MOLES WORTH said the estimate was for 40 patients, which would went all proper requirements. Mr. LAYARD wished to know whether the hospital would be of stone or wood ? Lord J. RUSSELL believed the building to be erected would be of stone ; and he should communicate with his noble friend the Secretary for Foreign Affairs relative to its being commenced at once. The vote was then agreed tp, and the house resumed. The Chancery Amendment Bill was read a third time. THE METROPOLITAN SEWERS BILL. Lord SEYMOUR objected to going into committee on this bill at that late hour. He would recommend to the noble lord (Lord Palmerston) to postpone it to an occasion when it could receive proper consideration. Sir J. PABINGTON moved the adjournment of the debate. Lord PALMERSTON hoped, if the house would not consent to go into committee to-night, it would certainly do so to-morrow evening. The bill was accordingly postponed. The Cinque Ports Bill was then committed pro forma. The Marriages (Mexico) Bill was read a second time, as was also the Acknowledgment of Deeds by Married Women Bill. BENEFICES AUGMENTATION BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT SECURITIES BILL. Mr. WILKINSON objected to going on with a bill of such importance at that hour (it was 20 minutes to two o'clock). He moved that the chairman report progress. Sir J. PABINGTON said the house had got into its present difficulty in consequence of the Government hav ing gone on with the committee of supply after one o'clock. He believed that the noble lord the member for Maryle bone had good reason to complain of the manner in which he had been treated ; the progress of the me asure h a d b een alreaey st a y e d, i n or d er that the opinions of the law offi cers of the crown might be had on it, and now, when both those gentlemen were present, the house was precluded from going on with the bill, in consequence of the way in which business had been conducted that evening. Mr. WILSON would remind the right hon, baronet that if no discussion had arisen on going into committee of supply the bill would have come on earlier. air. I. BUTT thought his noble friend ought most surely divide the house on the motion to report progress, unless he receiv e d an assurance th a t a d ay wou ld be fixed by the Government on'whichlhe bill would be proceeded with. The SOLICITOR GENERAL. said it was absolutely necessary that some important amendments should be made in the bill, stud he promised that if the bill were postponed until Tuesday or Wednesday next, he would bring forward some amendments which, without pledging himself to sup port the bill—(laughter)—he would undertake to say were such as would greatly improve its character. Mr I: BUTT must say the hon. and learned gentleman I ought to have made up his mind as to whether he intended or not to support the bill. He would ask the house was it proper the S elicitor-General should come down to the house, and tell them he had not made up his mind as to the course he should pursue in reference to a measure that had bean described by so eminent an authority as the noble lord the Secretary for the Home Department as involving the honour of the country, and, as attracting the attent.ou of all Europe. He must say the house and the country had a right to demand that some definite course should be pur sued with respect to the bill. Mr. T. HANK EY, as one of the minority, was most anxious that the bill should be properly discussed, and joined in recommending the postponement of the bill. Mr. HENLEY thought that Wednesday next would be a very convenient occasion for discussing the subject, were it not that there was some uncertainty as to the presence of the law officers of the Crown on that day. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL got up to state he, at all events, would undertake to be present on Wednesday next, when he was interrupted by The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, who, amid the laughter of the house, proceed e d t es t a t e t h e bill was prepared with a moat laudable disregard for everything that ought to be attended to in its composition—(laughter) -and he was therefore anxious that a delay should take place in the progress of the measure, in order that th e d e f ec t s i n so notable a perfor mance should be rendered less glaring. He could assure the house the bill bad been framed with a perfect neglect of all British mercantile interests, and of our dealings with neutral nations. (Cheers) The hon. and learned gentleman then entered, at some length, into the van us merits of the bill, and to describe the nature of the amendments be proposed to introduce. A discussion then ensued, in which several hon. gentle. men took part, and a great deal of warmth of feeling was displayed, which was cut short by Lard PALIIERSTON appealing to the house to consent to the bill being postponed until Wednesday next, which, after an assurance on the part of the Attorney General that he should be present on that day, was at length agreed to. The second reading of the Bleaching Halls, &0., Bill also (after a great deal of discussion) was postponed until to-morrow evening (this day), and The house then adjourned at five minutes before three o'clock. P ins UTT3N LDR of the 17,XC1- EQ7EII. - iillTe was -Zer‘sinly 'eurpriselt in' hear the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Henley), who adhered with great tenacity to fioeie of the smaller institutions of the couutry--(laughter)—speaking as he had done of the House of Lords. (Lang'ater.) He ventured to say that the. House of Lords bad by their con duct on that question done everything to weaken, and no thing to strengthen themselves. The amendment which 0 ,; they had set down was an amendment not in favour of ,plunder and robbery, as the right hon. gentleman sup posed, but an amendment in favour of moral and intellec teal excellence as against ignorance and abuse. (Hear.) What the House of Lords had done was to give to com petent parties the power of considering on larger and inot7 general grounds than the Corporation of Abingdon wow,' consider, whetherit were desirable or not that certain Pn: vileges should be- continued. (Hear, hear.) He trusted that that house would not set itself against the House in f voted Lords in a case in which the House of Lords had favour of large and general interests , and in which all that could be said in favour of the opposite interests w as that they were those of kindly, personal, and local fee lings. Sir W. HEATHCOTE thought his right hon. frie nd had shown on that occasion the eagerness of a partisan. In 'eying that the parties interestedought to be contented with an impartial tribunal, his right hon. friend assumed the point is dispute, namely, that there was something which ought to be referred to this tribunal . It was use less to enter on the question of more or less, when the whole thing was an invasion. It was no answer to say Prevent something that that thine schools interposed to vent might be better. If so, what was the use of establishing any school at all ? r. G. VERNON said he had been of opinion in the first instance, that the legislature had no right to inter -. f ere w ith the Various. schools; but the Government had been beaten on the question. He thought that the rights of the schools were sufficiently maintained by leaving them their scholarships. The good of the university must also be looked to in the question of fellowship. He looked I w ith pleasure, to the selection that had been made of corn- m i es i c eers, and•wthi confident - they would discharge their duties uprightly. The Chancellor of the Exchequer was in error as , to - the Westminster scholars being entitled to • fellowships in,Trinity College, Cambridge '• it was merely scholarships in .which they had h a d a r i ght. - Sir J. ?ARINGTON' twitted the last speaker with having voted, differently on two former occasions on this qttestion, and called on him to point out the difference in principle between a scholarship and a fellowship. The justification set up by the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the course pursued by the House of Lords was utterly inconsistenCwith the sentiments he had expressed four years, ago. He (Sir John) looked upon this as nothing leis than unjustifiable- spoliation ; and he was fortified in this opinion by that of the right hon. gentleman himself. - The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—You have no right to say that I published a corrected report of the speechl you refer to, win& differs' materially from the ordinary reports. -Sir j...PA-KINGTON referred to the report in Hansard, which made Mr. Gladstone say that neither the House of Commons nor the Crown 'would. assume a jurisdiction to remove those restraints. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER--Hear, hear, Neither the House of Commons nor the Crown. Sir 'J. PAKLNGTON said the right hon. gentleman was certainly thankful for small mercies if he rested on that distinction. In the speech referred to he protested against examination as a test of fitness, and arg ued that the scholarships and fellowships ought not to be thrown open. Now, he talked of " intellectual exce llence," and how would that be ascertained but by examination? That very morning the house had before it a question as to the intentions of a founder; and the right hon. gentleman spoke warmly in support of those inten tions being respected - let him apply that principle to the case before the house. There were certain schools in Worcestershire connected with Worcester College ; and it would be a great injustice to those schools to take away the fellowships. He could not but regret the course of the Government; their object appeared to be to induce the house to stultify itself. On two previous occa sions the house had decided in favour of this priucipie, by large majorities in crowded houses—not in such a thin house as could be got together at the end of July. Lord J. RUSSELL said, the house would recollect that the last time this question was debated there had been only a majority of 10 in favour of the proposition of the hon and learned gentleman, so that if the house came to a different decision now, they would not be reversing the decision of a large majority. The right hon. gentleman opposite had charged his right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exche quer with saying that "neither the Houseof Commons nor the Crown could assume the jurisdiction to remove these restraints. His right hon friend said the same thing now. What he and what the Government said was, that neither the House of Commons nor the Crown could do so; but that the whole body of Queen, Lords, and Commons could give its assent to those alterations. (Hear, and a laugh.) Their argument was that the founders of these institutions - intended that they should be for the promotion of religion and learning, rather than a hindrance to it. It appeared to bim that if they meant to give a preference to fitness they could not adopt the proposal of the right hon. gentleman opposite. It was clear that if the number was limited, it would only moderate the degree of competency and lower the standard of education. The house then divided— For the amendment of the Lords llO For the amendment of Mr. R. Palmer 6B Majority for the Lords' amendment —42 Several amendments were then agreed to without obser vation, and on the 42d clause being read, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said an amendment had been introduced inthis clause by the House of. Lords, apparently under a misapprehension. It was the addition of the words " in respect of private halls," which, by means of that amendment, w.-re placed in a position analogous to that of the hebdomadal council of the congre gation. They had provided by the clause in question, not that the existence of these halls should be done away with, but that the details should be altered by the consent of the Crown - they had left it to the university to regulte and modify them. It was plain that the amendment of the Lords, which he believed had been introduced per incuriam was an interference with the fundamental principle of the bill, and he therefore moved the omission of that amend ment. Mr. WALPOLE said that power was given by clause 42 to alter clause 27 so far as related to the establishment 01 private halls. But let them look at the limitation of that power. The rule authorising their establishment could only be altered by the governing power of the university; and convocation had the power to stop the force of any statute passed by that body. If the system of private halls failed—and it must be admitted that at present they could be considered only an experiment in their establish ment—then it was a good provision to give this power of alteration, subject to the veto of convocation, as thus, in case of their failure, a remedy existed. He asked the ho use to agree with the c lause as it at present stood. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that to bestow this power would be to give an absolute reversion to that prin ciple which it was the great object of the bill to obtain. That object was to extend a system of private halls in the university; and he was sure it was not the intention of the house to sanction an enactment repugnant to their consti tution. This bill was framed upon the report of a com mittee of that house, which had recommended the estab lishment of private halls. Mr. NEWDEGATE opposed the proposition of the right hon. gentleman opposite. As had been before re marked, the establishment of private halls was but an ex periment, and the Lords, viewing it in this light, had so legislated. They could not expect the House of Lords to pass the bill with the omission of this most material por tion of it. Mr. HENLEY said so far ashe could construe the mean ing of the clause, the power was absolutely necessary : the 30th clause gave power to the governing body to make re gulations ; the 41st clause enabled them to alter those re gulation from time to time; the 39th gave a controlling power to convocation, while the 4ed, as it stood would give the power of repeal, subject to the control of the Queen in Council. He should therefore oppose the proposition. (Cries of " divide.") Lord J. RUSSELL said that be considered that the par ties who made the regulations for the establishment of private halls would still have the power to repeal or alter them. The question, that the house disagree with the Lords' amendments to clause 42 was then put. The house divided— Mr. M. MILNES believed, from all ho could learn, that the estitnare was an extremely economical one. He had been told that other parties had offered even a larger sum than the vote. One rumour was that an intention existed of buying the ground for a large Roman Catholic cathedral. (Laughter.) Mr. BANKES said that one reason why he objected to the grant was, that he had been told that that beautiful structure, Burlington House, would be pulled down, which, in his opinion, was to be regretted, as it would be one of the greatest ornaments to the metropolis if it could only be seen. He thought that private societies could build much cheaper for themselves if left to their own 1 resources. Mr. HEYWOOD said that the presidents of the dif ferent scientific societies had had a meeting the other day, and had all agreed that the purchase was desirahe, and was obliged to the Government for proposing to buy it- Those societies had a fair claim on the Government for a location, as some of them had originally been provided with rooms in our public buildings. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not well understand the arguments made use of by the hon. member for Dorsetshire. That hon. gentleman stated that his objection to this vote would be either withdrawn or greatly modified if it were proposed to pull down the wall in front of Burlington-house ; and, having made that state ment, he proceeded to say that, at the present time, it vas absolutely necessary, on account of th e war , t o re f ra i n from applying to Parliament for money to be expended for a purpose not absolutely necessary. He could not ruder stand how those two arguments could hang together, nor could he admit that either was tenable. The proposition for pulling down the wall, and so opening the view to Burlington-house, was a proposition not to be endured— (" Oh, oh !")—that was to say, not to be endured by those who were intrusted with the management of the public resources at the present time ; and, on the other hand, he protested against the doctrine, that the country was so reduced in means that no money could be voted except for purposes of what might be called aim Outs necessity. With respect to the acquisition of three acres and a half of land at a price which every one must admit was by no means extrav gent, in the very heart of London, in a most com manding situation, in a great thoroughfare, he will lzhnly say that if the opportunity were allowed to pass it might be many generations before such another occurred, and in the 40 or 50 years which might elapse before such an opportunity occurred in what way could the public demands for space be met ? With regard to the statement that scientific societies could furnish themselves with room at a cheaper rate than the Government could provide it for them, he must say that he could not agree to to that statement; because, if they were provided with space in any Government building, other parts of the building, which would be uselees to them, could be turned to account by theGoverninent. The difficulty which those societies met with in obtaining accommodation was the difficulty of procuring a large room for their meet ings, but if they were provided with space by the public, one large room would be sufficient to answer the require ments of all. The hon. member for Lambeth bad spoken of the vacant space in Downing-street; but that site was wanted for other purposes. The position of the great State offices in Downing -street wee abso'ntely disgraceful. Some of them were even dangerous, and others inconvenient in the highest degree, and it had become a matter of neces sity that they should think of an alteration and enlarge ment of those offices on a great scale. For such purposes the vacant space in Downing-street would naturally be required. To treneer any of the great offices of State to Burlington-house would be altogether inconvenient, and it was important they should all be centred in the neighbourhood of Downing-street. But for commissioners' offices and establishments of that kind Burlington-house would be found exceedingly convenient, and he therefore thought that for such purposes the pro posed arrangement was an excellent one. He hoped, there fore, that the present question would not be mixes! up with the one about Kensington, or in any way confounded with the question of the National Gallery, which hail been discussed and settled, as was understood, conclusively, in the course of last session. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DISRAELI said there could be no doubt of the soundness of the statement made by the right hon. gentle man' that nothing could b e more va l ua bl e or rather invalu able to the Government of this country than those spaces of ground that from time to time might be procured in the metropolis. But, before he adverted to that subject, he would venture to make a remark on one or two ob-ervations that had fallen from hon.gentlerceu opposite. The hon. mem ber for Lambeth had commented on the propriety of some alterations in Somerset-house for which he (Mr. Disraeli) was responsible, and in some measure approved of what bad taken place_ He was quite prepared to show, if it was necessary to go into the question, that those alterations were all for the convenience of the public service, as well as economical in so far as regarded the public expenditure, and that, in so far as the management of the Duchy of Cornwall was concerned, the alterations were unquestion ably all in favour of the public. (Hear.) So far, indeed, from there being anythi ng lik e a susp i c i on of what was called "a job" in this matter, the Duchy of Cornwall would have been perfe c tly s t ti s fi e d to remain in their old quarters. (Hear, hear.) The hon. and gallant member for Bath had made one of those, he might say, habitual attacks on pur chases that were so common in that house, and found fault with the purchase of Kensington-gore on account of its expense. He stated that 200,0001. had been paid fur 20 acres of land, whereas the fact was that it was not 20 but 90 acres of land that were purchased (hear, hear)—and, therefore, when the hon. member for Bath wished to establish his reputation for economy and made his attacks on these purchases, he ought to be more statis tically correct in his figures. He could not agree with the gallant captain, that the site of Burlin g t o n-h ouse was emi nently quali fi ed for a National Gallery. (Hear, hear.) Before they determined what was a good site for &National Gallery. they should come to a conclu s i on as t o what sins meant by a National Gallery. He thought the present Na tional Gallery 'was the greatest disgrace thatexisted in this country, and he would much sooner there was no institution bearing the name than that the small collection in the pre sent institution should be where it now was in this metro polis. (Hear, hear.) In his mind, the site of Kensing ton, which had been recommended by a committee of that house, was not too small for a National Gallery, a great palace of art, worthy of this nation, and he earnestly hoped no attempt would again be made to raise a National Gallery, such as a National Gallery ought to be, unless they attempted to do something really worthy of the coun try and the subject. (Hear, bear.) There was nothing on this question so important as that which the Chancelior of the Exchequer had so strongly impressed on the house, of every existing Government seizing upon every opportunity that presented itself of purchasing such spaces of ground in the metropolis as might be thrown upon the market. It was absolutely necessary to avail themselves of these opportunities of promoting the public service, and that in no niggardly spirit. (Hear, hear) It was of the utmost importance that they should have more accommodation for the public offices, and it was hardly less important that the public servants should be as much as possible brought together by the contiguity of the offices in which they were placed. Indeed, contiguity was, to a certain degree, as valuable as additional space (Hear; hear.) For these reasons, if the Government recommended the purchase of those 3. acres of ground in Burlington-house, he would be prepared to support them. But there was one point on which he wanted some information. He was himself so impressed with these feelings when in office that when a distinguished nobleman who held a Crown lease which was about to cease, wished to have that lease renewed, the Board of Treasury, of which he was a member, refused the renewal. (Hear, hear.) Application was made to have the lease of Montague-her:Lee renewed by the Duke of Buc clench, a nobleman who was respected by every member of that house ; but it appeared to the Treasury that the claims of the public service were so paramount that they were not at liberty to renew the lease. On that occasion he felt it his duty, remembering that Montague-house stood next to the Treasury, to retain the site for the use of the public ; but no sooner was he out of office than.that deci sion of the Board of Treasury wig rescinded, and the lease of Montague-house was renewed to the same disting uished nobleman he had al rea d y re f erred to. (Hear, hear.) Now, he could not reconcile the rescinding of that resolution and the renewal of the lease with the stateiiient of the public necessities so strongly expressed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer—(hear, hear)—though he was, at the same time, prepared to support the Government in the proposed pur chase of Burlington-house. (Hear, hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the subject referred to by the right hon. gentleman had not for some time been before him. He would not now go into details ; but he thought that the right hon. gentleman was quite right in calling the attention of the committee to the transaction, because he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) was distinctly of opinion that an error had been committed in the renewal of the lease of Montague House. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the time at which or persons by whom this transaction took place, he should rather not say anything at present ; because it would be much mere satisfactory to produce the documentary evi dence relating to it which was in existence than to enter into any statement at this moment. He, therefore, hoped that the committee would allow it to stand over until ho ooked up the papers, which he would do iminediately, with view of placing them before the house. (Hear.) The committee then divided — For the vote 143 Against it Mejority —l2o A. vote of 10,0001. for the pirpose of defraying tiee expellees - of erecting new consular officei, a British sea man's hospital, and a prison, at Constantinople, having been proposed, Lord D. STUART objected to the form in which the vote had been placed upon the estimates, inasmuch as no information was afforded as to what amount of money was to be expended under each of the heads to which the vote was to be applied. So far as the item relating to the hos pital was concerned, he could only say that nothing could be more necessary than the erection of such a building.

He hoped, therefore, the right hon. gentle. ma n would furnish some explanation as to the d e t a il s of the vote. ti 130 70 -60 Ayes Noes Majority for the motion.. The other amendments having been agreed to, a commit. tee was appointed to conduct a conference with the Lords, SUPPLY.—THE BISHOP OF NEW ZEALAND. On the motion that the house resolve itself into a com mittee of supply, Sir J. PAKINGTON moved that this house will, to morrow, resolve into a committee to consider the following resolution, viz.:—" That an humble address be presented to her Majesty,, praying that she may be graciously pleased to give direction s that the salary of 600/. heretofore voted annually . to the Lord Bishop of New Zealand shall be paid for the years 18143 and 1854; and assuring her Majesty that this how will make good the same."

He should therefore support the motion. Mr. R. PALMER did not think the colony was called upon to pay. He was of opinion that the honour and good faith of the British Parliament was pledged to the payment of the salary. - Mr HADFIELD opposed the motion. Sir J. PAKINGTON said that after what had fallen from Sir G. Grey, he should leave the matter in the hands of the Government. • • The motion was then withdrawn. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. The first vote proposed was 140,0001. for the purchase of Burlington House. Mr. SPOONER. ni said that up to the present moment the "house o niormation as to what was to be don e witi ith h e m r u e r e cl i a y s eti e of land at Ken this gto a n tid a i n ti d o a t h a e l y s o u u m gh ( t , f , therefore, to pause in granting mon 'y for the purchase of Burlington House until they had had some specific plans and estimates laid before them.

SF.DUCTION—BENDALL Y. ARNELL. This was an action to recover damages from the de fendant for having seduced and debauched the wife of the plaintiff. M.t. Chambers having opened the case, called James Bendel!, who deposed that he was the plaintiff's nephew, produced the certificate of a marriage between his uncle and Rose Botwright on the Ist July, 1848. He was not present at the marriage, but he visited them afterwards, and they appeared to live happily together. His uncle carried on the business of a tailor, and his wife worked as a dressmaker. His uncle went into the hospital in 1853, and remained there fifteen months. Cross -examined—Witness keeps a dancing academy in Circus-street, New -road. Persons were admitted te his rooms on piyment of 6d. each. Some people might call the establishment a Casino, but lie called it a dancing academy, and he kept a dancing master for the purpose of teaching dancing. This person also acted as master of the ceremonies, and he introduced the male and fe male visitors to each other. (A. laugh.) The plaintiff'+ wife was in the habit of coming to his dancing rooms. Sometimes she came with her husband before he went into the hospital. After ho went there she used to coire to the rooms with a young woman named Jennings. He did net know who Miss Jennings was, nor where she lived. The plaintiff was about 52, and his wife was about 28 years old. The plaintiff's wife lived with him for 18 months or two years before they were married. The Chief B:iron asked the witness what he meant by saying that they "lived together?" Did he mean that they cohab'ted together as man and wife I The witness said he did. Mr. James—And did she not live with another person before she lived with your uncle ? and did not that per son give Your uncle 2001. to marry her? Witness —I had heard that she did live with some one before she lived with my uncle, but I don't know any thing of his receiving 2001. to marry tier. By the Court—lt was not any part of witness's busi ness to inquire into the character of the persons who visted his establishment. The Chief Baron—Then it was sixpence to pay and no questions asked ? (A laugh.) Witness—Exactly, my lord. John Cozens, of 67, Waverley-road, Harrow-road, Proved that in March, 1853, the wife of the plaintiff en gaged a lodging in his house, which she occupied fur five months. During the whole of that period she was con stantly visited by the defendant, whom sbe introduced as her brother John. He frequently stayed all night. Cross-examined—They used at first to consider that the defendant was a very affectionate brother. Mr. James—l believe at last, however, you began to entertain a little suspicion of their proceedings ? Witness—A very strong suspicion indeed (A laugh.) Mrs. Jane Bullock proved that the plaintiff's wife occupied a room in her house for a few days and that the defendant visited her there, and upon one occasion they were in a bed-room together. She complained to Mrs. Bendall of her conduct. Cross -examined—She once saw Miss Jennings at her own apartment, and Mrs. Bendall was nursing her. Mr. James—Come, now, you can't object to tell us whether there was not a young child -a very young child, you know what I mean—in the room. (Laughter.) Witness--I shan't tell you. (Renewed laughter.) Mr. James—Well, did you ask whose child it was ? Witness—Oh, certainly not. The Chief Baron—How very discreet ! (A. roar of laughter.) This closed the case for the plaintiff. Mr. James then addressed the jury for the defendant. The Chief Baron having summed up, the jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff damages ls.

Britannia, oFßaljik, July 11, /854. have the honour to enclose for the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty,' copies of the reports of Commander Powell sad other officers, who, on the Bth instant, attacked and completely destroyed the inner batteries, stockades, and buildings, at the Salina Mouth of the Danube. 2. The satisfaction I feel at the perfect success of this gallant exploit, is much diminished by the death of Cap tain Hyde Parker, who fell when leading his men. The service has lost in him a most promising yOung officer, who was always zealous to do his duty, and never wade a difficulty. 3. Acting Lieutenant Lyons, after the fall of his gallant captain, commanded the Firebrand's boats, and most ad mirably did his duty, suffering a loss in his own boat of live men wounded.—l have, &c. J. W, D. DU DAs, Vice-Admiral. The Secretary of the Admiralty. Enclosure No. 1, in the Meditenranean Letter No. 333. Her Majesty's ship - Vesuvi us o ff s a u na, July 8, 1854. Sir,—lt is with great grief that. I have to report to you that Captain Hyde Parker, of her Majesty's steam-frigate Firebrand, has been this day kilEed whilst in the act of leading his men to take a stockade battery on the Danube- The loss of this gallant officer is but ill compensated by the complete success with which has attack was attended. The circumstances are as follow s- - -Uaptain Hyde Parker directed a strong party of boats from the Firebrand and Vesuvius to accompany him up the Danube for the pur pose of destroying some works which were occupied by the Russians. At two p.m. the bonnets entered the Danube, Captain Parker's gig in advance ; at the bend of the river, opposite a number of houses on the right bank and a large stockade on the left, a sharp fire was opened upon him, and his boat was nearly riddled; some of his men were wounded. The heavy boats were coming up and Captain Parker at once pulled back to them, hailing ale to land the marines and be ready to storm. This order was executed by the marines and a detachment of seamen in the same gallant spirit with which it was given. Captain Parker then (lashed on shore in his gig, and at, once advanced with a few men, he was in front and greatly exposed A trenien• .ions fire was opened by the enemy upon them, and a few minutes after landing a bullet pass( id through their leader's heart, and in a moment this gallant sailor ceased to live. Thus died an officer whose merits, sir, are well known to yourself. His conduct.on this occasion leaves an example of valour that never can be erased from the memory of those who were present. The command of the force them devolved upon myself. I directed the gun-boats, and rocket-boats to be brou g ht to the front; the storming party was formed by Lieut. Jull, R.M A, the gun-boats commenced a most effective lire upon the houses and battery, and in a short time the enemy's fire was silenced. I directed the storming party to advance, and the place was eutereel at a run by a detaohment of marines and s eilors, headed by Lieutenant Jull, R.M.A. and Lieutenant Hawkey, R.M. We found that the enemy had already retreated at the rear, and so thick was the cover, that pursuit was in vain. . The work that we had taken wths a gabion battery, the guns of which had been taken as my and the embrasures filled up. It consisted of a front, along the river raised about 15 feet high, and 400 yards in extent ; in the rear was a mores(, and the two flanks, which were not 30 yards in length, were defended as in front; this work enclosed works have b een (ent i rely demolished, the about fifty Government houses, st a bl es, store-houses and a and nothing now -marks the spot b u t a Part of the t own of Salina, from whence the ene m y housese anozief de s t r oyed, itn y sn h r os. T h e a y e had dP opened fire, has be ea burnt ; the principal street I have thought it proper to spare. There was no means of computing the enemy's loss, al though they were seen to fall inside the intrenchmants. I am disposed to think that they were assisted in carrying off their wounded, and even defending the place, by some Greeks, as men in the dress of that country were seen in termixed with the Russian troops. From the heavy fire that was opened upon us, and from he number that were seen aft erwards collected at a dis tance, the e nemy must hav e b een in great force before they reltrtebaetceodm.es my duty to rep or t to you the extreme good conduct of all employed on this occaon. The gun boats were most skilfully managed under circumstances of great difficulty. They were connnanded by Lieutenant Sullivan, Acting-Lieutenant Lyons, and Messrs. GooldenandKerby, mates. Mr. Carey, second mast er, has, I regret to say, been It fell to Lieutenant Julr y s lot t o h ave an opportunity of particularly distinguishing badly wounded ; he behav e d most creditabl himself by his coolness and gallantry whilst in comm an d of the marines, and he speaks most highly of Lieutenant H awkey, officers and men that w ere with him. The medical officers h ave merited our best thanks. Dr. O'llagan, in the executi on of his duty, was in the midst of the tire, and his clothe s were pierced with bullets. I must claim your i n d ulgence for the hasty manner in the non-commissioned which thi3 despatch has been written, as I wish the Fire brand to join your flag immediately, with the body of the have, late well-loved and gallant 'Captain Hyde Parker. —I Scc.

IMPERIAL PAiILEAMENT, HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS EVENING The house met at five o'etock. REFORVI OF THE CRIMINAL LAW. The Earl of STRAD BROOKE called attention to the enormous expense, and the inconvenience imposed upon the country by the prosecution of persons for petty offences at the assizes, and exoressed a hope that a mea sure would be introduced, to enable these cases to Be disposed of by magistrates at petty session., Lord BROUGHAM said a bill had been introduced on that subject into this house, but it had been post poned in consequence of the lateness of the session. . The LORD CHANCELLOR intimated that it was his intention to consider t he sub j ect during the recess and he hoped to be able to bring iu a bill next session to remedy the evil c omplained of. Lord CAMPBELL rejoiced to hear that a measure was to be introduced by his noble and learned friend, and trusted it would not be delayed beyond next year. The Earl of HARDWICKE concurred in the proposed reform in the criminal law, The sußbjEecFtuthseAuLdroTpo TAKE dropped. AN OATH. Lord CONGLETON adverted to the case of the f ema l e who was committed to gaol at the assizes for refusing to take an oath, and inquired whether the law was such that a judge had no alternati ve , w h en a person r e f use d, on conscientious grounds, to take an oath, but to commit him to prison. The LORD CHANCELLOR said as the law stood, if a person was supposed to give evidence, he was bound to take an oath, unless he belonged to the excepted classes of Quakers, Moravians, and SeparatiQts, and to fail in doing so was a contempt of court for which the judge had no alternative but to commit the indivi. dual to prison. In the present session, however, there had been introduced a bill, which he trusted would receive the concurrence of the other house, and shortly become law, which would meet the cases of persons who had con scientious scruples to taking an oath. After a few words from Lord CAMPBELL, the subjeA dropped. YOUTHFUL OFFENDERS BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. Lord BROUGHAM said he approved generally of the bill, but objected to the second clause, which rendered it necessary that a young person should be sent to prison for a few days before becoming an in mate of a reformatory school. The BISHOP of LONDON considered that no sys tem of reformation for juvenile offenders could be effec tual, while it subjected them to the taint of associations in a gaol. The LORD CHANCELLOR said the term of impri sonment was so short that it was not calculated to con taminate young persons. The clauses were then agreed to, and the house re sumed. The Convict Prisons (Ireland), the Indian Appoint ments, &c., the Inclosure, &c., of Land, and the Ad miralty Courts Bills, passed through committee. The Land, Assessed, and Income Taxes Bills were read a second time. The Public Revenue and Consolidated Fund Charges Bill passed through Committee. The Standard of Gold and Silver Wares Bill also passed through committee. [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS —(THIS DAY). The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

P iT.III,'RSTON and Mr, W1L5 , ...0r resiBtTd fte Mr. S :IERBERT said if the amendment !liould he carried. 1: would lie for ti,e Govtrumw:t to consider whether thy would g on with the bill. After some further discussion the committee divided, when there appeared— For the amendment Against it Majority The amendment was accordingly carried. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the amendment involved a very important principle, and it being now sanctioned by the committee, it had become the duty of the Government to take time to consider what course they should pursue with regard to the bill. Notwithstanding this declaration, the consideration of the remaining clauses were proceeded with. Clause 4, as amended, was agreed to. The remaining clauses were agreed to. Colonel NORTH moved the following additional clause :—" Adjutants of militia • regiments who have been captains in the army, or in the East India Corn pany's service, shall take rank in the militia, according to the date of their commissions in the army or East India Company's service, and all other adjutants, of whatever regiments, shall rank as the junior captains of their regiments." 85 60 -25 The jiause was negatived.
