rilE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 27, 1857. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-April 25. WORSHIP-STREET. Benjamin Hill, alias Benny Lurch, a very well-dressed young fellow, but a known thief, was placed at the bar upon a charge of having robbed an elderly and respectable looking man named William Cavalier. The latter was on his way home, about three o'clock in the morning of the 7th inst., through Thomas-street, Whitechapel, when three men sud denly came upon him, and one of them put au a , m round his throat, while the prisoner, who stood in front of him, took the watch from his waistcoat pocket, and deliberately unscrewing it from the guard chain, transferred it to his own pocket. The prosecutor saw this done, but was prevented from crying out by the pressure upon his throat, which was so severe that, when relaxed, he fell to the ground, stunned, but recovered in about a minute, and gave an alarm, which was heard by policeman Earl, who knew him, and had bade him " good morning" at Sthe corner of Thomas-street not five minutes before. The constable bad also seen the prisoner and two others together at a public-house door. _ Both persons made a rambling defence, French said he had nothing to do with the cart, and was merely passing by accident. Janes said he was alone and that some one drove the cart away ; and he could not account for the coat being found in the dust. The magistrate said it would be necessary to make further inquiry about them, and he should therefore remand them for a week. Remanded accordingly. WOOLWlCH.—Benjamin Martin, a gunner and driver in the Bth company 14th battalion Royal Artillery, was placed at the bar before Mr. Seeker, charged on suspicion of cau , :iog the death of a fe male named Sweet, by throwing her into the river. The prisoner and deceased were observed walk ing together about ten o'clock on Friday night, towards the Bell Water-gate, and on their arriving at Roff's Steam-boat-pier, the soldier inquired when there would be another boat, as the young woman wanted to go to Charlton. On being informed that the last boat had left, they both turned back as if about to leave the pier. Shortly afterwards a cry of " A woman overboard !" was heard, and on as sistance hurrying to the spot, the soldier was found standing alone on the pier, from which - tho woman had disappeared. The pier was in height about 25 feet from the water. The woman was taken from the water, which was then low, and conveyed to a surgeon's in the vicinity, who pronounced her to be dead, and the prisoner was taken into custody. The deceased is a married woman, with three children, and was drunk as well as the soldier. The evidence of the principal witness tended to prove that the deceased might have fallen off the pier, as the soldier appeared to be three or four yards away from her at the time of the occurrence. Mr. Seeker informed the prisoner that he was charged with causing the death of the young woman with whom be was in company, but at present he sail - nothing to fix it upon him. He must, how ever, remand him for further inquiries, but would receive his (prisoner's) recognisance to appear on Saturday next. Mary Hurley, a girl of the town, who eaw the robbery committed, distinctly proved, also, that the prisoner, whom she had known for three years, was the one who stood in front of the prosecutor, and took his watch. After they had all left th• spot, she picked up the prosecutor's hat, which had fall•u off, and was herself taken into custody by a police man, who found her with the hat under her shawl, but she was subsequently discharged. Dob.ll, 195 H, said he found the prisoner, at one o'clock yesterday morning, in the Mile-end road, and called him by his flash name of " Benny Lurch." He admitted that was his name, but said he knew nothing of the robbery he was accused of. He now asserted that it was got up by the girl Hurley, and the police. He was, however, com mitted to Newgate for trial. WESTMINSTER.— This morning the only charge of felony upon the pollee-sheet was against William Hutton, a man fifty years ot• age, for -stealing a pair of soles and two mac kerel from the shop of his master, Mr. Thomas Charles, an extensive fishmonger, at 9, Arabella row, Pimlico. On the case be;ng called on, the prosecutor was absent, and the prisoner was consequently dis charged. Presuming upon this unexpected change in circumstances, prisoner stoutly laid claim to the fish, which was in the hands of the constable, as his own; and it was ordered to be restored to him. While this was being done in the police-station, Mr. Charles entered the court, and having stated that, with his large establishment, it was necessary to prosecute the accused, who had a_ good salary for five years as his warehouseman, a policeman was sent after the prisoner, who was found trudging along about fifty yards from the court, with his master's fish in his hand. On his being again placed in the felon's dock, Mr. Charles said that on the previous night, as prisoner was leaving, he observed his appearance was very bulky, and asked him to turn out the fish he had got about him, whereupon prisoner pulled out "a sole from his breast," a mackerel from each of his tiousers pockets, and a second sole from under his waistcoat. He was then given into cus tody, and said it was a bad job, and he was very sorry for it. Prisoner, who was now completely chap-fallen, was committed for trial. The sergeant of the company guaranieed his ap pearance, and the prisoner wa3 at once liberated. CONFESSION OF A WIFE MURDERER MARLBOROUGH-STREET. —lsidore Gask, Garson Albinski, and Peter Urbani, were charged with combining to prevent journeymen tailors from working for Mr. Gautier, tailor, of Regent street. _ _ The prisoners were all foreigners, working- as tailors for West-end houses, and formed part of a body of about 100 tailors, principally foreigners, who are now on strike for higher wages than some of the trade are dispos?d to pay. The dispute, it was stated by a person in court, with Mr. Gautier was that he was offering 16s. for dress coats, while full-priced masters were paying 225. _ . Several cases ware gone into where the defen:. dants had called upon journeymen who worked for N. Gautier, and intimidated them by threatening to cut their heads open, flourishing sticks at them, and by other means, unless they at once left their work and put their names down on the list of man on strike. It was urged in mitigation of the offence that, being foreigners, they were not acquainted with the English law in reference to strikes and intimidation of persons to compel them to do so. Mr. Bingham, on the promise of the defendants not to repeat the offence, agreed to accept their own recognisances to keep the peace, but fully explained the severe pun'shment which would attend a repeti tion of the offence. MARYLEBONE.—CharIotte Smith, an elderly woman, was charg ed with stealing an oil painting from the shop of Mr. H. W. Oder, picture dealer Dudley-grove, Paddington. It appeared from the evidence of Mrs. Oder, that the previous night, about seven o'clock, she was in her parlour, when she beard some one going out of the shop. She got up and looked towards the shop door. She then saw the bonnet of the prisoner, who was hastily making ber way out. She (complainant) proceeded out of the parlour, and on her way through the shop she missed an oil painting that was hung up near the street door. She ran after the prisoner and stopped her. Complainant then saw that she htd something under her shawl. Complainant laid hold of it and found that it was an oil painting. Mr. Long—When did you last see it safe ? Complainant—ln the morning. I have lately mi-see several oil-paintings, a valuable looking glass, and other articles. I called a policeman an I gave her into custody. D 327 produced the painting, which was a sketch of a winter scene. Mr. Long (to prisonea)—What have you to say to the charge ? Ara you guilty or not guilty Prisoner—l am guilty, sir. It was distress that drove me to steal the picture. Mr. Franklin, chief usher, said that she was an old offender, and had been severol times at the bar where she then stood. She was sent a month tothe House of Correction. Several drivers of rival omnibuses were fined for loitering in the public thoroughfare. The penalties were, paid. SOUTHWARK.—EzekieI. Barrett, a journey mui hatter, was brought before Mr. Combe, by ChaThand, 216 M, one of the warrant officers at tac+led to this court, charged with committing a brutal and cowardly assault on Susan Barrett, his wife. The latter, a tidy-looking female, but apparently half-starved, and who exhibitede, black eye, statedth it she had been married to the prisoner 15 years and had 4 children. Her husband earned more than 2 1 . a week by dealing in Pawnbrokers' duplicates, but he neglected her and the children, so that some days they were without food. For the last 6or 7 years he had been in the habit of ill-treating ber, and in , May last he left her without a vestige of fur niture or the means of bnying food. She was com pelled to work very hard to enable her to keep the children from starving for several months. In Ja nuary the prisoner came home, promising t o be kind to her, but he had not been living long with her when he recommenced his ill-usage. On Tuesday he came home drunk and abused her in a dreadful manner, and when she remonstrated with him be knocked her down like a bullock, and struck her several times on the face, giving her a black eye, and otherwise bruising her face. He then ran out of the house, and on the following morning she ap plied to the court and obtained a warrant for h. s apprehension. She, however, did not wish to have him punished, as all she required was that he should keep the peace towards ber, and not come near her. Mr. Combe asked her whether he had frequently beat her Lately? She replied that he bad, but that was only when he cams home drunk, and that was nearly every night. Mr. Combe asked the prisoner what he had to say in answer to the charge ? He said that his wife aggravated him and bit his nose, so that he was compelled to pfish her off and she fell down. That was how she came by her black eye. The complainant denied the assertion. She, how ever, acknowledged scratching his face when he was beating and kicking her. Mr. Combs told him he wan a cowardly brutal fellow, and ho should not be doing his duty unless he punished him with some severity. He must be e9mmitted to the House of Correction for Oree months, with hard labour. THE LATEST NEW THING.—A spider-tank is the last novelty, and likely to be the most popular one intro duced. Ir. t-hoel , l be furnished with a perforated glazed top, and be not less than ten or twelve inches high, formed upon a square base of some six or more inches. The one we have contains three &sea spiders, acting, like a body of ants or like a hive of bees, under a chosen ruler, and the arrangem nt of the . nest and the formation of the web have been the work of the most perfect subdivision of labour, each individual spider performing its .hotted task, without interfering with that of Its neiglibmr. The Argyronet* Aquatics, the diving water spider, when isolated from its companions, builrls a cup Lite nest close to the top of the water, and the membrane which surrounds the body being transparent, when inflated with air, assumes the appearance ef, a glittering metallic substance. S o charged, the spider descends to the bottom in search of prey, but frequently is itself devoured by fish before it reaches its de-dilation. To guard against this,nature has taught it that unity is strength, and when acting together in a body, the web ins so strong and of such dimensions, that fish themselves are entrapped and become food for the colony. The immense activity of the spider, continually ascending and descending, glittering and bright in its airy dress, makes it one of the most amusingadditions to the vivarium, and the epider tank guards it from the danger to -which it is suhject if placed within the general aquariuw. GREENWICH.—James French, 25, and Wm. Janes, 19, dus t collectors ant donkey drivers, were pl.ccd at the bar charged with stealing a coat, the pr.ftperty of Mr. Robert Taxby, a retired naval officer, while in the performance of their calling. it appeared that the prisoners called at the ra shlence of prosecutor, situate in' Queen Elizabeth row, Greenwich-road, and were .engaged to carry out the dust. Janes was_ the internal operator, while French took care of the cart at the door. The servant of the house rem.iined iii the passage, and observed Janes, es he carfied out a basketful of dust before ~him knock , down one of six coats which weie hanging in the passage. She immedi ately replaced it, thinking it was an accident, and Janes, - after depositing - his load, returned for a second. On this occasion -- he contrived to carry off a coat by placing it on his basket, and while he returned for a third basketful, the cart was driven from the door by French. Ou the thiid load being taken to the door, Janes went after the cart, The following is a complete list of Members of t l ‘e late House of Commons and, on its return, the deposit was made, and a who have either voluntarily retired fourth journey performed, during which Janes from Parliament, who have been defeated in their at pulled at a second coat ; bu‘, being observed, the tempts at re-election : robbery of the first coat was detected, and Janes given into custody, the other man, for the time, escaping. On searching the cart, the coat was found concealed in the dust. THE OLD PARLIAMENT. Through the politeness of our worthy sheriff, Mr. S. J. Springer, we, last evening, paid a visit to R. J. M. Ward, who gave us the following confession in relation to the murder of his wife. Ward seemed to be deeply affected, frequently interrupting his disclosure by exclamations of deep sorrow and re gret for the crime he had committed, and giving us a full and complete disclosure of the same. After taking down his confessionwe read the same to him, when he pronounced it correct. We give it to our readers as we had it from his own lips, in the pre sence of the sheriff and others :—" On Tuesday evening, Feb. 3, Mrs. Wart and myself had. some words, during which Mt s. Ward struck me onthe head with a fluid lainp, also on the right side of the nose causing the same to bleed freely. I begged her not to strike me, took the lamp away from her, and went to bed. We arose between 6 and 7 o'clock, on Wednesday morning. I spoke to her about the b'ow she had given me, showing her where she had stuck me on tae evening previous, also the blood on the bolster and tick. She said she wished I had bled to death, and, picking up a stick of hickory wood, she attempted to strike me. I warded off the blow, 'which fell upon my right thumb, laming it severely. The stick fell from her hand, and as she stooped to pick it up I seized a flatiron, and in the heat of passion struck her with it on the right side of the head, upon and under the ear, driving the earring into the flesh. She fell to the floor, ex claiming, " Werd, you have killed me 1' I dropped the flatiron, and went to her; she was lying on her side I turned her over on, her back, and placed a petticoat under her head, supposing she was only stunned. I use 1 all means in my power to restore her, but in half an hour she died, having only spoken once, Oh, my Nellie,' meaning, as I suppose, her little girl. I wrapped her head in a petticoat and e drew the body under the bed, to con ceal it in case any one should come iu. About half past 8 Wm. H. Nathan, a mulatto boy, came to the door with some milk. I went into the shop, took the milk from him and he left. I then went to Liba All grocery, bought a pound of sugar, and told him I was going away. I then returned to the house, and after a short time commenced cut ting 1113 the body. I tore the clothes open from the throat down. I then took a small pocket-knife and opened the body ; took out the bowels first, and then put them in the stove, upon the wood ; they being filled with air would make a noise in expl'd ing, so I took my knife, and pricked holes through them, to prevent the noise ; then took out the liver and heart, aed put them in the stove ; found it very difficult to burn them; bad to take the poker and frequently stir them before they could be destroyed ; I found the lungs very much de cayed. I took out the blood remaining in the ca vity of the body by . placing a copper kettle close to the same, and scooping it out with my hands. I then dipped portions of her clothing in the same, and burnt it together, fearing, if I put the blood in the store alone, that it might be dis covered. then made an incision through the flesh, along down each side, broke off the ribs and took out the breast bone, and throwing it into a large boiler, unjointed the arms at the shoulders,, doubled them up and placed them in the boiler ; then severed the remaining portions of the body by placing a stick of wood under the back and break ing the backbone over the same, cutting away the flesh and ligament with a knife ; then tried to sever the head from the body.; it proving ineffectual, I put the whole upper portion of the body in the boiler ; then took a large carving knife and severed the lower portions of the body, unjointed the legs at the knee, and again at the hip-joint ; cut the thighs open, and took out the bones . and burnt them up ; they burnt very rapidly. On Thuisday night I commenced burning the body, by placing the upper and back portions of the same, together with the head, iu the stove. On Friday morning, finding it had not been consumed, I bu It a large fire by placing wood around and under it, and in a short time it was wholly consumed, exalt some small portions of the larger bones of the skull. The remaining potions of the body were kept in the boiler and in tubs under the bed, covered up with a corded petticoat, and were there at the time the first search was made on Saturday by constable Curtis. Hearing on Saturday evening that the citizens were not satisfied with the search made by Mr. Curtis, I proceeded on Sunday morn ing to destroy the remainder of the body, by burning the same in the stove, cutting the fleshy parts of the thighs iu small strips, the more readily to dispose of them.. On Monday morning I took up the ashes in a small keg, sifting out the larger pieces of bone with my hands, placing the same in my overcoat pockets, which I scattered in various places in the fields at different times. Also took the major portion of the trunk nails, together with the hinges, and scattered them in different places. I then blunt her trunk and every vestige of her clothing, disposing of small portions at a time, to prevent their creating too much smoke." On the 6th inst., R. J. M. Ward, the murderer, was brought in, dressed as usual in a full suit of black, appearing much downcast, and as the Court commanded him to stand up, he arose, breathing heavily, his eyes fixed upon the floor, and only momentarily seeking the face of the judge. With one hand he leaned heavily on the chair, while the other hung trembling at his side. After the judge had pronounced sentence of death Ward knelt down, and, leaning on the chair, buried his face in his hands, weeping and groan ing. He was suffered to remain thus for a few moments, as the forms of adjourning the court till the afternoon were gone through with, when Sheriff Springer, touched him on the shoulder and he arose, apparently much more composed, and was taken to the gaol.—l'oledo Commercial, April 6. have not to apologise for omissions ; yet we cannot omit that no Reform Bill will satisfy the people, once roused on the subject, tha,s does not disfran chise a score or two of the small borough., give new members to the metropolis and other populous dis tricts, and infuse new blood into the thin constitu encies of the were agricultural counties. There can hardly be a question as to these requirements ; it is common sense to grant them, temerity to re fuse them. There is plenty of time to weigh all these demands and obviate the several difficulties in their way between this and next February ; but that must be done 'by the Minister, who would hope to have a quiet berth to do any good in the session of 1858. DEATH OF MR. JOHN M`G.REGO.R. We have to record the death of Mr. John M'Gregor, at Boulogne, on Thursday, the 23d inst. He bad bee.i for some months pest declining in health—oppressed by pecuniary difficulties, and painfully involved in the fall of the Royal British Bank, of which he had been the original " go vernor." He had resigned that office three years previous to its recent bankruptcy, but the late dis closures as to the mismanagement of the institution, and his own considerable and unsecured debt to the unfortunate shareholders, overwhelmed a shattered body and a wounded spirit. A bilious fever and paralytic affection, we believe, terminated his physical and mental sufferings. Our respected Con sul, Mr. Hamilton, kindly afforded Mr. M'Gregor every necessary domestic and medical attention, and for the previous week his brother watched over his deathbed. Notwithstanding the later clouds on Mr. M'Gregor's reputation, and his errors and foibles, be was an intellipiat, amiable man, of no common mind, of extraordinary powers of application, and his active public life and his numerous pubiisbed works justly entit'e him to notice in our columns. Mr. Jphn M'Gregor was a Scetchman by birth, parentage, and education. He was born at Stor noway, Ross-shire, in 1797. ,We believe that at an early age, enjoying only au ordinary scLool teaching, be was placed in a mercantile establish ment in the Canadls, where he continued several years. During that period, and afterwards when in business on his own account, be visited; and be came intimately acquainted with the colonies of North America on the Atlantic and within the Gulf of the St. Lawrence. He was afterwards in business in Liverpool. His mercantile specula tions were there unfortunate, and, indeed, rarely at any period of life successful. He first became known as an author by the publication, in 1832, of two octavo volumes, entitled " British America," published by Blackwood and Cadell. This work reached a second and improved edition in the fol lowing year. It was not only at the period highly interesting, but it abounded in facts and statistics, and it displayed a large comprehension of our future colonial interests. It may even now be con sulted with advantage. On Mr. M Gl.regor's enforced retirement from business, his object in life seems to have been some employment in the public service. Accord ing!y, during Lord Melbourne's Ministry we find him engaielon commercial missions to Germany, Aus tria, Paris, and Naples. We need not particu larise his multifarious reports, or comment on their indisputable merits or shortcomings. It wilL be sufficient to state that his missions were generally well peiformed—that they advanced sound princi ples of political economy, and that on the whole the product was worth the cost to the public Ex chequer. In 1835 he published "My Note Book," dedicated to his friend Sismondi. This work was chiefly. a personal narrative of his tours on the con tinent. It was an amusing con'ribution to the stock of our circulating libraries, interspeved with some instructive no. ices of the social habits of our continental neighbours. Curiously, a note in the :ant volume details the ruin of the old bank of Amsterdam, instituted in 1689 as a bank of deposit —" broken by an inconvenient mode of transfer ring sums from the account of one individual to another," and by the directors secretly lending and "locking up" 10,000,000 florins to the ppivinces of Holland and Friesland,, notwithstanding its original constitution bound the directors to have 'illion in their coffers equal to the amount of its liabilities. This old story might hive saved our author from much misconduct of the Royal British Bank. But theory and practice are diff,-rent affairs. These literary labours and occasional - public commissions ultimately led to Mr. M`Gregor's appointment to a permanent place in the Board of Trade, and he became one of the:two joint secretaries of that important public department in January, 1840. Thus instilled . in Whitehall, he lost no time in agitatinc , tor Free Trade. We believe that, with the late' James Deacon Hume and George Richardson Porter, he chiefly induced Mr. Joseph Hume to force upon the House , of Commons the appointment of the celebrated Select ,Committee on the Import Duties of the United Kingdom : the report of which, aft r only 10 days' sitting, sealed the fate of our super annuated tariff. The " power to send for pPr , ons, papers, and records " ransacked the Board of Ti ade and let loose the tongues of the joint-secretaries. Mr. M'Gregor was, of course, the first witness sum moned. His examination exclusively occui.ied the entire first two days, and portions of tbe third and fourth days. It has been the-fashion to say that he "lied through his testimony." The imputation is untrue. His dogmatic confidence of opinion, with an occasional reckless statement, gains indeed a colour to this accusation, but the only resource of his opponents was unfairly to discredit his im portant evidence ; and, the Protectionists not pr ,- ducing any counter-evidence, thisslander was their only alternative. But any dispassionate reader will now give credit to the general and valu able evidence of Mr. M‘Gregor. Further, he was con firmed by the more reliable evidence of Deacon HUMS and Porter, to say nothing of the corrobora tive testimony of some of our most eminent city and provincial merchants and manufacturers. The elation of Mr. ' M‘Gregor thenceforwards knew' no bounds. He was exalted inhis own imagi nation to fie fifth heaven. Vanity was one of ,tbe passions which poor John M‘Gregor, from an unf)rtunate 'nature and habit, could not control; and the abuse of it was, iu truth, his worldly ruin. It made him often the laughing-stock even of his intimate friends; and in later years he perambu lated the Clubs, unconscious of the general ridicule of his vain gloriousness. This inordinate self valuation involved him in the firm persuasion that from his secondary office in the Board of Trade he should at (ince vault to a seat in Lord John Rus sell's new Cabinet. He intimated this certain con viction to alt his fri ,, tidi and acquaint3nces. In this dream ho r s'gned his office of 1,5001. per an num, and having pre arrangel his plans he became a candidate for th 4 city of Glasgow in July, 1847, op:',Dsi!ig the old Liberal members, Mr. Oswald and Mr. John Dennistoun. Unfortunately for himself he headed the poll. We 'iced not enlarge on the utter failure t,f his absurd aspirations, or on the bore and j , ,sts of his o;:cas'onal exhibitions in the House cf Commons. He did not appear to discover his failure, much less to feel its tium , liation ; nor, to do him jus tice, did he relax in his statistical and in tellectual pursuits. In 1847 he had produced two hinge crown octavo volumes, historical and stati-tical, on "The Progress of America from the Discovery by Columbus to the Year 1846," com prising 3,000 pa':es. '1 his work was no sooner off his anvil than h., published four large volumes of similar size, entitled "Commercial Statistics. These volumes, in bulk upwards of 4,000 pages, all rapidly appeared tetween the years 1848 and 1850. In 1852 he published two octavo volumes, entitled "The History of the British Empire from the Ac nessiorr of Jamea I." Nor were these voluminous works at alt the largest product of his active mind. Earlier in life, in the Canadas, he had prepared reports on North American emigration, on the New foundland fisheries, and on similar Transatlantic subjec's ; and we have to add to his home produc tions 22 "Reports cm Foreigo Tariffs and Trade," presented to Parliament by Royal command. To be added to this summary of his labours are numerous pamphlets on subjects of the day, and an extent of private political and statistical correspondence at home and abroad almost incredible. On the subject of the Royal British Bank, whieh he est ib ished, Mr. M'Gregor would take no coun sel, or if he promised to abide by any friendly advice he was sure to relapse to his own opinion i,f his entire self-sufficiency. The end is but too well known. Such is the melancbo!y history of a man of high intellectual "tower:, energy, and industry, who might have sccured for himself weAith, honour, and old - age. We almost reluctantly thus portray his full cuaracter, but such a narrative was due to so ciety, and Mr. M`Grogor was a public man. He had not a single qualificstion fur the governorship of a bank, as he confessed in the singular letter in which be promised to make a future explanation of his administration of its affairs. We bclieve that lie was m,re a nominal than an active mana...-er in the chair. No friend would attempt to excuse his assumpti , n o f d u ti es w hi c h b e c mid not or would not d!schs rgs ; ncr can there be offered any ext enus t'" of 1111 approptiation of the assets represented by hit own private debt—now a dead . la.s to the fi aroholl.7-3.

Now if the statements made th-3rein be true, and we see no reason to dis credit them, they prove that a gross act of injustice has been committed upon the writer, which it is to be hoped his Royal Highness the Commander-in • Chief will immediately endeavour to remedy : "Sir,-1 am a sergeant of nearly three years, lately retired from the 17th Lancers, at the early age of 213 years, solely in consequence of being passed over, most unjustly, in the rewards and honours that have been bestowed. I ate now made drill sergeant in the Sher- wood Rangers, Mansfield, by its nobl, colonel, his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, and, wishing my felbw men to know how unjustly I have been treated, I beg of you to allow rae a place in your columns, so generously open to private as well as public grievances, to. state toy services as briefly as possible. "After being at the Altos I was present with my regi ment in every engagement that took place. I charged at Balaklava with my squadron until it was nearly andihilated, my own lanais being shot; away. Drawing try sword I galloped on to the Russian guns, and a-sis ted in cutting down the gunuers. On the right of Our forming line I observed one particular gun going away as fast as the horses could take it. I 'went after it with Captain Jervis of the 13th Light Dragoons, who shot one of the horses and delayed its progress. On this Ii engaged two of the gunners, who both fell. It now became a 'struggle for our lives, as a large body of Cossacks surrounded us. I succeeded in working my way through them, and galloped in the direction of what I judged to be our own Hussars. I found they were Russians reforming. I forced my way on full speed through them unhurt. A regiment of Polish Lancers, 800 strong, had formed across the valley. I halted a moment to look around. Perceiving several of our cavalry in the same dilemma, I called to them, and being then a corporal I used what authority I had to form them as well as I could. We gathered 12, and charged their centre ; most of us got through. I believe three fell: These men were 4:;h and 13th Light Dragoons and 17th Lancers ; one was of the Bth Hussars. I received the point of a lance in the right hand ; the wound was slight. The Russian infan try now opened a heavy fire up •n us, and, after gallop ing through the guns of the enemy in advar:ce of us, each man separated, trusting to fate. Private James. Cope and, Private James Wightman, now corporals of the 17th Lancers, were of the number. Wigh,mae as severely wounded, and taken prisoner for 12 months. • "On the sth of November, 1554, I was at the battle of lnkerman, arid under fire. Cornet Cleveland was shot ; and when nor regiment was ordered to retire I asked Captain Morgan to allow me to fall out of the ranks to assist' in carrying Mr. Cleveland off toe field. Troop Sergeant Major O'Hara anti Private Jas. of the same regiment, also fell out for that pun.ose. Iu performing that act joules O'Hara and myself had both our drsoi caps shot off our heads by a c moron MlllOll bal. We still pursued our duty till out or range, w• ere the cornet wished to be laid do en till .a s.r tcher was procured. This officerdied. While stitioned at Balak lava I was one of the detachment ordered for the Baidar Val ley. On one occasion I was eriga,ed in the reconnoire ring party in misaiice of the party that took possession of General Chateloof's house, near the .Worinizoff road. Two of the Laird Trcnsport Corps and several mules were wounded and one killed, when the corps deer ed the waggon, and I was the sergeant. who lid a detac - latent of my regiment to the spot, when the Russians, on our approach, fled into the wood, and I placed my men on vidette, which the main body had to retire upon. I may further add that I embarked with the regiment at the first commencement of the war. I served under 'Lord Cardigan at Devno Yeni-Bazar at the time when disease greatly prevailed. At. this time I had the honour to be seiereed as cor poral of a letter patty stationed at Varna. The whole of the army despatches were c ,nveyed by our party, and I was often compelled, in consequence of the sickness of the men, to ride day and night without rest. " I was present in every skirmish in which my regi• merit was engaged, and I returned borne when the When in Ireland with my regiment campaign ended.troop officer why I did not get medal for distinguished conduct. Be told ine Fe was cony I did not, but it lay to the commanding officer's discretion. So it appears they are not tinguished conduct medals,' but discretion medal: There are several men in the 17th Lancers who wear rueslals for distlnsuisheil "conduct in the fieli of battle who never mosses' swords with a Russian. "This is my simple and truthful aaternent ; and I PARLIAMENTARY .pEFOR 31. (From the Times) Parliamentary Reform is now a Parliamentary question. This is no truism, for till quite lately it was a popular question, and one that had hardly shown itself within the walls of Parliament. It is now more Parliamentary than popular. Every where you are asked with much plausibility, and at least a w►de concurrence, " Who wants Reform ? Do you want another vote ? Do you ? Have you evert registered? When did you vote last ? Did you ever vote? Do you know who are your repre sentatives 1" These particular que,tions will be understood, of course, to apply to the metropolis ; but the metropolis, it must be considered, bas by far the strongest case, in the abstract, for Parlia mentary Reform in the whole empire. Its popula tion is the wealthi-e, the best educated, the most orderly, and the worst represented—that is, with the least proportion of members. Scotland, and even Ireland, are close boroughs compared with the metropolis. So, if the demand for Par liamentary reform is at zero in the metropolis, that settles the question as to its general popu larity. But all over the country it is a ram thing to find a cry for Parliamentary Reform. Doesthis country want more members? Is that flourishing borough indignant at its unrepresented state ? Where is the crowd of small yeomen, or even town householders, asking for county votes? We are speakiug only of the fact. The fact is, that while there never was a stronger case in theory for Re form, people generally seem to feel it only as a matter of theory. But, granting all this—and it natters not to our purpose whether it is granted or not—how does it affect the question which a Go vernment has to ask itself When a Cabinet meets at a critical season, and asks whether or when it. shall enter on the field of Parliamentary Reform, can it venture to rely on the fact that there is no present palpable " pressure from without" on the subject ! No, it cannot ; for the obvious reason that this is now a Parliamentary, not a popular question. At any reasonable time—next year, for example—for it hardly seems reas - mable to destroy a Parliament before it has even broken its shell and seen the light of day—anybody may rise up and propose this or that partial measure, or a full grown reform bill, with the fairest chance of carry ing the House with him, and putting the Minister into a most unpleasant situation. Bht, bad as that would be, a worse contingency is possible, and, in our opinion, even probsble. It is, that on the re jection of such a bill by a well-disciplined Ministe rial majority, the country might be raised in its favour, and the Parliamentary converted into a popular question. In such an out-door agitation there might be faction, there might be hypocrisy, there might be pure mischief, but that matters little ; an agitation begun under these circum stances would take its course, and carry the day, to the great damage of all politicians foolhardy enough to set their faces against it. S,o it is enough for the present purpose that this is a Parliamentary, capable of being turned, at a very short notice, into a popular, question. To anttcipatc such an agitation—and it ought to be anticpated—we must consider on what points it would run. For that inquiry an abvious clue is to be found in the theoretical defects of the existing system. Th , se defects may now seem ridiculous. They may seem but shadowy grievances; statistical ghosts, giants on paper ; but they are the channels and. the hollows in which the inundation will run and diffuse itself when the bank has burst. Every spectral anomaly, each disparity of figttres and ec centricity of proportion, that now shows only an arithmetical or superficial or linear existence, will then assume a substantial and tremendous vitality. The people of England now repose upon Parlia• went, and aro quiet ; Le:iause, though they know .the representative syst..m to be vtry defective, they think Parliament will set it right in due time, and thaibefore very long. But this flat!eiing con fidence ought not to be abused. With the memo ries of the last Reform Bill before us, we stroogiy deprecate the logic cf waiting titl the pressure is too strong tube 1 existed. At present, we may say, the game is in the bands of the more educated, the more enlightened, and the more political classes. Government, and those of whom Governments are made, have still the initiative. The day may not be distant when the ground will be occupied with seme huge, misshapen, irrational creature of mis • rule, too strong to he displaced, and but a sorry subject for correction. We may have to deal with the popular Reform. Bill, an affair of points and first principles, made expressly ti awake the agita tions of which it affects to be the fruit. There are stAtestnen in the House of Commons who might think it worth their while, and not below their character, to adopt such a battle-horse. But if, as we fully believe, • a Reform Bill, of one kind or another, will be passed before long, • then we submit it is very desirable that the first conception and the rough draught of the bill should come from those who have to mould the plastic material to the intended shape,aud cut the block to the model. If Lord Palmerston has to give us a Reform Bill, we trust he will have Ills own materials to work upon. Now, there are materials, 'or general principles, of Parliamentary Reform of confessed importance, but more likely, judging from experience, to pro ceed from Ministers and legislators than from out door agitators. The latter feel themselves under no special obligation to guard the franchise from disorder and abuse. It is not their affair, though they might not object to see it done by others. It is not the office, or always the interest, of a publi can to stop intoxication, though he does not wish his customers to go too far, and is glad to see the po'ice, •doing - their duty. But certainly it is the business of a Minister still possessing the initiative in Pitrliamentary Reform to provide that the fran chise shall. go together as much as possible with the best qualifications for its proper exercise—edu cation, character, and responsible employment. It certainly is more important to give it to those who are proved to be intelligent, and whose place in society shows them to be trustworthy, than to those -who a're certainly indigent, certainly ignorant, and probably corrupt. If a large proportion of the latter must be admitted to square our system and remove invidious exceptions, it is a'l the more advisable to secure the cerrec'ing influences of education and position. We fully admit there are great practical difficulties to be encountered in giving a political status to the free denizens of the intellec tual world. In respect of rates, and even taxes, they may. be "'airy nothing '" without "a l )cal hab:ta tion or a name." But the whole question of . Pa rliamentary Reform is one of difficulties, and we do not see why they are to be weakly admitted , igaicst the highest and best elements of our soc:al system, and boldly encountered only for the sake of toe lowest.. iWhatever the objections which reason or wit may suggest, no principle cis b 3 allej;ed to the members of ,ill the agai.nst giving vot le? rn ' dons, to all univenity era, tutees and r ificate-i from auth ori-ed Co!leges and to t e commissiored officers , of the Army, Navy, and Militia, to railway servants of a certain rani, to schoolmasters, and many more of similar qualifications. On the other hand, while we are opening the doors, and to a ceitaie extent relaxing these restrictions which are proved by printed lists and rate-books, it might serve to countoract the dangers of this coorse if we insisted more ou the personal qualifications ieseparable from the eleAor. Why not require each min to write his own name and vote at the p dlire:-booth ? That would exclude the wholly uueducated . ; and, even if the younger hands could get up a sign manual and a name for the occasion, as every rogue once learnt his neck verse, still that would itself be a first step in learning, and might lead to higher achievements in the field of literature. We have now been passing, the whole population through schools for hdf a century. We have had infant Belnola in 'every town in Eng'and for more than thirty years ; and, if there has - not been a strictly nation 1 system of education, it has not bees through the fault of Governments, or for want of carefully studied proposals. The very objection which has prevailed against the nationel plan has been the sufficiency of private enterprise. So it is high time to reap the fruits of a literary age, and to require from every man what it must be his own fault if he cannot do —ono hue of writing. We have no bias whatever en this point, and if any c h ance ef an unfair opera ion does present ',itself, it is rather in favour o f th e th i n -f i ngered and supple artisan than the huge fist and horny palm of the field labourer. The provision, how ever, is one to be considered on its ow n merits. The results of the late electi ,n suggest another proposal, often made, and with MuA to h • 0 Silil for it. When we see some of the mo t important constituencies in the empire bringing in two 'eendi dates with 6,000 votes, and throwing out two .others eith 5,000, or perhaps 5,W3, it is itnpossi ble not to be sensible of a potiticeloss to the Legis lature in the non-return of two goo 1 men, and a positiv e injury in the virtoai non-representation of COCO eketots for a while Pali anent. In the ease efthe "unicorn" ceemties, the retrtin of the three in'inewra by a lan gu id corisL'6l l 'nei • just strong enough and deeidtd enou;-h t bi Chvided iute in jority and a minority, is a still retie, flagrant in jeBtice, and one without even long prescription in fevorr.
