M. Julia Sileo3l (opposition member) uked for the ad-
*inmost of tie ease cd M. Noubel, molest whom there
wu & very serious protest by M. Bus, which was to have
been supported by M. Marie, who was unfortunately &besot
from Mose% M. Base had 35 documents which be brought
forward u proofs in favour of big protest, and they would
be la the buds of members on the morrow.

N. PUMA= (reporter)—lt is true there are 33 documents ;
the bureau has examined them all carefully, and it was of
opinion—without feeling it necessary to hear the testimony
of either Y. Base or M. Noubel—that there wu nothing in
them.

M. Tnuatm—l wish to makes simple observation. Why
did the bateau, making an exception to the general ride, re.
fuse to hear M. Bate and M. Nonbel? Allowance ought to
be made for the difference between the situation of those
who being in the chamber can offer explanation', and those
outside who cannot.

M. Base did not ask to be heard by the
bureau ; he only maid he was ready to be heard if called
upon. The bureau thought itself sufficiently informed about
the cues without calling for his evidence, that is all.
M. Tllllllll—No other election presents so grave a fact as
that which we have here—a suspension of the 00111110 of
justice. (Clamours.)
NoringL—l am ready to answer. (The Presideat
baring put the question of adjournment, which was nep•
tired),

M. TAuae resumed--I am not prepared to discuss the
whole report on this election. I merely point out one rev/
serious fact, which is treated in the report with an indul-
genoe unworthy of the dignity of this chamber. (Cries of
" No, no.") The ease is this. M. Bass's placards were
torn down by order of the mayor in the commune of
Saint Front, and that was • violation of the law. IL
Bane thereupon obtained an order from the President of the
Tribunal that the mayor should appear before him
to show canoe why he should not be compelled to post M.
Base's bills. But M. Bane could get no hi:dallier to sieve the
process upon the mayor, because the Procureer-Lnperial
had ordered all the huissiers not to act for M. BIM until
June 2, which was the day after the election. Well! you
, would have the law respected in the country, and yet you
' treat with indifference • fact like this, which is no-
thing less than the suspension of the coons of law
in France. (Noise.) The Procureur-General and the
Minister of Julioe have both censured the illegal eat
—(applause on some benches); and now the report treats
it as jast nothing at all. (More interruption.) The
bureau would sot bear M. Bare. That fact is certain.
(A Voice :It hen been explained). I will mums that
the bureau thought itself sufficiently enlightened, but I
mast observe that it is the ()lily bureau which ben refused
to bear explanations. I repeat that lem not prepared to
go into the case fully. M. Marie, who would have dame no,
is absent from indisposition ; but I call the attention of
the chamber to this serious interference with justice, and I
thus free my own reeponsibgity.
M. Puisaan—The reporters said that the judge's order
only appointed • hearing for June 5, and therefore IL
Bare was in DO way prejudiced by the service of the order
on the mayor being suspended till June 2.
M. ROW= (Minister of State) admitted that the sat of
the Procureur Imperial was not legally justifiable, and said
that he bad been reprimanded for it. But it could have
bad so effect upon the result of the election, since IL
Nonbel's majority was very large. The fact was, that
legal process frightened country people very much, End
the Procureur Imperial thought, bond fide, that U. Blies
writ might operate as an intimidation while the :Aeolian
was going on.
M. Tuixas—l don't cure about the influence of the act up=
the election. That is not the question. I have obtained an ad-
minion from thegovernment of all th at I wanted, Darnell, that
the course of justice was suspended by the set of the Pre-
cursor du Res. (Loud laughter.) I beg pardon, I should
have said the Procureur Imperial—l shall soon get into
right habits. (More laughter.) You speak of Intimidation.
But if you say the oppo.ition exercises intimidation in the
elections, France will not believe you. (Interruption.)
After some further excuses for the Procureur Imperial's
conduct by M. Rouher, M. Noubal was declared duly
elected.

THE PERSECUTION OF LADIES IN WARSAW. -An
incident which marred la 'Warsaw on the lad instant is a
fair example of the treatment to which the ladies of this
city are subjected by the Russian authorities. A house.
owner was going home in the evening with his wife. He
was provided with a lantern, 'according to the regulation,
but his wife was not, as women accompanied by men are not
required to carry lanterns. As they were passing through
a street where the pavement is so narrow that two persons
nay can walk on it abreast, they met a friend who walked
on with them, and as be had business with the husband, the
wife walked on before. Seeing this a policeman in the
street arrested the lady because she bad no lantern. All
explanation was neatens, and the lady and her husband were
immediately dragged to thornily& police station, where the
commissary, Rydzywaki, ordered fire lashes to be given to
her. On hearing this sentence the lady remonstrated, re.
pri seating that she was enciente, and that if the order was
executed it might prcduce serious consequences. The only
answer Rydzywaki deigned to give was to increase the
number of lashes to ten. Fresh remonstrances from the
husband added five lashes to the punishment of the nefor.
tuna= lady, and the sentence was carried out to the letter.
RUSSIAN PREPARATIONS FOR WAH.-A correspon-

patriotic feelings of the pso*, and the public excitement
in this part of the Rtiesien dominions is certainly just now
at war pitch. Several agents of the governments of various
nationalities have recently remand to the Crimea to pay
their reapeds to the Csar ; prominent amongst them, I may
mention, the Bulgarian Palaossoff, and the Wellman=
Prince Mourousi. It may not be without sigeificance to
remark that, at this juncture, Colonel Count Schouviumff
should have been sent on a secret mission to Seri s."

THE CLYDE TESTIMONIAL.

A public meeting waa held yesterday, on the in-
vitation of the Clyde Testimonial Fund Committee, to de-
cide upon the most appropriate mode of raising a testi-
monial to the honour of the late Field-Marshal Lord
Clyde, and to take steps for providing the funds for the
WM. His Royal Highness the Duke of CAKBRIDGE was in
the chair, and upon the platform were the Earl De Grey and
Ripon (Secretary fur War), the Duke of Wellington, the
Duke of Argyll, the Earl of atalmerbary, the Earl of Ellen-
borough, Sir Charles Wood (Secretary for India), the Earl
of Lucian, the Earl of Cardigan, Lord Stanley, Sir R. Mut.-
adman. Sir R. Hamilton, Sir R. Airey, and numerous other
gentlemen officially or otherwise connected with the mili-
tary and civil services of the country. The body of the
room was crowded.

The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, who was loudly applauded
when be entered the mom, having taken the chair, pro-
ceeded to review the career of the late Field Marshal. In
1854 (laid Ida royal highness) the war with &Nei& broke
out, sod one of the first officers selected to go out in
commend of a regiment was Sir Colin Campbell. It is not
mammy for me to dwell upon the great talents he dis-
played while engaged on that important service. Whether
we look at the noble bearing of his splendid brigade at the
storming of the heights of Alma, or the valuable service he
rendered when he, with • handful of men, descended upon
the coast of Balakiava sod so kept open the communication
of the army with the fleet, or the merits of that great sol.
dier throughout the whole of the Crimean campaign, we
Bed that in every case he not only performed his duty with
that valour and devotedness with which I know every
British soldier always will perform it—(hear, bear)—but that
he displayed on all occasions the talents and acquirements */
• great commander, and that whenever he was placed at the
had of affairs, these affairs were satisfactorily and nobly
conducted. (Hear, hear.) It was not long after this when
Lord Clyde again had the opportunity of proving that what
was expected of him would be sure to be accomplished, for
hardly had the great Crimean war been brought to a close
ere the troubles In India broke oat. It was greatly feared
there would be • tedious and difficult process neceseuy in
restoring ceder and tranquillity in that noble portion of or-
empire. The government had to select • general officer to
whom to entrust the command of the forces dest'oed to un-
dertake the duty of putting down the mutiny, and I am
heppy to say that I, being then in the post which I still have
the honour to fill, associated with my right hm friends
then =Vag for her Majesty at the War Doped-
men% rtsumeriended to her Majesty that the late Lord Clyde
should be sent oat to take the chief command. For myself
I sewer doubted fora moment that he would unhesitatingly
accept the important and delicate appointment, but I did
Dot expect him to say sa he did say when the propmal was
first made to him, that he would be ready to start for hula
within .14 hours. (Loud cheers.) Within 24 hours after
the appointment wan offered to him he left this country for
India, and then completed the glorious and important ser-
vice entrusted to him in the manner which reflected hooour
upon himself and advantage to his country. It is not too
much to say, that, thinks to the intelligence and
determination he evince doing the whole of
his command, and the gallantry he was enabled to
inspire in the troops acting under his orders,
our great Indian empire has not only been restored to us in
all it. integrity, but I trust and believe with a
greater degree of &MONS and attachment to this cons.
try than existed at any time before the mutiny broke out.
(Cheers.) I my then that we are all deeply indebted to the
late gallant commander, but I should do an injustice I know
to him if I did not add, what he WAS always the first to
acknowledge, that he could not have accomplished what he
did had it not been for the cordial and zealous einistaoce he
received from every pernon with whom he was impeded
in India, whether the civil authorities of that dependency
or the military assistants who served immediately under his
direetioes. (Heer, bear.) Lord Clyde was always oes of
those modest men who ascribe the credit of all their successes
to those by whose aid those success, have been achieved
and therefore he wee constantly ready to admit that, but
for the admirable manner in which he baboon supported,
he could not have dope what he did. I am, however,
dispo.ed to think that in this he somewhat underrated his
powers, for 1 believe it was greatly and chiefly to him that
those results are to be catributra, although no doubt be
was associated with most able and gallant supporters. But
even in this is shown his great capacity for command,
seeing that he had the talent to choose those who were
his mat competeut and useful cm ijutors. (Cheers.) And
this is another proof that that mind that was equal to deal
with and master details was equally able to grasp and mature
those greater questions and remairenients with which in
his later days he was so prominently connected. My late
salient friend having departed from this world it is •
glorious thing for this great empire to reflect that there is
not one, even the lowest amongst h;% coentrynies,
that may not a9ire to the sooomplishutent of
equally great resales, and to the attainment of
an r pally high position. In • country that is, io many
respects, thought to be old fashioned, it is useful to reflect
that such opportenities for distinction may fall to any one
individual who I. properly qualified in this great state.
And It is in this manner that the state has always
a right to expect to be well served. There is
another lemon to be learnt from the example
of my late gallant friend, and it is an important
one ; it is that officers in our profession should not imagine
the mere war service is their metier, and that that alone is
what they have to look to. It is true we shall cm all occa-
sions pei Toren our duties with honour to ourselves and credit
to the countty, but there are matters of detail we should
deal with. Although it is sot the wish, nor would it teed
t 3 the honour of the country, that we should be always en-
gaged in constant hutilitits, still it is necessary to keep the
army in such • state of proficiency and order
that It shall be fit to take the field when called upon. It is
officers like the late Lord Clyde that make efficiency in this
respect, fork is to officers who attend to their duties as well
in peace as io war that the army is indebted for its efficiency
and power when called upon to act. I am happy to say
that such is the ebanteter of the officers of oar army gene-
rally, and I trust that the example of Lord Clyde will be
the means of adding to their number, and that they see
that the best way of acquiring efficiency and of doing ser-
vice to the state is by establishing discipline, and securing
order and regularity amongst their men in time of peace.
That was the course adopted by the late Lord Clyde, and
that was the way in which he was able at the end of his
career to obtain such high honours for himself and to confer
such valuable service upon his country, sod thus it was that
at the close of his life his sovereign was the first to express
her strong desire and earnest hope that we should do honour
to Its memory in the way now proposed. (Hear.) I feel that
I have trespassed longer upon your attention than I should
have done—(No. no)—but it was impossible for me to be
fleet on • subject on which publicly and privately I felt so
deep an lowest, and with which from my position Tam so im-
mediatelyconeected. And though I know that the resolutions
about to be submitted will be put before you far more
f rrcibly by those who are to follow me than they could be by
any words of mine, I thought it only right that I should do
hooour thus publicly to the name of that illustrious soldier
and friend whose loss, in ommuon with you all, I so deeply
deplore. (Cheers.)
The Earl DE GRET and RIPON moved the first resolution,
which affirm( d that in order to commemorate the services
of Lord Clyde, the meeting was of opinion that a 'tithe to
his memory should be erected In this metropolis.
The Duke of WELLINGTON awooded the resolution, which
was put and carried with acclamation.
The Duke of A RGTLL moved the second resolution—" That
• publle subscription he °pealed, to which all classes of her
Majesty's subjects be invited to contribute, and that • com-
mittee of noblemen and gentlemen be formed for the put,
pews of PSTI yin out the foregoing objects"
The Earl of LeCAN seconded the resolution—which, after
• few words from Sir JOHN MAXWELL (suggesting that the
monument should be erected by parliamentary grant) —was
carried Inanimately.
Sir CHARLES WOOD moved the following resolution :
" That, with reference to the more recent service. of Lord
Clyde in India, the communities of the three presidencies be
invited tOOO-operate."
The Earl of Eus-aftortouc le, who was received with
several rounds of anplause, seconded the resolution
General Sir WM. Gomm, as an old comrade in slims, bore
testimony to the merits of Lord Clyde.
The resolution was then put and carried.

THE Manor OF GIBRALTAR. —Tbe Rev. Dr.
Trower, the recently appointed Bishop of Gibraltar, arrived
at Malta on the 7th fastest by the mail steamer Vectis,
from Marseilles. He was aooompanied by Ma. Trower
and three daughters.
METROPOLITAN BOARD OF Wouns.—Tbe usual
meeting of the Me.ropolitan Board of Works was held yes-
terday at the office in Spring•gardens ; Mr. J. THWAVIES
in the chair. Mr. The, M.P., snored " that steps be taken
to enable the board to purchase by parliamentary authority
certain pieceeof land io couoection with the public roads in
Lambeth near to and abutting on the Westminster-road and
Warminster-bridge, Rod that the solicitor end officers be
instructed ti take the necessary Mops to obtain such
powers." In support of this motion he said that when the
hoard was last year before parliament on the bill for the
formation of the Southern Eintankinent, it was found that
two pieces marked black on theplan had not been scheduled,
and it was hoped that the board would this year set that
right. There was a proposition on the part of St. Thomas's
Hospital to take lead near this place, but hie application
bad no geferenee to it, bat simply to improve the pro-
perty that was already in possession of the hoard. Mr. Le
Breton *wooded the motion, which after a discussion, in
which Mr. Co' Ihnozi. Mr. Goalies, M.P., Mr. R. L. Taylor,
Mr. Dormer, Mr. Sandhurst, Mr. Freeman, and others took
part, was altered to merely giving notices and depositing
plans, sad agreed to with but one dissentient. The other
business transacted was not of sufficient interest to call for
a report.
