V iscount TORRINGTON presented a petition from th e a merch an t s an d planters of Ceylon, praying for the 13Nintment of a committee to inquire into and to re p or t 1, o p e ration th e a d u lt era ti on of coffee. In conquence of the r t ration of the present Treasury minute, the consurnp h4 of coffee had greatly decreased as compared with period when the mixture of, chicory with coffee was r 7 ° Eibited. The public were sufferers from the present reduction because they got an inferior article without any ec-tuetion in the price, and the trade had also great coe to com pl a i n o f it, as it prevented the honest trader The with the dishonest one. 'he Earl of ABERDEEN said there was great diffi tebolty in reconc ili ng th e i n terests of the revenue with n ° s , of the trader and consumer. Whatever ground f complaint the public might have, it was not I , Want of activity on the part of the Board of tl _,land Revenue because, during the last year there been 6,337 inspections by their officers, and 690 tpsecutions. So far from there being a falling o$ in c u : consumption owing to the existing regulations, the th sumption had increased for several years past, and in t , lB Year more than any other. He considered that as ( ir present system had worked well it ought not to be sturbed. (LEFT SPEIKING.) $- USE OF COMMONS—(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair shortly before four o'clock.

Lord RUSSO-DUTCH LOAN. -word DUDLEY STUART announced the terms of the :e!,,elution ch he intends to move next Tuesday on the ' 4 ,.iect of the Russo-Dutch loan. 1 1, 4 - LAYARD gave notice that on Thursday next he o 'n° ll l, d move a resolution to the effect, that it was the i!nion of this house that the language held by the First h PaiOter of the Crown in another place was calculated to 14 e grave doubts in the public mind as to the objects 4 ends of the war, and to lessen the prospects of an ho- TRADE WITH JAPAN. GREGSON asked the Lord President of the Conn i;` , 'whether any instructions have been , or , if not, will ill e t ransmitted to Sir John Bowring, or whether any steps be taken to obtain an opening for British commerce With Japan, on terms similar to those understood to be ' l ;anged with the United States of America. r ',°r( l J. RUSSELL replied that Sir J. Bawring had al -,,4"Y been instructed upon that point. LOSS OF THE EUROPA. 17 , 1 4 1: 1 t. SCOBELL asked the First Lord of the Admiralty h ether the Europa troop-ship sailed from England on r v9yage alone, or in company with any other vessel cr tr ansportl, :.—lf no such regulation is established , has the ?ard of Admiralty considered the propriety of arranging, Iran practicable, and as a precaution, that hereafter DO sport, with-troops on board, shall commence her voy ' g!,.to,a foreign station without a consort. h JAMES GRAHAM said the loss of the Europa t ,3 ( ' given rise to very serious reflections, and instruc ',4" had been issued by the Board of Admiralty to .Frohibit smoking between decks on board transports, ! ti li that additional precautions should be taken with teference to the' stowage of combustible articles, such t? oil and coal. Until he had read the notice of this ques -1?4, the consideration it Suggested had not occurred to his Zirld, but he thought it woiild not be prudent to hold out soldier s and sailors that the dangers of proceeding a cross the sea were such as to require that transports B .onld proceed with a consort. (Hear, hear.) EXAMINATION AT HAILEYBURY. HORSFALL asked the President of the Board of Control, whether any and what regulations have been they for the examination of candidates for admission to college at Haileybury; and how it is proposed that va- Z l t icies occurring between the 30th day of April last, when 'lute *ration of the'new system, shall be filled up. Sir C.- WOOD said the regulations which were being tared by a committeO, presided over to -da y by Mr • aulay, would be issued very shortly, TESTAMENTARY JURISDICTION BILL. Sir J. PAKINGTON asked the Lord President of the vouncil whether it is the intention of her Ma j est y 's Go vernment to proceed with the Testamentary Jurisdiction b and the Marriage and Divorce Bill ; and whether they intend to introduce, in the present session, a bill for ue improvement of the ecclesiastical courts in matters of .church discipline. Lord J. RUSSELL said it was the intention of the Go ternitent to proceed with the Testamenta r y Jurisdiction on gonday, the 3d of July, but as the Divorce Bill had not yet tome down from the Lords, he could not state dbe done with regard to that. It WU not tendedin to introduce a bill this session for the improvement °I Ecclesiastical Caurts in matters of church discipline. LORD DRUAIL ANRIG. OLIVERIA wished to ask the noble lord the Pre - eideat of the Council a quo ;Lion on 'a subject affecting the c haracter and position of a- membar of the house. (lieu, hear.) A case occurred yesterday in the uheriffs Court, from which it appeared that the noble lo r d the Comptroller of her Majesty's Household had bucked a prize fighter, named Johnny Walker, to fight another—Hayes—for 1,0001. a side, and he wished to ask the noble lord whether it was the intention the the Government to institute a n y in q uir y into "Ile subject, with the view of ascertaining whe ther a noble lord, having propensities of that charac ter—(laughter)—was the fittest person to be in constant Personal communication with her Dlajesty. (Hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL had seen the report of the case re ferred to, but so far as h 3 at present was informed he did WA think it necessary to institute any inquiry into the matter. (Hear.) EDUCATIONAL ESTIMATES. , Mr. COBDEN asked the noble lord when he proposed . 1 0 take the educational estimates ? • Lord J. RUSSELL replied—On Friday next (this day • Week) OXFORD UNIVERSITY BILL. On the order of the day for resuming the debate on the repo r t on this bill, The CHANCELLOR of tha EXCHEQUER moved the insertion of the names of the Earl of Harrowby and the 'ltight Honourable C. Cornewall Lewis as Commissioners. The motion was agreed to. Mr. MANGLES moved the omission of the name of the Iron. Sir J. T. Coleridge from the commissioners. He con tended that Sir J. T. Coleridge had given his concurrence to all the opinions of Dr. Newman ; and on the trial of • •Athilli v. Newman, Sir J. Coleridge, the judge who deli vered the judgment of the court, delivered a high pane gyric on the writings of Dr. Newman, and he maintained that the Government had gone out of their way to select . such a gentleman to be one of the Oxford Commissioners. The CHANCELLOR, of the EXCHEQUER said, that with respect to Mr. Justice Coleridge, the bon. gentleman spoke of it as if it was an analogy to an appointment of th a t learned judge by the Government. The wish of the Government was to place upon the commission the names of gentlemen approved by the University and the country. Re I elieved the bulk of the University lay between the tw o extremes of opinion, which characterised two parties in _it, and were not coloured b y those opinions, and he thought air. Justice Coleridge was highly respected by the large Majority of the university. With reference to the lan guage attributed by the hon. member to Mr. Justice Cole ridge, the hon. member oug ht in fairness to ha ve stated from w hat source ho derived that langeage, and be tithe Chancellor of the Exchequer) felt b ound to say, that ho • did not believe that Mr. Justice Coleridge had used the lmgnasce attributed to him. Mr. ° WALPOLE said the Government, and not the Rouse of Commons, must be considered as responsible for the appointment of the Oxford commissioners, and he must say, for himself, that the present commissioners were not altogether the gentlemen he should have selected, but at the same time, to'hvoid personal disquisitions of a most painful and disagreeable nature, he thought the house sho u ld acquiesce in the gist of couimissioners uamad by the Government, and as for Mr. Justice Coleridge, he believed that that learned judge was far above being swayed in the discharge of any duty imposed upon him, either by political, or party, or religious considerations, and there fcro ho trusted the house would not acquiesce in the mo tion of the hon. member (Mr. Mangles). Mr. IIORSMAN thought they must postpone personal considerations in such a matter as this to a grave public duty ; and be considered that in sending down a com misioner entrusted with high powers to Oxford, they must not forget that that gentleman had himself been • subjected to the gravest censure of the university. The lion, member entered at considerable length into the re ligious movement which has been going on at Oxford for the livet twenty ye er GOlngting Air, Juaticv Colo. _ _ _ ridge as having been prominently mixed up with that movement, and he thought that for this particular appoint ment there was such responsibility that the house ought not to shrink from the responsibility of rejecting this appointment. Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought that without dis cusiing the merits of individuals , t he list of commissioners selected by the Government showed a sincere wish to provide the best qualified men for that important duty. With re spect to Mr. Justice Coleridge no one disputed his probity or honour, and as for his high position as a judge and his taste for literature, he thought no valid objection could he made to him ; and be thought the question for the house to decide was, not the opinions of Mr. Justice Cole ridge, but whether the Government had made a selection of gentlemen qualified to fulfil their important duty. Mr. DRUMMOND supported the retention of the name of Mr. Justice Coleridge. The house was about to divide, when there were loud cries of " Agreed," and Mr. MANGLES said he would with draw his motion. The motion was then withdrawn, and the name of Sir J. T. Coleridge was added to the list of Commissioners. [LEFT SITTING.] THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.)

LETTERS FOR THE BALTIC, W HITE SEA, TURKEY, AND THE BLACK SEA. Tho following are the regulations under which the corre spondence for her Majesty's forces in the Baltic, in the White Sea, and in Turkey and the Black Sea is at present for warded : Mails for the Baltic fleet are made up in London every Tuesday evening, and are forwarded throtigh Belgium to Dautzic, where they arrive on Friday. Orders have been given that a steam-vessel shall be detached from the fleet, and sent to Dantzic weekly, to receive the mails from Eng land, to bring to that port the return mails,,for England, which, on arrival, are despatched to this country through Belgium. An officer's letter, not exceeding half an ounce in weight, sent by this route, is liable to a postage (British and foreign combined) of Bd. A seaman's or soldier's letter, not exceeding half an ounce in weight, forwarded by this route, is charged with a com bined British and foreign postage of sd. Upon both classes of letters the Postage must be paid in advance. Newspapers cannot be forwarded by the route of Dantzic, because, according to the arrangements with the Prussian Government, the Prussian postage upon Newspapers cannot be collected in this country. If, therefore, newspapers were sent by this route, they would be detained at Dantzic, until the postage due upon them to the Prussian Post-office was paid. The above is the speediest and most direct communication with the Baltic fleet : but there are other occasions, by means of Queen's ships or transports, when letters and newspapers can be forwarded. Mails are made up to be despatched by every vessel of war proceeding from England to the fleet, and the postage by such shipS is as follows For an officer's letter, not exceeding oz 6d For a seaman's or soldier's letter not exceeding A oz ld Newspapers are forwarded by vessels of war, or transports, free of postage. Letters, &c., for the Baltic fleet, should be addressed with the - name of the ship for which they are destined, and the fleet to which that ship belongs, without mentioning any port or town, thus— H. I. Ship -- Baltic Fleet." Mails for the army in Turkey, and for the fleet iu the Black Sea, are made up in London six times in each month, viz., the evenings of the 3d, Bth, 13th, 18th, 23d, and 28th or (when the month has 31 days) the 29th. These mails are forwarded, through France, to Marseilles, and are thence conveyed to Constantinople by the French Mail Packets in the Mediterranean. By the favour of the French Government, no higher charge is made for the conveyance of the Letters of British soldiers and Sailors than that which is levied on the correspondence of a French naval and military force. A letter, therefore, under a quarter of an oz. in weight, whether to or from an officer, a soldier or a seaman, is liable 'only to a combined British and foreign rate of 3d. If the letter weighs a quarter of au oz., and is under half an oz., the charge is 6d. ; if it, exceed half an oz., and does not exceed 1 oz., the charge is ls., and so on for heavier letters. The postage upon newspapers is two-pence each. The postage both upon letters and newspapers must be paid its advance. The above is the speediest and most direct communication with the fleet in the Black Sea,:and with her Majesty's Forces in Turkey ; but the letters of soldiers and seamen serving in Turkey and the Black Sea may also be forwarded to Malta, via Southampton, twice a mouth, viz., ou the morn- , lugs - of the 4th and 20th, for the sum of ld., under the usual regulations applicable to such letters. From Vella they are sent to their destinations as opportunities other, by a ship of war or -other vessel in the service of her Majesty, without any further charge.

CORN EXCHANGE. Fresh up to our market to-day, the arrivals of English wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, were on a very moderate scale. The show of samples was small, yet the demand was far from active. In prices scarcely any change took place. • The import of foreign wheat has amounted to 13,670 quarters. Selected samples sold at full currencies, but all other kinds met a slow sale, on former terms. Most floating cargoes were held at full prices, but the inquiry for them was by no means active. Grinding barley was steady, but so little was doing in other kinds, that the quotations were almost nominal. The malt trade was slow, on former terms. The arrivals were good. We were scantily supplied with oats, the sale for which ruled steady. In some instances the quotations had an upward tendency. Beans, peas, and flour sold at Monday's currency. English ..

Little Jack was struck out this afternoon at 2.30, and Baalbec at 2.ss—the latter in consequence of an objection being made by Mr. John Scott against Wood, who was en gaged to ride Daalhoc. It appeared that Wood had quitted Mr. Scott's service without notice, and that he went to Chester to ride without his leave. Augusta was restive at the post, and the start was delayed some time in consequence. At length the lot got off on very fair terms. Colsterdale started with the lead, but had scarcely proceeded 200 yards when Axwell rushed to the front, followed by Amalgamation, Bianca, Colstersdale, King ston, General Breeze, and Grapeshot, in the order named. At the Coal Pit turn Axwell and Amalga mation were in difficulties, and both retired quite beaten. Kingston, who had run into the third place before making the turn, was now left with the lead, and when just below the distance, " Kingston wins ! " Kingston wins !" was shouted enthusiastically on all s id e s ; he was, however, almost immediately joined by Hunca Munca, Grapeshot, and Aribbas. At the half distance he began to fail, and Grapeshot ran in a clever winner by a length ; Kingston beating Hunca Munca by the same distance ; a neck between third and fourth ; Bianca was a very good fifth, Jetty Treffz sixth, Axwell seventh, and Amalgamation eighth ; the pace was good throughout.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. In addition to the mail to be made up for the White Sea squadron this evening, via Hull, Chri:itiansand, and Wangoe, mails will also be made up at the General Post Office for the British army in Turkey, and the British fleet in the Black Sea, to be forwarded through France, and from Marseilles by French mail packet to Constan• The Volcano steam gun-vessel has been ordered for immediate service in the Baltic. She has been commi s . sioned by Commander Roberts, and yesterday the entry of the crew commenced at the naval rendezvous, Tower. hill. Advices were received yesterday at Lloyd's, that her Majesty's steamer Tribune, Capt. Carnegie, bound for the Black Sea, had been spoken, all well, on the 13th inst., in 36 N, 3 E. The Royal Albert, 131 guns, is to have a complement. of 1,000 men, including officers. Commander A. Littl67 was expected at Sheerness yesterday to commission this ship. When the Esk screw steain.sloop went down the river on Monday it was found that her engines, of 250 horse power, on tho oseilating direct -action principle, worked well, making GS revolutions per minute. She has been. since taken into the basin at Woolwich to be fitted with. all possible despatch for sea. The Wellington tlerd-rate guardship, of ordinary pro tent. at Sheerness was paid off yesterday, and her officers and crew officially transferred to the Formidable, 84' guns. They will remain hulked o:i board the Welling,. ton until the Formidable is ready to receive them. She is progressing slowly in her fitment, in consequence of all force being put on the Royal Albert to equip her. The Formidable has sent her topmasts on end, and with more assistance she can shortly be completed. Her fit ment is proceeding under the directions of Commander Josiah Thompson. The Hannibal, 90, new screw steamship, of 450 horses' power, Captain the Hon. Frederick W. Grey, slipped from her mooring s o ff F o ll y P o i n t , a t 8.30 a.m. yester• day, assisted by the Wildfire and Adder steamveseels. Steam was got up in Saltpan Reach. The steamvesselg having been cast off, she proceeded under her own steam. power, and in a short time left the Adder and Wildfire far in her rear. Her draught of water at the time was —aft 25 feet 5 inches, and forward 32 feet 1 inch. She proceeded on a trial of her machinery under pilot charge of Thomas Crafter, Queen's pil ot at Chatham. She passed the flag-ship Waterloo, 120, at the garrison point, at 10.30 a.m., rounded the Nore Light vessel at 10.43 a.m., and ran up Sea Reach, where she was turned by her helm within her own circle. Sho retu rne d again for the harbour, and repassed the flagship at 11.30 a.rn. Her rate of speed on this trial averaged over nine knots per hour, on distance run, making the usual allowance for the tides. She then proceeded to the moorings appro priated for her at Blackstakes, for the purpose of coal ing, taking in ammunition, shell, &c., and to adjust her compasses by swinging ship. The latter will commence as soon as she has completed her coaling of 500 tons. Her engines average 32 revolutions per minute, with a pressure of Plb. ; she was propelled by her new brass screw with a pitch of 11 feet 6 inches, in lieu of one of 12 feet 6- inches formerly fitted, which is now to be ap propriated as a spare one, and is most conveniently stowed immediately over the engine-room hatchway. On. the starting of her machinery it was found that some of the bearings which had been exposed to the transit of chain cables, cordage, and other stores of various de scriptions, had accumulated a quantity of dirt and rub bish ; they beca me h ea t e d f rom th e friction, but it was shorty obviated by the dirt working its way out. The machinery then acted admirably without the slightest de rangement. This ship is supplied with extra weights to increase the pressure to 161 b. on the square inch, instead of 121 b., as at present, whereby she will be enabled to work her steam more expansively, and by this produce a greater amount of power, with the same expenditure of fuel. The machinery was superintended during the trial by Mr. D. Partridge, of Woolwich dockyard. The engines were originally made by Messrs. Scott and Sin clair, and put into the Greenock, from which ship they were removed, and, after some alterations, fitted on. board by the engineering department at Woolwich yard. This ship numbers in crew at present about 470, clear of her officers. She has the electric telegraph from her poop, leading down into hsr engine room. There she has a large dial plate fitted up on the fore side of the after beam, with a conspicuous hand, under control of the electric wire, which hand indicates on the port side for movements a-head, as follows :—stop, slow, half speed, faster, full-speed, and it has a similar index in the starboard side for movements astern. Thus the engineer driving has the index immediately at all times before him. The loud ringing of a bell is caused by each elec tric communication from the poop. This electric com municator has been patented by Captain William Cris pin, of her Majesty's yacht Fairy, and was fitted by Mr. Alen, engineer, of London. The following appointments have been made : Lieutenant Hon. R. F. Boyle (1543), to command the Spy, 3, brigantine, commissioned this day at Chatham. Master William R. Madge (1832), to the Royal Al bert, screw steam-ship at Sheerness. Assistant Engineer of the third class Henry Paine, to the fleet. Masters' Assistants.—William Stewart, to the Han nibal, 91, screw steamship, at Chatham ; Charles J. Bigley, to the Gorgon, paddlewheel steam sloop ; Hugh 11. Ilanny, to the Monarch, &t ; Frederick Borne, to the Boscawen, 70 ; James J. Brunton, to the Colossus, scrc - v steamship, at Portsmouth ; James C. Thomas, to the Indefatigable, 50, at Devonport ; Jesse Dixon, to the Majestic, 80, screw steamship ; E. 11. C. Smith, to the Royal George, 120, screw steamship. Clerks.—B. B. French (1554), to the Colossus, 80, screw steamship ; Jonathan Mayne (1854), to the Vic tory flagship, at Portsmouth ; F. M. Duane, to the Royal Albert. Seamen continue to volunteer freely at Liverpool for the Royal Navy. On Wednesday evening 15 more were forwarded from that port to the ►metropolis. Yesterday the directors of the East India Company gave notice at Lloyd's that a ship was required to con vey 300 more troops from the river Thames to Calcutta. They are to embark between the 23d of July and the 4th of August. Yesterday the transport Arthur the Great, No. 28, in getting under weigh in the Downs, with troops and stores for the Black Sea, got into collision with the, Plaugh, of Whitby, earring away jibbom. It is ex pected that she will put back to Sheerness to make good the damage. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.-JUNE 22. ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE.

A general meeting of the members of the Royal Yacht Squadron will take place at the Squadron House on the 1::th of July. There are only three candidates for the honour of becoming members of the R.Y.S: at this meet ing. The great gathering is at the August meeting. THE NATIONAL FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY.—The beauti ful estate of Mill Hill, West Cowes, purchased for distri bution amongst the members of this institution, has been allotted out, and about 100 plots have been taken Tor build ing purposes. It is considered that there will be space for the erection of 300 villas, all commanding extensive-sea and land views. The whole is to be sewered at a depth of eight feet. The roads are finished in a most superior stylo, and the whole looks more like a nobleman's pnrk than the property of a "Mutual Benefit Building Society." The quantity of gravel of the very best quality, with which the estate abounds, has enabled the directors to construct such a set of roads as were never before seen here. MARINE VILLAS.—The splendid villas erected by Sir C. Fellows, on the Parade, has so thrown the Royal Yacht Squadron House adjoining into the shade, that the mem bers have, we hear, seriously made up their minds to build a new one. COWES CASTLE still continues untenanted, excepting by the housekeeper of the late Captain. Report says that it has been offered to Lord Raglan. It is most beautifully situated for a marine residence, but totally useless as a place of defence against an enemy. PARKHURST PRISON.--Three more lads of this esta blishment managed to break out of prison last night. The part that they were confined in is under repair, and those young rascals succeeded in getting out through the roof. They are about 17 years of age. One of them belongs to tg y o s o o m n e thus pre w ca i u th tio im ns p Portsmouth, and this is the secon d t i me that he has bro k e n s o h u o t u . ld S n u o rel u o n n i g t h y t . to it be is teaxkpecentea t b a t be they will try to get t o P ortsmouth from Ryde.

It was, however, to be regretted that the programme was not correctly carried out.
