The house adjourned at a quarter-past one. Lord PALMERSTON observed that it was rather late in the session to introduce a bill on a subject which embraced ----r----- - within ea mope a very large question upon which great differences of opinion existed. The hon. and gallant member, however, said that he only wished to bents in the bill in order Is have the opportunity of submitting his own opinions to the cocsideration of parliament, without expecting to be able to bring it to a conclusion this year. Under such circum stances, it would be diecourteou s to oppose the introduction of it.

After a few weeds from Major RIND, and a remark from Mr. Denton' that to encourage the bringing in of bills which it was not intended to proceed with would add mate- rially to the expense of printiog, the motion was agreed to, sad the bili was ordered to be introduced.

FRANCE. ........ar OF TIM nstilt laws ) PARIS, TossnAY Evening. The losses of the French army on moue 18, an nounced in the Maniteur this morning, are unfortu nately so heavy that there is but little margin left for that Russian exaggeration which General Pelissier, in one of Ws telegraphic despatches, thought it neces sary to predict. The fearful number of 150 officers and 3,188 men killed, wounded, and missing, is avowed by General Pelissier's published despatch, but in such terms as to make it plain that there must be very many wounded not included in the re turn. There are 37 officers killed, 17 made prisoners, and 96 entered in'o the ambulances. This is a new form, evidently (as it will appear more plainly in the sequel) adopted to veil as much as possible the real number of casualties. The expression commonly used is "wounded," and Galignani taking it for granted that this was what was meant by the words " entrjs aux ambulances" so translates the phrase. Bat it is well known by military men that not all the officers and soldiers wounded in a battle go into hos pital. Very many whose hurts aro not dangerous receive such attention as their situation may ' ,require in their tent, but they are always included, nevertheless, in the returns of casualties. A glance at the list of English officers wounded on the 18th will show that a large proportion are re ported as "slightly" wounded only. Many of these are certainly not in hospital, and there must be a proportional number of French officers not in the ambulances who are more or less injured. But when we come to the numbers of the non-commissioned officers and privates given in the Moniteur, the bear. ing of these observations becomes still more appa rent. It is said that there were 1,544 killed or missing, and 1,644 " entered ilea the ambulances." There is a Russian despatch, which claims 600 French prisoners, and we can only earnestly hope that the Russians may, in this instance, have spoken the truth. If from the figures 1,544 lumped together as "killed and missing," we may safely deduct at least 600 as not killed, the carnage, though still immense, becomes leas frightful. Still, assuming that there were but 900 killed, it is impossible, according to all known calculations, to admit that there can have becn so few as 1,64 4 wounded. The ge pro portion is 5 wouuded men to 1 killed in a pitched battle, and 4tolin an assault. At Alma and Inker soan there was no great deviation from this propor tion. In the present instance, the English returns show that out of upwards of I,oeo men wounded, there were but 114 killed. It is difficult, therefore, to believe but that the number of French troops hors do combat, in the commonly received sense of the term, must have been at least between 4,000 and 5,000. I have received from a good private source a statement of the losses sustained in the taking of the Mamelon Vert on the 7th, Bth, and 9th, and which have never been officially announced. They amounted to 2,700 killed (of which number 57 were officers), and nearly 4,000 wounded. This was, indeed, as Ge neral Pelissier sap, " Asses sensible." I believe it to be quite certain that among the killed on the 18th were the two generals of division, Mayran and Brunet. There was a dead calm at the Bourse. Scarcely any business was done. The Rente only varied 5e., closing with a fall to that extent at 661 r. 60c. A despatch dated Bucharest, June 21, arrived here late this evening by way of Vienna, states that the Allies have gained an advantage. Vienna despatches, however, manufactured as they almost always are for Bourse purposes, are suspicions. The Emperor goes to-morrow, or after to-morrow, to Ville Neuve I'Etany, near Sceaux, where he bought a country house last year.

Shortly after 12 o'clock Sir John Dean Paul, Williams Strahars, and Robert Makis Bali were placed at the ber, before Mr. Jardine, for the formal purpose of being again remanded till Wednesday next, upon the charge of defraud , ing Dr. Griffith of 22,0001. Ss curious were the public to pet a glimpse of the de feadants, that the senile for admission was literally violent. Mr. Humphries, solicitor, attended for the proseentioa, l end Mr. Parry as counsel for Mr. Bites. In the absence Mr. %Dentine, the other defendants were represented by their solicitor, Mr. Lewis. Mr. Humphries said it was not his intention to do more than apply for the further remand of the prisoners, in accordance I Iwith the arrangement made between counsel and the court M the last examination. Mr. Parry said, on behalf of Mr. Bates, he had no opposition W offer, nor any application to make on the present occasion. Its simply desired to state that when the proper time arrived fire doing it, be should be fully prepared to show that, what ever had been his client's faults or failings (and he was not there to deny, palliate, or diecusa them in any way I whatever), Mr. Bates was perfectly free from any criminal l misconduct, and would be completely exonerated from the charges now preferred against him. He believed his learnld friends who represented the other members of the firm were equally prepared to establish the claim of their clients to an acquittal in this case. He felt bound to my thus much in public in consequence of the manner in which the subject bad been discussed in the leading articles of some of our most infiamtial journals, and the very natural excitement which prevailed in the public mind. Mr. Lewir, in the absence of Mr. %Dentine, could only say, that as regards Sir John Paul and Mr. Straiten, he also felt perfectly certain that they would be able to furnish a full, esinflete, and satisfactory answer to the present cri• urinal charges against them. Confident in this view of the ultimate result of the present proctedings, he should not oppose a farther remand. Mr. Humphries did not think it necessary to notice these remarks in the present stage of the cuss. Ho hoped the an swer to these charges would be as satisfactory as the learned gentlemen seemed to promise. Mr. Jardine—Let the case stand adjourned, then, till next Wednesday, at the same hour. The prisoners were then renszved from the dock, and af terwards taken back to the House of Detention in the cus tody of the governor. M ARLBO ROC K• STREET. SINOULAII CASE OF DisSzaTioN. Joseph G gbling, a private, belonging to the 2nd battalion Grenadier Guards, was charged before Mr. Hardwick with having deserted from his regiment under the following circumstances : It appeared that the defendant had been to the regiment rather more than twelve years, and bad been at Alma and 'Airmails. At the latter he was severely wounded. After the battle he was conveyed to Scutari, and ultimately inva lided home. A few days after he arrived, be, in a drunken fit, struck his corporal, and, being fearful that the latter would report him, he deserted. Corporal Mukall, 2nd battalion Grenadier Guards, said, I I from information he received, he went last night to the l Elephant and Castle, Oaford•market, where be saw the pri user, and charged him with being a deserter. Prisoner at once admitted it. Witness then called a constable and gave him in charge. No report whatever bad been made against the prisoner. A colour sergeant here stepped forward, and said he was requested by Colonel Foley to ask his worship to be kind enough to allow the defendant to return to his regiment. Er. Hardwick at once consented, and defendant kit the smut with the sergeant. SOUTHWARK. ASSAULTING THE POLICIL Two powerful looking young men, named Gregory and' , reeling, were brought before Mr. Seeker, charged with assaulting the police. Donald Nichol, police constable 128 hi, said he was ea ditty in High-street, Southwark, about two o'clock dile morning, when he heard a disturbance. He proceeded le I I Ike spot from whence the noise proceeded, and saw the ini tialer Gregory acting in a very riotous manner.

Orense and other deputies brought forward motions for adding to the bases of the constitution, already adopted, others declaring that liberty of in struction and universsl suffrage should be accorded; but after a discussion they were all rejected. The Gazette states that the government is acquainted with the projects of the Carlists abroad—that, for example, they had purchased 400 carbines in Belgium, and have contracted for 2,000 more, &c. The same journal announces that the government had remitted to its financial agent, in Paris, for the payment of the dividends on the foreign debt, a draft for 1,000.000 fr. on Messrs. Uribarres, of Paris, one of 35,0001. sterling on Messrs. Murrieta, of London, and one of 130,0001. sterling on Messrs. Rothschild. The rest, it adds, will be forwarded without delay. Rumours of the retirement of the Minister of Finance and of other ministers were cur rent, but they were unfounded.

The Grand Duke Nicholas has just reviewed the troops at Helsiogfors and Abo, and inspected the for tifications of Sweaborg. The English fleet is dispersed, and cruising along the coast of Finland. THE CRIMEA. The Russian Government publishes a despatch from Prince Gortchakoff, dated the evening of the 19th, praising his troops, and announcing that the fire of the allies had all but ceased. A small Russian reinforcement of infantry is moving down to Sebas topol. Owing to the difficulty of feeding large corps is the Crimea since the operations of the Allies in the Black Sea, the Russian government has given an increased extension to the camp at Nicolaieff, assem bling there the divisions which would otherwise be encamped in the Tauric Peninsula. Advice, from Paris state that no further assault on the Malakhoff batteries is expected to take place until French breaching batteries, in course of construc tion in front of the Mamelon, are ready to open fire. The inconveniences of divided command before Sebastopol have been forced anew upon the attention of the French government, but no solution of the difficulty has yet been discovered. Letters from Odessa state, that fears are enter tained there that the Allis', having completed their work in the Sea of Azoff, will visit, for the same reasons, the mouths of the Dnieper, as well as Kherson and Nicolaieff, at the emb Amhara of the Bug, which, since the 24th ult., have become of more importance than ever to the Russian commissariat , and where the Czar has ships and naval establish ments. A reconnaissance of Perekop is also again spoken of. RUSSIAN ACCOUNTS. THE EVACUATION OF ANAPA. The St. Petersburg journals, of the 19th, contain accounts of the visit of the Allied fleets to Mariopoul and Gheisk. The attack on the former place is described as a " criminal affair," and Lieutenant- Colonel Ksstrukoff, in mentioning the probability of another attack on Taganrog, says: " Having every reason to suppose that our barbarous enemies are not yet satiated with their work of pillage 'and ruin, I am taking measures to prevent them from setting foot upon our sacred soil." Aide-de -Camp General Khomontoff writes that on the 7th the enemy's fleet approached Temruk, but a strong wind, which increased on the Bth to a tem pest, obliged them to take to the sea. During this time vessels of various sizes, detached from the fleet, took soundings at different points of the Sea of Azoff. A Second Extraordinary Supplement of the hive. - - - - lids Busse has the following: NEWS FROM TILE TERRITORY OF THE COS SACKS OF THE BLACK SEA. From the month of Marsh last year, at the moment of the entry of the enemy's fleets into the Black Sea, the sup pression of the greater part of the fortifications of the coast has been recognised as indispensable, these points having been occupied • for the sole purpose of keeping the moun taineers of the coast in order, and not for defence against t h e powerful fleets of the maritime powers of &trope. A m apa and Novoroesiisk only wore garrisoned, and them places, from the reason that, having safe communion dons by land with the line of the Caucasus, they might be readily evacuated U events of the war requi Now thaigtho enemy has occupied Hatch end Yesikeld, and has a strong fleet with troops on hoard ready for dia. embarkation, in close vicinity with Amapa end Norm siisk, be might ht a very abort time have leaded his forms upon the Carries sort, sad so have pat our fortresses in a position of Moaner danger.

Actuated by these considerations, Aids-de-Camp Grad Khomostoff, Holman i ns terns of the Cossacks of the Den, who commands litchis( in the territory of the Cossacks a the Black Sea, resolved oa the 29th ult. to first evacuate Novo :modish, as the point furthest removed from the Kouban, and then to raver a council o af war, to doeide up to what point it was indispensable oou the occupation of insp.

" , ,ipt4! THE PRICE OF THE SUNDAY TRADING IT was Queen CAROLINE, we think, who asked Sir Ronan WALPOLE what it would cost to inclose St. James's-perk, with a view to exclude the public from it. " Madam," the Premier is said to have replied, "only a Crown." It were to be wished that our present Premier had the courage to give a similar hint to Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR and his lordly abettors in Sabbath legislation. But Lord Pauteitsrox, though he gave a curt enough reply to the poor Presbyterian clergymen of Scotland when they petitioned him for a feet, does not venture to speak in the same strain to aristocratical masters of boroughs. Yet the shoals on which the section of the aristocracy, represented by the promoter of the Sunday Trading Bill, is bent upon driving us, are quite as dangerous as those towards which Queen CAROLINE would have steered but for the warning 1 voice of a sagacious Minister. These men propose nothing less than to compel by Act of Parliament the great majority of the people of England to change the habits of life which have provaili.d among them for many generations. If Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR bud ever returned from Richmond by water, on a Sunday sum mer evening—we beg his pardon for the monstrous supposition—he would have seen the banks on either side covered, the whole way, with family parties, arrayed in their beat attire, walking or seated in tea-gardens and before taverns. It is ten to one that in the course of his peeve he would not have witnessed one unseemly gesture or heard one angry word. Had lee lingered at Hungerford-stairs, he would have wit.' I mused one steam boat after another disemboguing its I living cargo, and have convinced himself that all were sober—hilarious indeed, but conversing io under-tones, betokening a decent restraint imposed upon themselves out of respect for the day. Let us farther suppose that Lord ROBERT, before proceeding to Richmond, bad taken a walk through the streets of London about the time that morning service in our churches and chapels ends. He would have seen numbers of men, women, and children issuing from the bakers' ahem carrying little roasts of meat with potatoes baked beneath, or from the beershops with pots of ale or porter. Had be followed any of the parties so burdened, he might have seen families who rarely have a moment for social converse during the week, assembled round their humble boards, cultivating the domestic affec t dons. On inquiry he would have learned that the attendance of a couple of baker's lads and a couple of tapmen enabled some twenty or thirty families to enjoy this Sunday dinner without the trouble of cooking it. The labour of three or tour men for a few hours enabled a hundred or a hundred and fifty persons to rest on the Sabbath. The individuals thus released from eare and labour may not have need their rarely re earring leisure exactly in the way Lord ROBERT would approve of; but at least they had an oppor tunity of doing so which otherwise they could sot have bad. It is, moreover, highly probable that Lord ROBERT, in the houses he visited, would have seen newspapers lying about that had been purchased that morning. Now, we are not going to ask Lord ROBERT to admit that all these things are right and proper ; but we maintain that they cause no public scandal, lead to no breach of the peace, are not inconsistent with honesty, sobriety, and well regulated labour. The people who act as we have described have done so all their lives, and their fathers and grandfathers before them. They see no harm in it ; few of them have even heard it alleged that it is wrong. It is their drop of honey in their bitter draught of life. And all of a sudden they find themselves debarred from such simple enjoyments under vexatious penalties, by the instru mentality of men who enjoy a monopoly of political power. Does Lord ROBERT expect that such an attempt to revolutionise the habits which have been striking root in a people through long generations can be endured with patience? Does be think that no inquiries will be made as to whether the class to which he belongs solemnise the Sabbath in the same ascetic fashion that he would compel the less wealthy classes to do? Let last Sun day's assemblage in Hyde-park answer him. Eng lishmen of all ranks, so far from disliking persons of gentle birth, are but too apt to be deferential to them in excess. This holds good of all classes : even the Chartist movement suffered because the working classes preferred gentlemen, like FEAROUS O'CONNOR and Dr. JOHN TAYLOR, for leaders, to men of their own class, like LOVETT and CoLures. The humblest artisan among us, if left quietly to enjoy himself in his own way, grudges no man his carriage, horns, grooms, fine pictures, or sumptuous fare. But ear recent Sabbath legislation has stirred up thou sands of this good-natured, lord-admiring people to desert their usual Sunday haunts and pursuits ter the sole purpose of jeering and insulting the aristocracy. This opposition to his lordly will bee only made Lord ROBERT more intent upon carrying his Sunday Trading Bill. Against national conviction a and habits laws are inoperative. He and his abettors had better take warning in time. To inclose St. James's-park would have cast a dynasty its crown ; to condemn our tradesmen and artisans to fasting and moping on Sundays may cost our peers their coronets. We know our aristocracy too well to believe them capable of desisting from what they think to be eight out of personal fear; but though they are too proud to shrink from danger to themselves, there is no shame in their being reluctant to expose others to danger. A storm of popular exasperation, which should sweep them from their places, would not pass harmless over humbler heeds ; and if they will reflect they cannot bat perceive the unreasonableness of the course they are pursuing. They haws an undeniable right to net upon their own convictions —they have a right (we might say it is their duty) to endeavour to persuade others to act in the way they believe to be proper; but they have no right to compel those who do not think as they do to ant as if they did. Even on the assumption that their views of religion are the true ones, they ought to know that only the voluntary mace is acceptable in the eyes of GOD. Human laws and penalties cannot make men religious; they can only make them hypocrites or malcontents —that is all. —Daily News.
