THE ARMY.

yesterday the sick and—wounded troops who were
brought home from India in her Majesty's steamer
Simoom, 8, Commander J. M. Cooke, which arrived
at Chatham Dockyard on Saturday afternoon, were
medically inspected at Fort Pitt Hospital. The
number of men who embarked at Bombay was 260
of all ranks, belonging to the 3d (Prince of Wales's)
Dragoon Guards, 6th Enniskillen Dragoons, Bth
Hussars, 17th Lancers, Royal Horse Artillery,
Royal Engineers, Military Train, 4th (King's Own)
18th (Royal Irish), 33d (Duke of Wellington's),
51st (Light Infantry), 57th, 64th, 66th, 71st High-
landers), 83d, 89th, 92d (Highlanders), and 95th
Regiment. The voyage from Bombay to Chatham
Dockyard, including detentions, occupied 124 days,
the Simoom steaming a portion of the time, but
being detained at the Mauritius, the Cape of Good
Hope, and St. Vincent. During the passage 13
deaths occurred on board. The invalid troops, who
were under the command of Capt. J. S. Malony,
83d Regiment, and in Medical charge of Assistant-
Surgeon E. C. Ryall, 86th Regiment, were, on land-
ing at the dockyard, removed to Fort Pitt,, where
61 were admitted into hospital for medical and
surgical treatment, and the remainder gent to St.
Mary's invalid depot to await their discharge. The
Adder and Myrtle steamers were employed in
bringing the troops ashore from the Simoom.
Yesterday afternoon the troops who arrived at
Portsmouth from India, in the ill-fated Eastern
Monarch, were forwarded to Chatham from Ports-
mouth. On reaching Strood junction, the troops
were medically inspected by the staff froni Fort
Pitt, when those who had received injuries or were
suffering from illness were forwarded to that esta-
blishment for treatment, and the remainder con-
veyed to St. Mary's barracks, where they will be
inspected by a Chelsea board. A great deal of
sympathy is felt for the unfortunate troops by the
Eastern Monarch, as, in addition to several of them
having received injuries from the burning ship,
nearly the whole of them have lost all they pos-
sessed, in many cases the savings of a number of
years.

Eight soldiers, who arrived in Portsmouth by the
Eastern Monarch, were left behind in the hospital,
whose sickness had no connection with the loss of
the ship, Six men have remained owing to their
having wives and children in the hospitals suffering
from burns and contusions ; one woman, Mrs.
Walsh, the wife of Private D. Walsh, with her
three children being all four dreadfully burnt. The
actual loss of life from the destruction of the ship
appears to be seven. Private William Foster, 52d
Foot, died soon after being brought on above,:from
immersion in the water. Mrs. Hill, wife of Pri-
vate Thomas Hill, of the 52d Foot, also died soon
after being brought on shore. Four children—one
who died from suffocation at the time of the explo-
sion, one died in Haslar Hospital from burns, and
two who died on board the ship from the effects of
the explosion, and whose bodies were not recovered.
One private soldier, C. Barry, 70th Regiment, who
is returned as " missing," is supposed to have been
drowned in leaving the ship. A subscription has
been opened for the relief of the unfortunate suf-
ferers by the military authorities, and also by the
inhabitants of Portsmouth.
The detachments of the Grenadier and Coldstream
Guards, which left for ball practice at Aldershott a
few weeks since returned to barracks and joined
their respective battalions on Friday and Saturday
last.

Major-General Sir Richard Dacres, K.C.8., com-
manding the garrison at Woolwich, on the assump-
tion of his post yesterday paraded the corps of
Royal Artillery on Woolwich-common. The Horse
Artillery, together with the field and siege
brigades, were drawn up in heavy marching order,
in charge of the various commanding officers, at 10
o'clock, when the General, accompanied by his
Aide-de-Camp, Brevet Major W. E. Moyses Reilly,
C. 8., and the garrison Staff; rode up to the ground
and made a careful inspection of the line. After
the inspection the troops marched past, the Foot
Artillery in advance, retiring to quarters. The,
mounted corps were then put through a heavy
course of gun and waggon drill. The General sub-
sequently proceeded to a survey of the barrack
quarters, and the various establishments within his
jurisdiction. During his progress through the
garrison his attention was continually arrested by
recognizing the old familiar faces of men who had

Mr. Bovill, Q.C., said he had been instructed on
behalf of the Rev.,Charles Portales Golightly, of
No. 6, Holywell-street, Oxford, a clerk in Holy
Orders, to move for a rule calling upon the Bishop
of Chichester to show • cause why a writ of manda-
mus should not issue, commanding him to issue a
commission under the Church Discipline Act, the
3d and 4th Vic., cap. 86, for the purpose of making
inquiries into the grounds of certain reports, charg-
ing the Rev. Richard Wm. Randall, rector of the
united parishes of Wool Lavington-cum-Graffham,
in the county of Sussex, and within the diocese of
the Bishop of Chichester, with having introduced
certain ceremonies and practices of the Church of
Rome into the Communion Service of the Church of
England, and contrary to the uniformity that
should prevail in the religious ceremonies and ob-
servances, of that Church. He was prepared to
show their lordships that it was obligatory on the
bishop to issue such a commission, and 'to inquire
into those charges.
Lord Campbell—There are two bishops mentioned
in the papers.
Mr. Bovill—The name of the Bishop of Oxford is
referred to, but he is no party in this proceeding.
The parish of Wool LavingtOn is within the diocese
of the Bishop of Chichester; and it was that parish
that Archdeacon Manning, who had seceded from
the Church of England, and gone over to the Church
of Rome, was rector. The Rev. Richard Wm.
Randall was appointed thereto, and the patron of
the living was the present Bishop of Oxford. The
application, as he had already intimated, was not
against him. After the appointment of the Rev.
Mr. Randall, there were several practices adopted
by him which were contrary to the Church of Eng-
land Service, He assumed, for instance, the cassock
worn by the priests of the Church of Rome ; and in
the course of the communion service he was in the
habit of " crossing" himself; and of turning his back
to the congregation, as was customary with the
priests in the celebration of the mass; and he was
also, during the communion service, in the habit of
reading'on the north of the communion table, as
the priests of the Church of Rome were on that of
the altar. The cloths of the communion table, too,
instead of being fringed with lace, were—
Lord Campbell—We cannot go into these matters.
Are there any charges against him of not having
done what the Church of England ritual and service
required to be done ?
Mr. Bovill—Yes ; and another charge against him
was that he mixed water with the wine in the com-
munion service, and also that he was in the habit of
alevating the " cup" containing the sacramental
wine, as was customary with the Roman' Catholic
priests to do inthe ceremony of the mass. He also,
It-appeared, adopted "seven sacraments," as in the
Church of Rome, instead of two, recognised only by
the Church of England ; and there was also a hymn
in which he adopted the doctrine of " transubstan-
tiation." Those appeared to be the entire charges,
and he might add, for the further information of ,
the Court, that the applications to the bishop were
first by correspondence.
Lord Campbell—You may pass it over—we take
it for granted that your statement is correct, that
the bisop has refused. It is material for the Court
to know whether he refused to hear the complaint,
and, if he did, we can order him to show cause why
he should not do so.

Mr. Bovill thought it better that he should read
the correspondence. The first letter was from the
Rev. Edward Randall to the Bishop of Chichester,
and ran as follows :

"Feb. 5, 1858

"My Lord Bishop,—The paper, of which the enclosed is
a copy, came accidentally into my hands to-day. It is in
the rector's handwriting, and was given by him to the
schoolmaster, to be taught in the schools. lam in sole
charge just now, and will not allow it to be taught with-
out your lordship's sanction.

" I am, my lord, your obedientservant,
" EDIVD. RANDALL."

The paper referred to showed that there were
" seven Sacraments" recommended instead of " two,"
which was contrary to the Church of England;
and to that letter the bishop sent the following
reply :

" 43, Queen Anne-street, IV., Feb. 6, 1858.
"Rev. and Dear Sir,—Your letter of yesterday's date has
reached me here this evening, forwarded from Chichester
by the early day post.
" I cannot express the astonishment and pain with which
I have read the paper which accompanied it. I feel per-
suaded; however, on consideration and reflection, that there
must be some' mistake somewhere, or. some misapprehension
about it. I expect time will confirm the persuasion I have
thus expressed.
" Meanwhile' in reply to your letter, you must allow me
to say, I trust that nothing, not even my sanction as your
bishop, would ever induce you to concur in the teaching put
down upon that paper ; and, secondly, that you will always
have such confidence in me as to be assured I never could
give such sanction.
" The schoolmaster must now first be desired to give that
paper up, that it may be transmitted to me with his and
your initials upon it ; and, secondly, he must be asked for a
'further explanation about the way in which it came into his
hands, and for what purpose.
" These things must be done without delay, axd have the
goodness to send me the rector's present direction. Am I
right that, though of the same name, you are not related.,
" Your faithful brother,
"T. CICESTER."
"_The Rev. Ed. Randall, curate of Lavington

and Gralfham."
The Rev. Richard William Randall, who was absen t
from the rectory when that correspondence took
place, was addressed on the subject when he re-
turned by the Rev. Edward Randall, and he first
treated the matter as a joke, and'expressed a hope
that his curate was not in earnest. He then said
the doctrine contained in the paper was right, and
in accordance with ecclesiastical law, and the fol-
lowing letter was then addressed by the Rev. E.
Randall to the bishop :
"My Lord Bishop,--t have the honour to enclose to your
lordship the original paper, the subject .of this complaint.
It is in the handwriting ofi the rector, the Rev. Richard
William Randall, and was given by him to the schoolmas-
ter, to be taught in the schools. I regret to add that
this is not all. On the return of the rector yesterday,
he immediately received from me intelligence of what
I had done. At first he treated it as a joke ; then he
said I was under obedience, and had no business to
take any step in the matter ; finally, he said that the paper
was right, that he had taught the substance of it in the
presence of the Bishop of Oxford, who fully concurred in
its contents. My Lord Bishop, if that be the case, then I
do not appeal through you, my diocesan, against that right
rev. prelate to his metropolitan. I publish my letter, and
hope you will allow me to do the same with yours.
"The rev. gentleman also stated that he had sent copies
of the said correspondence to the Times newspaper, and
also to the Earl of Shaftesbury."
To that letter the following was then addressed by
the Rev. Edward Randall to the Bishop of Chi-
chester :
_

"43, Queen Anne-street, W., Feb. 8, 1858, 11 p.m.
"Rev. and dear Sir,—l left home this afternoon soon
after one o'clock, before the delivery of the second post let-
ters. Not returning until near ten, of course I could not
reply to your letter of yesterday's date by this evening's
post. I regret this very much, for I deprecate most strongly
this step which you represent yourself as having already
taken of publishing your letter. I consider the proceeding
as uncalled for, hasty, and likely to be productive of much
evil. It is under a faint hope of your receiving this in time
to prevent your carrying your design into execution that I
now write for to-morrow morning's early post. I must
desire that you will allow yourself to be guided by me in
this important matter, and abstain from the publishing you
speak of.
" I wish to hear from you again immediately, and you
will, of course, receive a further communication from me.
" I observe with surprise that your envelope bears to-
day's Chichester post mark.—l remain, rov. and dear sir,
your faithful diocesan and brother,
"A. T. CICESTER.
"Rev. Edwd. Randall, Curate, Wool Lavington
and Graffham."
To that letter the Rev. Edward Randall wrote the
following reply
" My Lord Bishop,—l hasten to reply to' your letter,
received this morning. A letter goes by this post to the
Times to withdraw the documents sent to it. I regret that
you consider my conduct hasty, and beg to assure you that,
for the future, I submit to your lordship's guidance. "
I ought perhaps to say that I have forwarded a state-
ment of the case to Lord Shaftesbury, who, I believe, takes
a great interest in Church matters. Your lordship will, I

feel sure, request the noble earl to remain silent on the mat-
ter if you think silence•right and expedient.
"It seems to me impossible that the right rev. owner of
this' estate can be cognisant of the real inward state of things
here; I have hitherto been- kept silent by the assurance
that he both knows and approves.
"From time to time I have asked, ' And what does our
bishop think of it ?' and the answer has been, that, tholie",;:h
sometimes surprised, your lordship has been quieted ty the
assurance of the Bishop of Oxford's approval."
The bishop replied to.that letter in UK; following
terms :
. -
. "43, Queen Anne-street, W., Feb. -23, 1858, 9 p.m.
Rev. and Dear Sir,—Your letter of this day's date has
just reached me from Cambridge,. I cannot approve of
your returning to Graffham until I see my way more clearly
through the perplexities which at present must beset you
there. I write this in the hope of stopping. your departure
from Cambridge, or, at least, your return to Gr..ffham until
you hear again frOM
;4 I remain Rev. and dear Sir,
"Your diocesan and faithful brother',
" Rev. E. Randall." " A. T. OICESTER.
There was then an interval, and the bishop did
not again communicate with the Rev. Edward
Randall until February, when he addressed the
following letter to him : •
" 43, Qneen Anne-street, W., 24th Feb. 1858.
" Rev. and Dear Sir have now examined into all the
circumstances connected with the paper on Sacraments en-
fruited by the rector of Graffham to his schoolmaster, and
I have also called for and perused the whole of the very vo-
luminous papers drawn up by Mr. Randall for catechetical
instruction of the children there.
" The first paper, of which you sent me a paper taken by
itself unexplained, and with the unmodified statement of
the use to which it was to be applied, was indeed startling
enough. But you will remember that from the first
I expressed my conviction that there must be some
misapprehension, some mistake. I am thankful to say
examination has fully confirmed that impression. It would
be inconsistent with the facts, as I have them now before
me, and with the whole tenor of the rector's catechetical
teaching, to found upon the accidental detachment of that
imperfect paper from the whole of the next an imputation
upon the rector, of the least inclination on his part towards
Rome, and of a design to insinuate her tendency amongst
the children. The design and. object I am now satisfied
have been precisely the rovers°.
" With respect to yourself, I cannot acquit you of great
haste and precipitation in the matter. No one would have
surmised,, from your previous letter to me, that your
rector, whoinlyou were dilating upon to me, was expected at
Graffham the day after you wrote to me. An opportunity
was then at hand for you to have learnt from him what was
the purpose for which he had placed that paper in the
schoolmaster's hands, and, at any rate, it would only have
been just and fair to him, if you intended to send the paper
to me, to have waited the one day, which alone was neces-
sary, to have received your letter, and the paper and the
rector's statement and explanation together; and this was
not all, but you acted in an equally precipitate and unjus-
tifiable, as WellaS unectlesiastical and insubordinate way
towards me. Having appealed to me, you do not wait fur
what I may judge or do, but you appeal at once over me to the
litnes newspaper ; and not satisfied with this, you next appeal
to Lord Shaftesbury, and now you tell me you are appealing
to the Cambridge professors. I use the term "appeal," for
this is really the import of the reference you have made
to these different quarters. This is so extraordinary a
mode of proceeding, so entirely unclerical and contemptuous
towards your bishop, in whose hands- you had placed the
matter, that I cannot avoid reproving you for it, as I hereby
do ; and I most earnestly exhort you to be less precipitate
and more circutaspect in future.
"Again, I learn with extreme pain—indeed, you tell me
yourself that last Sunday you abstained from communicat-
ing, because you could not partake with. Mr. Randall. Now,
this was an extreme and most indefensible measure. No
authority had condemned your rector, and if you could not
quell your own convictions to his prejudice you should have
stayed at home, and not have exhibited to the parishioners
the scandal of one clergyman excommunicating another—
the curate, the rector.

" Now, I have not allowed myself to be biassed by this
extraordinary conduct on your part. You know I have
listened to and received all you had to say or write. If the
rector were unfaithful, I was bound to inquire into charges
to that effect, however strangely they might be alleged be-
fore me. I have done so, and done it fully, and am thankful
to be able to repeat he stands in my judgment clear and
upright.
" And now, finally, to a very painful part of the business,
viz.. your own position. It is clear your continuance at
Graffham can be productive of comfort and of good neither
to yourself nor anyone else. The parish cannot be in a
quiet settled state while you are there. I think you told
me yourself that before this matter had been arranged you
should leave at Lady-day. I trust this will be carried out,
and the less you are there the better.—l remain, Rev. and
dear sir, your diocesan and faithful brother,
"Rev. Ed. Randall." "A. T. CICHIBTER.

The matter did not end there. On the 10th March
a letter was reeeived,by the Rev. Edward Randall.
expressive of his regret at being obliged to recal
the testimonials which he had given him. That
letter ran as follows :

"Doddington, March 10, 1858.
" Rev. Sir,—l hereby retract the testimonials which I
gave you before your recent disgraceful conduct, and re-
quire you to return them to me.
" I remain your obedient servant,
" Rev. E. Randall." " S. Oxim
A further letter was addressed to him by James
Randall, to the following effect:—

" boddington, March 10, 1858.
" Rev. Sir,—l find myself under the painful necessity of
forbidding you to make any further use of a testimonial I
formerly gave you, and lhereby require you to return it to

me. You may address it to rite at Binfield. Your most
unhandsome behaviour to your rector, and the language I
understand you to have held concerning your bishop, in-
duce me to take this step.
" Yours obediently,
_ _ _

The Rev. Edward Randall." " jiNIES
The consequence was the •Rov. Edward Randall
retired from the parish. Well, matters remained
quiet until the autumn of 1858, when the affair
again excited much attention in Sussex, in conse-
quence of the matter having been taken up by a
paper called the National Standard. Now it was
clear, said Mr. Bovill, that if the reports and
charges here circulated could not be investigated
the whole church must suffer.

Lord Campbell—That consideration cannot affect
our judgment.
Mr. Bovill would contend, however, that under
the, operation of the Church Discipline Act the very
existence of such reports required the issuing of a
commission on the part of the bishop. The power
of determining what were the doctrines of the
church did not surely rest with one bishop.

Lord Campbell—the whole question must be
determined by the act of parliament.
Mr. Bovill would'call attention to the wording
of the act of Parliament,- but at the same time he
could not help saying that there would be little
uniformity in the church if the act were capable of
a different constriction from that which he con-
tended for.
Lord Campbell—Let us come to the point
whether it is obligatory upon the bishop to issue
the commission.
Mr. Bovill—Their lordships would surely con-
sider what was the object of the general law. Uni-
formity, as to the doctrines and practice of the
church had been insisted on in statute after statute.
Mr. Justice Wightman—We have simply to
consider whether the power vested by this act of
Parliament is discretionary or not ?
Lord Campbell—lt is quite plain that from the
period of the Reformation down to the year 1810
the church could rely on no such protection.
Mr. Bovill—But before that act passed it was in
the power of any one, by using his office of
judge, to put the ecclesiastical tribunals in
motion against any clergyman charged with such
mpraanctitcleisena s

authorities to prove that the exercise of the power
of the bishop was not simply discretionary but it
was compulsory on him to issue a commission of
inquiry, on a prima facie case being made oat,
especially relying upon the case of " Ditcher v.
Denison.

On the conclusion of the argument,
Lord Campbell said Mr. Bovill might take a rule.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
STJGGATE V. SUGGATB.--CURIOUS CASE.
This was a suit brought by the wife of a teacher
and seller of music at Lowestoft, Norfolk, for a
judicial separation on the ground of cruelty.
Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., Mr. Macqueen, and Mr.
Crouch appeared, for the petitioner ; Mr. Power,
Q.C., Dr. Spinks, and Mr. Keane for the respon-
dent.
The parties were married in July, 1848, and had
four children, the youngest of whom was a year and
a half old. The petitioner alleged that her hus-
band began to treat her with neglect 'very soon after
her marriage, and that he had frequently struck
her. In 1849 she went home to her father, a grocer,
named Chenery, living at Beccles, and stayed
with him for six months. On her return he
resumed his former unkind conduct ; but she lived
with him till July last, when she found three letters,
of a violent amatory character, in his shop. They
were supposed to be addressed to a pupil of her
husband ; but it was not proved that they had
ever been sent, or that the young lady had ever
given Mr. Suggate the smallest encouragement
whatever.
Mrs. Suggate l who was examined and cross-exa-
mined at great length, admitted having circulated
printed copies of these letters in the neighbour-
hood. She also admitted that she had called her
husband a - villain. A number of witnesses
were examined in corroboration of the petitioner's
statement.
On the other side it was contended that Mrs.
Suggate was of a very fretful and dissatisfied tem-
per, and that she was untidy, not to say dirty, in
her dress and person. Nevertheless the respondent
had always behaved kindly both to her and to her
children. A rather curious explanation was given
of the letters. The respondent stated that while on a

..i sad catastrophe; attended by circumstances of
an extraordinary and somewhat mysterious nature,
occurred in Birmingham on Friday night. It seems
that for some time past Mr. George Bugg, head
master of St. Philip's National School, Lichfield-
street, has with his wife occupied apartments at the
house of Mr. Cope, 6, Howe-street. Mrs. Bugg was
superintendent of the girls' school, and though we
have no information on this point, we may presume
that both were regarded as well conducted respect-
able persons, enjoying the confidence of the Hon.
and Rev. Grantham Yorke, Rector of. St. Philip's,
Mr. Bugg is a gentlemanly-looking man, is about
26 years of age ; his wife is a year or so younger,
and rather prepossessing in appearance and manner.
At the house of Mrs. Stanley, in A B Row, Coleshill-
street, and closely adjoining Howe-street, lodged a
young man named Alfred Payne. He was a
native of London, but for the past six months had
been working as a journeyman hairdresser for Mr.
:Morley, of New-street, by whom he was much
liked, though of somewhat rollicking and careless
habits. The back door of each of the two houses
opened into the same yard or court, and for
some weeks past the neighbours haVe noticed an
intimacy betwixt Mrs. Bugg and young Payne,
which some of them did not scruple to hint to her
was scarcely such as a married woman ought to
encourage. There is no evidence, however,"that
Mr. Bugg knew of his wife being the subject of
this gossip, or that he had ever seen Payne and
her together. He, it seems, had never spoken to
Payne until Tuesday or Wednesday last ; his in-
tercourse, indeed, with those living in the yard
being of the slightest possible character. On Fri-
day night, towards 11 o'clock, Payne and a fellow
lodger were standing at the back door, when Mr.
Bugg, smoking a cigar, walked from his own house
to the end of the entry. Asking Payne to join him,
he was heard to propose that they should go some-
where and have a glass of ale together. It appears
that they went to the Howe-street wine vaults, and
had each a glass of beer, and it is presumed it was
then proposed to go elsewhere, as Payne returned
to his lodgings, borrowed a shilling, said he was
going to have another glass with Mr. Bugg, and
that he would be home in twenty minutes, or there-
abouts. Passing many public-houses on their way,
the two appear to have gone direct to New Vaux-
hall, a distance of three quarters of a mile from
their lodgings, where, having called for a glass of
gin and a glass of beer, they were served at the bar
window, and while drinking stood in the passage
chatting together in a pleasant friendly manner.
It would seem that the tavern and gardens have
been recently re-opened by Mr. Wilder, a well-
known local pyrotechnist. During the two months
he has been there the premises have been twice
entered by burglars, and for the last week or two
he has been in the habit of keeping a shot-loaded
rifle in his bedroom, firing it off in the garden just
before closing for the night, and then re-charging
it. Mr. Wilder's object was to show thieves who
might be lurking about that there were firearms in
the house. Being himself from home on Friday
night, his barmaid brought down the rifle from the
bedroom, in order that one of the men servants
might fire it off, and this man being engaged in some
other way at the moment, she laid down the gun in
the passage, resting the muzzle against the franie of
the smoke-room door, until she could summon a waiter
or some one else to discharge it. Bugg and Payne
stood close by at the time, having then been in the
house about five minutes. The barmaid had turned
her back upon them, and was in the act of opening
the parlour door to call the waiter, when a loud
report was heard, Bugg was seen with the rifle in
his hands pointed towards his companion, and at
the same instant poor Payne fell to the ground a
corpse. The charge, fired at a distance of not mom
.than a couple of feet, had entered- immediately
beneath the unfortunate fellow's right eollar-bone.
As may be imagined, the scene that ensued was a
most painful one. Bugg exclaimed, " 0 God ! have
I shot him ?" and appeared to be in an absolutely
frenzied state. The necessity of fetching a surgeon
being spoken of, he rushed from the house in search
of one, and soon returned with Mr. Hadley's assis-
tant, Mr. W. W. Philips, of Great Francis-street,
Mr. Davies, of Ashted-row, arriving soon after-
wards. Medical aid, however, was of no avail, the
position of the wound showing that death must
have necessarily instantaneous. When Payne fell
the blood gushed from his body as though it were
being pumped out. Bugg, it seems, while search-
ing for a surgeon, also ran home and told his wife
what had taken place, the account of the sad affair
which he gave being that it was accidental. He
said he merely pointed it at Payne in sport, not
thinking it was loaded. However, he must not only
have pointed the gun, but raised the hammer, as
the latter was in contact with the capped nipple
when the barmaid brought the piece from the bed-
room. Though the catastrophe seemed, prima facie,
one of those accidents which are so frequently the
result of culpable carelessness, a police-constable
deemed it his duty to apprehend Bugg and take
him to Duke-street station. He remains in custody,
and will be brought before the coroner at the inquest
which is to be held to-day at New Vauxhall.
The investigation will probably be a lengthened
one, owing to the existence of certain circumstances
which tend to impart an aspect of suspicion to the
affair. We believe it will appear that on Saturday,
when the body of Payne was searched by the police,
a number of letters were found in his pockets,
signed
" N.," the initial of Mrs. Bugg's name,
Nelly, and believed to be in her handwrit-
ing. These were couched in the warm terms pecu-
liar to lovers' billets-dons, one or two of
idetinlsiceomtvheabrteti,tnhhgee

yN(Vwshich was being carried on. In the pocket
intrigueleiisdb eanlitdl
of deceased's working coat, left at Mr. Moorlev's,
was also found a letter in the same handwriting, in
which the writer said that if he and Payne were
doomed never to meet again on this earth, she
hoped they would meet in heaven. This letter
must have been written on the morning of Friday,
and it is ascertained that Payne and a lady similar
in , appearance to Mrs. Bugg were seen at the
Shakspeare-rooms on Thursday evening. These
are the facts bearing on this point, so for as we are
at present justified in divulging them. Of course
it is possible that explanations may be given which
will clear the case of all suspicion, and show that
the death of Payne was purel?accidental. The first
thought which naturally strikes one is the seeming
impossibility that the gun could have been used by
premeditation, for although Bugg has been seen at
New Vauxhall, there is no reason to believe that he
knew the landlord was accustomed to fire off a
loaded gun towards half-past 11 every night. Even
had he been aware of this, it is difficult to see how
he could have calculated on obtaining possession of
it on its being brought down stairs. All these
matters will no doubt be carefully inquired into by
Dr. Birt Davies and the jury.

QUEEN'S SPEECH.

MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,
I avail myself with satisfaction, in the present
anxious state of public affairs, of the advice of my
Parliament, •which I have summoned to meet with
the least possible delay.
I have directed that papers shall be laid before
you, from which you will learn how earnest and
unceasing have been my endeavours to preserve the

peace of Europe.
Those endeavours have unhappily failed ; and
war has been declared between France and Sar-
dinia on one side, and Austria on the other. Re-
ceiving assurances of friendship from both the
contending parties, I intend to maintain between
them a strict and impartial neutrality ; and I hope,
with God's assistance, to preserve to my people
the blessing of continued peace.
Considering, however, the present state of Europe,
I have deemed it necessary to the security of my
dominions and the honour of my Crown to increase
my naval forces to an amount exceeding that which
has been sanctioned by Parliament.
I rely with confidence on your cordial concur-
rence in this precautionary measure of defensive
policy.
The King of the Two Sicilies having announced
to me the death of the King, his father, and his own
accession, I have thought fit, in concert with the
Emperor of the French, to renew my diplomatic
intercourse with the Court of Naples, which had
been suspended during the late reign.
All my other, foreign relations continue on a
perfectly satisfactory footing.
GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE Op COMMONS,
The Estimates for the year, for which provision
has not been made by the late Parliament, will be
?Immediately laid before you, together with such
Supplementary Estimates as present circumstances
render indispensably necessary for the public
service.

MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN/
I have directed a bill to be prepared for giving
effect, so far as the aid of Parliaraext may be re-
quired, to certain suggestions of the Commissioners
whom I had appointed to inquire into the best
mode of efficiently manning the Royal Navy ; and
I recommend this important subject to your imme-

diate attention.
Measures of legal and social improvement, the
progress of which, in the late Parliament, was
• necessarily interrupted by the dissolution, will
again be brought under your consideration.
I should with pleasure give my sanction to any
well-considered measure for the amendment of
the laws which regulate the representation
of my people in Parliament ; and should you be
of opinion that the necessity of giving your
immediate attention to measures of urgency
relating to the defence and financial condition of
the country will not leave you sufficient time for
legislating, with due deliberation, during the pre-
sent Session, on a subject at once so difficult
and so extensive, I trust that at the com-
mencement of the next Session, your earnest
atention w ill be given to a question, of which an
'early and satisfactory settlement would be greatly
to the public ;advantage.
I feel assnz ed that you will enter with zeal and
diligence on the discharge of your parliamentary
du ties, and I way that the result of your delibera-
tions may tona to secure the continuance of peace
abroad, and pr ogressive improvement at home.

Now that L he .mean and atrocious raid oil Austria
against Piedm, Intese civilians and women,. on their
food, forage, clo thic,g, and money, has tez ininated,
it may be convei_ dull to our readers if we recal the

pririnipal facts and dates relating to the war for the
la st six weeks.
It was on Monday, the 18th of April, that our
Government, relying too much, we fear, on Austrian
processions, coloured their statements, in regard to
their foreign policy, with too strong expressions in
favour of Austria ; they spoke of her dignified for-
bearance, and, it seems, intentionally created the
impression; of which Lord'JoHN RUSSELL was not
slow to avail himself, that they might be induced
to support the cause of Austria if she were worsted.
On the following Saturday, the 23d of
1 disso-
lution only two days after the
of our Parliament, Austria sent
her utterly inexcusable ultimatum to Piedmont.
The Monday after, the 25th, Lord DERBY dined at
ttlie Mansion-house, and lost no time in denouncing
in bit:irer language—in the language, we should
say,
of an English gentleman of honour who had
b. 77 supposing another's honour to be
been deceived
equal to his own—til wicked act of the Austrian
:
Government, We think it ulsirable at this moment
to recal his Lordship's words, for 111eY have now a
solemn significance :—"Austria," said he, " has taken
on herself that fearful responsibility which a..taces
to that country which first deserts the peaceful wa:B
of diplomacy, and subjects the question in dispute to
the terrible arbitrament of the sword." Again :
" There was nothing, in my judgment, to justify the
hasty, the precipitate, and, because involving the
horrors of war, the criminal step, which has been
taken by Austria."
At almost every hustings throughout the country
these sentiments, in some form, were uttered and
applauded. England had done what she could to
avert bloodshed ; she could, as Lord DERBY said
the same evening, be trifled with no longer. She
retreated to the dignified silence of a benevolent
but spurned, or rather deceived, adviser.
The decision of Sardinia could not for a moment
be doubtful. At half-past five on Tuesday, the
26th of April, the day after Lord DERRY'S speech,
BATOR KELLERSBERG received the reply of the
KING ; and on the night of Thursday, the 28th
it would appear (for some accounts stated
the 28th others the 29th) the Austrians began their
passage of the Ticino ; a passage they have, happily,
had to make again, in the reverse direction, and with
soldiers at their heels, instead of unarmed civilians
merely in their front. They crossed, it may be re-
membered, at three principal points—their right
close by Lake Maggiore on the north, at the foot of
the Alps ; their centre at Buffalora, on the road to
Novara and Vercelli ; and their left, further south,
directed towards Vigevano and Mortara. Imme-
diately after there appears to have been movements
of considerable bodies from Piacenza and Pavia
along the north bank of the Po. Count GYULAI
issued his proclamation declaring his intention to
respect the lives, honour, and property of the
inhabitants; to interpret which by the results,
we must suppose either that he intended to
delude them into non-concealment of what
he intended to plunder, or that his brutal mob of
Uhlans and Croats, and selfish Austrians proper, were
under no discipline whatever. Till about the 10th
of May these locusts continued to spread themselves
over the long parallelogram formed by the Ticino
and the Sesia on the east and west, with the shorter
sides formed by the Alps and the Po on the north
and the south ; chiefly about the southern portion
of it from Novara to the Po, where we read of them
at almost every place -where they could get some-
thing to eat, or clothes to exchange for rags. They
j had also pushed for a short time forward over the
Sesia at Vercelli chiefly, into the second parallelo-
gram, which is formed by that river and the Dora
Baltea, along which, as the chief protection
of Turin, General LA MARMORA had formed
his line of defence. 'We read of them here for a
few days at Pobietto, close on the Po, at Trino, not
far from it, at Tronzano, ten or fifteen miles north
of it, and at Saluzzola, about ten miles yet further,
north. Once, indeed, they occupied Biella, and
ventured to peep at Ivrea on the Dora Baltea itself ;
but as it looked as if it would be warm work to
pillage a town in LA MARMORA'S line of defence,
they retreated to where women and shopkeepers
dared not refuse them what they asked. It was
about the 10th that they had straggled to
their farthest westward , in search of booty.
They then commenced strengthening themselves
on the Sesia to enable them to sweep the
parallelogram formed by it; and to pass by
the rivers at leisure ; and also began moving
their troops to the great angle formed by the Ticino
and the Po, their headquarters being first at Lo-
mella, and subsequently at Mortara.
Meantime the Allies had not been inactive. It
certainly appears as if they hardly expected the
real declaration of war—the ultimatum—or they
would probably have been prepared to defend the
territory between the Sesia and the Ticino from
spoliation ; but they rightly considered it as
a declaration of war. It was supposed that
Turin was to have been seized, and the Sardinian
Court fugitives, before the French could arrive to
succour, and at first we were almost all shuddering
at the thought of the brutal Hapsburgs at Turin ;
but it soon appeared that food and clothing were
the noble objects of Austrian ambition, and that
Frenchmen had not, in respect of rapid movement,
degenerated from the days of " the little corporal."
They were in motion across the Alps towards Susa,
only 30 miles by railway from Turin, and were
there the very day the Austrians had crossed in tho
opposite direction. On the day the Austrians
crossed the Ticino, Friday the 29th April, the
French had also begun to arrive at Genoa ; the
i Petrie indeed stated that 40,000 troops were there,
including
the Imperial Guards. The Austrians,
most ludicrously indeed, charge the French with
beginning
the war, because by the 28th or 29th
they were in Piedmont ; as if the ultimatum of the
23d had left the Allies any other course than to
look to the safety of Piedmont immediately. On
the 13th the Emperor of the FRENCH himself ar-
rived at Genoa, and issued his proclamation ; the
French troops and materiel of war have continued
to arrive ever since ; their ships took naval posses-
, where Prince
sion of the Adriatic by the 18th ; some French
soldiers also landed at Leghorn
NAPOLEON joined them on the 23d, to
be ready
probably for a flank movement through Parma,
by Piacenza, and the Austrians seem to have thought
partly to neutralise this movement by sending
10,000 men to Ancona ; there, however, while
treating the Holy Father's subjects as their breth-
ren were treating the bourgeois and peasantry of
Piedmont, they were called to order by the Pope
himself.
The Austrians now began on the whole a retreat-
ing policy ; but it were useless to record the petty
skirmishes, not very clear in their object to us ;
perhaps not so to the parties themselves. 'By the
20th of May they had so decidedly withdrawn
themselves to the east of the Sesia that they blew
up the bridge at Vercelli, and withdrew several
miles from it after grossly maltreating the peasan-
try. At that time the French were beginning to
move northwards from Alessandria, which they
had of course made the military basis of their
operations ; since, we find the Austrians dis-
puting, 'unsuccessfully, their passage of the
Po at Valenza. It was at this time that
Count STADION wishing; as he says, to ascertain

where they lay in greatest force, made his recon-
noitring advance to the south of the Po, which re-
sulted in the battle of Montebello, and gave to the
French and Sardinians the prestige of the first
victory, and the trophy of 200 prisoners as its living
commemoration, and its certificate to the citizens
of Marseilles. Another movement was also made
,in the North about this time. It is singular that
nothing more was ever heard about the Austrian
corps which crossed at Lake Maggiore. Whether
it recrossed, or whether it marched southward to
Novara we do not, know. About the 21st, how-
ever, General GARIBALDI, the very man for the
work, undertook a diversion there on the Austrian
right. By the 23d of May he was certainly at
Varese ; soon after at Como, which illuminated for
him. Immediately after we read that the Valteline
was in insurrection ; and though, according to
Austrian accounts, they had "put salt on his tail,"
he managed to slip through their hopeful fingers,
and we find him again atVarese, which the Austrians
had entered in his absence, sending them about
their business, and stopping them in the act of
plundering a town in the territory which they yet
call their own. All was done by 8,000 infantry, vo•
lunteers, with no artillery, except some which he
Gaon took from the Austrians.
117.., now come to the dates at which details will
need fur,ller verification. It is however plain that
ould like to have lived a little
the Austria. W
longer at the excent,' of the Piedmontese civilians,
for they had made theme
elves a strong position at
Palestro, six or seven mild 'outh-west of Vercelli.
It was in forcing this position on the 30th of May
that the Sardinians, assisted most admirably and
courageously by a French Regiment of Zouaves,
inflicted on the Austrians two bloody defeats,
one that morning, and another the following
morning. Palestro had been contested ten
days previously ; the French and Sardinians
then attacked the Austrians, and drove them
back to Orfengo ; but the Austrian sill:Torts
coming up, they in turn drove back the
Allies g
to the west of the Sesia. Such, at least, was the
Austrian account. On the 31st they had to tell a
very different story to that which they told on the
21st ; had to evacuate Novara and even Mortara,
and in connection with getting away from the latter
suffered the grand defeat which we had to record
yesterday, and with the details of which will pro-
bably be concluded the history of the affair of
the ultimatum, and the villanous raid into the
plains of Piedmont.

.The remarkable facts about the Liberal meeting
yesterday in Willis's Rooms are—that it was the
assembly of a positive and deplorable minority,
and that that minority had not even the advantage
of being by any means unanimous. Altogether—
after such a wonderful flourish of trumpets—there
were only 274 there in answer to the round-robin
circular. And yesterday, by four of the clock,
there had been sworn in 584 members in the House
of Commons. An aggregate of 584 M.P.s had
taken the oaths and signed the parliamentary roll
before Mr. SPEAKER on the afternoon of the very day
when 274 members answered the joint summons of
Lord PALMERSTON and Lord JOHN RUSSELL.
Compare that sum total of 274 with the aggregate
of the members of the House-654—and there re-
mains obviously a balance of very nearly four hun-
dred members who did not respond to the Siamese
Summons to the fashionable concert room in St.
James's. Altogether, 380 were not in Willis's
Rooms, leaving a clear majority of 10% to
the :non-respondents ! But even comparing the
aggregate of those present yesterday afternoon to
Ilisten to the opinions upon the present crisis ex-
pressed by Lord PALMERSTON, by Lord JOHN
RUSSELL, Mr. BRIGHT, Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT, and
the rest—comparing this assembled crowd of 274
M.P.'s with the total of those members actually
sworn in before the Speaker by the close of yes-
,
terday's sittings, the majority against them even
then was one of no less than 310—a result giving
a clear advantage of 36 to their antagonists, or at any
rate to the non-sympathisers ! Even regarding
this assembly of 274 at its best—it was a
meeting of a minority, as we have said, with-
out the advantage of unanimity. The Ti»zes puts
the dissentients at three. But how the Times, or
any other authority, could possibly fathom the
minds, and breasts, and consciences of those 274
members and arrive at a distinct conclusion upon
the matter baffles all conjecture, when it
is remembered that the meeting was in
no way put to a test, either by a show
of hands, or by the ballot —by any
scrutiny one way or the other—parliamentary or
unparliamentary. It is only certain that three, out
of the 274, avowed their want of confidence in the
double leaders—" double, double, toil and trouble."
But how many, of those who did not give utterance
to their individual intentions, sympathised with
those who spoke out, and that, too, it must be con-
fessed, pretty plain, the Times cares not to inquire.
Even Mr. BRIGHT, himself the great card of
all to be won over to the noble friends—
the par mobile fratrum—even Mr. BRIGHT declared
explicitly that if he were satisfied that the continued
neutrality of England would be better preserved
by maintaining the present Government in power,
nothing should induce him to aid in destroying
Lord DERBY'S Administration. As for Mr. ROE-
BUCK he endorsed every word uttered by him with
such remarkable emphasis very recently down
at Milford Haven. He proclaimed in the noble
lord's own hearing his utter want of confidence
in the leadefship of Viscount PALMERSTON. His
wholesome abhorrence of the Old Whigs we all
know, and we know more than that, that this same
abhorrence of the Whigs has latterly been rising to
the magnitude and importance of a national senti-
ment. Insomuch does Lord JOAN himself recog-
nise that the day of anything like pure and simple
Whig domination has passed away from the grasp of
the Great Families,that he acknowledges himself now
the necessity of bringing together the various sec-
tions of the Opposition, if any serious intention is
to be entertained of transforming that Opposition
into a Government—of blending in the cup of
health to be offered to BRITANNIA the wine, and
oil, and vinegar of the Old Whigs, the Peelites (so
called without a PEEL amongst them), and the
advanced Liberals ! The only question now re-
maining being one as to the possibility of
their amalgamation. Under what cooling
down in one way, under what warming
11P in another, the wine, the oil, and the vinegar
are to be mixed, remains yet to be brought by a
