" 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.

M.D. Doctor ' BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, &meter of Medicine, Matriculated Member of tho University of Edin burgh, honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, lac., B cu. Thee.ssential object of this treatise is to point out the fearfal con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease k nown t o modern pathologists.: Its perusal 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 entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are Principles o f personal management 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 end its consequences 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. T he Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive Practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which are unfortun a t e l y teen too generally confided to the care of Ignorant empiries, who inflict greatinjury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

Kelly presiding. Major-General Wetherall appeared as prose cutor, Major Dalgetty officiated as Deputy Judge-Advo cate. The prisoner was attended, as usual, by Mr. Darvill, of Windsor, as his legal adviser. The anxiety of the public to obtain admission was greater than ever, and one lady, who was carried by the crowd into the court, was compelled, nolens volens, to remain near the prisoner's table during the whole of the proceedings. Lieutenant Nicholas Dunscombe was called, and examined on his former oath. Prosecutor—Have you never received ill-treatment at the hands of Captain Nicholas ? Witness—Never. Prosecutor—ls it within your knowledge that Captain Nicholas aids and abets others in annoying young officers, or that he has aided and abetted others in so doing ? Witness—lt is not. Prosecutor—What is the character of Captain Nicholas, as regards his treatment to young 9fficers on joining ? Witness—l always considered him very kind to young officers in general, on joining. Prisoner (in cross-examination)—Did you ever hear Captain Nicholas use opprobrious names for reporting? Witness—Never, to my recollection. Prisoner—Refresh your memory, and say whether he has not done so to yourself. Witness—With all due respect to the Court, I beg to state that I have answered that question before. Prisoner—l beg that it may be answered again more specifically. Several members of the Court remarked that the witness was bound to give some sort of answer to the question. The President—But we cannot put words into his mouth. Witness—l beg to give the same answer as before— " Never, to my recollection." Prisoner—Will you undertake to state that Captain Nicholas, the day after you had sent an official report to the general of the district, did not, in my presence, call you "a d son of a b—," and "a b--," for reporting? Witness—l never heard Captain Nicholas make use of such expressions. Prisoner—Did you not, after parade that day, come to mo in my own room and say, "They may call mo what names they like, I do not care;" and was not that in re ference to the previous question I asked you ? Witness—l may have gone to your room, but I never re member anything of the sort. Prisoner—Did not many of the officers cut you for re porting to the general of the district? Witness—A few of the officers were cool to me for a few days, but I did not report to the general of the district. Prisoner (to the Colonel)—When you were pulled out of bed by your cousin, Captain Webb—who was present? Witness—lt is such a long time ago that I cannot bring it to my recollection. Prisoner—Will you undertake to state that Captain Nicholas was not present? Witness—l do not remember that he was. . Prisoner—State the date, as near as you can recollect, when you were pulled out of bed by Captain Webb, and the date when you came to my room after parade? Witness—l think the former circumstance took place in the month of June, 1853; as to the latter, as I do rot re collect having gono to your room, I cannot remember the date. Prisoner—What date was it when you sent in an official letter, threatening to appeal to the general of the district? Witness—As near as I can recollect, it was the month of October, 1853. Prisoner—Did any officer ever state to you, or in your presence, that he would be revenged for indignities heaped upon him by Captain Nicholas ? Witness—Never, to myrecollection. Prisoner—Will you undertake to state, most positively, that Ensign Stretton, who has sinceleft the 96th Regiment, did not often say so ? Witness—l never heard Ensign Stretton say so to mo,nor to any ono in my presence. Prisoner—Row long is it since Ensign Stretton left the 46th ? Wi tn ess —I cannot say. By the Court—Who is Captain Webb ? Did ho then be long to the 46th? Witness—Re is a captain in the 4th Dragoon Guards. He did not belong to the 46th. By the Court—When you wrote the letter to Colonel Garrett, threatening to complain to tho general of the dis trict, did you complain of the conduct of any officers in particular ? Witness—l did. By the Court—Who were they ? Witness-4 complained of Lieutenants Greer and Knapp, There were four officers of w hom I complained, b u t I can . not recollect the other two. By the Court —Was or was not Captain Nicholas one of those officers ? Witness—Ha was not. By the Court —Was or was not Lieutenant Perry on e of them ? Witness —Ho was not.

The number of Militia reziments now out embodied and doing garrison duty is 14 ; these will in due time be relieved by others hereafter to be embodied for perma nent duty. The fast Kent Militia, Lieutenant-Colonel Brockman, arrived at New-cross on Friday morning from Chiches ter, and marched into the garrison at Woolwich, to do duty in the room of the Lancashire Militia, removed to Portsmouth. The East Kent appear a fine body of men. The West Essex Yeomanry Cavalry, Major Pulman, commander, were inspected yesterday at Chelmsford by Colonel Griffiths, who warmly commended the skill and proficiency of the corps. DEATH OF MAJOR-GENERAL H. R. HARTLEY. Died, on the 7th August, Major-General Humphrey Robert Hartley, born 24th August, 1794. He was educated at the Royal Military College of Marlow, Bucks, where he obtained the highest honour as under officer, and entered his Majesty's service as ensign by purchase in the 57th Regiment of Foot, which he joined on the Bth October, 1812, at Brighton, and whilst there made a special application to Colonel Spring, soliciting permission to join a detachment then on the eve of embarkation for Spain. He proceeded thither, joining the 57th at head-quarters of Major-General Byng's brigade on the Pyrenees in 1813. He became lieutenant by purchase, and was present when the British force entered France, on the night of the 9th November, 1813, and on the following day was hotly engaged with the enemy ; and continued to do duty with the second division till the termination of hos tilities at Toulouse, and upon the ratification of the treaty of peace was ordered to C ana d a. During his passage the transport in which the 57th was embarked sustained and repulsed for two days successive attacks by an American privateer. Returning home in 1815 he was despatched with his regiment to Belgium, en route to Paris, to do duty with the army of occupation till 1818. From this date till 1824 he served in Ireland, and in that year was sent to Van Diemen's Land and New South Wales. Whilst on this latter station he was appointed, being senior cap tain, to relieve Major Campbell as commandant of Mel ville Island, a tropical and most unhealthy climate, which settlement was upon his representations abolished. He returned to England 12th July, 1831, having at tained his lieutenant-colonelcy as well as the two junior ranks by purchase. Having thus obtained the command of the regiment that he entered as ensign, he proceeded to Madras in 1832, and there introduced into the 57th Regiment, on the 6th of November, 1832, the first savings bank in the British army, since established throughout the united service. •He likewise introduced libraries for the non-commissioned officers. From ex treme bodily prostration, in consequence of climate and arduous duties, he obtained special leave of absence, and upon convalescence effected an e xc h ange i n the 89th Regiment, but continued unattached. Major-General H. R. Hartley married on the 3d of May, 1832, Miss Montague, daughter of Admiral Robt. Montague, of the red squadron, and the great grand daughter of Sir Godfrey Copley, of Sprottesburghe and Nether Hall, York. -I'Y [PRICE SD. By the Court—Why was Lieutenant Perry unpopular with his brother officers ? Witness—l cannot undertake to say. Prisoner (through the Court)—ls not Mr. Knapp in Turkey, and Mr. Greer under arrest? Witness —Mr. Knapp is in Turkey, and Mr. Greer is under arrest. Prisoner—Will you explain why your memory is so vivid as to these two parties, and so oblivious as to the others who were present? Witness—The very circumstances that ono is in Turkey, and the other under arrest, served to impress their names on my ...memory. Lieutenant George Frederick Dallas was then sworn, and the charges read over to him. Prosecutor—Ho w long have you been in the 4Gth Regi ment ? Witness —A little over nine years. Prosecutor--Have you ever received ill-t rea t ment at the hands of Captain Nicholas? Witness—Never. Prosecutor—ls it within your knowledge that Captain Nicholas aids and abets others in ill-treating young officers, or that Captain Nicholas ever did aid and abet others in so doing ? Witness—lt is not within my knowledge that he ever did so ; I never heard it stated that he did so. Prosecutor—What is the character of Captain Nicholas in the regiment as regards his treatment of young officers on joining? Witness—From my knowledge of Captain Nicholas, I should say nothing could exceed his kindness and courtesy to all his brother officers, young officers and all. By the Court—Was Lieutenant Perry unpopular with his brother officers ; and why ? Witness—l have not seen much of Lieutenant Perry, having generally been in other quarters. I should say he was unpopular in the regiment, I conclude from his offen sive forward manners partly, and from the bad character I have heard of him in the regiment. I don't know why he was unpopular in the regiment ; I only heard so. The President—" Heard so ;" that will not do. Witness —l've only been quartered with Lieutenant Perry for three or four months ; I've seen very little of him. Prisoner—Let the witness state all he knows. There is no doubt as to my unpopularity in the regiment. The President—He can tell us nothing of his own knowledge. By the Court (for the prisoner)—Have you ever been made the subject of practical jokes? Witness—To the best of my recollection, never. Prisoner—Were you ever engaged in a practical joke against myself? Witness—To the best of my recollection, never. Prisoner —Was it not yourself who asked me to go out one evening, telling me to dress for that purpose, and, when I had done so, I found my hat all broken ? Witness—Possibly it was. Ido not recollect. Major-General Wetherall here announced that he had received a letter from Colonel Garrett that 30 men and a subaltern would have to march immediately for embarka tion in the Harbinger, and that Lieutenant Dallas was the officer appointed to go out with them. Before Lieutenant Dallas embarked, he (Major-General Wetherall) wished to know whether the prisoner would require the evidence of Lieutenant Dallas for his defence. Lieutenant Perry—No, I shall not. I have one or two questions to ask. Prisoner—Were you not one of the party at the Linen hall Barracks, Dublin, who broke open my door, and made me get into my tub ? Witness—l was not. Prisoner—Have I never kindly volunteered to take duty from you when nobody else would, as you wished to go away ? Witness —I daresay you have. Lieutenant Forde was then sworn—The charges having been first read over to him, Prosecutor —How long have you been in the 46th Regi ment ? Witness—One year and eight months. Prosecutor —Piave you ever received ill-treatment at the hands of Captain Nicholas ? Witness—l have never. Prosecutor—ls it within your knowledge that Captain Nicholas aids and abets others in annoying young officers or that he has aided and abetted others in so doing ? Witness—l never knew him to annoy any officer since I have been in the regiment, or to aid and abet others in so doing. Prosecutor—What is the character of Captain Nicholas, as regards his treatment of young officers? Witness—l consider him kind and good-natured, espe cially to young officers on joining. If I may be allowed to mention my own case, I received from him, if possible, on joining the 46th, more kindness and good nature than from any of the other officers. Prisoner—Were you ever the subject of practical jokes ; if so, of what nature were they, how many, and who were present? Witness—l never was, thatf can call to my recollection ; in fact, I may say that I never was. Prisoner—When you were pulled out of bed, at the Linen-hall Barracks, Dublin, by Ensign Castles, of the lith Regiment, how many of our officers were present, and what did you do?? Witness—l never was pulled out of my bed by Ensign Rnjden Castles and an about 4 o'clock in the morning. I think Ensign Castles annoyed me. I got out of my bed and turned him out of the room. Prisoner—What did Ensign Castles do, and who else was present ? Witness—lie apologised to me, after annoying me. Prisoner—The nature of the annoyance— Tho President—l thought so. Witness—He went on talking for some time, and then ho attempted to pull off the bedclothes. As soon as ho did so, I turned him out of the room. The other officer present was Lieut. Greer. Prisoner -Were not Curtis, Greer, and Payne, of the 46th, in your room ? Did not Castles pull the clothes off your bed, catch hold of your arm, and attempt to pull you out of your bed ? Did you not thrust and kick him out of your room, much to the amusement of the officers of the 46th ? Witness—l have already stated that there was only one officer of the 46th present, and that was Lieutenant Greer. On his attempting to lay hold of the bedclothes, I caught him and thrust him out of the room. Prisoner—Did not this occurrence take place the first night I joined ? Witness—lt may have. I have not the slightest recol lection of the fact. Prisoner—Are you not aware that, as it was the first night I joined, I was taken up into your room by the officers I have named? Was not that the first time you ever saw me ? Witness—l have no recollection of having seen Lieut. Perry, on that night, in my room. Prisoner—To refresh your memory, may I ask you if it is not a fact that you did not dine at mess that night ? Witness—l cannot say whether I did or did not dine at mess that night. It is upwards of a year ago, and I can't recollect whether I did or did. not. Lieutenant Curtis was then called, and examined on his former oath, the charges being first read over to him. Prosecutor—How long have you been in the 46th Regi ment? Witness—Nearly four years. Prosecutor—Have you ever received ill-treatment at the hands of Captain Nicholas ? Witness—Never ; on the contrary, great kindness. Prosecutor—ls it within your knowledge that Captain Nicholas aids and abets others in annoying young officers, or that he has aided and abetted others in so doing? Witness—l never knew a single instance of such a thing. Prosecutor—What is the character of Captain Nicholas as regards his treatment of young officers? Witness—He is very kind to all young officers. He was especially so to myself. Prisoner—ls your recollection so clear that you can speak with accuracy as to all the questions just asked of you, when, on Friday last, you stated that the meeting of officers bad been held, for auditing the mess accounts, when it afterwards transpired that the meeting was held for a far different purpose ? Witness—l totally forgot, when giving my evidence on Friday, that such a meeting had been held. Prisoner—Do you recollect the first night I joined, Forde's door being broken open, and he taken from his bed ? Witness—l do not. Prisoner—Will you state positively that Ensign Castles, of the 17th Regiment, then on detachment with the 46th, at the Linen-hall barracks in Dublin, did not go into Forde's room for the purpose of "drawing him ?" Witness—Ensign Castles did go into Lieutenant Forde's room, but Lieutenant Forde was not taken from his bed. Prisoner—What did take place, then, on that occasion Witness—Forde got out of bed, an d seeing an officer saidofofficeei another regiment in his room , th rust him out.

By the Court.—Was Lieutenant Perry taken np to Mr. Forde's room that night ? Witness—He was not, to the best of my recollection. By the Court—On the occasion mentioned in your for mer examination, on Friday, when you went to Lieut. Perry's room, you say you addressed him as " Old fellow." Do you consider that is an expression which one officer would make to another whose society he intended to shun 9 Witness—This question arises in a mistake ; it was Mr. Perry who came to my room. Prisoner—lt is a mistake, sir ;it was I who went to Mr. Curtis's room. The President—lt is so stated in the report. Witness—The circumstance occurred in my room. For certain reasons Lieut. Perry and myself had not been on speaking terms for some months. At the time the order came for the regiment to leave Dublin for Kilkenny and outquarters, Lieut. Pe rr y requested an officer in the regi ment to come tome and say that he wished to speak to me. e p a e r r l ry y a i s n l m c y a n ro r o e m co 2 l , le m ct, r. e l rr s y h shall be ( I\l l e y l ig a h n t s e w d er to w s a e s e , M as i. n . and said he was very sorry there had been any misunder standing between us two; and hoped, as the regiment was so soon to leave Dublin and he was going on detachment, that I would make it up with him. I said, I believe, these words to him, " Mr. Perry, I have no ill-feeliug towards you. I'll willingly shake hands." I might have applied the term " old fellow" at the time. Prisoner—l am much obliged to the Court for eliciting this character for me. The Court now adjourned for ten minutes. On the re assembling of the members, Lieut. Llewellyn was sworn, the charges being first read over to Lim. Prosecutor—How long have you been in the 46th Regi ment ? Witness—Since the 14th of December, 1849.

Those old pensioners, "John Doe and Richard Roe," it is ex pected, will be called out to do duty once more, and head this new northern enterprise. A mail for the Baltic fleet will be made up and for warded through Belgium to Dantzic this evening.

The undernamed officers at Chatham Garrison have obtained leave of absence :—Lieutenant Richard L. Warrand, and Lieutenant Richard L. Craster, 35th, until their embarkation for Calcutta ; Captain W. Henry Kirby, 94th, until the 30th inst. ; and Ensign John Murray until the 14th inst. Lieut.-General Fleming has resumed the command of the Limerick district. Lieut.-Colonel Douglas, district adjutant-general at Limerick, is likely to succeed Major General Eden as deputy adjutant -general in Dublin. Ensign the Hon.

The now Hussar and heavy uniforms are under consideration. Mr. Rogers, of Covent-garden, is the designer of the Lancers' new uniform ; there are numerous competitors in the field for the others. THE AMBULANCE CORPS. Several of the men intended for this corps left London yesterday for the East. The corps is to be under the command of a Captain Grant, and the uniform is to be grey. The duty will be to pick up stragglers, the wounded, &c. The pay is to be two guineas per we e k, with rations - fine pay certainly for quondam p o li cemen, more than a poor lieutenant receives. ROYAL ARTILLERY. One hundred ma of the Royal Artillery proceldeci . - WEEK DAYS. Time DUPLICITY OF AUSTRIA To the careful watcher symptoms begin to be apparent that Austria is found to be in the way in the, solution of the Eastern question. We need not remind our readers that in our view AUstria has been terribly in the way, from first to last, of our great enterprise ; and our opinion is well known— that, to prevent Austria being in the way, the easiest and shortest method would have been to go about our proper business in the most direct and peremptory manner—certain that she would thus, and thus only, be induced or compelled to commit herself to some distinct course of proceeding. But the dynasties wanted Austria to'help them to settle the war on dynastic principles, and they secured her countenance for their proceedings. Now, how ever, a new feature in the case seems to be in course of disclosure. It may be gathered from various in dications that both diplomatists and generals, Eng lish and French, aro becoming uneasy and disheart ened at the decline of their influence, and the growth of that of Austria, at Constantinople. We do not see how any one can wonder at this. In a case where everybody promises, and nobody achieves, the party 1 that promises most will be the preferred one, If the French and English had beaten the Russians at the beginning of th e summer , th e S u lt an wou ld no t have ben tempted to turn from them to listen to the wily old Metternich and the martial young Francis. Our conduct has been a direct invitation to Austria to bid for the confidence of the Porte ; and we have won no right to complain if the Porte closes with the offer. The immediate importance of Austria to Turkey is made obvious by the merest glance at the map ' • and we are 'not entitled to wonder at th e Sultan and his Ministers for any degree of s t up id t rust i n Austria, after our ewn weakness of the same sort. If this be the state of affairs—if Austria be either interposing in the Principalities for the benefit of 1 the Czar ' or supplanting us at C ons t an ti nop l e f or her ow n benefit or that of despots in general—in either, of those cases, or in any other, our duty and policy are clear—to strike a blow in the Baltic. It will be very good to capture the Crimea, but that is not enough. We must do something real in the Baltic. Any attack upon the Aland Islands and Bomarsund must be regarded simply as preliminary steps. If we want to do our duty to ourselves, and to our allies, and to prevent Austria from cheating us, we must strike a heavy blow in the Baltic. Neither Austrian nor Turk can interfere with us there. There our ground is our own ; and there the war —or the first act of the great, complicated, pro tracted war which men are beginning to anticipate —may be brought to a close shortly, sharply, and decisively, as far as any connexion with Austria is concerned. All will probably go well in the Black Sea and on the Danube if we do our work well in the Baltic ; and it seems as if nothing decisive would be done in the East till we have fired the train at the North. If it is objected that the para lysing influence is the same in either sea, because it acts through our Cabinet at home, the answer is that we--the English people—will soon ascer / 1 tain that. If the watch that, in the absence of Parliament, the people will set upon the Cabinet, should yield evidence of our commanders in the Baltic being seriously restrained or hampered by orders from home, the next beaten party will be the Cabinet. We will have no Russian alliances at home under an Austrian name : and if there are difficulties with any body professing to re present the Turks, as our rulers profess to re present us, then the English and French in the Baltic, who have no trouble with each other, shall have fair play, and full liberty to show what they can do, if the strong will and hearty sym pathy of their respective nations can secure it for them. It seems that the duty, and the honour, and the privilege of keeping up the national principle and spirit to the great occasion of this war are now clearly devolved upon the people themselves, for the Go vernment influence works all the other way. At the beginning of the enterprise, nothing could be finer than the national purpose and spirit : and nothing can be finer than they would be now and always, if any justice were done to them by the Executive and the Legislature. To speak plainly—what we desire clear 1••• v this war is one-of fundamental principle on behalf of all nationalities. We should like to see our citizens calmly resolved to settle, once for all, by a resolute and sustained effort, the questions which will other wise plunge the nations in war from generation to generation, till a conflict, terrible in proportion to the delay, must be enacted and endured by all Europe. We believe that the choice between now and then will hardly be left to us ; for the symptoms of restlessness and tokens of changes at present arising from day to day cannot but afford broad hints of many things likely to happen soon. But, however this may be, it is clearly our duty and our wisdom to contemplate and prepare for the settlement of the whole case which is conti nuously arising. If we had fulfilled the national intention and expectation of last winter, we might pos ,ibly have concluded the immediate Russian war in a single campaign. As we have not done so, we must rise to the contemplation of a more extended action. We should like to see that we are all aware that we must make large and willing sacrifices in a cause so no b le as that of the eestab lishment of, nations in the true conditions of free dom and progress. Our officers and troops, our tars and our citizens at home, are devoted ; and we desire to see their devotion joyfully accepted. They do not grudge life and ease—they throw into the cause their toil and pain and sacrifice ; and we may not dare to decline the offering in such a cause. It is by fearlessness and cheerful daring that the English and French have won whatever they have at any time gained ; and thus only can they gain their Object now.

HOTEL KEEPERS IN DIFFICULTIES.—The Sala of Beer Bill prohibits the keeper of a tavern from supplying his liquors during the greater part of Sunday, " except as refreshment to a bona fide traveller, or a lodger therein." The Glasgow Chronicle states that the proprietor of the Wemyss Bay Hotel, by Greenock, having considerable diffi culty with respect to selling exciseable liquors in theprohi bited time to persons journeying along the road, forwarded to the Lord Chancellor a petition praying the House of Lords to take the opportunity of defining the expression, "boneifidetraveller," but has received foranswer from his lordship's secretary a communication stating "that there exists great difficulty in obtaining a clearer or better definition than what is implied in the words them selves I" In the act in force in New York, it seems that the term " boarder" is used ; and the New York Herald received by the last mail, after stating that notice had been given that the law for Sunday closing would be strictly enforced, adds, "In this city the liquor-sellers, with the exception of the hotels and the restaurants on the European plan, very generally complied with the notification.

The way is not closed to great and immediate ameliorations ; but as it has pleased the Author of the universe to make the food of mankind chiefly the product of labour, their clothing of skill, their intellectual enjoyments of education, their purest emotions of art—so health and the natural life time of the race are, in a certain sense, evidently to be the creation of the intellect and the will ; and it is only with the observation, experience, foresight, prudence, and decisions of generations of men at command, that the battle of life can be fought out victoriously t o th e e14c 1 ,--Cinvws Revort, SUNDAYS. 5 ,4g he fol. ~~~> ~~ TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—lt is reported and believed in this town that an officer in Lord Beaumont's Regiment of Militi a , and lately in the 46th Regiment of Foot, has, durin g th e s itti ng of the present court-martial on Lieutenant Perry, openly de clared that he was present when Lieutenant Perry com plained to Colonel Garrett, and that he heard him call Lieutenant Perry " a d—d fool for his pains." Lord Beaumont's regiment has been quartered in our barracks, and was only disbanded on Wednesday last, but there can be no difficulty on the part of the Commander in-Chief i n fi n di ng who this officer is, where he now is, and in Producing him before the court-martial. Should the Commander-in-Chief not do so, it is to be hoped that this o ffi cer w ill no t h es it a t e t o g i ve ev id en ce so essential to Lieutenant Perry. Leeds, Aug. 5. FIAT JUSTITIA.

Witness—l do not remember any instance of his having done so. Prisoner—May I refresh your memory by asking you if you recollect whether Knapp's and Waldey's bedclothes were not thrown out of the window into the barrack square, and who were present when that was done ? At this stage of the proc ee di ngs , a b out half-paat three o'clock, despatches arrived for Colonel Garrett and Major- General Wetherell. • Witness—l recollect Waldey's bedclothes being thrown into the barrack square.

Prisoner—Will yosi undertake to state that only yourself and Lieutenant Dallas were present when Waldey's bed clothes were thrown out, his bed taken to pieces, every thing i n the bed-roo m t osse d about, and, in Knapp's room, his bedclothes thrown out of the window boots filled with water, e v er ythi ng thrown about, and his bedstead taken to pi..ves; and is it possible that you and Lieutenant Dallas could have done all this unassisted? Witness—l think there were other officers in Waldey's room, but I forget who they were. I only remember my self being engaged in throwing the clothes out of the win dow. It being now 4 o'clock, the Court adjourned until to morrow (this day), when it is expected that the case for the prosecution will close. THE BRIBERY BILL. After all the aberrations and extravagances of this wearisome session, Parliament last night exhibited what may be be called a lucid interval, though unfortunately the insanity has been in the Lower House, the reason in the Upper. This phenomenon has occurred in the treatment by their lordships of the Bribery at Elections Bill, which has been very remarkable in many respects. As the bill emerged from the Lower House, notwith standing its title and the lofty pretensions of its pream ble, it was nothing more nor less than a bill for legalis ing the payment by the candidate of the travelling ex penses of electors, seeing that, in the absence of the proposed declaration, every clause was as nugatory as a watch without a mainspring, or a Chinese war steamer with a funnel and straw to do duty for an engine. This, then, was what their lordships had to consider —viz., whether they would make it lawful for candidates to pay whatever they pleased, or whatever public opinion would allow, for the travelling—that is, for the convey ance, feeding, and recreation of electors. It was rather a nice question for the Lords, who are commonly sup posed to have a vested interest in the lower appetites of the rabble, insomuch that there are people who main tain that if small freeholders and tenant-farmers were not thirsty in summer we should not have either House of Lords or Queen. In the Lower House seven Cabinet Ministers voted in favour of this clause, so that it might be expected that not only the instinctive love of corrup tion ascribed to the House of Lords, but also Ministe rial consistency, would secure the safety of the clause. Strange to say, it was last night quietly and almost unanimously extracted from the bill and sent to the winds. The House of Lords has come forward to protect the virtue of the Commons, and to secure that small electors, scattered about the country, away from tha polling-places, shall not have any extra induce merkt.t, ‘ 1 ,a1,51, cir 6r-a . IJUIXt ut Newcastle—in the face of his seven colleagues, who bad voted for it ; and all the deference or respect he showed for his colleagues consisted in his refusing to vote for an amendment of a directly contrary nature—viz., utterly forbidding the payment of travelling expenses. The Duke of Newcastle had just so much respect for the lower house and his friends in it that he would not go quite so far as the Marquis of Clanricarde wanted him to do ; but he pointed out how the thing could be managed rather more quietly—viz., by striking out the clause altogether. There can be no doubt that their lordships are right, much as one is disposed to suspect them in the matter of elections. Nobody is fit to have a vote if he will not pay ten shillings or so to carry him to the poll, and, if the expenses of a voter come to more, then the less the candidate has to do with him the better. The election is the elector's affair, for, though there are people so heroic or so silly as to wish to be members of Parlia ment, the only ostensible object of the whole affair is the good of the people at large. If the representative attends in Parliament for half the year, sitting great part of the time from 12 at noon to 2 o'clock the next morn ing in a poisonous atmosphere, and with disease and death rife about him, it is not too much that electors should once in three or four years—practically once in a dozen years—spend a few shillings for the good of their country. It is only rather strange that the House of Commons should put itself in the very false position of being taught a lesson of virtue by the landlords. The cry so often raised by the vested interests, " Thank God, there is a House of Lords," may now be repeated by the most zealous sticklers for constitutional govern ment, the rights of the people, and purity of election. But for this timely interference, this deathbed repent ance exhibited by the Legislature in the last week of the session, it would be perfectly lawful to give any man 101. for his vote at the next election. if he only took care t i t o o n b e w a a t C s a a t p h r n o e a s e s h , i o o r g G . a l T w h ay o i e: to r Paris, owas when e theon th ly e effectual part of the bill, for all the rest is machinery for e,-orki one n g s asrather tra no longer andunaccountable exists.

The wealthy parvenu, with his pedigree and coat of arms manufactured and paid for at the Heralds' College. beats the descendant of kings, emperors, and divinities, in the town and in the country, in his mansion in Hyde-park, his castle in Yorkshire, and his domain in the Highlands ; in banquets, balls, races, yachts, scientifichusbandry, pic tures,— in everything, in fact, within the power of a Medici, a Napoleon, or a Rothschild. Money is omnipotent in the command of existing means, end the country gen tleman with his estate in his family since the days of the Conqueror, but so encumbered that the balance is one way or the other way according to the markets, stands no chance whatever with the man who has only to smile, and it rains gold all around him. So their lord ships have possibly discovered that two can play at the game of corruption, and that " Plutocracy, as a cor respondent described it the other day, is now a much more powerful state of the realm than the "aristocracy, Under these circumstances it is as well to be virtuous, which at all events is cheap, and who knows but what, with the assistance of this novel auxiliary, the old Eng' lish gentleman may once more make head against all o the cotton-spinners, railway kings, merchants, and Hebre ws in the world ?
