THE RUSSIAN SQUADRON.
PLYMOUTH, MAY 17.

The Russian squadron, under Rear-Admiral Les-
sofsky, with the remains of the late Czarewitch,
arrived and anchored in Plymouth Sound at 11 a.m.
to-day. Flags were hoisted half-mast high in her
Majesty's ships in commission, on the forts, and at
all the public departments. The Liverpool screw
frigate, as the senior ship in the Sound, fired a
salute of 21minute guns. The Port Admiral's ship
Royal Adelaide also gave a similar salute.

O'Malley Irwin v. Grey, Bart,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sra,—The reports of the above case correctly state that
counsel on behalf of Sir George Grey, the defendant, alleges
" Mr. O'Malley Irwin had made a mistake and had set it
down in the wrong court ;" but altogether omits that the
plaintiff (myself) pressed upon the Court that "it was their
own officers and not the plaintiff who had set it down,—
that the officer of the Court below declined to do so ; and
that if those officers were not competent and efficient to dis-
charge their duties, it was the duty of the Court to have
them removed, and to have competent and efficient officers
appointed."

I trust to your usual impartiality to insert this letter, not
only in fairness to myself, but because I think it is
important, to a degree, which does not admit of ex-
aggeration to the administration of justice throughout
the United Kingdom ; more especially as the policy of
procrastination, so long adopted in this case on behalf of
the defendant, cannot eventually deprive me of my con-
stitutional right of appeal to a higher Court from a judg-
ment of the Court below, which is not considered satisfac-
tory by my legal advisers.—l have the honour to be your
obedient servant, GEORGE O'MALLEY IRWIN.

NEWCASTLE-UNDER-LYME

Mr. W. Jackson, the sitting Liberal member for
this borough, has accepted an invitation to contest
South Derbyshire at the next election. In an ad-
dress to his constituents announcing his retirement
from the representation of Newcastle at the dissolu-
tion of Parliament the hon. gentleman says:—" To
sever a connection which has continued uninterrup-
tedly for 18 years causes me much regret. I have,
however, received a requisition from a large and im-
portant constituency, with which my personal inte-
rests are most closely connected, of so pressing a
character that I cannot consistently with• my
duty decline to accept it." It is not yet known who
will come forward as Mr. Jackson's successor, but
it is understood that the leaders of the Liberal party
_ _

have a suitable candidate in view. The only Liberal
candidate at present in the field is Mr. W. S. Allen,
a gentleman of advanced views. The Conservative
Programme is not yet made known, but it is hinted
that there will be more than one Conservative can-
didate brought forward, and that the contest will
be a severe one.
London, England, 1865-05-17

be shortly, the papers asked for would be found
in the appendix. The right hon, baronet
defended the system of competitive examination,
and showed that other opportunities presented
themselves in this country for men trained at the
Universities, but he declared that the Government
desired to widen the " field of selection" as far as
they could, and to choose their candidates quite
irrespective of the places where they receive their
education. This is a very wise resolve, and indeed
it must appear to many that there is no reason why
such a preference should be shown for those *ho
have been at the Universities, because the practical
qualities that are most in demand for service in
India are not those which are most called forth by
a classical education, and one of the chief advan-
tages
.of the great demand for civil servants
in our Eastern Empire is that it throws
open chances for the large number of
young men who must fight their own
way in the world, and whose families can
afford them no assistance by influence or otherwise
when once they have provided them with a good
education. Many persons will adhere to their old
prejudices and peculiarities, but the general verdict
of public opinion will be in favour of the principles
laid down by Sir C. WOOD, when he said that " our
object is to go into the world and get well-educated
young men wherever they are to be found, no mat-
ter where or in what manner their education has
been acquired." The right hon. baronet displayed
more wisdom and foresight in his speech last night
than he of ten does when he discourses upon Indian
topics. He too often exhibits a dogged obstinacy and
a reluctance to follow the path of progress, which
tend greatly to mar his success and militate
against the influence he should possess in his arduous
and responsible position. In so important a case as
the competitive examination of civil servants for
India, it is most satisfactory to find, that he enter-
tains liberal and comprehensive views, that he
eschews the conventional dogmas of prejudice,
and advocates a course in conformity with
that bent of mind which is one of the chief
characteristics and distinctive features of the pre-
sent age. English society can furnish plenty of re-
cruits to swell the ranks of any service abroad,
without confining itself to narrow limits ; and the
statesmen who realise this fact and recognise this
truth have at all events made some progress in their
study of the national character and the development
of the national resources.
London, England, 1865-05-17

Colonies whether there was official confirmation of the re-
port contained in yesterday's African intelligence, to the
effect that a fresh war had broken out among the tribes
near Lagos, and that British troops had taken part in that
war ; and, if so, whether such interference had taken place
by order, or with permission, of the British Govern-
ment ?

Mr. OARDWELL said he had received official confir-
mation of the report:referred to, not, however, the breaking
out of a new war, but the termination of the old one. It
was true British troops had taken part in the action, but
orders to that effect had not been sent out by the Govern-
ment. The British troops had acted with great bravery,
and not a single life of any person in her Majesty's service
had been lost. The Governor justified the steps he took
on the ground of self-defence. Ho should have great
pleasure in laying the paper on the table.
THE BRITISH MUSEUM.

Mr. IL SEYMOUR asked the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer when he would bring on his scheme for the en-
largement of the British Museum ; and, if it would be
before members began to separate, in anticipation of the
general election.
Mr. W. COWPER said he was not able to say when the
estimates would be ready relative to the subject mentioned
by the hon. gentleman, but no time would be lost in get-
ting them forward.
Mr. SEYMOUR said he should like to know whether it
was intended to separate the natural history collection and
place it at Kensington ? (Hear, hear.)
Mr. COWPER said the building for the natural history
collection would be placed upon the ground purchased for
that purpose at Kensington. (Hear, hear, and oh, oh.)
Mr. GREGORY said the information required by his
hon. friend and the house was, whether there would be an
opportunity afforded the house to express its opinion upon
the desirability of removing the natural history collection
from the British Museum to Kensington. (Hear hear.)
Mr. COWPER, in reply, said the ordinary course of
taking the opinion of the house would be upon voting the
estimates. He could not say when the plan would be de-
cided upon, so that he could not tell the exact time at
which the estimates would be submitted to Parliament.
Mr. A. SMITH asked when the bill, not the estimates,
would be submitted to the house ?
Mr. COWPER said the hon. gentleman had better give
notice of his question.
HELPS TO AUTHORS.

Mr. J. R. YORKE asked the Secretary to the Treasury,

with reference to a petition presented some time since by
Dr. Leone Levi, whether any conclusion had yet been ar
rived at by the Lords of the Treasury on the subject of
granting a subsidy to a work published by him, entitled

Annals of British Legislation."
Sir F. PEEL said it was not intended to propose any
grant to Parliament for the purpose of subsidising the work
in question.

GOLD FROM NEW ZEALAND.—Since the discovery
of gold in Otago in 1861 the yield has greatly in-
creased. Otago alone has exported 1,705,677 ozs. of the
precious metal. If we take £3l7s. 6d. as the local current
value of the ounce, we have an increase of £6,610,374 ss.
to the wealth of this province. Enormous as this is, these
mines are by no means exhausted. During the first quar-
ter of the present year, according to the authentic Govern-
ment returns, the yield has been 55,713 ounces.—New
Zealand Examiner.

THE PATENT LAWS.

Mr. COX asked the Attorney-General whether it was his
intention to bring in a bill this session to amend the laws
relating to patents?
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL did not think it would
be possible to proceed with the bill this session.

THE LEEDS APPOINTMENTS-MR. FERRAND'S
QUESTIONS.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he hoped the house
would allow him a few moments to make some further
explanation relative to the questions that were put to him
last night by the hon. gentleman opposite (Mr. Ferrand) with
respect to the resignation of Mr. Wilde and the appointment
of Mr. Welch. He had received a letter from Mr. Welch
which ought to have come to hand yesterday. That
gentleman stated that he received the appointment to the
Leeds District Court of Bankruptcy unconditionally—
(hear, hear)—and that at the time he was not in
a precarious state of health. With regard to Mr. Bethell, he
stated that he did not in the month of February, or at
any other time, attend at the Leeds District Court to make
the statement that he had been appointed. The officials
of the Court deniedall knowledge of the circumstance, and
they all stated they had no personal knowledge of Mr.
Bethell. (Hear, hear.) He had also read a letter from Mr.
Bethel], which was substantially to the same effect.

The favourite, getting the best of a favourable start, came
on with a slight lead of Venice, Lady Sykes, and Roderick
Random, who headed the others a couple of lengths. They
ran thus to the enclosure, where Lion gave way, and Venice
was left in possession of the lead, but being caught at the
Stand by Roderickßandom and Lady Sykes a splendid race
between the four ensued, which terminated in favour of
Roderick Random by half a length ; a neck divided the
second and third, and a head separated the third and fourth..
Holstein was fifth, close up. Red Earl and Wild Poppy
were the last two.

London, England, 1865-05-17

I find the following picture of it in Saunders' News-
lettcr this morning :-
64 The varying costumes on which the eye then rested
presented a strange sight to us Irish dwelling in the far
west—penitus Coto divisos orbe Britarinos. On the dais the
royal pageant was brilliant in the extreme ; the dark blue
riband of the noblest of the orders of chivalry appeared
to much advantage on the uniform of the Prince of
Wales. By his royal highness sat the Duke of Cambridge,
contrasting with it the light blue riband of St. Patrick.
Gorgeous was the full official attire of the Lord Lieutenant
set off by the diamond star and badge of the national order;
and most graceful and becoming the unique dress of Lady
Wodehouse, who wore an embroidered cloak of our own
emerald green, of the most exquisite workmanship and
taste. On the right stood the Knights of St. Patrick in
their gay blue ribbons and stars, and the prelates, who are
officers of the order, in more sombre but not less picturesque
garb. On the left were ranged the great officers of State,
the Lord Mayor, the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Justice of
Appeal, the Master of the Rolls, the three Chief Judges,
the Chief Secretary, the Commander of the Forces, the
Admiral Commanding-in-Chief, the Queen's Physicians,
the Provost, and the Privy Councillors, all in their full
robes or official dress. Beside the Lord-Lieutenant was
Ulster King-of-Arms ',in all the magnificence of mediaeval
heraldry, and behind the State chairs the Viceregal House-
hold and Staff, the Prince's suite (including Earl Spencer,
General Knollys, &c.), and the officers of the Royal yacht
formed a glittering background. Tho front circle below,
where the peeresses of Ireland were placed, presented an
unrivalled array of beauty and fashion. In the seats behind
them, among corporate gowns and military coats, and naval
uniforms, and knightly stars, and warlike clasps and medals
might be seen Parsees from Bombay and visitors from
China, Russia, and France, and from Sweden, Italy, and
Germany—many in the dresses of their respective countries,
and, as a grotesque but picturesque framing of the whole,
in long lines were drawn up the 78th Highlanders. Dublin
never before witnessed such a scene."

in the bureau of the Military Department," will not
fail to excite the greatest indignation throughout
Europe. Something more than empty words will
be needed before either threats or the bribes of
Washington will procure DAVIS'S extradition as a
felon from any civilised country. ANDREW JOHN-
SON and Mr. Secretary -STANTON have yet to learn
that the thunders of their displeasure passes very
harmlessly over older and more experienced rulers.
The only cause for anxiety is that the affairs
of a great nation should be in the hands of
such reckless and unskilled guides. Between
Melico on the one hand and Canada on the
other they are doing their best to embroil
their exhausted nation in a war with the two most
powerful countries of the old world. The Monroe
doctrine is being loudly urged, evidently with
reference to Mexico, and there are not wanting
other indications of the temper of the Washington
Cabinet towards MaximittAN and his new empire.
The random charges and demands of the Federal
press mast not be taken as the serious expression
of the feelings of a people, and the moderation and
calmness, which are so lacking on the American
side, should be amply supplied on our own ; but a
Government must be judged by official acts, and
when ANDREW JOHNSON denounces JEFFERSON
DAVIS as an assassin, and speaks of rebels and traitors
being harboured in Canada, not merely of their taking
refuge there, there is reason to fear that the bitter
experience of the past has not taught all it might
have done. " Treason" is the word continually ban-
died about, and JOHNSON does all he can to keep
up the excitement which the new England party
have been foremost in fomenting. He made an
address to a delegation from Pennsylvania in
which he repeated his previous assertion, that the
several penalties of the law would be inflicted on
the rebel leaders, and the Governor of South Caro-
lina and another Confederate, who have arrived at
Washington as prisoners, are to be tried on the
charge of treason. They might as well arraign the
whole Confederacy, since the resistance to
Northern supremacy was at one time unanimous
throughout the Southern States. It is to be regretted
that JOHNSON should have committed himself to the
proclamation against DAVIS. Surely there are some
wise and prudent men in his councils who can see
the folly and peril of the course which he is pursuing.
Can they not prevail upon him to moderate his
tones, and not render his his tenure of office so
disastrous to his country. Gen. EWELL and other
Southern Generals have addressed a letter to GRANT
expressing their abhorrence of the murder of LIN-
COLN, and, adding their indignant denial of com-
placity, the pointed declaration that they are no
allies of assassins either North or South. This we
may be sure is the unanimous feeling of the leading
Confederates, and their assurances will carry con-
viction, at least to Europe.

REVELATION of QUACKS and QUACKERY.
By D ETECTOR.

For notices of this startling work see the "Saturday Re-
view" of April 1, entitled "Quacks and Quackery ;" the
"Weekly Dispatch" of April 9, "The Quacks and their
Crimes ;" "The Sun" of April 12, "'Detector's' Broadside
on Quacks and Quackery."
GUIDE TO THE QUACKS OF LONDON.
A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in
the " lfedical Circular," with the signature of "Detector,"
has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. The
reader of " Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has
often read, in the pages of "Punch," of certain Quacks, frau-
dulent and noisome, who obtain mbney by false pretences,
and more money by menaces and extortion, from green
young men. For their names, which " Punch" would not
advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of
the advertising columns of low newspapers, amongst which
too many of Mr. " Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the
country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub-
lish the information that a nominal list of these miscreants,
with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning
them, needful to be known, will be found in the pamphb t
above referred to, which is entitled "Revelations of Quacks
and Quackery," and is to be had at the "Medical Circular "
Office, 20, King William-street, Strand, W.C.
The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel
rapacity, and the enormous gains of the obscene tribe of
Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to
the causation of suicide, are sully set forth in " Revelations
of Quacks and Qackery." And mark especlally that, as
aforesaid, the name; of the Quacks are published. The
pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di-
rectory, by consulting which every young man may know
where he may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed.
Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy "Revelations of
Quacks and Quackery." Its contents will astonish and amuse
you, white they invoke your indignation and disgust. 01
course you do not want it on account of its warnings for your
own sake, but you doubtless do for that of the many simple-
tons with whom you must be acquainted, ii your acquaint-
ance is large. " Who are tne Quacks that 'Punch' means ?"

This Institution is designed to supply a great national
want, viz., an asylum for the orphan daughters of sailors in
the Royal Navy and Merchants Service and of Marines.
It clothes, maintains, and educates them for domestic
service. and provides a home free of expense for former
inmates while out of situations, thus shielding them from the
temptations they might otherwise be exposed to.
Tne Committee earnestly APPEAL for CONTRIBU-
TIONS to meet the increasing applications through the
recent storms and loss •f life at sea, and to enable them
eventually to obtain premises more commensurate with the
necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000
sailors annually by casualties alone, without including those
who may perish by war.

MORTALITY AMONGST THE PEERS IN THE LATE
PARLIAMENT.—The total number of peers who have
died during the late Parliament amounts to 112, and their
united ages reach 7,583 years, giving an average of 67
years to each. The highest average age was—with the
archbishops, 80 ; next come the viscounts, 74 ; the bishops
show the third highest average, 73 ; the earls come next
with 68; the marquises average 66; and the dukes and
barons are the lowest, each with 64. The deceased Scotch
peers averaged 85 ; the Irish, 63.
THE PREROGATIVE OF PARDON.—Thd petitioners
for pardons in America meet with various luck.
Mr. F. B. Carpender, the artist, vouches for the truth of an
account he gives of the success of a young woman in ob-
taining from the late President a pardon for her only brother
aforeigner, who had enlisted and been induced by bad com-
pany to desert, was retaken, and was sentenced to be shot.
She had waited in vain for two whole days in hopes of
being admitted to the presence of the President, when she
accidentally came under the notice of a gentleman who had
a special appointment at the White House, and who, hear-
ing her story and perceiving the urgency of the ease, took
her in with him. Mr. Lincoln read her petition, studied
member
em4ebyu havexeoprreosfscioo comenngi.s
ofehser countenance, and then as his eye fell
upon her scanty but neat dress he exclaimed, "My poor
