I , the intention of her Majesty's goveenseat in regard to the varioes bills which an now before the hew. The number of them lie certainly very considerable; bat those who have looked at them with a view to ensiles*. will see that *me children whose fats tote be disposed of an, in • great repos'. tin, the effspriag of private members; and those in regard to • hin the government Gan claim responsibility are, ens pantively, &small propoition of the whole. It is, therefore, with these oily that the government can deal. Of course, we do not ptomain to take it upon ourselves to dispose of bills that hue been brought is by private members ;how and it will be for them to judge , as they are responsible, far they think they have a fair chance of carrying themi Omagh, and at what period they may think it moot cos ening to pressed with them. There are of government measures 33 in different stags' of pogrom, independently of imagnaasee bills, sod abate sent down from the Rouse el Leeds. I should only b e occupying time uneeassearily by medieg through the list of them. Some of them are ran 1111111111 whisk are of comparatively small intoner, tr which mould not give rise to much discussion. There are °then of considerable importance, which the government con dign it is essential to peas, whatever discussions may like place upon them. Amuse these I should mention the bills upon the sabjeet of limited liability and partnership ; the bills of my right ho e .n frien t d the Preadult of the Board of Healt h u p on the govnmen of the metropolis, and upon the provision to be made for the pineal of nuisances sad the preservation of the public health ; one einem the bill which provides for the transfer of the property in Ordnance lands from that board, which has now ceased to sant, to be vested in the Seeretuy of State for the War Department. These measures of course are emoted, end we must endeavour to pus them. It will be best perhaps that I should state those which we think it will not be desirable to press on the attention of the house this credo& ; and thy, first will be the Jaren and Juries Bill for Ireland, which now stands for the second reedit*. The Secretary for Ireland thinks that bill might stand over for another session. Oa the same principle the bill for grand jury sessions In behead, which stands for the snood reading, will not be premed. With regard to the Education Bill, it is gnerally understood that all the bills counted with that subject which stand for the second reedieg will, if the house should agree to read them a second time, be referred to a select committee, not with the view of ring this session, brat to have the opinion of a committee to their gourd sad aggregate object. Therefore thateLV together with the bill of the right hon. baronet eneeeite, and of my right hog. friend the member for Man ehastar, it would of norm be proper to press on to the second reediag, to be referred to the select committee. Next comes the Testamen:ary Jurisdiction Bill. Now, it was clearly nniiinstood, and the Chancellor stated co in the other house, that that bill should be coupled with a bill for church die *line. Various circumstances have hitherto prevented the government from presenting to parliament a sufficient and satisfactory. bill on this subject; and at this advancedose period of the session I think it is hopeless to suppose th bills could elicit sufficient discussion to justify the house in passing them. We therefore do not mean to press the Testamentary Jurisdiction Bill. (Cheers.) There is, thee, the Court of Sessions Bill for Scotland, which, although it has reached a very gleamed stage in this house, give vies, we know, to a very considerable difference of opinion ; and in deference to that, we intend not to press it in the present session. So much for the government bills in different stages of progress. With regard to the continuance hills, they are mostly matters of a mere temporary form. There is a bill for the continuance of the Metropolitan Sewers Commission, which, of coins, will drop, because the bills of my right hen. friend the President of the Board of Health would supersede the present Commission of Sewers, and render, therefore, its continuance unnecessary. There are seven bills come from the Lords which I hope the house will seriously consider. It is not our intention to withdraw any of those bills. Then come 36 bills of private members. There is one bill, the Tenants' Compensation ;Limited) Bill, which the government will supp art, and it is is &audition from which we hope the house may be dis posed to pus it with the amendments and improvements that may be made. That is as far as we can at present state it the view of the business before the house, and I should hope that there yet remains sufficient time in the session to pats into law those bills that I have not mentioned as being withdrawn. I may at the same time Ray that at this time of the session, considering the importance of the govern ment measures still under consideration, it will be utterly im possible for her Majesty's government to yield to applicatihus that may be made to alto to give goveenment days for the Ipurpose of bringing ware the hon. gentleman's bills or modem', and therefore those gentlemen who have bills before the house must make up their minds as to the course they will pursue. Er. DISRAELI said, when he made an inquiry the other aid* of the noble lord, the noble lord said that the house was kidebted to private members for the pressure of bug. NIL The motile lord had repeated to-night that, although Ogee gm a considerable number of government bills in the mew of passing through the house, the pressure of busi ant lathe house was to be attributed ts tee bills of private members. But he could not find, on again recurring to these authorities which were on the table of the house, and which were open to anyone, that the noble lord was at GU justified in the tone that be assumed the other .{Shot, a^el which he had amused again to-night. These were the details. He did not stop to inquire how =rue continuance bills, and the house would judge the pressers of business was occasioned by private memben. They had of bills not yet read a second time 28 government bills, and 17 brought in by private members ; of bills in committee 22 government bills, and 12 brought in by private members; of bills, as amended to be considered, there were 4 private members, and by government bills none ; of bills not yet read, there was an equal number by private members and by government, namely, 3. There were, therefore, 63 goverment bills, and only 36 of private mem- I bore, mekieg all 89 bills that the house had to consider. The number of orders of the day had increased since he obeervations on Friday ; there were then 74 sal sew there were 89, to which must be added 'we stemma debates. The noble lord had referred to the coetlinianee bills, wi ich would not give by any means a majority to be attrioutsd to private members. He should like to kilo!, what the noble lord inteaded to do with the Chapel. Bill. Sir G. GREY—It is a Lords' Bill. Mr. DISRAELI proceeded. The noble lord would of comae proceed with all the other government bias, and .bids were is number, be thought, 22. He understood from the noble lord to night that he had gives up one of the bills for which the third reading had been fixed. As time was so pinion', it was very much to b• regretted that her Majesty's ministers should have lost so much time by going on with that bill, the Court of Session (Scotland) Bal. However, he rose merely to vindicate what he had before said, that of the 76 orders of the day the great ma jority wen government bills. Load R. CECIL observed that the noble lord said he would not give • government night to any private member. The Education Bill of the right hon. gentleman the member for Droitwich was not a government bill ; did he intend to give a government night for that ? He protested against these education bills being pushed forward at this piod of the session for the purpose of referring them to a select r odm mittee. Lord PALMERSTON said the hon. member forgot that cue of there bills was introduced by the noble lord the member for the City of London. LOAN TO THE TURKISH GOVERNMENT. Mr. RICARDO asked whether it was the intention of 'oversewed to guarantee a loan to the Turkish govern ment, and if so whethet the noble lord would bring the matter before the house, and in what form ? Lord PALMERSTON—I beg to say that when her Ma jesty's government have a communication to make they will make it. It is not their duty to answer prospective questions of that sort. Mr. M. GIBSON—As it Is likely that there will be consi derable opposition to the old system of subsidising, I hops that the noble lord will give ample notice of any such media. THE SUNDAY TRADING BILL. Mr. OTWAY—May I ask the noble lord not whether he will give any assistance to any private member to pass a bill , bat with reference to the obstructions that he may place in their way, and whether he will take any measure to induce the noble lord the member for Middlesex to withdraw his bill, called 'he Sunday Trading Bill. (General cheering.) Lord PALMERSTON—I do not intend to interfere with that bill at all, but leave the house to dispose of it as it may think flt. (Hear, hew.) THE LOSS OF LIFE IN THE RECENT OPERA LIONS IN THE CRIMEA. Mr. SCOTT asked whether there was any truth in the rumour that this afternoon government had received further information of the events that had recently occurred in the Crimea beyond what appeared in the morning papers. Lord PALMERSTON—Her Majesty's government have received to day a list of the officers who are killed and wounded, which I have no doubt has by this time been com municated to the Gazelle. I may date that the whole number of non-commissioned officen and men killed was 144, and of wounded 1,058, making altogether 1,202 non commiisioned officers and men killed aneTwounded. The number of officers killed and wounded was 93, making a total of 1,296. THE PRESS AT GIBRALTAR. In answer to Mr. Baton?, Lord J. RUSSELL said the despatch in reference to the I press at Gibraltar would be laid on the table of the house to a few days. VICTORIA GOVERNMENT BILL. The hoses then went into committee, and mended to disease the clauses of the above bill, whieh was carried through a stage, after considerable dissuades, without andergoing any sooditioation of importance. The New Synth Wales G eeeee meat Bill, and the Waste Lands (Australia) Acts Repeal Bill were also poised dem* eommittee. The Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Bill wee read • second time. ENCUMBERED ESTATES COURT. In reply to Lord N•ae, Mr. BOWMAN stated that his kan.trisedthe General would in a few days introdues a 11.

But, in the lITSIII ei OM bill not being likely to peas, he should bring la a bake repose lot eindening the pressed act fee one year. The Muss &disarmed at a quails? Mat saes IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

Contain BUNCOMBE asked the right hos. baronet, the FM: Lord of the Admiralty, whether be had seen any fur ther despatches about the Llano massacre, and what step lad been takes by Admiral Diandu to bring that strait tinder the notice of the Russian inthoeities ? 8:r C. WOOD re plied that he had great pl e asure in I sating, that the Admiralty bad received that very morning I desplebes from Admiral Dosdas, announiag the steps. which be bad taken ; and also giving the most woken* is- Jellison* that many of the persons whom we sup posed to have been hided, from the account given by the only survivor who was rescued, were. although wounded, ur n st n killed, and that some of them were not even wounded. Admiral Dundee sent a letter to the Governor of lieleingfore, stating what had taken place, and semonatrating m ,at properly upon the subject, pointing oat whit an atrocious act it was to fire upon the boat's crew under the eircematences detailed in those despatches which he (Sir Coarlea Wood) read the other night, and Ad mint Dundee received an answer from the governor of Melsiegfora, excusing and justifying, to • certain extent, what had taken place, and declaring that the officer and the soldiats said that they saw no flag of truce, and that they had been tricked by our vessels, upon some tensions, hoisting the Russian flag, and, as reported in the news viten, under cobalt of • flag of trues, taking sound lege elsewhere. The house would remember that the Tus tin' was asked of him (Sir Charles Wood) a little while ago, whether he had any reason to believe that such • thing had taken place ; and the answer which he then game was, that so far as any report which had maned the Admiralty was coseerned, no such transudes lad takes place. That mondial; (yesterday) he had the satisfaction of 'Meg the officer who commanded the gunboat, in which the flag of truce was hoisted in the bay of Kertch, when that transaction was reported by the newspapers to have taken place ; and that officer assured him, most distinctly and most unequivocally, that nothing of the kind was ever done—(cheers)—tbat the cartage, which was restored to the Ru:siast officer, was taken ashore by • Rusin but, under charge of a Russian officer, accom panied by one of the Driver's boats, under the eye of the Russian officer, and that nothing of the kind had taken place—that it was overly unnecessary that it should have been done, for there was not the slightest dial coley is their taking soundings at the spot in question by night or by day; and that the place where the 'ge was to be landed wee pointed out by the Russian officer, and the carriage taken on shore by him; therefore, there could act be the slightest doubt that the story, such as it was, was totally and utterly destitute of foundation. (Cheers.) DISABILITIES OF MEMBERS. Mr. T. DUNUON:BE asked the Attorney-General whe ther, under the provisions of the Act 22nd George 111., chapter 4i, • sew writ ought not to be issued for the City of Landoll, in the room of Baron Rothschild, who had since his election entered into a contract for the public service, a copy of which had been laid before the house ? He referred to the contract which Baron It atbschild bad en teted into with the Lords Contursaioners of her Majesty's Treasury, for a loin of 16 million. sterling. He said that the house mast be a ware that in 178'2 there was en act pasted to disable all contractors with the Crows or the go vernment of the day from sitting or voting in that house. That act was Paned to MOOTS the freedom and independence of parliament. Now, Lost the requests and repunsentations Which had been made to him (Hr. Buncombe), and from the legal opinions which be had received, he thought he 'haul& be justified at once in moving for • new writ for the City of London, in the room of Baron Rothschild, who had entered into this contrac.. But not ending to do anything which might seem harsh or disimartents to an honourable member of that house, he thought it right to pat this questios int to the Attorney-General; and he should be satisfied if, in the boo. and learned gen tlesn's °plain, he could state that Baron Rethschild's seat was affected by his having enured into this loan con trite with the government (Hear hear.) 'Abe ATTORNEY GENERAL —It appeals to me shat the queens Is cue which it is for the house to answer, sad not far the Attorney-Oeneral. If the question should.... before the house in a practical shape, it will be my duty, so doubt, coseidering the office I fill, to state my opisiou ; but 1 do not Oink I (sight to newer inn • speculative wage involving the right of an honourable member to a seat in this h mot. If, for his own guidance, my hon. frlead wishes for my 'vision, he knows that there b a certain mode by which it can be obtained. (A laugh.) Mr. MALINS observed that after the din riles ups administrative reform, when the hon. sembee Ave ?pea wont had made his statement, the hoses venal semember that until times in the speech of the FPI Lend ef the Admiralty, the right boo. gentleman did, set be reedy, bat ems might say almost directly, charge the bes. somber forTyannoutk with being interested in gove raiment 'entracte. Now, he (Mr. Millar) thought when any menhir of the house, and particularly *minister of the mess, nee in his place and cheesed another member of that bone with an infr.ngement of such an act of parliament as that which had just been referred to, and which was posed to preserve the purity and iadepen lentos of parliament, that was a cir- Cenlatalith which ought not to be pseud over by the house entirely is silence, and therefore he would now put the ques tion to the right hon. gent:onion whether he had any reason for making • statement amounting certainly to the belief on his part that the hon. gentleman was interested in govern ment contracts ? Sir C WOOD—The statement I made was this, that, with infernos to a putteular vessel, she had been trans ferred to Mr. Gladstone by the bon. Needleman before she was taken up by the government. What I did state was this, that, so far as I knew, the interest of the hon. gen tleman bad been transferred ; but I said that he interfered so much in the management of these vessels that I had every reason to believe he mast be perfectly cognisant of all that' took place about them. Mr T. S. BUNCOMBE then said be should next day (Tuesday), at the eveniog meeting of the house, endeavour to obtain the elision of the Attorney-General, without a fee—(a laugh)—by moving that the Speedier should cause to be issued a new writ for the City of LLoonnd on. Mr. MALINS asked whether the subject was a question of privilege? If it wire so, he should give notice to the hoe. member for Tynemouth of his Intention to bring it before tha house. Tte SPEAKER replied that anything affecting; the Nat of a member of the house was a question of privilege. Mr. MALINS gave notice that, under these einem stances, he should bring forward the motion this day (Tuw day), at the evening sitting. POSTAGE OF FOREIGN LETTERS. Mr. HiLDYARD asked whether it was the practice el the Post-office, when a letter bad been posted in this cons try addressed to Franca with an insufficient number id stun?, upon it, to deface the stamps, so that their vales could not be deducted from the double postage, which wand in suz.la case be demanded? Mr. WILSON answered that it was impossible to Is otherwise consistently with the Post-office mantes the obliteration took place before the letter late the bands of the authorities in France, who as gegenging whether the stamps were sufficient or net; but were entitled in such a case to receive upon 'pp= the Tithe of the stamps. SONS OF SOLDIERS. Colonel NORTH sekcd whether an undertaking was sell given by the late Secretary at War, on behalf of the gown*. meat, that 120 soldiers* sons should he admitted into the asylum at Chelsea, and whether only 50 soldiers' sons ba. been admitted, and what was the cause of the delay, and tB whoa the blame of it was to rest ? Mr. BOUVERIE said that it was stated by the right hes.l gentleman the late Secretary at War, that part of the building was occupied by students in training for regimental schoolmasters, and there was not now room for the full number of children. There was a building in the vicinity, which was begun early this spring; the roof would be on in another fortnight, and It would be completed in three months. BUSINESS OF THE SESSION. Idr. SPOONER asked whether it was intended to go int* committee of supply that night ?

The Monitesr of this day announces that the Minister of War hu rewind the two following de spatches from General Pelimier: M We are actively making approaches towards the Malakhoff Tower. The enemy appears to be min. sively occupied in repairing and strengthening his works. THE HANGO MASSACRE. Accounts were received yesterday at the Admi ralty from which it appears that several of the boat's crew of the Cossack, who were supposed to have been killed, are alive, though prisoners. A complete list is subjoined of the killed, and of the prisoners, both wounded and unwounded : KILLED. Thompson, coxswain of the boat. Cornwall, ordinary seaman. Benjamin Smith, ordinary seaman. Lynn, captain's steward. Joseph Banks. PRISONERS. WOUNDED. John Luton. George Boyle. Joseph Gliddoo, right arm amputated. Thomas Stokes. Lieutenant Louis Geneste. Surgeon Robert E.ilton. Mr. Sullivan. Owen Francis. John Hockey. William Rockelly Francis George. PROGRESS OF THE WAR. Tns intelligence respecting the bolt's crew of the Cossack, transmitted by Admiral DONDAB, which we publish in another column, will afford relief to some anxious hearts. It appears that only five of the crew have been killed, and four wounded; the remainder of those who fell into the hands of the Russians, in• eluding all the officers, are reported to be unharmed. The seaman BROWN, who escaped, would appear to have given an exaggerated account of the amount of casualties, through terror, or insufficient opportunity of discerning, or desire to make his story as impres sive as possible. The atrocity of the firing upon unarmed men, relying on the sacred character of a flag of truce, is not, however, in one jot abated by this new version of the story. Five English seamen have lost their lives, and five (including BROWN) have been more or less severely wounded. As to the fate of the seven unoffendiog Russian subjects, we are left in the dark. And by what right are the surviving officers and men detained as prisoners ? The allegation that the Russians were not aware that the boat carried a flag of truce will not stand examination. It was displayed in the boat at a distance of more than a mile from the shore. Even according to the story is the Invalide Busse, the Russian soldiers were concealed in order to lure the carriers of the flag of truce to land ; and as soon as the Englishmen and their prisoners were within reach they were shot down or captured. The laws of war have been flagrantly violated by the Russians ; and the violation is repeated and aggravated every hour that our countrymen are detained in captivity. From the Crimea also we learn that the English casualties in the repulsed attack upon the Redan were less than Rumour, with her usual tendency to exagge ration, led men to believe. In so far as the officers are concerned, the friends of the fallen and wounded now know the worst, and that is better than the tor tures of uncertainty. The loss, however, has been great, and will carry an abiding sense of desolation to many a hearth. The friends and relatives of the non-commissioned officers, too, must for some time longer endure the agonies of suspense, and they can feel as deeply as those more favoured in respect of worldly rank and wealth. To the mourners the country can only give the very inadequate con solation of deep and sincere sympathy, and assistance to such as are in straitened circumstances. They must be left to the alleviating hand of time, and the reflection that the lost have fallen in the discharge of their duty. are told that Yenikale is to be garrisoned by the Allies, but that Arabat and Genitchi are to be left in the undisputed possession of the Russians. Ia this ease the transport of stores and provisions to the Crimea, though rendered more difficult and cir cuitous, will be still possible. From the vicinity of Genitchi they may easily be conveyed across the Siwaah, at points beyond the reach of the Allied Flotilla. The truth must be told ; for, though it may give a transient encouragement to the enemy, it soems to be the only means by which that pressure of public opinion upon Government, to which alone we are indebted for our recent successes, can be kept up. It is one thing to gain an advantage over the enemy, and another to follow it up to a triumphant issue. The apparent forgetfulness of this maxim by those who have the direction of affairs in the Crimea, in the case of the Kertch expedition, would seem to imply, either that they are deficient in the greatest quality of a general--the abi lity to turn successes to account ; or that there is truth in the rumours of unlucky differences of opinion among Generals equal in authority. The latter, we fear, is the case, for in war divided command rarely prospers. Would it not be possible to place the supreme authority in the Crimea, in the hands of one man, who would thus be enabled to command co operation, where he can at present only invite it Matters went badly in the Peninsula until WELLING TON was invested with the entire and undivided control of operations.—Daily News. NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENTS WITII THE ARMY. Lord ABERDEEN has publicly admitted that he re ceived earlier and more full accounts of the proceed ings in last year's campaign from the correspondents l of the English journals than from official despatches. Even Ministers, therefore,derived benefit from the pre sence of newspaper correspondents with the army. And the nation has derived infinitely greater benefit, for had they not been present, the vacillating, timid, and bungling management which caused such heavy losses and so much suffering would have continued unabated till this day. The public have an interest in facilities being accorded to the accredited and , responsible correspondents of the English journals. Yet now, as from the beginning, every possible obstacle and impediment is thrown in their way. We pub lished some time ago a letter from one of our special correspondents, containing a detailed account of the miserable tracasseries by which he was prevented from accompanying [the expedition to Kertch. By the last Crimean mail we learn that the same obstruc tive game has been played with another of our special correspondents, and that it is only with infinite diffi culty that he has obtained a passage in a vessel char tered by a private individual. For this conduct of the military authorities there can be no possible motive but a desire to maintain that secrecy which is a convenient cloak to cover dangerous neglect and mismanagement. The gentlemen sent to the East by the English journals have proved, by the uniform tenor of their correspondence, that they pos sess judgment and patriotism equal to their ability. They are known in the camp and at headquarters, and are responsible for what they write. All that we ask for them then is, that they shall be treated with the respect and consideration which their high character deserves, and that they shall not be obstructed in the discharge of their important duties. So far, the blame for the obstacles thrown in their way may be supposed to rest with professional pedants in the theatre of war; but if, after this public notice, mat ters are not mended, the responsibility will attach to the heads of the Home Government.—Daily News. AMERICAN NEUTRALITY. [The writer of the fallowing letter has transmitted his name and address.] to THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY NEWS. SlB,—Will you favour me with space in your paper for a few comments upon recent statements from the Martin reference to American ships? The story that the ship Samuel Appleton, of Boston, had landed a cargo of fire-arms at Port Baltic, which makes its appearance every few dam was flatly contradicted by the highly respectable owners of the ship as soon as it reached America. The ship was cleared at Boston for a port in the Baltic last winter. She was loaded with cotton only, and had no firearms or goods contraband of war on board. Her owners, of course, timed her departure for the Russian port to reach there and land her cargo, if pos sible, before the arrival of the blockading squadron, and succeeded in this perfectly legitimate business operation. As their ship had a legal cargo on board, the story of her narrow escape from capture is, of course, bosh. The statement that a powerful screw steam-ship is now buildiog at New York for the Russian government is also an error. It is true, as your Copenhagen correspondent states, that the Rued= government contracted two years ego with an eminent ship-builder of New York for a scree ship capable of carrying 100 guns. She was to be built after plans furnished by the builder, and would doubtless have confirmed his well-earned reputation. Before the ' keel was laid war commenced, and the contract was can , celled, or suspended. At all events, nothing has been done towards her construction since the opening of the war.— Your obedient servant, Lord RAGLAN'S despatch of the 12th inst.—pub lished last night in a Supplement to the Gazette — contains no allusion to the state of health in our, army before Sebastopol. This is to be regretted, as , unfavourable accounts on this head have been re mised in private letters. A considerable amount of mortality is alleged to prevail, especially among the raw levies recently landed. The regiments which are said to have suffered most are represented as being quartered in the immediate vicinity of Bala. klava. This would seem to indicate a persistence in that neglect of due precautions to preserve the health of the troops, which has characterised throughout the MlSlBagement of the expedition to the East.
