~~ Z MONEY RKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLoca. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday closed quietly with a heavy feeling, and prices Were without much alteration. The sales were es timated at 3,000 bales (500 of which were taken on s peculation, and 500 for export), comprising 50 Pernam and Maranham at 7d. to 71d., 100 Egyp tian at 6id. to 71d., 400 Surat at aid. to 51d., and 40 Sea Islands at ls. 2d. to ls. sd. per lb. The Railway Share Market was dull, but at the close was rather firmer. In describing the state of the piece-goods mar ket, Messrs. M‘Nair, Greenhow, and Irving write from Manchester as follows Prices, we need not mention, have been and con tinue to be exceedingly irregular.

Mr. G. BUTT considered this clause out of place. To make it applicable much that was left out of the bill ought to be ins7erted. Ledath; rJamptn, t.; tmeng ?rives this day. Ba:4.i.ess this day. Sir G. GREY opposed the clause on the gronod that it was a difficult and dangerous thing to take cit , es out of the general application of the law. The tame rea sons for making such a provision did not apply here as in the eaie of the Fac•.ory Act. After a few remarks from Mr. INGHAM, the commit. tee divided. For the clause 3 Against it Majority -122 The houso then resumed, and the bill was reported and ordered to be printed. The Endowed Schools (Ireland) Bill passed through Committee. The Copyhold, &c., Commissions Continuance Bili was read a third time and passed. DISSENTERS' MARRIAGES BILL. Mr. CHEETHAM moved the omission of clause 3 relative to the publicity of marriages, which were con trary to the feelings of the great body of Dissenters. The mode of publicity required was by affixing a notice of the same at the doors of the chapels, which that body thought an objectionable mode. Mr. W. COWPER could not see what objection there could be to this mode of publicity. It was a common practice to affix notices at church and chapel doors, such as the list of voters, &c. Mr. CHEETHAM proposed as a substitution that the notice should be put in the registrar's office for 21 days. The original mode of publicity was inserted to meet, at the Vine of the introduction of the bill, an objection of the Government, but it was not now required. Sir G. GREY said the notice put in the registrar's office could not be considered so great a publicity as if affixed at a church door. The question was not as between Churchmen and Dissenters, but for other pur poses. As no notice had been given by the hon. gentleman he proposed that the clause as it at present stood in the bill should remain, and the question be considered at a future stage of its progress. The consideration of the clause was postponed. Clause 8, relative to the payment of fees on marriage by licence was postponed, it being the feeling of the house that the fees fixed by the act should not be more, but as near as possible those paid at the Established Church. Clause 11, providing for the payment of a fee to the Registrar, and ss. to the Superintendent Registrar, was opposed by Mr. T. DIINCOUBE. Sir G. GREY thought it objectionable that a double fee should be paid. Mr. CHEETHAM said he found himself in a diffi culty in defending the extra fee, the clause having been forced on him by the Registrar-General. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE thought it best to expunge Olio clause. Air. W. COWPER said the Government had no ob jection to that being done. The clause was negatived without a division. Clause 15, providing a place for the solemnisation of marriage for persons who naither attended church nor chapel, the expense to be paid out of the poor rates, was expunged. Two new clauses were added to the bill relative to the Jewish dissenters and Quakers. The other clauses of the bill were agreed to, and the bill ordered to be reported and printed. The house resumed. The Duchy of Lancaster Lands Bill was read a third time and passed. The Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Continuance Bill was read a second time. Lowe was given for the introduction of the following bills ; by the Attorney General for Ireland—bill to en able treasurers of counties in Ireland to receive pay ment of expenses, in certain cases. Mr. Cowper—Bill to authorise the inclosure of cer tain lauds in pursuance of a special report of the Inclo sure Commissioners for England and Wales. Mr. Wilson—Bill to amend an act of the last session of Parliament relating to the sale of spirits by unlicensed persons and illicit distillation in Ireland. The house adjourned at a quarter to six o'clock. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY OF CANADA-(THIS DAY). A special meeting of the Eoglish proprietors of this company was convened by advertisement at the London Tavern, at noon to-day; Mr. J. B. Smith, M.P., in the chair. The advertisement having been read by the Secretary (Mr. Blackstone Baker), and the usual preliminaries having been observed, _ _ The CHAIRMAN said the meeting had been called to gether for a twofold purpose—firstly, of consulting the proprietors relative to raising 1,500,0001. of additional capital ; and secondly, of empowering the English shareholders, who held seven-tenths of the whole property of the undertaking, to vote by proxy at the Canadian Board, and also, at the tame time, to afford the directors an opportunity of giving informa tion to the proprietors in regard to the position and prospects of the company. Having alluded to the re port of a previous year with a view to show the money which had been required to meet the expenses of the line, the lease of the Toronto line and the construction of new buildings, and the manner in which that money had been raised, the chairman went on to call the atten tion of the shareholders to two objects which the di rectors now had in contemplation namely, tho doubling of the line between Hamilton and London, and the completion of the Sarnia branch. He then went on to say that the sum raised by the present call would be sufficient to meet all expenses for the present year ; but if it should be decided upon to carry out the two objects he had mentioned additional money would be required. Adverting to the traffic over the line he said that last year's report had estimated the traffic from July last year to July in the presentyearat 7,000/. (currency)per week. That was the case up to the 21st January last, during which period the traffic averaged 7,4901. per week, but since then the traffic had increased to an average of 9,0001. per week. Whilst the ordinary traffic, as com pared with the last year, had increased fully 50 per cent. the goods traffic had increased by 150 per cent., thus showing that the goods traffic would continue to increase if they maintained sufficient rolling stock for its conveyance. Some difficulty had been experienced in this respect; but the want had been supplied and the rolling stock was now adequate to the amount of traffic over the line. The Chairman concluded, amidst ap plause, by calling upon the late vice-president of the Canadian board (Mr. Lingston) to state to the meeting the results of his personal inspection of the undertaking. Mr. LINGSTON, accordingly, at some length, and with much detail, went into a statement of the.actual working and position of the line, which was in all respects highly gratifying. - Some discussion, originated by Mr. Brooksbank, afterwards took place its to the propriety of the share holders having some control over the money confided to the Canadian Board, and also of their being con sulted previous to any further call being made for the purposes to which it was intended to be applied. The CHAIRMAN said the proprietors might place impli cit confidence in the discretion and care of the Canadian board, who were most anxious to have the co-operatio❑ of the English proprietors in whatever they undertook ; and also stated that the board would be willing to meet the wishes of the proprietors in the respect pointed out. A reso!ution approving of the course hitherto adopted by the board was afterwards moved by Mr. Harris (of Darlington), and was carried unanimously ; and after a vote of thanks to Mr. Lingston and to the chairman, The meeting broke up, the proceedings having occu. pied upwards of two hours. OFFICIAL DESPATCHES FROM THE CRIMEA. 'Prom a Supplement to the London Gazette of Tuesday.) WAR DEPARTMENT, JULY 4. Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch and its enclosures, of which the following are copies, addressed to his Lordship by the late Field-Marshal the Lord Raglan, G .C. R. Before Sebastopol, June 23. My Lord,—l informed your lordship in my despatch of the 19th instant that I would make a more special report upon the movements of the 3d Division as soon as I should receive the reports of Lieutenant-General Sir R. England and the Major-Generals commanding brigades under him. The Ist Brigade, under Major General Barnard, pro ceeded down the W or onzow-road, and was placed in po sition on the right of the ravine, ready to co-operate with the columns of attack on the right ; whilst the 2d Brigade, under Major-General Eyre, moved down the ravine which separates the left of the English from the right of the French advanced works, for the purpose of attacking the enemy's ambuscades, and making a de monstration on the head cf the dockyard creek. This service was performed with the utmost gallantry, and notwithstanding that they were exposed to a most galling fire, the troops maintained themselves in the po sition they had taken up during the day, and in the evening withdrew unmolested, leaving a post at the cemetery, which had been one of the objects of the attack in the morning. Tue action having from circum stances become a most serious one, I beg, as the most satisfactory way of making your lordship acquainted with the particulars, to lay a copy of the Major-Gene ral's letter before your lordship, and to solicit your at tention to the officers whose services he particularly notices, and at the same time to his own distinguished conduct. Your lordship will see with concern that the loss sus tained by this brigade is very considerable, and that Major-General Eyre is himself wounded ; but I have every reason to hope that the Injury he has received is not very severe, and will not incapacitate him from the discharge of his duty with the same energy and devo tion as he had already applied himself to its performance during the protracted operations before Sebastopol.

The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. Hammond's Estate Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. Sir T. TROLLOPE presented two petitions from South Lincolnshire, praying for reform of the Univer sity of Cambridge. Lord R. GROSVENOR, presented a petition from Kilburn, praying for a reform of the Metropolitan Burials Act ; also petitions from Basingstoke, Chelsea, and other places, praying the house to pass a law to prevent all Sunday trading except works of charity or works of necessity. LORD RAGLAN. The resolutions agreed to yesterday in committee of the whole house for granting a pension of 1,0001. a-veer to Lady Ra;la,n, and 2,000/. a-year to the present Lord Raglan, were reported. The resolutions were adopted, and leave was given to bring in a bill founded on them. On the motion of Mr. CRAUFURD, The Truck Act Amendment Bill, which stood for second reading, was, owing to the lateness of the session, withdrawn. IVIORTMAIN BILL. The house then went into committee on the above bill. All the clauses (seven in number) having been agreed to. Mr. MOWBRAY moved to add a clause after clause 6, as follows :—" And whereas it has been held, on the construction of the first recited act, that a pecuniary bequest to or in trust for any charitable use is void under the provisions of the said act, to the extent of the pro portion which the assets of the testator, consisting of personalty savouring of realty, bear to the assets of the testator consisting of pure personalty ; and if the assets of the testator consist en- tirely of personalty savouring of realty, then that such bequest is wholly void, and by the rules of courts of equity the assets are not marshalled in favour of such bequest, whereby the lawful intentions of testa tors are often disappointed ; be it enacted, that •no pe cuniary bequest to or in trust for any charitable use contained in any will or codicil made after the passing of this act shall fail or abate by reason only that the assets of the testator shall consist wholly or in part of personalty savouring of realty, but every such be quest shall be pay a bl e as we ll by and out of such as sets as last aforesaid, as by and out of any assets con sisting of pure personalty, in the same manner in all respects as a pecuniary bequest of like amount made by the same will or codicil to a purpose not charitable would have been payable if the same had been substi tuted therein for such charitable bequest, anything in the said recited acts, and any rule or practice of equity to the contrary notwithstanding." Sir G. GREY said, in the absence of the Solicitor. General, he should not at present offer any opposition to the clause. Any objection that the Solicitor-General might have to it could be made at a future stage of the till. The clause was then added to the bill. Mr. G. BUTT then moved the addition of the follow ing clause to clause 6 :—" And whereas by the herein before recited act passed in the ninth year of the reign of his late Majesty King George the Second, it was also enacted, that from and after the twenty-fourth day of June, one thousand seven hundred and thirty-six, no sum or sums of money, goods, chattels, stocks in the public funds, securities for money, or any other personal estate whatsoever to be laid out or disposed of in the purchase of any lands, tene• ments, or hereditaments, should be given, ap p o inted, or any ways settled in trust or for the benefit of any chari table uses whatsoever, unless such gift, appointment, or settlement of any such sum or sums of money or personal estate (other than stocks in the public funds) were made in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as are by the now reciting act enacted and prescribedin reference to corporeal or incorporeal hereditaments, and unless such stocks were transferred in the manner and s ubject to the conditions in the same recited Act also enacted and pre scribed in reference to such stocks : and whereas doubts have been entertained as to the meaning of the last here inbefera recited enactment, be it enacted, that no be quest contained in any will heretofore 07 hereafter to be made for any charitable uses whatsoever, which bequest is or shall be valid in all otter respects, shall be deemed to be null and void within the meaning of the last hereinbefore recited enactment, unless by the will containing such bequest it shall be imperatively re quired that the subject matter of such bequest shall be laid out or disposed of in the purchase of lands, tene ments, or hereditaments." The clause was added to the bill, and the bill as amended was ordered to be considered on Friday next. DWELLING-HOUSES (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the order of the day for the third reading of this bill, Mr. DUNLOP moved the insertion of a clause to enable labouring men to acquire housei un der the Act by a cheap, easy, and secure method oftran sfer, in lieu of the present vexatious system prevailing in S cotland. Mr. G. BUTT seconded the motion, whi ch was also supported by Mr. WiLKINSON. The CHANCELLOR of the EXOEIEQUER sug gested the postponement of the third reeding of the bill till to-morrow, in order that he mighshave an oppor tunity of consulting the Commissioners cfln land rev enue on the f op u e r r t a h t e i r en co o n f s t id h e e r p a r ti o o p n os o ed f ethlaeubseir was t postponedhe revenue. accordingly. The Stock in Trade Bill was rear a third time and passed: COAL MINES INSPECTICN BILL. The house went into committee on the above bill. Clauses up' to 17 were, after & me amendments, agreed to. On clause 18, which stated the act should not apply to Ireland, Captain SCOBELL moved that the clause be struck out. He could not see why acts a pplicable to Ireland and Scotland should not be extended to that country. Sir G. GREY said it would be impossible to apply this bill to Ireland without great alterat i ons were made in it. If it was desirable the provisions of this bill should be extended to Ireland, It was ve r y easy to pass a similar bill for that country. Captain SCOBELL saw no reason why the clauses passed could not be altered to meet the objection he had raised. Instead of being one Parliament legislating for the whole kingdom, they were $ Parliament legislating separately for England, Irelani, and Scotland. He should divide the house on it. Sir G. GREY considered it would be unfair to Ire land to apply this act to that country without an oppor tunity of consulting the Irish members. Besides, there were frequent cases and instances in which it was ne cessary there should be special legislation for Ireland. Lord LOVAINE suggested the 'withdrawal of the amendment. The feeling of the house being against the amend ment, it was accordingly withdrawn. Sir G. GREY brought UP a new clause with refer enceeary f t o o r tthheems safe special rules neces galotefrtahteiomn i o n f es. A discussion ensued, in which Lord Lovaine, Mr. Mowbray, Mr. Hutchings, Captain Scobell, and other in w g or a k n i d n members took part, the noble lord moving an amend ment, on which Sir G. Grey declared his intention to divide the committee. The clause was ultimately agreed to, without a divi sion. Mr. DILLWYN then moved to add the following proviso to the clause :—" That prior t o an y a ppli ca ti on being made to such Secretary of State for his approval of such rules or amendments thereof, a legible copy of the same shall be hung up or affixed on some conspicu ous part of the principal office or place of business at the coal mine br colliery for at least seven clear days. Sir G. GREY opposed it. The committee divided — For the proviso Again-•t it lo3_ Majority -70 Mr. CROOK moved the following clause :—That one of her Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, on the reports and recommendation of an inspector, may em power such inspector to direct one or more actions t , ) be 10SZ fell upon the occasi,tri ; and Itiajor-Gene; ai Codzington mentions the admirable conduct, of Cap•aii Turner, of the 7th root; Major ,Vlandonell, of the Rifle ; Lieut.

Cobbe, of the 4th Regiment, who commanded ie the trenches of the left attack, and is sever .='y woul.ziled ; and Lieut.-General Bentinek culoeises the coueluet of Colonel Lord West, of the 21st Foot, who as sumed the command of th© left collie:ea- after the death of Major-General Sir J.

J. Stuart, and Lieutenants Boileau (who is severely wounded) and Saunders, of the Rifle Brigade. Major-General 11. Jones reports most favourably of the services of the following officers of Engineers : Lieutenant-Colonel Gordon, Lieutenant-Colonel Chap man, Lieutenant-Colonel Tylden, Lieutenant Donnelly, Lieutenant Fisher, and he deeply laments the loss of Captain Jesse, Lieutenant Graves, and Lieutenant Murray, who fell upon the occasion. I must express my obligations to Lieutenant-General Sir R. England, Lieutenant-General Pennefather, Lieu tenant-General Bentinck, and Major-General Codrington for the able manner in which they conducted their duties ; and I avail myself of the present opportunity to inform your lordship that Lieutenant General Penne father, who was then labouring under illness, is now in so bad a state of health as to be under the necessity of withdrawing from the army. I shall deeply regret his departure, entertaining the highest opinion of him, and knowing his devotion to her Majesty's service. I must not omit to mention the following officers of the Royal Navy, who particular:y distinguished them selves on the 18th :—Captain Peel, who commanded the whole of the sailors employed, and is severely wounded; Messrs. Wood (severely wounded) and Daniel, who have been through the whole siege ; Lieutenants llrmston and Dalyell, who are both severely wounded ; and Mr. Parsons, mate, who is wounded; Lieuts. Cave and Kidd, both wounded, the latter mortally ; and Mr. Kennedy, mate. I enclose the returns of oasualties from the 18th to the 21st. I have, &c., The Lord Panmure, &c. Enclosure 1. RAGLAN. Camp before Sebastopol, June 19. Sir,—l have the honour to report, for the information of Lieutenant-General Sir Richard England, commanding the division, that, agreeably to his instruc tions, I moved off yesterday morning between one and two o'clock a.m. wish my brigade, consisting of the 9th, 18th, 28th, 38th, and 44th Regiments—total strength about 2,000 bayonets, and proceeded down the ravine on our left, by the French Picquet-house, for the pur pose of attacking the enemy's ambuscades, and of mak ing a demonstration on that side. In attacking the first of these ambuscades we were anticipated by the French, who cleverly took them on their flank as we advanced in front, and made several prisoners. Beyond this the French had no instructions to co-operate with us ; I, therefore, immediately pushed on an advanced guard under Maj-r Fieldtn, 44th Regi ment, composed of marksmen from each regiment, sup porting it na the right by the 44th and 38th Regiments, and on the left by the 18th Regiment, keeping at first the 9th and 28th Regiments in reserve. The enemy, whose strength I could not estimate, oc cupied a strong position ; their right rested on a Ma melon, their left on a Cemetery. These points were oc cupied by marksmen. The intervening ground was intersected and the road barricaded with stone walls, which our men were obliged to pull down, under fire, before they could advance. In rear of this position, towards the fortress, the enemy occupied several houses, and there were bodies of the enemy seen in the rear, as reserves, but of what strength I could not say. This position, under the fire of the guns of the fortress, was strong, and we could not expect to carry it and retain it without sustain ing a considerable loss, and which I regret to state, we have experienced both in officers and men • but it is gratifying to feel that they all most nobly performed their duty on this occasion. The 18th Regiment pushed on, and occupied some houses immediately under the Garden-wall Battery. The 44th occupied some houses on the right, frem whence they kept up a fire on the enemy's embrasures. Lieutenant-Colonel Lowth moved on with his regiment (the 38th), and after taking possession of some houses in front, endeavoured to turn the flank of a battery which annoyed us in front. These parties were afterwards from time to time reinforced or relieved by the 9th Re giment, the 28th Regiment being drawn up in line in rear to support the whole. Having driven the enemy from these points, I con tinued to occupy them, with the view to ulterior move ments, in the event of the attack on the right being stn• meal, and until it was decided what portion of the ground should be retained for siege operations. I cannot sufficiently express my sense of the conduct of the officers, non-commitsioned officers, and men ' on this occasion. They att ac k e d th e enemy i n the first instance with the utmost gallantry, holding their ground until late in the evening, although exposed all to day to a concentrated fire from the guns of the fortress, in addition to which I believe the enemy brought up some field-guns, and kept continually firing shells. The losses occasioned were considerable, the total being 31 officers, 44 serjeants, and 487 rank and file, killed or wounded. At n.hnn t five n'oloar in the evening, after giving orders for the removal of the wounded to the rear, the gradual withdrawal of the parties from the front the ground being too far in advance to be permanently occupied for siege operation—l gave over the command of the bri gade to Lieutenant-Colonel Adams, 28th Regi ment, having received a wound in the head in the early part of the day, which prevented me latterly from attending properly to my duties. The enemy did not attempt to molest the troops on retiring. The con duct of all was so exemplary during this trying day that I can scarcely with justice particularise individuals. I have, &c., (Signed) WM. EYRE, Major• General. SHIPPING _RETURNS.

The clerk at t be table having read her MajegtfA most gracious inessag - Lord PAN/ LURE, in rising to xneve that her Majesty's most gracious message be now taken into consideration, said he trusted the house would bear with him vs bile he discharged his most painful duty. It was not only the loss of those that had fallen in th e field, but also of ethos° who had fallen victims to disease, that the coun try had to lament. They we re now called up o a to record the national feeling ofsorrow learnini ;that an illustrious individualhad been taken from them, in whom the army had the greatest confidence. It had' Teased God to remove by disease Lord Raglan from the he ad of the army in the Crimea ; and it was a singular fact that the same calamity should have fallen upon both of those commanders who had been placed at the head of the French and Englisharmies. France had to lament St. Ar naud, and England to mourn for her Raglan. It was scarcely necessary for him to remind their lordships of th e great services Lord Raglan had 'rendered to his country. At an early age he embraced the profession of arms. In 1807 he was selected and associated with the late Duke of Wellington, and was placed on the staff of that great corm:wander upon the occasion of the expedition to Portugal. The Duke of Wellington select sa Lord Fitzroy Somerset to be attached to his staff, and an intimacy continued from 1807 to 1552, to the termination of the Duke of Wellington's life, during which the noble duke reposed the gr ea t es t confidence in Lord Raglan. There was not one great engagement in which the Duke of Wellington had been engaged, in which Lord Raglan had not to bear a con spicuous part. At Waterloo, Lord Raglan lost his arm, and at the close of the war Lord Raglan, instead of retiring into private life, still continued his services to his country. From the close of the last war until the very moment of his la mented death his unceasing exertions were still given to the cause of his country. If there was one point more conspicuous in the services of Lord Raglan than another, it was that he had established the alliance and the most friendly relations between the armies of the two countries -- an alliance which it was hoped would never be shaken. Of his amiability he could himselfspeak, for it had been his hap. piness to have been associated with him for six years. The noble lord having observed that Lord Raglan had been called upon to take the command of that army at a time when there was not a man that could do it better, delivered into the hands of the Lord Chancellor the re ply to her Majesty's most gracious message. The LORD CHANCELLOR then read the reply, which was an echo of the royal message. The Earl of DERBY passed a brilliant eulogimin on the deceased commander, dwelling in most forcible language upon the more prominent features in the career of the noble lord. He observed that the military services of Lord Raglan, his long connection with the most illus trious captain of our day, whose confidence and friend ship he possessed to an extraordinary degree, the services which he performed in the civil administration of the army—above all, the disinterested and noble manner in which, at the call of duty, he again girded on his sword, and the manner in which, at the head of his army, he has performed the most arduous and the most important duties, entitle hint hardly less than his great master and chief , to the reaped and veneration of the country at large. Lord HARDINGE, after expressing his deep regret at the loss of his noble friend, with whom he had been connected nearly fifty years in the service of his country, said, whilst regretting the misfortune which the country had sustained in the loss of Lord Raglan, he hoped that a worthy successor would be found, and that the operations of the campaign would be conducted to a successful issue. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, having been associated with his noble and illustrious friend, trusted their lord ships would permit him, as a humble member of the army which Lord Raglan so ably commanded, to say that he cordially agreed with what had fallen from his noble friend the Minister at War, and did not think that, in the whole army or in this country, there could be found one individual who could have conducted him self in a manner so well calculated to combine the pro ceedings of the allied armies, and to insure that intimate association which was so absolutely necessary to success. The Earl of CARDIGAN also paid a brief tribute to the memory of his deceased commander. _ _ After a few observations from the Earl of GALLOWAT and the Duke of BEAUTORT, Earl GRANVILLE said that her Majesty's Govern ment rejoiced at the unanimity of feeling which had been shown by their lordships on this most sad occasion—a, feeling which he believed to be a faithful echo of the, regret experienced by every class of the community. In Lord flagletn's confidential letters to the day of his death there was not one angry word against the persons who made charges against him, and in one of his last letters/ he expressed a strong belief that of all who had thought it their duty to complain of his conduct, there was not one single person who was actuated by any feeling of towards him. Now, there did not exist in the War-office one single despatch bringing the slightest ac cusation of any sort or kind against our brave and gal lant allies, or describing a single transaction which could give colour to any imputation against them. There was not a man who did not feel regret that Lord Raglan, who had not only an English but a European character, as being the bravest and gentlest, one of the most chivalrous and one of the best men that ever sacrificed his life in his country's cause, should be taken from us at this moment of difficulty. The Earl of ELLESMERE and Lord BROUGHAM having expressed their cordial concurrence, The motion ,was unanimously agreed to, and their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at six o'clock. OPENING OF THE CRYSTAL PALACE ON SUNDAY. Sir J. V. SHELLEY gave notice that, early next session, he should bring in a bill to legalise the opening of the Crystal Palac© on Sunday. (Hear.) THE DECORATION OF THE BATH. Admiral WALCOTT asked the First Lord of the Trea sury whether it was intended to recommend the issue of the existing decorations of the Bath, without refer ence to the projected order of merit, contemporaneously with the eminent services which deserved them, espe cially at a time when gallant officers, some, indeed, already formally recommended for distinction, were in hourly exposure to loss of life ; and, therefore, in the case of death, whether it would not be proper to date back the Gazette which rewards the survivors, in order to include the names of the fallen, as a national acknowledgment of the merit of these who died nobly for their country, and a sacred heirloom of their fa milies. (Hear.) Lord PALMERSTON said that the Order of the Bath would be issued without reference to the Order of Merit ; and with regard to those officers who had been recommended to receive the order, but who bad been pre vented by death from receiving the honour, their names would be published in due course, in order that the pub. lication might grace their memory.
