The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales (1,000 of which were taken for export, and 500 on specula tion), comprising 200 Egyptian at Gil. to 91d., and 700 Surat at 34. to 51d. per lb. The Railway . Share Market opened quietly, but closed subse quently at an advance. According to a letter from Mr. Joseph Whitaker, of Liverpool, a moderate number of vessels is up at that port for Australia. The number sailed last month was nine, of 10,336 tops, with 1,601 passen gers.

The mails by the Queen from St. Helena were delivered this morning. The Gladiator has arrived in the Downes from "New South Wales, and the Sarah Ann from Laun ceston is at Gravesend.

Copy has been received of the provisions in The Aloniteu r regu l a ti ng th e new F re n c h loan. die 'Minister of Finance is authorised to inscribe in the great book of the debt the sum of rentes ne cessary to produce, at the contract prices, a capital of 700 millions of francs. if The supply (supplement) necessary to facilitate, t takes place, the liquidation of the subscrip tionsand the exp e nses of the discount resulting f r fun the anticipation of payments, must not ex ceed the capital sum of 30 millions of francs. It i 8 by some inferred from this that only 30 - ""lions of the total loan will be allowed to be Paid up at one ti me , a lth o ugh at what intervals is " v °lved in doubt. If this sum were taken monthly it would spread the payments of the loan over more than two years, a longer date, we apprehend, than th e French G overnmen t, w ith all its war expenses U pon it, could possibly give. 1 I he Mon e y M ar k e t is fully supplied to-day, ,'"n 4 ,735/. b e i ng returned to the South Sea Com proprietors.

LA T V INTELLIGENCE.---(THIS DA Y.) COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings. in Bk.nco.) The learned judges assembled this morning I.)r the purpose of delivering judgments in cases standing over from last term. KENNETT V. THE WESTMINSTER IMPROVEMENT COMMIS- SIONERS-THE VICTORIA STREET BONDS.-JUDGMENT. SAME V. SAME. HUNTER V. SAME. Mr. Baron Parke delivered judgment in these cases this morning. The learned Baron said the defen dants hail obtained rules to set aside an order of Mr. Baron Allerton which was granted under the 61 sec. of the Common Law Procedure Act, which at tracted a debt due by one M'lCenzie, a builder to the defendants. The plaintiffs in these cases had obtained judgments against the defendants on several bonds issued by them under the Westminster Improvement Act for the erection of Victoria-street, in aid of which the Go vernment had granted 50,000/. on certain condition?, and which was to be applied to making the street in question. Under the act of Parliament, com missioners were appointed who were empowered to raise money on bonds redeemable within a certain time, and to carry interest at the rate of 5/. per cent. The plaintiffs were bondholders, and sought to enforce their claims against the defendants. The grounds on which the rules had been obtained were that the defendants being merely acting as trustees for the discharge of a public duty, and bound to ad minister the funds entrusted to them in a particular manner, and to pay the different bonds issued by them equally among all the bondholders, the obligation by them to APlKenzie was not a debt within the provisions of the section of the act in question, and also that on the true construction of the bond held by the plaintiffs, and in the acts and deed of settlement under which they were issued, the plaintiffs were not entitled to a preference which they would attain over the other bondholders if these attachments could be supported, but that they were only entitled to be paid pan: passu with the rest of the bondholders. He was clearly of opinion, in which opinion the court fully concurred, that these debts could not be attached, as that would confer a preference on the plaintiffs over the rest of the bondholders. The rules obtained in these cases must be made absolute for discharging the order of the learned judge who had granted the attachments. Judgment accordingly. QUEEN'S BENCH.—GUILDHALL. (Before Lord Campbell and a Special Jury.) WATERS AND ANOTHER V. THE MONARCH INSURANCE COMPANY. This wai an action brought by the plaintiffs, flour merchants and wharfingers, carrying on business in Holland-street, to recover of the defendants the sum of 1,8461., the value of 700 sacks of flour destroyed by fire on the night of the 16th Feb. last. The facts of the ease were admitted subject to a deduction of 471., the value of a certain number of sacks of flour on the premises, the property of another person, and insured in this office, which amount had been paid, and a further number in sured in another office, the value and payment for which had not been ascertained. A verdict was accordingly taken for the plaintiffs, subject to the above deductions, a special case being made on his lordship's notes to argue the important and difficult point of law as regards the defendants' liability. HENDERSON V. AUSTRALIAN ROYAL MAIL STEAM-PACKET COMPANY. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover of the defendants the sum of 20,0001. for bringing home safely from Australia the steam-ship Adelaide, the pro perty of the company, and valued at 70,0001. It will be recollected that this ship, which was built on the Thames, and designed on a new principle which it was thought would be found superior to the old mode of ship building, proved to be a failure, and was with diffi culty kept afloat on her outward voyage to Sydney by the united exertions of the passengers and crew, arriving at her destination after a lengthened passage►. The company wishing to get the ship horns again ad vertised for a competent person to bring her home, offering to pay his passage to Sydney and aP.I reasonable expenses, with a salary of 501. per month, and a fair remuneration proportionate to his su'acess. The plaintiff, a captain in the navy, and a retired master attendant of her Majesty's Dock-yard at Devonport, undertook the work, proceeded to Sydney and brought the ship home. The defendants having declined to pay the plaintiff what he considered a fair remuneration pro portionate to his success and the value of the ship, he bad brought this action. The case came before the supe rior courts during last term, on a demurrer as to the defendants' liability under the agreement, it not being under their seal ; but the Court decided they were bound by it. The question for the jury to-day was to assess the amount of remuneration to which the plaintiff was entitled. The case had not concluded when our despatch left. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) (Before Mr; Baron•Alderson.) Henry Palmer, 33, was indicted for feloniously being at large before the expiration of the period to which he had been sentenced to transportation. It appeared that the, prisoner was tried at this court in October, 1847, for a street robbery, and, upon his conviction, he was sentenced to be transported for ten years. In pursuance of that sentence he was removed to the Warrior, hulk, at Woolwich, where he remained until September, 1849, when he and another convict, named Slater, made their escape. The latter has never since been heard of, and no clue was obtained to the whereabouts of the prisoner until the 9th of June, when Inspector Brennen met him in the Hackney-road. Im mediately upon the prisoner getting sight of the officer he ran off acd attempted to make bia escape, but was pursued, and, after a desperate struggle, taken into cus tody ; and before the officers could prevent him he put his finger into his mouth and forced off a signet ring, which he swallowed. Mr. Sleigh, who appeared for the prisoner, said he could not deny that the prisoner was the person who had been convicted in 1847 ; but he %v as instructed that since he had been at liberty he had got his livelihood by working at his trade as a carpenter; and he called some witnesses, who stated that they bad employed the pri soner upon several occasions during the last four years, and that he had conducted himself honestly. The jury found the prisoner guilty. In answer to a question that was put by the Court, Mr. Cope, the governor of Newg ate, stated that th e three prisoners, Bell, Berry, and B rown, who esca p ed from Newgate some time back, inf ormed him that the y were assembled at the house of the p risoner. Mr. Baron Alderson sentenced the prisoner to four years' penal servitude. NEW COURT (Before the Recorder.) Just as the court was about rising C. W. W. Bevan, late secretary of the Depesit and General Life Assurance Company, who was upon Monday convicted of stealing a cheque, the property of the directors of the said com pany, was brought up for sentence. The Recorder, in a brief address, sentenced the pri soner to 18 months' imprisonment and hard labour. This concluded the business of the session, and the courts sit again upon Monday, August 20.

Sir Michael Dillon Bellew, Bart., of Mount Bellew, in the county of Galway, died yesterday at Rathmines. A few days ago he received the intelligence of the death of his fourth son, Lieutenant William Bellew, from the effects of wounds received at the taking of the Quarries before Sebastopol. The paragraph which has appeared in some of the newspapers, to the effect that her Majesty the Queen is about to present the Crimean medal to the wounded and invalid soldiers at Chatham, is entirely without foundation. We hasten to contradict this report, as it is calculated to excite expectations and consequent disap pointment in those brave men, whose feelings all are most anxious to gratify. BA.ILWAY INTELLIGENCE. GREAT WESTERN OF CANADA. A special meeting of the Erglish pri,prietors of this company was convened by adverLiFernent at the London Tavern, at noon yesterday; Mr. J. B. Smith, M.P., in the chair. The advertisement having been read by the Secretary (Mr. Blackstone Bakes), and the usual pnliminarics having been observed, The CH AMMAN said the meeting had been called to gether for a twofold purpose—firstly, of consulting the proprietors relative to raising 1,500,0001. of additional capital ; and secondly, of eelpowering the Eng,lish shareholders, who Ilea' seven-tenths of the whole property of the undertaking, to vote by proxy at the Canadian Beard, and also, at the acre time, to afford the drrector s an opportunity of giving informa tion to the proprietors in regard to the position and prospects of the comipany. Having alluded to the re port of a previous yi?ar with a view to show the money which bad been requ ired to meet the expenses of the line, the lease of the Toronto line and the construction of new buildings, an d the manner in which that money had been raised, the chairman went on to call the atten tion of the shareholders to two objects which the di rectors now had in contemplation ---- namely, the doubling of the line I)etween Hamilton and London, and the completion of th r) Sarnia branch. He then went on to say that the sum raised by the present call would be sufficient to meet all expenses for the present year ; but if it should be decid ed upon to carry out the two objects he bad mentioned additional money would be required. Adverting to the traffic over the line he said that last year's report had estimated the traffic from July last year to July in the present t year at 7,000/. (currency)per week. That was the case up to the 21st January last, during which period the tralc averaged 7,4901. per week, but since then the traffic; had increased to an average of 9,0001. per week. Whilst the ordinary traffic, as com pared with the last :rear, had increased fully 50 per cent. the goods traffio haisl increased by 150 per cent., thus showing that the grids traffic would continue to increase if they maintained sufficient rolling stock for its conveyance. Some difficulty bad been experienced in this respect; but the want had been supplied and the rolling stock was now adequate to the amount of traffic over the line. Tina Chairman concluded, amidst ap plause, by calling upon the late vice-president of the Canadian board (Mr. Lingston) to state to the meeting the results of his personal inspection of the undertaking. Mr. LINGSTON, accordingly, at some length, and wish much detail, went into a statement of the actual working and position of the line, which was in all respects highly gratifying. Some discussion, originated by Mr. Brookshank, afterwards took place as to the propriety of the share holders having some control over the money confided to the Canadian Board, and also of their being con sulted previous to any further call being made for the purposes to which it was intended to be applied. The CHAIRMAN said the proprietors might place impli cit confidence in the discretion and care of the Canadian board, who were most anxious to have the co-operation of the English proprietors in whatever they undertook ; and also stated that the board would be willing to meet the wishes of the proprietors in the respect pointed out. A resolution approving of the course hitherto adopted by the board was afterwards moved by Mr. Harris (of Darlington), and was carried unanimously ; and after a vote of thanks to Mr. Lingston and to the chairman, The meeting broke up, the proceedings having occu pied upwards of two hours.

For many years we do not recollect such a fine ap pearance of game at this early season of the year. The grouse are both numerous and strong on the wing, and should other 14 days of good weather continue the young will be able to take care of themselves ; and those southern friends who may visit us this season may depend on good sport in all districts of the county, from Thurso to Ord.—North British Daily Mail. Is it true that disease is among the grouse this season ? Have the birds bred well or not this year ? Will the young broods be strong on the 12th of August ? These are questions we have heard asked so often that we propose answering them, for the information of a large number of gentlemen who annually throw off the dust of official life for a time on the heath clad mountains of Scotland. We are enabled to answer the more readily from a great number of reports which have been kindly brought under our notice, from gamekeepers and others whose business it is about this period to examine the state of the young coveys. The first question, as to the prevalence of disease, is easily disposed of. The tapeworm scourge, which about every seventh year decimates the grouse, is not the disease of this year. Wherever dead birds Lave been found the cause has been owing to their_ feeding too freely on the frost-bitten heather—thus filling their crops with food as indigestible as rotten wood. Since the spring of 1838 no frosts have occurred to cause such destruction to the heath, whiny, and brooms as last spring ; consequently, wherever the heather was not covered with snow, it perished as effectually as if burned. Regarding the second question there is generally but one opinion, viz., that the number of eggs in the nest have been fewer than usual, and that young broods now mus ter from five to seven out of every nest. On the lower grounds they will be proportionally more plentiful than on the high grounds, as the snow remaining long on the higher grounds prevented the birds nesting there. But many of those best versed in the habits of grouse maintain that before the shooting season many broods will find their way to the mountain tops. Of the third point, which regards the prospect of sport in the ensuing season, we can assure sportsmen, as the re sult of the extended inquiries, that their sport will be equal to the average of seasons. All who were on the northern hills last year are aware that from the earliness and wildness of the birds nothing like the quantities were bagged that ought to have been, thus leaving more than the usual breeding stock. From this we infer that there will be few di,iappointments. Black tails will be plentiful enough on the 12th day of August, and if the sportsman now and then encounters a brood of cheepers ho has only to take his gun from his shoulder, and, like a true sportsman, wait till such broods can fly, as he knows grouse do fly when full grown.—lnver%ess Courier.

TETE ROYAL MESSAGE. The Marquis of BREA.DALBANE informed their lordships that the reply of their lordships to the mes sage of her Majesty with respect to the late Lord Raglan had been duly presented to her Majesty, and had been very graciously received. THE MILITIA IN SCOTLAND. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH called the attention of their lordAips to the present system of billeting the militia in Scotland. It had now become an intolerable burden upon the inhabitants. If it bad been much longer continued he was afraid that circumstances might arise of the most disagreeable character. He had, as colonel of one of those militia regiments, been much abused on account of the belief that he was a party to this arrangement. So far from him being a party, he had urged the subject before upon the attention of the noble lor, and at one time had it in contemplation to erect temporary huts himself for the militia in his neighbour hood, but was induced to give up that idea from a belief that the men would have been ordered away in a short time. Lord PANMIIRE admitted that the noble duke had fair reason for complaint in respect to the evil com plained of. He was afraid, however, that this was one of the events incident to the war. The number of mili tia in barracks was far beyond any accommodation which could be afforded by the ordinary barracks in the country. He had endeavoured, as far as possible, to mitigate the evil, but he confessed he was not as yet able to remedy the evil complained of. He could assure the noble duke that, as far as it was possible, he would endeavour to provide better accommodation for the sol diers. THE EXTRA PAY TO SOLDIERS. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGII wished to ask the noble lord the Minister of War a question with respect to the new plan announced by himself the other evening for increasing the pay of the army on active service. Not having been present on that occasion, he could only take his information as to what the noble lord stated from the reports in the public newspapers. These reports stated the noble lord proposed to add one shilling a-day to the pay of the soldiers engaged in field operations, and that such addition was to have a retro spective effect from the time of the landing in the Crimea. Lord PANMURE said that that part of the report was a mistake. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said, he was glad that point was explained, for it was an important one, involving an expenditure of about 500,0001. The noble lord was understood to say that he considered his plan was more economical than that of increasing the bounty. He would remind the noble lord that if he added 141. to the bounty, still the plan proposed of in- : creasing the pay would be much more expensive t'ian even that enormous addition to the bounty. The number of men to claim this additional pay would be not less than 40,000, the expenditure would consequently amount to 730,0001. a-year. What he wished to know was as to the noble lord's intention whether, together with this increase of pay, he at the same time intended to continue the large increase of bounty that had been made within the last few weeks. Lord PANMURE stated that since be bad made the announcement referred to, he had been informed by se veral military men of eminence and experience that un less the soldier got the increased pay into his own hands the plan would not be likely to succeed. In the face of such representations he did not think he would be acting prudently in incurring so heavy an expense, if in the end it was not likely to be successful in effecting the object he bad in view. On the other hand, he felt that the payment of this additional sum into the hand of the soldier would he attended with considerable danger as regarded the discipline and good conduct of the army. Instead, there fore, of pursuing nis original plan, he proposed to pay into the hands cf the soldier as an extra field allowance, in the same way as the field allowances were made to the officers-6d. a•day. And with regard to the other 6d., the soldier was to have the benefit of the arrangement as existed in the royal navy, by which the soldier would be enabled to allot the whole or any part of this 6d. a-day to his family or relations. He proposed that the 6d., if not allotted by the soldier, should, under certain circumstances, be stopped by the commanding officer, but to be invested for the soldier's benefit, and not to be - forfeited unless condemned by court-martial.

Water. The Wem and Bronygarth Roads Bill was read a third time and passed. NUISANCES REMOVAL BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. Clause 8 having reference to the removal of anything " offensive or injurious to health" caused some discus sion, it being proposed to omit the words " offensive or," Dr. Mitchell remarking that the sanitary condition of the people depended more upon care in their eating and drinking than the inhaling noxious effluvia. The districts around estuaries pro duced a greater amount of mortality than inland dis tricts, which the hon. member illustrated by showing the rate of mortality in the estuary of the Avon being greater than at Bristol and the Medway than that of Liverpool. The omission was agreed to. Clause 9 provides that local authorities shall appoint an inspector. Mr. STANFORD moved that the word "may " be substituted for " shall," so as to make it optional to ap point such an officer, because in many districts persons might be found ready and willing to discharge the duties without remuneration. a Lerd LOVAINE objected to the amendment. It was of great importonce such an officer should be ap pointed, and be made a compulsory appointment. inde- After some discussion, the amendment was negat iv e d.o_mcer Lord LOVAINE objected to the reiieving o ffice did n o t - 0 - u t a being appointed the inspector, because he was sufficiently independent person. s disease pr Lord EBRINGTON considered him ogee did any hni n is t A with the si o. pendent officer, and more likely to do other person, because his removal ddeuirenddpauperism h , e h b e o w a r a d s m o f o r g e u c a r o against the am ate of the parish and the condition o f "Ws than any other person. nd t v h e e °frrss'lo. l o wer The feeling of the house being amendment it was withdrawn.

GENERALWRANGEL'S COLLECTION OFVASES.—AIetter in the Semaphore of Marseilles says :—" The Phlegeton has taken to Odessa to the Velem), which is about to re turn to France, a number of pictures and works of art taken at Kerteh. These objects have not been pillaged, but come from the country seat of. General Wrangel, commander-in-chief of the Russian troops on the coasts of the Sea of Azoff. He is a great amateur of the fine arts, and a good judge of painting and sculp• ture. He had succeeded in forming a varied collection of works of art, and in it were some objects which could have occupied an honcemble place in - the first museums of Europe. Ire possessed, .amongst other things a choice collection o f Et rusc a n vase s, an d o f ex tremely rare . antiquities ,of the country, At present these objects are destined for the Louvre. At the mo ment at which the troops were about to take possession of Kertch, everything that was most precious in the house of the Russian general had been placed in a large barge which was taken in tow by a small steamer ; but the steamer being afraid of capture cast off the barge, and we took it, so that its contents are a lawful prize." STATE OF TRADE.—Between seasons the lace trade necessarily retains its quiescent posture, and anything at all in motion is of a prospective character.. The Ameri cans have up to this time certainly not taken their ave rage amount of our produce, and may therefore be com pelled to operate more extensively on that account on the resumption of business. Hosiery is this week ex tremely dull, the inexplicable resumption of speculation in cotton and the refusal of spinners to accept former rates having brought manufacturing activity to a pause. The London houses having this week concluded stock taking, are in process of sorting their goods ; and as spin ners by their demands, and manufacturers by their cau tion, have, betwixt them, reduced manufacturing stocks 6xtreniely low, activity may possibly be renewed on the resumption of business, so that the future still continues hopefnl.—Nottinghamshire Guardian.

DEPARTMENTAL RAILWAY COMPANY OF FRANCE.-- A prospectus Las been published of this company, with a capital of 1,000,0001,, of which half is to be subscribed in England. The object of the company is to execute the various sections necessary to complete the network of French railways, by laying down cheap connecting lines on the track of existing roads. Whatever may be the prospects of the enterprise, the readiness of English capitalists to embark in it is likely t o b e di m i n i s h e d by the recent proceedings in connection with the Western of France Railway for removing as many of the English directors as possible.
