RIOTS AT ALDERSROT.

ALDERSHOT, July s.—Several slight disturbances took
place yesterday between eight and nine o'clock, p.m., in
some of the public-houses situated in or near the camp.
It appears that some of the troops that recently re-
turned from the Crimea, by the way of celebrating their
return to "merry old England," indulged rather freely.
Numbers of soldiers were seen in a state of great inso-
briety, the natural consequence of which was a regular
"set to." In two of those 4lens the Guards were fight-
ing with the let Royals ; in another place a disturbance
took place between the Guards and tae Germans. Order
was, however, speedily restored. The officer in com-
mand of the German Legion, having been informed of
the row, ordered the alarm to be sounded for his corps ;
and I am informed by good authority that at roll call
no man belonging to the German Legion ‘‘al missing
or drunk.

THE LATE coLuaroN IN THE MERSEY.

LIVERPOOL, Monday.—Full details of the awful col.:
lision off the Rock Lighthouse, between the Dublin
steamer Mail and the Belfast screw steamer Excelsior,
have been puislished to-day, from which the following
particulars have been obtained :
The passengers consisted principally of labourers, who
were coming over to the harvesting in this country, and
nearly the whole of these poor men were lying slumber-
ing on the main deck, under the spar deck. Many of
the poor creatures, from the violence of the concussion
aid the confusion and scrambling that ensued, fell into
the water and were drowned. Six were killed on the
spot, and the brains of some of them were scattered over
the windlass and the damaged gearing of the fore part of
the vessel. Their sufferings were short, but must have
been fearfully intense ; they were jammed tee pieces by
the bow of the Excelsior as they lay quietly in their
places. It was an awful, indescribable spectacle. The
dead and the wounded were in a heap together ; mew
who, a few minutes previously, were stout and pt'werful,
were now lying still in death—mutilated and frightful
corpses. It was thought at first that the Mail would
sink in a few minutes after the accident occurred, brit
fortunately she made no water, and upon the Excelsior
gettiag clear of the disabled vessel, which occupied a con-
siderable time, the Mail was able to proceed towasrds
Liverpool. The Excelsior, which we believe escaped
with trifling damage, left 15 fathoms of her chain and
her anchor in the bow of the Mail before the verse Is
were disentangled. Captain Bailie, without loss of
time, made fur the Clarence pier-head, where he landed
those of his passengers who had sustained no isjiiry.
The captain of the Excelsior did not stop, but proceeded
to sea. An inquiry into the cause of the collision will'
take place on Wednesday, before the coroner for Liver-
pool.
THE MURDER BY A SPANIARD.—It will be recollected
that, at the last session of the Central Criminal
Court, a Spanish seaman, named Bernardo Henriquezi
was convicted of the murder of one of his country.
men by stabbing him with a dagger, and he was sen-
tenced to death. It seemed that there had been some
scuffle at au earlier period of the day in which the
transaction took place between the prisoner and
another seaman, during which he received some injury,
and it appeare:l by the evidence that the prisoner
stabbed the deceased. man withcut having received any
provocatiou. The jury, under these circurnsttances,
were counselled to find the prisoner guilty of murder ;
but the whole of the facts having been laid before- the
Secretary of Sate for the Home Department, he consi-
dered himself justified in recommending the prisoner to
the clemency of the Crown, and an order was on Satur-
day received atNewgate, commuting the capital sentence'
ta one of trani-portatioe for 20 years.

LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 8, 1856.

The WENSLEYDALE Peerage Compromise Bill
last night received a second reading in the House
of Commons. Its reception was, however, very
different from that accorded to it in the tipper
House. In place of everything passing smoothly,
and with almost perfect unanimity, there were
many members able and willing to expose its de-
fects, and the palpable job that will thereby be
effected. Scarcely a single one of its supporters
spoke without qualification in its favour. The
best that could be said of it was, that it would be
something better than the system now in opera-
tion, and that there was but little chance of per-
suading a majority of the co-ordinate branch of
the Legislature to surrender the shadow of a
jurisdiction to which they clung with desperate
tenacity, although they had long since surren-
dered the substance. It would, of course,
be absurd to suppose that men could be
hereditary judges or lawyers, although they
might be hereditary legislators. In order,
then, to preserve the show it was necessary
to recognise a legal fiction worthy of MIINCIIA USEN
himself, and to constitute an imperium in imperio.
tinder this plan the appeal was to the Lords, but
all Lords were not admitted to share in the judg-
ment. The great majority of Peers were excluded,
and none but those who had previously held, or were
holding, certain judicial situations were allows I to
Participate in the proceedings. It is true that
an unhappy "Dummy" was occasionally compelled
to yawn through a tedious sitting in order to
make a House, as there was no security that even
two of the privileged number could be induced to
attend. But, however protracted the arguments,
none could be called on for more than a single
day, or induced, save in cases of general interest,
to take part a second time in the solemn farce.
Why, then, desire to continue the mockery? Their
Lordships seem to think it adds to their dignity
and importance. We confess that we cannot see
it in that point of view ; but de gustibus non est
dtsputandum. They therefore resolutely rejected
a transfer of the appellate jurisdiction to a more
eompetent tribunal, or the permission to infuse
new, blood into their own body by the addition of
Lite Peers. We confess that we fully concurred
in the latter decision, inasmuch as we felt that
these were not the times to add to, or revive, the
obsolete alleged prerogatives of the Crown. But
'there was no possible reason why a new tri-
bunal should not be constituted, duly qualified
for the arduous and important duties that would
devolve upon it, or why the Judicial Committee
of the Privy Council should not be substituted for
the quasi House of Lords. The better course was
clearly perceptible, but to gratify aristocratic pre-
judice Parliament was called on to follow the in-
ferior one, and to sanction a measure which its
host talented supporters were compelled to admit
to be little better than a mere " make-shift."

We have already explained the chief features
nt the bill 110V7 before the House. It authorises
the creation of two Deputy-Speakers (at salaries
of 6,0001. per annum each), an extra charge on
the over-burdened tax-payers, and any Life Peer
Who shall have filled any of certain high judicial
offices, for not less than five years, may be ap-
pointed thereto, and a Life Peer appointed Chan- I
cellor, or to either of the Deputy-Speakerships
may be admitted to sit and vote in the House,
provided that not more than four Life Peers shall
be so admitted at the same time. The Court
may also sit to hear and decide during the Pro-.

rogation of Parliament, so as not to remain neces-

sarily idle during the greater portion of the year.

These are the chief features of the Bill—and it
will, we believe, by all not entitled to the privi-

ogee of the Peerage, be considered as neither one
thing nor the other—offering neither a good
House of Lords nor a good appellate tribunal.

It would have a tendency to }degrade the men
thus pitchforked into the Peerage, although not
possessing the hereditary attribute. They would
be looked down on by the more highly-
favoured Peers, would feel that they were
" with them, but not of them." They
would, besides, be receiving high payment
for duties which others were discharging for
nothing, another distinction which could not fail
to operate greatly to their prejudice. Besides, if
the tribunal consisted of the Lord Chancellor and
two Deputy-Speakers only—how would its deci-
sions be more respected than those of the Lord
Chancellor and the Lords Justices of Appeal, who
could be chosen from the best men in the profes-
sion and without limitation of any kind ! A less
apprenticeship than five years may clearly esta-
blish the possession o f exalted judicial functions,
but still the services of the party could not be
made available, however great the exigency,
until he had served his full term. It is manifest,
then, that the bill is but a compromise, not sup-
plying the best remedy for the admitted grievance,
and as such it ought to be rejected. The Lords
themselves unhesitatingly threw out the compro-
mise offered by the Commons in reference to the
Oath of Abjuration Bill. Why should the Com-
mons treat them with greater ceremony, or accept
such a miserable bantling for sound and whole-
some legislation ?

The second reading was carried by a majority
of 49, there being 191 for and 142 against it.
But it has still to pass through committee, and .to
weather the rocks and quicksands that obstruct
the final entry into port. Let the Commons only
do their duty and we shall next year have some-
thing really useful, that will not enhance the blots
on the national escutcheon, or add further illus-
tration to the blunders of legislation that have
been so frequently and loudly deplored by jurists.

At the very time when the roses are again
blooming in the Temple Gardens—blighted no
longer by the London smoke very recently swal-
lowed up by Act of Parliament—it is proposed to
remove the National Gallery from its present site
in Trafalgar-square upon the plea that the carbon-
laden atmosphere of the metropolis is prejudicial
to the national paintings. A most inappropriate
moment, surely, to have chosen for such a really
preposterous argument—for an argument implying
that pigments are more susceptible to atmospheric
influences than the most delicate blossoms of the
parterre ! Hitherto we might have contented
ourselves with bringing into court as witnesses
whose evidence goes directly counter to the state-
ments so very pertly advanced by the abettors
of the Kensington Gore project—Philosophers of

European reputation, men of science no less emi

nent than the greatest of all living Masters in
every branch of Optics, and the distinguished
experimentalist who is incomparably the first of
our contemporary Chemists and Electricians. Pro
fessor FARADAY and Sir DAVID BREWSTER have
both of them pronounced decisively against the
notion of the air of the capital being injurious to
the surface of the paintings hanging upon the
walls of the National Gallery. With their great
names we may now couple the very humble ono of
a practical working-man—honest SAMUEL BROOME,
of the Inner Temple Gardens. The Fullerian
Professor, whose genius has been principally
manifested by the astonishing results of his recon-
dite investigations into the reJiprocal relations of
heat, light, magnetism, and electricity—has spoken
distinctly and positively upon the subject of the
supposed evil influences of the London atmosphere
upon the pictures adorning the walls of the
National Gallery. So also, for that matter, has
the learned biographer of NEWTON, the discoverer

of the stereoscope, and the elucidator of the great
law of the angle of polarisation. Yet neither
BREWSTER nor FARADAY has adduced upon the
particular matter before ua any fact more directly
to the purpose, more positive and point-blank in
its application to it, than plain SAMUEL BROOME,
gardener of the Inner Temple Gardens !* The
roses—once the glory of those old gardens, but
for a long while past " kept down " by
the smoke reeking from the chimneys of
the London houses, and from the funnels of the
river steamers—have again, be tells us, in the
June and July of 1856, made their welcome
reappearance. Yet, precisely at the very time
when this conclusive attestation of the efficacy of
the recent act of Parliament for the purification
of the atmosphere of the metropolis, by rendering
the consumption of its smoke compulsory upon
its inhabitants, becomes known—H.R.H. and
H.R.H.'s abettors in the Court-hobby about.
the Kensington Gore market gardens, insist upon
the necessity of removing the National Gallery
from Trafalgar-square, because, forsooth, of the
serious injury inflicted upon the National collec-
tion of pictures, by the heavily-carbonised London
atmosphere. In demonstration of the ultra-
absurdity of this plea in favour of the proposed
site at Kensington Gore, in preference to the old
(existing) site in Trafalgar-square—we need only
point to the fact recently announced by SAMUEL
BROOME, the gardener of the Inner Temple Gar-
" dens, to say nothing of the authoritative scientific
evidence formerly given before Lord ELCHO'S
Committee of 1852, by Sir DATID BREWSTER, and
Professor FARADAY. As affording conclusive
testimony of the safety of the National paintings,
if still kept in Trafalgar-square, we need only, in
fact, point to the beautiful trees now blooming in
the old Temple Gardens, blooming as freshly as
(according to SHAKSPERE'S lovely historic phantasy)
they bloomed some centuries back, in the days of
our Sixth HARRY, where in that same old garden
of the Temple, SOMERSET and WARWICK plucked
the rival flowers in the presence and at the behest
of RICHARD PLANTAGENET. Wherefore, in the
presence, as it were, of those fragrant blossoms
of the old Inner Temple Gardens, as the interlo-
cutors said of old in SHAKSPERE'S HENRY VI.,
Part 1., Act ii., sc. 4—applying their allusions
now to the ridiculous Court-hobby of a National
Gallery at Kensington Gore--
"' Let him that is a true-born gentleman,
And stands upon the honour of his birth,
If he suppose that I have pleaded truth,
From off this briar pluck a white rose 'with me.
Let him that is no coward, nor no flatterer,
Bud dare maintain the party of the tr uth,
Pluck a red rose from off this thorn with me."
Blooming still in the old Temple Gardens, the
red rose and the white still Sourish there as of
old, no longer, hewever, as the rival, but rather
a 3 the blended badges of truth against Courtly
flatterers.

* The Roses in Temple Gardens.—Samuel Broome, the
gardener of the Inner Temple Gardens, records the re-ap-
pearance in the gardens of ros es, for some time kept down
by the smoke of the steamers. " Thanks (he says) to our
legislators they passed an act t o make that abominable nui-
s•ence di geontinue. Such have been the results of this, that
lam happy to inform you th is year my poor roses, that
have been in the gardens so z nany years, are now fast rE-
coverinz their health, and shot r that they will not cease to
blow; for I have a great mai iy white ones coining, and
red also, and the plant bids 1 well for healthy wood for
another year. The poor forest trees also are making shoots
much better, although the spri og has been so unfavourable
to vegetation ; in fact, everything in the garden is greatly
improved in health and vigour. "—Newspaper paragraph.

The right man in th 4 s right place, and the
wrong man as fast out of i t as possible—may or
may not be an improvemont on that expression
of the popular sentiment but in either case
pretty closely describes our. own. 717 he right man

in the right place—put there—supported there—
kept there : the wrong man not tolerated there
—summarily warned from thence—ejected from
thence, if necessary, is what we want. We 'have
a QUEEN regnant--a right woman in the right
place, and her we would support and maintain
in that place to the best of our ability, and with
all the loyal zeal becoming freemen. But a
Prince-regnant—that is something we cannot
tolerate, and any such pretender we would have
ejected from a position to which he can have no
right, and in which he can do nothing but mis- ,
chief. We have a Premier, too, such as ha is,
theoretically responsible for his acts, and
amenable to public justice. A Premier, at least
thus responsible, we would have, living in hope
of a better. .Bat a Premier behind the nominal
Premier, moving him as a puppet is moved in the
dark, invested with no responsibility, and
fenced round with immunities, is what we would
not have, and what ought not to be tolerated a
moment longer than can be helped.
The right man in the right place. And that,
we take it, may be said of Prince ALBERT when
he forgets his German leanings and plays, as he
ought to do like an Englishman, the part of patron
of art and science in this country. To his occu-
pation of such a position, under suck a proviso,
we can take no exception, and while he discharges
its duties in a commendable manner no feeling we
may entertain will debar us from according him a
due meed of praise. Unfortunately hitherto op-
portunity has not been given us for dispensing
much of the latter article, consequently we are all
the better pleased nowthatwe are able to do a little
in that way. His Royal Highness, it will be observed,
has written a letter to the Earl of ELLESMERE in
relation to the proposed Exhibition of Art Treasures
in Manchester in 1857. The perusal of it, we
are happy to say, has afforded us considerable
satisfaction. It is the most English letter we
remember him to have written, and not least so
in the practical good sense it evinces. Manches-
ter, we doubt not, will be pleased with it, and if
the advice it contains be followed we have little
doubt the Exhibition will prove successful.
H.R.H., it will be seen, is of opinion that the
possessors of valuable pictures may be reluctant
to incur the hazard and inconvenience of trans-
mitting their choicest treasures of art merely for
the gratification of curiosity and the giving an
intellectual entertainment. to the dense population
of a particular locality. To obviate this difficulty
he proposes the investment of the undertaking with
the halo of utility. No country, he tells the noble
president, invests a larger amount of capital in
works of art of all kinds than England, and in
none almost is so little done for art education.
Determine that the proposed Exhibition shall
have the higher character of an educational expo-
sition, illustrating the history of art in a chrono-
logical and systematicarrangement, and their way
will be clear, and they will be enabled to present
to the world for the first time a gallery such as
no other country could produce. Possibly some
objection might be taken to one or more of
H.R.H.'s dicta, and some sharp remarks made on
others, but of the wisdom of his recommendation,
if followed in a genial spirit, there can be no
doubt, and we are persuaded the Committee will
not be the last to appreciate it. As a public
benefactor, of course out of the political sphere,
his Royal Highness would always be welcome,
and has still abundant opportunity to regain his
lost popularity. Let us hope he will see this,
and, warned by both the past and the present,
resolve outside the family circle to meddle with
no other role.

DEATH OF THE RIGHT HON. GEORGE BANKES.—
We regret to announce that the Cursitor Baron of the
Exchequer, the Right Hon. George Bankes, died on
Sunday, at his house, No. 5, Old Palace-yard, in the
69th year of hi 4 age. The deceased gentleman was the
son of Henry 13ankes, Esq., of Kingston Hall, Dorset.
He was called to the bar in 1813 ; was appointed a corn•
missioner of Bankrupts in 1822, and afterwards Cursitor
Baron of the Exchequer. Was Secretary to the Board
if Control from May, 1829 to Feb., 1830, and Judge Ad-
vocate General from March to Dec., 1852. In politics
he was a Conservative. Ile sat for Corfe Castle from
1816 to 1832. He was returned for the county of Dor-
set in 1841, the representation of which becomes vacant
by bis decease.

The American advioes this week describe an improve-
merit in the stock market, owing to the political and
monetary advices from this side reporting an advance
in Consols, a rapid increase of bullion at the Bank, and
a diminished probability of the dismissal of Mr. Dallas.
The bullion in the New York banks also had experi-
enced a further increase, and money was in good supply
at 7 per cent. Eris Railway was quoted at 68i ; Read-
ing, 914 ; Panama, 1041 ; acd Illinois Central Bonds,
88. Nicaragua Transit had fallen to 10, the lowest
point yet touched. From Central America there was
nothing new, beyond rumours of a movement against
Walker being characteristically contemplated by Guate-
mala, San Salvador, and Honduras, at the moment
when the withdrawal of the Costa Ricans, from whom
they withheld support, has rendered the attempt hope-
less.
