A MYSTERY CLEARED UP.

MALTON, THURSDAY AFTERNOON.—The most
intense excitement was awakened at Malton this
morning, by a report of the finding of the body of
Mr. Jennings in the river Derwent. The report
was at first regarded with discredit ; it was, how-
ever, correct. It appears that Joseph Bowman, a
shepherd in the employment of Mr. John Beilby,
of Espersykes-house, about three miles from Malton
(up the river) was following his avocation yester-
day morning, and when on the banks of the river
saw the body of a man laid across the root of a
tree on the opposite bank. Bowman procured
some cord, which he weighted, and succeeded in
drawing the body to the Espersykes side of
the water. Although nearly six months have
elapsed since the disappearance of Mr. Jennings,
the features of the corpse were easily recognised.
Mr. Beilby communicated with the police at Mal-
ton, when they, together with the solicitor of the
deceased and two surgeons, at once went to the
place where the body was found. The body was
got out of the water and laid upon the bank, when
it was found to be greatly advanced in decomposi-
tion; the clothes also being much torn and covered
with mud. This latter circumstance indicates that
the body has been a long period on the bed of the
river; but there was no appearance of any weight
having been attached to cause it to remain under water
for so long a time. A stretcher was procured, on which
the body was placed, the exhalations having by this
time become very offensive, and the body itself very
black in colour. Messrs., W. and W. T. Colby, sur-
geons, assisted by Superintendent Ord, of the police
force, proceeded to divest deceased of his remaining
clothing, in the pockets of which were found the
papers and rate-books belonging to the parish of
Burythorpe, but no coins whatever. The body, so
far as the medical men could discern, exhibited no
sign of violence; but there were bruises on one
side, which seem to have been caused by the root of
the tree against which the body was found. De-
ceased was carried by relays of men along the
bank of the river to Old Malton, where it awaits a
coroner's inquest. A vast crowd had assembLd to
meet it. The man Bowman, of course, claims the
reward of £5O offered for the recovery of the body ;
the remaining £5O offered by Government being
limited to the proof of the murder. :How deceased
really got in the water, especially so many miles up
the stream, is of course a mystery. ,

THE ARMSTRONG GUN AND THE WAR

The Debats publishes an article of several
columns on the subject of the Armstrong
cannon, explaining its peculiar advantages,
and the effect which the introduction
of such tremendous weapons of destruction is likely
to produce in actual warfare. Referring to the
present hostilities, and the employment of rifled
cannon in Italy our contemporary makes the fol-
lowing observations :—" The Austrian army, after
having made against Piedmont an offensive move-
ment, the reason of which is still difficult to com-
prehend, now appears to be preparing to execute
what has been called the plan of General Hess—
that is to say to retire before the allied forces—
and to wait—either before or after a grand battle
—in the strong positions which art and nature
have prepared for it on the line of the
Mincio. The persons who have studied
this subject are aware that the strength
of those positions principally depends on four large
fortresses—Brescia, Peschiera, Verona, and Mantua,
which in fact, in 1848, saved the army of Marshal
Radetski. But what was true in 1848 may not be
so at the present time, and it would probably be a
great mistake to consider those four fortified places
as so many Sebastopols, likely to withstand for
several months all our efforts against them. We
had no rifled cannon before Sebastopol, and conse-
quently were compelled in the attack on that place
to follow the old traditions of the artillery and.
engineers. Rifled canon do not, •certainly, autho-
rize us to imagine that these fortresses will fall be-
fore them like the walls of Jericho before the
trumpets of the Israelites; but their long
range allows us to think that, in order to
render those places untenable by the enemy,
they afford us means on which we could not have
calculated six months ago. Let us admit that our
guns will not carry -to the distance of eight kilo-
metres (five English miles), indicated by Sir W.
Armstrong, and that their projectiles will not reach
further than six kilometres, that is certatnly a very
modest pretension, and is, we think, what will
happen when we shall be on the line of the Mincio,
and before Verona and Mantua. Instead of wasting
time in making regular approaches, nothing will be
more easy ' than to find, within a range of from
4,000 to 4,500 metres from the place, a number
_of
positions either in woods or clumps of trees, or
farm-houses, or garden walls behind which a certain
number of rifled cannon might be placed, in-
visible, and sheltered from the enemy's fire,
and from which the shells, directed, not
against the ramparts, but against the interior of the
place, would soon render it untenable. Ten bat-
teries of artillery, firing 20 shots an hour, would
throw into the place during a night of only eight
hours 9,600 incendiary projectiles which would
cause frightful losses. It would be for the besieg-
ing force, master of the field, a question of supply.
and nothing more ; for even were the enemy m
pos-
session of guns of long range, what advantageous
uagseainesotuladn they make during the
powernighttheof
invisiblea of themrtilleryhaving the
frequently changing position, and in small groups
almost impossible to be discovered during the day
at a distance of more than a league ? It was nearly
this method which succeeded so well at Sweaborg,
where the allies, however, had no rifled cannon, and
where 20 steam gunboats destroyed with their
shells one of the largest naval arsenals of Russia
without themselves being touched by one of the
thousands of shot which were fired at them from the
enemy's batteries. The mobility of the gunboat took
the place of the advantage now given by the long
range. The new artillery has rendered this system
practicable, and it has ratified the new axiom of the
art of war, that henceforth fortified places, like
towns on the sea coast, can no longer beysefully pro-
tected except by armies masters of the country, or
by fleets in the'offing. We have remarked that in
an Austrian bulletin of the combat of Montebello,
the writer, after having rendered justice to the ex-
cellence of the French infantry, declares our artil-
lery to be inferior. We regard this declaration
more as a ruse de guerre than as a truth : We
imagine that the object of it was to tranquilize thee
Austrian army, unprovided as it is with long-ra g
Iders of the
of which has doubtless reached tho sol
guns, as to the effect of the new guns, the. renown
Emperor Francis Joseph, and we leave it to
our
artillerymen to prove to the enemy that the re-
nown either of their courage or of the 'power of
their weapons has not been g exagerated."

SUICIDE AT THE LIVERPOOL WORKHOUSE.—
Margaret Williams, an inmate of the Liverpool workhouse,
destroyed her life on Thursday by precipitating herself
from a window four stories high. Since her admission (on
the 23d April) she has been in low spirits, chiefly on ac-
count of the condition of her husband, who is at present a
prisoner in Kirkdale gaol, charged with an assault uponhis
female child,. eight years of age.
THE POLICE OF LlVERPOOL.—Yesterday (Fri-
day) abort 400 of the Liverpool police underwent a preli-
minary drill by Major Grei, the head constable, previous
to their general inspection 'Tiy Colonel Woodford. The re-
mainder are to be drilled to-day (Saturday). Several mem-
bers of the watch committee, as well as some military men,
were present, and the evolutions were unanimously praised.
It was remarked that if the police were armed with rifles
they would form about the most effective rifle corps the
town could possess.
A WEALTHY PAUPER.—A woman named Janet
Brown, who for a considerable time had been receiving
parochial relief, died about a fortnight ago at St. Ninians.
On searching her house a pass-book was found in which
there was credit to the extent of £lOO. On a further search
there were found bank receipts to the extent ofr£lBo and
£l6 lodged in a bank in town—in all £296. The proper
authorities have, of course, taken cognisance of the matter.

LORD ELLENBO_ROUGH ON THE WAR

IN ITALY.

Two public meetings were held in Cheltenham
on Thursday for the purpose of forming a Rifle
Corps—one in the afternoon and the other in the
evening at 8 o'clock. The evening meeting was
called in favour of those tradesmen, shop assistants,
and others who could not be present in- the middle
of the day. The Earl of Ellenborough presided,
and, the meeting being large, the proceedings were
of an enthusiastic and satisfactory character.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH, who was loudly
cheered, expressed his gratification at being able to
comply with the request made to him to preside
that evening, and at the same time he was pleased
to observe so large an attendance. If there were
tradesmen present, and he supposed there were,
they, of all others, in his opinion were especially
interested in preventing an enemy landing on these
shores, as being likely to suffer most from such an
occurrence. All monetary transactions of the coun-
try would be altogether impaired and injured from
the very instant it was known an enemy had landed.
What would be the effect of that panic occasioned
by the approach of an enemy to London, and what
could be the mode of conducting monetary transac-
tions with the means of communication interfered
with ? And what wrist we do ? It was not enough
to feel satisfied that if the enemy landed we should
be able to repel him—we must be so strong as to
deter him from attempting invasion. (Cheers.) They
might depend upon it that the mere act of invasion,
if the enemy were but a week in the country, and if it
terminated by his expulsion or the destruction of all
his forces, that single week of invasion would pro-
duce an injury to the material interests of this coun-
try which a hundred years would hardly recover.
(Hear, hear.) He dared say there were a good many
among them who thought it possible to avoid all
these misfortunes by preserving a strict neutrality.
There could be no one more desirous than himself
that we should not be involved in war. (Hear,
hear.) But he would tell them this, that neutrality,
although it put off war, did not prevent it.
(Hear.) On the contrary, it might ultimately bring
upon us a war infinitely more dangerous than that
in which we refused to engage before. While two
great nations were contending against each other,
if we engaged in a war, at least we should have
one of these nations with us • if we waited till one
of these nations was trampled upon and beaten by
the other, and was deprived of strength to contend
in the field, and then we were disposed to contend
against the conqueror, we should contend alone
against a Power which had matured its forces,
against a force disciplined in the field, and therefore
to our disadvantage. However desirable we might
think it to maintain neutrality, neutrality alone
could give us no security, and might render war ,
more dangerous; and was it this we should de-
clare absolutely to be our policy ? If Fran ce
should understand and be convinced, under
any circumstances, that England would not in-.
terfere, her conduct would assuredly. be Teri
different from what it otherwise might be;
but, in point of fact, we might be practically
creating a state of things by declaring Our
persistence in neutrality which might compelear, us
to violate it, and engage in war besides. (H
hear.) He knew not that it was necessary for him, -
if he were to speak at all, to say anything of the
nature and character of the present war. But
there was one point connected with it about which
he hoped they were under no delusion. He trusted
•
they did not suppose it was really a war forcould the
independence of Italy. (Cheers.) If he
think it were so, no one would rejoice in its success
more than he should. (Renewed cheers.) He had.
been earnestly desirous of seeing a great and really
independent State in Italy from the earliest period
of his life. (Hear, hear.) He was looking back
the other day, and he saw that as much as forty-
three years ago he expressed himself to that effect,
when he was a member of the House of Commons,
and it had been the desire of his whole public life.
(Cheers.) No event would more strongly conduce
to the security of Austria herself than the creation
of a great and independent Power in Italy.
(Hear, hear.) He had not the smallest hope
of any such result from any interference on
the part of France. The object of France was to
transfer to herself that supremacy in Italy which
'had been possessed by Austria since 1814. (Hear.)
Austria had held it for defensive purposes; France
would hold it for the purpcses of offence, and in her
hands it would be an important step towards mak-
ing the Mediterranean a French lake. (Cheers.)
They were told, and the French were told, that
this war in !Italy was in obedience to the tradi-
tional policy of France. Now, about three centu-
ries and a half ago, Italy was really independent,
• and was then divided into a number of different
states. There was one kingdom, several principa-
lities, duchies, and republics. Every one of these
different States was governed by a native, to the
exclusion of the foreigner. (Hear.) The country
was represented as having been thoroughly other
vated. and as distinguished more than any
country in the arts, sciences, literature, and in
everything that elevated the character of man.
(Hear, and cheers.) What happened then ? Why,
in came a French king ; he overturned all indepen-
dence, and from that time to the present there had
been no instance in which French sovereigns, of
whatever race, had not, whenever they had the op-
' pI

he oa ft
was the traolitional policy of France, and that the
species of inaependence which she would in reality,
give to Italy. (Hear.) He durst say they had
heard a great deal against the Government of
Austria. He was not going to defend the civil go-
vernment of Austria. (Hear.) He believed that in
some of the States it was good government suited
to the people, who were contented, and absolutely
devoted to their Government. In foreign countries
it was of a different character. But we must not
undertake the reform of the civil government of
. any nation. (Hear.) If we were to do so he thought
; we might begin with material advantage at no dig-
, tance so great from our own shores. (Hear.)
' However, they did not enter into that. We
; only looked at Austria as a great military
• Power, to which, 'in its strength, was
• mainly entrusted the independence of Cen-
tral Europe. And it was altogether necessary to
our interests, and the interests of every. State in
• Central Europe, that Austria should maintain un-
impaired the military power she possessed. (Hear,
hear.) If they looked back to past times, and the
wars of the French Revolution, they would see
with what gallantry Austria came forward, and
what advantages we derived from her actions. In
1805 Austria, at her own great risk, rushed forward
and prevented the invasion Of this country. (Cheers.)
In 1809 she again moved forward, she again suffered
great defeats, but she facilitated by her movements
the advance of the Duke of Wellington on Madrid,
and laid the foundation of the liberation of Spain.

lection of past times in dealing with the present.
He would now go into another point of great im-
portance, and well worthy the attention of the
public; he meant the understanding which evi-
dently existed between Russia and France—(hear,
hear)—an understanding existing between two
great despotic military Powers with reference to
what their conduct shall be in supporting the
independence and freedom of Italy. There was
reason, he believed, to suspect the purity of the mo-
tives of both parties—(hear)—but this they might
observe, while Russia, by bringing 150,000 men on
the frontiers of Poland, practically paralyzed Ger-
many, we, likewise, in the movements of our fleet,
were already, if not paralyzed yet greatly checked
and controlled by the presence of a Russian fleet of
30 sail of the line, which had been largely increased •

not venture to send the whole of our force to the

accepted that explanation. If the Government was
not afraid of an understanding between Russia and
France, it the more behoved .the people of this
country to be afraid, and to take their own course
for their deliverance. (Loud cheering.) After
some few observations on the practical business
before the meeting, his Lordship concluded by re-
marking that there had not been in this country
since the time of King John the foot of one single
armed foreigner. (Cheers.) All other nations had
suffered the ruin, the spoliation, and the disgrace
which attended successful invasion. We were the
only military State in Europe which had not in the
course of the last 50 years seen an invading enemy
in its capital. (Cheers.) They could have no idea
of the extent of the horrors of foreign invasion, and
whatever it might be in other countries, here they
would be worse, since the enemy would cone With
the accumulated hatred and revenge of six on- •
tusks. He heartily hoped the public spirit of the
people of this country would raise a force which
would protect us from such a visitation.
His Lordship resumed his seat am id loud

ing, and a vote of thanks was given to hi y
acclamation.

.CONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocx,

The Bank of England return, completed to the
Ist June, is of a satisfactory character. Owing to
the extensive arrivals from the United States and
other places the stock of bullion has been further
increased, although an important efflux has been
kept up to the Continent. In the other securities
there is a small decrease, consequent upon the easy
state of the money market and the low rate of dis-
count in the general market. The public deposits,
owing to the active collection of the revenue, show
a large augmentation, but this is usually the case
just previous to the payment of the half-yearly
dividends. The private deposits and active circu-
lation both exhibit a small diminution. The other
items of the balance-sheet show little change of
importance; they will be seen in the subjoined
table :

There is still a very moderate demand for money
in Lombard-street and at the Bank, notwithstanding
the mercantile engagements due to-day, the 4th of

discount business has been transacted. The market,
nevertheless, retains a quiet and easy appearance,
and no alteration has occurred in the rates charged

The second series of public sales of Foreign and

affairs at the commencement of the sales, with the

advance in the rate of discount, had a prejudicial
effect upon prices, and notwithstanding a good
attendance of both home and foreign buyers, prices
opened at a decline of 3d. per lb. on Port Philip,
and 2d. to 21d. on Sydney qualities, compared with
the rates current at the close of the last series in
March. During their progress there was little
alteration to record in values, with the exception
of low qualities of Sydney, which experienced a
further slight decline. Cape, Van Dieman's Land,
and Swan River wool sold readily at full market
values.

The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon pre-
sented no alteration of importance.
About £4,000 in Turkish gold was taken into the
Bank of England yesterday.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
steadily, and prices were fully supported. The
sales were estimated at 8,000 bales.
Since Monday last the imports of specie have
been about £893,125, and the exports £326,525,

A limited business has been transacted to-day in
the market for public securities, which are now
rather depressed. Consols opened at about 93 to
