I n vs 121 pm THE SUN, LEON ))ON, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARtY 5; 1857, CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day.) OLD COURT. (BFfore Mr. Justice Wightman.) THE CITY OF LONDON UNION FRAUDS. John Paul, 60 years of age, and stated in the Calen dar to be of good education, was placed at the bar this morning to plead to a number of indictments, charging him with fraud and forgery whilst engaged as assistant clerk to the City of London Union. The prisoner pleaded not guilty to each of them. The first case proceeded with was that charging him with stealing an order for payment for 3281. 153., the property of the Guardians of the Poor of the City of London Union. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. M'lntyre appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Orridge defended the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Heath, one cf the guardians, that the cheque in question was given to the prisoner to pay to Messrs. Kingsford and Co., con tractors for flour to the board, who bad a large account against them. The cheque was drawn on Smith, Payne, and Co., the Union bankers. Mr. Eldred, late a clerk to 'the Union, drew the cheque, and said that it was known to himself and the board that the prisoner was in the habit of paying the Union cheques to hie own bank, and repaying the amounts by cheque on his own bankers. The cheques of the Union were generally drawn by witness, as well as those on the prisoner's bankers. The practice was to make out a list of accounts varying from 21. and 31. to 10/., and have a cheque drawn for the aggregate amount, which averaged about 1201. The cheques for these ag gregate accounts did not amount to several 1,0001. in the year. In 1850 printed instructions were issued for the direction of the officers, and he believed they had been acted on ever since. Mr. Heath recalled, said that the cheque should have been paid over to Messrs. Kingsford and Co. It was drawn on the 2d September, 1856, and he found it in the prisoner's private drawer cancelled on 17th December. Toe cancelled cheques were in the custody of the pri soner. The prisoner had no authority to pay the cheque into his bankers. If it had been known by the members of the board that he paid the cheques into his banker's he would have been suspended whilst an inquiry was instituted ; and Eldred, the other witness, was discharged in consequence of his not making the board acquainted with the prisoner's practice in that respect. Evidence was then given to show that the cheque was paid into the prisoner's banker's, the London Bank, and its being cashed by Smith, Payne, and Co. to the for mer. It should have been paid to Messrs. Kingsford and Co.'s bankers. Mr. Rowsell, clerk to the Union, deposed that when an inquiry was made in reference to the cheque the prisoner said he had used the raoney for his private pur poses. In cross-examination the witness said it was part of his duties to keep check and examine the state of the accounts ; but he did not do it personally, because it was impossible. He believed the accounts were checked and examined by the auditors. By Mr, Bailantioe—And you are required to read all acts of Parliament relating to the poor, and "under stand them 7" (Laughter.) Mr. Justice Wighttnan (with surprise)—ls that in the instructions ? Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—No ; there is nothing so monstrous in them. The latter is an addition of mine. Mr. Justice Wightman—l was rather surprised to bear you state it, and I was at first under the impression it was contained in the instructions. The Cashier of Messrs. Kingsford and Co. was called, and proved that they never received the cheque. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Sergeant BAlantine, in addressing the jury for the prisoner, said that this case had been brought before them on public grounds, and added that it was net un frequently the case that gentlemen holding public offices discovered the great importance of their public duties when the public were not likely to be benefitted by them. If these gentlemen whose public duties were now strongly impressed on them, had attended more to their public duties, in all probability the rate-payers would not have suffered to any amount whatever. The learned sergeant complained of the witnesses that had been called for the prosecution, unacquainted with the practice of the board, instead of calling these who must be well aware of his duties, his appointment and instructions and his prac tice of paying Union cheques into his own bankers, and afterwards repay the accounts by cheques drawn by him, they had calied only Mr. Heath, who had only been a guardian about twelve months. The questions for the onsideration of the jury were first, the position, duties, and habit of per'orming them by the prisoner ; and secondly, whether or no, when he paid the cheque into his own banker's, he intended to steal it, for if not there could be no case of theft. If he paid it into his banker's to repay Messrs. Kingsford and Co. when they called, but in the meantime overdrew his account, and then used the money, it was not a theft, but a gross violation of duty, however much they might condemn such conduct. It was but one of a vast number of transactions carried on in an irregular manner without system,—without check, control, or inquiry, and showing an entire disregard of the public service, in the cause of which the prisoner had fallen into irregularities and had been tempted into dishonesty. He urged on them that this was but an act of the course pursued with the knowledge of the guardians, and that consequently it was their duty to acquit the prisoner. The learned judge, in summing up, remarked that the evidence showed that the board of guardians had no knowledge of the practice adopted by the prisoner of paying cheques into his own bank and repaying the amount by cheque.] of his own, and that if they had known it they would have suspended him. It was a question for the jury whether or no, from the evidence, they were satisfied that at the time the prisoner intended to canvert the cheque to his own use. The jury retired to consider their verdict, and after an absence of 50 minutes returned into court with a verdict of Guilty against the prisoner. No evidence was offered on the other indictments, His Lordship, in passing sentence on the prisoner, said it must have struck every person who had heard the case, as being one of those cases which excited not merely regret but surprise. They found a man apparently himself respectable—in a very respectable situati , with a salary and advantages that placed him not only in a position much above want, but in a state of comparative ease and comfort. It was, as he bad stated, with mingled feelings of regret and surprise they heard of such persoas being guilty of such a crime as this of which he had been con victed, and which there was every reason to believe had been practised by him to a great extent. The extentof the transactions of such an establishment as the City of Lon don Union must naturally lay it open to the depreda tions of dishonest servants, and there was a system laid down for theguidance of the servants which if barely acted up to by them must throw great difficulties in the way of the committal of such frauds. It appeared however that they had not been attended to as they ought to have been, but that there had been great failure in the strict examination and checking of accounts, and the result had been the commission of fraud to a most extra ordinary extent. They had heard of late of most extensive frauds practised under circumstances nearly of a similar kind, and where confidence b a d been fearful y abused. The prisoner's was a case of great aggravation, and be (the learned judge) felt it to be his duty to pass on him the highest sentence allowed by law for such an offence, and be ordered him to be transported for fourteen years. The prisoner then bowed and retired. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. —(This Day.) Fre L sh bre ONDON ez , e and thawing. Feb. s. —W ind this d a y a t noon S .— Cardiff and St. Thom 4. PmfouTrt, Feb.

MR. MAYHEW AA D THE TICKET-OF LEAVE MEN. At the Marlborough-street P. lice-court yesterday Mr. Henry Davies, of No. 22, Buckingham-street, Strand, solicitor, made an application to the magistrate for a summons against the writer of a letter signing himself "Ned Salmon," a ticket-of-leave man. The letter upon which this application was based had been sent to the private residence of his client, Mr. Henry May hew, and was of so filthy and coarse a description that he would not attempt to read the whole of it to the court, but he would confine himself to those pas sages which he thought would justify the magistrate in granting the summons he applied for. The writer began by avowing himself to be the same person who attacked Mr. Mayhew at the last ticket-of-leave meeting, held at Farringdor Hall, the Earl of Carnarvon in the chair, and concluded with the following threat "Some of us will meet you when you least expect it—you and the likes of you ; and the -- parsons may preach about our black deeds and garotting. They know nothing about such. They may save themselves any trouble about me. Blast you, and the whole set. You would all give us over to that respectable gentleman, Mr. Cal craft, the hangman. Now, old ft-now, old -- gentle man Mayhew, look out for squalls, for we will have a watch upon you and your designs. If you should happen to be garotted, you would not come off so well as a good many. Why don't you give us some tin." Mr. Davies said that he held in his hand a letter from Earl Carnarvon, dated Jan. 10, requesting Mr. Mayhew, as a favour, to call this meeting for him, as his lordship wished to inquire into the subject previous to the meet ing of Parliament, and Mr. Mayhew had complied with the request in the hope that the men might be benefited by the proceeding. Mr. Davies further stated, that to show the animus of the speaker at the last meeting and the writer of the present letter, he had come provided with a second letter threatening proceedings in the County Court against Mr. Mayhew unless he paid a further sum of 3/. 2e. 6d. for the board and lodging of a returned convict wbom his client bad been keeping for a considerable time at his own expense. Mr. Mayhew had already paid 101., and finding it had been applied to no good purpose had declined to submit to further extortion ; and that, he (Mr. Davies) believed, was the sole cause of the malice of the speaker at the meeting and the threat of the writer of the letter. The magistrate, after reading the letter handed in, observed that it was so gross and brutal a threat, that if Mr. Davies was in a position to prove the handwriting, he should feel it his duty to grant a warrant rather than a summons against the man. Mr. Davies replied that he was unfortunately not able to produce evidence of the handwriting, but he wished the magistrate to understand that if the opinion got abroad among the ticket-of-leave men that Mr Mayhew was a spy among them, and went among them solely to injure and degrade them still more in public estimation, it would be as much as his life was worth to visit them in their haunts again. The magistrate, in reply, remarked that he sat there, not only to do justice to Mr. Mayhew, but to the ticket-of-leave men as well. He had carefully read the whole account of the meeting, and from the feeling manifested by the men against the speaker, it was pro bable that the letter had originated from some of those present, as a spite against the man who had made the charges against Mr. Mayhew. Under these circum stances he was obliged to refuse the application. PUBLIC PARKS FOR TilE METROPOLIS, At a special meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works, the report of the committee upon this subject, which has already been published, was presented to the board ; and a deputation of vestrymen and rate payers from Mile-end, Poplar, and Limehouse attended, with plans and estimates for a new road from the East India-road to the Mile-end New-road, and for improving the Grove-road, to form a communication between Limehouse and Victoria-park. It was urged by Mr. G. F. Yoang that Lord Duncannon, when First Commissioner of Woods and Forests, promised such a road should be made. The plans were referred to the committee. Mr. Wright then moved " That im mediate measures be taken for the establishment of two parks, one in the southern and one in the northern part of the metropolis, as recommended by the "Works Committee; and that, apart from any contribution to be obtained from Government, the expense be equally assessed upon the whole metropolis." He ob served that in the western portions of the metropolis there were seven parks, but in the eastern part there was but one open space, Victoria-park. His motion to-day would involve an outlay of 100,0001., and 200,0001. for Islington ; but there was no doubt that the Government would contribute at least 50,0001. Mr. Savage seconded the motion, and said that less than a farthing rate in the pound, spread over a period of 40 years, would defray the whole expense of making these two parks. Mr. D'lffanger moved as an amendment that after the word "metropolis " in Mr. Wright's mo tion, that the words " and for the purchase of Hamp. stead-heath "be added. The amendment was negatived by 25 to 3, and Mr. Wright's motion carried by 20 to 8. On the motion of Mr. Wright it was resolved to com municate with the government about the purchase of Hampstead-heath, and a resolution was also passed adopting the proceedings of the Islington vestry with reference to the Finsbury-park, and undertaking to pro mote the bill in the House of Commons. The City Com mis-ion of Sewers at their meeting on Tuesday unani mously agreed to oppose the Finsbury-park Bill if it should attain to a second reading in the House of Com mons. The ground of opposition is the additional charge on the ratepayers of the City which is proposed by the bill. MARKET NEWS. —(This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE.

SUICIDE AT THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CONVENT, CHELSEA. —Yesterday afternoon Mr. Wakley held an inquest in the School-room of the Roman Catholic Convent, Cado gan-terrace, Sloane-square, Chelsea, respecting the death of a young girl named Mary Read, aged 18 years. The deceased on last Thursday morning went to a druggist's shop, and obtained some oxalic acid whereby she de stroyed her life. After evidence had been beard, a ver dict was returned to the effect that the poor girl had committed suicide when in a state of insanity. SOUTHAMPTON ELECTION.—SOUTHAMPTON, Wednes day.—The writ was received here this morning, and pro claimed from the front of the Audit-house at noon, The returning officers have fixed Monday next for the nomi nation, and Tuesday for the p(lling. Large and enthu siastic meetings of the friends of Mr. Andrews and Mr. Wegw lin were held last night—the latter at the Vic toria-rooms, and the former in his extensive carriage bazaar, which had been cleared out for the purpose. The meetings were addressed by the respective candi dates and several of their supporters. The excitement continues unabated, and all parties speak confidently of their success. Sir Edward Butler holds no meetings, trusting to his canvass and the split in the Liberal ranks to secure his election. THE SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL SOCIETY.-- The annual meet ing of this society was held yesterday at the office, 86, King William-street ; Vice-Admiral Sir Henry Hope, K.C.8., in the chair. The report stated that the society has been instrumental in saving life and restori ng h ea l th to many thousand seamen. The society continues to receive generous contributions in aid of its funds, the statement of accounts from the let Janua r y t o the 31st December, showing receipts (with balance from the pre ceding year and loans from bankers) to the amount of 21,1251.

Maule, seconded by Mr. Le Breton, the report was adopted, and, the committee for the ensuing year having been elected, the meeting separated with the usual vote of thanks to the chairman. MONUMENT TO LAD Y VICTORIA TALBOT.—Ernesto Cali, an eminent Italian sculptor, is now completing a monumental figure which, as it is intended for erection in a church in England, deserves to be mentioned. It is in memory of the be au tif u l L ady Victoria Susan Tal bot, who died in Naples last summer. The figure re poseson a Pompeian couch, in the same attitude in which she lay after death. In her hands she holds a bouquet of lilies, emblems of purity. About the middle of the couch, also, in alto-relievo, is a cross, and lower down near the foot is a candelabrum. The folds of the drapery are easy and natural, and the composition good. The bust of Lady Victoria, which is to surmount the monu ment, issaid to be a g rea t l i k eness, an d i s very beautiful. This work, whilst it reflec's credit on the taste and exe cution of Ernesto Cali, will be a valuable addition to our collection of ecclesiastical art in England. Cab's name is not unknown in England ; and in Naples he carried off the great gold medal at the exhibition in 1855 for a figure in silver of Sto. Rocco, now deposited in the Cathe dral.— WaVetiompton c4ronie6 LITERATURE rigin and Progress of the India- Rubber Manu facture in England. By Thomas Hancock. Long man, Brown, Green, Longmans, and Roberts. The author of this work has long and deservedly been recognised as the father of the above important branch of th e ar t s . Th oug h o th ers h ave contri buted, to a cer t a i n ex t en t , i n promo ti ng th e appli cation of ca ou t c h ouc to use f u l purposes, to him belongs the honour of having led the way, and done more than any other individual, to render this long intractable article subservient to the com fort, protection , a n d genera l serv i ce of t h e com munity. It is, therefore, with more than ordinary interest we follow him through this narrative of his thirty years' experience in India-rubber manu facture. A personal narrative, it is true, in so much as it relates to his own doings, but possessing the further claim to be considered by no means a dis tant approximation to a history o f w h at has been done in this direction. This will partly appear from the nature of the patents he possesses and the periods at which he took them out. Thus so far back as April 29, 1820, we find him obtaining a patent for the application of India-rubber to articles of dress ; in 1830, to articles of ornament ; in 1843, for vulcanising ; in 1847, for vulcanised solutions. Ten other patents, including ropes and cordage, expanding cushions, dough sheets, ob taining forms by moulds and printing, being further accorded him in the several intervals. Perhaps the most interesting portion of the narra tive is that w hi c h records h i s early experiments and discoveries. Throughout, however, we can not but admire the intelligence, patience, and perseverance so conspi cuous l y man if este d . I n this aspect the narrative affords a lesson the young , may learn with advantage. The work is illus trated, and contains a likeness of the author. Among the illustrations we have fac-similes of the plants from which caoutchouc is obtained. A good deal of information is given respecting them, and the way in which they are made to yield their invaluable juice. The question of future supply does not escape Mr. Hancock's attention, and he points to India as the quarter where the caoutchouc bearing plants may be cultivated with profit, and to an extent commensurate with any conceivable demand. We trust his more than hint will be taken by the Indian cultivator, and that the production of so important an article of traffic will not be allowed to fall into other hands. Thii is the more to be desired since the use of India rubber is quite in its infancy, as the public would soon find were its employment rendered less ex pensive by a constant and abundant supply. Seven Churches •f Asia. By the Rev. Robert Maguire, M.A. Knight and Son, Clerkenwell Close. A work which will be acceptable to a large sec tion of the Protestant community. The author, who belongs to what is called " the Evangelical party" in the Church of E igland, undertakes to exemplify the fact that the seven churches of Asia were designed to be " our ensamples," and that the several Epistles addressed by the Spirit were written "for our admonition." The lessons he teaches are couched in earnest and kindly phrase ology, and are enforced by a variety and aptness of illustration likely to render them of practical utility. THE BANK OF ENGLAND. Whether the Bank will adopt any new measures of restriction this week is a question that will depend upon the figures of the return to be published on Friday next. As the last return was not unfavourable, and the late Mexican arrival has furnished a supply of silver that will go far to, provide for the next remittance to India, an opinion is entertained by many that, notwithstanding the continuous nature thus far of the drain to the conti nent, the necessity for any immediate change may have been removed, and that with the prospect of some large receipts from Australia and a further considerable arrival of silver by the West India packet due on the 17th, it is ever probable that a return to higher rates may be alto gether averted. This possibilit is strentened by the fact that the existing state of the y money m a rkets found to exercise considerable influence in causing an economy of the coin circulation throughout the kingdom, as well as by the anticipation of occasional remittances of sove reigns from Constantinople, and the tendency observable during the last fortnight to a reduction in the rates of some of the continental banks. There is likewise reason to infer that the natural course of trade must soon ope rate to produce an easier state. It has for a considerable time been a cause of perplexity that the existing pressure should have been so long maintained. If the trade of the country, it might be asked, is more active and our profits larger than ever, how is it that these profits do not place no in a position of greater monetary ease 1 A high rate of interest may prevail all over the world as a consequence of the abundant openings for the employ ment of capital, but, however high the general rate may be, England, if she is drawing profits from other coun tries, should, at least, be relatively better supplied than any of them. A contrary result might be explained by commitments to foreign leans or public works, but it is certain that, even allowing for the Indian outlay, we have not gone in these matters to any undue length. Assuming the correctness of these views, the only solu tion that presents itself is that the demand must have been caused by private operations, partly consisting of an extension of enterprise by individual firms who have furnished their correspondents with capital for employ ment abroad, especially in India and China, and partly of continental investments and advances induced by the depression on the various Bourses. In that case it must clearly be impossible to speculate as to the period when an alteration will be witness ed. It may occur forth with, or not for many months. If capital is being em ployed in the purchase of foreign produce or securities to an extent to drive up the value of money here and lessen consumption, while it creates an inflation of prices at the producing places, the check will u l t i mately be found in the losses of the operators. If, on the other hand, nothing of this sort is carried on, there will be ground to rely that no long time can pass before we shall at least experience that degree of relative pecuniary ease which is the inevitable result of unwasted gains.— Tmes,Oity Article. THE WEATHER AND THE PARKS. - The opening of the Houses of Parliament has caused a great influx of members of the nobility and gentry to the metropolis, most of whom have visited the different royal parks to witness the thousands of persons who were enjoying the exhilarating; exercise of skating. From +he early hour of eight in the morning the carriage -drives in Hyde -park were literally studded with the rich equipages belonging to the aristocracy, filled with members of the nobility and their friends. The announcement that a night skating match was to come off can-ed a considerable number of ladies and gen tlemen to congregate upon the banks of the Serpentine, and not fewer than 15,000 persons were upon the ice. The Royal Humane Society's icemen were distributed over this river by direction of Chailier, the secretary, and Mr. Williams, the superintendent, and by the pre cautions thus adopted many lives were saved. The thermometer at the Royal Humane Society's re ceiving house at Hyde-park during Tuesday night re gistered 26, being 6 deg. of frost. At 9 yesterday morn ing the mercury rose 1 deg., and even at noon in t he sun the quicksilver rose no higher tha❑ 33, being only 1 deg. above freezing point ; but it did not stop at that point long, and at 5 o'clock last evening the glass had gone down to as low as 30 deg., and the mercury was then gradually descending, showing that there was every chance of the present severe weather continuing. The wind yesterday was north-east, and the weather remark ably fine. The proceedings upon the Serpentine were of a vety animated character, and comprised many matches of fancy, ornamental, and sharp skating, in which a great many gentlemen and ladies, as well as a large number of soldiers belonging to the Royal Horse Guards (Blue), and Scots Fusiliers, took part. A great many prizes were won during the day. At dusk a large number of linen drapers' assistants, belonging to the early closing move ment, proceeded to the Serpentine, and with lighted links disported themselves upon the ice for hours. The reflection from the flambeaux had a singular and at the same time picturesque effect. Mr. Superintend ent Wil liams, upon seeing so great a number of persons upon the ice, had a number of icemen sent out in case of any accident taking place ; but it was some hours before the parties could be induced to leave. Not lees than 10 per sons were removed to the Royal Humane Society's re ceiving -house with severe out heads, by falling ice, or by being cut by the points of skates, where their wounds were dressed. 's —Seven THE LONG WATER IN KENSINGTON-GARDEN i.uponhteir ladies, ventured upon the ice, and about hlem e 4 n thousand persons, including several elegant ly-s=cyl I gentle injured by falling.

ME TAX MEETING AT eIIELSEA.—A. crowded meeting against the income tax was held last evening at Lloyd's M d's Assembly Rooms, Chelsea ; M r . R. M a li ns , ~ .P., in the chair. Resolutions in savour of the immediate removal of the "war N.," and condemnatory of indiscriuninattly taxing precarious and permanent in comes were carr i ed unanimously. Messrs. West, Hawkins, A.rchbott, and o th er gentlemen, too k part in the proceedings, DAVIDSON v. DUNCAN. Now we are not going to question the correctnes s of this decision in point of law, and indeed it per ' fecfly accords with what we have always under stood to be the present law of libel, but we do most strongly dispute the policy of that law as applied to the p u bli s h ers of newspapers. The journalist who of his own mere notion, and maliciously, pub. lishes libellous matter ought doubtless to suffer for it. Such a man abuses and prostitutes the power which he wields, and converts it into an odious en. gine of oppression. But the case of " Dawson T. Duncan" is very different from this. It in merely the case of a journalist publishing in his newspaper the proceedings of a meeting , which might, so f ar as appears have been. attended by all England, if a ll England could have been squeezed into the room where it was held. In presenting the report to his readers, Mr. Duncan only did what they expected, and required at his hands, and what they would hare severaly repro.. bated him for not doing. How is the journalist in such a case to reconcile his duty towards hi s readers with his duty as expounded by the sag es of the law ? Again, look at the monstrous bard.. ship inflicted upon the publisher of a newspaper by requiring him to ascertain that every report of every meeting shall not contain a tittle of libellous matter. Why, in that case, the proprietor of every journal of frequent publication ought to retain counsel for the purpose of perusing and advising upon every re port of a public meeting before it is inserted in his newspaper, for it is by no m e an s always easy to distinguish between fair, temperate criticism, and libel. One action for libel, in which moderate damages only were recovered, might otherwise sweep away a large portion of the year's profits. Another very preposterous consequence might follow the present state of the law. There are some words, which, when spoken at a public meet ing, would not be slander, but which would be come a libel as soon as they were transfered to the columns of a newspaper. Thus the original utterer, who no doubt entertained some feeling against the personwith relation to whom theywerevoken, would be liable to no penalty, but the journalist in whose paper they were innocently, and, perhaps, unknown to himself, reported, would find himself liable to an faction for libel. We may be told, perhaps, that private character is of so much consequence that it ought to be protected at any cost. The fact, how ever, is that the reputation of merely private per sons is rarely assailed in a public meeting. It is usually some act done by a man in a quasi public character, which exposes him to the withering scorn and unsparing denunciation of the platform orator, and such a man's reputation becomes public pro. perty, to be freely canvassed and criticised by his fellow-citizens. And even where this is not the case—where the person attacked holds no public office and has never meddled in public life, it would seem that his appropriate remedy is not against the journalist who is the innocent cause of spreading his adversary's misstatements, but against his ad versary himself. Damages recovered against the former will neither save his wounded repu tation nor gratify his spleen, for he has really no cause of quarrel with the innocent publisher. The most effectual redress which can be afforded him by the journalist is the publication of a denial of the charges brought against him, toge ther with any proof which he might be able to ad duce of their falseness, which would circulate as the charges themselves • and, until such p u bli cs . tion had been requested and refused, no action should be allowed to be brought. Unless the law as laid down in "Davison v. Duncan" be altered, the position of newspaper proprietors , publishers, editors, and reporters will b e absolutely intoler able, while the public will sustain a very consider. able loss in not being allowed to receive accurate reports of proceedings in which they may feel deeply interested.—Leeds Mercury. RECENT PROMOTIONS IN T7ll ORDER OF THE BATH. . (From the Naval and M ilitary Gazette.) In our observations, last week, upon the anomalous and unjust distribution of the Order of the Bath, we al laded to Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sir R. S. Dundas hav ing been promoted for the bombardment of Sweaborg, which work we considered was only half done —and it is not the only time we have expressed ourselves to that effect ; for assuredly, when the news first reached us, we felt something more than disappointment that the line of-battle ships did not go in and take advantage of the destruction produced by the fire of the mortar and gun boats, and our impressions on that occasion were after. wards confirmed by the opinions expressed by the Grand Duke Constantine relative to that bombardment, on the arrival of her Majesty's ship Cressy at Cronstadt. Since our last, however, a much-valued correspondent has written to us upon the subject. As he is well acquainted with the locale of Sweaborg, and the diffie culties of approaching that fortress, his communica tion is entitled to undoubted attention ; and we must acknowledge that the manner in which he has brought sundry facts to bear upon his assertions have, on an attentive and impartial perusal of his statements, materially modified the views we previously entertained of Rear-Admiral the Hon. R. S. Dundas's tactics at Sweaborg, and bad we been in possession la't week of the circumstances stated in our correspondent's letter we certainly should not have animadverted as we did on the fact of Sir Richard's not following up his first suc cess ; still, we must maintain that the service, good as it was, so far as it went, was not of the character and stamp required to meet the intentions of the statutes of the order, as laid down by George IV., and detailed in our last number. If, indeed, we compare Sir Richard Dundas's achievement in the Baltic with the more than useless attempt at Sebastopol, then, indeed, there can be no second opinion as to his deserving the distinction he has obtained pre-eminently ; for what he did he did well —so well that his friends and the country could not but be annoyed and disappointed at his not carrying his suc cess further —and in ,these days of half-measures his conduct seemed but an additional confirmation of the vacillating and doubting spirit which appears to have seizei up-In all our commanding officers, both naval and military, duricgithe Russian war. But contrast the bombardment of Sweaborg, and the reward it has obtained for its commander-in-chief, with the dashing and perilous enterprises of the last great war —en' erprises so chivalrously daring as to call forth the necessity for the extension of the highest order but one in the land ; since nothing but so ancient and time honoured an institution could do juAtice to the brilliant achievements which shed such Ware on the reign of George 111., and which order, in its extension, was purposely so framed as to render its abuse impossible to any honourable-minded mini,try ; when, therefore, we say we compare the attack on Sweaborg (an attack, be it remembered, carried on in comparative safety, and suggested by a very talented officer), with the deeds of last war, executed, too, with such inferior means to those lately put in requisition—when we place the past and the present in juxta-position—we cannot but still adhere to our opinion that the bestowal of the Bath for Swea borg was not in conformity with the regulations and re quirements of the order; though truly, if Sir Richard Dundee was not entitled to it, assuredly all the others had not even a shadow of a claim compared with him ; and certainly it the late disgraceful distribution had even a semblance of fairness towards the officers engaged, both in the Black Sea and the Baltic Seas, Sir Richard Douglas was more entitled to the G.C.B. than his name sake in the Euxine, for he obtained a real, though im perfect success, while the other as surely sustained a defeat. We trust the Commons of England will call upon the First Lord, when Parliament meets, to explain and jus tify his lavish and illegal distribution of an order hitherto so highly prized, but now rendered worthless in the eyes of all who know its recent history. We shall be glad to know on what plea he will attempt to vindicate the promotion of Beat-Admiral Freruant'e, as well as that of his own brother-in-law, Rear-Admiral the e e 11 F o ir n s . t W L . 0 F ra .
