THE MAYNOOTH REPORT. The Earl of WINCHELSEA., after calling attention to the fact that the ecclesiastical titles, prohibited to the Roman Catholic prelates by the emancipation act of 1829, bad been used in the report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the management of the College at Maynooth, moved that an amended copy be laid upon the table with the illegal titles omitted. He characterised the use of these titles in such a document as an insult to the Protestant feding a the country. The Earl of HARROWBY, as one of the Commissioners, in- sisted that there was nothing illegal in giving these titles; the illegality was in their assumption. The Commissioners had endeavoured to avoid tampering with the spirit of the act; but in a country where, from long habit and custom, such titles were in constant use, it was difficult to steer clear of all objections. _ _ _ A discussion followed, in which the Earl. of Derby, Earl of Rardwicke, the Lord Chancellor, and Lord Campbell engaged, nearly all of whom recommended the noble Earl to withdraw his motion, as the object of it would have been sufficiently answered by the discussion.. The Earl of Winchelsea eventually withdrew the motion. ACCIDENTS ON RAILWAYS On the motion that the Accidents on Railways' Bill be read a third time, The Earl of EGLINTON moved the omission of the clause giving power to the Board of Trade to compel the construc- tion of bridges to prevent lines crossing public roads upon the level. He objected particularly to the retrospective operation of the clause. Lord STANLEY of Alderley supported the clause, and after considerable discussion the house divided— For the clause Against Majority for After some further discussion, the bill was read a third time, and passed. The other bills on the table were advanced a stage, and the house adjourned at 8.10 p.m. HOUSE OF COMMONS'. MONDAY. The house met at four o'clock. In reply to Colonel SMYTHE, Sir B. HALL stated that it was not his intention to _proceed this session, with the Public Health Bill; he should, however, propose to go into committee, pro forma, to-morrow (Tuesday), for the purpose of inserting in it several amendments suggested, and that the bill should be reprinted, and circulated during the recess, previous to its introduction next session. This course would render it necessary to introduce a short bill to continue the General Board of Health, and also to attach a medical officer to the board. Mr. HUGH ADAIR, on behalf of Mr. Shafto Ad4r, gave notice that, when Mr. Roebuck brought forward his motion, for a vote of censure upon the ministry, he would move the following amendment:—" That this house is of opinion, that the counsels which determined the expedition to the Crimea were consistent with a bold and sagacious policy, just to our allies, and commensurate with the objects of the war and, further, that perseverance in a similar policy alone can afford hope of securing an honourable and permanent peace." In reply to Mr. Milner Gibson, Lord PALMERSTON stated that the government had determined to lay upon the table of the house the whole of the correspondence bearing upon the Austrian proposal, to which the right hon. gentleman had already referred. The correspondence was now in preparation, and in the course of a couple of days he hoped to lay it before the house. Sir G. GREY, in reply to a question from Mr. Liddell, said it was a legal question from what quarter compensation should should decline to answer it from his place in parliament. be paid for the damage committed on Sunday, and therefore he The right hon. Baronet, in reply to another question put by Sir J. Pakington, said no orders had been given to withdraw the police from any part of the town on Sunday. In answer to Mr. Crawford, Mr. PEEL stated that the ques- tion of a general exchange of English and French prisoners for Russian was now in the hands of a court, consisting oanglish and French officers. Lord PALMERSTON, in reply to Captain Scobell, said the only cause of the delay in the institution of the intended new Order of Merit was the necessity for further consideration of the details. Mr. STAFFORD gave notice that, to-morrow, he should ask a question from the head of the government, whether Dr. Andrew Smith had retired ? and whether Dr. Hall still con- tinued at the head of the medical department at the seat of war ? Mr. ROEBUCK gave notice that, to-morrow, he should move a call of the house for the 17th July. (Hear.) , Sir G. GREY, replying to Mr. Adderley, stated that eight or nine persons were arrested during the riotous proceedings on Sunday, Colonel PENNANT asked whether the occupiers in those parts of the town would be within the law if they associated themselves for the protection of their property, next Sunday, without being sworn as special constables. Sir G. GREY said, that, in the event of government having any reason to apprehend similar disgraceful proceedings next Sunday to those last Sunday, everyprecaution would be taken to prevent them, and to arrest the offenders, and, in doing so, they would be happy to concur with the inhabitants of the district, and to receive their assistance. ( Hear.) EDUCATION (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the motion for going into committee on the Education . ( Scotland) Bill, Mr. E. LOCKHART moved the recommitment of the bill, on the ground that some new clauses which had been pro- posed on Friday had been omitted or altered. The LORD ADVOCATE declined to assent to the motion. A short debate took place upon the question, and the house divided : For the motion Against it Majority against —66 The house then proceeded to consider the bill as amended, when the Lord Advocate brought up some clauses on one which provided that if any complaint should be made to the School Committee, in regard to the religious or moral teaching of the master, the board should direct every enquiry to be made into the complaint by the School Committee, the inspector, and such other person as the board might appoint. Mr. Blackburn, Mr. Scott, Sir A. Campbell, and others opposed the clause. The house then divided, and the numbers were— For the clause Against it 64 Majority for -54. The clause was consequently added to the bill. Mr. VANSITTART then moved a clause, to the effect that, no person should be compelled to pay an assessment to a public school who had paid, during the year, a sum equal to such as- sessment to any school supported by voluntary contribution. The SPEAKER, however, decided that, in point of form, this clause could not be moved at this stage of the bill, and it was consequently withdrawn. Lord W. GRAHAM then moved the insertion of words in the first clause, to the effect that, all the members of the Educational Board should be exclusively Protestants. The LORD ADVOCATE opposed the motion, on the ground that it was inexpedient to introduce such words. The house then divided— For the motion Against it Majority against On clause 27, Mr. ALEXANDER BASTIE moved the omission of the words " By the master," the effect of which would be to- confine religions teaching to the ministers. 112 -68 The LORD ADPOCA.TE said he could not accede to the pro- position, as it would introduce divisions in religious teaching. The house divided : • For the motion Against Majority against —9s The remaining amendments were then disposed of, and the bill was ordered to be read the third time on Thursday.

DEAFNESS AND DISTRESSING NOISES IN THE EARS AND HEAD. . . This day published, by a Physician of fifteen years' practice in diseases of the Ear only, a Book, to be given away or sent by post to any part of the world, MODE of SELF-CURE for Country Patients, by means of his new and infallible treatment, only dis- covered within the last few weeks by Dr. MANFRED, Physician- Aurist. Thousands in this short space of time have been restored to perfect hearing, without absence from home or causing the least pain or inconvenience to the most aged or nervous sufferer, although having been deaf for twenty or thirty years; many are enabled, almost instantaneously, to hear a whisper. This dis- covery has been proclaimed by all the head Physicians and Sur- geons of London, to be one of the most miraculous and invaluable ever made in Aural Surgery; and the same gentlemen have pur- suaded Dr. MANFRED to give p.iblicity to it, for the purpose of saving the poor afflicted from th a lvertising quacks with assumed titles, whose fraudulent advertisements area disgrace to the press, their only desire being to plunder the afflicted ; and, in doing so, many hundreds are rendered incurable for life through their entire ignorance of the treatment. Doctor MANFRED, M.R.C.5.,E., Physician and Consulting Surgeon to the Institution for the Cure of Deafness, 84, Wimpole-street, Cavendish-square, London, receives Patients as above, and applies his New Treatment every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, from 11 until 3.—Poor, on Monday and Thursday, between 6 and 8 in the Evening. Dr. MANFRED hopes they will not refrain from seeking relief by means of his recent discovery; and if confidence is required, Dr. MANFRED will be happy to show thousands of letters from per- sons cured, both rich and poor.

THE NAVAL BRIGADE. The detachments from the hard-working and little-noticed Naval Brigade consisted of four parties of 60 men each, one for each column, but only two of them went out, the other two being kept in reserve ; they were told off to carry scaling- ladders and wool-bags, and to place them for our storming- parties. It is not to be wondered at if they suffered severely. On that eventful day 14 men were killed and 47 men wounded. Two men were killed, and several others were wounded, by the bursting of one of our 68-pounders in the left attack. Among the latter was Major Stuart Wortley, who was injured by the explosion. As soon as the two storming columns got out of the parallel the sailors suffered severely. When the men retreated, overwhelmed by the storm from the enemy's battery, several officers and men were left behind wounded, and endured fearful agonies for hours, without a cup of water or a cheering voice to comfort them. Lieutenant Kidd came in all safe, and was receiving the congratulations of a brother officer, when he saw a wounded soldier lying out in the open air. He at once exclaimed— "We must go and save him !" and leaped over the parapet in order to do so. He had scarcely gone a yard when he was shot through the breast, and died in au hour after. Only three officers came out of action untouched. Captain Peel, who commanded the detachment, was shot through the arm: Lord Raglan visited the wounded in hospital, and made many enquiries about them.

lightness of stocks has tended materially to curtail the transactions of the week ; prices continue to have an upward tendency, and prospects rather more en- couraging.

HOLME, SLATER, and CROOK, in their monthly circular, say :--- The arrivals from British North America, containing Timber, into the docks of the Mersey, during the month, are —ll vessels, 8,789 tons, against 19 vessels, 14,761 tons, for the corresponding period last year. The consumption has been greater than was expected, especially of Spruce Deals ; and the import having been much less than last year, an im- provement in price has been the result, which will only be maintained by a short import. The auction sales during the month have been well attended, and considerable quantities disposed of. Of Baltic Timber, the arrivals during the month are 10 vessels, 3,151 tons, against 8 vessels, 2,721 tons, for the corresponding period last year. A cargo of Memel, one-third first middling, and two-thirds second, sold at ls. 7d. per foot ; by auction, two cargoes of Dantzic Whitewood sold at from 13-1-d. to 130. per foot.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES. MANCHESTER .—There is considerable dulness in the mar- ket again this week. After the subsidence of the small ex- citement in the Liverpool cotton market at the close of last week, this market relapsed into the state of quietude it had previously assumed, and on Tuesday a total absence of any- thing approaching animation was evidenced. Below the re- duced rates that prevailed at the early part of the previous week, spinners and manufacturers were not inclined to go; whilst both the home and foreign houses appeared very in- different about operating, and offered lower rates. Since Tuesday, under the influence of a further decline and con- tinued dulness in cotton, concessions have been made for yarns and goods which have led to some transactions, but these instances are by no means general, and the market closes with rather more irregularity, and, at the same time, with but little appearance of an increased or steady demand. At the same time, it is becoming pretty evident that prices are again approximating to the point that may be considered pretty safe, and at which buyers are likely to operate with confidence. Spinners still continue to have an advantage over manufacturers. Whilst goods continue to be comparatively very dull of sale, there is rather more doing in yarns, both for India and the Continent, as well as the Mediterranean. Goods are only purchased where low prices are accepted; this in- ducement being required before sales can be effected. Such sales—and they are not many or large—as have been effected of India goods would appear to be at 'ruinous rates, and sub- mitted to to get rid of accumulating stocks. The Greek houses continue very inactive, their udvices not being of a very 14w:irable nature. In other gasses of goads much dul- ness prevalls.—Manchester Courier. ROCIAJALE.—No change in the flannel market. The wool market continues firm and the demand steady. Iit"DDERSFIELD.—Our market has been tolerably active `more people about, and a decidedly better feeling for the 'future. Prices are still very firm, with, if anything, an up• `ward tendency. LEEDS.—Prices are steady, and the mills continue to be 'pretty well employed. A number of buyers have been down during the week, and business has been rather brisk in the warehouses for the bon% trade, but there has been little doing for the foreign trade. BRADFORD.—WooIs: The supply of wool in the market in- creases daily. This remark applies to all descriptions except colonial. Prices rule firm. Noils and blokes are in greater plenty, and the prim has not advanced to the extent of long and combing wools.—Yarns : Spool yarns are in good demand, and buyers lravelo wait for the spinners before they can get supplied. Prices Are consequently firm, and still looking up- ward. Where •contracts are made, the terms are higher by 6d. to 9d. per gross over last month's quotations. In reeled yarns the shippers have been less active.—Pieces : A steady business doing in this branch of our trade ; goods, indeed, being generAlly made to order. NOT TING EA M.—Until it is seen what the established price of yarn may be, hosiers are necessarily holding off buying yarns to niake goods except at enhanced prices, .which spinners feet compelled to demand in the present state of the cotton market. •Ole general state of both the hosiery and lace trades is such as not to call forth any special remarlethis week. LEiCrSTEß.—Business continues about as last reported. Tsrs Liverpool postmen diseluarge their duties-this week in uniform. MR. HAROLD LITTLEDADE has accepted -a seat at the Board of the Great Western, and attended a meeting of direc- trrs en Thursday. TILE British and North American Mail steamer Canada, Commodore Judkins, sailed 'hence for Halifax and Boston on Saturday, with 100 passengers and a full cargo. WILLIAM Lawson, manufacturing-chemist at the Apothe- caries-hall, Colquitt-street, 'died, on Friday night, from the effects of injuries on the head, mused by falling out of the upper warehouse door on'the previous Saturday. 'DAMAGE to the extent of £1,500 was caused by fire in a ,warehouse, in Hurst-street, in 'the neighbourhood of New Wapping, on Saturday -morning. The premises belong to Messrs. R. Gardner and Son, bloekmakers, and the stock was insured for £6OO. :ISDPERANNI7A.TION •OF MR. -ARNAUD.—Mr. Elias Arnaud, • after half-a-century of able and zealous public-service, nearly thirty-two years of which have been passed in-the Collector- ship of Liverpool, has,'by an order received within the present week, been placed on the retired list, at the •superannuation ‘allowance of £2,200 a-year ; and he now merely holds his office huni,il his successor is appointed. 'Van LANCASUIRZ MILITIA.—RetUFYIS issued on Friday, -show the present state of the Militia, and the extent to which the strength of the various regiments has been effected by the War-office Circular,,ef the 27th March. The number of vo- lunteers serving in the Lancashire Militia on the Ist of:March was as follows :--Ist Infantry, •‘248 ; 2d Infantry, 652 ; 3d _ Infantry, 939 ; 4th Light Infantry, 764 ; sth Infantry, 621. an,,, —L... enrolled hof.re the 12th May, 1854, who left the regiment on the War-office Circular, were as follows :-Ist, 101; 2d, 277 ; ad.,.192; 4th, 273; 45th, 115. The numbers who took the £1 additional bounty to complete -their terms of service were, lst,,C ; '2d,,198; 3(1,367 ; 4th, 207 ; sth, 270. The 6th andl7th Regiments have not been embodied. The effective force of therfwe regiment& embodied was, on the 30th April, as follows 6 officers, 25 non-commissioned officers, and2Bo privates ; z2d;.28 officers, 66 non-commissioned officers, and4ls privates ;.3d,-.28 officers, 100 non-commissioned offi- cers;•and 803 privates; ,4th, 24 officers, 93 non-commissioned officers, and 534. privates ; sth, 31 ,officers, 84 non-commis- sioned officers, and 697 ,privates total, 117 officers, 368 non- commissioned officers, and 2,729 privates. Woineg OF sAN EXICIRANT &W.—Accounts have just been received of the wreck of the English ship Lochmaben Castle, Captain Turnerovith nearly 600 souls on board, on a formidable. reef known.as the Bird. Rocks, in the Gulf of St. Lawreuce. She was.a first-class ship of 1,600 tons, and left Liverpool in the latter 'end of May for Quebec, with 557 passengers, men, women,.and children, and a cargo of rice, &c. On the uth ult. thick hazy weather at in, and she ran upon the Bird Rocks. Signals of distress -were fired, and the greater part of the, cargo was thrown overboard. After an entire day s suspense, -a bark, the-Sophia M'Kenzie, Captain Greenhorn, of London, came in sight, and hearing the signals bore down,and the captain-consented to receive the emigrants. 210 women and children were first taken from the wreck on board the bark, when night et in with a heavy gale and thick fog, and Captain Greenhorn, for the safety-of his vessel, was obliged to tear away and proceed to Quebec, where the wo- men and .children were. landed. The- latest -accounts speak of the captain, .crew, and remainder of the passengers being landed on /3y,ron Island, some 15 miles from the rocks. The ship and cargo, it is feared, are a total loss, but both are insured to a large amount. EMIGRITLONa2OSILIVICEPOOL.—The number ef emigrants ,viho left Liverpool for all foreign ports during the quarter ending June 30,..is 43,880, being a.decrease of 40;350 on the .4erresponding ,cluarter of 1854. The sailings to Australia show a corresponding diminution with the decrease to the United States and NOrth American ports. Two vessels of the • " Mersey" line proceeded to sea on Tuesday,; the Monteagle, Captain Lorby, for Melbourne, with X2O passengers.; and the Theodore, Captain Davys, for Adelaide, with 15 passengers. The Constance, Captain Christie, ,of xessrs. Henry Thomas and Co.'s " Black Star"-line, is now in the river, and will sail in a day or two with nearly 200 passengers and a large cargo; the Africa, Captain O'Neill, of Messrs. Magee, Levingstone, and Wghew's "Liverpool" line, will go out of the Prince's Dock into the river, on .Thursday-; the Albatross, Captain .Geves, of Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co.'s -" Eagle" line, will leave the Prince's Doek early•this week, and will take out a full complement of passengers,; and the :beautiful clipper Queen of the East, belonging to the " Fox" line of packets, willaail,inarCew days, on her .second :voyage to the colOnies, :taking out only 150 passengers, about one-third of the com- plement which her owner might crowd into her, were he not desirous of studying the comfort of those on board. S'osx.e.GE,TO.4,IISTRALIA.—About,a year ago a A3d. rate of postage for letters not exceeding half an ounce was adopted between this country and the Australian colonies; on the understanding that the colonial governments would adopt the same rates. It seems, however, that the colony of Victoria has Called to do so, and imposed a is. rate. Last month notice was consequently issued by the Post-office, intimating that the rate of postage would be increased from this country to that °dolly to ls. under half an ounce, and so on by increase of weight, and signifying that the postage must be paid in advance. To all the other Australian colonies the postage con, tinues 6d., as before, and the payment in advance is optional. Owing to the compulsory payment in the case of letters to Victoria, more than 10,000, which were intended to go by the Champion of the Seas on the 4th instant, have been returned, through the Dead Letter-office, to the senders. The parties inconvenienced consider this a grievance, and ask why should the prepayment of letters be made compulsory to Victoria,when to all our other colonies it is optional. But it is to be presumed the colony have not only failed to accept the sixpenny arrange- ment, but also to make such provisions as would enable pay- ment on this side to be dispensed with, and that the case is one in which the London Post-office has no alternative. AGGRAVATED ASSAULT ON THE POLlCE.—Yesterday, two men, named John Cowan and James Carthy, were charged before Mr. Mansfield with a violent assault upon police-con- stables 413 ,and 74, on Sunday night, at the upper end of Vauxhall-road. From the evidence, it appeared that, about a week or ten days before, police-constable 413 had charged two companions of Cowan and Carthy with an assault upon him, which was clearly pgoved, and the prisoners, in that instance, were sentenced to imprisonment for three months. The two present prisoners, it would appear, along with some others, had resolved to inflict vengeance on the constable, and for this purpose had entered into a combination against him. On Sunday night, about 11 o'clock, as he was going about on his beat, a woman came up and asked if he were a Welsh police- man, and he said he was. She then told him he had better take care, as five men were lying in wait to kill him. He said he should take care, and was proceeding with his exami- nation of the doors of shops and public-houses. While doing so, the prisoner Cowan rushed out from behind a door, and made a violent blow at him with a brick, which, fortunately, did not strike the witness on the head, otherwise it would certainly have injured him very seriously. As it was, it hurt him much upon the shoulder, and falling on the ground broke in two. Witness closed with Cowan, who was assisted by Carthy. His comrade 74 then came to his assistance, and the other three men of whom the woman had spoken ran away. Cowan and Carthy were given into custody, and the witness stating that he knew the men and where they were to be found, and also believed he could find out where the woman lived, Mr. Mansfield adjourned the further hearing of the case until issued for day. In the mean time he directed warrants to be for the apprehension of the three men, and dewed that the attendance of the woman might be secured. LATEST NEWS. THE WAR. We have advices from Constantinople to the 28th June:— The Turks had abandoned Kars, and were concentrating their force at Erzeroum. The Russians were advancing, and the Turkish generals demanded reinforcements. The Presse d'Orient reports that the Circassian garrison of Anapa is harassed by a Russian force; that the Circassians have not been able to regain the military road, and that they are encamped to the number of fourteen battalions on the heights above Soujak-Kale: It was said that the Russian General Korniloff was march- ing at the head of 20,000 men against Yenikale, where 8,000 of the Allied troops were well entrenched and ready to receive him. _ _ The Russian reinforcements sent into the Crimea have been compelled to return through want of provisions. Forty large pieces of ordnance have opened fire on the Rus- sian ships in the harbour of Sebastopol. It was rumoured in the Turkish camp that Suleyman Pacha and Ismail Pacha were to march against Ismail. General Bosquet has resumed his old command. General Canrobert will shortly proceed to the assault with his division. VIENNA, July 7. The Vienna Gazette contains a semi-official article in reply to the Emperor Napoleon's speech, in ,so far as the latter touched upon Austria. The article in question maintains that Austria has fulfilled the obligations imposed on her by the treaty of December 2, and that she is not bound to take any further steps. BERLIN. Saturday, July 12. The Prince of Prussia is going to St. Petersburg on family business. This journey has no political signification.

This soothing remedy has the effect not only of arresting the vomiting, which is so fearfully dis- tressing in cancer of the stomach, but also of restoring perfect digestion and assimilation. The same satisfactory influence of this exceltent remedy I have found in all complaints of the diges- tive organs; it has also proved effectual in a most obstinate case of flatulence and colic of many years standing. i look upon this delicious food as the most excel ent restorative gift of nature—Dr. Gattiker. More ample details about this valuable discovery than we have rotlm for will be found in Messrs. Du Barry's advertise- ments.

A GIANTESS. THE last number of the American Phrenological Journal contains a biography and sketch of the character of Silvia Hardy, the Maine Giantess. We make the following extract :—She was born in the year 1825, in the village of Wilton, Franklin county, State of Maine. Miss Hardy was, at birth, one of the smallest of infants. Dr. Barker, of Wilton, who attended her mother at the time, used to remark that he had never seen anything, even of the twin kind, so diminutive. Her twin brother died at a very early age. Both together only weighed, we are assured, three and a half pounds. Miss Hardy remained a child of very ordinary size until she was twelve years of age, when she suddenly took to growing with a rapidity that alarmed her friends, and startled all her acquaintances. As she had five sisters, one of whom was older than herself, all of whom were rather below than above the common stature of the sex, her growth was the more surprising. At thirteen, Miss Hardy was tall, At fourteen, she was a novelty. At SUPPL fifteen, she was a wonder. She increased in this extraordinary manner until she attained her twenty- first year, when she remained stationary for about four years. During this period of rapid growth, it was impossible to make her clothing fit her with anything like common accuracy. She seemed to alter each day. She probably altered each week. The dress that became her one month, was, therefore, useless the next ; and thus, for nine years, it was necessary to make all her apparel with superfluous tucks and folds, in order to accommodate them to her condition. One effect of this elongating process was, of course, con- stant ill health. She was excessively thin, and could not, under the circumstances, become any stouter. She was so weak as to be almost unable to stand. Her bones could not strengthen in substance suf- ficiently fast for their continued expansion, and so grew painfully brittle. In attempting to walk, there- fore, one day, she fell to the ground and fractured her leg seriously. Nature, however, in the celerity of her physical developments, soon remedied the evil, and thus the cause subsequently aided in the cure. Miss Hardy is now thirty years of age. She has grown about seven inches since she was twenty-one, and is nearly eight feet high at the present moment. She weighs three hundred and forty-six pounds, is mas- sively proportioned, robust, matronly in appearance, symmetrical in figure, but inclined to stoop, (as most tall people are) a habit acquired in her native village, where her gigantic height subjected her to a scrutiny on the part of strangers, most annoying to her bashful nature. Her features are large. The expression of her face, if not handsome, is amiable ; her disposition is mild and gentle, to a pleasing degree, Her voice is somewhat coarse, but not unmusical. Her move- ments are easy and graceful; although, having never before left her village home, she is as yet unso- phisticated in fashionable ways, and moves and acts with a timidity that a little more acquaintance with public life will readily remove. She is certainly one of the most wonderful natural phenomena of the age."

Commons Enclosure (No. 2) bill, also passed through com- mittee. STAGE CAIIEIAGES AND BUILDING SOCIETIES.—The report of the resolutions agreed to in committee were brought up. The first reduced the mileage duty to ld., and the sup- plemental license to ls. ; the second authorised the stamping of paper for the covers or envelopes of letters ; the third re- lated to stamps on orders for the payment of prize or bounty money ; and the fourth was as follows :—" That no exemption from stamp duty contained in or granted by any act relating to friendly societies, nor any other exemption from stamp duty than such as is contained in section 8 of the act 6th and 7th of Wm. IV., chap. 32, for the regulation of benefit building societies, shall be deemed to extend to any form of assurance, or any conveyance, mortgage, transfer, agreement, bond, or other instrument made to or on behalf of any benefit building society by any member of such society to whom any sum or sums exceeding in the whole the sum of £240 shall be ad- vanced by such society, except such deeds or instruments as may be made on behalf of a member of such society admitted before the 6th day of July, 1855, in pursuance of engagements made between such member and the said society before that dfitF.', The latter was opposed by several members, but on a division was carried by 67 to 41. The house adjourned at half-past one o'clock. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ATLAIiTIC. BY the United States Mail steam-ship Atlantic, Captain West, which aVrived on Sunday morning, we have intelligence from New York to the 27th ult. The Atlantic brought $BOO,OOO in specie, and 231 passengers, amongst whom were Sir Allan Macnab, Prime Minister of Canada, and family. The United States steam-ship Baltic, hence, arrived out on the 27th ult. The steam-ship Ariel, from Havre, on the 19th ult., had arrived at New York. Thirteen deaths had occurred on board the ship George Hurlbut, from Antwerp to New York, and five on board of the ship Calhoun, hence at that port, all infants. Jermoine Heroes, charged with taking an African boy into the port of New York for the purpose of making a slave of him, had been examined at the United States District Attor- ney's office, and held to bail to answer the charge in twenty thousand dollars. Favourable accounts continue to be received in reference to the growing and ripening crops. The Canada, the first of the Great Western Railway steam- ers, arrived at Oswego, on the 26th ultimo, from Hamilton and Toronto. _ _ The Elmira Republican reports the elopement of a clerical gentleman with the wife of a gentleman residing at Birch Creek, whose hospitality he had shared, and thus abused. The treaty of the United States with Japan hew top„ rati- fied. Commander Adams, of the United States navy, the bearer of the document of ratification, states that the people of Japan express great anxiety for the arrival of American ships. A terrible row had occurred on board of the ship William Stetson, bound from New York to Quebec. The first, second, and third mates, assisted by the cook and steward, attacked the crew, and the crew defended themselves with some effect. Some of the parties jumped overboard, and were with difficulty saved. An officer was despatched from the Mayor's office, for the purpose of arresting the aggressors, but the ship had sailed before his arrival. _ _ Two runaway slaves were discovered on board an English ship, bound from New Orleans to Liverpool, a short time after leaving port, and the captain caused a signal to be hoisted and had the negroes sent back to the city. The work for the next Presidential election had seriously commenced between the three parties who were anxious for the succession. The champion of the American party is George Law, of New York ; the Seward Coalition party, W. H. Seward, of New York ; the Democratic party, Henry A. Wise, of Virginia. The Know-Nothings of Baltimore, Washington, and Easton, Pa., had held large and enthusiastic meetings, and had adopted the Philadelphia platform. Notice had been given in• the lower branch of the New Hampshire Legislature of an intention to introduce a Personal Liberty Bill. The Herald presumes it will be identical with the act nullifying the Fugi- tive Slave Law passed by the Legislature of Massachusetts at its last session. The vote of all the counties on the Prohibitory Liquor Law of Illinois had been received, and showed a majo- rity against the law of 14,060 votes. The Supreme Court of New York, in full bench, had decided .that the New-Haven Railroad Company is bound by the acts of its late agent, Schuyler, and is liable for the fraudulent stock issued by him. Mr. Charles H. Stanley, of the British Consulate of New York, had been arrested, and placed under one thousand dollars bond, to answer a charge of enlisting recruits for the Crimea. CALIFORNIA.—By the arrival at New York of the Star of the West, from San Juan, with $626,306, and the George Law, from Aspinwall, with $1,052,287, we have advices from Cali- fornia to the 2nd June. Those from the interior give glowing descriptions of the country an the general prosperity of the various branches of industry, particularly mining. The cre- ditors and time certificate holders of the late banking house of Page, Bacon and Co., had held several meetings relative to the refusal of Mr. D. Page to make the parties whole who came forward to sustain the house at the time of its first suspension. After some delay, at a meeting on the 29th of May, Mr. C. K. Garrison came forward and pledged his property to the amount of $400,000 in support of the house by way of securing the creditors and staying all further legal proceedings. This pro- position is said to have given general satisfaction. The affairs of Adams and Co. were undergoing investigation in the courts, and it had been decided that bankers were not entitled to the benefit of the insolvent law. TIER PA.CIFIC.—The L'Echo du Pacifigue estimates the strength of the allied forces in the Indian and Chinese seas at not less than fifteen sailing vessels and steamers, of which four are fifty gun frigates ; and hopes to recount in the course Of three months the happy result of the Pacific campaign, for the success of which prompt and skilful dispositions have been made. From the South Pacific the dates are :—Valpa- raiso, Dicey 14 ; and Callao, May 24. The Executive had i,sued two important decrees relative to the manning of merchantmen with foreign and Chilian sailors. Quiet reigned at Copiapo. In Peru people were rather opposed to the idea of a general toleration of religion. The ministerial party had triumphed at the elections, and general Castilla was likely to be declared President. The Valparaiso market had slightly improved. Maxico.—The almost universal spread of an organised rebellion against Santa Anna's authority is reported. The city of Monterey had surrended to the insurgents, and General Cardona, its commander, with his men, had been taken prisoners of war. General Antonio Jaureguin had been invested with chief power by the victors, and he immediately marched on Saltilio. The whole of Coahuila was enwrapped in the flame of insurrection, and the troops stationed at Tamaulipas had revolted. Santa Anna's forces were being concentrated at Carmargo, on the Rio Grande, in order to keep the communication with Matamoras open, but his power was evidently on the decline. Matamoras and all the country of Tamaulipas were declared in a state of siege. The crops on the Rio Grande look well. CENTRAL Astraxce.—The Executive of New Granada had ceded the island of Manzanilla to the railroad company. Mr. Tracy, head carpenter employed in repairing the steamship Golden Age, had been murdered at Tobago, by three negroes, who were summarily executed by the populace. This vessel had made a trial-trip since her accident which was satisfactory. Advices from Granada report that the St. Mary's had been ordered to Rsalejo, in order to prevent the landing of Colonel Walker. Colonel Kinney was looked for hourly. By way of New Granada we learn that, notwithstanding the Government blockade of the steamer United States on the East River, six hundred of Colonel Kinney's colonists left New York on the 19th of May for San Juan del Norte. It is reported as likely that they have already effected a junction with three hundred sympathisers from California, after a march to the interior of Nicaragua. Advices from Curacoa, in Venezuela, state that the Mona- gas dynasty was in a critical position, and likely to break down soon. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, June 26th. MONEY continued very abundant and easy of access, at the low rates current for some time past. In exchange bills on Europe were on the increase, and the market assumed a down- ward tendency. We quote London, lost to not- ; Paris, 5.12 to 5.16 ; Amsterdam, 414 to 41} ; Hamburg, 384 to 361 ; Bremen, 79} to 791. COTTON.—The market (says the New York Shipping List, of June 27) had been very quiet, all parties being desirous of receiving later advices before operating to any extent. The sales had been of a trifling character, consisting of supplies in the hands of weak parties, who were forced to yield a decline in order,to realise. The few transactions that had taken place had reduced prices fully -lc. The late rains at the south had not increased the southern rivers sufficiently to realise any quantity of cotton from the interior, and it is now certain that a large amount will be unavailable until next season. STATEMENT OF RECEIPTS, EXPORTS, AND STOCKS OF COTTON. Exports to Total Exports Stock in Receipts. Gt. Britain. to For. Ports.

The better qualities were less plentiful though firmer; yet prices were slightly depreciated. Wheat was inactive. Corn was active, and the sales in the aggregate were estimated at 90,000 to 100,000 bushels Western mixed, including small lots, sold early in the morning at 1012 c. to 102 c. in prime shipping order. The market then fell off, and the great bulk sold at 99c. to 101 c., with some parcels of inferior at 98c. Western yellow was reported sold in small lots at 102 c. PROvrsioNs.—The market for old mess pork had advanced 25c., and prime 371 c. to 621 c., with a good inquiry, part spe- culative, the market closing firm. The market for beef con- tinued buoyant, and the tendency of prices was upward. Prime mess beef remained inactive, and prices were entirely nominal. Bacon was scarce and firm, with a moderate export demand. Lard in fair request, and the market c. better. Butter plenty and dull. Cheese remained dull. IRON.—The market was without change ; steady and firm for pig and bar, with sales of 600 tons Scotch pig at $2B to $28,50, cash. English refined bars, $6O ; common, $54,75 to $55, six months. SALT.—SaIt continued in good demand at the recent im- proved rates, and the sales noted include all afloat, and two cargoes of St. Jibes, from store ; they embrace six invoices bulk salt, including 2,750 sacks Liverpool fine, and 6,000 to 7,000 ditto, ground and fine, to arrive. FOREIGN MANUFACTURED GOODS.—This branch of trade remains as at our last report, without apparent activity. Some new goods are received, but as yet the prospect of effect- ing sales is so poor, that the importers withhold the exhibition of samples. CoAL.—The market was without change. 120 tons of in- ferior Liverpool brought $6, 4 mos. FREIGIITS.—Freights were rather dull.

MODERN INTELLIGENCE. It is quite amusing to read, as we do, every now and then, a paragraph in newspapers, exemplifying ignorance and super- stition, by an anecdote of some poor dupe, in a far country village, victimised by a fortune-teller ; the writer forgetting that in the metropolis, in which he writes, " ignorance and superstition," even of the same kind, may be found, or may have been lately, among those who are classed the prudent, the educated, the wealthy. The poor almanac-makers were innocent if compared with spirit-rappers and mesmeric for- tune-tellers. Cagliostro grew rich at court, and among the great Cagliostros still exist under other names. Whoever will have the impudence to assert boldly, and trick it cleverly, that he has direct intercourse with the world of spirits, will not lack believers, followers, nor almost worshippers. In an article headed " Modern Light Literature— Theology. The Broad Church," the writer, in a style of irony and indignation, exposes the absurd reasoning and dangerous doctrines propounded by the Rev. Frederic Denison Maurice, chaplain of Lincoln's Inn. After a romantic story, entitled " Vernier," poetically told by Edwin Arnold, we have a continuation of " The Story of the Campaign, written in a Tent in the Cri- mea," an extract from which we gave last week. " Two Years of the Condemned Cabinet" is one of those mas- terly political essays for which Blackwood's Magazine has long been justly celebrated ; and the concluding article, headed " Administrative Reform—the Civil Service," contains some judicious observations on a subject which has lately excited a more than ordinary share of public attention. Blackstone' s Commentaries, systematically abridged and adapted to the Existing State of the Law and Constitution, with great additions. By Samuel Warren, D.C.L., F.R.S., Q.C., London: W. Maxwell. That the author of this comprehensive and well- systematised work is a voluminous writer as well as a great and deserved public favourite in the world of literature, is a fact too patent to require corroboration ; it has been long admitted, and is as much rejoiced in by an admiring circle of votaries almost co-extensive with the reading public. How he has Ibiind tibm sQ , amply to explore, so fully to illustrate the recesses of the moral and intellectual world as he has done, while engrossed with the cares and burdened with the duties of a laborious profession, has been a puzzle to those who look only to results, without troubling themselves to inquire as to the vigour of intellect, the indomitable will, and the assiduity of purpose, which are at all times, and under all circumstances, characteristic of the master mind. Those who, like ourselves, have watched narrowly the career of Mr. Warren, will rea- dily have perceived a growing maturation of intellect as his progress has been onward in the paths of lite- rature, and upward on the road to fame. His earlier efforts were marked by liveliness of fancy, keen discri- mination, varied yet powerful delineation, a taste almost fastidious in its refinement, and an inexhausti- ble fund of correct and generous feeling. As he pro- ceeded on his journey, his tread became more free, his air more commanding,his self-reliance emboldened and expanded. Judgment, with sedate consideration, now followed 'on his footsteps, and the severity of her counsels conferred a graceful dignity on his achieve- ments. His writings have lately been attuned to a grander and more solemn harmony than was their early wont, and, guided by the lamp of Christian faith and hope, he has ranged through many of the more intricate rounds of philosophic speculation ; while he has, from time to time, given sonorous exposition to difficulties which embrace many of the recondite prin- ciples on which his own profession is based. In each of these progressive steps, the calmly meditative mind has been more and more clearly defined ; the sharpened and comprehensive judgment more revealed. Every step, indeed, has indicated the ceaseless diligence of an acute and anxious intellect bent upon exploring and unfolding the hidden stores of knowledge. On a recent occasion we embraced the opportunity of glancing slightly at his forensic skill, as that was evinced in the felicity he displayed in analyzing evi- dence, and out of that rearing up a fabric of massive strength and symmetric beauty—or, by its aid, rend- ing the mask from villany and laying bare pretension. In that instance he presented to our view the cautious, painstaking, and dexterous unraveller of plots and factions—the ready detector of the slightest deceit— the able expositor of truth, however overlaid—the persuasive pleader for the beauty • and strength of virtue and of truth—the skilful demonstrator of a case as that is to be judged according to the action of our law. He now comes before us as the occupant of a higher sphere. In the work whose title stands at the head of these remarks, he challenges the observation of his country as an expositor of those principles of law and justice on which hang not merely the rights and im- munities of individuals, but on which, in fact, depend the safety of the state, the well-being and existence of the commonweal. The self-imposed task is one of vast importance—the position it implies is one of great dignity ; it is also one involving deep responsi- bility, and of this latter fact Mr. Warren feels evi- dently the full and impressive weight ; but, having felt the weight of the responsibility, he has not been deterred from undertaking it, 'though the sense of its importance has obviously stimulated him to arduous preparation. He tells us the work is the result of twenty years' unremitted labour, often rendered par- tially nugatory by the changes which from day to day the legislature has wrought upon the law, while his labours were in progress. Still, he has manfully addressed himself to the Sisyphean duty, and has suc- cessfully attained the object of his ambition. Deeply impressed with the solemn majesty of his coveted position, Mr. Warren feels that " the contemplation

THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL. LAST WEEK we *were enabled to lay before our readers a sketch of the leading events which,charac- terised the unsuccessful attacks made upon the Malakhoff and Redan. Since then, further details have been communicated by the correspondents of the London daily journals, which, although throwing additional light on the various movements of the two attacking parties, do not in any degree invalidate, or even materially, modify the account already given. On all hands it seems agreed that the attack, though preconcerted and deliberately agreed on, was prema- turely carried into effect, the result it is said ,of a mis- take on the part of the Fren ch general second in command . When made, the assault seems to have beeneenducted with all the heroism which might have been expected from the gallantry of the troops who made it ; but it appears also that they were ill, or rather not at all supported. From some cause or other, the reserve!' were not brought up, which, under all the circmn't stances of the case, is less to be regretted, as they could not have rendered very effective aid in the assault, and, without being able to afford succour to their comrades, would have only presented a wider target for the artillery of the enemy. Who was to blame for the sad mishap, it is no easy matter to determine. In a despatch, dated June 22d, General PELISSIER, after giving a minute account of his pre- parations for the attack, says :--- I selected the Lancaster Battery for my post, from which I was to give the signal by star rockets for the general advance. Notwithstanding great difficulties of ground, notwithstanding the obstacles accumulated by the enemy, and although the Russians, evidently informed of our plans, were on their guard and ready to repel an attack, I am inclined to think that if the attack could have been general and instantaneous on the whole extent of the line—if there had been a simultaneous action and ensemble in the efforts of our brave troops—the object would have been achieved. Unhappily, it was not so, and an incon- ceivable fatality caused us to fail. I was still at more than 1,000 metres from the place whence I was to give the signal when a violent fire of musketry, intermixed with grape, ap- prized me that the combat had commenced seriously on the right. In fact, a little before 3 a.m., General Mayran fancied he recognized my signal in a shell with a blazing fuse sent up from the Brancion Redoubt. It was in vain that he was in- formed of his mistake. This brave and unfortunate General gave the order for the attack. The Saurin and De Failly columns immediately rushed forward ; the first rush was mag- nificent, but scarcely were these heads of columns in march when a shower of balls and grape was poured in upon them. This crushing fire came not only from the works which we wished to carry, but also from the enemy's steamers, which came up at full steam and manoeuvred with great skill and effect. We, however, caused them some damage. This pro- digious fire stopped the efforts of our troops. It became im- possible for our soldiers to advance, but not a man retired one step; it was at this moment that General Mayran, already hit in two places, was knocked down by a grapeshot, and was compelled to resign the command of his division. All this was the work of a moment, and General Mayran was already carried off the field of battle when I sent up the signal from the Lan- caster Battery. The other troops then advanced to support the premature movement of the right division. That valiant divi- sion, disconcerted by the loss of its general, promptly rallied at the voice of General de Failly. The troops engaged, sup- ported by the 2nd battalion of the 95th of the line and by a battalion of the Voltigeurs of the Guard, under the orders of the brave Colonel Boudville, held a footing in a bend of the ground where the general placed them, and boldly maintained there position there. Informed, however, of this position, which might become critical, I ordered General Regnault de St. Jean d'Angely to send four battalions of the Voltigeurs of the Guard, taken from the general reserve, to the support of that division. Generals Mellinet and Uhrich marched with that fine body of men, rallied the stragglers in the ravine of Careening Bay, and gave a solid support to General de Failly, by occupying the bottom of the ravine. The attack on the centre had not a better fate. General Brunet had not yet completed all his arrangements when the signal rockets were fired. The whole of the right was already prematurely engaged for more than twenty to twenty-five minutes. The troops, nevertheless, resolutely advanced, but their valour was no avail against the well-sustained fire of the Russians, and against unforeseen obstacles. At the very outset Gen. Brunet fell mortally. wounded by a ball in the chest. The flag of the 91st was cut in two by a ball. but it is needless to add that its fragments were brought back by that gallant regiment. To criticise the dispositions intended, but which were not carried out, would be an idle task ; to indulge in idle lamentations over the mischances to which accidental misrepresentation led, would not be much more to the purpose ; but pointed illustration of the statement is essential to vindicate the memory of Lord Raglan, whose share in the transaction has been severely criticised, by parties who have seemingly had but small means of knowing the real state of affairs. The English Commander-in-chief, seeing the columns of his allies engaged in the assault, and suffering under the destructive fire of Russian missiles, had no alter- native but to carry his portion of the agreed-upon arrangements into execution, so far as that was pos- sible, in order to afford them the chance of success or even the hope of safety. This he did, so far as the means within his reach enabled him to do. That the operation was not successful was not his fault, and its failure cannot, with justice, be imputed to him. The details of the unfortunate affair are so invested with a melancholy interest, that, even at the risk of repeti- tion, we give the following from the special corres- pondent of the Daily _News, who thus accounts for the failure of the attack :--- According to report, the plan originally agreed upon be- tween the allied commanders was that the fire of the batteries should open at daylight, more especially against the intended points of attack, and that after three or four hours' bombard- ment—after a sufficient effect had been produced upon the enemy's works, and all his spare troops had been removed to a distance from the immediate scene of action—the assault should be suddenly, at a!given signal, instituted. At a late hour, however, in the evening of the 17th instant, General Pelimier sent to Lord Raglan to say that reasons of a very urgent nature would compel him to assault at daylight, and that he trusted that the British troops would be ready to do the same on their side. This was assented to, it being under- stood that the Redan was not to be attacked by the English until the Malakoff hill had been gained by the French. Two reasons are put forward to account for this change of plan. One is, that they would necessarily be exposed to the enemy from want of sufficient cover in the trenches and works about the Mamelon Vert; the other, that General :Pelissier had received notice of an intended attack on the part of the Rus- sians.and that he was anxious to anticipate it. The alteration alluded to was not generally known in camp. When, therefore, the musketry fire opened just at-break of day in front of the Mamelon, it was attributed to a sortie from the Russians; and when the French were seen going up towards the Mala- koff works, it was supposed that, having repulsed the sortie, they were induced to follow up the advantage and carry on the attack in turn against the Russian bulwarks in front. Such was the opinion among the French troops, who were, equally with the English, under the impression that the as- sault was not intended to be made till seven or eight o'clock. The preliminary bombardment was set aside. The above it will be seen does not exactly tally with the French commander's statement ; yet it corrobo- rates the fact of the original agreement between him and Lord Raglan. The severity of the cannonade ] and bombardment of the rith may in some degree be judged of from the annexed account given of it by an aide-de-camp of Prince Gortschakoff, which appears in the Invalide Busse : The enemy having resolved to make a decisive attack on our left flank, opened on the 6th (17th) of June, at 3 30 a.m., a " fire of hell" against the fortifications of the Karabelnaia Faubourg (sections 3 and 4.) For two consecutive hours all their batteries fired almost uninterrupted broadsides. On our side we kept up a quick fire in return. At two in the after- noon, at a given signal, the besiegers opened a heavy fire against our right Lank ; the fire, which was now opened along the whole line of our defences, lasted till an advanced hour of the evening. At dusk and throughout the night the enemy threw shells and rockets into the town, into the roadstead, and the north side. A steam-frigate, which had left the allied fleet at the same time, fired broadsides into the roadstead and against the town. The greater portion of its projectiles fell into the sea without touching our ships. This terrible can- nonade and incessant bombardment did not prevent the brave defenders of Sebastopol from actively repairing the damage done to the works ; despite a terrible front and flank fire, the works were successfully completed, the guns which had been dismantled replaced by new ones on every point, and on the morning of the 6th (18th) of June, we were perfectly prepared to receive and drive back the enemy. Writing from the camp before Sebastopol on the 20th of June, the correspondent of the Times says : It is but natural that the attack of the Allies on the prin- cipal points of the Russian defences should now be scrutinized in all its details, and, as it has failed, that the plan of that attack should be severely criticized and unsparingly censured. It is certainly true that, in some respects, these details were imperfect. As an example of this imperfection, it is stated that the supports were too distant from the attacking parties ; that proper care was not taken to prevent the men becoming confused and losing their way in the labyrinth of works before the Redan ; that no steps were formed above the berm of the parapet so that the men could step over in order; that the at- tacking parties were too weak, and that the men were crowded into narrow works and trenches which could not afford them cover, and were difficult of access and exit. It is, moreover, affirmed that no proper instructions were given to the artillery for their guidance in the event of success or defeat, and that it was only when the Russians had crowded over their para- pets and through their embrasures, and had been shooting down our men for some time on their retreat, that an artillery officer obtained permission from Lord Raglan to open fire upon their lines ; that no directions were addressed even to the am- bulance corps with respect to locality or action, and that many minor points of some importance were also neglected. We never searched out the strength of the Redan on that morning, and the Russians might have—for all we knew and know—replaced every injured gun, and have had the battery in as good order as when we opened fire. We were certain of success. Sir George Brown, inflated by the bloodless conquest of Kertch and Yenikale, directed the operations as if the gar- rison of Sebastopol were a body of serf-militia. It does not appear why there was no attack on the Russian works on our left. One would certainly have thought that even a feint by the French against the Flagstaff Batteries would have been Sir attended with advantage. George Brown had the direction of the assault. The 1,750 men in each instance were formed of 400 men for the assaulting column, a working party of 400 men to cover them in case of a lodgment, and to reverse the support, and 100 riflemen or sharp- work, 600 men as a shooters preceding the head of the assaulting column to keep down the fire of the batteries and of the enemy's Chasseurs, and 50 men carrying woolpacks to bridge over the ditches. e To these were added sixty sailors, bearingsaling-ladders. The Light Division column was to attack the right of the Redan at the re-entering angle ; the Second Division column was to attack the apes-of. to Redan as soon as the Light Divisiat and Fourth Division had carried the work at the flanks ; the Third Division was to assault the Cemetery and the Barrack Batteries ; the Fourth Division column was to assail the left flank of the Redan at the re-entering angle. The Second Div- ision were only to attack the apex after the Light Division and Fourth Division had gained the flanks, and effected a junction along the base of the works, when they were to prevent the con- sequences of forcing a strong body of theenemy from the flanks into the angle of the Redan. The attacking column of the Light Division was furnished by the 7th Fusfleers,:23rd Welsh, 33rd (Duke of Wellington's) Regiment, and 34th Regiment. The storming party was led by Col. Yea,of the7th. The 19th 77th, and Bth' Regiments, or the Second Brigade, were in re- serve, under Col. Shirley. Soon after twelve o'clock they moved down from camp and took ground in the trenches under the direction of Major Halliwell, Deputy Assistant-Quarter- master-General-of the division. The Second division was -on their left, the Fourth division on the left of the Second Divi- sion, and the Third Division on the extreme left. The move- ment was simultaneous, and the troops moved off together till they came into the trenches, from which they were to issue forth to attack -the dark wall of earth serrated with embra- sures before them. These embrasures were only two well filled. The fire which we opened on Sunday morning, preli- minary to the assault, was marked by great energy, weight, and destructiveness. In the first relief the Quarry Battery, commanded by Major Strange, threw no less than 300 8-inch shells into the ,Redan, which is only 400 yards distant, and the place must have been nearly cleared by the incessant storm of iron splinters-which flew through it. So near are the works that fragments of our 13-inch shells fly back from the Readan into the Quarry Battery, and on some occasions our men have been injured by the splinters of their own shells, which have radiated from the inside of the Russian batteries. Through- out Sunday our artillery fired 12,000 rounds of the hea- viest ordnance into the enemy's lines, and on the following day we fired 11,946 rounds of shot and shell. The Russian fire was weak and wild. Although they fired a good deal, they kept many pieces masked, and one six-gun and one eight- gun battery on the flanks of the Redau were silent, and were left comparatively unnoticed by our artillerymen. The only damage they did by all their fire throughout the whole of Sunday was the demolition of the wheel of a gun carriage. Had the three hours' cannonade and bombardment which Lord Raglan decided on administering to the Russian batte- ries before we assaulted been delivered to them, it is very pro- bable that we should have found but a small body of troops prepared to receive us at the parapets ; and it must be esteemed a very unfortunate circumstance that his lordship was induced to abandon his intention in deference to the wishes of General Pelissier. As the 34th Regiment advanced, the supports, by some means or another, got mixed together with them, and some confusion arose in consequence. On crossing the trench, our men, instead of .coming upon the open space in a firm body, were broken into twos and threes. This arose from the want of a temporary step above the berm, which would have enabled the troops to cross the parapet with regularity; in- stead of which they had to scramble over it as well as they could ; and, as the top of the trench is of unequal height and form, their line was quite broken. The moment they came out from the trench the enemy began to direct on their whole front a deliberate and well-aimed mitraille, which increased the want of orderand unstearliness caused by the mode of their advance. Poor Colonel Yea saw the consequences too clearly. The gallant old soldier, by voice and gesture, tried to form and compose his men, but the thunder of the enemy's guns close at hand and the gloom of early dawn frustrated his efforts ; and, as he rushed along the troubled mass of troops which were herding together under the rush of grape, and endeavoured to get them into order for a rush at the batteries, which was better than standing still, or retreating in a panic, a charge of the deadly missile passed, and the noble soldier fell dead in advance of his men, struck at once in the head and stomach by grape shot. The division has lost upwards of 320 men killed and wounded, and it suffered severely as it re- tired from the futile attack. The signal for our assault was to r be given by the discharge of two service rockets, which were to have been fired when the French got into the Malakhoff, and the latter were to have hoisted a flag as a signal of their success. It is certain that the French did for a short time establish themselves in the Malakhoff, but they were soon expelled with loss, and I saw with my own eyes a large triangular blue and black flag waving from the Malakhoff all during the fight. The moment the rockets were fired, the Light Division rushed out of cover ; in a quarter of an hour this infantry Balaklava was over, so far as any chance of suc- cess was concerned. The Second Division, seeing that the flank attacks failed, wisely kept under cover, and suffered but a tri- fling loss. Had they foolishly advanced, we should have to de- plore greater and more useless slaughter. Poor Sir John Camp- bell seems to have displayed a courage amounting to rash- ness. He sent away Captain Hume and Captain Snodgrass, his aid-de-camp, just before he rushed out of the trench, as if averse to bring them into the danger he meditated, and fell in the act of cheering on his men. SUCCESS OF THE ATTACK ON THE CEME- TERY AND BARRACK BATTERIES. The brigade under Major-General Eyre, which was destined to occupy the Cemetery and to carry the Barrack Batteries, consisted of the 9th Regiment, 18th Regiment, 28th Regiment, 38th Regiment, and 44th Regiment. Four volunteers from each company were selected to form an advance party, under Major Fielden, of the 44th Regiment, to feel the way and cover the advance. The 18th Royal Irish followed as the storming regiment. The brigade was turned out at 12 o'clock and proceeded to march down the road on the left of the Greenhill Battery to the Cemetery, and halted under cover while the necessary dispositions were being made for the attack. General Eyre, addressing the 18th, said, " I hope, my men, that this morning you will do something that will make every cabin in Ireland ring again !" The reply was a loud cheer, which instantly drew on the men a shower of grape. The skirmishers advanced just as the general atttack began, and, with some French on their left, rushed at the Cemetery, which was very feebly defended. They got pos- session of the place after a slight resistance, with small loss, and took some prisoners, but the moment the enemy retreated their batteries opened a heavy fire on the place from the left of the Redan and from the Barrack Battery. Four companies of the 18th at once rushed on out of the Cemetery towards the town, and actually succeeded in getting possession of the suburb. Captain Hayman was gallantly leading on his com- pany when he was shot through the knee. Captain Esmonde followed, and the men, once established, prepared to defend the houses they occupied. As they drove the Russians out, they were pelted with large stones by the latter on their way up to the battery, which quite overhangs the suburb. The Russians could not depress their guns sufficiently to fire down on our men, but they directed a severe flanking fire on them from an angle of the Redan works. Meantime the Russians did their utmost to blow down the houses with shell and shot, and fired grape incessantly, but the soldiers kept close, though they lost men occasionally, and they were most materially aided by the fire of the regiments in the Cemetery behind them, which was directed at the Russian embrasures; so that the enemy could not get out to fire down on the houses below. Some of the houses were comfortably furnished. One of them was as well fitted up as most English mansions, the rooms full of fine furniture, a piano in the drawing-room, and articles of luxury and taste not deficient. Our men unfortunately found that the cellars were not empty, and that there was abundance of fine muscat wine from the south coast of the Crimea, and of the stronger wines, perfumed with roses and mixed with fruits, which are grown in the interior, in the better sort of houses. Some of the officers, when they went away, carried off articles of clothing and papers as proofs of their entrance into the place, and some others took away pigeons and Guinea pigs, which were tame in the houses. The troops entered the place about four o'clock in the morning, and could not leave it until nine o'clock in the evening. The Russians blew up many of the houses and set fire to others, and when our men retired the flames were spreading rapidly along the street. The 18th Regiment lost 250 men. In the middle of the day Captain Esmonde wrote to General Eyre to say that he required support, that the men were short of ammu- nition, and that the rifles were clogged. A sergeant volun- teered to creep back with this letter, but when he reached the place where the general ought to have been, he found that the latter had been obliged to withdraw owing to his wound, and he therefore delivered the document to Colonel Edwardes. As there was no possibility of gettinr, support down to the troops, Colonel Edwardes crept down along with the sergeant and got into the houses to see how matters were going on. The officer in command, on learning the state of the case, or- dered the men to keep up the hottest fire they could ; and meantime they picked up the rifles and ammunition of the killed and wounded, and were'by that means enabled to con- tinue their fusilade. The 9th Regiment succeeding in effect- ing a lodgment in the houses in two or three different places, and held their position, as well as the 18th. A sergeant and a handful of men actually got possesion of the little Wasp Battery, in which there were only twelve or fourteen Russian artillerymen. They fled at the approach of our men, but when the latter turned round they discovered they were quite unsupported ; and the Russians, seeing that the poor fellows were left alone, came down on them and drove them out of the battery. An officer and half-a-dozen men of the same regi- ment got up close to a part of the Flagstaff Battery, and were advancing into it when they, too, saw that they were by themselves, and, as it was futile to attempt holding their ground, they retreated. About 15 French isoldiers on their left aided them, but as they were likewise unsupported they had to retire. Another officer with only 12 men took one of the Russian Rifle Pits, bayonetted those they found in it, and held possession of it throughout the day. Meantime, while these portions of the sth and 18th and parties of the 44th and 28th were in the houses, the detachments of the same regi- ments and of the 38th kept up a hot fire from the Cemetery on the Russians in the battery and on the sharpshooters, all the time being exposed to a tremendous shower of bullets, grape, round shot, and shell. The loss of the brigade, under such circumstances, could not but be extremely severe. One part of it, separated from the other, was exposed to a destruc- tive fire in houses, the upper portion of which crumbled into pieces or fell in under fire, and it was only by keeping in the lower story, which was vaulted and well built, that they were enabled to hold their own. The other parts of it, far ad- vanced from our batteries, were almost unprotected, and were under a constant mitraille and bombardment from guns which our batteries had failed to touch. Captain Smith, of the 9th, was struck by a grapeshot in the back as he was in the act of getting Captain Armstrong, of the 18th, into a litter with the assistance of Captain Gaynor. The shot broke his spine and drove his ribs into his lungs. He has sinee died.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD ' burgh, as a clerk, at a very small salary. In the exercise of this calling, he contrived to acquire a knowledge of the German and Italian languages, from refugees, as poor as he was himself, teaching them in exchange such English as he had himself acquired. In addition to these he made himself master of the Classics, and so early as 1810 obtained employment as a Par- liamentary Reporter on the Morning Chronicle. About this time he translated some German and Italian treatises, on poli- tical economy, and one or two other trifles. He became editor of the journal named about 1819, and continued in that responsible office till 1845, when he retired from public life. As a political writer, he was much more remarkable for the energy than for the elegance of his style ; but, full of carefully acquired knowledge, he at all times brought that readily to bear upon any topic he had under discussion. This gave him no inconsiderable advantage in many points, and the facility with which he could exercise it procured for him the violent antipathy of COBBETT, whose vituperation of Mr. BLACK and the Scotch feelosophers was not less virulent than it was ab- surd. In private life he was a man of strict integrity, of genial and kindly disposition, and was generally esteemed by those who knew him. Mr. BIICKINGUAM'S career was more chequered, and in many respects more marked than that of Mr. BLACK. At an early period of his life, Mr. BErCKINGHAM was involved in a literary squabble with some of the leading officials of the East India Company, in India. which gave a colour of dissatisfaction and an air of unrest to the whole of his after life. Defeated as a journalist in India, he travelled over a great portion of the Asiatic and American Continents, and published voluminous journals of his travels. Subse- quently he became connected with the English periodical press, and assumed the position of a public lecturer. In 1832 he was elected M.P. for Sheffield, and sat for that borough till 1837. The House of Commons, however, was no field for his erratic and egotistical oratory, and he made no figure there. Latterly his name was but little before the public. PE:YEFIT BUILDING SOCIETIES.

Mr. Wilson, of the Treasurz thought proper to make the Benefit Building Societies the objects of his attack in- the shape of a "proviso' to a.clause of the-Friendly Societies' Con- solidation Bill, which subject is not in any way connected with Building Societies, and which prcviso, if passed, would have deprived such latter societies of tire' exemption from Stamp cinUea, enjoyed by them' under the Benefit Building Society Act- of 1836. Immediately on learning of this- attack upon them, the Liverpool Building Societies. joined. together, and formed a Generals Committee, which by the promptitude and energy of its proceedings, and the cordial co-operation of our member, Thoutas4Bi Horsfall, Esq., and our local nobles; succeeded in defeating;the measure in the-House of Lords on Tuesday last, by 47.votetin our favour, to-43 votes against us.

Under the, laead of holding* rented at less .than £2O, the number of occupants amounts to 26,086 i the number of arable acne. to 160,438, the cattle to 103,771, the horses to 24735 e the sheep to 141,561, and, the swine to 17,481.

A separate return for Orkney gives the total number of imperial acres, at 41,8441,. of- which about 13,517 are •he tillage, (only fit under wheat, crop,) and about 17,058. in grass, including 5;865 acres of sheep walks.

The average produce-of wheat par acre is 24 bushels, of barley 39, and of oats 36 bushels. Owing to the number of petty occupiers to be dealt with, almost equalling that of the tenantry of the county, and the difficulty of finding the proper persons from whom to obtain information, the preparation of these returns. has entailed a great amount of time and labour ; but it is. stated by Mr. Maxwell (who reports on the part of the High- land Society) that the public lies under a great obligation, not only to the farmers officially engaged in conducting the in- quiry, but to the many proprietors, agents, factors, poor inspectors, and others, through whose assistance the returns hare been compiled. Every precaution has been taken to wake them as accurate as possible. LONDON oN SUNDAY.—The Rev, Thomas Hugo, senior curate of St. Botoiph, Bishopsgate, in a letter to The Times, draws tha following picture of a Sunday in Houndsditch "In the heart of London, on every successive Sunday in the year, in various streets, alleys, and courts to the north of Houndsditch, and therefore in my own immediate neighbour- hood, are congregated upwards of 15,000 persons, engaged in traffic of various kinds, and constituting what is called the City Exchange Fair.' The trade is carried on principally in Cutler-street, Phil's-buildings, City Exchange, Exhibition- mart, Harrow Alley, and Petticoat-lane, places notorious in the annals of crime for outrages and abominations of all descriptions. The articles offered for sale consist for the most part of wearing apparel and jewellery, and the fair lasts for the greater portion of the day. I speak from personal obser- vation, and inspection, and hesitate not to characterise the place as one of the very foulest sinks of profligacy and crime to be found within the length and breadth of London. Of the 15,000 individuals there assembled some are Jews of the lowest grade, but the great majority are nominally Christians, uniting together in forming a multitude of the most ignorant, lawless, brutal, and degraded ruffians that the metropolis can furnish. In this vile haunt crimesetre both plotted and per- petrated; for, in a spot at the entrance to Harrow-alley, I was myself informed on the occasion of one of my visits, by one of our excellent police, that of all the males there congregated, of various ages, and to the number of several hundreds, every individual had been a convicted felon. Stolen property is here disposed of to any extent, 'and no questions asked;' and an inducement is thereby held to thieves from every quarter to bring hither the results of their crimes, assured of their imme- diate and safe disposal. I could furnish you with many details of this den of horrors : but I will content myself with affirming that if there be an epithet in the English tongue more descrip- tive than another of a place reeking with blasphemy, clamour, and obscenity, and of a loathsome assemblage stained with every vice named or nameless, that I would select and apply it to this foulest of foul scenes and filthiest of filthy multi- tudes. No man can possibly imagine it who has not visited the place and seen it with his own eyes,"

LIVERPOOL TOWN COUNCIL. ON Wednesday, a monthly and special meeting of the Town Council was held, the Mayor presiding. The first business brought forward was a consideration of the proceedings of the FINANCE COMMITTEE, which embraced a recommendation that Mr. T. M. Anderton be appointed to succeed Mr. Walter as clerk to the magis- trates ; that Mr. Ellis be appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the promotion of Mr. Anderton—the salaries of each to be £l5O per annum. It was also recommended that Mr. D. Brown be promoted to the situation of summons clerk, held by Mr. Ellis, and that the salary of Mr. Brown be £llO per annum ; Mr. Stubbs to be assistant summons clerk, at a salary of £BO per annum, increasing gradually until it reached £lOO. By these arrangements it was stated a saving would be effected in the annual salaries.—On the motion of Mr. HORNET, the proceedings were confirmed, so far as these ap- pointments are concerned.—An irregular discussion on the Dock Bills ensued on the motion for confirming the remainder of the proceedings; but, on the suggestion of the Mayor, it was deferred till the subject could be brought on in the regular course. The proceedings of the Finance Committee were then confirmed.

FASHIONS. SIMPLE lace no longer suffices ; but the rich patterns are profusely embroidered with the needle. Gagelins exhibited a superb court mantle of a new shape, and rounded off at the sides—a very great improvement, that renders the mantle much more convenient to wear. It is white, with white and gold silken embroidery, and trimmed with frizzled white fringe and golden ornaments. The price of this mantle is from fifteen to twenty thousand francs. It is said to be in- tended for the Empress. Debiles also made a costly display of splendid patterns and materials. The Empress is stated to have selected several of these robes. The first was of a black ground of gros de Tours, of a pyramidical pattern, worked in gold flowers in a pyramidical pattern. Next oame a robe called "Cleopatra," of a sky-blue gros de Tours ground, ornamented with three white and gold silk flounces. Next, a robe itoile du Nord, of white silk, completely covered with Indian white silken embroidery ; the robe Stradella, vert celodon ground, with worked arabesques ; and, lastly, the robe Fornarine, of vert choux, with white pattern imitating the point d'Alencons. Among the less costly novelties were the' grenadines, with black, white, sky-blue, and pearl grey ground, ornamented with garlands or bouquets of the most brilliant spring flowers.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD one subject of thought that could interest. All ranks were confounded, all distinctions levelled, all common forms neglected. Gentlemen and servants, lords and common soldiers, British and foreigners were all upon an equality, elbowing each other without ceremony, and addressing each other without apology. Ladies accosted men they had never before seen with eager questions, unhesitatingly; strangers conversed together like friends, and English reserve seemed no longer to exist. From morning till night the great Place de _Mire was completely filled with people, standing under umbrellas, and eagerly watching for news of the battle. So closely packed was this anxious crowd, that when viewed from the hotel windows nothing could be seen but one compact mass of umbrellas. As the day advanced the consternation became greater. The number of terrified fugitives from Brussels, upon whose faces were marked the deepest anxiety and dis- tress, and who thronged in the town on horseback and on foot, increased the general dismay ; while long rows of carriages lined the streets, filled with people who could find no place of shelter.

EXPANSIVE BENEVOLENCE.—The following sentence has been ascribed to Fenelon I love my family better than myself ; my country better than my family ; and mankind better than my country ; for I am more a Frenchman than a Fenelon ; and more a man than a Frenchman." AN ILLITERATE PERSON, who always volunteered to "go round with the hat," but was suspected of sparing his own pocket, overhearing once a hint to that effect, replied, " Other gentlemen puts down what they thinks proper, and so do I: charity's a private concern, and what I gives is nothing to nobody." A LITTLE GIRL, about five years old, heard a ranting preacher praying most lustily, till the roof rang with the strength of his supplication. Turning to her mother, and beckoning the maternal ear down to a speaking place, she whispered, " Mother, don't you think that if he lived nearer to God he wouldn't have to talk so loud ?" OF all the miseries a man can meet in this world, that of a beautiful, capricious, fiery-tempered, fainting wife, is the most to be feared. Don't learn to faint. You are bad enough already ; don't become worse, or you will become a deserted wife as sure as you become a wife at all, unless yon marry an awful spooney. Learn to check your temper. HE that resigns his peace to little casualties, and suffers the course of his life to be interrupted by fortuitous inadverten- cies or offences, delivers up himself to the direction of the wind, and loses all that constancy and equanimity which con- stitute the chief praise of a wise man. MAN is but a rough pebble without the attrition received from contact with the gentler sex. It is wonderful how the ladies pumice a man down into smoothness, who occasion him to roll over and over with the rest of his species, jostling, but not wounding, his neighbours, as the waves of circumstances bring him into collision with them. MODESTY always sits up gracefully on youth; it covers a multitude of faults, and doubles the lustre of every virtue which it seems to hide, the perfections of men being like those flowers which appear more beautiful when their leaves are folded up than when they are full blown, and display them• selves without any reserve to the view. "Do you cast things here ?" inquired a Yankee, as he sauntered into a foundry and addressed the proprietor. " You cast all kinds of things in iron, eh ?" was the next query. " Certainly, don't you see that is our business ?" "Ah ! well cast a shadow, will you ?" He was cast out, and referred to a brass foundry.

AMONGST great numbers of men:who are accounted rich, there are few that really are so.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. WE bare received several inquiries from subscribers as to whether we intend to follow the example of some of our Radical con- temporaries, and publish oftener than once a-week. We may state that we have no such intention, unless, indeed, the disin- terested patriotism of some of our wealthy readers would guarantee us against the heavy loss which would inevitably result from such a course, not only to ourselves, but to our sub- scribers. It may sound very plausible to publish two unstamped papers a-week at the price of one stamped, but the consequence would be a mutual loss ; for while the Standard, with the stamp, which we now sell at 4id., may be transmitted free through the post any number of times for fifteen days, two unstamped papers containing no more news than the one, and costing live- pence, would require a penny additional for each paper every time they were sent by post, 'making a weekly charge of seven- pence to the country subscriber, with an extra charge if he wishes to send his paper to a friend. Indeed, this pretended boon to the public, in the removal of the penny stamp, will be found, like some other legislative boons, to be in reality an additional tax, as shown in the instance of the London Times, which is now charged a halfpenny more for the stamed copy, and then is liable to a postage, unless in folding the stamp be exposed to view; while the unstamped charged at fonrpence is liable to a postage of twopence. A correspondent has remarked that, while there are TWENTY-SIX RADICAL PUBLICATIONS issued each week in Liverpool, there are Only THREE OF CONSERVATIVE POLITICS. That this is no evidence of a corresponding preponderance of political feeling, has been abundantly shown in several contested elections. It is, however, the best proof that could be adduced of the advan- tage of advertising in Conservative papers. We have already given the public the full benefit, and something more, of the change in the law by reducing the price of the Standard, and publishing a gratuitous supplement in addition, and we are sure that a weekly paper of these dimensions is far cheaper to sub- scribers than more frequent publication, with the additional expenses involved in the transmission. While our contempo- raries are engaged in a competition of price, we are content to make quality the test or cheapness, and we are satisfied that our subscribers will have no difficulty in discovering that both objects—quality and cheapness—are more effectually secured by a weekly paper of the dimensions and at the price now charged for the Standard than by more frequent issues, nomi- nally cheaper, but in reality much dearer. THE Eibtrpoof )tanbarb, TUESDAY, JULY 10, 1855. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS. THE business of legislation is now progressing with railroad speed through the House of Commons, as though the members had become wearied with their own long and useless speeches, and were at length desirous of bringing the session to a close. After wasting about six months, in doing what may be called literally nothing, but discussing abstract propo- sitions and impracticable projects, they have at length discovered, that it would be as well to have something to show, as the result of their labours ; and accord- ingly a number of Bills are being hurried through the several stages required by the forms of Parliament, without much regard to their consistency, or even their grammatical construction. This is a vicious system, which is year by year increasing, and for which there appears no adequate remedy, until we have a really strong Government with sufficient moral courage to compel attention to important measures at an earlier period of the session, and firmly resist those repeated adjournments, by which so many Bills are postponed, until deliberation is altogether out of the question. It is, indeed, difficult to tell which course is the most productive of mischievous results, the purposeless discussions of the greater part of the session, or the hasty and careless legislation by which Bills are hurried to maturity at the close. The mem- bers become wearied by long sittings, until at length but few are left to take part in the business, and then Bills which may have a serious influence on the com- munity are passed, and sent up to the Lords, who must either reject them or agree to them as they are, from their utter inability to pay any attention to the details. It is such a course of proceeding which renders necessary so many acts to amend and explain former acts, until the Statute Book becomes a mass of confu- sion, and laws intended to effect one object are decided by learned judges to enact the direct contrary. There was a time, and that not many years since, when Bills sent up from the House of Commons were rendered most efficient, through the care which was bestowed on their construction in the House of Lords : and this was not to be wondered at, considering the many able and experienced lawyers who transacted most of the business of legislation there. All this, however, has been rendered impracticable through the majority of Bills being left to the very end of the Session, so that barely time is afforded for the neces- sary forms to be gone through, without a possibility of deliberation. THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL. THE most interesting topic of discussion lately has been the cause of the failure of the attack on Sebas- topol on the 18th of June. It appears, from all the accounts which have been received---the official de- spatches both of the English and French Generals, and the letters of several correspondents---that, al- though there was much blundering and confusion of arrangements, no especial blame attached to any indi- vidual in particular. There was evidently much anxiety on the part of the Allied troops to comme- morate the anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo by a general rivalry to excel each other in feats of bravery, and to mark the day by a crowning achievement which would realize the long delayed expectations of the capture of Sebastopol. It is not denied that judi- cious arrangements had been made for the accomplish- ment of this object ; but unfortunately the best designs may be irretrievably damaged by an apparently trivial accident. As the various divisions of the attacking army were necessarily out of reach of receiving direct instructions for their operations, it was concerted that the party in advance should be guided by the signal of a discharge of star-rockets ; but, while waiting for this sign, the officer in command observed a shell with a blazing fuse, and, mistaking it for a rocket, gave the order to advance, though contrary to the advice of his staff. There was, no doubt, an enthusiastic desire to be the first ; but, unfortunately, the movement was precipitate, the attacking party were not properly sup- ported, from those intended to support them being too far in the rear. This necessarily created confusion as far as the arrangements of the French were concerned for the assault onlthe Malakhoff Tower ; whilst the English, unwilling that their part of the duty, which was an attack on the Redan, should be unnecessarily delayed, gallantly advanced before the French were in actual possession of the Malakhoff. The result was almost inevitable. The French failed owing to the officer in command mistaking the signal, and thereby anticipating the movement ; and the English failed because the Redan, being commanded by the other fort, their position, however, gallantly acquired, was utterly untenable so long as the guns of the Malakhoff were in possession of the enemy. It is said that the subsequent plan decided upon is to proceed by sap, and that the operations of General PELISSIER for this pur- pose are progressing favourably. Whilst, however, great credit is due to all the parties engaged for the consummate bravery which was displayed, the officers fearlessly leading on their men, as shown by the great disproportion in the lists of killed and wounded, it has been remarked that the probabilities of success would have been enhanced had the operations of the Allies been concentrated on the Malakhoff, although it is also urged that the assault on the Redan was so far useful inasmuch as it served to divert the attention of the Russians. Supposing, however, the Malakhoff to be gained, the conquest of the Redan would be comparatively easy, as it is com- pletely commanded by the guns of the former. In- deed, it is now evident that the Malakhoff is the key to the whole fortress ; and that, whether taken by as- sault or by sap, its possession by the Allies would give them complete command of the town and harbour of Sebastopol. But while the interest of the war is thus in mea- sure centred on this renowned fortress, to the exclusion of almost all other details, it is the opinion of many that the numerous army which has now been collected might be advantageously employed in meeting the enemy in the open field, so as more effectually to com- plete the investment of Sebastopol, and shut out the possibility of further reinforcements or supplies. Should this object be efficiently accomplished, a suc- cessful termination to the long protracted siege cannot be far distant ; and if Sebastopol were once fairly in possession of the Allies, there would be no great diffi- culty in clearing the Crimea of the Russians. It is, of course, not easy to say to what extent Russian obstinacy may proceed rather than give up its long- cherished policy of universal dominion ; but, with the mastery of the Black Sea, the Allies would be in a position to dictate terms of peace even more stringent than those which were rejected at Vienna. THE GOVERNMENT AND THE BUILDING SOCIETIES HOWEVER ready the Government may be to suc- cumb to popular agitation, when it is vigorously pressed, they have not much delicacy- on the subject when the interest to be assailed is weak in everything but the justice of its claim. By an act passed in the 6th and 7th of WILLIAM IV., which was specially intended for the regulation of benefit building socie- ties, they were exempted from stamp duties on trans- fers, mortgages, and all other documents, the object being to encourage the extension of such societies, by way of promoting industrious and prudent habits amongst the middle and humbler classes. Of the wisdom of such a provision, there could hardly be a second opinion ; for there is perhaps no stronger security for the maintenance of loyal feelings and the preservation of order than the possession of real pro- perty, for which the operations of these societies afforded great facilities. Experience had proved that in the majority of instances they had been most suc- cessfully carried out, and the number of them exist- ing in Liverpool, Manchester, and other large towns prove the favour with which they have been received. It was, therefore, with great surprise, not unmixed with feelings of indignation, that it was discovered that an insidious attempt had been made by the government to deprive Building Societies of the advantage which they had so long enjoyed in their freedom from stamp duties—an advantage, indeed, which formed the main ground of their prosperity. In the Friendly Societies Bill, a measure which has no reference whatever to Building Societies, a clause was introduced to deprive the latter societies of their exemption from stamp duties, and, notwithstanding the opposition of several members and the earnest remonstrances of a deputation from the Building Societies of this and other towns, the clause, with some slight modification, was passed through the House of Commons, and the bill was sent up to the House of Lords. There the clause was objected to by Lord RAVENSWORTH, who was met by the plea that it was a breach of the privileges of the Lower House to interfere with any money clause in a bill. This, however, did not deter the Earl of DERBY from opposing such a surreptitious mode of legislation, and when the bill was in committee he moved that the clause be struck out, so as to leave the Building Societies in the same position as they were before, and confine the bill to its ostensible object of dealing with Friendly Societies. Upon a division, the motion was successful, and the Building Societies, grateful to the Earl of DERBY and the peers who voted with him, considered themselves safe from the threatened assault, at least for the present session. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER appears to be unwilling, however, to lose any opportunity of re- cruiting the national finances, when it can be done at the expense of the weak. A demand had been made for a reduction of the duty on stage carriages, because, as it was alleged, the duty affected the breeding of horses for the army. The proposed reduction would sacrifice £50,000 of National Income. but as he had given up tu g,razny a senseless cry about taxes on knowledge, he could not refuse this small boon to omnibus proprietors, particularly when it was backed with the plea that more horses were wanted for HER MAJESTY'S cavalry, though it would be difficult to discover in what way an increase of stage carriages could promote this object. But even this sacrifice of revenue must not be made without some show of obtaining compensation, and, accordingly, a second attempt is made to impose stamp duties on Building Societies, notwithstanding the positive re- jection of the scheme by the House of Lords. In Committee on the Stage-Carriage Duties, some other resolutions relating to stamps were appended to it, and amongst them the rejected clause, which was passed without the members not in the secret being aware of its object ; but on bringing up the report on Friday, the ministers were taxed with the deception, when Mr. WILSON stated that the resolution which limited the exemption to sums not exceeding £240 had been framed in order to carry out an arrangement that he had entered into with a deputation who had conferred with him upon the subject. This is only true in part, for the deputation were opposed to the whole measure; but, finding the Government unwilling to yield, those members of it who represented societies the majority of whose transactions were below £240 agreed to that amount being the limit of exemption as being all their interest in the question. The question has, however, been once decided upon this session and rejected, and if the Government should persist in a course which can only be termed an act of tyranny and oppression, it is to be hoped that the EARL of DERBY and those who voted with him on the former occasion will justify their character for consistency and again reject the obnoxious measure. •

THE MAYNOOTH REPORT. The Earl of WINCILELSEA, after calling attention to the fact that the ecclesiastical titles, prohibited to the Roman Catholic prelates by the emancipation act of 1829, had been used in the report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the management of the College at Maynooth, moved that an amended copy be laid upon the table with the illegal titles omitted. He characterised the use of these titles in such a document asan insult to the Protestant feeling of the country. The Earl of lannownr, as one of the Commissioners, in- sisted that there was nothing illegal in giving these titles;. the illegality was in their assumption. The Commissioners had endeavoured to avoid tampering with the spirit of the act; but- in a country where, from long habit and custom, such titles were in constant use, it was difficult to steer clear of all objections. A discussion followed, in which the Earl of Derby, Earl of Hardwicke, the Lord Chancellor, and Lord Campbell engaged, nearly all of whom recommended the noble Earl to withdraw his motion, as the object of it would have been sufficiently answered by the discussion.. The Earl of Winchelsea eventually withdrew the motion. ACCIDENTS ON RAILWAYS _ On the motion that the Accidents on Railways' Bill be read a third time, The Earl of EGLINTON moved the omission of the clause giving power to the Board of Trade to compel the construc- tion of bridges to prevent lines crossing public roads upon the level. He objected particularly to the retrospective operation of the clause. Lord STANLEY of Alderley supported the clause, and after considerable discussion the house divided— For the clause 3O Against y Majorit for —9. After some further discussion, the bill was read a third time, and passed. The other bills on the table were advanced a stage, and the house adjourned at 8.10 p.m. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY. The house met at four o'clock.. In reply to Colonel SMYTHE, Sir B. HALL stated that it was not his intention to proceed this session, with the Public Health Bill; he should, however, propose to go into committee, pro forma, to-morrow (Tuesday), for the purpose of inserting in it several amendments suggested, and that the bill should be reprinted, and circulated during the recess, previous to its introduction next session. This course would render it necessary to introduce a short bill to continue the General Board of Health, and also to attach a medical officer to the board. Mr. HUGH ADAIR, on behalf of Mr. Shafto Adair, gave notice that, when Mr. Roebuck brought forward his motion, for a vote of censure upon the ministry, he would move the following amendment :—" That this house is of opinion, that the counsels which determined the expedition to the Crimea were consistent with a bold and sagacious policy, just to our allies, and commensurate with the objects of the war—and, further, that perseverance in a similar policy alone can afford hope of securing an honourable and permanent peace." In reply to Mr. Milner Gibson, Lord PAL MERSTON stated that the government had determined to lay upon the table of the house the whole of the correspondence bearing upon the Austrian proposal, to which the right hon. gentleman had already referred. The correspondence was now in preparation, and in the course of a couple of days he hoped to lay it before the house. Sir G. GREY, in reply to a question from Mr. Liddell, said it was a legal question from what quarter compensation should should decline to answer it from his place in parliament. be paid for the damage committed on Sunday, and therefore he The right hon. Baronet, in reply to another question put by Sir J. Pakington, said no orders had been given to withdraw the police from any part of the town on Sunday. In answer to Mr. Crawford, Mr. PEEL stated that the ques- tion of a general exchange of English and French prisoners for Russian was now in the hands of a court, consisting of English and French officers. Lord PALMERSTON, in reply to Captain Scobell, said the only cause of the delay in the institution of the intended new Order of Merit was the necessity for further consideration of the details. Mr. STAFFORD gave notice that, to-morrow, he should ask a question from the head of the government, whether Dr. Andrew Smith had retired ? and whether Dr. Hall still con- tinued at the head of the medical department at the seat of war ? Mr. ROEBUCK gave notice that, to-morrow, he should move a call of the house for the 17th July. (Hear.) . Sir G. GREY, replying to Mr. Adderley, stated that eight or nine persons were arrested during the riotous proceedings on Sunday. _ _ _ Colonel- PENNANT asked whether the occupiers in those parts of the town would be within the law if they associated themselves for the protection of their property, next Sunday, without being sworn as special constables. Sir G. GREY said, that, in the event of government having any reason to apprehend similar disgraceful proceedings next. Sunday to those last Sunday,everyprecaution would be taken to prevent them, and to arrest the offenders, and, in doing so, they would be happy to concur with the inhabitants of the district, and to receive their assistance. ( Hear.) EDUCATION (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the motion for going into committee on the Education ( Scotland) Bill, Mr. E. LOCKHART moved the recommitment of the bill, on the ground that some new clauses which had been pro- posed on Friday had been omitted or altered. The LORD ADVOCATE declined to assent to the motion. A short debate took place upon the question, and the house divided : For the motion . Against it Majority against... ...... ...-65 The house then proceeded to consider the bill as amended, when the Lord Advocate brought up some clauses on one which provided that if any complaint should be made to the School Committee, in regard to the religious or moral teaching of the master, the board should direct every enquiry to be made into the complaint by the School Committee, the inspector, and such other person as the board might appoint. Mr. Blackburn, Mr. Scott, Sir A. Campbell, and others opposed the clause. The house then divided, and the numbers were— For the clause llB Against it... 64 Majority for -54. The clause was consequently added to the bill. Mr. VANSITTAET then moved a clause, to the effect that, no person should be compelled to pay an assessment to a public school who had paid, during the year, a sum equal to such as. sessment to any school supported by voluntary contribution. The SPEAKER, however, decided that, in point of form, this clause could not be moved at this stage of the bill, and it was consequently withdrawn. Lord W. GRAHAM then moved the insertion of words in the first clause, to the effect that, all the members ok the Educational Board should be exclusively Protestants. The LORD ADVOCATE opposed the motion, on the ground that it was inexpedient to introduce such words. The house then divided— For the motion.. Against it Majority against -68

OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND'S AMERICAN SARSAPARILLA.—This is one of the most extraordinary and valuable Medicines in the world. Its superiority over other preparations of like character, made in this country, arises from the mode of manufacture, and the advantage of obtaining and working the root in its green and fresh state. The root, when brought to this country, is dry, vapid, and almost tasteless, its virtues and juices having all evaporated; while it often becomes mouldy, musty, and partially decayed, so that it is quite unfit for use. ENGLISH TESTIMONY. We give a few of the many communications we have received since we have been in England, from those who have experienced the great benefits of using this celebrated medicine. They must have some weight in convincing the public of its great value. 49, Davies-street, Berkeley-square, Sept. 1, 1851. Gentlemen,—l have much pleasure in testifying to the nume- rous thanks I have received from various persons who have taken Old Dr. Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla, many of whom will be happy to give you testimonials should you require them. I aria doubly pleased to be able to speak to the good effects I have seen myself produced by the Sarsaparilla; for I must confess that, although I was not prejudicial, I was rather sceptical as to its virtues, which I would not have believed it possessed, had I not seen it.—l am, your obedient servant, JOHN JAMIESON. Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY AT SEA ABOUT eight o'clock on Friday morning the brig Her Majesty arrived at Queenstown, and cast anchor opposite the barracks. Shortly after her arrival rumours began to spread of a most dreadful tragedy having been enacted on board, and these were confirmed by the fact of a seaman, badly wounded, having been borne to the hospital. Her Majesty is a brig of 221 tons, belonging to Mr. John Rickenson, of Whitby, and sailed from Salonica, a Mediterranean port, about the beginning of May, with a cargo of Indian corn, consigned to London, and bound to Queenstown for orders. Including the captain, Wm. Wright, of Whitby, and the mate, Samuel Cole, the crew amounted in all to about nine. Amongst the crew was James Veale, a native of Ireland, who had been very badly conducted on the voyage, and against whom the captain had several entries in the log-book. On the 28th of Juno, while in lat. 44 deg. N., long. 14 deg. 46 min. W. the captain came on deck about midnight, and found that Veale was not, as he should have been, on deck, it being his watch. He found him lying asleep in the galley, and he got a bucket of water, and threw it over him. Veale awoke in a rage, and started up. The captain walked towards the cabin, and Veale ran round, at the other side of the mast, drew out a large case knife, and stabbed him in several places. The man at the wheel, George Bald, a native of Fifeshire, observing the transaction, called out to another man, "take the wheel till Igo and call the mate." Veale hearing this, ran down the companion and got into the state-room of the mate, and stabbed him three several times, exclaiming " there, there." The mate struggled faintly with him, but had only strength to extricate himselt from his berth, and crawl up the com- panion, when he fell upon the deck. While the murderer was engaged upon the attack of the mate, Bald, an old man, went down the companion and into the state-room of the cap- tain to look for fire-arms. While they were there, they shut the state-room door, and only barely in time, for Veale, after com- pleting his terrible work in the cabin of the mate, rushed over, and drove the knife through the panel of the door they had shut, in an *Wort to break it in. Foiled in his design here, he went again upon deck, and it is supposed while passing he threw overboard the bodies of the mate and cap- tain, as they were never seen again. He then went forward to the forecastle, where two men were sleeping, and stabbed them both savagely, killing one of them, the cook, Samuel Weekes, and inflicted upon the other, George Bald, the man who was taken to the hospital, no less than six wounds. In the meantime, the two men in the captain's state-room re- mained in a dreadful state of alarm and anxiety, until, at length, hearing everything silent, George Bald stole up the companion with a pair of loaded pistols, which he had got in the state-room of the captain. As he got near the head of the companion, his head being in a bent posture, he was met by Veale, returning from his work of blood in the fore- castle, and received two stabs, one in the back and one in the shoulder. He fell down the ladder. and one of the pistols went off in the fall. Bald got into the state-room and secured himself there, and remained there for some time preparing a musket. After a little he heard the noise as if scuttling the vessel, which Veale was attempting with an axe, and he came up with a musket which he fired at Veal, and wounded him in the leg. This, in all probability, saved the vessel, as there were found afterwards in the deck and in the side of the vessel, holes from about eight inches to a foot square. Veale then retreated to the forecastle, and Bald then came after him and secured the scuttle. He then, it is said, broke the bull's eye, and fired another shot at Veale, but this did not hit him. While Veale was below Bald and the other man hoisted signals of distress, which were answered by the Isabella, of Liverpool, bound for Bristol, and the mate, James C. Howe, and two men came on board. Howe went to the forecastle, and Veale called out from within, begging of Howe to shoot him. Howe replied that he would do no such thing; that he would bring him to justice. He then went back on board his own vessel to procure more assistance, and, on his return, the whole body went forward to the forecastle. Tbey then waited for a while, but on looking down through the bull's eye, they saw his legs hanging down. They opened the hatch and went down, and found that he had ended his misdeeds by suicide. He was taken out, and it was then ascertained that the shot fired by Bald from the head of the companion had taken effect on him. The body, and that of the cook, who lived twenty-four hours after he received his wound, were thrown overboard; While this transaction was taking place a nephew of the owner, a little boy, who was on board, got into the fore-top, and so escaped uninjured. CONFESSIONS of LORD JOHN RUSSELL. TICE comments of the Daily News on Lord John Russell's extraordinary statement in the House of Commons, on Friday, are the more significant as proceeding from the chief Liberal organ, and the general supporter of the noble lord's policy. We extract two passages : In reply to certain interrogations from Mr. Milner Gibson, as to the accuracy of the allegations contained in Count Buol's last despatch, the noble lord confesses that substantially those allegations are correct. There may be verbal errors and incidental omissions,- but in the main the Austrian Prime Minister is perfectly warranted in his assertion, that to the final proposition made by him for compromising the questions involved in the third basis of settlement between Russia and the Allies, the Plenipotentiaries of England and France at Vienna gave their assent ; and that they undertook to urge its adoption upon their respective governments. M. Drouyn de Lhuys returned to Paris, laid before the Emperor the reason which had led him to come to that conclusion, and failing to convince him of its adequacy, deemed it his duty to resign his place in the administration. Lord John Russell returned to London, invited the cabinet to concur in the opinion he had declared to Count Buol, was out-voted by his colleagues on the sufficiency of the terms he had consented to, and instead of retiring from office, proceeded forthwith to defend in parliament the rejection of the offer. We own we should have hesitated to believe any other testimony than that. of Lord John himself on such a subject: hnt as ho bao thought proper to place the matter on record, we have no choice but to express our disappointment at the course he has pursued, and our astonishment at the reasons he has set forth as its justification. For some time this journal stood alone in vindicating the rectitude of his conduct, measured by the rule of personal consistency he had himself laid down. We adhere to that rule ; we deeply deplore that he has been induced to abandon it. And what is the paramount consideration which the noble lord says outweighed all others in his mind ? From a distance he saw that the administration of Lord Palmerston was from the outset unpopular. The authority of government appeared to him to be shaken. He could not see any justification for this national distrust in the constitution of the ministry under his noble friend's auspices ; and he therefore resolved to sacri- fice on the most momentous of questions—that of peace or war—his individual convictions, and to become the defender of the government through thick and thin. The most oligar- chic and exclusive administration that the people of this gene- ration have seen—the most recklessly jobbing and incompetent that we can call to mind—is, according to the noble member for London, so well worth preserving at any price, that he is content not only to give up his own views, and to retract his own declarations as a diplomatist, but to become its unre- served apologist and eulogist in his place in Parliament. MR. LAING is reported to have gone to Austria for the purpose of arranging the concession of the Hungarian rail- ways to a company. TnE Turkish Loan of £5,000,000 is about to be brought out under the united guarantee of the English and French Governments, which has just been accorded. THE steamships Hydaspes and Glasgow arrived at Mar- seillles on Saturday, with advices from Constantinople to the 28th, but none from the Crimea. A destructive fire happened on Saturday afternoon in the store-houses of the London and Brighton Railway Company, at the Bricklayers' Arms Station, whereby a large building, hay, corn, straw, and other goods, were destroyed. On Saturday morning, between four and five o'clock, a most extensive fire broke out on the premises of Messrs. Daniel and John Watney, distillers, Wandsworth, Surrey. The damage already done must, at a moderate estimate, amount to upwards of £40,000 sterling. AN ACTION was tried last week against the London Dock Company, by the proprietor of the wine purchased at "rum- mage" sales, which was so mysteriously transmuted into good sound port. The company denied that the wine claimed by the plaintiff was his property, and paid £25 into court, to cover the value of the casks. The jury found that that sum was sufficient, and a verdict passed in their favour. AMONGST the insolvents who applied for protection last week was a man who had been baptized "Eliza." He was a Dutchman, and the reason assigned for the fact was that he was named after a sister who had died. In England (he had been trading as a cheesemonger in the London-road) he found it convenient to call himself "Edward Smith." A Curious SCENE recently took place at St. George's Church, Barnsley. A couple of Messrs. Taylor's factory opera- tives presented themselves in their working attire, wishful to be united in the bonds of matrimony. The several attendants, all of whom work at the same place, all went in their shirt sleeves or similar dishabille, and the ceremony having been performed, they returned to their work, ha"ving only been absent a few minutes. THE SCOTTISH NEWSPAPERS.—At the present moment Scotland seems likely to be overrun by a torrent of journalism directed by various groups of impulsive individuals, who have evidently become impressed with the notion that "the chief end of man" upon earth is to print, distribute, and read news- papers. There will be a dozen daily papers in Glasgow and Edinburgh, with as many more in the distance, to appear as soon as credit can be found for types, machinery, and paper with which to make a start. Every Scotch printing-office is in a state of effervescence, and compositors, pressmen, and ma- chine men find themselves objects of solicitude and importance such as they never expected to realise. THE bankrupts Paul, Strahan, and Bates were again brought up at Bow-street, on Wednesday, when the only additional evidence was a letter from Sir J. Paul, authorising his attor- ney to raise the sum of £27,000 on certain securities. The money was lent by Messrs. Overend and Gurney. The case was again adjourned. The prisoners appeared to feel deeply the degrading position in which they were placed, and Mr. Strahan trembled violently the whole time he was in the dock. The position of the prisoners was perhaps rendered more degrading by the appearance of an artist, engaged for one of the illustrated papers, who was busily engaged in sketching their portraits. THE BRIGANDS AT SMYRNA.—After passing a week with twelve brigands of Smyrna, Dr. Macraith has been released on payment of £460 ransom. After a series of negotiations, a spot was fixed for receiving the ransom, and setting him at liberty. This took place at a small farmhouse, about eight miles distant from Smyrna. The Pasha has since been roused up to offer £lOO for Simon's (the chief brigand) head, and £3O for the heads of any members of his band. One thing our countryman has obtained for his £460, and that is a scrap of paper signed by Simon and Moro, which will carry him harm- less through all the banditti of Asia Minor. When this bri- gand seized Dr. Macraith, they took a donkey from* Turk, on which they placed their prisoner, and afterwards' shot its owner for following them. DISCOVERY OF THE BODY OF BALEAT, THE SWISS GlllDE.—Jaques Balmat, the celebrated guide of Chamouni, who was lost in the ascent of Mont Blanc about 20 years ago, while acting as guide to some travellers, was found a few days ago, according to the Gazette de Lausanne, in the broken-up ice which forms the arch (mite) of Aveyron. To the astonish- ment of persons passing that way, the body of a man was dis- covered, the. upper portion being still buried in its frozen tomb. A number of persons were promptly summoned to the spot, and, after cautious efforts with pickaxes and other instru- ments, they succeeded in disengaging the remains of the old and popular guide, Jaques Balmat, in a state of the most per- fect preservation. The body was immediately conveyed to Chamouni, where it received every mark of honour and respect. Jaques Balmat acquired some celebrity by being one of the guides to M. Saussure, the natura.llol, in the year 1780.

at some length, and shown it to be in reality causeless ; but even they, we should suppose, can hardly object to give their aid in raising a sum equal to that which resulted from the Queen's letter, inasmuch as that sum was devoted entirely to grants in aid of school- buliding. They may, absurdly enough, make the ap- pointment of a particular master, or the maintenance of a choral service, a ground for withdrawing their subscriptions to the general fund of the society, but hardly for refusing to assist in collectingmoney which is to be devoted exclusively to bricks and mortar. Against the Church Building Society we are not aware that any ill-feeling has been expressed, but against that for the Pro- pagation of the Gospel the most unjust and reckless charges have been perseveringly urged. It is now in the 155th year of its existence, and has just celebrated its anniversary festiial within the walls of St. Paul's Cathe- dral. At that festival men like the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, the Bishops of LONDON, WINCHESTER, OXFORD, HEREFORD, ST. ASAPH, and MEATH, were found side by side ; while at the meeting at the Man- sion-house the Bishop of MELBOURNE was not only present, but spoke in support of the Society. At the meeting at Willis's Rooms, the Archbishop of CAN- TERBURY took the chair. These facts need no com- ment. They prove that the Society is indeed no mere party affair, but a Church society; and as such we trust it will be supported when the year comes round in which it would have received the collections resulting from a QUEEN'S letter, had not the usage of the last thirty years been causelessly interrupted.

RECRUITING FOR THE ARMY. THE check which was given to recruiting for the army, by the many harrowing details which were pub- lished of the sufferings and privations endured by the army in the Crimea through the winter, has never been thoroughly got over. When the war broke out, and a call was made for men to serve against the Russians, the spirit of enthusiasm knew no bounds, and the difficulty experienced by those engaged in recruiting referred more to selecting the best men among the numerous applicants than in inducing men to offer their services. Even when the news arrived of the great victory at Alma, and subsequently at Balaklava and Inkerman, the long lists of killed and wounded seemed to operate rather as stimulants than other- wise, and applicants for admission to the army were more numerous than ever. When, however, it became known that, through official mismanagement, our soldiers were subject to dangers not inflicted by the enemy, and that more perished from such causes than those who fell in the battle-field, the desire for enlist- ing rapidly diminished. The risk of death had to be encountered with little probability of military glory, and those who hesitated not to meet it at the hand of the enemy, shrank from the encounter with cold, hunger, and neglect. Since then recruiting has been in some measure promoted by increasing from time to time the amount of bounty, but it has not reached the requirements of the service, and more men are still wanted to render efficient the many regiments reduced to skeletons. In order to attain this object, Lord PANMITRE, the Minister of War, announced, a short time since, that the Government had resolved to give double pay, or an additional shilling a day, to every private soldier actually serving, to commence from the time of his landing in the Crimea. The extra money was not, however, to be paid to him, but invested in the Savings' Bank, for his benefit, until the conclusion of his service, or be paid to his representatives in the event of his death. It has, however, been judged, on subsequent consideration, that this prospective advan- tage would not be sufficiently appreciated, and a mo- [JULY 10, 1855 au. ly4vEj clification of the arrangement has been now determined that the soldier shall r'; additional sixpence a day, and the Temaillingi be invested for the ultimate benefit of 11105' representative. The subject underwent some disco`' House of Lords on Thursday, the Earl *BOROU GH stating his belief that, if the ben listment were raised to £2O a man, it iveull more economical arrangement for the eel prove more effectual as a stimulus to ree, the plan proposed by the Government. 1:1 the question may be true in some respeeorai ts tainly would not tend to enhance the ait army, inasmuch as, in many cases, it woulat encouraging habits of dissipation by giving made soldier the means of indulging they' , wanted is a better system of promotion, i private soldier may have a laudable and 11:0 time a practicable object of ambition. Ifj ft ments, such as the Guards, had additi°: other advantages, and admission made ill good conduct, instead of a particular sia sonal appearance, the soldier would hav:d fairly within his reach ; for it must ever Ad mind that prospective rewards are of frid stimulants to emulation, unless there be :ol probability of attaining them.

FURTHER IMPORTANT TESTIMONY.-OREAT CURE OF PILES. • - • 17, Phelps•street. Walworth, Feb. 22, 1853. Gentlemen,—l was afflicted with the blind Piles, and was under medical treatment for three months, but obtained no relief. Hearing of Old Dr. Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla, I obtained some, and, after taking it a short time, the accumulated corrupt matter copiously discharged, and I almost immediately obtained relief. I still continued as use for a time, and not only found • relief, but a cure, and am now free from pain. I most sincerely recommend it to all who are similarly affected. WM. HYDE. Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co. 8, Ashley-terrace, City-road, London, June 9, 1852. GENTLEMEN Please send me again three quart bottles of 01d Townsend's Sarsaparilla. 1 feel much better, and the general system greatly improved, and I hcpe I shall be all right with the three now ordered.—lours very respectfully, JOHN W. MUNCH. Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co., 373, Strand. William Wearn, 1, High-street, Southsea, writes' " I have taken several bottles of Old Townsend's Sarsaparilla' and derived benefit front it." Rev. J. W. Wilson, Wesleyan Minister, at Biggleswade. writes, June 7, 1852, " I have derived much benefit from taking Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla." PIMPLES, BLOTCHES, ERUPTIONS, &C. The same may be said of these as in the cure of the severer chronic maladies ; the Sarsaparilla and the Ointment will effec- tually wipe off all disagreeable eruptions, and render the surface clear and beautiful. Ladies troubled with rough, pimply skin, or a gross, masculine surface, will do well to use these Medicines, if they wish clear, delicate, and transparent complexions. Notking can exceed their efficacy in this respect. CURE OP A DISORDERED STOMACH. Lower Grosvenor-street, Grosvenor square, July 31, 1851. Gentlemen,—l beg to inform you that 1 have been using your Medicine, Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla, for a complaint in my sto- mach, from which I suffered a long time, and I am happy to say it has cured me. I shall to answer any letter of inquiry, as your Sarsaparilla is worthy of all the recommendation I can give it. Messrs. Pomeroy and CO. JAMES FORSYTH. SICK HEADACHE—A CASE OF MANY YEARS' STANDING.

Lord LYNDHURST gave notice that he should postpone the second reading of the Oath of Abjuration Bill from Thursday next to the following Tuesday. The Earl of DERBY appealed to his noble and learned friend not to proceed with the bill this session. Lord LYNDHURST declined to accede. _ _ The Earl of GRANVILLE said the hon. and learned member would have the support of government whenever he brought on the bill. Lord REDESDALE said the bill was really one for the admis- sion of Jews into parliament, and be protested against such a measure being brought in at this period of the session, when the sense of the house could not be fairly taken upon it. The motion for the second reading was postponed until to-morrow week.

Zbis nay. Tins DAY (Tuesday), the 10th instant, at Twelve, at the Brokers' Office, 13, Exchange-buildings, 1775 Bags Fine Bengal RICE, No landing ex Loch Lomond, from Calcutta, All,ert Dock.—Ap ply to T. and H. LITTLEDALE and Co., Brokers. TO CORRESPONDENTS. WE have received several inquiries from subscribers as to whether we intend to follow the example of some of our Radical con- temporaries, and publish oftener than once a-week. We may state that we have no such intention, unless, indeed, the disin- terested patriotism of some of our wealthy readers would guarantee us against the heavy loss which would inevitably result from such a course, not only to ourselves, but to our sub- scribers. It may sound very plausible to publish two unstamped papers a-week at the price of one stamped, but the consequence would be a mutual loss ; for while the Standard, with the stamp, which we now sell at -lid., may be transmitted free through the post any number of times for fifteen days, two unstamped papers containing no more news than the one, and costing.fie e- pence, would require a penny additional for each paper every time they were sent by post, making a weekly charge of seven- pence to the country subscriber, with an extra charge if he wishes to send his paper to a friend. Indeed, this pretended boon to the public, in the removal of the penny stamp, will be found, like some other legislative boons, to be in reality an additional tax, as shown in the instance of the London Times, which is now charged a halfpenny more for the stamed copy, and then is liable to a postage, unless in folding the stamp be exposed to view; while the unstamped charged at fourpence is liable to a postage of twopence. correspondent has remarked that, while there are TWENTY-six RADICAL PUBLICATIONS issued each week in Liverpool, there are only THREE OF CONSERVATIVE POLITICS. That this is no evidence of a corresponding preponderance of political feeling, has been abundantly shown in several contested elections. It is, however, the best proof that could be adduced of the advan- tage of advertising in Conservative papers. We have already given the public the full benefit, and something more, of the change in the law by reducing the price of the Standard, and publishing a gratuitous supplement in addition, and we are sure that a weekly paper of these dimensions is far cheaper to sub- scribers than more frequent publication, with the additional expenses involved in the transmission. While our contempo- raries are engaged in a competition of price, we are content to make quality the test of cheapness, and we are satisfied that our subscribers will have no difficulty in discovering that both objects—quality and cheapness—are more effectually secured by a weekly paper of the dimensions and at the price now charged for the Standard than by more frequent issues, nomi- nally cheaper, hut in reality much dearer.

London and North... Western have declined to par; Midland to 711. ;'Leeds to 811. Ad- ,_verse rumours of coming reports are the cause of this depression, As far as we can learn, however, these ,proceed from interested persons, and are =circulated to ,'benefit their speculative operations. We fare informed on good authority, that the London will pay its. usual ,dividend, and issue a very satisfactory Teport. The 'Midland will certainly not pay less thwat the same time last year ; and -there are those who think that .they can, and will pay an increase of an eighth or ;quarter per cent., seeing they could have paid premium at Christmas, but did not frhe Leeds will pay 4as before. The traffic 'reports for the half-year past are generally favourable. "The. London has earned £29 per ,mile more than in 1854; £163 more than in 1853.

SOCIETIES, AN influence, which no one can doubt is adverse to the Church of England, has been at work, as our readers are probably aware, to cause three of our - . Church Societies to be deprived of that portion of their incomes. which was collected under the authority of what are known as Queen's Letters. The societies in whose favour these documents were alternately issued are, the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, the National School Society, and the Church Building Society ; and, as we have already Maintained with regard to the second of these, so now we fearlessly assert of the other two, that they know no party but the Church, and are, therefore, worthy of the warmest support of all the Church's children. The first of these, we believe, affected by the refusal to issue the usual Queen's Letter, is that for Church Building. But how is it to be affected ? Once in three years the SOVEREIGN, through the Archbishops and Bishops, has required a collection to be made in its behalf ; and the amount received has varied from about twenty-four to thirty thousand pounds, which, divided into three, has afforded an addition to its funds of from eight to ten thousand a year, the other two societies realising about an equal sum. We recollect, some years ago, that the Times, in consequence of a dispute between its then-proprietor and the Incumbent of the parish in which he resided, endeavoured to prove the illegality of Church collections, unless made under the Queen's authority ; and, possibly, those who have brought about the refusal of this authority may en- deavour to revive this point, and hinder the Church to do for herself what others refuse to do for her. How- ever, many and bitter as are the Church's foes, the temper of the times would hardly, we think, support any attempt of this kind, and, therefore, we will not anticipate it. The problem is, how to raise an annual sum of some twenty-eight thousand pounds, in order that these three societies may not suffer, nor their work be impeded. And, surely, there ought to be no diffi- culty in this. It would only amount to an average of two pounds for each of our congregations ; and what we fear is, not want of ability upon the Church's part to raise this sum, a mere drop in the bucket compared with the wealth of Christian England, but, that some of the clergy through forgetfulness, some through procrastination, and others through lukewarmness, will allow the year to slip away without making the necessary effort. We would fain hope that the bishops will do something in the matter. A united pastoral from them would, we believe, be even more efficacious than a Queen's letter, and certainly far more satisfac- tory in principle. And, if this be found to be imprac- ticable, there is no reason why each bishop should not address the clergy of his own diocese : and, even if some of them should decline to take this course, we see not what is to hinder each clergyman addressing his own flock. We are satisfied that, if the right steps are taken, tLe societies will not only not be injuriously affected by the hostility of the men at present in power, but their incomes will he increased, and their means of usefulness extended. Of the hostility of certain persons to the National Society we have,- on two previous occasions, Written

IN THE HIGH COURT OF • C HAN CER Y. TRIES E MAR. ON THE 29TH OF MAY, 1955, AN INJUNCTION WAS GRANTED BY THE HIGH COURT OF CHANCERY, AND ON THE 11TH OF JUNE FOLLOWING WAS MADE PERPETUAL, AOA I NST JOSEPH FRANK- LIN AND OTHERS, TO RESTRAIN THEM. UNDER A PENALTY OF £l,OOO, FROM IMITATING THIS MEDICINE, WHICH IS PRO- TECTED BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT OF ENGLAND, AND SECURED BY THE SEALS OF THE ECOLE DE PHARMACIE DE PARIS AND THE IMPERIAL COLLEGE OF MEDICINE, VIENNA. TRIESEMAR, No. 1, is a Remedy for Relaxation, Spermatorr- hcea, and Exhaustion of the System. TRIESEMAR, No. 2, effectually, in the short space of Three Days, completely and entirely eradicates all traces of those dis- orders which Capsules have so long been thought an antidote for, to the ruin of the health of a vast portion of the population. TRIESEMAR, No. 3, is the Great Continental Remedy for that class of disorders which, unfortunately, the English physician treats with Mercury, to the destruction of the Patient's constitu- tion, and which all the Sarsaparilla in the world cannot remove. TRIESEMAR, Nos. 1,2, and 3, are alike devoid of taste or smell, and of all nauseating qualities. Sold in tin cases, at Ils. each; free by post, 2s. extra, divided into separate doses, as administered by VA LPEAU, LALLEMAND, Roux. &c. &c. 1p be had, wholesale and retail, in London, of JOHNSON, 68, Cornbill ; HANNAY and Co., 63, Oxford- street; SANGER, 150, Oxford-street; R.

AINS IN THE BACK, GRAVEL, LUMBAGO, P..HEUMATISM, GOUT, HEADACHE, NERVOUSNESS, DEBILITY, &c. DR. DE ROOS' COMPOUND RENAL PILLS (astheir name Renal, or the Kidneys, indicates) have been long established as a most safe and efficacious remedy for the above dangerous complaints, Discharges of any kind, and Diseases of the Kidneys and organs therewith connected generally, &c.,which, if neglected, freauently end in a lingering painful death. For Depression of Spirits, Excitement, Dislike of Society, Incapacity for Study or Business, Loss of Memory, Confusion, Giddiness, Blood to the Head, Drowsiness, Sleep without refreshment, Nervousness, and even Insanity itself, they are unequalled. Possessing tonic pro- perties, they agree with the most delicate stomach, strengthen the digestive organs, increase the appetite, and improve the gene- ral health. They require neither confinement norchange of diet, and, as experience has amply proved, they will effect a cure when mercury and all other dangerous medicines have failed. One trial will convince the most sceptical of their surprising properties. _ Mr. Letellier, Etruria, Potteries.—" Your Renal Pills have done wonders with me and others to whom I have recommended them." H. C., Post-office, Stafford.—" Your Renal Pills are a most splendid medicine." J. Murphy, 70, Upper Sterin-street, Dublin.—" I never met the like of them before, they are really a surprising medicine." W. Chartres, Esq., Newport, Mayo.—" I have a degree of mental energy and vigour such as I did not feel these two years. My memory is wonderfully improved, so that I can recollect all the events of each day with the greatest degree of clearness. It is astonishing how I got out of such awful sufferings, but I think I owe it altogether to the use of your Pills." PERSONS GOING ABROAD, CAPTAINS and OTHEaS, can- not store more important articles of health than the above, which, by regulating the Stomach and Bowels, and tranquillizing the Nervous System, will prevent those fatal diseases so prevalent abroad, as also Sea Sickness and other complaints incidental to long voyages and irregular living. No Emigrant's Chest can be properly furnished without them, for when far removed from medical aid, they will find in these Pills a never-/ailing restorative. IMPORTANT.—Some unprincipled Vendors, when asked for Dr. DE Roos' Pitts, have attempted to foist upon the public other Medicines or trash of their own compounding, from which they obtains larger profit. The OEN UINS have the words, " WALTER DE ROOS, LONDON," in white letterson a red ground, printed in the Stamp affixed to each box; by special direction of Her Majesty's Honourable Commissioners, to protect the Public from Fraud, and to imitate which is felony. . May be obtained through all MediCine Vendors, at Is. lid., 2s. 9d., 48. 6i1., lls., and 335. per Box, with full directions for use; or by enclosing Post-office Order or Stamps to Dr. DE ROOS, 10, BERNERS-STREET, OXFORD-ST., LONDON, they will be sent per return. At home for consultation daily from 11 till 4 o'clock, Sunday excepted. Advice and Medicines tI. Sold by Jones, 5, Paradise-street, and 78, London-road.

N.B.—Respectable Persons in Country places, who will be allowed a liberal Commission, may make a handsome addition to their income by selling these Pills, which are very justly becoming favourite Medicine with the Public. NO MORE PILLS NOR ANY OTHER MEDI- CINE.—For INDIGESTION (Dyspepsia), CONSTIPATION, NERVOUS, BILIOUS, and LIVER COMPLAINTS, COUGH, CON- surdn toN' and DEBILITY.—DU BARRY'S delicious REVA- L ENTA ARABICA FOOD saves 50 times its cost in Medicine, and Cures the above complaints and their consequences, such as flatulency, distension, acidity, heartburn, palpitation of the heart, nervous headaches, deafness, noises in the head and ears, pains at the pit of the stomach and between the shoulders, diarrhoea, dysentery, impurity and poverty of the blood, scrofula, asthma, dropsy, rheumatism, gout, nausea and sickness during pregnancy, after eating, or at sea, low spirits, spasms, cramps, epileptic fits, spleen, general debility, inquietude, sleeplessness, involuntary blushing, paralysis, tremors, dislike to society, unfitness for study, loss of memory, delusions, vertigo, blood to the head, ex- haustion, melancholy, groundless fear, indecision. It is, more- over, the best food for infants and invalids generally, as it never purges or turns acid on the weakest stomach, nor interferes with a good liberal diet, but imparts a healthy relish for lunch and dinner, and restores the faculty of digestion and nervous and muscular energy to the most enfeebled. Analysis by the Professor of Chemistry and Analytical Chemist, ANDREW URN, M.D., F.R.S., &c., &c.—London, June 3, 1849.

Page Wood, granted an Injunction on the 10th March, 1834, against Alfred Hooper Nevill, for imitating " Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food." BARRY DU BARRY and CO., 77, Regent-street, London. A few out of 50,000 cures are here given : Cure No. 71, of Dyspepsia, from the Right Hon. the Lord Stuart de Decies : "I have derived considerable benefit from Du Barry's Revalenta Food, and consider it due to yourselves and the public to authorise the publication of these Iines.—STUART DE DECI ES" From the Dowager Countess of CASTLESTUART. Cure 52,612. —Rosstrevor, County of Down, Ireland, 9th Dec., 1854.—The Dowager Countess of Castlestuart feels induced, in the interest of suffering humanity, to state that Du Barry's excellent Revalents Arabica Food has cured her, after all Medicines had failed, of indigestion, bile, great nervousness and irritability of many years' standing. This Food deserves the confidence of all sufferers, and may be considered a real blessing. Inquiries cheerfully answered. Cure No. 49,832.—" Fifty years indiscribable agony from dys- pepsia, nervousness, asthma, cough, constipation, flatulency, spasms, sickness at the stomach and vomiting, have been re- moved by Du Barry's excellent food.—NiARIA JOLLY, Wortharn Ling, near Diss, Norfolk." Cure No. 47,121.—" Miss Elizabeth Jacobs, of Nazing Vicarage, Waltham-cross, Herts : a cure of extreme nervousness, indiges- tion, gatherings, low spirits, and nervous fancies."

Indeed I was in utter despair, and never expected to get over it, when I was fortunate enough to become acquainted with your Revalenta Arabica, which, heaven be praised, restored me to a state of health, which I long since despaired of attaining. My lungs, liver, stomach, head and ears are all right, my hearing perfect,•and my recovery is a marvel to all my acquaintances.—JAMES ROBERTS, Wood Merchant, Bridgehouse, Frimley, 3rd April, 1854."

LETTERS FROM THE CRIMEA The following is the copy of a letter from a Corporal of the 57th Foot, to his parents in Liverpool : Camp near Sebastopol, 11 at night, 17th June, 1855. Mr DEAR PAums,--Terhaps this is the last time that I may ever be permitted to write to you. I have just made any final preparations ; the assault on Sebastopol takes place at midnight, and, as I told you before, we have the post of honour—our regiment leads the storming party, we fall in at a quarter past 12, I must therefore hurry. Should I fall, I have told two or three persons to let you know my fate—you must not in that case -sorrow too much—remember that I have fallen in the path of duty, in resisting the ambition of a tyrant, who, if permitted to follow out his plans, might eventually carry the horrors of war into our own loved country. That we will be successful, I do not entertain the least shadow of a doubt ; but we may ,be so, and yet I may be among the slain, for that our own loss will be great I also believe. However, I commit myself to the care of *Him who holds worlds in the palm of His hand, humbly trusting that He having hitherto preserved me throughout the horrors and dangers that I have passed through, will, if not for my sake, yet for the sake of those whom I know dailyolfer up fervent prayers to the Throne of Grace for my safety. He I say will I trust preserve me through the dangers which to-morrow's dawn shall unfold upon me ; and, should it be His merciful will that I should fall, I humbly trust that, sinner as I have been, He will pardon me for the sake of Him who died that sinners might live—unto His gracious protection I therefore commit myself, praying that, if it is His will to take me, you may receive the affliction with humility, saying—Father, thy will be done. My last thought shall be about you ; I trust that they may not interfere with my thoughts on eternity. Give my love to all. God bless you, and may He in His infinite providence make the trials and afflictions which you now bear upon my account the means of conveying His grace to your souls, is the prayer of—my dear Father and Mother, your affectionate Son, J. M. -P.S.—The Colour-Serjeant of my company will write to you should he survive, and anything happen to me. The following is from a correspondent of the Daily News, dated CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, JI7NE 26. No move of importance has occurred in the siege operations the last few days. The French are sapping up towards the Malakhoff,and already the trenches make a considerable show. An extensive place d'armes has been formed in front of the Mamelon. The armament of the White Redoubt (Seleughinsk Redoubt), above Careening Bay, is being strength- ened and works added. The small 5-gun work, deserted by the Russians, at the extremity of the spur, is still unoccupied, except by a few French riflemen ; it is not in a position to be rendered available against the enemy's works on the west side of the Careening ravine. The Russians are adding to their number of guns on the verge of the cliffs on the north side of the roadstead opposite to Mount Sapone. On our side we are extending the sap towards the Redan, and as yet have not met with any interruption from the enemy. A trench has also been made to connect the extremities of the right and middle boyau proceeding with the old advanced work, and this has again been joined to the parallel extended from the Quarry Battery. A new battery of considerable strength is in course of construction; it is expected that it will be chiefly brought to bear against the Russian shipping. When Colonel Yea fell in the attack on the Redan, he had with him a plan of the works in the right attack ; this, how- ever, could give the enemy little information beyond what he already possesses. All the trenches and batteries on French- man's-hill, from the sloping nature of the ground, are fully ex- posed to his view. It is alone possible to keep secret the exact - position and nature of the armament of the newbatteries; but it would appear, from the counterworks erected, that the enemy has means of obtaining speedy information even on these sub- jects. The night before last, lam informed, a party of our engi- neers succeeded in approaching the mouth of the harbour suffi- ciently near, in the Banshee, to enable them to discover a star battery in the course of erection in the immediate rear of the Malakhoff—an addition to the strength of that position which I need hardly say would greatly enhance the difficulty of its capture. There is reason to believe that similar strength- ening additions are also in progress behindthe Redan; but there are less important, as it is not likely that that work will again be made a principal point of attack, its abandonment follow- ing, as a matter of course, on the seizure of the Malakhoff. The French have been throwing shells at the large Russian ships in the Great Harbour from some batteries on the left. Several shells fell very near ; in one instance a shell fell into the water between two of the ships—a three-decker and two- decker, but without doing any arm. The ships still remain broadside on the direction of the Malakhoff-hill. On several nights lately, boats from the fleet have stolen in towards the mouth of the Great Harbour, and discharged shells androckets into the town. They have been within range of the guns of the forts, but the darkness has prevented the enemy from determining their position, notwithstanding the momentary flashes of their fire. Active search has been made during the last few days for Russian spies [supposed to be in the camp. Several innocent persons have been taken up on suspicion. Among others, Captain Freeman Armstrong, of the 18th Royal Irish regiment, was yesterday arrested as a spy, He had come over on horse- back from the Third Division, and in consequence of some striking peculiarities in his dress and appearance, and certain questions about the works on Frenchman's-hill which he put to the guard at the picket-house, he was thought to be a Russian agent in an assumed dress. Notice was given to the rrovost-Sergeant, who rou.,,a captain Armstrong to lnker- mann, and there arrested him. It was in vain he made assertions of his being an officer of the 18th Regiment, he was compelled to come to the proper authorities. As he moved along, a crowd of soldiers gathered, both French and English ; there was no doubt that he was a spy, and loud was the explosion of indignation which followed. Captain Armstrong became excited, and it was perhaps for- tunate that his sword, which was curved, and not at all of the ordinary English shape, was taken from him. He was not identified until he reached the Adjutant-General's office of the Light Division. A short time since a Russian agent passed in a direction towards the Mamelon, dressed in the uniform of a French captain of the line. Something led to suspicion re- specting his real character, and he was interrogated. As he did not know the name of the colonel of the regiment, nor which division the regiment belonged to, he was removed for closer examination elsewhere, and the fact of his being in dis- guise was speedily proved. Several of the Greek canteen men in camp have been taken up on suspicion of being spies. A Tuum—The correspondent of the Daily News before Sebastopol describes one of those occurrences uow so frequent, a truce for burying the dead and searching out the wounded. He says :—" During this proceeding a number of Russian officers mingled amongst our party, and, as several of them spoke English fluently, a good deal was said. Their ' pump- ing' inclination, however, was so marked as in most cases to defeat itself, though one of our officers was guilty of the indis- cretiOn of informing a very suave interrogator that their grape did sad injury to our men in possession of the lately-taken Quarries—a remark which procured his instant order to the rear by General Airey. It was by one of these polite foes that the inquiry was made of an Englishman at my side whether our Generals had really been drunk or not during the recent assault.' The Russians having helped us to gather in the dead, the whole sad duty was soon performed, and the truce brought to an end." The Standard of Friday says :—We learn that the Ordnance are just now preparing artillery, more especially mortars, upon a prodigious scale, some to carry shells as large as the huge stone balls used by the Turks at the siege of Rhodes. We mention the fact, because no enemy can take advantage of the information, as the missiles of which we speak mustdefy resis- tance. As we are informed, the mortier monstre, which by two discharges, or three at most, reduced the previously im- pregnable citadel of Antwerp, was a babe to those of which we speak—their range is calculated at five miles. We presume that Cronstadt is to have the benefit of their first experiments. This is going to work in the right way. Such engines of destruction; planted upon strong rafts, would exactly fulfil our plan given for the attack of sea-shore fortresses. AN-ARMY SURGEON writes on the 11th from before Sebas- topol : —" On the 7th, a little hop-o'-my-thumb of a soldier made prisoner a Russian officer, whom he conducted with much pride to the first parallel, the officer overtopping the little man's musket and bayonet. I asked the Russian if he spoke French; he shook his head and said "no speak ; ' but he exclaimed, ' doctor, doctor.' I made signs that I was one, and he then took off his coat, when I found he had a bullet wound at the back of his neck. He now tried to make himself understood by talking Latin. Pointing to the wound in his neck, he asked, Mortale est?' When I told him it was not mortal, he pressed me by the hand, and said, Pater, mater, et soror sent mihi.' He said he was a lieutenant of the 7th Dnieper Regiment. When he saw me open my case for a bandage to dress his wound, he thrust his hand into one of his own coat- pockets, and produced his own for that purpose. All the Russian soldiers, very wisely, carry these things about the in TxtE North Briton, a cheap Edinburgh paper, announces, as a great inducement to purchasers, that its readers will receive, from a certain dealer, "one quarter of a pound of tea for 91d." AN ADVENTUROUS LADY, mentioned as having, in an hour of no ordinary peril, paid a visit to the Mamelon Tower, was, it is said, the wife of Lord George Paget, the commanding officer of the 4th Light Dragoons. CHARLES BEVAN, late secretary to the Deposit and General Life Assurance Company, was sentenced at the Central Criminal Court, on Thursday, to eighteen months' hard labour, for stealing a cheque of the company. A Buz has passed the House of Lords, and is now in the House of Commons, to amend the Charitable Trusts Act of 1853. Among other provisions it extends the powers of the commissioners and inspectors to inquire into charities. WEST INDIA PINEAPPLES.—The first cargo of the season, consisting of 25,000, has arrived after a 30 days' passage per Nancy Dawson, The growth of the crop has been somewhat retarded owing to want of rain. EXTRAORDINARY, IF TRIIE.—The Bedford Times relates a circumstance of an extraordinary character which occurred a short time since in one of the flourishing towns of the midland counties. A clergyman died, and his wife and daughters on the third day after his decease, recollecting -that no likeness remained of the once cherished son and brother, it was agreed, ere the grave closed o'er him, that the body should be unshrouded and a portrait taken. A young lady of some professional celebrity was engaged for the task. She, with the assistance of the attendant, took off the shroud and placed the body in the requisite posture ; but other duties requiring the artist's attention, the sketch was deferred till noon. About twelve o'clock, at the foot of the bed, the lady commenced and went through an hour's work on this image of death. At this stage of the proceedings, by some unaccountable motion, the head of the deathlike figure fell on one side. Nothing daunted, the artist carefully took the head to replace it, when, lo ! the eyes opened, and staring her full in the face, " the dead" inquired—" Who are you P" The young " professional," without trepidation, took the bandage from the head and rubbed his neck. lie immediately saw the shroud and laughed immoderately. The artist quietly called the family—their joy may be imagined but cannot be described. That evening, he who had laid three days in his shroud, bemoaned by mother and sisters with agonising tears, gladdened their hearts by taking his accustomed place at their tea table, and at this moment is making an excursion in North Wales.

The Gazette of last night contains a despatch, dated 26th June, from the late Lord Raglan, enclosing the weekly medical report, dated 26th, and list of casualties : Cholera and bowel complaints had been on the increase within the last two or three days, but neither the admissions nor deaths had been so marked as to attract special attention, though numerous enough to create uneasiness. The admis- sions to strength (taking the whole force) during the week had been in the ratio of 10.50 per cent. However, the deaths to strength are in the ratio of 0.68 per cent.; but 1,659 of the admissions during the week were from wounds alone. The Sardinian troops had suffered much more from the epidemic than the British troops. Great attention was paid to the cleanliness of the different camps. Lord Raglan reports with much sorrow the sudden death, from cholera, of Captain Charles Bowles, 10th Hussars, and laments the loss of Lieut.-Adjutant H. Marsh, 33d Regiment killed in the trenches on the 24th June. Numerical return of casualties on the morning of the 18th June :—Total, 1,473.

112 On clause 27, Mr. ALEXANDER HASTIE moved the omission of the words " By the master," the effect of which would be to confine religious teaching to the ministers. The LORD ADVOCATE said he could not accede to the pro. position, as it would introduce divisions in religious teaching. The house divided : For the motion Against Majority against —9s The remaining amendments were then disposed of, and the bill was ordered to be read the third time on Thursday. THE LAW OF PARTNERSHIP. On the motion that the house go into committee on the Partnership Amendment Bill, Mr. ARCHIBALD HASTIE moved an amendment that the house go into committee that day three months. The hon. mem- ber contended that the system of limited liability which it was now propoKd to introduce would not be attended with any benefit to the public, and that the existing system had worked well. Hli read a number of long extracts from a pamphlet on the subject, which were listened to with some impatience, when at length, Mr. E. BALL rose, and spake to order. Submitting that no hon. member was justified in reading a whole pamphlet. Mr. HASTIE contended that he was strictly in order, inas- much, as he was only following the example of the right hon. gentleman who introduced the bill. Several hon. members exclaimed he read only extracts. Mr. HASTIE replied that he was reading only extracts. (A laugh.) He proceeded to read two other long passages, and was commencing a third, when Mr. JOHN MicGßEcion rose to order. The hon. member' for Paisley might- almost as well read to the house the whole" of the works of Adam Smith, or, at least, he might just as : well introduce all:the arguments, pro. and con., of Adam Smith. Why did not the lion member make a speech of his own ? (Great laughter.) , The SPEAKER said, the hon. member was quite in order in quoting extracts, but, at the same time, the practice was one of degree. (A laugh.) It certainly was not regular to quote a whole book. (Renewed laughter.) Mr. HASTIE then proceede-d with his speech, quoting no more, and in a few minutes he had concluded his observations in support of the motion. Mi.MicuELL seconded the motion, contending that no case had been made out for altering the law, and that it was not demanded by the mercantile community. Mr. JOHN MloanEaon defended the system of limited liability and said that, though the bill was not the best that could have been constructed, he should give it his best sup- port ;it was only opposed by capitalists. Lord Overstone opposed it; but would his father have done so when he was travelling through Wales as an Unitarian minister ? Mr. WILKINSON supported the bill. After speeches from Mr. MA.Lnis, Mr. MACGREGOR, Mr. W. BROWN, and one or two other members, the motion was negatived without a division, and the house went into com- mittee. After disposing of two clauses, the CHAIRMAN, on the motion of Mr. HORSFALL, reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Thursday. ---Lord Raglan's Annuity Bill was read a second time. The Bills of Exchange Bill was read a third time; and on the question that it do pass, Mr. VANCE moved that the period after which execution should issue be extended from 12 to 16 days. Mr. HuTomvs opposed the motion. The house divided—For the motion, 24; against it, 43: majority against, 19. The bill passed. The house then proceeded to consider the Coal Mines Inspec- tion Bill as amended,; and on the 9th clause, Mr. CAYLEY moved that the words serious personal injury" be inserted. Sir G. GREY opposed the insertion. The house divided—For the motion, 68 ; against it, 74: majority against, 6. The bill was ordered to be read the third time to-day (Tuesday).
