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 o f a ch ange t h at some surprise was occasioned when it transpired that no new measure had been adopted. The advices from the Continent reporting further increase in the value of money, the withdrawals of gold f rom t h e B an k o f England, and the very exceptional proceedings of the authorities yesterday in charging 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 very generally participated 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 com 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. £54,138 North-Western , South- Western 080 17,972 Great Northern Lancashire and Yo r k s hi re 35,080 32,652 North-Eastern 54,529 51,993 South-Eastern Brighton Midland Bristol and E xeter 2 Great Eastern Manchester Sheffield Sheffield, and Lincoln 16,146 14,743 North B r iti s .. 12,236 11,447 Scottish North-Eastern 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 £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 X 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. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Relates. 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 busi ness, and a perceptible improvement is manifested. In Consols the advance amounts to I per cent., the quotations being 921 for money, and 911 t, less the dividend, for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 904 I ; the Thirty Years' Annuities, 144; and the Red Sea Telegraph, 20Z; Exchequer Bills are marked Bs. 3s. die. ; Bank Stock is 237; India Stock, 221; the 5 per Cent. L oan, 1081 8 ; the 51 per Cent. Enfaced Paper, 214 1 ; and the Debentures are 99t. The rise has been most perceptible in the Foreign Market where a good business has been transacted. A lexioan have risen I, viz., to 37Z 38 ; Greek, t, to 301 ; do., Coupons, Z, to 14f t ; Spanish Passive, 1, to 34 ; the Certificates, to 134 , - -1 ; but the Confederate Loan has declined to 56 58 ; Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 692 70; do., Consolides have risen 1, to 474 d ; Portuguese, 1862, are 48/ ; and Italian, 70; 1. The alterations in the Railway Share Market have not been very extensive. Prices, however, have in most instances shown an upward movement. Great Western and Metropolitan have improved ; Great Eastern, Brighton, North Easters. (Berwick), 103.; and North Western and South Eastern, ss. 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.

LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 19, 1863, LAW INTELLIGENCE —This Day. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. :Before the Lord Chief Baron and Barons Bramwell, Channell, and Pigott.) THE 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 summ'ng 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 e 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. Baron Bramwell—You say it must be an immediate armament to be an offence under the Act? Mr. Karsleke—Yes ; you must not make one of the ports of this country a port of departure for a warlike ship. Baron Bramwell—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 may be 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 down to the ship'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 ports 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 leataed gentleman's argument, The Attorney-General proceeded in reply, and was ad tossing 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 18:59 in Kent. Oa one occasion ho 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 oiet. 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, ho 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 fur a single day. I was finally compelled to leave him in October, 1862. Cross-examined by Dr. Spicks—l cannpt . 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. I 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 ho 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 met Mr. Hudson in a very excited state. I asked him how he was, when he said he 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. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE Or BREAKING SIR CHARLES EASTLAKE'S WINDOWS.—George Will ems, 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. Nichdas Tucker, butler to Sir Charts 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, an d said he wished to be given into custody. I have seen the prisoner before, Ile was at the house some years ego, He then came to see a young parson who he was keeping company with, and who was taen 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—l will at once tell you that, although lam disposed to allow you every latitude, I kill hear nothing irrelevant to the charge. You seem tome to have acted lie a madman. Prisoner—l have had enough to make me mad. Mr. Yardley (to the butler)-1-lbs thee 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 l.tter. Prisoner--Will you oblige me by fooling at it. I admit it is in my handwriting, and I should have thought that any one would have answered the lette• 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. his a threat to do some indefinite, undefined, unlawful act. Prisoner—l can get no law on nir side. I intend no personal violence to any one. Mr. Yardley—You hear from the )utler that the person you claim as your wife is not at St Charles Eastlake's. For your act I could send you for ha•d labour ; but as you seem a respectable person, and you may have, or suppose you have, sonic ground for what you have done, I shall not do that, but the sentence I shall peas is, that you be im prisoned for seven days; and I do this with some regard for 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 aot Mr. Yardley —Come to me and I will do so. A ButTA.I. Sox.—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 ha was mad. He seized up a chair and smashed a clock. Mr. Yardley —Did he assault you The Mother —No. Mr. Yardley—Prisoner, what hays you to say ? It is evident your foolish mother is suppressing the truth; and if you did•not assault her, she has mused 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 mother 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—Yes. 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 Docx RUPFlAN.—Williatu 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. The pas senger said he had not employed the prisoner, but he 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 retuned to do, and threatened him. The prisoner was re peatedly desired to leave the ♦essel, 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 pert of London. The prisoner, in defence, eaid 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 ? The prisoner —About half an hour. Mr. Partr;dge—You were very well paid. Wm. 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 Docks, 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 ho was a dangerous character. Ho fined the prisoner 405., which was paid. MARKETS—This Day.

CAMPBELL IN HIS LATE PUBLISIIED ACCOUNT OF HIS TWELVE, MONTHS' RESIDENCE IN KIIONDISTAN. In the Maliahs (hill tracts) of Goomsur the sacri fice is offered annually to Tado Penner, the earth god, under the effigy of a peacock, with the view of propitiating the deity to grant favourable crops. flee Zini, 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, &e. Oa 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 health ;" after which they address the victim. " We bought you with a price, and did not seize you ; now we sacrifice you according to custom, and no sin rests with us." On the following day, the Meriah being again intoxicated, and anointed with oil, each individual present touches the anointed part, and wipes the oil on his own head. All then march in procession round the village and its boundaries, preceded by music, bearing the victim in their arms. On n thea r villagei ra g to idol, t he post, which is always placed near called Z ic ar i P e noo, 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 ho is suffocated in the bloody mire. The Zini 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 pLize to their own villages, where part of the flesh is buried near the village idol, and part on the boundaries of the village. The head of the victim remains unmutilated, a n d w ith th e b are b on es is buried is the bloody pit. Ater this horrid ceremony has been completed, a buffalo calf is brought to the post, and, his f our f eet hav i ng b een cut off, is left there till 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 victim is destroyed, is perhaps the least cruel, a s in s ome places the flesh cut off w hil e the unfortunate crea ture is still alive. t w h a a y t just ia described which the i s unhappy 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 I7s. 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 4251 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.4 k per £1 sterling. standard gold at the English Mint . price is, therefore, nearly 2-10ths per cent. deal'er in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1591 to 1601 per cent., and the premium on gold is about 46 per cent. At these rates there is a small profit oa the importation of gold from the United_States. The biddings for 50,00,000 rupees (£500,000) in bills on India took place at the Bank of England yesterday. Annexed are official particulars : —TM) proportions allotted were—to Calcutta, 26,00,000 rupees ; to Bombay, 22,00,000 rupees ; and to Madras, 2,00,000 rupees. The minimum price declared was, as before, ls. 114 d, per rupee on Calcutta and Madras, and is 11:d on Bombay. The applications within the limits amounted to 170 lacs. Tenders on Calcutta at is 111 c t. will receive about 20 per cent. ; on Bombay at 2s od, about 50 per cent.; on Madras at is about 75 per cent.; and all above these rates in full.

ACONITE AND ACONITINA. (From the Medical U.) cular .) much employed f As these substances , a lthough pretty well kno wn in medical practice, have not been n o r tpo prominent o es o notice by a recent event, f poisoning, and as t h ey have been brought o we have thought it exp e d i ent to offer a few rem ar k s r the Pi 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-radiah. The medicinal preparation is the tincture of the root, but the fluid known as Fleming's tincture, which wa s 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 due to the presence of an alkaloid, named aconitina, 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 te upplied to us by Mr. Morson, the principal, and we believe the only manufacturer of aconitina in this country, wh o h as 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. llre 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 tho 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 in 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 witr.ess 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 0f the stomach, he is we believe the first toxicologist hoped who has succeeded in doing so, and it is to ) that he will publish the details of the proc ess he which, employs. The only test for aconite physiolo gical in hitherto, any reliance can bo placed the one of applying a small portion is of the tincture aof aconite, aconite, or aconitina, on the tongue, when roduced.

THIRD DAY. ALDERSHOT, Thursday. The Court resumed this morning, and Colonel Crawley proceeded to put further questions to Major Champion. We 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 Mhow, 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 Rose 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 to Crawley—l am unable to speak both the bungalows in which Sergeant Major Lilley was confined. was full and ample, and far larger than usually The first one sergeants in India. It was originally 31 tt by 16, e the. he allotted to as a staff er T two ser geant's quarters. The large room was l f inner 14 by 10, and the two rear about 10 feet e into building stood on the parade ground, and there a veran dah in front. The entry was from the verandah the large room by two doors. Th e lar g e room had a roof of f masonry, vaulted and shielded by a t e m porary glass roof. The inner bedrooms were roofed in the same manner, ee the inner wall dividing the two rooms with 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 6 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 thit has since been pulled dawn 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, 1862. The second bungalow was similar to those occupied 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 sides 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 bat 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 not represented on the model, but which are shown en 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 121 feet from the grouftd. 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 Fresident—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 Lilley's quarters were taken away from him, to procure for him as good, or better quarters than he had been in posses sion of. I gave official notice for the production of that correspondence some time sinc,e. Sir A. Horsford said that the prosecution would prove the case in the regular manner, using such evidence as might be thought neceesary. No objection would be made to the prisoner putting in the documents in his own defence. He (Sir A. Horsforgsaid 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 this matter. The prosecution had opened a case of gross cruelty against him, part of which consisted in placing Sergeant Major Lilley in the room in which he died. The documents for which he asked would entirely disprove the case of the prosecuoon. The authorities had these documents in their possession, and ought to produce them. He had copies with them, and the witness e° u be l d ver ify them. Th e President s aid he hardly thought they should ca lled for at this s ta g e, but the court would retire to consi der the question. On the return of the court, Sir A. Horsford said that he had taken advantage of the adjournment of the court to inquire whether the documents tmenee and e he he i n q uestion were in t he han d s of the prosecution, had found that they.were. Under those cirst had no objection to produce them, but upon the clear under standing that he did not produce them as evidence for the prosecution, but that if the prisoner produced them they must be considered evidence for the defence. The President was of opinion that it would be irregular t o produce them during a cross-examination. Colonel Crawley was advised that the documents pro duced would have the same effect whether brought forward as evidence for the prosecution or the defence. The Court considered that it was f or the prisoner to determine what course to take with them. After consultation with his legal advisers Col. Crawley accepted the offer, and took the documents as part of his de fence. The (Colonel Crawley)correspondence had taken place between him self The document and e the Brigade Majdor,idaent 31_110o!rb.y er Major Champion, as those ehnephrotodeuchedt homea froottiti India. They were read, and it appearedgthat a representation had been made from the Major General of Brigade that the Lilley and quarters occupied by the S e rgeant Maj or the Quartermaster of the 6th Dragoons would be required as new cavalry barracks were to be e rected, and that Col. Crawl e y th e n pointed out other buildings which might be given over to his regiment (the Inniskilling Dragoonsi)..

(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 that the Imperial Prince is all that the fondest parents could desire. The Emperor. Sit down, Doctor, and don't,be loquaoiotts. I hate too much 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. The Snip. There may be something in that. Anyhow, hold yours. Dr. P. I thought your Majesty did me the honour of sending for me. The Emp. I did. But I want you to listen. Dr. P. If I thought I should hear any good of myself, Sire, I would listen with pleasure. The Emp. If you will not be silent, Doctor, I will ooin. municate with you through my new talking Minister. Dr. P. I am dumb, Sire, in presence of that menace. • The Emp. 1 have invited the Sovereigns of Europe to a Congress, that we may settle all our troubles and quarrels by Arbitration. Dr. P. And what, in the name of all that is reasonable and humane, Sire, have I been preaching to you—l DOCTOR PUNCH—for the last ten years? What, in fact, have I been preaching to all the Sovereigns, and Emperors, and Presidents ever since I mounted the pulpit in 1841 ? The 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 lam glad and proud to see the greatest King of the Earth—you will observe the masculine gender in my observation -Ihe Well, well, everybody knows your chivalrous loyalty to your own admirable Sovereign—get on. Dr. P. Proud to sea the greates t King of the Earth at length converted to the faith which I have been preaching for twenty years ; namely, that war, except in salf-defence s is a crime and a blunder. the Emp. All wars are in self-defence. Dr. P. That in Mexico, Sire, for instance P I did not hear that the Mexicans were marching on Normandy, or even on Cayenne, which is nearer to them, but you r ma jesty is perhaps better informed. 2'he Emp. 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 w ill b e entirely satisfac tor y to—to p arties without prejudi ce. B u t that is not the p oint. I have been proclaiming with all my m ight, for nearly half a century, that the Cap tains Tongue and Pen ought to do the work which barbaris m trusted in t o Captain Sword, and I am re j o i ced to have maid; a convert of the master of 600,000 soldiers, The Emp. Have you done ? Dr . F. No, Sire; I have only just begun. And then, Sire, hew 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 be thankful. You have no Constitution— Elie Emp. I'll hunt with you, shoot with you, dine with you —come, I'll even sit out a melodrama in eleven acts w ith you, for a thousand napoleons. Or make it sovereigns. Dr. P. Sire, could you suspect me of a personal refer ence ? I mean that you, as Franoe, 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 hava heard; and if proclivities are to be judged by elections— _ The Emp, Don't r em i n d me of that infernal Duke of Defeats. D r. p. Pardon the allusion, Sire. If you can get a Con gress into Paris I dare say a good many Frenchmen, espe cially those in the commercial and hotel line, will be on' vinced that their patriotism was a mistake. The Emp. Well, am Ito have a Congres s f ..;siir! I sent for y ou to ask, but you are so full drat cation that there's no edging in a word. Dr. P. Consider, Sire, a struggle of near ly half a eentury crowned by my finding myself th e V i c t o r of t h e Victor of the w3rld: The Emp. Very well, Dr. Johnson, an d now answer my quDr.estion. P. Well, Sire, if you come to that, there are several preliminary inquiries which I dleust make, and the first i s , what time does your Majesty ? the _Env,. We'll ascertain, an d then have a q uiet w eed in the pavilion. our Majesty's orders. You will not re. Dr. P. Ism at y Doctor's A dvice.
