IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. —(THIS EVENING.) Their lordships assembled at half-past 4 o'clock. ROYAL COMMISSION. The Royal assent was given by commission to the following bills :—Excise Duties, Customs Duties, High Treason (Ireland), Cry stal Palace Company, Exhibition of 1851 Commissioners. A number of private bills also received the Royal assent. The Lords Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, Earl Delawarr, 4.nd Lord Stanley of Alderley. The following bills were read a second time :—Stock- port, Disley and Whaley Bridge Railway ; Dublin and Wieklow, and Dublin and Kingston Railways ; West London Railway ; Bangor and Carnarvon Railway ; Selkirk and GalAshiels Railwap. The following bills were read a third time and passed: —North and South Western Junction Railway ; Tralee and Killarney Railway ; Horncastle and Kirkstead Junction Railway, Leominster and Kingston Railway. On the motion Of Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY, the Customs Duties (Sugar and Spirits) Bill and the Excise Duties (Sugar) Bill were read a second time. OFFICE OF THE MINISTER OF WAR. The Earl of MALMESBURY asked the intentions of her Majesty's Government respecting the public buildings intended for the department of the Minis ter for War and the Secretary for Foreign Affairs. He said there was a rumour that the war department, with all its plant, was about to be removed to the office now occupied by the Enclosure Commissioners, in Whitehall-gardens, and he complained that such an arrangement wuuld be a great sacrifice of the public in terests, as an immense mass of valuable maps and docu ments, which could be seen by the public on the pay ment of a small fee, had been collected at this office, over several years at very great expense. He understood the papers of the Enclosure Commissioners, which amounted to no less than 50,000, were to be removed to a house in St. James's-square ; and as this would in volve the stoppage of the business in the office for a con siderable period, he hoped the Government would con sider whether some other arrangement could be made for the accommodation of the Secretary of War, without interfering with one of the most useful offices in London. The noble earl also complained of the disgraceful state of the Foreign-office, and the inadequate accommodation it provided for the business of that department. The Earl of ABERDEEN said, when it was deter mined to separate the War and the Colonial departments, it was found necessary to have the new War-office in the immediate neighbourhood of Downing -street and the Horse Guards, and the only two buildings belonging to the Government there were Gwyder House and the house occupied by the Enclosure Commissioners. (Hear, hear.) As the former was occupied by the Poor Law Board, which was in constant commu nication with the Home-office, and the chai rman o f which had to attend t o his duties in the House of Commons, it could not be given the Secretary-of-War, but the enclosure commissioners were not in the same situa tion, and it was found that they could be removed with out any material inconvenience to the house in St. James's-square, which they themselves suggested would be peculiarly suited for them. Of course, however, if the inconvenience mentioned by the noble earl was found to arise from their removal, which he did not anticipate, the proposed arrangement of the 3overnment would not be persevered in. As to the foreign office, he quite agreed with the noble earl that it was in a disgraceful and even a dangerous state, and though a plan was in prepa ration for a new building, the Government were not prepared at present to propose a grant to Parliament for erecting one, but he hoped when the noble earl again became a tenant of the Foreign-offia) it would be quite St for his accommodation. [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS EVENING.) The SPE.A.K.EII took the chair at four o'clock. The following bills were read a third time and ordered to be considered :—Ayr and Maybole Junction Rail way, Perth and Dunkeld Railway, and Stourbridge Water works Bills. VALUATION (IRELAND). Sir R. FERGUSON moved for returns showing, in the counties in Ireland in- which the townland valuation has been completed, under the act 6 and 7 Will. IV., c. 84, the name of each county, the acreable contents, the annual value, the cost of the valuation by the acre, the cost by the 101. of the valuation, and the date when it first came into force in each county : Of similar details as to each county of which the tenant valuation has been completed, under the Act 9 and 10 Vic. 110, and 15 and 16 Vic. c. 63 : Showing, in each Poor-law Union in Ireland, in which the tenement valuation is in force, the narne of each such union, the cost (if any) of the valuation, &c. of such union above its share of the valu ation of the county, the date when it first came in force in each union, the number of revisions of each union which have been made under the 29th and 30th sections of the last act, and Ole date and cost of each revision, with the data of payment of each by the union : Of similar details as to any towns under the tenement valuation. And, statement of the progress and prospect of completion of the General valuation of Ireland, with the average cost by the acre, and by the 1001. of the 'valuation, comparing the townland valuation with the tenem ent. The motion was agreed to. NI- l e , ROYAL COMMISSION. ' ll ' ll4 /i, the Yeoman-Usher of the Black Rod, 'l ). Peared at the table and summoned the house to attend in the H a numb er o f bi lls. ouse of Lo r d s to hear the Roya l assent g i ven to The Speaker and several then repaired to the Hou se o f L ords hon. members The Speaker, on his return, announced the " 44 ° 3 of the bills, for which see Lords' report.

Mr. WILSON said, since the minute in question was passed, Parli ament had altered the legal size of a new:- paper, and the Secretary had in contemplation to in crease the weight in proportion. SCINE. Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE D asked the President of the Board of Control, whether he will lay on the table of the house the report of Mr. Pringle on Scinde, in which Mr. Pringle expresses his admiration of Sir Charles Napier's government of that province, and refutes the charges brought agai ns t hi m i n t h e report of the Board a Administration of the Punjaub, published in the Indian Blue Book. Sir r_i. WOOD said there was no report at the India Howse answering the description of the hon. member. BRIBERY BILL. In reply to Mr. LIDDELL, Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated that he proposed to take the committee on the Bribery Bill on Monday next. PUBLIC REVENUE AND CONSOLIDATED FUND CITAIZGES BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this bill, Sir H. WILLOUGHBY drew attention to the se ec"lkl clause, which proposed to alter the time of pub lishinrz the a nnua l p u bli c acco unts from 111 ire!' to July, which -he thought would prove a great inconvenience to Parliament, as the Leffislature would not ba in posses sion of the audited accounts until the session was draw ing to a close. Mr. WILSON said, under the existing system, the votes of the house were made for the year commencing the sth of April. and ending on the sth of April follow ing, but the public audited accounts were made up from Vie Ist of January to 31st of December. The object of the c Luse was to make the published accounts harmonise with the votes of the house. Mr, V. SCULLY did not object to the general prin ciples of the bill, but he complained that there were cer tain classes of payments which were now thrown upon the Consolidated Fund that were intended in future to be brought into the estimates. One of them was the charge for judicial offices in Ireland which he insisted ought to be exempted from the operation of this bill. He thought the bill ought to be reconsidered in a select committee, with a view to an amendment of the s.le dule. Mr. WILLIAMS rose and was [LEFT SPEAKING.] COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.--Jztly 1. IN RE CHARLES 3IATHEWS. His Honour to-day gave judgment on the question of certificate. He said—Mr. Charles Mathews, the emi nent actor, having become bankrupt, and having passed his last examination, applied for his certificate about a week ago, his application being not only unopposed, but supported by a paper signed by almost all his creditors, which was in these words :—" We, the undersigned creditors of Mr. Mathews, beg most respectfully to ex press our unabated confidence in him, and to request, if it be not improper in us to interfere, that your Honour may be pleased to award an immediate and high class certificate." This paper was signed by his largest cre ditor, Mr. Allcroft, and by the Marquis of Abercorn, also a large creditor, and by other creditors of amounts varying from hundreds to sums of 201. and under. I should have been glad to have relieved Mr. Mathews's anxiety at once, but I knew so little of the case, owing to there being no dissatisfied creditor, and therefore no discussion before me at any stage of the proceedings, that I felt it necessary to call for the papers and examine them at home. I have now done so, and am happy to find that I can comply with the wishes of the creditors and give him a first class certificate. (Applause.) The outline of his case is as follows-:—ln 1838 Mr. and Mrs. Mathews were induced by very tempting offers—offers which held out the realisation in a short time of 20,0001. and upwards, to go to America. They were at that time managing the Olympic Theatre, which had for many years been a successful undertaking. -Unfortu nately their voyage to America ended in entire disap pointment, and during their absence the Olympic ceased to be successful, so that the result was, that Mr. Ma thews, whilst gaining nothing in America, lost about 3,000/. in this country. Mr. Mathews seeing no hope of retrieving so great a loss at so small a theatre, was induced to accept an offer, seemingly very advan tageous, of a lease of Covent Garden Theatre, but after he had struggled through three seasons the theatre was taken from him, all , his theatrical pro perties were seized, and he found himself charged with several thousand pounds for rent, the justice of which charge, however, he never acknowledged. This com pelled him to have recourse to the Insolvent Debtors' Court, which granted him the usual relief. Unfortu nately, under the influence of a high though mistaken sense of honour, he was no sooner relieved by the In solvent Debtors' Court than he renewed such of his debts as he thought were justly due, by giving his acceptances for them to the amount of 3,0001. This, of course, in volved him in fresh difficulties, for the acceptances were passed to persons who had no scruple in suing upon them, and in a short time his difficulties were as great as ever, and in 1843 he found himself again obliged to apply to the law for relief. Relief was again granted, but unfortunately, unwarned by the past, he would not retain the protection of the law, but endeavoured, by means of Mr. Delafield, to make a private arrangement to pay his creditors 6s. Bd. in the pound, and, thinking he had arranged it successfully, he procured his petition to be dismissed. Mr. Delafield was prevented from cir cumstances, from performing his part, and Mr. Matthews was, in consequence, unable to pay the last instalment, the non-payment of which placed him in his old posi tion. His debts were revived. Meanwhile a capitalist had offered to assist him in taking the Lyceum Theatre, and so decorating it and furnishing it to wake it attrac tive, and having determined to engage in this specula twn, he spent a large sum, and incurred a large debt in carrying it out ; but, unfortunately, when the expense had been incurred, and the debt had to be paid, the ca pitalist failed, and Mr. Matthews found himself in greater difficulties than ever. Still he struggled on till 1851, when he found himself again compel!ed to invoke the aid of the law. His case happened to come before me, and lie sought relief : under a modern act, which provides for pri vate arrangements. At first I was impressed with the feeling that his case was not one entitling him to the pri vilege of arranging his affairs privately, but that lie ought to settle iu open court, and I refused to sanction the proceeding ; but upon having the case more fully inquired into by an accountant named by myself, and being furnished with full details by that accountant, I decided to protect him, and accordingly he was protected under that petition, on certain terms approved by his creditors, one of those terms being that the accountant named by me should keep the accounts of the theatre, and act as trustee of any surplus for the creditors. Under that protection and arrangement Mr. Mathews continued his theatrical exertions till the time of his bankruptcy, the Lyceum furnishing him and Mrs. Mathews with a moderate though decent return for their exertions, and paying its way till the Easter season of 1853 again brought him into difficulties from which his only rescue was, what he had been constantly though foolishly endea vouringto avoid, bankruptcy. I say, foolishly, because to an honest debtor bankruptcy is the best protection. It will be seen from the above detail, that his life from the moment of his departure for America to the present time has been a constant struggle with difficulties, diffi culties against which it was vain to contend, because he was always in the position of a man trying to swim with a stone round his neck ; he was overweighted with debt. He has been guilty of no dishonesty, no extravagance, that I can see. The only fault he had committed is one which, though in my opinion the greatest of faults—l had almost said crimes—public opinion will not regard as such, the fault or crime of flying in the face of the law on two occasions by rejecting its provisions and substituting his own notions of right, la 1842, when he applied to the Insolvent Debtors' Court, the law took all he had, but left his talents and industry unbur dened with debt ; he rejected this advantage and re vived debts to the amount of 3,0001., thus wronging him• self and inflicting a cruel injustice on his future credi tors. I say a cruel injustice, because no man has a right to commence a career which of necessity involves the incurring new debts whilst burdened with old debts which he cannot have assets to meet except such as may be obtained frim new creditors. Such a system is, in fact, robbing Peter to pay Paul. He repeated the same fault in 1843. He bad again obtained from the law that protection which was necessary to enable him to do jus tice to future creditors, yet he procured his own petition to be dismissed, and thus threw away that protection, and placed his new creditors again at the mercy of his old. I hope that he will not do so again. Indeed, if I thought he would, I would not grant him any certifi cate at all, for if I did I should feel I was entrapping future creditors. It may be difficult to persuade the world that such conduct is a crime, bui, in my opinion it is a commercial crime of a deep die, a crime which nothing could extenuate, except a warning to each new creditor, without incurring a new debt, that he had by his own act made that law, which professed so send him back into the world of industry a new man owing nothing, a mockery and a snare to new creditors. I give Mr. Matthews a first-class certificate with pleasure, and I hope his future career may be more fortunate in its pecuniary results than his former exertions have been. Of course if, after fulfilling all new obligations, he at any time found himself in possession of a surplus, which he could justly divide amongst old creditors, and his high sense of honour disposed him so to do, to such a course no exception could be taken. The decision was received with applause. Mr. Whitmore, the official assignee, reported on the case as follows :—The plaintiff was the lessee of the Lyceum Theatre, has been in difficulties since 1838, when, as lessee of the Olympic Theatre, he incurred a considerable loss, from the effects of which he has never recovered. By that loss, and by the loss at Covent Garden in the year 1842, he became so involved that in that year he was compelled to petition the Insol vent Debtors' Court, in which he got his discharge. He appears, however, to have renewed immediately afterwards many of his old debts, for which he gave acceptances, which, passing into the hands of third parties, the holders took proceedings upon them as they became due ; and in 1843 he was again compelled to seek pro tection, when he petitioned the Court of Bankruptcy as an insolvent debtor, under the sth and 6th Vic., cap. 116. This petition was annuled on the creditors agree ing to accept a composition of 68. Bd. in the pound. Mr. Mathews, however, was not able to carry that arrangement entirely into effect, and having already lost the protection of the Court by the annulling of his peti tion, his unsatisfied debts again pressed upon him. In 1851 he petitioned the Court, under the 7th and Bth - Vic., cap. 70, when an investigation was instituted, un der the direction of the Court, as to the origin of his then difficulties, which were ascribed by Mr. Mathews to his having been induced by the prospects of success, in which he had been disappointed, to incur a large out lay in re-decorating and embellishing the Lyceum Thea tre, and by the joint affidavit (filed upon the proceedings 9f Mr. Thomas, who prepared the account of Mr. Mathews it will amount to 9 , 3801 .) Mr. Mathew's pro position, under this proceeding, was to the following effect ;----- ~ That trustees should be appointed, to whom h- l" r ° ; 6 lß of th e threatre (which, from the great undis puted a ' au.l Of visitors to the Exhibition in 1851, were expected to reach a large sum) should be paid over for division a in common managers, miscalcu -r"Zfththe creditors.

The bankrupt has given all the as sistance required in the office of the official assignee. Mr. Mathews, in a printed statement dated Lyceum, May 5, 1854, has related the history of his case; the principal facts of which being vouched are embodied in this report. THE.SUN, LONDON, MONDAY RVENING 3 JULY 8, 1084 THE WAR. man, and one seaman, all relatives, are brought home in Ler. The schooner belonged to the captain's father, and was his only support for his old age. She is brought Lome under charge of Mr. Robert 11. Thompson, of the Dauntless, as prizemaster. Mr. Thompson reports hav ing experienced very bad weather on his passage home. The prize-crew of this vessel and Mr. Thompson have returned on board the Dauntless, except two petty officers, and both prizes proceeded for London under charge of Mr. R. Ivisen Hancock, of the Dauntless. A court-martial was held on Saturday last on board the Waterloo flag-ship at the Nore, to try the late sur geon on board the Wolverine, 12-gun sloop. Com mander John Corbett prosecuted. The prisoner made no defence. The Court found the charge to have been fully proved, and their sentence was that he be dismissed the service. SHARE MARKETS. (THIS DAY.) NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The following notice has been posted at the dockyard gates at Woolwich : BRITISH RAILWAYS. "Letters for the Baltic fleet will be despatchedby her Majesty's ship Dauntless on July 4. " Letters for seamen, marines, and boys serving in the Baltic will be forwarded by this opportunity, if posted in time, and marked 'By Her Majesty's ship Dauntless.' "The postage of one penny must be paid on the letter at the time of posting it." The Wolverine's crew were paid their advance on Saturday last. The Star, 8-gun sloop, Commander William - G. Luard, sailed on Saturday last from the Nore, for the Baltic. The Francesca, Captain M. Michelson, is reported to be at the Nore, taken for breaking the blockade. On Friday last a draught of the Coast Volunteers ar rived at Sheerness from Bristol. They have volunteered to go out to the Baltic to man prizes that require to be brought home. They are principally bargemen and boatmen, most of them quite unacquainted with square rigged vessels. They are to undergo drill on board the flag-ship, and the Dauntless will take a draught of them on her departure for the Baltic. The Vivid steam-vessel, Master Commander W. IT. Allen was taken out of the basin at Woolwich on Satur day, and is now moored in the stream ready for service. His Majesty the King of Portugal's steam-yacht Min delo, with the First Lord of the Portuguese Admiralty on board, arrived at Woolwich on Thursday, to remain in readiness to embark the King for a passage to Ostend, as his Majesty intends visiting King Leopold of Belgium at Brussels, previous to returning to Lisbon. The King of Portugal is expected to embark at Wool wich this afternoon. The departure of the Rhadamanthus paddle-wheel steam store ship, Master-Commander John Belain, has been postponed to Tuesday, as she is taking an extra quantity of stores onboard for Portsmouth, and is ordered to tow the Beaver steam-vessel, having the funnel of the Royal Albert, and the spare machinery of that screw steam-ship to Sheerness. The following appointments and promotions have been made : Lieutenants—George M. Leycester (1811), to the St. Vincent, 102, guard-ship of ordinary at Portsmouth ; Marcus Lowther (1844), Edward T. Parsons (1853), and Louis Geneste (1554), recently promoted from mate of the Excellent, to the St. Vincent ; Hon. W. E.

Thirty volunteers for the Royal navy were forwarded to London from Liverpool on Friday night, making about 80 despatched from that port during the week. The Marmion, hired ship to convey large guns to Constantinople for the service of the Sultan was taken out of the basin at Woolwich on Saturday, and will leave to-day for her destination. Captain Mortina;rAdye, Royal Artillery, leaves Wool wich Garrison to-day fur Manchester, to assume the command of the company at that station, to which he has just been promoted. From Plymouth we learn by electric telegraph that the 20th Regiment, stationed in that citadel, received orders yesterday morning to hold themselves in readiness to embark for Turkey, as soon as transports can be pro cured. The regiment will consist of 40 sergeants, 900 rank and file, and the officers. All the women and children remain behind. The depot will consist of four companies. The pilot-boat Perseverance reports the steam-ship Kangaroo off Plymouth, on Saturday afternoon, with troops for Varna. All well. Although the 46th Regiment, now quartered in Sheet street barracks, Windsor, are under orders to hold themselves in readiness for immediate embarkation, and were paraded on Saturday, in order to make an exact return of their strength, it is generally understood that they will not march from Windsor until after the 14th instant. The regiment will march, in the first instance, to Portsmouth. The 4Gth is still short of the number required for service com panies and depot. The total strength of the regi ment, including the guard at Kensington, is about 1,060, which must be made up to 1,200, either by vo lunteers or recruits. The Bucks Militia are making arrangements to relieve the 46th, several of the officers having visited the barracks during the past week, in -order to become practically acquainted with the garrison duties. _ _ . A detachment of the 15th Hussars, with the head quarters of the 94th Regiment, arrived at Chatham on Friday night from Gravesend, they having in the morn ing disembarked from the ship Earl of Hardwicke. The troops entered the garrison clean and fresh, considering they had been above three months on board ship. They were loudly cheered by the young soldiers, the band of the 94th playing " Home, sweet Home." The regiment left Chatham fur India in 1838. The strength of the 11th Russara detachment consists of 7 seijeauts, 3 cor porals, and 82 privates, with 3 women and 16 children, under command of Captain J. Macartney and Cornet G. 14 corporals, and 241 p r i vates, w i th 11 women T. Macartney. The 94th consi s t s o f 7 o ffi cers, 19 ser jeants, and 16 children. ;ta ents ftom Calcutta also arrived at the in valid depot, Chatham, from Gravesend, having dis embarked from the ship Queen. They left Calcutta on the 12th of March. The detachments are from the 14th Light Dragoons, the 24th, 29 th, - 80th, 98th, and 75th, making a total of 88 men of all ranks, with two officers in charge of them, viz., Brevet-Major .T. Power and Lieutenant F. Kneebone, 29th Foot. Three men died on the passage. The preparations for the siege . operations at Chatham are being carried on with vigour. The day fixed is the 13th of this month, and the Chairman and Court of Directors of the East India Company are to be present. The whole of the troops of the garrison will take part in the attack and defence. Five companies of the 63d Regiment left the Linen ball barracks, Dublin, on Saturday morning, and pro oeeded to the railway terminus at King's-bridge, and thence by special train to Cork. The garrison of Dublin is now reduced to two, instead of six regiments of in fantry, the latter having been the ordinary complement for many years past. The report of these troops being replaced by English militia has died away, and it is even said that there was never any intention of sending a portion of the latter to do duty in Ireland. A detachment, consi,tin,, of SO men, of the 12 th Regi ment, at present stationed °in the Cork garrison, pro ceeded to Queenstown at 11 o'clock on Saturday, by the Prince steamer. Th e detachment was accompan i e d b y 27 women, who h ave obtained p e rmission to proceed to Australia with th e regiment. FORMATION • OF A CHANNEL SQTJADRON. (Prone th e Hanzpshire Telegraph.) A. formidabl e channel squadron i s or d ere d to b e f orme d immedi ately, and pl ace d under the command of Rear- Admiral Berkeley , , C. 13 Senior Sea Lord of the Admi ralty. The ships to coMposed it are to assemble as soon as possibl e at Spithead. We believe this measure indi cates the intention of Government and Sir Chas. Napier in the Balti c, and Admiral Dundas, in the Black Sea, to make an immediate and vigorous attack on the for tresses in th ose seas, and if possible reduce hem. Rear-Ad m i ra l Berkeley arr i ve d a t t hi s port to -d ay, and has visited the dockyard. Orders had already been received for sending the St. Vincent, 102, Capt. G. A. Elliott, and the Powerful, 84, Captain Manse!, out of harbour to Spithead. The first-named ship was accord ingly towed out this afternoon, the flag of Rear-Admiral Martin being transferred to the Illustrious, training ship, Captain Harris. Provision lighters have gone out to the St. Vincent to-night, to fill her up, and la bourers from the yard are to be sent out in this service to-morrow. The Powerful had bent sails and had the tugboats alongside, and, indeed, had cast off from her hulk, when Admiral Berkeley ar rived on the jetty, and hailed her to make fast again, which she did. She will, however, fol low the Sc. Vincent. The Algiers, 91, screw steam ship, C retain Talbot, sailed from Plymouth yesterday for Spithead. The Termagant, 2i, screw, Captain the Hon. K. Stewart, is ordered to prepare for sea imme diately, also the Sphy-ex, 6, p::ddle, Captain Clifford. Shipwrights and men belonging to the steam factory are at work on these two vessels late to-night, and will be all day to-morrow. The Colossus, 80, screw, Captain R. S. R o bi nson, is ordered to be out of the hands of the docky ar d as soon as possible. The now screw vessels Curacoa, 3 0 ; Har r i er , 16 ; an d S wa ll ow, 8, are to be thisrslanradmaetd i s port copperedto form r part ead y o f t o t squadronhe comeu o t the got forward of dock. We have enough ships at home to form a new powerful squadron, and the only ddliculty in the way will be that of manning them. This difficulty will, how ever, we believe, be got over. There has been a little I relaxation of late in the endeavour to enrol men ; but, if energetic m-Asures be again adopted, we anticipate they will succeed- This afternoon some two or three van loads of seamen arrived by train and were taken to the dockyard, • MORE TROOPS FOR THE EAST. Yesterday the following regiments were ordered to mbark immediately for Turkey, to reinforce the British my n the Black Sea : 2d Dragoons (Scots Greys), 4th Light Dragoons, 20th Regiment of Foot, 21st de. do. 34th dc. do. 46th do. do. 63d do. do. Ist Battalion of the Rifle Brigade. Every one of these regiments is prepared to embark at a day's notice. Each regiment of infantry will embark 1,000 rank and file, besides officers, non-commissioned officers, drummers, band, &c. The Rifle battalion will be 1,200 rank and file. The infantry will form a fourth division, with a general and two brigadiers, the latter to be selected from the senior colonels of the regiments. No general of division is yet appointed. It is not un likely that Sir George Cathcart (who is daily expected) may arrive from the Cape of Good Hope in time to take the command. The whole of the troops will go out in steamers, and will proceed direct to the Black Sea with out making any stoppage by the way. The Himalaya, which has just returned to Southampton, in eleven days, from Varna, whither she had carried the sth Dragoon Guards, with 320 horses and some 500 infantry, is now quite ready to convey another cavalry regiment, horses and all, and a large portion of infantry besides. The other cavalry regiment will probably be taken out in the new steamer of the Peninsular Company, which has been just tried in the Southampton Waters, and ordered to be fitted out for the conveyance of horses. The 2d and 4th Dragoons will not be formed into a separate cavalry brigade, but will be added one to each of the cavalry brigades already with the army. The two cavalry bri gades in active service will then consist of five regiments, instead of four regiments each. The entire British land force in the Black Sea will now consist of something like 50,000. Before this last addition there were 31 regi ments, besides artillery, staff, commissariat, &c. Each of these regiments is now at least 1,000 strong. Last week 450 men and 12 officers of the Guards were em barked to reinforce the three battalions at Varna, 150 men to each battalion, to bring them up to 1,000 men each. Letters were received yesterday at the War-office, giving the most cheering accounts of the health, condi tion and spirits of the expedition. We learn also that the French continue to send large reinforcements from darseille3 and from Africa to their force in Turkey, which by this time, on the Black Sea, the Bosphorus, and the Dardanelles, is little short of 100,000 men. We hear a great deal of the vast legions of the Czar, amount ing to from 400,000 to 600,000 men ; we do not doubt that they are numerous, well officered, and well drilled ; but he seems likely to have full employment for them all.-- Obserrer. Rear-Admiral the Hon. M. F. F. Berkeley, C. 8., M.P., First Naval Lord of the Admiralty, arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday afternoon, and proceeded im mediately to Portsmouth Dockyard, to have an inter view with the Admiral Superintendant and the naval staff. Th© first thing done was to get the ordinary depot ship St. Vincent out of the harbour to Spithead, and this was accomplished in the smartest manner. The flag of Rear-Admiral Superintendent Martin was trans ferred from her to the Illustrious, 44, training ship, Captaiii Harris pro tent. The ordinary officers and crew of the St. Vincent will be turned over to either the Nelson or Princess Charlotte, advanced sailing three deckers, in this harbour ; and Rear-Admiral Martin will hoist his flag in one or other of these as ordinary depot ship. The Powerful, 84, was to have gone to Spithead, but the St. Vincent having to be got out first, owing to her larger draught, and the tides taking off, she was prevented going until this day, when we be lieve her crew (now numbering 450) will be turned over to the St. Vincent. It is, we are informed, intended to prepare at least six large ships, which will take on board at Cherbourg 1,000 French troops each for con veyance to the Baltic. In order to afford more accom modation to the troops, the ships will not carry their lower deck guns. Orders were received at Sheerness on Saturday last to get out all the lower deck guns, carriages, &c., of the Hannibal, which has been done, the officers and crew being engaged all day yesterday in doing so. Provi sions for 2,000 men for 80 days, and ships' stores, ammu nition, shell, &c., are now being taken on board her. On Saturday morning last another trial of a very satis foctory nature took place ; at 2.30 a.m. she slipped her moorings and proceeded down Swin as far as the Maplin lighthouse. She continued running up and down Swin, trying her machinery in every way, until nearly 5 p.m., when she returned again into harbour. Her average speed during this trial was 10 knots 6-10ths, or better than 101 nautical miles per hour ; the number of revo lutions she made per minute varied from 28 to 34, giving an average of 31 per minute. Her pressure of steam per square inch was from 101 b. to 161 b., and a most fa vourable report is male as regards her machinery in general. The gutta percha communicating tubes from the extreme ends of the ship, both bows and quarters, on every deck, leading thence into the engine -room, have been found on this trial most advantageous in threading between ships and vessels while running up and down Swin, the orders being conveyed into the engine -room from the commanding officer in a fine full tone, and the answer returned up from the engine-room immediately should any reply be necessary. There can not be the least doubt that, with common care, the engi neer on watch has at a moment's notice the entire machi nery under perfect control. Mr. Patridge, superintendent of steam machinery at Woolwich dockyard, attended of ficially to report upon the general working of the ma chinery. The engines were under the immediate control of Mr. Thomas Bullions, Chief Engineer. It is expected to be Wednesday or Thursday before this ship can be stowed ready for sea. She will convey French troops to the Baltic. In consequence of orders received yesterday, the Royal William, 120, Captain Kingcombe, now in liamoaze, is to be got ready with all despatch. The crews of the Impregnable, 104, Indefatigable, 50, and Meander, 44, are to be employed and victualled on board to expedite her fitting. Sails, boats, and sea-g o i ng stores were drawn on Saturday. Commodore Stopford and Mr. Eddy, the master shipwright, have been per sonally inspecting the progress of the work. If possible, she will go into the Sound on Tuesday. It is said that she is to be used for the conveyance of French troops to the Baltic. The Sphynx is engaging the marked attention of Ports mouth Dockyard. Men from the steam-factory were at work all Saturday night and the whole of yesterday, by which exertion her steam was got up yesterday after noon, and a trial made of the working of her machinery in the steam-factory basin ; and, all being found sound, she will be moved into Portsmouth harbour at three o'clock this morning. Upwards of 50 additional hands were also employed yesterday on the screwships Colos sus, Termagant, Harrier, and Swallow, these being the next to be finished for sea at Portsmouth. The following officers have joined the Royal Albert at Sheerness :---Lieutenant Sir Malcolm M'Greo'ur ; Lieut. James H. Curtis, l a t e o f th e W a t erw it c h ; Master W. R. Madge ; Assistant-Surgeon John Gunn, late of the Ireperieuse ; Clerk George Lappidge, late of the Arethusa ; Clerk's-Assistant Mr. Dufaur ; Captain of Marines C. W. Adair ; First Lieutenant of Artillery Company Nugent Macnamara ; Second-Lieutenant Melville Luther ; Third Lieutenant Le Grand ; a draught of first and second class boys has been sent on board from the Waterloo. Vice-Admiral the Hon. Jocelyn Percy, C. 13., com mander-in-chief at the Nore, struck his flag on Saturday last, and Vice-Admiral the Hon. W. Gordon hoisted his flag on board the Waterloo, with the salutes usual on a change of flags. Lieutenant Horace Bullock, late Third- Lieutenant of the Waterloo, is appointed Lieutenant Mail agent in a contract mail steam-packet, at Bouthampton, and left Sheerness on Saturday last to take up his ap pointment ; and John H. Cook, late paymaster, is placed on the retired list of paymasters, after serving his country in all climates for more than half a century. Mr. James Lyall, paymaster of the 27th of March, 1833, has taken up his commission and joined the Water loo. Up to this time no other change has taken place with her wardroom or gunroom officers. The Dauntless, 33 guns, steam-frigate, Captain Alfred P. Ryder.—Orders have been received for this ship to convey the mails to the Baltic fleet. Up to Saturday eight very large mail sacks had been forwarded, and yes terday two other very heavy mails arrived, and have been put on board. The following supernumeraries, now on board the flag ship at the Nore, are to take passage in the Dauntless to their respective ships in the Baltic, viz. :—Mr. D. B. Pack, of the Odin ; Mr. E. F. Dillon, of the Bulldog ; and Mr. W. J. Baker, of the Cruiser, prizewasters. Assistant-surgeons—Mr. Hefferman, to the Imperieuse; Mr. Morton, to the Archer ; Mr. Smyth, to the Rosa mond ; and Mr. Atkinson, who is placed at the disposal of the Admiral of the fleet. Clerks—E.

J. Ellis, to the Royal George ; Mr. Glaville, to the Boscawen ; Mr. Omman ney, to the Duke of Wellington. In consequence of the Dauntless taking in provisions and storey f,r the fleet; &c., her time of !cavity , will be delayed till to-mo rrow or Wednesday. The Dauntless,' it is reported, will again shortly return, and her officers and crew be turned over to another ship With engines and machinery of a more modern construction. The followinnr vessels have arrived at Sheerness, seized for breaking the blockade—viz., the Danish schooner Union, from Schleswig for Memel, in ballast. The master, mate and carpenter came home in her ; the re- R Riga for -Norway, l rnainder of the crew were left at Faro. She was taken sloop w ; a a a ls t o ak t e h n e I, A .•iga.

MANCHESTER, June 30.—Th a t upwar d t en d enc y 1 , 11 prices which a more genera l d emand for yarns and gc° l gave rise to in the early part of this month, and which was very sensibly felt last week, may be said to have pro• ceeded somewhat further in the present week. Spinne r° and manufacturers are generally asking rather more than before for their productions, but it is evident that boys" are rendered more cautious by the rise. Although buyer° find the market remarkably free from the stocks of the medium and lower counts of yarns, and spinners ar e mostly well supplied with orders, yet they begin to hest' tate about payin g an a d vance w hi c h i s now 4 d. to id . a nd in some ki n d s Id. per lb . upon the late lowest prices . and there is a similar tardiness in agreeing to a corre sponding addition to the quotations for printing cloths, shirtings, and domestics ; but, as there is evidently growing demand, manufacturers exhibit the greatest firmness.
