Did I request you to take me to a good telegraph office ? —Yes, you said to a respectable telegraph office, and I said Charing-cross was central and would be the most pro per place. Did you drive me to Charing-cross ?—Yes. Did I go into the office and stand at the counter to send a message ?—Yee, and I supposed to write one. was I not in conversation with a clerk at the office for some time ?—Yes. What is the distance from Chester-square to the station? —lt exceeds two miles. 1 cannot say how long I was waiting at Chester-square. I cannot exactly say. It might have been 10 or 12 minutes. I was first engaged at 116, Piccadilly. The distance from Picv.dilly to Chester square is about a mile. Chester-Fquare does not lay in the direction between Piccadilly and Waterloo Station. Captain Sir F. M'Clintock—What train did you miss Witness—The 8.30. Captain Sir F. 11PClintock—Did you ask if there was a later one to Portsmouth that night ? Witness—Yes, but we found that was the last either by the South Coast or South Western. Henry Webb, a porter in the employ of the London and South Western Railway Company, at Waterloo Station, said—Prisoner came to the station in a cab on Saturday evening, Oct. 29. There was 35 minutes to spare. He went away and returned just as the train was going out. He left his luggage with me for the 8.30 train. By Captain Sherard Osborn—The prisoner missed the 8.30 train. He took his luggage away from the station. By Prisoner--I believe it was only a carpet bag and hat box. I cannot say for certain. By Count Gliechen—The 8.30 train is the last train from Waterloo to Portsmouth, _~~' v i P echo in the breast of each ine 4 eithattaft*4'cli individual man is ready to leap - iqo'his he may discharge the duties belenginglo a Stizen of his country, without command, without coercion, from the free spontaneous impulse of his own mind and heart. (Cheers.) And therefore, gentlemen, the volunteer force of England is not merely an addi tion to the defensive power of the country. It is most important as an addition to the defensive power of the country. There is not a military man who will not echo that sentiment, or who will undervglue for a moment the strength, the new strength that it has contributed to the nation for every purpose of legi timate defence, and fir no purpose of illegitimate aggression.;:, Bat besides all this, it is something yet more than this . , it is an emphatic expression of the national character—a remarkable result of the character and working of British insti.utions. (Cheers.) Well, how great the question is, nnd question is one of very great interest-1,3 this Vo lunteer power to be permanent ? Is it an el:02( meral By the President—What trains run on Sunday ? Witness—Trains leave at 9.15, 10.15, 5, and 8.30. The Court then cleared, and remained in deliberation upwards of one hour, when it re-opened. The officiating Judge Advocate read the charges and the determination c,f the Court. The Court having heard the circumstances under which the prisoner broke his word of honour, found the second charge proved, and did for the offences admitted and proved adjudge prisoner to ba dis missed from her Majesty's service. The Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Volunteers. Yesterday being the Eve of St. Martin, the 13th and 14th companies of the Queen's (Westminster) Volunteers, comprising the St Martin's Division, assembled at the Freemasons' Tavern for their an nual festival. The Chancellor of the Exch( quer was present, and presided on the occasion. At the back of the right hon. gentleman were placed the colours of the St Martins Division of thre old West minster Volunteers, which had been for many years production of momentary public emotion, or is it to be cdded in fact and in the page of Ili,tory, as it h , ; s been in the breasts of our public essc.mbiics, to the iostitutioni , of the country ? When we spec. , /: of toe institutions of Euglna, we spcak, thank God ! ci something not transitory, but durable; and what we wish to know is whether this Volunteer power is to iii the custody of Capt. Irving, and were by that gentleman formally presented to the division about two years since, and they are now the recognised colours of the St Martin's Corps. About 150 mem- hers of the corps and their friends sat down to a very substantial supper, and after the cloth was re moved, and the ordinary toasts had been duly ho- ~ ,....4 ~,,,,e ., 3 take its place among those durable institutions. Now I venture humbly to say, in the first place, that it is desirable it should—and, in the second place, wo may with reasonable confidence trust and reckon that it will. (Cheers.) It is desirable, I say first, that the Volunteer power should take its place among the durable and permanent institu tions of the country, and it is so for many rea sons. It is desirable for our defence, for I confess that that not beicg one of those who have shared in the alarm which has passed over the public mind, yet, notwithstanding, 1 cannot fait to recognise, as every Englishman must do, the absolute necessity of maintaining, if need be, with a high and strong hand, at all times and under all circumstances, the independence and the just and legitimate influence of the country. (Cheers.) The more we are able to use, in the spirit of that independence, the means which are essential and necessarily defensive means, the sounder and more secure our position will be. But, then, the profession of arms is one of those professions with regard to which the most loyal of those who follow it must always hope that the occasions for its active exercise may be few and far between. And, therefore, we must try the Volunteer force likewise by some other test over and above those of the uses we should expect from it in case of the last necessity. Looking to the Volunteer force as a part of the pacific apparatus of this country, as belonging to the ordinary course of peaceful English life, I rejoice in its existence : for, in the first place, what attractions does it give to the minds of the young P At the time when the blood is warm and courses rapidly through the veins, and when the movements and enjoyments. excitements, in one form or another, all commend themselves to the man, the Volunteer force presents to the youthful mind high objects, high motives, and disinterested ends, and enables them to asso ciate their own recreation with that es hick is useful to their country and mankind. (Cheers.) Well, then, gentlemen, we are also a great commercial country, we are a great money-making country, a great mechanical country, and I hope we shall always be. (Cheers.) I certainly am net here to disparage those gifts of Englishmen which I think lie at the very root of the English character, crud which I think lie at the foundation,combined with the spirit of the nation, both of our success in war and of our prosperity and happiness in times of peace. But, at the same time, I think it is well that when we tie ourselves to the pursuits of the desk we should not forget altogether our corporeal existence, and that active exercise in every shape should con tinue to be among the distinguishing marks of Englishmen; and therefore that you—especially not engaged in the heart of this huge end almost unmeasured metropolis—should have these manly exercises presented to you, is, in my opinion, au object of the greatest value, as it is one which you have shown }'ourselves worthy to forward and ap preciate. Aed it is remarkable that in our greet towns and our more populous districts particularly —I say nothing in disparagement of the rest of the country, for I think the Volunteer movement hes spread over the whole of the country—but nowhere has it been welcomed with greater warmth end enthusiasm than in those great towns and cites where undoubtedly it was most desirable it should be so incoived by way of compensation to we at I may call our sedentary pursuits. (Cheers.) There ie, however, ono cf the points connected pith this movement to which I do not know whether I have before referred in this room cr not, but I feel so strongly upon it that I will venture to mention it again. It is this—Until the Volunteer force came into existence there was one special gap and one special defect in the military institutions of the country. We had an incomparable army and navy. I hope in this assembly we may call them incompar able without disparagement to the army and navy of any other country. We had an admirable army and Inavy, composed of officers and men. The officers were taken, speaking generally, almost uniformly from the upper classes, and the men from the lower classes of society. lam not going to set up against the upper or against the lower class, or any other class of society; but still I do maintain that bee tween those two classes of society there is a class which is of considerable importance termed the middle classes of society. (Cheers.) That middle class of society has, like every other class, its merits and its faults. But it is a class of very great weight and very great consequence is every well regulated country. In point of fact, if you go into any ill ordered country you will generally find it has not a good sound middle class; and if, on the other hand, you go into a well ordered country, you will find there is a strong middle class. In fact, the middle classis in a very great degree the cement between the upper and lower classes. (Cheers.) Until the Volunteer force came into existence an Englishman of the middle class, possessed of politi cal power, and wanting in none of the gifts and qualities which belonged to the other classes, had, I may say, speaking generally, no opportunity of exhibiting his desire for, and contributing his fair share to, the defences of his country. (Cheers.) 1 hold it to be a great permanent, na tional, and social gain that the creation of the Vo lunteer force has united as it has done in perfect harmony every class from the highest aristocracy of the land, which you see at the head of some of your metropolitan regiments, and the honest, laborious, industrious, ingenious mechanic, who has contributed so large a share towards making England what it is. The Volunteer force has brought all these to gether into one well-commanded body ; it has sup plied the lack and defect which existed before, and. has added a new social bond as well as a new mili. tug defence to the institutions of this country. (Cheers.) Well, now, gentlemen, I believe that your indulgence is very laudable, but at the same time, though perhaps you will think I am not in a condi• tion to say so, there is such a thing as modesty and decency in determining the length even of an after. dinner speech. (Laughter.) I have said quite enough on this matter, but what 1 have said I have spoken. with entire sincerity and undoubted conviction, and I believe it to be more desirable that the Volunteer services should become a permanent institution. I believe also that every reasonable ground justifies us in the anticipation that that is the position which the Volunteer force has now in substance already assumed. There is no sentiment of alarm in the public mind at the present moment. A peaceful consciousness of strength pervades the country, with an increased desire to cultivate friendly rela tions with every nation of the globe, and an in creasing belief that these pacific sentiments which govern in our own country are growing in other countries not our own, and an increasing sense of the innumerable benefits that attend upon the peaceful intercourse of nations, and the innumerable miseries that attend upon their conflict and collision in arms ; but with that pacific sentiment pervading the country, with that stable and confident expcca nation of continued tranquillity, notwithstanding we eee that the Volunteer force flourishes still--flourishes by its own merits, flourishes rest ing upon your conviction of its utility—and, there fore, I think we are justified in saying that, founded as it is upon the loyalty and patriotism of Eeglish men, and upon the reasonableness and useful less of its own character, we may, along with the ardent wish, give utterance to the sanguine anticipation that it is destined both to take and keep its place among the permanent institutions of our country. The right hon. gentleman concluded by prop osin g the toast of " The Army, Navy, and. Volunteers," which was drunk with great cheering. Colonel WOOD acknowledged the toast on behalf of the Navy. Col. M‘MunDO replied on behalf of the Army and Volunteers. Several other toasts of a complimentary character were proposed in the course of the evening, including " The Health of the Right Hon. Chairman," which was appropriately acknowledged by Mr Gladstone. noured, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said—l now rise to propose to you a toast which is familiar to every convivial assembly of Englishmen, but which is peculiarly significant on the present occa sion, inasmuch as this is a meeting fairly sustained by members of the Volunteer force. The toast which I shall propose to you is " The Army, Navy, and Volunteers of England." Now, gentlemen, with respect to the navy and army of England it is not requisite that I should say much, because the history of those illustrious services forms an inse■ parable part of the history of our:country, and it is written, I may say, not only in the pages of our literature, but upon the hearts of Eaglishmen. There has been no y cried, there has been no combi nation of circumstances, in all the vicissitudes of human tffAirs, when we had had cccobion to cAll upon the navy and army of England for the defence of our shores and homes, wii‘,:n those services have not answered the call in a manner to secure to them the gratitude of the country and the admiration of the world. (Cheers.) These things, gentlemen, not only are truths, but they have become truisms and commonplaces—and therefore there is no wish that we require to r x.- press, no hope that we need to form on the part of the navy and the army of England except this —that amid all the changes which modern science may introduce, amid all the external mutations which the forms of warfare and the instruments of warfare may undergo, the spirit by which these forces are animated may remain one and the same, and the army and the navy, or the navy and the army, of England may be in times to come what they have been in times which are gone by. (Cheers) But, gentlemen, the toast which is now upon my lips deals likewise with a younger force—a force named the Volunteers of England—and that is a force which is still, in one sense, in its infancy— but I think I may say with truth that if an infant, it is an infant Hercules. (Cheers.) It is no small honour for the Volunteer force of England that, by a spontaneous process, exciting no jealousy on the part of the older services, which perfectly well comprehended the harmonious relations subsisting between them and the Volunteers, yet, notwith standing, with little aid from the funds of the State, and mainly dependent upon those resources which individual character affords, the Volunteer torce—the offspring, as it has been of the indivi dual will of Englishmen, and the spirit of liberty and patriotism which pervades the nation—has within the last few years attained not only to such material magnitude, but to such moral power, that in every banquet where we meet together it is associated with the ancient and glorious army and navy of our country. (Cheers.) Now, gentlemen this is a fact of no small significance—that a body which numbers some 160,000 or 170,000 men should have sprung into existence as rapidly as if it had been summoned from the ground by the wand of an enchanter and by the exercise of preternatural power. But it was not, as we know, by a preter natural, but by a spontaneous and legitimate pro cess—by the free will and the intelligent convic tions of the people of this country. Gentlemen, there is no doubt that the creation of this Volunteer force has been a remarkable phenomenon, a great sign of the times in which we live. I doubt whether there is any country in the world where any pheno menon resembling this could have well occurred. Nay, more, I doubt whether in this country at any former period such a phenomenon could have pre sented itself to our view. It is quite true that this is. not the first period in our history when a power. ful Volunteer force strictly answering to that description has been created. Bat upon the last occasion when such a force came into being it was under the influence 2f immediate and urgent apprehensions; when the powers of the greatest military nation in the world, governed by the greatest military genius of modern, possibly of any period of history, were martially arrayed on the shore within a few leagues of our own, for the purpose of invading the sacred and hitherto undis turbed homes and hearths of England. Well, gen. tlemen, they were extraordinary circumstances, but the volunteer force of our time sprung into existence partly perhaps in connection with a sentiment of apprehension of some similar event, but undoubt edly in connection with such sentiment, it cannot be said that that sentiment was of the same charac ter as the apprehension which prevailed' GO years ago. Some alarm there may have been within the last four or five years, and that alarm served a very useful purpose if it contributed to the formation of the volunteer force. But I do not believe the alarm would have sufficed to bring that force into exist ence in any country except our own country, or in any period of time except the period of time in which we live, because I think the characteristic of this period is this—that we have a Government, laws, and institutions in which the governing power is identified with the will, the interests, and the convictions of those who arc governed, in a deg - ee perhaps unexampled in the history of the world. It therefore happens that the exigencies of the country, real or supposed, whatever they may be, do not require to be proclaimed by the voice of law, or enforced by the word of authority; they find an - - '-, - FRIDAY EVENING, 1N OV EMBER 11, 1864.

The report of the officials connected with the Steam Re serve who were directed some time since to make an inspec tion of the various vessels comprising the Chatham Steam Reserve, prior to a number of the steamers which are no longer fit for actual service being either broken up or sold out of the service, having been under the consideration of the Admiralty, their Lordships have decided on the immediate breaking up of a number of the paddlewheel and screw steamers now encumbering the channel of the Medway be tween Chatham harbour and Sheerness. The steamers, the orders for the breaking up of which have already been re ceived, are the paddlewheel steamer Dragon, 6, 1,270 tons, 660 horse power; the Hermes, 6, 830 tens, 220 horse power paddlewheel steamer; the Alacrity, 4, 675 tons, 200 horse power, screw sloop; the Renard, 4, 680 tons, 200 horse power, screw gunvessel; and the Wrangler, 4, 477 tons, 80 horse power, screw gunvessel. The vessels to be broken up will be removed round to the Thames, at Charlton, where extensive docks and premises have been taken by the Ad miralty to be used as a breaking-up yard for ships of war. 'rhe contract to supply the labour for breaking up the vessels has been taken by the firms of Messrs Castle and Sons and Mr Beech. The boilers, engines, and ma chiaery of each of the ships to be taken to pieces will be retained by the Admiralty, together with the whole of the copper bolts and metal, which latter, will be returned by the contractors. The Dragon will be towed round from Chatham to Charlton in the course of a few days, and the other vessels named will afterwards follow. The screw corvette Scout, 21, 1,462 tons, 400 horse power, is being rapidly pushed forward in her internal fitments, as she is required to be ready for commission by the end of the present month, the order for her to be completed for the first division of the Chatham Steam Reserve in the place of the Clio, 22, 400 horse power, having been altered by the Admiralty, who have determined in placing her in commis sion, her destination, it is understood, being the coast of Africa. Arrangements had been made for fitting the cor vette with eyebolts in the wake of her engines and machi nery, to enable her sides to be covered with chain cable when going into action, but instructions received at the dockyard direct the work to be stopped. The Barracouta, 6, paddlewheel sloop, 1,053 tons, 300- horse power, Commander John D'Arcy, which has been employed during the last four years on the North Ameri can and West Indian station, arrived at Sheerness yester day afternoon, and will be inspected by Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Talbot, K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief at Sheer ness, after which she will be paid out of commission, and placed in the third division of the Steam Reserve. The Ringdove, 4, screw gunvessel, 674 tons and 200 - horse power of engines, Commander Ralph A; 0. Brown, was paid out of commission yesterday at Portsmouth, atter a foreign service of nearly five years, having been commis sioned in October, 1869. During this period she has been employed off the coasts of China and Japan, and has gone over upwards of 250.000 miles under steam and canvas. George Bettesworth, leading stoker on board, received the medal and gra`uity awarded by the Admiralty for long ea . vice. Commander Brown's service in the Ringdove completed a 10 years continuous service in Chinese and Japanese water s. He joined the navy in 1819, and, after having served in the Penelope and her tender, the Teazer, on the West Coast of Africa, went out as midshipman in the Hornet, screw sloop, and served for the first nine months under the csm mend of Commodore Elliott against the Russians in the North of China. He was present and in charge of the Hos nel.'s pinnace at the capture of the 17 junks at St John's Deep Bay and in the operation against pirates in Escape Creek, Fateham. He commanded the Hornet's small arm company at the assault of Canton and the Bogue forts, and was promoted to lieut. in May, 1857, and in May, 1859, paid off the Hornet as her first lieut., under the command of Capt. Viscount Gilford. In Sept, of the same year ho fitted out the Sphinx, 6, paddle, as first lieut., under Capt. Day, and again went out to China,where he commanded a rocket boat at Taku and Tien-tsin. He was several times after wards engaged with Chinese rebels and pira es, and after wards sent in acting command of the Sphinx to the North Pacific in search of the shipwrecked crew of the English ship Norna, whom, after a four months' search, succeeded in finding and rescuing. He was made Commander in Sept., 1862, by Admiral Sir Jas. Hope, and appointed afterwards by that officer to the Ringdove, Since the arrival of the Ringdove at Portsmouth, Commander Brown, his officers and crew, have been formally tried by court martial for having grounded that vessel on the Bombay shoal while on her passage from Hongkong to Labuan. Commander Brown was reprimanded, the master admonished, and the remain der of the officers and crew were acquitted. The Prussian screw corvette Vineta, Capt. Struber, an chored at Spithead yesterday, last from Kiel. The corvette exchanged the customary salutes with the King's bastion of Portsmouth garrison and H.M.S. Victory, the flagship of the Port Admiral. Capt. Struber afterwards landed, and, accompanied by Vice Consul Vandenbergh, paid his respects to Admiral Sir M. Seymour, G.C.B , and Major Gen. Lord W. Paulet, C. 8., the Naval and Military Commanders in Chief. The Racoon, 20, screw corvette, Capt, Count Gleichen, sailed from Spithead yesterday afternoon for Gibraltar. The Himalaya, screw troopship, Capt. E. Lacy, at Ports mouth, has had some defects discovered in her after crank, and the result of a survey held on board yesterday indicates the probability of this efficient troopship being paid out of commission. The Fervent, gunboat, 60 horie power, intended as a ten der to the Malaita, training frigate for the Royal Naval Reserve, arrived at Bristol on Wednesday from Plymouth. She was armed with an Armstrong 40-pounder and other guns of heavy calibre, but yesterday she started again for Plymouth for lighter guns. Some weeks since attention was called in The Sun to a new system of coloured night signals, which have been in vented by Lieut. Chas. J. Brownrigg, Flag Lieut. to Vice Admiral Sir C. Talbot, K.C.8., Commander in Chief at the Nore. This invention having since been thoroughly tested by actual experiment from ship to ship, the captains um der whom the test was conducted have reported most favourably of the invention to the Admiralty ; but their lordships have declined to adopt it, on account of Com mander Colomb's system of signals being about to be intro duced into the service. Lieut. Brownrigg has, however, re ceived their lordships' commendation of his system, on ac count of the greatingenuity and simplicity which it displays. The following promotions and appointments in the corps of Royal Marines Light Infantry were announced in divi sional orders at headquarters, Chatham, yesterday : Col. and Second Commandant William H.

Lewis, one of the coroners for the county of Essex, and a jury of the inhabitan s, opened an inquest at the Bell and Anchor Tavern, Plaistow, on the headless body of a man, supposed to be that of a young German named John Fuhrhop, and which had been found in the neighbouring marshes on the afternoon of Tuesday last, as already reported. The body lay in an outhouse of the inn, as did also the head, which had been found on Wednesday, and they were then seen by the jury. The murder has caused great excitement throughout a very populous neighbourhood,and the inquest-room was crowded during the proceedings. As already reported, a man named Karl Kohl, of 4, Hoy street, Plaistow, sugar baker, is now in custody on suspicion of being concerned in the murder. Josiah Gaster, of 1, Bromley-street, Poplar, was the first witness called,and he proved the finding of the body among the reeds in the Plaistow-marshes on Tuesday,at 20 minutes past 1 o'clock. This witness repeated the evidence which he had already given before the magistrate at Stratford. Wm. Brigley, sergeant of the K division of police, said that on Tuesday, at a quarter to 2 o'clock, he was on duty in the North Woolwictr-road, when he met the previous witness, who told him that the headless body of a man had been found in some reeds on the Thames bank,at the north side of the river. Witness went to the spot and saw the body lying quite straight on its back, the left arm by its side, and the right arm across the breast. He searched the trousers pocket, and found in it a bit of paper containing German words (it was a small scrap of a note or letter), and a farthing, There was very little blood, lie searched in the neighbourhood on Thursday morning, and about 40 or 50 feet from where he saw the body he found a pool of blood in a ditch, Some 45 feet from that he came upon the handle of a hammer. The blood in the ditch was large in quantity, and it seemed to him to be mixed with water. The head was found near the river by the Thames police on Wednesday, and it was identified in his presence as be longing to the body. Henry Zuckh, a German, living at 2, Hoy-street,Plnistowr was called. He said he knew the deceased, and first saw him about five weeks ago, when he told witness he had lately come from Hamburg. Yesterday (Wednesday) week he last saw him alive. The deceased lett his house in the evening, about tea-time, with the prisoner Kohl, and witness did not again see him alive. The next day Kohl called at his house, and said he had left the deceased in the Commercial-road, and had not seen him since. Witness asked him if the man (meaning the deceased) had got any money. He said he had £4 10s. Witness remarked to Kohl that if he met a street-girl he would perhaps spend the money with her. Kohl and witness were alone when that converaation took place. Kohl said if he spent the money he would turn him out of the house, as he would have no money to go to Ger many with. Kohl said he had lent Funrhop, the deceased, a copper to go over the iron bridge. He did that, he said, in order that he might not have to change the £4los. Kohl then left witness's house to go home. It was then about 1 o'clock in the day. He came to witness's house again in the even ing, but he said nothing about the deceased of any import ance. Witness now identified the body of the deceased by the boots. The deceased had called to ask if he could repair them, and witness knew them again from one of the boots being worn on the inside and the other being worn on the outside. He was certain they were the boots the deceased had spoken to him about. They were of German make. He had seen the head of the murdered man, and he was able to identify it by the appearance of the features. Thames Police -inspector Uoode was called, and deposed that about half-past six on Wednesday morning he went on shore on the reed bed at Plaistow in search of the deceased man's head. He looked about for a considerable time, but was unable to find it. About half-past 7he saw a man named Jones, and asked if he knew the exact spot where the body was found. He said he did not, but he believed it was about 30 yards from the spot where they then were. He went across a ditch to the reed bed And called out to witness, " I think I have found the head." Witness ran to the spot where Jones was standing and saw a hole which Jones pointed out, and which he said was a rat's hole. Blood was observable in the hole. Witness removed the earth and found the head of a man about three inches from the surface. There was a cut extending from the right eye brow to the lower lip, as if done with a chopper, and a scalp wound on the forehead, He had it taken to the Graving Dock Tavern, where the body then lay. Mr E, J, Morris, surgeon, said he saw the body of the deceased about halv-p ist 11 in the evening of Tuesday last, There was no head to it. The muscular fibres about the neck were all eaten away, apparently by rats. The clavicles and cervical vertebree were laid bare. The akin and part of ihe muscular fibres on the left shoulder were partially eaten away, and on the right arm the flesh was eaten away in two places, as was also the flesh of both hands, more particularly that of the left hand. The flesh on the right cheek was also eaten away by rats. He found an exten sive fracture on the occipital bone on the left side, pone • trating into the brain. There were also two fractures on the frontal bone. Ile should say the wounds were inflicted prior to death. The wounds were mereehan sufficient to ac count for death. The one at the back of the head appeared to have been inflicted with a chopper, but those on the front seemed to have been occasioned by hammer. The head was not cut off until after death. Elizabeth Warren, wife of James Warren, 3, Nelson street, Plaistow-marsh, labourer, said she knew deceased. He had two handsome front teeth in the upper jaw, and she identified the body by that circumstance among others, He was a German, and she only knew him by his Christian name of John. He came to lodge at her house between five and six weeks ago. The man Kohl, now in prison, brought him to her house. He lodged with her 13 at 3, h likeo u t ; days. He left her house a month ago last Monday night, b u t called next day to take away his clothes, accompanied by a German named Butcher, whom she had known b y sight about the marsh. While deceas ed was at her house Kohl came backwards and forwards to s ee him, and occa eionally took him to London. When deceased left her house o n the Monday night he had four sovere i g ns and 7s 6d in s ilver. Kehl was then present and saw the money. The de ceased owed her £2 for 13 days washing and lod g in g and board. Both Kohl and deceased disputed the amount, w hich they thought was t oo much. She received 25 a f rom deceased, and the next day he called with Butch er, who p aid h e r the balance, 153, and he and deceased took the lugg a g e a way. It was a large portmanteau and in it were his clothes, i nc l u ding a dozen shi r t s , t en pairs of socks, three flanne l s hirts, three pairs of trousers, two of them b lack and the o ther gray, two coats, a gra y suit, a dark overcoa t, a tra velling rug, two pairs of boots and two pairs of shoes, one of the pairs of boots being Wellingtons, and th e other spring sided. He wore a silver watch with a gold Albert chain, and had a plain gold ring on his finger. He had a g old rin g for his necktie, with a pi ece o f col al in it, and a gold handker chief pin. Ho had also two leather hat b oxes, in one of w hich was a beaver h a t, an d in the other a " billy cock" tur ned up at the sides. Th e re were also a few books in his b o x, some likenesses, and cards of all descriptions. He told w it n ess he had come f rom G er many with Kohl , S u perintendent Howi e , o f the K division of metropolitan po li c e, was called. He s a id—On Thursday evening I went to the house of Ferdinand Edward Karl K o h l, at 4, Hoy street, Plaistow - marsh. I there saw Karl Kohl, his wife , a nd Joseph Williams, her brother. I inqui re d i f a G erman ma n was missing from their house. Karl Kohl replied that a young man whom he called John, and whose , acquaint ance he had made on a recent passage from Ham burg to London , had been missing since last Thurs - J ohn had lodged with a Mrs Warren day. He also said that before comi n g to lod g e with Nelsonhira.street, Plaistow-m ars h , w hi c h l o d g i n gs he did noi that when John came t o l o d ge w ith him he was w m oney, and he had since been pawning his clothes. He told me that on Thursday last he accompanied John to w the London Doc ks to look for a shi p , and that a fterwards he w he described as being at the w ab ee o na u tt t ie n l ntd o o 'c a sugare l f o t k in bakery th the Commercial-ro a d, htch and said the time was day. He said that when he went into s the sugar bakery h e left John outs ide , and on his returnin g to the and he could not find him. He a s ci n e r t h i e la i lit t daollen Y e e away the body which had been found, and was was that of J o h n , as i t h a d n o head, but esaid streeth note had b the trousers were like his, A youth named Henry Lees, of 2, High-street, Plaistow marsh, labourer, said—l work at an oil factory at Plaistow, and I knew the deceased. My landlord, Henry Zutch, is a German, and the deceased used to call at his house. I have seen him about a dozen times, and have occasionally bade him " Good evening.'' I saw the head last night, and I believe it to be that of the Germa n in question. I know it by the features. I saw him last alive last Thursday morn ing about 10 o'clock. I was then working at Plaistow wharf, and saw Kohl and the young man together. I had ftw known Kohl before , but not lon g . I was only a few y ards from whe r e t htehme. body They going towards the reed-bed four minutes' walk f rom the p lace . They were walkin g side by side. I remar ked to a y oun g man wi t h whom I was working " Here a re two Germans who o c casionall y call to see my landlord ." I did not see the decease d a g ain. I saw Kohl in the evening about half- p ast 4 at my lod g in g s. He was talking to my l andlord about t he young man g oin g to y was were then afterwards fou n d, an d a b ou t three or aer London, and about his having gone into a sugar baker's and left the young man outside. I replied that I had seen them both that morning about 10 o'clock. To that he made no answer. He afterwards said that on coming out of the sugar baker's he found the young man was gone. He also said he found on going home that the young man's clothes had been taken away. The landlord and Kohl then began to talk in German, which I don't understand. By a Juryman—When witness saw them in the morning they were both smoking, and Kohl had his hand in one pocket. At this point, there being no mere evidence forthcoming, the inquest was adjourned for a week. PORTSMOUTH, Thursday. A naval court martial, composed of Capt, H. Caldwell C.B. (president), Capts. S. Osborn, C. 8., Royal Sovereign —Sir L. M'Clintock, Aurora—Hon, A. A. Cochrane, C. 8., Warrior—Count Gloichen, Racoon—J. Seccombe, Dulre of Wellington- 3 . H. Henderson, Urgent— Goodenough, Victoria, assembled yesterday on board her Majesty's ship Victory at Portsmouth, for the trial of Lieut. Lord Arthur Pelham Clinton, on the following charges : " 1. For that he the said Albert Sidney Pelham Clinton being in actual service and full pay in her Majesty's fleet, and midshipman on board the Edgar, did, on or about the s:h day of September desert from the eaid ship. " 2. For that he, &c., did not return on board her Ma jcsty's ship Victory until about a quarter to ten o'clock on the evening of the 30th of October, 1864, he having given his word of honour to return on the 2 th," &c., &c. The formal business having been disposed of, The officiating Judge Advocate said—l am desired by prisoner's friend (C. H. Bicsteed, Esq., of the firm of Bin steed and Elliot, solicitors) to intimate to the Court that prisoner desires to plead guilty to the first charge, and to admit the facts contained in the second, but under extenu ating circumstances, which he desires to submit to this hon. Court. The Court permitted Mr Binateed to read the following statement : Mr President and gentlemen of this honourable Court, I respectfully request permission from this honourable Court to plead guilty to the first charge, and to admit the facts of the second. 1 cannot deny that I have been absent from my ship without leave so long as to constitute the first offence charged ; but I respectfully submit to the honourable Court that the whole train of circumstances connected with my offence show that it was not my intention to desert from her Majesty's service; that, however censur able my folly and thoughtlessness may have been, I am in nocent of any deliberate intention to desert my duty. I am aware that I must be answerable for my actions inde pendent of my motives, but I trust this honourable Court will leniently consider the peculiar circumstances of my case, and give me the benefit of those circumstances which indubitably show the absence of any criminal intent. I had gone on leave to the Isle of Wight for two days, leaving all my effects on board, and taking only a requisite change of clothing—and on Sept. 5 I had come over to Portsmouth within the limit of my leave to rejoin my ship, when I accidentally lost my train. I immediately telegraphed to one of my messmates, Mr Chamters, but my message was returned next day undelivered in consequence of the sailing of the fleet. I produce the letter which I received to that effect from the clerk at the telegraph office. On the following Thursday I heard by the papers that the fleet had arrived at Portland, and I had left my hotel and was preparing to proceed thither when—with my portmanteau, on my way to the station—l drove to Messrs Galt and Gieve, outfitters, Portsmouth, for some clothes they had made for me, and in their warehouse I heard that a naval officer had stated that he had heard from Sir Frederick Grey that the fleet was at Torquay and not Portland. in this uncertainty I foolishly proceeded to London, in the hope of hearing ace curately at the Admiralty, and then, on ascertaining, I again telegraphed to Mr Chambers, and late on Sunday evening received his reply that the fleet would sail next morning. I was thus again unable to join. In this di lemma I felt uncertain how to act, and the serious, and as it proved fatal illness of my lamented father deprived me of his counsel and advice. A subsequent telegram from Mr Chambers, apprising me that I was marked " run" on the ship's books, more alarmed me, and I began to realise the consequences of my misconduct and to dread the anguish it would occasion to my father in his flickering health if I should be tried by a court-martial, and I - unhappily shrank from the risk of rejoining my ship. I can now only cast myself on the mercy of this honourable court, trusting that my youth and the peculiar circumstances of my father's ill ness may be allowed as some mitigation of the offence I have committed. and that the fact that I did leave all my effects, including jewellery and other trifles which a pocket would contain, on board my ship, and that I was in telegraphic communication with my msssmates, who knew my real ad dress, will be deemed satisfactory proof that I had no evil purpose in the onset, but was foolishly led on by circum stances which I now deeply lament. To the second charge I respectfully plead not guilty, but I admitthe facts embodied in the charge, viz., that I did give my written word of hon our as alleged to return on board her Majesty's ship Victory on the 20th Oct., and that I did not, in fact, return until the 30th. I trust the circumstances which I shall have the honour of sut mitting to this honourable court will entitle me to au acquittal on the charge, providing that my non performance of my promise was an accident resulting from excessive imprudence and not from criminality, I cannot enter in my defence in this charge without expressing my sense of the kindness of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty and the captain of my ship in granting me leave to squid the funeral of my father, while the cloud of my first charge was hanging over me, and I readily admit that I should well deserve any punishment that could be in flicted on me if I could have intentionally broken my parole on that occasion. I trust I shall satisfy this honourable Court that I d:d not. On the evening of Saturday, the 27th of October, I was staying at my brother's house in Picca. dilly. One of his servants called me a cab, and I drove to the 'Waterloo station, and found on my arrival that I had 35 minutes to spare before the departure of the train. I wanted to mention to my sister something which I had for gotten, and I asked the cabman how long it would take to drive me to Chester-square. He replied twelve minutes, and, thinking that would leave me abundant time, I directed him to go, and I left my luggage in the charge of Henry Webb, porter No. 55. I did go to Chester-square, and did return, and I believe 1 should have been in ample time if one side of the road in Birdcage-walk, half a mile in length, had not been broken up, which greatly delayed the return of the cab, which was unable to leave its rank. We arrived in Waterloo just as the train went out of the station, and on my inquiry about a special train, I found at that hour it would be difficult to obtain, besides being very ex pensive. I directed the cabman to drive me to a good tele graph station, and he drove me to Charing-cross, and he saw me at the counter for 12 minutes by the clock. The clerk told me that being after time he could not ensure the message going that night, but he would try, and I accord ingly paid him for a message to the following effect ad dressed to the captain of her Majesty's ship Victory, that "I had lost my train, and should be down early the next morning." The cab-driver is a very respectable man, well known at the Waterloo Station, and he will testify to the great anxiety I manifested at the untoward loss of my train and the urgency of my desire to transmit a message im mediately. I have not been able as yet to discover why this message has not been delivered. My solicitor has in quired at the Portsea Station, and finds that it did not arrive there. The clerk at the railway station replies that his books are sent back to head-quarters every two days, and he cannot recollect. The result of my solicitor's in quiries in London have not yet transpired. I slept that night at the Grosvenor Hotel, telling the man to call me at seven o'clock. He neglected to do so, and I did not awake till ten, and then I was not in time for the 10 15 train, and being Sunday there was only one other (a five hour train) till five o'clock, by which I came, and having obtained some refreshment, 1 went on board her Majesty's ship Victory, expecting that my telegram, ex plaining my misfortune, would have long preceded me. I shall call before this honourable Court the railway porter and the cab-driver, who will corroborate my statement, the former not sought out by me, but called by the official application of the Judge Advocate to the secretary of the railway company, and the other one of the regular attene dents at the Waterloo Station, by whose people he was found out for my solicitor, and I believe that these witnesses will satisfy this hon. Court that in this particular I have not intentionally, even for an instant, delayed the perform ance of my promise, and that I am not deserving of the censure which should justly fall on any one who, to the ungrateful disregard of a 'valued favour, could superadd the violation of his honour. I submit to this hon. Court that while admitting to the full my extreme indiscretion in risking the occurrence of any casualty when I was once safely at the station, and however strongly appearances may at first have naturally seemed against me, yet that I am not guilty of the grave and heinous offence contained in the second charge. And now, on the first charge, of whioh I stand guilty, I must once more appeal to the merciful consideration of this hon. Court. I trust that my youth, and the peculiar circumstances under which I was placed, and my father's illness and recent death, will induce this hon. Court to believe that my misconduct was the result of thoughtlessness and follf, and the absence of control and advice, more than the desire to evade the needful discipline of her Majesty's service, and that in enforcing the needful discipline, and in maintaining the supremacy of order over irregularity, this hon. Court may so temper justice with e di sh mercy on o a u s rn which t h a i e l h t o g h e i s t h f e o r l t y o c h r a u s s h b r o o n u e g ht on t overwhelmed h em e m w o i t r h y t h o his father. Edward Edwards, cab-driver, said on Saturday evening, October 29th, he drove prisoner from Piccadilly to the Waterloo Station. Prisoner found on arrival that ho had 35 minutes to spare. The President—Let the witnesses retire for us to consider this question. The court was cleared for more than half an hour. Captain Scott said, in reply to a question, if the Court were satisfied as to thef acts admitted he had no desire to cross-examine the two witnesses. There was one point that he wished to remark upon, and that was in reference to the telegram. He received no telegram fro.n prisoner. Edwards continued—You asked me how long it would take to drive to Chester-square. Did yen say it would take twelve minutes ?—Yes- But for the state of Birdcage walk should we have been in time?-011, yes. et. I. I 8 J '(.l 7° ' /4"lt
