EVENING EDITION. ST•EAM--B-0 AT • CHALLENGE FOR ONE THOUSAND GUINEAS I TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR—Various paragraphs having appeared in certain publications tending to detract from the me rits of the Archimedes screw-propeller steam-ship, I consider the only way to determine the matter, after the successful performances that vessel has already made in circumnavigating Great Britain, and in her recent voyages to Oporto, Amsterdam, &c., is to publish this challenge, to run the Archi medes against any paddle-wheel steamer in the kingdom, the power of which is not superior, and the tonnage and draught of water not less than that Vessel. • The trial to take place in the open sea, over a distance of one hundred or five hundred miles, for the sum of One Thousand Guineas ! N.B. The trial must take place before the 15th October next, and the challenge does not extend to vessels with high pressure engines. FRANCIS PETTIT SMITH, Patentee.

OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice MAULa anci, Mr. Baron ROLFE.) Win. Buglar and James Bathga(e, who were con victed on Wednesday of stealing a Bank of England note for 300/., the property of Edward Wenman Mar tin, were this morning brought up to receive the judg ment of the Court, and were sentenced by Mr. Baron ROLFE to ten years' transportation. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) Eliza Alexander was indicted for stealing nine spoons, two sheets, three shirts, and one handkerchief', value 3/. 16s. 6d., the property of John Ellis, her master. On the 31st of August, the posecutor, who re sides at Hoxton, desired the prisoner, who was in his service, to bring up the silver spoons. She did not do so, and he went down into the kitchen, when she told him that she had pledged the spoons, and gave him up the duplicates. He went to the pawnbrokers, and found that in addition to the spoons she had like wise pledged the sheets and the shirts. The p:isoner offered no defence. The Jury found her guilty, and she was sentenced to six months' imprisoument, with hard labour. The Court was 'detained a considerable time this morning in consequence of the absence of Counsel, who held briefs in cases for trial in this Court, but who were engaged in the other Court. CITY REGISTRATION. (THIS DAY.) The Court proceeded with the revision of the lists of the Livery. Mr. Benjamin Hawes, M.P., for Lambeth, whose name was on the list of the Haberdashers' Company, was objected to by the Conservatives, on the ground of change of residence. Ihe case was, however, post poned till to-morrow, to afford the Hon. Member an op portunity of substantiating his vote. Mr. MYLNE stated that, upon looking at the number of objections to the Livery, and considering the ques tions that had to be discussed, he was afraid they would not be able to do more than get through the lists of the Livery this week. He thought, thz:refore, it would be as well at once to state, for the information of those concerned in the Householders' lists, that he would not commence them until Monday morning. yV It , appearing - very doubtful in one or two cases whether the parties bad been properly served with the notices of objection, Mr. MYLNE expressed an opinion that a great deal of difficulty would be obviated if notice sent by a penny-post letter to the address on the list were deemed good service.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Brieton Gazette.) PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 16.—The following line-of battle ships are preparing with all practicable expedition for immediate commission, namely, Indus, 84, and Ven geance, 84, at Portsmouth ; also the Britannia, 120, the Bombay, 84, and Clarence, 84, at Plymouth ; and the Formidable, 84, and Monarch, 84, at Sheerness. The Howe, and Royal Adelaide, 120 gun fl ig-ships, are also getting ready for sea service. The dockyard presents a scene of activity and bustle, and the town is posted with bills for men for her Majesty's navy. The Britannia, 120, will go out to Spithead this week, and immediately on the arrival of the Donegal, 78, from Lisbon, that ship's crew will shift over to her, and be completed to 820 men. She is to bear the flag of Rear. Admiral Sir John Ommanney, as se cond in command in the Mediterranean. The Rodney, 92, Captain Maunsell, was to leave Ply mouth Sound on Sunday, direct for Malta, to join Sir R. Stopford's fleet with the least possible delay. Sir William Burnett, Physician-General of the Navy, has arrived here, on his annual visit of inspection of Haslar Hospital, and will shortly proceed to Plymouth. The Cygnet, 8, Lieutenant Wilson, has sailed for Plymouth, on her way to the Cape and West African station. She took seamen gunners for the Calcutta, 84, at Plymouth, and other supernumeraries. The Snake, 16, Commander Hay, is at Spithead, from the `•Vest Indies, having left Halifax on the Ist of August. She goes to the eastward to be paid off. She brings no news whatever.

The following is to the present time the result of this unfortunate accident : M. A. Deneux, killed. Mr. J. H. W.ight, solicitor, London, spine injured, and r*w lying in a very dangerous state, it being very doubtful if he will recover. Mr. G. Jones, leg broken. Shaw, (Guard), hip broken. A female, collar-6;le broken. (The two last named are doing well.) Immediately on the accident being made known at the station in Derby several gentlemen connected with the railm:y visited the scene, in order to render every assistance which the Company had it in their power to offer. The utmost attention is paid to the sufferers, and we believe, if we except Mr. Wright, there is every reason to hope that the others injured will speedily re- cover. An inquest was held on the body of M. Deneux yes terday (Tuesday), befote Mr. Mozley, jun., Coroner, and a very respectable jury, at the Amber Gate Sta tion, when after a patient and minute investigation, a verdict was returned of " Accidental death in conse quence of the breaking of an axle."

Lord Westminster has declared to win with Launcelot. THE ST. LEGER. The attendance, which on Monday had not been large, was immense during this day (Tuesday), the weather being delightfully fine ; and the influx of visitors was greatly in creased by the facilities afforded by the North Midland Railway. Amongst the distinguished visitors were the Marquis of Normanby, the Marquis of Westminster, the Duke of Cleveland, the Earls of Fitzwilliam. Chesterfield, Scarborough, Wilton, Viscount Maidstone, and a long list of " patrons and supporters of the turf." The greatest animation prevailed, and large amounts were laid; the betting for the last three hours prior to the race being ma terially influenced by the circumstance that the; Earl of Wilton publicly announced in the betting-room, about twenty minutes after twelve o'clock, that he 'vas rcquested by the Marquis of Westminster to state, that, if he could win with either of his horses, he declared to win with Launcelot. - - - - The ST.

Only two were placed. The betting just before the start was-7 to 4 against Gibraltar-7 to 4 against Launcelot-4 to 1 against Maroon-8 to 1 against Calypso, and 16 to 1 against any other horse. As the hour of start drew nigh, the interest became in tense, and various were the speculations entered into, as the horses showed in front of the Grand Stand, and walked round the course. They then formed in line preparatory to the start. The word " go" was given at four minutes after four o'clock ; and off they all went except Trustee, who remained behind. The start thus became a "false" one ; the horses were called back after they had gone about 30 yards, and again they went off in beautiful style; Ma roon taking the lead all the way up the hill, Gibraltar lying on his quarters, Launcelot about the fifth, and Trus tee last. They appeared to keep about the same relative positions for some distance ; as they approached the dis tance post, Polydorus appeared a little in front ; Launcelot lying inside, Maroon in the middle , and Gibraltar outside. Thus they came on towards the Stand, Maroon leading abaci a length, and Gibraltar coming up to him ; but Holmes, seeing that Gibraltar was beaten, and that Laun celot would certainly win, held his horse, or appeared to do so, and then Launcelot came out and won by about a length ; Maroon coming in second, and nearly a length in front of Gibraltar. The others were all well beaten, and Trustee appeared to be last, or nearly so, all the way round. Lord Westminster is a fortunate man. lie stands in the unprecedented position of having only two horses start ing for the St. Leger, and their coming in first and second, so that he sweeps the whole stakes, which, not withstanding the number of forfeits, must be very large, there being 112 subscribers. Not only has the Noble Marquis been thus sucecessful, but the race preceding the St. Leger,—the Cleveland Stakes (of 50 soya. each with 20 sovs. added by the Corporation, 21 subscribers) was won by his Lordship's br c Sleight-of- Hand, 4 )rs, Bst 71b, beating Mr. Allen's b f Orelia and several others. Scott's stable is thus pre-eminently victorious. We subjoin a brief record of the performances of the winner of the St. Leger, and of the second horse in tire great sporting event of this celebrated meeting : Launcelot, b c, brother to Touchstone, by Camel, out of Banter: the property of the Marquis of Westminster, and trained by .1.

STAG HUNT AT KILLARNEY.—A stag hunt took place on Monday, on the Tomies !mountains. The hounds were laid on at twelve, when they came on a li.eautiful hind below Benson's Point, the seat of Captain O'Sullivan. They ran her for a long time, when she took them to O'Sullivan's Cascade, at the base of the mountain, leaving the boats ig norant of her course. The parties in the boats all made for the Cascade. After five hours's long running, the hounds, huntsmen, and hind, faint anti wearied, returned, when only three or faur boats were there. The deer was merely saved, and taken in by a respected sojourner in Killarney, Richard B. Mathews, F.sq., from Henley-on-Thames. Such a concourse of strangers were never together on sweet Lough-lane. THE MARQUIS OF WATERFORD'S Fox HOUNDS.—His Lordship has no less than ninety couple of hounds, hunts man, and three whippers, forty-seven first-rate horses, and an immense establishment, which is to take up its head quarters at Rockwell, where a number of artisans are hard at work, under the direction of Mr. Tinsley, to complete the arrangement; by the Ist of October. Stabling is like wise building at New Inn, or, rather, New Melton, for fifty horses, to accommodate the numerous visitors from all parts of the empire. THE EARL OF CARDIGAN AND THE 11th HUSSARS. [We copy from an Evening Contemporary the follow ing epistles, describinc , with curious minuteness the miserable squabbles that have lately signalised the 11th Hussars. It appears the business is not yet settled, as a Cou-t martial is to be held at Brighton to weigh all the important evidence about black bottles and pot houses.] Oa the 18th of May, 1840, Major-General Sleigh re viewed and inspected the regiment, found everything sa tisfactory, and dined at the regimental mess. During dinner Captain John Reynolds called for a bottle of Mo selle, which, as is usual, was served in a black bottle, and placed by the waiter before Captain Reynolds, who, with other parties, partook of it.* The next morning Captain Jones delivered the fol lowing message to Captain Reynolds : " The Colonel Las desired me, as President of the Mess Committee, to tell you that you were wrong in having a black bottle placed on the table at a great dinner like last night, as the mess should be conducted like a gentleman's table, and not like a tavern or pot house," or words to that Effect. Captain Reynolds received the message with asto nishment, but without remark, and subsequently waited upon the Earl of Cardigan, and complained of it, but re ceived no satisfactory answer. A short time afterwards Captain Reynolds met Cap tain Jones in the mess-room, and, in the presence of two officers, said to him, " Captain Jones, I wish to speak to you about the messa g e you brought to me this morning. In the first place, Ido not think you were justified in giving it at all ; as a brother Captain, having no possi ble control over me, it would have been better taste if you had declined to deliver it." He replied, " I re ceived it from the commanding officer, and as such I gave it, and if you refuse to receive it from me, I will report it." Captain Reynolds replied," Do not misun derstand me, Captain Jones ; I have received, and do receive it, but the message was an offensive one ; and I tell you, once for all, that in future I will not allow you or any man to bring me offensive messages." Captain Jones said, " If I am ordered to give a message, I shall give it." Captain Reynolds said, " Well, you may do as you please, but if you bring me improper messages, you must take the consequences." Captain Jones replied, " He should certainly do so," and left the reoin. The two Captains who were present (one not an cfficer of the regiment) will prove that Captain Rey nolds's manner was quiet and inoffensive ; Captain Jones reported the c onversation, and soon afterwards Captain Reynolds was summoned to the orderly-room, where, in the presence of Major Jenkins, the Adju tant, and Captain Jones, Lord Cardigan thus ad dreEsed Captain Reynolds, in no very agreeable tone or manner : " If you cannot behave quietly, Sir, why don't you leave the regiment ? This is just the way with you Indian officers ; you think you know every thing ; but I tell you, Sir, that•you neither know your duty nor discipline. Oh, yes ! you do know your duty, I believe, but you have no idea whatever of discipline, and do not at all justify my recommendation." Captain Reynolds remained silent, when Lord Car digan added, " Well, I put you in arrest." Captain Jones then offered Captain Reynolds his hand, upon which Captain Reynolds, turning towards him, said, " No, Captain Jones, I will not shake hands with you ; nothing has passed which renders it neces sary ; I have no quarrel with you, and I deny having insulted you, and see no reason why I should shake hands with you, or the contrary". Lord Cardigan said, " But I say you have insulted Captain Jones." Captain Reynolds quietly replied, " I have not, my Lord e - upon which Lord Cardigan said, ' Well, I put you under arrest, and shall report the matter to the Horse Guards." Captain Reynolds said, " I am sorry for it," and re tired. Captain Reynolds was, therefore, placed in arrest for insulting Captain Janes (which he denied), and for re fusing to shake hands with him (which would have been a virtual admission of the imputed insult). The next morning, Wednesday, the 20th, Captain Reynolds addressed a letter to the Adjutant, inquiring whether he was to consider himself under close arrest, or arrest at large ; and secondly, what was the charge for which he was under arrest. Soon afterwards the Adjutant himself came and said— " There is no written answer, but you are to keep your room in close arrest." _ Later in the day Major Jenkins and the Ad j utant came to Captain Reynolds's room, and Major Jenkins info:rned him that the Colonel intended to report the whole to the Horse Guards. Toe Adjutant then read from a paper that the charge against Captain Reynolds was for telling Captain Jones, in an insulting and threatening manner, that, if he brought any more such messages from Lord Cardigan, he would hold him personally responsible, or words to that effect ; and when Captain Jones had offered his hand, for refusing to accept it. Captain Jones begged to have a copy of the paper, but was refused. Captain Reynolds requested Major Jenkins to tell the Colonel " that he had no quarrel with Captain Janes, and did not see ar'y reason for shaking hands with him ; that -he never was on intimate terms with Captain Jones, and never would be ; that he did not recollect ever shaking hands with him, and therefore de clined to do so now." On the 21st Lord Cardigan sent for Captain Forrest, who was present at the original conversation between Captain Jones and Captain Reynolds, and asked bim if Captain Reynolds's manner to Captain Jones in the mess-room was insulting ? Captain Forrest answered, " Certainly not ;' on which Lord Cardigan said, " Good God ! Captain Forrest, is it possible your view of the subject can be so different from Captain Jo nes ' s?" The other Captain, Captain Carmichael Smyth, of the 93d Highlanders, who was accidentally present, can speak to the same effect, but is under orders to proceed to Canada. On the morning of the 22d, Captain Reynolds re ceived a message from the Adjutant, to the effect that Laid Cardigan had not yet reported the matter to the Horse Guards, but that he was going up to London that night, and would on the morrow lay everything, before the Commander-in-Chief. He added, that Cap tain Reynolds was at liberty to take two hours' exer cise in the artillery barrack-yard daily, but not to go out of the gates. On Monday, Lord Cardigan sent for Captain Rey nolt's, and read the following memorandum from the Adjutant-General : " Horse Guards, May 23, 1840. " Memorandum.—Lord Cardigan having mentioned to the Adjutant-General the circumstances which caused his placing Captain John Reynolds, of Prince Albert's Hussars, in arrest, and the Adjutant-General having mentioned the circumstances to Lord Hill, his Lordship was pleased to authorize the Adjutant-Ge neral to afford Captain Reynolds an opportunity of ac knowledging his error, before the case should be offi cially reported in writing by his commanding officer, for the consideration of the General Commanding-in- Chief. " Lord Cardigan will, accordingly, on his return to Canterbury, call Captain Reynolds before him, and in the presence of Majors Rotton and Jenkins express to him Lord Hill's hope, that, upon mature reflection, he will be sensible of the gre it impropriety of his conduct throughout the discussion which led to his being placed in arrest, towards both Lord Cardigan, his command ing officer, and Captain Jones ; that he w ill promptly and ' cordially acknowledge that impropriety towards the former, namely, Lord Cardigan ; and that he will, at the same time, declare his readiness to resume his friendly intercourse with Captain Jones, towards whom he has behaved in a most insubordinate and unbecoming manner, more particularly in holding out a threat of personal responsibility to his .senior officer—conduct which Lord Hill will think himself bound to meet with the strongest censure, if brought officially before him. Lord Hill anticipates no hesitation on the part of Cap tain Reynolds in conforming to this memorandum, which is to be considered as containing his Lordship's recom mendation. Should Captain Reynolds unfortunately refuse to adopt the lino of conduct herein recommended to him, Lord Car di g an will make h is' written report of the whole case to the Adjutant-G eneral, to be sub mitted to the Gene ral Commandine'-in-ehief.

" 1, therefore, beg to express my sense of the in subordination of my conduct in, having threatened my superior officer, and my regret to Lieutenant-Colonel the Earl of Cardigan, my commanding officer, for hav ing done so. " I also beg to say that I am perfectly ready and willing to remain on the same terms of friendly inter course with Captain Jones as I was before this oc- cut rence. " I have the honour to be, my Lord, your most, obe dient humble servant, " JOHN W. REYNOLDS, " Captain 11th Hussars. " To Lieutenant-Colonel the Earl of Cardigan, commanding 11th Hussars." Upon the receipt of this Lord Cardigan sent for Cap tain Reynolds, and detained him two hours in a most harassing and inquisitorial conversation, during which he (Lord Cardigan) said he wished to speak as a private individual and not as a commanding officer ; but, after wards, with some austerity, resumed the authority of his rank. Throughout this cross-examination Lord Cardigan appeared to doubt the purity of Captain Rey nolds's motives, feelings, and intentions, notwithstand ing Captain Reynolds again and again assured him that he had no mental reservation—that he meant no subter fuge, that he scorned it, and that he intended exactly what he said—viz., that he would be on the same terms with Captain Jones as bafore this transaction. " Well, then," said Lord Cardigan, "will you shake bands with him ?" No, my Lord ; I have already told you I will not, and my reasons for declining ; moreover, the Comman der-in-Chief has not required it, and your Lordship has already told me it is unnecessary. Lord Cardigan— Will you drink wine with him ? Captain Reynolds—Certainly, my Lord. Lord Cardigan—Will you ask him again ? Captain Reynolds—Certainly, my Lord ; if a gen tleman asks me to drink wine with him, I An!l ask him again. Lord Cardigan—Will you ask him to-day Captain Reynolds—No, my Lord, I will not. Lord Cardigan—Will you ask him in a week ? Captain Reynolds—No, my Lord, I will not ; I will ask him in no specified time. Such is the tone of the two hours' cross•examination to which Captain R:?yoolds was subjected. At its con clusion he was released from close arrest, and placed in arrest at large. _ On `Tuesday, the 26th, Captain Reynolds addressed a letter to Lord Cardigan, asking him whether it was his intention to keep him any longer under arrest, after the full and ready concessions which he had made. No written answer was received, but a reply was brought by Major Jenkins that Lord Cardigan could not now release Captain Reynolds from arrest, as he had last ni,lit reported the matter to the Commander in-Chief. Captain Reynolds then forwarded another letter to the Adjutant-General, enclosed in one to Lord Cardigan, in the former of which he stated, that having complied with the recommendation of Lord Hill, and for warded " a written a cknowledgment of his error" to Lord Cardigan, he had expected to have been released from arrest, with un assurance that there remained nothing against his character as an officer and a gen tleman ; but not having been released, he " respectfully solicited the protection of the Commander-in-Chief." On Wednesday, May 27, Captain Reynolds was sent for by Lord Cardigan, who read a letter from the Ad jutant-General, in which he observed that " I have it in command to express Lord Hill's regret that Cap tain Reynolds should have persisted in so qualifying his concessions upon this occasion as to render it in cumbent upon you to continue that officer in arrest. " As Captain Reynolds, however, in the letter which he has addressed to you, complains of not having been afforded a sufficient opportunity of explaining his con duct touching the circumstances which led to his being placed in arrest, I have it in command to desire that your Lordship will be pleased to offer him that oppor tunity on receipt hereof, transmitting his further expla nation to me as soon as possible." The following are the chief points in Captain Rey nolds's reply to the Adjutant-General : " Canterbury, May 27, 1840. " I beg to assure you, Sir, that I most unhesitatingly made an unqualified concession to the wishes of Lord Hill, with perfect integrity of purpose, and without the slightest mental reservation. This I explained to Lord Cardigan in the course of several inter views, and added, that I was perfectly prepared to meet Captain Jones, and tell him that I had no quarrel with him, but that I was ready and willing to remain on the same terms of friendly intercourse with him as I was previous to this occurrence. Lord Cardigan then questioned me very closely as to how I intended ,to meet Cap tain Jones, and whether I would shake hands with or drink wine with him. I replied that I had no quarrel with Captain Jones, and if I shook bands with him it would he allowing that I had; that I never had been on such terms of intimacy with Capt. Jones as to war rant my shaking hands with him, and that these were my grounds for refusing, and not insubordination or animo sity. 1 cannot help adding, that Lord Cardigan him self, in the commencement of the interview, declared that shaking hands was unnecessary, and that he did not insist upon it. I feel, Sir, as I this day communicated to Lord Cardigan, that the being asked to concede more, after having explained my meaning so full, is a reflection upon the purity of my intentions. I beg also respectfully to submit t) you, that I have been unkindly and harshly treated by Lord Cardigan, in being thus pressed to extremity, and kept i❑ arrest nine days after the concession I have made, and the declaration of my readiness to meet Captain Jones. " Lord Cardigan has informed me that he has com plained that this is not the only time he has found me insubordinate. I therefore again throw myself on the clemency and protection of the General Commanding in-Chief, in the assurance that he will not suffer vague accusations to bias his decision in this transaction." On Thursday, the 2Sth of May, a letter was received from the Adjutant-General, stating that no command ing-officer had power to relieve an officer from arrest after the matter had been referred to higher authority : thus relieving Lord Cardigan from the responsibility of having detained Captain Reynolds in arrest, although it is apparent, from the Adjutant-General's letter of the 26th of May, that such detention was Lord Car , digan's own act, and that upon grounds which Captain Reynolds positively denies, viz., qualifying his con cession. On Friday, the 99th of May, another letter was re ceived from the Adjutant-General, ordering Captain Reynolds's release, with a censure upon his conduct. Captain Reynolds during the whole time had been in constant communication with his friend and guardian, Mr. Harvey, who waited upon the Adjutant-General and Lord Hill on the 27th and 28th of May, to beg that justice might be rendered to Captain Reynolds, who, by Mr. Harvey's advice, made another appeal to Lord Hill, and consequently wrote the following letter to the Adjutant-General : Canterbury Barracks, June 4, 1840. " Sir—lt is with deep regret that I feel myselt called upon to request that you will do me the honour to bring under the consideration of the General Commanding in-Chief the circumstances of the late transaction be tween Lieutenant-Colonel the Earl of Cardigan and myself. " In doing this, Sir, I beg to assure you that I am actuated by no insubordinate, factious, or improper mo tive, but after consulting my friends, and a careful and deliberate review of all the circumstances of the case, during the days that have elapsed since my release from arrest, I have arrived at the conviction that it is due to my own character, and necessary for the good of the regiment in which I have the honour to serve, and, in• deed, for that of the service at large, that the attention of the General Commanding-in-Chief should he directed to my appeals for his protection in my letters of the 26th and 27th of May. " Sir, I complain of the conduct of Lieutenant-Co lonel the Earl of Cardigan to me throughout this trans action, as having been arbitrary, unjust, and offensive to the feelings of a gentleman. " 1. A servant placed a bottle of Moselle near me on the mess-table on Monday evening, the ISth of May ; for this Lieutenant Colonel the Earl of Cardigan sent me a message to the effect that black bottles had no business on the table, as a mess should be conducted like a gentleman's table, and not like a potbouse or tavern: This message was brought me by Captain Jones, to whom I afterwards made use of the expres sions for which I readily declared my regret. " 2. Lieutenant-Colonel the Earl of Cardigan ad dressed me in the orderly-room on the 19th of May in a most offensive and irritating manner, calling me an Indian officer,' and asking me why I did not leave the regiment ? Unfortunately, Sir, as I since told Lord Cardigan, I have learned to know that the expression Indian officer' is meant as a term o f re p roach by his Lordship. That it is so, the number of times his Lordship has used it to various officers sufficiently proves. I hum bly submit, Sir, that this language should not b . eused by a co mmanding officer to his subordinates ; that it is subvFr sive of good feeling and unanimity to reproach men with having served in any country where they were ordered, and in this manner to create a distinction between offi cers of the same regiment. Indeed , i this s not a solitary instance of improper language on the part of Lieutenant-Colonel the Earl of Cardigan ; for, besule. others, I am prepared to prove that he told a captain of the regiment that what as h l asserted was false.

Yesterday the revision of the lists of the borough of the Tower Hamlets was commenced, before Thomas Falconer, E_q , at the Court House, Wellclose•square.

Mr. Blunt said he objected to Mr. Reynolds's name being retained on the list, because, after the late fire, the site of his premises was a perfect open space, and they had not yet been rebuilt. Mr. FALCONER observed that similar cases were to be found in the Scotch Reports, and one had been decided in the New Windsor case, in which it was held that the pulling down of a part of a house, for the purpose of re building it, was not a di,:quabfication. Mr. Walton said Mr. Reynolds was not only going to rebuild the premises but also to enlarge them,and the contracts had been entered into with the builders. Mr. FALCONER said be should disallow the objection, and retain Mr. Reynolds's name. The following is the result of the day's proceedings, which did not terminate till five o'clock :—Objections allowed, 74 ; disallowed, .59 ; withdrawn, 45. Claims allowed, 11 ; disallowed, 7. It is expected the revision of the lists will be con cluded to-day.

I humbly submit, Sir, that this is not acting up to the spirit of the Ai tidies of War, which says, that no officer shall be kept in arrest more than eight days, or until such time as a court-martal can be assembled ;' whereas, from the circumstances not having been reported at once, I was ultimately detained eleven days. " 4.

" And yet, Sir, after all this treatment, how am I situated ? I stand before my troop, before the regi ment, before the neighbourhood, and it may be before the country, as having been placed and kept eleven days in arrest, for what nobody knows, nor how re leased, and with the painful feeling of having been wronged and ill-treated as an officer and a gentleman. " I trust most implicitly to the known justice of the General Commanding-in-Chief to assist me in this my difficult position, to clear my character, and shield me and others from the effects and recurrence of such un due exercise of power. " I have the honour, to be, Sir, " Your obedient humble servant, "J. W. REYNOLDS, " Captain of the 11th Hussars. " To the Adjutant-General, Horse Guards." On Tuesday, the 9th of June, General Sleigh went to Canterbury, bad all the officers of the regiment brought before him, and, without any investigation, read to them a letter from head-quarters, condemning Cap tain Reynold's conduct in very strong langu age ; ap proving of Lord Cardigan's throughout, in ever partice lar ; stigmatising Captain Reynold's motives as per nicious and vindictive, and refusing a court-martial, because many things would be brought to light which would not be for the good of the service. Captain Reynolds then requested that he might be brought to a court-martial for the offences with which he had now bLen charged. This was also refused, as it was stated Lord Hill had determined it should be considered as settled. And, as if this was not enough, General Sleigh told Captain Reynolds that he had forfeited the sympa thy of every officer of rank in the service. Captain Reynolds applied for copies of all the letters referred to in this statement, which are not given at length, and was refused them. Mr. Harvey has since applied to Lord Hill, in his ty.vn name, and in that of Captain Basil Hall, the young gentleman's uncle, for all the documents relating to this transaction, and has been politely refused.. Thus, neither Captain Reynolds nor any of his friends have seen one word of Lord Cardigan's reports, state ments, or letters—a curious situation for an accused and cmiv:cted officer to be placed in ; and the last letter of reprimand read by General Sleigh has only been listened to, and the substance can only be given from recol lection. (To be contimued to -morrow.) THE LATE DUEL BET WE EN LORD CARDIGAN AND MR. HARVEY TUCKETT. The inclosed statement, made by Captain Douglas, of the I lth Hussars, has been published, with the sanc tion of Lord Cardigan : An erroneous statement having been circulated in the newspapers relative to the circumstances connected with the recent meeting on Wimbledon Common, be tween the Ezrl of Cardigan and Mr. Tuckett, the fol lowing is submitted as a correct statement of the facts : Lord Cardigan having been informed upon good authority that the Editor of the Morning Chronicle, upon application made to him for the name of the w riter of a letter dated 3d September, 1840, signed " An Old Soldier," which appeared in that paper of the 4th Sep tember, hakstated it to come from Mr. Harvey Tuckett, Captain Douglas, at the request of Lord Cardigan, waited upon Mr. Tuckett on the 11th inst. to demand satisfaction. Mr. Tuckett acknowledged himself the author, and requested time to go into the country to coesult Captain Wainwright as his friend. On Saturday the 12th instant, Captain Douglas met Captain Wainwright, when the latter solicited in writ ing the grounds upon which Lord Cardigan demanded satisfaction of his friend Mr. Tuckett. Captain Douglas delivered about half-past two, r.m , the following statement, viz.:— " Lord Cardigan yesterday authorised Captain Dou glas to require of Mr. Tuckett to afford him satisfac tion in consequence of a letter, of which Mr. Tuckett has avowed himself the author, and which appeared in the Morning Chronicle of the 4th instant, signed An Old Soldier,' many parts of which contained matter en tirely false, and the whole of it was slanderous, insult ing, and calumnious.

THE ACCIDENT ON TIIE EASTERN COUN TIES RAILWAY.—( FURTHER PARTICULARS.)—On irquir ing yesterday at the London Hospital, we learned that Perry, one of the persons injured at the recent accident on the Eastern Counties Railway, lies in so dangerous a state that not the slightest hopes are entertained of his recovery. Mason, another of the sufferers, is going on tolerably well. The unfortunate roan Perry is a mechanic, and bad gone down the railway for a day's pleasure. He had his leg broken in two places, and his upper jaw was very much in jured. He has been unable to speak since he has been in the hospital. Amongst the passengers in the train which had caused the accident were Mr. George Stephenson, who might be termed the father of aloads; Mr. Braithwaite, and other eminent engineers, who were proceeding with some gentlemen belonging to the Northern and Eastern line to make arrangements for its opening to the public on the following morning. The engine did not receive any injury by the concussion, and in a short time after the acci dent was enabled to proceed to its destination with the gentlemen it had taken down. Macon says that he had laccidentally met Perry and 'a man named Miles, who were shopmates of his, at the silk manufactory of Mr. Archer, in Worship-street, and they had :.greed to go for an ex cursion as far as Ilford. They accordingly got into the two o'clock train, and shortly afterwards the accident occurred, but Miles escaped unhurt. FATAL ACCIDENT.—Bctween ten and eleven o'clock on Wednesday night, the omnibus to the South ampton Railway was returning by Millbank, and when it got nearly opposite to the Penitentiary, a respectable young man, named Abraham Mockford, who was sitting on the box, suddenly fell into the road, and before the driver could pull up, both the wheels of the carriage passed over his body. On the omnibus being stopped, all the passengers got out, and the young man was immedi ately conveyed to the Westminster Hospital, but he ex pired before he reached it. The driver, a steady, careful man, to whom no blame attaches, and the conductor, were immediately conveyed to the station-house, accompanied by several respectable witnesses, who were passengers at the time, and who gave their names and addresses in order to appear in favour of the driver, if Accessary. ELOPEMENT.—On Sunday evening, at five o'clock, an elegantly attired couple alighted from one of Messrs. Wheatley's omnibuses at the White Hart Ta. vern, Greenwich. They proceeded down Nelson-street, when two gentlemen drove rapidly up in a dashing cabrio let and splendid horse; they immediately jumped out. One gentleman, said to be the lady's brother, seized her and took her away from the moustached hero, using, at the same time, some very angry expressions towards her, and the other g entleman, said to be the lady's husband, com menced a violent attack upoa the " gay Lothario," who, from his dress and general appearance, was an officer be. longing t o some cavalry regiment.

" He has long been Buttering about her, and i s w ith her every evening, when you go out to make bread at the baker's, Cassandre's. And, what's more, he has succeeded." _ _ " Cristie ! He has succeeded, do you say ?" " I mean to say that he is on the point of succeed ing. Sic has promised to receive him this evening in her chamber, when they will walk into a bottle of your old wine." " Mille tonnerres I If I was only certain of it I" " There is nothing easier than to make yourself cer tain, my dear Pierrot. At ten o'clock to-night, the moment you shall have set out upon your business, Master Harlequin will knock at your door. Your wife will run to open it for him. The wine and the glasses are all ready. They will have nothing to do but drink it." " Vertudieu ! You have covered my forehead with a cold sweat, neighbour." " You have only to hide yourself, Pierrot. Then, when you see Harlequin knock, and your wife open the door, fall upon bins like a thunderbolt, and put him out of the condition to do you an injury." " I shall not fail ; mille b&mbes, I shan't. Ah, you devil of a Harlequin, you wanted to play me a trick. But I shall catch you in your own trap. You threaten my forehead, scoundrel ; take care of your own back." And Pierrot sharpens his sabre, new flints and loads his pistol, hangs from his arm a great fat powder-horn, fortifies himself with a complete arsenal—in a word, takes up the posture of a regular swashing slasher, a true tranche-niontagne, to such a degree that Sara mouch, frightened by his terrible big oaths, and his furibrund demonstrations, recommends him not to allow himself to be too much excited, and carried away by his valorous emotions, lest he should exterminate Harlequin all at once in his fury. To this Pierrot, foaming with rage, replies with an interjection so expressive, that it is impossible to repro duce it here. At half-past ten Scaramouch takes a turn towards the house to learn what is passing there, and finds Pierrot in an ambuscade near the door. " Well," he inquires, " Harlequin has not yet come ?" " Ycs, he is here these twenty minutes." " And he knocked ?" ~ yes.,, " And your wife opened the door ?" " Yes." " Then you gave him a devil of a beating; but 3ou haven't killed him, I hope ?" " No, I did'nt touch him. I didn't even show myself. I have been reflecting." " How ! you have been reflecting ?" " Yes ;" I said to myself, " this devil of a Harlequin is lusty and vigorous. He can flourish his bat with per fect science. If I attack him now, be will perhaps be tco strong for me. Let me wait till be is guilt; out. When he shall have drunk deep of my wine above stairs, his sight will he confused, his limbs unsteady. Then I'll take him at advantage and make sure of the scoundrel. Isn't this well-reasoned, neighbour ?" " And you arc waiting for him now ?" " Yes." " And you say that he has been above these twenty minutes?" Egad ! it's now nearly half-an-hour." " Pierrot, Pierrot, poor devil ! you are a fool ; and you ssiil be so to the end of your days." M. Thiers is the very counterpart of Pierrot. He is determined to let the coalesced Powers act until they shall have accomplished ail their projects ; then, when, having nothing more to do, they shall dissolve their alliance, ye gods what a terrible vengeance he will in flict upon them! &arm - Douche-la Presse informed him of the inten tions of the Four Powers, as indicated plainly enough in the treaty. How energetic were then Pierrot's oaths, as he drew his sword, brandished even for an instant the bonnet rouge, and took his hundred millions from the Exchequer, to equip ships and raise soldiers! Like every other coward, he blustered ferociously at the commencement, and threatened to extinguish the Four Powers. But, at twenty minutes past ten, when Scaramouche la-Presse comes to ask Pierrot-Neuf-Aout for some news from the campaign, he finds Pierrot still armed to the teeth, while the Four Powers arc capturing ships and scattering proclamations. Pierrot "is taking time to reflect." Mcanwhile Harlequin has supped with Pierrot's wife, and drank his wine. The Pacha of Egypt is vaLquialed, and Constantinople will probably enough be taken. Pierrot you are a fool and a coward ; but France will neither be one nor other in dealing with you. DUTCH AeD GERMAN PAPERS. 141"Il:RDAM, SEPT. 11.—IIer Highness Duchess Ida of Sax,!

FRAUDS U['ON TILE POOR.-(From a Corre spondent of the Ilerald.)—The expose of the frauds prac tised upon the pocr by petty tradesmen and shopkeepers, has been attended with a very beneficial result, by exciting the attention of the several parochial officers, and in a great measure putting a stop to a continuation of such gross and heartless robberies. The cheap bread sellers arc amongst the most active robbers cf the poor. 11 bread scale has a fiat moveable pan, on which the bread to be weighed is placed. Between that pan and rest they place a large penny piece, which weighs about an ounce. This coin they so introduce without fear of detec tion before nine in the morning and after six in the even ►ng, as awing those hours the Juries do not visit them. Since the exposure of these heartless frauds the market Juries have been indefatigable in their endeavours to de tect the perpetrators of them, and have been, in several instances, successful. AN EXTRAORDINARY VISITOR AT WIND- Solt CASTLE.—On Friday last a person of rather gentle manly exterior and address arrived at the Castle Hotel, in this town, where he remained until the following Monday, and having regularly dischargcdhis bills no suspicions were entertained of his sanity until the morning of that day, when it was discovered ho had forwarded a letter to her Majesty. The contents of this letter we have not been able to learn, but they were of such a nature as to cause immediate directions to be given to Russell, a police officer at the Castle, to narrowly watch his movements. The landlord at the Castle Hotel, finding what customer ho had, respectfully intimated to him that his absence was more agreeable than his presence, and he accordingly took the hint and shifted his quarters to the White Hart Inn, where he Las remained ever since. The man's conduct up to this period has been perfectly harmle n ss e , h b e u s t he in e height,i is inches th s o e u con stantly going to the Castle and making inquiries relative to the Queen, and expresses a great desire to have an audience of her Majesty• He appears calls to be about o , u , t H f e ci n rt ry lightE s q ~, "' ll l e b x a i c o k n' i s excoriated yenta of age, and is about five feetten though he bad He lunatic asylum.—Corre spondent undergone corporal punishment, and it • and of a sup posed lie has escaped from some spondent of the Morning P ost , Maporth, Yesterday took place at the Li censed Viet Lallers, in the Old Asylum of the six inmates, in addition to I??
