MONDAY NIGHT. WITH little of importance occurring during the week to affect the probabilities of the question with reference to the war, the Public Funds have experi enced very little change in value, although towards the close of the week the tendency was rather down ward ; arising, it is said, from a belief that Sir E. B. livrrox's motion would be successful, and lead to a resignation of Ministers. The change, however, was comparatively trifling ; the causes which would influ ence a rise or a fall being so evenly balanced. Money, for commercial purposes, has been easy, there being no change in the low rates of discount on first-class paper which have recently prevailed. The Bank returns of Friday show a decrease in the stock of bullion of nearly half-a-million. This is, no doubt, owing to the large shipments of bullion which took place the week before last, as payments of the divi dends had not then commenced. The Foreign Exchanges are now more favourable, and it is said that shipments to Paris have ceased, but the French loan will not be without its influence on monetary affairs between the two countries. It will be seen by the return that there is a large increase in the public deposits, preparatory to the dividends being paid ; but private deposits have considerably diminished, arising, doubtless, from the demand for gold, or the payment of deposits on the loan. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER has announced his intention of asking for more money, but as no fresh loan can be contracted until the whole of the instalments on the £16,000,000 have been paid, no fur ther operation of this kind will take place until December. The accounts 'rom Manchester report continued dulness, owing to the unwillingness to operate until some more definite opinion can be entertained as to the probable course of events ; but prices are on the whole fairly maintained, as the short supply of the raw material is not likely to be materially increased. The Woollen trade is moderately active, and, notwithstand ing the large amount of wool offered at the recent sales in London, the tendency of prices is rather up ward 'than otherwise.

The divisions in the ministry, 'too, have had something to do with the decline. At 'ihe settlement now in progress, from the public 'taking more largely.of stock than was expected, it has proved scarce, ,espeCially Lancashire and Yorkshire and-`Mid land, the cantangoes upon which have dwindled materially since the opening of - the settlement.

OoTroN.—The market has been altogether Without animation, owing to the dulness which continues to prevail at 'Manchester ; but, as it is not at all likely that the present short supply will be materially ex ceeded, =holders are firm, and there is %very little difference in prices. The •sale,g for the week, up to Friday, amounted to only `28,200 bales, of whiCh 3,920 were taken on speculation, - and 820 for export, leaving 23,460 for the trade. TO-I,AY, the sales were 7,000 bales, including 1,000 for speculation and export.

WOOL.—There ;bas been a large business doing this week, considering the limited stocks of Wool now b e e offering in the market ; and anything i n goo d, c l ean, u Smyrna, Peruvi an , Oporto,seful m descriptions, o.ad reScsucc.,hhaayse Turkne good request, and considerable sales have been made at very firm prices. More attention has also been turned to Donskoi fleece, the relative low rates •ruling for these Wools having induced a speculative demand, and the market has ,been pretty well cleared of what is attainable at our .quotations, viz., at 81d. The public sales in Loudon commenced on the sth inst., and are progressing very steadily at an average advance of -lA. to ld. per lb. on Colonial Wool ; 70,000 bales will be sold this series, and the general opinion seems to be that the present advance will be supported throughout. The imports for the week are 6,096 bales, consisting of 2,30 S bales Mediterranean ; 2,586 bales Peruvian ; 433 bales Buenos Ayres ; 256 bales East India ; 136 bales Por tugal ; 255 bales Scotch : 65 bales coastwise; 57 bales Irish ; total, 6,096 bales. MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES. MANCHESTER.—This week we are without the slighest show of animation, and any disposition of manufacturers and Spinners to accept reduced quotations is only met by an offer, on the part of buyers, of still lower prices. The Greek houses have been purchasing yarns rather more freely, and the Ger man houses who are exporters to the Mediterranean have also been busier ; but this demand has no further effect than to keep somewhat in check the too rapid accumulation of stocks. For India there is very little doing. Goods are equally dull with yarns, but prices are also so low that a further decline is resolutely resisted, more so even than in yarns.—Manches ter Courier. ROCHDALE.—The demand for pieces continues good, and quite equal to the supply. There is little to report in the wool market except that the prices are upwards. LEEDS.—The markets at our Cloth Halls were fully as brisk as of late. The stocks are reduced lower than usual at this season, and prices are firm, with a tendency upwards. The mills continue to be pretty well employed. About an average quantity of goods has been sold in the warehouses, but the foreign trade continues languid. BRADFORD.—WOOI : Spinners having got into good work ing stock are less anxious to purchase, and the business doing is only limited. Prices still rule firm.—Yarn :No alteration in prices, and the demand continues steady. Pieces : The beautiful weather gives a tone of confidence, and it is not impossible that the autumn trade may be an average one. NOTTINGHAM.—There is the usual lassitude in the condition of business which is almost invariably the case with the hosiery and lace trades at this season, and which generally prevails till about the end of next month or beginning-of September, as there is generally very little shipping business, and the home houses only buy small quantities to assist their stock, THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. MUSIC AND THE DRAMA. AT THE THEATRE ROYAL, during the past week, such ama teurs of well-represented dramatic pieces of mere amusement as chose to attend, had ample opportunity of gratification in the performances of M. Levassor and his able assistants, who represented a series of comic dramas, and cleverly enacted parodies on pieces of established reputation. M. Levassor is an actor of great and versatile talent, which has been culti vated with praiseworthy and successful assiduity. In several of the pieces he sustained more characters than one, and de lighted his audience with the rapidity of his changes, and the entire vraisemblance of his impersonations. His style is polished, graceful, and easy, and the quiet simplicity of his really earnest deportment takes his representations almost out of the range of histrionic effort, and places his appearance more on a par with the refined suavity of elevated socsoc ial life. In dis playing the characteristics of a man of breeding and refine; ment, he exhibits the steady equipoise of manner observable in the educated gentleman—he is at once firm and unobtrusive— easy, without being familiar—dignified without hauteur. As a comic actor, he was scarcely, if at all, less successful: now displaying bursts of fun, and anon giving effect to a stream of quiet, gentle, and refined humour of the most fascinating order. In Mad'lle. Zupire, he had an able and judicious aide. This lady is an admirable specimen of the accomplished French comedienne. Always self-possessed and graceful, she treads the stage as she would the floor of a drawing-room, and while never losing sight of the actress, she, in every phase of her performance, keeps the lady present to the eye of the specta tor. She sings, too, with much taste and expression, and adds the charm of a refined ease of deportment to a handsome figure, and a countenance full of characteristic emotion. Md'lle. Pascal and Mons. Vezian further contributed by their talents and the quiet exercise of their varied skill to enhance the value of these beautiful performances.—At this theatre it will be perceived Mr. Charles Matthews commences an engage ment for six nights on Monday next. AT THE ROYAL AIarEXTREITIZE the performances have been graced by the appearance of a debutante, in the person of Miss Blanche Fane, who, along with the accom plished comedian, Mr. Ranger, has been playing in a round of favourite English comedies. This young lady is about to make her curtsey on the boards of the Haymarket, prepara tory to which she has taken a brief engagement here. In person she is rather petite, although well formed and of an easy carriage; her countenance is pleasing, and finely suscep tible of varied expression. In stage deportment she is natural and easy, and is possessed of a lively play of features. In several of the characters which she has enacted, she has dis played a good—indeed an excellent appreciation of the part alloted to her, and has been gay and sportive without an effort—sedate and thoughtful without being heavily didactic. As Lady Teazle, in the "School for Scandal," which she played on Wednesday, and repeated on Friday, she exhibited a great deal of right feeling, and gave an excellent repre sentation of the giddy thoughtlessness and inconsiderate vivacity of impulsive emotion. The 'Arta Sir Peter was ad mirably sustained by Mr. Ranger, and most of the other •cha racters were respectably filled up. The Lady Sneertnell of Mrs. J. Walton would have lost nothing of its interest or effi ciency if she had had time to render herself moderately familiar With the dialogue. As 'Charles Suefil4e, Loraine appeared to rather more advantage than usual. ITALIAN OPERAS IN LIVERPOOL..--It is rumoured that arrangements have been made fora series of Italian operatic performances in this town, to take place in the course of the ensuing autumn, which, for complet eness an d efficiency, will surpass any previously witnessed in Liverpool, .and be little inferior to those given in the metropolis. The 'principal ar tistes of the Royal Italian Opera are it is-said engaged, includ ing -Gardini and Tamberlik as tenor, Taglialco, &c., bassi, Boil°, Garcia, Rudersdorf, Itidibe, &c., an prime donne. The chorus and band will also be complete, and the properties and dresses the same as at Covent-garden. 'The operas to be given will, we believe, consist of several new to the Liverpool public, ircluding Verdi's chef d'teuvre " Il Trovatore," which has been so successful in London this season. NEXT session of Parliament, it is said, a bill will be intro duced making Liverpool and Birkenhead one municipality. THE CIVIL SERVICE IN LIVERPOOL: APPOINTMENM— Mr. Hugh Campbell has been appointed an extra weighar in the Customs department of this port. In the Inland Revenue department, Mr. John' , Dodd, Excise-officer, has been appointed to Holywell Third Ride, North Wales Collection. AnoUT three months ago a gentleman sent a diamond breast pin to Mr. Charles Wells, jeweller, Bold-street, to be repaired, and on being returned it was found that paste had been sub stituted for the diamond. The man who had repaired the pin absconded, and no trace'of the missing diamond was discovered until last week, when it was - taken to Mr. Wells' shop by a young woman, Who offered it for sale. She was given into custody, and has been remanded until the police can make in quiries. SHORT TIMR TN MlLLs.—The meetings convened in Pres ton last week and the preceding week, to consider the pro priety of working short time' in cotton factories, were not attended by many millowners, - there being a general feeling that in such a ,question each manufacturer should be left to act as his inclination or interest led him, rather than , join in any combination. We' learn,' however, 'that the state of the trade is such that it is not improbable that several mills will soon run four days a week, there being a general impresiion that such a - course can alone effect any beneficial change either in the 'Liverpool or Manchester markets.— Preston Chronicle. DEPARTURE OF AUSTRALIAN SHIPS. — To-morrow •the Royal Mail padket clipper ship Shalimar, belonging to Messrs. Pilkington and Wilson's - celebrated " White' Star" Line, Will go into the river, and she li - 111, without fail, sail on Friday next, the 20th inst. She has already on board nearly all her cargo, and she will carry • out about 320 passengers. Her mails will close in London on ' Thursday evening ; but in Liverpool letters will be reeeived,•with late fees, to within an hour or two of the vessel's -sailing. The Conway, belonging to the " Black Ball" Line; sailed on Thursday last, for Hobart Town, with a full-cargo•and a large compliment of passengers. The Biobio, belonging to , the same company, will probably sail this week for Sydney. The James Baines is the next mail packet after the Shalimar, , for Melbourne, on the sth August. The Bomeram, with the Australian mails, is expected in about a week from Melbourne. Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and , Co., have their clipper ship - - Albatross on the berth for Melbourne. Messrs. Pilkington and , Wilson are in hourly expectation of the arrival of the Red !Jacket. WAR MOVEMENTS A.T 'anis PORT.—The South American and General Steam Navigation Company's screw-steamer Imperatriz, 1,800 tons, Captain Cox, arrived in the Mersey on Wednesday night, from 'Portsmouth, at which port -ale landed invalids from the seat of war. She is in the Sandou Graving Dock, getting a thorough overhaul. Her horse fittings have been taken down, and she is being prepared to receive infantry. 2She will be ready in about a week, when she will embark the ,66th Foot, consisting of 33 officers and 869 rank and file. The Admiralty troop-steamer Resolute, Transport No. 214, arrived here on Saturday, to remedy some slight defects in her new machinery. The Cunard screw-steamer Emu, Transport No. 74, arrived here -on Sunday morning, bringing ;Capt. Wickham, 33rd Regiment, wounded in the Crimea,-the Syrian Archbishop of India, and a number of dock-yard artificers from the Black Sea. The steamer City of Aberdeen is hourly expected here from Portsmouth, to embark detachments of the 2nd Dragoon Guards and the 11'-th Lancers for the Crimea. Three large batches of naval volunteers, were sent up to London last week, and another will be despatched to-night. It is believed that a trial of Naysmith's large wrought-iron gun will take place on the North Shore in: a few days. ONE OF THE GREATESTPLAWIES OF LlFE.—Mary Trainer, a rather good-looking servant girl, was charged at the Police court, yesterday, with robbing her mistress, Mrs. Keegan, of Upper Canning-street, with whom she had lived about five weeks. A gentleman who -lodges at the houses said :—That about half-past five o'clock -a few mornings ago, he heard a loud ring at the door, but paid •no attention to it. Shortly after he heard another ding, and in going down stairs he saw a policeman at the door, -who said that he had noticed the girl sitting up during the night, and finding the door open he sus ,pected she had run away, and so he rang the bell. This was -found to be true, her bed in •the kitchen had not been laid -upon, and several little things were missing. Inspector Horne said that he was informed of the robbery, and traced the girl to:a house in Gascoigne-street, where he found a large box. She then took him to a shop in Waterloo-road, where he found a band-box, and at her mother's, in Crosshall-street, he found another box belonging to her. All these eontained property stolen from Mrs. Keegan, consisting of a dress, pockethand kerchiefs, shoes, boots, gloves, arc. A person from the shop in Waterloo-road said that the prisoner asked her misses to have her box there, as she was going to sail for America in a day or two. The plaintiff did not press the charge, .as the girl had previously borne a good character, and the latter got off with two months' imprisonment. CLEVEIOCAPTURE OF DARING THIEVES.—James Mitchell and Owen ,Hall, two unmistakeable rogues in appearance, and Thomas Fow/er, a better-looking man, rather respectably dressed, were brought up at the Police-court, yesterday. Detective -officer Povey stated that, in consequence of the numerous robberies from houses whose occupants are " gone to market" or out for the summer," he and M'Culloch were sent out on particular duty on Saturday morning. About half-past ten o'clock they saw Mitchell and Hall "- dodging" about a house in Egerton-street, which was robbed that morning. They were well disguised, and Mitchell was carry ing a black stuff bag. After trying both the front and back doors of that house, they (the officers) saw them go to the house of the schoolmaster of St. James' Schools, near Parlia ment-street, and try that. The officers then posted them selves amongst the shrubs of St. James's Mount, whore they had a distinct view .of the rogues' manceurres. After seeing enough to satisfy them that there was " something in the wind," the detectives made a " descent." Povey suc ceeded in pouncing upon Hall, but McCulloch had a •chase after Mitchell through several streets, and the latter was captured in St. George's-square, by Inspector Murphy, who happened to be there, as he said "quite promiscuous," on other business. Povey took Hall into a publie-house in Tithebarn-street, and searched him. He found an enor mous bunch of skeleton keys, a screw driver, and other housebreaking implements. One of the keys fits the door of a house in Windsor-street, robbed last week of about £lOO worth of property, and the chisel fitted the marks in both the drawers and wardrobes that had been opened in it. Another key fitted a house where £4O worth of property was taken a few days ago ; another the front door of the house of the schoolmaster already referred to ; and another key fitted the back door of the house of Captain J. N. Forbes (so well-known for his Australian voyages), at No. 98, Windsor-street, which was " marked" to be robbed that night. Detective Carlisle searched Hall's lodgings, at 14, Lawrence-street, where he found two more skeleton keys, concealed in a piece of paper, at the top of a cupboard. At Mitchell's lodgings in Gerard street, a gold stud was found, similar to a set stolen from the house in Egerton-street on Saturday morning. The black bag which he was carrying, contained a shawl as " a blind," in case of an awkward inquiry, One or two female witnesses were called, who identified both prisoners as persons whom they had seen lurking about the houses robbed on the day of the occurrences. Inspector Murphy said that after he had consigned Mitchell to the Police-office, in Dale-street, he came out and saw Fowler standing near the door, as if interested in the fate of the prisoners. He seized him suddenly, and found in his pockets a gold watch case and pawn tickets for two gold watches, probably stolen at the races, and of which he could give no satisfactory account. Mr. Bluck, attorney, who appeared for the prisoners, asked Murphy if he did not know that Fowler was a watchmaker ? Murphy : Aye, and something more. (Laughter.) He has stolen watches. Povey produced the " implements" found upon the pris o ilers. Mr. Bluck : Do you call those skeleton keys ? Pove : Yes, and very good ones, too. Mr. Bluck : They are very rusty. Povey : Perhaps, they haven't been much in practice lately. (Laughter.) Mr. Bluck : And are they not used by other persons besides the prisoners ? Povey : No. Whitesmiths use them for a particular purpose some times. The prisoners were all remanded, as Inspector Murphy said he had no doubt he could obtain further evidence. COMMITTEE ON ADULTERATION OF FOOD. THE committee appointed by the House of Commons to in quire into the subjects of adulterations of food assembled at one o'clock on Friday, Mr. Scholefield iu the chair. Dr. Hassell was the first witness called, and he stated the results of his investigation into almost every article of food, not one of which escaped adulteration. The substances em ployed in the process of adulteration were sawdust, red ferru ginous earth, Venetian red, vermillion, Prussian blue, turmeric, and things of the most filthy and poisonous character. In such articles as arrowroot, mustard, &c., there was scarcely a particle of the genuine substance which they pretended to be. The witness stated that tea-leaves were dried up, coloured with offensive matter, and resold as genuine tea. In the manufac ture of pickles copper was very extensively used. Red lead was often found in Cayenne pepper, and was apt tq be very in jurious to the system if taken two or three times a week. Chromate of lead was used so extensively in snuff as frequently to produce paralysis. No leads escaped freely out of the system, but were cumulative, and consequently dangerous. It might be mentioned that a strong redness in Cayenne peper was a ,suspicious circumstance, though not conclusive, as the addition of salt to pure Cayenne would render it more vividly red than even red lead itself. _ Lord Claude Hamilton—With regard to other articles, are they adulterated chiefly by the wholesale dealers, or by retail dealers, to whom they are supplied ? Witness—No doubt by the wholesale dealers. On referring to the adulterations of marmalade, the Chair man inquired whether it was always made of oranges. Wit ness—Oh no; generally of turnips. (Laughter.) In answer to questions in reference to coloured con fectionery, the witness stated that scarcely a year passed without deaths arising from the consumption of these adulterated articles. The largest consumption was amongst children, who were consequently the principal victims. He had purchased such confectionery at large and small shops, and he found very little difference between them. There was an enormous consumption of this coloured confectionery, and there had been a great increase since the diminution in the price of sugar. After some evidence on the adulteration of gin, the com mittee adjourned till Wednesday next (to-morrow). THE MoDELs OF PARIS AND PERE LA CHAISE, it will be seen, are still on view in Old Postoffice-place. At the present time, when so many are availing themselves of the facilities aird other inducements held out to visit the French capital, an attentive study of these models must be generally useful. To those going to Paris it will greatly abridge their labour and increase their comfort by enabling them to understand the different localities which they will require to visit. To those who remain at home, it will increase the means of un derstanding what is said to them of it by their more fortunate friends who have made the visit. STEALING FROM THE ADELPHI HOTEL.—On Saturday, Margaret Lewis, a middle-aged woman, was charged before the Police-court with stealing a large number of knives, forks, glasses, towels, and other articles, from the Adelphi Hotel. The officer stated that information had been given by Mr. Radley, of a number '4l articles having been stolen. The officer suspected the prisoner, who had been employed by Mr. Radley as a charwoman. He went to a house of bad character, in Dance-street, which was kept by the prisoner, and he there found a great number of articles, bearing the mark of the hotel. The prisoner did not deny the charge. She was sent to gaol for a month. It appeared that the woman had got into Mr. Radley's employ on the faith of a false character, she having passed herself off as a poor widow, anxious to work hard fora iving. She has a small annuity, derived from some property in Carnarvonshire. A MA.uret STORE DEALER IN TRODBLE.—On Saturday, Samuel Winter, a middle-aged man, who keeps a marine store in Sumner-street, was brought before the .Pdlice-court, for having about 701bs of metal beats, and a large quantity of composition (nails, for which he could not satisfactorily ac ocount. The officer who had charge of the case stated that a boy, named] Johnson, who was an apprentice with Messrs. Humble and Grayson, of Neptune-street, had gone at various times to Mr. Marsden's in Argyle-staeet, with forged orders for nails and bolts, which were supposed to be for'his employers. It turned out, however, that the boy had sold about 31- cwt. of nails to marine store dealers. The boy's -employers did not wish to prosecute him, as he was a poor orphan, and had pro missed to go to sea. But, as the boy had told - to whom he had sold some .of the nails, the officer went and searched the prisoner's premises. A•large quantity of nails and bolts were -found, of which no entries were made in his books ; and some of the property was found at the prisoner's private dwelling, in Gildart's Gardens.—After some comments by the magis trate, a fine of 20s. and costs was inflicted; and his license *was ordered to be revoked. THE CHANGINGSOINES OF A POL/CE. , OFFICE.—A young -woman, raving mad, as conveyed'to the Salford Police-off ice , on Thursday, for safelteeping. She was a mother, and had an infant six weeks old. The cause of her derangement was the -enlistment intothe militia of the young man who was the father of the child. She was a Roman Catholic, and she called loudly and repeatedly for a -confessor. A priest was sent far, and, though it had previously required two men to hold her, whenieft alone'with him she was as quiet as possible. He remained with her a few minutes, and when he left the room she broke out again, and was as violent as ever. The child is .six weeks old, and as it 'had not been baptized, and is not likely to live, the priest proposed to baptize it. Water was accordingly sent for, and the ceremony was performed in the superintendent's office, in .the presence of the woman who cleans the police , office, and one or two women who had accom panied the-lunatic to the station. In the course of the day the unfortunate creature and-her child were removed to 'the workhouse. Previous to this, however, an elderly man, who had for many years been a public servant, was conveyed to the police-station, prior to his removal, under the usual,certi ficates, to the county - asylum at Prestwich. He was a reli gious monomaniac. Later in the day some boys took to the office the body of a prematurely stillborn child, which they had found in the river; and the police would have to see to its interment, which would, probably, be effected with all the expedition consistent with .common decency.—Manchester Guardian. HEALTir COMMITTEE.—At the usual meeting, on Thurs day, Mr. Dover presiding, the Medical Officer represented that the mortality of the borough was lower in the week ending on Saturday than in any week of the preceding twenty months. The total deaths were 170, the average of the same week of the preceding seven years 228.—A tender from George Ravenscroft for sewering Harrington-streei, Bell-street, Fisher-street, •&c., at a cost of £1039, was re ferred ; a tender of Jame Jones for sewering Water-street and King-street-lane. West Derby, was accepted ; also a tender from John Hankin, for similar work in Fairdlough lane.—ln accordance with ,a notice of motion previously given, Mr. Dover proposed an increase in the salary of Mr. Davies, the duty 'borough engineer. Mr. Beckwith saw no grounds for the proposed advance, and stated that in 1846 Mr. Davies had an advance to £2OO, in 1860 he was advanced to £3OO, and in 1853 to £350 per annum. Mr. Johnson moved that the salary of Mr. Davies be advanced to £4OO per annum. Mr. Beckwith would oppose it not only there but in the council. Same conversation took place, and after a suggestion that the subject be referred, the committee, without coming to a division, allowed the matter to drop.— The Law-clerk informed the committee that Sir Benjamin Hall had declined to proceed further with his Public Health Bill. With regard to the alleged encroachments by the Dock Committee at Wapping, he had forwarded to their secretary .a copy of the resolution passed •by the Health Committee, but had not received any official answer. Some desultory con versation took place upon the subject. Mr. Halhead sug gested a resolution referring•certain understood arrangements as to the land, &c., to the surveyor of the two trusts, but no decision was come to upon it.—This being the whole of the business, the Board adjourned. TEE DUKE of CA MBRIDGE is to be immediately appointed Generalissimo of the Foreign Legion. -Suictnn.—On Thursday afternoon, a gentleman named Thomas Wilson committed suicide, at Eastley's Hotel, South ampton-street, Strand, London, by shooting himself with a pistol. A letter was found in the room, directed to Mr. David Wilson, Belfast ; which contained, also, a request that his portmanteau should be sent to Miss Wilson,Victoria-street, Belfast. INFRINGING THE LIBERTY OP THE SUBJECT.—A rag gatherer,.about fifty-five years of age, on Friday threw himself into the Seine from the Pont d'Austerlitz. An octroi man, who happened to be on the towing-path, immediately plunged in and rescued him. The rag-gatherer, instead of thanking the man, was no sooner brought safe to land than he flew into a violent passion, and abused him grossly. " A pretty thing, indeed !" cried he, " not to allow a man to leave the world when and how he pleases ! And," he added, "I ought to be allowed to drown myself, for I have three times merited the guillotine !" CRUISING IN THE NEW ROYAL YACHT.—The Queen and Prince, accompanied by the King of the Belgians, the Count of Flanders, Princess Charlotte of Belgium, the Princess Royal, and the Princesses Alice and Helena, embarked at Osborne pier on Thursday afternoon, for a cruise in the new Royal yacht Victoria and Albert. The course was round the Isle of Wight, which wa s accom pli s h e d i n th ree h ours an d t wen t y minutes. The distance is about 62 nautical miles; the Royal yacht, for her tonnage, may therefore be considered the fastest vessel in England. The same evening, Her Majesty took a second cruise from Osborne round the Nab light-vessel, and back again. Mi7RDER AND MUTILATION OP A CHlLD. — Elizabeth Perkins, aged 28, has been committed for trial on the warrant of the coroner of Shrewsbury, charged with the wilful murder of her female infant. The evidence at the inquest was to the effect that the prisoner had lived as cook with Mr. Harding, manager of the business of Messrs. Redmaine and Co., mercers, Shrewsbury. The prisoner's sister was the chief witness; and from other evidence it was proved that the child had been cut into small pieces, and the remains had been found in the water ,closet. The witness stated that she had not been aware of the condition of the prisoner, and that she attributed her appear ance to dropsy. The surgeon stated that the prisoner had admitted the birth of the child, but said it had been born dead. In his opinion, however, this was not the ease. SALAD! VlNEGAR.—Eschalots, sweet savoury, chives, and tarragon, of each three ounces ; two tablespoonfuls of dried mint-leaves, and the same quantity of balm ; pound all these in a mortar, and put them into a stone jar holding a gallon of strong white wine vinegar, cork it down securely ; let it stand for a couple of weeks exposed to the sun, strain it ofF, press as much as possible from the herbs, &c., and filter it through a flannel bag.

Lord Panmure has favoured the Electric Telegraph Com pany with the following :—" A Russian sortie took place against the French Rifle Pits in front of the Malakoff, on Saturday night, which was gallantly repulsed. The army is healthy." The 10th Hussars were suffering from cholera. A number of sick officers of the different regiments had left for England. The Times' Crimean correspondent writes, on the 2nd of July,—" Since my communication of the 30th ult. the siege operations have tardily progressed in their severe, monotonous, and wearying routine." PARIS, MONDAY.—The Moniteur states, that the last de spatch is dated July 14th, 10 p.m. It says that no change had taken place in the situation. St. Petersburg private letter's of the 7th, mention that Prince Gortschakoff has written to his government that, up to the 30th of June, he had received the greater part of his reinforcements, and that he expected the rest the Ist day of July. He is said to express the utmost confidence in the success of his efforts to defend Sebastopol. The revenue returns of France for the past six months of this year show an increase of 38,000,000 francs. THE FUNDS. The English market was inanimate all day at the lower prices of Saturday ; the anticipation of a loan continued to operate unfavourably. Railways, with the exception of Cale donians, which have improved, have not experienced much alteration, but the market displayed heaviness of tone. In Land and Bank Shares there is little feature. In Foreign Securities, Turkish showed renewed buoyancy, and closed at further considerable advance. Peruvian, owing to the pro posed increase of the sinking fund, have also improved. CLOSING PRICES.

The Royal assent was given by commission to a number of bills. A long discussion took place upon the presentation of a petition from certain native inhabitants of the presidency of Madras, praying for a change in the mode of Indian govern ment. The bills on the table were advanced a stage. The House adjourned at 6.55 p.m. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY. The house met at four o'clock. Mr. Grenville Berkeley took the oaths and his seat for Cheltenham. The house was summoned to the House of Lords, to hear the royal assent given by commission to a number of public and private bills. Lord J. Russell entered the house shortly before half-past four o'clock, and took his seat at the back of the ministerial benches, just below Lord Seymour. In reply to Captain Duncombe, Sir C. WOOD said the release of the British officers and seamen taken at Hango had been formally demanded on the part of Her Majesty's govern ment, but no answer had yet been received. The prisoners, he understood, were well treated. Lord PALMERSTON, ill answer to a question from Mr. Moffatt, stated that, it would not be for the interests of the public to place the Post-office upon the same footing as the Customs or the Excise ; and, on consideration, he saw no rea son for proposing such a change. Captain DIINCOMDE asked the noble lord whether, at any time, a subsidy was contemplated for Austria by the British government ? Lord PALMERSTON replied : No, Sir ! Never ! LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S EXPLANATIONS. On the motion that the order of the day be postponed, for the purpose of proceeding with Sir E. B. Lytton's motion, LORD J. RUSSELL rose and said, that on Thursday last he had stated to Lord Palmerston that he wished to retire from office, and he had to state that Her Majesty had been pleased to accept his resignation, and he now held office only until his successor was appointed. He then entered at great length into an account of his proceedings at ,Vienna, and upon his return, observing that it was true he had promised to lay before the Government in the most favourable manner the propositions that had been made to him by Austria. He i did so :in conjunction with other persons of great weight and authority, and acted in conjunction with the Ministers of Fo reign Affairs for France and Turkey. He brought this proposal to this country upon the 29th of April. On the 30th, a Cabinet Council was held, the result of which was that the propositions not adopted by Her Majesty's Government. He then justi fied his conduct in recommending the adoption of these pro positions, stating that the rejection of them did not alter his opinion of their merits; and replied to Mr. Disraeli's objections, that if they were received, there was no great issue at stake to justify the exertions which this country was making to carry on the war. It was because the wa r wa s necessary that these exertions should be made , and he was the bearer c h i o a u ted ght th t e h m ey ag w n e it r u e d a e t of t t h h a e t peril to Turkey; he conceived the power of the project of toifmteh fite ptio.o be e o s a i Russia to be such that it was necessary, if possible, to co m bi ne t c i c o e n p s ted b . eca ll us e e appreciated all the great powers of Europe against her, in order that peace might be secured. Such was the foundation of his opinions— not formed suddenly upon the merits of the proposition ; but when Lord Westmoreland wrote, on the 16th May, a despatch stating that the Austrian Government conceived they had fulfilled the conditions of the treaty of December 2nd, and that they would not make the refusal of Russia to accept the proposition a casus belli, but only a ground for breaking off the Conferences. When the government received that de spatch, tllere was no doubt, on their part, that it was not worth their while to go into Conference to support a prove sition of the kind there stated ? which was less favourable to the Allies than that proposed by M. Drouyn de Lhuys, which it was nearly certain, Russia would reject, and which Austria would not go to war to support. From that time, therefore, there was altogether an end to negociations with Austria for the purpose of proposing an ultimatum to Russia,, and that the war must be continued in order to maintain the obeets of the Allies. It had been made a reproach to him by Mr. Disraeli and others, that though he had been the bearer of the Austrian propositions, he had spoken in favour of a vigourous prosecution of the war. He could not see what else he could possibly do. The govern ment had determined that the negotiations must be put an end to, and what other means were there left for obtaining for a solution to the third point. The government were quite right in not making a communication to the house of the Austrian propositions at that time. The decision of Austria not to interfere by force nor to move her armies upon Russian trritory, but on the contrary to withdraw from any participation in the the contest, and even" to diminish and.. reduce here froces having been taken, it was evident from that moment that Russia which had been threatened, and has felt lgpressure of the great increase of the Austrian army, feel- What preessure taken off, would immediately feel herself at liberty to detatch some of the best troops in her army to the shores of the Crimea, to oppose the armies of Great Britain and France, render these circumstances, it would have been most unjustifiable for the government to have stated prema turely the decision of Austria not to propose an ultimatum to Russia. He could not conceive a greater dereliction of duty in such acase. The noble lord further defended his opinion in this respect, adding that the government were united in the course that had been taken. He further stated that when Mr. Gib son brought forward his question last Friday, after all that had then occurred, he should have been totally unworthy of his opinion if he had shrunk from meeting it with the expla nation which he then made. What else could he do than own and admit the part he had taken in these transactions, He should have been ashamed of himself if he had denied that which he had done, and that whieh was his conscientious opinion. The hon. baronet (Sir E. Lytton) thought that the course he had taken was a ground for want of confidence in the whole Administration, and he was of opinion that because he (Lord J. Russell) held these views in May, he was incapable of serving Her Majesty. Now that impression appeared to preuail generally, and he consequently thought it necessary to tender his resignation. Lord Palmerston having taken this course, he did not feel at all discontented with the position in which he found himself. He saw no reason to do so. He had always acted from what he believed to be for the benefit of the country. He had turned over this question again and again with a view to the public interest. He had advised that which he thought expedient for the eountry, and, whatever might happen, he had the satisfaction of having acted accord. ing to his conscience- SIR E. B. LYTTON'S MOTION. Sir E. B. LYTTON then rose and said that, in bringing for. ward his resolution he hoped the house would be as indulgent to him as they had been to the noble lord, placed as he was under the necessity of bringing forward a motioe against a government which, but for the conduct of one of its members, was entitled to their indulgence and commpassion. He then proceeded to criticies the noble lord's speech, who, he said, as a member of the government, had called upon the country to spill its best blood in a war which he, as a negotiator, believed unnecessary. Adverting to the Vienna correspondence, he expressed surprise that the noble lord had not retired from the cabinet within a week after he returned. It was surpris ing that the noble lord at the head of the government had not seen that his government could not go on while its members were so completely divided in opinion, as was apparent from the correspondence that the Secretaay for the Colonies and the Secretary for Foreign Affairs were wholly at variance on the question of counterpoise. He (Sir. E. B. Lytton) gave a hearty concurrence to the sound and healthy tone of Lord Claren don's correspondence, but how could Lord Palmerstone think of going on when he contrasted the opinions of that nobleman with those of Lord J. Russell. Was Lord Clarendon to be considered the specimen of the Cabinet? Were they all united —were the first Lord of the Admiralty and the Chan cellor of the Exchequer in unison with the rest of the Cabinet in carrying on the war ? The Cabinet was said to be united last May, yet it was now admitted that there were differences of opinion ; and he would remark that a discussion like this would scarcely be excused by the plea of expediency. He would withdraw his motion, for all its objects had been at tained. Mr. BOUVERIE said that, as the motion had vanished into thin air, he would offer a few words upon a subject personal to himself. He had seen a statement that he was one of some members of the government who had waited upon Lord Pal merston, to say that they could not resist the motion of the hon. baaonet. The very reverse of that statement was the truth. The fact was, that he had refused to be a party to such a representation, upon the distinct ground of his personal attachment to Lord J. Russell ; but he stated that, as a friend of the noble lord, he was ready, however painful it might be, to convey to him the general impression among his colleagues. In this he thought he was acting as a true friend of the noble lord—(a laugh)—and he was satisfied that his noble friend fully appreciated the motives which led him to take such a step. (A langh.)
