In conclwic n; he contended, as he had set out that the true object of this bill was not to relieve the conscientious Dissenter, but to impose a double burden upon the Church of En t f lorid, whilst it gave to the Dissenter all the rights an, I privileges of that church. (Cheers.) Mr. a FORSTER said it appeared to him that the only way in which this much-vexed question could be settled was by the insane proposed by the measure before the house—namely, by the total and immediate abolition of church rat (Hear, 'tear.') He, therefore, trusted this bill might not be plo.ce( amongst the category of measures which were to sta over for settlement until the conclusion of the war, I )1 ! cause he thought that the present was more particular the time when every means ought to he taken to remo v e all differences of religious and sectarian feeling, with a view of cementing a more perfect "union to conquer," an d in the hope, also, of securing an ultimate peace, founde upon a purely religious basis. (Cheers.) Mr. WIG-RAM opposed the bill, believing that its tendency, so far from settling the question at once, was rather to keep the agitation alive. Mr. VERNON, although he was no advocate for Dis senters; being compelled to support an establishment with which they disagreed in principle, and although he was most desirous to see them relieved from such a necessity, ItAmwaxs. Company Cloteng Prices yesterlay. Business this day. at the satne time thought that as the bill had been shor❑ of its proper pretensions, and that it would prove quite inoperative, he could not give it his support. After a few words from Mr. GURNEY, also in oppo sition to the bill, Mr. BENTINCK was sorry to interpose any remarks of his own, as the house seemed anxious to go to a divi sion—but considering the importance of the bill to the country at large, and that the house had therefore a right to expect the presence of some members of the Government—(hear, hear)—and perceiving that there was not a single member of the Cabinet on the Treasury bench, he should move the adjournment of the debate. (Hear.) Admisil WALCOTT having said a few words on the principle of the bill, Lord SEYMOUR said he voted for the second reading of the bill because he thought its principle ought to be recognised ; and he believed there was a very general feeling on both sides of the house in favour of the abolition of church rates. At the same time he had im pressed upon the Government the propriety of its coming forward and setting the question at once at rest. As there was no member of the Cabinet now present he should vote for the further progress of the measure, with a view of showing to the Government the necessity of recognising the duty of relieving Dissenters from the burden of supporting the Church. At the same time, whilst for his own part he was most anxious for the speedy accomplishment of that object, he did not think the present measure went properly to the point desired, but thought it ;ought to be discusied in the hope that something better might be devised. Some further discussion then ensued, after which Mr. COWPER opposed the motion for the adjourn ment of the debate, and also explained that the mem bers of the Cabinet were unavoidably absent in council. Sir S. NORTHCOTE contended that the bill could not touch the particular grievances complained of by his own and other constituencies ; and in stead of making other provision in lieu of church rates as its title implied, it would, if carried, interpose a barrier to any other provisions being made. The bill proposed the voluntary contribution principle as a sub stitute ; but he contended this would only be shifting the burden from Dissenters to Churchmen. He should, therefore, vote against the measure. Mr. SPOONER reminded the house that the motion before them was that the debate be adjourned, of which for various reasons he expressed himself in favour, more especially, however, because he thought that the house ought to have the opinion of the Government on the subject. Lord EBRINGTON who rose amidst loud cries of "Divide," hoped the house would allow the further pro gress of the bill, and thus afford the members of the Go vernment an opportunity of expressing their opinion in committee. Some further discussion then ensued, amidst reiterated cries of " Divide," in which Mr. MowBRAY and Mr. L. DAVIS took part. The house divided, when the numbers were— For the adjournment of the debate... 118 Against Majority 57 The amendment was then put from the chair, upon which Mr. L. DAVIS made some observations, amidst loud cries of " Divide," and " Oh, oh," in opposition to the bill. His remarks, however, owing to the interruption, were quite inaudible in the gallery. Although the hon. member disclaimed any intention of speaking against time, a quarter to six o'clock arrived whilst he was speaking, and the subject, by the standing orders of the house, dropped amidst loud cries of " Oh, oh." Sir W. CLAY afterwards said that, under the cir cumstances, he should renew the discussion of the bill, however late, to-morrow evening. Some other business on th e paper having been dis posed of, the house adjourned shortly before six o'clock. Bedford and Blot7,Vcy Backghamsh. Clydesdale Je. Col. Stour Vy. Sud. and Hal. E.

The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. The Lords' amendments to Cromarty's Estate Bill were considered and agreed to. _ . .

Mr. WALPOLE rose to move that Baron Lionel Rothschild should be heard by counsel on Monday next, before the committee now sitting on the London Writ. He as chairman of the committee had received a letter to that effect from Baron Rothschild, and his request had been very much discussed by the committee. The com mittee had felt there was very considerable difficulty, inasmuch as it would hardly be fair to hear counsel on one side and not on the other. At the same time the application of Baron Rothschild appeared so reasonable that the committee consulted Mr. Speaker, and he sup plied them with a precedent in the case of the late Mr. O'Connell. Mr. O'Connell had been returned, but was unable to sit, as he refused to take the oath of supre macy ; accordingly he applied to be heard by counsel, and his request was granted ; but he was heard by counsel at the bar of the house. The dif ference now was whether Baron Rothschild should be heard by counsel at the bar of the house, or before the committee. He (Mr. Walpole) as chairman of the committee, did not wish to express any opinion on the question, and he should therefore simply make this motion, in which the majority of the committee were unanimous. The right hon. and learned gentleman concluded by moving his resolution. Sir F. THESIGER said he had not the slightest wish to prevent Baron Rothsehild being heard by counsel on a matter which so nearly concerned his rights and inte rests, but he did entertain very considerable doubts of the course which the right hon. member for Midhurst (Mr. Walpole) proposed to take. He begged leave, therefore, to move an amendment, that Baron Roths child be at liberty to be heard by counsel at the bar of the house. (Hear, hear.) Sir G. GREY opposed the amendment, on the ground that the question of law as well as of fact had been re ferred to the committee. Mr. R. PHILLIMORE supported the amendment, and the LORD-ADVOCATE opposed it. After some further discussion, in which Mr. Headlam, Lord Seymour, and Mr. Massey took part, Sir F. THESIGER said he had no wish to put the house to the trouble of dividing. The amendment was then withdrawn and the original motion agreed to. SCHOOLS (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the order of the day for the second reading of the above bill, Mr. BLACKBURN moved the postponement of the second reading for a fortnight. Mr. DUNLOP moved an amendment that it be read a second time to-morrow. The house divided— _ _ For the motion BO Against it 3l Majority Mr. BLACKBURN then gave notice that to-mor row he would move that the bill be read a second time on Monday next. CHURCH RATES ABOLITION (No. 2) BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. FOLLETT rose to oppose the further progress of the bill, on the ground that it was a political and not a re ligious measure, and one intended as the first step towards the destruction of the Established Church in this country. If it was to be said that this measure would not affect the Established Church as a religious body, he would in some measure agree with them—(Hear)—but that it would materially affect the Established Church as an Es tablished Church he considered to be without the slightest doubt. If it were once allowed that the Established Church was not to be kept up by com pulsory payments, and that the State was not to do all in its power to support it, there was an end of the Church of England as an Established Church. If Dissenters were to be exempted from the payment of rates for the support of the Established Church, the principle of an Established Church was at once given up. One reason that had been put forward in favour of the abolition of the Established Church was that it had not done its duty. He denied such a proposition in toto, and in order to show that sufficient accommodation bad been afforded by the Established Church for all, the hon. and learned member referred to a great number of returns, snowing the accommodation that had been afforded by the Established Church in some of the largest towns in the kingdom, and the effect of the voluntary principle, and from these returns the hon. gentleman drew the con clusion that the church had done far more for the hap piness of society than the voluntary principle ; he, therefore, could not see why an establishment that had existed for upwards of 1,000 years, was to be up rooted for the sake of establishing a principle that was evanescent and unstable. He thought the que stion had been argued upon too limited grounds ; it had been onl y looked upon with reference to large towns , while the desires and wishes of upwards of 11,000 pari shes in the country had been entirely overlooked or forgotten. The bon. and learned member concluded a lengthened speech by moving that the house should resolve itself into a committee on the bill that day three months. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL regretted the course that had been pursued by his learned friend. It never could be said that after what had taken place the ques tion of the abolition of the church rates would be allowed to sleep. Would it not, therefore, be far better by some legislation to set the matter at rest, and p ut an end to the heartburnings the dissenters at the pr esent moment felt on this subject. That was the object of the present bill, and a more commendable one he could not con ceive. He thought that nothing was more calculated to lower the church in the opinion of the country than for it to agree at once to a measure like the present, and nothing was more likely toldeerease its popularity than these paltry attempts to throw out a measure when the paltry stun (compared with the incomes of the Church of England) of 300,0001. only was involved. He would not look at the question only as a legislator, but as a lawyer, and in the latter character he must confess he was ashamed of the law as it at present stood. The law as it at present stood enforced an obligation, but there was no means of carrying it out. The result was the law was a complete mockery and a laughing -stock. And what was the consequence ? Why, that church rates in the principal towns in the kingdom had been re fused, and, in some instances, not asked for. To remedy these evils the present bill bad been brought forward, and he trusted the house vveuhl at once adopt it. There might be many objectionable clauses in the bill, but the house having sanctioned its p rinci p le, was it not a wise course to go into committee in order to consider i ts de tails and remedy any of its d efects ! b Lord J. MANNERS supported the ame n d men t, considering i s d e n unjustifiable, the y e very preamble m b e uncalled-for ep as i put forth, le. Sir W. SOMERVILLE , while he admi tted the temperate manner in which t he hon. and learn ed gentle man opened the debate, coul d not but be sur prised at the assertion he had made, n amel y , that the aboli tion of lof te p i r l i l, n church rates would put an end to the Monarchy and the Established Church altogether. lie trusted that the Monarchy and the Church of England and Ireland were placed upon a far sounder and more stable foundation. Could it be denied that since the abolition of church rates in Ireland the Established Church there had been im proved and strengthened, and many heartbu rn i ngs , a nd ill feelings had been put an end to ? If such had been the result of the measure in Ireland, why should it not be equally beneficial in England ? (Hear.) Believing that the abolition of church rates would remove the wall of dissent, he should give his hearty support to the bill. Mr. E. BALL !supported the bill, believing that nothing would be more beneficial for the Church of Eng land than the passing of the present bill. (Hear.) Mr. R. PHILLIMORE supported the amendment of the hon. member for Bridgewater, considering the bill as one that was of a dishonest character, because it gave all the advantages to the Dissenters and deprived the Churchmen of them ; while at the same time it totally disregarded the upholding of the fabric of the Established Church. It did also an injustice to the Churchman by throwing upon him the burthen of supporting the Church, while it gave to the Dissenters the advantages accruing from it. It had been said that church rates could not be raised in large cities, and the city of Westminster had been men tioned. He knew nothing of Westminster, but of this he could assure the house, that in the diocese of London very considerable rates were raised. The hon. gentle man then read a statement, showing that in the arch deaconry of Middling there were only three 0. _ _ OFFICIAL DESPATCHES FROM THE CRIMEA. ( Front a Supplement to Tuesday's Gazette.) WAR DEPARTMENT, JUNI 7. Lord Panmure has received a despatch, of which the following is a copy, addressed to his Lordship by Field- Marshal the late Lord Raglan, G-.C.8.; and has also this day received two despatches and their Enclosures, addressed to his Lordship by Lieutenant-General Simp son, commanding her Majesty's forces in the East, of which copies are also subjoined. Before Sebastopol, June 25, 1855. My Lord,—l am much concerned to have to an nounce to you the death of Major-General Estconrt, Ad jutant-General of this army, which took place yesterday morning at nine o'clock, after an illness of little more than three days ; he died of cholera, and I deeply lament the loss of so estimable a man, and of an officer so anxious to perform his duty. I beg strongly to recommend that Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. W. L. Pakenham may be placed at the head of the Adjutant-General's department. He bas done the duty of Deputy-Adjutant-General since the army was formed ; he is an excellent man of business, and well acquainted with the service in all its branches, and his appointment would not alone be agreeable to me, but would be equally so to General Simpson, who entertains a very high opinion of his qualifications, and reposes every confidence in him. I have reported the death of General Estcourt to the General Commanding-in-Chief, and have mentioned to his lordship my recommendation of Lieut.-Colonel the Hon. W. L. Pakenham.---I have, &c., RAGLAN. The Lord Panmure, &c., &c. Before Sebastopo , Jane 30, 1855. My Lord,—lt is with the deepest regret that I an nounce to your Lordship the death of Field-Marshal Lord Raglan, G.C.8., which melancholy event took place a little before nine o'clock on the evening of Thursday last, the 28th instant. His Lordship expired without any suffering in the midst of the officers composing his personal staff. I have further to report that being the next senior officer present, I have assumed the command of this army, until instructions shall arrive from England. I have, &c., JAMES SIMPSON, Lieutenant-General Commanding. The Lord Panmure, &c. Before Sebastopol, June 30. My Lord—ln this, my first military despatch, lam not aware that there is anything new or of consequence to report to your Lordship. 11 ! , As regards the progress of the siege, there is no great operation yet determined upon, but we are employed in repairing and improving our works, to be in readiness to cooperate with the French, when their approaches towards the Malakhoff shall be completed. The nominal returns of casualties from the 25th to the 28th inst., are enclosed. I am truly sorry to announce that Lieut.-General Sir George Brown departed for England this morning on medical certificate. The 13th Light Infantry has arrived, and disem barked at Balaklava this morning. They will remain there for the present to assist in the duties of the place. I have, &c., JAMES SIMPSON, Lieutenant-General Commanding. The Lord Panmure, &c., &c., &C. SOUTHAMPTON, Wednesday, 9 a.nr.—The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Candia, transport, No. 213, has sailed with troops and horses for the Crimoa. The mercantile letters from Russia contain no indica tions of any probability of an early peace. The demand for produce overland is sufficient to keep the rata of ex change steady at 36d. At this point, however, the exportation of gold is still profitable ; and, notwith standing all the precautions of the Government, consi derable sums are doubtless constantly smuggled across the frontiers. At Odessa business may be considered wholly extinct, and in addition to the dullness thus oc casioned the inhabitants are suffering from intense heat, cholera, and the daily fear of being attacked by the Allies. The instalment of 15 per cent. on the loan payable next Tuesday, the 17th, will complete one-half of the amount. The remaining 50 per cent., or 8,000,0001., is to be met by five instalments of 10 per cent. each, the last falling due on the 18th of December. The terms to be proposed for the new French loan have not yet been published, and as a rumour prevailed in Paris on Monday having been fixed for a fresh attack on Sebastopol, there is a disposition to attribute the de lay to that circumstance. The new Turkish loan is no expected for a month, since, when all the preliminaries are arranged, the passage of the necessary act of Parlia ment will occupy some time. SHIPMENTS OF SPEClE.—According to a statement just issued by Mr. James Low, the shipments of specie from England to India, China, Egypt, and Malta for the half year just ended have been 2,514,0061., of which 396,8471. consisted of gold, and 2,117,1591. of silver. As compared with the corresponding half of 1854 this shows an in crease of 140,9921., although the total export was then unusually large. The proportion of gold, however, is smaller in the present return. The sum inc:uded in the aggregate total as having been sent to China this half year is 833,4661., of which all but 140,5241. was silver. In the first six months of 1851 the total sent to China was 1,289,5481. The recent augmentation in the ship ments to the East has, therefore, been caused exolusfvely ):03 7 the Indian demand. all all all all 92 62i i all all all all In 12 127:, 67 i 811 i 7i 100 i inol 16k 85 4 72 li 43 741 i 13R 131 50A i 12i f 25i 13f 14 21} 1 xd xtt 96 5 Pm 11 pm 13i I3OW STREET (THIS DAY). THE CASE OF MESSRS. STRAHAN, PAUL, AND CO. The above prisoners—Williant Strahan, Sir J. D. Paul, and R. M. Bates—were again placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine for further examination, for fraudu lently disposing of 22,0001. worth of securities, deposited with them as bankers, the property of Dr. Griffith, canon of Rochester. Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prosecteion ; Mr. Bal• lantine for Strahan and Sir J. Paul, and .Mr. Parry for Bates. Mr. Bodkin said that notwithstanding• the utmost diligence had been used by those connected with the prosecution in this case since the last hearing, he was not in a condition to carry it much further tixday. They had hitherto proceeded on the presumption of the accu racy of the prisoner Strahan's statement to Dr. Griffith, that it was his securities that were taken to the house of Overend and Co., and upon which the loan spoken of bad been raised. Inquiries had been made, but they had been unable to find that the numbers referred to and those of the securities in Messrs. Overend's possession corresponded, in order to identify the stock, and it was only fair to add that Messrs. Overend and Co. - had given them every facility for tracing the .securities. The securities to which Mx. Strahan alluded, and since made the subject of a loan, there was now reason to believe were not those of Dr. Griffith, which made it necessary for the prosecutor to have re , coarse to the books of the prisoners now in the Bank ruptcy Court. Application was accordingly made to the official assignee for that purpose, but his 'conduct, to say the least of it, had been extraordinary, - tending rather to defeat than promote the ends of jus tice. Remonstrances, however, bad been made respect ing it, and he had every reason to believe that a different course would be adopted for the future. Yesterday after noon the solicitor for the prosecution received infor mation that every facility should be given him to exa mine the prisoners' books at the Bankruptcy Court for such information as they might require for effectraally conducting the case. Under those circumstances he p -oposed to call only two witnesses, and then ask for a further remand. Mr. James Watts Peppercorn, broker, 2, Exchange bo ildings, identified the purchase notes of Danish Stock pc :rchased by him in Feb., 1850, for Dr. Griffith, through e prisoners. He could supply the particulars of the t ack so purchased. On 29th June, 1843, he purchased 0,000 florins Dutch 2,', per Centg. for Strahan and Co., and on the Bth July, 1843, 10,000 for the same firm; he bad the number of all these securities in his books. Me had had securities from the prisoners on loan, I )ut was unable then to go into the particulars. From : a paper handed to him by Mr. Bodkin he stated it was on the 16th May, 1854, that securities were so deposited with him to the amount of 5,0001. Mr. Ballantine submitted this evidence could not be received. The prosecutor was seeking for evidence on which to support his case, instead of proceeding with the charge of illegally disposing of the securities in ques tion, the property of the prosecutor. Mr. Bodkin said he was compelled to pursue that course in consequence of Mr. Strahan's mis-statement. Mr. Ballantine protested against such remarks being made against the prisoners, who stood in a very peculiar position. Mr. Bodkin said be was only asking for general infor mation,which would be afterwards entered into in detail in private, and then brought before the bench. • Mr. Jardine thought the general question might be asked, and the details examined into afterwards. Mr. Ballantine said the fact stated must be shown to be relevant to the case before it could be received as evidence. Mr. Jardine suggested whether, under the circum stances, it would not be better to remand the case from time to time until the case was perfect. Remands no doubt were inconvenient as regarded both parties. Mr. Bodkin said that, gene - rally speaking, on going to a gentleman's counting house he might refuse to give the information required. Mr. Jardine—ln that case bring the party here and examine him. Mr. Bodkin—So far as the witness in the box was concerned, he had shown every disposition to give all the evidence he could. Examination continued—He succeeded in business Messrs. Hodge and Davis, who were both dead. Mr. Burnard, 69, Lombard•street, stockbroker, re. ceived deposits of Danish and Dutch stock from the house of Strahan, Paul, and Co., in the beginning of the year 1854. These transactions appeared in his books, and he was ready to give every information. Mr. Ballantine said he was not there to oppose a full and fair examination of the case, for by that no doubt much of the obloquy under which the prisoners rested would be removed. The charge was one of embezzlement, so far as Dr. Griffith's securities was concerned, in support of which no evidence had been produced, or from which a conclusion could be drawn of the prisoners' probable guilt. He asked the bench to admit the prisoners to bail, because there appeared to be such a mass of confusion intolwhich the prosecution hadgot which would occupy a considerable time, if they ever could unravel it, and to detain them in custody for so long a time would be a great injustice to them, and also that they were now far ther from the proof of the charge than at the beginning. He had abstained from doing so on former occasions, but hoped his application would now be acceded to as reasonable. Mr. Parry applied for bail for the prisoner Bates, on the ground that there was no evidence whatever to con nect him with the charge. Mr. Bodkin admitted it would be impossible to con vict the prisoners on the evidence already produced ; but he hoped to be able to procure other evidence of a more positive character in support of the charge, which compelled him to ask for a further remand. Admitting the prisoners to bail was a matter which rested with the discretion of the magistrate. Mr. Jardine said he did not consider, under the cir cumstances arising from an inaccuracy in Mr. Strahan's statement to Dr. Griffith, that any unreasonable length of time had been occupied in investigating this case. He thought, however, from that statement there was sufficient evidence to compel him to send the case for further investigation, as against Mr. Stralaan, and Sir J. D. Paul. There was also some evi dence against Mr. Bates, on which it would be for a jury to decide. For the present (whatever he might do hereafter) he should decline admitting the prisoners to bail. Mr. Cooper, messenger to the Bankruptcy Court, who was called on his subpoena, said he took possession of the prisoners' books, and afterwards handed them over to the Court of Bankruptcy. He believed they were i❑ the possession of Mr. Bell, the official assignee, or under his control. Mr. Bell was aware of his coming to the court, and told him to produce all the books ho could find bearing on the case. He had not brought any, not knowing what were wanted ; there were sufficient books to fill two or three waggons. Mr. Bodkin asked to have Mr. Bell called. Mr. Jardine—Has he been subpoenaed ? Mr. Cooper—Yes. Mr. Jardine—Then ho ought to attend. His absence very much prejudices the prisoners' case. If he does not attend when he is summoned I shall be obliged to deal harsEly with him, and bring him here in custody should the prosecutor ask for a warrant. Mr. Cooper said it was not out of any disrespect to the magistrate Mr. Bell had not attended. He believed Mr. Bell was acting under the advice of the solicitor to the fiat in bankruptcy against the prisoners. The prisoners were then remanded for a week, by which time Mr. Bodkin said it was not likely any mate- rial evidence could be produced against them, and that a further remand must then take place. HER HIGHNESS THE PRINCESS MARCRIALINE CZAR TORYSKA'S MATINEE MI7SICALE.—We are authorised to state that this matinee, in aid of the Benevolent Fund of the " Literary Association of the Friends of Poland," which was to take place at the house of the Marquis and Marchioness of Breadalbane, on the 13th inst., is post poned to Tuesday next, the 17th inst. Miss REYNOLDS.---That very charming actress, Miss Reynolds, takes her benefit at the Haymarket Theatre this evening, when, no doubt, her friends and the public, with whom she is a favourite, will give her more sub stantial proofs of their admiration than the customary applause, The pieces are, Sheridan Knowles's play of " Love," after which the Spanish dancers, who will ap pear in a new ballet, the popular farce of " As Like as Two Peas," and the whole will conclude with the amus. ing farce, entitled "Only a Halfpenny." ADELPHI THEATRE.—The capital extravaganza, writ ten by Mr. G. A'Beckett and Mr. Mark Lemon, on the subject of the " Forty Thieves," has been revived at this theatre with considerable effect. Mr. and Mrs. Keeley and Miss Woolgar resuming their original cha racters. The miss en scene has been liberally attended to, and the production is likely to be of service to the interests of the house, for there are few pieces of its class so thoroughly whimsical and amusing. The extravaganza has been edited anew by the authors, and certain shafts apropos to the recent disclosures relative to private banking tell with uncommon force. GRAND FIELD-DAY AT ALDERSHOTT.—Yesterday, he Majesty," his Royal Highness Prince Albert. the King of the Belgians, and the Royal children, left Buckingham Palace. The royal cortege, escorted by a party of the 7th Hussars, passed over Vauxhall-bridge, to her Ma jesty's private station in the Wandsworth-road, where a train was in readiness, and the royal party proceeded on to Farnham ; here the train stopped, and the Queen, Prince Albert, and the King of the Belgians visited the camp at Aldershott. There was a grand field day on the return of the Royal party. The train left Farnham for Portsmouth, where her Majesty, Prince Albert, the King of the Belgians, and the Royal children embarked on board the Victoria and Albert, and proceeded to Osborne, Isle of Wight.

IMPE tiIAL PARLIAME N7'. HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERD A.Y.) The Places of Religious Worship Registration Bill having been real a second time, and. several lathe.- mea sures advanced a state, The Marquia of CLANRICARDE moved for a return of all persons employed in her lelejesty's diplomatic ser vice, with the dates of their first appointment, and their subsequent promotion. The noble marquis said he did not object to administrative reform, on the contrary be had no doubt that in some departments there was great room for it from time to time; but on the whole he thought the diplomatic service of the country bad been. performed in an honourable and creditable manner. The Earl of CLARENDON quite concurred in the testimony which had been given by the noble marquis of the character and value of the services rendered to theby its dipl omat i c agents. It was impossible that, e numb er of persons like the diplomatic t,in countrya large body, there should not be some men who possessed greater diligence and talents than others, and who had shown themselves more fit for the posts they occupy ; but, generally speaking, the interests of Great Britain were represented abroad fully as well, if not better, by its agents than those of any other country ; and that its interests are promoted nut only with zeal and ability, but with that honourable and truthful purpose, which, he trusted, would always be the leading feature of Eng lish policy. Althou g h the noble mar qu i s h ad not men tioned the consul a r serv ic e , the noble ea r l sa i d he should not be doing j us ti ce to a valuable body of public servants if he did not bear his testimony to tho zeal, tact, and ability with which they discharged their extensive and arduous duties. The noble earl proceeded at some length to defend the diplomatic service against the charges which had been brought against it, and especially that of the higher ranks of it being engrossed by the aristocracy. He asserted that it had been, and always should be, his object to find the right man for the right place, independent of favour and private or Parliamentary influence. Earl GRANVILLE and the Earl of MALMESBURT alto spoke of the diplomatic service in similar terms. AUSTRALIAN POSTAGE. The Earl of HARDWICKE rose to put the following questions to the Government :—To inquire of the Post master-General whether he had not recently received through the medium of the Lieutenant-Governor of Vic toria a memorial from the Melbourne Chamber of Com merce urging on him the importance of immediately re establishing postal steam communication with Australia, and, referring to the large sums the Legislatures of:the colonies interested are willing to place at the disposal of the Imperial Government towards effecting the ob ject ; and to inquire whether he will have any objection to lay a copy of such memorial on the table of the house. Viscount CANNING said he concurred with the noble earl in deploring the inconvenience to which the Australian colonies had recently been exposed by the withdrawal of steam from the mail s ervice to that part of the world, and he acknowledged the obligation that lay upon the Government to supply the deficiency as soon as possible. The memorial referred to by the noble earl reached this country 4 or 5 days ago, but, owing to some mistake, it did not come into his hands until with 'in the last few hours. It was generally to the effect de. scribed by the noble earl, but it did not mention any specific sum as that which the colonies were prepared to contribute towards the re-establishment of postal steam communication, although it dealt with the question in a very large and liberal spirit, indicating that the colonies were willing to act generously in the matter. Of course, after what he had said as to the receipt of the me morial, he could not be expected to state what steps the Government might resolve to take. He had no doubt, however, that the proposition submitted by the colonies, coupled with the desire of the Government to re-establish steam communication as soon as possible, would speedily lead to a practical issue. The Government had already applied to the Oriental Com pany to ascertain at what cost they would undertake to re-establish steam communication with the Australian colonies, and the company had signified their inability to give any specific answer until they had received some information from Australia, and other parts, He need not say that the delay thus occasioned had been a source of much regret to the Government ; but he trusted that not much more time would be lost, and he could assure the noble earl that as soon as the Government received an answer, they would proceed at once to make an arrangement either with the Oriental Company or with some other parties. The noble viscount concluded by stating that he would lay the memorial on the table upon a future occasion. Their lordships then adjourned at ten minutes past eight o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS-(YESTERDAY.) CENSURE OF THE GOVERNMENT. Sir E. B. LYTTON gave notice that on Friday, on the house going into committee of supply, he should move that, in the opinion of. the-house, the conduct of the Government with reference to the recent Vienna negotiations had been such as.to shake the confidence of the country in the present Ministry. ARMY AND MEDICAL OFFICERS. Mr. STAFFORD inquired whether Dr. Andrew Smith had retired from the medical board, and whether Dr. Hall after the publication of the report of the Se bastopol Committee still continued Medical Inspector- General of the army in the East ? Mr. PEEL stated that Dr. Andrew Smith continued in office until his successor was appointed. Considering ' the great amount of current business performed in that department with which he was connected, it would be very inconvenient that there should be any break in the ' persons officiating as heads, and considerable time was necessary in order to find persons properly qualified to succeed Dr. Andrew Smith. With respect to Dr. Hall during the time that Lord Panmure had been at the head of the War Department no complaints had been made with respect to the mode in which he had dis charged his duty ; on the contrary, most satisfactory opinions had been expressed as to the mode in which Dr. Hall had performed his duties. He (Mr. Peel) was aware that the Sebastopol committee had stated that there was some difficulty in reconciling the letter of Dr. Hall as to the state of the hospitals with their actual con dition ; the latter was, however, written In October,. and there existed therefore no sufficient grounds for his removal by Lord Panmure. Captain STUART wished to know whether the Go. vernment was satisfied with the duties as discharged by Dr. Hall ? Mr. PEEL said that since Lord Panmure had been at the head of the War Department there was no reason to be dissatisfied with the performance of tin duties by Dr. Hall. Mr. ROEBUCK wished to know why the fact of the report having been made by Dr. Hall in October last constituted any ground for the non-removal of Dr. Hall! Mr. PEEL stated that the reason why Dr. Hall had not been relieved in office was because, since the appoint ment of Lord Panmure, no grounds of dissatisfaction had been shown with the conduct of that officer. With respect to the removal of Dr. Hall, the question had no doubt arisen from the circumstance of a letter having appeared in the Times a few days since, relative to the alleged inefficient supply of necessaries for the wounded soldiers after the late attack on the Russian works. Upon this subject he would, with the permission of the house, read a statement which he had received from the medical officers with the army, showing that such a state of things could not by possibility have existed, and that the statement that upon the 18th or 19th of July the wounded soldiers were left the whole day without any food, except some dry biscuit, was destitute of fcunda tion. Mr. STAFFORD rose to order. His question had no reference relative to the letter which had appeared in the Times. Mr. PEEL said that as the question of the hon. mem her was an exact repetition of a question put to him a few days since, which appeared to discredit the state ments of Dr. Hall, he thought it not unreasonable that the house should allow him to read the letter in vindica tion of the character of Dr. Hall. Mr. ROEBUCK rose to order. The hon. member for Northamptonshire (Mr. Stafford) had stated that his question was not founded upon any letter such as had been referred to, and the house had a right to put faith in the statements of that hon. member. The SPEAKER intimated that as objection was taken to reading the letter, it was not competent for the hon. member to do so. Mr. PEEL would not persist in reading the letter ; ho would simply state that, as the writer of the letter in the Times to which he had referred had stated that his name would be at the service of any authority applying for it, a letter had been sent from the War Department on the following day, addressed to the editor of the Times, and requesting, in order that the inquiry about to be made might be conducted in a satisfactory mann er, that th e name of the writer should be furnished. The editor o f the Times had, however, begged to be excused from gi v . ins up to the department the name of the writer. i n quired . whether the Attorney. a r T d il vihen , receive instructions to file an DEAN AND CHAPTER OF WINDSOR. knights .; and in what state the - Gen i e r r . a M l did not, information against the Dean and Chapter of Windsor, for an account of the disbursement of the revenues belong. given instructions on the subject ; pro such instructions were e i l bn i u t a ut r pla y da ed r The A.TTORN . EY-GENERAL at present ? i c u e g ed t i o n stated that he had that an information had been filed,and . not rec g e t'h iv et t a e r d nk , defendants to by the .. plead, He also stated that hon. members desiring information on the . subject of charity suits i n stituted by hi m might be obtained at the office of his solicitor at the corner of Great George-street, Westminster, where e very suit. a record was kept of the stage of MILITIA ARTILLERY. Capt. ESAIONDE inquired whether it was the inten tion of her Majesty's Government to send militia regi ments of artillery to any of the encampments at Alder. shott, the Curragh, or elewhere ? Mr. PEEL stated that the militia artillery was in tended only for garrison duty, and that therefore the field exercise to be learned at the camps was not suitable to that branch of the service. THE NEW TURKISH LOAN. Er. RICARDO wished to know whether her Majesty's Government was about to guarantee a loan to his Ma jesty the Sultan, and if so, when and in what form the noble lord would bring that question before the house ? Lord PALMERSTON stated that a treaty had beia signed between France and England on the one hand, and the Sultan upon the other, by the terms of which the Governments of France and England made certain engagements with respect to a loan of 5,000,000/. which th e Sultan w as to raise. The engagement on the part of this country was that her Majesty would recommend to the House of Commons to guarantee one-half of that I loan, the otheF h alf bang guarAuteed by krance.
