LONDON. SATURDAY. MARCH 3.

A perusal of the summary of the evidence before the
royal isommissiee, furnished by its Jamaica correspondent,
amply establishes, in the opinion at the Times, the formid-
able spread of the disturbance, but does not prove as yet
that it waa the result of a conspiracy extending beyond the
wish of St. Thomas, or that it was concerted by Gordon.
The latter cam, however, has been postponed by the corn-
minimises to a later stage of the inquiry, though we have
Mr. Eyre's explanations before us. Allowing for flagrant
instances of mediating evidence the T►wtea cannot affect to
doubt th►t acts of detestable inhumanity have been com-
mitted by persons wearing the English uniform, acts for
which we have not a word of excuse or palliation to offer.
If it be really true that men were shot down for merely
running away, and that' others, whether justly or unjustly
convicted, were, after being flogged, made to ran the
gauntlet between Mee of 'soldiers and sailors, who jeered
at them and threw stones at them unchecked by their
officers— it these unmanly and dastardly abuses of power
were really encouraged or sanctioned by those to whom the
administration of martial law was intrusted—then let no
" interests of the service* be allowed for a moment to

SOUTHAMPTON, MARCH 3.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Mongolia, with the heavy portion of the above
mails, has arrived here. She brings 66 passengers,
precious stones, value 3,000 rupees; jewellery,
value, 2,4001. ; and 3,750 packages of cargo, of
which 1,588 bales are raw silk, value 120,0001.

Across the Bay of Biscay she experienced north
easterly gales and a heavy sea, and up Channel
heavy head seas and easterly gale.
Twelve English ships of war were at Malta.

The British ship Ellora, of South Shields, had

from Newcastle, had lost her bulwarks, shifted

screen the offenders.
Observing that the evidence is no longer open to the ob-
jection that it opines from anooymoas smug and without
the unction of an oath, the Daily News remarks that the
result of the inquiry up to this time undoubtedly is to con-
firm the first impressions of terrible and unwarrantable
cruelty, practised, not in suppressing revolt, but in striking
awe after it had been suppressed. The evidence is the
move emphatic that it has been taken solely
by the commissioners, who, it is to be regretted,
have adopted the court-martial system of inter-
rogation as far as the counsel are concerned.
With regard to Gordon, the evidence remains as inconclusive
as the report of his trial presented it. After the official
testimony which hes been given, we can no longer comfort
ourselves with the belief that it was impossible that men
could be flogged first and hung afterwards, or that women
could have been flagged by Englishmen. But if it be pos.
eilfirh the shame is mode more burning by the claim that
seems pet in for tenderness and delicacy because women
WWI not flogged with wire. To these inhuman monsters it
would appear that only the physical pain was a thing to be
wonted, and that the atrocity of stripping women naked
that they might be flogged by men seemed nothing, if only

Tax resent debate on the service of the Speaker's
warrants in the Devonport Dockyard naturally
prompts inquiry into the practice that regulates
this proceeding ; into the necessity of a personal
service. The text-book, " Rogers on Elections," is
silent on this point, and on the mode in whieh the
Commons summon auch witnesses to Westminster.
The power to issue these warrants is not conferred
on the Speaker by statute ; it is based on " the
platform of antique precedent ;" on the right of
the Commons to compel their fellow subjects to
give evidence before them. As far back as the year
1626, the journals contain entries similar to those
that now follow the presentation of an election
petition—the order that warrants shall issue
" under Mr. Speaker's hand for witnesses
to be sent for. " Though the service of election
warrants is the only transaction of this nature that
the Commons entrust to the law agents, and not to
their own officials, it is subject, it may be pre-
sumed, to the rules to which that department
adheres. To. " Serjeant's" messengers, in the
summons of witnesses, endeavour to give the war-
rant to him to whom it relates ; but if this be not
easily practicable, they are content to make such
service of the notice as may reasonably be consi-
dered effectual. Thus, as the personal service of
the orders of parliament, according to its own prac-
tice, is not an imperative necessity, it would seem
that the congregation of workmen into a retired
spot in the yard was ill-judged both in form and
principle.
A general election frequently prompts novel varia-
tions on that old, old theme, the usage of parlia-
ment. The Sheriff of Nottingham endeavours by
petition to the Commons to create a new precedent.
Petitioners against the return for that borough
complain that he, as returning officer, improperly
tampered with the record of the votes. Indignant
at this charge, the sheriff begs the House to erase
it at once and altogether. The bailiff of Westmin-
ster, when Mr. Fox accused him of a "palpable
breach of duty," prayed to be heard at the bar in
answer. Mr. Place, the Nottingham official, takes
a different tone : he begs parliament to take his
word that the paragraph deserves obliteration for
its gross untruth.
It was not thus that borough authorities in old
times approached the Commons. If innocent, the
sheriff would have been too happy to escape under
the order that he " was to be no further ques-
tioned ;" if guilty, the custody of the serjeant, sub-
mission before the house upon his knees, and a re-
prated expression of contrition at the quarter see-

The Pod cannot avoid feeling that in Gordon's case Mr.
Eyre drew his conclusions from what men more carefully
trained to sift evidence would have deemed questionable
premises. The politicil expediency of Governor Eyre's
policy has not, however, up to the present, been impeached.
The Telegraph dwells exclusively upon the acts com-
mitted by the Degrees at the first outbreak in Morelli Bay,
with a view of showing that she theory of the negrophilists
was an impudent fel-idoation of facts. Englishmen and
Englishwomen it thinks will have very little sympathy to
spare for Mr. Paul Bogle and his accomplices. There is
reason to believe, it must be confessed, some of the subor-
dinate authorities exceeded the bounds of their duty ; but
we elm fled that whenever any such 0111511 were brought
directly under the notice of Governor Eyre, be took im-
mediate steps to punish the delinquents. As for the go-
vernor himself, his vindication on all points hitherto but
one is satisfactory, the Telegraph waiting with anxiety for
farther information of a point in his conduct still open to
duouw on—namely, his share in the execution of Gordon.
The Star believe. that the monstrous and all but lucre-
( dible catalogue of atrocities narrated by its special cor-
-1 respondent does not reveal one hundredth part of the hor-
rors which the agents of the Jamaica committee are pre-
pared to unfold. Provost-Marshal Railway and General
Jackson, well named " the Indian tiger,* for the moment
Wipe.. even Eyre and the higher functionaries ; but for all
1 who are guilty there can scarcely fail to come a day of re-
tributiow.
The Advertiser feels that it would not be right to assume
what the ultimate result will be, but does no injustice to
Governor Eyre in siyiog that so far from his examination
improving his position, it makes it much worse than even
his greatest opponents in this country supposed it way.

THE CATTLE PLUMB REST/sad—An analysis of
the weekly official cattle plague returns showy that of the
counties in Engl►nd, Wales, and %Wand, 22 counties
remain free from the disease. In 35 counties DO asses have
been reported as occurring during the week. 18 °onetime
show au Isere tee of 669 OWL 31 counties and the metro.
politer' police district show a decrease of 3,503 cases.
Showing a total decrease during the week ending February
24, 1866, in F.nglaod, Wales, and %Aleut!, of 2,834 cases,

is 1 inspector ; to Staffordshire 5 ; to Cheshire 5 ; to York,
5 not reported, and 1 received but unintelligible; to Cain-
' berland 2; to Flint 1 ; and to Scotland 16. These inspac-
I tors returned 2,847 c tees last week, and the apparent de-
erelllo of the divas* is probably more due to the abeam* of
.these reports than to any reel diminution of attack. To
Cambridgeshire one inspector has returned 5 fresh outbreaks
and 151 cases, but this information was received too late to
be included is this return.— (Saved) Aismensout WiLmems,
