We neither admire nor advocate the purchase system in the British army. It is alike disgrace ful and injurious to the best interests of the country. It is a high crime and misdemeanour to purchase, or be in any way concerned in the sale, of any other appointment under Govern ment. The military service constitutes the sole exception to the rule. It has, however, a very demoralising effect, inasmuch as simple-minded, straight-forward persons cannot conceive that venality is in any degree objectionable when they see it openly and unblushingly practised in a department where a strict sense of honour is espe eial ly inculcated. The recognised system of pur e e in the army naturally leads to a similar practice in other departments where it is not re cognised, but regarded as an offence of consider• able magnitude. But so long:1111%i: n degreeaiotained, some degree o f consistency s observed. It is scarcely fair to appoint one young put for ward no extraordinary clain: who can either personal or wit hereditary, t o a commissi on ions, who h purchase, haa lieds passed Lis while another o f e q ual p aten. an equally good xamination, an d money lodged for a considerable period, st ill languishes without em p lo y ment. This is prac tically neither more nor less than a gift of 450/ . to the former, conferred by the authorities out of the public purse. It is said that within the last three months nearly 200,0001. has been squandered in this manner, not given to the most worthy, or to those nahle to afford Le money, but to persons TIM belonging to wealthy and aristocratic families, who could bring strong influence to bear at head` quarters; and that within the last tmo years it has averaged half a million per annum. Of that amount a certain proportion was unquestionably merited. All the promotions from the ranks had been fairly earned, and many had claims, either through superior qualifications displayed at the examina tions, or from the services °a mount fatherseven . to Bu a t e ven supposing that these a moiety of the whole, there would be half a million literally given away, within two years, without any possible reason, abstracted from the pockets of the heavily burdened tax-payers, to gratify per sons who had no possible claim to such a favour or gratuity, as it may properly be designated. It is time that this should be changed—that the promotions should be made with or without purchase --that they should really be given to persons possessing the requisite qualifications, proved by competitive examinations or otherwise, as may be decided, or that all but the children of gallant officers, or other distinguished public servants, should be.compelled to pay the stipu- &TEST NEWS. greater than those of railways in France or Ger many. Thus, in France, in 1806, the receipts per per day per kilometre were 132 fr., and i n 1857, 124 fr. ; in Germany, 87fr. in 1856, and 89fr. in 1857 ; whilst the line of Moscow produced 129 fr. in 1856, and 132 fr. in 1857. It must, however, be remembered that in Russia these figures represent the produce of a single railway uniting two great capitals, whilst in France they are an average of all the railways, amongst which necessarily are some less advantageous than others. Nor must it be forgotten that the comparison is of gross receipts, and that if the nett receipts were taken into ac count it would be much less advantageous to us ; in fact, it is notoi ions that the receipts of the Mos cow line are hardly sufficient to cover the expense, to say nothing of interest on the capital." A letter from Stockholm of the Bth says : " According to accounts from Hammerfest, the last Norwegian port at the entrance to the White Sea, several Russian vessels of war have passed on their way to Archangel, which the Emperor Alex ander is al-,out to visit. It is known that in compliance with the recommendations of his brother, the Grand Duke Constantine, the Emperor has resolved to give a large develop ment to the dockyards of the White Sea. Last year four vessels were constructed there ; this year six vessels, all screws, are being built there ; and it is hoped that before the closing of the navigation they can be sent on some distant expedition. From the new arrangements now being made at Arch angel, not only small vessels but ships of the line and frigates can henceforth be built there." AMERICA. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY MORNING. The screw steam-ship City of Washington has arrived with New York ad vices to the sth instant, and $98,590 in specie. From the 6th to the 9th inst. she experienced hazy weather and dense fog. On the latter day she passed an iceberg ; on the 4th signalled the Hamburg barque Alliance, steering south ; and on the 15th the ship Charles Holmes, steering west. A bill for placing the military and naval forces, and 10,000,000 dollars, with 50,000 volunteers, at the disposal of the President, to resist the preten sions of Great Britain, and authorise him to send a special ambassador to England if necessary, had been introduced in the Senate. The House of Representatives by a large majo rity had suspended the rules and received a propo sition, which it referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations, requiring the President to issue orders for the arrest of the offenders connected with the act, of the British cruisers. Permission had been refused to introduce a Bill authorizing the construction of 10 propeller sloops of war, &c. Notice of an amendment increasing ;he number to 30 had been given. Both Houses of Congress had resolved to extend the session. The New Orleans resolution had ended in the triumph of the Vigilance Committee. 1,000 men had been appointed to maintain order and protect the polls on the day of election, the 7th.

It has, however, been already twice postponed, and it is possible that it may be altogether withdrawn. If, however, the Noble Lord should not satisfy the public expectation, there will be many others ready and willing to occupy the posi tion he had abdicated, and to press for a straightforward response to a direct and simple interrogatory. The Commander-in-Chief must surely have the power to dispose of these new commissions for the public benefit ; and, if so, it was an imperative duty to exercise that power, and thus to provide a fund which might partially liquidate the additional expenses caused by the recent augmentations. Whatever may be the result, it would be well that some recognised course should be adopted. If purchase is to be retained, let it be universal, save for irresistible claims; or, better still, let it be universally abolished, and the nation, for ever, relinquish such a questionable source of revenue. What was once " the silver winding Thames, a forcing itself, in a very unpleasant manner, on the public attention. It has gradually become the cloaca maxima of the British metropolis— a source of pestilence and death to our fellom - citiuens, whose avocations subject them to the refined stenches and unsavoury smells developed by the extraordinary heat of the weather. That which with judicious management might be ren dered a source of national wealth, increasing the fertility, and doubling the produce of the soil, is not merely wasted, but is rendered a deleterious agent, poisoning the atmosphere, and wafting disease to all classes, rich and poor ! And yet the required improvements would fully pay their own expenses. Were we to look at the ques tion merely as one of .£ e. d., as a mode of obtaining a first rate manure—without resort ing to the Guano Islands—and thus making two blades of grass, or ears of corn grow, when one only could previously be obtained, the matter should be carried out. It would give the 5 per cent., so dear to the hearts of capitalists, be a very good safe investment for superfluous funds, and enable the shareholders to exult the patri i otic character of their undertaking. But it possesses higher claims than that of a mere speculative project. There is an abominable nuisance to be abated. A nuisance disgraceful to the British Empire, and which has lad to the sacrifice of many valuable lives. A proper em bankment would exclude the reeking mud that swelters in the sun, give valuable sites for building, purposes, and materially add to the beauty and salubrity of the metropolis. The interception of the sewage material, would not only purify the river from the horrible polution to which it is sub jected, which renders the water, once most valu able for sea-going vessels and breweries, a horrible dose, but would preserve a vast quantity of manure, the utility whereof would be recognised by every farmer throughout the length and breadth of the land, and which would increase the rental of every landowner and the profits of every agri culturist in the metropolitan counties. Many remedies have been suggested—any of of which would be a vast improvement on the present state of affairs. We shall not, at present, enter on a consideration of the advantages that may result from the rival projects, but surely nothing could more properly attract the legislative , attention, and whatever course was decided on should be forthwith commenced.

Her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness the Prince Consort left Stoneleigh Abbey at one o'clock p.m. yesterday, for Warwick Castle, to honour the Earl and Countess of Warwick with a visit. Luncheon was served at the Castle to the royal party. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness drove, between 4 and 5 o'clock through the town of Leamington, and then travelled by a special train on the Great Western Railway to the Paddington terminus, from whence her Majesty proceeded to Buckingham Palace, escorted by a detachment of 11th Hussars. The Queen and Prince arrived at the Palaca at 20 minutes before eight o'clock, attended by the Duchess Of Atholl, Hon. Horatia Stopford, Earl Delawarr, the Marquis of Abercoro, Col. the Hon. Sir Charles B. Phipps, Major-Gen. Bouverie, and Col. F. H. Seymour. Mr. Secretary Walpole attended the Queen to L , indon.

We have dates from this island, through Malta, to the Ist of June, at which time matters threat ened a very serious turn ; but consular despatches are said to have leached Admiral Lord Lyons of one or two days' later date, announcing that, through the activity of the Ottoman Government in responding to the demands for considerable re inforcements from various points of Turkey, made by Vely Pasha, the insurrection may be looked upon as entirely suppressed and put down. On this occasion Vely Pasha, a Cretan by birth, and enjoying a well-earned popularity, has shown him self as discreet as he is known to be brave, and only the loss of one or two lives has to be de plored, although at one time the fate of Scio, at the commencement of the Greek revolution, seemed to threaten the Ottoman population. Three proclamations of the Governor-General and one of the Metropolitan, although couched in the most conciliatory tone and spirit, failed in restoring order, and, seeing this, the population not only of the town of Canea, but likewise of that of Candia, volunteered to assist the regular armed force against the insurgents, who seem to have been led on to the outbreak by one or more influential Greeks, possibiy at the instigation of emissaries from a Powerful Northern Power, ever ready to raise questions in the East to give her a chance of playing out that deep game which has been ever uppermost in the thoughts of her So vereigns, even to the hour of their last breath. On the 29th of May two Greeks, without the least provocation, attacked an unoffending Moslem and mortally wounded him, justly incensed at which the Ottoman population rose en masse, and proceeding to the palace of the Caimacan Bey clamorously demanded arms to revenge themselves upon the Greeks. Bedrihan Pasha, however, suc ceeded after a while in calming the infuriated Ottomans, who can scarcely show themselves be yond the protection of the authorities in the towns, for the mountain passes are studded with armed Greeks, who at Nerocuro are said to have mus tered so strong as to dictate to the authorities a 10 days' armistice. On the 29th and 30th of May a regiment of carbineers, another of infantry, with a body of artillery, bringing mountain ordnance and ammunition, arrived at Canea in the Kars and Silistria steamers, from Constantinople, to act under Ali Pasha against the insurgents, and on the last-mentioned day 500 Bashi-Bazouks, or irregular troops, arrived from Salonica in another steamer, the Umai Tefik, which immediately after landing them returned for 500 Albanians. The garrison of Canea already numbered 6,000 regulars and irregulars, but with the reinforcements on the way would be brought up to 12,000. A species of authority has been established by the insurgents on the mountains, whence emissaries have been despatched to the plains and rural districts to for cibly enlist the peasantry to join the standard of revolt. A cave or dry well in one of the mountain passes is said to have been converted into a sub terraneous dungeon for the refractory, who, if caught acting treacherously, are, with any other Ottomans that may be taken fighting against the insurgent Greeks, to be branded 'in the forehead with the words " Anti-Christo." In the town of Candia the artillery has been turned and planted so as to bear upon the town, which has had the effect of causing some 1,400 out of 1,500 Greeks and other Christian families, fearing a general mas sacre, to flee—some to the mountains and interior, others have embarked in ships and small craft, with scarcely means of subsistence and no predetermined destination. The shops are closed, trade completely suspended, and universal distress and misery pre vail. An Ottoman brig of war is cruising in the offing, and the Kars, Silistria, Vasilei, Tidjaret, and Sheri Hair steamers are in the arbour of Canea, but only one foreign ship of war is to be seen, the Solon, French steamer.

The following description of this disastrous occur rence is from a letter received from one of the pas sengers who reached Glasgow yesterday : " We left Gourock Bay about six o'clock on Saturday evening, and, as everything seemed going on prosperously and no danger was apprehended, we retired to rest about ten o'clock. The children, being wearied with the excitement of the previous day, slept soundly. Mrs. also fell asleep, but awoke a little atter half-past twelve o'clock. At that time there was some shouting on deck, such as frequently takes place when a hasty attempt is made to put about a ship. She remarked that she was afraid something was wrong, and in a few seconds the New York struck tha rock, and re mained firm and fast. The severe concussion awoke the entire passengers—numbers immediately rushed on deck in their night-clothes ; others (among whom we were included) commenced putting on whatever clothing we could lay our hands upon. There was, of course, intense excitement on board, but none of that frantic shouting so common on such occasions. Having got ourselves partially dressed, our design was to carry the children (who were still buried in unconscious sleep) on deck in blankets, or whatever was most convenient. But meanwhile an officer came down and assured us that there was no immediate danger, and that we must not be greatly alarmed, as the vessel was likely to hold together. Being so far reassured, we partially dressed the children, and then conveyed them on deck. At this time the sailors were busily engaged in preparing the boats for service, and we could distinctly see the rocks towering up to a great height within a ship's length of us. We expected that an immediate attempt would be made to land the passengers, but the captain would not allow a boat to leave the ship till daybreak, as the shore was a very dangerohs one. We had there fore to wait in awful suspense till two o'clock, when, day beginning to break, a boat was sent off to see if a landing could be effected. After a short time the boat returned with the news that the passengers, though with difficulty, might be landed. A rope was then conveyed ashore by the same boat and made fast to the rock, and the land ing of the passengers commenced forthwith, the boats being guided by the rope. In a very short time all the passengers were seated on the rocky shore, some very scantily clothed, indeed. How ever, I need scarcely say we were all very glad when we found our feet again on terra firma. It was a very difficult business climbing up the rug ged rocky shot e, but by the kind aid of the sailors, who carried the children, we succeeded in reaching a sufficient elevation, where we sat down with hearts full of gratitude to God that we were so far safe. The ground was very damp, and a heavy Scotch mist' discharged itself upon us and wetted our clothing. We feared that the effects of the exposure might prove fatal to the children, espe cially to baby, and therefore we wrapped all our spare clothing around them. We were on the ro c k for about fuurteen hours, with no proper shelter, and with little to eat. About twelve o'clock of the day a small steamer hove in sight. She had been despatched from Campbelton, whither one of the passengers, baying made his way by foot, had given the alarm. The appearance of this craft was hailed, as you may suppose, with gladness, espe cially as we were assured by the captain and others that we would in all probability have to spend a second night on the rock. By the time the small steamer arrived the sea had become somewhat stormy, and it was doubtful whether it would be safe to attempt conveying the passengers on board. The attempt, however, was made, and by five o'clock all who were prepared to run the risk were safely on board. Some, observing the narrow escapes that some of us made, refused to leave the rook. We reached Campbelion about seven o'clock, when an immense crowd received us with every demonstration of , ympatliy. We found lodgings at the Argyle Arms Inu for the night, an d l e ft f or Glasgow at eight o'clock yesterday morn i ng, arriv ing at our destination about three o'clock p.m. " I ought to have mentioned in its proper place that the vessel struck on the Mull of Cantyre." 4 G Tar DISTRICT BANK, NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE. —• On Tuesday afternoon a meeting of the creditors of the Northumberland and Durham District Bank was held in the Queen's Head, Newcastle-on-Tyne, to consider the propriety of appointing a creditors' representative t• watch over the interests of the creditors with reference to compromrsee, &c. Mr. P. G. Ellison occupied the chair, and, after considerable discussion, the following resolutions, proposed by Mr. John Ranson, of Sunder lard, and seconded Ly Mr. John Feuwick, were agreed to :—" That in the opinion of this meeting it is desirable, and in accordance with the Joint Stock Comploies Act, that the creditors of the Northumberland and Durham District Banking Company should have notice •f, and assent to or dissent from, all cemproinises which the official liquidators of the said banking cAppany way pro pose to enter into with the shareholders or debtors of the company under the 3.61 h section of the Joint-stock Com panies' Act, of the 20,,h and 21.,t Vic., cap. 14." "That , inasmuch as the credito rs o f the sai banking company are upwards of 0,400 in number, it is expedient, with the view of preventing the heavy expense, delay, and difficulty necessarily attendant upon communication with so large a body of creditors, that representatives of the creditors should be appointed for the purpose mentioned in the preceding resolution, whose services shall be ren dered gratuitously, save as to actual disbursements, tra velling expenses, Sec." "That this meeting is of opinion, therefore, that an apVication should be made to the court to sanction the appointment of representatives of the creditors of the Northumberland and Durham Dis trict Banking Company for the purposes above men tioned ; and that Mr. Ptregrine George Ellison, Mr. William DUD!), and Mr. Samuel Alcock are, in the opinion of this meeting, fit and proper persons to be such 7I representatives of the creditors, FRANCE.

We have received, via Trieste, Constantinople let ters and journals to the sth, being the same date as we have before given from Marseilles. It appears that the last proposition submitted by the Porte to the representatives of the allied powers, to obtain their assent to the new frontiers of Mostenegro being arranged at Constantinople, has met with serious difficulties on the part of some of the cabi nets, who insist that the question of delimitation of the frontiers shall be settled on the very spot. lt was, therefore, expected that the Porte would shortly name its commissioners for the purpose. The Turkish Government had communicated to the ambassadors the official report relative to the affair of Grahowo, and which is said to differ very rnatetially from the accounts pub lished by the Montengrins. A grand diplo matic dinner, given by the Sultan on the 2d, exceeded in magnificence anything of the kind that had ever taken place at Constantinople. The Grand Vizier presidedAhaving on his right the French Ambassador, and on his left the Persian envoy. the Greek and Armenian patriarchs and the Catholic archbishop were present, as was also the Jewish rabbi, to whom the attention was paid of having a table prepared apart for him. Before the dinner, the guests had the honour of being received by the Sultan. The Agram Gazette Says :—" The Montenegrins retired between the 14th and the 20th ult. to their mountains, leaving at Grahowo only 80 men to pro tect that part of the booty which hadjnot been sent to Cettingen. Notwithstanding their departure the Rajahs of Zubia and Grahowo sent on the 14th an expedition against the village of Korenci, which was completely ravaged en the 15th and 16th. All the bodies of the Turks which were lying about in great numbers near Grahowo have been burnt." M. Blondeel, Minister of Belgium at Constanti nople, who some months back left that capital and retired to Athens in consequence of differences with the Porte, has just gone back to the Turkish capital to take leave of the Sultan. The differences are completely arranged, but M. Blondeel is to be ap pointed to some other post—Turin being considered meat probable. AUSTRIA. A letter from Vienna, in the Suabian Mercury, says :—" The Turkish ambassador has had several conferences recently with Count Buol, and it seems tLat ►ha Porte and Austria entertain identical opinions on the Montenegrin question. It is cer tain that the Porta still considers the acknowledg ment of her suzerainty as a sine qua non."—Ano ther letter states that the presence of M. de Pfordten in Vienna is to be attributed to the desire of Ba varia to come to an understanding with Austria on the question which will be treated in the Zollve rt in conference, shortly to be held at Hanover. The Austrian Gazette publishes a letter from Gravosa of the 4th, which says that, in addition to the two French ships of the line in that port, there are seven Turkish steamers, two Austrian frigates, and several vessels of war, of secondary rank ; also a great number of merchant ships. The most friendly feelingis represented as prevailing between the Austrian and foreign officers. It is added that, among the vessels which conveyed the. Turkish re inforcements at Gravosa were two English steamers carrying the Turkish flag. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 12th announce that the Queen and King had left Aranjuez to attend the inauguration of the Toledo Railway. An offi cial return shows that the floating debt, which on the Ist May was 469,400,288 reals, was on the Ist of this month 443,948,694 reals. It was said that M. Gonzalez Bravo had solicited permission from the Government to remain some time at Madrid, instead of returning to London ; but it is not stated whether or not his request had been com plied with. The Bishop of Cordova bad caused to be publicly burned several arrobas (the arroba is 251b5.) of prohibited books, which in compliance with his exhortations had been delivered np to him.

SOLDIERS' IN IND. While we congratulate the country upon the general aspect of affairs in India, we do not forget the dangers of the terrible crisis we have passed, nor ilo we seek to conceal that we have still anxieties fur the future. With courage and conduct all will be well, but the courage of Englishmen is but the courage of men, and there are laws of physical endurance which no courrage can over come. We have already stated that the European soldiers who fought at Arrah were dressed in cloth coats buttoned up to the throat, cloth trousers, and 111- mar:sock caps. In addition to this, we now bear that they had no food during the whole of that disastrous day. It is said also that her Majesty's 6th Regiment lately marched from Calcutta in cloth coats, which the Colonel would not permit to be even opened at the neck, and full-dressed shakoes. The men had been provided with light clothing, but it seems they were to go up by carriage dak, which will carry no baggage. Therefore they were compelled to wear their cloth clothes 011 there backs, and leave their light clothing behind I Can we wonder that men grow disgusted and break down under such treatment, or shall we wonder if, when the moment of conflict comes, they are found too weak to fight ? There ere moral causes also which tell upon a man's courage. It is the first quality of a commanding officer to outain the confidence of those whom he leads. If he have not this he is unqua'ified for command, and it is gross cruelty to place him iu a position where be can only disgrace himself and cause the destruction of his wee. If the information received by our corres pondent is correct as to the existence of such a disquali fication in some of the officers now in command in Rohilcund and in Oude no personal considerations towards an individual should be allowed to interfere with obvious public duty. Do it with as much gentle ness, as much delicacy, es you can, but the duty must , be done. As to the officers who send their men into the burning plains clad in a red-cloth uniform, we would have no delicacy with them. A sharp and summary ex ample is necessary to save the lives of our soldiers and the credit of our arms. Other greater questions yet remain behind. Who can say that no danger threatens when we have in our pay an army of 75,000 Punjabees I It is true that we no longer trust artillery in the hands of natives ; the magazines and arsenals are all held by Europeans, and our treasuries are all now kept within our forts. These are evident improvements upon errors which never ought to have been committed; but are they precautions sufficient to counterbalance the danger of such an army as we have now called from the Punjaub ! Of course, we must keep full and generous faith with the men who have served us in our need, but there is a great differ ence between the gratitude which repays a benefit and a blind confidence which becomes a temptation. We must have native soldiers, but there is no country which offers such facilities as India offers for an European army of mixed and non-combining elements. We have the Bheels, the Mugs, the Santals, the Karens, the na tive Christians of the Southern Peninsula, the Afghans, the Cashmeres, and the Eurasians. Surely here are materials enough for an army which, even if it should not look so smart and uniform on parade as a division of tall Brahmins, would be sufficient to fight any enemy we shall find in India of any but our own creation! Another element of danger, at which we have already glanced, was the accumulation of treasure at unprotected places. Ultimately, perhaps, this circumstance operated in our favour in quelling the mutiny. What had been booty to the mutineers became booty to our allies. A mutineer whose pockets were well lined with gold mohurs was worth pursuing. But a system which is a direct tempta tion to rebellion is not one of unmixed good, and it would be easy to establish some system of State paper money, whereby a great many guards and a great deal of escort duty would be saved. After purging our system of all its errors we may still have difficulties in India—diff oulties from those independent princes who have proved so wonderfully faithful, falsifying all the prognostics of old Indians—difficulties from without, from Persia, Russia, or even Powers nearer home—difficulties from the people, who can never can be expected to do more than tolerate a nation of alien governors • but we mai at least avoid the unnecessary dangers which beset uo at the commencement of this mutiny. Had we failed, the next generation would have to say of their fathers that we created and disciplined an army of fanatics ; that we put into their hand the guns, the magaaineds and the fortresses of the country ; and that, fearing lest even these might not be sufficient to induce them to drive us out of India, we exhibited before them piles of unpro tected gold to tempt them to the work.—Tintat. THE SHREWSBURY ESTATES. We understand that an action has been commenced by the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot, with the view 0 1 obtaining possession of Alton Towers, at present held by the trustees under the will of the late earl. TM action, we hear, will come on for trial at the next as' sizes at Stafford, unless in the meantime, there being no facts in dispute, a " special case" shall be agreed upon, in order that the point of law raised on the dil3; entailing deed executed by the late earl may be a rgued before the judges. This seems to be the most likely course to be adopted. The whole question at issue now" appears to be this :—" Is the deed of 1856 to prevail against an act of Parliament which declares that every • st.ch deed shall be void ?" The late earl, as has been previously stated, executed the disentailing deed irk 1856, in order, it is contended, to go through the form of attempting to possess himself of the fee simple of the estates in question, every act of alienation with refe rence to which it is declared by the act 6th of George I. shall be null and void. The disentailing deed was, it appears, a necessary preliminary in order to giv e a !lasi foundation for the earl's will to operate upon, and in the case of an ordinary entail would have been all that was needed to make him owner of the estates in fee simple. But for this deed, in this case, the present Lord Shrews' bury would, as a matter of course, have enteredthe illto undisputed possession of the estates. This deed, re fore, was the only means open to those under whose influence the late earl acted to raise an argument is favour of the attempt intended to be made at seca ° future day to prevent the present Lord Shrewsbury ln heriting the estate. , . As regards certain estates put chases! by the private resources of either Charles or John' • Earl of Shrewsbury, if they belonged to Earl Bertram et his death they would pass by his will, which was Pete factly good as to them ; but a rumour pa evails that tb! d aug hters of the late John Earl of Shrewsbury, in teoa to contest the question whether those estates did actualll belong to Bertram, Earl of Shrewsbury, at his decease,: With this question, however, the present earl has , whatever to do, as he does not an any way lay n1,0'113: to the private property of any of the late earls. 'AP, estates to which he does lay claim are those entail l - under or subsequently conveyed to the uses of the 6:h of Geo.

ANOTHER THUNDER-STORM IN LIVERPOOL—The tOl/4/ and neighbourhood was visi ted y esterda y morning another tbunder-storm, which for fierce violence 11. passed even that of Saturday morning, but its dura tion was shorter. It began about three o'clock, and lasted to half-past four. The flashes of lightning wer e the p 0 vivid, perhaps, ever seen, and came in rapid succe ssio l and in immense broad sheets, and could be seen trieVeci inn the streets. The peals of thunder were terrific, alio shook the very horses. We have never beard or se e r, any such rain as that which fell for about ha lf-au-13c % It could not properly be called rain, as it came doWole, a eheet-like rush, and in a few seconds there were rive' of at least half a foot deep in many of the streets. 130 THUNDERSTORM IN EDINIURGLI.—The weather 00 continued for some ten days unusually warm for eis e arly a period in the season.
