The LORD CILtNCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition against church rates ; and also one from the corporation of Plymouth, in favour of the speedy trial of offenders. The Earl of DARNLEY presented petitions from Ro• chester and Chatham, praying for the entire closing of public houses on Sundays. The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from Fordyce, in Banffshire, against any further grant to Maynootb. THE BRITISH ARMY.—INCREASE OF PAY. The Duke of RICHMOND called the attention of their lordships to the advertisements issued by the War office, offering 100 guineas for the best plans for the erection of barracks for infantry and cavalry, and ex pressed a hope that due care would be taken to provide the most decent accommodation for the wives and families of the soldiers, which would afford the best guarantee for the morality and good conduct of the army. He wished to ask if it was intended to provide such accom rnodation in the barracks as that to which he bad re ferred, and he was also desirous of knowing whether the recruiting for her Majesty's forces was going on satis actorily Lord PANMURE said that the tendency of public opinion as well as the public acts of the House of Com mons in voting supplies for the army was to improve the condition of the soldiers. Although no good had been done in that direction much more remained to be done in the way of accommodation and comfort of the soldier. In respect to tee noble duke's question as to the construction of barracks, the committee appointed to consider the question had not as yet reported, and he was, therefore, unable to say what the result of their enquiry had been. He concurred with the noble duke in thinking that without dry rooms the barracks of the soldiers could not be either wholesome or decent. If married men were to reside in these barracks it was absolutely essential that scecial accommodation should be accorded them. He, however, confessed he was one of those who pre• ferred to see the army without women, and that the young soldier should be taught to do that for him self which was ordinarily done by women. He thought that a young soldier entering the army at the age of eighteen should Lot marry until he had passed his ten years' eervlce. As to the re-enlistment in the army their was no doubt that the present establish ment was much below the necessities of the country. Although a great number had been enlisted, there were neuertheless great losses by war as well as well as by disease. It occurred to the Government that it might be desirable to increase the bounty for enlistment. Hav ing however consulted with the noble lord at the head of the army and other persons of great experience he had been dissuaded from doing so. Her Majesty's Government intended to adopt a plan, although novel in her Majesty's army. That plan was to grant to all soldiers actually engaged in the field double pay but that the additional shilling should not be given to the soldier at once, but should be saved for him in the eavings' bank. It was not to be drawn by him as his regular pay, as he (Lord Panmure) considered the usual rate adequate for all his wants. Should the soldier unfortunately not survive to receive the savings, then the accumulation should go to those rela tions nearest and dearest to him. But should he survive the saved sum would be paid to him, not in lieu, but in addition to any pension he might become entitled to. He trusted this system would be found to work much better than an increase of the bounty, and thai the young men of this country would come forward, and render that assistance which the country at the present moment stood in need of. (Hear, hear.) SECOND READINGS. On the motion of Lord REDESDALE the following bills were read a second time :—Aboyne, Ballater, Braemar and Cairn wall Road ; Gateshead Quay ; Severn Valley Railway ; Executor and Trustee Society ; Hali fax Gaslight and Coke Company. THIRD READINGS. The Leek Improvement and Livesay Estate bills were read a third time and passed. ASSIZES AND SESSIONS BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. After a short discussion, clauses from 1 to 24 were agreed to. [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS-(THIS DAT.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. The Lords' amenJments to the following bills were considered :—Ayr Harbour, Exeter and Exmouth Rail way, Glasgow Water, and Electric Telegraph Company. The following bills were read a third time and passed: —Royal Conical Flour Mill Company ; Westminster Land Company ; Westminster Terminus Railway (Clap ham to Norwood) ; Airdrie Rural District Police (No. 2) ' - Birkenhead and Li ver p oo l D oc k s (T rust P roperty of Birkenhead Dock Trustees, &c.) ; Bradford Corpora tion Water ; Connaught Mining Comp an y ; E as t K ent Railway (Extension to Dover) ; Liverpool Docks ; New River Company and Trustees of the River Lee (No. 2) ; Westminster Improvements. DUBLIN ROADS BILL. On the motion for the third reading of the above bill, Mr. MICARTNEY moved that it be read a third t:nie that day three months. Mr. HAMILTON' opposed the amendment. third Sir reading of the bW. JOLLIFFEiII said he felt b oun d t o oppose the After some further discussion, the house divided. For the amendment .................... 12 A g ainst it The bill was u timatelf read a t hi rd time and passed. Petitions were presented from Ch atham in favour of the bill for preventing the sale of beer on Sunday ; from three towns in Derbyshire, and other places, complain in,; of taxing lead miners for poor rates, a ga i nst the grant to Maynooth, &c. METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill ; the reserved clauses were taken first. On ciauqe 36, relative to the salary of the chairman f the board, Lurd EIriVIOUR was of opinion it would be better to pay the chairman of the board a fixed salary. Thera should he a p roper l y constituted court of appea l in cases of disputed rating. Lord EBRINGTON concurred in opinion with the nielle lord the member for Totnes Captai n DUNCON IBE considered all the members of the board should be paid. That could be done at . _ an expense of 5,0001. per annum, equal to a rating of about one-tenth of a penny in the pound. Sir B. HALL suggested that the house should decide first on the amount of salary to be paid to the chairman of the board, and after that the number to constitute the board, and whether or not they should be paid, when he would prepare a clause to effect that object. Mr. HENLEY thought the more the committee en tered into the consideration of the bill the more the difficulties thickened. He was afraid they were about to constitute a board eminently deliberative, but with very little executive powers. The clause, as further amended, was then ordered to stand part of the bill. On clause 29, Some discussion, in which Mr. Henley, Lord Seymour, Mr. Williams, Mr. Wilkinson, Sir J. V. Shelley, and Lord Ebringtun joined, took place in reference to the proprietyof notice being given to all the members of thel‘lo Metropolitan Board before any matter of impor ' tance was brought forward for discussion, and also as to the desirability of the quorum being fixed at 9. The clause as amended was afterwards agreed to. Clause 125 as amended was also ordered to stand part of the bill, Several new clauses, having reference to rating of pro perty, were then added to the bill. Some discussion took place upon several of the post poned clauses of the bill, and at 4 o'clock the further consideration of the measure was postponed to Tuesday. The house then adjourned to six o'clock. The house resumed at six o'clock. THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. Lord SEYMOUR asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer whether the amount of remuneration to be paid to the architect of the New Palace, Westminster, had been decided upon by the Treasury ; if not, whether any further progress towards the settlement of his claims had been made since the promise given to the house upon that subject in the year 1853 ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the claim of Sir Charles Barry had been under the considera tion of the Treasury, and was now likely to be speedily adjusted. As soon as that was completed, and embo died in a Treasury minute, there would be no objection to produce it. There had been a payment to Sir C. Barry on account, but he was unable to state the amount. ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIESTS TO PRISONS. In answer to a question from Mr. SPOONER, Sir G. GREY said that no Roman Catholic priest was in the receipt of pay from the Government for his attendance as chaplain at any of the Government prisons. . . (LEFT SITTING.) OFFICIAL DESPATCHES PROM FIELD MARSHAL LORD RAGLAN. ( From a supplement to Tuesday's Gazette.) WAR DEPARTMENT, JUNE 28. Lord Panmure has this day received two despatches and their enclosures, of which the following are copies, ad dressed to his lordship by Field-Marshal the Lord Raglan, G.C.B. Before Sebastopol, June 14, 1855. . . My Lord,—Your Lordship will be concerned to learn that the army still suffers from cholera, and that it has increased since the last report. The men in general, however, look healthy, and I hope that the duration of this sad malady will not be long. The reports of the state of the Sardinian army are to day a little more satisfactory. I have, &c., RAGLAN. The Lord Panmure, &c. &c. &c. Before Sebastopol, June 16, 1855, My Lord,—l have the honour to acquaint your lord ship that Lieutenant-General Sir George Brown and Admiral Sir E. Lyons, returned from Kertch yesterday, having fully and successfully accomplished the objects of the expedition to that part of the Crimea. I have the highest satisfaction in drawing your lord ship's attention to the manner in which the Lieutenant- General conducted the duties I entrusted to his charge ; and I entertain no doubt that if he had encountered the resistance which I was led to expect he would have met with, the result would have been equally advantageous, and would have reflected the same credit upon his ar rangements, whilst the efficiency and gallantry of the troops would have been brought into stronger light, But it is a matter of great joy that so much should have been done without the loss of a life. He feels greatly indebted to General Dautemarre and Reschid Pasha, who commanded the French and Turk. ish troops respectively, for their ready co-operation and assistance. It has afforded me the most sincere pleasure to have the opportunity of personally congratulating Sir E. Lyons on the success Gf the expedition, for which he was from the first so warm an advocate, and to which he always attached the highest importance, and on the re sult of the attacks upon the enemy's possessions in the Sea of Azoff. The excellence of the arrangements for the bombardment of Taganrog does infinite honour to Captain Lyons, of H.M.S. Miranda, and at once testi fies his ability, determination, and gallantry. The progress of the works against Sebastopol since 1 reported to your lordship on the 12th has been per fectly satisfactory, and new batteries are completed, which will enable both the English and the French armies to resume the offensive with the utmost vigour. I enclose returns of the casualties which have arisen to the 14th inst. I have, &c. RAGLAN. The Lord Panmure, &c. &c. &c. P.S. I have just received a letter from Col. Shirley, in which he expresses his regret at having omitted the name of Captain Peel, 34th Regiment, who was severely wounded in the successful attack of the Quarries on the 7th ult., where he highly distinguished himself.

The following letter has been addressed to a contem porary : Sir,—Sir Charles Wood speaks better than I do ; he had also the advantage on Friday night of having ~ he last word, and the further advantage of speaking es a Cabinet Minister, presumed, ex officio, to be thoroughly acquainted with the facts, and to speak the truth end nothing but the truth. I therefore fear that many mem bers of the house and a portion of the public may have come, somewhat hastily, to the conclusion that he is in the right and that I am in the wrong. I have been most anxious to put in a rejoinder to Sir Charles Wood's reply and counter-charges, and thought I had found an opportunity of doing so this evening, on the motion of Mr. MalMs ; the Speaker, however, in formed me that I was precluded by the rules of the house, and I therefore addressed this letter to you. I pledge myself, on the earliest opportunity the rule of the house will permit, to meet and disprove every charge and im putation cast upon me by Sir Charles Wood ; until then I claim that the house and the public should suspend their judgment, and in order to show that I have fair grounds for the claim, I will take two or three of the accusations against me, and show how dishonestly I have been dealt with by those whose position ought to have taught them what I hope to teach them ere long— that honesty is the best policy. I will first take the case of the Robert Lowe. I stated that she bad been absurdly ordered by the Admiralty to proceed to Newcastle, on her way to Portsmouth, in order to take in 12 tons of combustible stores for the Crimea. Sir Charles Wood states that the quantity to be taken in amounted to upwards of 50 tons. A letter, however, in my possession from Sir James Graham, dated October 25, 1854, " insists that the Robert Lowe shall be ready to proceed to New castle to take in 12 tons of combustible stores." Surely, therefore, it is not my veracity, but the correct ness of Sir James Graham's statement of the quantity of stores that is at issue. My real point is, however, not touched by the question of the number of tons ; it was the absurdity and extravagance of sending a vessel of 1,300 tons so far out of her way to ship so small a quantity of stores, at a time when the troops which were to sail in her were so urgently wanted before Sebastopel. The next case is that of the Columbia, a steamer of 2,400 tons. I stated that she was ordered to come round from Glasgow—first to Deptfoed,eto be surveyed; that the owner objected to sending her thither ; that they next proposed that they should proceed to Liverpool for survey, to which the owner also objected, as exposing her to unnecessary risk and causing unnecessary outlay, inasmuch as the surveyor could come to the ship at Glasgow at the cost of a few pounds. In proof of the correctness of this statement I hold letters from the Ad miralty, dated the Bth and 9th of June. Sir C. Wood asserted, by way of reply, that the reason the vessel IN as required to come to Deptford or Liverpool was, that she was to be fitted there, because another vessel, previously fitted in the Clyde, bad been very badly done. Survey ing and fitting are distinct things ; it would be reason able that the vessel, after she had been surveyed and accepted, should be sent wherever the Admiralty pleased to be fitted, but it was utterly unreasonable that she should be sent all the way to Liverpool or Deptford in order that the Government inspector might there decide by his survey whether the Government would have the ship fitted or would have nothing to do with her. I stated, further, that the European was hired to the French Government, because her owners were disgusted at the difficulties raised by the Admiralty. Sir C. Wood assured the house that she was rejected because her height between decks was not sufficient to allow her to take in horses, for which a height of 7 ft. 6 in. is required. Now, the height between decks in the European is 7ft. 61 in., as may be proved by actual measurement, the height of the Oneida, to which Sir Charles Wood refers in his speech, and which was taken up by the Government a short time before for the conveyance of horses, is only ift. 4in. From this it follows that the comparative merits of Sir Charles Wood , a_veraaity and mine may be ascertained by a foot rule ; and I ask for no greater favour than that they may be submitted to that practical test. I cannot expect you to spare me space to say more. I think I have said enough to show that Sir Charles Wood's answers have been evasive, unfair, and I might say dishonest ; and I pledge myself, as soon as the forms of the house will allow, to prove that he has in regard to my coal contracts stated what was incorreet —that the ships he named were not unseaworthy —that a ship was ordered from Deptford to Woolwich for survey—that the owner of the Tynemouth did not state what was untrue— that that ship did proceed to sea within one hour of the time when thelast of the Government stores were on board and that the circular written by Mrs. Chisholm and signed by me, by the perusal of which he endeavoured to excite the merriment of the house, was a matter which re dounded as much to my credit as the case of the ship which bears my name, and by mention of which Mr. Drummond had previously endeavoured also to amuse the house at my expense. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, June 26. W. S. LINDSAY. THE SCREW STEAM-SHIPS EUROPEAN AND COLUMBIA N. The following letter has been addressed to a contem porary := _ _ Sir,--We notice from the report of Friday evening's proceedings in the adjourned debate on administrative reform that Sir C. Wood, in referring to the above named steamers, has fallen into two inaccuracies, which we ask the favour of your allowing us, through your columns, to correct. With regard to the European, Sir C. Wood is reported to have said that she was declined because " the height in 'tween decks was not sufficient to allow her to take in horses, for which a height of 7 feet 6 inches between decks is required." The height of the European in 'tween decks is 7 feet 61 inches, being in excess of what Sir Charles says is required for horses, though we are aware that steamers with a less height have been taken up for cavalry transports, and as he has referred to the Oneid3, chartered by the English Government, we beg to inform him that her height in 'tween decks is only 7 feet 4 inches. The official at the Transport Board who furnished Sir Charles with his " brief" for the defence en this occa sion must have his chief "advised" more in accordance with facts on the next. In endeavouring to explain as to the Columbiai Sir C. Wood evades the point at issue, and endeavours to make it appear that the object of the Admiralty in insist ing upon this vessel being sent round to Deptford was to have her fitted up ; but our communication from the Admiralty distinctly stated that such was for the pur pose of survey, and that the steamer would be taken if approved. The survey was to the owners, of course, the only important matter ; that over, and the vessel ready, she then went on pay; and it was to them a matter of complete indifference where she was fitted up. So far from our objecting to send her to Deptford for this latter purpose, in our desire to meet the Government in every reasonable way, we offered to delay the steamer's going on pay until her arrival at Deptford, provided she was surveyed in the Clyde ; so that we should know that an expense of nearly 1,000/. might not be sacrificed to some equally valid objection as that now adduced for the re jection of the European. We do not quite clearly understand whether the warning remarks addressed personally to Mr. Lindsay, with which Sir Charles prefaced his attempted explana tions, referred to the European and Columbian, as well as to the other ships alluded to ; if they did, we beg to state that neither Mr. Lindsay nor Mr. Gladstone has been, directly or indirectly, connected with the two steamers named, nor does the former "give directions concerning them, or interfere in every possible way with their management," and therefore it must have been on public grounds only that the member fer Tyne mouth brought the matter before the House of Com mons on Friday evening. As the inaccuracies into which Sir C. Wood has (inadvertently no doubt) fallen in his reply to Mr. Lindsay's observations may make it appear that the owners of these steamers, and not the Government, were to blame in the loss of them to the British service at a time when the latter does not attempt to deny that cavalry transports are much wanted, we desire the opportunity of putting our selves and our co-owners right in the matter. We have no regret at the failure of the negotiations, save that which every one must feel at the continued perverse blundering of the Government officials. Our pecuniary interests are not injured in the present instance thereby, and an experience in the transport ser vice of both Governments has proved to us that the satisfaction and comfort with which such tra,nsa,ctions are carried out in their details are all in favour of the French. As an evidence of the business promptitude with which that Government conducts its affairs we may mention that within 48 hours after the offer of the Co lumbian was accepted she was surveyed and approved, and tracings of the sections of the steamer forwarded to Marseilles, in order that fittings might be at once pre pared and ready to put up on her arrival at that port ; and, as she sailed on Friday last, we may expect that within a month her first cargo will be delivered in the Crimea, by which time, according to the proposition of the English Government, she would only have been ready to receive cargo at the port to which she might, have been ordered fog such after fitting up at Deptford.

ADMIRALTY, JUNE 28. Despatches, of which the following are copies, have been received from Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, Bart., G.C.8., Commander-in-Chief of her Majesty's ships and vessels in the Mediterranean and Black Sea : OPERATIONS IN THE SEA OF AZOFF. Royal Albert, Straits of Kertcb, June 12. Sir,—l have - the honour to enclose, for the informa tion of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, copies of three letters from Capt. Lyons, of the Miranda, reporting the destruction of Marioupol, Gheisk, and Kiten near Arabat, of immense quantities of grain, flour, and hay, destined for the supply of the enemy's army in the Crimea ; so great was the quantity that in some cases the conflagration had not entirely subsided when last seen on the eighth day. 2. Thus, in the space of a fortnight, the Sea of Azoff has been swept by the Allied squadrons under Captain Lyons's orders, and the enemy deprived not only of the supplies which already existed in the different depots, but also of the means of transporting the coming crops. 3. I have also the honour to inclose a copy of a letter from Capt. Lyons, speaking in terms of high praise of the officers and men employed in the launches of the fleet, and in the Danube and Sulina tenders.' 4. Considerable skill, vigour, and promptitude have characterised these operations, and I trust that their lordships may consider that credit is due to all employed in them. Opportunities offered for individual distinc tion, which were eagerly seized by the officers whom Captain Lyons particularly mentions, and whom I beg leave to recommend to their lordships' favourable con sideration.—l am, &c., (Signed) EDMUND LYONS, Rear-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief. To the Secretary of the Admiralty. Her Majesty's Ship Miranda, Marionpol, June 5, 1855. Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that having anchored yesterday evening off this place with the ships under my orders, and six French steamers, I sent Lieu tenant-Commander Horton of the Ardent, accompanied by a French officer with similar orders, at daylight this morning, to demand the surrender of the place, on ex actly the same terms as those offered by us at Taganrog ; and I desired him to express to the authorities the earnest hope of mpelf and of the French senior officer, that they would not oblige us to resort to measures which would endanger the whole town, as our object was to destroy all contraband of war, but to respect private property. _ _ Al the expiration of the delay granted, no author ised person appearing, I sent the line-of-battle ships' launches (lent to the squadron) and the boats of the ships under my orders, with all the marines under Lieutenant Macnansara, R.M.A., the whole commanded by Lieute nant J. F. C. Mackenzie, of this ship, to effect our ob ject by force; the French boats accompanying ours. 3. On the marines and a body of French small-arm men landing, under cover of the launches' guns, 600 Cossacks, commanded by a Colonel, evacuated the town, and the marines and the French small-arm men advanced and took possession of it ; the very extensive stores of grain were fired and destroyed by parties under the directions of Captain Lejeune, of the French Navy, and of Lieutenant Swinburne, of this ship, every care being taken to cause as little damage to the town as possible. 4. Thus was a considerable town on the military high road from the provinces of the Don to the Crimea (the only one left since our occupation of this sea), held un molested possession of by a small body of British marines and French small-arm men, for five hours, while immense stores of grain were destroyed. 5. The grain, plank, and other stores considered as contraband of war, being effectually destroyed, the whole party re-embarked without the slightest accident. 6. Lieutenant Mackenzie conducted this service with excellent judgment; and he speaks in high terms of the judicious manner in which First Lieutenant Macnamara, Royal Marine Artillery, posted the Royal Marines and Royal Marine Artillery under his orders, in presence of a superior force, who were thus deterred from venturing to molest them.--I have, &c., (Signed) E.

Sir,—l have the honour to inform you, that on my art ival here this morning with the vessels under my or ders, and the launches of the line-of-battle ships, accom panied by four French steamers, I sent Lieutenant Commander Horton, of the Ardent, with whom was associated a French officer, to demand the surrender of the place on thh same terms as those offered by us at Taganrog and Marioupol. These terms having been wisely acceded to by Colonel Borsikoff, the Mili tary Governor, whose small force was quite inadequate to defend the town, the marines of this ship, under Fir,t Lieutenant Macnarnara, R.M.A., and a French party, landed and destroyed a vast quantity of hay, stacked on the beach, ready for conveyance to the Crimea, and several thousand quarters of wheat, &c. During this time Lieut. Horton and the French officer went through the town, and bad all the store-houses and ma gazines thrown open for their inspection, in order to see that no evasion of the terms was attempted, and that all contraband of war was destroyed. 6. On this as well as on the two former similar occa sions Lieutenant Horton conducted the interview with much judgment and firmness.— I have, &c., (Signed) E. M.-LYONS, Captain.

Ardent, Kiten Bay, June 10. Sir,—l have the honour to report that, on my arrival here yesterday, having failed of setting fire to the stores of flour by means of shells and carcases, I took advan tage of a favourable state of weather in the evening to drop the Ardent's bow close in shore, and to veer Mr. Roberts, the gunner, ashore in the dingy, with two men, under cover of musketry from aloft. I bad previously ascertained that no ambuscade was there, and had cleared to a distance the 30 or 40 Cossacks who were watching, by firing round shot in their direction. Mr. Roberts and his party very quickly and effec tually fired all the stacks, and I anchored Ithe Ardent off, to watch the fires. The whole stores are now consumed, estimated by the Lynx at 30,000 sacks. I hay; &c., (Signed) W. HORTON, Lieutenant and Commander. Capt. Lyons, her Majesty's ship Miranda. No. 4 Enclosure.

I should also beg leave to bear similar testimony to the merit of the commanding officers of the Danube au' Sulina, and those under their command, as well as HANNIBAL. Ist Launch—Mr. A. F.

Yesterday, a special general meeting for the altera tion of rules, and for the transaction of the ordinary business at the Ilt'► quarterly meeting, was held at Exeter-hall ; Viscount Ranelagh presided. The formal alteration in the rule, relaxing an implied limitation as to the rate of interest on advances, having been made, The noble CHAIRMAN read the report, which stated, as evidence of onward progress, increased investments in land and extension of buildings on the allotted estates. The whole of the Old Ford, Retford, Alford, and a con , siderable part of the Malvern estates has been sold. The sale of land for the quarter amounted to 6,427/ 104., making a total since the commencement of the society of 109,1111. 104.

Th ere had been an advantageous sub-division of some of the reamaininglots on the valuable Reading estate, which would be offered to the members at the same time on ♦ery favourable terms. The report adverted to the ap proaching proceedings in the Registration Courts, which would be conducted by the society for its members, as formerly, free of expense ; and the committee requested that the necessary instructions and conveyances be for warded to the solicitors in time by the allottees, who are entitled to the freehold franchise.' The noble chaiie man commented on the report in detail, and, in moving its adoption, remarked that he had the happiness to repeat the thrice-told tale summed up in the word suc cess.
