YESTERDAY. AFTER THE CON CERT.—RUSH V. JONES AND WIFE. — Mr. Brett, instructed by Mr. Grimmer, appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Aspinall for the defendants. The action was brought to recover damages for an assault. The defendants keep the Globe public house, at the corner of Dawson-street, and the plaintiff is the sister-in-law of a young woman named Margaret Fagan, who was employed as a vocalist in the music saloon of the Globe. It appears to be the "custom of the house" for the gentlemen who attend the concerts to express their admiratiom of the young ladies who sing, by treating them in the bar, after the performances have closed ; and Miss Fagan was in the habit of remaining to take her share of the good things giving away. Her sister, the plaintiff— according to her statement in the witness box not liking her to be out alone, at so late an hour of the night, made a point of calling for her. And it was this desire to play the part of a protector that took her to the Globe at midnight, on the 22nd of June. She re mained in the bar with the musical young ladies and the gentlemen who were " standing treat" until two o'clock. And, up to that time, she admitted, all went on comfortably enough. She then began to fear that her sister would have a headache in the morning; and suggested that she Should drink ginger -beer instead of gin -hot." The young lady herself "did net much mind which it was," but Mrs. Jones resented the plaintiff's interference, and, according to the evidence of the sisters, attacked her without further provocation, tore her bonnet and dress, pulled the hair out of her head, and finally turned her out of the house. The assault was not denied, 'but it was said to have been a trumpery offence, arising out of a quarrel among women for which the smallest possible amount of damages would be a sufficient compensation. The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff, with 40s. damages. A KICKING HORSE.—CALVERT V. RERS.—Mr. Brett (in structed by Mr, Grimmeo appeared for 'the plaintiff; Mr. Aspinall (instructed by Mr. Bremner) forthe defendant. The action was brought to receiver damages for an injury, which the plaintiff had sustained from the kick of a horse belonging to the defendant, on the 23rd February last. The plaintiff stated that on the day in question he was employed in Deni son-street, with other persons, in patti ng some su l p h ur on a wagon belongitig to the defendant. , The wagon, which had - three horses in it, was standing in The middle of the street. His (plaintiff's) attention was called.to the horses by a man named Davis, and, in-consequence of what Davis said, he went to the head of the shaft horse, which-vas blind. The middle horse, a black entire horse, immediately" struck out," and kicked him Violently on the head : the blow rendered him insensible, and he had to- be taken to the hospital, where he remained until *the 19th of March. After that he was under treatment-as an 'out-patient until the 30th -of June, until which time he was bunable . to resume his work. His wages were .255. per 'week. He neverlouched the horse before lueeeceived the kick. The Only question in the case - was as to the defendant's knowledge of the kicking propensities of the horse. The plaintiff's case 'WOK supported by two -witnesses, discharged - servants of Mr. 'Rees; who spoke to declarations which implied such know ledge.; while the defendant himself and three witnesses swore that the horse was not an habitual kicker, and that he had 'only, as far as they keew, offended in that .way twice; once when his breeching tad become entangled with a cart, and once (after the injttry to the plaintiff) when it was irritated by a Piece of timber filling upon it. Defendant -had given the laintiff two half-crowns while in the hospital, The jury i~cund for the plaintiff—damages £l5. RAYNER V. EATON.-31r. Aspinall and -Mr. Brett, (in estructed by Mr. Rymer,) appeared for the 'plaintiff; Mr. Broome and Mr. Fenwick, (instracted by Messrs. Anderson and Collins,)-fcr the defendant The action was brought by the daughter and executrix of the late Mr. Rayner, to recover a sum ,of ronrey due to the estate of the deceased. The de fendant laadpaid £ll9 into court. It-appeared that Mr. Eaton, in the lifetime of Mr. Rayner, bad acted as that gentleman's agent, and -on an examination of -the accounts, after Mr. Rayner's death, he was found to be-a -debtor to the estate to the amount-of £1,276 16s. 2d. Becoming , embarrassed in his circumstances, he proposed to make-a-composition with his creditereaand offered Os. Rd, in the. pound. The creditors generally -agreed to take the .composition, but the present plainek for some time, withheld -her consent, and her case to-day was, that she only gave it.at last-upon condition that her father's estate should be indemnified against loss, in re spect to• certain open contracts for palm oil and tartaric acid, which'the defendant had entered iiito - aiith a Mr. Atkinson, in his own - name, but in the late 31r-• •Rayner's behalf. On an adjustment of the contracts, a loss-was ascertained of £9OO, for whicleMr. Atkinson had eventually thken the composition of lid. to the pound on Mr. Eaton's ,ate. The questions for the jury were-1, whether £900; the whole amount of the loss-off - the contracts, was to be deducted from £1,276 16s. 2d., the -defendant's debt to Mr. Rayner's estate, and the composi tion paid upon the balance, in which case the amount paid into- eoart would hardly cover - the 'plaintiff 's claim ? 2, whe therthe defendant was entitled to: deduct not £9OO but £3OO, the amount which he had actually...paid ? or 3, whether the composition was not payable on thualole amount of £1,276 16sa 2d., without any deduction whatever, that being the ' construction of the arrangements .contended for by the plain tiffawho insisted that the -defendant was to hold the estate harmless, so far as the contracts wereeconcerned,from any loss i • whatever ? The jury took the latter-view of it, and found for the plaintiff. Damages, £425;1.25-;including the amount paid in to-court. , ASSA.IILT AND SLANDER.---13ITTIV N V. VINESEERG. —M. Thompson, (instructed by Mr. Grace,) appeared for the plain tiff; and Mr. Aspinall, (instructed •by Mr. Andrews,) for the defendant. The action was•brought to recover damages, laid ata6soo, for an assault and defamation —the assault, consist ing-cf an alleged attempt to'kiss, and the defamation, of lan guage imputing to the plaintiff that she was dishonest and-un chaste. The plaintiff, who, being under age, sued by her next friend, and whose appearance anddemeanour in the box made a ' , eery favourable impression, was -the first witness examined. She-stated that, having been for -some time in the service-of Mr. Watson, of the Marine-hotel, New Brighton, as bar maid, she engaged herself -in - the same canacity to the .a.ere..a...4., who seeps 'a publi, , house, principally Mee quented by German emigrants,. in Lime-street. About a week after her entering. his service, le called her into the coffee-room and attempted to kiss • her ; he did not succeed ; she -told him that he ought to -be ashamed of himself, and that, if he did not know his place as a master, she knew hers as .a'servant. She left the room. =lle repeated the attempt, on several occasions afterwards, but always unsuccessfully, and, -et the expiration of seven weeks, her mother took her away. She applied to a Mr. Heatley fer a situation on leaving the defendant's service, and he agreed to take her, but he sub sequently told her that the character given of her by her former master, Mr. Virtesberg, was int sufficiently satisfac tory, and he, therefore, declined to-.receive her. Had never beeuaguilty of any concbact which would justify the defendant' in imputing to her dishonesty orunchastity. Icy cress-examination the plaintiff denied that she had ever taken any liberties with a French gentleman, or permitted any liberties to be taken by gentlemernwith her, but she ad mitted that upon one occasion, when a person named Ash croft, well known to her and her family, was in the house in a state-of intoxication, and throwing his money about, she put theareiney (10s.) in her pocket to, take care of it. She afterwards accounted to Mr. Ashcroft for -it, and he thanked her for, what she had done. Mr. Heatley, who was called to ,prove the slander, distinctly negatived the statement in the .declaration, as to any imputa tion of dishonesty : on the contrary, the defendant had stated that he had,never found her dishonest, but, he had told him that "she was in the habit of allowing, gentlemen to take great liberties with her, and was not a proper person to be in any respectable house, and that he believed her to be a —." It was entirely in consequence of this -representation that he had declined to take the plaintiff into his service. The mother a the plaintiff was called .toprpee that she had given notice of .her intention to take her 'laughter away ; the defendant's former cook to state that her condnet, as far as she saw, was irreproachable; and Mr. Watson to speak to 'her behaviour, while she was in his service„,which he stated eio have been irreproachable : he added, that he. should be ,perfectly willing"-Lo take her again. The defence was, that the statement made to. Mr. Heatley was not volunteered, but was made bona fide, and, without mfriice, and was therefore privileged. To show that ;he had good ground for making it, Mr. Vinesberg, and himself, and his-nephew were examined, and they described the plaintiff's conduct, while in theilouse, as most immodest and improper. The nephew said he tad complained of it to his ,uncle, and the uncle, that he had given her notice, in consequence of,ter misconduct, before her mother said she would take her away. The attempt t o ki ss wee en ti re l y d en i ed. Verdict for tie plaintiff: damages 40s. A Coznisiora—McCann v. NEWTON.-34. Brett (in structed by Mr. Grimmer), appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Aspinall (instructed by Mr. , flreatley) for the defendant. The action was brought to recover damages for injury done to the plaintiff's " shandry " by a-" float," the property, of the de fendant, which ran into it in - Hanover-street, upset it, broke both shafts, t e nd otherwise so damaged it, that it had cost ,:e-6 13s. 6d. to repair. The plaintiff's wife was also thrown out and very much shaken. The defence was that there was •neither negligence nor want of skill on the part of the de fendant's servant; that the horse -bad run away and defied all the efforts of the driver to restrain . it ; that the width of the street made it impossible to pass the shandry without corning into collision with a.cotton-laden lorry; and that having' een a pure -accident, the defendant was pot liable. Verdict for the plaintiff—damages £5 13s. 6d. SICILIAN v. BATES.-”-A stevedore who had contracted to discharge a -vessel of her ballast, complained that he had been interfered-with in carrying out his contract. First of all by a number of ship -carpenters, and afterwards by another steve dore, wholcame with a larger staff and turnedhim off the work. He sued the defendant, as the owner of the ship, for damages, complainieg also chat, in the course of a quarrel with the in terloping parties, fiche police hod been called, and he had been given into custody. The,answer as to the imprisonment was that the defendant bad had nothing to do with it, and as to the other part of -the ease, that the plaintiff's dilatoriness and neglect to fulfil his engagement, had made it necessary that other parties should be employed. Verdict for the defendant. FALSE IMPRISONMENT.—MARSHALL V. THIRKELL—An action against a brewer for assault and false imprisonment ; the plaintiff, a commission traveller, lately in defendant's ser vice, having been taken into custody by his order, on a charge of embezzlement. The defendant justified, and both the parties were examined at some length. The jury eventually found for defendant. BRAVER v. THE MERSEY AND IRWELL NAVIGATION COMPANY.—An action of trover, for certain crates of crucibles. A person named M`Nair, in April last, kept a public-house in Cleveland-sqnare, and bad a cellar at No. 14, Islington, which he had occupied about a month, and where he carried on business as a commission merchant, under the firm of -Robert MlsTair and Co. A Mr. Lowe, of Manchester, sold the crucibles to M`Nair, and gave them to the defend ant's company to deliver, and M'Nair sold them to Beaver, and endorsed over the freight note to him. Beaver demanded the goods and tendered the freight, but, in the meantime, Lowe had ordered them not to delivered, and the company refused to give them up. The defence was that M'Nair had never any property in the goods, because he had not complied with the conditions on which he was to have them. He was to accept a two months' bill and send it back by return of post, but he had allowed an interval of three or four days to elapse, and in the mean time Lowe had made enquiries, the result of which was unsatisfactory. The evidence as to the contract was conflicting. The Assessor evidently inclined towards the plaintiff, but the jury found for the defendants. GODFREY v. KIMPTON.—An action by an attorney, to re cover the amount of a bill of costs for business in bankruptcy. Verdict by consent, for the plaintiff; damages £4O, subject to a reference. PEMBERTON V. SNITIL—An undefended action on two I 0 IJ's, both parties being solicitors. Verdict for plaintiff, for £136 ls. The Court rose at a quarter-past 11 last night, the causes, 78 in number, having been disposed of ; except one ; which was made a ren3and by consent. COMMERCIAL and MONETARY NEWS. MONDAY NIGHT. NOTWITHSTANDING the hazard of another minis terial crisis and the absence of any accounts from the seat of war of a favourable - nature, the Public Funds have maintained their value duringthe week, the price of Consols having fluctuated during the week not more than I above or below 91. This equability is owing, in a great measure, to the large amount of un employed capital seeking investment counteracted by the preparations making for the anticipated'new loans and the contributions to the French and Turkish Loans. There is little otherwise • deserving of com ment. Business generally is 'quiet, and new enter prises are delayed until Parliament has come to a final decision on the proposed alteration in the law of partnershipi. According to the Bank returns on Friday, the de crease' in the stock of bullion was only £255,170, which may be considered equivalent to an increase when the payment of the dividends is taken into account, as shown by the decrease in Public Deposits of £4,041,336. The increase in " other deposits" is no, less than £2,461,652, while the decrease in " other securities" is £646,973. As far, therefore, as money for commercial purposes is concerned, the market is in a most favourable condition, and the rate of dis count continues low, that for first-class pap er b e i ng below the minimum fixed by the tank of England. Since 'the failure of &RATTAN, PAUL and Co., the Bank 'of England have determined on opening a West 'end branch, and have taken Uxbridge House, Old Durlington-street, for the purpose. The annouce- Thent had the effect of advanCing Bank Stock fully half - per tent. Very" few transactions have taken place in 'the precious metals, the imports during the week 'having been only about £400,000, and the Clports perhaps slightly in excess of this amount. Trade in Manchester has shown a slight tone of im provement, owing principally to a notice haVing been given of a reduction of the hours of labour, which will tend to lessen thetnpply. There are also more favour able accounts from India. The Woollen . Trade con tinues steady, 'the demand being equal to tlit supply, and pieces have 'rather an upward 'tendency. The Hosiery and .ace Trades are without Change. In the ..Corn Markets throughout the country at tempts haverbeen made with but paitial success to re cover the -decline. There is promise of an abundant harvest, but in the mean time supplies will no doubt be short. Our 'SCARE MARKET has experienced a further depresSion `during this week, speculative sales haiing lowered 'rites considerably.. -These are founded On apprehensions still entertained of bad reports 'from the London and North-western and other lines, but we believe that still all these are but conjectures, 'the London report is not yet :prepared, and nobody can knew the dividend. We are informed that the Leeds repoift twill be very good, .a.nd the Midland not' bad : the fact, however, appears to be that the ..pnblic are doing-so little that the Market is a query to the jobbers orthe Stock Exchange, -Who rule prices as they wish. 11061 Stocks are very -steady, and Bank andLlnsurance Shares are in demand' at higher prices.

METALS. — Our Scotch pig Iron market opened hea vily last week,and a rumoured prohibition of shipments of Iron to ihe North of Europe, by an order in Council, brought prices down to 70s. 6d., which was p_aidlere on Friday.

PICKING POCKEZI3 UNDER ACHE EYES OF A PREACHER. — John Kenny, an old man who had the appearance of an Irish reaper, was charged at the Police Court yesterday by a ~,voung man who gave hi s name as H ug h M ac k ay, w i th picking his pocket. Mackay said that he was listening to a preacher on the Exchange flags on S un d ay afternoon, when he felt a pull at his tail pockets. He turned round, and saw the pri soner standing beside him. He then stepped back, and the prisoner stepped into his place. Just then he missed his hand.l:erchief, and beckoned a police inspector. He laid his !hand upon the prisoner's shoulder and saw his pocket hand kerchief, as he thought, drop from between the prisoner's legs ; so he gave him into custody. It was not quite clear that the ,complainant's pocket bad been picked, and as the old man was not known to the police he was dismissed. DROWNING OF Boys.—Reuben French, a little boy, seven years of age, whose parents reside in No. 10, Windsor-view, -was sent briis mother to buy a loaf at the Speakfield cottages, Edge-hill. ,On coming back, he took off his clothes and went into a pit in,a field by the side of Lodge-lane, where he sunk in 15 feet of water. A boy passing saw the loaf and clothes ly ing upon the bank, and gave the alarm to a man in a neigh bouring brick-field, who managed to get the body out, but quite dead. At • an,inquest yesterday, a verdict of " Accidentally drowned" was returned.—John McNabb, 14 years of age, whose father lodges in a room in Mann-street, and who was employed.at the shop of Mr. Levi, outfitter, James-street, left his father on Sunday, saying he was going to dine with a cap tain who had been very kind to him. About nine o'clock, that evening, James Burke, a dock labourer, heard a splash in the Brunswick-dock, and after obtaining the assistance of a police-officer, succeeded in getting out McNabb's body. An inuqest in this ease resulted in a similar verdict. AN EARLY BIRD CAUGHT ON THE WING. — Ann Jones, a good-looking Welsh girl, who had lived as servant with Mr. Thomas Munroe, 29, Marylebone, was brought up at the Police Court yesterday, for plundering her master. The police man on duty caught her "flitting" through the front door about five o'clock in the morning,with a bundle of her mistress's wearing apparel, consisting of shawls, print and other dresses, stuff-petticoats, boots, &e. In her defence she said she was "taking them to be mangled," but as boots seldom undergo that process, her ingenious story was disbelieved, and she was sent to gaol for twenty-one days. Mr. Monroe said he had taken her into his service without a character from motives of charity. The officer said he knew that she had been a common prostitute for at least two months before obtaining her situation. PUNISHMENT or BEGGING IMPOSTORS.—Henry Bale, James Wilkinson, and John Walters, who had been remanded from Saturday, was brought up at the Police-court yesterday as begging impostors. They had been in the habit of going round to houses, representing themselves as " poor men out of work" from Manchester, Stockport, Rochdale, or any locality that they fancied would suit their tale. Amongst other places, they called on a Mr. Lloyd, in Knight-street, and represented that they were unfortunate officers, formerly in the Inland Revenue service, and that one of them was in a consumption. Mr. Lloyd was so moved by their "piteous tale" as to give them two shillings and a bottle of cod liver oil. When they found that the master of a house was not in, they usually tried to bully or frighten the mistress into giving them money. They called at the house of Mr. Councillor Stewart, in Mount-pleasant, where their conduct was so outrageous that they were given into custody. They were each sent to prison for seven days, the magistrate regretting that he could not inflict a heavier punishment. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD LATEST NEWS. THE WAR. The Moniteur of Saturday publishes the subjoined:— CRIMEA, July 19 (11 p.m.) " No new fad. " Cholera entirely ceased." Prince Gortschakoff writes under date of the 16th, that two small sallies made by the garrison on the 14th and 15th, had been rather successful in retarding the enemy's advanced works in front of Korniloff Bastion. From other parts of the Crimea there is nothing important. It is said in Paris that despatches received on Sunday at the Ministry of War contain news to the following effect : " Yesterday evening (the 18th), at nine o'clock, the Russians made a sortie on the Balaklava side with the intention of cutting up the English and turning the division which is operating against the Malakoff, and forcing it to raise the siege of the Tower. The Russians were repulsed with consi derable loss. The works of approach continue. The trenches are now but 40 metres distant from the Malakoff Tower." The Patrie has the following :—" According to our most recent information, the two African regiments expected from Algeria have just landed in the Crimea. The cholera had entirely disappeared from the army in the East, and many of the sick and wounded are leaving the hospitals." Sr. PtTniSBURG, July 21.—The Invande announces the death of Admiral Nachimoff, and the appointment of Admiral Pawsiloff to his command. 1,13 Y ELECTRIC & INTERNATIONAL TELEGRAPHS.

SUPPLE3IgXTARY ESTIMATES. The Gide says the Sapplementary Estimates to be voted by Parliament will amount to £2,725,900, of which £1,141,168 is for the Navy, and £1,584,803 for the Transport Service. is not likely that more will be required for the Army, as the sinn voted already will be more than sufficient for the maintenance of the Land Force. The Naval Estimates are mainly made up of the cost of naval stores, &c. • for the building and repairs of ships, whi c h amoun t s to £1,063,063. 'he remaining items consist of £61,503 for new works, im provements, and repairing yards, and some small sums for rages, meditil stores, &c.

THE 'BALTIC. DESPATCHES FROM GENERAL SIMTSON, AND ADMIRALS LYONS & DUNDAS. Admiral Lyons on the 10th, encloses a letter from Lieutenant Hewitt, commander of the Beagle, reporting the destruction of the Floating Bridge, in the Straits of Genitchi. He praises the conduct of those engaged, and particularly mentions Joseph Trewevas, ordinary seaman, lent from the Agamem non, who cot the hawsers connecting a ferry of two large floats, whiel composed the bridge. They were exposed to a very heavr fire of musketry, but returned the fire and caused great confusion and loss amongst the enemy. The casualties were only two men wounded. Captain Telverton, in the Arrogant, with the Magicienne, and Ruby gunboat, destroyed a large Cossack encampment at Kossunda Bay. Next day they destroyed a Cossack barrack and stables, at the mouth of the river Tortsoiki. In Trang sued Bay, a Russian .man-of-war,•with- •bwo large gunboats, Was perceived, the Ruby opened fire on her, and she soon retired out of range, having, it is thought, received some damage. At the entrance to the sound near Viborg, there were three4arge gunboats and another steamer about a mile off, but.,a 'barrier impeded the passage.of the gunboat and launches. A masked battery opened a heavy fire of musketry, round and grape, which was instantly•retarned by the Ruby and boats. As it was 'impossible to get the Ruby through the barrier, Captain Yelverton returned towards Stralsund. An explosion occurred in the Arrogant's boat ; the men were saved, but Mr. Storey, nidshipman in command,-was killed. Casualties.—Arrogant : Killed : Mr. Storey, midshipman. Woundeld: Lieutenant Woolecombe and six men (one since dead). Magicienne : Wounded, three men. THE FUNDS.

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

The Public Libraries' and Museum Bill passed through committee. _ _ The Piers and Harbours' (Scotland) Bill was read the 2nd time. The Coal Mines' Inspection Bill passed through committee. with amendments. The Earl of AIBLIE asked Lord Pamnure whether govern ment had lately received any information respecting the war in Asiatic Turkey. He described the position of the bellige rent forces in the vicinity of Kars, and pointed out the peril in which the Turkish army was understood to be placed. There was reason to believe that the Russian army might be enabled to act with considerable effect ~.and, indeed, as the Black Sea was closed up against her, and every field of action shut, she had every motive for risking a great blow. Should it go forth to the tribes of Asia that the united power of Eng land and France was unable to resist the power of Russia, the consequences might be extremely serious. The Earl of CLARENDON said government were fully alive to maintaining in Asia the spirit of resistance to Russian aggression. With this view, General Williams had been ap pointed to the command of the Turkish forces, and he had no doubt that, by his spirit and vigour, Kars would be put into an efficient state of defence. The last information was down to the 23rd ult. It stated that the Russians had advanced within range of the batteries at Kars, but they had been re pulsed with loss. He was enabled, on the authority of Gen. Williams, to contradict the report that the Turkish army wds demoralized. Its spirit, on the contrary, is excellent, as the men had been supplied with arms on their own demand, and were always obedient to their officers. There was no appre hension of Kars being taken by a -coup de main The Merchant Shipping Bill passed through committee, after much discussion. The Religious Worship Bin was, after a debate, read a third time and passed. The other orders were disposed of, and the house adjourned at 20 minutes past 8 p.m. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY. The house met .ift 12 o'clock p.m. On the motion of Mr. HATTER, a new writ was ordered for the borough spf Southwark, in the room of Sir W. Moles worth, appointed Secretary of State for the Colonies. NUISANCES REMOVAL BILL. The Nuisances Removal Bill was read the third time, and on the question that it do pass, Mr.- GUILD moved the fol lowing proviso to clause 45 :—" The provisions of the Act shall not'extend or be construed to extend to mines of dif ferent descriptions, so as to interfere with or obstruct the efficient working of the same, or to the efficient working of the same, or to the smelting of ores and minerals, or to the manufacturing of the produce of such ores and minerals." Mr. Mitchel and Mr. Dilwen opposed the amendment. SIR G. GREY opposed it, on the ground that there was no reason why mines should be excepted from the operation of the hill, and also on the ground that the bill would not inter fere vexatiously with those trades. Mr. Muntz, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Wilkinson, and Mr. Pellal supported the proviso. Lord R. Grosvenor and Sir B. Hall opposed it. The House then divided— For the provisio Against it Majority against the government The bill was then passed. The Metropolitan Buildings Bill passed through committee. PASSENGERS' ACT AMENDMENT BILL. The remainder of the morning sitting was in committee on the Passengers' Act Amendment Bill, and the house adjourned shortly before 4 o'clock. The house resumed at 6 o'clock. On the motion of Mr. Hayter, a new writ was ordered for Marylebone, in the room of Sir B. Hall, appointed Chief Com missioner of Works. In answer to Mr. Hamilton, the CHANCELLOR OF TUE Ex- CHEQUER stated that the commissioners appointed to enquire into the subject of decimal coinage were Lord Overstone, Lord Monteagle, and Mr. Hubbard. He had no objection to lay the commission upon the table. In reply to Mr. Mitchel, Lord PALMERSTON said the govern ment had no intention to bring in a bill this session to repeal the act of 1782, disqualifying certain contractors from sitting in parliament, and rendering them liable to heavy penalties in the event of their doing so. In reply to Mr. Bright, Lord PALMERSTON stated that ac counts had been received at the Colonial-office of the transac tions on the coast of Africa, which were now occupying public attention, but none had been received at the Admiralty. He would make inquiry as to what information could be laid before the house. In answer to another question from Mr. Bright, Lord PALMERSTON said the President of the Board of Con trol would take the earliest possible opportunity of bringing on the Indian Budget, but in the present state of public business he could not fix a day for the purpose. THE EXPEDITION TO THE CRIMEA. Mr. DISRAELI, alluding to a statement in Lord J. Russell's speech on Thursday night, begged to ask the noble lord a question in respect to it. The noble lord, in accounting for the expedition to the Crimea, was understood to have stated that one of the principal reasons of it was the refusal of Aus tria to cross the river Pruth. He begged to ask the noble lord his authority for this statement. Lord J. RUSSELL replied that his authority for it was his general recollection of the communications which at that time passed between the Governments of Austria and that of her Majesty. Mr. DISRAELI then put the same question to Lord Pal merston. Lord PALMERSTON said it was impossible for him to answer such questions piecemeal, arising out of a long course of correspondence. All he would say was, that he had always thought the Crimea was the place to strike an effectual blow against the power of Russia. In answer to Mr. Laing, Lord PALMERSTON declined to appoint a day for a dis cussion upon the second Berle. of the Vienna Papers. Mr. LAING thereupon gave notice that he should call attention to these papers. THE TURKISH LOAN. On the report of the resolution respecting the Turkish Loan, Mr. STUART WORTLEY expressed his regret at the division on Friday night, which he attributed to a surprise, and hoped that it might not be taken in Europe as an indication of the real sense of the house upon the question of the loan. He could see difficulties in the form of the convention, and the possibility of various embarrassments arising out of it, from the manner in which each party was made to guarantee the full amount of the loan. But he contended that, admitting these objections, the position of affairs in Europe required that the convention should be adopted. He regretted deeply much of the language that had been used on Friday, bat, still more, that it should have gone forth to Europe, that the British House of Commons should only have carried the con vention by the small majority of three. He did not himself venture to say that the rejection of the terms of this conven tion would endanger the alliance with France, but he cer tainly thought what had occurred would be misunderstood with regard to the war against Russia. Mr. BRIGHT denied that there had been any surprise in the division, and vindicated those who had opposed the con vention. He contended, too, that Mr. Wortley had, by his own showing, established a case for the rejection of the con vention. Condemning the terms of the arrangement, he re marked that the security which it offered upon the revenues of Egypt, Syria, and Smyrna, is, in point of fact, the first step towards a partition of Turkey. Mr. SERGEANT STEEE made a vigorous attack upon Mr. Gladstone for his speech on Friday, and accused him of at tempting to trip up the government, and of questioning the honour of France and of Turkey.. Sir. H. WILLOUGHBY vindicated his vote in favour of the resolution on Friday, and Mr. ALCOCK defended his against it. Mr DEEDES also vindicated his vote on Friday in favour of the convention, on political considerations. Mr. RICARDO said he had opposed the proposition, because he was opposed to our entering once again upon a system of subsidies. He denied that there had been any surprise on Friday ; he was so anxious that the war should be carried on with vigour, that if he thought the course he advised was likely to interfere with warlike proceedings, he would not have brought it forward, but lie could not believe that the rejection of the resolution could for a moment peril the French alliance. Sin DE LACY EVANS contended that the vote had been arrived at by surprise, and he urged that Turkey had acted most energetically in this war. Mr. LAYA.RD declared that the course taken by Mr. Glad stone and his friends on this question, was unwise, unstates manlike, and unpatriotic. The course of Mr. Cobden and Mr. Bright was consistent, but he could not understand that of Mr. Gladstone, to whose speech at Manchester he attri buted the hard terms to which Turkey is obliged to submit in order to negociate the last loan. The present policy of the right hon. gentleman would effectually answer the designs of the enemy. At the same time he admitted that the joint guarantee was impolitic, but he contended that there were high motives of statesmanship why it should be accepted. Turkey was extremely sensitive upon all points of finance, and he gave an animated description of her resources, to shew that there was no reason to fear that this country would have to pay the interest upon the loan. At the same time he earnestly called attention to the progress of the Russians in Asia Minor, expressing a fear that Kars would fall before them. Mr. GLA.DSTONE, after a powerful reply to Mr. Layard and Mr. Shee, warmly vindicated the 'course he had taken on Friday, and pointed out the inconsistency of Mr. Wortley, in absenting himself from the deliberations on that evening, and now con demning them. He defended the right of free deliberation on the part of the house, and remarked that not one man present on Friday had spoken in defence of the arrangement, except the First Lord of the Treasury and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The subject was one of grave importance and difficulty, and being such, it certainly ought not to be made the subject of retrospective lectures from gentlemen who had not thought proper to attend to the discussion. It was not upon financial considerations that he rested his ob jections to the measure, but upon political objections, and here he contended from political considerations arising out of the interpretations of the convention, that, for the sake of pre sent ease, we were really perilling our future alliance with France. He entreated the house to remember that for forty or fifty years we were to be in relations with France, which this convention involved.

Mr. PALK asked a question as to the reinforcements in tended for the Crimea. Mr. PEEL declined to give the information, but said our reserves were going on satisfactorily. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Lord EBRINGTON called the attention of the House to the present state of the proceedings in the Encumbered Estates Court. of Ireland, and he moved that the delays in the court had caused such hardship to the former proprietors of estates sold under its authority have to a serious extent disappointed the expectation entertained when it Iva§ established of its probable efficiency and usefulness. 35 32 -3. A very lengthened discussion took place on this motions which eventually ended in its being negatived. Lord SEYMOUR then called the attention of the house to the course pursued by the Government, in respect to the grant made for the Ordnance Survey of Scotland in the present year. He complained that, in violation of two promises to, the house, that the Treasury had sanctioned the 25-inch scale,. which scale was so large as to be useless except to the landed. proprietors, and as the house had been deceived he called upon. it to express an opinion that would put an end to an under taking that would involve the country in an expenditure of millions for purposes not of a national character. The LORD ADVOCATE said in reply, that if the papers now on the table were carefully considered, it would be found that the Government had pursued a right and proper course. En tering into a history of the survey, he pointed out the incon venience that had arisen from the changes of scale up to 1853, about .which time the opinion of many competent men was given that a larger scale than 6-inch should be adopted, and the larger scale of 25-inch was selected. He then replied to the allegations that the house had been deceived in this respect, contending that fair notice had been gi ven of the intention to survey Ayrshire and Dumfriesshire upon the larger scale. There was no ground for stating that the house had even been taken by surprise. "Where the 25-inch scale had been undertaken it had been continued, but beyond that it would be stopped; at the same time there was an immense preponderance of - opinion in favour of the larger scale. Mr. HENLEY observed that, by the course taken by the government, the vote for the survey had been taken without the house having been made acquainted with the circumstance. Lord PALMERSTON defended the larger survey as of great public interest. After a few observations from Mr. WILLIAMS, the subject dropped. Mr. ALCOCK then called the attention of the house to the state of public opinion on the subject of the Sale of Beer Act of last session, with a view to take steps to repeal that act— allowing public-houses to remain open on Sundays after one o'clock in the afternoon. Sir G. GREY said it was most inconvenient to discuss this question, whilst the committee was yet sitting; until they had reported it could not be considered ; but when the corhmittee reported, then the house wculd deal with the subject. The subject then dropped. _ _ Mr. CRAWFORD then called attention to a paper published in the appendix to the report of the Statute-law Commis sioners by Mr. Bellenden Kerr, which, he said, was not referred to in the report, and which was not a paper either discussed by or laid before the other commissioners. It was then ordered that the committee of supply should be taken on Thursday. On the motion that the Limited Liabilities Bill be postponed till 12 o'clock to-morrow, Mr. MircirELL opposed it; and the house divided— For the motion Against it • Majority The other orders were then disposed of, and the house ad journed at 2 o'clock, a.m. WEST INDIES.

The principal evidence was given by a boy, named Thomas Murphy, son of the pri soner Murphy, who had been admitted to turn approver. He does not bear a good character, having been in prison for week for obtaining money by representing himself as co a n nected with the detective office.
