PUBLIC OFFICES EXTENSION BILL. Earl GRANVILLE moved the second reading of this bill. Lord REDESDALE regretted that the Government had not secured the ground in the neighbourhood of the site for the new Government offices, now occupied by a lot of buildings of the poorest description, by giving the usual notices. He felt confident that at some future time the ground would be required, and he there fore trusted the Government would think it de sirable to secure the ground before it greatly increased in value, as it would when the new offices were erected. The noble lord then drew their lordships' attention to an offer that had been made some time ado to erect the public offices. The offer he referred to was that the parties should take the ground, clear it, and erect the offices, and that they should receive a yearly sum to be agreed upon by Parliament. Ho thought the' subject not undeserving the attention of her Majesty's Government. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said the house greatly indebted to the noble lord for the trouble he had taken on this subject. He hoped the members of the House of Commons would, during the recess, take into their consideration the effects of an ili-judged expenditure. - - - After a few words from Earl GRAZTVILLE and the Earl of HARDWICKE, The bill was read a second time.

On the order of the day for the house going into com mittee of supply, Major REED gave notice that he should bring for ward the motion which stood in his name, relative to calling Parliament together previous to ratifying any terms of peace, at the evening sitting. THE WOUNDED IN THE CRIMEA. Mr. STAFFORD called attention to a letter which bad appeared. in the Times newspaper denying the state ments wade by him as to the wretched condition of the wounded after the affair of the 18th of June before Se bastopol. Ho did not ask for any answer on the part of the Government, hut lie trusted their attention would be bestowed on the subject of the sufferings of our wounded, which he described as very painful. GOOD SERVICE PENSION TO LORD GEORGE PAGET. Mr. DILLVVYIST called attention to a report that Lord George Paget has received a good service pension of 1001. a year, with the view of inquiring into the truth of such report, and of ascertaining, if true, what the special services have been for which such pension has been awarded. (Hear, bear.) He did not doubt the gallantry and merit of Lord George Paget, but he believed he had not seen much active service. It was true he was engaged in the brilliant affai r of Balaklava, and no doubt had well and gallantly discharged his diit.r there ; but he (Mr. Dillwyn) believed be bad not seen active service since ; that he spent last winter in this country, and was now, as be understood, at Con stantinople. He knew nothing personal of Lord George Paget, and therefore wished to say nothing of him, but he thought it was due to the house and to the army, that the should know that pensions of this de scription were not awarded on account of birth or t p i a o t n. ronage, but really on account of good service in ac- Mr. PEEL said it was quite correct that Lord Geo. Paget had been made the recipient of a good service 'fiension by Lord Hardinge, who was alone responsible for such pensions. He was a good deal surprised at the animadversions which this pension had given rise to, for the hon. gentleman ought to be aware the house could not properly distinguish the merits of individual officers. The reason why Lord George Paget got this pension was, that at the battle of Balaklava, where there wer e ten cavalry regiments engaged, Lord George Paget was the senior regimental colonel present, and led his regireent and rallied them with the utmost gallantry and therefore he was judged a fit and proper recipient for a good service pc Colonel LINDSAY said no man could deny that those gallant officers who bad done their duty in the Crimea deserved every reward that a grateful country could bestow. At the same time, he thought the coun try had not been sufficiently grateful in rewarding the distinguished services of those officers who bad served in the Peninsular war, and he hoped the attention of the military authorities would be directed to the subject. After a few words from Sir W. GALWAY, Lord PALMERSTON put it to the house whether this was a time to discuss such a question as this. These rewards were intrusted to the discretion of the Commander-in-Chi e f by virtue of his office ; and he asked was it possible that the members of this house could determine whether any particular officer was or was not deserving of those rewards, and ha believed such discussions would have a most prejudicial effect on the p iblic service. (Hear, hear.) Captain SCOBELL said ;le this matter had been alluded to and commented on in the public papers, it was better that the explanation now given should have been given in this house. Major REED believed the hon. gentleman the Under Secretary at War (Mr. Peel) was incorrect in saying that The subject then dropped, and the house resolved itself into a committee of SUPPLY. On the question that a sum cf 3,7111. should be granted for the Statute Law Commission, some short discusgion took place, and the vote was ultimately agreed to. ; THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENIN69 AUGUST 2, 18551 observations, thanking the commissioners for the manner in which they had conducted the inquiry. Mr. Mitchell then replied, in the course of which he cont,n4,!ed Lit?tin: - A act= of viok , n..oo on the part of the popula::e to cause a ri: - )t, , viii , :h not the tale t'nl; c.: , ;i!sion, He a1 ,, 0 thanked the C , sinners for the kind and courte , a74 atttntion to hi a iself and clients in the conducting of the inquiry. Mr. Chief Commissioner Wortley said that, having heard the whole of the evidence adduced, and the re marks of the gentlemen who had been engaged in the inquiry, they were all deeply indebted to them for what they had done. All who had entrusted their complaints to Mr. Mitchell had had no cause to complain, and Mr. Ellice had conducted the case of the police with great forbearance and ability. In consequence of the volume of evidence, and the duties he and his colleagues bad to discharge, he was afraid some time must elapse before they could make a report. Whilst be fully admitted the right of the people to meet and discuss their grievances, they must do it in a peaceable manner and unarmed. Al though the Parks were public property, they were so for the purpose only of recreation for the people, and under certain regulations. The people had no right to hold meetings there, and act contrary to the regula tions referred to. The inquiry then terminated. SPARE (THIS RAIL . , ZAILWAYN.

Mr. WILLIAMS protested against the doctrine laid down by the noble lord at the head of the Government, that the House of Commons had no right to canvass those questions. (Hear, hear.) Lord PALMERSTON said he had not stated that— he had only said it was not a fit question for discussion. Mr. A. PELLATT thought the present was a case of great hardship, and if it was consistent with the rules of the house he would move an address to her Majesty, that men who bad so much right to receive a reward from their country had been overlooked, and entreating her Majesty to take their case into her serious consi deration. He thought that the course pursued by the Government in the present instance was without a pa rallel. Colonel DUNNE thought that the present system of promotion in the army was very defective, and ought to be amended. As it at present existed men that were made corporals would receive less than the common soldier. _ THE WAR. On the vote of 3,000,0001. for the additional expense of the war with Russia being put, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that this sum had been allowed for in the additional estimates that had been brought forward, and it only required that the sanction of the house should be given in order to enable the Treasury to meet the demands that might be made upon it. It did not follow, in granting the vote, that the amount would be required. After some short discussion, The vote was agreed to. • Mr. PEEL then rose, pursuant to notice, to move a supplementary commissariat estimate for the service in the Crimea. The house had already granted to the Government for this aepartment a sum of 1,440,0001., and a further sum of 2,260,0001. was required to carry it out effectually. The right hon. gentle man at some length entered into the details of the course that had been adopted by the Government in buying cattle and providing for the provisioning of the army, in the course of which he stated that large depots had been formed in the Crimea, by which the greatest comforts had been afforded to our army there, and by which they were insured for four days a week fresh meat. Equal attention hal been paid to the horses, ' and a full amount of food had been secured to them. The right hon. gentleman, after paying an eulogium upon M. Soyer, for the effective service he had rendered in schooling the troops in the art of cooking in the camp, concluded by moving the vote. Mr. HENLEY deprecated the course that had been punned by the Government, and expressed his surprie that at the last moment the Government should come down and talk about depots being made that ought to have been erected months ago. He thought the greatest neglect had taken place on the part of the Government, r both with respect to the provisioning of the army and its cattle, and he could not but raise his voice as an English man against the course that had been adopted. All that he had seen only convinced him of the unfortunate man ner in which the Government had proceeded in the war, and he felt bound to confess that it gave little credit to jtheir foresight. (Hear.) He could not see why the estimate should not have been brought forward in Fe bruary, and he blamed the Government for not adopt ing that course. Mr. W. WILLIAMS was anxious to provide for the comfort of the army, but he was afraid that the adoption of this vote would not carry so laudable an object into effect. He thought that some explanation ought to be , given of the fact that the pay of the soldier had been raised 50 per cent. After some observations from Sir F. BARING and Col, NORTH, Mr. F. PEEL affirmed that no green coffee was now r issued to the troops. Mr. WILSON said that whilst the destination of the army was unknown the coffee was sent out in a green / state, but immediately it was understood its destination was the Crimea, it was exported in a roasted state. Colonel DUNNE said that the house ought to be assured that the army was in an efficient condition to endure another winter campaign. He thought the land 1 transport corps was not adequate to the wants of such a number of troops. As to the provisioning of the army it had been remarked that this was rather a late period of the year to form depots for provisions. He contended that such was not the case. He also observed that the Government were making the Turkish Contingent and the Foreign Legions as perfect as was possible ; al though, at the same time, they overlooked the defects which existed in connection with the cavalry and other regiments of the line. He wished to know whether the injuries occasioned by the recent flood in the Crimea to the Balaklava Railway had been repaired or not ? After some further conversation, Mr. STAFFORD said there were many questions in con,-section with the commissariat department of which the house ought to have some explanation, not the least of whio: l was the question as to who was the real head of that d o ,nartment. He would not, however, detain the committee a‘ t that late period of the day. The vote wa.g then agreed to, and, it being 10 minutes to four o'clock, the committee was adjourned. MILITIA BALLOTS SUSPENSION BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. SALE Oh' BEER BILL. This bill was also read a third time, and, after a pro test from Mr. Hadfield, t 3 the effect that the evidence taken before the committee was ex parte, was passed. The house then adjourned until six o'clock. The house resumed at s:x o'clock. ADULTERATION OF FOOD. Mr. PELLATT asked the member for Birmingham whether an opportunity would be given before the pro ragation of Parliament for scientific witnesses to be heard by the Adulteration of Food, &e. Committee, so that both sides of the question might be before the public prior to the close of the session. Mr. SCHOLEFIELD said that if the committee was appointed next session, and he was at the head of it, every opportunity would be given to elicit the truth, as had been given by the present commitee. [LEFT SITTING.] THE LATB DISTURBANCES IVY HYDE- PARK. CONCLUSION OF THE INQUIRY INTO THE CONDUCT OF THE FOLICE.-(THIS DAY.) The Commissioners took their seats for the last time this morning shortly after 11 o'clock. Mr. Mitchell, in addressing the commissioners, said he had to thank Mr. Duncombe, on the part of his client, for calling the attention of the House of Commons to the circumstances complained of, and getting this inquiry appointed, and farhimself he thanked the commissioners for the courtesy they had shown him in conducting the case. He was not there covertly to support any particular views with reference to the Sunday Trading Bill or the Boer Bill ; and, in reference to the better observance of the Sabbath, remarked, he thought an improvement in that respect might be obtained by employers paying their servants on Fridays instead of Saturdays. He, however, looked upon Lord R. Grosvenor's Bill as an attempt to revive an almost obsolete statute of Charles 11., which oppressed the 'poor to make amends for the profligacy of the rich. He was there to complain on the part of his clients against a gross outrage committed by the police, and which they would never cease to complain of by all lawful means until they obtain re dress, and the persons so complained against punished. Mr. Mitchell next adverted to the number of persons who had voluntarily come forward to speak to these out rages —men knocked down by the policemen's bludgeons, being in everywomen whipped, and o th er ac t s o f violence, the people way insulted and ill-used, locked up in cells, at which the Commissioners bad expressed dis app r o wholenbi t h i t o , n , bailan d in iv h there er they i n were n o g o n l n e e g d a y a refused them. Many of these persons, it would be remembered, were confined all night, and not brought before a magistrate till 5 o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, and then they were discharged —some with out charges being made against them, whilst others were not liberated until Tuesday. Some of these were work ing men, who sustained great injury by loss of time, and their characters much injured in the estimation of their employers. The police acted outrageously, and were led on by one man against whom half his witnesses spoke. Of the 86 witnesses he had called, 20 spoke to specific acts of violence on his part, whilst others described him as bein g "mad " "raving ma d," "a lunatic," mad. o man," "striking with his whip," swearing, "riding cloy© upon the people," striking res p ectabl y -dressed ladies," itc. Of the persons making complaints one w . as a colonel, a member of the aristocracy, and a relative of Lord Harcourt ; five were gentlemen of independent means, four barristers, six professional men, forty trades men, some carrying on extensive business, and thirty working men. All of them were men of such character and standing that not a word had been advanced against their character by Mr. Ellice in the course of his cross examination. If the charges he had brought against the police were true, they required serious consi deration. But how had they been met by the solicitor for the police ? Why, by calling the men whose num• hers had been taken, all of whom denied the charges, which he (Mr. Mitchell) expected, because by the 2 and 3 Vic., chap. 47, sec. 14 (the Metropolitan Police Act), it was enacted that every constable who be guilty of neglect or violation of duty in his office of constable, shall be liable to a penalty of 101., to be deducted from his salary, or, in the discretion of the magistrate, im prisoned, with or without hard labour, for a period not longer than one calendar month. He proceeded to ad vert on the evidence of the policemen, which, he said, was not to be credited, or, at all events, to be looked upon with extreme suspicion. He did not at tempt to deny that some carriages w at, and stones thrown, but ail that took p'ace in the Park on the 1t of July - INas (wised by the riotous conduct of the police. They rushed hi pell-mell in all directions amongst the people, striking in all directions, using not the slightest discre tion. He next read extracts of the evidence given by the complainants with reference to the character and con duct of the people and the outrage committed by them, which he contrasted with that of the police. The commencement of all the ill-feeling against the police was their ostentatiously taking away the dead eel. He thought the people might have been allowed to amuse themselves with it without the interference of the police. It would have been time enough for them to have interfered when a breach of the peace was evident. It was not only his opinion, but that of his clients, and a number of persons who sympa thised with them, that the disturbances were mainly caused by Sir Richard Mayne. His evidence showed he anticipated a meeting of a tumultuous character, and probably a riot ; and, consequently, he should have been on the ground, and given directions, instead of remaining at his office, which showed great care lessness and want of foresight. As riots did not occur every day, had Sir Richard been on the ground he pro bably could have prevented so serious a disturbance oc curring. It was a gross breach of duty on the part of Sir Richard Mayne, if the clearing the railings was so neces sary, a sufficient number of police were not on the ground to keep the line when the people were sent back. After adverting to Sir Richard's absurd description of the rushing of the police, and the notices read by Sir Richard Mayne, as well as his own, which requested all " well disposed persons " to keep away, thereby inviting the disorderly io attend ; and although so many persons were apprehended, and the character of the crowd so riotous, it was extraordinary that but four of the police were reported as injured, and that but slightly. Mr. Mitchell next alluded to what he called a serious derilection of duty on the part of Sir Richard Mayne, in not attending that evening at the Vine-street station to admit the prisoners to bail, he being, in addition to his chief commissionership, a justice of the peace for the purposes of the Metropolitan Police Act. Although he did not act as such, a routine so mischievous in its results might have been departed from, and Sir Richard have gone to the station, having, if he were in doubt, first consulted one of the law ad visers of the Government. It was only from the expres sion of public indignation through the press such a change was made in the nature of the chages but at the time he took no trouble to ascertain what the charges really were. Aceording to " Burn's Justice" persons meeting together for a public purpose and broke the peace was not a riot but treason. It was the privilege and right of Eng- lishmen to attend meetings and express their opinion in a quiet and orderly manner, which was not to be set aside merely because a few idle boys and thieves of Lon don mixed amongst them and got up a row, and it was not the duty of a Chief Commissioner of Police, in consequence, to strait the law and charge forty thousand or fifty thousand people with being a riotous assemblage. The learned gentleman called attention to Superintendent Hughes's conduct, spoken to by so many witnesses, and to that of Inspector O'Brien, whose men mistook his orders, which he (Mr. Mitchell) thought showed the men pretty well understood what they were to do. He complained of Sir Richard Mayne's statement, that no complaint had been made against the police under the 2d and 3d of Vict., whereas Mr. Mair made a complaint, but with drew it in consequence of the issuing of this commission. Reverting to Mr. Mair's case, Mr. Mitchell said be charged the policeman in that case with having com mitted deliberate perjury. The statement of 147 A (Leech), relative to the sticks, required careful ex amination. He was charged with striking a boy named King four times, and a woman once. After entering into the details of the charges made against individual policemen, contrasting their state ments with those of the complainants, and pointing out the discrepancies in the evidence of several of the police, he proceeded to observe that the manner in which the persons were apprehended and taken to the station was the most brutal and violent imaginable. If the Commis sioners thought any particular persons were in fault he hoped they would not fail to name them, so that the Government and the people at large might know who were the real offenders in this transaction. He hoped the result would be to teach the police, as Carlyle ob served, "that though the people of England have an in born reverence for the constable's staff, and will always submit to such an amount of restriction of their natural liberties as is necessary for good government, they looked with a jealous eye upon the least attempt by the Govern ment or by the police in any way to limit their liberties, and that they view with abhorrence any unnecessary appeal to physical force." (The concluding sentence was received with applause.) Mr. Ellice then rose and addressed the Commissioners on the part of the police. He said the corn- plainants had no reason to be dissatisfied with Mr. Mit chell, who has conducted their cases .with ability, and participated most fully in their feeling. The question before the commissioners resolved into one of no great difficulty or extent. The first question for the conside ration of the commissioners was whether the meeting was of a riotous nature, or an unlawful assemblage, and if so, it was undoubtedly the duty of those charged with the preservation of the peace to disperse or suppress it ; and then, if so, was the means taken on this occasion to do so pr,per ? And as to the orders given, that must be considered a matter of prudence or discretion by them. And the question then was, had a few of the constables out of about 300, who were brought into collision with 50,000 persons in the execution of their arduous duty, exceeded the limits the law would assign for it ? He next referred to the nature of the inquiry, and the number of witnesses called in • support of the charges against the police, so that of the latter he must make some deductions from them, and the disadvantage he laboured under in having to answer charges the nature of which was unknown to him until he heard them in that court. He offered to give evi dence that might have shown that the wounds inflicted on the Ist July were not done by the police, but he was stopped, and probably rightly, which gave a slight ad vantage to the complainants. A large number of the witnesses had spoken to an indiscriminate striking by the police of men, women, and children, yet none of them, in their cross-examination by the Commissioners, could say they distinctly saw a woman or child struck. He considered these witnesses had given their evidence so loosely as not to be entitled to great consideration by the Commissioners. He would not charge them with perjury, but they spoke to impressions of things done which they had not seen. Severed of the witnesses had spoken to the difficulty of taking a policeman's number, and others to numbers, some of whom identified the men, but others could not do en, whilst some of the men so spoken to were not in the Park. It was quite possible there was difficulty in taking a policeman's number, and if that were so there should have been some caution used by the witnesses Wore swearing to the police. With regard to Superintendent Hughes whip ping women, he thought he might venture to deduct them from the evidence and infer no such thing occurred. What struck him as remarkable in the evidence given by the complainants was the frequent use of the word "indiscriminate" attack, which, to say the least of it, was suspicious. Mr. Ellice then referred to the nature of the gathering, quoting Lord Chief Justice Tindall, on what constituted a riot, or riotous assembly, and said it could not be doubted but that the meeting had for its object to protest against Lord R. Grosvenor's Sunday Trading Bill, and alluded to the notices issued previ ously, one of which was headed a " Monster Concert," and another an invitation to come to the Park and take tea—Lord Robert Grosvenor providing hot water. There could be no doubt this was a monster concert with a drum accompaniment, if they believed the witnesses that persons drummed on their hats with sticks, and a chorus of 50,000 people, the effect of which was to alarm persons and endanger their lives. As to the invitation to tea and hot water, he thought evidently showed there was to be a row. Num bers of the witnesses admitted they went to the psrk to make a demonstration which might be legal or illegal, but the witnesses did not state the whole of the truth, that they went there to make an alarming demonstra tion. That being the case, it was the duty of the police to suppress or disperse it. As to the means taken for that purpose they were fully before the commission, and as to the notice issued by Sir Richard Mayne, had he not done so he would have been blamed and very justly. Orders were given to the officers which warranted what they had done under them, and he thought Super intendent Hughes had given his account of the trans action in a firm and frank manner. He thought there might have been cases of violence inflicted in the Park other than by the policemen, from the fact of pieces of hurdles, stones, and sticks being used by the public, as deposed to by the policemen, who, he believed, were entitled is be credited. The charge that Superintendent Hughes struck a woman would, it true, be a disgraceful thing ; but he was happy to say no much charge could be proved against him or any of the police. Surely, if females ha nw d mciet b h,r e .c e ti n hnie s itmi t ec r ne, uck they would have come forward, or their fathers, mothers, brothers, or lovers, who possi ljethviYiedsveevneicrdeee. dt w ihn o eg u o l;tdha there r a se v o ewmcaeovmle length, gf nothingofhr forward r te d oo a t n d gi throughve inculpaten the police, and defended the conduct of Sir R.

He next referred to the cells, and remarked the authorities did all they could under the circumstances. Mr. Chief Commissioner Wortley said no doubt the suffering must have been great that night from so many persons being confined there. He should not consider the long cell a safe place for the confinement of prisoners in the winter. Me, Commissioner Armstrong said he should have thought so large a number of persons could not have been confined in the long cell for a night without endan gering life.

Lord Panmure has this day received a Despatch and its Enclosures, of which the following are copies, ad dressed to his Lordship by Lieutenant-General Simpson, Commanding her Majesty's Forces in the East. Before Sebastopol, July 21, 1855. My Lord,—l have great pleasure to inform your Lord ship that the health of the Army has greatly improved ; cholera has nearly disappeared, and although more sick ness has appeared amongst the officers, it is not of that character to cause uneasiness. With reference to the exterior army, the Russians hold their strong position on the Mackenzie Heights, extending by Aitodor to Albat, with advanced posts by Chouli, Ogenbash, and the strong range of heights over hanging Urkusta and the valley of Baidar. It is re ported they have also a force of artillery and infantry at Alupka. The French have pushed forward the whole of their ,:avalry into the Valley of Paidar, resting upon the Sardinians, upon the left bank of the Souhai ricer, and communicating with the French upon the Tchernaya, whilst the high ridge protecting Balaklava is guarded by the Turkish army. I purpose sending four squadrons of light cavalry into the Valley of Baidar to-moirow, to protect and aff ,rd convoys to the commissariat for the purpose of bringing in forage and supplies for the use of the army. Major-General Markham arrived on the 19th instant, and, agreeable to the instructions conveyed in your lord ship's telegraphic message, I have appointed him to the command of the 2d Division. Sir Stephen Lushington, K.C.8., having been pro moted to the rank of Admiral, has been relieved in the command of the Naval Brigade, by Captain Hon. Henry Keppel. I take this opportunity of recording my sense of the ability and zeal with which he has throughout conducted his arduous and responsible situation of com manding the Naval Bri , ade, which has rendered such excellent service in our batteries. I beg also to report to your lordship that Mr. Corn &ssary-General Fader has been obliged to relinquish the command of his important department, and will have to return to England upon the recommendation of a Medical Board. I inclose the list of casualties to the 18th inst. I have &c., JAMES SIMPSON, Lieutenant-General Commanding. The Lord Panmure, EXTRAORDINAItY CASE OF SELF-MUTILATION.--A soldier of the nth Regiment, in the Cork garrison, some time ago deserted, and was by a court-martial sentenced to 8d days' imprisonment, and to be brandej_pith the lett-r D. Tile D was made on his breast. But while undergoing his term of imprisonment he became ill, and his removal to hospital necessary. He was accordingly removed, and after a short time, being found to be pro gressing favourably, he was placed in the convalescent ward. Here he took advantage of the comparative liberty of the hospital, and one day got up, took the razor with which he was in the habit of shaving himself, and cut out a piece of flesh on which the ignominious brand had been placed. He then rushed out of the hos pital, made his escape from the barracks. and has never since been beard of. The piece of flesh was found on the floor, and has, we believe, been preserved. CRYSTAL PALACE.—WEDNESDAY, SHILLING DAY.— Admissions on payment, 10,930 ; by season tickets, 836. Total, 11,766. STEAM TO THE UNITED STATES. SOUTHA3IPTON, July 30.—Commodore Vanderbilt, the well-known steam-ship owner, of New York, has made an arrange ment with Messrs. Croskey and Co., for establishing a line of first-class paddle-wheel steamships between New York and Southampton. At the Nenagh (Tipperary) assizes on Monday, Michael Ryan and John Gleeson were tried for the mur der of Dennis Mullowney. The jury returned a verdict of guilty against Ryan, and acquitted Gleeson. THE GIRHONY MURDER.—At Brecon Assizes, on Tuesday, Joseph Richards, aged 60, was charged with the wilful murder of John Davies, at the parish of Llan gynicier, in the county of Brecon. The jury returned a verdict of " guilty of wilful murder." The Lord Chief Justice said he concurred in the verdict, passed sentence of death on the prisoner, and held out no hope of mercy. A jeweller and silversmith, carrying on business at 17, Lisson-grove North, and at 62, Crawford-street, Bryan ston-square, was placed at the bar, yesterday, before Mr. Broughton, at the Marylebone police-court, on the serious charge of having in his possession gold watches and other property to the amount of at least 1001., all of which articles had shortly bef. , re the discovery of them by the police been stolen. The prisoner was remanded. SERJEANT BRODIE OF THE IST ROYALS. —Another attempt has been made to punish this non-commissioned officer, for conduct which the Commander-in-Chief pro nounced to he " praiseworthy," but it has signally failed. On Wednesday morning an order was received by the garrison surgeon to examine Serjeant Brodie, with the view of ascertaining his fitness or otherwise for foreign duty. Accordingly, the serjeant was subjected to the usual medical examination ; but, at its conclusion, the surgeon certified that he was suffering from chronic) rheu matism, and therefore unfit for foreign service.—South, Eastern Gazette. THE FIRST JEW LORD MAYOR OF LONDON.—At the approaching civic elections David Salomons, Esq., alder man of the ward of cord wainers, being the senior alder ma❑ below the chair, will, according to the practice of the Court of Aldermen, be called to fill the office of chief magistrate for the year commencing the 9th of Novem ber. David Salomon , , Esa.; is of the Hebrew persua sion, and will be the first Jew Lord Mayor of London. No opposition is anticipated. The rate of exchange at Paris exhibits firmness, and on the return of the surplus loan deposits to this country a further riso may be expected, which will remove the, probability of any continued demand for specie remit tances. 3 2 d 14 - 15 11/1 - 11 .
