In consequence of the abolition of the Stamp Duty on Newspapers the, public in all large cities and towns to which parcels are forwarded by the News-Agents, The Sun, which formerly cost Fivepence-half penny for the Latest Edition, containing Parliamentary Debates of the same even ing, together with the List of Army and Navy Promotions in the London Gazette, with Official Despatches from the Seat of War, the Latest Sporting, and all other Commercial News, List of Bankrupts, &c., &c., can now be had for Fourpence, being a saving of nearly one-third. Hitherto the price of the paper was nomi nally Fivepence, but all Late Editions posted after six o'clock were charged a fee of One Halfpenny by the Post-office, which made the price to the Subscriber Fivepence-Halfpenny. This charge must still be made to those in remote places, unless the Postmaster-General have the magnanimity to forego such a paltry source of revenue. Swn-ogice, 112, Strand, London, 9th July, 1855. CirriSt4,L-4-A-4/7.; fA„IAN, 4? c, AIMI LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 20, 1855. The " light cloud has passed from the moon." The last opportunity during the present session for retrieving the damaged reputations of many " honourable gentlemen " has been wantonly dis regarded. The safety, honour, and welfare of the British nation has been ccnsidered of less im portance,than the personal convenience and amuse ment of those who, having undertaken the dis charge of ard , rous and important duties, delibe rately violated the trust, and consented to a dis creditable compromise between duty and inclina tion. If, after the events of the two last sessions, any doubt could have existed as to whether the nation was properly represented, it must have been completely removed by the proceedings of the week, which must have greatly exhausted the almost universal desire for a speedy ts appea l to the country." As to the division itself it was exactly as we had anticipated, and the views to which we gave expression were powerfully corroborated by what actnally . occurred. There were 471, or in cluding the Speakers and Tellers, 476 pre sent at the division; of whom 182 voted for, and 289 against, the motion—leaving a majority of 107. There were also 42 pairs, so that altogether 561 members are accounted for, and there are doubtless some few of the absentees for whom valid excuses may be offered. ' - There are, - however ; nearly 100 who should be called on-to explain. the causes of their unaccountable apathy on a question of such surpassing interest and vital importance to the nation. We trust that the division lists may be closely scrutinised, that every man may be called to account for the vote he has given. But even a wrong vote was better than no vote at all ; the chief delinquents are those who, without adequat e cause, strove to struggle out of their responsibi lity. From these perscns we hope that a heavy reckoning may be exacted, and that they may re ceive a decided proof that such conduct cannot he practised` with impunity. These who were altogether deterred from voting, or who shelved the importsnt subject for the sake of avoiding the threatened dissolution, should rece i v e an early intimation of the opinions of their constituents, and an unequivocal hint that, as they no longer represented those opinions, the sooner they made way for more determined and earnest men the better. This divisien list should, therefore, as we have already stated, be carefully scanned by every independent voter"-aye, and non-voter—throughout the United Kingdom, for as we are told by the opponents of the ballot they exercise a legitimate influence on the elections in their respective localities. The discussion last night was very different from that of Tuesday evening. It was no longer a petty skirraish, conducted with " pop guns" but a fierce conflict, in which the heavy artillery participated. The Atttorney-General PpoLe, as he always does, brilliantly and effec tively) but he Dhowei the weakness ei hi, cause ► by the vituperation in which he indulged against the high-minded, consistent, and incorruptible member for Sheffield. It was as palpable as if his brief had been exposed, that the inistructions were, "We have no case—abuse the plaintiff's actorney I" What might he not have said had his able advocacy been enlisted on the other side ? As it was his mind was too logical to permit a direct denial of the premises. He cortld not, in the face of the Report, which so far as practicable strove to shelter the Ministry, deny that there had been just grounds for complaint; but he argued with considerable effect in favour of "limited liabi lity," and, to shield Lord PALMERSTON and his col leagues, not immediately concerned in the manage ment of-the War, from the censure that had been decidedly merited by some of their quondam col leagues. This defence—and it was decidedly the best which circumstances admitted—was repudiated by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who, having been so re cently made a scapegoat by his colleagues and so unceremoniously expelled the Cabinet, was com paratively indifferent to the stability of a Govern ment in which he had no place, and was also de sirous of extending the Ministerial responsibility, so as to divide the odium which he has incurred with the colleagues who still retain " power, patronage, and pay." We must say that we so far concur with the Noble Lord, although we must admit that the arguments would have pro ceeded with a much better grace from any other quarter, and without such biting acerbity and palpable vexation. He, too, followed, in the abuse of the plaintiff's attorney, or rather of the faithful and efficient counsel for the People—the manly, energetic, and indefatigable ROEBUCK. Sir GEORGE GREY made a twaddling speech, in which he did not give any intimation as to whether he concurred with Lord JOHN Rus- SELL in thinking that the Austrian terms might be accepted. That is a subject which will remain involved in mystery, so long as it can pos sibly be maintained ; and it is obvious that the House of Commons will do nothing to dispel the cloud. Lord PALMERSTON followed his colleagues in a somewhat similar strain, though with far greater brilliancy and effect. Like the others he attacked Mr. ROEBUCK, rather a bad symptom, as to the soundness of his cause. Of the Opposition, Mr. WHITESIDE made a vigorous and powerful onslaught on the offenders ;. and he was sustained with great effect by Mr. DISP.AELI, who reserved himself until after Lord PALMERSTON had spoken. Mr. BRIGHT also made a desperate attack on Ministers. What a pity that the Hon. Gentleman is arrayed in drab garments, and that he is a., monomaniac on the peace question ; how vigorously he would pound the Ministry unJer different circum stances. We must, however, be contented with what we can. The Government has succeeded in shirking . the unpleasant topic for the present session, but it will be long before they can recover the home thrusts so unsparingly administered by WHITESIDE, BRIGHT, and DISRAELI, the wounds from which must long rankle in their sides. As it is, but for the season, the result might have been very different indeed, and they would not have had much cause to pride themselves on the postponement of the indictment on which they were so justly arraigned. With all convenient speed our Ministers will now get rid of their catechisers. RORBUCK and LAYARD, DISRAELI and lIILNER GIBSON, and all the troublers of ISRAEL will be dismissed to their tents. The Press alone will be left as the guardians of the people's interests, and the super visor of its servants. How much they need such a supervisor the Crimean revelations of last winter, denied at first by the guilty, but after wards ratified by a Parliamentary Committee, are proof sufficient. A foreigner once expressing to an English Judge his surprise at the small num ber of persons present in our courts of justice, " Sir," was the reply "we sit in all the daily papers." We suppose our Ministers will make the same reply when we insist en the mischief of pro roguing Parliament. We want, however, the assistance of counsel to enable us to report in the most efficient manner the conduct of our Ministers. The Press can put no questions by giving a few days' notice ; or if it does, it can get no answer. Custom, etiquette, and for aught we care to dis pute, the circumstances of a constitutional country and a free Press, quite forbid the descent of her MAJESTY'S servants into the arena where all others contend. It is reserved for despotic Governments to have the Government journal which can speak wi th State authority. We, on the contrary, can hear nothing as authentic from the Government unless it has come to us by the Parliamentary channel. A somewhat arctic zone this of ours in the poli tical sense ; for six months we enjoy such light in Governmental matters as continental states never know, and for the next six months we are plunged into darkness unknown in the countries of the Moniteur or the Invalids Busse. Perhaps some of our readers will be inclined to stretch our illustration, and to tell us that our boasted free Press is, meanwhile, no better than the unsteady and misleading light of the twilight,the moon, and the aurora borealis. If so, there is no help for it ; we must give the best' light we can. Before we part, then, with our •Ministerial catechisers we insist that they ought to demand explicit declarations from Government on several points. It may not appear to be the greatest of them, but we just now place among the first the Danubian Principalities. Our readers are aware that there are fresh rumours of sacrificing these misused countries to the odious rule of Austria. She in return is to give up a portion, of Lom bardy to Sardinia, and Turkey is to be recom pensed by the Crimea. We hope, in the name of all justice to the nations, that there is no truth whatever in the rumour. Except in regard to the Tartars in the Crimea, who are known to pre fer the Turkish rule, all the other arrangements are purely arbitrary, and ignore entirely the rights of the inhabitants of the countries them selves. Probably Lombardy,- or the "por tion" of it, might prefer the Government of the country which sheltered its exiles to the lying Government which sequestered their estates, but they have an indefeasible right, which centuries of HAPSBURG brutality can never destroy, to choose their own Government— they might - prefer Incorporation with Sardinia, or they might not ; but it is not for us to repeat the villanous policy of 1815, and to give away people as if they were but toys for one despot to present to another till all were contented. But as to the Principalities, it would be a crime as had as the partition of Poland to make a present of them to Austria. They would weep tears Of blood, quietly disposed as theysare, at the thought of coming under the heels of •the most cruel and perfidious dynasty which disgraces a continental throne. A dynasty utterly insensible to the nobility of Hungarian or Lombard patriotism, which has indeed but one single aim—to repress every aspiration for liberty, civil or religious, and to subject all to the discipline of bureaus and to the darkest superstitions of Popery. We have no right thus to sacrifice these pro vinces. They must infinitely prefer their nominal connection with the Turkish empire, and their real independence under their own Hospodars. They have, if they be delivered from Russian interfer ence and the Danubian trade be thrown fully open, every prospect of speedily becoming wealthy and flourishing. Th ey w ill b e f o r a long time to come one of the granaries of Western Europe, and will form a growingly noble addition to the political status of the Turkish empire. The purpose f or which Austria wants them is obvious enough ; they would not only *give her a better hold on the na vigation of the Danube, but they would enclose Hungary and Transylvania in her domains still more completely, and isolate still more those countries of freemen from the world without. The most revolting consideration of all would be that this ignis fatuns of our statesmen, dancing after which they have thrown away time, blood, and money, should gain for her nefarious putposes such t a spl end i d addition to her terr it ory. That sae should have not only done nothing to earn an acknowledgment; but that she should have libe rated Russian troops from the Danube for the Battle of .Inkerraaai s and at this yor'y mount iet THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING:, JULY 20 , 1855 them free from Poland, and sent them to the Crimea. Is it to be tolerated that such a traitor power should filch an inch of territory as a re ward for her base cowardice and treachery ? There are other weighty matters on which the House of Commons ought to pass distinct resolu tions if Ministers put off the country with the old cant about " securing an honourable peace." It should be laid down especially that no country which has been, or may be, conquered from Russia—as the Aland Isles, Circassia, the Pro vinces, the Crimea, or Poland—shall ever revert to her again. The country ought to be assured that Lord JOHN and his time-serving declaration are gone together, and that we mean to deprive Russia of all the usurped domains we can. In like manner we ought to be assured that other places on the Black Sea are to share the fate of the towns on the Sea of Azoff. Odessa at this moment is aiding the transit of troops from Po land to the Crimea. We have a right, too, to require that 10,000 Poles shall not demand in vain to desert from the garrison of Cronstadt while we continue our pusillanimous course in deference to Austria and the Coburgs. For a business people we have the most incon gruous notions of legislation that can well be con ceived. At all events, this is fairly deducible, from the procedings of our legislators, however little it may be warranted by the fact. Session after session bills are brought forward with no earthly chance of passing, and, unless to gra tify two or three over-grown constituents, with no other motive than to afford an opportunity for the delivery of some insufferably tedious harangue. This were bad enough if confined to private members, but perhaps the Government is the greatest culprit of the two. Only look at the Scotch Education Bill, and the farce enacted in the Lords last night in con nection with it. The bill, as the Duke of ARGYLL admitted, is one which pleases no party in Scot land ; indeed, by a singular process of reasoning, his Grace proclaims that to be its great recom mendation ; has been thrice, we believe, brought before the Commons by the Lord Advocate, with, he could hardly fail to be aware, no chance of its ultimately passing, and as often before the Lords, who last night gave it, we trust, its final quietus, in a manner which was sufficiently ridiculous. After considerable palaver, as usual, and the waste of much useful time, the noble mover, beginning to anticipate an ignominious defeat, expressed a desire to withdraw the measure. To this, how ever, with a fine sense of retributive justice, a formidable minority of their - lordships refused their consent, and the result was Ministers had to vote against their own Lord Advocate's Bill to insure its rejection—one only, as it were to in crease the fun, voting for it. We don't mean to say anything about the merits or demerits of the bill, and are magnanimous enough to leave the consideration of the Duke of ARGYLL'S novel mode of ascertaining the merits of a measure to the more metaphysical of his coun trymen ; but we do most earnestly protest against the practice of thus bringing forward again and again objectionable and impracticable measures, with no prospect of success and no other recommendation than that of aiding to demonstrate how mortally mischievous and destructive argumentative dullness can be. Not a session commences but useful measures, with a prospect of receiving the sanction of the House, are spoken of so as to encourage a hope of their being passed, only to be disappointed at its close by finding them thrown into the Parlia mentary waste basket, among its incongruous contents. Surely some attempt to put a stop to this increasing evil will shortly be made. The debris of a session is perfectly appalling. Of so many ambitious legislators, is there not one dis posed to immortalise himself by concocting a bill to lessen the evil ? Can it be that the task is kopeless, or is it that the cure lies with the constituencies ? Do the latter choose their men for their fussiness and wordiness rather than their business talents and good sense, and thereby hold out a premium to vanity and the commission of the evil we de plore If so, and in any case, they cannot look to it too soon. Their own credit, as well as the public interests, are involved in their dealing with it. HONEY MARKF,T AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIG-EltiCE. CITY, Two o'CLoc,:R• The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterd47 closed with a very firm feeling, at the full prices of last week. The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales (1,000 of which were for export, and 1,000 on speculation), comprising 140 Pernam and Maran ham at 7d. to Bd. ; 100 Bahia at 60. ; 400 Egyp tian at 62d. to 9d. ; 2,500 Surat at aid. to 4id. ; and 100 Sea Islands at ls. to is. 6d. per lb. The Railway Share Market closed very heavily, with a decline in prices of per cent. In colonial produce this week a much larger business has been done, and steady prices hays been current. For sugar an active demand hae existed, at firm rates. Coffee has ruled steady, and native Ceylon has been taken at 48s to 48s 6d. Rice has been rather cheaper, but not much has been sold at the reduction. Cocoa is dearer, and rum, though steady, has been very quiet. Salt petre has been at a slight advance. Spices have been in limited request. The public sales of indigo have proceeded steadily. Tallow has been rather firmer. The market for United States investments is firm.

The report which is to be presented on the 24th inst. at the proprietary meeting of the English and Australian Copper Company describes the causes of the interruption to the proceedings of the company from the attraction- of the gold fields, ac., but states that labour is again flowing into its orinary channels, although smelters and furnace ma sons were much wanted. The Commissioners of Emigration here have been requested to send out persons of this class, and have favourably entertained the application. From March 18, 1854, to January, 1855, the total of copper smelted at the works was 511 tons, and the quantity of ore consumed during the same period was 2,149 tons, and of coal 2,648 tons. The quan tity of ore shipped to England since the last gene ral meeting is 1,755 tons. The manager feels con fident of restoring the company's affairs to a sound condition if he is furnished with furnace-men and mechanics, waggons and coal, all of which the directors have made arrangements to supply without delay. The Company's copper sustains its high reputation in India. The profit at the Spitty works during the year was 9,0361. The Funds are very quiet, but money purchases have caused an improvement to 901 and 911 in Consols for transfer, although for account they have not been higher than 901 and 91.

EXPENSE or DRAWING EILLS.—A return moved for by Mr. Locke King, M.P., shows that the sum of 1,6801. was paid to Messrs. J. J. Longdale and C. S. Greaveg (840/. each) as remuneration for drawing nine bills on the criminal law of England, and 3151. to the Hon. G. L. Elliot for preparing the Bribery and Con troverted Election Bills of the session of 1854. A Parliamentary return, moved for by Mr. Moffatt, appeared yesterday, of all warehouses in London, and the outporta of the kingdom, which have been approved by the Board of Customs for the deposit of tea without payment of duty. A return, printed yesterday at the instance of Mr. Hastings Russell, shows that in England and Wales, in the week ending March 24, 1855, there were 2,016 wives and 4,102 children of militiamen receiving out door relief. _ . _ The constabulary force in Ireland consists of 35 county inspectors, 246 sub-inspectors, 329 head constables, 1,714 constables, 352 acting constables, and 9,422 sub constables ; making 12,107 men of all ranks, with 363 horses. The total cost of the force in 1854 was 596,7591. The Royal Mail clipper ship Shalimar, Captain Amos Robertson, belonging to the White Star line of Liver pool and Australian packetq, cleared yesterday for Mel bourne, and will leave the Mersey to-day for Melbourne, with the bi-monthly mails for the Australian colonies, and 230 passengers, and a fall cargo of valuable mer chandise on freight. The Brunswick, 80, was taken out of Devonport dock On Tuesday morning and removed to Keyham, to facili• tate the fitting of her engines. Her armament is to- be as follows :—Gun-deck, 10 3-inch guns, 65 cwt., 9 feet long -18 32-pounders, 56 cwt., 9 feet 6 inches. Main deck, 4 8-inch, 65 cwt., 9 feet long-24 32 pounders, 50 cwt , 9 feet in length. Quarterdeck, 24 32-pounders, 42 cwt., 8 feet in length, RAILWAY MassoEns.---At the great meeting at Shef field last week, on Aaministrative Reform, one of the leaders, a friend of Sir Charles Napier, paid a tribute to railway men, which deserves record, especially after the Sibthorpian sneer of Mr. Drummond. He said " I be lieve that if such practical men as our railway managers had been employed—such experienced beads as Braith waite Poole, of Liverpool : Waticin, of the IVlancliest r and Lincoln ; Adcock, of Worcester ; Ilbery, of the Southern and Western ; Nash, the ferreter of depreda tions and bubbles—we should not have had the horrid history that we have had. It the talent of the country had fair play, we should not have seen such ' mistakes' as we have had admitted on all hands. No person can go into a Government depot and not observe tiler dif terenco frog privatp atabliAnients." ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. Last night Meyerbeer's long-expected opera, Le Etoile du Nord, was produced here, and met with the most trium phant success. The plot of the opera is so well known that we feel it unnecessary to enter into it on this occasion; we therefore omit it, and merely give the cast of characters, which will convey a good idea of the magnificent manner in which the work was performed. The part of Catharine was sustained by Mdlle. Bosio, that of Prascovia by Mdlle. Marai, Natalia by Madame Rudersdorf, Echimona by Mdlle. Jenny Baur, Peter by Herr Formes, Danilowitz by Gardoni, the Corporal, Gritzenko, by Lablache , Yermoloff by Si g . Tagliafico, Giorgio by Si g . L uc h es i, Itainoldo by M. Zelgor, and Tch6rernetieff by Sig. Polonini. The music throughout the opera is very beautiful, and combines ori ginality of ideas, boldness of effect, variety, and freshness, without any sacrifice of dramatic colouring. The overture was so beautifully given as to receive the honour of • an encore. The rising of the curtain, the opening couplets of Danilowitz, with the charming accompaniment of wind instruments and chorus, was exceedingly effective. The duet, "La nobil voce," between Catharine and Peter, was exceedingly beautiful, and was rapturously applauded. In the second act Lablache has.a very catching buffo song, which he gave capitally. The third act is a succession of beauties. It comprises a romance, by Peter; a duet, in which Giorgio and Prascovia recount their travels; and the dre :my wanderings of the mind of Catharine. Mddte. Bosio as Catharine was exceedingly beautiful ; Lablache as the Corporal was capital; and it is almost unnecessary to say that Formes as Peter presented a most artistic im personation. The mis en scene was magnificent, and the composer is under great obligations to the talented stage manager, Mr. A. Harris, for the manner in which he has "put the opera on the stage." Altogether the performance of last night must be called a triumph. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.-July 19. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDBNT.) ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIOENCR.—ArrivaIs July 14.

TO THE PREMIER. While England's Premier cracks his joke With jaunty, youthful air, What if her neck beneath the yoke Should pass, through his "Don't care Y" He in himself should be a host In England's evil day, For hardly can her helmsman's post Be now a game of play. How long will England's sons be mute ? How long delinquents screen ? Hew long devour the bitter fruit Bequeathed by Aberdeen ? With Garter, lo! himself did deck, That '• Old Man of the Sea ;" Would that it were around his neck, Instkad of on his knee! His curses are on every tongue, And he is " on the shelf ;" Though by his eyelashes he hung' To place, and power, and pelf I Already "in the future looms" Just such a fate for thee ; Premier ! be warned, ere England dooms Tby frivolous policy. Already men are found whe call (The millions at their back !) The Ministerial changes, all, Mere "sheings of the pack." And onward, slow but sure, doth creep For all a fearful dole, Through whose misdeeds has entered deep The steel in England's soul.

The Emperor yesterday received General Count de Crenneville, who returns to Vienna. " The children of Lucien Bonaparte who are almost now in Paris," says the Siecle, "have just been painfully afflicted by the intelligence of the death of their mother, which took place on the 12th inst. at Smigaglia, in the Roman States." An Imperial decree dated yesterday confirms the grant of the military medal made bythe commander in-chief of the army of the East to 30 marines, gunners, and sailors, who have distinguished them selves before Sebastopol. The Moniteur publishes a decree making a con cession to Messrs. Vautherin, Guenard, and Begad, representing the Franche Comte Iron and Foundry Compaby, of a railway from the mines of Ougney to the Dijon to Besancon line, and thence to the Canal from the Rhone to the Rhine. The Moniteur says :—" In order to favour small capitalists who seek in the rente a bona fide invest ment, the subscriptions to the loan of 750,000,000 fr. for 50f. of rente and under are not liable to reduc tion. But as attempts at speculation may prevent the object of the Government from Whig attained, the Minister of Finance, to prevent abuses, has decided that collective demands for 50fr. route and under shall not be admitted, and that the same subscriber shall not be allowed to divide a larger sum into several demands of 50fr. Subscriptions made contrary to these prescriptions will be an nulled." We read in the Pays :—" A letter, in an Eng• lish journal, has again to-day alluded to a circular in which Count Walewski is said to have announced to the French diplomatic agents that the Western Powers no longer felt themselves bound by the four guarantees. Our private information enables us to state in the most positive manner that no such circular is in existence." The Panama steamer took her departure on the .17th from Marseilles, having on board 450 soldiers, belonging to the 35th Regiment of the line, 56 horses, and 500 Russian prisoners, who are to be exchanged for as many French soldiers. Propositions for an exchange of prisoners having been accepted some short time back between the belligerent parties, M. Wasilieff, a Russian arch priest, arrived lately at Toulon with the mission of fixing the bases of this operation. The condi tions having been agreed to, the Russians who have been taken out by the Panama are to be restored -to their country. The New Yurk and the Swift sure left Marseilles on the above date for the East, the former with 80 men belonging to the artillery and 150 horses on board, and the latter with 150 men and 253 horses.

INQUIRY INTO THE ALLEGED MISCONDUCT OF THE POLICE.—(Tnis DAY.) The Commissioners took their seats this morning in the Exchequer Court shortly after 11 o'clock. Mr. James F. Galbraith, 177 Piccadilly, and justice of the peace for Argyle, was in the park on Sunday afternoon, the Ist inst., and walked along the north side of the Serpentine. He spoke to the respectability of the assemblage—anything but the canaille of London—and their orderly conduct between the statue of Achilles and the Serpentine, and the ruffianly and disgraceful charge of police on them. The police were urged on by amounted policeman, who waved his whip, and appeared annoyed that they did not use their truncheons more freely. Their conduct was exceedingly alarming. No warning was given by the police before they charged the people. He walked towards the receiving-bonse, and the people all along were behaving well. The conduct of the police, in three or four of them seizing and carrying of a boy, caused much excitement and ridicule, and when the cabs came for the prisoners the people shouted, in allusion to the connection of the police with the Government, that "law-makers should nut be law breakers." There was no person addressing the as semblage, but the expression of the people amongst themselves appeared to be that it was a contemptible and melancholy affair legislating or interfering about such a trifling thing. He considered the notice issued by the police had the effect of attracting numbers to the Park. He was formerly commissioner of police for Glasgow, and had seen the police act on different oc casions. There was not a mob on this occasion, nor any rioting, and the police did not act with their usual forbearance and discretion. Mr. Charles Daniell, mining agent, 2, Upper Baker street, saw a policeman strike a boy be had in custody a blow on the head. After that he saw 344 A strike a boy a severe blow on the loins, which caused the boy to gra dually fall down from excess of pain. The people cried " Shame," and the policeman slunk away, evidently ashamed of his conduct. The lad was standing out of the crowd and two hundred yards from the railing. Another policeman ran after a boy about 14 or 15 years of age, and, missing bias with his trun cheon, kicked at him, winking at another policeman as if pleased at his manly conduct. From what he heard of the conversation of persons as he passed there ap peared to be more annoyance felt seainst the Sunday Beer Bill than the Sunday Trading Bill. Mr. William H. Heysham, barristsr of the Western Circuit, said he had come off circuit especially to give evidence on this inquiry. He was in the Park, near the Achilles statue, walking towards the Serpentine, when he was advised by a policeman to go no further. He saw a large number running across the Park towards Oxford-street, and he left the Park to proceed home ; by mistake he got into Park-street, and saw a crowd of about three or four hundred persons in front of Lord R. Grosvenor's house ; there were a few " roughs" there, and all he heard were cal a for Lord Robert to give them a speech, to which a gentleman in the crowd replied they would not get it, for Lord Robert was out of town. The invitation to Lord Robert to come out was said as "chaff,'' rather than anything to comps' him to to so. The crowd was rather an aristocratic one, comprised of many of the inhabitants of the street. He saw about 30 or 40 policemen sally out as if from Lord Robert's house and use their truncheons indiscriminately One man was knocked down, and afterwards struck when on the ground by the same policeman, which caused the people to cry " Shame." He saw a gen tlernan who had been struck by a policeman, who pointed out the policeman, but witness was unable to take the number from the scroll work round the figures. He thought it was 184 C. He certainly saw 84 C. The police acted like savages. Mr. Charles H. Elt, bookseller, 18, High-street, Islington, on his way to Brompton on Sunday, the Ist inst., was induced, from seeing the police notice, to g. , out of his way to the P , rk The superintendents of police, who were on horseback, gave their orders in an angry, arbitrary, and he might say brutal manner. The pelice as a body, he thought, acted with moderation. When first he entered the Park, the man who jumped into the Serpentine was not pursued by the police. Witness understood he had been twice apprehended, and escaped. The Park bad much of the appearance it presented on the opening of the Great Exhibition, without the riff-, raff: He thought the police by their subsequent con duct were exciting the angry feelings of the people. Mr. James Carlow, 6, Caledonian-crescent, King's cross. He described•the general misconduct of the police in similar terms to the witnesses already examined. Seeing a policeman in a very excited state—his face pale, lips quivering, and the perspiration streaming down his face—he said in a friendly manner, " 402 A, keep cool, friend." A mounted policeman rode up to him immediately, his horse's head touching witness's shoulder, and called out at the same time pointing to him, "Take that man into custody." Witness, not wishing to experience any ill-treatment, went forward, when he was taken hold of by two of the men, one of them being 402 A, and taken away, the superintendent saying, "he would charge him." He was dragged down the drive by these men, although he offered no resistance, and from 402 A walking faster than his friend he had to proceed crab fashion. On witness complaining of 402 A holding him too tight, lie replied, "Oh, you - want it tighter do you," and tightened his grasp ; and on his remonstrating with him for walking so fast, he forced him along faster. When in Picca dilly the polic3 cabs were not there, and not wishing to walk to Vine-street he c tiled a cab, but the police men refused to let him enter it. When near Swallow street, close to the station, they politely inf irmeti him he might have a cab. At the station house he was charged by 402 A with being riotous arid disorderly, and was locked up in the cell into which Mr. Mair and a barrister were afterwards placed. He passed as plea sant a night as lie could, walking one paue forward and backward. The heat crap exe.es,ive. Witness frequently requested the police to send for bail, but they refu-ed, saying they could not attend.to him from the pressure of business. Afterwards he heard orders had been given to the police to nail no one. The prisoners received petty annoyances from the police en duty at the station. He with others were taken to Marlborough-street about 4 o'clock on Monday afternoon, where, without being brought before the magistrate, they were informed all 'night be bailed who could procure it. On his return to Vine•street station he was locked up in company with six lads, and afterwards bailed about 9 o'clock, When brought before the magistrate on Tuesday he was dis charged without any charge having been brought against him. Cross•examined by Mr. E?lic:—lt was Superintendent Martin who gave him in charge. Mr. Jo.-teph Croker, merchant's clerk, 39, Mincing lane, walked on the north bank of the Serpentine. He described the conduct of the police and their indiscri minate attack on men, women, and children. Several ladies and gentlemen were driven ankle deep into the Serpentine. He heard several remarks made by per sons conversing in groups ; one man said ",tho House of Commons was behind the age," which was acquieec:d in by all who heard it. (Laughter.) [LEFT SITTING.] RUSSIA. A letter from a merchant at Odessa, in the Cologne Gazette, gives a deplorable account of the Russian troops in Southern Russia. It says : " The cholera continues to commit such ravages at Nicolaieff and at Perekop, that it is in con templation to break up the camp of reserve at the former place, and to divide the men among the surrounding districts. .The convey ance of provisions and of troops is attended with immense difficulty, and these steppes ap•' pear likely to become a second Dobrudscba for the Russians. The rays of the sun in these ex posed plains have the effect of poisoned arrows, which kill men and horses en masse. It is almost impossible to make any use of the militia of South ern Russia ; it is badly armed, undisciplined, and prompt to commit excesses. It was thought that this force would be employed to garrison small towns ; and thus relieve the regular troops, but it was soon found necessary to recal the latter in order to keep a check over the former, who give great trouble to the courts-martial." A letter from St. Petersburg of the 10th states that the Grand Duko Nicholas had, a few days before, visited Abo, in order to inspect the fortifi cations of the place, and the batteries on the coast, and that he afterwards returned to the capital. A letter from Warsaw of the 14th, in the Na tional Gazette of Berlin, says : "Travellers who have arrived here, and whose word may be relied on, state that the malle-poste which left this cityjor St. Petersburg on the 11th, was attacked at abdut seven leagues off, by five Circassians of the guard of Prince Paskiewitch ; and although the pas sengers voluntarily offered to give up their luggage and money, they were all murdered, with the exception of a French lady." The Vahtaren ( Watchman), a Stockholm paper gives the strength of the Russian forces in Finland as follows : Four Grenadier Regiments of 3,200 each SixGrenadierßegtments of reserve of 2,600 each 15,600 Twenty-two Battalions of the Line, 600 each 13.200 Two Battalions Sharpshooters, 1,000 each 2,000 Three Marine equipages... 3, 000 Ten Field Batteries, 250 each Cossacks Sappers . 51,350 The amount of cavalry, irrespective of Cossacks, is here not mentioned ; the figures given are the nominal strength of the troops ; the effective strength would of course be somewhat smaller. 'raking altogether, including the newly-raised Finish battalions, the whole Russian force in Fin land is computed at 50,000 men. ITALY. A letter from Rome, in the Piemonte of Turin of the 16th, announces that Defelici was executed there on the day after the Duke and Duchess of Brabant left the capital. Ile was taken to the place of execution in a close carriage, escorted by four gendarmes and half a squadron of dra goons, without being accompanied by any monk or priest. He had refused a confessor at first, but had sent for his father-in-law, who did not, however, obey the summons, but sent him word he would take care of his, the prisoner's family, and recommended him to fulfil the duties of religion. This changed Defelici's previous resolution, and induced him to confess and take the Eucharist. On arriving at the place of execution, he refused to have his eyes bandaged, mounted the steps of the scaffold with firmness, and there received the fatal stroke without shrinking.
