THE MUTINY OF THE THIRD GERMAN

JAG E RS.

PLYMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.
Colonel John Kinloch, lospectgr-General of British 2
Foreign Legions, visited the quarters of the two com-
panies of the 3d Jager Corps, stationed at Devonport, at
.9 o'clock this morning ;at 10 o'clock hA was in Ply. I
.mouth Citadel, and at two this afternoon he was at the 2
head-quarters of the corps at Maker Heights, near 2
Mount-Edgecumbe. Colonel Kinloch informed the men
that he had been d►rected by the War Secretary to state
that in consequence of the disorderly conduct which
prevailed in some of the companies the whole of the 3d _
Jager Corps was to be disbanded. They were, however,
expected to obey orders up to the last moment of their 2
sera ice. The Government had determined to give each 1
marl 12 months' pay, and provide them with free pas-
aag es either to Germany or America. Excepting a small
ad'eance to purchase necessaries previous to embarkation 4,
tin) whole cf the pay would be given to them on arriving
at the place of their destination. It is stated that some ji
days since the officers were informed, by a written cum- u
intnication, that they would receive three months' pay 11
When the corps was disembodied.
A general Court-Martial was held to-day at Govern-
ment-house, Mount Wise, on Sergeant Collins, belong-
ing to Captain S. Von Scuartzenhom's Company No. 3,
stationed at Drake's Island. He is accused of personal
acts of insubordination on the parade at Maker towards
the Commander of the Forces in the West, Major-
General Eden, and towards his own commanding I
°Meter, Colonel Bowles. The sentence is not yet pro-
inulgated. The prisoner is confined at Maker Heights.
The men of No. 6 Company who refused obedience
to C aptain Axel Von Jessen, at Bovisand, have not had
their arms restored to them, but continue under arrest
in the Citadel.

II ER mitrEscrs THEATRE.

Last night "La Sonnambuia " was performed here,
the roe of Al Ilion being taken by Alboni. She does
not quite come up to the idea of the village maiden who
pines under false suspici ii, nor of, one liaely to get out
of attic windows and walk safely over a plank and
brolt,n walls, hut, in spite of her personal disadvantages,
A.ll:oni sings E,llini s music with consummate grace and
beauty ; arid in thus essaying characters which belong
to voicts of a purely soprano register, shows that she
Fah never be unwelcome iu anything she undertakes.
Toe opening cavwina, " C tine per me seretio," was a
masterly display of vocal art, and exhibited a species of
fine-hed execution and choice of ornament at once origi-
nal and felicit.ms. The duet with Elvino was also a
sweet eff,rt. The air, "Ah non credea," we have never
known given with more feeling, or witnessed a pr“-
fon de, effe .t upon the audi nce. Signor Caiz taxi was
the Etviim, and we could not wish a better; his singing
wag fr.ultless. Beneventano took the part of Redolpho,
but indifferent success. Liza was personated by
'idle. Rizz, who did full justice to the character, anti
Ibtained an encore in the air " Da lie,j."

-idered that a steel drill was infinitely safer in its use
than any other kind of metal for that purpose. In the
shed where the accident occarroil two kinds of composi-
tion were need, which—in reply to eaquestion from one
of the jury, he said--being a mixture of steel flings—
were not erdraordinarily dangerous, not so meet so as the
ordinary war rockets ; the other was a brilliant composi-
tion, mixed up with charcoal. Had seen cases where for
applying a fuse for a particular range the shell had to be
bored through, in doing which the borer became much
heated. Was very particular in preparations to discard
anything of a gritty substance. Toe materials, when pre-
pared, were coated with marine ;due for safety. The late
accident was undoubtedly occasioned by over-heat. There
was no necessity for the bit to penetrate the composition.
Accidents of that kind were less probable with a lathe
than by any other method of boring. Had given orders
that no accumulation should be kept in the shed.
There were several cases lined with copper and full,
which were untouched. If the mad had had presence
of mind he could have extinguished the rocket without
accident ; instead of which it was thrown ainong the
squibs. They had other preparations much more dan-
gerous. Although he knew that the greates; possible
precaution was ordered, he was in a constant state of
anxiety, and continually paid visits to the whole of the I
departments to observe that all due cautioa was used
throughout. A burn from gunpawder was much more
severe than from any other material. The hole might
have been choked—a gouge or sponnbit might be less
dangerous, and should be tried. It was very natural
that information should be gained by these occurrences.
William Toser was next called.—He said he was
manager of the composition, and was in the shed three
minutes before the accident. Had attempted himself to
bore a rocket With the outer case on, and bad broken '
two bits in so doing. The facility of boring was much
greater without the brass case, and as it could be held
much more easily he considered it safer to bore without
the case. Supposed that the bit was forced too fur into
the rocket while overheated. In order to gain all the
assistance in their power, they were aided by a pyro-
technical artist, Iqr. Southbv, whose son was one of
their foremen. There were 2,000 squibs and one metal-
lined case of starshells at the time of the accident.
By one of the Jur mai.—We have had no difficulty
since the accident in procuring men to wGrk at the same
process. Not a single man has given notice that he
wished to leave his employ. My opinion is that there
was a want of caution on the part of the deceased. I
have not offered higher wages since the accident. I am
certain no man is required to work immoderate'y quick.
None of the men are tasked to do any quantity of work.
Captain Boxer sometimes remains halt an hour directing
the labourers.
It being now half-past 3 o'clock the Coroner proposed

AUSTRIA.

The semi-official joutnal, the Dusseldorf Gazette,
has the following under date of Vienna, 15th :
" Austria is now endeavouring to effect a reform
of tha Germanic Confederation, and one of such a
kind that the different sovereigns would renounce
a part of their power, although it certainly is not
through that Austria will make the same abandon-
ment for her German possessions. Austria an-
nounces that theZAlverein will terminate in 1861),
in order that Germany may be confounded with
the Austrian monarchy, and an empire of central
,Europe be thus prepared by degrees. Austria
nas brought over to her cause a number of the
organs of the press, not only in Austria, but in
Paris and at Frankfort. The future condition of
Gerinany will not be decided on without some
difficulty, for when the voice not only of Prussia,
but of the rest of Germany, shall be heard, it will
be by a positive negative that the projects of
Austria will be replied to. Germany will not allow
herself to be absorbed in an empire of central
Europe. That would bo a backward step in the
spontaneous development of nations, and the loss
of the great intellectual liberty of Germany."
A letter from Vienna, of the 14th, in
the Swabian Mercury, says " The notes
exchanged between the Cabinets of Vienna and
Paris on Italian affairs have bad a satisfactory
result, and the two States have agreed on the'
policy to be followed in Italy, The memorandum
which Austria and France are on the point of
sending collectively to Rome is the best proof of
this. It contains several proposals relative to the
reforms to be wrought in Rome, which are based
on the secularisation of the administration. Count
do Buol has had several conferences with the Papal
nuncio, Cardinal Viale Prela, on the subject ; but
it would appear that the overtures mid° by this
prelate have not given complete satisfaction, for
they inspire doubt with respect to the goodwill of
the Roman court to effect the secularisation of the
government."

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The show of English wheat in to.day's market was mo.
derate, and chiefly composed of Monday's unsold samples.
Very few large buyers were in attendance, and the demand
for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled heavy, at
Monday's prices.
Thera was very little inquiry for foreign wheat, yet no
change took place in the quotations.
The supply of barley was moderate, and the trade was
heavy, at barely stationary prices.
Malt was dull, but not cheaper.
There was a fair demand for oats, at very full prices.
Beans, peas, and flour realised Monday's currency.

After all that has been circulated on the sub-
ject of a Secret. Treaty, it now appears that there
has been nothing of the-kind: Lord PALMERSTON
last night declared that the only treaty concluded
was that which had been laid on the table. This
is very satisfactory, although we confess that we
should have been better pleased if the Premier
had met with a simple negative the question of the
Marquis of GRANBY. We must, however, recollect
that the Noble Lord is an Irish Peer ; he may,
therefore, have followed the precedent supplied by
an Irish witness who, in reply to what he considered
an impertinent and improper interrogatory, said,
" By the virtue of my oath I did not, and whether
I had done so or not I would give the same an-
swer 1." Lord PALMERSTON declared that if there
had been a Secret Treaty he should be excused from
making it public, and contrived to excite a laugh
from the "waiters on PROVIDENCE" at the expense
of honest JOSEPH HUME, who was not living to de-
lord himself—either by denying, or explaining
away, the amusing anecdote. We shall say no-
thing respecting the good taste of the allusion.
That is a point on which every man may judge for
himself. But it is gratifying to know that we
are not privately bound to Austria, to even a
greater extent than that contained in the separate
Treaty of the 15th April.
Mr. Drsiteera, in his speech on the Budget,
showed how far our representatives had gone in
entering into such a contract, and the effect which
it mast have on the mind.s of the people of Eu-
rope—and more especially of Italy. Whether
the effect will be all that has been supposed ;
whether it may be to rivet the shamus of
Austrian despotism on Italy, and paralyse
the exertions of our brave and faithful Sar
diuian Allies, may be doubted ; but certainly
it is calculated to produce such results, and, in
whatever point of view it mty be regarded, must
be considered as a peculiarly infelicitous and un-
toward result of the secret diplomacy so strenu-
ously insisted on by the friends of the Coburg-
Garman influence, now so prevalent in every de-
partment of the State.

CELESTINA SONIERS.

Mr. WARREN asked the Secretary for the Home
Department whether the advisers of the Crown, in re-
commending a c Cm: nutation of the seitenee of death
lately passed o Celestine. Somers at the Central Crimi-
nal Court for the murder of her child, had obtained the
report and taken the opinion of the judge by whom she
had been tried ; and, if so, whetner there was any
objection to laying them before the house ?"
6'4 G. GREY said the Secretary of State was exclu-
sively answerable for recommending a commutation of
the sentence in this instance. He did not feel himself
justified in laying the opinion of the learned judge who
tried the case on the table of the house. It was a con-
fidential communication to the Rome Secretary, and he
alone was responsible for the commutation of the sen-
tence.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

STA—Can any of your readers enlighten me as to the
services of Lieutenant-General Vivian during the late
war with his corps of Turks ? or were his actions so ad-
vantageous to the country on the banks of the Bos-
phorus as to entitle bins to be appointed a Government
Director of the East India Compsny, under the recent
act, at a salary of 1,2001. per annum, and the usual
patOmage ? Sir Colin Campbell, Sir De Lacy Evans,
Sir Richard England, and other general officers who
have served in the Crimea, must hide their diminished
heals for the future when the gallant services of this
child of Fortune, a lieuteeant-gerieral, are placed is the
scale against them. Perhsps another lucky general ap-
pointed uoder him to conrnand a division may have had
a hand in it—the son-in-law of Lord Harding:a. There
is an old vulgar saving, trite but true, " Scratch me,"
&c. However, I shall anxionsly look out in your
journal for the war services of Vivian in India and the
Crimea to show forth the career that entitled him to the
above munificent reward. Those service, must have
had him ro dinnir. &c., lately at Buckingham Palace.
He in.iy b, a dashing officer ; but whoever reads the sup-
plementary paper recently issued on the fail of ICsrs
may ferm their own conclusion on that point, and may
bless their stars that they were riot like the brave Gen.
Williams, depending on sects a general to aff ,rd
when it c mulni have been so if there was the wish How
the hero of K ire roust feel when he perii:ies the said
document, and the obstacles thrown in the way by those
who ought to have been the fir- 1,- to have volunteered to
relieve him. Sech a mass of special pleading, at the in-
stigation of others, it has never been my fate to have
read, and unworthy of a British officer. It is looked
on by military men aed the public, and those with the
slightest feeling of honour or soldier like feeling, with
the most infinite contempt.—l remain, Sir, your obe.
dient servant,

THE CITY 003111ISSIONER OF POLICE.

Alderuian CoPELAiiD, in moving that the letter of Mr.
Commissiimer Harvey, dated April 22,1856, he referred
to the General Purposes Committee, to consider the same
and report thereon to the Court, said that the cemmis-
4oner hal served the City for a great many years with
great zeal, fidelity, and talent. It was well known and
acknowledged by the commercial community of London
that the City police were not exceeded as a body by any
police in the world, and that, with the aid of the tele-
graph and under the of their able head, innu-
merable attempts to oommit seriotta. plundft Wit-been
fru4trated, and extensive robberies bad been detected
and punished. Under such circumstances, he had no
doubt toe corte.ration would mark their approbation of
the exertions of Mr. Harvey, and take into considera-
tion the manner in which the metropolitan police com-
missioners were recom to ended as aguide for their decision.
Aldcraian Fisms sec ended the motion, and referred
to the various cases in which the City police had recov•
ered great amounts of property, as evidence of the ad-
mirable system introdue )d by the commissioner.
Alderman WIRE felt great plea,ure in stating that NI
had good grounds for assuring the court that the Court
of Common C .until would heartily approve of and act
upon the recommendation. (Hear.)

the roe of Atnina being taken by Alboni. She does
not, quite come up to the idea of the village maiden who
pines under false suspici nn, nor of one lieely to get out
of attic windows and walk safely over a plank and
brok-n wells, but, in spite of her personal disadvantages,
Alloni sings Bsllines music with consummate taace and
beauty ; and in thus essaying characters which belong
to voices of a purely soprano register, shows that she
can never be unwelcome in anything she undertakes.
Tne opening cavwina, " Gune per me serene.," was a
masterly display of vocal art, and exhibited a species of
fini-hed execution and choice of ornament at once orio'.
nal and felicitous. The duet with E',ino was, alsoa
sweet eff.:rt. The air, "Ah non credea," 7.e have never
known given with more feeling, or frituened a pr
fou::der effeA upon the audi-ncet Signor Calz'ilari was
the Elvin., and we conui
wish a batter; his singing
was 1-mitless. Benever:cano took the part of Rodolpho,
ai h but in-lifferer:. Liza was personated by
Mdle. Rizzi, Woo did full justice to tie character, and
obtained an. encore in the air " De lioti."
