SUIT. 4,4* Ai ,LA LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 16, 1853. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has brought forward a "Supplementary " Budget. It will be seen from the amended resolutions, of which the Right Honourable Gentleman has given notice, and which appeared in our impression of yester day, that he has, in some degree, modified his ori ginal plan respecting the. Stamp Duties on News paper Supplements. This change is by no means satisfactory to the Leviathan, inasmuch as in place of gaining the entire 40,0001. per annum for it self; it is obliged to be content with 25,0001. per annum as its share of (we will not call it bribe, oh I no, that is only for the smaller fry), the " gratification so generously announced by the Financial Minister, but a portion of which he now shabbily withholds. Nor is it merely that the balance is abstracted from the coffers of the Times ; but, still worse, there is a chance that other journals, perchance rivals, which, in point of accuracy and promptitude of intelligence, cf ability of argument, and in tegrity and consistency of purpose, might enter into sharp competition with the Thunderer, may reap some considerable advantage from the modi fication. This is touching our " big brother" on a . peCuliarly tender spot ; it is establishing a double raw of a very aggravating charac ter—abstracting from its coffers—bad; transferring to those of the Morning Advertiser, the Herald, the _daily News ! !—worse and worse ; but encou raging these organs of public opinion to publish additional sheets, and thus to encroach upon the position assumed by the Jupiter tonans of Print ing -house-square ! Horrible ! infamous ! ! atro cious !! ! Nothing more abominable could be contemplated, much less carried into practical exe cution. And this vacillation or ingenious deception of the Right Hon. Gentleman is the more provok ing, inasmuch as full and valuable consideration had been given forthe anticipated boon. Was it for such a result that our ponderous contemporary had exhibited such shameless tergiversation on the Pro perty and Income Tax Bill ? Was this treatment befitting a journal that had loved " not wisely, but too well," abandoning for the ingrate the in terests of the industrious classes which it had pro fessed to advocate ?—uttering a scarcely audible remonstrance against the equal taxation of every description of income, and the placing upon the same foundation the precarious and fluctuating earnings of industry, and the fixed and per manent proceeds of accumulated and rea lised property ? Was it for this that such remarkable agility was displayed in shifting the ground upon which it had previously unfolded its banner—and where it professed to have " nailed its colours to the mast." Oh ! GLADSTONE ! GLADSTONE ! thou bast much to answer for—and your temerity is scarcely less remarkable than your cunning. But retributive justice awaits thee—an avenging Nemesis attends I thy footsteps—only wait for the first opportunity, and then thou shalt experience the punishment due to so heinous an offence—verily, " much dirt shalt thou eat," and that before the termi nation of the present Session ! Though the Income' Tax be carried, other questions remain, affording suitable occasions for the well-merited castigation, and the vindication of the majesty of the offended Thunderer. The golden opportuni ties will not be neglected or misapplied. When did the Times ever forgive or forget au injury ? more particularly if anything rendered the offender helpless, unable to resist or to resent aggression. But it may be asked what has been the offence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer ? What has he done to merit such severe censure ? The answer is easy-Ist. He has limited the indul gence to a single supplement, still retaining a halfpenny duty on any further additional supplement, printed as such, containing a superficies not excee di ng 1,148 inches. The dupli cate addition which our contemporary h a d f on dly looked forward to as a matt er o f f requen t , if not of every -day occurrence, has thus received a a n d heavy blow begreiaat discouragement. If it ap pears it must numbe r , and a halfpenny only will be saved on each has abandoned the una alubnerutara.lite distinction which But, secondly, he in the first instance, he between Supple of nee4i.sements, and ments consisting altogether of wmasteresting to those containing some portion W r u e u s l t c li c ted rimstill the community in general. If theboonit according to the original intention, be almost exclusively applicable to the Fashion is a strange thing. The run at prese n t is unquestionably in favour of that journal, and it could, therefore, fill such a sheet with announce ments which, under ordinary circumstances, other newspapers would have difficulty in doing. The removal of the undue and incomprehensible re striction would render the privilege available, to a large extent, by other periodiaals, and, for that reason, it was the :pore distasteful to the one whose virtual monopoly may be thereby endan- gered. But passing from Stamps, let us turn to an other and far more important point. We find that the Right Honourable Gentleman still per severes in his intention of retaining a sixpenny duty on Advertisements. We had hoped that the remonstrances of the periodicals of every shade and variety of public opinion, together with calm and attentive consideration of the subject, would have induced Mr. GLADSTONE to abandon so paltry, but at the same time so vexatious, an impost, which will necessitate the maintenance of all the machinery now in opera tion for levying the tax. Why should newspapers, periodicals, pamphlets, and literary works be taxed, while omnibuses, monster vans, and dead walls escape free ? Why should there be any im pediment to the publication of notices that might procure occupation for the unemployed, or relief for the destitute ? Why should we not facilitate announcements which may bring vendors and, purchasers together, and thus indirectly increase the revenue by the addi tional cougumption of exciseable or taxable arti cles. The impost is universally admitted to be unwise and impolitic, and it is vexatious and annoy ing. Why, then, should any portion be retained, mere especially after the resolution of the House o.f Commons for its complete abolition ? No adequate cause can be assigned for this trumpery proceeding. We trust that the Right Honourable Gentleman the Member for Manchester will be true to himself, and that he will once more call upon the independent Representatives of the people not to stultify themselves, but to follow up the victory they have achieved, and to teach the Financial Minister that he must respect their de cisions—that he is only the servant, and not the master, of the popular branch of the Legislature. It is lamentable to reflect that slimmer has again arrived without due regard being had to the necessity of sanitary preparations. True, un doubtedly, that much good has been here and there accomplished in the metropolis since Viscount PALMERSTON was appointed by her MAJESTY the principal Secretary of State for the Home De partment. But regarding even under the best light those judicious Orders in Council by which certain of the more detestable among the intra mural graveyards have been closed against any further interments the system has not been absolutely or entirely uprooted. The benefit imparted to the community, in other words, has only been partial in its operation. It has not diffused itself over the whole mass of the metro politan population. Numerous pits of corruption are still reeking with the stench of pestilence in some of the most crowded localities of London and Westminster. Until it be rendered rigorously punishable by the law to bury the dead in the midst of the living, we cannot reasonably congra tulate the capital upon being relieved from the curse of one of its most grievous abominations. It were idle, therefore, to make too much of the meritorious work already accomplished. We shall abstain, consequently, from pronouncing over it any panegyric whatsoever, until the whole scheme of extramural sepulture has been to the full realised. Whenever the warm weather arrives, the tables of mortality for the metropolis reveal in a lament able manner tho deteriorating influence of the detestable graveyards upon the atmosphere res pired by the population. How this happens to be the case cannot remain long subject of marvel, when it is remembered that the corrupt soil around our churches is being continually stirred up by the sexton's spade and mattock. If left entirely to itself to rot away into pestiferous exhalations, it would be dreadful enough. But with its decom posed substance broken up, and shovelled about, and stirred and stirred perpetually, like the horrid ingredients in the witches' cauldron, no wonder the effects are shown by the Registrar's statistics from week to week to be most calami tous and most melancholy. No - wonder that with all this foul mass of earth, and flesh, and crumbling boards around them and underneath them so many of the parishioners assembled together for the worship of the DIVINITY should be infected with the breath of a subtle and invisible destroyer ! No wonder that their dear brothers and sisters departed—whose remains are rapidly decomposing under their very nostrils---should become the unconscious instruments of their destruction ! It lis an old story. A story so old and so often I repeated, without having yet adequately in fluenced by its moral the consciences of the com munity and the Government, that we may almost be forgiven if it at times we begin to despair of witnessing the dissipation of the evil by the substitution of ultra-suburban cemeteries. Peti tions have been presented time and again, in this matter, to both Houses of the Imperial Parliament. Committees of inquiry have sat, and their reports have been after wards published. Blue books and pamphlets have competed with each other in in structing those who might still continue ignorant of the real importance of the subject under discussion. Speeches have been delivered, lead ing articles have been written, lectures have been read, books have been produced—all tending to show the imperative necessity of some legislative interposition in this matter with a view to the improvement of the public health, to say nothing about the dictates of Christianity or the interests of civilisation. A regular com mission, in fact, has been organised. Gwydyr House has long been the scene of its deliberations. It has sent its inspectors and its sub-inspectors, its engineers and its assistant-engineers, here, there, and everywhere, not only in the metropolis, but in several of the provinces in like man ner. Elaborate details have been collected. Plans have been drawn up, and expenses cal culated. Substantial works have now and then been actually commenced. And yet— In what better position is the community at large at this moment, after all this talk and stir about efficient drainage, about extramural inter ment, and about proper ventilation We believe the back slums of London and Westminster ate still the scenes of horrible squalor, destructive disease, and odious degradation. We believe the low lodging-houses are still crowded with wretched inmates in the same harrowing state of filth and indecency as when some of them were penetrated by the Earl of SHAFTESBURY years ago, while he was still Lord ASHLEY—the vermin rattling down upon his hat, like peas, from the ceiling. Thousands and thousands in the very thick of this great capital are even now, we believe, wholly ignorant of the miseries endured daily and nightly in these sordid dens of sin and wretchedness, not withstan ding all that has been said and written of late years about the sufferings of such vast numbers of their fellow-creatures. It cannot be surprising therefore, that among these portions of the community there should be apathy upon a subject of the real import ance of which they have no adequate consciousness. But with the Lords and the Commons it is otherwise. With the Ca binet it is different. Aware, as they are, of the magnitude of the evils complained of, it might reasonably have been expected that some benefi cent efforts at reform would have been adven tured upon in this matter by the Legislature and the Administration. The necessity for interposition is every day becoming more imperative. Let us still continue to hope that it may come sooner than could be expected, judging simply from the disappointments we have experienced. DEPARTURE OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE DE GENOA.—Yesterday his Royal Highness the Duke de Genoa, and the gentlemen of his suite, accompanied by the Marquis d'Azeglio, Sardinian Ambassador, and Col.

Mdme. Emile Girardin's last and best comedy, Lady Tartuffe, which was produced at the St. James's Theatre, for the first time last night, was so thoroughly successful in Paris, and yet met with such varied, though on the whole favourable, criticism, that we can scarce venture to pronounce a decisive opinion on its merits as a dra matic work, from the impressions of a first representa tion only. As any one would guess from its title alone, it has for its subject the intrigues of a female hypocrite, and though Mdme. Girardin has repudiated any idea of connecting her play with the great work of Moliere, except by similarity of name, yet, on comparing the two, the basis of both is so identical, and the rela tions of cause and effect throughout both so com pletely the same, that we cannot resist the im pression that it was the original Tartuffe which first inspired Madame Girardin with the idea of this female counterpart. This same similarity of name excited con siderable wrath among some of the Parisian critics, who charged Madame Girardin with inordinate presumption, and a rash desire to provoke comparison between her own and Moliere's comedy. Beaumarchais, they said, had tried the same experiment—he had called one of his comedies L'Autre Tartuffe, but not even his sparkling and witty conception could overcome the almost religious horror with which the French public contemplated any invasion of the domain of their illustrious artist ; and he was obliged to change the title to save the play from failure. Madame Girardin's experiment was more suc cessful, and we can scarce help thinking that the title did much to help the piece. The plot of the piece, so far as it can be told on paper, is soon said. Madame de Blossac, the Lady Tartuffe, having conceived une verita ble passion for Hector de Benneville, contrives by a skillfully sown slander to break Off an intended marriage between him and his pretendue , Jeanne de Clairmont. At the same time she has adesign upon the Marshal d'Estigny, an old retired diplomatist, and the guardian of Jeanne, whom, by her clever con summate hypocrisy, she induces to offer her his hand and fortune. In both these designs she is assisted by the Baron des Tourbieres, a witty cynical, yet, withal, a good-natured vaurien, whom, by means of a debt of 20,000 francs, she has completely in her power. The Baron, however, is not utterly lost, and having obtained the means to release himself from her power, he turns against his former protectress, and, assisted by Hector de Renneville, he succeeds in turning the tables on her, establishes Jeanne's innocence, and convicts Lady Tar tuffe of a former faux pas. She, being discovered by the Marshal in Hector's apartment, whither she has come to declare her passion for him, falls, but falls bravely, tearing and wounding her persecutors, like the wolf of Mr. Macauley's lay. Such is the short outline of the plot, and the machinations of a character on which Madame Rachel has lavished all the force of her genius ; and, so far as the success of last night was con cerned, we think it was due more to her wondrous powers than to the sympathy of the audience with the piece itself. Regnier, too, as des Tourbierds, acted to perfection, and his burst of triumph wh en freed from the trammels which bound him to the hypocrite, called forth more enthusias tic applause than any of Mlle. Rachel's more highly wrought points. We must not forget to mention the grace and simplicity of Mlle. Palmyre's a cting as Te hanne, which was everything the part could require. We shall go more at length into the piece itself on a future occasion, when our first impressions have been corrected by a further acquaintance with the play as an acting comedy. M. PULSZKFS LECTURES. M. Pulszky delivered his second lecture on archaeology and history of ancient art at Willis's Rooms yesterday. The branch of the subject chosen on the occasion was confined to the monuments of Nineveh, Babylon, and Persepolis. M. Pulszky commenced by giving a very pleasing description of the peculiar characteris tics of Assyria and Babylon, and then drew an in teresting comparison between them and Egypt. This was followed by an account of the habits of the people, showing that the irregular habits of their shepherd life could never lead to the foundation of large cities, nor the establishment of important governments. M. Pulszky then referred to several ancient authors in proof of this statement, as well as the sculptures in the Louvre and the British Museum, which also demon strated that, in Assyria, the King was everything, and the people were nowhere represented; but in Egypt the midale classes were found to be of more importance. Ho then observed, as a curious fact, that in the sculp tures found at Nineveh, women were not to be found, but they were seen in those of Egypt, in the pro cessions, in concerts, and occupied in educating their children. A similar difference is also found in religious matters, for the Assyrian Kings were the high priests, and the temples were their palaces, while in Egypt the temples were more important than the King's palaces. The Assyrians adopted Egyptian ideas, but they always perverted them. For instance, the vulture, among the Egyptians, was the emblem of victory. The Assyrians placed the vulture close to their Kings, but they also made it sometimes tear the bodies of the slain ; and at other times the winged globe, that in Egypt represented the sun, the Assyrians transformed into a guardian angel to their Kings. M. Pulszky then traced the progress of art in Assyria, from its rise to its decline, in a very interesting manner, and com pared it with that of Egypt, where the artists drew their outline more correctly, and did not overcharge it so much with details. The buildings in Egypt were contrived to produce grandeur of effect by large broad masses, while those of Assyria obtained an imposing effect by their great height. Some very curious remarks were made with respect to the way in which the reading of the cuneiform character was discovered at the same time by different persons. Then came the question as to how far those inscriptions could be depended on ; and M. Pulszky described an inscription in which it was stated that the King had sent to battle three generals successively, each of whom was stated to have destroyed the rebels, and at last the King himself went, when it is recorded that he beat and crucified his foes, which the lec turer said no doubt was the truth, while in the former instance it was equally certain that the generals were beaten. M. Pulszky, after illustrating this part of the subject, at some length, concluded his very agreeable and instructive lecture by observing, that lying was the inherent vice of despotic courts. The whole of the address was listened to with marked atten tion by a very genteel audience. MISS GREENFIELD'S CONCERT. Miss Greenfield, the black swan, gave her second con cert last night in Exeter-hall, when she was assisted by several native and foreign artistes of celebrity. The concert commenced with an overture in C minor, called " Peace and War," by Duggan, which was performed in first-rate style by the members of the orchestral union. This is a composition of great merit, and, with out being an imitation, strongly reminded us of some of the works of the immortal Weber. The first success of the evening which demands particular notice was attributable to the exquisite manner in which Signor Gardoni sung Beethoven's beauteous cavatina "Adelaide," replete with expression and purity of taste. Mdlle. Rita Favanti displayed the extraordinary power, compass, and flexibility of her voice in Rossini's " Non piu mesta," and " Una vow poco fa." " The Slave's Dream" was admirably inter preted by Heir Brandt. • We are at a loss to decide which to admire most—Mr. Longfellow's poetry, or Herr Brandt's singing of this charming song. Mrs. Wokie (late Miss Fanny Russell) is a decided acquisition to our mu sical circles. We understand she is a pupil of Cruvelli and Henry Phillips. Proch's song, " From the Alps," was given by her with true artistic feeling, taste, and brilliancy of execution. She was ably seconded by Mr. H. Distin, on the tenor sax tuba. The principal instru mental features of the concert were the extraordinary performances of ,Signori Piatti and Bottessini, on the violoncello and contra basso ; Mr. H. Distin, on the sax tuba ; and Mrs. H. Thompson and Miss Rosina Bentley, on the pianoforte. Mr. Sims Reeves was in splendid voice, and was encored in his two songs. Herr Pischek, in addition tc the music allotted to him in the programine, sung, at the request of an amateur, a new song by Willmers, called " Cornblumer," which was ap plauded to the echo. The beneficiaire, Miss Greenfield, sung several compositions of Mr. Wallace with much expression, and was encored twice ; she also gave " Sweet home," and a new song, " The vision of the negro slave," written by Mr. Fitzball, which bids fair to be a great favourite. The arrangements of the con cert were under the direction of Mr. Theseus Stevens, who accompanied several of the vocal pieces in a most tasteful and masterly manner, and everything seemed to give satisfaction to a fashionable and crowded audience. MDLLE. CLAUSS'S CONCERT.—This exceedingly clever pianist had a morning concert yesterday at Willis's Rooms, which was attended by a numerous and fashion. able audience. Mdlle. Clauss performed Beethoven's Grand Sonata in Cin a brilliant manner. Nothing could exceed the facility with which she rushed through the pas sages of this chef-crceuvre, eliciting enthusiastic applause by the grace and elegance with which the whole piece was rendered. She was equally successful in morceaux from Mendelssohn and Weber. She also assisted with consider able effect in a trio for piano, violin, and violoncello ; the two latter instruments being directed and controlled by Herr Molique and Signor Platt. The vocalists on the occasion were Madame Pauline Viardot, Signor Gar doni, and M. Jules Lefort. The former vocalist exe cuted a trying aria from adobe, by Pacini, with con siderable power, her florid style being well suited to the composition. Signor Gardoni sang a Romanza in a pleasing manner, in which he was accompanied by M. Levy, the composer. The concert, as a whole, gave great satisfaction. M. Frank Mori conducted with his usual ability. SHIPS AND TONNAGE. —Yesterday a return printed Fhowed that last year 17,819 sailing and steam vessels were employed in the foreign and home trade of the United Kingdom. The tonnage was 3,380,884, and the crews, including masters, mates, and apprentices, num bered 177,982. THE MOORS. - Grievous accounts are given of the prospect of grouse shooting for the ensuing season. One gentleman writes that " nothing but the old birds can be expected on the 12th of August." In some localities it is in contemplation to give a year's "jubilee" to grouse in consequence of the serious destruction caused by the snow in the early part of last month. The snow re mained a depth of twenty inches for a length of time— a fact which appears confirmatory of the unfavourable accounts, and which must have a depressing influence on the spirits of the lovers of grouse shooting. —Chester Court t, 1 -§gtitt9tl t HAMPTON RACES.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.-(THIS DAY. LIVERPOOL. The evidence adduced before the committee this morn ing was with reference to the treating carried on in the Great George Ward, but nothing of any importance was proved. A witness named Thomas Chapman, who had been served with a Speaker's warrant, was not in attendance when called ; and, on the suggestion of the chairman, it was arranged that a telegraph message should be sent requiring his attendance to-morrow, and, if he failed to attend, that ulterior measures should be taken to obtain his presence. PLYMOUTH. The further inquiry ordered by the house into the practices at elections for this borough, was com menced this morning by the same committee who unseated Mr. Mare, the late member, namely, Mr. Aglionby (chairman), Mr. Glyn, Lord Chandos, Mr. Dunlop, and Mr. Childs. Mr. Alexander, who was appointed by the Speaker as counsel to conduct the inquiry, in opening the case said, that in consequence of the reluctance of parties in the borough to give evidence, the agents had been unable to procure much additional information, but that suffi cient had been obtained to show the corrupt practices by which the members were returned to Parliament. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before the Lord Chief Baron and Mr. Justice Erle.) THE CLAPHAM CASE. The trial of Charles Cunningham, surgeon ; James Thomas, chemist ; and Charles Toirens Currie—charged with the felonious use of-certain instruments with the intent to procure abortion—was postponed until next session. William, Nash, aged 28, was placed in the dock, and pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him. with hav ing feloniously uttered a forged cheque fur the sum of 8501. The Lord Chief Baron sentenced the prisoner to 15 years' transportation. - Francis Stead was then placed in the dock, charged with having killed his wife by violent beating. The trial was proceeding when our report left. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Henry Jame., Lawrence, 32, carpenter, was indicted fer attempting to defraud William Burchett of the sum of 101., under the pretence of helping him to re cover 200 watches and other things which had• been stolen. Mr. Ryland prosecuted, and Mr. Lawrence defended. The facts of this case have been very recently before the public. The prosecutor is a jeweller, carrying on business at 131, Oxford-street, upon the 30th of April the prosecutor's premises were broken into, and property to a great amount stolen. Shortly after the burglary the prosecutor received by post a letter, signed Law rence, in which the writer said that ie was one of the gang who had broken into the prosecutor's premises, that the gang had not behaved well to him, and that if he (the prosecutor) would give him 101., he would enable him to obtain his pro perty back again. That the gang was about to break up, and that he must be speedy. The prosecutor was to put a placard in his window, with the word yes or no, and they should have another letter from him. The prosecutor did so, and received another letter. stating that 101. was to be placed in a parcel in a gutter at the foot of the Duke of York's Column, and with the letter was a plan of the exact spot. The prosecutor, upon this, communicated with the police, and a parcel was made. up, and placed at the appointed spot, and the police were set upon the watch. The prisoner was seen near the spot, and after waiting about for some hours, and watching, took the parcel and put It into his pocket. The officer then went after him and took him into custody, just as he was putting it into his pocket. The prisoner then said he was very sorry that he had been led into the matter, and that he had seen his error. The jury found him guilty. There was another indictment against him for obtain ing from Mr. Cutmore, of St. Martin's-le-Grand, 51. under similar circumstances, promising to put him in the way of getting back some property of the value of 1.2001., which had been stolen from his shop upon the 22d April.— Guilty. There was another indictment for a felony, which was proceeding when our report left. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) PICKING POCKETS. Joha Hudson, a well-dressed young man, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing from the person of Ann Eales a pur.ic. containing three half-crowns. The prosecuttrix said she was a single woman, and was cook to Mr. Sarrott, of No. 1, Cavendish-square. Yesterday evening she was looking at a print shop in Pall Mall, when she felt some one press against her, and on looking round she saw that the prisoner had her purse in his hand. She felt in her pocket to convince herself, and missed her purse from her pocket, where it was safe a few minutes before. The prisoner then ran away, and a gentleman to whom she had spoken fol lowed him and gave him in charge. John Watts, constable of the Opera Arcade, proved taking the prisoner into custody, and finding the purse and contents upon him. The prisoner declined making any defence, and was fully committed for trial. THE DIVISION ON THE BALLOT. The division on the ballot has been a very singular one. There were Ayes, 172 ; and Noes, 232 ; making a majority of 60 against the motion. The 172 repre sented the Liberal party, and consequently the majority is made up of the Tories and Tory Ministerialists. If the Tories had not voted, and the Ministerial side of the house bad been left to form their own decision, the ballot would have been carried by an immense majority. Ten members of Government voted for the ballot, and consequently against the Ministers. It will be curious to show how many Ministerialists joined the Tories in their crusade against the ballot. This may be done by dissecting the list of the majority. It will be found that nearly all the representatives of large town constituencies voted for the ballot. All the metropolitan members were present excepting Sir De Lacy Evans, Lord R. Grosvenor, and Mr. Masterman. The former is disporting himself at Chobham ; the two latter have feelings against the ballot, but would not vote against it. Three members of the Government, sitting on the Treasury Bench, spoke stoutly against the ballot—Lord John Russell, Mr. Sidney Herbert, i and the Lord-Advo cate of Scotl an d. If the question s in reality an open one, why did not Sir William Molesworth, Mr. Bernal Osborne, Mr. Charles Villiers, Sir Alexander Cockburn, or Mr. Strutt get up and oppose their more Tory asso ciates ? It is said that Lord John Russell is the great drag on the Government, and that he and Sir James Graham are the two opponents of all progress. The other mem bers of the Cabinet say it is difficult to know what can be done with the Noble Lord and the Right Hon. Baronet.— Morning A dvertiser. . THE POST-OFFICE.—The House of Lords ordered a return, which has just been printed, of the appointments of " presidents " of the money order-office. Only six have been appointed in London, Dublin, and Edinburgh. The correspondence between the Post-office and the Treasury as to the appointment of an assistant secretary is printed in the document. Mr. F. Hill is appointed assistant secretary, Mr. Rowland Hill being secretary, his duties being greatly increased. POSTAGE REGULATION.—By a Treasury warrant, dated June 10, 1853, it is directed that every printed price current, commercial list, course of exchange, shipping list, or other publication, respectively printed or pub lished in the United Kingdom, although not a news paper, but bearing newspaper stamp, the circulation of which, by the post, under the newspaper privilege, shall be allowed by the Postmaster-General, may be sent by the post free of British postage, or liable to British post age according to regulations set forth at length in the said warrant. OFFENCES BY POLICEMEN.—From a return just pub lish.3tl, it appears that in the last four years 22 police officers were sent by the commissioners, for offences, before the magistrates, and 262 at the instance of indi viduals. The number convicted was 54 belonging to the Motropolitm Police. COURT CIRCULAR.

Their Majesties the King and Queen of Hanover are expected to arrive off Woolwich this afternoon at two o'clock. His Royal Highness the Duke o f C am b r id ge , it i s understood, will leave London this morning, to meet his illustrious relatives, and conduct them to London. Their Majesties left Hanover on Tuesday morning, and travelled by railway to Cologne, in which city the King and Queen passed Tuesday night. Yesterday morning the illustrious travellers left Cologne for Ostend, at which port the Royal party arrived last evening. The Black Eagle, Admiralty steam yacht, arrived at Ostend yesterday morning, to be in readiness to convey the King and Queen to England. It was arranged that the Royal travellers should embark at a very early hour this morning, in order to reach Woolwich with the flood tide this afternoon. The King and Queen are accompanied by their three children, the Crown Prince Ernest, the Princess' Frederica, and the Princess Maria. In the - suite of his Majesty are Marshal Baron Ma lortie, Baron von Hedimann, Baron von Der Wense, General Vonderdecken, and the Hon. Richard Somerset, son of Lord Raglan, Private Secretary to, the King. The ladies in attendance upon the Queen . are the Baroness von Decken, Mistress of the Robes ; the Countess Bernsdorffi Lady in Waiting ; and Made moiselle der Gablintz, Maid of Honour. The King will be attended by the following officers as aides-de-camp : Captain Essendorffi Captain Ret zensteen, and Captain Budden. Dr. Lex and Dr. Kaufmann, physicians to the King, will accompany his Majesty, and M. Pabst will be in attendance upon the youthful Crown Prince. It has already been stated that the King and Queen will occupy the residence of the Hanoverian Legation in Grosvenor-place during their sojourn in this country. It is hardly necessary to add that the chief object of the King's visit to England is to stand sponsor for the infant Prince, his nephew. His Majesty has not visited England since he left this country with his father, on the demise of King William IV., in 1837. DINNER TO CHAS. GA VAN DUFFY, ESQ., M.P. A dinner, complimentary to Charles Gavan Duffy, Esq., proprietor of the Nation, and member of Parlia ment for the borough of New Ross, took place last evening, at the Freemasons' Tavern, reat Queen-street. Richard Swift, Esq., M. P., presided, and was sup ported in the chair by Mr. Duffy, the guest of the even e' ; Mr. Meagher, M.P., father of th e ex il e d p a t r i o t ; Mr. Lucas, M.P. ; Mr. Wealth, M.P. ; Dr. Brady, M.P. • Mr. M‘Mahon, M.P. ; the Rev. D r . M'A u liff e , the Rev. Mean. Foley, Santry, Toomey, O'Connor, Cotter, Ainsworth, Bowman, and Colli ngr id ge ; M a j or French, Pace, Esq., John Finigan, E sq ., E. H a y es , Esq., .G. Seed, Esq., C. Bryson, Esq., &c. Letters of apology for inability to attend were read by Mr. Gal lagher, the secretary, from Lord Goderich, M.P., J. T. Devereux, Esq., Mr. Fagan, M.P., the Mayor of Cork, Dr. Grey, and other gentlemen. Two hundred and fifty gentlemen were present to signify their high appreciation of Mr. Duffy 's public conduct, patriotism, and spirit ; and of the glorious cause with which he and the "small but fearless band" are associated—the rege neration of Ireland. Behind Mr. Duffy's chair was suspended " the Harp of his country," wreathed with shamrock ; above it, the soul-stirring and appropriate lines of " Erin's bard"—" the poet of all circles, and idol of his own"—Tom Moore— " Far dearer the grave or the prison, Illum'd by ono patriot's name, Than the trophies of all who have risen On liberty's ruins to fame." Beneath the Harp were the well-known Irish words, inscribed in the Irish character—" Cead Mille Faltha ! " —(a hundred thousand welcomes) CHARLES GAVAN DUFFY, the truthful advocate of Ireland's rights—the spirit of the Nation. The cloth having been removed, The CEIAIRMAN gave the " Health of her Majesty the Queen," which was drunk with enthusiasm. The " Health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the rest of the Royal Family," followed, and was done honour to. Mr. M‘MAHoN, M.P., gave " the People, the source of all legitimate authority," and spoke energetically to the toast, which was followed by the song—" There's a good time coming, boys." - The toast " Civil find Religious Liberty," proposed by the Rev. Dr. M'Auliffe, was rapturously received. The CHAIRMAN then rose, and in warmly eulogistic language proposed "The health of Mr. Duffy, the guest of tha evening," who, with " A form of adamant, a soul of fire, No labours daunt—no labolirs tire." The toast was received with loud and long-protracted cheers. Mr. DUFFY, in returning thanks, said, although his life was not an eventful one—a. life, the scenes of which were strongly marked in his memory—he yet should never forget the demonstration of this evening, asso ciated as it was with his country's wrongs and his country's hopes. The honourable gentleman glanced at several striking passages in the history of Ireland, indicative of the sufferings through which she had passed, of her rallying power, despite of all efforts of tyranny, persecution, gross misrule, corruption, confisca tion, proscription, and banishment, and therefore hopeful as regards the future. He assured the company, in the words of his friend Mr. M‘Mahon, that he was the first man in Ireland who raised his voice against the purchasing of votes with "places." (The expression was loudly cheered, and marked, to boot, with a storm of hisses, di rected at somebody.) He urged the great necessity for union amongst the people of Ireland, and the great advan tages that would arise to society from a right and friendly understanding between them and the people of England. He pictured the Governments of former days, and gave severely cauterising sketches of some of the members of the present Government, amongst them, of the noble lord—Lord John Russell—in speaking of whose leader ship of the House of Commons, he exclaimed, " I declare to God, it seems to me, that • Tom of Canterbury,' or the Mormon prophet,' is not so complete a monument of human absurdity as the noble lord the member for London leading the House of Commons." (Long con tinued laughter followed this sally.) The hon. gentle man then directed attention to•the five-and-twenty mem bers of the Irish party in the House of Commons, " who are neither to be bought nor bullied," and con cluded a long and eloquent speech, of which the above can give but a faint idea, amidst rapturous cheering. Mr. M'CANN, M.P., gave the toast of a man who loved his country—Smith O'Brien, and his (Mr. M 'Cann's) young friend, Francis Meagher, exiles from their " na tive land." (Drunk with enthusiasm.) Mr. LUCAS, M.P., in a long and energetic speech, which was listened to with profound attention, inter rupted only by occasional loud cheers, and " moving of the tables," gave, not the borough of Carlow (for which Mr. Sadleir lost his seat), nor the borough of Athlone (for which Mr. Keogh got in), but the "Borough of New Ross," which, despite of Whig, lordly, and " Cas tle" influence, returned Mr. Duffy—the once proscribed --to Parliament. With respect to Mr. Sadleir, he pro claimed him as everlastingly lost- - lost beyond all human redemption ; and, as related to Mr. Keogh, he saw him now sitting on the Ministerial benches, doing his "little greatness, and could not forget his exclamation to the people of Athlone, that, " So help him God ! he would never take office until the principles of the party with whom he was then associated, and the Tenant Right Bill, were first carried." (A. storm of hisses marked these allusions.) "Our English Friends," "Tenant Right," "The Electors of New Ross," " The Press," and, in solemn silence, "The Memory of the late Daniel O'Connell," followed ; and the company, at an advanced hour of the night, separated, highly delighted with the proceedings and objects for which they had assembled. GETTING READY FOR THE CZAM.—Everybody has read of the sham bridges, streets, and spires, which Potemkin ran up to make a sham of prosperity before the Empress Catherine, on progress through her dominions. The same illusions are practised now in the Russian states as we read in the Journal de Franefort : " According to the accounts which reach us from War saw, it appears probable that the Emperor will shortly visit that capital, as measures have been adopted within the last few days which usually precede the arrival of the monarch. All beggars and poorly dressed persons have been arrested, and taken by the police to a place in the neighbourhood of Warsaw, where they are lodged and fed at the expence of the city until after the departure of the sovereign. The owners of property situated in the principal streets have also received orders from the police to clean the fronts of their houses, and to make other necessary repairs on pain of having those repairs made by the police at their cost". • THE CAMP AT CHOBHAM COMMON. Yesterday the troops encamped at Chobham received the first of those surprises which it is said will almost daily try the tempers and test the smartness and abilities of both officers and men. Let us at once allay any alarm which may be excited by this announcement, by stating that it was no hostile enemy which created that sudden commotion in the camp, caused by the furious galloping of mounted orderlies in every direction from head-quarters. Soon after ten o'clock intelligence reached tho Adjutant-General that Prince Albert, the patron and warm supporter of expositions of the peace ful arts, was then on his way from Windsor to inspect the arrangements of this novel exhibition of the arts of war. Forthwith the whole machinery for diffusing and issuing orders was set in motion, and every battalion and regiment received orders to turn out in light marching order, and parade in front of its own encamp ment, for the inspection of his Royal Highness. The alacrity with which these orders was complied with was most creditable to the efficiency of the troops ; and although they had indulged themselves with the hope that the day was to be devoted to the arrangement of the interior of their tents, and refreshing themselves after the fatigue and rain of the previous day, the order was received with that cheerful and ready re sponse so characteristic of the British forces. Shortly after twelve o'clock his Royal Highness, accompanied by the Duke of Saxe Cobourg Gotha, with Colonel the Hon. C. B. Phipps, Captain the Hon. D. de Ros, and Captain Baron Treskow, in waiting, appeared on the common, at the extreme right of the encampment, and was received with a royal salute from all the troops. The prince, who was attired in civillian's costume, accompa nied by the Duke of Cambridge, Lord Seaton, and a brilliant staff of field officers, rode along the entire line, and inspected the men drawn up in front of their en campments. His Royal Highness, on returning, dis mounted and inspected the arrangement of the tents of the infantry, and the accommodation provided for the men. Passing on to the right wing, his Royal Highness walked through the stables of the 6th Dragoons (the Carabineers) and the other cavalry regiments, and made numerous inquiries respecting the arrangements of both horses and men. The beautiful horses of the 6th Dra goons were much admired by his Royal Highness. On leaving the ground the Ist Life Guards' Band played the National Anthem, and saluted with the usual honours. The line formed by the whole encampment is that of an extensive irregular semi-circle. The centre is occu pied by the second infantry brigade, under Major-Gene ral Mildmay Fane, and consists of the 42d Highlanders, and the 50th and 95th. The right-centre is formed of the first infantry brigade, under the command of Major- General Sir De Lacy Evans, M.P., which is composed of the 38th, 93d Highlanders, and the 2d battalion of the Rifle Brigade. The left-centre is formed of the brigade of the Guards, consisting of the Ist battalion of the Cold streams, Ist battalion of Scots Fusiliers, which, as the younger regiment, occupies the central position in the brigade, and Ist battalion of Grenadiers. Joining the flank of the right centre are the head-quarters. The right wing of the army consists at present exclusively of cavalry. The Ist Life Guards are posted on the ex treme right, and next to them are the 13th Light Dra- I goons, then the 17th Lancers, and the 6th Dragoon Guards, or Carabineeis. The left wing is formed of one company of Sappers and Miners, one troop of Horse Artillery, and three batteries of Royal Artillery. The tents of the infantry are pitched by companies in columns six deep, and to the rear of these are the officers' and field officers' tents, canteens, kitchens, mess-rooms, and hospitals. In the arrangements of the cavalry, the tables —of which there is one for each troop—are placed three deep, and occupy the front ; the men's tents, formed in column, are placed on the flanks of the stables. At the rear of the stables is a line of troop officers' tents ; be hind these, and in the centre of the row, are the two for the field officers, having upon each side those of the staff officers. The mess tent and kitchens are the rear most. In the front of each regiment are advanced tents for the quarter-guard, and in the rear for the rear guard, from which lines of sentries are thrown round each encampment. In allotting the ground, the worst and most uneven part appears to have fallen to the lot of the cavalry, and in the case of the 17th Lancers the men have been obliged to pitch their tents in the front, rather than on the flanks, of the stables. Indeed, it appears almost impossible for the cavalry to exercise in the im mediate neighbourhood of their tents without considera ble risk. The principal part of the evolutions of this portion of the army will, we believe, be at some distance from the site which they now occupy. Each regiment, whether of infantry or cavalry, has just sufficient front age allowed it to form in line, so that the length of the encampment from the extreme right to the extreme left is exactly the extent of the whole of the troops when in line. There are several elevated spots outside the line of sentries, from which,an admirable view may be obtained of the whole encampment, and numbers of stands are erected by private speculators upon those parts of the road from which extensive views may be obtained. Visitors are strictly prohibited from passing the lines of sentries, or walking iu front of the line. The scene on the outskirts of the camp is one of considerable anima tion, refreshment booths have sprung up in every direc tion, many of them having names well known to the frequenters of our public fairs. With respect to the future doings of the troops, nothing appears to be definitively known. It has been generally supposed that some extensive field movements will take place upon Saturday next, that being the Waterloo-day. Those who expect to witness a grand military spectacle upon that day will, we believe, how ever, be doomed to disappointment. It appears to be a very general opinion at head-quarters, and one which will no doubt be shared by the public, that as the Great Duke has been removed from the scene of his earthly victories, those annual celebrations of the 18th of June, which were ever considered as graceful compliments to the hero, are now uncalled for, and that their repetition, under existing circumstances, would tend only to perpe tuate feelings of rivalry, which in the present day, would be substituted advantageously by emulation of a peaceful and industrial character. It is expected that on Friday there will be a grand field day, and it is probable that, if the weather permits, the operations of the troops will be witnessed by her Majesty, orders having been given for immediately fitting up the Royal Pavilion. A new road is also in course of construction by the Sappers and Miners, iron; a portion of the Windsor road, leading direct to the spot to be occupied by the pavilion, and which will be in the immediate vicinity of head-quarters. We regret to bear that two of the cavalry horses, one belonging to the Life Guards, and the o th er t o th e 13th Dragoons, were yesterday ordered to be shot in conse quence of the serious injuries which they had received in stables from the kicks of other horses, and as the ar rangements do not admit of having separate stalls for the animals, it is feared that many more such casualties may occur. WOOLWICH', JUNE 15.—Twenty-two waggons, each drawn by four horses, left the Royal Arsenal at eight o'clock a.m., to-day, loaded with ammunition, and ac companied by an escort of Foot Artillery, for Chobham common, for the service of the troops encamped there. Seven women were allowed to proceed with each of the batteries of Royal Artillery when they marched from Woolwich for the mini), and it is intended to have tem porary huts erected outside the lines for the accomtnoda- ton of the married men. At the camp, the bugle is sounded at half-past seven o'clock in the morning for breakfast, and at ten o'clock all the troops assemble, in light marching order, for parade. The troops dine at twelve o'clock. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-JuNE 15. (From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Commons.) LEASING POWERS (IRELAND) BILL.

The principal objects of interest onthe river are well represented by a series of dissolving views, while the lecturer narrates the most interesting histori cal facts connected with the spots chosen for illustration. A number of songs—descriptive, c omic, and pathetic— are interspersed over the more seriou s business of the lecture, and are sung with good effect by Mr. Buckland.

At this stage of the question now East, it is essential to a correct knowledge s taken b 1 to pass rapidly in review the successive step an o the Russian Government in this tra,nsaction, fors statement of the communications made fromof Europa time by that Cabinet to the other P vier3 „„tiee s will effectually dispose of the inaccurate a n ' , pen di o n f g th i e ll ove culated by some journals, whose position a ;!,,,l e " scarcely entitle them to serious n otice. -r foundation of the charge preferred by r055,i_ 3 ,,,1 Turkey rested on the assumption that the P?cr,telo ID lated its engagements to the Emperor NI nf,, i „ and manner offensive to the honour of that So cer ri. b e eva / injurious to the rights of the Greek Church.. -"referred to which this charge specially and exclusi v it e h Y re fe"ijce was, that the firman obtained by Russia w Floes to the privileges of the Greek clergy at the ) 14 -uv t h e 60• had been revoked last year in direct terms, le e : ede d a t licitation of the French Ambassador, who sue f u ller the same time in obtaining from the Porto „ fie cognition of the privileges of the Latin Chur.o,`ltoty man purporting to be granted in fulfilment of the 0. of 1740. We repeat, that this act of dinhen wards Russia, was made the sole basis of her ie ;, be• redress, and that no other violation of engat u , pace' sides this revocation of the firman about the 1 1 4 tot was at all alleged. The 6i on was theref?re.on timeto th' confined t madeo this t o this objec effectt onl by Barony.

The Russian Minister, is to have declared on this occasion, by order of Cow that Prince Menschikoff was about to proce stantinople to obtain re d ress for this alleged n ot W of engagements ; that he would be instructo „ill, enter into negotiations with Fund Effend i, then lot ish Minister for Foreign Affairs, heesuipec°r Minister was the very person to whom the w hic Nicholas attributed the breach of faith • el. n e.e of he complained ; that the object of his 11 1 1 0 in „, to prevent further changes in the toon ettio the Greek Church in the East, and s _ r b e arar' c ' questions which had arisen with a just th 3 ,, t't towards France—an expression clearly linP'P — D eri x was to the question raised by France that the ba d tion related ; and, lastly, that as the former fin' rt of °, been revoked, Russia required an explanatory more formal and solemn character to define the %, 1 , the Greek Church for the future. To this n , ° , 13' .,d15 ° : tion Lord John Russell gave a frank' and w e f1 • 0 0 11 ' swer. England had no direct interest in these ow and she merely expressed her readiness to Pr° l/3 ,r,,Aci amicable arrangement of the dispute betwe en f or and the other two Powers. F ar from offering 110 position to the demands of Ru s sia on this P oin !' i , were so far reasonable and just, the bassy at Constantinople was instructed tLatontil, them ; and, in fact, Lord Stratford did snu s w'pc ° 2, give such effectual assistance to the Rus sian it "'•;, on the question of the Holy Places that, h ose' satisfactorily settled, and Prince M e nschilt on fot by addressed to Lord Stratford a letter of ths ui ‘ s o n o c e i support. Throughout this part of the transanh' thing was said of the general question, and ren,, e ,rll l o,, the treaty subsequently demanded ; and we sh a " ' o f 0 % be able to show on some future occasion that that' was nothing said of any such pretensions, but were uniformly, solemnly, and vehemently de n o l „', 39 tsP,, Dritisorpoo Upon the arrival of Prince Menschikoff at y o nd nople a further communication was made /11 ,.; en, I ' D purporting to convey the sense of his instrueldeolo some of the expressions used in the letter n,f, or „ r or„,„ of which he was the bearer from the At a t r bile ;' ) ; Russia to the Sultan. In this document peror Nicholas appears to have stated, / pots' the present question he recommended to th,, e ,,,istiO the maintenance of rights granted °fold to the o' eo ber i population of Turkey, and enjoyed by them as i . ll/ 00 of a church which is also that of the majority ° `0,8(1!: subjects. Such a recommendation, applied fir; tion then pending, which was that of the oi-civ 0 11 w jj had in it nothing offensive to the Porte, or 1015 .„ t e- hing`i the mouth of a Russian envoy. But could anr aa est,' more inconsistent with a recommendation or 1 1 this nature than the menacing demand of a "*,„:0, convert these rights into a matter of s ecifie ", o nr P a b ment ? On this point, however, the most ~0 0 8 ; , silence was still observ e d. Th e R us sian Go v ' de,sir d , continued to deny that the Emperor had 2 1 4 f ih ' e but to restore a perfectly goo d un derstand °e ° the Porte, the strength en i ng o f p ea ce he t ti lv it e be;{ two empires, and especially th e ma i n t e nance tegrity and independence of T ur k e y ; an d it au," Fla it sought nothing on the qu est i on o f the 114 ,..fi1eb . ,1 but the extension to th e G ree k s o f the P -1 50 granted to the Latins by th e fi rman of the re er February.

On this point, then, we n a o r t e t i o n 3 coro p oo, o , to give a positive and precise answer t o the err ° °a statements which have been circulated. The fls ifr iP* 4 ledge which the British Government received 0:0(t• Menschikoff's draught convention and of tl'tter; e ! his propositions was not from the Russian In-R:,. s n or,, all, but from the British Ambassador at Consta7„,, to whom it was communicated by the Turkish 3-Li• re ss ° ,; on or about the sth of May. Nor is there 311 Y, pirt, to suppose that Baron Brunow himself bad arid ,fts , l o ledge of the existence of such a convention un i t 4 elf iintste3l;;,^ll had been transmitted by Lord Stratford London. me" The object of those wh o h ave a tt em pted th e defending the the conduct of th e R uss i an Governlen7• this transaction, and of thos e w h o p er form ~ c" ~r task of assailing and m i sre p resen ti ng th e Bri ti 'deal'ti,, ment, is at this mome n t th e same .
