LOSS OF THE GUN-BOAT JASPER.

The Admiralty, we understand, have received offi-
cial confirmation of the loss of the gunboat Jasper,
reported with detail :in the Express of Wednesday
week. The Jasper can lees conveniently be spared
just now from our Eastern squadron than some
vessels of larger armament, her two gnus having
recently done service at points sot to be approached
by the Miranda' and Terrible' of the fleet. Bhe
was last employed off Taganrog. The Russians make
out a consequential relation between her loss and a
shot from one of her guns, which a few hours before
ate tick the wall of a minster where the faithful were
engaged in holy offices. As the boat was on her way
to rejoin the squadron, she ran aground about 100
yards from the shore. One of those sudden falls to
which inland seas are liable upon a change of wind.
soon left her more and more aground, and she
settled firmly is the sand. In this situation she was
exposed to a firs of musketry from • party of Cos.
socks of the Doe, who had been attracted to the
scene. the crew, finding it impossible to save the sea-
m!, left her, whereupon the Cossacks approached and
set the wreck on fire. The Hetnaan of these Cossacks
produces a flag, which be affirms was taken from the
Jasper.

Another ftret-clue ship of the line is to be built at
Pembroke Dockyard. fibs is to sorry 130 broadside sad

WESTMINSTER.

Isabella Nosy Jolly, 42 years of age, who stands charged
with the wilful murder of her =ahem, underwent • very
lengthened examination.
The principal additional evident, was that of Mr. W.
Bird, greengrocer, of 13, Arthur-street, who said—The
prisoner, whom I lied known as a neighbour for 18 months,
same to my shop on the 9th inst. in a very dejected state.
She mid the had • deal of trouble on her mind, and that if
she had had a rams in the house the would have cut her
throat. She told me she wee involved in debt, owing to
not being able to get any lodgers, and that
everybody, now she owed • trifle, seemed to be
upon her. She said she owed one quarter's rent.
I told he, if I could get 101. ei anything the
should have it, and I should be most happy to
assist her any way I could. I told her when she complained
of lowness, that if the truted in Providence she would get
the better of it, and recommended her when she felt deject,
Ito come to our how. She did not summed in getting any
lodgers, and cam again on the Saturday following in
a very dejected state. She told me she could not hear
up against her trouble, and that what few pounds her
mother had, had been spent to keep them upon. There
woe nothing more coming in, and nothing but poverty
stared her in the Gee. I said, "If you make away with your-
self, you will leave your poor mother to the mercy of the
world," when she replied that she could not see her want,
nor leave her behind to want. I have always heard
the prisoner speak to the highest terms of her mother. She
appeared to he very affectionate to her.
The prisoner was then reminded till *day.

THE ANGLO-ITALIAN LEGION.

The Pugh; do laßootroo of Berlin says that Austria
has declared that she will treat according to military
law every individual found tampering with Austrian
soldiers, or with any persons subject to military regula-
tions, with a view of inducing them to join the
Anglo-talian Legion.
A great number of Lombard, Venetian, French, and
Neapolitan officers, demand admission into the Anglo.
Italian Legion. Colonel Ribffi, who took part in
the insurrections of the Romagna, in 1843 and 1846,
and in the movement of the Calabrians in 1848, and
who has just left the prisons of Naples after an im- '
peitioament of six years, has been named commander
of a regiment, and commissioned to organise a legion.
Colonel Count Zambecoari, of Bologue, who is the
terror of the retrograde governments of Italy, hr.
also arrived at Turin, to take service in the legion.
The nomination of Garibaldi to the grade of cap-
tain of the Piedmontese Marine of the first class,
causes much uneasiness to the governments of Rome
and Naples—more especially as he is to command
two steamers plying between Genoa and Smart and
will thus be constantly by the side of the shores of
these two countries.

At Naples the Court is the prey b strong appre-
hensions, and the most lively fears are entertsined of
a movement in Sicily.

VIENNA, THURSDAY.

OMER PACHA AND THE TURKISH CON-

TINOENT.

(FROM OUR OWN

CONSTANTINOPLE, Ayoub: 13.
The great local event of the week has been Omer
Pacha's investiture with the Grand Cordon of the
Order of the Bath, which took place at the Embassy
(in Pen) on Saturday.
The illustrious object of all this honour is
about, as you have heard, to take his army
from the Crimea into Asia. The exact point
selected for his operations is not as yet publicly
known, though Kars is spoken of as the most likely.
It this be really the destination of his force, I ven-
ture to think it very badly chosen. The Kars army
already numbers some thirty thousand men—a body
for the provisioning and winter lodgment of which
quite enough of difficulty will arise without enhancing
it by doubling the number of mouths to be provided
for. As far as operations against the enemy p,
nothing whatever could be done before spring, as
by the time the force could be transported to Trebi-
gond, and thence march over the mountains of Erre-
ronm, and on to Kars--a difficult and harassing jour-
ney of nearly 350 miles, over a region without roads,
and destitute of supplies—the Siberian winter of
those districts would have set in, and all the ember-
ramments and hardships which attend an army with-
out a commissariat would press on them with most
destructive rigour. During the campaign of last
year and the year before the Kars force had seldom
more than four days' provision in store, and this
when theroute toErzeroum was uninterrupted and the
country in that direction free from the presence of a
single Russian soldier. I have heard experienced
military men say that the right destination for
Onter's army would be the coast of Circles* a
point within four or five days' steaming dis-
tance from Constantinople, and from which
he could threaten Kritais, and otherwise most
effectively harass the Russian army of Georgia
in its rear, whilst Schamyl, from the north-east of
Tiflis, and General Williams, from Kars, might com-
plete its difficulties, by arranged cooperative and
simultaneous action. Late as the season is, muck
might be done in this way even yet, before the
November snows put an end to this year's campaign
and, at all events, spring would find matters in a teals
which most result in important successes in them
hitherto overlooked and neglected regions. Will this
coarse be adopted, or shall we have the old spectacle
of a half-fed and useless crowd of troops concentrated

THE FOREIGN LEGION.

HELIGOLAND, Anorer 20.
Her Majesty's steam vessel Alban arrived here on
Friday, and embarked yesterday 150 recruits for the
camp at Shorncliffe. Upwards of 100 floe young men
arrived here from the north of Germany during the
course of last week, and yesterday another batch (136)
landed on the island and reported themselves to the
commanding officer.
Colonel von Steinbach is quite adored by the troops,
who speak of him with the warmest enthusiasm. It
is true he treats them himself with the greatest
humanity, and will not suffer them to be bullied or
punished. He is always ready to hear their com-
plaints and redress their grievances.
There are at this moment 2.50 recruits again here,
and the Alban is under orders to return to this island
the latter end of this week to fetch them. On the
whole, the number of recruits sent to England
amounts to 1,750, so that the second thousand will
now be complete.
The money that was expected for the pay of the
reeruits and indemnification of the inhabitante for
their potatoe fields taken for the camp of wooden
huts has not arrived, and this has created some dis-
content amongst the Heligolanders.

TO Till aDITOZ 01" THIS BIPRZbB.

Sin,—Your leading article of to-day on the subject
of the expulsion of the French refugees from Jersey con-
tains a rather severe oaelaught on Lord Palmerston. Yon
seem to wonder that your liberal contemporaries of the daily
press have not " opened" on her Majesty's government with
the same degree of indignation which you have considered it
your duty to employ on the ozcas!on.
Now, sir, I must humbly beg leave to appeal from your-
self to yourself. In an article contained in your columns a
few days since, you deprecated the fierce tone which, pie-
lions to the recent trial at the Old Bailey, bad been adopted
by certain other journals in reference to the crime of which
the Strand bankers have been convicted. As a general tule,
no doubt, such strictures on cases sub 'Mime had better be
abstained from, or tap d only in a hypothetical form.
In this case, however, the delinquents had already, months
ago, confessed their guilt; and the proceedings at the Bank-
ruptcy Court bed yen. ered the case as clear as daylight.
But this by the way. My object in troubling you with the
present communication is this—admitting the forte of the
general (and I may add generous) maxim that every men is
to be presumed innocent until proved to be guilty,
I should much wish to see its effect extended from
judicial matters to political —so far, at least, as
the nature of things will bear. How often is
this excellent, this most reasonable, principle set at
nought by political speakers and writers? If in all cues it
should be kept in view, is parliament, is private conversa-
tion, and in published writings, bow much more so when
the party attacked has no Urea or available means of de-
fending himself ? Were parliament at this moment sitting,
the Premier might, for aught that you or I can tell, trium•
pbantly vindicate his proceeding!, and show that the truck.
IMg motives which you have imputed to him have had no
Watteau. Believe me, sir, this constant imputation of im-
proper motives goes far to neutralise the salutary itieurtice
of political writers. And how easily may it be retorted !
There are really acme journalists (I do not, as you may well
believe, include amongst them the Editor of the Daily News)
who appear utterly incapable of attributing any but bad
motives to those politically opposed to them. Da not you,
sir, u you value your daily increasing reputation as an
organ of liberal (truly liberal) opinions, cast in your lot
with such men. Honesty is the best policy, and there can
be no real political honesty without oaadour.—l am, ac.,

flames bad instigated the unoonstitational proceedings at
Jersey : their illegality we proved by reference to judicial
jcesedsats.)

TO TILE EDITOR OP TILE EXPRESS.

SIR,—In all your remarks on the expulsion of the
exiles from Jersey you appeal to the laws and the constitu-
tion of England. The questien whether these pi Mos have
been treated justly or not depends on whether the laws or
constitution of Jersey have been violated. lam no admirer
of Jersey laws, and when 1 was there, now some yeast:nee,
Jersey justice was not in very good reptves; but the people
ate attached to finis laws and centtitutien, and all English
attempt, to alter them have been resisted. If ever 1r,4
popish demanded the expulsion of any peseon, the people
' of Jersey have done so, as I think just:y ; but that en not
for us to cosesider. If the elites come to London, and swell
the number of cur retype population, they will be liable eo
indictments for misde meatour at they violate the en.. DAM
law. This they must be held to know before they take
shelter here. The same knowledge of the Jersey law must
ke assumed. As to the merits of the case, I think

A BARRISTER.

" A Barrister" has omitted one very important point; he
has not ventured to assert that the ezreleion of the refugees
from Jersey is consistent with Jersey law. MurEu%er he
attempts to vindicate that outrageous proceeding on the
ground that it was demanded by the vox populi--.11 other
words, that it was an exercise of Lynch-law. Even this is not
true. The thirty presents last driven from Jersey have not
been proved to have any connexion with the journal
L'lleismo, and no voice bas been raised in Jersey for their
expulsion. "A Barrister" ought to try to make himself
acquainted with the facts of the case, and with the law of
Jersey, before be again ventures to writs on the isbjee.)

IN TUI XL? 31 OF :OEN

This insolvent, • carpenter at Walthamstow, was further
heard under the Protection Act. Mr. Bargood opposed for
Mr. W. Jennings, and Mr. Reed supported.
This case was before reported. An objection was taken
to the opposition, on the ground that the insolvent was left
• legacy of 601., which Mr. W. Jennings, as executor of his
mother, had not paid. It wea stated on the other side that
there had been great expense incurred, and the estate
wasted by the expense the insolvent bad put the executor to
in the action of ejectment.
Mr. COMlo6llllllOttei Murphy thought the question in the
case was the alleged advance by the insolvent's daughter,
and her retention of his freehold property. He could not
say that the meta incurred in the action of ejectment was •
vexatious defence._

The insolvent's daughter was examined. She bad stated
on the former examination that she had a legacy left her of
1001. t_oy a Mr. Reeves, and she had lent some put of it to
May Berry, who was in the service of Sir James Duke. A
letter had been reouved from Sir James Duke, that he
never had such a person in his service. The youeg woman
now said it was Sir James Duke's sister, Mrs. Hill, who
acted as Lady Mayoress. The gentleman who paid her the
legacy was deed.
After a good deal of discussion, the case was adjourned
for a fortnight, for evidence to be given that the insolvent's
daughter had the means of making the advances she
alleged.

THE ACCIDENT TO THE PERSEVERANCE

SCREW STEAMER.

The Perseverance, screw steam ship, which cap-
sized in Woolwich Dockyard (es previously reported), soli
remains in the same position, the attempts by the govern-
ment officers to
.raise her b 7 chains, doe., having failed.
She lies in the new stone graving-dock in the eastern pert
of the yard. In getting her into the dock—the ship being
upwards of 300 feet long—it was necessary to raise her up
on extra blocks, so as to bring her head close up to the edge
of the dock, to admit of the cassoon being fixed at the
entrance. When the water was let in, and the vessel
turned over, she slipped some 16 or 16 feet from her original
position, so that her stern extended out, as it were, from
the entrance, thus preventing the cassoons being re-fixed.
It is already known that the ship filled with the tide.
Examination since of het port side, which lay en the
blocks, at the bottom of the dock, shows that she has
started rue or more of her plates, no donut caused
by the force with which she turned over on them.
A cofferdam has been built at the entrance to
the dock to prevent the tide flowing in; this has
enabled workmen temporarily to repair the started plates on
her port-side; her hatches, cabins, &c., have been tightly
battened down with planking, and attempts will be made at
the next spring tides to float her. It is thought that the
weight of her engines, water tanks, and the 60 tons of bal-
last that were, and remain, in her, will cause the ship to
Tighten, without any additional aid, as the whole of her
heavy yards, topmasts, and rigging have been removed.
There is one great difficulty, however, apparent—the keel
now rests on the "altars," or stone steps, at the west side,
descending to the bottom el the dock, and it is apprehended
that in floating her she will do herself greater injury in her
efforts to right herself—by striking on the "altars," oe
steps—unless some means are devised, as she feels her buoy-
ancy, to haul her more into the body of the dock. We are
given to understand that the government have now sold the
ship for 16/. leu per ton than what they gave for her. They
have two other ships building on her ►ines at Blackwell,
and two others, named C 88 and C 69, now fitting out in the
Eat India Docks, are of the same description. The Europa,
steam ship, which toppled over in the East India fitting-out
basin, a few weeks since, was built on the saute lines as the
Perseverance.

ADMIRALTY COURT.-FEB. 14.

112•08111 DL LITIMPIPTON.
TBI BALLAST BOHM' B.—DAYAOI.
This was a suit brought by the brig Dove, of 106 tons,
against the Ballast Hopper B, belonging to Sunderlaad, for
a collision which occurred between them on the river at
that port on the 3rd of May last.
The Dove alleged that being on her voyage from Yar-
mouth to Sunderland, in ballast, she took on board a pilot
as soon as she entered the river, and engaged the services of
a steamer called the Banger, which towed her up the rim,
at a speed of about two miles an hour, the tide being then
running in at about the same rate. When opposite the
Ballast Wharf she pared the Gently 'toaster, which was
towing the Hopper down the opposite side, and immediately
afterwards the Hopper steered across the river, ran against
the brig, and drove bar against the Vigilant. The case on
behalf of the Hopper was preshely similar, namely, that the
brig had herself steered awns the river, and ran against the
HT he npper.
Trinity Muters were of opinion that both vessels
were to blame, the brig in coming up the river with too
much way on her, and the Hopper in not being properly
managed.
Dr. Lush in gift entirely agreed in that opinion, and ordered
the damage to be divided.

This was an action brought by the steamahip Neptune,
of 173 tons, against the Daniel, screw steamer, of 84 tons,
for an accident in the Tyne, on the 27th of Jul. The
Neptune was on her way from Hull to Newcastle, with
goods and a cargo of iron, and the collision with the Daniel,
which was on her voyage with goods and passengers from
Newcastle to Yarmouth, occurred in the narrow channel
near Bill Point. It appears that there was a large sallies
ship in the way, sad that both deanery in rounding her on

MONEY MARKET.

WZDNUDLT Bunnies.
The English stock market was steady during a part
of the morning, but showed decided heaviness
towards the close, owing to some influential sales,
coupled with a sudden fall at Paris, and the crop of
adverse rumours usually ,airculated on news of any
unfavourable movement of prices on the other aide of
the channel. The broker who usually act, for govern-
ment also continues a seller. Prices closed at the
lowest point of the day, and per cent, lower than
yesterday. Stock Exchange business continues
generally very stagnant.
Money continues in good demand in Lombard-
strait, but the market to-day was somewhat easier.
The Paris bourse to-day experienced a decided fall-

Half per Cents. did not exceed per cent. At
Amsterdam a general decline has taken place; and
at Vienna the bourse is also gloomy, and the
exchange on London has risen to 12.23.
Consols were supported during a part of the
morning at 911 to 1 for the Bth of March, but

A CAUTION FOR FROSTY WEATHER.

An accident, attended with serious, and, it may
be, fatal consequences, occurred yesterday, about 1 o'clock,
at the house, 12, Park View, Chorlton-road. It was the
bursting of a kitchen boiler, arising, as it seems, from the
heating of it whilst empty, and supplying it with cold water
whilst in cheated state. The suff.wers by the accident were
two women. Beth were very much bruised and scalded.
One had her left thigh fractured ; the other war so severely
scalded that it is feared, if she escape with life, she will be
totally deprived of eyesight; but slight hopes are enter-
tained of her reoorwy. The accident, it appears, Mtn in
this way:—The cistern supplying the boiler is over the back
part of the house. Its supply of water is regulated by a ball
tap. The water descends by means of a pipe to the boiler
at the side of the kitchen fire, is heated by paving through
it, and finding its own level, ascends, by another pipe, to
hot water cistern, which adjoins the cold water rue. The
house had been unoccupied about a week. The recent cold
weather bad frozen the contents of the cold water cistern
and the descent to the besting boiler was thus stopped.
On Monday, an incoming tenant took possession of the
house. A the was lighted in the kitchen. The heat eva-
porated the contents of the beating boiler, and it was thus
totally emptied. Yesterday another fire was lighted In the
morning, and by noon the boiler would be heated almost
to radar's. A supply of water being required, a lad was
sent up to the cistern. He broke away the ice, and the
water being thus liberated, a terrific explosion ensued. The
boiler was shattered to *cis, as were all the contents of
the kitchen. The brickwork about it was thrown down;
and a brick was actually forced through an cuter wall some
three or four yards distant. A door opposite was broken
to pieces; the windows of that and the houses on both sides
were smashed ; and, indeed, the destruction was so exten-
sive ani complete that it is surprising the two women who
were in the place, and who were engaged in cleaning, were
not killed on the spot.—Martrliester Guardian.
