The capture of those vessels
,has already been made public.
Their crews, who were in no way annoyed at their capture,
ware handed over to Sir Charles Napier to be disposed of:
The crew of the Carl ,lagnbs, in particular, expressed their
joy at being taken. It is said the object of bringing the prizes
to Hull is, if possible, to find a market for them. A fine
Russian barque, the Alexandra, which arrived here with a
cargo of linseed, has been sold.
TIIE RUSSIAN PRIZE AT CORK. —The Russian prize; brought
into Queenstown on Saturday by the Eliza, revenue cruiser,
is named the Argo, Captain Stannam, of Ulabourg, of Ula-
bourg, Finland, from Cuba, with a cargo of molasses, bound
to Queenstown, for orders. The cargo on board is British
Property, and, as the vessel sailed before the time specified
for the departure of Russian ships in order to exempt them
from seizure by British cruisers,, it is supposed that the Rus-
sian captain will he suffered to sail without detention, or
will, more probably, dispose of his ship in Queenstown. On
the rumour being circulated that a Russian prize was being
brought into harbour, crowds of people went down to the
beach to see an enemy's ship being brought into Cork har-
bour, a sight which has not been witnesS:d for over a period
of 40 years. The crew 'are at present on board, and the
revenue cruiser by which the Argo was boarded lies close
alongside.
THE STEAM GUNBOAT FLOTlLLA.—Yesterday,the naval
rendezvous on Tower-hill was besieged with young
men and lads anxious to obtain employment in the
steam gunboats fitting for the Baltic. The walls at the
east end of the metropolis are covered with placards inviting
seamen, landsmen, and boys 'who have been accustomed to
river or boat work to enter for this service. Several fine
athletic young fellows were accepted, and having been ex-
amined and pronounced fit by the medical officer,' were at
once sent on board the Crocodile, to be drafted,to their
respective vessels. The Pigmy, Lieut. Hunt, obtained the
largest number, but 'as gun-boat service is a favourite with
" blue jackets," owing to the probability of their obtaining a
goodly share of prizes, the manning of twenty or thirty such
vessels would not be so difficult as to complete the ship's
company of a single line4f-battle. ship.

The committee appointed to inquire into this matter met
yesterday, far the first time, for the despatch of business.
The members of the committee are Mr. Sotheron (chairman),
Mr. Milnes Gaskell, Mr. Horsman, Mr. Deedes, and Mr.
Bonham Carter.
Mr. G. H. Moore, M.P. for Mayo (on whose motion the
committee was appointed), appeared in the witness box, and
handed to the chairman a written statement of all the facts
of the case up to the present time, as they came out in the de-
bates of the House of Commons. He had no objection, be said,
to the committee that had been appointed ; only, as he was
not a member of it, and was, therefore, precluded from
conducting or directing the inquiry, he must decline
furnishing the committee with the names of any wit-
nesses, for the next thing would be that he should
have to indicate to the committee the nature of the ques-
tions to be put to those witnesses. He saw no medium
between taking the responsibility of conducting the inquiry
and declining to act at all in the matter. The usual practice
had not been followed in the nomination of the committee.
The member who moved for such a committee was generally
a member of it, to act, or to speak, in the capacity of
prosecutor, with another member to see that the opposite
side had fair play. The present was an entirely independent
committee, resembling in constitution an election or a rail-
way committee. These committees, however, had the as-
sistance of counsel on each side, whereas the present one
had no assistance of any kind.
A conversation then ensued , between the members of
committee and Mr. Moore, as to the gist of the charge
ho had to make. He said he did not mean to say
that the Duke of Newcastle and Mr. Peel had made the
appointment on account of corrupt conduct on Mr.
Stonor's part, or even with a knowledge of such cor-
rupt conduct. They had declared that the case was not so,
and he was quite ready to accept their denial. But parties
who had the ear of the Colonial-office parties whom
the noble duke in question had associated with himself in
conducting the late Irish elections, such as Mr. Edmond
O'Flaherty, Mr. Saclleir, Mr. Keogh, and others—such par-
ties used their influence at the Colonial-office not only
in the knowledge of that corrupt conduct, but on ac-
count of that corrupt conduct ; and the duke, who had
Irons his connection with Irish elections peculiar reasons for
being more cognisant than most people of the circumstances,
and ought to have been well acquainted with them, ceded to
that influence. He charged the Duke of Newcastle and Mr.
Peel with extraordinary forgetfulness and,with a gross negli-
gence, which amounted to a culpable dereliction of duty. They
were wilfully misled by others, but considering their position,
they ought not to have been so misled.
The Committee then cleared the room and remained in con-
sultation for some time. On the doors being opened they an-
nounced to Mr. Moore that it was their opinion that be should
be a member of the committee, and that they would consult
Mr. Speaker as to the manner in which that could be arranged.
In the meantime they wished him (Mr. Moore) to prepare a
statement of the exact points into which he wished to go, to
name the witnesses to be examined, and to say how soon the
matter might be proceeded with.
Mr. Moore replied, that the matter might bo proceeded
with at once, that he should be quite prepared to-morrow
(this day), and that the first witnesses would be his Grace the
Duke of Newcastle and Mr. Frederick Peel. He should ask
his grace who recommended Mr. Stoner, and the parties
named should be the next witnesses.
The Committee then adjourned to Thursday at 1 o'clock.
