The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Lord SaAFTESBURY presented several petitions a gainst the opening of the Crystal Palace on Sundays. Earl GREY presented a petition from Gateshead in favour of the adoption of the recommendations contained in the report of the commissioners upon local dues upon shipping. COMMISSIONERS' REPORT ON THE MANAGE- MENT OF THE WAIL The Earl of CARDIGAN said, seeing the Secretary of State for War in his place, he was anxious to call his attention to a statement on a subject which was of the greatest importance to him, as involving bis character and conduct. In a report from the commissioners to inquire into the management of the war, which had recenVy been published, he felt that his ' character and conduct had been reflected upon in a very unfair manner. He felt that as a peer of of that house he ought, in his place in the House of Lords, to defend himself from those attacks. He now begged to give notice to the noble lord that to-naomw be would feel it his duty to transmit to the noble lord a full explanation of his conduct as far as it had been unfairly reflected upon by the report referred to: He felt that he could refute every charge that had been brought against him, and he could prove that up to the last moment of his command at the seat of war he had paid every attention to the welfare and comfort of the men and horses. It was his sincere desire and wish that the noble lord should give every possible pub licity to the statement which he would place in his ands. 'rile Earl of LUCAN said he felt that he ought to take this opportunity of replying to the reflec• Lions made in the report upon his conduct and profes sional character. Immediately upon seeing that report he addressed to the noble lord the Secretary of War a letter, in which he refuted in the most positive terms every part of the report in which his- conduct was impovird. The noble lord also knew that he requested that that letter should be given to the public at once. As such publication had not yet taken place, he thought it only re,4tonable to ask the noble lord to place the letter on the table of that•hon.oe. - Lord PAN MIRE said that in the full and elabOrate report of the Commissioners he was quite sure that it never was their intention to .attack in any manner the character of the two noble earls as peers of Par!iarrent. They simply expressea , their opinions as to what bad taken place at the seat of war in the winter And spring of 1354. He admitted having received a letter from the noble earl who had last addressed the house, addressed to hini officially. That letter he had referred to the commissioners. One of those commissioners, now in London, stated that the charges contained in the report could be sup ported by returns given on the spot. In a few days he hoped to be able to lay that letter, as well as the reply, on the table of the house. The Earl of DERBY thought it was the duty of the Government to give every opportunity to the noble earls whose conduct had been called in question to have the whole matter investigated. Lord PANMLTRE was understood to say he was of the same opinion. _ _ The Earl of lIARDWICXE said that if he were in the situation of either of his noble friends, and that full opportunity. was not given to .11'.m to refute the charges, he would consider himseli justified is removing the de corations from his breast and returning them bask to his • Sovereign. Lord PANNIURE said that the decorations were given for distiugui Led - services against the enemy. Nothing contained in that report, tr that could be said elsewhere, could detract from the merits of those services. THE WENSLEYDALE PEERAGE. ,The LORD CHANCELLOR said, seeing his noble friend (L9rd Lyndhurst) in his pi ace, he begged to alk him what course ho intended to pursue to-morrow, as the committee of privileges was to meet that day at two o'clock. He thought it ought to be known what course was to he adopted when the committee met. Lord LYNDHURST said that when the committee met he would state the course he intended to pursue, and he had no doubt the noble earl (Granville) opposite would al'o have a course to propose, and that o th er noble' lords would likewise offer suggeStions. The course he proposed to adopt was this,—that when all these suggestio::s were before the Committee of Privi leges, to leave that committee to adopt the course they thought best. A conversation here took place, in which the Earl of Derby, Lord Brougham, and Lord Campbell took part and the matter then dropped. Earl GREY rose to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the question of which he had given notice, namely, whether lie can give any explanation of the apparent contradiction between Colonel -Rose's despatch of the 25th of March, 1553, and that of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe of the 27th of May following ; the first of.— these despatches contained a memorandum of Mr. Pisani of the account given to him by Rifaat Pacha and the Grand Vizier of the substance of the note verbale oresente.d by Prince Menschiknff to the Porte on the 16th of March, while Lord Stratford de Redeliffe states in his despatch of the 27th of May that Mr. Pi-rani had assured him that Rifaat Pacha would never be brought to admit the existence of his note. 4 ) , r 3 14, I' `-v` a N I , I t 17 , k?

Mr. H. BERKELEY asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why burials were allowed to continue in metropolitan graveyards, now that ample accommodation existed for interments at a distance from London. Why the churchyards of Saint John, Hox tan ; St Mary, Haegerston ; St. Giles, Camberwell, having been repeatedly closed by order of the Council, have as often , been allowed to re-open, and were, to gether with the Blue Lion burial-ground, in Grays-inn lane, and -,,Trinity, Brompton, now in -fall - operation ; and why the objectionable practioe of placing more than one body in one grave was continued in the cemetery at Brompton, which had been purchased by, and was under the control of, the Government-r" Sir G. GREY said the burial grounds referred to had not been r,peat-Aly closed, but an extension of time had been granted some of them till the new city of London Cemetery was ccmp!eted. That cemetery would soon be ready for the reception of burials, and then those places woukl be permanently closed. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Mr. HUMS asked — the Secretary for Ireland whether the Government had had under its considera tion the question of assimilating the weights and mea sures and tales in 'lreland ; and, if so, whether it was their intention to bring in any measure upon the sub ject this session ? Mr. HORSMAN said it was not the intention of the Government to bring forward any measure of the kind thi4 session. THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE. Mr. EWART inquired of the First Lord of the Trea sury whether any, and (if any) what, measures had been adopted for the establishing a system of examination, or other educational test, for candidates in the diplomatic service of the country ? Lord PALMERSTON stated there had been commu nications with the commissioners for the examination of candidates for public appointments, and he would have no objection to lay that correspondence, relative to the examinations for embassies and consular appointments, on the table of the house. Mr. RICARDO gave notice that he should move ou that day fortnight for a select committee to inquire into the system of Government contracts. THE POLICE BILL. In answer to an HON. MEMBER, Sir G-. GREY said he believed it was the general wish of the - house that this measure should be proceeded with as speedily as possible. He ,-bad postponed it already for some days, on -the understanding that it should be proceeded with on Wednesday next. Under these circumstances, therefore, he could not comply with the wish of the hon. gentleman to further postpone the second reading of the bill. LOCAL DUES ON SHIPPING. In answer to a question relative to this bill, Lord PALMER•STON said it was the intention of the Government to go on with the bill on the 25 h, if circumstances permitted. EXCEEDING THE ESTIMATES. Sir 11. WILLOUGHBY called the attention of the house to the time generally occupied in passing the esti mates for the year, and deprecated 'the system of ex pending such large sums as %% ere shown by the accounts without a vote of the house, and called for an explana tion. He mentioned the sum of 435,0001. as having, been so expentled. Sir C. WOOD said, the first vote to-night would be to cover that expenditure, when he would state when and how it had occurred. Mr. WILLIAMS thought that as peace was near at hand the estimates should be pDstponed. He had no wish to cripple the Government, or for them to relax their exertions during the consideration of the pending peace negotiations, but he was of opinion that if they passed these estimates now, and peace was declared, the country would be sad dled with a war force. It was 'that he wished to prevent. If war was to be continued he would do all he could towards its being carried out with vigour. He referred to the increased expenditure in some department for the past year, and the small decrease on others which the expenditure on last year showed. He called atten• tion to there being 314 admirals, of whom 18 were on service, arid three or four in the dockyards, leaving 264 unemployed, being about one for every single shin in commission. He next referred to the half-pay of officers in the navy and the good-service pensions, which latter, he said, were not properly awarded. NAVY ESTIMATES. The house then went into committee on the navy estimates. Sir C. WOOD, in doing so, said the first vote he should ask for was an excess of expenditure fur the paz t- year, which controverted his statement that no expenditure could take place without a vote of the house. It was impossible to frame the estimates so as to meet the precise expenditure of the country.. Sometimes the expenditure was above, and at other times below, the estimates. This could hardly be called an excess of expenditure. Amongst the changes made by his predecessor (Sir J. C o ckbu rn ) ou th e other side of the house, was that of a better system of account for. the navy ; but it Ilad not been properly tested, before the present war ; the consequence of that had been to show an excess of expenditure to the amount of 204,000/. S i far from taking blame for this, it arose from a highly creditable system of keeping the navy accounts with the accuracy of a commercial house. He referred to the improved system now adopted for pay ing off ,ships, and he eulogised the zeal and assiduity of the various officer; in carrying. out this improved system. A further change was proposed by the Government in the dockyards, by the ap pointment of an accountant to discharge the dd ties which at present devolved upon officers who had other duties to perform of an onerous nature, which would he the means, it was hoped, of effecting a great saving to the country. He now came to the estimates for the year, and it was true they were framed on the supposition of war con tinuing. Although peace was imminent, he considered he was justified in producing estimates to provide for the contingency of war continuing. He was of opin• ion with the member for Lambeth, it was economical and better for the object they had in view, to be -pre pared for war and show the enemy they were better pre pared for war than they bad ever been yet. (Hear.) In the first year of peace no very reduced estimates could he presented, which it was necessary the house should bear in mind, as he intended to take the timatee shortly. The increase of men proposed for the navy was 6,000, which would incur an increase of payment of 350,0001., owing partly to that increase of the number and the increased rates of pay given to sailors generally. He proposed to take a vote • on account, and instead of asking for three millions and odd, to ask but for two millions and odd. Fur provi sions he asked for a million on account. In the Admi ralty department, even if peace were declared, it would not be possible to bring up the arrears with a de creased number of clerks, and therefore no diminution could take place there. For the coast volunteers, in cluding the reduction that had taken place, the same vote as last year would be taken. The hon. member then entered into the greets that would be required for the scientific departments, the &et• item being an in crease of salary to the Astronomer Royal, and another 1,2001. for au. improved equatorial; and 3,0001; fur the building and mounting necessary for it. In the grant for the officers of the dockyards no diminution would be asked for, but an increase. As there were a largo number of Roman Catholic officers and seamen in the fleet, orders had been given for providing facilities of worship for them; and it was proposed to pay in each port a Boman Catholic priest for the discharge of those religious duties. He found that on an aaerage the number of Officers and men who attended worship was 51, at Portsmouth, 120; and at Plymouth, 223. As to the salaries of officers and men in the yards at home and nhand, it would be impossible to reduce the expenditure for the ensuing year, but lie thought they would have to increase the rate of wages for the artificers at Constantinople and the Black Sea. In the stores the Government had been obliged to have re nurse tee Italian and Hungarian hemp, which was of au admirable character to supply Baltic hemp. Baltic hemp was charged at 661. per ton, and the Goveramenthaving taken 6,600 tons of Italian hemp at 521. per ton, had b a't theeffe h c a t d o f a double reduc ingdoule Baltic hemp to 441. The Go vernmentsupp] y of excellent Italian hemp on hand, but n evertheless, they would continue to make fe th purchases. The hon. member then re ferred to the supply of copper, and the number of small vessels that had been ordered to be constructed, the ex pense of which would have to go-into next year's ex penditure. An increase had also taken place for coals, , in the Baltic.

SHIELDS, Friday Afterntion.—The effects of the fear ful gale of yesteriay morning are likely to prove very serious to shipping in the Tyne. It was at first com puted that 10,0001. would cover the damage done to the ships by being brought in collision during the gale ; but from 15,000/. to 20,0001. will be nearer the mark. The storm was most fearful in Shields harbour, about three o'clock in the morning, and the spectacle presented by ships breaking loose from their moorings, and smasiiing and crashing into each other, is described as awful be yond description. It was high water about 3 o'clock in the morning, when the gale was at its height, and the Tyne presented the appearance of an inland sea rather than a commercial river. No small craft could live, and it was impossible to get steam tugs to assist the vessels that were doing so great an amount of damage. The following are some of the casualties which have taken place :—Attwood, of Shoreham, foremast carried away ; Swedish schooner Fibre, upset, lying keel up, near the Hoy-hill deck ; Celle tess of Westmoreland, ofNe %mania, lost mainma.standsatils ; Ocean, 'of Colchester, lost one of her boats and stern stove in ; Sirius, of Shields, stern da maged ; John White, of Whitstable, loot his boat ; Sheppard, of Shields , lostriadder, sails, and a boy drowned; ' the Evadne, of Shields, stem stove in, with other da mage ; Mary Piing, of Shields, dismasted ; Penelope ? London, lost part of her rigging ; Gemini, of Shield, lost wizen top ; Hercules, of Aldborough, completely disrnasted and a wreck ; Dientla, of Guernsey, lost bowsprit and her topmasts carried away ; Premium, of Shields, ta,ffrail gone and stem stove in ; the brig Ma tilde both masts carried away and much damaged in the hull ; an apprentice, named Henry Clarke, nearly killed. He belonged to the Good Intent, of Bridport, and the accident was caused by another vessel's mast falling over the Good Intent. Some casualties happened at Sunderland, but nut anything so serious as on the Tyne. In the Long-reach a great amount of injury has been sustained by shipping property. A number of ships broke from their moorings at Jarrow-quay. A foreign schooner is capsized and sunk. A vessel, the William Sheppard, has her topgalla.ntmast gone, and is otherwise Much damaged. Several ships have sustained injuries besides, and a large iron screw•eteamer, the Sylph, fitting out by Messrs. , . Palmer, of Jarrow, is reported to be much stove and. damage I. A large floating dock drove across from the . Coble Dean to the south side of Shields Harbour and is sunk with a-brig called the Advance on board of it. The Antelope brig lies athwart the tiers at the New Quay in a very awk ward position, and some mischief has been done to the fencing of the new floating battery building at Messrs. Palmer's. The following vessels are upon the in-sand : the Rosebud, a Danish brig, the Ceroline and Henrietta, the James and Francis, the Sir Charles Napier, of Nor way, the Amazon, the Royalist, a Dutch galliot, the Flying Fish, and a foreign brig, and the Brimas. A good deal of damage has been done in the country by the late storm—trees upro ,ted, stacks of hay and corn scattered about the roads, and other mischief. The injury to property in the neighbourhood of Shields and Newcastle, and throughout the cou'itiee of Durham and Northumberland, is very extensive indeed, and the restoration of buildings and walls blown down will in volve an expenditure of some thousands of pounds. The electric telegraph poles that were blown down upon the North-Eastern Railway have been restored. Part of the spire of TYnemonth village church was blown down yesterday morning, and did some damage. .. - In Scotland the effects of the storm appear to have been very disastrous. . On the night, between Wednes• day and Thursday, Glasgow and neighbourhood, and the whole west of Scotland, were visited by a frightful hurricane. Throughout the suburbs the amount of damage is very great. A portion of tire steeple of St. Matthew's Church had been blown down. There bas been very eerious destruction to property in the northern part of the city. A large recently erected etaik in the works of Messrs. Tennant, of St. Rollo; was blown down, and falling upon valuable works below has caused very serious loss. This was not the great stalk, which is the highest in the kingdom ; but any where cise the chimney which has thus fallen before the blest would be considered a mighty one, for it was nearly 350 feet in height.. The extensive range of work shops in the course of erection for the Caledonian Rail way Company, at St. Rollo; have been disrupted in the most serious manner—presenting all the features of a mass of ruins. In the same district many of the monu ments have been damaged and gravestones laid flat in the Necropolis, and injury of a similar character has been sustained in Sighthill Cemetery. The hurricane was experienced is great fury in the village of Govan. A young woman named Jessie Muir, 25 years of age, whose father bad died so recently as Saturday last, was in the house alone, and began to get very frightened as the storm grew in intensity. She aecordingly went into the house of a neighbour, but had only been there for a few minutes when the chimney fell through the roof of the house, by which she was deprived of life on the spot. In the southern part of the city the destruction of pro perty was great. During the morning the roof of Mr. Dixon's ironworke, Govan bank, the roof of the boiler shed at Lily-bank, and the roofs of several finiall build ings in the district were blown off. Many casualties occurred on the south side of the river. Two magnifi cent building sheds, erected about three years ago by Messrs. Tud and M'Gregor, iron shipbuilders and engineers, at Partick, were destroyed. These sheds, constructed in the Most substantial manner possible, were the most unique of their kind in the United King dom. They -were in two divisions, the largest being about 340 feet in length, 60 feet in breadth, and 60 . feet high ; the second was 60 feet in height, 50 feet in breadth, and 280 feet long, They were erected at great cost, and while ships of the largest tonnage could be constructed with ease underneath their roof, the artisans employed were protected in comfort from the inclemency of the weather. In a few minutes their destruction was complete. About half-past 1 o'clock a tremendous blast from 'the south-west caused them to yield, and they fell with a fearful crash, .burying two vessels in course of con struction in the ruins. The inhabitants in various parts of Partick heard the noise, and wore under the impression that it was thunder. The immense timber supports of the shed and the strong iron bars forming the joistiug of the roof were broken to pieces ; but this is not to be wondered at when;we consider the height of the erectionsand the im mense weight of the structure, there being about 150 tons weight of iron used in the construction of the roof, which was fitted with 34,000 square feet of corrugated glass. The whole weight of the structure was from 250 to 300 tons. The steamer constructing under the western shed, and which was nearly ready for launching, is, we are happy to say, very little injured ; the other, of lesser dimensions, the framework of which was in process of erection, is very much damaged, but the exact extent oannot be ascertained. The 'damage which Messrs. Tod and M`Gregor will sustain by this disaster will amount to between 15,0001. and 20,0001. The village of Partick also suffered from the effects of the storm. The dwel lings generally suffered more or less through the destruc tion of chimneys, the tearing • off of lead, breaking of glass, &c. -At Whiteinch the storm was not less severe. In Messrs. Barclay and Curie's establishment the smithy and part of the engineers' shop were destroyed. The smithy in the premises lately occupied by Messrs. Sande man and M`Lauriii %as unroofed, and the adjoining workshops otherwise injured: Pollokshaws and its neighbourhood were exposed to the full force and fury of the storm. The river and frith at Bowling.were terribly agitated. Ships were driven from their moorings from the tail of the bank, and a large vessel was driven up the river by the gale, and cast ashore near Cardross bay, where she lies on her beam ends. The steamers which were moored or lying "in ordinary" in Bowling-bay, were driven from their moorings. The steamer Wel,ington has sunk in the bay, and the steam-yacht of Mr. Malver, of Liver pool, remains in a similar position. The steamer Venns has been stripped of her paddle-boxes, and her paddle. wheels have been carried away. The damage done at the BiOhmielaw is not of such a serious description. At Renfrew Ferry, the tide rose to such a height as to flood the lowerflats of several of the houses to the depth of between two and three feet. - On Wednesday evening Greenock was visited by the most violent tempest which has swept over it in the memory of those living. Several of the boats which were lying on the beach were floated away, and a schooner on a neighbouring slip was half-launched; and has not been heard of since. Serious damage was suf fered by the shipping in the harbour. Of the vessels Iliftg in the roads some went ashore in the neighbourhood of Heleusburgh, others drove for some distance; and two large ships.--the Mohawk and S:entor—rode out the gale. So fiercely did it blow,, and so heavy was the sea,. that the latter vessel was pitching bowsprit under with 125 fathoms of chain on her port anchor. At Ilelensburgh the loss of property has been very great (some of the residents estimating it as high as 100,0001.), as it was exposed to the whole fury of the gale. Sporting Intelligence.

In accordance with the wish which was expressed before his death, his funeral was " very quiet." Ile was, however, conveyed to his last resting•place amidst the tears and regreti of his fellow-townsmen, in whose memory his many acts of kindness, charity, and courtesy will long live. We knew poor Frank when a child, and have watched him from his cradle to his grave, and we have no hesitation in stating, that he was never guilty of a mean or paltry action, and throughout his brief but extraordinary career on the turf he preserved his fair fame untarnished. It was, in fact, never even sullied by the slightest breath of suspicion. In him his employers placed the most absolute trust, and their confidence was never abused. As a jockey, too, Frank Butler was de servedly popular ; the public were always satisfied when he was - "up" on a favourite, for they knew that, if sound judgment and admirable horsemanship wera alone required to achieve an important vibt , ,ry, he possessed them in an eminent degree. Poor Frank received in his youth the education of a gentleman ; he was conversant with both French and Latin, and poseessed many accomplishments. In a ball-room he was particularly distinguished by a peculiar ease and propriety of behaviour. Unlike many jockeys, he served no decided apprenticeship to his pro fession ; he belonged to no training establishment, bu t was taught to ride by his uncle, the late Sam Chifney. A better tutor and au apter pupil were never brought to gether. Frank's style of riding was very similar to that of his uncle ; Frank invariably made a waiting race, com ing with a terrific Chifney " rush" at the finish. This his sound judgment of pace enabled him to do with certainty and effect. Who that saw him win the Derby on Daniel O'Rourke can forget the determination with which he called upon the horse to make his final effort ? Daniel O'Rourke seemed to be actually lifted by the power of the jockey past the winning chair. The spec tators were dumfounded for the moment, and when Daniel O'Rourke's numbcr was displayed as the winning horse they could scarcely credit the fact. "Where did he come from ?" was a question which was frequently repeated with a puzzled look of astonishment. It is still a popular'belief that Frank Butler could have won the Derby of that year on the second, third, or fourth horse. Although the success of Daniel O'Rourke astounded the ring, yet it was not unexpected by poor Frank. Just prior to the race, as be was quitting the weighing-room to saddle, he tapped us on the shoulder, and with his quiet smile of confidence, said, "I s h a ll pull through today. When he rode the little pig of a horse," as Daniel wag called, back to the Grand Stand. I enclosure, he was recaived with deafening and pro longed cheers. His face, however, had its customary stolid look of indifference, and he dismounted as coolly and quietly as if he had just ridden an unimportant "walk over" at Newmarket. - Another extraordinary achievement , of Frank Butler's was at Chester in 1846, when he won the Cup on Coranna, an animal with only three sound legs, arid in whoth its' trainer put so little confidence that he hedged the money which he had invested at a decided loss. • Frank Butler for many years rode at small country meetings before he became known to fame. His prin cipal employer at that time was the late much-respected William Beresford. Subsequently be was regularly en gaged to ride for General Anson and Mr. Bowes. His last important victory was achieved on West Australian for the St. Leger in 1353. His declining health com pelled him soon afterwards to give up riding.

By her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for valuable and extraordinary improvements in the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Racecourse, Opera, and Per. spectivo Glasses, to know the distances of objects viewed through them—of great importance to the army, navy, and others. These telescopes possess such extraordinary powers that some three and a-half inches, with an extra eyes piece, srill show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's rings and the double stars ; with the same telescope can be seen a person's countenance three miles and a half distant, and an object from 16 to 20 miles.
