TO TILE EDITOR OF TILE TIMES.

Sir,--I scarcely know what reply to make to the letter of
Sir Henry Havelock in reference to a passage from my book
on India except to add my testimony to that which he bears
to tne character of Major Crommelin, than whom no army
boasts a more zealous or able officer. It is scarcely neces-
sary for me to say that I meant no attack on the reputation
or conduct of an officer whom I hold in high esteem ; and
indeed Sir Henry exculpates me from any Suspicion of the
kind. The fact is that I found the grave of a man over
which all England had been weeping—over which poets
were weaving chaplets of verses, if not of inmortelles—was
a mere ditch filled with foul water ; that it was in that state
when I saw it many months after the hero was laid to rest
there, and longer after we had established our rule in Oude ;
and in stating the fact, which to me was painful, I thought
it but right to add that certain directions had been given by
the gallant son of the deceased to an officer very much en-
gaged in the most important duties which that officer had,
amid the pressure of his vitally important daily avocations,
as chief engineer of the Government works at Lucknow,
forgotten to fulfil, as he pressed upon mo with generous
energy when I talked to him of the neglected state of the
grave. The work, which, I think, after all that was
said and written and sung of the glorious, immortal, heroic
Havelock, should have been a nation's care—if one is to
credit a nation's words—was begun after I had spoken to
Major Crommelin, not in consequence of what I said, but
in obedience'to the instructions of the present Sir Henry
Havelock, which were for a time (as Sir Fenry states) par-
donably forgotten, and the subsequent inattention to which
arose from causes with which the pub!ice are not yet made
acquainted. I believe Sir James Outram brought forward
a proposition fur the erection of a niohument at the public
expense, but, if he did, it came to nothing.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,

THE ARMY.

The non-commissioned officers and 'men of the
Army Hospital Corps selected to proceed to China
left headquarters yesterday morning and proceeded
to Deptford to embark on board the screw steamer
Melbourne for Hong Kong. The second detach-
ment of the same corps, also about to be despatched
to China, is expected to embark in the Mauritius on
the 16th inst.
During the temporary absence on leave of Col.
It. N. Phillips from Chatham garrison, the com-
mand of the Second Depot Battalion has devolved
on Major W. L. Stewart. Major C. Elgee has
assumed the command of the Third Battalion during
the absence of Lieut.-Col. C. E. Fairtlough.
The second batch of 10 guns made in the rifled
gun factories, Woolwich, was yesterday fired expe-
rimentally, with perfeet success, in the presence of
the authorities, who pronounced the proof extremely
satisfactory. The engagement to turn out for proof
20 guns per week has been thus far fulfilled to the
letter, and, according to the progress of the arrange-
ments, there is no doubt that a similar number will
be delivered over every week, notwithstanding the
unfinished state of the factories, which, from the
present appearance, are destined to form one of the
most gigantic establishments in her Majesty's do-
minions. A large number of offices and buildings
have been already demolished, and an immense area
within the range of the factories has been appro-
priated to the department, on which foundations
have been laid and buildings commenced, the walls
of which are rising with astonishing rapidity. The
export of ammunition, guns, shot, shell, waggons,
smiths' forges, intrenching carts and tools, military
clothing, harness, hospital and commissariat stores,
provisions, &c., is proceeding with the utmost dill-
Fence, and every department throughout the Arsenal
is engaged in preparations for the war with China.
The splendid ship Khersonese, of 1,272 tons bur-
den, belonging to Messrs. George Duncan and Co.,
of London, yesterday arrived at the Arsenal-pier'
from Liverpool, under engagement to her Majesty's
Government for China. She experienced some very
severe weather off the coast, The ship has-not,
however, sustained the slightest damage, and is
perfectly ready to commence her embarkation im-
mediately. The Khersonese is the seventh transport
taken up in the China service, and, as at present
stated, she will take out a number of Royal Ma-
rines, as well as stores for war. She was engaged
in a aimilar service to India, and has also been em-
P,Vl°.Yed On the North American line as a passenger
s- Her cabin accommodation is of a very supe-
rior class having a large number of airy berths on
deck, as well asa spacious and well-appointed sa-
loon, sufficient for
or 700 or 800 passengers. She is
expected to be ready for sea before te end of the
nth, as no alteration or repairs are considered
necessary.

THE PAPAL STATES.

A letter from Rome says :
" Money is coming in from Ireland, Bavaria, and
the Catholic States of Germany, but the Papal Go-
vernment wants men. Recruiting is going on by
the Nuncio. The recruits from Vienna and Munich
arrive here via Ancona and Trieste:

" Cardinal Wiseman has promised an Irish bri-
gade.
"The pamphlet 'Le Pape et le Congres' was known
at the Vatican the same day it appeared at Paris.
M. Sacconi, the Papal Nuncio at Paris, had received
the proof-sheets of it, which he forwarded by a
special courier to Rome. The effect produced upon
the Pope was immense. The same courier was
sent back to Paris with a despatch instructing the
Papal representative to ask for a formal and public
denial from Count Walewski• of any participation
of the' Governmeat in the pamphlet in question.
"The reply given by the French Minister was
evasive, and did not satisfy the Roman Govern-
ment. A Council of Cardinals was held on the
28th of December, in which the following decisions
were adopted :
" 1. Suspension of the departure of Cardinal Antonelli
for Paris until the temporal riglfts of the Church were re-
cognised its the basis of all discussion in the Congress.
" 2. Immediate increase of the Papal army for the de-
fence of the States of the Church.

" ' 3. Publication of a solemn declaration, condemning
the pamphlet " Ze Pape et le Congres."
" This last decision was put into execution next
day, by an official protest lnthc Giornale cli .Roma."

STATE OF TRADE.

MiNcHEsTER, Jan. 6.—Prices have drooped
since the commencement of last months, 4id to 6d.
per piece on India shirtings, and id to td per lb.
on yarns for the same market. With this reduction
we have a rather better feeling, and more disposi-
tion to make purchases. The larger portion of the
business in shirtings, however, has been in the
heavier makes of 40-inch, for China, which are now
rather scarce. Prices are consequently rather
steadier. The decline on jacconets and madapollams
for India is about ld to lid per piece ; on figured
shirtings, 3d; and on T cloths lid per piece. The
greatest reduction on water twist has been in 16-24's,
while 30's are firm, and low numbers of extra hard
twist are id. dearer. This, as above stated, is on
the month. Since Monday the market has been
steadier for all goods. Narrow makes of 'l'-cloths
for the Levant and fine makes for China have not
undergone any reduction for some time past, and
there are still some good orders in hand. Long-
cloths and domestics are steady at the rates of the
early part of December, but printers are rather
easier, particularly the lower makes, but with more
steadiness this week. At the close of this day's
market we learn that 71b. and 81b. 40-inch shirt-
ings are litd. to 3d. higher than the lowest rates re-
cently taken, in consequence of the large business
recently done for China and 40's mule, of China
quality, and 16's to 20's water twist nre id. above
the late lowest rates. The market closes with a
more cheerful feeling.

THAMES.

EMBBZZLIIMENT BY CLBRKEL—John Branscombe, aged
22, and Thomas Rutter, aged 46, of No. 11, West-lane,
Bermondsey, clerks, were brought before Mr. Selfe,
charged with feloniously embezzling various sums of money
they had received for and on account of their employers.

The first case was taken against Branscombe.
Mr. Warrand, a solicitor, said the prisoner was in the
employ of Messrs. Burdett and Farish, linendrapers, of
Nos. 1,2, and 3, York-place, Commercial-road East, and
it was his duty to receive money from the porters, enter
every sum so received in a book, and account for the same
to'his employers. The prisoner had at various times re
ceived £2B which he had not accounted for, and had appro-
priated to his own use. The prisoner received £2 45. 10d.
of George Turner, a porter, on the 16th of December, and
a £5 note on the 29th of the same month, and
had not accounted for either of these sums. The
£6 note was traced to a dancing shop, where
the prisoner had changed it and spent the money. The
firm of Messrs. Burdett and Co., while feeling it their duty
to prefer this charger wished the prisoner to be leniently
dealt with.

The case having been clearly made out by the evidence
of Mr. Farish and George Turner,
Mr. Selfe said he had only one duty to perform. He
would not deal with the case summarily but must commit
the prisoner for trial.

The case of Thomas Rutter was next gone into. His
defalcations amounted to £45. He had been for some time
as clerk, and enjoying a good salary in the employ of Richd.
Clay and others, extensive wharfingers, of Free Trade
Wharf, Ratcliff, and also of Sunderland.

From the evidence of Mr. Edger Buffet, a partner in the
firm, it appeared that the prisoner had obtained the entire
confidence of his employers by his good conduct and appa-
rent honesty. He was for some time at the Ratcliff wharf,
and was promoted to a better situation at the establishment
in Sunderland. Mr. Buffet lately discovered that
the prisoner had received various sums, amounting in the
aggregate to £l5, of various customers, and had not ac-
counted for the same. Mr. Buffet wrote to Sunderland, and
the prisoner came to London, and was taxed with his defal-
cations, which he at once admitted. The prisoner had been
in the employ of the prosecutor three years.
Mr. Robert Fairbairn, agent to Scott and Co., earthen-
ware merchants, Wapping, said he paid the prisoner £8
for his employers, as per bill delivered, on the 20th of Octo-
ber la 4, and took his receipt for the same.
Mr. Buffet said the prisoner had not accounted to his em-
ployers for the sum of £B, and that he had illegally appro-
priated it to his own use.
The prisoner, who was greatly agitated, said he knew he
was guilty. He admitted everything to Mr. Buffet, and ho
would throw no impediment in the way of the prosecution.
Ho must suffer for the crime ho had committed.
' Mr. Selfe committed the prisoner to Newgate for trial.

THE PAPAL STATES.

A letter from Rome says
" Money is coming in from Ireland, Bavaria, and
the Catholic States of Germany, but the Papal Go-
vernment wants men. Recruiting is going on by
the Nuncio. The recruits from Vienna and Munich
arrive here via Ancona and Trieste:

" Cardinal Wiseman has promised an Irish bri-
gade.
"The pamphlet 'Le Pape et le Congres' was known
at the Vatican the same day it appeared at Paris.
M. Sacconi, the Papal Nuncio at Paris, had received
the proof-sheets of it, which he forwarded by a
special courier to Rome. The effect produced upon
the Pope was immense. The same courier was
sent back to Paris with u despatch instructing the
Papal representative to ask for a formal and public
denial from Count Walewski of any participation
of the Governmeat in the pamphlet in question.
" The reply given by the French Minister was
evasive, and did not satisfy the Roman Govern-
ment. A Council of Cardinals was held on the
28th of December, in which the following decisions
were adopted :
" 1. Suspension of the departure of Cardinal Antonelli
for Paris until the temporal rights of tho Church were re-
cognised as the basis of all discussion in the Congress.
" 2. Immediate increase of the Papal army for the de-
fence of the States of the Church.

" ' 3. Publication of a solemn declaration, condemning
the pamphlet " Le Pape et le Congres."
" This last decision was put into execution next
day, by an official protest in the Giornale di .Ronza."

MANSION •HOUSE.

Thomas Topham, a discharged soldier from the Bengal
Artillery, was brought before the Lord Mayor charged with
being a deserter from the 7th Dragoon Guards, under the
name of Samuel Seekers.

Sergeant Cotterill, of the 7th Dragoon Guards, said he
knew the prisoner, and gave him into custody last night as
a deserter from that regiment.

The prisoner denied the charge. He said his name was
not Samuel Seekers, and that he was not a deserter from
the 7th Dragoon Giards. He had been in India four and
a half years, and before he went away he was taken up as a
deserter under the same name from the same regiment and
discharged.

The prisoner was remanded for further evidence.
William M'Donald was charged with fraudulently ob-
taining X2O on a cheque on Messrs. Glyn and Company's bank
from Mr. Alexander B. Manuel, merchant, Fenchurch-
street, with the intention of defrauding Mr. E. Walter Sim-
mons, Tottenham-court-road, his master. The sum of
£lO 10s. lid. was found on the prisoner when taken into
custody. He said he was going to America.
The charge was clearly proved, and the Lord Mayor
committed the prisoner for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SINGULAR CORROBORATING EVIDENCE.—SHAMEFUL
TREATMENT OF AN ORI'HAN CHlLD.—William Rutledge,
a marine store-dealer and boot-closer, of Crgwn-street,
Soho, was charged with the following disgraceful conduct
to an intelligent orphan girl, 11 years of age, named Mar-
garet Collins :

The child said she lived with the prisoner and his wife
as an assistant to the children, and about two that morning
she was in her own bed, in the prisoner's room, his wife
being out at the time. The prisoner told her to get into his
bed, but she declined to do so, telling him that there was no
room, and that Mrs. Rutledge would soon be in. He again
asked her, but she refused, and after a bit she did. (The
evidence of the girl was here unfit for publication, but it
tended to show that the more serious offence had not been
committed.) She was then crying out, but he told her not
to do so.

Thomas Dadsworth, C division, said his attention was
called to the house by the prisoner's wife, who said he had
assaulted her, but she would not give him in charge. A
short time after, on passing the house, and hearing a noise,
he looked through the window, the blind not being down,
and saw the prisoner force the girl into his bed. On seeing
the wife in the street, he asked her who was in bed with
her husband. She replied, "No one." He then took the,
prisoner on the wife's charge of assault, and the girl told
him what had occurred. The divisional surgeon had seen
the girl, but said nothing serious had taken place.
The prisoner partly denied the charge and partly asserted
that the girl was willing.
Mr. Bingham said, as far as he could understand the
prisoner, he meant him to understand that the girl was not
unwilling to comply with his desires. If under twelve,
whether she consented or not made no difference in point of
law. It was to be supposed that any one who had a heart
would protect such a child. That he should violate the
confidence between master and servant in such a way was
abominable. He should tine him £5, or two months; and
the girl, being an orphan and in deep distress, had better be
taken at present to the workhouse, as she would, being very
intelligent, and having given her evidence in a proper man-
ner, ultimately become a good servant.

LAW INTELLIGENCE-(TUIS DAY.)

• COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)
THE EXTENSIVE FRAUDS ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE,

IN RE ALLEN.

This bankrupt was described as of Lloyd's Coffee-house,
underwriter, broker, &c., and to-day was appointed for his
adjourned examination. The bankrupt was prosecuted at
the instance of the Bank of England, convicted, and sen-
tenced to 10 years' penal servitude. The bankrupt was
brought up in custody, but no examination occurred in
public. The bankrupt was permitted an interview
with his friends in a private room. Messrs. Paul
and Turner were appointed by the Court accountants
to the estate, and Mr. Paul now reported that
he had ascertained that the liabilities amounted
to ,N about £87,000, the assets realised about £1,200,
and outstanding debts on the underwriters' account of be-
tween £3,000 and £4,000. Under the circumstances, it was
agrecd that an adjournment should be taken sine die, as
Messrs. Paul and Turner could not carry their inquiries
ftu ther from any information to be obtained from the
bankrupt. _ _ _

Through the exertions of Messrs. Paul and Turner, it is
probable that an addition will be made to the assets, but at
present £1,200 must represent proofs to the amount of be_
tween £30,000 and £40,000 proved debts.

THE POOR.

A communication was received from the White-
chapel Board of Works, calling attention to cer-
tain premises now in the course of erection at the
rear of Nos. 80 and 81, on the north side of High-
street, Whitechapel. It was the intention of the
person :erecting the premises in question to con-
struct three houses, hi which it was probable that
not less than '72 persons would reside. The site
selected was a pent up cul-de-sac' with a covered
entrance to High-street, Whitcehapel, only 5 feet
wide, decreasing in iidth to 2 feet 10 inches, and
the height only 8 feet 6 inches. - The notice went
on to state that the board viewed with the most
serious apprehension this system of constructing
dwelling-houses for the poor, as subversive of the
great end to be accomplished in sanitary regula-
tions, and earnestly requested the Board of -Works
to cause a special inquiry to be instituted into the
matter.

The matter was referred to the superintending
architect to report upon.

THE ORDNANCE SURVEY OF LONDON.

A report was brought up from the Main Drain-
age Committee, "on the arrangements entered into
by the committee with the Treasury for the settle-
ment of the claim for the Ordnance Survey of Lon-
don." The report stated that the committee had
communicated with the War Department, and ar-
ranged with them that all claims against the Board
of Works should be settled by the payment of
£lO,OOO. The War Department was to take the
plates of the maps, and vestries were to be supplied
at a cost only equivalent to their cost to the go-
vernment, namely, I.s. per sheet. The original
claim had been £24,212 17s. Bd., so that by the
present arrangement the ratepayers would benefit
by it to the extent of 14,212 178.8 d. It was also
recommended that it should be paid out of the main
drainage funds.
After a short discussion the report was adopted.
The routine business having been disposed of,
the board adjourned.

THE SUN.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JAN. 7, 1860.

Yesterday was a grand field-day for the quasi-
ultra-Reformers down at Birmingham. It was

with an eye, of course, to the speedy commencement
of the Parliamentary session of 1860 that Mr.

BUIGUT and Mr. SCHOLEFIELD addressed them-

selves thus early in January to their constituents.

Their harangues, given elsewhere at full length in
our impression of this evening, may be looked upon

in the light of an anticipative demonstration. It

is a demonStration too, which—considering the cha-

ratter of the constituency addressed, and consider-

iug especially the character of that constituency's

two notable representatives will hardly fail

to be looked to with about equal interest
by the country at • large (including both
electors and non-electors) and by the leading
members of the present Coalition Government. For

th© indication thus afforded of the probable result
of the approaching discussions upon the Ministerial

- -
Reform Bill now in preparation—or rather, we

believe, it may be said more correctly, in actual
readiness for submission to the two Houses of the

Imperial Legislature—is an indication more im-

portant in its way, more valuable, and more

significant than the proverbial flinging up of a straw
oritwo to show which way the wind blows !

Here, in these colleagues in the representa-
tion of Birmingham, are two men peculiarly re-
garded throughout the constituencies as each in
his own way a conspicuous type of that exceptional
class in the House of Commons, known as thorough
Independents. These are members, who were there
cross-benches in the House, would occupy those
cross-benches by right of their intermediate po-
sition between the two extremes of Whig
Liberalism and Tory Conservatism. As it
is—they sit generally just immediately below the
gangway: They carry their symbol in no parti-
cular colours, or if in any colours at all, in what
might typically be taken as neutral tints ! Yet
these neutral tints it must be confessed, upon closer
scrutiny, prove to be as various as the most brilliant
pigments on the political palette—carmine and gam-
boge, cobalt and vermillion. The " Independents,"
in fact, though so restricted in numbers, are as vari-
ous in their opinions as the larger sections
of the two great rival parties in Parliament.
They are "particular to a shade" amongst them--
selves. But as conspicuous, representatives of
of this small hut important class amongst the great
aggregate of the popular representatives, we may
accept the two members for Birmingham as men of
especial importance, both, as we have said, in their
own peculiar way. We may with reason examine
into their views, as articulated yesterday in their
