LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 1861. Yesterday, the twenty-third of July, 1861, will long be looked back to as a date marking an epoch in the political history of our own times, of the City of London, and of the British Parliament. For it will be remembered that upon that day Lord JOHN RUSSELL not only bade farewell to his latest and greatest constituency, but, by so doing, cele brated in a signal manner his advance from the popular to the hereditary branch of the Imperial Legislature. Comparatively brief though the speech de livered by Lord JOHN, upon this profoundly interesting ...occasion, was in itself, it was in every respect worthy of the orator and of the occasion. Within a very brief interval from the moment of its delivery we had the satis faction of laying the whole of it, through the Third Edition of The Sun of last evening, before our town and country subscribers. As might very confidently have been predicted, the appearance of Lord J OHN yesterday upon the platform of the old Guildhall of the City of London was the signal for a di splay of enthusiasm on the part of those there assembled together in his honour, to Welcome him, and, at the same time, in one sense, to bid him Farewell—a display of enthusiasm in its character, in its fervour, in its protraction, really and truly worthy of being designated extraordinary. Nor can this be wondered at. For—with all his faults, and they are not a few, with all his shortcomings, and they have been not un frequent—Lord JOHN RUSSELL has now, during the chief part of this last half-century, held good his place among the first and foremost in the front lank of our leading Statesmen. A couple of years longer were alone wanting, when exactly half-a century would have elapsed since Lord JOHN'S entrance in his youth into the British House of Commons. During forty-eight years—from 1813 till 1861—he has taken a conspicuous part, during certain intervals the principal part, in the labours of our national representatives. Almost all the Ministerial offices he has held at one time or another—Prime Minister, President of the Coun cil, Secreta r y of State, now in one, now in another, of the various departments. Throughout a long series of sessions—year after year—the noble lord has at one period led the House, at another that lesser moiety of the house, if the bull may be allowed— the Opposition. Th e mere titles earned for him self during these e ight-and -forty years of public life as a Member of Parliament, an Administrator, and at lone time even (though perhaps the less said about that the better) Ple nipotentiary Extraordi nary (very Extraordinary l ) — indicate th e magni tude of the s hare taken by Lord JOIIN R USSELL i n the d eirelopment of the Parliamentar y History of this country , and in the developraent, th e eaten sion, and the consolidation of the con stitution. And those titles or designations by which Lord JOHN'S political, social, and even we might say, literary reputation will henceforth be held in the national remembrance ? It were dif. ficult, of course, to give upon the instant a com plete enumeration of them ; but at any rate the more salient start at once to almost every intelli gent observer's recollection. Leader of the Great Whig Party. Prime Minister during six years consecutively. Maker and destroyer of Adminis trations. Chief and subordinate of Lord PAL MERSTON. Colleague and antagonist of Lord DERBY. Leader—now of the Whig-Radical Op position—now of the Whig-Tory, or at any rate the Whig- Conservative Government. Biographer of his famous ancestor Lord WILLIAM RUSSELL. Author of the long unread, because really unreadable tragedy of " Don Carlos." Author too, of an unknown Novel, the very name of which has long since been obliterated from recollection. Friend of THOMAS MOORE, and of how many others ? —it might almost be said, without exaggeration, of nearly all his illustrious contemporaries. Reformer —of how many of our national institutions? — but pre-eminent amongst them all of our municipal institutions, and of our whole complex fabric of popular representation. Admirable always as a Debater. Rarely great, but really sometimes great, as an Orator : whenever, that is, as Sir BULIVER LYTTON has sung of him in his satire of the New 7imon, whenever— • " Languid Johnny glowed to glorious John." The catalogue, here, m i g ht readily, of course, b e yet further extended. But—we pause, we hesitate to adventure further upon its extension. And this, not merely because the reduplication of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S manifold claims in this way upon the national attention would, if much longer persisted in, come t o b e regar d e d i n all probabilityas at once tedious and superfluous— tedious by reason of being superfluous—but because as we advance nearer and nearer to our own time the gloss of those once all-shining titles to popular consideration would, in all likelihood, be found to be sadly dimmed and obscured in its lustre. We might readily, of course, overleap, as long since nobly expiated, the still incomprehensible, momen tary declaration for Finality! But, if we were to come down much further in the record of the career of this eminent statesman, we should infallibly run the risk of stumbling over the inopportune reminis cence of his fatal Essay—once upon a time—it was at Vienna—as a Diplomatist. Besides, in scanning the official career of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, as a statesman, it would be absolutely impossible not to recognise, again and again, throughout its annals— (and those annals, remember, are literally part and parcel of the history of the British Em pire)—it would be absolutely impossible not to recognise perpetu ally through the record of Lord Joint's ministerial existence, justification upon justification of one of Mr. DISRAELI'S wittiest flashes of irony, " A Con servative in Disguise ? It is a Whig in Place !" If there were needed any single and all-sufficient de monstration of the accuracy of which saying, by the way, that conclusive and definitive illustration of the perfect truthfulness of Mr. DISRAELI'S witticism would be adducable, of course, upon the instant by a simple reference to that inane hiatus or political gap revealing a total absence of all reforms whatever, good, bad, or indifferent, the melancholy, dull dead-level of those five or six years during which Lord JOHN held supreme power as chief of a so-called Liberal and Reforming Ad ministration. Yet in spite of any such deplorable incident—we all of us know full well, we all of us remember with the very liveliest gratitude what large and glorious and imperishable claims Lord JOHN RUSSELL has upon our regard in his charac ' ter as A Reformer. With him—uttered by his lips, cherished in his heart, championed by his energy, guarded by his intelligence—" Civil and Religious 1 Liberty" has been no empty phrase. Nobly has he "many a time and oft " fought the good fight. Eloquently has he, time and again, vindicated those lofty principles. And it is when viewed in this light, it is when regarded in the recollection of all his words and acts, of all his memorable sayings and doings as a great and illus trious Advocate of the principles of Civil and Reli gious Liberty throughout not only the remotest parts of the British Empire, but of the whole civi lised world, that Lord JOHN RUSSELL has good reason, in very truth, to glory in Lis title as A Reformer. It is intimated that simultaneously with, or at any rate immediately after, the noble lord's entrance into the House of Lords as Earl RUSSELL—[and never, all things considered, has a Great Servant of the Crown and of the Country more worthily earned the coronet of an Earldom]—" Lord JOHN" will receive, as additional evidence of the Royal Favour, the Star and the Blue Ribbon of the Garter. But already—without any need of the magical accolade from the Sword of State in the hands of the Sovereign—Earl RUSSELL may take his place among the peers of the realm with a brighter star than even that coveted star of the Garter, his own fair fame as A Reformer. Taking his place there not for the purpose of closing, but rather of con tinuing his career as a Legislator, a Statesman, and an Administrator. Continuing his public life there upon a loftier, though a less prominent stage in the double arena of Parliament. The transference of Lord JOHN from the House of Commons to the House of Lords, his own transformation from a patrician Commoner into a Peer of the Realm, while gratifying, and even, to some extent, consolatory to himself, now that he is advancing in years and not far short of having attained the dignity of a septuagenarian— must at the same time and in an especial manner be replete w ith po i gnant regrets and many sorrow f u l and lo ng - lingering statesmanlookin g back a century musthave • in severing those po pu l ar • • political fortunes directly with those of England—ties first linking them recollections. The grey-headed over this lapse of nearly half experienced a certain reluctance ente t r ie ed s b .l nling his own of the People House e he o r f whenCom mons for thetheboro young Lord JOHN first great ugh in 1813 (before the close a wars of NAPOLEON) as M.P. of Tavistock. Forty seven or ei g ht years as one of the national representatives—„ 1 member for Tavistoc k, as member for Bando n Bridge, as member for Stroud, as i m y ,em from m er 4 durin g 81 to these last twenty years con ti 1861, for the City of London—nearly as h A alf I‘ a l c e e m n t h u e r r y , thus past by Lord JOHN RUSSELL latterly as foremost: among The Leaders of the British House of Commons, cannot, we may feel perfectly assured, be brought at length to a conclusion without awakening sentiments of pro found emotion in the heart and intellect of this eminent man. Now that he is quitting the scene of so many of his triumphs—triumphs political and Parliamentary, oratorical and Administrative—we can only remember all the good he has done for those who, like himself, exult in the title and revere the rights appertaining " the world o'er " to every Free-born Englishman. Honourably and laboriously has Lord JOHN earned for himself that comparative rest which will henceforth, during the remainder of his life, be secured to him by his seat in the House of Lords as Earl RUSSELL. And long may he enjoy it ! Congress does not intend to bare a long ses sion. There is, we believe, one provision against it very efficient in America—they are paid nothing for an extra Session. It will not, however, be THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 24, 1861. able to avoid all the more vital questions of the crisis. Amongst the accounts of what is doing in the House of Representatives we read that Mr. LOVEJOY offered the following resolutions : " 1. Resolved—That in the judgment of this house it is no part of the duty of the soldiers of the United States to capture or return fugitive slaves. . _ " 2. Resolved—That the committee on the judiciary be instructed to inquire into the expediency of repealing the law commonly called the Fugitive Slave Law. " 3. Whereas Major Emory, of the United States army, resigned his commission under circumstances showing sym pathy with rebellion against the Government, therefore resolved—that his restoration to the service was improper and unjustifiable, and that this house, in the name of the people, demand of the executive his immediate removal." After some little discussion the resolutions were ordered to lie on the table, by a vote of 87 against 62. Thus far, therefore, Congress has already got ; it will not reject proposals pointing, not to amend ing the Fugitive Slave Law, as the President pro posed in his inaugural address, but to repealing it. We have little hope that this higher and better tone of action in regard to slavery will make much way in the house yet, still we note with pleasure anything worthy of the position of North. Americans may rest assured that we should admire a little display of moral courage infinitely more than we do their magnificent demonstrations in the way of volunteering. We are, we confess, pleased to see that our descendants, after so long a peace, are yet so ready for war, in fact, thorough 3 - 01 IN B lILL s when their blood is up, worthy children of the older Jourt. But we should like also to see them imitate their parent in the plain blunt way in which he would certainly settle this controversy. lie would assuredly say, that he had had enough of slavery, that it was a horrible thing in itself, and that now it had created all this mis chief he would take good care it should create no I judges whether they had done the complainant civil injury or not. From this judgment, the Free Church appealed to'the highest Scottish court ; the only remaining appeal, we believe, being to the House of Lords. This Court, termed "The Fist Division of the Court of Session," has confirmed le decision of the Lord Ordinary, in a judgment go clear that it would almost seem like litigiousir . ss to carry it further. The Lord President observed, respecting the Free Church, that, as a voluntary body, it had " a con stitution and rules, to whici its members had volun tarily subjected themselves; and in so far as they had done so the civil courts would not hold that they were entitled to complain when these rules were observed, unless there was something in them contrary to the law of the .and ; and in the view he took of this case it was net necessary to inquire whether there was anytling in them of that character er not. The iursuer alleged that the constitution and rules to vhich he had subjected himself were violated in the proceedings against him, to his loss of emoluments, and injury to cha racter, and ho asked this Court to repone him, and to give him damages." The Free Church, the de fendants in the case, flatly denied these statements ; and it was impossible for the Court to know till the facts were before it wlether a wrong had been committed or not. The Court did not propose to restore him to his m:aislry, but to redress the civil injury if there were )ne. He supposed the strongest case of tyrannical con stitution of a voluntary body; yet, if the complain ant had freely submitted to its rules, he would be without remedy. " The defenders," he said, " were exercising an absolute and uncontrolled power in depriving the pursuer of his office, but they were bound to exercise a lawful right in a lawful man ner—namely, in accordance with the rules to which the pursuer had submitted himself. It might be that the Assembly had not violated their rules, and that they were entitled any morning to take six ministers' names from the ballot-box and de pose them, and, if so, tie pursuer could get no redress, unless again there was something in these rules which the law could not recognise. But the court must inquire into tae terms of the contract, and into the facts of the case, before they could de termine whether the pursuer was or was not en titled to such redress as this court could give." On the other hand he observed that, " A minister was just as much entitled to rely upon his compact as any other man, and a breach of that compact, whereby he and his family were thrown upon the world to starve, was a wrong which could only be left without a remedy in a country where law was unknown." He went on to observe that the liberty of the ma jority might be the slavery of the minority ; but the law would be slow to in!er a man's consent to such a contract without clear proof ; it is not the kind of liberty which the law of this country favours. Still less does the law favour or even recognise the liberty of one party to a civil contract to break it with impunity, or ;o interpret it in his own favour to the prejudice of the other party. The interpretation of all contracts belongs, in the first instance, to the Civil Courts, to the effect of as certaining whether they involve civil rights; and, in the next place, if they do, of vindicating or giving redress for the violation of those rights; and, although every human tribunal must be fal lible, history has shown that nowhere else can these powers be more safely lodged. Rightly viewed, they are, in us, not powers, but duties which, when required by any of her MAJESTY'S subjects, be their ragion what it may, we have no choice but to perform. It is difficult to see what reply can be invented to this remarkably lucid statement of the relation of the civil counts to voluntary religious societies. In England the most radical of sects freely acknowledge it. It was but last year we had occasion to notice an interesting case which Sir HUGH CAIRNS and Mr. ROUNDELL PALMER conducted before the Master of the Rolls. It related to the retention or deposition of a minister, on doctrinal grounds chiefly, but also on ecclesiastical ones, in one of the first Baptist congregations of the country. Ministers of the highest standing in that democratic sect gave freely all the evidence requisite to clearing up the facts of the contract between one of their ministers and his congregation. They never seemed to doubt the right of the court to know everything bearing on the alleged griev ance. We feel quite confident that our friends of the Free Church had better go and do likewise. rz' fr wr Ew 8. PARIS, JULY 24. The appeal of M. Mires and Count Simeon will be heard on the 12th August. NAPLES, JULY 23. The Popolo d'ltalia of to-day announces that the brigands have invaded the town of Zigarise, and forced the inhabitants to join them. They burned the national flag, killed the captain, the Syndic, and several liberals ; and, after plundering and devas tating the places, advanced on other parts of the country, where, however, they met with a strong re sistance from the troops and the National Guard. Brigandage has recommenced around Naples. Chiavone has been beaten by the Italian troops near Liri. More favourable accounts have been received from.Cotronci (Calabria). TURIN, JULY 24. The Opinione of today says :—" The confessor of the late Count Cavour has been summoned to Rome by the Pope, who desires to learn details of his last moments." A decree has been published, fixing the terms of the National Loan, which are in accordance with those announced yesterday morning. The minimum price, and the other conditions, will be fixed later. ROME, JULY 23. In the Consiatory held to-day the Pope pro nounced a short Allocution, in which ho expressed his satisfaction with the conduct of the Episcopacy and the Italian clergy. He deplored the aberration of some ecclesiastics of Milan, Modena, and the kingdom of Naples, and lamented the spiritual loss caused by the vacancies in certain dioceses. The Pope gave it to be understood that he was grateful for the occupation of Rome by the French army, without, however, dissimulating the abuse which, he said, the enemies of order had made, and will make, of the painful act of France in recognis ing the Kingdom of Italy. CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 17 (via Marseilles). Safetti Pasha, President of the Grand Council, has been dismissed. . Fuad Pasha succeeds him. Ali Pasha has been definitely appointed Minister for Foreign Affairs. Palace and departmental reforms continue to be effected. MADRID, JULY 24. Yesterday two warehouses at the Madrid Station of the Northern Railway were destroyed by fire. The Royal train and a great number of carriages were also burnt. The loss is considerable. THORN, JULY 23. A funeral service was celebrated yesterday in all the churches of Warsaw, in honour of the late Prince Adam Czartoryski. All business was suspended. The Archbishop officiated in the cathedral. On entering his carriage the people unharnessed the horses, and then dragged it to his residence. A great crowd followed. THE HAGUE, JULY 23. The Second Chamber, in its sitting of to-day, unanimously agreed to the bill authorising the go vernment to pay to Hanover the sum of 169,963 German thalers for the redemption of the Stade dues. more. Resolutions and Bills are coming forth with great rapidity. Already a resolution is before the Finance Committee to remit the duty on the importation of arms in Northern ports since the Ist of May, unless the duty has been actually paid. The Pennsylva nian iron masters will be obliged, probably, to submit to this, since the BUCHANAN Cabinet had left them but a scant supply of arms in the North, and the Government does not know how to arm the volunteers which proffer their services half fast enough. Another Bill has been introduced to re peal all laws creating ports of entry in the South, which is thus to be cut off from legal commerce as well as blockaded; a bill, the most important of all in some respects, is also introduced to " repeal the Tariff Act of 1861 and to restore that of 1857." It comes a little too late, but truly enough in this case, better late than never, since the American Exchequer has been a serious loser, while we have still on hand what they stand so much in need of both in texture and hardware goods. Some Southern minded men began it seems to suggest proposals and make speeches in accordan ce with their predilections, but they soon received an intimation which quieted them completely, and we shall probably hear of little but nearly unopposed northern Bills and re solutions. Congress has put a kind of limit on its own action by adopting a resolution that the house will, during the present extraordinary session, only consider bills and resolutions concerning military and naval appropriations fof the Government and financial affairs connected therewith, and that all bills of a private character, and all other bills and resolutions not directly connected with the raising of revenue, and military and naval affairs, shall be referred without debate to the appropriate committees, to be considered at the next regular session of Congress. All, how ever, that is of importance can easily be connected with military, naval, and financial matters, just as Mr. LOVEJOY did the resolutions respecting the Fugitive Slave Law. Resolutions of a pacific kind were, in like manner, connected readily enough with war and its expenditure. Religious liberty is almost as favourite a topic with Englishmen as civil liberty. The persecutions of the past, those of Queen BEss as well as those of Queen MARY, and those of CHARLES 11. as well as of HENRY VIII., have burnt into English minds the conviction that civil and religious liberty must go together. They are indeed one. A man has not all his rights as a citizen unless he has full protection in worshipping his GOD as ho pleases, unless indeed he is in all civil matters on perfectly equal terms with his fellow citizens, be his creed what it may. Perfect religious equality of all citi zens in the eye of the law is the right of the be liever in JOHN WESLEY'S Hymn-book, as well as of those who do not scruple subscription to the Articles and Prayer-book. It seems, however, that the Free Churchmen of Scotland demand something far more transcenden tal than this. Perhaps not many of our readers thought that the " Cardross Case," in The Sun of Monday, concerned them much, ant' when they saw that it was an affair of Scotch law, the utter unintelligibility of the legal jargon of the North— our own being bad enough in all conscience—sent them in search of something more entertaining. We will not trouble them with one Scotch law term, and, stripped of these, they will find the case itself one of peculiar interest. The substance of in ordinary English is this :—A Scotch minister A* the Free Church is accused of faults meriting sts pension from his sacred office. He contended that the subordinate courts of the Church had not p.o ceeded regularly. The case comes before the General Assembly of the Free Church. While it is fend ing he appeals as a man civilly aggrieved to the temporal courts. The Assembly calls him to its bar, asks him whether he has appealed to the tem poral courts—" Yes," or "No." He replies in the affirmative; for which they then and there depose him from his office altogether—his inexpiable crime not being a moral, but an ecclesiastical delinquency. He had appealed from the sacred and supreme " Assembly " to the Civil Courts—this was, in their phraseology, the crime of " violating the Crown noblest ow Rights of Emmanuel." Of those rights they con. ceive that the Assembly is the depositary. Now, the voluntary Free Church associationsis f el nl Dissenters one of the in Great Britain, Its contribution Its sacrifices, and its liberality in , claim for it all commendation ; but it in this case, confused the civil and rightsreli gious of B r it ons rather strangely. When has Surely, ely summoned before the first judge, the Lord Ordi nary, they refused to produce any of the records pertaining to the dispute, on the high ground that it was a spiritual matter, with which the temporal judge had nothing to do. The judge, acknowledg ing that he had nothing to do with their spiritual regulations, took the ground that a member of their Church complained to him of a civil wrong; the question of wrorg could be determined only by that the conditions under which he became a minister of their Church. Those conditions were the con tract, and if they had been violated, so far as civil consequences were involved, the law of the land would certainly give redress. Of course the ques tion was one of pure law. The complainant, might, or might not, make his case good—but the judge would not admit that their being a Voluntary Society would enable them to enter into a contract, and break it, and then constitute themselves the THE STOCK OF COTTON Thee is at last a decided fall in the stock of cotton at Liver)ool, the diminution, though long foreseen, not having preiiously been at all considerable.

The total imports this year to July 19 were 2,165,836 bales, as compared with 2,509,039 bales in the corresponding period of 1860; and the stocks at the commencement of the years having been 545,679 and 441,710 bales respectively, it follows that the quantity taken for consumption has been 1,657 1 805 bales this year, as compared with 1,663,229 bales i n 1860. The quantity at sea for Liverpool was estimated at the close of last week at 57,925 bales of American and 289,149 bales of Surat, in all 347,034 bales, as compared with 42,186 bales of American and 1137,758 bales of Surat, in all 209,044 bales, at the cor responding period of 1860. By this estimate there were thus 137,140 bales more en route for this country than in July, 1860 ; but the increase in American is no doubt due to the efforts made on the other side of the Atlantic to re• duce the quantity available for shipment to the narrowest limits, and so to avoid as much as possible the rigours of the blockade now in force. That these efforts have been successful is shown by the comparatively trifling quantity now on hand at the American ports, the last alvices esti mating it at only 60,000 or 70,000 bales, as emtpared with 250,000 bales in July, 1860. On the whole the trade seems to have thus far met the adverse circumstances in which it is placed better than ini;Lt have been anticipated.

The Constitutionnelsays: —" Certain foreign journals have latterly com mented on the recent note in the Moniteur rela tive to the determination of the Emperor not to visit any of the large towns around Vichy, and, as was to be expected, have ascribed to it a mean ing which it was never intended to have. The Emperor, it is true, had entertained the idea of visiting Nades, but his Majesty abandoned the design when at Fontainebleau—Count de Morny informing him that it would require four hours to go there. Now, a journey of eight hours in the course of a medical treatment is to be avoided. Therefore, it is not true, as stated in the Paris- cor respondence of certain journals, that Count de Morny made preparations at his seat for the recep tion of his Majesty, for in leaving Paris he knew that the Emperor would not go to Nades. The sole object of the note in the Meniteur was to respond to the innumerable solicitations of the localities nearer to Vichy, all of which naturally desired to be visited by his Majesty."

Cardinal Antonelli, by order of the Pope, has addressed the following protest to the diplomatic body:— "Rome, 9th July. " The good faith with which the Government of the Holy See endeavours to fulfil its engagements in spite of the critical circumstances in which it is placed owing to the sacrilegious spoliation of the major part of its domains, does not allow it to re main silent in presence of the loan of 500 millions of francs which the Piedmontese Goverment has resolved to contract. If this resolution be looked at with only the slightest attention, it will be clearly seen that a sum so enormous is not in tended solely to provide for the wants of Piedmont properly so c a ll e d, b ut b y overcharg i ng also the provinces taken from the Sovereign Pontiff, their legitimate Sovereign, tends to increase by a new public debt the load of usurpations, and to leave for a long series of years lamentable traces of its passage, t o th e great d etr i ment o f t h e population of the Pontifical State. In consequence, the Holy Father, conscious of the duties incumbent on him with regard to the sacred patrimony of the Church, and of his own subjects, cannot do less than protest against this loan, declaring that he will not recog nize the effects of it as far as concerns the interests of the Pontifical State. The undersigned Cardinal, Secretary of State, in notifying this protest to your Excellency, begs you to make it known to your Government to serve as a rule in case of need. I take this opportunity, &c., " G. CARDINAL ANTONELLI." THR FOREIGN OFFICES AND CON7.R2ICTS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—For many years it has been my profes sional business and pleasure to read the Blue-books which contain evidence on Government expendi ture for our army, navy, our public works, &c., for the purpose of reaching conclusions on the question —Do the Government authorities soundly or thoughtlessly disburse the public money ? in this letter I shall chiefly deal with the subject of a contract for the projected Foreign-offices; and I open my subject by saying that, having read all the modern Blue-books which refer to contracts, I am now in the full belief that the Parliamentary Committees, and the persons who gave evidence before them on this important subject, did not, in their questions and reply to them, disclose a clear comprehension of what constitutes a reliable esti mate for a great contract work, and that, in the ab sence of such lucid comprehension, it was not possible for them to hedge contracts with such con ditions as would make the public safe in the ex penditure of their money under them. If, then, they did not apprehend the true quality of a esti mate, do I ? lam here that the public may come to their own calm conclusions on the question. The site of these offices being secured for a cer tain sum of money or otherwise, and the character and internal quality of the building determined, what has the architect to do ? This :he will have to estimate the literal quantities, and to declare the literal value of all the materials, all the commodi ties, which in the end will be the Foreign-offices; and having given the contractor a given time in which to create them, he will have to shew in his report, that he has carefully studied the present market value of all the materials, and all the commo dities necessary for the offices, and their probable value all through the time he has allowed the con tractor for his work. All this will be nothing more than the ordinary duty of the architect ; but his extraordinary duty will be this—to show in his report that, having duly considered the amount of " plant" necessary to the contractor for his work"; having also duly considered what other investment of money he must make, and on a clear apprehen sion also of the importance of the instalments in money which he will periodically receive from the Government authorities, he is, on a grasping con sideration of all these business points, able to de clare the contractor entitled to a given profit for his entire contract work, and that, his tender being for a sum named in the report, he will be able to win the declared profit and no more. I insist for this declaration of profit in the architect's report ; for we are arrived at such a condition of things in this country on the question of a contractor's profit for a given work, as to make it imperious for the public to learn, what, in equity, should be the contractor's profit for the construction of these offices. And as for several years past the public have been annoyed, and have suffered losses, through the frequent strikes in the building trades on the question of time and wages, I believe it to be the duty of the architect for these offices to be special in his report on point of wages. I suggestively claim, that it will be his duty to declare in his report, what he considered in his estimates the present market value of labour, and its probable value all through the contract time ; and above all do. I believe it his imperious duty, to demon strate in his report the absolute equity there is between a contractor's profit and the wages of his operatives. It is said that our Government is paternal. We certainly need some sage fatherly information on the equities I have here indicated ; and I hope that our executive Government, through this architect, will deign to meet the necessities of the public on this important business question. Should the architect frame his estimates and re port in the way I have suggested, of what practical use would they be to the public, with reference to these :offices, as matters now stand between our executive Government and the representatives of the public in Parliament ? None whatever. Esti mates have been sacred things in the hands of our Government officials; they have been mainly used for this solitary purpose—in them has been named a total sum of money wherewith to cover a declared I demand for a given Government work. A Govern ment official has only had to declare the work to our representatives in Parliament, and to came the money necessary for it in an engineer's or architect's estimate, and with but little trouble he has generally obtained all he solicited. Figura tively speaking, the estimate has been nothing but a hand with which to claw money from the pockets of the public; and the money being thus obtained tho estimate has been named no more. But in these times do the public send their representatives into Parliament to vote away their money after this fashion? Is it not time to dismiss such a habit, and to adopt another having more of inquiry and safety in it ? These questions bring me to my real subject in this letter, and I ask the public to seriously consider what I assume it to be my duty to declare to them. It would be the thought of a business simpleton to assume our representatives in Parliament, with few exceptions, equal to a critical and thorough examination of a professional estimate for such an important work as these offices. It is a fact, and it had better be declared, they really are not quali fied for such a task. Ido not think that any Par liamentary candidate was ever challenged as to his qualifications for such a duty ; and it would be an unmanly thing for one person to taunt another about his incapacity for an examination he was never expected to undertake. Nevertheless, it is the supreme duty of our representatives in Parlia ment to see to it that not a farthing of public money is wasted. How they have heretofore dis charged this duty, in the absence of estimate qualifications, can be told by simple reference to the Houses of Parliament hard by the site for these offices. The whole tale can be told in the figures 750,000 and 2,500,000; and the moral of the tale is in the assertion, we shall have more of this sort of expenditure if the estimates for our great works are not critically examined by men duly qualified for such duty. In few words, as our representatives in Parliament cannot effectually help us in this important matter, we must give them duly qualified men to do this part of their Parliamentary work for them ; for it must be done, or we shall hear again and again of such question able expenditure as I have indicated above in figures. In this place lam not going to waste time in platitudes about wasteful expenditure; but I do declare for public consideration, that by giving our representatives the efficient and imperious aid I have suggested, we shall more effectually put an end to foul expe n dit ure by Government officials than by any other means I have been able to conceive. I am writing to and for men of the world ; men thoroughly equal to the conception of how my suggested aid would work in the various Government departments and offices where our money is got rid of without another word in detail from my pen. Moreover, I am in fear of the editorial malediction, " we can't have anything to do with your long letter." Yet I must hazard a short illustration and one or two round assertions. Assume the architect for these offices to have prepared his estimates and report, and then assume them in the hands of the architect appointed to aid our Parliamentary Representatives. He thoroughly sifts them, and fully explains them to our representatives before they go into Com mittee of Supply on the question of the office money. Would not that be a great help given to our repre sentatives, and would it not for ever keep away from us more of such figures as 750,000 and 2,500,000 ? There will be supplementary requirements for many of our great works now in hand, and here in England and in our colonies other works are pro , jected ; and we all know what appetites our army and navy have for our money through contract and other business ari angements. To the best of my ability I have mastered all that has been declared in Blue-books and in official statements on our present and probable national expenditure ; and on a calm consideration of the whole subject, I do not for a moment hesitate over the assertion that, by giving our representatives the professional aid I have suggested, the public purse need not have in it, peace continuing, as much as now by many millions sterling year by year. On this point not a doubt flits athwart my judgment. —I am, Sir, your obedient servant, P. July. vice-preidentnofdetthehpee THE FUNERAL OF PRINCE ADAM CZARTORYSICI took place in Paris on Monday, from the Church of Saint Louis-en .1' Ile, in the midst of a large number of spectators. The coffin, preceded by fifteen clergymen. attached to the church of Saint-Louis, was borne to the hearse by fifteen Poles. The cordons were borne by Count de Nantebello, General Dembinski, General Ladislas Zamoyski, nephew of the deceased, and Count Morawski, one of the members of the Polish Government of 1831. In addition to the two sons and immediate relatives of the deceased, the cortege was accompanied by M. Royer, Senate, the Marquis D'Hautpoul, M.

The English screw steamer Rangoon, Captain Atkins, arrived on Monday night from Ras el- Millah, on the north coast of Africa, having safely laid the cable she had on board to within 10 or 15 miles of that place. On the evening of the sth inst., at 6 o'clock, the shore end of the cable was disem barked at Alexandria from the Rangoon, in the paddle-box boats of her Majesty's corvette Scourge Commander Jones, escorted by other boats of that vessel and the Medina, Capt. Spratt, C. 8., the Mohawk, Commander E. H. Howard, having been previously sent on the same morning to lay down buoys for the guidance of the ships. The Rangoon, having on board Messrs.Canning,Clifford, Dr.White house, De Santy, and a staff of electricians on the part of the contractors, and Messrs. Forde and Laws on the part of the Government, started on the following day at 6 a.m., preceded closely by the Medina, with the Scourge on the starboard beam. In this order they proceeded till nightfall, the Rangoon paying out the cable all the while, when the signal was made by Captain Spratt to anchor. They started again next morning at five in the same order, with the Mohawk still ahead laying down buoys. On the evening of the second day, the depths varying considerably within short distances, the Rangoon was ordered to remain at anchor while the Mohawk and Medina proceeded slowly ahead sounding and marking the course. On the third day, about noon, the Rangoon weighed anchor, and the ships proceeded in the same order as on starting. Little progress was made during the Bth and 10th inst., on account of the variable depths. On the 11th the squadron passed the Ishilah Rocks, and at five the same evening had paid out all the cable on board, electric communi cation with Alexandria being perfect. Here the end was taken into shallow water, hermetically sealed, and buoyed. In no spot, we understand, was the cable laid in more than 100 fathoms water, but for the most part in about 50, and at an average distance of four or five miles from the coast. The weather was fine, with a light north-westerly wind and smooth water all the way till the morn ing of the llth inst., when a swell set in, and the wind freshened from the north-west. On the same evening the Rangoon parted company for Malta, and arrived there at half-past nine at night on the 15th inst., having encountered rough. weather from the north-west on the 12th and 13th, which, had it occurred during the laying of the cable, would have endangered the success of the operation. The Medina was to continue sounding along the coast preliminary to submerging the last sections of the cable expected from England, to connect the two ends. Mr. Forde proceeded in the Scourge for Bengazi and Tripoli, and may be expected here in that vessel in a week or ten days. The Rangoon left early yesterday morning for England.--Malta Times, July 18. A MESSAGE FROM . THE SEA. Our readers may have observed recently among our maritime extracts the copy of the contents of a, slip of paper found in a bottle some weeks ago on the western coast of Uist, in the Hebrides, and for warded to us by our agent at Stornoway, The paper in question, apparently the leaf of a pocket book, used in the hurry of the moment, was covered on both sides with pencil marks, from which the following was with difficulty deciphered :—" On board the Pacific, from L'pool to N. York. Ship going down. (Great) confusion on board. Icebergs around us on every side. I know I cannot escape. I write the cause of our loss that friends may not live in suspense. The finder of this will please get it published.—Wm. Graham." If we are right in our conjecture, the ship here named is the Pacific, one of the Collins line of steamers, which vessel left Liverpool on January 22, 1856, three days before the Persia, and has not since been heard of; and this slip of paper, three inches by two, is probably the only record of the fate of that missing ship, We have n. t come to this conclusion hastily. On re ceiving the frail record from Stornoway we at once published it, as the best and most expeditious mode of placing it before those whe might possibly be in terested in the fate of the vessel named. The Pacific is by no means an uncommon appellation, more espe cially among the shipping of the United States, and we did not despair that some light would be thrown upon the " message from the sea" which had so singularly been preserved and placed in our hands. After waiting for some time we received a communication from Messrs. Zerega, of New York, stating that their ship Pacific being in port at the time, of course the record had no reference thereto, but they much feared it might, notwithstanding the difference in the names, apply to the Baltic, which had left Liverpool in January last, and has not since been heard of; and we were requested at the same time to communicate with Messrs. Zerega's agents in Liverpool. This we have been careful to do, and at the same time we directed a search to be made among the lists of passengers and crews, both of the Baltic and of the Pacific of the Collins line. We have ascertained that no person named Graham was on board the Baltic when that vessel left Liver pool last on her passage to New York, but it appears that a man of that name did ship as helmsman in the Pacific in January, 1856. It is true he shipped by the name of Robert Graham, whereas the slip of paper is signed " Wm. Graham." This, however, is a discrepancy which will not count for much with those who are acquainted with the careless manner in which seafaring people frequently give their names, and the facility for such a mistake pre sented by the ordinary mode of entering the names of a ship's company. From the facts elicited so far, we come to the conclusion that the vessel lost, and to which the frail memorandum before us refers, was a ship named the Pacific, The writer was evidently some . person accustomed to the perils of the sea, for it is difficult to understand how any person whose nerves had not been hardened by the presence of frequent and appalling dangers could have written with such manifest coolness in the immediate presence of death. This self-posses sion at once negatives the idea that the person who could exhibit it in a moment of such supreme peril could possibly have mistaken the name of the vessel whose loss he has recorded. Then, again, we find from the records of the lost Pacific that a person named Graham sailed in her from Liverpool on her ill-fated voyage, and, in all human probability, was on board at the time she was lost with all hands. This is the strongest point in the entire chain of evidence, for it connects the writer of the memo randum directly with the lost ship, and the ship with the writer. Lastly, since the memorandum has been given to the world—now some weeks— we have had no intimation that any ship named the Pacific, sailing from Liverpool recently, has been lost, or is even missing. The ship in question must have left that port so long ago that all hope of her recovery has been abandoned. Some interest might possibly, even at this distance of time, have been felt in the fate of the Pacific, but the company to which that st eamer belonged no longer exists. The remaining ships of the Collins line have been some time since disposed of, and are employed, we believe, or were recently employed, on the line from New York to Panama. To aura up, we have the fact that a man of the same sur name as he who . signed the slip of paper found in a bottle on the shore of the Hebrides shipped as steersman in the Pacific in January, 1856, and the presumption is every way strong against his hav ing mistaken the name of the ship in which he sailed, and was apparently lost. We also know_ e that the Persia, which sa il e d th ree d a y s the the after the Pacific, narrowly esca p e d d estruct i on t from ice bergs on her passag e ou t.

Thence —the e presumption is not a violent one —this fragile messenger was swept by the Gulf stream, and carried along the course nearly to the extreme verge to which, as we are told, the Gulf stream is propagated. The bottle was found on the Western shore of the Hebrides, where it arrived under the mysterious guidance of those influences which have of late years so earnestly engrossed the attention of scientific geographers.-- Shipping and Mercantile Gazette.
