The largest Establishment in England for the Manufacture Of WAX Caudlee for the we of the Altar Two fundamental principles result from the discussions and deliberations of Parliament upon the question of Rome, which appear to us to govern the entire question, and to mark out the rule of conduct by which your Majesty's Go vernmeiet should be guided. The first is that the Roman question must be settled by moral, not material means, for violence in such a case would not solve any difficulty. The second is, that it was requisite to come to an agreement with France upon the application of the principle of non intervention to the affairs of Rome. The Emperor of the French has always desired to be able to withdraw his troops from Rome, not only because the re solution to discontinue the occupation was conformable to the principles of public law, by virtue of which ho reigns, and his policy and arms are supported in Europe, but also because the reconstitution of Italy, in which the French nation has powerfully co-operated, will be one of the prin cipal glories of his reign. But the Emperor did not think himself able, by abruptly withdrawing his assistance, to abandon a power to which he had accorded the protection of his arms for 15 years. In order to obtain the evacuation of the Pontifical territory, it was necessary to reassure the French, to show them and to show Europe that they can quit Rome without doing vio lence to their own feelings towards the Papacy. What could the Government do in this sense ? . _ - - It could only promise nct to attack the territory which the French troops had occupied, and to prevent armed bands issuing from the kingdom invading that same territory. Such a promise loyally made and firmly adhered to, in our opinion, neither destroys nor diminishes the right and the aspirations of the nation, and simply upholds the prin ciple of the application of purely moral force, the ertTloy ment of all the means which modern civilisation furnishes for the triumph of the ideas of liberty and nationality. We have, therefore, frankly advised your Majasty to accept such an engagement as a corrective cf the departure of the French troops from Italy, and we are ready to take the responsibility of our advice before Parliament and the nation. Upon the one hand, there is nothing in this engagement in contradiction with our principles; upon the other, it will have the effect of putting an end to that unquiet expecta tion, that anxiety which agitates men's minds, and of establishing an interval between the present situation and that which must have reconciliation between the Church and Italy as its final result. _ _ We are convinced that the Italians, who have given so many proofs of sagacity and wisdom in recent years, will understand the suitability of this agreement, and appre ciating the extreme importance of the result obtained—the cessation of the French intervention at Rome—will approve a policy which must be prttdent as well as strong. It is equally of great importance thus to suppress a per manent cause of divergence between Italy and France, and not to allow the ties which at present and in future must unite the two nations, to be loosened under the influence et a state of things which, indefinitely prolonged, might com promise the dignity of the nation as well as its natural alliances. Your Majesty's Government, however, in occupying itself with the question of Rome, did not forget that of Venice. Austria is encamped in Venetia in one of the strongest positions constructed by nature and military skill, and her army rivals in number, in valour, and in materiel the most redoubtable of Europe. If she does not threaten the king dom of Italy at this moment, such alliances may be formed, such eventualities may ariso, against the dangers of which it is urgent and indispensable to be prepared. _ Italy was scarcely reunited under the sceptre of the dynasty of Savoy before your Majesty occupied yourself above all with the organisation of a general system of de fence for the new kingdom. Your Majesty was rightly of opinion that, without a well combined defensive system, our political independence, could not be secured, It was evident that the defensive system of the old Sar dinian States could not be that of Italy. The position of Austria, the approach of the French frontier in consequence of the reunion of Savoy with France, required that the seat of Government, which is of such great importance in mo dern wars, and of still greater moment to Italy in her pre sent peculiar position, should be transferred from Turin to a city in that respect more advantageously situated. Among the principal cities of the existing territory of the kingdom, it was incontestible that Florence offered the best conditions, on account of her topographical position and the lines of the Po and the Appenines by which she is protected. The superior officers of the land and naval forces consulted by your Majesty have been of his opinion, and it became indispensable to base upon these data the organisation of the defence of the kingdom which your Majesty had at;heart. This determination further, although caused essentially by reasons of interior policy, is closely connected with the treaty, the conclusion of which it has rendered possible. To the world without indeed, and especially in the eyes of France, it presents itself as a proof, a guarantee of the firm ness of our resolution to abstain from employing violence against the Papacy. Another result will be that the effi caciousness of the maral means by which Italy will avail herself will have all the batter effect at Rome, as the seat of the Government will be more contiguous, communication will be more frequent, and the community of interests and customs older and more intimate. 1 It is certainly lamentable to be forced to leave this ancient and noble city of Turin, so capable of presiding at the foun dation of the new State, so fit to favour the development of representative institutions. It is lamentable also to trouble the interests, to disconcert the arrangements, which your Majesty's Government entertains the firm intention of con ciliating by employing suitable means. We feel it, but we do not hesitate to reckon upon the generosity of the people in whose bosom has been born and flourished the liberty of Italy, which has lavished the blood of its sons and its trea sure for the welfare of the common country, and which h Is never recoiled from any sacrifice to secure the unity of Italy. It will thus acquire one great title the more to the devotion and gratitude of the other Italian provinces. It is you, Sire, who have always given the example of every abnegation, that this people takes as its model, and it will not hesitate, seeing its King spare neither life nor crown, and devote themselves above all and in every cir cumstance to Italy. Permit us, Sire, with hearts profoundly moved, to express to you at this moment the sentiments of the whole nation, which reveres and loves you, and which feels that its des tiny is indissolubly bound up with your own and that of your dynasty, The convention with France, in so far as no pecuniary obligation will result as its effective consequence, is by the constitution an object of royal prerogative, and does not require the sanction of parliament. As for the transfer of the seat of government to Florence, that measure, in addi tion to its infringe gravity, entails expense, and we must propose to insert a special credit into the budget of 1865 to enable it to be met.

Yesterday a large number of the dockyard la laf-iurers and other hands commenced scraping and cleaning the bottom of the iron steam floating fac tory Chasseur, in dock at Chatham, and removing the animal and other deposits which thickly lined the whole surface of her hull below the water-line. From the lcngth of time the floating factory has been employed in the harbour, chiefly in attendance o❑ the Achilles, her bottom has become exceedingly foul, and up to noon yesterday several waggon loads of shell fish, seaweed, &c., had been removed. Her bottom will be payed over with one of the so-called anti-fouling compositions. The iron paddlewheel steam vessel Bann (tender to the Fisgard) left Plymouth yesterday, for the purpose of proceeding on a survey. The Swedish corvette Gefle, 6, from the Baltic, which arrived in Plymouth Sound on Thursday, waits the arrival of a Swedish frigate, when both proceed to the island of Teneriffe. The Austrian screw steam frigate Schwarzen burg, Capt. Baron Sternech, and the steam ram Don Juan, Capt. Count Pokorney, which put into Plymouth Sound through stress of weather on Wed nesday, left yesterday morning for the Mediterra nean, calling at Brest. The paddlewheel steam storeship, Dee, 1, Alas• ter Commander George Ray nard, left Devonport on Thursday with Commander Paul, Second Master Attendant, and a party of riggers and seamen, for the purpose of laying down large moorings in Li• verpool and in Ireland to meet the increased ton nage of the Donegal, 81, and other ships recently commissioned for the Coastguard service. _ _ THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 8, 1864. r Rio i'ERSONS SEEKING LANDED TOWN AND COUNTRY ILI SIDENCES, FREE HOLD AND LEASEHOLD INVESTMENTS, AND PROPER PIES GENERALLY — TO BE HAD GRATIS, at the principal Railway Bookstalls throughout the kingdom, or at the Auction and Estate Offices, No. 67, Chancery-lane, London, Messrs.

Mr Ellison considered that there was such prima facie evidence as rendered it imperative the case should go for trial, unless the defendant could adduce such testimony as would do away with it altogether. One of the pretences charged against the defendant was contained in the letter produced. The defendant said that letter was written when ho was tipsy, and that was the whole fact about it. - Ile should pre fer calling some counter-evidence now, as it would confirm what he had stated. Ire then called— Mr Emile Cuzal, of the firm of Rivers, Cuzal, and Co,, who remembered complainant calling in Canonbury-place the day after the defendant had left. He was excited, but said nothing about paying the defendant £5, or any other sum. The witness suggested the propriety of his going round to see the defendant, and Miss Edwards, who was present, gave him her father's address, and he wrote it down in his pocket-book. When he suggested he had better go and see the defendant,the complainant seemed disinclined, but we nt twithhe handshim , and of t h e then s olie r i a t n ors a . way, saying he partsh ould p theu tit road into Miss Aurelia Sophia Edwards, defendant's daughter, was present in Mr Cuzal's apartment when complainant came there. She gave him her father's address, and he wrote it down. Mr Ouzel said she had better take Mr Cullen home with her to see her father, and ha walked with some dis tance, but when about 50 yards from their residence he ran away. Mr Cullen made no complaint about any money. The defendant said there was one question he had to put to his daughter, which it .was imperative on him to put, to show that he could not have received this £5 as alleged. 'Was she not aware that on the morning of the 6th—that after the night this money was said to have been paid him —he was totally without money, and that on her mother asking him for money he told her he had none to give her ? And was she not obliged to go with him to his brother's to borrow some money? To both these the witness answered " Yes," Cross-examined—Her father came home that night quite early—about 10 o'clock, and she was quite sure he did not go out again. He was not the worse for drink—he was quite sober. She thought that what her father said about being the worse for drink was not true, The defendant said that that was, perhaps, because he did not show it much. Mr Chipperfield said he had communicated with Sir F. Smith, who was unable to attend, but he considered the false pretence to be clearly established without any addi tional proof of it. The defendant said he should have much liked to have Mr Lawford called, and he had other evidence to produce, but, as the case was to go for trial, he should reserve that, and any further defence he had to offer till then. He sup posed the same bail would be accepted for him as before. Mr Chipperfield had no wish that the bail should be in creased, and, the depositions having been completed by Mr. Hurls one, the chief clerk, the defendant was committed for trial, but admitted to bail, one surety in £25, and his own recognizances in £5O. Preparations are made at Plymouth for supplying with coal the ironcased screw steamship Prince Consort, 35, Capt. George 0. Willis, C. 8., and the iron ship Hector, 24, Capt. George W. Preedy, C. 8., expected to arrive in the Sound yesterday evening or this morning. The system introduced by Major Palliser, 18th Hussars, of strengthening and rendering services able the old OS•pounder guns (a detail of which has been given in The Sun) was yesterday put to a severe test on the butt on Woolwich Marsh, by a lengthened course of proof. Since the former trial the gun has been rifled in four grooves, and on Thursday it was again proved by firing two rounds, with charges of 201 b. of powder and 1101 b. shot. The proof was satisfactory, and a continuation was ordered to be carried out yesterday, with charges of 161 b. of powder and 1101 b. shot. Accordingly, 20 rounds were fired with the most favourable results as anticipated. There is now no doubt that the method of boring out and applying an inner tube of charcoal iron adopted by Major Palliser will suffi ciently strengthen the old guns and enable the Government to bring into effective use as rifled guns the whole of the cast-iron ordnance at present laid aside. The gun proved yesterday has fired 24 rounds with severe proof charges, and on withdrawing the tube it was found clean and per. fectly whole. It will now go to Shoeburyness and will be put to a test of 1,000 rounds to try its power of endurance. The shot used at the proof were the round-headed Armstrongs from which the coating of lead has been removed. The method thus effi. ciently applied for bringing the old guns again into use is said to be exceedingly economical, and will, moreover, require no alteration in the mode of gun carriage at present in use. The Lords of the Admiralty a snort time since issued an order for the discharge from Devonport dcckyard of a number of hired mechanics and la bourers. On Thursday morning that order was rescinded and the men continue in the yard. The body of Geo. May, cnginedriver, in the mill wright's shop in the Devonport dockyard, was found yesterday morning with the head in a very mutilated condition. It is supposed that he was in the act of oiling the machinery when he lost his life. The following appointments and promotions were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Commander John Shears to the Victory; Henry AV. Davidson, master's assistant, to the Victory ; Alfred B. Scott, master's assistant, to the Tamar; Adolphus An• drews (acting), Stephen Judd, Leonard Blackler, Edward Keen (acting), and W. A. Houghton (acts ing) promoted to the rank of engineer. _ The following appointment has been made in the Royal Naval Reserve :—John Paterson to be hon. lieutenant. Lord R. Montagu on the Utilization of Sewage. ST. IVES, Friday Evening. The annual meeting of the Agricultural Society of this small, but well-cultivated, county was held at St. Ives today. The show was of the ordinary character, and there was nothing to particularise in it. At half-past three o'clock a dinner was held in the Corn Exchange, which was to-day opened for the first time, the Earl of Sandwich presiding. M E. Fellowes and Lord R. Montagu, the county members, were present. After the customary toasts Mr Tebutt, of Bluntisham, proposed "The Health of the Chairman," referring at some length to the evils of the " gang" system in the villages. In responding, his Lordship said he should be wanting in good feeling if he did not rise to return thanks for the way in which his health had been drunk, and for the flattering reception they had given him. It was a proof at least that he had en. demoured to do his duty in that part which he had been called upon to take. It afforded him great pleasure to be at the annual meeting of the society, embracing us it did both the Huntingdonshire and St. Neots Society. They would pardon his referring to 27 years ago, when he presided there at the intl■ guration of the society. He saw rrtany young men before him—many they had not had the pleasure of seeing there before—and it was a proof of the good the society was doing at large. There were so many of those meetings that .t was very difficult to find any subject to talk upon. He still held the opinion which he had given before, that they must not look for the future to the crop of wheat for their mainstay. He felt convinced that they must look to the increase of cattle and sheep. His lord• ship referred to the price of wool, but would not hazard an opinion whether it was or not the effect of the American contest. That price would, how ever, tend to the advantage of the farmer, as wool was very much encouraged in the manufacturing districts. In passing, ho did not agree with the "gang" system—of women and children being farmed off in different parishes. Many years ago, when the people were migrating to Lancashire, he thought the time would come when they would feel it. They moved away from their own counties, and they found more miserable cottages than those they left behind them and more hard work, and the time came when they were thrown upon the resources of their friends. Labourers' cottages in England were receiving that attention which was due to them, and which tended to their health and the benefit of society. lie referred to the superiority of the bread and water made from wheat grown on the Continent, but remarked that there were no cattle like ours, and sat down amid great applause. In answer to " The County Members," Mr E, FELLOWES said that, as one of those re■ ferred to in the toast, he returned his sincere and hearty thanks. It was gratifying to them at each return of their annual meeting to find that they still held the good opinion and goodwill of the electors of the county. He asked permission to address a few practical remarks to them, as he believed it was not their wish that the meeting should be de voted to matters of a complimentary nature only. It was their wish that if any practical subject could be discussed, any interchange of ideas take place L that might be attended with beneficial results, it K - 1 - T - i-7-47Lki4e - W. ‘ a chould he to.

He did not refer to steam ilioughit ar.4 cultivators, because he was well avian that the cost was too great, and they were generally of so expen sive a character that farmers could not make u - ,e of them. What he referred to more particularly was steam tnraihing, steam for the crusting of cake, and the bruising of oats. He was fortified in this opinion by what, he had seen when last in Scotlane. East 1,-,thian was far celebrated for its farming, aad the steam engine was employed there in the way to which he had alluded. He thought the time vt - ond came when that would be required, and his reason for stating it was the following :—They ware all well aware of the dreadful war which had long been going on in America. In nansequence of that war the supply of cotton ill this country was FO materially diminished as to cause great distress in the cotton tuanufacturing•districts. Although out of employment none of the operatives would return to their old homes and pursuits, and under those circumstances it might be supposed that other hands would be requild to do the work. When the Ameriean war should be brought to a close there would be a large supply of cotton from the Southern States, and again the millowners would want additional hands to work their mills, obtaining them by sending their agents nto other parts of the country. Again, in tho agricultural districts there was a &creAse in the population between 1851 and 1861, although the population of the country had very much increased. It was on this ground, he ventuied to say, that it would be worth their attention to consider whether the time was not come when they should economise their manual labour, and introduce in some measure steam machinery, It would certainly be worth a trial, but he should be very glad to hear a practical opinion upon it. A remark had been made by their chairman concerning the increase of stock upon their farms, and their not turning their attention to wheat, bat to sheep. He had some reason to think_that wheat would never be as high as it had been, and ss. a bushel they would have at one time have considered a low price indeed. He thought it would be advisable for them to turn their attention to the increase of sheep in this country more than anything else. It was very well known that the number of sheep bred was not equal to the demand, and although, generally speaking, supply follows demand, it did not in this case. He was very glad • the subject of gang work had been brought under their notice, as a more demoralising system then the gang system could not exist. They were all aware of the evil of bringing young men and young women together in the field. After some further remarks Mr Fellowes resumed his seat. Report of the Late Italian Ministry. The following is the full text of the report ad dressed to King Victor Emmanuel by the late ministry, a summary of which has already been for watded by telegraph : Turin, Sept. 19. Sire,—When your Majesty entrusted to ns the adminis tration of the State, circumstances were such that it would have been little worthy and of slight utility to recommence the negotiations relative to the Roman question. Your Ma jesty's Government, however, while principally devoting its cares to the interior organisation of the kingdom, did not lose sight of this great question, and awaited the opportu nity to take it again in hand. Thus when the changes which took place in general politics, and in the relations of the powers, appeared to us to present this opportunity, we has tended to embrace it. Nathaniel Forrester Edwards, described as a lieutenant colonel, of Canonbury-place, Canonbury-square, Islington, was charged before Mr Ellison, at Worship •street, with having unlawfully, by certain false and fradulent pretences, obtained of and from a Mr Robert Cowl Cullen the sum of £5, with intent to cheat and defraud him thereof. The ease has been 'before the Court at intervals of ad journment since the beginning of last month, Mr Chipperfield appeared for the complainant ; the de fendant conducted hit 3 own defence. Mr Robert Court Cullen said that he resided in De Beauvoir-square. He was acquainted with the defendant, but had not seen him for many years until in the middle of July last he met him accidentally. The defendant then told him he was going to India with his two sons, having an ap pointment under a public company, and that he was looking out for a respectable house for his wife and daughters to re side in while he was away. He asked witness if he knew of such a house, and witness told him that he thought he e id, as a lady had died in the next house to his, and her brother would most probably like to get rid of it. On the 2d of August the defendant called at his house and saw witness's wife, with whom he had some conversation about two appointments he said he had. He then saw the witness, to whom he pro duced the prospectuses of two or three of the associations called the London andeMadras Bank and Madras Cotton Company, asked him if he would like to undertake the office of assistant-secretary, of which he had the appointment. He said Mr. Mandrill, the late secretary, had been dis missed, and that the salary would be £3OO a year. Tho witness told him that he was much obliged to him, that he would like to take the office, and the defendant said he shculd see the directors in a day or two, as they were going to have a meeting on the 4th or sth at the offices of Messrs Lawford and Waterhouse, the solicitors to the company, and that anything he might wish to ascertain he could learn from them. He next saw him on the sth, when the de fendant called on him in the morning, and told him he was going to dine with Sir Fredk. Smith and others, and to be present at a meeting of the directors. He said if he would walk towards the city with him he would tell him the terms of his appointment. The witness did walk with him, and while doing so the defendant said, " I suppose you would not mind a £lO note down it I get the appointment for you ?" The witness said it would not be convenient to pay £lO just then, but he would give him £5 down and the other £5 when he received the first quarter's salary. That morning defendant had told him he could get him a quar ter's salary in advance if he allowed him £lO off. The wit ness said, " Very well," and they parted. The witness saw him again in the evening at half-past 9, when he called at witness's house, and on witness opening the door he said, "It is all right, you have got the appointment." Witness told him he should not pay him until he had satisfied him and his wife and family it was correct, to which the defen dant replied, "Oh, I will soon do that," and went into the back parlour, where Mrs Cullen and a lady, a visitor, were at supper. He said, " Well, Mrs Cullen, I have been dining with Sir Fredk. Smith; the directors have given your hus band the appointment, and if you will give me pen and ink I will give it you directly." Witness's daughter got him pen, ink, and paper, and the defendant wrote and signed the following letter : " London and Madras Bank, Madras Cotton Company, Limited, 22, Canonbury-place, Canonbury-square, Aug. 5. "My dear Sir,--I am happy to say that lam empowered by Lieut.-Gen. Sir F. Smith, Col. Elsey, Mr Henry Dan lop, and Mr A. R. Shaw, the majority of the committee of these companies, to appoint you to be the assistant secre tary, vice Mundrill, dismissed. You will take your orders from me, and be prepared for duty on Wednesday, the 10th August inst,—l am ' my dear Sir, faithfully yours, "N. FORRESTER EDWARns, Promoter." He then sat for an hour or more before he left, when, while going down the steps, he reminded him of the agreement as to the money in the morning, and said " You will pay me that ? lam going to Walton-on-the-Naze, where I have got a yacht, and the money will do to pay for a few cigars." To this the witness assented, and he paid him four sovereigns and two halves. This was on the Friday evening, and on Saturday he called again, and said the checks would be ready at the bank on the Monday—one for £l,OOO for his son and himself, and the check for witness for the quarter's salary, and that it was likely he would want him to walk down to the city with him. On the Monday he called again, and said he wished witness to go with him to the London Bank in Threadneedle-street, where he was to be, he said, at half past 3, and the checks would be ready. He waited half an hour, while witness shaved, and they walked there together, but when they got to the bank the defendant told him to wait outside while he went in about the checks, and he did wait five minutes, The defendant then came out and said " Well, the cheeks are all right, but Col. Elsey only has signed them ; the other twu directors, who must sign them, will be in during the afternoon, when they will sign the checks and send them to my house, and I will send them down to yours in the morning." Witness waited at home all day, but defendant never same near him, and at 7 in the evening the witness's son suggested that he should look after the defendant, and they both went to the house in Canonbury-place. The witness's suspicions afterwards became excited, and on calling at the bank and on the Messrs Lawford and Waterhouse, the firm represented as solicitors to the companies, the answer to his inquiries as regarded the defendant was so unsatisfactory that he deter mined to adopt these proceedings. Cross-examined--The witness had property to live upon ; he had an allowance from his friends. His uncle was re gistrar of the Diocesan Court of Canterbury, in which also his brother was chief clerk. He had himself been in the registrar's office for 16 years, and left it before the new act came into operation, though he could not fix the date ex actly. He had the care of the marriage licenses, and used one for himself, but it was already signed, and he filed the proper affidavit about it. He knew the defendant in 1848 or 1849, and met him in Whitecross-street prison. A man named Tyson had stolen £lOO odd of witness, who took the benefit of the act, but had paid the money since. He also met the defendant at Edmonton about six or eight months ago, but he did not then speak of these companies or give him a prospectus of them. The defendant did not propose to give him the above letter. It was given only to gratify Mrs Cullen, and witness's family did not know he had paid the £5 till the Thursday morning. Mr Jas. Waterhouse, of the firm of Lawford and Water house, solicitors, Drapers'-hall, Austinfriars, said that in July last they were not solicitors to the London and Madras Bank (limited), nor the Madras Cotton Company (limited). He never heard of such companies, had never been applied to about them, and was not aware of the existence of either nor had any meeting of the directors of those companies ever been held at their offices. There was no arrangement for a meeting of directors of any company at their offices on the day this money was alleged to have been obtained from t h e co mplainant. He knew the defendant, who about t wo years ago appli ed to their firm to become soli citors to an- Was never formed. The defendant menti one d t h e other o s aecncotinpali y named the Indian Cotton Co mpany (the us of which was put into witness's h an d) , but the prospectus the ynever authorised their as solicitors, an d w h en he saw that it was so he objected most str ongly to it. The pcorrappy names of a numbe r of influential persons a s interested in it, and he wanted t hem to undertake the soli citorship of it ; namesthat o b t was in July, printeddef en d an t introduced himself . as secretary t o the Royal Chancery Evidence Commission. The defendant sa id he had never h eld out that Messrs Lawford and Wate rhouse were the solicitors to these com p an ies, for, as it ha pp ened, mows. aly 18 in 62 the ; but Howard, Doll man, and Howard, a highly respectable firm in Fen church-street, were the solicitors. Ile was secretary to the Royal Chancery Evidence Commission, and the magistrate would see his appointment at the end of each of two com missions printed in a Parliamentary Blue-book, which he handed up. Lieut.-Colonel William Elsey, of the Indian Army, said he resided at Ealing. On the 6th of August last defendant was not authorised by him to appoint the complainant, Mr Cullen, assistant secretary to the London and Madras Bank or the Madras Cotton Company (limited), There was not a word of truth in the letter now handed to him,so far as he was concerned. He knew nothing of defendant, and never saw him but twice in his life. The defendant introduced himself to him with a card now produced, purporting that he was requested to call on him by Sir Frederick Smith, and when he saw him handed him a few prospectuses, which witness looked at, but did not assent to anything. Mrs Elizabeth Cullen, complainant's wife, remembered the defendant calling at their house in the beginning of August. He left his card, and said he had made an appoint ment with her husband, She thought he had visited them three times. He called and signed the letter produced, and about a week before that he spoke to her about her husband's appointment. He said he had the appointment of four gentlemen to an Indian Cotton Company, and she replied that it was very nice for gentlemen to have something to do, and she would like Mr Cullen to have employment. He signed the letter in her presence, and when he called in the evening he said to her, "Allow me to introduce you to the under-secretary," and he pointed to Mr Cullen. She thought he called some days before about the check. Cross-examined—Defendant never said anything to her about giving any commission for the appointment, nor did he say he would advance the complainant £75. The check was for the first quarter's salary, and defendant said he had got it cashed ready for her husband. Win defendant said that, AS far as he could gee, Um() was Naval and Military Intelligence. A general order from the Horse Guards has been promulgated at Chatham garrison, in which it is announced that by command of the Field Marshal Commanding in Chief arrangements have been made to provide a regular supply of diagrams and magic lantern slides to illustrate the lectures and entertainments which may be given to the troops at the various stations in the United Kingdom dur ing the approaching winter months. He directs special attention to the rules which have been drawn up for regulating the service, and looks for the co• operation of commanding officers towards carrying them out, by insuring the circulation of the sides and diagrams with that regularity upon which the success of the measure will mainly depend, and by the maintenance of order and decorum during the delivery of the lectures. The text books which lecturers may require for the preparation of their lectures will not be supplied at the public expense, but will be provided by the garrison library com mittee out of the library funds. The explosion at Belvidere has directed the at. tention of the local authorities at Chatham to the ,mminent danger existing to the inhabitants of that town from the large and increasing quantities o gunpowder which are stored in the Government magazines at Upnor Castle, Fort Amherst, and other places. The subject was yesterday brought under the special notice of the Local Board for Chatham by Alderman Levy, with the view of some action being taken by the board on the subject, and in order that its importance might be pressed upon the Government. The magazines at Upnor Castle and the adjoining buildings exactly face Chatham dockyard, and, although no unnecessary grounds for alarm need be entertained, it is felt that their situation is one attended with considerable danger, not only to the naval establishments but to the town generally, should an accident unfortunately occur. Only a short time since the ma■ gazines were very considerably extended, and new buildings added. It was yesterday stated at the Local Board of Health that the magazines at Upnor now contain one of the largest quantities of gunpowder at any of the Government stores. In the course of the discussion which took place it was stated that not only were there enora mous quantities of powder deposited at Upnor Castle, but that the Government were laying in ex tensive stores at Fort Amherst and other places in Chatham garrison, by which the risks from acci dent were very much increased. The chief cause for anxiety, however, appeared to be with regard to the Upnor magazines, and several members of the board strongly advocated the importance of the Government removing them to the uninhabited dis trict between Chatham and Sheerness. It was ul- timately decided that a strong representation should be made to the Secretary of State for War on the danger which exi s t e d f rom the close proximity of the various Government powder magazines to Chat ham and Rochester. The corporation of Rochester is also about to take action in the matter. In continuation of his autumnal visit to Wool wich garrison Major-Gen. Warde, C. 8., yesterday inspected the local division of Royal Marines Light Infantry on the Artillery barrack field. The bat tallion, under the command of Colonel-Commandant Hopkins, C. 8., assembled in line at 10 o'clock, marched past in slow time and in grand divisione, and performed the manual and platoon and bayonet exercises, and various other movements. The Major- General, before leaving, assembled the officers and spoke in the most favourable terms of the man. nor in which the battalion and acquitted themselves during the inspection. At half-past 12 o'clock the General and staff proceeded to the quarters of the Royal Engineers and went through an inspection of the company and the surveying detachment stationed at Woolwich, in command of Colonel Hawkins. They were paraded in their own ground within the barrack enclosure, where they were put through a course of field exercises, which they performed in a highly efficient manner. General Warde will close his inspection this morning by assembling the military train stationed at the en campment at Woolwich-common in command of ,Colonel J. Clark Kennedy, C. 8., commander, after which a private report of the proceedings will be officially drawn up for the information of his Royal Highness the General commanding the forces. The screw corvette Cadmus, 21, 400-horse power, got up steam in Chatham harbour yesterday, and proceeded as far as Folly.point, where she brought up, in readiness to make her experimental trial of speed for the purpose of testing the working of her engines and machinery. Additional numbers of mechanics and other bands have, during the last day or two, been placed on the ironclad frigates Lord Warden and Bellerophon, building at Chatham, in order to hasten the com pletion of those vessels. The whole of the extra hands have been taken off the iron frigate Achilles, which is now complete for sea. The paddlewheel steam sloop Basilisk, 6, 1,031 tons, 400-horse power, has been removed into the steam basin at Sheerness, where a numerous body of mechanics are employed on her in bringing her forward for the Chatham Steam Reserve. Her machinery has been lifted out, and is now under. going a thorough overhaul and repair in the factory.

MONTAGU, who was received with pro. longed applause, said that, in rising to respond, he must apologise for not being present at their July fair. When they caught a truant they generally asked him where he had been and what he had been doing, but, as their local newspaper had said he had better, he would make a clean breast of it. lie was doing his beat in looking after the interests of agriculturists in the country, and the health of the towns. He had been the chairman of the Sewage Committee. That involved a chairman in consider 4 able labour. In the first place there was a very ex tensive correspondence to keep up, then to master the subject, to look for evidence, interviews with the witnesses to prepare them, and, lastly, it was the duty of the chairman to correct the report of the evidence that was given. The committee was com posed of hard, shrewd men of business, who were not easily misled. Among them were Mr John Bright, Mr Walpole, Mr Cowper, the Chief Com• missioner of Public Works, and several others. He purposed to give them a sketch of the proceedings. He did not run the risk of supporting this theory without evidence. Before that people used to ask them why they should not be paid to put the sewage on their land. The only question that was now asked was hew it could best be done. That he might make himself understood he would take a few examples. The Government engineer said that in the Thames the greater part of the year there was more sewage than water. The Thames supplied 800,000 people with water. Of Manchester, which was on the Medlock, Mr Rawlinson said, " Birds might be seen walking on the scum of its surface." Was it not necessary that some steps should be taken to put a stop to a practice like this? Some would say that this water was always filtered, but men of science had stated that filtering did not take from water the qualities of putrescence, and that it was always capable of engendering disease. Mr Rawlinson, among several other similar matters, stated that there was space under a bridgo where formerly a cart could pass, but now a rabbit could not get through. The land around was waterlogged. In the rivers the trout and fish were all killed by the sew. age. At the mouth of the Dee 300 families lived on the salmon they caught. There might be many thou sands supported in the same way at the mouth of the Thames. In many parts cattle had been killed by drinking water in the brooks where sewage had been introduced. Besides the safety which was needed for the cattle, the health of the population should be consilered, and thousands of lives might be saved. The noble lord then referral to the state of the Ouse, and said that if it were not seen to it would do them a great injury, and, as the Yankee would say, " The tall spectre has arisen from Kim• bolten brook." (Laughter.) A few years age Croydon was emptying its sewage into the river. Complaints were made, and at last 14 different actions were brought against the Town Council and seven different injunctions were put out against them, which with the law suits cost £lO,OOO. Other experiments cost them £24,000, until they got a final injunction from Vice-Chancellor \Vood, who said the sewage must be turned upon the land. The value of land rose at once, and the corporation were compelled to give £4 an acre for it. They immedi ately let it at £5 an acre, or a profit of £250 a year. The voice of lamentation was now heard because they had contracted for 21 years with a farmer that he could take the se Nage for £5 an acre. They came before the committee, and said they could make a gain of £l5 an acre. They wanted to ex, tend the area of the sewage, and could not, on account of the contract. It thus paid rates for the town. He must conclude, as he had already oc, cupied too much time with what he had fondled as his baby. They would, perhaps, retort that it was a very dirty one, but it did not follow that there was extreme poverty ; indeed, he could not say that t was one of the richest. MR, F.
