STRICTURE of the URETHRA : its Rational Treatment and Prompt Cure. By F. B. COURTENAY, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. "We believe Mr. Conrfeney's eiperlencain the treatment of stric ture during the last twenty years has equalled, if, indeed, it has not surpassed, that of any of his contemporaries. it is, therefore, no matter of surprise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a most dexterous and skilfal manipulator with urethral instruments ; and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of gratification on Mr. Courtenay's part. to have achieved the reputation he has in this respect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have of his experiende, we know of no man to whose care wo would with greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture ofthe urethra.'.'--Meth cal Circular.

The waggon, which is light and simple in its construction, is capable of carrying 14 miles of wire and the tools required by the workmen. The only defect ap pears to be in the wheels being fastened with a common linch-pin, which any mischievous person might easily remove and render the vehicle useless.

(Prong the Times of this day. ) It is lather a remarkable revelation to be made without any reserve, or misgiving, that there exists in the Cabinet which is wholly responsible for the continuance of the war a Minister of great consideration who thinks it unnecessary. That is the fact. Not deterred by his rebuff,the other evening Mr. Gibson last night renewed his efforts to probe the great mystery of the Vienna negotiatisons. This is not the first time, nor the second time, nor even the third time that, after a due bombardment of questions and insinuations, an attempt has been made to assault the rampart of official reserve, and get at the reason why Lord John left Vienna so abruptly, and how it came to pass that the Austrian Minister, and others as well informed, confidently stated that Lord John was ready to make peace, as some said, on any terms ; at least on terms that Austria would agree to. s It comes out, that the English and French Plenipotentiaries were agreed, and that they returned home to recommend to their Govern ments the acceptance of the Austrian proposition ; that M Drouyn de l'Huys, on finding he had not the concurrence of his Government, resigned ; that this want of concurrence was owing, not to the independent opinion of the French Em peror and his advisers, but to the dissent of the British Government ; and that, notwithstanding that dis sent and the , consequent retirement of the French Plenipotentiary, Lord John Russell has thought it best to devour his' differences in silence, and to assist his colleagues in carrying on a war which he believes to be wholly gratui tous, and involving the nation in the guilt of causeless blood shed. All this was rumoured, not only here, but through out Europe, Reasons were even assigned. Some said that Lord John had been seduced by the hearty and good-natured tone of thc Russian Plenipotentiary; others, that he had learned more than 'he chose to toll, including some vision of danger from some quarter or other to the country ; in fact, that he had " seen a wolf,i' and that his very silence was portentous. It was then stated very confidently that when he resumed his place in the Cabinet he made, such a case that he won over several of his colleagues to his view of the sub ject ; that the Cabinet was therefore divided into a peace party and a war party ; that the war party carried the day, and that Lord John Russell, conceiving that he would be no body, and would do no good ant of the Cabinet, resolved to forget his advice and the whole chapter of his unsuccessful diplomacy, and hold on with Lord Palmerston. We ven tured to intimate ourselves that the case was very much as we have stated it. Yet, when the opportunity occurred, and the special invitation came, to give Parliament a full ac count of the failure of the Conferences, and Lord John Russell's own part in it, his lordship flew off into some safe historical declamation about the immense power, dangerous position, and overweening ambition of Russia, the general effect of which was that he was quite as much heart and soul in the war as any of his colleagues. As might be expected, we came off ourselves rather ill. We were charged with hav ing imagined a dissension between Lord John and his col leagues, with having fabricated a peace party, all out of spite either to Lord John, or to somebody, or to everybody ; In deed, we have seldom had so much abuse as for this one false and malicious statement—viz., that Lord John Russell had come back from Vienna with an Austrian proposition for peace, and had strongly urged his colleagues to agree to it, but that they ad refd. After a silence of we know not how many weeks, so long and so profound that really Lord John and his Conferences had almost come to be forgotten in the gravity of passing events, all of a sud den last night, on Mr. Gibson's mere interrogatory, Lord John made a clean breast, telling everything with the simplicity of a child. It was per fectly true that he had acquiesced in the Austrian pro position, and expressed an opinion in private to the Austrian Minister that it afforded a means of carrying out the third point as satisfactory to the interests of Europe as to the honour of Russia. It was quite true that M. Drouyn de l'Huys had agreed with him. It was true that ke had remaine d of the same o p inion still, and to this day tfiinks we are lavishing our blood and our treasure without any necessity for it. It is also true that there was good precedent for withdrawing in such a ease—the case, viz., of a decided difference of opinion with the Cabinet on the most important question, not of the day, but of the century. Was there ever anything more ingenuous 9 If the position in which his lordship now stands be not quite accountable on theacommon notions of consistency, constitutional propriety, and even personal honour, still there can be no doubt as to the facts of the case. We now know all about it. Mr. Gibson has broken the mystery, and captured the fortress, by the simple expedient of walking right into it. On the former oc eassion Lord John was evidently in no hum'our to give satis faction, and preferred to raise a cloud of dust about Russian aggressions, or anything whatever.. On this occasion he has been so prompt, so explicit, and so natural as even to . suggest the ider, which, of course, has no foundation in fact had , that he was not only prepared for the question, but even contrived it, in his fear that more delay would occur, and that Parliament would separate before he had had the opportunity of informing the world that ho stood in precisely the same position as M. Drouyn de l'Huys, ex cepting only that the Frenchman had retired from office, and the Englishman had not. Well, this is, to say the least, a very odd story. There are not many men in England, we had said in the world, who could stand up and tell it with Lord John Russell's matchless composure. " Evil be to him that thinks evil." No doubt Lord John is an honourable man ; so long as he is satisfied he is acting for the best, and doing his country more service by staying in the Cabinet than by " hanging out" anywhere else, and knocking about among the various nondescript Oppostz tions, his lordship must be considered the best judge of his own conduct. At the same time we could wish that his lord ship had just dropped a syllable to save our ownhumble selves from the charge of lying and slandering, profusely heaped upon us when we spoke of the peace and war party in the Cabinet, and said that Lord John had brought and recom mended overtures of peace from th Vienna. There his is, to oo d , an other unfortunate malapropos in e time w lship has selected for his hardy confession. It is much the same as what happened at Christmas. On that occasion, after keeping to himself, or at least from the world, for three-quarters of a year, his objections to the imperfect state of the War Ministry, and his distrust of the hands in which it was placed, he found himself at last obliged to speak out at t he very mo ment when the Govern ment was on the eve of dissolution under the storm of public disgust at the mismanageme nt of the war. As nothing can be more disagreeable to a generousnation than to desert friends in the hour of peril and disaster, so his lordship was truly un fortunate in having put off a good intention till it assumed the appearance of that equivocal act. In the present instance it so happens that we have had, till just now, a run of suc cesses, or something like it, ever since Lord John returned from Vienna ; FO decided, indeed, at first, that certainly a proposition to make peace with Russia on the Austrian terms would have sounded very ridiculous. The restored health and increased numbers of the allied armies, the arrival of the Sas dinian contingent, the improved condi tion of the camp and the hospitals, the constant repulse of the Russian sorties, the capture of the Mamelon, the occupa tion of the Sea of Azoff, 'and the prospect of cutting off the Russian supplies —all kept up a state of confidence, in which it would have been an act of uncommon courage to explain what Lord John did last night. The scene has now unhap pily changed. We are experiencing the dark side of war. There is, therefore, now no rashness, no courage, in the con fession of peaceful wishes, and of an inward dissatisfaction with the war. Most heartily do we condole with Lord John ou the delay which has timed his explanation at so ungracious an hour. But, as truth is always desirable, and better late than never, we will still beg to thank his lordship for a state ment which the British public, and indeed all Europe, had certainly some right to be in possession of, and which is also - Le our own vindication. THE HYDE-PARK RIOTS'. The Home Secretary has undertaken that there shall be a full and searching inquiry into the conduct of the police last Sunday. We have net been very profuSe of praise to the Go vernment for their previous conduct in this matter, yet it is, but reasonable to admit that they have at.last done all that could be expected from them. They have, at any rate, secured to themselves the support of the respectable inhabi tants of the metropolis, in case of any disturbance. As long as fair redress was denied the peeple for the very outrageous conduct of the police on Sunday last our sympathies were en tirely with them.. There is, hewever,,no use in referring to the past, save in. so far as it may bear upon. coming events. If we thought that •any juggle or double mean ing lay hidden. under the eassurance of Sir George Grey we should at once denounce his professions, and recom mend our, fellow-subjects to pursue any course which might , seem to offer a more reasonable prospect of success. But we' do believe, on the contrary, that the Home Secretary is in earnest. He would be socially and politically lost, as a gen tleman and a statesman, if he attempted to deceive the public, after the promise which he made last night in the House of, Commons, H4C it is in his own words, that they may be brought up in judgment against him, if,,contrary to our most sincere expectations, he should fall short of his professions. " I propose said Sir GeOrge Grey, "No mere formal inquiry, but a full and Searching in quiry into the allegations that have been made tome with regard to the conduct of the police last Sunday. The lion. gentleman (Mr. Duncombe) assumes that this inquiry will be conducted by the Commissioners of Pglice. Such an in quiry is not Within my contemplation. . . - . I assure the house and the public that tho comn%sion which I now propose to appoint shall be one that'sltateffeet au efficient and impartial inquiry." • What more is. to-be eiiicl ? man bas a - reasonable complaint against the police for their conduct on last Sunday, let him make it at once before this commission. If his evi denee be treated with indifference, or wrested from its true intent, the ordinary channels of publicity are not denied to him. We, at least, will willingly pledge ourselves to give every assistance to persons who may be denied the opportu nity of stating their grievances fully and fairly before the com mission. The idea of mystification in a case of this kind can scarcely be entertained, and we entreat our friends out of doers to believe that on this oc 3asion, at least, the Govern ment is in earnest. Herein lay the fallacy, and the mischievous tendency of Mr. T. Duncombe's speeches last night. He repeated over and over again to the house that the people on Sunday last were very much ill-used by the police. We fear it was so ; but, at any rate, there could be no good motive, save one of aggravation, for insisting upon the point so earnestly in the face of a promise of redress. But it was Mr. Duncombe's cue to treat this promise as a fallacy, and to have it believed that Sir G. Grey. deliberately intended to de ceive this people. What would Mr. Duncombe have ? It was impossible that the Home Secretary should do more last night than promise the inquiry ; whether ho be a true man or a false knave may, of course, with Mr. Duncombe rL main a subject of question, but it is most positive that he could do nothing more than engage his honour to set the in quiry on foot. Under these circumstances, if the interests of the people, and not mere senseless agitation, wore Mr. Duncombe's object, it became his duty to allay, not to in crease, popular irritation. The whole tenour of his ad dresses last night to the house, or rather to the populace through the house, however, was to exasperate the people up to the point of attempting some act of violence next Sunday; and for this ho deserves severe reprehension (from every peaceable subject of the Oueen. We will not endure that the humblest of our fellow-subjects shall be treated with violence and insult by any public servant, but neither do we desire to see mob-law triumphant. Mr. T. Duncombe should consider that in such a path as the one along which he is urging thousands of his humbler fellow-subjects to tread the law must be too strong for the people, or the people for the law. Which end does he desire to attain But, if Mr. T. Duncombe's harangues were factious and mischievous, what shall we say to the more frantic sugges tions of Mr. G. Dundas—suggestions for which the only ex cuse can be, that they were uttered in a moment of passing frenzy ? Mr. G. bundas reminded Sir G. Grey that preven tion was better than cure, " and that nothing would frighten a mob more than the crash upon the pavement of the trail of a six-pounder." The crowd last Sunday was composed of " rascally boys" and canaille. In the name of all that is magnificent, what is Mr. G. Duudas, whose first idea is to blow his fellow-subjects to atoms, and then to call them by vile names? Six-pounders, quotha !—and where would Mr. Dundas and his fellows be six hours after his six-pounders were brought into play? The best thing that can be said in his favour is that ho acknowledged at a later period of the evening that he had spoken not as Kiug Solomon would have spoken, withdrew his artillery, and retired into private life. Once more we would entreat of our fellow-subjects and fel low-townsmen not to meddle to-morrow with demonstrations which can serve no useful purpose, but which may injuriously affect their cause, by inspirinc, alarm in the minds of peace able persons. If the promised' commission should prove an imposture it will be time enough to bring the Home Secretary to his senses.—Times. LAW INTELLIGENCE. -- (THIS DAY.) QUEEN'S BENCH.-GUILDHALL. (Before Lord Campbell and a Special Jury.) TEMPERLEY V. LEARY. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover possession of 23 horses, valued at 3871., under the fol lowing circumstances :—ln May last a person named Catley was carrying on business at Stanton-wharf, Toeley -street, as a coal merchant, and was in debted to a Mr. Leary in the sum of 1601. Leary proceeded against . him . for the recovery of his debt,_ and obtained judgment and execution, in ac cordance with which the sheriff of Middlesex seized the horses in question, The horses were then claimed by Christopher Karr Temperley and afterwards by his bro ther, the present plaintiff, who stated he purchased them of his father, who managed Catley's business, and paid for them by bills of exchange. The questions for the consideration of the jury were, whether the father had authority to sell the horses, and if so was the sale a bone fide one. ' _ The jury returned a -verdict for the defendant. THE QUEEN V. HANCOCK AND OTHERS. This was an action for an alleged infringement of a patent relative to the manufacture of india rubber, but of no public interest. The hearing of the case is likely to occupy the attention of the court for several days. THE COUNTESS IVA LE TYSKA. The feelings of regret which were created in the fashion abluociety of Loudon by the departure of the Count Walew ska and the Countess Waiewska frour Fatgland, have just been expressed to the countess in a manner as flattering as it is almost unexampled. A great number of her English friends, and particularly ladies, among whom are to be found the names of the most illustrious of the British aristocracy, have united in order to offer to the late ambassadress of France a memorial of the durable souvenir which her proverbial grace and affability have left in London. On Tuesday last the Countess of Shelburne presented to the Countess Walewska at Paris, in name of the donors, a magnificent emerald bracelet, sent from London, and bearing the following words as an inscription :—" Temoignage de souvenir et de regret." To this bracelet was added an elegant little book, -containing the signatures of the givers, to the number of nearly a hundred persons, with these lines : " Presented to the Countess Walewsks by her English friends, as an expression of their sincere regard for her, and of the deep regret they feel at her departure from this country."

THE HANG° AFFAIR. The following is a translation from the French in the Journal de St. Petersbourg of the letter addressed by Admiral Dundas to the Commander-in-Chief of the Rus sian troops at Helsingfors : "On board her Majesty's ship Duke of Wellington, off Seskar , June 15. " Sir,—l take advantage of the first opportunity to com municate with you respecting what I have just learnt from the commander of her Majesty's ship Cossack. He complains to me that the officers and crew of one of the Cossack's boats, while landing with a flag of truce with the intention of put ting on shore some Russian subjects, whom we did not wish to retain prisoners, having captured them on board some coasting vessels which the cruisers under my orders had taken and destroyed, were cruelly put to death ou the 45th inst. at Hango-Udde by the troops stationed there. " The Cossack arrived there with the said intention on the morning of the sth, and kept at a distance of from two to . three miles from tbe landing-place. The boat was sent from the vessel at that distance, and pulled for the shore with three officers and 13 other persons, besides the prisoners they wished to liberate. The flag of true was not hoisted on the prnw of the boat until she was within a mile of the coast. From the investigations I have made, I have every reason to beli3ve that care was taken that the flag should be distinctly visible. In such manner the officer in charge of the boat approached the shore. The troops on shore made no signal nor any ob jection until he neared the landing place. Finding no one there authorised to communicate with him, he thought he might land, never ceasii,g to display the flag of true, of which he himself was the bearer. The prisoners, who were to Le set at liberty commenced removing their things on shore ; in this they were assisted by some of the sailors, who landed for the purpose, but without arms. " I may add that all the arms of the crew were placed at the bottom of the boat. Thus situated they were suddenly surprised by a superior armed force, which rushed upon them from the houses in the neighbourhood, and attacked them indiscriminately. Our men did what they could to explain the object of their mission, and offered no resistance, tongue i aun r nsgsu s pa e cn s r question. i i resistance n ece l i e eii. : s. k ,,s n: ue o n den w n i e ess r i m s.tseot y g do s u oh e c ,i l ai h n f v et j c th ) hb o i :s . . e c i e u t En i t i n v nwa e s go l b t l y a li ; a l h t a e l t e : g s l t elgVopgatnleisyaess:ioeo:cf calling tuahhniconecfigsßitthihlissece attention to the flag of truce, which he refused to recog nise, A fire of musketry was opened uppn the indict I've crew of the boat, and upon the prisoners we had come to set at liberty. Wound after wound was inflicted upon them in the most cruel and savage manner. The firin7 continued until all were killed, or supposed to be so. One man only, severely wounded, and who was thought dead, succeeded in making his escape on board the boat, when a few hours after wards he was picked up by the vessel. Four of the crew were found dead in the bottom of the boat. " Their wounds prove that they must have been fired at more than once, which fact is confirmed by the testimony of the survivor. " I have only to add that the entire crew of the boat might have been made prisoners without difficulty, and that the murderous attack of which I complain was in no wise pro voked, and not at all necessary. "In calling your attention to these facts I hope I shall not be making a vain appeal to your honour as an officer to give me such explanations as you may deem suitable under the actual circumstances, and I am happy to take advantage of this circumstance to afford you the means of defending the character of your flag. " It is to the parents only of the unhappy victims of this affair that any reparation can now be made, and it would be a certain consolation for them to know with certainty either that all arc dead, or that, if there are survivors, there is hope that they will recover from their wounds. " I send you, therefore, annexed, a list of officers and sailors supposed to have been killed, and I shall feel grateful to you for any information you can give me respecting this unhappy affair. " I have the honour to remain, &c., " R. DIINDAS, "Rear-Admiral, Commander-in-Chief of her Britannic Majesty's Squadron in the Baltic," NEW REGULATIONS FOR CLOT RING AND ACCOUTRING THE ARMY.

We regret to have to record the death of the Marquis of Thomond, G.C.H., which took place on Tuesday last at his residence in Bath, in which city he had resided for many years. The deceased James O'Bryen, Marquis of Thomond, Earl and Baron of Inchiquin, and Baron Burren, county of Clare, in the peerage of Ireland ; also Baron Tadcaster, of Tadcaster, county of York, in the peerage of the united kingdom, was second son of Mr. Edward O'Bryen, brother of the first Marquis of Thomond. He entered the navy at an early age, and had been 72 years in the service, having entered the navy in 1783. During the wars at the close of the last century and at the commencement of the present he saw considerable service, and he commanded the Esmerald at the capture of St. Lucia and Surinam. The noble Marquis (then Lord James O'Bryen) was nominated a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Hanoverian Guelphic Order on the 13th o f May, 1831, and was the Senior Knight of that Order. The late Marquis's commissions bore date as follows : —Lieu tenant, November 19, 1790 ; Commander, December 5, 1796 ; Captain, December 14, 1799 ; Rear-Admiral, May 27, 1825 ; Vice-Admiral, January 10, 1837 ; and Admiral, May 13, 1847. We have to record the death of Rear-Admiral Harper, which took place on Tuesday, the 3d inst., at his residence near Guildford, Surrey. The gallant Admiral, who had at tained the advanced age of 83 years, the midshipman of the Boyne, at the capture of Martinique, in 1794 ; when lieute nant of the Avenger, cut out a privateer of 10 guns from the Carenage in a boat of that sloop ; served on shore at the re duction of Guadaloupc ; was lieutenant of the Defence in Lord Hotham's action, and at the Nile. While senior of the Star sloop, with two of her boats captured a lugger privateer, and in the Excellent assisted at the defence of Rosas in 1807, and the destruction of a convoy at Douin in 1809. He com manded the Saracen in the Adriatic ; he captured the islands of Zapano, Mezzo, St. George, and Stagno ; distinguished himself at the taking of Cattaro, Ragusa, and on various other occasions. A telegraphic despatch received in Paris announces the death of one of the bravest officers in the Sardinian army, the Marquis Victor de Saint-Marsan-Carail, grand son of the French ambassador at Berlin under the em pire, and son of the first equerry of the Emperor Napo leon I. He has been killed under the walls of Sebasto pol in the midst of the French troops, having been named Royal Piedmontese Commissioner to the camp of Gene ral Pelissier. The Marquis had been first aide-de-camp to the Duke of Genoa, and had distingoished himself by bis courage and coolness at Saint Lucie and at the battle of Novara. The Duke of Genoa, on his deathbed, be queathed to the Marquis his sword as a mark of his esteem and admiration. THE NEW FRENCH LOAN. The President of the Chamber, in presenting a report on the bill relative to the loan. of 750,000,000 f., .said : " Gentlemen;—Your Committee assembled immedi ately after its nomination, in urder to enable you to reply as promptly as possible, to the appeal which had been made to you, and to prove, once more, that the public powers will always show themselves in presence of the enemies of France, united in their devotedness to the sovereign and to the interests of the country. Bet your Committee has thought that an adhesion seriously reflected on would be still more honourable and more flattering for the Government, than a blind and enthusiastic sentiment, and it thought it its duty to proceed to a conscientious examination of the present financial aqd political state of affairs. During the last six months facts have taken place which have been the object of great pre-occupation in the public mind, and without going beyond the limit of its attri butions, the committee has thought that it might ex amine some of these facts by itself, and demand on the subject of some others explanations from the organs of the Government. Since the last session, conferences have taken place-on the general bases . ; adopted in principle, by all the contracting Powers, and which appeared calculated to lead to peace ; these conferences, how ever, have only led to the continuation of hostilities. Has too much jealousy of the honour of the country been shown, or has its permanent interest been sacri ficed to an exaggerated susceptibility ? These were certainly questions which it was elle rmt and our duty to ask, but every one of us is convince t the Eiilperor has replied to them beforehand by one of those clear and simple statements by which he is in the habit of laying before the whole country the diplomatic and military conduct of his affairs. It is evident that a prudent Government should, above all things, think of the result ot, its acts. Certainly, peace would have rejoiced every heart, labour would have again received the greatest impulse, families would have again had the happiness of seeing their children ; but these first feelings past, if that peace had not been honourable, if such great sacrifices had only ob tained moderate results and doubtful guarantees, na tional susceptibility would soon have reacted, and li our humiliated arms would have demanded an ac count from diplomacy for all the bloqd which had been shed. We are therefore confident that the Em pOror is as jealous of the honour of France as he is the careful guardian of her interests, and that with the aid of Providence, which seconds him, he will find a solution which may satisfy at the same time the legitimate pride of the country and restore to Europe a durable peace. Your committee has also wished to inquire into the financial state of affairs, and it eagerly renders to you an account of the information which the President of the Council of State had com municated to it in the name of the Government. It feels the more happiness in transmitting it to you, as, sharing in the uneasiness expressed in some of the bureaux, it thought that a part of the new loan was al rea ly absorbed, and although it well knew that your pa triotism would not hesitate at any sacrifice, it saw in per spective with a certain degree of-apprehension the neces sity of a fresh loan at the commencement of the next year. This is what has been affirmed to us :—Of the last loan there remains a little more than 100,000,000 to be re ceived. These 100,000,000, although not yet expended, are destined to meet expenses which have been incurred, and which will carry on the war until about the month of October. No part of the 750,000,000 which is now demanded has as yet been touched ; in short, to express the thing more clearly, if the war should be stopped suddenly the new loan would be uneu cessary, and ac cording to the calculations of the Government, these 750,000,000 must largely suffice to the end of 1855 and the whole of 1856 for all the wants of the Depart ments of War and the Navy. Your committee has carried its questions still further ; it has wished to know whether among the foreseen expenses was included the supply of our arsenals and the reconstitution of our ' materiel which the war has exhausted. The Presi dent of the Council of State has declared to us in the most positive manner that the Ministers of War and Marine had included in their calculations the supply of the arsenals, as well as the renewal of all the necessary materiel. It is not necessary to tell you with what lively satisfaction that declaration was re ceived by your committee, and we have no doubt that the Chamber and the country will learn these details with a deep feeling of faith in the future. When the former loan was brought forward, I bad the honour of observing to you, in my report at that pericd, that `the committee was convinced that the loan would be filled up with even greater enthusiasm than the first one,' hut we were far • from thinking that a sub scription of more than two milliards would be given. That success we have a right "'again to hope for, first, because the country has confidence in a Govern ment of which the basis is universal suffrage, whose principles are just and humane, and to whom the country feels it is indebted for the change effected in its situation abroad ; next, on account of the system adopted, the plan of a loan being the least onerous, inas much as it knocks at the door of him who possesses, in place of weighing indiscriminately like taxation, on every one, even on him who has only just enough to provide for his daily wants ; and, lastly, in th e mo d e o f e ff ec ti ng the loan, which has been made a national affair. In our last report gentlemen, we said that there was not any sacrifice that ought not to be made to enable the Emperor to continue his care and solicitude for our soldiers, and that reason still subsists in all its force. That valiant army, so perfectly disciplined in a foreign land, so resigned in the midst of so many privations, so brave in the midst of dangers, will always find in a French Chamber the tribute of admiration and the proofs of sympathy that are its due, as well as the funds which it may require. To sum up—from all these considerations, your commit tee charges me, unanimously, to propose to you to adopt the bill." The address was received with loud acclamations at various passages. THE "SIX-POUNDERS" SPEECH OF LAST NIGHT. Mr. G. Dundas—one of the name of the Admiral who did not deal too severely with the Russians either with six or sixty-eight pounders—recommended last night, in the house of Commons, a few six-pounders to tranquillise the mob next Sunday. He also called those who were in the Park last Sunday, canaille. The six•pounders should be hung round the legs of the man who could degrade the House of Commons by making such a proposition, and he do penance with them, had we our will, in Hyde-Park, exposed to the derision of the populace. Let Mr. Dundas and all who applaud or excuse his sentiments beware. Tile angry paSSions of the people are already sufficiently aroused. The friends and supporters of the Sunday Trading Bill have, it is true, yielded, and we leave them to repent at leisure of the storm which they have excited, the ill-feeling they have aroused, the injustice they have caused, the injuries that have been inflicted, and the blood that may still be shed. The original exciting cause of the demonstra tion is at an end, and we may safely assert that— but for the incomparable folly in letting loose a police force, trained in tyranny and drilled in false swear ing and the use of the truncheon, upon an unoffending and well-disposed assemblage of Englishmen and Eng- lishwomen—no harm would have accrued or mischief have been done. Now, how does the matter stand I None can tell whether or not London may not be under mar tial law, or no law at all, next Monday. Much—nay, all —depends upon the good rinse and discretion of authorities. We most sincerelyhope that they will refrain from sending a policeman into the Park on Sunday, and leave the people to themselves. In such case, we venture to say that the citizens will possibly exercise their lungs a little, and then disperse quietly. No gates should be shut, and nothing done. A calm, sensible, and tempe rate proclamation might be posted to-day stating that the cause of the demonstration is removed, and that for the rest justice will be done. As for Mr. Dundas, we cannot trust ourselves to add to Mr. Roebuck's remarks, further than to say, that canaille have ere now taught a lesson to canaille infinitely baser than themselves. Where, in the name of Haynau and Bomba, was this gentleman "raised ?" Was it in Naples, Austria, Kafir land, the Feejee Islands, or Hango-rdde ?—Morning Advertiser. ICE FOR THE CRIMEA.—It has suggested itself to some enterprising shipping houses in the city, amongst others the Messrs. H. J. Smith, Crane and Co., of 30, Great St. Helen's, that as daily advices state how much ice is needed in the Crimea, it would be yet more ac ceptable about that period which a vessel despatched at once from London would get out to Balakla,va. With this object, particulars of the quantity sufficient to supply the army, and to sell the ice there at a price mo derate even here, has been obtained from the Wenham Lake Ice Company, and a provisional agreement for its due supply, entered into with that well-known firm. The Messrs. Smith, Crane, and Co., and others, have made the affair a semi-commercial matter, and seek a few shareholders of 1001. each, to complete the sum of 3,5001., which, it is calculated, after making due allow nvoitiee ance for extraordinary expenses and waste, will le:ye. e very handsome profit. Setting aside the n ovelty .f the speculation, there is so much of pure usef ul b a eitanmade elements that we cheerfully give the fact° Publicity as f Il e s o t w e r i . n d g a y they have been made known to us.

Under the sunshine and shower of the last three weeks the hay crop has made marked improvement. The farmers say that except on very , light grounds they expect to have a fair average crop. Potatoes are looking remarkably well.—Norteßritisk Daily Mail. _ GIIEENOCK.—There certainly could not be fitter weather for forwarding the crops than that which we have enjoyed for the last week. It is the opinion of men well skilled in such matters that we shall not suf fer at all from the late spring. The crops everywhere look most vigorous. On every arrival of the Dublin steamer we have ample evidence of the forward state of vegetation cn the other side of the Channel. Im mense crates and other packages of vegetables crowd the deck on their way to the Glasgow market, while not a small quantity of these are landed for our local market. To supplement this supply the gardens cf our own growers are looking full and luxuriant, and an extensive strawberry grower in the neighbourhood,. who largely supplies the Glasgow market, expects to open that trade during the present We have had another week of warm, dry, and de lightful weather, varied by occasional refreshing rains. Saturday was somewhat cold, but yesterday opened with a shower, and afterwards broke into a day of sun shine. The change in the appearance of the country.in the last fortnight is quite mb,gical. The crops, both white and green, give most satisfactory promise, and are rapidly making up the leeway caused by the backward spring. On warm and early soils the wheat is in ear, but as yet this is the exception in the west country. •The general accounts from England and Ireland as to harvest prospects are of the most pleasing kind.—Glas gow Herald. FARINGDON.—The bay harvest has now become gene ral in this neighbourhood, and with a continuance of fine,weather much good hay will be made. Except on some of the light soils the crop will be aMr one.— Berkshire Chronicle. For several days the weather has been all that the most anxious agriculturist could desire—a hot forcing sun hastening the ripening process, and the absence of those storms which frequently affect harvest prospects and the farmers' gains. The reports of the crops are extremely conflicting. On some situations they are most promising, both of wheat and barley ; on others a thin and scanty plant is observable. The general conclusion from a wide range of observation is, that the result will be a good, if not an abundant, yield ; but it is too early to be confident, and the present state of the weather has hardly had time to produce great effects. Potatoes and vegetables generally are backward, snarce, and dear; but there will soon be a plentiful quantity.—lbid. Summer has at last set in with "unusual severity," and East Indian clothing and cooling drinks are in universal demand. During the whole of the week the sun has shone forth in true midsummer splendour, and the nights have been deliciously mild and moonlight, for the imaginative to walk abroad and watch the trial for the mastery between the pale rays of the scarcely-con cealed sun-in the northern horizon and the bright moon in the south, soon to be unmistakeably decided by the glorious dawn of another long summer day. The crops, from all we hear, are looking extremely strong and pro mising. The wheat is in most places coming into ear, and the scent of newly-mown hay in many a field greets the sense with its familiar sweetness.—Gloucester Journal. THE BRITISH BARQUE ASHLEY DESTROYED BY FIRF. —SOUTHAMPTON, July 6.—lntelligence has been receiv& d at this port, by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Euxine, of the total destruction by fire of the British barque Ashley, of Bristol, which put into Gil raltar Bay on the 24th ult., from Liverpool, with about 800 tons of coal on board, for Constantinople. The ves sel was discovered to be on fire at four in the morning of the 30th ult., and every means was immediately used to extinguish the flames. About half-past five the alarm guns from the upper signal station were fired, but al though assistance was plentiful and most promptly ren dered, it was without the slighteq favourable result. Finding that from the rapidity with which the flames extended all hopes of saving the vessel were lost, the Government steam-tug took her in tow and grounded her beyond the Quarantine anchorage, where she was shortly afterwards scuttled. The vessel was burnt to the water's edge. PUBLIC PETITIONS.—The 50th report, issued on Wed nesday, includes 1,587 petitions for the abolition of church -rates, signed by 148,339 persons ; 279 in favour of the Marriage Law Amendment Bill, signed by 74,403 persons ; 1,681 for the repeal of the Maynooth Endow ment Act, signed by 308,108 persons ; 70 against the (now defunct) Sunday Trading Bill of Lord 11.

FATAL EXPLOSION OF FIRE-DAMP.—The Cumberland Pacquct reports a fatal explosion of fire-damp, which took place last Thursday, in a portion of the workings of Croft-pit Colliery, belonging to the Earl of Lansdale. Five lives were lost. The jury found that the accident was caused through a door having been improperly left open, by which the proper ventilation was impeded, but to whom the irregularity in question was due there was no evidence to prove. BOMBAY AND BARODA RAILWAY.—Copies of minutes and correspondence relative to the progress of railway undertakings in India, have just been laid before the House of Commons. It appears from this return that his Excellency the Earl of Dalhousie, the Governor-General of India has strongly recommended to the Government of India the line proposed by Lieutenant-Colonel Ken nedy, from Bombay to Baroda. His Excellency trusts that the Court will not hesitate to sanction the entire section from Bombay to Baroda. . It also appears that the whole of the members of the Court ate favourable to the project. These facts will prove highly gratifying to the shareholders. The company is now completely re gistered.—Herapatle s Journal. THE DECIMAL ASSOCIATION AND THE PREMIER.— Yesterday morning, a numerous deputation from the Decimal Association, including about a dozen members of Parliament and several leading men in the commercial and banking circles, attended by appointment at the Prime Minister's official residence, in Downini.,sstreet, for the purpose of stating their views as to what course should be taken to give effect to the resolutions of the House of Commons, carried on the 12th ult. by 135 to 56, declaring that " the initiation of the decimal system of coinage by the issue of the florin has been eminently successful and satisfactory," and that its " further extension will be of great public advan tage." The hour originally fixed for the interview being twelve o'clock, many gentlemen were in attendance before it arrived ; but it ultimately appeared that there had been a subsequent appointment for half-past twelve, and shortly before that time about forty gentlemen had assembled in a room in which it' was supposed the inter view was to take place. Here the deputation waited till a quarter past one without seeing the Premier, or receiving any message from him. Their patience being then exhausted—indeed, several had already left—after some discussion it was determined to retire ; Mr, W. Brown, M.P., having previously undertaken to see Lord Palmerston, and endeavour to obtain another ap pointment, and at the same time to express the disap pointment of those who had en that occasion attended in vain. NEWS FROM EUROPE IN SIX DAYS.—The New York, Newfoundland, and London Telegraph Company have made a contract with Messrs. Husted and Kroehl, sub marine engineers, of this city, to remove the Merlin Rock, lying in the centre of the entrance to the harbour of St. John's, Newfoundland, which is the only obstruc• tion to the entrance of the Collins and other large steamers into that port. There is now eighteen feet of water upon the rock at low tide ' • but as the Coll i ns steamers draw twenty-three feet of water when loaded, the Telegraph Company have contracted to reduce the Merlin Rock to twenty-seven feet below mean low water. When this obstacle is removed, it is probable that m ost of the European steamers will make St. John's a sto P•• ping.pla.ce, as it lies directly on their route , and about one-third of the distance from New York J oh n,se__e, so that a steamer from Europe, at St. ew -; Fork fwoiutnhdinlasnidx, daysmay h f a r v o e m he t r h n s e d w a s t t e el o r h a e p i !ie d d ep te ar l s t T ure Liverpool.—New York.

Nevertheless there is not much confidence felt here in the strength of the resistance that could be made, and it is not considered by any means impregnable, particularly since the affair of Kertch." A letter from Frankfort of the 30th ult. says : " We were surprised to learn that Baron de Bru now, formerly minister of Russia at London, was appointed as envoy extraordinary to the Ger manic Confederation. The choice of so distin guished a diplomatist for such a post as that of Frankfort shows how great a value the cabi net of St. Petersburg attaches to the maintenance and development of its relations with central Ger many. It is not yet certain that M. de Brunow will reside here, or whether, through deference for the grand ducal court, and its family relations with the new Empress of Russia, he may not go to fix himself at Darmstadt, which place is not more than half an hour's distance by railway from this city." o ---1 to 83s to 78s to —s to 31s to 490 trket.
