The Report of the Select Committee appointed on Mr. ROEBUCK'S motion was last night pre sented to the House of Commons. From the anxious care displayed by the Government in the selection of its members, and their palpable adhe sion to the principle laid down by one of their number, Sir CHARLES Woon, at the time of the nomination of the Commercial Crisis ComMittee, it was tolerably clear that everything practicable would be done to screen the delinquents through whose misconduct the privations and sufferings of as gallant a body of men as were ever seat forth from any country were occasioned, and who were responsible for a large proportion of the mortality by which the ranks of that gallant army was thinned—whose apathy and indifference occasioned a far greater destruction of human life than the Russian shot or steel. The attempt to do this is manifest ; but, despite the Ministerial bias of a majority of the Committee—despite their resolution to prevent the most startling revelations—facts have been elicited of the most heartrending character, which fasten Criminality of a very serious description on some of the mem bers of the ABERDEEN Cabinet, and on sundry subordinate officials, and which prove beyond the possibility of doubt the imperative necessity of a large and comprehensive measure of Administra tive Reform—a total change in the system under which such intolerable abuses were possible, and the exemplary punishment of those responsible therefore, through sins either of omission or com mission. If a boiler bursts through the negligence or incompetency of the party in charge, he may be convicted of the manslaughter of all who have lost their lives through his default ; and shall we suffer the destruction of thousands of our fellow subjects to remain unavenged because the offend ers are of a better class, or because the victims were sacrificed on the altar of routine, in strict accordance with a long collection of vicious pre cedents ? No. England, justly indignant, de mands that retributive justice shall fall on those who have so deeply injured the best and bravest of her children, and that the delinquents shall bitterly expiate the wrongs and evils for which they are justly responsible. Fortunately, the House of Commons is not limited to the diluted Report. It has also the evidence on which it was founded. The answers to more than twenty-one thousand questions re main on record, as abundant data to warrant much more stringent and decisive conclusions than the carefully-chosen Committee were willing to arrive at. Much valuable information was con cealed in consequence of the decision of a majority of the Committee not to allow the production of the secret instructions from the Board of Ad miralty to. the Commanders of the Baltic and Euxine Fleets, and to restrain the publica tion of other matters, where publicity was especially desirable. But there is still suffi cient not merely to justify, but imperatively to demand, the speedy and decisive action of the chosen representatives of the British people. It is impossible within the limits of a single article to enter at any length into the various points referred to in the deplorable narrative of privation and suffering en the one side, and of gross inefficiency and culpable negligence on the other. The heads of the inquiry conducted by the Committee were— " Ist.—The condition of our army before Sebastopol. "2dly.—The conduct of the depa r t ments, b oth at home and abroad, whose duty it h as been to minister to the wants of that army." The matters relating to the first topic will ex cite the deepest grapathy—to the s econ d the fierce and burning indignation of the people. There is, indeed, abundant materials for both, and our first care should be to make the utmost amends to the sufferers, and if we do not severely punish, the wrong doers; at least to Lclop! - every possible precaution agaiust the recur •ence of the like calamities. The cold earth has ,losed. over many of the victims, but there are few who have not left relatives and friends to whom iotne recompence, however inadequate, may not be offered for their irreparable losues. Even a iimple recognition by the nation may convey some legree of balm to their wounded feelings. The Committee report that the suffering of the irmy " resulted mainly from the circumstances under which the expedition to the Crimea was undertaken and executed." Tho Admin istration by whom it was ordered were profoundly ignorant as to the opposition that night be anticipated. They looked for an imme liate triumph, and made no provision for a winter campaign. This ignorance was the teterrima causa aiali, the fountain and origin of all the mischief hat followed.. Every true-hearted Englishman ill concur in the expression of admiration and gratitude for the patience and fortitude displayed by the sufferers during their arduous trials, and t'ervently join in the aspiration that " every British army may in future display the valour xhich this noble army has displayed, and that ~ one may thereafter be exposed to such sufferings LS are recorded in the Report." The accounts hitherto received of the massacre f the boat's crew of H.M.S. Cossack, while land ing prisoners, under the protection of a flag of truce, at Hango, and to which we referred in our impression of Saturday, by no means explained the cold-blooded brutality of that inhuman atro city, which has placed not only the infamous actors in the sanguinary outrage, but the Govern ment that could shelter the perpetrators of such t crime, far beyond the pale of civilisation. An luthentic account was last night given by Sir CHARLES WOOD of the various circumstances con fleeted with the event, which deprives the blood 'hirsty miscreants of the shadow of a pretext for saying that there had been any mistake or mis conception. If ever there was a wilful, deliberate, Led cold-blooded murder, it was that of the -, fficers and seamen of the Cossack, at the very moment when they were engaged in an act of mercy to the countrymen of the infamous assassins. If ever there was an act of diabolical vindictive less and profound disregard for every moral ob ligation, it was that of which " the thing" —we cannot call it man—who commanded the Musco vite imurderers was guilty—an act which should call down the vengeance of all civilised nations, tnd which should insure the condign punishment of the offenders even by Russian hands. It appears that the Cossack had some time ago taken and destroyed some coasting vessels off Hango, and that three persons were carried off as prisoners—that Admiral Dim:us, anxious not to visit with any unnecessary severity the trade of the country so long as the communications and sup plies between St. Petersburg and the Gulf of Finland were interrupted, directed the Cossack to put back b Hango and restore to liberty the three persons so captured, and font other pri soners, who requested to be landed in the same place. This was accordingly done ; and now mark the manner in which this tender consideration for the enemy's trade was recom pensed. The Cossack anchored a short distance from Hango, and sent her cutter, under the com mand of Lieutenant GENESTE, with the liberated prisoners, and an ordinary boat's crew. The flag of truce was prominently displayed the entire time. It must have been visible for at least :calf an hour before the boat approached the jetty. One person was only visible on the shore, whe ran away, and the prisoners were landed with their baggage ; the officers (three in number) also landing, while the crew remained in the boat. Such was the state of affairs, when some three or four hundred Russian soldiers who pru dently kept out of sight so long as they thought the party were armed came to tho jetty. Lieut. GENESTE waved the flag of truce, and explained the reason of their landing, and a Finnish Captain (one of the prisoners) also took the flag of truce and added his testimony to that of the British officer. The Muscovite savage in command of the detachment not only understood, but was able to speak English. Ho answered the unarmed men engaged in the mission of mercy " that he did not cars for the flag of truce, but would " show how the Russians could fight ; where upon some hundred Russian soldiers immediately fired on the officers and Finnish prisoners on the jetty, killing them all, and then fired into the boat until every man fell. They then rushed into the boat, threw some bodies overboard, dragged one wounded man out, and bayonetted him on the jetty, and retired, leaving five bodies for dead in the boat." The skulking cowards thought that they had removed every witness to their awful crime. Tn order to do so they had murdered their own countrymen ; but such atrocity could not pass unnoticed. One of the men, the sole survivor of twenty-five, who had been wounded by two balls, contrived to cut the fastenings of the boat, and to scull her from the jetty. He was rescued to bear witness of the unparalleled infamy of these Russian miscreants, and detailed the awful and heartrending narrative above referred to. What steps will now be taken to bring justice on the heads of these cold-blooded assassins? We can scarcely conceive that the Government of St. Petersburg could sanction or connive at such conduct. Should the Russians not execute the criminals themselves, measures of retaliation of a very stringent character ought to be adopted. There is one significant fact alluded to. Ad miral DUNDAS was " anxious not to visit with Un necessary severity the trade of the country." This is similar to the policy which spared Odessa to be a scourge to our troops. It is a continuance of the attempt to wage a rose-water war. We fear it may be directly traced to that Germanism which has already led to so much mischief, and at which the people of England are so justly indignant. Russia does not understand such leniency which pro tracts the War, and is really cruelty to our own gallant soldiers and sailors and our over-burdened tax-payers. ROYAL VISIT TO FORT PlTT.—This day her Majesty pays her long-talked•of visit to the General Hospital, Fort Pitt, for the purpose of distributing to the Crimean heroes their richly earned mesa's. A telegraphic mes sage reached the Commandant at 7 o'clock last evening, when immediate communication was made to Fort Pitt. The names of such men as are entitled to a medal will he submitted to her Majesty, stating their respective wards, and nature of wounds. A guard of honour is to be at the Strood station at 10 o'clock, and 2 subalterns, 2 sergeants, and 42 rank and file to be stationed at the gates of Fort Pitt, and a royal salute fired on her Ma,. jesty reaching that Fort. A matrimonial alliance is about to place between the Hon. Wm. H. Portman, M.P., eldest son of Lord P. man, and the Hon. Miss Fitzwilliam, daughter of Selina Viscountess Milton, and grand-davgliter of the Earl The choice of the trustees of the living of Christchurch, Hampstead, has fallen on the Rev. E. H. Bickersteth, rector of Hinton, in Dorsetshire, son of the late Rev. Edward Bickersteth, rector of Watton, Herts. Mr. Charles Braham has returned to England, after an absence of six years in Italy. The Irish claim General Pelissier as the son of a coun tryman. It is said that his father was a Limerick gen tleman, a Mr. Palisser, who was obliged to fly from Ire land during the troubles of 1798. LONDON-BRIDGE. YrAterday workmen commenced widening the pavement for foot passengers on the South wark side of London-bridge. The arrangements for the regulation of carriage traffic over this bridge are working satisfactorily. An improved system of wires for the electric tele graph, by which they will be less exposed to irregula rity, malevolence, and wantoness, is in course of opera tion in Paris ; and as far as the experiment has been tried is likely to prove eminently successful. A computation, originating at Vienna, places the number of the Allied armies near Sebastopol, at 160,000 —viz., 100,000 French, 20,000 English, 15,000 Sardi nians, 25,000 Turks (without including the troops at Eneatoria and in reserve at Balaklava). CAMBRIDGE, Jurtz 18.—Professor Blunt, Margaret Professor of Divinity, expired at his house yesterday. afternoon. His health had been manifestly failing dur ing the last six months, but his decline during the last n te utae onth was very ra pid, so muc h so that many of his roue frie n d s w ill hardly be prepared for the melan choly event. LATEST NEWS. According to telegraphic despatches from Gene ral Pelissier of the 16th, received in Paris yester day, the general state of affairs was most satisfac tory. The Allies were rapidly completing their new batteries, which would soon open fire with terrible effect. THE MASSACRE AT HANGO. H.M.S. COSSACK, OFF CRONSTADT, JUNE 11. On the morning of the 26th May, the Cossack and Eck stood close into Hango, and observed several vessels an chored inside the numerous islands. The boats of both ships were sent away armed, in charge of Lieut. Field (Cossack), to bring the vessels out. On the boats getting in sight of these vessels they made sail and ran on shore, and were deserted by their crews. On the boats boarding and taking possession of them, they were found to be firmly grounded, and, as the tele graphs were at we,rk along the coast from a very early hour, and there was every reason to believe that troops were or would soon be in the vicinity, as several persons were seen lurking about the rocks, and the men being exposed on all sides to any attack of musketry, the boati being in a narrow creek, the thickly-wooded shore and rocks affording every facility to the enemy, the vessels were set on fire and destroyed. They were two large galliots belonging to St. Petersburg (empty), a brigantine laden with wood, and two schooners, one of which, laden with grain, for Ekness or Sweaborg, was bought out, and three prisoners. The ships anchored at Hango Head for the night. Early next merring a sloop was brought out from behind the ruined forts of Hango, and destroyed. Some persons were seen near the telegraph. Both vessels left and joined the Admiral at Biorke Bay. The Admiral, after seeing the prisoners, ordered the vessels back again to land them at Hango, or where they chose, and four more Russian prisoners were received on board the Cossack, at Nargen, and requested to be landed with them at Hango. On the forenoon of Juno 4h, the Cossack stood close in and sent the cutter away with a flag of truce to land the prisoners. In the boat besides were Lieut. L. Geneste, Dr. R. T. Easton, Mr. C. Sullivan, Masters- Assistant, and three stewards ; a Finnish Captain, taken prisoner here on the 26th May, informed us there were no troops here and the inhabitants would trade, and that the stewards could get stock, &c. As the boat pulled in towards the shore she was lost sight of behind the islands, the ship standing off and on under easy sail. There being no signs of the cutter's return, about 4 o'clock the gig, with a flag of truce, in charge of Lieutenant Field, was sent in search. She was ob served to be pulling along the coast in search of the cutter, so the ship stood close in and anchored near the ruined fort. About 8 o'clock the gig returned, having seen the cutter secured under a jetty inside several small wood boats and several dead bodies in ber : fearing an ambush or treachery the gig did not attempt to bring the cutter out, but returned to the ship. Several per sons were seen a little distance off waving to the gig to land. About 3 o'clock next morning both vessels steamed in close to the telegraph station, and shortly after the cutter was observed with one man in her, apparently wounded, sculling towards the ship. A boat was sent to her assistance, and she was brought alongside, having in her, John Brown, ordinary seaman, a young man of colour, the only survivor. After being helped up the side he said, " They are all killed." Afterwards, in the sick bay, he made the following statement : " On the cutter, with a flag of truce flying, getting alongside the jetty or landing-place, near the village of Hango, the officers and lib era t e d prisoners jumped out, and Lieut. Gonesto held up a flag of truce to a number of Rus sian troops, who had suddenly spzun,g up from the cover of houses and rocks—about 500, dressed as riflemen, and armed with muskets, swor d s , an d b ayone t s — an d told them what it meant, and why they landed ; they replied ' that they did not care a d---n for flags of truce there, and would show them how the Russians could fight,' or words to that erect. A volley was then fired at the officers and liberated prisoners, and afterwards on the boat, until all were supposed to be killed. The Russians jumped into the boat, and after throwing several dead bodies over board, lying on the arms in the bottom of the boat they found Henry Glidden, A. 8., who was only wounded ; they took him out of the boat and bayonetted him on the wharf; John Brown, lying beside him, and severely wounded, feigned death ; h e was dragged from ono end of the boat to the other, but luckily not thrown over board. They then took the arms, magazine, colours, kc., for which they will no doubt have a Te, Deunt sung. The officers were shut down, and the liberated prisoners first. Dr. Easton was the first who fell, and the Finnish Captain took the flag of truce from Lieutenant Geneste, and waved it, shouting ' A flsg of truce l'—which had been previously explained to them before they fired. The Russians spoke English, and the person who led them, front his dress and appearance, seemed to be an officer. The Rus sians yelled and fired on the men before they could defend themselves ; indeed, there was not an attempt made. " The boat was found to be completely riddled above the waterline; it was lucky she escaped without a hole through her bottom, as she would have filled. It was evident that the Russians intended to have left none to tell the tale, but it has pleased Providence to ordain it otherwise. The ships fired a few shot and rockets at the telegraph, but a fog coming on they were obliged to haul out into deeper water. There were no troops seen ; the cowardly ruffians had evi dently gone way. It was not thought prudent to attempt to get the remaining bodies." The following list is correct : L.

It will be asked iu England, " Where are the gun boats 3" " Aye, where Lying idle with the line-of battle ships. The admiral has ordered the captains of line-of-battle ships to consider the screw gunboats (ten ders) as one of the ship's boats, so there is nothing but scrubbing and polishing going on. The Bothnia block ading squadron was sent away only yesterday. The Ajax is to remain at Ledsund, the Hogue at Nargen, the Cresar at Baro Sound. The Merlin and Firefly stood in close to Cronstadt on Saturday, and three infernal machines exploded, doing considerable damage to the Merlin. We can see 10 line-of-battle ships ready for sea, and a great number of steamers, some with their steam up, in Cronstadt. I think it right again to mention that the flag of trues was flying clear when the cutter was about half way from the ship, and distinctly visible from the shore, and continued so until she landed. JUNE 11. The combined fleets are still lying before Cronstadt, spending the time in reconnoitring the enemy, in exer cising the men aloft, at great gun drill, manning and arming boats, &c. On Tuesday, June sth, the Hogue, Colossal, Magi cienue, Amphion, and the gun-boat Gleaner were sect on detached service to Barosound, followed by the Locust, with a collier in tow. 6th.—The Firefly arrived from Faro with the which were brought there from Dantzic by the Princess Alice. Lam sorry to say that Lieutenant Hannant, the officer commanding the !atter, has fallen a victim to the small-pox at Faro Hosp:tal. He was an universal favourite, and is very much regretted. The Arrogant and Driver arrived, the latter with two col liers in tow. In the evening a we'come supply of bul lecke arrived from Elsinore in the Mercator. 7th.--At 2 p.m. the Porcupine arrived with the Teazer and a collier in tow ; at 3 p.m. the Mercator parted company ; at 7.30 p.m. the Lightning joined the fleet from Nargen, bringing dzspatchee for Ad miral Dundas from the Cossack cruising off Hango head. She brings also news of a most melancholy and atrocious outrage committed by some Russian troops upon a boat which endeavoured to land under a flag of truce, with the charitable intention of setting 10 pri soners at liberty, How this kindness was received will be seen by the following narrative. The Cossack, 20, Captain E. G. Fanshawe, was cruising off Hango Head on the 6th o f J une, and being ordered to land 10 Rus sians she bad on board, who had been taken from some woodhoats the Merlin and herself had captured and burnt, she attempted to do so by sending them in a boat carrying a flag of truce. In that boat was the Crew of nine men, Lieutenant Geneste, in com mand, Mr. U. Easton, the surgeon, Mr. Sullivan, mas ter's assistant, two litewar Is (who went in hopes of buy ing some provisions ), and the 10 prison,rs. On nearing the shore they fous,d about 500 or 600 soldiers on the beach, and as th-a boat ran alongside as tof or jetty the three officers ju m p e d upon froisl her, when the officer in comnia-id of the soldiers called out in Eng lish, " that he, would have nothing to do with the damned flag of, truce," and immediately ordered his men to fire. Mr. C reneste, Mr. Easton, and Mr. Sullivan,fell at the first vo ll ey. One of the prisoners then held up the flag, which Mr. Geneste had when he fell, but be was inst aptly shot ; some of the men then jumped ashore to , Aesist the others, but only to meet the same fate, for v olley after volley was mercilessly poured upon them an' 1 the boat, until it was supposed all were killed, when t' JO Russians came down robbed there of every thing worth taking away. The Cossack, atter wait ing s arise time for the boat, sent another in search of it, which picked it up a short distance from the land, with one poor fellow in it struggling with one arm to scull the boat, whila the other dangled at his side with three bullets in it When wounded he had fallen to the 'oottom of the boat, and as the water came in through the ,shot holes it revived him, and finding himself alone effo:amo c og t rn h a i dead m n s aged t c o o ge rd t a th es e , bohaet, to w i s t e l a i , a u l n m t o il st he su w p a e s rh p u ic m k a e n d up.

B:h.--The Royal Adelaide, transport, arrived with an other cargo of bullock, , , and having distributed them to the fleet, left again in the evening. 4.40 p.m.—The Pylades parted company to relieve the Cossack, who is ordered to join the Admiral for a court of inqury. The Lightning accompanied her as far 139 Nargen. 9th.-:—At 8 a.m. the Vulture, Harrier, and transport Rob Roy arrived ; the latter with provisions from Eng land. At noon, the Merlin, carrying the French Admiral Penand and French and English captains, proceeded to reconnoitre Cronstadt. They were attended by the Dra gon, Firefly, and the corvette D'Assas, going first along the north side of the island they approached within 4,000 yards of the block ships lying iu the open water between Cronstadt and St. Petersburg. They consisted of four liners, five frigates, and two corvettes moored in a line along the three-fathom bank, with their broadsides bearing upon the northern passage. Inside these, 14 steam gun-boats lay at anchor, and under the wall of Man-of-war Harbour, anchored in three lines, were 24 row gun-boats. When the Merlin went in so close, two of the steam gun-boats came out, and one fired a heavy shot at her, but it fell short. In the Man-of-War Har• bour were 17 line-of-battle ships, four of them fully rigged and the others in progress. Between this har bour and Fort Kronslot were 10 steamers of various sizes, some of them screws, and between Kronslot and Menschikoff two three-deckers are moored bow to bow with their broad ides commanding the only entrance. The island seems full of soldiers, for besides chose quartered in the town and batteries, three large camps were formed outside, two on the north and the other on the south side. Im mense new earthworks have been erected this spring, a complete chain of them runs from the Governor's house across the island to the old Kessell Battery, di viding it into two halves, one fortified, the other without a gun upon it. Just as the Merlin was returning and when going about 7 knots an hour, a severe shock was felt, as if she had struck upon a sunken pile. It made the ship quiver from stem to stern. The engines wens in stantly stopped and reversed, but before she had stern way upon her another blow, ten times more severe than the first, struck her on the starboard bow, just before the paddle-wheel, sensibly lifting her over to port, and making her masts bend and shake as if they would topple down. The Firefly was immediately in the Merlin's wake, and b fore she could stop, she ran to starboard of the Merlin and partly turned round, when a tremendous explosion took place under her bows, causing her to stagger, and proving very plainly that they were over a nest of Professor Jacobi's infernal machines, the existence of which is now beyond a doubt, and also that they are not such very formidable affairs after all. They then proceeded care fully until they got into deep water without meet ing with any more, and then reconnoitred the smith side, getting so near the shore as to witness a sort of review of the Russian horse artillery, and after wards returned to the fleet. A diver was immediately sent down to examine the Firefly, and not the slightest injury could be detected, but inside the ship almost every bit of crockery ware was broken, and the bulkheads thrown down or displaced. On examining the Merlin, eight sheets of her copper were blown, not scraped, off, and the side appeared charred. All the inside fittings of the engineers' bath room, mess room, and store room were completely de molished. An iron tank, which was bolted to the ship's side, and containing 13 cwt. of tallow, was knocked a distance of four feet. Shot ' were shook out of the racks, and almost everything moveable in the ship was displaced. It is supposed these machines have been laid down since Admiral Dundas reconnoitred the place the last time ; for, after he returned, two steamers came from the harbour, and were busily employed for some time. FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY. The Emperor yesterday received several of the foreign commissioners of the Exhibition, and other foreigners of distinction, who had the honour of being presented to his Majesty by the Danish, Neapolitan, Dutch, and American Ministers. The day officially fixed for Queen Victoria's visit to Paris is Augu,t 13. " Our private letters assert that the insurrection of the Russian peasants of the Ukraine," says the Paiji, "is still continuing. They state that it is directed against the Greek clergy and the large landowners, and that many of the latter have been obliged to seek a refuge in Poland. It appears that some discharged Russian soldiers, who were for a timne prisoners of the French in the Crimea, have returned home with entirely new ideas, and have pladed themselves at the head of the move ment." The Egyptus steam-packet, of the Messageries Imperiales, arrived at Marseilles in the night of the 16th, bringing intelligence from Constantinople to the 7th, being the same date as that of the news by the Mersey, which vessel made the run home with greater speed than this new arrival.

PETERSBURG, June 10.—It is now settled that the Russian land forces are to be divided into three armies, to be called respectively the army of the north (head-quarters St. Petersburg), the army of the south (now operating in the Crimea), and the army of the centre (head-quarters Warsaw). The militia in the government of Charkow and adjacent provinces musters already 200,000 men. The only son of the venerable Field-Marshal Prince Paskiewitch, hitherto colonel in the Guards and aide• de camp of the Emperor, has been promoted to the rank of major -general, and appointed to the command of the first brigade of the cavalry of the guard, !.3!, iP 20 20 10 10 St. 10 St. 25 10 5 20 18 20i 100 20 100 100 100 20 SWEDEN. STOCKHOLM, June 12.—The great national party loudly demands the restoration of Finland to Sweden, with a guarantee of its incorporation with the kingdom on the part of the Western Powers. During the last few days the hopes of the war party have been greatly raised by the announce ment that the King has resolved to go to Chris tiania in the course of next month, for the purpose, it is added, of convoking an extraordinary Storthing. But nothing is known for certain of this, any more than of the convocation of the extraordinary Swedish Diet. Much will probably depend on the success of the mission to Vienna of Baron Mander stroem. A MUM THEATRE.—MADAME CELESTE'S BENEFIT.— The accomplished directress of this theatre has announced her benefit for Wednesday (to-morrow) evening, on which °cow-ion will be produced a new domestic drama by Tom Taylor, entitled Helping Hands, the favourite petit comedy of Foreign Affairs, and The Pretty Girls of Stilberg, in all of which Madame Celeste will sustain the leading character. The bare announcement of the fact that the benefit of this talented artiste is fixed for to-mor row will, we feel assured, draw a crowded house. The remains of the late Lady Frances Calder were in terred, yesterday, in Kensal-green Cemetery. The fune ral was strictly private, and the mourners consisted only of ber ladyship's nearest connections, Lord Monteagle, Sir Peter Pole, Bart„ Count John Delafield, Mr. Geo. &c. The service was read by the Rev. Mr. THE BILL FOR TEE CARRIAGE OF PASSENGERS BY SEA. —Mr. M. H. Perley, the respected Emigration Agent at St. John's, New Brunswick, and the recently ap pointed Commissioner of Fisheries, under the Elgin Re ciprocity Treaty, thus writes, under date of the 21st May, 1855:—" I have just received a copy of the bill now before Parliament for regulating the carriage of passengers by -aea. if its provt-ions become law it will cut off emigration from Great Britain and Ireland to this province almost entirely, and greatly check it to Ca nada. It ought to be seen to at once. A steerage pas sage in a first-class vessel to this port is now 3/. 10s., but the same cannot be less than 01. under the new bill." THE REGISTRATION.—Yesterday notices were issued in the City of London and the boroughs of Westminster, Marylebone, Finsbury, the Tower Hamlets, Southwark, Lambeth, and Greenwich, that all persons desirous of being placed on the register of voters now about to be made out, in respect of the occupation of premises of the clear yearly value of 101., must pay all poor's rates and assessed taxes duo from them in respect of such pre mises on or before the 20th of July, or they will be excluded from the list of voters. CONSTANTINOPLE, June 7.—Mr. Longworth, British consular agent at Monastir, started on the sth inst., per Banshee, for Circassia, on some mission to the mountain chiefs. Schamyl, it is said, has sent already 3,000 men to join in the attack on Amapa; but these troops, it is said, are not worth much in regular warfare. Lieutenant Augnstus C. Murray, R N., has in the most praiseworthy and gallant manner accepted the command of a troop of horse artillery in the Turkish contingent force. The Admiralty have granted to Lieut. Murray the necessary leave to enable him to take up his new appointment. Lieut. Murray is one among many other officers who, unable to gain the promotion he so richly deserved in his own profession, has been com pelled to carry his talents to another and more encou laging "market." It is really too bad that we should be compelled to part with such men as Lieut. Murray, while the Navy List is to be encumbered with the Inole. fields, the Chadses, the Parkers, and numerous other monopolists of Admiralty favours. Lieut. Murray pro ceeds without loss of time to the seat of war.—Morning hi erald.
