THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 4, 1863.

The reverse, however, appears to be the case, for
Lord SHAFTESBURY has already explained all the
circumstances of the case. The commissioners were
visiting Lincoln when they received information
from a person who waited upon them at their
hotel. They did not, however, as stated, make any
report on his statements, but they simply suggested
an inquiry. In consequence of that, in the next
visit made in their ordinary circuit two
other commissioners visited the asylum, and
spent two days there, and carefully inquired
into the particulars they had heard, and also into
serious statements that had been made by one of
the visiting physicians, and upon this personal
evidence they founded their report to the Board,
which was in due time sent to the Governors.
This version of the occurrence is certainly in strik-
ing contrast to Mr. HAMILTON'S observation that

he Commissioners based their inquiry " on the

information of concealed authority, and clandes-
tinely investigated." Likewise, there is a great
difference between the second visit of the Commis-
sioners taking place in the ordinary routine of their
duties, and not, as was declared, in consequence of

,he " careless and indiscreet conduct of their col-

leagues." Lord SHAFTESBURY was right in stating
that a very grave question is involved in this
comparison of the degree in which public officers
have discharged their duties. Too much care and
caution cannot be exercised in making charges
against those engaged in the performance of their
duty. Lord SHAFTESBURY declares that, as Chairman

of the Commissioners of Lunacy, he is naturally
anxious for their good repute, " on which, indeed,
their public utility entirely depends." This is true ;

and it must be very satisfactory to the noble lord
that he has been able to make so clear a statement,
and exculpate so completely the Commissioners,
who were charged with a dereliction of their
duty. It is a well known fact that from
disputes and misunderstandings at public insti-
tutions many Valuable hints are often given, and in
the end important benefits are derived by those
who are in most need of them. It does not appear
that anything very seriously wrong was discovered,
bul neither dues it appear that all was right in the
management of the affairs in the asylum alluded to
at the period under discussion. The conclusion ar-
rived at, then, is that, in consequence of some state-
ment, advantages accrued to the institution as re-
garded its internal arrangements. Was not this
result a desirable one, and did not the agents em-
ployed fulfil the purpose for which their body was
organised. It is an evident fact that all these in-
quiries are more or less inconvenient and unpala-
table, under the most flattering and favourable cir-
cumstances, but they were not organised with a
view to convenience, but for the general good of the
sufferers. It is known that the Lunacy Commis-
sioners have been the means of conferring many
great and good services on the most afflicted por-
tion of the community, and therefore it is not in
accordance with the opinion that is generally en-
tertained of their services that these strictures are
made, and there is no doubt that public opinion will
ratify the declaration so emhatically put forth by
their respected Chairman.

Mr. Disraeli seems to have induced several of the
Conservative members to follow him in the vote for
the Exhibition building. We find among them—Mr. Ad-
derley, Mr. Antrobus, Mr. H. Baring, Mr. Bathurst, Col.
Cole, Mr. Corrie, the Earl of Dalkeith, Yisct. Emley, Mr.
Hope, Mr. Kennard, Lord H. Lennox, Mr. Lygon, Mr.
Mainwaring, Sir S. Northcote, Sir F. Smith, Col. Sturt, Mr.
H. Shirt, Col. Taylor, Col. Vandeleur, Mr. Walter, Mr.
Whiteside, and Mr. Whitmore. Thus 22 out of the minority
of 121 were membsrs of the Opposition. The only liberals
of what is called the " advanced party" who voted for the
purchase of the building were—Mt% Baines, Mr. Clay. Mr.
J. R. Mills, Mr. E. Paget, Sir S. Peto, Mr. Roebuck,
Baron M. Rothschild, Mr. Seely, and Mr. Warner. In
opposition to the motion the great bulk of the Liberal party
were joined by such Conservatives as Mr. Bentinck, Mr.
Bramley-Moore, Mr. Butler-Johnstone, Lord R. Cecil, Mr.
Baillie Cochrane, Sir J. Elphinstone, Mr. Ferrand, Sir E.
Grogan, Sir W. Heathcote, Mr. Henley, M. Horsfall, Lord
Hotham, Mr. Laird, Lora G. Lennox, Mr. Macaulay, Lord
J. Manners, Lord Naas, Sir J. Pakington, Col. Patten, Mi.
Spooner, Lord Sianley, Mr. Stirling, Mr. Wapole, &c. Mr.
Bright voted against the purchase. Mr. Cobden appears to
have been absent.

THE EXHIBITION BUILDING.—We (Times) are
requested by Messrs. Kelk and Lucas to correct the im-
pression unfortunately created by the statements made in
the House of Commons on Thursday night, and which led
to the belief that they desired to take advantage of the
terms of their contract, and to refuse to remove the building
from the ground it occupies. They state that they eheerfully
and respectfully bow to the deci-ion of the house, and have
already made arrangements for beginning to pull down the
building on Monday next.

We have already stated that a bust of the late
Sir George Cornewall Lewis is to be placed in West-
minster Abbey. It is also intended to erect a more conspi-
cuous monument to his memory in his native county of
madnor. A considerable local subscription has been raised
for the purpose, and some of Sir G. Lewis's friends and ad-
mirers who are unconnected with the county have answered
the invitation of the committee by contributing to the
Mnd. The form and character of the monument will
neeesasarily depend on the amount of the subscrip-
tion, but it is determined that it is to be a suitable
structure in the open air, and in the immediate neighbour-
hood of Sir George Lewis's residence at Harpton. Local
associations fix and strengthen the memories which monu-
ments are designed to perpetuate. The record of Sir
George Lewis's merits and services, which might be almost
lost in a crowd of effigies and inscriptions, will be secure
from confusion and forgetfulness in the little Welsh county
where his family has resided for centuries. Subscriptions
are received at Messrs. Roberts and Lubbock's, and the
honorary secretary is Mr. R.l). Green Price, of 20, White-
hall-place.

CHARLES ALBERT FECHTER, the popular actor,
and now Lessee of the Lyceum, was born, says the
Lady's Newspaper of this morning, on October 23, 1824,
in a third floor of that curious little thoroughfare, inhabited
by jewellers and milliners, called Hanway-street, connect-
ing, in a crescent, Oxford -street and Tottenham-court-road.
His father, a Germ,an, was in the employ of a firm of
jewellers, and through change of work had to remove to
Paris, when little Charles Albert was only five or six years
old. Early in life he evinced a decided taste for painting
and the sister arts, which induced his father to apprentice
him to a sculptor. He, however, got soon tired of the shop,
and, attracted by the apparently ideal life of the stage,
resolved to become an actor. At the age of eighteen he
made his debut at the small theatre of the Salle Moliere, in
the Mari de la Veuve. From thence ho passed for a short
time to the Conservatoire, and subsequently engaged in a
travelling troupe, bent on a tour through Italy. The
speculation turned out not very lucrative; and, somewhat
disgusted with his theatrical career, Mr. Feehter, at the
end of a year, returned to Paris, and took once more to
sculpture. An offer to play subordinate roles at the Theatre
Franeais, brought him again on the stage, and after a six
months' engagement at the leading French establishment,
he went, in 1846, to Berlin. Here he met his first genuine
success, The journals of the Prussian metropolis got into
a high pitch of enthusiasm on his behalf, applying to him
the title of the philosophical actor. Returning to Paris, he
appeared, in 1847, at the Vaudeville ; then went for a
season to London—the revolution showing animosity to the
drama as well as to royalty--and coming back with Order
and Imperialism, played alternately at the Ambigu-
Comique, the Vari4tes, the Theatre Historique, and the
Theatre de la Porte St. Martin. From the latter he re-
moved again to the Vaudeville, and here achieved a bril-
liant success as Duval in the "Dame aux Caniiilias."
Afterwards came his brilliant succcssinLondon as Hamlet,
followed by lesser triumphs in Othello and lago, preceded
by BtlY Bias, and succeeded by Captain Delagarde in
,4 The Duke's blotto."

minutes' fighting.
The blockading squadron has sunk the steamer
Herald of Charleston; The fate of the crew is un-
known. Broadsides were fired at the vessel till she
sunk. It is stated that in future the fleet will not
wait to capture, but will fire at blockade runners
till they sink or surrender. A steamer, supposed

also burnt the brig Umpire.
Admiral Foote is dying.

The reported fighting at Centreville is not con-
firmed, and it is denied that there is any Confederate
infantry force on this side of the Bull Run moun-

Ains.

Gen. Lee does not occupy Thoroughfare Gap, and
his army is not nearer Washington than the She-
nandoah Valley, although there is a Confederate
cavalry force at Middleburg, in the centre of Lon-
don Valley.
General Pleasanton attacked General Stuart',,
cavalry at Middleburg on the 21st, and reports that
he drove them all day capturing two pieces of artil-
lery and 60 prisoners.
The estimates of the Confederate forces messed
William's Port,
on the Upper Potomac at Hagers-
town, Sbarpsburg, and around Antietam, and Fre-
derick, vary from 40,000 to 80,000 men. Gee. Ewell
is said to be fortifying Hagerstown. The Confede-
rates have erected a substantial bridge across the
Potomac at Williamsport, and a pontoon bridge at
Shepherdstown. They have destroyed all the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad bridges from Harper's
Ferry to Cumberland.
The apprehensions of an attack on Baltimore have
not abated. Earthworks are erected around the

the streets.
Federal militia continue to be sent there.
General Lee officially reports on the 15th inst.
that General Ewell's division successfully stormed
the entrenchments of Winchester.
Milroy's defeat appears to have been disastrous,

NEW YORK, JUNE 23, Evening.
The Confederates have re-occupied Chambers-
burg, and apprehensions of their advancing on
Harrisburg are renewed.
In consequence of the slaughter of negro troops
at Milliken's Bend, General Grant has threatened
to retaliate if coloured troops are executed when

captured.
General Johnstone is fortifying the east bank of
Big Black River.
The Confederates estimate their loss during Gen.
Grant's different attacks on Vicksburg at 6,000 men,
and the Federal losses at 40,000. They think that
Grant's present force, with the reinforcements
which he has received, does not exceed 60,000
•
men.

No fears are expressed of a want of provisions at
Vicksburg.
Advices from New Orleans to the 14th, repre-
sent the siege at Port Hudson to be progressing
favourably.

Southern journals assert that the Federal steamer
Essex had been
captured at Port Hudson, and
several gun-boats disabled, and that a battle

NEW YORK. JUNE 25, Evening.
(By telegraph to Halifax.)

The panic and apprehension caused by the Con-
federate invasion continue throughout Maryland
and Pennsylvania. The citizens from the border
are harrying to Harrisburg, and thousands of men
are working on entrenchments in Baltimore and
Pittsburg.
General Halleck has visited Baltimore and in
spected the defences.

This morning the Confederates were within 16
miles of Harrisburg, and were reported to have 10
regiments with artillery and cavalry in South
Mountain, beyond Gettysburg.
Lee's object in threatening various points in
Pennsylvania is still supposed to be to draw
Hooker's army from Washington.
Generals Lee and Longstree►, with 100,000 men,
were reported to have been at Winchester on Friday
last, and it is reported that Lee's whole army has
crossed into Maryland at Antietam, Shepherdstown,
and Williamsport.
On Sunday large Confederate trains were moving
north through Hagerstown, Martinsburg, and
Boonesboro'.

Rhode's Confederate division, 12,000 strong,
with 13 pieces of artillery, crossed at Shepherds-
town on Sunday. Half of them moved northward
on Tuesday, and the other half went to Williams-
port.

The Baltimore American says General Ewell.,is
advancing in the direction of Frederick.
General Hooker's army occupies the whole
Virginia side of the Potomac up to Harper's Ferry,
and it is supposed that General Hooker will cross
the river at the same fords where Lee entered
Maryland last year, and place himself between Lee
and Washington and Baltimore. The garrison at
Maryland heights now form the right wing of
Hooker's army.
Ewell's advance towards Frederick is supposed
to be to prevent the junction of Hooker with Har-
per's Ferry, but this junction is said to have been
accomplished.
The New Fork Herald thinks that General Lee's
forces will cut the different railroad lines and isolate
Maryland and Washington from communication
with the north and west, and that Lee, with his
main army, will occupy some central point between
Baltimore and Washington, and compel Hooker to
come out and fight, under pain of being isolated
from the east, north, and west.
20,000 of General Bragg's troops are reported to
have reinforced Richmond.
The Governor of New Jersey has recalled the
troops of that State from Pennsylvania. A dispute
with the Governor of Pennsylvania, and the fact
that the Jersey troops were abused as copperheads,
caused him to this step.
General Milroy is reported to be superseded.
The Federals were to commence firing.shot into
Vicksburg on the 20th.
Southern journals report that a heavy engage-
ment was progressing on the 21st between the Con-
federate cavalry and the Federals at Big Black

Bridge.
General Banks officially reports on the 14th that
he had established batteries within 350 yards of
Port Hudson. After a vigorous cannonade he
summoned the garrison to surrender. The Con-
federates having refused, an assault was made,
and General Banks gained and held a position
within 50 to 100 yards of the enemy's works. Gen.
Banks is confident of success.
The reported capture of the steamer Essex is
denied.

Advices from Havanna state that it was rumoured
there that an engagement occurred on the 3d be•
tween the Alabama and the Vanderbilt, off Santa
Cruz.

The privateer Tacony continues her depredations
off Nantucket. Since the 12th she has burned 17
vessels, among which were the ship Byzantium,
from London for New York, and the barque Good-
speed, from Londonderry for New York.
Despatches just received from Baltimore assert
that General Lee's programme is to march rapidly
to Harrisburg and on to Philadelphia. There are
rumours that Lee, after crossing the Potomac,
recrossed it at a point below so as to bring a portion
of his forces between Hooker and Washington.

MEXICO.

NEW YORK, JUNE 23.

Ad vices received here from Mexico via San Fran-
cisco to the 24th, state that Juarez had taken the
command of the army. It was supposed that
Juarez would flood the valley on the approach of
the French.

JUNE 25.

Advices from Vera Cruz to the 2d inst. state
that Marqut z with 7,000 men, and Gen. Bazaine
with 9,000 men, were marching on Mexico by dif-
ferent routes. Ortega and the other generals cap.
tured at Puebla had escaped from Orizba.

The Berliner Boreenzeitung of this evening says :
" The Prussian Government has been informed by
Russia that the reply to the notes of the three
Powers will in its essential points assent to their
proposals, especially with reference to the assembly
of a congress. The wishes of Austria will be espe-
cially regarded, while those of England, which are
of a more advanced character, will not be conceded."

The Neue Preussische (Kreuz) Zeitung of to-day
says—" The King will leave Carlsbad upon the
18th inst. for Garstein. His Majesty's state of
health is satisfactory. Herr Von Bismark Schon-
hausen has left Carlsbad."

THE POLISH INSURRECTION,

ST. PETERSBURG, JUNE 28.

Another address from General Mouravieff to the
peasantry has been pub.ished. He points out to
them that they are no longer bound to the nobility,
and that they should cease to perform services which
the law no longer requires. He calls to their mind
that the Emperor alone gave them their freedom,
that the nobility were opposed to it. Again, one
of General Mouravieff's subordinate generals, the
military governor of Volhynia, having heard that
the Polish language was much spoken, and even
written in some of the public offices, issued an order
with instructions to the officials never to give a
reply or accept a petition in the Polish language,

in order not to " support certain Polish claims on
the country."

BROMBERG, JULY 4.
The Bromberger Zatung of to-day publishes the
following news from Warsaw, to the 2d inst.:—

"The National Government has sent a declara-

ion to the Cabinets of Paris and London, stating
hat it agrees to a conference being held on condi-

tion of the conclusion of an armistice and the ad-
mittance to the Conference of a representative of the
National Government.

"The National Government farther stipulates
that a Diet be convoked for Congress Poland and
the Western provinces, under the guarantee of
Europe and the protection of a Polish national

army."

BRODY, JULY 3.
Horodinski's detachment has been cut up inside
Radziwilow.

He was repulsed before Wysocki appeared.
Horodinski fell in the market-place.
Wysocki is in Galicia, and Minniewski has not
crossed the frontier.
A third battle is expected. Radziwilow has been
deserted by the officials, who are at Brody.

FRANCE.

PARIS, JULY 3.

The Pays publishes an article, signed by the
secretary of the paper, whic'h says—" We are
already authorised to consider the acceptance of the
propositions of the three Powers by Russia as cer-
tain. The project of a conference and the six
points will serve as the bases of the arrangement
which the three Powers have submitted."

The Pays states that the Emperor will preside at
a cabinet council on Tuesday next, and proceed the
following day to Vichy.

PARIS, JULY 4.

A report to the Emperor by M. Rouher, the
President of the Council of State, and the approval
of its object by his Majesty, have been published

to-day.
The report dwells upon the necessity of develop
ing professional instruction, and recommends the
establishment of a commission to discuss the most
effectual means of attaining this result.
Le Pays announces that the Emperor will return
on Monday to Paris, thence to proceed onward at

POLAND.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

CRACOW, June 28.

I send you a translation of an order issued by
the War-office at Warsaw, which strikingly illus-
trates the unpopularity of the Russian Government
in Poland, even among its own employes:—
"WARSAW, June 3 (15), 1863.

" The President of the Commission for Home
Affairs has already twice been informed, by order
of the Grand Duke Constantine, that the local
authorities, in their reports to the civil governors
describing events which have occurred in thei►
districts, purposely conceal abuses perpetrated by
the insurgent bands, or give them names opposed
to official custom, and entitle them parties of in
surgents. They also eedeavour to display in the
most unfavourable light the smallest disorders
which our Russian troops sometimes commit, and
which they cannot avoid on a territory in rebellion.
" These hostile reports appear in foreign rebel
lions newspapers before they come to the know-
ledge of his Highness, and undoubtedly serve to pro-
mote agitation. Thus they even describe such trifling
facts as the beating or abusing of a peasant by a
soldier, and give the details of every act of military
violence, which is rendered *necessary while rebels
are being driven from villages and estates; they
count the wounds of slain rebels, and add that
they were robbed and stripped. At the same time,
and involuntarily, as it were, they add that certain
unknown persons were found hanged, thus insinuat
ing that they had been hanged by the troops!'

Meanwhile various atrocities committed by the
bands are reported by the military authorities.
Thus in one place they cut a living Cossack to
pieces. In another they buried a colonist with his
bead downwards, and although the troops imme-
diately dug him out again, the unfortunate man was
choked. In a third a dismissed soldier was long
tortured, and then, atter nailing his passport to his
chest with four nails, they hanged him. Many
were slowly strangled with ropes, or cut down from
the gallows before they died, in order to prolong
their tortures. Often they hanged whole families,
not excepting old men, women, and children. •It is
difficult to quote all the examples of this kind. And
yet, notwithstanding the circulars addressed to
them, the civil authorities do not report to the
governors any of the above-named outrages, whereby
they openly show favour to the insurrection, and a
disposition hostile to the Government.
In informing you of this I entrust you with the
duty of taking the necessary steps for preventing
these evils in future. All the civil and military
employ es should be informed that if they conceal the
outrages of the rebels, or act in any other way in a
spirit hostile to the Government, they shall be dis-
missed the service, and brought before court• mar-
tial.

The meaning of the above order is obviously to
threaten employ es with dismiesal and arrest if they
do not in future invent atrocities on the part of the
insurgents (for which purpose a list of outrages that
no one ever before heard of, is given without date,
place, or authority) and suppress newsof real crimes
committed by the Russian troops, which rest on the
authority of numerous witnesses, and have never
yet been categorically denied.

Prince Christian, now Heir to the Crown o

Denmark.

The Dagbladet of the Ist inst.—just now come
to hand—while regretting the death of H.R.H.
the late Hereditary Prince Frederick Ferdinand of
Denmark, refers with very evident satisfaction to
the fact that by his death H.R.H. the Prince Chris
tian of Denmark, the Father of H.R.H. the Prin-
cess (Alexandra) of Wales, and of his Majesty
George 1., King of Greece, has become the next
heir to the throne of Denmark.

AWKWARD SOUVENIRS !--Apropos to Mr. Roe-
buck's recent complimentary allusions to the French
Emperor, a cruelly faithful remembrancer, in a weekly con-
temporary, observes—" I recollect the kind of screech he
gave when, after the return of the House of Commons from
the opening of Cherbourg, he cried, speaking of the salu-
tations of the Emperor of the French to the Queen of Eng-
land, When I saw his perjured lips touch her hallowed
cheek ;' and afterwards I' heard him make another speech
in the House of Commons upon the subject—that is, the
Emperor of the French and his character, and he concluded
it by exclaiming, We once had a Napoleon le Grand, we
have now got a Napoleon le Petit ;' but he had scarcely
resumed his seat, amidst an indignant cry from the House,
when) jumping up again as though alarmed 'at the noise
that e'en himself had made,' he exclaimed, 'Ni, I with-
draw that expression.' "

HER MAJESTY.

WINDSOR CASTLE, July 3.

Her Majesty, accompanied by the Quee❑ of
Prussia and their Royal Highnesses Princess Louise
and Princess Beatrice, drove out yesterday after-
noon in a carriage and four, attended by Col. Hon.
A. Hardinge on horseback.

Her Royal Highness Princess Helena, attended
by Lady Caroline Barrington, returned to London.
His Royal Highness Prince Leopold took a short
walk to-day.

The Queen of Prussia, attended by the Countess
Schlenbourg, Countess Schwerin, Count de Boos
Waldeck, and Dr. Brandis, left the Castle at 20
minutes past 3 o'clock for London. Lord Camoys
and Col. Hon. A. Hardinge also attended her
