EXPENSES OF THE WAR DEPARTMENT.

Mr. MACARTNEY asked the following question of
the Secretary to the Treasury—namely, whether, in
compliance with the provisions of the Act 9 and
10 Vic., o. 92, the accounts and vouchers of
the expenditure for the several branches of the service
in the War Department for the year ending March 31,
1857, have been sent complete for examination and
audit to the office of the commissioners for auditing the
public accounts, and if not, what is the cause of the do-
lay, and in what section of the department the accounts
have not been so completed (also, whether the out-
standing 'accounts for the service of the army in the
Crimea during the years 1854, 1855, and 1856, have
been examined, arranged, and reported upon to the Audit
Office or Treasury, for which service a first-class
Commissary-General has been retained upon full pay
since the close of the war in the East 1 .
Mr. HAMILTON said that the accounts and vouchers
referred to had been sent in for audit to the audit office.
With regard to the latter part of the question, the ac-
counts for 1854 and 1855 had been sent in, and those
for 1856 and 1857 were in course of preparation. Come
missary-General Adams, with one assistant, was engaged
on them.

TREATY OF PEACE.

Mr. HADFIELD asked the following question of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether (under 14th Pro-
tocol, p. 59 of Conferences of the Plenipotentiaries at
Paris, 1858, relative to the Treaty of Peace), there has
been a revision of the stipulations which regulate the
commercial relations of the Porte with other Powers, or in
the position of foreigners resident in Turkey, and whether
(agreeably to the recorded wish of the Plenipotentiaries)
a deliberation has been opened at Constantinople since
the conclusion of peace, between the Porte and other
powers, with the view of attaining the twofold object in
such a manner as to afford satisfaction to all legitimate
interests ; and, if there had been no such revision and de-
liberation, whether this country, in its commercial rela-
tions with the Porte, ranked amongst the most favoured
nations as to fiscal and other duties in all commercial
transactions, and the residence of the British subjects in
Turkey ; and whether any beneficial change had taken
place since the war ; and were negociationa in progress
to'facilitate the commerce of this country with Turkey I
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said no
revision had as yet taken place on the subject to which
the question referred, bat it would probably soon com•
nsence. (Hear.) The inhabitants of England were
placed on a par with the most favoured nations as to their
commercial and civil privileges. The conruissioners
under the Treaty of 1834 had not been able to revise the
Turkish tariffs lately on account of the late war.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Sittings in Banco—Before Lord Campbell and
Justices Wightman, Erle, and Crompton )
HALL Y. WRIGHT.—BREACH OF PROMISE OF
MARRIAGE.

This was an action for breach of promise of mar-
riage tried before Mr. Justice Erie at Guildhall.
The defendant pleaded that after he entered into
the agreement to marry, and b-fore the breach
thereof, he became, and still was, afflicted with a
dangerous bodily disease, and that he was incapablß
of marriage without great danger to his life. The
jury found that at the time he broke off the mar-
riage, marriage would have been dangerous to his
life ; but that the plaintiff had no notice of the fact.
' Upon that finding the learned j trig° directed a ver-
dict for the defendant, but, in order to save a new
trial, the jury estimated the damages at 1001., and
the learned judge gave liberty to move this court
to enter the verdict for the plaintiff, with a view to
raise the question whether such a plea was a good
defence to the action.
In a preceding term a rule for that purpose was
granted, and it now came on for argument.
The Attorney-General, in showing cause against
the rule, said it was against common sense to com-
pel a manto perform his promise to marry, although
it was clearly proved that the act of marriage would
not only be dangerous to his life but highly cri-
minal, and contended that no obligation could
compel him to go through the solemn ceremony of
marriage when his very first act after wards must be
to do that which his vow forbade, viz., to separate
himself from his wife:
Mr. Edward James and Mr. Henderson folloived
on the same side, and submitted that the plea set
out a good defence to the fiction.
Mr. M. Chambers, Mr. Mellish, and other
learned gentlemen having been heard in support
of the rule,
The Court took time to consider.

R. HOWARD, 6urgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-

? VIAL TFETIT ,fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
oerfeetly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
the original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
I,Tay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
this method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
Ireration, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication ; and that Mr.
Howard's improvement may be within the reach of the most econo-
nical, he has fixed the charges at the lowest scale possible. De-
c-eyed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in mastica-
tion.-52, Fleet-street. At -tome from ten till live.

THE CAGLIARI.

Mr. SlNGLAkiinilialated—thal in order that he
might have time to make himself acquainted with the
papers hid on the table upon this subject, he should
postpone the motion of which he had given notice a
Tuesday week. (Hear.)
Mr. HUTT—Is it intended to lay on the table the
papers referred to by the Under Secretary for Foreign
Affairs in the debate on Tuesday night in reference to
the negotiations reutive to the Danubian provinces !
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—It
would be most inconvenient, and more tt.an incon-
venient, to lay papers on the table relative to negotia-
tions that are etch going on. My hon. friend spoke of
thedocuments in question in illustration of an argument
during a debate, and thinking that the information
won d be interesting to the house ; but to present them
at present would be inconsistent with our C.uty. (Hear.)
Mr. LYGON withdrew his mo ion for a bill to alter
and amend the law of church rates, explaining that his
only object was that some plan of compromise should be
devised in which all sides would concur. In the hope
that thissession or the mat an amicable set. kment would
be arranged, he begged to take the notice from the
paper.

LONDON, F RIDAY, MAY 7, 1858.

It appears that the independent Liberal Mem-
bers of Parliament are by no means disposed to
be marched through Coventry with either Lord
PALMERSTON or Lord JOHN RUSSELL. They feel,
bitterly feel the contumelious neglect exhibited
towards them personally. And they see that the
measures to which they attached great importance
have a much better chance of success under Lord
DERBY than under either of the Whig leaders.
Tney have no extraordinary desire to restore the
old cliques, consisting of members of the lucky
families. They are by no means anxious to have
Sir CHARLES WOOD at the head of the Exchequer,
the Admiralty, or the India Board, to give L,rd
CLLRENDON the opportunity to serve petty conti-
nental despots, or to enable Sir G. C. LEWIS to
grind the over-burdened tax-payer in order to
maintain a sinking fund to pay off old liabilities.
The influential meeting on Wednesday, at which
120 gentlemen attended, proved that the Liberal
party are no longer to be misled by specious fal
lacier or pompous platitudes. They will hence-
forward look to " measures, not men," and give
all parties the fair play to which they may be
entitled. It was the Whig Cabinet that " baffled"
the attempts at reform. Lord DERBY has at
once given up the property qualification, one of
the most vexatious and indefensible abuses of the
old law, and there is every reason to believe that
a large and comprehensive measure of reform will
be introduced next session, far better than that
which was promised by Lord PALMERSTON, but
no inkling whereof was suffered to ooze out ; and
which, indeed, it was admitted, had not even been
prepared by the Government twice pledged to its
introduction !
The Liberal members have now elected a
Whipper-in, Mr. FORSTER., M.P. for Walsall, and
another gentleman will doubtless be found to assist
him in his labours. This is a movement in the
right direction,—one indispensable to the effi-
ciency of the united band. The old fable of the
bundle of sticks might have taught these gentle-
men the propriety of such a step, long since, and,
now that it has been adopted, we may
reasonably anticipate that the Independent mem-
bers w.ill carry with them far greater weight
and influence. They will now teach a salutary
lesson to the old " family" parties, and show them
the necessity of infusing new blood into any
Government that may henceforward be consti-
tuted. It will never again do to merely
shuffle the old pack and produce the same
names in different offices. The Whig Leaders
may be well assured that if they do ED
AV" they will speedily have to cut from
Downing-street and its pleasant offices.

The Liberal party acted wisely in not insisting on
any specific measures. Their first duty is to estab
that has
lish a proper organisation, and when teen
effected all other points will follow in its train,
$5 sooa as they have discovered the true value c f
judicious combioation.
One thin', at lealit is certain, that the thunder.

FIDE AT iVALWOBTII.

On Saturday night, between 11 and 12 o'clock,
a fire took place on the premises belonging to Mr.
F. Davis, a milliner and silk mercer, Crown-row,
Walworth-road, Newington-butts. At a few mi-
nutes before 12 o'clock, and while the shop and
warehouse were filled with customers, the high
goods hanging wind which prevailed at the time drove a large
number of light
dows_against a gas burner, and
in one of the win-
the consequence was
their instantaneous ignition, and the fire then en-
. veloped every article of a combustible nature. The
fire took possession of every room in Mr. Davis's
premises, and thence it worked its way into the
building belonging to Mr. J. Barnes, a poulterer,
No. 12, in. the same thoroughfare. The total loss
must Le very serious, and is thus officially returned

chances will stand pretty nearly—for the English ship

gale and 23 fog banks as well as ice. On the whol.,
therefore, the dangers may be fairly considered as ❑early
equal. Each country, then, shares equally in the honour

LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 31, 1858.

The intelligence from India is still of a che-
quered character. In slme parts all is co/eur de
rose—matters are proceeding as satisfactorily as
could be anticipated ; while in others we hear of
reverses, accompanied by the I,)ss of gallant officers
and of many efficient soldiers. Such a state of
affairs is for some time inevitable. It cannot be
averted by any strategy. We are still contend-
ing against large numerical majorities. At
Delhi a large proportion of the mutineers and
rebels, who thought "discretion the better part
of valour," and were thoroughly cognisant of the
fact that " he who fights and runs away may live
to fight another day," escaped into Oude, and
co-operated with the Lucknow insurgents. Thao

they hoped to gratify their sanguinary propensr•
ties, and to witness the destruction, and perhaps
something worse than the destruction, of the hated
Feringhees. But the self-sacrificing devotion of
HAVELOCK—the unflinching courage of OUTRANI—
and the skilful tactics, and brilliant strategy of
CAMPBELL, completely disappointed their anticipa-
tionp. The fugitives at Lucknow were rescued. The
chivalrous IsaLts had not worked in vain. At
the eltventh hour the inspiring notes of the
"land" pibroch conveyed the glad tidings of
safety and succour to the fugitives.
But more remained to be accomplished. Al-
tholigh the fullitivea were preserved from the
awful fate to which they had been doomed, Luck-
now, the capital of the rebel state, still remained
in the hands of our opponents. Thed innocent
safety of the
fugitives, the helpless women an
chil-
dren, who had passed through an ordeal so terri-
ble, was the first care of Sir COLIN. The modern
BAYARD would not risk a combat while their safety
was dependent on the result. He accordingly
made a masterly retreat, to be speedily followed
by a more masterly advance. He returned
to Lucknow, having completed the most skilful
arrangements fur the destruction or capture of the

General Whitelock arrived at Budaon on the
19th of April, having at Bhoragurh defeated the
Nawab, who fled precipitately. General White-
lock captured four guns, and took possession of
the city and Palace of the Nawab. Eight guns
were afterwards abandoned by the rebels and
taken. Our loss, one officer, Lieut. Colbeck, 3d
Madras Europeans, killed ; two officers wounded.

It is reported from Calpee that Tantia Topee,

" General Whitelock is still at Bar la.
There is nothing of importance to report from

" ROHILCUND DIVISION.

" Colonel Jones's column was at MahadAbad on
the 2Gtb, having apparently experienced little
opposition.

" Majjoo Khan, a rebel leader of some note,
was seized by Captain Angelo, of Coke's Rifles.
28 guns have been captured by this column sinco
it left Roorkee ; six of these were taken on the
17th near Nagul, nine on the 18th in the fort of
Nujeebabad, and 10 on the 221 at Nageenab.

" Brigadier-General Walpole's division defeated
the robels on the 221 of April ; four guns were
taken, and their baggage, camp equipage, &c.,
captured at Allygunj after a long pursuit. The
Raingunga has thus been turned, and the bri•lge
at Allygunj secured for the passage of the siege
train.

" In an attack of the fort of Rooca (?) some
days previous to this action, Brigadier Adrian
Hope and three officers were killed.
