Two Summer Cruises with the Bailie Fleet in

1854-5. By the Rev. R. E. Hughes, M.A.
Smith, Elder, and Co.
Who will say that "Britannia" ought not to
" rule the waves" after reading " The Log of the
Pet," the daintiest, sauciest, and tiniest little crea-
ture that ever braved the storms of the Baltic.
Only fancy a yacht of eight tons burden—a vessel
positively no larger than "a moderate-sized draw-
ing-room, and scarcely so wide as a four-post bed,
with a cabin ten feet long by ten in breadth"—
threading the maze of the gigantic battle-ships of
England and France before the frowning batteries
of Bomarsunl7-nay, with surpassing audacity ac-
tually running in alone, and laughingly pursuing
a tour of observation evithin range of the guns of
Sweaborg amid a storm of missiles magnani-
mously (?), but we are glad to add ineffectually,
discharged at her by the heroic (?) defenders of
that formidable stronghold. And commanded by
whom ? By some fire-eating, weather-beaten sea
captain, or some " sucking Nelson ?" Nothing of
the sort; but what adds to the audacity of the feat,
and constitutes an unheard-of feature in naval en-
terprise—actually by a parson ! a fellow no less
of Magdalen College, Cambridge, a high-spirited,
good-natured, sea-loving gentleman, well versed,
as becomes an Englishman, in the annals of naval
warfare, who with a younger brother and
two seamen formed the entire crew. Shades
of departed admirals—of Blake and Nelson
who were never so happy in this life as when blow-
ing up the foe—prick up your ears to listen to this!
And 0 ! ye cautious admirals, whose wits have
been loosened by the application of the screw, try
if you can't recover yourselves and emulate so
daring an example ! But we are positively falling
in love with the little Pet and her square-capped,
black-gowned, and cassocked commander. See
her there spreading her canvas to the wind and
buoyant as a cygnet gliding out of Lowestoft into
blue water, while her exultant skipper as good as
carols " I'm afloat, I'm afloat." Away she speeds,
three-fourths spar and sail, rapturously drinking
in the freshening breeze, her cutwater whisking a
shower of diamond spray over her arrowy bow, a
very fairy of the sea. Watch her, the conscious
beauty, as she leaves brig, and schooner, and smack,
port, harbour, mansion, village, and spire far be-
hind on her lee. As she throbbingly careers by the
bill of Camperdown, off which " Admiral Duncan
defeated De Winter and captured nine of his line-
of-battle ships and a brace of frigates." As she
skims over the dark rolling seas past Wenger Oog,
Langer Oog, and wo know not how many Oogs be-
side, until she approaches the mouths of the Elbe.
See how the coquettish little vixen trips it by the
grim sides of waddling flocks of British colliers,
laughs in her sleeve at the rough exclamations of
surprise that fall ;from the hardy north country
tars, and fairly dances with delight at the knot
and a half or three hours' stare of wonderment of
the Dutch skippers and their voluminous vrows.
Watch her as she saucily challenges the churning
paddles of the smoky steam-boats, and shoots like
an arrow through the whisking tide off Heligoland,
which runs all round the compass." As she dips
into the Eider, and pilot aboard works to wind-
ward over the ebb, amid the most vociferous greet-
ings in Platt Deutsch, from the dogger-looking
sloops of the Dutchmen. As, with true feminine
instinct, she takes the shore for a couple of hours'
toilet. As, again afloat, she glides slowly along the
high embanked river—. ibove the level of the countr
that same stream—and reciprocates her commander's
welcome to an occasional brace of " round wide
open eyes, awl a good-humoured grin, set in
a white feminine cep peering over the bank,"
by way of relief to the tops of the wind-
mills. As she leaves Tonning far astern, sets
the storks and herons agog with surprise,
and attracts the demure gaze and laughing greeting
of little bunches of peasant girls, in broad-brimmed
hats, stowed away atop of high-tottering loads of
hay in quaint German waggons, drawn by feminine
specimens of the bovine genus, alias cows ! As,
woe the while ! the clumsy pilot runs her into the
mud, "the dirty ground" of Rendsburgh. M 5
drawn through the locks, and dragging hundred-
weights of weeds astern, she approaches with the
demurest archness the actual abode of our
Anglo - Saxon forefathers along a vista of
embowering foliage interspersed with " grassy
hills, with clumps of timber, among which
repose good substantial gentlemen's houses, just
like dear old Devonshire." As she dips into the
Solent edged by picturesque trees whose branches.
threw their fitful shadows far into the sea, and
enlivened by English-looking houses that give her
clerical skipper the extatics. As weary of sobriety
she scampers merrily up to Kiel, and listens, with
the sauciest air imaginable, to the praises of the
admiring inhabitants, who come off in shoals to
gaze at her—the rarest of all the rarce aces that
have paid them a visit, and to inquire if she be-
' longs to " the great Mr. Pitt "—Sir Morton Peto,
in seal], who is constructing a railway, and is ac-
counted the greatest Englishman alive ! As she
springiugly bounds down Kiel Bay and naughtily
bears her clerical commander into the vicinity (not
immediate, of course) of a group of village girls,
who take to the water like Naiads, " and jump,
splash, and tumble iu the shallow waves, while
volleys of soprano screams and peals of feminine
laughter come trilling over the seas." As raising
her drooping head she glides down the bay and on
until off Femeren, where she is overtaken by a calm,
and, to her infinite disgust, has to "lie helpless
all the day in a sea of vermicelli soup." As lick-
ing up the breeze she wildly dashes onward, and
cutting in among the gun-boats at Copenhagen,
drops her anchor, and merrily contemplates at her
leisure their grotesque glances of wonderment.
As once more on her way she steals among a flock
of swans like a treacherous decoy, skims along the
Swedish coast and boldly challenges the admiration
of the Swedish sailors—hardy tars, " very like
Englishmen." As she wildly careers to the whirling
music of a Baltic breeze, dips her acknowledgments
to a French fleet making the Aland Islands, and
starts off at a tangent for Faro Sound, there to be
the seeming admiration of the lovely Misses Grubb,
ladies not guiltless of middicide, and shrewdly sus-
pected, let us say it iu a whisper, of clericide also.
As panting with excitement she steals among the
fleet, and conscious of being the cynosure of all
eyes mincingly recognises the grim smile, the per-
plexed hitch, or the gruff laug.le of officers and sea-
men, and the shrill treble of the impudent middies.
As boldly entering Lumpar Bay in the wake of the
"Cuckoo," she carols on the waves at sight of the
Russian forts, and listens with flapping sails to the
war of great guns. As waking from a trance she
returns from the siege bearing proudly her fire-eat-
ing commander homeward, and with clouded as-
pect hearkens to the sullen plunge of the black
waves as they beat against the rocky heights of
Elsinore. As in the North Sea she leaps like a
mad creature amid the howlings of a terrible storm
over the great rolling waves, that " glowing with
phosphoric light," come charging down in Indian
file upon her—coveringher deck with " liquid
flame." As sore tossed and beaten about, but
plucky and tempest proof to the last, she. makes
Lowestoft unawares, and runs panting into port
the wonder and admiration of everybody. As,
finally, daring a second voyage, she audaciously
pirouettes almost in the very Jaws of Sweaborg,
and, wilful as she is, quickens never a step, nortakes one the less, for all the stirring music of a
storm of shot and shell, especially got up for her
amusement ! The trim, taut, sail-spreading, co-
, quetaish, tiny, harum-scarum, audacious, perse-
vering, lea-, cygnet-like Pet ! Positively she has
run away with us and our time and space too; so
what we have to say further must be said in brief.

Reader, appropriate honestly it you can, " The
Log of the Pet," it will introduce you to your
full-blood relations of Denmark and Sweden, and
we promise you, if you prosecute the acquaint-
ance, you will have no cause for regret. It
will tell you better than any official despatch
what was done and left undone at Bemarsund and
Sweaborg, and possibly will throw some strong and
not delusive light—say " prudence " what it may
to the contrary—on the question of ships v. stone
walls. It will quicken your apprehension of the
assistance your gallant cousins of the North can
lend Old England against her barbarous foe in the
coming spring, and it will assure you that if ue er
a scarecrow of an ex-professional were to be
fi founentd,
we need never despair of picking up an
commander, when our black coats are to be found
asserting the perpetuation of the old Norse blood
among us, in th© person of a gallant M.A., Fellow
efci
of Cambridge, a black coat who has no superstition
in relation to stone walls, no remorse in applying
the screw to naval heads—can handle a sail with
an R.N., and brave the northern tempest in a
pleasure-boat with as much confidence as is to be
found in a three-decker, and will not show his
heels till lie has counted teweteh.

sharing the collegiate views of the author as to the
accuracy to be expected from a " special corres-

perusal of his account of the bombardment of
Cronstadt, with a descripiion of St. Petersburg as

MB. BALFE.--This gentleman has returned to Eng-
land after a most successful tow in Russia, Germany,
and Italy. In the latter he produced his opera " Mho
Bohemian Girl," under the title of "Lo Zingarck,"
with immense success.

The extraordinary expenses of the war will not
sound alarmingly to English ears. During 28
months 11,200,0001. have been expended. It
must be remembered that the Ottoman armies have
fought on their own ground, and according to a
very simple system. Othman or Bajazet could not
have provisioned their hordes in a more primitive
and effective manner. There exists nothing which
can be called a commissariat. Each commander of
a regiment looks to the feeding of his men, and in
Bulgaria or the Principalities the process is easy.
enough. The required amount of provisions is set-
tled, and a requisition is then made on thevillagers.
Of course in the Crimea a different procedure has
been necessary, and the chief part of the expenses
has no doubt arisen from the occupation of Eupa-
toria for so long a time by more than 50,000 men.
It is, however, wonderful that so large a force has
been under arms for so long a time at so little
cost. It was in the beginning of 1853. that the
Sultan's call to arms was responded to by the Muss
sulman population. The troops enrolled amounted
before the close of the year to a quarter of a million
of tuen. The document points out with justice
that, though Turkey, to resist Russia on the ono
side and Greece on the other, was obliged to main-
tain this immense force, yet she has successfully
maintained the war without the addition of any
new taxes, and without any external aid except
the. 2,500,0001. of the old loan, and 600,0001. of
the new. During a great part of this time the
Porte had three armies in presence of the enemy
—that of Omer Pasha on the Danube, the force
operating in Thessaly, and the force opposed to the
Russians in Armenia. The troops of Omer Pasha
were well supplied, for the safety of the empire
depended on their efforts. Thirteen years of tran-
quillity had enabled Turkey to discipline a large
army, and to provide it with effective arms and
suitable clothing. The best of these were with the
Pashas who commanded the Danube, and they
began the war in a fertile country after a most
abundant harvest. The troops in Thessaly suffered
much ; for weeks together they subsisted entirely
on biscuit, and before the close of the campaign their
clothes and shoes were unfit for wear. Yeb they
were led with much ability, and bore their priva-
tions without a murmur. The army of Asia was
sacrificed by the incapacity and venality of its
chiefs. From the beginning the men were hungry,
coatless, and shoeless • yet it is certain that the
Porto attached no little importance to the opera-
tions on this frontier, and devoted a large part of
its means to the Asiatic army. It does not appear
from the budget how the sums spent were distri-
buted ; but, if we may judge from known facts, it
is probable that much was wasted, and that with
regularity and economy an effective Turkish force
like that on the Danube may be supported at even
a smaller cost than these figures represent.
The necessity for keeping under arms such vast
armies now exists no more. In 1855 the Porte

had to provide for 122,000 regular troops, exclu-
sive of the Redifs and Bashi-Bazouks. The pay
of a soldier in the lino is only 20 piastres, or about
3,4., a-month, and, though the pay of the higher
officers is excessive, the State cannot be said to
obtain the services of its troops at too high a cost.
As nearly the whole army is now on Turkish
ground, and will probably be for the present en-
gaged only as a defensive force, the expenses will
be mewl). lessened. Clothing and materials of war
will form large items in the accounts, owing to the
increased price of all goods throughout the East,
and the rise of freights, caused by the number of
transports necessary fur the operations of the
Allies. The estimate of the total cost of the regu-
lar force for the past year is 2,320,0001. The Redifs
actually under arms amount to about 30,000
cavalry and 72,000 infantry; in exact numbers,
10J,827 men. These men have been placed as re-
gards pay and rations on an equality with the line,
and the total cost of the force amounts to 4710,000/.
fur the year 1855. The finances of Turkey have,
however, been eased during the past year by the
institution of the Turkish Contingent. Up to the
close of September '2,259 of the regulars and 7,741
of the Redifs have been taken into the pay of the
British Government. Since that time we believe
more than 10,000 Turks have been added to the

new force. The total Turkish army in the early
part of last year may therefore be estimated at
about 220,900 men, of whom half are regulars, a
third infantry Militia, and the rest Bashi-Bazouks.
It is not probable that any augmentation will
be necessary in the present year. On the con-
trary, if the COutingent succeed, nearly 30,000
men will be subtracted from the force which
Turkey will have to support. The Egyptian Con-
tingent of over 20,000 men will continuo to be at
the service of the Porte, at the cost of the mere
maintenance of the troops, which is estimated at
118,9001. for the ;year 1855. Although the Tur-
kish army was sent to Eupatoria in British vessels,
yet the expense of transport for 1855 is reckoned
at 515,000/. We may therefore form some con-
clusion as to the future cost of the Ottoman army.
At present the expenditure on the land forces seems
to be about 5,000,0001. a-year. This is, indeed, a
Great sum for so poor a country, and, if Turkey i 5.•
to bear her part in a long war, the loan lately gua-
ranteed cannot be the last.

UOIIIIITTAL OF TWO MILITARY OFFICERS FOR TRIAL
AT MALTA. —Tho Malta Times contains an accolust of
an examination and committal fee trial of two officers
whose misconduct at the cathedral church of Malta on
Christmas-day was described in a letter from Malta.
Tiiey are Lieut. Robert Hodson, Royal Artillery, and
Lieut. Alex. Nixon Montgomery, 7th Royal Fusiliers,
and they are charged with resisting the police in the
execution of their duty, and with having threatened the
po:ico with loaded fire-arms. During the hearing oflthe
case an act of violence took place which might have
been attended with very serious consequences. Some
60 or 70 soldiers rushed into the corridor of the Palace
of Justice, upsetting the constable on duty, it is sup.
posed with a view of rescuing the prisoners at the bar.
The iron gate leading to the courts was :nstautly closed
before the soldiers could gain an entrance, and the people •
rushing out of the crowded courts and joinine, them-
selves to the few policemen present, the soldiers became
alarmed and retreated, striking as they retired right and
left with their belts and sticks at the crowd in the street.
A fight ensued between the populace and the soldiery,
but fortueately no heads were broken. The town- major
arrived on the spot, and having ordered the men to their
barracks a stop was put to the disturbance. Nine sol-
dier 4 were, however, arrested, and a number of belts and
sticks taken. The men have been. handed over to the
military authorities fur trial by court-martial. Hodson
and Muntgornrry, who were pi evious to their being com-
mitted for trial confined in the cells under the Palace of
Justice, have been removed to the old prison, and by
der of the governor a picquet has been placed over •
filieca to insure the r safety.

Robt. Stephenson, Esq., M.P., President, in the chair.
The President, on taking the chair for the first time
since his election, handed in an address, which was read
by the secretary.
After a complimentary allusion to the addresses of his
predecessors, the President observed that he would apply
himself to the great question of British railways, which
were described as spreading, like a network, over Great
Britain and Ireland, to the extent of 8,054 miles com-
pleted—thus, in length, they exceeded the ten chief
rivers in Europe united, and more than enough of single
rails were laid to make a belt of iron round the globe.
The cost of these lines had been 286,000,0001.—equal
to one-third of the amount of the national debt. Already,
in two short years, there bad been spent more than one-
fourth of 286,000,0001. in the war in which England ass
engaged ; yet how small were the material advantages
obtained by the war in comparison with the results se-
cured by railways.
The extent of the railway works was remarkable. They
had penetrated the earth with tunnels to the extent of
more than 50 miles. There were 11 miles of viaduct in
the vicinity of the metropolis alone—the earth-works
measured 550,000,000 of cubic yards. St. Paul's, in
comparison with the mountain this earth would rear,
would be but as a pigmy beside a giant, for it would
form a pyramid a mile and a half in height, with a base
larger than St. James's-park.
Eighty millions of train miles were run annually on the
railways, 5,000 engines, and 150,000 vehicles composed
the working stock ; the engines, in a line, would extend
from London to Chatham ; the vehicles from London to
Aberdeen ; and the companies employed 90,400 officers
and servants ; whilst the engines consumed annually
2,000,000 tons of coals, so that in every minute of time
4 tons of coal flashed into steam 20 tons of water—an
amount sufficient for the supply of the domestic and other
wants of the town of Liverpool. The coal consumed was
almost equal to the whole amount exported to foreign
countries, and to one half of the annual consumption of
London.
In 1854, 111,000,000 of passengers were conveyed on
railways ; each passenger travelled an average of 12
miles. The old coaches carried an average of 10 passen-
gers, and for the conveyance of 300,000 passengers a day
12 miles each, there would have been required at least
10,000 coaches and 120,000 horses.
The receipts of the railways in 1854 amounted to
20,215,0001., and there was no instance on record in
which the receipts of a railway had not been of conti-
nuous growth even where portions of its traffic had been
abstracted by competition or new lines.
The wear and tear was great ; 20,00 tons of iron re-
quired to be replaced annually ; and 26,000,000 sleepers
annually perished ; 300,000 trees were annually felled to
make good the leis of sleepers ; and 300,000 trees could
be grown on little less than 5,000 acres of forest land.
The president considered at some length how these an-
nual depreciations should be met. The principle of a re-
newal fund was questionable. After a certain period in
the history of every railway deterioration reached an
annual average ; and as that annual depreciation became
a charge as fixed and certain as the cost of fuel or the
salaries of officers, it should be admitted as an annual
charge against receipts.
As regarded fares, the interests of the companies and
of the public were identical. Companies must regulate
fares by consideration of the circumstances which pro-
duced the largest revenue; and the circumstances which
produced the largest revenue were those which induced
the greatest number of individuals to travel. Nothing
was so profitable as passenger traffic, as it cost less, in
every way, than goods, and an average train would carry
200 passengers. The cost of running a train was over-
stated at ls. 3d. per mile, and 100 passengers at d. per
mile produce 6 58. 2Ail. But this argument did not imply
that in all cases fares should be fixed at a minimum.
Minimum fares were most profitable on short routes ;
but the public were too much occupied to be tempted by
minimum fares to undertake long journeys. High rates
of speed and increased comforts were then required, and
these might be charged for. Every case, therefore,
should be treated in consideration of its local circum-
stances.
The postal facilities afforded by railways were very
great. But for their existence Mr. Rowland Hill's plan
never could have been effectually carried out. Railways
afforded the means of carrying bulk, which would have
been fatal to the old mail coaches. Every Friday night
at present, when the weekly papers were transmitted,
eight or ten vans were now required for Post-office bags
on the North-Western Railway; and this use of eight
or ten railway vans implied, at the least, the employ-
ment of 14 or 15 mail coaches ; and the expenses of 14
or 15 mail coaches to 'Birmingham could never have
been sustained by a penny postage. For this great
blessing, therefore, the nation had to thank the railways.
They were the great engines for the diffusion of know-
ledge. Government never could have carried the Times,
of its present size, on the same terms, by the old mail
coach. The Parliamentary blue books never would have
been printed ; for except by canal, or by waggon, they
could not have been distributed, and if they could not
have been circulated they would have been useless.
Nevertheless the Post-office did not appear to treat rail-
• ways with all the consideration they were entitled to ex-
pect. Great services were required, and in return it
had been contended that no profit should be allowed to
the railway companies, except as carriers and workers
of the line. Railway companies were, therefore, indif-
ferent to postal traffic, which was shown to be a serious
disadvantage to the public. At present the Post•office
competed with railways as carriers of book parcels, a
principle which might be extended still further, but not
without injustice and hardahip to the railways.
Parliamentary legislation for railways was full of in-
congruities and absurdities, which were graphically de-
scribed and illustrated. The acts of Parliament which
railways bad been forced to obtain had cost the country
14,000,0001. sterling, but this was found to be the exclu-
sive fault of Parliament itself, and of the system it en-
forced. The legislation of Parliament had made railways
pay 70 millions of money to landowners for land and
property ; yet almost every estate traversed by a rail-
way had been greatly improved in value. Parliament
had taxed the companies in favour of the landowners for
what was called "severance." Claims for compensation
" severance" were based on theories which were wholly
ideal and imaginary. No one bad ever been able to show
a practical loss by " severance," and the claim was often
made as " customary," where it was even admitted that
no around for it existed. The remedy which suggested
itself for this state of things was one which Parliament
was not likely to grant. A competent tribunal was
wanted, and Parliament was incompetent. Neither
its practical experience, its time, nor its system, were
adapte for railway legislation. If a commission could
be organised, to consist of practical men of acknowledged
legal, commercial, and mechanical ability, there might
be some chance of railway business being efficiently con-
ducted. But it was admitted that there was little hope
of any such concession.
Railway management was next considered, and shown
to be completely anomalous, Parliament bad legislated
for railways as toll-taking companies ; but every direc-
tion was obliged to embark in enterprises foreign to the
Parliamentary objects of the railway itself. This pro-
duced serious dilemmas. As long as dividends were
kept up, the directors were popular, however illegal their
acts ; but the moment dividends fell, the directors, how-
ever energetic, wise, or prudent, were visited by the share-
holders and the public with all the penalties of having
exceeded the letter of the law. Men whose reputa'ions
were at stake were, consequently, unwilling to incur
the risk of becoming railway directors ; and the most
enlightened managers and shareholders were revolving
in their own minds how the dilemma could be escaped.
It was suggested that advantage might be taken of the
Limited Liability Act, or of some analogous measure, to
enable a limited number of men of business to take lines
of railway from shareholders on leases, subject to cer-
tain conditions and terms. A few of the lessees would
then constitute themselves managers ; and, being free
from apprehensions on account of shareholders—of ex-
ternal interference, or of personal liabilities, they would
be able fully to work the line and enter into those enter-
prises necessary for its development and essential to its
prosperity. A large profit would accrue to those who
took the line and managed it with vigour and economy ;
whilst shareholders would derive great advantage from
the certainty of receiving fixed dividends, and from the
enhancement of the value of their property, and practi-
cal security would be afforded to the public, whilst their
best interests would be consulted.
The electric telegraph—that offspring and indispens-
able companion of railways —was next considered : 7,200
miles of telegraph, or 36,000 miles of wires, were laid
down at least. Three thousand people were continually
employed, and more than a million of public messages
were annually flashed along this " silent highway." To
the working of railways the telegraph had become essen-
tial. The needle was capable of indicating at every
station whether the line was clear, or blocked, or if
accident had anywhere occurred. The telegraph could,
therefore, do the work of additional rails, by imparting
instantaneous information to the officers, and enabling
them to augment the traffic over those portions of the
line to which their duty might apply. It also enabled
large savings to he effected in rolling stock, by affording
the means of supplying such stock at any station at
which it was needed, from some other station where it
had accumulated and was not wanted. The mode in
which this system was worked was described, and its
simplicity was commended. A s a perpetual current was
passing through the wires, the guard or engine driver
bad only to break the train-wire in case of accident, and
the officers at the nearest station were instantaneously
apprised that something was wrong and that assistance
ass needed. Some statistics were given to show that
the business of the Electric Telegraph Company bad in-
creased fifty-fold in seven years.
Railway accidents occurred to passengers, in the first
half of 1854, in the proportion of one accident to every
7,195,343 travellers. Ladies and gentlemen could

Sir Charles does us the honour to compare our
own personal aptitude for the service in which he
has acquired glory and grown old, and he goes so
far as to wish us a warm berth in the next action
with gun-boats and batteries. If ho means that
there is any real comparison between us, and that
we should have both to deal with instruments that

we had not proved—he a steam navy and we a
fleet of any sort—we are bound to admit that there

is some truth in the parallel, the difference being
that we should be new to the work, and he not quite
new enough. But he has probably forgotten that
duty can be done and honour acquired in one way as
well as in another. We are not at all afraid of com-

paring our work with his own, •ven on the score
of personal hardships. It is not everybody who,
with the means of retirement and liberty in his
reach, would spend all the best years of his life—
near twenty long years—in a longer and more
laborious night-watch than ever fell to the lot of
either fortunate Admiral or disappointed Lieu-
tenant. It is not everybody who, for that very
long period, would sit in this office till 4 in the
morning for six days out of the seven, reading piles
of MS. and columns of proofs, exercising at once
the most anxious vigilance and the closest atten-
tion. We should be sorry to see Sir Charles, or
any other defender of his country condemned to
such a task, not only because he would not like it,
but because ho would certainly fail. What he
might have done if early broken in we cannot say,
but he could not do it now. Nor do we pretend
to be able to do in the Baltic even the very little
Sir Charles has done there, though we should at
least bring a cool head and nerves unshaken by
indulgence to the work.

TUE FRENCH EXHIBITORS AND BARON CHAS. DUN.
—A number of the French exhibitors waited on Baron
Chas. Dupin, president of the French Commission at the
London Exhibition, and presented him with an exceed-
ingly handmorne bronze shield, due to the talents of MM.
Lienard, Froment-Meurice, and H. Plon. M. Froment-
Maurice, jun., in an appropriate speech, expressed in the
name of the exhibitors the gratitude which they owed to
the spirit of justice and impartiality of the president

provisons, Ste., and to be made ready for leaving Sheer-
ness immediately. She is ordered to proceed to the
Downs, there to await Admiralty orders for her future
de,.tination. The greatest activity prevails on board to
comply with the Admiralty orders; all leave to officers
is *suspended.
The second of six gun-boats, building at the yard of
Wigram, shipbuilders, at Northam, near South-
ampton, was launched yesterday.
The Royal George, 102 guns, screw steam-ship, Capt.
Henry J. Codrington, C. 8., has had the datna4e to the
after en:l of her main shaft repaired, and she is ordered
to be put out of No. 1 dry dock, Sheerness, on the 10th
instant.

dry dock, Sheerness, is ordered to be hastened in her
fittings of machinery in her engine department.
A letter has been received at Sheerness from Heligb-
land, dated January the 31. The writer says—
"l was over to Cuxhaven yesterday and the day be-
fore. That harbour is full of laden vessels, many of
them bearing the English flag. Most of them, it is well
understood, are laden with munitions of war, such as
brimstone, sulphur, saltpetre, gunpowder, and several
are reported to have rifles and revolvers on board in
barrels and cases, bearing marks of contents—' Various
Goods,' others 'Sundry Specimens,' moat of them wait-
ing ,for canal passages, that being the especial route
ordered for their being forwarded to their places of desti-
nation—which, there is little doubt, is to cross the Rus-
sian frontiers. Extraordinary freights are named, which
these vessels are to receive provided their cargoes are
all forwarded by the route prescribed. Surely,' the
writer continues, ' this must be known to the English
authorities, as we have English man-of-war steam-ves-
sels, commanded by lieutenants, daily running from
Cuxhaven here, when the weather permits. If they have
not communicated to the English Admiralty these facts,
which must from necessity have come under knowledge,
the thing not in any way being made a secret, but the
common talk in all parts of Cuxhaven as well as here, I
think there must be traitors in the camp, or rather under
the British pendant."
The Cambria arrived at Liverpool yesterday, from the
East.

The Cleopatra will sail to-day from Liverpool, with
about 500 troops, 'composed of detachments from vari-
ous regiments of the line.

REMAILKAULE METEou.--4 very brilliant and re-
markable meteor was witnessed at Southarut° ester-
day. At about five minutes before five o'clockr is
the afternoon a streak of light darted down from the
heavens, and when apparently about a mile and a half
above the earth the lower end of it expanded into a blue
and red ball of fire, about six inches in diameter. This
ball separated from the streak, and as it was falling to-
wards the earth it separated in five sina;ler balls, which
vanished in the haze that obscured the horizon in the
south-west. But the most remarkable part of the pheno-
menon was the streak of light, which remained precisely
in the same spot where it was first seen when the ball of
tire left it. At first it appeared illuminated with phos-
phoric light, about three yards in length and a few
inches in breadth. It continued stationary and in a per-
pendicular line for more than five minutes, when it as.
sumed a smoke-like appearance and began to increase
slightly in width, and to curl up from its lower end. The
wind was blowing from the north-east at the top of the
houses in Southampton, but nevertheless the phosphoric
phenomena remained stationary for a quarter of an hour,
when it floated slowly away towards the south. The
remarkable appearance excited the utmost attention and
some alarm amongst hundreds of peoplein Southampton.
The sky was clear, and blue in colour, except near the
boriz.m. The barometer had suddenly fallen about the I
time of the appearance of the 'meteor.

The-reeairs of the Be- lgain mail packet Belgique,
Capt. Jack, will be completed at Plymouth to day, and
she will probably sail this afternoon for New York.
The Alban, 4 guns, paddle-wheel steam-vessel, Lieut.
Commander Wm. E. Fisher, arrived at Sheerness late
on Monday night from Heligoland. She left Cuxhaven
in company with the Pigmy steam-vessel, on the sth
inst., taking over to Heligoland (on board both vessels)
aboul 60 volunteers for the Foreign Legion ; also Baron
General Stutterheirn, Commandant of the legion being
' organised there. The vessels experienced very groat
difficulty in getting from Cuxhaven, owing to the heavy
and bard state of the floating ice, which was met in
large masses ; over many of the blocks the vessels
ploughed their way with their paddles entirely over the
ice. The thermometer ranged from 15 dog. down to
7 deg. Fahrenheit. The harbour is reported to he
crowded with vessels, most of which are laden with va-
rious cargoes. Six vessels drove, with their anchors
a-head, with the drift ice, on shore ; four of their' were
assisted off previous to the sth instant. Two remained
driven high upon the beach, and must be discharged be-
fore they can be got off.
The floating batteries Trusty and Thunder are under-
goin, various improvements in Sheerness basin.
Time Wasp, 144 guns, screw steam-sloop, Commander
H. Lloyd, which vessel was paid off on Monday last, is

the purpose of deciding as to her future services.
A detachment of the Foreign Legion from Shorncliff,
principally Poles, have been ordered to Tilbury Fort for

low frequent, comparatively, were the accidents in the

blr. Sargood urged that the insolvent had fully ex-
pected to pay his creditors, and but for the disappoint.
ment experienced they would have been paid. The pub-
lic knew well cf the former insolvency, and it was noto-
rious to the creditors that Mr. Capel was dependent on
his family for support. An allowance had been made,
and creditors had been paid, and everything done for
them. There was no pretence for saying the insolvent
had no reasonable expectation of payment.
The learned Judge expressed liiinse'f of opinion that
the debts of the opposing creditors had been contracted
without reasonable or probable expectation of payment.
It was his duty equally to administer the law to a poor
man as well as one who bad moved in a high position.
After taking a review of the case, the learned Judge
pronounced a judgment of 12 months' imprisonment at
the suit of the detaining creditors, four in number, for
having incurred their debts without' having at the time
any reasonable or probable expectation of payment.
The judgment is computed from the vesting order
at the end of October, and is considered by the insol-
vent's professisnal advisers to be a very severe one.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—Jan. 9.

Edward Harvey, 31, and Harriet Ray, 33, were in
dieted for the a Mel murder of Harriet Harvey, by
starving her to death.
Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Poland conducted the prosecu-
tion ; the prisoners bad no counsel.
The circumstances under which this' charge was pre-
ferred have appeared very recently in the police reports
aml in the proceedings before the coroner. The male
prisoner was a widower with four children, the deceased,
who was about five years old, an older girl, one of two
years and a half, and a hoy about three years old, andle
and the woman, it appeared, had cohabited together for
about eight months, and pa.sed as man and wife. In the
month of December the whole family occupied one room
in Brunswick-street, Hackney, and there appeared to
be no doubt that they were in a most nlieerable and
destitute condition. On the morning of the 23c1 of
December the male prisoner went to the landlady of
the house, and told her that two of his children were
dying, and she gave Lim the addresss of Mr. Venal!,
the medical officer of the district, and he proceeded
there, and that gentleman accompanied hint back to his
lodging, where he found the deceased girl lying dead upon a miserable mattress, and another child, William,
in a dying state, and Le expired shortly afterwards. The
children presented a most dreadfully emaciated appear-
ance, the only food that was seen was a small quantity
of rice and oatmeal, but the female prisoner mail that the
children had eaten a hearty supper on the previous night.
Upon a post mortem examination of the deceased chil.
diem, not a vestige of food of any kind was found in the
stomach, and every portion of fat had been absorbed,
and Dr. Letheby, the eminent professor of chemistry,
who was called upon to examine and analyse the intes-
tines and stomach, expressed his opinion that the deaths
were the result of a long-continued course of deprivation
of nourishment. it should be stated that in the stomach
of both the deceased there were found some small pieces
of wood which they had no doubt devoured in the ex-
tremity of their hunger. In order to establish the charge
against the prisoners evidence was adduced to show that,
in July last, the male prisoner was committed to prison
from Worship-street for ill-using and deserting the chil-
dren, and when they were afterwards delivered up to
him they were healthy and in good condition, and it was
proved that very soon afterwards they
appeared very
emaciated and in a most miserab'e state, and that the
deceased child Harriet, upon several occasions, had been
seen to pick up offal in the etreet, and eat it ravenously.
It was also proved that the prisoners had received assist-
aneo from the parish in the shape of fiod, and that an
order was given him for work, at which he could have
.earned 10e. or 12s. per week, but that ho would not
avail himself of it. It likewise appeared that the prisoner
had been employed at his trade of a bricklayer in Octo-
ber, and shortly before the deaths of the children, and
that he received between .51. and 61. for wages, out of
which sum, however, it appeared he had to pay a man
who assisted 'lim-
n() prisoners when called upon for their defence de-
clared that they had done all in their power for the chil-
dren, and that they shared the whole of the food they
were able to obtain.
Baron Martin,-in summing up the case to the jury,
expressed an opinion that there was not sufficient evi-
dence to support. a charge either of murder or of
manslaughter aganht the female prisoner. With re-
gard to the man, he, as a parent, was bound to maintain
his eff-pring, and if the jury should believe that he had
wilfully withheld proper food and nourishment from these
children, and death was the result, he would, in the eye
of the law, be guilty of murder. If, however, they should
be of opinion that this fact was not fully established,
but that the evidence rather tended to show that he had
neglected his duty, either by not going to work, or by
refusing to go Into the workhouse with his family, an

ia-calculated to afford protection to the public where it
was most needed. Lord Campbell's act, also, measured
men's lives by a class standard. The family of a high
public functionary would get large compensation, whilst
the family of the poor working man would get nothing.
The practical tendency of this law was to retard the
adoption of low fares. Railway managers were com-
pelled to consider not only what they might gain, but
what they might lose ; and the larger the number of
rasaengers the greater the risk of accident to some one
of them. The companies were, practically, obliged to
insure the life of every person who travelled on their
line, without being able to apportion the premiums to
the risks incurred.

sumed work on the terms offered by their employers.
At some of the other mills a few of the turn-outs have
resumed work, also at the terms originally offered. A
large number of operatives have been thrown out of
work at another mill, not in consequence of reduction
of prices, but through the entire stoppage of the con-

[A DVERTISEMENT.]—A Lieuten ant of Dragoons Cured
of Rheumatism by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
This officer, who is in the Dutch tunny, states that Hol-
loway's pills and ointment have cured him of rheuma-
tism, which appeared to be incttrable, as neither sea
bathing, vapour baths, nor preparai tions vaunted as sure
remedies, did him any good, and ti le treatment of the
doctor, after several months' trial, t vas without success.
At this juncture he commenced tall ing these pills, and
rubbirg the ointment into the comp laining parts twice a
day, which effectually cured him h i the course of six
weeks. The truth of this statement can be vouched for
