parted her cable, but brought up again ; Enryalue parted
both cables,lbut brought up again ; Ca3sar parted both
cables ; and; is now under plain sail and steam, an. hal
been signalled to take upi, her station again. We hive
lots of exercise at §,Uarterl; small arnis, &c., and no-end
of Bing at a mark ; but I should ,think it; high time for,
some store ships to arrive, not only, with provisions and
stores, but powder, • shot, and shell—the expendi-
ture must have been 'very great in exercise—and
we only want a ship to take back' returns—.on com-
pleting provisions the other day some of the ships were
ordered to burn good casks forflrevroed, not having any
space to stow-them and full casks. Admiral Chads, is a
most untiring man in gunnery, and I think the poor
Rubsians will be cut up like Mince meat ; the four black
ships (Bdinbui-gh, Hogue, Blenheim, and Ajax) as they
are termed, will commit dreadful havoc amongst them.
Never was there such ,a fleet as we have now in the
Baltic ; we' shall annihilate the _Russian. fleet when
once we begin —ls .sad of the line—two 60es, one
47, three 36's, and , fifteen paddle-wheel and screw
steamers, which we expect to be 'increased by 'twelve
sail of the iine, and a dozen steamers, serew in ad-
dition to which will come the powerful French fleet. I
think it would' be a grand speculation for a few fast-
sailing schooners or screw ships to come,out here with
' notions, as the Americans say ; they certainly, would
make a grand thing of it, if their prices were moderate.
'The officers of the fleet are very much disgusted at the
Government charcing them 6d. for letters by men-of-
war. As Lord Grey said, we are all poor nien • end as
it does not cost the country anything to send them, he
should think the usual penny stamp sufficient. Here we
poor half-starved creatures are taxed, up to the eyes out
of our miserable pay, and cannot hear from our wives
and families without paying
,6d, by our own ships !
People rolling in riches, whom we are defending,' paying
ls. 2d. in the pound inceine-tax, and- the same amount is
taken out of our hard earnings. The time is con* now
that things are so dear, for the country to , add 10 per
cent. to our incomes. Pray lend us your aid in the
matter."

MR. URQU4A ItT AT ES7'ER.

A Meeting was held at the Manchester Corn Exchange
on Wednesday evening, which had been called for the
purpose of affording Mr; David-Urquhart an opportu-
nity of expressing his views of the Eastern question
and the war. Mr. Urquhart had summoned the meet.
ing in a. personal address to the inhabitants, in which.
he said, "The nation is plunging into a war. In ig-
norance, it believes it to be made against Russia. I
know that it is Made in concurrence with 'Russia, and
this knOwledge it is which urges me to make you this
proposal. It is with Turkey, and ultimately with
France,- that Ton will fight, unless your hand be stayed.
You have brought a revo'ution upon Turkey ; you will
hring it also upon Europe, and ultitnately experiende it
nt home." Mr. Alderinan Heywood presided.
URQUEIAItT read the following letter from Mr.
Bright, M.P., in reply to an invitation he had given the
hon. member to be present :

"Rochdale, April 18.
"Dear Sir,—l have. to thank you for, your note of the
15th inst., inviting, rue to a meeting to: be held in Man-
chester to-morrow. I am not astounded at your audacity
in calling the meeting ; on the contrary, I believe in your
sincerity. I regard your resolution to appeal openly to
your countrymen as courageousand proper. If I agreed
with you on this Enstern..question—if we had one starting
point—if our sentiments in regard, to it were in harmony
—I should feel it my duty to be at your side. But the
fact is, that we differ widely, in almost every point, except.
in the condemnation of this war; and r do not think I
should do anything for the cause of peace by ap. eating to
go with you, when, in truth, there is little agreement be-
tween us. I believe the war to be altogether unnecessary,
and that nothing can be said either for its justice or its
expediency: I helieve„furtber, that after having permitted
the- country by a series of blunders to drift into war, the
Ministers who have chiefly spoken on the subject, with
the exception of Lord :Aberdeen, have. misrepresented the
facto of thecese, and have thereby milled pnblie opinion.
With regard to the professed objects of war, I believe
them to be impossible of attainment, and that 'Russia, in
her wildest dreams of anibitiOn, never imagined so many
calamities to Turkey as have been brought upon that de-
voted country in a single year by the friendship which our
Government has professed towards her. It is a melapcholy
circumstance that the. English public—not examining,
and notrefiecting—accepting, with a child-like siniplicity,
the declarations of statesmen, whose only present- bond
of union is a partnership in the guilt of this war, and
relying on the assertions of a press, more anxious for
a trade, in newspapers than for truth, should give
their sanction , to proceedings as much opposed to
their , own interests as they are to every principle
of morality. Our countrymen fancy they are fighting
for freedom, because the Russian Government is a ,des-
potism ; they forget that the object of their solicitude is
no less a despot ; that their chief ally, but the other day,
overthrew a republic, and imprisoned or expatriated the
members of a freelyeiected Parliament ;, that they are al-
ternately coaxing and hullyipg Austria (whose reg trd• for
freedom and justice Hungary arid` Italy can attest) to join
them in this holy war; and that the chief result of their
'success—if success_ be possible—will be to perpetuate the
domination of a handful of the followers ofillahomet from
among millions of Christians, throughout the provinces of
Enropean Turkey. There was a time when it was fashion-
able to have sympathy for Greece. Now, Athens is to be
reoccupied by Englis • and- French troops if a strong anti-
Turkish feeling is nuanifestathere; Five years ago hnglish
Liberals -wished, success to the insurrections in Italy and
to the war for independence in Hungary. Now the efforts
of the Greeks for freedom are, pronounced ill-timed, and
we, who are sending Our fleets and armies to perfect their.
subjugation to the Turks; are the best judges of the mo-
ment when their fetters should be struck off. The people,
or a portion of them, are drunk with a confused notion of
fixating with Russia. They confound the blowing up of
ships and the slaughter of thousands with the cause of free-
dom, as if there were any connexion in matters wholly
apart. I cannot hope to change this feeling, amd fear you
cannot. Time and experience alone will convince them,
perhaps when too late, that a great national crime lies at'
their door." •

The letter was received with mingled cheera and
hisses

Mr. RAizirowril moved, "That it is not safe to enter
into war, without a thorough knowledge of the circum-
stances.'
Mr. ROLAND seconded the motion ; and it was
agreed to. , _ •
Mr. CONYNGFiAME moved, " That the English people"
having. been indifferent as to it, external relations for
many years, it. i= expedient .that it now employ itself in*
comprehending them,"
Mr. PARS seconded,, and Colonel CHESNEY Oupported,-
the motion. • • •

Mr. R. J. RICHARDSON, of Salford, moved an amend-
ment, to the effect . that the motion ,reflected iii3on the
intelligence of the people of Manchester, and that they.
were capable of thinking for themselves. .
Mr. STORE% seconded the amendment, which was
negatived. _
- Mr. A. WATIIN proposed a second amendmeut--

Mr. PoWES seconded the amendment. - -
" That this meeting ,concurring in opinion with the
great majority of the British people that the war with Rus-
sia in defence of turkey is a just and necessary war, de-
sires to express its earnest wish that the war may be,enr-
ried on with the utmost vi°our,, awl continued until the
power of Russia shall be redUced within-such liinits as will
be consistent with the peace and safety of the world---,
(load and general cheering)—and that in furtherance of
this view the restoration of Poland, Hungary, and Italy
1 to the state of indep.ndent nations, having free institu-
tions, is greatly to be desired. "(Renewed cheering.)
Mr. URQUHART then rose to address the meeting and
was received with cheers. He said, the result of our
sending troops to the East must be said that the Eng.,
lish contingent of 25,00 Cf men would take Constantinople,
~while the Turkisb empire, the Dardanelles, and that, in
fact,- the troops sent to the East were seut :fora Rus-
sian aid. (Cries of " No, no I" and hisses). Did the
meeting object to his entertaining an opinion Our
troops ,would-never fight the Russians ; we should re-
quire a head to fight the Russians. They were fighting
against a necromancer. It was a body fighting against
mind. God had given power of body
.to the English,
capacity of mind to Russia. And did they think that
the relationship was changed because they had the
power of 'moving armies He would tell then-i
this—that the ;hole of these events were planned
byßussia long ago. 'Let them not think that the mat
ter WAS te be decided upon the Danube. People here
were listening for the thunder of guns, in the Dobrud-
scha ; while, in-Turkey, they were waiting for the indi-
cations of thought here. Mr. Urquhart drew a retro-
spect of past wars between Turkey and Ru.4sia, dwelt
on the danger of revolutions in Europe involved in the
war, and our own danger in reference to India, and on
the secret Correspondence by which' our. Ministers had
entered into a bargain with Russia for the partition of
Turkey. '
A gentleman inquired when that bargain was male ?

Mr. URQUHART—When they got the English Govern-
ment holding secret communications with the. very Power
to resist ,whom its whole policy was directed, what could
be the object of
,concealment I If it was not that there
had been infamy, the' Men. must have been fools. - It was
his object to excite their attention .to the fact that' they
had been bought and sold. -He took these means to
save himself. with. them, and he was labouring to save
both them and himself. He might have sold them if he
liked, but he was determined to save them. This, then.
was.the bargain-:-Constantinople for Russia, and Egypt
and Candia for the English. Mr. Urquhart said, the
Great Napoleon might have had the eame bargain, and
read his statement, made at St. lieiena, to that effect.
(The speech was interrupted by cries 'of impatience,
lamilster. and incredulity, about. equally mingled.).
_ _

The CIIAIRMAN decided that Mr. Watkins' amendment
was' not an amendment ; nut the meeting solved the
difficulty about dealing with it, by expressing a wish to
have bath motion and amendment, and accordingly
carried each of them
A ..third resolution was carried to the effect that an
association be formed in Manchester for the purpose of
acqUirhig and disseminating constitutional and diplo-
matic knowledge ; and this concluded the proceedings.

THE SUSPECTED MURDER AND MUTILATION' OP THE
BODY AT PADDINGTON.—Yesterday Mr. Brent resumed
and, concluded an inquiry at the Bank of England, Pad-
dington, into the circumstances connected with the
'death of a male infant, who-e mutilated body was dis-
covered hi-a sewer hear Connaullit square; under eir-'
oilmstances already. detailed in The Sun. • The irive-4i:
gation was adjourned, as both the coroner and jury
Considered it- highly probable' that, the guilty. party
or parties would' be detected, should the testimony of
the man Geale, who found the remains while ratting
in 'the sewer, and who stated, as 'a person well ac-
quainted with sewers, that they must have come from one
_
of the adjoining drains in Berkeley-street, as there was
no stream to have carried them down, and the flood-
gates had not been opened for upwards of a week prior
to the finding of the' body, prove Correct. The police
were instructed to make all necessary inquiries in the
neighbourhood respecting the atrocious affair ; and on
the re-assembling of the jury yesterday,- Sergeant White,
13 D, stated that he had made every inquiry in Berkeley-
street, and its immediate locality, without gaining any,
information which- could lead in any way to 'the eluci
dation of the affair. He had also, in compsny-with.-the
-witness Geale, -descended into:the sewer and examined all
the drains belonging to, the houses in Berkeley-street,
withoutdiscovering any portion.s of the missing remains..
After the examination of other witnesses, the jury re-
turned an open verdict, leaving the affair in the hands
of the police for further investigation.
DEATH orPaoressos JAMESON.—This distinguished
man, whose name has been familiar in the scientific
circles of Europe and America for half-a-century, died
yesterday at his residence in this city at a very advanced
age, being on the borders 'of eighty. Professor Jame-
son' has been for a considerable period- in a declining
state ,of health. He attempted to lecture in the Session
1852-3, but was compelled to forego thin and all active
duties. In 1804 be was appointed Professor of Natural
History in the University of Edinburgh, and has there-
fore held-that chair for the- long period of 450 years. and
had been in the University ld years longer than. any of
his colleagues in the Seriatim Ac tdevilicus. In 1808 he
founded the Wernerian Natural History Society, and
in 1819 commenced the Edinburgh new Philoso- hical
Journal. Professor Jameson contributed largely to the
Encyclopedia Brit innica, and has left behind him in his
works ample -evidence of hie devotion to science. He'
was elected a corresponding member of the Institute of
Franee--was a member of the French Academy, and
many other scientific bodies both at home and abroad.;
and we' need scarcely add that his name hai been long
associated with the University- Museum, which owes
no little of its celebrity to his labour and zeal. Few, or
none who have passed away have done more to sustain
the fame of the university, and during a long course of

LAW LYTP LI - i 7 20.

COURT OF CHANCERY.

THE QUEEN V. THE EASTERN. ARCHIPELAGO COMPANY.

The further hearing of the argument in this case, which
was part heard yesterday, was resumed and concluded
to-day. The petition was on behalf of the company,
and it prayed that all further proceedings on a juilgment
under a writ of scire facias, annulling their charter,
might be stayed until the law officers of the Crown had
inquired into the circumstances under which the Board
of Trade gave its approval of the way in which the con-
ditions of the charter bad been carried out, with refer-
ence to the payment of a portion of the capital withinr a
certain period. It appeared that the writ of setre fccias
had been issued M the instance of Sir J-ones Brooke,
one of the directors, the object being tc hive the charter
revoked, which 46 been granted to the company, on the
ground that the company i:ad not complied with the
terms of the charter, and had frau-lulently repre,ented
that a capital cf 50,0001 had been raised. . The .issue
upou the writ was tried by Lord Campbell, when a ver-
dict was ref'urued in faVour of thirCrown, and the judg•
merit' in the Queen's amch was affirmed in the Court of
Exchequer on error. The petition-therefore prayed that
execution on the writ should be 'stayed till' -the 'inquiry
the company solicited was made by the law officers of
the Crown, ‘.

Mr. Rolt and Mr. Freeling appeared in support of the
petition, and Mr. J. V. Prior and Mr. Roupell against it.
On the conclusion of the argument,

The Lord Chancellor said that as judgment bad been
pronounced in the case there could be no such thing as
a nolle prosequi. The case was the same as. that 4 a
capital felony, where nothing Was left, to-be, dons but for
the sheriff to execute.: With regard to the moral impu-
tation, he had only to say that no moral imputation
whatever rested upon the directors in having stated that
the. capital of 50,000/_ had been paid up, and his lordship
therefore .he'd that the directors were relieved from
that ,imputation. His lordship concluded by saying
that the petition must be dismissed. Petition dismissed
accordingly.

(Before the Lords Justices.)
WING V. HARVEY.

This bill was filed. against the President of the 'Nor-
wich Union Insurance Company, to obtain. A decree for
the payment of certain policies of insurance, amounting
to 5301. and effected on the life of a person named Ben-
nett, who, subsequent to the isAiing of the policies,
ceeded to Canada, where he died. Up to the period of
his decease the premiums were regularly paid. The de-
fendants contended-that the deceased had, contrary to
the terms of the policies, gone beyond sea, that they had
not-had notice of his having done so, and that -tht'y
ought to have been paid the -higher premium on the
extra risk.

The Lords Justices held that the payment of the.pre-
miunis, under the circumstances,' constituted sufficient
notice, and that the- defendahts, by the receipt of the
premiums, should be held to have as,ented to the reel-
denee :beyond sea, and. the Validity of the policie.4 should
therefore be maintained.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURTS.
(Before. Sir R; Kiridenitry.)
WOODHOUSE V. WOODHOUSE.

In this case'it. appeared that a testator, named Robert
Woodhouse. left all his property to be dtvide..i between
his three children equally, but the whare of has daughter
vn directed to be settled so that one moiety Should be
paid to heraloolutely, and the rest to be settled upon
certain trusts fur her bei,efit. Before the testator died
his-clau4hter married, and upon the marriage the testa-
tor settled 7,0001. upon trust fur her and her children,
and he also gave her a sum of 8001. as an outfit. The
.laughter, at her father's request, wrote Into a letter, ac-
knewledgin-f that the 7,8001. was settled upon her on
account of her share of his property. Upon the testa-
tor's death a que tion arose,- w:iettler the looney setted
upon the daughter was a substitution for the moiety
directed by the will to be settled upon her, or whether
it was to be deducted from the entire sumgiven her by
the will. ,

Mr. BaiLev, Mr. Teed, Mr. Gre_e'n,_Mr. Martindale,
and Mr, &Jawed appeared for the different parties.
The Vine-Chancellor decided that the 7;800/, was to
be deducted from the whole of the property to which the
daiighter was entitled under the will. _ His Honour e,n.
sidered that this evidently the intention of the
testator.
