bility of the disasters in the East- There is a degree * of moral force in the retribution which has thus come on that home-keeping martinet . The avowed principle of the report is that all these officers had made the " necessary- requisition , aad if they did not get T « hat ti «^ asked ^ Mfcthe fault lay with somehodyefce .

in the field that he had paved neces »» y parade orders to hi ? men- SSfoce Colonel , « teeloch broke down ipnder Hjfr bullying , SHr-John M'KEizi * declined to attend , and only half the case was before the judicial board of General Officers , they of course found it the more easy to deliver this one-sided judgment ; just like tfre Irish judge , who said that he never found any difficulty in deciding a case till he heard the other aide ; .
Some inquiry continues to be made respecting the two great frauds that have engaged attention for so many months . On Thursday night Mr . Hokbbck moved to * expel J ~ am . es Sadleik , the accomplice of John in the vast frauds of the Tipperary Bank ; and in the Bankruptcy Court , on the same day ,- there was a further instalment of Joseph Wini > le Cole ' s disclosures , tending to elucidate that extensive branch of commerce . There is a good deal of sympathy for Joseph , who was once so wealthy and . is now so candid ; but the stern House of Commons extracts from Lord
Paxmersroifa promise that James Sadleib , Esq ., shall not be appointed Steward to Her Majesty ' s Manor of the Chfltern Hundreds , so as to evade any formalities designed for him by Mr . Roebtjck . on taking . leave of the House . The smaller and more ferocious criminal , Dove , has been treated by jury and judge provisionally . As to the fact , there was no doubt—he poisoned his wife ; the difficulty was , to determine whether he was actually insane , or only a very low type of the brute and fool . The jury pronounced him guilty ,
tttrtr recommended him to mercy on the score of deficient intellect ; which is as much as to say tfiat he was sane , but may have been insane . The jttdge following up this indecisive decision , sentenced him to be hanged , and enjoined him not to entertain hopes ** which may be delusive "—and of course may not be delusive . The proper mode of fnlfilKng this sentence would be to provide for the hanging , and to let him escape ; instead of prrnnpling with him as madman ^ nd brute that he is , and subjecting hliii to the discipline that might tame ^ tjtfe ~ animal , call his condition what you will . " xtb the criminal classes are getting on better
m high quarters . One of the greatest scoundrels that the world has ever seen is now the successful MiBister of Spain . O'Donnem ., a soldier of fortatae > wbx * i » ade his riches as the accomplice ofun-Utwful slft ^ e-trading in Cuba , —who lent himself to JJ si » abtb » o '» liberal ministry for the purpose of pteyiug ouckoo in that nest , —has now turned out hte chief , and has accomplished a real rebellion in fg £ ai » , n&ae the lea * lawless or criminal since he llftfr seduced the Cfcueen into aiding it .

First «* used himself to JHai struck on amedal in the likeness of Jove dictating to the earth with the thunderbolt in his right hand : the new Napoleon takes his attributes from the Christian aara , and presenis himself to his admiring subjects as a special agent of Divine Providence , regulating the elements of nature , and subduing them to the
service of man . Mr . Mkchi ' s annual gathering at Tiptree Hail has been the leading agricultural event of the week . It is a singular fact , and strikingly illustrative of the working of our free institutions , that a London tradesman , who has made a fortune by retailing razor-strops , finds himself influential enough to attract every year to a remote village in the heart of Essex assemblages of several hundred persons , many of them eminent in political and diplomatic life , luminaries in the learned professions , or leaders in the great social and sanitarv movements of the day . Nor is it less
remarkable , as indicating the practical sagacity of our national character , that the individual who has acquired this influence , so far from being distinguished by any uncommon attainments , has not himself contributed a single invention , great or small , to agricultural and sanitary progress , but owes his success solely to the persevering energy and enterprize with which he has embraced and executed the valuable discoveries of others , so as to turn to practical account the chemical researches of such men as Way and Liebig , and the philosopbica Conceptions of such reformers as F . O . Ward . Perhaps Mr . Mjechx ' s heartiness and good humour contribute to his success : and these qualities were never more
conspicuous than last Saturday , when he exhibited his tubular irrigation works , his sanitary cattlesheds , and his luxuriant wheat and grass crops , with all his usual liveliness of exposition ; and after a sumptuous dinner , and a series of complimentary speeches ( for which , by the way , speaking of a more practical character might well be substituted on future occasions ) , the guests returned to town , strengthened , doubtless , in their adhesion to the principles of tubular sewage collection , and ' Imlar sewage irrigation ; and , perhaps , even prepared to entertain the still more recent and bolder innovation of duplicate drainage , embodied in Mr . F . O . Ward ' s formula—" All the rainfall due to the river , all the sewage due to the soil . "

Employers and Employed . —On Monday evening last , Mr . Alderman Spiers entertained , at his father ' s late residence at Iffley , the whole of the persons employed at his establishments in tho High-street and Cornmarket . They proceeded by water from Christ Church meadow soon after five o ' clock in the afternoon , and on reaching Iffley , the party , numbering about forty , exolusive of six or eight of the juvenile portion of Mr . Spiers ' s family , partook of tea and coffee . The remainder of tho evening was spent in various out-door amusements until nine o'clock , when the party sat down to an elegant supper . Mr . Alderman-Spiers presided , and his
superintendent of the Hig h-street establishment , Mr . Harvey , officiated as vice-chairman . On tho conclusion of tho supper , loyal and appropriate toasts were done justice to in sundry bowls of punch , while tho more abstemious were / supplied with copious daughts from tho crystal spring . Many addresses of an interesting and gratifying nature wore delivered in tlie course ot tho evening , and it yrm delightful tq witness tho kindly feeling which exists between the employer and tho omployod , and tho degree of unity which predominated among the youngest and oldest , and tho highest and lowest members of these establishments . The superintendent of tho Corn-market
establishment , Mr . Seaman ^ took occasion , to communicate to tho party that Mr . Spiers was about to give another practical illustration of his desire to promote their welfare , by conceding a half-holiday every Saturday afternoon to one-third of his establishment , without making any deduction from their wages . This announcement , which was quite unexpected , -was received with the ntmost enthusiasm and satisfaction . Tho song and toast passed merrily round , and it would bo difficult to find any gathering where so much good feeling prevailed , or a greater desiro to contribute to each other ' s happiness . —Owfbrd Journal .

that that rule could not be adhered to . It h been an object with the commissioners to main nearly as possible the language of the acts th solidated ; but , inasmuch as they found that tt offences were described sometimes in one set of and at others in another , they had adopted tha words which they thought the best , and had adh it throughout .
