THE ALLEGED ILL-TREATMENT OF A FEMALE ON BOARD TBE DAUNTLESS. PUBLICATIONS. THE WAR. LIVERPOOL. The Liverpool Standard says : " The news from the east of the victories of the allied forces over the Russians iu the 2rimea, was partially celebrated in This town yesterday (Monday), by the ringing 'of peals on the bells of the parigh churches, St. Nicholas' and St. Peter's. There were also some few flags displayed. The general demonstration has been delayed until after the intelligence of the capture of Sebastopol and the Russian fleet has been officially con firmed, when, it is believed, the Government will appoint a day of general thanksgiving for the victory vouchsafed to .her Majesty's arms and those of her allies. In such a de monstration Liverpool must not be behind other towns, and it is said that Manchester has resolved to render any rivalry with her display of loyalty a difficult task." Theilfercurg adds : " As might have been expected, the 'news of the successes of the allied forces was received here with marked satisfaction. Flags floated from the public buildings, and some of the tradesmen of the town hoisted bunting on the occasion. At the Liver establishment, in Church street, a fine flag was displayed. As the day ad vanced the parishioners were somewhat startled at hearing the sound of the bells of the two parish churches,-which had been so long kept silent to gratify the spleen of the church wardens. The bells poured forth their joyous sounds at intervals during the afternoon, in celebration of the glori ous victory in the East." The following translations of the observations of some of the Paris papers, on the news of the taking of Sebastopol, will be read with interest.

It belonged to Napoleon 111. to take a marked revenge on Russia for •the glorious disaster which prepared the sublime downfall of Napoleon I. And what is noble and grand in this re venge is, thot it is taken in the name of a universal inte rest, that it saves Europe and protects civilisation, that it prepares for the world a long future of peace, calm, and tranquillity.

" The safe I purchased of you had a most severe test, in conso queue° of a barrel of brimstone standing close to it andanelting with the heat of the fire, the burning lava running all over and under the sane, which great) , added to the intensity of the heat; it remained In that position about four hours, and when with great difficulty it was got out of the fire and opened, I found my books and papers all uninjured. _ _ _ " You are At liberty to make what use you please of this informa tioa. ."

" Being anxious to see if It had been attracted by the sulphur, I scraped some of the blistered iron from the inside and outside of the safe, and, from analysis, find much sulphuret, so that it must have been greatly acted upon by the sulphur, yet the books and papers were perfectly uninjured.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resultin g from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have prouuced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at ;al stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. It., p erusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is sutitied. It is absolutely necessary thatall men ehould k now, that there are principles of personal mana,,rement which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con,equences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive Practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have unfortunately been tea generally confided to the care of ignorant Insntries, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

MOST IMPORTANT BENEFIT EVER YET OFFERED ET THE UNIVERSAL PROVIDENT LIFE ASSOClATlON.—Established 1849. Persons insured for Life, who have paid three yearly pr , miums and upwards, can receive back their money, less the premium for the risk incurred during the time they were insured on surrender of the policy. EXAMPLE. A B, aged 35, pays 14/. 3s 9c1.11:;;;r for Life for 5001, and at the end of seven years wishes to drop his Policy—he will at this time have paid 99/. 63. 3d., and fir the surrender of the Policy he would in other offices get a very little, if anything, and the premiums would consequently be lost. The Directors of the Universal Provident, feeling this to be a great hardship and a positive obstacle to the adoption of Life Assurance by all classes, have adopted the fquitable principle of deducting the pre mium for the time the risk has been incurred from the premiums pall, and returning the balance to the parties, thus making a profit tn,ms , lves without any risk. In the example above the insurance for 5001. for the time would have been 91. 9s 70. per annum, or 661. 7s. Id.; this deducted from 991. 6s. 3d. leaves 321. 19s. 2d. to be returned. The advantage of thi , principle is peculiarly applicable when Policies are taken out to cover Loans. . Diseased lives and lives rejected by other offices tali en. C. W.

SHEERNESS, Oct. 3.—The Hannibal will be all com plete this evening and ready for sea to-morrow. Early on the morning of the 2d, four of her crew descended Jacob's ladder over tho stern, and got away in the first and second gigs.' They have not since been heard of. Our constables hero are in daily search of her stragglers, now only 53 in number. She is at present nearly 400 hands short of her complement. The Captain of Marines, Henry Varlo, has been sent to Melville Hospital by medi cal certificate (for injuries received some time since whilst iu the execution of his duty), preparatory to a medical survey being held upon him, for his being invalided, the injury received being of that nature that will for some time render him incapable of active service. Mr. Bonney's patent gutty percha speaking tubes have been fitted from the quarter deck, and sent up into the fore and main tops. Yesterday it blew a fresh wind, and the voices of the men in the tops could scarcely be heard on the quarter deck ; at this time a communication was carried on between the quarter deck officers and the captain of the tops, which terminated highly satisfactorily to the officers, each merely speaking in "a moderate tone of voice. Every sentence - 4rasQely understood and answered. The folloWitifientlehaen yesterday (by an Admiralty H order) visited the dockyard here :—Mons. G.

Captain Inglefield was telegraphed to attend at the Admiralty on Tuesday morning, and immediately pro ceeded to town. It appears strange that the ships and steamers of Captain Sir Edward Belcher's expedition should have been abandoned when the Talbot conveyed so much provisions to Beechey Island, and the officers and crew of the Phoenix volunteered to remain out during the next winter in charge of them. SHOT AND SHELL FOR THE EAST. The Adder steam-vessel came up the river at an early hour on Tuesday morning from Sheerness, and towed the Prince 'screw steam transport to Greenhithe, where she is to complete taking on board the powder, shot, and shell she is to convey to the seat of war in the East, and, after she has had her compasses adjusted, she will embark the 46th 8. , giment of Foot, now ordered to go on board at Greenhithe, and will proceed to her destination. ARRIVAL OF A RUSSIAN PRIZE. The Dwina, a Russian vesatl, laden with salt fish, and captured by the Miranda, 14, screw steam corvette, was towed up the river on Tuesday afternoon, to be taken into the docks and sold as a prize. THE RUSSIAN PRISONERS. An order has arrived at Sheerness for the removal of the Russian prisoners and their officerp to Milbay Prison, at Stonehouse, Devon port. They are to leaveby the steam vessel Preusses Adler, at 11 o'clock on Thursday. The following officers on parole here leave with them :—Captain Esauloft', Captain Shoeteff, Sub-Lieutenants Agafonoff and Pitchu lin, also Peremitoffski, Hankesitsch, Luneff and wife, and Lubinoil and wife—eight in number. Part of them will leave by the English steam-vessel Nile, with the following officers:—Lieutenant Syeroff and wife, Captain Perhensky, Lieutenant Niheson, and Com missary Iverstray, four in number. The steersman of the Carl has only received his parole, without.7s. per day subsistence money, as formerly re ported: All the Russian officers received their subsistence money Monday, being paid up to yesterday. They attended at the Duke of Clarence Inn. THE ARMY. The following circular has been issued: — GENERAL ORDER. Horse Guards, Oct. 2. The General Commanding-in-Chief is pleased to approve of general officers commanding districts in Great Britain, and officers commanding in garrisons not included in any military district, granting leave of absence to officers, and furloughs to non-commissioned officers and soldiers, under the following regulations and restrictions, viz.:- 1. Leave of absence granted under this order to officers may commence as soon as the half-yearly inspection shall have been made. Furloughs granted to non-commissioned officers and soldiers may commence from the Ist of the next month. 2. These indulgences are to terminate on the 10th of March next, when, agreeably to her Majesty's regulations, all officers and soldiers are to be present with their re spective regiments and depots. 3. One field officer, one-half of the captains, and one half of the subaltern officers, are always to be present. 4. No officer (except in the performance of duty, or for the purpose of joining his regiment) is to quit the United Kingdom without first having received her Majesty's spe cial permission, according to the regulations on that head. 5. Officers employed on the recruiting service, or upon the staff of the army, are not to he included in the number hereby fixed for the constant duty of the regiment or depot. 6. The applications for leave for regimental paymasters and medical officers are to continue to be made in the mode prescribed in the regulations and orders for the army. 7. In cases of hort leave of absence being requested by adjutants, riding-masters, quartermasters, or veterinary surgeons of regiments, it will be necessary that a special report shall be made as to the mode in which their duties are to be performed during their absence, and that the commanding officer is satisfied. 8. The proportion of non-commissioned officers, trum peters, drummers, and private men, to whom furloughs may be granted, is not to exceed 10 per troop or company. .When corps are not stationed in garrisons, or military districts, the officers commanding are at liberty to use their discretion in granting the indulgence of leave of ab sence, under the foregoing restrictions, to the officers and soldiers under their command, reporting the same to the adj utant-general. His lordship expects that the general and other officers, who are empowered to grant leave of absence under the provisions of this order will strictly confine that grant to the proportion of officers herein specified. By command of the Right Hon. General Viscount HARDINGE, C om manding-in-Chief. G. A. WETHERALL, Deputy Adjutant-General. Orders have been issued from the Horse Guards to 811 officers in the recruiting service, and to the commanding officers of the depots of regiments serving in the expedi tionary army, the lonian Islands, Malta, and Gibraltar, to proceed with the enlistment of men for the above-men tioned regiments with assiduity and despatch, as it is in tended immediately to send out all the available men who may have completed their drill at the various depots to join the service companies of their respective regiments, in order to fill up the vacancies that have occurred by sick ness or death. The service companies will be thus in creased to 1,000 bayonets each regiment. The officers com manding militia regiments, embodied and disembodied, are indefatigable in their exertions to obtain volunteers from their respecti ve re g iments for the lin e , in addition to filling up, because it is stated that fiv e infantry regiments to 011 'eat of war. of 1,000 4 stro oo n psto g each, and and two cavalry reg i nin t s, w ill b e forthwith BRISTOL. Yesterday was one continued scene of rejoicing for the victories on the Alma and the supposed fall of Sebastopol; the bells of all the churches rang joyous peels throughout the day. Flags were hoisted on all the shipping in the harbour, the public buildings, &c., and at night several of the houses in the principal streets were illuminated. On the arrival of The Sun of:Moaday evoning the intelligence in it was sought With the utmost iittity, and the news it contained was considered quite confirniatorr of the fall 'of Sebastopol. • WAKEFIELD. As soon as the intelligence of the battle of Alma reached this town, the enthusiasm of the populace knew no bounds. The fine peel of bells in the tower of the parish church rung out an inspiriting strain throughout the day.; flags and streamers were displayed from the battlements, and in tlie evening a band of music paraded the town. The practices of the fifth of November, were repeated in the Bull-ring, by the kindling of an immense fire, which illuminated the whole area of the market-place. Copies of The Sun were in great demand, ie some instances 2s. 6d: per copy being offered and refused. There was some idea of a general illumination in honour of the event, but with the exception of Mr. Tyas's printing and publishing establishment, the displays in this department were not general. In some degree, to minister to the po pular crawing for news, the Journal office and the prin cipal book shops displayed on their windows copies of the evening papers, which were read aloud by some enthu siastic individual for the benefit of the public. IPSWICH. Upon the announcement of the victory being received here, the bells of St. Mary Tower rang a merry peal throughout the day, and cannon were fired in various parts of the town. The flags of Various nations floated from the ships in harbour and public buildings in the town, in joyous manifestation of the event.—lpswich Express. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE. The mayor and corporation were attending Divine 'ser vice at St. Andrew's church on Sunday, to unite in thanks givings for a bounteous harvest, when the important intel ligence of the victory over the Russians was handed to his worship. The mayor immediately gave orders that the bells of the different churches in the town should be rung after service, and that the flag on the Castle should be hoisted. Similar demonstrations of rejoicing were made on Monday. OXFORD. Although it was understood in this city on Saturday night that a glorious victory had'been achieved by the allied Powers in the East, it was not generally known until Monday morning. As soon as the pleasing intelligence was spread, the greatest excitement and joy pervaded the whole city. Large flags waved from the tower of the city church, as well as from the tower of St. Thomas's Church, and the union jack was hoisted on the top of the county gaol, whilst the bells of St. Thomas and other churches rang merry peals. The announcement on Tuesday of the brilliant and important capture of Sebastopol through the same channel, caused additional joy and delight to be ma• uifested by all classes of her Msjesty's subjects in Oxford. An illumination, as soon as the official news is known, is talked of. BATH. The victory in the Crimea and the fall of Sebastopol were made known in this city on Sunday afternoon by means of the electric telegraph. The streets.at the time were much crowded by persons who had assembled to see the Second Somerset Militia march to church, and the glorious news was eagerly passed from point to point, exciting the intensest interest. It was told from many of the pulpits of the se veral cliurches and chapels during the evening service as a theme demanding a second thanksgiving, and after the close of public worship the bells sent forth peals of rejoicing. On Monday morning the greatest anxiety was manifested for the arrival of the London papers, and when it was found that they confirmed the report of the previous day, evi dences of gratification and rejoicing wore everywhere ma nifest. The flags were hoisted on all the church towers, and the bells continued " firing" throughout the day. Several private , establishments also displayed flags and banners. SHOREHAM. The news of the victory gained by the allied forces in the Crimea and the taking of Sebastopol having been spread about, tho ships in our harbour, amounting to about thirty, wore decorated with flags in honour of the victory. SWANSEA. The news of the taking of Sebastopol was early an nounced to the inhabitants of this town by a public no tice, signed by the mayor. It was received with the most lively demonstrations of joy. The bells of the parish church pealed forth strains throughout the day ; a band of music paraded the town, giving martial airs. The Eng lish and French ensigns were seen floating together from many a vessel in the harbour, and from the Custom-house, Town-hall, and other public buildings. The mayor ad dressed some thousands of his fellow-townsmen from the steps of the hall, in his official robes, at the close of which the air was rent by deafening huzzas, and cheers for our gracious Queen. EDINBURGH. The balls while I write (says our correspondent, in a hitter dated Monday), are ringing merry peals, in cele bration of the grand - victory in the Crimea, the intelli gence of which reached this yesterday, but was generally known only this morning. PERTH. The special messengers, coming north with despatches by the mail train on Saturday night, received at Perth on Sunday morning telegraphic despatches containing the stirring news from the East. One posted to Balmoral, by Spittal of Glenshee, to her Majesty : the other came north by railway, and posted from Aberdeen to ,Haddo House, the residence of Lord Aberdeen. The latter came back to Aberdeen the same afternoon, with despatches from the Premier to her Majesty. SEAFORD. On receipt of the intelligence of the victory at Alma by the Allies, flags were hoisted at this ancient and loyal town by the master-gunner of the battery, the coast-guard, and by Mr. Henry Simmons, the Mayor of Seaford. CARDIFF , A telegraphic message, anuonacing the above glorious intelligence, was received by our Mayor, John Batchelon, Esq., on Sunday evening last. His worship was at the In dependent Chapel at the time, when the Superintendentof Police conveyed the letter to him. The former immedi ately posted the gratifying intelligence outside the station house, when crowds of persons collected round the build ing to read the glorious victory attained by the Allied Powers over the Russian despot. On the following day (Monday) the bells of St. John's church sent forth merry peals throughout the day, and a salute of twenty-one guns was fired from the Pier-head, the shipping being also de corated with flaunting colours, &c. Fresh rejoicings again took place on Tuesday, on receipt of additional intelli gence, and somewhat more satisfactory accounts, of the fall of Sebastopol. The band of the Royal Glamorganshire Militia played in front of the Guildhall, where large pla cards, containing a summary account of the days news, were posted up. The crowds of persons assembled in-front of the hall gave three hearty cheers for the success of the Allies, the band playing- " See the Conquering Hero Comes," and appended the " National Anthem." A sub scription to defray the expenses of bell-ringing, &c., was set on foot, and the most national spirit has taken hold of all classes in the ancient and loyal town of Cardiff. DUBLIN. This city was in a state of excitement all day on Mon day, in consequence of the receipt of telegraphic messages from London, announcing the capture of Sebastopol on the 25th ult. Although ni.t implicitly believed, the intel ligence caused great delight amongst all classes; and in the evening, when a later telegraphic despatch came to hand, throwing some doubts on the victory, there was a very general expression of regret. However, the fall of the great Russian stronghold in the Crimea is here looked upon almost as a matter of certainty, although the event might be delayed a little. THE MOORS AND FORESTS.—The reports this year from the grouse moors are excessively scanty. The fact is that, instead of sport, the grouse shooting is be coming a task.- The birds have got so very wild that it is more a business of grouse stalking thau grouse shootiogo.rikatemot. The generous co.operation of the West has avenged by a single blow two centuries of humiliation. France and - Eugland have deserved well of history and civilised Europe. We confess that it is not without profound emotion that we enregister this magnificent result. It must now be admitted that force alone does not govern the world. There are above blind ambitions, above selfish calculations, above barbarism, in whatever form it may present itself, a domi nating right, a sovereign Providence who strikes down the strongest and humbles the haughtiest. This man, who has weighed on Europe for 25 years, who suppressed nations' bye dash Grins pea,_nrho traded - in a4vassee to thoenort.h end the south the plan of his invading march—this man, in a single year, has been stripped of all prestige, all gran deur, all force ; an assault has sufficed to wrest from him his most formidable fortress and his most precious con quest. What have become of his fleets, his innumerable posts, his phantasmagoria of soldiers, cannon, and savage horsemen, who only recently menaced Europe with a su preme invasion ? The Danube has seen large armies kept in check before places of the fourth rank, like Kalafat and -Silistria. Wallachia and the Dobrudscha contain only the tombs of their pretended conquerors. Turkish patriotism has not left them either the pride of a victory or the conso lation of a triumph, or even the hope of a return. The vessels which destroyed Sinope will pass along the Bospho rus, with their flags below ours, towed by our steamers, and amid the applause of the two continents. This fleet, so redoubtable, which took 150 years to form, will soon be in our ports disarmed and subjected to a glorious trophy of our courage, a colossal monument of the fall of Russia. What could one add to the eloquence of this statement ? The capture of Sebastopol is at once the most extraordinary warlike exploit, and the most fecund in results of our his tory. It casts down the illusions as to Russian power, strikes the Czarto theheart, wrests from him the Black Sea, throws him a hundred years behind, and consolidates, at the gates of the East, anew Ottoman empire with glorious prospects. All France will thrill with pride at this happy news ! The epoch in which such things can be inscribed in her golden book is a great one, and it will be a great glory for the second empire to have thus conducted the sacred war of European right against Muscovite barbarism. (From the Journal des Debats.) The capture of Sebastopol, with the fleet and all the war materiel, which would be a result really prodigious by its rapidity, is only thus far announced to us by private tele graph. We had hoped during all the day to hear the thundering of cannon, announcing officially this great ♦ic tory, but the cannon was silent. We must therefore wait before accepting the news as officially certain. We take pleasure in believing, however, that it is correct—calling to mind that the first news of the disembarkation in the Crimea was also given by the private telegraph. We will, however, examine the probabilities of this-great fact by the discussion of dates and places. On the 20th of Sept. the allied army met the Russian army, 50,000 strong, on the banks of the Alma. The Russian forces were driven back at the point of the bayonet, and vigorously pursued. It appears that the enthusiasm and the ardour of the allied troops gave them an irresistible impetiosity, which struck the Russian soldiers with stupor, and broke down the tenacity which has heretofore characterised them on the field of battle. After this victory the combined army must probably have found itself, en the 22d, before the forts which protect the northern shore of the roadstead, in face of the town of Sebastopol, situated on the opposite coast. To appre ciate the time which the operations against these forts must have - taken, we 'trust first of all deduct at least four days be t wean the date of the 22d and that of the 30th, for the conveyance of the news by sea and by land from Sebastopol to Cronstadt, in Transylvania, or to Belgrade in Servia— points at which the electric line commences, which line is continued without interrnption by Vienna to Paris. These four days for the transmission of despatches being deducted, we arrive at the conclusion that the surrender of Sebas topol took place on the 25th, and that the army, arrived on the 22d, obtained this immense result in three days. There is, however, something incomprehensible in that. The forts which had to be taken, although much less formidable on the land side than towards the sea, must have been constructed with sufficient solidity to require a siege, as Bomarsund did, which was also attacked on the land side. At Bomarsund it was necessary to disembark the siege artillery. Now, we do net think that our armies of Sebastopol could in so short a time disembark their heavy artillery—an operation which is always long and laborious. Even if they could at the beginning have employed some heavy pieces, it appears perfectly extra ordinary that they had the time in three days to dig the necessary intrenchments, to construct batteries, and lastly to reduce the citadel on the north and the four great forts which protect the northern shore of the roadstead. Nevertheless, we desire to believe the reality of a fact which is announced from so many different sources. We are only now endeavouring to explain to ourselves the un hoped-for promptitude of this magnificent result. In the opinion,.ouly one hypothesig can explain it ; that of a pro found discouragement having seized the Russian soldiers after their defeat on the Alma and some reverse not less sanguinary which they had to sustain on the Belbek, or in some other position in the environs of Sebastopol. A very remarkable circumstance mentioned in the despatches gives some reason to be'ieve in this demoralisation of the Russian soldiers ; it is that they preferred to remain pri soners of war to accepting the ft en sortie offered them. We can scarcely think that the Russian generals and officers were stricken with the same panic and the same demorali sation; and we must therefore suppose that they were not masters of their men. Perhaps it was the same as at Bo marsund, where a part of the garrison seems to have con sidered as a sort of deliverance the capitulation which General Bodisco was constrained to sign without waiting for an assault. Without the moral depression, and, per haps, without the discontent which, no doubt, troubled the minds of the garrison of Sebastopol, not only would tun Russian generals have prolonged the defence, but at the moment at which they would have been forced to yield, have burnt their fleet and their storehouses, their arsenals, and even the town, as it is asserted they had orders to do. Such are the appreciations which we have thought right to make of the despatches of the private telegraph. We now wait with all Paris until the cannon shall announce to us the confirmation of this great exploit, the rapidity and the perfectly extraordinary circumstances of which cannot fail to exercise au immense influence on the future." HOP INTELLIGENCE. Picking throughout Kent is nearly finished, and we ' regret tube compelltd to' announce the general defici ency of the crops. In Sussex, also, in a considerable number of grounds, picking is already finished, with the same result, and indifferent in quality. In the immediate vicinity of Maidstone the average yield is said to be be tween 4 and 5 cwt. per acre—some two or three miles distant, it will not exceed 1i cwt. The total yield on the Canterbury grounds will be quite a third less than what was anticipated a few weeks since—about 1i cwt. per acre being the supposed average. The parish of Goudourst, having 700 acres in cultivation, will not ex ceed cwt. per acre—one planter, off eight acres, get ting only from two to three bushels. Craubrook, which has been considered a favoured district, is not expected to realise 3 cwt. per acre. 231. 10s. has been offeredfor some Gelding's grown there, and though a large sum, from the supply and demand, there is no doubt of its being even exceeded, as every first-rate quality hop grown this year will be required for particular descry tam of beer. The grounds in the neighbourhood of Ton bridge, Tunbridge \Veils, Penshurst, and Frant will not average 1 cwt. The duty is now set at 45,0001. ; but if cet correctly a month ago, it is very much too high now. From the accounts received, we believe it cannot be more than from 35,000/. to 40,0001 —Kentish, Gazette. MOONLIGHT IN THI4 SANDWICH ISLANDS.-If Italy can boast her sunny skies just before the approach of the evening twilight, when the eye rests on a thousand tints of splendour, the Sandwich islands can boast a flood of moonlight at once glorious and matchless. Shortly after reaching Lihue, I tried an experiment in reading by the light of the moon. I found it perfectly easy, and read several pages of Milton's " Paradise Lost." Before the hour of rest that night I witnessed the rare phenomenon of a lunar rainbow. A shower of rain fell on the ocean immediately in front of the estate, and the beautiful iris caused by it stretched from one side of the horizon to the other. These lunar rainbows may be attributed mainly toy two causes—thekreat brilliancy of the, moon in this region and the highly rarefied 'tato of the atm°. FA,ter4 24 o7/044ii Mira NOM% PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 3. The borough bench of magistrates met again at nine o'clock. this morning to proceed with the inquiry into the circumstances attending the death of Matilda Jane Lodge, and for w/ - ..0,e death Lieutenant Frederick Knight, R.N., of the .Dauntless, and Lieutenant John Bustead Seymour, R.N., of the Colossus, are charged with manslaughter. Te-day Mr. Parry, the barri-ter, of London, attended ~ ,pecially for Li e ut enan t K n i g ht, an d M r . H os ki ns , o f Gosport, for Lieutenant Seymour. Mr. Ford again ap peared for the prosecution. Emma Frampton, wife of a marine belonging to the Dauntless, produced a sleeve that her hUsband had brought from his ship and given to her. This was the sleeve that had been identified as part of deceased's dress. It would not fall off if properly fastened. Samuel Moore, captain of the forecastle on board the Dauntless—l remember Sunday night, the 17th ult. I know a ii an named Martin brought on board our ship yesterday. On the above night I was, on watch on the quarter deck on the Victorious Hulk. Two women came on hoard with Lieutenant Knight. When first I. saw them they were on the quarter deck. They then: went down the ladder towards the gun-room door. De-i ceased went into the gun-room, and the other girl came on deck again. This was at half-pa 4 10. ' Lieutenant . Knight came upon deck after (Emma White) apd spoke, to her, and they went below together. I afterwards saw, the women sitting in chairs in the gun-room. This was at 12 o'clock. I had not seen them between half-past 10 and 12. I was then relieved by a man named Ching. I cannot . say who were the officers who were in the gun room when I saw the women there. I cannot say whether Knight or any other officer was there. I did not hear any noise on board the ship after I turned into my hammock.` • Orelesixamined—Whilet the girls were mem I heard one of them singing. The girls appeared in. good humour, and the one who was singing appeared drunk. Jith Jackson, marine on board the Dauntless, was on board the Victorious hulk, on the Sunday night in ques tion. I saw Mr. Knight in the gun-room, lying on the table. He was sober, as far as I could perceive. This was after Mr. Seymour had gone on deck and left the ship. I can't say whether Mr. Knight was asleep or awake. I did not see Mr. Woodman in the gun-room. r did not see any one in his nightdress. I did not see any dancing on board during my watch. Wiiliam Steadman, Esq., surgeon, living at Havant —I was present at the coroner's inquest on deceased's' body. I examined the uterus and bladder. There was a longitudinal rupture of the latter. I noticed. a patch of discoloration in the inside of the bladder, and to the right of the rupture. This discoloration might have resulted from violence. I pointed out the mark to the medical men, and asked them how they could account for it. Mr. Carter and Mr. Gray said the discoloration, had come on after death. If this was so, the discolor t tion would be the result of decomposition, and if so, it' might still remain. There were no signs whatever of any prior disease of the bladder. By Mr. Parry—lt would be exceedingly difficult to predicate anything from this discoloration. I agree that it might have been caused by decomposition as well as by a fall or blow. By Mr. Parry—Whether it was myself, or the last witness, or both, I am sure that some portion of her dress was torn in lifting her from the bed. The Mayor—Did you see the other man tear any part of the dress ? Witness—No, I did not see him tear the dress ; but I saw it was torn. The Mayor—Then the tears might have been done before you went to deceased ? Witness—Yes. I heard deceased scream once or twice as we were carrying her to the boat. George Carr—l was steward of the Dauntless on Sunday, the 17th ultimo. I remember two women beirig brought on board the hulk by Mr. Knight. I was in my berth during the night. The witness here asked the solicitor for the defence who it was he was being examined by. He was informed that it was Mr. Ford, the solicitor lit the prosecution. The Mayor inquired of the witness what object he had in making such an inquiry. He was required there to speak the truth, and it was of no consequence to him who put the questions to him. It was duty to speak the truth, and he ought not to consider woo it was that endeavoured to elicit the truth. He (the Mayor) would ask the witness if he had any particular reason for making the inquiry. WitnesS—l only wanted to know who it was that was questioning me. The Mayor repeated that he had nothing to do with such a matter. He had to t-pt-ak the truth, and that was ail that was wanted from him Examination resumel—During the night I heard of something falling, as it proved to be. I also heard a noise of screaming and screeching. I was then in n:y own berth. There ;,ie two or three cabins between Mr Knight's and aly cabal. When I first heard the screech ing it was about half-past one. I had not then turned in. The second screeching I was asleep and awoke by it. On the first screeching I went into Mr. Knight's cabin, and found deceased on the floor. Mr. Knight was asleep on the mess-room table, and I awoke him, and asked him to assist rue in placing deceased on the bed. He did so. lam sire that Mr. Knight did not drink more than two glasses of wine during this time. The bench now, it being half-past one, adjourned till four o'clock this afternoon. At 4 o'clock the examination of the witness Carr was resumed, attd he cletaiied the removal of deceased from the cabin to the boat. Occasionally as she was being re• moved, she gave a screech. Her dress was open in front and I was present when the doctor ordered it to be opened. I cannot remember whether it was Dr. Heath or Dr. Roche who ordered it to be opened. Mr. Knight opened it in his cabin. I was present, as also one of the ductori. This was very soon after shefainted. lam not aware that any portion of her dress was removed at that time. I remernba. Superintendent Harvey coming on board. I did not give him anything, but I told him that there were some in Lieutenant Knight's cabin. I re member deceased having a chain round her neck as she lay on the deck. I took it from her neck and placed it by her side. I was not at the inquest. I have seen Emma White sincethe inaue,t. I called upon her at her house to tell her of the inquest. There was nothing in the bonnet that I am aware of when I took it down to the boat. Cross-examined by Mr. Parry—The table in the gun-room id a long table, at which the officers mess. Lieutenant Jervis's cabin is next to Mr. Knight's. The bulkheads of the cabins are merely thin wooden partitions separating one cabin from another. The wood is about half an inch thick. If any noise had Qccurred in Mr. Knight's cabin it must have been heard by Lieutenant Jervis. Up to the time the girls were singing they appeared merry and to be enjoying themselves. When I saw deceased on the ,fleor of the gun-room Dr. Heath was feeling her pulse. Mr. Knight and other officers were present, and they all seemed to be paying her the greatest attention. I made up a bed on the mess table with a great coat and other things for Mr. Knight, because the deceased was occupying his bed. When I saw her after she had fallen from the bed for the first time, she appeared quite in sensible. At this time there was a three-cornered wooden box, which it. appeared to me the women had drawn from under the bed to sit upon, their being only one chair in the cabin. Mr. Harvey, the superinten• dent of police, measured this box, and the width of the cabin. Mr. Harvey made a most searching inquiry, and received every information. I pointed out myself the position of the box, and of the water jug, and how de• ceased must have fallen out of the bed. 'When I saw her, after she first fell, her head was near to the water jug. Mr. Knight gave Mr. Harvey every possible in formation. On her first fall, her head was very near the door. I cannot say whether it struck against the door or not. On the second time I was roused between 3 and f o'clock in the morning, and she had then fallen again. It then and throughout appeared to me that de ceased was in a state of beastly intoxication. (Disap probation-from the gallery.) Mr. Parry—You mean great intoxication. Witness—Yes. The officers in lifting her to the bed used the greatest care towards her. Mr. Knight, when he told me to have her removed, told me he would pay any sum to get her safely away. Mr. Knight was sober, but at times excited at the woman screeching, and knowing it • was not a proper place for her to be, and also that the chaplain had complained of it. The Dauntless had come home front the Baltic. I was not then on board her. I was on board Admiral Corry's ship the Neptune. To my knowledge not an officer or man the whole time the woman was on board ill-treated her ; not one lifted his hand in anger or pleasure. I did not see any quarrel between any officer, and if any one had 111-treated het, or any officers had quarrelled, I must have known it. The Rev. Stephen Jacobs, chaplain to the Dauntless —Was on board on Sunday night, the 17th of Sept.,en when Mr. Knight came on board.

I did not see any one in the gun-room when I went to ruy cabin at two o'clock. I saw no one lying on the table. William Sylvester Roche, assistant -surgeon of the Dauntless, deposed to Mr. Knight bringing two women on board at half-past ten on Sunday night, the 17th of September. He corroborated the fact of the decanter of wine b e i ng passed into the women after they had gone into Mr. Knight's cabin. Brandy was then passed in, after which one of the girls &me out in the ward-ilbom, Mr. Knight having gone in and out several times. After the girl had come in the gun-room, Mr. Woodman came to his cabin door in hie night dress. He afterwards danced round the room. She afterwards laughed and talked with the Nag suireevitatly town WO, isi lewd back in her chair. She did actually faint. As she leaned back in her chair she screamed once or twice. -Mr. Seymour said she was in the habit of going into hysterics. We laid her quietly on the floor of the gun room, and bathed her temples. Whilst she was in this, 55"',, some discussion took place among the gentlemen e gun-room as to what should be done with her. It was determined to place her in Mr. Knight's bed. I was in the gun-room until half-past two ; the ether girl had gone out before this. I had seen her three or four times up to this time, and each time she was sleep. ing quietly and breathing heavily. After deceased eras put on the bed I heard no screams from her, and no groans. At half-past two I turned into my cabin. Mr. Knight, during the whole of this period, was in and out of the cabin and gun-room. When I turned in he was sitting on the end of the mess table. Ido not know of anything that occurred after I went to my cabin. Edward Heath, Esq., surgeon of the Dauntless—l was in the gun-room when deceased fainted. With the aid of Mr. Roche and other officers we lowered her on the deck, after which she was removed into Mr. Knight's cabin. I occasionally afterwards went into the cabin to see her up to about half-past 1. I rhortly afterwards w e nt to my cabin, and betvieen 3 and half-past I thought I heard a scream, but not being sure of it 1 did not ge t up. There is one cabin, Mr. Jervis s, between nun. and Mr. Knight's.

It is in the bounls of possibility that the bladder was rup tured before half-past one. I was in the Baltic witlt Mr. Knight in the Dauntless. He was nut at the ope rations at P,omareund. By Mr. Hoskins—Mr. Seymour was my guest on the night in question. It was the first time be and Mr. Knight were introduced to each other. Lieutenant Jocelyn Jervis White Jervis, R.N., be longing to the' Dauntless, deposed to having been awakened whilst in his cabin by hearing a noise: Wit ness went into the gun-room and there saw Lieutenant Knight lying on the table. I cannot say that he had any covering over him. I went into Mr. Knight's cabin, and, as there was no light, I got one, and then got some brandy and water and moistened her lips. She drank a little. I attempted, to awaken Mr. Knight. I did not succeed in doing so. I stood looking at - her for a few minutes. I saw no one else about the ship at this time. I got the brandy fr a o n m 4 bo t tle o r n e t f li d e e tt a b u l t e ers. . and w en t out aga i n di rec tl y t Kn hen igh we t n wr in o to n m th y e c ta ab b i l n e : into Mr. Knight's cabin. I remained in Mr. Knight's cabin this time half an hour. I occupied myself in read ing. There was nothing in the cabin in my wa y. The evidence of this witness was continued for a short time longer. It concluded the case for the prosecution, at half-past seven to-night. CITY COURT OF SEWERS. Yesterday the commissioner assembled numerously in the Guildhall ; Deputy Peacock in the chair. THE BLACEWALL RAILWAY NUISANCE. Mr. DAW, the chief clerk to the commission, said he had to inform the court that the filth and other rub bish of which complaint bad been made at the last meeting, as having been so excessively offensive, under the arches of the Blackwell Railway, had been removed. (Hear, hear.) He had also to state that he had received from the secretary to the Blackwell Railway Company a letter upon the subject, the counterpart of the letter which had appeared in the newspapers, and which, no doubt, the commissioners had seen. It gave him grati fication to assure the court that the order had been effectually complied with: Several complaints were made against the owners of shops in several districts, who, after the usual hour of sweeping the streets on Sunday nights, flung the rubbish and dirt accumulated in their premises into the streets, thus in a great measure frustrating the labours of the scavengers. CHOLERA IN THE CITY. The MEDICAL OFFICER of HEALTH said, in reference to the inspectors returns for the past week, I beg to submit a list of places neglecting the orders of the court for their sanitary improvement in various means of cleanliness, having drainage, privy accommodation, and water supply. I am happy to apprise the court that the information I have received confirms in the strongest manner my belief in the decline of the epidemic, and leads'me to a very sanguine hope that the City will now continue free front any intense localisation of the fatal influence. (Hear, hear.) _ _ Attn. the transaction of a vast deal of business eon nected with the sanitary regulations of the City, this calla adjourned. MATIMPOLITAN COMMISSION OF SE WEBS. A special meeting of the metropolitan commissioners of sewers was held yesterday at their offices, in Greek street, Soho ; Mr. Jebb in the chair. The other com missionei a present were Colonel Dawson, Mr. T. Hawes, Mr. J. Hawkshaw, Mr. G. S. Smith, and Mr. L. Redhead. _ The SeceErsei (Mr. Woolryeh) reported that the funds in hand amounted to 53,346/ , less cheques drawn 4,8671. ; leaving an available balance of 48,4791. The amount of deficit in funds was stated at 120.0001. In the case of complaint for the Poplar district, the CHAIRMAN stated that he had made inquiries into the su!ject, and he would recommend the commission to remit the rates levied upon the inhabitants on condition that they agree to cleanse the Poplar ditch. He be li4ved the inhabitants bad been accustomed t o have their rates remitted on that condition, and the law was not very dear on the sulject. He also stated that 181 cases of nuisance had been presented to the commission that day by their own officers, in addition to 240 pre sented last week—most of them having occurred in the line of new sewers. The court then proceeded to hear appeals. THE REGISTRATION COURTS. CITY OF LONDON. The revision of the list of voters for the City of Lon don was concluded yesterday, by Mr. T. Y. M'Christie, the revising barrister, in the Court of Queen's Bench, Guildhall. The result of the revision may be thus stated. On the part of the Conservative party there were no claims or objections lodged, nor did any appear in behalf of that party to watch the proceeding. There were 63 new claims made by the Liberal party, 35 of which were sus tained, and 23 of which failed, the failures, in most eases, being occasioned from the circumstance of the claimanis not appearing in support of their claims. These new claims were in addition to 50 other claims made by the parties who had been put upon the lists 'naccurately. There were also 511 objections made by the Liberal party, of which number 485 were sustained, and only 26 failed. TOWER HAMLETS. The revision of the list of voters for the borough of the Tower Hamlets took place yesterday, at the Court house, Weliclose-square, before John Fraser Macqueen, Esq., the revising barrister. There was not an objection lodged to a claimant on the list, and with the exception of St. Leonard's, Shore ditch, and St. Ann, Limehouse, there were no new claims lodged, and these were only occasioned by in accuracies in the published lists. EAST SURREY. On Tuesday Sir Bar'., held his court at the Town-hall, Reigate, for the revision of the lists of voters of 23 parishes in this polling district. Mr. G. R. Corner and Mr. W. C. Burt, solicitors, and Mr. T. Jeans, secretary of the East Surrey Reform Registration Society, attended for the Liberals, and made objections in the parish lists of Betchworth, Blechingly, Buchland, Burstow, Charlwood, Godstone, Honley, Limpsfielci, Lingfield, Merstbam, Nutfield, and the Foreign of Reigate ; but no objections were taken by the Tories, who, however, were represented by Mr. T. Hart and Mr. Edward Stenniiig. In the Betchworth list Mr. Thomas Burberry was ob jected to as being a Post•office keeper at Brochans-green. Mr. Burberry stated that he was appointed by the postmaster at Reigate, and not by the Postmaster- General, and that he had no appointment in writing. Mr. Hart contended that that fact showed that be was not a Government officer. The Revising Barrister said that as Mr. Barberry was employed in the collection of the revenue, he could 'act be entitled to vote, and it was only those entitled to vote who were entitled to be on the register. The vote was therefore disallowed, as also were 6 other objections to Pest-office -keepers, which had been made by the East Surrey Reform Registration Society. Twenty-nine objections were made by the reformers, and the results were-2 1 sustained, 1 withheld, and 7 failed. ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE.—At Hull, on Monday, Joseph May, a Waterman, 61 years of age, who has been living in London, apart from his wife, for a considerable length of time, went to a house in John's place, Edward's-place, Cogan-street, where his wife and daughter resided. He stated his intention of sleeping there, and no objection was made, but later on in the evening hie daughter saw him with a razor, which he secreted. She watched her opportunity and took the razor away. The man, however, seems to have been bent on the destruction of his wife, for about six o'clock yesterday morning he suddenly seized her in bed and attempted to cut her throat with an old rusty razor. She of f ered a desperate resistance, in the course of which she received no less than 14 wounds on various parts of her body. The neighbours, hearing a noise, went into the house, when the would-be murderer relinquished hie hold on his intended victim and drew the razor several times across his own throat; Not being sharp, the in• strement sawed the flesh instead of, cutting it. Never theless, the man sustained such injuries, and lost so much blood, that it was rendered absolutely necessary to remove bins to the infirmary, where, at present, the chances are against kis recovery. The poor wife lies at home, and from a certificate given to the police yesterday by Dr. Bell, her medical attend- ant, there is not the slightest chance of her reco very. The stipendiary magistrate will proceed at once to take the depositions of Mrs. May, in order that her inhuman husband—who is said to have bee n p rompted on Loudon, to the commission of this frightful deed by j ealous y — may not escape condign punishment. the AD Charlotte ELA p E. with a galerikl cargo, among which were 2,324 out% oi — Ja Tire s ad ail v ed ic o es n f t r h o e m is A t h d Adelaide Julyde mentionfor
