Mr. HEYWOOD'S clause has been carried by a very decisive majority. Ministers have yielded gracefully to the clearly expressed feeling of a majority of the independent representatives of the people ; and the House which deliberately de cided that the academic portal should be thrown open to Dissenters, has refused to stultify itself by prohibiting any collegiate recognition or testi monial of the education that may be obtained by the new students. We heartily rejoice at this auspicious result ; and we do so more for the sake of the members of the Church of England them selves even than of those who are at length ad mitted to the advantages of an Oxford education, although still debarred from the substantial re wards attached to literary or scientific excellence in the members of the favoured creed. It is less disgraceful to be the victims than the perpetrators of injustice, to be the sufferers rather than the oppressors. And those who have seen an (Alter intolerant restriction, for which they might be considered responsible, struck away, have greater cause for self-gratulation than the parties who have at length, even at the eleventh hour, been liberated from these unjustifiable bonds. • We know not whether many members of the bissenting body may desire to avail themselves of t 2 1 .5 advant ages th us tendered for their acceptance. 4 e toilies of which they are members have con -triv.d to get on very creditably and very pre sneroust 1 Y notwithstandi n g the exclusion. They .have su e ,, eded . In the Senate and at the Bar. They have attained the highest distinctions in the practice of medicine awl surgery ; whil e th e nava l and military annals it, he United Kingdom have proved that s ome of g our most allantdefenders by land and by water, h ay , , not been worshippers in the Church by law estaLlislied. Nor would their swords have been dr awn in defence of their father land, nor their lives" freely and willingly exposed to all the vicissitudes. an d fa perils of the battle and the breeze--iefx aloitl ing their signatures to the 39 Articles were an indispens a bl e p re liminary to their daring p They have p ros p ere d, a nd are prospering, with out an Oxford education, and even in divinity itself great eminence has been attained by faithful and . conscientious Ministers Of the Gospel, although non-subscribers of " the Articles." They have held their ranks in " the battle of life," although not fighting under an Ecclesiastical standard, nor honoured with the degrees of the ancient univer sities. They have been bold rivals, and in many instanse 3 successful competitors with those who had free access to these zealously guarded seats :of learning. The exclusion was, however, prejudicial to all, in one important particular, clearly and eloquently explained by Sir JOHN RA MSDEN, in his admirable speech.. It prevented that associati( n in early years calculated beyond all things to rub off the rusts of bigotry and prejudice from the minds of those thus thrown together, of those who might learn a just estimation of each other from their very contests as well as from their friendly emulation, as from the participation in social en joyments. As the Hon. Baronet truly remarked, " Such an union in education might do very much to engender mutual respect, and often a ttachment between parties who are now but too much trained in mutual antagonism." We are fortunately not restricted to theory on this matter. We have the benefit of the experience derived from Trinity College, Dublin, during a long succession of years —for, in this respect, " the Silent Sister" long since set a laudable example to the English Uni versities. Protestant Dissenters and Roman Ca tholics were willingly received in Trinity Col lego, Dublin. Nay, more, were allowed by their talents :to achieve the highest honours, not carrying with them emoluments or a position in the government of the Univer sity. Many well-known names might be cited as having gained the greatest distinctions of their respective years. Among them we may notice those of Chief Justice MONAHAN, of Master (in Chan cery) MURPHY, and Mr. Sergeant O'BRIEN, of Mr. COMMLSiioller MURPHY, Mr. MORGAN JOHN O'CONNELL, and the Solicitor-General for Ireland ; and we may say they won of each of these gentlemen, that golden opinions from all their competi tors, and formed permanent friendships useful to themselves, but far more beneficial to those who learned to appreciate the worth of men, from whom they might otherwise have kept aloof. We know of at least one instance of a person who, although a hereditary Orangeman, a thorough going Tory, was won round to liberality by his acquaintanceship with some of the Gentlemen above referred to—an acquaintanceship that constituted his pride and happiness in after years. We rejoice, then, sincerely and fervently re joice, at the result of last night's division at the decisive majority of 154, which will carry the question to the Upper House under circumstances that ought to, and we trust will, be sufficient to insure its success, and to render the clause part and parcel of the law of the land. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman - the member for Plymouth has already achieved a high position amongst Legal Reformers. To his inde fatigable researches, and the clear and lucid man ner in which he placed the results thereof before Parliament, we may in a great degree attribute the decisive measure now before the Legislature for abolishing the testamentary jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical Courts. He has once more rendered an equally impor tant service, by so clearly expcsing the abuses arising from the existing law of partnership that he obtained the almost unanimous concurrence of the House, receiving such assurances from the Attorney-General and the Home Secretary that there is every reason to anticipate that the matter will be taken up by the Government, and that an adequate remedy will speedily be provided fur the evils so loudly and so justly complained of. This unanimity was the more striking, as it was in opposition to the report signed by the majority of the Commissioners to whom the subject had been referred—men of high position and great abilities. The views of the minority were, however, so much more in accordance with those of the indus trial community, and with the weight of evidence brought forward in the course of the investigation, that few who examined the question calmly and impartially could dissent therefrom, or impugn the arguments on which they were founded. Many years since we directed public attention to the topic, as one in which the commercial in terests of the country were deeply involved ; and we rej 'ice to find that the progress of events and the additional enlightenment of the age have brought an overwhelming majority of the people to support the opinions to which we then gave expression. Nor is it surprising that it- should be so. Now that the doctrines of free trade have received a legislative and national recognition— that the advantages of " unrestricted competition" are acknowledged by men of all classes and parties —that a general desire is expressed to connect more closely labour and capital—it would be im possible to sustain a system which fosters mono polies, by preventing any persons from engaging in a concern for which they are not prepared to become liable, not only to the full extent of their property, but also with the liberty of their per sons—which prevents intelliguit but poor men from receiving the support which would otherwise be freely accorded by friends and neighbours, who, although willing to stake a stipulated stun, would not engage in so desperate a game as be coming responsible to the extent of their entire possessions, and which also prohibits industrious operatives from acquiring any interest in the firms in which they are engaged beyond the extent of their daily or weekly wages. The objectionable system did not arise from any express decision of the Legislature ; it sprung up by degrees from a series of decisions that ren dered any person who consented to participate in any degree, however triffing, in the profits of a concern liable as a partner for all its debts and liabilities—liabilities which might be incurred without the knowledge and by means wholly beyond the control of these parties. it is need less to state the consequences that naturally resulted from this narrow acid exclusive system. As we have stated, "it operated as a virtual pro hibition to parties obtaining the necessary funds except in the way of loans, bearing a fixed jute rest and payable at a certain time." In anything of a novel character, such as an invention, the effi cacy of which had not been tested by experience, and where there was a certain risk -attending its prose cution, no rate of interest that could be demanded would act as an inducement to capitalists while they were excluded from obtaining a share in the pro fits, with which they might be Contented. The melancholy fate of many men of genius and abi- qty, who, in place of realising fortunes, have languished in debtors' prisons; although fortunes have been realised from the fruits of their inge nuity, has mainly arisen from this cause. " They manage these things better in France." Aye, and in Italy, in Germany, Holland, and the United States of America ; indeed, in every coun try in the world. We have perversely lagged be hind, while others have a,s,certaiu.ed beyond the possibility of doubt the beneficial results of limited liability. The public gain by it, because it stimu lates competition, and prevents anything approach ing to monopoly. The traders and merchants —borrowers of every kind—profit by it, because they ate not limited to a single source from whence to draw the necessary supplies. The only re maining class ate capitalists and we are con vinced that they would be the greatest gainers of any ; for they would find new channels for in vestment—channels, in many instances, leading to fortune ; while even in the old beaten track, it would not stop credit, but only lead to whole some caution in quarters where the limitation was specified. In every respect, then, we agree with Mr. COLLIER in his opinion that, "the existing law of Partnership is unsatisfactory, and that it should be so far modified as to permit persons to contribute tii the capital of such concerns on terms of sharing their profits, without incurring liability beyond a limited amount." The Duchess of Buceletich, who has been for some time an invalid, is, we are happy to state, convalescent.

The list is a very heavy one, their being 142 causes f.r trial in the Queen's Bench, 120 in the Common Pleas, and 170 in the Exchequer, and a great number of these are Special Jury cases. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before Baron Martin.) HALL V. FRIEND. This was an action to recover the value ,of a mare which had been killed through the 'negligence of the defendant's servant. Mr. Duncan was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Montagu Chambers and Mr. Mills for the defendant. The p'aintiff in this case is a brick maker, and the de fodants are Messrs. Friend and Hammill, the great contractors. Upon one day in March last two of the plaintiff's carmen were driving a load of bricks, with two horses, up Haverstock-hill, and the defendants' servants were behind with a loaded cart, drawn by three horses. One side of the road having been fresh laid with granite. both parties were keeping upon the soft part, and defendants' team, which was at first behind, drew past plaintiffs' and drove them on to the granite, and the mare in question, being tender of foot, would not keep there,. and, consequently, came in contact with the wheel of defendants' cart, which passed over the foot, and broke it so that she was compelled to be de stroyed. She had cost 201. in November last. The jury found for the plaintiff, damages 201. TREMENDOUS CONFLAGIUATION-(THIS DAY). One of the most extensive fires-that has occurred in the neighbourhood of Tooley-street broke out this morn ing shortly before one o'clock, and at half-past ten o'clock it was far from being entirely extinguished. The damage already done is estimated at 10,0001. The premises in which the dis aster occurred belonged to Messrs. F. and W. Spencers, wharfingers, 76, Free school-street, Horselydown, and they were occupied con jointly by Mr. John Springett, the extensive hop mer chant, and Mr. R. Tooth, hop merchant, of Mincing lane. The discovery was jnatle . bxsome one passing the premises, whose attention- *as called to dense vo lumes of smoke pouring forth from the basement warehouse of Messrs. F. and W. Spencer. He gave the alarm to the Fire Brigade Station, Tooley-street. By the time the engines arrived the premises were in one mass of flames. Fortunately an abundant supply of water was procured, and:the engines were set, to work, but the flames speedily communicated to Mr. Springett's and Mr. R. Tooth's. The scene at this period was one of fearful grandeur, and illuminated the whole of the metropolis. The burning flakes drifted towards the wlrtrfs and endangered them. On the part of the firemen, under the direction of Mr. James Braidwood, the fire was subdued, but not until it damaged the premiseS of Mr. Wright, 22, Fair-street.; Mr. Joseph Peake,. auctioneer and builder ; Mr. Lester, private ; and Mrs. Mary Roach. The following is Mr. James Braidwood's official re port : - Half-past 12 a.m. Called to Messrs. Spencer, wharfingers, Horsltydown, property belonging to St. Olave's Grammer School, cause unknown (insurance un known, (building, Sun), contents destroyed, ground floor, Mr. John Springett, hop merchant, destroyed ; second floor; Mr. R.

Peake, builder, severely scorched, building and contents (Phoenix) ; Mr. Lester, private, furniture damaged, not insured—building (Phoenix) ; Mrs. M. Roach, granary (Phoenix). No positive clue can be obtained as to the origin of the outbreak. THE TIMES TELEGR4PHS AND TEE . STOCK EXCHANGE. ' On Monday last the Times informed its readers, upon the authority of a telegraph from Vienna,• that Russia had replied to the Austrian note. The terms of the reply were stated to be that—" As a mark of high considera tion for Austria, Russia consents to evacuate the Turkish territories." This proves to have no foundation in fact. Lor I John Russell, last night. said that the last time he saw the Austrian Minister that functionary had told him that no answer had been received from Vienna. The report is evidently another Times canard. The ques tion arises, how is it that the Times is continually lead ing its readers into errors of a similar nature ? How is it that rumours make their appearance in the Times which no other paper would insert ? Strange enough many. of these veracious telegraphic despatches have been of a nature to operate upon the funds, effecting a rise of from one to two per cent. Has not the public a right to expect a little more care from the conductors of a journal than is evinced by the continued insertion of such reports ? .The duties of a journalist, it may be admitted, are more onerous now than formerly. His work is never finished. In the olden times the last four-horse mail brought the latest news ; now a telegraphic despatch may arrive at any hour of the day or night. But the greater the number of messages the more is it necesury to test their accu racy, lest the public should be deceived. The least that can be expected from a journalist is that he shall exercise a sound judgment upon rumours the spread. of which may produce a serious effect upon public business. Unless this is done people will', at last be led to suspect that so:nethilig more tluin carelessness lies at the bottom of mistakes which are constantly being committed, and arc never explained.— /Daily Sews, CO WEB, ISLE OF WlGHT.—fitne 29.

Moniteur, " have just been sent to the commanders of the allied squadrons in the White Sea to establish from Ist August next an effective blockade of the Russian ports in that sea. The blockade has hitherto been delayed, in order to leave time to traders to terminate the opera -Vona which they might have commenoediNfore the . detlarafon of War.' ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. Donizetti's delightful drawing-room opera, Don Pasquale, after a slumber of several years, last, night delighted a crowded house, being represented for the first time on the boards of the Covent-garden Opera, by the artists Lablache, Grisi, and Mario, who long since, in the elder establish ment, made its beauties familiar to the ear of the London dilettante. No sooner did the portly person of Don Pasquale present himself, than the warmth of the greeting showed how many at the instant felt the pleasure of gazing on a familiar face, tinder old asso ciations, that might not again have combined, The wel come having subsided, Lablache delivered "Son nov'ore" with.a soundness that showed " time and the hour" had dealt with him lightly. The scene which follows, wherein the scheming Dr. Malatesta describes the bride he has in view for the old man, excited laughter more hearty than is usual in the frigid circle of fashionable audiences. Ronconi's song " Bella siccowe un angelo," and Lablache's ponderous levity in " Un foco insolito," with its abortive attempts at dancing, fencing, and other experiments, by which the infatuated old gentleman endeavours to test his youthful vigour were examples of that species of burlesco which the Italian stage • alone presents. Mario's impersonation of that insipid young gentleman, Ernesto, was good, and his vocalisation of " Sogno soave de miei prim anni," mellifluously poured out ; and his duo "Mi fa un destin," very genteel parlour tragedy. The fourth scene brought Grisi, and a triumph in the florid re citative preceding the dance-like aria," So anch'io la virtu magica," and the dialogue and duo with her pretended brother, in which they arrange the plan fair the bamboozle ment of Don Pasquale, was wonderful in contr :st, colour, finish, and breadth. The curtain fell to a call for the ar tistes. . — Act the second again brought the Don on at the rising of the drop-scene. The ludicrous finery of the old man so.strongly meved the risibility of the spectators, that, for some seconds, the baton of the conductor hung in the air. It must be admitted that a more striking satire on the "loud" costume of the "gent: could not be (revised. Lablache's " checks" were enormous, and his wig was an exagger.tion of the " natural" one of the fourth George, and of advertising professors. The interview with the cunning and charming Xorina was vigorously and broadly acted, and the by-play of Ronconi and Grisi, es pecially the latter, as the timid girl from the convent, finished, and by no means over-attained. The fictitious marriage contract signed, Grisi's cool assumption of the haughty imperious wife was electric; and her laughing ridicule of her huge, antiqnate4 spouse, in the song, " Un nom qual voi decripito," &c. exquisite. Th a t fine bit o f vocal writing from " T a ci buffone," with the quartet, and the finale of Act 11., "Son tradito, calpestato," &c., wer e worth a pilgrimage to hear. 'The choruses in the second and third acts were well sung; and the scene in which Grisi so delightfully sings, and so charmingly boxes the Don's ears, pies: lted another provocation to good humour in the ori,;inal way in which the corpulent Don contrives by means of a chair to pick up the billet his wife has de signedly dropped. In every respect this revival mu-4t attract audiences, albeit the opera is certainly more open to criticism than several of the same maestro's writings. The ballet Un Etcile closed the evening. THE VALUE OF RAGS.—Yestertlay a return, ordered by Parliament, was printed, showiug that last year there were 9,687 tons of rags imported, and 2,462 tons ex ported. Large quantities of paper hive been exported, and the value of rage has increased. MONEY NI Ait ANT) COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO o'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 8,000 bales, including 1,500 American, and 500 Surat, taken for ext ort, and on speculation. The market closed very firmly with prices of all kinds against the buyer. The sales comprised 6,000 American ; 400 Pernatn and Maranhaiq at sid. to 6/d. ; 300. Egyptian, sid. 9d. ; 1,000 Surat, at 34d. to 41{1.,• and 80 Sea Islands at 10d. to ls. lid. per lb. Railway Shares were very active at higher prices. Colonial produco has been taken to a fair extent this week. Sugar is quiet. Coffee rather dearer. Rice has been dull, and Rum has gone lower. Nut megs have been rather cheaper and most other spices. Saltpetre has been dull. In Scotch pig Iron there has been a decline of ls. per ton. Tal low has been rather inactive, and hemp and flax firm. Tea has not been much dealt in. The steamer Himalaya, was "got off" at one o'clock this morning, greatly to the satisfaction of all mercantile men. Letters for India, and Australia per Overland Mail, owing to the detention of the steamer Candia, will be in time until eight o'clock on the morning cf the Gth instant if sent by way of Southampton, and until six on the evening of the 10th instant via Marseilles. We commend to the attention of mercantile readers the following remarks by the editor of the Bankers' Circular : " We do not think that there is any rational ground for believing that the proposed duty on foreign bills will he productive of any serious obstacles to our commercial intercourse with foreign parts. A small duty is already charged in several countries on the continent, and we cannot see the force of the arguments used against twing foreign bills here. But there is a point of still greater weight which appears to have been scarcely touched upon by the opponents of this part of the bill, the losses to which the holders of them are in the event of the acceptors or indorsers having become bankrupt or insolvent. If, as it has been ad mitted in the Bankruptcy Court, the holders 'of such bills of exchange are not entitled to.any claim on the bankrupts or insolvent's estate, whence is the remedy to be obtained to prevent the public frein becoming subject to very extensive frauds by such transactions ► if not from Government ? This very material part of the question seems to have received very little attention from the opponents of the bill ; hut it is one to which we attach great importance. Fur if it became known that a merchant may draw bills in the city of London, pur porting to be drawn in the colonies, or in a foreign country, and that the holder has no power of recovery, we can hardly conceive a greater encouragement to fraudulent speculators to increase their number under the express knowledge that no such power of recovery exists. The cases that have already occurred are suffi cient to show that it is the duty of Government to pro vide a remedy against a similar occurrence. We can scarcely conceive a more important duty for the Legislature to perforni in connexion with the commercial transactions of the country, than that of protecting parties engaged in them from fraud. where the individuals have no direct means of pro tecting themselves, which is undoubtedly the case under the existing laws respecting foreign bills, Therefore, notwithstanding the influential names of the parties who opposed this bill, we believe that it will meet with the general concurrence of the public, and that l►e ther our home nor foreign trade wig receive any injury from its adoption." The bill last night introduced for the purpose of altering the usury laws is of importance to the railway companies in the regulation of their loans upon debenture bonds, and it is not likely any valid objection can, in these days, be taken to the granting of the same facilities to companies as to individuals in borrowing money at its current market value. As to the landed interest, they have long since been obliged, when needy, to resort like others to justifiable evasion when they re quired accommodation and were unable fo obtain it at what is called the legal rate. The Parliamentary Return upon the Russian Dutch Loan shows the aggregate sum paid by Great Britain for the principal and interest there of, under the Convention of May, 1815. It ap pears that the redempton takes place at the rate of 1 per cent. per annum, and that 5 per cent. inter est is paid ; consequently, the amount of the latter decreases annually. Up to the close of last year 4,110,9681. ss. 10d. had been paid as principal and interest, and there remains no less than 3,386,8891. 9s. 2d. principal and interest yet to be discharged by England. - In American Securities this week, according to the report of Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co., there haS been - an active market. The United States 6 per Cents. of 1868 have been at 107 k to 108 ex dividend, the Pennsylvania Fives at 79 to 81, the New Orleans City Loan at 80 to 81 ex div., the Pennsylvania Central Railroad Bonds at 93 to 91k, and New York Convertible of 1862 at 79 to 81. The inconvenience to which the Russians are exposed by the blockade is daily getting more seri ous, and when goods are taken across the land frontier, the Prussian carmen are to be allowed to accompany them to Moscow, Riga, arc. The New Austrian Loan for a nominal capital of forty millions sterling would startle any one not conversant with the actual position of the imperial finances, and_ bad as we believe them to be, there is, nevertheless, a mixed operatioti involved which would reduce this by an exchange of stock and floating securities to probably 16 or 12 millions sterling. The Funds have been a shade better than they were yesterday afternoon, but without much doing. Consols opened at 941 and are no w 934 to 94. The New Three-and-a:Quarter per Cents. have been 941 to t, and the Three .per Cent. Reduced, in which there haS been a good deal done, 93 to 941, being precisely the same as Consols, although three months' interest has accrued. Bank Stock is up to 206-and 208. Exchequer Bills are ls. dis. to par and the Bonds are not higher than g prem. East India Bonds are at par to 2s. prem. . Foreign Stocks are dull. Peruvian Deferred have been firm; however, at 51A to 52. Chilian have been dime at 742 for the 3 per Cents. Bra zilian Old Bonds have realised par. Mexican steady Ste at b 41.

Th e present remittance for the dividends is 54,000 dol lars, as stated yesterday. T:ie private accounts from Mexico are not good, the Government finances being very low. Railway Shares have been flatter, as was to be expected, after yesterday's decided rally in connec tion with the settlement of the account, and there is much less doing. Still the market is expected to maintain its growth and to gain strength. A failLre has nccui red, but Bear speculations in Con suls were the principal cause. Foreign Shares are rather cheaper. Gold Mines are quite neglected. Australian Agricultural Land have slightly further advanced. Crystal Palace are without change. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

The Royal party, who had travelled in one of •the state carriages, which had been placed at their disposal by the cowpony; arrived at the Lime street station at 10 minutes to 11 o'clock, and were re ceived on the platform by the Mayor of Liverpool (Mr. J, B. Lloyd) and the town clerk (Mr. Shuttleworth), and were immediately driven off iu the Mayor's state and private carriages to the Adelphi Hotel, where two sitting rooms and eight bedrooms had been engaged for them. Yesterday morning his Metjesty and suite visited St. George's Hall, the Derby Museum (bequeathed to the town by the late Earl of Derby), the Sailors' H ome, the Cu-toni-house ' the Albert Dock and war ehouses, taid the Town-hall. They then proceeded to the Adelphi Hotel, in the Mayor's carriages, and, after partaking of luncheon, they took a short n al on the river in Messrs. M'lvor's steam tender S.ttellite, used in the conveyance of mails and passengers to and from the Transatlantic steamer. They ultimately sailed in the Satellite, to the Monk's Ferry, on the Cheshire side of the river, and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon started for Bangor by the Chester and Holyhead Railway.

A Frankfort letter of 26th, in thejCologne Gazette, says!—" The Bavarian Governnient has confiden tially made known here, that it abandons the de mands put forth in the Conference of Bamberg, and that it intends to order its representatives in the Diet to accede without reserve to the Austro- Prussian alliance. It is not doubted that the other States which took part in the conferences at Bam berg will, fullow:thiS example." THE .AUSTRIAN ILEET ORDERED TO THE EAST. It is stated in a Vienna letter of the 25th, in the Post Ampt Gazette, that orders had been sent off by telegiaph to Trieste that-all the Austrian vessels of war ready to put to sea should leave for the East, - and the frigate Venus had sailed at once. MOBILISATION OF THE PRUSSIAN ARMY. The Borsenhalle contains a letter from Berlin, which says :—" The provincial authorities of Prussia have received orders to, make the .last preparations for the partial mobilisation of the- army • so as to cause that measure to .be effected as- quickly as pos sible, and with the leist agitation.' THE AUSTRIAN ARMY. A letter from Vienna of the 24th " General de Hess is named commander-in-chief of the third%nd fourth corps d'armee ; he will have under his orders the Archduke Albert and General Count Schlick. The cavalry is placed'under the orders of General Count Clam. The nomination of General de Hess is a very significant fact. To a capacity of the highest order he unites the most pa riotic tendencies, and is quite opposed to the plicy of Russia. - General de Hess, who has risen by his own merit, enjoys a high degree of popUlarity in the army. •The Emperor could not have more clearly manifested his own personal policy than by this selection, and he will soon have all the dissidents on his side. The total strength of the active army will in a fortnight amount to 300,000 men, stationed from• the frontiers of Dalmatia to those of the Bukowine." THE AUSTRIAN SUMMONS. The, convention concluded on th e 14th w ith th e Ottoman Porte, says a Vienna letter of the 24th, secured and regulariSes fire movements of Austria for the occupation of the Principalities ; .bilt the Cabinet of Vienna will not adopt it s resolutions on this subject Until it has received the reply of the Cabinet of St. .Petersburg to its last summons. Colonel•Manteuffel would not have arrived at St. Petersburg until the 19th or 20th. Nothing will be done before the delivery of the Prussian note, and the reply of the: Emperor Nicholas will not be known at Vienna nail the be;inning of July. The tolOgne Gazette, of the 25th, formally con tra licts the assertion made by the Augsburg Ga zette that Austria in her summons to Russia pro posed an armistice; and her good offices in the event of the Danubian prinCipalities being evacuated. The language of Austria, adds the Cologne Gazette, is in the sense of the G rman interests. A letter from Berlin of. the 26th, in the Post Gazette of ,Frankfort, says :—" Although the offi cial reply of Russia has not yet arrive:l, it is clear that since the last journey of the King no illusion is entertained as to its character. It is positively stated, in fact, that the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh has resolved to return a negative reply to the Austro-Prussian suthmons, but in such terms as to render negotiations on another basis possible." THE BALTIC. ANOTHER EXPLOIT IN THE BALTIC. A despatch from Stockholm states that Bomar sound was shelled on the 21st inst. by her Majesty's ships Hecla, Valorous, and Odin. Admiral Plumridge is recalled from the Gull of Bothnia to the Gulf of Finland, and is replaced by Captain.Hall._ COPENHAGEN, June 24..—The Porcupine, 3, Cap tain Jackson, which anchored in Kodjupet, Stock holm, on the 18th, announced that the French fleet had joined Sir Charles Napier in Barey Sound, so that he now commanded . twenty-eight ships of the line, besides a cloud of smaller vessels. His destination was supposed. to be Cronstadt. The Swedish sailing fleet being dismantled and in harbour, there only remains the steam fleet— three or four vessels—which are to constitute a squadron of observation in the Baltic, under the command of Prince Oscar. Four of the eight bomb-cannon boats stationed at Gothland are to be sent- home to Stockholm. No vessel of any kind or nation is allowed to enter Abo—perhaps because the authorities fear the arrival' of intelligence in jurious to Russian interests. Not less than thirty one gun-boats are now ready and manned in Abo harbour. Two English steamers have been pass ing a fortnight in taking soundings round Bomar sund and Aland, and in laying down fresh buoys and seamarks. This object is now fully accom plished. The gaols in Gefle cannot find room for the hundreds condemned to bread and water for worshipping God instead of the State Church.' One whole parish in North Sweden has officially re nounced any further connection with the State Church. A telegraphic despatch from Grisslehamn to Stockholm announces that the Heola was sent to recall Admiral Plumridge' 'squadron, and that all his steamers are now on their way to Sir Charles Napier, in Barey Sound. The Stockholm Aftonsblatt produces extracts of Finland letters and journals; wherein it is stated that our squadron in the Bothnian Gulf has con, trived to make a willing prisoner of one Ananias Michaelson, reputed the best pilot on the Finland coast. He was taken in what the journal calls a " tar-hunt," and, according to the assertions of the Uleaborg seamen, has rendered great service to our vessels. A letter from Copenhagen mentions that the summons addressed by Austria to Russia has pro. duced an excellent impression there. It has thrown the Russian party into great perplexity. The dis appointment of this party is further increased by the news froin the Danube. The prestige of the Russian arms and diplomacy has thus received a severe check. THE AFFAIR AT GAMLA CARLEBY— WANT OF GUN BOATS. The following is an extract from a letter written by one wh6 took part ,in the affair of Gamla Car leby, to a friend : "As you are aware that I am attached to the flying squadron under Admiral Plumridge, I take the oppor tunity of Jetting you know that I am safe and sound, thank God ! but I was much afraid, when you heard of the disastrous affair at Gatnala Carleby, you might have supposed that I was included in the list of poor fellows who were sent to their last account. It was a sad affair for us, but it could not have been conducted otherwise, and the nation has only to thank the Admiralty for the loss, for they must have ,been well aware, on consulting a chart of the Baltic, that on nearly the whole line of coast in the Baltic and the Gulfs of I3othnia and Finland the shore is flat, with very little water, so that a vessel drawing 14 or 15 feet cannot cover a landing party; and in many parts of the coast guns to be made available should be on board a vessel that could approach as near as a depth 1i fathom (nine feet). This was precisely . the case at . the scene of the late disas ter. Gamata - Carleby is situate on the main in East Bothnia, the small sandy island of Erigma sheltering it on its western front. Where a landing was endeavoured to be effected, the shore rises so gra dually that our steam-ships were nearly two miles off, and so had not the slightest opportunity of throwing either shot or shell amongst the enemy ; and what could our boats 'do with only `Nelson's Revenge' (a gun so named used in launches, Ic.) and musketry against a foe armed with artillery and 'mortars ? Had we gun boats of a light draught of water another tale would have been told. I have been told that the old Pigmy and Otter have arrived to act as gun-boats, but they wont do, they would not bear the concussion of heavy metal; and I understand that the Otter is leaky already. before firing a shot. If such is the case, of what utility will she be ? And; if I am informed correctly, the new gun boats are to draw, about 12 feet of water ; this is at least five feet too--much. What we want are strong vessels, able to carry heavy metal, with a good beam, rather fast, and not to draw more, at all events, than eight feet of water, and then we would be able to show the Russians what we mean." The astern Counties Herald publishes the fol lowing_letter from the .Gamla Carleby interpreter between the Russian and English prisoners :- -" GA]stt.4 CARLEBY, June 12.—0 n the 7th June, in the afternoon, we sighted two steam-frigates entering the north channel with boats about sounding. About 9 p.m. they anchored in the roads. At 11 p.m. ten larger and smaller boats left the ship, and one with a flag of truce came to the pier head, having a document in Swedish eontaiiiing different questions, in reply to which we stated that our instructions were to hold no communication with them, upon which they stated that i I they wished to come and see the town, but permission wao`.refusecl. The lieutenant at once went to the boat, and returned to the others laying at a distance, and is reported, to have said—' Now, my lads, we shall have some fighting, load your guns ;' and at the same moment the flag of truce was hauled down. One of the boats then advanced to reconnoitre, and passed very near Halkokari -= -Our -- artillety- consisted of two guns, and the .troop; 'lay concealed behind the deals piled upon the wharfs: The boat returned-again to the others lying off Neustkari, when they all began to advance towards Halkokari again, hat at a greater distance than before. When the major who commanded our troops , perceived ,Oat ,they were ,preparing foreetion, be ordered our artillery -to open, fire upon them. The first boat appeared to' sustain much damage; the actiod now be came general, :the-beats kept up a sharp fire, and ap peered to approach nearer to Halkokari, but after an engagement of abeutan hour began to retreat. One of the boats took the ground upon the wreck of Aielguist's vessel. Upon this being observed, several of our small boats put off And' took 'her. She contained 28 men, out :of which five were killed, six uninjured, and the rest more or less 'wounded. 'Another was shot and fell overboard,, but his body was picked up the next day. • The mate, Nathaniel Murphy, was first wounded under the arm, and, according to the account of the men, he partly undressed ,hirnself, apparently with the intention of jumping overboard, and then stood up on the boat and said to them, I can do no more for you, lads, you must now help yourselves.' At the same moment a cannon ball struck him, and he fell dead in the boat. When the boat was brought to the canal it presented a fearful spectacle—it contained a 241 b ho witzer, and a quantity of small arms. General Wendt, who was present, desired me to ask the crew if any officer was amongst them, to which they answered in the affirmative, but that he was killed. The prisoners were taken to the Town-hall and carefully attended to. The day before yesterday v those -of the wounded that were able to move about, expressed themselves thankful for the kind treatment. they had received, and upon my in forming them of the adjutant's request that they must prepare 'themselves AO be removed to Helsingfors they replied that they were able to walk, upon which I in formed itheiti that a conveyance would be provided, when they laughed and said they could never have expected so much-consideration, -Six of the killed were interred the same day : nine more remain in hospital and are carefully attended to by Dr. Hillstrom. The cannon taken from the boat has been sent to Helsingfors. The steamers were the Odin: arid Vulture—the boat was from the latter." . FORTIFICATION OF ST. PETERSBURG.- RUMOtTRED JOURNEY OF THE CZAR TO THE CRIMEA. The Weser Gazette quotes letters of the 19th from St. Petersburg, stating that the Emperor has set out .for Kiew, where Marshel Paskie witsch has been ordered to meet him. It. is currently believed at St. Petersburg that the marshal 'is in disgrace.. After a week's stay at Kiew, the Emperor will, it is said, proceed to the Crimea to inspect such of the fortresses of the Black Sea as are still in the hands of his troops. The fortification of St. Petersburg is proceeding rapidly, and troops are constantly ar riving there on their' way to Finland. Count Orloff, who was 'wounded before Silistria on the '2Bth ult., ha- just received the Russian order of St. George of the 4th class. The Ilam,burgh Correspondent gives the follow ing Russian bulletin, dated St. Petersburg, June 20 : "The Commander-in-Chief of the corps of the Caucasus and of the troopir stationed in Asia, has sent a copy of a letter, dated the Bth, from Lieutenant-General Androni kow, who commands the division of Ghuvi and Acbatzik. The lettersnys : 'I have just received a letter from Colonel Korganoff, announcing a victory over the Turks, by the advanced corps under the orders of Lieutenant-General Prince Tristow. The corps had taken up its position near the ports of Nigoitsch, a body of Turkish troops being, ac cording to intelligence received, on its march to that point. In this glorious engagement, of which we have no par ticulars as yet, the Turks lost two pieces of artillery, and suffered other considerable losses. Hassan Bay was killed. The flight of the Turks was so precipitate that even their WO/110p were taken 'prisoners. 'rile fugitives were pursued to the distance of five wersts.' " THE RUSSIAN ARMY OF OCCUPATION. A. letter of the 24th, from Vienna, says :—The retrograde movement of the Russian army is no longer doubtful, but the character of this retreat still remains a .mystery. A letter from Bucharest states that the evacuation of Wallachia and of its capital, will take place on the 26th, or the 27th at the latest. By superior orders, the archives, the public treasury, the functionaries, and the Walla chian militia are to follow the movement, which thus appears to lose its political character to as sume that of a pirely strategical combination. Although nothing is yet positively known of the raising of .the siege of Silistria, it is known that the Worki have been interrupted since the action of the 13th, and all military men agree in regarding - as impossible the prolonged occupation of the right bank of the Danube, with the offensive movement which is every day expected by the army of Omer Pacha and the auxiliary troops. ODESSA. A letter from Odessa, of the 15th, states that nine persons, among whom were two Russian officers, had arrived in that city, from whence they were to be conveyed - under an escort to St. Peters burg. Those indiViduals, accused of having set on fire the military and naval magazines at Cherson, had been sentenced to imprisonment for life, although they pleaded their innocence to the last. The authorities, it appears, wished to inti midate the population, whose dispositions are hostile .to the Government. Those unfortunate victims, 'Who all belong to the wealthy class, had asked to be allowed to travel in carriages, at their. own expense, and accompanied by their fami lies. That favour, however, was denied them, and they performed the journey on foot like common malefactors. MARCH OF THE FRENCH ARMY TO ADRIANOPLE. We extract the following from an Adrianople letter of June 14 : "It may be doubted if in all Europe more beautiful or more fertile territory is to be found, or a soil which, though neglected, affords more abundant supplies of the fruits of the earth, than the part of Turkey between Gallipoli and Adrianople. Any one who sees the mag nificent valleys of the Carrack. the Erkeneh, and the _Maritza, will easily understand why the Russians are so anxious to get possession of them, Neither the most richly cultivated 'counties of England, nor the richest plains of Normandy, approach the valleys of Ronnielia in fertility and. •beauty. Wheat, vineyards, barley, and oats, in profusion, cover the plains, while - the hills grow most magnificent timber, fit for all uses. Wherever the French soldiers passed, and in all the places where they halted or bivouacked, the comforts of the troops were complete—perhaps too complete. The peasantry arrived from all sides at the camp, bringing bread, milk, eggs, poultry, and wine, and all this at a pribe so excessively moderate that there was not a soldier who might not, it he chose (and few lost the opportunity), have his poule au pot several times in the course of his eight days' tnarch f um Gallipoli to Adrianople. The result of so much good feeding, and so many over-abundant libations, might have been seri ous, had the commanders not taken timely precautions, and reduced the orgies within sanitary limits. Never theless, it must be said that the discipline of the troops was not for one moment relaxed, Nowhere was there any outbreak of violence on the part of the troops, nor a single act of pillage. The poor Turks, in fact, hearing that an army was about to pass throu g h th e i r peaceful country were at first — disposed to fly. They now re main in their towns and villages and are open-m ou th e d in their praises of the French, whose name was hitherto almost as great a source of terror to' them as that of the Russians themselves. "During the whole distance from Gallipoli stores of provisions for the meu and cavalry had been provided at different points by the activity of the commissariat. At all the halting places the muzdir, or mayor of the place, waited upon the command e r o f the forces, to offer his assistance in providing for the necessities of the troops. The ben encamp under small Cliouan tents, which every soldier carries in his turn in his bag. The camp was always pitched outside the tents and villages. No sooner was the bivouac installed for the night than clouds of Greek, Turk, and Jew vendors of all manner of luxuries invaded the camp. " Bono vino" has already passed into the language of the natives. Some of the French soldiers speak a little Turkish ; the regular in terpreters assisted from time to time ; and amongst, an extraordinary jumble of tongues, the business of all parties was managed a merveille. "Adrianople is the second city of the Turkish empire, of which it was at one time the capital. It is generally reckoned to contain 100,000 inhabitants, but in reality it contains only 80,009. Situated at the confluence of the Maritza (the ancient Ebee) and the Todja, it is spread out in the midst of pretty gardens and trees, partly on the side of a pretty hill, and partly on the pl a in. Seen from a certain distance, it appears to be nothing more than a mass of verdure, from which the minarets of its thirty mosques rise majestically. The Minaret of Selim 111., built about the commencement of the 16th century, is the principal work of architecture in the place. Its immense cupola, supported by eight columns of 20 feet, and 100 feet high, is of a boldness and grandeur almost equalling the Pantheon. Towards evening, at the mo ment when more than s,ooo — believers, kneeling under the light of 900 lamps, invoke Allah, it presents a sight of which no idea can he formed. "The arrival, at an intervalof three days, of the first French columns put the whole of the population in com motion on all the roads through which the Chasseurs-h -pied, the Chasseurs d'Afrique, the Zouaves, the Turcos, and the infantry of the line passed. An immense crowd of men, women; and children—Turks, Greeks, and Ar menians—in their holiday costumes, assembled to admire the martial air of the French troops. " General of Division Bosquet, commander of the troops at Adrianople, arrived on the Bth, along with the 3d battalion of Chasseurs-a,pied and the 12th regiment of General d'Allonville's cavalry. On the 13th General Bouat's brigade of infantry arrived. The rest of the 2d division will soon follow, along with the artillery. Be tween this and the 20th upwards of 15,000 French troops will have assembled at Adrianople. The troops, after hay ing passed through Adrianople, of which the passage re. encam p e d outside the tent, quires more than an hour, on the road to Schumla, and on the borders of the Tod' ja, precisely on the spot where the Russian, arm,' en camped in 1829. General Bosquet, like General Die, bitscb, has his b e ad- quarters i n t h e o ld serag li o ; an d , round him, in ,the island of the seraglio, bivouac the • infantry of the line. This land is a most beautiful place, planted with trees, now a hundred years Old; the shade of which keeps up a delicious coolness and : freshness. The cavalry is encamped on the great plain of Hadji Dossun, separated from the island of the wear lio by the _Todja. A wooden bridge will unite 01,0 two parts of the .camp. The Greek who. has undertaken) the construction is the same who, twenty-five years sr , made - a similar bridge, preciselfitt - the sifte pladO e ' r the Russians. Strange destiny ! Perhaps the very. same timbers are employed." APPREHENSIONS AS TO THE CONDTO OF AUSTRIA. _ The Paris correspondent of the Times, wrifil l g , yesterday, says—l mentioned yesterday that what"' ever may have been the ground Of the apprehen-• sions entertained in some quarters as to the firni" . ness and perseverance of Austria in the conduct, traced by the four Powers, there were symptonl e : of these apprehensions subsiding. Whether We change has been the result - of explanations with the. Cabinet of Vienna, rendered necessary by the an - • nouncement of the evacuation of the Danubian Principalities, and the reasons assigned, but not confirmed, for that evacuation, it is evident that. in the same quarters a different and more favour' able view is now taken of things in general.' Indeed, it is remembered that no act of Austria has occurred - CO - ju - stify suspicions of her truth ; and honour, or which would indicate that she has , any thought of profiting by her present or future position to do what would place her under tbe ban of Europe, and render her name a by-wor d I —desert the cause to which she is bound by 1 0 , many solemn engagements. It is represented tha t her occupation of the Principalities is in virtue of a Convention with the Turkish Government, with" out pressure of any kind being exercised on thew , and with the advice and consent of the represents", tives of the Powers Who . have already, taken 1 6 1 , 1 ) arms for the Sultan. - The object of those who sign the Quadruple Treati was to protect the integrity , of the Ottoman territory and compel the evacuation of that part of it which was occupied by the invader' If the Russians refused to quit they would be com pelled to do so by Austria ; and if they quit before the application of force becomes necessary, Austria • is to take care that the invasion shall not be i _r e peated. This she is perfectly prepa re d to do, if, an t e has not done so already. But the tr e aty to whic h she is a party does not oblige her to carry the war acros the frontier with England and France, „n or to attack the Russians on their own territory. 11 e r ,, occupation of Wallachia is to protect the Turk' s ' territory against the enemy of the Sultan, and is; therefore, an act of hostility against Russia, and of sympathy and aid towards the allies. It is in an cordance with her obligations to the German Stet° and to the rest of Europe. In the interest of the former it opens up the navigation of the Danube , and it relieves the Turks and their allies fro° the necessity of defending that important line' Her double obligation to Europe and to Germany seems, therefore, to be so far fulfilled by the mop e' merit in Wallachia , and if Russia, for t h e purpose of exciting suspicions of her good fai" chooses to assign a pretence for mere evacuation of the invaded territory, it is unfair that Austr is should be suspected of duplicity on that account* With an Austrian army holding the Principalitie s against the Russians, England and France will b e at liberty to carry out the object for which they have taken up arms. The interest of Europe; which places Austrian troops in Wallachia, cag e the maritime Powers to another quarter and different element. No treaty obliges Austria tO send a* squadiou to the Euxine with the allied fleets but she does an act which leaves them a t liberty to proceed thither. She opens the Danube; their duty is to free the Black Sea, and she render s , quite as good service by occupying the attention 0 2' the enemy in one qua r t er , w hil e th e fl ee t s are a r tacking him in another. The giant is nearly PO I " trate ; Austria holds him to the ground, while the others may despatch him at their leisure. Su ch , teems to be the view taken now, and I repeat tba on clue reflection it is not thought th a t there exis t° any good reason to doubt the rectitude of Austria. FRANCE.
