On the order of the day for the second reading of this bill,ir J. PAIC INGTON rose and said he had not in. tended to offer ary observations on this stage of the bill, but be believed the object of the bill was very much misunderstood, and he therefore hoped he might ask the favourable attention of the house to a measure which it might be thought presumptuous in him to bring in, but which he had at all events introduced with singleness. of purpose. His great object was to provide extended and religious education to the population of this country on the most complete system of toleration with regard to the great principle of liberty of conscience. The machinery of the bill would be conducted by grants of public money, to be expended by local boards duly responsible to this house. He had to make one earnest appeal to the house to give their vote for the bill on those great prin ciples without respect to matters of detail, which could be only fitly discussed at a subsequent stage of the bill. All the existing schools in this kingdom were connected either with the Church of England or the great denomi national bodies of the country. The population had during the last half-century i ncrease d wonderfully ; but it was undeniabl e th a t th e Church bad failed to keep pace with their religious instruction, and if the dissenting denominations had not stepped in that population would be in a far worse state of igno rance than unfortunately they now were. (Hear.) He did not think it necessary now to detain the house further than to move that the bill be read a second time Mr. HENLEY rose to move an amendment that the bill be read a second time this day six months. It wae because he felt most deeply that if the house were to affirm this bill, the result would be not only that i; would not extend education at all, but most of all that it would not extend religious education. (Hear, hear.) He believed the question they had now to decide wa whether they should foster the great principle of volun tary education in this country—(hear)—or by an experi meat of this sort throw back indefinitely the progresa , already made by that system. The bill would, moreover, be attended with an enormously increased amount of taxation. (Hear, hear.) He thought there was one evil at the root of this question, which was not sufficiently kept in view. He did not think that was education which merely taught a person to read an write, to do some sums in arithmetic, to tell the reign ing sovereigns of the world, or the geographical positiot of various countries. What he regarded as edueatioe was a system that would reach the heart ; that wouh teach a person to know and do his duty to God and man, and thereby be enabled to go through life as a goo , Christian, and a good citizen. (Hear, hear.) lle be lieved that, comparing the people of this country, in re spect to education and morality, with any other people in the world, short as had been our means, they would be found at least equal if not superior to most other na tions. Hebelieved there never was a time when they could look with greater satisfaction to the state of our institu tions than the present. He did not deny that there wa , much ignorance and crime that he could wish to see re moved ; but he believed that, do what we would, ther would be always some crime and some ignorance, and he also believed that this bill would not be effectual in removing either crime or ignorance. The first point it which he differed from his right hon. friend was as t , . the number of children attending schools. By the census it appeared that there were 2,140,000 children attending day schools, and about 2,400,000 attending Sundae schools. Mr. Horace Mann said there ought to be 3,000,000 of children attending school ? The teal ques tion was, why were not those children attending school! He believed it was not for want of schools. (Rear.) Mr. Mann had omitted one important element in his calculations, and that was owing to the great distance at which many of them lived from school. The next difficulty was the indifference of the parents. Sow was his right hon. friend to deal with that? It could not be done by compulsory means, and therefor, they should be still in the same position. (Hear.) The next . point was as to the poverty of the parents, and hr believed as to that the bill could afford no remedy, ex cept that it proposed to make the schools free. So far good. If the bill proposed to make the new schools free, it might do some good ; but if the bill proposed to make the existing schools free also, it would stamp pau perism on the whole population of this country. (Hear, Lear.) His right hon. friend had on a former occasion adduced Austria as being one of the best-educated countries in the world ; but he (Mr. Henley) maintained that, although education in Austria was entirely com pulsory, the number of children who could be brought to attend schools in that empire was not equal to those attending schools under the voluntary system in this country. (Hear.) He came now to the quality of the education proposed to be given by this bill. His right hon. friend had omitted in his speech all notice what ever of Sunday-school teaching, which was a most valu able element in the education of the people, and without which we should be in a much worse state than we were at present. His right hon. friend had referred to Austria as being one of the best-educated countries in Europe ; but it appeared from a statement published by Mr. Kay, that while in England, in 1846, the number of persons convicted was 60,000, in Austria, with a popu lation of 33,000,000, the number of detected crimes—he begged the house to observe the word—was 5.9,494. Mr. Kay's work referred to 1837-8, - as wends 1846, and the dif ference between those years was trifling. It appeared then that the whole population, excepting Hungary, which was not included, was 23,652,000. The total number re ceiving education was 2,338,985, which gave a propor tion of the whole population of one in 10 and a fraction; while in our own country the number gave one in 8 and a fraction. With regard - to crime, the number of crimi nals was 29,492, 'or as nearly •as possible one in 800 in the population. As to morality, the number of births was in the whole Austrian empire, in 1846, 976.495, while the number of illegitimate births was about one in every nine and a fraction. (Hear, hear.) His right honourable friend had also referred to America, ai affording a good illustration of the benefits of national education ; but he (Mr. Henley) believed the house would not much value any national system of education which did not also include a religious education. (Hear, hear.) He knew his right hon. friend condemned the religious system set up in America. (Hear, hear, from Sir J. rakington.) His right hon. friend cried " hear, hear," but he would remind him that the American na tional schools were originally set up to teach a religious education, but had gradually slipped down to be a purely secular system. (rle.sr, hear.) The right hon. gentle man (Mr. Henley) then referred to the evidence of Mr. Baines before the Manchester and Salford Committee, of which his right hon. friend (Sir J. Pakington) was a member. Mr. Baines stated that he wished to speak with great respect of the American schools as to their secular c'taracter ; but he felt bound to add that they were not what they were origi nally intended to be, as originally they were intended to give a religious education, whereas the teaching of religion was almost altogether banished from them. (Hear, hear.) Another witness before the same com mittee, Mr. Trernenhere, said he bad consult e d a grea t n umber of clergymen in America, and they seemed to be almost all of opinion that the present system of teaching in the American schools tended to loosen all definite ideas of Christ ianit y in the minds ed aof the people. (Ilea had r, hear.) He (Mr . Henley) believ great increase b f the peo o takeie e place in the education y t o io ffi n cia o l returns rte of this coun the number of try ; for it app eared was, in 1818, one in 1 7 ; children receiving education , while, in 1851, it was one i n 1330, it was one in l He believed, then, if this in 81.

(Hear, hear.) After some further criticisms on the bill, the right hon. gentleman concluded by moving that the bill be real a second time that day lila months. (Hear.) Mr. R. PHILLIMORE, in seconding the amend. went, gave the right hon. baronet who had brought for ward the motion on national education credit for being actuated by no party or selfish motive ; on the contrary, he bad bad, doubtless, to contend with a great number of party difficulties. He (Mr. Phillimore) trusted the right hon. gentleman would not on that account con sider any remarks he might have to make in op posing the motion as being of a personal nature. the ground on which he (Mr. Phillimore) opposed the ~cheme proposed by the right hon. baronet, was that he considered it was fraught with all that mischief which aad been so eloquent:) , pointed out by the hon. member 'or Buckinghamshire. He conscientiously believed that -,he effect of the measure would be to disestablish the Church of England as the recognised medium of reli gious education. (Hear, hear.) The only way in which the right honourable gentleman proposed to ,irovide for religious teaching was by the reading of the Scriptures in the schools ; and this experiment had been found to be a complete failure in Anieriea. For .hese reasons, in addition to the arguments of the hon. •nember for Buckinghamshire, he should give his most strenuous opposition to the measure of the right hon. oaronet in every stage of its progress. Mr. MILES lamented that his hon. friend the mem aer for Oxfordshire should have differed from the right eon. baronet who had brought forward the motion be- Fora the house ; but he thought that the distinctions which were drawn by the hon. member for Oxforishire were essentially fallacious. If he (Mr. Miles) did not think be bill before the house was founded upon a religious oasis no power on earth could have induced him to sup lort it ; for he could not but admit the denominational system in this country had produced great effects as egarded education ; and after what the hon. member ror Oxfordshire had said on drawing his deductions from ,he years 1818, 1833, and 1851, it must be at once .nore than evident that the denominational sys tem alone bad unquestionably produced a great snd immense addition to the education of the people. (Hear.) He thought that this accession, however great, was not sufficient to the wants of the people, and that it was necessary to adopt some other plan by which education might be still further extended. The only pestion was, were these efforts now made sufficient for the educational requirements of the country ? If so, it was not by any means advisable to intermeddle with ;hese voluntary exertions. If not, and if the coun ry lacked facilities of education, it became the duty of the house seriously to consider how it could afford it, without infringing to any extent upon the existing schools. (Hear, hear.) This he be ieved to be exactiy the principle on which the right eon. baronet had founded his measure. (Hear, hear.) the hon. member then proceeded to reply to the argu ments contained in the speech of the hon. member for Jxfordshire. He observed that it struck him, whilst :hat honourable gentleman was referring to the sta istics of education in Austria as being in advance A this country, that there was less criminality end more morality in this country than was the case in Austria. Coming next to the principle of the measure pro aosed by the right hon. member for Droitwich, he re :narked that it was quite absurd to talk of mere secular teaching ' • and inasmuch as he believed that the best neans of meeting the educational requirements of the ,resent day were to be found in the right hon. baronet's neasure, it should have his most cordial and entire upport. He maintained that if we taok Biblical :duration as the foundation of the system, that in due time they should have the whole of the populati in im liued with the principles of religious education ; and he rmly believed, notwithstanding all that had been stated the contrary, that little by little the measure would be found to operate beneficially without leaving the .ountry a prey to those terrors which the imagination of the hon. member for Oxfordshire had conjured up. Did the hon. member suppose, because they adopted that system, all other schools were bound to be pot lown, or did he suppose that the sixpenny rate would be levied al over the country ? He (Mr. Miles) never ieard of anything so preposterous. Again, if the hon. gentleman called to mind the large amounts which crime s.nd pauperism in this country cost us annually, he would ierhaps be less earnest in his opposition to a scheme which had I r its object the diminution by legitimate deans of these prolific sources of national expenditure. Passing on to refer to the two other educational schemes tefore the house, (those of Lord J. Russell and Mr. M. :Gibson) he expressed a hope that the bill before the louse veou:d not be condemned ; but be trusted that all the bills would be sent to the consideration of a corn nittee upstairs, a committee composed of men who had given attention to the subject, and he was not without hope that, after a short discussion, and after careful examination of the different clauses, in each an amalgamation might be effected, or at all events that nit of them some comprehensive bill which might meet with general support might be constructed. (Hear.) Mr. DILLWYN (a new member) opposed the motion on the ground that in parishes where religious creeds were nearly balanced it would give rise to a sectarian lissension of a most disagreeable character, whilst in places where the majority of the inhabitants were Churchmen or Dissenters the minority would. go with out any education whatever. Mr. BYNG, in the course of an animated address, said that he should give the measure of the right hon. baronet his cordial support, reserving for a future opportunity any opposition he might entertain to some of its details. He gave his support to it as an importaet step towards sup plying those educational wants and omissions which were now beginning to be so generally recognised. (Hear, hear.) Mr. ADDERLEY suggested the adjournment of the debate. Sir J. PAKINGTON said that considering that her Majesty's Ministers were necessarily absent he could consent to the adjournment of the house. He should, therefore, place the motion for re suming the debate on the paper for to-morrow ; not, however, in the hope of bringing it on then, but in order that he might make some arrangement with the Government for an early day again to bring it forward. After a few words from Mr. COWPER, The debate was adjourned accordingly. SPIRITS (IRELAND) ACT AMENDMENT BILL. This bill, after a short discussion, in which Lord Naas, Mr. Keogh, Lord Berners, and Mr. Macartney took part, was read a second time, and was ordered to be committed. GREENWICH HOSPITAL. and afterwards to him (witness). Since the war it had been found requisite to appoint a store-receiver at Ply mouth aid Deptford, and those officers were responsible for all the expenditure relative to the contracts for pro visions. He constantly kept the Minister for War in formed of what contracts had been entered into, and what ships were employed to carry them to the East. The witness then went on to state, in reply to a question from Lord Seymour, that when the goods had been shipped and the receipts had been forwarded to the Ad miralty by the master of the vessel as ha had described, the Admiralty considered that their duty regarding the shipment of those goods was at an end ; but they took care not to pay the freight until they had received an official intimation that the goods Lad been delivered safely, and in vod condition. The tna , ter of the vessel was responsible for the security of the goods whilst they were under his card. Some time might elapse before the consignee informed the Admiralty that he hal received the goods sent out, and ii, the meanwhile Vie Admiralty would remain in perfect ignorance whether they had been received or not at their destination. . . By Captain Gladstone—The coffee sent out in a raw state was at the request of Commissary-General Ftlder, who told him that it was intended as a kind of extra za firm for the troops, and that it might be nece•sary t convey it into the interior of the country. Several coffee mills were also sent out at the same time. Only one supply of preserved meats had been sent out to the Crimea,. Captain Gladstone—How was that ? Witness—After the experience which the Government had had of preserved meats, and the roguery to which it had been subjected by some contractors, they thought it advisable to introduce a very stringent regulation in the contract, which was that no goods should be held to be received until they were delivered in the Crimea. The Government required that a person should be sent out with the goods on the part of the contractor, and if on exatnin ng the casks at their destination the contents were found to be in the slightest degree tainted or un wholesome they should be condemned, awl the whole cargo rejected. Accordingly no contractor could be found to receive this regulation in the contract. By Mr. Layard—He did not think it was possible for any person to have access to his samples for tenders after they were sent in so as to be enabled to change them. Mr. Layard—Are you aware that an impression has got about amongst the public, to the effect that these samples have been tampered with in some way or other ! Witness—l cannot say that lam aware of any such impression. At all events there are to my knowledge no grounds whatever for it. Examination continued.—So far as he knew, none of the samples had ever been tampered with or changed after they were sent in. The witness afterwards stated, in reply to Mr. Drum mond, that the articles sent to the Crimea were of the very best description, including the forage and hay. This brought his examination to a close. Sir Hew Ross was next called, and was examined by the Chairman. He stated that he was Lieutenant- General of the Ordnance, and had performed the duties previously discharged by Lord Raglan as Master-General of the Ordnance since his lordship had been absent in the East. He was appointed on the 6th May. The whole of the engineers and artillery were under his management. By Mr. Layard—He was the only artillery officer at the Board, though the board had the direction of the artillery. He had received no orders or instructions from Lord Raglan since he had been in the Crimea. No chance-, had betn introduced into the organisation of the artillery since the Peninsular war. The only complaint that had been made to him in connection with the artil lery was, that some of the fusees had been found ineffective. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Retribution, 28, Captain Fisher, flag of Rear- Admiral Baynes, went out of Portsmouth harbour, and, after testing her speed at the measured mile yestercay, anchored at Spithead. The Malacca, 17, screw-corvette, Captain Farquhar, repent sails yesterday in Portsmouth harbour, and hauled out into the stream to swing for the adjustment of her compasses. A new mortar vessel; the Magnet, built by Messrs. Wigram, of Northam (South ampton), was towed from that port to Portsmouth har bour yesterday by the Pigmy tug to be forthwith fi•ted out for the Baltic. It was the Dee, not the Rhadaocian thus, steam-transport, which arrived at PertseiOuth on Tuesday evening from Woolwich wi:h machinery, which she go es to the bain to land this d a y. Th e t , a ilieg transports Ness. 40 and 210, which arrived at Soithead on Tuesday evening, are ordered into Portsmouth har bour to embark troops. The screw steam-ship Conqueror, 101, was launched at Devonport dockyard yesterday afternoon. She is to he masted this day, and will be rigged forthwith by the riggers of the yard previr us to being put in commissien. Contracts for the supply of whest were 4 , t red int.) yesterday at the Royal William Victualling-yard, Ply mouth, with Messrs. Collier Brothers, for 400 qrarierpi at 80s., 1,100 quarters at 795. 6d., and 500 quarters at 794. ; end Mr. Adams, for 500 quarters at 795. 4d., and 500 quarters at 795. 10d. On Tuesday morning draughts of the following regi ments, under the command of Colonel Sir James Alex ander and four officers, embarked on board the Prince and Prince Arthur steamers for conveyance t;) Queens. town, where they are to go on board a transport wai , ing there to take them to Malts, at which place they are to be formed into corps of reserve for the seat of war :- 120 of the 14th, 120 of the 9th, 120 of the 3d Buffs, and 120 of the 89th—making in all 600 rank and file. On the motion of Sir G. B. PECHELL, a return was ordered of the several sums of freight money received by the treasurer of Greenwich Hospital since Feb. 25,1854, with the dates of such payments, and whether on public or private account ; and of the name of the ship or - vessel in which the treasure was conveyed, and of the captain or officer commanding the same. CUSTOMS AND EXCISE DUTIES. On the motion of Mr. MACARTNEY a return was ordered of all duties paid upon spirits, tea, sugar, and coffee, in London, Liverpool; Bristol, Hull, Glasgow, Leith,. Dublin, Belfast, and Cork, for 14 days previous and up to six o'clock on the 20th day of April, when the Chancellor of the Exchequer placed his resolutions for imposing additional duties on those several articles, such return to set forth the quantities, with the amount of duties paid by each party, and the date of every such payment ; and similar returns for the corresponding periods in the years 1853 and 1854. Some other business on the paper having been dis posed of, the house adjourned shortly before 6 o'clock. DEATH OF REAR•ADMIRAL A. L. CORRY. We regret to announce that Rear-Admiral cf the White, Armar Lowry Curry, died at Paris on Tuesday night. The death of this gallant officer had been expected for some days. Rear-Admiral . Corry was as highly re spected as any officer in the navy. H e h a d gene through a most active career in various services. He commanded the far-famed Barham, 50, when she was the " crack frigate" of her time. He commanded the Firebrand, steam-frigate, and took the experimental brig squadron to sea, and reported upon their qualities. He com manded the Superb, 80, in the experimental trials. He was captain superintendent of the packet service at Southampton, and was last year second in command of the Baltic fleet, until ill-health obliged him to relin quish a duty that bad become monotonous. The deceased admiral was the brother of the Hon. H. T. L. Corry, M.P. for Tyrone. By the death of Rear-Admiral Corry, the following officers attain their flag raok:—Captain Folletta l Walrond Pennell (1828) ; Captain W. A. B. Hamilton (1328), second secretary to the Admiraly ; Captain Edward Purcell (1828), good service pension ; Captain Charles Elliott (1828), Governor and Commander-in• Chief of Bermuda ; and Captain Thomas Bennett (1828), good service pension. In reply t) General Peel, the witness said that the Master• General of the Ordnance was always a military man. Nearly the whole of the powers of Master- General were confided t) him ; and the absence of Lord Raglan did not at all affect the exercise of his functions. By the Chairman—With regard to the gunpowder used by the artillery, he thought the board ought to be acquainted with Its manufacture and properties ; but it was not their duty to inspect that portion of the depart anents ; that was left to a committee of officers specially appointed for the purpose. By Lord Seymour—The artillery were very well taken care of in the Crimea; in fict, much better than was the case with the rest of the troops, because their supplies were furnished by the Ordnance. By Mr. Lay rd—He thought the siege train sent out was properly manned and fully efficient—indeed men were sent out with it when necessary. lie had no doubt the =en were much overworked. Sir 'Thomas Hastings, Comptroller of Stores, was next called, and was examined by Lord Seymour. It was his duty to superintend under the Board of Ordnance the fitting out of ships with naval ordnance, as well as supplying the ordnance wants of the army. The case of supplying great-coats and boots and shoes to the troops also devolved upon his department. In the course of last summer he made application to the hoard for the purchase of warm clothing for the army, and he made all the necessary arrangements for procuring it. The committee adjourned about four o'clock until to day. ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL COM MITTEE. The committee re-assembled yesterday morning at the usual hour. Mr. Grant, late Comptroller of the Victualling and Transport Departments, was the first witness called, and was examined by Lord Seymour. He stated that he had held the latter of the above-men tioned offices until the formation of the transport board, having retained it up to that time since the year 1851. He had been in the service of the Admiralty for 40 years. He then proceeded to point out the mode in which tenders were received and examined by the vic tualling department. When the tenders were opened in the board-room, the samples sent in were in spected, and the best were selected without any consideration as to the lowness of the terms proposed, the quality of the goods being taken as the criterion of preference. After the samples had been selected they were sealed up by the proper officers, and were afterwards compared with the bulk. It was not the duty of any particular person to examine the salt provisions. The mode was to examine one or two casks, and if found to be sweet the whole cargo was retained ; but if it was discovered on inspection of one or two casks that the contents were in the slightest de gree tainted, the whole was condemned and rejected. Of all the supplies forwarded by the victualling depart ment to the army in the Crimea he had had never received 0 I a single complaint. If a complainti. , j any person in authority at home he must.n . Thenligavehea first dof I it. This remark a pp lied to the prov9i supply of port wine of 100 dozen. of.

Amidst the busy din which now frights the rare old city of Chester from its propriety I have merely tune to throw together a few brief notes on the Cup. Ere our communication appears in type the result of the race will be known through the length and breadth of the land. Every incident connected with speculation served only to deepen the interest which centred in the encoun. ter. Until Tuesday afternoon, the utmost uncertainty prevailed as to which would be the intended of William Day's lot, but it was partially removed by the advance of Noi-y to the position of ieading favourite. Still this demonstration produce , d no perceptible effect on the re s7ective partisans of Nabob. Scythian, Rudy Bird, and Neville remained firm in the market to the close, but Imogene, ailkeith, The Reiver, and. Arthur Wellesley went " up arid down like a bucket in a well." The race admits of easy description. After a tedious delay, the horses were got off, the start being, however, made fully a qiia.rter of a mile beyond the proper iis tance. This arrangement was scarcely justified, either on the plea of expediency or on the ground of precedent. Mortimer made all the running, Scythian not " coming" until pa sing the Castle Pole the second time. Half way up the distimce Scythian reached Mortimer, mini], after a slashing " set-to," won by a heal. The success of Scythian will compensate his owner and jockey for their "Two Thousand" disappointment. Arthur Wellesley broke down. Nancy, too, broke I her leg. She was afterwards shot. Her death was most cruel and barbarous ; for the fellow employed to destroy her was compelled to fire three times before he completed his work. Nancy thus ended her racing ca reer on the course where her earliest triumph was achieved. Mr. T. Parr was desperately in earnest with Mortimer. He stood to win an immense stake. By a reference to The Sun of last Monday it will be seen that among the animals I selected against the field were the first and third. Time will only permit me to refer briefly to the races appointed for Friday. John Osborne will, doubtless, win the Triennial Stakes with the assistance of either Lord Alfred or Lady Tatton. Should Knight of St. George start, he shall be my champion for the Eaton Stakes. For the Grand Stand Cup I shall select Ephe sus and Early Bird ; for the Wirral Stakes, Stork ; and for the Cheshire Stakes, Typee and Venison. A FRESH MAN. Chester, Wednesday Night.

MANCHESTER, May I.—Our market is feeling the influence of several causes which tend to render buyers very cautious in their operations. The weather is ungenial, corn is rising in price, and the aspect of the war dis couraging, while the advices just received from India are unfavourable. At Bombay, piece-goods were ex ceedingly dull, at a further decline ; and, though the value of yarns was pretty steady,:hardly anything was done in them. Avery favourable rate of ex change increased the d;sposition of the sellers of cloth and twist to offer greater ad vantAges than before to buyers, who, however, sail kept aloof from business At the same time cotton wool was being taken more freely, but the supply was increasing. From at t al f c l u il t i s' ta p i r t ic is reported that, although the lighter 40, inch shirtings had been sold to a large extent, the market was exceedingly depressed, and in all goods and yarns a thither subsidence of value had taken place. The rate of exchange had, however, again im proved, a circumstance which was inducing holders to lower their terms for imports. ROCHDALE, April 30.—The demand for flannels con tinue steady, with little or no change in prices. We have had rather more inquiry for wool, and more busi ness transacted, but the rates are much the same as the preceding week. HALIFAX, April 28.—The aspect of trade in our Piece Hall has not changed since our last report. Yarns and wools also remain pretty• Much in the same position. HUDDIitSFIELD, May I.—Little business has been done in the cloth market to-day. The rise in the price of corn in tte London market yesterday, and the uncer tain state of eastern affairs, have evidently had their influence on the trade, and an indisposition to do busi ness has been the result. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT EALlNG.—Yeterday morning, at an early hour, the inhabitants of Ealirg-grove were Ridett, situate greatly al arme d i n conseque nce of a fire breaking out in some unoccupi e d h ouses belonging to Mr. in Baker's-lane, Ealing-green. Such was the rapidity with whi c h t h e fire progress ed that in the course of a few minutes th e flames ex t e nded to another house, and there app eare d at one per iqd no chance of saving any portion of th e surroun di n g houses. The parish en g ines were remark a bl y ear ly in arriving, and , owi n g to the activity o f the arish engineer s and p olice, the y sue ceeded i n extinguishing the fire, but not until two of the buildings were levelled with thel ground, and another p seriously damaged by fire, water, &c. Fortunately the owner of the property was insured in the Atlas Fire office. Tlife oriin of the fire is not p recisel y known, but it is generally supposed to h ave been the work of some diabulical incendiary. Borsenhal l e o f H am b urg is instructed by letters from OF THE BALTIC BLOC KADE OF 185 EFFECT 3e 4.—The St. Peter sburg, that from the opening to the close of the navigatirm in 1854, only seven foreign ships entered the port of S t. Petersburg, and there were only twenty-seven departui •es. The coasting trade was not interrupted. .In crms, :quence of the advance in th e rates of carriage 10,000 oinkops of tallow remained unsold, and prices have falle n grea tl y. The advance on imports is most felt in tl o i art i c l e of cotton . Instead of som e milli ons o f Foods, th e i m p or t a ti on of ordinary years, in 1854 only 900,000 poods were imported, and many mills are stand ing still I or Want of raw material. A lett4)r from Kalisch, in Russian Poland of the 22d ult., in the Austrian Gazette, says :—" The grenadi er . 8 o f t h e 3 .1 di v i s i o n, who are s t a ti one d i n e the en. vixens of Lowitch, were inspect e d a few m days ag o b y t h e i r co mander-in-chief, Adj u t a nt- Genera 1 Plautine, and by General Koylotf.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. LAMBETH.—The court was crowded to hear Mr. Elliott's decision in the case of Mr. John, Ball and Mr. Thomas Giles, gentlemen of considerable property in Lambeth, and candidates at the Easter election for guardians of that parish, who were charged with unlaw fully altering a voting paper, with intent to affect, the result of the election. When the case was called on, Mr. Elliot expressed his de4re, before giving judgment, to hear a similar charge which he understood was to be preferred against two other parties. Accordingly, Mr. Thomas Ardiug, shoe maker, Lambeth-walk, and Mr. James Hayhow, ac countant, of Vauxhall-street, were charged with forging the name of Mr. James Salter on a voting paper. It appeared that the voting paper in question was for warded by the clerk to the guardians to Mr. Salter, at reside Newport-street, sideatt e house, L andam Lambeth-w. d - w e f a n ] n k d . a n eilr t s l n . a 1 ni Salter there,d notand havingobtained the paper, Mr. Arding placed the initials, "J. 5.," before the names of Doulton, Evans, and Nash, who were three out of the six candidates. He also wrote the name, "J. Salter," at the foot of the paper. Mr. Hayhow was present at the time, but did not say or do anything save give one of Doulton's can vassing cards to a person who was standing by. Mr. Hobler, for the defence, made some technical ob jections, which were overruled by Mr. Elliott, who pro ceeded to give judgment in both cases. His Worship observed that it was denied on the part of Mr. Giles, or, at least, it was his defence, that be was not the person who had altered the voting paper, while in the case of Mr. B Lll it was admitted that he was pre sent at the time, but had nothing to do with the act. With regard to Mr. Giles, he (Mr. Ellett) would only say that he could not think that any person who had heard Mis. Northam, the wife of the voter, could have the least doubt of the contrary ;at least-he, Mr. Elliott, had no doubt whatever on the subject. It had been urged by coups-1 on the hearing of the case that it would have been foolish on the part of the defendants to make an alteration in a voting paper, knowing very well that such alteration would render it useless ; but, at the saute time, it should be considered that the vote, though destroyed, was lost to their opporents. The con duct of the parties, he was sorry to say, was not what he (Mr. Elliott) might have expected from persons in their position in life, for instead of coming forward and ac knowledging their offence—pleading the sanction given by Mrs. I'Vortharn to an implied authority of her bus. band, they cast on her the stigma of falsehood. That the defendants, Ball and Giles, had acted together in the matt,-r there could be no doubt, and the charge against them having been clearly proved, he felt it to be his duty to commit them to prison for 21 days. In the sectild case, the conduct of Arding was considerably more aggravated, for he was guilty of forging the name of the voter to the paper, and he felt therefore bound to commit him to prison for one month. Then, as re garded Hayhow, he did not think the evidence against him sufficiently strong to warrant a conviction under the act, and should therefore di-charge him. The sensation created in the court by his worship's evidently unexpected decision it would-be impossible to describe, and the rival parties having been punished and neither having a triumph, each were equally crest fallen. Mr. Solomon, addressing the magistrate, said he was retained by Mr. Ball, and on his behalf he begged his worship would send that gentleman and the others to the common gaol for the county, which was Horse monger-lane, and not to the House of Correction at Wandsworth. He had further to beg that his worship would direct th sr a dee t otoc h laib i emt s tdwo c t l niat i l e ehst n hag t ltieoe m fvvhtee i et g rson. ht be placed amongst the h fi bp o r ur s ia:s t rio - ih c rni misdemeanants,.le:wtrlshuflt:lllhediost,tnttioae hotarhde of visitingn the ep gaol a w o e l r wouldov er t magistrate,dhoe what was necessary under the circumstances. Mr. Giles said that he had served the parish to the best of his ability for upwards of 20 years, and was un conscious of having committed a single act that he should be ashamed of in all his life. He confessed that he was grieved to see the old persons in the workhouse at GO years of age deprived of their necessary comforts, and this was the reward he received for his labour. A number of persons in the body of and round the court here applauded the prisoner, who was about proceed ing, but was stopped by the magistrate. Mr. Arding admitted his offence, but said he had acted without thought, and in total ignorance of the law, hod h p im e hison an el o u r s al whip ity would t forgivehe other .aim,defendants. or r nd at thleearset place • Mr. Solomon said that the p rosecutors in this ca se had no objectio n to a more lenient sentence but if r equestthat Messrs.

The passengers had increased in 1854 from 2,449 ; 055 to 3,566,980, and the receipts from 11,425,0411 r. to 14,152,992 f., showing an augmentation of 45 per cent. in number, and of 23 per cent. in receipts. The con veyance of heavy goods had increased from 11,680,478 fr. to 16,632,015 fr., or 42 per cent. ; in 1853, the goods traffic had been 2,227 tons per day, whereas in 1854 it was 3,432 tons per day, being an augmentation of 54 per cent. In some of Vie items the improvement men ioned has been most extraordinary : thus, in wine, it amounted to 56 per cent. ; coals 92 per cent. ; salt, 129 per cent.; coke, 156 per cent. ; and castings, 245 per cent. Fr. c. 32,396,452 32 13,427,092 51 The receipts for 1854 amounted to Aud the expenses to Leaving a nett profit of .. 18,969,359 81 To be deducted for interest on bonds, sink ing fund, purchase of Bale line. &o. 7,302.ps 33 Remainder 11,666,841 48 From that sum the interest being deducted on 19,170,000 francs expended for aug mentation of stock and for other ex penies 575,100 0 There remained a balance of 11,091,741 48 Deduction for reserve fund nt 5 per cent There remains for distribution 10,537,1541 r. 41e. giving a dividend of 421 r. per share, which, added to the sum of 201 r. paid in the month of November last, would give for the.year 1854, a total produce of 62fr. per share, or upwards of 12 per cent. The dividend, if approved of, would be paid at the office of the c impany on and after the let of May But this large return for the capital would, in all probability, the report states, be very greatly increased in the year 1855. "If we may judge," says that document, "by the receipts of the first 16 weeks of the present year, the ascensional movement will not cease. During that tine the re• ceipts, which in the corresponding period of last year had been 9,039,231 fr., have this year reached the sum of 10,809.706 r., so that there has been already an increase of 1,770,475 fr., or 194 per cent." The rep ,rt states that in all the branch-lines, opened since last y , ar, as well as in the Bale line, the results of the working have far exceeded what the Board could have ventured to predict, and the fact that a great Franoo-German Com pany had lately obtained the concession of a va-t line, which, starting from the frontier of Saxony, would tra verse the Austrian empire, and end near Belgrade, on the frontier of the Turkish provinces, passing by Prague, Bruhn, Vienna, Presburg, and Pesth, could not fail to add indirectly to the revenue of the Strasburg line. With respect to the financial position of the company, the balance on the 31st Dec. last was 62,242,927 fr. 43c. out of a sum of 111,204,980 1 r. 48c. received. As from that balance the caution money of the company was to be deduct* d there remained in band at that date a sum of 59,992,927 francs 43c. The stock, the report states, although representing a • value of upwards of 70 millions, would require further extension, in conse quence of the increase of the .traffic, and orders had been given accordinglf. The report then refers to the -state of the works on the Paris to Mulhausen line, and declares that .great activity was ever y where displayed by the contractors. On the line from Blesme to St. Dizier and Gray, the first section of the branch to Ha guenau would be opened towards the end of May, and that from Haguenau to Wissemburg, in connection with the Bavarian lines, in August next. The report con cludes by explaining the reasons rendering it advisable for the company to apply for the concession of a branch from Troyes to Bar-sur Seine ; a junction of the Vin cennes line with that of Mulhausen, and the eventual junction of the Bale line with that of the centre of Swit zerland ; the board, it added, had to ask the meeting for full powers to treat for these objects. Loud app!ause followed the reading of the report, and the dividend of 42fr, being approved of, the powers asked for granted, and a vote of thanks passed to the board, the proceedings terminated, GEELONG AND MELBOURNE. This line, the pioneer of the railway system in Aus- tralia, is, in course cf rapid construction, and by the last advices the opening of the Harbour branch and a portion of the line was expected to take place early in : Tune next. The original capital has been increased to 350,0001., with a Government guarantee of 5 per cent, interest upon the whole of that amount, and the land along the line was given free and unconditionally by Government. The prospects as regards traffic are encouraging, the line being of vital importance to the trade and shipping of those places. The additional shares are now in course of subscription here amongst Engliih capitalists. The first allotment has already taken place, and the residue of the shares is now being offered to the public.

When the obscuration was apparently at its extreme point, and there was only the narrowest im aginable edge of light, on about a fourth-part of the out line of the circle, a dark cloud intervened, and put a stop to all further nbservation. Anything approaching more nearly to a total eclipse we do not remember to Lave witnessed. FIRE IN LEADENRALL-STREET, AND Loss OF LIFE.— On Tuesday morning a fire, which resulted in the destruc tion-of property of several thousand pounds value, broke out on the premises of Mr. Preston, stationer and litho graphic printer, 65, Leadenhall-street. As soon as he was apprised of the outbreak, Mr. Preston proceeded to arouse the other members of the family, and the appren tice lad, whom he told to follow him, and all, with the exception of the apprentice, effected a safe retreat, Up to six o'clock last evening, however, no tidings of the apprentice could be obtained, and there is little doubt. but that he must have become overpowered by the heated smoke, and perished in the flames. The premises being about 200 years old, and the timber beams extending into two other buildings, the conflagration made rapid progress, and extended to the houses of Mr.. Jackson, boot and shoemaker, Mr. Levy, Sheffield warehouseman, and others in the immediate vicinity. Between two and three o'clock, the weight of the presses in Mr., Pres ton's warehouse, which approximated to four tons, forced down floor after floor in rapid succession, and so great was the vibration of one of theadjoining houses that a fireman, named Norman, was thrown from the spot where he was standing, and fell through a glass roof, sustaining such injuries as necessitated his removal to Guy's Hospital. Mr. Preston's house and warehouses, with their contents, wereall but destroyed, including the property of Mr. Kent, who tenanted the third floor. At Mr. Levy's, adjoining, the second and third floors were burnt out, and other serious damage inflicted. The premises of Mr. Pound, trunk maker, Mr. Honner, tailor, Mr. Jackson, boot maker, &c., were more or less damaged. Mr. Prest.m and Mr. Pound were insured in the Sun-office, and Mr. Levy in the Pk:lonia. The others unknown. All doubts as to the fate of the unfor tunate lad, Arthur Parker, the apprentice to Mr. Pres ton, are now set at rest, for the body of the poor lad has been found in the ruins burnt in an awful manner, one leg being consumed from the trunk. The remains hake been carefully collected together, and they await the coroner's inquest, which no doubt will be held to mor row, when an official inquiry into the cause of the fire will be male by the coroner.
