I —Stockton Mercury. Tut second meeting of the recently-elected Improvement Commissioners was held on Thursday last, In the board-room. The chair was occupied by Mr. John Marsh, besides whom there were also present Messrs. Arratt, Thompson, Radley, Balmain, Gamble, Shanks, Yates, Robinson, and Penketh. The first business transacted was the appointment of the paving, sewering, water, and finance committees. After the appointment of these committees, Mr. McManus, the surveyor, in accordance with the request of the meeting, signified through the Chairman, produced his plans for the general sewerage. As it was expected that an inspector from the Ge neral Board of Health, would be present, to make inquiry as to the sanitary state of the town prior to bringing it under the operation of the Public Health Act, Mr. 31`14fanus also produced his report on the water-works, which he had been previously instructed to prepare. The full consideration of the subject was deferred, and remitted to the Water Committee. The report showed that more water was actually consumed than had been calculated on when the water-works were com menced, yet, on a comparison of the population with the amount of water used, it was shown not to be greater than was necessary for sanitary purposes. To meet the increasing demand for water, consequent on the rapid growth of the town, it would be necessary, the report said, at no distant period, to erect another engine, and construct a larger reser voir, plans for effecting which accompanied the report. These exhibited the late improvements made for preventing the waste which had previously occurred. Suggestions were also con tained in the report for additional alterations and improve ments on the water supply, which, if carried into effect, would cause a material saving in the working expenses. It also showed that at various points in the gathering ground (near Knowsley-park), more water might be made available for the purposes of the water-works. The report also stated that several of Mr. Taylor's meters had been tested, and found to register correctly. The surveyor recommended the construction of public baths, chiefly for the accommodation of the workmen employed at the numerous chemical works, foundry works, glass works, and coal mines in and a b ou t th e t own. S everal s i tes, both eligible and central, were pointed out as suitable for the baths. It was further intimated that, if the commissioners did not feel themselves warranted to take the matter up, a company might do so with advantage, as shares at £3 or £5 each would be speedily taken up, to an extent f u lly amp l e f or th e erect i on of the building, and the carrying out of the plan. This was gene rally looked on as a step in the right direction, and one which, if carried into operation, will be hailed 'by thousands of work men as one of the greatest boons which could be conferred on them Eft is to be hoped the commissioners will turn to profitable public account the zealous and judicious services of an officer who gives such unmistakeable evidence of his ability and judgment as Mr. M`Manus has already done in connection with various improvements in the town. That, in short, the suggestions contained in the present, as well as others which have been thrown out in previous reports, on the general sewerage of the town will be acted on by the commissioners ; and that through these means the frightful visitation of disease which last year afflicted the inhabitants, may be oided.] THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. COMMERCIAL and MOIV.ETARI 7 NEWS MONDAY NIGHT. IF the p r i ce o f th e P u blic Funds d ur i ng the wee k were to be taken as a test of the condition of th e Money-market, it would betoken a state of easy quietude, for the fluctuations have been but slight. It has been, however, like the web of human life—a mingled yarn of good and ill, the one counterbalancing the other. The absence of any decisive news from the seat of war, the preparations for the French loan, and the conviction that the Chancellor of the Exchequer must shortly make fresh demands upon the national resources, led to a depression which threatened to be serious ; but it was speedily counteracted by the arrival of the magnificent ship the Red Jacket from Mel bourne, with more than half-a-million sterling in gold, and favourable accounts of further supplies and im proving markets. This had the effect of sustaining the Funds, which have consequently experienced but little change. For commercial purposes money has been comparatively easy, the rates of discount on first class paper ruling from 34 to 32 per cent., and the Foreign Exchanges showing but little alteration. The Bank returns on Friday show a decline in the stock of bullion to the extent of £684,744, caused partly by the payment of the dividends, and partly by the exports of gold to the Continent, which have since almost ceased, and which will be more than compensated by the subsequent large arrivals of specie. The large decrease in " other deposits" is no doubt attributable to the payment of deposits for the loan. The business in Manchester during the week has been but limited, and prices have slightly declined ; but as many of the mills are now working short time, it is not anticipated that prices will go lower. In the Woollen trade there is little change to note : the manufacturers are very short of stock, and are working to order, while the supply of the raw material is more abundant. The returns of the Board of Trade for the month ended the 30th of June, which have just been pub lished., show rather a large falling off, though not so great as might, perhaps, have been anticipated, consi dering the recent dulness of trade, and the large amount of business done during the month with which the comparison is made. In the declared value of British exports the decrease is £578,718, of which the principal items are Woollen manufactures ................... £239,623 Metals Hardwares and Cutlery ........, ...... 105,124 Cotton yarn Haberdashery Silk manufactures. 44,960 On the other hand, there are several items which show an increase, of which the fallowing are the principal:— Coals and Calm ............ ............

MANCHESTER. — The improvement in the market last week has subsided, and there is a gradual return to the dulness previously existing. The adoption of short time, to be inau gurated at Blackburn, is expected to bring about a state of things more favourable to the producer, and there is no desire to sell at the rates which must at present be considered the current prices. Yarns are not readily saleable at last week's prices, and the foreign houses are doing considerably less business. For India some inquiry is still maintained, and prices are but little changed ; but for this, the Mediterranean and the German markets there is less doing. Warps and cops for home manufacture are less inquired for, and lower rates are being accepted. Goods were inquired for at the early part of the week, but there is now less doing again. The Greek houses are not such extensive purchasers, though they still continue their operations—confining them, however, to goods in stock and not for future delivery.—Manchester Courier. ROCHDALE. — A good demand for flannels of all sorts, and prices generally may be quoted a shade higher. Good demand for wool, and prices rather higher. HUDDERSFIELD. — The market has been very dull. Wool quiet. Buyers in the market from Leeds and Manchester. Irish buyers are looking for lower prices. LEEDS.—The demand for goods keeps pace with the supply, and in consequence the markets were brisk at the Cloth-halls. The stocks being reduced low in the clothiers' hands, prices are rather inclined upwards, and the mills continue in active operation. Business is quite as brisk in the warehouses as usual at this season for the home trade, and there has been some little improvement in the export trade this week. BRADFORD.—WooI : The supply of all kinds of combing wool is now greater than for a long time past, and the spinners generally in good stock. The sales making are meagre, the staplers seeking prices that deter sales being made. Noils and brokes are steady sale, but have not participated in the advance of long wool. Yarns : The spinners, though generally working to order, are by no means doing well, as the orders were given prior to the advance. The current rates are only realised on new orders, which are not freely given ; and with wool at the prices now sought, the ekecution of old contracts is attended with decided loss. Pieces : The manufacturers are lower in stock than for many years, and are chiefly working to order . There is no probability of increased s u pplie s , f or th e przces at which goods are yet selling leave no hope for the looms being employed, without decided ease in the worsted and cotton yarns, of which there is not the slightest hope. LEMESTER.—Trade continues about as last reported. No change in the price of material. NOTTINGHAM.—With few exceptions, there is not much doing in lace, yet what is being done is on a healthy founda tion, as there is not much more being produced than is made to order. A little more activity in hosiery goods, chiefly of the better class, for the home trade. No change in the price of yarn. LATEST NEWS. THE pTAR. The Moniteur of Sunday publishes the following : A despatch from the Crimea, dated July 27, 11 p.m., announces to the Minister of War that the Phlegethon had arrived at Kamiesch, bringing French prisoners, exchanged at Odessa against Russian prisoners, which this steamer had taken on board at Constantinople. The exchange of prisoners of war is to be continued. The French officers speak in high terms of the manner in which they were treated by the Russians. The despatch concludes with these words—" Nothing new has occurred before the place." The Semaphore, of the 24th instant, mentions the arrival at Marseilles on the 23rd of 500 men of the 6th Begiment of the Line, and 500 of the 9th. The packet Indus sailed on the 23rd for the East, with 650 soldiers belonging to the different corps ; and the Athenian and Golden Gate, with 125 artillery men and 122 horses. The four-masted steamer City of Man chester, which was then loading 300 horses and an immense quantity of projectiles, was to clear out for the Crimea on the 25th, and to take in tow the clipper Balance. BY ELECTRIC & INTERNATIONAL TELEGRAPHS.] LONDON, Monday Night. POLICE CommissioN.—Evidence was given by several gentlemen to-day in favour of the police.—At the Guildhall Police-court to-day, Davidson, Gordon, and Cole were fully committed for fraud. THE WAR. (The Times' correspondents' letters, to the 17th inclusive, have arrived :—" There was heavy rain on the 15th. The Russians made a sortie against the French on the 14th : the Russians were repulsed. The French works are so close to the abattis of the Malakhoff, that a man may throw a stone into it. The abattis is described as truly formidable :it is formed of trunks of oak and beech from the woods of the Crimea, and is more than six feet high. Before making a fresh assault attempts will be made to destroy it. The Rua. sians are still at work on the position, and are also repairing theßedan. The exchange of shot and'shell is almost incessant. The French are very sangine of their ability to reach the shipping from their new battery at the White Works, and the Russians seem to be afraid, and fire constantly into the works. There is but little sickness in the Allied camp. The British wanted mattresses for the wounded. On the night of the 16th there was a sortie from the Malakhoff, during a pouring rain. It lasted about a quarter of an hour. The French talk of all being ready for another assault in about a fortnight." DESPATCHES FROM GENERAL SIMPSON. The Gazette contains despatches from General Simpson, dated 17th, with enclosures from Lieut.-Colonel Campbell, of the 9th Foot, and Colonel Shirley, of the 88th Foot, also the weekly medical report. Siege operation; were steadily progressing. On the night of the 16th, the Russians made a sortie on the right of the French works, in front of the Mamelon. The cannonade and fire of musketry was exceedingly heavy. General Simpson regrets the loss of Captain R. A. Frazer, 42nd Highlanders, killed in the trenches. There had been an increase of fever cases, but a marked decrease in both the frequency and severity of bowel affections. Lieut.-Colonel Campbell's first letter refers to his own per sonal services, and a second to those of a party of the 55th in the capture of the Quarries, on the night of the 7th of June. He shows that he not only commanded the storming party, but, having been twice wounded, he retained the sole command in the Quarries, during the whole night, until relieved at 7 a.m. on the Bth, and respecting which affair there appears to have been some omission in the late Lord Raglan's despatch. General Simpson writes with regard to Lieut.-Colonel Campbell's own services : He finds, upon enquiry, that the charge of holding the Quarries was confided to that officer after he had led the assault, and was a separate command from that of Colonel Shirley, who acted as General of the day in the trenches of the right attack.

The favourable change in the weather had a good effect on English Funds, and Consols rallied per cent. In Railways heavy stocks were affected by a pressure of sales. Great Western, London and North Western, Midland, and Lanca shire show a decline; Great Northern and Brighton are, how ever, a degree better. Land and Bank Shares are supported, and show an upward tendency. Foreign securities are generally firm. CLOSING PRICES. Console, Account 9l* /Bank Stock 214 15 Do. Money — Exqr.

THE claim preferred by Sir James Carnegie to the titles, honours, and dignities of Earl of Southesk and Baron Carnegie, of Kinnaird and 'Anchors, in Scotland, has been allowed by the house of Lords. _ _ _ _ _ THEIR Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cam bridge, with a distinguished party, visited the Crystal Palace on Wednesday afternoon. Their royal highnesses dined in the Pompeian Court, and remained in the palace till a late hour. TICE King of the Belgians, accompanied by the Count of Flanders and the Princess Charlotte of Belgium, left England on Monday, to return to the continent. Her Majesty and Prince Albert accompanied his Majesty to Portsmouth. AT six o'clock on the evening of the 25th, Her Majesty came up to Spithead from Osborne in the Fairy steam yacht, and made direct for the Melbourne, running close to that vessel and round her several times at slow speed. The invalids crowded on the upper works and rigging of the ship, and, apparently from the shore, greeted Her Majesty with hearty cheers in return for her solicitude towards them. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO B.A.Lasone.L.—The Queen is ex pected to pay her autumn visit to Balmoral about the middle of Sept., and to remain until the 10th or 12th of Oct. A por tion of the new palace will be ready for Her Majesty, and will be occupied during the present visit. There is some expecta tion that the Queen will pay a visit to Lord Panmure, whose principal seat, near Arbroath, is within half a day's journey of Balmoral. A ROYAL MARBIAGB.—The Prince Adalbert of Bavaria, whose approaching union with a Spanish princess is announced from Madrid, is younger brother of King Otho, and first in the order of succession to the crown of Greece. The lady is cousin of Queen Isabella. The marriage has been long pro jected, but delayed by difficulties of a religious origin. The next King of Greece must, as at present arranged, undertake to educate his children in the principles of the Greek Church, whereas the royal families of Bavaria and Spain, as is well known, are Romanist. It would appear that this obstacle has been surmounted. TICE QUEEN or ENGLAND'S VISIT TO FRANCE.—It has been arranged that the Queen of England will arrive in Paris by the Strasburg Railway, the approaches to the northern rail way station, in the Place Lafayette, being crooked, narrow, ugly, and inconvenient. On reaching La Chapelle the royal train will branch off by the Chemin de Fer de Ceinture ; and, in order to spare her Majesty the unseemly annoyance of being turned round in her carriage on a turnplate, the directors of the Northern and Strasburg Companies have re solved to lay down some additional rails, so that the train may glide from one line to another imperceptibly, and proceed direct to the Strasburg-station, which is one of the handsomest in the world. Her Majesty will then make her triumphal entry into Paris by the magnificent new street called the Boulevard de Strasburg, and will pursue the boulevards proper to the Madeleine, entering the Tuileries by the Place de la Concorde. The Strasburg Company has voted 20,000 f. for decorations and extraordinary expenses on the occasion of the expected royal visit. TItE screw-steamer Lebanon, Captain T. Cook, belonging to Messrs.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—Last night, John Kilburn, shop-boy to Mr. Joseph Sewell, of South Castle-street, was seriously wounded in the jaw, by a pistol discharged by Mr. Sewell's son, who was not aware of its being loaded. Kilburn was immediately taken to the Northern Hospital, and is pro gressing fav ourably. CHILD MunnEn.—An inquest was held before the Borough Coroner, on Saturday, on the body of a new-born male child, which had been found that morning in an ashpit, in Jane street, Ashfield-street. It had been born alive : and death had , been caused by suffocation, a piece of coal having been forced down its throat. A verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown" was returned. HEALTH COMMITTEE.---Mr. Alderman Langsdale pre sided at the weekly meeting of the Health Committee, on Thursday, when the medical officer reported that the health of the town continued in the same satisfactory state as re corded since the beginning of ,Tune. The total deaths last week were 182, while the corrected average of the same week of the preceding seven years was 225. In the parish 116 deaths were registered, and in the out-townships 66. 50 deaths were .caused by diseases of the zymotic class ; of these, 14 were from diarhcea, the average being 21. Of the total deaths, 115 were children, and 67 adults. The minutes of the Smoke Prevention Committee were read, showing the measures which had been taken for the suppression of the smoke nui sance.

THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY'S MEETING AT CARLISLE.—The public show of cattle and implements under the auspices of this society was opened on Wednesday, the exhibition continuing on Thursday and Friday. On the first day the price of admission to the cattle show was ten shillings, and that of implements five shillings, and on that day, not withstanding the extreme wetness of the weather, 1400 per sons paid for admission to the shows. On Thursday the admission to both was half-a-crown, and on that day 14,600 individuals paid that sum for admission. On Friday the admission fee was lowered to one shilling, and the extensive show-ground was crowded from morning till night. As a whole, the show of implements and cattle was excellent, every thing shown being really good of its class and kind. The implements were chiefly of a useful kind, nothing commonplace or indifferent being presented. The cattle also were select in quality as well as numerous. Among the prize holders, Mr. Charles Townley, of Townley-park, Burnley, Lancashire, obtained four prizes for short-horns ; and three animals of the same breed highly commended. Mr. John Harrison, jun., of Heaton Norris, Stockport, a prize of £lO, for a sow of large breed; and Mrs. Thomas Townley Parker, of Astley-hall, Chorley,. Lancashire, a prize of £2, for a Dor king fowl. Lord Berwick, of Cronkill, near Shrewsbury, a first prize, for Herefords. Lord Viscount Hill, of Hawkstone, near Shrewsbury, had a bull calf and a yearling heifer, of the short-horn breed, commended. On Thursday afternoon, the annual dinner of the society took place; W. Miles, Esq.,M.P., president, in the chair. About eight hundred gentlemen sat down to a sumptuous banquet; after the conclusion of which the usual routine of toasts, prefased by speeches, were given. The trials of reaping machines not having been satisfactory, the competition was adjourned for a week or two. The Society holds its next annual meeting at Chelmsford, in Essex. Sin B. HALL was, on Saturday, re-elected M.P. for Mary lebone without opposition. REPRESENTATION OF SOUTHWARK.—Sir William Moles worth was re-elected on Friday without any real opposition, a Mr. J.

COTTON.—The market during the week has shown but little animation, and prices have declined about per lb. on fair qualities. This is owing partly to the decline in the manufacturing trade, and partly to the accounts from America of better supplies and falling prices. The sales for the week up to Friday amounted to 34,670 'bales, of which 3,690 were taken on speculation, and g,820 for export, leaving 28,160 for the trade. TO -DAY, the advices by the America were received, and the effect was rather favourable than otherwise, the sales having readied MOO bales, including 1,500 for speculation and export., and the market closed steadily.

LIMITED LIABILITY. The house then went into committee on the Limited Lia bility Bill, when the discussion on - Mr. Williams' amendment in clause 1, for having the shares as low as £3, was resumed. After some debate, Mr. BOUVERIE consented to make the shares £lO, one half to be paid up, and Mr. Williams .consequently withdrew his amendment. Mr. CAIRNS then moved an amendment, having relation to the form of registration. Mr. BOUVERIE opposed the amendment, and, upon a divi sion, there appeared— For the amendment Against Majority against . ....... —l2. Mr. CAIRNS then moved to leave out the words of the clause providing for the payment of a certain amount of capital, before it should be entitled to be registered under the bill. 27 After a brief debate the amendment was withdrawn. Mr. GURNEY then proposed that 50 per cent. should be required to be paid up, to entitle a company to the privilege of the bill. Mr. BOUVERIE thought that 25 per cent. would be sufficient. The amendment being withdrawn, the clause as amended was agreed to. Clauses 2,3, 4,5, and 6 were agreed to, with amendments. On clause 7, Mr. CARDWELL proposed an addition to the effect that, when a company had obtained a certificate of limited liability, every person holding, or having within a given period held a share in such a company, should be liable to pay the debts of the company to an amount equal to, but not exceeding the nominal value of the greatest number of shares. held by him at any one time within one year previous to the date of the judgment order under which the liability was sought to be enforced. Mr. Lows contended that the proviso was in direct opposi tion to the principle of the bill. Mr. BOUVERIE also opposed it, on the ground that its result would be to cause credit to be unduly given to these companies beyond what their capital would justify. After speeches from :Mr. Cairns for, and Lord Goderich and Mr. Malins against, the amendment, the committee divided. For the amendment Against Majority against The clause was agreed to., Progress was then reported. The House was then summoned to the House of Lords, tc hear the royal assent given by commission to several public and private bills. On the Speaker's return, the house adjourned at 4 o'clock till 6. The house resumed at 6 o'clock. Lord Hoxltent asked Lord Palmerston whether Sir John M c Neill and Colonel Tulloch, sent as commissioners to enquire into certain matters connected with the army in the Crimea, had returned to this country, whether they had made a report, and whether their report would be laid before the house ? Lord PALMERSTON replied that the report of these gentle men had been made, and the changes it recommended had been attended with great advantage to the public service ; but it was of a confidential character, for the guidance of the government, and therefore it would not be produced. In reply to Mr. Locke, Mr. WILSON stated that Sir Charles Eastlake had been nominated by Lord Aberdeen to the Directorship of the National Gallery, and his nomination had been confirmed by the present government. A Treasury minute would be published to-morrow explanatory of the whole arrangement, and stating further the salary attached to the offiet. Mr. PEEL, in reply to Lord Goderich, stated that it was intended to constitute an Italian Legion. Lord PALMERSTON said there were reasons, which he should _ not dwell upon, that rendered it very desirable that the ses sion should be closed somewhere about the 14th or 15th of August. There were a great many votes of supply yet to be taken, and it was impossible to state how long the discussions upon the motions before going into supply would take. He, therefore, appealed to the hon. gentlemen not to press those 'notions, and moved that to-morrow the orders of the day should have precedence of notices of motion, with the view of going into supply. After a few words from Lord C. Manners, Colonel Dunne, and several other members who had given notice of motions, it was agreed to give up. their precedence. Mr. OTWAY inquired when the Indian Budget would be ' introduced. Mr. V. SMITH replied he would bring it on to-morrow week, provided the supply was then closed. If the supply was not closed by that time, another day must be appointed. Lord Palmerston's motion was then agreed to. On the motion for going into a Committee of Supply, Admiral WALCOTT moved for a copy of a minute by the Board of Admiralty, of July 2nd, 1846, relating to the opinion of the Board as to the claims of certain officers to be recom mended for the honour of the Bath, who had highly distin guished themselves against pirates. The motion led to a long and desultory discussion, in which numerous complaints were made as to the distribution of rewards and honours, and of the system of promotion both in the navy and army. The motion was eventually negatived without a division. SCOTCH PAROCHIAL SCHOOLMASTERS. Mr. G. LOCKHART then called the attention of the house - to the serious inconvenience that would arise from the act for regulating the salaries of the Parochial Schoolmasters of. Scotland being allowed to expire without any further pro vision being proposed by government to meet the extreme urgency of the case. Mr. PELLATT next moved an address, praying the Queen to remedy the grievances sustained by sergeants in the army, who are deprived of good conduct money allowances whilst serving, to which they were entitled previous to their pro motion. The LORD ADVOCATE said he had proposed a measure which would have raised the salaries of the schoolmasters, but the bill had been thrown out in another place. He there fore declined dealing with this question by a temporary act now, especially as the whole subject must be dealt with next session ; besides, there was no necessity for passing a temporary act, as the salaries of the schoolmasters would not expire until next Witsuntide, and he hoped the interval would aftbrd time for reflection upon the subject. Mr. SCOTT complained of this course, on the ground that it made the schoolmasters the victims of the educational squab bles of the two Houses of Parliament, and of the uncalled-for and erroneous legislation of the Lord Advocate. SUPPLY. The house then went into committee of supply, when, Mr. WISE suggested that the estimates, instead of being discussed at different periods, should be brought forward at one time, and at an earlier period of the session, so that every member might have an opportunity of being present at their discussion. Mr. WILSON having replied, the following sums were, after discussion, voted : —23,858 for the expenses of the London University ; £7,952 for the Scottish U n i vers iti es; £2,366 f or the Queen's University, in Ireland ; £9,352 for the Queen's College, in Ireland; £647 for the Royal Irish Academy; £3OO for the Royal Hibernian Academy. On the motion that £2,600 be granted for Theological pro fessors at Belfast, and for incidental expenses of the General Assembly's College, at Belfast, Mr. MIA.LL moved that this vote be reduced by £2,050 t on the ground that the state ought not to support the religions - ttheaamethrti.hnceglvoiofßtaNenswyaasdnedenxmocmersi.sniciavtlaißoinKn relationwdeh f ate. end v e e d r t 0 t ht eh H ev wo e t eo a l r. k s o d contended After some conversation, the committee divided— For Mr. Miall's motion 29 Against it .

On the motion that £38,953 be granted f or th e expenses of Nonconformist Ministers in Ireland, Mr. WILLIAMS moved that the sum be reduced to £366. After a long debate the committee divided— For the vote 96 Against it... Majority for —64. Mr. CREETTIAM then moved to reduce the vote by £415, being the amount applied to six new congregations. After a brief debate the committee divided— For Mr. Cheetham's motion Against it. .. 86 Majority against —so. The whole vote was then agreed to. After a few more votes had been taken, the Chairman re ported progress, and obtained leave to sit again to-morrow. The report on the Turkish Loan Bill was brought up, and the bill ordered to be read the third time to-morrow. Mr. H. BERKELEY moved the second reading of the Sale of Beer Bill. Mr. Hommel'', protested against the motion, on the ground that the bill was founded on ex parte evidence. After some observations from Mr. Brady, Mr. I. Butt, and Mr. Cobbett, the bill was read a second time. The remaining clauses of the Limited Liability Bill were passed through committee. In reply to Mr. Spooner, Mr. BOUVERIE stated that the Partnership Amendment Bill would not' be proceeded with this session. Some amendments would be introduced in it, and the bill be reprinted for circulation during the recess. . The other orders were then disposed of, and the house a4journed at 1.42 a.m. -63 REINFORCEMENTS are arriving, or on their way, and are fullTThe e warllast st strength;sisixteen leaving the shores of Great Britain daily in hundreds, and often in thousands at a time.

The artillery arm of the British service is the most complete of all. * * * * We have of f ' the authority of an English officer of high rank, just returned only for a few days on the business of the war, for stating that the Turkish contingent of the British army, now encamped at Buykdere, on the Bosphorus, is composed of the finest troops he ever saw. They already amount to 14,000 men. They are flocking in by hundreds from all sides to the British standard, where they are well lodged, fed, clothed, and armed. They will soon be at their full number of 20,000, when they will be able to take the field under the Commander-in-Chief of the British army, to which they will belong. We may add to our other encouraging information, which it is useful to publish in contradiction of the Russian stories that are everywhere thrust down our throats, that there are no fears entertained for the safety of the Turkish armies in Asia Minor."—Observer. • THE JEWS AT JERUSALEM.--Sir Moses Montefiore is the bearer to the Jews at Jerusalem of a subscription amounting a firman to 3,000,000 f. or 4,000,000 f.
