But voting afterwards—diametrically the other way. Voting, as we have said, solely and exclusively with an eye to party considerations. Not voting upon principle—there is but one thing to be said obviously of the courso pursued by these immaculate gentlemen, by these only spotless, high-minded, right thinking politicians.

Hence the three hundred were exceeded by a good broad supplementary thirteen— the drift of the mass of arguments making up the de bate to the contrary notwithstanding I The debate, in fact, having been all one way—the result of the debate, that is to say, the upshot of the division, has been all the other. It is an immense triumph for Ministers, and one, moreover, upon which they have ample reason indeed to congratulate themselves. And what caps the climax of victory to them is this, that it is virtually, to all intents and purposes, a twofold victory. A victory still greater, to our thinking, in the Lords than in the Commons. For, it would be idle to regard the result of the division last night in the Peers as, in any way, in the light of a triumph for the Opposition. A majority of Nine in the House of Lords is, in one point of view, more of an anti-climax to the cause of the Conservatives than a minority of Eighteen in the House of Com mons. Particularly, remembering that the majority of nine in the Peers for the Opposition was in a House (Proxies and Present) of 345—and that the majority of eighteen in the Commons for the Government was in a House (exclu sive of the Tellers) of 608 altogether. A division, in fact, as broad and comprehensive as the Houses of Parliament have been driven to for many years—and therefore (so far as the Legislature itself is concerned), upon the Kettlel matter in dispute, final and conclusive ! Observe what is significantly here intimated in parenthesis—final and conclusive so far as the Legislature itself is concerned. For— there is obviously, still, beyond the House of Comte mons, the Country ! The representatives of the people have been appealed to for their opinion, and that opinion they have now pronounced unmis takeably. But—there still :remain—the consti- RO AYL ITALIAN OPERA, Covent -garden. L as t Week but Three. 3 ldlle. Adelina Patti ; Signori It Faure, and Mario.

Scanning the whole of this great Party Debate 'rom its commencement to its conclusion, we are constrained to pronounce it altogether, as unques tionably very considerably below the mark as a display of Parliamentary oratory. But one man alone, to our thinking, was really up to the mark, was really up to the level of his reputation— whether we look to his share in the debates as a speaker, of exceptionally brilliant powers as a humorist, or whether we scrutinise the division. list for his name (happilly in vain !) as a man of veritable, not of nominal bat of veri• table independence. Su signally well has Mr. RALPH BERNAL OSBORNE acquitted himself both by his bold speaking and his not voting at all that—now that we have at last fairly recovered our gravity after the exhausting laughter caused by his radiant, witty, delightful speech of last eveniDg —we would here seriously proffer to him our most earnest congratulations. The member for Liskeard has fairly borne off the bell, he has crowned himself with honour, he has once more, and this time very signally, taken occasion to vindicate his indepen dence. His constituents have more than ever reason to be proud of him. For he has been at once the most effective speaker in the whole of this great party discussion, and the most cqnsistent among all the independent representatives in withholding his vote from the division list. It is especially observable in regard to the speech delivered by the hon. and gallant member for Liskeard, that while in the thick of an unusually angry debate, it seemed to put every one into good humour, it was brought to a close amid loud cheering from both sides of the House ! Glancing for a moment at the one night's debate in the Lords, we would say that the Earl of CARNARVON has at least the satisfaction of remembering those noble words with which he closed his protest against the feeble, vacil lating, and abortive Foreign policy of Ministers— the policy which has now been reprobated by the Lords but condoned by the Commons ! Lord CAR NARTON,we say, has the satisfaction at It ast of having eased his heart and his conscience by the delivery of those noble words with which he thus closed his eloquent peroration : " I myself claim, when I see a weak, ancient, Christian people, allied to us by blood and otherwise, ruthlessly tram pled down in despite of the laws of GOD and man, and when I see England dragged in an unwilling accomplice, then as an individual I claim my privi lege of expressing my abhorrence, and of washing my hands of the guilt, and of shaking off from my feet the dust of this transaction." Whoever looks seriously at the matter in dispute, not through consideration of party, but purely through considerations of principle and patriotism, will fiad stirring in his heart and in his conscience an echo of those burning words of Lord CARNARVON, Others disposed to view matters less seriously, even at this juncture, when Denmark is being abandoned to brutal subjugation under the heels of the Prus sian soldiery, may be disposed to follow with a glance of wistful sympathy the member for Lis■ keard as he quitted that scene of division in the House of Commons, as with a scornful laugh and a disdainful shrug of the shoulders. Amid the crowd of events that hurry on, one is very apt to forget incidents that at first striking become after a short time but secondary in interest and importance, compared with matters of more pressing and particular account. Yet there are some events which should be rescued from the shadows of such early oblivion, and specially singled out as objects of notice. Among these the expulsion of the Circassians must be considered to take a prominent place, and it is therefore very gratifying to notice that a public meeting was held the other day for the purpose of considering the condition of the Circassian exiles, and the measures suitable to be adopted for their relief. This is a very praiseworthy undertaking, and the best wishes of all feeling h e arts will be with those who undertake this work of benevolence, and advocate the cause of the oppressed and the wronged.

The Great Party Debate has duly ended with a Great Party Division. Principle has had nothing whatever to do with the result actually arrived at. The !majority which has turned the balance in favour of the Government has been guided into the lobby —we, were going to say purely, but, sound.- ing as the word;dces, rather mal-a-propos under the Circumstances, we will sa y by preference--solely and evc:naively by Party considerations. Not by considerations of Principl e , i n the least olely and THE SUN, LONDON - , SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 9, 1864. Within the last few days a lamentable accident has deprived the metropolis of one of the most beautiful and ancient of its ecclesiastical buildings. The age and historical interest of the Savoy Chapel and its mediaeval works of art all ranked it among our venerable curiosities. The catastrophe which has rendered it a total wreck and levelled the grim old Crusaders and stately ladies with their ruffs of stone among the ruins left by the conflagra non, has again brought up the que3tion concerning the management of our fire-engines. While it is a matter of debate under whose control the fire engines of the metropolis shall be placed, the public are left in a comparatively unprotected state. No doubt, as far as their means go, the employes of the Insurance Companies do their best ttso fulfil the arduous duties imposed upon them, while the exertions and devotion of the firemen generally are worthy of high praise. Still the whole matter of fire insurance and fire extinction needs looking into, and a thorough change must be made if we wish to put this important branch of social protec tion on a proper footing. During the last 30 years the policies of the companies have increased three fold, and during that period London has greatly extended its boundaries. OutstAnding euburbe have become part of the metropolis, but the district stations of the fire-brigade have not been increased to a degree in any rate commensurate with the requirements of the public. Houses in the neglected outstanding districts may be burnt to the ground before the fire-engines from London proper can arrive to their assistance, When volunteer companies are formed for the protection of these districts they are treated with contempt by the superintendent of the brigade, and the police often place every obstacle in the way of such praiseworthy endeavours. The engines belonging to private companies or individuals, such as those of Capt. HODGES and others, meet with the same opposition whenever they clash with companies' servants, although in point law, since neither party is licensed by Act of Parliament, they are really on an equality. It has been proposed to put the whole management into the hands of the Board of Works, and this in our opinion would be un questionably the best way; but if this is not done some law should be passed placing volunteer and district companies on the same footing as their dictatorial fellow labourers. If the companies are for the present suffered to retain the charge of ex tinguishing fires—a responsibility and expense which they declare themselves anxious to get rid of —arrangements ought to be made for placing powerful engines and a competent staff in every district of the metropolis. When a fire broke out the other night in one of the northern suburbs, the keeper of the engine had to be awakened from his bid to prepare the engine. As it happened, the fire was of no great magnitude, and was easily sub dued; but of course it might have been far other wise. Of course we do not complain of the conduct of the individual in this case, for it was clearly not his duty to sit up all night and every night waiting for fires ; and he showed, we believe, the greatest promptitude ; but it is the system with which we find fault. It is entirely out of keeping with our other business arrange ments, and when we reflect on the vast amount of property accumulated within our metropolis, and the liability which every one is under to risks of this kind, it is only marvellous that we should not long ago have adopted a more complete and effica. cious system. If the distance of the suburban districts from the centre of action put them, under existing rules, in a very dangerous position, the busy thoroughfares of city life run equal risks from a different cause. The inflammability of the con tents of many of the warehouses, and their close vicinity to each other, often enable conflagrations to spread with alarming rapidity, and as, with the best intentions, there i 3 always a delay in getting the engines to work, and the supply of water is often deficient, a trifling accident soon becomes a disas trous catastrophe. Why should not the application of steam, whose marvellous power we are so ready to employ in everything else, be encouraged by every means in our power. The old adage, Bis dat qui cite dat, is emphatically true at a fire, atd everything depends on the speed and force with which the water is applied. The power of the steam fire.engin 98 has been proved to be very great. When the other engines seemed to be comparatively powerless at the fire in the Savoy, the. steam engine came to the reit cue and produced an immediate effect—in fact, ext, l nguished the fire. We oaght to 'nave one of such engines to every metropolitan distri It as well se " nd en" gineo, With James iiitrueu 1 0d day and uight• A than this, because it is well known that nothing leads people so far astray from their orginal in tentions, or so often fails in attaining results, as the excitement of a great question politically discussed, and the ramification of party interest and private prejudices to which it leads. Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE only made one remark on this subject, and the loud cheers with which it was received showed that it met the full approval and elicited the general approbation of the assembly to whom it was addressed. He said that they would be traitors to the great cause of humanity if they did not avail themselves of a►l opportunities of that kind to mark theirreprobation of the conduct of Prussia. This sentiment is one that is completely in unison with the spirit of the people of this country; and however an unworthy Ministry may falsify the policy, or a degenerate House of Commons support them, the general feeling in all public assemblies will be against the Continental despots and great oppressors of the North of Europe. It England cannot at present assist as she ought by force of arms, or even by moral influence, the unhappy victims of cruelty and oppression, at least she can bestow ma terial aid to the victims, so that in some measure their cruel sufferings may be alleviated, and their state of privation partially ameliorated. When we consider that there are more than three hundred thousand of these emigrants, it is scarcely necessary to say that too much cannot be done for them, and that the utmost that gene rosity can effect and charity bestow will be only too insufficient for their need and exigency. The present appeal is made to the citizens of London, with the earnest hope and confident expectation that their example will be followed by other parts of the country, and so some really useful contribu. tions may be expected for that heroic people now suffering the worst ills of war in expatriation and penury. The English people have never yet been found wanting in the hour of need to come to the succour of the oppressed, nor in lending their help to the fallen. The liberality of their donations is beyond the power of Government to check, and it I will be a satisfaction that in some degree, however trifling, the native honour and spirit of the nation can indicate itself, and while achieving the primary object of assisting the Circassians, we may also at tain the result of proving a part of our abhorrence to the tyrannous Governments that are now tread ing freedom, right, and justice under their feet. A mare pressing case of need than this has never come before a humane auditory, and those who respond to it will be serving humanity in its hour of need, and acting in the spirit of that charity which we are told can never fail when mighty things sha pass away.

An arrangement should be made with the water companies for each district station to hold keys for the water plugs, so that time may not be lost in hunting up the turn cock or the beadle. Surely these precautions are simple enough in these days; and that they are imperatively needed is proved by the fact of engines being so long before they reach a fire. The drivers dash along fast enough when once they are started ; but the tardiness of the preparations and the want of communication are the causes of the delay. With telegraph lines traversing our streets there is no excuse ; and it is to be hoped that the late disaster will produce some reform.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. REUTER'S EXPRESS. AMERICA. (Per the Seotis.) NEW YORK, JUNE 29. Official advices from the Army of the Potomac to the afternoon of the 27th inst. report no active ope rations at the front. The Confederates have an 18- gun battery on the heights beyond Petersburg, which have been very troublesome, and has so far proved too heavy for any artillery. The Federals have been able to bear against it. General Grant has not been able to reach the Petersburg and Weldon railroad yet, but his artil lery commands it at a point near Petersburg, so that the road is available to the Confederates only during the night. Grant's troops are suffering from a lack of water, the recent drought having allowed most of the springs to dry. On the night of the 25th, a reconnaisance by the Confederates resulted in their attacking the left of Burnside's corps. They were, however, easily re pulsed. Further accounts of the engagement on the even. ing of the 22d state that, after the movement of the Sixth and Second Corps to the left, and while a line of battle was being formed, a gap was left be tween the Sixth Corps and Barlow's Division, and before it could be closed, the corps of A. P. Hill charged through the Federal line, and fell upon the rear of the Second Corps, capturing five pieces of artillery, 1,600 prisoners, and forcing the Federals back in confusion. They, however, finally rallied, and, according to some accounts, recovered the lost ground. Unofficial accounts represent that the Confederates captured an entire brigade, comprising the 15th and 19th Almsachusetts, and 42d and 82d New York regiments. Richmond papers claim that in this engagement the Federals, with very severe loss in killed, wounded, and prisoners, were driven a distance of two miles, and that they were subsequently repulsed in an attempt to recover the lost ground. It is reported that, on the night of the 21th, the the corps of Longstreet and Ewell moved towards Weldon, probably either to hold the railroad or to make a demonstration against General Grant's left flank and rear. It was supposed that General Lee had been recently reinforced by General Johnston with the corps recently commanded by General Polk. General Foster, with a division of Federal troops, is reported to be on the north side of the James River advancing against Chain's Bluff, opposite Fort Darling. Opposed to this force the Confe• derates are supposed to have a division of Hill's corps. Mr Stanton announces that "all the railroads leading into Richmond are now destroyed, and some of them badly." Confederate accounts, however, claim that, beyond temporary annoyance, no serious interruption of their railroad communications can be effected by the Federals, and that all damage done thus far has been speedily repaired by she " Railway Corps." General Sheridan's command is believed to have successfully crossed the James River, at a point five miles below Powhattan, and joined Grant's army. While marching from White House to the James River, Sheridan's command was furiously attacked by a large Confederate force, and for a time thrown into confusion. The Federate, how ever rallied, and repulsed their assailants. The remainder of the retreat was affected in excellent order, and without the loss of a gun or waggon. The Federal loss in killed and wounded is officially stated at about five hundred. General Flunter reports to the War Department that his expedition "has been extremely successful, inflicting great injury upon the enemy, and vic torious in every engagement," but that "Running short of ammunition, and finding it impossible to collect supplies while in the presence of an enemy believed to be superior to our force in numbers, and constantly receiving reinforcements from Rich mond' he deemed it best to withdraw and suc ceeded in doing so without serious loss. Southern accounts represent that Hunter has de stroyed an immense amount of private propery, but has been utterly defeated in his object, which was the capture of Lynchburg and the destruction of the Railroad. The Richmond Examiner of the 24th states that Hunter had retreated with great toss to Fincastle, after being whipped in several en gagements, and losing thirteen pieces of artillery; bat that he had retarded pursuit by destroying bridges and obstructing roads in his rear. Advices from Sherman's army to the 22d stated that fighting had been in progress for nine days, and that the Federal troops were much exhausted by their continued fighting. On the 18th instant 2,500 Confederates, under General Wharton, captured and burned five freight trains loaded with supplies for Sherman, between Kingston and Dalton. Later advices announce that Sherman's army has met with a disastrous repulse in an attack upon Johnson's position at Kemehaw Mountain. An official despatch from General Sherman says " Pursuant to my orders of the 24th instant, a diversion was made on each flank of the army, especially down the Sandtown road. At 8 a.m., General M'Pherson attacked at the southwest end of Kemshaw, and General Thomas at a point about a mile further south. At the same time the skir mishers and artillery along the whole line kept up a sharp fire. Neither attack succeeded, though both columns reached the enemy's works, which are very strong. General M•Pherson reports his loss about 500, and General Thomas's about 2,000. The loss is particularly heavy in general officers. General Harker is reported mort a lly wounded, also Colonel M'Cook, commanding a brigade. Colonels Barndell and Augustine are killed. Gen. M'Phere son took 100, and General Thomas about as many; but I do not suppose we inflicted heavy loss on the enemy, as he kept clear behind hie parapets," Confederate accounts estimate Sherman's loss at 4,500. A Chattanooga despatch, dated the 25th, st a t e that General Pillow, with a force of three thousand Confederates, had been repulsed in an attack upon Lafayette, Georgia, leaving one hundred dead and wounded on the field. North Carolina advices announce that the expe. dition which recently left Newborn, under General Palmer, had returned, after having penetrated as far as Goldsboro and destroyed a portion of the Wilmington . and Weldon Railroad, besides a large amount of Confederate property, A portion of Magruder's force attacked the Twelfth lowa regiment on the 22d at the mouth of the White River, Arkansas, bat met with a decided repulse. It was rumoured that Magruder was marching against Little Rock. In the Federal Senate, during a debate upon the bill to prevent mili tary arrests, Mr. Saulsbury,, of his great satisfaction at the Delware, expr essed return of Mr, V a ll andie gbam to Ohio, and intimated that the national authorities dare not attempt to rearrest him. Mr. Saulsbury declared that Demo.. onto would Ilenceforth defend the right of trial by The Late Fire in the Strand, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Will you kindly allow me, through the medium of your journal, to express my sincere thanks to my neigh bours for their kind and friendly assistance to my family during the above fire yesterday, more particularly so to Mr Horatio Hunt, of 370, Strand, and his family; also to Mr and Mrs Ballinger, of 365, Strand.—l am, sir, yours mc s t obediently, ALFRED iVE, Publisher. Press-office, 110, Strand, July 8, 1864. I BIG PAUL AND LITTLE TOOLE.--" I allude to J. L. Toole, whose public celebrity is world renowned, but whose real worth and goodness can only be appreciated by those who have the pleasure of his private society and friendship. This miniature of goodness is ever ready to lend a helping hand to the needy of our craft. For example, on one night last season he played at three theatres, first at the Surrey, secondly at the Adelphi, and thirdly at Sad ler's Wells. A comic incident occurred in the transit from the Adelphi to Sadler's Wells. He (Toole) played the clockmaker boy in Janet Pride' at the Adelphi, having to finish at Sadler's Wells as Old Grinnidge in the Green Bushes.' Being pressed for time, he changed garments in the cab. When arrived at the theatre, cabby was astonished to see the old man turn out, and said, ' What have you done with the boy ? This old cove didn't get in at the Adelphi ; what have you done with the young 'un ? I ain't easy in my mind about that there lad,' We laughed, and told the Jarvey it was all right.' HAYMARKET THEATRE. -41R, Co'ES BENEFIT.-- Mr. Coo, so long known and respected as stage director at the "little theatre in the Haymarket," took his benefit last evening, The entertainments consisted of •an amateur performance, interspersed with music. Charles Dance's comic drama, "Delicate Ground," brought out the talents of Mr F. Arkwright (Citizen Sangfroid), Mr P. S. Watt (Alphonse de Grandier), and Miss Adelaide Golier (Pauline). Stirling Coyne's comedy " Everybody's Friend" was filled up by the following professionals :—Miss Snow don, Mr H. Vandeohoff, and Mr J. G. Shore. Miss Gough and Miss Eliza Hughes played pianoforte pieces, the latter accompanied on the cornet by Mr W. J. Holle hone, an amateur of great skill. Mr Aptommas played a descriptive Welsh fantasia on the harp; and the whole of the entertainments gave unqualified satisfaction. MR. ALFRED HILL, son of Mr Commissioner HILL, Recorder of Birmingham, has been appointed Regis trar of the Birmingham Bankruptcy Court, in place of Mr Wilson, who has resigned.—The Law Times of to-day.

Under the debris of a wall, which, up to the present time, has offered nothing important, has now been found en invaluable statuette, 20 centimetres in height. This statuette represents a Silenus, who, with the left hand raised, grasps a serpent, on which stands, or stood, a beauti ful glass vase, exquisitely worked, and decorated with gold. Of this cup only two small fragments have as yet been dis covered—sufficient, however, to show its value. The Style of the Silenus reminds us of the other bronze statue of the dancing Faun. In a few days it will be placed in the National Museum, where it will not fail to awaken admiration equal to that which was felt for the Nar cissus not long since discovered. In the same house, besides the Silenus, two elegant candelabra haVe been found, also of brume, and two large silver vasee, remarkable for their six°. But a discovery yet more important was ma de last week. In the same house a subterranean part was found, in which were a well, a bath, and a small altar, from which were collected the remains of the fruit of the pine which had been burnt before the domestic Lares. Up to the present time no well has been discovered in Pompeii with, water, it having been absorbed by time and volcanic changes. In this, which is 25.20 metres in depth, it has been our good fortune to find excellent "drinkable" water, supplied by a limpid stream underneath.
