iceberg.

It was reported at Washington that the mission
to France had been tendered to Mr. Slidell.

The revolution in Chili was ended, after a bloody
battle fought between General Viadauri, with 4,000
Government troops, and 3,000 revolutionists under

padres were arrested, and sent to Vera Cruz. The
Marquez expedition against Morella had been
driven back, but not until the town had been

The Cape Town Mail, of 21st May, says :—AV'e
have no definite news from the borders of Kaffrarisf

THE ILLEGAL SALE OF CON,IISSIONS•

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH—(THIS DAY.) ,
(Sittings after term, before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn
and a Special Jury.)

THE QUEEN V. MARSHALL AND OTHERS.-THE ILLEGAL

SALE OF COMMISSIONS IN THE. ARMY

This was a criminal indictment, at the instance of his
Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, against the
defendants, Thomas Robert Marshall, Edward Henry
Mortimer, and Henry Septimus Eicke, for the alleged sale
of commissions in the army, and the case came originally
before the Central Criminal Court, but, on the application,
of the Crown, was removed by writ of certiorari to this
Court. ,

Sir Fitzroy Kelly and Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., appeared
on behalf of the prosecution ; and Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C.,
Mr. Gordon Allen, and another learned gentleman, for the..
defendants.
Mr. Gordon Allen said that, on behalf of the defendants
Mortimer and Eicke he would withdraw the plea of not
guilty, and plead guilty to the indictment.
Sir F. Kelly then stated the case for the prosecution. He
said that so late as the time of Edward VI., a statute was
passed which made the sale of or traffic in government
offices illegal, and by an Act, 49th George 111., the provi-

sions of that statute were extended to the sale of or traffic in

commissions in the army, and the offence with which the
defendants was charged was specially mentioned. It ap-
peared that in March, 1858, a young gentleman named
Cunningham applied to his Royal Highness the Duke of
Cambridge, which, being unsupported by testimonials, was
refused. However, on the 25th of September last year
this gentleman obtained a commission, but subsequently
a letter was received by his Royal Highness the Duke of
Cambridge, from a person named Pugh, stating that the
commission in question had been procured by the payment
of a sum of £4OO to the defendants, who were trading in the
sale of commissions, under the fictitious title of Armstrong
and Co. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge
directed Sir Charles. Yorke to write to Pugh, and the re-
sult was the institution or these proceedings. The learned
counsel having entered into different details developed in
the evidence, and read the correspondence between Pugh
and Sir Charles Yorke, called the following witnesses:—
Mr. Henry Bristow said that he was a merchant, and re-
sided in Lancashire. He was anxious to obtain a commis-
sion for his brother-in-law, Mr. Cunningham, and in the
May of 1858 had an interview with Mr. Pugh, to whom he
had been recommended as a person likely to accom-
plish his object. (Three letters from Marshall to the wit-
ness were produced: in which the subject of the sale of the
commission was introduced, and a proposition made to the
effect that the witness should lodge £4OO at White and
Company's Bank, in the Haymarket, to be transferred to
the credit of a person subsequently named as soon as Mr.
Cunningham was gazetted. These letters were proved to
be in the handwriting of Marshall by Mr. Pugh.) He saw
Marshall the following June in his shop, and it was
arranged that a person whom he called Armstrong should
call on him at his hotel; and he accordingly received a
visit from this person, who was in reality the defendant
Eicke. It was then agreed that they should make certain
alterations in the form of application addressed to H.R.H.
the Duke of Cambridge for the commission, which was
signed by the witness, and forwarded to his royal highness
at the Horse Guards. Eicke then asked him to give orders
for the transfer of the £4OO which he had lodged at White's
Bank, to the credit of Armstrong and Co., when Mr. Cun-
ningham was gazetted, which he did accordingly. He
left town on the 10th of July last, and in the
same month, and subsequently, he received letters purport-
ing to come from. Armstrong and Co. These letters, which
were proved to be in the handwriting of Eicke and Morti-
mer, were read, and related to the commission, the obtain-
ing of which they promised to expedite as soon as Mr. Cun-
ningham had passed his examination. In September last
his brother-in-law was gazetted, and he transferred the
money to the account of Armstrong and Co.
Cross-examined by Mr. M. Chambers—He had been
advised to apply to an army agent to assist him in getting
the commission for his brother-in-law, but had not applied
to any other agents tham Armstrong and Co. Ho was re-
commended by his tailor, Mr. Edwards, to Mr. Pugh, and
the latter gave him to understand that the parties with
whom he proposed to deal were officers in the army, and
that he would be introduced to them, but he did not men-
tion any names. Mr. Marshall was a general tailor, and
solicited him for the order for the outfit of his brother-in-
law, which ho gave him.
The trial is likely to last several days.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT DOVER.—One .of the
most serious conflagrations which has occurred in Dover
for many years past took place on Saturday afternoon on
the Maison Dieu farm, belonging to and in the occupation
of Mr. C. B. Goreley, and resulted in the total destruction
of the greater portion of the premises, several large stacks
of corn, &c., and a large barn being entirely demolished,
and the dwelling-house partially so. The fire is supposed to
have been caused by a little boy about five years of age
whilst playing with lucifer matches near one of the stacks
of hay.
