A MAN DAVOURBD BY BATS.

Last evening Mr. John Humphreys, the coroner'
held an inquest at the Black Horse public-hour;High-street, Poplar, on view of the remains ,
male person unknown, found in the well of t.,P,
British ship Result, at present lying in the "cc
dock of Green's ship-building yard, BlackWA
under most painful circumstances.
Frederick George Good, a seaman, said that 11!
was employed on board the vessel on Thursday
last, and had to take down the board over the pl-0,1
well. He descended and discovered the skelet°;s
of a human person. There were likewise .portiefir
of a male person's dress, a pair of boots and othoe,
articles. He searched the pockets and found 1"
in silver and three halfpence in copper. It,
George Evans, boatman on board the Res° e,
said that the vessel left Port Philip, Melbourl34
with a general cargo and passengers. There
been no one missing during the voyage. He 00,1.
believed that the deceased must have stowed bleif
self away for five mouths, and had secreted hir"s da
in the pump-well to obtain a free passage to -'
land.
By the Coroner—Believed the deceased had be 0
devoured by the rats; as upwards of 1,000 largo(
animals were in the well-hole. The chief portial
them were dead,
Dr. Bain, of Poplar, said that he was called ere
Friday morning last to see the remains, which 'nee
those of a male person, apparently between the ifeg
of 25 and 30 years, and about five feet nine in
°m
in height. The deceased might have died
starvation, or probably he had been suffocated, 10
then the flesh had been eaten and gnawed II
vermin in the well-hole.
The jury returned an open verdict.

THE FACTORY ACTS.

Lord H. LENNOX asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department, whether it was the intention of the
Government to introduce during the present session any
measure to carry out the recommendations of Mr. Tremen-
heere, contained in his report on " expediency of subjecting
the lace manufacture to the regulations of the Factory
Acts ?"

Sir G. C. LEWIS said it was intended by the Govern
ment to bring in such a bill as that alluded to this session.

EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN.

Viscount RAYNHAM asked the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer whether, in order to extend the useful employment
of women, it would, in his opinion, be advisable t? levy a
tax upon all men employed in linendrapers' and other shops
of that description ? _ _

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
much injustice was inflicted on women by their exclusion
from different employments now entirely occupied by
men, but he did not think it would be desirable to use
taxation for the purpose of regulating the distribution of
labour.

Sir G. C. LEWIS said that the license against Henry
Denham, who was convicted at the Lambeth Police-court,

PAUPER CHILDREN.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE C
F LORDS-YESTERDAY.

WILLS OF.PERSONALTY BY BRITISH SUB-

JECTS BILL.

Lor 1 KINGSDOWN moved the second reading of this
bill.

Lord WENSLEYDALE expressed his decided opposi-
tion to the bill, but, from the low tone of voice in which
his lordship spoke, it was impossible to ascertain the
grounds upon which he rested his opposition to the measure.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said-that the question was
one by no means free from difficulty, and he was not con-
tent to support the bill of his noble and learned friend in
all its details. It would be most discourteous, however, to
propose to reject it on its second reading, and the house
should consider that no one was more competent to deal
with sucks measure than his noble and learned friend, to
whom the country was already under deep obligations for
the attention he had bestowed on that and other kindred
subjects. (Hear, hear.) His noble and learned friend had
pointed out some great evils which aroso out of the existing
law, and for these he had proposed remedies. Of the evils
there could be no doubt. When he was Chief Justice he
was held to be domiciled in England, because he had Eng-
lish duties to perform by virtue of that office. Now that
ho was Lord Chancellor of Great Britain, however, nobody
could tell whether he was domiciled on one side of the
Tweed or the other. He was bound to say that he was not
sanguine as to the result of the measure now submitted to
their lordships. (Hear, hear.)
Lord CRANWORTH said the maxim of law was that of
common sense and policy—mob/1k sequentur personam.
Where you were domiciled your property was disposed of
according to the law of the place—but no country would
have a law so strict that the owner might not point out the
direction in which his property should go. At ;present an
Englishman dying abroad would dispose of his property
according to the law of England. There was great appre-
hension lest in stopping up one hole we might be opening
others—but as a great practical evil had to bo dealt with,
it was desirable that some remedy should be found. Ac-
cording to the first clause of this bill, an inhabitant living
in any of our colonies might make a will according to the
law of Scotland or England, and it would 12e valid. He
would give no opposition to the second reading.
Lord KINGSDO WN having briefly replied,
Lord WENSLEYDALE withdrew his amendment, and
the bill was read a second time.

CO,!,T OF THE CHINES 41 WAR.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—When the total cost of the China war is
known it will astonish some of the members Who
take little notice of Chinese affairs. The votes
already granted to defray the expenses may help
to cover the cost of coals, transports, and extra
expenditure ; but the pay of the army, navy, and
diplomatic staff will also form a serious addition ;
so that, when the whole truth is known, some 10
or 12 millions will have been expended. There is
still a large naval force in China, and about 10,000
British troops remain there " to secure the stipula-
tions of the treaty," at an expense far exceeding
the indemnity to be received.
In the House of Commons a mist appears to arise
whenever any matter relating to China is dis
cussed; the most opposite statements are made, and
no one discovers the contradictions. Take, for in-
stance, the following :—Mr. Gladstone in his budget
takes credit for £750,000 for China indemnity
money to be received up to March, 1862. Lord
John Russell has stated that the claims of the Bri-
tish merchants in Canton amount to £450,000, or
rather more ; Lord Elgin's claim for their indem-
nity amounted to £666,000 (or two millions of taels),
and that amount probably includes interest. Surely
Mr. Gladstone does not intend to appropriate this
money of the Canton merchants in order to make
up a balance in his favour for this year ; without
calculating upon it his budget would show a de-
ficiency instead of a surplus ; and the question
is, will Mr. Bruce have arranged to pay the in-
demnity for Canton losses this year ? If he has so
arranged—and Lord John Russell has declared
that the matter rests with Mr. Bruce—then Mr.
Gladstone has no surplus. The Chinese had to pay
500,000 taels at Tien-tsin, and about 200,000 at
Canton, in fact a little over £200,000, and that
covered the whole actual cash payment towards
the indemnity, and it has all been paid. The rest
is to be deducted quarterly from the revenue de-
rived by the Chinese from foreign duties to the
extent of one-fifth of the gross amount. This
fifth may be estimated at something over
£450,000 per annum, so that Mr. Gladstone takes
a very full estimate when he counts upon £750,000
It must be borne in mind that even taking into
account this amount of credit, there is all the cost
of the force in China, which properly should be
charged against it, for it is kept there partly to
secure the indemnity, but its expense is lost sight
of in the general total of navy and army estimates.
There will, in reality, be no indemnity derived
from China for the benefit of the British Govern-
ment and relief of the British taxpayer ; and the
amount which Mr. Gladstone takes credit for this
year is, in reality, nearly all due to the British mer.
chants who were burnt out of Canton.

The article in The Sun of Saturday has drawn
attention to this subject, and must serve as my ex
cuse for offering this statement to clear away the
mist.—Your obedient servant,
April 22, 1861. • J. S., late of China.

MARRIAGE LAW AMENDMENT ACT.

la reply to Mr. M. MILNES,

The SPEAKER said that the house on Wednesday last
declined to read this bill a 2d time, and passed a resolution
to the effect that an alteration in the existing law relative
to marriage, by which there would be a different law in
different parts of the kingdom, would be most inconvenient.
It was competent to the hon. member to ask the house to
name another day for the second reading of the bill. How-
ever, he thought that the most proper way of dealing would
be to withdraw the bill and introduce another framed in
conformity with the expressed opinion of the house.

A MAN 1) AVOURED BY BATS.

Last evening Mr. John Humphreys, the coroner,
held an inquest at the Black Horse public-house,
High-street, Poplar, on view of the remains of a
male person unknown, found in the well of the
British ship Result, at present lying in the dry
dock of Green's ship-building yard, Blackwall,
under most painful circumstances.
Frederick George Good, a seaman, said that he
was employed on board the vessel on Thursday
last, and had to take down the board over the pump
well. He descended and discovered the skeleton
of a human person. There were likewise portions
of a male person's dress, a pair of boots and other
articles. He searched the pockets and found 12s.
in silver and three halfpence in copper.
George Evans, boatman on board the Result,
said that the vessel left Port Philip, Melbourne,
with a general cargo and passengers. There had
been no one missing during the voyage. He fully
believed that the deceased must have stowed him-
self away for five months, and had secreted himself
in the pump-well to obtain a free passage to Eng-

By the Coroner—Believed the deceased had been
devoured by the rats, as upwards of 1,000 large
animals were in the well-hole. The chief portion of
them were dead,

Dr. Bain, of Poplar, said that he was called on
Friday morning last to see the remains, which were
those of a male person, apparently between the age
of 25 and 30 years, and about five feet nine inches
in. height. The deceased might have died from
starvation, or probably he bad been suffocated, and
then the flesh had been eaten and gnawed by the
vermin in the well-hole.
The jury returned an open verdict.

pletnentary orders having arrived fur the European
consumption. Quotations have shown r= rising ten-

descriptions the decline has et least been stopped.
Although relations with America will naturally remain
limited for some time to come, it is expected that transac-
tions in silk will be kept up on a normal scale and that
prices will be maintained until some po,itive estimate may
be formed with regard to the coming crop. Certain recent
experiments made in widens parts Of Italy and Fiance,
although varying in results, tend to prove the disease to be

INDIAN ARMY.

Mr. BENTINCK asked the Secretary of Slate for India
whether he had any objection to lay before the house copies
of the orders or communications sent or made by him to the
Governor-General for carrying out the amalgamation of
the Royal and local armies, and for giving effect to her
Majesty's warrant for the formation of a staff corps for
India, dated Jan. 16, 1861, together with copies of all dis-
sents and opinions recorded on that measure by members of
the Council of India in Jan. 1861 ?

Sir C. WOOD said he did not consider it would be con-
venient to produce the documents in-question.

THE SLAVE TRADE.

Mr. W. E. FORSTER asked the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs whether the conference of the Ambassadors
and Ministers of the Courts of rrance, the United
States, Spain, Portugal, and Brazil, which in his circular
despatch to her Majesty's Ministers at these Courts, dated
Feb. 11, 1860, he proposed should be held in London in the
months of May or June of that year, to consider what mea-
sures could be taken to check the increase of the slave
trade, and finally provide for its total abolition, was held,
and if not held in consequence of the refusal to attend such
conference by any of the above mentioned Powers, whether
he had any objection to state which Powers so refused, and
on what reasons they based their refusal ?
Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to say that the
United States would not consent to the proposition made
to the Government of that country on the subject.

REVIEWS Ole THE WORK.
"Curtis on Manhood.—This is a truly valuable work, and
should be in the hands of young and old.' —" Sunday Times,"
23d March, 1856.

"The author has conferred a great boon by publishing this
little work, in which is described the source of those diseases
which produce decline in youth or more frequently premature
old age."—" Daily Telegraph," March 27, 1856.
This work, which for twenty years has stood the test of
professional criticism and empirical hostility, treats in aplain
and sympathising manner on the various disqualifications
and impediments arising from nervous excitement and de-
bility ; and to invalids suffering from youthful errors and
excesses it will be found valuable and useful."—Record.

AUSTRIA.

A communication from Vienna of the sth, in the
Journal de Frankfort, says :
" Before the temporary breaking up of the
Chamber of Deputies, the Ministers gave an as-
surance that nothing decisive as regards Hungary
would be done during their absence. The Tcheque
deputies hastened to proceed to Prague to endea-
vour to calm the popular excitement in that quar-
ter. The news of the demonstrations against the
Jews, which are generally regarded in Bohemia
as the precursors of attacks against property, pro-
duced a very strong impression on these deputies.
The Government is decided on repressing any
agitation with energy, and particularly on vigour-
ously opposing the religious tendency of the
movement."

The last accounts direct from Prague state that
no further disturbances have taken place. Calm
and reflection were said to have gained strength in
the minas of the population, and that there is no
longer any reason to fear fresh excesses.

RAILWAY _INTELLIGENCE.

NORTH DEVON.

The report of the directors states that the gross
receipts of the traffic for the past half-year amount
to £12,335, as compared with £11,910 for the cor-
responding half of last year. The net revenue, after
the payment of interest on debentures, amounts to
£2,456. The dividend on the preference stock will
absorb £1,155, leaving £1,301 available for a divi-
dend on the ordinary stock. The directors recom-
mend a dividend at the rate of 17s. 6d. per cent. on
the original stock,which will leave a balance of £l7.
The increase in the value of money has rendered
the renewal of the debentures a matter of some
difficulty, and the directors have generally been
compelled to increase the rate. They have made a
conditional agreement with Mr. Brassey for work-
ing the line for another year, upon the same terms
and conditions as the present lease. The capital
account to the 30th of June shows that £497,639
has been received, and £496,801 expended, leav-
ing a balance of £B3B. The revenue account
states that £6,023 had been received, and £387
expended, leaving a balance of £5,637.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.

" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.

" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.
" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Plckford ;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

their artillery also, and there was a good deal of

pounding at long ranges with light field guns, and
some heavier rifled ordnance, the line on both
sides being rarely within 500 yards of each other,"

We believe Mr. RUSSELL'S statements—we
believe them not only on account of his undoubted
veracity, but from the necessity he must feel himself
under to publish to all Europe only what could be
verified when he thus pledges his character for it,
and from the general aspect of the exaggerated ac-
counts which the American papers manufactured,
or taken from the lips of fugitives who gave utter-
ance to their terrified imaginations, have not to their
knowledge. It was, in fact, along balls fight through- '
out. Now the Federalists received a volley of
musketry from those who took good care they
should not first come too near—they fall back ; they
advance again and deliver a volley, and now the Con-
federates fall back ; and so forth throughout the day;
reminding one of the curious cavalry fighting de-
scribed by XENOPHON in which the combatants
rode up to each other almost within bow-shot,
and there sat all day on their horses
contented with archery practice which did
not empty a single saddle. The Germans,
Scotch, and Irish are unanimously reported to have
done their part most bravely of all. Indeed, Yan-
keeism seems to have regarded it as a cool business
affair entirely; so much so, that the three months'
term of service of one regiment having expired
that day, it was quite content to leave its artillery
to be taken by the enemy, and to march straight off
home.

We do not wonder, however, that the better class
of Americans feel a little for their national reputa-
tion. What will England and France think of
it 9,, is the question asked, we are told, again and
again. Well it may be! What can we think of it ?
We can only modestly say, that it is not our way of
doing things. We did not adopt that style of fight-
ing at the Alma and at Inkerman, nor the French
and Sardinians at Magenta and Solferino ; nor
GARIBALDI anywhere. Fort Sumter fighting,
Bull's Run fighting, will become standard expres-
sions for that kind of fighting which consists in
caring for a whole skin more than for a victory. We
are bound, however, to confess that there seems to
be a family likeness between the combatants ;
the South as well as the North showed a due respect
for bullets and cannon-balls, though the general-
ship of the South was the better. Moreover, so
prudent was the South, that it did not know when
it had beaten—very natural, when we remember the
distance at which it fought the beaten foe. Indeed
it seems clear, even from Mr. RUSSELL'S nar-
rative, that had it made a prompt forward move,
and used the cavalry it is reputed to have, as it
ought, it might have taken a large portion of the
Northerners prisoners, and even have presented its
regiments in front of Washington. As it is its
advanced pickets are within six miles of Alexandria,
ten of Washington itself.

some places the collectors are made use of to ascer-
tain the political opinions of the inhabitants. Dis-
turbances have broken out at Szerenes. Those who
choose to pay into the comitat treasury are threat-

HUNGARY.

A letter from Pesth, of August 4, says :—" I
have just learnt that the person named Turitz, who,
as I informed you, was arrested in consequence of
the resemblance of his name to that of General
Turr, was shot yesterday in the fortress of Komorn.
It is not known of what crime he was found guilty,
but people are indignant at the way in which he
has been condemned and executed in three days,
and without any publication of the judgment. The
comitat of Oran has sent an address to the Emperor

to complain of the forced collection of the taxes,
and of the excesses committed by the soldiers. In
some places the collectors are made use of to ascer-
tain the political opinions of the inhabitants. Dis-
turbances have broken out at Szerenes. Those who
choose to pay into the comitat treasury are threat-
