TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR, —On Monday evening last, about eight o'clock, the
northern part of the heavens was illuminated with the
auroral lights. Streamers were observed at times shoot-
iYg up near to Ursa Major. The wind during the even-
ing was blowing fresh from the S.S.W. Passing clouds
occasionally obscured the scene ; but about half-past
nine the atmosphere became quite free from clouds, when
suddenly a brilliant stream of electric light rose from
the S.W. horizon, stretching itself to the N.E. as far as
the zodiacal sign Taurus, the end of it pointing near the
planet Saturn ; the stars of the first magnitude were
rendered invisible by its brilliancy, but several shooting
stars were observed during the time. Its altitude from
the earth was not more than three miles. Shortly after
ten o'clock it entirely disappeared, and the sky assumed
its wonted appearance, thickly bespangled with its in-
numerable occupants. Several persons in various parts
of the town where arrested at the unusual sight, with
inquiries "What is it the sign of?" &c. A similar ap-
pearance in the heavens occurred on the 3d of Decem-
ber, 1845, and again on the 19th of March, 1847. The
wind since the equinoctial gales have prevailed from the
equator, and the thermometer ranging from 50 to 60
degrees of heat, rather unusual at this period of the year,
and it has all the appearance of a continuance.

On Friday evening, about six o'clock, a sharp tempest
passed over this place ; the lightning was extremely
vivid, accompanied with a heavy shower of rain. The
air is often electrical at night with lightning. On Thurs-
day evening, at half-past five o'clock, the planet Venus
will be in conjunction with Jupiter in the tropic of Cap-
ricorn, in the S.W. part of the horizon. Whether the
above phenomenon is viewed as ominous in a political
sense remains for the curious to conjecture.
I remain, your obedient servant.

THE ARMY.

CHATHAM, Nov. I.—Yesterday six prisoners were
tried by court-martial at Chatham garrison for desertion
and making away with their regimental necessaries,
which appears to be a crime increasing in the army, and
which must be stopped by the severest punishment
allowed by the Mutiny Act. The following are the
names of the prisoners and the corps they belong to :
Private P. J. Jones, 37th ; private James Daniels,
43d ; private William Evans and B. Magean, 38th
Foot ; private R. M'Cloud, 74th Highlanders ; private
Thomas Spear, 96th. The court found all the prisoners
guilty. Some of them had been tried for desertion
before. The issue of these trials has not yet transpired.
Gunner J. M`Grath, of the Royal Artillery, was also
tried by the same court, for being found asleep on
stable picket at Brompton. He was found guilty.
Colonel J. J. Louth, of the 38th Regiment, was presi-
dent of the court.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAIr EVENING, AUGUST 18, 1853

Two gentlemen, one Mr. Kisch, of No. 25, Golden-
square, and the other Mr. Myers, of the Mile-end-road,
corroborated in every respect the statement of Mr. Bru-
me% and swore positively to the defendant's identity.
The defendant stiffly denied that he was the man, and
thought it a hard case that he should have been taken
from his employment.
Mr. Norton told him that if he was not the guilty man
he could very easily establish his innocence, and asked
if he had any witnesses in attendance ?
The defendant replied that he had no witnesses, for
that his wife, who was far advanced in pregnancy, had
refused to attend.

Saunders, the summoning officer, said he had seen the
defendant's wife when he went to serve the summons on
him, and from what she admitted to him he had no doubt
whatever the defendant was the person who had com-
mitted the assault.
Mr. Norton felt perfectly satisfied on the subject.
The defendant was, he had no doubt, one of those
cowardly, unmanly fellows who thought he had a perfect
right to knock about his wife, even though she might
be in an advanced state of pregnancy, as he thought
proper. His offence was a gross outrage towards the
public and his wife, and for it he must pay a penalty of
31., or in default to stand committed to prison for six
weeks.

SPAIN.

Our accounts from Madrid are of the 12th inst.
An officer on half-pay had, two Jays previously,
printed and clandestinely circulated a protest

against the royal decree comirmiug the railway

and seizing the press from which the copies of the
protest was struck off, and the officer was expelled

Reports were current at La Gran:ja, of an insur-
rection, and of numerous arrests at 11fadrid, which
were totally unfounded.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 17.
His Royal Highness Prince Adalbert, Lord High
Admiral of the Prussian navy, arrived at this port yes-
terday evening. Commodore Schroeder and the Consul,
M. Vandenbergh, went to the railway terminus to re-
ceive the gallant Prince, who accompanied Commodore
Schroeder on board the Gefion, 41, at Spithead. No
salutes or other ceremonies were observed by his Royal
Highness's express wishes. This morning, at nine
o'clock, the corvette Amazone saluted the flag of the
Royal Admiral with 21 guns.
The Diligence transport, in command of Lieutenant
Joseph H. Marryat, of the Phcenix screw-sloop, arrived
at Spithead this morning from Commander H. Inglefield's
expedition to the Arctic regions with stores and supplies
for Sir Edward Belcher's squadron in search of Captain
Sir John Franklin and party. The Diligence has brought
home dispatches for the Admiralty, and letters from the
Phcenix, and the crew of the Whaler Rose, of Hull,
which has been wrecked and entirely disabled by being
nipped in the ice during a gale of wind in Melville Bay.
This is the cause of the Diligence being sent home. She
left Disco Island on the 27th ult. The Phcenix had
sailed thence on the 13th ult. for Lancaster Sound, vid
Melville Bay, which was pronounced perfectly clear of
ice. Commander Inglefield took the transport Breadal-
bane on with him to Beechy Island, but he had no com-
munication with Sir Edward Belcher's, or any of the
other searching expeditions, up to the date of the Dili-
gence being detached by him for England.
We learn by letters from the Coast of Africa of the
death of Mr. George H. Burnaby, mate, R.N., of her
Majesty's steamer Polyphemus, Commander C. G. Phil-
lips, who was accidentally drowned at Fernando Po, on
the 2d of June.

The Ajax, 53 (screw), Captain Quin, left Spithead
last night fur Devonport, to be paid off, and re-com-
missioned.

The Hogue, 60 (screw), Captain Ramsay, left to-day
for Kingstown, to receive the Queen, on arrival from
Holyhead, on her Majesty's visit to üblin.
The Terrible, 21, paddle-frigate, Captain M'Cleverty,
has gone to Falmouth, to endeavour to complete her
complement.
The Vulcan, 6, screw troop-transport, Commander
Von Donop, is under orders for Barbadoes, with Royal
Artillery.

There are no orders down this morning for any
movements in the fleet other than those enumerated
above.

The Conflict, screw steam-sloop, which took the ground
yesterday, while making a trial trip with the bomerang
screw, floated and got off at nine o'clock last evening,
and anchored at Spithead for the night. She com-
pleted her trial this morning, and came into harbour at
one o'clock.

The Banshee steam-vessel went out of harbour this
morning, and anchored at Spithead to await orders.
The Tribune, 30, Captain the Hon. S. T. Carnegie,
will be docked on Thursday for repairs.

tion. The balance-sheet, prepared by Messrs. George

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT, THIS DAY.

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Platt and Mr. Justice Talfourd.)
THE QUEEN V. MAJOR BERESFORD.-TIIE
DERBY ELECTION.

In this case, which has created so much interest
abroad, a true bill was yesterday found for misdemean-
our against Major Beresford, M.P., and several other
persons, fur an offence, arising out of what took place at
the Derby election in 1852.
At the sitting of the Court this morning,
Mr. Bodkin, adverting to the above bill, remarked
that the indictment extended to a very great length, and
his clients, who were the defendants, had not had time
to read it. They therefore did not exactly know the
nature of the charge that was preferred against them,
and they were on that account anxious to have the case
prepared. They were prepared to enter into recognisances
to appear at the next session, by which time they would
have ascertained the precise nature of the charge, and
be ready to answer it.
The application was agreed to, and the bail fixed at
801. each, with two sureties of 401. each.

THE CAMP AT CHOBBAM COMMON.

With yesterday's proceedings closed the duties of the
second division of the British forces at the camp. The

troops have passed through some hardships, have
achieved many bloodless laurels, and won the respect
and admiration of many thousands who, but for these
field-days of Chobham, would never have known how
fields were won or battles lost. The colours of the con-

_ .
quering regiments may bear no records of their gallant
deeds and noble daring. The retreats at Catlin's valley,

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

JUDGES' CHAMBERS.—Ana. 17.
Mr. Justice Williams, the vacation judge, sat at
chamber to-day, and disposed of a good deal of business.
COUTTS V. RICEARD DUNN.
The defendent, Richard Dunn, was on Tuesday
brought up on a writ of habeas corpus, from
Whitecross-
street Prison, and committed to the custody of the
keeper of the Queen's Prison, there to remain until the
expiration of the judgment pronounced by the Insol-
vent Debtors' Court on the opposition of Miss Burdett
Coutts. On Saturday the necessary documents were
lodged at the Sheriffs' Office—a discharge as to one
action, and the adjudication as to the debt due to Miss
Burdett Coutts.
It will be remembered that the defendant is in custody
for the costs oan action he brought against Miss Bur-
dett Coutts, and Mr. Commissioner Law held that the
costs had been fraudulently incurred, and pronounced a
judgment of ten months from the vesting order made on
24th June.
Mr. Justice Williams signed the commitment, and
the defendant, without going before him, was transferred
and removed in custody to the Queen's Prison, to un-
dergo the judgment pronounced.

Two gentlemen, one Mr. Kisch, of No. 25, Golden-
square, and the other Mr. Myers, of the Mile-end-road,
corroborated in every respect the statement of Mr. Bru-
mell, and swore positively to the defendant's identity.
The defendant stiffly denied that he was the man, and
thought it a hard case that he should have been taken

3/., or in default to stand committed to prison for six
weeks.

ROCHDALE, Aug. 15.—There has been a good demand
for low-priced flannels ; but those of a finer quality
have not been much in request. In the wool market
there is little change, and the manufacturers continue
to buy very sparingly. There is a good demand for
English wools, varying from 14d. to 16d. per lb. ; and
the dealers have small stooks on hand of that quality of
wool.

CRICKET.

THE GRAND CRICKET WEEK AT CANT
BURY.—KENT v. ENGLAND.
This singular match was resumed on Tuesday swill°
when the " one-sidedness" which characterised the
day's play was continued ; for England, who had open
the proceedings on Monday, and at the close of thtita
showed a score of 266, with the loss of seven wicks
only, now increased that amount to 324.
Kent now took the bat, but, as the score will indicat
would appear to have become disheartened by the extl,
ordinary success of their opponents in their batting. 4
that Kent could accomplish was 47, and so they we
277 behind England. And at this point the play
arrested by the rain, which continued to pour down
many hours. The score, therefore, at the conclusion
the second day, stood as follows :

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 17.
His Royal Highness Prince Adalbert, Lord High
Admiral of the Prussian navy, arrived at this port yes-
terday evening. Commodore Schroeder and the Consul,
M. Vandenbergh, went to the railway terminus to re-
ceive the gallant Prince, who accompanied Commodore
Schroeder on board the Gefion, 41, at Spithead. No
salutes or other ceremonies were observed by his Royal
Highness's express wishes. This morning, at nine
o'clock, the corvette Amazone saluted the flag of the
Royal Admiral with 21 guns.
The Diligence transport, in command of Lieutenant
Joseph H. Marryat, of the Phcenix screw-sloop, arrived
at Spithead this morning from Commander H. Inglefield's
expedition to the Arctic regions with stores and supplies
for Sir Edward Belcher 's squadron in search of Captain
Sir John Franklin and party. The Diligence has brought
home dispatches for the Admiralty, and letters from the
Phoenix, and the crew of the Whaler Rose, of Hull,
which has been wrecked and entirely disabled by being
nipped in the ice during a gale of wind in Melville Bay.
This is the cause of the Diligence being sent home. She
left Disco Island on the 27th ult. The Phcenix had
sailed thence on the 13th ult. for Lancaster Sound, vice
Melville Bay, which was pronounced perfectly clear of
ice. Commander Inglefield took the transport Breadal-
bane on with him to Beechy Island, but he had no com-
munication with Sir Edward Belcher's, or any of the
other searching expeditions, up to the date of the Dili-
gence being detached by him for England.
We learn ,by letters from the Coast of Africa of the
death of Mr. George H. Burnaby, mate, R.N., of her
Majesty's steamer Polyphemus, Commander C. G. Phil-
lips, who was accidentally drowned at Fernando Po, on
the 2d of June.

The Ajax, 58 (screw), Captain Quin, left Spithead
last night for Devonport, to be paid off, and re-com-
missioned.

The Hogue, 60 (screw), Captain Ramsay, left to-day
for Kingstown, to receive the Queen, on arrival from
Holyhead, on her Majesty's visit to Dublin.
The Terrible, 21, paddle-frigate, Captain M'Cleverty,
has gone to Falmouth, to endeavour to complete her
complement.
The Vulcan, 6, screw troop-transport, Commander
Von Donop, is under orders for Barbadoes, with Royal
Artillery.
There are no orders down this morning for any
movements in the fleet other than those enumerated
above.

The Conflict, screw steam-sloop, which took the ground
yesterday, while making a trial trip with the bomerang
screw, floated and got off at nine o'clock last evening,
and anchored at Spithead for the night. She com-
pleted her trial this morning, and came into harbour at
one o'clock.

The Banshee steam-vessel went out of harbour this
morning, and anchored at Spithead to await orders.
The Tribune, 30, Captain the Hon. S. T. Carnegie,
will be docked on Thursday for repairs.

JUDGES' CHAMBERS.—AUG. 17.
Mr. Justice Williams, the vacation judge, sat •at
chamber to-day, and disposed of a good deal of business.

MITTS V. RICKARD DUNN.
The defendent, Richard Dunn, was on Tuesday.
brought up on a writ of habeas corpus, from Whitecross-
street Prison, and committed to the custody of the
keeper of the Queen's Prison, there to remain until the
expiration of the judgment pronounced by the Insol-
vent Debtors' Court on the opposition of Miss Burdett
Coutts. On Saturday the necessary documents were
lodged at the Sheriffs' Office—a discharge as to one
action, and the adjudication as to the debt due to Miss
Burdett Coutts.
It will be remembered that the defendant is in custody,
for the costs of an action he brought against Miss Bur-
dett Coutts, and Mr. Commissioner Law held that the
costs had been fraudulently incurred, and pronounced a
judgment of ten months from the,vesting order made on
24th June.
Mr. Justice Williams signed the commitment, and
the defendant, without going before him, was transferred
and removed in custody to the Queen's Prison, to un-
dergo the judgment pronounced.

attempt has inspired being general, the punishment
rapidly inflicted upon seven of the guilty has produced
the most salutary effect. The Municipal and Provincial
Council of Milan has sent in addresses of devotedness.
The administration of Government goes on as usual."
Letters from Novara of the 10th, in the Opinione
of Turin, state that all the refugees living in the
communes adjoining the frontier of Lombardy have
have been ordered to remove either to Vercelli or
Casale, at their choice.
The Vienna Gazette of the 12th publishes the
contradiction addressed by the Government to the
Presse, which had accused the French Government
of having fomented the disturbances at Milan. The
Presse of the 10th contained an article in which it
said clearly enough that the French Government
had excited the outbreak. " That article ap-
peared," says the Gazette, "at a period when the
Presse could not have yet received any intelligence
from Milan, and the telegraphic dispatches in no
way justified such an offensive supposition. It re-
sults from this state of things, that this monstrous
accusation against a Government, on friendly terms
with Austria, only had birth in the imagination of
the editor of the .Presse, who must be made to
answer for it."

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY 9.30 A.Tif•
Further particulars of the loss of the ahgT;
steamer have come to hand this morning. Put
left Liverpool at 3 p.m. on Monday, with ah°ll4,
100 steerage and six or eight cabin passengers, aj.,l.e.
a large and valuable cargo, principally sugar.
proceeded safely until about 2.30 a.m. on Tuesdalt,
when she struck with great force on the rocks, e
a few perches north of the Bailey's Light. j-I`,l
engines were reversed, and she backed. off 01,1.;
sunk in about 20 minutes afterwards, leaving the
tops of her masts and about six feet of her fuel
above water. The boats, five in number, were Lt
out, and such was the rush to get into them that
three were swamped, and large numbers peris',„t,
The steamer Roscommon was near the place Y");

SHIPPING RETURNS.

On the motion of Mr. INGHAM, a return was or-
dered of the number and tonnage of ♦essels registered in
different ports of the kingdom, on 31st December, 1852 ;
also similar returns with regard to the colonies, &c.
LAW OF SETTLEMENT.
Mr. P. SCROPE wished to ask the Secretary of
State for the Home Department, whether it was the in-
tention of the Government to introduce, in the course of
the present session, any measure for the alteration or
abolition of the Law of Settlement ?
Lord PALMERSTON said this question, as his hon.
friend was well aware, was one of great difficulty and
perplexity, and upon which numerous persons had en-
tertained very different opinions. It was besides one of
great importance, and the attention of the Government
would be anxiously directed to it, though at present he
could not undertake to say whether any bill would be
brought in this Session or not.

The Questor (Director of Police) at Turin, in
compliance with directions received from the Mi-

nister of the Interior, has issued a notice, calling
upon all the political emigrants now in that capital,
to present themselves within two days before the
police, to deliver up their old permis de sejour, and.
receive new ones, in case they can prove their good
conduct and sufficient means of livelihood. More-
over, no emigrant shall leave the commune in
which he lives without a written permission. Any
emigrant removing from one lodging to another in
the same commune must inform the police of the
fact 'within twenty-four hours. Transgressors of
these rules are liable to arrest, and even to ex-
pulsion from the State. Similar precautions have
been also adopted by the Questor of Genoa.
In its sitting of the 11th the Piedmontese
Chamber of Deputies concluded the discussion of
the bill on the personal and furniture tax, and
voted it by 79 votes to 47. It also voted, by a
majority of 108 to 3, a bill authorising the Govern-
ment to levy 250 sailors for the royal navy. In the
Senate, the bill for the issue of two millions of
francs rents on the public debt, was passed by 43
votes to 6. Three bills were afterwards brought
in, viz., Ist, for the better regulation of bills of
exchange, and bills to order upon persons not con-
cerned in trade ; 3 dly, for the re-organization of
the Chambers of Commerce ; 2dly, for the cession
of certain dominial property to the town of Novara.
The Ticini Gazette states that the Government
of that canton has consented to pay a pension of
about 1,500 f. each for three years to the Lombard
Capuchins who have been expelled from their con-
vent. A similar pension is granted to the Sardi-
nian monks of the same convent.
The Pope, on Candlemas-day (the 2d), made,
according to usage, a solemn distribution of conse-
crated wax candles amongst different Sovereigns.
The loly Father set apart one for her Majesty the
Empress of the French, although he had not re-
ceived the definitive news of her accession.
