Itialiiiiii BILL:

. --------- ----
the above bill was read a second time, after some dis-
suades.

STATE OF THE NATION.

Mr. LAYARD gave notice that, on an early day, he
would move the following resolutions :
"That this house views with deep and increasing con-
cern the actual state of the nation.

"That whilst at all times the
affairs should be entrusted to those best qualified to disobeys
the duties imposed upon them, it is the more necessary that
it should be so at a moment of great national emergency.
"That the manner in which merit and efficiency haw
been sacrificed to party and family influences, and to a Ned
adherence to routine in the appointments to the great atom
of state, and to posts in diplomacy, the army, and other
branches of the public service, is opposed to the best in-
terests of the State, hes already given rise to grave misfor-
tunes, threatens to bring discredit upon the national cha-
racter, Mad to involve the country in ocelots disasters.
" That this house will give its best support to any ministry
which in the present emergency shall propose to itself, as
its main object, the efficiency of the public service in every
branch, and the vigorous prosecution of the war as the only
means of securing an honourable and luting peace." ("Hear,
hear," and laughter )

AUSTRIA AND THE COI

Some of the French government journals continuo
to predict large results from the Austrian alliance.
The Pays says, that the stay of M. Drouyn de
Lhuys at Vienna was protracted, to enable Lim to
"regulate the new situation" which results from the
Russian resolution. A meeting of representatives of
the Four Powers was held on Thunday, at the re-
quest of Prince Gortchaboff, when some further in-
admissible proposition was made by the Russian
plenipotentiaries, and rejected on the part of France,
England, and Turkey.—Daily News.

THE POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION,

likely to attain to a robust state of health, which will effec-
tually pat as cad to the fears of all its unions friends.
The Polytechnic Institution nay be very fairly called one
of the great facts of this greatest of cities. It deserves es-
pecial record, net surely Oa moose of the low price at
which it exhibits its treasures, not on account of the varied
nature of the entertaiaresat, bet on account of its being a
sort of mioroomm, se it were, of the world in its scientific
mutations. Earth, sir, sad say are daily being remarked
by stientifte sea, sad the results of their eodeavoars us
chronicled and exhibited at the Polytechnic In characters
which t►ose who ram may read. That the elute wsde at
this institotioa are daly appemisted may be inferred from
the stannous member of visitors who attended the dio-
Tutu and demonstrations yesterday. There was a dense

crowd, equal in magnitude to that which may be
man in a theatre at the representation of a popu-
let Ogee. This is a foot, enditable to the con-
ductors sad to the public. It is cheering to the
advocates of popular stlesetion. It shows that it the people
are prepetly educated there will be no danger of their run-
ning wild is marsh of degrading excitement. We bare
already described the nature of the Easter novelty—" San
Mick at home and abroad "—is oar notice of the private
view. Is addition to this, the month( visitors had the
opportunity of hearing a lecture on the Mimi rills, ono on
the transmission of sounds to distant plants, and of seeing
the diving bell is operation, dissolviag 'lowan: the seat of
war, sad a maisorama of St. Petersburg. Is the evening
there was • masksl lecture by Mr. Dockland, and as exhi-
bition of Mr. Daboscres illuminated seaside.

SEVERE GALE IN THE ATLANTIC.-LOSS OF
LIFE.

LIVERPOOL, M•NDAT.
The American chip John Rutledge arrived here

Friday, from New York, having sulfared severe damage,
and lost two seamen overboard during the gale of the 10th
ult. The following is the report of Captain Sands: "Left
New York, March 9, in company with the Hendrik Hudson,
for London (which sprung a leak in same gale, and was
abandoned on the 12th ult.) And on the 10th the ship was

thrown on her beam ends by shifting of the cargo—wind
.to N.W.—blowing a heavy gale. The cargo shift-
ing so much she became unmanageable. She lay with her
starboard rail and quarter boat in the water, washed the
starboard anchor off the rail, blew the foretopsail, foresail,
end foretop:past staysail away, split the maintopeail, and
blew the sails adrift from the gaskets and split them ; the
ship at the time lying on her side, with three feet water in
the hold, and two feet in the between decks. The crew
and passengers were engaged pumping and baling out
water, in order to free her so soon as the gale abated. When
they were able to get the hatches off they went down to the
hold and commenced throwing oat cargo. After throwing
overboard about 200 barrels of turpentine, and some tar
and logwood , they succeeded in righting the ship. Lost
two men overboard in the 'gale. During the latter part of
the voyage there was very unsettled weather—squally,
with variable winds, end much rain." The Corra Linn,
an American ship, of 754 tons, Captain Risk, which
left Glasgow en the 24th ult. for New York, put into this
port to-day, with two feet water in her hold.

ABTLEI'S THEATRE.

The holiday patrons of the metropolitan mutts-
trim theatre were prorated yesterday with a novelty,
which the bills describe as " a powerful domestic equestrian
drams, entitled TA* Field satinet as Favoserige, written
exprualy for the theatre by Nelson Lee, Esq." The rue-
coarse, es the title shows, supplies the material of the dra-
matic fiction ; and the moral appears to be, that it is better,
as a rale, for borse•jockeys and trainers to deal epos the
square than to doctor a horse or to will anew. The story
savours sometbitql of one of the old fashioned melodramas
of "intense interest"—the Interest motoring, however,

THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT AND THE
HANOO MASSACRE.

Tam can be no objection to the course which
Government propose to adopt with reference to the
Mango massacre, as stated by Lord Ct.inthrtnott in
the House of Lords lest night. It is bat last to allow
a party charged with a gross outrage an opportunity
of exculpating himself, if he can, before proceeding
to punish him. Bat Ministers ought to understand
that the English people will insist upon their strictly
scrutinising any answer they may receive from the
Russian Government. Cabinets much more scrupulous
and punctilious than that of Bt. Petersburg have been
known ere now to disown their agents, when in
danger of being held respoosible fur their acts. A
mere disclaimer on the part of the Russian Govern-
ment, of having authorised the massacre at Mango, un-
less confirmed by facts learned from other sources,
will not be worth the paper on which it is written.
The Russian account of the affair, which we pub-
lished yesterday, appeared in the official organ at Bt.
Petersburg, and it roaming not only falsehoods, but
falsehoods which their promulgators cannot possibly
have oredited. It is asserted that the boat of the
Cossack was sunk ; that is false, bat the concocters of
the tory in the Itoralsde Rum very probably believed
it. They did nut think that say Englishman had
escaped to contradict them. But it is calculating
rather too confidently on the credulity of Europe, to
expect that it will be credited that an attempt was
made to arra a hostile landing by a single boat's
crew, who had only seven muskets and seven cut-
lasses amongst: them. Perhaps the line of defence
contemplated by the Russian Government may be
inferred from the narrative in the Isoolide Russo:

they do not appear to think of throwing the blame
upon the soldiers, but of denying that there has
been any violation of the laws of war. Before
they are accused they have published an exculpatory
lie, thereby betraying conscious guilt. A cowardly
surprise and massacre is nut unprecedented in the
annals of their warfare, as witness Sloops. It is ne•
estuary to speak plainly on this subject. Thero is a
disposition among some of our aristocracy to screen
the Russian Government, and allow it to come off
easily. What was the meaning of the suggestion
thrown out last night by Lord GRANvILLE, that an
appeal from the Russian Government to the Russian
soldiers, such as was made by the Duke of Yoax
from the French Convention to the French armies,
might be effective P What have the Russian serfs—
what have the Bashkir' and other savages in the
Muscovite ranks, in common with the chivalrous sol-
diers of France P—Daily New.
London, England, 1855-06-22

In reply to a pantie's from the of IbrArralarraa,

The Tirrl of CLARENDON said be did not know whether
the Russians who committed the outrage were regular
troops or not ; bat it appeared that the man wise gave the
orders bad a musket in his band, and fur that reason was
supposed not to have been an °Meer.
Lord COLCHESTER believed it was the practice both
in the army and navy, when any violation of the nooses of
war was committed by the enemy, for the caster in com-
mand to demand an esplanation without waiting for is-
strectiou frem home. He hoped that the Russian govern-
ment would not only disclaim the act, but endeavour to And
out and punish the perpetrators of it. (Hear.)
Lord BROUGHAM felt convinced that they would dl.
own and disclaim the act, but they must go farther, and
punish those by whom it had been committed.
The Earl of MALMESBURY had no objection to
make to the coarse the government had indicated ; on the
contrary, he thought, ander the circumstances, it was the
most judicious that wind be adopted; but if the esplanades
should not be satiefastoey, he trusted the government would
not hesitate to take such farther steps as the justice of the
ease required. (Hear, beer.) His noble friend had used
the word reprisals—bat nothing in the shape of reprisals
could be satisfactory--(hear, heat)—and if by reprisals the

noble earl meant aggressive acts against Russian soliects of
the same nature se that whisk had been perpetrated upon
our unfortunate countrymen, it would bring dishonour upon
the British nation. (Chasm.) What he would like to see
his noble friend do was to briar the force of public
opinion in Europe to bear against the act by ap-
plying to every government in alliance ;with her
Majesty, and to every civilised people, and every girlhood
sovereign to unite in a protest against the conduct of the
cabinet of St. Petersburg, should it venture to uphold or
defend so atrocious an act. (Hear, hear.) Depend upon it
the force of opinion so brought to bear upon that cabinet
would be too strong for it to resist. He hoped if his noble
friend failed in obtaining the satisfaction he Woo properly
demanded, that he would bring the matter before a jury of
nations in the way he had suggested.

End GRANVILLE referred to the remarkable general
order issued by the Doke of York, is reply to the seagai•
nary decree freed by the French conventioa, the effect of
which had been that the French soldiers refused to obey that
decree, bat iasteed to follow the generous example of the
British army. He believed that the sane coarse woald be
followed by a like result in the cue of the Russian soldiers.

NEW AUSTRIAN DESPATCH.

The Indipondance Belga of yesterday publishes a
despatch, dated the 20th ult., addressed by Count
Boot to Baron de Hoboes., Austrian Minister at Paris.
In this document the course token by Austria at the
late Conferences is vigorously defended, and it is
attempted to be shown that its propositions would
have secured an advantageous peace, and have pro.
sided against any possible danger to Turkey from
the Russian navel forces in the Black Bea. The argu-
ments urged are in singular resemblance with those
lately employed by the Jowessol de St. Peterstoosorg.
The following is an extract :
