CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday closed with a heavy appearance, and prices of American were nearly yd. per lb. lower. The mks were estimated at 6,000 bales (1,000 of which were taken on speculation, and 1,000 for export), comprising 250 Egyptian at 60. to Bd., 500 Surat at 41d.t0 5 W., and 20 Sea Islands at Is. to 1. , ;. 2d. per lb. The Railway Share Market was quiet a t a decline of to 4 per cent. in prices. All the tallow which left Russia last year for ngiali d is supp ose d t o h ave arr i ve d, th e quant it y being " 0 0 casks, of which about 67,500 were for London' 7,500 for the British outports, and the rest for Germany, &c. he s hin Medway, which was announced as -1/13Jien with last week, has arrived in the Downs. She has 16,960 ounces of gold on board. T he steamer Pacific was at Sydney on the 10th April, and was to l eave on t h e 14t h f or London . T he Red Jacket, for Liverpool, was to sail April 26th from Melbourne. Letters for the Cape of Good Hope and the Mauritius, per Lightning steamer, will be in time, if posted on Wednesday evening, for Greenock. In the Bankers' Magazine for July 'there is an interesting article upon the commerce and finance of lustralia, and another upon the proposed amend-. toent of the law of partnership, limiting the ha bility of the partners. The terms upon which the new French Loan is to be brought out will, if confirmed, almost entirely Preclude the co-operation of bankers and capitalists, either on this side or at Paris, as no individual, it is said, will be permitted to subscribe for more th an 50 francs of Rentes. Upon the last occasion l ong lists of supposititious names were sent from 143 E ldon, but as no t a s i xpence was a ll otte d h ere the plan had no effect. In France, the only way Probably in which large aggregate allotments can be obtained is by every clerk, employe, or acquaint ance of a firm applying for the maximum sum. The total of the loan is still expected to be about 30 millions sterling, and that, by anticipation, it acts 'upon our mar k e t, i s o bvious from the de c li ne at Paris in the rate of exchange on London, to a Point which will make it pay temporary to send gold thither. fi The Engli s h St oc k M ar k e t h as b een a littl e r b raer, but still with very T little business doing. e splendid weather ass i sts the market.

The accounts received by the Australian Mining Companies are in general more favourable. The Port Philip and Colonial Gold Company is advised under date of the Ovens, April 7, that the Gages section was very promising, containing tin ore and gold sufficient to yield a fair profit. At the Wool shed section the same productiveness was expected as at the other place. On the lower section the banks were very rich, and the miners were earning 101. and 151. per week. It was expected that gold would be found at other spots. Labour was plentiful, and a much better feeling prevailed towards the company on the part of the tniners than at the other gold fields. The well b y Coloni a l G o ld C ompany appears to b e doing crushing quartz, and expected to obtain one ounce of gold per ton. la The E nglish and Australian Copper Company had four furnaces at work, and during the last We rri" ek , ill March made 33 tons 7 cw t s 3 qrs 10 lb s . hi7-e amount of railway " calls " for July is de 0 971 ., but a large proportion will fall upon The Railway abro ad . little ailway Share Market has undergone ver y South - • South Wales are firm, and a l so (1 3er i Western.

Baines and Grenville Berkeley enacts that, where the burialground of a parish is closed or overcrowded, the guardians or overseers may bury corpses in some other neighbouring parish. Guardians are empowered to enter into agreements with cemetery companies and burial boards for the burial of paupers. It appears that the suggestion at present under con bsiderati at by the Bank o f E ng l an d for establishing a ranch t the west end of the town is supported by some of their most influential proprietors.

SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—The attractions of this place of amusement have been increased by the ad dition of a band of Spanish minstrels to the orchestra. These singers execute the pieces of music en'rusted to them w i th remarkable nreciiion and exquisite taste.

The Lords' amendment to the Leek Improvement Bill was considered and agreed to. Livesey's Blackburn Estate Bill was read a second time. METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT BILL. The house then went into committee on the above bill, resuming at clause A, relative to the qualifications of vestrymen, adjourned from 28th June. On the clause relative to the mode of voting being put, Lord EBRINGTON suggested that the mode of voting should be by polling instead of by voting paper. It was a system that had been adopted with success in the election of guardians throughout the kingdom. It had also been successfully tried in St. Pancras. He con tended there would be less fraud by voting as he pro posed than by the present mode of voting, and moved an amendment accordingly. Mr. WILLIAMS opposed the amendment. The house, by agreeing to it, would commit a great error, for a worse system could not be adopted than placing the electoral franchise in the hands of the police. Lord EBRINGTON considered the votes would be taken better by the course he proposed than the present mode. He cared not who it was done by, and if tht police was an objectionable body to perform the duty, let a certain number of men be engaged for the purpose at 2s. per day. Mr. WILKINSON supported the amendment of the noble lord, and presented a petition in its favour. Sir B. HALL said this was not a new mode of voting prescribed by the bill. He proposed eight places instead of one, for the borough of Lambeth for taking the votes, which was approved of by the rate-payers, though not by the guardians. To make a great measure palatable to the rate-payers it should contain provisions in ac cordance with the public feeling, but were he to adopt the course proposed by the noble lord it would be dis tasteful to the public and insure its rejection. Mr. A. PELLATT agreed with Lord Ebrington. The course he suggested for taking the votes would be the means of preventing popular excitement and a great sav ing of expense. Sir J. SHELLEY supported the original clause. He was not aware parochial elections were so expensive as some honourable members ,appeared to think. The in habitants of the metropolis were in favour of the mode adopted in the bill. Sir W. CLAY was so fully impressed with the value of the mode of voting adopted by the bill, that had a reform bill been introduced this session be should, have asked the house to adopt it for the election of members of Parliament. He suggested to the noble lord it would be better for him to withdraw his amendment than divide the house upon it. Sir W. CLAY thought the house was making a mistake in mixing this up with the police—a mistake they too often fell into, of making the police appear so important. He thought the noble lord had done right in bringing this question before the house. Sir G. GREY said no doubt irregularities had occurred in the delivery of the voting papers at the voters houses and calling for them again. He could easily understand that this was a convenient mode for those who would not take the trouble to go to the poll, but that was likely to be got over by the present bill, eight polling places having been appointed instead of one for taking the vAes. He thought this question ought to be decided on the general feeling and wish of the ratepayers, and from all he had heard it appeared the system proposed by the bill met with the sanction and approval of the majority of them. Lord EBRINGTON then withdrew his amendment. (LEFT SITTING.) THE SUPERANNUATION FUND BILL. At a meeting of the General Committee of the Civil Servants of the Crown held on Tuesday last, at the Buck ingham•chamhers, to consider what steps should be taken in consequence of the reply given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on the 21st ult., to a question put to him in the House of Commons by Mr. Disraeli, relative to the Superannuation Fund Bill, the following letter to the Prime Minister was unanimously adopted : " THE RIGHT HON. VISCOUNT PALMERSTON, M.P. " Admiralty, June 26. "My Lord,—lt is with deep regret and disappointment that we feel called upon to address your lordship as the head of her Majesty's Government, with reference to the reply given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on Thurs day last, to a question put in the House of Commons, by Mr. Disraeli, relative to the Civil Service Superannuation Bill. _ _ _ "A copy of the question and answer, as reported in the Times newspaper, we have appended to this letter. " The civil service has borne for many years the heavy abatements made from public salaries, under an act passed in the year 1854, for the ostensible purpose of `reducing' the charge upon the country for civil pensions. " The question has been long agitated and discussed, and actuaries have proved the injustice of the amounts levied for the purpose originally intended. " We have acted as a general committee of civil servants since the year 1846, for the purpose of collecting data, and urging upon each successive Government the strong neces sity which exists for altering the law. " We have procured, by means of returns to Parliament, and through other legitimate channels, the necessary data , for stating the whole of our case to the Government. "That case and the papers connected therewith were referred by the late Chancellor of the Exchequer to the Government actuary, who was unable to controvert the results we had arrived at. " The returns clearlyshow, upon the best available data, that had the contributions of civil servants since the year 1829 been funded at 3 per cent. interest they would now amount to more than 800,0001., after defrrying the pen sions authorised under the act; and further, that the in terest upon the fund would alone be sufficient to defray the entire charge for pensions hereafter to be granted ; and that, at the end of 60 years, when the full charge upon the country would be developed under the act, there would be a ' surplus' fund exceeding six-and-a-half millions sterling. " These facts we laid before the Government in 1853 and prayed for redress, having already, so far back as the year 1848, memorialised the First Lord of the Treasury upon the subject. " In May, 1854, the late Chancellor of the Exchequer assured us that the Government were much concerned at the titnewhich had been occupied in this i n vestigation; and in December last he further stated ' that the Government were then engaged in endeavouring to frame some mea sure on the subject to be submitted to Parliament.' " On the Bth of the present month the Chancellor of the Exchequer stated in the House of Commons that ' a bill for altering and amending the laws relating to the Civil Service Superannuation Fend, which was then in the hands of the draughtsman, would probably be laid before the House about the end of the next week (ending 16th of June).' "This answer gave encouragement to the Civil Servants of the Crown, whose salaries are small in comparison with others engaged in mercantile and professiond pursuits, and who have now 12 per cent., abated from their slender incomes; but judge, my Lord, of their dismay and disap pointment on reading the reply of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to Mr. Disraeli's question on Thursday night last, ' that although the bill was actually in print, he did not think, in the present state of the public business, there was any probability of it being considered this session, and that he saw no use in merely laying the bill on the table of the house without its being considered this session. "This reply, we beg leave to assure your lordship, is a most serious dis appointment to a large body of able and energetic men, to whose devotion and zeal for the public service at this period of unexampled pressure your lordship and every minister who has spoken on the condition of the Civil Service have borne testimony. " The feeling entertained on both sides of the house in favour of an early settlement of this long-vexed question is an earnet of te probability that the bill, which is now in print, w s i h ll be considered by the House of Coremons this session, if Lid . on the table. " We therete're most respectfully urge upon your Lord ship that the bill Oay be now submitted to the House of , Commons ; and wefurther trust that the Chancellor of the Exchequer will be p. :,eased to take such steps as he may deem necessary for insuringits consideration during the r Lord, your Lordship's pobretsaeinnetdsefsosritohnwoifthP.arliament in order th at redress ma y be " We have the honour to be , m 3 most obedient and humble servants, "R.

LORD HOWDEN AMONG THE CARLISTS. —A letter states that the diligence in which Lord Howden was proceeding to Paris had been stopped for six hours by the Carlists, near Burgos. THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF EXCISE.—We understand that Mr. John Wood, formerly M.P. for Preston, and who, for many years, has filled with suc cess and ability the office of Chairman of the Board of Excise, is about to resign that appointment. His suc cessor, in all probability, will be Mr. James Wilson, M.P., a gentleman who, in subordinate capacities in the Governments of Lord John Russell, of Lord Aberdeen, and Lord Palmerston, has rendered considerable service to the country by his economical researches, and as the framer of many useful measures in relation to the com merce and fiscal regulations of the country. The salary PI PAO& per annum.—Monting 44vIrtiscr!. The act of last session restricting refreshments at pub lic-houses was the first turn of the screw upon the com forts and enjoyments of the poor, and this experience has determined them not to submit to a second applica tion of the torture ; and who can say they are wrong ! The worm is turning. The poor have set about defend ing themselves according to the maxim of Bentham, that it is only by making the ruling few uneasy that the many can deliver themselves from oppression. They laid down the law plainly enough in Hyde-park, that if there is to be no recreation, no refreshment for them on their only day of respite from toil, and not even the necessary meal if they should have happened to be unable to pur chase it in the time prescribed, there shall also be no amusement, no pleasure for the rich. And the thing will not stop with carriage drives and airings. If the bill should pass (which we believe to be now impossible) there will be mobs at the doors of the poulterers, fish mongers, and confectioners, to prevent their sending out their commodities for the tables of the rich ; and that will not be all, the signs of entertainments will be watched, and doors will be beset where carriages are setting down for dinner parties, and it may be well if the worst be the forcible escortment of the occupants to the nearest church or chapel. The Pharisees, as we-have shown, have succeded in pro faning words and ideas that should be held in reverence, and they have further commenced teaching the most terrible lesson a people can learn, namely. hatred of the rich. This was the lesson which the French had by heart when the revolution broke out, wh ch was, indeed, its consequence. And the ABC of this devilish primer was the task of last Sunday. "These are the people who would rob UR of our poor enjoyments, nay, of our necessaries," was the feeling of the mob towards the occupants of carriages, and that their jibes, jeers and scoffs, hisses and howls, were no playful ebullitions, appeared in this ugly fact, that when horses took fright, kicked, plunged, and ran away, threatening serious mischief, the mob, unmoved by the terror and jeopardy of the parties, redoubled their cries to in crease the alarm of the animals, and add to the chances of serious or fatal accident. And this feeling has been brought about by the righteous overmuch, who rule that, because they are virtuous there shall be no cakes and ale. These men, if they had their way, would brutalise the country. They would make two camps of it, the hypocrites on the one hand, and the profligate and 'savage on the other. An English mob has been proverbial for its good nature, and the first time that vice has been seen in it has been upon the provoca tion of the Pharisees. Let timely warning be taken from the symptom, for it is one of grave import. There are two great classes in this country, the classes of pleasure and the classes of pain —the classes with whom pleasure is the rare exception, the classes whose pains are palling pleasures ; and to take from the classes of pain their poor pittance of pleasure is at once the most consummate in humanity and imprudence, for it is leaving them only the one sweet of vengeance upon the community which deals so hardly with them. In the beautiful scheme of nature, pleasure has its fair place not less than pain ; and if we would make a hell upon earth it would be by dooming a multitude of beings to unrelieved toil, six days of labour in every dreary week, and a seventh of austere denial and mortification. Endurance is an exhaustible quality, and beware of drawing on it too largely. We study many wants of the poor, and why not study to give them what is at least one of their main wants, p'easnre ! It is a necessary of life. " Life is a pill," said Doctor Johnson, " which none of us can bear to swallow without gilding ; yet for tho poor we delight in stripping it still barer, and are not ashamed to show even visible displeasure if the bitter taste is ever taken from their mouths." It is a small thing, indeed, the pleasure of the poor, little to give, much to receive ; but to di minish or take it away, what insensate cruelty ! Mr. Henry Berkeley, in his excellent speech on the Beer Act, feelingly and finely observes upon the little but pas sing sweet enjoyment of the poor, "Why, the daisy or cowslip, or the meanest wild flower plucked under the hedge by the child of a poor man, has more value in that child's eyes than the richest exotic has to the wealthy possessor of a greenhouse." The poor man's day is one in the week, amd there should he every contrivance to make the most of it, instead of much contrivance to make the least of it, and to cut out its very heart of animation. A part should be given to religion, a part to innocent recreation, and a change from what has been the business or habit of the week. The se dentary should unbend in exercise, the over-actively em ployed should repose ; the work•people pent up in close places should have the opportunity of tasting wholesome air and gladdening their eyes with new and bright scenes. In a word, the Sabbath should be as the sun to what has been the dull shade of the week. Bat who gives a helping band to these objects, and how is it that amongst our many benevolent institutions there never has been established a Society for Protecting and Promoting the Pleasures of the Poor ? Lord Ashburton has the merit of having proposed instruction in common things, but, alas, enjoyment is not of the class.—Examiner. IPitld. 46 47 21a a xd xn 101 A Do.. 100 ~10;I 100 5 100 all i di. ES. THE LESSON OF THE DAY IN HYDE- PARK. The policy of Lord Robert Grosvenor's Bill for the better observance of the Sabbath has been most aptly illustrated by a Sunday riot in Hyde-park. The mob took the hint from the lawmakers, and turned hypocrites for the nonce, shouting, " Go to church" to every per son who appeared in a carriage. Twenty years ago the Bishop of London occupied himself on a Sunday in counting the boats that passed under Putney-bridge, and he shot out his tongue against them, and cried, go to church, just as the mob did to the carriage folks last Sunday. Verily the mob are learning to be as false and pharisaical as their betters. They did not go to church, but were for putting the law on others which they did not conform to themselves. "Go tl church" in their mouths meant no more than this, " Do not enjoy your selves ; do as you would make others do, mortify, and practice self-denial." The mob have indeed had the wicked wit to take a leaf from the bill in Parliament, and under the false pretence of enjoining piety they have called for observ ances from which they hold themselves exempt. So the Puritan devoutly denies the poor man his refreshment at the wayside house of entertainment, while he regales at home upon the dainty works of his cook's hands, and the wines which his butler serves him with in uninter rupted pursuit of his daily calling. Go to Church is the word here again. What the practice? Go to Church, says the finger-post, which moves not a hair's-breadth that way. Sweets to the sweet, cant to cant ; and mark the working of puritanism in this result, that it has not only succeeded in bringing about rioting on Sunday for the better honour of the Lord's Day, but it has passed into current slang words that should have been kept in reverence and honour. Go to Church will now be the slang of every potboy, costermonger, and ragamuffin who turns Sunday to the account of insulting every one above his condition whom he happens to encounter. Go to Church will come to signify about as much as Go to Jericho. And whose doing is this ? We have to thank the Pharisees for it. They have brought about the re action, the coming of which we h ave l ong pre di cted. To make people good by act of Parliament is an impos sibility, but it is quite possible to make them bad by act of Parliament in the vain attempt to make them good, just as in former days infants used to be deformed by the process of swathing and swaddling intended to make them grow straight. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The steam-transport Sir Robert Sale, No. 88, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from the Black Sea. She left Malta on the 17th of May. On the 17th of June, in lat. 39.32 N. long. 12.51, she spoke the bark Anglia, and on the 27th, in lat. 49.5 N, long. 10.36, the Alfred, from Calcutta for London. She brings home a few Government stores. Her Majesty's yacht Victoria and Albert was taken out of dock at Portsmouth at 4 a.m. yesterday morning, since which time she has been re ceiving her furniture. She leaves for her trial cruise this morning. The Fairy and Elfin are also getting their final finish for the season in Portsmouth dockyard. TLIO Myrmidon paddle steam-sloop was swung in Portsmouth harbour yesterday, and had her compasses proved. Her Majesty and suite are expected at Portsmouth, on Thursday, on their way to Osborne. The screw steam-transport Norman, No. 155, sailed from Southampton last evening with 56 horses and 40 men of the 6th Dragoon Guards, under the command of Captain Norbury. Lieutenant-Colonel Daniel Lysons, of the 23d (Welsh Fusiliers), after escaping unhurt at Alma, Balaklava, and Inkerman, was severely wounded in the engage ment of the 18th of June before tke Redan. Colonel Lysons served throughout the Canadian rebellion in 1836-7, and was honourably mentioned in the despatches of Colonel Gore at St. Denis, but he distinguished him self in a more prominent manner in 1842, on the occasion when he was a reeked in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. He swam ashore from the transport in which were embarked a large detachment of troops, and was the means of sav ing the lives of all on board. They found themselves on a desolate part of the coast, several hundred miles from Quebec in the depth of winter. Lieut. Lysons vo lunteered to proceed there on foot for assistance, having to traverse trackless forests over the snow. His com panions in misfortune scarcely expected relief sooner than in 14 days. Their surprise and joy were great, therefore, to find, within a week, a steamer from Quebec reach them for their relief, with their gallant comrade on board, who was soon after rewarded by a captaincy without purchase. He has since served on the staff in the West Indies, and has obtained his present rank without purchase while serving in the Crimea. The Pioneer and Lady Lambton, screw steam trans ports, having completed loading with coals, ac ., at Wool wich, have left for the Crimea.

A small detachme n t o f t h e 6 t h Ennis ad On Saturday a drau g h t of the 71st or Glasgow High landers, numbering about 200 rank and file, left the Brootnielaw, Glasgow, by the Liverpool steamer Lynx, for the Crimea. They were accompanied to the quay by an immense number of sympathising friends and rela tives. The men were full of ardour and enthusiasm. The troop of the Queen's Bays, at Longford, has been ordered to move to Athy. Lieutenant-Colonel Trench is in command. A. large hody of troops, comprising detachments from Sir George Back was the first witness examined. He said he was tolerably well acquainted with the Arctic regions, having passed 13 years there. He gave great credit to Captain McClure for the per severance he evinced in pushing his vessel, amidst im mense difficulties, through a sea encumbered with ice, where a ship had n ever b een b e f or e. His pa s . sage through the Prince of Wales' Strait with his vessel showed immense firmness and great judgment upon his part. Still more glorious, in his opinion, was Capt. McClure's successful attempt to go all along the west side of Baring's Island, where the ship was neces sarily exposed to all the masses of ice which drifted down from the north, and came with such force against the shore. His own experience among the ice, in the Terror, in the same part of the Arctic regions, and his knowledge of the jeopardy is which a ship was constantly placed in there by the pressure and upheaving of the ice, led him to believe that he could scarcely sufficiently admire the courage and intrepidity of Capt. McClure and his officers in exposing themselves to such dangers—dangers which they knew must be encountered before success could be achieved. The credit of discovering a North-west Pas sage was also solely and entirely due to Capt. McClure. Capt. McClure attempted the passage by the south-east corner of Baring Island first, but did not succeed ; he then returned to the south extreme of the island, went westwards, then northwards, and then sailed to the east. The Chairman—Was it possible for him to have gone on with his vessel ?—That would depend entirely upon the state of the ice. Had he been accompanied by a steam-vessel it is perhaps not saying too much to assert that he would have got the ship through, but not having any steam power he could not possibly accomplish that feat. By Capt. £cobell—Captain M'Clure has at length cleared up the doubt which has so long prevailed as to the existence of a North-west Passage. Captain Collin son is unquestionably second after Captain M'Clure as regards this discovery. His ship, when in the Prince of Wales' Strait, was a little to the north of Captain M'Clure, but he failed in trying to get round to the westward. By the Chairman—There is not the least doubt in the world that Captain M'Clure discovered the North west Passage. Captain Kellett said be had wintered twice in the Arctic Seas, and had made three summer voyages to Behring's Straits. His first acquaintance with the Arctic regions commenced in 1848. There could be no question that Captain M'Clure had a priority of claim to the discovery. Captain Collinson followed Captain M'Clure within a period of twenty days, but neither party was aware of that fact at the time ; it was ascertained afterwards by a reference to Captain M'Clure's own records. Geographically speaking, he considered that Capt. INl`Ciure had solved the problem of the North-west Passage. By Mr. Gordon—Do you think if Capt. M'Clure bad been furnished with steam power he would have been able to make the passage not only in person, but with his ship ?—I do not think that any vessel, with any power, could have gone through the channel by the west. By Admiral Walcott—From the position he was :u, I do not consider that Capt. Collinson could have ac complished the North-west Passage. Supposing Capt. M'Clura had not made the pssage, the credit of achieving it might have been a marded to Capt. Col linson. By Capt. Scobell--When Capt. M'Clure found he could not get through the Prince of Wales' Strait, it was an unparalleled performance going round the island with the whole weight of ice upon him. The coast was of such a nature that. it the ice had come against his ship, not a man of his party would have been saved, yet he remained upon that coast for about six weeks with out meeting with any accident. When I was ordered to desert my ship the crew were perfectly healthy, and I had quite sufficient rrovisions to last me while I brought her out. The committee then adjourned until this day. THE NEW JUDGE.--The Freeman's Journal, referring to the new appointment on the English bench, says : Mr.lles, Q.C., who has the reputation of being one of the ablest and soundest lawyers at the English bar, is son of the late Dr. Willes, of Cork, and was educated in Trinity College, Dublin.

THE RIVER TYNE.—An enormous blue-book of more than 500 pages contains the report of the commissioners appointed to inquire into the present state of the river Tyne. The commissioners, looking at the evidence ad duced and the opinions of professional men—considering also all the circumstances of the present state of the river, and the extent of private commercial establish ments and public docks formed on its shores, and weigh ing the advantages and disadvantages of one uniform system, report their opinion in favour of the construction of full-tide walls carried continuously along well-defined river lines, similar to those laid down by Mr. Rennie in - 1813 between Newcastle -bridge and Shields, which have not been materially departed from in the various plans proposed subsequently by different engineers, and which have been approximately adhered to by the engineer of the Conservancy Commissioners. On the whole the works which have been constructed appear to the com missioners consistent with the future adoption of the plan of full-tide walls. Subject to certain qualifications, they are of opinion that the encroachment on the tidal waters of the Tyne by jetties, embankments, and other works on the banks thereof have not injured the navi gation, and will not counteract the plans for removing the sandbanks at the mouth of the rivar, or otherwise injure the navigation of that important river. The com missioners deprecate a continuance of the differences and disputes which have hitherto prevailed in the Tyne Im provement Commission, and hope that petty local Jea lousies and animosities between Newcastle and Shields will be buried in oblivion. The minutes of evidence occupy the bulk of the volume before us. the 90th, 62d, and 14th Infantry Regiments, arrived in Dublin on Saturday from Mullingar, there to await orders for embarkation for the Crimea. The 69th depot, now in Dublin Garrison, proceed to Kilkenny to-day to relieve the depot of the 72d _Highlanders stationed there, and who will form part of the nett body of troops em barking for the seat of war. The 56th Regiment, at p resen t s t a ti one d i n D u bli n, expect to embark at Kingstown for the Crimea in the course of 10 days. The Royal Tyrone Fusiliers have been ordered to hold themselves in readiness for embarkation at Liverpool, to go to Sheffield barracks. They are called upon, for the first time since embodiment, to give volunteers to the regular army, previous to embarkation for England. Their present strength is 36 officers and GOO men of all ranks, bein g 400 below th e i r f u ll numbers. PARMAXIENTARY COMAIITTEES. THE DISCOVERY OF THE NORTH-WEST PASSAGE.
