In accordance with the resolut ions passed at a General Meeting of Shareholders, held aft he Offices in Paris on Sa turday, the 15th March, 1856, the objects of this Company, which was originally formed for ti to commercial purposes of communication between France an d Ports in the Indian Seas, with clipper-built Sailing Ships, l cave been considerably ex tended and the system of operatic ns materially improved ; it haivng been determined to unite the maritime enterprise of the two greatest mercantile comm unities in Europe—England arra torance—and to substitute ec rew steam clippers, of first rate sailing capacity, with auxin try propeltheg power. The undertaking combines all the elements of success that can be contributed by each COLT: etry. The n ewly-developed commercial requirements of Fraru 3e afford high.profitable em ployment, and the cheap and lung-established constructive skill of England provides the bel st immediftte - means ; whilst the capital, mercantile connect ions, and - nautical genius of both countries are united in a common object of the most important and remunerate cha ratter. ender such encou raging circumstances the Company ha• /0 arranged to com mence operations at once by a. line o f Screw Clippers, of about 2,400 tons average register t onnage, to sail regu larly from Havre to Calcutta, tout' ding at the Ile de la Reunion (Bourbon), and such other intermediate Indian ports as may be selected. It is als• 3 proposed to open a communication, upon an early day wi th the Brazils, and via the Brazils, with the Cape of Good Ho pc,. The sh*ps will call at the port of Southampton, outward • and homeward, to re ceive or land goods. specie, and passer igers, To open these lines without dela. r, a fine fleet of clipper screw steamers, of established reputa Lion, has been purchased from the General Screw Steam-Snippi ng Company, -viz.:— Ja=on. irgo. • Golden Fleece. Kneen of the South. Indiana. Lady Jocelyn. Calcutta. I )13 , daspes. By this important purchase the Ce Impany will be protected from the loss which would necessarily follow from their capi tal lying unproductive while a now • beet was being built and equipped, and be at once prepared i co open their trades with the most faithfully-constructed stea m clippers in existence— possessing the prestige of their pi vvious employment, and the very high character they have s ince, sustained in the tran sport of the British and French Go vernments. A portion of the capital will be open for subscription in England and the Colonies. Each application for shares mus' ;be made in the appended form, accompanied by a payment c if 25f. or 1/. per share on the number required, I- r which a t 'toucher will be given. In the event of less than the whole mu xtber of shares ap lied for being allotted, the number paid in etxcess will be applied to wards the balance of 75f. or 3/. p t r share, then payable. Should no allotment be made to t ho applicant, the rooney thus lodged will be returned, free o f a. barge, within a - w%ect: rom the day of ge nera l a ll o t ment.

On that occa sion the waulb-be leaders who urged on Sir Robert Peel appealed after the division to the fact that Sir Robert had settled the terms of the resolution, and that he urged the party to suppOrt it, in order to make it seem that the thought originated with himself ; but they suppressed all allusion to the fact that he warned the party of the danger they were incurring, and that he prophesied with the greatest accuracy what would, and what actually did, occur. There were in those days wringings of hands at the Car:ton as there are just now—there were curses, not loud but deep, hurled upon the heads of those who originated the false move—there are curses, both loud and deep, at present fulminated against the devoted head of the representative for Enniskillen ; and yet he talks of being envied.' There is not, and, despite his over weening, vanity, he must know it—there is not, I repeat, so unpopular a person at present connected with the Conservative party as the gentleman who bad the folly to boast that a Ministerial majority of 127 did not amount to a Conservative defeat, but, on the confrary, was equivalent to `a moral triumph.' One more such triumph, and 'the fee of life will be eternal' in the Pat nierst.n Administration. " Great goo J, however, arose from the defeat of Sir John Buller: It gave Sir Robert Peel complete control over the party. Even the. backsliders of that day ad. mitted that a premature 'attempt to displace a Govern ment was the . surest way to keep tbeifi in office. Whether or no Mr. Whiteside will learn prudence from the lessoh so dearly purchased on the night of Thursday, May 1, remains to be seen. " Tne division on Sir John Buller's motion is worth reprinting. On that occasion Ministers voted 303—the Conservativei 232 On Mr. Whiteside a s motion the Government voted precisely the same numbers as on Sir J. Buller's motion—namely, 303, while the Conser vatives could muster only 176 ; and in their ranks could be found 10 Irish Roman Catholic members, thus leav ing the available Conservative force (though by no means its actual numbers) at 166."

At no period of thy acquaintatice with the British army have I ever known the . offieers.tobe ie such a state of pro .found dissetisfactionas they are at present. The indecent haste with which the reductions wore announced, the in justice of the order relating to horses, and the mode in' which the instructions have been conveyed to them, rankle in their hearts. Nothing else is talked of, or appa rently thought of, by all classe s •of oificers.• Thy ink is not dry on the Treaty, the news df its 'ratification 'is not re ceived, and yet the army is at once made the victim of the most pinching, niggardly, cold economy. They are, ns it were, told that' their day is over—that their services are of so little consequen ce th a t th e aut h or iti es can aff or d t o disregard their • feeli ng . If the stnal l e a conceivable por lion of the good wishes uttered for the temporal and eternal happiness of " they" should ever be realised, I caunet well imagine more miserable beings than "they" • will be. 'ln the army it is always " they." " Have you soon_ the gee oral . 'orders ?" " No.. Is there anything in them?" " Yes ; 'they' have m a d e J o nes, and. ' they' are going to send borne the supernumeraries at once," and so on." Some of the r e d uct i ons aro o f co a rse una voidable, but the cases of individual hardship and ingratiteide are not the less striking and p a i n f u l . While t'he struggle was still going on nothing wee too good for the army — the country felt for its Sufferings a n d a dmired its calm enditr " mice. From the. highest to the lowest iu the land there was but one sentiment, undone expression of feeling. The' Government. at first supine and supercilioui, became energetic' and sympathising. One does not know whether the admiration of the countr'for the.army after the Alma and lukerrean, or its effervesceuce of pity, sorrow, and aid when made aware of the condition. of its countrymen, was the stronger or more touching end ,genuine. The country cannot: be in the least degree aware of the in dignation, the, bitter resentment, and the sense of in jury which a few veorda have. car e eed'atiyng-t4l e ese-slee has. praised anJ honoured, The officers of the Line, the Corn inissariat, the Chaplains, the Land Transport Corps, Bre vet-Majors, ex-Staff Officers,—one and all utter the same complaints. Scarcely was the intelligence of peace known before the private soldiers were deprived of their extra Gd. a-day. There was no respite even to the end of the month, or of the week. Then' come the colonels acting as brigadiers, who are sent back to their regiments without a single word to comfort them. There are only three colo nels of regiments out here who have served with their regi ments from the beginning of the war,—namely, Colonel Adams, C. 8., 38th Regiment ; Colonel W. O'Grady Haly, C. 8., 47th Regiment ; and Colonel Waddy, C. 8., 50th Regiment. The first two receive rewards for distinguished services, and all three a re C o m man d ers o f th e B at h. C o l. Adams has been in command of a brigade, but he is now sent back to his regiment. Is it intended to send all the brigadiers back to their regiments in the seine way ! It would appear se, inasmuch as Brigadier Trollope has al ready received orders to rejoin the 62d Regiment as colo nel. The services of some of these officers would seem to merit better treattneat, and even 'a little sNow of regret for the necessity of acting so economically might have re conciled men to the e*ioncios of their position. In the lower grades of the service the action of the reduction has been most unjust. A number of most deserving non-com missioned officers—sergeants major, troop-sargeauts, Stc.— have received commissions as Cornets in the Land Trans port Corps ; they have associated with commissioned offi cers, and have been put to expense in preparing for their rank. These men are to be " degraded" to the ranks. But that is not all. The Vacancies caused by their promotion were filled up by the realer seij ants, who became ser jeau!s-major and troop-:e jeants, &c., and these men are pushed back to the rank they formerly held, aud are de prived of their just promotion. Individual cases of this kind, of which I am aware, are really painful in their details. As to the horse question, it is difficult to say whe ther it is most irritating to the army or injurious to the' public interests. We shall absolutely leave behind us, if the present absurd regulations are persisted in, many thousand mules and horses for the use of the Russians. Why,' in Heaven's name, not rather give them to our old allies, the Turks, most of whose country horses in Bulgaria and the shores of Asia Minor we have bought up, so that the inhabitants are seriously inconve nienced for' want of theni ? The Russians already know our difficulties ; they laughingly tell us that they aro going to mount a few regiments of Cossacks on our horses at 103. a-head, and say they will give a pound fora good hunter. No doubt these animals will be paraded all over Russia as trophies, and will be exhibited as signal evidences of the straits to which the British army was reduced, so that it was obliged to leave its horses behind it ! Now, remember that it was only a few weeks ago the officers of this army were strictly "ordered" to provide themselves forthwith with the regulation nuinber of bat animals, &d., and then the harshness of thie new regulation is the more apparent. The country cannot wish, for the sake of a few thousind pounds, to create discontent in the whole army. The offi cers sey "It is fair enough for them to pay they' won't take our horses, but it is very unfair to say they will give us no compensation." As to Lord Panuenre's assertion respecting the cost of transport being 471. or 671. per ani mal, it has excited the liveliest merriment among the ship owners and captains out here, and the officers who know anything about it. The principal events since my last letter will be found detailed below, but there is very little of incident to re cord. It will be seen by reference to general orders that a considerable number of regiments have received orders —some for Gibraltar, and others for Malta. The French embarkation continues vigorously, an I we have succeeded in getting two regiments away. General Windham has been for some time back at Kertch. Major Staunton, R.E., has left Ealaklava, and it is supposed that he is en gaged on the Russo-Turkish boundlry question. WEDNESDAY. The orders last night inform us that the Russian autho rities have promised to preserve set upulously the burial places of our departed soldiers. The graveyards are now well defined, and they have been decorated with great care by the officers and men, with whom indeed it appears to be a labour of love to raise fitting monuments to their dead comrades. The bodies of the officers of the Guards who fell at Inkerman have been dug up, and were removed some time ago to Cathcart's-hill. The burial-ground of the Light Division, and particularly of the 77th Regiment, is very creditable to the taste and good feeling of the army. In connection with this subject, I may ask you to insert the following notice, which was drawn up at a meeting of the chaplains of the army, held at the Rev. Mr. Egan's quarters last Saturday ; " M.EXIORIAL CIIURCR AT CONSTANTINOPLE. "It has been determined, with the approval and sup port of the Archbishop of Canterbury, to erect a church at Constantinople for the perpetual worship of Almighty God as the fittest monument to commemorate the ofile.ers and soldiers of the British army who have been lost to us during the late campaign. " This measure, which has been undertaken for the es pecial benefit of our own countrymen, while affording a witness of the true faith to the Ilahoine lan, will also pre sent to every other race and communion an example of the manner in which the pure doctrioefrof Christianity are taught by the Reformed Church of England " It is proposed to have the names of all the officers and their several regiments, with the number of men who have nobly died in the fulfilment of their duty, inscribed in some conspicuous place iu the church. " A subscription list has been opened in support of this project, and to those who have survived the dangers of the late war it will afford a fitting opportunity to snake a thankoffering to Almighty God, anti at the same time to exhibit a sympathy with surviving relatives, and an af fectionate remembrance of fallen friends and comrades. "Subscriptions will be received by the Rave , the Chap lains of Divisions and Brigades ; by the Treasurer, F. S. Carpenter, Fsq., Assistant-Commissary-General, Balak lava ; by Sir John Kirkland, army agent, SO, Pall-mall, London ; and by the Rev. 11. W. SI. Egan, M.A., Princi pal Chaplain, Head-quarters." I omitted to mention the death of the Rev. Mr. Strick land, Roman Catholic chaplain, who died of fever caught in the French hospitals, where he was discharging his duties with his usual zeal and devotion. His remains lie on Cathcart's-hill, and his fdneral was attended by a great number of officers, without any distinction of creed. The health of our troops, in spite of some cases of scurvy, is excellent, and the French are in a much better condition than they were. They are shifting their camps towards Kamiesh, and the plateau of Inkerman is nearly bare. TIIIIRSDAY. The horse fair, held yesterday at Mackenzie's Farm, has proved a most utter failure. The Russians aro so sure of being able to provide themselves with horses for next to nothing, that they are in no hurry to bid till the time of departure draws nigh, and the screw is put upon the Eng lish. Some hundreds of officers went up yesterday to the fair, and there was a considerable attendance of Russian officers on the ground, but they came to look, and not to buy. Their largest offers ranged from 41. to GI. In ono in stance, however, 401. was given for a fine English mare. Horses and ponies wore at a ruinous discount. Some mules and bat animals were sold for ss. and 10s. a-piece. Some had cost probably 50, and others 100 times as much. I know of three mules being sold for 7s. 6d., and have heard that 14 mules were sold for 1/. Our officers were greatly annoyed at the offers which were made to them. In one instance a gentleman had sent up his horse in charge of his servant, with a card, marked in French, "The price of this horse is 50/." A Russian officer took the card, scratched out the 0, and coolly offered five imperials for the animal. They told us they never paid more than 100 roubles for their best chargers, and that all they wanted were English stallions and mares for breeding. What is to be done with the ponies, extra chargers, and bat ani mals no one knows, unless private speculators do some thing for the army. Several attempts have been made to enter into contracts, but the merchants naturally desire that seine one should be responsible before they send up vessels, and individual officers have an equally natural aversion to becoming liable for such large amounts as would be involved in the undertaking. For the information of Lord Pannaure, however, it may be observed that the agent of a very large shipowner says ho will undertake to carry horses to England at 201. a-head in steamers, and at 151. a-head in sailing vessels ! Many of the animals out here in the Laud Transport Corps could not be replaced in England under 401. or 501., so that it would be worth the expense to send them home, if there is any need for them. There is some faint talk about regiments being marched in England from station to sta tion, iustoad of being carried by rail. This change will not bo carried out. The st( r.s, materials, carts and waggons of three complete Elivisions or battalions—l don't know which—of the Land Transport Corps, are packed up and in readiness to bo sent to Canada. No men, mules, or horses will be sent with thi s materiel , except a few per sons to take charge of it. From the Crimea to Canada is a long stretch, but an army provided with fast and power ful steamers thinks very little of the distance, and those regiments which are under orders for the latter station are delighted with the prospect of e.sciping Malta or the West Indies, and of enjoying the hospitality and sporting re creations of that country, in a fine climate and amid kind friends, after the trials and redo existence of war. Colonel 11I'Murdo is going or has gone to Sinope in the Napoleon, to superintend the breaking up of the establidr client of the Land Transport Corps, which has existed there for some time. The sawmill erected there has been very useful, although it was sent out " too late," and there is a large accumulation of fine planks there. Colonel has made some tolerably successful offers to open L i warket in the neighbourhood of Sinopo for the sale of cart mules, and hopes to be able to get rid of a good ! roimber of them at 10s. apiece. Considering that they cost 301. or 401., that is not an extravagant sum. In one transaction 3,0001. was cleared in Asia Minor for animals, Most of which were not in a fit condition to work. The procaQs of populatin g the Valley of Balder by mules, vice Tartars, retired, is being 'carried out with vigour. Day after day strings of the mangy, the. maimed,,the'halt, the blind, the farcied, the spavined, the curbe are to be seen on their way.to these grassy valleys, where they are turned loose to seek their fortune. Many of, them, how ever, die upon the way, and never reach the place. There is also a-committee of inspection busily engaged in inspect. ing and weeding the artillery. They have " cast" most of the mules, and all the Spanish horses. The latter were dear bargains: they cost, perhaps, all round, carriage and all, GJ/. or 70/. each, and the country will never get as many shillings for them. The French officers have received compensation fur their pack animals and horses. It is particularly hard on our officers to bo refused any compeniation, when it is consi dtre i that during the terrible winter of 1851 they gene rously gave up their horses for the use of their regiments, and worked them to death in the service, so that they were put to the expense of providing•themselves 'with others. It was as late as February last. that officers were again ordered to provide themselves with the full regula tion.number• of bat animals. • The first two English regiments have left the. Crimea. Her Majesty's 9th Foot, Colonel Borton, and one company of the 17th, embarked in the Resolute, and the-39th Foot embarked in the Sirnoom at 11 o'clock this morning, and sailed from Bal'klava in the course of the afternoon. The ein'harkation was effected' with great Order and regularity, and the men and horses were on board. in 40 minutes: The baggage had, however,- been sent down the previous day, and rather astonished the nav4offmers by its bulk itild ex ceeding variety. The two regiments are in excellent health and spirits. FRIDAY. Of all the painful and pitiable sights which have been presented.tome in the course of the war which is pait, -tlieie.wasltot one which _was. so affecting as that of the Tartar Exodus and their - flight-out of the Criusear'Whe ther they are animated, as they say, by the dread of their Russian taskinastars, or by tjieir desire to improve their condition, the motive must be powerful which can drive a whole race from their homes. They leave those peaceful and beautiful valleys for ever, and flock into Balaklava with all their goods; in the hope of obtaining the means of escape. On Thursday the whole population in the valleys out-. side the Russian lines began 'their mournful procession. They left their Nimes silently. The old men, women, and children were Placed on the arabas, above the pile of cushions which seem to constitute all their household fur niture. Many of them cried bitterly. Several of,these poor pilgrims were so exhausted from illness or old ego that there was little chance of their ever seeing the land they seek to gain. Each araba was dr awn by two small bullocks or oxen, led by the head of the family'. the elder children kept by his side or followed on foot. Tho women, closely veiled, in spite of their grief, looked around with wonder at the marvels which Balaklava .presented, and were for a time beguiled from thoughts of their abandoned dwellings in Biouk, Miskomia, Varnutka, Raider, Upu; I Ozernbash, or Tchuliu ; but as the sea opened upon them, and they found themselves among strangers, the sense of their position came back to them with redoubled force; and they seemed lost in despair. The procession which I saw was about a mile in length, and was formed of arabas in single filo, as close to each other as they could pack. The head of the train was drawn up by the water's edge id the harbour, and the extremity extended fur beyond the limits of the town. lam informed that there was a large encampment of the same poor creatures near Kamm a last night, and that they would make their way into Bs.- leklava as soon as their predecesiors had cleared away. I also saw several families who had taken refuge in the camp of the head-quarters of the Transport Corps last night. As there were no houses for their reception, men, women, and children slept in the streets of Balaklava under arabas. In the morning they found that the Turkish Colonel who en perintended the emigration, and who was evidently un prepared for its magnitude, had only ono small vessel ready for them ; but he succeeded in hiring two Knell Turkish , sailing vessels in addition. The women and children were sent on board till theie ships were full, and then the Turkish and Tartar authorities applied to Admiral Fre mantle, but he had received no pre viuus iutimation, and could do nothing at the moment. However, be wrote to Sir W. Codrington, on the subject, and, as he is a humane man, he will no doubt do all he can to assist these Tartars. When I left Balaklava yesterday there was every prospect of their spending another night in the streets and on the hill sides, nor did their stock of provisions appear very ample. Hitherto, the French have given ratious, such as they could spare, to a certain number of Tartars in the valley of Baidar, in return for their services as wood car riers and arabajees. They are a docile, k nd-hearted, gen tle race, and are much superior in appearance to the Tar tars I saw at Kertch and Eupatoria. They ha o all fine teeth and oyes. Many of the men are very well lcokiug, and the old men are exceedingly dignified in aspect, suit possess great native ease and good breeding. The young women possess graceful forms, and aro believed to be very pretty, bat they are not often seen unveiled, and the old women do not display the least traces of beauty. I have never seen anywhere children more lively and handsome in face than some who were among the emigrants yesterday. As I was riding- through. the street some Russian officers passed, and gave signs of dissatisfaction at the proceedings of the Tartars. The latter were very abject in their bows as their masters passed them. And this is the out of one of the conquering races of the world ! Whether the Tar tars deserved their fate, or have been treated badly by fortune, one cannot but feel pity for them, if they are pun ished for the crimes of their ancestors. They came into the Crimea as conquerors, and they leave it as exiles. It is said that they are going to colonise the Debrudscha, or to settle at Rustohuk and Kostandje. The first-Ilan:led place is but a pestiferous nsaraie ; it is a grave to those who visit it, and I sincerely trust that these poor Tai tars, in whom we ought to, take a great interest, for we have broughtupon them this aggra.vatien of the evils of their position, will not be doomed to slick misery and certain death as they will find in the Dobrudscha. The number of families ready to emi grate is stated to be 1,500. They declare that all the Tartars in the Crimea would follow their example if they could, and it is worthy the attention of the allied Governments to inquire whether facilities should not be offered to 'save these unfortunate people from the fate which impends over them. The Tartars declare the Russians hate them on account of their sympathies with the Allies, and that they will exact a terrible revenge when we are gone. The Tartars still rejoice over the Alma ; they rub their hands with delight at the very name, but it has been to them an unhappy victory. Although the expectation of a large and generous brevet on her Majesty's birthday somewhat assuages the angry feelings with which the reductions are regarded, the dis satisfaction of which I have spoken has not subsided. Where all of the officers affected by the reductions com plain with asperity of the injustice done to them it is not my duty to indicate isolated cases in which there are broad grounds of complaint, and it is probable thatif I were to cite particular instances, they would be capped by the citation of larger and more unjustifiable injuries. Not only do Brigadiers Staunton, Adams, Trollops, Van Strau bonze°, Spencer, and others return to their regiments, but it is even expected that Major-General Garrett, the General commanding the Light Division, will go back to the command of the 4lith Regiment. Colonel Lysons, of the 211, who has for some time served as Brigadier of the 2d Brigade, Light Division, is said to have been appointed ou the distinct understanding that his services in that capacity were not to constitute any claim for promotion, and there are several other senior colonels of regiments in a position somewhat similar. The junior Lieutenant- Colonels who will have to retire if the rumours so largely circulated, and generally believed, are well founded, have reasons to regret the promotion they have received, for it has caused them to be placed on half-pay when they had just begun to entertain hopes that they might command their regiments. Had they remained as senior majors or captains they would have be 'n safe, and their military career would have been uninterrupted by the fatal break, " half-pay." Many officers desirous of seeing active service, and gaining promotion by ex p osure i n the field, find that all their efforts have been futile. They have with great exertion and expenditure effected exchanges with officers of the regiments out here, and now they find their services disregarded. The third paragraph of the general orders, on Tuesday, has given rise to the hope that there will be a large brevet to the senior officers, who are troubling on the verge of half: pay. Se‘veral contracts have been entered into for the supply of fresh meat to the divisions of the army from the interior of the Crimea. The Fourth Division has already enjoyed the results of the arrangement in the shape of some very good beef. The cattle are of two descriptions—small plump shorthorns, and large lean longhorns ; but the meat of the latter is very good. There are very few sheep to ba had — indeed I have not seen any whatever. Our canteen people have disposed of their extra stock to the Russians at remu nerative prices. Mrs. Seacole, with whose name one land mark in the Crimea will always be identified, has made the grand tour by Bakshi-Serai and bitnpheropol, and has managed to leave some of her stock behind her. The Sultan has sent her a medal, but she is anxiously expect ing the English Government to decorate her with the Crimean riband and its metallic appendage, to which she lays claim, for " services rendered in the field." I saw the good old woman actively engaged in succouring the wounded after the Battle of the Tchernaya, and she was on the ground in front of the camp; on September the Bth, with a huge plum-pudding, wine, and other creature com forts, to give gratuitously to those who stood in need of them. The number of navvies and Land Transport Corps men who have been cured by her of their headaches, stomach-aches, fevers, and other =dailies, rendered the doctors almost jealous of her. Mrs. Seacole's partner is named Day, and the wags of the camp have irreverently termed the firm " Night and Day," in allusion to the fine mahogany hue of the warm-hearted West Indian. BURIAL PLACES IN TEE CRIVEA. The following has been published in the Crimea : GENEnAL ORDER. Head quarters, April 29, 1856. No. 2. It will be agreeable to the army to know that it is the honourable wish and intention of the Russian authorities to preserve scrupulously the burial places and monuments of those of our countrymen who have died in the Crimea. "The terms used in the despatch are, that the Impe rial Government will consider this a `sacred duty, and General Luders, in an order to the Ru.sian army, mentions "that he is persuaded that after the evacua tion of the positions occupied by the all the troops which remain in the Crimea will regard with respect the tombs and monuments of those who have died on the field of battla."

Sir Richard Airey has acted throughout the Chelsea in quiry in many and various characters, and on Wecloesday concluded his performances by summing up strongly iu his own favour. Could persons in the position in which the Quartermaster-General is presumed to stand, assume to themselves the functions of judge as well as'the f the accused, no doubt acquittals would largely pre dominate in the administration of justice. The truth, however;is, Sir Richard Airey has not been on his trial at all. While Colonel Tulloch was present—that is, while the cases of Lords Lucan and Cardigan were before the Court, there was 'some pretence for saying that an inquiry was afoot. There was at least a man present who was, to a certain degree, in a position to challenge the misstate ments, to correct the exaggerations, to refresh the lagging Memories of that Prwtorian band of witnease; who came forward to testify in behalf of their chiefs. At the best, Colonel Tulloch had difficulties to contend against of a most trying kind—the dead vrere buried, the starving time was over—the war was at an end. Well nigh every man in the court was the sworn adherent of his opponents. Whether it was professional sympathy, whether fear for their own prospects in the service if they opposed their su perior officers, or whatever the reason may have been, almost every man who came before the Court appeared in the light of an adverse witness to Colonel Tulloch. Lord Lucan, whose case was first heard, endeavoured to brow beat the Commissioner; he addressed him and spoke of him to the Court in the most unbecoming and insolent manner; nor did he desist from this courao until it became obvious, even to his apprehension, that by the violence of his conduct he was damaging his own case. Nor is Sir Richard Airey free from the same charge. But for Lord - Lucaa's behaviour, we would have written that nothing could be more offensive or unbecoming than Sir Richard Airey's manner to Colonel Tulloch during the earlier part of the inquiry. As the holes in his own coat, however, became more apparent, Sir Richard Airey, too, saw tit tp abate somewhat of the flippancy of his previous manner, untiliiithe - And we tind him speaking of the Com, missioners, and especially of his old adversary Colonel Tel loch, almost in terms of respect. All this may pass as un important Anoug,h, for certainly the court at Chelsea has not been convened to 'inquire into mere questions of punc tilio; but, still, observations of this kind may help us to the Measure of men's minds and of their characters. When they can scarcely restrain the ebulitione of their temper under circumstances where self-restraint is so highly no cessaiy to their own interests, we may judge what their conduct would have been when they were under no Such restraint, and in the possession of what was for the time irresponsible power. We should add to the liar. of difficul ties which surr.ninded Col. Tulloch, that his colleague, Sir J. Al`Niell, had taken a different view of his position as Commissioner. Sir J. Itt•Neill'a idea is, that he was sent out to.the Crimea to make a report, upou.certain facts as ho might find them upon inquiry. Ho inquired, ho ascer tained the facts, and he made his report: There it is, im pugn it who will Sir J. iii`Neid is of opinion that he has done his duty, he adheres to his act, and there is an end of the matter as far as he is concerned. We can as well understand that a gentleman should take this view of the case as that he should adopt the other one upon which Col. Tulloch acted, until his unfortunate illness compelled him to retire from the scene. ' We haVe now a few remarks to offer upon the evidence which Sir Richard Airey has produced, and upon his favourable conclusion as to his own conduct. His explana tion, or statement—call it by wha name you will—must be taken for as much as it is worth ; that is, we accept it as a prisoner's defence—as a defendant's view of his own acts and rights. Sir R. Airey's statement, we say, supported by the evidence of his own witnesses, is a pure cx parte statement. It is not, therefore, without value, but has just that value which must be attached to unckillenged, unsifted assertions. We have, on the one hand, the allega tions of the Commissioners, supported by the evidence of the Crimean witnesses, and illustrated by their own ob servations on the spot. On the other hand, we have these statemeuts from Sir Richard Airey and his friends, many of which are diametrically opposed to the conclusions of the report and to the evidence attached to it. Ou which side lies the truth ?—that is the question, and the Court at Chelsea has done nothing whatever to resolve it. There is, however, a point on which Sir Richard Airey insisted at great length in the course of his statement, and on which he appears to have laid great stress—that is, that the testi mony of the Commissioners was not to be received because they had not been deputed ad hoc ; they had, as he said, exceeded their powers. Now, if General Airey had been a sharp lawyer, arguing some nice point of law before the Queen's Bench in banco, this objection might have passed muster. His position, however, is entirely different. He was an officer in a high and responsible command—he hd; been charged with incapacity and negligence in the (Hs ' charge of his duty—he has himself asked for the oppor tunity of offering explanations. It would have better be come him, then, to proceed to the points at issue at once than to fritter away his time and the time of the Court in frivolous discussions as to whether or no the Queen's Com missioners had in some degree exceeded their powers. If they had exceeded their powers, would • General Airey therefore have been whitewashed in reputation ? Clearly not. In such an inquiry as this the accused must answer the chirps brought against him ; it will avail him little to dispute the jurisdiction of his accusers. .Threughent, Sir' Richard Airey has conducted his case in the same pet ti6ggiug spirit. On Wednesday he endeavoured to taint the character of the Crimean report by asking the Judge- Advocate to read the first sentence, which proved his poiut. There General Airey would have stopped, and the Judge-Advocate was compelled to remind him that the conclu,ling sentences entirely negatived the inference which he had so disingenuously drawn from the first mu tilated phrase. If we cannot say much for the spirit in which Sir Richard Airey conducted his case, neither can we affirm that we have been convinced by his arguments. We well take his case as he sums it up, and pats it himself to the Court. As he says, the charges of the Coln tnissionen have now mainly resolved themselves into two heads. First, there is the statement that there was not sufficient care or forethought displayed iu hutting the horses. This charge General Airey considers as disposed of in the sense favour able to the accused. We doubt if he will find 100 men out of the Hall of Chelsea Hospital, and unconnected with the ruling military clique, who .will be of the same opi nion. Then he says that the Commisifioners denounced certain irregularities in the issue departmona. No doubt, they did. General Airey's great argument in his own fa vour—his che yea de bataille, as one may say—is this : Until it can be proved that the Quartermaster-General placed hindrances and obstacles in the way of issue, he is not only free from blame, but entitled to the highest mili tary rewards which the Sovereign can bestow upon him at this stage of the career. Now, is this so? Is it suffi cient that an officer should have displayed these passive virtures, and roust we therefore promote him to a niche in our Walhalla ? Alas ! we cannot but remember that of an army which lost but 'i,030 men by the shot of the enemy upwards of 20,000 perished by causes which we:a more or less under the control of men in Sir Richard Airey's position. They did nothing, and he did nothing. That is just what his present defence alsounts to, taking it at the best, but we do not therefore feel inclined to wreathe laurels for his brows, and bid pipe and tabor strike up, " See the conquering hero comes !" IRELAND ~-- DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNING. THE TIPPERARY BANK. Mr. R. Deasey, Q.C., was heard yesterday on the part of the official manager, and against the claim of exemption put in by the English share holders. It is expected that the Master will give judgment this day ; but from the tardiness of the proceedings so far it would be rash to rely on the realisation of the expectation. MR. WHITESIDE AND THE DERBY PARTY. The London correspondent of the Evening Mail supplies some information with respect to the recent unfortunate assault on the Palmerston Government by the hon. member for Enniskillen which is both novel and amusing. The writer says— " Previously to the meeting of the Conservative party at the residence of Lord Derby Mr. Liddell sought an interview with that nobleman, and pressed upon his at tention tho extreme imprudence of the proposed mea• sure. Lord Derby, and I believe Mr. Disraeli, thereupon represented to Mr. Whiteside the propriety of holding back ; but their representations were met by that gen tleman with, I understand, very strong language—' He would never again vote with theparty if he was not sup ported, and on he would go, even though he should not have a man to stand by him.' Seeing this, Lord Derby had n ) option but to assent to the proceeding ; but upon the very eve of the debate another effort was made to stop it. An appeal was made by Mr. Henley, Sir F. Thesiger, and Mr. Walpole to Mr. Disraeli to interfere, which the right hon. gentleman declined to do, inasmuch a 3 he knew any appeal to Mr. Whiteside would be futile." The writer then points to a parallel case in the days when the Conservative party ecould Loast of Sir Robert Peel as their leader, and when, never theless, a similar rash movement by the outsiders was attended with similar results : " During the days of the Melbourne Ministry a cir cumstance occurred quite analogous to the recent trans action in which Mr. Whiteside cut so conspicuous a figure ; and, as the result of both proceedings w as crowned with Ministerial triumphs, I will, with your permission, narrate the facts, and leave your readers to point the moral of the tale. " The Melbourne Ministry of that day were suffering defeats upon minor points which shook them to their very centre, just as Lord Palmerston 's Government were hourly losing ground until Mr. Whiteside rushed to their rescue. A deputation from the Conservative party of that day waited on Sir R. Peel to urge upon him the necessity of taking a step in advance, with a view of hurrying on the downfall of the Government. Let we alone, said that wise tactician, and before a month I'll put them out ; but, it you at the present moment test the strength of parties by a vote of want of confi dence you will succeed in fixing the Government firmly in office.' The deputation left, and, on further consul tation, the party differed from their wise leader ; and at a sub-equent interview a conversation to the following effect took place : e" Sir J.—The Conservative party agree with you, Sir Robert, that the Government will be able to negative the vote of want of confidence, but by so small a majo rity that it will be equivalent to a Conservative triumph.' "Sir Robert Peel.—Since the passing of the Reform Bill large majorities must not be looked for, and this Ministre will remain in office with a very slend er one indeed ; and, under existing circumstances, depend upon it, any inejs,rity in your favour will not be equiva lent to a defeat. But, as the great Conservative party who have done the the honour to place me at their bead Ithink that the time is come for making an onward move, „ an:l as it involves no sacrifice of principle, let the party GEOGRAPHY.

MACDONALD, Secretary. 65, 31 orgate-street, May 14, 1356. _ TBE LATE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF INDIA PORTSUOUTH, May 14.—The bells of the parish church of Portsmouth rang a merry peal last night in honour of the arrival of Lord Dalhousie. His lordship, as stated last night, proceeded in the carriage of the Commander in-Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour ' to the George Hotel, in this town. His lordship's baggage, &0., has been unshipped from the Tribune to-day, and is to be conveyed to London to-night. We have plea sure in stating that his lordship's health seems improv ing, but, from the obstinacy of the wound in his leg, received in accidentally striking it some tine since against a piece of timber on one of his Indian journeys, the general weakness of the bodily system will take some time to be removed. It appears that swellings arise around and upon the wound two or three times a month, a-srl bleediag has to be resorted to on each occasion. This necessarily causes a great drain upon the system. Weak, however, as is his lordship's bodily strength, and great as must be the pain be continually suffers, it is impossible to describe too warmly the urbanity and kindness of heart and manner he is described to us as displaying towards all who may have to come into com munication with them. The officers and seamen of the Tribune steam-frigate, in which his lordship was brought to this port, emphatically join in this general encomium. The :Marquis of Dalhousie arrived at Claridge's Hotel, on Wednesday afternoon, front Portsmouth. The noble marq . nis was accompanied by his daughter, the Lady Susa a Ramsay.
