The Earl of Fife (Trustees) Estate Bill was read a third time and passed. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS BILL. The Lords' amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to. MORTMAIN BILL. This bill was ordered to be committed this day three months. PORTLAND CHAPELS BILL. The Lords' amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to. RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT SECURITIES BILL. On the order of the day for resuming th• adjourned debate on this bill, Mr. T. BARING insisted that if the laws of the country were not sufficient to prevent trading and speculation in the securities of a Government with which we were at war, some general measure ought to be brought in by Ministers to remedy the defect, because, although this measure was only directed against Russia, it was just possible that in a short time we might be at war with Prussia, and who was to prop ose a measure which should apply to the securities S It was, therefore, clear that any change in the law must be based upon ge neral principles, applicable to all the world and not con fined to Russia alone; and as this bill being based on petty spite, did not go that length, he decidedly objected to going into committee upon it. With public opinion against it, there was not the least disposition amongst Englishmen to speculate in Russian securities; but if this bill passed, it would lead to impressions on the continent that without this specialenactment there would be, and, as a natural result, instead of depressing Russian securi ties, it would s rather tend to enhance their value in many of the capitals of Europe. Lord D. STUART supported the bill. It would be time enough to legislate in a similar spirit with regard to other countries when we had declared war against them. At present we were only at war with Russia, and it was enough, therefore, to direct the provisions at that power. Mr. WILSON remarked that if the real state of the financial affairs of Russia was known, it would go fur ther to reduce the value of her securities than any bill of this nature, even if it were adopted by all the Legis latures of Europe. Mr. ISAAC BUTT had heard nothing which should induce the house to refuse to go into committee on this bill. Mr. SrooNER and Mr. L. HEYWORTH supported the bill. Lord PALMERSTON said he should certainly sup port the bill, which was based upon the intelligible principle that British subjects should not be allowed to aid Russia with money. It was a childish absurdity to draw a distinction between directly lending money to Russia, which was high treason, and lending the same money indirectly. What the Secretary to the Treasury had said was perfect nonsense, and unless they passed this bill they ought to abolish the law of high treason. It was sheer nonsense to say that British subjects should be allowed indirectly to supply Russia with money, and those who could support such a principle must be pre pared to say the Dutch admiral was right, who, in the lull of an engagement, sold powder to his antagonist to enable him to renew the engagement. It was not right to set the interest of the pocket against the honour of the country. (Cheers.) It was not a pounds, shillings, and pence question, but a question of national honour, and no man who w .s not anxious to assist the enemy or avoid committing high treason could hesitate to vote for this bill. (Cheers.) Sir J. PAKINGTON asked how it had come to pass, then, if the bill was of so much importance, that it had not been brought forward by the Government. He was at a loss to understand how the noble lord could call that "sheer nonsense" which a member of the Govern. ment sitting near him supported ; but for his own p art he should vot e i n accordance with the expressed senti ments of the noble lord. Mr. KINNAIRD replied that the hands of , the Government had been full enough this session, without twitting them for not taking up this bill. Mr. DUNCAN thought the bill would interfere with the operations of commerce. Mr. HENLEY contended that if the act the bill dealt with was nothing short of high treason, the bill did not go far enough—the penalties it imposed were not sufficiently high ; but after the strong opinion the noble lord had expressed upon it, the Government could have no alternative but to take the responsibility of the measure upon themselves. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BROWN concurred in the views of Mr. Wilson, and protested that before they passed a measure of so much importance, they ought to have the opinion of the noble lord the member for the city of London upon it. He should therefore move that the committee be post poned until a future day. The house then divided, when there appeared— For going into committee Against it 24 day, 6 p.m..— Majority —s3 A person who arrived this day in Paris from Madrid, After the numbers had been declared, and which I believe he quitted on the 20th, states that Lord D.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was ready to give every explaoation. The committee was aware that the Excise-office had been removed from Bread-street to Somerset House, and this had rendered necessary the removal of their officers. Now, nothing could be more economical than the concentration of public offices, and the rite of Burlington House had been purchased for the purpose of coucentrating and ac commodating those departments, literary, artistic, scientific, and othmrwise, which would have to be dis turbed o: removed from Somerset House and other places, in consequences of the ehanges which had been made in the exercise in the Inland Revenue department of the Government. (Hear.) Mr. V. SMITH, Sir W. MOLESWORTH, and Mr. SPOONER, contributed to the discussion, which was continued up to a quarter to six o'clock, when the chairman quitted the chair. The house then resumed, and leave was given to the committee to sit again to-morrow. The other orders were then disposed of, and the house adjourned shortly before sir o'clock. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. CONSTANTINOPLE. July 13.—1 send you news of an unhappy encounter, which has resulted in the death of a young and promising commander. The circumstance may probably -be known in Eng land by some shorter route before it can be learned from here, but the following details. will no doubt be ac ceptable. The town or village of Sulina, at the mouth of the Danube, is almost surrounded by a jungle of reeds, where stockades had been formed for the defence of the place by the enemy. These reeds are so high that they conceal both men and horses from the view of any one ascending the stream by a boat, and furnish great facili ties for a stubborn and wily enemy to harrass troops whom be is unable to meet in the field. After the capture of Sulina last month, it was thought that the Russians had entirely left the vicinity, and a degree of confidence or negligence was inspired, which has termi nated most unfortunately. It appears that so far from the enemy having abandoned the neighbourhood, they have never ceased to occupy the jungle which lines the banks of the river, and have waited for their opportu nity to revenge the off-hand capture of this important point. On Friday, the 7th of this month, Captain Parker, of the Firebrand, was ascending the river in his gig, and at some distance behind was another boat of the same vessel, and Capt. Powell, ofthe Vesuvius, in a third The excursion seems to have been entirely unconnected with any warlike object,and so completely was the pre sence of an enemy unanticipated ithatqlie Chaplain and Surgeon of the Firebrand were in the boat with their captain. As,the first boat came abreast of a stockade, supposed to have been long deserted, a shower of mus ket balls were poured in from an unseen enemy. No one was struck ; but a ball passed through the surgeon's coat, and one or two others narrowly escaped. The boat immediately put back to obtain the assistance of the others, and Capt. Parker and his companions were dis posed to treat the matter very lightly, laughing at the Russians for not being better shots. Capt. Powell with the other boats came up almost immediately; the sailers rowed for the stockade, and Capt. Parker sprung on shore to lead the attack. He had made but a few steps when he was struck through the heart with a musket ball and fell dead. Capt. Powell then took the com mand, and in a few minutes had driven the enemy from their stronghold. The Russians however made a brave resistance. An eye-witness declares that the only two of the enemy to be seen at first were a couple of offi cers, who stood calmly at the embrasures of the stock ade and were picked off by the English sailors, while directing their men where to fire. Indeed, the accounts of all our encounters with the Russians mention the same fact, of the devotion and bravery of the Musco vite officers, who literally drag on their men by the collar, or force them into fire with the points of their swords. The Russians seem in this respect to be exactly the opposite of their Turkish opponents; in the Ottoman army the common soldiers are distinguished by the fanaticism and desperation of tbeir attack, while the officers are be wildered with fear and responsibility. Thecontrist teaches a kind of lesson, and shows that the Turkish resistance is that living national principle which inspired the Spaniards at Saragossa, and the Transteverini at Rome ; while the Russians are actuated only by the prompting of military honour, a feeling seldom shared in by the private soldiers, who can rise to no high rank, and must have a deeper feeling to incite them to acts of courage. The unfortunate commander who fell in this affair was one of the youngest post-captains in the navy : he had, it is said, just completed his 29th year. He was the son of Admiral Hyde Parker, late one of the Lords of the Admiralty. Belonging to a family long distinguished in the naval annals of this country, he gave promise of equalling any of his race in services to his country. So small ha.: been the actual amount of fighting which has taken place during the war that the death of a single officer creates a sensation, which old men, accus tomed to the bloody bulletins of former days, perhaps, scarcely understand. THE BATTLE AT GIURGEVO. VIENNA, July 22.—The most important news from the seat of war is that which was forwarded this morn ing by electric telegraph. According to a despatch of the 21st from Hermannstadt an engagement, which took place between Frateschti and Giur gevo on the 19th, ended in the total defeat of the Russians. The death of two Russian Generals was announced, but there is some reason to doubt whether this is strictly correct. The Turks have not in any way molested the inhabitants of Giur gevo. Omar Pasha' has, in the name of the Sultan, proclaimed a general amnesty for the Wallacsians who have been engaged in the present war against the Porte. On the 15th, a deputation of Boyards, from Little Wal lachia, passed through Widdin on their way to Giur gevo. Their mission is to present a document to Omar Pasha, in which the whole population of the province offers homage to the Sultan. The Turkish Marshal has promised to endeavour to obtain from the Porte some assistance for the inhabitants of Giurgevo, whose houses have been completeiy destroyed. Before the Cossacks quitted the place they set some magazines containing munitions of war and corn on fire, but the Turks in a few cases succeeded in extinguishing the flames. The Presse has a letter of the 18th from Belgrade, which confirms a piece of information which was given a few days since. The main Turkish army is advancing to wards the mouths of the Danube, where the crews of the steamers are busily employed in taking soundings. The same writer says " General Count Coronini, with a numerous suite, went down the river in a steamer to day." In Varna, two vessels with dredging machines are being prepared, with which the mouths of the river are to be made practicable. Several small steamers are also collecting at Varna, and with them it is intended, at some future timeto undertakeoperations against the Rus sian flotilla in the Danube. According to advices of the 13th of July, from Galatz, the Turks, under Mehemed Pasha, have occupied the road between Hirsova and Babadagh. A great number of pontoons, which have been lying at Shumla, are said to be following the Turkish army through the Dobradscha. The Premden Blatt has learned from Bucharest that the Russians wounded at Giurgevo and Flateschti are in a sad condition, the me dicsl men, apothecaries, and medicines having been sent to Jassy before the Turks crossed the river. The troops, which were obliged to advance in forced marches to Giurgevo, also suffered greatly. The men walked in eight hours from Maja to Bucharest, and after resting a few hours at Collentina they were obliged to march (about 45 English mile , ) to Giurgevo. During the whole time the men had nothing to eat but biscuit. It is not known what fluids the poor wretches had with them, but we are informed that the thermometer showed 77 dogs. Fahrenheit. Tne Akerman politicians are getting excesaively nervous, as you will perceive by the following plan of operations which tilts , have drawn up for the Aides. The combined fleets will make feigned attacks on Sebastopol and the Crimea ; but their real object will be to destroy the fortifications at the mouths of the Dniester, " which are not very strong." In their operations they will be assisted by the Turkish army which is advancing through the Dobrudscha, and by the steamers which will enter the Danube and attack Ismail. The fortifications of Akerman are continually strengthened, and the garrison reinforced by troops sent by water from Bender. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, July 25.—A decline, in one week, of ten shillings per quarter in the price of wheat, following so large a previous fall, has exercised, as it was sure to do, a cheering influence upon the whole of our market to-day. Speaking generally, we may say that the medium and lower courts of yarns are more saleable now at the full prices of last week than they were then ; and for some kinds an advance of id per lb. up on those quotations is required and obtained. This is the case with pincops pretty generally, and 24's to 32's warps. Some number of doubled, also, are inclining upward. The home manufacturers and the continental mer chants are the princip d buyers ; and their operations appear to have reached a fair aggregate amount. HALIFAX, July 22.- -There has been scarcely any in quiry for worsted goods of any description in our Piece Hall to-day, and the sales have been very limited.

The honourable member entered into a detail of the circum stances of the case as they had transpired at the Bow street Police-court; and having visited the unfortunate doctor in one of the cells of the court, the hon. member said he could support the complaint as to the bad condi tion of those cells. They wera alike a disgrace to the magistrate who, as it were, presided over them, and the public, who paid for them. The proceedings at the police court in reference to this case were of a most arbitrary and unconstitutional character, for they were conducted in secret, and the unfortunate doctor was committed to Han well upon the certificate of two Government officials, with out any chance of obtaining his liberation. Had these pro ceedings taken place in Naples, the press would have teemed with complaints about it, and since the case in volved the liberty of the subject, he had a right to de mand some explanation of the matter. The lunacy law and lunatic asylums were made a vehicle for frittering away the principles of theconstitution, and he hoperlnext session there would be a searching inquiry into the whole subject. Lord PALMERSTON said there was no doubt that this unfortunate gentleman had for some years laboured under fits of insanity. His particular delusion was that he had large claims upon the State, and for the purpose of enforcing his supposed claims, he had perseveringly endeavoured to intrude himself into the presence of the Sovereign. Under these circumstances he was confined in a lunatic asylum ; but supposing he had recovered full possession of his faculties, the Home Office consented to his liberation ; but no sooner d id he regain his liberty than he resorted to his former proceeding of trying to force himself into Buckingham Palace. He was accord ingly given into custody and conveyed to Bow-street po lice station, where he underwent an examination, and eventually, upon proper evidence, ho was sent to Han well as a confirmed monomaniac. The noble lord justi fied the whole proceedings, and contended that it was necessary for the good of the State and the safety of the Sovereign that they should be taken in all there cases. At the same time, if a sufficient security in some way could be given that the misconduct should not be re peated, he should be happy to order the liberation of this unfortunate person, with regard to whom nothing bad been done which was in anyway contrary to the law. Mr. HENLEY, without going into the merits of this case, which he believed reflected no discredit on the noble lord, argued that the lunacy law required amend ment, so as to prevent persons from being locked up against their will, except upon competent authority and after the fullest public examination. Sir J. V. SHELLEY was glad to hear from the noble lord that steps would be taken to render the black-holes attached to the Metropolitan Police-courts more fit for the reception of human beings. (Hear, hear.) The subject then dropped. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. Sir G. B. PECHELL wished to inquire what regula tions had been made for the payment of the wages due to the representatives of the officers and seamen of her Majesty's ships Erebus and Terror. Sir J. GRAHAM said these ships not having been beard of for more than nine years, it was concluded that they were lost, and the Admiralty, upon proper evidence, and receiving proper security for refunding the money in the event of the ships turning up, had uirected the ar rears of nine years' pay to be paid over to the represen tatives of the officers and men. There were 24 officers and 102 seamen attached to these ships, and of these numbers nineteen representatives of the first class and 88 of the second had claimed and obtained the pay. After a few words from Captain SCOBELL and Sir J. TROLLOPE, the subject dropped, and the house went into a committe of SUPPLY. The vote of 25,0001., to supply the deficiency in the Admiralty Fee and Rentes Funds. occasioned by the de falcation of the late. Registrar of the Court, gave rise to considerable discussion, but it was ultimately agreed to without a division. A vote of 45,0001. to defray the expenses of claims arising out of the abandonment of the Orange River Territory was agreed to, after a short conversation. On the vote of 2,0001. for the Lawson °observatory at Nottingham, Lord SEY MOUR objected to vote money for a local purpose of this kind. This Observatory might prove a benefit to Nottingham, but it would confer no national advantage, and rather than call upon the State to con tribute this money, the locality should raise it. (Hear, hear.) Besides, the value of the instruments in this Observatory had been considerably overrated. (Hear.) Mr. E. DENISON was bound to admit that the Astronomer-Royal had given an opinion that this obser vatory would not contribute to the advancement of science generally, while a discredit had been thrown upon the estimated value of the instruments ; and feeling that if the local subscriptions were to be asked over again they would not be granted until the latter point was cleared up, he should be glad to know if the Government could furnish him with any information upon the point. He believed the instruments were not worth the sum they had been valued at, but he understood the Government had instituted an inquiry into the matter, and he should be glad to know what was the result of that inquiry ? Mr, WILSON entered into an explanation of the circumstances which had induced the Goverment to propose, this vote. They were told that while the instru ments were worth 10,0001. the locality was prepared to subscribe towards the establishment of the observatory, and as upon inquiry it was found that the observatory would confer great public advantage in promoting agri cultural science the Treasury consented to propose this grant. Of course, however, that undertaking wasgiven up on the uaderstanding that the instruments were worth 10,000/. ; but it now appeared that they were not of that value and he must therefore withdraw the vote. 1 all , 51 1.1 is 17i all 10 1 2/ 2s 1 00 100 1.00 100 21 2..41 all 16, lOU 8 100 dis 74 1 131 554 k hsrdeen ...

From the report of the directors to be submitted to the meeting of proprietors in Manchester on the 2d Aug., it appears that the half•year shows a total receipt of 237.0221., a total expenditure of 144,5221., leaving, with 3,1021., from the last half-year, 95,6u21. available for interest and dividend. This sum will pay the debenture interest, the carat annuities, and the current half year's dividend on the 61. Rhares, leaving a balance of 8,7921. The attenti in of the directors continues to be directed to a reduction of expenses, so far as may be consistent with efficiency. In the locomotive department various changes are being introd•iced, which the directors hope will ensure a smaller per centage expenditure. The di rectors have consolidated the accounts of the company, under the charge of Mr. R. G. Underdown, appointed chief accountant. The question of economising the per manent way expenditure, and of completing with the least possible delay, all works in pro,L;ress on capital account, has not escaped attention. The traffic receipts for the halt-year ending 30th June, 1853 and 1854 show an increase of 19,1641. in favour of the latter, notwith standing the great loss caused by the war, and the de ficient harvest of last year. Under these circumstances, the directors consider the traffic receipts as far from unsatisfactory. As regards the financial position of the company, a portion of the loans falling due on the Ist January, 1855, has been renewed on favourable terms. The directors have before them important negotiations, having for their object the security of the company's ter ritorial position, the increase of its share of through traffic, and a saving of that duplication of expense which all competition of route more or less involves. Should these negotiations end successfully they will be duly laid before the proprietors fur consideration at a special meeting. NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE RAILWAY. The report of the directors, to be submitted to the half-yearly meeting of the company on the 27th inst , states that the recommendation of the arbitrators ap pointed to settle the differences between the London and North-Western and the North Staffordshire Companies is now in force in a modified form, and although the committee of the House of Ci.mmons have with held their consent to the preamble of the bill for which application was made, the systems of the two com panies are combined by mutual agreement, and the work ing arrangements are carried out iu the same manner as if the amalgamation had been completed by act of Parliament. It is the intention of both companies to prosecute the amalgamation bill in the next session of Parliament. Meantime the independent traffic of the line is such, that the directors have no hesitation in con firming the opinion previously expressed by the chair man, that the amount of dividend specified in the circu lar of the 25th of May, is secured to the proprietary from its own resources. The traffic receipts for the half-year ending June 30, 1854, including receipts under agree ment with the London and North Western Company, and the rents of houses, land, and sidings, have been 112.0281. 16s. 10d., from which, deducting 5,0001. tolls due to other lines, and 48,941/. ls. 9d. fur the working expenses of the half year, there remains a balance car ied to the general revenue account of 58,0861. 4s. 9d. The canal net profit on the half-year has been 38,8731. lls. 2d. The total receipts carried to general revenue amounted to 98,2791. 15s. 11d. available for interest on debenture debt and dividend on capital and share capital. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.
