IMPERIAL PAItLI A MENT HOUSE OF LORDS-LAST EVENING. The LOUD CIIANCELLOU took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. THE CLERICAL VESTMENTS BILL. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY postponed the further debate on the second reading of this bill until Thurs day next. THE MARQUIS OF WESTMEATH AND THE REPORTERS. The Marquis of WESTMEA.T II said that he had to bring before their lordships' house a matter of some im portance, and ono which affected the privileges of their lordships. These circumstances wore connected with the conduct of a person in the reporters' gallbry, 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 IGth 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 he 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 tha 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 :—Ona of them who, he had reason to believe, was the same individual who had spoken before, said during the debate on the Tra usubstantiation Bill, " Is there no one to send this confounded old idiot to a lunatic asylum." The Earl of MALMESBURY said that he really thought that the noble marquis had better not go into this matter unless he was able to name some person, as it appeared this was surely a conversation between two persons. _ The MARQUIS of WESTMEATH said that ho spoke on behalf of their lordship; 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 SKIPTON GRAMMAR, SCHOOL. Earl DE GREY moved that this bill should be 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 ho did not son 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 else. It was necessary that the 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 Cranworth, 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.

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 shams, and 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 thelr pursuit of heavy smooth-bores, and the air was full of dismal forebodings, prophesying " 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. S 3 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 strength 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 b. 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 Perceßtage of ingredients— Nitre ... 76.7 75.3 Sulphur •.• ..• 10.2 10.3 ••• ••• Charcoal ... 131 144 Moisture 1.2 FO7 Density 1.71 1.74 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. I o 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 gun having been carefully loaded 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 be 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 had 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 oft. No harm was done to the back of the target. The third round was fired shortly I afterwards, an excellent shot of Firth's steel being employed. Everything had been done to obtain a good projectile, even to harden in g it in oil, and it well sustained the character of t he firm. But it could if loth to not get nearly through th e target.

The Banns of Matrimony Bill was road a second time, after a short conversation. Lord KIMBERLEY then moved the second reading of the Tests Abolition (Oxford and Cambridge) Bill, which ho said was recommended by the sanction of a large majority in the House 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 wore national institutions, which should be open to all her Ma jesty's subjects. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH objected that the bill reopened a question that was settled but a few years ago in the cases of both Oxford and Cambridge. There was no reason for renewed legislation, and the real motive for the bill was a desire to enable persons not members of the Church of England to become members of the governing bodies of the Universities. Ho opposed that innovation because it would lead to the introduction of religious con flicts and to the neglect of religious teaching, reducing the Universities to the condition of mere secular insti- ' tutions, and therefore he moved that the bill be read a third time that day six months. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE regretted that, being Chan cellor of the University of Cambridge, his opinion should be different to that of a majority of those who wore con- First Round —American cast-iron round shot; weight of shot, 4531 b ; diameter, 14.883 in.; charge, 601 b ; American powder; velocity, 1,170 ft. per second; work, 4,290 foot tons ; work per inch of circumference, '21.7 foot tons; in dent, 4in. ; buckled, sin.; plate not penetrated.

PAPER 2.1 . ; dg ..titsl4:o* a 11 616 1'4* 0 trou t 'on om Lbt of the fact quis made, and that only 11 rounds altogether have been fired from them. We find that the penetrative effect of the 15-fuch gun is inferior to that of tha English 9-inch rifled gun under circumstances the most favourable to the former. The American gun 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 l k ton lighter, would be driving every shell through the sides of an ironclad against which the smooth bore could but rap beseechingly and without effect ! Can any one doubt the' issue of a com bat between the two systems of artillery ? The smooth-bores look very big and threatening, 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 ments and manufacture would enable U 3 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 4 , 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 shop 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 11,0301 b. of iron, propelled by above 1,9001 b. of gunpowder, the work done upon it leing over 130,000 foot tons.

Although a few Nonconformists might be admitted to the governing bodies, yet the Collegn, which were not affected by this measure, would still remain under the charge and control of members of the Church, and speaking more particularly of Cambridge ho observed that even were Dissenters to become members of the Senate, yet this could only deckle questions submitted to thorn by the Council, which is elected by the Heads of Hou‘Ses and Fellows. Be sup ported tho 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 one 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 PETERBOROUGH 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, he 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 vensure which should be submitted to the new Parlia ment about to be called under new conditions. Lord CAMPEUDOWN sieported the bill, but Lord Altus- DEL of WARDOUR, as a Roman Catholic, felt bound to sup port the principle of a State Chutcb, and, therefore should vote for the bill. The Duko of St. ALBAN'S, speaking from his expe rience at Cambridge, considered the present system of tests to be most unjust to individuals and injurious to the Universities. Lord STANIIOPE spoke in favour of the amendment. Lord RUSSELL, regarding the Universities as national institutions, conceived it to be only in harmony with the tendency of legislation during the last few years that per sons of all religious denominations should bo admitted to their benefits. Upon a division the amendment was carried by 74 to 46 votes, and the bill was consequently lost. The sitting was closed at 20 minutes to 11 o'clock. lIOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. THE SNIDER MIME. In reply to an HoN MEMBER, Sir J. PAKINGTON sail 216,223 out of 300,000 rifle ordered to be converted had been completed. The con. version was going on at the rata 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 the cattle plague iu Essex. Lord R. MONTAGU said the outbreak of the disease in Essex had not been so extensive as had been stated. Only seven beasts 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 for removal could be given immediately on the expiration of that time. Mr. BRIGHT asked whether other diseases than cattle plague were reported to the authorities, because the price of moat was kept up at an excessively high price. Lord R. MONTAGU said that other diseases wore re ported, but ho did not think the high price of meat was attributable to the cattle plague. BIRCHING - CADETS. In reply to Mr. BAss, Mr. COrtRY 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 abolishing 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. Ho h•id 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 gon Liman's health the bill would not be pro ceeded with. (Hear, hear, and laughter). SUPPLY. On the motion that the houso go into committee a 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 be 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. Ho thought he was altogether transgressing the rules off 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 he 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 he 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 moans 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 he 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, hear.) g principle of recruiti ng th e Sir J. PAIUNGTON said h o cou ld not agree with the he agree with him th a t th e necessary. (Hear, hoar.) noblebarmya ballot ot h l o ian r d d ft t ab h io a l e t 3di, the ilni tei v iat o hw l euarnatmeaettir could 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 lequired, which was three-fourths of the whole quota sanctioned by act of Parliament, was not at all short of numbers. The Volunteer movement, too, supplied a satisfactory answer ; for here were 180,000 men raised on the voluntary principle, and in the face of such a fact as that surely it would not be alleged that the militia could not be maintained without having recourse to the ballot. Looking at all the circumstances, then —the extent of the Volunteer force, 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 lilac° Itt the late elections fur the counties of Waterford and Tipperary, and moved however, was nega went into com mittee vievds owithout o a n of supply. Sir J. PAKINGTON then moved tho remainder of the d t v e i s i s o u n b , j eacnt,dwthhied House, vote for the increase of pay to the 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 Into years in our naval power was one cause which pointed to the necessity of taking steps to increase our military power. For the general purposes of war we had no reserve whatever, though for bomb defence wo 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 proposed to form an army of reserve, to be employed in any part of the world, to the extent of 50,000 mon. Tho first and more important part of the plan was to rely upon our militia to supply a considerablo 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 tho condition that they should 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 mon, to consist of soldiers of the regular army enlisted to servo 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 one 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 tho new 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 Govern ment. General DUNNE had 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 FL 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 Bil' were read a socond 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. Ayrtou's to limit the duration of the board to five years was defeated on a division by 88 to 14. The remaining orders on the imper were also disposed of, and the house roso at a quarter past 3 o'clock. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. SOUTHAMPTON IWiES.-TIPJRSDAY. 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 immpse concourse of pleasure-seekers, the largo 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 Bouquetiore redeemed a hitherto unfortunate career by placing the South-Western Plato to the credit of her owner.

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 loft 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 he answered with extraordinary gameness, and, getting his head in front opposite the stand, won an 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.

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 Cinsuls have been made acquainted by public report and by precise information with the p tinful 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 ou previous occasions. The Turkish soldiers picked them up on Saturday, and brought them back to GalStz, 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 Moldo-Wallachian 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 Rouman guard made no effort to save them, 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. SounumrroN, Thursday Evening. The American liferaft Nonpareil, 43 days from New York, arrived here between 5 and- 6 o'clock this evening, and is moored 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 mon are in good spirits, their countenances looking healthy and bronzed by the weather. They bad 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. Sne is fitted with an ap paratus for filling the tubes with air. Ou 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 thorn any good offices that might be required. The captain lauded on his arrival to re port to the United States Consul, Capt. J. Britton. THE YORKSHIRE MOORS. —The alarming accounts of the "grouse rinderpest" have caused earlier inquiries than usual to be made as to the prospects for the 12th proximo on the extensive range of moorlands reaching from Scarborough to tho Toes. Nino of the principal watchers report that the birds are niece and more or less diseased, and that the young broods are puny and very few in number. Late storms have done harm too. Following the example of the owner of the Bowes Moor, some others have resolved not to shoot at all this season. ......., .„....... - [AD VICILTISEMBNn—Du Barry's Delicious Health Restoring Revalenta Arabic.), Food, which contains three times the nourishment of the best meat, saves fifty times its cost in other remedies, restores perfect digestion, strong nerves, sound lungs, healthy liver, refreshing sleep, functional regularity, and energy to the most disordered or enfeebled, removing speedily and e ffectually indigestion (dyspepsia), habitual constipation, diareacea, hemorrhoids, liver complaints, flatulency, nervous, uess, biliousness, fevers, sore throats, catarrhs, colds, influenza. noises in the head and cars, rheumatism, gout, impurities, erup tions, hysteria, neuralgia, irritability, sleeplessness, acidity, pal pitation, heartburn, headache, debility, dropsy, cramps, spasms, nausea, and sickness, sinking fits, coughs, asthma, bronchitis, incipient consumption, scrofula, tightness of the chest, pains at the pit of the stomach, between the shoulders, Sc.
