CHELTENHAM, MONDAY.—The inquest on the body of
Mr. Ridler, manager of the Cheltenham and Gloucestershire
Bank, was resumed and concluded yesterday. The jury,
after hearing the evidence, returned a verdict to the effect
that the deceased died from natural causes.
BOARD or TRADE, WHITEHALL, APRIL 7.—The Right
Hon. the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for
Trade and Plantations have received, through the Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a despatch from her
Majesty's Charge d'Affaires at Mexico, enclosing a copy of
a decree of the Mexican government throwing open to
foreign commerce the ports of Soatzacoalcos and La Ven-
toss, both in the territory of Tehuantepec.
CHURCH PREFERMENTS.—The Rev. Oldfeld Kelsall,
Prescot, has been licensed by the Bishop of Chester to
the perpetual curacy of St. John's Church, Dukinfield,
on the nomination of the Rev. C. K. Prescot, rector of
Stockport, patron, in right of his rectory, value £lBO
The Rev. Charles Brown, M.A., has been instituted by
the Bishop of Chester to the rectory of St. Mary-on-the-
Hill, in the city of Chester, on the presentation of the
Marquis of Westminster, vacant by the death of the
Rev. W. 11. Massie, value of £322, and a house.

RETURN OF THE CRIMEAN ARMY.—Orders have been sent
to Southampton to remove the horse fittings on board H.M.
steamer Himalaya, and to prepare her for conveying
infantry. Also to cause the transports Calcutta, Jason,
Golden Fleece, and Simla to be immediately prepared for
sea, and to be laden with as much coal as possible. These
will be the first ships that will be sent out to bring home
the army from the East. The reason for loading
.them
with so much coal previous to their departure is the
dearness of coal in the East, the price being there about
£3 a ton.
LOS OF LIFEONTHE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.—On Mon-
day morning, as stated in our paper of yesterday, a
serious accident occurred on the above railway. The
mail train started at 5 56 from Carlisle for Glasgow,
with seven carriages and the post-office van attached.
Abput three miles from Carlisle the engine-boiler burst,
and the driver and stoker were instantaneously killed.
A lady and a gentleman were likewise injured, but not
seriously. The engine kept the rails for about 100 yards,
when it bounded off and separated from the tender,
making four or five summersaults endways, and becom-
ing embedded in a field. The tender also became
imbedded within the field fence of the line. All the
carriages were thrown off the rails, one of them (a Perth
carriage) containing three or four passengers, being
turned upon its side. The lady before alluded to (from
Mr. Peter Dixon's, of Holme Eden), who was a passen-
ger in the Perth carriage, was thrown underneath, and,
if the end of the carriage had not broken, she must have
been killed. As it was, one of her feet had to be dug
out, but she is very little worse. The engine is a com-
paratively new one, having been only seven months on
the line. Its roof was blown off, and the accident can-
not yet be wonted for.

THE MILITARY COURT OF ENQUIRY.

The commissioners assembled yesterday morning at
eleven o'clock.

The Earl of Lucan said he regretted to have again to
call attention to an article in the Tunes, which appeared
that morning. He felt bound, however, to bring it under
the consideration of the board, and to submit it to them,
how far it carried out the resolution which they had
arrived at on the previous day. No reply was given, but
The Deputy Judge Advocate said he was directed by
the board to ask his lordship to what he attributed the
great mortality amongst the horses during the time that
the cavalry division was under his command ?

The Earl of Lucan replied that the first!cause was that
they were not properly fed, and while ;the cavalry was
under his command the foraging was both irregular and
insufficient, and the horses deteriorated in condition
from the moment they landed at Scutari and Varna.
At times the Supplies were so bad that he had to give
the food of the baggage animals to his chargers, and to
send the baggage animals about the country to forage
as well as they could. Up to the time that the cavalry
went to the Crimea, there was a great want of forage,
and a great increase in the price of it. He gave com-
missary general Filder great credit for the manner in
which he rationed the men, but he was
very much dissatisfied with him on account
of the supplies for the horses. When he (Lord Lucan)
landed in the Crimea, he heard from Sir R. Airey that
Lord Cardigan had gone on " patrol," with trio or three
hundred horses, and he believed those animals were
without water on that occasion for thirty hours, which
did teem a great deal of irijury. He repeatedly made
representations to Commissary Filder, as to the defi-
ciency of supplies for the horses, but nothing having
resulted from them, he wrote to Sir R. Airey on the 29th
of September, stating that_ Mr. Filder referred him to
him as the quarter-master-general ; but he sheaved no
zeal or desire to attend to it. About that time a quantity
of fodder was obtained at Balaklava, which would
have lasted three weeks, but half of it was
given to the French. After that they succeeded
in getting fodder to the cavalry camp in small quantities.
The artillery got 21bs. more fodder per horse than the
cavalry, and he was led at the time to suppose that it
was by order of Lord Raglan ; but he had since learned
that Lord Raglan, at the time, was ignorant of the cir-
cumstances. Again, the forage was not ready when the
cavalry went to Balaklava first, in consequence of
which, some had to wait two or three hours, and
others had to return without getting anything.
The amount of hay supplied to the army in November,
and during the whole time that they were on the hill,
was 8 lbs, and this was obtained with tolerable
regularity ; but 8
lbs was not en,ugh for horses so
severely worked, and without covering. It was fair.
however, that he should state, that in December, while
the cavalry was at Kadikoi, Mr: Filder called upon him
and said that it was the heavy cavalry that was to blame,
for they had left fodder on the wharf. This brought
his statement as to the cavalry up to the 24th of Novem-
ber, at which time he made application to have arrears
made up. This, however, was not done, though it was
acknowledged by the Quartermaster-General that
the cavalry was entitled to arrears. On the 26th of
November, he applied to be moved from the position
that he then occupied, on account of the number
of deaths, stating that the cavalry was then
hors de combat. and that, if continued, there would
be none of them left. In consequence of this, the posi-
tion was immediately changed—about four hundred were
killed by commissariat duties. He could not agree with
Lord Cardigan's statement made before the Sebastopol
committee, that the cavalry was in excellent condition
when they landed in the Crimea.

Colonel Tullock then made a statement in reference
to the defence of Lord Lucan. He read long extracts
from the printed statements of Lord Lucan, and criticised
his remarks in reference to the calculation of the
mortality amongst the horses. In reply to Lord'Lucan's
observation that the heavy cavalry was not in the Crimea
on the Ist of October, he read returns showing that each
regiment was at Balaklava on that date. With reference
to the mortality amongst the horses, he found that the
average strength"of the heavy brigade in November and
December, 1854, and January, February, and March,
1855, was 727 horses ; and that there died during that
period 501 horses, not including those that died in
battle, giving 77 per cent, of the whole. In the light
brigade the average strength was 457 horses, and
there died during the time mentioned 394, show-
ing a mortality of 92 per cent. That was a
more fearful mortality than had ever occurred,
and it was not to be supposed that every thing that
human ingenuity could devise was applied to lesson the
number of deaths. With regard to hutting he quoted
figures to prove the statement of the commissioners, that
not above one-fifth of the number of men had been
engaged in that work. He denied that there was any
animadversion upon Lord Lucan, and said that the
report only animadverted upon one person, and that
person was now in the Crimea. The gallant Colonel
proceeded to show that the statements of Lord Lucan,
in reference to proecting the horses from the weather,
were incorrect, and that a number of them might have
been saved if a plan, similar to that suggested by Col.
Griffiths, had been adopted. He also quoted returns to
show that sails and tarpaulins might have been
obtained from the ships at Kamiesch for covering the
horses.

Co'onel Tullock called Major Thompson, of the sth
Dragoon Guards, who proved that he had protected his
houses by digging away the earth, and throwing up
embankments of a few feet high.
The board adjourned at four o'clock, till Friday.

HAMBURG, April 7.—A large majority of the assembled
burghers have rejected the third reading, the project
of the constitution.

It is admitted by the Paris correspondent of the Times,
that the indisposition shown by Austria to evacuate the
Principalities has been removed.
The Russian Flotilla ordered to prepare for sea, is
destined to escort the Empress mother to Stettin. After
the coronation her Majesty will proceed to Palermo.
LORD SEATON.— We ( United Service Gazette) are concerned to state that, although greatly improved, the
health of Lord Seaton is still giving uneasiness to his
friends.

The French Government has suspended the delivery
of passports for Paraguay, in consequence of unfavour-
able aecounts of the treatment experienced there by
emigrants.
RETURN OF LORD CLARENDON.—We have reason to
believe the Earl of Clarendon will not leave Paris until the
week after next, by which time it is considered that peace
will be ratified.
Taa RUGELEY POISONING CASES.—We are enabled, on
good authority, to state that Palmer will not be tried at
the Common Session, but at a Special Session of the
Central Criminal Court, at which the three Chief Justices
will sit.

THE NEW METROPOLITAN CATTLE-MARKET.—The report
of the markets improvement committee, referred to in the
account of the proceedings of the last Court of Common
Council, states that the works of the market are nearly
approaching completion, but that a sum not exceeding
.£20,006 will be finally required to finish them.
ROYAL PATRINAGB.—We hear that her Majesty has
been graciously pleased to take a box permanently at the
Adelphi. The Queen's patronage is always the highest
compliment that can be paid to a manager, as that of the
public is his substantial reward. In the case of Mr.
Webster we are not surprised to find the royal stamp given
to that popular favour which a theatre under his manage-
ment has never failed to secure.

IRON TRADE,—BIRMINGHAM, April s.—The anticipations
in which we indulged last week have been to a certain
extent fulfilled. The determination of the trade to abide
by last quarter's quotations has led to a considerable influx
of orders, more particularly for bars—and, according to all
accounts, there is little probability that existing rates wilj
be subjected to any alteration, if even to any discussion, at
the approachiug qna-terly meeting.
DUBLIN, April 9.—Yesterday evening, Mrs. Sarah
Kelly, hitherto distinguished in our law courts as the
successful suitor in the case of Kelly v. Thewles, in
which a very large amount of property was litigated,
was murdered whilst out walking on her grounds, in
the county of Roscommon, in company with her nep-
hew. Two men with blackened faces approached, and
desiring the nephew to stand aside they discharged
pistols, and shot the unfortunate lady through the head.
Her death was instantaneous.

ATHLONE ELECTION.—It was not to be expected that
the conservatives would be idle spectators of the contest
between two or more candidates professing liberal prin-
ciples in Athlone, and accordingly one of their party is
prepared to take the field at the election this week, the
Hon. Henry Hancock, youngest son of Lord Castlemaine,
having been selected for that purpose. Should Mr. Ennis
succeed in inducing Mr. John Reynolds to withdraw his
pretensions, no tory opposition would be offered, and this,
probably will be the result; and should the battle be
fought between Ennis and Reynolds alone, the' the for.
mer, who would have the support of the conservative party
and of a large section of the liberals, would be sure of
success.
