HOUSE OF LORDS—(THIS EVENING.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock.ll The Earl of POWIS presented a petition from the poor law union of Cardigan, against the Poor Law Re moval Bill. The Earl of DERBY presented petitions, praying for the inspection of nunneries. . _ Lord BROUGHAM presented petitions praying for the prevention of the sale of spirituous liquors ori Sun day. The noble and learned lord also asked the Lord Chancellor whether had any objection to lay upon the table a copy of the instructions issued to the commis sioners for consolidating the statute law. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the instruc tions of the commissioners had not yet been reduced to writing. THE EASTERN QUESTION. Or The Earl of MALMESBURY asked the noble earl at the head of foreign affairs, whether her Majesty's Government intended to answer the two circular notes in the same public manner as they had been given to the world, and in the same manner as the French Govern ment had answered them. He himself did not agree in the premises of those notes, but he thought the time was now come when the dignityof this countrydemanded that they should be answered, for if longer delay took place, the silence of her Majesty's Government might be con strued into a sign of their being unable or afraid to answer them. The Earl of CLARENDON said her Majesty's Go vernment had only delayed the discussion of this ques tion from a consideration of interests of peace. The mode of producing and affording information was very different in Russia and France to what it was in this country. In these countries the Government could pro duce information in what manner it pleased, but here it was the custom to lay all the papers bearing upon the subject at once before Parliament. That would shortly be done. Of course it was not for him to speak with regard to the ability of her Majesty's Government to answer the Rus sian circular, but as to there being any fear of answering them he could assure the noble earl that no such appre hension rested either in his own mind or in that of her Majesty's Government. No regular answer had yet been sent to the first note because the greater part of it al luded to proceedings which originated with the French Embassy with regard to the Holy Places. The points of it however had been considered in substance, though not in the form of a regular answer. With regard to the second circular note, which was one of a different character, and which certainly did require a regular answer, it was answered immediately, and the answer was sent to St. Petersburgh. That answer was entirely in conformity with the note of the French Government, as he might add the whole of our proceedings had been. The Earl of MALMESBURY said the circular notes being an appeal to all Europe, and intended to be read by every person in Europe who could read, they could scarcely be considered in the light of private correspond. ence, and he could not help regretting that her Ma jesty's Government had not made a public answer to them. Lord BEAUMONT wished to know when her Ma jesty's Government th oug ht th ey would be able to lay their papers before Parliament. The utmost publicity was given to the actions and policy of Russia, while the actions and policy of this country were enveloped in mystery. Sure, it was said that negotiations were still going on, but Russia was acting as if no negotiations whatever was on foot. The Earl of CLARENDON said that it had been no small sacrifice to the Government to ask for a postpone ment of the discussions on this subject, or to delay laying the papers on the table. Her Majesty's Government felt that Parliament had a right to discuss the subject in the fullest manner, and to be furnished with the fullest infor information. A few days, a very few days, would be sufficient to show whether the negotiations going on would succeed ; and whether they succeeded or not, the whore papers should be laid upon the table. (Cheers.) The Marquis of CLANRICARDE asked whether the Government had received any information at to the Russians hauing assumed to civil government, of Moldavia. The Earl of CLARFNDON said the Government had received no information of the kind, but he had every reason to believe that the Hospodar was still in possession of the administration of the country. The subject then dropped. TRANSPORTATION BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill, and was [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. NEW MEMBERS. Mr. DANIEL O'CONNELL and Mr. CORNELIUS O'BRIEN took the oaths and their seats, the one for Tralee and the other for the county of Clare. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were considered and agreed to : Bideford Extension Railway, Great Southern and Western Railway (Ireland), Great Western Railway (Henley), Llanidloes and Newton Railway, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway (Barnsley), Moore's (Brown's Trustees) Estate, Waveney Valley Railway, and Whitechapel Improvement Bill. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Castlemaine Estuary Reclamation, Poulnassherry In closure, South Wales Railway (Deviation), and War rington and Altrincham Junction Railway (Warrington, &c.) The following bill was considered, and ordered to be read a third time : Dean Forest, Monmouth, Usk, and Pontypool Rail. way. The following bills were read a second time, and ordered to be committed : Clitheree School Estate, Earl of Egremont's Estate, and Sunderland Town Moor and Freemen's Orphan Asylum. PETITIONS. Sir J. WALMSLEY presented a p e titi on f rom a Baptist congregation against the Government Educa tion Bill. Sir R. H. INGLIS presented a petition from the Trustees and Governors of St. Bartholomew's Hospital against the Charitable Trusts Bill. Mr. INGHAM presented a petition from South Shields against the sale of intoxicating drinks on Sundays. Uol. BLAIR presented four petitions from Ayrshire, praying the house to pass the Inspection of Nunneries Bill. Mr. CRAVEN BERKELEY presented a petition to the same effect. Mr. V. SMITH presented a petition from the Nor thampton Savings Bank, suggesting alteration s in the F.aving4 Banks Bill. WOODS AND FORESTS. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY wished to ask the Secretary to the Treasury when the Commissioners of the Trea. sury will place on the table of the house copies of the annual accounts to the 30th day of November, 1852, of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests and of Works and Public Buildings, according to the provisions of the act 14th and 15th Victoria, c. 42, s. 39, which,direct that such accounts, duly audited, should be presented on or before the 31st day of March, 1853 ? Mr. WILSON said what the hon. baronet stated was quite true, but by some accident the accounts were not presented to the Audit-office until late in March, but they were in an advanced state of preparation, and they would be laid on the table before the end of the session. PIT ACCIDENT. the l*, HUTCHINS drew the attention of the house to circumstances connected with the recent accident in Butt worth's coal-mine, Oldham, which was attributable to defective ventilation , and inasmuch as a similar acci dent from th e same cause occurred two or three years ago, he wish e d to red to send knew a whether the Government was matter. commissioner to inquire into the Mr. FITZROY said the proceedings of the coroner's inquest were only rece i ved at theflo Horn office this morn ing, but no doubt his noble friend at the head of the Home Department would take all the steps which the case might require. THE CAMP AT CROBITA . m , Sir J. V. SHELLEY drew attention to the dreadful state of the Camp at Chobham, and re a d an extract from the Morning Post to show the pa ss t o w hi ch matters had come through the rain. He wished to know whether, under such circumstances, it was not the duty of the military authorities to remove the troops from this swamp? Lord J. RUSSELL said he could give no other answer than that he believed the subject would receive every attention at the hands of the Commander-in-Chief and the Secretary -at-War. CHATHAM DOCKYARD. In reply to a question, Sir J. GRAHAM said that the statement which had appeared in a morning print relative to the appoint ment of a Pipe Inspector to Chatham Dockyard was substantially correct, but political considerations were not allowed to influence the decision whic'a had been come to, SAVINGS BANKS DEPOSITS. Sir 11. WILLOUGHBY wished to ask the Chan cellor of the Exchequer if any moneys of the savings banks of the United Kingdom have been employed in the purchase of Exchequer Bills since the 20th day of November, 1852 ; and if so, to what amount and by what authority ; and whether he has any objection to palace the account of such moneys and date of the pur chases on the table of the house? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that moneys received from the trustees of the savings banks had been invested in Exchequer Bills upon the authority of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and there would be no objection to produce the account. It was right, however, that he should state that portions of the account had already been laid before Parliament. ARTERIAL DRAINAGE. Mr. P. URQUHART wished to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is the intention of the Go vernment to include in the Consolidated Annuity Debt, which is about to be remitted to Ireland, any portion of the advances made for purposes of arterial drainage, in cases in which such advances were, in consequence of the famine, notoriously misapplied. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied in the negative. THE RECENT AFFAIR IN SMYRNA. Sir J. WALMSLEY wished to ask the noble lord the member for the city of London, whether he could communicate to the house any information with respect to the violation of the Turkish territory by the captain of an Austrian ship of war, who is reported to have seized a Hungarian refugee resident at Smyrna, and to have carried him on board the Austrian vessel without the concurrence of the Turkish. authorities ; and also whether it was true, as reported, that the Austrian Go vernment had demanded the expulsion of all the Hun garian refugees from Turkey ? Lord J. RUSSELL reminded the house of the pro ceedings which Turkey took some two years ago in reference to Hungarian refugees. Austria demanded that the refugees should be delivered up to her custody, but Turkey declined to accede to the request, and sent them to America. Amongst these was the individual in question, Kossta ; but instead of remaining in America, he returned to Smyrna ; and the Austrian captain, in stead of applying to Turkey for his expulsion, carried him off on board his vessel, and the subject was now a matter of negotiation between the three powers of Turkey, Austria, and America. With regard to the second question, no such intelligence as that stated by the honourable member had been received by the Government. A WINTER SESSION. Mr. DRUMMOND gave notice of his intention on a future day to ask the Government whether arrange ments could not be made for holding a permanent winter session. PETERBOROUGH ELECTION. Mr. BRIGHT moved for a select committee to in quire into the allegations contained in the petitions o certain electors and inhabitants of the city of Peter borough, which were presented upon the Ist day of July, complaining of the interference of Earl Fitzwilliam, a peer of the realm, at the election in December last, and at previous elections of members to serve in Parliament for the said city. The hon. member stated that for more than a century the borough had been under the influence of the Fitzwilliam family, and out of the 500 elec tors, no less than 220 were tenants of Lord Fitzwilliam. He proceeded to dwell upon the practice of giving head money, then, after reading a letter addressed to a lady by Lord Fitzwilliam's steward, refusing to receive her as tenant, on the ground that the vote might so be lost to Lord Fitzwilliam. He gave instances in which per ions had been served with 'notices to quit for refusing to vote, or voting contrary to the wishes of Lord Fitz william. He asserted that the late petition was not bona fide, but got up and carried on at the expense of Lord Fitzwilliam, and concluded by moving that a select committee be appointed for the purpose of making in quiries. - Mr. FITZWILLIAM, in rising to second Mr. Bright's motion, explained the statements made by Mr. Bright respecting the serving notices to quit upon Lord Fitzwilliam's tenants, he denied the allegations in the petition, that no one in the borough could give an inde pendent vote without exposing himself to losses and in convenience of every description, and appealed in refu tation to the fact that not only had there been several contested elections within the last few years, but there was actually a member for Peterborough sitting in the house whose political opinions were at variance with that of Lord Fitzwilliam. After a few words from Mr. Hung and Mr. R PALMER, Mr. IiIVETT did not think it would be advisable to nominate this committee until the Peterborough elec tion petition had been disposed of. Lord J. RUSSELL said he did not object to the present motion, but he thought it would be inconvenient that there should be two committees sitting at the same time on almost the same same subject, while at this period of the session it was hardly possible that the inquiry could close before the prorogation. Mr. HUME said the inquiry was of an entirely differ ent character to that of the election petitions, which did not impute corruption, but want of qualification, to Mr. Whalley. Mr. E. DENISON complained of the late period at which the petition was presented, which, he said, was contrary to all Parliamentary precedents. Mr. WHALLEY said the petition was intrusted to him some months ago, but motives of delicacy prevented his presenting it. He entreated the home to appoint the committee and remove Peterborogh from its present state of suspense. Mr. V. SMITH did not think it would be advisable to appoint this committee while the election petition was pending. The motion was then wined to. SUCCESSION' DUTY BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this bill, Mr. LIDDELL roso and was (LEFT SPEAKING.) ELECTION COMMITTEES.-(THIS DAY.) CLITHEROE. This committee which sat for the first time on Satur day, and is appointed to inquire into the petition against the return of Mr. Aspinall, for Clitheroe, re-assembled again this morning. The chief allegation of the petitioners is, that Mr. Aspinall rendered himself ineligible to stand as a candi date at the last election, in consequence of being mixed up in the corrupt practices at the election in, July, 1852, when he was an unsuccessful candidate. The examina tion of one witness had only just commenced on Saturday, when a point arose as to whether the petitioners were entitled to enter into evidence to prove Mr. Aspinall's connection with those practices, and after counsel on both sides addressed themselves to the point, the committee reserved their decision until this morning, when, after further deliberation with closed doors, they announced that they had unanimously come to a resolution, to the effect that evidence of bribery and corrupt treating could not be admitted, under the terms of the petition, as regards the election of 1852, unless it was proved to have been committed by Mr. Aspinall himself, or by an agent, with his consent or knowledge. John Welsby, a canvasser for Mr. Aspinall at the election in 1852, was then called, and he deposed that he received sums of money from Messrs. Hall and Bald win, to take round with him and spend with the voters. Mr. Slade objected to this evidence of treating, unless it was proved to have been committed by Mr. Aspinall, or his agents, with his knowledge or consent. Some evidence was then adduced as to treating at the Swan, in 1852, while Mr. Aspinall was himself in the house, and at four the committee adjourned until eleven to-morrow. CRICKET.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 18, 185 3. WEST INDIA MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 17. The Royal mail steamship Orinoco, Lieutenant P. Hast, R.N., commander, has arrived here with the West India and Pacific mails, in charge of Lieutenant' Ponsonby, R.N., Admiralty agent. Her dates are : Chagrcs June 251 Martinique J une 28 G rey to wn Carthagena — 25 Dominique — 29 Jamaica — 27 Antigua Jacmel — 28 Montserrat .. Porto Rico July 2 Nevis Demerara June 26 St. Kitts Tobago — 26 Tortola Trinidad - 26 St. Thomas.. Barbadoes — 28 Valparaiso... Grenada — 28 Callao St. Vincent — 26 Panama.. St. Lucia — 28 The Orinoco has experienced fine weather. She brings 70 passengers, among whom is the French General de Fitti de Soucy, who has just terminated a general inspection of all the fortifications, troops, and public works throughout the French West India colonies ; also Madame Vaillant, the wife of Rear-Admiral Vaillant, the Governor of Marti nique, and Commander-in-Chief of the French naval forces in the West Indies. On freight, the Orinoco brings specie value $558,516, 103 serons of cochineal, 43 serons of in digo, 136 serons of bark, 82 casks of copper ore, 134 bales of sarsaparilla, 26 casks of ginger, 2 cases of tortoiseshell, 8 cases of succades, 14 barrels of bees'-wax, and sundry merchandise. The Royal mail steamship La Plata, with the mails of the 17th of June, arrived at St. Thomas's from Southampton on the 30th ult. The Royal mail steamer Avon was in the Gulf of Mexico ; the Conway and Esk, at Jamaica ; the Dee, at Bar badoes ; the Derwent, Eagle, and Trent, at St. Thomas's ; and the Medway in the Spanish Main. During the Orinoco's stay at St. Thomas's fever of a malignant type broke out on board.; the fifth engineer, one fireman, and one seaman died while there, and on the voyage home 11 others were added to the fatal list. The last death took place on the 9th inst. ; since then no fresh cases have occurred, and the ship is now healthy. The follow ing is the list of deaths:—Mr. Bibby, fifth engineer, and William Downharn, fireman, died on the 28th of June • James Manson, seaman, on the 2d of July ; dr. Quarrie, third engineer, and Samuel Martin, waiter, on the 3d of July • E. Loosemore, fireman, on the 4th o f J u l y ; irederick Willis, waiter, and George Harris, seaman, on the sth of July ; Jane Pope, stewardess, on the 6th of July ; Richard Burnet, seaman, Mrs. Lester, late stewardess of the Av on , an d William Fox, seaman, on the '7th of July ; George Powell, waiter, on the Bth of July ; and George Mitchell, invalid, on the 9th of July. From Jamaica our dates are to the 27th ult. Affairs up to the departure of the packet on the 27th of June, remained in the same un settled state. No steps towards reconciliation had been taken by the Council or the Assembly ; all public business had been brought to a standstill and the treasury continued closed against all claimants. In consequence of the want of imme diate funds to meet the expenses of the Penitentiary a considerable number of convicts had been dis charged ! The yellow fever had not abated its ravages among the shipping of Kingston, and som e fatal cases had occurred on shore. The sub ject of copper mining continued to attract great attention, and confidence is felt that the mineral wealth of the island will ultimately justify very high expectations. General discontent, to a great extent, exists amonc , the community, i n conse quence of the anarchical'' state into which the country is now plunged. It is of course, felt that the pre sent state of things cannot continue without the most grievous consequences to the well-being of the island, but though the Governor and Council labour under much unpopurality, it would be a great mistake to suppose that their opponents in the Assembly are in the full possession of public confidence ; they are held in but slight esteem, and the necessity is becoming more and more felt of some vigorous act on the part of the mother county, both to remedy existing dissensions and place on a sounder basis the future constitution of the colony. The differences between Peru and Bolivia have reached such a point as to bid fair for actual war. China is going on quietly and prosperously. Barbadoes on the 28th of June was healthy throughout--the young crop more luxuriant than had been seen for many years. 36,000 hogsheads of sugar had been shipped, 2,000 or 3,000 more ready to be shipped, and about 1,000 to be made. Ships were wanted to take away the molasses and sugar. .. - 30 .. - 30 .. - 30 .. July 1 May 31 Juno 12 22 During the last month refreshing rains have fallen in British Guiana, and the cane cultivation has quite recovered the late severe drought. Trade is very dull, and provisions scarce and dear. Another Colonial School Bill has been proposed, and is likely to give general satisfaction, the promoters having discarded the erroneous idea of introducing a purely secular education. The bishop's college for prepar ing candidates for the ministry of the Church of England and for the training of schoolmasters for this important diocese has been opened, and we wish it every success. The yellow fever has for a few weeks remained dormant, but we regret to add that it has made its reappearance among the shipping. A revolution has broken out at Venezuela, and active hostilitities have commenced between the Government and insurgents. The city of Cumanas made a pronunciamento on the sth of June against the Government of General Monagas, and this commenced the movement. The citizens of Cume nas had also issued a document, containing seven articles, as a sort of declaration of independence. The revolution is said to be instigated by the ad herents of General Paez. The insurgents had marched upon the city of Valencia (the second city of Venezuela), but had there been repulsed on two different occasions, losing one of their generals, who was wounded and captured. General Ma rino was a prisoner in Caraccas, the capital ; and that city at the last account remained faithful to the Government. Reinforcements of 500 troops were leavin g Caraccas, under the comm an d o f Ge neral Silva, to march to the assistance of Valencia, and General Sohllo, with a considerable number of soldiers, was marching to attack the insurgents at Cumanas. The city of Guiria had capitulated to the insurgents, and the Government authorities . _ had been permitted to embark for the English colony of Trinidad. It was further stated that the island of Margarita had declared for the insurgents, and that the Governor had been shot. The move ment, therefore, appears to be pretty general. La Guayra was in arms in favour of the Government. The Trinidadian states that 7,000 doubloons had been sent to Trinidad by the Monegas family for safe keeping. As a great trade is carried on between Venezuela and Trinidad, and much money is owing by the Venezuelan merchants to the dealers of Trinidad, great anxiety was manifested respecting the re7olution, which would have the effect of put ting, a stop to mercantile transactions. At Maiurin the pronunciamento was received with satisfaction, and a p:ovisional Government at once established in favour of the new orderof things. Direct letters state that General Sohllo having left Barcelona with 900 men to unite his forces with those of President Monagas, advantage of his absence was immediately taken by the inhabitants to declare their adhesion to the Provisional Go vernment, and General Brito at the head of 300 men had put himself in a position to protect the pronunciamento of the Fedeialists, for sech the in surgents had declared themselves to be. Sohllo subsequently made a retrogade movement, but no collision had taken place—no intelligence of the movement had reached Bolivia at the last account from that city. From Trinidad we learn that the sugar crop had been nearly reaped, and would not turn ou t so short as was generally anticipated, the deficit over the shipments to the corresponding date of last year being only 500 hogsheads, notwithstanding the scarcity of tonna3 , e to carry away the crops. The yellow fever is represented as raging with worse virulence than ever at St. Thomas's not alone in the harbour, but also in the island. Dur ing the time the Orinoco was lying there, she had 33 cases and three deaths. The last case occurred on the Bth inst. ; the last death on the 7th. The fol lowing deaths are also reported by this mail Mr. Ramsay, chief engineer of the Trent ; Mr. Halmond, chief engineer of the Dan7ent ; the fifth engineer of the Trent, name unknown ; and Lieu tenant Warren, Admiralty agent of the Eagle. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MALTA, JULY 12. A steamer from Odessa reached Constantinople on the 4th, it is said, with official news that the Russian troops would enter the Principalities on the sth. The 4th corps, commanded by General Dannenberg, is to occupy the provinces, while General Liiders, with the sth corps, is to cross the Pruth. Lieutenant Rocke, 49th Regiment, has proceeded to England on leave by the screw•stcamer British Queen. Lieutenant Boyle and Lieutenant Ideate, R.A., have gone to Sicily on leave of absence. Captain Powell, 49th Regiment, has proceeded to England on leave. Lieutenant Naugle, 47th Regiment, has also quitted Malta on leave. PORTSMOUTH, JULY 11 THE COURT. The Fairy Royal yacht, Captain Crispin, bearing the broad pendant of Commodore Lord Adolphus Fitzcla rence, G.C.H., A.D.C., hauled alongside the jetty at the Clarence-yard yesterday, in readiness to embark the Court. The special train, in charge of Mr. Crombie, secretary, and Mr. Scott, traffic manager of the South- Western Railway, arrived in the precincts of the port at 4 o'clock, when the Royal standard was saluted by the Victory and Neptune with 21 guns. Her Majesty was received on alighting from the train by Port-Admiral K.C.E., Ad m i ra l-S uper i n t en dent Major-G enera l Si mpson an d s t a ff, Colonel Menz'es, A.D.C., Commodore Lord h Adolphus Fitzclannee, Capten-Superintendent Court- F Si a r n T sh h a o wme Thomas Cochrane, C.B. r ; e, Court ney, Master-attendant Davies, R.N., and Mr. Pinhorne, R.N., storekeeper. The guard of honour was fur nished by the 42d Highlanders, with their band and pipes, commanded by Major Tulloch. The Fairy left the jetty at a quarter past 4, and arrived at East Cowes at 5 o'clock. The Royal sojourn at Osborne will be about a week, but it is expected her Majesty will re visit it about the 2d or 3(1 proximo, when, if circum stances in the meantime do not compel the departure or distribution of the fleet, a review at Spithead is con templated in her Majesty's presence. THE SPITHEAD FLEET. The Agamemnon, 91, screw, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, C. 8., bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Corry, returned from her trial cruise on Friday night, at 8 o'clock. The results we give below. The fleet is to be a ugmented by the Neptune, 120, Captain Scott ; the Queen, 116, Captain Mitchell ; the Terrible paddle frigate, 21, Captain M'Cleverty ; the Barracouta, 6, paddle sloop, Commander G. Parker, &c. The Duke of Wellington, 131, is recalled to the fleet. The En counter got away this morning from St. Helen's in search of her. The Blenheim, 60, Captain Henderson, C. 8., it appears, has gone on to Kingstown, Dublin. The Hogue, 60, Captain Ramsay, has taken the position vacated by the Duke of Wellington, so that the fleet at anchor at Spithead is now moored thus : WEST.

Yesterday, as the Royal yachts, with the Queen and Court on board, approached the fleet, en route to Osborne, the Prince Regent led off a general Royal salute. The ships were each dressed in colours from the water's edge to their mastheads, and although a very strong breeze was blowing, th e i r yards were manned in most seaman like style, a manceuvre we have not seen represented at Spithead on so extensive a scale for many years. The salute was gran d an d imposing in the extreme, and might easily have been imagined a cannonade of a very different character. Many thousands of spectators ran to the walls and beach to witness the interest ing spectacle. The Agamemnon seemed the chief object of curiosity in the fleet. This ship's return was very opportune. Since she left Spithead on Friday night, the Bth inst., she has been cruising 60 miles to the west ward of Scilly. Her trials have been chiefly under sail, for the p urpose of ascertaining whether by trimming the ship by the head or by the stern, they could decide the amount of weather helm she invariably carries, and which renders her by no means safe when approaching a close anchorage. In a fresh breeze on a wind she invariably carried one turn and a-half weather helm (when in her proper trim), and by bringing the 12 fore most guns in the ship (upwards of 40 tons) right aft to the mizenmast it was found they made but a very slight alteration in her favour—barely a quarter of a turn ; and, on the contrary, transferring the guns from aft forward only increased the amount of wea- ther helm. With the wind abeam or on the quarter, blowing fresh, and with no after sail, her weather helm was considerably increased, and it was with the greatest difficulty the ship could be kept free, and the strain on the tiller ropes became very great, taking six men at the wheel to steer the ship. The conclusion, therefore arrived at is, that a false keel is ab solutely necessary—about one foot in depth abaft taper ing off to nothing forward. Under canvas the Agamem non is the astonishment of all aboard ; many say she is the stiffest ship they were ever in, and very fast ; in deed, she behaves nobly ; her speed, with the wind abeam under royals, being 114 knots per hour, or as fast as the Royal yacht can steam ! She was off the Lizard on Fri day morning at 4 o'clock, and anchored at Spithead at 8, a run not done every day under sail alone. Her steaming trials are not of sufficient consequence to men tion, as steaming was not the subject of her trial cruise. She took the Comus, 18 gun sloop in tow, on leaving the Knab, on the 18th inst., on her way down channel, as far as the Start, and although the Agamemnon had Only three boilers in use, she was obliged to slacken her speed, as she was towing the sloop nearly bows under ! It is expected the Agamemnon will be docked to have the improvement above mentioned made to her keel ; the ship will then be matchless. Rear-Admiral Corry struck his flag on board the Agamemnon yesterday, and rehoisted it in his own ship the Prince Regent. The Princess Royal, 91, new screw ship, is receiving her engines with all expedition in the steam factory basin. The remainder of her boilers and machinery ar rived in the Cyclops steam sloop yesterday afternoon from the Thames. The Alfred, 50, was brought down from her mooring yesterday, to be dismasted and docked for repair. The Dasher steam-vessel, Commander Lefebvre, was undocked yesterday, having her stern frame repaired, &c. She will return to the Channel Island fisheries in a day or two.

An brdcr has been received to forward the equipment of the Tribune, 30, screw steam frigate, Captain the Hon. S. P. Carnegie, with all the available force of the establishment here; the artificers are working extra hours, and she is to be ready to leave here on the 27th inst. to join the Channel fleet at Spithead. Under the present Admiralty regulations, every line of battle ship, not being fitted with the screw-propeller, will have a steam ship of war attached to her, to assist as circumstances may require. The Barracouta, 6, paddle-wheel steam-sloop Com mander George Parker, has received orders to prepare for her departure from here to join the Channel fleet at Spithead ; she is completing her stores, ammunition, &c., for that purpose, and will be ready to leave in a few days. The Dutch East Indiaman Jan Hendrik, Commander H. de Jong, now in her Majesty's dry dock here, has completed the discharge of her cargo, and an especial survey (on request) has this day been commenced on her hull by Mr. James Martin and Mr. Charles R. Coker, from Lloyds', London. TESTIMONIAL TO WM. DARGAN.—The meeting con vened for the purpose of paying a tribute of respect and gratitude to Wm. Dargan, who originated and got up, at his own sole expense, the Great Industrial Exhibi tion of 1853, was held on Thursday in the round room of the Rotunda. The object of the meeting, unlike that of a political assemblage, was not one for which popular passions were enlisted, and the proceedings were intended THE CHOLERA.—A letter from Copenhagen, Bth, says : to consist more in actual business than in speechifying, " The cholera, which has hitherto only raged among so that the great hall in which the meeting was h e ld was the working classes in this city, has begun to extend its far from being so crowded as we have seen it on many other ravages among the higher classes of society.

LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH-COAST RAILWAY. The report of the directors and the half-yearly state ment of accounts have been issued. The capital account shows that the amount raised on the 30th June, 1853, was 7,365,2421., consistingof mortgage debt, 1,712,012/. ; preference capital, 1,037,596/. ; consolidated stock, 4,615,6341; together, 7,365,2421. The total amount expended during the past half-year has been 85,2071., of which 58,1561. has been expended on the fourth line and Crystal Palace branch, and on the enlargement of the London-bridge terminus ; 16,037/. on additional stock to meet the requirements of the goods traffic, and to pro vide for the Crystal Palace traffic ; and 9,7351. on sid ings, cottages, and other works rendered necessary for the safety of the public, and for the accommodation of the increasing traffic. The revenue account shows that the gross receipts for the half-year have been 271,9451., exhibiting an increase of 23,1361. over the corresponding half-year of 1852. Of this increase 7,8841. arises from the goods traffic, and 8,2001. from the traffic on the Croydon and Epsom line, which the directors state has already received a rapid development from the construc tion of the Crystal Palace. A tabular statement given in the report informs us that the miles run by trains for the half-year ending 30th June, 1852, were 723,015, and the total receipts (ex cluding cartage), 240,694/, ; fur the half-year ending 31st Dec., 1852, the train mileage was 837,178 miles, and the receipts 323,7541. (excluding cartage) ; and for the June six months of the present year the miles run by trains were 826,458, and the receipts (excluding cartage) 263,1431. The total expenses (including cart age) for the half-year ending June, 1852, amounted to 113,754/. ; to 137,400/. for thepecember half-year ; and to 125,364/. for the last half-year. The report proceeds to state : " The principal items of additional expenditure are occasioned by the necessity of maintaining the line and the rolling stock in the highest state of efficiency, in order to meet the continuous increase of traffic, The unfa vourable weather during the past winter was also a source of additional expense, requiring extraordinary exertions to restore the road to its accustomed state. The general rise in the price of materials, and wages of labour, is also an obvious cause of increased expenditure, and, on the whole, the directors feel every reason to be satisfied with the result, that after charging to revenue every item which is in any way attributable to file cur rent expenses of the half-year, 11,525/. out of the 23,1361. by which the gross revenue has increased, remains as net profit applicable to the payment of interest and divi dend. "The time has now arrived when the state of the capital account, and the course to be adopted hereafter, with regard to the reserve and sinking funds, require serious consideration. For the reasons stated in the last half-yearly report, the expenditure on the fourth line, the Crystal Palace branch, and the London-bridge terminus, will greatly exceed the original estimate. This outlay, arising in a great measure from the scale of grandeur and magnificence, so far exceeding the first an ticipations, on which the Crystal Palace and park are being carried out, will, the directors confidently believe, prove most beneficial for the permanent interests of this company, and the arrangement with the Crystal Palace Company has been so far modified that the sum upon which this company is to receive 4 per cent, as a first charge out of the fund arising from joint bookings, has been extended from 50,0001. to 150,0001. "Independently, however, of this special source of expenditure, the experience of the last two years, both upon the Brighton and all the principal railways of the kingdom, has conclusively shown that with a constantly increasing traffic a constant necessity arises for an outlay upon objects of a permanent character, and which, in the ordinary course of similar commercial enterprises, would be chargeable to capital. The merchant or manufacturer whose business doubles cannot escape the necessity of embarking in it an increased capital, and the same ne cessity is felt by railway companies even with more force, from the pressure upon them of public opinion to extend accommodation, and to provide the utmost possible secu rity for the public safety. " Upon the Brighton and South Coast Railway the goods traffic has in less than five years increasod from an average of about 1,0001. to an average of nearly 3,0001. per week. The total number of passengers conveyed annually has increased from 2,485,778 to 3,525,273, and the annual receipts from season tickets from 10,4271. to 24,1871. In each branch of the traffic the improvement is steadily and rapidly progressive, and, according to all ordinary calculation, a still further extension must be anticipated. "Under these circumstances it is impossible to avoid a continually increasing demand for sidings, warehouses, sheds, working stock, station accommodation, and ail the appliances of an increased traffic. Moreover, every accident, or even risk of accident, whether on this or upon other lines of railway, suggests precautions and improvements which involve additional outlay. At one time additional signals, at another additional sidings, improved carriages, cottages for watchmen on exposed parts of the line, and, in short, a thousand different pre cautions, which experience only can suggest, force them selves imperatively on the directors in a manner which cannot be resisted. The consequence of this has been to derange all calculations based on the state of things actually existing at the period at which such calcula tions were made, and to lead to the inevitable conclusion that while the railway system is in a state of such rapid development, it is impossible to assign beforehand any precise limit to the expenditure of capital. " The directors do not hesitate to say that such has been the case as regards the Brighton Railway, and that the limit of capital to which they looked forward, when an income of 500,0001. a year appeared a sanguine esti mate, must be exceeded under the altered aspect of a traffic which has already reached upwards of 600,0001. a year, and which is daily expanding. Irrespective of the 150,0001., the interest on which is guaranteed from joint bookings with the Crystal Palace Company, the directors cannot estimate the total expenditure which has either been already incurred, or which will shortly force itself on their attention, for permanent enlargements and im provements required for the proper accommodation of the existing and expected traffic, at less than 200,000/., in addition to the sum of 120,090/. included in the esti mate given to the proprietors in January, 1852 ; and, as regards future years, they think it right to state their opinion that, judging from past experience, if the traffic should, as they confidently expect, continue to increase, further expenditure will from time to time be required. " Under these circumstances the question arises as to the continuance of the present reserve and sinking funds. The directors consider that the establishment of these funds was most beneficial under the peculiar circum stances of the time. All railway property was then passing through a period of crisis, public confidence was altogether shaken, and it was absolutely necessary to make an effort to restore it, if not by positively closing the capital account, at any rate by showing the possi bility of doing so with a fixed amount of traffic, and by exhibiting in clear and intelligible accounts the results which would be attained under such a system. The directors believe that the advantage of this course has been fully proved by the comparatively high and steady market-value of the company's stock throughout periods of great depression and fluctuation. At the same time it is evident that the temporary necessity for such mea sures has passed away, railway accounts being now so generally understood that no difficulty exists in distin guishing between legitimate expenditure on capital and revenue account ; and, therefore, if these funds are to be continued, it must be on their own merits as parts of a policy generally and permanently applicable. "As regards the reserve fund little need be said, ex cept that its avowed object of laying by, during the early years of a more limited expenditure, a sum towards the renewal of the permanent way, is already attained, the period having now arrived when the outlay from revenue under this head has reached a full average, and when extensive renewals are desirable, in order to introduce recent improvements and to carry the line up to the highest standard of efficiency. Accordingly, the di rectors have no hesitation in recommending that no fur ther addition to this fund should be made, and that it should be applied from time to time in accordance with the object of its original destination. A resolution to this effect, and charging this fund with 5,0881. 17s. id., which has been expended on relaying portions of the line during the past half-year, will be submitted to the meeting. "As regards the sinking fund, the question is larger and more difficult. If it were possible by any moderate sacrifice of present dividend to keep the capital down to a fixed amount, or to hold out any well-founded prospects of the early extinguishment of any temporary excess, the advantages of such a policy would undoubtedly be great. It is evident, however, that to secure these advantages the sinking fund must be of su c h an amoun t as t o war- rant a reasonable confidence that it will in a few years overtake and surpass any probable expenditure of capital, and that no ,useful purpose could be attained by main taining a sinking fund of such a small amount. Instead of such an attempt it would be a far better policy to spend each half-year that which the necessities of the case require, whether for current - expenses or for per manent additions, and to charge the amount to revenue or to capital in each case, according to its own legitimate application. Under existing circumstances the directors see no alternative but to recommend the adoption of this latter course. 'With the constant necessity for expenditure on permanent objects, consequent on the large and rapid de velopment of the traffic, which has already been referred to, they see no reasonable prospect of any sinking fund overtaking and keeping down the permanent outlay of capital, unless it were of such an amount as most seriously to diminish the dividends actually earned, which are the legitimate property of the present proprietors. They do not feel that they could, with justice to existing holders, call upon them to give up, for the benefit of posterity, one or two per cent. of the moderate dividend honestly earned, and they aro satisfied that any such proposal would not be adopted. "Accordingly, they see no alternative but to recom mend the discontinuance of all such reverses out of re venue, and the application to dividend of whatever surplus remains, after defraying all claims of current ex penditure, and maintaining in a state of perfect effici ency , at the charge of revenue, the whole of the line, buildings Lr rolling stock, and other property, which h ave been con , structed out of capital. "Another question demands the consideration of the proprietors—namely, the state of the Parliamentary powers of the company with regard to capital. The total amount authorised to be raised by the different acts of the company i s 7,440,930/. of which 5,65 3,230/. having been raised by shares, the whole balance of 1,787,7001. may be raised by way of loan. The proprietors have already sanctioned the exercise of these powers to the extent of 1,741,7001., and it is proposed now to take a resolution authorising the borrowing of the balance of 45,9301. To meet the further requirements which have been entailed on the company by the construction of the fourth line and Crystal Palace branch, the enlargement of the London-bride terminus, and otherwise, additional powers of raising capital will be required, which will be inserted in a bill to be submitted to Parliament neat session, and which will be duly brought before the pro prietors at the proper time for their approval. In the meantime, it may be necessary to anticipate the sanction of Parliament, so as not to delay the progress of neces sary works, which can be done without difficulty under the existing powers of the company. A resolution, ap proving of this course, will be submitted to the meeting. "The company's bill, which was submitted to the special meeting of the shareholders on the 15th of June last, has received the Royal assent. " Several railway bills affecting the interests of this company have been before Parliament during the present session. Those authorising the construction of the East Grinstead. the Bognor and Chichester, and the Wimble don and Croydon Railways, with which this company has friendly arrangements, have received the royal assent. The clauses authorising the leaoes of these lines to this company have been withdrawn. for the present, in conse quence of the resolutions of IV.Er. Cardwell's committee, but will be renewed at the first opportunity. " The West End of London and Crystal Palace Rail way Bill has also passed the House of Commons, and the directors have given their assent to it, on the inser tion of clauses regulating the mode of junction with this company's line, and in consideration of the directors of the Crystal Palace Company assenting to a modification of their agreement with this company, by which the amount of capital on which interest is guaranteed to this company out of the joint fund is extended to 250,0001., and it is provided that after the Crystal Palace Com pany's proportion of joint bookings, whether by this company's railway or by the West End of London and Crystal Palace Railway, amounts to 38,0001. per annum, the division of such bookings in the proportion of three sevenths, which gives this company its full proportionate share, isle commence. " The negotiations with the London and South- Western Company for an amalgamation have been en tirely suspended, in consequence of the protracted sit ting of Mr. Cardwell's committee ; but the most amicable relations have been maintained with that company as well as with the South-Eastern Comp - any ; and the di rectors continue strongly of opinion that a complete union of the three companies on equitable terms would be a measure most conducive to the safety and conveni ence of the public, as well as most beneficial to the pro prietors. They will accordingly be p repare d to renew the negotiations both with the London and South- Western and the South-Eastern Company at the first favourable opportunity. The net amount at the credit of the revenue for the half-year is £147,730 Whereof is appropriated for interest on the mortgage debt, ttc £36,247 For dividend on preference capital 27,907 £64,164 Leaving a balance of. £83,566 "Out of which the directors recommend a dividend of 11. 16s. per cent. for the half-year, amounting to 18,0811., leaving a balance to the credit of the current half-year of 4851." "The only bill adverse to this company's interests, which has received the sanction of Parliament, is that of the Portsmouth Railway Company ; but as this com pany has a comparatively small interest in the Ports mouth traffic, the immediate effect of the construction of a third railway to that place will not be great. It is important, however, as a warning to the proprietors of established railway companies, that, notwithstanding the disastrous experience of past years, they must not rely too confidently on the protection of th eLegislatu re as a security against the extension of competing schemes, but trust to their own resources, and neglect no reasonable means of conciliating public opinion and strengthening their own position.
