London Correspondent by the steamer Asia,

The committee of inquiry on the state OF the army

highness, the Duke of Cambridge, Captain Kel.
lock. OF the Himaiaya, Capt. Shakespeare, MIR. Mac
donald, the Times Commissioner, the Earl of Lu.
can, &c, have this week appeared before the com
mi'tee and given evidence. The Duke of Cambridge
gave plain and simple statements, sufficiently con-
elusive OF disgraceful mismanagement. Captain
kellock related how the gigantic steamer. which he
commanded, and which, at the time, at an enorm-
GUS cost was chartered by the government was
sent to the Bosphorus with little lot of charc oal
smperGtiCely required in the Crimea how he took

because some form was not complied with /; how
he had to take 1t back, although he had offered with
his own men and his own boats to land it,
MIR. Macdonald related the state of the hospitals
and referred TO the many murders committed by
the demon routine. Gen. Bentinck related an an
ecdote OF an important order for articles urgently
required by his men, having been sent back to him
because 1t was signed an inch too lopi Lord Lucan
made clean breast. and exposed the utter igno-
rance, the inexperience and recklessness with
which the horses were destroyed-cavalry horses
worth 1875 each being used for work that horses,
of which plenty could be purchased for $25 each,
were able to do.

ATTEMPT OF GERMAN COUNT TO END HIS LIFE
A young German named Zegenhorn, made a
desperate attempt to put an end to his mortal ex.
istence on Monday night about 10 o'clock, at the
house of Mr.. John Eberhard, No. $50, Lydius
street, New York, by discharging loaded pistol
at his head. 1t appears that he had been boarding
with Mr.. Engle, at No. SO Green street. and that he
had been "smt INIT" Miss Eberhard's beauty
and was very attentive In paying his addresses to
her, which attentions, 1t would appear, were not
appreciated Thus circumstanced he proceeded
to the residence OF Mr.. Eberhard, the young ady's
father, and usual, found that Miss E. was not at
home. While there, 4. suddenly thrust his hands
in his pocket and drew out two single barreled
pistols. Placing the right one against his temple
he discharged it, and staggering fell into the arms
of Mrs. E. The report of the pistol caused the
others to return, when they found L. insensble ard
apparently dying.
He has been in this country about five years
before his going TO New York. he lived In Philadel-
phia, and was a man of steady habits and indus
trious. He was of noble psrentage, and in his
country was Count and an officer of the army.
