They indicate that the Peace Party is still power ful in the Cabinet—that the spirit of Peelism still prevails in her MAJESTY'S Government. Lord JOHN could not remain in an Administration where his opinions on such a question were wholly opposed to those of all his colleagues ; nor, even though an assenting party to his own disgrace, would he be permitted to do so unless the con flicting elements were nearly balanced, and there was a strong probability of the others being brought round to his views at no distant period. When starting for Tienna the Noble Lord was well aware of the sentiments of his colleagues, and also of those of the real but irresponsible Prime Minister. He knew that he was expected to clutch at any proposition, however impolitic or injurious to the honour and interests of his country. He did so. The plan deliberately approved of by the Cabinets of Paris, of London, and of Vienna was contumeliously rejected by Russia ; his instruc tions were thereby exhausted ; but notwith standing that fact, and though perfectly cog nisant of the primary duty of a Diplomatist, he felt himself at liberty to state to the Aus trian Minister that " the terms ought to be, and might be accepted, and that he would lay the case before the British Cabinet, and would use his best exertions to put the propositions in such a light that they might hope for their alop tion." Would he thus widely have exceeded his authority, have ventured en such an unparalleled step, unless certain of the most powerful support at home? Would he have thus usurped the func tions of the whole Cabinet, unless convinced that ho was sustained by influence which could not be disregarded! He was certainly over-ruled—the decisive demonstrations of public opinion showed the hesitating Ministers that the conclusion of so ignominious and (to use Lord JOHN'S own language) so " unpopular" a Treaty would be the signal for their own expulsion from office. They would not brave that danger, but they lavished praises on the conduct of their insubordinate colleague, and still wished for his co-operation, al though knowing that he was seeking to obtain that which they did not consider would be a safe or honourable peace ! These circumstances show the imperative neces sity of vigilance and determination on the part of the popular representatives. There are sinister influences in operation that must be brought to light and properly guarded against before the prorogation. We cannot rely on a Ministry so thoroughly imbued with the spirit of Germanism or Coburg,ism when the members of both Houses of Par liament are dispersed in every quarter, and there is no efficient check on the Government, no means of pre venting a disgraceful and injurious compromise. The clue supplied by Lord JOHN RUSSELL should therefore be closely followed up. The labyrinthine windings of Ministerial intrigue should be clearly manifested, and the proceedings of those who, without any constitutional status, and without re sponsibility, control the operations of the Cabinet, be unsparingly exposed. The doctrine 'of Royal impeccability is limited to the person of the SOVEREIGN, and could not protect others from the unpleasant consequences that might follow undue meddling. Why, we ask, have not the papers relating to the last Austrian proposition, of which Lord J. RUSSELL approved and still approves, as yet been produced to Parliament ? Surely no clerk in the Foreign-office is now ill. Such excuses cannot be too often repeated ; and although the discussion that must follow may be inconvenient, Ministers must make up their minds to submit to the in evitable annoyance, and should do so with the best possible grace.

FOR THE THIRD OR LATEST EDITION. In consequence of the abolition of the Stamp Duty on Newspapers the public in all large cities and towns to which parcels are forwarded by the News-Agents, The Sum, which formerly cost Fivepence-half penny for the Latest Edition, containing Parliamentary Debates of the same even ing, together with the List of Army and Navy Promotions in the London Gazette, with Official Despatches from the Seat of War, the Latest Sporting, and all other Commercial News, List of Bankrupts, ctc., can now be had for Fourpence, being a saving of nearly one-third. Hitherto the price of the paper was nomi nally Fivepence, but all Late Editions posted after six o'clock were charged a fee of One Halfpenny by the Post-office, which made the price to the Subscriber 'ivepence-Halfpenny. This charge must still be made to those in remote places, unles s the Postmaster-General have the magnanimity to forego such a paltry source of revenue. Sun-o, e, 112, Strand, London, t l . l July, 1855. Mr. ROEBUCK has given notice that he will this day move a Call of the House for Tuesday the 17th instant. This is as it should be ;it proves the unflinching determination of the Hon. Gen tleman to leave no loop-hole for evasion, but to compel every popular representative, if not to record his sentiments respecting the conduct of Ministers, at least to be in attendance in his place in Parliament, and to have the opportunity of so doing. It is to be regretted that there should have been so urgent a necessity for so doing —that the Hon. Member should be compelled to resort to so stringent a remedy, to awaken his fello►v Repre sentatives .to a due sense of the magnitude of the emergency, and the vast importance of the ques- tion about to be brought under the consideration of Parliament. But no alternative remained. Honourable Gentlemen had already started in, pursuit of their respective hubbies— "By mountain, stream, and sea ;" and even many of those who would be contented to relinquish their personal amusements were yet only too happy to avail themselves of the excuse afforded by the advanced period of the season and the heat of the weather to avoid giving a vote which must either seriously damage their chances of re-election or open an unpleasant prospect of a speedy appeal to the country. Mr. ROEBUCK was therefore compelled to resort to the onerous but efficient instrument that enabled him to enforce the attendance which no sense of duty or of responsibility would otherwise have insured. It is now a cons id era b le period since so decided a step yeas taken, or the " touchstone" that so clearly t ested Parliamentary sincerity was resorted to.

The following important despatch has been re ceived from General Pelissier " SEBASTOPOL, ilav 9. " On the night of the Bth the Russians made a grand sortio against the Mamelon Vert and Rifl© Pits. " The enemy were repulsed with great loss. "The losses of the Allies are very trifling." The startling and apparently inexplicable con duct of Lord JOHN RUSSELL has for the time being attracted public attention to the exclusion of all other topics. That one who was regarded as the boldest and most unflinching advocate of war until an honourable and enduring peace had been conquered Rh onld suddenly become a convert to peace at a ny price, or 4, passing s t range ;" on any conditions , seemed but that a previously, d ur i ng person who bad a long life, maintained an un blemished reputation ex traordinaryshoals dupli c it y was tshoalsbe guilty of such ruly astonishing. It would indeed be incredible on any less con clusive evidence; but the Nob le Lord out of his own mouth, 110 has condemned himself pleaded "guilty," by declaring the nature of his views, at the very time when he made the sp eech W hi c h mainly led to the rejection of Mr. Dis iti ,„ ,s motion, and which went far to appease th e anxiety occa sioned by the vague y e t significant hints given by the Premier as "to the means of peace n o t being as yet exhausted," and the propriety o f " not closing the doors against any honourable solution of the existing difficulty." We now know how imminent was the peril from which we escaped on that occasion. Lord JOHN RUSSELL has, himself told us ; and, how ever incredulous on other matters, we may yield implicit credence to these revelations—that he strenuously urged the acceptance of the Austrian pr o positions, which lie thought—although infe rior to the plan of limitation suggested by the Western Flenipotentiarie.;—" might 1, ~e a mode cf importance so eminently deserves. It is one on which not merely the fate of a Mi nistry, but the welfare, honour, aye, and the stability of the British Empire greatly depend. It will then be decided whether the British Constitution is to be sacrificed to a spurious spirit of Germanism, and whether the popular representatives are worthy of the confi dence reposed in them by their respective con stituents--whether, in fact, they insist on legi timate Parliamentary control, or the irresponsible government of an irresponsible Administration, framed according to the " Coburg" pattern, whose decisions on all points must be received even without remonstrance. It is truly a weighty issue, but we abide the event without fear or misgiving, hoping and believing that the ancient British spirit will be revived, and lead to results befitting the gravity of the crisis. The window-breaking on Sunday seems to have given rise to quite an excited state of feeling among the denizens of Belgrave-square and its vicinity, and to have an importance attached to it which it by no means deserves, and which may be designed, but must not be permitted, to serve as a pretext for measures of undue severity or restriction. The fact is, a few hundred idle and mischievous boys, finding the Park too quiet for their tastes, by some sudden impulse—possibly stimulated by a few designing persons—took their departure and marched in a direction where plate glass was plentiful, the police weak, their visit unex pected, and stones handy. What wonder if the flesh was weak and the young rascals indulged in their riotous humour as they did ? Had a street engine played on them, or a few horsewhips been vigorously and resolutely applied by the idle flunkies and grooms in-doors —in short, had a dozen men like Admiral SEY MOUR been forthcoming, the laughing gamins would have fled to some other locality where the police were in force and ready to disperse them. The greatest wonder of all was the want of man liness we have alluded to in the tenants of the houses assailed ; had they been cool and re solute, the police would have arrived before any mischief had been done. The attempt to fasten blame on Sir GEORGE GREY for the apparent absence of the police is, under all the circumstances, as foolish as it is selfish and unjust. The Home Secretary had learned what some people never will by experience what to do and what to avoid ; and it is not too much to say that had he shown equal discretion on the preceding Sunday no disturbance, and probably no second meeting, would have taken place. This much is quite certain, that in the exasperated state of the popular mind the presence of a large police force on Sunday was in the last degree un advisable, and could only have resulted in blood shed, and a disturbance and fractures, to which • plate-glass breaking were child's play. Property must unquestionably be protected, and such outrages as that on Sunday prevented. There can be no question as to that. But let us have no mischievous exaggeration, nor over-parade of a grievance that for Belgravia's sake cannot be said too little about. Its apparent helplessness looks ugly. Let Belgravia instead take a home les son on the subject. How excited it gets, how injured it' feels, how revengefully-disposed it is when its property is injured. Good gentlemen and sweet ladies, we say, think how a poor man, whose chief property is himself, his liberty, and his enjoyment, must feel when silly young aristo crats presumptuously interfere with both, and do their best, howevrzr unintentionally, to make him miserable. Think of it, and teach it your chil dren. Tellch them what you were not taught— a wholf,some sympathy with their kind—so that good men shall not have to shudder at a gulf so awful as your G. DUNDASES of the present, reveal between you and the people. Do that, and say as little about glass windows as you can. The law will protect yeu for the future. The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Alhambra has taken out 59,558/., principally for Lisbon and Cadiz. The sreecie from New York to-day amounts to 1.60,0r30. The stock-market was steady but inanimate, arv!, the prospects of the harvest were still Very favour able. MONSTER SHELLS.—At the Lowmoor Ironworks, Bradford, there are shells being manufactured for the Government which measure a yard in diameter and weigh upwards of a ton. It is said that the Bank of England have in contem plation the opening of a branch at the West-end, and the Italian Opera House has been named as the probable locale of the new bank. REPRESENTATION or THE CITY.—It is rumoured in the City that Baron Rothschild has assigned over all future interest in his contract with Government ; so that, should he he unseated by the Committee, he will still be qualified as a candidate for re-election. CITY OF LONDON ELECTION.—The select committee appointed to inquire into Baron Rothschild's qualification met again yesterday, and continued the examination of Mr. Wilson, the Secretary of the Treasury. The pro ceedings are still conducted with closed doors. Mr. Bramwell, Q.C., was in attendance to address the com mittee on behalf of the Baron, but the committee, with out absolutely - rejecting the learned counsel's application, decided th , :..t they would not hear him then.

Maule, who has just retired from a judgeship in the Court of Common Pleas, is the oldest Senior Wrangler of Cambridge now living. This is a mistake. There are now living three who are in this respect the seniors of Sir NV. H. Maule, namely, the Bishop of Ely (Dr. Turton), Lord Chief Baron Pol lock, and Mr. Baron Alderson. Dr. Turton was Senior Wrangler in 1805, Sir F. Pollock in 1806, Sir E. H. Alderson in 1809, and Sir W. H. Maule in 1810. THE GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION.—The diorama illus trating the events of the war was yesterday honoured with a visit from the Prince of Walesand Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal and Princess Helena, and the Prin cess Charlotte of Belgium, attended by the C oun t ess d e Bavay, th e H on . C o l one l Phipps, and the Rev. Mr. Gibbs. Their royal highnesses, on leaving the Gallery, expressed themselves to Mr. Stocqueler and the pro prietors much pleased with the exhibition. THE CROPS.—The provincial papers report on the corn and other crops in a most satisfactory strain. The apprehensions which were at first entertained owing to the extreme cold weather, protracted as it was to the end of May, appear to have been dissipated by the warm and genial weather which set in with the month of June. Crops of all kinds, it is now stated, will in general be good, and not much later than usual. UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, LONDON.—At a session of the council, on Saturday last, a donation for the hospital, out of the residuary estate of the late Charles Konig, Esq., was received from Dr, Brown, Mr. Konig's acting executor, and a legacy to the hospital of 5001., by the late Mrs. Caroline Cuming, was announced. The council determined to unite the professorships, hitherto distinct, of Chemistry and Practical Chemistry, and appointed Dr. Alexander W. Williamson, professor of chemistry, as successor to Thomas Graham, Esq., now Master of the Mint. Bunell Lewis, Esq., A.M., Fellow of the College, professor of Latin in Queen's College, Cork, and Edward J. Routh, Esq., A. 8., of St. Peter's Col lege Cambridge, Senior Wrangler, 1854, were n ame d to be examiners with the professors of Latin, Greek, Mathematics, and Natural Philosophy, for the Andrew's Scholarships, to be awarded in October next.

THE CRIMEA. PARIS, TUESDAY, JULY 10, 7.30 A.M. The Moniteur announces that the Minister of War has received the following despatch from General Pelissier JULY 8, 10 P.M. I have nothing new to announce to you to-day. The works of the batteries of Careening Bay are progressing, despite the very heavy fire of the enemy. Every man displays the greatest energy at the work. The Moniteur adds that it results from all the documents received at the War-office, that the number of military men who have fallen on the Reid of battle, or who died in the ambulances and hospitals, in consequence of wounds, cholera, or other diseases, amounts for the army in the East, from its departure from France up to the Ist of June, 1855, that is to say, during a period of 13 months, to 14,205 men, and that, according to reports already received, the number of killed during the recent combats in June may be esti , mated, at the highest, at 2,300. MARSEILLES, JULY 9. The Sinai brings news from Constantinople of the 2d of July, and from the Crimea of the 30th of June. The construction of the French batteries on the old Russian redoubts of Careening Bay was being hastened. It was thought that a general attack upon Se bastopol would take place on the 10th of July. The Patric of this eyening says : It is asserted that on the night of the 7th of July the Russians made a great sortie against the works and positions in front of the Mamelon *Vert, and that they were repulsed with great loss. M. Anglars, who commands the port of Ka miesh, is dead. Advices from Kars of the 16th of June state that the demonstration against that town by the Russians had been repulsed, and that the assail ants withdrew to Agdja-Kaleb. BERLIN, MONDAY, JULY 9. The Russian journals state that an Imperial de- cree orders the governments of South Russia to reinforce as much as possible the army of the Cossacks of the Don, admitting volunteers of all classes. Telegraphic despatches from the Spanish fron• tier, dated yesterday, announce that the brother of the Carlist Chief Marsal had been killed, and he himself escaped, by the speed of his horse, into France. A colonel, 4 superior officers, 18 subalterns, and 1 74 men of the insurgents had crossed the frontier into France. There is good news from Barcelona. The National Guard supports the Captain General. Some persona have been arrested. Order is re-established, or nearly so. The return of the commission sent to Madrid is awaited. FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. The Emperor yesterday received in a public audience M. Victor Herran, Charge d'Affaires of the Republic of San Salvador, who presented to his Majesty letters accrediting him as Minister Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Honduras. The Emperor afterwards gave a private audience to Count de Moltke, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the King of Denmark, who had the honour of presenting M. Berling, Chamberlain of the King, charged to hand to his Imperial Majesty an autograph letter from his Sovereign. The Emperor likewise received Lord Cowley, the British Ambassador, who had the honour of presenting several persons of distinc tion. The Emperor yesterday received the Bureau of the French Academy, who presented to his Ma jesty M. Silvestre de Sacy, the newly-elected Aca demician. The Committee on the Bill for the guarantee of the Turkish loan has appointed M. Lanquetin its president, the Marquis de Caulaincourt vcretarY, and M. Monier de la Suzeranne, reporter. We read in the Constitutionne/:—" The Duke de Serra Capriola, who had been sent by the King of Naples to St. Petersburg to compliment the new Czar, intended taking Paris on his return and visiting the Exhibition, and he had even engaged an apartment in the Rue de Madeleine. However, the Marquis Antonini, the Neapolitan ambassador at Paris, sent one of his attaches to Brussels to meet the Duke, who then changed his route, and did not pass through Paris." A letter from Tunis of the 28th ult. says :—" The embarkation of the troops of the Bey, destined to fill up the voids in the Tunisian corps d'armee in the East, is to take place to-morrow in numerous merchant vessels, chartered for the purpose at Malta and in Italy. The number of the troops is the same as was fixed by Ahmed. Bey about two months before his death ; namely, 1,200 infantry, 200 artillery, and 600 cavalry ; nearly 700 horses are also to be sent. The soldiers, on their arrival in the East, are to be incorporated in the different regiments which are placed under the orders of the Tunisian General Sed Rechid." BOURSE, JULY 9.—CLOSING PRICES.

A letter from Vienna of the sth, in the Lloyd of Pesth, says :—" Among the financial alterations proposed by M. de Bruck, the tariff of salaries of the employes of the finan ce department will, it is said, be raised so as t o b e pl a ced more in propor tion with the increased price of provisions." A letter from Frankfort of the 3d, in the Danube of Vienna, say s :—" A question has been mooted in the Diet which may in the end have a certain importance for the petty German States, both in a financial point of view and as regards their rela lations with the t wo grea t G erm an powers. in virtue of anterior arrangements nineteen petty States are only bo un d t o f urn i s h infantry in the federal contingents, and it is in contemplation to take this privilege from them. It is said that Austria is in favour of this measure, but that Prus. sin wishes to adhere to the old regulation." TURKEY. The Levantine mail, which left Constantinople on the 25th, brings the following intelligence. Ali Pacha has entered upon his functions as Grand Vizier. A great fire has broken out in the dis trict of Yenikapu ; 1,500 houses, 6 mosques, and several magnificent koraks have fallen a sacrifice to the flames. The cholera has again broken out. The n- Corps viinker, of General Vivia n su ff e rs greatly. ~,§ix gunboats--Grinder, Cracker, Jasper, Boxer, and Fancy arrived here, armed with cannons and mortars of long range. They hale all passed up to the Black Sea. We are still without intelligence from the Crimea, and in hourly expectation of some decisive result. THE DANUBE. The Austrian Gazette is informed, from Galatz that a campaign on the Danube and Pruth is ex pected there. M. Lalande, a French engineer, is on his way to Galatz, to inspect the roads in East ern Moldavia, and make a new one from Gr_ . l atZ to Jassy. The ocal authorities have rec 'Jived orders' to place the roads in their district in the best orders• state, and French aver ..`os are making great purchases along the Dar- for the supply of an army. The departur:e of 15,000 Turks from Sills tria for Matchat , "..rld Tultcha is also mentioned as probably connected with the movements which the Allies are said to project. RUSSIA. Letters from Odessa of the 26th ult. state that General Luders has sent the regiments of `Vitebsk and Polosk, numbering together 6,000 men, to the Crimea. The inhabitants are still leaving this place, fearing a bombardment. News has been received there that the cholera has broken out at Simpheropol, Perekop, ar,a. Kherson. The following is an ~ xtract from a letter dated Warsaw, July 4 :—The cholera and other epide mics still rage unabated virulence in this city. The military Hospitals, too, are full of soldiers, a great many of whom are knocked up from the effect of forced marches ; when once these men get into tae hospitals they rarely leave them alive. It ma 7 sound incredible in England, but I mention it P.,S a fact, that the Russian soldiers here are in such a miserable state that they beg alms of passersby, even when standing sentry. (Frain La Presse.) St. Petersburg, June 30. For some days past conversation has turned al most exclusively on certain arrests that have been made not merely here and at Moscow, but also in the Govern men t s o f Great and Little Russia. 9 These rigorous measures are attributed to the discovery of a plot among the Sclavonic party. Among the persons arrested there are four generals in active service, two professors of the Moscow and one of the KieW University. Besides these individuals, O. W****y, son o f a c i-d evant minister, an:d who is well known for his liberal opinions and 'tendencies, has been arrested, and with him, it is also stated, several officers of the army, and even of the Emperor's guards. I will shortly send you more precise and circum stantial details. For the present I only remind you that public opinion here attaches to the discovery of this plot a renewal of certain severities that we witness every day, such as the constant refusal of passports to persons of rank accustomed to spend the summer abroad. A part of this severity, by the bye, consists in the extreme rigour of the censor ship, which obstinately and groundlessly refuses to permit the publication of works that would as suredly have been allowed to appear under the Emperor Nicholas himself. The Frankfort Post Gazette is informed from Warsaw that the troubles in the Ukraine, far from being appeased, daily gain new ground, and extend beyond the Dniester. The peasants commit no ex cesses, but refuse their accustomed labour tax (the corvee), and demand " liberty and land." A corps of light infantry, commanded by a general, has been rapidly moved from place to place, a service of light waggons having been appointed for the purpose, but it has not been able to restore order, as the troops no sooner leave a town or a village than new disorders take place. The Ham burgh News publishes a letter from St. Petersburg which speaks of serious acts of insub ordination said to have been committed by the troops of some regiments of Siberia. Several offi cers are implicated in this movement, and some of them have been reduced to the ranks. A letter from Trieste of the sth states that, in consequence of some disputes as to the rights of pasturage in the districts of Kalumskanaja and Misich, the Montenegrins and the Turks have assembled on the frontier to the number of 3,000 on each side, and were on the point of coming to a serious rencontre. The Second Chamber of the States-General of Holland was prorogued on the sth to the 18th September. In a preceding sitting it adopted a bill which suppressed tonnage dues, and replaced them by an increase of the duty on sugar. The First Chamber is still sitting. The Prussian Moniteur states that the cause of the Prince of Prussia's visit to St. Petersburg is merely to be present at the anniversary of the birthday of the Empress Dowager of Russia his sister. The Madrid journals of the 4th have arrived. The Gazette announces the a rres t o f an ac ti ve Carlist chief called the " schoolmaster," at Colders, in Catalonia. BRAZILS AND RIVER PLATE. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM-SHIP SOLENT. SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 9. The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Solent, Capt. Jellicoe, with the usual Brazilian and River Plate mails, in charge of Lieut. Griffiths, arrived this evening at half-past seven o'clock. The Solent, during the voyage outwards, expe rienced head winds, but on her homeward passage light head winds. She has made an excellent pas sage and accomplished the v o y age i n fi ve d ays within her usual time. The Solent brings mails from the following places, with their respective dates affixed : Buenos Ayres June 2 St. Vincent June 27 Monte Video Rio de Janeiro Bahia Pernambuco Lisbon.. The Solent has 125 passengers. Among them is the Hon. Henry Howard, her Majesty's Minister for the Brazils. She also left 65 passengers at Lis bon. The Solent brings specie to the amount of 9331. Bd. in gold, 52,500 francs French coin, 23,0451. in diamonds, 6,0351. in silver, 7251. in doubloons ; on freight, 76 serous cochineal, 53 serons sarsapa rilla, 260 barrels tapioca, 52 boxes lemons, 4 boxes onions, 155 packages sundries. Ships observed or spoken with.—Passed a screw steamer, rigged, steering to the southward. Ex changed numbers with Peninsular and Oriental ship Sultan, on the 7th. Passed the schooner Mora on the 7th. Also a screw steamer running to the southward. BUENOS AYRES. Business is very flat, and the market, generally speaking, glutted with European manufactures, whilst exports are very limited, and command exorbitant rates, especially hides, &c., caused by the scarcity of cattle, and the almost total suspen sion of the killing establishments, owing to the winter months having set in. In Paraguay confidence is beginning to be re established. At Rio de Janeiro, the Don Pedro Sequinda Railway, recently contracted for by Mr. Price, is about to bo commenced. The construction of this work will be attended with important consequences in the country. Sanitary improvements for the city of Rio are also in contemplation. PERNAMBI7OO. Since the date of our last prices current, the im port business has exhibited nothing of novelty, owing to the non-arrival of suppli es . In the export trade arrivals of sugar continue to be moderate and prices holding up, but it is ex pected that a decline will take place. For the last few days previous to the Solent's departure heavy rains have occurred, which will deter any important arrivals of what may still re main in the interior. The shipments since our last advices have been 814 tons, making the total exports since Ist No vember last 50,422 tons. In discounts the bank rates have ruled from 9 to 8 per cent. In wine small business has been done. In manufactured goods the demand is dull, and prices unremunerating. RIO DE JANEIRO. The transactions of the month were to an average extent. Of articles of import the receipts were, with the exception of coals and flour, excessive. The busi ness generally was moderate. With produce the market was amply supplied. The sales were important. Freights advanced. Money continued in full demand. Exchange declined. Little was done in stock. Specie was lower, and the shares of the several companies were much de pressed. Of coffee the receipts have been abundant, but :he sales have been limited. The departures from the port of London for the Aus tralian colonies during the week have comprised 12 vessels ; four to Sydney, three to New Zealand, two to Port Philip, two to Adelaide, and one to Moreton•bay, with ap aggregate capac i ty o f 9,428 tons. The rates of freight continue to exhibit A heayy APPearslaces. IIiffERNAL MACHINES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The " torpeds" of Fulton, the "invisible shell" of Warner, now the " infernal machine" of the Rus sians, is adopted by them, as a means of defence, against which , , if it b e p roper l y managed, it would be madness res to risk our ships and ;;news ; and it will b e unw i se to suet under !.'eelief that to the purp ose o f d e f ence only mode of warfare is, or will be, confined. In the summer of '44 the late Captain Warner, of "long-range" celebrity, blew up, by way of experiment, a ship, off Brighton, to prove the destructive efficacy of his invisible or submarine explosive shell. The Captain conducted his experiment injudiciously. He, in a steamer, took the ship, to be operated upon, in tow, which gave rise to some suspicion of trickery. Had the Captain turned the ship adrift, under sail, and attacked her as he would an enemy's vessel at sex, and sent her to the bottom, as he doubtless would have done, in a manner too somewhat magical, he would have gained the confidence of the people. But the experiment, con ducted as it was, was unsatisfactory. The Government and the people put down Captain Warner. There were, however, two or three or more indivi duals who chose, in this matter, to inquire and think for themselves, and they were decidedly of opinion that in the then altered state of navigation, by reason of steam power, together with the improved mechanical and chemical appliances of the day, that Captain War ner had not overshot the mark when he declared our monster and costly ships of war to be, for the purpose they were intended, as useless asso many bay stacks I A. period of eleven years has elapsed since the Captain made such a startling assertion. It is now about to be verified. We shall, to our dismay and chagrin, discover that we have paid dearly enough for our incredulity and contempt of an invention we were determined not to examine, but which the Russians have taken in hand. They have adopted the submarine explosive shell under the designation of infernal machine ; the two are not identi cal, though intended for the same purpose—the destruc tion of shipping. The Russians have yet something to learn in the preparation and management of the arm they have adopted ; a perfect knowledge of which they will, however, acquire, for they are not a people to be discouraged by two or more unsuccessful essays. But, in the meantime, the sooner we draw off our large ships from Cronstadt and supply their places by vessels of another description the better, so as to be spared the sorrow of adding to a sacrifice already sufficiently great, by the loss of some thousands of our seamen. July 5, 1855. NAUTICUS. PRINCE GORTSCHAKOFF TO THE GARRISON OF SEBASTOPOL. The Gazette Militaire of Vienna publishes Prince Gortscbakoff's order of the day after the affair of the 18th. The order is couched in the following terms:— "Heights of Inkerman, June 19. "Comrades—The bloody combat of yesterday, and the defeat of an enemy in despair, has again crowned our arms with immortal laurels. Russia owes you her thanks, and she will not refuse them. Thousands of our companions in arms have sealed with their blood the oath which they bad taken, and so have kept safe the word which I gave to the Emperor, our common father. Thanks are given to you for it, comrades ! " Comrades ! Considerable reinforcements are march ing from all parts of our sacred Russia ; they will immediately be with us. Oppose, as you have hitherto done, your manly breasts to the murderous balls of our impious enemies, and die, as thousands of your comrades have died, with arms in your hands in an honourable contest—man against man, breast against breast —rather than violate the oath which you swore to the country—to preserve our Sebastopol. " Soldiers ! The enemy is beaten— driven back with enormous losses. Permit your commander to repeat to you his thanks, in the name of the Emperor our august monarch—in the name of the country, our holy and orthodox Russia. The time is at hand when the pride of the enemy w►ll be overthrown—when his armies will be swept from our territory like straw before the wind. Until then, have faith in God, and fight for the Em peror and country. " This order of the day will be read in each company and in all the horse squadrons of the different bodies of troops. (Signed) "Prince GORTSCHAKOFF." ThE .LIIMALAY.A. SOUTHAMPTON, Monday.—Her Majesty's ship Hima laya, which is now in the new graving dock undergoing repairs preparatory to another voyage to the Crimea, progresses favourably. Artisans are busily employed in every part of the ship. It was only three months since sho overwent an overhaul, but it was found neces sary to dock her again to examine her screw. She has been "payed" over with Peacock'and Buchan's compo sition, which was found to answer so admirably on the last occasion that scarcely a weed adhered to her bottom. The Himalaya will coal and refit entirely at this port, and probably receive her horses here, it having been found on all previous occasions, with this and other ships, the animals can be so easily got on board without the slightest risk. Her fittings in this respect were so substantially erected that they will not require strength ening. Her refit and repairs are superintended by the Peninsular and Oriental Company. To show the convenience and capacity of this new dock, which ever since its completion has been con stantly occupied, sometimes with one vessel, and at others with two, the Himalaya was only two hours and a half from Spithead until the water was drawn off, and she was ready for the workmen inside the gates. This is most gratifying to a rising port like Southampton, and tells wonderfully in favour of the dock company, and their determination to carry on their business with energy and promptitude. DISTRIBUTION OF CRIMEAN MEDALS TO INVALID SOLDIERS BY THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE. Yesterday afternoon his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge delivered the Crimean medal to about thirty invalid and wounded soldiers of the Scots Fusilier Guards (who were unable to be present b.t the recent distribution by her Majesty), at the Military Hospital, Vauxhall bridge-road. Iris Royal Highness was attended on the occasion by his aide-de-camp, Colonel Tyrwhitt, and Colonel Mon crieffe, the commanding officer of the regiment, but the ceremony was of a strictly private character, no one ex cept the recipients being aware of his grace's intention of personally conferring the distinction so nobly earned by these brave and gallant fellows. His Royal Highness has, we are informed, been fre quently in the habit of vi3iting the hospital for the pur pose of inspecting the condition and progress of the sick and wounded soldiers since his return, and the circum stance to which we refer is another striking instance of the warm and genuine sympathy he feels for them, whilst it derives additional force and interest from the fact of his Royal Highness having commanded the Scots Fusiliers (which were included in his brigade) on the memorable heights of the Alma. The Duke, having presented the medal to those men who were sufficiently recovered to assemble on parade, proceeded to the hospital, and handed one to each of the wounded sufferers, who were still confined to their wards, and, in doing so, addressed them in terms of the greatest kindness and the liveliest appreciation of their heroic conduct in the field. Several of the recipients of the honour have served at Alma, Balaklava, and Inker man. INSPECTION OF INVALIDS BY HER MAJESTY. The Queen inspected yesterday afternoon 100 wounded and disabled Guards recently arrived in this country from the Crimea. The men were mustered in the garden of the Palace, and at three o'clock her Majesty, accom panied by his Majesty the King of the Belgians, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the elder branches of the Royal Family, commenced the inspection. 47 Grenadiers, 28 Coldstreams, and 25 Scots Fusiliers were present. Colonel Wood and Dr. Brown, Colonel the Hon. Sir George - Upton aad Dr. Munro, and Colonel Moncrieff and Dr. Richa'idson, the commanding officers and surgeon-majors of the three regiments, attended the Queen, while her Majesty personally inspected every soldier, inquiring about their different wounds, and re ceiving the medical report of the state of the invalids. The inspection being . ended, the Guards were con ducted into the Palace where a plentiful dinner was served to them. THE ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. The last sailing ma t c h o f th e season , g i ven un d er th e auspices of the abova club, took place yesterday, and afforded considerable interest amongst the yachting cir cles of the metropolis. The match was limited to vessels of small tonnage, and was run from Erith to Sea Reach. The following cutters took part in the struggle : Station. Name. Port. Owner's Name. 1... Julia, 7 tons... London W. P. Baine, Esq., M.D. 2... Wave, S tons... Poole Tom Rickman, Esq. 4... Midge,lo tons... London D. P. Gamble, Esq. 6... Chamois, 9 tons . Southton Hon. Cecil Duncombe. Half-minute time per ton allowed for difference of On nage. A. most exciting race terminated in the triumph of the Julia, who, though headed by two seconds by the Midge, was proclaimed the victor in consequence of the time allowed for difference of tonnage. The match of yester day terminated this year's campaign of the enterprising and prosperous Royal Thames Yacht Club. TRIAL OF MR. JEREMIAH SMITH, ER-MAYOR OF RYE, FOR ASSAULT.—Mr. Jeremiah Smith, who was tried and convicted of bribery at the Old Bailey, but afterwarls liberated under an order from the Secretary of State, was last week tried at the Lewis Quarter Sessioutt, in conjunction with another person, named Jas. Robert son, for a common assault. The charge was preferred by Mr. R. S. Henry Payne, churchwarden and overseer, of Playden, near Rye. It appeared that on the Bth of ay the defendant applied at improper hours to see the parish books ; Mr. Payne reluctantly produced them, and directly he did so the defendant roughly seized the books, and threw them into a neighbouring garden, where they were picked up by the other defendant, Robertson. Smith was fined 10Z., and Robertson 401., with an order from the court that the fines must be paid before the defendants left the court. SPORTING NOTES. LIKINGS FOR LIVERPOOL. Mr. Topham is compelled to work hard to sistain the popularity of the Liverpool Meeting. Unaided by the merchant princes of the locality, with begrudged and niggardly pecuniary assistance from the innkeepers, and with efforts occasionally paralysed and counteracted by the caprices of the respected Lord-Lieutenant of the county, he stoutly carries on his undertaking with liberality of expenditure which scarcely insures him what shopkeepers call small profits and quick returns. Stil l, despite the discouraging difficulties which he annually encounters, he invariabiy provides a supply of sport, which for the time being commands the undivided atten tion of the racing community. The programme noW under notice comprises eighteen items, affording ins events per diem, and for the majority of the stakes cow paratively large fields will be brought out, and interest ing races occasioned. The proceedings will commence to-morrow with the Croxteth Stakes, for which the nominations will be made to-night. The Mersey Stakes is likely to intro duce Artillery to the publio--a favourably-mentioned candidate for the " Blue Riband of the Turf." Rumor is busy respecting his racing ability ; some reports, in• deed, state that he is as good as Comfort, at even weights (?) Should Dramatist, however, go to the post. he will severely test the powers of Artillery. Among the nominations for the Lancashire Oaks are Dame Judith, Ellermire, Marchioness, Blooming Heather, Lady Tatton, Capucine, and Bianca. Who' ther the mares that ran first and second for the Oaks will meet on this occasion is at present beyond my ken to determine. Should both go to the post, I shall 1 1 . 94 be surprised to see their Epsom positions reversed. In their absence I shall, perhaps, be induced to place faitk in Ellermire. The race for the United Trainers' Handioap will be only interesting from the fun which it is likely to oocs' sion. For the Bentinck Testimonial Handicap Earll Bird and Exile of Erin are entitled to consideration ; the latter, however, may, after all, be withdrawn. In that case his place in my " fanby " will be occupied II Catherine Parr. Rylstone is disqualified for the Derby Handicap by the death of his nominator, Mr. J. J. Henderson. Should Dervish and the Assayer start they will doubt• less be first and second. Although speculation on the Liverpool Cup has not been remarkably brisk, yet on paper the betting seems good enough. The badness of the handicap caused the acceptornces to be universally insignificant, and the field will doubtless be proportionably small. The following are the must probable starters : Age st lb 1 Age St lb Goorkah lanthe Ammonia Seducer 4 7 5 Cock of the North 3 6 8 Shoreham Cock Pheasant received considerable support yester. day at the Corner, and was at one time unquestionably a better favourite "for money" than Shoreham. That he is an animal of moderate stamp only his performances fully attest, yet frequent proofs have been afforded of his gameness and his staying qualities. If sound a nd well, I shall be inclined to trust him on the present occasion, for he has the best of the weights, and will not meet an opponent of vastly superior pretensions. The manner in which Shoreham has been occasionally ope rated upon has excited suspicion. If, however, his chance be considered, independently of the movements in the turf market, its formidableness will be apparent. On paper he looks the most dangerous of Cock Phea sant's opponents. Expectations are entertained of Ammonia's ability to repeat last year's achievement ; I, however, do not share in them. Bianca receded immensely in the betting yesterday; she must be greatly improved since last year to possess a chance of carrying off the stake. The eagerness with which Seducer was backed on Saturday caused him to be advanced promi nently into notice. I, however, scarcely deem him ca pable of conceding a year to Cock Pheasant. Goorkah seems " quiet "in the market. Still should he be in tended for this event, I shall regard him with some par tiality. It is said that he is now as good as ever he was. The three animals which I shall " stand on " against the field are Goorkah, Cock Pheasant, and Shoreham. The "absolute" winner will, I anticipate, be COCK PHEASANT. For the Eglinton Biennial Stakes I shall select Corse• bus. In his default, Benharns will perhaps pull throagh• If sound and well Morgan La Faye may win the Pro duce Stakes. Should she, however, be an absentee ilattcraiok may bo capable of getting his bead first past the winning-post. So little is at present known respecting the probable starters for the Licensed 'Vic tuallers' Plate that I can only indicate a lot " well in," and must leave the reader to belect the winner when he sees the numbers on the telegraph board. Casting ref eye over the Handicap, my attention is arrested by the following names :—Vindex, 5 yrs, Bst 21b ; Early Bird, 4 yrs, (including 101 b extra) Bst 21b; Dervish, 4 yrs, Bst ; Orson, 4 yrs, 7st 41b ; Octavio', 6 yrs, 7st 21b ; Ellermire, 3 yrs, Est ; Maid of Cadiz, 3 yrs, (including 51b extra) sst 81b. The Liverpool St. Leger will doubtless be placed is Corcebus's list of winnings.—Nuf ced. July 10. A FRESH MAN. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) ABSENCE OF COUNSEL. The Lord Chancellor took his seat in his court in the Old Hall, Lincoln's-inn, to-day, at half-past 10 o'clock, the hour specially appointed. At this time not a single counsel in any of the cases on the paper were present. His lordship ordered the cases to be called on in order,f but no counsel appearing in any of them, after he had patiently waited upwards of a quarter of an hour, his lordship ordered all of them to be struck out of the paper, observing, with some warmth, that that was the only course left in consequence of the neglect of counsel in their attendance. His lordship then left the hall, and it was generally supposed the court had risen for the day ; but Mr. Roundell Palmer and Mr. Lloyd having found time to come from the other courts in which they were engaged into the court of the Lord Chancellor, it was intimated to his lordship that such was the case, and he, with a consideration that would never have been adopted by his great predecessors, and with an anxiety that the public time should not be wasted in consequence of the multifarious occupations of counsel, returned into court, and the part-heard appeal from the judgment of the Master of the Rolls, of Rogers v. Rogers, was pro ceeded with, and occupied his lordship to his rising. This being the fourth seal the other equity courts took appeal motions and motions, but nothing of interest occurred in any of them. The Master of the Rolls gave judgment in the camel of 0 vrett v. Corser and Bourne v. Shaw, the points in whioh were of value only to the parties concerned. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, GUILDHALL. (Before Lord Campbell and a Special Jury.) THE QUEEN V. HANDCOCK. This action, which came on for hearing on Saturday, was brought to a close yesterday afternoon. The ques tion in dispute was an alleged infringement of a paten' for the manufacture of india-rubber, the invention being what was termed "cold resistance," which gives to the article that solidity to fit it for purposes of ornament and use. The point was of the utmost importance to the defendant, who belongs to the well-known firm of Mack intosh and Co. It was contended by the prosecution that the invention belonged to a Mr. Goodyear, of America, and known in this country before the defen dant took out his patent, and that consequently the lat ter's patent ought to be repealed for want of novelty. Lord Campbell, in summing up, asked the jury whether they believed that at the time Mr. Ilandcock took out his patent be bad himself discovered this improvement in the manufacture of india•rubber. If they thought so► they must find their verdict for the defendant ; if not, then they must find their verdict for the prosecution. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. CALL OF THE ITOUSE OF COMIONEL—It will be seen from our Parliamentary intelligence that Mr. Roebuck has given notice that he will move for " a call of the house" on Tuesday, July 17, the day appointed for his motion of censure on the government in reference to the Crimean expedition. Many years have elapsed since a "call" was made. Those who heard or have read the celebrated debates on Catholic emancipation will be familiar with calls of the house, arising from the frequent motions to that effect by Sir Francis Burdett ; but members of Parliament of only 11 few years' standing have never been subject to the " call," and are scarcely acquainted with the pains an d penalties, which are the result of disobedience. T ° ; n i g ht (Tuesday) Mr. Roebuck will move that there shall be a call of the house on the 17th inst., and if the motion be agreed to every memb er w h o h as not prev i ous ly ob tained leave of absence from the house must be in bi o seat. On assembling the names of the members will be called, and those who do not answer will be taken into custody by the Serjeant-atsArms and lodged in prison so soon as that high Parliamentary functionary, who is at once the executive and the ceremonial officer of the house, can lay his hands upon them. From duralw e vile they will be brought to the bar of the house, whe tre they will be called upon to make the amende l u mordbl for th e i r con t umacy an d to pay a trifle in the way ° fees. A "call" is one of the most interesting and c citing scenes the House of Commons ever wituipaeo. t hat t Cont a i liquid declin e sol ved 11 a 1 ta a 1 cent. i ii*- ( ' eat 3 Por .
