ARTHUR GORDON (son of the Earl of Aber deen) took the oaths and his seat for Beverley, in the room of the Hon. F. C. Lawley, appointed Governor of South Australia. The hon. member was introduced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mr Hayter. The Lords' amendments to the Oxford Poor Rate Bill were considered and agreed to. Sir•J: WALMSLEY (in the absence of Mr. Hume) presented a petition from the Sheridan Club, expressing regret that intemperance prevailed to a frightful extent in this country, and suggesting as a mean, of remedying. it that Marlborough-house, the British Museum, and other similar institutions should be opened on Sundays. Mr. HEYWOOD presented a petition from a place in Staffordshire, praying for the introduction and use of affirmations instead of oaths. , RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT SECURITIES BILL, The house went into committee on this bill. Lord D. STUART said the Solicitor-General had put an amendment on the paper, which adopted the principle of his bill, but which struck out all his words. (Laugh. ter.) He felt disposed to adopt the amendment of the hon. and learned gentleman, and he should therefore O'er no opposition to it. • -• Lord PALMERSTON (in the absence of the Solicitor General) moved' the clause as amended by the hon. and learned gentleman, which was as follows :—.‘" Leave out the words of the bill after the words 'as follows, in 7th line, and insert the following enactments :—lf, during the continuance of hostilities between her Ma jesty and the Emperor of Russia, any British subject shall, in any country, - wilfully or knowingly take, ac quire, become possessed of, or interested in, any stocks, funds, scrip, bonds, debentures, or securities for money, which, since the 29th day of March; 1854, have or bath been, or which, during the continuance of hos tilities as aiOresaid, shall be created, issued, entered into, or secured by or in the name of the Govern ment of Russia, or any person or persons on its behalf, every person so taking, acquiring, becoming possessed of,' or interested in, any such stocks, funds, scrip, bonds, debentures, or securities for money, as aforesaid, shall be guilty of a misdemeanour, and, upon being convicted .thereof, shall be imprisoned for a term of not less than three calendar months. Pro vided always, • That the provisions of this Act shall not extend to or include the case of a Britiiih subject claiming an interest in the estate or effects of any deceased person, or the case of a Bri tish subject taking the estate or eff cts of his debtor in execution, or the case of a British subject claiming in any country to be interested under any bankruptCy, insolvency, sequestration, cessio bonorum, or disposition of property in trust for creditor,, but that in every such case the British subjeet may take and re ceive any share, legaby, dividend, debt, or sum of money due or belongiag to him, notwithstanding that the same may arise from or be produced by the sate or proceeds of any such stocks, funds, scrip, bonds, debentures, or securities for money as aforesaid." After a short discussion, Lord DUDLEY STUART'S clauses were struck out, and that prop ,sed ivy the SoLICITuR•GENERAL was read a first time. On the motion that this clause be read a second time, Mr. T. HANKEY opposed the clause, as being a direct interference with private property. He enter tained as strong an aversion to assisting the Emperor of Russia in the war as any member of the house, but he contended the present was not the proper mode of attempting to cripple the resourses of Russia. He be lieved that it would be futile in opera,tion, and that it would prove to be a paltry sy-itein of legislation. After a discus , ion, in which Mr. Wilson, Lord Pal- , Merston, Mr. Giyn, and the Attorney-General took Part; Mr. BARING strongly opposedithe bill, and said he approved of a suggestion thrown cut by the Attorney- General, to frame a bill, leaving the power to deal with this question to the Queen and Council. He caused at good deal. of merriment by his comments on the his tory of this bill, which was brought in by the noble lord the member for Maryleboce (Lord D. Stuart), opposed by the noble lord the Horne' Secretary, supported by the honourable gentleman the Secretary to the Treasury (Mr. Wilson), then taken under the pro tection of the Solicitor-General, and to-day disapproved of by the Attorney-General, This was only another Proof of the truth of the saying—" What little wisdom was required to govern a country." (Hear, and a laugh.) Lord J. RUSSELL defended the principles of the bill, and the conduct of his colleagues and himself in reference to it. He denied (as had been asserted by the honourable member, Mr. Baring) that he (Lord J. Russell) or hi s noble friend (Lord Palmerston) had been animated by personal animosity towards the - n4saperor of Russia, for during the greater portion of the time he and his noble friend had been in office friendly relations had been maintained with Russia; but when that Monarch thought fit to break the peace of Europe, he (Lord J. Russell) and his _noble friend bad thought it their duty to speak warmly in reference to the conduct of Russia, and while the Emperor of Russia pursued such conduct be (Lord J. Russell) would consider it his duty to denounce that conduct. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WALPOLE considered that this bill as it now stood, could not be practically carried into operation. The Government should bring in a general measure to apply to any country with which we might be at war, instead of directing a bill like the present against one particular country, as this bill would be irritating and mischievous as regarded British commerce, and imperative in the desired effect. (Hear.) After a few remarks front Mr. WARREN in support of the bill, Mr. BRIGHT said the noble lord the Lord Presi dent and his colleague the member for Tiverton, were the only statesmen in Europe who had condescended to use personal vituperation towards the Emperor of Rus sia. Their conduct in this respect was strongly contrasted by the conduct of the French Government arid the press of France also on this subject adopted a tone far more in accord with decency and propriety than the press of this country. He (Mr. Bright) contended there were a hundred ways in which this bill might be evaded ; while on the other hand it would be a trap to those who had no dishonest intention. He believed this bill was pri vately laughed at by every member of the house. (Hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL eatirely denied the imputation of his having spoken with personal vituperation towards the Einperir of Russia. Me had never done so, but had spoken only in reference to acts done under the autho rity of that monarch. (Hear.) Lord PALMERSTON also repudiated the charge of private enmity t iwards the Emperor of Russia imputed to hint (Lord Palmerston) and his noble friend (Lord J. Russell) by the hon. member for Huntingdon (Mr. Baring) and the hon. member who spoke last (Mr. Bright). Such charges and such imputations were the jargo n that had been used for years by those who op- Posed the policy of England ; but he was astonished that the hon. member for Hunti igilon, of all men, should Make himself the organ of such a party ; for that hon. member, who, as it was well known, was the private agent of Russia in this country, should of all men be the Most abstinent in making such imputations. Mr. BARING explained. He told the noble lord (Lord Palmerston) that he waanot the private agent in this country of the Emperor of Russia. The fiim of which he was a member had negotiated loans for the Emperor of Russia ; but in no sense could he be called the private agent of that sovereign. After a brief explanation from Lord PALMERSTON and Lord J. RUSSELL, Mr. DISRAELI said no one could doubt that no per son in this country had been more the subject of calumny some five or six years ago than.the noble lord the Lord President. And who was the person who directed that stream of caluitiny against the noble lord ? Why, it was the noble earl at present at the head of the Govern ment- (hear, a n d a l aug h)— ari d o f w h om t h e no bl e l or d tile Lord President was now one of the colleagues. (Hear.) This showed the extreme rood nature of the noble lord, a quality of which he seemed to possess a large Supply. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) .Mr. V. SMITH d eprecated discussing at this period 0 f the session such a bill as this, and he thought it Would be much better for the Government to bring in a general bill on the subject, titan to waste time in discuss ing this bill, upon which nob o dy cou ld rely to be opera tive. Mr. MASSEY moved that the chairman report Progress : Lord D. STUART opposed, and , Lord SEYMUUR supported, the motion for seport ing program. -7—Theclmmittee then divided, when the numbers were : For the motion to report progress 3O Against it BB .Majority against —s3 The clause was then read a second time. Sir F. KELLY,expressed his rezret that he was not in the house earlier, but he would take this the earliest opportunity to state his objection to this bill, which he alt. , gether disapproved of. • Lord D. STUART hoped as the law officers of the Crown had inserted a new clause in his bill, the Govern ment would now take the responsibility of the -bill out of his hands. . Lord PALMERSTON agreed to this suggestion. The bill then passed through committee and was re ported,- and ordered to be pnoted. • " • The Court of Chancery 8.11 passo through committee, as did also the Judgment Execution, &c., Bill. The Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes Bill also passed through committee, and the house resumed. The National Gallery (Dublin) Bill was read a second time. The Court of Chancery (County Palatine of Lancaster) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Prisoners' Removal Bill was read a third time and .passed. MILITIA BALLOTS SUSPENSIpN BILL. This bill a:so passed through committee. PUBLIC REVENUE AND . CONSOLIDATED FUND CHARGES BILL. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the second reading of this bill. Mr. MACArttNEY opposed the second reading on the ground that schedule B of the bill was partial, and would not equally affect the salaries of all clerks in pub lic offices. He thought it would be much better to re vise the whole subject during the recess, and have a complete bill introduced next seesion. Colonel DUNNE also expressed objection to the bill. The bill was then read a second time without further discusslon. SUPPLY. The house then went into a committee of supply. On the motion for a grant for 1,040 additional men and non-commissioned officers for the Royal Artillery, Captain L. VERNON asked, •as an act of justice to Sir J. Burgoyne, why Sir H. Ross should have been appointed to be Lieutenant-Genyral of the Ordnance ? . Mr. MONSELL assured the hon. member that it was imposible any slight could be intended for Sir J. Bur goyne. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said this was an appointment emanating from the Crown, and he doubted the propriety of introducing incidental di:cussions on such a subject as this. As to Sir J. Burgoyne, no terms of praise could be too high for Ins merits. (hear.) Captain LAFFAN believed that the reasons which had led to Sir H. Ross being appointed over his senior woltd be hon , mrable to Sir John Burgoyne himself, and satisfactory to the country. He (Captain Laffan) bad an interview on this subject with the Mi nister for War (the Duke of Newcastle), who said that Sir J. Burgoyne having made a reconnaissance in the East, his'advice and services were found so invaluable by the GOvernment on his return to England, that it was deembd extremely desirable to retain him at home. The vote was then agreed to. A sum of 58,139/. for the payment of the said Artil lerymen was then agreed to. A. sum of 840,7851. was next agreed to, for the pay ment of the Customs' officers. A sum of 1,154,5941. was also agreed to, for the pay ment of the officers of the Inland Revenue department. The Militia Pay Bill was read a second time. The Midland Great Western (Ireland) Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. The Militia (Scotland) Bill as amended was reported. The Public Health Bill was read a second time. The house adjourned at six o'clock. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) . . MANCHESTER, Aug. I.—We have to report a decidedly firm market in the medium and lower counts of water and mule yarns ; indeed, for some descriptions slightly higher prices are required ; this, however, is not gene ral. But it is found that, having supplied their imme diate wants, the buyers now hesitate to oper - ate further at the extreme rates demanded. This is particularly the case with the home manufacturers of such cloths as have either not risen at all, or not in nearly the same pro p ntion as tne yarns from which they are made—a state of things which is much too wide-spread. The re,ult is that the buiness of the day has been a gond deal re stricted in amount. The want of demand for China is felt in these numbers of water twist, which are usually sent thither. HALIFAX, July 29.—The aspect of trade in our Piece Rail to-day exhibits no improvement, either in demand or price ; and there is very little disposition to purchase any description of goo'ls. The spinners have a large propirtion of their machinery wholly. or partially unem ployed ; but they are, in general, unwilling to enter into contracts, as the prices offered are not remunerative. The wool market is inactive, with the quotations firm. ROCHDALE, July 31.—0 n account cif the upward ten dency of the raw material, the manufacturers ask more for their goods, which has limited the amount of business transacted. English wool is scarce at present, and the dealers have very light stocks on hand. HUDDERSFIELD, Aug. I.—The market to-day, both in the cloth hall and the warehousei, has beerl quiet. Few buyers have been in attendance. The amount of busi ness transacted will not equal last week. MARKET IV EIVS-Cl'll Y DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. To-day's market was very scantily supplied with fresh English wheat. The demand for all kinds was very inac tive, yet prices were well supported. There was an average business doing in foreign whet, the show of which was good, at full quotations. Floating cargoes were neglected but not cheaper. .We had a dull inquiry for both barley and malt, at barely Monday's decline in the quotations. The oat trade was dull, but we have no change to notice in prices. Beans, peas, and flour sold slowly, at late rates. Wheat. 4 JO ARRIVALS THIS WSSIE. Barley. I Malt. ! Coen.

SAVING OF FLAX SEED.—THE RUSSIAN WAIL—The Royal Flax Improvement Society of Ireland has just issued a circular to landed .proprietors and farmers in that country, containing advice which similar parties in Eng- Lind and Scotland may profit by. It is as follows : Farmers are earnestly requested to observe, that so long as the war continues, Riga seed cannot be ha I in suffi cient quantity for the Irish . sowing. Unless they take care to save seed for themselves, from the crop that is now growing, they will not be able to sow the usual quan tity next spring. This would be very unfortunate, di, the high price at which flax must keep, during the war, should induce them to sow largely. WICK HERRING FISHERY;—Th e July fishing. closes to-day, July 29, and presents returns far from favour able, and, with scarcely an exception, much under those of any former season for many years. .The total yield 'or the July fishing. along the whole North-east coast of Scotland, from Shetland to. Berwick," cannot exceed 10,000 crans,. or barely a 'fifth of the usual average.--Northerm NP^s492l' THET SA N% rirIAP N-D WrE DNEI3 A 7 -7 . ,E-VE NJ NG, AUGUST -1 8 SECOND COURT-MARTIAL ON LIEUT. PERRY. FOURTH DAT-TUEBDAY. The questions not reported in our impression of yes terday, and put by the prisoner to Colonel Garrett, were as follow : Prisoner—Was not the fact of my complainibg to you the - reason of my being sent to Coventry ? Colonel Garrett—l know of no officer in the regiment having been sent to Coventry, in thb common accepta tion of-the term, and if you were avoided and shunned it was not because you had complained. • Prisoner—Was not my case an approximation to being sent to Coventry ? Colonel Garrett-1 cannot say. I merely spoke of you being shunned, but I have no distinct or personal knowledge of such a thing. Prisoner—For what cause, then, was it? Colonel Garrett—l really cannot say. They did not like you, I suppose. Prisoner--You say I wrote a hurried letter to you, complaining of being annoyed. Could you produce it ? Colonel Garrett—No ; being a private 'note, I don't think I can. I did not keep it. Prisoner—Could you state to the best of your recol lection what words you made use of when I made my complaint ? Colonel Garrett—l made no observation at all in reference to that note. This morning the court re-assembled at half-past 11, Colonel Kelly presiding. Major Dalgetty officiated as deputy-judge-advocate. Major-General Wetherell was iu attendance as prosecutor. Lieutenant Perry was as sisted by his legal adviser, Mr. Darvill, of Windsor. The cross-examination of Colonel Garrett was re sumed. Prisoner—You say there were three distinct cases.of complaint. Will you state what they were? Colonel Garrett —Two of them, I think, had reference to cases of annoyance in the barrack-room, and the other I am not certain whether it had not reference to the barrack-room, or whether it was not in reference to some dispute between yourself and some other officer. Prisoner—You stated that the complaint was as to pulling the room about. As you admit three cases; does not your memory admit you to be more specific as to other cases ? Colonel Garrett—l hare already stated that two had reference to cases of annoyance in the barrack-room. What the other was I cannot state. Ilthink it was in reference to some dispute. Prisoner—ls your recollection as defective as to the complaints, as it was with regard to the words you used when you reproached me? Colonel Garrett—That really is a question which I do not understand, and cannot answer. Prisoner—Do you not now recollect that the first complaint I made was after I had been dragged from my bed, between two and three o'clock in the morning, when you were over your grog in the ? Colonel Garrett—l have already stated that a note came to me from you when I had a number of guests in the ante-room, and I do not think it was so late an hour. I have no knowledge that you were dragged from your bed, and no recollection that it was so stated. Prisoner—Do you not know that I was dressed in full uniform, and attempted to enter the mess-room, hut was prevented by two officers, one of whom threa tened to knock me down if I proceeded, and the other called me an ass, and told me to go to bed ? Colonel Garrett—l have no knowledge of such a thing, nor even beard of it. I never heard the slightest hint of anything of the kind. Prisoner—D;d you ever see me or speak Co me in re ference to the complaints I had made ? Colonel Garrett—l have already stated that I have no recollection of having done so, I repeat that I do not think I did. Prisoner—Are you not aware that I was subsequently subjected to similar treatment and wrote to Major Max well ? Col. Garrett—The question has reference to the second cause of complaint, and ought to be made through Ma jor Maxwell. I cannot say whether it had reference to similar treatment, but I - think it was in reference to some dispute. Prisoner--Did I not, in my letter to Major Maxwell, say that I could not be expected to get up at six o'clock in the morning for drill if my rest was disturbed, and I was compelled, every night, to get out of my bed ? Col. Garrett—l do not remember that I ever heard anything of the kind. Prisoner—ls it possible that Major Maxwell could have received such a fetter, and not have consulted with you how to act ? Col. Garrett—lt is possible. Prisoner—What was then the result of my application to Major Maxwell ? Col. Garrett—The settlement of the matter, as I un derstood. Prisoner—Do you recollect, or did the acting adjutant tell you, that I threatened to repOrt the circumstance to • the general of the Dubliq district? Col. Garrett—l do not recollect, nor did my acting adjutant tell me, that you threatened me. The next question from the prisoner was objected to by Capt. the Earl of Longford, and the court was cleared. On the re-admission of the public, Major-Gen. Wetherell said—l know that the wish of the Court is that Lieut. Perry should have the fullest latitude to cross-examine every witness. But I only pro duce evidence to p rove th e t ru th or f a l se h oo d o f a s i ng l e expression whether the colonel had reproached Lieut. Perry and called him a fool for his pains. The court was cleared to con s id e r th e l as t ques ti on , an d i t has no wish to re,trict the prisoner in his defence ; hut as the prosecutor has confined his evidence to the first charge, and that al.me, they wish the prisoner to do the Caine. He will have every opportunity afterwards of using his pri vilege of cross examination to any extent. Prisoner—This is a question of credibility. TilePresident—You can recal Colonel Garrett at any time. Prisoner—lt was irrelevant matter, not on my part, that c tused the inquiry. The President—You must confine your questions to the first charge. Prisoner--I wish to shake the testimony of the first witness on the first charge, and all my questions tend to that end. I may have evidence to disprove. After a lengthened consultation by the Court, Prisoner=-I did intend to go into much more irrele v.aot matter to shake the testimony of Colonel Garrett. My questions go to show that Colonel Garrett does not recollect the particulars of my charges, and it therefore cannot be said that they were false. If the witness is not right upon one point, how can he be' right upon another • After a brief consultation, Prisoner—Shall I be restricted to the second charge when it is entered upon ? The Deputy-Judge-Advocate—The Court adhere to their decision ; but they do not intend to restrict your cross-examination on any of the other charges to those . particular charges. Prisoner—Then I am quite •satisfied. I wish, how ever, questiOns already in should be put. • The following questions were then put S— . Prisoner--Did I not threaten to report the circum stances to the general of the district, and did I not cons. municate to Colonel Garrett matter to that effect ? - Colonel Garrett—l do not recollect anything of the kind. By corn plainedto the o you, and Court—You th astt desired a y t o e u that Lieutenant :Major Pe Maxwell Perry t inquire into the matter. What was the nature of those compiaints ? airCeatniel stated, I referredGarrett—The t firsto Major of the Maxwell.se On th slhave e third - occasion when I fund the desired object not to be carried out—that was. to stop the annoyance of which Lieutenant Perry complained—l assembled all the junior officers (I believe the whole of the subalterns), together with Major Maxwell, and the adjutant, and desired that the annoyances of which Lieutenant Perry had complained should cease ; and reprimanded, in par ticular; one officer of whom he complained especially ; and to ensure, as far as I was concerned, against any further acts of annoyance to Lieutenant Perry, in his room, I desired that, on no account, should he enter Lieut. Perry's room without my permission. I believe that had the desired effect. By the Court-- Did ever a complaint reach you from Lieut. Perry, or any other officer, of Lieut. Perry's having been pulled out of bed, while the regiment was quartered in Dujlin, and beaten with an umbrella? Col. Garrett—l think a report might have reached me of his having been pulled out of bed. As to the other details, as to his having his shirt torn,,or having been beaten with an umbrella, had they been inquired into, it is hardly possible that I should not have recol iecß•ted ; and I do no w t ,a r s L el is n ea e nt m it.s.aed remember anythi ng o f th e ki n d. to b y eli t eV e e C tl ° la u t rt— he pii Perr w y it give h y o w u ay an i y n reason i complaint elGar h r a e d en tt_ be ue d posed ofgisavewe his e olun ? no direct reason to think otherwise. On the contrary, I had every rea son to believe he was satisfied, because all aggressions had ceased fr om th at time, Prisoner—May I n d his not request that the witness may refreshmemory by looking over the notes • of his exa mination-in-chief ? The evidence was read over to C o l one l Garrett. By the Court—Did you, after the third complaint was disposed of, hear of any other ? Colonel Garrett—To the best of my belief, I did not. By the Prisoner—D J you niesn to say that as sembled all the officers. , A n d d o you mean to say 'your oath, that there were mo re t h an four officersr y s aesn sembled on the occasion ? At the suggestion of the C ourt, and by consent of t h e prisoner, the words "on your oath" were struck out of this question. Colonel Garrett—l should think there were more than four officers present. The duties in Dublin were very numerous, and some of the subalterns might have been away on leave, for all that I recollect. And I did not pay particular attention" to the number of officers, so long as I effected the object I had in view, and which I succeeded in doing. Prisoner—lf, as you state, all annoyances ceased after that time, how was it that Lieutenant Dunscomhe was brought down, in his shirt, between one and two o' c l6 s k in the morning, in the presence of yourself and other officers ? Colonel Garrett—My observation as to th e stop page of annoyances had reference to Lieutenant Perry. I was very much surprised one evening at hearing a great deal of noise among the youngsters, in the passage just outside the ante-room. There was also a party at whist. There was a sudden rush of young. sters into the room, with Lieutenant Dunscombe, who was brought to the door of the ante-room. Nhen I looked around, not being at all aware of what had happened, they all turned about and ran away. I sup pose they were not aware that I was there at the time. The President intimated that the case of Lieutenant Dunscornh; s iiiif nothing Whatever todo with the ques tion before the Court. Prisoner—l allude to the case, because I might be a champion for others who have suffered in a like manner with myself. - The Deputy Jude - Advocate—The prisoner cannot appear here as the champion of others. He has nothing - to do with others. The Prisoner—Then I will not press the question I have just handed up. I have no more questions to ask - Colonel Garrett. Major Maiwell, of 'the 46th, ,regiment, was then called and sworn. Proseertor—Do you remember Lieutenant Perry making any complaints of acts of violence against him- I self; by other officers of the 46th Regiment, whilst qUartered in Dublin ? 3 Witness—l do. • Prosecutor—Wh a t was d one on that 'occasion ? • 2 Witness—Colonel Garrett ordered Captain, then Lien- tenant, Nich o l a i t o go to the p risoner ' s room and, in- 2, e quire into th e ma t ter. Lieutenant Nicholas was then ". acting as adjutant, in the temporary absence of the ad- s. jutant. Shortly afterwards Lieutenant Nicholas came , back to the mess-room where .we were—a friend and 51 myself—and on his passing me I said, " What is the 51 matter ?" He reported to me that he found everything 21 settled and quiet when he went to Lieutenant Perry's 21 room. I told him to report that to Colonel Garrett, 1( which he did. Prosecutor—Was any inquiry made into the coin- 21 plaint made by Lieutenant Perry ? 24 Witness—No. not at that time. Prosecutor --Have you ever been present when Col. le Garret reprimanded an officer or officers for annoying 20 Lieutenant Perry ;or have you been present when St Lieutenant Perry made complaint of personal an noyance ? St Witness—l have been present .when Colonel Garrett 25 reprimanded an officer, in the presence of Lieutenant Perry, in consequence of a comp l a i nt o f persona l an - 10 St. no ante made to him by Lieutenant Perry. I never st. heard Lieutenant Perry complain personally to Colonel 10 Garrett of annoyance. Lieutenant Perry was himself Sts present during the reprimand, which was made in the St. presence of the subalterns assembled for that purpose. St. Prosecutor—ls it within your knowledge, or have St. you any reason to believe, th a t C o l one l G arre tt did, on St. that or any other occasion, call Lieutenant Perry a fool 12 for his pains, or reproach him for making complaints ? 50 Witness—l never heard Colonel Garrett call Lieut. le , Perry a fool for his pains ; and I verily believe Colonel. 161 Garrett did not. I never heard Colonel Garrett repr oac h St. Lieutenant Perry for making complaints. 19 By the prisoner—How many complaints have been 14 made by me, to your recollection, to Colonel Garret, 50 with reference to treatment received by me ? 20 Witness—Three. Prisoner—Will you be kind enough to state the nature LA: . of the first com pl a i nt, an d t h e mo d e i n w hi c h i t was st. dealt with ? 20 Witness—l have stated that there were three corn- 10 plaints made by Lieutenant Perry to Colonel Garrett 124 within the space to the best of my recollection, of two St. months. The first was settled, as already stated, by 50 Lieutenant Nicholas, who was sent by me to inquire 40 into it. 25 Prisoner—May I ask you the same question with respect to the second and third complaints ? Witness—As regards the second Complaint, Colonel Garrett one day put a private note into my hand, com mencing "Dear Sir," and ending "Yours truly, J. E. Perry," in which note Lieutenant - Perry complained of treatment to him by two officers of the regiment on the previous night. It would be as well to mention, before going further, that it has been Colonel Garrett's custom to depute me, since I have been major in the regiment, to inquire into and settle, If I possibly could, any dis putes between the junior officers. On receipt of the note in question, I called together Lieutenant Perry and the two officers in question in plain dress, and, on in quiry into the complaint, I was of opinion that the two officers had decidedly behaved themselves improperly. towards Lieutenant Perry. At the same time I was of j opinion that Lieutenant Perry had given them ust'cause to complain against him. The three officers were most anxious for me to settle the affair, without its going be fore the commanding officer. I did so, by reproving most severely the two officers in question. At the same time I desired Lieutenant Perry in future to be more cautious in his conduct. I also pointed out the impro priety of the note written to Colonel Garrett by Lieute nant Perry. and told him it was a very irregular way to lay such a complaint before a commanding officer. His reply was, that heir).- young in the service, he did not know what course t o pursue. I told him then that his course in future, in the erent of any complaint against another officer, was to go to the captain of his company in the first place ; the captain would give him the best advice, and if he (the captain) could not settle the mat. ter, he must send him (Lieut. Perry) tome ; and if it was too serious a matter for a major to entertain; it would be at once laid before the commanding-officer. With regard to the third complaint, I cannot remember how it was made. - I remember the adjutant telling me that I should be required to be present in the orderly room, whilst Col. Garrett was adjudicating upon a com plaint made by Lieut. Perry against one or more of the officers ; whether it was one or more of the officers, I cannot remember. Colonel Garrett heard Lieutenant Perry's s ateinent of his gdevances'on that occasion, and at the thou told all the young officers present that he (Colonel Garrett) wished them to, consider how very irregular and improper those proceedings were ; and then addressing the officer complained against, in plain dress, he repriltianded him most severely. At the same time he told him that, to prevent the possibility of his annoying Lieutenant Perry further, he had his (Col. Garrett's) orders never to go to Lieut. Perry's room by day or by night. - Prisoner—Will you be kind enough to state what cause of complaint there was against ine—as you say I had given cause of complaint—and state all that you know thereof? Witness—The cause of complaint was that Lieutenant Perry had told people in Dublin that one of the officers in question was known in the regiment by a very ugly name, which I shall not mention. That was the cause of complaint. Ou inquiry, as I stated before that I inquired into the case, I had reason to believe that Lieutenant Perry had made use of the offensive name, in Dublin. which gave greit offence to that officer, and was the origin of the complaint made by Lieutenant Perry to Colonel Garrett—l mean the cause of the com plaint. - Prisoner —As you state you inquired into the case, of whom did you inquire, and what did you ascertain? Witness—T inquired of the two officers already al luded to. and of Lieutenant Perry ; and ascertained, as I have stated, that there were faults on all sides, and so ended the matter. Prisoner—May I request that the question be put again, as I submit that it has not been fully answered. The question and answer were read, and the Court decided that the question had been satisfactorily an s wered. Prisoner—Do you know that the ugly , name you speak of was the soubriquet of the officer in question, and that 'you, on examining into another affair, ascer tained it to be so ? Witness—l know it was not the soubriquet of the officer in question, and I never found, on inquiry, that it had been. Prisoner—On my asking Ensign Knapp whether it was so, did he not tell me that it was ; and did he not say so in your presence ? Witness—l have no, recollection of Lieut. Knapp's name being mentioned in the matter ; and if he had told me so, I should not have believed it. Prisoner—May Ibe allowed to produce the officer said to bear the soubriquet ? Major• General Wetherall said such a course would be unusual. A witness could only b e examined on the evidence he had given. Prisoner —My questions arose entirely out of the evi dence Major Maxwell has given. The President—You can call the officer in your de fence. to P this effect risoner (t : wi" I o e Is)— mu Did tn f a I ne t Write a letter to you l every night, ' ll . ed o u t of m and ulled about' h" can I y bed nearly beat drill every morningbes beT expected to . W of my recollection,itne,zs—l never reany Plaint f rom h im on th e / o uch a letter, or, to the best c s ubject. I have complained of him being late for drill, and be never gave t hat as a reason f or b eing late. Prisoner— You state that the reproof given on the third complaint for irregular aid improper conduct was severely expressed. Shortly afterwards, did you not, at the Royal Barracks, Dublin, order Lieutenant Duns combe, in iny presence, to be brou g h t down-stairs from his bed-room, between one and tw o o ' clock in the morning, before the colonel 0 the regi ment, yourse lf , and guests, in his shiit ? The court was then cleared, On the re-admission of the public, it was announced that the question should be put. Witness—The reprimand was . so s t rong, that the only instance of a practical joke that I know of was the in stance alluded to., But I sever ordered Lieutenant Dunscombe to be brought out of his bed. So much the reverse, that I went outside of the ante-ro om to prevent the young gentlemen bringing him i n. The anteroom is close to the bottom of th e st airs. The door was burst open by the party oarrying Mr. D unscombe, and I was carried into the room along with them. There were several civilians in the room. Colonel Garrett was sitting with his hack to time door, in an arrn-chair. He mu-t have heard the latighter, but .to the best of my belief, did not see Mr. Thniscombe. Mr. Dunscombe appealed to me, saying, "Major,will you stand this ?'' At the time Mr. Dunscombe appealed to me, I told the youngsters to bundle out of the room, They did so ; they went upstairs ; and Mr. Dunscombe appeared in his uniform in time ante-room about five minutes afterwards. It being now four o'clock, the court adjourned until to-morrow (this day). THE - HOUSES OP PARLIAMENT.- It is proposed to place the management of the ventilation of both houses and all the committee-rooms and other chambers (ex cept the library of the House of-Lords), t o wh i ch the librarian will attend, under the superint en d ence of Mr. Goldsworthy Gurney. The alterations lately ma d e b y hin - a in e g ktie i%n general v- e entilatit satisfaction. of f s t a h t eH Lti us o e n. of f Commons appe ar to it ) vThe Serj eant-at- Aries, indeed, when asked by the Lords' committee if he was content, said, " I think I have never been quite contented with the ventilation of any buildin g th at I have ever been i n i n my life; I enjoy mys e lf so much mGre in the open air ;" but he added—" I think th e House of Commons now is quite as well v ent il ated as any building that I ever was in. ' The cost of lighting the two houses is as follows :—House of Peers, with its lobbies, 18s. Hid. per hour ; House of Commons, with its lobbies, 365. 11d. per hour.

We need hardly refer to the frequent exhibi tions of Mr. Layard, wherein he disported himself in the character of the " Craner," immortalised by Byron, who in the hunting field kept continually look;ng over a fence, which he would neither take himself nor let any one else. The " cross" connected with the meeting at Lord John Russell's was too self-evident to re quire any comment at our hands; but more notice is required with respect to the latest failure— namely, that of Procuring a Parliamentary decision upon the subject of an autumnal session. Upon that occasion various persons on the Radi cal side of the house were understood to be anxious to make the proposition ; but one after another they shrunk from doing so, and the matter was left in the hands of Lord Dudley Stuart, and ulti mately it fell to the ground. With Lord Dudley we have no fault to find. Ho is an honourable, straightforward gentleman, though not popular in the house as a speaker; and we are satisfied that he acted with perfect sincerity in the whole matter. Nevertheless it was a coup manque from the distrust excited by the very open manoeuvres of other and more active partisans. If the Advertiser is anxious to know who, under a pretence of grea t zea l for the cause, has been the great support of Ministers throughout the entire session we shall have no objection to enlighten him ; but at present we shall content ourselves with stating that there are two members for Mary lebone. To conclude these observations, which have been in a degree forced upon us, we may say that the great fault which has been committed on the part of the Conservatives for the last few months has been the want of a distinct declaration of policy, and an apparent want of unity of action, which induces those who do not see beyond the surface to infer a separation of sentiment. This opinion we can state most positively is a great error ; but it must not be denied that facts, when known a d to but few, do not produce their proper impres sion. The facts which positively bear upon pub -2 lic event s are th e conc l us i ons w hi c h are d rawn by the people, who, after all, constitute the great cuurt of appeal ; and nothing can be more mischie vous than allowing them to be deceived as to the real condition of things. s t e o r v b a e t i a v l e i 0 w e d policy,to exist, is to which n be summed o m la. t u a p k T i e n h o e a u C g r o h e n t ry few words.

We believe these to be the principles of the Con servative party; we are sure the enunciation will find an echo in the hearts of the people of England, who will sooner or later appreciate their true friends, and shake off the delusion which has bound them to those who, upon false pretences, have re duced the country to its present unsatisfactorY po litical condition at home, and it s position of utter • -- degradati on i n th e e y es o f f ore i gn nations.-/Iforn u i, i g Herald. --- 20i .R. 4 IL IVA I' TRAFFIC BET URNS.

INSTALLATION. - On Thursday Lord Panmure was in• stalled into the office of Provincial Grand Master, to which he was appointed by the Grand Lodge of Boot' laud on the d em i se of his lordship's father. The observations which we felt it our duty to make on Friday last have excited more attention than is generally conceded to the remarks of jour. nalists at this busy period of the session. We are well pleased that it should be so ; but the manner in which these remarks have been made use of ren der it necessary to return to the subject, as we are resolved that there "shall be no mistake" with regard to the end and object of observations which have called forth a more than ordinary portion of comment. Our readers will remember that we at. tributed the great mass of the undeniable evils of which we complained entirely to the system of " Parliamentary subserviency," which allowed a Coalition to carry onasystr , mofpfoaselesslsepr, object less, etencject less, and consequen tly and produced an Opposition fly powe rless." pur These state ments of ours have been used by different persona for different purposes. It will be remembered that some days since, in commenting up on the felevleinlgesaboefdtshteropurgels; upon regard to the Coalition, which, inclined to ordinary oppositionnai.y circumstances,evinced bywould journals be support the Ministry. Amongst these we pointed out the Daily News, the Morning A d ver t iser, and Punch, while we laid but lit tl e st ress upon the habitual supporters or opponents of the Government. Referring t o this Mr. Urquhart, i n a recent letter, has remarked that the blame which we felt it our duty to attribute to the Opposition side of the House ought to remove us into the category of neutrals. We cannot assent to this. Our opposition to Lord Aberdeen's Ministry is founded upon the total want of principle which the Coalition have manifested—a want of principle which is the result of an unnatural aggregation of materials, and which, from the strange fusion of an. tagonisms of which it is compounded (each destroy. ing the other, and rendering the whole worthless and useless, stagnant and foetid), deserves well the dirtiest title which in political parlance can be ap plied to any conceivable entity amongst parties at the present crisis. We are not neutrals, and we are the opponents of those who have neutralised themselves ; we, therefor e , cannot accept the ad vantage which Mr. Urquhart would assign to us. Our opposition to Lord Aberdeen arises from an imperative sense of duty, and we must be hostile to him and his adherents. On the other hand, the Morning Advertiser, in an article published yesterday, and which is in many respects highly complimentary, wishes to in terpret our remarks as bearing exclusively against the Conservative part of the Opposition. The particular portion of Parliamentary history upon !which we grounded our remarks was the debate which arose upon the vote of credit for 3,000,0001. ; and, speaking of the Conservative party, we said that a portion of them refused to sup port Lord Dudley Stuart upon the plea of his beings Radical, and that portion must bear as they may the censure which they have deserved. Another part of the Conservative opposition we stated feared to censure the Government directly, and therefore they made a move on their own account to restrain the granting of a practical despotism to the Minis try for the next six months. This, we think; is much to be lamented, but, as being grounded upon what we consider an error in judgment, it is not open to the same unmitigated disapproval which we have thought it necessary to apportion to the first departure from duty. With regard to the opinion of the Conservative party with reference to the mode of —not —carry ing on the war, no mistake can possibly exist ; but we consider that it would most certainly have been desirable that a record of that opinion should have been made, whether they divided in a minority or otherwise. Their votes would have been appre ciated hereafter. To return, however, to th ose w h o would not vote with Lo r d Dudley Stuart because he was a Radi cal, we repeat that no excuse can be made, for it was a desertion of duty ' • but when we l oo k at t h e modified course pursued by some of the members of the Opposition, a palliation in degree may be easily found for theiroffence. Now, to this part of the sub. ject we wish more particularly to call the attention of the Morning Advertiser, which perhaps will be surprised to learn that during the entire session the Radical portion of the opposition has upon any question which bore upon the existence of the Ministry systematically deserted the Conserva tives.
