PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING. The Senate held a sitting yesterday, M. Trop long presiding. The bill recently adopted by the Legislative Body for opening a credit of 400,000 f. for the baptismal fetes of the Prince-Imperial, and several other bills, were brought forward, and ordered to be referred to committees. The re mainder of the sitting was taken up with hearing reports on petitions, one of which led to some dis cussion, in which Marshal Vaillant, Generals de Bourjolly, Gemeau, and Carrelet, Baron Dupin, and the Marquis de la Rochejaquelin took part. The sitting then terminated. The Archduke Maximilian yesterday paid visits to Prince Jerome, Prince Napoleon, and the Prin cess Mathilde. The Prince afterwards went to the Austrian Embassy, where the members of embassy and a number of Austrians of distinction now in Paris were presented. In the evening a grand dinner was given in his honourat the Palace of St. Cloud, at which the Princes and Princesses of the Imperial family, and the Austrian ambassador, the Ministers, the grand officers of the Crown, and their ladies were present. • Prince Oscar, Duke of Ostrogothie, whose de parture from Sweden for France has been already announced, is expected in Paris on the 19th. He is to remain in the French Capital about ten days. The Prince is twenty-seven years of age, and, like the Archduke Maximilian, belongs to the navy.

The Railway Share Market closed steadily, and a fair amount of business was done, with a alight advance on the current rates of Friday. Th e advices from New York state that money was in active demand, and the rates charged for the negotiation of business paper tended upwards. During the week ending May 3 the imports ex ceeded the exports by $358,965, so that the balance of trade being still against the New York mer chants continued remittances of specie may be expected. In the market for English Securities a moderate amount of business has been done, and the quota tions current at the close of business on Saturday has been well maintained.

Most of the provincial markets held on Saturday exhi bited but moderate supplies of wheat. The demand, how ever, for all kinds ruled inactive, at barely stationary prices. Barley was very dull, and lower to purchase. Most other grain moved off slowly, on former terms. The French markets are still firm for wheat, but those in Germany rule heavy for most kinds of produce. In the 'United States, both wheat and flour continue to come to hand very freely. The receipts of English grain up to our market, last week, were but moderate. Probe abroad, we received 14,394 quarters of wheat, 4,352 b&rley, 12,860 oats, 8,993 beans, 125 tares, 25,023 linseed, 7,740 rapeseed, 1,490 sun dry seeds, 1,754 sacks, and 769 barrels of flour. The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to our market to-day coastwise was very moderate, and by land carriage the receipts were rather limited. However some of Friday's unsold samples were on offer. The attendance of buyers was far from extensive, and the demand for ail kinds of wheat of home produce was in a sluggish state. Selected qualities were mostly disposed of at last Monday's quotations ; but the low and damp parcels were the turn in favour of buyers. At the close of business Kent wheats gave way is to 2s per quarter, and some of the Essex qualities were unsold. The Board of General Officers met for the twenty third time this morning at Chelsea Hospital. Captain Heath, R.N., proceeded to comment upon certain passages in the report of the Crimean Commis sioners, in which they stated that Colonel Gordon in his evidence before Sir J. M'Neil complained that Captain Heath, as the principal agent of transports, had caused considerable inconveniences to those who might wish to communicate with him, by living on board a war steamer in Cossack Bay, outside the Harbour of Balaklava, instead of on board a transport in the Harbour of Balaklava itself. With reference to this paragraph, he contended that as his duties were of a very various nature, and that as he had a great deal to engage his attention be sides the mere transport service connected with the har bour of Balaklava, he could much better discharge his duties on board a war steamer in Cossack Bay than on board a transport at Balaklava. And with regard to any inconvenience to which the commissariat depart ment was put to by his being outside the harbour, he begged to state that it took about five minutes for a b•sat to pull from the wharves to Cossack Bay, while messengers for the service were to be met with in plenty. With reference to a further statement of Colonel Gordon that the station chosen by him (Capt. Heath) and sanctioned by Admiral Lyons, was the means of creating inconvenience in the embarka tion of the sick and wounded officers at Balaklava, he begged to give that statement a complete denial, and to hand in statements from the officers who had superin tended the embarkation of the sick and wounded, in proof that every possible care had been displayed in that service by him. Col. Gordon said that everything stated by him to the Commissioners was perfectly correct, with the exception perhaps of some of the details of the navy, in which Captain Heath had declined to furnish certain reports similar to those which were supplied by his predecessor, Captain Christie. He might be in some error in con nection with this matter, but with regard to the em barkation of sick and wounded officers, he had been in formed that they had often been put to great inconve nience by having to seek Capt. Heath outside the har bour, in order to ascertain what ship they were to em bark in. Besides, immediately Capt. Heath left an office was put up on shore, so as to do away with this inconvenience. General Airey had spoken to Lord Raglan on the subject, and he in turn to Admiral Lyons, who promised to call the attention of Capt. Heath to the subject, but he (Col. Gordon) could not say whether he did so. There was a full average supply of foreign wheat in the market. Good heavy qualities were held somewhat firmly, at full prices; but low samples commanded very little attention. Floating cargoes of grain were dull, but not cheaper. The show of English barley was very moderate, of foreig❑ good. The trade ruled heavy, and prices were the turn against sellers. We had a slow inquiry for malt, at last week's quota tions. The supply was moderate. There was a full average show of oats which moved off steadily, at 6d more mosey. We had a good demand for beans, at an advance of is per quarter, and peas were rather dearer. The flout trade was inactive, but no change took place n prices. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Heath stated that he had adhered to his instructions, and that if he had been inside the harbour he could not have fulfilled his general duties so well as in Cossack Bay. A good deal of conversation followed between Colonel Gordon and Capt. Heath, in the course of which the latter complained of the unjustifiable manlier in which Colonel Gordon sometimes wrote him ; and Colonel Gordon, in reply, asserting that his letters were always perfectly civil and proper in their tone. Colonel Mackenzie wai then examined by the Board, and stated that he was often put to great inconvenience by the absence of Captain Heath's vessel from Balaklava, and he had known sick officers to be put to great incon venience from the same cause. In reply to General Peel, — Captain Heath stated that he would have deputed the power of sining orders for the admission of sick and wounded officers on board transports, but that it was unnecessary to do so, as there were transports in bar bour who had orders to receive all wounded officers who might present themselves. Captain Heath repeated, nevertheless, that he had re peatedly seen such officers taken to the sides of trans port ships, and brought back again, because they had no embarkation orders. In reply to the Judge• Advocate, Captain Heath admitted that General Airey wrote to him, complaining of his position in Cossack Bay, but that he (Capt. Heath) then spoke about it to Lord Rag lan, who approved of his conduct in remaining o❑ board a war steamer outside of the harbour of Balaklava. After some further conversation, Captain Heath's case was closed. In reply to the Judge• Advocate (by desire of Sir C. Trevelyan), Mr. Filder explained a misconception into which Sir C. Trevelyan had fallen, when he came to the conclusion that, in saying in a letter that he had plenty of "stores," he (Mr. Filder) intended to be understood that he had plenty of " hay." He had corrected that mistake by telling Sir Charles Trevelyao, shortly after, that he was greatly distressed for hay. ' In reply to the Judo Advocate, Col. Gordon said he bad received a copy of the :Vete:neat sent in by Col. Tu- loch, but was not yet quite prepared to put in his rei lv. The board having adjourned for an hour, Capt. Heath put a question to Col. Mackenzie, who said that be had seen officers bringing the mall, owing to the absence of Capt. Heath from Balaklays. Bedford and ;gletchloy Buckgbanish Clyclesdal , . 1 .

Compared with Monday last, the supply of beasts put up from our grazing districts was limited. However, nearly the whole of the stock was in excellent condition. The attendance of buyers was good, and the beef trade ruled brisk, at an advance in the quotations of fully 2d per 8 lbs. The general top 6 gure for beef was Is Bd, but some very prime sorts realised 4s 10d per 8 lbs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 1,700 Scots and short horns ; from other parts of England 250 of various breeds; from Scotland, 560 Scots ; and from Ireland, 28 oxen. We have had a very short supply of sheep in the market, and the quality of most breeds was by no means first rate. The mutton trade was very brisk, and the quotations ruled from 4d to fully 6d per 8 lbs above those realised on this day se'nnight. Downs in the wool sold as high as 5s 10d —out of the wool, 5s 4d per 8113 s. More than three•fourths of the sheep were out of the wpol. The supply of lambs was but moderate. The lamb trade was steady, at last week's quotations. The top price was 60 4d per 8 lbs. About 400 head came to hand from the Isle of Wight. We had an improved demand for calves, at 2d per 8 lbs more money. The best veal realised 5s 6d per 8 lbs. There was very little inquiry for pigs, yet prices were well supported.

CONSISTOWV COURT.—MAT 17. (Before Dr. Lusbington.) DAVIDSON V. DAVIDSON.--AMILTEBT.-SENTENCE. This was a suit for a divorce instituted by Mr. Madg wick Spicer Davidson, of Hampstead, against Katherine Ann Davidson, his wife, by reason of adultery. The parties were married on the 25th of Feb., 1855, at Long Newnton, Wilts, Mrs. Davidson being then about 20 years of age. They cohabited at Bristol, in Upper Avenue-road, and finally at Paris, where they separated on the 22d of May last. It was alleged that Mrs. David son, while at school at Boulogne, had formed an attach ment with a young Frenchman named Em le Lalouette ; and that the correspondence bstween them having been clandestinely renewed a few weeks after the marriage, her conduct had undergone a marked change. She ceased to behave with affection towards her husband_ She became very extravagant in her habits. While with her husband at Paris she told him that she wished to be come a Roman Catholic, and she refused to go back with him to England. Being himself compelled to re turn he left her behind, and it was alleged that La louette bad visited her on the very same night. Mrs. Davidson's servant, Ann Denman, refused to leave them together notwithstanding all the efforts of her mistress to induce her to do so. Mrs. Davidson then said that " Emilie" had a head-ache and would lie down in her bed. Lalouette accordingly undressed himself and got into bed. Mrs. Davidson sat by his bedside, kissing and caressing him ; sometimes holding his hand in her's, and sometimes laying her head on the pillow close to his. At length Denman left the room in order to write a letter to Mr. Davidson. She was absent about 20 minutes ; and at six o'clock she left them again for two hours. It was alleged that the adultery had been com mitted betwee❑ these intervals. Dr. Lushington now gave sentence. After adverting to the principle of law with respect to cases of this de scription, namely, that there must be proof of a crimi nal attachment between the parties, and of an oppor tunity of indulging that attachment, the learned judge proceeded to discuss the attempts which had been made to impeach the testimony of Ann Denman. On the whole, he considered that the main facts of that witness's testimony remained unshaken. There could be no doubt that Mr. Davidson had been indulgent to his wife to a fault ; and what had been his return She had behaved with coldness, indifference, and disobedi ence. The reason of this it was impossible not to see ; it was a disgraceful attachment before marriage, and shamelessly carried on afterwards. It was only too well known that an illicit attachment was a cause quite suffi cient to sever the strongest ties which the laws of God or man could consecrate. Mrs. Davidson's alleged change of religion he treated as a mere pretext. He fully recognise , ' the force of a conscientious religious scruple ; but when such a scruple was put forward by a wife, in order to justify a gross breach of duty, he must be satisfied that at least it was sincere. Of that there was not the slightest proof. In order to show that Mrs. Da vidson's desire to change her religion was real, it ha-' been contended that she was an attendant at the church in Wells street. Of the merits of that4church he knew nothing. It was a place in which the services - of the church of England were performed by episcopal autho rity, and he did not think he was entitled to assume that attendance in a church of that description was a demon strative proof of an intention to adopt the Roman Catho lic faith. He was told that it was a place of notoriety; but surely it could not be said that because the service. were performed there in the mode and manner alleged, he ought to conclude that everybody who attended them vas about to abandon the faith and the worship of the church of England. But, to show the straits to which be counsel of Mrs. Davidson had been reduced, the learned gentleman (Dr. Twiss) had actually urged as proof of Mrs. Davidson's intention to leave the church of England, that she had once known a lady who had joined the Church of Rome. He (Dr. Lushington) cuuld not admit that Mrs. Davidson's pretended reli gious scruples were anything but an artifice to procure en opportunity of carrying on the intrigue with her pa ramour. With respect to Mrs. Davidson's proceeding on the night of the 221 of May, there was proof sufficient, and more than sufficient, of criminal intention; and there vas equally ample proof of opportnnity, both on the night in question and on many subsequent occasions. He considered that the adultery had been most clearly esta blished, and he must, therefore, pronounce for the divorce. POLICE IIiTELLIGENOE.—May 77. MANSION-HOUSE. —J oAn Mackenzie, clerk to Messrs. M'Andrew and Co., was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having feloniously stolen upwards of 2001., the property of his employers. Mr. Mullen-, the solicitor to the committee of bankers for protection against forgeries and frauds, attended for the prosecution ; Mr. Binns for the defence. Mr. H. S. Baker, of the firm of M'Andrew and Co., Allhallows Chambers, Lombard-street, merchants, said —The prisoner was a clerk in our servico from February, 1835, and kept the petty cash of the office. Money was given him occasionally for the purpose of being applied to petty disbursements. He had a cashbox, in which it vas his duty to keep the money intrusted to him, for which he was to account whenever called upon. He Also kept a book in which he male the entries of the Payments, and it was the duty of the cashier to check the book from time to time, and see the entries. The pri -.oner did not draw money for petty disbursements when as had money in hand. On the 15th inst. I had occa :ion to refer to the book, and noticed that the columr. , nding the 31st Dec. last had not been cast up. I cast it up, and found a balance of 89/. lls. 51. as being in he prisoner's hand to that time, and that balance was not carried forward. The prisoner was then out, and on his return I pointed out the omission to him, and I then of - served that the account had not been brought forward from April to May, and I told him to close up his h , ok and I would strike the balance. I waited with him whilst ne did it, and I found a deficiency of upwards of 100/. once Christmas, exclusive of the tormqr balance. \V counted the money in the cash-box, and found it was 09/ t,=7. Bd., and after allowing for that sum there was a de ficiency with the former sum at Christmas of 2031. 13 3d, The prisoner said he could not account for the deft ciency. It was an awkward thing for him. Upon beitia interrogated, he said that he had taken out nal-a-sove reign and a sovereign at a time occasionally, and that he knew he had taken out to the extent of 501., it might possibly be 1501., and it might possibly be to the amount of 2081. 134. 3d. He said he thought he 'night have pail money which he had not put down. I told him lie might refer to every receipt and document in the office, to as• certain if that was so. Ho looked over receipts and everything he wished in my presence, but did not disco ver anything to put down. The prisoner came again to the office yesterday and this morning, and as no satin factory answer was given he was placed in custody. The prisoner was then remanded till Saturday next. Thomas Brodie, a most impudent thief, was charged with having CD:P miteed three robberies. The prisoner went. to the shop of a clothier in Shore ditch, fitted on a coat, and desired the foreman to take it with him to Great St. Helen's, where the price would be instantly forthcoming. When they got to St. Helen's, 'he prisoner went into a house, returned with some papers in his hand, said to the messenger, "Give me the farce!, and I'll bring you out the cash directly," took the coat, retired inside, and no doubt slipped out the neck way, leaving the person who accompanied him in the passage in vain expectation. The foreman, upon hearing of the robbery, went to the station-house, and thence to Petticoat-lane, where he saw and apprehended the prisoner. In the second case, the prisoner selected a ring at the shop of a jeweller in Bishopsgate.street, told the shop man to send the errand boy with him to Great St. Helen's, where the amount would be paid, left the boy at the gate, slipped into the house with the ring, and out at the back door, and then ran off to a shoemaker's shop, where he fitted on a pair of shoes, and ran away in them the moment he saw an opportunity. When the prisoner was taken into custody for stealing the coat, the shoes he had stolen a week before were found upon his feet. _ _ The prisoner admitted to the officer that he bad done the clothier out of the coat, and said he had sold it for 15s. The rapidity of the felonious movements of the man caused some astonishment. He ran from robbery to robbery as if one success necessarily prompted a fresh attempt. Tne Lord Mayor said that so ingenious a thief must go before a jury, and committed him for trial. BOWSTREET.—Mr. Charles Hoole, of the firm of Charles and Arthur Hoole, grocers, &c., 44, London road, attended on his own part and his brother's to answer a summons, charging them, at the instance of the Commissioners of Excise, with selling for genuine coffee a mixture containing 27 per cent. of chicory. Charles Reeves, an Excise officer, proved the purchase of the article from a young man in defendants' shop. He asked for pure coffee. On opening the packet be found the words, "This is sold as a mixture of chiccry and coffee," printed on a part of the paper which was folded in, and, from the size of the papers, that part must always be inside if they were folded in the usual manner. The defence set up was that, on Christmas eve, the day the purchase was made, an extra band was engaged, and that he had given the mixture instead of pure coffee, by mistake. As it was the first offence, Mr. Henry mitigated the penalty to 251. Mr. H. R. Pulbrook, grocer, &C., 100, Blackfriars•road, appeared to a similar summons, for selling a package containing five per cent. of carmel, or burnt sugar. The defence was that the sugar had been mixed with the green coffee by accident, and so had been roasted with it. A similar penalty was inflicted. WORSIIIP-STREET.—The attention of the magi strate was occupied for a considerable time in the investi gation of a charge of burglary, preferred against two con stables of the G. division, named Joseph, Pargiter and Abraham George Pcllatt. Mr. Martin, the superintendent of the division, at tended to watch the case, and the court was crowded with tradesmen and other inhabitants of the district, who manifested a lively interest in the proceedings. The first witness examined was Police-constable Man sey, G 102, who deposed as follows :—About a quarter past 4 this morning, on reaching the end of my beat, at the corner of Tabernacle-square, Finsbury, T saw the prisoner Pargiter, who was manifestly intoxicated, standing in front of the Angel and Crown public-house, the door of which was partly open. I directly crossed over to him, and inquired if anything was the matter, to which the prisoner carelessly answered that he believed some one Lad got into the house, but that I had no right to interfere about it, as that was his beat, and I had bet teri mind my own business. After telling him that tconaidered it was w busies to exauliria the place, 1 was about to enter the house, when I was dragged back by the prisoner, who tripped me up with such violence that I fell heavily on my back. On recovering my feet the prisoner avail.) chxed upon me, and threw me down sevre-d times in rapid succession. We struggled together until the arrival of the acting scrjeant, who handed Par giter into the charge of another officer, end accompanied me into the house, where we found the other prisoner, in a helpless state of drunkenness, in front of the bar. There was no other person present, and as he was unable to furnish us with any explanation of the circumstances, we rand the door bell and roused the landlady, who dis covered, ou coming downstairs, that the inner part of the bar had been thoroughly ransacked, and amongst other property stolen was a quantity of silver and copper money, which had been abstracted from the till and an adjoining shelf, together with several bottles of spirits, and the contents of two cases of cigars, The prisoners were then removed in custody, but they offered such a strenuous resistance that it required the combined efforts of several officers to convey them to the station-house. Serjeant Maskell, G 4, stated that on the arrival at the station the prisoner Pellatt was stripped of his uni form, and in the pockets of his greatcoat were discovered a bottle of brandy, a gimlet, and piece of wire, several loose cigars, and two sills handkerchiefs. The prisoner's hat was also removed, and upwards of 50 cigars were discovered within it, concealed under a handkerchief. The prisoner accounted for the possession of the hand-, kerchiefs by stating that he had found them in the street, but made no observations with regard to the other pro perty. Serjt. G 11, stated that the prisoner Pargiter when brought to the station was also closely searched, and that a purse containg 129. 6d., a quantity of copper money, and 54 cigars were found in his possession. Edward Eccles, barman to the prosecutor, stated that, according to his usual practice, he left the house shortly after 12 o'clock, and the door was secured by a female .errant by means of a bolt which was shot into the floor. After getting outside he tried the door, and found it to he fast, but on returning at seven o'clock the next morn ing he discovered that the place had been entered, and amongst other articles which had been stolen were the two handkerchiefs produced, which he identified as his property. In qii,wer to a question from the magistrate, it was intimated by Superintendent Martin that PeHatt had been two years and Fargiter about eleven months in the force, which they bad both entered on the faith of the most satisfactory testimonials, the latter having been strongly recommended for the appointment by two church wardens. Mr. Ham mill said that it was a most aggravated case, which involved such a flagrant breach of trust on the, mart of the prisoners that he had no hesitation in corn initting them to Newgate for trial, but he should orler hem to ho brought up again for the completion of the depositions. THE PAR ‘S YESTERDAY. Notwithstanding the rain—which with very short in tervals descended in torrents during nearly the whole of escerday, the various parks in the metropolis were at ended by great numbers of pe..ple. Placards of various lescriptions had been extensively circulated during the .veek, announcing that a demonstration of working men would take place in the different parks for the pur pose of protesting against the stoppage of the band playing on Sundays, and calling upon all persons to at tend, as it was intended to have music notwithstanding Vie decision of Lord Palmersto❑ to the contrary. It )(ling therefore anticipated that some of the violence of last summer might be repeated, the attention of Sir Richard Mayne was called to the matter, and after careful consideration it was decided by the commis -toners that large numbers of police should be sent into the neighbourhood of the various parks, but that they should be secreted, and not called out unless their ser vices were required, so that any unpleasant collisions with the police might be avoided. The consequence of this was, that during the whole of yesterday very few constables were seen in any of the parks. HYDE PARK.—In this park the people began to as semble about three o'clock, and in about an hour, not withstanding the heavy showers of rain, several thou sands were gathered together. Many expressed their disappr)bation thatno one caine forward to address them, and after a short time a great crowd had collected in one spot. Tne people at this point were soon joined by a considerable number of "roughs" with sticks in their hands, who commenced to hoot, shriek, and swear, in a disgraceful manner. The majority were most respect able, well-dressed persons, and as soon as they perceived the low fellows were bent upon mischief, they moved off as quickly a , possible, dispersing in various directions, with an apparent determination ❑ot to take part in any uproarious proceedings. _ _ In Kensington-gardens, where by far the greatest number of people assembled, a similar concourse of "roughs" had banded themselves together, rushing against every respectably dressed person they met, at the same tims whistling, hooting, and shrieking, for the purpose of creating confusion and commitring robberies. Several of the trees were injered, in consequence of the teanches being pulled off, to be used as sticks by the disorderly. The scene was at its height a little after 4 o'mlock, when down came the heaviest shower of the iav, which had the effect of nearly clearing the park. REGENT's•rARK.—The number of people who assem bied in this park was very small, and though much dis. kppointment was expressed at the withdravral of the band no disturbance , took place. A large force of police was in reserve. Upon inquiry at the Albany-street sta tion ;ate lest evening, it was ascertained that everything had passed off quietly. VICTORIA-PARK.—Great numbers of people flocked into this park during the day, but there was no indica tion of riot or disorder. The letter purporting to come from Sir P. Hall, which appeared in our impression of Saturday ig, it appears, what is called a boar. The silly practical j .ker who concocted it has reason to be thankful that the unfavourable state of the weather, yesterday, pre. vented the assemblinl of a crowd so numerous that its disappointment rni,:ht have broke out in turbulence. Since no harm has come of his f , 11; it is not worth while to try to uncarth, the tool. —Daily News. FATAL EXPLOSION . IN TVOOLTVICEI ARSENAL.-FOUR LIVES LOST. On Saturday afternoon last, at half-past three o'clock, anotner explosion , ccurred in the laboratory department of Woolwich Arsenal, the re-ult of which has caused the utmost excitement, and plunged many families into the deepest afflieti-n. We are enabled, through the kind ness of sev , ral officials connected with the department, to give the following details of the accident. In tho centre of the Laboratory-square are two wooden sheds, each about 12 feet square ' used for the purp o s e of mixi n g the co m positio n f or fill.ng percussion caps. This composition contains a proportion of fulminating mercury, and in consequence of its combustible na ture it is conveyed to other sheds for use in gutty percha bottles, and only two persons are allowed in each of the sheds where it is mixed. Adjacent to these sheds is the carpenters' shop, and at the time of the accident several carpenters and labourers were em ployed in removing square boxes, made for the purpose of packing fireworks for London. At the time men tioned the sheds were blown up with a loud explosion, and twelve men and boys were thrown with terrific force into the air. The utmost consternation prevailed in the establishment The gates were closed ; and Captain Boxer, Superintendent of the Royal Laboratories, with the police force, were instantly on the spot to discover the extent of the accident, and render assistance. The dead and maimed were found in all directions at a con siderable distance from the sheds ; and one poor fellow was literally blown to atoms—his limbs being entirely disjointed. The following are those killed on the spot : —William Flack, foreman of the mixing sheds ; Richard Taylor, John Reading, and William Green, labourers. The seven principal sufferers, namely, John Andrews, a carpenter, Richard Russell, Henry Gale, John Savage, John Richardson, and two lads named Blanch and Webber, were conveyed to the Royal Ordnance Hos pital in ambulance waggons, under the direction of the Royal Ordnance surgeons. On inquiry at the hospital at eight o'clock last evening, it was ascer tamed that all the sufferers were in a very precarious state, and that Richardson was not expected to survive. William Powell, who was injured by the explosion in a rocket shed ten days since, died at the Royal Ordnance Hospital on Friday last. An inquestOwill be held on the deceased before C. J. Carttar, coroner for West Kent, to-morrow. ANOTHER OFFICIAL DEFAULTER AT PORTSMOUTH. La consequence of the lengthened inquiries resulting from the complaints made by the convicts on board the Stirling Castle, convict invalid hulk, in this harbour, circumstances have transpired of a somewhat serious character. These complaints were made previous to the murder of the late Mr. Hope, the surgeon of that ship, and they were repeated subsequently ; and it appears that an inquiry was instituted by three of the inspectors of prisans under the Home-office. The exact result of these inquiries has not, of course, been promulgated, but it appears they have led to the precipitate departure of Major Shaw, the governor of the Stirling Castle, who it is reported has appropriated to his own use some 6001. oflmoney, the property of the Government, and which was entrusted to him for pay ment of general expenses, wages of warders, &c. The salary of the governor is 3501. per annum, besides which he had apaitments on board the hulk, the whole of the poop being appropriated to his use far more room and accom modation being pruvided for him than any admiral possesses on board ship. Many other perquisites and advantages were obtainable, and altogether the value o the office could not be less than 4001. a-year. We are sorry to say that a warder, who of course could ill afford to spare the money, loses St. by the governor's departure, .he latter having borrowed that sum of him a day or two before leaving. Mr. J. Shaw was formerly, we hear, a colour serjeant in the British army ; the title of major was obtained is the Spanish service, in the contest against the claims of Don Carlos. He is an aged man, about 60, married, and has one son. It is impossible to conjecture what could have induced him to sacrifice such a situa tion in such a manner at least. We are told that his expenditure, person?lly, wa3 hardly more than 1001. a year. With regard to the charges brought by - the con victs, so far as ill-treatment are concerned, we believe they as were u ; be sometimes used language that w rough, but u o t u notexeessively so. Captain J. S. War ren, deputy-governor of Milbank Prison, was appointed early in the week to succeed Mr. Shaw in the goveruot. whip ci the Stirling Ca4tle.—liantpthire Telegraph. ively: )area 17. kets, ship Itur eldy hree re in ibed ken near ring and ;on•- ,orn bile the ere ~~~ Shr.
