The Lords Commissioners were, the Lord Chancellor, Lord Stanley of Alderley, and Lord Canning. Petitions in favour of closing public-houses on Sundays were presented by Lorl VIVIAN and Earl of HARBOWBY. MAYNOOTH COMMISSION. In reply to Lord DONOUGHMORE, The Earl of HARROWBY said the evidence received by the commission appointed to conduct an inquiry w ith 'regard to the College of Maynooth, had been comp leted, . and would soon be laid on the table of the house. There were, however, some foreign documents which it was ne cessary to translate and print in report ; they relate dtothe education of ecclesiastics in Roman Catholic countries, es ssrand having only first come into possession of the com missioners, they had not yet had time to tak e them into c onsideration. He was afraid that in consequence of the -law courts in Dublin now sitting , he would be un- '. .te able to obtain-the attendance of some of his colleagues in Ireland until August next. MISCELLANEOUS ESTIMATES. The Earl of ELLENBOROTIGH moved for further re , turns as to the miscellaneous estimates from 1838 to 1853. The noble earl observed that, as we were now engaged in what he believed would be a pro longed war,, it was necessary to take a review Of - our expenditure in fOrmer years, in order to see in wh a t way our present expenditure could be econo mised- The excess of charge in the last year over the charge of 1838, he found was no less than 2 256, 000/. It was, however, necessary to deduct f rom that sum 77 5 , 0001 . for items or public works and other purposes, which had only lately become chargeable on the estimates ; and, after making such deductions, the net excess in the last year would amount to 1,480,0001. In the salaries of public officers there was an increase of 179,0001. as compared with 1838, and for education an increase of 362,0001., though in 1853 629,0001. more was spent in prisons and transportation than in 1833. He next referred to the estimates of 1854 in detail, stating the net increase over 1853 to be 382, 000/., whilst, compared with 1838, it amounted to no less a sum than 1,862,0001. These were circumstances, he contended, that deserved the grave consideration of the Government, at a moment When we hadjust embarked upon a long and costly war; for the excesses in the present year, which might have been avoided, would, if devoted to the provision of gun boats and military stores, have given us the uncontrolled command of the Sea of Azoff, the Black Sea, and the Baltic, and have enabled us to bring th e war to a speedy and victorious issue. The Duke of NEWCASTLE complained, with some warmth, of the course taken by the noble. earl in having, under colour of moving for additional returns, made an elaborate and studied attack upon the Government. Coming unexpectedly upon him, he could not, off-hand, reply in detail to the numerous statements which had been made ; to do so, indeed, a select committee should . be appointed ; but he could assert that most of the ad ditions of which complaint had been made had been caused by the necessity of the particular years, whilst, as to the rest, they were owing to transfers of charge and changes in the form under which the estimates had been presented to Parliament. He specifically vindi I:u. - .ever, the additional expenditure under the heals of edx_:ation, art, the census, and, some others ; . and, with regard to the Houses-of Parliament, said the - Government were not responsible for their additional co t.; Parliament alone was responsible for the addi tional charges under this head, and not Chancellors of the Exchequer or First Lords of the Treasury. In re spect to the csi;iniais of the present year, he admitted there had been a considerable increase ; but he assured the house that economy bad been consulted as far as possible. He should, however, be deceiving their lord ' ships if he led them to anticipate in future years any diminution in the amount of the miscellaneous estimates. Assenting to the motion, lie begged the house, under the circumstances, not to consider that he had given to the observations of Vie noble earl all the answer of which the subject was capable ; but he begged to add that if upon any future occasion the noble earl choose to revive the discussion, and give formal notice of his intention, the Government would be prepared to answer him in the utmost detail. L-rd BROUGHAM said he had seldom seen a Minister of State placed in a situation of greater euliy by a sudden, though not an unprepared, attack than the noble duke ; and he had certainly never seen any Minister extricate himself from attack with more admiraLle skill and ability. For his own part, he pro tested against the conclusions which the noble earl appeared to have drawn on the subject of national education. The Duke of ARGYLL vindicated the charges in curred for education and practical art, and said they bad been attended with the greatest advantage to the manufactures and commerce of the country. He ob jected, however, to the whole spirit of the noble earl's speech, because it appeared to be founded on opposition to all expenditure for the purposes of peace and civilisa tion, and a preference of expenditure for the purposes of war. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH having replied, the motion was agreed to. The Wilnesses Bill passed through committee. The Customs Duties Bill was read the second time. The High Treason (Ireland) Bill was read the third time and passed. The Excise Duties Bill passed through committee.— Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS-(YESTERDAY.)

Colonel BLAIR presented a petition from a place in S7,ottand against the Manses and Glebes Bill. VALUATION OF LAND (SCOTLAND) BILL. The Iton'se went into committee on this big. The details gave rise to considerable discussion ; but they were of no general interet whatever, except to the distant part of the country to which the measure relates. The Chairman reported progress before 3 o'clock, at which the house adjourned until 5 o'clock, The house resumed at 5 o'clock. •ROYAL COMMISSION. Mr. PULDIAN, the Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod, appeared at the table, and summoned the house to attenctat- the bar of the Peers, to hear the Royal as sent given by, commission to several public and private acts, for which see Lords' report. PETITIONS. Petitions were presented by Mr. BECKETT in favour of a Ten Hours' Factory Bill ; Mr. SMITH, and other Hon. Members, praying for the Abolition of Church Rates ; Mr. COBBETT (27) from places in Lancashire in favour of a Ten'Hours' Bill ; Mr. V. SMITH from Vis count ABBINGTONJ praying the house to disfranchise certain eltctors ofßarnstaple ; Mr. TOLLEMACHE, from various places in Cheshire, in . favour of a Ten Hours' Bill ; Sir JAMES GRAHAM, from the Mayor and Cor 'Poration of Carlisle, against the Consolidation of County and Town Pvlice Lill ; Mr. Loma Kirro, from Surrey, p r aying for th e a b o li t i on of Church Rates ; and Sir 11'1317:ROY , KEYr4, , against, the consolidation of th e Police Mr. MTSIT LI DATIO.7 OF POLICE - BILL. asked the' noble lord the Secretary of State whether belintended to move the second reading of this bill on brio Lord PA.LaataYO,,T, hat it would depen i ,„, - - •°Ped he should be able to do so, friend the President rti the arrangements of his noble Arr.

Lord PALMERSTON promise cept at a time when there would b l e wimple .on, ex- discussion. S i r H.WILLOUGHBY asked the noble PPortunity for amount of estimate or calculation has been madeelthe lord if any charge to bo imposed on the counties of Wales by the police rate under the Police .13i11 1844 ., and any estimate or calculat ion has been ma de , whether he and and if will place the same upon the table of the house. Lord PALMERSTON said no calculation had been made of the expense to be incurred, and for this reason h e was of opinion that on the whole a good system of p o li o , was an economy to a county, as it saved money in the pr e vention of plunder and criminal proceedings. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY asked the noble lord if he had any objection to lay upon the table an estimate of the pre sent cost of the.connty police. Lord FALNIENSTON thought there would be no ob jection to such a return if the hon. bart. would move for it. SLIGO ELECTION. Colonel BLAIR inoVed that a copy of the evidence taken bpicro the last Sligo Election Committee be laid before the hen in. Mr VERNON SMITH opposed the motion, as being brought for war d i n an i rregu l ar mann er, an d would entail • conotderable expense. - Colonel BLAIR said, under these circumstances he not press the motion. • . THE OFIA.NGES IN. THE GOVERNMENT. Lord D. STUART, referring to the late changes in the Government, gave notice that on Monday next or some other evenin oft goin g i n t o supply, he should ask fo r some explanations on . he recent changes in the Government. L 035 OF THE EUROPA. fu reply to a question from Viscount JOCELYN, bir J. GRAHAM said, he grieved to say that this morn ing he received a report with reference to the loss of the Europa, which confirmed the melancholy fact that that ship had been burnt on her passage to Gibraltar. The statement had been received at tho Admiralty this morning, • and -would be.. C OMiantliCated in detail the • the —P ect i s ic was s s etvheisni:_ngT. :—That on 811°Xe stateme nt morning of the Ist Juno, the captain of a ship near Gibraltar observed a sumke. which led hi.o to b .F•a3 o,lv, a ship was on fire. burnt clown to the water's cage , an d n o livin g p erson on He b' re down towards the w:ock , awl round the vessel board.

(Sensation.) The house would be grieved to hear that among the officers so lost was Colonel Moore, the com manding officer of the Enniskillen Dragoons--(renewed sensation) —who in the most devoted manner refused to leave the ship. The circumstances which gave rise to the fire were still doubtful, but an investigation would take place at Gibraltar. He (Sir J. Graham) should not be discharging his duty if he did not state that there were circumstances with respect to the conduct of the sailors which were highly unsatisfactory. The whole of the officers and sailors of the ship's crew effected their escape immediately after the commencement of the fire, with the exception of the master of the transport, the carpenter, and one sailor. With that exception, the con duct of the sailors did not appear to be satisfactory, and must lead to a full and searching investigation. (Hear.) Mr. OT WAY asked whether the loss of the Colonel and other officers was owing to the want of a sufficient number of boats on board the vessel. Sir J. GRAHAM replied in the negative ; the transport was supplied with a full complement of safety boats, and every care was taken to secure her magazine from fire as in the case of a ship of war. MUSSULMAN RELIGION. Mr. BINNAIRD wished to ask whether the Govern ment have had any correspondence with Lord Strat ford de Redeliffe, with reference to the !law, which still exists in Turkey, that if any Mussulman (not a renegade Christian) embrace Christianity he would be liable to the penalty of death ; and, if so, whether he would object to a copy of such correspondence being laid on the table of the house? Lord J. RUSSELL replied that no correspondence had taken place on the subject. OXFORD UNIVERSITY BILL. The house went into committee ontho Oxford University Bill, resuming at clause 33, which was agreed to, as after discussion were the succeeding clauses up to clause 40 in clusive. On clause 41, which provides that persons becom ing members of any college after the passing of the act shall not possess vested interests, a division was taken and the clause was carried by 86 to 39. The two remaining clauses of the bill were agreed to. The schedule, which contains the names of officers who are to form part of congregation, was agreed to. Mr. G. VERNON moved the addition of two clauses, one providing that a register of the names of members of convocation should be kept by a bedel and be freely acces sible ; and the other, that graduates who had made all necessary payments previously to their having taken a de gree entitling them to be members of convocation, should not be required to make other payments as a condition of qualification. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought that these were matters of detail with which Parliament should not be asked to interfere. The clauses were w.thdrawn. Mr. R. PALMER moved a clause providing that in case of the proposed abolition of any privilegebr right of pre ference belonging to any school, notice should be given to the Charitable Trust Commissioners, who should. have a . - certain veto. gone e ar enough in according the right of dissent, and ob jecting CHANCELLOR contending that of th t e h e o O E , o X in C i e HE e Q had UE R a ir p e p a o d s y e g ol jecting that the clause proposed to go further than thecom quite f mittee had previously done, and to give a veto to trustees of schools, a body entirely dissimilar from the governing bodies of the colleges, Sir W. HEATHCOTE supported the clause. Lord J. RUSSELL opposed it, asd contended that the bill as it stood effectually protected the rights of the schools. Mr. WALPOLE considered that the clause was desirable in order to reader clear the provisions made for the pro tection of rights which ought not to be endangered. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL argued against the pro posed clause, and denied that the powers of the bill as it stood were t, .o large or mischievous. Sir T. D. ACLAND energetically asserted that the bill injustic- on parties who did not deserve to be so treated, and who would have no fair hearing. Mr. PALER replied, contending, that there was no effident protection given to the schools, which he avowed it was his object to preserve. After a warm discussion between the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER and Mr. P.:11,3/ER, as to the bearing of the clause in the cape of one school dissenting while others taking under a similar title assented, Admiral WALCOTT went through a long list of the great men who had been brought up at the public schools, as an argument for preserving them. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER begged for further explanations, but his appeal was drowned in the clamour of the Opposition for a division. The committee divided, and the numbers were— For the clause l6O Against it lOB Majority against Government --52 The clause, with an alteration suggested by Mr.Wigram, was agreed to. Mr. HENLEY, declaring that everybody was worn out, moved that progress should be reported, which was agn.ed to. The house resumed: SUPPLY. --MORNING SITTINGS. Lord J. RUSSELL moved the order of the day for com mittee of supply. Sir J. PAKINGTON hoped to be excused if he now made an appeal both to the noble lord and to the house with regard to the present system of morning sittings. He admitted that in order to expedite business it might be advisable to have morning sittings, but he felt very strongly that they ought only to beadopted with thegeneral concurrence of the house, and subject to fixed rules, such as applied to the Wednesday sittings. He would submit to the noble lord whether it would not be advisable that they should be adopted by resolution of the house, as they had already agreed to take orders of the day on Thursdays. He would suggest further that the hours of sittings should be fixed and definite, and that they should limit themselves as much as possible to taking bills in committee only. As, also, that when the house met at 12 o'clock in the day, no fresh business should be brought on after 12 o'clock at night. Lord J. RUSSELL hoped the house would not fetter itself too much by resolutions. It appeared to him that the days of morning sittings should be fixed rather according to the quantity of business before the house, and the desire of the house to get through it speedily. It seemed to him that at this time of the session to have morning sittings on Tuesdays and Thursdays only was quite sufficient, though towards the end of the session it had been usual to have them on Fridays, also, and sometimes on Mondays. The arrangement now madeC as to the hours of sitting was adopted in. 1851 or 1852, and was deemed much more con venient than the former one, under which the house rose sometimes at two, three, four, or five o'clock, and the members did not know when they would reassemble for the evening sitting, whereas at present it was now fixed that they should resume business at five or six o'clock. Ho did not give a positive opinion as 'to the necessity of maintaining the present arrangement ; and if any improve ment on it could be male, he shonld not be unwilling to consent to the alteration. He thought it was desirable that when there was a morning sitting, the private busi ness should be taken at 12 o'clock, in order that when the house met in the afternoon, it might at once proceed to pi - Odic business. Mr. HENLEY concurred with the noble lord that they would go on as well or better without a formal resolution with respect to the days on which morning sittings should be held. He thought, however, that some arrangement should be made by which members might know at what time the house would resume in the evening. (Hear.) Li reply to a question from Mr. BASS, Lord J. RUSSELL said he thought it was very de sirable that when there was a morning sitting, no fresh business should be taken after 12 o'clock at night; but ho did not think it desirable to pass a formal resolution on the point. After a few words from Mr. BOUVERIE, The house resumed. 'IIIE CUSTOMS DUTIES (SUGAR) BILL. The Customs Duties (Sugar) Bill was then read a third time and passed. - THE EXCISE DUTIES (SUGAR) BILL. The - house then went into committee upon this bill, the seve. al clauses of which were agreed to. Mr. WILSON brought up certain additional clauses, on which • _ Sir W. JOI:LIFFE asked for an explanation of the object of the clause. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that licenses were to bo givaa to brewers to use sugar in their breweriel, on payment of a small tax The object was not to raise revenue, but to enable the department of Inland Revenue to keep in view the brewers who used sugar for the purposes of their trade. It would not be necessary to appoint a single additional clerk in consequence of this measure. The clause was then agreed to, as were also several other new clause,, and the home resumed.- JUDGMENT EXECUTION, Ace., BILL. The order of the day for going into committee on this bill was read, and postponed tilt Wednesday next: ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS BILL. On the motion of Mr. R. PHILLIMORE, This bill was read a third time and passed. VALUATION OF LANDS (SCOTLAND) BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill, when Mr. CRAUFURD moved that the Chairman report pro gress. a few clauses in th e bill t o b e gone th roug h, an d h e h o ped The LORD ADVOCATE said that there only remained they would be allowed to pass through committee that night. The committee divided— For reporting progress Against it ... On the 36th clause being proposed, by which it is enacted that shootin g o•-grounds shall only be v a l ue d f or t axa ti o n when l e t t o a tenant, Mr. DUNCAN moved an amendment for the purpose of having such l an d s va l ued for taxation, even when retained in the hands of the proprietor. The committee divided— The clause ns was agreed For th e c l ause 57' Agait it 25-32 to, as were also the r ema i n i ng portions of the bill.

She has been firing upon Hango without success, and proceeded to Helsingfors. Last night eight French men-of-war passed her off Gothland.

Admiral Corry is off Revel, while Admiral Plumridsse is blockading the different small harbours in the Gulf of Finland. A prize to her Majesty's ship Alban, laden with wheat, was passing, said to he worth 7,0001., in charge of Mr. Galbraith, mate of her Majesty's ship Arrogant.

By advices received yesterday under date Gottenburg, June 12, her Majesty's ship Dauntless sailed for England at that date with a number of Russian prizes. The Russian-Finnish ship Argo, of Abo, now sailing under lonian colours, has arrived at Falmouth. It is reported that the question will be raised as to whether she may not be deemed a lawful capture. The Loreline, French store-ship, sailed from the Downs on Thursday to join the allied fleets in the Baltic. The Colossus, 80, screw-ship, was placed in the steam basin, at Portsmouth yesterday.

One of the Belfast papers says,L-"We have heard that, if some thing do not intervene, we may shortly expect detach ments of the English. militia among us, to make up for the soldiers who are necessarily draughted from our gar risons. We shall, for our own part, be glad to see our English friends in uniform, and when they arrive they will, we are sure, get a hearty welcome." _ _ A party of the 2.1 Battalion of the Scots Fusilier Guards arrived in Belfast on Tuesday last, from the Wellington Barracks, London, on recruiting duty. It consists of one sergeant and three corporals. The ser geant and two of the corporals are to be stationed in Belfast, and the third corporal in Ballymena. There was never a party of this distinguished corps in Belfast before, on any duty. There are now six recruiting parties in Belfast, viz., Scots Fusilier Guards, 13th Light Infantry, 45th, 67th, Royal Marines, and Royal Artillery. The latter corps is about commencing the formation of the 14th battalion, which will make five battalions more than it had during the heat of the last long war. A corporal and five gun ners of the Royal Artillery, who have been fur some time past stationed at Enniskillen and its vicinity, eni balked at Belfast on Wednesday evening for Fleetwood, eat route to Woolwich. Captain Charles Thomas Bent ley, of the 78th Highlanders, has been nominated staff officer at Ballymena, vice Child, late senior captain of the 46th Foot, removed to the second division, Belfast, from which Captain Stoney has been appointed to the Leeds district. Major Robe r t Al exan d e r Cuthbert, commandi ng th e depot of the 15th (Y or k s hi re , East Riding) Regim en t o f Foot, stationed at Londonderry, was officially called upon on Tuesday last to furnish 52 volunteers for the 38th (Ist Staffordshire), now serving in Turkey. There is no doubt that the quota required will " turn out" im mediately the requisition is read en parade. The Chaplain-General, the Rev. George Robert Gleig, M.A., has been for some time past on his annual tour of inspection of the regimental schools in Ireland. He is now in Belfast. About 80 English recruits arrived in Cork on Sunday by the steamers from London, Liverpool, and Bristol, to join the regiments and depots stationed in the south of Ireland, ' About 60 of them left on Monday to join the provisional battalions. While England is furnishing such recruits so .freety there is little fear of any defici ency in the ranks of the British army on foreign service. In the south and west of Ireland, owing to some unex plained cause, none are enlisting. From the north of Ireland, and on towards Dublin, enrolment is going on satisfactorily. Recruiting parties from the WiyalMa rines have been stationed iji Cork, Mallow and Bandon a thing quite unprecedented, but they have not been successful in inducing young men to join this service, though it is rather a popular one in Ireland.

The Queen then left the ground, and proceeded by Sheet-street and Bone-lane to the Cavalry Barracks. Prince Albert and the King of Portugal marched at the head of the regi ment to the barracks, by the Spittal-road.

" Newspapers cannot be sent by this route. " Letters for sold era and seamen serving in the British fleet in the Baltic may still be forwarded, under the usual regulations, for a postage of one penny, by her Majesty's ships proceeding from England ; but such opportunities will necessarily be uncertain. " Arrangements are being made in addition, that Sir Chales Napier shall send to England, once every fortnight a steamer for the purpose of keeping up a direct communi cation, and a powerful - steam transport will at intervals proceed from Deptford to the Baltic. Due notice will be given of such additional opportunities for sending letters as soon as the arrangements are complete." LETTERS, &c., FOR THE BRITISH FORCES IN TURKEY AND THE BLACK SEA.

"Newspapers will also be liable to a postage of 2d. each, which must be paid in advance. - "As the French mole of charging postage is by the quarter-ounce, it is necessary that a letter should be un der a quarter of an ounce in weight iu order to secure the advantage of the lowest rate. " The French mail packets leave Marseilles for Constan tinople on the Ist, 6th, 11th, 16th, 21st, and 26th of each mouth ; and the latest period for posting i❑ London let ters and newspapers intended to be forwarded by these packets will be the *evenings of the 31, Bth, 13th, 18th, 23d, and 28th ; but when the mouth has 31 days letters, &c., may b 3 posted on the 29th instead of the 28th.
