Lord Derby said he hoped their lordships would not construe his silence, as to the important division in the Commons, into indifference, but, on the contrary, he regarded it as a most serious occurrence. He stated he had had an audience with her Majesty, but he had not received her sanction to any course he might advise. He postponed all statements until Monday. During the whole of yesterday there was a good deal of excitement in all the Political Clubs of Lon don, and the ministers were not active. The Evening Herald of last night says, " Shortly after ten o'clock this morning, the Chancellor of the Exchequer left Grosvenor-gate, and proceeded to the residence of the Earl of Derby. The Earl and the right hon. gentleman remained in consultation until twelve o'clock, when they left together, and proceeded to the Chancellor of the Exchequer's official residence in Downing-street. At twelve o'clock a Cabinet Council was held, at which, there were present—The Earl of Derby, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, General Peel, Lord Stanley, Mr. .Sotheron Estcourt, Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, Lord John Manners, the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Hardwicke, the Earl of Maimesbury. Sir John Pakington, and Lord Donoughmore. Sir William Jolliffe had an interview with the First Lord of the Treasury at half-past nine o'clock this morning, and afterwards called upon several of the leading supporters of the government. During the whole of the morning the clubs have beeu crowded with members of both Houses of Parliament, and other gentlemen who take an intetest in political affairs We, however, do not deem it advisable to give cur rency to the numerous rumours, many of them utterly absurd. Six baronetcies, it is currently stated at the clubs, are to be created, the following gentlemen being the chosen persons : The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Mr. Disraeli), Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Sotheron Estcourt, Colonel Taylor, Colonel Forrester, and Mr. William Deedes. In some quar ters it is stated that the Earl of Derby will nominate Mr. Henley for one of the baronetcies, notwitstand ing his recent defection from the Ministerial ranks. The greatest excitement is prevailing, and Peers have been inundated during the whole of the morn ing by applications for tickets of admission to the House of Lords to-night, there being an expectation that the Earl of Derby may make a statement. It is not, however, likely that the noble loud will antici pate the statement which the Chancellor of the Ex chequer will make in the House of Commons on Mon day. The Globe says, " The Chancellor of the Ex chequer had a consultation which had extended over two hours this morning with the Earl of Derby, at his residence in St. James's-square. At twelve o'clock they proceeded together to Downing-street, where a Cabinet Council was held at the official residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Cabinet rose at half-past two o'clock. The Earl of Derby immediately after proceeded to the Palace, where he had an audience of the Queen." The Express says :—" During the whole of the morning the clubs have been crowded with members of both Houses of Parliament, and other gentlemen who take an interest in political affairs. It is confi dently stated by all parties, that the noble earl will not venture upon a dissolution of Parliament, but that after the Cabinet has closed its sittings, he will proceed at once to Buckingham Palace, and announce to her Majesty the resignation of his government." The foreign news is quite unimportant this morn ing, the French mails not having arrived. The division list on the Reform Bill has been published. In the minority appears the names of Beecroft, Cobbett, E. Dennison, Sir Arthur Elton, Honourable J. Fitzwilliam, Thomas Berry Horsfall, E. Horsman, Earl of Lincoln, John Orrel Lever, J. F. Maguire, R. G. Slurt, J. S. Wortley. The majority comprises E. Akroyd, Lord Ashley, M. T. Barnes, T. Baxley, J. Bright, E. C ar d we ll , F. Clay, F. Crossley, E. Ellice, W. Ewart, J. C. Ewart, Hon.

There is a material alteration in the Bank of England Returns this week, as published in the Gazette of last night, when compared with those of last week. There is an increaee of £656,035 in circulation, £348,059 in Public Deposits, and £1A14 : 206 in Government Securities, while limp is a decrease of 1234,065 in the amount of bullion, and of D 394,035 in the reserve of notes. The local news this morning absorbs all our space. The trials ut the assizes yesterday were important, and the reports are worthy of perusal. The second engineer of the Bogota has been found guilty, and sentenced to-fifteen years penal servitude. THE REJECTED REFORM BILL. It would surprise nobody, one would think, that such should be the fate of the Ministerial Reform Bill. The whole course of the long debate tended so decidedly in that direction, that whatever hope might at one period have 'been entertained of it among the more sanguine of the ministerialists, must have quite faded away some tie before the division took place , . And what at 'last aggravated, no doubt, its hopelessness, was the 'emphatic deola ration of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in bis speech which wound lap the debate, that he would not pledge himself to - the adoption of any provisions in committee—did it happen to get there-:-in pursuance of Lord John Russell's resolution. " The hon. and learned member who has just ad dressed us, put me a question, and calledfupon me frankly to reply to it. Si; I will frankly reply to it. I say that every proposition in that bill'is matter of detail, irrespective of three great principles upon which it is founded ; that the committee 'is the pro per stage 'in which to discuss those :propositions, and that 'to the discussion of those propositions in committee I and the rest of the Government will give a candid consideration. But whether the point be a great one or a small one, whatever view the hon. and learned gentleman may take of it, 1 decline to pledge myself before the discusSion takes place, to defer to any determination that the committee may arrive at. Sir, that appears to me to be a de mandthat is alikeunreasonable and unparliamentary." This would have sealed its fate, had it not baen done already. It was a resolution, he contended, which only dealt with the details of the measure that it would 'be the business of the Committee to consider; while with its principles, in the main, the House had shown a general agreement. But this was a course of argument by no means calculated to catch those few waverers as to the expediency of the resolution which Lord John Russell had brought forward with so damning an object. Had the twenty or five and-twenty votes which, up to that time, were doubtful, been secured against the resolution, the result, of course, would have been different. That is to say Lord JOHN'S device would have been thwarted.. But then this would not have advanced the Bill, either in the shape in which it would have presented itself to the committee, or perhaps in any shape that would have been acceptible to the gov ernment, whose measure it would no longer have been. To carry out the principle, therefore, now recognised by the House, at the instance, it seems, not only of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, but of Lord PALMERSTON, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and other Oppo sition leaders, the course would appear to be, to adopt at once, and altogether, the model of pro ceeding by resolution, as in the case of the India Bill last year. As respects the resolution which the House has, doubtless from a variety of motives, adopted on this occasion, it is one, of itself, we humbly conceive, on which any practical proceeding can now, or at any time, be taken. It declares that it would be neither just nor politic to interfere, as the Government Reform Bill proposed, with the freehold franchise as hitherto exercised in the counties, and that no re adjustment of the franchise would satisfy the House -or the country which did not provide for a greater extension of the suffrage in towns then was contemplated by that measure. But this is all. There is no definite purpose manifested by it, as to the positive character of, any future Reform Bill. As Mr. Gladstone, in the course of the debate, very forcibly pointed out, respecting the resolution, the leading men who proposed and supported it had an agreement of opinion which was limited to the terms of the motion itself, and which, the -very day after it was carried, would leave them to pursue their distinct and opposite courses. This, he said, was far from being an inducement to him to vote for the resolution, but rather operated in a contrary direction, as certainly it has done. And now the Liberal Reformers, of all shades, who combined to pass this -resolution, are just in the very position predicted—left to pursue their several distinct and opposite courses. And this is what is so unsatis factory after all, for it not only brings us no nearer to the settlement of the question, but it has lost us, apparently, an opportunity of making a practical effort to settle it. It remains, however, to be seen that they who have carried their resolution will do,—how they will act upon it, or if they will proceed to act upon it at all. Very much will depend, however, in the first place, upon what Ministers themselves will do. And this, at present, seems somewhat a mrtter of uncertainty. The Times takes it for granted that they will. resign, as a matter of course, and mentions the circumstance of their having selected their gentlemen to be elevated to the peer age, as a usual prelude to the resignation of a Ministry. But the ministerial organs appear to think that it is at present unsafe to predict what may be the ultimate result.

Archibald Mitchell, second engineer of the Bogota, was then placed in the dock, charged with having, on the 25th January, upon the high seas, feloniously murdered Thomas Landon Mr. Attorney General Bliss, and Mr. Overend, 1.1.`0., conducted the prosecution. Mr. Brett and Mr. Deigh 'ton defended the prisoner. Mr. .Aspinall appeared to watch the case on behalf of the absent prisoner, Buchanan. Mr. Attorney-General Bliss said : May it please your Lordship—Gentlemen of the Jury—There needs very little more than tte statement, on the part of the Crown, of the nature of this case, to secure your . patient, earnest, and continued attention throughout the whole. You will find in it much, perhaps, to tax your patience, which must be endured. You may find something to move your feelings, which you must suppress and resist ; and if, after,patient enquiry, you find anything whichinvolves a painful respon sibility, you must spew firmness, and strength of mind and of character sufficient for it. But if, after patient enquiry, you find the case involved-in any doubt which you cannot, from your investigation, dispel, you will give the prisoner the benefit of that reasonable doubt- Gentlemen, the prisoner stands indicted, by the name of Archibald Mitchell, together with another person, named. John Buchanan, who is not in custody, for the wilful murder of one Thomas Landor. The offence was committed upon the 25th day of January last, about five o'clock in the afternoon of that day, upon the high seas, on board the British ship Bogota, on her passage from Rio Janeiro, in the Brazils, South America, to Liverpool. The ship belongs, as you_ will find, to the Pacific Steam Navigation Company. The means of death charged are the confining the deceased, Landor, in a place called the stoke-hole, where the heat was excessive ; where, in consequence of that heat, nature and animal life became suspended, and from which he was removed, in a dying state, on to the deck, where shortly he ceased to exist. The•prisoner at the bar was, in a sub ordinate "capacity, employed on board the ship, and the deceased was also employed on board her as a stoker. The ship Bogota was a steam-paddle ship of about 658 tons burthen. She had gone from England, in the year 1852, to the Pacific Ocean, and had been employed there in carrying the mails from Panama to Valparaiso, until the end of - December last year, at which time she was ordered home to England from Valparaiso for repairs. The deceased Landor was a native of Cornwall, and a miner. He had been employed in mining in Chili, had saved a little money there,.had wished to come home ; "and being a frugal man, who had others depending upon him, he desired to work his passage home,. and thus save the expense of the passage money. He accordingly entered on board the Bogota as a stoker, being no seaman and unable to go aloft, and he signed - the ship's articles in that capacity. The ship sailed from Valparaiso on the 27th of December, 1858, having a crew of 67 persons, under the command of Henry Wild, master ; and among the crew there. were four engineers, of whom John Buchanan, who is indicted with the prisoner, was the chief engineer, and the prisoner, Archibald Mitchell, - was the second engineer. There were also 12 firemen, and there were six stokers, among whom was the deceased man Thomas Landor. There was a doctor too on board, who will be called before you. Gentlemen, the ship sailed upon the 27th of December, she doubled Cape Horn, and put into Rio Janeiro. During the cold weather, or upon cool days, the deceased man was equal to his work, but when they came into warm latitudes he found himself quite unable to endure the heat of the stoke-hole. So much did he feel it that he complained immediately,and endeavoured to change situations with another man, offering the latter £lO for doing so. In this, however, he did not succeed, and on ap proaching Rio Janeiro he even proposed and intended to be discharged from the ship in • the capacity of stoker or one of the crew, and to pay for his passage -home ; but he afterwards changed his mind upon the point. The ship put into Rio Janeiro upon the 21st or 22nd of Jannary, and wjiile there the flues and furnaces were all cleared out and put in perfect order. On the 25th of January the vessel departed from Rio. The fires were lit in the morning, and abont twelve o'clock she put to sea. The deceased Landor was in one of the watches, and in the watch which belonged to the prisoner at the bar. On that day his watch was up to twelve o'clock, and then from four to eight. At twelve o'clock he went down to the stoke-hole, and did his duty there. The ship had four boilers and two stoke-holes, and the machinery was between the four boilers. The deceased went to the after stoke-hole, and did his duty there in clearing out. the ashes and in bringing coals until twelve o'clock. From that time he went off duty and went to the forecastle, where he remained until four o'clock. At four o'clock he was called upon to return to his duty. The day was extremely warm. There was no air stirring. There had been some rain, but the heat was so great that the captain of the ship forebore to give his men any hard duty ; and one or two of the men notwithstanding were, I believe knocked off by the excessive heat, from exhaustion. • At four o'clock the deceased being called upon to go to his duty, went down to the after stock-hole, aid after some time came back being unable to endure the heat. Mitchell, the prisoner at the bar, ordered him down again, and he went down and stayed some little time. He came up again and sank down, or fell down upon the deck quite exhausted. die complained that he could not stand the heat, and said Mitchell leaked at him, went up the ladder, and retittned again after no long time with the chief engineer, John Buchanan, and the doctor. They came down and saw, the deceased, who was lying there insensible, unconscious, and unable to move. They had him carried upon deck, where he was gasping,' his respiration coming only at long intervals. He remained in that state. The doctor ordered his head to be bathed with cold water. The respiration , became slower and more unfre quent and at last it ceased altogether. I believe means were taken by the doctor to promote artificial respiration by rolling him over on his side, but it was all too late-4he man was dead. He was buried that night, as is usual on board ship, and the ship went on her course, and arrived in Liverpool on the 6th of March. On her arrival some of the crew made a complaint to the police, and both Bnchanan and Mitchell were arrested. Mitchell, when arrested, said whatever he had done he did by the order of his superior, meaning, I suppose, John Buchanan. Now, gentlemen, these are all the facts of this case, or at least the most im portant facts, and to prove these I shall call before you many of the crew—not all of them, although all who were before the committing magistrate are here ready to be called, and shall be produced and put in the box 'if my learned friends who defend the prisoner think there is anything they can state which may be more favourable for the defence. You must not expect from persons in their rank of life an exact coincidence in everything they state. There will be discre pancies probably in time, and periods of time, and even in the order of events, but it will be for your discrimination and good sense to endeavour to see whether you do not get the substantial truth, and whether according to that truth you are not satisfied of the crime which is laid to the charge of the prisoner. The doctor also will be called before you —not that the case for the prosecution rests upon the doc tor's statement or opinion, for I believe this is hardly what can be termed.a medical question as to what was the cause of the death. If the deceased was in fair health before he was taken down to that place, where the heat I understand was so excessive that no individual could remain in that position above five or six minutes ; and if while there he sank as I have described, was taken out lifeless, and died soon after he came on deck, it becomes a question, perhaps, which you can determine as well as any medical man, who after all conld only give le arne d names t o w h a t probably you could understand as clearly in plain terms. Gentlemen, the prisoner said when arrested, that whatever he had done was done by the order of his superior officer, and it is not improbable that this . will be urged in his de fence among other.things before yon. It will probably also be made to appear that an opinion prevailed, and, perhaps, was shared in by the prisoner ,at the bar, that the deceased was what they call skulking or shirking his work. I believe you will think that upon this occasion at least, there was no pretence, but an honest inability to perform that kind of work at the time he was set to do it, and, perhaps, you will think that anybody who witnessed what will be detailed to you ought to have known this. But even if the prisoner at the bar did believe that the deceased was skulking, and that he was declining work which he had the ability to do, it does not follow that either he or John Buchanan had any right to punish him in that manner, and to that degree and extent. There was a master on board the ship who alone, I believe, had the right of inflicting such punishment as might be required. Neither the prisoner at the bar nor John Buchanan had any right of that kind, but even if they had, this kind of punishment is such, as I submit, ought not to have been inflicted, or if inflicted ought not to have been continued to that extent. Gentlemen, the prisoner, perhaps, may urge, or it may be urged for him, that you cannot believe he intended to kill this man ; but even if you should be of that opinion, that will make no difference in the crime now laid to his charge ; for it is not necessary, in'order to constitute the crime, that the person who kills the deceased should have intended to kill him. If he intended, deliberately and wilfully, to do him serious bodily harm, dangerous to life, and did him serious bodily harm, and in consequence of that the man died, he is guilty of the capital offence, even if he did not intend to kill. But, gentlemen I shall, before I close, call yo ur a tt en ti on t o one or two things which bear upon both these parts of the defence ; for, if the prisoner had been an unwilling instru ment, and had executed an order which he believed himself bound to obey, although the order was illegal, and, as is case here, one which he was not bound to obey, this fact might, although not constituting a defence to the charge, perhaps entitle him to commisseration and to mercy. But there are some circumstances I shall have to bring before you which bear upon this point, and which are well worthy of your attention. I believe . you will find that the idea of tying the deceased below originated with the prisoner at the bar, and that he had threatened to chain him down there before any order was given. I believe you will find that the prisoner at the bar had provided ropes to do it before any order was given, and I believe you will find that the prisoner at the bar, during the whole time the deceased was confined there, was walking near, where he must have seen him, where he must have heard him, and where a word from him would, perhaps, have relieved him, which word was not spoken, nor any effort made until he was told that the min was dead. As to the idea of his being chained there to keep him to his work, he could do no work there, for he could not move from the place. These, gentlemen, are the facts of the case, and you will judge them according to the evi dence and according to the law ; and let me say, that if you have heard anything of this case anti have formed any opinion from what has reached you, I conjure you to dis miss everything of the kind from your mind, and to decide upon the facts as dispassionately as the law itself rules. If you find any doubt , upon any points, either of law upon which you will have the direction of the learned judge by which you will be bound or upon the facts upon which you will have the testimony of the witnesses, you will find it your duty to give the pris oner the benefit of the doubt, and A few minutes after the, firing, he prayed to his Maker toi relieve him and take him away from that place. Ido not recollect the Vf ords.he used. It was a few minutes after the firing. I should think that he uttered the prayer loud enough for a person in the engine-room to hear him. I saw nothing happen to him until near the second firing, and then I saw him yield to the rope as if his strength had given way, and he swung by the rope. The time between the firing is about half an hour and it was about five minutes before the sec o n d firing that he yielded to the rope. His body swung towards the ladder. At times his head was- about eighteen inches from the furnace, and at other times it would be about six inches from it. Up to this time, he had continued to pray at inter vals, but ceased when he fell. Wilson come to fire up. The deceased could not utter a word at that time. I was stand ing on deck looking down. And went away, and when I came back the man was cut down, and was brought on deck, and was about two or three paces from the stoke-hole. He could be seen from the engine-room when he was tied to the ladder. Some days after, I tried for diversion to see how long I could stand it, and I was not able to stand over five minutes. The man was there for 30 minutes. There was a man called Lawson, a stoker, who knocked off work in consequence of the heat. The boatswain had that day been ill from sun-stroke. At the time that the 'deceased was made fast, there was nothing to do in the stoke-hole. There was a man named Jones Bell, and another called John Hughes, in the same stoke-hole with deceased. The deceased was on Mitchell's watch, and Mitchell was on his duty at the time. To Mr. Brett : I was not at sea for ten years before this voyage. When I am at home I live in Glasgow. I could not say what size the ship was. She had a forecastle. I don't know the number of the crew. I think that model is very like the ship. The ladder going down to the bottom was not fast. Just behind the ladder there was a bench or seat used by the firemen to sit and rest themselves on when their work was done. When. the ship was under way, the fore stoke-hole was much cooler than the after, if the wind was ahead, but if the wind was abaft it made it hotter. The reason why we changed from one stoke-hole to the other was, that we might have a fair turn of the hot and cold. I always obeyed the engineers, and would have done anything that I was told when it was my watch. When the firemen had done work, they usually sat on the bench below, and many a time stayed for half an hour. I have sat on that bench very often myself. There was no bench in the after stoke-hole, and this bench was put there by ourselves for the purpose of sitting on. I don't know of the deceased ever leaving his work, but I have known him to complain of the heat, and go on deck for a few minutes. I would not say that he threw his work on other men, but I will answer for myself, and I could have done as much work in ten minutes as would, allow me to go on deck, and I think he could have done the same. I heard the men say that this man was a skulker ; I don't know that the men complained to the officers ; I thought he was a skulker, because he was always complaining when he was below and was well enough when he was on deck. I think he did his share of the work, but though I called him a skulker it made no difference to me when he did his work. He had often left his work on the voyage from Valparasio, and in a few minutes after he got on deck he was always well enough. I did not see the chief engineer looking down the hatchway. I did not see the doctor examine deceased, nor did I hear the chief engineer say anything to Mitchell. I will pledge my oath that the rope was made fast round his arms, but he could move his arms. If I had been placed in the same position I would have loosed myself. During the time he was tied there were a good many looked down the hatchway. I heard that Mr. Mitchell was at work- straightening iron bars in the after stoke-hole, if he was I never saw him work. Lander should have been helping the firemen at the time, and Mitchell should not have been doing it at all. I won't swear that it did not rain that day, but I have no recollection of it raining. I saw Wilson go down the passage towards where Mr: Mitchell was. Wilson was put in irons during the yoyage, by the chief engineer, but I never had any dispute with the engineers. The first person taken into cnstody was Mr. Buchanan, the chief engineer. I gave evidence before Mr. Mansfield, and so did Wilson. I have been like others taking a glass. I don't remember being asked to tell the story of the roasted sailor. I have heard the expression, but I did not like to hear it, because I did not think it was right. My evidence was taken down in the court-house. I was taken to an office to give my evidence. It may have been the office of the gentleman who is con ducting the prosecution. To Attorney-General Bliss : The reason I can say that the man was half-an-hour in the stoke hole was, because I saw two firings during the time he was down. I never saw or knew anything about the straight ening of the bars mentioned. The rope that was used to tie the man would be about the thickness of my middle finger. I did not see the deceased try to get loose. On that day I did not see any of the firemen sitting on that box during that day, except an old man who was ill in health, and who has died since he came ashore. The ladder was moveable. It had hooks at the top, but I do not think that the deceased could have removed the ladder and gone away. I looked down the hatchway, and saw the old man sitting there when the deceased was tied. His name was Robert Lynn or Lang, and he was a fireman. Robert Wilson examined by Mr. Hosack : I was a stoker on board the Bogota. I remember the deceased coming on board. After we left Valparaiso, we had some cold weather, but, as we approached Rio, the weather became changed. We left Rio on the. 25th January. It was a hot day. I recollect firing the furnaces, on the port side, about half-past four o'clock in the after noon. I heard Mr. Mitchell call for a rope. I think he called Buchanan, the stoker. I don't know where Mitchell was, as I was using the shovel. I did not see the chief engineer. The deceased was tied with the rope to the port side of the ladder. The rope was round the man's body, but I could not say whether it was round his arms. .re would not do it. The prisoner at the bar insisted upon you will give it with pleasure.
