PECHELL, in moving an address for returns of vessels seized on suspicion of being engaged in the slave trade, and of her Majesty's ships employed On the coast of Cuba for the prevention of the slave trade, said, as the traffic was now concentrated into one point, the coast of Cuba, it was not too much, he thought, to uromrge th that e Acoa s dmiralty not to w i t h draw any of the vessels ft. Mr. HUME observed, that it appeared in the evi dence before the committee of last sessi on , th a t a ll now re quired to put an end taoeteenslt with this country.ave trad e was t o ca ll s upon Spain to fulfil her en g 3fr.

Mr. COBDEN observed that, without wishing to as sist the transfer of Cuba to the United States, he thought it would be an advantage to humanity if the United States or some other Power had possession of the island, which had been so scandalously abused. After a few words from Captain ScoBELL, the motion was agreed to. R AY CONTRACTS. Sir W. &MUTH, in moving for returns with regard to the supply of hay to the navy, said he held in his hand the proof of the innocence of one of the accused 'pities,. whose name had been brought before the public. Di understoc4 however, that the hon. secretary to the 's: Adniiizalt to hi y m. had acquitted this p arty of the charge in uted :". Mr. B. OSBORNE explained that he did so, as far as "...e" the fraud was concerned. / Sir W. SWUM -said that, o n l oo ki ng over the'cor d r4aponden c e w ith the;Admiralty. he - could not ima g i ne how 4 person who/was not guilty of fraud could be at' t r r J ~ .~,L k . the very time when Queen Elizabeth was excommuni cated by Rome, and her title to the throne disputed, she should have founded a university for the education, not of persons of the Reformed faith, but of her Roman Catholic subjects. He referred to the report of the com missioners on this subject, to show that while they recog nised Trinity College, Dublin, as a Protestant establish ment, in accordance with the views of its founders, they at the same time declared that the doors of the uni versity had been thrown as wide open as they could be to persons of all religious denominations consistent with the intentions of its founders. He also quoted a speech from Sir J. Graham, in 1825, in which the right hon. bart. declared that he looked upon this University as a decidedly Protestant establishment. With regard to the general tolerant character of the Dublin University, he said no one was subject to a test unless ho took a degree in divinity. He showed the relaxations which had been made of the ori ginal restrictions, and the number of honours and offices in the college open to Roman Catholics, the aggregate emoluments amounting to 6,9001. a year. He enume rated some of the eminent persons who had been edu oated at Trinity College, and then proceeded to argue %int the Act of Settlement (the 14th and 15th Charles IJ.,and the act 33 George 111., chap. 21—upon which 31r.Fagan replied as affording authority for his scheme —contained enactments directly repugnant to it. Mr. HEY WOOD admitted th a t man y beneficial modi fications had been made iu the college, but, although he wished its constltution to remain as it was, he thought snore modifications of its restrictions were desirable. Sir J. YOUNG regretted this motion, which was one of those attempts, he said, now made to change esta blished institutions in Ireland, and he looked at an at tack upon a Protestant institution as he would at an attack upon Maynooth College. In examining the alle gations of Mr. Fagan, be accused him of greatly over estimatingthe revenue of Trinity College, and cited an opinion expressed by the University Commissioners, that fundamental changes in the college were not required. Mr. HUME supported the motion, which, he said, had been much misunderstood. It was not intended to interfere with the educational purposes of Trinity Col lege, but to devisea better mode of expending its money for those purposes. Mr. WHITESIDE said, the object of this bill was to take away from the University of Dublin funds given for one purpose, and to apply them to another ; and this he called confiscation. If Mr. Fagan succeeded in his mo tion, what assurance could he give that a college esta blished upon the principle he proposed would not be as sailed by the same interdict which had been issued from Rome against other colleges in Ireland ? Mr. J. FITZGERALD denied that the bill proposed confiscation ; and challenged Mr. Hamilton to show that there was one word in the charter of Elizabeth, which excluded Roman Catholics from the college, or any con temporaneous document appropriating it to Protestant purposes. The measure did not interfere with the educa tion of Trinity College, but would work out this object —that, while a place of education was still preserved for Protestant clergymen, incentives to exertion should be opened to Roman Catholics. Mr. NAPIER opposed the motion because its object and scope were incompatible with the foundation and continuance of the University of Dublin, which had gone to the utmost length of liberality consistent with the primary and lawful object of the institution. He an swered the challenge of Mr. Fitzgerald by quoting the charter of Elizabeth, which made the teaching of "re ligion " one of the objects of the institution, and the Fel lows' oath, which repudiated Popery. To establish an other college, and to ad.nit Roman Catholics upon the foundation, would break up an institution which had undergone an inquiry by commissioners (whose report was highly creditable to the University of Dublin), by giving birth to a struggle between two religious parties as to which should get the emoluments. Mr. I. BUTT likewise insisted that Mr. Fagan's scheme would break up the whole University system ; it proposed to establish a second college, and to endow it out of the existing revenues of Trinity College, and, if the present system were broken up, the end would be disappointment, for the new college would not be accepted by the Roman Catholic hierarchy or the Roman Catholic people of Ireland. Mr. GEORGE having spoken shortly against the motion, and Mr. P. O'BRIEN in its favour, Mr. FAGAN declining to divide the house, the motion was negatived. PUNISHMENT OF ADULTERY. Mr. BOWYE.R, moved for leave to bring in a bill to amend the law regarding actions for criminal conversa tion, and the protection of women in such actions, in order to remove what he considered a great blot on the jurisprudence of this country. Our law treated adultery, not like that of every civilised nation in Europe, as a criminal offence, but as a civil wrong, for which a pecu niary compensation was awarded ; and this distinction was itself presumptive evidence that our law was wrong. He pointed out the abuses to which our mode of treat ing the offence gave rise, and proposed that in future no damages should be given in any action of this nature, but, where a verdict was obtained by the plaintiff, it should be lawful for the court to impose a fine upon the defendant. If it should be proposed to substitute an indictment, he would support that proposal. Further —at present, the wife was no party to the suit, and was not heard ; the question was between the husband and the paramour, and was one of money, whereas to the woman it was a question of utter ruin. He proposed, therefore, that she should he placed in the situation of a defendant, and entitled to appear by counsel. Mr.. FITZROY, on behalf of Lord Palmerston, ob served that Mr. Bowyer's object was of a very compre hensive character, arid, although he did not oppose the introduction of the bill, it must not be understood that its principle was adopted by the Government. At the same time, there could be no diversity of opinion as to the state of the law, which vies not satisfactory, and to make an offence of this kind a question of damages was exceedingly revolting to every Honourable man. Leave was then given to bring in the bill. POSTAL COMMUNICATION WITH THE ISLANDS OF ARRAN. Mr. BELLEW moved that a humble address be pre sented to her Majesty, praeine for the establishment of the postal communic akin with the islands of Arran, on the west coast of Ireland. He said that during the recess his attention had been drawn to the fact that these islands had no postal communication. They certainly did not occupy a very important geographical position, but he wished to impress upon the house that they contained 3,000 inhabitants, who were cut off from almost all communication with this country. Mr. FRENCH seconded the motion. Sir J. YOUNG begged to state that the Posmaster- General had instituted an inquiry with the object of giving postal communication to these islands if it were possible to do so. it appeared the islands were on the west agi coast of Ireland, and c on t a i ne d 3,000 i nha bi tants, a msate, three cleneymen, and a lihthouse. (A laugh.) T he estimateerevenue of the g islands was Of. 15 s. a - year, while the employment of a boat twice a week would cost 381. a year, and the cost boat once a wee k would be 251. a year. Under these circumstances th e estabiislonentof a postal communica tion would in vo l ve a loss upon th country. The ques tion of giving these communications b sa to islands glands a very large one, and might invol y ve not only the Guernsey. of Arran, but many others, such as Jersey vid e Guernsey. He trusted the hon. gentleman would be satisfied with the assurance that the Government would give the subject their att ent i on. Mr. FRENCH said it must he recollected that very considerable sums were deri ve d from c arryinglettersbth e stages, and he thought it was but fair that if the Government Government took the advantages of this they should also be ready to put up with losses. Mr. BAILLIE could not agree with the doctrine that the Post -office authorities ought not to give postal com munication unless the addition required could be made to pay. He had himself, on a former occasion, brought the matter before the house, and he trusted it would now take the subject into its serious csnsideretion. Sir T. RARING concurred with the hon. gentleman who bad just sat down, that it was not a sufficient answer to be told that a sufficient remuneration would not be paid. (Hear, hear.) The Post-office authorities ought to furnish postal communication for the whole country. Mr. 11. HERBERT said, only two days ago he re ceived a communication from Carlow, which stated that an application bad been made to the Post-office autho rities to place them in precisely the same position they were in ten years ago, before railways were in existence, and when the country was amply supplied with stage coaches ; and the only answer they received was, that it would not pay. He trusted the Government would now take a more liberal view of the subject. The house then divided— For the motion Against.., Majority against the Government.. all implicated in the transaction complained of. It ap peared to him that he must either be distinctly guilty or innocent. He hoped the house would think with him that, if Mr. Sturgeon was not guilty of fraud, he could not be guilty in any way whatever. It was right they should know from the Government in what state the case was in. In the first instance, whether there was any foundation for the letter which brought the matter before the public, and whether the Duke of Newcastle, when he made his statement in the other house, was not entirely ignorant of what he was talking about. (A. laugh.) They ought also to know whether the hon. Secretary to the Admiralty was justified in naming Mr. Sturgeon to the house and the country. The house very well knew that character was everything to a person in trade. (Hear.) The hon. secretary himself must also be aware how dangerously injured the character of that firm must be by theitnputa,tion which he had cast 'on them. In fact, he might say that, if their character had not been above suspicion, they must have been ruined. He had in his possession a testimonial, signed, he believed, by nearly every shipowner in the port of London as to the high character of the firm, and no less than 20 of the persons whose signatures it bore had known them for upwards of 20 years. These imputations were very in jurious, and he trusted the Government would deem it to be their duty not only to set Messrs. Sturgeon right before the public, but also to make that reparation to which they were entitled. He held in his hand docu ments which proved the influence of that firm, and he also held papers in his hand of another nature — papers which showed, if not the gross mismanage ment, at least the very questionable management of the Victualling -office ; and he was not sure that even the Ordnance was not to blame. When the correspon dence was on the table, he would see whether or not it would be his duty to move for a committee of inquiry, and bring the whole case before the house. The hon. baronet concluded with his motion for copies of all correspondence between Government depart. ments and the contractors for hay during the last two months, and to bring under the consideration of the house the delay that has taken place in investigating the late alleged frauds in the supply of hay for Government service. The hon. baronet also moved for some further correspondence not in the printed papers, on the same subject. The motion having been seconded, Mr. OSBORNE said the Government had no objection to produce copies of all correspondence, with the addition just moved for by the hon. baronet ; but he thought the hon. baronet would have exercised a wiser discretion as the friend of Messrs. Sturgeon, his constituents, if he had been content with the qualified answer he (Mr. Osborne) had alreadygiven to his hon. friend the member for Car low—that Messrs. Sturgeon had committed no fraud. He expressly guarded himself in giving that answer from exonerating the Messrs. Sturgeon from blame, and he could not now permit the hon. baronet to cast censure upon the Victualling Department, the Ordnance, or any other Government office. He (Mr. Osborne) would not, like the hon. baronet, be satisfied with saying he held papers in his hand without reading them, but would read documents which would clearly prove that the clients of the honourable baronet were far from blame less in these transactions. The question had to some extent been understood—it was not one of coetract at all. On the 17th of February last, the Victualling de partment of the Ordnance advertised for 750 loads of hay by tender. Only one offer for 50 loads of hay was received. The hay salesmen were then applied to by let ter for prime upland hay of the best quality. Messrs. Sturgeon replied to these letters on the 18th February, stating that they had the same sort of hay required— clover mixture and Italian ryegrass, the growth of 1852, admirabiy suited fur horses, and that they would deliver 50 loads on the following Tuesday or Wednesday. Let the house remember that prime upland hay was asked for. Messrs. Sturgeon replied that the article they had was admirably suited for horses. The hay was sent in between the 21st February and the 26th of March. On the 21st March a paragraph appeared in the United Ser vice Gazette, stating that the hay sent to Deptford vic tualling-yard was of the most infamous description-- that a dead lamb was found in a truss of hay. On the following day a noble lord in another place made a for mal complaint, and questioned the Duke of Newcastle on the subject. The duke at first declined to give the name, but being very much pressed, asked him (Mr. Osborne), who was standing at the bar of the house, and he (Mr. Osborne) inquired of one of the officers of the victualling department present (the comptroller) who had sent the worst hay, when he replied Messrs. Stur geon and Son ; but there was some mistake made in the name, on that occasion, it having been called Sturges. The reports made upon the subject had quite borne out this statement. It appeared the hay the Messrs. Sturgeon sent in was so bad that it was rejected, and they were ob liged to send it back. The Quartermaster-General of the Artillery, Quartermaster Steele, and others of equal re spectability, who were parties to the Ordinance report, spoke as to the badness of the hay. The dead lamb was not discovered in Messrs. Sturgeon's hay, it appeared from the report, but the trusses in which the dead lamb was discovered were those which were composed of the best hay that had been sent in. (Laughter.) The Colonel- Commanding the Royal Artillery reported that the hay supplied by Messrs. Sturgeon and Son was musty and foul, though there were no stones or shavings found in it—that their supply had been rejected on the 27th of February —that it was the worst of all that had been sent in ; it was sedgy, and much of it of the coarsest de scriptien—moulcly and full of dust -(hear, hear)-it was not even cow hay. (Hear, hear.) Such was the report of the Ordnance. He held in his band another report front the victualling department, at the head of which was Captain Martin, who presided over Deptford Dock yard, and whom it would be impertinent in hint to praise. (Hear. hear.) He reported that Messrs. Stur geon had sent in 5f loads of hay, every one of which had been rejected as musty and full of dust ; it was not prime upland hay —not fit for the consumption of horses. lie, however, acquitted the 'Messrs. Sturgeon of all fraud. There were no shavings, stones, or filth in their hay, but it was full of squirrel tails—a species of grass which grew on marshy lands, so that, said the hon. gentleman, the Messrs. Sturgeon, there could be no doubt, so fir from being blameless, were more than ordi narily culpable, though they had not been guilty of any systematic fraud, and they had intended none. He coud not go further than acquit the Messrs. Sturgeon of fraud, and in this opinion he thought the house quite agreed with him. There could be no doubt but that they had been most culpable and remiss in their con duct. (Hear, hear.) Mr. M. SMITH censured the organs of the Govern ment for mixing up the names of a respectable firm so imp-operly and indiscreetly in a disreputable transaction. After sonic remarks by Colonel Dunne, Mr. Hume, and Mr. S. Herbert on the subject of the commissariat arrangements for our troops in Turkey, the motion was agreed to. CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS. Mr. AGLIONBY moved for leave to bring in a bill ,o amend the law of criminal proceedings, and to enable justices in petty sessions to take pleas of "guilty" in cases of larceny, explaining the evils which the bill was intended to meet. Lord PALMERSTON was ready to agree to the motion, and to give the bill the best attention in his power, without pledging himself to the details. •4Sir J. PAKTNGTON recommended Mr. Aglionby to engraft upon his bill a provision enabling magistrates in petty sessions to deal summarily with cases of petty larceny. Doubts as to the expediency of parts of the measure were thrown out by Mr. S. WORTLEY and Mr. HENLEY. The LORD-ADVOCATE said the experiment, as far as experience had gone, worked well in Scotland. After a fe w observations from Mr. Bankes, Mr. Packe, and Mr. Barrow, and a reply by Mr. Aglionby, leave was given to bring in the bill. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. SirT.ACLA.ND moved for copies of any instructions which either had been issued, or hereafter might be issued, during the present season, to the commanders of her Majesty's ships now engaged in the Arctic regions in the search for Sir John Franklin's missing expedition. He said the subject was one of such deep anxiety to many persons, who had already for some years ex perienced the tender consideration and indulgence of the house, that, as the period during which that anxiety must be satisfied, if it could be satisfied at all, was now rapidly approaching-, he thought it would be wrong were he, even at that hour (12 o'clock), to postpone the matter. He hoped ha might he enabled to receive from the First Lord of th e Ad m i ralty an answer as satisfac tory as that which had been given with respect to the Government operations in the right hon. baronet's de partment in another part of the globe. The question he was desirous of putting to the right hon. baronet was whether he would inform the house what was the nature of the instructions that might have been, or were about to be, sent to the commanders of her Majesty's ships now engaged in the Arctic regions ? The house was aware that several expeditions had been sent to the Arctic seas in search of Sir John Franklin, and it was also aware that, though no one of them had been successful in the main object for which it was dispatched, several had been eminently successful in exploring the coast of America, and in ascertaining that no traces of the expedition of Sir John Franklin were to be found there. Thirty years ago, when Sir Edward Parry entered upon what was called the great Arctic highway, a considerable tract was left for future investigation and discovery, and two years ago the expedition now in the Arctic seas, under the command of Sir E. Belcher, was despatched to a quarter of those seas as yet unexplored, and which waa recommended for i nvestigation by a majority of the Arctic officers appointed to consider the question, who believed that Sir John Franklin had passed that way and was yet to be found alive. The principal communi cation from this side the Arctic seas and the expected exit of the north-west passage was through Wellington Channel ; and as yet that quarter had not been entirely explored until some investigations were made a few years ago by Captains Austin and Penny. . An expedi tion in the same channel was still on its course, and, though as yet uncompleted, it was known that it was being pursued with indefatigable industry and zeal. Up to the present moment, however, no official account had been received of the results of that expedition. It was not asked that th e G overnment should send any new exped, or incur, generally speaking, any additional expense ; but that the instructions issued to the com manders of Her, Majesty's ships engaged in the Arctic regions should not convey such a peremptory order to them to return home as to prevent them from exercising some discretion as to the expediency of their continuing their efforts in case they should think there was any hope of their being successful. The hon. baronet con cluded by referring to the late member for Oxford Uni versity (Sir R. Ingiis), who, he said, had always shown himself extremely interested in this matter, and who, had be been present, would have brought it before the house in a much more efficient manner than he had been able to do. Sir J. GRAHAM expressed his sympathy w ith the feeling 6 whi c h - had - prompted the observations o€:-the "hon. gentleman, and stated that, though it was an un- THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 5, 1854. I usual course to lay on the table instructions that had been issued or might be i ssue d t o th e comman d ers o f vessels, the Government would make no opposition to the motion. The right hon. baronet then, in a very in distinct tone, proceeded to observe, as far as we were able to collect, that he should neglect his 6uty if he did not impose some limit on the search after Sir John Franklin, which had now been protracted for many years, and was unhappily attended with great risk and possible loss of life. He had not thought it hitherto ex pedient to suspend the sending of additional ships, or to refuse incurring additional expense, for he had deemed it right in the present year, to send some additional vessels both to the American and Eastern shores. A ship had been sent to Behring's Straits for the purpose of communicating, if possible, with those vessels which had passed three winters within the ice. The house was aware that two ships had entered Behring's Straits in search of Sir John Franklin. Captain Maclure suc ceeded in effecting his passage to the eastward, and the gratifying intelligence had been received that he was safe ; but he regretted to add, that with resp ec t t o C apt. Collinson no inormation had been received, and great anxiety and most serious apprehensions were entertained with respect to him. (Hear.) He was last seen on the western edge near Behring's Straits, and instruc tions had been sent that if happily he (Captain Col linson) should be safe, he should at once leave the ice, and also all the ships ; but if any circumstances should occur which might excite a last lingering hope that as sistance might yet be given to Sir John Franklin, and that his safety might still be secured—though there was hardly in his (Sir J. Graham's) opinion any hope left with regard to the safety of that gallant officer and his companions —then orders would be given for the pro longed stay of the ships of search for the period of a year. But, with that single exception, it would not be consistent with his (Sir J. Graham's) duty to promise any of her Majesty's ships for the search. Admiral WALCOTT considered that all that was con sistent with the honour of the country had been per formed in seeking by every practical means Sir John Franklin, and he was of opinion that the vessels forming his expedition had foundered and that the crews had perished. Ha knew also, that that was the opinion of many professional men, and that any further effort to discover the ships would be an absolute waste of life. His only regret was that the First.

So far as the racing was concerned, indeed, the meeting was slow enough ; but the fineness of the weather rendered people almost indifferent to the shortcomings in the supply of sport, and disposed them to full and unrestrained enjoyment. The course was very fashionably attended ; but the dis tinguished party from Belvoir Castle was absent in con sequence of the serious illness of Lady John Manners. Leybourne carried off the Scurry Stakes, and was claimed for Mr. French. Although but a moderate animal, yet, at the selling price, 401., he was not dear, and the purchase is likely to prove profitable. Sine qua-non, Folly of the Day, and Determination made a good race of it for the Belvoir Castle Stakes, the first mentioned animal winning by half a length. The leading event of the day was, as usual, the Granby Handicap. Five horses only went to the post. Bourton was, of course, the favourite, 5 and finally 6 to 4 being freely betted on him. From start to finish his success was not for an instant in doubt. He lead from end to end, and won in a canter by three-quarters of a length. lie was ridden by Lord Wilton, who sported his own colours. The racing was brought to a conclu sion with the Sweepstakes for two years old. Flatman won it on the Epirus Filly ; an achievement which, as Lheard him remark, made his trip to Croxton Park pleasant.

Virago was on Monday strongly supported, and this morning on the platform at the Railway•station, King's Cross, after 4 to • 1 had been booked about her to a " poney," a cool hun dred" was put on her at 3to 1 odds which were eagerly taken throughout the day. Notwithstanding, however, the rush to back Virago, an almost equal anxiety was evinced to get on Marc Anthony —an animal which be longs to the same stable. At the commencement Bto 1 was taken about him, but before the racing was over, 6 to 1 was with difficulty obtainable. Should Virago be capable of competing, successfully, I shall be inclined to believe that the complaints which were made re specting her imposts for the Chester Cup were most un just. I certainly prefer the chance of her stable com panion Marc Anthony, and in stating this preference I do not pretend to a knowledge of either the intentions or secrets of her owner. I have, however, arrived at the deliberate conclusion that the result of the race will be in favour of either Orestes or Lysisca. Itch, I am informed, is now in the neighbourhood of Croxton to run for the Cup. Should she, however, put in an appearance in Surrey, I shall be induced to make a slight venture with her as a " cockboat." The increasing support which Royalist receives for The Metropolitan has materially stopped speculation on that event. His partisans, indeed, regard his victory as a foregone conclusion, for so highly and satisfactory was he tried that they assert that were Pantomime in the race at sst 71b they would still " stand" the young'un ! The vast sums of money which are daily being invested on him has somewhat shaken my scepticism as to his racing ability, and, unless his party have made an egregious mistake, Royalist's success would seem to be reduced to a certainty. Still I am not inclined to place implicit confidence in his pretensions.

He wished the right hon. baronet to consider that point. Captain SCOBELL said, that although it might be hopeless to save Captain Franklin, still Captain Col linson remained a survivor in the ice, and he might yet be re:3eued. He was one of those who thought that Sir John Franklin was not now alive ; and that, whether alive or dead, the spot where his ship was had never yet been reached. With respect to the pos sibility of his being alive, Captain Maclure had given them some evidence on the point, for he had described an island which he had explored, and which was full of means of life. He thought it would be advisable to allow all the coming summer to be employed in con tinuing the se irch, not only for Sir John Franklin, but for Captain Collinson, who had only been four years in , 1 the ice. Sir J. GRAHAM said that the instructions were ex press that if Captain Collinson was not heard of the ships should remain in the ice during the present summer. Lord STANLEY entirely agreed that there was no ground for sending out a new expedition in search for Sir John Franklin, but he concurred in the propriety of allowing the ships now in the Arctic Seas to pursue the search ; but he hoped they would be allowed to do so according to their own judgment, and not be required to remain longer in the ice than circumstances would reasonably justify. SirJ. GRAHAM said, that a discretionary power was given them to pursue the search as long as they thought necessary. The motion was then agreed to. sows. each, with 50 sous, ;hree quarters of a mile. On the motion of Mr. HUM, a return was ordered of a copy of the Post-office Regulations now in force for the transmission of Parliamentary Papers to parts in the United Kingdom, to the Channel Islands, and to the several colonies and possessions of the Crown.

Since the publication of my notes on that clay, however, both Muscovite and Annie Sutherland have made a zetrograde movement in the betting. This cir cumstance, however, scarcely induces me to alter my opinion respecting them.

THE _RUSSIAN KNOUT. - - At a given signal the sufferer has to advance, with a slow step, between the rows of soldiers, each of whom, in turn, must apply a vigorous blow on his back ; the pain he endures might, perhaps, suggest to him the idea of passing as quickly as possible through the double row of executioners, in order to lessen the number and the force of the blows which hack hist flesh to pieces ; but he calculates without Russian justice. The two non commissioned officers retreat slowly, step by step, in order to afford every one time to perform his task. They drag the unhappy wretch, forward, or push him back, by driving the points of the bayonets into his breast. Every blow must tell ; it must enter his back and cause the blood to gush out. No pity : every one must do his duty. As I have said in another part of this work, the Muscovite soldier is a machine which is not allowed to possess any individual feeling; and woe betide his own shoulders if he manifests the least hesi tation, for he will on the spot, receive from twenty-five to a hundred blows, according to the caprice of the gene ral who has the honour of commanding the 6,000 execu tioners. The Russian Government is scrupulous in the most trifling details. It insists on everything being done with precision. But with such men as it has at its dis posal it cannot trust to chance, and, therefore, it has rehearsals to execute a human being just as it exercises its troops previous to a review. A few hours before the time appointed for the punishment, a truss of hay or straw, placed upon a chariot, is driven along the ranks. The sufferer advanced up to the nine hundredth and third stroke ; he did not utter a single cry, or prefer a single complaint; the only thing which betrayed his agony from time to time was a convulsive shudder. The foam then began to form upon his lips, and the blood to start from his nose. After fourteen hundred strokes, his face, which had long before begun to turn blue, assumed suddenly a greenish hue ; his eyes became haggard and almost started out of their sockets, from which large blood-coloured tears trickled down and stained his cheeks. He was gasping and gradually sinking. The officer who accompanied me ordered the ranks to open, and I approached the body. The skin was literally ploughed up, and had, so to say, disappeared. The flesh was hacked to pieces, and almost reduced to a state of jelly ; long stripes hung down the prisoner's sides like so many thongs, while other pieces remained fas tened and glued to the sticks of the executioners. The muscels,'too, were torn to shreds. No mortal tongue can ever convey a just idea of the sight. The command ant caused the cart which had brou;lit the prisoner to be drlved up. He was laid in it on his stomach, and, although he was completely insensible, the punishment was continued upon the corpse, until the surgeon ap pointed by the Government, who had followed the exe cution step by step, gave orders for it to be suspended. He did not do this, however, until there was hardly the slightest breath of life left in the sufferer's body. When the execution was stopped, two thousand six hundred and nineteen strokes had cut the body to pieces. But, in Russia, the fact of striking a co r p se i s not cruel enough, an d would not inspire a nation of slaves with a sufficient amount of terror. A man must revive before he undergoes the remainder of his punishment. The unhappy wretch was taken to the hospital, where, as is the custom in these cases, he was placed in a bath of water saturated with salt, and then treated with the greatest care and solicitude, until a complete cure was effected, so that he could bear the rest of the sentence. In all instances, and at all times, the penal laws of Rus sia are stamped with atrocious barbarity. It was seven months before he was cured and his health re-established ; and, at the expiration of this period he was solemnly taken back to the place of execution, and forced once more to ruu.the gauntlet,' in order to receive his full amount of 6,000 -strokes;. He died - at the commence ment of this second punishment.....

MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.—The latest addi tion to the exhibition is a portrait model of the gallant Lieutenant -General Sir Archibald Maclaine, K.C.8., Colonel of the 52d Light Infantry, and well known in military circles as the " Hero of Matagorda." Sir Archibald is the only officer now surviving who served along with the Duke of Wellington in his grand early campaigns in India. In those eventful times the fol lowing extracts from official despatches are truly in teresting : —Extracts from general orders addressed to the army by Gen. Sir John Macdonald, Assistant-Adju tant-General, and from despatches of Major-General the Hon. Sir Wm. Stewart, commanding at the siege of Cadiz.—" Isla, April 3, 1810.—The troops having wit nessed the gallant defence of Matogorda against the enemy, it is unnecessary to ? f old up the conduct of Maclaine of the 94th Regiment as a noble example of fortitude and perseverance. —JOEINMACDONALD,A.A.G." —"lsle de Leon, April, 23, 1810.--In these eventful times, it is only such gallant officers as you who ought to be promoted.—WlLLlA.ll STEWART, Major.

IPSWICH —APRIL 4. The excitement manifested during the previous week A all the maikets in the kingdom was equally shown at our market this day. The attendance of growers was small, owing no doubt to the large horse show and fair at Wood' bridge. Millers, therefore, showed anxiety to secure sal samples which were offered for sale, and we must write the advance to be fully 7s to Bs , and, in some i nstances, 100 per qr. from thi s day week. Several samples of barlet appeared to-day. The same were readily taken at an a vance of 2s to 3s per qr. Beans and peas slightly dearer. PER, QUARTER. PER QUARTS°.
