TEE MARSDEN CASE.

The trial of Mlle. Doudet, who was acquitted by the
Court of Assizes of the charge brought against her of
cauing the death of the children of Dr. Marsden by ill-
usage, commenced on Friday before the Tribunal of
Correctional Police. The court was crowded, and among
the audience were a great number of ladies. The counts
of the indictment against the prisoner are-Ist, for hav-
ing, in 1552 and 1853, voluntarily given blows and in-
fl wounds on Emily, Rose, and Alice Marsden,
which blows and wounds did not occasion an illness or
as incapacity for personal labour for mere than 20 da3s ;
2dly, for having, in 1851 and in 1853, given blows to
and inflicted wounds on Lucy Marsden, without those
blows and wounds having occasioned an incapacity for
personal labour for more than 20 days—offences pro-
vAed for by Arts. 309 and 311 of the Penal Code. M.
Chaix d'Est Ange appeared, as on the former trial, as
counsel for Dr. Marsden, the partie chile, and M. Nogent
St. Laurens for the defence. The Marsden girls were
in court, and seemed the very picture of health. The
prisoner came into court, dressed in black ; and, in con-
sequence of the weak state of her health, was accom-
modated with a chair. She looked better, however, than
when she was tried by the Court of Assizes. The pro-
ceedings of the day presented no novelty whatever. Dr.
Marsden and his little daughters, as well as the wit-
nesses Tascin, Espert, II ooper, Pacot, Poussielgue, and
Sudre deposed to the cruel manner in which the prisoner
had treated the children confided to her care. The pro-
ceedings were adjourned.
The trial continued on Saturday. Nearly the whole
day was occupied with the examination of witnesses for
the defence. The proceedings were then adjourned.

REFORM OF THE ARMY.

Major REED wished to ask the First Lord of the
Treasury whether it was the intention of her Majesty's
Government to introduce any measures of reform in the.
present system of conducting, the affairs of the army ;
and, if so, whether he had any objection to state what
those measures were, and when they were likely to come
into operation ?
Lord PALMERSTON stated some time ago that it
was the intention of the Government to re-arrange
several portions of the military departments. It was
quite impossible to say what those re-arrangements
would be ; but as soon as they were completed they
would be made known, and he hoped found satisfactory.

HOLLAND.-TBE INUNDATIONS.

ROTTERDAM, March 10. —Accounts from the Lower
and Upper Rhine, and from the province of North Bra-
bant, continue to be of the most distressing description.
We hear of houses undermined and beaten down by the
inundating waters, while others more capable of re-
sisting their violence, stand with their roofs peering
above the surrounding flood. In one instance, in a
village near Dusseldorf, the inhabitants bad not the time
to effect their escape before the waters dashed in,
sweeping all before them. Many poor creatures were
drowned, though not so many, happily, as under the
circumstances might have been expected. To those
who escaped, the only place of safety was in the higher
storeys of their dwellings; and many instances occurred
of people being obliged to seek safety on the roofs of
their cottages, whither no assistance could be conveyed
to them, in consequence of the enormous masses of ice
dashing about on the surface of the encroaching waters.
The village of Veenendaal has suffered severely ; the in-
habitants have left—i.e., have been driven from—their
homes en masse, and may be seen F singing with them
their children, their furniture, and what provisions they
could save, seeking shelter in the w ghbouring villages.
The church, which is situated on a rising ground, is al-
most the only building uninjured by the flood, and it is
consequently filled with poor creatures shut out from
any other shelter. _ . _

The King and the Minister of the Interior have al-
ready visited this scene of desolation, and his Majesty
left in the hands of the authorities a thousand florins for
the immediate relief of the homeless inhabitants of
Ireenendasl. Collections are being made throughout the
whole country for the same benevolent purpose, and as
there are many Dutchmen prospering in England, it may
be that they also will lend a helping hand in aiding their
distressed fellow-countrymen in this their hour of urgent
need.

AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna of the 17th in the German
Journal of Frankfort, says :--" Notice was re;
ceived here three days back that the Cabinets of
France and England have sent to their diploraabe
agents a circular note, to inform the foreign powers,
at what point of view they looked on the fall 0!
Sebastopol. The Ambassadors of France one
Englard at Vienna expect this note to-day or to:
morrow, and it will no doubt be immediately se.o;
to Ischl, where the Emperor and the two Mims".,;
tors, Count de Buol and Baron do Bach, are still
staying."

LATEST NEWS.

THE RUSSIAN STORES CAPTURED,

PARIS, SATURDAY MORNING,

General Pelissier writes from Sebastopol on
he 19th inst., at 5 p.m.:—
" Out of 4,000 cannon, 50 at least are in

bronze. Others were thrown into the harbour
at the moment of the retreat, and I shall have

;hem recovered.

"We have already removed 200,000 kilo-
grammes of powder, and more is continually dis-

covered.

"The number of projectiles will exceed

100,000."

A despatch from Admiral Bruat, of the same
date, announces that the vessels of the Allies de-
stroyed in the Sea of Azoff, between the 6th and
11th of September, five fisheries on the coast of
Serviank, and 68 in the lakes and rivers of the neigh-
bouring coast; they burnt 31 storehouses, contain-
ing nets or provisions, and 98 boats laden with
provender and other provisions."

The Moniteur gives a positive denial to the

rumour spread yesterday, at the Bourse, of an

attempt upon the person of the Emperor.

NEW GRANA DA.

evmis
The following letter on the state of affairs a.
New Granada after the revolution will be read with
interest :
BOUOTA, 12th July, 1855.--I have the honour of
informing you that the Republic continues to enjoy the
most perfect peace, without any cause for perturbation
in any part of its vast territory. The judicial proceed-
ings against ex-President Ovando are continuing their
course through the second hearing at the Supreme Court,
conformably to law, .after the sentence pronounced at
the first hearing and inserted in the official gazette of
30th June, and by which he; being• declared guilty of
high treason, was condemned to banishment from the
republic for 12 years, with legal fines and penalties, and
the loss of his civil and political rights during the period
of his exile. The greater number of individuals brought
to justice for complicity in the rebellion of April, 1854,
and who have not been accused of capital crimes, have
accepted the legislative indult of 29th May, on condition
of quitting the country or certain provinces, as the
Government has not caused, and will not cause, blood
to be shed, in expiation of the- late attempt at rebellion.
"The industry and commerce of the country are now
in a flourishing condition, recovering quickly from the
injuries inflicted on them, materially and morally, by
the rebellion ; and all brinches of the public service are
being reorganised. The Treasury, which was burthoned
anew from the above causes, has been legislatively as-
sisted by various fiscal measures—amongst them an aug-
mentation of 23 per cent. on the import duties, and a
moderate clUty on the exportation of tobacco and bark,
abolishing at the same time certain municipal imposts on
exports ; but with the great economy which is decreed
especially in the standing army, and with the regularity
in the receipt and distribution of revenue, a very short
time will enable us to establish an equilibrium between
our revenue and obligations. A patent has been granted
for a national bank of commission, discount, and deposit,
conformably to law of 13th June, and important opera-
tions are about to be made with the waste lands. The
privilege granted for the enterprise of a tramway from
the valley of the Cauca to the port of Buenaventura
on the Pacific holds out the prospect of great advantages
for New Granada.
Our relations with foreign powers continue in the hest
harmony.
The annual general elections for senators, representa-
tives, magistrates, and deputies of provinces are about
to commence, and will be of great interest for all poli-
tical parties. The liberty of election is completely un-
fettered, the law thereon well amended, and it is there-
fore to be hoped that the order party will triumph.

selection. We have no hesitation in saying that, if
elected, he will serve the office with dignity and princely
splendour.
BANE OF FRANCE.—It appears that the rise yesterday
in the rate of the Bank of France from 4 to 5 per cent.
was limited to advances on stocks and shares, and is not
yet applied to commercial bills. The aim of the mea-
sure, therefore, was exclusively against the spirit of spe-
culation on the Paris Bourse and the operations of the
Credit Mobilier. As, however, there could be little
prospect of an attempt of this kind to distinguish be-
tween an unhealthy state of affairs in one department of
business and the soundness observable in another being
permanently effective, it is assumed that the measure
will in a short period be extended to all descriptions of
securities.

SUICIDE AT WATERLOO-BRIDGE.—Last evening Mr.
Langham held an inquest on the body of Fanny Elliott,
aged 19, who had committed suicide by throwing her-
self from Waterloo-bridge on the previous morning. The
deceased, who was within two months of her confine-
ment, had latterly been in low spirits in consequence of
her desertion by a young man named Mason, with whom
she had cohabited about a year and a half. Verdict,
"Temporary insanity."

ANKRUPTCY OF C. J. MARE AND CO.

With reference to the aflairs of Messrs. C. J.
dare and Co., it transpired yesterday in the Bank-
uptcy Court that Mr. Mare has availed himself of
;ho provisions of the Private Arrangement Act of
L 849. The following circular has at the same time
been issued to the creditors of the house by the ao-
"h.lountants engaged in investigating its position :
" 57, Coleman-street, London, Sept. 20.
" We beg to apprise you that we are engaged in in•
yestigating the affairs of Mr. Charles J. Mare, of Black-
wall, with the view to prepare and submit a statement
k:)f them at the earliest possible period.
" The financial pressure which has rendered this
Course expedient will, it is hoped, prove but temporary,
nd that such arrangethents may be speedily made as will
trove satisfactory to all parties interested.
; " The great extent and important character of Mr.
Mare's concerns and the peculiar nature of the establish-
Ments necessary to their conduct render it a matter of
essential moment that no hasty interference should take
lace with the current operations of his business, in
rder to avoid which, and to preclude preferential pay-
eats to individual creditors, Mr. Mare has been a el-
sed to avail himself of the provisions of the act of
849, and he has accordingly taken the necessary steps
or that purpose.

nce livith a statement of your account and of the par-
iculars of the securities (if any) held by you.

OFFICIAL ACCOUNT

OF THE

CAPTURE OF SEBASTOPOL.

GEN. SIMPSON'S DESPATCH.

WAR DEPARTMENT, Snpr. 22.

Major the Hon. Leicester Curzon arrived this
morning with a despatch from General Simpson
to Lord Panmure, of which the following is a
copy :

BEFORE SEBASTOPOL,
SEPT. 9, 1855.
My Lord,- I had the honour to apprise your
lordship in my despatch of the 14th inst. that
the engineer and artillery officers of the Allied
Armies had laid before General Pelissier and my-
self a report recommending that the assault should
be given on the Bth inst., after a heavy fire had
been kept up for three days.
This arrangement I agreed to, and I have to
congratulate your lordship on the glorious results
of the attack of yesterday, which has ended in the
possession of the town, dockyards, and public
buildings, and destruction of the last ships of the
Russian fleet in the Black Sea. Three steamers
alone remain, and the speedy capture or sinking
of these must speedily follow.
It was arranged that at twelve o'clock in th•
day the French columns of assault were to leave
their trenches, and take possession of the Mala-
khoff and adjacent works. After their success
had been assured, and they were fairly established,
the Redan was to be assaulted by the English ;
the Bastion, Central, and euarantine Forts, on
the left, were simultaneously to be attacked by
the French.

At the hour appointed our Allies quitted their
trenches, entered and carried the apparently im-
pregnable defences of the Malakhoff with that im-
petuous valour which characterises the French
attack ; and, having once obtained possession,
they were never dislodged.
The tricolour planted on the parapet was the
signal for our troops to advance.
The arrangements for the attack I entrusted to
Lieutenant-General Sir William Codrington, who
carried out the details in concert with Lieutenant-
General Markham.

I determined that the Second and Light Divi-
sions should have the honour of the assault, from
the circumstance of their having defended the
batteries and approaches against the Redan for so
many months, and from the intimate knowledge
they possessed of the ground.
The fire of our artillery having made as much
of a breach as possible in the salient of the Redan,
I decided that the columns of assault should be
directed against that part, as being less exposed
to the heavy flanking fire by which this work is
protected.

It was arranged. between Sir W. Codrington
and Lieut.-General Markham that the assaulting
column of 1,000 men should be formed by equal
numbers of these two divisions, the column of the
Light Division to lead, that of the 2d to follow.l

THE RUSSIAN STORES CAPTURED,

PARIS, SATURDAY MORNING.

General Pelissier writes from Sebastopol on
the 19th inst., at 5 p.m.:—
" Out of 4,000 cannon, 50 at least are in
bronze. Others were thrown into the harbour
at the moment of the retreat, and I shall have
them recovered.

"We have already removed 200,000 kilo-
grammes of powder, and more is continually dis-
covered.

"The number of projectiles will exceed

100, 000."

A despatch from Admiral Bruat, of the same
date, announces that the vessels of the Allies de-
stroyed in the Sea of Azoff, between the Gth and
11th of September, five fisheries on the coast of
Serviank, and 68 in the lakes and rivers of the neigh-
bouring coast; they burnt 31 storehouses, contain-
ing nets or provisions, and 98 boats laden with
provender and other provisions."

The Moniteur gives a positive denial to the
rumour spread yesterday, at the Bourse, of an
attempt upon the person of the Emperor.
