Dr. Rae says that it was not until the end of May that he received information on the point that he was at one time within 50 miles of the locality where the Esquimaux stated the dead bodies of our countrymen had been 'found. Now, in his official despatch he writes under the date of April 21 : "We were met by a very intelligent Esquimaux. This man was very communicative, and, on putting to him the usual questions as to his having seen white men before, or any ships or boats, he replied in the negative, but said that a party of Kabloomans had died of starvation a long distance to the west of where we then were, and beyond a large river. The substance of the information then and subsequently obtained from various sources was to the fol lowing effect." Dr. Rae then proceeds to narrate the catastrophe, and that there may be no doubt as to his having learned the intelligence thus early, he says, in a subsequent part of his despatch, under date of May 21 : It was from this time until August that I had oppor tunities of questioning the Esquimaux regarding the in formation I had already obtained of the party of whites who had perished of starvation." It would be easy to add more to prove, by Dr. Rae's despatches and track chart, that he was in possession of the above information when he was, as Lord Wrottesley justly said, within 50 miles of the spot where the reported catas trophe occurred; but the foregoing extracts are abun dantly sufficient to enable the public to form an equitable judgment respecting Dr. Rae's lame attempt to justify himself.—l am, Sir, your humble servant, July VEAITAS. 23. • From the above tabular statement it appears that the vital loKes and expenses have averaged on the net premium receipts, &0., ;36.41 per cent. ; including dividends, 109.64 per cent."

Sir J. GRAHAM asked if the letter dated 21st June was the first communication received from the Bishop of Durham, with reference to the amount of retiring allowance, and whether their letter was not the ultima tum that passed between the Government and the bishop. He understood there were repeated communications be tween them, and that a larger sum was asked by the bishop. Lord PALMERSTON said, he first heard of the Bishop of Durham's wish to resign in the autum. After that he was informed the right rev. prelate did not wish to resign, and the matter dropped. After that he had a ♦erbal communication from the bishop, and the first intimation in writing relative to the allowance was contained in the letter referred to. Sir J. SHELLEY said that with reference to the Bishop of London he was enabled to state that the only proposition ever made by him was contained in the pub lished correspondence. Mr. E. DENISON objected to the introduction of the words. It would be impossible to make this a general measure, and if they admitted the words, difficulties at every stage. Mr. Henley did not consider these words would have the effect of making the measure a general one, or would compel alteration in the other clauseS of the bill. Mr. GLADSTONE said that was so. What he wanted to do was to make the Law of Resignation gene ral. This bill did not propose to authorise resignation' but to allow it, and the alteration he proposed would remove any doubts that might hereafter arise in regard to filling up 'a bishoprick under this bill. Mr. NAPIER having addressed a few remarks to the committee, when The SOLICITOR-GENERAL addressed the com mittee at some length, intbe course of which he contended that the charge of simony did not apply to the arrangement under consideration, and it was to be regretted it should have been introduced into the debate. Any person con versant with the law and ecclesiastical history must be aware that what was now proposed was in strict con ' fermity with the law of the Church, and with the muni cipal and conventional law on the subject of simony.

THE MO DEMENTS IN BREAD STUFFS. In April last, when the preliminaries of peace in Ea rope had been established, and the reopening of the State canals was at hand, operators in breadstuffs began to lose confidence in the stability cf prices. It was known that there were laige supplies in the interior to come forward, and it was thought by really persons that supplies would be obtained, to a greater or less extent, from the ports of the Black Sea. It was also reported that there was a glut of receipts at Marseilles, in France. Withal, too, the spring weather opened well in France and England, and was considered highly favourable for the coming crops. Under those circumstances, prices by the first of May reached a low point, and were de stined to reach a lower range before the Ist of June, and he was a bold operator who shipped flour and grain abroad under the appearance of such odds. Yet there were some who continued to export. It soon became evi dent that the supplies in England and France were less than was supposed,that they would be compelled to aug ment their stocks before the, advent of harvest, let the weather be as it might. It was also discovered that the expected supplies from the Black Sea were not to be had, and that the United States contained the only granaries from which they could freely obtain them. These cir cumstances strengthened !prices a,troad early in June, and produced a corresponding effect here. The recent arriva!s from Europe have added to these general unfa vourable prospects for low prices. The news of heavy injury to crops in France from the late inundations, and of unfavourable weather in England, has produced con siderable excitement in breadstuffs in this market and an enhancement of prices. Fortunately for us wo have ample supplies with which to meet this increased demand. The receipts of flour for only the past week, from the interior, ending Saturday, July 5, amounted to 81,000 barrels of flour, about 470,000 bushels of wheat, and 400,000 bushels of corn. The total receipts since Sept. 1, 1855, have been 2,364,378 barrels of flour, 5,311,775 bushels of wheat, and 4,126,066 of corn. To these re ceipts should be added large supplies from the Southern ' States, including from East Tenneesee alone over 500,000 bushels of wheat. For some time past the exports of wheat to Great Britain have greatly exceeded those of flour, the English preferring to do their own milting. Notwithstanding this, the exports of flour have also been large. The exports f wheat within two or three weeks ' past have probably reached over a million bushels. Within the past week alone the shipments of wheat have exceeded 500,000 bushels, about 100,000 of which were taken on Saturday, and about 100,000 more were engaged on Monday, the 7th inst. It is difficult to say how much remains in the country to come forward, bat it is probable that it may be nearly equal to the demand until the new crop conies in, which is said to promise a large yield and of good quality. Should the crops in England and France fall much below an average, we may expect prices to continue remunerative for our incoming crops. The recent large sales of bread stuffs for Europe are auspicious for the country. Usually at this period of the year, when breadstuffs are low and dull, and cotton shipments are measurably over, we have little for export beyond specie, which, on the advance of sterling exchange, is freely drawn. Now, everything seems to work favourably. A. large crop of cotton has been sold at high prices, and in what are ge nerally the dull summer months we find a large demand for breadstuffs and provisions at advancing prices. All this must have its effect upon the general prosperity of the country. The heavy exports of grain and flour going on must supply considerable amounts of sterling ex change, and tend to check the shipments of specie. It will be perceived that the chief rise in prices has been realised on the common and medium grades, which have formed the. bulk of the supplies. The stock of extra brands, from the scarcity of prime and choice wheat, has been limited throughout the season, and mostly taken for home consumption. Hence, for this description of flour prices have not varied so much, and were even higher on the 31st of May, in some cases, than they are now. Our exports of wheat and corn would both be much larger could cargoes of good qualities have reached us to a greater extent and in good shipping order. An un usual proportion of Western corn has conic to market this season wet or heated, and had to be sold at low figures for either distilling or short voyages to Eastern States' ports. Prime to choice white Southern, most saleable in Liver pool, has, in a measure, been exhausted, and ceases almost to appear in market. Yellow also is scarce. The Upper Lake and Western mixed and red grades of wheat from that part of the country have been in excess of supply, compared with the stock of prime white and red Southern and Canadian, and prices have varied accord ingly. No supplies of the now growth have reached market sufficiently dry or in sufficient quantities yet to justify shipment ; but it must soon reach us in large amount and enter freely into domestic use. On the 3d inst. 2,000 bushels of new Georgia grown wheat was at Augusta, en route for the seaboard and a market.— New York Herald. THE CAMP AT ALDERSHOT. The military inquiry into the causes which led to the dangerous quarrel between the 2d German Jagers and the men of the 41st and 93d Regiments terminated on Tuesday at Aldershot. The decision at which the court arrived is, therefore, still unknown. We are glad, how ever, to hear that the German officers, taking into consideration that such another outbreak could not occur again, and that it was the wish to conciliate the English troops as much as possible, refrained from brirging any charges against the regiments from which the men of their own corps bad sus tamed such serious injuries. The good sense and good feeling of this course must be obvious to our readers, and we are iuformed by many English officers who witnessed the affray that, bad the Germans pressed the charges, the military board must have severely censured the con duct of several of the English corps concerned in it. This conciliatory plan has also produced a very good effect in camp, and without at all acknowledging on whose side lay the fault of beisinning the disturbance, the English are quite willing to admit their regret that when it bad begun they pushed their victory over the Germans t )o far and committed many acts of unjustifiable violence and even cruelty. When one side thus forgave an injury and the other regretted it, the best thing that can be done is to let the whole matter rest as it is, and the witnesses before the military board appeared quite of this opinion. The wounded Germans "declined" to recognise any of the English soldiers under arrest for assaulting them, while the Enlist', on the ct ier hand, "could not say" who was in the wrong. or at most that both parties were equally so. The inquiry therefore soon ended, but as we have said its de4 cision will not be made known till early next week. If its tenour should be pacificatory and likely to soothe down whatever little ill feeling may still exist between the German and English troops, we shall lay it before our readers. The investigation of the board of inquiry elicited beyond all doubt that the affray was begun between a German and a wan of the 933, set together by the ears by one of the abandoned women who now infest the country round Aldershot. There was nothing to surprise in the affray having such an origin ; on the contrary, it was, just what might have been expected from a crowd of drunken soldiers, English and German, mixed up with many of the lowest and mos t degraded of prostitutes. We merely mention the circumstance in order that our readers may know the kind of discipline which is tole rated among the troops at Aldershot. All round the camp the worst and vilest of a bad class of women abound. Everywhere are they to be met either " squatting" like gipsies in the fir woods round about Aldershot, staggering drunk along the roads with the soldiers, or, worse than all, crowding the regimental canteens. The Rifles occupy the tents under which the Ist Jagera lived until sent to Colchester. We confess to being among the number of those who look to the condition of a regimental camp as affording an infallible index to the discipline of the regiment. Judging by this standard, we have little hesitation in saying that the let Jagers must have been a most orderly and well-conducted corps. The condition in which they have left their tamp is quite an example to the other troops. Though hey had not been under canvas more than three weeks, each tent was surrounded with a little garden, in which transplanted woodbine, foxglove, purple and yellow heath, flowered abundantly. The paths between the tents were named Cambridge-street, Princess Royal. street, Prince of Walecestreet, and so on through the Royal family, while all th e p aths were bordered with a kind of Mosaic work of flints set in the gravel in innu merable designs. The English Rifles have always, both at Chobham and in the 'East, enjoyed a high reputa tion for the cleanliness and good order of their canton ments. It will require all their neatness to improve upon the designs which the Jagers, during their short tenure of the camp, carried into effect. The 93d highlanders left camp yesterday, en route to Shorneliffe. The 4th Regiment, if all the accounts which reach us are true, seem to want the care of a smart disciplinarian. The camp abounds with rumours as to the intention of the Queen to inspect the newly-arrived Crimean troops this week. As yet there is no foundation for the rumour, and we believe that at the earliest her Majesty will not visit the camp before next Tuesday. The two German battalions of light infantry, which yesterday arrived from Scutari, will not move to Alder shot. At present they will encamp on Browndown, near Portsmouth, and from thence we believe proceed to Colchester. —Morning paper.

THE COLLISION IN THE MERSEY BETWEEN THE MAIL AND EICELSIOR.—LIVERPOOL, Wednesday.—The in veitigation into the causes of the unfortunate collision in the river between the screw steam-ships Mail and Excel sior was resumed this morning, in the Nisi Prins Court, St. George's Hall, before H. Stratham, Esq., deputy coroner, Mr. P. F. Curry, the coroner, being still too ill to conduct it. The witnesses examined were the look-out man, the lamplighter, and the eneineer of the Mail. The evidence threw very little additional light upon the cause of the collision, and was of little com parative importance. The look•outman stated that be reported the Excelsior coming down the Mersey half an hour before the collision, and added that she never ap peared to change her course during that period. The lamplighter of the Mail, in answer to some questions re garcting the position of the lamps of the Mail and of the stanchions, stated, as his opinion, that the former could not be obscured by the latter ; that the light could be seen, he believed, a mile off, notwithstanding that the stanchions were immediately before them ; but would not say they could be plainly discerned half-a-mile off. The inquest was adjourned at 3.30 p.m. until to-morrow morning, at ten o'clock, when the evidence on behalf of the Excelsior will be gone into. t
