The Revenue Returns for the year and quarter are once more before us, and will be found iu another part of this day's impression—that is to say, as we have already explained, of the new style financial year, ma d e u p to the Ist in place of the sth cf July. There is no very remarkable fe ature about th e present account ca l cu l a t e d to produce e i t h er exultation or depression. The ex traordinary elasticity of the national resources, which enables our financiers to be certain that almost any bill they may draw on the people will be Promptly accepted and duly honoured receives another Powerful illustration ; while we are also shown, though scarcely to so great an extent as might have been anticipated, how severely such enormous taxation operates on the social condition and ordinary comforts of the industrious classes. It was certain, from the large additions made to the existing imposts, that there would be a very considerable increase of revenue. That expecta tion has b een confirmed. 'We find that no less than 62,212,304/, has been received withi n th e year, being an improvement of 7,741,5881. ; while 16,07 9,662/. has been received within the quar ter, an increase of 1,005,575/, within that period. W e must, however, recollect that these additions, large as they unquestionably are, by n o means represent the proportion a t e i ncrease consequent on the alterations in the diffe r ent imposts, if there had been no corresponding diminution in consumption. Looking at the different items we find that in the Customs the increase for the year is 958,4261 ., and for the quarter 244 , 0211 . We feel the ' causes of these changes twice every day, at break fast and tea. We remember that the salutarj reduction of duties on tea, coffee, and sugar, w hich had already led to such benefic ial results, was arrested in consequence of the GLADSTONE policy of trying to disgust the people with the War, by multiplying the burdens thereby occa sioned. The Peelite Chancel!cr of the Exchequer estimated that the addition to the revenue from these causes, which have already been a year in operation, w.ould amount to about 700,0001., but we find that they are rather better than a quarter °fa million (258,4261.) more than the calcula- tion. the In th e E xc i se the addition on year is 1,770,0171., less by the and on the quarter 635,26 9 /. ; far ' 4 3l' than had been anticipated. In May' Les 4, 111r.13LADSTONE estimated that the increased d u ti es on malt and spirits would pro duce nearly t wo - and-a-half millions-2)450, 000 /. within the year. It will be seen that we fall v er y much sh or t o f that calculation . There has been a diminish e d consumption 11. of malt of spirits, and of hops ; an d we fear that ' the • perse verance of his successor in the _ same course will, ere long, by giving an extraordinary sti lus to the illicit trade, p rove h ow short-sight 'nu ed has been the policy of those so-called financiers who h alike dam ag ed the revenue and demoralised axe 'a con siderable number of persons by their ii th • • ei Uous regulations. In the Stamps the improvement in the year is 271,572/., and on the quarter 54,9421. Aaain we may add that these results are far less than 1 might reasonably have been anticipated, consider ing that the Succession Duties have at length come into operation. Taxes show a falling off on the year of 223,4261., and on the quarter of 201,534/. These may partly be ascribed to mo difications of the existing rates, but chiefly to the slackness in the collection, the payers being obliged to receive greater indulgence in consequence of the magnitude of the burdens imposed on them. The great increase was looked for under the head of "property tax." The total receipts for the year have been 11,456,171/., an addition to last year of 5,085,6711., but nearly a million and a half less than was estimated, the probable produce being taken at 12,889,0001. The increase on the quarter is only 201,5341., a comparatively small amount ; but we must recollect that the double tax was in operation in the corresponding quarter of last year, so that the improvement is only on three in place of on four quarters. On the Post-office there a small apparent falling off on the year of 94,7331., and on the quarter of 7,5761. This, however, we would re mark, has arisen from a great improvement which renders the receipts of the corresponding terms of last year unusually productive. And here we would remark that there is an ad mirable opportunity of putting the right man in the right place, and giving merit its legitimate reward, by the appointment of Mr. ROWLAND HILL as Postmaster-General. The nomination of Lord CANNING'S successor will be a political touchstone, to test the sterling cha racter of Ministerial professions respecting Admi nistrative Reform. We trust that it may give no occasion to question their sincerity. In Crown Lands the falling off is 54,4281. on the year, and 2,0001. on the quarter ; while in Miscellaneous there has been a deficiency on the year of 58,668/., but an increase on the quarter of 165,4461., mainly produced by the sale of a large quantity of old and comparatively useless stores for anything they might bring. All that it is necessary to allude to, in addition to the above, is that it appears that 6,306,000/. has- been al ready received, and that the deficiency bills this quarter only amount to 3,306,4331., while at the , beginning of April we had 3,467,0941. to provide for. On the whole, as above stated, we have no reason either for exultation or depression. We have a painful illustration of one of the evils of war, but, we beg to assure Mr. GLADSTONE, not sufficient to disgust the people, or to induce them to desire a dishonourable or transitory peace. Poor Lord RAGLAN is no more. At the very time when they were announcing in both Houses of Parliament the improvement in his health the veteran had passed from this transitory world. i As we announced in our impression of Saturday alarming symptoms developed themselves at four o'clock on Thursday afternoon. Within an hour - he had become unconscious, and gradually sunk until twenty-five minutes before nine the same evening, when all was over, and the gallant spirit had departed to a better world. The whole nation will sympathise with their beloved SOVEREIGN in the deep commiseration which she felt and hastened to express for the bereaved family, whose loss is indeed peculiarly deplorable under existing circumstances. A few weeks, might have sufficed to banish every cloud from his military career, and to change the mur murings that occasionally broke forth into uni versal plaudits. The unexpected delays that occurred before Sebastopol—the severe priva tions endured by our gallant army, led to many complaints. But the greater portion of these were more fairly ascribable to other persons ; while those which remained were in a great de gree the faults of the system, while his virtues— and their name was legion—were altogether those of the man. As an individual he was manly, brave, and generous—qualities which commanded not merely the esteem and respect, but the love of those under his command. While if he wanted some of the sterner qualifications of a Commander-in- Chief, it was possibly owing to the philanthropy of his disposition, that shuddered at any operations that must produce a large amount of killed and wounded. Personally he had no fears. If he spared his soldiers, he did not spare himself. He shared in all the risks and privations for which his advanced years unfitted him. The controversy as to the merits of the de ceased Field-Marshal will now terminate. No per son will feel inclined to utter a remark derogatory to the well-earned fame of him who persisted in the discharge of his arduous duties at the very time when he should have been in the enjoyment of the otium cum dignitate which he had so amply merited. It was reluctantly, and with many ominous forebodings, that the deceased nobleman accepted the onerous task forced on his acceptance, but the policy of the ABERDEEN Cabinet was not of a very fighting description, -and it was supposed that his services would have been more of a diplo matic than of a military character ; and when it be came apparent that there had been a great mistake committed by the Administration there was a natural reluctance to adopt any course that might cast a slur on the reputation of the veteran, or cause pain to his feelings. The deceased nobleman was a branch of an illus trious house. He was the ninth and youngest son of Henry, fifth Duke of Beaufort, who, in addition to his paternal honours, inherited the ancient barony of Battetourt in right of his mother. It is unnecessary to dwell upon the services rendered by members of that distinguished family. We may, how ever, allude to the fact that it was his distinguished ancestor EDWARD, Second Marquis of Worcester, who in his " Century of Inventions," published in the year 1 663, offered suggestions for the practical workin g of steam-engine, suggestions that under th e directi on of W.:TT ) and other distin guished men, have since led to such felicitous and almost miraculous result s . L ord FITZROY was 1 born in September, in his 68th year at thl:BtiBme he of h N i v is as l , am co e n n s t e e q d u d e e n a t t l y h ,. In 1806, when barely 16 his first commission years of a ge , h e o bt a i ne d , and five years afterwards he was promoted to the rank of captain. Ho never, however, dis c h arge d any regime n t a l duties from that time. He h a d b een appointed t o the staff ' whom he ever of the Great D u k e, with afterwards remained closely Connected, and whose niece, Lady EMILY H ARR/ W Imafinovyney clasps, was ETT EL LESLEY, he married i n th e year 1814, when the temporary cessation of th e war led to the hope that the sword might be ex c h anged for the ploughshare. He soon became milita r y secretary cr to Lord WELLINGTON. But though more distin guished for the pen than the sword he participat e d in e 0 sanguinary and glorious encounter s , i n whereof he wore a Peninsular medal witht i wounded at Busaco, and left with n an arm on the ensanguined field at Waterloo. From that time he became connected with the Horse Guards ,and, as Military Secretary, gave hi ssatisfaction.o , to all with whom he was con cerned. On the death of the Duke, in 1851, it was anticipated that he would have been Jy whic h he was pre-eminently n ominated Command er-in-Chief of the Army for qualified. Some secr et influences, however,, prevailed in favour of Viscount IiARDINGE but Lord FITZROY SOMER SET Was made Master-General of the Ordnance, and elevated to the Peerage by a title celebrated fence of Ra-gla-necoetds' in Lin family r he was nominated to honour on the first M • Castle that conferred so much it was the obstinate de fence of .WORCESTER. How the Eastern expedition robati 0 the chief command of is no doubt that hailed with unanimous app it is w notorious. There as at the time o n, and whatever . controversies have since been excited are now for ever set at rest ; and henceforward the name of FITZROY, Lord RAGLAN', will only be mentioned in laudatory terms, as ono who nobly served his country during a protracted and honourable career, and who has left a glorious example to others to persevere unto the death at the call of duty. The Convocationists are at work again, or rather at talk, and begging leave of her MAJESTY to do something more dignified than merely to amuse the public by their loquacity, while unable to legislate on the smallest matter. It will be seen that in the teeth of the Archbishop of CANTERBURY the busy intriguers carried an Address to her MAJESTY for her licence to proceed to business—the busi ness of arranging a constitution for their body for practical objects. The Lower House assented to it after inserting amendments in favour of ren dering that House more satisfactorily representa tive of the inferior clergy. To this their spiritual Lords agreed, and the memorial as amended is, we suppose, to be duly presented to her MAJESTY. We shall soon, therefore, see how Lord PALMER STON can square matters with English bishops; whe ther he will reply to them too with a joke or with wholesome advice in the vein of his letter to the Edinburgh Presbytery. The worst is, Bishops have votes, and they know how to give them, too, when any liberal measure borders on the preserves of the Church. Ecclesiastics are the same all the world over. Whether they be English Bishops and clergy, Piedmontese Church dignitaries, Presbyterian Doctors across the Tweed, or even Methodist Con ference Preachers living on the people's pence— their besetting temptation is to deem themselves the Church ; to resist the attempts of the people to look in to their own affairs, and to be most touchy of all if their right to the fleece, and their divine right to govern, be for a moment called in question. Look at the projects of the present talking Convocation, for it affords a good index of what it would be as a go verning or legislative Convocation. All their gravamina concern the clergy. The Upper House thinks of not a mortal beyond the bench, and even the Lower House, although composed of persons living more among the people, is yet not of the people. It wants the clergy, not the people, to be better represented. Now, we submit to all the Revs. and Right Revs. that this is not the course for the present day. The Corn Lords and Navigation Lords, and, to some extent, the East India Nabobs, have all had their reform—even a reformed Parliament is threatened with further and much-needed reform—and, last of all, the sacred precincts of the ArinT and Civil Service are rudely overrun by a host of Administrative Re formers, determined to see into everything, and to know the reason why. How, then, can the Church escape her turn ? It may be delayed a few years, but come it must, and will. Archbishops, Deans, Canons, Clergy, and the like, will fare no better than Field-Mar shals, Generals, and other commissioned officers. Indeed (a profane conceit of course) the laity fancy they can judge better of ecclesiastical than military matters. The latter they were always told were mysteries far more recondite than those rin custody of the other cloth. It is an error of very old standing. Somehow the complaint has always bee~ of the intrusion of tailors and tinkers into the province of the clergy. All people think they know about religion, and they certainly ought, whether they do or not ; but no man deems himself bound, at least in this country, to know the duties of a private soldier, much less of a commissioned officer. Let the clergy then be assured that the Administrative Reformers will be down upon the Church in due time. The efficiency of her leaders, the merits and demerits of her system, the quality of her 'weapons will all come under unsparing discussion. How the money goes, how much more might be done with it, will be openly inquired into, and we shall have some House of Commons' Committee scruti nising the whole thing from top to bottom. Two circumstances in modern movements are especially cougenlal with a thorough-going attempt to put the Church to rights: one, that the people are becoming satisfied that nothing is well done which they do not look to themselves, or which they leave to be done for them by their betters. Indeed, the notion that any classes are " the bet ters",of the others is becoming much discredited; the creed now is, that there is a natural aristocracy in each class, and that the public will be better served by letting the deserving of all classes find their level inartificially. The other is the irrepressible cry for promotion by merit, and the abolition of purchase, favour, and nepotism. Now in no State service are the last-mentioned evils 'more glaring than in its ecclesiastical service. There they are the rule, not the exception. The bishop is made bishop generally with scarce a thought whether a more deserving man could be found. lie was the tutor of a monarch, or of a peer's son —a favourite with or a relative of the Premier ; at least a suitable political coadjutor—and so he gets his spiritual Field-Marshal's baton, his mitre, and apron. Then, in a short time, like his mili tary parallels, he is surrounded by a goodly staff of suns and nephews, sons-in-law and nephews-in law, in all the fattest vacancies which turn up in his diocese. The vast majority of presentations to livings also are all obtained through pur • chase or the favour of the patron. Nothing is less thought of than the merit of the presentee, or anything like giving a chance to the most deserving. This evil is even more glar ing in the Church than in the Army, since every curate is socially, and as a priest the equal of the rectors and vicars; he is at least a gentleman, and holy orders. tiwbahgeeilnieln.gg: The Church ought to see that the people are acquiring confidence in their own capacity ; they will never consent much longer to be saddled with a clergyman who is to bo supported on State endowments without some check on his being not tierely a right man, but the right man for his ?'lace. A gentleman in every village is a verygood upheld by' bbAtiuuinett effective ee o anc t lt : li g vat l e i hs t eci t t o on l wn ie tvi iltoolhendca.get Convocation 1 m e i t m ahy a a n iai f l o isu r os t tb h i tietutvtvieoirnly mnaatjioornital fu f nds, it must include repre sentativeslndeed we do not see,bu lutoottv othnleyrehcont oe l v ie eatin la y ity can ho excluded from for the English Church exceptbr e ea a s n o t y n h reasonable i l a e lo Convocation, vvooofcciat Lords Convocation and Commons. If my Lords of OXFORD andExETER want a Legislative Convocation, they must either renounce national property and priv i l eges, or must admit the vcice of the whole nation in their deci sions. Voluntaryism or equal state payment alone is thoroughly consistent with the government of a religious body by its own members, and espe cially by its own clergy. Let our Convocationists consider these things. The Archbishop of CANTER BURY, we doubt not, is well aware of them. No enlightened friend of the aristocracy can reflect otherwise than with pain and apprehension on yesterday's proceedings in Hyde Park. No loyal subject who witnessed them but must wish from the bottom of his heart the like may not be seen THE SUN, LONDON; MONDAY EVENING, JULY 2, 1855. again. It has hitherto been the general belief that we live under the dominion of law, but to judge by the proceedings to which we refer, we live under the dominion of an igAorant and brutal police —a body, Austrian or Russian in habits and feelings to the heart's core. What had her MAJESTY'S liege subjects done to be "charged"—that was the word—and cruelly and, in many instances we believe, unprovokedly beaten with bludgeons ? Was it so shocking a crime to disobey the proclamation, the " charge" on your allegiance of Marshal MAYNE, that such a punishment should be inflicted ? Is it so mortal a sin to deride ridiculous over-zealousness in the officials you support ? Or is it treason, murder, and burglary for Englishmen who, feeling them selves to bo unrepresented in what is ludicrously called " the People's House," have met together to protest against a great grievance—by exclama tion or movement of the hand, to give expression to their feelings ? What was the case yesterday ? A hundred thousand peaceable, well-dressed people met, as a similar body had met on the preceding Sunday, in Hyde-park, the object of the great majority of them being, as on that occasion when no evil re sults followed, to express in the only effective way in their power their disapprobation of the atro cious Sunday Bill, and what takes place ? Why, owing to the behaviour of the police alone a dan gerous riot is all but created. A groan, a hiss, or a laugh from some over-daring snip, and woe to the unlucky offender. The police ".charge " savagely down on him, beat him unmercifully with their staves, and, some half-dozen strong, trium phantly convey the poor fellow in a cab to Vine street. Even our heroic invalids from the Crimea could not escape. In one instance the brutal treatment by the police of an unoffending and wounded veteran brought down the severe rebuke of a Sergeant of the Guards, sent, a short time after, from head-quarters, and had the attempt to capture him been persevered in, there can be no question the result would have been very serious. In another instance, we are told, a number of spectators were dexterously immersed in the Serpentine. If this sort of thing be law, we make bold to say it is not safe. The heart of many a peaceable Englishman ached yesterday to see Englishmen thus abused, and curses, not loud but deep, were muttered against the aristocracy and our lordly form of Government as the cause. At any period dangerous, such procedure is especially so now. A. few such scenes as that of yesterday might have results we are by no means desirous to witness. We must not have any safety-valve fastened down in the present temper of the public, and the police, or their instigators on this occasion, must be brought to book and made to learn a new lesson. TILE COMMAND IN CIIIEF IN THE EAST. _ We are enabled to state that, in consequence of the melancholy death of Lord Raglan, and of the immediate return of Sir George Brown to England, owing to ill health, Lieutenant-General Simpson succeeds to the command of the British army in The Crimea. General Simpson has seen considerable service, and enjoys a high professional reputation. During the Pen insular war he was p resen t a t t h e d e f ence of Cadiz and the attack on Seville. lie served and was wounded at Quatre Bras in 1815, and was engaged in 1845 as second in command to the late Sir Charles Napier in Scinde. Sir Charles Napier considered him his best officer ; and we believe that Lord Ellenborougb, then Governor- General, had the highest opinion of him, and, in the event of any accident happening to Sir Charles, would have charged General Simpson with the con .uct of the war. The high official position General Simpson has filled since the present Government sent him to the Crimea has necessarily placed him in constant communication with the French Commander, with whom we are confi dent he will maintain the cordial relations that have existed without intermission between the chiefs of the expeditionary force. —Morning Post. Her 'Majesty was most deeply affected on being in formed, by Lord Panmure, of the death of Field-Mar shal Lord Raglan, on Saturday forenoon, as the previous accounts received by the Government, by telegraph, gave a more favaurable report of his illness. The Queen instantly countermanded the intended dinnerparty at Buckingham Palace, and .desired that the military band ordered to be in attendance should be dispensed with. VISIT OF KING LEOPOLD TO ENGLAND.—The Brus sels journals state that the King of the Belgians is to leave Balgium for England this day (Monday), on a visit to Queen Victoria. The Count de Flandre and the Princess Charlotte are to accompany his Majesty. The royal party were to sleep at Ostend, and embark this morning for Dover. The visit will last about a fortnight. A Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign-office, Downing-street, on Saturday afternoon. The Ministers present were—Viscount Palmerston, the Lord Chan cellor, Earl Granville, the Marquis of La ns d owne , th e Duke of Argyll, Sir eorge Grey, the Earl of Clarendon, Lord John Russell, Lord Panroure, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Charles Wood, the Right Hon. R. Vernon Smith, Sir W. Molesworth, Viscount Canning, and the Earl of Harrowlsy. The Council sat three hours. A new opera has been brought out at the Carcano, at Milan, the work of a new composer, Maestro Meiners. It is highly spoken of, and the usual quantum of praise is dealt out to the principal artistes, Mile. Rupini and M. Ghiglanzoni, the latter an old acquaintance at the Italian Opera here. WRECK OF THE SHIP ABROTA. — CDRACAO, June 9. The Abrota, Ogier, of Jersey, from Llanelly to this port, with coals, went on shore at the N.E. point of Little Curacao in the night of sth June, crew saved ; vessel and cargo totally lost. MUNIFICENT GIFT.—Mr. William Cooke, of Astley's Royal Amphitheatre, has presented 1001. to the new Dramatic, Equestrian, and Musical Agency and Sick Fund Association ; Mrs. Cooke 101., Mr. Henry Cooke U., and Mr. W, Cooke, jun., 51. ; making in all 1201. Mlle. Arnalia Ferraris, one of the best Italian balle rino of the day, is now exciting a fanatismo at Ravenna. LORD ELGIN AND THE EMBASSY AT CONSTANTINOPLE. —lt is underAood, in well-informed circles, that the reason why the Earl of Elgin did not receive the Go ernor Generalship of India, for which all parties admit him to be pre-eminently qualified, is, that he may pro ceed to Canstantinople, where his firmness and conci liatory disposition would find a sphere for beneficial exercise, and where Opposite qualities in the present occupant of that post have wrought so much mischief. .J/ orning Advertiser.. THE PARLIAIIENTARY RIDDLE.—Mr. Gladstone has 'disappointed us. We made sure of a speeck from him on Mr. Duncombe's motion for a new writ for London, Baron Rothschild having vacated his seat by contract ing with Government for the supply of 16,000,000/. for the public service. Never was there a finer question than this for Mr. Gladstone's genius for casuistry. Baron Rothschild has not taken his seat, the oath on the faith of a Christian being a bar to the seat, ; and how a man can have vacated a seat by becoming a contractor, which he had never taken because of his conscience, it would puzzle all mortal teen but Mr. Gladstone, the modern iEdipus, to explain. A certain seat in the house, belonging- to Llndon, has been empty for se veral years, while the representation of London has been full. Where is the member? That is the first question. He is in a limbo between being and not being a member. H e is in, like Cinderella's sister, all but the heel. He stood for the seat, ',e was elected to the seat, but sit be does not. The stage of standing is success fully pa.t, but the stage of sitting is not accomplished, and somewhere between the two is Baron 11,,thschild. The French have a proverb--a door must be either open or shut ; but it clearly does not apply to the door of the House of Commons when a Jew is con corned. Yet now the unhappy gentleman is told he has vacated his seat, and must turn out. But he may surely not unreasonably ask, " Let me turn in first." And' the configuration of members is constitutionally such, that without certain words in an oath they are no more able to sit than the cherubim, who, upon being invited to take a seat, answered that he had not the where with. The ease is a beautiful example of the virtue of tests and disabilities. Here is a man who is barred by a scruple from an object of ambition, and the Lords in their wisdom are content it should ho so. But being, in the sporting phrase, " nowhere," because be is so scrupulous, the alarm is taken lest in the character of a contractor he should introduce corruption into the house, and there is nothing in the world of which the house has such a horror as corruption. As Airs. Honour would say, it would "lieverer see a tood" on its benches than a contractor, because a contractor may possibly have corrupt dealings. But here is a man who will not forswear himself. True, that is a good reason for refusing to let him sit among honourable gentlemen ; but if he lends money to Government, he becomes forthwith so untrustworthy that the seat be has never been suffered to fill because of his scruples must, in constitutional prudence, be forfeited. Here the Jew is caught both ways. Because he has a scruple he must not sit in a Christian Legislature ; because he is a money lender to Governmenthe is to be presumed not to have a scruple, and the seat he has not been 'permitted to oc cupy is to be declared vacated. Oh for a Gladstone to reconcile these inconsistencies, and to demonstrate, in a good set Gladetonisation, how the thing could not be and yet could be, how what has never been filled can be emptied, how he who never wags a, member can cease to be the member he never was. Oh rare tests and disa bilities, bow exquisite are your *ties I—Examiner. TATEST NN,WS. THE CRIMEA. The following despatch, with Constantinople news to the 21st, contains the first private ad counts that have been received of the unsuccess ful attack on the Malakhoff Tower on the 18th : " MARSEILLES, JUNE 30. The Ganges, which left Constantinople on the 21st, has arrived. Aali Pacha, the new Grand Vizier, was expected at Constantinople. " The re-appointment of Reschid Pacha as Grand Vizier was thought probable. The English General, Williams, accompanied by Yassif Pacha, had left Erzeroum to defend Kars against the Russians. It was expected that Eupatoria would shortly be attacked by the Russians. "The news from the Crimea is of 19th June. On the 17th, at three in the morning, the allied army attacked the Malakhoff Tower and the Grand Redan. " General Brunet's division was ordered to attack the right ; Mayran's division occupied the centre, and Generl d'Autemarre and the English the left. " General d'Autemarre, at, the head of the 19th and sth Foot Chasseurs, penetrated into the Malakhoff Tower, and planted the French flag there ; but the right falling into disorder, General Eyre, who had gone beyond the Redan, and esta blished himself in a difficult position, was obliged to abandon it the next day with a heavy loss. "At seven in the morning General Pelissier recalled the troops. During, tho time the Allies overe engaged the fleets fired several broadsides, and were prepared to follow up the attack had it been successful. " Colonel Laboussiniere was killed, as was also the English Colonel Yea, General Eyre is wounded, and missing." It will be seen from the above that the Imperial Guards (the right) were under the necessity of giving way before the other troops. MARSEILLES, MONDAY, JULY 2. The Thabor, which left Constantinople on the 25th June, has arrived with 200 invalids. Despatches leave at 9 a.m. Captain Lyons was buried on the 25th. The Monitewr thus notices Lord Raglan's death : "For some days past letters received from London have stated that Lord Raglan was seri ously ill. A despatch from General Pelissier, received this day under date of June 28, ten o'clock, p.m., announces the death of the worthy general whom the Government of Queen Victoria had chosen to command our allies in the East. France will join in the regrets of General Pe lissier." The followin,g is his despatch to the Minister of War : " It is with profound regret T have to announce to you that the venerable chief of the English army breathed. his last sigh this evening at nine o'clock. We are the more grieved since his con dition had seemed for the last 24 hours much improved." PARIS, JULY 1. Further news by the Ganges state that the French, in their attack on the 18th, advanced as far as the Malakhoff Tower, but met with a ditch dug by the Russians on the previous night. It was on this account that the scaling ladders proved too short. The garrison sent up masses of troops, which, being supported by the Russian ships firing with all their guns on the approaches to the Tower, compelled the French to retreat. The Russians, trying to follow up their advantage, advanced towrds the Mamelon Vert, but being cut up by our grape-shot, were forced to retire, after enormous loss. Three English regiments having lost their chiefs, were obliged to evacuate the Grand Madan, surrounded, as they were, by a superior force. MARSEILLES, JUNE 30. Orders have been given here to prepare shipping for the embarkation of 40,000 men. STOCKHOLM, JUNE 29. Accounts from Finland state that when the news of the failure of the attack made against Sebastopol , on the 18th reached Abo on the 23d, there was a grand military parade and a Te Deum, at which the Grand Duke Nicholas was present. COPENHAGEN, JUNE 29. The session of the Grand Legislative Council of the kingdom was opened to-day. The ministers will submit the new fundamental law to the de- kboration of the Grand Council. DANTZIC, JUNE 29. Sweaborg has been bombarded. Some maga zines were blown up and various buildings fired. Nava also has been attacked with success, several cannon having been dismounted, and shipping destroyed. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, June 28 :-Iil;ciiplomatists, who evidently feel that their occupation is for a time gone, are hastening to quit the scene of their ra cent failure. Count Arnim, the Prussian Minister, is about to leave for Kissengen ; Count Lerchen feld, the representative of Bavaria, goes to Carls bad ; and Prince Gortschakoff will, in the course of the ensuing week, take a trip to Stutgard, where he will probably relate at length to his Suabian friends how he and M. de Titoff successfully op posed eight other Ministers, four of whom were " specials." Political news there is none, and it is not very likely that there will be any worthy of your notice until the winter snows put an end to the operations of the hostile armies. Th© official Wiener Zeitung, of this morning, thus announces the reduction of the army : "I joyfully embrace the Srst opportunitS , which pre sents itself of expressing my perfect satisfaction with the conduct of the men forming the Reserves, who were called out in order that the 3d and 4th armies might be placed on a war footing, and of sending them back to their homes and families. "r 4" Although the majority of the men had formed civil connections,--were married, and had families—they all promptly responded to my call. By the punctual per formance of their duties, and by their exemplary con duct and service they completely answered the end in tended. They wilt in future as faithfully and honour ably discharge their obligations as citizens as they have been accustomed to discharge their duties as soldiiers. " Lemberg, June 24, 1855." " FRANZ JOSAPH. FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY. The Memorial des Pyrenees states that the Countess de Montijo, the mother of the Em.press, is shortly expected at the Eaux-Bonnes. In consequence of the military hospitals at Toulon and Marseilles being overcrowded with sick and convalescent soldiers from the army of the East, a number of them have.been removed to Montpellier, to which place M. Goffres, physician of the first class at Toulouse,- has received orders to proceed in order to take charge of them. The case of Mademoiselle Celestine Doudet has at last been brought to a close. On Friday the affair again came before the Court of Caseation, on an appeal from the decision of the Imperial Court of Paris, which, on the 24th of April last, con demned Mademoiselle Doudet to 5 years' impri sonment for cruelty, with premeditation, to the girls Marsden, committed to her care. M. Moreau presented to the Court a report on the circum stances' of the case, and M. Morin spoke at consid erable length in favour of the appeal. The Advo cate-General Renault d'Abexi having spoken against the appellant, the Court withdrew, and, after two hours' deliberation, delivered a judgment simply confirming the decision of the other Court. ,BOURSE, JUNE 30.—CLOSING PRICES.

DANTzic, June 29.—The Vulture, 6, Captain Glasse, arrived in the roads yesterday afternoon, at 4 o'clock ; she brings the weekly mails from the fleet, the bulk of which is anchored to the north of Cronstadt, Tolboukin Lighthouse W.S.W. five miles. The subject which forms at the present moment the chief topic of conversatipn in the Baltic Fleet is the infernal machines, of which upwards of 46 have been discovered and picked up off Cronstadt during the last 10 days. One of them lately burst on the poop of the Exmouth. Admiral Seymour, Captain Louis, R.M., Flag Lieutenant Pearce, and four others were examining it at the time, and most wonderful it is that they were not all killed on the spot. Admiral Seymour is severely injured, espe cially the left eye ; Captain Louis, in both legs ; and the others have also all suffered more or less from the explosion. I am, however, only too happy to be able to state, on the best authority, that all the severe cases are progressing favourably. With regard to these diabolical inventions them selves, it is generally admitted that the prin ciple on , which they are constructed is, in itself, very ingenious and complete, but still, in conse quence probably of some miscalculation in the prac tical application of the principle, they have hitherto failed in producing the destructive effect which had doubtless been anticipated by the enemy. The Vulture, when half-way between Nargen Island and Dagerort, met, at 2 a.m., on the 27th instant, the squadron under Admiral Baynes, con sisting of four line-of-battle ships, several gunboats and mortar-vessels, en route to join the Com mander-in• Chief. On the same day the Tartar, with two mortar-vessels, also passed up the Gulf. On the 21st inst. the Amphion, 36, screw-frigate, Captain Key, while employed in reconnoitring the fortifications at Sweaborg, accidentally mistook the channel, and in consequence grounded. The boats were immediately despatched in all directions to sound, and while so employed, one of the nearest forts opened a brisk fire upon the frigate. Four shots struck her, killing one man and wounding , two others. Captain Key, however, nothing daunt ed, returned the compliment with such energy and precision, that he succeeded in blowing up a large Russian powder magazine, and occasioned other serious damage to the fort. The corn trade has, during the past week, expe rienced little or no change ; prices continue the same, and sellers show no desire to press sales, in consequence of the limited stocks and the small prospect of further supplies. Freights are taking a downward tendency, in consequence of numerous arrivals. The timber trade has been steady during the week, and several purchases have been made at fair prices. The supplies, however, from Poland will, in the timber, as well as in the corn trade, fall very far short of What has hitherto been ex pected. THE OPERATIONS IN THE SEA OF AZOFF. The Moniteur of yesterday publishes the follow ing despatch from Admiral Bruat to the Minister of Marine : " ON BOARD THE MONTEBELLO, June 15. "Monsieur le Ministre,—l have already had the honour of informing your Excellency that, immediately on receipt of the news of the evacuation of Anapa by the Russians, I sent to the spot Rear-Admiral Charner with the Napoleon and Primauguet, while Admiral Lyons sent Rear-Admiral Stewart with the Hancibal, Highflyer, and Spitfire. Admiral Lyons proposed to me to proceed together with our other vessels to Anapa, and it was agreed that we should leave on the 13th of June to cast anchor in these roadsteds, and then return to Kamiesh. The health of General Brown, which had slightly suffered from the fatigue of the last few days, obliged Admiral Lyons to postpone his depar ture; but he followed me next day, and I saw his vessels arrive before Anapa at the moment I was weigh ing anchor for Kamiesh. " We have left a strong Turkish garrison at Yenikale, to which it has been decided to add a French and an English Regiment, so as to hasten the completion of the works commenced at Cape St. Paul. These troops, supported by the steamers stationed constantly in the Straits, are sufficient to drive back the Russians should they attempt an attack on this extreme point of the peninsula. "Since I have been to Anapa I understand the necessity there was for the evacuation of that place bz , the Russian garrison. Anapa was doubtless safe from a coup de main, and its fortifications offered a deep ditch, a high escarpement in good condition, well kept parapets, 94 cannon, and 14 mortars ; but the place is provided only with a few wells of brackish water, and, once shut in, this cause alone would have compelled the garrison to surrender. The success of an attack against the fortress was therefore certain as soon as the army and fleet could act together. "The Russians left only ruins behind them ; although the evacuation was hastily made, they broke up every thing, knocked the trunnions off the 94 guns and 14 mortars, blew up most of their powder magazines, set fire to their barracks, and made five considerable breaches in the walls by blowing them up with Run powder. I think they meant to facilitate the retaking of Anapa when circumstances should be more favourable. At this moment the place is occupied by Turkish soldiers and Tunisian horsemen. The authority of Sefer Pasha, who was sent by Mustapha Pasha, Commander in-Chief of the army in Asia, was immediately recog nised by the Circassian chiefs. The readiness of this sub mission js easily explained. Sefer Pasha is himself a Circassian chief. He formerly distinguished himself by his energy of resistance to the Russians. When in 1829 the treaty of Adrianople finally handed over the fort resses of Anapa and Soudjah Kaleh to the Russians Sefer Pasha retired to Constantinople. At the demand of the Russian Ambassador he was exiled to Adrianople, whence he was not recalled till the present war broke nut. His memory was cherished in the mountains of Circassia, and the respect we saw the Circassians pay to him leaves no doubt upon the great influence he may exercise to the advantage of the Ottoman policy.--I have, &c., " BRUAT." The Moniteur also publishes a brief report from Captain de Sedaiges of the burning of Provisions at Gheisk, but it does not contain any additional in formation. DEATH OF THE EARL OF CALEDON.—We have to an nounce the demise of the Earl of Caledon, who had for some months past been in declining health, which took place at half-past eight o'clock on Saturday morning, at the family mansion on Carlton-house-terrace. The de ceased, James Depr6 Alexander, was only issue of Dept-6second Earl of Caledon,by Lady Catherine Yorke, second daughter of Philip third Earl of Hardwicke, and was born 27th July, 1812. He was formerly in the Coldstream Guards, and served with his battalion during the rebellion in Canada. In 1841 he was elected a representative peer for Ireland. His lordship married in 1845 the Lady Jane Grimston, youngest daughter of the late Earl of Verulam, by whom hp leaves a youthful family, his eldest child, Lord Alexander, suc ceeding to the earldom and extensive family (Oates. FIRE NEAR ASTLEY'S THEATRE.—On Saturday night, shortly before nine o'ciock, a rumour was prevalent that Astley's Amphitheatre had caught fire, and was burned to the ground. It turned out, however, that, instead of the theatre it , elf, a fire had broken out on the pre mises belonging to Mr. Coniston, tailor and clothier, Nos. 22 and 23, Westminster-brUge-road, in its close vicinity. So rapid were the flames that those on the premises had scarcely time to effect their retreat, and in less than ten minutes the entire structure fell with a tremendous crash, bringing d o wn in its descent a por tion of the adjoining premises. The various b r i ga d e engines and those from Bodges' distillery were speedily on,the spot, and the fire was subdued with greater ease than usual. Every vestige of property, valued, it is stated, at several thousands of pounds was, however, destroyed. LA 17 INTELLIGENCE. -(THIS DAY) QUEEN'S BENCH, GUILDHALL.

This was an action for slander brought by the P 1 tiff, formerly lady's maid to the Countess of Zee' against the defendant, who was, and is now, h o useio in her ladyship's establishment. Mr. Sergeant Wiikins and Mr. Hance were for plaintiff, and the Attorney -General and Mr. Bev& the defendant. It appeared from the opening of the case j i ) the plaintiff, who had been in the service of Lady 0 ! ley of Alderley, and the Hon. Mrs. Dunbar, nie°, the Archbishop of Armagh, entered the service of Countess of Zetland in J une , 1854 ; i mmediately on 149 some unpleasantness occurred between her, the de f6l ant, and Gunn, the groom of the chamber, in 6 4 quence of some remarks she made respec! them, Gunn at th e ti me b e i ng engaged to ' defendant's niece ; that she had found Guile Mrs. Potter's private sitting-room in the town 0 lishment in Arlington-street, Piccadilly, and had V him kissing her hand, and that she was a bad wee Shortly after plaintiff went into her ladyship's servO, pair of easy shoes was wanted for her ladyship, vill' after some time, was foaad with others in Mrs. PO drawers, which circumstance the plaintiff, at th e req. of Lady Zetland, mentioned at the steward's table , day or two after this her ladyship went to her cod, seat at Marlborough, in Yorkshire, whether she Or companied by the plaintiff and defendant, and it" there the slander complained of was spoken. She summoned one morning to Lady Zetland's room, s'i she found the defendant. Lady Zetland said to pl oi "I have dreadful charges to make against you," and, some conversation, asked Mrs. Potter, "What " a dreadful things you have to bring against this sV woman." The defendant replied she had receive d anonymous letter, which she believed to have been f ten by the plaintiff; but couched in language unfit t°, produced in a cou r t o f j us ti ce . Th e defendant 9 said that plaintiff was often under the MO of drink, which she had admitted at the steed room -table, and ' that she had made, every possible occasion, improper overtures to 6° in every hole and corner of the house, but that the f l , man had been a s econ d J osep h i n h er hands.

The petty sessions of the above court was opened morning, before the RAgi.t Hon. the Lord Mayor , Right Honourable the Recorder, Mr. Alerman Vi ° Sir Henry Muggeridge, and Sir C. D. Crosley, Slie t Mr. Under-Sheriff Farrar, Mr. Under Sheriff Crosley, &c. The first edition of the calendar contains the nap e 54 prisoners. The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, said owing to the short period that has elapsed the last session there were only fifty-four prig: for trial, but some of the charges were very serious nature. There were two of murder to be disposed of.
