The evidence went to prove that, al though the parents and elder children were in good con dition, yet the younger ones were in a frightfully ema ciated state, and it appeared that this must have resulted from the parents having kept them, morning, noon, and night, fixed to the " " and feeding them with gruel for breakfast, gruel for dinner, gruel for supper, with - an occasional modicum r , f bread ; but no air, no exercise, no amusement, no relaxation, nothing but work; until the bodies of the pone things were wasted literally to a skeleton, with a Ain over it.

Notice is hereby given that, pending the rati fication of the Treaty of Peace, an armistice by sea, as well as by land, has been agreed upon be tween Great Britain and her Allies on the one part, and Russia on the other ; and that conse quently orders have been given for immediately raising the Blockade of Russian ports. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—(This Evening.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. The Bishop of EXETER presented a petition against the bill to legali•.e the marriage with a deceased wife's sister. The Earl of HARDWICKE presented a petition in favour of a regular steam postal communication between this country and Australia. THE LATE LORD TRURO'S LIBRARY. The LORD CHANCELLOR wished t , , set himself right upon a question on which it appeared he had com mitted a mistake. It would be in the recollection of their lordships that immediately before the Easter recess, the noble marquis informed the house that a communication haci been received from Lady Truro, and he was deputed to inform the house that her lady-hip had expressed a wish to present the law library of the late L ,rd Truro to their lordships' house. Upon that occasion Lord Lyndhurst passed a well merited eulogium upon the deceased nobleman. He thou4ht• it necessary to add a few words for the pur pose of reminding the house of the great efforts made by Lord Truro in the way of Chancery Reform. He bad been understood, also, to have said that it was Lorl Truro who had actually drawn up those reforms of that court which had been subsequently passed into a law. It appeared that he was not quite correct in this observation, and he now begged to say that he would be the last roan in the world to detract from the merits of the noble and learned lord near him (Lord St. Leonards), who was really the authur of those bills.

I have a difficulty in recollecting the precise words Lord Lucan made use of, in consequence of my suggesting to him his making provision for providing some covering for the horses. It was then he said, "You think I have not thought of that my self. I have a good mind to put you under arrest. His lordship used warm words that might have brought forth warm words in reply. The finish of the conversa tion was that said to him, "I have only spoken as one gentleman would to another, and you have no right to use there words to me." That was all I said. Your lordship then ordered me to join my regiment, and I replied I was the field officer of the day, and then you told ins to join my picquet. I don't profess to recollect he precise words that were then used, but I have no doubt there are those who do, Lord Lucan—What were those harsh words of mine Colonel Griffiths—l have said I can't remember. I know you used very strong language, and that you be came very excited. Maj 'r Connelly was the first I spoke to on the subject. Perhaps he can recollect what I said to him.

Lord Lucan, who appeared in an excited state before proceeding with his case, said he considered it due, not only to himself, but to the other gallant officers who would find themselves in a similar position, to call the attention of the Board to an article published this morn ing the Times newspaper. The paper had been put into his hand since leaving home, and be had not had time to read it thoroughly, but he had read sufficient to enable him to say that a more improper article in itself, from its injustice, from the manner in which it had allowed itself to comment upon all that transpired yesterday, upon the manner in which it had allowed itself to scan and sift the evidence of the different witnesses, and to compare what bad transpired yesterday, and that already pub lished in the report to which Lin objected, and the alle gations he was endeavouring to rebut, for the manner in which it bad brought forward the evidence of those par suns he proposed to examine, the Times had had the audacity to bring it form trd as et Lblisbetl evidence to meet that which he had brought forward, and he did not hesitate to state that a more disgracsful article ha 1 never appeared in any paper before. If the paper pretended to be the leader of public opinion its England, he was satisfied there was not an Englishman who would not feel ashamed of writing such an article. Having sail that he called the attention of the Board to it, and asked them to interfere if they could, and prevent the repetition of sulh pending the inquiry. - - The Board having conferred together, Mr. PIGOTT presented petitions from Reading against the endowment of the College of 'Mavnooth, and against the bill for abrogating the oath of abjuration. Mr. LOWE presented a petition from Liverpool in favour of limited liability, uith certain restrictions. Colonel Griffiths—l told the officers of my own -regi meet immediately after the interview erery word I said. I have not cominuoicated with them since respecting it. I did not say one war t• mere before tlia.commissionere thau•was extracted from me by the questions they put to me. The evidence I gave then was in self-defence, to show that I had not neglected the interest of my own regiment. Lor Lucan—Did you make any official complaint to your Brigadier I Col. Griffiths—No ; I made none to any one. Lord Luc•in—liarl you not 95 men at this time sick —present and absent ? Colonel Griffiths—l dare say I had. I can't say if I hal or had not. Lord Lucan—Do you not knave that when the cavalry first changed their camps that it was proposed as soon as materials could be got, and the assistance of some Tueis, to move the permanent camp about a quarter of a mile more to the seuth ? Col. Griffiths—As far as 1C remember I don t recollect anything about it. I think there was an order some day or tem before leaving the heights of Balaklava, but more than that I don't remember. Lord Lucan—llid you then believe that the cavalry were to remain there where they were during the winter? Col. Gtiffiths—No, I did not expect it because we had had so many changes, and that was the reason why I spoke to you respecting sheltering the horses. I think we had moved some 20 times and more from our landing to that t'me. Lord Lucan—What sort of covering for the horses would you have prepared at the time to which yea refer ? The Assistant-Jujge-Advocate said that it was a mat ter requiring consideration, and that the thard would deliberate on it and give him their answer in the aft?r part of the day. Lord Luca,n said that he would submit to the Board the course he intended to purme. He should proceed with the examinatio❑ of Gdonel Griffiths, and after that with the examination of Sir R. Aireyovhen he should submit himself for examination. Having done that, he should ask the Board to give him a short time to pre pare his reply on his case. The Assistant-Judge-Advocate, after conferring with the Board, said they would give an answer to the noble lord at a subsequent period of the day. The Assistant-Judge-Advocate handed to his lordship a written paper, on which Lord Lucin said he undersood the Court to ask him whether he could produce Lord Raglan's order for the cavalry's being employed on tran.port duties, and what it amounted to. He said he thought he Could. His own letter acknowledged the receipt of it, and it in formed Lord Raglan how he intended to carry out his lordship's orders. He received from Sir R. Airey, the Quartermaster-General, a letter dated 12th of December, 1854, in which he stated that as the cavalry horses were not occupied in field operations, Lord Raglan had di rected that 500 horses should be employed in conveying provisions for the infantry to the heights. General Peel—What was the duty of the horses C.d. Griffiths—l would have dug only a half foot drain in the front and rear of the horses. That of itself would have kept them from being covered with mud and water as they were ; and as I proved afterwards in the encampment at Kadikoi. When the horses laid down they were covered with water and mud, and the conse quence was that with the sudden change of the weather, a frost coining, on the horse, if laid down all night or i n the day, were so paralyzed with the frost, and so frozen, that he could not rise—his spine being paralyzed with the frost, and we lost many of them. The Turks made a few very fine htit-T. Lord Lucan —(To the Court)—ls this evidence ? Colonel Griffiths—l -am only explaining. The Turks who were close to ua at this time built a large number of huts which General Searlett purchased for his men at 30/. cacti. Lord Lucan—(To the Court)—What has this, to de with 4? Colonel Griffiths —I am only exp!aining what I think I have a right to do. At this time several of the captains of the ships in Balaklava harbour asked why applicaation was not made to them for tarpaulins and sails with which to cover the horses and for the men to be employed in erecting temporary shelter, but I laughed at the time, thinking it badapage. However, I found after that some of the artillery availed, themselves of it and had shelter. I would have given shelter by drawing round the horses and turning up mud walls to the hor;ies knees, which would have kept their legs dry and benefitted them. , If the horses had been - protected only as high as the etomacti they must have been benefitted. Lord Lucan—Was it your business or that of the avisiotial Commander to drain a camp? Colonel Griffiths—l should not think it your business nor mine, but the engineers. Genet al Peel—Was it necessary for you to obtain per mission for doin g the trilling work you allude to, t o shelter the horses? • Colonel Griffiths—l have already explained that we changed often, and it was in consequence of that, And having so many sick men, that I did not feel justi fied in calling upon my men to do work to-day that, by our being moved to-morrow, would have been useless. General Peel—Did you make a communication to that di( of to Lord Lucan ? Col. Griffiths—Yes, I did. Lord Lucan--Tell the Court whether I had anything to do with mot lag the cavalry ? Col. Griffiths—l can't answer that question. You gave the orders for it to move. Lord Lucan—At what date did the Captains of trans ports offer canvass, and to whom was the offer made ? Col. Griffiths—l don't know. It was the talk of the. camp. Tae time my friends spoke to me about it I can't recollect. Lord Lucan—Did you shelter your own horses, at any time, on the hill with canvass ? Col. Griffiths—No. Lord Lucan—Your own private horses? Col. Griffiths—No. Because it was no use going to the expense, not knowing how many hours I might re main in one place, otherwise I might have done it. Lord Beauchamp—Did the movements of the Cavalry camp rest with Lord Lucan ? Col Griffiths.—He was the only authority from whom I received my orders to move. Sir W. Rowan—Do you mean to say positively that Lord Lucan threatened to place you under arrest for making that suggestion relative to the horses ? Col. Griffiths—Yes ; I believe so. That was my im pression at the time, and is so now. The witness then retired. Lord Lucan called Sir Richard Airey as his text wit ness. Lord Lucan—Were you personally exanuned by the Crimean Commissioners? - Sir R. Airey—No ; never. - Lord Lucan—lnform the board if you recollect the morning of the Bth, when I was in conversation with Lord Raglan. Sir R. Airey—l can't recollect any particular - date. Your lordship was in constant communication with Lord Raglan with reference to your shelteting your horses. Lord Lucan—Did I not on that occasion ask for in structions about the winter 4:pluterv, end did. L. ad Lord Lucan—The horses were divided into different parties. They had to leave the camp about 8 o'clock in the morning and go to B►laklava, a dragoon leading each baggage-horse with their own saddles of the regi ment, because there were no pack saddles to be had. After that they proceeded to each division of the camp with provisions. General Peel— What weight did each horse carry ? Lord Lucan—As there were no pack-saddles he in formed Lord Raglan they could not carry more than one hundred weight. Had there been pack-saddles each horse could have carried 2 cwt. The way the tairsce were worked was pet feet destruction to thatn. They were in a bad condition, and their ribs were greatly ex posed, so that they were in much greater !danger than horses in good condition. General Peel—ln your letter you allude to the double forage. What was the forage duty of the horses? L';rd Lucan said that what was meant by double forage duty w•as, that the light dragoon horses had to carry both for themselves and others. They had to make double journeys. • Colonel Griffiths was then called and examined by Lord Lucan—He sai I he was unable to state the day or month when he wa-, examined by the admaan Commis sioners, Sir J. M'Neil and Colonel Tulloch. The day na which he was the field-officer for .the day, on the 16th, two days after the storming Sebastopol, be went to Lord Lucan to ask his order for the picquet. It WAS not ready. Lord Lucan then referred to a coat ,be had on. In the cowrie of the conversation be said, "My Lord, I fear that if something is not done immediately for my horses, they will suffer considerably, and I shall lose the greater part of them," having already lost a considerable comber. You replied, "130 you think I have not thought of that already. I have a great mind to put you under arrest." My impres-ion, at the time, was, and is still, that the threat to put me under arrest was for making that suggestion to you. There might have been warm expressions used by me towards your lord ship, but I did not use them before your lordship had used harsh words to me that called them forth. Lord Lucan said the witness was not giving a full an swer. He was not informing the Court of all that passed. Col. Griffiths—l am convinced of thif. I nor any man would amk a favour of a person in a disrespectful manner. I certainly should not do so. Lord Lucan submitted that was not a full and pro- per answer to the question, and it would be necessary for him to examine Col. Griffiths further. Lord Lucan—You recollect the storm of the 14th November ? Col. Griffiths— Yes. Lord Lu can—What ground did your regiment occupy? Col. Griffiths—The lowest of all. Lord Lucan—Was that the first encampment ? . _ . Colonel Griffiths—l can't say. The ground was wet and low ; and as an instance of that I saw a goose on one occasion swimming about there in the water and mud. Lord Lecan—You know perfectly well that On the bill the Heavy Brigade occupied two different grounds of encampment ? Col. Griffiths—The Greys had three encampments. Lord Lacan--I wish to ask you whether, on the 14th Nov., you o c cupi e d the first ground we took up on going up the hill, or whether you had moved ? Col. Griffiths— I am certain it was the first ground. Lord Lu..an—Did you keep a journal during the autumn and winter of 1854 55 ! Col. Griffiths—l male a few memorandums. Lord Lucan—it.re they producable 7 Col. Griffiths—l don't think I could get them. Lord Luc:4n-- , Are they in Etigland ? Col. Griffiths—No, certainly not.

Did you mean to convey that an engineer officer really had been given to me at.the time ? Sit R. Airey—l regret that your lordship did not *give me some insight into the nature of the questions you in tended to put to me, as I could then have given more satisfactory answers to them than I am now able to dr. I am, however, able to answer the question to a earl a'n extent. Lord. Lucau from the_ commencement pressed to .be informed whether_ cavalry would probably be tamped, so that he might at onoe commerce operations for the shelter of his horses, and after that for materials. After the cavalry vfere ordered 'down to ICulikio, Lord Loca.n recommenced his applications for material for sheltering hie horses. This was brought un d er th e notice of Lori Raglan, a nd we WerUall anxious to e-ff-ct that object. After t hat he received a letter from Lord Lucan for the assistance of a : cavalry oflioer. . Colonel Gordon said one caul not be spared, but as soon-as he could. be should be sent to Lard Lncan, but that'theo he could not be solely and.exelusively.at the service of the cavalry. Lord fucan—Then may the Board supphse, frem all that passed within your knowledge on this subject, that there was ao want of promptitude or ingenuity in pro viding phelter for the cavalry horses ! Sir R. Airey—l say, certainly, that every exertion was - made by your lordship in providing for the shelter of the horses.
