THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE AT SHEFFIELD.
His GRACE THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE, at the
Cutlers' Feast, at Sheffield, last week, in returning
thanks for his health, alluded to his late position in
the Government as Secretary at War :

Even now I will not he tempted to any vindication of
myself, however desirous I may be to stand well with my
countrymen. I will not be even tempted by the presence
of my honourable and valued and most distinguished, and
1 hope he will forgive me for saying somewhat aggressive,
friend who sits near me (Mr. Roebuck, M.P.). The time
may come when I may be ready—ready I am, indeed, at
this moment—when I may see fitting occasion even to
venture upon breaking a lance with him. The time I
think still more probably will cone when perhaps the
publication of documents and the establishment of facts
may induce even my honourable and learned friend to
modify some of his—honest I am perfectly certain—
opinions. Of this, at any rate, I anticipate you will all of
you be convinced, that the long and determined silence
which I have maintained for many months past has been
dictated by other and higher motives than an acceptance
of the blame which has been thrown upon me, or even an
entire acquiescence in much of the selflaudation which is
assumed by others.

Gentlemen, I will only make this one further allusion
to my recent oonnection with the Government of this
country, that having resolved, from the hour at which I
gave up the seals of that office, that I would go and visit
our army before Sebastopol, to see for myself, for the
clearance of my own conscience as well as for the purpose
of acquiring that knowledge which I knew that neither I
nor any other in this country possessed of an accurate
description—having resolved to go there, in spite of the
remonstrances of many earnest and sincere Mends, I have
never felt up to this moment more than one regret, and
that was that my companion, sometimes in the trenches,
sometimes in visiting the hospitals, sometimes in wit-
nessing the various scenes which were enacted iu that
camp, was not the chairman of the Sebastopol committee.
Relieve me when I say so that that feeling was not dictated
by the circumstance of the many 'nails of various saris and
sizes winch occasionally whizzed about my ears, but from
a very different feeling towards him and towards you as
possessing such a member. It was, that he might have
had the opportunity of witnessing the kindness I there ex-
perienced. The only word I will say in reference to my-
self is this—and I say it in the presence of various officers
whose public services are attested by the decorations which
adorn their breasts—that my thanks are due, and I now
venture to tender them, for the uniform and generous
kindness I met with, not only from every officer but every
private in the army.

The noble duke then briefly alluded to the state of
our relations to America, anticipating no serious
rupture from the simple differences lately occurring
between the two countries. His grace then touched
upon the present state of political feeling in Eng-
land
London, England, 1856-09-13

THE PRESS.

the ancient system of throwing all our trans-
ported criminals together without any kind of'
classification. There are certain offences, such
for instance, as poaching and manslaughter,
the commission of which very frequently im-
plies no confirmed depravity, or any great
unfitness in the culprit to become a useful
member of society, especially under the
changed conditions of colonial life, where
energy and restlessness find their legiti •
mate vent. Neither Australia nor any
other colony in a similar stage could
object to receive such an accession to her
population as characters of this class would
form. Why could not some distinction be
drawn between criminals like these, and wife-
beaters, forgers, and swindlers, to whom the
discipline of a penal prison would be far more
formidable than exile ?

As for Africa, we know little of its capabili-
ties fur convict establishments, but we should
imagine that country well suited for such a
purpose. But it is perfectly well known that
the Falkland Islands offer every facility for a
settlement of this kind. Independently of
which, there are plenty of islands scattered
through the Pacific which we could turn to
good account in this manner if we chose.
Against many of the evils resulting from
our present system society has long been
crying out. Even granting that ticket-of•leave
men are a greatly maligned class, which the
Commissioners seem to imply, still common
sense pertinaciously returns to the question,
how are these men to live, if not by crime ?
When there is a superfluity of honest
labourers, who will take a bulgier into his em-
ployment? And if the police are always to
receive notice of his movements—a regulation
which it certainly seems difficult to dispense
with—how is it possible for his character to
remain concealed? This is the primary diffi-
culty, which we may walk round and round,
and talk about and about, but can never effec-
tually remove.
Finally, we confess we would much rather
see the number of penal establishments in
this country lessened than increased. We do
not think the occupation of the officials at
these places particularly well calculated to
improve a man's character. On many natures
it cannot fail to exercise a brutalising in-
fluence. On the whole, a penal prison is not
an institution with which an Englishman has
much sympathy. They afford, besides, a far
more expensive method of dealing with our
criminals than the old one, unless we employ
them upon public works, in which case the
innocent poor would have real ground of com-
plaint. We feel convinced that sooner or later
we must return to transportation, and hope
that another session will not pass over without
some steps being taken to restore it.

GREECE.

A serious difference has arisen between the Com-
mander-in-Chief of the French army of occupation
and the Greek Government- MAjor Melingus, Go-

vernor of the Piraeus, who had received the decora-
tion of the Legion of Honour for his attention on
every occasion to the French troops, had for that
reason been removed from his command by the
Queen, and replaced by Major Angheloponlos. The
French Admiral, Bouet de Willaumez, on hearing
of this appointment, refused to acknowledge him,
and at once took military possession of the Piraeus.
The Greek Government had protested, and ad-
dressed violent notes to the English and French
representatives. Mr. Wyse, the British Minister,
approved all that had been done, and instructed
the commander of the British troops at the Pirseas
to support the French admiral until further in-
structions should be received from their respective
Governments.

TURKEY.

Letters from Constantinople of the Ist instant
announce the arrival in that capital of the Russian
Generals Dainese and Kirikofc members of the Bess-
arabian Boundary Commission. Messrs Koller and
Benxi had also arrived, and M. Basily and Sir Henry
Bulwer were shortly expected.
M. de Thouvenel, French Ambassador at Constan-
tinople, bad given a banquet to M. de Boutenieff,
Russian Ambassador, at which all the members of
the Turkish Ministry were present.
The French Consul returned, on the 7th, to Erze-
roum, where he was received with great honour.
The Russian Consul was to resume his functions
on the 18th.

The province of Kars was entirely evacuated by
the Russians on the 9th August. The citadel was
delivered up to Hussein Puha on the 6th ult.
Soukham - Kaleh and Redont- Kaleh bad been
restored to the Russians.
Rumours of Ministerial modifications were current
at Constantinople, particularly of the removal of the
Seraskier.

The Government is said to be in a:state of transi-
tion at the present moment.
Admiral Houston Stewart had returned from his
cruise in the Black Sea. A small squadron remained
off the Isle of Serpents.

INDIA, CHINA, AND AUSTRALIA.
The usual mails from India bring us intelligence
that a treaty was in course of negotiation with the
troublesome Momund chiefs, on the Punawallah
frontier. Bnrmah was to be intrusted to the Madras
army, and Ouda was perfectly quiet.
Viscount Canning was at Calcutta in improved
health. - .

.
In China the rebels are gaining ground, and have
captured Souchon, the capital of the province, and
outlet of the commerce of Slianghae, and blockaded
forty vessels of the imperial fleet near Nankin.
Mr. Howard Cunningham had been killed by
Chinese.

Intelligence from Sydney, up to 21st June, an-
nounces the opening of the first Paliamentary session
at Sydney on the 23rd of May. Mr. Daniel Cooper
had been elected Speaker of the house, by the narrow
majority of one. A new gold-field near Wellington,
Bathurst, was attracting the few diggers in New
South Wales.
From Melbourne we have dates to the 27th June.
The first general election would take place in
August. The gold-fields were still remarkably pro-
ductive.

ITALY.

The hulependance of Thursday reports the tenor
of the second Anglo-French note presented to the
King of Naples. The note, it is said, " insists " on
an amnesty, and specially mentions the case of
Poerio. If the King should persevere in his policy
an Anglo-French squadron gill appear in the Bay of
Naples to protect English and French property in
the event of a revolution. The King of Naples, it
is said, is " disposed " to yield to these represen-
tations.

The King continues to lead a very quiet life at
Castellamare. The secretary of Prince Murat has
written to the Genoa Corriere, disavowing any
Muratist proclamation on behalf of the Prince.
The state of siege in existence at Parma, it was
officially announoed in the Gacette, would be raised
on the 10th inst. The uncondemned prisoners would
be sent before the ordinary tribunals. _ .

The dissolution of the Chambers at Turin was an-
ticipated. The conduct of M. Landucci, Minister for
Foreign Affairs fur Tuscany, in ordering Mr. D'Aste,
a Sardinian schoolmaster, lately on a vitit with his pu-
pils to Florence, to quit the Tuscan territory within
twenty-four hours, has led to a strong remonstrance
from Count Cavour, who awaits the reply of the
Tuscan Government.

"The ' Noctes ' are a valuable contribution to our literature.
They a•e the effusions of a powerful mind—wide and various
in their subject, embracing the current topics of their time, and
throwing no small light on its history. They give the impres-
sion, in a degree rarely equalled, of being written out of the
author's fulness, flowing spontaneously and without effort, and
bringing the reader into intercourse, not with a literateur but
with a man, while yet they are constructed with admirable
dramatic skill in the embodiment and discrimination of the
persons who take part in them. They beam with wit and
humour, with vigorous manly rouse, with poetry end eloquence,
with criticism at once broad and delicate."—Saturday Review.

♦SSESSED TAXES ACTS.

The house having gone into committee upon these
acts,r. WILSON said, be intended to move a resolution
to effect an alteration in the duty upon racehorses.
That duty was now 3/. 175., and it was imposed upon
every racehorse which was either kept for racing or
in training. Complaints were made that under the
existing system the owners of racehorses were fre-
quently defrauded by persons in their employment,
and he proposed that the law which was formerly
in force should be re-enacted, and that a certain rate
of duty should be charged upon racehorses every time
they ran. The hon. gentleman moved a resolution
to carry out his object.
The resolution was agreed to, and was reported to
the house.

APPELLATE JURISDICTION (SALARIES AND RETIRING

PENSIONS).

The house having gone into committee,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved a

The resolution was agreed to, and the house re-
sumed.

FRIDAY EVENING.
Tax return of the Bank of England for the week ending
July sth shows the following changes compared
with that for the week preceding:—
Increase in Circulation .

Decrease in Public Deposits .. 887,496
Increase in Other Deposits
Increase in Government Securities 132,360
Increase in Other Securities 728,954
Decrease in Bullion
Increase in Rest .. .
Decrease in Reserve
Circulation, including Rank Post
Bills
Bullion iu Both Departments
The most unfavorable features in this comparison are the
considerable reductions in the Bullion and in the Reserve.
The addition to the Private Securities, which is also
large, is explained by the fact that the Bank usually makes
large advances to different parties in anticipation of the
dividends ; and it in no way proves that the ordinary dis-
count business of the establishment is returning. The
decrease in the Public Deposits is large, considering that
at the date to which the return was made up the payment
of the dividends had not commenced.
The Monthly Debtor and Creditor Account of the Bank
of France, made up to yesterday, the 10th instant, was
published this morning ; and, compared with that for
June, it shows the following changes :
Increase in Circulation
Decrease in Public Deposits
Increase in Private Deposits 1,056,458
Decrease in Bullion 2,232,380
Increase in Commercial Discounts 3,530,073
Increase in Advances on Bullion
Increase in Advances on Public
Securities
Increase in Advances on Railway
Securities
Decrease in Premiums on Purchase
of Specie
Circulation on July 10
Stock of Bullion ... 9,219,468
This return is not so favorable as those for the two
previous months, showing, as it does, that along with a
decline in the amount of the metallic reserve there has
been a great increase in the applications for discounts and
advances. The total increase in the advances over those
in the previous month to the State and private individuals
amounts to 4,036,0771.
Some features of rather an anomalous character have
characterised the Stock-Exchange markets in the week
now closing. With an abundant supply of money, with
the rates of discount practically lower than they have been
since before last September. with a cessation of political
anxieties, and an increasing trade both domestic and
foreign, the value of nearly all descriptions of securities
has fallen, and they continue to show a heavy aspect.
There is nothing in our own commercial or financial posi-
tion calculated to suggest an adequate explanation of the

MR. JAMES SADLEIR.

Mr. J. FITZGERALD, in reply to Mr. Moore as to
whether it was true that Mr. James Sadleir had been
permitted to leave Ireland without being arrested,
said, that there was not a document or witness within
the reach of the Crown which would have enabled
the law cfficers to take a single step towards bringing
the culpable parties in the Tipperary Bank fraud to
justice, until after the Master of the Rolls had de-
livered judgment. The most active steps were then at
once taken by the Crown to secure Mr. James Sad-
leir. From the report of the officers employed he
had reason to believe that Mr. Sadleir had not left
Ireland since the 17th or 18th of June. If he had
left Ireland it was before that date, and in conse
quance of the irregular observations of the Master
of the Rolls.

MEDICAL PROFESSION BILL.
Mr. COWPER, in reply to Mr. Spooner as to when
the Government would fix a day for the discussion of
the above bill, said it was vain to hope that the house
would be able to consider the prmisions of the mea-
sure, and he would therefore move that the order be
discharged.
The order for committee on the bill was accordingly
discharged.

BISHOPRIC OF NEW ZEALAND.

Sir J. PAKINGTON gave notice that on an early day
next session he would move an address to the Crown
praying that an annual salary of 6001. be paid to the
Bishop of New Zealand, together with the arrears
of such salary which had accrued since its discon-
tinuance.

WEST INDIES.
Mr. J. EWART asked the Secretary of State for the
Colonies when the geological survey, now understood
to be making of the West India Islands, would pro-
bably commence in Jamaica?

rience had been appointed and sent out. The

INDEMNITY BILL,

Mr. MAsszv obtained leave to bring in a bill to
indemnify such persons in the United Kingdom as
have omitted to qualify themselves for offices and
employments, and to extend the time limited for
those purposes respectively, which was read a first
time.

EPISCOPAL AND CAPITULAR ESTATES.
Sir G. GREY obtained leave to bring in a bill to
continue the act to faciliate the management and
improvement of episcopal and capitular estates in
England.—Read a first time.

BOARD OF HEALTH.
Mr. COWPER obtained leave to bring in a bill to con-
tinue the General Board of Health for one year,
which was read a first time.

110/USE OF LORDS—THURSDAY.
SALE OF POISONS.
Lord CAMPBELL called the attention of the house
to the facilities which existed for the sale of poisons,
and hoped the Government would introduce some
measure on the subject next session.
The Loan CHANCELLOR replied that the subject
was under the consideration of the Government.

THE TIPPERARY MILITIA.
Lord PANMURE, in reply to Lord Donoughmore,
stated that he bad received no official information as
to the mutiny of the Tipperary Militia. There was,
however, no doubt that a mutiny had token place in
consequence of some misunderstanding on the part
of the men as to giving up their clothing.

BISHOPS' RETIREMENT BILL.
The LORD CHANCELLOR brought in the Bishoprics
of London and Durham Bill, to enable those pre-
lates to resign their sees, and to provide for them on
resignation.
Lord REDEsDALE opposed the bill, on the ground
that the measure, which tended to remedy an un-
doubted evil, ought rather to be of a general than a
special kind.

THE PRESS.

The bill was read a first time, cm the understand-
ing that a second reading should not take place till
Monday next.

CRIMINAL LAW REFORM.

The Loan CHANCELLOR, in reply to the Earl of
Donoughmore, said he intended, before the end of
the session, to lay on their lordships' table nine bills
for the classification of the statutes relating to crimes
and punishments, in which the recommendations of
Lord Wensleydale, Lord Chief Justice Jervis, and
other eminent authorities had been adopted.
The Dwellings for Labouring Classes (Ireland)
Bill passed on certain amendments being introduced
into the seventh clause.

HOUSE OF COMMONS-THURSDAY.
VACCINATION BILL.

On the order for going into committee upon this
bill,
Mr. CowrEß, adverting to the difficulty of the
whole subject, and to the defects of the existing law,
but considering at the same time the opposition
raised against this bill, stated that, under the cir-
cumstances, he had thought it right to adopt the
suggestion of Mr. T. Duncombe, to move next session
for a select committee to inquire into the manner in
which vaccination was practically performed. He
moved to discharge the order.
This motion was agreed to, and the bill was there-
fore withdrawn.
The Burial Acts Amendment Bill was likewise
withdrawn.

APPELLATE JURISDICTION BILL.

Lord J. RUSSELL said that he observed among the
orders of the day, "The Appellate Jurisdiction
( House of Lords) Salaries and Retiring Pensions
Committee thereupon." He was cert inly surprised
that this bill should be placed upon the orders of the
day, seeing that only yesterday there had been a
very long discussion on the subject and a division,
which showed that a great portion of the house did
not concur in the proposal of the Government.
Much of the principle of the bill depended on the.
amount of the salaries to be granted to these apnel•
late judges ; and he therefore hoped the Government
had no intention of going on with so important a bill
to night.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was
impossible to introduce a clause into the bill fixing
the amount of the salaries without a previous reso-
lution in committee of the house. That resolution
would not fix the amount of the charge, but would
merely enable a clause to be brought up in com-
mittee on the bill, in which the amount would be
fixed. It was the ordinary form observed by the
house, and he trusted that no objection would be
taken to it.

Mr. M. CHAMBERS trusted that objection would be
taken to it.

Sir J. PAKINGTON : Would this preliminary form
pledge the house to the amount of salaries ?
The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER : Not at all.
Mr. CARDWELL wished to know whether, by this
resolution, the maximum of tha salaries would not
be fixed?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that
the resolution would be in general terms, and would
fix the amount of the salaries.

NATIONAL GALLERY SITE.
Lord DRUMLANRIG appeared at the bar, and read
the Queen's answer to the address of the house on
this subject, in which her Majesty informed the
house that she had directed a commission of inquiry
for the purpose desired by the house.

HOUSE OF LORDS—MONDAY, JULY 7.
NAWAB OF SURAT'S TREATY BILL.
The Marquis of CLANIUCARDE moved the second
reading of this bill.
Lord REDESDALE moved, as an amendment, that it
be read that day six months.
The Duke of ARGYLL seconded the amendment.
He was not prepared to say that the Government
would object to refer the question to the Judicial
Committee of the Privy Council.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH thought the bill a bad prece-
d3nt, and earnestly desired to submit the question to
the leeision of the Judicial Committee of the Privy
Council.
Lord DENMAN supported the amendment, which
was agreed to, and the bill consequently lost.
The Court of Exchequer (Scotland) Bill was read
a second time, on the explanation of the LORD
CHANCELLOR that the bill would unite the Court of
Exchequer to the Court of Session.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-MONDAY.
CITY REFORM.

Sir G. GREY, in reply to Sir J. Duke as to whether
the Government would assist the corporation of the
city of London in passing a bill, during the present
session, to extend the right of voting in the election
of aldermen and members of the Common Council to
al occupiers within the City who were on the perils
mantary register, said he doubted the policy of
introducing a bill limited to that single object. The
bill of 1849 was a private bill, and any bill to amend
it must of course be introduced in the same form, but
the regulations of both Houses of Parliament would
prevent a private bill from passing at this period of
the session.

NATIONAL GALLERY.

Mr. H. VERNON asked whether the commission
which was to be issued on the subject of the site of
the new National Gallery would be fully empowered
to propose any site which might seem best, without
having its hands fettered in any way. The com-
mittee of 1855 had felt precluded from suggesting
several sites which seemed desirable by a delicacy as
to the tenure of those sites.
Lord PALMERSTON said he could not of course
state exactly what would be the instructions to be
given to the commission, as it was not yet issued.
No doubt, it would be open to the commissioners to
make what recommendations might seem to them
advisable, but still there were places, such as Ken-
sington Palace, St. James's Palace, and Marlborough-
house, which no Government, he conceived, would
agree to have converted into a Nations' Gallery, even
though the commission should recommend it, inas-
much as they were royal property.

THE MUTINY OF THE NORTH TIPPERARY MILITIA.
Mr. PEEL, in reply to Colonel French, said a de-
spatch had just been received from Major-General
Chatterton, stating that every thing was quiet at
Nenagh, and that one man of the 41st Regiment had
been killed, and ten or twelve of the men of the
other regiments of the line engaged in putting down
the mutiny wounded. No mention was made of the
losses which the militia had suffered.

IN INDIA.

Sir E. PERRY wished to ask the President of the
Board of Control whether he contemplated bringing
in a bill io provide a Judicial Tribunal in India, with
appeal to the Privy Council in England, for the in-
vestigation and decision of such claims on the Fi •
vate rights of the native princes and grantees of
Government as were now decided by the Executive
Government without hearing and in the absence of
the parties ?
Mr. V. SmrrH had no objection to bring in such
a bill, but he could not see his way to any satisfac-
tory legislation on the subject. He had no such
intention at present.
