It seems that 1 ,800 - A u n t r e l l'all Government has still unpledged the R '''uf• of the Egyptian tribute, 2,500,000 f. of o f .t7,lllYrna Customs revenue and 2,000,000 francs ' L ' e B Yrian receipts.

C olonel KNOX again rose, and asked the Under- Sec rf:tary for War whether his attention bad been called to a paragrarh in the .'macs newspaper of-the 12th instant, to the effect that the invalid soldiers at el - mtbana are very much discontented at portions of their pay being withheld from them, and what steps the Government intended to take in the matter? Mr. PEEL replied that he WAS told the nuully.r of invalid soldiers at Chatham entitled to receive pay was very in.considcrable, as all the invalid 4 who had left Scutari hospital up to the Ist of April had their Lack pay settled without any difficulty. There was a diffi culty respectickr, those soldiers who -had left Scutati since that period, as the War-office was not in possession of the pay lists ; but the cases were being gradually disposed of, and the men were at the present time re ceiving- full pay. (Thar.) _ . sential to the proAperi ty of the company, and moved a re soln tion in conformity with tto notice convening the meeting. Mr. LACY seconded the motion, Mr. lI:MPS objected to the resolution, as comprce herlin! too much. It should be divided and put to the meeting separately under its various heads. Mr. TITE, M.P., suggested that, instead of discussing the question, the c'ea•rman should declare the number of pr , xies the board bad received in favour of the bill ; for, after all, the question must be decided by numbers. The Chairman said it was not usual to pursue such a course, but if it was the wish of the meeting he would do so. Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE objected, because the proxies had not yet been examined. Mr. HELPS condemned the holding a second Wham cliffe.order during the same session of Parliament for one object, and proceeded to defend his conduct and that of Mr. Dickinson in opposing the extension clauses of the bill. He moved as an amend ment :—" That this meeting protests against any at tempt to reverse the decision of the meeting held, in pursuance of the Wharneliffe standing order, on the 31st day of May last ; considering that the Wharncliffe standing order contemplates the holding of only • one meeting, and that the holding of a second meeting, on the same bill, in the same session of Parlia ment, and with a view to reverse the decision of the only meeting contemplated by the Wharncliffe standing order, is contrary to the letter, spirit, and meaning of that standing order, and subversive of the security which it is calculated to giye . to all property invested in joint-stock undertakings." Dr. MAYO seconded the amendment, and added that Mr. Baron Parke, in a conversation with him at the Athenaeum Club, deprecated the condUct of the directers - in holding the second meeting as unjust and unheard of. General AITCHISON suggested to the meeting the neces sity of unanimity in their proceedings, and that it would be better to - support the directors. • Mr. PUNCHARD condemned the general policy . _ , of the directors, and stated it' to be his intention to oppose everything proposed by them, and called on the meeting to follow his example that day. Mr. TirE, M.P., was opposed to extensions as much as any man—(oh) —for he could assure the meeting his stake in the company was too great t') make him indif ferent to a good dividend. He proceeded to argue that the position of the company from the pledge given was such that they must sooner or later construct this extension line, and he thought it had policy for them to fly in the face of the House of Lords and House of Commons, when they felt themselves morally iu the wrong in opposing it. (Cries of " No.") Mr. DICKINSON said he had never acknowledged any pledge had been given by the company for the construc tion of this extension, and read extracts from the evi dence given before the House of Commons, to show that it was au injudicious act of their late chairman that had been so misconstrued. Sir JOHN WALSH, M.P., wag not disposed to suc• comb so hastily to the orders of the House of Lords or House of4Commons, as Mr. Tite, believing those bodies did not thoroughly understand this question. Where there was a division of opinion between a large number of the shareholders and the Oireeters on any question, he thought the former should have an opportunity of stating their case fully before the House of Commons, which at present they did not possess. He should op pose the extension. Mr. HUTCHINGS, M.P., (director) suggested that, as the debate haei been on the whole question, the votes should be taken on the whale of the resolutions pro posed, and net seriatim. He complained of Sir J. Walsh opposing the bill at that meeting and abstaining from doing so on its third reading in the House of Com mons. The directors had been no party to the intro duction of the extension clauses in the bill, but they had been forced on theta in consequence of the pledge given, If they withdrew the bill the company would be placed in a very unfortunate and embarrassing posi tion from having the decision of a committee of the House of Lords and House of Commons against them. He was no extension man, but wished tp clear hinreelf with the House of Loris. The discontented share holders, having been heard by counsel before the House relative to the pledge, the committee having decided against them, he considered it was the duty of the pro. prietors to redeem it. Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE (director) said the Wham cliffs order had by their proceedings been made a nullity, and would give directors an opportunity of harassing and wearing out the shareholders., The Wharncliffe order, insteed of being a bulwark against the power of the directors, was no other than a snare and a delusion. He should vote for the amendment. He looked upon the committees of the Houses of Lords and Commons as incompetent tribunate for railway purposes. As to the proxies, he begged to say he knew not how many the directors had received, not being in the secret, but he should like to see how the staff would vote. He protested 'against 'the whole pro ceedings. Mr. FOSTER was of opinion the shareholders ought to submit to the requirement of Parliament, and supported the directors. The Hon. Mr. BUTLER called on the Hon. Mr. Scott to state how he gave the pledge. The Hon. Mr. SCOTT said he gave a pledge to make a single line with double Nvorks, Mlny persons had said he gave that pledge under coercion, but he had always denied it, and did so now. Had he done so it would have been unworthy of them on their part and also of himself. The committee said if he did not give a pledge the company should make a double line the bill would be thrown out. He replied the committee might take what course they pleased, but he felt satisfied that neither the committee nor the shareholders would give him much credit if he acceded to what the committee pressed him to do without consulting the shareholders. A letter was handed him to sign to which he objected, when it was altered, and he signed it relying on the temper of the shareholders as it was in the summer of 1853 that they would consent to the extension, and that it should be a double line ; at the August meeting fol- lowing his conduct was approved of. (No, no.) The Hon. Mr. BUTLER replied that the statement of the hon. gentleman had not removed from his mind that there was an amount of gentle pressure put on him when he signed the letter alluded to. The CHAIRMAN then put the amendment which he declared carried, by a majority of one. A poll was de manded and granted. The CHAIRMAN was about to put that part of his re• solution referring to the extension which was objected to by Mr. Helps, who contended that the resolutions shouldi be taken seriatim, and, as it was four o'clock, that the meeting should be adjourned for a week for the special purpose of fully discussing the question of exten sion. Mr. Serjeant GAZELER thought nothing would be gained by an adjournment. Some further discussion took place, and of that stir ring character peculiar to railway meetings, in the course of which it was suggested the bill should be withdrawn, and, that sufficient discussion had taken place. The adjournment was put and lost. Mr. DICKINSON then proposed an amendment, giving the directors power to raise one million of money for this extension, but met with so 'much opposition that he could not be heard in support of it. The CHAIRMAN said the million of money was asked for because it was optional which route they would take, leaving a choice of two. The coast line would cost about that sum, and the central 700,0001.. Mr. EiELPS then rose to address the meeting, amidst confusion and cries of "Divide,•" but was unable to obtain a hearing for some time. He said the object of Mr. Dickinson's amendment was, that if the company was bound by Mr. Scott's pledge it ought to adhere to the line and amount. Mr: DioxisisoN's amendment was put and lost, on which a poll was demanded and granted. Mr. THEOBALD moved an amendment. He had no wish to repudiate Mr. Scott's pledge, so far as the au thority of the company permitted it, and moved the solicitor be instructed to withdraw the bill. The CHAIRMAN declined to put the amendment. The original resolution of the directors in favour of extension was put arid carried. A pull was also demanded and granted. The CHAIRMAN announced the poll would be open on Saturday and IVlenday, and be declared on Tuesday. The meeting shortly after separated. The meeting, which was exceedingly numerous, was graced with the presence of a lady, a very unusual attendant at such places. THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.) ST. JAMES'S PALACE, JULY 13.

On the motion of Lord REDESDALE the following bills were read a third time and passed :—Bradford Cor poration Water ; Dublin, &.c., Roads (No. 2) ; Keighley and Kendal Road ; Earl of Abergavenny's Estate ; Liverpool Improvement ; Wadhurst and West Farleigh Roads ; Great Northern London Cemetery (Amend ments) ; Gateshead and Hexham Roads (Amendment) ; Portsmouth Railway (Amendment) ; Shrewsbury Im provement (Amendment) ; and East of Fife Railway. THE SEVERN VALLEY RAILWAY. Lord PORTMAN called the attention of the house to the proceedings of the select committee on the Severn Valley Railway Bill, with a view of showing that the select committee had by mistake committed a breach of the standing order of the house ill assenting to the in troduction of a particular clause. He thought the bill ought to be recommitted, or some other step be taken to render the bill in accordance with the standing order. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE, as chairman of the select committee, contended there was no infringement of the standing order in question, and instanced the case of the Salisbury and Yeovil Railway Bill and other cases as precedents for the course adopted by the select com mittee. The clause alluded to by the noble lord was one which he appeared to think was an amalgamation clause. He (the Marquis of Clanricarde) submitted that it could not be considered such a clause, but that it was one which simply provided for the repairs and manage ment of theyailway generally. If any attempt were made to fetes the clause referred to, the effect would be the throwing out of the bill for the present session ; this would be a great pity, inasmuch as the bill was one of a most iesportant character, and one in which the public were deeply interested. The E.srl of CARNARVON was of opinion that there had been st violation of the standing order in the present case. Lord RViDESDALE said that in his opinion the clause empowered an amalgamation or a lease from one railway comisany to another, and was therefore an eva sion of the s Landing orders. After the precedents that had been quo: (!d by the noble marquis opposite, he thought that under all the circumstances the report should be receiv ed. After a short (liscussion, it was arranged that the re port in its present stage should be received. VURKISH LOAN. Lord MONTEA GLE begged to ask a question of her Majesty's Governn sent with respect to the contract guaranteeing the Tu. -kish loan. The question he wished answered was, whet her England guaranteed the whole of five millions, and Foance also guaranteed the five millions, or whether ea ch nation jointly guaranteed the loan, namely, Englani 1 two millions and a-half, and France two millions an d a-half. Earl GRANVILLE stated that the 5,000,0001. loan to Turkey would be joi.utly guaranteed by the British and French Government.. although in fact England was responsible for the whole of it. This course had been adopted after the most serious consideration. SCHOOL GRANTS BILL. This bill was read a, third time and passed. LEDDURRY PREBEND BILL. This bill passed thro u t sh committee. BILLS OF EXCH.NNGE AND PROMISSARY NOTES BILL. On the motion of Lord BRO UGHAM, this bill was read a second time. DWELLING-HOVSES (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the motion for the house going into committee on this bill, Lord REDESDALE soiggested that this bill, as well as the English one, should be referred to a select com mitten. In a couple ref hours he thought both bills would be put in a much better form than they were at present. After a few words from Lord PANMIIRE and the Mar quis of BICtADALBANE, The bill passed through committee. The Vietc , ria Governments Bill was read a thrill time and passed. The Enstowed Schools (Ireland) Bill was 'passed through coin' nittee. The Edinburgh Lands Bill was reported with a mend ments. The Waste Lands (Australia) Acts Repeal Bill was read a third tione and passed. The New S o uth Wales Governments Bill was roe int a third time and . passed. The Places or Religious Worship Registration 11111 was read a this'd time and passed. YOUT HETI OFFENDERS' BILL. This bill was reported to the house with amendment: The Gold We, ;ding Ring the Commons' Inclo sure Bill, and tl 1,3 ' Encumbered Estates (Ireland) Act Continuance Bill passed through committee. Their lordships t hen adjourned. ROUSE OF CO_NIMONS.—(TRIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took : the chair at four o'clock. The Lords' amend inents to the following bills were considered and agree td to :—Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway ; London Net ty• °peas and National Mausoleum ; Wisbecli Port ; Gun-b etrrel Proof-houses (Birmingham and London) ; and the.. Bolton and Nightingales Road. Mr. ROEBUCK presented a petition from the Foreign Affairs' Com suttee of Newcastle, complaining of the conduct of the war. The petitioners ended by praying nothing, and saying they would ever pray. (Laughter.) Mr. HADFIELD presented a petition signed by the Mayor and the inha.'aita,nts of Sheffield, complaining of the present state of the representation of the people in that house, and stati. 314 that every householder of 12 months' standing should. have a vote. ROMAN CATHOLIC CHARITIES DILL. The order for the second reading of this bill was dis charged. LONDON WRIT COMMITTEE—CASE OF BARON ROTHSCHILD. Mr. WALL IDLE moved that Lord Hotham be dis charged from f mailer attendance on the committee, and that Mr. Edwa rd Egerton be added thereto. . Lord BOTH. AM rose to explain his reasons for wish ing to be relieve d from the attendance of this committee. He had been unt able to prevail on the majority of the committee to col sour with him, that if it was desirable the case should b e argue by counsel on one side, it was contrary t" all rea son, justice, and propriety that it,should not be argued in dike manner on the other side ; and on that not being deemed advisable by the majority of the committee nor by the house, he had come to the deter minate? ato ask the permission of the house to be re lieved f rom further attendance on the committee. Mr. ' T. DUNCOMBE hoped the nob le lord would re consiett 1r the determitaation he had come to, because if his elt wision was a proper one he (Mr. D'uncombe) ought to fo' [low his example. The committee could not last more 1 than one or two. days longer, and he thought it wool d be unfair to any hon. member who should join it now to ask him to decide or agree to the report without Navin 4 heard the arguments. (Hear.) Under these eir oums' Ances he trusted the noble lord would reconsider his i t etermitiation. (Rear, hear.) I.a rd HOTHAM said if the feeling of the house was, as it appeared to be, adverse to Vacs resolution he had cor:e to, he of course had no alternative but to comply Vitin its wish and continue on the committee. Alr. WALPOLE expressed his satisfaction at this latter d atermination of the noble 1 ord. 'I be s notion was then withdrawn. ROl 7- A L MILITARY COLLEGE, SANDHURST. In . re ply to Colonel HARCOURT, M r. PEEL said the report of the committee which had I teen , appointed to inquire into the nominations to cadet chit is from the above college was only just pub lished, at id be had not had time to read it ; but the re comment la Lions of the committee should be taken into consideratt ion on the first opportunity. RETIRE MENT OF OFFICERS ON FULL PAY. Col. N ORTH rose to ask the Under-Secretary for War, wb ether those officers who wished to take advan tage of t he Queen's late warrant for the retirement of officers upon fell pay, and obtaining a 1-tep in rank, week' 1 a e permitted to retain the reward for distinguished service which her Majesty had been graciously pleased to g vs nt them. Y il ... PEEL replied that no case of the kind alluded to by t;nts hon. and gallant member had yet occurred. THE ENFIELD RIFLE. Captain KNOX asked the Clerk of the Ordnance , N 1 , , ether he h a d an y objection to lay on the table of the h of tee any correspondence which had passed between him 2,n, 1 the authorities at Woolwich, or elsewhere, with re 'ifrd to the lamentable failure of the Enfield rifle, onthe .th day of June last, and whether he was taking any ff tops to remedy the evil ? i t t l h ia e t B ia e o a i r n d fo o r i m o a r t d io n n a33 o c n e. the • ' sub A j l e r c . t Ahla7bSeeEnLrLacerievediebdy THE SUNDAY BEER ACT. Mr. ALCO6IC asked the Secretary of State for the Department, whether, inasmuch as it seemed improbable that the Committee on the Beer Act will be able to re port duringthis cession, it was his intention to introduce a bill in order to modily the restrictions of the Beer Act of last sessiun ? Sir G. GREY said as he was not a member of the committee, and as the committee had made no report to the house yet, be was not enabled to say when the la bours of the conunittee would be concluded. The house had confided the inquiry to the committee on the mo tion of the honourable member for Bristol— (hear, hear) --and it was certainly not his (Sir G. Grey's) intention to interfere with that inquiry. SUPPLEMENTARY ESTIMATES. In reply to Sir H. WILLOUGHBY, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it would be necessary to propose to the house a sup plementary estimate for the naval department before the end of the session. In the expenditure of the past quarter there was a considerable excess over the estimate agreed to by the house. It would be aleo necessary, probably, to propose a supplementary estimate for the military department ; and if the house should agree to these supplementary ef:titnates, it would be necessary for him to submit the ways and means by which he should propose to meet the increased expendi ture. (Hear.) • INQUIRY INTO THE CONDUCT OF THE POLICE. In reply to Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, Sir G. GREY said a commission bad been appointed to conduct the inquiry into the conduct of the police in Hyde•park, consisting of the Recorder of London, Mr. Armstrong, the Recorder of Manchester, and Mr. Henderson, the Recorder of. Liverpool. Tne inquiry would be an open one, but it would be left to the discretion of the commissioners whether counsel should be heard on either side or not. The arrangements were not yet quits complete, but he be believed they would be advertised in to-morrow's papers. (Hear, hear.) TIIE DECIMAL COINAGE. Mr. RICARDO wished to ask the noble lord at the head of the Government a question upon the resolution of the house passed a few weeks since in reference to de cimal coinage. It was said that a third commission was about to be issued to inquire into the matter, and what ho wished to know was whether the commission would be empowered to go into the whole matter, or simply to carry out the views of the house as expressed in the re solution to which he referred ? Lord PALMERSTON replied that the commission which would be appointed would have to consider and report upon the whole subject, and to make such recom mendations as should seem to them to be desirable. THE CONDUCT OF THE POLICE AT TILE HYDE-PARK DEMONSTRATION. Sir F. TIIEHIGEIt sail, ho understood an inquiry was about to be instituted by the Home-office into the conduct of the police on the oc casipn of the late Hyde-park demonstration, and as he believed the commissioners to be appo nted would have the power of examining witnesses on oath, he wished to ask the right hon. baronet the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he had con sulted the law officers of the . Crown as to the authority of the Government to empower the commissioners to arbtinister the oath to witnesses without a special Act of Parliament ? Sir G. GREY replied that he bad not consulted the lea officers of the Crown in the matter, but he had bee 9 guided by precedents, of which there were several just 'iying the course the Government had taken. Si r F. TIIESIGER mentioned that when he had the hone ur of holding the office of Attorney-General, a question arse under similar circumstances, and he had held thrit the commissioners could not administer an oath to witnesses unless empowered specially by act of Marlin men t. COLONIAL POSTAGE. Sir S, NORTLICOTE gave notice that on Monday he should put a question to the Under Secretary of the Treasury in relation to the postage of letters and newspapers . to the colonies. INTEL - !,r.JIGENCE FROM THE SEAT OF WAR. Mr. P ALK wished to ask the noble lord at the head of the Government whether any intelligence had been received from the seat of war of a later date than that already published ? Lord PA_LMERSTON said that the Govenment had received intelligence daily. It was not of any import ance, but it contained satisfactory information that the health of tile army was good. SUNDAY GATHERINGS AT THE WEST END. Lord H. VANE said he had been requested by seve ral gentlem en resident in Belgravia, in which neigh bourhood he himself lived, to ask the Government whe ther, in the event of large bodies assembling in that part on 'Sunday next any arrangements had been made for the protection of the inhabitants, or whether, if such means had not been taken, the inhabitants would be at liberty to take steps for their defence. Sir G. GREY said that no information of any cer tainty had reached him that there would be a repetition of the scenes of the last two Sun days. It was possible large numbers of people might assemble, but every precaution would be taken by the Government to prevent any outrages being committed. He could not, at the same time help saying, . that these questions so frequently repeatedly tended to produce the very evil sought to be avoided. (Hear.) Mr. PALK, amidst cries of "oh," and "order," said be thought those questions were most proper, when it was remembered how defective the police arrangements were last Sunday ; and that a nobleman, whilst laying seriously ill in bed, was alarmed by his windows being broken by a shower of stones. BILLETING OF THE SCOTCH MILITIA. —THE AL DERSHOTT CAMP. Mr. COWAN asked the First Lord of the Treasury, if there be any intention on the part of the Government to put an end to the system of billeting the militia regiments upon private families in Scotland ? Col. KNOX, before the question was replied to, called the attention of the Government to the fact that, al though an encampment of Guards had been at Alder a.hott for two mouths, where they were specially sent for the purpose of being trained in the practice of firing ball iartridge, no firing ground bad yet been provided. This v , *as the more to be lamented, inasmuch as the regiments w , ere liable at any time to be drafted to the Crimea. .r...ord PALMERSTON, on the latter point, said he sho t Id make it his duty to call the attention of his noble frie» d at the head of the War Department to the subject ; but the hon. and gallant member must be aware that it wta t a difficult matter to obtain a sufficient space of grout IA for ball practice. As to the Scotch militia being billeted in private houses, he was aware of its evil con sequences and inconveniences ; hut the necessity had arisen from the fact of a large number of barracks having been done away with at the close of the last war. The t natter, however, should be represented to the noble lord at the head of the War Department. After some further observations from Mr. H. BAILLIB, Mr. L. DAVIS, and Sir J. WALSLI, the subject dropped. THE LATE LOAN. Mr. DISRAELI wished to ask the Chancellor of the Exche luer whether, when the Government contracted for the last loan of 16,000,0001., an arrangement was en tered in to by the Government with the parties contract ing the loan that no further sum should be asked for until all the instalments had bean satisfied, he asked this que becau§e, from bean cras s stated by tbe right hon. gentleman the other night, it had been rumoured that another loan was shortly intended t• be proposed. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that at the tii ne of obtaining the loan of 16,000,0001. an engagement :had certainly been entered into by the Government with the parties granting the loan not to attempt to raise any further loan until all the instal ments of the last loan had been satisfied, and the Go vernment wera determined to finfil strictly that engage. merit. RAGLAN'S ANNUITY BILL. LADY AND LORD This bill was read a third time and p asse d . TENANTS' IMPROVEMENTS COMPENSATION (IRELAND) BILL. The house then went -into committee on this bill, re suming at clause 15, and were LEFT SITTING. MEETING OF T.IIE LOND9N AND SOUTH WESTERN BAIL-WAY COMPANY. (THIS DAY.) A special general meeting of the proprietors of this railway was held this afternoon at the Company's Office, Waterloo station— Mr. Chaplin, the chairman of the company presiding . —for the purpose of again taking into consideration, and of approving or disapproving a bill now before Parliament entitled " An Act for authorising the execution of works by the company for regulating their capital, and for other purposes." And further for consider ing the provisions of a bill now before Parliament for making a railway from the Manor -street terminus of the authorised Westm i ns ter terminus railway, wherein cer tain powers are intended to be conferred on the corn- pany. It will be recollected that about a month since a meeting of the proprietors was held relative to the first portion of this notice, (the object of the act amongst others being to empower the directors to extend their line from Yeovil or Dorchester to Exeter). Whon the shareholders present expressed themselves streagLy against the proposed extension, and the result of toe poll being in their favour, it was thought neces sary and desirable b y the directors t his second meeting shod be held, in the ho p e the shareholders, on re consic:ering the su b j ect, would assent to the bill. notice Tle cSoEncvlieEnThAllglY(Mr. L. Crombi e ) having read the the meeting and the directors' report, and the Solicitor the heads of the two bills, The CHAIRMAN said he appealed to the meeting with confidence to approve of this bill. After alluding to the meetings that had already been held, with reference to this question, he hoped that harmony would exist, so es. 92 6231 82i 73 1274 100 1 674 81 i i i 101 1004 1001 i i 84 5 21 I 72 li f i i 2i i 184 18 1 96i 6 31 al f i ad in 22i I • - . itcn Bravet.Mejor 11.

There was a far more numerous attendance of the trade than at Wolver hampton yesterday. There were buyers present both from London and Liverpool, and for marked iron orders were taken for a considerable quantity ; indeed the usual quarterly contracts entered into were not much below the average. In pigs there was not so much done, for the makers of wire pigs firmly maintained prices ; the consequence is that those who have the means to buy hold off, and the more needy class of consumers who require the commodity do not press their orders, because they know that in present circumstances their bills would not be taken. This meeting passed off altogether quite as satisfactorily as could be expected, especially consider ing that commercial concerns in the district have been shaken last to an extent which has not been paralleled for the quarter of a century at least. There were in dications of a returning healthy tone, and a more cheer ful feeling was evinced to-day. 94 10 35 41
