ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL COM-
MITTEE.-(THIS DAY.)

The committee reassembled this morning at the usual

After several of the members had arrived, Mr. Layard
entered the room in a hurried and apparently excited
manner, and, on taking his seat, said :—Mr. Chairman,
Sir Charles Trevelyan ,has very ostentatiously made an
accusation against me.

Lord Seymour rose to order, and suggested that the
room should be cleared before the hon. member pro-
ceeded with his statement.

Mr. Layard replied that he wished the gentlemen of
the press to hear what he had to say, whereupon.
The Chairman said that Sir Charles Trevelyan should
be sent for, and a messenger was despatched accordingly.
Captain Milne ;was then recalled, and his examina-
tion was resumed by Lord Seymour,
Ho stated that all the ,vessels taken up by the Go-
vernment had to be ilitted up properly for the convey-
ance of horses and stores of various descriptions ; but
other shipowners were obliged to be employed in this
service in consequence of the Government con-
tractor being quite overwhelmed with work, and
the necessity for completing the outfit of these
vessels being pressing and immediate. Consider-
ing the large amount-3 millions—of money ex-
pended during the past year in the transport service
by taking up vessels, it would have been more economi-
cal to have purchased the vessels, so chartered, out-
right.

Lord Seymour—Why then was not that course
adopted ?

Captain Milne—ln the first place, we should have had
no means at our command of manning them or appoiat-
ing officers to them ; because we found the greatest
difficulty in manning our Baltic and Black Sea fleets•
There was another objection : we should have been' un-
able to bring these vessels into our own dockyards. The
question was considered by the Admiralty, and was con-
sidered very undesirable.

The witness was then examined relative to the official
regulations which were enforced in the' transport service,
and gave evidence in detail at some length, but it was
not of a generally interesting character.
By the Chairman—There had been no desire on the
part of the Admiralty to increase the expense of the
transport service. If there had been any want in the
army it had not arisen from the want of a sufficient
number of transports.

By Lord Seymour—ln the month of August last
Admiral Boxer wrote to the Admiralty complaining
that he had not an adequate staff, and that he could
not obtain labour. A steamer was despatched for the
purpose of being attached to his service.

none of the present outworks existed, with the exception

morning in the Old Bailey, the memorial signed by

Notwithstanding the extreme coldness of the morning,
vast numbers of people were assembled to witness the
revolting spectacle:

DREADFUL SUFFERINGS ON THE IoE.—The following
interesting particulars of a voyage from Cape Tomentine
to Prince Edward's Island, is given by one of the suf-
ferers (Mr. 'Joseph Were), who is well known to many
of our readers, and who resided several years at Bed-
minster, carrying on the business of a tanner. The letter
was addressed to a gentleman at Boston, and sent to a
friend of Mr. Were in this .city, who kindly favoured 113
with the particulars :—" I suppose long ere this you have
heard of our catastrophe. I will give you the precise
particulars, which I will do to the uttermost in my
power. Owing to a letter received from my lawyer, of
Prince Edward's Island, I thought it advisable to start
immediately, consequently your letter did not reach
Bangor until after my departure. My route was from
New Brunswick, a place called Cape Tomentine, across
the ice to Cape Traverse. After waiting several days for
fair weather, Saturday morning hailed us with every
prospect of a pleasant day. There were two other pas-
sengers besides myself, young men from Prince Edward's
Island, who had been to Boston receiving medical in-
struction, (me named Johnston, the other named Hazard;
besides them four boatmen, making our complement.
After partaking of a hasty breakfast, we sallied forth on
our journey. For several hours the weather was propitious,
then it changed to a heavy snowstorm, which drenched
us to the skin ; we still made our way on, fully expect-
ing to reach the island the same evening. When we came
within a mile and a half of our destination, the snow
was so densely thick we could not make our way through
it ; the night coming on we thought it advisable to en-
camp on a sheet of ice, having no covering whatever to
shelter us from the weather. The next morning we
found we had drifted at least five miles off from the
island. We immediately mustered all bands, using every
exertion imaginable to reach the land. There was a
mile and a-half of water to cross before we came to the
island, and the- waves were running so high the boat-
men said it would be impossible to cross ; we then put
back again, until we came to a sheet of ice, in despair.
It was very cold, and in order to keep ourselves warm,
we took our clothes from our trunks, and nailed them
before the mouth of the boat. By break of day we
held a consultation on the best course to steer ; my ad-
vice was to make for the nearest land on the Nova
Scotia side ; we toiled on the whole day, and towards
evening came in sight of the land, when we again en-
camped on a sheet of ice. Next morning we found our-
selves in a deplorable state of hunger and deprivation,
not having partaken of any nourishment since we
left. The men declared they would not go any fur-
ther without some nutriment. Then was depicted
the passisn of man—selfishness alone prevailed, and
man became a brute. Fortunately, I had a little spaniel
dog, which they seized upon with the greatest avidity,
and after draining every drop of its blood, they ate
the flesh raw, the young doctor partaking with them
that renewed their srength ; and we again set forwardk
for the land. About 11 o'clock, Dr. Hazard was taken
delirious, and I saw his time was come to leaveaf
