Sr. MARY-LE-STRAND CRURCH. —This beautiful edifice
has been repaired, adorned, and warmed by the best
process, and its free accommodation augmented, under
the auspices of the Rev. J. F. Denham, rector ; and
Messrs. Stewart and Saunders, churchwardens. By
the removal of an unsightly range of middle pews the
altar has been thrown open to the view of the whole
congregation, and the well-known elegance of the in-
terior completely restored. The fabric now affords its
original illustration of the classical taste of its architect,
and is in all respects worthy of its position in the great
thoroughfare of the metropolis.

THE MURDERER BARTHELEMY.—On Sunday last the
Rev. Dr. 11I'Cullock, one of the chaplains of the Roman
Catholic Church in Rosaman-street, Clerkenwell, soli-
cited from the congregations assembled at the four masses
or services of the day, their prayers for the eventual
eternal salvation of one of the most penitent of sinners,
whom he was at present spiritually attending in Newgate
prison. In describing his repentance, the reverend
gentleman stated that the party he alluded to was one of
the most repentant man he had ever met with. In ac-
cordance with the above suggestion, the usual prayers
for the conversion and eternal happiness of repentant
sinners were repeated.

BOW-STREET.--(TIlIS DAY.)

EXTENSIVE BURGLARY IN HOLBORN.—This morning
two young men, named Robert Burke and John Joyce,
were p►laced at the bar, charged. with having committed
a burglary on the premises of Mr. Charrent, tailor,
No. 240, Holborn.

Police-constable 145 stated that about half-past one
this morning be was trying the different doors on his
beat, and found the door of the Louse 240 unfastened.
On trying to obtain admission he found something ob-
structing his entrance. Having succeeded in forcing
an entrance, he first saw Joyce leaning over a pile of
cloth, and Burke standing behind the door. He imme-
diately gave the alarm, and on searching the passage
*copnlasiesetded ready
nine coats and nine
found a great quantity of cloth, nearly nfeoarilyre6mOoyvaarl.ds,
Tanhd
o
wearing wearing
aappip,
aarreell ,
waistcoats. On further examinaton of the premises he
found the cash box and desk in the shop had been broken
open, and a chisel found en Burke corresponded with
the marks ou both. There was no marks of violence on
the outer doors of the premises. Having obtained as-
sistance, he conveyed the prisoners to the station-house,
and there'it was found that the clothes the men had on
were also a portion of the property of Mr. Charrent.
They each had on two coats and two waistcoats. After
they had been searched at the station, Burke said to
Joyce, " It's a case with us now, so it's no use to be
downhearted."

The inspector said there were peculiar circumstances
connected with the burglary which induced him to think
that a third party was concerned in it. Exactly opposite
the house of Mr. Charrent this morning, at the time the
robbery was taking place, a woman began to scream
violently, and, of eGurse, attracted the attention of the
police. leformation bad also been forwarded to the
station-house that the waterman of the coach stand near
the house was drunk. He immediately sent a constable
to ascertain the truth of the statement, but the man was
found by the constable to be perfectly sober—the object
of this runs being to remove the Waterman from his
stand, it having been thought that he would proceed to
the station with the constable, and thus the place would
have been left without a policeman near. This trick
failed. The constable having ascertained that the report
was false, returned to the station and reported it. The
aid of the waterman was eventually required in convey-
ing the prisoners to the station.

The foreman to Mr. Charrent having identified the
property, and not being able in any way to account for
the manner in which the premises were entered,
The magistrate committed them both for trial.

THE BUDGET.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
perhaps it would be convenient for the house to know
what would be the progress of public business immedi-
ately after 'Easter. lie should be pkeparad to make the
financial statement immediately after the recess, but
as it might not be convenient to some hon. members to
make it on the first clay afVr the holidays, viz., Monday,
the 16th of April, he should propOse to bring forward the
budget on Friday, the 20th of April. On Monday, the 16th,
the President of the Board of Health would move the
second reading of the bill for, the better government of
the metropolis, and after that it would be proposed to
go into committee of supply. (Hear, hear.)
AIVOTIRNMENT OF THE !HOUSE.
Sir G. GREY, in the absence of Lord Palmerston,
from indisposition, moved that the house at its rising
should adjourn until Monday, the 16th of April next.
THE COLONIES.

Sir J. PAKINGTON again took the opportunity of
directing attention to the unsatisfactory, state of the
Colonial Department, and gave notice that if matters
were not mended after Easter, and should Lord John
Russell not have returned, he should submit a formal
motio❑ to:the house on the subject. '

THE MILITIA.

The North Lincoln Militia, now assembled at Lincoln,
having for some time laboured under a wrong impression
that they were not liable to serve more than 56 days in any
one year, and some of them having entertained au opinion
that part of the bounty was held back, the commanding
officer, Lieutenant colonel Ellisen, explained to the men
the exact position they held, and how erroneous their im-
pressions as to the period of servitude were. The men
aeard the commander with respectful attention, and he,
having explained everything to them to their perfect satis-
faction, complimented them on the very general good con-
duct of the regiment. On Thursday three companies (the
Grenadiers, No. land No. 7) left Lincoln for Dover, and
it is expected that the whole of the regiment will shortly
leave.

" Recruiting for the Royal South Lincoln Militia is pro-
gressing very satisfactorily at Grantham, about 200 men
having been already enrolled and despatched to the head-
quarters at Chieheeter.
The Notts Militia, still remains embodied at Newark.
Earl Vane, the Lieutenant-Colonel commanding the
North Durham Regiment of Militia, having received
orders from the War-office to permit those men who might
desire it, who had been enrolled under the Militio.Act of I 852,
to return to their homes on completing 53 days' training
and exercise, on Wednesday last the greater number of the
men claimed their release, and were permitted to withdraw
accordingly. About 22, however, volunteered for perma-
nent service, and were re-attested, receiving an additional
bounty of J. per anan. On Thursday morning the regi-
ment, which had numbered 260 the day before, only mus-
tered 85 oh paradei _

The majority of the South Durham Regiment, who had
arrived at a high state of efficiency, and were ordered to
be in readiness to march in a few days to the camp at
Aklershott, have also largely availed themselves of the op-
portunity of retiring, anci'do not now muster more than
about 100 men.

A largo number of the York Rifles have also declined
further service this year.

BILLETING THE MILITIA.

Colonel DUNNE asked the Under Secretary for War
what measures, if any, had been taken to relieve the in-
habitants of the towns in Ireland from the bilfeting of
the militia, and whether that force was to be provided with
lints or barracks, or otheraccommodation ; and whether
any arrangements had been made fir that purpose, or, if
not, when they would be made ?

Mr. PEEL said it was intended to affird such relief,
and the Ordnance Board were now looking out for build-
ings for the Wie of the militia.

VENTILATION OF THE HOUSE.

Mr. SANDARS asked the Chief Commissioner:Cf
'Works if it was his inter tion, during the Easter recess,
to adapt miens to improve the defectiye- vcntiietiori,of
the house and its approaches.
Sir W. MOLESWORTII denied that the ventilation
of the house required improvement.
- LIFE ASSURANCE ASSOCIATIONS.

Mr. COWAN. asked the Secretary whether be had
any intention to introduce a bill during the present ses-
sion on the subject of life assurance associations,
founded upon the report of'the select .cotnmitteein 18531
Mr. WILSON was not prepared to say what Govern-
ment intended to do, but' many of the evils which
it was thought called for legislation had been recom-
mended by the inquiry itself. If no bill were intr,,quced
this session the Income-tsx Life Insurance Act of last
year would be renewed.

London, England, 1855-03-31

as those taxes increased must the expense of collection in- I
crease.

Col. DUNNE totally denied that the hon. gentleman
had any right to complain, and contended tlh t, on the
contrary, he and other members had a right to complain
of the coarse that had been taken by the right hon. gen-
tleman.
London, England, 1855-03-31

THE CRIMEA.

A lettei in the Courrier de Marseilles, dated Ka-
miesh, 17th of March, says:—
"The Russians are tbrowinr up new works of defence
opposite the Victoria redoubt, which is now occupied by
the 9th French division. Fr= this redoubt rockets are
every evening fired into the town and must do consider.
able damage. During th• last armistice for burying the
dead a Russian officer said to one of our staff officers,
You fire rockets ; those fireworks amuse us.' Well,'
replied the officer, ' it is an amusement we can procure
often and gratis.' We keep cur promise ; the rockets
we send differ certainly in some respects from those used
as fireworks, as each rocket carries 201 b. of powder
with it, which explodes and sets fire to everything it
comes in contact with.
" The army receives reinforcements every day. Since
the commencement of the mcnth more than 5,000 horses
or mules have been landed. The artillery and baggage
waggons are completely remounted.
" The English army is also in a much better condi-
tion ; its Light Division consists of 10 regiments, each
of 500 effective men. Its Naval Brigade works at the
redoubts. Its sanitary condition is excellent.
" This change must be attributed not to the weather
alone, which is less severe, but to all the bygienic
mea-
sures taken in their camp, as also in the Turkish camp.
The carcases of the horses which lined the road from
Balaklava to the camp have disappeared. The dead
are also buried with great care, and to prevent the dan-
ger from putrid miasma quicklime has been thrown over
the bodies. This is an excellent measure, and it is a pity

. _
it was not thought of before, as the ground is very rich
in chalk.
"The enemy have not resumed tleir right sorties,
which never succeeded. They are making their defences
bristle with cannon at all the ♦ulnerable points, and fire
immense masses of•projectiles, which fly over our para-
pets and do us very little harm. The day upon which
the signal is given we shall reply to them with the music
of 400 cannon, each provided with 900 rounds. All the
echoes of the Black Sea will resound to it."
London, England, 1855-03-31

CLERGY RESERVES ACT.

Mr. DUNLOP asked the First Lord of the Treasury,
whether—considering that by the Clergy Reserves Act,
recently passed by the legislature of Canada, and as-
sented to by the Governor-General in the name of her
Majesty, it was declared in the preamble to certain of
its enactments that "it was desirable to remove all sem-
blance of connection between Church and State"—it was
the intention of the Government to cease to maintain
that connection in Canada, by no longer advising her
Majesty to nominate to vacant bishoprics in that
Colony?
Sir G. GREY said there had been no vacancy aillge

the act passed, and he was not aware of any alteration
in the practice of the Government.

HOSPITALS IN THE EAST,

Mr. G. DUNDAS asked the Under Secretary for
War if directions had been sent by the Government to
the proper authorities in the Crimea and at Scutari to
relax the system of check and countercheck, and facili-
tate the obtaining from the purveyors' commissariat,
and storekeepers the provisions and necessaries which
the sick require ?
Mr. PEEL said such directions would be sent out,
and all unnecessary forms would .n future be dispensed
with.
London, England, 1855-03-31

GRATUITOUS OFFER OF MEDICAL SERVICE.

Mr. BENNET asked the rigit hon. the member for
Wiltshire, whether Mr. George Pollock, assistant-surgeon
at St. George's Hospital, did not offer his gratuitous
services to the army in the Crimea ; and if so, why his
offer was not accepted; and a similar question with regard
to Dr. Hugh Macpherson, of the Bengal service ?
Mr. S. HERBERT said such offers were made, but
Dr. Macpherson only undertook to serve for three
months. Mr. Pollock declined to accept the rank of
assistant-surgeon, and as Government refused gratuitous
services the offer fell through.
London, England, 1855-03-31

THE SCREW FLEET-TO WHOM ARE WE
MAINLY INDEBTED ?

The departure from Spithead of an entire fleet of screw-
ships, of greater force than ever left a British port before,
is an event which inevitably suggests the question—" To
whom is England indebted for tke introduction of screw
propulsion, which has thus enabled her to send forth the
most powerful steam fleet the world ever saw?"
1V.:? have repeatedly shown that the person to whose
exertions this result is mainly due is Mr. Francis Pettit
Smith, and that the national service thus rendered has met
with neither public recognition nor reward.
Some of those who have had the best means of knowing
the true value and extent of his services have united
their efforts to remove this charge of national neglect,
by promoting a subscription, entitled tho " Smith Tes-
timenial Fund ;" and in publishing the list of subscribers
to this fund, in which the names of almost every ship-
building and engineering firm appears, they remark,
" that when it is known that the nation next in naval
awer to ourselves have awarded to our countryman the
honour of this great maritime improvement, his own na-
tion and government will not continue to withhold from
him an act of substantialjustice."—Mo 7'12 mg

LIFE ASSURANCE ASSOCIATIONS.

Mr. COWAN asked the Secretary whether he had
any intention to introduce a bill during the present ses-
sion on the subject )f life assurance associations,
founded upon the report of the select committee in 1853 ?
Mr. WILSON was not prepared to say what Govern-
ment intended to do, but many of the evils which
it was thought called for legislation had been recom-
mended by the inquiry itself. If no bill were introduced
this session the Income-tax Life Insurance Act of last
year would be renewed.
London, England, 1855-03-31

but he had heard no satisfaoryourt of Chancery reason why .
The
taa
oust should form any part of the C
only meson assigned by the Solicitor-General was that it
sometimes happened that while a bill was contested it was .
necessary to go to the Court of Chancery to protect the
property in the interval.. But these cases wore so rare
that there had not been one. during the last two veers. He
saw no reason why the present system and establishment,
which performed its duties admirably,' should be abolished
at so largo a cost to the country. -
Mr. KEOGH replied to Mr. Napier and Mr. Malin',
admitting that the question should .'be dealt with in a
comprehensive manner, and .stating that the Government
intended to do so.
Mr. PHILLIMORE defended the profession in the
London Ecclesiastical Courts. In all the reports and
evi
dence the testimony was unvarying to the assiduity
with
which.the functions connected with those Courts were dia-
. charged. He should vote, he said, for the first reading of
th, bill, unon the principle that it was high time that the
house should take away the civil jurisdiction from the
Spiritual Courts.
Sir J. PAKINGTON regretted that the Government
had dealt with only one branch of this iinportant subject,
and hoped they would consider whether it was not pos-
eible still to deal with it as a whole.
Mr. HADFIELD spoke in favour of the bill, which, he
said, woubl give general satisfaction.
Mr. BOWYER veal of opinion that aseparate exclusive
court for testamentary jurisdiction was unnecessary, sod
that wilts should be tried like deeds and other instruments
inter vivos.
' a few words from the LORD ADVOCATB and the
SOLICETO2-GENERAL, leave was given to bring in the bill.
Sir W. MOLES WORTH obtained leave to bring in a
bill to ratify conditional agreements entered into by the
. Commissioners of her Majesty's Works and Public Build-
ings, and to vest in the said commissioners certain pro-
perly in the city of Edinburgh, and to enable the said
conerni=sioners to acquire certain property near the Palathe
ce
of Ifolyr o and a bill to amend the laws relating to
const-uction of buildings in the metropolisi
Mr. E. ELLICE had leave to bring n a bill for the
better administration of the Poor Law in certain districts
in Scotland.
The house was counted out at half-past twelve o'clock,
and adjoUrned until the 16th of April.

Rouschouk, July 10, 1854.
Highness,—lt being my duty to bring under your High-
ness's favourable entice the conduct of British officers
engaged in the action of the 7th instant, and the passage
of the Danube, I have the honour to state that I crossed
the river on that morning, with the first body of troops,
under the commasd of Ferik Biker Pasha, accompanied
by Captain Bent, of the Royal Engineers, and Lieute-
nant Ballard, of the Bombay Engineers. These 'two offi-
cers wore caaericuous for their gallantry in leading
on our light infantry troops against the Russinns,
and successfully carried everything before them, until
strong reinforcements of the enemy arrested their progress.
At this critical moment my aide-de-camp, Liit.-Colonel
Youer Bey oBalfour Ogilvy), who had crossed higher up
the river, with a body of 500 men, arrived, and with him
Lieutenant-Colonel Beyzad Bey (Hinde). These two offi-
cers fought their way in the most gallant and spirited
manner, and succeeded in forming a timely junction with
the main body cf on troops.
It is with pain I have to inform your highness that

comprehensive manner, and stating that the Government
intended to do so.

Mr. PHILLIMORE defended the p
London Ecclesiastical Courts. In all the reports and (mi.
dence the testimony was unvarying to the assiduity with
which the functions connected with those Courts were dis-
charged. He should vote, he said, for the first reading of
the bill, noon the principle that it was high time that the

Sir J. PAKINGTON regretted that the Government

Mr. HADFIELD spoke in favour of the bill, which, he
said, would give general satisfaction.
Mr. BOWYER. was of opinion that a separate exclusive

Sir W. MOLES WORTH obtained leave to bring in a

Enclosure.

Rouschouk, July 10, 1854.
Highness,—lt being my duty to bring under your High-
ness's favourable notice the conduct of the British officers
engaged in the action of the 7th instant, and the passage
of the Danube, I have the honour to state that I crossed
the river on that morning, with the first body of troops,
under the command of Ferik Beker Pasha, acocaupanied
by Captain Bent, of the lioyal Engineers, and Lieute-
nant Ballard, of the Bombay Engineers. These two offi-
cers wore conspicuous for their gallantry in leading
on our light infantry troops against the Russians,
and successfully carried everything before them, until
strong reinforcements of the enemy arrested their progress.
At this critical moment my aide-de-camp, Lieut.• Colonel
'Toner Boy (Balfour Ogilvy), who had crossed higher up
the river, with a body of 500 men, arrived, and with him
Lieutenant-Colonel Beyzad Bey (Hinde). Those two offi-
cers fought their way in the most gallant and spirited
manner, and succeeded in forming a timely junction with
the main body of our troops.
It is with pain I have to inform your highness that
Lieutenant Burke, of the Royal Engineers, was killed
whilst acting with a detached body of our troops. I have
also the melancholy duty to record the death of Captain
Arnold,- of the 31 Regiment of Madras Light Infantry,
and Lieutenant Meynell, of her Majesty's 75th Regiment
of Foot, both serving on my personal staff. These two
brave British officers fell in a desperate conflict with the

THE BUDGET.

The CHANCELLOR of the—EXCHEQUER said
perhaps it would be convenient for the house to know
what would be the progress of public business immedi-
ately after Easter. He should be prepared to make the
financial statement immediately after the recess, but
as it might not be convenient to some hon. members to
make it on the first day after the holidays, viz., Monday,
the 16th of April, he should propose to bring forward the
budget on Friday, the 20th of April. On Monday,the 16th,
the President of the Board of Health would move the
second reading of the bill fir the better government of
the metropolis, and after that it would be proposed to
go into committee of supply. (Hear, hear.)
