CHARGE OF NEGLECT AGAINST THE
PAROCIIIAL AUTHORITIES OF ST.
GILES-IN-THE-FIELDS.-(TBIS DAY.)

This morning an inquest was held by Mr. C. Bedford,
coroner for Westminster, at St. Clements Danes vestry,
Pickett-street, Strand, on the body of William Rinse,
a tailor, aged 42, and during which a grave charge of
neglect was made against the parochial authorities of
St. Giles-in-the• Fields.

From the evidence of several witnesses, it appeared
that, previous to his death, the deceased resided at the
model lodging-house, in Charles-street, Drury-lane.
About eleven o'clock on Saturday last he was taken very
ill, and was accordingly taken into the infirmary of
the above-mentioned parish. After waiting for some
considerable time Mr. Bennett, the surgeon, came in
and told him to stand up, which he did, saying, "Here
lam ; what the devil do you want with me ?" Mr.
Bennett then told him to go about his business, and that
he would have nothing at all to do with him, and the
deceased left the infirmary without receiving any assist-
ance. On leaving the infirmary he was taken worse,
and on his way back to the model lodging-house suffered
the most dreadful agony, and was, some time after his
arrival at that establishment, taken to King's College
Hospital, where he was promptly attended to by Dr.
Vaughan Holberton ; but, notwithstanding that gentle-
man's exertions, he sank and died on Sunday evening
last from Asiatic cholera.
Mr. Bennett, in explanation, said that, when he saw
the deceased, he had no appearance of cholera, but
admitted that as the deceased became ♦iolent he also
lost his temper, and told him (deceased) to go and get
an order from the overseer, where he thought he had
gone to. Finding, however, that deceased did not re-
-turn, be gave an order to the porter of the infirmary to
admit him if he did.

The jury, after a short consultation, returned a ver-
dict that the deceased died from Asiatic cholera, adding
that they hoped this death would act as a caution in
future in procuring patients more prompt attention
during the prevalence of the epidemic.

SOUTHAMPTON, Aug. 23.—The Peninsular and Orien-
tal Company's screw steam-ship Candia, Captain Field,
made a trial to-day in Stokes-bay for the purpose of
testing her fitness for duty previous to her taking her
departure for a station in India. For some weeks past
this fine ship has been undergoing extensive alterations
and repairs, in consequence of some fault existing in
connection with her propeller; but, from the satisfactory
result of the trial to-day, it is the intention of the com-
pany to despatch her with the outward mails for the
Peninsular ports on the 27th inst., and on her return to
order her immediate departure for India. The Iberia,
with the mails from Gibraltar, Cadiz, Lisbon, Vigo, and
Oporto, is expected to arrive during the night. The
Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Atrato, Captain
Woolley, with the West India and Mexican mails, is
expected to arrive on or about the 30th inst.

SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY.

The General Screw Steam Navigation Company's
steamer Indiana, Captain Lambert, which has been
placed on the Havre and New York line, arrived
in Southampton Water to-day at noon. She left
New York on the 10th instant, and not on the Bth,
as reported by the Cunard steamer Africa, whose
arrival at Liverpool on Sunday was reported in
The San. Her passage has thus occupied a space
of little over 12 days.
The Indiana brings 70 passengers and general
cargo, but no specie.
The news by this arrival is meagre.
Previous to the sailing of the Indiana telegraphic
reports had been received from New Orleans an-
nouncing the arrival there of the El Dorado steam-
ship from San Francisco, and the Philadelphia from
Havannah. The El Dorado brought dates from
California to the 15th ult., the same as those pre-
viously received by the Star of the West. The
Havannah news was of no importance.

Conflicting reports had been received in New
York respecting the progress of the cholera in the
provinces. In the neighbourhood of the Niagara
Falls it was much on the increase ; so much so,
that the place had almost been deserted by tourists
and fashionable visitors. In Baltimore the disease
was declining, while at New Brunswick it was
rather on the increase.

The Greytown affair still occupied the attention
of the public, and there the matter stood.
The State elections were being held. In the St.
Louis district, Missouri, Mr. Luther M. Kennett
bad been returned by a majority of from 600 to 800
over Mr. Benton. Great excitement had taken
place, and much rioting was the result, but without
serious consequences. Mr. Kennett is a great
supporter of the Nebraska Bill. Returns had been
received from North Carolina, but they could not
be depended upon.
The adoption of the Reciprocity Treaty was
about being advocated in New Brunswick, now that
- it had been confirmed by the United States.
A. large fire had occurred at New Orleans, and
property to a large amount had been destroyed.
The fire raged principally among the merchants'
warehouses.

COURT-MARTIAL ON LIEUT. PERRY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
I SlR,—Much has been said as to the conduct of the
officers of the 46th Regiment, and some say it has been
undeservedly censured. During their stay at Weedon,
only eight miles from this town, they were invited to
dine with the officers of the Northamptonshire Militia,
and, after they had left the dinner table, they descended
into the town, and commenced a series of pranks dis-
graceful to any body of men, and especially of those
holding her Majesty's commission. lan sure the police
would most feelingly state that they have no memory of
ever having been so taunted and insulted as they were
by these men, and it was a perfect mystery to the by-
standers why they were not taken into custody.
In making the above statement I have no unkind or
illiberal feeling, and I have no doubt the gentlemen
constituting the court martial will do their duty dispas-
sionately, but I think it is but right that the country
should be apprised that, irrespective of the court martial
alluded to, the general conduct of this corps deserves re-
prehension, and has been highly unbecoming men calling
themselves officers and gentlemen.—l am, your 's
faithfully, A CONSTANT READER.
P.S. I should probably add that all this happened
after they had parted with the militia officers, any one
of whom would have been ashamed of such conduct.
Lieut.-Col. Lord Burghley and the officers he commands
(who are now en route to Dublin) would never have met
them after such conduct, if apprised of it in all its
truth.

THE DANUBE.

Letters from Orsova, to the 22d, state that the
anniversary of the birth of his Majesty the Em-
peror Francis Joseph was celebrated on the 18th
at Rustchuk, with great rejoicings. Omer Pacha,
with the whole of his staff and all the foreign
officers, attended the ceremonies usual on such
occasions in the consular chapel.
The cholera had made its appearance among the
Turks stationed at Rustchuk.
Private letters from Odessa, to the 18th, confirm
the reported defeat of the Turks in Asia by General
Wrangel.
The Lloyd of Vienna, says :
" Intelligence has been received from Bucharest to the
15th, stating that two days before Orner Pacha addressed
a proclamation to the Wallachians calculated to tranquil-
lise them, and declaring that no one should be disquieted
for having made common cause with the Russians. Colo-
nel Colpihoun and the Chancellor of the French Consu-
late returned to Bucharest on the 12th. A letter from
Jassy states that the retreat of the Russians beyond the
Pruth was being very slowly effected, most of the troops
remaining on the right bank of that river. • It is even said
that the troops concentrated at Tekutch are not passing
the Pruth, but are proceeding to Galatz, and that within
a few days before troops comm.- from Bessarabia passed
Pruth at Reni, which may be explained by the fact
of the counter-orders arriving too late. Considerable
illaS,o3 of Turkish troops are advancing into the Dobrud-
sells, in the direction of Ibraila and Galatz. In the
lame way those which passed the Danube near Hirsova
are proceeding towards the same towns. The Russians
appear resolved to defend these places, where reinforce-
ments are constantly arriving,"

ANSWER OF RUSSIA TO THE PROPOSI•
TIONS OF THE FOUR POWERS.

Letters have been received in Paris from Berlin
of the 20th, to the effect that, on the previous day,
Prince Gortschakoff had received the answer of the
Russian Cabinet to the propositions of the other
powers. It is said that Russia, does not absolutely
reject them, and even recognises them as capable
of being made the basis of new negotiations, after
certain modifications in reference to the protecto-
rate of the principalities, and the preservation, in
their integrity, of the privileges of the Greek
Christians.

THE LAW OF INQUESTS.—The Plymouth Journal,
reporting an inquest which took place a few days ago,
Saltash,at on the bodies of two youths who had been
accidentally drowned while bathing, says :—"The bodies
had been landed, it seemed, in such a manner as brought
them within the jurisdiction of the worthy gentleman
who fills the office of coroner for Saltash ; and in accord-
ance, therefore, with the requirements of an antiquated
and monstrously absurd proviso in the statute, it was
necessary, before an inquest could be held upon the re-
mains, that the bodies should he viewed by the jury be-
low high-water mark. For this purpose, therefore, the
parents were subjected to the additional pain and annoy-
ance of havinz the bodies of their children again removed
frotn their homes. The body of Nicholls was conveyed
from Queen-street, to the inn where the inquest was
held, and where it remained until the jury arrived and
were sworn. The two coffins containing the bodies
were then conveyed to the side of the canal, followed by
the thirteen jurymen, a number of curious idlers also
joining in the dismal procession. Having arrived at a
spot ` below high water, the bearers were directed to
stop, and the coffins having been set down athwart a le,
of timber, were instantly surrounded by a gaping crowd,'
whilst the bodies were exposed to the view of the jurors.
That a ceremony at once so ridiculous and disgusting,
should be insisted upon in the present day does seem
astonishing, and it is high time that such senseless
proceedings should be numbered with the things of
the past,'

LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1854,

The complete details respecting the capture o
Bomarsund, and the consequent overthrow of
the Russian power in the Aland Isles, are now
before the public ; and we rejoice to say that the
publication does not in any degree detract from
the satisfaction experienced on the receipt of the
pleasing intelligence. Our gratification is, indeed,
without drawback or alloy, for we find not merely
the most conclusive testimony to the energy and
efficiency of the Allied forces, but also to the cor-
dial understanding prevailing between all ranks,
from the Commander-in-Chief to the humblest
soldiers and sailors engaged in the expedition.
There was a friendly rivalry, an honourable emu-
lation, as to which should render the best services
to the common cause ; but each rendered full jus-
tice to the others, and zealously co-operated in
accomplishing the object they had in view. It
was by these means that. they were enabled to. per-
form such brilliant exploits, and to achieve such
important results with such comparatively trifling
Ines. It is true that the nation has to mourn the
of a young and gallant officer, cut off at the
very commencement of what promised to be a
very brilliant career. But although we most
deeply regret his doom and truly sympathise with
bereaved family, we must remember that he
met a glorious death, almost at the very hour of
victory, when the first great achievement of the
accomplished, and that his name, along
was acco
season
with those who shared his honourable fate, will
long remain enshrined in the hearts of his coun-
trymen.
As we have stated, this has been the first
It affords us,
great achievement of the season.
however, the most decisive evidence of how com-
pletely unable the Russian troops are to cope
with those of England and France, and how in-
competent their fortifications are to resist the
well-sustained and accurate bombardment of our
batteries. But eight days from the disembarka-
tion of our troops, and three days from the
opening of our fire, ere the union-jack and tri-
colour had replaced the Russian standard and
proudly waved on the conquered forts of Bo-
marsund, nothing could have been more quietly
or efficiently performed than the various opera-
tions. The troops—eleven thousand men—were
landed in lessthan four hours, without anycasualty

MOVEMENTS OF THE ALLIED ARMIES
IN THE EAST.

A letter from Adrianople of the Bth, in the Lloyd
of Vienna, says :

" Those who do not see the interminable train of
vehicles laden with supplies and military stores which
pass through this place, cannot be aware of the wants of
an army. For the last fortnight there has been a con-
stant supply of forage proceeding to the army, which a
month ago might have commenced decisive operations if
it had not been for the difficulty in obtaining supplies.
The energy displayed by Marshal St. Arnaud has at
length introduced a durable ch inge in the system of sup-
plying the armies. The Marshal is now in a position to
commence operations against the Crimea with 80,000
men. The embarkations are going on without intermis-
sion at Varna, Baltchik, and Mangalia, and in a fortnight
we may receive accounts of operations undertaken on the
Russian coast of the Black Sea. Gen. Canrobert, in con-
cert with the E nglish Generals Brown and Boxer, will first
be charged with an important mission, and as soon as they
shall have set their foot in the Crimea, at a point which
has not been made public, Marshal St:Arnaud and Lord
Raglan will follow with the army. The Marshal will
afterwards direct in person the operations by land against
Sebastopol with the support of the fleet commanded by
Admiral Hamelin. General Bosquet, who has com-
manded the auxiliary troops in this place, will advance
at the head of the divisions of Prince Napoleon and of
the Turkish co-ps ofMustapha Pacha, towards the Danube
by the Dobrudscha, in order to enter Bessarabia after
having taken Galatz and Ibrail, which the Russians are
not likely to give up without a struggle. The Marshal
attaches much importance to this operation of General
Bosquet, and it is thought that this general will be at
Odessa within a delay determined on. General Allon-
ville left yesterday for Varna, having been summoned
thither by Marshal St. Arnaud."
We make the following extract relating to the
French expedition to the Dobrudscha, from a let-
ter, dated :
" Ist Division, Camp at Gcovelar, 6th Aug. 1854.
"We have just heard bad news of a French expe-
dition to the Dobrudscha. A joint commission had
been sent to report on that unhealthy locality, but the
French, anxious to snatch the first laurels, despatched a
force two days before the report, an unfavourable one,
arrived. The consequence is that they have just re-
turned with the loss, from illness, of 2,000 men. Fever
came, it is asserted, by the water. There is a great
scarcity of water in the Dobrudscha, and it is said the
dogs, to get at it, jumped down the wells and were
drowned, and hence the poisoned water. 640 men were
thrown into 'The Karason' in one day."

THE WAR.

THE REPORTED DEFEAT OF THE
TURKISH ARMY IN ASIA.

Another version of the despatch from a Russian
source, which reached Vienna on Tuesday, an-
nouncing that General Bebutoff had totally de-
feated the great Turkish army near Kars, is
published in the second edition of a contemporary
to-day. It does not differ from that we gave yes-
terday except in one important particular. Ac-
cording to it the Russians took 23,000 Turkish
troops prisoners, instead of 2,300, as we mentioned
yesterday.

It adds that " three thousand Turks were left
dead on the field of battle ; the remainder fled to

Kars."

CHARGE OF NEGLECT AGAINST THE
PAIeOCIIIAL AUTHORITIES OF Sr.
GIIES-IN-THE-FIE LDS.—(T BIS DAY.)

This morning an inquest was held by Mr. C. Bedford,
coroner for Westminster, at St. Clements Danes vestry,
Pickett•street, Strand, on the body of William Kinse,
a tailor, aged 42, and during which a grave charge of
neglect was made against the parochial authorities of
St. Giles•in-the-Fields.

From the evidence of several witnesses, it appeared
that, previous to his death, the deceased resided at the
model lodging-house, in Charles-street, Drury-lane.
About eleven o'clock on Saturday last he was taken very
ill, and was accordingly taken into the infirmary of
the above-mentioned parish. After waiting for some
considerable time Mr. Bennett, the surgeon, came in
and told him to stand up, which he did, saying, "Here
lam ; what the devil do you want with me ?" Mr.
Bennett then told him to go about his business, and that
he would have nothing at all to do with him, and the
deceased left the infirmary without receiving any assist-
ance. On leaving the infirmary he was taken worse,
and on his way back to the model lodging-house suffered
the most dreadful agony, and was, some time after his
arrival at that establishment, taken to King's College
Hospital, where he was promptly attended to by Dr.
Vaughan Holberton ; but, notwithstanding that gentle-
man's exertions, he sank and died on Sunday evening
last from Asiatic cholera.

Mr. Bennett, in explanation, said that, when he saw
the deceased, he had no appearance of cholera, but
admitted that as the deceased became violent he also
lost his temper, and told him (deceased) to go and get
an order from the overseer, where he thought he had
gone to. Finding, however, that deceased did not re-
turn, he gave an order to the porter of the infirmary to
admit him if he did.

The jury, after a short consultation, returned a ver-
dict that the deceased died from Asiatic cholera, adding
that they hoped this death would act as a caution in
future in procuring patients more prompt attention
during the prevalence of the epidemic.

PORTUGAL.

The Douro steamer brings Lisbon letters of the
15th. Her Majesty's steamer Prometheus and the
Brazilian steamer Viamao were the only foreign
Vessels of war in the Tagus.
The Royal Mail steamer Severn arrived at Lis-
bon with the mails on the 12th, and left for Brazil
next day, having been kept all the time under
quarantine at Belem, in consequence of the new
decrees of the Lisbon Board of Health, declaring
London to be infected with cholera since the 22d
of July, and all other ports in England suspected.
The name Gazette declares Genoa and Athens in-
fected, and all other Sardinian and Greek ports
suspected. New York and Barcelona are also in-
fected, and thus, seeing that most of the Brazilian
and Mediterranean ports were already excluded
from free pratique, the Tagus has become a per-
manent quarantine station, and the means of en-
forcing heavy contributions upon the many for the
profit of the few.
The new Portuguese steamer Donna Maria 11.
had completely filled the Lisbon Lazaretto with
passengers brought from the Brazils, principally of
the second and third class. The Donna Maria's pio-
neer voyage out to Rio de Janeiro was 24 days, and
home to Lisbon 25 days, having been beaten by the
South American Company's steamer Lusitania by
three days outward and two days homeward ; also
by one day homeward by the Royal mail steamer
Thames, which left Rio 24 hours before the Donna
Maria.

There was no political news of importance at
Lisbon. The report that General Concha had pro-
claimed the Iberian union at Barcelona produced
very little sensation at Lisbon even during the 24
hours it was believed to be true. The Portuguese
evidently fear their neighbour's embrace, and will
require much courting before they accept it.
The Minister of Finance was about to pay a
visit of inspection to the works going on upon the
road between Lisbon and Coimbra, which is ex-
pected to be rea ly for the diligence by the begin-
ning of 1855. The railroad between Lisbon and
Santarem was progressing favourably towards
completion.

STATE OF TRADE.

( From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.)
MANCHESTER, Aug. 22.—1 n our market the tendency
to quietness, which was observable last week, partica-
larly towards its close, has become more marked to-day ;
both the home and foreign buyers of the middle and lower
numbers of yarns having shown an increased indisposi-
tion to operate. In this they are evidently very much
influenced by the position of the cotton market; then,
again, many have bought very freely of late, and are
now well supplied. Under these circumstances, some
little irregularity is introduced into prices. The great
body of spinners are indeed too much under contract to
make any change in their quotations ; but here and
there one is willing to concede id. per lb. in some de-
scriptions. The sales have been inconsiderable in their
aggregate amount. In the department of goods a simi-
lar restriction of transactions is experienced. In general.
manufacturers are not at all inclined to accept the small-
est reduction from the previous quotations, which were
quite unremunerative, and in many kinds worse than
unremunerative.

BIRMINGHAM, August 21.—The past week has wit-
nessed a considerably improved feeling in this trade.
The withholding of orders that followed those unmis-
takeable signs of dubiousness among some of our leading
manufacturers as to their ability to maintain the ad-
vanced position into which they had been forced, has
been carried to its full extent without effect, and a reac-
tion of a promising character appears to have set in,
with a revival of demand equal to every power of pro-
duction. For pig iron of good quality there has again
been more inquiry, and the purchases of quarter day are
all fast being used up, so that there is little prospect of
any further concession on the part of pig makers ; per-
haps the prices may be quoted something like 2s. 6d. of
ss. per ton lower than were demanded at the end of
June, with, however, less inclination to sell than was
evidenced a fortnight ago. The accounts from Glasgow
notice a renewed impulse in the Scotch pig market, with
an advance of 3s. to 4s. per ton.

THE DANUBE.

Letters from Orsova, to the 22d, state that the
anniversary of the birth of his Majesty the Em-
peror Francis Joseph was celebrated on the 18th
at Rustchuk, with great rejoicings. Omer Pacha,
with the whole of his staff and all the foreign
officers, attended the ceremonies usual on such
occasions in the consular chapel.
The cholera had made its appearance among the
Turks stationed at Rustchuk.

Private letters from Odessa, to the 18th, confirm
the reported defeat of the Turks in Asia by General
Wrangel.
The Lloyd of Vienna, says :

" Intelligence has been received from Bucharest to the
15th, stating that two days before Omer Pacha addressed
a proclamation to the Wallachians calculated to tranquil-
lise them, and declaring that no one should be disquieted
fur having made common cause with the Russians. Colo-
nel Colquhoun and the Chancellor of the French Consu-
late returned to Becharest on the 12th. A letter from
Jassy states that tte retreat of the Russians beyond the
Pruth was being very slowly effected, most of the troops
remaining on the right bank of that river. It is even said
that the troops concentrated at Tekutch are not passing
the Pruth, but are proceeding to Galatz, and that within
a few days before troops coining from Bessarabia passed
the Pruth at Reni, which may be explained by the fact
of the counter-orders arriving too late. Considerable.
mas.-es of Turkish troops are advancing into the Dobrud-
seha in the direction of Ibraila and Galatz. In the
same way those which passed the Danube near Hirsova
are proceeding towards the same towns. The Russians
appear resolved to defend these places, where reinforce-
ments are constantly arriving."

ANSWER OF RUSSIA TO THE PROPOSI-
TIONS OF THE FOUR POWERS.

--
Letters have been received in Paris from Berlin
of the 20th, to the effect that, on the previous day,
Prince Gortschakoff had received the answer of the
Russian Cabinet to the propositions of the other
powers. It is said that Russia does not absolutely
reject them, and even recognises them as capable
of being made the basis of new negotiations, after
certain modifications in reference to the protecto-
rate of the principalities, and the preservation, in
their integrity, of the privileges of the Greek
Christians.
London, England, 1854-08-24

in Servia, Wallachia, and Moldavia, that of all
the Great Powers is to be substituted. If the
AUTOCRAT is to abandon any interference between
the SULTAN and his subjects, members of
the Greek Church, all the Christian subjects
of the Porte are to be protected by all the
great Christian Powers of Europe. If the
mouths of the Danube are to be opened freely
to "the whole world's navigation," there i
nothing to show that the channels are to remain
clear from, and unchoked by, sand, or that
Russia is to withdraw the establishments, which,
under the pretext of quarantine, she founded on
its banks and at its entrances ! If the navigation
of the Black Sea is to be relieved from any further
restriction, there is nothing to prevent the
presence of an overwhelming force at Sebastopol,
and the practical supremacy of the CzAR in that
which, although no longer a Russian Lake, will
still be under his control and management.
We fear that the movement of the Austrians
may retard, if it do not altogether prevent, our
operations against the Crimea and Sebastopol.
We hear nothing of taking possession of that rich
territory, which cught to be restored to its
ancient possessors. We hear nothing said of the
dismantling or transfer of the fortifications at
the great Naval Arsenal in the Black Sea, or the
reduction of the Russian Fleet to more moderate
dimensions. Is it the influence of Austria that
has prevented the demand ? We hear nothing
respe3ting the recognition of the independence of
the Caucasus, and the guarantee of that indepen-
dence by the Allies. Has Germanism anything
to do with the omission ? Has it even extended
its baleful influence to the vicinity of the Baltic,
and stipulated against any decisive humiliation of
the pride, or diminution of the power, of the
despot. Without these matters we can have no
security for the future, and we should be little
better than fools or madmen if we sheathed our
swords without obtaining that security—while we
should be unjust to our own over-burdened
tax-payers if we did so without receiving pay-
ment of the Ten Millions extracted from their
pockets, and of all sums that may hereafter be
levied under or by virtue of the " War Tax," the
doubled Income Tax, and the enhanced duties on
Malt, Spirits, and Sugar.

THE REPORTED DEFEAT OF THE
TURKISH ARMY IN ASIA.

Another version of the despatch from a Russian
source, which reached Vienna on Tuesday, an-
nouncing that General Bebutoff had totally de-
feated the great Turkish army near Kars, is
published in the second edition of a contemporary
to-day. It does not differ from that we gave yes-
terday except in one important particular. Ac-
cording to it the Russians took 23,000 Turkish
troops prisoners, instead of 2,300, as we mentioned
yesterday.

It adds that " three thousand Turks were left
dead on the field of battle ; the remainder fled to
Kars."

AUSTRIAN OCCUPATION OF THE
