BAILLIE a new writ was ordered for the county of Selkirk, in the room of Mr, A. E. Lockhart, who has accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. INLAND REVENUE BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Betting-6 to 4on The Lawyer, 2to 1 agst Malta, and sto 1 agst Prince Plausible. Won by three-quarters of a length. Prince Plausible was a bad third. Mr. W. MARTIN moved that it be an instruction to the committee that they should have power to divide the bill into two or more bills. Mr. NEWDEGATE supported the motion, and said he considered the bill as a sequel to the Consolidated Supply Bill of the Chancellor •f the Exchequer. He contended that the latter measure should have been divided into three bills, in conformity with the spirit and practice of Parlia mentary proceedings, The Chancellor of the Exchequer had shown great dexterity in regard to this bill now before the house. In the Consolidated Supply Bill he forced through the principles of the charges proposed in taxation, and he had reserved for this bill the details that were neces sary to give effect to the carrying out of the alterations introduced. Direct taxation was odious, but it was when it camelto be enforced that its objectionable character became apparent. He believed some of the provisions of this bill were unnecessary, and he called on the house to show that they would not assent to the innovation of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in requiring them to legislate in the dog days on important financial questions. Mr. GLADSTONE said the h.ou. ruemberdid notunder stand, and misrepresented the nature of this bill. How ever, he had considered the motion of the hon. member (Mr. Martin), and he would assent to it. Mr. HADFIELD contended that by one of the clauses of A Sweepstakes of 50 sovs each, for two-year-olds ; colts, Bst 71b ; fillies, Bst 41b. Five furlongs. Mr. Payne's Alchymist, by the Cure (31b ex.).. (Rogers) 1 Lord Coventry's Exchequer (L. Snowden) 2 Mr. Merry's Discretion (Custance) 3 Betting-5 to 2on Alchymist. Won by two lengths. Four lengths separated the second and third. this bill relating to beer-houses, flood-gates of vice and immorality would be opened for the purpose of replenish ing her Majesty's exchequer. Mr. HENLEY supported the proposal for a division. After some remarks from Sir J. FERGUSON the motion was agreed to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER entered into some explanations, in the course of which he stated that he proposed merely by this bill to obtain administrative powers, and denied that he had introduced any fiscal novel. ties by this measure. What he proposed was only to ex tend principles that were already in operation. In illustra tion of this he referred to the clause relating to the income tax, and contended that the only object proposed was to The Burghley Handicap of 25 sovs each, with 100 added. Two miles and a quarter, and 146 yards. Mr. Swindell's Weatherbound, 4 yrs, 7st 101 b (Adams) 1 Mr. Adkin nd Newstead, 5 yrs, 7st 21b.... (J.

With regard to the 43d clause, to which there had been considerable ob jection, though he did not concur in the views expressed by some hon. members, yet he would aban don it, considering the late period of the session. Under the circumstances he trusted the hon. member (Mr. Hennessy) would not press his motion. Mr. HENNESSY said that he did not think the ex- planation of the right hon. gentleman satisfactory. He (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) had disclaimed having introduced any novelty, but he contended that it was a novelty to be required on the 19th of July to discuss im portant financial changes which should have been submitted to their consideration in February last. He concluded by moving " That this house will, upon this day three months, resolve itself into the said committee." The CH ANCELLOR of the E X C HE QUER said the hon. had member not made himself acquainted with the real nature of the bill, and he trusted the house would not accede to the motion, which would have the effect of in juring seriously the interests which he was desirous to protect. Sir S. NORTHCOTE defended the course adopted by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but he thought the clauses relating to succession duty should be postponed, and, if that course were adopted, he trusted•the hon. mem ber (Mr. Hennessy) would not press his motion. Mr. PHILLIPS agreed with the last-speaker, and ex pressed a hope that the succession duty would not be pressed, After some further discussion, in the course of which strong objections were made to the 4tth clause, which imposed pains and penalties of a novel character, Mr. HENNESSY said he would withdraw his motion if the Chancellor of the Exchequer would omit from the bill this clause. The CHANCELLOR of the PIC CTIEQUETt ,a;.l he wax sorry lie could not comply with the proposition of the hon. member.

DRINKING FOUNTAIN AT THE ROYAL EXCEL!: NGE. —Yesterday an elegant drinking fountain, erected in front of the Royal Exchange, was to have been publicly opened, but owing to the City Court of Sewers protesting against the Fountain Association dedicating it to the memory of the late Mr. Braidwood, the ceremony was deferred until the inscription has been cut out of the base and a plain slab introduced. A deputation has waited upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer, inviting him to become a candidate for the City of London, in event of Lord John Russell being n called to the Upper House. A contemporary has reaso to believe, however, that " Mr. Gladstone declined the proposal, and that he will decline a similar offer from South Lancashire, preferring to continue to hold his seat for the rinlyormity of Oxford," THE AFFRAY IN NORTHUMBERLAND STREET, STRAND. Yesterday evening -- - Mr. Roberts, one of the prin cipals in this most mysterious encounter, died of his injuries at Charing.cross Hospital. When this unfortunate gentleman was first admitted little if any hopes were entertained of his recovery, or even of his surviving through the night. The fearful nature of his wounds and the nervous shock which followed on them made his death appear almost certain. Nevertheless, strong restoratives were administered, and, contrary to the expectation of his medical attendants, the patient at last rallied and regained his senses. From that time until yesterday he continued to progress, though so ex tensive were the fractures of the skull, a n d so dreadful the lacerated scalp wounds, that none could tell from day to day which would be his last, nor say that there was hope of his complete re covery. We believe Mr. Roberts was not a very tractable patient with regard to the remedies which his medical attendants thought necessary. He, however, after the second day was perfectly sensible, and could communicate all his wants to those about him. But with regard to the cause or causes of the late desperate affray he would answer nothing, and maintained an obstinate silence to the last whenever the subject was alluded to. The day before yesterday he was going on very favourably, and passed an unusually quiet night. Dr. Canton saw him as early as eight o'clock yesterday morn ing, when he seemed to have done very well. Be tween half-past nine and ten, however, there were very sudden symptoms of a change for the worse, apparently as if inflammation of the brain had set in. This change, though marked and alarming, was not of long continuance, and towards mid day he seemed rather better till after one o'clock, when it became evident that he was fast dying. When admitted to the hospital the de ceased had a terrible fracture of the right temple, but, as there was no depression of the bones, it was, of course, not m e ddl e d w ith. Wh en th e alarming symptoms set in, after one o'clock yesterday, Dr. Canton at once determined as a last chance to re move these broken pieces. The operation was ac cordingly performcd, and thlue or four large frag ments of the bone were removed. This gave no relief, and it was at once seen that the end was merely a question of an hour, more or less. His relatives, who were summoned on the first fatal in dications setting in, were with him up to his death, which took place almost without suffering soon after six o'clock yesterday evening. He was quite insensible for some long time previous to his death, so that it was useless attempting to realise the ex pectations entertained that he might, in his last moments, throw some light on this extraordinary mystery. The statements that Major Murray is fast pro gressing towards convalescence are quite prema ture. He is going on well, but this is the very utmost that can be said es yet ; for he is now, and has been since his admission to the hospital, in almost as critical a condition as Mr. Roberts was till his death yesterday. The bullet itself inflicted a deep and dangerous wound in the throat, and Dr. Canton was obliged to perform a very formidable operation to extract it. Even progressing as he has done, some days must elapse before Major Murray can be considered out of danger. In the meantime the police, under Mr. Superin tendent Durkin and Inspector Mackenzie, are busied night and day in endeavouring to elucidate this affair. The greater part of the immense mass of documents, notes, and papers in the deceased's room have been carefully examined, and we believe we are now justified in saying that from these and other sources a clue to this mystery has been ob tained. It is not likely, however, that the nature of the suspicions entertained will transpire even at the isquest to be held on the body of Mr. Roberts. It was not thought advisable last night to inform Major Murray of the death of his antagonist or assailant. THE GREAT FIRE AT LONDON-BRIDGE Up to last evening the fire still continued to hang about ser eral parts of the ruins, and one of the steam floating engines was even then at work; and it is satisfactory to state that the firemen, with the aid of that machine, had prevented the flames from entering one of the vaults contiguous to those de stroyed, and have in consequence saved oil and tal low worth £20,000. Under the direction of Mr. George and Mr. Roberts, who are acting for Messrs. Toplis and Harding, of St. Paul's Churchyard, and engineer Tozer, the enormous quantity of 130 tons weight of jute have been got out of the ruins, as well as 150 tons weight of rags, 65 tons weight of cotton, about 12,000 undressed hides, an immense number of bags of rice, nearly 100 tons of hemp and flax, several hundred salted hides, as well as over five tons weight of arsenic, 25 or 26 carboys of aqua fortis, and an immense quantity of clover seed and flour. The exact amount saved of rice, sago, coffee, cutch, provisions in casks (the latter perfectly cooked), peas, some mixed with sago, some in heaps from run ning amongst rice, sugar, and pepper, it is impossible at present to tell, but it is stated that those articles in the present state will realise some thousands of pounds towards meeting the losses of the insurance offices. At Hayes Wharf no fewer than 14,700 un dressed hides, butts, and buffalo horns have been got out of the ruins, some very triflingly injured. On the quay which runs between Alderman Hum phery's wharf are piled an immense quantity of goat skins and Malacca canes saved from the conflagration: At Chamberlain's wharf nearly 1,000 hides have already been got out of the debris, as well as a vast quantity of flour, fat, and casks of lard, yellow ochre and other colours, white copperas, glue, and many tons of arsenic and white lead, as well as 14 great piles of rags for paper-making. Had it not been for the indomitable perseverance displayed by the firemen for the extraordinarily long period of nearly a month, all the above-named property would have shared the same fate as that which has been consumed. The police are obliged to be still kept on duty to prevent the curious from gathering under the tottering walls in search of relics. No one has yet been appointed to fill the place of the late Mr. Braidwood, each foreman acting under Mr. Wm. Brown, of the Westminster Fire Office, as superintendent of their respective districts. 9 A BALLOON VIEW OF BLORDIN. (Extract from " Coxtvell's Aerial Log.") Oa the Bth and 9th of July, I was engaged to ascend from Aston Park, Birmingham, and on the 10th from the Crystal Palace, with a view, I sup pose, of adding a second ascensionist feature to that of the tightrope performance of the celebrated M. Blondin. Of course the balloon was but a small satellite attending the great acrobatic lu minary, but it was th ere diverting public atten tion, and was in keeping with the aerial character of the principal attraction. My ascent on Tuesday took place about ten minutes before M. Blondin mounted the rope, and I was not a little curious to observe the popular exhibition from an altitude of some two or three thousand feet. The first intimation that the intrepid Frenchman was within view came in the form of a loud and long continued burst cf applause which distinctly reached the car. The object (I ask pardon of M. Blondin) which I irst perceived appeared to be that of a small monkey dangling between two sti c k s ; but the balloon was rising fast, and both M. Blon din and the people became extremely small by de grees, and in a few seconds more almost l u di crous l y so. The tight - rope excitement, I found, had t a k en as much possession of my mind as it d ou btl ess h a d with terrestial obsarvers. It would be difficult to do scribe the pictorial representation in the grand and imposing language which a grave reporter would employ taking notes in the immediate vicinity of the lion of the day. I can only record in my diary the scene as it appeared to me in mid air, and this is the picture :—ln a park where stately trees assumed the diminutive form of gooseberry bushes and large sheets of water looked like little ponds, and Aston Hall seemed but a tiny architectural model, there was congregated on the right hand slope of Lilliputian ground a swarm of busy bees. A spider's web betwixt two twigs was spun near them, and a gnat-fly perched on one thread, which caused the bees to buzz, and move their heads as if prodigiously pleased. several times the leg of a spider across him, and b The gnat, in moving along, appeared to have buzzed and he turned over, and then th . e b saw him cross from twig to twig, t the humming sound rose . big e e a s a n n d d a t settlel ls on he top of either a bud which stuck out l nea r r esented himself, but twig.

Just as I noticed the spider was approachi ng th e opposite twig a mu rk y evening puff of vapour inter vened, and I betook myself to my own business, by hospitality no means uninterested with the singular sight had A fte r witnessed. descen d ng, and partaking of th e of a country squire I described the balloon view of Bl o ndin, when the squire moralized on the event, to the effect that the most illustrious men are bit insects when seen from above, and that the uproari ous shouts of assembled thousands sound but as the humming of bees when distance reader great things fgagl. and comparison AMERICA. The arrival of the Bremen puts us in possession of intelligence from New York to the 6th. THE CIVIL WAR. There had been a considerable advance of Fede ral troops into Virginia. A despatch from Wash ington, dated the sth, says : Last night the Third United States Infantry, eight hundred strong, passed over the Long Bridge into Virginia, and will form a portion of the ad vance column. Three other regiments also marched about midnight. The Garibaldi Guard and three other regiments also marched about midnight. The German Blenker Rifles will take up their line of march to-day from this side, and will also form a portion of the advance column. Five thousand men are to he moved to the Vir ginia side of the river to-night. The corps darinee under Gen. INl'Dowell is to consist of 40,000 men, divided into four, divisions of 10,000 men each—the first under Gen. Tyler, the second Juicier Col. lleintzelman, and the third under Col. Hunter. The fourth is to form a re serve. Each division will be composed of two bri gades of four re g i ments, an d cava l ry an d ar till er y sufficient to constitute the complement of 10,000 men. It is stated positively that Col. Blenker's regi ment of German Rifles will form the advance of skirmishers. It is under orders to proceed to the other side of the river on Sunday afternoon next.• The general movement is to occur early in the coming week, but the precise time will, of course, be made to correspond with the movements of the divisions of Generals M'Clellan and Patterson. The Union troops have advanced to within three miles of Fairfax Court House. Intelligence reached here this evening from Gen. Patterson's column, that the Union forces were but seven miles from the rebels; and that General Pat terson, at last accounts, was preparing to advance his column in the direction of the rebel army, which was supposed to be about 12,000 strong, under com mand of Gen. Johnston. This movement of Gen. Patterson is said to be in accordance with Gen. Scott's instructions. General M'Clellan, from the north-west, is also advancing, and will soon be upon the rebels with a large force. General Cadwallader has also instructions to put his forces in motion, and unless the rebels beat a hasty retreat there will be sharp work. Colonel Stone has reached the Point of Rocks with his command, some 4,000 men, and will be able to co-operate with the other advancing divi sions. Mr. Grow's assertion in his speech on taking the chair, that the rebellion should be crushed at all hazards, and at whatever cost, produced the most enthusiastic applause on the floor of the house and. in the galleries. At the celebration of the 4th of July in Washing - - ton twenty-two New York regiments defiled before the President. Mr. Lincoln, instead of making a speech, introduced General Scott, and General Scott, instead of making a speech, bowed to the assembled troops. Speeches were then made by Mr. Seward, Mr. Bates, and other politicians. At the conclusion the President hoisted a new flag, which seemed to give great satisfaction to those who were assembled. BY TELEGRAPH VIA FATHER POINT. MONTREAL, 6 p.m. The steamship Great Eastern, with troops from Liverpool, passed Riviere du Loup at nine this. morning, and is expected to reach Quebec this even ing. The steamer Nova Scotian arrived at Father Point on the 4th. The elections in Montreal and Toronto have ter minated in favour of the Ministry. The weather is intensely warm. The New York _Herald of the 6th observes that the President's message and the news brought by this mail will create much sensation in Europe. The monotony (it says) which for some weeks past has characterised the condition of the vast Union army concentrated on the Potomac--broken., as it has been only by an occasional skirmish—is now changed to an active advance movement upon the rebel lines in all directions, which must coin, pel the enemy either to make a disastrous retreat,, or risk a general engagement, and the result of which can hardly be doubted. The general advance in the direction of Richmond has commenced along the entire line and the northern side, whilor General Butler's forces in the vicinity of Fortress, Monroe were gradually closing up in the aher. direction. It is not thought that General. John ston will venture the chances of a collision with General Patterson's superior force, partially sur rounded as he is by the army of General M'Clellan, but will fall back to Winchester and Manassas Junction, en route for Richmond, and hence no battle may take place in that direction. It may be also, that the Union troops advancing from Alexandria and Arlington Heights towards Fairfax and Manas-. sas may find tho rebelo retreating before them, er . ., that until the army of the Government reaches t-,• no ivicinity of Richmond—the rebel capital—the fight ing may possibly be confined to outpost skirmishes and the dislodgment of masked batteries. How ever, now that the advance of this immense army has fairly commenced, no lengthened period can. elapse before a general, and it is to be hoped deci sive, engagement occurs. The Government has now in the field a force of 300,000 men, of whom 210,000 are sworn to serve three years. The President, in his Message, asks the sanction of Congress to raise it to 400,000, and. as there is very little doubt that out of the 190,0013 required to fill the requisite complement fully 60,000 of the men engaged for three months' ser vice will volunteer into other regiments, it is quite probable that the required number of 400,000 wilt be provided within a few weeks.
