered permanent. "Tee description of the construction of the piers and plats thereof will be found in the report of Messrs. Bendel and Simpson. (Parliamentary Paper No. 318, Session 1856.) "The evidence has satisfied your committee that the prop Lied piers are of strength amply sufficient to bear toe weight proposed to be placed upon them ; that the piers will be secure so long as the iron casting remains sound ; that the iron casting can be replaced whenever it may decay or be destroyed ; that such a mode of eon struction is less permanent an i secure than granite piers, founded deep on the London clay by means of c-trei dams ; but it is less expensive, and can be ca -tied out in a shorter period of time, and causes less obstruction to the navigation of the river. "Toe changes that have taken place in the bed of the riveir aid in the flow and ebbing of the tides of late years ought to have due consideration before determining the mode of construction and the headway under the bridge. "The witnesses examined before your committee dif fered somewhat in opinion as to the amount of any pro bable future change in these respects. "The report of the select committee on public offices, presented to the house during the sitting of this com mittee, contemplating extensive changes in the immediate neighbourhood and approaches to Westminster-bridge, has been brought to the notice of your committee. "Your committee are of opinion that, subject to the consideration of responsible professional advice to be ob tained by the First Commissioner of Werke, as to the securty of the old bridge, the further progress of the works of the new Westminster-bridge should remain sus remded until the Government have had an opportunity of consideringauddeciding on theadvice tobe offeredtoParlia mou t upon this last subject,when the site of the new bridge might be reconsidered in coat e:t on with any general plan of alteration and improvement of the neighbourhood as well as the all-important subject of the headway under the new bridge. "Your committee, finding that upwards of 50,000/. having been already expended, subject to the foregoing remarks, subject also to some of the modifications and alterations suggested by the witnesses, are of opinion that the plan proposed might have been carried out." ARCHDEACON DENISON'S CASE.—Yesterday morning the court of his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury re. assembled at the Guildba.ll, Bath. Dr. Bayfor3 said that on the l a t of the Rev. Joseph Ditcher, Vie Vicar of South Brent, the promoter of those proceedings, he must then address the court upon the true subject-matter at issue, and upon which his grace vas so pre-eminently qualified to decide. The learned advocate proceeded to quote largely from the sermons of the archdeacon, and contended that the sacrament could only be given after a heavenly and spiritual manner, and that the body and blood of Christ could only be received in the Fame manner, id est, by faith. Having cited Jewell, Nowell, Hooker, the articles of the Rubric, the Catechism, and the Foonulsries of Church of England, he mainta as that all those were directly antagonistic to the doctrines bele, by the archdeacon. The court then adjourned, Dr. Phillimore having intimated that his speech fur the de fence would occupy at least three or four days. Consr DEFENCES. —We are glad to announce that Government has come to a definite resolution of esta- • blishing lines of defences along the north-east coast of Scotland in the first place, and prospectively on that of the Vest. On Saturday, Col. Moodie, of the Royal Engineers, proceeded north to Kirkwall, accompanied by two assistants, with the view of selecting a site fur the erection of a battery there. During the time the steamer lay in our bay, Col. Moodie landed here, and after examining the locality, left instructions at the Har bour-office that the ground in the immediate neighbour hood of the Pilot's Look-out should not be permanently let, as it was to be chosen as the site of a defence battery. In addition to these facts, we are in a position to state that it is intended by the Government to station a screw ship at Leith, for the service of drilling the Royal Naval Coast Volunteers, along with a few gun-boats ; and that there is every probability that the volunteers of the northern counties will be called out for drill soon after ' the close of the present herring fishing.—Northern En sign.
