TER second meeting o the recentfr-elected Improvement Commissioners was held on Thursday last, its the board-room. The chair was occupied by Mr. John Marsh, besides whom there were also present Messrs. Arratt, Thompson, Hadley, 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. M`Manus, 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. M'Manus 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 thin 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 foe 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 surveyo; recommended the construction of lublic baths, chiefly for the accommodation of the workmen employed at the numerous chemical works, foundry works, glass 'corks, and coal mines in and about the town. Several sites 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 tompany might do so with advantage, as shares at £3 or £5 Taal would be speedily taken up, to an extent fully ample for' he erection of the building, and the carrying out of the plan. Thiswas gene rally looked on as a step in theright 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. [lt is to be hoped the commissioners willturn to profitable public account the zealous and judiciourservices of an officer who gives 'such umnistakeatle 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 ~o n by the commissioners , ; and 'that through these means 'the frightful visitation of - diatease which last year afflicted the inhabitants, may , be 6ided.] DOCK TRUSTEES.—FIVC hock Trustees will have to 'be 'ected to-morrow. Messrs. Rankin, Palmer, Evans, t,std ; 'Barber, retire by rotation. THE ANN UAL FEXE of tho Licensed Victuallers' Association is to take place on 'Thursday, at Eastham. Mr- J. A. Tobin, the mayor, will pmide at ' , ehe soiree, which will be followed by a ball. _ _ THE CHILDREN belonoiug to the Infant Ragged School, in Thomas-street., were taken on Friday to the new .park, ad joining the Botane 'Gardens, where they partook of •bans and milk, &c., and eoyed themselves very much. THE BANK 01 LIVEEPOOL.—The annual meeting as held on Wednesday. A dividend at the rate of 8 per -cent. per annum was deeared, With the addition of a bonns , of 15s. per share. MODEL OF SEBASTOPOL.—This interesting -model con tinues to attract numerous spectators, all of whom exhibit the most livdy interest in the explicit lecture..given on the subject by Ar. Houkt, in the course of his exhibition of the model. Thl interen is still further enhanced by the carriage of Prince Nenscliikdit taken by the English - after the battle of Alma. Mn. BnLNCIIIE . -SIZE of valuable property,.in the cause of Holmes r Holmes, was numerously attended on Friday at the Clarendon-rooms, and after spirited competition the first lot, a warhouse - in the Goree, produced £3,800; the second lot, anotier warehouse adjoining, produced £3,550; lot 3, a warehoue anct•.appurtenances in Harrington-street, sold for £1,650 ; lot 4, a•warehouse in Temple-street, £4,303 ; and the remainhg two. lots, houses, &c., in Mount-pleasant, brought £1,045. A:ll•the property was sold. imr)ovEnnivintwni SHIPPING TRADE.—Messrs. Curry and Cc report:an improved feeling o.mongstlbuyers of ships, as divinyed at their sale on Thursday, and-subsequently by privab treaty. At auction six ships were •oft'ered, five of whicl realised 'full prices; and amongst the transactions of the ay, by . private, the screw-steamer Antelope (recently en gagd in the Australian trade, and entered on Friday for Baliklava,) Changed hands, besides same Other steamers and tug-boats required principally for the east. . - itESTILICITONS ON THE EXPORTATION OF IgtON.—A depu tation, consisting of Mr. Philip Williams, Chairman of the Staffo;dshiralronmasters, Mr. W. Routh, aril Mr. T. Bagnall, and accompanied by Mr. Horsfall, M.P. for Liverpool; Mr. J. Ewart, M.P.; Mr. Thornely, M.P. for Wolverhampton ; Mr. Hadfield, M.P. for Sheffield ; Mr. W. Bird, Mr. Walker, Mr. Beale, and Mr. Clay, had an interview on Thursday with Lord Palmerston, at the House of Commons, on the subject of the restrictions placed on the exportation of: iron. The deputation was introduced by Mr. Horsfall. MAILS BY_ THE RED JACKET.—A contemporary of Thurs day speaks of the heavy mails biiught by the Red Jacket, and says that they contained " 8000 letters alone.;" but the fact is, the Red Jacket brought about 45,100 letters and newspapers —upwards 4of 20,000 being letters. Of this prodigious num ber, received at the Liverpool Postnffice:at 5 p.m. on Wed-, nesday, scarcely one remained in Livlrpool at noon the next day, all having been sent to their declinations. The Ligtt ning brought, we believe, upwards of 10C,000 letters and newspapers. A San ST6RY.—The following Palau-base .was investigated before the .Borough Coroner on Thursday: —On Tuesday a " row" toOk.place in Henry Edward-stret l in the course of which a man named Samuel Armstrong vas severely beaten by some of :his neighbours, He ran into 'tie- top story of a house, No. 37, in which he lodged, and at ue time, fearing that his foes.were following him, he made ansttempt to jump through -the window, but was prevented b 3 kis wife, who, fearful that he would break some of the glas, which they could not afford to pay for, took out the botto u part of the window, and,placed it against the wall. [ln Us room there were no less than three beds; in one of them Amstrong, his wife, and a baby slept, a married couple occupied innther, and the third belonged to the mistress of the housq Shortly afterwards, under the influence of terror, ArrosVeng made another rush at the window, and this time he.su c eeded in his object. }lt jumped through the window, and facing with immense force to the ground, he fractured his thgh, and otherwise severely injured himself. He was .conveyer to the Northern Hospital, where he now lies in a dangerm condi tion. His wife, after seeing her husband located:in he hos pital, remembered that she had left her child in the bet , vom. She rushed back, but no child could be seen. Atlength,Xter a most painful search, the poor infant was found . dead h the bed, having been suffocated between the clothes and the vall of the room, against which the bed (which was on-the finr) was placed. A FANATIC ON ;THE EXCHANGE FLAGS.—John `S. Or, who in America, and more recently in Scotland, has. obtaind some unenviable notoriety by his fanaticism, and his.kapioti assumption of the name of the " Angel Gabriel," has made ai appearance in Liverpool, previous, it is said, to his departure s for the West Indies. Hunted from Edinburgh, where he appeared last week ix: the character of suitor for damages against the Fiscal Mr. M'Callum, for false imprisonment, -he on Sunday experimented on the Exchange flags. About half past three o'clock, a large concourse had assembled in the Exchange area, when Orr appeared, attended by two or three persons who have, it appears, undertaken to see him safely out of Britain. He is a dark-looking little man, of about forty years of age, and by no means suggests, in his appearance, the popular ideal of a spiritual being. He carried in his hand a long brass trumpet, and ,wore a black glazed hat, bearing on a gilt band the inscription, "Rule Britannia—Hail Co lumbia—Down with the Mother of Abominations." Sur mounting this initription was a representation of the Ame rican eagle. The strangenessof his appearance soon attracted a crowd of beholders, composed principally of dock labourers, and others to whom the distinct declaration of opinion set forth on his head-dress was not peculiarly tasteful. He com menced an address on " Freedom of Thought," which com pletely redeemed its title. There w.as a total absence of lily thing like thought; and the address, whilst he continued, was a rambling and disjointed tirade against the established order of things. Perceiving that the feeling of the crowd against him was advancing, from almost indistinct murmurs of disapproval, to open and undisguised -tokens of opposition, he adopted the discretionary course which is described as " the better part of valour," and prevented a row by seeking refuge in a Hanson. ELOPEMENT.—On Tuesday week, a glassman, named Chris topher Mustard, manager in Fenwick and Co.'s bottle-works, Bishop Wearmouth, left his wife and family,.aod eloped with a keelman's wife, known as " Dandy Hannah." The couple were traced to having left Newcastle by the Cirlisle Railway, en route for Liverpool, whence they intended to emigrate to America. On Friday last, Sergeant M'lntre, an active and intelligent officer of the Sunderland police, was despatched after them with a warrant for the apprehension of Mustard. On arriving at Liverpool, he found that there were six different emigrant vessels about to sail for New Yolk. He, therefore, obtained the assistance of a Liverpool detective-officer. They went on board each of the ships in prosecuion of their search, but without success; the fugitives could rot be found. Learn ing afterwards that an American vessel the Emerald Isle, commanded by Capt, Corniss, had sailed that day with emi grants for New York, the officers then hied a steam-boat, and went out to sea in pursuit of her. Alta thirty miles from land they overtook and boarded the Enerald Isle; and, sure enough, here was found poor Chiistopltr Mustard and his (?) lady standing on the quarter deck, the varrant presented, and the prisoner, pale and trembling, sectred. The lady seemed afraid also of being left alone on board the vessel. She went below crying very much, brought up tie family hammock, and threw it on board the steam-boat vhich had brought the officers. The prisoner went down biow to get his chests un loosed ; but he shortly afterwards returned to the deck with a brightened countenance, the capain following him, and ordering the officers to quit the shb. " Quit the ship ! aye, but with the prisoner. The captah surely would not en courage such immorality. The nan had abandoned his wife and family." The captain thought that was not his affair. Was Mustard willing to return to England or would he go to America? if Mustard :—" I will cer tainly not leave the vessel, rou (the captain) will protect me."—The captain (in the voicellf a Stentor, only shriller, from the strong Yankeeisn of his dialect) : " Then, as I am an American, I will prottct you. I sail under the American flag, I am now on the sigh seas, and I'm blest if there's a law in England can touch t hair of your head while you sail under the stripes and stars of the States." Reasoning against this was beyond quastion. Can any of our lawyers tell us whether the captain is " blesi ?" Suffice it, the officers thought their warrant had no jurisdetiop; if it had, it would apparently have mattered little; aid, aceorxlingly, they left the vessel, and returned homewards the fugitives proceeding on their voyage, under the protectim of " the grPat RepOlic." —Stockton Mercury, THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. 0 OMMERCIAL and MONETARY NEWS MONDAY NIGHT. IF the price of the Public Funds during the week were to be taken as a test of the condition of the 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 fro m 31 to 31 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 IVlandiester 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 Vivre 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 retuisris of the Board of Trade for the month ended the Wth of June, which have just been pub lished, show rather a large failing 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 BrifiSh exports the decrease is £578,718, of which the piinoi k pal items are : Woollen manufactures Metals Hardwares and Cutlery Cotton yarn Haberdashery Silk manufactures `On the other ham/there are several items , which show an increase, of which the following arethe Coals and Ctilm V68;734 Woollen yarn Oil and Seeds Linen manufactures - 1 29,285 Cotton manufactures s Upon the first six months of the year 'ihe falling off in exports is £1,489,800. In the return of quantities of imported commodities retained for home consumption, it will be seen by the following table that there is a slight increase in Wheat and Flour, as well as in Wines and Spirits, but a decrease in almost everything else-:- 1854.

COTTON.—The market during the week has shown but little animation, and prices have declined about f i d. 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 2,820 for export, leaving 28,160 for the trade. TO -DAY, the advices by the America were received, and the effect was rather favourable ban otherwise, thf sales having reached 8000 bales, 'Winding 1,500 for speculation and export, ,and the market closed steadily.

So far, they are proceeding very satisfactorily, and the late improved rates are well supported. The imports for the week are 1,714 bales, consisting of 1,306 Australian, 160 bales East India, 54 Iceland, 22 Mediterranean, 76 United States, 11 Dutch, 64 Irish, 1,714 bales. 6 Scotch, and 15 coastwise ; total, MsTALs,—Scotch Pik Iron has recovered the slight depression of last week, and may be quoted to-day at 745.

Ti n Plates much wanted, at advanced prices. MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES. MASCITESTM — 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. HIJDDERsFIELD.—The market has been very dull. Wool quiet. Buyers in the market from Leeds and Manchester. Irish buyers are looking for lower prices. LEEns.—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 glven 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 execution 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 supplies, for the prices 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. LEICESTER.—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. COURT AND FASHION. MR. ROBERT LOWE 'has been offered, and accepted, the cflice of the President 'of the Board of Works.—The Press. THE CABINET COO EVIL sat two hours on Saturday. The :Morning Post says the termination of the session will, of course, depend upon the progress of business. At present it is not likely the session will close before Thdrsday, August 16. MR. WILLIAM ORD, who for nearly 515 years represented Northumberland constituencies, as M.P. for Morpeth, and, after the passing 'of the Reform Bill, Newcastle-on-Tyne, died at his seat, ViThitefield-hall, on Wednesday, in the 75th year of his age. THE claim Treferred . by Sir James Carnegie to the titles, honours, andlignities of Earl of Southesk and Baron Carnegie, of Kinnairdnnd Leuchars, 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. THE Sing 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 la 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 •BLIMORAL.—The Queen is ex pected to pay her autumn visit to Balmoral about the middle of Sept., and to remain until tke 10th or 12th of Oct. A por tion of the new palace will be wady 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 MAIMUGE.—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, bnt delayed by difficulties of a religious origin. The next King of Greece must r 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. Itlvould appear that this , Obstacle has . been surmounted. THE QUEEN OF ENGLANDIS VISIT TO FRANCE.—It hag been Aarranged 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 mill pursue the boulevards proper to the Madeleine, entering the Tuileries by the Place de la Concorde. The Strasburg Company has voted 20 1 000 f. for decorations and extraordinary.expenses on the occasion of ,the expected royal Tisk. THE screw-steamer Lebanon, Captain T. Cook, belonging to Messrs. Inver and Co,, leaves Liverpool for New York to-day. SERIOUS AGCIDENT.—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 favourably. CHILD MURDER.—An inquest was held before the Borough Coroner, on, Saturday, on the body of a new-born male child, whichshad been found that morning 'in an ashpit, in Jane street, Ashfield-street. It had been bornidive : 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 June. The total deaths last week werel62, 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. 60 deaths were caused by diseases of the zymotic class ; of these, 14 were from diarinea, the average being 21. Of the total deaths, 115 were children, and 6.7 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. It appeared that Mr. Fairbairn is to receive a sum of 100 guineas for tis Aervices in connection with the measures being carried out .by the committee for doing away with the nuisance from smoke.

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, f or a Dor king fowl.

The Alexandre, which left Constantinople on the 10th of July, has arrived. . The advices from the Crimea are to the 17th. The Alexandre has brought 66 wounded. A regiment of Lancers has arrived for embarcation. The Moniteur of Sunday publishes the following :7 A despatch from the Crimea, dated July 27, 11 p.m., announces to the Minister of War that the Phlggethon 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 Rus 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 he 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 operations 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. Return of casualties from 13th to 15th July inclusive : killed, four rank and file ; wounded, Captain T. Roper, 47th, slightly, and 34 rank and file. Return of casualties in Naval Brigade on the 13th and 15th July : killed 1; wounded, 1. THE FUNDS, STOCK, AND SHARE MARKET. 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 Consols, Account 9l* Bank Stock 214 15 Do. Money — Exqr.

After a speech from the Lord Chancellor the subject dropped. The Dissenters' Marriages Bill was reported, with a variety of amendments. Other orders having been disposed of, the house adjourned at 7.20 p.m. HOUSE OF COMMONS. TUESDAY. The house met at one o'clock. W. Molesworth and Sir B. Hall took the oaths and their seats respectively, upon re-election for Southwark and Marylebone. _ LIMITED LIABILITY. The house then went into committ ee on the Limited Lia bility ill 1, for ,wh having the enthediscu hsssioanreos as on Mr. Willia ms ' amen d men t in clause low as £6, was resumed. 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 27 Against 39 Majority against ....... 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. 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. BOUVEBIE 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. CanDwELL 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. LOWE 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. Mathis against, the amendment, the committee divided. For the amendment l5 Against -63 Majority against The clause was agreed to. Progress was then reported. The House was then summoned to the House of Lords, to 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 HOTIIAM asked Lord Palmerston whether Sir John M`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. WiLsorc 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 office. Mr. PEEL, in reply to Lord Goderich, stated that it was intended to constitute an Italian Legion. Lord Pe.rainasroN 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 motions, 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 m em b ers w h o h a d 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 W.A.LcoTT 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 necessi t y f or pass i ng a temporary act, as the salaries of the schoolmasters would not expire until next Witsuntide, and he hoped the interval would afford 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:—£3,BsB for the expenses of the London University ; £7,952 for the Scottish Universities ; £2,366 for 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 22,600 be granted for Theological pro fessors at Belfast, and for incidental expenses of the General Assembly's College, at Belfast, Mr. Mum, moved that this vote be reduced by £2,050, on the ground that the state ought not to support the religious teaching of any denomination whatever. He also contended that the vote was excessive in relation to the work done. Mr. CAIRNS and Mr. KIRK defended the vote. After some conversation, the committee divided— For Mr. Miall's motion. 29 Against it .. . Majority against —4B The next votes agreed to were—£lo,ooo for the National Gallery; £4,000 for purchases from the Bernal Collection; £27,000 for new buildings connected with the British Museum ; £5OO for the Geographical Society ; £6,409 for magnetic observations ; £2,525 for Public Infirmaries in Ireland; £1,295 for the Foundling Hospital in Dublin ; £11,215 for the Dublin Hospitals; £5OO for the Dublin Lying-in Hospi tal ; £795 for Doctor Stevens' Hospital in Dublin. On the motion that £38,953 be granted for the 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. CHEETHAM 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 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. NORSFALL 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. BOUVEItIE 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 adjourned at 1.42 a.m. REINFORCEMENTS are arriving, or on their way, and are leaving the shores of Great Britain daily in hundreds, and often in thousands at a time. Our Infantry comprised, when we last enumerated them, in the spring, 44 b a tt a li ons. They have since been joined by 16 battalions more, making 60 re giments of foot. If they are not all at their full war strength, it is undeniable that many of them are. The last sixteen regiments arrived in the Crimea, chiefly from Athens, Corfu, Malta, and Gibraltar were a t th e f u ll strength of 1,000 bayonets. The Horse, reinforced from home and by the 1,100 men of the 10th and 12th Hussars from India, are over 3,000 strong, and are divided into three brigades instead of two. Our readers may have noticed the departure of vast cavalry reinforcements from England during the past month, of men and horses that have been trained throughout the winter for the work. The artillery arm of the British service is the most complete of all. * * * * We have the authority of an English officer of high rank, just returned only for a few days on the business of the war, for statiiig 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.
