THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 1, 1851.

annual sum of £1,200, set apart (nominally) for the
Civil List Pensions, pursuant to Act 1 VICT. c. 2,
we will here minutely epitomize :

Total.

£1,200

That total of merely one thousand two hundred
pounds sterling being, as the italics indicate, most
unjustifiably diminished this year to a minor maxi-
mum of merely £9OO altogether. The mode of re-
duction is characteristic—and is, in fact, only
according to precedent. But it is full time that
the system should be put an end to, and the grant
appropriated henceforth in the manner originally
intended and expressed by the Act of Parliament.

BUSINESS OF THE SESSION

The Earl of DERBY wished to to know what was the
state of business at the present moment, and he also wished
to know whether the Government would fix a date after
which important public business would be read a second
time.

The Earl of GRANVILLE said it was impossible to fix
a date, as the session had been one of a somewhat anomL-
lous character. There were only two important public
measures which remained to be introduced—the Endowed
Schools Bill and the Roman Catholic Charities Bill. The
former had been referred to a select committee, and'an
arrangement had been come to which he believed would
be satisfactory both to churchman anddissenter, and it was
proposed in regard to Roman Catholic Charities Bill, to in-
troduce a continuance bill for another year.

PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.

Lord TEYN H A M begged to ask the Government whether,
in preparing a measure forparliamentary reform, they would
take into consideration the expediency of not proposing any
property or pecuniary qualification to entitle a person to be
registered as a voter. The •noble lord proceeded at great
length to argue the desirability of such a proposition.

Ti-ILS -DAY'S MARKET'S.

The leading coun try markets held on Saturday were
scantily supplied with wheat, for which the demand ruled
steady, on rather higher terms. Most descriptions of
spring corn changed hands slowly, at about stationary
prices.

The latest continental advices are to the effect that very
little business has been passing iu wheat for export.
Barley and other articles have sold slowly. In the United
States both wheat and flour continue to decline.

The arrivals of English produce up to our market last
week were very moderate. From abroad we received
21,689 qrs. of wheat, 3,825 barley, 55,727 oats, 15 beans,
1,298 peas, 215 linseed, 15 rapeseed, 160 sundry seeds, and
693 sacks of flour.

A very limited supply of English wheat was cn sale in
to-day's market, coastwise and by land carriage. Amongst
it were about 100 quar ers of new from Essex and Kent.
The Talavera samples came to hand in excellent condition,
and were held at 56s per quarter, but the condition of the
rough chaff parcels was by no means good. The demand
for all kinds ruled steady, at fully last Monday's prices ;
indeed, in some instances, the quotations were a shade
higher than on that day.

The show of foreign wheat was extensive. All good and
fine samples were in fair request, and prices were fully sup-
ported. Low and middling parcels moved off slowly at late
rates.

Floating cargoes of grain maintained last week's cur-
rency.

The few samples of new barley in the market were in
poor condition. Old qualities were dull, but not cheaper.
There was ‘,er;-y- little inquiry for malt, at barely late rates.
Owing to large arrivals from abroad, the oat trade was
heavy at 6d. per qr. less money.
Beans were held at full quotations, but the demand for
them was by no means active. New grey peas were selling
at 365. per qr., with a moderate inquiry.
The flour trade was steady at full quotations, but town-
made parcels fell to 435. per 2801 b.
_ _

New white mustard seed was offering at 18s. to 20s. per
bushel.

TREATRICAL BENEFITS.

The close of the theatrical season is, as usual, ushered in
by the number of appeals on the part of the managers and
actors to their patrons. Mr. E. T. Smith, the lessse of
Drury-lane, is so fortunate in the number of his friends,
that his own theatre does not suffice for their accommoda-
tion, and he takes his benefit to-night (Monday) at Cre-
morne-gardens. Mr. Webster, the lessee of the A.delphi,
and Mr. W. S. Emden, the joint-lessee of the Olympic,
will respectively take their benefits on Saturday (the (ith)
and Saturday week (the 13th). Next Thursday and Friday
will be devoted at the Olympic Theatre to the respective
benefits of Mr. G. Vining and Miss Wyndham, both
favourite artists of the establishment.

The Lord-Lieutenant and Chief Governor of the
Tower, Field-Marshal Viscount Combermere, has
appointed Mr. Thomas Wrake Ratcliff, of Dean Colet
House, White Horse- street, Commercial-road., to be the
Steward of the Court Leet and Court of Record within the
precincts and liberty of the Tower of London, and as such
steward to be coroner for her Majesty within the said
precincts.

THE SICKLES TRAGEDY.

The following is an extract from a letter from
Mr. Sickles in defence of the course he has takrn
My reconciliation with my wife was my own
act, done without consultation with any relative,
connection, friend, or adviser. Whatever blame, if'
any, belongs to the step, should fall upon me. lam
prepared to defend what I have done before the only
tribunals I recognise as having the slightest claim to
jurisdiction over the subject—my own conscience
and the bar of Heaven. lam not aware of any sta-
tute or code of morals which makes it infamous to
forgive a woman ; nor is it usual to make our
domestic life a subject of consultation with friends,
no matter how near and dear to us. And I cannot
allow even all the world combined to dictate to
me the repudiation of my wife, when I think it
right to forgive her, and to restore her to my con-
fidence and protection. If I ever failed to compre-
hend the utterly desolate position of an offending
though penitent., woman, the hopeless future, with
all its dark possibilities of danger to which she is
doomed when proscribed as an outcast, I can now
see, plainly enough, in the almost universal howl of
denunciation with which, she is followed to my
threshold, the misery and perils from which I have
rescued the mother of my child. And, although it
is very sad for me to incur the blame of friends and
the reproaches of many wise and good people, I
shall strive to prove to all who feel any interest in
me that if I am the first man who has ventured to
say to the world an erring wife and mother may be
forgiven and reckemed, that in spite of all the ob-
stacles in my path the good results of this example
shall entitle it to the imitation of the generous and
the commendation of the just."

PARLIAMENTARY REPORTS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—Will you allow me to correct an error in
your report of my speech of last night, where Mr.
Bright's name is introduced instead of Mr. Hors-
man's ? In expressing my dissent from the course
pursued by "my hon. friend near me," in passing
comr liments upon the French Emperor, after having
argued on the assumption that he would invade
us, I referred to Mr. Horsmari, who was sitting
below me, and not to Mr. Bright, who was at my
side. The mistake was a natural one, and in asking
for the first time, I believe, for the correction of
any reported speech of mine, I cannot, as a now
rather old member of the house, refrain from bear-
ing testimony to the marvellous accuracy with
which our speeches are reported.—l am, Sir, your
obedient servant, RICHARD COBDEN.

MARISCHAL COLLEGE

The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition signed
by about 18,000 persons, against the union of the Maris-
chal and King's Colleges, Aberdeen. The noble earl
entered at some length into the prayer of the petition, after
which

Earl GRANVILLE informed tho noble duke that a
royal commission was sitting on the subject, and as soon
as tke report was received it would be communicated to the
house.

from a stranger. He also could not lose sight of the
fact that the possession of a pistol in the state in
which this one was found showed that be was pre-
pared to have resorted to deadly violence if he had
been interrupted in the course of his guilty proceed-
ings. Under all the circumstances he felt it his duty
to order him to be kept in penal servitude for the
space of 10 years.

THE ARMY.

In consequence of the great injury frequently
arising to soldiers' rifles while being forwarded to
India and elsewhere, caused by careless packing,
the following order on the subject has just been
issued from the Horse Guards :
" The General Commanding-in- Chief has reason to believe
that sufficient care and attention are not paid to the packing
of the arms when troops proceed to sea ; his Royal Highness
accordingly calla the attention of commanding officers, and
of officers commanding at ports of embarkation, to the direc-
tions on this subject at pp. 296 and 315 of her Majesty's
Regulations, and desires that the following additional in-
structions be likewise strictly adhered to. When regiments
or armed detachments are warned for embarkation if a suf-
ficient number of arm chests, properly fitted with racks to
prevent the arms when packed rubbing against each other,
should not be in possession, application is to be made for the I
same to the nearest War-office storekeeper, Before the arms
are put into the cases they are to be thoroughly greased, a

plug of soft wool, saturated with oil (or some tallow) is to
be put into the nipple, the snap-cap is to be on, and the cock
let down upon it ; and care should be taken that the muzzle
stopper fits closely so as to render the barrel as nearly as
possible air-tight. These details should not be left to the
armourers alone, but should be superintended by captains
of companies, who are responsible that the arms are always
kept fit for service, and any officer who shall fail to attend
to these particulars will subject himself to serious censure,
and also become liable to the cost of repairing any damage
which may have resulted from his neglect. When the
troops go on board ship arrangements must be made with
the commander for the arm-chests beidg stored in a dry and
convenient place of access, and arms which at the periodical
inspections (which are not to be omitted) may be found rusty
are to be thoroughly cleaned and put in good order.
" By command,
" G. A. WETHERALL, Adjutant-General."

The Himalaya, screw troopship, Commander J.
Seccombe, sailed from Portsmouth at 9 a.m. yester-
day for Plymouth with the 36th Regiment on board,
consisting of 33 officers, 850 non-commissioned
officers and men, 74 soldiers' wives, 69 soldiers'
children, and 6 horses. After disembarking the
above at Plymouth, the Himalaya will proceed to
Liverpool, where she will take on board the Ist
battalion, 23d Foot, for conveyance to Dublin,
whence she will convey the Ist battalion 16th
Foot to Portsmouth. The Himalaya will also re-
ceive on board at Liverpool for passage round to
Portsmouth any seamen who have volunteered for
the Royal service.

MR. AND MRS. DRAYTON.

After successively introducing three of their little operas
to the notice of the public, Mr. and Mrs. Henri Drayton
terminated their engagement at the Adelphi on Saturday
last. Their performances, especially adapted for rooms,
Frarcely harmonised with the entertainments of a theatre,
while the dimensions of a regular stage were too large to
allow them their full effect. But the great merits of Mr.
Drayton as a dramatic vocalist are not to be overlooked,
and ho is so well supported by Mrs.Drayton that they have
a fair prospect of establishing themselves as permanent
44 entertainers" of a novel kind. They are about to leave
this country for the United States, where a wide field will
be open to their exertions.

LATEST NEWS.

THE BOMBAY MAIL.

We have been favoured with the following com-
munication from the office of the Red Sea and India
Telegraph Company :
"ADEN TELEGRAPH OFFICE, JULY 17.

"The Emea, with the Bombay mails of the sth,

has just arrived.

" The disaffection among the late Company's
European troops is on the increase.
" At Berhampore they are in open mutiny, have
entrenched themselves in the barracks, and elected
officers.

" The Madras Fusiliers have followed the ex-
ample of the Bengal troops.
_ .

" A general order has been published, to the
effect that every non-commissioned officer and sol-
dier in the three Presidencies, who enlisted for the
East India Company's forces, shall, if he desires it,
be allowed to take his discharge under the provi-
sions of the Act 10th and 11th Victoria, cap. 38.

COMMERCIAL.

There has not been much change in the money market
during the past fortnight. Accommodations on good securi-
ties are still procurable from the Bazaar on more favourable
terms than at the banks ; but dealers find difficulty in raising
funds for the clearance of their purchases. Government se-
curities have had an upward tendency consequent on a
slight improvement at Bombay, and the easy state of the
money market, but few bona fide transactions have been re-
ported. Present quotations are—Fours at 254 to 26 ; Fives,
ln to 14 ; and the New 51 per Cent. Loan, 6f to 7 per cent.
discount. Exchange on London.—A moderate business
has been done in local bank bills at 2s. 01d..t0 2s. ;
first-class bills at Old. to 2s. O d. ; and documents at 2s.
91d. to 2s. Op. In exports the produce niarket has shoiT
increased animation as regards saltpetre and oil seeds, and
the demands, especially for the latter, have been so active
that if supplies had not come% freely the prices would have
advanced considerably. Raw silk has been very sparingly'
dealt in; stocks of native sorts, both here and in the inte-
rior, are heavy, and dealers would gladly dispose of them
at a considerable reduction. Silk piece goods are little in
demand. Sugar has been in limited operation, and is being
offered at reduced prices. Rice, of low quality table, has
been engaged for Great Britain, but the demand is not
general. Jute, lac dye, and shell lac in very limited ope-
ration. Hides of good quality are scarce, and competed for
at extreme prices. In imports mule twist was in a very
favourable position at the date of our last report, and prices
had slightly gone up ; since last week, however, there has
been less disposition to purchase, and prices have again
fallen. Coloured yarns, especially Turkey red, are in fair
demand. Chintzes of fast colours are in moderate request.
Grey shirtings of medium qualities, 6flb. to 71b., in good
demand for local requirements. Grey madapollams, stocks
almost none, prices slightly improved. Grey jaconets are
in fair request. • Grey mulls are scarcely sought for at pre-
sent. White and figured shirtings are in limited request.
White mulls are in very moderate request. The metal
market continues inactive.
London, England, 1859-08-01

AUSTRALIA.

" The Benares, from Australia, arrived this morn-
ing. Dates—Sydney, the 14th of June ; Mel-
bourne, 17th ; Adelaide, 20th ; and King George's
Sound, the 24th of June ; and Mauritius, the 9th
of July.

"Rates of Exchange.—Sydney on London, at 60
days, 2 per cent. premium ; Sydney on London, at
30 days, 21 ; Melbourne rates, same ; Mauritius on
London, 60 days, 1 per cent. premium ; Mauritius
on London, 30 days, 1 per cent. From Australia
no political news, trade dull, the prospects of war
having had no influence on markets. Mauritius
business very dull."
"Received 10.45 a.m. July 18, A.S."

The following telegrams have been received at
Mr. Ruter's office :

FLORENCE, JULY 30,

The Sardinian Commissioner, Signor Buoncom•
pagni, left this evening.

Signor Ricaloli, a supporter of the union of
Tuscany with Sardinia, will remain at the head of
the Government of Florence.

THE ITALIAN CONFEDERATION.

The Diritto of Turin states that King Victor
Emmanuel, when subscribing the preliminaries of
peace, added, " except the clauses relating to the
Italian confederation." The Diritto adds that the
Sardinian Ministry is resolved at all hazards to
reject the confederation proposed in the convention
of Villafranca, and that any Minister who should
assent to a league with Austria and the other
princes of Italy would basely betray the country
and deserve capital condemnation.
London, England, 1859-08-01

The defendant said he-was simply defending himself.

Mr. Beadon—You were ordered to be locked up by the
inspector owing to your violent conduct, and the man was
properly doing his duty, and you, unprovoked, assault him.
Holding the position of an officer in her Majesty's service
it is a little too much. Fined £5 or one month.
London, England, 1859-08-01

LEICESTER-JULY 30.

There was a small supply of wheat to-day, with a mode'
rate show of other grain. An advance of ls per qr for wheat
was established. Prices—Wheat, 44s to 50s per 36 stone;
barley, 33s to 38s per 30 stone ; the oat trade was slow,
at quotations ranging from 28s to 36s per 24 stone. Beams
were steady, at 50s to 56s per 38 stone.
Fine flour, 35s I Seconds, 33s I Thirds, 318 per sack.

CAMBRIDGE-JULY 30.

There was a moderate show of wheat, which met a more
active demand, at rather over late rates. White, 465 „I°
48s ; red, 40a to 43s per 36 stone. Spring corn in suatut
supply. Oats were from 24s to 28s per 24 stone.
firm, at 46s to 48s per 38 stone. The crops are still spokelli
of as good, and the rain which fell last week has been of
great service.
London, England, 1859-08-01

RESTORATION OF THE APPARENTLY

DROWNED.

We extract from a Swansea paper the following
singular instance of the resuscitation of a sailor,
apparently dead from drowning :
" At a late hour in the evening of the 28th ult.,
an accident occurred in the Swansea lock, which,
but for the advance lately made in medical science,
must inevitably have proved fatal. A sailor named
George Greenway was returning on board his
vessel, when he was suddenly precipitated into the
water. Before assistance could be obtained he sank.
The bystanders procured a boathook with which,
after a few minutes' delay, they grappled for the
body, and caught hold of the poor fellow's trousers.
Upon bringing him to the surface of the water, the
trousers, unable to sustain the weight of the body,
broke, and the man was again thrown into the
water, and sank to the bottom. A man, named
William Kneath, fastened a rope round his body
and descended to the bottom, and at last succeeded
inbringing the body to the surface of the water,
when they were both brought ashore. These
operations occupied from 15 to 20 minutes. Mr.
James G. Hall and Mr. T. A. Essey, surgeons re-
sorted to Dr. Marshal Hall's ready method for
restoring suspended animation.' After continuing
it for about fifteen to twenty minutes, signs of
vitality. manifested themselves by means of slight
convulsions, and within half an hour the poor fel-
low was so far recovered as to be able to be remove d
to the Cornish Mount, and the attention of the medi-
cal practitioners being here renewed, he was soon
pronounced out of danger. This is the first case,
we believe, in the district of Swansea, where the
new method has been resorted to ; and the man
having been in the water at least twenty minutes,
the result of the operation is certoinly most satis-
factory and striking. On this important method
for restoring the apparently drowned, the Royal
National Life-boat Institution has obtained the
favourable opinions of the principal medical bodies,
and of 300 medical men in this country, as also
those of the chief medical societies on the Con-
tinent. These directions have been extensively
circulated by the institution throughout the
United Kingdom and in the colonies. They are
also in use in her Majesty's fleet."

There was a small supply of wheat yesterday, whiell

THE MASSACRE AT PER UGIA.

We (Galignani) have received the follovvili%
communication :

Villa Capponi, near Florence, July 24:1,0
In the Messenger of the 21st you quote from `—e,
Giornale di Roma, " that the American family
sident in Perugia at the time of its capture
the Swiss have declared that the troops behave
with a moderation that could hardly have v.,se„-a,
expected after the provocation to which they
.110
been exposed. Will you do me the favour s,
contradict that statement ? It is one of mail °Ty
sertions made by that journal which have no foil
dation in fact. The American family have lieu
made any such declaration, but, on the contra%,,
have stated in the most public manner their c(3st
viction that the soldiery behaved with the greatest
brutality, ferocity, and license. The same joulivoi
asserted very coolly that the American family ere
lost some of their effects, which had been or,'West

about to be restored to them. As we lost 11000
everything we had, to an amount of between 2.0 tel
and 3,000 scudi, in the sack and pillage of the }Lira

of material thrown into these pools diminished
the quantity of water constantly required to
freshen the lake, or, in other words, propor-
tionately increased the sanitary power of the
limited supply of fresh water available for the
purpose." Mr. CHADWICK has already remarked
upon this head alone, in his argumentative commu-
nication, published in extenso in another part of our
impression of this evening, " Though the Serpen-
tine is to be considered as a promenade for the
higher classes during the middle of the day, I sub-
mit that, for the early morning and the evening in
the summer time, it is to be regarded as a great and
most important public swimming bath, chiefly for
boys, and in winter time as a great public skating
place. In this point of view alone, as a matter of
common humanity, I personally urged, 10 years
ago, as a Metropolitan Sanitary Commissioner,
that the pools of water in St. James's-park
as well as in the Serpentine should be
filled up to a height that would prevent the
continued sacrifice of life." Mr. FITZROY should
look well to it betimes. It is not even now, we
repeat, too late to set aside this preposterous scheme
of filtration. Let the Chief Commissioner remem-
ber that not only may he have to account for the
sinking of that £17,000 in these filter beds of Mr.
HAWKSLEY, but that he may be held alone, in a
great measure, responsible for the continued sacri-
fice of human life, summer and winter, in the fatal
as well as filthy waters of the Serpentine.
