LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The L or d s ' amendments to the West London and Crystal Palace Railway Bill were considered and agreed to. FRANCE. The Siecle has a stirring article on the Eastern question, but it is merely a repetition of what it has been saying for the last fortnight, namely, calling upon the British and. French Governments to reject any offer of arrangement of the dispute between Russia and Turkey except upon the basis of the previous and immediate evacuation of the Principalities. This being refused, war, according to the Siecle, becomes a duty on the part of the allies from which they cannot shrink without dis grace. In the other journals there is nothing of the slightest interest on this or any other subject. Several of the journals contain a letter from Schiras, in Persia, written by a Swedish physician, giving a dreadful account of the almost total de struction of that town on the 21st of April. Not less than 12,000 persons, the letter states, perished lo / the disaster. A g rand state-dinner was given on Saturday at Saint-Cloud, at which Queen Christina, Prince Jerome Napoleon, Prince Napoleon, the Princess Mathilde, and the Duke de Rianzares were present. In the evening the Imperial party proceeded to the theatre of the Palace, where the actors of the Theatre-Franoais represented the Mari ala Cam pagite. Their Majesties were accompanied by the great officers and ladies of their households. The Prince of Hesse, the diplomatic body, a great number of senators, deputies, councillors of State, generals, and superior func'donaries were present, as well as a great number of the wives and female relatives of these gentlemen. The representation terminated at half-past eleven. A decree from the Emperor approves of the sta tutes of the railway company represented by Count de Morny, the Marquis de Latour-Maubourg, Mr. Masterman, and Mr. Laing of London, and. other gentlemen, and authorises the said company to bear the name of the Grand Central of France. We read in the Presse :—" We announced two days ago that M. F.' Arago had commenced his journey towards Paris ; we now learn that the im provement in his health has not maintained itself. His situation has become such that it was not con sidered necessary to send a telegraphic dispatch to Paris to request his son to join him. This news has caused a very painful sensation in the scientific world." The following bills were read a third time and Passed :—Archbishop of Canterbury's Estate, Richmond (Yorkshire) Burgage Pastures, Sneed-park Estate. The report upon the Jesus College and Ward Jack son's Estate Bills were reconsidered and agreed to, and the bills ordered to he read a third time. PETITIONS. Mr. DUNCAN presented a petition from medical men in Edinburgh, praying for an improvement in the condition of surgeons in the navy ; also, a petition from a place in Scotland in favour of the ocean penny post age. Mr. CORBETT presented 27 petitions from dyers and bleachers in Lancashire and Yorkshire, in favour of a ten hours' bill. Mr. A. PELLATT presented two petitions from Cheltenham, praying for the people's charter. Mr. KERSHAW presented several petitions from G loucestershir e and Devonshire, against the Education Bill. CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL. Lord J. RUSSELL, in moving that the house do go into committee upon this bill, said the subject of Charitable Trusts had for a long period en gaged the attention of Parliament. In 1816 Lord Brougham brought it prominently before Parlia ment, and from that year up till now, he thought the usual time had elapsed before which questions of great public interest like the present were generally brought to a satisfactory conclusion. In 1843 a mea sure was brought in by Sir Frederick Pollock, and other bills had been repeatedly introduced since then—one by the Government over which he presided, and another by Sir Frederick Thesi , er, the late Attorney-General. In th e present session 'the Government again took up the subject, and they introduced into the other house of Parliament the bill which was now before the house. It Was referred to a select committee of their lordships, and that committee paid great attention to the subject, and went over the whole of the provisions of the bill. Their opinion was that the question of the superintend ence and general administration of these charities should he altogeth er separate d from polit i cal cons i derat i ons, or t heinterests of any particular party, and that they con sidered that the bill would attain that object. They suggested that the commissioners who were to be named. by the Crown, and were to have the general admi nistration of charities, should hold office during good behaviour, and it appeared to him that the great object which they all had in view /night be accomplished in that manner. There were s ome alterations which he int-nded to propose in com mittee. Though there were three commissioners, with salaries, named in the bill, it was very probable that after a ti me t h e whole number' of three would not be required ; and therefore he proposed to add a clause at the end of the bill, which would enable the Government, after a certain time, to allow one of the appointments to cease and determine. According to the bill as it now stood, one of the commissioners would not be required to possess legal qualifications. He was sorry to find that Roman Catholic charities could not be placed under the bill without some special provision, as it was likely that its operation might affect their existence. Though many of them were very useful charities, and such as he Was sure the house would wish to continue, yet unless great care was taken they might be entirely overthrown and destroyed by the bill. He would therefore propose that these charities should be omitted ; but he did not Mean that they should be permanently omitted, be cause he believed that the Roman Catholics would derive great benefit by having a superintending body over their charities like that which was established by the bill ; but in order to include them, a separate bill and separate provisions, which would give rise to a great deal of discussion, would be required. The house then went into committee upon the bill. [LEFT SITTING.] The Emperor, it is said, purposes being present at the breaking up the camp of Satory, which is to take place one of these days. He will accompany the army to Compiegne, as Commander-in-Chief on the field ; thence to Rambouillet • and lastly, to Fontainebleau. He also intends being present at the breaking up of the camp of Helfaut. It is said that several old and experienced officers praise the manner in which the Emperor has conducted the manoeuvres of the army at Satory. The Bourse yesterday exhibited almost a panic, and closed with a downward tendency. The Three per Cents., for cash and for the account have given way 55c. each ; the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. for cash 30c., and for the account 10c. Bank Shares, which for some days past have been steadily advancing, have also gone down, 20f. At the close of business, the quotations were-For cash : Three per Cents., 78f. 35c. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 103 f. 25c. For the account : Three per Cents., 78f. 40c. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 103 f. 40c. ; Bank Shares, 2,840 f. Shares of the Bank of Credit Foncier remain, as for the last few days, unchanged, at 740 f. ; but Credit Mobilier have fallen 7f., closing at 825 f. 50c. The Railway share market has shown the same characteristics as the market for Rentes, and Northerns are 6f. lower than on Saturday ; Paris and Orleans, 10f. ; Paris and Strasburg, 9f. ; Paris and Lyons, 6f. ; Paris and Rouen, sf. ; Lyons to the Mediterranean, 7f. ; Wes tern of France, Of. ; Bordeaux and Cette, 9 f. ; Rouen and Havre and unchanged. The following are the closing prices :-Northerns, 870 f. 25c ; Paris and Orleans, 1,162 f. 50c. ; Paris and Stras burg, 928 f. 25c. ; Paris and Lyons, 934 f. ; Paris and Rouen, 1,107 f. 50c. ' • Lyons to the Mediter ranean, 760 f. 50c. ; Western of France, 745 f. ; Rouen and Havre, 505 f. ; Bordeaux and Cette, 626 f. 50e. iREMORNE GARDENS.—The second bal masque of the seaso n is announced to take place to-morrow, the 3d instant, and the preparations are, we understand, on a most magnificent scale. The cirque will be thrown open without charge, and the Italian brothers are to exhibit their unequalled feat, Le Saut de Rivicre, which we wit nessed last evening with increased admiration of the Powers of those extraordinary artistes. The pyrotechnic genius of Mortram enhances the impression caused by this extraordinory performance, which will prove one of the most striking features of to-morrow's entertainments. A. brilliant assemblage is certain to do justice to the taasterly tactics of Mr. Simpson, who is richly deserving TURKEY AND RUSSIA. of public patronage.

The regular army of Russia, therefore, consists of 30 divisions, or 120 regiments, of infantry, and of 15 divisions, or 60 regiments, of cavalry; and counts, at most, with the reserve and the depots, 628,000 men and 1,540 pieces of cannon, to which must be added from 30,000 to 50,000 Cossacks of various de nominations, with their light artillery, as well as the in terior guard and the gendarmerie. Out of that number there can really be disposed of in Europe only the active army, the body-guards, the grenadiers, and the two re serve bodies of cavalry, in all 420,000 men, 72,000 horses, and 1,272 cannol—a considerable force certainly, but not greater than others of the first-rate powers can bring into the field in time of war." Gen. Osten-Sacken, aide-de-camp to the Em peror of Russia, has just been named to the command of the 3d corps d'armee, vice Gen. Offen berg, who is seriously ill. The Emperor of Russia has promulgated the following ukase : "By the grace of God, we, Nicholas I, ordered by our decree of the Ist (13th) August, 1834, that every year levies of men should take place in certain parts of the empire ; and now we decree : Ist. To complete the army and the navy, and in conformity with a ukase con taining special enactments, addressed to the Directing Senate, the tenth partial recruiting shall take place in the eastern part of the empire, in the proportion of 7 men for 1,000, as was the case in 1852 in the western part. 2dly. Independently of that, 3 men in 1,000 shall be levied in the governments of the eastern part of the empire, to complete the 6 men in 1,000, which that part supplied less than it ought to have done in pre c3ding reeruitings. 3dly. In the governments of Psok, Witepsk, and Mohilew, which were exempted by the decrees of the 31st October, 1845, and the 26th September, 1846, on account of the bad harvests of 1846 and 1847, the levy of the complement of 1852 (3 men per 1,000) shall be proceeded to. With respect to the Jews of Witepsk and Mohilew, the levy shall be made in the same manner as on the Jews of the other governments-10 men in 1,000, on the basis of the regulations for recruiting. 4thly, The levy shall commence on the Ist November, and terminate on the Ist December. Given at St. Petersburg, the Bth 20th) July, 1853, and the 28th of our reign. " NICHOLAS." Two other ukases are also published ' • they fix the details of the levies to be made. In virtue of another ukase the odnodwures and inhabitants of the governments of Kiew, Podolia, Wolhynia, Minsk, Grodno, Wilna, and Kown, are also to supply recruits. The Ilamburgh Correspondent, under date of St. Petersburg, 21st ult., says :—" The armaments in the interior of the Empire continue without interruption. The battalions of reserve of the 4th corps of Infantry are concentrated near Tula. The guard and the corps of Grenadiers still occupy the positions in the camp, near Krasnoge Selo and near Badost not far from Gotschino. The manoeuvres of the two corps, which form an effective force of 100,000 men, still continue." Count de Benkendorff, first aide-de-camp to the Emperor of Russia, arrived at Frankfort on the 29th ult. The .Augsburg Gazette quotes a letter from Rome, of the 20th ult., in which it is stated that the poli tical conspiracies lately discovered at Bologni,Forli, St. Arcangelo, Cento, and other places of Romagna, had been all concocted in person by the ex-triumvir of Rome, M. Aurelio Saffi, Mazzini's staunch friend. The correspondent states, that at Rome people shake their heads at Saffi's fool-hardiness in risking his person within the grasp of the police, and are generally surprised that he has not been arrested, as his features are of remarkable and well-known cast. Monsignor Matteucci has, however, sent after him, calling upon the authorities to arrest " Aurelio Saffi of Forli, a landholder and literary man (possidente e letterato)" on a charge of high treason. A letter from Cetigne (Montenegro) states that on the day of the patronal fete of the country, there was a large assemblage of the inhabitants, at which Prince Danillo made a speech relating to the support that he had received from Austria, and threatening to punish with great severity any one guilty of offence against the persons or property of Austrian subjects. A letter from Damascus 26th June, says :—" The fanaticism of the Turks both here and at Aleppo be comes every day more and more violent. The Governor has convoked the Turkish and Christian notabilities in order to impress upon them the duty of concord. The Governor of Aleppo has arrested 30 of the most violent fanatics."

HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from a public meeting in Sussex in favour of the repeal of the malt and hop duties ; also, a petition from a place in 53otland in favour of the Public Houses (Scotland) Bill. CONVERSION OF SOUTH SEA STOCK. Lord ST. LEONARDS complained that the proposi tion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer with re spect to the Conversion of South Sea Stock, did not give those facilities to suitors in the Court of Chancery which they had a right to expect. It was said that this measure was brought forward as a fulfilment of a pledge that had been given to himself, but it was no such thing, for instead of the measure being a benefit to the suitors of the Court of Chancery or the Court of Bankruptcy, he believed it would lead to end less liti g ation, and make the office of solicitor to either court of more value by many thousands a year than it had hitherto been. The Earl of ABERDEEN promised to communicate with his right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Ex chequer on this subject, and if possible the noble and learned lord's objections should be removed. (Hear, hear.) lie had, however, maintained, and should continue to maintain the position that their lordships had no right to alter a money bill. It had never been done since the time of the revolution, and their lord ships should pause before they consented to break through the practice. The LORD CHANCELLOR explained the course which bad been taken by himself and the other authori ties of the Court of Chancery with regard to the stock in question. As th e ma tt er now s t oo d th e partiesin terested in the stock would, at the proper time, be entitled to the full amount of their money, or the option of converting the present stock into a new three-and-a-quarter per cent, stock. After a few words from Lord ST. LEONARDS, the subject dropped. PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. Lord BROUGHAM claimed the indulgence of their ordships while he corrected a mistake which the re porters had fallen into. In what he said upon the elec tion bill he was said to have expressed a hope that the Government would next session be ready with a large measure of reform ; but the fact was he said no such thing. What he did say was this, that while he ad mitted the necessity for some Parliamentary reform, he expressed a hope that the measure which the Government intended to bring forward would be a judi ciously framed and well-considered scheme for removing the evils of the present system, and not large or exten sive in its scope. CASE OF THE BARON DE BODE. Lord LYNDHURST moved a resolution to the effect that the claim of the Baron de Bode upon the English Government, in respect of property confiscated by the French revolutionary authorities, had been clearly estab lished, and recommended itself to the earnest considera tionof her Majesty's Government. The LORD - CHANCELLOR entered into a history of the case, urging particularly that, although the baron was in point of law a British subject, he was practically, and to all intents and purposes, a foreigner ; that the property was confiscated as the property of a French emigrant, and that the son of that emigrant, the present baron, had been held by the lawful tribunal to save no claim. Further, that the Privy Council, on being ap pealed to, had confirmed the decision ; and that the sur plus fund remaining after the satisfaction of the admitted claims had been appropriated in what was judged to be the most equitable manner. His lordship asked if those decisions were to be set aside, where was the system to stop—and why should not any other disappointed claim ant be heard over again ? The manner in which the case was brought forward was altogether indefinite. If their lordships believed the claim to be just, it was their duty to pass an act for its satisfaction ; but if " favourable consideration" meant fair consideration, he could only say that the case had been already fairly considered. His lordship believed that the claim had been founded originally in error, and that at the pre sent time there was not only no legal claim, but th a t there was no claim even for the equitable consideration of the house. Lord TRURO insisted that it would be a disgrace to the country if their lordships rejected the claim. Lord MONTEAGLE defended the administration of the funds allotted for the compensation of all who had suffered confiscation, and thought that the question should not be re-opened ; but Lord HARROWBY declared his opinion that no thing but the extent of the injustice prevented the ac knowledgment of the debt. After some further discussion, The Earl of ABERDEEN would only offer to the house a very few words upon this question. His noble and learned friend's motion was to recommend this case to the favourable consideration of the Government ; but what result did he expect ? Lord LYNDHURST—I leave it to the noble lord to say. _ _ The Earl of ABERDEEN must say, in the first place, that he could not agree to that motion, because he thought it one that it was incompetent for him to deal with, and then, notwithstanding the great ability of the noble and learned lord, he had failed in his speech to establish the claim in justice of Baron de Bode, and he must say that if this was a claim competent to be en tertained there was not a single rejected claimant who had not a right to a hearing. (Hear, hear.) There had been claims considered and rejected. The com missioners were a competent tribunal constituted for that purpose, and the Privy Council was a compe tent tribunal to review the decision in the case. If ever there was res acljudicata it was here. It was impos sible for the Government to lend itself to re-open a case which every preceding Government deemed to be finally and conclusively determined. After all, the committee, to the appointment of which the house had, perhaps, somewhat incautiously assented, made their report in the month of June last, and he wanted to know why his noble and learned friend did not take an opportunity of applying to the noble lord then at the head of the GovernMent, instead of writing a letter to him (the Earl of Aberdeen) about the Baron de Bode ? Lord LYNDHURST made an observation which was inaudible. The Earl of ABERDEEN was still of opinion that his noble and learned friend would have done well to apply to the then head of the Government, who was known to have expressed an opinion favourable to the Baron de Bode's claim when in the House of Commons. When his noble and learned friend ap pealed to his (the Earl of Aberdeen's) mercy, he seemed, in some respect, to abandon the strong ground of justice assumed at the outset. If anything were left to his discretion he would be happy to yield to the suggestions of mercy, but he was afraid that in a case of this kind justice must precede mercy, and he was bound to declare he saw no reason for departing from the course taken by preceding Governments. (Hear, hear.) Lord LYNDHURST felt himself justified in appeal- ing both to justice and mercy on - this occasion: It was the case of an unfortunate gentleman who, after struggling for many years against a combination of almost every party, at last succeeded in satisfactorily establishing every fact in dispute. His noble friend had the power to dispense both justice and mercy ; but he could not compel him to exercise it. The baron's case was established, and it received no answer from the noble and learned lord on the woolsack. The LORD CHANCELLOR inquired whether a division would be called for ? Lord LYNDHURST.—Yes ; I will divide, if I stand alone. The house then divided ; the numbers were, — Content 6 Noncontent l6 Majority —lo In answer to a question from the Earl of HARROWBY, The Duke of NEWCASTLE stated, that a code of laws, mitigatory of the criminal system existing in Malta (which was the same as prevailed in the time of the Knights of Malta), had been sent over to this country. It was, however, a printed copy, and was deficient in the formalities which would authorise him to submit it to her Majesty for approbation. In the event of a proper copy arriving, he would not pledge himself not to submit to her Majesty for approbation before Parliament had an opportunity of expressing an opinion on it. In the meantime the printed copy would be laid upon their lordships' table. The Entail (Scotland) Bill, the Stamp Duties Bill, and the Registrar of Meetings Bill, were read a third time and passed. The Public Libraries (Ireland and Scotland) Bill, the B ur gh Harbours (Scotland) Bill, the Ele c ti ons Bil l th e Sheriff Courts (Scotl an d ) Bill, the 'Resident ' m ag istrates (Ireland) Bill, th e Turnpike Trusts Arrange ment Bill, and the Sheep, Sze., -Contagious Diseases Prevention Bill passed through committ ee . The Highway R ates Bill the Stamp &ties (No. 2) Bill, and the Turnpike Acts Continuance Bill were read a second time. THE INDIA. BILL. On the motion of Earl GRANVILLE, this bill was read a first time and ordered to be read a second time or Thursday. Adjourned. ROUSE OF COMMON S--(YEST mi ERDAY.) The SPEAKER t oo k the chair at 10 nutes after 12 o'clock. JUVENILE OFFENDERS' BILL. Mr. ADDERLEY, in moving the second reading of the bill, said his only object i n press i ng i t now on t h e attention of the house was to elicit the opinions of hon. members on th e su bj ect, and to obtain a pledge from the Government to introduce a measure in reference to it during the forthcoming session. The object of the pre- sent bill, was the permissive establishment by counties or boroughs, or by counties and boroughs conjointly, of reformatory schools for young criminals where they should be taught some industrial trade, and be supplied with parental care and home influence, instead of being subject to the rough and unsatisfactory treatment of a short imprisonment in our common gaols. The evil which the bill sought to remedy was a great one, no less than the existence throughout the country, and especially in large towns, of an immense class of cbild dren, who, by the absence of parental care fell into cri minal habits of life ; and he believed that the theory of the bill, which was founded on the report of a com mittee of the House of Commons, was already adopted by the press and the public. Mr. BAINES, as chairman of the committee, which had sat two sessions on the treatment of juvenile of fenders, expressed his entire concurrence in the observa tions of the hon. member. There was no object more important than that he sought to attain, and there was scarcely any more urgent. He considered that it be hoved Parliament to apply itself to the subject with the least possible delay; but at the same time he thought it was impossible in the present session to frame a bill which would be altogether satisfactory in point of detail. There were three points clearly established before the committee, and he was extremely glad to find that the hon. member had introduced them into his bill—first, that the existing gaols were altogether inadequate for the reformation of young children ; secondly, thati n any mode of treatment adopted in regard to these children, it was of the utmost importance that it should be of an industrial character ; and, thirdly, that it was essential to insist on parental responsibility. (Hear, hear.) The parent should be made to understand that he would gain nothing in a pecuniary point of view by negle c ti ng hi s c hildren, and learning them to lead a vicious course of life, and that if they became inmates of the proposed institutions he would become liable for a whole or portion of their maintenance. The right hon. g en tl eman conc l uded b y secon di ng the motion for the second reading of the bill. Mr. HENLEY agreed entirely in the object of the bill, but thought it was of too much importance to be entrusted to the hands of an independent member. He recommended that it should be taken up by the Govern ment ; and lie thought as it was only brought forward to elicit discussion that it would be better not to press the second reading, especially as it contained some de tails that were open to objection. Lord PALMERSTON had no doubt the house would be unanimous in giving the bill a second reading, on the ua lerstanding that the further consideration of the bill was to be postponed until next session. The principle which it involved was, in his opinion, likely to meet the ap probation of the Legislature, but as the machinery of it required mature deliberation, lie hoped the present discussion would not be prolonged, as there was other business of pressing importance on the paper. He re commended lion, members to read the evidence taken before the committee with attention during the recess, and next session they would be prepared to enter into the discussion of the subject, with a view to some prac tical result. Mr. HUME objected to the principle of the bill, as being simply an extension of the poor law, which he be lieved had been productive of very great evil to the country, and opposed the second reading. Sir J. GRAHAM thought it was advisable that the house should affirm the preamble of the bill, which was simply "for the better care and reformation of juvenile offenders." He was of opinion that the time had arrived when it was imperative on the house to take that subject into its serious consideration. Mr. M. MILNES thanked the Government for the manner in which they had received this bill so different from the reception which a similar one had received five or six years ago. He regretted the:delay which had suf fered so many young culprits who . might have been re claimed to grow up in confirmed vice ; but this was not a time to complain. With respect to the observations of the hon. member for Montrose, he felt assured that from whatever source it might be decided to draw the neces sary funds, the proposed measure so far from proving a loss would be a great national gain. After a few words from Mr. DUNLOP, who expressed his wish that the operation of this bill might be extended to Scotland, The bill was read a seced time and was ordered to be committed this day three months. NAVAL COAST VOLUNTEERS. The house then went into committee on this bill. Sir J. GRAHAM entered into a statement of the ob ject of the bill, similar to that which he made on the second reading of the bill. When the Militia Bill was prepared, he did not believe that so many volunteers would come forward as they had done, while he was cer tainly surprised and gratified at the readiness with which his fellow-countrymen had displayed their military ardour on behalf of their native land. He was, therefore, in favour of the voluntary principle, both as regarded the navy or the army, and he, therefore, applied the voluntary principle of the Militia Act to this bill without the aid of the ballot, rather than have a system of compulsory enlistment. In our rivers and in the coasting trade there were a num ber of men who would accept the bounty of 6/. a man, which this bill offered with avidity, and to them he should then look for making up the complement sanctioned by this bill. It was proposed in the first instance that 10,000 men should be raised, while it would be stipu lated that the men should not be taken more than 50 leagues from the British or Irish coast. The men would receive the pay of able seamen in the navy, and they would be called out for five years ; but in case of special emergency they would be obliged to serve for another year, and if the danger continued, and was imminent after that period, then the volunteers would be called out for an additional year, receiving an addition of 2d. a day to their pay, and being obliged to go 100 leagues from the coast. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MACKINNON found fault with the measure because no provision was made in it for raising the 10,000 in the event of the volunteer principle failing. Captain SCOBELL said that, under three Adminis trations, he had protested against the political manage ment of the naval service. He thought, however, that the service could not be in better hands than in those of the present First Lord. He strongly recommended and approved of the plan of giving bounties, which, he thought, would greatly contribute to the success of the measure, as it had done to the Militia Bill. That part of the Bill, however, which proposed, in certain cases, to take landsmen as volunteers would, he thought, not answer, as it was impossible to instruct them in the duties of seamen in so short a time. Sir G. PECHELL, on the whole, approved of the efforts which the Admiralty were making for improving and rendering the navy efficient, but there was room yet for alteration. Some change should be made in the mode of distributing prize-money, while an attempt should he made to rid the service of all defective or ob jectionable excesses. Parliament and the Government might depend upon it that the soundest policy was to deal with the navy in a liberal spirit ; and he would, therefore, make some addition to the terms proposed by this bill. Clauses 1 and 2, which provided for the number of men and the amount of the bounty, were agreed to. On clause 3, Sir J. GRAHAM, in reply to a question, said that he had not yet considered in detail the mode in which the proposed measure would be carried out after receiving the sanction of the Legislature, but that probably one commanding officer would be appointed to superintend the training throughout the United Kingdom. The clause was then agreed to. On clause 4, Admiral BERKELEY• objected to the use of the term " invasion." He said Government ought to be prepared to resist an invasion, but not to invite one by thus publicly proclaiming their apprehension. After a short discussion, the gallant Admiral reluc tantly withdrew his objection, and the clause was agreed to, as were also clauses 5,6, and 7. On clause 8, Sir G. PECHELL wished to know if any stoppages were to take place on the bounty ? Sir J. GRAHAM replied that he was not prepared to go into details at present, but no such stoppages were contemplated. Capt.. SCOBELL complained, that while a bounty was given to militia-men, regular soldiers, marines, and now even to naval volunteers, no bounty was allowed to be offered to our regular seamen. He was sure this was not only a cause of discontent, but operated powerfully in occasioning the difficulties experienced in manning our navy. Sir J. GRAHAM replied, that the executive had already the power the gallant officer alluded to, and might exercise it at any time, and to any extent, if thought necessary, but that it was not considered requi site so to do in time of peace. _ The clause was then agreed to, as was also the remain ing clauses, 16 in number, without discussion. The house having resumed, the Chairman reported the bill. METROPOLITAN SEWERS ACT CONTINII- ANCE BILL. On the order of the day for the committal of this bill, Sir B. HALL said that it was so late, that he hoped the bill would not be now pressed forward, but that a time would be appointed when it could be fully dia• cussed. . Lord PALIvIERSTON admitted the reasonableness of this proposal, and the committee was ultimately fixed for Thursday at 12. - - JUVENILE MENDICANCY BILL. In reply to a question from Mr. T. DIINCOMBE, Lord PALMERSTON was understood to say that it was not intended to press this bill beyond the second reading until next session. The house rose a few minutes before 4 o'clock. 'The house resumed at six o'clock. CASE OF ROBERT TOLLER. Mr. W. PATTEN presented a petition from R. Toiler, one of the witnesses who had been examined before the Clitheroe committee, and who had lately been committed to the gaol of Newgate upon the charge of prevarication. The petitioner begged most respectfully to assure the house that, in consequence of never having been examined before a committee previous to the occasion upon which he Lately gave his evidence, and never having been subjected to suc n i! rigid cross-examination by counsel, he was very much coo_ used, and did not clearly understand the questions 1 1 ahi.nh. were put to him. He regretted to find that anyinen! lty of 'firmity of his should lead the house to dee m him gui wilful prevarication, and begged in question. Tho his character had never before been called een custody for petitioner further stated that he hadle,bl in an active life, his 12 days, and that having previously to assure the house that a t s i o s n u if :B i n re g l e f a r s o ie na . il misled contrition for having the „nil. health ad been seriously sired to express his con injured by c onfinement. He de the hou . Now he (Mr. W. mittee, and im_plored Patten) held in 1 b's hands the certificates and one or two other medical of the surgeon of Newgate " T t o o lle s r an :v ' h testified that Robert men, wh ic h diarrhoea, and the bvmental ex citement consequent upon his confi nement in prison. -He had also been requested t o mention that th ere were at present several „. Qentl emen in London who were ready to bear testimony to the good character which had, until recently, been borne by the petitioner. Now, under these circumstances he thought the house oug ht to take the Case of that unfortunate person into the' ' 1 11' CollBlt E. ration. At the same time, he was unwilling to press the matter upon their attention, unless the ' • coalman of tie c ommittee before whom Toiler h a d been examined should be of opinion that the circumstances of the case were such as to justify his release Mr. G. A.. H . AMILTON said that the witness Toll bli • er was the proprietor of apu c-house in the borough of Clitheroe • and that he held that house under a relative of Mr. Aspi nall, one of the candidates at the late election. It was, therefore, not unnatural that there should be a bias uis a the part of witness in favour of Mr. Aspinall. Toiler i, . been examined by the counsel for the petitioner at great length, and having been subjected to a cross-examination, certainly appeared to be not a little confused. At the same time he (Mr. G. Hamilton) was bound to say that afterwards his evidence was extremely contradictory; so much so that the committee felt it to be their duty, with the view to enable the witness to set himself right, to put SPAIN. Neither the Madrid journals nor letters of the 27th ult., which have arrived in due course, con tain any confirmation of the statement in the pri vate telegraphic dispatch of that date received on Saturday, that all the Ministers had resigned with the exception of M. Moyano, Minister of Public Works. In fact, up to post time on the 27th ult., General Lersundi, the President of the Council, had not returned to Madrid from his visit to Vit toria to see his wife. The Heraldo positively con tradicts a statement that was current that the Duke de Montpensier is interested in the railway from San Lucar to the Port Saint Maria. " The Duke and his august spouse," it adds, " are not concerned in any industrial operation whatsoever. They are strangers both to politics and mercantile affairs." TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. have been greatly delighted with the cleanli ness and width of the principal streets of London, so different to the filthy and narrow lanes of our Indian cities. But there is a great defect which demands the intervention of the authorities to remove, viz., the plain and crystal iron plates which are placed over coal-holes. In rain, and especially in frosty weather, they become " as slippery as an eel," and in the dark or frost are not visible. Pedestrians too often fall in consequence. A few nights ago I saw a gentleman fall over one in Oxford-street. I believe he was severely hurt, for he was conveyed home in a cab. A few months since, on one snowy night, I myself slipped over one, but fortunately escaped with a slight bruise.—Yours, respectfully, AN INDIAN OBSERVER. London, Ist Aug. LONDON DRAINAGE.—A motion is to be made in the House of Commons this evening for the recommittal of the bill for establishing the Great London Drainage Company. The bill provides for the construction of two main sewers, to carry the drainage of the metropolis to the marshes, where it would be converted into a market. able dry manure to the extent, it is believed, of 100,000 tons annually, capable of use by agriculturists in the same form as guano. The expense of construction, which it is assumed must otherwise, in some form, be undertaken by the public, will be 900,0001., on which the promoters ask a guarantee of three per cent. for 25 years. MISCELLANEOUS SERVICES.— On Saturday some further estimates for miscellaneous services for the year ending the 31st of March, 1854, were printed in a Parliamentary document. The sum required is 228,6411., of which 70,0001. is for the new Houses of Parliament (supple mental), 4,0001. for Windsor Castle (supplemental), 20,000/. for Buckingham Palace (supplemental), 32,6411. for Battersea Park, 5,5001. for Chelsea-bridge, 35,0001. for Chelsea embankment, &c., 20,0001. for Ardglass Harbour, 4,0001. for Archer's perforating machine, 5,0001. for SirW. Snow Harris as compensation, 30,0001. for the electric telegraph (continental), and 2500/. for the Royal Dublin Society (Museum). LAND IN DEVONSHIRE. —An extensive sale of landed property was held in Barnstaple, Devonshire, last week, the results of which show how foolish were the predic tions of the Protectionists with regard to investments in land. The estates had belonged to the late Rev. 1 Prockter Thomas, and were offered for sale under an order from the Court of Chancery ; they are situated in the parishes of Swimbridge, Atherington, Fremington, Instow, Georgenympton, West Putford, and Kingsnymp ton. The principal lot was an estate called Dean, in Swimbridge, lately let on a lease of 14 years, at the rental of 175/., which was sold to Mr. Snow, of Vicarage Lawn, Barnstaple, for 5,650/., being above 32 years' pur chase ; an estate in Fremington and Instow, let at 921. 125., subject to chief rents of 5/.125., was sold to Dr. Yeo for 3,575/., being above 41 years' purchase ; a little tenement, at Instow, was sold for 4501., or 45 years' purchase on the present rental of 101. ; a farm, at Atherington, was bought by Captain Jones, of Pilton, for 1,6201., being 36 years' purchase ; another estate, in the same parish, was bought by the same party for 1,840/., rather under 30 years' purchase ; a third estate, in the same parish, was sold to Mr. Friend for 1,8201., being a little over 28 years' purchase. PARIS. —lt appears that the late Prefect of the Seine, who has just become a member of the Senate, and who has presided over the municipal works of Paris since the 2d of December, not being a sufficiently "fast man" for the superior authorities, has been succeeded by M. Haussman. Report says that he is to propose a loan of 200,000,000 of francs (eight millions sterling) to be de voted to works ! At this rate, Paris will, in ten years, be completely altered ; and, except the larger monu mental buildings, the completion of which was mainly due to the late Louis Philippe, its whole aspect will present an entirely new physiognomy. The greatest im provement would result from the abolition of the octroi, and substitution of a house tax.
