FLOGGING IN THE ARMY.

In committee on Mutiny Bill, Sir John Peking-
ton will move at clause 10, at end, to add " but no sen-
tence of corporal punishment awarded by a regimental
court-martial shall, except in the case of mutiny or aggra-
vated insubordination next hereinafter mentioned, be put
in execution in time of peace without the leave in writing
of the general or other officer commanding the district or
station in which the court may be held." Clause 11, after
" mutiny and," leave out " gross," and insert "aggra-
vated."

Mr. Otway, in clause proposed to be substituted for
clause 22, line 2, will move to leave out the words after
the word " soldier," until the word " shall," in the same
line ; and after " flogging," in line .1, leave out the re-
mainder of the clause.
Sir Charles Russell intends to move to continue the
crime of stealing from a comrade under the head of dis-
graceful conduct.
In committee on Marine Mutiny Bill, Colonel North
will move that clause 2L of the dray Mutiny Act be
added thereto.

Major Jervis will ask the Secretary of State for War,
to-morrow, whether, having in view the proposed altera-
tion of clause 24 of the Mutiny Act, it is proposed to give
the military authorities power to discharge men guilty of
felony, or of disgraceful conduct which his rendered them
liable to flogging, on the completion of their sentence.

THE SECOND READING OF THE REFORM DILL.

The speech with which the Chancellor of the
Exchequer brought the debate on the second reading of
the Reform Bill to a close, can admit, says the Times, of
only one interpretation, namely that the objectionable pro-
visions will be abandoned, the lodger franchise supplied,
the hindrances miming from the adoption of the Small Tene-
ments Act be reconsidered and abated, and a further
reduction of the county franchise submitted to tliscus-
sion. A tone of conciliation was everywhere manifested in
the debate, though the call to the ministry to amend their
measure was startling in its intensity. We may once more
anticipate with some security a realisation of the hopes
entertained at the beginning of the session.
Thinking more of their own faults than those of the bill,
the house, the Daily News says, read a second time a mea-
sure of which the large majority heartily disapprove, and
the arguments against which were left untouched
by Mr. Disraeli's brilliant rhetoric. Under promise
of amendment the bill yet survives. The force
of the arguments of his opponents were fully admitted
at the last moment by the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, who, by implication, threw over in his concluding
speech the checks and limitations, the dual vote, the re-
solutions upon compound householders, the exclusion of
lodgers, and Mr. Gathorne Hardy. The wisdom of the
course which Mr. Gladstone has followed is now made
manifest. On Monday not a word of concession could be
extracted from ministers ; last night the Chancellor of the
Exchequer was most compliant. Mr. Disraeli complained
of Mr. Gladstone's peremptoriness ou the previous even-
ing, but it was absolutely necessary, in the interests of the
country, that the demands of the liberal party should be
clearly and positively stated ; and we gather from Mr.
Diarseres language that it is equally necessary to the con-
servative party that they shall be conceded. Apparently,
then, there is, for the first time, a fair chance that a satis-
factory bill may be passed this session.
The only thing on which no doubt exists, remarks the
Pat, is that the government do not accept any respon-
sibility in presenting their Reform Bill to parliament.
The late how at which Mr. Disraeli's speech, the most
important of all under the circumstances, was delivered,
has rendered it impossible for the penny papers to coin.
ment upon it, and their criticisms upon the debate have
therefore little importance or significance. The Telegraph
is the only paper which alludes to it, and in doing so it
falls into an error. " Suppose," it says, " that Mr. Dis-
raeli, contrary to what he himself said last night, allows
his bill to be as clay in the potter's hands, and consents
to have it squeezed into a decent shape, still," Sc. It
will be seen by a reference to the debate that the suppo-
sition is not contrary to, but in accordance with, the
course Mr. Disraeli pursued.

THE LOSM OP THE. FALCON.

The Glawirow papers of Saturday publish a portion of a
letter received on Friday by a gentleman in Greenock,
from Coleraine, and stating that sixteen persons had
been saved from the Falcon. The following is an
extract from the letter :—" The Belfast boat was
late yesterday morning for the mail train here, con-
sequently I did not get your letter till night—
all right. Happening to be at the railway station
this morning, I saw a poor girl who was saved from the
Falcon. She belongs to Glasgow. She told me she and
her cousin, who is drowned, were coming on a visit to
Portrush, and that the Falcon came into collision with
• foreign vessel before she went ashore at Fair Head,
where she went down. The girl thinks there were 30 pas-
sengers on board, and that about 16 have been saved, so far
as her scattered senses could tell. A sailor saved her by
tying her, along with himself, to some floating timber.
They were nearly frozen to death before they got to a
house. This was the most I could get from her during the
few minutes she stood on the platform waiting for the Port.
rush train, where she has gone to her friends. lgvery one
is very kind to her. There was a young man on boan I
belonging to this place, who is supposed to be drowned ;
but the facts will soon be published." In reference to the
above, a Greenock correspondent says :—" From Captain
Kerr, of the Islay, it turns out that the story of the girl is
a fabrication. On his calling at Portrusb the girl referred
to came on board the Islay, and wanted a free passage
across to the Clyde, giving the same story. She was ques-
tioned on the matter, and her whole story turned out an
invention to turn • penny and get charity. She was being
put ashore, but would not go, and paid down her fare to
the mate, and came over in the steamer. The parties in
charge of the steamer were only sorry no one of her dupes
had made a charge against her, that she might receive the
punishment she decreed."

FATAL RAILWAY COLLISION.—We learn by tele-
graph from our Aberdeen correspondent, that • fatal col.
on occurred near bluebells Station, on the Scottish
North-Eastern Railway, about six o'clock on Sunday
morning, between two pilot engines. One engine coming
from Aberdeen, with a snow plough attached to it, met
another which was going north, and in the darkness they
ran into each other. Thomas Cormie, fireman, and
Alexander Anderson, foreman platelayer, were killed
instantaneously. John Guild, pilot, however, saved him-
self by leaping off, when he perceived his danger, from the
engine. John Methven, the driver, bad both legs and one
of his arms broken, and his injuries were such that be
died soon afterwards. The force of the collision was
such that it knocked the tender to pieces, and it was one
of the splinter' which struck Anderson and killed him.
Cormie, a native of Markinch, leaves • wife and family,
who live in Aberdeen. Robert Petrie, the fireman, was
also much injured. Dr. Keith left Aberdeen for the scene
of the accident in a dogcart. All the injured men were
taken to Stonehaven, and were there attended to by Dr.
Keith.—Scoiestan.

Miss Fray came into court to-day, and renewed her ap-
plication—one which she has frequently made before, and
has been as often told that by the rules of practice she was
out of time—for a rule calling upon the defendant to bring
in the roll in this case, or supply her with a oopy of the

ment relative to an application we cannot entertain.

Miss Fray—Am I nroi to be heard ?
The Lord Chief Justice—No, certainly not in en appli-
cation we cannot entertain. We cannot in your case set
aside rules which apply to all suitors in this court.
Miss Fray—But I am advised by eminent counsel that it
is not so.

The Lord Chief Justice—l hear that constantly stated
by you, but we are not influenced by statements of that
kind. You don't tell us who be is.

Miss Fray—No ; it will not exactly do to do thet. As
you will not bear me now, I must come another time.
The Lord Chief Ju►tice—lie so good as to sit down or
withdraw, and not further waste the time of the court.

Miss Fisy—l shall persevere in it. M►y I file myaffi-

The Lord Chief Justice—There is no objection I; your
doing it, provided you pay the fees.
Miss Fray—l am quite ready and prepared to do that.
Although I have received an order allowing me to sue in

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

DEATH OF MM. INORES AND VICTOR
COUSIN.

(IVAN OUR OWN 001111SPONDENT.)
PARIS, MONDAT Rvisnro.

Necrology is the leading topic of this day.
France has just lost two eminent citizens, M.
Ingres and M. Cousin.
M. Ingres, the painter, died last night at the
age of 85, after an illness of only a few hours. He
was born at Montauban on September 15, 1781.
He aas a pupil of David, and whatever difference
of .pinion there maybe as to the rank that he should
take as an aspirant to the highest class of art, there
can be no doubt whatever that he surpassed his
master. He ultimately took Raphael for his
model, and laid himself out for high ideal-
isation and correctness often critistd as
cold. Every one of his exhibited pictures
raised a fierce controversy among art critics. I
remember in the summer of 1865, when M.
Moreau's " Edipus and the Sphinx " was, despite
curious °centricity of manner, justly (as I thought)
voted the best picture of the year, I had the
privilege of passing half an hour with M. Ingres in
his studio, where I saw the same subject treated in
a manner, which if art questions were not always
open to dispute, I should have characterised as
indisputably superior. At that time M. Ingres,
then aged 83, was wonderfully hale and hearty, he
was strong upon his legs, his sight was good,
and he did the honours of his studio
with grace, ease, and enthusiasm. In 1855
M. Ingres, like his junior, Courbet, did
not choose to have his works confounded in the
general male of the Universal Exhibition. Courbet
took a hall for himself and charged his one franc at
the door for those (and there were many who chose
to pay it) to see his pictures. But Ingres had in-
fluence enough to obtain a salon in the Champs
Elysies Crystal Palace for the exclusive exhibition
of his works. Louis Philippe made Ingres
a Commander of the Legion of Honour in 1845 ;
and in 1855 Napoleon 111. promoted hind
to the rank of Grand Officer. He was
only last year made a member of the Senate, by
way of an extraordinary homage to the fine arts.
French art loses in M. Ingres one of the greatest
heads of schools of the century.
The immediate cause of M. Ingres' death is
stated to be an act of imprudent presumption upon!
his prolonged health and strength. On Tuesday
last he gave a musical soirée, at which several
pieces of Beethoven, Hadyn, and Mozart were I
played. After sitting up late, he found, shortly
after going to bed, that the fireplace in his bed-1

THE LOSS OF THE RICTLIA.

A Greenock correspondent writes:—" The steamer
Islay, which arrived on Saturday morning at Greenock,
brought the first clue to the fate of the screw steamer
Sicilia, of Glasgow, which has not been beard of since
Friday week, when she left Milford in Wales for Glas-
gow ; and facts go to show that the Sicilia has foun-
dered in the same gale, and about the same spot, as
the ill-fated steamer Falcon, and that all hands have
perished. Captain Kerr reports that, on Wednesday
last, some fishermen on the south-west coast of Islay
observed a small boat drifting near the shore at the Rune
of Islay. They sailed out to her, and found her
stove in and full of water, with the dead body of a
seaman lying in the bottom. There was nothing on
the body to identify it, not even a jacket—a red shirt and
pair of blue cloth trouser' being all the dress that covered
it. The boat was painted white, with • blue stripe
round the outside, but had no name on it. On a careful
examination of the oars, however, it was found they were
branded with the word Sicilia.' On the same day some
other people picked up the figurehead of • vessel, repre-
senting a female figure, about twenty miles further
round on the south-east coast ; and two or three bags of
flour were also picked up, and the shore for several
miles was strewn with apples. In every particular, these
details correspond with the missing steamer and her
cargo. The Sicilia was on her passage from
Bordeaux to Clyde with a cargo of Hour, fruit,
dyestuffs, &c. It is believed that after leaving
Milford on Friday, where she took in coal, she
had steered direct for the Clyde, and, encountering the
severe gale of Sunday morning, had run for the lee of the
Cantyre mainland, where she mot the fate that befel the
Falcon, either on the west coast of Cantyte,or on the south
end of Islay, and that not a soul remains to tell of the
sail disaster."

EQUITY COURTS.—JAN. 14.
(Before the Lords Justices.)
RE Boeurrie BANK.

This was an appeal from a decision of the Master of the
Rolls. Mr. Tho,nton moved in the court below for an
order directing the official liquidators in the above matter
to vacate, or cause to be vacated, the memorandum or mi-
nute of lis pende,s registered by them in respect of the
petition and winding-up order in the above matter as
against him. The Master of the Rolls refused the motion
with costs. From that decision Mr. Thornton now ap-
pealed.
Mr. Baggallay, Q.C., Mr. Roxburgh, Q.C., and Mr.
Fischer appeared for the appellant ; Mr. Selwyn, Q.C.
Mr. Cotton, Q.C., and Mr. Kekewich for the official
liquidators.
The Lords Justices, in giving judgment, observed, that
if the course taken in this matter, and which they under-
stood had been adopted in other CM*, namely, to register
as a li, pendens against each shareholder of a company a
petition to wind it up were to prevail, inconveniences of
the most oppre.aive description would arise—inconve-
niences which it is impossible to suppose the legislature
ever intended. Their lordships in the cone a of their
judgments commented upon the different sections of the
acts of parliament that bore upon the question, and came
to the conclusion that the registration of the petition as a
lin pendens against Mr. Thornton could not be main-
tained.

RITUALISM.

Last evening an ordinary meeting of the English
Church Union was held at its offices; the Honour.
able COWS LINP',AY preaiiling. A report of the
council on llU!uliMn, was presented, and this and
the expected presence of Dr. Pitney attracted a
large attendance ; Dr. Pusey, however, rent a letter of
apolozy, in whi. h he said it was a great disappointment
to him not to abbe to attend.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-JAN. 14.

Sittings in Banco. —(Before the Lord Chief Baron and
Barons Martin and Pigott)
NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE MINING COMPANY T. MACINTYRE.
This was an action to recover calls upon shares in a
mining company in Staffordshire, in which the defendant
pleaded that be had been induced to accept the shares
by fraudulent representations. At the trial before the
Lord Chief Baron at Guildhall the fury found • verdict
for the defendant.

Mr. Serjeant Hayes, on behalf of the plaintiffs, now
moved for a new trial on the ground that the verdict was
against the evidence. The principal rnisrepre•entation
relied upon by the defendant was a statement in an
extract from the Daily Neter and some other paper. which
was transmitted with the prospectus, to the effect that a
hrge number of shares had been taken by persons in the
neighbourhood of the mine.
The Lord Chief Baron—No one could fairly impute
fraud to the directors, but the difficulty was that they
had allowed their accredited agent to circulate that state-
ment with the prospectus.
Mr. Serjeant Hayes—But it did not form part of the
prospectus.
Mr. Baron Pigott—lt must, however, be assumed that
the directors adopted the statement.
Mr. Huddleston said the defendant actually lived on
the property, and admitted its great mineral value.
The Lord Chief Baron—l own I was rather surprised at
the verdict, beesuse the high character of the directors
was sustained, and there might be great doubt whether
the representation complained of had influenced the
defendant in taking the shares. I thought the verdict
might fairly have been for the plaintiffs. Under all the
circumstances you may have a rule, but it will be at your
own peril.

THE "TIMES" Axn yn. BEIEHT.

The issue in a pamphlet form of Mr. Bright's
late speeches leads the Titnci to offer some comment.
upon the political character and philosophy of the hon.
member for Birmingham. While his fiercest opponents,
it says, must always admit that in his own style of robust
and manly eloquence he is without an equal, dispas-
sionate observers will see in him crude :old super-
ficial conceptions, partiality of vision, and narrow-
ness of thought. Being inherently a demagogue
his influence is distrusted. He is habitually if
not wilfully unjust, but still he does service in urging us
forward. His main fault is in preserving uncorrected the
impression of his early manhood. There is nothing in
these speeches, there is nothing in his political career, to
induce us to 'appose that he has modified one opinion or
advanced one hair's breadth since the time of the Reform
Bill. The ideal of representative institutions to which
his speeches point consists of household, if not uni-
versal suffrage, equal electoral districti, and vote
by ballot; and it would seem that he has never
for • moment doubted the justice or wisdom of a
creed which is founded entirely on the principles of Lord
Grey's bill. In the years which have passed since 1A:32
men have discovered the radical defects of a scheme which,
if realised, would destroy representation altogether, but
Mr. Bright has been unaffected by this growth in
knowledge. As be goes from town to town addressing
meeting after meeting, he reproduces arguments which
are of no force, except in supporting ideals of legisla-
tion which may be pronounced obsolete. The arguments
are embellished from time to tine by quotations from the
rhetorical poets; but they are no otherwise varied. This
absetce of growth springs, possibly, from the impatience ,
which is the root of Mr. Bright's other faults ; but it is
in itself • main cause why the men of the younger 1
generation are repelled from his side, aid his apparently
studied ignorance of all that has been written apolien
for the past thirty years on Reform justifies their refusal
to accept him as • reformer and • guide.

LIFEBOAT SERVICES.

Now that the late gales, which have caused
such hsvoo among our shipping, have nearly expended
themselves, it may be desirable to recapitulate the ser-
vices rendered to shipwrecked crews by the lifeboats of the
National Lifeboat Institution. The Llanelly lifeboat
saved 8 men from the brigantine Seraphin, of Dunkirk,
and 6 men from the lugger Espoir, of Nantes. The
Tynemouth lifeboat rescued 6 men from the brig Emanuel
Boucher. The Wicklow lifeboat brought ashore 3 men
from the smack Shamrock, of Arklow. The Tramore
lifeboat rescued 5 men from the schooner Annuncion, of
Nantes. The Cardigan lifeboat saved 3 men from the
sloop Oliver Lloyd, of Cardigan ; 3 men from the smack
Turtle Dove, of Aberystwith and 4 men from the smack ;
Coronation, of Bideford. The Penzance lifeboat saved 6
men from the schooner Salome, of Dartmouth ; 5 men
from the schooner Selina Ann, of Swansea ; 6 men from
the schooner Heiress ; and 13 men from the ship' John
Gray, of Glasgow. The Blakeney lifeboat brought into
harbour the sloop Emma, of Portsmouth, and her crew
of 3 men. The Ramsgate lifeboat rescued 8 men from
the schooner tlizpah, of Brixham ; and 10 men from
the Danish barque Aurora Borealis. The Palling
lifeboat saved 5 men from the brig Chase, of Shields.
the Plymouth lifeboat saved 1 man from the schooner
Tearer; the Poole lifeboat took 1 man off the Prussian
brig Antores ; the Moelpe lifeboat brought ashore 4 men
from the schooner Mary Tatham, of Chester ; the Forth-
dinllsen lifeboat saved from destruction the smack Cathe-
rine, of Barmouth, and her crew of 4 men ; the Swansea
lifeboat assisted to save the schooner Jeanne d'Arc, of
Nantes, and her crew of 5 men; and the Carmarthen Bay
lifeboat saved 2 men from the schooner Gerd, of Hull ;
making a total of 11l lives saved by the lifeboats during
the late gales. It may be mentioned that in nearly every
case the poor creatures would have perished in the absence
of the gallant services of the lifeboats. The lifeboat' of
the institution at Looe, Exmouth, Kingstown, Poole,
Dungeness, Wahner, Teignmouth, North Deal, Kingssate,
and St. Andrews, also put off during the same terrible
weather, but, owing to the fury of the storm, in many
cases it was impossible to contend with it. The intense
cold and the tempest rendered it impossible in some cases
to propel the lifeboats against the mountainous waves.
However, it is most satisfactory to know that in no single
instance has there been a lack of gallant and willing men,
who, with their lives in their hands, are ever ready to put
off in the lifeboats of the institution.

et one of them, to take up a silk handkerchief, wit,
which he ran away, accompanied by his two accomplo,.
who etfeeted their escape. The prisoner, however, vs.;
pursued by the prosecutrui, who, observing that she was
close on his heels, threw down the handkerchief, and
actually ran unto the arms of police-constable Willime

prisoner conveyed to the policeatation. The prmuncr ws,
remanded in order to diswver his father, that the tel
might be sent to a reformatory.
The father was now in attendance, and stated that be
lived in Italdwires-gardens, Gray's-inn.hine, and was
itinerant vendor of plaster of l'aras images, in shidt
business the prisoner had sometimes mutated him. He
(the father) met with an accident by which be fell lame,

It was proved by Pie, the officer in the cave, that the
prisoner had before been convicted in this court and in.
teamed to three days' imprisonment at Holloway, and
to be well birdied, and since that he had been sent to lb.:.
loway from the Clerkenwell court for three toontlis for

done so he would probably not be in his present posit,

SEVERE SNOWSTORM IN SCOTLAND.

On the Caledonian line yesterday, the London
mail stuck between Laurencekirk and Fonloun, stout 30
miles fro:u Aberdeen. The train is due at Aberdeen at
12.33, but it hod not arrived at six o'clock in the evening,
the time at which our telegram was despatched. From
Inverness we have a telegram stating that the Highland
line was snowed up on Saturday, and that all traffic was
consequently interrupted. The mails arrived on Sunday
morning. and the line was then clear, but more snow was
falling, with the chance of continued drift. At Myth also
the storm was very severe. The snow began to fall on
Saturday morning, accompanied by a strong wind, and the
blinding drift put a stop to all outdoor work, and made the
reads iu the district almost impassable. Our Dundee corre-
spondent writes:. Snow began to fall in Dundee and neigh-
bourhood early on Saturday morning, and continued
heavily almost without intennimion till a late hour at
night. There was also keen frost, which set in on the pre-
vious day, and the consequence was that the snow har-
dened as it fell, and the streets and roads were soon
covered to a depth of several inches. So numb snow has
not fallen in so short a time in Dundee for many years
put. The trains running into Dundee kept time pretty
well, with the exception of those from foremen. by the
Highland line. Yesterday the weather was bright and
clear. The frost still continued keen." Our Shields cor-
respondent, writing at ten o'clock on Saturday night,states
th at anotherstonn wancionting away from the north-west, and
that there was a heavy fall of snow. The weather was
intensely cold on the Northumberland coast on Saturday,
and the sea was very high. The Aberdeen paddle-steamer
the Pharos, and the Dundee steamer the Pleads, had ar-
rived safe iu the Tyne ; but the Edina, the Leith and New-
castle steamer, had not arrived, though she was overdue,
being reported to be in shelter inside the Ferns ; and the
Half and Newcastle steamship Newcastle, which left Hull
on Wednesday night, had not reached the Tyne. The
schooner Leveret, with a cargo of brandy for Leith from
France, has sought the shelter of the Tyne. That river
and all the north-eastern ports are crowded with shipping
detained through stress of weather.—Scotsman.

moving some goods in a van, and whilst driving his hone
at a very steady pace along Platt-street, the deceased, who

to pull up, but before he could do so the wheel of the
van went over him and injured his head. Assistance
was at once rendered, but when the unfortunate
man was picked up he was found to be quite dead. All
the witnesses deposed to the fact that the defendant was
sot to blame in the matter, and that he was perfectly
sober.

The defendant said he was very sorry for the poor man's
death, hut be could not help it.

ovnissnles in the sum of 101. to appear on that day.

THE POLICE COURT&

MANSION-HOUSE.

Emma Turley, the young girl who was examined last
week upon the charge of attempting to poison herself, was
brought before the Lord Mayor for further examination.
It will be recollected thet the case of the prisoner ap-
=to be of a rather distreming character. She had
deserted at an early age by her parents, and was only
eighteen years old, and she represented that she had en-
deavoured to obtain her livelihood as a domestic servant,
but was unable to keep her situations on accoutt of
being subject to fits. While she was in the court she was
seized with an attack of this deecription, and it was neces-
sary to obtain medical assistance for her, and her case
altogether created a good deal of sympathy. Sir R. Car-
den remanded her for a few days in order to see what
^ould be done for her.

The Lord Mayor said he had received a letter from the
Rev. Mr. Jones, the chaplain of Newgate, in reference to
the prisoner, and she had also seen the Ladies' Com-
mittee, and although some of the statements she had
made did not appear to be quite correct, she appeared to
be an object of sympathy, and if she was willing a home
would be provided for her at the Elizabeth Fry Refuge at
Hackney. If she was willing to accept the offer an order
had been sent for her admission to that institution.

The prisoner exprewed her readiness to accept the offer,
and the officer was directed to accompany her to the refuge
with the order.

GUILDHALL.

Charles Walklett, who had no address, was placed at the
bar, on remand, before Alderman Allen, charged with at-
tempting to stab a police•constable.
It appeared from the evidence of Samuel Millard, 484,
that on the Bth inst. he saw the prisoner on the steps of •
door in Chancery-lane asleep. He woke him up, and be
looked wild and strange. Nothing could be made of him,
and when the officer tried to get him to go home he drew a
clasp-knife and endeavoured to stab him.
The prisoner was brought up to this court on the 9th,
and remanded to Newgate to ascertain the state of his
mind. Two certificates were now produced, ono from
Mr. Gibson, the surgeon at Newgate, stating that he was
of unsound mind, and the other certifying that he had
only recently been discharged from Colney Hatch.
Alderman Allen ordered the prisoner to be taken to the
West London Union, to be sent to the lunatic asylum.
