THE TRUSSrAN LEGISLATURE. BERUN, March 20, The report of the Committee on the Budget waa hid before the Chamber of Deputies to day. Durin'the debate on the Military Budget the Minister of NVsr made a speech in which; he maintained the necessity for the reorganization of the tnay, and said that it waa inexpedient to diminish tie military forcea' of "the country, either when on tie war or the peace footing, on account of the pro rortiontte strength of the French, A ustrian, and Hstrian armiet.

He also declared that a three Tears, term of" military service was indispensable, anl considered the present systems of recruit ing the Landwehr, and the reserve insufficient for the defence of Prussia. In thia con viction he had been strengthened by his visit to a Belabouring country; The Government desired to maVe fhc.

SWld the House refuse to vote; the required reform, Prussia would then no longer be the bulwark of Germany, and they might look forward to the end of her greatness.

THE EX8TEH MONDAY REVIEW. THE LOCK OUT. TO TOE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir, Allow roe to suggest that, without repealing the Limited Enlistment Act, it would be quite possible to alter very its provisions with great advantage to the public service. At present the period of Zl years service which entitles, a soldier to a pension varying from Bd.

to 130. a day is nude up by aa enlist ment, in th first instance, for 10, followed by a re enlistment for 11 years. To make th second period longer than, or even equal to, the first is radically wrong. Let the first period of enlistment for 14 snd th second for seven years, with an Increase of pay daring th latter at the rate of Go. a day, and th prospect of a pernios on the completion of 21 years' service, as at' present, and I venture to think that a far higher percentage of re enliitments win be obtained than can 'ever be hoped for unaer exuung arrsrgemcnts.

Your most obedient servant, London, March 20. EX ADJUTANT, TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir, la the debate on the army votes last week attention was directed to th advantage of longer periods el enlist. nient, and the superiority of the experienced soldier to the recruit was enlarged upon. It is obvious that th former roust be in many ways men servieesbl than th latter, but it admit of proof that on the score of health alone the veteran is the more valuable.

Ia his last official report the French Minister of War (October, 1864) states Before (when the system of recruiting altered) tlie proportion of men in tLe army who had served more than seren year was per cent, now it ia S3 per cent. The coincidence of this chane of proportion with the diminution of mortality is proved to be cause and effect.

After the discharge of the jury in the cane of" Da idson, at Belfast, on Saturday morning, another jury was empanelled to try Ilenrv Lsrerty for the murder of John Gorman, in August last.

The Attorney Oenersl briefly stated tho case. John Gorman wss shot at a place called Brown street, in Belfast, on the 10th of August laat. The occurrence took place about half past 6 o'clock in the morning, in broad daylight. Gorman, after being shot, was earned to the, hospital, where he lingered for a few days and then died. A woman named Catherine Devlin, who hail alent the ciffht Dreviouslv in tha houas of a Mr.

O'Rorke, in Millfield, was proceeding to work a little after 6 o'clock. In order to get through Brown street she asked Gorman to escort her. He did. As they turned into Brown street they saw a crowd. A man came forward from the crowd, went down on his knee, presented, snd fired niatol st them.

The shot took effect on Gorman. and, as was stated, caused hit death. Catherine Devlin would 'sweer it wss Laverty who tired the shot, snd that she crk out you will rue this some expression of thai kind. Another witness wunld also be able to identify Lsrerty as the party who shot Gorman, and evidence would be given proving the use of the exprewiion by Catherine Devlin, Lavertr, jbu' will yue Uas." If the' jury lelieved the evidence adduced, they should convict the prisoner. There was some rioting st the time in Brown street i but if the circumiLanoea relied on by the Crown were proved the offence could not be reduced below the crime of murdrr.

Ko matter what disputes there were between mobs, if man came forward and dared deliberately to fire at his fellow creature, inflicting a wound that caused all the i abjecta of Her Majesty ought to know that the party committing that act was guiltv of the highest crime known to the law wilful and deliberate murder. Catherine Devlin was then exsmined by the Solicitor General; and eross exsmined by Mr. Whiteside. Susan Clarke, John O'Korke, Michael M'Cann, J. M'Keevcr, snd Msrgaret Gorman were also examined for the Crown, and cross examined by the Crown counwt, and cross examined by Mr.

Whiteside, who then addressed the jury for the prisoner. The following witnesses for the defence were examined bv Mr. Norwood and Mr. White side Mrs; S. Campbell, If.

Kennodv, William M'Cullr. Margaret Gordon. J. Scott, J. Laverty, William Hell, Mrs.

Thobo'rn, A M'Gowan, and several other wit neoaeiC From their evidence it appeared that the fatal ahot was fired while the two mobs were engaced in fighting. They contradicted the witnesses for the Crown as to the time or tne muruer, sou uepnecu vo circunuumcea vt mow that the risoner could not have fired the shot. Both he and the deceased were' brought to the same ward in th hoapiul, and thev teemed to bo on friendly terms. The Solicitor General having replied for the Crown, Baron Deasy charged the retired at 6 o'clock, and remained in consultation till last7.The foremin then stated that they had not agreed. Again at half past 9 they were called in.

when the foreman stated that there was no probability of their agreeing. At half past 11 o'clock hit Lordship again returned to court. The jury having again appeared in their box. they reiterated the aaauranoe that there wss not the slightest chance of their agreeing to a verdict. His Lordship stated that as the jury were now for so many hours in' consultation, and as he saw no probability of their agreement, and as it only wanted a few minutes of Sunday morning, be saw no possible use in keeping them locked np without refreshment during Sunday.

He would, therefore, on his own responsibility discharge them. They were discharged accordingly. It is not yet known whether these two murder ate will brought oa again at th present sstitrt, or be postponed tin Th Attcvaev Geaersl went to Lifford yesterday morning to attend the Donegal Assises, at which Braddrll will be tried the third time'for the murder of Adam Grierson.

Tradesmen of all tltssts art now com plaining throughout tha Midlands of the dalaeas of trade, aad srs anxiously Inquiring when the strife Is to cease. Thos ahopkeapsrs whe look to th artisan peculation for custom are already great sufferers. On Saturday night th Wolverhampton market, usually thronged with customers, seemed almost entirely deserted. So sault were tb receipts of some of UMstallkeepert, thai they dWlai that if they had not brought money with them to market they should have been scarcely able tt pay their rents. Similar corn plaints are heard from pedple of th same class throughout the black "7i tw am proprietors ox tenements unaia tbey can get no rent from their tenants.

The delegate meeting tummoosd by th Brierly hlll Exe. ruUv btld to day. The delegates had gone fully prepared with Um information which th executive sought with rsfereaos a well to Um views of the district upon th anion as upon aa emigration scheme and they also supplied the Statistics neecssarr to enable th executive to form some eon elusions as to the extent to which aid would ba re quired from the funds of tb xecutive treasury and other source. Tb amount of business before th meeting was very great, and th delegate were engaged in trans acting it up to a lata boar at night. It was not thought that th proceedings would result in th adoption of any measure that would lead to a termination of the lock out.

It was believed, however, that such a result might be hastened by tha' alleged ability of tb anions to maintain their members longer than tb business exigencies of the employers would allow tb Utter to keep their works shut up. Th proceedings were conducted with closed doors. NEWCASTLE ON TYXE. MOSTUY ArntRKOOw, It is anticipated that meetings of the locked out work men will be held ia most of the towns and village in the Iron district to day. There is no alteration in Um aspect of affairs since or any symptom of another meeting of the masters and men to try to bring about aa arrangement; and both parties, for the present at least.

seem determined to fight it Th men appear to imagine that they be backed rip by the other trades anions ia th country, but Um mat ten believe that when other branches of the trad are obliged to "knock off," which hey are sure to do if th lock out continues, it will be Impossible to do so, aa it will tak aa immense sum of money to pay each idle man 10k per week. The ironworkers' lodges. while their funds are whole, seem bent upon relieving the labour market" by escouraging emigration, and there are. no doubt, a good many puddlers, especially young men, who are going off to America. Th unfortunate labourers and off hand men are most to sympathized with, as they are dragged down to idleness and poverty by circumstances over which tbey have no control.

They have held another meet ing at Middlesborousb, but as it was Inconvenient to have reporters present the seeretarv ha handed the follow. ing report of the proceedings to the. press, which haa the merit of originality at any rate Public notie having been given to all the members that a sped! meeting should take place, at 7 o'clock, at the lodge room, at tha appointed time the room was filled almost to suffocation, when Mr. Felix "Govern was elected unanimously to fill the office of chairman, whereupon, at the voic of the chairman, svervthinr wa in perfect silence and order. Mr.

M'Carthy stopped forth, and addressed tne meeting a one! ana patneuc specco. am aoon as or, McCarthy had resumed his seat, Mr. J. W. O'llar.

general secretary to the United Order, said be regretted very much to see the attitude of the matters towards them. They were punished directly and indirectly for things that did not appertain to them, and for which they were not re sponsible. He urged upon toe tne necessity or appealing to th Tjublio at lam. and alao to tha trad croteetion societies, in order to obtain assistance; whereupon Mr. O'Hare moved a resolution to the effect that such appeal for easist anoa be mad.

It was seconded, and carried unanimously. It was moved and carried unanimously that a requisition ba drawnout and sent to eachbnrgea aad ratepayer, in order to obtain their signsturea, and to be presented to the msyor, requesting him to call a meeting at his earliest convenience. This and several other major matters were several of the speakers declaimed very much on the cruelty of the masters. Mr. O'Hare rare intimation he should appeal to every trades union in England, and he also urged the necessity of sobriety, economy, and due respect to the laws and constitution of tb country.

After, tne business had been concluded, the officers, in company with Mr, James W. O'Hare, general secretary, went into committee to deliberate upon their future course of action, upon which the chairman dispersed the meeting." A letter from Consett states The lock out haa already begun to tell severely on, this town, for, in addition to the puddlers who are not allowed to wore, a lonnigavs notice nas oeen givtn to tne niacssmius, slaerers. coke burners, nnerallsbourera, fitters, and Joiners, to the number of about 300 men, to csas work. This will add materially to the suffering in the place. Had th men ben at work Saturday would hav been the par day, and ou that occasion the main street is usually crowded with stalls for the sale of food ami clothing in all their variety but on Saturday a small display of such commodities wa made, not more than two or' three being pitched, st which very few purchasers indeed were to be seen.

Another feature ia the lock out is the murratibo of score of DeorJa from th place, large numbers having ton off either to America or elsewhere. It has been stated alto that the Ironworkers' Lodge, are willins to pay in full or aaiiit such of their members as are willing to emicrate. and it ia thought many will avail themselves of this opportunity. For a number of wee let past between 3U ana VI milimen eraploved by the Consett Iron Company have been on strike, snd hare hsd to receive aid from the lodge. It seems thst each millman works one fnrnsee.

but the masters thought two men could easily tend three furnaces between them, and wished them to do so. The workmen, demurred snd then struck work, snd neither party has aa ret given in. How this will end remains to be seen, bnt there are not a few people who are inclined to think that the milimen would now gladly resume work on the msaters' terms if Friday was the dividend dsy at the Co operative Store, and the shareholders generally took out their dividends in kind, thereby effecting a considerable saving. The funds of the local lodge, it is said, are not in such a condition ss to afford any great relief to the men locked out, and this, added to the general poverty of the labourers, mutt cause great distress in the place. The credit intern between the tradesmen and the workers is extensively in vocue, snd it it feared that if work be discontinued long serious apprehensions for the order of the place will be felt.

As yet, however, a sort of indifference prevails as to the lock out. A meeting is to be held to hear a report from the local delegates, snd slso to hear an explanation of Mr. Mirer's statement at York thst the men of Con sett would be willing to shm a document pledging themselves not to support the Korth Staffordshire men whereas the men hul a decided aversion from anything of a documentary form. It is understood that the representatives of the press will not be admitted to the meeting." The threatened eviction of the families of the union men st Spennymoor from their cottages has been averted by the masters keeping the amount of the rent from the "baff week pay of the men. A letter from that village furnishes the following particulars of it ttate and protpeett In these the number of men employed in the mills and puddling furnaces is somewhere between 000 snd 700 nut of this numticr there are scarcelr.

it is said. 200 members of the union, while tb remaining W0 are ab tolotely prevented from following their work. If matters continue tn ttatu quo tor a lengthened period the non unionists at these works have, therefore, more to fear from this interruption to their labour than their brethren. On Thursdsy all the hinds in the mills, were paid in full, while also the sum of 18QL, it is said, was received from the executive in the latter part of the week for distribution among the men, being, it is alleged, equal to about It per man. The effect of the lock outduring the past weelcal thoush it has depressed man of the trades in thevillsge, hss not prevented the shopkeepers from' supplying the locked out with goods on credit, which it It believed" they will continue to do.

On the other hand, the collieries in the neighbourhood continue to work full timeand in the other departments of the company's establishment the men work st hitherto. It is thborht that most of the men are disposed to support their Stafford brethren pecuniarily, and would do ao if in emrdovmebt. An appeal will be mail to other trades for atsittsnee if matters remain as thev are at present. A sum of is expected to be remitted from the men employed st the glassworks in Sunderland during the ensuing week towards the relief of the ironworkers here. Since the lock out several men have left the place to seek employment elsewhere, and a further migration will take place shortly unless the works are re opened in a few days." These are all the particulars that have reached this town to day from the iron districts, and they are not very cheering.

Extraordinary Proceediso. On Saturday at Tork Castle, before Mr. H. Thompson and Mr. W.J.

Coltman, West Riding seven men, named William and Thomas KetUewell, William Allison, George Ratty, William Whiteley, George Robinson, and Henry Stead, were charged with having, on the 8th of March, forcibly entered a house at Askham Bryan, near York, belonging' to Benson and John Mitchell Barttow, whom they forcibly expelled. It appeared that William KetUewell fancied he was the rightful heir of Miss Ann Fswcett, who died intestate, and of whose property th Bars tows have nowposaession. On the morning of the 8th of March, while Mr. Benson Barstow was st breakfast, William KetUewell. Allison, and Batty presented themselves at the back door of Mr.

Barstow's house, and delivered a note to the cook for her muter. This she delivered in the breakfast room, and as she left this place she found that she had been followed bv the men whom she had left at the door. The note ran 1805. Mr. Barstowtr Sir, I hop you will ex euae us coming to see the house, as we want to see round it, Yours truly, Lord MccK." Mr, Bart low had not Ume to read this cote before the three men in question entered the breakfast room, snd Allison introduced William Kettle well as th heir of the law." and desired Mr.

Barstow to Oil Creek Valler, ami many others appear to be scattered I quit the place.

The report of this popular jockey's engagement to Lord Stamford is unfounded. RAILWAY ACCWSSTS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir, If Mr. Milner Gibson had been in th carriage to which the accident happened on the Great Western Eailwsy last Mondsy night I don't think would have treated the subject of Uie debate on Thursday with so much coolies and apparent indifference to the welfare of thjtr felling public, on whose behalf Her Majesty has recently exnVessed her marked eoncem.

It so happened that I Was in the same carriage with, and in the next compartment to that occupied by, Mr. Berkley when the axletree or spring of Ui carriage broke, and I can assure you that evy possibl effort was made, both by shouUug snd signalling; during th journey to attract the attention of Uie guard, not only in the compartment occupied by myself, but also lij Uie other divisions of Uie same carriage, which, if I remember rightly, was about the centre one of Uie train. The sounds from the next compartment, however, though lustily emitted, were to us hardly audible, and Uie pockethandkerchief which fluttered in Uie breese must have been scarcely perceptible at the end of the train in the guard's box; At the various stations on th line, too, all was darkness and silence. With these disadvantages, therefore, it was not to be wondered at that the attention of th guard was not a routed to Uie imminent danger we were in but when I add (from information which has since been vouchsafed) that Uie guard himself was engaged inside bis' van sorting parcels Uie entire distance between Reading and Paddington, no one will be surprised that he neither heard Uie sounds nor saw the signals of distress. External signals, of any kind in such a ease as this would therefore be useless as a means of communication.

As you observe in your article upon the subject to day, "to establish communication between guard and driver is a mere matter of a piece of rope." It is the same between passenger and guard, and had there been any such direct means of communicating with the guard, shut up in his box, on Moodav night last; one gentle man wouiu nave oeen tparea a oroscn tuuoio, anotarr a broken arm, and several, other persons a severe snaking, and all th ehaae for half aa hour of a violent and shocking death. It is surely to be hoped that torn good may speedily come tn narrow escape trrueninos wno travelled by the train in question had, and that, now the notice of Government ha been drawn to thisi important subject, it will not be allowed to drop or be delayed until some more disastrous occurrence may recau punuc attention to it. I am, Bir, your cbecuent servant, EDWARD POPE. 10, GrsyVinn fquare, March 20. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIME3.

Sir, An accident, which but for, the Interposition of a merciful Providence might have tamed oat a most fearful catastrophe, occurred on Thursday evening, laat to a train ia which I was travelling on tb Great Northern line between Retford and Grantham. A no live were lost; I presume it was. not thought of sufficient importance to record but, as it demonstrates so fully the paramount necessity that exists for some method of communication, by which. Uie pas. gengers can inform those in charge of th train of any danger they may be in, it may not, perhaps, be out of place in your columns.

In a very short tim after leaving th station, where they were examined, a tire flew off one of the wheels, and the carriage, having left the rails, went bumping along for a mil and a half, and subsequently was cApsued on its side, and dragged over 100 yards in that position. As luck would have it, Uie driver happened to turn round and, seeing Uie state of affairs, st once shut of the steam. Tful sash not been the esse. Uie carriaee must hav been shivered to pieces in a minute or two more, and the unfor tunate occupanta literally grouno. to ueaw.

am it was uey were oniv onuseu aim iiikuxuim. Such an aecidant at once suggests the consideration of two subjects 1, if the examination of Uie wheels wss well and efficiently carried out, bow is it Uie tire flew off so soon after Ieavine tb station wbere tnev were tested and in aneeted To aar truth, such'wa conducted in a most off hand way, the man "merely walking' along the line and tapping the wheels almost without looking at them; talking to a friend all Uie while 2. a it appears that the publie must wait for an amendment In toe present system untu tne committee on this subject have finished their labours, could not the line at oresent communicating between guard and driver. and which is earrisd along under the carriages, be placed on Uie top, running along Uie window, and thus enable th passengers to communicate at once with Uie driver should their lives be in danger I I remain, your obedient servant. vv.

S. ii. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES' Sir. Notwithstanding the sunshine, it is difficult now to' see across sr. James ttreex.

It would be a satisfaction to me and others to know whe ther the authorities are waiting for rainy weather to commence watering Uie streets. our oneuieni servant, Monday. A RATEPAYER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES Sir, A peck of March dust is worth a king's ransom is an old saying, and probably a true one in an agricultural sense, but in the city and among its traders I don't think it holds good for Uie discomfort to passengers and loss to shopkeepers from March dost are incalculable. The city authorities, I am informed, never water the streets till the March winds have passed away but when the spring showers of April render the process almost unnecessary tbey officiously Interfere with Uie operations of nature and mak np for their previous apathy by converting Uie streets into a sea of liquid mud.

Surely, the citizens would not object to pay for th comfort of a little water during the proverbially moat windy, and, consequently, Uie most dusty, monUr of Uie whole year. By calling attention to thi subject you will confer a boon upon everv one who ha business in the city. 'Your obedient servant, DCST HO. raniaJ. Ta as If Mr.

H. S. Sotheron Ettcourt, took place at Devize yesterday. It was generally understood in the district thst there would, be no opposition to Uie return of Lord Charles Bruce; but, to the surprise of a large number of the electors, a candidate in Uie Conservative interest was brought forward at Uie last moment. The proceedings were ooened by Uie High Sheriff Mr.

The nomination of Mr. Fowler having been se 00 oiled by Mr.

After thanking them for the flattering manner in which he had been received tliat day, and expressing his deep regret at the retirement of Mr. service of the county and Uie country at large, his lordship proceeded to apeak of the general principle which professed and Uie causes which he supported. Those principle were the principles of Uie Liberal party, and1 those cause were Uie canses cf progress and of improvement, (AppUnse.) For more than 30 rear these principle had been in that ascendant in this couatrT, and th heaetita aad th change which hail been accomplished during (bat period must bo admitted by all. Among other improvements had been witnessed a general reform in Parliamentary meestation tb Church had also been reformed, manicipsi institutions had been established upon a more liberal and satisfactory footing; tended among the humbler classes (spplarue) and fret) trade, uie ueaaings of wtucn no one wourr.

venture to dispute, had developed! itself in our commercial system. (Cheers.) The trade ami prosperity of this country had increased to a pitch which wait unrivalled ia anr other land. or in any other Ume. A treaty of commerce bl been concluded with France, whoa all line wss as important and as desirable for the general civilian tioo of the whole world at it was for our owa prosperity. (Hear, bear.) Commercial treaties had likewiae been concluded with Cclgrum, Italy, sod other foreign Powers, ami if looked away from home we.

should find that fr. sh markets had, been opened in China and Japan. The public re venae bad increased so enormouslv that tax after tax had been taken ofT. and still it continued to increase. ince 1S39 no lesa than eight million of indirect and five million of direct tax ation had been annually reduced.

(Applause.) A great reduction had also been mad iu the custom and excise duties, and in four years no less than four snd a half millions had been remitted. Thus, while our taxes had been diminished our prosperity had increased, and notwithstanding the secession in America he showed that our trade had enormously increased. The Government had been striving; it much as possible to reduce the public expenditure, which, was necessarily very larre. Our armaments h'ul Uen in creased, at a great cost, in a decree corresponding with, Uie progress mad by other nations, but at the saroo time the Government had steadily kept in view tho principle of non intervention. (Applause.) Thi was particularly exemplified in the ease of America, where neither taunts nor pressure had induced the Government to twerv from that perfect neutrality which it bad professed to maintain.

(Applanse.) No greater calamity could befal thi country than a war with America, unless, indeed, it ws a war with France in his judgment, therefore, th Government mmt be supported in its endeavour to carry out its principles of neutrality, and he aked, what man was more capable than Lord Palmerston, who had an accumulated ex rerience of two re ne rations of statesnien. to guide th counsels of this nation in thrae principles, which, in fact. were universally admitted be ngbt I Applause. With reeard to the malt tax. he considered that in the abstract it was not a good on.tnl there were many objections to it but it mutt be looked at from a fin social point of view.

(Applause.) It was his firm belief that the only way to get rid of the impost was by persevering in Uie present system of Government by extevsrf. inr our trade, and or a policy of peace, which alone would enable us to dispense with the six millions produced bv th tax. slis wrutnip concluded wim a lew general remark. Mr. FowlkS alao addressed Uie electors, principally arll in upon th so called eomraut between th Liberal aad Conaervstiv parties in that division of th county.

He also criticized Lord Brace's general policy, and concluded by repudiaUnsthat a coalition existed between Uie two parties, and announcing that under the circumstances in which they were placed it would be wronx to tb nobis lord as well as to that division of th county if they went to a poll.
