ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL COM-

MITTEE - (THIS DAY.)

The inquiry was resumed this morning' at the usual
hour.

The first witness examined was the Hon. and Rev. Sid-
ney Godolphin Osborne.
In reply to the Chairman, he stated that he went cut to
Scutari 'on hie oe'vn account, having letters of introduction
from Mr. Sidney Herbert and Lord Clarendon. There
were only two Chaplains there, and he (lit. Osborne) acted
as assistant. He believed that nothing could be worse than
the state of the general hospital at Beutari, and he could
scarcely consider it an hospital in the condition in
which he found it. There was. no systeM, and they
were short of a large proportion of everything that was
wanted for the commonest necessaries. As regarded
medicines, the chaplain was taken ill with cholera at
dinner; it was proposed to give him one of the simplest
draughts, but there was no drugs for making IL Dr. Smith
told him he could get no prepared chalk for the patients in
his ward. Amongst the sargical requirements there wore
no spirits to be found when wanted for a Russian prisoner
whose leg had been shattered. Ha had conversed with
Dr. M`Gregor on tho state of the hospital, and -told
him that he was supplying Miss Nightingale with
everything from the Times fund. Miss Nightingale
having come out under the auspices of the Secretary at
War, Mr. Macdonald, at the request •f Mies Nightin-
gale, put a notice in the Tina?, stating that there was a
want of linen ; but ho did not know th It lint was wanted.
He oould not rase, that ho saw it was wanted by the patients
in the hospital. Ho was asked to obtain sponges for ope-
rations. He used to call upon Miss Nightingale every day
iu order to ascertain what she wanted, in order that she
might communicate with Mr. Macdonald. Miss
Nightingale requested him to get her some sponges,
she having only two ; and he sub equently sent her
some. There were no operating tables in the hospital, and
he and the surgeon had to assist the rick patients in their
arms during tho performance of the opcietione. He made
objection to all the medical officers, but until the last the
operations were performed in the ward. Subsequently
tan officers' tables, which shook very much, were used for
the purpose of operations. There being, no head or system
in the • hospital he could expect no discipline, and these
were wanting at Scutari.- A larger staff and an efficient
responsible head were wanting. There was present
a military officer, the commandant, Major Selery,
who was head of the hospital. That gentleman
did his best ; 'but, taking such a crowded mess cf
wounded without beds, as, for example, after the battle
of Inkerman--everything which was material end physical
was short-handed. Alter Inkerwan he had to get the
sacking off beds, with his coat off, and he assisted in laying
out the wounded men. With a want of material like
this, with such a gigantic establiehmeet, it would be hard
to blame any individual.

The Chainnau—Did you see LDrd Stralforcl do Redeliffe
at all?

Mr. (Morn° replied that he did, and informed him that
ho hid seen Dr. Menzies, who said . that nothing was
wanted—just as the Secretary at War had said before be
left. 2ngl snd—Lthe fact beint that
.eyorything was wanted
as the battles pf Balaklava and Inkerman were over. He
did %not consider tliat,there Was a proper authority in charge
of the hospitals there: Dr. Menzies was the nominal head,
bat he was a head in a state of suspension. (Laughter.)
Dr. Cumming appeared to act as head semttimes, but he
was told he had no, authority to act in that capacity.
Things became so bad, that he thought the position given
Fins by Mr. Sidney Herhest and Lord Clarendon demanded
that he should attempt to get it remedied on the spot..
There was no improvement with regard to the transport
of the sick before he came away, but knowing the instruc-
tions given to the Duke of NeWcastle's commissioners
he sent to them a letter, in which ho embodied all the
grievances existing in the transport ships. The commis-
sioners arrived two days before himself, but they did not
commence operations at once. The commissioners were
Dr. Spence, Dr. Cumming, awl Mr. Maxwell, a barrister.
Dr. Spence went op to Balaklava in the Prince, and as he
was drowned there was some delay in filling his place.
They did him (the witness) the honour to ask him if he
wosild fill the vacancy, but he declined; at the same time,
however, offining to giro the best assistance in his power.
The Chairman—Did you see anything of the food sup-
plied to the patients in the hospital ?

Mr. Osborne—He had seen meat served out in a raw
state time after time; and he called Dr. l'd.'Gregor's atten-
tion to he fact. He believed that a great amount of the
deaths which took place were occasioned by the irregular
iipaps at whiCh the food was supplied, and the imperfect
metie in which it was caked. Men who were brought
freM the transport ship, who were not fit to walk ten
yards, were compelled, from want of stretchers, to walk
the whole distance up to the hospital. Ho attributed
these and other irregularities to a want of system.

The witness was still under examination r; hen this re-
port was despatched.

LIE GREAT BANK _ROBBERY IN
AUSTRALIA.

APPREHENSION OF GARRETT.

The above notorious character, charged with robbing the
Vittoria Bank, Melbourne, South Australia, of 14,0001.,
was yesterday.evening detected by policeman E 111, aided
by two City detectives, and, without a struggle on his part,
though armed to the teeth, was safely lodged in the St.
Giles's station-house.

He was only a few days arrived from tha antipodes, and
it is supposed by the steam•ship Argo. On being ques-
tioned as to his residence he denied having any, but the
police, who so well watched him, knew otherwise, and
found out his lodgings, and in them materials to enable
them to have him prosecuted for more than one felony
with which he appears to have been suspected previous to
leaving the colony. Garrett was a ticket-of-leave man,
and it appears made his first essay, after obtaining his
liberty, by the determined robbery with which he is now
charged. He was brought up this morning at
MARLBOROUGH-STREET,

on a warrant signed by the Secretary of St* for the
Home Department, charged with forcibly entering the
Bank of Victoria, Ballarat, on the Bth day of October,
1851, and stealing therefrom 14,3001. sterling, and upwards
of 200 oz: of gold dust. After the prisoner was locked up
at the station house the following property was found at
his lodging : Two credit cheques on Coutts and Co., one
for 1,0371. Gs. 3d., and the other for M.; 1301, in gold, a
dagger, a knife, two rtvolvers, a cutlass, 4 nuggets of gold,
and other valuable articles. The prisoner, it appeared,
lodged at No. 15, King-street, Soho, and for his well-
known desperate character, a constable was ordered to
watch him in his cell during the whole of last night. His
personal appearance is most formidable ; he stands nearly
six feet in height, and a hugs pair of whiskers, and heavy
moustache, added greatly to the natural fierceness of his
look. He was dressed in a black paletot and lavender
trousers, and on his wrists it had been thought necessary
to place handcuffs.
Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution. The pi
goner was not defended.

In opening the case, the learned gentleman said the pri-
soner was ono of four persons, the other three of whom are
in custody, eau charge of robbing the Victoria Bank in
Australia. The four prisoners entered the bank in broad
daylight, secured the only two persons in the place, and
proceeded to rifle it of its contents. Quin, Maliott, and
Bolton were the names of the other men, and the whole
of the plan of robbery had been disclosed by Quin, who had
turned Queen's evidence. The prisoner arrived in London
by the ship Dawaton, having shipped himself on board at
Port Jackson. He held in his hand a copy of the deposi•
tions,taken before the Melbourne magistrates, the correct-
ness of which ho should be able •to prove when a witness
arrived from Southampton. The course he proposed to
follow to-day was only to offer sufficient evidence to induce
the magistrate to remand the prisoner.
Henry Webb, detective officer of the city police, said he
arrested the prisoner at the corner of John-street, Oxford-
street, last night. On apprehending him he told hint on what
he was charged. The arrest took place as follows :—On
meeting him in Tottenham-court-read, he said, " How do
you do Mr. Garrett." He said " How do you do; I don't re-
member you." He then toll the prisoner that he was an
officer, and held in his hand a warrant for his apprehen-
sion for a robbery in the Victoria Bank, in October last,
and hating hired a cab, he ordered the driver to go the
station-house. On arrivi.ng there, the inspector asked if his
name was Garrett? He said yes, and on the inspector asking if
it was " Henry Garrett," he said, "I suppose so." He (the
constable) then asked him where ho lived; he said in Lon-
don; find on asking him whore, he said, "Oh, t dare say
You know." On searching him ho found a dagger, pocket-
book, and , thirteen pounds in golds a gold watch and
chain, a portrait of a lady, And ft natal cer-
tificate, in the name of Large, signed by 'Wil-
liam Crossley, master of the -ship Wellington. He,
from priVate infOrmatibn, fdtirid out his lodging
in 6oho, haying traced him there several times. (in en-
tering the apartments occupied by the prisoner, ho there
saw a female, who said she was tho priloner's wife, and on
searching the rooms he found, amongst other things, a re-
volver heavily loaded. Hs believedi if lime Was nllowee.
