SATU RDAY,

First Winter's martial form We saw, the scar upon his forehead,
And proud high smile as when he bore his fourfold foemen back ;
Fitzgibbon, who had perish'd where the carnage wax'd most horrid,
Still urged his fiery charger fast upon his leader's track.

A pale young form but beautiful with gallant Maude pass'd onward—
The very plunderers had turned with stricken hearts aside
From the brave boy, Arthur Waleham, who had perished in the van-
ward,
And left the stripling hero unpolluted where he died.

Monck's pale spectre strode in silence by brave Troubridge, whose
devotion
Had added yet new glories to his old ancestral fame,
And whose martyrdom of anguish wrung with sorrowful emotion
His gentle Sovereign's heart us his sad litter onward came.

Sayer's equipage was tended by the noble ones departed—
Old Chester, gallant Wynn, brave Young, soon severed from his
bride—
Their spirits living still in that young soldier so stout-hearted,
With stalwart frame so raek'd by pain, but eye still bright with
pride.

Nor alone this summer morning were the chiefs and men of station
Assembled round their Sovereign to meet their high award ;
Sturdy peasants, handicraftsmen—thews and sinews of the nation—
On their loudly-beating hearts bore the same blazon as the lord.

And a countless host of perished men, whose deeds we are enshrining
For a people's adoration, passed amid the living ranks ;
Manly loving smiles they wore—upon their brows no pale repining;
For well they knew how England to her heroes paid her thanks.

That her guerdon to the living, for the dead her tender sorrow,
Are not all she has to offer—that the lone ones left behind,
Through their filmy mist of tears and gusty grief, shall hail a morrow
When a nation's loving care their spirit's wounds shall gently bind.

THE CRIMEAN MEDALS.

Oh, the glorious May morning when the Sun's unwonted splendour
With a halo seem'd to gild the giant city's misty crown,
When the softened summer air seemed fraught with feelings high and

tender,
And eyes now flashed with patriot pride, now tearfully looked down,
When the clarions' shrill blast, and the bright pennons gaily flouting,
And the trampling of the horsemen, and the cannons' brazen peal,
And the honest English welcome which the multitude was shouting,
Told us that the Queen was coming—and our wounds began to heal.
Oh, the loyal love we bear her ! oh, the deep and strong affection !
Ye at home but faintly echo who ne'er heard the thrilling words
That she spoke to cheer her soldiers in their hour of fierce dejection
When with fever-glaring eyes we lay too weak to grasp our swords.
To some it came again, the strength to grapple with the foeman,
A nobler and a holier strength than we had known before ;
To some the loving accents of that true and Royal woman
Made beautiful the rugged couch from which they rose no more.

And now they rest in glory ; we have mourn'd them late and early;—
In the silent thoughtful bivouac, and in the noisy fray,
Their spirits still were present, ever mingling with us nearly,
And bidding us be true of heart and valorous as they.
And tho' with mortal eyes we might not scan their airy essence,
We knew they still were with us on that glorious May morn ;
That shadowy band of heroes, blessing with their spirit-presence
The Queen they died to honour and the friends who live to mourn.
We knew the gallant Cathcart with his living comrades blending,
And the ghost of brave old Strangways, noble as when still in life ;
And as Cardigan rode past, the air the while with tumult ringing,
His perish'd horsemen followed him as in the deadly strife.

FRIDAY EVKNIN•.
THE continued influx of gold has formed the chief
oojeot of interest in the Stock Exchange news of the
week. Every day arrivals are notified of considerable
amount, and the resulting aggregate constitute a
large addition to the already exuberant stock of
bullion in the Bank cellars. On Monday the total
value received was not less than 345,000/., of which
the principal items were 40,000 ounces of gold from
Port Philip, and nearly 900,000 dollars from New
York. Next day 117,0001. arrived, 100,0001. coming
to hand by the West India mail-steamer; on Wednes-
day the Sussex, from Port Philip, landed 33,000
ounces of gold, worth 132,000/. ; and yesterday
35,045 ounces additional, valued at 140,0001., were
received, per the Orwell,Waterloo, and Wooloonwoloo,
from Melbourne and Sydney. With the aid of
smaller parcels, the whole sum arrived since Satur
day last must exceed 750,0001.

Epsom races have somewhatinterrupted the course
of ordinary speculation during the week. The public
buyers still flock in, seeking for investments, but the
transactions of the dealers have been limited. Prices
are, however, well maintained, and in Consols a
further, though trifling, advance has been established
on last week's quotations. On Tuesday the an-
nouncement of a reduction in the rate of interest on
the June Exchequer Bills gave buoy ancy to the
market, as evincing the confidence of the Govern-
ment in their own credit and that of the country.
An instalment of fifteen per cent. on the new loan
fell due on the same day, requiring 2,400,000/. ; but
the payments were provided for without causing
the slightest perceptible difference in the Money
Market.

The daily fluctuations of Consols have been :
Saturday, 901 ; Monday, 901 1 ; Tuesday, 901 1 ;
Wednesday, after reaching 911, the quotations fell
to 901 1; Thursday, 904 1. This afternoon prices
have been well supported. Consols were done as
high as 911, and left off at 91 to 911 for both money
and the 30th instant. Reduced Three per Cents.
were 901: New Three per Cents., 901; Bank Stock,
2091; India Bonds, 18s. prem.; Exchequer-Bills,
12s. to 15s. prem. for the March issue, and 4s. to 7s.
for the June issue.
The Omnium of the new loan has advanced
pretty zegularly every day, and was firm to-day at
3 pram.
The next settling-day in Consols, after the 30th
instant, is fixed for July 10, when the quotations will
be made ex. div.

THE WAR.
Mr. DISILAELI, on Tuesday, gave notice that on
the Thursday he should move the following reso-
lution :

That this house cannot adjourn for the recess without
expressing its dissatisfaction with the ambiguous language
and uncertain conduct of her Majesty's (iovernment in
reference to the great question of peace or war, and that,
under these circumstances, the house feels it a duty to
declare that it will continue to give every support to her
Majesty in the prosecution of the war, until her Majesty
shall, in conjunction with her allies, obtain for the country
a safe and honourable peace.
In giving this notice, the right hon. gentleman said
that after the scenes of the previous evening, after
the equivocal language of the Government, and their
discouraging demeanour, he could not agree to the
adjournment of the house without some means were
taken of obtaining some explicit information on the
great subject of peace or war. The silence of the
house in 1853 bad lowered its character, and bad not
assisted in the preservation of peace. Their pro-
longed forbearance might perhaps drift them into an
ignominious peace, as their former forbearance had
drifted them into a disastrous war.

Mr. LAYARD here expressed his ;readiness to post-
pone his own resolution, which stood likewise for
Thursday.
Lord PALMERSTON denied that the language of the
Government was equivocal or ambiguous, beyond the
necessary reserve attending international communica-
tions. He asked if the Government should have
neglected the advances of Austria, under whose
auspices the lase conferences were held. They had
not relaxed their military preparations in conse-
quence. As for the resolutions, he should be per-
fectly ready to meet them.

considerable as the present, even though the Jews
are excepted, on the ground that they contributed 13
instead of 10 men in 1,000 last year. The Treasury
is making enormous efforts to provide for the equip•
ment of the new levies. Subscription-lists have been
opened in various places ; and at Kursk, a M.
Tschumischeff, a contractor, headed the list with a
donation of 25,000 silver roubles.
l'ors's Gazette of Berlin states, on the authority of
travellers who have arrived from Russia, that the
frequent levies of recruits for the army have much
exasperated the people of Poland, whose feelings are
more than ever hostile to the Russian Government.
A convoy of recruits from the government of Wilna,
who were proceeding to Warsaw, under a strong es-
cort of Cossacks, disarmed their guard, and then
dispersed about the country.
The Grenadier corps stationed at Warsaw received
orders on the 11th to leave Poland immediately
and in haste. Their known destination was Kieff,
but it was not doubted that, arrived there, they would
march further south. The two finest regiments of
the Guards are ordered to Poland. _ _

Russia has profited by the troubles of the
Chinese empire to effect an easy extension of her
frontiers in Southern Siberia. Means have been
found to induce four Mongol Khans, long subject to
China, to ask that their lands may be annexed to the
Russian empire. The Mongolians in question are
miserable tribes, without agriculture, arts, or even
towns, and well understand that they cannot hope to
maintain a position of independence. Of course this
request could not be refused, and the Khanates, late
the possessions of China, are now annexed to the
Czar's dominions.

FRIDAY EVENING.
THE Market for Public Securities of every descrip-
tion has been quiet throughout the past week. The
position of the Ministry, and the abeyance of satis-
factory tidings respecting the progress of the war
have rendered speculators extremely cautious. On
the other hand, the payment of the July dividend
has brought in capital for investment, and the public
generally continue to buy up Stook upon every
slight decline in the quotations. The settlement of
the monthly account in Consols was completed on
Tuesday, and resulted in a somewhat increased de-
mand for Stock. On 'Change there is:no scarcity of
money, and the Discount Market still presents an
abundant supply of cash, far beyond the demand.
The fluctuations in Stock have been slight and un-
important since Saturday last. On the whole, prices
have rather advanced, and the tone of the market is
firmer; a result to which the favorable statements
received of the harvest prospects have not a little
contributed.

A further instalment of the New Loan falls due
on Tuesday next. The amount then accruing is
15 per cent, or 2,400,0001. One half the loan will
then have been paid.
The only important arrival of specie announced
within the week was 160,0001. in dollars, from New
York. The demand of bullion for exportation still
continues.

his conscience to be unnecessary. No. A

MR. ROEBUCK.

TUE motion of Mr. ROEBUCK is necessarily
postponed, but it must depend on the result
of Sir EDWARD LYTTON'S motion whether it will
still be brought forward this session. The
apprehension with which the Ministry regard
the notice placed on the paper of the House by
Mr. ROEBUCK sufficiently accounts fur the cola-
tutnelious language poured forth upon him in
act, " Old Whig " own. As an independent
Liberal, the Member for Sheffield is honourably
distinguished from those timeservers who
bawl on the hustings against " aristocracy,"
.but whose votes are ever at the service of the
Whipper-in. Besides, it is most absurd for
the supporters of the present Cabinet to
asperse Mr. ROEBUCK. Did not Lord Tom;
RussELL attach so much importance to the
proceedings of the Honourable Gentleman
that he fled from office without consulting his
colleagues at even the whisper of Mr. ROE.
Bucat's intention to move for inquiry into the
causes by which fourteen thousand English
soldiers perished from neglect ? But was not
our present Premier also • indebted in the
Pacifico affair to the services of Mr. ROEBUCK in
a most remarkable manner?

As far as Ilil ROEBUCK IS concerned in the
motion for censure, it was pertinently re-
marked some time since by a political ob-
server that important consequences have in a
great variety of instances resulted from the
Parliamentary proceedings of Mr. ROEBUCK.
Tho cases of compromised election petitions,
colonial affairs, Irish landlordisms, and other
subjects, have all been made to feel the in-
fluence of the bold courses taken by the
Member for Sheffield. But after the im-
portance attached to his motives by Lord J.
Bussuu. it ought to be surperliuous to discuss
the degree of weight of the Member for
Sheffield.

With respect to the vote of censure itself,
its consideration lies in a very narrow coin-
pass. The Peelites have been destroyed, and
the Whigs treacherously rose upon the ruin
pf the colleagues with whom they had first
coalesced, and against whom they afterwards
conspired. They accepted the nomination of
the Duke of NEWCASTLE as Minister of War.
They travelled about the country while the
andy was perishing in the Crimea. Then,
whet the clamour of the outraged public
became loud, they called for inquiry at the
eleventh hour, though it was their business
themselves to have made it during the autumn

THE AUSTRIAN PROPOSAL.

Sir E. B. Lmow, on Tuesday, gave notice of the
following resolution :

That in the opinion of the house, the conduct of the Llo% ern-
meat with reference to the reeeut \limns negotiations had been
such as to shake the eouildeuee of the country in the present
Ministry.

Mr. DISRAELI followed this up by giving notice of
motion to afford precedence to this proposition on
Friday (last night) before the orders of the day. On
Thursday Lord PALMERSTON laid the papers relating
to the proposal on the table, and observed that, as
they had to be printed and place,' in the hands of
members, Sir B. Lytton's motion had better be de-
ferred till next week.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL then rose to answer Mr.
Disraeli's question on a former night, and said that
be had received her Majesty's sanction for the course
he had taken, adding that what he had stated was
no more than every one could have inferred. lle
proceeded to justify his holding office on the ground
that, though ten months ago the Austrian proposi-
tions might have been made a basis for peace, after
what had occurred nothing remained but to prose-
cute the war with vigour.

On this Mr. DISRAELI remarked that it was a fact
which no one doubted, and was not the question.
The question really was, whether when the noble
lord, after admitting in a matured statement that he was
favorable to terms of peace, which were rejected by
his colleagues, had not felt bound to consider whe-
ther his duty did not bind him to retire from the
Government; likewise, whether his language hn.
mediately after his return was not calculated to mis-
lead the house as to his real opinions ? Referring
again to the revelations of Lord John, he said that
they referred to interior discussions in the Cabinet,
and he had yet to learn that he was authorised to
make them without the royal sanction. lie then
complained that the Premier had altered the arrange-
ments for Friday, solely to prevent Sir B. Lytton's
motion from proceeding on that day.
This Lord PALUERSTON denied, saying that it was
necessary that the papers should be first duly con-
sidered. He would give every facility to the motion
on any day next week. He defended the propriety
of the statements of Lord J. Russell, observing that
business could not proceed if Cabinet Ministers were
not allowed to state the general decision on the
questions brought before them. He proposed that
Sir B. Lytton might take Monday to do what he
pleased with, for the purposes of his motion.
Sir E. B. Lin-ros accepted that day, saying that
he should bring forward his resolution as a substau•
tial motion.

Sir J. WALSH remarked that in Count linol's cir-
cular, the truth of which was admitted by the noble
lord, it was stated that he had identified himself with
the Austrian proposal, which he had promised to
recommend to his Cabinet. lle now represented
himself as simply acquiescing out of courtesy to
Austria. He then appealed to Mr. Roebuck tu post-
pone his motion, which stood fur Tuesday, if the
debate on Monday was adjourned, to which Mr.
Roubucii intimated his assent.

PARTNERSHIP AMENDMENT BILL.

The committal of this bill was somewhat warmly
opposed on Monday in the Commons, chiefly by the
merchants and capitalists—Mr. Hastie, Mr. Mitchell,
Mr.W. Brown, and others. These urged that there was
already ample capital in the market, that the repeal
of the usury laws gave sufficient facilities for loans,
and that when the chances of profit were unlimited—
on principles of abstract justice—the chances of loss
should not be limited. Reckless speculations would
be encouraged by the bill, some of the clauses of
which opened the door to gross frauds. As for
other countries, they were in different positions—they
were either deficient in capital or credit—neither had
they succeeded in placing their commercial character
on the same high standard which it had reached here.
On the other hand, the bill was supported by Mr. JOHN
MACGREGOR, on the ground that it facilitated the
exertions of the poor ; by Mr. WILKINSON, who
thought that it furnished an outlet for superabundant
capital; and hy.,Mr. MALINS, who opposed the argu-
ment that the bill would facilitate fraud, by pointing
out that it only restrained the risks of partnership

THE PRESS.

for ever, or only for a short period preparatory
to their lasting union, we discern at once
what will happen ; but we like nevertheless to
see the play of young fresh hearts faithfully
delineated over and over again, as each spring
we delight to hail the rising flowers that
speak of earth's gladness and of coming
summer.

We have noticed one fault shared by this
book in common with others of its class.
We must hint at another. Mrs. Maberly has
thought it necessary to introduce a vulgarly
fine family, that of Mrs. Somersett Brown, to
set off the better the refinement of her other
figures. All that concerns this family is mere
caricature. The vulgarity and pretension are
carried too far—a strange fault in a writer so
chaste as this lads is in general. She must
have met with very unfavorable specimens of
middle-class people, if she conceives the
Somersett Bro‘sns, with their wretched little
cockney villa, to faithfully represent them. It is
true that persons whose lives have been devoted
to the making and saving of money, must from
the very nature of their pursuits usually lack
refinement of nature, and that their manners
usually appear in ludicrous contrast with
those of truly good society. But the papas
are not all sullen and sottish ; the mammas
all scheming; nor the daughters all plain and
affected. Pretension is no doubt the fault of
the class, but very rarely is it. exhibited in so
offensive and burlesque a shape as we find it
represented here in the family of the Somer-
sett Browns. There are many degrees of
earth in the world between delf and
porcelain.
Making all allowance for these faults, the
tale is still a most attractive one—quiet in its
general character, but elegant and natural,
and with the great merit of highly-finished
social portraiture. The continental scenes
are all good. The scene in the shop of Her-
mann Frank at Brussels, for example, would
make a pretty picture if our artists would only
condescend to sometimes look for subjects in
modern fiction.

The dealings in Railway Shares have been very

A meeting of the Union Bank of London was held
on Wednesday, at which a dividend at the rate of 20
per cent. per annum free of income-tax was declared,
and the report and accounts were unanimously
adopted. The whole of the discussion was of a con-
gratulatory character, the increase of prosperity
and the general stability of business being the chief
points referred to. It lwas mentioned that the de.
posits have greatly augmented, and that the number
of shareholders has also increased.

No movement in the Foreign Market has occurred

for five millions, under the joint guarantee of England
and France, confidence in the Porte has much in-
creased, and led to a considerable improvement in
the quotations of the former date. On Monday last

CENSURE ON THE MINISTERS.

An amendment is to be proposed to Mr. Roebuck's
motion for a vote of censure, by Colonel Shafto Adair,
to the following effect:—
That this House is of opinion that the counsels which deter-
mined the expedition to the Crimes were consistent with a bold
and sagacious policy, just to our allies, and commensurate with
the objects 14 the war; and, further, that a perseverance in a
similar policy can ulone afford the hope of insuring an or

Earl GRANVILLE stated that England and France
were jointly and severally to guarantee the whole five
millions of the Turkish loan.

The Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes Bill
was read a third time.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY.
Mr. WALPOLE having moved that Lord Hotham
be discharged from the London Writ Committee and
Mr. E. Egerton added,
Lord HOTHAIt explained that his reason for
retiring arose from the decision of the committee
that counsel should be heard on behalf of Baron
Rothschild, but not against him. He thought, in
consequence, that his place should be filled by a
lawyer.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said that this course would be
very inconvenient, as the new member would not
have beard the argument. There were already seven
lawyers on the committee.
Lord HOTHAM consented to remain.
In answer to Colonel Nonni,

Mr. F. PEEL soid that officers retiring upon full
pay under the late warrant ought not, he thought, to
be allowed to retain the reward for distinguished
service.

Ia answer to Colonel KNOX,
/4r. F. PEEL said that some of the invalids at
Chatham had not received their arrears in eonse-
quence of the non arrival of the pay-list, but they
were receiving their full pay at present.
In answer to Mr. E. BALL,
Mr. V. SMITH said that instructions bad been sent
to the Indian Government to prepare a patent law for

AUSTRIA.

The Vienna official Gazette of the 7th replies to
the speech of the Emperor Napoleon on the opening
of the French Legislative session. It declares that
Austria had fulfilled the engagements entered into
by the treaty of the 2nd of December, and was not
obliged to go further. A new circular by M. Buol to
N. de Hubner, intended as a further reply to that
speeoh, is spoken of. In the circular Austria asserts
that France and England retain her preferences and
her sympathies, but that she remains the sole judge
as to the suitable moment for her to take part in the
contest, or as to the conditions of the ultimatum, the
definite rejection of which is to determine her to re-
sort to extremities.

The Emperor returned to Vienna on Monday from
his journey into Gallicia, and was received with great
ceremony.

SPAIN.

A despatch from Barcelona, dated the 10th inst.,

announces that strikes still continued. The work.
men had left the town, and were encamped in the
open fields, with bands of peasants.
The National Guard had given its support to the
Government, and mounted guard in the town. The
troops were outside. The town was tranquil. The
shops had reopened. The manufactories had struck
work. General Zapatero had receivel reinforce.
ments : he awaited more to be able to act.

The Catalonian deputation applied to the Cortes,
on the loth, for a bill to organise labour. The Min-
istry refused to interfere till the insurgents had sub-

milted. v
the Government had decided to act against the
Carlista as well as against the workmen.
_ _ _

It is stated that the brother of the Carlist chief
Marsal has been killed, and he himself escaped, by
the speed of his horse, into France. A colonel, four
superior officers, eighteen subalterns, and seventy-
four men of the insurgents had crossed the frontier
nto France.

VICTORIA GOVERNMENT BILL.

This bill was read a second time in the Lords on
Tuesday, after some observations from Lord MoN-
TEAOLE, who complained that the colonies suffered
from the frequent changes in the head of the Colo-
nial-office, and that the colonists had appropriated
to themselves the whole proceeds of the sale of waste
lands, instead of appropriating a part of them, as
heretofore, to the purposes of emigration from this
country.

TURKEY.

The Sultan has effected a loan of 700,0001. sterling
at Constantinople.
After the affair of the 18th, the Sultan sent to
Lord Raglan and General Pelissier a letter, ex •
pressive of admiration and thanks for the bravery of
the allied troops.
Letters from Egypt state that Said Pacha has
doubled the pay of his lately-raised brigade of
Soudan negroes, to their great satisfaction.

RUSSIA.
An Imperial decree was issued at St. Petersburg
on the sth inst., enjoining all the governors in New
Russia and Bessarabia to augment the Cossack
troops in their respective Governments by volunteers
from all classes.

A letter from St. Petersburg says :

The Czar continues to display great activity; he visits
fortresses, passes reviows, and works at night in his
Cabinet. All trace of dissension between him and his
brother the Grand Duke Constantine has disappeared, and
there was never any question of his abdication. The
Czar, though mild and affable, clings energetically to the
resolutions which he has adopted ; and he said recently to
a commercial deputation, " If I am feeble, I will dray to
God to make me strong." He has several times repeated
what ho said to the diplomatic body on his accession to
the throne : " The policy of my father is sacred for me."
He has determined not to abandon that policy on any
amount.

Warsaw that the troubles in the Ukraine, far from

UNITED STATES.

New York dates to the 27th ultimo have been re-
ceived.

The vote of all the counties on the prohibitory
liquor law of Illinois has been received, and shows a
majority against the law of 14,000 votes.
A New York paper states that the efforts of the
British recruiting agents there to enlist men for the
Crimean legion appear to be attended with con-
siderable difficulty. Mr. Charles H. Stanley, of the
British Consulate in New York, was arrested on the
26th of June, and placed under 1,000 dollars bonds
to answer a charge of enlisting recruits for the
Crimea.
Favorable accounts continue to be received of the
growing and ripening crops. In the southern States
the harvesting has already commenced, and the
yield is said to be unprecedented. A New York paper
observes :—" If this season does not outstrip any
previous year in the number of bushels produced,
there is no truth in favorable reports of crops."

Advices from San Francisco to the Ist of June had
reached New York. Accounts from the interior of
California give glowing descriptions of the country
and the general prosperity of the various branches
of industry, particularly mining.

A TERRIDLE CONFLAGRATION broke out on the 3rd inst.
in the district of Constantinople called Akserai. From
half-past eleven in the morning until nearly night the city
was overhung with a thick cloud, which the strong south
wind seemed only to make thicker by rousing the flames.
The small engines which the Turks make use of were of
little avail in checking the flames, and, in. any circnm-
stances, with a wooden town, along season of dry weather,
and a strong wind, it would be difficult for the moat skil-
ful firemen, aided by the best machines, to make head
against a conflagration. On this occasion 1,500 houses,
six mosques, and several magnificent koraks have fallen a
sacrifice to the flames.
