Euston Station, July 25, 1867. nected with that body ; but he was satisfied that there was a considerable minority who agreed with him in approv ing this bill and iu thinking that the connexion be tween the Universities and the Church of England would not be endangered by its pasting. Although a few Nonconformists might be admitted to the governing bodies, yet the Colleges, which were not affected by this pleasure, would still remain under the charge and control of members of the Church, and speaking more particularly of CAtubridge he observed that even were Dissenters to become members of the Senate, yet this could only decide questions submitted to them by the Council, which is elected by the Heads of Reuses and Fellows. fie sup ported the bill because it would increase the advantages of these great national institutions, and by extending their influence would increase their stability; while, on the other hand, if the bill should now be defeated no ono could doubt but that in the new condition of political af fairs about to open renewed and determined efforts would be made to achieve the object now sought. The Bishop of PETERBOROUGII denied that the Uni versities were national institutions in the sense of being the creation of the nation, although they were national because they conferred great benefits upon the nation. Not admitting that Dissenters were insulted by being excluded from the governing bodies of institutions closely connected with the Church, ho desired the rejection of the bill, be lieving that the Universities would themselves take steps to remove all solid grounds of complaint from any class. The Duke of SOMERSET thought it would be prudent to attract to the Universities the sympathies of those who would hereafter probably exercise much political power. Lord CARNARVON objected to small bills affecting the Universities upon particular - points, and thought that all suggested alterations should be included in a general measure which should be submitted to the now Parlia ment about to be called under new conditions. any part of the world, to the extent of 50,000 men. The first and moro important part of the plan was to rely upon our militia to supply a consider:lbl portion of the reserve. And this would be accomplished by maintaining- the militia at the full quota of 120,000, and enrolling one fourth of the number, or 30,000, upon the condition that they shoul.l be ready at any moment., in the event of war or of war being imminent, to give their services in the regular army in consideration of receiving double bounty for their services as militiamen. The second portion of the scheme was to raise another body of 20,000 men, to consist of soldiers of the regular army enlisted to serve for twelve years, and who after having served for two-thirds of the time would be willing, with the consent of their commanding officers, to enrol themselves in the army of reserve, on condition of serving two years in that army for every ono unexpired of their original enlistment. They would also receive a double bounty, and the cost which those two bodies would entail on the country for increased bounty, for pay during 12 days' drill every year, and clothing, would amount to about £230,000 a year. The Marquis of HARTINGTON could not see the grounds upon which it was proposed to increase the pay of the militia. The same reasons did not exist as in the case of the regular army. With regard to the plan for forming a reserve, there was not much in it to object to, nor, in deed, to be particularly satisfied with. He thought, how ever, as Parliament was about to be reformed the now class of voters might take a different view of the matter from those who had elected the present House of Commons, and that, therefore, it would be better to postpone the question for another year. General PEEL was opposed to making any distinction between the pay of the militia and that of the line, and spoke earnestly in support of the scheme of the Gofern ment. play for a quarterof a mile, followedbyDistaff and Duchess, when the latter took up the running, and won easily by a length. Throe lengths separated second and third. Peven sey was fourth, Vampire fifth, and Tinklo last. weighs as much as an English 9-inch and a 7-inch together; its life with battering charges is stated by the American military authorities to be very low ; and if we compare it with the English gun nearest its own weight, the latter, though 1, ton lighter, would be driving every shell through the sides of tin ironclad ag tinit which the smooth bore could but - rap beseechingly and without effect ! Can any one doubt the is:ma of a com bat between the two systems of artillery ? The smooth-bores look very big and threatzcing, and can doubtless make a great noise when their shot strike the outside of a vessel ; but the life of a ship is in its interior. Should we ever require heavy smooth-bore guns the expe rience obtained in our long course of experi. meats and manufacture would enable us to begin where they left off, and there is no reason to limit our ideas of possible wrought-iron smooth-bore ord nance under a calibre of 30 inches. If we desire to throw a heavy shot with a low velocity we can do so now by simply increasing the length of the pro. jectile and decreasing the charge. So the English guns can " rack" if they wish, while the American guns cannot penetrate targets that may be easily pierced by rifle shot at high velocities. But, though the 15-inch shot did not get through the 8-inch plate and backing, it would have penetrated most of our ships, though not as easily as our guns would have penetrated theirs. It is an easy matter of cal culation from data obtained on Wednesday that the 15-inch American cast iron shot would have been stopped by the Lord Warden, Bellerophon, Lord Clyde, and ships of that class, but the steel shot would have penetrated all except the Hercules or Monarch, which are not yet afloat. This supposes a range of 70 yards and a direct blow. At 500 yards, or at a slight angle, it would penetrate the Warrior, but not ships of the class named above. It is for the Navy to say what protection they desire to have. The question of gun power may be considered as settled; only it must not be forgotten that the target fired at on Wednesday had been struck on previous occasions by more than 11,000 lb. of iron, propelled by above 1,9001 b. of gunpowder, the work done upon it Leing over 130,000 foot tons. -a- AMERICAN HE.IVF ORDNANCE.

IMPERIAL PARLIAIIIENT HOUSE OF LORDS—LAsT EVENING: Tho LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on tho woolsack at five o'clock. THE CLERICAL VESTMENTS BILL. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY postponed the further debate on tho second reading of this bill until Thurs day next. '.CHE MARQUIS OF WESTBIEA.TH AND THE REPORTERS. TLo Marquis of WESTMEAT fI said that ho had to bring before their lordships' house a matter of some im portance, and ono which affected the privileges of their lordships. These circumstances were connected with the conduct of a person in the reporters' gallery, and this was what he now wanted to bring under their lord ships' notice. The noble marquis then reminded their lordships that he had spoken on the Transubstantiation Bill on Thursday, 11th July, and had subsequently complained on the 16th July of the unfair reporting of the press. Subsequently to that, on the 20th July, an Orange meet ing had been held, at which certain statements had been made by Mr. Harper relative to what certain reporters had said of him. He immediately wrote to Mr. Harper, but before ho received an answer he was not aware that that gentleman had been to visit the gallery of the house. In reply, Mr. Harper had told him that when he was going up the stairs of the house he saw two reporters talking together, and one said, "I have just seen that old idiot the Marquis of West meath—(loud laughter) —and added, " I will take care not to give a word of what he says." On the same even ing the following incident also occurred when the reporters were changing their boxes :—One of them who, he had reason to believe, was the same individual who hail spoken before, said during the debate on the Transubstantiation Bill, " Is there no one to send this confounded old idiot to a lunatic asylum." The Earl of MALMESBURY said that ho really thought that the noble marquis htfti better not go into this matter unless ho was able to name some person, as it appeared this was surely a conversation between two persons. The MARQUIS of WESTMEATH said that he spoke on behalf of their lordships, that if he alone were con cerned, he should not notice such vulgar ribaldry. His lordship, after a long diatribe against reporters in general, allowed the subject to drop. THE_SKIPTONGRAMMAR SCHOOL. Earl DE GREY moved that this billscouldbe post poned. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had told their lord ships he should have the opinion of the Attorney-General before they did anything with the bill. The noble lord then read the opinion of the Attorney-General which induced him to propose a now scheme, which he understood was that his noble friend objected that formerly the trustees were both Roman Catholics and Dissenters, and that now the trustees would be Protestants only. But when they re flected that the trustees formerly had nothing to do with the management of the school, and that now they would, he thought that there was a strong necessity that they should be Protestant,. He could not say how soon the public schools commission report would be laid before the house, and therefore he did not see why this bill should be postponed until it was finished. He trusted that they would not think it necessary to postpone the bill. Lord TAUNTON was understood to advocate the ad journment of the bill. Lord ROMILLY said that this being only a Church of England school, it was not competent for himself or the Attorney-General to change it into anything els e . It was necessary that tho schoolmaster should be a Protestant, and at his suggestion .it was agreed that he should be in orders. The debate was adjourned at the suggestion of Lord Cianworth, in order that a clause might be prepared to prevent the creation of any fresh vested interest to be exempted from the operation of a general measure. Th 3 Banns of Matrimony Bill was read a second time, after a short conversation. Lord KIMBERLEY then moved the second reading of the Tests Abolition (Oxfc , rd and Cambridge) Bill, which he said was recommended by - the sanction of a largo majority in the Rouse of Commons. He urged the impropriety of requiring from young men—laymen—a subscription to the Thirty-nine Articles, but, mainly rested his advocacy of the measure upon the ground that the Universities were national institutions, which should be open to all her Ma jesty's subjects. The Duke of MARLBOROThaII objected that the bill reopened a question that was settled but a few years ago in the cases of both Oxford :►ntl Cambridge. There was no reason for renewed legislation, and the real motive for the bill was a desire to enable pe rsons not members of the Church of England to become members of the governing bodies of the Universities. Ere opposed that innovation because it would lead to the in- troduction of religious con flicts and to the neglect of n.ligious teaching, reducing the Universities to the conditi on of more secular insti tutions, and therefore he 'moved that the bill be read a third time that day six month s. The Duke of DEVONSIIIIi E regretted that, being Chan cellor of the University of Ca tebridge, his opinion should be different to that of a maj( wity of those who were con- HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. THE SNIDER RIFLE. In reply to an Hos MEMBER, Sir J. PABINGTON sail 216,223 out of 300,000 rifles ordered to be converted hal been completed. The con version was going on at the rate of 1,100 per day. THE CATTLE PLAGUE. Lord E. CECIL asked the Vice-President of the Council whether ho could give any information relative to the out break of tho cattle plague in Essex. Lord R. MONTAGU said the outbreak of the disease in Essex had not been so extensive as had been stated. Only seven boasts had been attacked during the last month. The examination of the cattle landed at Harwich from Antwerp took place within the 12 hours the beasts were in quarantine, so that the orders fur removal could be given immediately on the expiration - of that time. Mr. BRIGIIT asked whether other diseases than cattle plague were reported to the authorities, because the price of meat was kept up at an excessively high price. Lord R. MONTAGU said that other diseases were re ported, but he did not think the high price of moat was attributable to the cattle plague. BIRCHING CADETS. In reply to Mr. Bass, Mr. CORRY said inquiry had been made relative to the alleged cruel punishment to cadets on board the Britannia. The cadets were not punished with the greatest cruelty. The practice hitherto had been to birch cadets, but they were not fastened to ring bolts, and the birch used was somewhat smaller than that used at Westminster. An order, however, dated the Bth of last month, had been issued abulishing the system of birching cadets altogether on board the Britannia. (Hear, hear.) PRIVATE EXECUTIONS BILL. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE asked whether it was intended to proceed with this bill during the present, session. lle had attended night after night to oppose it, and he was afraid it might be taken some night after 12 o'clock. As his state of health would not allow him to attend at that hour any longer, he wanted to know if it was intended to go on with the bill. Mr. HARDY said out of consideration for the state of the learned gentleman's health the bill would not be pro ceeded with. (Hear, hear, and laughter). SUPPLY. On the motion that the house go iuto committee of supply for the purpose of considering the Army Supple mentary Estimates, Lord ELCHO moved the following resolution :." That, inasmuch as it is the ancient and undoubted prerogative of the Crown to require the military service of its liege sub jects, and inasmuch as liability to personal service, within the limits of the United Kingdom, has always been and still is the principle on which the Militia force is founded, it is desirable, in framing any scheme or the establish ment of an army of reserve, and for the more com plete and economical organisation of the mili tary capabilities and defensive power of the nation, to consider how far this ancient principle should be practically enforced, and how it can bo best applied with least inconvenience to the people. That it is further desirable, with a view to the more full and deliberate con sideration of this important subject, that the Army Reserve and Militia Reserve Bills should be withdrawn for the pre sent session of Parliament. The noble lord then pro ceeded to refer to the nature and scope of the two bills, when Sir J. PAKINGTON rose to order. He thought he was altogether transgressing the rules of the house in anticipa ting the discussion that must arise on a bill standing for a second reading, and also in making comments upon that which it was presumed he was about to say. The SPEAKER told the noble lord that ho must confine himself to the first portion of his motion. Lord ELCHO said he would at once act upon the direction from the chair. The noble lord then pro ceeded to state his view upon the best means for creating an army of reserve, and said that he thought the most ex cellent results would follow the adoption of the ballot for the militia. No doubt some inconvenience would result from the adoption of the ballot, but then ho considered it was the first duty of the subject to give his services to the state in times of war. It was absolutely neces sary to have an efficient army reserve, and as it was most certainly true that the best and most effective means of recruiting the regular army was from the militia, he thought it wise to keep that branch of the service up to its full strength, and for that purpose ho thought it absolutely necessary that the ballot should be put in oper ation, that no substitutes should be allowed, and the only exception from the ballot should be those who belonged to the Volunteer force. If that system was adopted he thought no fears might be entertained that the military strength of the country would be kept in the most efficient state. (Hear, hoar.) Sir J. PAKINGTON said he could not agree with the noble lord that the volunteering principle of recruiting the army had failed, neither could he agree with him that the ballot in the Militia was at all necessary. (Hear, hear.) The militia, after having fallen very much into neglect, had been revived about fiften years ago, and a remarkable characteristic of that revival was that from the year 1852 we had been able to rely upon the voluntary principle for recruiting their ranks ; and, at this moment the establish ment required, which was three-fourths of the whole quota sanctioned by act of Parliament, was not at all short of numbers. The Volunteer movement, t oo , su ppli e d a satisfactory answer ; for here were 180,000 men raised on the voluntary principle, and in the f ace o f suc h a f act as thatsurely ' be , alleged th a t th e m ili t i a cou ld not out having r ecourse t o t h e b a ll ot. h o it maintained would p r i n Looking at all the circumstances, then—the extent of the Volunteer knee, the success attendant on embodying the militia on the voluntary principle, and that if the ballot were wanted it could be put in operation in a few weeks— he hoped the House would be of opinion that no case had been made out for departing from that principle. A short discussion followed, and eventually the motion was withdrawn. Major JERVIS subsequently raised a debate on the riotous proceedings which took place at the late elections for the counties of Waterford and Tippeniry, and moved a resolution on the subject, which, however, was nega tived without a division, and tho House wont into com mittee of supply. Sir J. PAKINGTON then moved the remainder of the vote for the increase of pay to tho militia, and in doing so sketched out the scheme of the Government for establish ing an army of reserve. He observed that the extraordi nary revolution which had taken place of late years in our naval power was one cause which pointed t) the necessity of taking steps to increase our military power. For the general purposes of war we had no reserve whatever, though for home defence we had the militia force, the full quota of which was 120,000 men, a volunteer force of 180,000 men, and enrolled pensioners and the force raised under Mr. Sidney Herbert's Act of 1859, amounting to `20,000 mon. By the plan of the Government, then, it was provosed to form an army of reserve, to be employed iu General DUNNE bad no doubt that the scheme was adequate to meet the emergency of war, but he could not look upon the reserve as a permanent force. Criticisms were also passed upon the scheme by Mr. O'Reilly, Major Dickson, Major Walker, Sir M. Beach, Lord"Elcho, and Sir H. "Verney, and the vote was agreed to. A vote for increase of pay to marines was also agreed to on the motion of Mr. Corry. The Army Reserve Bill and the Militia Reserve Bill were read a second time. In committee of the whole house, on the motion of Sir J. Pakington, a resolution was agreed to authorising the raising of £BOO,OOO to defray the expense of the construc tion of works for the defence of the royal dockyards and arsenals, and the ports of Dover and Portland. The Poor-law Board Bill was recommitted, and a pro posal of Mr. Ayrton's to limit the duration of tho board to five years was defeated on a division by 88 to 14. The remaining orders on the paper were also disposed of, and the house rose at a quarter past 3 o'clock. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. SOUTHAMPTON RACES.- THURSDAY. Following in the wake of Winchester, and being rein forced by the company from Huntingdon, the attendance at Southampton to-day was very large. In addition to the usual followers of racing there was an immense concourse of pleasure-seekers, the large number of carriages, filled principally with fashionably-dressed ladies, rendering the meeting worthy to be ranked with any reunion in the kingdom. The course is most charmingly situated, about two miles from the centre of the town, the scenery being truly delightful, interspersed as it is with the noble trees and the brillant foliage of underwood. The weather was very fine, and the management in every department being of the highest order, nothing was wanting . to render the meeting eminently successful and enjoyable. The racing admits of but little description. Challenge added to his winning score by carrying off the Hampshire Stakes, albeit not without a severe struggle with Moose; and Bouqueti6re redeemed a hitherto unfortunate career by placing the South-Western Plate to the credit of her owner. Details of the day's sport are appended : Tno Trial Stakes of 5 SOW each, with 40 added ; for throe yr-olds and upwards; selling and other allowances. Ono mile.

Betting —t to 4 on Reindeer, 5 to 1 agst La Sorrentino, 100 to 15 each agst Evergreen and Gentian, and 20 to 1 each agst Miss Alice and Knight Templar. The latter made play, closely attended by Evergreen until reaching the foot of the hill, where La Sorrentina and the favourite drew away and finished on exciting race home, resulting in favour of old Reindeer, who stayed the longest, by a short head. Evergreen was a bad third, Gentian fourth, and Knight Templar last. The winner was claimed by Mr. Ten Broeck.

Opposite the stand Clement brought up Chivalry, who challenged Apron Strings, and won cleverly by a neck. Our Mary Ann was a bad third, Miss Camerine fourth, Snowdrift fifth, Toy sixth, Spiteful seventh, Cecil eighth, and The Demon last.

Betting-3 to 4on Bouquetiere, 4to 1 agst Rally, 7to 1 agst Wild Dove, and 10 to 1 agst Alarmist. The start was delayed by the fractiousness of Sunnyside, hut when the flag fell they got away on equal terms. After going 100 yards the favourite took up the running, and won in the commonest of canters by three lengths. Half a length separated second and third, Alarmist was fourth, Rinaldo fifth, and Crossfire sixth. Sunnyside did not pass the post. The. winner was bought by Mr. Hope for 310 guineas.

Betting-7 to 4 on Challenge, 4 to 1 agst Moose, 8 to 1 ngst Blaek.Prince, 10 to 1 agst Chevalier d'Esprit, and 12 to 1 agst the Maid of Mash= filly. The moment the word was given Little Wideawake rushed to the front, and soon held a clear lead of Challenge and Chevalier d'Esprit, clear of whom came Moose and Black Prince, the Maid of Masham filly bringing up the rear. They ran with little variation for a mile, when Little Wideawake, to avoid a track, was compelled to pull out of the way as they rounded the turn, and this left Challenge with a slight lead of Moose as they came into the straight. For the last half mile the race was a match between the pair, and at the distance Moose appeared to have the best of it. The moment, however, Mordan called upon the favourite ho answered with extraordinary gameness, and, getting his head in front opposite the stand, won au exciting race by a neck. The Maid of Masham filly Was a bad third, Black Prince fourth, Chevalier d'Esprit fifth, and Little Wide awake last. Immediately after the race there werebut offers() to take 100 to 1 about Challenge for the St. Leger, 5 to 1 was the highest price tendered.

The latter made As our experimental knowledge of gunnery ad vances, the great windbags inflated by the breath of opponents are pierced one by one, and collapse accordingly. Four or five years ago we were told that rifled guns were mere sha ms , and c that the 68- pounder would be, " with a few insignificant excep tions," the gun of the future. The " insignificant exceptions" have, however, developed into an array of ordnance so formidable that a ship armed with 68-pounders is now considered as hardly armed at all. When iron targets had attained a point from which they defiled all but the strongest guns there was a great cry that the Americans should be fol lowed in their pursuit of heavy smooth-bores, and the air was full of dismal forebodings, prophesying 1 " Woe to the nation that bows not down before the great American intellect ! There is but one system of ordnance, and Rodman and Dahlgren are its Prophets." It was in vain that scientific officers de clared their power of calculating accurately enough for practical purposes the results which must follow the action of known charges of powder upon known shot in known guns. Their opinions were treated as theoretical ideas, which would be dispersed on the first actual trial. So at last a real American big gun has been brought over to this country, with powder and shot of American manufacture, being precisely the ammunition used by the United States' Government. After a few rounds to ascertain velocity, &c., the gun was fired on Wednesday last at a target commonly known as "the 8-inch with Warrior backing." Now, this target was erected for various experimental purposes, its stiength being designed to just resist a 9-inch rifled gun with steel projectile, and it was found to answer the purpose exactly. The only 9-inch projectiles which have penetrated it have been Palliser's shell at 200 yards, and they not always. The 10-inch gun, however, can conquer its resistance without the least diffi culty. The 9-inch gun weighs 12 tons, and throws a shell of about 2501 b., with a battering charge of 431 b. of powder. The 15-inch American gun weighs 191 tons, and its shot range from 4531 b., the weight of the cast iron projectile, to 4981 b., that of the steel shot. Its battering charge is 601 h. of American powder, equal to 501 b. of English powder. A rough compa rison of these two descriptions of powder may be interesting : American. British L. G. Rifle. Number of grains to an ounce, about 25 ... about 500 Percentage of ingredients — Nitre ... ... 761 ... 75 . 3 Sulphur 10.2 10.3 Charcoal 134 144 Moisture 1 . 2 ... 1.07 Density 1 . 71 But the trial was not only that of a gun against a target, but of material for shot also, and it must at once be acknowledged that the American cast iron shot proved itself to be excellent—not as good as steel, but better than any ordinary English cast iron that we are accustomed to see in projectiles. To give the gun every chance it was placed only 70 yards from the target. It will be remembered that a round shot loses its velocity more quickly than an elongated one, because with the same weight it ex poses more surface to the resistance of the air. The gnu having been carefullyloaded and directed against a sound part of the target as well as its rough tangent scale and sights would permit the spectators ran to earth ; for the life of an American firing battering charges can only be insured at a very high premium, the rule laid down being that 20 rounds with such charges are as many as should bo fired Unless in cases of great emergency. There were men upon the ground who expected to see the gun victorious, so when the roar of the discharge and the blow upon the target were heard, and the last splinters—of what? shot or target ?—had fallen, the faces that emerged from the bomb-proof shelter wore an eager expression, and speed rather than dignity was the rule as the visitors and members of the Select Committee ran towards the target. There it stood, unpierced, and at its foot a broken and misshapen black lump—the shot that had struck it. The blow had taken effect just at the lower edge of the upper plate, so that the force fell upon part of both plates, and, therefore, upon a rather weak portion of the construction. Nevertheless, the depth of the indent was only 4 inches, the hole measuring across 14 by 13 inches. The plate was buckled five inches at the deepest part, the total diameter of the portion thus bent being 40 inches. In rear two ribs were slightly cracked, and five a little bulged. The .plate was not pierced, the back ing was not reached, the skin was intact. No en trance bad been found for a single drop of water, no man would have been hurt unless he were leaning against the side of the ship when the shot struck. The projectile had done all that it could, and showed by the large mass which remained up splintered that its failure to penetrate was due to no weakness in itself. A better cast-iron shot could hardly be seen. For the next round a spherical shot of No. 6 Pontypool iron, cast in sand, and weighing 452.51 b, was painfully lifted to the muzzle of the gun and rolled down upon a charge of American powder, similar to the first. This time more work was done upon the shot, less upon the target. The indent could not be measured, because part of the projec tile remained in the hole, the rest being dashed to pieces, leaving the broken surface almost flush with the face of the plate. There was a horizontal buckle of I.6in. over sft. No harm was done to the back of the target. The third round was fired shortly afterwards, an excellent shot of Firth's steel being employed. Everything had been done to obtain a good projectile, even to hardening it iu oil, and it well sustained the character of the firm. But it could not get nearly through the target. leave its work unaccomplished, it hun e , from the face of the plate, and when shaken d o .s ut A s p r if o t l r o u l d h i tiding afterwards by the blow of another shot near , - Th er e was a c losed an indent of 8.2 iu. deep. lly over a dis buckle of 1.4 in., dimi nishin g tance of 40in.

Whether the metal was not q uite so goo d, or whether, as is possible, the shot is steadier at the longer range than at the shorter, certain it is that the penetration was only 191 in., and the hole made was greater in diameter than was due to the size of the shell. A 9-inch shell made a hole ilin. in diameter, bq did not disturb the s kin. This is a problem wort •y investigation.

The New Free Press of Vienna publishes the pro test of the Consuls in Galatz against the persecution of the Jews. It is addressed to the Prefect : GALATZ, July 15. The undersigned European Consuls have been made acquainted by public report and by precise information with the painful events which took ' place yesterday in the port of Galatz. Eight or ten Jews were expelled the country on last Saturday by order of the local authorities. The police put them on board a small boat, and carried them to the Turkish side of the river. Amongst these poor people was an old man, so infirm that two persons had to help him into" the boat. Instead of taking them to the Turkish station of Satoka, they were conveyed by the soldiers in charge to an inhabited Island opposite Galatz, which was inundated with water, and landed in the marshes, as was done on previous occasions. The Turkish soldiers picked them up on Saturday, and brought them back to Galatz, intending to leave them at the station of the port-captain. Instead of receiving the outcasts, who were now exhausted from fatigue, and who we are assured are Meldo-Wallachia.n subjects, they were pushed back into the water With the butt-ends of muskets and with bayonets. Two Jews, namely, the old man and a younger person, attempted to re turn to the Turkish vessel, but they were carried away by the current and drowned. The Boum= guard made no effort to save than, although_they sank near the bank, whilst the Turkish vessel made off rapidly. The Mercury, a steam-vessel belonging to the Austrian Danubian Company, got ready to save them, but was too late. The remainder were at last received and imprisoned, after having been left a long time in the water exposed to a burning sun. We do not know whether there were any foreigners amongst the Jews, but in presence of the notorious persecutions to which the Jews of this country are exposed, we consider it our bounden duty to protest with energy in the names of the Go vernments we represent against this act of bar barism, and to throw before the civilised world the whole responsibility of it on you, the prefect, and on the superior authorities." ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICAN LIFERAF7. SOUTHAMPTON, Thursday Evening. The American liferaft Nonpareil, 43 days from New York, arrived here between 5 and 6 o'clock this evening, and ikmoored off the dock shore. This daring adventure has been conducted by John Mikes, captain, and a crew of two, named Geo. Miller and Jerry Mallene. She is only 24ft. long and 12ift. broad. The raft, which has two masts, consists of three cylinders, pointed at each end, united together by canvas connections, having no real deck, and is strengthened by boards slipped under strong iron neck-pieces, the whole kept together by lashing. A waterproof cloth, hung over a boom, closed at each end, somewhat resembling a gipsy tent, affords sleeping accommodation, two at a time, and the third keeping watch. This is fixed on a strong locker in which the provisions are kept. The raft lay to seven times from stress of weather, and the last vessel spoken was the John Chapman, a week since, from which they were given a fowl, which is still alive and well. They have arrived with 30 gallons of water to spare. The captain was poorly two days during the passage, otherwise all have been in perfect health, and the men are in good spirits, their countenances looking healthy and bronzed by the weather. They had no chronometer on board, and sailed by dead reckoning, and corrected their position by vessels they spoke. There is a smaller raft on deck for use as a boat. The raft was kept perfectly water-tight all the way, not a leak of any sort having occurred. Sue is fitted with an ap paratus for filling the tubes with air. On the arrival of the raft, Mr. J. R. Stebbing, the President of the Chamber of Commerce, went on board, congratu lated them on the success of their daring enterprise, and tendered them any good offices that might be required. The captain landed on his arrival to re port to the United States Consul, Capt. J. Britton. THE YORKSHIRE MOORS.—The alarming accounts of the " grouse rinderpost" have caused earlier inquiries than usull to bo made as to the prospects for the 12th proximo on the extensive range of moorlands reaching from Scarborough to the Tees. Nino of the principal watchers report that the birds are scarce and more or less disoased, and that the young brqptis are puny and very few in number. Late storms have done harm too. Following the example of the owner of the Bowes Moor, some takers have resolved not to shoot at all this season.
