Private ROBERT HUHPSTON (No. 2,638). A Russian rifle pit, situated among the rocks overhanging the Woron siff-road, between the third parallel, right attack, and the Quarries (at that period in possession of the enemy), was occupied every night by the Russians, and their riflemen commanded a portion of the left attack, and impeded the work in a new battery then being erected on the extreme right front of the second parallel, left attack. It was curled in daylight on the 22d of April, 1855, by two rifle men, one of whom was Private Humpston ; he received a grataity of 51., and was promoted. The rifle pit was sub sequently destroyed on further support being obtaind. Private JOSEPH BRADSHAW (No. 3,471).—A Russian rifle pit, situated among the rocks overhanging the Woron soff-road, between the third parallel, right attack, and the Quarries (at that period in possession of the enemy), wag occupied every night by the Russians, and their riflemen commanded a portion of the left attack, and impeded the work in a new battery then being erected on the extreme right front of the second parallel, left attack. It was car ried in daylight on the 22(1 of April, 1855, by two riflemen, one of whom was Private Bradshaw. He has since re o eived the French War Medal.

This was the manly declaration of the Barons at Runny mede, and, so far as the constitutional liberties of the subject are concerned, every true-hearted Englishman will endorse it at the present hour No doubt there are evils that may be more corn pletely suppressed by a despotism than under liberal institutions. But still we are not prepared to relinquish the privileges for which our fore fathers strove—to barter the rich inheritance of social freedom, which they have bequeathed—in order to clothe the police authorities with addi tional power to abate some petty nuisances, which, by a little extra vigilance, they may suppress under the existing laws ! It is said that "every man's house is his castle," which he is entitled to defend against every invader. But this constitutional aphorism must be interpreted cum grano salis. It has already been materially interfered with by the legislation respecting gambling and betting houses. On an affidavit that wrongful practices in these respects are suspected—and policemen have fertile imaginations, or, as it has been well designated, " a quick and technical sense of guilt" —a warrant may be granted, and the " Englishman's castle" broken into, taken forcible possession of, and searched from top to bottom, without his having the slightest claim to redress, although the strictest scrutiny has failed to pro duce any corroboration of his suspected crime. It is now gravely proposed, by no less a personage than the Lord Chief Justice of England, to extend the list of exceptions, and to confer the power of domiciliary visits wherever it is supposed there may be "obscene prints or publications." We give the Noble and Learned Lord credit for the best possible motives, but we cannot con sent to constitute every policeman a censor morum, with power to judge of the tendencies of works of Att, or of the writings of our most illustrious poets. The Gentleman, who bears the later and number X 157, may be a very exem plary person, actuated by a sincere desire to do what is strictly legal, but it may be possible that his previous education has not qualified him to judge very accurately of the master-pieces of COR REGIO, of TITIAN, or of PO'CTSSEIN, or of the writings of HORACE, Of TERENCE, of OVID, Ants- TOPHANES, and MARTIAL, or even in English literature of SIIAKSPERE, DRYDEN, or BYRON. But certainly, if he is so qualified, he ought to occupy a more distinguished position in the social scale. Without meaning the slightest dis respect to the imaginary person alluded to, we may say that the educational standard required for his appointment does not render it certain that he possesses those qualifications. To his professional view, " TITIAN'S Venus " may be merely a shameless hussey, with a profound con tempt for the decencies of civilised life, and SIIAKESIERE an immoral writer, whose works should not be permitted to remain in any respect able dwelling-house. "The Greek Slave" should bo broken to fragments, and Don Jueli publicly burned by the common hangman ! An Index Expurgator ius, n neat erely of literary work 4 , but of paintings and sculptures, would be a necessary addition to the regulations by which he is to be governed, in order to mitigate his iconoclastic xsal, and, after all, the publication might only tend, as hinted by BYRON, to save some persons of prurient imaginations the trouble of searching through voluminous works, for the passages that may be considered objectionable. Speaking seriously, we must confess our asto nishment that after the brilliant oration of Lord LYNDHURST, Lord CAMPBELL should have perse vered in the motion, or that their Lordships should have consented to the second reading o the bill. A great concession was made to Lord CAMPBELL, whose excellent intentions were beyond question, but we may hope that the measure will not again be heard of. It is not Holywell-street that should rejoice in its rejection. The law as it stands is sufficiently stringent for the punish ment of those engaged in the detestable traffic ; and we believe that sundry persons are even now expiating their offences. But if it be passed, the National Gallery, Hampton Court, Dulwich and the Crystal Palaces will " come to grief !" They would speedily be brought under the indignant action of the worthy X 157. And if he rejoiced in a classical education, h e might seize on the naughty EIORACE, who addressed his friend with the words, Ne sit ancillce tibi arnor pudori. Lord CAMPBELL st tted thlt "he did not intend the measure to refer to such works," but no one knows better than himself that the intentions of Parliament can only be gathered from the express terms of the •iactment, that the Judges cannot travel be- yond "the four corners of the statute," in its construction. Serious abuses may be perpe trated under its cover, and therefore it is essen tial that a matter which may prove so mischiev ous, should be rejected, and that England should not be more police-ridden, than is already the case. The matter complained of is bad enough, but the remedy would be far worse than the disease, it is intendei to cure. One obvious result of representative govern ment is, that the Executive rarely applies itself with vigour, except to objects of necessity or of considerable popular interest. It will work at tax-gathering, because it cannot move without money ; and it will give itself to great schemes of religious, political, and commercial reform, when they have become the favourite topics with electors. India is one of the obvious illustrations of this fact. For the best part of a century lonx COMPANY ruled supreme. He resolutely kept JOHN BULL out of his domains. The latter could not acquire a foot of ground to build a cow house on, and could be deported, if he got there, at any time the Leadenhall-street Merchants thought fit. Every now and then the Indo-English nabobs had a little brush with the English public, but they retained their power. The abolition of their Charter in 1833 left, however, the famous double system of government still in force. They had been compelled in 1813 to admit the competition of private merchants in L u they were now compelled to renounce the m°oopoly of the China trade ;but not only in 1833, b ut even in 1853, the absurd govern ' anent by t h e Board of Directors and the Board of Control, conjointly, was retained. s et of annui tants on India, having no more fitness to govern it than other Government annui tants, were retained to cumber the administration THE SUN, LONEON, FRIDAY of the vast Asiatic empire of which the genius of CLIVE, one hundred years ago, laid the founda tion. Protest was useless. The genius of JOHN BRIGHT, never exerted in a juster cause, was no match for routine, Whig incompetency, and Tory sympathy with vested abuses. If there be a nui sance which all disinterested persons agree should be at once swept away, it is that useless, lumber ing dragchain on the wheels of Indian Govern ment, the East India Company. Why is this not done ? Why, when every department of Govern ment is made directly responsible to the Legisla ture, does the Indian department shuffle out by dividing responsibility between two bodies ? The time is apparently at band when England will be awakened to its duties in India. It can not be denied that conquest has made this country as responsible, morally, for the management of its vast provinces, as the Czans for that of Poland. When we say this country, we do not mean our Government merely, but the Electors of England. They, as we observed at the beginning, determine, in point of fact, in what the Government shall take a practical interee. They are the final Power—the CZAR or EMPEROR here. They must initiate and impel too, or the thing will not be done. It would seem likely now, as so frequently in this world of low motives, that material wants will in cline us to do for our Indian fellow-subjects, what no obligation of a nobler kind could move us to attempt. Manchester wants Indian cotton, and what Manchester wants she generally contrives to get ; untaxed corn or untaxed newspapers, or un taxed almost anything, if Manchester wants if, our legislators generally grant it at last. Ever since Peterloo, it seems to have been a maxim of our Cabinets to pacify, not to charge, the Man chester mob. Well, it has proved a better policy. In the matter of the cot ion supply, it appears to us that there has been fault on all sides. If anything has been clearly made out by the late discussions it has been that the annuitant Gover nors of India have, ever since 1833, grossly ne glected their duty, and that the Board of Control has been little more than a useless piece of rou tine so far as Indian improvements were con cerned. Bat it seems equally clear that Man chester, content to spin her slave-grown cotton while it was cheap, aad supplied in sufficient quantity, cared but little how many negroes were flogged to death to grow it, or how many dis tricts of India were left semi-barbarous through want of civilising communications with the coast and the centres of trade. At list the cotton supply becomes less and less every year relatively to the demand ; and this year threatens to close upon us, with hardly a few weeks supply in hand. Manchester and Downing-street look blank at each other ; and the verdict of common sense is that both are guilty. That the governors who havelocated themselves in Leaden-ball Street, as if to indicate the nature of their Indian rule, have failed in their duty, oven Hr. MANGLES, their chief nabob, does not deny. Qe only replies, we began to mend three or four years ago. We have got fifty miles of a railway, out of four hundred, made, which had the line been completed years ago, might, by this time, have made us independent of America, have given us abundance of cheap and excellent cotton, and have relieved Americaof her slavery struggles. It is not and cannot be denied, that by its wretched system of land tenure, by its neglecting irrigation and not creating roads, canals, and railroads, when it might have done so, the Government of India has most grievously failed of its duty. On the other hand it can as little be affirmed that Manchester has done what she could. It seems quite clear that even now, with all the dis advantages of long overland carriage, mma have been found who have got the cotton clean enough and cheap enough to the coast to make it pay wall. It is for Mtnchsster to prompt, to guide, and to sustain effirts of this kind. S:ie can send agents to collect the cotton from the ryots, and to take charge of its transmission to Eagland, for that loss been done, and done succesifull. Let Min chester extend this policy immediately, and the railroads will be pushed forward all the more rapidly, and, when they are completed, we shill no longer be dependent on JONATHAN and his niggers. It would guem as if everything wore not pro ceeding quite so smoothly in the Bank Charter Committee as Mercator and his disciples could desire. Hence the convulsive effort of the Times, this day, to anticipate the decision that must shortly be pronounced. True to our principle of challenging the most complete and searching dis cussion of the interesting and important subject, we have given the article of the bullion ist organ in extenso. It scarcely requires any argument to refute the gross and palpable fal lacies contained therein. Indeed its inheron t weakness shows, more powerfully than anything that we could urge, how very untenable is the cause which they endeavour to support by such reasoning. They endeavour to show that there is perfect free trade "in money." This, however, is blink ing the question by a very discreditable dodge. The Times is well aware that it is free trade " in currency" that is required—that it is the liberty of issuing notes by persons of undoubted solvency, ready and willing to give unexceptionable gua rantees, that is required. Nor is it for a moment desired that these notes should be legal tenders, or any person compelled to accept them, who was not quite willing t) receive them. It would of course be desirable that there should be a paper currency that should be received in liquidation of every demand. But this ought only to be of really national notes, issued on the security of the state, and receivable in payment of every national obligation. According to the argument of the Times, it should not be accorded to the Bank of England, which issues t 3 the amount of 14,000,0001. not based on bul• lion. That sum has been arbitr'arily fixed : there was nothing to show that it ought not to vary according to the ever varying circumstances of the country, and the demand for legitimate pecuniary accommodation. It is, however, made a sort of talismanic influence, to be regarded with a species of superstitious observance. If a shilling more were issued " the whole beauty of the invention would be lost." "Mercator" has sent forth his fiat, and merchant 4, traders, and manufacturers, who, although perfectly sol vent, are subject to the most serious straits from the want of a proper medium of exchange, a suit able measure and representative of value, must cut their coats according to the cloth which he thinks proper to supply. As we have stated, it is not asked that the notes of private establishments should be forced on any person's acceptance. If they enjoy good credit they will be freely taken ; if not, they will unhesitatingly be rejected. There is, therefore, not the slightest foundation for the blatant bellowinigs of the Times, which only show the difficultie s by which its favourite theories are now encompa• sed, and which may bring to a speedy conclusion . the vagaries of the currency quacks, from Lord OVERSTONE, to the humblest toady that follows in his footsteps. EVENING, JUNE 26, )P57. THE VICTORIA CROSS. Distribution of the Order of Valour by Her Majesty.—(This Morning.) This morning the long promised distribution of the order of valour by Her Majesty, took place in Hyde-park in the presence of one of the largest and most brilliant assemblagAs that has probably ever been known in this country. Great interest has been manifested by the public in this long promised military spectacle, and public bestowal of a nation's gratitude for the bravery displayed by our troops during the late struggle, and so numerous were the applications for tickets of admission to the reserved part of the ground, that the officials ware unable to comply with them, and numbers were disappointed attending in con sequence. The public commenced assembling at a very early hour. By eight o'clock thousands had • taken up their position, and by half-past eight there was such a continuous stream of car riages through the approaches to the park entrances appointed for the admission of visitors, that slow march was the order of the day, but by the admirable police arrangements no unnecessary delay occurred, and, so far as we could ascertain, uo casualties happened of a serious character. The space selected for the interesting ceremony to take place in was near Grosvenor-gate, but it was much too limited. The reserved seats formed but one side of the square, viz., that near Gros venor-gate, the other three being open for the pub lic, subject to the inconvenience of keeping the line by good tempered policemen, assisted by the military. The Queen's Pavilion was in the centre of one side of the square. On either side were galleries, one for the accommodation of foreigners of dis tinction and members of th 3 corps diplomatique, and the other for members of the Legislature. Bayond these, again, were larger galleries, for the friends of the parties decorated and for the general public. The total accommodation did not seat more than seven thousand persons, and as the applications for places were 16,000 in number, we have another instance of official inaptitude on great occasions. The troops, numbering about 8,000,, commenced taking up the respective positions assigned them on the ground at 9 o'clock, preceded by their bands playing various martial and inspiriting strains. The first on the ground was the Horse Artillery, followed by the Life Guards, the Dragoons, the Royal Engineers, the Foot Guards, the Royal Ma rine?, the 79th Highlanders, the Rifle Brigade, the Artillery, the Military Train, and others. The boys of the Royal Military Asylum and the Chelsea pensioners formed on the left of the line, and in front of the military train. The " blue jackets" toik a position between the 11th Hussars and the Sappers and Miners, in front of her Ma jesty's pavilion. Amongst the earliest arrivals on the ground was Lord Cardigan, mounted on his charger that has gained as much renown as his lordship, from hav ing successfully carried him through the Russian lines and back again on the fatal day of Balacklava. At ten o'clock precisely a Royal salute, fired by the Artillery at the left of the line, announced her Majesty's entry at Hyde-park-corner, and in a few minutes the Royal cortege was within the line, and rode up to the pavilion is the following order : Captain Sayer, Deputy-Assi,ta t Quartermaster-General.

Detachment of Royal Horse Guards. Her Majesty, who was on h orse b ac k, was d resse d in a scarlet jacket with a gold sash across it, and had on a black hat trimmed with a gold band and white plume, and she rode between his Royal High ness Prince Albert and his Royal Highness Field Marshal the Duke of Cambridge. His Royal High ness Prince Frederick William of Prussia was present on horseback, as were the Prince of Wales and Prince Alfre.l, both of whom were dressed in the Royal tartan. The Princess Royal was in one of the Royal carriages. Immediately on the Queen and the Royal cortege entering within the lines they were received with loud cheers. After proceed ing to the pavilion the Royal party turned round and took a circuit of the ground, passing in front of the assembled force, the binds of the respective regi men's playing the national anthem and other airs. Her Majesty, who looked remsrkab'y well, was enthusiastically cheered during her ride round the lines. The appearance of the ground on Her Majesty's arrival was of the most magnificent description, the gorgeous uniforms of the Staff officers, covered with decorations, sparkling in the rays of the sun, the varied uniforms of the soldiers, from the " dark Rifle green" of the Rifle Brigale, to the picturesque uniforms of the Highlanders, intiTspersed with the curass and helmet an 1 waving plume of the Life Guardsmen presented one of the most brilliant and interesting spectacles imaginable, and such as is rarely witnessed by the peace-loving people of this country. Previoust ) Her Majesty's arrival the officers and men of the Army an 1 Navy appointed to receive the decoration, had tak-n up their position in front of the pavilion, an 1 from the diversity of their at tire they presented a rather motley group. They comprised officers and men of the army and navy in their Uniform;, as wall as men who bad left the service and who appeared in the costume of civi lians—one of them being a recently appointed park-keepe r , w h o wore hi s new livery on the occa sion. The following is a list of the names of the officers and men of both services who received the decoration from the hands of her Majesty : 1.

Her Majesty, however, will Prince Albert, his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, his Royal Highness Prince Frederick William of Prussia, and others, remaining on horseback in front of the pavilion. The recipients of the decoration then passed be fore her Majesty, and received from her gracious hands this honourable mark of distinction, which they no sooner received than they placed it on their breast by the side of tho e they had already obtained as a slight rec mapensa for their noble courage and daring in the hour of danger, and their endurance of unparalleled hardships and deprivations from'official blundering. The distribution of the crosses topli place in silence, so far as the public was concerned. The spectators appeared to be divided in thought be tween the pleasurable emotions which the recogni tion of valuable services engender in the feelings of an Englishman, and the regret that so many valuable and estimable lives of men of all ranks should have been unnecessarily sicrificel in the late struggle. Notwithstanding the brilliant sun shine that enhanced the grandeur and magnificence of the scene, a feeling of sadness appeared to pos sess the people, which neither the wi nessiug of the interesting ceremony, nor the beautiful strains of the numerous bands in attendance, could dispel. The distribution of the crosses occupied about ten minutes, and on its termination the recipients defiled past her Majesty, and took up a position in front of her Majesty and suite, and by the side or the staff officers. The interesting ceremony of distributing the crosses having terminated, the troops marched past her Majesty and the Royal party in" open column, the artillery first, followed by the ambulance wag gons, heavy but commo lions vehicles, with a co vering over them with which to protect the wounded soldier from the injurious effects of weather, and providing, to a certain extent, ease from pain during his transit. These were followed by the ambulance mules, provided with a kind of sofa or couch, with a head on each side resembling the warped body part of a Bath chair, and from their singular mo tion they appeared to be an excellent contrivance as a torture machine. The motion of the head pert fireibly reminding the beholder that the head of the wounded soldier being conveyed in it would be continually bobbing backwards and forwards like the effigy of a Chinese mandarin in a toy shop. The Artillery were followed by the Dragoons and the Hussars at a walk, and the infantry in slaw time ; the Highlanders especially attracting the attention of the spectators. The Artillery and Cavalry then repassed her Majesty in quarter dis tance column at a trot, and the infantry in quick time, the field-batteries and infantry resuming their original position. The appearance of the Naval Brigade, dressed in black glazed hats, blue jackets, and white trousers, was a very peculiar feature in the day's proceed ings, both from the novelty of their combination with soldiers in a military spectacle, and the sim plicity of their dress in comparison with the other branch of the service. The Blue Jacket=, as they marched past the Queen, were placed between the three combined bands of the Foot Gulrds and the Royal Marines ; and on the first time of their passing Jack saluted her Majesty by doing his hat. The cavalry and horse-artillery then marched beyond the third wheeling point, counter-marched, and repassed the Queen at a canter, and afterwards re-formed into columns on their original ground. As a reward of merit, the spectacle might, in some respects, be said to be satisfactory, but as a military review it was a failure, and it would have been better if the farce of putting the troops M motion had been dispensed with, especially in the presence of foreigners who, from our bungling in these matters, have no doubt formed erroneous opinions as to the real military ardour and natural bravery and courage that still remains in the breast of an Englishrhan. So tame was the affair that not a cheer was raised ; but, on the con trary, the half trot half gallop movement adopted by the cavalry as representing a charge appeared to produce ridicule instead of admiration in the minds of the thousand 3 of spectators present. Throughout the whole of the morning the sun shone with great fervour, and the heat was most oppressive. Her Majesty was exposed the whole of the time to the direct rays of the sun, and ap peared to suffer much inconvenience from it. The troops also appeared to participate in it, including the pet sheep of the Rifles, who had great difficulty from over feeding and heat t) keep step with the regiment as it passed before her Majesty. We can answer that the spectators generally felt much oppressed by the heat, and it is but natural to con clude that Her Majesty and those whose duty called them there, did the same. At the conclusion of the review a }loyal salute was fired, and her Majesty le't the ground attended by the same distinguished suite as acccomp her thither, amidst the enthu s i as ti c c h eers o f th e assembled thousands. The Crosses distributed on this occasion have a two-fold value. Ia addition to their value as the reward of bravery, they possess ano ther value, that of being made from the metal. of the cannon taken at Sebastopol, whose thundering voices and destructive properties were brought to bear against the fortunate and honour able recipients, who escaped the fate of so many of their brethren in arms, now at rest beneath the arid soil of the Crimea. The Crosses were manufactured by Messrs. Han cock and Co., of 39, Bruton-street, her Majesty's jewellers, and we - have reason to believe that her Majesty and H.R.H. Prince Albert took a cl: ep interest in the design, which was adopted upon their entlime approval. A detachment of sailors from her Majesty's ships Ex cellent and Osborne arrived at Nine Eloas station, from Portsmouth, this morning, and proceeded to Hyde-park, a d afterwards returned to Nine Elms station si h Capt. Seymour , and several officers, and partook of a substantial luncheon, provided Ly Mr. Heritage, of t le Royal Albert, adjoining the station, which gave aa• t sfaction to both officers and men, who afterward. proceeded to Portsmouth, per spec'al train, at 1.45 p.m. E FRANC?.

Carnot and Goudchaux in Paris, Dr. Henon at Lyons, M. Cure at Bordeaux, M. Migeon at Colmar and Viscount Rambourgt, in the Aubs.• There are c:rtainly some other nomina tions of persons not comprised among the go vernment candidates, but these gentlemen can not be claimed by the opposition. As a set-off to the six candidates named above, the opposition has lost the five deputies belonging to it in the last Chamber, viz., Count de Montalembert, the Duke d'Uzes, and M. de Civrac, Charlier, and Des molles. The Opposition had brought forward 115 candidates in 58 departments, so that it has been defeated in 111 places. A somewhat remarkable fact of the late elections is the very limited number of cases in which a second ballot will be necessary, being in fact as yet only six in ail—three in Paris, and the three others in the Maine-et-Loire, Mayenne, and the Somme. In the last three, the contest took place altogether between candidates fully support ing the policy of the Government. In Paris, M. Gamier-Pages has addressed the following letter to the electors of the 4th circum scrip.ion : " I return my sincere thanks to the electors who have been pleased to honour me with their votes. In the interest of my democratic principles, to I which 1 'have devoted the whole of my life, I re- que3t my supporters to transfer their votes to M. Emile 011ivier." _ " The Council of the Bank of France has reduced the rate of discount on commercial bills (escompte des effets de commerce) to 5i per cent. it main tams the interest on advances at 6 per cent." BOURSE, June 25.—Sales were again pressed upon the market, and Threes, which had been done at 68f. 85c., receded to 68°. 55c. ; Mobilier from 1,190 f. to 1,172 f. 50c. ; Lyons, 1,520 f. to 1,510 f. ; Orleans, 1,490 f. to 1,482 f. 50c. ; Northern, 990 f. to 9821. 50c. ; Southern, 765 f. to 755 t. ; and Aus trian, 657 f. 50c. to 650 f. TBE 78th HIGHLANDERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BUN. Sia,—l have seen by your paper that the question was asked in the House of Commons " wby the 731 and 43d Regiments were not relieved from the Cape of Good Hope," but I did not see that the question why the 78th Highlanders are not to be relieved from India as well as the 73d and 43d from friis Cape asked. The 78th have been over six een years on foreign service in a bad climate—lndia — whereas the 73d and 43d are in a first-rats climate, and have not been above 11 years abroad. I ask now, Sir, is this fair play ? The 78th have done credit to them• selves during the last campaign in Per.ia ; and I think in fairness to them, instead of sending oat a draft to head-quarters, they should be relieved next year. The 10th and 29th both went out in the same year as the 78th, and neither last year ncr this did they send out a draft to heal-quarters, but are now under orders from India for home service. Surely, Sir, you will try to get fair play through the columns of your widely-circulated journal. I think it is a great hardship to be bringing other regiments home who have not served near so long on a Foreign Station as the 78th. Then again, look to the Army List and you will find that the officers of the 78th are the oldest officers in any one of her Ma j,osty's Regiments. Why, then, not relieve this regi ment. As you have always been a friend to us military, I trust you will insert the above ; and oblige yours very truly, A CAPTAIN UNATTACHED. COWES, ISLE Ole WIGIIT. (PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

"The Ghost of Lindley Murray," writes to a contemporary as follows : Sir,—Allow me to entreat the attention of those persons who believe that the education of our offi cers ought' rather to be entrusted to the military officials at the Horse Guards than to the Minis' er of War to the following note, composed, written, and published yesterday by Sir R. Airey, the head of the most highly educated branch of out service. The italics are mine, the grammar Sir Richard's : " Major-General Richard Airey, Quartermaster- General, having received such numerous applications f,r tickets for admission of persons (query, dogs ?) to witness the distribution by her Majesty of the Victoria Cross on the 26:h inst., regrets that he has not been ena bled to comply with the requests of all the applicants, the tickets to the full extent of the accommodation hav ing been already appropriated, and begs to express _ his regret that the press of business entailed upon him by the arrangements for the intended ceremony prevents his replying otherwise to such persons to whom he has not been able to send tickets."

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—" Il Don Giovanni" was performed last night, for the sixth time this season, at the above . theatre, and with undiminished' excellence. All the principal pieces were, as on former occasions, most rapturously demanded, and the performance re ceived throughout with the heartiest demonstrations of approval. The house was again densely crowded. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.—Her Majesty the Qinen honoured this theatre with her presence last evening, when Miss Victoirs Balfe repeated her charming deli neation of Amina in "La SJnna in bula" with the beet possible success, and was most enthusiastically applauded from first to la.t. After the opera the celebrated dan. sense, Madile.

THE DIVORIJE BILL. er ' e The following is a copy of the Bishop of Ply- Protest against the third reading of the L ' and Matrimonial Causes Bill : "Dissentient,—Beoause the bill authorises the I nte 01 marriage of the adulterous parties, but does ce - 1 0 , relieve the clergy from the legal obligation O f 400 brating matrimony in such cases with th e " hir es of the church. Yet that office expressly ' l °lo that holy matrimony, instituted by God in the 'l o a of man's innocency, signifies the mystical tl°oo. between Christ and His Church, whereas adultery t9e stantly spoken of in holy Scripture ymbtlisitig i eP osi Lacy from that Church and the violation asB of that t°, 6 „%11 union. In contempt of this sacred truth the bill oou a - y sanctions the marriage of parties whose ability to t u , the is founded on their being adulterers, but it compe l r ed clergy to marry them in profanation of the most o c io words of Scripture, and with perversion of the most solo oo truths of the Gospel. For, even if the use of the offios ct :00 be tolerated in the marriage of adulterous pares ° ;veil are repentant of their adultery, yet no security is g re ed or can be given by any statute that the parties coo osr e, are really penitent ; and yet those parties 10000. their adultery incurred the Church sentence Of es f c jet muuication, which, if duly pronounced, wou ld r o f them incapable of being married with the r itc- ar the Church. If the circumstances of the time s r i ot vent the' due exercise of the Church's diseiplinedbris• the least that might be expected from 3 co te tian Legislature is that it be careful to protect the , 1306 from the guilt of countenancing such fearful profsne.toil and to respect the oonscientious feelings of all f . a i n ooll churchmen, who cannot but be shocked by suc h AW trifling with the gravest spiritual matters ; cially of the clergy, who, if the bill shall finally P A- i - L 'bou" not be able to perform what belongs to their office W. , - fuss violating their sense of duty to God, and canno t r- f ha' to perform it without incurring the heavy penalties cease man law. The enactment is the more grievou s be „:tri" there already exists a mode of contracting ":3yBl mony between such parties, which not only bat the rights and sanctions of the church unviolato'neoi, would also relieve the parties themselves, if tru l i ni r the tent and sensitive of their own degradation, fro --atiog anguish an 1 misery which they must feel in r e l:l e beAl," vows t) God which they have already broken, s' ) ,`" s t 10 1 ing pronounced over them the curse of God agaro 000 who have , as they already have , put asun t whom God has joined together.' • ..
