SHELLEY asked when the goverment in headed to istrodoes the promised measure for the reform of tias corporation of the City of London, and obi/titer each bill would be founded upon the recommendation of the inamissimen appointed to inquire into that corporation ? It had been stated on • former occasion that the bill would be brought in as eon as the Metropolis Local Management Bill had parsed tbroueb cotton stages. That bill was sow very far advanced. aa the surliest me a very great ha penance, especially to d the ',kabinet& of Leedom. Sir 0. OBEY said that th. bill foe the refine of the eorporatim of the City of London was founded, is its main features, upon the recommendations of the commissioners of inquiry, Filthiest to some soodarations as to details, in which those recommendations would be to a mien Meat departed from. As to the other question, he maidenly say that he certainly bad iat e n ded, and linped to be Maki to any that intention into effect, to submit that bill to the hoses la time to secure for it the coesideration aid atteotioa whit* its importance demanded. But the debates which had vim on subjects of great importance, and had amemerily occupied much of the attenti a a of the house, hod anavoido ably retarded the progress of tenons bill.. The Metropolis Local Mansguseat Bill, nferred to by the hoe. member, was ••• of them ; it had not yet got through committee ; the* it had to be &omit:est through its other stages. Then were also the Australian Constitution Bills, the bills for establi-hing limited liability in partnerships, and the Cam bridge Uoiversiiy Bill, which had just come down from lb. Hon •of Lords. la addition, they knew that the Home of Lords bail passed a resolution deelariog that tiny would not read any bill • second time nem it were a bill of supply, or one rendered setessary by urgent cireurmanees after the 24th of July. He ma bound to say that he thought the public business was rather retarded than slimmed by having•• multitude of important bills before the house at one tinie. (Hear, hear.) Under time eirenmstanots be did sot see any prospect of being able to lay the bEI referred to before the house this srasion—that is, with say hopes of its ~wing. Therefore, it would he introduced at an early period next session. That, he thought, was the best mane to nears its paining. REPORTS OF FACTORY INSPECTORS. . In answer to Mr. hiackatnnx, Sir G. GREY stated that the reports of the inspectors of factories, for the half year ending 30th April last, bad been received is the present month, sad would be presented to the house that evening. MONEY ORDERS FOR THE SEAT OF WAR. In answer to Mr Eunsaaw, Mr. WILSON stated that tbe attention of the Postmaster- General had been directed to the importance of establishing money order posnofficss in Constantinople and in the Crimea ; but the noble lord had funad that there could not he that regularity which must necessarily attend the operations of the Money Order Office, with respect to • camp which was moving,and the arrangements of which must be to some extent uncertain. At the some time, the Post masterGenoral had suggested that some gement might be made for transmitting all sums of money through the cow missariet chest; aad this was nader consideration. DISCOVERY OF THE NORTH-WEST PASSAGE. Mr. MACKINNON gloved for • • select committee to in quire into the circumstances of the expedition to the Arctic Seas, commanded by Captain M'Clure. of the Royal Navy, with a view to ascertain whether any and what reward might be due for the services rendered on that occasion. He referred to the preeedene of Captain Roes who dis covered Boothia, in 1834 ; and in consequence of " the diffi culty of the question a select committee of that home was appointed, woo recommended that Sir James Rose should receive • reward of 6,0001. His discovery was of no benefit, beyond giving • slight increase to our pogrom' ical know ledge. Captain M'Clsre, on the other band, had achieved • mighty discovery, which had been attempted for the last three centuries. The first expedition was made by Babas tins Cabot in 1667, with • view to discover the porthole's' peerage ; and in the present century there had been no leas than 34 expeditions for that object. Every one of them had failed, and some had been attended with a eon,tderabls loss of life. But for the discovery of Captain )(Thin these attempts would have gone es, gad the loss of life would have been still greater. Therefore, en the ground of humanity, the discovery was valuable. Another consideration was the large expenditure which had been incurred in these a:- politicise. In the present century the expense incurred by Sir John Franklin's expeditions, and those sent oat in search of him, from 1818 to the present time, amounted to 837.0001. See what Capiain Welfare had done. He mailed from Eng land in Jam ay, 1860, and after a great many hardships he succeeded in dip:overtop the north-west mange, which would save • great deg of mull and a great missy lives that would othei wise be loft in similar attempts. He would sot at that time go farther into the case, seeing that the Speaker had bees in the chair up to an early hour that morpiag. (Hear, hear.) He should, therefore, content himself wit" simply moving for a select committee. Mr. JACKSON smosided the motion, Admiral W ALCOIT bore testimony to the merits of Captain Wenn. The north-west pump had been attempted 48 times, sad it wee satisfactory to and that it was accomplished at last by idiom sad meta belonging to the British navy. (Hear, hear.) Lord PALMERSTON sold he should give his cordial meat to the motion. (Hear, bear) Great merit was due to Captain M'Clare for the peneverasce, mange, and Deering by which he solved the problem of the aorth-west parer, which had excited the intense ass of naval ma in every part of the world. (Hear, hear. Having iel said so man, he hoped it would be undentood tbe did not wish to prejedise the opinion of the committee on the particular clams of Captain Il'Clare which would be both sajmt to that gallant officer and al soi to the feelings of the ham. He gave his cordial assent, however, to the motion. The motion was then agreed to. THE STA , UTE LAW. Mr. L. KING moved the following resolutions; " That., in the month of March, 1863, a paid onamiasien of dee banisters was appointed by the Lord Chamber, 'ln pioinied without delay in the work of the Consollialim al the Statute Law' (Pint Report, page 200), of whisk ' tie Ant proms would be to secortaia precisely the toot 40 di, statute law, as it then existed, by determining what MIMI@ had been repealed, expressly or virtually, what had expired, and what bed become obsolete or unnecessary in the pa► sent state of society ; whereof a special and detailed report should be made, and should fors the the groundwork of a declaratory bill to repeal such statates, to be introduced, if possible, at the end of the then mina' (Parliamentary Papa-, No. 78, of session 1836) ; and that, in pursuance of `I said commusin, a special and detailed report, embracing sryentire act of the descriptions above mentiosed, and containing in all 10,047 acts, was prepared by Messrs. Aastey and Rogers, two of the said commissioners, and sub mined to the Lord Cbameellor in the course of the same session, under the title of Bapurgstory List, sad by way of Appendix to their joint Minute of the 26th of July, 1863. "That it appears from the papers oommanicated to this d 0•111 by Her Mejarty, that no bill of which the said ex purgatory list is the groundwork has as yet been prepared, although, la an undated report of 1864, made by Mr. Stickful', the cormissioiser to whom (First Report, page 109) ' the task of canful revision by • fresh hand was as agreed, by Mr. Bellsnden Kew, the chief commissioner, the - et itself bas been certified to evince ' the great familiarity his two colleagues with the Statute B olt,' and to came aim ' to feel hardly any doubt that they had sot meted as obsolete soy act which had in fact been repealed,' and although Mr. BeUnden Ker has reported it to be' a vary laborious, useful, sad valuable paper, and to have shown their ladustiy and familiarity with the Statute Bork.

The hon. member said, looking at the general progress of the nation, he must say it was very much behind in the state of its laws, writtea and unwritten, and it was time for Parliament to show its interest in the aglijeet. It was mortuary that the bens law should be repeated from the deed law. At premise stony were breaking the law bemuse they did not know what it was.

ARMY COMMISSIONS. Mr. HEADLAM moved that this house resolve heel( into neranattere Se =Uder of as humble address totter Dia birral=be dra the will lie graciously pleased to direct se ha swede in the rules of the military envies to tits idlest that the regulation value of the commission of M the army dying or having died in active service Inks the pe t war may be paid to their representatives and bsmei part of their personal estate, and to assure her Mow Shot this house will make good the same. The Immo vine aware tbet according to the present state of Wags, if a mon died Is the Nevin, the whole of the money which be had paid for his oosatiesios was gone. Thus It often hap pened that when an officer of reek died, the mustily was Nasally his ,nsisniary debtor. Clearly this was neither just nor right. Is the ease of a liesk-colonal, the account paid for his onsminioa was 4,60 W.„ and if an officer of that rank was killed, it frequently would happen that he bad sot received from the country so much as be had paid for his commission. As as Instance of the injustice of this state of things, let the house madder the cue of • man ordered to leave the service, receiving the value of his COrillitission. From the very facts of the case, each a man mut have sow milted some action rendering him unworthy of retaining his position as an *Meer of her Majesty ; but, if such a man had fallen doing his duty, he would have thereby lost that which a ass who had done wrong was allowed to gain. If the benefit which be asked were granted by the house, it would, he believed, act most benefisially in the service. In the unmet system men were obliged to pay large sums for life insurance, in order weever the risk of wee r commission messy. If the proposal which he made acceded to, this canes of eines* would be removed. Mr. OT WAY seconded the mo ion. The motion was supported by Cul. DIMES, Lord A. PAGET, Cul. NORTE, and Mr. Atha. It was opposed by Mr. P. Pen.. Lord PALMERSTON said the motion of his hos. and leaned friend was only a part of a large and difficult question. It was obvious that it connected itself with a question which had been muck discussed in the house and elsewhere, and that was whether the purchase and sale of commissions ought to be continued. It was a question of great difficulty, and it was impossible—even if it was incited in he sense ia which many people wished it to be decided— t to carry at once, or at any very early period, that onidon into effect. His hon. and learned friend had laboured all through his speech under a misapprehension as to what the system was, fa he argued that the public was a debtor to officers for the sums they gave for their com missions, and if they died is the service, the state came iato possession of the money. That was a mistake ; none of the money same to the state, but it was given to the other officer from whom the commission was purchased, and the state had no gain in the matter when the pur chaser died. To be sure the officer who got the commission was so far a gainer that he got a step without Pei chug, which he would otherwise have bad to pay for, It was a fallacy, therefore, to say that the state was • ciebtor in a pecuniary sense to an officer for the value of a commission which he may have bought. The motion of his hon. and learned friend went to this, that in the present war only, when any officer died, the state was to pay to his ?option , thane the value of any commission he may have purchased. He was st • loss to know how his hon. friend could soya ,. rate the first pasta his resolution from the second, for he did not know from what fond the state was to pay the re presentatives of an officer the money he had paid for his 011uirnaiesion. The money was paid, but it was not received by the government, and it was only out of the public funds that it could be paid to the claimants, and therefore the two parts of the resolution must go together. The ma- Oen of his boa friend required a m good deal of nasideration, and his hon. friend ust see that tale resolution must go far beyond what was sow proposed. It would be an arrangement which he (Lord Palasenton) thought the country would aot object to, and the house would make good, that in case of an officer being killed in salon, he might, before going on service where he might be killed, take hie choice—ember that his family I should receive the pensions given by the regulations, or , allow his representatives to receive tress the public the ' , value of the commissions for which he bad paid. (Hear, hear.) There might be many cases in which it would be t advantageous to the family to receive the sum paid for the t commissions, and in other Cases it would he advantageous fur them to receive the pensions; and whatever additional I expense was incurred he believed the public would closer fully pay, and that house as cheerfully sanction the regula hear)—and that not merely for the presest war. (Hear, bear.) He did not admit such $ distinction 1 as was implied in the motion of his hon. friend. • Our troops now engage 4 on service deserved all that their country could give them in the shape of rewards, but there was nothing so peculiar in this service as to make it a case different to that is which our troop, were engaged in all parts of the world. Any regulation of this eon malt cm- ' ice the servim of our troops in all paste of the world, and thy eircumatatices upon which officers might fall I. the , ozonise of their duty. Then came the other case of those who died, bet nut in action. Toe house ought to mostior the effect of emanate, the regulation to a case of that sett. The regulation ought to emend to the ease of alerts who , MI, in action, let We service be wheresoever it might; bat W it was *acceded to the cases of oilcan dying while merely is the service, what difiersece was there between war and pan? Could you draw a distinction between diseases which ' miginteravinato the life of officers in different puts of the world? The case of an officer who died of fever in the Crimea, was the same as that of an officer dying of fever in the West Indies and the Cape, and you could not draw a distinction between thole Came and that of an offio. r dying at bolas ; so that it would come to be a flatter of all offloers dying while on full pay in the wrens. With regard to the first part of the resolution, the government would willingly adopt such I a regulation as he bad mentiond, namely, that in the case of ell officers killed in actin, a choice should be gives to their families to native the pensions established by the regulations, or the value of any ootamiesiosis they may have bought, or the sum which they would have been entitled to if they bad been mild before their death. (Hear,bear.) The rea- ' son why it should be confined to tatters killed is action was, that any other officer bad an opportunity ti sell out, and his family wield have the value of his commission. He did not admit the ground on which this qeestion bad been argued by his nob e freed (Lord A. Paget), and his hon. and learned friend (Mr. Headians), for they argued the quietism of the purchase of a sounaisaion, as the ground of its bong a commercial speculation He had compared the annuity which might have been pur chased by the sum paid for a eosmis-lon with the income derived from that oommission ; but even is that comparison the nahle lord had brought it to 3141. a year, as compared with 3271., without taking into account the pension to the widow, which ought to be coosidered in the calculation. But he (Lord Palliaerstoa) quite denied that we should look at the motives which induced a man to enter the army or navy, as the ease motives from which he would make as investment in railway shares, or in the Three per Cents., or is a mortgage, or any ether mode of pails/ interest tor his money. The motives which would induce an officer to enter the service were the desire of distinction, the desire of an honoerable condition in life, and of that reputation and consideration which belonged to the military service. (Hear.) He hoped, then, that his hos. and learned friend would be satisfied to leave the question is the bands of the government, with a view to such an ar rmigenseet as that which he (Lord Palmerston) had pointed out ; and when the hoe. and learned gentleman kinked at rwrt e li w tl i i v e arrastagwehmitthresciit:Zenentielnewdliica:dthcos rover?. meat was very ready to establish, he trusted the hon. and learned gentlemen would find that they answered his views. Mr. HBADLAM said that after the discussion which had passed, be thought he ought not to press his motion. (Chem.) He understood the proposal of the noble lord to be this, that every officer hencef. rib should have the option of declaring whether ho would take the. bent fit to be given to his family, in case of his death, under the-new warrant, or whether be would ban for ba family the regulation annuity. After such a great concession on the part of the goverameai, if he understood it rightly, be would not persist in his motion. Mr. OT WAY tint not press for a division, hut wished to have a clear understatiolog LAI the suhj et. He did not so tinily apprehend what had been said by the noble lord. Had the noble lord in any way conceded the principle ot the maim, and would he allow greater advantages to the widows anti orphans or repress n•Ilti•VI of officers who fell in action than they atneent eajthat oyed L o rg pg.LKIWZTON what he meant Miami esia woe this: that be thought it would be right fora reso ld's ft Ito mods by which, as it wee rightly stated by hie hammllitatmod Mind, it should be optimal with the Asir M &Wreaths is his lifetime whether, In the event of his *Whig la Wisp, the family should receive the allowances se _ldlisteirer , they were, now given by the regale. iissnior, In lieu of that, they shout receive the nine IM blimithmi-siee—that was, the twenties value of as.., met the sum be might have actually invested is it Elation was thee withdrawn; and the Click pro , seeded to read the adios at tho day.

Memos, ill. 64a. masow—flocniag, Nu 1411 a Alterman, N. SW& LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20. PARLIAMENTARY HECTORING. Miramar; having agreed to place themselves under the protection of their Tory rivals, for the purpose of evading Administrative Reform, they have contrived to obtain a majority of seven to one. What impression this manoeuvre and its immediate success may have upon the mind of the country, it were premature, perhaps, to any. There are many earnest acd determined spirits on whom such a declaration of parliamentary defiance will act only as a new stimulus, and whose energies will only be the more actively called forth as the necessity for greater and deeper changes than were at first contemplated is forced upon national reflection. As against the claim of the middle classes to • jut share in the administrative government of the State, all the oligarchic factions have shown their readiness to combine. The pretences alleged by each of them varies, indeed, according to their respective antece dents and actual positions. Mr. Dina= spurns the popular demand as imposture, while he patheti cally reminds us of a bantling of his own, of wondrous promise, which wu smothered in its official cradle, when he and his friends were driven from power. With equally parental fondness Mr. GLartsrose tells us of the still-birth of the scheme, whose early obsequies have been elaborately performed by Sir S. NORTRCOTR and Sir C. TREVELTAN ; but whist, had the breath of life been ever breathed into it, would, we are assured, have proved a very Hercules, capable of strangling all the slippery and insidious jobs whose folds now encircle the public interest. On the part of the Whigs, Lord PALMERSTON avers that the favourite I of the people is a foundling of low and disreputable origin ; but that they are nurturing to maturity an offspring of right honourable parentage, whose dress is still, indeed, the old buff and blue livery, but whose usefulness in after•years will be felt and ac knowledged. All concur in supercilious repudiation of the child of the people ; its features indicate ple beian sympathies ; and every aristocrat in the House, with two exceptions, voted accordingly on Monday night that it should be turned out of doors. Of the many long and tedious speeches delivered on the occasion, it cannot be expected that we should speak in much detail. Those of Mr. DISRAELI and Lord PALMERSTON call, however, for some degree of separate notice. The aim of the DERBTITE leader appears to have been to are the opportunity for throwing another flying bridge across the chasm that still separates the Tory seceders of 1846 from the great bulk of their party. Of late there has been nothing but an interchange of compliments between the two ex-Chancellors of the Exchequer. Experience has convinced them both how much they stand in need of each other, and we must do them the justice to say that neither of them has of late been wanting in profuse offers of political hospitality. A delicate controversy, indeed, is still waged between them as to which is to be considered the host and which the guest; but where the tendency to embraoe is so obvious, it is but natural to expect that the objects of mutual affection will advance to meet each other half way. There is more difficulty in finding floating espies which may serve as pontoons and planks for Ilte rank and file to cross. Resistance to Admiois grades Reform, in its real and practical sense, has been seized upon eagerly for this purpose ; and, as we have said, both of the Conservative orators have striven to daub it over with their own peculiar colouring. Mr. GiAncrotez boasts that he designed to make the civil nerviest a separate and exclusive pro- Amiss : Mr. DISRAELI, while affecting claims to prior Morovery, extols the invention, and accepts its development as a pledge. Mr. GLADSTONE bouts that Lord ABERDEEN'S Cabinet was more ari►tocratic than any which had gone before it, and naively reminds is that it was by it that the far-famed Civil Service project was contemplated; • tolerably strong proof, were any wanting, of the oligarchic tendency of the plan. Mr. DISRAELI hardly takes the trouble to deny the exclusive character of the scheme ; and di*- , ides altogether to enter into the question whether 'the esumereial and manufacturing community ought to have any representation at all in the various de pertinent' of its executive government. Thus I the approaching chiefs of the severed sections of Toryism seek to conciliate each other's followers by peeketiog a new plot for the more effectual exclusion of the plebeians. Sprung from the people themselves, they are equally willing, as the condition of personal elevation, to invent new bolts and bars for the defence of oligarchy from within. Competitive examination may or may not be resorted to; but the gist of the fraud which is now sought to be palmed upon us by Peelitea and Derbyites joined is this, that while nominations to subordinate offices are to be retained in the hands of Government as before, no appoint ments whatever are in future to be made from with out, no matter what the claim of merit, or desert, skill or experience in the working ways of the world may be. We have left ourselves but little space to notice the strange harangue delivered by the Patna Mirturrea on Monday night. Tired of playing the buffoon, Lord PALMERSTON now assumes the tone and swagger of a bravo, anti flings about him coarse epithets and vulgar phrases in the hope of damag ing thane who have ventured to tell the truth re garding him, and of deterring others from imitating their example. This septuagenarian hectoring will sot do. The time is past when questions of personal veracity and of public moment could be set tled by a resort to foul language. Lord PAL MERSTON may elicit cheers from his official vassals by brandishing the terse ."false" and "fals► hood" round his mnatorial heed ; but the memory of an insulted people cannot be bullied to sleep *well. The middle slams renumber too painfully ithe penpwerleg . ribaldry and trifling with which . l tediplaist ,uses tnet, day after dry and war* after VA, in the Rouse of Commons: MO.

I . • • We have received the Journal de St. Pelersbourg of the 12th, containing the article in reply to Count Walest ski's circular, noticed in a telegraphic despatch given by the Daily Nem of Monday. The artic3 in question occupies six columns. From the opening observations of Count Wa lewski's circular, the inference is drawn by the Bt. Petersburg journal, that throughout the period in which the late Emperor Nicholas was striving to ar rive at a general peace, the Allied governments were intent only upon the more vigorous prosecution of the war, and it is suggested that this fact explains the delay until March in the opening of the Con ferences, and the hesitation—not to say extreme re pugnance—with which Baron de Bourqueney and Lord Westmoreland gave ear to the preliminary ne gotiations. The Journal proceeds to examine the reference, in Count Walewski's circular, to the independence of the Principalities, contrasting the deplorable situation of those provinces previous to the treaty of Adrianople with their condition under the provisional administra tion of Count kisseleff. Russia's object is declared to be achieved when the free regime of the Principalities obtains the sanction of public European law, by the collective guarantee of all the great powers. " Such is the result in which our plenipo tentiaries had an honourable share. In approving the acts which they have signed, the Imperial Cabinet regards this question as terminated." On the second point, the navigation of the Danube. the Russian Plenipotentiaries were also at one with the representatives of the Allied Powers. It was the Russian administration ,says the Jourrsat,which opened to the freedom of commerce one of the most magnifi cent markets in the world; and it then proceeds to contend that the facts show that Russia did not abuial her privilege—at any rate, it was not necessary to spill the blood of France and England to overcomes the few existing obstacles. The Journal, passing to the consideration of the Fourth Point, expresses regret that the Third—which possessed such a grave interest to all Christians--was postponed, because " we longed to satisfy ourselves that the intentions of the Russian Cabinet co incided with those of France and England." It is then remarked: If we are to judge by the remarks contained in the circu lar of May 23 (Count Walewski's) there existed a certain di vergence of view between the French Cabinet and ours. Al Paris the political question predominates ; in other words the fourth guarantee is specially considered in relation tc the influence which the great Powers exercise in the East At St. Petersburg the religions sentiment, the national 4entiment of the country, outweighs the considerations be longing only to the domain of panties. Under the influ ence of this conviction, the principal object whiob the Russian plenipotentiaries were directed to keep in view, was to arrive at a peace by which the liberty of worship, and the amelioration of the condition of the Christian popula tions, subject to the domination of the Ottoman Empire should be placed for the future under the safeguard of collective Act, sanctioned by European law. If the efforts of all the Powers tended towards the sal end, nothing would be more easy than to clothe this i with the forms deemed necessary to secure for the Sultan the merit of a spontaneous Sovereign will manifested in P . your of his Christian subjects. In this respect wish as ouch as France and England to arrange for the Sultan the opportunity of giving himself up, to use the words of the circular of May 22 to the most generous inspirations." The intention of the Russian Cabinet assuredly is not "to in Turkey all useful reforms, or to exci e the populations against their sovereign." It is with toes@ that we reproduce this expression from Count Walewski's despatch, conscious o the importance which all governments attach to making this doctrine respected not only is Turkey, but everywhere eke. We arrive at the revision of the treaty of 1841. That which surprises us at first is, that the French Cabinet bee completely paned over in silence the results already obtained in determining this amicably. In our opinion the most useful guarantee for assuring the repose of the Levant is not to be sought. It is found. The Plenipotentiaries, reunited in conference on April 19, established it unani mously under the form of an engagement, conceived in these terms If a conflict arises between the Sublime Pc and one of the high contracting parties. the two States. fore resorting to the employwnt of foroe, shall put other Powers in the way of preventing such an extremity pacifiz. means." This stipulation, to tell the truth, ought to put an end t.. all further diseuuion. The foresight of the Cabinets would be unable to go beyond the pledgee of security contained this engagement. The principle of perfect reciprocity racterising this stipulation renders it equally reassuring h ble for all the contracting powers. After this gua. mates given to the preservation of the Ramps= eqe Orism, Is it necessary to prolong the calamities of war, order to seek for ampler material precautions ? It is upon this rock that the negotiations at Vienna spilt. We feel more regret than surprise. The human mind cannot create impossibilities. It risks failure in its enterprises wr it attempts to go beyond. This truth applies to the xr vial g tees with which it has been sought, more once at other peel xis, to surround political transactions. In a similar spirit the St. Petersburg Journal alludes to the circumstances under which the Fourth Point was rejected, expressing the sentiment that is neither to the interest of Russia nor of the Allies that hostilities should continue, and that this safer guarantee for peace than any question of bees in the Black Sea. It is urged that Russia a direct interest in the maintenance of peace in Levant, and the rise of hostilities is attributed to t existence of " a predominant influence at Constani, nople, which judged the moment favourable for rege nerating the Ottoman Empire by a warlike start. The Russian plenipotentiaries went as far as " could when, at the Conference, they proposed (lately, the opening or the closing of the Sea. The limitation of the number of Ru. noels is declared to be inadmissible; bat the Jr nal says that the time is not come for discussing I point with proper calmness. After again putting the question, whether upon conditions already agreed to peace might not at be concluded, the article closes as follows : Thus the blame of the rupture falls upon the Western Powers. Their unwillingness hes put an end to the negotia• hone. It is not the Russian Cabinet which is responsible. - en one side it has opposed to Freres sad England the resolution not to agree to demands exceeding the limit down from the opening of the Conferences, on the other, has offered to friendly powers the proof of its sincere desii to contribute loyally to a peace conformed to the sentiment of the dignity of Russia. Constant in these principles, ' will leave the way open to an honourable reconeiliatic when the desire of peace shell be more generally felt France cad in England—when experience shall have lightened the two countries upon the mistakes of a without object and a ha:red without c lose. It will be muted then to resume, with the hope of success, negotia- tions for assuring to Europe the benefit, too long looked, of g 1 repose. Zs . , 7:writ - a; .16841 111.

Her liejtety then inspected the invalids at Brampton Bamako and the Cabernet's, and went over the Mariae Hospital. Nearly one thousand get and wounded men were seen by the Qseeo,who questioned many of those who had suffered moat 'evenly as to the actions in which they had bees wounded, and the nature of their injuries. The Queen returned at halfpest seven o'clock to Buck highs m Palate. Prince Leopold took a drive in an open carriage and four. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, with the Princess Royal and the Princess Alice, honoured the Royal Italian Opera with their presumes in the evening. The Royal suite con sisted of Lady Churchill, Hon. Mary Seymour, Lord Byron, Majer-General the Hon. C. Grey, and Captain the Hon. D. de Roe. - -- Lady Churchill has succeeded the Duchess of Wellington as the Lady in Waiting to the Queen.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO FORT PITT AND THB SUPPLEMENTAL HOSPITAL, BROMPTON BARRACKS. Although the intelligence arrived so late on Mon day evening, of her Majesty's intention to confer the loog anticipated visit upon her brave soldiers, composed nearly of every regiment of the cavalry and line, looted in Fort Pitt, Brompton, and Bt. Mary's Barrack, the orders for tt e Queen's reception were despatched with so much celerity to the respective hospitals, that every ward was in the most perfect state for the inspection of her Majesty. The welcome news soon spread amongst the invalids, and throughout the hospitals were to be seen faces teeming with delight. Upon her Majesty's carriage approaching the drawbri !go of Fort Pitt, where Lieutenant Breedon, 25th Regiment, 2 ser geant*, and 40 rank and file, were stationed, a royal salute burst forth from the guns of the Spur Battery. The mia mations of the assemblage were moat loyal, enthusiastic, and prolonged, during the entrance of her Majesty and the royal cortege. Her Majesty's carriage drawing up to the entrance to the hospital, a numerous staff received the Queen, who, with evident marks of pleasure, most gra ciously acknowledged the same. Dr. G. Dartnell, P.M.O. (surrounded by hie staff, Drs. Beittereby, Ridgeway, B:nert, Moffatt, Heatley, Allen; the chaplain, Mr. Eltimsoo ; G. Prattles and H. Hacheson, Etqn., purveyors to the forces; together with the principal medical clerk, Mr. Dangly), presented to her Majesty a card, containing a state ment of the hospital, the numbers of the wounded, the frost-bitten, and of impaired health. Her Majesty, taking the arm of Prices Albert, then proceeded to No. 6 ward, where about eight poor men were in bed. Her Ma jesty expressed great sympathy with them, spoke many kind words to them, and inquired most minutely into their eases, which Drs. Parry and Dubai! explained. Her Majesty and the royal party, followed by the staff, went out of the hospital, when, turning to the right, it brought them into the beautiful and well-kept gardens, where the whole of the invalids who ware not in bed were seated. Upon the approach of her Majesty the word" attention" was given, and every man, whether with one crutch or two, sprung to his feet, forming two long lines of 260 each. Every man had his card in hie hand stating his name, regi ment, where wounded, and in what battle. Her Majesty was evidently affected by the scene before her, and did not fail to speak to every man. The inspection ended, her Majesty and suite were pro ceeding to their carriages, drawn up under the Martell° Tower, when the royal attention was called to the invalid 'carriage recently sent to this fort from London to convey the severely wounded from the railway to the hospital. This i carriage is capable of holding fear men at fall length, and six in sitting posture, but from it. immense weight it is not well calculated for its object. The royal visit to Fort Pitt GI 1 Hospital now being ended, the carriages drove off, attended by the same staff, to Brompton Hospital, where every arrangement had been made similar to that of Fort P,tt, her Majesty being only attended by the staff of the respective hospitals, thus affording ample opportn aity for inspecting the wards, and conversing with the wounded. At Brompton Hospital, in addition to the maff which had attended her Majesty at Fort Pitt, De. Bellaeley, from Fort Pitt (in the absence of Dr. Reid, em leave), with the Rev. Charles Green, chaplain to the Races, accompanied her Majesty in her inspection of one or ewe wards and the men, who assembled in number to 270. Of these 62 have wounds, 37 frost bites, and 170 impaired I Issalth. This concluded the whole inspection by her Majesty, when the royal carriages were entered at six o'clock, and a royal 'slate greeted her Mejeety on her way to the terminus, where a great concourse of the inhabitants of the fair towns were assembled to greet her Majesty. There were not near so many desperate asses as when her Majesty paid her trot visit. LORD CHAMBERLAINIS.OPEICE, JUNE s.—Notice is hereby given, that her Majesty will hold • levee at St. James'.
