XONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. No alteration has been made to-day in the Bank of England rate of discount. The events of the past week had so distinctly pointed to the probability of a change that some surprise was occasioned when it transpired that no new measure h a d b een a d o pt e d. The ad v i ces f rom the Continent reporting further increase in the value of money, the withdrawals of gold from the Bank of England, and the very exceptional proceedings of the authorities yesterday in charging -I per cent. more than the minimum for some first-class bills, all tended to lead the public into the belief that the directors would from these circumstances be forced to further enhance their official quotations. The bill-brokers also ve r y genera ll y part i c i pa t e d in this opinion, and as a consequence have lately refrained from accept ing anything but short-dated paper. A special general meeting of the shareholders of the Bank of Wales was held to-day for the purpose of repealing certain articles of association having reference to the annulling of the rule allowing the directors to purchase shares on behalf of the CCM pany, and also repealing laws respecting the ap pointment of auditors, the holding of meetinge, &c. Mr. S. N. Daniell occupied the chair, and having proposed the confirmation of the resolutions pre viously agreed upon, the meeting assented, and the proceedings then terminated. About 160,000 sovereigns were drawn from the Bank yesterday for transmission to Alexandria. The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as under : Great Western 1863. 1862.£,69 L 54,138 North-Western South- Western Great Northern I ancashire and Yorkshire 35,080 32,652 North-Eastern South-Eastern. 18,905 19,179 Brighton Midland Bristol and Exeter Great Eastern Manchester Sheffield, and Lincoln 1 6 ,146 14 ,7 43 North British Scottish North-Eastern 4,820 4,577 The returns are in most instances of a very sa tisfactory character. On the Great Western there is an increase of £3,571; on the North Western of 1:6,172 ; on the South Western of £l,lOB ; on the Great Northern of £3,310 ; on the Lancashire and Yorkshire of £2,428 ; on the North Eastern of 2,536; on the Midland of £2,166 ; on the Great Eastern of £2,502 ; on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln of £1,403; and on the North British of £789, while the South Eastern exhibits a decrease of £274 and the Brighton of £461. Two o'CLocK. At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes. Were 67f. 20c. Flat. A very decided change for the better has come over the aspect of affairs in the Stock Exchange Markets this morning. The circumstance that the Bank of England authorities have not raised their rate of discount has given a great impulse to bu&. 'lees, and a perceptible improvement is manifested. In Consols the advance amounts to per cent., the quotations being 921 7 for money, and 914 ,t, less the dividend, for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 90 ; the Thirty Years' 14,1, ; and the Red Sea Telegraph, 204 ; Ex chequer Bills are marked Bs. 3s. dis. ; Bank s tock is 237; India Stock, 221; the 5 per Cent. Lo an, 1081 e ; the 51 per Cent. Enfaced Paper, 114 4 ; and the Debentures are 9911. The rise has been most perceptible in the Foreign market where a good business has been transacted. Mexican have risen viz., to 374 38 ; Greek, I, to 33 111. •; do., Coupons, to 14* 4 ; Spanish Passive, b ' to 34 Z-4 ; the Certificates, g, to 134 1-; but the Confederate Loan has declined to 56 58; Turkish 6 Per Cents., 1862, are 691 70; do., Consolides have rise n I) to 47' 1; Portuguese, 1862, are 48i ; and Italian, 70 3 I. The alterations in the Railway Share Market 1 7 1 'e not been very extensive. Prices, h owever , v e in most instances shown an upward movement. Gr eat Western and Metropolitan have improved 41 ; Great Eastern, Brighton, North Eastern (Berwiek), 10a.; and North Western and South Eastern 5s • The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without Material alteration. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares generally have also been at slightly enhanced quotations. BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK. Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 3 per Cent.

LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 19, 1863. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before the Lord Chief Baron and Barons Bramwell, Channell, and Pigott.) TEE ATTORNEY• GENERAL V. SILLIAN AND OTHERS,-THE SEIZURE OF THE ALEXANDRA. Mr. Kerslake, Q.C. continued his argument against the rule that there should be a new trial. He contended that;the equipment of the ship should be of a warlike character, in controversion of the view held by the Attorney-General at the trial that even an innocent equipment rendered the ship liable to forfeiture. He continued in support of the view held by Sir H. Cairns, who said that when you look at the word equip, there shall be an equipping in a warlike manner, or that the vessel shall be equipped for war as that she shall be ready to commit hostilities as soon as she leaves the shores. The Attorney• General had said that if the holding of the defendants were good, the Act was useless and might be blotted from the statute book. By no means. There were offences made by the Act which are well provided against. The Lord Chief Baron—Before the passing of this Act there was no distinction between a gun and a ship. You may now order a gun at Birmingham or anywhere else, and say--" This is for one of the belligerents, to be taken to one of their ports, to be sent on board of one of their ships, to be expressly used for the purpose of war with those with whom you are at peace." You may do it, and lam not aware that you could not do it with a ship. No doubt you may order a gun for a ship. The statute makes that which was perfectly lawful before a crime and misdemeanour. Mr. Kerslake proceeded to consider the summing up of the learned Lord Chief Baron, which was objected to on the ground that it did not put to the jury the question of "at tempting or endeavouring" to commit the offence. It was unfair on the part of the Crown, after resting the case upon the principal charge, now to come forward and take excep tion to the direction of the learned judge. In common fairness he thought he should have relied upon the first eight counts. Baron Bramwell asked what the learned counsel would say of the case of a person openly confessing that he was building a ship for one of the belligerents, and fitting her out with an innocent fitting with a view to enabling her to go, say to the coast of Africa? Mr. Karslake—l consider it is no more an offence than if he had sent out the iron plating intended for the arming of the ship, to some foreign port, to be fitted on there. Barok Bramwell—You say it must be an immediate armament to be an offence under the Act Mr. Karslake—Yes ; you must not make one of the ports of this country a port of departure for a warlike ship. Baron Brarnwell—But it may be said that you should look not only at the immediate intent, but at the remote intent—at all the intents intended to fellow. Baron Pigott—l think that the section as to the forfei ture may inform us as to the intention of the Legislature. It says that breaking the law in the case forfeits the ship or vessel with the tackle, together with all the arms, ammuni tion, or stores which may belong to her, or which maybe on board. The Act apparently contemplated that there may be none on board. Mr. Kerslake dissented from this. Baron Bramwell—Supposing the armament were brought dawn to the abip's side, it would not be on board. The learned Baron did not think this was necessarily an argu ment against Mr. Kerslake. Mr. Karslake—Looking at the whole of the section, the object was apparently that the porta of the kingdom shall not be made ports of departure for hostile purposes—a sta tion of hostilities. That view of the case is supported by the nature of the occasion on which the Act was passed, and by the whole history of legislation on the subject. Mr. Mellish, Q.C., then followed on the same aide. He would not, after the exhaustive arguments of his learned friends, occupy the court by a lengthy address. He held that it was perfectly lawful under the Act for any one Know ingly to build a ship adapted for war, under a contract with one of two belligerents, and to deliver that ship, and to equip that ship so far as necessary to enable it to sail away to be delivered here or elsewhere to that belligerent in an unharmed state. At the conclusion of the learaed gentleman's argument, The Attorney-General proceeded in reply, and was ad• teasing the Court when we went to press. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) HUDSON V. HUDSON. This was a suit for judicial separation, by reason of the husband's cruelty. The marriage was solemnised in 1854, and there was a settlement of £l,OOO upon the wife during her lifetime. Shortly after marriage, according to the statement of the learned counsel, the respondent became addicted to habits of intemperance, and conducted himself in such a cruel manner that she was compelled to leave him in 1862, since which time there had been no cohabitation. The husband denied the allegations contained in the petition. Mrs. Jane Hudson said—l was married in the year 1854. My father was a private gentleman, and my husband's parents were independent people. My husband received £l,OOO on that occasion, and we then went to live at Head corn, in Kent, at Coalbarn Farm, Barringdon. My hus band was very sober for more than 12 months, but after that he became subject to intoxication, and threatened me. His habits of drinking got worse, but we resided till 1859 in Kent. On one occasion he drove me and my daughter to Falerden. As we were returning he drove up a bank, overturned the chaise, and we were all thrown out. My husband said he was sorry my neck was not broke, as he intended to do it. I was confined to bed for a week. One night in the year 1862 he came home very late, and in a state of intoxication, and said he would " do" for me, and after that he told me to go out of the house or he would kick me out, On another occasion he came home in a different kind of hat to that which he was in the habit of wearing, and when I asked what had become of his hat, he said that was his business, and then he threw a bowl of cold water over me. He after that brought two men of a low description home, and made me prepare supper for them. They stayed till two o'clock in the morning, and my husband slept in the chair till four o'clock. I remained up all that time, and when he roused up a little he became violent because I persuaded him to go to bed. I was always afraid to go to bed when he was in toxicated. During one of the hop picking seasons in 1862, which lasted three weeks, he was not sober for a single day. I was finally compelled to leave him in October, 1862. Cross-examined by Dr. Spinke—l cannot . recollect the precise date when I left, I remained in the house about a week after my husband brought the two men home to supper. About that time Mr. Hudson was in difficulties, he was losing money every day by the farm, and since I left him I have heard he has sold the place. When the chaise was upset my husband was thrown out, but he was not hurt. I am certain he drove up the bank purposely. He said after he had done so that he intended to break my neck, and was sorry he had not done so. My husband did not come daily to see me while I was confined to my bed. He sent some wine, but nothing further. When he threw the water over me he said nothing about washing his hands. 1 never irritated my husband. Mr. John Underhill, surgeon, said he met Mr. Hudson after the accident referred to by Mrs. Hudson. I spoke to him about it, and he said, " Oh, my wife jawed me, so I turned her over." (Laughter,) I afterwards attended Mrs. Hudson, during which time her husband seemed in quite a frenzied state. I told him if he kept on drinking he'd kill himself. He said he would leave off, and a short time after that I met him, when he told me he was drinking nothing but toast and water. After Mr. Hudson had thrown the water over his wife, I expostulated with him, when he said, " Oh, it's all right, Doctor, when you're married you'll find out all about it." (Laughter.) On another occasion I mot Mr. Hudson in a very excited state. I asked him how he was, when he said ho should be all right if it was not for his wife. (Laughter.) Cross-examined—l deliberately swear Mr. Hudson told me he upset the chaise intentionally. I don't know that Mrs. Hudson was in the habit of " jawing" her husband. 1 don't know that she "nagged" at him. She always ap peared very resigned. The case was proceeding when we went to press, The Price of Gold. • The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.30 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appear that gold is about 2-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per £1 sterling. tandard gold at the English Mir ttprice is, therefore, nearly 2-10 f hs per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 0 days' sight is 1591 to 160 i per cent., and the premium on gold Is about 46 percent, At these rates there is a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. The bidding for 6 0,00,000 rupees (X 600,000) in bills on India took place at the Bank of England yesterday. Annexed are - official particulars :—The proportions allotted were —to Calcutta, 26,00,000 rupees; to Bombay, 2 2,00,000 rupees; and to Madras, 2,00,000 rupees. The minimum price declared was, as before, ls. 114 d. per rupee on Caloutta and Madras, and la 112 d on Bombay. The applications within the limits amounted to 170 lees. Tenders on Calcutta at is 11 1 d will receive about 20 per cent. ; on Bombay at 2s Old; about 50 per cent.; on Madras at is 111 d, and all above these ra t es i n aboutfull. 75 per cent.; EDUCATION IN CANADA.—The annual report of the chief superintendent of education shows an at tendance in 1862 at the public elementary schools of 343,733 pupils in Upper Canada, and 139,474 in Lower Canada. Allowing for increase of population since the census, it is considered that this amounts to about 22 per cent, of the population of Upper Canada, and about 11 per cent, in Lower Canada. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—TMs DAY• MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OP BREAKING SIR CHARLES EASTLAKE'S WINDOWS.—George Williams, a respectable looking man, described as a sailmaker, of 14, Evans-street, Poplar, was charged before Mr, Yardley with wilfully breaking two panes of glass of the value of Bs, the property of Sir Charles Eastlake, the president of the Royal Aca demy, residing at No. 7, Fitzroy-square. Niclvdas Tucker, butler to Sir Charles Eastlake, said — I got this letter from Sir Charles, and by his desire when prisoner came this morning I gave him into custody, Two windows had been broken, and prisoner admitted he broke them, and said he wished to be given into custody. I have seen the prisoner before, He was at the house some years ago, He then came to see a young person who he was keeping company with, and who was then living in the house. The value of the windows broken is about Bs. Prisoner—l don't wish to put you to any trouble, sir. I have received a deep injury from a relative of Sir Charles Eastlake's. Mr. Yardley--j will at once tell you that, although lam disposed to allow you every latitude, I will hear nothing irrelevant to the charge. You seem to me to have acted like a madman. Prisoner--I have had enough to make me mad. Mr. Yardley (to the butler)—llss there been any com munication with the prisoner and any person in your house during the last 10 years ? The Butler—There has not; the person alluded to is the prisoner's wife. Mr. Yardley—l will not look at the letter. Prisoner—Will you oblige me by looking at it. I admit it is in my handwriting, and I should have thought that any one would have answered the letter instead of putting one to the trouble of doing this. _ _ _ Mr. Yardley, having perused the letter, said—The letter is a threat undeniably, and undoubtedly, and connected with your act it is particularly so. It is a threat to do some indefinite, undefined, unlawful act. Prisoner—l can get no law on my side. I intend no personal violence to any one. Mr. Yardley—You hear from the butler that the person you claim as your wife is not at Sir Charles Eastlake's. For your net I could send you for hard labour ; but as you seem a respectable person, and you may have, or suppose you have, some ground for what you have done, I shall not do that, but the sentence I shall pass is, that you be im prisoned for seven days; and I do this with some regard tor yourself, and I hope you will by that time and on reflec tion be a wiser and better man ; but if it occurs again I will send you for hard labour, if not for trial. Prisoner—When I come out will you give me some ad vice how to act ? Mr. Yardley—Come to me and I will Jo so. A BRUTAL SON.—George Jones, a young man, described as a boot-closer, was charged with assaulting his mother, and wilfully destroying a clock. Mr. Elizabeth Clarke (the mother, she being married a second time and being a widow), said—l wish for protec tion, My son came home last night drunk, and acted as if he was mad. Ho seized up a chair and smashed a clock. Mr. Yardley —Did he assault you ? The Mother—No, Mr. Yardley—Prisoner, what have you to say? It is evident your foolish mother is suppressing the truth; and if you did not assault her, she has caused the constable to exceed his duty in taking you into custody. Sergeant Harrison, acting inspector—The prosecutrix's mouth was bleeding when the prisoner was charged, and the prisoner has been charged with similar conduct before. Mr. Yardley—Prisoner, I can understand your mothsr not wishing to press the case, You are a most brutal fellow. Oliver, 343 A—When I took the prisoner into custody his mother's mouth was bleeding. Mr. Yardley —Mrs. Clarke, was your mouth bleeding ? Mrs. Clarke —Yen. Mr. Yardley—Now, on your oath, Mrs. Clarke, and mind your answer, did your son strike you? Mrs. Clarke—No. Mr. Yardley—There, your mother has perjured herself to save you, prisoner. You are a brutal fellow, and I shall Commit you for 7 days. THAMES. A DOCK RUY7lAN.—Williata Murphy, a well-known blackguard and ruffian, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with assaulting Mr. Henry Redly, a transporting pilot, on board the ship Candidate, in the Shadwell basin of the London Dock, The complainant stated that yesterday evening, between 4 and 5 o'clock, the prisoner came on board the Candidate with a passenger, of whom he demanded money. Tae pas senger said he had not employed the prisoner, but ho had notwithstanding given him 6d., and he would give him no more. The prisoner made a great disturbance, and said he would not go without more money. He requested the prisoner to leave the ship, which he refused to do, and threatened him. The prisoner was re peatedly desired to leave the vessel, and would not, and said to witness, "You b--, I will let you have it when you come on shore," and at the same time struck him a violent blow with his fist. He closed with the pri soner, who endeavoured to force him into the dock basin, and would have succeeded if assistance had not been at hand,. The prisoner had threatened him before, and he was one of the greatest ruffians in the port of London. The prisoner, in defence, said a passenger came down to the London Dock in a cab, and said he wanted the ship Candidate. He guided him to the vessel, and only re ceived 6d. Mr. Partridge—How long were you engaged with the passenger i The prisoner—About half an hour. Mr. Partr;dge—You were very well paid. Win. Hine, 184 H, said the prisoner was convicted in May last for committing a violent assault on police-constable Carr, 40 H, and sentenced to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. The prisoner had been for a long time hanging about the London and St. Katherine Ducks, forcing his services on passengers, seamen, and sailor boys. If he found any one with a parcel he took it from them, and then demanded extravagant remuneration for his ser vices. Mr. Partridge said the prisoner ought not to be permitted to hang about the docks, as he was a dangerous character. He fined the prisoner 405., which was paid. MARKETS_ This Day. - MARK-LANE.

CAMPBELL IN ILIS LATE PUBLISHED ACCOUNT OF lIIS TWELVE• MONTHS' RESIDENCE IN KHONDISTAN. In the Ala Halls (hill tracts) of Goomsur the sacri fice is offered annually to Tado Pennor, the earth god, under the effigy of a peacock, with the view of propitiating the deity to grant favourable crops. The Zsni, or priest, who may be of any caste, officiates at the sacrifice, but he performs the "Pooga" (offering of flowers, incense, &c.) to the idol, through the medium of the Zoomba, who must be a Knond boy under seven years of age, and who is fed and clothed at the public expense, eats alone, and is subjected to no act deemed impure. For a month prior to the sacrifice, there is much feasting, intoxication, and dancing round the Meriah (victim), who is adorned with garlands, &c. On the day before the performance of the barbarous rite, he is stupefied with toddy, and is made to sit, or is bound at the bottom of a post, bearing the effigy above described. The assembled multitude then dance round to music, and addressing the earth, say, " 0 God, we offer this sacrifice to you; give us good crops, seasons, and after which they addre s s th e v i c ti m . " W e bought ' ou with a price, and did net seize you ; now we sacrifice you according to custom, and no sin rests with us." On the following day, the Meriah b e i ng again intoxicated, and anointed with oil, each individual present touches the anointed part, and wipes the oil on his own head. Ali then march in procession round the village and its boundaries, preceded by music, bearing the victim in their arms. On returning to the post, whi c h i s a l ways p l ace d ne ar the village idol, called Z scari Penoo, repre sented by three stones, a hog is killed in sacrifice, and the blood being allowed to flow into a pit pre pared for the purpose, the Meriah, who has been previously made senseless from intoxication, is seized and thrown in, and his face pressed down till ha is suffocated in the bloody mire. The Zsni then cuts a piece of flesh from the body, and buries it near the village idol, as an offering to the earth. All the people then follow his example, but carry the bloody prize to their own villages, where part u the bloody ated of the flesh is buried near the villa ge id o l, an d par t on the boundaries of the village. Th e h ea d o f t h e victimremains , and with the bare b pit. Ater thi s h orr id ceremony has b een co mpleted, a buffalo c alf i s brought to the post , and, his f our f eet having been on i s buried n he u cut off, is left there tillm t the following day. Women, dressed in male attire and armed as men, then drink, dance, and sing round the spot; the calf is killed and eaten, and the Zini dismissed with a present of rice, and a hog or calf. Of the many ways in which the unhappy v i ct i m is destroyed, that just described is perhaps th e f east cruel, as in some places the flesh is cut off while the unfortunate creature is still alive.

" JOHN PARRY'S MANUAL OF, MUSICAL TERMS," published by Mr. M'Lean, Haymarket, is funnil y contr i ve d to teach and impress upon the memory of a you ng mus i ca l pupil the meaning of terms used in music. Amo n g o th er evidences of the whimsicality of the noti on here carried out, we may indic a t e —from its pages —that w e h ave a v i sta o f a street, the sewer beneath the roadway is put for basso, a well expresses basso profondo, baritone is the ground-floor of one of the houses, t eno r the first floor, alto the garret , contralto the same of the house opposite to that bearing the other inscriptions ; soprano suggests a sweep in a chimney pot, assolato a man on the summit of a steeple. In another Place non mollo bramte stands as a rushlight-shade, ACONITE AND ACONITINA. (From the .Medical Circular.) As these substances, although pretty well known in medical practice, have not been much employed for the purposes of poisoning, and as they have been brought into prominent notice by a recent event, we have thought it expedient to offer a few remarks upon these very powerful agents. Aconite, or monkshood, is a well known and ornamental plant in gardens, and is indigenous in Europe. The whole of the plant possesses poisonous properties, but the root, especially after the leaves have fallen, is the most poisonous part, and has sometimes proved fatal from being eaten in mistake for horse-radish. The medicinal preparation is the tincture of the root, but the fluid known as Fleming's tincture, whi c h was probably employed in the late case of suicidal poisoning, is by far the most poisonous preparation, being about as strong as prussic acid. The effects of aconite are dais to the presence of an alkaloid, named sconitina, but the properties of this latter vary much according to the condition of the root from which it is obtained, the locality in which the plant is grown, the period when it is gathered, and other circumstances. In offering the present remarks upon aconite and aconitina, we have availed our selves of the information kindly supplied to us by Mr. Morson, the principal, and we believe the only manufacturer of aconitina in this country, wh o has allowed us to inspect the various costly specimens of aconitina in his possession. Aconitina, possesses in a concentrated degree the properties of aconite, and is used in medicine chiefly as an external pre paration. Its dose for internal administration is not very accurately fixed, but it may perhaps be stated at between the 1-100 and 1.50 of a grain. The amount of a poisonous and fatal dose in the human subject is not exactly known, but it is probably about one-tenth of a grain. We have heard of a case in which a highly respectable pharmacutist was re quested to make up a grain of aconitina into twelve pills, and on remonstrating upon the great ness of the dose, he was informed that the patient had often taken the same pills before. The latter, however, was induced to have the grain of aconi tina divided into 24 doses, and the first dose, which probably contained :the alkaloid i❑ a purer form than he had previously taken, produced very well marked toxical symptoms, and the dose was there fore subsequently further divided into the 48th of a grain. To remave any misapprehensions that 'may arise upon the subject, we may state that the opi nion expressed by the medical witness at the recent inquest on the body of the man Hunt, that :one fiftieth of a grain of aconitina was a fatal dose is incorrect. Dr. Puckle, the witness alluded to, is also reported to have stated that he discovered the presence of aconitina in the contents of the stomach by the application of sulphuric acid and the bi chromate of potash. These reagents acting upon aconitina will cause a green colour, owing to the development of the green oxide of chromium, but the test is by no means characteristic of the pre sence of aconitina, as morphia, and probably other alkaloids, produce the same reaction. If, also, Dr. Puckle has observed this test in a small quantity of the tincture of aconite, mixed with the contents of the stomach, he is we believe the first toxicologist who has succeeded in doing so, and it is to be hoped that ho will publish the details of the process hi c , employs. The only test for aconite hitherto, any reliance can be placed is the ill ue when a of aconite, or aconitina, on the tong .! ced.

THIRD DAY. ALDERSHOT, Thursday. The Court resumed this morning, and Colonel Crawley proceeded to put further questions to Major Champion. Ilre shall continue the report in our late edition. SECOND DAY. [The following appeared in the Third Edition of „ The Sun" of last evening] : ALDERSHOT, Wednesday. The proceedings were resumed this morning, all the members of the Court being present. Lieutenant and Adjutant Fitzsimons recalled and asked by Colonel Pipon, officiating judge-advocate:-- Do you remember the date when the first order was given for the sentry to be posted inside the quarters of Sergeant Major Lilley ? Lieutenant Fitzsimons—l cannot remember, but I think it must have been before the sth of May, because a non commissioned officer was tried that day for having posted a sentry outside instead of inside the bungalow, Colonel Crawley, in reply to the President, said that he would cross-examine the witnesses in the order in which they had made their statements. He would respectfully ask the Court that he might be furnished with copies of the statements made before the deputy judge advocate general at 11how, by order of Sir Hugh Rose, the Commander in Chief in India. The President replied that the Court had no such docu ments, nor did they know of their existence, and Sir A. Horsford, on the part of the prosecution, said they had not any knowledge that there were any. There had been several soldiers examined with a view to ascertaining who knew anything, but ultimately Sir Hugh Hose decided to send over every one who knew anything at all of the matter. Even had they existed as documentary evidence, as the prosecutor did not intend to use it, therefore the prisoner ought not to use it either. He would say that the inquiries which were set on foot had reference to any evi dence that could be produced, either for the prosecution or for the prisoner. Major Champion, recalled and cross-examined by Colonel Crawley—l am unable to speak confined. the bungalows in which Sergeant Major Lilley a Thefirst to one was full and ample, and far larger than usually allotted sergeants in India. It was originally built n ser geant's quarters. The large room was 3/ fee a tb s a staff inner 14 by 10, and the two rear about 10 feet 27clare16, the T tw h o e building stood on the parade ground, and thereiu . s El dah in front. The entry was from the verandah into v theeran large room by two doors. The large room had a roof o f masonry, vaulted and shielded by a temporary grass roof. The inner bedrooms were roofed in the same manner, the inner wall dividing the two rooms with a , door and doorway in the centre. The rear of each of these rooms led into a small apartment used as bath room. Those apartments are ventilated by windows on the north and south side. The model produced is on the scale of 1 inch to 2 feet, and the thickness of the masonry walls accurately represented on the same scale being 2 feet fully. To the best of my belief Sergeant Major Lilley had at the time of his first confinement free access to 5 rooms and a verandah. They were the same he occupied before his arrest. It is not a correct description of the first bungalow in which Ser geant Major Lilley was confined that it was a bombproof building that has since been pulled down as being unfit for troops. It is not a true account of the state of things that the first bungalow was more like an oven than a human habitation. The first bungalow was not like the black hole of Calcutta, or the hold of a slave ship. Captain Day, with his wife and children and a staff of servants, occupied similar quarters for several months. The counterpart of the bungalow is now the female hospital for the 6th Dra goons. Sergeant Major Lilley was removed to the second bungalow on or about the 12th of May, 1562. The second bungalow was similar to those occupiett by the married men in the 6th Dragoons, but it had on that point an advantage over many of them, being at the end of a range of barracks, and had therefore a verandah on two /ides of the room instead of on one, which the central barrack quarters had not. The second bungalow is constructed on the same scale as the other model, and represents a portion of a long range of bar racks at Mhow, in which the'lnniskilling Dragoons have quarters. On the south side is a glass door and two glass windows leading into a room 23 feet by 14. The only other outlet to that floor leads into a smaller room on the east side 7 feet by 14, out of which room is a doorway leading into the east verandah. Those two rooms were roofed by double tiles, with a ventilator, and the verandah is roofed with single tiles. The height of the walls on the south side was about 121 feet, and of the north wall about 18 feet. The walls are masonry. Beyond the north wall is a passage about 6 feet wide, and beyond that again are quarters net represented on the model, but which are shown on the plan. The bungalow which I have just described is the one in which Sergeant Major Lilley died. The verandah on the south and east side is fifteen feet wide, there being a communication right through, and into which verandah the glass doors open. I believe Sergeant Major Lilley had access to the room and verandah during the latter part of his confinement in the second bungalow, but I never visited him. When I was there similar quarters were occupied by soldiers and sergeants. The second bungalow was not bomb proof. There was a ceiling cloth to the roof about the height of 12/ feet from the ground. The object being to keep the dust from the roof from falling into the apartment, and to make the whole more comfortable in appearance. The building was not unfit for human habitation. It has not been pulled down. He was one of the staff sergeants of the regiment. The large room, when he saw it, contained the sergeant's wife's bed, and other articles of furniture. The same ceiling cloth which was on the room when Lilley died was there. There was a pan of charcoal in the room which acted as a stove. He did not recollect that there was a chink between the inner and the outer room. A chink was made of split bamboos bound together close by twine. When hung over an open doorway, it admitted the circulation of air, but a passer by could not see through the chink into the apartment. It was customary to line these chinks with coloured calico, which completely obstructed the vision. There was no curtain stretched across the apartment when he inspected the sitting room, The curtain represented in the model had been described to him by witnesses as having been hung up in the apartment when Sergeant Major Lilley lived there. He did not consider the second bunga low more prejudicial to the health of persons occupying it than any other quarter. He recollected the first bungalow being pulled down. He knew that a correspondence took place between Colonel Crawley and the authorities with regard to Lilley's quarters. He brought it home from India and handed it to the Adjutant-General of the Forces. Colonel Crawley said he now asked the prosecutor to produce the correspondence, or to allow a witness to verify the copies which he had in his possession. The President—What is the object of the application ? Colonel Crawley—My object is to prove that I made every endeavour in my power, when Sergeant Major or Lilley's quarters were taken aw a y from him, to pr . ocure him as good, or better quarters than he had been in postha - ses sion of, I gave official notice for the production of correspondence some time since. Sir A. Horsford said tha t the pr osecution would prove the case in the regular manner, using such evidence as might be thought necessary. No objection would be made to the prisoner putting in the documents in his own defence. He (Sir A. Horsford);said he could not tell at present whe ther they were in his possession, but the prisoner might obtain them on application to the Adjutant General. Colonel Crawley said he had to appeal to the protection of the Court in thi s matter. The prosecution had opened a against him, part of which consisted case of gross cruelty in the room in which he in placing Sergeant Major Lillcy died. The documents for which he asked would entirely disprove the case of the prosecution. The authorities had these documents in their possession. and ought to produce them. He had copies with them, and the witness could verify them. The President said bu he t tardcourt ly thougwould ht ret they ire to should be c alled for at th is stage, hardly thought they should be called for at this stage, but the consi der the qaestion. On the return of the court, Sir A. Horsford said that he had taken advantage of the a dj o urnment of th e court to inquire whether t he documents in question were in the hands of the prosecution had found that they were. Under tnes oceivrh:d e ence for the tl clearand anees hhee had no obje ction to p roduce them, but u p on t r under standing that he did not prod p u r c is eth e e r m p as produced pros ecution, but th at if the en mus t be considered evidence for the defence.uet ed them they The President wa of opinion th at i t would be irregular to produce them dursing across-examination. Colonel Crawley was advised that the documents pro duced would have the same effect whethe r b roug ht f orwar d as evidence for the prosecuti on or the defence. The Court considered that it was for the prisoner to determine what course to take with th em. After consultation with his legal advisers Col. Crawley accepted the offer, and took the documents as part of his de fence. The correspondence had taken place between him self (Colonel Crawley) and the Brigade Major, at Mhow. vere then produced and identified by Major Champion,, as thos e h e b roug ht h om e from India. ''hey were read, and m it appeared that a rersaedenttition had be en made from the that the qua r t ers occupied by the General a nt Majoref Brigade and the Qua r t ermaster of the y 6th Dragoonsrge wou ld be required as new caval r y b arrac k s were to b e erected, and that Col. Crawley then pointed out other buildings which might be given over to his regiment (the Inniskilling Dragoons). A. somewhat lengthened discussion ensued, involving written observations and answers from both sides, followed as to the terms on which this documentary evidence Id been tendered sad received; but the point wafi pu h r e e r 3 e , technical, and in the end the m atter remained e xsct y w the original understanding had left it. At 4 o'clock the Court again adjourned to this morning, " THE QUEEN V. IVILITEHURST."—This long. pending case will shortly be . judicially disposed of . It stands second on the list of nisi prtus cases for the after term sittings, wkich commence on Thursday, the 26th inst.; but as the first case has been settled, that of White.• burst will stand at the head of the list and be the first tried, ANDOVER EL ECTION. CLOSE OF THE POLL—Four O'CLOCK. Humphrey •• • • •• • •• • • 83 Hawkehaw , Majority for Humphrey THE DOCTOR'S ADVICE. (From Punch.) His Majesty the Elected of the Millions. Enter to him, Dr. Punch. Dr. Punch I have the honour to wish your Majesty a good morning. I trust that her Majesty is in the best health and spirits. I hope thut the Imperial Prince is all that the fondest parents could desire. The _Emperor. Sit down, Doctor, and don't be loquacious. I bate too lunch talk. Dr. P. In that hate, your Majesty, is—forgive me —part of the secret of your people's admiration. A Frenchman thinks it a miracle that any one .should be able to hold his tongue. Tice Emp. Thcre may be something in that. Anyh ow hold yours. , p. I thought your Majesty did me the honour of sending for me. The Emv. I did. But I want you to listen. Dr. P. If I thought I should hear any ,d of Sire, I would listen with pleasure, myself, The Emp. If you will not be silent, Doctor, I w i ll mun icate with you through my new talking Minister. cum. Dr. P. I am dumb , Sire, in p resen ce of that r uenac The Env). 1 have invited the Sovereigns of Europee. to Congress, that we may settle all our troubles and quarrel; by Arbitration. Dr. P. And what, in the name of all that is reasonable and humane, Sire, have I been preaching to DOCTOR PUNCH—for the last ten years? What, in f act, have I been preaching to all the Sovereigns, and Emperors, and Presidents ever since I mounted the pulpit in 1841 ? Ihe Emp. Confound you, are you going to favour me with a verbal re-issue of all your back volumes I Dr. P. No, Sire, but I insist upon saying that I am glad and proud to see the greatest King of the Earth—you will observe the masculine gender in my observation — ?Ice Emp. Well, well, everybody knows your chivalrous loyalty to your own admirable Sovereign—get on. Dr. P. Proud to see the greatest King of the Earth at length converted to the faith which I have been preaching for twenty years ; namely, that war, except in self-defence, is a crime and a blunder. The Emp. All wars are in self-defence. Dr. P. That in Maxie:), Sire, for instance ? I did not hear that the Mexicans were marching on Normandy, or even on Cayenne, which is nearer to them, but your Ma jesty is perhaps better informed. The Leap. Don't you talk cant. All wars are in self-de fence. Are you not defending yourself against Japan? Have you not just destroyed an entire city which— Dr. P. Sire, we were not talking of Japan, and I believe that Earl Russell will have explanations to offer which will be entirely satisfactory to—to parties without prejudice. But that is not the point. I have been proclaiming with all my might, for nearly half a century, that the Captains Tongue and Pen ought to do the work which barbarism in.. trusted to Captain Sword, and I am rejoiced to have mad.) a convert of the master of 600,000 soldiers, The Emp. Have you done ? Dr. P. No, Sire; I have only just begun. And then, Sire, how truly wise it is in you, as Emperor of France, to have taken this course. Study to be quiet; and, as my friend Earl Russell says, Rest and bo thankful. You have. no Constitution— Ih e Emp. I'll hunt with you, shoot with you, dine with you —come, I'll even sit out a melodrama in eleven act s with you, for a thousand napoleons. Or make it sovereigns. Dr. P. Sire, could you suspect me of a personal tcfer ence ? I mein that you, as France, have no Constitution, and therefore cannot afford to racket about as sturdy Mrs. Britannia can do. The quieter the better, and as Emperor of France— The Emp. " Of the French," it says on the coins. Dr. P. But the Parisians are Frenchmen, Sire, I have heard; and if proclivities are to be judged by elections — The Emp. Don't remind me of that infernal Duke o f Defeats. Dr. P. Pardon the allusion, Sire. If you can got a Con gress into Paris I dare say a good many Frenchmen, espo., cially those in the commercial and hotel line, will bo con., vinced that their patriotism was a mistake. the Emp. Well, am Ito have a Congress? That's what I sent for you to ask, but you aro so full of your self-glorifi. cation that there's no edging in a word. Dr. P. Consider, Sire, a struggle of nearly half a century crowned by my finding myself the Victor of the Victor of the world. The Emp. Very well, Dr. Johnson, and now answer my question. _ _ Dr. P. Well, Sirs, if you come to that, there aro several preliminary inquiries which I must make, and the first is, what time does your ➢Tajesty dine ? ripe Einp. We'll ascertain, and then have a quiet weed in the pavilion. Dr. P. lam at your Majesty's orders. You will not re, Bret having followed the Doctor's Advice.
