The debate has been resumed and adjourned. The amendment of Sir F. BAILING was that nomi nally before the House, but really the subject was discussed in all its varied aspects. All parties were represented, and we rejoice to say, that, with few and rare exceptions, the spirit of the obser vations submitted to Parliament was far more in accordance with the true state of public opinion than that perceptible at any former period since the accession to office of the Joint-Stock Admi nistration. As Sir MILNER LYTTON justly re marked, the motion of Mr. DISRAELI had pro duced an important effect. "If it had not succeeded in changing the Government, it had, at least, changed their tone. It had compelled them to avow a more decided and honourable policy than they had previously professed. It had galvanised them into vigour." To this motion we are probably indebted for the closing of the Conferences, the cessation of the solemn humbug that so long acted as an in superable,obstacle to the energetic conduct of the War. To that we are indebted for the standing forth of the clear light in which the ABERDEEN or Peelite policy has been placed, the damaging con fessions of Mr. GLADSTONE, and the secession of a promising young nobleman, Lord ELCHO, from the clique. We have learned that the "Dukery," untaught by experience, still sympathise with Russia, while the people, faithfully represented by honest JOHN MACGREGOR, are prepared to sub mit to any privations in order to bring the War to that which can alone prove a satisfactory termination, with ample guarantees against its resumption under perilous circumstances. The magician's wand, skilfully manipulated, has revealed the secret working of the political machine, and brought to light many of the wires by which the puppets are moved. And prejudicial to the national interests as must be avowals such as those made by Mr. GLADSTONE, Mr. MILNER GIBSON, and Lord CLAUDE HAMILTON, it will still be useful to show how insignificant will be the minority by which these views are supported, and how generally they are condemned by all classes of the people. The speech of the Right Hon. Gentleman the member for Manchester was exactly what might have been anticipated from the terms of the notice of motion, which was so ingeniously postponed at the instance of his now avowed allies, the Peel ites, his antecedents as a leading member of the Peace Society, and his selection as the mouth-piece of that extraordinary association. It was thoroughly and completely Russian in every sentiment, and even expression, and might have been delivered by GORTSCHAROFF or TITOFF as a vindication of the policy of their master. It certainly was better suited to the meridian of St. Petersburg, or Ber lin, or Vienna, than of London. It is but justice to the Right Honourable Gentleman that he has been consistent in what, regarding him as an Englishman, we must term his inconsistency. We hope and believe, however, that many of those who formerly acted with him will refuse to do a° any longer, and that a large proportion of the Manchester school will show that they are act uated by thoroughly English feeling on all matters relating to th e W ar. Th e speech of Sir W. MOLESWORTH was a manly and straightforward exposition of the feeling b y which the Government ought to he imbued. We can only wonder that he could have acquiesced in the terms tendered for Russia's acceptance, but thetruecha racter via but truckle to the powerful—that she would resort to any artifice or treachery to carry out her nefa rious designs. " What," he asked, "has induced Russia to yield as much as my right hon. friend Says she has yielded ? Was it repentance ? She is incapable of such a feeling ! Was it shame ? She kn°3r3 net the meaning of the word ! Was it the pub l ic opinion of Europe ? That was ex pressed against her l ong ago, and she rema i ne d unmoved, insolent, and defying. What was it then ? Fear, nothing but fear. Fear based on Alma and Inkerman ! Fear, founded upon the consciousness that her resources are rapidly diminishing fear, produced by the knowledge that her armies are perishing—fear, arising from the belief that the strength of the Allies is steadily increasing-- fear, emanating from the conviction that if we persevere, we must be victorious ! Therefore, she has recourse to diplomatic wiles and State in trigues !" This is so true a picture of the motives and feelings of Russia that we can only feel sur prised that the Right Honourable Baronet should have assented to such truckling to Germanism, such obsequiousness to Russia as we have all along exhibited. He has shown himself perfectly alive to the consequences of such proceed ings, and yet he has been ab initio a member of the Cabinet, by which they have been not merely sanctioned, but con ducted. He truly declares that " a recreant peace would be especially dangerous to this country ;" that "a dishonourable peace would make every man of English descent, every colonist of Great Britain, ashamed of the humiliation and pusillanimity of the mother country, and would tend to convert the feelings of affection so strongly expressed towards us by our colonists at the beginning of the War into sentiments of contempt dangerous to our Colonial dominion." why, then, should he have assented to propositions that showed Russia she had nothing to fear ? that required no real guarantees for the future, and would naturally inspire that dangerous sen timent in the hearts of our colonial brethren. We shall, however, be quite willing to forget the past if he act for the future in accordance with the opinions thus clearly and unequivocally expressed. The Hon. Member for Glasgow struck the right chord when he declared that the only terms which ought to be accepted would be the destruction of Sebastopol, and a full indemnification for the ex penses of the War! This is the only safe, the only honourable solution of the difficulty. We may find it indispensable to insist on more--we cannot be contented with less. The speeches of Lord ELCHO and Sir E. B. LYTTON were deserv ing of the highest praise ; while that of Lord CLAUDE HAMILTON, the step-son of Lord ABERDEEN, casts additional light on the causes by which we were suffered to " drift into war." As yet the dis cussion has been eminently satisfactory, and we only hope that the conclusion, both as to the sentiments expressed and the numbers recorded in the division lists, if one should take place, may be equally so. We shall look for ward to the result with hope and confidence, as one worthy of Great Britain, and showing that the opinions of the people are properly represented in Parliament, and that they will be fully• and completely car ried out in any arrangements that may be en tered into. LA.UIVCE OF THE BRUNSWICK AT PEMBROKE. On Saturday a fine addition was made to our envy by thn launch of the Brunswick, SO-gun ship. .The Bruns wicA: was originally constructed as a sailing vessel, the steam auxiliary screw not having then been introduced into the navy, but by slightly altering a part of her after-body, it has been effectively applied, and she is now a most efficient war steamer. The weather being fine, a great concourse of people was present. The vessel was named by the wife of Captain Smart, super intendent, and glided beautifully into the water. Her dimensions are : Ft. In. Length between perpendiculars l9O 0 Ditto keel and tonnage 154 44 Extreme breadth. Breadth for tonnage 55 0 Breadth moulded 54 3 Depth in hold 23 3 Tonnage, old measurement 2,484 Ditto, new A report which has appeared in the public papers that her Royal Highness the Princess Alice had suffered from an attack of scarlatina is without any foanchtion. All the Royal children are in perfect health. It is reported upon good authority that the Empress EugSnie is enceinte. The legislative session of the Belgian Chambers was closed on Saturday. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa states that the King of Portugal is shortly expected at Turin from Paris. PIEDMONT.—The Convents Bill has received the Royal assent, and has thus become the law of the land. The provisions of the act will be immediately put in force to a number of convents. TUNIS.—A telegraphic despatch from Cagliari an nounces the death of the Bey of Tunis, on the night of the Ist of June. His successor and cousin, Sidi Mo hamed Bey, ascended the throne without obstacle. The Ticinese Gazette states that in its last sitting, the Federal Council of Switzerland rejected a motion made by the department of the Interior, for the establishment of an emigration society at Bale. A letter from Rome, in the Venice Gazette, announces that Cardinal Antonelli has addressed a new note to the Piedmontese Government on the new law for the sup pression of monastic institutions. The Marshal in command of the army of the East of France has appointed General Hugues, now in command of a brigade of the said army, to be president of the council of revision of the Ist military division, in place of Brigade-General Ripert, promoted to the rank of general of division. - The Opinione, of Turin, states that the 34 monastic orders which are to be suppressed in Piedmont in conse quence of the new law, possessed 331 houses, inhabited by 4,543 persons. The number of religious houses which will remain for a time is 274, comprising 4,057 inmates of either sex. Letters from the Caucasus complain of the high prices of articles of consumption, which have risen enormously since the conveyance of them by sea has been terminated. A small wheaten loaf that used to cost no more than 3 copecks, cannot be had under 10 copecks. _ _ _ Letters fur the Cape of Good Hope (by the Fiery Cross, steamer), will be in time if posted in London on the evening of the 6th inst. In the general business of the port of London there is still considerable activity, although the arrivals during the past week were not so n•imerous as in the previous one. The total of ships reported inward was 259, being a decrease of 134. The number of ships cleared out ward was 160, showing an increase of 25. The arrivals of gold yesterday amounted to 246,0001., and have comprised 197,0001. from New York, 9,0001. from the Peninsula, and 40,0001. by the John Bell from Port Philip. The reports by the Asia from America confirm the accounts brought by the previous steamer of the satis factory prospects of the grain crops throughout the western States. Zephaniah Williams, the Newport Chartist, who was transported with Frost and Jones to Australia, has made an accidental discovery in Tasmania, of a bed of yellow coal of very superior quality, which bids fair to place him amongst the magnates of the land. THE CRCESUS.—We regret to learn that the burning of the Crcesus was much more fatal than at first be lieved. The muster roll having been lost with the ship, the extent of the loss of life amongst the troops was not known until some time afterwards. It appears that in stead of eight, as was at first stated, 68 individuals perished, of whom all were soldiers, with the exception of one, who was a sailor on board the unfortunat vessel. —Malta Times. Certain parties are not contented with depriv- ing the people of refreshments on Sundays—but they now desire to cut off the supplies during the entire week, and to enforce a compulsory teetotal ism by prohibiting the sale of malt or spirituous liquors except by wholesale. A meeting has been held during the past week at Exeter-hall, for the avowed purpose of obtaining the extension of " the Maine Liquor Law" to England. In other words, because some persons abuse that which, taken in moderation, would be wholesome, all the well-conditioned and well-disposed persons who have never been in the habit of approaching to inebriation are to be subjected to the most stringent restriction ! ODESSA, May 24.—For these last two months our population has lived in daily dread of the approach of an allied squadron. Since the last bombardment, the Government has neglected no precautions for strengthen ing the place, and enabling it to resist an attack as well as an open town can be expected to do. Including some mortar batteries of great range and calibre, we have not fewer than 140 pieces of artilley mounted for our de fence. AN ELECTIONEERING SQUIB, AND NO CRACKER ! During the late contest at Bath some wag had a glazing poster placarded on the walls of the old city, containing the brief but somewhat dubious ejaculation—" Blow me, Tite 1" kf„The following distinguished Americana are at present in Paris :—The lion. Mr. Dodge, Minister to Spain ; the Hon. Mr. O'Sullivan, Minister to Portugal ; the Hon. Mr. Cass, Minister to Rome ; the Hon. Mr. Bel mont, Minister to the Hague ; and the Hon. Mr. Fay, Minister to Switzerland, M. Van Buren, ex-President, isjon the point of leaving Paris for the United States. TRINITY MONDAY.—Yesterday, being ilfrinity Mon day, a special General Court was held at the Trinity house on Tower-hill, at which his Royal Highness Prince Albert was unanimously re-elected Master, and Captain John Shepherd, Deputy-Master of that ancient corpora tion for the ensuing year. Tile Court then proceeded to the parish church of St. Olave, in Hart street, where divine service was performed, and an excellent and ap propriate sermon preached by the Rev. Henry George Liddell, M.A. We am perfectly convinced that if such a thing were at all possible—if the ridiculous notion of those who got up the meeting could be carried into practical execution—it would lead to a great increase in place of a diminution of drunkenness. It is a tendency of human nature to seek after for bidden pleasures, and the very difficulties of the case only enhance the ardour of the pursuit. In France and other countries, where vinous and spirituous liquors are cheap and abundant intoxi cation is comparatively rare, indeed we might almost say unknown. In proportion as we in crease the cost and heap up impediments to ob taining that which may be required we increase the temptation ; and a long-continued compulsory abstinence acts as an almost irresistible stimulus to excess. Persuade men, if yo u can, to restrict them selves, or even to profess total abstinence. Every man may judge for himself ; but the moment you strive to reduce the people to the condition of a pack of school-boys, that you endeavour to restrict their natural liberty, you create a dangerous re action, which may lead to very prejudicial results. An illicit trade will spring up which will set the law at defiance, and drunkenness will become far more prevalent than ever. In fact there will be a retrograde movement of a very deplorable cha racter. ARRIVAL OF WOUNDED SOLDIERS FROM THE CRIMEA. —Forty-seven wounded and disabled soldiers arrived at the North-wall, Dublin, from Portsmouth, at ten o'clock yesterJay. They were conveyed by the police, to Mrs. O'Brien'e hotel. They will be conveyed this day in car riages, provided for their accommodation, to Beggar's Bush Bart acks, for the purpose of being inspected. His Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant will visit them, after which they will proceed to their respective homes. SURVEY OF SCOTLAND.—The Lords of the Treasury have (=aye the Scotsman) ordered the survey of Scotland to be carried on as follows:—For cultivated, populous, and mineral districts, on a scale of 25.344 inches to a mile ; fur uncultivated, Highland, and moorland dis tricts, on a scale of 6 inches to a mile ; the Owns con taining more than 4,000 inhabitants, to be mapped on a scale of 1-500 or 126.72 inches to a mile ; that plans on the 25.344 and 6 inch scales shall he mapped, and copies made when required, by the Anastatic process ; that the general 1-inch map of Scotland be proceeded with as rapidly as possible. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.--An extra performance was given at the Royal Italian Opera last night, when Grisi, for her first time this season, played the guilty Borgia, one of her finest characters—one of those, in fact, in which she will leave no successor when she is really lost to the lyrical stage. Her performance was quite worthy of the reputation which has hitherto been associated with her name in connection with a part of deeply tragic importance. Mario, in the part of Gennaro, is almost as celebrated as the incomparable Grisi. He sang exceedingly well, and confirmed the impression his previous performances this season have suggested--that his voice is in better health and condition than it has been for the last year or two. Mario, in a word, was admirable. Tamburini resumed his old part of the Duke, and we consequently had a judicious impersonation of the crafty and unrelenting husband of the Borgia. The famous "Brindisi" was sung by Madame Nautier Didi6e with sufficient spirit and gaiety to win an encore. Grisi and Mario were recalled after each act ; and at the end of the opera more than once. PRESENTATION OF BURMESE MEDA LS. It is not the first time that injudicious advo cates have materially damaged the cause that they profess themselves desirous of supaorting, and we fear that the Earl of HA BRINGTON, Sir ROBERT CARDEN, and their collaborateurs, will do more to encourage intemperance than the most extensive distiller associated with the largest brewing firm. No •gin-palace proprietor will give such a stimulus to the trade as the twaddlers who insist on its suppression, and strive to make the line of demarcation between rich and poor more decided than it is. There is a sturdy spirit in English hearts that will resist the unwarrantable assumption. Men will not permit the Knight or even the Earl to interfere with their liberty, or to deprive them of that to which they have been accustomed, and which many re quire, on such shallowand frivolous pretences. We are inclined to afford the widest latitude for the discussion of all public questions, but we really think that these parties have in some degree over stepped the legitimate limits in asking for such undue, and, we may add, slavish restrictions. Lot them do as they like themselves, but not strive to coerce others or to interfere with the liberty of the people. If wines or spirits are to be prohibited, they must be cut off from the wealthier as well as the poorer classes—if public-houses are to be closed, clubs must share a similar fate. If labouring men are to be prevented from obtaining a pint of beer to quench their thirst, gentlemen, and Aldermen, and even Peers of the realm, must submit to a like regulation. We have not alluded to the question of reven ue, or to the immense capital invested in the trade ; but some ten or twelve millions per annum to the Exchequer, and some hundreds of millions of capital, are nothing to these SOLONS who rush in so recklessly with their remedies. The people of England may be led, but they will not be coerced ; and if the parties are in earnest in seeking to put an end to intemperance, let them Join Mr. OLIVEIRA. in his efforts to obtain the eTahispwiliadbmse of renderingission France really goo d serv i ce t o th e of the pure and whole thee Wine and Spain, and afford great est facilities f or th e i r di str ib ut i on. cause of t emperance and moderation. This -will go far toward s the abolition of the evils which Sir R. CA.RDEN go pathetically laments, but which the m ost effective means to he is at present t a ki ng enhance ! ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.—The following gen tlemen, having undergone the necessary examinations for the diploma, were admitted members of the college at the meeting of the Court of Examiners on the Ist inst.:—Messrs. William Corbin Finch, Salisbury; Thomas Fitzherbert Snow, Southampton ; Samuel Thomas Jepli cott, Birmingham ; Thomas Gwynne Howell, Build', Breco, shire ; Arthur Kelsey, Horley, Surrey ; Jonathan Dickinson, Newcastle-on-Tyne; Martin Shelton Coucher, Wo-dmanton Worcestershire ; Charles Edward Cot terell, Ryde, Isle of Wight ; George William Lawrence, Sudbury, Suffolk; John Charles Thorowgood, Totteridge, Elerts ; Henry Dewes Best, Bilston ' Staffordshire ; Frederick D u ffy, N o tti ng h am; an d Joseph Clarke, Carr, county of Cavan. Tus SELECT COMMITTEE OF ARTILLERY OFFICERS AT Woormrell.-- -Sir J. Paxton recently moved for a copy of the correspondence relative to the reconstruction of the select committee of Artillery officers and others at Woolwich. From this Parliamentary paper which was published yesterday, it results that the Duke of New castle in January last, when still at the head of the War Department, wrote a letter to Sir Hew D. Ross, expres sive of his opinion that the select committee abovemen tioned was defective in obvious respects, and that under the existing circumstances of the country, the magnitude and importance of the scientific and mechanical problems constantly pressing for solution, called for such an en largement of its constitution as should enable the Go vernment to feel all the confidence in its decisions which an union of the highest scientific attainments with the most enlarged military experience could command. The Juke therefore arrived at the conclusion that the select committee ought to be enlarged by the admission of sun dry' members of the scientific department. The new committee was to be named "The Ordnance Select Com mittee," being no longer exclusively an Artillery corn mitte?. Hew Ross, in complying with his Grace's instructions, e xpresses his regret that the result of the labours of the ac ting committee should be considered so unsatisfactory, am.' hereupon sundry explanations ensue, the Duke of Newcastle observing that, in urging the re constitution of the committee, he was farfrom intending to " imply " (impute ?) azi.y . blame to the distinguished officers forming that committee, or to represent their labours as unsatisfactory , but that some modification of the constitution of the committee itself might be better suited to the multi farious and important labours entailed upon it by the frequent references now made to it upon all the imp ortant scientific disco veries of the day. The details of the new arrangements to be made occupy the remainder of the paper. The Duke's attention seems to have been directed to the ne cessity of reorganising the committee by the frequent appeals from the decisions of the old committee, and complaints against its mode of dealing with the subjeots brought before it. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY _EVENING, JUNE 5 1855 Yesterday morning the military medals granted by the Hon. East Company, commemorative of the recent achievements of the British army in Burma!:, and which have already been presented to several regiinenti which took part in the campaign, were distributed to the 51st (King's Own) Light Infantry, now under orders for the Crimea, by General Sir Harry Smith, at Man chester, in the presence of a considerable number cf spectators. The number of medals given was upwards of 400, the recipients including Colonel Errington, Major Ander son, Captains Irby, Marston, Dickson, Madden, Agg, Sheaffe, Cleeve, Mitforde (who was honoured by havin[ , his medal pinned on .by Lady Smith), Lieutenant C. Acton ; Sergeant. Major Thomas Lawrence, Quartermas ter. Sergeant J. B. Hyde, Orderly Clerk Sergeant G. Thomkins, and 30 sergeants, 24 corporals, 350 privates, and 10 buglers. Sir HARRY SMITH, at the conclusion of the presenta tion, after addressing each soldier separately, addressed the regiment collectively, as follows :—Colonel Erring ton, and comrades of the 51st Light Infantry. It is, I do assure you, highly gratifying to me to have had this opportunity of giving to each individual officer and soldiers these medals, granted by the Honourable East India Company, and given to you by our most gracious Sovereign. It is doubly gratifying to me, also, because it is but following the great example of the most wounderful lady in the world, our own gracious Queen, who the other day herself—with her own noble hand—distributed to those valiant soldiers who have fought in the Crimea the medals which their blood and gallantry had earned for them ; and Jean assure you, 51st Light Infantry, that if it had been in her Majesty's power, she would, with equal pleasure and honour to herself, have given you with her own hand those medals which I have this day distributed. You must be aware, my men, that a soldier can die only once ; and if he dies in the service of his country, whether by the hand of the enemy or of disease, which is prevalent in camps, it is equally honourable to him and to that country which upholds its head above all the nations in the world. (Hear, hear.) You are about, my men, to proceed on another arduous service. I say arduous, because many of you know what it is to be a soldier. The life of a soldier is not that of a feather bed. We don't ex pect a comfortable bed, but enough to eat and drink— (hear, hear) and fighting is all we look forward to, and an endeavour to keep out of hospital. And now, you old soldiers, try to teach the young ones what they have to do in camp, and not to expose themselves unne cessarily to the sun, or to drink when they had better be asleep ; teach them that our duty is to preserve our selves for the purpose of destroying our enemy. Then, my men, we may obtain that glorious result of war—. peace. There is nothing so distressing to nations as war ; therefore it becomes you all to struggle with the greater energy to acquire for your country that blessing of life—peace. And now, 51st Light Infantry, go where you may, well do I know that you will up hold that character of the regiment which it has earned, and which is written on its colours. Do your duty, my men ; fear no one, and look forward to promotion. There is no reason why many of you now in the ranks should not attain to elevated stations in her Majesty's army ; and it is the desire of the Queen and country to promote those who have shown examples of gallantry, by the side of those who have stood in the ranks like yourselves, and are now wear ing medals, and are officers in her Majesty's service. Bear this in mind that by good conduct you can attain to such a rank, and by bad conduct you become a dis grace to your country, which I know you do not desire to be. Let us therefore hope that, by your assistance, this war will soon be terminated, and that when you come to your native land once more, you will strut about the streets like gentlemen with the medals which have been this day distributed to you, and with others that your gallantry will earn. Colonel Errington, and comrades of the 51st Regiment, I wish you all health and good fortune, and a continuance of that honour and glory which you have previously at tained. (Cheers.) LATEST NEWS. EVACUATION OF SOUJ AK KA LI BY THE RUSSIANS. WAR DEPARTMENT, JUNE 5, 10.30 A.M. Lord Panmure presents his compliments to the Editor of The Sun, and has great pleasure in transmitting the enclosed intelligence which has" this day reached him : " SEBASTOPOL, JUNE 3. " News from Kertch of the 2d inst., states that everything there is going on satisfactorily. Captain Moore had arrived from Circassia with the intelligence that Soujak Kali was evacuated on the 28th Miy. The Russians had burnt the principal buildings, and abandoned sixty guns and six mortars, having first rendered them un serviceable." On Wednesday next another interesting ceremony will take place in the barracks—the presentation of new colours to this regiment, in lieu of the old ones which have been much damaged in the Burmese war. ADMIRALTY, JUNE 5, 1855. The Isis frigate sailed from Brest on the Ist inst., for the Baltic. The steam floating battery the Congreve was launched on the same day at Rochfort. FIRE INSURANCE.—CoI. Sibthorp has moved for sun dry accounts relating to fire insurance. The first gives a detailed account of all sums paid into the Stamp-office in Great Britain and Ireland on insurance from fire for the four quarters of 1854. The amount of duty so paid by the London offices during the last quarter of 1854 was 222,468/. in round numbers, and the amount paid by the country offices 93,6871. In Scotland the total amount of duty collected in 1854 was 77,2671., and the sums in sured on farming stock 5,299,394/. The grand total amount of the sums insured by the fire-offices of England (including London) on farming stock exempt from duty was, in the whole of 1854, 58,902,2571. As a specimen of the method with which these and others returns are compiled, it may be mentioned that, in the first return relating to England, no abstract of the grand totals has been given, while, as regards Ireland, both the returns of stamp duty and insurance on farming stock are left thus imperfect. The Secretary of the Admiralty presents his compliments to the Editor of The Sun, and begs to acquaint him that the following intelligence, dated 4th June, has been received from Rear- Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons : " Captain Moore, of H.M.S. Highflyer, who has just returned from the coast of Circassia, re ports that the enemy had entirely evacuated Soujak Kali, after destroying all thn public build ings, sixty guns, and six mortars. " The enemy appears to be concentrating at Anapa, and to be strengthening his works there. The fort on the road between Soujak Kali and Anapa is also evacuated." PARIS, TUESDAY, 7 A.M. The Moniteur announces that the Minister of War has received the following despatch from General Pelissier Tun METROPOLITAN COMMISSIO N OF SEWERS.—A re turn moved for by Mr. Williams, M.P., shows that the gross Vital amount of rates levied by the Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers in the several parishes of the borough of Lambeth, from 184 S to 1854, both inclusive, was 91,3681., making, together with loans, contributions, and other receipts, a gross total receipt of 152,8441. in the seven years. Of the rates levied, 50,2381. were col lected in St. Mary, Lambeth ; 20,3731. in St. Giles', Camberwell ; and 20,7551. in St. Mary's, Newington. The grand total expenditure in the seven years amounted to 129,3721., of which 43,3661. was appropriated to the cost of new works executed ; 4,2301., to repairs ; 20,9071., to cleansing ; 4,400/., to surveys ; 20.2531., to manage ment, including local supervision ; and 31,3511., to the repayment of loans and interest. In the seven years already mentioned; 72,2831. was expended in St. Mary's, Lambeth ; 27,5951., in St. Giles's, Camberwell ; and 29,4931., in St. Mary's, Newington. In 1854, the total receipts in St. Marys, Lambeth, were 35,6921., and the expenditure 26,7541. ; in St. Giles's, Camberwell, the receipts amounted to 12,854/., and the expenditure to 8,827/. ; and in St. Mary's, Newington, the receipts amounted to 13,0651., and the expenditure to 11,0001. The rates varied from 3d. to Bd. in the pound. CRIMEA, JUNE 2, 10 P.M. Advices received from Kertch, dated the 31st of May, announce that, on the refusal of the mili tary authorities of Genitchi, situate on the north ern extremity of the tongue of land of Arabat, to give up the Government stores and 90 vessels laden with provisions for the Russian army in the Crimea, the squadron, under the orders of Captain Lyons, bombarded the place, drove out the troops, and destroyed all the stores. The enemy has thus lost, in four days, an immense quantity of provisions, four war steamers, and 240 vessels employed exclusively in provi sioning the troops in the Crimea. VIENNA, MONDAY EVENING. VISITATION OF THE ROYAL OBSERVATORY, GREEN WICH.—The annual visitation of this establishment took place on Saturday last. Among the company pre sent we noticed—Lord Wrottesley, President of the Royal Society ; Sir David Brewster ; Dr. Whewell, Master of Trinity College, Cambridge ; the Rev. J. Challis, Plumian Professor, Cambridge ; the Dean of Ely ; the Rev. R. Sheepshanks, Admiral W. ll.Smyth ; Messrs. Johnson, Radcliffe Observer, Oxford ; Adams, Hind, De la Rue, J. E. Gray, British Museum ; Capt. Washington, R N., hydrographer to the Admiralty, &c. From a report read to the board of visitors by the As tronomer Royal, detailing the labours of the astronomi cal staff during the year, we learn that, in addition to the ordinary labours of the establishment, which con ist in the regular observation of the sun, moon, planets, &c., with the trausit-circle of the moon, &c., with the altszlinuth, and the transmission of Greenwich time along the principal railways of England, very important extraneous operations have been undertaken, tending to add considerably to the scientific reputation of the Royal Observatory under its present able director. Besides de termining with precision the longitude of Paris by means of the electric telegraph —a work which required some weeks to complete—and also the preparation of a full size model of the transit circle, which has occupied the time of the Executive for a long period, an expedition was formed for the determination of the difference of gravity at the top and bottom of a deep mine, by obser vations of the oscillations of a pendulum. It is not ne cessary to give all the details, but it is sufficient to state that the spot selected for these experbelents was Herten Colliery, near South Shields--a locality which was suit able for various causes. A band of observers from the principal observatories in England was organised, who made the necessary observations under the immediate superintendence of Mr. Dunkin, of the Royal Observa tory. The result is as successful as could be desired, and shows that gravity is increased at a depth of 1,260 feet by its 1-19,000 th part. After the board had offici ally inspected the various departments of the establish ment, the company present dined at the Crown and Sceptre, Lord Wrottesley in the chair. HOCUSSING AND ROBBERY. —At the Middlesex ses sions yesterday before Mr. Sergeant Adam, John Jores, 23, was indicted for having stolen a gold watch and chain, and 151. in Bank-notes, the property of Robert Chisholm Hutchinson. It appeared that on the 7th ult. the prosecutor, a master mariner, was in C.4racechurch street, when a tnae asked him the way to the Eastern Counties Railway. The prosecutor said he would show him to the Minories, and on their way thither they went into a public-house, and had some ale. There they were joined by the prisoner and another, and in the course of conversation the prisoner said he had just been left 11,000/. and some houses, and it was his intention to purchase a ship and visit the colonies, if he could get some competent person to navigate the vessel, upon which the prose cutor said that he was a master mariner, and being out of an engagement would acccept the offer if they came to terms. They then proceeded to the Hutchinson's Arms, in Devonport-street, Commercial-read, where four glasses of gin and water were called for. The pro secutor left the room for a short time, and was followed by the prisoner, who begged of him to take a cigar in stead of a pipe. On returning he drank his glass of gin and water, after which he became insensible, and he re collected nothing until be found himself in the street, when he saw two of the men running away, one of them having his watch and chain in his band. He gave chase, but they got clear off. On examining his pocket, he found that three halves of Si. notes which he had in his port-monnaie, and the three corresponding halves which he had sealed in another pocket, had been stolen from him, and a bag containing two flash notes and two medals in imitation of sovereigns placed in his pocket instead. About a fortnight after wards, be was passing by Moses's shop, in the Minories, when he saw the prisoner talking to another man. Ise at once recognised him, and collared him, and notwith standing a desperat e effort which he made to get away gave him into custody. On the prisoner beingsearched two purses, a gold watch, and chain were found in ore of his pockets, and in another four flash notes and five medals, like those left in the prosecutor's pocket. These flash notes were of the "Bank of Engraving," and were issued by a printer in the New-cut. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. The Assistant-Judge made some observations upon the impropriety of issuing these imi tation bank -notes. The prisoner was then sentenced to : be kept in penal servitude for 4 years. The Conferences were formally closed at a late sitting held here to-day. Advices from the frontier of Catalonia state that a conspiracy had just been discovered there, the object of which was to make the Carlists mas ters of the important fortress of Figueras. Marsal, one of Cabrera's old lieutenants, was concealed in the district of Lampourdan, ready to enter the place. Prince Gortschakoff reports by telegraph that on the 26th his outposts were in possession of the right bank of the Tchernaya. FRAN CE. PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. The garrison of Paris and the first division were reviewed to-day, by the Emperor, in the Camp de Mars. Prince Ismail Pacha, son of Ibrahim Pacha, and Prince Coust-Soutzo, of Wallachia, had the honour of being received yesterday, by the Emperor, toge ther with the Turkish charge d'affaires. A letter from Toulon, of the 2d, says :—" The. steam advice-boat, the Liamone, left this port yes terday for the Levant. From her small draught of water she will, without doubt, proceed at once to Kertch and the Sea of Azoff, where her services will be of great utility. The Psyche frigate, having on board a detachment of the 4th artillery and 24 horses, was ready yesterday to sail for the East, and had even made preparations to work out of port, but the wind was so contrary that, she was forced to forego her intention. For the last two days we have had nothing here but heavy rain. Last night in particular the quantity which came down was unusually great." The Semaphore of Marseilles contains a letter from Kamiesh of the 22d, which says : " I have no important movement to communicate to you. Firing has almost ceased, but it is knowp that the fomation of mines is continuing. The-weather is delight ful, and the health of the troops excellent. This morning General Pelissier sent direct to the chiefs of the staff of the three allied armies instructions under the form of n3tes. this new method of proceeding appeared, it is said, to cause some surprise. Canrobert's the Ist of the 2d corps ; Brunet's, the sth of the 2d corps, all the cavalry, and 9 batteries of artillery , are to advance to-morrow to take up a position oppo site the Russian camp. The evacuation of Eupatoria is spoken of as probable. The news is not official, but several circumstances seem to render it probable. The French troops are now at only 10 yards distance from the South Bastion of Sebastopol, and, to use an expres sion of the soldiers, we can now fight with the Russians with stones.' ~ BOURSE, JUNE 4.—CLOSING PRICES.

CONSTANTINOPLE, May 24.—Reschid Pacha is living in retirement at his splendid palace, the late acquisition at Emirghib,n, on the Bosphorus, and his Vienna mission, it appears, is adjourned sine die. Mehemet Ali Pacha also, since his re t urn from exile, has been living in strict seclusion, and never once appeared in public. The French Chargé d'Affaires, M. Benedetti, had been appointed, by a late decision of his sovereign, Minister at the Court of Persia ; but counter-orders have since then recalled him to the French capital, and he will start immediately on the arrival of M. Thou venel, the new ambassador. Mehemet Bey, Res chid Pacha's son, destined to the post of ambassador at the Tuileries, has not as yet left" Constantinople, and waits, it is .said, the arrival of the French Emperor, of which the Turkish Government has not still abandoned all hopes. The health of the capital and environs is excel lent, and only 13 cases of cholera during the week were reported yesterday at the last sitting of the council of health. The weather is splendid. THE PRINCIPALITIES. A letter from Vienna, in the Dresden, Journal, says :—" Half of the 35,000 Austrians quartered at Bucharest have left for' Kimpina, where a large camp for manoeuvres has been formed. They will remain there for six weeks, and be then replaced by the other half. Officers of the Austrian staff are about to commence a topographical survey of Wal lachia, on different points at the same time. Some of the officers charged with this duty have already left for the frontier of Moldavia, and others for Tultcha and Bulgaria. M. Ballau, a French en gineer, whose arrival at Bucharest was considered to be connected with the construction of a railway for uniting that place to Constantinople, has left for Iltustchuck to superintend the formation of a road from that place to Varna." A letter from Vienna, of the 31st ult., in Voss's Gazette, says :—" Our Government sees with regret the frequent changes that are ,made in the com manders of the T ur ki s h troops in Wallachia„ which prevents the possibility of - a p roper nu de / standing being established between the superior c hiefs of the forces of the two powers. Assan Pacha, who has lately commanded the Turkish forces, had given great satisfaction, and he now has been replaced by Soliman Pacha. As these changes are in ge neral.caused either by intrigue or by corruption, this last nomination is attributed to a renegade who arrived from Schumla at the beginning of this month. The friends of the Turkish Go vernment are, however, taking steps to induce the Muschir to revoke the above appointment. Some of the shipowners of Trieste have applied to the Government to have the mouth of the Sulina cleared by steam dredging machines, but as some time will elapse before any decision will be come to on the subject, the Lloyd's Company have decided on sending a steam tug to assist vessels in the meantime." CIRCASSIA. The intelligence just received from Circassia is very important. At a military council, held at Batoum on the 2d instant, the Turkish Commander in-Chief proposed certain measures, which were unanimously accepted. It appears that the army of Batoum is to march along the coast of Circassia, and, after laying siege to Soujak Kali, to advance against Anapa, and from thence cross over to the Crimea. The head-quarters of the army, conse quently, had shifted to Sohumkale, where all the Abaza chiefs between Sotcha and Tchurookson had already arrived. The mountaineers pledge them selves to furnish a force of 40,000 men, to be ac tively employed when the army takes the field. The chief men at Sohumkale at present are Moha med Emin, Seffer, and Behchet Pachas. PRUSSIA. A letter from Berlin, of the 2d, says :—" The Prussian Government, like that of Austria, has wldressed a circular despatch to the German Courts relative to the Russian note of the 10th May. It declares in that despatch, which is dated the 23d ult., that for its part it does not intend to take in the Diet any steps to excite the Confederation to take part on one side or the other ; but that it can not admit in principle that the German States must- undertake to remain neutral under all cir cumstances." A letter from Berlin, of the 31st ult., in the Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, says :—" All the negotiations hitherto opened between Prussia and the Western Powers having been broken off. M. de Used om, who had been charged at London with a secret mission from the Cabinet of Berlin, and who had only prolonged his residence in Eng land for family reasons, is about to return here." AUSTRIAN NOTES. In addition to the circular despatch of the 17th of May, addressed by tho Austrian Government to the representatives of Austria at German Courts, the following private despatch was addressed, under the same date, to Count Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador at Berlin : "VIENNA, MAY 17. "Monsieur le Comte,—The Prussian Cabinet has been informed by M. de Bismarck of what has been done at Frankfort as regards the step M. de Glinka, the Russian Charge d'Affaires, was ordered to take by his Court. We approve that M. de Bismarck did not provoke a dis cussion in the Diet on this step of the Russian Govern ment, and we do not doubt that Prussia, like Austria, does not deem such a discussion suitable. We also enter tain the conviction that the other German Courts will not pay further heed to this new attempt of Russia to sepa rate the private interests of Germany from the general interests of Europe, as the object of Russia thereby can only be to maintain disunion in Germany, and to make sure as far as possible of the resolutions of the German Courts before the final result of the Vienna Conferences is known, and before we can be in a position to express ourselves to our confederates on the ensemble of the situation, and what it truly demands on the part of Ger many. "However, not to allow any doubt to exist on the point of view in which we look upon the declaration made by Russia at Frankfort we address the annexed circular to our representatives in Germany. (Circular of 17th May, published in our impression of Saturday.) We request you to communicate it to Baron Manteuffel, and on this occasion to express to the Minister-President our confident hope that on this point the views of the Prussian Cabinet coincide with our own. " COUNT BITOL. "To His Excellency Count Esterhazy, Berlin." The report that Austria, under date of . 25th of May, has issued another circular is confirmed. We have not yet received the text of this new circular, but the following letter from Berlin contains the substance of it "The new Austrian Circular of the 25th of May has produced an immense effect. It could not be other wise. Although in this circular Austria promises to remain faithful to her engagements, to maintain the 'Four Points,' to preserve an armed attitude until the moment when negotiations may be resumed, and to make of her last proposi tions, if accepted at Paris and London, the object of an ultimatum to Russia—although this and other similar declarations are made in th;s document, which will probably be the closing act of the Vienna negotia tions, at least provisionally, it is equally certain that it betrays the intention of Austria, should her propositions be rejected, to assume an expectant line of policy. Any impartial reader of this document will come to this con clusion." SARDINIA. The Piedmontese Gazette of this day publishes the following official notice of the re-cast of the Ministry : " His Majesty, in an audience this morning, has pro vided for the completion of the Cabinet in the following manner : "President of the Council and Minister of Finance — Count Camillo di Cavour. "Foreign Affairs—The Noble Luigi •Cibrario. " Interior—Commendatore Urbano Rattazzi. " War and Marine—Commendatore Giacomo Du rand°. " Grace and Justice—Commendatore Giovanni Da foresta. " Public Instruction—Doctor Giovanni Lanza. "Public Works—Commendatore Pietro Paleocapa." RUSSIA. We have received the St Petersburgh journals of the 29th May. They do not as yet publish any news of the Kertch expedition. A telegraphic despatch from St. Petersburg states that the following despatch had been received there, dated Sebastopol, Ist June : "On the 27th Maythe - enemy burnt two houses at Berdiansk, some coasting vessels, and considerable stores of grain. " On the 29th May, 17 of the ,enemy's vessels canno naded Genital', burnt the transport vessels there, and the corn stores. Two of our guns compelled the enemy's, boats, that were setting fire to the place, to retire. " On the 30th, the enemy had not undertaken any thing new against Genitchi." " - Although," says the Augsburg Gazette, " the Russian telegraph from Simpheropol to St. Peters burg, and to Vienna by Kew, has been opened since the 27th May, the Russians have not yet pub lished any despatch that Is calculated to throw light on the successes obtained by the Allies. All that is really known is, that General Liprandi received orders to evacuate the heights of Kamara and the valley of Baidar at the approach of the Allies, and to withdraw on • the upper line of the . Belbeck. General Chomutoff had previously received instruc tions to defend only for form's sake the peninsula of Kertch, and to take up a position with his troops on the line from Kaffa to Arabat, establishing his centre at St. Crim." The Elamburg News contains a letter from St. Petersburg, which says—" Capt. Vernlow lately made his appearance in the drawing ooms of thg capital, and has excited much attention from the fact that although he is only 23 years of age, he has 24 years of service. Ist, he has been eight years in the army ; 2d, he has served six months at Sebastopol, and as, according to an order of the Cabinet of Emperor Nicholas, each month's ser vice there is to count as a year, his six months are equivalent to six years, which give fourteen years in all; 3d, he wears the order of Ste. Anne and'of Wladimir, the cross of the order of St. George, and has a sabre of honour, which reckon for ten years More, and in that way he makes up the 24 years. Strange to say, although the officer has been in 12 sorties, he has never:received a wound." THE BALTIC. • A Hamburg letter of the 29th ult., in the Inde pendance Belge, says:-- "The English Government is still increasing the num ber of its war vessels in the Baltic. At no former period was so powerful a fleet assembled in any sea. I might every day announce to you in my letters the arrival from the English ports of additional ships of war going to join the fleet of Admiral Dundas, in the Gulf of Fin land. On the 24th, a transport steamer, laden with ammunition, and a gun boat, entered Elsinore. On the 25th a bomb vessel, the Redwing, reached Copes hagen, and on the 27th the steam corvette Volcano, with a gun-boat, arrived at Kiel, also coming from Eng land. It is not to be supposed that so large a -concentra tion of naval forces in the Gulf will remain there in active as last year. The English officers say that Ad miral Dundas is only waiting the junction of the French squadron, of which he naturally desires the co-opera tion, to commence hostilities. The English fleet now lying at anchor near the island of Nargen, opposite Revel, in the G ulf of Finland, cons i st s of 13 steam ships of the line, four corvettes, and six gun-boats. The frigates and other lighter vessels are cruising in various directions. lam told that after the declaration of the legal blockade, the English commander before Libau allowed the Belgian merchantman Ernest to leave that port in ballast. Four English ships of war are con stantly in sight of Sweaborg, closely watching the movements of the enemy in that military port. In a few hours they can communicate with the main body of the fleet stationed at Nargeii. The Isles of Aland con- SS' iel A tinuo to be completely abandoned, no Baps. .-- . e d having as yet visited them. Hostilities are to be carri .s ail d it i . on this year at the other extremity of the Gulf, to be presumed that Admiral Dundas with the fto.r.e inidable steam fleet at his disposal, and the' forces on over way to join bins, will not allow the season toea .0 without s t r iking some decisive blow against Russian fortresses in that sea. The appearance of three Epci'sr3o ships of war before Korpo, near Abo, had caused Vie.° considerable alarm. The R ussia° commander ti time ving made the signals agreed upon, an entire division of troops was concentrated et 'l u st ,nd along th e coast. This place is considered the 11 3 11 ,. 1 important in the G tiff of Bothnia.
