The Discount Market is in a very disturbed con dawn, and the quotation generally asked for the befit three months' bills is 7 per cent. The Bank have not altered their minimum, but have never the,less required one per cent. more for certain descriptions of business than they did a few days a go. This has occasioned an unsettled feeling out of ' d oors, and increased strengency is generally e x Peeted. Large quantities of specie are expected to leave for India, the Brazils, Egypt, and other pLa ces. During the last few days there has been rather : i lia animation in the Foreign and Colo nial Produne 'arkets. Sugar, however, has generally supported !mous prices. For coffee the demand has con tinued heavy, while a large amount of business has b een don e i n r i ce at enhanced prices. Spices and trait have remained at about previous quotations, W hile the tallow market has been dull , and p rices att. "; is some instances, slightly given way. Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have received b 7 this mail on account of New Granada dividends -From the Custom-house of Santa Marts , £ 1,928 'B. 7d . ; Carthugena, £567 10s. ; Rio Hache, £l4l 9 s. 9d. ; total, £2,637 6s. 4d. The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit tance of £1,259 18s. 2d. on account of the dividends on the debt of Ecuador. _ Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co.'s agents in Venezuela advise that they had received for 55 per eetit. of the import duties for three weeks :—From the Custom-house of La Guayra, 69,986 dole. 72c. ; and from Puerto Cabella there had been received, 1 ) 6 41 dols. 85c.; total, 71,628 dole. 57c. Two o'CLocir. At the first general meeting to-day of the pro prietors of the Mode, Punjaub, and Delhi Bank Corpo rat i on th e re port, an extract of which has already been published, was adopted. Mr. W. P. Andrew occupied the chair, and informed the share holders that the business of the bank had been but too recently commenced to allow a detailed state tient to be given, but little doubt existed as to the ultimate prosperity of the establishment. The shareholders of the Victoria Docks also held a special meeting to-day for the purpose of receiving a proposition from the lessees for the transfer of their(the shareholder's) property to the London and St. Katharine , s Dock Companies, the price to be paid being £lO7 103. for every £lOO stock, and £2l 10s. for every £2O share, The Stock Exchange Market closed yesterday 'with a very heavy !appearance, and increased de pression has been experienced to-day. The un settled state of political affairs abroad and the prospect of dearer money at home have weakened the markets for stocks and shares, and sales having been negotiated on an extensive scale, prices have all receded. Consols this morning have declined another I per cent., the present prices being 911 921 for money; 901 a, less the dividend, for the 3d 1 1UL ; and 91} for the January settlement. The :New Threes are last quoted 90 901 ; the Reduced Annuities, 90k; Exchequer Bills, 10s. to ss. dis. ; and India 5 per Cents., 1081 1. In the early part of the day a decided decline took place in the value of the principal speculative Poreign Securities, but a partial recovery has since occurred, and the market presents a generally firm appearance. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are now 69 1 701 ; Mexican, 36} a ; Cheek, 291 ; Spanish Passive, 33 34 ; ditto Certificates, 131 d ; and the Confederate Loan, 55 57. In the other stocks the transactions have been as fellows:—Portuguese Serip, d t prem. (since then, however, the price has risen to 1 prem.) ; Italian 5 per Cents., 709 = ; Venezuelan 6 per Cents., 551 ; Peruvian, 41 per Cents., 80 4 ; Russian 5 per Cents. 87 1 _ _ Tne operations in Railway Shares have been on a very limited scale, and the few bargains recorded Show a further decline in values. Metropolitan have receded 305., Blaekwall and South Eastern 158 ., Great Western, North Western, and Midland, I ° B .l and Great Eastern, and Lancashire and York- Shire 58. Th e Foreign and Colonial lines have remained Without any change of importance. Bank Shares continue depressed. Imperial Otto 11lan have declined to 161, London and County to 1 5 , Alliance of London and Liverpool to 46, and -tist London to 7k. , the Miscellaneous Market Discount Corpora "oo have receded to 81 9, and Rio de Janeiro Im provement to 27i. tank s B t R oc I k TISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. a ,Per Cent.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MA RLEO ROUGH - STREET. TEE " QUIET" SIDE OF THE HAYMARKET.-Mr William Jaques, gentleman, of 51, Torrington-square, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and disorderly in the Haymarket. Thos. Shillingford, 325 A, deposed to seeing the defendant in the Haymarket about 4 o'clock this morning with about 20 prostitutes and several men round hint. The defendant had a stick flourishing about, and broke it over a gentle man's head. He advised defendant to go away, but he refused, stating that he had lost his purse, and charged female with stealing it, but directly after found it in his pocket. As the defendant refused to go away, he with the assistance of two other constables took him into custody. Defendant---What class of persons were round me ? Shillingford—Prostitutes and their companions. Defendant—l was walking home on the quiet side of the Haymarket, when I was seized at each side by a female, and one of them stole my purse. A mob of prostitutes and bullies got round me, and my hat was knocked off. I was excited, but not drunk, and it is the first time I was ever locked up. Shillingford—The defendant was drunk; I had seen him there at 12 o'clock. Mr. Knox—A person who goes to the Haymarket, and stops there from 12 to 4 o'clock, is pretty sure to find him self surrounded by thieves and prostitutes. You sayl woman took your purse, and yet the constable finds it in your pocket. My advice to you is to avoid the:Haymarket at night. You must pay 20s or 14 days. ROIitERY AT A FEATHER WAREHOUSE.—}lettry Vaux, a young man in the employ of Mr. John Baptist Fleisch mann, feather merchant, of 20, Noel-street, Soho, was charged before Mr. Knox with Stealing a quantity of ostrich feathers of the value of £5, the property of his employer. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prosecution. In opening the ease, Mr. Lewis said the prisoner had been only a few mouths in. Mr. Pleischmann's employ, and in consequence of a quantity of feathers being missed, sus- PiejOn WP.a thrown on all the persons employed. More lea then being missed, Webb, a police constable, was employed to watch, and apprehended the prisoner with a quantity of feathers in his possession, the property of Mr. Fleisch mann. Alfred Burgess, foreman to Mr. Fleisohmann, proved giving the prisoner 21 lbs of ostrich feathers yesterday to string, and on the prisoner returning them to him he found the weight deficient. The feathers, 28 in number, were a portion of those he gave the prisoner. Mr. John Baptist Fleischman identified the 28 feathers and a parcel of 13 more as his property. Webb, 112 C, proved following the prisoner on leaving his employ t o Ol d -street. St. Luke ' s, and on stopping him and telling hi m h e was charged on suspicion of robbing his employer, he produced 28 feathers from his pocket, and on his (Webb) g o i ng to 14, Prospect-place, Islington, where the prisoner l o d ged, he found 13 more. On the way to the station the pris oner said, " Some kind friend has done it for me." Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for trial, but being told that his mother was dying, offered to take bail in £2OO for his appearance at the Sessions. THAMES. A VERY BAD APPRENTICE.—A tradesman came before Mr. Partridge this morning to complain of his apprentice, who ho said had been disobedient, saucy, revealed the secrbts of his trade, bought articles in violation of the deed of apprenticeship, and refused to stop in doors and do some menial work on Sundays. Mr. Livingston, the chief usher, who is alivays in atten dance on the magistrate when applications are made, said the indenture was not dated. The applicant—lndeed, the lad was apprenticed seven months ago. There is a date, I think. Mr. Partridge --There is no date at all, and Mr. Living ston is quite right. Now, what is your first complaint ? Applicant—He absented himself last Wednesday, but I forgave him for that. Mr. Partridge—Nell, I cannot take any notice of that. When did he again absent himself ? Applicant--On Sunday last. Mr. Partridge —I cannot punish him for that; every apprentice has a right to his Sunday. Applicant--I only wanted him to do some menial work inside the house. Mr. Partridge—But you cannot compel him to work on Sunday menial work. He is not to do any work on the Sabbath day. What is the next complaint ? Applicant—He has bought and sold. Mr. Partridge—Has he bought and sold the articles in your shop ? Applicant—No, sir, he bought a comb of a person who comes round with those things. Mr. Partridge—He bought a comb to comb his hair, I suppose. Now, what is the next complaint? Applicant—He reveals the secrets of my trade. Mr. Partridge—How does he reveal your secrets? Applicant—Well, I don't exactly know how. Mr. Partridge—Nor do I. What is the next complaint ? Applicant—Ho is very saucy. Mr. Partridge—How was he saucy ? Applicant—Last Saturday night, when I told him to do something, he said, " I am doing it." Mr. Partridge said the master and apprentice were going on very uncomfortably together. If the lad absented him self in the weekdays or neglected his duty he would grant a summons. At present there was nothing stated on which he could act, and he must decline to grant a summons. Another tradesman applied to Mr. Partridge for a sum mons against his apprentice, who had been frequently in toxicated. Mr. Partridge—What age is he ? The applicant replied seventeen. One day last week he was very drunk and unable to attend to his work. Mr. Partridge—•A lad of seventeen drunk I You would have been justified in chastising him. Take your summons, MARYLEBONE. LOVERS' QUARRELS.—CURIOUS CAST: OF ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—SamueI Eastman, aged 20, a clerk, was charged before Mr. Yardley with attempting to commit suicide under the following strange circumstances Thomas Ward, foreman at Readley-wharf, Camden towa, said—About ten o'clock last night I was passing over the towing path to my house, when I noticed the prisoner leaning on the bridge. As I passed him I wished him good night, but he made no reply, nor took any notice of me. This aroused my suspicions, and I spoke to the lock keeper about him. The lock keeper went and spoke to him, but I cannot tell what ho said. In less than five minutes after this, and whilst I was standing with the lock keeper, the prisoner went in a running pace to the side of the canal, took off his coat and scarf, and whilst he was taking his waistcoat off we both took hold of him. I asked him what he was going to do, when he said ho would carry out his intention. I advised him to go away, and took him to the main road. Mr. Yardley—Did he say what his intention was? Witness—No. lie did not. Mr. Yardley—Ho might have meant to go bathing. (Laughter.) Witness—He said his intention was best known to him self, so I told the lock keeper to look to him whilst I fetched police-constable Ashleford, 383 S. Mr. Yardley (to prisoner) — What have you to say now ? Prisoner (in a low desponding state)—l am exceeding sorry. Mr. Yardley—For what ? Prisoner—For what I have done to be brought here. Mr, Yardley—And what was that ? _ . Prisoner—l had something pressing on my mind. Mr. Yardley—And you was going to drown yourself ? Prisoner—Yes. Mr. Yardley—What I a young man, 20 years of age , with whom something has gone wrong, going in a foolish moment to drown himself. What caused this ? Prisoner—l had had some words. Mr. Yardley—With a young woman ? Prisoner—Yes. Mr. Yardley—You are a monstrous foolish fellow. Be cause you had a few words with your first love, you set about, at 10 o'clock at night, to jump over the canal bridge. A more foolish simpleton I never heard of. You are only 20 years of age—not old enough to begin these love matters yet. A lovers' quarrel, and you wish to kill yourself. Have you any friends ? Frisoner—Yes. Mr. Yardley—Have you a mamma ? Prisoner—l have, sir. A young lady here entered the court, and, entering the witness-box, gave a fond look at tho prisoner, and burst out crying. Mr. Yardley—Come, come, there's no damage done yet; he was only going to cool himself on a cold November night. I suppose you are engaged to him ? Young lady—l am. Mr. Yardley—Then you are the cause of his taking off his clothes last night. I don't wish you to state the cause of your quarrel, but I hope that the breach is not so wide as to be irreconcileable. Do you think you can take him for a husband after this ? Young lady—Oh, yes; I will. (Laughter.) Mr. Yardley—You are a bold woman. (Loud laughter.) Take him away with you, and if I find hirn i n t h e canal again I will send him to e House of Correction to dry. The lovers then left together.

LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY,) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. SYMMS V. FRASER. His lordship having summed up the evidence, the jut, returned a verdict for the defendants. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder,) POST OFFICE ROBBERIES. George Gillham, 27, letter carrier, was sentenced to three years' penal servitude for stealing a post letter containing 1 sovereign and 48 postage stamps, the property of her Majesty's Postmaster General. John Baker, 30, letter carrier, was sentenced to four years' penal servitude for stealing a letter containing 72 postage stamps and a sixpence. Thomas Cutts, 24, letter carrier, was sentenced to five years' penal servitude for stealing a letter containing two half sovereigns and 40 postage stamps. CHARGE OF PERTURY. John Yates surrendered to an indictment charging him with having committed wilful and corrupt perjury. In June last a person named Benjamin Everett, residing in Bethnal-green, was apprehended and tried at this court for receiving 22 skins and 129 pairs of boots and shoes, part of a larger quantity of property stolen from the premises of Mr. Shelton, of Bow. At the trial Yates (the defendant) was one of the witnesses, and swore that he took the pro perty to Everett and sold it. The result was that Everett wa s found guilty, and sentenced to id years' penal servitude, he protesting at the time that he had been innocently con victed. Application was then made to the judge for leave to brizg;an indictment for perjury against Yates, and affi davits having been forwarded to the Home-office, the pre sent proceedings were the result. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Sleigh appeared for Everett, and Mr. Ribton and Mr. Orridge for the defendant. After a very effective opening speech by the learned sergeant, Everett was brought into court hancuffed, and, in answer to questions from his counsel, most solemnly denied that he had ever acted in the manner Yates had sworn he had done. Mr. Ribton then minutely cross-examined Everett as to his antecedents. The case was proceeding when we went to press. NE W COURT. The Common Sergeant was occupied the whole of the morning in disposing of several cases, none of which pos sessed the slightest interest. MARKETS--This Day. HAY MARKETS.

TEE SCOTTISH HOSPITAL Yesterday being St. Andrew's day, the patrons of the Scottish Hospital celebrated their 199th anniversary. The cir .lunastance of the chairman of the evening being the veteran statesman, the head of the Government, added to tae inherent claims of the institution, attracted a very large muster of the friends of this national institution, the largo hall being completely tilled. The hall was decorated with the banners of the various Scotch clans, and the pipers of her Majesty and of the Highland Society were also in attendance to give a local colour to the scene, Upon Lord Paluaerston's entrance, headed by the pipers, and accompanied by the Duke of Agyll, the Earl of Leven, Lord Campbell, and Sir IL Murchison, the noble Premier was received with the greatest enthusiasm. Among the other guests present were Archdeacon Sinclair, Sir J. 11. Maxwell, Sir W. Stirling, Sir W. Fraser, M.P., Gen. Sir J. Love, Alderman Lusk, Mr. Maclean, Dr. 'Webster, and Professor Fergusson, &c, Upon the withdrawal of the cloth, Lord PAIMERSTON rose and said, the first toast which it was his duty to propose was an expression of the sentiment which lay deepest in the heart of every subject of her Ma jesty—he meant " The health of her Majesty the Queen." (Cheers.) They had the happiness to live under the mild and gentle sway.Of one of the most enlightened, kindest hearted, and most constitutional Sovereigns that ever ruled in any country, or at any time, and therefore he could con fidently rely upon a cordial welcome to the toast which he proposed. The toast having been enthusiastically honoured, The CHAIRMAN, in proposing "The health of the Prince and Princess of Wales," reminded the company that the Prince had received a part of his education in Edinburgh, and so discreet had his Royal Highness been that, although Oxford and Cambridge had also shared the honours of seats of his instruction, no one had been able to extract from him to which place he owed most. (Hear, and laughter.) The toast was duly honoured, as was also that of " Prince Alfred and the rest of the Royal Family." The noble CHAIRMAN then rose to propose " The Army, Navy, and Volunteers." He said—lt is satisfactory to know that these three branches of our defence are in the best pos sible condition. I believe the army and the navy never were in a greater state of efficiency, considering their limited numbers. The officers are more instructed and intelligent than at any former period. The men, both of the army and of the navy, have had their comforts and wants better at tended to than at any former time, the questions of their wants and comforts having occupied the attention of the country, the Parliament, and the Government. There is no better security for peace—which is, after all, and which ought to be, the great object of every nation---(cheers)— there is no better security for peace than a perfect state of defence. (Cheers.) The nation at large ought to be able with confidence to pronounce your motto none one impure lacessit. (Loud cheers.) It does not follow that strong national defences indicate hostile intentions towards other countries, but they do enable this country to be peaceful and friendly towards other nations, and to meet occasional affronts with becoming dignity—(cheers) —while scrupu lously abstaining from giving just cause of offence to others. We have recently added to our defensive forces the Volunteers—a most admirable institution—(cheers)— and one which I trust has taken a firm and permanent root among the establishments of the country. (Cheers.) That force now amounts, I believe, to something like 170,000 men, and I was talking the other day to Col. M'Murdo, the in spector of that force, and he spoke in the highest terms of its general efficiency. Scotland has a right to take a deep interest in these services, because Scotland has borne her full and honourable share in the production of distinguished officers and brave and gallant men. (Cheers.) That is ad mitted by all the world. I remember during the Crimean war a paper published in Paris contained a picture of a High land sentry standing with his heels resting on the brink o f an abrupt precipice, and the motto underneath was " Fearnothing for him ; he never goes back." ( Loud cheers.) It would be a long catalogue to remind you of the distin guished officers of the army and navy whose exploits stand recorded in the history of this country; but I may be per mitted, perhaps, not to recall to :your minds, because no one can have forgotten them, but to repeat the names of one or two of those whom we have recently lost. I may mention I th e glorious Lord Clyde (cheers), who combined the longest period of distinguished service and the most brilliant ex ploits with the most unassuming modesty. (Cheers.) It is needless to remind you of the two great naval commanders lost to this country within the last few years, Lord Dun donald and Charley Napier. (Loud cheers.) The last I had the honour of calling my personal friend, and i t so hap pened that I had officially more opportunities than often falls to the lot of a Minister to watch his career, to estimate his merits, and to know the value of the services which he rendered, not only to this country, but to Europ e at large. (Cheers.) That brilliant action of his against the Portu guese squadron secured the liberties of Portugal, and his achievements in Syria enabled us in one season to accom plish results which at the commencement were deemed to be almost impossible. Therefore I say that Scotland, having her full share of glory in our military an d naval annals, I am sure you will drink with enthusiasm the " Array, Navy, and Volunteers. The toast having been duly honoured, General Sir J. LOVE returned thanks for the army, Sir J. H. A uxiorELl. for the navy, and Lord CAMPBELL for the Volunteers. The Noble CHAIRMAN next proposed the toast of " Pros, perity to the Scottish Hospital," which, he said, was a most admirable institution, recommended not only by the benefits it conferred, but by the antiquity of its origi n . H e believed that its charter dated two centuries back, but its real origin was still more remote. Th e inatita_ tion had the merit of being aty pe of Scottish nation ality. That nationality differed in a remarkable way from the nationality of many other countries. There were some countries in which the people showeduthenigr spirit of nationality by hating, by abusing, and by in jri all who did not belong to themselves; but the nationality of Scotchmen was evinced in a totally different manner. Scotchmen showed their nationality by loving each other-- (cheers and laughter), by helping each other, and by being kind and useful to each other, and therefore he said that their nationality was of a peculiar character —one highly to be praised, and which ho hoped would be long kept up for the honour of the country. (Cheers.) This institution was founded upon that principle, and it was a valuable applica tion of the principle. There were many charities and bene factions which were bestowed upon persons who might pos sibly do well without them, or who, receiving them, might be destroyed, or degraded, or led away by the largess from employing their natural abilities or qualities to support them selves without aid from others. (Cheers.) This charity tended to no such result. Its gifts to individuals were small in amount, bat they were judiciously administered when men were struggling in the turbulent waters of ad versity, when to them, as to men between sinking and swimming, a slight suppart would be a means of rescue. (Cheers.) The liberality of this institution was extended to those who were borne down by temporary sickness, to those who were almost overwhelmed by accidental calami. ties, RIM whose natural resources were insufficient to meet particular emergenciencss. It also aided those who, having failed to maintain themselves in this country by their own efforts, were anxious to return to the land of their birth. There could not be a better application of a generous libe rality. A Scotchman was not e man who was in the habit of leaning upon other people. He was brought up with ideas of industry and self-reliance, but no man was exempt from the vicissitudes of life, and therefore the temporary relief afforded by this institution effected an immense amount of good among those who really needed such assistance. ‘, 'The Duke of ARGYLL proposed " The Health of the Chairman," whose notion of recreation, he said, seemed to consist in hard work, and who having passed a considerable portion of nis educational career in Scotland had not failed to do justice to the instruction ho had .received in that country. The toast was drunk with the utmost enthusiasm. Lord PALMERSTON, in reply, said—l beg most sincerely and from the bottom of my heart to thank you for the cordial manner in which you have received the toast. I can assure you it has given me very great pleasure to have had the honour of presiding on the present occasion. It would indeed be the height of ingratitude on my part if I were not to take a most lively interest in all that concerns the welfare of Scotland and Scotchmen, for I am deeply indebted to Scot land. I passed three years of my youth in studying at the University of Edinburgh, and I will frankly own, without disparagement to any other seat of learning at which 1 had, from peculiar circumstances, the fortune to reside, that I enjoyed greater advantages in the acquirement of useful knowledge and sound principles during my three years' re sidence in Edinburgh than I possessed at any oth©r place. (Cheers.) I had there the advantage of association with llugald Stewart, with Playfair, with Gregory, and all the other distinguished men who then gave instruction to youth in Edinburgh, and which advantage I could not have en joyed elsewhere. (Cheers.) Therefore I feel a deep interest in Scotland, from gratitude to the country and io its people. In all things there is poetry and there is prose. My learned friend near me, Sir R. Murchison, i w ill tell you in prose that a part of Scotland has within the h istoric p eriod risengreatly in the world—in some places to the extent of 2d or 30 feel higher than it was, But it is quite certain that Scotland eptiopnoeottl: poetry risen higher in the wor ld in other ways besides geolo and g p i r c o a s l e l y . O B no u t o t t h 3 e .o r u e is s a great poe difference s gives a d between i Scot laud that is by no means flattering— " great " Land of brown heath and shaggy wood, " Land of the mountain and the flood." And then he goes on to talk of the rugged strand, Which does not form a very pleasant picture. But in pioso it appears yo ur brown heaths swarm with grouse—a tear, laughter)—your glo sa ns are teeming with deer, and your ' and floods are alive with lmou. (Cheers,) All these are sources of wealth to the owners.ot the heaths, the me • the floods, But regarding Scotland purely Untains, and would say that it is a country remarkable t prosaically, I intelligence of its people, for the high s t a t e f scientific or the educated culture there practised, tor the great pros o agri nufaeturing industry, and for its successfulprosperity of its ma terprise.

(FROM OUR OWN REPORTER). TWELFTH DAY. ALDERSHOT, Tuesday. The Court met this morning at half-past 10 o'clock, the same members being present as yesterday, On the opening of the court, Colonel Sir A. Horsford said he should suggest for the consideration of the prisoner whether he would not pi oceed with the cross-examination of the sergeant and sentries at once, as they were called by the prosecution without any other view than their being examined by the court and the prisoner. Colonel Crawley should be glad to adopt the sugges• tion of the prosecutor, and examine the sentries, but in respect to any other witnesses he should ask for the same indulgence he had hitherto received, and postpone their cross-examination till the day after their examination in chief. He also begged leave to state that in reply to the application he had made in respect to the production of the letter from his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge to Colonel Shute, referred to in yesterday's evidence, he had been informed that it would be sent to the prosecutor. He inquired if that had been done, and whether he would pro • duce it ? Colonel Sir A. Horsford said that he had read the letter in question this morning, but it was still under the consi deration of the Court whether it would be necessary to produce it. Sergeant Alexander Ad'Ams, of the 6th Dragoons, was then sworn and examined by Colonel Sir A. Horsford—Were you ever on duty when the late Sergeant Major Lilley was under arrest ?—I was once. Did you visit the sevatries in the first bungalow ?—I did. Where were they 'posted ?—ln No. 2 room in the centre of the room. What orders cRd they give up P—To take charge of the prisoner; allow no communication with any one but his native servant and medical officer. The native servant was to be searched both going in and out. Do you vemembsion what day you were= this duty ? I believe it was the 9th of May. What, character did Sergeant Major Lilley bear for so briety and soldier-like conduct 2—A very good one.; Crr,ss•examined by Colonel Crawley—At what o'clock was it that yon visited the sentries on the 9th of May 2 A,bout, ten o'clock at night. Did you see Mrs. Litley on that occasion ?—No. Describe what the proper position of the sen try was on the model ?—ln the centre of that room (pointing out the position on the model). He walked from the door of the servant's room in No. 2, to the door of No. 4 room. Colonel Pipon—Let me . hoar exactly, describing by the model, the proper walk and poet of the sentry ?—Between the door of the office and the door of the large outer room. Did you ever see the sentry nearer the door of the bed room than the centre of the office-room ?—Never. Did you visit the sentry next day ?—Yes. Where was Sergeant Major Lilley and where was the sentry ?-11e was at the outer door of the servants' room with the sentry behind him. lie was at the door looking towards the barracks. Was the office room employed by Sergeant Major Lilley as an office, and did the orderly sergeant go there with these states at an early hoar of the morning I ) —Y es, and the orderly sergeants used to call there at all hours, at 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning. You are now speaking of the room where the sentries were posted ?—Yes. Sergeant Elezer Eland, of the 6th Dragoons, sworn. Examined by Colonel Sir A. Horsford—l was on duty while Sergeant Major Lilley was under arrest. I mounted guard on the 27th of April, 1862, and on the 121st of May, 1862, I recollect the orders I took over about the sen tries. On the 27th of April the sentry was to take charge of the prisoner, to allow no communication to take place between anyone outside and the prisoner, and the native servant was to bo searched on going in and com ing out. By Colonel Pipon—These were the orders when I mounted guard. On the 28th of April I received fresh orders. On the morning of the 28th Sergeant Major Cotton brought a fresh order to the guard room. I cannot state the order, it was written; it was to the effect that the sentry was to be placed in Sergeant Major Lilley's bunga low in his quarters. 1 accordingly placed the sentry inside the bungalow myself. What were the orders on the 21st of May ?—Between the 28th of April and the 21st of May the sergeant major had been shifted into different quarters. The orders were simi lar to those given in regard to the former bungalow, only that Sergeant Major Lilley had permission to sleep in the verandah. Witness continued—On the 28th of April he posted the sentry in the little room, No. 4. In the second bungalow the sentry was posted in: the verandah, and the sergeant major slept under the window of the small room, No. 2. Ho always considered Sergeant Major Lilley a steady, sober, upright man. By Colonel Crawley—The order ho received on the 28th of April was from Sergeant Major Cotton in writing. Neither Lieutenant Fitzsimon nor Sergeant Major I. Cotton went with him when the change of sentries was made on the 28th of April. The orders did not state where it was that the sentry was to be placed ; so he placed him in No. 4 room. It was left to his discretion. On the 2d of May, about noon, he again visited the sentry. Sergeant Major Lilley was sitting in an easy chair just outside the door of his room, No. 1 room. He never received any complaints from Sergeant Major or Mrs. Lilley. Colonel Crawley handed in a written protest against the nature of the evidence in chief of the last witness. CAorporal Wm. Parr of the Gth Dragoons, ex a • Sir . H ors ford—said , he had been eight years a r cumed by mon ths in the regiment.

Sergeant Major Lilley's character was that of a sober, steady man, lie was on duty twice during the arrest, on both occasions in the bungalow in which he died. To the best of his re collection, it was on the 17th or 18th of May, and again on the 22d. The sentry was not to allow any communication with the prisoner except by the n ative servant and the me dical officer, the former of whom was to be searched on en tering and leaving. The If documts were found they were to was nut to lose be handed to tee adjutant. The s entry sight of the prisoner. by Colonel Crawley—He could not see Mrs. Lilley's bed from the place at which the sentries were posted. He saw Mrs. Lilley onc e or twice, but he could not say whether he was on duty or off' on these occasions. She was on the outer verandah when he saw her. Corporal James Cowan said he bad been in the 6th Dra goons 17 years. Sergeant Major Lilley bore a good charac ter for sobriety and soldierlike conduct. Witness was on duty twice during his arrest, but he could not remember the dates, He wie on duty both in the first and second bungalows. In the first bungalow the sentries were posted in No. 4 and No. 2 inside, by the front of the door. By Colon e l Crawley—Fsentries the place where the wore posted Mrs. Lilley's bed could not be seen. Private John Stone said he had been in the regiment five years and seven mouths. Sergeant Major Lille} , was a sober, steady, n on - commissioned officer. By Colonel Crawley —He never entered Mrs. Lilley's bedroom, nor did he ever see Mrs. Lilley iu her bedroom. , Sorgeant Samuel James said he had been in the 6th Dragoons eight years and eight mouths. Sergeant Major Lilley bore a very good character. Witness was corporal of the guard on the 10th of May, 1862. He posted the sentries in No. 2 room, called " the office." (The witness repeated the orders to the sentries in almost the same words as the previous witnesses.) By Colonel Crawley—When he first visited the sentries on the 10th of May Mr. and Mrs. Lilley were sitting in the front verandah. The sentries had no business to go nearer to her bed room than the centre of the office room. Corporal John Condy said he had been in the 6th Dra goons five years and five months. He knew Sergeant Major Lilley to have been a sober, steady man. (The witness agreed with the others in reference to the orders the sen tries received). There was a chick over the dour of the sergeant major's bedroom, which prevented the sentry from seeing in. A person might see over the check if he went close to it. He did not see Mrs. Lilly unt i l the morning of the 25th of May, She was then in a n i ght.. dress. By Colonel Crawley—On that day he found that th° sentry was not where he had posted him. He called out and some one said %. Come in." He then lifted up a . : chick, and saw tha sentry supporting the sergeant major o n his arm in bed. That was how he came to see Mrs. Lille) , in her night dress. At that time the sergeant major Was dying. If the sergeant major had not been dying, and it witness had not been called in he should not have seen Mrs, Lilley in her night-dress. Before he lifted up the chick h a could not see what was going on in the room. There w as no medical man with the major when witness went in and found blra dying. According to the orders received the sentry had no right to go within 2 feet of Mrs. Lilley's bed. The Court shortly afterwards adjourned. LONDON GAZETTE—This Evening, WAR-OFFICE, Nov. 28.
