Sumners' Divorce Bill was read a third time and passed. EXCHEQUER BILLS (7,000,0001) On the order of the day for the third reading of this bill, . Sir WILLOUGHBY expressed his opinion that it was impolitic to add such a large sum as this to t!), unfunded debt, for it was only postponing the funded debt ; for instance, 2,000,0001. of the3years '57, '5B, and '59 were already forestalled, which he thought a solid reason for objecting to this bill. If the house had done nothing else, as some people said, it had certainly voted money i❑ the most liberal manner. The house have this year voted no less than 92,000,0001., or very nearly so, of which 69,000,0001. are taxation ; a loan of 16,009,0001., and this additional 7,000,0001. He be lieved that all our expenditure, enormous as it was, could not amount to this enormous sum. He had great doubts if we know what we were about in voting all those vast war supplies. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said with regard to the increase of the unfunded debt it was not considerable as compared with the late war and later periods, though it was larger than any one could wish if there was any option. The house ought also to hear in mind there was a considerable amount of navy bills, ordnance hills, and other bills afloat in former times, whereas now the whole of the unfunded debt was represented by the Exchequer Bonds now out standing. In order tl defray large demands upea the finances of the country, a Ways and Means Bill was necessary at the very commencement of the year; and ho thought there was no ground for supposing that there was any error in his calculations. No advance had been made from the Savings Banks money for those purposes, and it was not his intention to touch that money. (Hear.) The bill was then read a third time, and passed.

On the crder of the day for the third reading of this bill, Lord J. RUSSELL rose and said he wished to offer a few remarks to the house on this subject. He be lieved, whether we considered the amount of money voted this year by the house, or whether we looked at the prospect before us, it was a matter of deep importance. Taking these matters into considera tion, if we look to the prosperity of the war, and, looking to our navy, great as it was, it was evident the enemy did not mean to meet us in that way. We were now is the month of August, and the.prospects were not more favourable. With respect to our prospect in the Black Sea, there was danger to Turkey on the Asiatic frontier. He was in hopes there would be some strength afforded by a foreign enlistment bill, but in that hope he was disappointed. Still no such force had been sent to the scene of action, and therefore, with regard to the Asiatio frontier, we had no decisive prospect of safety there. The force now in the Crimea would be met by a large Russian army, increased by large forces from Poland and other places. Those were matters of very great importance, and such as re quired the utmost consideration. It would be the business of the Government to consider the means for the next cam paign ; but on that he wished to say nothing, for already too much publicity had been given to those measures. It was not his intention to revive the discussion of the other evening with regard to a particular proposition of limitation or counterpoise, or any other scheme by which the preponderance of Russia should be put an end to in the Black Sea, but to refer partly to what had occurred, and partly to the future. With regard to himself, although he entirely acquiesced in the decision of his noble friend, that it was advan tageous for the public service that his despatches containing an account of his proceedings at Vienna could not be produced, he hoped the time would come when they might be given entire, .without garbling or omissions—when Parliament and the country would be enabled to form a correct estimate of his motives and conduct. It would have been observed that the Turkish Ambassador at Vienna, who was a man as conversant with European affairs as any person he had met with, and knew the interests of his own country, had not stated his dissatisfaction of the terms proposed by the Austrian Government, nor had they heard whe ther the proposition was received in a similar manner at Constantinople as it was at London and Paris; and if not the Turkish Government must have been of opinion that the terms proposed by Austria was sufficient for the security of Turkey. If, therefore, the course of the war had been changed, and they were called on to continue it for the maintenance of the military and naval reputa tion of England and France, and not for the security of Turkey, no doubt Turkey, as they had been the means of eaving,her would contribute to their assistance ; but, in that case, there must be no more Turkish loans and guarantees, but they must give her downright plain subsidies. Such, he thought, must be the inevitable re sult, if the Turkish Government be of opinion at any time that sufficient terms of peace had been proposed. He was disposed to pay the utmost attention to any opinion their ally, France, might give with reference to negotiations for peace should such arise, and it would be the duty of the English Government to consider the whole of the circumstances, who, he hoped, on the one band, would not consent to any terms they did not think honourable and safe, and, on the other, not continue the war when such terms could be obtained. With re spect, then, to the three questions—that of carrying on the war at present, the preparations for the future campaign, and any negotiations for peace that might arise, he could only say that there never could be greater confidence placed in a Go vernment than that reposed in them by the bill they were about to read a third time, and the house would have a right to call on them at the commence ment of the next session to show their confidence had not been misplaced. He next adverted to the sum of money granted for the conveyance of the Sardinian army. 73 - /8 7j - 8I 7j - 81 - 7i 74 98 100 98 —98 i A — is 86 87 7 e e .. • -- 25} - 7f 8} 70 - 70 10 - 42 10 - 8 1 - li i'6 - Ei 30 ... 31 72j 73j 7 6j 3i 3A 134 131 48j 494 48 5G d par Ad 64 6,1 fit 1 d far ... ... ... 25 - 27 105 -- 107 71 -- 73 44 -- 46 13i - 14. 60 -61 i 31 31 4 -- 3 2d -- par! 6 - 41 5 - 54 20 21 3 - 4 20 - 22 5 - 7 lELEPT SPEAKING. ] ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.—(TErs DAY.) HOME CIRCUIT-CROYDON. The commission for the county was opened yesterday by Mr. Justice Cresswell, with all the usual formalities. The learned judge met with such a reception as has not been witnessed in this town for many years. Their lordships commenced basiuess this morning, Mr. Justice Cresswell presiding in the Crown, and Mr. Justice Wightman in the Civil Court. The calendar contains the names of only 11 prisoners for trial. One for child murder, one for concealment of birth, one for perjury, one for an unnatural offence, one for stabbing, one for bigamy, and the rest for burglaries and larcenies. On the civil side there are no less than nearly 200 causes for trial, among which is the important case of "Boyle v. Wiseman." CRIMINAL COURT, Mr. Justice Cresswell sat in this Court, and the grand jury having been empanelled and sworn, Sir W. G. Hylton Jolliffe was appointed foreman. The learned judge proceeded to deliver his charge to them, congratulating them and the county upon the short list of criminals for trial. His lordship, after carefully looking over the depositions in all the cases in the calendar, said that it was very probable the grand jury would reject them. There was one charge of child murder which was remanded from the last as sizes, which was the case of a young woman named Beldham, who was charged upon the coroner's inquisi tion with the wilful murder of her new-born male child at Farnham. The case was certainly one of strong suspicion, but whether or not it would form a subject for conviction his lordship thought the grand jury would do well to put it into a course for further investigation. His lordship, however, considered, after looking at the evidence, that the charge was one of murder or nothing. As to the case of the felonious committal of an unnatural offence the whole rested upon the evidence of one individual, and probably the grand jury would consider it right to reject the bill. The case of feloniously and maliciously stabbing was the case of two brothers, and was one showing the mischief that arose from intemperance. It appeared that the prisoner and his brother had been drinking at Barnes, that a quarrel arose between them, and that on falling on the ground together, a knife, with which the prisoner had been eating bread and cheese, wounded his brother. The only question was, whether that wound had been inflicted by accident or on pur pose? His lordship, after referring to the other cases in the Calendar, referred the grand jury to their duties. A sentence recently passed in Switzerland upon a man found guilty of sacrilege shows considerable inge nuity in the art of punishment. The criminal is to be ea posed for a quarter of an hour in the iron collar used at executions, and under the surveillance of the execu tioner ; to receive publicly sixty strokes of the rod from the hand of the same dread officer ; five years of hard labour ; to remain ten years within the boundary of his native commune ; never to be able to marry, and to lose all civil and political rights ; to pass through certain religious exercises ; and, finally, to confess his crime in. the church—a rod in his hand and a cord round hifi neck ! The tribunal from which this sentence proceeds is that of Obwald. AZ , HONEY MARKETI AND CO3IMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLoci. The cotton market at Liverpool yesterday closed with a heavy feeling, but without change in prices. The sales amounted to 6,000 bales, (700 of which were taken on speculation), com prising 120 Pernam and A.laranham at 61d. to 7d. ; 500 Egyptian at ad. to 0-2-d. ; 1,000 Surat at 4d. to 5d., and 30 Sea Islands at Is. VA. per lb. The Railway Share Market was dull, without any re markable feature. The stocks of sugar at the principal ports of Great Britain on the Ist August were as follows : Total. 83,800 tons. 143,538• „ 113,800 „ 149,990 „ Year 1855 „ 1854 „ 1853 „ 1852 „ 1851 . 149,118 , Accounts from Hamburg state that the potato disease there had never manifested itself so strongly as at present. There had been frequent thunder storms, accompanied by hail at times. The improvement of the Postal communication with Australia is what every one anxiously desires, and the problem still is, how best to effect the de sired object. Our own impression is that to insure regulation no company or association that has not already steamers at its command, and such a prac tical staff as is accustomed to these matters, should be allowed to take it in hand, otherwise there will be every likelihood of as decided a break up as with the Royal Australian Mail Company. The'following is an -extract of a letter, dated Sydney, April 25, just received from the agent of the Australian General Investment Association : "I have seen the Governor about the postal commu nication, and shall see him again. I have little doubt of obtaining all I ask—i. e., 24,0001. subsidy, and the postages. You must do all you can to prepare some company or parties to take up the matter. You can, I think, find little difficulty when so good a certain annual revenue is secured ; and I hope by the following mail to receive sufficient powers from the Australian General Investment Association to make a distinct proposal on their behalf, which I should make subject to ratification, but you must inculcate on the directors that promptitude of action is everything in colonial enterprises." The applicants for allotments in the French Loan are very desirous that they should be received as early as possible, their capital being locked up, and there is no doubt that the French Government will hasten the distribution, because of the tight ness that exists temporarily at Paris. A large number of persons there have drawn their bankers' balances to a lower point than usual, in order, by asking for more than they require, to make certain of some portion, and until they get the balance of the sum they ask, find themselves rather inconvenienced. The considerable sums in gold received here from Australia and America this week will serve to augment the available stock of which parties requiring to export the precious metal can avail themselves, but we apprehend that just at present bullion is more likely to return from the continent. The original Committee of Anglo-Peruvian Bondholders, undeterred by opposition and diffi culties, continue strenuously to oppose the perse vering attempts made by parties holding the home debt to get it quoted in the London Stock Ex change, and give very cogent reasons against a compromise. This day the home bondholders are holding a meeting which is still in progress, and although it cannot be denied that many of those who have the Anglo-Peruvian debt have also be come possessed of the home stock at very low rates, there is no valid reason on this score to assert that the English creditors at large are interested in the matter. The original Committee, in a do cument they have addressed to their constituents, 20 20 10 10 23 8/ 2e state : While one of these documents assumes credit for the punctual payment of the interest on the Anglo- Peruvian Bonds, which is not denied, as well as for the regular application of the sinking fund, of which we know but little, it ignores the incontrovertible fact of the hypothecation of five-eighths of the proceeds of guano sold in Great Britain, by the contract on the faith of which the Old Bonds were converted. The committee have forwarded protests to the Peruvian Government against the non-fulfilment of this formal pledge, and have made great exertions to obtain the full execution of it ; had it been carried out, nearly one million of the debt would already have been liquidated. To the un ceasing, action of the committee in your behalf is solely due the present increase of the sinking fund to five per cent. on the 41 per Cent. Bonds, and of three per cent. on the 3 per Cent. Bonds. But highly creditable as this increase is to the good intentions and sense of justice of Gen. Castilla, in which the committee have expressed their confidence, they cannot but consider it as much below your just claims, and as inadequate to the object of having the debt extinguished in a reasonable time ; the deposits of Guano, which were once said to be inexhaustible, be ing now known to be limited, and in course of rapid diminution. That it was the original intention of the Peruvian Government to extinguish the debt at an early period is evident from the clause in the contract for the 41 per Cents., which reserves the ri g ht of p a yi ng off at par so much o the loan as shall not have been re duced at the expiration of ten years. Senor Rivero acknowledges the notorious irregularity which attended the transactions connected with the arbitrary and un paralleled conversion of that portion of the internal debt into sterling bonds, which were issued to Messrs. Uribarren, of Paris, and to Mr. Joseph Hegan, and were attempted to be introduced into this market to your serious injury. Among the objects of the appoint ment of this committee was, that of resisting the quota tion of the Sterling Bonds of the Home Debt in the Offi cial List of the Stock Exchange, and you are all aware that, through the efforts of the committee, this object was attained. It is therefore with no small concern and regret that the committee now find an option given to the possessors of these securities of ex changing them for 3 per Cent. Bonds, with a sinking fund of 2? per cent. The acceptance of this option will make an amount of 1,589,0001., which is nearly equal to that of the present 3 per Cents. Whether accepted in whole or in part, the old attempt, although in another form and for a diminished amount, will probably be re vived, of obtaining a quotation in the official list ; and as this would also be most prejudicial to your interest, this committee will feel bound to resist it, and have no doubt the Stock Exchange Committee will adhere to their former wise and just decision." The Funds are well supported, but (with very little doing, and all the arrangements for the set tlement of accounts to-morrow appear now to be completed. Consols for money have been up to 91 and 911, and for Account 904 to 91. Exchequer Bills at 2d. are 19s. to 225. premium. Bank Stock is steady at 214, and India Stock at 231.

BITS ABOUT BRIGHTON. When undertakings are prosperous the managers dine and talk about them. They congratulate one another on tleF..e prandial occasions, and form resolutions to render the benefits which they have obtained Ellhstrintial and permanent. No wonder, then, that the Brighton Race Committee celebrated the success which has at tended their exertions in this old English fashion. Some weeks ago they gave a dinner, at which were present the chief patrons and well-wishers of the meeting. Com pliments, well deserved and modestly acknowledged, were paid to Mr. Slight, jun., for his active exertions in restoring the meeting to popularity. Mr. Stocken, the secretary, also came in for his share of praise, whilst the atility and tact of Mr. Doriing were not, passed over in silence. The speech-makers on that occasion, however, did not omit honourable men tion of one of the principal causes which contributed to the success of the race meeting and the pecuniary ad vantage of the town, viz.--the travelling facilities which aro afforded by the Brighton and South Coast Railway Company. Tile statements which were then made were founded on troth, and the gathering, which will com mence to-morren-, will show that they were not mere noisy boastings caused by temporary success. If the programme contains no very prominent feature of in terest, yet it presents a promise of attractive sport, which is likely to he fully realised. Speculation on the Brighton Stakes has been mate rially stopped by the formidable "French Flyer," Baron cino, who has engrossed nearly all the betting. Still, despite the easy style in which he achieved his success at Goodwood, I am inclined to believe that, at the weights, he will find Quincy a most troublesome oppo nent. Ile meets him at a difference of only Gibs, for the year, and this fact, coupled with the circumstance of the great improvement nianifo:lted in Quince at Goodwood, is sufficient to warrant the opinion which I have expressed. Still I do not think slightingly of Baroneino's chance. If the reported trials between Mishap and Surgeon-General be true Mishap can have no chance. The winner will doubtless be either BARON CINO or QUINCE, and the judges' decision may reverse the order in which I have set down their names. Were they cut of the race I should desire no better champions than Winkfield and Fuibeck. The Biennial Stakes may bring out Escape, Puguator, and Instructress. Although Escape beat Pugnator at Epsom I do not expect him to repeat the achievement at Brighton. I shall not express an opinion on either the Marine Plate or the Pavilion Plate, because it is impossible to ascertain the probable starters. George Brown is in brisk demand for the Nursery Stakes. I, however, prefer the chances of Elfrida and Rip Van Winkle. Should he start old Rataplan will, of course, win the Cup. The Champagne Stakes will, per haps, be carried off by Andover. If his owner, how ever, do not deem it advisable to bring him out for it, either Pumicestone or Epaminondas may win. August 7. A FRESH MAN. LEGITIMIST CONSPIRACY IN FRANCE AND SPAIN. The French papers announce the discovery of a conspiracy, with very extended ramifications, under the auspices, as it is affirmed, of the Counts tie Chambord and de Montemolin, with the two fold object of promoting their own peculiar inte rests and at the same time creating a diversion in favour of Russia by embarrassing the Western Powers. It is needless to add that Russian gold is the mainspring of the whole affair. The following document, which is publi s h e d by the Constitutionnel, it appears, was intercepted in the possession of General Elio, who drew it up for the Count de Montemolin. It is dated London, Nov. 24, 1854, and states :—" I have had the honour to see his Highness, whom I found better than I could have expected. I have seen General Cabrera also. But before speaking to you of these gentlemen I must give you an account of the mis sion of M. d'Escars. Yesterday lie visited me, ac companied by M. Cbapot, and described the inter view which he had with Prince Gortschakoff at Vienna. I made him repeat the whole narrative, so that I might learn it by heart, and I now send to you in the form of a dialogue, in order that you may the better understand it : D'Escars—Prince, I come on the part of the Count de Montemolin to deliver to you this letter for the Emperor. It is a confirmation of the negotiations with you which were commenced by the Count de Chambord. Gortschakoff—l beg pardon, Count, for interrupting you ; but in the few words you have said I already no tice two mistakes. The Count de Chambord has never said a word to toe on the subject. The Duke de L—s called on me and spoke of the affairs of Spain as a mat ter which interested him personally. But what he said was merely in the way of conversation, and had in no respect the character of a negotiation, for I had no powers for such a purpose. D'Escars (somewhat surprised, because he had bean told that it was the Count de Chambord, and had said what he did under that impression) : As you will, Prince. But to give more authority to that conversation, and to confirm the details given by Cabrera, the Count de Mon temolin wrote to the Emperor. Gortschakoff—l don't know whether I ought to re ceive this letter. Do you know what it contains ? D'Escars—Certainly not. ; but I suppose it is, as I have said, the confirmation of General Cabrera's note, in order to relieve the Emperor's mind from any doubt, and to call his attention to the state of Spain, and show the ad vantage which Russia would find in a diversion. Gortschakoff---I have made up my mind to receive the letter, but merely as an act of politeness—nothing more. Understand this perfectly, I beg, M. le Comte, and be good enough to repeat what I say exactly. No doubt diversion in Spain would be very useful. But the de tails I have received are extremely vague, and the Em peror cannot compromise himself in an affair which may be nothing but smoke. Parties are apt to deceive them selves, and readily mistake their wishes for facts. D'Escars—lt is possible. But the situation of Spain is too well known for it to be apprehended that the affair in;which the support of the Emperor is desired can be only smoke, and a few millions might insure the success of the enterprise. I presume that the Emperor bad the first note, and you possibly ntay have received some answer to it. Gortschakoff:LYeil are aware that Russia is engaged in a struggle with all Europe, and that, consequently, she has need of all her resources. Not a word on the subject of the application made to the Emperor. D'Escars—That is true, Prince : but for the very rea son that you are spending hundreds of millions, the five, six, or seven millions that we require can be of no mo ment to you. I apprehend that the Emperor must have seen the note in question, and perhaps we may be per mitted to know his intentions on the subject. Gortschakoff—lt is evident that such a matter as that must have come to his knowledge. Bub I have received no instructions, and, as I have already said, I must beg you to repeat our conversation correctly, and to repeat that I receive your letter only by way of courtesy, and listen to your details and this entire conversation only as information. D'Escars thought it useless to press the matter fur ther, and went to London to tell Cabrera, who was ex pecting him with impatience, because the first accounts which D'Escars must have communicated to you had led him to conceive flattering hopes which this conversation aid not confirm. Finding me here, D'Escars requested me to make you acquainted with what precedes, because he was too pressed for time, and he went away immedi ately. After this explanation, we spoke in a general way about money. It appears that there are no means of getting any. I put forward your idea of a subscription— yourself, the Infant, Chambord, Modena, Cabrera, &c., each subscribing according to his means to create the basis of a fund. Fur mysClf I think, as far as I can see at present, this would be the shortesi, way. But there is this additional circumstance—the gentlemen !lere, and especially Chapot, who appears to he an intelligent man, think that with the foundation of a fund it would be possible to negotiate at Paris. We therefore strongly recommended them to press these considerations on the Count de Chambord, although they said he could do but little, his income being otherwise engaged. .As lat present see Lo other course open, until Providence sends us another, we oust work this, and, subject to your Majesty's approbatiou, my opinion is, that it would be well to write to Cham bord, Modena, and Berry to come to an understanding with the principal personages of their town (sic) to see if they can aid your Majesty. They may do this without compromising themselves, because the object is to find . a , confidential banker with whom the funds may be plac%l e and no other names will appear than those of youi!... jesty, the Infant, and the Count of Morellailbglavr; these respectable names, and all the collefltive s so s as to tions, it is to be hoped that we may negoti 3 "7oelated obtain something more. The French have I, that their names are not to be mentioned. • , n. Having discussed with these gentlemen cipal questions confided to me, we have res olved the following manner : 1. For the moment they do not thethrteheePnis-in but you should t Nap c le o be ready to leave, eith er that your Majesty should quit or 8 s n ; sider it necessary pu bli c ly ecretl y, whenever it may be necessary. On the subject of money there Spain, A h av e done nothing, and all that c3anbso what may b e t e said about i t done have in la rgely developed above.

(From the Nei. Fork Herald.) We find the following comparative table of the wheat crop of 1849, as shown in the United States' census of 1850, and the estimated crop of 1855, in the Cincinnati Price Current : 1849. Bushel% Ohio 14,487,000 Pennsylvania; 15,387,000 Virginia 11,212,000 New York 13,121,000 Alabama 294,090 Illinois Indiana lowa Kentucky Maryland. Michigan Missouri Tennessee Wisconsin 1835. Bushels. 16,000,000 18,003,000 12,000,000 15,003,000 503,000 13,000,000 10,000,000 2,500,000 3,000,000 4,000,000 0,003,000 4,000,000 3,500,000 7,000,000 Totals 92,086,000 114,500,000 Since the season of 1549, and i nc l u di ng t h e present year, in nearly all the IN'estern States at least one-third I more acres of land have been placed under cultivation, while in New England, New York, New Jersey, Penn sylvania, Maryland, and Virginia, the number of acres cultivated have been but sli g htl y if at all aug znented. But this year's crop, according to all ac counts, will yield probably one-fourth more bushels of wheat on the same number of acres than the soil pro duced six years ago. if we acknowledge these facts— and we see no grounds for contradiction—the above ag gregate of 114,500,000 bushels, or an increase over the yield of 1849 of but 22,000,000 bushels in the 14 States named, does not even approximate to the proba ble actual result. For instance, the estimated yield of Ohio is put down at 16,000,000, while an average crop in that State would be 22,000,000 of bushels ; and in Illinois, whence we have a report that the crop would be 25,000,000—which, however, we regard as altogether too high a figure—the table above allows only 13,000,000. In Nev York the increase over 1849 is put down at 1,879,000, while, in fact, it will not fall ntuch short of being 3,000,000 bushels greater than the, comparative meagre yield of that year. We have 'prepared the following table after a great deal of calculation, which, we think, will be acknowledged, and will no doubt be found to be, a great deal nearer the actual aggregate of the wheat crop this year in the States named than that of our contemporary in Cincinnati :- 1849 1855 Bushels Wheat.

If we continue our figures for the balance of the States and territories we shall be able to form some estimate of the entire crop of the country. We put them down as follows : Arkansas California 1849 1855 Bushels Wheat. .... 199,000 300,000 17,000 150,000 District of Columbia Connecticut Delaware Florids Georgia 17,000 20,000 41,000 50,0'0 482,000 550,000 1,000 2,000 1,088,000 1,200,000 Louisiana — Maine 296,000 400,000 Massachusetts Mississippi New Hampshire New Jersey 1,601,000 2,000,000 North Carolina 2,130,000 2,500,000 Rhode Island South Carolina , Texas Vermont Minnesota ...1,066,000 1,20 ',OOO ... 41,000 100,000 .. 535,000 650,000 .. 1,000 500,000 .. 196,000 400,000 211,000 107,000 500,000 500,000 200,000 200;000 New Mexico .

The value of the wheat crop in that year is ,Put down in the census report at 100,000,000 dole. If we value the present crop at 11 dols. a bushel—which will probably be its average price—it will be worth an aggre. gate of more than 210,500,000 dole. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) , HAY MARKETS.
