IT was generally expected that another attempt at a demonstration in Hyde-park would be made on Sunday, and the expectation was partly realized People began to pour into Hyde-park in the afternoon, by two o'clock, as if there had been no such thing as a policeman or soldier in existence, and by three a concourse had assembled little inferior in point of numbers to the monster gathering of the previous Sunday, the park being left to their undisputed occupation; for the police were not paraded upon the ground in strong detach ments, nor hidden behind trees, or in the gardens near the barracks, or in the Humane Society's house, as was the case before; not more than about twenty men of the A division being visible, stationed in couples in various parts of the park, quite away from the general gathering point, and at the park gates, especially at the entrance to the grand drive, to warn the occupants of carriages not to pass that way, owing to which only two or three gigs and a couple of horsemen passed along the drive during the afternoon. Those who thus faced the crowd were received with cries of "Go to church" from a lot of noisy boys, but, to judge by their laughter, more to their amusement than annoyance. The crowd, finding nothing to expend its energies upon, gradually broke up into clusters, and meetings, if they could be so called, were held in various parts, where speeches were delivered by persons having the appearance of working men. Altogether— with the exception of the boys—the conduct of the men was beyond cavil, although the aggregate of the assemblage was less respectable in poi n t o f d ress th an on th e prev ious occasion. Everything proceeded, if noisily, at least peaceably, until about 5 o'clock, when a crowd of boys, finding no carriages to hoot at in the park itself, rushed out at the Apsley house-gate, and commenced hooting carriages passing down Grosvenor place, following them into Belgrave-square, upon the east side of which they found a quantity of straw spread over the car riage way, in consequence of the illness of the Earl of Sefton, who resides in the adjoining house, and to which, piling it in heaps, they proceeded to set fire, to the terror of the neigh bourhood. A gentleman coming out of one of the houses expostulated with them upon their conduct, but the only reply was a volley of stones, which had the effect of driving him in -doors, and his assailants then proceeded to smash the windows of that and the adjoining houses, breaking all in the lower rooms, which were not protected by sun-blinds. They then proceeded down H a lki n - s t ree t, smas hi ng the windows on each side, and out to Grosvenor-place (at its upper end), where they did the same. Then retracing their steps along the east side of Belgrave-square, they recommenced opera tions in Upper Belgrave-street, smashing all the lower win dows indiscriminately; and along the east side of Eaton square, where, especially at Farrance's Hotel, the smashing was frightful. Wilton-street was next submitted to a similar process ; and in the lower part of Grosvenor-place scarcely a pane of glass in the lower apartments was left whole. They next tried their hands in Grosvenor-street West, in habited principally by tradesmen, and were in full operation when the approach of a strong detachment of the D division of police put a stop to their wanton spoliation, and scattered them at once. Detachments from the A, B, L, and other divisions were speedily upon the spot, and prevented anything like a recommencement of hostile operations. They took pos• session of the parts attacked, prepared to give every protection that might be required. It was immediately after the com mencement of the outrages just recorded that an occurrence took place at the upper end of Grosvenor-place, nearly opposite Halkin-street, which threatened for a moment or two to as sume the serious features of a popular outbreak. An inspector of police was passing southward, from the park, accompanied by three constables, when a stone was thrown, which struck one of the latter on the face. The officer turned round, and seized a man whom he supposed had thrown the stone, but he denied the fact. The constable, however, persisted; and with his companions proceeded to drag the man along, when the crowd interfered for his rescue, closing upon the police, who at once drew their truncheons, and laid about them right and left. The people gave back blow for blow, using sticks and stones freely, and in the end bonnetted the police, who, being overpowered by numbers, were compelled to give up their prisoner. Elated by this tri umph, the mob exhibited symptoms of a disposition to use their power arbitrarily, by refusing to allow carriages to pass, but the second vehicle happened to be the cabriolet of Lord Cardigan, whose features being recognised, the word was passed along, and the crowd opening with a loud outburst of cheers, his lordship passed freely along, with all the triumph of a popular ovation, which he acknowledged by bowing from side to side. Directly afterwards the police arrived in force, and with very great temper and moderation cleared the car riage way, and advised the mob to disperse. Gradually the crowd thinned, many people passing back into the park, but the majority trudging homewards. The window breaking occupied not more than a quarter of an hour, and was the work of boys and lads of the lowest grade, sympathised with, and perhaps incited, by some of those disreputable characters who are always to be found at large as semblages. The police were kept on duty during the whole of the even ing, and large numbers of people continued to assemble in and near the park until dusk, but fortunately without the occur rence of further outrage. Among those whose windows have been more or less in jured are his Excellency Count Kielmansegge, (the Hanoverian Minister,) Sir James Graham, the Dowager Countess of Somers, the Duke of Marlborough, Farrance's Hotel, the Earl of Gifford, the Hon. Mrs. Arden, Sir J. Buller East, M.P., Admiral Sir George Seymour, Sir Duncan Macdougall, the Earl of Sefton, the Archbishop of York, the Duke of Mon trose, Lord Charles Wellesley, and very many others. Ad miral Seymour, on coming out of his house to remonstrate with the mob, received a violent blow on the head with a large Stone, and before he could get within doors he received a second blow with a similar missile on the side of his head, from which the blood flowed freely. He was assisted into the house by his servants. The destruction at the Duke of Marl borough's, at Farrance's Hotel, the Hanoverian Minister's, and Lord Charles Wellesley's, was very great. BABIES BY THE HUNDHED.—OH the Ist of April, a train on the Michigan Southern Railroad, from Adrain to Chicago, numbered twenty-three cars, twenty-one of which contained nine hundred and fifty-four passengers, and there were twenty five babies in each car, or an aggregate of 225 babies—bound to Chicago and the West.—American paper. A MONSTER SIXPENNY EXCURSION.-0/1 Monday, many thousands of the poorer inhabitants of Christchurch, Surrey, and its vicinity, through the benevolence of the rector, the Rev. Mr. Brown, and a committee of ladies and gentlemen, left the South-Western Railway terminus for Richmond, and other places, for a day's excursion, at the small sum of six pence for each passenger, the rest of the expenses being defrayed by the rev. gentleman, the committee, and some wealthy in habitants of the parish. OUR readers may remember a certain Mr. Edward O'Flaherty. the pet of the Popish Brigade and the Peelites, and, by favour of his political friends and patrons, once upon a time Irish Commissioner of Income-tax, who made himself scarce some time ago, and departed in the odour of forgery. A recent trial in the Irish Court of Queen's Bench has set the seal of evidence upon the rumours current at the time, and there can no longer be any doubt, nor need there be any delicacy in stating, that the boon companion and confidential adviser of more than one member of the Aberdeen Cabinet is a common forger.—John Bull. b g The Imperial Society of Acclimatation" has just closed its session by a sitting at which some interesting communications were made.

M. Guerin Meneville exhibited to the mem bers some pieces of plush of great beauty made by a manufac turer of Paris from the silk of the oak worms. PRESENTATION OP A BURMESE BELL TO THE CITY OP Yoatc.—Our readers will probably be aware that the officers of the 51st Regiment had decided on presenting the city of York with a bell which was taken at the capture of Rangoon, in April, 1853, in which achievement that gallant regiment took distinguished part. Arrangements were subsequently made by the Lord Mayor for the reception of the curiosity, and the interesting ceremony took place on Tuesday last. The bell, which weighs nearly 6 cwt., and is covered with Burmese characters, said to be quotations from Bhuddist works, arrived in the morning of that day, and was suspended from a triangle in the Guildhall. Captain Irby (who presented the bell) said he had been commissioned by the officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers of the 51st Regiment, to present the trophy of war before them to the ancient city of York. The bell had been brought from Burmah, having been captured at Rangoon by the 51st Regiment, who played no mean part there during the late war. The bell was captured from a pa goda at Rangoon, and the regiment valued it as a memorable trophy of their success during the Burmese war.—York Hera - - THE most interesting topic of discussion lately has been the cause of the failure of the attack on Sebas topol on the 18th of June. It appears, from all the accounts which have been received---the official de spatches both of the English and French Generals, and the letters of several correspondents---that, al though there was much blundering and confusion of arrangements, no especial blame attached to any indi vidual in particular. There was evidently much anxiety on the part of the Allied troops to comme morate the anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo by a general rivalry to excel each other in feats of bravery, and to mark the day by a crowning achievement which would realize the long delayed expectations of the capture of Sebastopol. It is not denied that judi cious arrangements had been made for the accomplish ment of this object ; but unfortunately the best designs may be irretrievably damaged by an apparently trivial accident. As the various divisions of the attacking army were necessarilydout of reach of receiving direct instructions for their operations, it was concerted that the party in advance should be guided by the signal of a discharge of star-rockets ; but, while waiting for this sign, the officer in command observed a shell with a blazing fuse, and, mistaking it for a rocket, gave the order to advance, though contrary to the advice of his staff. There was, no doubt, an enthusiastic desire to be the first ; but, unfortunately, the movement was precipitate, the attacking party were not properly sup ported, from those intended to support them being too far in the rear. This necessarily created confusion as far as the arrangements of the French were concerned for the assault on:the Malakhoff Tower ; whilst the English, unwilling that their part of the duty, which Was an attack on the Redan, should be unnecessarily delayed, gallantly advanced before the French were in actual possession of the Malakhoff. The result was almost inevitable. The French failed owing to the officer in command mistaking the signal, and thereby anticipating the movement ; and the English failed because the Redan, being commanded by the other fort, their position, however, gallantly acquired, was utterly untenable so long as the guns of the Malakhoff were in possession of the enemy. It is said that the subsequent plan decided upon is to proceed by sap, and that the operations of General PELISSIEE for this pur pose are progressing favourably. Whilst, however, great credit is due to all the parties engaged for the consummate bravery which was displayed, the officers fearlessly leading on their men, as shown by the great disproportion in the lists of killed and wounded, it has been remarked that the probabilities of success would have been enhanced had the operations of the Allies been concentrated on the Malakhoff, although it is also urged that the assault on the Redan was so far useful inasmuch as it served to divert the attention of the Russians. Supposing, however, the Malakhoff to be gained, the conquest of the Redan would be comparatively easy, as it is com pletely commanded by the guns of the former. In deed, it is now evident that the Malakhoff is the key to the whole fortress ; and that, whether taken by as sault or by sap, its possession by the Allies would give them complete command of the town and harbour of Sebastopol. But while the interest of the war is thus in a mea sure centred on this renowned fortress,tothe exclusion THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Zbis nay.

WE have received several inquiries from subscribers as to whether we intend to follow the example of some of our Radical con temporaries, and publish oftener than once a-week. We may state that we have no such intention, unless, indeed, the disin terested patriotism of some of our wealthy readers would guarantee us against the heavy loss which would inevitably result from such a course, not only to ourselves, but to our sub scribers. It may sound very plausible to publish two unstamped papers a-week at the price of one stamped, but the consequence would be a mutual loss ; for while the Standard, with the stamp, which we now sell at -lid., may be transmitted free through the post any number of times for fifteen days, two unstamped papers containing no more news than the one, and costing.fie e pence, would require a penny additional for each paper every time they were sent by post, making a weekly charge of seven pence to the country subscriber, with an extra charge if he wishes to send his paper to a friend. Indeed, this pretended boon to the public, in the removal of the penny stamp, will be found, like some other legislative boons, to be in reality an additional tax, as shown in the instance of the London Times, which is now charged a halfpenny more for the stamed copy, and then is liable to a postage, unless in folding the stamp be exposed to view; while the unstamped charged at fourpence is liable to a postage of twopence. correspondent has remarked that, while there are TWENTY-six RADICAL PUBLICATIONS issued each week in Liverpool, there are only THREE OF CONSERVATIVE POLITICS. That this is no evidence of a corresponding preponderance of political feeling, has been abundantly shown in several contested elections. It is, however, the best proof that could be adduced of the advan tage of advertising in Conservative papers. We have already given the public the full benefit, and something more, of the change in the law by reducing the price of the Standard, and publishing a gratuitous supplement in addition, and we are sure that a weekly paper of these dimensions is far cheaper to sub scribers than more frequent publication, with the additional expenses involved in the transmission. While our contempo raries are engaged in a competition of price, we are content to make quality the test of cheapness, and we are satisfied that our subscribers will have no difficulty in discovering that both objects—quality and cheapness —are more effectually secured by a weekly paper of the dimensions and at the price now charged for the Standard than by more frequent issues, nomi nally cheaper, hut in reality much dearer.

PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS. THE business of legislation is now progressing with railroad speed through the House of Commons, as though the members had become wearied with their own long and useless speeches, and were at length desirous of bringing the session to a close. After wasting about six months, in doing what may be called literally nothing, but discussing abstract propo sitions and impracticable projects, they have at length discovered, that it would be as well to have something to show, as the result of their labours ; and accord ingly a number of Bills are being hurried through the several stages required by the forms of Parliament, without much regard to their consistency, or even their grammatical construction. This is a vicious system, which is year by year increasing, and for which there appears no adequate remedy, until we have a really strong Government with sufficient moral courage to compel attention to important measures at an earlier period of the session, and firmly resist those repeated adjournments, by which so many Bills are postponed, until deliberation is altogether out of the question. It is, indeed, difficult to tell which course is the most productive of mischievous results, the purposeless discussions of the greater part of the session, or the hasty and careless legislation by which Bills are hurried to maturity at the close. The mem bers become wearied by long sittings, until at length but few are left to take part in the business, and then Bills which may have a serious influence on the com munity are passed, and sent up to the Lords, who must either reject them or agree to them as they are, from their utter inability to pay any attention to the details. It is such a course of proceeding which renders necessary so many acts to amend and explain former acts, until the Statute Book becomes a mass of confu sion, and laws intended to effect one object are decided by learned judges to enact the direct contrary. There was a time, and that not many years since, wlien Dills sent up from the IHOIISe of 6,inunms were rendered most efficient, through the care which was bestowed on their construction in the House of Lords : and this was not to be wondered at, considering the many able and experienced lawyers who transacted most of the business of legislation there. All this, however, has been rendered impracticable through the majority of Bills being left to the very end of the Session, so that barely time is afforded for the neces sary forms to be gone through, without a possibility of deliberation. THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL. of almost all other details, it is the opinion of many that the numerous army which has now been collected might be advantageously employed in meeting the enemy in the open field, so as more effectually to com plete the investment of Sebastopol, and shut out the possibility of further reinforcements or supplies. Should this object be efficiently accomplished, a suc cessful termination to the long protracted siege cannot be far distant ; and if Sebastopol were once fairly in possession of the Allies, there would be no great diffi culty in clearing the Crimea of the Russians. It is, of course, not easy to say to what extent Russian obstinacy may proceed rather than give up its long cherished policy of universal dominion ; but, with the mastery of the Black Sea, the Allies would be in a position to dictate terms of peace even more stringent than those which were rejected at Vienna. THE GOVERNMENT AND THE BUILDING SOCIETIES. HOWEVER ready the Government may be to suc cumb to popular agitation, when it is vigorously pressed, they have not much delicacy on the subject when the interest to be assailed is weak in everything but the justice of its claim. By an act passed in the 6th and 7th of WILLIAM IV., which was specially intended for the regulation of benefit building socie ties, they were exempted from stamp duties on trans fers, mortgages, and all other documents, the object being to encourage the extension of such societies, by way of promoting industrious and prudent habits amongst the middle and humbler classes. Of the wisdom of such a provision, there could hardly be a second opinion ; for there is perhaps no stronger security for the maintenance of loyal feelings and the preservation of order than the possession of real pro perty, for which the operations of these societies afforded great facilities. Experience had proved that in the majority of instances they had been most suc cessfully carried out, and the number of them exist ing in Liverpool, Manchester, and other large towns prove the favour with which they have been received. It was, therefore, with great surprise, not unmixed with feelings of indignation, that it was discovered that an insidious attempt had been made by the government to deprive Building Societies of the advantage which they had so long enjoyed in their freedom from stamp duties—fn advantage, indeed, which formed the main ground of their prosperity. In the Friendly Societies Bill, a measure which has no reference whatever to Building Societies, a clause was introduced to deprive the latter societies of their exemption from stamp duties, and, notwithstanding the opposition of several members and the earnest remonstrances of a deputation from the Building Societies of this and other towns, the clause, with some slight modification, was passed through the House of Commons, and the bill was sent up to the House of Lords. There the clause was objected to by Lord RAVENSWORTH, who was met by the plea that it was a breach of the privileges of the Lower House to interfere with any money clause in a bill. This, however, did not deter the Earl of DERBY from opposing such a surreptitious mode of legislation, and when the bill was in committee he moved that the clause be struck out, so as to leave the Building Societies in the same position as they were before, and confine the bill to its ostensible object of dealing with Friendly Societies. Upon a division, the motion was successful, and the Building Societies, grateful to the Earl of DERBY and the peers who voted with him, considered themselves safe from the threatened assault, at least for the present session. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER appears to be unwilling, however, to lose any opportunity of re cruiting the national finances, when it can be done at the expense of the weak. A demand had been made for reduction of the duty on stage carriages, because, as it was alleged, the duty affected the breeding of horses for the army. The proposed reduction would sacrifice £50,00n of National Tnenme. but as he linel ... given up half a million to gratify a senseless cry about taxes on knowledge, he could not refuse this small boon to omnibus proprietors, particularly when it was backed with the plea that more horses were wanted for HER MAJESTY'S cavalry, though it would be difficult to discover in what way an increase of stage carriages could promote this object. But even this sacrifice of revenue must not be made without some show of obtaining compensation, and, accordingly, a second attempt is made to impose stamp duties on Building Societies, notwithstanding the positive re jection of the scheme by the House of Lords. In Committee on the Stage-Carriage Duties, some other resolutions relating to stamps were appended to it, and amongst them the rejected clause, which was passed without the members not in the secret being aware of its object ; but on bringing up the report on Friday, the ministers were taxed with the deception, when Mr. WILSON stated that the resolution which limited the exemption to sums not exceeding £240 had been framed in order to carry out an arrangement that he had entered into with a deputation who had conferred with him upon the subject. This is only true in part, for the deputation were opposed to the whole measure; but, finding the Government unwilling to yield, those members of it who represented societies the majority of whose transactions were below £240 agreed to that amount being the limit of exemption as being all their interest in the question. The question has, however, been once decided upon this session and rejected, and if the Government should persist in a course which can only be termed an act of tyranny and oppression, it is to be hoped that the EARL of DERBY and those who voted with him on the former occasion will justify their character for consistency and again reject the obnoxious measure. [JULY 10, 18 dification of the arrangement has been ra , now determined that the soldier shall additional sixpence a day, and the remai be invested for the ultimate benefit of representative. The subject underwent some diseussl' House of Lords on Thursday, the Earl BOROUGH stating his belief that, if the NA listment were raised to £2O a man, it wool' more economical arrangement for the ' prove more effectual as a stimulus to the plan proposed by the Government the question may be true in some respects' tainly would not tend to enhance the In( army, inasmuch as, in many cases, it would encouraging habits of dissipation by giving made soldier the means of indulging them wanted is a better system of promotion, private soldier may have a laudable and a' time a practicable object of ambition. If ments, such as the Guards, had addition other advantages, and admission made good conduct, instead of a particular ' sonal appearance, the soldier would have fairly within his reach ; for it must ever be mind that prospective rewards are of JO stimulants to emulation, unless there be a probability of att a i n i ng th em. While 10' serving officer at a time can attain she Commander-in-Chief, hundreds of priv ai4 might be drafted into crack regimen` change be esteemed as a sufficient re good services. Unfortunately, however, soldier has but little to excite his ambit' chances being few, they are consequ, garded. 4:krZoti 4 041 8%4 to:,S tl kb,frca b e , If 17% or ' kNk (i o N s ws _ l itga rt t is k4 t otri kt — ' d .Nli k t t kltt et wa: vt ' i ki t ! t t , s _tlat Art,,,"41 , of ; 1(1,) _____-........„,, . 1 THE ADULTERATION OF FOY ' . 0 .45..

THE check which was given to recruiting for the army, by the many harrowing details which were pub lished of the sufferings and privations endured by the army in the Crimea through the winter, has never been thoroughly got over. When the war broke out, and a call was made for men to serve against the Russians, the spirit of enthusiasm knew no bounds, and the difficulty experienced by those engaged in recruiting referred more to selecting the best men among the numerous applicants than in inducing men to offer their services. Even when the news arrived of the great victory at Alma, and subsequently at Balaklava and Inkerman, the long lists of killed and wounded seemed to operate rather as stimulants than other wise, and applicants for admission to the army were more numerous than ever. When, however, it became known that, through official mismanagement, our soldiers were subject to dangers not inflicted by the enemy, and that more perished from such causes than those who fell in the battle-field, the desire for enlist ing rapidly diminished. The risk of death had to be encountered with little probability of military glory, and those who hesitated not to meet it at the hand of the enemy, shrank from the encounter with cold, hunger, and neglect.
