cntors , and a party to the suit , to the Asiatic sentiments and habits of Mr . Sombre , who was an East Indian both by birth and blood , and who , while he disapproved of the European custom of familiar intercourse between married women and men , conceived himself entitled to great freedom of life and manners . TMr . Princep there fore pleaded that Mr . Sombre was of sound mind at all periods of his life . —The Court was occupied the whole of Thursday , as well as Wednesday , with hearing " the pleadings ; and the decision has not yet been come to . V a t . t , op Abches at the South Lambeth
"Watervtokks . — -The reservoirs of the South Lambeth Company have been recently covered in , in obedience to an Act of Parliament , which enjoins that protection from the vitiated atmosphere of London . On Wednesday morning , the arches over one of the reservoirs being completed , the centres were removed , when the -whole mass of brickwork of twelve or fourteen arches fell in , burying several of the workmen . Assistance was procured , nearly two hundred men commenced digging , and the sufferers were got out ; but four were already dead , and seven others were severely injured . Fatal . Railway Accident o : * the Derby Day . —
Mr . George Trueman , a gentleman about forty-nine years of age , attempted to step into a railway carriage at the Epsom Station on the Derby Day , while the train was in motion , when , being pushed upon by those behind , he missed his footing , and fell between two carriages . He then grasped the step of another carriage , and was dragged for some yards , when he let go his hold , and lay between the wheels and the platform until the train was stopped and he was extricated . Having been taken up to London , he was conveyed to Gay's Hospital , where itwas found that he had sustained a laceration of the scalp extending from ear to ear , and laying the bone bare to a considerable extent , a fracture of the left collar-bone , and contusions of the left shoulder . He died on Saturday . An inquest was held on Tuesday , which resulted in a verdict of " Accidental Death . "
Mysterious Death in Westminster . —An inquest was held at the Westminster Hospital on Tuesday , on the body of a female child . From the statement of Martha Klowles , a young woman living in Breiver'sgreen , Westminster , it appeared that , out of compassion , she received into her lodging a young woman whom she met in Victoria-street carrying the child who has since died . The infant , almost immediately after their meeting , became very sick ; but some days passed without anything serious happening . At length , however ,
in the absence of the mother , the child was discovered struggling , and black in the face . Klowles took it to the workhouse ; but no medical attendance was afforded for several hours , and death ensued . The medical man said he found the child in a stupor , as if from the effect of some narfiotic , though a post mortem examination did not reveal the presence of poison . The mother returned after the child had been taken to the workhouse ; on learning which fact she went away , and has not since been heard of . The jury found an open verdict , to the effect that there was no evidence to show whether the
deceased was poisoned or not . Riots and Loss op Life at South Shtelds . —Some races were held on Tuesday on the sands at South Shields , where an Irishman named Roe had a tent . M'Anelly , another Irishman , had also a tent there . Roe , it is stated , bore M'Anelly a grudge , and on Tuesday he brought several Irishmen down from Newcastle , -with a threat that they would clear the whole of the tents . About midnight a deaf and dumb young man , of the name of Johnson , an Englishman , and a most harmless character , went with another man into Roe ' s tent , where they were attacked in a most furious manner , escapingat last with the blood streaming from their persons . Some Englishmen -who saw their deplorable condition sought out two policemen , and went to Roe's tent . They were immediately attacked by the Irish party , -who
were armed with bludgeons , and were driven outside , where they were joined by two other policemen , and a fierce encounter took place . Two'of the policemen were fearfully beaten about the head with bludgeons , and all four were left insensible . The Englishmen retreated , and the Irishmen made back to their tent , which they barricaded , and whence they fired guns upon the people outside , fortunately without doing any injury . The wounded policemen wcro removed in a cart from the sands to a tavern , and from thence to their homes , where they wore immediately attended to by modical men . By the advice of the Mayor , reinforcements of policemen wore sent for from the River Tyno and Tynemouth police stations , and , iisNintcd by a considerable body of civilians , they murchod down to tho sands . This was about thrco o ' clock in tho morning . Tho
Irishmen were still firing guns , and acting in a riotous manner . Mr . Jluglass , tho commander of tho police , demanded that they Hhould desist , but ho wiw nn . swered by a volley from a gun . Ho went nearer , when Home one thrust a sword through his leg . An order wan tlion given to attack tho tent , when about fifty Irislunnn , armed with pistols , guns , and bludgeons leaded at tho end , rualied out upon them . A desperato conflict oiihuikI , which lasted for about twenty minutcH ; but thirt . y-l . hreo of tho riotora wero uvontunlly captured . Tht > rest fled . Many of tho rioters wore fearfully wounded about . tl » o head , some of them seriously . One of them , Potor Campbell , a bcorfihop-kcepor , died in tho Btiition-houso . Maddiaon , a policeman , la in a very prccuriotin condition .
The Split in the Aberdeen Ministry : Private Correspondence . —The fourth Report of the Sebastopol Committee contains in an Appendix the letters which passed between Lord Aberdeen and Lord John Russell during November and December last , relative to the reconstruction of the War Ministry and the dismissal of the Duke of Newcastle . . The documents were given in by Lord Aberdeen on his examination before the Committee ; but they do not throw any additional light upon the statements made at the time in Parliament , and by the late Premier before the Committee . Lord John Russell
contends that the Duke should be superseded , and Lord Palmerston installed in his place ; Lord Aberdeen holds that he should be maintained . The argument of the former passes from one ground to another—as that the War Minister should be in the House of Commons , that he should be a man of vigour and energy , that the office of Secretary-at-War should be absorbed in that of Minister of War , & c , while the latter persists throughout in discrediting the efficacy of any of the proposed changes , and hints that Lord Palmerston is too old for such onerous duties .
Victimising Emigrants . —A case of reckless speculation without capital has been brought before the Court of Bankruptcy during the past week . The bankrupts , Griffiths , Newcombe , and Griffiths , entered into business as shipowners and insurance brokers without any money resources and entirely upon credit . Their ships ¦ were employed for carrying out emigrants , and were purchased with the money of the people , chiefly of the poorer classes , who were to sail in them . A " Temperance Line of Packets" was started ; but , as the commissioner observed , there are various kinds of intemperance , and the bankrupts were guilty of intemperate speculation . They speedily got into difficulties ; their ships were mortgaged to meet the pressure of debts ; and , although their bills were dishonoured in the April
of last year , they still went on . A ship called the Jane Green was purchased by them ; and they continued to receive money from the emigrants nearly until the bankruptcy . In all , they received 3800 ? . ; but not a farthing of this was applied towards victualling the ship , though the stores would not have cost more than 900 / . The emigrants have consequently lost all their money , and must pay over again . Mr . Commissioner Fonblanque , in giving judgment , said that the trading was reckless and improvident , and that the treatment of the emigrants was fraudulent ; but that , as the bankrupts are very young men , he thought the justice of the case would be met by suspending the certificate for three years , by making it of the third class , and , when granted , by suspending protection for six months .

During the Session of Parliament it is often impossible to find room for correspondence , even the briefest . No . notice can be taken of anonymous communications . Whatever is intended for insertion must be authenticated by the name and address of the writer ; not necessarily for publication , but as a guarantee of his good faith . Communications should always be legibly written , and on one side of the paper only . If long , it increases the difficulty of finding space for them . We cannot undertake to return rejected communication s

Survey Of The War. The Aspect Of The Cam...
SURVEY OF THE WAR . The aspect of the campaign in the Crimea has greatly changed since we last reported progress . It is now nearly two months ago , and within that period there have occurred great events—the second bombardment and subsequent siege operations ; the vast augmentation of the Allied forces in the Crimea ; the seizure of the Straits of Teni-Kaleh ; and the advance across the Tchernaya : in other
words , renewed aggressive activity against the entrenched position of the Russians in Sebastopol , and the resumption of tho initiative against the Russians without Sebastopol . 1 . As to the Siege . —Proceeding ia the order of time , the progress of this remarkable siege must occupy our attention first . The second bombardment began on tho Oth of April , was continued day and night with great vigour for ten days , and gradually grew less and less until about tho 23 rd of that month , when it was suspended . Tho fire while it lasted proved the superiority of tho artillery of the the
Allies . The powerful Flagstaff Battery , key of tho southern line of defences , was , by shot , shell , and mine , shaken and rent , more than half its guns were silenced , and by ft daring movement tho French pushed forward and occupied tho trench formed by the explosion of their mines , within a lew yards oi tho salient angle of the battery . Tho Mamclon , tho Malakoff Tower , tho redoubts on Mount Sapoumo , wero also silenced ior a time , and the Mam el on was , indeed , rendered nearly untenable . But tho bombardment , although it did great dunmge , and
inflicted immense loss on the enemy , produced no decisive result . Probably tlto Allied generals did not anticipate that it would . Their plan of attack Ima been evidently this , to tako tho south side inch by inch , unless somo totally miioroBeoii opportunity for storming arose . ConneqiKMiU y , when they suspended tho bombardment , tnoy began to " push their approaches , on tU »' A " linh side against tho Malakoff and Kednn— - accomplished gallantly by Colonel ttuuivwit and somo men of tho ' . Light Diviwon , " » f ortunately with tho loss of that iino boIikt ; on tho ' French side against the Contra ! Uaa-
