Ego P last Mr. Williams, warehou seman of F l ridi: E y . London, who was here for the benefit of his health, w on Countisbury.hill, very near the edge of the cliff, when the earth g slid away under him, and he fe ll p reci p it ously to a depth of 100 feet, and fortunately alighted on a point, 200 feet above the beach, on which he was unobserved by anybody. He lay for several hours, until the master of a small vessel sailing along shore observed a hat on the beach, and fearing some accident had happened, hoisted a fin. This called out a boat, the crew of which, after long search, discovered a human body suspended on the cliff, and having returned on shore, ascended the hill, and let down two men with ropes, who tied a rope round Mr. Williams, by which he was with great difficulty raised up, having lain in his most perilous situation for six or seven hours. He was quite exhausted. Being taken to Lynniouth restoratives were applied, and he soon revived. He was found to have escaped without having a broken bone, but was much wounded and bruised.— Western Lonsissory.

The Lords met at Five o'clock. Earl BATHURST brought up the report of the Select Committee on the Dublin and Galway Railway Bill, They reported that the most systematic frauds had been had recourse to, to procure the requisite number of signa tures to the subscription contract, and they had decided not to inquire further into the Bill, without directions from the House. The Earl of BESBOROUGH then gave notice that he should, to-morrow (this day), move that the Bill be no further proceeded with. Lord BROUGHAM then recurred to the question of pri vilege, to which he had adverted on Tuesday evening, and said; that after the explanation of Mr. FRENCH+ the preceding evening, he had no desire to trouble their Lordships further in the matter, reserving to himself the right of proceeding criminally, if he thought fit, against the Times and Morning Chronicle, which last paper had published the offensive speech, and had also offensively commented on his conduct. After a few words from the Earl of WIcKLow, the mutter dropped. Lord CAMOYS brought up the report of the Committee on the Runcorn Railway Bill, finding the preamble not proved. In answer to Lord MONTEAGLE, The Duke of WELLINGTON said that some measure was in contemplation to alter the present mode of swear ing witnesses before Railway Committees. Lord CAMPBELL suggested that Committees of the House of Commons ought to have the power of examining witnesses on oath. Lord BROUGHAM moved a resolution that an address be presented to her MAJESTY, praying that she would be graciously pleased to give directions that the new Houses of Parliament might be ready by the beginning of next session. The motion, which was supported by Lord CAMP BELL and the Earl of WICKLOW, and opposed by Lord WHARNCLIJFE, the Duke of WELLINGTON, and Lord SUDELEY, was lost, on a division, by a majority of 24, there being—contents, 16—non-contents, 40. Lord WHARNCLIFTE moved the second reading of the Lunatic Asylum Bill. The Duke of RICHMOND opposed the motion, and pro , posed that the Bill should be referred to a Select Com mittee. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that a clause in the Bill had passed through the House of Commons by mis take, and therefore it would be better not to proceed *urther with the Bill. A message from the Commons was here announced, requesting their Lordships to expunge the clause in question. A long conversation followed as to the courts to be pursued in such a case, and it was ultimately arranged that the second reading should not be proceeded with, but that a new Bill, identical with the present one, with the exception of the clause in question, should be in- troduced and read a first time. This was accordingly done, and the second reading was fixed to-morrow (this day.) On the motion of Lord STANLEY, the Commons En closure Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed on Monday. The Colleges (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. Several other Bills were forwarded a stage, and their Lordships adjourned. The Commons met at twelve o'clock. The Cpal Duty Bill was read a third time. On the motion that the Bill do pass, Sir JAmzs DUKE moved a clause authorizing the pay• ment of a drawback on coal carried in bargea to the west of Staines. The clause was opposed by the Government, and lost on a division, the numbers being for the clause 24 against it 37. Mr. HtmsE proposed the omission of the clause im• posing the penny duty. This motion was likewise lost on a division, the numbers being, for the motion, 24 ; against it 41. The Bill was then passed, after an energetic protest on the part of Mr. HUME, against the consideration of measures such as this Bill at the morning sittings. The Small Debts Bill (No. 3) was reported. The Church Building Acts Amendment Bill passed through Committee. Mr. B. DENISON moved that it be an instruction to the Committee upon Group X of Uailway Bills, that they have power to divide the London and York Rail way Bill into two or more Bills, if they think fit. Viscount COURTENAT explained the course which had been adopted by the Committee, and which had rendered this motion necessary. Mr. P. M. STEWART remarked on the irregularity of the proceedings of the Committee. After a few words from the SPEAKER, also com menting on the irregularity of the proceedings of the Committee, the motion was agreed to. The Stock-in-Trade Bill was read a second time. Upon the motion that the House should go into Com mittee on the Brazilian Slave Trade Bill, Mr. M. GIBSON called upon the Government to hesi tate ere they passed a measure calculated to involve the country in a war. Sir R. PEEL defended the measure, and, after some discussion, the House went into Committee on the Bill. The whole of the clauses were agreed to, and the House resumed. Several Bills were then advanced a stage, and the other orders of the day having been disposed of, the House adjourned at Half-past One o'clock. One of the strongest objections made to the Irish Colleges Bill, by those friendly to its great principle of united education, has been the absence of provision for an University to confer degrees on the students of the colleges. But there is at least this advantage in leaving the question of the university unsettled, that the door is not shut against an ultimate connexion of the new Irish colleges with the existing University of Dublin, and at the end of three years it may be easier to effect this arrangement than it is now. We are glad to infer, from some words attributed to Lord SrANLEY in the Committee on ate Bill on Tuesday, that the Government are not pledged against an affiliation of the University of Dublin. Lord STANLNY is reported to have said—" Perhaps the most satisfactory course, on some accounts, would be to affiliate the new colleges with Trinity College, Dublin ; but their Lordships would be aware that there were difficulties in the way of such an arrangement. Then came the question whether the new colleges ought not to be associated as a separate Univer sity, the general meeting to be held either at a distinct place, or alternately at one of the colleges. It would obviously be highly desirable, upon this and other points, that the opinions and wishes of the governing bodies, and for this . and other reasons delay seemed not inex pedient." The Government then have not made up their minds, and it might be much worse. If the Irish Colleges Bill had contained a provision for an University, we have no doubt that it would have been a new university. On every ground it ought to be the present University of Dublin, of which, properly, Trinity College is only a college, as Trinity College, at Cambridge, is a college of the University of Cambridge ; or Trinity College at Oxford, a college of the University of Oxford ; though being, contrary to the original intention, the only college, it has engrossed the government, and mo nopolised the privileges of the University of Dub!in. Does Josil BULL, who has already been called on to pay 100,000/. down, and 21,000 L a year for the three new colleges, know that he has not yet got the whole Bill, if there is hereafter to be a new university ? There must be a staff of examiners, who must be paid salaries, and who, though they will only be called upon to examine twice or, at most, four times a year, while the professors of the colleges will have to lecture during the greater part of the year, will not receive salaries less than those of the professors in proportion to their lesser amount of work ; for it will be necessary to have examiners of even higher calibre than the professors of the colleges, and a higher scale of salary will be neces sary in order to get a good man. Then, too, there must be prizes an d ex hi bit i ons in connexion with the examinations for degrees, as there are in the University of London. Now the University of London costs the public 4,500 L a year ; and a new separate Irish univer sity would not cost the public less. The whole of this additional expense 'would be saved THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAI MORNING, JULY 28, lA4B. by opening the endowments of Trinity College and the professorships of the University of Dublin, as the degrees of the University are open, to Catholics as well as Pro testants, and making the new colleges c, lieges of the University of Dublin. The fellows of Trinity College and professors of the University would then serve for examiners, and Catholics as well as Protestants being fellows and professors, the Catholic popu lation of Ireland would feel no distrust of a Dublin board of examiners so constituted. The saving of expense would be the least advantage of such an ar rangement. The existence of two distinct Universities, one accounted the Protestant and the other the Catholic University, would go far to counteract the healing effects of these new mixed colleges ; and while Trinity College tind the University of Dublin stand in proud isolation, there will be danger of a mark of inferiority attaching to the new colleges, and of what is intended for a boon to the Catholics of Ireland being but a new sign of their degradation. After all, what a farce it is to pretend that the exclusion of Roman Catholics from the endowment of Trinity College is necessary to its assumed object of the education of Protestant clergymen ? Assuming this to be the object of the College, but assuming it merely for the sake of argu ment, why is the exclusion of Catholics from plirticipa tion in endowments necessary, if their exclusion from participation in education is not necessary ? A Pro testant clergy can be educated in communion with holders of other creeds, and the restriction of endow ments to Protestants is nothing more nor less than a pretence. The House of Lords is passing the Irish Colleges Bill at a railroad pace, which must wofully disappoint Sir ROBERT INGLIs, if he built his hopes upon " another place," and which proves, if proof were needed, the eagerness of that House to do the bidding of Sir ROBERT PEEL. If the Bill had come from a Whig Government how would the House hare resounded with imputations of " Godlessness," and how nearly would this excellent Bill have been thrown out, which is now passing without a division We have published a letter from several owners of Spanish bonds, which we are unwilling should pass too readily out of observation, simply, on the ground of its alluding to that which is matter of notorious and inces- sant complaint. Our correspondents are desirous that the intervention of the Legislature and the Government should be exercised to compel the payment of their coupons or dividends. It is unfortunately quite needless to enter into any recapitulation of the long series of dis graceful violations of the public faith of Spain, and com promises of the personal honour, as well as moral character of the Ministers composing her Governments, which have followed in quick succession upon the ad vances of British capital made within the last twenty years, with a view to the maintenance of her public establishments, and upon her own incessantly-asserted pretext of upholding her national credit. in modern history it would be difficult to find a parallel to the generous enthusiasm, the undoubting confidence with which the monied community of Great Britain came forward to assist Spain in the regeneration of her po litical institutions. They did so mainly on the imagined guarantee they should realise in the grateful fidelity to their engagements of a people for whom and with whom our own soldiers and sailors had so often fought and bled, in contending against the common enemy of the liberties of Europe. On her part, Spain was not back ward in binding herself by the most solemn obligations, and under public acts and conventions of the most stringent character, to the faithful discharge of the pecuniary liabilities she had thus contracted by reason of the confidence reposed in her by the monied interest, as it is called, of that nation which had been her faithful ally and her victorious champion. It seems as if FERDINAND VII. on his death-bed had bequeathed to the nation, together with a disputed succession to his throne and a civil war, the infamous legacy of his own utter faithlessness, his self-convicted and shameless falsehood, his reckless ingratitude, and his open repudia tion of honesty and honour. A more profligate cor.- spiracy to defraud and pillage foreign capitalists was never concocted than the whole scheme under which the various operations of the Spanish finance administration were conducted in the greater part of the period we have mentioned for raising money in London upon Spanish bonds and " securities," as they were called, surely in bitter mockery. Millions of English capital have thus been abstracted, never to be returned. Mer chants, bankers, brokers, traders, whose names stood high upon every exchange in Europe, prior to their con nexion with the Spanish funds, have been driven from station, influence, wealth, respectability, and over whelmed in hopeless ruin by the wholesale bankruptcy of Spanish honour, wherever a contract was to be ful filled, or a promise to pay to be redeemed. What were the pleas which Spain recorded in the face of Europe in extenuation of this degeneracyof her faith— this abandon ment of her integrity—this contempt for truth? These:— The derangement of her natural resources ; the poverty of her people ; the decay of the trade, the stagnation of her colonial commerce ; the political distractions by which she was consumed ; the destruction of all con fidence between the various classes of her people ; and the consequent unproductiveness of her revenue. But all these pleas have been falsified by the abundant supplies which her profligate Governments have succes sively obtained from taxation for all the multiplied pur poses of domestic intrigue —court factions—foreign agencies—secret service—the corruptions, the venality, • the vengeance of Camarillas—the personal luxury and the private and official establishments of the royal widow of "the worst of kings." Was an army to be debauched? A " Regent" to be supplanted by the same blow that was to upset a Constitution? Was a minion of royalty to be feted—a populace to be intoxicated with brutalising shows and pageants—a Minister of principles too im practicable for the atmosphere of Madrid to be ousted? When and where, in the last thirty years, was money wanting to the authorities of Spain for any such pur poses? No service was starved in Spain —except that of the public: no cause permitted to languish for want of money—except that of the country: no petitions to the throne to remain unredressed—but those of the people. Now, when we look upon the immoderate sum extracted annually by the Queen-Mother, CHRIS TINA, from the impoverished treasury of Spain; the costly wages of treachery and cabal appropriated to such creatures as NARVAEZ ; the sumptuous civil list of the young Queen Regnant, ISABELLA ; and the state and splendour maintained by the Spanish Court, in melancholy contrast to the misery of the Spanish people ; shall we be told that the English holders of Spanish Stock shall not be paid the interest on their coupons ? It is high time that our guilty for_ bearance on the subject of Spanish dishonesty should cease. If the Finance Minister will not provide the money to defray the interest on these coupons, or can not, letour Government insist on its being contributed out of the appropriation to the enormously dispropor tionate Civil List of Spain, the " secret service money:' the " Royal Pensions," and the Menus plaisirs fund—if need be,—of the QUEEN-MOTHER and the Senor Muxoz• The Spanish bondholders have a claim which no British Minister can safely resist, for the vigorous interference of the British Cabinet on their behalf with that of Spain. Madrid journals to the 16th inst. have been received. We find in the Gaceta a bulletin dated Barcelona, the 12th, and signed by General NARVAEZ, announcing that the Captain- General had just returned, after restoring order wherever it had been disturbed, and leaving several columns to pursue such of the rebels as had fled to the mountains. The bulletin added that, on the 17th, the QUEEN would proceed by sea to Valencia, and that troops had been marched to that town. According, however, to a more recent communication, the Court had, in conseqaence of the re-establishment of order in the province of Catalonia, determined to proceed, on the 17th, to Saragossa. which place they were expected to reach on the 20th. The Ministers remaining at Madrid still intended to be at Saragossa, on the 24th, in order to compliment the Queen-Mother on the occasion of her birth-day. The claims of the Infante Don HENRY to the hand of the QUEEN are viewed with increased favour every day. La Guia del Commercio supports his claims in the most enthu siastic manner. At a meeting of the editors of the Pro gressista journals held on the 15th, it was agreed that they should give no opinion on the subject of the QUEEN'S mar riage, and that they would not propose any candidate of their own. The kingdom was perfectly tranquil. The Three per Cents. closed at 29 for cash, and 2914 at 60 days. he other securities were not quoted. We have received the Paris papers. They all publish the article from the Moniteur Algeria on the subject of the massacre at Dahra. This article may be considered as the official defence of the transaction, and in it the responsibility of the whole affair is thrown on Marshal BUGEAUD, inasmuch as Colonel PELIS SIER " had only used the means recommended to him by the Governor-General." The article appears in the Govern ment papers without a word of comment, but the Oppo sition journals animadvert on the conduct of Marshal BUGEAUD in terms of just severity. We give the following from the Commerce as an example of the tone of the Oppo sition journals on this occasion : " When so cruel an act takes place in the course of a war by the force of danger, and the urgent necessity of defence, humanity is afflicted, but the excuse goes hand in hand with the evil. It is another thing to prepare beforehand, to calculate and command cruelty as a means; and, what is still worse, is to attempt to justify by cold reasoning such a system of warfare. Marshal Bugeaud says that philanthropy would render war impossible. This may be ; but without a certain degree of Onanthropy war becomes odious and abominable." On the subject of the rumoured landing of a Turkish force at Tripoli, the Journal des Debats says:— " It is well known that every year, about the same period, it is regularly rumoured that the Ottoman Porte is preparing an in vasion of the regency of Tunis. The Turkish fleet had, in fact, the custom of annually cruising in these latitudes ; it was an exec. ciao which appeared to have become necessary to it. This year nothing is said of the fleet, but a land expedition is spoken of, and it is reported that a considerable body of Turkish troops has been lauded in the regency of Tripoli, to enter by that road into the territory of the Bey of Tunis. We can easily comprehend, and indeed we share, the interest which all that concerns the safety of the Tunisian territory excites in France. It is certain that our own security, as possessors of Algeira, is intimately connected with any events that may take place on this part of our frontier ; and up to the present time, whenever the Ottoman Government has appeared desirous of making a demonstration on that side, the French Government has shown, by sending out some men-of. war on the coast, all the interest which it took in the mainte. nance of tranquillity in the Regency of Tunis. As to what con cerns the pretended plans of invasion by land, we believe that they are as exaggerated as were formerly those of a naval expedition. However, they are not without foundation ; and this, if we are well informed, is what has given rise to the reports in circulation. There is at present a war going on, on the frontier of Tunis and of Tripoli, between two tribes, which dispute with each other about a portion of territory; It would appear that the Porte has determined to seize on this opportunity to make an act of intervention, and at the same time a sort of taking possession on the territory of Tunis, and that in consequence, as the report goes, she has for this object sent rein.. forcements to Tripoli. In fact, news had been received that for some time past Turkish troops were landing at Tripoli, by detach ments of from 200 to 400, and even 800 men. We do not believe that the Porte really wants to make a serious demonstration, nor should it, besides, be believed that an invasion of the regency of Tunis is so easy a matter. Men who have studied the ground with care affirm that a Turkish army, unless it were a very con siderable one, far rove considerable, indeed, than the actual re sources of the Ottoman empire afford, could not traverse with safety the eighty leagues which separate 'Tripoli from Tunis. We are therefore persuaded that more importance is attached to the projects of the Porte than they merit. But, however that may be, we have no doubt that the French Government has already deemed it right to address to its Ambassador at Constantinople precise in structions on the point, and to have all the representations that were necessary made to. the Divan. At aq events several vessels have been sent to Tripoli, and two ships of the line to Tunis." In relation to this subject a letter in the Presse states that the Porte's intention in landing troops at Tripoli is to attempt a coup de main on Gerbi, and then to effect a rising in the south-eastern part of the regency, with the view of marching against Tunis. The Presse announces that the QUEEN of Spain left Barce lona on the 18th, for Saragossa and the Basque Provinces. The Globe, alluding to the reports in circulation about a dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies, has the fol lowing " All that bas been said on this subject is the most gratuitous and improbable invention. Undoubtedly, no one can pretend to know the future; but, unless corns event should occurvadically to change the present situation, it would be difficult to explain how the Cabinet could hope for a firmer and more united majority on all the great questions." The Duke and Duchess of NEMOURS are to set out to-day on their journey to the Pyrenees. Their Royal Highnesses are expected to be at Gueret on the 26th inst , at Limoges on the 28th, at Libourne on August 4, and at Bordeaux on the sth. Their Majesties will not take their departure for En until the commencement of August. The celebrated violicist ARTANIT died of consumption at Ville d'Avray, near Paris, on the 20th inst., at the early age of 30. The KING gave a dinner, on Sunday, at Neuilly. Among the guests were the Duke DE RIANZARES, M. D. CORTES, Secretary to the QUEEN ; the Chevalier BRESSON, French Ambassador to the Court of Spain ; the Prince D'ANGLONA, and the Duke D'OssuNa. His MAJESTY conversed a good deal with the Duke DE RIANZARES and M. D. CORTES, who, it is said, declared to his MAJESTY that the health of the Queen of SPAIN would not permit of her being married at present.

PORTSMOUTH, JULY 24.—The first division of the 76th left here this morning, for Manchester, and will be replaced by the 68th Light Infantry, from Dover. Th e report of Sir Thomas Hasbury's being appointed to succeed Captain Bolder° at the Ordnance-office has given great satisfaction here. The want of a naval officer in that department has long been needed, and frequently impressed upon the Government by Sir Charles Napier. Rumour assigns also the command of the Excellent to Captain Chads, an officer who served with much gal lantry in China. WAKEFIELD. PONTEFRACT, AND GOOLE RAILWAY.— We are authorised to state that the preamble of this Bill was proved on Wednesday, and the promoters allowed 'o commence the works immediately between Pontefract and Goole, and between Wakefield and Pontefract immedi ately, by " consent in writing of the landowners," until application is made to Parliament for the branch to Leeds, when full compulsory powers commence. The " Admiralty Memorandum," introductory to a supplementary vote, "to provide for an increased retirement allowance to 300 Captains of her Majesty's Navy," and which we published in our impression of on Wedn(sclay, appears to us (on the cursory perusal we have yet found time to devote to it) an exceedingly judicious and wise scheme of compensation and reward, and to be well calculated to secure to the country an immediate supply of efficient officers, of ages at which their professional and physical powers may be sup posed to have attained their full vigour and maturity. We shall speedily recur to this important paper. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.)

There are no arrivals to-day. The English Stock Market is very quiet, and there is no particular alteration in prices. Consols have been 99 to % for Money, and 99 1 4 for Account. Exchequer Bills have been 545. to 565. premium. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 102% 1+ Business in the Foreign Market is very inactive. Spanish Three per Cents. have been firmer at 37 3 / 4 , and Peruvian have been up to 38 1 ,4 to 39. The market for Railway Shares has been vacillating again ; and what with the London and York decision, and the anxiety about the broad gauge, there is certainly enough to occasion fluctuation. There i s a new foreign line-the Central Sardinian-about to be brought on the market. Respecting Railway investments, a writer says :- " The combined exertions of private persons, unburdened by the patronage and unrepressed by the interference of the Executive Government, have made still greater conquests over nature. Stuns of money, so vast as to startle the un derstanding, have been contributed, and in the main profita bly to the subscriber, for the construction of railroads, which in so undulating a country as England must needs be nearly level, filling up valleys and preforating mountains, which could not avoid impediments by sudden curves, and which had every physical difficulty aggravated, and the pecuniary cost greatly increased by the restrictions of the Legislature. By means of thetas railroads distances, which at no very re- mute period required four days to travel by the common roads, are now traversed with ease and certainty in ten hours. More than 2,000 miles of railway have been constructed within twenty years, at an expehse of nearly seventy millions of pounds, volubtarily contributed by individuals, in the exer • cise of their own discretion, subject to their own control, and with a view to their own profit—a view which, if sometimes disappointed, has beer generally realised, and often to an ex tent tar exceeding the most sanguine expectations of the speculator."

No. CLXV. July, 1845. Besides the article on "Luther's Correspondence and Character," which we have already alluded to, this number contains some other interesting papers. The review of the book entitled " Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation" is one of these. But, inasmuch as to give extracts from it would only be to propagate the crude and unphilosophical speculations of a work which has had the inexplicable good fortune, as it seems to us, of attaining a fourth edition, we prefer quoting the fol lowing summary by the Reviewer, premising that we ontirly concur in its judgment :—" We conclude then that our author's work is not merely shallow and super ficial, but utterly false, throughout, to all the principles of sound philosophy. Of all the books we ever read, it puts before us the largest congeries of positive misstate ments and positively false conclusions. But it is plea santly written." Mrs. Norton's " Child of the Islands" is a well-merited eulogium on a very pretty poem by this gifted lady. The " I3okhara Victims," by Capt. Grover, is a pleasant paper on the little volume of the amiable but somewhat excitable friend of the unfortunate Colonel Stoddart and Capt. Conolly,—and the indefatigable ally of Dr. Wolff. Ile is very hard on all the authorities of the Foreign-office, and their diplomatic and other agents abroad. " Aloliere" is an admirable essay on the genius, writings, and times of the greatest of French dramatic writers ; but we could not quote detached passages from so able a piece of d rama ti c cr i t i c i sm w i t h out do i ng great injustice to the author. " Macgregor's Commercial Statistics" we have ourselves reviewed at great length. The Edinburgh gives to the indefatigable author of these valuable collections a well-merited and unstinted measure of praise. The concluding article on the Oregon ques tion is one that we regret to see in the pages of a pe riodical generally so justly renowned for the sagacity and good spirit of its political speculations. This paper is really a failure—and a perverse one, too—on a subject of much national interest. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.--YESTERDAY. Of the many horses returned on Monday, as having been most prominently in favour, Boarding-school Miss, Pythia, and lEgis, alone were backed in earnest ; of this trio of fillies the first-mentioned had by far the most numerous party, and, as will be gathered from the subjoined quotations, with a most important influence on her position. Lothario was also in de mand, indeed was the only horse in the Goodwood lot that was at all fancied. Rowena, Wee Pet, and Europa, were not named, and Queen Mab and Venus were only mentioned at nominal prices.

His Majesty the King reviewed th e t roops to -d ay, which composed the garrison of this town and of Delft. His Royal Highness Prince Frederick William, co-regent of Hesse, was present at the review. ST PETERSI3URCII, JULY 12.—The Russian Invalid publishes a bulletin of the 21st of June from the Cau casus, from the camp, not far from the fortress of the Dutschnoje, in the Kyrk PasQ. This report, however, contains nothing but accounts of marches and ma nceuvres, quite uninteresting toper sons unacqua i nted w i th the ground, excepting the account of an engagement on the 1 ith of June by which the Russiuns made them selves masters of the Antshimegsr mountain, a very im portant post in the military operations in those parts. In that engagement the Russians had seventeen men wounded and nine killed. The enemy, 3,000 strong, fled as soon as the attack begun. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.
