[ADVERTISEMENT.] THE ICE TRADE To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD, Stit,—We are, in justice to ourselves, and to secure the con sumers of :ce from imposition, again obliged to notice the advertisement of Messrs. J. H. Roles and Co., now appearing in some of the Liverpool papers. They say "that only from them and their agents can the Wenham Lake Ice be procured, &c." We are in a position to prove that they have not im ported one ptund of Wenham Lake Ice since 1848; at the same time, it is only right that the consumers of Ice should know that Wenham Lake, as well as all other American Ice, is of a very inferior quality this year, owing to the very short frost in America last winter, in proof of which, we refer to the New 'York and Boston press of March and April. They again say that "they have a small shipment of Norway, such as is sold exclusive by other dealers," and they call it "a low-priced article." We know it to be very inferior to any other Norway Ice imported this year, simply because it was cut a month too soon, during the first thaw, and long before the intense cold of the last winter, in the Baltic, set in. But they are quite silent as to the qualities of a third sort of Ice, which comprises a large Portion of their present stock, and is now selling by them under the borrowed name of AlVenham Lake Ice, and therefore is used by the gentlemen wbtS patronise them, or take refreshments in hotels or other places, supplied by them, as if it was Ice of the purest sort ; yet this large portion of their stock was collected during the last frost from off the pits sopregnant with impurities in the neighbourhood of Liverpool. Had they advertised their business honestly,we would be happy to take no notice of them, but the temerity with which they put forth misstatements im peratively demands frotn us this exposure. They may say that this Ice was collected by them to supply Fishmongers; but that cannot be, for Fishmongers amply supplied them selves during the same frost. Again, to gentlemen that will hereafter question them, they may say they got it to supply •steamers ; but we know that no taptain, if he knew it, would allow the provisions he supplies his passengers with to be im pregnated with the impurities of the pits about this town. We are the only parties in Liverpool who confine their busi ness to pure Spring-water Ice, and our arrangements this year have been most fortunate. We have just completed the ware housing of 750 tons of the most splendid Ice ever imported to Liverpool, the blocks averaging 4 cwt., and will feel happy in submitting it to the inspection of any gentleman who may kindly, call on us for that purpose. _ _ . .

UNPROVOKED CASE OF STABBING.—The knife still continues to be a fa m ili a r name in our criminal courts, and a popular weapon in our streets. Yesterday at the Police-co ur t a seaman , name d G eorge K eet ing, was com mitted for trial on a charge of making a most unprovoked and wanton assault upon a young Scotch couple, husband and wife, whom h e h a d never seen i n h i s l if e before his attack upon them, and who had not given him the slightest cause for his disgraceful and dangerous practice with the knife. From the statement of William Peebles, baker, and his wife Ann, it appeared that on Sunday afternoon they were quietly seated at the fireside of a friend who lives in No. I Court, B roo k -street, when the prisoner Keeting opened the door and asked for drink. The good woman of the house said he was mistaken, that was not the house he wanted, whereupon he went away. He had not been long gone, however, befo re h e returned, and this time the mistress said she thou g ht hi s coming back to her private dwelling looked "very like a piece of imperti nence," and rather smartly she desired him to begone. With this, however, the fellow did not comply ; but, in stead of doing so, applied a great many opprobrious epi thets to the decent woman, who, being " a lawful married wife," resented the insults. and told him once more to go. Instead of doing this Keeting took a knife out of his pocket and staished Mrs. Peebles in the eye ; the husband rose to protect his wife, when the regardless visitor turned t o him and st a bb e d hi m i n th e arm an d lips very seriously. 1 he prisoner told a cock-and-bull story, to the effect that the woman had attacked him with a long pole for the pur pose of robbing him, as he thought, and that this had led hial to make the attack which wag alleged agaitat him. Etberpoot :°Qtanbarb, TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 28, 1853. THE REPRESENTATION OF LIVERPOOL. THE whole town was in a state of the greatest excitement on Tuesday, as the decision of the Com mittee on the Election Petition was momentarily expected by Electric Telegraph; and it was not until late in the afternoon that we were enabled to announce in a Third Edition that the report was unfavourable to Messrs. TURNER and MACKENZIE, although it completely exonerated them from all blame, and vindicated the Constituency from the foul aspersions which had been levelled at it. The first and most important consideration was, as to the selection of Candidates to supply the va cancy, particularly as notice was given for the issue of the writ on the following Tuesday (this day) ; and though two names had been already before the public, and freely canvassed, no announcement was made until the following morning, when the town was posted with bills, declaring the Hon. HENRY THOMAS LIDDELL and Mr. THOMAS BERRY HORSFALL to be the Candidates intended to be put in nomination on the part of the Conservatives. While the inquiry was yet pending, we stated that, should the result be unfavourable, as might be pos sible, from the constitution of the Committee, the Conservatives could not make a better selection than Mr. T. B. HOESFALL and Mr. J. BRAMLEY- MoonE, both of whom were townsmen, well known, and appreciated, from their high standing and intimate acquaintance with the commercial interests of the town; and we have reason to believe that this suggestion was favourably received by a considerable number of the constituent body. It appears, however, that a consultation of some of the leading Conservatives led to a selection of one of the names we suggested,—the propriety of which must have been obvious to all,—and the declaration of an opinion, that it was pre ferable to have a stranger of parliamentary experience for the second seat; and, carry ing out this view, the Hon. HENRY THOMAS LIDDELL was proposed, and at once accepted. Since then, several Ward meetings have been held, and no attempt has, as yet, been made to disturb the arrangement. Indeed, the Radicals seem pa ralysed by their fruitless victory, and the opinion is gaining ground that the Conservatives will be allowed to carry the election without a contest. We may state that the Hon. HENRY THOMAS LID DELL, who is the eldest son of Lord RAVENS.. WORTH . , is in his fifty-seventh year, and was in Parliament so far back as 1826, when he was re turned for the county of Northumberland, and sup ported Mr. CANNING, as minister, until the death of the latter. He was returned for North Durham in 1837, and in the last parliament sat for South Shields, having defeated Mr. INGHAM, the chair man of the Liverpool Election Committee, who re turned the compliment at the last election. It will thus be seen that he has had considerable experience I in Parliamentary business; and his position, as a member of the aristocracy, with the prospect of an early succession to the peerage—his father being nearly fourscore years of age—leave no reason to doubt his eligibility for the distinction which is sought at the hands of the electors. While, however, we cordially concur in the pro priety of preserving that unity of action in the Conservative body—which is the certain element of success—so as to leave no point of which our poli tical opponents may take advantage, we see no reason to alter the opinion which we have previously expressed, that Mr. BRANILEY-MOORE would have been, in every respect, a most eligible candidate. His principles, his business habits, his commercial experience, and the many good qualities which he would have brought into the service of his fellow townsmen, must be too well known to need recapi tulation; and we shall content 'ourselves with the reflection that we have done our part in calling attention to them. We cannot conclude these brief remarks without paying that tribute of gratitude which is justly due to Mr. CHARLES TURNER, for the services which he has rendered to his fellow-townsmen during the short time which he has represented them in Par liament ; and it is a feeling which we may confi dently say is shared by nearly the whole of his con stituents. He has been indefatigable in his attend ance in the House of Commons, and on all ques tions affecting the shipping and commercial inte rests of the port he has taken a prominent part in the discussion ; his vote on every occasion has been in direct accordance with the principles upon which he was returned ; he has been accessible at all times to all who required his aid or assistanc e ; and his fitness to occupy the high position to which he had attained, was fully recognised in the cordial manner in which he was received by the leading members of the great Conservative party, and the respect with which he was always listened to in the House of Commons. He returns to his consti tuents with his honour not only untarnished, but rendered brighter by the ordeal which it has under gone ; and whenever the opportunity shall occur of again returning him as the Representative of Liverpool, his position at the head of the poll will show the distinguished place which he occupies in the good opinion of his fellow-townsmen.

THE GREAT MEETING AT THE AMPHITHEATRE.—We regret that a pressure of election and other late news prevents our giving at greater length the admirable speeches delivered on Thursday last, at the Amphitheatre meeting, in behalf of the Church of England Education Society. We understand, however, that a full report of the speeches in question will appear in pamphlet-form, in the course of a few days. THE "MERCURY" AND THE LETTER-CARRIERS.—A corres pondent, who gives us his name, says :—" Messrs. Graham and Adlard, the two letter-carriers who were summoned before the Parliamentary Committee of the Liverpool Elec tion Inquiry, on the grave charge of having detained several circulars belonging to the voters of Cardwell and Ewart,' have recently waited on the editor of the Mercury to request the publication of their letter, refuting the statements made by the Walthews ; but, instead of having their wish com plied with, it was peremptorily refused. This is a fair illus tration of the boasted Liberal principles of the Mercury; it is well known that a full report of the evidence against the carriers, by the witnesses referred to, was inserted in its pages ; and surely, in common justice to these men, whose situations were at stake, it ought to have given publicity to their statement also, especially as they had no opportunity of giving their evidence before the committee." A VOTER FOR FORBES MACKENZIE.—We do not agree with our correspondent. Mr. Mackenzie has not been proved to be guilty of any act of which either he or his supporters need be ashamed, notwithstanding the part which he took in other elections. At the same time, if the worst which his enemies say of him be true, we should be the last to sanction such a cowardly attack. We are not, and never were, under the slightest obligation to Mr. Mackenzie ; but we utterly repu diate the dastardly practice of maligning a man when there is no longer anything to hope for from his favour, or to dread from his opposition. J. J. KENSINGTON.—The expenses of election inquiries are paid for by the individuals interested. The money he alludes to as having been voted by Parliament was for those addi tional investigations which are considered preliminary to disfranchisement. "G. O."—We know nothing of the proceedings of the Carlton Club, nor have we any desire to assume the position of an independent Conservative paper, and yet accept of bribes, under the name of support, from any quarter whatever. stant of going to press, we learn that the Radicals have at last found a candidate, and that an address from Sir HENRY L. BULWER is being printed, and will be issued this morning. Sir HENRY BUL -IVER is best known to the public from his having been Ambassador of Madrid, where he carried out the Palmerstonian profession of non-interference, on the Radical interpretation of interfering to such an extent, that he was peremptorily dismissed by the QUEEN OF SPAIN, and for a time a war with that country was considered inevitable. THE LIVERPOOL ELECTION PETITION. IT is said of a celebrated General, that when con gratulated on a victory which he had just achieved, he replied :—" One more such victory, and I am ruined." This appears to be a somewhat similar condition to that of the Petitioners in the recent inquiry, who, having slandered the Electors of Liverpool and defied them to a trial of the accusa tion before a Parliamentary Committee, have obtained their verdict, and may now ruminate on the consequences. We can easily fancy the mortifica tion with which the Radicals witnessed the defeat of their Candidates, at the last Election, when the Conservative majorities showed by their overwhelm ing numbers the utter hopelessness of Liberalism obtaining an ascendancy in the capital of commerce ; but their feelings on that occasion must have been calm content, compared with the bitter sense of humiliation, akin to despair, under which they are now suffering. After an expenditure amounting to £12,000, or something more, they have, by the aid of a pliant Committee, gained their ostensible object of unseating the late members, but for what purpose, when they cannot avail themselves of the vacancy, from thorough conviction of the inutility of attempting a contest ? The real design was to make out a case of systematic corruption, with the view of demanding from the Legislature the dis franchisement of the Freemen, and in this they have been miserably defeated. The Committee, so far from sympathising with the movement, have strained the law beyond its fair and legitimate spirit, in order to give the Petitioners that modicum of satisfaction which is comprised in the unseating of the members ; but in their report, which we have given in full in another column, they have amply justified the Freemen from the aspersions which were cast upon them, purified the reputation of 1 , the Constituency from the stain thrown upon it by Liberal candidates at previous Elections, and partially extinguished the hopes in which the Radicals presumed to indulge. No marvel, then, that the chivalrous Messrs. RATHBONE, jun., and Co. were received by their political allies with angry recrimination, and upbraided with having deceived their friends into playing such an expen sive and yet losing game; for they are in an infi nitely worse position now than they would have been had they prudently submitted to the decision of the Electors, and allowed Messrs. TURNER and MACKENZIE to retain their seats. With regard to the Representation, they must still be content with its being in the hands of the Conservatives : they have destroyed all chance whatever of depriving the Freemen of their Franchise, and they have so disgusted every honest and intelligent man of their own party, that their cause—weak as it was before —has been materially impoverished. Never had professing Radicals greater cause to say, " Save us from our friends" than now, when they have been so wretchedly deceived. They were told, and their or gans were instructed to echo the tale, that the last Election, when submitted to parliamentary investi- gation, would present such an exposure of demoral- ising corruption, that nothing but the unsparing exercise of the pruning knife of disfranchisement would restore the Liverpool Constituency to a whole- Alas, for the folly of building hopes some state upon the insecure foundation of Radical promises. Thousands of pounds have been expended, more than a hundred witnesses have been examined, legal ingenuity has been taxed, and assertions exaggerated to the verge which separates truth from falsehood ; and, after all, that Committee, which, from its con stitution of three Liberals to two Conservatives, was boasted of, as being favourable to the views of the Petitioners, have reported, that nothing from all this volumnious testimony has been elicited to justify any further enquiry, to delay the issue of a new writ, or to impugn that electoral purity which was so Liberally attacked. Well was it observed, that no two members in the House of Commons who had stood a contest were more justly entitled to their seats than Messrs. TURNER and MACKEN ZIE ; the decision is practically and essentially a Conservative triumph, as signal as that which marked the election ; and we leave the Radicals, who would not be content with their previous dis comfiture, to chew the cud of bitter mortification at their present double defeat, which has annihilated their position as a party in Liverpool, and into which they have been betrayed by the overweening confidence of their own partisans, without even the poor consolation of the credit of sincerity, after the admission by Mr. RATHBONE of the offer of a com promise. Sic transit gloria Radicales. the Bill may be judged from the allegations in the petitions against it, one of which, presented by Lord JOHN RUSSELL with much form, purported to emanate from the Nuns of an establishment in Essex. They stated that they were free to go out and come in, and to receive and visit their friends when they pleased, and they prayed the House not to subject them to such inquisitorial visitation as was proposed. If their allegations be true, they have nothing to dread from the Bill, for they would not be subject to its operation ; but we have ample evidence to the fact that no nun is a free agent to do anything, and therefore the signatures to such a petition are of not the slightest value, as they may have been obtained under priestly coercion or applied without resorting to them. The division, however, may be viewed as a complete Ministerial defeat, as the list in the minority contains the names of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Sir W. MOLESWORTH Mr. GLADSTONE, Mr. BARNES, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Mr. HAYTER, Sir CHARLES WOOD, Mr. F. PEEL, The bill was th the bill do pass, the Earl of WINCHILSEA proposed an amendment to the thir teenth clause, providing that the mode of assessment in Ire land should he the same as in England.

THE division which took place on Wednesday last in the House of Commons, on the motion for the second reading of the Recovery of Personal Liberty Bill, is likely to be understood directly the reverse of its effect, inasmuch as it appeared to be a majority of 209 to 180 against the measure. An , amendment was moved that "the Bill be referred to a select committee, to consider whether and what regulations are necessary for the better pro tection of the inmates of establishments of a con ventual nature, and for the prevention of the exer cise of undue influence in procuring the alienation of their property." This was accepted by the prin cipal supporters of the Bill, as being likely to pro duce a more efficient measure, and according to the forms of the House the question to be first settled was whether the original motion or the amendment should be the question to be submitted for decision. Accordingly, those in favour of the amendment voted against the second reading, while those who were opposed to the Bill voted for taking the question on the second reading, to defeat thereby the amendment. The result was in favour of the amendment, but being Wednesday, when all business must close punctually at six o'clock, there was no time to put the amendment as a substantive motion, and it now stands adjourned until Wednesday, the 20th July. The effect of this decision will be to delay the measure for a time, with the view of making it more effec tive ; but after this second division in its favour, notwithstanding the opposition of the Ministry, we have a fair right to count upon its ultimate success. It may be remarked, that though the bill has created such an excitement amongst the Romanists, on the ground of its being an insult, it does not contain one word connected with the Church of Rome or any religion whatever, but is especially directed against any building where females are or may be confined against their will, and then only to interpose the authority of the existing law. It may also be remarked, that its operation is confined to females, because in the Emancipation Act of 1829, after various provisions against Jesuits and monas tic orders—which Ministerial treachery has allowed to become a dead letter—there is this proviso " Provided always that nothing herein contained shall be held to affect religious orders consisting of females bound by religious or monastic vows;" so that the most helpless were left to the mercy of designing priests, and nunneries virtually recog nised by the law, The nature of the opposition to Sir GEORGE GREY, Mr. KEOGH, Mr. CARDWELL, Mr. MONSELL, Sir J. YOUNG, Mr. STRUTT, Sir A; COCKBURN, Mr. OSBORNE, Sir R. BETHELL, to say nothing of the smaller fry of Ministerial dependents who share in the discomfiture. We may therefore congratulate our readers on the prospect of some check being placed on those iniquitous proceedings of which these professedly re ligious establishments have been too often the scene. RADICAL IMBECILITY.--THE BALLOT FOR LIVERPOOL. APART from the difference of opinion on great political questions, which must always exist in an intelligent community, there is something so super latively absurd, so thoroughly childish, and so utterly contemptible in the sayings and doings of some of the leading advocates of Radicalism, that the only surprise is that men of ordinary capacity should allow themselves to be deluded as they are in supporting such a system. We can readily under stand that many of those whose time and attention have been almost engrossed by their own business, and whose acquaintance with politics is derived from a cursory perusal of the newspapers of the day, may adopt what are called Liberal opinions, as being the most plausible and specious ; but we are forced to the conclusion that a thorough-going Liberal, or by whatever other name he may be called, is necessarily deficient either in honesty or political intelligence. Take the most recent case, and one which has somewhat of a local interest, and it forcibly illustrates this position. When, on Tuesday last, Mr. FRESIIFIELD gave notice that on that day week he should move that a new writ be issued for the Borough of LIVERPOOL, Lord DUDLEY STUART, the representative of the boasted intelligence of a Metropolitan Borough, gave notice that he should move as an amendment, that the votes at the forthcoming Liverpool Election should be taken by way of Ballot. Now let us place this promised motion on any hypothesis, and its absur dity will be almost equally apparent. Did he ima gine that if it were possible to institute the Ballot for this special occasion, it would prevent the elec tors from returning two Conservative representa tives by a triumphant majority, if the Radicals should be so insane as to dare a contest? In the next place, was he foolish enough to suppose that the House of Commons, after rejecting the Ballot by so large a majority a few days previously, would reverse their own decision for this particular case ? But even if this difficulty were got over, was he silly enough to imagine that a resolution of the House of Commons, in a matter of such impor tance, would have the force of law as though it were an Act of Parliament ? And yet this is a Legislator, chosen to represent the Borough of Marylebone, the vaunted pattern-parish of England. The Radicals should be ashamed of their leaders, or rather ashamed of themselves ; for such proceed ings would throw discredit on a meeting of turn-out operatives. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. MONDAY EVENING, JUNE BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH THE EASTERN QUESTION. No later news of importance. Paris advices report an increased feeling of confidence in the maintenance of peace. Constantinople letters of the 13th state that Baron Bruck, the Austrian Envoy, had endeavoured to induce the Porte to come to some conciliatory measures, but the Sultan was firmly resolved not to accept the Ultimatum. M. de Bruck is, however, reported to have so far succeeded as to persuade the Divan to declare in reply to Count Nesslerode, that the Sultan considers the last Imperial Firman in favour of the Christians as a moral engage ment of the Porte towards all the Christian powers. Should the Russians occupy the Principalities, it does not appear likely that they will enter them for some time. PERSIA.—An Erzeroun letter of the 3rd of June speaks of inundations and cholera at Teheran, locusts at Ispahan, and a terrible earthquake at Eshirez and Cashan. At the former place 12 to 18,000 persons are said to have been killed, as the disaster occurred during the night ; and the stench arising from the dead bodies was such as to produce an epidemic very much resembling the plague. At Teheran cholera had diminished. FRANCE.—Accounts from the southern Departments respecting the state of the harvests are very bad ; late rains injured the whole of several districts. From the North and West the accounts are not so bad, but if the weather does not improve, the prospects of the harvest will be gloomy. INDIA, CHINA, AND AUSTRALIA. The steamer Austria, arrived at Trieste on the 26th of June, at 11h. 45m. p.m., in 106 hours from Alexandria. The India, Chinese, and Australian mails have arrived, with intelligence from Calcutta to the 16th of May ; Hong Kong, to the 6th of May ; Sydney, to the 3rd of April; Melbourne, to the Gth of April; and from King George's Sound to the 18th of April. No definite news from Rangoon, but it was expected that either the treaty with the King of Ava would be signed at once, or that the troops would move on to Ava. The governor-general is anxious to bring the war to a close. Trade at Calcutta was languid. Exchange on London, 2s. Id. ... There is no mail from Shanghai, nor any intelligence as to the insurrection in China. At Canton, a French commodore had seized two Englishmen, and forcibly con veyed them on board of his ship, for walking near a French flag-staff on shore. Exchange at Hong Kong, ss. per dollar. In Australia, things were proceeding prosperously. From the Ist of January to the 6th of April, 500,000 ounces of gold had been shipped. The price of gold was .£3 Il7s. Gd. per ounce. At Melbourne, the exchange was at par. No intelligence from Bombay —the last steamer from Alexandria having conveyed the mail that was to have gone on by this steamer. HOUSE OF LORDS, THE EASTERN QUESTION Lord LYNDHITasT asked the Earl of Aberdeen when it was intended to lay before the house a copy of the State Papers recently issued by Count Nesslerode on the im pending dispute between Russia and the Porte. He did not himself hesitate to say, that if the version of that paper, which appeared in the public journals, was correct, it was one of the most fallacious, offensive, illogical, and insulting documents he had ever met with. The Earl of ABERDEEN said . thataeopy would be laid before Parliament in a few days. The Marquis of WESTMINSTER presented a petition from the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood of Norwich, pray ing that English salt may be imported into all parts of British India upon the same terms and conditions as other goods and merchandise. The Encumbered Estates (Ireland) Act Continuance Bill passed through committee. On the motion of the Earl of ABERDEEN, their lordships agreed with the Commons in an address to Her Majesty, pray ing her to issue a commission to inquire into the state of the borough of Barnstaple. On the motion that their lordships agree in an address, pray ing for an inquiry into the state of the borough of T yne The Marquis of CLANRICARDE and Lord R E mouth, jected to the motion. DESDALE Ob . - _ The Earl of ABERDEEN and Lord BROUGHANI supported it. maj The hou o se divided—For the addr ess, 33 ; against it, 13 ; ,_2. The dddress was then agreed to. • On the motion for the third reading of the Income Tax Bill, Lord BROUGHAM proceeded to discuss the arguments for and against the tax at some length, considering that it ought to be reserved for a time of war, and concluded by expressing a fear that the tax would not terminate at the period fixed by the bill, 1860. Lord MONTEAGLE followed somewhat to the same effect. HOUSE OF COMMONS Mr. Whalley took the oaths and his seat for Peter borough, Mr. Vernon the oaths and his seat for Chatham. A division took place as to whether the Warrington and Altrincham Railway Bill should be recommitted, for the purpose of inserting running clauses over the London and North-Western Railway at Manchester. The recom mittal was carried by a majority of 136 to 96. Lord J. MANNERS gave notice that o n the second reading of the Education Bill he should move that it be read a second time that day six months. Mr. KEATING gave notice that on the Bth July he should move the following resolution :—" That, referring to the report of the select committee on Docky ar d promo tions, and the evidence uponwhich it is founded, this House is of opinion that, during the administration of the late Board of Admiralty, the dockyard promotions and the influences of the Admiralty were used and exercised for political purposes to an extent and in a manner calculated to throw discredit upon that department of government, and impair the efficiency of the service." GOVERNMENT OF INDIA. Mr. COBDEN resumed the adjourned debate on the Government of India Bill, and in strong terms denounced. the present form of double government as a sham. What he wanted was, that the Government of India should be placed in a tangible form before the world, so that the public could easily get at it, and public opinion might be brought to bear upon it. There would then be some prospect of getting abuses corrected, and improvements effected. All the best authorities upon Indian affairs concurred in denouncing the existing form.of government; and no wonder, when it was considered that the Board of Control was the virtual governing power, while the Court of Directors. and its secret committee, were its puppets. For instance, the President of the Board of Control could send down an order to the secret committee , to annex China, and this secret committee was bound to send out the order without murmur or alteration. The monstrous nature of the order they dare not communicate to the world until it had been executed, and yet this was called a perfect form of government. Perfect indeed! It was an ab surdity ; and he, therefore, advocated delay until something better could be devised. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said, the importance of this ques could not be exaggerated, and he was glad that it had not t discussed in a piii - ty spirit. He thought the measure now pro posed was the best that could he devised for the government of India. It was objected to, however, that it would not be per manent, or that it was restricted to any specified period as heretofore; but if experience should prove it to he a good measure, of course it would become permanent. While should experience demonstrate any detect that it might contain, it would be still open to the wisdom of Parliament to supply the necessary correction, and thereby still render the measure ultimately permanent. It was Upon these grounds that supported it. fir H. MADDOCK, as an old public servant in India, ex pressed considerable objection to the bill ; but would not oppose the second reading, as he conceived that such a course might be injurious, but he should reserve his objections for committee. Mr. J. PHILLIPS opposed the bill altogether. He was ag legislating without ftir - ther inquiry. Mr. M. M z LNES suppoled the bill. Mr. Britortp opposed the bill on the ground that, although it affected to be a measure which might be improved from time to time, it was calculated to continue existing practices which were objectionable. He remarked further, that the bill had been but feebly supported by its own friends. Delay in this case was wisdom, and a riper opinion on the part of the public was necessary.

LATEST SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE DEAL, JUNE 27.—Passed Euphrates, from Madras. PORTLAND BREAKWATER has now attained to 3,000 feet from the shore ; the opening between the two pier heads is 400 feet. A large piece of machinery (a gantry crane) started on the staging on Tuesday, for the purpose of laying the stone of the pier heads with the diving bell. Its weight is about six tons. A :-‘:SCOVERY, which may prove of some commercial importance, appears to have been made by a British resident in Russia —namely, that the seed of the tobacco plant contains about 15 per cent. of an oil possessing pe culiar drying properties, calculated to render it a superior medium, especially for paints and varnishes. A HINT FROM BERLIN.—In the article of cloth, ex elAotmherfircoarnn 6 0 1 r 2 t t p a o b r l t e e s d s t h o o t w h e an n e S a t s a e t e f a l G on, er e m a t n h e Osiers, in 1840, to 1,411,282 thalers in 1851 ; while Belgian cloth rose from 93,185 only to 478,532; and English cloth actually sank from 4,490,380, in 1840, to 3,785,070 thalers. P ro b a b ly the gentlemen of Leeds and the west of En g l an d w i ll " search carefully if these things be so ;" and if so, why so. The G erm an clothiers at tribute this success to the superior excellence of t h e i r blue black dye, t o th e i r production of a firm c l ose - woven b o d y of cloth, mellow, and a short nap, bearing a natural gloss, not due to too much dressing and devilling, and affirm that the Americans prefer light cloths possessing the shove desiderata to thick heavy goods.—Halifax Guardian. REVERSE.—An advertisement appears in a fashionable daily paper,' illustrating a romantic reverse of fortune. Count Lusi, formerly Prussian ambassador to Stuttgart, and other European courts, died six years back in a lodg ing-house in the vicinity of Leicester-square, in such abject circumstances that not enough was left to pay the medical charges, and the advertisement calls upon his next of kin to come forward and defray the claims for medical attendance upon thigi impoverished nobleman. What a contrast the career of Count Lusi presents even as shown in this melancholy announcement; at one time the repre sentative of a leading power of Europe, the alter ego of his sovereign at the courts to which his mission extended, and finally expiring in penury in an obscure street which has long since ceased to be a fashionable locality.
