In answer to Lord MONTEAOLE, _ Earl GRANVILLE stated that England and France were jointly and severally to guarantee the whole five millions of the Turkish loan. The Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes Bill was read a third time. The Victoria and New South Wales Government Bills and Australian Waste Lands Bill was read a third time and passed. The Encumbered Estates (Ireland) Bill passed through committee. Adjourned at twenty minutes past six. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY. Mr. WALPOLE having moved that Lord Hotham be discharged from the London Writ Committee and Mr. E. Egerton added, Lord HOTHAIt explained that his reason for retiring arose from the decision of the committee that counsel should be heard on behalf of Baron Rothschild, but not against him. He thought, in consequence, that his place should be filled by a lawyer. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said that this course would be very inconvenient, as the new member would not have beard the argument. There were already seven lawyers on the committee. Lord HOTHAM consented to remain. In answer to Colonel Nonni, Mr. F. PEEL soid that officers retiring upon full pay under the late warrant ought not, he thought, to be allowed to retain the reward for distinguished service. Ia answer to Colonel KNOX, /4r. F. PEEL said that some of the invalids at Chatham had not received their arrears in eonse quence of the non arrival of the pay-list, but they were receiving their full pay at present. In answer to Mr. E. BALL, Mr. V. SMITH said that instructions bad been sent to the Indian Government to prepare a patent law for that cottatry. In answer to Sir H. Wit.Loueaur, THE PRESS. The CHANCELLOR of the ExcHEQuisa said that large supplementary estimates for the army and navy would probably be necessary, and he should have to state how he proposed to meet them in com mittee of ways and means. In answer to Mr. T. DuNcoMBE, Sir G. GREY said that a commission, consisting of the Recorders of London, Manchester, and Liverpool, had been appointed to inquire into the conduct of the police. The commission was to be issued under the Great Seal, in order to enable the commissioners to examine witnesses, which had caused some delay, but the proceedings would commence forthwith. Every facility would be given to the persons aggrieved in preferring their complaints; whether counsel would be allowed to be heard would depend upon the dis cretion of the commissioners. Sir F. THESIGER, an the point that the commis sion was to examine witnesses upon oath, asked if it was in the power of the Crown to open a commis sion of this kind, and if an act of Parliament was not necessary? _ _ Sir G. GREY said that the course he had adopted was warranted by precedent. In answer to a question, Lord PALMEESTON said that the latest advices from the Crimea were confined to good accounts of the health of the army. On the question that the house at its rising ad journ until Monday, Lord H. VANE asked if the Government intended to take measures against any disturbance next Sunday ? Sir 6. GREY said that these questions only pro duced the evil they were intended to hinder. Mr. DisasEts, adverting to the statement that large supplementary estimates were necessary, begged to ask if any agreement had been entered into with the contractors that no further loan would be con tracted this year? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER admitted the engagement, and said that it was not the intention of the Government to ask for a loan of the same kind before the end of December. The house then went into committee on the Tenants' Compensation (Ireland) Bill. Clause 15, giving the tenant power to retain possession of the land until his compensation was paid, was negatived against the Government by 84 to 83. After clause 17 bad been agreed to, Mr. WILKINSON moved that the chairman report progress. Mr. I. Btrirx moved that all the remaining clauses be omitted as relating to a totally different subject— the power of leasing by tenants for life, which should be the subject of a separate bill, in which view he was supported by Mr. WHITESIDE. Mr. HORSISAN said that he did not expect that the leasing clauses of the bill would be opposed by the other side of the house. He trusted that they would now proceed more smoothly. After some further discussion the Chairman re ported progress, and the other orders of the day having been disposed of the house adjourned. A correspondence has been interchanged between Admiral Penaud, Admiral Dundas, and the Russian Minister of War, Prince Basile Dolgorouki, by which the latter lays down the rule that no flags of truce will hereafter be respected by the Russian authorities in the Baltic, exeept at Cronstadt, Sweaborg, and Revel. The English and French admirals remon strate against such a restrictive use of the pacific signal, as contrary to all hitherto recognised modes of communieatien with a belligerent power, and as tending to aggravate the evils of war. They, there fore, throw upon the Russian Minister the responsi• bility of any misfortunes that may arise out of such a very limited measure. A letter from Trebizond of the 24th tilt., in the Moniteur, states that the news of the death of the celebrated Caucasian chief Schamyl appeared to be positively true. According to the Patrie great disquietude exists at Milan, Verona, Venice, and other towns in Italy; so much so that Marshal Radetzky had asked for 40,000 additional troops. Numerous arrests are said to have taken place at Naples. The New Prussian Journal partly confirms the above statement. The cholera is raging with the most fatal effects in several portions of the Austrian empire, particularly in Hungary and Poland. The Spanish Cortes have passed the bill for a loan of 230,000,000 reale. The accounts from Barcelona of the 11th con tinue to be favorable. The disturbances may be said to have been suppressed, for tranquillity pre vailed throughout the city, and several of the dis contented operatives had resumed labour. The Union packet arrived yesterday at Southamp ton, with news from the United States to the 30th SATUIIDAY, ult., and 500,000 dollars. The political intelligence is of little importance. A serious fire bad taken place at Toronto, which destroyed property to the amount of 50,0001. At Canada West a hurricane had swept away all the bridges in the Welland and Oswego Creeks, crops of oats and corn, and ten mill dams. The news from Mexico is important. All the towns in Tamaulipas and Nueva Leon, excepting three, had declared against Santa Anna, without any fighting. The commission for inquiring into the conduct of the police iu reference to the late disturbances in Hyde•park, will be composed of the Right Hon. James Stuart Wortley, Q.C., Recorder of London; Mr. R. B. Armstrong, Q.C., Recorder of Manchester; and Mr. Gilbert Henderson, Recorder of Liver pool. Orders have been received in Bristol for the imme. diate commencement of preparation for the arrival of Lord Raglan's remains, which will be brought to that place preparatory to their removal to Great Bod. minton. The body of the late Commander•in-Chief is expected to reach this country in the course of next week, and will be interred in the family vault of the Beauforts. Obituarg.

PARRY, Lieutenant-Governor of Green wich Hospital, died at Ems, in Germany, on Satur day last. Sir Edward had long been in declining health, and his death was not unexpected. The deceased officer had seen a good deal of service in the navy. In 1818 he accompanied Captain Ross in his expedition to the Arctic regions, and was knighted in 1820 for his services in the Polar regions. The late admiral was a D.C.L., a Fellow of the Royal Society, and an honorary member of the Imperial Academy of Sciences at St. Petersburg. His commission bore date as follows .—Lieutenant, January 0, 1810; commander, November 4, 1820; captain, November 8, 1821; and rear-admiral, June 4, 1852.

The death of PHILIP PUSEY, Ese., of Pusey-park. Faringdon, Berks, took place on Monday, at the residence of his brother, the Rev. Dr. Pusey, at Christ Chureh, in Oxford University.

He unsuccessfully coi.e tested the county of Berks in 1832, but succeeded in 1835, and retained his seat until the general election in 1852, when, being threatened with an opposition, he retired, and Mr. G. H. Vansittart was elected in his place. Mr. Pusey was distinguished as an agri culturist, and was the president of the Royal Agricultural Society of England last year, but, owing to indisposition, was unable to preside at the meet iag at Lincoln, and the Earl of Chichester officiated in his absence. He edited the journals of this society, and was one of its chief contributors. He was eminent as a practical agriculturist, and gave every encouragement to new implements and manures, and wan a great advocate for combining practice with science, r 666
