The election of a member for the borough of South wark, in consequence of the acceptance of the office of Colonial Secretary by Sir W. Molcsworth, took place this day, at the Town-hall, a large number of elcctors being present. The HIGH BAILIFF having opened the proceedings in the usual manner, Sir W. MoLEswor,TH came forward ald spoke as Gentlemen,—l assume that you are satisfied with my conduct, and that I hava not misrepresented you in the House of Commons. There, gentlemen, I have endeavoured, to the best of my abilit'es, to fulfil my promises to you, and to give effect to my un changed political opinions. What those opinions are I have told you so often that I will not weary you with repeating them. Bat I may say that my votes for free trade, extension of the suffrage, the bal lot, religious liberty and equality, abolition of church rates, and colonial self-government, prove that my convictions have not been, and will not be, changed by holding high office in the government of this country. Gentlemen, with your permission, I will confine the few observations which I have to address to you to the subject in which we are all most deeply interested at the present moment. Gentlemen, we are now engaged in a stern and arduous contest—in a must just and righteous war. Alas, that ever such a war should be necessary. Would that the progress of knowledge and civilise tion among the nations of the earth had rendered it impossible for the rulers of mankind to do those deeds of violence and wanton aggression which at times make war inevitable, and render it both just and necessary. Gentlemen, I am convinced that this war is both just and necessary, and there fore it is a popular war among the thinkirg and reflect ing people of this country. France and England em barked in the straggle for no petty personal interests ; no miserable selfish ends; Ur:; for great and noble objects—to defend the weak and to humble the pride of the strong ; to prevent the dange aus aggeandise ment of Russia at he expense of the Ottoman Empire, an aggrandisemer. that menaced the liberty, the commerce and cie "isation of Western Europe. France and England also took up arms to punish Russia for her wanton violation of the European law of nations ; to teach her that she could not, with im punity, disregard the rights and liberties of weaker States, and to prove to her that France and England were determined to curb her insolent and aggressive spirit. These, I say, were the objects for which we drew the sword—we drew it aster long and fruitless negotiations, which showed our earnest desire to main tain the peace of the world ; for France and England, conscious of their strength, were conciliatory and for bearing, as along as honour vs ould permit them to be so. But all in vain, nothing but brute force would compel the Czar to quit his hold, and desist from his designs on the Ottoman dominions ; therefore, sooner or later, a war with Russia was inevitable. It could not have occur red at a moment more favourable to the cause of progress and evilisation ; for the two great nations of Western Europe, France and England, were firmly united, and since the commencement of this war they have become more firmly united. Their gallant sons—associated in the tent, the ship, and the field, enduring the same hardships and en countering the same perils by sea and by land—have learnt to respect, admire, and love each other. And France and England, firmly united in the cause of pro gress and civilisation, must triumph over the barbari ans of the north, and will be, if need be, more than a match for the world in arms. May nothing ever dis turb that alliance, so advantageous to the two coun tries, and so beneficial to mankind. Woe, then, unto those who would separate England from France. Woe unto those men—the worst enemies of this country — who, by their arts, intrigues, and machinations, would, for party and selfish objects, break our engage ments with France, and would sow dissension between us and our allies. Be certain, gentlemen, that if this war should ever be brought to a discreditable ter mination ; that if, unhappily, for the honour, for the safety, for the integrity and repute of the British em pire this war should end in a recreant and dishonour able peace, that peace will never be the work of my noble friend Lord Palmerston, or of Lord Palmer ston's Government ; but it will be the act of those fac tions who clandestinely combined the other night to break our engagement with France on the subject of the Turkish loan—l mean the peace party, the Peelites—the more unscrupulous portion of the opposi tion, and some few unreflecting Liberals w ho formed an ambuscade last Friday night to surprise the Govern. ment on the question of the Turkish loan. I shudder even now at the thought of the success of their nefari ous enterprise, which a mere accident defeated. If it bad succeeded, Turkey would have lost the loan which was indispensable for the maintenance of her army and for the eigorous prosecution of the war • the war would have been stinted and starved ; and France would have been justly offended at the fickleness of our conduct, and would have ceased to have faith '1 our e isurances. These evils, of enormous wee- nitude, a portion of the opposition were prepared to encounter, thereby giving the lie to their warlike pro fessions and to their pretended zeal for the French alli ance, and showing that for the sake of annoying a po litical antagonist, or of obtainin o. office, they were ru iy at any moment to peril ' the safety of their country and the honour of the crown. I there fore denounce the conduct of those men and their want of patriotism, as deserving of the severest censure and condemnation from all persons and all parties who have the interest and honour of their country at heart, and who do not wish that we should stand alone in this mighty struggle without a friend or ally. If in the opinion of the Opposition we had done wrong in making that engagement with Turkey and France, they should have endeavoured to dismiss us with contumely and censure from office, or to impeach us, but they should have ratified our engagement, and should not have endeavoured to make this country appear to fo reign nations to be in a state with whom no engage ments can be safely concluded, and on the word of whose agents no reliance can be placed. I will say no more with reference to this most discreditable pro ceeding on the part of the Opposition, but will turn to the subject of the general conduct of the war. Gentle men, in the immediate conduct of this war , F rance and England have had three chief objects to accomplish —lst, to prevent the Russian armies from marching upon Constantinople, and dismembering the Turk ish empire ; 2d, to prevent the Russian fleets from injuring the trade and commerce of France and Eng land ; and third, to strike such a body blow at Rut sic as would compel her to desist from her designs upon the Ottoman dominions. The two first of these objects have been accomplished ; and I be lieve that with energy, coinage, and perseverance, all three of them will ultimately be accomplished. To accomplish them, magnificent fleets, the like of which the world had never seen, have been sent to the Baltic and the Black Sea. Vast armies, amply supplied with all the munitions of war, have been landed in the Crimea. They have done deeds of great valour, and the result has been that not a Russian soldier is to be found on the soil of European Turkey ; not a - Russian ship, either merchantman or man of war, navigates the Baltic or the Black Sea, or the Sea of Azoff. The mercantile marine of Russia has ceased to exist on the ocean, and her famed fleets have been sunk or condemned to cowardly idleness. The third object would have been accomplished, and I hope will still be accomplished, by the taking of Sebastopol. With regard to the expedition to the Crimea, her Majesty's Government have been accused of rashness for having agreed, after full and careful deliberation with the Emperor of the French, that in spite of "timid counsels," that the expe dition should be undertaken. You must remember, gentlemen, when, long after the siege of Sebastopol had commenced, it was indgnc. .tly denied that any English commander, either naval or military, had disapproved that expedition ; and it was stated on the highest authority, that the phrase, " timid counsels," was intended to apply only to the differences in the councils of our Allies. Now, gen tlemen, I must say I never doubted of the wis dom of the expedition to the Crimea, or that it was undertaken at the right period. We should bee 7 in mind that war is like unto a game of hazard, in which the skilful player will run a great risk for the sake of a great gain, provided that the amount of the gain bear a due proportion to the probability of the loss from the risk run. I admit that the expedition to the Crimea WP 4 a risk, but the gain from success would have been enormous, for the Crimea was the only place where Russia was really vulnerable. We might have sent our armies to the Principa lities—we might have crossed the Pruth, and in vaded Bessarabia. We might have fought battle alter battle, and gained victory after victory, yet nothing of real importance would have been accomplished as long as the Russian fleet safe, in Sevastopol, continued to menace Turkey, ready at any moment to issue forth from that stronghold for purposes of aggression. Yet the capture of Sevastopol and the accompanying destruction of the Russian fleet would at once have accomplished one of the great objects of the war, and put an end to the preponderance of Russia in the Black Sea. Therefore, though the expedition to Sebastopol was a risk, the amount of gain from success fully justified, in my opinion, the incurring that risk. I am, therefore, prepared willingly to bear my full share of any censure or blame that may be cast upon Lord Aberdeen's Go vernment for having decided upon that expedi tion. Ido not repent me of that decision ; for I still feel convinced that with energy, courage, and perseverance, succ ess will crown our arms and re pay our losses, and that history will pronounce the expe dition to the Crimea to have been wise and prudent. Gentlemen, I have now explained to you my views on the subject of this war. I repeat that it is a just and neces sary war, and that it is the duty of the Govern ment of this country to carry on the war, in hearty union with our allies, and with the utmost vigour and energy, until the great objects of the war are accomplished. I know the sentiments and opi nions of my noble friend Lord Palmerston on the sub ject. lam convinced that he knows his duty, and will do his duty to the people and Sovereign of this empire ; that, he will reject, as he has without hesitation rejected, any dangerous or insufficient proposals for the termina tion of the war •, and that no Government of which Lord Palmerston is the bead will ever consent to any peace which is not both safe and honourable. The hon. baronet was returned without opposition. The proceedings then terminated. [The arrangements made by the authorities, for the accommodation of the public, was molt diegreeo,l RAILWAti.

On the order of the day for going into committee on this bill, Mr. GLADSTONE said he did not intend to raise any objection to the bill at this stage of the measure, yet he believed an impression had gone abroad, from its second reading passing yesterday in silence, that it was better to accept the measure rather than run the chance of incurring certain inconveniences. (Hear, hear.) if they had taken powers in the bill to modify the conven tion with Turkey they would have got rid of the pro spective dangers which he then confidently told them they would hereafter incur with France. "ear, hear.) The Government had not thought fit to pay the least at tention to the speeches of the large number of gentle men who opposed the measure at the first stage, and they had not thought fit to pay any atten tion to the unanimous disapproval of the measure manifested by the house. He wished to know if the convention had been submitted to the law officers of the crown, and if so, he should claim his right as a member of that house to ask for the opinion they gave on it. We were undertaking to guarantee, con jointly with France, the interest of five millions sterling to be lent to Turkey, but the French version of it was conjointly and severally. He thought when two parties entered into a joint and several liability each was liable, but be believed that v.as not the case in this convention. He believed that an instt ument of this kind, which was novel in international loans, should be accompanied by full explanations. He found that the interest of the loan was to be transferred by the Sultan to the Bank of England, and that the proc , cis of the loan were also to be paid into the Bank of England. Now, if that was so, he wanted to know were the sub-cribers to the loan to have a light to receive their money at the Bank of England ? (Hear.) He saw an hon. member near him, the member for Bath (Mr. Tite) who had lately come into the house pledged to support administrative reform, and he wanted to know if they were not by such a mea sure as this making, when they ought to be making at least a snail's progress in administrative reform, only a crab's progress and going backwards. (Hear, hear.) [LEFT SITTING.] TILE LATE DISTURBANCES IN HYDE PARK. INQUIRY INTO THE ALLEGED MISCONDUCT OF THE POLICE.-(THIS DAY.) The Commissioners took their seats this morning at 20 minutes past 11 o'clock. Police-sergeant 12 A was the first witness called. He stated ho had been upwards of eleven years in the ser vice, and five years a sergeant. He took Adam Holding into custody on Sunday, Ist July (the man sitting on a heap of earth with his wife read ing the Family Herald). The fcece acted on this occasion in clearing the drive as they did at races and other public places ; such as flourishing their truncheons over the heads of the front rank to in duce those behind to move back. No doubt some person's hat might have been struck; it was the case on other occasions, and then the public took it in good part. It was necessary some times to assume an attitude of determination to intimidate the people and induce them to keep back. Holden was apprehended in consequence of his hooting and yelling, and flourishing a paper about, and calling on the people not to allow him to be taken into custody. His conduct was so violent he had to be handcuffed. Witness denied that the man taken from the Serpentine was struck in the yard of the re ceiving-house. The police did not strike at the people as bad been described. Witness struck no one that day. He did not throw a delicate young man over the rails, as spoken to by Mr. Sims. Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—The police always draw their truncheons when they act in a body. He was unable to say who gave the order for the truncheons to be drawn. He could not see how a prisoner could be irritated at having handcuffs put on him. He did not consider this a serious case as regarded the police, although by the 14th clause of the Metropolitan Police Act, if the charges were proved against the men charged, they would be liable to a fine of 101., or imprisonment for a limited period. By Chief Commissioner Wortley—The usual manner of flourishing the truncheons was likely to mislead people at a distance, and induce them to imagine the people were being struck. Mr. Herbert Williams, superintendent of the Royal Humane Society, was at the r eceiving-house on the Ist July. He did not see the man, brought from the Ser pentine struck in the yard. He was not bleeding. Witness heard no violent language used by the police. He saw many persons take stones crom the heap near the receiving-house and put Clem into their pockets ; the police then made a rush and drove the people away. Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—He WI'S only in the yard about 10 or 15 reroutes. A mistake had been made in confounding the receiving-house with the park keeper's residence, where the pr,soners were taken, and the statement of Henbery, the pa-k-kei3per, as that of the Royal Humane Soc'ey's man, who in consequence had been subject to mucl annoyance. The stones were not considerably diministed. He saw several respec'e.ble people break through the police ; it was principally mechanics who resisted them, Re-examined by Mr. Ellice—He saw some stones thrown in the direction .f Superintendent Hughes from the crowd behind. 20 D was identified by Mr. Floyd as the man who struck him when he was held by three other policemen. He was also identified ty Mr. Couchman. Inspector Durkin sale he was 39 years of age, and had been in the force nearly 20 years. The man who was taken from the Serpen t ne was very violent before he got into the water. The man was intoxicated. He found his reasoning with the people had great effect. There were some obstinate people who would not listen to reason. He cautioned the men against striking the people, and he did not see them strike any one when flourishing their truncheons to cause the people to stand back. He used great forbearance that day, and impressed it on the men. He saw Superintendent Ilughes repeat edly, but did not see hin strike any one during the day. Mr. Mitchell said he witnessed his forbearance. 377 A took the" wet man" into custody.. He was ver y violent, and it took four men to take him to the D airy-lodge. He saw no one strike him, nor any blood about him. Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—Referring to a copy of the magistrate's clerk's notes, he asked the witness if he did not state before the magistrate at Marylebone street, in reference to Mr. Ma.;r's case, "that, being a gentleman, if be had gone to the superintendent he might have got off by making an apology ?'' Witness said he did not. 72 D went with the " wet man " in a cab to the sta tion. The man's nose was bleeding when he first saw him at the dairy lodge. He did not see any one strike him. Witness struck the man in the cab with his I truncheon in self-defence. [LEFT SITTING.] BOW STREET- :THIS DAY). STEALING WATER-PIPE. Mary Crawley was placed at the bar, charged with stealing the water-piping from a house in Milford-lane. From the evidence of Mr. Macey, the owner of the house, it appeared that at about half-past nine o'clock this morning one of the lodgers in the house came to him at his premises at Milford-wharf, and told him he had detected a woman stealing the lead piping from the back kitchen. On going to the house he found about two yards of the pipe conveying the water to the cistern bad been cut off, and the water was rushing with great force from that part of the pipe out of the reach of the prisoner. The woman at the bar, about a month ago, came to him, and having told him she had taken a room in one of the houses, the key of the door was given to her, and shortly aaer he discovered that a piece of lead about three yards square had been cut from the roof of the house. Within the last three months he had had the whole of the leaden piping of eight houses stolen. Ile had no doubt as to the p risoner being the woman to whom he gave the key , and her representing that she had taken the room in one of his houses of Mrs. Mace y . The prisoner denied being in the p remises with a felonious purpose. The magistrate said this syst em of robbery was getting qu ite common, and must be p ut a sto p to if possible. Before he made up his mind what he should do with her, he should order her to be remanded for a week in order to give the police time to make inquiries about her. MAGISTERIAL BUSINESS AT THE M ANSION - HOUSE. — On Wednesday, at a Court of Aldermen, the Lor d Mayor g ave notice of his intention to move at t he next court that a rota be established, s imilar to that at the Guild hall Police-court, by which the aldermen wou ld b e ap pointed to transact the mag isterial busine ss a t th e Man sion-house. The time of the chief magistrate, he ob served, as so occupied by the business of the great city charities, and by important meetings connected with the corporation, that it bad become impossible for him to devote any portion of his attention to the justice room. Alderman Farebrother said the proposed motion was not at all likely to be carried. Several other mem bers also spoke in opposition, urging that the magisterial office was a peculiar and strong characteristic of mayor alty, and could not be dispensed with without danger to tie privileges of the court of which the Lord Mayor was the principal member. Sir Peter Laurie said be could well remember that in his mayoralty-27 years ago—a great deal more business of importance was trans acted in the justice-room than had been done of late Yom.

Lord Panmure has this day received two despatches an d their enclosures, of which the following are copies, ad dressed to his Lordship by Lieutenant-General Simp eon, Commanding her Majesty's Forces in the East. Bofcre Sebastopol, July 14, 1855. My Lord, —I announced to your lordship, by tele graph on the 11th, the death of Lieutenant-Colonel Vico, of the French Army, which melancholy event t.3 , 3k place on the afternoon of the 10th inst. It is impossible for me to find words to express my r egret at this sad visitation. Lieutenant-Colonel Vico joined the English army as joist Commissioner the latter end of May, 1854, and bad, up to the time of his death, never been absent from his duty for a single day. At Varna, where the cholera raged, and carried off hundreds--at the landing of the Allied armies at Old Fort—at the Bialganac, where his colleague, Lieutenant-Colonel de Lagondie, was taken prisoner, and from which tir se he had the sole charge of the communications between the French and English head-quarters—at the glorious battle of Alma—at that of Balakiava—at they stern and bloody fight of Inkerman—in fact, at every plrice, and on every occasion, where he thought his ser vioes could be of use—was Lieutenant-Colonel Vico to be found. I know that the late Field• Marshal Lord Raglan held hint in the highest estimation, and placed the most im plicit confidence in him ; and although my acqua i n t ance hid, comparatively speaking, been but a short one, it bad been long enough for me to appreciate the many excel lent qualities with which he was endowed. A pious Christian, a brave and gallant soldier, a sin gle-hearted, upright man, a kind and generous one, who thought no personal sacrifice too great for the public good, he has gone from us, beloved and regretted by every Englishman who had the advantage of knowing him and enjoying his friendship. I hade, &c., JAMES SIMPSON, Lieutenant-General Commanding. The Lord Panmure, &c. Before Sebastopol, July 14, 1855. My Lord,—l have the honour to transmit the nume rical and nominal returns of casualties in this army, from the 9th to the 12th instant. Captain Maunsell, of the 39th Regiment, who was killed in the trenches on the 10th instant, was ' most gallant and meritoriouq officer, and his loss is much re gretted. I enclose also the return of casualties in the Naval Brigade on the 10th instant, the day we opened fire upon the Redan, considering which circumstance your Lord ship will rejoice to find that the list is not heavier ; the two men who are returned as killed, and wounded dan gerously, respectively, received their injuries by the ac cidental bursting of the guns they were serving. The weather, which had been oppressively hot since the date of my last despatch, has since changed to a far cooler and more agreeable temperature. The health of the army continues good, and their con fidence and cheerfulness is unabated. There has been no change in the disposition of the allied troops since my last despatch.—l have, &c., JAMES SIMPSON, Lieutenant-General Commanding. The Lord Panmure, &c. Enclosure 1.

The Military Secretary to his Excellency the Commander of the Forces. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN. The directors of this company have resolved to recom- mend to the proprietors, at the general meeting on the 10th August next, that the dividend for the half-year ending 30th June, 1855, be at the rate of V. 7s. 6d. per cent. per annum on the capital. BRIGHTON. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes terday, at the Bridge-house-hotel, London-bridge — Mr. L. Schuster in the chair. The report, the mat er i a l p or ti ons o f w hi c h h ave appeared in our columns, having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN proceeded to address the shareholders. Ho said—ln addressing to you a few observations on the state of the company's affairs, I hope for your indulgence, and that a due allowance wi'l be made for the peculiar position in which I present myself to you. (Cheers.) You have been accustomed to be addressed by a gentleman so highly qualified to report upon your affairs, and, at the same time, so able to convey to you his remarks in a lucid manner, that you must permit me to say that I cannot for a moment presume to acquit myself of the duty I have to perform in a manner at ali approaching to the admirable half-yearly address that he made to you. (Hear, hear.) But I can only say that I will, in the short statement I have to make to you. do my best to acquaint you, as it is my earnest desire to do, with the real position of this un dertaking. The lot which has fallen on my shoulders has not devolved upon me, I must be allowed to say, in auspi cious times, because I have to commence my statement by explaining to you that the revenue account exhibits for the first time dining a considerable period, and I am sorry to say it, a falling-off. We are, I believe, something like 8,278/. below in our receipts the take for the corresponding period of last year. But while I mention this, I have the satisfaction of telling you that this decrease of revenue is not only capable of explanation, but that in fact it proves the vitality of the concern in which we all are so deeply in terested. The falling-off of the revenue in reference to the re ceipts for the corresponding period of last year arises prin cipally from the diminution of the number of passengers to the Crystal Palace, that is, before the works were completed, because it is a known fact, before the Palace was opened, not only a groat numlser of work-people employed upon the construction of the works travelled over the line, but that also a great many people connected with the buildings in the course of erection in the neighbourhood—and they were considerable—inalle use of our railway. I may here mention that the traffic at several stations between Lon don and Croydon has, during the last half-year, shown a considerable decrease, and I may instance those of Syden ham and Anerley stations, where the falling off has been somewhat extraordinary. I find from returns in my hands that the traffic between Forest-hill, Sydenham, and Anerley stations was, for the half-year ending the 30th of Juno, 1852, 7,4331. Now for the half-year ending the 30th of June, 1853, the receipts were 12,27431., while for the half-year of 1854 they were 17,8621. For the last half-year the receipts were 9,332/. ; but you must permit me to ob serve that for the half-year of 1852 the receipts were previ ous to the works at Sydenham—the receipts were 7,433/., so that the traffic at those stations had increased 2,0001. (Hear.) I think you will consider this satisfactory, and especially when you bear in mind that the source of traffio has been decreased simply from the stoppage of works in the neighbourhood, and the decrease of the number of persons employed on the works of the Crystal Palace. The total decrease in our revenue amounts to 8,5001. The decrease in the goods traffic is 3,00)'. The greatest part of that de crease has reference to the material carried for the con struction of the Crystal Palace. (Hear.) The next, and ' not the least, subject for your consideration is our expen diture. You will find, notwithstanding that we have run an increased number of miles for the accommodation of the Crystal Palace traffic, that we have reduced our expenditure by 6,0001. or 7,0801. This arises in a great measure from the improved state of the road, of which we have nearly 60 miles of fish-jointing. We have placed to the debit of locomotive expenses 6,0001. for the half year for renewals, and this includes two engines not sub stituted for old ones. With respect to the capital ac count, we believe we see the time approaching when we can take advantage of the 50,009!. ur 'ssued stock, so as not to bring upon us a charge of more than 4 per cent. We have no new schemes. I may say that I am net a friend to the finality of capital, and I am qrita certain that the measures we shall recommend to you will not involve any expenditure on capital account that shall not be absolutely necessary for increased accommodation, and, consequently, produce increased receipts. With re spect to the Crystal Palace receipts, I may observe that they were for the last half-year 19,0001. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) And now I have to offer a few observations with reference to the opening of the East Grinstead line. I be lieve that the traffic will be exceedingly remunerative to this company; and if I required any fact to prove this to you, it is shown in the amount of traffic we have had upon it. (Hear.) You will scarcely believe the fact, that while the price of coals was 40s. per ton at East Grinstead, they could be purchased at the station six miles and a half from it at 245. 6d., and I have no hesitation in saying that, pay ing as we do 2,0001. per annum for the traffic of the line, we shall secure a very remunerative return. (Hear.) I must confess that the traffic on the line has quite sur prised me. From the 9th of July to the 21st (the goods traffic being from the 9th to the 19;1 only) produced 3021., and when it is borne in mind that the traffic of a line is seldom developed under a period of four or five years, and. that we have the power of purchasing the line, six miles and a half in length, for 50,6001., I am sure you will think with me that the Brighton Company will not be at, all injured by its connection with the East Grinstead Railway. (Hear, hear, hear.) We have mentioned to you in our report that we have entered inte arrange ments for a communication with the Commercial Dock Company, which will not entail upon us a single shilling of expense ; and when I mention to you that they have very large warehouses, and that they will no doubt have sufferance wharves, you will, I think, agree with me that we shall derive a considerable amount of traffic from that source. We also expect, and very reasonably, an increase of traffic from our connection with the Deptford dockyard, through which we shall be enabled to transport from that arsenal to Portsmouth, without any transference, all the materials of war. I must now touch upon a point peculi arly interesting to all of you—that is the award given by Mr. Seymour Clarke in reference to the unfortunate acci dent at Croydon. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") I listened I to the evidence on both sides, and to the " summing up," and all I venture to say here is, that I was astonished be yond measure at the award that was given. The directors have been advised that the amount awarded against them should be paid out of the current receipts. He then moved the adoption of the report. The motion was seconded by Mr. CROWLEY. Considerable discussion 'took place in reference to the award of Mr. Seymour Clarke, but nothing at all requiring any detailed notice transpired, and the report having been unanimously adopted, a vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings of the day. THE NEW BEER ACT. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE. Yesterday the committee re-assembled at the usual hour ; Mr. BERKELEY in the chair. There was a full attendance of members to consider the report, and of the public, in the expectation of hear ing it ; but its purport did not transpire. The com mittee remained in deliberation until nearly three o'clock, and ultimately agreed to report to the following effect : "The committee find that, owing to th e late period of the session at which they were appointed, and the short time still remaining at their disposal, it has been impossible to carry the inquiry to its full extent.

THE HARVEST IN IRELAND. — The following very satis. factory harvest report appears in the Limerick Re porter, received this morning :—" Never was there more glorious promise of an early and plentiful harvest. We have specimens of splendid wheat, nearly ripe, from the farm of R. F. Goff, Esq., near Castle Connell ; we have reckoned 80 grains in one of the ears. Potatoes are healthy and good, and the yield promises to be most fruitful. This day has been exceedingly hot after a night of rather 12017 rain." 30 25 20 all 20 10 20 35 Si 86 7 66i 7
