JONES AND WIFE. — Mr. Brett, instructed by Mr. Grimmer, appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Aspinall for the defendants. The action was brought to recover damages for an assault. The defendants keep the Globe public house, at the corner of Dawson-street, and the plaintiff is the sister-in-law of a young woman named Margaret Fagan, who was employed as a vocalist in the music saloon of the Globe. It appears to be the "custom of the house" for the gentlemen who attend the concerts to express their admiration of the young ladies who sing, by treating them in the bar, after the performances have closed ; and Miss Fagan was in the habit of remaining to take her share of the good things giving away. Her sister, the plaintiff— according to her statement in the witness box not liking her to be out alone, at so late an hour of the night, made a point of calling for her. And it was this desire to play the part of a protector that took her to the Globe at midnight, on the 22nd of June. She re mained in the bar with the musical young ladies and the gentlemen who were " standing treat" until two o'clock. And, up to that time, she admitted, all went on comfortably enough. She then began to fear that her sister would'have a headache in the morning; and suggested that she should drink ginger -beer instead of gin-hot." The young lady herself " did not much mind which it was," but Mrs. Jimei resented the plaintiff's interference, and, according to the evidence of the sisters, attacked her without further provocation, tore her bonnet and dress, pulled the hair out of her head, and finally turned her out of the house. The assault was not denied, but it was said to have been a trumpery offence, arising out of a quarrel among women for which the smallest possible amount of damages would be a sufficient compensation. The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff, with 40s. damages. A KICKING HORSE.—CALVERT V. REFS.—Mr. Brett (in , structed by Mr. Grimmer) appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Aspinall (instructed by Mr. Bremner) for the defendant. The action was brought to recover damages for an injury, which the plaintiff had sustained from the kick of a horse belonging to the defendant, on the 23rd February last. The plaintiff stated that on the day in question he was employed In Deni son-street, with other persons, in putting some sulphur on a wagon belonging to the defendant. The wagon, which had three horses in it, was•standing in the middle of the street. His (plaintiff's) attention was called to the horses by a man named Davis, and, in consequence of what Davis said, he went to the head of the shaft horse, which was blind. The middle horse, a black entire horse, immediately " struck out," and kicked him 'violently on the head : the blow rendered him insensible, and he had to be taken to the hospital, where he remained until the 19th of March. After that he was miller treatment as an out-patient until the 30th of June, until which time he was unable to resume his work. His wages were 255. per week. He. never touched the horse before he received the kick. The only question in the case was as to the defendant's knowledge of the kicking propensities of the horse. The plaintiff's case was supported by two witnesses, discharged servants of Mr. Rees, who spoke to declarations - which implied such know ledge; while the defendant himself'and three witnesses swore that the horse was not an habitual kicker, and that he had only, as far as they knew, offended in that way twice ; once when his breeching had become entangled with a cart, and once (after the injury to the plaintiff) when it was irritated-by a piece of timber falling upon it. Defendant had given the ,plainEff two half-crowns while in the hospital. Tire. jury found for the plaintiff—damages £l5. RATNER v. EATON.—Mr. Aspinall and Mr. Brett, (in - strutted by Mr. Rymer) - appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Broome and Mr. Fenwick, (instructed by Messrs. Anderson and Collins,) for the defendant. The action was brought by the daughter and executrix' of the late Mr. Rayner, to - recover -a-sum :of money due to the estate of the deceased. The de fendant had paid £ll9 irito-court. It appeared that Mr. Eaton, -in the lifetime of Mr. Rayner, had acted as that gentleman's agent, and on an examination of the accounts, after Mr. :tuner's death, he was found to be a debtor to the estate to the amount of £1,276 16s. 2d. Becoming embarrassed in his =circumstances, he proposed to make a composition with his creditors, and offered es. Bd. in the pound. elie creditors generally agreed to take the composition, 'but the present plaintiff, for some time, withheld her consent, and her case to-day was, that she-=only gave it at last upon 7 condition that her father's estate-should be indemnified against loss, in re spect to certain open-contracts for palm oil and tartaric acid, which the defendant had entered into with a Mr. Atkinson, in his own name, but in the late Mr. Ra3rner'e behalf. On an adjustment of the contracts, a loss was ascertained of £9OO, for which Mr. Atkinson had eventually taken the composition of 6s. Bd. to the pound on Mr. Eaton's estate. The questions for the jury were-1, - whether £9OO, the whole amount of the loss on the contracts, was to be deducted from £1,276 16s. 2d., the defendant's debt to Mr. Rayner's estate, and the composi tion paid upon' the balance, in which case the amount paid into court would hardly cover the plaintiff '-s claim ? 2, whe ther the defendant was entitled to deduct not £9OO but £3OO, the amount which he had actually paid ? or 3, whether the composition - was -not payable on the whole amount of 21,276 16s. 2d., withant any deduction whatever, that being the construction of the arrangements contended for by the plain tiff, who insisted that the defendant was to hold the estate harmless, so faras the contracts were eoncerned,from any loss whatever? The - jury took the latter view of it, and found for the plaintiff. Damages, £425 125., including the amount paid in to court. ASSAULT AND SLANDER.—DUTTON v. VINEBBEBG.—Mr. Thompson, (instructed by Mr. Grace,)-appeared for the plain tiff; and Mr.-Axpinall, (instructed by Mr. Andrews,) for the defendant. The action was brought to recover damages, laid at £5OO, for an.t.ssault and defamation—the assault, consist ing of an alleged attempt to'kiss, and the defamation, of lan guage imputing to the plaintiff that she was dishonest and un chaste. The plaintiff, who, being under age, sued by her next friend, and whose appearance and demeanour in the box made a very favourable impression, was the first witness examined. She stated that, having been for some time in the service of Mr. Watson, of the Marine-hotel, New Brighton, as bar maid, she engaged herself in the same capacity to the, defendant, who keeps a public-house, principally fre quented by German emigrants, in Lime-street. About a week after her entering his service,, he called her into the coffee-room andattempted to kiss her • he did not succeed; she told him that he ought to be ashamed of himself, and that, if he did -not know his place as a master, she knew her's as a servant. She left the room. Me repeated the attempt on several occasicns afterwards, but always unsuccessfully, and, at the expiration of seven weeks, her mother took her away. She applied to a Mr. Heatley for a situation on leaving the defendant's -service, and lie agreed to take her, but he sub sequently told her that the character given of her by her former master, Mr. Vinesberg, was .not sufficiently satisfac tory, and he, therefore, declined to receive her. Had never been guilty of any conduct which would justify the defendant in imputing to her-dishonesty or unchastity. . In cross-examination the plaintiff denied that she had ever taken any liberties with a French gentleman, or permitted any liberties to be taken by gentlemen with her, but she ad mitted that upon , one occasion, when .a person named Ash croft, well known to her and her family, was in the house in -a state of intoxication, and throwing his money about, she put the money (100 in her pocket to - take care of it. She afterwards accounted to Mr. Ashcroft' for it, and he thanked lier for what she had: done. Mr. Heatley, who was called to prove the slander, distinctly negatived the statement in the declaration as to any imputa tion of dishonesty on the contrary, the defendant had stated that he had never found her dishonest, •but he had told him that "she was in the habit of allowing gentlemen to take great liberties with her, and was not a proper person to be in any respectable house, and that he believed her to be a —." it was entirely in consequence of this representation that he had •declined to take the plaintiff into his service. The mother of the plaintiff was called to prove that she had given notice of her intention to take her daughter away ; the defendant's former cook to state that her conduct, as far as she saw, was irreproachable ; and Mr. Watson to speak to her behaviour, while she was in his service, which he stated to have been irreproachable: he added, that he should be perfectly willing to take her.again. The defence was, that the .statement made :to Mr. Heatley was not-volunteered, bat was made bona fide, and without malice, and was therefore privileged. To show that he had good ground for making it, Mr. Vinesberg, and himself, and his nephew were examined, and they described the plaintiff's conduct, while in the house, as most immodest and improper. The nephew. said lie had complained of it to his uncle, and the uncle, that he had given her notice, in consequence of her misconduct, before her mother said she would take her away. The attempt to kiss was entirely denied. Verdict for the plaintiff—daroages 40s. A Corxisioi.—McCA.BE V. NEWTON.—Mr. Brett (in structed by Mr. Grimmer) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Aspinall (instructed by Mr. Greatley) for the defendant. The action was brought to recover damages for injury doneAo the ,plaintiTs " shandry " by a " float," the property of the de tfendant, which ran into it in Hanover street, upset. it,,leoke -both shafts, and otherwise so damaged it, that it had eost £5 13s. Gd. to repair. The plaintiff's wife was also thrown out and very much .. shaken. Th e d efence was t h a t th ere was neither negligence nor want of skill on the part of the de fendant's. servant ; that the horse had run away an d d e fi e d a ll the efforts of the driver to restrain it ; that the width of the street made it impossible to pass the shandry without coming into collision with a cotton-laden lorry ; and that having been a pure accident, the defendant was not liable. Verdict for the plaintiff—damages £5 13s. 6d. SKILLIN V. BATES.—A stevedore who had contracted to discharge a,vessel of her ballast, complained that he bad been interfered with in carrying out his contract. First of all by a number of ship-carpenters, and afterwards by another steve dore, wholcame with a larger ste,ff and turned him off the work. lie sued the defendant, as the owner of the ship, for damages, complainieg also that, in the course of a quarrel with the in terloping parties, the police had been called, and he had been given into custody. The answer as to the imprisonment was that the defendant bad had nothing to do with it, and as to the other part of the case, that the plaintiff's dilatoriness and neglect to fulfil his engagement, had made it necessary that other parties should be employed. Verdict for the defendant. FALSE IMPRISONMENT:—MARSHALL V. THIRKELL.—Ari action against a brewer for assault and false imprisonment ; the plaintiff, a commission traveller, lately in defendant's ser vice, having been taken into custody by his order, on a charge •of embezzlement. The defendant justified, and both the parties were examined at some length. The jury eventually found for defendant. BEAVER V. THE MERSEY AND IRWELL NAVIGATION ComP.A.isrr.—An action of trover, for certain crates of crucibles. A person named McNair, in April last, kept a public-house in Cleveland-sqnare, and had a cellar at No. 14, Islington, which he had occupied about a month, and where he carried on business as a commission merchant, under the firm of Robert McNair and Co.. A Mr. Lowe, of Manchester, sold the crucibles to MlsTair, and gave them to the defend ant's company to deliver, and McNair sold them to Beaver, and endorsed over the freight note to him. Beaver demanded the goods and tendered the freight, but, in the meantime, Lowe had ordered them not to delivered, and the company refused to give them up. The defence was that M'Nair had never any property in the goods, because he had not complied with the conditions on which he was to have them. He was to accept a two months' bill and send it back by return of post, but he had allowed an interval of three or four days to elapse, and in the mean time Lowe had made enquiries, the result of which was unsatisfactory. The evidence as to the contract was conflicting. The Assessor evidently inclined towards the plaintiff, but the jury found for the defendants. GODFREY V. KIMETON.—An action by an attorney, to re cover the amount of a bill of costs for business in bankruptcy. Verdict by consent, for the plaintiff, damages £4O, subject to a reference. PEMBERTON V. SMIT}I.—Au undefended action on two I 0 U's, both parties being solicitors. Verdict for plaintiff, for £136 ls. _ The Court rose at a quarter-past 11 last night, the causes, 78 in number, having been disposed of, except one, which was made a remand by consent. COMMERCIAL and MONETARY NEWS. MONDAY NIGHT. NOTWITHSTANDING the hazard of another minis terial crisis and the absence of any accounts from the seat of war of a favourable nature, the Publie Funds have maintained their value duringthe week, the price of Consols having fluctuated during the week not more than 4 above or below 91. This equability is owing, in a great measure, to the large amount of un employed capital seeking investment counteracted by the preparations making for the anticipated new loans and the contributions to the French and Turkish Loans. There is little otherwise deserving of com ment. Business generally is quiet, and new enter prises are delayed until Parliament has come to a final decision on the proposed alteratiOn in the law of partnerships. According to the Bank returns on Friday, the de crease in the stock of bullion was only £255,170, which may be considered equivalent to an increase when the payment of the dividends is taken into account, as shown by the decrease in Public Deposits of £4,041,336. The increase in other deposits" is no less than £2,461,652, while the decrease in " other securities" is £646,973. As far, therefore, as money for commercial purposes is concerned, the market is in a most favourable condition, and the rate of dis count continues low, that for first-class paper being below the minimum fixed by the Bank of England. Since the failure of STRAHAN, PAUL and Co., the Bank of England have determined on opening a West end branch, •and have taken Uxbridge House, Old Burlington-street, for the purpose. The annouce ment had the effect of advancing Bank Stock fully half per cent. Very few transactions have taken place in the precious metals, the imports during the week having been only about £400,000, and the exports perhaps slightly in excess of this amount. Trade in Manchester has shown a slight tone of im provement, owing principally to a notice havinc , been given • cif a reduction of the hours of labour, which will tend to lessen the supply. There are also more favour able accounts from India. The Woollen Trade con tinues steady, the demand being equal to the supply, and pieces have rather an upward tendency. The Hosiery and Lace Trades are . without change. In the Corn Markets throughout the country at tempts have been made with but partial success to re cover the decline. There is promise of an abundant harvest, but in the mean - time supplies will no •doubt be short. Our SHARE MARKET has experienced a further depression during This week, speculative sales 'having lowered prices considerably. These are founded on apprehensions still entertained of bad reports from the London and North-weste rn an d o th er li nes , b u t we believe thatstill all these are but conjectures, the London report' is not yet prepared, and 'nobody can know the dividend. We are informed that the Leeds report will be very good, and the Midland not bad : the fact, however, appears to be that the public are doing so little that the market is a query to the jobbers of the Stock Exchange, who rule prices as they wish. Local Stocks are very steady, and Bank and Insurance Shares are in demand at higher prices. We annex quotations ofthis day :—Caledonians, 31 1 East Lan cashire, 10- ; Lancashire and Yorkihire, 801 1 Liverpool; Crosby, and Southport, I'4l ; London Stock, 98 ; Ditto Fifths, f-,d ; Midland Stock, 701 ; South Eastern, ISt ; North British £5 pref. shares, 105 - Luxembourg constitut e d, 91d ; C ommerc i a l B an k , 111; Royal Assurance, 1 7-16 p. COTTON.—The market during the week has been very steady, prices of middling qualities having been without change, while fair has partially declined id. The sales for the week, up to Friday, amounted to 46,330 -hales, of which 6,980 -were taken on specula tion, and 2,870 for export, leaving 36,480 for the trade. TO -DAY, the advices received by the Baltic were of an improved tone on the other side, but it had but little effect on this market, which was steady, the sales amounting to 6,000 bales, including 1,000 for specula tion and export, and prices without change.

METALS. - Our Scotch pig Iron market opened hea vily-last week, ands rumoured prohibition of shipments of Iron to the North of Europe, by an order in Council, brought prices down to 70s. 6d., which was paid here on Friday. This prohibition has since been found to be unimportant, and yrices have recovered, 725. 6d. to 735. being to-day's quotations for store warrants, m.n. f.0.b., at Glasgow. BANICHIIPTCY COURT.—Yesterday, Wm. Fenton, late an iron-house manufacturer in this town, passed his examina tion, unopposed, before 31r.-.Commissioner Perry. A LARGE 'SCHOONER got _ashore across the bottom of the Tranmere slip, about seven. o'clock yesterday morning, and stuck fast, until the flood tide yesterday evening floated her off. She received less damage thanwas expected. PICKING POCKETS UNDEB, THE EYES OF A PREACHER. — John Kenny, an old man who had the appearance of an Irish reaper, was charged at the Police Court yesterday by a young man who gave his name as Hugh Mackay, with picking his pocket. Mackay said that he was listening to a preacher on the Exchange .flags on Sunday afternoon, when he felt a pull at his tail pockets. He turned round, and saw the pri soner standing beside him. He then stepped back, and the prisoner stepped into his place. Just then he missed his handkerchief, and beckoned a police inspector. He laid his hand upon the prisoner's shoulder and saw his pocket hand kerchief, as he thought, drop from between the prisoner's legs ; so lie gave him into custody. It was not quite clear that the complainant's pocket had been picked, and as the old man was not known to the police he was dismissed. DROWNING OF BOYS.—Reuben French, a little boy, seven years of age, whose parents reside in No. 10, Windsor-view, was sent by his mother to buy a loaf at the Speakfield cottages, Edge-hill. On coming back, he took off his clothes and went into a pit in a field by the side of Lodge-lane, where he sunk in 15 feet of water. A boy passing-saw the loaf and clothes ly ing upon the bank, and gave the alarm to a ,mau in a neigh bouring brick-field, who managed to get the body out, but quite dead. At an inquest yesterday, a verdict of " Accidentally drowned" was returned.—John McNabb, 14 years of age, whose father lodges in a room in Mann-street, and who was employed at the shop of Mr. Levi, outfitter, James-street, left his father on Sunday, saying he was going to dine with a cap tain who had been very kind to him. About nine o'clock, that evening, James Burke, a dock labourer, heard a splash in the Brunswick-dock, and after obtaining the assistance of a police-officer, succeeded in getting out McNabb's body. An inuqest in this case resulted in a similar verdict. AN EARLY BIRD CA.IIGHT ON THE WING.—Ann Jones, a good-looking Welsh girl, who had lived as servant with Mr. Thomas Munroe, 29, Marylebone, was brought up at the Police Court yesterday, for plundering her master. The police man on duty caught her "flitting" through the front door about five o'clock in the morning,with a bundle of her mistress's wearing apparel, consisting of shawls, print and other dresses, stuff-petticoats, boots, &c. In her defence she said she was " taking them to be mangled," but as boots seldom undergo that process, her ingenious story was disbelieved, and she was sent to gaol for twenty-one days. Mr. Monroe said he had taken her into his service without a character from motives of charity. The officer said he knew that she had been a common prostitute for at least two months before obtaining her situation. PUNISHMENT OF BEGGING IMPOSTORS.—Henry Bale, James Wilkinson, and John Walters, who had been remanded from Saturday, was brought up at the Police-court yesterday as begging impostors. They had been in the habit of going round to houses, representing themselves as " poor men out of work" from Manchester, Stockport, Rochdale, or any locality that they fancied would suit their tale. Amongst other places, they called on a Mr. Lloyd, in Knight-street, and represented that they were unfortunate officers, formerly in the Inland Revenue service, and that one of them was in a consumption. Mr. Lloyd was so moved by their "piteous tale" as to give them two shillings and a bottle of cod liver oil. When they found that the master of a house was not in, they usually tried to bully or frighten the mistress into giving them money. They called at the house of Mr. Councillor Stewart, in Mount-pleasant, where their conduct was so outrageous that they were given into custody. They were each sent to prison for seven days, the magistrate regretting that he could not ipflict a heavier punishment.. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. LATEST NEWS. THE WAR. ' The Moniteur of Saturday publishes the subjoined : CRIMEA, July 19 (11 p.m.) " No new fact. " Cholera entirely ceased." Prince Gortschakoff writes under date of the 16th, that two small sallies made by the garrison on the 14th and 15th, had been rather successful in retarding the enemy's advanced works in front of Korniloff Bastion. From other parts of the Crimea there is nothing important. It is said in Paris that despatches received on Sunday at the Ministry of War contain news to, the following effect : "Yesterday evening (the 18th), at nine o'clock, the Russians made a sortie on the Balaklava side with the intention of cutting up the English and turning the division which is operating against the Malakoff, and forcing it to raise the siege of the Tower. The Russians were repulsed with consi derable loss. The works of approach continue. The trenches are now but 40 metres distant from the Malakoff Tower." The Patrie has the following :—" According to our most recent information, the two African regiments expected from Algeria have just landed in the Crimea. The cholera had entirely disappeared from the army in the East, and many of the sick and wounded are leaving the hospitals." Sr. PETERSBURG, July 21.—The Invalide announces the death of Admiral Nachimoff, and the appointment of Admiral Pawsiloff to his command.

The 'Globe says the Supplementary Estimates to be voted by Parliament will amount to £2,725,900, of which £1,141,168 is for the Navy, and L 1,584,803 for the Transport Service. It'is not likely that more will be required for the Army, as the sum voted already will be more than sufficient for the maintenance of the Land Force. The Naval Estimates are mainly made up of the cost of naval stores, Sr.c.; for the building and repairs of ships, which amounts to £1,063;063. The remaining items consist of £61,503 for new works, im provements, and repairing yards, and some small sums for wages, medical stores, &c. For the Transport Service the additional sum required is £1,584,803, of which gsmooo are for the hire and purchase of transports, £382,000 for coals, £172,000 for freight of stores, £50,000 for mess of military officers and civilians on passage, and £2,352 for provisions of troops embarked. THE WAR. (From 'the Second Edition of The Times) BERLIN, MONDAY.—The St. Petersburg Journal con tains further 'particulars of the Hango massacre, and men tions a written statement made by Lieutenant Geneste, from which, however, it only gives short extracts. THE BALTIC. DANT2IC, 20th.—In an attack on the batteries at the ap proach :to Viberg, on the 14th, Mr. Storey, midshipman, of the Arrogant, and one man were killed, and six wounded ; also three men of the Magicienne were wounded. Several of the Russian guns were silenced. DESPATCHES FROM GENERAL SIMPSON, AND ADMIRALS LYONS & DUNDAS. The London Gazette contains a despatch from General Simpson, and one from Admiral - Lyons, with enclosures from Lieut. Hewitt, of the Beagle gun-boat ; also a despatch from Admiral Dundas, enclosing a report from Capt. Yelverton, of the Arrogant. General Simpson writes on the 10th July, that at 5 o'clock that morning a heavy fire was opened on the Redan by the allied batteries. Brevet-Major Harrison was killed on the evening of the 17th whilst proceeding to the trenches. The general health of the army has improved.

Graham, Royal Engineers, severely 1 sergeant, and 49 rank -and file. Admiral Dundas, under date of 7th, encloses Captain Yel verton's report, and speaks in high terms of both officers and men. Admiral Lyons on the 10th, eloses a letter from Lieutenant Hewitt, commander of the Beagle, reporting the destruction of the Floating Bridge,in the Straits of Genitchi. Hepraises the conduct of those engaged, and particularly mentions Joseph Trewevas, ordinary seaman, lent from the Agamem non, who cut the hawsers connecting a ferry of two large floats, which composed - the bridge. They were exposed to a very heavy fire of musketry, but returned the fire and caused great confusion and loss amongst the enemy. The casualties were only two men wounded. Captain Yelverton, in the Arrogant, with the Magicienne, and Ruby gunboat, destroyed a large Cossack encampment at Kossunda Bay. Next day they destroyed a Cossack barrack and stables. t thg mouth of the river Portsoiki. In Trang sund Bay, a Russian man-of-war, with two large gunboats, was perceived, the Ruby opened fire on her, and she soon retired out of range, having, it is thought, received some damage. At the entrance to the sound near Viborg, there were three large gunboats and another steamer about a mile off, but a barrier impeded the passage of the gunboat and launches. A masked battery.opened a heavy fire of musketry, round and grape, which was instantly returned by the Ruby and boats. As it was impossible to get the Ruby through the barrier, Captain Yelverton returned towards Stralsund. An explosion occurred in the Arrogant's boat.; the men were saved, but Mr. Storey, midshipman in command, was killed. Casualties.—Arrogant.: 'Killed : Mr. Storey, midshipman. Wounded : Lieutenant Woolecombe and six men (one since dead). Magicienne : Wounded, three men. THE FUNDS.

Railway Shares were rather depressed in the forenoon, but eventually rallied, with the exception of Great Northern Stocks, which close lower. Land and Bank Shares generally more active, but have not materially altered. Foreign Securities generally weak. Sales of Turkish were 'freely made this morning, and prices temporarily declined, but at the close they showed an advance on the lower rates of Saturday. CLOSING PRICES.

The Royal Assent was given, by commission, to 37 public and private bills, among them were the Raglan Annuity Bill, Friendly Societies' Bill, Burial Grounds' (Scotland) Bills, Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes' Bill, and the Bill for the Amalgamation of the Liverpool and Birkenhead Dodo, The Public Libraries' and Museum Bill passed through committee. The Piers and Harbours' (Scotland) Bill was read the 2nd time. The Coal Mines' Inspection Bill passed through committee, with amendments. The . Earl of AIRLIE asked Lord Panmure whether govern ment had lately received any information respecting the war in Asiatic Turkey. He described the position of the bellige rent forces in the vicinity of Kars, and pointed out the peril in which the Turkish army was understood to be placed. There was reason to believe that the Russian army might be enabled to act with considerable effect ; and, indeed, as the Black Sea was closed up against her, and every field of action shut, she had every motive for risking a great blow. Should it go forth to the tribes of Asia that the united power of Eng land and France was unable to resist the power of Russia, the consequences might be extremely serious. The Earl of CLARENDON said government were fully alive to maintaining in Asia the spirit of resistance to Russian aggression. With this view General Williams had been ap pointed to the command of the Turkish forces, and he had no doubt that, by his spirit and vigour, Kars would be put into an efficient state of defence. The last information was down to the 23rd ult. It stated that the Russians had advanced within range of the batteries at Kars, but they had been re pulsed with loss. He was enabled, on the authority of Gen. Williams, to contradict the report that the Turkish army was demoralized. Its spirit, on the contrary, is excellent, as the men had been supplied with arms on their own demand, and were always obedient to their officers. There was no appre hension of Kars being taken by a coup de main The Merchant Shipping Bill passed through committee, after much discussion. The Religious Worship Bill was, after a debate, read a third time and passed. .. _ The oilier orders were disposed of, and the house adjourned at 20minutes past 8 p.m. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY. The house met at 12 o'clock p.m. On the motion of Mr. HATTER, a new writ was ordered for the borough of Southwark, in the room of Sir W. Moles worth, appointed Secretary of State for the Colonies. NUISANCES REMOVAL BILL. The Nuisances Removal Bill was read the third time, and on the question that it do pass, Mr. CHILD moved the fol lowing proviso to clause 45:—" - the provisions of the Act shall not extend or be construed to extend to mines of dif ferent descriptions, so as to interfere with or obstruct the efficient working of the same, or to the efficient working of the same, or to the smelting of ores and minerals, or to the manufacturing of the produce of such ores and minerals." Mr. Mitchel and Mr. Dilwen opposed the amendment. SIR G. GREY opposed it, on the ground that there was no reason why mines should be excepted from the operation of the bill, and also on the ground that the bill would not inter fere vexatiously with those trades. Mr. Muntz, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Wilkinson, and Mr. Pellal supported the proviso. Lord R. Grosvenor and Sir B. Hall opposed it. The House then divided — For the provisio..... Against it Majority against the government ... The bill was then passed. The Metropolitan Buildings Bill passed through committee 35 32 -3. PASSENGERS' Act AMENDMENT-BILL The remainder of the morning sitting was in committee on the Passengers' Act Amendment Bill, and the house adjourned shortly before 4 o'clock. The house resumed at 6 o'clock. _ _ _ On the motion of Mr. Hayter, a new writ was ordered for Marylebone, in the room of Sir B. Hall, appointed Chief Com missioner of Works. In answer to Mr. Hamilton, the CHANCELLOR OP THE Ex- CHEQUER stated that the commissioners appointed to enquire into the subject of decimal coinage were Lord Overstone, Lord IVlonteagle, and Mr. Hubbard. He had no objection to lay the commission upon the table. In reply to Mr. Mitchel, Lord PALMERSTON said the govern ment had no intention to bring in a bill this session to repeal the act of 1782, disqualifying certain contractors from sitting in parliament, and rendering them liable to heavy penalties in the event of their doing so. In reply to Mr. Bright, Lord PALMERSTON stated that ac counts had been received at the Colonial-office of the transac tions on the coast of Africa, which were now occupying public attention, but none had been received at the Admiralty. He would make inquiry as to what information could be laid before the house. In answer to another question from Mr. Bright, Lord PALMERSTON said the President of the Board of Con- trol would take the earliest possible opportunity of bringing on the Indian Budget, but in the present state of public business he could not fix a day for the purpose. THE EXPEDITION TO THE CRIMEA. Mr. DISRAELI, alluding to a statement in Lord J. Russell's speech on Thursday night, begged to ask the noble lord a question in respect to it. The noble lord, in accounting for the expedition to the Crimea, was understood to have stated that one of the principal reasons of it was the refusal of Aus tria to cross the river Pruth. He begged to ask the noble lord his authority for this statement. Lord J. RUSSELL replied that his authority for it was his general recollection of the communications which at that time passed between the Governments of Austria and that of her Majesty. • Mr. DISRAELI then put the same question to Lord Pal merston. Lord PALMERSTON said it was impossible for him to answer such questions piecemeal, arising out of a long course of correspondence. All he would say was, that he had always thought the Crimea was the place to strike an effectual blow against the power of Russia. In answer to Mr. Laing, Lord PALMERSTON declined to appoint a day for a dis cussion upon the second series of the Vienna Papers. Mr. LAING thereupon gave notice that he should call attention to these papers. THE TURKISH LOAN. On the report of the resolution respecting the Turkish Loan, Mr. STUART WORTLEY expressed his regret at the division on Friday night, which he attributed to a surprise, and hoped that it might not be taken in Europe as an indication of the real sense of the house upon the question of the loan. He could see difficulties in the form of the convention, and the possibility of various embarrassments arising out of it, from the manner in which each party was made to guarantee the full amount of the loan. But he contended that, admitting these objections, the position of affairs in Europe required that the convention should be adopted. He regretted deeply much of the language that had been used on Friday, bat, still more, that it should have gone forth to Europe, that the British House of Commons should only have carried the con vention by the small majority of three. He did not himself venture to say that the rejection of the terms of this conven tion would endanger the alliance with France, but he cer tainly thought what had occurred would be misunderstood with regard to the war against Russia. Mr. BRIGHT denied that there had been any surprise in the division, and vindicated those who had opposed the con vention. He contended, too, that Mr. Wortley had, by his own showing, established a case for the rejection of the con vention. Condemning the terms of the arrangement, he re marked that the security which it offered upon the revenues of Egypt, Syria, and Smyrna, is, in point of fact, the first step towards a partition of Turkey. Mr. SERGEANT SirEE made a vigorous attack upon Mr. Gladstone for his speech on Friday, and accused him of at tempting to trip up the government, and of questioning the honour of France and of Turkey. Sir. H. WILLOUGHBY vindicated his vote in favour of the resolution on Friday, and Mr. ALCOCK defended his against it. Mr DEEDES also vindicated his vote on Friday in favour of the convention, on political considerations. Mr. RICARDO said he had opposed the proposition, because he was opposed to our t ntering once again upon a system of subsidies. He denied that there had been any surprise on Friday ; he was so anxious that the war should be carried on with vigour, that if he thought the course he advised was likely to interfere with warlike proceedings, he would not have brought it forward, but he could not believe that the rejection of the resolution could for a moment peril the French alliance. SIR DE LACY EVANS contended that the vote had been arrived at by surprise, and he urged that Turkey had acted most energetically in this war. Mr. LA.YARD declared that the course taken by Mr. Glad stone and his friends on this question, was unwise, unstates manlike, and unpatriotic. The course of Mr. Cobden and Mr. Bright was consistent, but he could not understand that of Mr. Gladstone, to whose speech at Manchester he attri buted the hard terms to which Turkey is obliged to submit in order to negotiate the last loan. The present policy of the right hon. gentleman would effectually answer the designs of the enemy. At the same time he admitted that the joint guarantee was impolitic, but he contended that there were high motives of statesmanship why it should be accepted. Turkey was extremely sensitive upon all points of finance, and he gave an animated description of her resources, to shew that there was no reason to fear that this country would have to pay the interest upon the loan. At the same time he earnestly called attention to the progress of the Russians in Asia Minor, expressing a fear that Kars would fall before them. Mr. GILLDSTONE, after a powerful reply to Mr. Layard and Mr. Shee, warmly vindicated the course he had taken on Friday, and pointed out the inconsistency of Mr. Wortley, in absenting himself from the deliberations on that evening, and now con demning them. He defended the right of free deliberation on the part of the house, and remarked that not one man present on Friday had spoken in defence of the arrangement, except the First Lord of the Treasury and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The subject was one of grave importance and difficulty, and being such, it certainly ought not to be made the subject of retrospective lectures from gentlemen who had not thought proper to attend to the discussion. It was not upon financial considerations that he rested his ob jections to the measure, but upon political objections, and here he contended from political considerations arising out of the interpretations of the convention, that, for the sake of pre sent ease, we were really perilling our future alliance with France. He entreated the house to remember that for forty or fifty years we were to be in relations with France, which this convention involved. Those nations which wished to avoid quarrels should avoid the occasion for quarrelling ; but here, instead of avoiding the occasion for quarrelling, was a ea c o s n i v e e n n s t . ion H w e h b i c e h l e po v e d s i t i t v h e e l y r e created o a n i d n t l e i n u t s i b e a n n d t e o d tseuscth the t o h p e in Go ion ve o ri f l t in he en h t o w us e e u b ld y b a ea d r iv i i n sio m n in a d t this stage alth voting for the convention, yet there was no di fference of opinion o ; u b g u h t t h h e ei hoped was oped great difference of opinion as to the p ro p riet y o f what ever as to the prudence, wisdom , and ex p ediency of the terms of it. In conclusion, he hoped that, before the next sta g e of this question, the noble lord w ould endeavour to remov e tlus objections which had been made to these terms. After some observatio ns from Mr. John Mac g re gor , Mr. Kirk, Mr. Laing , Mr. Ca y le y , Mr. Frank Cros sley, Mr. Muntz, and Mr. Phillimore, principally in explanation o f th e reas ons for their several votes on Friday,The report was received, and leave given to Lord Pal merston and the Chancellor of the Exchequer to bring in a bill founded upon it. Mr. PALS asked a question as to the reinforcements in tended for the Crimea. Mr. PEEL declined to give the information, but said our reserves were going on satisfactorily. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Lord EBRINGTON called the attention of the House to the present state of the proceedings in the Encumbered Estates Court of Ireland, and he moved that the delays in the court had caused such hardship to the former proprietors of estates sold under its authority have to a serious extent di s appointed the expectation entertained when it was established of its probable efficiency and usefulness. A very lengthened discussion took place on this motions which eventually ended in its being negatived. Lord SEYMOUR then called the attention of the house to the course pursued by the Government, in respect to the grant made for the Ordnance Survey of Scotland in the present year. He complained that, in violation of two promises to the house, that the Treasury had sanctioned the 25-inch scale, which scale was so large as to be useless except to the landed proprietors, and as the house had been deceived he called upon it to express an opinion that would put an end to an under taking that would involve the country in an expenditure of millions for purposes not of a national character. The Lonn ADVOCATE said in reply, that if the papers now on the table were carefully considered, it would be found that the Government had pursued a right and proper course. En tering into a history of the survey, he pointed out the incon venience that had arisen from the changes of scale up to 1853, about which time the opinion of many competent men was given that a larger scale than 6-inch should be adopted, and the larger scale of 25-inch was selected. He then replied to the allegations that the house had been deceived in this respect, contending that fair notice had been gi ven of the intention to survey Ayrshire and Dumfriesshire upon the larger scale. There was no ground fot_ stating that the h ouse h a d even b een t a k en by surprise. -"Where the 25-inch scale had been undertaken it had been continued, but beyond that it would be stopped; at the same time there was an immense preponderance of opinion in favour of the larger scale. - _ _ Mr. HENLEY observed that, by the course taken by the government, the vote for the survey had been taken without the house having been made acquainted with the circumstance. Lord PALMERSTON defended the larger survey as of great public interest. After a few observations from Mr. WILLIAMS, the subject dropped. Mr. ALCOCK then called the attention of the house to the state of public opinion on the subject of the Sale of Beer Act of last session, with a view to take steps to repeal that act — allowing public-houses to remain open on Sundays after one o'clock in the afternoon. Sir G. GREY said it was most inconvenient to discuss this question, whilst the committee was yet sitting; until they had reported it could not be considered ; but when the committee reported, then the house wculd deal with the subject. The subject then dropped. Mr. CRAWFORD then called attention to a paper published in the appendix to the report of the Statute-law Commis 'apweraesitnheort r s e io fe n r e r r ed s by to in M t r h . e ß r e e ll po en r ten an K d e w rr h , ie w h hi w ch as , h n e ot sa a i : d p discussed by or laid before the other commissioners. It was then ordered that the committee of supply should be taken on Thursday. On the motion that the Limited Liabilities Bill be postponed till 12 o'clock to-morrow, Mr. MircHELL opposed it; and the house divided— For the motion .......... 76 Against it l5 Majority ......... 61 The other orders were then disposed of, and the house ad journed at 2 o'clock, a.m. \VEST LNDIES. The Royal Mail COmpany's steam-ship Tay, Captain S. W. Sawyer, arrived at Southampton on Sunday, from the West Indies, with the usual mails, containing advices from Jamaica to the 28th ult. She brought 154 passengers, and $1,328,436 in specie. The Island of Jamaica was healthy. Business is extremely dull. Sales of any magnitude cannot be effected, owing to the continuance of high prices. Much importance is attached to mining enterprises.

ROBBERY AT THE GASWORK S. —Yesterday,Robt.llumplaies, an old man employed at the gas-works, Athol-street, was brought up at the Police-office, for stealing lead. Cousens, the de tective, said that he apprehended the prisoner at his own house, No. 4,Wilbraham-place, on Saturday night, and found on the premises two pigs of lead and some lead piping. A wit ness deposed that he melted down the lead, and recognised marks on the "pigs" as corresponding with the mould. A great quantity of lead had been stolen, and suspicion fell upon the prisoner. He was ordered to pay 20s. and costs, or to go to gaol for one month. SATISFACTORY BO FAR AS IT GOES.—The two notorious burglars Owen Hall and John Mitchell,who were apprehended on the morning of Saturday week, trying to enter various houses in Upper Parliament-street by means of skeleton keys, were again brought up at the police-court yesterday, and sent to gaol for three months each. The case was fully reported in the Standard of last week. John Mitchell ,who was also apprehended as an accomplice, and a gold watch case found upon him, was discharged, as no owner had been found for the case. SINGULAR SUFFOCATION OP A CHlLD.—Edward Bingham, a child, 14 months old, whose parents reside at No. 27, Kent terrace, Kent-street, was put to bed by his mother at sit o'clock, on Saturday night. At half-past nine she went to see how he was getting on, and found the little fellow sunk into a hole in the bed, his face to the pillow, and quite dead. The mother bears an excellent character, and there is not the slightest suspicion of any imprudent act on her part. An inquest was held yesterday, and a verdict returned of " Acci dentally suffocated in bed." CRICKET IN BIRKENHEAD PARK. — Yesterday afternoon a match was commenced between the first eleven of Birkenhead Park and the Birkenhead Victoria clubs.

LAST night some thousands were congregated in the Zoolo gical Gardens, the occasion being the annual festival of the Liverpool Rechabite Lodges. There were some very promi nent instances that the principles of Rechab were not strictly adhered to by the majority of the spectators. TRIAL TRIP OF THE HABANA.—This handsome and power ful vessel—the first of the new line of ocean mail screw steamers to ply once a-month between this port, Spain, and Cuba—made a successful trial trip yesterday outside the port.

THE LIVERPOOL REBORN ASSOCIATION. -- The annual meeting of the Radicals of this town, who are members of the above body, took pla ce a t th e Commercial Hotel, Dale street, yesterday, at noon. Mr. J. C. Ewart, M.P., Chairman of the Association, sent a note of apology for non-attendance, urging the necessity of his presence in the House of Com mons to support Lord Palmerston last night, as his reason for being away. Under these circumstances, the chair was occu pied by Mr. Walter F. Macgregor. The business was merely of a routine character ; but nearly all the speakers dwelt upon the strong necessity of Liberals looking after the registration lists, as they anticipated a hard struggle at the next borough election, which was believed to be imminent. This hint will not be lost on good Conservatives. APPLE STEALING BY "PEEP OF DAY BOYS,"—John Revey and Thos. Lloyd, two young men, and John Darley, a boy, were brought up at the Police-court, yesterday, charged with steal ing apples. Detective-officer Percy said that, in conseque'nce of the numerous robberies committed at such early hours on Sunday morning, from gardens in the outskirts of the town, he and Sullivan were sent to look after the marauders, who are known as "peep of day boys," in police phraseology. They discovered the three prisoners prowling about South-hill-road, Toxteth-park, and afterwards caught them stealing apples from the garden of the Rev. J. S. Howson, No. 4. The boy told them that the other prisoners had put him over the wall, and thrashed him when he wanted to go away from the garden. They were each fined five shillings and costs.—Several others were brought up for stealing flowers, and fined in various amounts, or discharged if they had not previously been before the court.

COTTON ROBBERIES.—A very intri ca t e case of cotton rob bery was heard at the Police-court yesterday, which remanded from Saturday. In the first case, Joseph Murphy and John Wells, t wo o ld men, were charged with stealing cotton from the office of Messrs. Armstrong and Berry, Vir ginia Buildings, South Chapel-street. The principal evidence was given by a boy, named Thomas Murphy, son of the pri soner Murphy, who had been admitted to turn approver. He does not bear a good character, having been in prison for a week for obtaining money by representing himself as con nected with the detective office. About seven o'clock, on Fri day morning, Scott, the detective officer, met this boy in the street, carrying several brown paper parcels of cotton, which he said he had obtained from W e ll s, at Messrs. Armstrong and Berry's office, having been sent there by his father. On most of the parcels was written, by the boy himself, " To be left at the Oldham Station until called for, per L. and Y. Ry." Wells had been employed for twelve years to clean out the office, and he said he had been twenty years in town without a stain on his character. He utterly denied that he had seen either of the Murphys on the morning in question. He was discharged, as neither the cotton nor the paper parcels could be identified.—Joseph Murphy, Mielpel Dunne, John Foster, and Wm. Dowling, were then charged with stealing two par cels of cotton from the warehouse of Messrs. Sill and 3leugens, in Edmund-street, where the two latter were employed.omas Again the princip a l ev id ence was g i ven b y t h e b o y Murphy, who swore that his father sent him to engage a cart to remove the cotton from the warehouse.
