LAMBETH.

Luke Ward, who was dressed in the uniform of
the 43d Regiment of Infantry, was charged before
Mr. Norton with an act of vagrancy by begging in
the public street.
Police-constable William Cockerell, 108 L, de-
posed, that he found the prisoner begging in the
Lower-marsh, Lambeth, and the singularity of a
soldier asking for alms in the public street having
caused a crowd of persons to assemble around him so
as to obstruct the public way, he felt it to be his duty
to remove him to the station-house.

In reply to the charge, the prisoner gave the fol-
lowing brief history of his life and present sufferings
—" His father, Michael Ward, who, he said, was a
native of the town of Trim, in the county of Meath;
enlisted in the 49th Regiment of Foot when a young
man, and after serving in that regiment in various
parts of the globe, was pensioned off as a sergeant
in 1829, and died in his native town of Trim in,
1839. tDuring the period of his father's service,
his (prisoner's) three brothers, who, as well as hirn-1
self; had been born in the regiment, enlisted into the(
army; his brother Thomas went into the 49th]
became a sergeant in the band, and master of th.,
adult school, and died in India in 1838. His brother,
Peter also enlisted into the 49th, and was discharged
in 1838, having lost the sight of the right eyei
and very nearly that of the other, and was allowed at
pension of ls. a day. Michael, a third brother]
enlisted into the 86th Regiment, in which he was at
present serving in India, and he the (prisoner)
enlisted at Trim, in September, 1839, immediately
after the death of his father, into the 43d Light
Infantry. He accompanied the regiment to Canadaj
where he was attacked with a white swelling of thei
right knee, and, after being in a hospital for twelve'
months, was obliged to have the limb amputated
a little above the injured part at Quebec, it
January, lii4s. In the month of October of thd
same year he arirved at Chatham and was then!
discharged on a pension of 6d. a day for eighteen'
months. He understood, he said, from the surgeori
who attended him that the loss of a leg above the.'
knee, or an arm above the elbow, would certainly
title him to at least one shilling a day pension, and;
therefore expected that sum, and the announcement
that he was to have sixpence a-day, and only that for;
eighteen months, had much disappointed him. He'
petitioned the Commissioners at Chelsea Hospital
when his pension had ceased, and after an interval of
four months they consented to the pension continuing
for six months longer. The period expired threir
months ago, and since that time he bad been reduceoii
to the greatest possible privations, and compelled as a.
last resource to beg." The poor fellow here handed
in his discharge and other documents, which bore out
his statement to the
,fullest extent. He also handed
in certificates signed by the colonel of the regiment
and others, representing his conduct and character to
have been of the very best description.
In reply to the questions of Mr. Norton, the
prisoner said he had forwarded his papers to the
Commander-in-Chief, and had received a reply from
Lord Fitzroy Somerset, stating, that though his
Grace considered his case a hard one he had not the
power to do anything for him, as such power rested
solely in the Commissioners at Chelsea Hospital.
The prisoner further stated, that on enlisting be de-
scribed Trim to be his birthplace, but he had since
ascertained that he had been born in the Isle of Wight
while his father's regiment was there. He had been
latterly stopping at the lodgings of his brother Peteri
who was then in court.

The brother was here called forward, and stated
that he assisted his brother as well as he could, but
the sight of his left eye having become much weak-
ened, and the right eye entirely lost to him, he and
his wife were obliged to shift as well as they could
upon his pension of ls. a day. Ire added that there
were very few families who contributed five of their
members to the service and defence of their country
as theirs had, and thought the Government ought to
do something for his brother. For his own part, he
had no reason to complain of the Government, as he
thought it had done all it could for him, and he did
hope that something would be done for his poor
brother if he could only find some gentleman of in-
fluence to take up his case.
Mr. NORTON supposed the reason for withholding
a pension in their case was from the circumstance of
the prisoner having lost his limb from natural causes,
and not by accident or while in battle. But whether
it had been lost in the one way or in the other, its
deprivation was the same to the poor man. He (Mr.
Norton) thought that the fact of the whole family
having devoted themselves to the service of the coun-
try was a circumstance which entitled the prisoner's
case to a favourable consideration ; and he should,
therefore, recommend that a full representation of the
case be drawn up and forwarded with the documents
produced to the Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital,
with the view of seeing if it could not be made an
exception to the general rule.

The poor felloNv replied that he was quite incapa-
ble of drawing up such a statement himself, and
had not a farthing to pay others for doing it. Upon
which—

Mr. NORTON, with his usual kindness in such mat-
ters, requested the chief clerk to draw up the state-
ment and forward it to Chelsea, and further desired
that 103. be given from the poor-box for the unfortu-
nate man's present relief.

The poor fellow seemed so overpowered with the
kindness which he had experienced, as to be scarcely
able to express his gratitude.

BALLOON ASCENT.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
LEEDS, MAY 23.
Lieutenant G. B. Gale made his 33d ascent on Monday
last, in the Cremorne Balloon, from the Zoological Gar-
dens at Headingley, near Leeds, accompanied by James
Goulston, Esq., who made his fifth ascent. The balloon
was constructed by Mr. Goulston; it is rather more than
40 feet in diameter, and will contain about 35,000 feet of
gas. It was entirely yellow, with the exception of the
zone or belt, which was scarlet.
The balloon was inflated early in the morning, near
theiCardigan's Arms, Kirkstall-road, and was conveyed
about eight o'clock to the gardens by means of ropes.
The distance was about a quarter of a mile. The in-
flation occupied three hours. The ascent took place
about ten minutes before seven in the evening; the bal-
loon rose almost perpendicularly, and a finer ascent was
never witnessed; the sun shining brilliantly at the time
caused the balloon to appear like a globe of fire.
After remaining in the air about three-quarters of an
hour, the aeronauts descended safely within a short dis-
tance of the railway station at Dewsbury, a distance of
eight or nine miles from the gardens.
Considerable dissatisfaction was caused on the appear-
ance of the balloon with only two persons in the car, it
being announced in the bills that the balloon was
capable of holding 60,000 feet of gas, and was capable
of ascending with twelve persons ; and, likewise, that
Lieutenant Gale would be accompanied by six persons,
whereas the balloon will only take four or five.

ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND EPSOM RAILWAY.
—Last evening, shortly before six o'clock, an accident
took place near the Sutton station, on the line of the
London and Epsom Railway, whereby a man named
William Manson, aged thirty-one years, received such
injuries that his life is at present despaired of. The
unfortunate man was a guard in the service of the
company, and shortly before the accident the train
stopped at the Sutton station, to take up passengers for
the London-bridge terminus. Tho signal being given,
the engine-driver started the train, which proceeded
very gently towards town. Immediately afterwards the
guard, who, it appears, was rather behind time, jumped
on to one of the carriages; he mounted the roof, and
before he could get to his seat, his head came in contact
with one of the bridges, by which he sustained some
shocking injuries. The unfortunate man was taken to
Guy's Hospital, and at present remains in a very pre-
carious condition.

THE QUEEN'S BALL.—Sir E. Bulwer Lytton was
not present at the ball at Buckingham Palace on Friday,
a recent domestic affliction not having permitted him the
honour of attending.

CIVIL ENGINEERS' INSTITUTION
MAY 16. (Jos, ua Field, Esq., President, in the chair.)
No paper was read, in order to afford time for the dis-
cussion of Mr. Gooch's paper on the resistance to railway
trains at different velocities, which was read at the meet-
ing of April 18.
The principal speakers were Messrs. Brunei, Gooch,
Bidder, Locke, Harding, and Russell, and their argil"
ments were necessarily so complicated by calculations as
to render it difficult to convey, within reasonable limits,
even an outline of the discussion.
It was contended, on one side, that this subject bad
been so treated in the paper as to make it almost a ques-
tion of the comparative gauges ; that the experiments
upon which the arguments were founded could not be
received as applicable to railways in general, inasmuch
as it was presumed from the statements that the portion
of the line was selected as being in the best working COw
dition ; that the engine and the carriages were also
picked as being in the best order; and that therefore the
results were due to these peculiar circumstances, and net
to the ordinary working state of the line ; _ that the
amount of resistance per ton was understated by Igr'
Gooch, on these accounts, and that of the rate of resist-
ance, arrived at by, the committee of the British MO;
ciation, by projecting trains of carriages down inclined
planes, was nearer the truth than the expression of resist•
ante arrived; at with the locomotive and the dynamome:
ter; that the tables were partly made up from the edit
results of the experiments, and by using Mr. Harding
formula, which had been repudiated in other cases 6s
.
incorrect; that the greater weight of the trains id t,1:17
late experiments, as compared with those of the Brill
Association, &c., reduced the value of the deductions►
that the atmospheric railway could alone give the resist,
ance due to the frontage, which was not given vibe°
locomotive was used, as it covered a portion on the el;
riage frontage, and the dynamometer being
.behind the
engine, the resistance of the train of carriages i,
could be arrived at, and that the valuation of the pressq::
of the wind upon the train at various angles was not Set,
factory. such was the general tenor of the argunielin
and on the other side it was urged that Mr. Gooch
endeavoured, as much as possible, to avoid ititroden7
in any degree the question of the gauges, and to Po;
the results of the experiments, in order that every pest
examining them might draw his own conclusions;,
the portion of the line on which Mr. Gooch's 0117;
ments were tried was not selected for its good conditiob;
that it was only fixed upon by Mr. Brunel hiniselitth
night previously to the experiments, and was 11(4 flaw
part which had been originally intended to be used;

the engines and carriages were such as could be.9Pfab

that they were not the best of their class; that Le-- but
the results were not due to peculiar circunistaneesftos

even bad the line, engine, and carriages been wit w
