To -day's market was fairly supplied with samples of English wheat, but the bulk of them was the refuse of Monday. The imports from abroad being large, and the a tt e ndance of buyers very mo derate, the trade was in a dull state, at Monday's decline in prices. F r om abroad, wheat have come fresh 20,160 qua rters of to hand. That g rain moved off slowly, but no change t oo k place in the qu otations. Very few floating cargoes were on offer from the westwar. Barley and malt , the supplies of which were but mode . rate, sold slowly, and late rates were bar9ly maintain a ed. We were heavily supplied with oats, in which fair business was doing, at late rates. B ean s, peas, and flour m et a very dull inquiry, but no change took place in the quotations.

IMPERIAL PARLIAME:Sj. observe a railway train to see that coke put on rudely did emit smoke ; and he, therefore, should pro pose to limit the exemption to cases in which no smoke was caused. He thought no one could object to those amendments ; but if they endangered the passing of the bill, he trusted the Government would at once give them up. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE approved of the amendments, and had no objection to their introduction, upon the understanding that, if objected to elsewhere, they should be given up. He reminded the noble lord that, with respect to glass works and potteries, the bi would apply to those parts of the works which created the most noxious smoke. The amendments were then agreed to, and the report received. The Stock in Trade Exemption Bill, the Customs Tariff Act Bill, and the Customs Consolidation Act Bill seve rally passed through committee, and were reported. On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Bill was read the second time. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool sack at 5 o'clock MAJOR MOORE. Earl GRANVILLE said he was sorry again to have to trouble their lordships on the subject of India, but he wished to say a few words in explanation of a state ment affecting a gentleman, not a member of their lord ships' house, and who therefore was unable to offer any personal explanation for himself. It had been stated that Major Moore, the military secretary at Hyderabad, had warned certain persons of the risk of lending money to the Government of the Nizam, and a noble lord, not now present, inquired if the Major Moore referred to was the person who bad received a pension from the Nizam. He had received a letter from Major Moore, enclosing certain correspondence on the subject, of which he would read an abstract. The first letter, dated Bth November, 1838, was from Major Moore to the resident at Hyderabad, General Fraser, enclosing a medical certificate of illness, which obli g ed him to re sign. The second letter, dated 29th November, 1838, was from the resident to the secretary of the Governor- General, enclosing papers which he states bear ample testimony to the distinguished merits of Major Moore, and expressing his sincere concurrence in the favourable sentiments respecting him expressed by the Governor- General's commands respecting a pension of 600 rupees a month, which was spontaneously proposed to be given by tho Nizam's Government, who were impressed with a sense of the advantage which the state had derived from Major Moore's services. The third letter, dated December 27, 183 8 , was from t he secretar y of the Go vernor-General, in which it is stated that his lordship re grets the loss to the service caused by the retirement of so excellent an officer as Major Moore ; and bears testi mony to the worth, zeal, and intelligence of so distin guished a servant of the Government, but declines to sanction the acceptance of this honourable and well earned distinction, because, as a matter of precedent, his lordship felt that it would be extremely imprudent for the local Government to admit the pensioning of British officers by the Nizam's Government. Under the circumstances of Major Moore's long service and high character, his lordship has no objection to submit the offer for the orders of the Court of Directors. The Court of Directors, in a political dispatch, dated Dec. 24, 1839, state that it appears to them that the insuper able objection which would exist to the pensioning of an officer in our own service by the Nizam's Government, does not exist in the case of the local officers. These officers have no personal claim to a pension from any other quarter. As a body they are becoming gradually extinct, and they should be unwilling to stand between them and the spontaneous bounty and gratitude of the Nizam's Government, especially where those services have been so eminent as those which Major Moore has rendered to that Government as well in other forms as in the form of saving expense. They therefore sanction the acceptance by Major Moore of the pension offered to him by the Nizam's Government. PETITIONS. Lord ST. LEONARDS presented a petition from Birmingham against the South Sea Arrangement Bill. SECOND READINGS. The following bills were read a second time : Consolidated Fund Appropriation, Militia Pay, Land Tax Redemption Act Amendment, South Sea and other Annuities Provision for Payment, &c. ; Apprehension of Offenders Act Amendment, Bet ' ting Houses, Commons In closure (No. 2), Female Convicts, Loan Societies, Holy Trinity Church (Hulme), Validity Marriages, Friendly Societies ; Copyhold, &c., Commission Continuance, and Metropotan Sewers Acts HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at three o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were considered and agreed to :—Warrnigton and Altrincha,m Junction Railway (Warrington, &c.) ; Coleford, Mon mouth, Usk, and Pontypool Railway. Ruslibrooke's Divorce Bill was read a third time and passed. • CIVIL LAW (CHANNEL ISLANDS). Lord D. STUART asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in conformity with the intention announced by the Government in 1846, an in quiry had been instituted into the civil law of the Chan nel Islands ;*and, if not, whether it was the intention of the present Government to institute any such inquiry ? Lord PALMERSTON said an able commission had been appointed to inquire into the criminal law of the islands, apd they had made a report on the subject ; but he had not yet bad time to master its details. It was not the intention of the Government at present to master its details. It was not the intention of the Government at present to issue a commission respecting the criminal law. ISSUE OF HALF-CROWNS. Mr. OLIVEIRA, in reference to the report of the committee upon decimal ,eurrency, and the inconve nience felt by bankers and traders by the circulation of half-crowns and florins at the same time, asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it might not be desirable for the commer cial interest and the public generally to give orders from the Treasury to the Bank of England to discontinue any further issue of half .crowns, and to allow to be exchanged at the Mint all half-crowns that may be paid into the Bank for silver coins of other denominations, so as gradually to with draw half-crowns from circulation ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said no half-crowns had been coined by the Mint since 1850, and no further issue would take place until the Government had taken intc consideration the report of the committee on decimal coinage. REDUCTION OF DUTY ON SALT IN INDIA. Sir J. PAKINGTON asked the President of the Board of Control whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to effect any change in the mode of levying a duty upon salt manufactured in India, and whether they intended to make any reduction in the a mount of duty now paid by salt in India, whether im ported or manufactured in that country? Sir C. WOOD said he had little more to add to what he had already stated on the subject. He was as anxious as the right hon. gentleman for the reduction of the duty on salt, but he was not prepared to direct any re duction, because that was a matter which must be left to the discretion of the Government of India, having reference to the state of the finances of the country. (Hear, hear.) In consequence of the conclusion of the hostilities in Burmah, the Governor-Gene ral would be enabled to considerably reduce wou theld ex penditure of the country, and he hoped he be in, a position to diminish the dut bo y und on sa to lt. (Hear.) Sir J. PAKINGTON was say that the answer, so far as it went, was satisfactory, but he gave notice that if something was not done by the Govern ment on the subject, he would revive it again next session Continuance. The following bills went through committee, and were ordered to be read a third time :—Land Tax Com missioners' Names, Coin Defacing ; Linen, &c., Manu factures (Ireland) ; Militia Ballots Suspension and Mili tia Law Amendment. PILOTAGE BILL. The report of the amendments to this bill was con. sidered and agreed to. THIRD READINGS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Merchant Shipping ;_ Drainage of Lands (Ireland) A c t Amendment ; U n iversities (Scotland) ; Employ ment of Children in Factories ; Public Works Acts Amendments (Ireland.) UNIVERSITIES (SCOTLAND) BILL. The Earl of ABERDEEN moved the third reading of this bill. The Earl of HADDINGTON said, in the only one of the public journals which he had seen to-day, there was a very short reference to the observations he made last evening upon going into committee on this bill, giving a colouring of his opinions which he felt absolutely under the necessity of removing, as he did not wish to be mis understood on a question which excited a great deal of interest in Scotland. It was stated in that journal that he said that be thought the negative test in the present bill was a better thing than a religious test. That was not what he said. What he did say was, that he consi dered the negative test in the present bill—the declara tion in the present bill—without a religious test, a better practical security for the Church of Scotland than a general religious test would be, such as there could be any hope of carrying without the declaration. He might have added, and he thought he did add, that he thought a negative test a better practical security to the Church than the present test, which was a farce, seeing that it was quite inoperative. Those were the opinions he ex pressed, and which, in the journal to which he referred, had been misrepresented. He also stated that he consi dered, not only upon general grounds, but because of the agitation which now existed in Scotland, a religious test was due to the Church of Scotland. Such a religious _ test he afterwards took the trouble of moving in com mittee, but no reference was made in that journal to that amendment ; and it was also stated, in another part of the same paper, that the noble duke (the Duke of Ar gyll) opposed the bill proposed by the noble earl (the Earl of Aberdeen). With a view of having that amend ment put, he should, after the third reading, and before the bill passed, go through the form of moving it. The bill was then read a third time. On the question that it pass, The Earl of HADDINGTON moved the amendment to which he had referred, which was negatived, and the bill passed. PASTORAL RUNS IN VICTORIA. Sir J. PAKINGTON asked the Under Secretary for the Colonies, whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to propose any alteration of the order in council under which the tenants of pastoral runs, in the colony of Victoria, are entitled to claim leases, or to send any new instructions to the governor on the sub ject of those leases ; and whetherhe would lay on the table of the house all correspondence which has taken place between the Colonial-office and the Governor of Victoria, with respect to the rights and claims of the holders of licenses for the occupation of such lands. Mr. F. PEEL said this was one of the most import ant and difficult questions at present under the conside ration of the Government with respect to the Colonies. He was unable to say what course they would take, but it was their intention to dispose of it before the waste lands were handed over to the local legislature, and all papers would be laid on the table which were necessary to enable Parliament to form an opinion upon the subject COINAGE. In reply to Mr. THORNELBY, Mr. WILSON exculpated. the authorities of the IVll._ tor any blame in regard to the supply of coin, and stated that copper, silver, and gold coin to a considerable amount had just been issued in order to meet the wants of the country and the colonies. HACKNEY CARRIAGES BILL. Mr. WILSON said, it was now his duty to call the attention *of the house to the title of a bill which went up a few days ago to the other House of Parliament. The bill, which was lost last night, was the Hackney Carriage Duties Bill. He ought to state that in the last stages of the bill in that house an amendment was intro duced with respect to section 13, which altered a pre vious provision as to the hiring of car riage t s beyond a c ircle of four miles. He was inform ed by he authori ties at the Home-office, who had been in communication with the cabmen, that they had a distinct understanding that the clause as it stood should be a concession made to the cabmen. Under these circumstances, the autho rities at the Home-office, who had been in communica tion with the cabmen, felt that it would be a breach of this f a ith on their pant were the house not t o carry out provision. He should, therefore, move that a commi ttee be appointed to search the journals of the Lords in refer ence to the Hackney Carriage Duties Bill, and make a report to the house. The motion was agreed to. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, having presented certain papers reg arding the relations of foreign states wit h the Court of Rome, proceeded to say :—Sir, I now rise to propose that this house at its rising do adjourn till Friday next. I have already stated that before the prorogation of Parliament I would endeavour to make some explanation to the hous e of the relations at present subsisting between Russia and Turkey. I have to thank the house for its forbearance during the present session ; and in anything that I may have to say I shall not enter into anything which may be considered to be a defence of her Majesty's Government, because her Majesty's Government has not been attacked in this house. On the contrary, I th ink every disposition has been shown to leave in the hands of her Majesty's Executive Government the conduct of the negotiations in this important case. (Hear.) I have a few words to say, however, as to the production of the papers which some members of this house think ought to have been laid on the table. Upon that subject I wil l say that on reverting to what has been done on previous occasions, even in cir cumstances exceedingly critical, I have not found that it has been usual to lay on the table of the houses of Parlia ment papers relating to the negotiations, in a state similar to the negotiations which have been l ately carr i e d on, and which are n ow being carried on among the powers of Europe. I find that in the year 1840, when a convention had been signed amongst various powers of Europe, with respect to the relations of Turkey and Egypt, my hon. friend the member for Montrose (Mr. Hume) asked my noble friend the member for Tiver ton, then Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, to pro duce the convention, and lay it on the table of this house. That happened on the 6th of August, and. the prorogation of Parliament took place on the 11th of the same month. My noble friend declined to lay that convention on the table, as it was not then ratified ; but he entered into some explanation at that time, and he stated that the whole of the papers relating to the negotiations would be laid before the two houses of Parliament at a later period. In the year 1844, again, some discussions took place between this coun try and. France, with respect to an occurrence at Tahiti, but Sir R. Peel, who was then First Minister of the Crown, beyond informing the house at its last meeting, which was held in September, that an amicable adjustment of those differences had been effected, did not ake any communi cation to the house, nor lay on the table any papers. In fact, I think that, according to all practical sense with regard to these matters, the period. for laying papers before Parliament is when negotiations, whether they end ami cably or otherwise, have been brought to some conclusion which would enable the Government to say that they were in a state to be communicated to the house. It has been alleged that on a late occasion I departed from this prac• ti by laying on the table of the house papers relating to transactions which took place at Florence in the case of the Madiais. But I beg to observe that that was a nego tiation which, on the part of her Majesty's Government, had been entirely concluded. I had. thought it necessary to make representations in strong language to the Tuscan Government. I received a communication in answer to those representations, and it had not been my intention to proceed with any further representations or negotiations. I had. wished. r ather to appeal to the public opinion of t his country and of Europe on that subject, and I had no in tention of entering into any further negotiations with re gard to it. Therefore the house will see that the papers in that case were in a fit state to be laid before Parliament. Now, with regard to what took place in the differences which have arisen between Russia and Turkey, all I pro pose to do at present is to give an outline to the house of the transactions as they occurred, and to state what is the present position of the negotiations. Ido not propose to refer —it would. not be fair or right in me to refer—to any papers that are in the nature of secret papers, and. which have not been laid before Parliament. I will only refer to those transactions which I believe must have become known to this house and to the country, by the publica tion of different State papers, and by the course which THE SMOKE NUISANCE. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, in moving that the house go into committee on the Smoke Nuisance Abate ment (Metropolis) Bill, observed that it was a measure of considerable importance, because it affected the comfort not only of their lordships, but of every one in the metropolis, and every class of society. He believed they were all aware, though they might not be aware of the whole extent to which it had taken place, that they had been for years past subject to the gradual encroachment, not of an invisible element, but at least of an element whose approaches were so gradual that the whole extent could hardly be appre ciated, and at this moment, and for years past, they had been living, not under the canopy of heaven, but under one of their own creation. (Hear, hear.) The experi ments of the last seven years had abundantly proved that their lordships could with perfect safety, without imposing any burdens upon individuals beyond some amount of attention and trouble, require the extinction and consumption of all smoke generated by manufactur ing establishments. It was proposed by this bill, that after the Ist of August of next year all furnaces should be compelled t o consume their own smoke, with the the e xception of glass w orks and potteries, throughout metropolitan districts, and the bill included the steam boats on the river. There was an impression that this was a sort of dilettanti measure, only sought for for the benefit of the rich, and the preservation of works of art. He should be the last to say that works of art should not be protected, while it was the policy of the Legisla ture to amass in the metropolis collections of the most valuable description. He thought that object alone was deserving the protect in g hand of their lordships. (Hear, hear.) But so far from its being only for the interest of the richer classes, only affecting the feelings of amateurs and preservation of works of art—it affected every of class of the community and the generalcleanliness the metropolis, for there was no housekeeper who was not able to vouch for the increased difficulty in maintaining the commonest cleanliness in consequence of the nuisance which this bill would abate. The smoke so affected the clothing of the working classes that it was computed every mechanic paid at least five times the amount of the original cost of his shirt for the number of washings ren dered necessary. Therefore, in proposing this bill, he was assuming the functions of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as it would make a considerable !eduction of a duty levied upon the whole community not the less rigorously because they were hardly aware of it. (Hear, hear.) The bill, while affording that relief, did so with singular care—he might almost say more care than was necessary for the interests of the parties upon whom it would operate, because, although six months was first proposed to be allowed for every manufacturer to pro vide himself with this machinery, that period had been extended to the Ist of August next. The provisions of the bill were the same as had been adopted in various local acts of Parliament. There were five or six places, including a p art of the metropolis (White chapel) in which provisions for this purpose were en forced ; and in many instances in which persons had been compelled to adopt the new machinery they had found themselves benefitted in point of economy by the change. He thought it unnecessary to say more upon a matter so obviously for the public advantage. The bill then passed through committee. Lord REDESDALE, in moving that the report be received, congratulated the house and the country upon the introduction of this bill, and expressed his obliga tions to the Government for having undertaken to pass so necessary a measure. He had himself carried two bills for the same purpose through their lordships' house, but not receiving the support of the Government, it was impossible to carry them through the other house of Par liament. If this bill did not do all he desired, it was still a great improvement. He regretted that the ope ration of the bill was postponed, as it created unneces sary delay ; but since that was an agreement come to for the withdrawal of certain opposition, he should not in terfere with it. He regretted also that glass works and potteries were excepted. A bill had passed that very year for the improvement of Newcastle -on-Tyne, where more glass was made than in any other place in England, and no such exemption had been required in that in stance. He considered that a great blot upon the mea sure ; but he should not propose any alteration. He should, however, move amendments to make the words of the enacting clause the same as the preamble, with respect to steam-vessels between London -bridge and Richmond -bridge, and to modify the third clause, which provided that no penalty should attach where only coke or other fuel, not emitting smoke, was used. With re spect to . that proviso it would enable parties to evade the operation of the act ; and it was only necessary to T HE BRITISH ASSOCIATION . — The British Association for the Advancement of Science i n tends commeliull,ncing on its sittings for the present year at Singston - upo n Wednesday, the 7th of SepteMler.

Shortly after, on the 15th of August, 1843, just Turkish Ministers were prepared to send to Vienna, and ten years ago my noble friend the member for Tiverton question of the Holy Places at Jerusalem by the Russian subsequently to St. Petersburg, communication based with his usual ability, made a well-known speech on the Minister at this Court ; and I was told that the question upon the former note in its a mode of meeting the policy of the noble earl, in which he gave a masterly sketch y demands of Russia, and in respect to which I think that, of our true policy in the East.
