JAPAN.

Mr. LIDDELL asked whether any application bad been
made to the Governor-General of India for troops to be em-
ployed in Japan; and, further, whether the Governor-
General had the power of ordering troops for foreign ser-
vice without the previous unction of that home ? He was
induced to ask this question in 000 sequence of what was
now occurring in Japan, sod of an announcement reported
to have been made by Admiral Cooper to the British resi-
dents upon these islands that he was unable to afford them
protection.
Sir C. WOOD—I am not aware that any application of
that kind has been made to the Govertior.GeneraL
THE ATTACK IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.

Mr. BLAKE inquired of the President of the Board of
Trade whether his attention had been called to a late mur-
derous attack by a maniac on two fellow-passengers, in a
railway carriage on the North Western line, between Liver-
pool and London, whereby they received wounds seriously
endangering their lives ; and inquired whether the govern-
ment intended taking any and what steps to compel rail-
way companies to provide means to enable passengers to
obtain avirietance in the event of outrage or accident ?

Mr. H. GIBSON said hie attention had not bees called
to the matter beyond having, like his hon friend, read the
amount in the newspaper.. He presumed that the question
referred to the necessity of there being some means of com-
munication with the guards aveilatee to the passenger.
(Hear, hear.) That was a subject which had no doubt bees
mentioned occasionally by inspectors of railways, but there
were objections which were equally deserving of considera-
tion. He could not say that the Board of Trade had in view
any proposal on the subject. They had frequently sent
circulars to railway companies calling their attention to the
necessity of having • means of osmmunication between
guards and drivers, but he did not know that they had
evereuggested a means of communication between passengers
and guards. He could not pronounce an opinion upon that
point, but it was • matter well worthy of consideration.

TEIB MI4OW COURT MARTIAL.

Mr. CONINGHAY salted the Under-Seeretary of State
for War whether be would Is upon the table of the house
• cop of the warrant ranted to the commander-in-chief
in India, authorising him to confirm and carry into effect
the findings sod sentence of general courts-martial
00 officer.. He also begged to uk what were the circum-
stances under which Lieutenant Adjutant Fitiemon wee
removed by the military authorities in India from the
adjutancy of the Enniskillen Damao= ; when was that
removal reported to the Commander-is-Chief, and had it
received the sanction and approval of hie royal highness?
The Mullah' of HARTINOTON stated in reply to the
first question that there would be no objection to lay the
warreut milted for on the table. In reply to the sec his
hon. friend would fiod by reference to the "Army
List" that Lieutenant Fitmimon had not aa yet
here removed from the adjutancy of the Ennis-
killen Dragoons. He bad been suspended by Lieutenant-
Culonelera wley, but the Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief
had determine.' upon rot confirming the suspens,on until
after the court-martial which was shout to be held in &g-
-land. As the main question to be derided at that court-
martial moss out of a differeace of statement between
Lieutenant-Colonel Crawley and Lieutenant Fitzsimon, the
house would see the propriety of this course.
Mr. BOUVERIE wished before the question dropped
to say a word rupectiog the memorandum which bad been
produced in compliance with his motion. That memeran-
dam did not neaten:l the information he bad expected, and
be wished to ask whether there was not another document
signed by the Adjutant-General, and which had been for-
warded to India by the Commander-in-Chief.

The Marquis of lIARTINGTON replied that if there Ina
any other document it must be one of the numerous letters
which had passed between the Horse•Guarde and the mili-
tary authorities in India, and if his hoc. friend willed for
it his better course would be to move for the whole of the
correspoodenes, when the Secretary of State would consider
the propriety of its production.

INDIA.

On the motion for going into committee on the India
revenue accounts,
Kr. 6. DUFF drew attention to the expediency of
transferring the seat of Indian government to some point
more eligible than Calcutta.
Mr. GREOSON saw no reason for • change, because he
thought the wishes of the hon. gentleman were at present
practicallcarried out.
Sir C. WOOD said the subject bad excited considerable
interest in India, and some persons thought it desirable to
move the seat of government from Calcutta, but he very
much questioned whether any light could be thrown upon
the matter by a mere repetition of the debate which took
place last year. (Hear, bear.) The hon. member room.
mended them to leave Calcutta, and go wandering about
India until they could find some place of rest. Of all the
inconvenient modes ever recommended, that was the most
inconvenient. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. LIDDELL wished to ask whether the Governor-
General of India bad power to order troops upon foreign
service without the previous sanction of parliament. He
repeated his question because the right hon. gentleman had
not given him any answer.
Sir C. WOOD said that, under ordinary circumstances, no
such thing could be done, but under extraordinary circum-
stances the Governor-General would have power to do so.

ATTITUDE OF FRANCE IN THE POLISH
QUESTION. _ -

PARIS, JULY 23.

It is asserted on good authority that the French
government has decided upon the terms of its reply
to Prince Gortchakors despatch. The reply will
be sent to London and Vienna to-day. The Eng-
lish and Austrian notes are continually expected
in Paris. .

The Pays of this evening says :—" Despatches
received from Vienna state that great irritation ham
been produced there by the reply of Prince Gort.
chakoff."

The Empress left this morning for Vichy.
The Pays of this evening publishes an article
signed by its editorial secretary, announcing that
an exchange of communications has taken place
between the cabinets of London, Paris, and Vienna.

" Throughout France," says the Pays, " in the
departments as in Paris, iu the saloons as in the
workshops, there exists but one feeling, namely,
approval of the steps taken by the government of
the Emperor, and a determination to sustain it in
the firm and dignified attitude which it intends to
assume in face of the singular pretensions of Russia.
People have judged the Russian replies instinc-
tively, and have found in them offensive expres-
sions, and fresh causes of irritation."
La France, of this evening, says Prince Metter-
midi had a long conference with M. Drouyn de
Lhuys this morning.

AUSTRIA AND POLAND.
VIENNA, Jinx 23.

In to-day's sitting of the Lower House Count
Real'lirg, in reply to a question respecting the late
violation of Austrian territory by Russian troops,
stated that the satisfaction already given by the
Grand Duke Constantine was considered sufficiert.
The Minister of Police stated that the troops bad
fired upon the people in the streets of Cracow, in
pursuance of their instructions, and because they
were insulted by the populace. He also stated that
in sending into the interior insurgents who had
been arrested upon their entering the Austrian
territory, the government had only fulfilled its
international obligations.
The law for the protection of the personal liberty
of Austrian citizens could not apply in questions of

POINT OF VIEW.

The People's Gazelle of Berlin, of the 20th, gives
us a Prussian view of the situation. Our contem-
porary says:
We do not think it likely that the Polish war will be
postponed till the spring. If war is to be waged it shonid
be done now, or all the advantages to the Poles will be u-
crificed. France has every kind of motive for not
allowing to escape the facilities which are offered
by a war this autumn, and for not waiting the doubtful
situation of the approaching spring. When we remember
the facility with which France sends expeditions into the
most distant countnes where neither its honour nor its
interests are absolutely engaged, we cannot see why she
hesitates to make an expedition in Poland. An autumnal
campaign would have this advantage, that it would pro-
bahly be very short. It would bo a kmlised war, com-
mencing in Lithuania, but of which the principal ob-
ject would be in the kingdom of Poland. This
country would be very quickly delivered, and
a peace would be concluded which would not essentially
modify the map of Europe. On the other hand, a war in
the spring would take much wider proportions ; it would be
a grand war against Russia in which Austria and England
could scarcely remain neutral, and of which it is impossible
to calculate the consequences.

Mr. Madame reed the monthly report, which said that the
moue of the efforts of district committees to reduce the
charge of indigence has bees furthered by the increase of
outdoor work, and the revival of the cotton trade, for the
time being. Owing to these combined causes 47 local mm.
'antes, had been enabled to suspend their operations, and
the whole number of persons dependent on the parochial
retie and the relief fonds in Dec., 1862, ban been reduced
nearly ono-half. The number relieved is January, 1863,
was 456.786 ; but the maximum proems bed been attained

WORBHIPZIILEBT.

Henry Palster,re•yeetalyideseesi man of 33 yeuv,
was cluirged by Harry Win t, a plain clothes constable of the

The evidence of the officer was that on the previous night
he caught sight of the prismier in the street, remembered
hie antecedents, followed him, and seeing him endeavour to
open the street-door of a private house with a key, took
bun isto custody. When searched twelve keys of the ordi-
nary pettera, but filed down so as to serve the purpcee of
" skeletons" were found upon him.
Premier—Not one of the ere **bike keys ; they all
open doors in my house.
Mr. Hurlstone (chief clerk)—That is very possible. I
think you have been here before?
Prisoner—And that m very pomade too, but it wee yam
no.
t Evans, division—l know this ma• well ;
iiideVia? may say he has been under my adios on

transported for tea yen. He escaped in 1866 from his

that it is many years ago since I was here ; sad as to those
being "skeletons," why it's all nonsense.

Primmer—Say ! Why that's all stuff likewise. I did
nothing of the kind.
After some further observations to the same effect, it
was held that two of the keys in question were virtually

VERA CRUZ, Ann 16.

News received here from Puebla to the 9th inst.
gives details of the operations of the French troops,
subsequent to the investment of the city on the
23rd March.

Upon March 27 a bombardment was opened upon
Fort Jarvier and the penitentiary, which was
well fortified, and continued until the 31st, when
&breach was made, and the French troops advanced
and carried the positions by storming. From there
the storming parties pushed on, taking emcees-
sively at the point of the bayonet two other forti-
fied positions, and presently entered the city. They
fought their way through the streets, which were
barricaded, and captured the Plaza de Arnim and
the cathedral, which were strongly fortified.
These positions being carried, the Zouavea and
soldiers of the 99th regiment of the line, assisted
by the sappers, made their way through the houses
and dislodged the Mexicans, who defended them
with great bravery, fighting desperately from house
to house. The French loss is reported to have been
150 killed and 500 wounded. General Vernet de
Lanmiere is among the killed.
The only fortified positions the Mexicans now
retain are Forts Guadeloupe and Loretto.
The attacking force of the French numbered
18,000 men, while the Mexican force was calculated
at 25,000 men.
General Forey holds the bridge over the Rio
Pietro, thus preventing Comoofort, who is on the
other side with 12,000 men, from advancing to
Puebla.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-MAT 9.

&ttings at Nisi Prins at Wastminitar.— (Before Mr. Baron
Martin and Oommoa Juries.)
ATIENB AND ANOTILIN tl. BOUCIOAULT.

This was an action against the lessee of the Westminster
Theatre, lately known as AltolOy% to recover 1654 for a
fountain need in the Christmas pantomime.
Mr. Serjeant Shea and Mr. Gates were counsel for the
plaintiffs ; and Mr, O'Malley, Q.C., and Mr. 801 l for the
defendant.

—.—
It appeared that in'November, 1862, Mr. Boucicault went,
with Mr. Roberta, the manager of the scenery department,
to the shop of the plaintiffs, who are engineers and fouls.
tain makers in Fleet-street, and entered into an arrange-
ment with them for the purchase of the fountain in ques-
tion. After being used for a few nights it met with an ao-
cident, and was packed up with the view of being used far
another building which the defendant contemplated erect-
ing. Ultimately a dispute arose between the parties, and
the defendant refused to pay on the ground that the plain-
tiffs had broken their contrast.

Mr. Baron Martin asked what was the particular matter
in dispute.
Mr. O'Malley said Mr. Bonet=lt complained that the
fountain WAS of no use, and bad not been delivered within
the specified time.
Mr. Baron Martin said as that was n o defence to the pre-
sent action, and could only be made the subject of a crime
action, he would suggest that the parties should agree to
refer the whole matters in dispute to some gentleman in
whom they both had confidence.
This course wee ultimately adopted, a verdict being taken
for the plaintiffs, and power being given to the arbitrator to
name the sum to which he thought the defendant wee fairly
entitled by way of deduction from the claim.
