From Southampton we learn that the Royal mail steam-ship Orinoco, Captain Wilson, has swain been chartered by the Government for conveyance of troops to the East, and will be ready for sea on the 20th inst., on which day the 97th Regiment has been ordered to arrive at Southampton, and embark by this fine steamer. The Orinoco is to take 1,100 men and officers, 16 horses, and a large shipment of ammunition, besides mili tary stores and camp equipage. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Himalaya, Captain A. Kellock, is to leave Southampton on the 22d in stant for Cork, there to embark the sth Dragoon Guards, consisting of 350 men, 30 officers, and 350 horses. The Himalaya will also take out a large quantity of camp equipage, baggage, aims, ammunition, &c. The fittings for the horses are progressing very satisfactorily, and the stalls are being erected on the, main and spar decks. It is anticipated that the Himalaya will convey the Dragoons from Cork to Constantinople in ten days. The General Screw Company's steam-ship Hydaspes is ordered to proceed to Portsmouth to embark troops, and will take out nearly 1,000 men, besides camp equipage, ammunition, stores, &c., and will be ready for sea about the middle or end of next week. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Sultan is expected at South ampton on Sunday 'rom Malta and Constoutinople. The Indus, belonging to the same company, is also daily looked for. Her machinery is disabled, and it is thought she will be assisted on the voyage by the Sultan. The Indus has been employed in carrying troops from Malta to Gallipoli. The Sydney, steam transport-ship, came down from Deptford on Thursday to Woolwich, and was taken into the basin, and yesterday 200 men of the Royal Artillery were employed from 6 o'clock a.m. till noon, in putting on board a portion of a siege battery, consisting of 8- , inch and 24-pounder guns, on travelling carriages, with other warlike stores. These men were relieved by a similar number to continue the duty in the afternoon. The remainder of the 13th Light Dragoons embarked yesterday from Portsmouth Dockyard on board the transports Nos. 60 and 61, which sailed with them in the evening for Turkey. The troops to-day were Capt. Tre mayne's in the Monarchy, and the head-quarters, under the command of Colonel Doherty, in the Harbinger. The other officers of these troops were Lieutenant Smith, Cornets King and Chamberlain, Paymaster Frith, Adjutant Irwin, and Dr. Painter, surgeon. Deputy Medical Inspector Chapman also embarked in the Monarchy. One company of Royal Artillery (Captain Riddle's) embarked yesterday at Portsmouth Dockyard in the Ajax steamer for Cork. The 42d Highlanders will embark at Portsmouth on Thursday next, in the steam-packet Hydaspes, which is now fitting at Southampton, to embark them. The third troop of the 11th Hussars were taken on board the transport-ship War Cloud, at Kingston, near Dublin, on Thursday. The business of the embarkation was conducted in the same regular and orderly manner as on the preceding occasions, and passed off without the slightest accident or drawback of any kind. The depot of the 62d Regiment arrived on Thursday afternoon at the Kingsbridge terminus of then Great Southern and Western Railway , by the four 'clock train, from Fermoy, under the command of Major Mathias, and marched direct to the Royal Barracks. This section of the 62d proceeded next day to Belfast, to replace the remaining companies of the 12th infantry, the head-quarters of which arrived in Dublin on Wed nesday afternoon, and were inspected on Thursday by Major-General Cochrane, at the esplanade in front of the Royal Barracks.

A considerable number of officers of the staff arrived at Malta, on the 2d inst., p e r Ripon, delayed by bad weather, and being complled to bear up for Algiers, to renew her supply of coals. These gentlemen, whose names are as follows, were transferred to the City of London, which vessel left for the eastward on the same evening. The names of the officers are as follows : Brigadier-Generals Airey and Butler, Lieutenant- Colonels Lord W. Paulett and Maule, Majors Airy and M'Kenzie, Captain Morris, Sankey, and Hackett, Lieutenant Clifford, Staff-Surgeon Forteatb, Paymaster J. A. Pope, 47th Regiment ; Assistant-Commissary- Generals Routh and Edwards, Deputy-Assistant-Com missary-Generals Fonblanque, Hawkins, Webb, and Downes. The French steamer Dauphin, having on board Rear- Admiral Lugeol, second in command of the French fleet in the Black Sea, arrived on the 2d inst. He was ac companied by Captains Lecontre and Coreil and two Lieutenants. 45 sailors were also on board. On the 4th at an early hour the head-quarters of her Majesty's 19th Regiment arrived by the Victoria. — Lieutenant-Colonel Unett, commanding, Major M'Gee, Captains Kerr, Rooke, Warden, Bright, Jennings, and Massy, Lieutenants Barrett, Morrison, Clay, Uniacke, Wardluw, Clarke, and Bayley, Ensigns Levett, Scott, Cardew (Adjutant), Phipps, and Stockwell, Paymaster Glendining, Quartermaster Palmer, Surgeon Longmore, Assistant-Surgeons Peile and Webb, 639 rank and file, 10 horses, and 2 women.

Baynes and Graves, Royal Engineers, Assistant- Surgeon Furlong, 39th Regt., 100 rank and file Royal Sappers and Miners, 14 horses, and 1 mule. Marechal St. Arnaud, who left Malta in the evening of his arrival, took the opportunity of reviewing the troops in garrison, the 3d, 62d, and 68th ; and notwith standing their very reduced strength by volunteers to other regiments, the evolutions performed were highly satisfactory, and received the warmest eulogiums from the distinguished visitor. The brigade was commanded by Lieut.-Colonel Van Straubenzee (3d Regiment). A Russian merchant-ship reached Constantinople on the 26th ult., in charge of Lieut. Jones and a part of the crew of her Majesty's ship Retribution, eight days from Odessa. This vessel and 11 others were captured eight days previously outside of Odessa by her Majesty's steam ships Retribution and Niger, and a French steam vessel, five falling to the Retribution, six to the Nile, and one to the French steamer. Some of them were in ballast, others laden with coal, linseed, and flour, and had left Odessa to convey these provisions to the Danube. Two of the prizes were sunk, and a third riddled by the shot of the Retribution. The remaining nine were bound to Malta under officers and crews of the British fleet. A brig of war and a steamer was also chased, but escaped in the Dneister. The Russian merchant barque Carl, prize to the Im pregnable, at Plymouth, having had her sails unbent, was towed from Hamoaze into Catwater by the Con fiance steamer on Thursday. The George Jongeblaed, brought to Gravesend on Thursday as a Russian prize, on investigation is found exempt from capture, and was yesterday declared at Lloyd's to be no prize. The Carl Magnus, Russian prize to her Majesty's steamer Conflict, was yesterday re ported at the Admiralty to have arrived at Hull. The Judge of the High Court of Admiralty yesterday gave public notice on the Royal Exchange that on the 25th inst. the Court would proceed to condemn as lawful captures the Russian ships Zeleus, captured by the Argus revenue steam-sloop, and the Kamschatka, taken by a boat of the Coastguard off Folkestone. Three more Russian prizes have arrived at the Nore on their way to London, namely—the Fidentia, of 300 tons, and 13 men, Selackis master, laden with salt, from Cadiz, bound for Lovisa. She is in charge of Second Master William Buck, of the Tribune. The ships Im perieuse and Leopard were in company when the Fidentia was taken by the Tribune. She arrived at the Nore yesterday morning, and will proceed up the river Thames for the London Ducks. The second prize is the barque Aland, taken by the screw steam-ship of 91 guns the James Watt. The Aland arrived at the Note at midnight on Thursday, and left for the river and ducks at 8 30 a.m. yesterday. The third is the brig Hyara, prize to the paddlewheel steam-sloop the Gorgon, Commander Arthur Cum mingle The- Hyara arrived- at.-Sheerness -yesterday morning, and will also proceed for the river and docks. The Russian prisoners brought home from the Baltic by her Majesty's steamer Tribune are now on board the Crocodile receiving ship, off the Tower, until they obtain berths on board British ships in the merchant service. The Janus, 4 guns, paddlewheel steam vessel, Lieu tenant Commander Colin Kane, arrived at Sheerness, from Portsmouth, at 2 p.m. yesterday. The Janus has on board the Russian seamen and officers from the prizes that were taken into Portsmouth. They are all to be put on board the receiving ship Crocodile, to be formally liberated. The Tribune, 31 guns, screw steam-frigate, Captain the Hon. S. T. Carnegie, will be out of the shipwrights' hands this evening, and will be ready to leave Sheerness for sea on Tuesday or Wednesday next. The Waterwich, 8 guns, sloop, Commander Alan H. Gardner, has put out all her ammunition and shells, rockets, &c., and is now waiting at Sheerness for Admi ralty orders. It is reported her officers and crew are all to be turned over to the 16-gun sloop Siren, now in the fitting basin here. Should this prove true, Commander Gardner will soon have a full complement of seamen volunteers to make up the increased number she would require for the increase of her armament to that of the Waterwitch. Her blue jackets are much delighted, and say " they fear it is too good news to be true." The crew of the Waterwich have their daily leave con tinued, and are most prompt in their return in due time. To the credit of the ship's company there has only been one solitary case of drunkenness, and that has arisen by spirits being smuggled into the ship. The African steam vessel, in charge of Mr. John Jackson, Assistant-Master-Attendant of the yard at Sheerness, left Sheerness yesterday with a party of 41 rig gers who proceed to Woolwich to be in attendance on the Royal Albert, 131 guns, to be launched at Woolwich to day. The Myrtle steam-vessel, Master-Commander William S. Bouchier, left Sheerness last evening for the same purpose, and will assist in towing her down here immediately after she is launched. Preparations have been made to receive her on arrival into No. 3 dry dock. In consequence of her extreme length the dock-gate will remain open after she is put into dry dock, and the cais soon will be sunk into the groove at the extreme entrance of the dock. The masts, spars, rigging, and sails have all been made at Sheerness, and are ready for her on her arrival. The Resistance, 10, troopship, Master-Commander Manser Bradshaw, while at Portsmouth, was fitted most efficiently and commodiously as a troopship, under the immediate arrangements of Commander Bradshaw, and is capable of carrying 600 troops. She is now loading at Sheerness with provisions, stores, ammunition, shell, shot, &c., for the fleet in the Baltic. Her second Mas ter (Mr. Matthew Richards) has been sent to Melville Hospital with intermittent fever. The Resistance will complete her loading in a few days from the victualling stores under charge of Mr. Thomas Hockings, Pay master. The Formidable, 84 guns, Captain-Superintendent Christopher Wyvil, was yesterday taken into the fitting basin to complete her fitment as guardship of ordinary at Sheerness. The Fearless, paddle-wheel steam-vessel, has been taken into the basin at Sheerness to make good defects of machinery, &c. The seamen volunteers and first-class boys borne on the books of the Waterloo, 120 guns, flagship, Captain Lord Frederick Kerr, are daily sent on shore for target practice at the great gun used by the Coast Guard for practice on Sheerness garrison beach. The great accu racy with which they lay their guns and fire is highly creditable to their training officers, and equally so to themselves. Her Majesty's frigate Portland, 50, was towed into Plymouth harbour on Thursday morning by the Con fiance and Pike steam-vessels. She is to be paid off forthwith. Rear-Admiral Hope Johnstone the same day hoisted his flag, white at the mizen, on board her, under the cust omar y salutes from the Royal William, 120, Capt. Kingcombe, and the Impregnable, 104. The Ehadarnanthus steam-vessel sailed on Thursday from Plymouth, with stores for Chatham. The Sprightly steamer arrived at Plymouth on Thurs day from Portsmouth. Lieut. Lindsay commissioned the Harpy, 4, iron steam-vessel, at Portsmouth, yesterday afternoon, for the flag of Rear-Admiral Boxer, in the Bosphorus.

BOMBARDMENT OF ODESSA. OFFICIAL DESPATCHES. (From the London Gazette of last Night.) ADMIRALTY, MAY 11. Despatches have been received at this office from Vice- Admiral Dundas, Commander-in-Chief of her Majesty's ships and vessels in the Mediterranean and Black Sea, of which the following are copies : No. 172. Britannia,' off Odessa, April 22 . Sir,—l beg you will lay before the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty the accompanying Correspondence, rela tive to the fire of the batteries at Odessa on the Furious and her boat, when - flying, each a flag of truce, which will, I trust, fully explain to their lordships the exact nature of this uncivilised act of aggression, and the false statements by which General Osten-;;Nlacken has been led to justify it. Anti as, in addition to the fortress of Odessa, the Russians were labouring day and night in strefigthenil,g thvi Mores and erecting formidable sea defences, and had also collected between 20 and 30,000 men for the protection of this military depot, as well as for the security of vessels seeking shelter under the guns of the place, Admiral Hame lin and I decided on sending the joint demand to the Go vernor, of which the Enclosure No. 5 is a copy. As no answer had been received up to 7 a.m. this morn ing, the combined steam division noted in the margin,* with 6 rocket-boats, under the immediate orders of Capt. Jones, opened fire on the Imperial Fort and Mole, and Russian vessels lying there By 3 p.m. the magazine was blown up, the forts were destroyed, and the ships sunk or burnt. The city of Odessa, and the Mole containing the mer chant-vessels of all nations were not molested, agreeably to the commands of her Majesty to respect private pro perty as much as possible. Our loss has happily been small—one killed and ten wounded ; and the damage to the ships by the enemy's fira can be repaired at sea. It is my pleasing duty to state, that between the two squadrons the greatest cordiality exists, and that the con duct of the French steam-frigates calls for ray warmest praise. The Vauban was set on fire by red-hot shot, but by the cool courage and activity of her captain and crew, the fire was extinguished. I recommend all the officers, seamen, and Royal Marines, employed on the service, to their lordships' notice, parti cularly Captain Jones, the senior of the steam division, and Commander Dickson, of the Britannia, who, in charge ' of the rocket-boats, did good service. I enclose a copy of a letter which I have received from t Captain Jones, and a list of the killed and wounded. —I have, Rte. (Signed) J. W. D. DIINDAS, Vice-Admiral. , The Secretary of the Admiralty.

The aide-do-camp, General Baron d'Osten Sacken be lieves it his duty to express to Admiral Dundas his sur prise to hear it asserted that from the port of Odessa they have fired on the Fury- frigate when covered by a flag of truce. On the arrival of the Fury, two blank guns were fired, in consequence of which the vessel hoisted the national flag, and stopped out of gun shot : immediately there left her a boat under a white flag, proceeding in the direction of the Mole, where it was received by the officer on duty, who, on the question of the English officer, replied that the English Consul had already left Odessa. Without further conversation, the boat retook the direction of the vessel, but as it went to rejoin her, the frigate, awaiting her, advanced in the direction of the M ole, leaving the boat to the left, and approached the batt eries within gun-shot. i n place of It was then that the Commandant of the Battery: of the Mole, faithful to his orders to prevent all enemies' vessels of war to come within shot, felt it his duty to longer on a flag of truce, which had been r es p ected until the end of its mission, but on an enemy's ve ssel which ad vanced too near the land after having received, by the two first bank guns, intimation to stop. fire, no h This simple exposition of facts, such as they have been reported to his Majesty the Emperor, ought to destroy of itself the supposition, otherwise inadmissible, that in the ports of Russia they do not respect a flag of truce, of which the inviolability is guaranteed by laws common to all civi lised nations.

"DITBLIC CONFIDENCE.- It matters but little how the Russians may act in defiance of England and France; public confidence is not likely to be shaken: the money is forthcoming for any event; the eagerness to invest on natonal reeurity is quite unprecedented.

Her Majesty's ship Furious, off Odessa, April 21, 1854. Sir,- I have carefully read the letter of the Governor of Odessa, on the subject of the batteries having fired at the flag of truce, on Saturday, April 8. His statement is entirely untrue. On that occasion her Majesty's ship under my command made Odessa at day light, and at 0.50 a.m., when at about four miles' distance, the English colours and a flag of truce were hoisted. It was not until at least 20 minutes afterwards (about past 6 A.il) that two blank guns were fired from the battery. As I considered these guns as an intimation that I was not to proceed any further, the engines were immediately stopped, and the helm put hard a-port, and from that time until the return of the boat the wheels were not again moved, and the ship gradually drifted off shore, in consequence of the moderate N.W. wind which was blow ing off the shore and on her port beam. Her stern was towards the Lazaretto, and I carefully abstained from opening the main-deck ports, or clearing away the upper deck bulwarks, so that there should not be the slightest indication of hostility on my , part. Seven allotted guns were fired ; the first one was evi dently intended for the boat (then about a mile off shore), as it fell about 60 or 70 yards short of her, and she was then somewhat to the southward of the line between the battery and the ship. The remainder, which all fell short, may have been intended for either boat or ship, as she pulled more into the straight line. Lieutenant Alexander when at the mole asked to see the English Consul ' • he was told that he was n ot d ow n there. and that it was too early, and that the captain of the port would be sent off, and he was desired to return to his ship. He asked if the English Consul was still at Odessa; he was again told by the officer of the guard to return to the ship, and by a person who acted as interpreter in Eng lish, " that he was not permitted to say anything more."

(Enclosure No. 3.) Evidence taken with regard to the Russian Forts at Odessa firing on the Boat of her Majesty's Steam-frigate Furi ous with a flag of truce. On the morning of Saturday, the Bth April, I saw an English man of war come into the Roads of Odessa, with a flag of truce flying at the fore. I then observed a boat, with a flag of truce in the bows, leave the ship, and pull towards the shore. I was present when the boat arrived at the back part of the Mole. There were two Government offiers there, when, through an interpreter, the officer of the boat was asked his business. He replied that he had come to take the English Consul away. He was informed he had left several days ; and, to the best of my belief, the following was the conversation that passed between them. Afterwards the in terpreter said the authorities were not down from the town, and that he had better return to his ship, and come back again in an hour, or an hour and a half. The boat then left the shore, and set sail towards the ship. I walked a little distance from the spot where the above conversation took place ; in a few minutes I observed some excitement and bustle on a six-gun battery at the back of the Mole; I then turned and looked towards the battery, and from thence to the boat she was about three-fourths of the dis tance between the shore and the man-of-war steamer; at that moment a shot was fired from the battery before men tioned, and I observed it nearly struck the boat ; a soldier then ran down from the six-gun battery towards the bat tery on the Mole head, and immediately allotted guns were fired from both batteries to the steamer ; ai nearly as I can recollect seven shots were fired at the man-of-war and the boat ; it was reported on shore that one shot struck the steamer's paddle-box ; when the boat reached the ship the steamer left the roads without firing a shot. Dated on board the Britannia, off Odessa, April 21,18.54., (Signed) JNo. CRUTWELL, Barque Lavinia, I hereby certify that the above statement is perfectly correct. (Signed) JNO. Tars. ' • Barque Princess. (Enclosure No. 4.) Tier Britannic Majesty's Ship Britannia, off Odessa, April 21, 1854. Vice-Admiral Dundas has had the honour to receive from General Baron D'Osten Sacken, a note purporting to be an explanation of a fire from the batteries at Odessa having been opened upon her Britannic Majesty's steam vessel Furious, and her boat, on the Bth instant, both having a flag of truce flying at the time. Vice-Admiral Dundas regrets that the statements made to General Baron Osten Sacken are not in accordance with the facts substantiated by evidence before the Vice- Admiral, and he has still more to regret that so wafiton and uncivilized an act of aggression should have been per petrated by the forces under the orders of General Baron D'Osten Sacken. (Enclosure No. 5). Off Odessa, April 21, 1854. Sir,—Considering that the letterof your Excellency, dated the 14th April, and which has only been received by us this morning, contains only erroneous statements in justi ficatiop of the unqualifiable aggression of which the autho rities of Odessa have been guilty, with respect to one of our frigates and her boat, both of them bearing a flag of truce. Considering that notwithstanding this flag, the batteries of that city have tirectseveral shot, as well at the frigate as at the boat, at the time that the latter had quitted'the Mole where it had arrived with perfect confidence. The two Vice-Admirals, Commanding in Chief the com bined squadrons of England and France, believe .them selves entitled , to exact reparation from your Excellency. In consequence, all the English, French, and Russian vessels, now anchored near the fortress or batteries of Odessa, must be delivered immediately to the two com bined squadrons. If at sunset the two Vice-Admirals should not receive any answer, or should have received a negative, they will be obliged to have recourse to force to revenge the insult that bas been committed against the flag of one of v the combined squadrons, although the interests of humanity lead them to adopt, with great regret, this last resolution, of which they throw the responsibility upon him who has the right to bear it. (Signed) HAMELIN. J. W. D. DuNnAs. (Enclosure No. 6.) Her Majesty's Ship Sampson, off Odessa, . • ' April 22, 1854. SlR,—Herewith I have the honour to forward a list of casualties sustained on board her Majesty's ship under my command, in the attack and destruction of the fort and shipping in Port Imperial this day, and I avail myself of the opportunity to express my entire satisfaction at the conduct of the steam division which you did me the honour of placing under my command. siVirmaamigatzrent• of the several - ships, in- close pro:tin:ay to each other, and in very shallow water, manceuvring for several hours, required the mast vigilant attention, and were executed without an accident ; but as these proceed ings were under your own immediate eye, it is not requi site for me to say more on such and similar particulars. The French steamer Vauban was obliged to retire at an early period of the attack in consequence of some red hot shot from the batteries, having made a lodgement in the lining of the ship, but as soon as the fire could be extin guished, she returned to her post in the attack. The conduct of this ship's company was such as might be expected of a British crew devoted to their Queen and country, and the arrangements in 'detail by Lieutenant Shute B. Piers, first of this ship, had provided for every exigency. The precision with which the captains of the guns took aim elicited my warmest commendation during the attack, and did full justice to the care and correctness with which Lieutenant E. McArthur, R.M.A., prepared the fuzees for the required range ; as marksmen, William Barker, gun ner's mate, and John Edwards, sailmaker, were especially noticeable. Thg engine was worked with that steady obedience to order which has at all times distinguished the conduct of Mr. Jago, whether under fire or otherwise. The division of rocket-boats under Commander Dickson were admirably managed, and contributed most essentially to the success of the day. The ships and vessels in Port Imperial amounted to about 24, most of which being sunk or on fire at the time of your making the recall, and the explosion of the bat tery on the pier head, rendered further operations in that quarter unnecessary.

Mr. Stonor's letter and testi monials came to him in the usual form—that is to say, after baying passed through the hands of Mr. Merivale and Mr. Peel. He glanced over the testimonials, and satisfied himself that they were favourable and genuine. The printed statement about the fourth resolution of the Sligo Election Committee was enclosed in au un sealed unvelope, tied round with a bit of riband, and attached to the testimonials. He believed it be one of the testimonials, and passed it over as such at the time. Mr. Moore—Well, did it not occur to your Grace that something more was wanted on Mr. Stonor's part than a knowledge of conveyancing and equity? The Duke of Newcastle—Mr. Stonor stated in his letter of application that he had learnt from Chief Justice , A'Beckett (Melbourne), who informed him of the existence of the vacancy, that it was very desirable that the gentle man to be appointed should be ” conversant with the law of real property and our system of equity." Moreover, some of the testimonials I received (that from Sir John Stuart, for instance) recommended Mr. Stonor especially with reference to the situation in question, and as possess ing the requisites of a judge in Victoria. I could not but rely on the opinions of such men, and I gave the appoint ment on the strength of them, although I had never heard of Mr. Stonor. Mr. Moore—Did anybody else recommend Mr. Stonor! The Duke of Newcastle—Yes. Mr. Moore—Who ? The Duke of Newcastle—Mr. Merivale, of the Colonial office. Mr. Moore—Anybody else ? Duke of Newcastle (coolly)—No. (A laugh ) Mr. Moore then quitted the subject, and proceeded to question his Grace about his connexion with the Irish elections of 18 - .3. In answer to the questions put to him, his Grace sa id th a t he took no more part in those elections than was taken I, politi cs . H. had e every one who was at all interested in property or per s on a l conn ex i on fee Ireland. H e never no property Mr. John Ball or aneT one else to contest Carlow,and should ce rt a i n ly sa y, that he never had any conversation as to the propriety o f his standing at all with any gentleman forthe borough of Dungarvan, tere for that borough. As w candidates in the field th ere , Mr. Maguire, 3oarrigi O'Flaherty,lly three and Mr. Alexander Hope. M r . O'Flaherty' called upon him one morning and informed hi m th a t h e had been in the field for three or four days, of which he (the Duke of Newcastle) had previously known nothing. Mr. O'Flaherty explained to him that Mr. Hope and he were nearly, duel altogether, of the same opinion, and begged him to use his influence with his friends in Ireland to procure Mr. Hope's withdrawal, lest through their fighting one another the seat should go to Mr. Maguire. He (the Duke of New castle) replied that he did not know at all whether 34r. Hope or Mr. O'Flaherty was the most eligible, but he should do his best. Accordingly, he made a verbal com munication to Mr. Hope, through a friend; and there began and there ended his interference in the Dungarvan election. The Committee here objected that they did not see what all this had to do with Mr. Henry Stonor, but the Duke appealed to them to allow the matter to go on to its utmost possible limits. There were insinuations contained in the questions put to him which ought to be followed out, although he was not aware of having taken any interest in Irish elections derogatory to his position, either as a peer of the realm, a Minister of the Crown, or a gentleman. He knew nothing of the subsequent circumstances of Mr. Ma guire's resignation and re-election. One morning Mr. O'Flaherty called, and begged a few minutes' conversation, which he willingly accorded. From the turn the conver sation took, he was induced to stop Mr. O'Flaherty and tell him that ho suspected he bad come hi fact to ask his advice about effecting a compromise between Mr. Maguire and him ; that that was a thing with which ho (the Duke of Newcastle) would have nothing whatever to do, and that such a transaction was one whiJi, in the case of a relation, he should feel himself bound to oppose by every means in his power. Mr. O'Flaherty admitted that that had been the object of his visit, and the matter ended there. Ho interested himself in the election for the county of Dublin. ; to the extent of calling on a gentleman of that county, a friend of his then in London, to ask him to give his support to Mr. A. Craven, one of the unsuccessful candidates, and he believed that his friend did give to Mr. Craven what sup port he could. He also spoke to a gentleman, a friend of his, who was also a friend of Mr. Norton's, to try to induce that gentleman to withdraw from the last contest for Athlone. i hat gentleman, he believed, spoke to Mr. Norton on the sub ject, but unsuccessfully. He never saw Mr. Keogh on the /subject of his own or any other election. He did not inter fere to any extent whatever in the election for Sligo.. He took just that interest in it that he had taken at breakfast that morning in the Devonport election. He was glad to see that a supporter of the Government was returned instead of a supporter of the Opposition. But, even supposing that Mr. Henry Stonor had been recommended to him by Mr. Sadleir, Mr. Townley, Mr. Keogh, or others, he must pro test against any interference unfair to the Secretary of State being deduced therefrom, for it was generally be lieved that Parliamentary recommendations were indispen 'able to the obtaining such situations as that in question, aid it often happened that the most fitting candidates were recommended by members of Parliament. Mr. Stoner's a pplication was received on the 30,11 of November, 1353. Re was not appointed till the 20th of December. That de; lay had been caused by his (the Duke of Newcastle's) anx iety to find, if possible, a more qualified candidate. He had thought of moving to Australia Judge Lee, of Baha ;ea, who (such was the nature of the climate), bad had the misfortune to bLry every one of his family there, and was only retained in the colony by the impos sibility of gaining his bread elsewhere. He (the Duke of _N ewcastle) was earneritly desirous of befriend ing Judge Lee, and spoke to Mr. Merivale about sending him in place of Mr. Stonor, but the uncertainty of perma nence and the possibility of casting a friend penniless upon the world had induced him to refrain from advising the judge to move. He hoped the committee would do him the justice to call and examine his private secretary as to this and every other appointment he had made, as he could not but feel that this was the only possible way of clearing his character from imputations that had been most un justly cast upon it. (Cheers.) If any blame or discredit attached to any one in the matter, it was to him alone. Mr. Peel ought to be entirely exonerated. That gentleman represented the Colonial-office in the House of Commons, but was in no way responsible for any appointment. His only responsibility was to him (the Duke of Newcastle). Mr. Peel was a most indefatigable public servant, and was of the greatest possible use in the situation he held. He hoped,they would examine Mr. Peel. No communication at all had passed between thorn on the subject, and neither knew what the other would say. So anxious had he (the Duke of Newcastle) been that this should be tho case, that when he saw Mr. Peel there that morning he had begged of him not to remain during his (the Duke of Newcastle's) examination,—a thing which Mr. Peel had never any intention to do. The most painful part of all this business was that he had been obliged to write to the Governor of Victoria that he should not be able to confirm the appointment of the gentleman he had sent out. At first it did not appear to him that the cir cumstances were strong enough to warrant that step, but the tone of the speeches in the House of Commons, espe cially the use made by Mr. Divott of the term " discredit able," proved to him that circumstances had changed. He felt that where an election committee spoke through their chairman, irrespective of the question of unanimity or majority in that committee, it was the bounden duty of every one connected with the Legislature, and still more a member of the Government, to support their verdict to the utmost, if it was really wished to put down bribery. He felt that, had Mr. Divett's speech gone out to Australia a it would have so excited the feeling s of the colonists that it would have been utterly impossi ble to convince them he that Mr. Stoner was not still more cul p able oven than They would have at tane ju ped was reported to be. pointed \ not at and clung to the idea that he bad been ap t of, his e of, but on accoun only in the knowled g e be had been ap dishonourable conduct ; whereasf the first judges in the pointed on the recommendation bo.. ed that ho might be kingdom. The noble Duke thena g a g ish to put any further again sentfor should the committee the weight of his two questions to him. Notwithstandingoffices ofSecretary War and Colonial just now, ho should be happy to afford any informati on and ex p lan ations in Gmee then left the hi the p co the members os ower. is • room, mm itt e e remaining standing he passed the door. Mr. Frederick reel corrobor a ted g e nerally the evidenc e given by the Duke of Newcastle. When he stated in the House of Commons that the Government did not see they would be justified in cancelling the appointment of Mr. Stonor, be ought rather to have spoken for himself person ally. The Duke had said to him shortly before that his impression was that the appointment ought not to be can celled, but whether his Grace had then seen the report of the Sligo Committee he could not say. At the same time, he had not been very correctly reported. Mr. Moore stated that he should like to call all the noblemen and gentlemen who had given testimonials to Mr. Stonor, that he might question them as to the know ledge of his antecedents. The room was then cleared, and the committee after wards adjourned to Monday at one o'clock. [PRICE SD. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, liar 12.

Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert having, according to the tenour of the invitations issued, "deigned to honour the French Ambassador and the Countess Walewski with their company on Friday, the 12th of May, at a bal costume," the utmost exertions were made by their Excellencies, assisted by the general superintendence of M. De Saux, the senior secretary of the Embassy in this country, to render this fete worthy of the exalted presence with which it was honoured, and of the gallant and accomplished nation of which the Count is the representative. The new residence of the Embassy, formerly known as Gibraltar-house, the quon dam domicile of Mr. Hudson, but now called Albert gate-house, has been in course of preparation for some weeks past, and every resource of artistic and floral decoration was put into requisition, and an effect produced, which even to those familiar with the magnificent suite of State apart ments at Sutherland-house and other principal man sions of the nobility, could not but excite surprise and admiration, when the (comparatively speaking) limited s:ze of the mansion is considered. In the arrange ment and decoration of these fetes our Parisian neigh bours have established a renown which it is hopeless for any other capital to attempt to rival, and this fete at the French Embassy will certainly not detract from their well-earned reputation. The whole State apartments had undergone a complete metamorphosis, and the beau tiful arrangement of the flow Ors, the elegance of the form, the exquisite selection of the colour of the draperies, and the novel and brilliant illuminations, were themes of universal admiration throughout the rooms. The visitors were directed to appear en costume, and to arrive at the Embassy at 9 o'clock precisely, in order that all might be in readiness for the reception of the Queen and Prince. At half-past 9 o'clock the Marquis of Breadalbane, the Queen's Lord Chamberlain ; Lord Ernest (Bruce, the Queen's Vice-Chamberlain ; the Duke of Wellington, her Majesty's Master of the Horse ; and Earl Spencer, the Lord Steward of the Royal Household, arrived at the Embassy, and having made the tour of the State rooms, retired to a room on the ground-flour to await the arrival of the Queen. These noblemen were 'all dressed in the full State Household uniform, it being un derstood that neither the Queen nor Prince, the Royal Family, nor the Ladies and Gentlemen of the Queen's ' Household in attendance on her Majesty, would appear in costume. At ten o'clock her Majesty and Prince Albert arrived at the Embassy. The royal cortege consisted of four of the State carriages, the attendants being in the same State liveries as when her Majesty opens Parliament, with an escort of a squadron of the Ist Life Guards, under the command of Captain Lord Francis Gordon. The Queen was attended by the Duchess of Sutherland, the Mistress of the Robes, who rode in the carriage with the Queen and Prince, Lady Jocelyn, two maids of honour, Misses Macdonald and Cavendish ; Lord Rivers, Sir F. Stovin, and Colonel Bouverie. Prince Albert was attended by Lord Torrington, Captain Du Platt, and Colonel Wylde, R.A. Her Majesty was dressed in an ordinary ball dress, composed of pink crape over pink satin. The dress was ornamented with bunches of roses and green leaves running round the dress near the bot tom, and was trimmed with white lace. The Queen wore a tiara of diamonds on the top of the head, and at the back a number of small pink roses. The Prince wore a military uniform with Blue Riband of the Order of the Garter with the George in diamonds, and the Order of the Golden Fleece, also set in jewels. The ladies of the Queen's suite wore ordinary ball dresses, the Duchess of Sutherland wearing a dress of Indian gold tissue, made with great simplicity, having no other trimming than a few blush roses in the front. The style of head-dress was similar ,to that of the Queen—a tiara of diamonds and blush roses at the back of the head. Lady Jocelyn wore a pink ball dress, with a head. dress of diamond stars. . . _ The appearance of the Queen and Royal family and their respective suites in the fashion of the day made the Royal groups easily distinguishable among the gay and fanciful dresses of the general company by which they were surrounded—dresses of the greatest magnificence, and in almost every variety of design, but which were far too numerous and too elaborate for description in our columns. Her Majesty was received on alighting from her car• riage by the Count and Countess Walewski and her own great officers of State, and, conducted by the Ambas sador and ushered by the Lord Chamberlain, reached the elevated seats prepared for her, the Prince, and the rest of the Royal family, through the gay and brillant throng, who tendered the homage of their respect durinv her Majesty's passage. Laurent's quadrille band was sta -1 tioned in the ball-room, and immediately alter the Queen's arrival dancing commenced, various costunie quadrilles being danced in the course of the evening. The other members of the Royal family present were— the Duchess of Kent and Cambridge and the Princess Mary of Cambridge, who were dressed in ordinary ball dresses. M. Van de Weyer, the senior Foreign Minister ac credited to the British Court, M. 31usurus, the Turkish Minister, and the whole of the corps diplomatique and their ladies were present, and the invitations extended to ail the members of the Administration, the great officers of State, the leading members of the two Houses of Parliament, and a numerous party of the nobility and gentry. PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES. THE CASE OF MR. HENRY STONOR. This committee re-assembled yesterday. Mr. G. H. Moore sat as a member for the purpose of conducting the case; no member appeared as representing the defence. The proceedings began by an application from Mr. Eyston, of Gray's-inn, London, who said ho had formerly acted as Mr. Stonor's solicitor, but now attended as his friend. In the course of the proceedings he should beg the permission of the committee to make suggestions to them ou Mr. Stonor's behalf as to facts within his know ledge, should circumstances render it advisable that ho should do so. Mr. Sotheron replied that the committee entirely dis claimed having Mr. Stonor's conduct in question before them. At the same time Mr. Eyston might remain in the room, and if any fresh imputation should be cast upon Mr. Stonor, he would bo at liberty to make to the committee any application he might decide upon. Mr. Moore then proceeded to examine the Duke of New castle, who had already taken his seat in the witness-box. His Grace began by saying that he concurred in the state ment made in the House of Commons by Mr. Peel, that Mr. Stonor's appointment was given him entirely on account of his professional attainments. A letter wasreceived from the then Governor of Victoria, Mr. Latrobe, on the 19th of August, 1853, to the effect that a temporary puisne judge was wanted at 1,5001, a-year during a tenure of office, and that there was a prospect of his receiving a similar place of a permanentnature. The appointment lay properly with Mr. Latrobe, but as there was no gentleman in the colony whom he thought himself justified in appointing as suf. ficiently qualified, he wrote home, begging that the Co lonial-office would send out a gentleman whom he might appoint. Mr. Moore—Would not a considerable knowledge of common law, and of the practice of courts, be an indispen sable qualification for such a gentleman ? The Duke of Newcastle—The duties of this gentleman were to be civil as well as criminal. Mr. Moore—Mr. Stonor was a conveyancer ? 'Tie Duke of Newcastle—Yes. Mr. Moore—Are you aware of any precedent in this cou ntry of a conveyancer being a pp ointed to a place such as the ono in question ? The Duke of Newcastle—l have no knowledge on the subject. Mr. Moore—ls it not desirable that you should have a knowledge on the subject? The Duke of Newcastle—l do not consider myself quali fied to decide on the merits of the judges to be appointed. I should be guided by the opinions of those who were conversant with such matters. The Governor's letter was received on the 19th of August, 1853. He (the Duke of Newcastle) did not immediateiy set on foot a series of inquiries, with a view of finding a properly qualified per -1 sou to send out, because in such matters it was the custom MR.
