The Discount MArket is in a very disturbed con dition, and the quotation generally asked for the best three months' bills is 7 per cent. The Bank have not altered their minimum, but have never theless required one per cent. more for certain descriptions of business than they did a few days ago• This has occasioned an unsettled feeling out Of doors, and increased strengency is generally expected. Large quantities of specie are expected to leave for India, the Brazils, Egypt, and other Places. During the last few days there has been rather less animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. Sugar, however, has generally supported Previous prices. For coffee the demand has con tinued heavy, while a large amount of business has been done in rice at enhanced prices. Spices and fruit have remained at about previous quotations, While the tallow market has been dull, and prices have, in some instances, slightly given way. Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have received by this mail on account of New Granada dividends From the Custom-house of Santa Marta, £1,928 68 .7 d .; Carthagena, £567 10s. ; Rio Hache, £l4l 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 cent. 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 )641 dole. 85c.; total, 71,628 dole. 57c. Two O'CLOCK. At the first general meeting to-day of the pro. Prietors of the Scinde, Punjaub, and Delhi Bank Corporation the report, 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 'lent 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 B r. Katharine's Dock Companies, the price to be Paid being £lO7 103. for every £lOO stock, and 4h 421 10s. for every £2O share. 11 The Stock Exchange Market closed yesterday 81 With a very heavy !appearance, and increased de pression has been experienced to-day. The un- Settled state of political affairs abroad and the I Prospect of dearer money at home have weakened the markets for stocks and shares, and sales having t been negotiated on an extensive scale, prices have all receded. Consols this morning have declined :1 another Iper cent., the present prices being 91-4 92 1 for money; 901 I, less the dividend, for the 3d . inst.; and 91* for the January settlement. The New Threes are last quoted 90 901 ; the Reduced Annuities, 901; Exchequer Bills, 10s. to ss. die.; and India 5 per Cents., 108 In the early part of the day a decided decline I took place in the value of the principal speculative of Foreign Securities, but a partial recovery has since s Occurred, and the market presents a generally firm appearance. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are now 691 701 ; Mexican, 361 a ; Greek, 291 j ; Spanish Passive, 331 31 ; ditto Certificates, 13 ; and the Confederate Loan, 55 57. In the :1 other stocks the transactions have been as Si fellows:—Portuguese Scrip, a t prem. (since then, el however, the price has risen to 1 prem.) ; Italian 5 per Cent s ., 70,1-, a ; Venezuelan 6 per Cents. , 55 / ; Peruvian, 4/ per Cents., 80 a ; Russian 5 per Cents, 87} I. The operations in Railway Shares have been on a very limited scale, and the few bargains recorded show a further decline in values. Metropolitan B .L have receded 305., Blackwall and South Eastern 155., Great Western, North Western, and Midland, -- 10 E4 , and Great Eastern, and Lancashire and York- Shire ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines have remained without any change of importance. Bank Shares continue depressed. Imperial Otto man have declined to 161„ London and County to 65 , Alliance of London and Liverpool to 46, and East London to 71. In the Miscellaneous Market Discount Corpora tion have receded to 8,4 9, and Rio de Janeiro Im provement to 27-1. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. 15 Et ilk Stock -- 3 per Cent.

LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY,) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. _ SYMMS V. FRASER. His lordship having summed up the evidence, the jur) 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 I 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 OE PERJURY. 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 was found guilty, and sentenced to 15 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 briLg'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. Itibton 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. Itibton then minutely cross-examined Everett as to his antecedents. The case was proceeding when we went to press. NEW 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.

THE " 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. Shillingfori, 325 A, deposed to seeing the defendant in the Haymarket about 4 o'clock this morning with about 20 prostitutes and several men round him. 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 a 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 ? , hillingford—Prostitutes and their companions. Defendant—l was walking home on the quiet side of the .aymarket, when I was seized at each side by a female, id one of them stole my purse. A mob of prostitutes and bullies got round me, and my hat was kuoeked cff. I was excited, but not drunk, and it is the first time I was ever locked up. Shillitgford—The defendant was drunk; I had seen him bere 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 say a woman took your purse, and yet the constable finds it in your poz.ket. My advice to you is to avoid the:Haymarket at night. You must pay 20s or 14 days. ROIOSERY AT A FEATHER WAREHOUSE.--Henry Vaux, a young man in the employ of Mr. John Baptist Floiech mann, feather merchant, of 20, Noel-street, Soho, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a quantity of ostrich feathers of the value of £6, the property of his employer. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap• peered for the prosecution. In opening the case, Mr. Lewis said the prisoner had been only a few months in Mr. Fleischmann's employ, and in consequence of a quantity of feathers being missed, sus picion was thrown on all the persons employed. More fea thers 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. Fteisch mann. Alfred Burgess, foreman to Mr. Fleischmann, 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 Fleischmann identified the 28 feathers and a parcel of 13 more as his property. Webb, 112 C, proved following the prisoner on leaving his employ to Old-street, St. Luke's, and on stopping him and telling him he was charged on suspicion of robbing his employer, he produced 28 feathers from his pocket, and on his (Webb) going to 14, Prospect-place, Islington, where the prisoner lodged, ho found 13 more. On the way to the station the prisoner said, " Soine 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. THANIES. A VERY BAD APPRENTICE,—A tradesman came before Mr. Partridge this morning to complain of his apprentice, who he 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 always 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- Eton is quite right. Now, what is your first complaint ? Applicant—He absented himself last Wednesday, but I forgave him for that. Mr. Partridge—Well, I cannot take any notice of that. When did he again absent himself? Applicant—On Sunday last. Mr. Partridge—l cannot punish him for that; every apprentice has a right to his Sunday. Applicant—l only wantei 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 P 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 week-days 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 IVIARYLE BONE. LOVERS' QUARRELS.—CURIOUS CASE OF ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—SmnueI Eastman, aged 20, a clerk, was charged before Mr, Yardley with attempting to commit suicide under the following strange circumstances : Thomas Ward, foreman at Headley-wharf, Camden town, 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 he said. In less than five minutes after this, and whilst 1 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 he 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. He did not. Mr. Yardley—He 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 Aehleford, 388 S. Mr. Yardley (to prisoner) --What have you to say now ? Prisoner (in a low desponding state) —I am exceeding sorry. Mr. -Yardley—For what ? caused this ? Prisoner —For what I have done to be brought here. Mr. Yardley—And what was that ? prisoner had something pressing on my mind. Mr. Yardley—And you was going to drown yourself ? Prisoner—Yes• going in a foolish • Mr. Yardley—Whatl a young man, 20 years of age, mw with e w n h t o t m o drownfl himself . hs g o W n eh wrong, Whet an s Prisoner--I 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 otethiag 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 —I have, air. A young lady here entered the court, and, entering the witness-box, gave a fond look at the prisoner, and burst out crying. Mr. Yardley — Come, come, there's no damage d o ne yet; he was only going to cool himself on a cold November night. 1 suppose yon 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 him in the canal again I will send him to the House of Correction to dry. The lovers then left together. h (then all li M n .r t- • ; ) ; MORTALITY AMONGST TIIE ALDERMEN SINCE TILE YEAR 1851. —By reference to the chronicles of the CGrporation we find that no less than 15 of the then aldermen have died or rt. signed their functions. sTirhejoiohnl lowing are the names :—St.r Claudius Hunter, Bart.; Wm.

The circumstance of the chairman of the evening being the veteran statesman, tho head of the Government, added to the inherent claims of the institution, attracted a very large muster of the friends of this national institution, the large hall being completely filled. 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 Palmerston's entrance, headed by the pipers, and accompanied by the Duke of Agyll, the Earl of Leven, Lord Campbell, and Sir R. Murchison, the noble Premier was received with the greatest enthusiasm. Among the other guests present were Archdeacon Sinclair, Sir J. H. M axw ell, Sir W. Stirling, Sir W. Fraser, M.P., Gen. Sir J. Love, Alderman Lusk, Mr. Maclean, Dr. Webster, and Professor Fergusson, &c. Upon the with lrawal of the cloth, Lord PAI.3IERSTON 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 ArroY, 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 nemo me impune r,acessl 49} 9 63} 3 1 3 110 1031 f 4 11l 9i 111 101 127}¢ 52i 101& i 58; 89 8! 108 1 711. , Oli 472 95} 5 41 51 bUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 O'CLOCK, THE POLISH INSURRECTION. CRACOW, Nov. 30.—The Polish leader Bosak attacked the town of Opatow, in Radom, two days back, driving out the Russians and seizing 6,000 roubles which were in the public TrLasury. The Dziennik, in referring to the nume rous banisments to Siberia without trial, represents them as measures of precaution. THIRD EDITION (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. 111‘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 pictureof a High land sentry standing with his heels resting on the brink of an abrupt precipice, and the motto underneath was " Fear nothing 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 the 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 Dan donald and Charley Napier. (Loud cheers.) The last I had the honour of calling my personal friend, and it 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 Europe at large. (Cheers.) That brilliant action of his agaiust 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 and naval annals, I am sure you will drink with enthusiasm the "Army, Navy, and Volunteers." The toast having been duly honoured, General Sir J. LOPE returned thanks for the army, Sir J. H. MAXWELL for the navy, and Lord ClurnEnt. for the Volunteers. The Noble CHAIRMA.N next proposed the toast of " Pros. parity 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 origin. He believed that its charter dated two centuries back, but its real origin was still more remote. The insticu du had the merit of being at 3 pa 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 showed their spirit of nationality by hating, by abusing, and by injuring 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 he 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 betwaen sinking and swimming, a slight suppart weuld 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, and whose natural resources were insufficient to meat 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 he 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 reoeived 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 1 were not to take a most lively interest in all that concerns the welfare of Scotland and Scotchmen, for I aria 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 prin ci p les during my three years' re sidence in Edinburgh than I possessed at any other place. (Cheers.) I had there the advantage of association with D uga ld Stewart, w ith Playfair, with Gregory, and all th e other distinguished men who then gave instruction to youth in Edinburgh, and which advantage I could not have tor joyed elsewhere. (Cheers.) Therefore I feel a deep in Scotland, from gratitude to the country and to its peop le. d In all things there is poetry and there is prose. 31loisee th e at friend near me, Sir It.

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 Legged 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 Mike 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. Hereford 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 Adams, 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 sentries in the first bungalow ?—I did. Where were they posted ?—ln No. 2 room in the centre of the room. What orders did they give up ?—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 remember on what day you were on this duty ? I believe it was the 9th of May. What character did Sergeant Major Lilley bear for so briety and soldier-like conduct ?—A very good one.: Cross• examined by Colonel Crawley—At what o'clock was it that you visited the sentries on the 9th of May ? About ten o'clock at night. Did you see Mrs. Litley on that occasion?—No. Deseribe 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 hear exactly, describing by the model, the proper walk and post 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 2—He was at the outer door of the servants' room with the sentry behind him, He 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 ?—Yes, 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 Elmer Eland, of the 6th Dragoons, sworn. Examined by Colonel Sir A. Horsford—l was on duty while Sergeant Major Lille) , was under arrest. I mounted guard on the 27th of April, 1862, and on the ,21st of May, 1862. I recollect the orders I took over about the sea ' tries. On the 27th of April the sentry was to take I charge of the prisoner, to allow no communication to take place between anyone outside and the prisoner, and the • native servant was to be searched on going in and corn- bungalows. In the first bungalow the sentries were posted in No. 4 and No. 2 inside, by the front of the door. By Colonel Crawley—From the place where the sentries were posted Mrs. Lilley's bed could not be seen. Private John Stone said he had been in the regiment five years and seven months. Sergeant Major Lilley was a sober, steady, non-commissioned officer. By Colonel Crawley—He never entered Mrs. Lilley's bedroom, nor did he ever see Mrs. Lilley in her bedroom. Sergeant Samuel James said he had been in the 6th Dragoons eight years and eight months. 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, callel " 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 Cendy 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 sergr ;ea nt major's bedroom, w hi c h prevente d th e sentry f ro m seeing in. A person mi g ht see over the c h ec k if h e w ent close to it. He did not see Mrs. Lilly until the morn ing of the 2 5 th of May, She was th en i n a night dr efts. By Colonel Craw le y —On that dayhe fou n d th a t th e sentry was not where he had posted him. He Called out, and some one said `'Come in." Ile the n lif ted up the chick, and saw the sentry supporting the sergeant major on his arm in bed. That was how he came to see Mrs. Lilley in her night dress. At that time the sergeant major was dying. If the sergeant major had not been dying, and if witness had not been called in he should not have seen Mrs. Lilley in her night-dress. Before he lifted up the chick he could not see what was going on in the room. There was no medical man with the major when witness went in and found him 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, 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 P—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 th e 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. He always conside red Sergeant Major Lille— , a steady, sober) upright man. By Colonel Crawley—The order he received on the 28111 of April was from Sergeant Major Cotton in writing' Neither Lieutenant Pitzsimon nor Sergeant Majors.

The he sen tries had orders no t to lose sight of the prisoner except w hen he went into Mrs. Lilley's bedroom. According to the orders he received he thought No. 4 was the proper room for the sentries. He did not see the sentry when he placed the sentry over him at night. The door was shut and the sentry wished to be certified that the sergeant major was there. Witness then called to the sergeant major who answered him, and he told the sentry that he was there. It was the room on the right of No. 2 (pointing to the mo del) that the voice, came from. No complaints were ever made to him by Sergeant Major or Mrs. Lilley. Corporal James Barry, of the 6th Dragoons, said he had been nine years and four months in the regiment. Sergeant Major Lilley'e character was that of a sober, steady man, He was on duty twice during the arrest, on both occasions in the bungalow in which he died. Te the beet of his re collection, it was on the 17th or 18th of May, and again on the 22d.

It seems that one of the porters, a young man named Dowding, had oceation to cross the late from the down to the up side just as the down train from London was leav ing the station. Being very foggy it is supposed that he did not see the up express train from Reading, which passes Feltham without stopping at 5.18 pm. He ,was unfortunately knocked down by the engine of the ap proaching train and killed on the spot, the body being frightfully crushed. The remains were at once removed to the Railway ,Inn, near the station, where the body of the unfortunate man now lies. The head of the poor fellow was completely smashed. Re was a married man, and had two children, llis wite, we believe, is lying ill at Feltham.
