INIEREWETTIER. The Successfal Results of the last half-century have proved beyond question that ROWLAisTDS' MACASSAR OIL possesses vculiarly nourishing powers in the growth, restora tion, and improvement of the Human Hair. It prevents it from falling off or turning grey, strengthens weak Hair, cleanses it from scurf and dandruff, and makes it beautifully soft, pliable and glo=sy. , In the growth of the Beard, Whiskers, and Mustachios , it is unfail ing in its stimulative operation. For Children it is especially recom fnended, as forming the basic of /t'beantiful Head of Hair. In dregs lot the Hair nothing can equal its effect, rendering it so admirably Soft that it will lie in any direction, and imparting a transcendent lustre.

BY SAMUEL LAIJERT, 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall. London, &c., foe. he essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful 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 cis ase known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their phyeleel enaidition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privaleSes to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated with out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting *f their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and 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 can not apply a cure.

They were accona panied to - the place of embarkation by Major-Gen. Sir W. F.

The majority were men who had served before Sebasto pol, and appeared to enter on the present expedi tion with much satisfaction. The vessel was taken in 4D. s TAMPED 5 Naval and military intelligence. The Royal Sovereign screw three-decker,'an im proved Duke of Wellington, will be launched from Portsmouth Dockyard about half-past 1L o'clock to-morrow forenoon. Admiral Superintendent Martin has made such arrangements as he deems most conducive to safety and the satisfaction of the curiosity of the public. Therd will be accommoda tion in stalls and galleries provided for about 16,000 persons, and, with the exception of the platform or christening stage at the stem of the ship, there will be no preference of places by tickets to particular booths or places. The three• deckers Prince of Wales and Victoria, building on adjoining slips on either side of the Royal Sovereign, have galleries affixed then on the side next the launch, and well over looking the slip, on which the rests and all have been erected, with the best -attention to safety, under the directions of the clerk of the works in the dockyard, Mr. Wood. The figure-head is an exceedingly clever likeness of the Quern, a nobly proportioned bust, executed by Mr. HeAyer, the carver of such matters for the Admiralty.'

Every pre caution has been taken to prevent her hanging upon tho ways, which so signally marred the effect of the launch of the Marlborough. Orders have been received at Chatham Garrison, directing that the non-commissioned officers and men, beFonging to the depots of those Indian regi ments wh'cia Ire serving in' the Berwal Presidency are to be immediately medically inspected, with the view of ascertaining the number of tioops , fit for embarkation, in order to enable the authoritiei to take up the necessary amount of ton nage for their conveyance, to join the head-quarters of their respective corps. On the receipt of the order at the Provisional Battalion upwards of 2,000 non-commissioned officers and men belonging to the depots of, the Bth (the King's), 24th, 27111. (Ennis killens), 32d, 35th, 52d (Light Infantry), 53d, 60th, ([loyal Rifles), 61st, 70th, 75th, 81st, and 87th (Royal Irish Fusiliers), the head-quarters of which regiments are serving in Bengal, were inspected yes terday and he previous day at the garrison hospital, Chatham, by Dr. A. Maclean and the medical staff at that establishment. The above depots will give nearly 3,000 troops to the service companiesot their regiments in India, the whole of whom are in a high st ate of discipline and hays gone through a course of instruction in the use of the Enfield rifle. The Scout, Coastguard. cutter, Mr. Leaman, Commander, arrived at Sheerness at 10 a.m. yes terday, having on board M. Hawkings, ordinary mariner, being the only survivor of the crew of the Curlew, Coastguard cutter, Mr. W. Shepherd, la'e second mate in counnand. It appears that the Cur lew and Scout anchored on the previous night •on the flat of the Mouse Sand, the Mouse light-vessel distant from the Curlew abouthelf a mile, the light vessel bearing north-west, and the Scout was at an chor about a quarter of a mile from the Curlew. M. Hawkin 2s re Roved the lookout man on the deck of tee Curlew at 12 o'clock.' At about 1 a.m. Hawk ins perceived at a abort distance a large steam vessel coming right cn for the Curlew. He imme diately ran to the companion, and called out for all hands to come on deck as quickly as, possible—that there was a large steamer steering direct upon the Curlew. He then ran aft, stepped up on the tat rail of the Curlew, and called out as loudly as he could, hut in a few seconds the steamvessel c tme stem on to the Curlew, s riking her tafrail right in midships, and breaking the main boom. Hawkings jumped up, and caught hold of the boLstay of the steamvessel. Ho then heard some person ou board the steamvessel say, " Why did you not s':ow a light ?" and the same person said imuse'liately, " Stop her l" Hawkings heard no more, he Lund himself under water, and shortly after on recovering himself he found he had hold of the rigging at the mast-head of the Curlew. He was entangled in the standing and. running rigging of the Cerlew's topmast, the topmast being carried away. He then clearly saw the steamvessel lower as boat, the boat was manned, but he positively states that all the boat's craw lay on their oars after leaving the steanivessel, and that they drifted from him witli the wind and tide, and never once pulled towards him. In about half-an:hour afterwards he was taken off the rigging by the boat's crew of the Scout in a very exhauste state from hr ving been under water some time, and bruised by the steam vessel running over him. The crew of the Scout identified the steamvessel as being the Baron Osy, of Antwerp, from Antwerp,, bound for London.' The Scout's boat remained about the mast of the Curlew for some hours to recover the broken spars and rigging, also hoping that some of the bodies might rise to the surface. At the time the Curlew was run down it was rather dark, but not densely dark. The persons drowned are Mr. Wm. Shep herd, second mate in command ; Alex. Twinney, mariner ; Henry White, gunner ; Wm. Redding, mariner ; Edward White, mariner ; Wm. Weeller, ordinary mariner ; and oseph Mathews, first class boy. On the sad affair being made known to the port authorities by Inspecting Commander Wm. C. Forsyth, R.N., immediate arrangements were made for the steam-vessels Lizard, Lieut. Thomas B. Christopher, and the African, Rheuben Harvey, to t dee on board an efficient number of riggers, &c., 'with weiehine gear, and proceed down to the Curlew. Both steam-vessels left Sheerness between 1 and 2 o'clock, the riggers being under charge of Mr. John Jackson, the Asaistant-Master-Attendant of the yard. Capt. Forsyth also proceeded to the spot to render such assistance with his men as the nature of the case required. During the night the wind veered from north-west to west, from that to north-east, and at times to the eastward. There is no doubt that in two or three tides the Curlew will be got in on 'the ebb dry on the Mouse, or, if practicable, towed. to Sheerness be tween the two steam-vessels sent out to raise her. The Avon, 3 . guns, paddle wheel steam-vessel, tender to flag-ship at Devonport, arrived at Sheer ness yesterday at noon from - Devonport and Ports mouth with supernumeraries and seamen for the Cumberland, Capt. John B. Dickson. The Cum berland is setting up her lower rigging and has sent up topmasts; she is progressing rapidly in her equipment. The Giraffe steam-vessel, R. B. Hart, com mander, and the Columbine steam-vessel, John Target, commander, arrived at noon, the forf tirmer from Flushing, the latter froth London, (which r purpose of - Wang away four morta r vessels have been lent to the General Steam Navigation Company) to raise the ship Ravensbourne, belong in . ing to teat company, which is sunk ten fathoms water oil Flushing. The company have engaged the services of Mr. W. Orchard, of her Majesty's dockyard at Devonport, Who is the inventor of an improved methodsof raising sunken ships. 9 guns, new screw steam-sloop, at The Lyra, Deptford, is ordered to be placed in the second di vision of the steam squadron of reserve at Sheerness on her arrival there. The scout, new screw steam corvette, 'from Woolwich for Sheerness, was tried for speed at the measured mile in the Lower Hope on her passage down.. Her mean speed was 11 knots 8 decimals, her engines making 67 revolutions per minute with 20 lb. steam pressure. Her engines worked says • factorily. • There were no hot bearings or priming. She ran from Gravesend to Sheerness in one hour and 50 minutes, The Japanese yacht, thoroughly fitted. and com pletely furnished, left Woolwich on Wednesdhy to adjust compasses at Greenhithe, and was ordered to sail yesterday for the West, to be paid down, and proceed on her voyage. The' sailing troop-ship Neleus, having em barked two companies .of Royal Artillery at Woolwich for Hong Kong, left the pier yesterday morning., The designation of the troops embark ing is as follows—namely, Captain Knox, in command of the 4th company, 9th battalion So- LONDON, FRIDAY KTENING, APRIL 24, 1857. JOINT STOCK BANKS. • The following letter furnishes a useful statement of the condition of the law as regards the-question of limited liability in connection with joint-stock banks " Sir,—As many shareholders are much perplexed re garding the position of banks professing to be carried on under Royal charter, and as the Examination of the directors themselves of the late Royal British Bank proves how lamentably ignorant even they are on the state of the law, the following summary concerning joint-stock banks acting under the hew as it now may be acceptable to many of your readers, and perhaps may also save them much uneasiness caused by the recent disclosures in connection with the British and the London and Eastern Banks : " Within the last 100 years, and previous to 1844, the Crown, by virtue of the Royal prerogative, and in exercise of that right, has granted several charters with limited liability to banks for carrying on business in Great Britain and Ireland, such as the Bank of Eng land, Bank of Ireland, Bank of Scotland, Royal Bank of Scotland. the British Linen Company and Commer cial Bank of Scotland, in all of which the liability is limited to the amount of the shares held. " In 1844 Peel's well-known Banking Act was passed, by which the Crown gave up and abandoned the Royal right or prerogative to grant charters for home banking, and that Act provided that henceforth it should only be lawful to commence business under letters patent,' and that the; Crown might, with consent of the Lords of Privy Council for. Trade, issue such letters patent in terms of the various regulations, restrictions, &c., men tioned in the Act itself. One very important orris ion in that Act is the absence entirely of any clause restrict ing or empowering the Crown to restrict the liability of shareholders, and the consequence is that no banking company incorporated for home banking since 1844 could obtain limited liability. " By a confusion of ideas and an improper application of terms, the banks for home banking so incorporated have invariably advertised themselves as acting under a Royal charter,' that term is used over and over again by the, directors of the Royal British Bank, whereaq the Queen had no power to grant, and no Royal charter ever was granted to that bank, the docament being the more modified and less Comprehensive thing called letters patent ;' ' and it is by this mi-application of the right name to a wrong sub ject that much of the existing ignorance on the liability , of shareholders has been fostered, and perhaps even en couraged. . "Peel's Aet left-the Royal prerogative perfectly un touched and unfettered in so far as the colonies and foreign States were concerned. The consequence has been that the Queen by right of-that power inherent in the Crown has granted real 'charters' with limited lia bility to various colonial companies since 1844 for bank ing in India, China,' Australia, and Canada, and also to various English companies for banking in and with foreign countries, but having their head-quarters in Lon don, for the promotion of the trade and commerce of Great Britain. "In these latter companies so incorporated by Royal charter,' the liability of shareholders at the time of the dissolution of the company is limited to double the amount of the shares held at the time of winding up, should there be any deficiency to meet the obligations of the company ; and the benefit of a charter' under the Royal prerogative is such that all shareholders whose ehares have been duly transferred previous to that date —viz., the date of the dissolution—are thereby relieved from all liability whatever. Such is the inherent power of a Royal charter.' " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, "Lnx." THE GREAT ATLANTIC SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH CABLE. Mr. Charles T. Bright, engineer to the Atlantic , Telegraph Company, in writing to the editor of the Times, Pays . Will you allow me to assure the writer of the article under the above heading in your impression of to-day that his apprehensions in regard to the Atlantic line are groundless, and that the form of cable now being manu factored hae not been hastily adopted. I will not remark upon the kind of cable which he so earnestly advocates, for the columns of a scientific -journal are more suited to such a discussion, but I must say that I de not wish any antagonist so certain a loss as the endorsement of Mr,-Ailan's theories by an experi ment of their value upon a large scale. I de not know upon whose authority he ventures to rush in upon us so boldly with the assumption that our 0 - , .. 4 . l atittrr,"'wtre is 44 24elfeeteludy .smsl-1/ 4 —l have had some practical experience for some years in working tclegraphic, lin' s, and have had, as engineer to the Mag netic Telegraph Company, the charge of the greatest length in the world of subterranean wires, the con ditions of which are electrically the same as those of sub marine wires ; and Mr. Whitehouse, the electrician to the Atlantic Telegraph Company, has been engaged for a long, time in experiments upon submarine conductors. We are not oppressed by any fears as to the electrical success of the cable ; and, to my mind, the alteration in the conductor, by using return wires, which your, article alludes to, would be (to follow up the writer's simile) like laying an additional pair of rails over a long line of railway, when a modification in the form of locomotive employed would answer every purpose. It would be more graceful for those who are without that knowledge of telegraphic matters which practical experience alone can teach to pause before they thrust forward their theories so positively. THE LATE EXPLOSION AT LUNDIIILL. LUNDHILL, THOESDAY. Daring yesterday and to-day five more bodies have been recovered, making a total of nine which have been got out of the pit. We have previously stated that upwards of 100 miners had volunteered to assist in the work of recovering thot bodies and restoring the pit. From this number 72 of the most experienced and intelligent men were selected to take part in the work. On Tuesday evening these men were assembled at the Lundhill Coal Company's . . offices and divided into six parties, each party consisting of 12 men. An experienced colliery 'viewer was deputed to direct the operations of each party, and, as from the confined space in which they are at work no more than one party could be employed at the same time, it was arranged that they should work in sbifts of four hours each. The six superintending viewers are Mr. W. Madison, of the Wombwell Main C.illiery ; Mr. R. C. Webster, of the Hoyland Collieries ; Mr. Brown, of Barnsley ; Mr. Potter, of the Barnsley Collieries; and Mr. ,Palmer, a gentleman from the north. Mr. Coo, the viewer at Lundhill, is deputed tie superintend the opera tions of the three day shifts, and Mr. Peace, the former viewer at Lundhill, those of the three night shafts. Char coal respirators are provided to be used when necessary, disinfectants are supplied in abundance, and all other re quisites are furnished. A surgeon is also in constant attendance at the pit, to be ready in case of illness or accident. The first relay of volunteers commenced their operations during Tuesday night, and one of their first proceedings was to explore the immediate locality of the shafts, for the purpose of removing any bodies which might be lyifig there. Within the short distance the very partial ventilation enabled them to penetrate they speedily found four bodies, which were brought to bank at an early hour yesterday morning, placed in coffins, and conveyed to the reception shed. They were all somewhat mutilated, and in such a state of decom position as to be beyond the possibility of re cognition, so far as the bodies themselves were con cerned. Two of the bodies had no clothes on which could be recognised, and they were conveyed in a hearse to Darfield church yesterday evening, and there interred. It was thought possible that the other two might be identified by their boots or clothes ; they ,were conse quently kept with that view, and have been. seen by a considerable number of the bereaved, but without being satisfactorily identified. After the removal of the few bodies they could find the volunteers commenced the work of removing the debris of the fallen roofs in the neiglebourhood of the shafts, as an essential preliminary to the reventilation of the pit. As the falls of roof caused by the fire are more extensive than had been an ticipated much labour will be involved in their removal, but the relays are proceeding vigorously with the work. The fifth corpse was found this morning by the men on the shaft, commencing at midnight and ending at 4 o'clock a.m., in the course of their excavations.. Like the other bodies it wasmutilated and decOmposed, and has not yet been recognised, if indeed it be recognisable, which is very doubtful. At the time the parcel left is was still lying in the reception shed along with the other two not interred on the previous day, that full opportunity might be given for recognition. Thus far the operations of the volunteers have been confined to the south workings of the pit, the removal of the carcases of three horses which are lying near the shaft on the north side, and emit a very offensive stench, having prevented operations on that side. Preparations are being made for the removal of the carcases. Mr. Coe and some of the viewers have been able to penetrate Lear 200 yards on the levels and enter some of the board gates for a short distance. So far as they have gone not the slightest appearance of fire has been discovered, but until the ventilation has been further restored it is impossible to fully explore the parts where the fire raged, so as to ascertain with absolute certainty that none re mains, although it is confidently believed that the fire is wholly extinguished. Mr. Coe has penetrated as far as the ventilating shaft, but from the extent of the falls around it was unable fully to examine it. The examinations that have been made show that the fire had raged even to a greater extent than had been supposed, and furaish an additional evidence of the pro priety of the course adopted in closing the mouths of the down cast shafts to cut off the current by which the fire was fed, a few hours after the explosion. It is expected that the engineers will meet again on Saturday. The recovery of the bodies will proceed but slowly, until the fallen air currents near the shaft are restored. No serious inconvenience bas been expe rienced from the noxious effluvia in the pit. IRELAND. DUBLIN, THURSDAY Momma. • THE IRISH CHIEF SECRETARY. The Evening Mail states that, after all, the re signation of Mr. Horsman an accomplished fact, and that the responsible office of Ir:sh Chief Secre tary is at the disposal of Lord Palmerston. Ex cept Mr. B. Osborne no other name has been men tioned as Mr. Horsmau's succemor. According to the Mail the appointment of the member for Dover has ben all but protested au tinst by Lord Carlisle, and the Freeman's Journal' of this morning, for getful of Mr. Osborne's past energetic services in the cause of Liberalism and- progress, denounces the choice as highly objectionable in consequende of the lion. gentleman's scathing speech in re ference fo the Iriih Court when the question of ins abolition was last under the consideration of Par liament. THE GREAT CATTLE SHOW. The annuli show of the Royal Dublin Society was held yesterday; but, 'owing' to the unfavour a`ble state of the weather—the rain scarcely ceasing during the whole day—the attendance of visitors was-very meagre. Lord Carlisle, and the Viceregal suite arrived at 3 o'clock, and stayed in the yard for fully two hours. The exhibition of stock and farming implements was m : t inferior to that of any previous year, and everything, it may be said, passed off well. His Excellency was again present at the evening meeting, and the Earl of Clancarty having proposed a vote of thanks, Lord Carlisle responded - i•Va graceilit speech, in the course of which he th'us toucjed upon a topic of painful in terest just now to the agricultural classes : " We cannot. bear of such congregations of herds of cattle without having our attention perhaps less agree ably attracted to the possible—l trust not probable — course of the visitation from that cattle murrain which has inflicted such ravages over a great portion of eastern and, I fear I must now add, of central Europe—l trust that all that can be done by the authorities on that sub ject will be done ; but the laws of contagion and the operation of contagious and epidemic influences are still so obscure that it would be impossible to dogmatise on the subject, and the contrast between the healthy and flourishing appearance of these breeds of all classes which.we have seen on the lawn and in the courts of this society to-day, with the probable altered aspect which they must present under the visitation of such a pestilence, must teach us in what close and immediate dependency of our most cherished hopes and our best organised precautions must rest "upon the Almighty blessing. '(Hear, hear, and applause.) I took the li berty just now of referring in a rather light strain per haps to the great electoral contest which has been going on through the country. To adopt, however, for one moment rather a graver mood, incloeing these brief re ' marks, I may be permitted to mention that this consti tutional process which is now brought to a close must inevitably, perhaps, have engendered on certain occa sions some bitterness of feeling—some interruptions of good humour—some alienations amongthose who ought to be good neighbours. Bat Ido trust that the laud able pursuits which it is the aim of this society to en courage by these annual meetings will have their due effect in reconciling and uniting all classes and all parties in the furtherance of objects which tend so much to the common good and undi , puted benefit of all. Con- . fident I feel that the dregs and sediment of party busi ness cannot be carried by any more wholesome method of effervescence than in the healthy, useful, and honour able calling of agriculture. (Applause.) Parties and Gdvernments may be subject to vicissitudes and change; but you, my lords and gentlemen, have the green soil of Ireland lying fresh beneath you — firm and fresh be neath you. There it is—io justice to it, cultivate it, enrich it, adorn it- r for you vielt find it ever ready to re ward and repay the skill and industry which shall best develope its abounding resources. (Loud applause.)" . THE MOUNTGARRETT PEERAGE CASE. Eleven of the twelve judges sat in error yester day for the purpose of giving jud2ment on the ap plication for a new or third trial in the now 'his toric case of "Butler v. Mountgarrett" There having been a disagreement of opinion, their lord ships delivered judgment seriatim, Mr. Justice Keogh, as junior, commencing, and at the adjourn ment of the court four out of the eleven had still to speak. Let the issue be what it way, it is not, of course, in the nature of things legal that the decision will have any other effect than that of hastening the "beginning of the end" of all such protracted and expensive suit, namely, the final appeal to , thii4iighe4 and most costly tribunal in the land. The facts of the case are briefly these : "The action was an ejectment on the title, brough by Mr. Pierce Somerset Butler against the Right Hon, Henry Edmond Butler, Viscount Mountgarrett, to re cover possession of certain lands worth several thou sands of pounds per annum, and situate in the county o: Kilkenny. The declaration in ejectment was filed in July, 1853, and, defence having been t•-iken, the case went to trial at the summer assizes of Kilkenny in 1854, -before Judge Ball and a spedial jury, and, after a pro tracted investigation of several days, terminated in a verdict for the plaintiff, the fact of the defendant's legitimacy being the only question to be decides., In Michaelmas term in the same year a conditional order for a new trial was granted by the Court of Exchequer, and subsequently made absolute, on the ground that illegal evidence was admitted at the trial, &c. The case then went down for trial again, and was re-tried before Mr. Sergeant Berwick and another special jury at the spring assizes of 1855, when, after another very pro tracted inquiry, there was .a verdict the other way, namely,lor the defendant. The plaintiff then came be fore the Court of Exchequer and asked for a third trial on the same ground that the second trial was granted— viz, that illegal evidence was admitted ; but that Court was of opinion that the verdict in favour of Lord Mount "garrett. should stand ; and. it was from that decision that the present, appeal proceedings 'were instituted. The questions raised for argument and the facts in relation to them were shortly these :—The late Earl of Kilkenny having died seised of the extensive estates in question, the plaintiff claimed them as heir-atelavr, and adduced his title in the following manner, viz., as the youngest brother of the deceased earl, and the legitithate heir to the property, the defendant being, as he alleged, illegitima . e. The deceased Earl of Kilkenny died unmarried, and had three brothers, Somerset, who also died unmarried, Henry, the father of the defendant, and the plaintiff, who was the youngeot. The plaintiff alleged that the defendant's father's marriage to his mother, Miss Harrison, was illegal, as he had a wife alive at the time—a lady named Colebrooke ; and the only questions in the case were, in fact, was there a marriage with Mrs. Colebrooke, and was it a legal marriage, and such as invalidated Henry Butler's marriage with Miss Harrison ; for, if so, it was admitted that the plaintiff would, be entitled to the title and estates in question. Upon the last trial it was pro fposed by the plaintiff to cross-examine the Dowager Marchioness of Ormond, who was examined for the de fendant, to show that the representation of the family was that Henry Butler had formed a marriage with Mrg. Colebrooke before his marriage with Miss Harrison, but the evidence was objected to by the defendant's counsel, and the objection being allowed, and the evidence ac cordingly rejected, the present application for a new trial was made. That was the principal point in the case; but there. were some other exceptions taken to the charge of the learned judge for the exclusion of other evidence, which were of minor importance. " Mr. Justice Keogh having entered minutely into the facts of the case, and reviewed the arguments ,of counsel on both sides, his lordship considered the autho rities bearing upon the questions at issue, and concluded an elaborate judgment by giving his opinion that the first and 'principal exception, that relating to the rejec tion of the Marchioness of Ormond's evidence, should be allowed, and a. venire de novo granted accordingly ; the other exceptions to be overruled. " Baron Greene followed, overruling all the exceptions, none of which he held could be sustained in law. "Judge Jackson and Barons Richards and 2611116 - father also gave judgment overruling all the exceptions. "Judges Moore and Ball allowed the first exception, and overruled the rest. "The Court then adjourned to 11 o'clock this day, when the other members of the Court will severally pro nounce judgment. "As the case now stands there are three members of the Court for granting a venire de novo, and four contra." CANDIDATES FOR THE MINIUM FLITCH.--The follow ing applications for the Dnnmow flitch, to he presented on the 24th June by W. Harrison Ainsworth, Esq , have been received ; and it is evident that as the claim ants appear to be eqlaily eligible—all meek and mild; submissive and loving, and only one prize is offered, two of the couples must return baconless, unless some gene rous donor will augment the gammon. The wife of one of the Claimants has been married three times, and says that by experience she finds a waqied life much Kapp or than a single one : " Staffordshire, April 9, 1857. " Sir—We are both prepared to substantiate our claim for the ditch of bacon, and are now enjoying the pleas mg thoughts of our anticipated visit to Durarnow, to go in and win the prize of our ambition. "T. J. 11. M. H." "Saffron Walden, 31st March, 1857. " Sir—We hereby claim the Dunmow flitch of bacon, and are quite willing to take the oath required, and go through the necessary ceremony in order to claim ; and hope we shall be fortunate enough to gain the prize, as we have never quarrelled since our marriage took place. "W. S. R.P. S." " Colchester ' April 6, 1857. " Sir--I am happy to inform you that my wife as well as myself are most willing to go through the ceremony, of obtaining the Dunmow flitch, as the honourable prize of cur conjugal happiness ; and we shall be there, unless prevented by sickness or other unforeseen accident. " J. 0. B." GENERAL THE HON. THOS. ASEIIiUBS HAM, C.B. The following letter has been addressed to the editor of the Times'i— " Sir,—My belief is that General Ashburnha m was not at the battle of Chillianwallah, as stated in a leading article in your impression of yesterday. " It was at the battle of Sobraon. that Gen. Asl:- burnham, then a lieutenant-colonel of the 62d Foot, commanded a brigade, consisting of the 9th Foot and two regiments of the Native Infantry. "At the mess-table of the 9th Foot, in Marcn, 1846, it was frequently alluded to how beautifully 'the Brigadier kept the brigade in a nullab, or deep ditch, until an officer on Lord Gough's r•taff rode down, and with more impetuosity than politeness, roared out, in reply to an observaion from the Brigadier, Manceuvring be I There are the batteries, and the Chief says you are to charge them !' ThiS order - the:brigade received with a hew ty cheer, and did, charge them most gal 'aptly. " General Ashburnham is innocent of any mili tary experience beyo.id this. After the battle of Sobraon he came hOme, and subsequently accompa nied Lord Falkland to Bombay: as ,military secre tary.. " The news of General Ashburnham's appoint ment to command the forces in China will be re garded in India as a whirnsidal hoax until the truth is made known. General Patrick Grant, the Commander-in- Chief at Madras; an officer whose antecedents, character, and exveriene& ,pgenliarly fit him for the post, is the officer who ought to have been sent to China. It is true that he is a Company's officer, but, for tbat matter, so is General Outram. "I am, Sir, your bedient servant. " April 222' " PHOCION. " Sir,—ln your leading article of the 21st inst., you express some doubts as to whether General Ashburnham is exactly the man for taking sudden possession of Canton, marching on Pekin,' &c. In those misgivings I most heartily coincide, and you shall judge from one little episode in the General's services whether I have not a good reason for so doing. " I have now in my possession a little memoran dum book, in which I wrote .down a few notes on the campaign of the Sutlej in 1845-46, jotted down immediately after the last action, Sobraon. From these, as3isted by the most vivid recollection of what occurred in my cognisant,), I give you the following details : " That y ou may understand what I have to say, I must premise that our chief advanced post at Rhodawallah was about a mile from the kit front of our camp; arid about 200 yards from the nearest point of the Sikh intrenchments ; that at some 860 yards from Rhoclawallah, in the direction of the shortest line to those intrenchments, was a 'Sikh outpost termed. the Maichan (look-out stage). In the immediate neighbourhood of this post it had be'n decided by the Commander-in-Chief, Gover nor-General, and heads of departments, in council assembled, that our battery of heavy artillery• was to be thrown up, destined to _ subdue the first of that portion of the Sikh intrenchment upon which our main attack was to be made. " Brigadier Ashburnham was in command of the outpost of Rhodawallah on the 9th and 10th of February, 1846, having under his orders her Ma jesty's 9th,-two native regiments, and a detail of artillery. At 11 p.m. of the 9th I, then holding the position of a staff officer, started fr.nn camp by order of the brigadier commanding the artillery to inform Brigadier Ashburnham that the first gun of the siege train had got under way, and to desire lion to lose no time in taking the Sikh outpost at the Maichan, agreeably to the orders of the Comman der-in-Chief. Arrived at his tent, I foUnd the Brigadier in his dressing-gown. • I communicated to him the message , I was charged with. He re plied that his orders were to take the Maichan with her Majesty's 62d at 4 o'clock a.m. I objected that the regiment in question was three miles to the rear ; that some most valuable hours would in evitably be lost if he insisted on having that, regi ment ; that our artillery was to open at daylight, an that a battery could not be thrown up iu three hours ; that the 9th under his command would do the business equally well ; and that there was evidently a great discrepancy between the orders he had received and those my brigadier were in posses sion of. My reasoning was of no avail. ; the 62d, at 4 a.m., was his ultimatum. " 1 returned to camp. • My brigadier, his second in command of the same rank, and the two briga diers of the Engineers, disgusted at the state of affairs—a boggle in /imine—proceeded to Rhoda wallah to endeavour to persuade Brigadier Ash burnham of the . necessity of taking the post at once. I accompanied them. They were not a whit mote successful than I had been. He was obdrirate. • " The whole of the officers and men attached to the Heavy Artillery and' Engineers remained from say, 12 o'clock till 4 a.m. kicking their hcela' the most bitter cold night, without coveting orfire, instead of throwing up their battery as was in tended by the Commander-in-Chief. "By this time Sir E. Gough, Commander-in- bedight in .a white blanket paletot over his uniform, Sir H. Hardinge in his carriage, and their brilliant' staffs had congregated at Rhodawallah. What was said to Brigadier Ashburnham by Sir EL G mgh on the matter I know not, but I would not have held his position that fine morning for a good round sum 1 However, the 621 at length made their appearance. They loaded as I stoo i by, and, under the command bf Brigadier Ashburnham, started through the darkness in the direction of the Maichan. Every ear was stretehei to catch the faintest noise, expecting every instant to hear a shout and a rattle of musketry. Not a. sound ! A quarter of an hour elapsed. Sir Hs• Gough sent an aide-de-camp to ascertain what had happened. It was dark, and he lost his way. A second was not more fortunate. A third at length returned with the information that the 62d, under the command of the Brigadier, were lying in the dry nullah (water-course), between us and the Maichan. Oh the exasperation of that moment ! Sir H. Gough was frantic as only Sir H. Gough could be. Ala ! what in the world more orders would he want ? Let him take it immediately was his Excellency's reply to the aide-d-camp. " The regiment, under command of the cautious Brigadier, went up to the Maichan, and—there was not a aoul in " The above occurrences appear in Sir H. Gough's despatch, as follows It was directed that this, (the taking of the Maichan) should to done during the night of the 9th, but the execution of this part of the plan was deferred, owing to mis conceptions and casual circumstances, until near daybreak.' •" From the above you may perhaps gather what General Ashburnhatn s military capacity is, and whether he is likely to be the man for China. I should state, however, that on the receipt of Sir H. Gough's despatches in England Brigadier Ashburn ham was nominated ono, of her Majesty's aides-de camp for having, according to the despatches manceavred with great coolness and success as a reserve.' " Yours obediently, "M. L." " Sir,—Allow me to correct a mistake in your leader of yesterday. Lieutenant-Generil Ashburn ham commanded a brigade of the army under Lord Gough at the battle of Ferozeshuhur, on the 21st and 22d of December, 1845, and again at Sobta,on, on the 10th of February, 1846, he being then the junior lieutenant colonel cf the 62d Regiment. I do not think he could. have been at Chillianwallah, as he was at the time military secretary to Lord Falkland. " Yours obediently, " AN OLD SPRINGER. "Rochford, Essex, April 22," CANDIDATES AND THEIR WIVES.—The ladies have taken an active part at several of the elections just ended. At Huddersfield, as most of our readers know, Mr. Akroyd, at the close of the election, em braced his wife in the presence of the assembled thou sands in St. George's-square, to whom the lady and her husband then bowed their acknowledgments. It is raid that an influence that largely contributed iio Lord John Russell's return was the admiration excited by the appear ance at the hustings, and active interest taken in the p oll by his wife. Lady John Russell appeared in the City with her children, visited the different polling-booths. ad a smile and a courtesy ready for every voter, and coMpletely won the hearts of the multitude. Another candidate :a wife in the country carried matters even farther than did Lady John Russell. Lady Mildred Hope, the daughter of the Marquis of Salisbury and wife of Air. 1%.

TILE ONEIDA. To-morrow we ought to have telegraphic news from Suez, Aden, Point de Galle, and Singapore, and also from Mauritius to the Ist inst. ,Up to this latter date the Oneida would have been out 55 days from King George's Sound ; so that if she was crippled and made for the Isle of France, she would probably have reached that place by the last-men tioned date. To-morrow week we ought to hear from Australia, by way of Marseilles. It is a satis faction to know that the steamer European, which should have arrived at Suez on Wednesday, has been over the track of the Oneida, and that the steamers Simla and Columbian are now crossing the Indian Ocean, also in her track, so that sup posing she broke down, and was becalmed, she is likely to have been or to be met with. `i he speed of the Oneida, if she were obliged to sail, would be reduced one-half in consequence of the screw not lifting. A sailing vessel was one time eight 'months crossing the Indian Ocean, havino , been becalmed six months of the time. The islands in the Indian Ocean nearly in the track of the Oneida are Christ nias, Keeling, and the Chagos Islands. The Oneida left King George's Sound ou the 4th Feb. last. By to-morrow week we may have news from Mel bourne up to March 13 ; from King George's Sound up to the 23d, ant Singapore to the 28th of that month ; from Mauritius up to April 1, and Galle to the 7th, Aden to the 17th, Lnd Suez to the 22d of the present month A hurricane blew in the Indian Ocean for about five days, about the middle of last February, in the latitude where the Oneida should have been at that time. The European and Australian Company discontinued, a week or two since, paying the wages of the crew to the families of the latter, but payment has now been resumed. The insurance rate on the gold on board the miss ing steamer is at the present time enormously high. EMIGRATION. TO AUSTRALIA. The tide of emiaration to Australia, both from the ports of. London and Liverpool, appears to be rapidly on the increase. During the past year 276 vessels sailed from the Thames, of a tonnage of 209,012 tons ; and 125 vessels left the Mersey, of an aggregate tonnage of 140,652 tons. The tonnage of the vessels leaving the Thames averaged 750 tons each, and those from the Mersey 1,125 tons. Seven teen vessels, carrying Government emigrants, were despatched during the year from the Mersey, chiefly from the Black Ball and White Star lines of packets, and 7,000 persons were sent from that port by the Emigration Commissioners. The emigrants em , barked not for Melbourne only, as large numbers were destined for Sydney, Geelong, and Adelaide. In the closing months of the year, as well as in the March and June quarters, private emigration be cure exceedingly active, and above 16,000 persons left the Mersey in the ships of James Baines and. Co., Gibbs, Bright, and Co., Pilkington and Wil son, P. Magee, and E. Thompson. During the year James Baines and Co. sent out in private ves sels 7,753 passengers , and 3,412 passengers in Go vernment vessels; Messrs. Pilkington and Wilson conveyed in private vessels 3,675 emigrants, and in Government ships 1,662 passengers ; and Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and CO. sent out in private vessels 1,3§0 emigrants. The Government returns of the entire emigration for 1856 give 22,801 passengers, 'of which number 11,101 sailed under the Black Ball flag. In the first three thonths of the present year the same line of packets has conveyed from these shores —in January 1,000 passengers, in February 2,100, and in March 1,000. In the present month of April the number will exceed 2,000. These num bers include both Governmert and private emi grants. A still more active emigration is likely to mark the present as compared with the past year. After June the 'Victoria portion of it is to be managed in England by Mr. Childers, a commis sioner appointed by the local government, and the other portions of the colonies will remain for the present in the hands of the existing commissioners in England. Mr. Childers will have, we understand, a salary of 1,2001. per annum, and he will have power to appoint six sub-commissioners, for certain districts in the kingdom, to assist him in his duties, whose salaries will be filed at 6001. per annum each. Of the emigrants a large number are Irish (although America is the favourite outlet for enter prising natives of the sister isle), but by far the larger'numbers are supplied from England and Scotland, including numerous drafts from the min ing districts of the north of England. OBITUARY.—Died, on Easter Monday, that terrible old nuisance, Greenwich Fair, not a bit lamented by any one who knew it, pickpockets and gents alone perhaps ex cepted. The deceased had been for many years in a bad way, and at the last had sunk to so low a state that it was evident its existence must be put a stop to. For many seasons past the deceased had been subject to attacks by the public press, and from what had transpired in con temporary columns—those which are devoted, to police reports especially—it was evident that the deceased could not long be expected to survive. It may be said, there fore, that the death was chiefly brought on by expo sure, while it will generally be admitted that it can but be regarded as a happy release. In their reverence for the departed, a few sorrowing swell-mobsmen are abotit, we understand, to raise a tombstone to its me mory on the spot once sacred to the Crown and Anchor The device will simp l y be an empty hand and an extin guisher, and the motto, in thieves' Latin Sic transit gloria Easter Mundi t" —Punch.
