As re gards the men, it matters not whether it was a regular sea-fight or a chance-medley. They are not supposed to be cognizant of the causes of battles —they are expected to act rather than think; and, however erroneous may be the con duct of their commander, they have as just a claim to co mpensation as when it is in strict accordanc e with orders. It would be a danger ous principle to lay down that soldiers and sailors are not to be compensated for a victory when their leaders are to blame, for if that were -to b e the general practice they would naturally inquire, before going into battle, whether it Would be sanctioned by the Government, and fight or not according to the proofs on either side. At Navarin the men and officers obeyed their orders. They believed they w "e fighting for the honour of their country and th e benefit of Greece and after many had , been wo unded, and many fallen in battle, it would appear - n in st of ungrateful on the part the country to r e f use compensation to the sur vivors and to the widow s and children of those who sacrificed their lives in the cause, merely on the ground that the Adiniral was in error, or that there was no precedent for such a course. Even supposing he was wrong, still as . a matter of policy, patting justice out of the question, compensation ought to be granted, in order Co confirm two principles which the men should never for a moment be left to doubt, that orders are to be obeyed and that bravery will be rewarded. Looking at all the circumstances of the case, however, we cannot see how Sir E. CODRINGTON exceeded his instructions, he was sent out with a fleet to assist in protecting Greece, and the victory had that effect. But for the injury done to the Egyptian fleet IBRA HIM PACHA would have continued for a long time to ravage the country. The renewal of the Irish Coercion Bill, in the present state of Parliamentairy business, will no doubt lead to lengthened and angry discus sion. The Irish nation have still many griev ances to complain of. The tithe question remains unsettled ; the people in some places are starving because no legal provision is made for the poor, and the Catholic clergy who are dependant chiefly on this class, must conse quently feel the effects of such a state of desti tution, and become more and more alienated from a Government which neither promises poor laws, nor holds out any certain prospect of setting apart a portion of the surplus church property for their benefit. Unless the two . houses - can*come to an amicable unde rs t an di ng on the tithe question, and the distribution of the surplus, they will thus have a great pro portion of the landlords, clergy, and people, in array against them. Last session many with drew their opposition to the Coercion Bill, on the understanding that a sweeping reform was to be made in the Irish Church, and that the Government were to introduce a clause in the bill for that purpose sanctioning a new appropriation of the surplus tithes, and the Coercion Bill in consequence passed by a large majority. A clause to that effect was accordingly introduced, but afterwards with drawn, not only to please the Lords but as I appears now to please Mr. STANLEY and those who have seceded with him. It will therefore be a matter for the consideration of the Commons whether they ought to call on the government to redeem the pledge before they agree to a renewal of the act. Nothing short of this will reconcile the country to the measure. The high church party no doubt would willingly persevere in their coercive measures without redressing one grievance, but they will find few supporters. The govern ment therefore would act wisely in coming to a decision at once. Delay can serve no good purpose, and a favourable decision would save a great deal of useless debate, and add to their popularity both here and in Ireland. The LORD CHANCELLOR'S despatch of the business of his Court seems to have occasioned some embarrassment to the lawyers. Accus tomed to the slow and measured march of his predecessors, they are not yet reconciled to the rapid pace and mighty strides of the great law reformer. Instead of an arrear of causes,- with clients clamorous for a hearing, we daily find the LORD CHANCELLOR Complaining of causes not being ready, and yesterday a gentle man behind the bar was under the necessity of admitting of briefs not having been delivered. In the good old times they laid so long in counsels' hands before hearing, that. the refreshers . forrined no inconsiderable par . - tion of the attorney's bill, and many a client has died in the interval—too often the very long interval—between such delivery and the hearing of his cause. His Lordship has announced that he will hear the causes that have been set down up to the first day of Easter Term last, which amount to three or four ; but it seems doubtful whether the parties will be pre pared for him. He threw out, some days ago, an intimation that he would then take some of the original causes from the Vice-Chancellor's paper, and, if he does, it will be the first instance since the establishment of the Vice-Chancellor's Court of a Lord Chancellor having brought his business down to a state that would allow him to adopt this course. Original causes have hitherto only been heard by the LORD CHANCELLOR on special application of the parties. This single fact demonstrates the absurdity of the charges of an arrear in the Court. We hope Mr. LYNCH will not forget to notice it in his in tended motion for an inquiry into the Court of Chancery, and we shall like to see how he will reconcile it with the terms of that motion. superb harvest, of which nations will partici pate in the ratio of their own progress. The French Papers of Monday are al most exclusively engrossed with their own election matters. We learn from them that government continues to make the most her culean efforts to secure an overwhelming majo rity in the new Chamber of Deputies. Con sidering the very limited nature of the law of election in France, it is to be apprehended that the efforts of Ministers will not be unsuccess ful. The same authorities mention that Ge neral RODIL had reached Badajos, on his re turn from Portugal, and was proceeding im mediately to march against the factions in the interior of Spain. They say, also, " The views of Russia are no longer a mystery ; she is going to commence an indirect war. Columns of Muscovites are filing off towards Persia ; others are proceeding towards the provinces adjoining Turkey in Asia. Since its last campaign the Russian army knows its way to Constantinople, through the interior of Asia. At present, under a pretext that it is necessary to maintain the throne of MAIINIOUD. Russa is preparing to occupy the same ground. On the other side, the Pacha of EGYPT is anxious to recommence hostilities. Armaments are preparing in the Mediterranean. The , English fleet has been reinforced, and the French squadron will join it. England begins to feel that she is being threatened by the ag grandizement of Russia in Persia and Asia Minor. If once Russia were mistress of Per sia, she would realize her former project of in vading the East Indies—a project which has al ways been a favourite, not less with the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh than with the Russian army in general." These remarks of the French journalist partake too much of an alarmist character. So long as the Cabinets of France and England are in possession of the slightest modicum of common sense, they will never al low Russia to gain a conqueror's footing in Constantinople. As for her invasion of India, the idea is ridiculous. The very instant she was fairly and fully embarked in a Turkish or an Indian war, Finland and Poland would be up in arms, to say nothing of that discontented race of hardy mountaineers who inhabit the vast fastnesses of the Caucasus and the borders of the Caspian, and who for some time past (if we may credit the reports of some late tra vellers) have been panting for an opportunity to throw off the yoke of a despot whom they detest and' despise.

EAST INDIA HOUSE.--(THIS DAY.) A half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of India:Stock was convened this morning at the India House for the purpose of declaring a dividend on the stock of the company, for the half-year ending in July next. The chairman, deputy chairman, and a majority of the Coyrt of Directors entered the court room shortly after twelve o'clock, 11. St. George Tucker, Esq., took the chair. The dividend fixed by the late act of parliament was agreed to. - A considerable discussion took place relative to the compensations to be allowed to the company's mari time officers. The chairman stated that the Directors had laid a scale before the India Board, and as soon as the com missioners had expressed their opinion, the plan would be laid before parliament and the court. Left sitting. Mr. Parsons, box-book-keeper at Drury-lane theatre, takes his benefit on Friday night. As the per formances announced for representation on the occa sion are full of variety and attraction, and as Mr. Par sons is well known and generally esteemed for his di ligence and general courtesy, we have no doubt but his benefit will be well attended. This morning, in consequence of its being the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo, the 3d Regi ment (or Coldstream Guards) assembled on the parade in St. James's-park, attired in their new uniforms, when they were inspected by their commanding officers, during which the band played, " See the Con quering Hero comes," and other martial airs. The colours were surmounted by branches of laurel, and those veterans who were present on the plain of Waterloo this day 19 years were permitted to wear a sprig about their dress. The area was surrounded by thousands of respectable spectators, who appeared greatly amused by the surprisinc , evolutions which the corps performed in honour of ?he day.

IMPEII [AL PARLIAMENT, THIS DAY, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18. HO USE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the chair at 20 minutes past 12 o'clock. The Earl of Mountralls' Estate Bill was read a third time. Lord DALMENY presented a petition from some parishes in Wiltshire, in favour of the Established Church. Lord LOWTHER presented a petition from Ravensworth, in Westmoreland, against the admission of dissenters to the Universities. Also a petition from several landholders of Westmoreland upon the subject of fines. _ Mr. RUSSELL presented a petition from Stour bridge, in favour of the dissenters. Mr. W. FLEETWOOD presented a petition from 1,500 inhabitants of Preston, against the church rates bill. As he voted for that bill, he could not support the prayer of the petition; also, a petition against the separation of church and state, signed by 1,400 inha bitants of the same town, and a petition from the same place, in favour of the bill for the alteration of the Court of Common Pleas of Lancaster. Mr. C. O'D YE R said that the signatures to the petitions presented by Lord Dalmeny, appeared to have been written by the same hand. There were several erasures. The SPEAKER said that there was nothing irre gular in such a proceeding ; it might lessen the confi dence of the house in the petition, but it was no reason why it should not be laid on the table. The petitions were laid on the table. Sir W. MOLE SWORT H presented a petition from the borough of Launceston, complaining that the Reform Bill had not afforded them the same relief that was given to other boroughs. Sir II HARDINGE denied that he owed his ma jority at the last election for Launceston to the sup port of the Duke of Northumberland or any other person ; it was owing to the conscientious support of the electors themselves. He denied that there was any truth in the statement of the petition. After a few words from Mr. C. BULLER and Mr. FINN, the petition was ordered to lie on the table. Sir H. HARDINGE then presented a petition from St. Clear, in Cornwall, against tithes. Colonel BAIL L IE presented a petition from the freemen of the county of Kilkenny, and a petition from the grand jury of the same county, complaining of the exaction of fees by the Usher of the Court of Chancery in Ireland (Colonel Fitzgibbon), upon the revenues of the county, the office being a sinecure, and the officer himself having for many years been an absentee. Mr. FINN supported the prayer of the petition. Mr. SHE IL also supported the prayer of the peti tion, and said that there was no blame attached to the present Usher of the Court of Chancery. He was appointed to that office when only eighteen years of age, by his father, the Chancellor of Ireland, and as the emoluments were large, and the duties less than nothing, he could hardly be blamed for retaining the office. Some re gard should, however, be had for the public, and he thought this was a case where the interference of the Legislature was imperatively called for. The petition was ordered to lie on the table. Mr. W. Fr E LDEN presented a petition from the attorneys of Blackburn, in favour of the Abolition of Imprison ment f or D e bt Bill. Mr. WIGNEY presented a petition from Brighton against church rates. — Mr. S. APKENZIE presented a petition from the presbytery of Dingwall, against the present system of church patronage in Scotland. The hon. member said that he did not agree in the prayer of the petition. Colonel WILLIAMS presented a petition from several attorneys of Ashton-under-Line, in favour of the Court of Common Pleas of Lancaster. Petitions were also presented 137M1: FERGUS O'CONNER, from certain individuals at a public meeting, relative to the government prosecution of the True Sun ; two others from individuals in the borough of Mallow, complaining of being impro perly interfered with by their landlord (the present member) during the last election ; and one from an individual in Cork. After the presentation of several other petitions, the SPEAKER left the chair. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. An important article in the Morning Eerald of this morning, has made some stir in the City, and more particularly am ongs t th e specu l ators i n Span i sh Stock. We select the following two articles from the private cor respondence of the Herald, dated Madrid, June 4, re lating to a draft of measure for the liquidation of the debt of Spain, and which is under the deliberation of the Counsel of the Regency : DECREE 111. Art. 1. The whole of the debt contracted by " Con stitutional Spain" to be again inscribed on the great book of the Spanish debt, and to bear the same in terest as was promised at the time of making these 1 oans. Art. '2. The interest in arrear upon this debt, since 1803, to be " capitalised," and converted into new bonds, bearing three per cent. Art. 3. The interest in arrear upon bonds con verted under the decree of 1831, to be equally con verted into bonds bearing three per cent. DECREE Art. I. The whole of the Spanish debt, of which mention is made in the preceding decrees, shall be re duced proportionally, and according to its assigned price on e-third—those debts which are provided for by diplomatic treaties always excepted. Art. 2. The other two-thirds of the debts to be converted into a deferred stock of 100 parts, of which one part shall be drawn yearly for a hundred consecu tive years, and the winner to receive 3 per cent. upon his claim !! Art . 3. The whole of the Spanish debt shall be called, without exception, the national debt, and shall be entitled to receive a uniform interest of 3 per cent., to be paid fractionally every four months. Art. 4. There shall be created a sinking fund of 1 per cent. upon the whole. A rt . 5. This decree to repeal all former ones upon this subject. By the above we perceive that it is the intention of the Spanish government to compound with her creditors, and give them a deferred stock, pay able in one hundred years, at 3 per cent. How this will meet the eye of the Cortes Bond holders will be seen when the Cortes meet. In part it is a Dutch plan of finance by drawing a lottery. But before we make any further observa tions on this new system of paying old debts, we must wait to see if it is an official document, or only a sup position from Madrid. We are, however, influenced to believe that the chief part of it will prove correct. It has had the effect of lowering the Spanish Stock this morning, which left off yesterday at 511, opened at 51, and are at present 504 Portuguese, 78a a. Consols, which left off yesterday, 92i buyers for the Account, opened at the same price, with little doing ; the chief speculations being in Spanish and Portuguese Stocks. HALF-PAST ONE. The effect of the new Spanish system of finance (as stated in the Herald of this morning) begins to be severely felt in the foreign market. Spanish Bonds which were yesterday 52k, have receded in the course of this morning to 49, a fall of about 3 per cent. They are at present 49. It is calculated that if the supposed decrees be confirmed, Spanish will not be worth more than 35. These proposals of the Spanish government must have been known yesterday, as im mense sales were effected ; in fact, the market is looking very heavy, and not supported by the capital ists at present. Portuguese Stock has also fallen from 78 2 1 a 4, to 78 to ,f. Consols which were 921, are at present 921 for the Account. HALF-PAST TO. Within a short p er i o d a reaction has taken place in the Spanish Bonds, which have improved to 49i . 50. It is now stated that the Spanish decrees, as given in the Herald, are not true. THREE O'CLO CK Consols for the Account 9211. Mr. Ward, Collector of Customs, died on Sunday evening in a fit of apoplexy. Numbers are already on the move to obtain the appointment. - - - • M.

Poyle had become a bankrupt about two years ago and at the request of Poyle's landlady, Squires pur chased in the furniture for Poyle, having received a check from the landl idy to pay for it ; Squires also purchased two horses at the request of Poylc, under an agreement that he should pay Squires a cer tain sum monthly, and give them up at a day's notice. On the 23d September last, Squires, accompanied an attorney named Jones, came to Poyle's residence, and attempted to take away the two horses, on which occasion the alleged assault with a stick and bayonet had been committed. Mr. PLATT appeared for the prosecution, and S JAMES SCARLETT and Mr. BARSTOW for the defence. The prosecutor and a woman who acted as his housekeeper, were examined as to the assault. Sir J. SCA RLETT addressed the jury for the defen dants. He would show the jury that these horses were the property of Squires, and that he had merely endeavoured to get them back from Poyle. He would also satisfy them, by the testimony of several re spectable witnesses, that the prosecutor was a person who ought not to be credited on his oath in a court of justice. Several witnesses were examined, who swore that they would not believe the prosecutor upon his o nth ; and one or two of them gave a similar character of the prosecutor's housekeeper. Lord DENMAN—I think, Sir James Scarlett, there must be a verdict against the defendants in this case, as the horses were in Poyle's possession, and there was no proof of a day's notice having been given. Sir JAMES SeARLETr said that the argument as to a day's notice applied only to four months after the agreement had been made, and that that term had ex pired • besides a notice had been served by Squi res ' daughter. Mr. PLATT addressed the jury for the prosecution at some length. Lord DENMAN summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of Guilty against Squires, and acquitted Jones, the other defendant. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY. ( Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord LYNDHURST and a Common Jury. ) WOOLEY V. ROWLAND. The plaintiff in this action was a cab proprietor, who sought to recover the value of a horse alleged to have been killed by the negligence of the defendant, who was a butcher. Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS appeared for the plaintiff, and showed that on the 2d of May the plaintiff's cab had taken up a fare, and was proceeding close to the curb-stone through Coventry-street, about ten o'clock in the evening, when the defendant, who with two friends was going the other way in a butcher's cart, attempted to pass an omnibus, and run his shaft into the breast of the plaintiff's horse, from which injury the horse died. It was valued at 121, and plaintiff had spent 2./. in trying to recover it. The defendants had been enjoying themselves in Newport Market, and were not sober. Mr. HUTCHINSON addressed the jury for the de fendant, and called one of the persons that was in the cart with the defendant. He stated that the defendant was driving, and was perfectly sober. When they got into Coventry-street they were behind an omnibus which stopped to take up a passenger ; there being plenty of room, defendant drew out of the ranks to pass it. The cab at the same moment drew across the road, and run against their shaft. Defendant called out to the cab-man as loud as he could, when he was at some distance, but no notice was taken of it. Defendant's pony had died in consequence of the same accident. He was corroborated by a Mr. Dale, a tradesman in Coventry-street, but he gave his evidence in such a confused manner, that neither the Court, Counsel, or Jury could well understand him. Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS replied. Lord LYNDHURST having summed up, the jury re turned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 121. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY-(THIS DAY. MACDONALD AND CAMPBELL'S BANKRUPTCY. A very numerous meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Macdonald and Campbell, army-agents, of Regent-street, was held this morning, before Mr. Commissioner MERIVALE, for declaring two dividends, one on the joint estate, and the other on the separate estate of Mr. Macdonald. The Commissioner then made an order for the further dividend of 6d. in the pound on the joint estate, and directed the declaration of a dividend on Macdonald's separate estate to be postponed, without mentioning for what period. A further dividend on the joint estate, is not expected to be declared for several months. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE (THIS DAY.) (FROM Li.e,l n'S.) DEAL, JUNE 17.—Wind N. W. to W. S.

The following: information, in regard to the pr(S'" ceedings of Ibrahim Pacha in Syria, deserves being m. de public, not only as very creditable to him, but as being of some general interest at the pre , :ent time, when the attention of the cothtth'rcial ivorld i§ being fixed on that country. I hate it fran aft English gentleman, connected with one the first houses in London, who has visited his Higline'S' the view of personally satisfying himself of the sti3.: of the country, its prospects, and the practicability of establishing with advantage a branch of his house there. He found Ibrahim Paella at Acre, who n ceived him very graciously, kept him there three days with him, and entered in the most friendly and easy way into an explanation of his plans of go vernment for the country. His determination is not to interfere in any way with commerce, but to leave the people to dispose of their produce as they please, restricting himself merely to a very trifling duty for the present. The trade in silk, oil, cotton, and every other production of the country to be perfectly free; not only so, but he will give every encourage ment to those who may be disposed to embark their capital in any of those branches ; the produc tion of silk may be carried to any extent. His Highness is however of opinion that the people do not know how to treat the worm or to wind the silk properly, and that an importation of Italian§ or others well acquainted with this branch of fit= dustry might prove very beneficial to thogz: making the experiment. All the oil at present prOcinee4 will probably be required for the soap factories, i) , 14 , 4, this is a branch that might also be extend e d 1:1 infinitum, the climate, soil, everything concurring to favour it. As to cotton, he expects to export this year, from the province of Adana alone, which is described as the richest part of his Syrian domi-• nions, capable of growing everything, 80,000 can tars, and experiments are to be made there, in Beirout, Seida, and Acre, of the mako plant, 1-in offers land to all who may be disposed to cultivate! it on very low terms, giving it free for a couple oi l years, in case of its being in bad condition, or under other unfavourable circumstances. This branch of industry will probably increase immensely, as the country revives from the long course of oppression and misgovernment under which it has suffered. Ibra him Pacha is unceasing in his exertions to restore order and repair the errors of his predecessors, en couraging industry by every means in his power, opening up the country by roads, planting olives wherever they have been neglected ; but what is. perhaps, of greater importance, with the aid of several young men whom he has educated at his own expense in France and England, he has orga nized a system of government for the country, that Ivill ere long distinguish that as the most favoured portion of the Turkish empire. His views of government are more liberal than those, perhaps, of any Turk existing, certainly more liberal much than those of his father, who is unquestionably the first man of the present. day of the race of Moslem, and whose energy and enterprise Ibrahim possesses in an eminent degree, with other qualities that, when brought fully into operation, will probably secure him as high a place in history, and to his people more lasting benefit, than any Mohammed Ali is likely to confer. From what I have stated above, it will be seen that his views as to commerce are the very reverse of his father's, who makes a monopoly of every thing : an English man has no difficulty in deciding which of these courses is best. It has always been a matter of regret with me that Ibrahim was not allowed to found a new dynasty at Constantinople, because it is clear, by such a measure, the integrity of the Turkish empire, which seems so much desired by the great powers of the west, would not only have been secured, but a more effectual barrier oppo-ed to the aggression of Russia in that quarter than any other that they will be able to devise. Be sides, Ibrahim has a strong and growing party in Turkey, his conduct in the Morea and since having raised him very high in the eyes of his coun trymen, who say that he is not the man, in any ex tremity, to flee to foreign aid for protection. He proposes making Antioch the seat of goverment for Syria! and Alexandretta, which is only three leagues from it, the port, though this is not yet finally determined upon. Coals have been dis covered in three different places, not however of the first quality, so far as yet appears. It is said in the Augsburg Gazette of the 14th of February, on information received from Smyrna, " that an army of 18,000 men, which Mohammed Ali had despatched to the borders of the Red Sea to put down an insurrection in the Hedjaz, had been put to the route, and 2,000 Turkish Candiots had gone over to the rebels. Mohammed Ali was pre paring another army for the renewal of the attack." There is not a word of truth in all this ; nor should anything be believed that is said in the Smyrna Ga zette (whence, no doubt, that information was de rived) in regard to this country. The Pacha's army, which does not amount to half the number stated, has not as yet received the slightest check, nor is there a Turkish Candiot in it. His measures are generally too well take n f or an y suc h m i s h aps as tese. The army will proceed about this time from Djedda into the interior of Asia. The first object of attack is Sanna, the capital of Arabia Felix, hi therto a virgin town, no foreign force having ever yet approached it. Success in that will be followed by the subjugation of the whole country between Sanna and the sea, including Mocha and other rich and valuable provinces —in fact, the whole country bordering the east coast of the Red Sea, from Djedda to the Straits of Babelmandel. This coun try has, for a long time, been under the government of the Imauns of Sanna, a powerful family, who ex ercised an absolute sway over those parts ; but the present Imaun being a weak man, addicted to drink ing, civil dissension has arisen, different tribes have taken arms, and plundered and disturbed the. coun try, and upon the plea that such a state of things is dangerous, and might be of evil influence on the Paella's province of Mecca adjoining, as well as on account of having harboured "his rebel Bey, Turki Bel Mes, Mohammed Ali has determined to add this to his other extensive dominions. On Monday morning, as two journeymen painters were employed in the erection of a scaffold on the roof of the Herald's College, one of them, while in the act of tying two poles together, slipped off the board on which he was standing, and was precipitated into the street, from a height of between 70 and 80 feet, and killed on the spot.
