Mr. WHITESIDE gate notice that this slay fort night he should move for a reform in the Court o Chancery Law. NEW WRITS. On the motion of Mr. HArrizn a new writ was or• dered for the borough of Tiverton in the room of Lord Palmer-49n, who mince his election has accepted the office of Prime Minister. On the motion of Mr. HATTER a new writ was or dered for the Southern Division of Wilts, in the roem of the Right Hon. Sidney Herbert, who since his election has accepted the office of one of her Majesty's principal Secretaries of State ()Nome-office.) - ORDNANCE SUPPLEMENTARY ESTIMATES. Mr. GLADSTONE proposed that the Speaker do now leave the chair, in order that the house might go into committee of supply, for the purpose of giving a vote on account of the supplementary estimate for the Ordnance Department, of which his right hon. friend, the principal Secretary of State, had duly given notice yesterday. He might state that the Government were of opinion that it was the wish of the house that they should not proceed with any business, except such as was of absolute necessity for the public service, until those who bad accepted office or changed office in her Majesty's Government had had an opportunity of submitting themselves to their constituents for re-election. So far as the Govern ment was concerned, it would not be convenient to-day to go on with the bills which were already stated on the votes of the house ; but if the expression of the opinion in the house should make it evident that the contrary was the wish of the house, the Government would be ready ; but estimating the probable wish of the house, it had been thought not convenient, and consequently the Government proposed that the first important busi. ness brought forward should be the Navy Estimates, and they fixed Friday week for that purpose, more particularly as his right hon. friend the First Lord of the Admiralty OD whom it would devolve to propose those estimates, had been indisposed, and would not be able to be in his place before that day. With respect to the vote he (Hr. Gladstone) proposed to take to-day, it would only be necessary for him to remind the house of the restrictions laid upon the Government by the rules and regulations of the house, in regard to public money, The house would bear in mind that it was not only necessary that all money raised for the public service should be raised by the authority of Parliament—it was not only necessary that the money should be appro priated for the particular service for which it was asked, but the wisdom of the house had enforced, as a further restriction, that this money, al though legitimately applied, could not be issued without the authority of the Ways and Means Bill. It had become necessary for the Government, in consequence of the expenditure of the Navy and Ordnance departments, to propose a supplemental estimate for the present year, aid, in the first place, to authorise the further expendi ture of money for those services, and to issue the money. He hoped, therefore, that the house would make no objection, or raise mu difficulty in giving the vote he required ; inasmuch as it was required to meet the exigencies of the public service, and no doubt the house would be desirous that no department should be stopped. (Hear, hear.) The vote would be reported to znerrew, and in the meanwhil. She GOVezilineut would examine whether it was possible to meet the necessary expenditure without troubling the house to meet from day to day. He hoped it would be distinctly understood that if he proposed that vete to-day, that it was desirable no discussion should take place upon the subject of the estimates, an opportunity for which would be afforded to the house when the residue of the estimates were moved on Friday week. Sir H. 'WILLOUGHBY had not been aware of the intention of the Government to ask for the vote in question until he saw it upon the notice paper in his hands. And he should like to know whether constitutionally it had a right to call upon the house to vote a large sum of money on ac count, when there was no responsible person in office to answer for its proper and efficient outlay, and moreover as the notice had come before the house without full notice. He should also like to know the meaning of the two supplemental estimates which the Government proposed. Did they include the army, or were they to have another estimate for that service ; and further when they should what were the supplies required for the year 1854-55 ? (Hear, bear.) Mr. WALPOLE observed that the only object for go ing into committee was to take the vote which had already been passed for the public service, and that being so he thought there could be no objection to that course. He morrow. should, however, object to reporti ng t h e reso l ut i on to- Sir C. WOOD said the resolution would not bind any one ; it was only to take a vote on ac count, and every item in the estimates could be fully and fairly discussed when the residue of the vote was prepared. The resolution of to-day would commit no one whatever. With regard to what had fallen from Sir H. Willoughby, he might state that this vote would require no loan in fresh taxes, as i t was s i mp l y a vote on account to meet the demand of the public ser vice out of the existing funds in the Treasury. No public business could be taken until Friday week, when Government would propose to go on with the Navy Estimates, which would be laid on the table to-morrow. Mr. A. STAFFORD said he had received a letter this morning from Scutari, stating that the difficulties of that hospital were increasing. The deaths averaged 40 a day, and, information had come down from the Crimea, directing the authorities of the hospital to be prepared for the reception of five hundred additional R there Q U E were sick and wounded. He was told al so t h at the system u of rg t e ra d n u sp po o n rt tehveas6sotivllermnnosietndtistghe necessity disgraceful, of bestowing ful, and he therefore some signal mark of confidence upo n D r. Macgregor, who had undertaken to reform the tra nsport system. Rpointed two out to C t l e AN ho C n E ov L r L ab O iti ß m of e t m h b e e E r X o C ja ll t courses open to him, which it would have been better fer him to have taken rather then make a statement which the house had just heard. Either he could have laid his information before the War Department, or he could have formally called the Government to account in Parliament for their neglect if they bad committed any error. Neither of these courses had the hon. gen. tleman taken, but he had preferred to make an ex parte statement upon his own responsibility, and he could only state generally that everything had been and was being done to mitigate the evils at Scutari. Additional medical assistance was rapidly being sent out, and he must again express his regret that the hon. pie _at his inform:ton before the proper department, instead of disclosing it in his place in Parliament. He deprecated the appeal which the hon. member hal made on behalf of Dr. M acgregor, because it assumed the appearance of dictating to the Government. (Hear, hear.) Mr. A. STAFFORD explained that he had come down expecting to find the Secretary at War in his place, or he, perhaps, should have taken the course re commended by the right hon. gentleman. Mr. WHITESIDE said the state of things at Scutari was so horrible that it was preposterous, nay, it was cruel, to expect members to remain silent upon it, or to apologise when they ventured to refer to it. He would not be so mealy-mouthed, and he had no hesitation in declaring that, after the censure which had been passed upon the Secretary at War, it was the height of impro priety to reward him by so shuffling the political cards as to enable him to step into a higher office. (Hoar.) Col. B. KNOX said the case was so pressing that it admitted of no delay. The army in the Crimea was perishiug at the rate of a thousand a weele—in fact, it was now reduced to 11,000 men, and all ;hi s was ow i n g to the mismanagement of the authorities- in the East. Col. DUNNE said no lecture from the Chancellor of the Exchequer should deter him fr nn stating the facts to the house. The army in the f e lrimea did not number more than 11,000, of whicli, 4.lember not more than 2,000 were fit to go into act'on, while there were 1,000 men in the hospital at Balaklava ; and : yet the men whose incompetence bad brought this state of things about wire to be promoted in office ; but he was sure the country would not stand it, and ho hoped the com mittee of inquiry would be proceeded with. Sir W. MOLESWORTH said the hon. and gallant member had fallen into an error. The British force in the Crimea numbered 30,000 men, while the weekly deaths were far less than 600 a-week, as the returns would show. The house then went into committee of supply. In reply to Sir. H. WILLOUGHBY, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that no supplementary army estimate would be re' quired for the year 1854-55. He stated last August that the military expenditure of the year would not ex ceed the estimates then voted by 3,000,0001. His esti mate of the excess now was 3,340,0001. A vote of 1,200,0001., of account of the Ordnance supplementary estimate, was then agreed to. The house then resumed, and the report was ordered to be received to-morrow. NAVY ESTIMATES. On the motion of Mr. WiLsoN, it was agreed that to-morrow orders of the day should have precedence of notices in order that a vote might be taken on account of the supplemental navy estimates for the years 1854-55. The other orders were then disposed of, and the house adjourned at half-past one o'clock. THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS. (From the Times of this day.) The intelligence we have to communicate to the public on the present Ministerial crisis, and the materials from which we can attempt to form an opinion of the success and stability of the new Cabinet, are still, unhappily, of [ a scanty and unsatisfactory kind. It is known that Lord Palmerston perseveres in his undertaking, and had two audiences of her Majesty yesterday to report progress. It is known also that some of the impediments which had been raised against the formation of the projected Administration have been removed. We believe it to be definitively settled that Mr. Gladstone, Sir James Graham, and Mr. Sidney Herbert retain their positions in the Government, the latter gentleman succeeding Lord Palmerston at the Heme-office. Sir George Grey, too, has consented to remain at the Colonial Department, in spite of his ill-health, as a proof of his cordial desire to support Lord Palmerston at the head of the Govern ment. The changes likely to take place are, therefore, even fewer than had been anticipated. They will, in fact, probably be confined to the removal of Lord Aber deen from the Premiership and of the Duke of New castle from the War Department, and the only office new to be supplied by a new Minister is that of the Se cretary of State for War. After 10 days, then, of anxious negotiation and endless intrigue while .the whole business of the empire ha. been suspended Parlia ment been adjourned from day to day, or vexed with Personal recriminations—negotiations for peace post poned, and the fate of armies in the field left in suspense —we revert to a point which might have been reached with less delay and less injury to personal reputations. Nay, even at this hour we are by no means certain that the office of Secretary of State for War is filled up, though it was the source of all this commotion, for some doubt remains whether Lori Panmure's health will en able him to accept its arduous duties. We believe, how ever, :that Mr. Layard will hold the office of Under- Secretary of State for the War Department —a post for which his great knowledge of the East, his recent visit to the theatre of war, and the energy of his character undoubtedly qualify him. The most certain and inevitable result of the vote of the House of Commons appeared to be that Lord Aber deen and the Duke of Newcastle should cease to form part of the Government. The Duke intimated, with great feeling and dignity, that he was equally determined to re sign the seals of the office he held, and to accept no other, because he felt that his name, • under the existing cir cumstances of the country, would be a source of weak ness rather than of strength to his colleagnes in office. As matters now stand, the Duke acts wisely for him self and for the country in keeping aloof for a time from the direction of public affairs, nor should we have doubted that Lord Aberdeen himself had come to the same resolution, and for the same or still stronger rea sons. Rightly or wrongly, justly or unjustly, his name has been connected by the public in this country and other parts of Europe with the inefficient conduct of the war, and that imputation has been used as an instre ment to break up the Government over which he pre sided. The belief in Lord Aberdeen's retirement was, therefore, so• general and so natural, that we should hardly have adverted to the subject, if we had not ob served in a journal connected with one section of the Government a statement that Lord Aberdeen was ex pected to return to office in the capacity of Lord Presi dent of the Council. We cannot suppose that Lord Aberdeen himself entertained any such intention. Whatever be the merits or the defects of his character, they are perfectly consistent with the principles he has uniformly professed —an earnest desire for the restore- tion of peace, aid a strong hope of obtaining it chiefly by iliplorastic means. That oninimt iii Not popular at this time in the country or in Parliament; and Lord Palmerston is collect upon by acclaniation to form a War ministry. We heal say trust that his energy sad practical knowledge of nailitax7 affairs nay enable him to pro/meats and terminate the war with triumphant success. But there would be an obvious absurdity is Lord Aberdeen's holding a subordinate office in a Cabinet which comes into power for the express purpose of tak ing measures which he, as Prime Minister, did not think it necessary to adopt. His own dignity and reputation. evidently prescribe a comparative retirement, although, in an age of great and extraordinary events, accompa nied by strong revulsions of feeling and judgment, it is by no means certain that the opinions which are identi fled with the name of Lord Aberdeen will always be as unpopular as they are at the present moment. These considerations are so self-evident that we wonder any of Lord Aberdeen's friends should have thought it expe dient te put forward his name at all at the present moment, er to make his presence in the Cabinet a con dition of their own acceptance of office. If Lord Aber deen formed part of the new Ministry its failures would, in the present temper of the nation, be thrown upon him, and its successes ascribed to others ; it is therefore in his power to reader far more valuable services to the Government and to the country in an independent position. We are reluctant to suppose that any cause of this nature can have contributed teretard the formation of the Government; but certain it is that there has been a most injurious delay, and the mutterings of impatience which were heard last night in the House of Commons will, ere long, burst forth in an explosion of dissatisfaction. We have ranch boa time and lost ground to regain—we have great and continuous efforts to make before we can restore the military influence of this country to the high point at which it stood after the Battles of Alma and Inkerman ; and we have yet to prove that with a free Parliamentary Government this country can carry on a campaign to a successful termination. The world, jealous of our wealth, and jealous of our freedom, may say that prosperity has relaxed the warlike spirit of the nation, and liberty impaired the authority of the Go ♦ernment. Yet never were the people of England more eager to throw their whole strength into the prosecu tion of a war, or more ready to obey any Minister who will take the measures necessary to obtain success. The more resolute the Minister, the more he will be sup ported, and our difficulties have arisen entirely from a want of authority in the Government, not from any re sistance to authority in Parliament or the nation. MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.) The show of English wheat in to-day's market was limited, yet most of Monday's unsold samples were cleared off at that day's currency. There was only a trifling inquiry for foreign wheat, the supply of which was moderate, yet holders generally were firm, and the quotations were well supported. The barley trade was dull, yet we have no change to note in prices. Malt moved off heavily, on former terms. Oats were somewhat firmer than on Monday, and prices were supported. In the value of beans, peas, and flour no change took place. ARRIVAL! THIS WREN. Wheat. Barley. Malt. t Oats. i Flour. 220 1 70 i 540 i 2,810 133 1 120 English .. Irish .• • • Foreign .. BOROUGH HOP.

INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT (ENGLAND AND BELGIUM). —Yesterday appeared the copy of a convention between her Majesty and the Kirg of the Belgians for the esta blishment of international copyright, signed in Lou den on the 12th day of August, 1854, and recently rati fied (on the 24th of January). From the date of the convention coming into operation, the authors of works of literature and art will be entitled to exercise the right of property in their works (where the laws now confer that right) in the territories of the other country, and the protection given to original works will be extended to translations with certain express stipulations. Dra matic works and the performance of musical compositions will be included in the provisions of the conventions in so far as the laws of each of the two countries are applicable. Pirated works or articles will be seized and destroyed, and such penalties levied as the laws of each country may prescribe. Works, to be protected, must be registered—if Belgian, at Stationers'-hall, London, and, if English, at the office of the Belgian Minister of the Interior in Brussels. During the continuance of this convention the duties now payable on the importa tion int ) the United Kingdom of books and musical works published in Belgium will be reduced to 15s. per cwt., and the duties on prints or drawings to 14d. per. lb, The duties now payable en the importation of books, music, and prints into Belgium will be reduced , to and fixed at the uniform rate of 10f. per 100 kilo grammes. Books, &c., may still be prohibited by either Go vernment. The convention is to continue in force for 10 years, and from year to year, on the tacit agreement of the contracting parties.

BANQUAT A Last night the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor gave his usual annual dinner to the aldermen and other dignita ries of the city at the Mansion-house. The proceeoings on the occasion derived their chief, if net their only in terest, from the circumstance that among the guests in vited to the dinner were the Earl of Cardigan and Ad miral Sir Charles Napier, who each delivered speeches relating to the war, in which they have both taken active and leading parts. Lord Cardigan attended attired in the identical uniform which, we under-tood, he wore in the desperate cavalry charge at Balaklava. Upwards of 100 ladies and gentlemen were present at the banquet. The cloth having been removed, and the customary loyal toasts duly honoured, The LORD MA.TOE briefly proposed " the Navy and the Baltic service," coupling with the toast the names of Sir Charles Napier and Captain Lynch, R.N. (Drunk with enthusiasm.) Sir CHARLES NAPIER then rose to return thanks, and was received with applause. The gallant Admiral, who was very indistinctly heard, was understood to speak al follows :—My Lord Mayor, Lady Mayoress, ladies and gentlemen, if an officer having returned from a foreign service like my noble friend, if he will allow me to call him so (the Earl of Cardigan), after having performed prodigies of valour, and been received in the manner in which lie has been this day, must feel proud on this oc casion, how must I feel, who have returned from my com mand having scarcely performed any service at all, and been censured by the Government, and dismissed from my command ! (Cries of " No, no.") I repeat, dis missed from any command. I have ao doubt it will be expected by the present company that some account ' should be given of the very small sereices.performed in the Baltic by that magnificent feet which was sent out from this country. (Hear, hear.) That fleet was mag nificent, certainly, to a degree. It was very badly manned, and worse disciplined ; but, however, we ma naged to take it to the Baltic without pilots, without charts —all the officers being perfectly unacquainted the Baltic and the difficulties of the navigation ; and we succeeded in getting there in perfect safety. Now, the first object I bad in view was to endeavour, if possible, to satisfy the wishes of the people of this country. I was quite aware, when I went there, that one-tenth part of what was expected could never be performed ; hut, nevertheless, I was determined to do the best I pos sibly could under the circumstances. 'When we first went out my view was to give the Russians every chance of putting to sea. I divided my fleet into two i.quad rons—l left one in the Gulf of Finland, and the other not very far off from the island of Gothland. However, the Russians did not think proper to come out. Our next object was to go to Cronstadt and see what was to be done there. We accordingly proceeded, with the as sistance of a French squadron, to do all that we possibly could, in order to attack the enemy. But we found the thing totally impracticable. Ia the first place, there was not depth of water enough for the ships, and in the next place the batteries were of such strength that it was impossible to attempt to attack the place without the certainty almost of destruction to our fleet. I think, therefore, that I acted the prudent part in the course I pursued. The French Admiral entirely concurred in my opinion, and we therefore returned to our former anchorage, and thence went to Bomarsund. I had written before to the English Government, proposing to attack Bomarsund. I wanted no other troops to enable me to go there. I had troops enough ; but the French Admiral thought it mere proper to have some. The French Government sent out 10,010 troops accordingly. I repeat that I did not want them—they would much better have Lees employed at Sebastopol. I only asked for one or two thousand men to make the thing more sure ; but I could have done without them ; and I wrote home to that effect. However, they sent us out 10,000 men. It is needless for me to say how quickly the thing was accomplished. (A. laugh.) Bomarsund was taken in so time, with little loss, and a great fortifica tion was destroyed —or rather a series of fortifications which extended a considerable distance over the Baltic. I now come to a matter of greater consequence, and I think it my duty to make it known as much as I can do here, because I am not in Parliament. I have been very much censured by the Government. Great clamour has been raised against me, and instead of the Govern ment discountenancing that clamour, they have actu silly supported and encouraged it. The moment it was known in England and France that the French army intended to return horse seeing that it was perfe c tly impossible at that season Of the year to perform any fur ther service without risking her Majesty's fleet, the Go vernment became dissatisfied, and they ordered a council of war to be held. I dare say nobody ever heard yet of a council of war fighting. (Laughter.) However, we did not want that to drive us en. But the whole sub ject was carefully and thoroughly examined by a Mar shal of France, a French admiral, a general of French engineers, and also by no less than three British admi rals ; and they all unanimously decided that it was per fectly impossible to proceed further; and that bad we done so we should have encountered the risk of almost certain defeat and loss. The British Admiralty was not satisfied with that, but they listened to the advice of an officer of engineers, and I was ordered to hold another council of war, to ascertain whether French admirals and English officers would abandon their own opinion and adopt that of the Admiralty. The English officers felt insulted at the proposal. Had I been desirous to con sult the opinion of a Brigadier-General of English En gineers, and to give np my opinion when the other members had expressed their opinion, they thought it was not necessary toehold another council of war, aid the French Admiral very properly refused to join in such a proceeding. He said, " I have already given my opinion, and it is not the opinion of any General of En gineers, whether he be English, French, German, or any other country, that will make rue chan ge ray opin ion of au attack p ure l y naval in its character. " The rr mint at home was not satisfied with that. The French General of Engineers sent home another report, still more bare than the first, and it is unnecessary for me to say that we all concurred in condemning that opinion also, and the French army returned to Francs. 1 be lieve, and have no hesitation in saying, that had they gone up the Gulf of Finland again, instead of returning home, our fleet would have been totally lost. Not satis fied, however, with that, I went up, determined to have another survey of that fortification, which is one of the strongest in Europe. That was in the month of Sep tember, and that month in the Baltic corresponds in se rerity with November here and among the Channel Islands. I then sent home a report of the survey I had taken with great care and deliberation, and with the determination to do all that a man could d• to satisfy, if possible, the expectations of the people of England. The moment it was first reported (erroneously) that Se bastopol was taken, it was also said, " Wby does not Admiral Napier go and take Cronstadt and St. Peters burg !" In fact, I was asked, " Why don't you go and take Moscow ?" (Laughter.) Now, I never did ex pect that the Admiralty would join in that clamour. I say I certainly never expected that they would have been so mean and despicable as to join in that clamour in order to bring odium on a naval officer who had done all in his power to bring honour and credit to his coun try. (Hear, hear.) What did I do ! Why, I sent home to the Admiralty a clear and detailed account, stating my opinions and what appliances were necessary in order to take Sweaborg. You will not expect me to state what those opinions were. (Hear, hear.) Suffice it to say that I gave two separate opinions, one of which if followed I believe was certain to insure success, and the other cert a i n t o b r i ng d es t ruct i on on the fleet. What did the Admiralty then do ? I mention this in order that there may be no mistake whatever, because if the Government h ave th e l eas t sp i r it about them they will immediately discharge me, and turn me out of the service. (Laughter.) I say that the Admiralty per verted my language. They not only did that, but they sent to me the most goading letters which they possibly could write. They asked me why I did not take Sweaborg, and why I did not do this, that, and the other ? They received my letter, giving them an account of how Sweaborg might be taken, on the 4th of October, the very day on which the first intelligence reached England of the capture of Sebastopol. On the 9th of October—five days after wards—the news arrived that Sebastopol was not taken; but the Admiralty had not the plain, straightforward dealing, or the honesty, to write to rim and apologise. No ; but what they did was this—they perverted what I had written, giving them a plan for the taking of Sweaborg. My lord, I was not going to stand that. (Laughter and cheers.) lam not the man to put up with an insult. I remonstrated most strongly, but after all my remonstrances they still persisted in saying that I had led them astray. Well, what could I do ! I was not going to he driven into all this, particularly as Sir J. Graham during the whole period I was in the Baltic had written to me admonishing me to g fleet beware against of stone walls ; telling me not to risk her Majesty them ; that these stone walls were not to be trusted ; and reminding me that when I first known to be going out to the Baltic wasn a ccused by certai n persons of want of discreltibona,dbbueteassuring me that now, in his opinion, I had proved my self a consumm ate com mander-in-chief. After that came the most insulting mind degrading letters to me ever addressed to an offi eel--; and I mention this particularly in the hope that it will go forth to the world, and that Sir J. Graham will be prevented from ever sitting in the Administra tion again as First Lord of the Admiralty. I state it to the public, and I wish them to know that had I followed the advice of Sir J. Graham I should most inevitably have left the fleet behind me in the Baltic. I will prove this before the world ; and if Sir J. Graham has one single spark of honour in him he will never again take his seat at the Admiralty until this matter is cleared up. On the other hand, I will say that I have no right to be ever employed-again, and I ought, in fact, to be scratched off the Navy List" if lam not telling the truth in what I now state. (Cheers.) lam taking the first or portunity of making this statement publicly, and I am perfectly ready to answer for my conduct before the House of Commons whenever they choose to call upon me to do so. (Cheers.) The gallant Admiral then con cluded by again thanking the company for the honour they had done him in drinking his health. The Loan MAYOR gave, as the next toast, " The Army," coupiing with it the names of the Earl of Car digan and of Captain Maxse, his lordship's aide-de-camp, and took occasion to pass a high eulegium upon the gallant deeds of the noble Earl in the Crimea, and spe cially upon his heroic conduct in the disastrous catary charge at Balaklava. (The toast, at the suggestion of Alderman Cubitt, was given upstanding, with three times three vociferous cheers. The Earl of CARDIGAN then rose to acknowledge the compliment that had been paid him. He said—MY I Lord Mayor, Lady Mayoress, ladies, and gentlemen, feel considerably embarrassed in rising to re t u rn you my sincere thanks for the high honour tliat you have done me, because there are several conflictinglam here reminded feelings which now weigh heavily upon my mn , of what has recently eccurredi i n ci tie Ettt: and I feel cer- tarn that a late engagement in which I was an actor ire that part of the wer:d is the cause of the handsome an flattering reception which I have met with this day. But, coupled with that, there are other feelings which press on my mind —among others, the recollection of the sad and disastrous loss that occurred on that fatal day, and the number of brave officers and soldiers whose lives were then unfortunately sacrificed. (Hear, hear.) I Lave further to remember that it is very difficult to say anything connected with the war which is now waging in the Crimea without touching inadvertently upon some of those subjects which now so much engross the public: attention, and which are also under the full considera tion of both Houses of Parliament ; and I think, there. fore, that you must clearly see that it would by no means be fitting er proper for me, in the situation which I hol,i —that of a high staff position in the army—to enter into that question on this occasion. (Hear.) My Lord Mayor, my services in the Crimea having been alluded to by you. perhaps I may be allowed to inform you how I have been employed since I was sent out to the east. (Hear, hear.) It was my good fortune, when in Turkey, in the SPA instance, to be cent forward by the Commander of the Forces towards the enemy's outposts with the light cavalry. It was net well known where the Russians were at the time the siege of Silistria was proceeding. 1 was, therefore, ordered to ascertain the position of their army and its outposts. I had to patrol the whole the under morning i 9 m r n y i n command. ra o rr n i e a n day,el. of the coun t ry b y means of detachments of the troop• Shortly after this, very ea r ly i n I received from head-quarters a very peremptory order, which was by no menus unsa tiqictory to me, that I should immediately proceed. with a strong body o f cava l ry to discover what had be come of the Russian army ; for the siege of Silistria had then been raised, and the British Commander-in -Chief was totally ignorant whether the Bussians were about to proceed tawards Varna to attack our position, or in. tended to retreat towards their own country. You can easily imagine that this was rather an anxious undeetek ing, and one that required the exercise of considerable caution on my part. We might have come at any moment upon the Russian army—upon the Russian outposts. We travelled over the country, which I may call a perfectly wild desert, for a distance of nearly 300 miles. My orders were to proceed 130 miles as far as Trajan's Wall, on the confines of the Dobrudsclia. We did so, and marched 120 miles without ever seeing a human being. There was not a single house in a state of repair or that was inhabited along all this route, nor was there an animal to be seen except those that exist in the wildest regions. Having ascertained that the Russian army had returned by Babadagh, and given information to the Com mander-in-Chief upon that subject, I then proceeded on a very interesting march, patrolling along the banks of the Danube to Rustchuk and Silistria, and returned thence by that great fortress Schunela, which has been oft.en attacked, but never taken— it being, in fact, as I believe, perfectly impregnable. (Hear.) After our return from these quarters to Varna, then came the order to proceed to the Crimea ; and here I must say that that expedition was a noble undertaking, and bad in view an object worthy of the ambition of two great nations. (Cheers.) On our first landing in the Crimea, I was em ployed within two hours afterwards, with a strong body of cavalry, artillery, and infantry, in endeavouring to cut off some Russian cavalry, which were supposed to be marching towards Simpheropol . ' lam sorry to say that I did not succeed in this tack, for I never could find the Russians. (Laughter.) A. few days afterwards came that glorious affair, the battle of the Alma ; and here I must say, that, according to my humble judgment, nothing could be so perfect as the preparations which were made by a great army for that attack. The columns of our in fantry, which bad marched in perfect order for the attack, instantly deployed into three lines, and advanced straight down the hill, crossingand fording the river, then ascended the hill on the opposite bank, and marching straight into forts and batteries which appeared to be impregnable, they drove out at the point of the bayonet a Russian army of 45,000 men in the short space of two hours and a half. The arm of the force in which I served had not the honour of being engaged in anything important on that occa. sion. We sat upon our horses under a heavy fire for a long - period, and in that position we witnessed the glorious exploits of our brother soldiers. Shortly after this was fought the Battle of Balaklava, and unfortu nately our allies, the Turks, abandoned their position in a very short time, without maintaining any contact with the enemy. It was late in the afternoon when I received an order to attack the Russian forces posted in the valley, which consisted of a long line of guns drawn up in the form of batteries. I received that order, my Lord Mayor, and I obeyed it. (Loud cheers.) I de livered that order myself to the brigade under my com mand. I ordered them to march. I ordered them to advance. I ordered them to attack the Russians in the valley ; but, my Lord, I must say this, that on that occasion, it being my duty to give the order to my men, I did give it, though I deeply regretted it at the time, and I am sure I should have much more deeply regretted it afterwards if anything had prevented my per forming the rest of my duty, which was to share the dangers that those brave men so boldly faced. (Cheers.) My lord, whatever danger those men incurred, I shared it with them. (Renewed cheering.) We advanced dower a gradual descent of more than three-quarters of a mile with the batteries vomiting forth upon us shells and shot, re zed and grape, with one battery on our right flank and another on the left ; and all the intermediate ground covered !with the Russian riflemen ; so that when we carne to within a distance of 50 yards from the mouths of the artillery which had been hurling destruction upon us, we were, in fact, surounded and encircled by a blaze of tiro, in addition to the fire of the riflemen upon our flenks. As we ascended the hill the oblique fire of the artillery poured upon our rear; so that we had thus A strong fire upon our front, our flank, and our rear. We entered the battery—we went through the bat tery—the two leading regiments cutting down a great number of the Russian gunners in their onset. (Cheers.) In the two regiments which I had the honour to lead every officer, with one exception, was either killed or wounded, or bad his horse shot under him, or injured, Those regiments proceeded, followed by the second line, consisting of two more regiments of cavalry, which con tinued to perform the duty of cutting down the Ru=sian gunners. Then came the third nee, formed of another rel;iment, which endeavoured to complete the duty assigned to our brigade. I believe that this was acieved with great success, and the result was that this body, composed of only about 670 men, succeeded in passing throng the mass of Russian cavalry of (as we have since learned) 5,200 strong; and having broken through that mass, then went according to our technical military expression " threes about," and retired in the came manner, doing as much execution in their course as they possibly could upon the enemy's cavalry. Upon our returning up the hill which we bad descended in the attack, w• had to run the same gauntlet and to incur the same risk from the flank fire of the Tiralleure as we bad encountered before. Numbers of our men were shot down—men and horses were killed, and ninny of the soldiers who had loet their horses were also shot down while endeavour jug to escape. But what my lord, was the feeling and what the bearing of those lave men who returned to the position. (Here the noble and gallant officer's voice faltered, and he spoke with very evident emotion.) Of each of these regiments (he continued) there returned but a small detachment, two-thirds of the men engaged having been destroyed ; and those who survived having arrived at the summit of the hill, whence they had com menced the attack but a short time before, could not ref) ain from giving three ringing cheers of triumph and rejoicing at the exploit which they themselves had per formed—(cheers) —for they had ridden over a formid able Russian battery and attacked a countless body of Russian cavalry in the rear. My lord, I understand it has been stated that the British cavalry are of a very inferior description, and require a thorough reform ; that they are badly officered, being commanded by gentlemen of too high a rank in the country, and that they ought to he better officered. I can only say that Ido not think you will find any body of officers more careful of their men than those officers who now exist, and perform their duties better in the cava'ry regiments, or that you will find any regiments in the world where there is such a mutual attachment between officers and men, as is the case in the British cavalry. The officers are at all times perfectly ready to assist and to attend to the comforts of their men. The men, likewise, are so attached to their officers that, wherever those officers lead them in the cause of honour and glory, there those men are always sure to follow them. (Cheers.) In con clusion, my lord, I will oily say that, in the minds of those who escaped the dangers of that terrible attack to which I have referred, there exist reflections of which they cannot divest themselves. I think that every man who was engaged in that disastrous affair at Bala klava, and who was fortunate enough to come out of it alive, must feel that it was only by a merciful decree of Almighty Providence that he escaped from the greatest apparent certainty of death which could possibly be con ceived. (Loud cheers.) The noble earl (who was also very indistinctly heard) sat down by repeating his ack nowledgments for the honour that had been done him. The health of the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress, and the other customary civic toasts, then followed, after which the company separated. The Peruvian Government steam screw frigate Apuri mac, 50 guns, which has been fitted out by Mr. Green, in the East India Docks, and also the Tombez, steam screw gun-boat, built for the same Government, were hauled into the river yesterday morning, with an admi ral's pennant flying at the main, and will take their departure for the Brazils in the course of to-day or to morrow. TRADE OF THE PORT OF LONDON. —The several dock companies of London lately resolved upon applying to P,rliarnent for a repeal of certain clauses in their acts of incorporation, whereby they are prevented from making charges for dock dues on lighters and other craft enter ing their docks. In consequence of this movement, the I anktrA, merchant'', traders, and others interested iii the trade and port of London, have combined to oppose the bills now before Parliament for repealing those exemptory causes, and a petition to the House of Commons is no w in course of signature in the City prayi n g th eir rejection.
