BRODERIP—Then it is my duty to remand the prisoner on this charge of wilful, murder till to-morrow. Mr. Humphries asked the magistrate to name the time. Mr. BRODERIP said, the charge of alleged piracy against the seamen belonging to the Tory was remanded till Wednesday, end the hour fixed upon was twelve o'clock, at which time Mr. Clarkson was likely to be present, but he could not promise the case should be taken at twelve. It depended entirely on the number and duration of the night charges. The prisoner was then removed from the dock. We understand that no further evidence will be adduced against the seamen charged with mutiny, who stand remanded till this day, in which case they will be forthwith liberated, and sworn as witnesses on the part of the Crown, to sustain various charges of murder against Capt. Johnstone. Mr. BRODERIP said he.had received a letter from the father of William Beresford, one of the prisoners, whom he remanded last Wednesday on a charge of piracy on board the Tory. The father of the prisoner did not know where his son was confined, and had inclosed the letter for his son in another directed to him (the Magistrate), with a request that it should be forwarded to him. He handed the letter to the sergeant of the police van, and ordered him to deliver the letter to Beresford, in the Westminster Bridewell, to which place Captain Johnstone was remanded. It was erroneously stated in a morning paper of Thursday last, that the lad Barry Yelverton, one of the prisoners charged with mutiny on board the Tory, was " the grandson of the celebrated Lord Avonmore." A gentleman came to the Thames Police-court on Tuesday, and stated that the youth was not related to the Avonmore family. He is a Lancashire lad, and never pretended to claim kindred either with the present or the first Lord Avonmore. Nothing whatever was stated during the examination on Wednesday to justify such a statement.  An important communication, under the signature of Mr L. Suliven, the Deputy-Secretary at War, addressed to the commanding officer of every regiment in the army, is now in course of issue. It proceeds—" With reference to article 8 of the warrant of the 11th of October, 1843, establishing regimental savings' banks, by which it is required that a soldier convicted by court-martial of desertion, or recorded by a board of officers in the usual manner as a deserter, shall forfeit to the public all moneys he may have in the regimental savings bank, I am directed to acquaint you that in all cases of soldiers deserting from the regiment under your command, and not returning within three months, or who may be convicted of desertion within that period, the deposits of such soldiers in the regimental savings' bank are to be withdrawn by the captain of the troop or company to which each man belongs, and placed in the hands of the paymaster for the purpose of being inserted in the next pay-list, tendered byhim to the Waroffice, not as a credit in the man's non-effective account as part of his effects, but as a specific and distinct credit to the public in the general state under class Q. All sums in the regimental savings' bank belonging to the deceased noncommissioned officers and soldiers are in like manner to be withdrawn ; but the amount is to be credited in their noneffective accounts as part of their effects. The account of every man, whether dying or deserting, which is transmitted with the regimental pay-list, is to 'be accompanied by a certificate, showing whether he had or had not any moneys in the regimental savings' bank, and if he had, the particular account in which the amount had been credited as above directed. With regard, to the deposits of discharged men, as the means are now afforded of transferring the amount of their savings direct from the regimental to a Government savings' bank, although exceeding 301., I am to request that you will point out to all men about to be discharged,, whose savings exceed .that sum, the necessity of their deciding before they quit the regiment whether they wish this course to be adopted or not, is order that the necessary steps may be taken at the regiment for effecting the transfer. by Ailing up the proscribed certificates. In the event of their quitting, the. regiment, leaving their money in the regimental savings' bank, as provided for in article 6 of the warrant, they cannot afterwards be allowed to avail themselves of the advantage offered of direct transfer to the Government savings' bank when the deposits exceeds 30/."
