THE LIVERPOOL BANKS.- - The Union Bank has declared a dividend of 3 per cent. on the capital stock of the company for the last half-year.—The Royal Bank, on preference shares, has declared the payment of interest after the rate of 5 per cent. The Borough Bank has declared a dividend of 7 per cent. on the paid-up capital of the company, for the last half year. COMITY VOTERS.—Persons entitled to vote in elections for the county would do well to remember that their claims to be put on the register must be sent to the overseers of the parish in which their property is situate before the 20th instant. Those already on the list, and who may have changed their residence, must also give the overseers notice of their proper place of a b ode. - SERIOUS ASSAULT.—A Greek seaman, named Antonio Fascoritch, was taken into custody on Friday, for assaulting Michael Hanley, a labourer, in the Bramley-Moore Dock. Pascoritch struck Hanley a violent blow on the head with a lump of coal, inflicting a severe wound on the head. The in jured man was conveyed to the Northern Hospital, where the wound was dressed. AT some vitriol works at Ratcliffe-bridge, Lancashire, on Wednesday night, Robert Chadwick, one of a set of men work ing during the night only, was found lying on the floor in a quantity of vitriol, about two inches deep, which had flowed over from one of the boilers. He had stumbled and fell. and a suffocating gas had generated with such rapidity, that he could not rise again. He was nearly insensible when rescued by his fellow-workmen, and survived a few days only. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday, Thomas Eves, aged nine years, son of Peter Eves, was playing with a number of other youths about some timber heaps at the south end of the town, when a large piece of wood fell and crushed him very severely. He was promptly removed to the Southern Hospital, where it was ascertained that the lower part of his body and his thigh had been dreadfully crushed. Nothwithstanding every exertion to safe the life of the young sufferer, he died at an early hour on the following morning. DETERMINED SUICIDE.—On Tuesday, an inquest was held on the body of Robert Bullen, aged 47, late a bailiff in the County Court, who died from the effects of a wound of the throat inflicted by himself. It appeared that in March last the deceased cut one of his fingers, and, inflammation ensuing, wastold by a medical man that amputation would be neces sary. This preyed so much upon his mind that he cut his forearm very severely with a razor, with the intention of bleeding himself to death. This attempt on his life failing, he inflicted the wounds from the effects of which he died a few days since. Verdict, " Temporary insanity." HOLME'S BANK, ISLE OF MlN.—Much dissatisfaction is expressed at the late "break down" of a suit in the Manx Chancery-court, in which an action was brought to recover the penalty of 00,000, on a certain bond given ey the late James Holme, for the payment of notes issued by the bank under the license of the Clerk of the Rolls, and the Receiver- General of the Isle ofi Man. It is supposed that an appeal will ultimately have to be carried to the House of Lords. The money realised from the personal property and assets of the deceased, at present, cannot be much less than £lOO,OOO, and it is suggested that £77,000 should be set aside to meet preferable claims in dispute, snd costs. JUVENILE BURGLARS.—At the Police-court, on Friday, two lads, named William Collier and John M c Glone, were sent to gaol for three months, fir% the following impudent bur glaries. At three o'clock -on Friday morning they were ob served to go to the house of a Mrs. Thompson, in Giklart gardens, to open the shutter, take out a pane of glass, and steal a cap. They then went to Ring's sugar refinery, in Ford-street, where they stole a coat and waistcoat belonging to some of the men who work all night. The latter articles were soon missed, information was given to the police, and the prisoners were taken into castody with them in their possession. STEAM FROM LIVERPOOL TO HAVANA.—The Havana, a magnificent screw-steamer, of 1,500 tons, built by Mr. Laird, is to be despatched•on the 17th inst., under the Spanish flag, by Messrs. G. H. Fletcher and Co., of Covent-garden, in this town, as the pioneer of a line of steam vessels to sail monthly between this port and Havana. The Havana, whidi is under the command of Commander Grinda, R.N., has been construct ed especially for this trade, and is expected to achieve another victory for her eminent builder. The cabins are replete with every possible convenience, and the passengers •are provided for in the most comfortable manner. THE HAT HARVEST is now general in this district, and the crop promises to be most abundant, notwithstanding the late ness of the spring. In the various townships in the vicinity of Liverpool, including West Derby, Knott's - Ash, and the Prescot and Knowsley districts ; also Walton and the sur rounding country, The grass is nearly all cat, and a consi derable quantity of hay has already been housed, The yield is above an average, the grass being very thick at the bottom, and moreover better in quality than in former years, the late ness of the season having contributed to its .shooting up ra pidly under the influence of the genial weather which we have had during the last few weeks, and being cut before it could be parched by drought. The corn crops lodk remarkably well especially the wheat, which is generally strong, and in full ear' EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE AGAINST AJEWELLER.--ISaae Cohan, a silversmith, of Park-lane, was brought up at the police-court, on Thursday, charged with 'buying stolen pro perty. It appeared that Mr. James Smith, a person connected with the American mail steamers, lost a gold watch value £lB, whilst he was intoxicated in Jamaica-street, on Saturday night. Subsequently a boy, named Sloan, gave the watch to a well known thief, named Peter Duff, who sold it to Cohan for £l. The policezmade inquiries from Cohan, who at first denied all knowledge of the watch: They got hold of two boys, however, who had seen him purchase it from Duff, and confronting them with him, obliged Cohan to confess that he had pur chased it. The police then threatened to-search the premises, when he told them that it was no use, as he had already melted sown tue watch. nun, moan, ana uonan were vow mitted for trial. ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLUB.—A sailing-match for the grand Challenge Cup, of £lOO value, will take place to-day, on the Mersey. The Cynthia won this prize in 1853, and it was won from her by the Coralle last season. The following is a list of the yachts at present entered:: —Coralie, 35 tons, Mr. A. E. Byrne; Zilla, 21 tons, Mr. G. Harrison; Surprise, 16 tons, treasurer R.M.Y.C. ; Seabird, 33 tons, honorary secretary R.M.Y.C. ; Windward, 16 tons, Mr. W. Sinclair ; Mirage, 18 tons, Mr. G. Woodward ; Spray of the Ocean, 8 tons, Mr. T. Brassey, jun. The Iron Duke, City of Dublin Company's steam-ship, will, we understand, be granted for the use of the members and their friends to accompany the race. Theclub held their monthly dinuer.at the marine sta tion, Birkenhead Ferry, on Tuesday, the rear-commodore pre siding, Six new members were elected and others proposed. POSTAGE -or MERCANTILE CIRCULARS.—The following letter, relative to the postal transmission of mercantile cir culars has been published :—" The Postmaster-General has decided, upon a reconsideration of the question, to admit mercantile prices current to the privilege of registered newspapers, for transmission abroad ; and any renewed application which may be made on behalf of prices current, which have been declined by the Postmaster-General as not entitled to the privilege, will be at once submitted to Lord Canning. In the meantime, prices current, purport ing to be periodicals, may be sent to the United States at the periodical' rate, one in each cover. They can, of course, be also sent to the other countries referred to. It must be understood, however, that the department cannot ensure that these publications shall be regarded as periodi cals' in the countries to which they may be sent."—(Signed) T. HILL, General Post-office, London, 4th July. THE LATE ROBBERY OF BANK NOTES IN 141TERPOOL.— In one of the superior courts last week, an action was gained against Brown, Shipley, and Co., finally(nom against the Bank of England,) by a Frenchman, Sul, who cashed, in Paris, a stolen £5OO note, and claimed to have the note honoured. The evidence was complete, that the Liverpool police had served on St. Paul, as a well-known money-changer in Paris, notice of the robbery, of the num ber of the note, &c. ; that the note was cashed after that notice had been served; and the excuse is, that there are so many of such notices, St. Paul and his clerks could not read all, and had no memory of this particular notice ! We do not, says a contemporary, remember so excessively stupid and wrong a verdict ; and we are disposed to attribute the verdict to the manner of the Chief Justice (Jervis), who ridiculed the witnesses, among others, Keogh, an active officer of the Liverpool police, with whose brogue" his lordship found facetious fault. Verdict for the plaintiff, £534. Execution to be stayed, but no points reserved. SUDDEN DEATH of A PUBLICAN.—John Lynch, publican, 33 years of age,. Fontenoy-street, was fo un d d ea d i n b e d a t a bout one o'clock on Friday morning. On Monday, some men were drinking in his house, and one of them called for a quart of ale, which was supplied; but finding that his customers would not pay, he took back the liquor, when one of them, Anthony M`Teigh, a private in a militia regiment, took up a tumbler, and threw it at the landlord, striking him in the mouth, breaking two of his teeth, and cutting him severely in the lip. The offender was taken into custody, and was brought up before the magistrates On Tuesday for the assault, when the deceased appeared against him. The result was, that the militiaman was fined 20s. and costs, or to suffer a month's imprisonment in default of payment. Subsequently, the deceased was affected with nervousness, and remained in bed all day on Wednesday ; but as it was supposed that his ill ness was the effects of drink, no medical man was sent for. ST. MATTHIA ScnooLs.—On Tuesday, the children at tending the schools connected with St. Matthias' Church, Great Howard-street, and a large number of friends and visitors, sat down to tea in the schoolrooms, which were taste fully decorated for the occasion. The Rev. Vincent Sheldon, the incumbent, presided, and opened the proceedings with an address showing the necessity of education in that neighbour. hood, and detailing the improvements that had been made in one of the schoolrooms. The education given in the schools was passable, but far from sufficient. He found that the low rate of payment now made by the children, threehalfpence and twopence, produced during the last year £l6 6s. 4d. The total expense of supporting the schools during the year was £lB6 2s. 10d. The excess was partly met by subscriptions and donations, and by an annual grant of £6O from the old churches committee, leaving, however, a balance of £26 against them. The committee had resolved that the rates of payment shall be raised ; that the number of paid teachers should be increased, and that the quality of education should be improved. He concluded with an earnest appeal to the audience to assist in carrying out the object they had in view. The meeting was also addressed by the Rev. R. Watson, vice-president, a Fellow of Queen's College, Cambridge, and several other clergymen. During the evening a number of glees and rounds were sung by the children. PRESCOT FLOWER AND POULTRY Snow.—On Wednesday the third annual Floral, Horticultural, and Poultry Exhibition took place in a large field at Parkside, Prescot. It was made a holiday in Prescot, all the shops in the town being closed, and the church bells rung merry peals at intervals during the day. A numerous assemblage of ladies and gentlemen gave additional interest to the scene, and two excellent bands of music also imparted much animation and pleasure to the day's proceedings. The company, which was estimated at several thousands, consisted to a great extent of parties from Liverpool anti the neighbourhood, who continued to arrive in succession at Huyton, by railway, and who were conveyed thence to Prescot by omnibuses, and other conveyances, which ran during the day. The exhibition of flowers was in every respect equal, if not superior, to that of the two former years, whether as regards the quantity, variety, or quality. There was a choice variety of fruits. In vegetables there were some mon ' ster specimens, more especially in rhubarb, lettuce, and cab bages. There were also some fine potatoes, the Earl of Derby carrying off the prize for the best kidneys. The show of poultry was superior to any that had preceded it. The exhi bition -included noted breeders from distant parts of the country, as well as the immediate neighbourhood. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. PARLIAMENTA..RY INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS. TUESDAY. THE LATE LORD RAGLAN. — After the Clerk had read her Majesty's most gracious message, informing their lordships of her intention to confer a signal mark of her favour on the widow and heir of the late Lord Raglan, Lord PANMURE moved an address, in answer to her Majesty's message, and, in doing so, reminded the house of the distinguished services and glorious career of the soldier whose memory they were now called on to honour. In his death it might be truly said that all England had to lament the loss of an intrepid soldier, a great commander, an accomplished gentleman, and a noble and distinguished citizen. The address was, as usual, the echo of the message.—Lord DERBY said he was most anxious to take the earliest opportunity of expressing his concurrence in the graceful tribute which Lord Panmure had paid to the memory of the gallant commander whose career had shed ad ditional lustre on the annals of the noble house from which he sprang. Of his military qualities it would ill become him (Lord Derby) to speak, but he would assert that few men placed in the position recently filled by Lord Raglan would have so completely overcome the difficulties and embarrass ments of a divided command, and thus consolidated the feel ings of mutual confidence and goodwill which happily existed between the allied armies. In conclusion, he begged most cordially to support the address.—Lord HARDINGE, after an intimacy of fifty-six years, was most anxious to bear testimony to the great merits of Lord Raglan, whose powers and abilities he was convinced were much higher than they were commonly supposed to be.—The Duke of CAMBRIDGE and Lord CAR DIGAN declared their conviction that Lord Raglan had evinced great tact and capacity in a most difficult position, and were followed by Lord GALLOWAY, the Duke of BEAUFORT, Lord ELLESMERE, Lord GRA Nvmx, and Lord BROUGHAM, each of whom spoke in the highest terms of Lord Raglan's merits.— The motion was then agreed to nem. con. The Friendly Societies Bill, and the Woolmer Forest Bill were read a third time and passed. Their lordships adjourned at twenty minutes to seven o'clock. The Burial of Poor Persons Bill and the West India Relief Loans Arrangement Bill passed through committee. The Union of Contiguous Benefices Bill, the Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Continuance Bill, the Commons' Enclosure (N 0.2) Bill, and the Treasurers of Counties ( Ireland) Bill were read a second time. STAGE CARRIAGES DIITIES.—The house went into com mittee, and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved reso lutions, upon which to found a bill to reduce the duties on stage carriages from lid. to ld. a-mile, and the supplementary license to is. The alteration would cause a loss of revenue of not less than £50,000. The resolutions were agreed to, and the house resumed. The Lunatic Asylums and Regulations Acts Amendment Bill was read a second time. The Public Libraries and Museums Bill passed through committee.—The house adjourned at three o'clock. FRIDAY. The NewDwellingmrrits were Houseserordered re (Scotland) l ß t e i n l l h w a n s , n a s t s h e e d. room of the Hon. Craven Fitzhardinge Berkeley, deceased. For Eveshanl, in the room of the Hon. Chas. Lennox Grenville Berkeley, who had accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. LORD DUNDONALD'S SCIIEME.—In answer to a question, Sir C. WOOD said, that the plan was referred to a committee, and was so very obvious that it required no explanation on the part of the Earl of Dundonald to render it perfectly intelligible. TEE RIOTS IN HYDE PA.RK.—In reply to a question whether it was the intention of the Government to grant an inquiry into the conduct of the police in Hyde Park on Sunday last, Sir G. GREY repeated what he had said on Thursday, that in the case of any specific complaint of the conduct of the police he should feel it to be his duty to institute a strict inquiry. He had received a very large number of representations on the subject, some of them complaining of the misbehaviour of the police, others describing their conduct as marked by modera tion and forbearance. Facilities were afforded for remedy against the misconduct of the police ; at the same time, he was willing to institute a searching investigation into any allegations brought before him.—A conversation ensued, in the course of which Mr. G. DUNDAS said:— So we are threatened with another demonstration next Sunday, and men are to go armed in order to defy the authority of the police ! I hope that the right hon. baronet will take efficient means to prevent any such collision. I may remind the right hon. baronet that prevention is better than cure, and I will go further, and say that nothing will frighten a mob more than the crash upon the pavement of the trail of a 6-pounder. (Cries of " Oh, and some sensation.) The subject shortly afterwards dropped, but was subsequently resumed by Mr. ROEBUCK calling the attention of the Chair to language employed by Mr. G. Dundas, which he character ised as unworthy of an English gentleman, and of the house to listen to.—The SPEAKER ruled that the language excepted to should have been noticed immediately.—Mr. G. DUNDAS ex plained the meaning he intended to convey by the expressions he had used. _ _ _ MAILS TO AIISTRALIA. — In reply to Sir J. PAKINGTON, Mr. WILSON stated that the arrangement made for the con veyance of the mails to Australia by way of the Cape of Good Hope had been abandoned, but that the contract for the con veyance of a mail by way of India every other month was merely suspended in consequence of the Peninsular and Ori ental Steampacket Company being unable to procure vessels to replace those on Government service in the Black Sea. A proposal had been made by the Admiralty to that company at the request of the Treasury, to convey the mails by way of India to Australia every month, but the company werewait ing the return of some of their vessels before giving a reply to Government. Questions and answers on various subjects of like impor- taw were exchanged. MICHINERY.—A motion for the production of correspon dence between the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment and certain magistrates of Oldham, on the subject of a prosecution before the said magistrates of a manufacturer for having on his premises unfenced machinery, from which neglect the death of an individual resulted, was, after some discussion, agreed to. THE VIENNA CONFERENCE.—Mr. M. GIBSON asked for ex planations from the Government relative to the opposition of her Majesty's ministers to the views of their colleague, the late British plenipotentiary at the Vienna Conferences, in reference to the plan proposed by Austria to be submitted to Russia for the purpose of putting "an end to Russian pre ponderance in the Black Sea," as stated in the circular addressed by Count Buol to the diplomatic agents of Austria, dated Vienna, May 25. He read a passage from Count Buol's circular, and expressed his belief that Lord J. Russell went to Vienna with a bona fide intention to make an honourable peace ; but that his col leagues appeared to have entertained different views, and to have desired to avoid the chance of peace. How could he, then, reconcile the retention of office with the statements he had declared at Vienna ? If he had changed his opinion, let him frankly avow it. He cautioned the First Minister that a day of retribution would come ; the Administration had, he said, sacrificed the flower of the British army, as well as millions of the public money ; they bad concealed from Parlia ment facts material to guide its opinion, and the course they had taken was calculated to bring great disasters upon the country, which would visit them upon their heads.— Lord J. RU-SSELL referred in detail to the consultations at the Congress respecting the mode of solving the third point, in which Count Buol admitted, he said, that the best mode was to obtain from Russia a limitation of her force in the Black Sea ; but he suggested that there was another mode—that of strengthening Turkey, instead of weakening Russia. Ulti mately he proposed that there should be a stipulation for a counterpoise of forces, whereby, if Russia increased her naval power in the Black Sea beyond its then dimensions, England, France, Austria, and Turkey might augment theirs in propor tion:; and, further, that there should be a treaty by which. Austria, Great Britain, and France guaranteed the indepen dence and integrity of Turkey, Russia being made a party to that guarantee. It appeared to him that these provisi sg o eed n n s d d h i toi d cos ,contain a opinion. security TiA,. f t o r r ia Tu n G rk o e v y e , rn a m n e d nt he ha n d ad off n e o r t ed ch to an Russia the alternative either to consent to this proposition, 'or - to limit her naval power in the Black Sea, and that, if Russia refused, it should be considered a. cases Belli. His honourable colleagues in her Majesty's government, however, came to the conclusion that the proposition did not afford a safe basis for further negotiation. To the question why, after this, he remained a member of the Administration, he replied that if he had left office on this decision he should not have acted consistently with the rule which had always guided his conduct ; and that, whatever might be his senti ments upon this great question, he thought it to be his duty to continue his support to the present head of the cabinet, and not, by quitting office, weaken its stability.—Mr. COBDEN expressed his grief and surprise at the speech of Lord J. Russell. The complaint was that when he returned from Vienna he promised to do his best to induce the government to agree to a proposition which he approved, and that he had not informed the house that the terms submitted by Austria had his approval. Instead of telling the house frankly what was his opinion as to the great question of peace or war, he had made speeches denouncing the en croachments of Russia, the effect of which was to make the country believe that he had come from Vienna despairing of any termsof peace, while he knew right well that lie had come back bringing a proposition which he had told Count Buol he would advoeate in his Cabinet. Lord Sohn had, he con sidered, abandoned his trust by not resigning office when he found he tould not carry out his views, and he looked upon his conduct with the more regret from the danger to which his example exposed the cause of representative government. He advised the house not to be frightened at the prospect of a change of ministry ; he would infinitely prefer that the other side should be in power, and he looked with regret at the vote he had given which displaced the ministry of Lord Derby, a change which had cost the country, in his opinion, 100 millions of money and thousands of lives.—Lord PAL MERSTON defended the conduct of Lord J. Russell and the course taken by him, and, with reference to the proposal of Austria, the governments of England and France had given to it their most anxious and earnest consideration, and had de cided, not hastily or upon light grounds, that it did not furnish that real security for peace for which they were bound to look. He reviewed the transactions of the war on the Danube, in the Baltic, and in the Black Sea, and in the Sea of Azoff, observ ing that the result was that the territory of our ally had been evacuated, and we occupied an important position in that of Russia. With regard to the regret expressed by Mr. Cobden that the government was not in other hands, he felt assured, he said, that the country would support no Administration that would not carry on the war with vigour and conduct it to a successful issue.—Mr.Roentrex observed that there were two matters involved in this discussion—one the character and conduct of Lord J. Russell, the other the wisdom of the war. On the first he concurred with Mr. Gibson and Mr. Cobden ; on the second, he agreed with Lord Palmerston. He examined the conduct of Lord John Russell in relation to the Aus trian proposal, considering it to be inconsistent with the perfect honesty of a public man.—Mr. DISRAELI said that evening would be memorable for the unex ampled revelation made by Lord J. Russell, who had ad mitted that, employed in the high position of Minister Pleni potentiary to negotiate on the subject of peace or war, and having arrved at a solution of the difficulty, and accomplished a result that would secure peace to the country, he returned to England, and, strange to say, finding no sympathy on the part of his colleagues, who determined upon the prosecution of a war which, in his opinion, ought to have terminated, ac ceded to their suggestions, and remained, in a Cabinet of War, a Minister of Peace. The reasons he had given for this ex traordinary course were no less singular than the course itself. The country, however, ought to consider the vital question, whether we were to have peace or war; the question ought not to be an open one in the Cabinet, which, in either case, ought to be unanimous, or there could be no chance of vigour or efficient action. The effect of that night's debate would have an evil tendency. The impression in the Cabinets of the continent, however, must have been that when our Plenipotentiary accepted the Austrian pro position he represented the mind and policy of his own Ca binet. Why did not his colleagues ratify his labours ? When a minister of the cabinet was sent to negotiate a peace, and succeeded, and, although his labours were not ratified, remained in the cabinet, the house had a right to expect from a govern ment so situated a frank explanation of the reasons which in duced them not to accept the result of his labours. Mr. Dis- RAELI concluded by saying :—"And this is the end of this im portant session—this is the end of breaking up so many governments—this is the end of your great national intentions, great national disasters—this is the end of the government, at the head of which you were to have a minister of surpassing energy, and, no doubt, transcendant experience —this is the end of the ministry which was to put the right men in the right places—this is the end, that even peace and war have become mere party considerations,that the interests of the coun try are sacrificed to the menace of a majority, and that the tumults and turbulent assemblies of Downing-street are to baffie all the sagacity of all the conferences of Vienna."- -Sir G. GREY complained of the erroneous construction put by Mr. Disraeli upon the statement of Lord John Russell, who had not said, as had been assumed, that he had brought over a proposal assented to by Russia; on the contrary, the principle of that proposal, involving a limitation of the naval power of Russia in the Black Sea, Russia had declared she would never accede to. He denied that the Cabinet was a divided one. They were unanimous in considering the war just and necessary, and in the prosecution of it they were a united Cabinet. The house then went into a Committee of Supply, but the chairman immediately reported progress. The Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Bill went through committee, with some unimportant amendments. The Bills of Lading (No. 2) bill, the Endowed Schools (Ire land) bill, and the West Indies Relief Loans Arrangement bill were read a third time and passed. The house went into committee on the Gold Wedding-Rings bill, the object of which was to restore to gold wedding-rings the stamp which had been inadvertently removed from them by a clause introduced into a bill of last session. The Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Continance bill, and the THURSDAY. On the motion of Lord St. LRONARDS, further returns were ordered of the number of convicts who had received tickets of leave. The Marquis of BREADALBANE reported that their lord ships' address, in answer to Her Majesty's message respecting provision to be made for the widow and son of the late Lord Raglan, had been most graciously received. RECRUITING FOR THE ARMY.—The Earl of ELLENEO - urged many objections to the proposed plan for giving double pay to the soldiers on service in the Crimea. He expressed a preference for the introduction of some relax ation in the existing restrictions upon enlistment, which he considered uselessly stringent, as well as in the present regu lations respecting allowances, stoppages, and other arrange ments whose effects were harassing or injurious to the men. — Lord PANMITRE, defended the plan of the Government, but intimated his consent to a modification by which the soldiers would be permitted to receive at once sixpence out of the additional shilling of pay per diem in the character of a field allowance. _ The School Grants (Security for Application) Bill was read a second time.—The Accidents on Railways Bill was reported with amendments.—The Union Charges Act Continuance Bill was read a third time and passed. NAVAL CADETS. — The Earl of HA.RDWICEE called atten tion to the deficient provision now made for the instruction of naval cadets in the Royal Service. He suggested the re establishment of the Navy College existing in 1832.—Earl GRANVILLE intimated that some communications had been exchanged with the First Lord of the Admiralty on the subject, and without making any pledge as to the suggested college, stated that the number of naval instructors employed in the service would be materially increased.—The subject dropped, and their lordships adjourned at a quarter to 7 o'clock. FRIDAY. After some conversation between the Law Lords on thejudi cial business of the House, the Earl of DERBY moved the second reading of the Religious Worship (No. 2) Bill, and, having regretted the refusal of the Earl of Shaftesbury to serve on the select committee to which the Religious Worship (No. 1.) Bill had been referred, proceeded to explain the reasons which had induced that committee to frame the present measure, which would be found to relieve all denominations of Christians, Dissenters as well as members of the Church of England, from the possible operation of existing penal statutes. He was sorry to learn that the Earl of Shaftesbury intended to oppose the bill. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY replied that his reason for declining to serve on the committee was his unwillingness to share in the responsibility of recommendations which he felt would be adverseto his measure. The noble lordthen entered into an examination of the clauses of the new bill, which, instead of relaxing,only tightened the reins of our ecclesias tical system, and, in conclusion, moved that it 'be read a second time that day three months. • The Archbishop of CANTERBURY, while giving the Earl of Shaftesbury fall credit for the best intentions, thought that his zeal carried him to the verge of intolerance. His own desire was that neither bill should pass into law.—After some further discussion in which the Bishop of London, Lord Shaftesbury, Lord Derby, the Bishop of Oxford, and Lord Granville took part,the bill was withdrawn. The Assizes and Sessions Bill, and the Friendly Societies Bill were read a third time and passed. The Court of Exchequer (Ireland) Bill, the Stock in Trade Bill, and the Copyhold, &c., Continuance Bill, were . read a second time. The House adjourned at a quarter past 8 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS. TUESDAY. The Speaker took the chair a few minutes 'after noon. "rne 'louse went into committee on the Metropolis Local Management Bill, and discussed the remaining clauses. On an amendment proposed by Lord EnnINGTON, he said it would be perfectly absurd to divide in so small a house (there were about 16 members present) on a question :affecting 2,600,000 people ; he would therefore, withdraw the amendment. The House went into committee on the Passengers Act Amendment Bill, and clauses 1 to 13 were agreed to. In reply to Admiral Walcot, Lord PALMERSTON said the Order of the Bath would be conferred without reference to the projected Order of Merit, and that, in the eases of recom mendations for the Order of the Bath in which death should intercept it, the names of the parties would be published, with a record of the recommendation and of the reason why the order was not actually conferred. THE LATE LORD RAGLAN. — The house having resolved itself into a committee, and the message of Her Majesty with reference to the family of the late Lord Raglan having been read, Lord PALMERSTON said it was his intention to propose, in furtherance of Her Majesty's wishes, that a pension of £l,OOO a-year should be granted to Lady Raglan, and £2,000 a-year to the present Lord Raglan, with remainder to his son. It was unnecessary to expatiate upon the merits of the late Lord Raglan, whose whole life had been devoted to the service of his country, and who bore in his person a -visible token of his readiness to expose his life upon the field of battle. When the command of the army now in the Crimea was offered to him he might have declined it, on the plea of advancing age and importantduties at horse ; but, with the spirit of a soldier, he did not hesitate an instant in making every personal sacri fice to the call of duty to his country and his sovereign. He had in this command to contend with the greatest difficulties ; and, although he had the satisfaction at last of seeing himself at the head of one of the most magnificent armies that had ever quitted the British shore, it must have caused a severe pang to a heart like his to find that his brilliant hopes could not be realised. In addition to his gallantry, his other qualities peculiarly fitted him for the situation in which he was placed. The gentleness of his nature, his conciliatory disposition, and his consideration for the feelings of others contributed to knit in the bonds of companionship two armies which had hitherto known each other only as opponents in the field of battle. He moved resolutions to give effect to his proposition.—The mo tion was seconded by Mr. DISRAELI, who, in an eloquent tribute to the late lord, observed that his qualities were remark able, and that it might be doubted whether they could be sup plied by any of his successors in eommand.—Several other members having addressed the house in eulogy of the deceased general, the resolutions were agreed to menk con. The house was shortly after counted out, while Mr. Rich was moving a resolution on the subject of army promotions. WEDNESDAY. LORD RAGLAN.—The report upon the Queen's Message was brought up and agreed to, and a bill was ordered to be brought in founded thereupon. The order for the second reading of the Truck Act Amend ment Bill was discharged. The house went into committee upon the Mortmain Act, the clauses of which, with certain additional clauses, were agreed to. The Burial of Poor Persons Bill was read a second time. The Stock in Trade Bill was read a third time and passed. The Coal Mines Inspection Bill, and the Endowed Schools (Ireland) Bill passed through committee. The Copyhold, &c., Commissions Continuance Bill was read a third time and passed. The Dissenters' Marriages Bill passed through committee, after undergoing certain amendments. The Duchy of Lancaster Lands Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. COWPER obtained leave to bring in a bill to authorise the enclosure of certain lands, in pursuance of a special report of the Enclosure Commissioners for England and Wales. Mr. WILsoN obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend an act of the last session of parliament, relating . to the sale of spirits by unlicensed persons and illicit distillation in Ireland. The house adjourned at a quarter to six o'clock. THURSDAY. The Speaker took the Chair at noon. The house went into committee on the Nuisances Removal Bill, and clauses from 1 to 16, after several verbal amendments, were agreed to. COAL MINES AT HERACLIA.—In reply to Mr. EWART, Mr. WILSON said, the quantity of coal produced at Heraclia and other places on the south coast of the Euxine had increased to 60,000 tons per annum, sufficient for the supply of the French and English navies in that sea ; that the royalty payable to the Turkish government was 10s. per ton, and the cost of the coal was 15s. per ton, making the total cost on board 255. ; but it was expected that it would be reduced to about 20s. per ton ; and that the quality of the coal was very good. THE POLICE.—The conduct of the police towards the public in Hyde-park and elsewhere was made the subject of a pro longed and irregular discussion.—Mr. ROBBITCK alluded to a special case of alleged brutality, perpetrated by a constable on a man sitting peaceably in a news-room, upon which Sir G. Grey promised that investigation should take place.—The HOME SECRETARY afterwards said, in answer to Mr. J. G. Phillimore, that no special or general inquiry would be insti tuted concerning the conduct of the police in Hyde-park. The house went again into committee upon the Tenants' Im provements Compensation (Ireland) Bill, and the entire evening was expended upon the 14th clause—an important one—the debate being diversified by the discussion of a question respect ing three disputed votes, which was referred to the Speaker. Ultimately, the clause was negatived by 138 to 102.—Mr. Sergeant S]IEE appealed to Lord Palmerston whether, after this decision, he would go on with the bill.—Lord PALMERS. TON reproached Mr. Shee somewhat severely for the course he had taken with reference to this measure. — Mr. Sergeant SHER retorted with much bitterness, and, after a smart re joinder from Lord PALMERSTON, the Chairman reported pro gress.—The question concerning the disputed votes, which involved points of some nicety, was then considered and adjudicated upon by the SpEAKEit. The Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Bill went through committee. The amendments to the Endowed Schools ( Ireland) Bill were considered and agreed to. Commons Enclosure (No. 2) bill, also passed through com mittee. STAGE CAIIEIAGES AND BUILDING SOCIETIES. — The report of the resolutions agreed to in committee were brought up. The first reduced the mileage duty to ld., and the sup plemental license to ls. ; the second authorised the stamping of paper for the covers or envelopes of letters ; the third re lated to stamps on orders for the payment of prize or bounty money ; and the fourth was as follows :—" That no exemption from stamp duty contained in or granted by any act relating to friendly societies, nor any other exemption from stamp duty than such as is contained in section 8 of the act 6th and 7th of Wm. IV., chap. 32, for the regulation of benefit building societies, shall be deemed to extend to any form of assurance, or any conveyance, mortgage, transfer, agreement, bond, or other instrum en t ma d e t o or on behalf of any benefit building society by any member of such society to whom any sum or sums exceeding in the whole the sum of £240 shall be ad vanced by such society, except such deeds or instruments as may be made on behalf of a member of such society admitted before the 6th day of July, 1855, in pursuance of engagements made between such member and the said society before that dfitF.' , The latter was opposed by several members, but on a division was carried by 67 to 41. The house adjourned at half-past one o'clock. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ATLAIiTIC. BY the United States Mail steam-ship Atlantic, Captain West, which aVrived on Sunday morning, we have intelligence from New York to the 27th ult. The Atlantic brought $BOO,OOO in specie, and 231 passengers, amongst whom were Sir Allan Macnab, Prime Minister of Canada, and family. The United States steam-ship Baltic, hence, arrived out on the 27th ult. The steam-ship Ariel, from Havre, on the 19th ult., had arrived at New York. Thirteen deaths had occurred on board the ship George Hurlbut, from Antwerp to New York, and five on board of the ship Calhoun, hence at that port, all infants. Jermoine Heroes, charged with taking an African boy into the port of New York for the purpose of making a slave of him, had been examined at the United States District Attor ney's office, and held to bail to answer the charge in twenty thousand dollars. Favourable accounts continue to be received in reference to the growing and ripening crops. The Canada, the first of the Great Western Railway steam ers, arrived at Oswego, on the 26th ultimo, from Hamilton and Toronto. _ _ The Elmira Republican reports the elopement of a clerical gentleman with the wife of a gentleman residing at Birch Creek, whose hospitality he had shared, and thus abused. The treaty of the United States with Japan hew top„ rati fied. Commander Adams, of the United States navy, the bearer of the document of ratification, states that the people of Japan express great anxiety for the arrival of American ships. A terrible row had occurred on board of the ship William Stetson, bound from New York to Quebec. The first, second, and third mates, assisted by the cook and steward, attacked the crew, and the crew defended themselves with some effect. Some of the parties jumped overboard, and were with difficulty saved. An officer was despatched from the Mayor's office, for the purpose of arresting the aggressors, but the ship had sailed before his arrival. _ _ Two runaway slaves were discovered on board an English ship, bound from New Orleans to Liverpool, a short time after leaving port, and the captain caused a signal to be hoisted and had the negroes sent back to the city. The work for the next Presidential election had seriously commenced between the three parties who were anxious for the succession. The champion of the American party is George Law, of New York ; the Seward Coalition party, W. H. Seward, of New York ; the Democratic party, Henry A. Wise, of Virginia. The Know-Nothings of Baltimore, Washington, and Easton, Pa., had held large and enthusiastic meetings, and had adopted the Philadelphia platform. Notice had been given in• the lower branch of the New Hampshire Legislature of an intention to introduce a Personal Liberty Bill. The Herald presumes it will be identical with the act nullifying the Fugi tive Slave Law passed by the Legislature of Massachusetts at its last session. The vote of all the counties on the Prohibitory Liquor Law of Illinois had been received, and showed a majo rity against the law of 14,060 votes. The Supreme Court of New York, in full bench, had decided .that the New-Haven Railroad Company is bound by the acts of its late agent, Schuyler, and is liable for the fraudulent stock issued by him. Mr. Charles H. Stanley, of the British Consulate of New York, had been arrested, and placed under one thousand dollars bond, to answer a charge of enlisting recruits for the Crimea. CALIFORNIA.—By the arrival at New York of the Star of the West, from San Juan, with $626,306, an d th e George Law, from Aspinwall, with $1 , 052,287, we have advices from Cali fornia to the 2nd June. Those from the interior give glowing descriptions of the country an the general prosperity of the various branches of industry, particularly mining. The cre ditors and time certificate holders of the late banking house of Page, Bacon and Co., had held several meetings relative to the refusal of Mr. D. Page to make the parties whole who came forward to sustain the house at the time of its first suspension. After some delay, at a meeting on the 29th of May, Mr. C. K. Garrison came forward and pledged his property to the amount of $400,000 in support of the house by way of securing the creditors and staying all further legal proceedings. This pro position is said to have given general satisfaction. The affairs of Adams and Co. were undergoing investigation in the courts, and it had been decided that bankers were not entitled to the benefit of the insolvent law. TIER PA.CIFIC. — The L'Echo du Pacifigue estimates the strength of the allied forces in the Indian and Chinese seas at not less than fifteen sailing vessels and steamers, of which four are fifty gun frigates ; and hopes to recount in the course Of three months the happy result of the Pacific campaign, for the success of which prompt and skilful dispositions have been made. From the South Pacific the dates are :—Valpa- raiso, Dicey 14 ; and Callao, May 24. The Executive had i,sued two important decrees relative to the manning of merchantmen with foreign and Chilian sailors. Quiet reigned at Copiapo. In Peru people were rather opposed to the idea of a general toleration of religion. The ministerial party had triumphed at the elections, and general Castilla was likely to be declared President. The Valparaiso market had slightly improved. Maxico.—The almost universal spread of an organised rebellion against Santa Anna's authority is reported. The city of Monterey had surrended to the insurgents, and General Cardona, its commander, with his men, had been taken prisoners of war. General Antonio Jaureguin had been invested with chief power by the victors, and he immediately marched on Saltilio. The whole of Coahuila was enwrapped in the flame of insurrection, and the troops stationed at Tamaulipas had revolted. Santa Anna's forces were being concentrated at Carmargo, on the Rio Grande, in order to keep the communication with Matamoras open, but his power was evidently on the decline. Matamoras and all the country of Tamaulipas were declared in a state of siege. The crops on the Rio Grande look well. CENTRAL Astraxce.—The Executive of New Granada had ceded the island of Manzanilla to the railroad company. Mr. Tracy, head carpenter employed in repairing the steamship Golden Age, had been murdered at Tobago, by three negroes, who were summarily executed by the populace. This vessel had made a trial-trip since her accident which was satisfactory. Advices from Granada report that the St. Mary's had been ordered to Rsalejo, in order to prevent the landing of Colonel Walker. Colonel Kinney was looked for hourly. By way of New Granada we learn that, notwithstanding the Government blockade of the steamer United States on the East River, six hundred of Colonel Kinney's colonists left New York on the 19th of May for San Juan del Norte. It is reported as likely that they have already effected a junction with three hundred sympathisers from California, after a march to the interior of Nicaragua. Advices from Curacoa, in Venezuela, state that the Mona gas dynasty was in a critical position, and likely to break down soon. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, June 26th. MONEY continued very abundant and easy of access, at the low rates current for some time past. In exchange bills on Europe were on the increase, and the market assumed a down ward tendency. We quote London, lost to not- ; Paris, 5.12 to 5.16 ; Amsterdam, 414 to 41} ; Hamburg, 384 to 361 ; Bremen, 79} to 791. COTTON.—The market (says the New York Shipping List, of June 27) had been very quiet, all parties being desirous of receiving later advices before operating to any extent. The sales had been of a trifling character, consisting of supplies in the hands of weak parties, who were forced to yield a decline in order,to realise. The few transactions that had taken place had reduced prices fully -lc. The late rains at the south had not increased the southern rivers sufficiently to realise any quantity of cotton from the interior, and it is now certain that a large amount will be unavailable until next season.

The better qualities were less plentiful though firmer; yet prices were slightly depreciated. Wheat was inactive. Corn was active, and the sales in the aggregate were estimated at 90,000 to 100,000 bushels Western mixed, including small lots, sold early in the morning at 1012 c. to 102 c. in prime shipping order. The market then fell off, and the great bulk sold at 99c. to 101 c., with some parcels of inferior at 98c. Western yellow was reported sold in small lots at 102 c. PROvrsioNs.—The market for old mess pork had advanced 25c., and prime 371 c. to 621 c., with a good inquiry, part spe culative, the market closing firm. The market for beef con tinued buoyant, and the tendency of prices was upward. Prime mess beef remained inactive, and prices were entirely nominal. Bacon was scarce and firm, with a moderate export demand. Lard in fair request, and the market c. better. Butter plenty and dull. Cheese remained dull. IRON.—The market was without change ; steady and firm for pig and bar, with sales of 600 tons Scotch pig at $2B to $28,50, cash. English refined bars, $6O ; common, $54,75 to $55, six months. SALT.—SaIt continued in good demand at the recent im proved rates, and the sales noted include all afloat, and two cargoes of St. Jibes, from store ; they embrace six invoices bulk salt, including 2,750 sacks Liverpool fine, and 6,000 to 7,000 ditto, ground and fine, to arrive. FOREIGN MANUFACTURED GOODS.—This branch of trade remains as at our last report, without apparent activity. Some new goods are received, but as yet the prospect of effect ing sales is so poor, that the importers withhold the exhibition of samples. CoAL.—The market was without change. 120 tons of in ferior Liverpool brought $6, 4 mos. FREIGIITS. — Freights were rather dull.

A GREAT ECCLESIASTICAL SALE by auction, involving the religious teaching of no fewer than 48,000 people, is an nounced to take place early in the present month. The pro perty that is to come to the hammer is the rectory of Stock port. According to the Clergy List, the property thus offered for sale belongs to Lord Vernon.— Globe. SIR CULLING EARDLEY, a wealthy meddling baronet, who wishes to keep one foot in the church and one in the meeting house, and who is a promOter of " free churches" without bishops, has been attempting to get admitted into Oriel-Col lege, without submitting to the discipline required of-Church men, and without acknowledging himself to be anything else than a Churchmen. Dr. Hawkins, the Provost, tells him, "One, of the two—churchman or dissenter—you must be, and not both at once." Sir Culling, like some others in the pre.. sent day, wants to be both, by turn, when it suits his purpose. —English Churchman. UNION OF CONTIGUOUS BENEFICES.—A bill brought from the Lords (July 2) enacts that contiguous benefices may be united under this act, without regard to aggregate population or yearly value. On the representation of the inhabitants of any small parish that their benefice might be advantageously united, the bishop of the diocess will inquire into the circum stances of the case, and submit a certified statement to the Church Building Commissioners.' These latter may propose a scheme for the transfer of surplus revenues to poor parishes. Protests against the scheme may be made, and these are to be referred to the Judicial Committee, of whom the archbishops and bishops, members of the Privy Council, are to form part for the purposes of this act. The Queen in Council is empow ered to make orders approving every such scheme. The Church Building Commissioners may also propose schemes for the erection of new churches or parsonages, the removal of old churches or parsonages, the sale of sites, &c. No burial ground or site of church wholly surrounded by a grave-yard is to be sold. The Bishop of London is empowered to set apart one of the churches in London, otherwise to be pulled down, for service in Welsh. The sites of the churches to be pulled down are to be vested in the Church Building Commissioners. This bill will tend to promote the proposed removal of some of the old city churches. WEST INDIES.--The following is an interesting extract of a letter dated St. John's, Antigua, March 27, 1855 :—" We had a Confirmation in our cathedral a few days ago, and I never witnessed a service more solemnly and impressively performed. The candidates were few—only eight ; conse quently we had none of that tumult and excitement which ever accompany the service at home, arising from the large number of persons brought together. Our Bishop prefers holding frequent Confirmations, and in each church, as occasion may require. Might not our Bishops at home adopt this plan ; even though it should impose upon them additional labour ? The benefit to the confirmed would be great, and one of our most solemn and important services would be relieved of a character which does not belong to it, but which nullifies almost all the good of it. On the present occasion the candidates, both male and female, came dressed in white, a custom which is also adopted by the females at our monthly Communions, and which has a most pleasing effect. Seats were provided for them near the chancel rails, and the Bishop delivered a most impressive extempore address, taking as the ground of his observations the Preface to the Confirmation ; and after the rite of Confirmation was administered, made some further remarks most suitable to the position of those just confirmed. Coming fresh from home, I was much struck with the favourable contrast of the circumstances attending the solemn rite as administered here. And, indeed, I must say that the beauty of all our Church's services is more fully seen in the manner in which they are conducted in this colony." ST. AIDAN'S THEOLOGICAL COLLEGE, BIRKENHEAD.

Admiral Sir Charles Ekins, G.C.8., died on Monday last, at the extreme age of 87 years. The EARL or DERBY had audience of Her Majesty on Thursday, to present an address from the University of Oxford. THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE has arrived at Vienna, en route to the Crimea. IT is understood that the Emperor of the French has writ ten to Lady Raglan, in which more than ordinary feeling is displayed. Mr WILLES, of the Home Circuit, was, on Tuesday, sworn in as one of Her Majesty's judges, in the room of Mr. Justice Manle, retired, before the Lord Chancellor, at the House of Lords, in his private room. The Presse of Vienna mentions a rumour to the effect that Lord Westmoreland is likely not to return to Vienna, and that the Hon. Mr. Elliott, a near relative by marriage of Lord John Russell, is to succeed him. APPROACHING MARRIAGE IN HIGII LIFE.—A matrimo nial alliance will shortly take place, between Lord Muncaster and Lady Jane Grosvenor, daughter of the Marquis of West minster. _ _ VlscouNT CANNING is appointed Governor-general of India, in the room of the Earl of Dalhousie, who will return to England before the end of the year. Lord Canning was Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs from 1841 to 1846, and has been Postmaster-General since the formation of the Aber deen Administration, in January, 1853." On FRIDAY, an address was issued by Mr. E. Wodehouse,- M.P., announcing his immediate retirement from the repre sentation of East Norfolk, on account of impaired health. Simultaneously with this intimation appeared an address from Mr. H. Stracey, of Rackheath Hall, as a candidate for the of the Order vacant oOn seat Saturday, o nhe eConservativetat.Majesty l i d n t a e n r s investiture of the Bath, when decorations were conferred on the follow ing :—Duke of Cambridge, Admiral Dundas, Sir de Lacy Evans, Earl of Cardigan, Earl of Lucan, Colonel Shiel, E.1.C.5., Major Maude, Hon. Colonel Upton, Sir Thomas Troubridge; L or d John Hay, R.N. In the evening Her Majesty and Prince Albert, with the Royal children, dined at the Crystal Palace, after promenading the building. The Bath Chronicle records the death in that city of the Marquis of Thomond. His lordship had in early life seen much active service in the navy, and had attained to the rank of admiral, but for the last thirty years he has lived retired in Bath. His lordship has left no issue, and the Marquisate will become extinct, but the Barony of Inchiquin descends to Sir Lucius O'Brien, Bart., of Dromoland, County Clare; or, as some allege, to Mr. Smith O'Brien, the Irish exile, brother to Sir Lucius.. _ On Monday, Miss Coutts gave a juvenile party at her villa, Holly Lodge, Highgate. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary, and the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg Strelitz, accompanied by her son, Prince Adolphe, honoured the reunion with their pre sence. The Duke and Duchess d'Aumaule were also present. The Rajah of Coorg, the Nawaub of Surat, and the Princes Gholam Mahumed and Feroze Shah, were among the guests. PRINCE ALBERT went to Earlswood, Red-hill, on Tuesday morning, to open the Asylum for Idiots. In the afternoon His Majesty the King of the Belgians arrived at Buckingham Palace, from Ostend, on a visit to the Queen. His Majesty was accompanied by the Princess Charlotte of Belgium and the Count de Flanders, and suite.
